The present invention relates to an ordering terminal, an order receiving server, a printed matter, and a two-dimensional code storage program.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a mail order system for receiving and ordering products via a network such as the Internet. In a mail order system via such a communication network, for example, a user uses a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone, or the like to browse a product introduction web page published on a website by a product sales side, A system for placing an order for a desired product via a communication network, or a user viewing a product information printed on a printed matter such as a catalog or a flyer, using a PC or a mobile phone, etc. There are systems for ordering products. Of these, the latter system, which can browse product information printed on printed matter and place an order for a desired product, can introduce product information in printed form that is easy to see and understand for the user. There is a merit that you can.

In addition, there are various techniques that enable the user to input product information easily and accurately when the user selects a desired product from the product information printed on the printed material and places an order. For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a barcode related to a product printed in a catalog is scanned (scanned) by an ordering terminal (barcode reader) and sent to an order processing data center via a communication network. In this order processing data center, a mail order system is disclosed in which order information is distributed to order terminals of appropriate sales sources. Patent Document 2 listed below includes a bar code corresponding to URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of an order receiving server and a bar code corresponding to each product information by a PC or mobile phone with a built-in bar code reader.

An ordering system is disclosed.
JP 2003-141378 A (paragraphs 0027 to 0059, FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5) JP 2003-228665 A (paragraphs 0037 to 0065, FIGS. 1 to 3)

  The features of the techniques disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 are illustrated as shown in FIG. That is, in a conventional mail order system using a barcode printed on a printed material, a user uses a terminal for ordering (barcode reader) 501 to select a product among products printed on a printed material 504 such as a catalog or a flyer. The bar code 505 of the desired merchandise (the merchandise to be ordered) is scanned, the merchandise information to be ordered is taken into the ordering terminal 501, and the merchandise information fetched by scanning the bar code 505 to a predetermined order receiving server. The ordering information concerning is transmitted.

  FIG. 15 is a sequence chart showing an example of the operation of the mail order system shown in FIG. First, the ordering terminal 501 accesses a mail-order Web site provided by the order receiving server 503 (step S521: access to the site), and the order receiving server 503 transmits a top page to the ordering terminal 501. (Step S523: Send top page). At this time, for example, the URL information of a predetermined order receiving server 503 may be taken in with a barcode, and the Web site provided by the order receiving server 503 may be accessed.

  Further, the ordering terminal 501 inputs the ID and password registered in advance and transmits them to the order receiving server 503 (step S525: input and transmission of ID and password), and the order receiving server 503 performs authentication, An ordering screen page that enables product ordering is transmitted to the ordering terminal 501 (step S527: After login authentication, the ordering screen page is transmitted).

  The user scans the barcode of the desired product printed on the printed matter using the barcode reader built in the ordering terminal 501, fetches the product information, and transmits the product information to the order receiving server 503. (Step S529: Scan the barcode of the desired product and send the product information). The order receiving server 503 transmits a product confirmation page corresponding to the product information to the ordering terminal 501 (step S531: transmits the product confirmation page). In the ordering terminal 501, the number of products to be ordered (ordered number). Is input and transmitted to the order receiving server 503 (step S533: input and transmission of the number of products to be ordered). Then, the order receiving server 503 transmits a provisional order page in which product information ordered by the user and order quantity information are described to the ordering terminal 501 (step S535: transmit provisional order page).

  Through a series of processes in steps S529 to S535, a certain product and the number of orders are determined, and preparation for ordering a predetermined product is completed. Subsequently, when an order is placed for another product, the above-described series of processing of steps S529 to S535 is performed again for the other product. That is, when the number of types of products to be ordered is N, the series of processes in steps S529 to S535 described above are repeated N times. In this case, for example, information related to the ordered product is accumulated according to a shopping cart format. After the series of processing of steps S529 to S535 described above has been performed for all desired products, an instruction to place an order (final ordering instruction) is sent from the ordering terminal 501 to the ordering server 503 (steps) S537: Send final order instruction) receives an order for a product ordered through a series of processes, and sends an order completion notification page notifying that the order has been completed to ordering terminal 501 (step S539: order completion) In addition, for example, a payment server belonging to a credit card company is requested to pay for the price of the product for the user (not shown).

