Description

  The present invention relates to a consignment purchase system and a consignment purchase method for a member serving as a buyer to perform a purchase from a member serving as a client.

  Conventionally, various systems have been proposed for allowing members registered in a hosting service to access a predetermined site via the Internet and to act as sellers and buyers of private auctions. In such a system, it is known that a member operates a personal computer or the like to upload an image or the like together with a bid condition to a management server of the site regarding auction items. There are many individuals who have both hobbies and benefits, and they enjoy these operations when they have time. A member who wants to bid for an interesting exhibit wants to make an advantageous bid by carefully considering the bid price on his own.

However, the conventional techniques as described above have the following problems.
(1) Since the member who becomes an exhibitor wants more members to vote and wants to raise the bid price as much as possible, the bidding deadline is set to be somewhat longer to give a margin. Therefore, it did not meet the needs of closing bids in a very short time or immediately. For example, even if you happen to find a special item with a good sense in the city, it is extremely difficult to access the auction site on the spot. It did not invite such a casual game sensation, nor was it motivated to suddenly feel money gaming.
(2) Such a bargain is not necessarily a well-known brand product, nor is it actually used by an exhibitor, so it is not possible to provide more detailed explanations about the usage and manufacturing conditions than necessary. Therefore, since the member who wants to entrust the purchase wants to see the actual product with his / her own eyes and wants to confirm these before payment, it is essential to provide an image of the product. Moreover, because I happened to find it in the city, it was very important as a procedure to immediately upload an image at that time, but lacked consideration to align the virtual world with the real world.
(3) Exhibits are generally owned by members themselves, and even if the winning bid price remains low, it is unlikely that the seller will immediately pose an economic risk, even if the winning bid is not successful. A bidder may not bid with a higher bid than the retail price. However, since many of the members who are buyers entrusted with the purchase are individuals, we want to add the desired fee to the cost and undertake the purchase while avoiding the risk of such auction. The settlement of the predetermined price had to be guaranteed without fail. As described above, the hosting service using the auction system cannot provide a reasonable electronic market in which the risk of both parties is eliminated between the member entrusting the purchase and the member entrusting the purchase.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and consignment purchase for an electronic market in which members can be consigned for purchase in a short time without risk by accessing a hosting service through a telecommunication line. The purpose is to provide a system and a consignment purchase method.

Can be mentioned.

  Next, the consignment purchase method in the second embodiment will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the purchaser registers information for becoming a member in advance in the member database 50 (see FIG. 11) from the purchaser telephone 80 (step S1: from the purchaser telephone 80 to the management server 60). Further, a member who becomes a buyer registers information for the member to become a buyer in advance in the member database 50 (see FIG. 11) from the buyer telephone 10. Specifically, the fact that it is a buyer is registered in the member classification of the member information (step S1: from the buyer telephone 10 to the management server 60).

  As described above, when the purchaser and the buyer register the member information, the product information that can be contracted by the buyer using the product registration function 13 of the buyer telephone 10 is registered in the product database 40 (see FIG. 10). become able to. Hereinafter, processing related to registration of product information including contract conditions for consignment purchase of the product 19 by the buyer will be described.

  When a buyer finds a product that can be purchased using the buyer's telephone 10 and shoots it with a CCD camera, and activates the product registration function 13, the management server 60 is accessed and a registration form is transmitted (step S2). .

  Next, in the condition computerization step of the buyer's telephone 10, the buyer's contract conditions are keyed into the registration form from the input interface 12 and organized into an e-mail in a predetermined format (step S3). The contract conditions include the contents regarding purchase such as the purchase place and number of commodities that can be purchased and the contract period. In the image digitization step, a photographed image of the product is attached to the e-mail from the camera interface 11 to the image information (step S4). In the product registration step, this e-mail is transmitted to the management server 60 as a “product registration mail” (step S5), and the entered contract conditions are passed to the consignment acceptance function 14 and stored (step S12). ).

  Next, the management server 60 accepts the “product registration email” transmitted from the buyer telephone 10 in step S5, and registers the product information in the product database 40 (see FIG. 10) based on the content of the “product registration email”. (Step S6, product registration step).

  As described above, when the buyer registers the commodity information that can be contracted for consignment purchase in the commodity database 40 (see FIG. 10), the purchaser can request the consignment purchase using the procedure processing function 63 of the management server 60. It becomes like this. Hereinafter, processing related to a request for consignment purchase of the product 19 by the purchaser will be described.

  First, the management server 60 receives a product search request based on the search keyword transmitted from the purchaser telephone 80 by the purchaser's operation, and searches the product database 40 (see FIG. 10) for a product group corresponding to the search keyword. (Step S7). Then, a search result including the product information of each searched product 19 and the image information 19a is transmitted (step S8), and the information is displayed on the purchaser telephone 80 (see FIG. 7). When the purchaser selects the desired product 19, information that can identify the selected product 19 is received from the purchaser telephone 80 (step S 9), and based on the product information of the selected product 19 (see FIG. 10). The contract procedure form in which the contract unit price and the contract deadline are set is transmitted (step S10).

In this embodiment, the search result includes information on buyers of each product, for example, evaluation of buyers (evaluation based on the presence or absence of product shipment from the purchase requester, evaluation based on the handling status of purchased products, purchase Sense evaluation based on product sense, etc., results, nickname (buyer name), main activity area, age, photo, activity information (whether active buyer activity, dormant buyer, etc.) A link selection input section linked to the page is included, and the purchaser selects the link selection input section corresponding to each of these products, thereby delivering the linked buyer page to the purchaser telephone 80. By doing so, the purchaser confirms what kind of person the buyer is before entrusting the purchase, and confirms the activity status at that time, and whether or not to carry out the purchase entrustment It has to be able to implement the decision. In addition, although evaluations and achievements on these buyer pages are mandatory, the nickname (buyer name), main activity area, age, and photos do not have to be disclosed. It can be set by the buyer himself.

