Description

The present invention provides a total amount of payment including expenses necessary for conducting a commercial action for a product that can have a plurality of sales prices and different expenses (for example, shipping fee or cash on delivery fee) for each sales company. In an area designated as information (hereinafter referred to as “total amount”), the present invention relates to information processing technology for providing information such as the total amount in a commercial transaction or its breakdown. In particular, for the products whose sales price fluctuates over time even for the same sales operator, or even for the same sales price, specify information on different expenses according to conditions such as shipping fee and commission in a highly convenient form Where is it desirable to enjoy information from the consumer's point of view, such as the total amount of expenses required for local business transactions, or a breakdown of such information, as a service until the product arrives at hand? Involved in information processing technology for providing information that can be determined.

Traditionally, mail order sales and information services using catalogs and the Internet for various product price comparisons and products (including services and non-objectives) have been performed, but only uniform information can be captured. I can't.

In mail order sales using the Internet, sales companies (including corporations and individuals) sell the prices and shipping costs of products handled by their stores on a Web page (hereinafter referred to as “shop HP”) and sales price comparison Web. Post them individually on the site (hereinafter referred to as the “comparison site”). Internet users considering product purchases access shop HP and comparison sites to obtain information on sales prices, calculate the total amount due to the difference in payment methods for each product purchase method, and then apply for purchase. Do.

In addition, when consumers shop at nearby sales companies, looking at the price and comparing it with other stores, the cost of the product differs depending on the form of business conduct, and the price is generally low. There are many cases where it is not connected to cheap.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The business activities that consumers are most familiar with are the actions of going to a sales company, signing a sales contract with the sales company, paying for the product, and bringing back the product as compensation. In this case, even in different stores, if the selling price is the same, the payment price will be equal. However, it is different when multiple sales companies handle the same type of products in mail order sales. For those who are considering purchasing products, even if the selling price is the same due to the difference in multiple accompanying expenses, the payment price is different. Consumers think about how much the total amount of payment will be, what the product looks like from the market price, and where to pay less when buying it Is. In addition to mail-order sales, the consumer's personal values include information such as how much is better when compared to nearby sales operators, and how long the product will arrive. Make a purchase decision. If you want to make a satisfactory comparison of this information on the consumer side, you cannot grasp it unless you put a lot of effort into it. For sales operators, in order to promote their own competitiveness in each region, information on how their products are based on the total market price in the region of each consumer is based on detailed pricing and information for each region. It can be useful and useful information because it can be used for sales strategies. In particular, if your sales price is set below the lowest price in the total amount in the local area, if you can effectively appeal this to users in the area, it will greatly help to acquire customers and improve their image. It will be.

However, in order to grasp the total amount of goods purchased and the lowest price of the total amount, it has to be accessed actively from a number of shops HP and comparison sites, and it is further calculated with data suitable for each region. There is also a need. The burden on these is great. This burden becomes enormous when the number of products and the number of sales companies increase, and becomes more prominent.

Especially for products where the selling price fluctuates in a relatively short period even for the same sales company, the total price and the lowest price of the total price will change accordingly, The change in the market price cannot be grasped unless it is calculated with active access more frequently. For this reason, it has been very difficult to keep track of the total amount of goods purchased in each region and the lowest price in the total amount.

Further, not only the total amount of products but also product evaluation information is important information for users and sales companies. In particular, in the case of mail-order sales, there are many users who want evaluation information because the product cannot be confirmed directly by hand. For example, evaluation information such as how many potential buyers are interested in a product can be considered as the popularity of the product. It can be useful information for strategy.

For the user, the evaluation information of the sales company is also important information. In particular, in the case of mail-order sales, it is difficult to confirm the sales company directly as well as the products, so there are many users who want the evaluation information of the sales company. For example, the content of troubles separated by periods, how they were dealt with, evaluation information that many people are using a specific sales company, and specific sales in a specified area Evaluation information indicating that a company is generally inexpensive for a certain product genre can be useful information for a user to determine a purchase destination.

Therefore, the present invention provides a user and a sales company with a total market price for a product that can take a plurality of totals for each sales company, in particular, a product whose sales price fluctuates with time even in the same sales company. The purpose is to provide information on the total amount of payment so that information such as the lowest price of the total amount can be obtained efficiently.

Another object of the present invention is to provide useful information useful for a user to select a purchase product and a purchase destination and make a decision.

It is another object of the present invention to provide useful information useful for sales operators in regional (or nationwide) pricing and sales strategies.

The user also wants to know what kind of product is configured and where it is made. By adding this information, it aims to establish an image for each product for consumers and to establish and differentiate not only a brand image but also an image for each individual product.

In addition, when trying to obtain information in a satisfactory manner for each product using an information terminal or the like, the number of steps to follow is difficult until the user obtains the desired information. The purpose is to provide this in a reduced form.
