Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an order receiving system for improved parts of fishing gear using the Internet, a server machine for implementing this system, and a method for selling improved parts.
[0002]
[Prior art]
(1) Up to now, consumable parts such as replacement of failed parts and worn parts are generally called “repair parts”, and the degree of wear varies slightly depending on the usage status and maintenance frequency of the user. However, pinion gears and master gears used for reels are known to wear out over a period of 3 to 5 years. Therefore, the manufacturer was able to infer from the number of sales of reels, etc. the start time of supply of repair parts and the quantity thereof. In addition, manufacturers supply various maintenance products such as reel oil and grease so that consumers do not need to supply such repair parts as much as possible.
[0003]
On the other hand, manufacturers strive to build a system that requires as few repair parts as possible by adopting gears that are less likely to wear, slides that are less likely to rattle, and parts that are resistant to rust. Is also going. In this way, manufacturers are always thinking of supplying reasonable products with high basic performance.
[0004]
▲ 2 ▼ However, some users want to customize it when they want higher performance, such as light weight, high rigidity, wear resistance, etc. It is difficult to predict the demand for parts to be replaced for these purposes. This is because if there is no problem in performance as a product, the angler does not have to change parts.
[0005]
(3) Although demand for “improved parts” for such performance improvement and customization is diversified, the number of demand is small. In particular, the improved parts of the fishing gear have different shapes depending on their fishing method and the target fish.
[0006]
The “improved parts” in this invention means replaceable parts, but not purely for the purpose of improving the performance of fishing gear, rather than the “repair parts” for replacing failed parts and worn parts as described above. Means the part to be replaced.
[0007]
(4) For this reason, it is difficult for dealers to predict the sales of such improved parts, and there is a high possibility that it will become a defective stock when purchased, and there is a risk in purchasing.
[0008]
On the other hand, anglers (customers) who wanted improved parts often did not purchase the improved parts desired by the dealers, and could not be purchased immediately when needed. In addition, it was inconvenient for the customer because the procedure of going to a store to place an order for purchase and receiving it at a later date was performed.
[0009]
(5) From the viewpoint of responding to the needs for such diversified improved parts, it can be said that it is desirable for manufacturers to produce by order. However, it was difficult to aggregate the needs of anglers and to manage customers.
[0010]
(6) It should be noted that producers who have a membership system had to provide services to members preferentially over general customers when ordering improved parts.
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
(1) Therefore, the present invention is to enable a customer to easily order improved parts. Another issue is to avoid the risk of purchasing the dealers for the sales of improved parts.
[0012]
(2) Further, it is also an object to easily collect orders and manage customers when ordering improved parts. In particular, the object is to provide a system for quickly producing “improved parts” popular with customers.

[0041]
(13) One embodiment of the present invention is to sell the produced improved parts in a non-public manner using the back sales site. However, the number of customers who know the back sales site is limited to those that have sent purchase request information, so the number is small. Therefore, in order to reduce the inventory, it is desirable to publish the back sales site on the Internet and promote sales to as many people as possible when the sales at the back sales site cannot be completed.
[0042]
Therefore, the present invention is the server machine described above,
-The "back sale site" is published on the Internet after a certain period of time has passed since being posted on the Internet.
[0043]
Improved parts (inventories) that have not been sold on the back sales site can be used to provide information to a wide range of people by using various search sites on the Internet. Thereby, the unsold part of the produced improved parts can be prevented. Furthermore, by utilizing the site of this table, sales based on parts information can be advertised, and the use of this system can be promoted.
[0044]
(14) Further, the present invention has means for receiving the “purchase information” of the improved parts based on the “back sales site” and storing the “purchase information” in association with the “customer information”. It is characterized by this. Based on this “purchase information”, the producer can sell improved parts.
[0045]
(15. Server machine: Contact the buyer of the improved parts)
Furthermore, this invention is the server machine described above,
・ Memorize the e-mail address of the purchaser of improved parts,
・ It has a means to read the e-mail address of the purchaser of the improved parts related to the produced improved parts,
-It has a means to transmit the electronic mail containing URL of a "back sale site" to the e-mail address of the said purchaser.