  Next, the purchaser operates the purchaser telephone 80 to request the consignment purchase of the product 19 with respect to the consignment procedure form, and the processing for causing the management server 60 to deposit the contract unit price of the product 19. The consignment information (see FIG. 12) including the consignment contents to be used is input, and “consignment mail” including the consignment information is transmitted to the management server 60. Then, the management server 60 accepts the “consignment mail” by the procedure processing function 63 and decodes the consignment information including the consignment contents of the consignment mail, thereby saving it in the setting memory in association with the member information (see FIG. 11). And it transfers to the price transfer function 64 (step S11, purchase commission acceptance step).

Specifically, in these consignment procedure forms, for example, in the case where the consignment procedure is performed for a product for which a prepaid (deposit) by credit card is set as a settlement category, these deposits are performed using FIG. Explaining the flow, the consignment procedure form is provided with a card number input section for a credit card number (hereinafter abbreviated as a card number) for carrying out settlement of the product price (price). Based on the card number input to the input unit, the management server 60 identifies the purchaser's credit card number. In the second embodiment, the credit card number is received from the purchaser each time in the consignment procedure form. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the member who becomes the purchaser of these credit card numbers. Is stored in the member database 50 in association with the member account information in association with the member ID, and the member's credit card number is automatically determined from the member ID when the purchaser logs in to the site. Therefore, it is possible to improve the convenience for the member.

  Then, the management server 60 transmits a credit inquiry including the card number and the product price to the management computer of the credit card company corresponding to the specified credit card number.

  Based on the reception of the credit inquiry, the management computer of the credit card company confirms whether the amount of the shopping frame corresponding to the card number is equal to or higher than the product price, and sends the credit confirmation information including the confirmation result to the management server 60. Send back.

  Based on this reply, the management server 60 cannot obtain a credit due to an insufficient amount of money if the confirmation result included in the received credit confirmation information is a confirmation result that the amount of shopping space is insufficient. However, if the confirmation result included in the received credit confirmation information is a confirmation result that the amount of the shopping frame is sufficient, it is determined that the deposit is possible and the shopping frame of the product price is determined. Is sent to the credit card company management computer.

  If the management server 60 determines that the deposit cannot be made, the management server 60 stops the deposit procedure, and notifies the purchaser of the product that the reservation is not possible by using a deposit impossible mail or a deposit impossible message screen. To do.

  Based on the receipt of the use reservation, the management computer of the credit card company subtracts and updates the product price (price) from the amount of the shopping frame corresponding to the card number, and maintains (secures) the shopping frame of the product price, The maintenance completion is returned to the management server 60.

  Then, based on the reception of the completion of the maintenance, the management server 60 transmits an instruction mail to the buyer of the product in a consignment process described later, assuming that the deposit procedure has been completed.

  When the deposit procedure is completed in this way and the purchase information that the purchaser requests the buyer for the commission purchase and the deposit information (see FIG. 12) indicating the deposit contents are stored in the management server 60, the management server 60 The commission information is processed by the price transfer function 64. Hereinafter, the process until the buyer purchases the product 19 will be described.

  The price transfer function 64 of the management server 60 extracts unprocessed consignment information (see FIG. 12) when the event timer satisfies a predetermined condition (step S13), and collates with the corresponding product information (see FIG. 10). Further, it is also collated with the account information of the corresponding member information (see FIG. 11) (step S14). Then, when the contracted unit price, settlement classification, deposit details, etc. of the product 19 are collated, a process for depositing the deposit amount to the purchaser based on the deposit contents included in the commission information (step S15, price) Deposit step). After that, it is determined whether or not the price of the product 19 has been deposited from the purchaser, and if it is confirmed that the deposit has been made, an “instruction mail” including a guarantee content to the effect that the management company guarantees the payment of the product 19 is organized. Then, the message is transmitted to the buyer's telephone 10 (step S16, purchase guarantee e-mail transmission step), and the entrustment information is set in a reception waiting state and stored in the setting memory (step S17).

  The consignment acceptance function 14 of the buyer's telephone 10 accepts the “instruction mail” addressed to the buyer (step S18), and there is a guarantee content that the management company guarantees the payment of the product 19 based on this “instruction mail”. Deciphering and collating with the contract condition of the merchandise information (see FIG. 10) stored in step S12. Then, the verification result is displayed and confirmed by the buyer. When the buyer accepts the guarantee contents of the management company by the buyer based on the key operation or the like (step S19), the guarantee contents are stored and set in a transfer waiting state (step S20).

  As described above, when the buyer receives an “instruction mail” indicating that the consignment purchase is requested from the management server 60 and accepts the guarantee contents of the management company, the buyer purchases the product 19 and sends it to the purchaser. Then, the purchaser who has received the product 19 transmits a “reception mail” indicating the receipt to the management server 60, and the price is transferred to the buyer by the price transfer function 64 of the management server 60. Below, we will explain how the buyer gets the price.

  When the price transfer function 64 of the management server 60 receives the “receipt mail” of the product from the purchaser telephone 80 (step S21, receipt confirmation email reception step), the “receipt email” is decoded and the product information (FIG. 10) is received.