In addition, the voice input unit 38 is realized by a microphone or the like that can acquire an external voice including a voice uttered by the user, and the voice output unit 39 audibly notifies the user of the voice. This is realized by a speaker.

  The program storage medium 40 is, for example, a built-in or portable information storage medium, and is realized by a nonvolatile semiconductor memory or the like. Here, it is assumed that the product ordering program 42 essential for the operation according to the present invention is stored in the program storage medium 40. The product ordering program 42 is a program that can be executed by the CPU 31 in the same manner as the barcode analysis program 41, and is downloaded from a predetermined server on the order receiving side (for example, the order receiving server 13). In particular, when the program storage medium 40 is a built-in information storage medium, the program storage medium 40 and the RAM 32 have the same function, that is, the program storage medium 40 is realized by the RAM 32, and product ordering is performed. It is also possible to store the program 42 for use in the RAM 32. In FIG. 2, the barcode analysis program 41 stored in the ROM 33 can be stored in the program storage medium 40.

  Next, the operation in the product ordering system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. In the operation according to the present invention, the printed matter 21 is distributed from the order receiving side to the ordering side, and the user on the ordering side performs registration for using the mail order related to the product ordering system, and is necessary for the product ordering process. First stage of downloading a product ordering program (initial registration stage), selecting a desired product from among the products listed on the printed matter 21, and ordering the desired product from the ordering side to the order receiving side It is roughly divided into the second stage (product ordering stage).

<Initial registration stage>
First, the distribution method of the printed matter 21 and online registration (registration via the communication network 12) by the user will be described. The printed matter 21 on which the two-dimensional barcode 22 is posted is delivered to the user belonging to the ordering side by mail or the like to a specific person or by handed distribution to an unspecified number of people. The user refers to the printed material 21 and selects a desired product from among the products posted on the printed material 21 and places an order through the communication network 12. In particular, a user who purchases a product for the first time It is desirable to register for using mail order related to the product ordering system.

  Conventionally, in such online registration, an ordering terminal (here, the mobile phone 11) is used to access a predetermined registration server, and an input operation and transmission operation such as an address, name, age, and credit card number are performed. Registration is performed. However, in order to eliminate such troublesome input operations and improve user convenience, the present invention can also utilize a two-dimensional barcode. Note that the above registration server can be realized, for example, by the same server as the order receiving server 13 shown in FIG. 1. In the following description, it is assumed that online registration is performed by the order receiving server 13.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a mailing label used in the embodiment of the present invention. The mailing label 51 shown in FIG. 3 is a printed material that can be printed by the printing company 16, for example, and is affixed to the mailed material. On this mailing label 51, a two-dimensional bar code 52 is printed in addition to information necessary for mailing (zip code, address, name). The two-dimensional barcode 52 printed on the mailing label 51 includes at least the URL of the registration server (order receiving server 13) for online registration. A two-dimensional barcode 52 is picked up by the mobile phone 11, and a captured image of the two-dimensional barcode 52 is analyzed by the barcode analysis program 41 of the mobile phone 11, thereby receiving an order included in the two-dimensional barcode 52. The URL of the server 13 is supplied into the mobile phone 11. Thereby, the user can access the order receiving server 13 from the mobile phone 11 without manually inputting the URL of the order receiving server 13.

  Further, for example, the two-dimensional barcode 52 can include identification information such as the user's personal information (postal code, address, name) and the user's membership number. In particular, for a user who has purchased a product using a mail order provided by the ordering side, the user's membership number assigned at the time of purchasing the product can be included in the two-dimensional barcode 52. is there. As described above, when the user's personal information and identification information are included in the two-dimensional barcode 52, the user's personal information and identification information included in the two-dimensional barcode 52 are captured by the mobile phone 11. Personal information and identification information are supplied into the mobile phone 11. At this time, the user can also correct the personal information as necessary. As a result, the user can take his / her own personal information and identification information into the mobile phone 11 without manually inputting the personal information and, further, for example, send the personal information to the order receiving server 13 during online registration. It is also possible.