[0046]
If you have already purchased improved parts, the purchase rate of new improved parts is considered high. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently sell improved parts by introducing the back sales site to the already purchased person.
[0047]
(16. Server machine: purchase method selection means)
The present invention is the server machine described above,
In the “means for prompting input of purchase request information”, purchase selection means of “absolute purchase” and “purchase request” are provided, and the selected “purchase method” is stored in correspondence with the “purchase request information”. It is characterized by this.
[0048]
At the time of transmission of “purchase request information”, there are a mix of customers who are willing to purchase the produced improved parts and those who are not. Therefore, by providing means for selecting “absolute purchase” and “purchase hope”, the producer can grasp the degree of intention of the purchaser.
[0049]
Moreover, unsold goods can be prevented by adjusting the number of productions according to the degree of “absolute purchase” and “purchase hope”. For example, even improved parts that have the same number of pieces of “purchase information” gathered are produced with a large number of customers who make absolute purchases.
[0050]
Furthermore, for customers who have selected absolute purchase, it can be handled as if there was an application for purchase, and it can be delivered as soon as improved parts are produced. In this case, the customer can obtain the desired product as soon as possible. On the other hand, the producer can trade quickly and avoid the situation where the producer is canceled.
[0051]
(17) The present invention is the server machine described above,
In the “means for prompting the input of purchase request information”, purchase selection means of “absolute purchase” and “purchase request” are provided, and the selected “purchase method” is stored in correspondence with the “purchase request information”. ,
In accordance with the production of the improved parts, it has means for sending an e-mail including the URL of the “back sales site” to the e-mail address of the customer who selected “Purchase Request”.
[0052]
Thus, the customer does not have to decide to purchase a product “when he / she is prompted to order improved parts”, but only after the improved parts are produced and an e-mail arrives. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sufficient judgment period for whether or not to purchase to the customer.
[0053]
(18. Server machine: Customer desired parts information)
The present invention is the server machine described above,
・ Has a means to prompt the customer to input the "desired parts information"
・ Memorize the input "parts information",
-A means for displaying this "desired part information" on the customer terminal together with the above "part information" and a means for prompting the customer to input "purchase desired information" for this "desired part information" And
-It has a means to memorize | store the "purchase hope information" of the said "desired part" sent from a customer terminal.
[0054]
Many people who purchase improved parts have ideas about each part. However, a general angler cannot make (idealize) such an idea.
[0055]
In addition, as an original tool, there was a case where the producer of the fishing gear was asked to manufacture based on a special specification. However, with such a request, the number of products produced is small and the price per item becomes high. In addition, since the production is limited to a small amount, even if the product is expensive, no profit can be obtained.
[0056]
In this invention, the desired parts that the customer wants are included in the “part information” and sent to various customers via the Internet, so that those who are interested in the desired parts and those who are willing to send send the purchase desired information. To do.
[0057]
Therefore, the producer can predict the sales of the desired parts based on the number of pieces of purchase request information, and can produce only when certain sales can be expected.
[0058]
Furthermore, since a certain number of productions are performed, it can be sold at a lower price than conventional special specification products. On the other hand, the person who proposed the desired parts can obtain the desired parts at a low price because their ideas are widely supported.
[0059]
(19) The present invention is the server machine described above,
-Based on the "Purchase Request Information" sent from the customer terminal, it has means for storing the "popularity" of the desired part,
・ There is a means to change the price of the desired part as appropriate according to the "popularity" of the stored desired part,
-It has the means to display the price after this change on a customer terminal.
[0060]
The more such special products are made, the lower the manufacturing cost of one product can be made. Therefore, by changing the price according to the number of orders and displaying this price on the customer terminal, it becomes possible to increase the purchase motivation of the purchaser. For example, two customers who plan to purchase one purchase. Also, invite friends to buy.