  At the time of online registration, first, the mobile phone 11 is used to access the URL of the order receiving server 13 to receive and display a predetermined registration page. Thereafter, personal information, There is a stage of inputting and transmitting a member number, a credit card number, and the like. Therefore, when the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the user's personal information and / or identification information are encoded in the same two-dimensional barcode, the information can be transmitted to the order receiving server 13 at different stages. It is desirable to apply.

  For example, after being stored in the two-dimensional barcode 52 together with a plurality of different information, taken into the mobile phone 11 with a plurality of different information through imaging and code analysis, each of the plurality of different information is identified, A program for performing the process of extracting the information separately is prepared, and when the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the personal information and / or identification information of the user are coded, the above programs are coded together and the same The two-dimensional barcode 52 is included.

  As a result, the above-mentioned program is fetched together with the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the user's personal information and / or identification information by imaging and code analysis of the two-dimensional barcode 52. At the stage of accessing the order receiving server 13, only the URL of the order receiving server 13 is extracted, and at the stage of inputting the user personal information and identification information on the registration page, only the user personal information and identification information are extracted. It is automatically entered at a predetermined location on the registration page. It should be noted that the capacity of the data area for storing the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the personal information and / or identification information of the user is specified, and the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the personal information and / or identification information of the user are respectively By adding information for specifying each information, the above-described program can separately extract the URL of the order receiving server 13 and the user's personal information and / or identification information.

  The maximum capacity of information that can be encoded by the two-dimensional barcode 52 is about several kilobytes (depending on the method, size, resolution, etc. of the two-dimensional barcode 52). Accordingly, it is necessary to adjust the capacity of the program so as not to exceed the maximum capacity for the program stored in the two-dimensional barcode 52.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, a two-dimensional barcode 52a in which the URL of the order receiving server 13 is encoded and a two-dimensional barcode 52b in which the user's personal information and / or identification information is encoded. At the stage of printing on the mailing label 51 and accessing the order receiving server 13, the user images the two-dimensional bar code 52a in which the URL of the order receiving server 13 is encoded, and the user's personal information is displayed on the registration page. At the stage of inputting information and identification information, the user may be caused to image the two-dimensional barcode 52b encoded with the user's personal information and identification information.

  As information to be encoded into the two-dimensional barcode 52 or the two-dimensional barcode 52b, for example, user personal information and / or identification information can be used. It is also possible to avoid the risk of leakage of personal information by encoding only the identification information without conversion. That is, for example, information related to the URL of the order receiving server 13 to which identification information for identifying the user is added as an argument is encoded into the two-dimensional barcodes 52 and 52b. In this case, personal information such as the user's name and address is not stored in the two-dimensional barcodes 52 and 52b, and only identification information for identifying the user is stored as information about the user. The order receiving server 13 can acquire the user identification information from the information related to the URL received from the mobile phone 11, and can acquire the personal information of the user corresponding to the identification information with reference to a predetermined database. Then, it is possible to transmit this personal information to the mobile phone 11 and have the user confirm the personal information.

  Further, by the above-described online registration, the user on the ordering side performs member registration related to mail order using the mobile phone 11, and for ordering goods for ordering goods in the mail order service from the order receiving server 13. Download the program 42. The product ordering program 42 can be executed by the CPU 31 of the mobile phone 11 and is stored in the program storage medium 40 of the mobile phone 11. The processing operation of this program will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In the above description, the initial setting operations for both the registration of personal information (member registration) of the user necessary for the mail-order sales according to the present invention and the storage of the product ordering program 42 in the mobile phone 11 will be described. Although the mode performed through the network 12 has been described, either or both of the initial setting operations can be performed without using the communication network 12.

  In other words, the user's personal information can be registered in writing using mail. Further, as a method for providing the product ordering program 42 from the order receiving side to the ordering side, for example, the memory storing the product ordering program 42 is distributed or mailed to the user on the ordering side and installed by each user. Alternatively, the product ordering program 42 can be directly installed in the mobile phone 11 from a program distribution computer installed in a predetermined store.

  Furthermore, the product ordering program 42 may be encoded and included in the two-dimensional barcodes 52, 52a, 52b printed on the mailing label 51 shown in FIGS. In this case, the ordering user images the two-dimensional barcode 52 printed on the mailing label 51, and the product ordering program 42 encoded as the two-dimensional barcode 52 is stored in the mobile phone 11. Will be supplied and installed. In this case as well, regarding the program encoded in the two-dimensional barcode 52, it is necessary to adjust the capacity of the program so as not to exceed the maximum capacity of information that can be stored in the two-dimensional barcode 52.

  Next, the printed matter 21 distributed from the order receiving side to the ordering side will be described. The printed matter 21 is a flyer or a catalog printed with a two-dimensional barcode 22 together with a list of products handled on the order side, and is illustrated in FIG. 5, for example.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a printed material used in the embodiment of the present invention. The printed matter 21 shown in FIG. 5 is one page in a catalog for mail order sales, and on this page, three types of clothes (stretch jacket, stretch shirt, casual shirt) are products for mail order sales. It is posted. In the product introduction column for these three types of clothing, a two-dimensional barcode 22 including data corresponding to the clothing is described along with descriptions of the product price, color, material, size, and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the URL of the order receiving server 13 necessary for accessing the order receiving server 13 may be encoded into a two-dimensional barcode 22 and printed on the printed matter 21. desirable.

  The user on the ordering side can select two kinds of colors or patterns of colors and four sizes for these three kinds of clothes according to his / her preference and body shape. That is, for the stretch jacket, two colors of gray and brown and four sizes of S to LL can be selected. For the stretch shirt, two colors of blue and red and four sizes of S to LL can be selected. With respect to, two color patterns of blue / yellow and red / white and four sizes S to LL can be selected.

  As described above, since two kinds of colors or patterns of colors and four sizes are set for each of the three kinds of clothes, actually, 2 × 4 combinations (for each of the three kinds of clothes ( For example, in the case of a stretch jacket, (color, size) = (gray, S), (gray, M), (gray, L), (gray, LL), (brown, S), (brown, M), (Tea, L) and (tea, LL) 8 combinations). Therefore, each type of garment needs to be further categorized and given an identification number so that a color or color pattern and size can be specified. The product numbers such as 2236 and 2237 listed in the product introduction column of each garment in FIG. 5 are identification numbers that specify the color or pattern and size of the clothing in addition to the clothing of the product. By this, the product for which the user places an order is completely specified.

  In the conventional technique, it is necessary to set and print a barcode 505 for each product corresponding to each product number. That is, in the conventional technique, for example, when a barcode 505 corresponding to three types of clothes is displayed on the printed matter 504, there are eight combinations for each of the three types of clothes, so that 3 × 8 = 24 barcodes 505 had to be posted on the printed material 504. On the other hand, in the present invention, the information on each piece of clothing encoded in the two-dimensional barcode 22 has a data structure as shown in FIG. 6 described below, and the two-dimensional barcode 22 corresponding to each clothing type (ie, When there are three types of clothes, the two-dimensional barcodes 22) are devised to be printed on the printed matter 21. As a result, it is possible to realize paper saving and printing cost saving related to barcode printing, and to realize a printed matter 21 having an easy-to-view layout.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data structure included in the two-dimensional barcode printed on the printed material used in the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows an area for storing printed matter identification information for identifying the printed matter 21 (identification information region 61), an area for storing product type information for specifying the type of product (product type region 62), and each subsequent product. An area for storing information representative of the product (representative information area 63), an area for storing the number of repetitions of each subsequent product (repetition number area 64), and an area for storing information relating to each of a plurality of products (product information area 65 ) Is shown.