[0061]
(20. Sales method)
Further, the present invention is a method for selling improved parts using the Internet, which is performed by a producer for a customer, and includes the following steps.
A step in which the customer requests the producer to transmit “part information” regarding the improved parts of the fishing tackle (S1)
A step in which the producer transmits the “part information” to the customer (S2)
The customer receives and displays the “part information” (S3)
A step in which the customer transmits “customer information” that can specify the mail address and the delivery destination of the product, and also transmits “purchase request information” that specifies the desired improved parts (S4).
The producer receives “customer information” and “purchase information” and stores them in correspondence (S5).
The producer produces an improved part and creates a “back sales site” that encourages the purchase of the improved part (S6)
A step of sending an e-mail including the URL of the “back sales site” to the e-mail address of the customer who sent the “purchase information” of the improved part in accordance with the production of the improved part (S7)

As a program to be stored, in addition to various programs for demonstrating the function as a web server that transmits and transmits various types of information, a program as a mail server that transmits e-mails, and other "comparison of popularity numbers" , “Changing the list order of improved parts”, “Creating back sales sites”, etc. In addition, in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, it is desirable that the server machine stores a program for performing the following processing.
(1) A mail address of a customer is specified and stored from “customer information” sent from the customer terminal.
(2) One that calculates a daily date and creates a back sale site when that date is the scheduled production date for one improved part, and further posts the back sale site on the Internet. In addition, the program which performs each process which is embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in each embodiment.
[0066]
(Storage means 25)
The storage means 25 stores a “part information file”. In this file, the name and description of the improved parts to be sold in the present invention, the popularity number, the production start number, etc. are stored for each improved part. An example in which this part information is displayed on the display screen of the customer terminal is shown in FIG. In the figure, A to D are shown as improved parts. In addition to the explanation of each improved part, the scheduled production date, price, number of popularity, number of levels, and number of production start, which are the starting points for production of this improved part, are shown. indicate. In addition, as a structure of this part information, it can implement in the form containing a sales scheduled date and other information.
[0067]
The improved parts stored in the part information can be stored in an arbitrary order and displayed on the customer terminal. However, it is not possible to determine which improved parts will be produced earlier and will be sold. Therefore, as the order of the list of the improved parts included in the part information, a form displayed on the customer terminal in the order of the scheduled production date is desirable, and a form changed and stored in the order of the scheduled production date is desirable. In FIG. 3, the display is performed from the one with the earlier production schedule, but the embodiment with the earlier production schedule may be displayed at the bottom.
[0068]
Further, “desired part information” which is a part desired by the customer is stored in the same manner as the improved part.
[0069]
(Storage means 26)
The storage means 26 stores a “customer information file”. This file stores information necessary for identifying the customer, such as the customer name, address, and telephone number, and delivering the improved parts. Further, if the URL of the back sale site is transmitted to the customer by electronic mail, the mail address of the customer is stored.
[0070]
Furthermore, in the embodiment that promotes sales promotion to customers who have purchased the improved parts so far, the customer information includes the e-mail address of the already purchased person and the name and product number of the improved parts purchased by the person. Corresponding information that can identify parts is stored.
[0071]
(Supplementary explanation)
In FIG. 2, the storage units 24 to 26 are described in different configurations. However, the storage device need not be physically independent and can be implemented as a single storage device. Further, these storage means do not need to be integrated with the server machine, but are devices independent of the server machine and can transmit and receive various types of information via a network (private line). This is a server machine according to the present invention including a dedicated line.
[0072]

The customer terminal can be implemented with an input device, a control device, a communication device, and a display device, and can be implemented using various computers. Moreover, if it can communicate with a server machine, it can implement also using a mobile telephone and PDA (information portable terminal), and it is set as a customer terminal including these.
[0073]
3. Flow of information and improved parts
The system according to the present invention is used by a person who wants to purchase improved parts of a fishing gear (purchaser). The flow of information on the Internet and the flow of improved parts shown in FIG. 1 will be described in three stages.