  In the identification information area 61, for example, printed matter identification information such as a catalog number for identifying a catalog number or the like is stored. The product type area 62 stores product type information for specifying the type of products such as clothes and fresh food. The printed matter identification information and the product type information are information that can specify the type of the printed matter 21 or the product by referring to a predetermined correspondence table or the like (for example, a catalog number indicating a catalog issuance date). "A030912Y" and a list of numbers and symbols such as information "001" indicating clothing) are stored.

  In the representative information area 63, for example, information such as a page number of product information in the printed matter 21 and characteristics common to products stored in subsequent areas are stored. Such information is used, for example, as a title of a page displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone 11 as described later. In the repetition number area 64, the number of products included in the two-dimensional barcode 22 is stored.

  The product information area 65 stores information such as product numbers and product names related to each of a plurality of products. Note that information such as the product number and the product name is preferably stored according to a predetermined rule corresponding to the product type information. That is, for example, when the product type information is clothing, it is desirable that the product number, product name, color, size, etc. are stored as product information in a predetermined data size or in a predetermined order. The product information area 65 preferably stores information suitable for each product. For example, when the product is furniture, its dimensions are stored, and when the product is detergent, the content is stored. It is desirable to do so.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of data included in the two-dimensional barcode printed on the printed material used in the embodiment of the present invention, and specifically explains the data structure shown in FIG. is there. FIG. 7 shows information related to a casual shirt among the three types of clothes shown in FIG. This information is information included in the two-dimensional barcode 22 corresponding to the casual shirt shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 7, the catalog number “A030912Y” is stored in the identification information area 61, and the template pattern number “001” is stored in the product type area 62. As described above, these numbers are numbers representing the types of the printed matter 21 and the product, and by referring to a predetermined correspondence table, it is possible to easily acquire information regarding the type of the corresponding printed matter 21 and the product. It is. For example, the template pattern number “001” corresponds to the case where the product type is clothing, and the template pattern number “002” corresponds to the case where the product type is fresh food. Along with the type of product, it is used as information for declaring the type and order of information in an area for storing information related to each of a plurality of products. The predetermined correspondence table is included in the product ordering program 42, and it is desirable that the cellular phone 11 can easily acquire such correspondence by starting the product ordering program 42.

  In FIG. 7, information “casual shirt” is stored in the representative information area 63, and “8” is stored as the repetition number in the repetition number area 64. These pieces of information indicate that subsequent information (information relating to a plurality of products in the product information area) is information related to a casual shirt, and that 8 information related to a casual shirt is stored. ing.

  In FIG. 7, information corresponding to all combinations of the casual shirt color pattern and size is stored in the product information area 65. Specifically, the item number “3234” of the casual shirt of (color pattern, size) = (blue / yellow, S) and information on the color pattern and size, (color pattern, size) = (blue / yellow, M) Casual shirt part number “3235” and information on color pattern and size, (Color pattern, size) = (Blue / Yellow, L) Casual shirt part number “3236” and information on color pattern and size , (Color pattern, size) = (blue / yellow, LL) casual shirt part number “3237” and information on color pattern and size, (color pattern, size) = (red / white, S) casual Information on shirt part number “3338” and color pattern and size, (color pattern, size) = (red / white, M) casual shirt part number “3339” and color Information on turn and size, (Color pattern, size) = (Red / white, L) Casual shirt part number “3340” and information on color pattern and size, (Color pattern, size) = (Red / White) , LL) casual shirt item number “3341” and color pattern and size information are stored.

<Product ordering stage>
Next, a description will be given of a product ordering stage in which the user on the ordering side selects a desired product from among the products posted on the printed matter 21 and orders the desired product from the order receiving side. In the following description, it is assumed that the member registration on the ordering side and the installation of the product ordering program 42 on the mobile phone 11 have already been completed through the initial registration stage.

  At the product ordering stage, the user on the ordering side selects a desired product to be ordered, images the two-dimensional barcode printed on the printed matter 21 using the mobile phone 11, and relates to the desired product. The information is taken in and an order is placed with respect to the order receiving server 13 via the communication network 12.

  Hereinafter, the processing in the mobile phone 11 and the display screen during the main processing of the mobile phone 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing of the mobile phone according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a display screen in main steps of processing of the mobile phone shown in FIG.

  First, the user on the ordering side decides a desired product to place an order while viewing pictures, texts, etc. of the printed matter 21 and operates the cellular phone 11 to start the product ordering program 42 (for example, Java ( R) Launching the app). By this operation, the mobile phone 11 executes the product ordering program 42 and displays a product purchase selection page (step S101: display of the product purchase selection page).

  Further, in the processing of step S101, as shown in FIG. 9A, the display screen for the product purchase selection page is displayed on the display screen. The product purchase selection page has a plurality of fields for registering ordered products (the initial screen shows that the product has not been registered), and each of the plurality of fields is subjected to a series of processes performed thereafter. The ordered product will be registered.

  When the user on the ordering side selects (clicks) any of the plurality of fields for registering the ordered product, the mobile phone 11 activates the imaging function and can capture the two-dimensional barcode 22. It becomes a state. When the two-dimensional barcode 22 on the printed matter 21 including the information related to the desired product is captured (step S103: imaging of the two-dimensional barcode), the mobile phone 11 reads the barcode analysis program 41. Is activated, and the code analysis of the two-dimensional barcode 22 is performed, and the analyzed information is decoded (decode process) (step S105: code analysis / decode process). The display screen of the mobile phone 11 in step S105 is as shown in FIG.

  Note that the above decryption processing is necessary when information encoded in the two-dimensional barcode 22 is encrypted in advance when the two-dimensional barcode 22 is created on the order receiving side. The decryption processing program is included in the product ordering program 42. The encryption of the information stored in the two-dimensional barcode 22 makes it difficult to capture meaningful information (information after decryption) with a normal barcode recognition function, making it difficult to misuse the information. Have. It should be noted that a unique encryption / decryption key or a unique encryption method may be adopted so that the information encoded in the two-dimensional barcode can be decrypted only by the decryption processing program in the product ordering program 42. desirable.

  After the code analysis / decoding processing in step S105, the mobile phone 11 has the data structure shown in FIG. 6 and takes in information related to the product in which the data is arranged as shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the user on the ordering side is going to register a casual shirt as an ordered product and has captured a two-dimensional barcode 22 corresponding to the casual shirt on the printed matter 21 shown in FIG.

  Based on the information relating to the product thus taken into the mobile phone 11, the mobile phone 11 creates a product order page and displays it on the display screen (step S107: creation / display of the product order page). ). The product order page is created, for example, by placing information representing a product or information related to each of a plurality of products at a predetermined location on a template page (template page) for a product order page. .

  This product order page is characterized in that a desired product can be selected from a plurality of products on one page. That is, as in the product order page shown in FIG. 9C, all the combinations relating to the color pattern and size of the casual shirt are displayed, for example, by a pull-down method and can be selected. The ordering user can select a desired product from a plurality of products (blue / yellow S size is selected in FIGS. 9C and 9D), and As shown in FIG. 9D, the order quantity can also be selected by a pull-down method.

  Then, for example, by selecting a confirmation button in the display screen, the ordered product and the ordered quantity are confirmed, and information related to the ordered product is stored in, for example, the RAM 32 (step S109: information on the ordered product) Save). At the same time, an ordering page in which the ordered product is registered and displayed in one of a plurality of columns provided on the product purchase selection page is created and displayed as shown in FIG. 9 (e). It is displayed on the screen (step S111: creation / display of ordering page).

  In this example, a plurality of products can be displayed and selected by a pull-down method. However, for example, the user can easily select by using other methods such as a check box method and a radio button method. Possible display can be realized. In addition, here, a case where only one product is selected from a plurality of products displayed by the pull-down method is described. For example, “a blue / yellow S size of a casual shirt”, It is also possible to select a plurality of products and register them as ordered products, such as “two casual shirts in red / white LL size”.

  Further, it is possible to further register another product by selecting a column in which the ordered product is not registered among the plurality of columns on the ordering page. When the user on the ordering side registers another product (step S113: Is there another ordered product? “Yes”), the processing from step S103 onward is performed again for another product. In this case, the user on the ordering side captures another two-dimensional barcode 22 and takes in information related to different products into the mobile phone 11 and registers it as an ordered product. It is desirable not to delete information on registered order items. In other words, once ordered product is registered, it is desirable to hold it as ordered product unless the user intentionally cancels it.

  On the other hand, when all the products desired to be ordered are registered by the user (step S113: “There is another ordered product ??” “No”), the user on the ordering side, for example, the ordering page (FIG. 9 (e) ) Display button)) is selected. At this time, the final confirmation page shown in FIG. 9F is displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone 11 (step S115: display of the final confirmation page). In addition, in the final confirmation page shown in FIG. 9 (f), there are three types of ordered products (one casual shirt blue / yellow S size, one stretch jacket gray S size, one stretch shirt red S size). 1) is registered as an order item.

  The user on the ordering side instructs the mobile phone 11 to transmit the ordered product to the order receiving side by selecting the confirmation button displayed on the final confirmation page. Thereby, the mobile phone 11 transmits information related to the ordered product (in this case, information related to the three types of ordered products) to the order receiving server 13 via the communication network 12 (step S117: to the ordered product). The information is transmitted to the order receiving server 13), and information indicating the completion of the order (order receiving notification information) or some error message is received from the order receiving server 13, indicating that it is in the standby state. The ordering processing notification page to be notified (for example, the display screen shown in FIG. 9G) is displayed on the display screen (step S119: display of the ordering processing notification page).

  When the order receiving product 13 has received an order and the mobile phone 11 receives the order completion notification information from the order receiving server 13 (step S121: reception of the order completion notification information), the order receiving product 13 An order completion notification page (for example, the display screen shown in FIG. 9H) for notifying the user that the order has been completed by the server 13 is displayed on the display screen (step S123: display of the order completion notification page).

  Further, in the description using the flowchart of FIG. 8 described above, the processing operation related to the mobile phone 11 is mainly referred to. However, the processing operation of the entire product ordering system is as shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is a sequence chart showing the operation of the product ordering system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The ordering process in the mobile phone 11 shown in FIG. 10 corresponds to the processing operations in steps S101 to S115 shown in FIG. That is, in the ordering process, a product is selected by the ordering user. When the order receiving server 13 receives the information related to the ordered product from the mobile phone 11 (corresponding to step S117 in FIG. 8), the order receiving server 13 places an order based on the information related to the ordered product received from the mobile phone 11. The product information is transmitted to the mail order company server 14 as the ordered product list information (step S151), and the payment information such as the credit card number of the user and the payment price is transmitted to the financial institution server 15 (step S153). .

  The mail order company server 14 and the financial institution server 15 that have received the order information list information and the settlement information return the reception confirmation information indicating that the reception has been performed to the order receiving server 13 (step S155: reception). Confirmation information is transmitted, step S157: reception confirmation information is transmitted). The mail order company server 14 can check the stock and include information such as whether or not the ordered product is shipped in the reception confirmation information, and the financial institution server 15 is responsible for the price of the ordered product. Information such as whether payment is possible can be included in the reception confirmation information. Then, the order receiving server 13 completes predetermined processing between the mail order company server 14 and the financial institution server 15, and receives order completion notification information for notifying the mobile phone 11 that the order has been completed. 11 (corresponding to step S121 in FIG. 8).