[0074]
(Stage 1) When selling improved parts using the Internet
(1) The customer accesses the server machine using the customer terminal.
(2) The server machine transmits part information to the customer terminal.
(3) The customer who has seen the parts information transmits to the server machine the desired purchase information that specifies the improved parts desired to be purchased and the quantity thereof.
[0075]
(Stage 2) When selling improved parts limited to users of this system
(4) The server machine transmits the back sales site to the customer terminal.
(5) The customer who has seen the back sales site sends purchase information to the server machine informing him that he will purchase the improved parts.
[0076]
(Stage 3) After manufacturing improved parts
Through the above flow, the improved parts produced by any delivery means are delivered to the customer who has sent the server machine a purchase request.
[0077]
4). Explanation of each step
The steps of implementing the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
(Stage 1)
(S1) The customer requests the producer to transmit “part information” regarding the improved parts of the fishing gear. Specifically, the customer accesses the server machine from the customer terminal and requests parts information. At this time, the server machine may be configured to obtain a membership number and a password, and proceed to the following steps only for approved customers.
(S2) The producer transmits the “part information” to the customer. In the server machine that has received the request, the control unit 21 reads the part information from the storage unit 25 and transmits the part information via the Internet.
[0078]
(S3) The customer who has received the “part information” displays it on the customer terminal. The screen on which the part information is displayed is as shown in FIG. In the figure, the improved parts A to D are explained, and the production date and price are displayed. The part information sent from the server machine prompts the user to input “purchase request information” for specifying the improved part desired to be purchased. In the figure, the item “selection” is used to prompt the customer to click on a product line that he / she wishes to purchase. In addition to a form in which the product name and product number are input in the blank, a form in which “purchase request information” is input using a touch panel or the like may be used.
[0079]
In FIG. 3, “◯” at the left end of the table is clicked, and the identified improved parts are displayed as “●”. In the figure, B is selected. As a result, the improved parts desired by the customer are specified, and purchase request information is created.
[0080]
Further, when it is necessary to specify a customer, the server machine transmits a screen for prompting input of customer information to the customer terminal. The screen is shown in FIG. The customer inputs necessary items for each item. Thereby, customer information is created. Specifically, it is a customer's name and address, and an e-mail address. In addition, when receiving a request for a delivery destination of the produced improved parts, a delivery destination item is provided and entered.
[0081]
If the customer can be identified from the sender information (IP address, etc.) and the already stored customer information etc. in the second and subsequent customers, this customer information creation step is unnecessary, and the customer terminal It is assumed that “customer information” is transmitted in response to the transmission of “purchase request information”. It is also possible to transmit “customer information” by accessing from the customer terminal.
[0082]
Further, in this embodiment, “production schedule information” is included in the part information transmitted from the server machine. This “production schedule information” is information defining a scheduled date on which the production of improved parts is started. In FIG. 3, “production scheduled date” is displayed as the production schedule information. In the customer terminal, the improved parts are displayed in a list in order of earlier production schedule date (production schedule order).
[0083]
In the server machine, whenever a new improved part is added to the part information, the improved part is rearranged in the order of the scheduled production date using the sort function. It will also be rearranged when improved parts are scheduled to be produced soon. Thereby, the customer terminal can display each improved part in the order of production without processing the part information. Further, it is also possible to implement a form in which parts information arranged at random with the scheduled production date is received, and the customer terminal sorts in the order of production and rearranges and lists them.
[0084]
(S4) The customer transmits the “purchase request information” to the producer. At that time, the customer also transmits “customer information”. If the customer can be identified from the transmission history, the customer does not transmit customer information.
[0085]
(S5) This “purchase request information” is transmitted from the customer terminal to the server machine, and the producer stores the “customer information” and the “purchase request information” in association with each other. Specifically, in the server machine, the control unit 21 stores these pieces of information in the storage unit 26 in association with each other. Thereby, the producer can grasp which customer wants which improved part from this information, and can perform efficient sales activities. In addition, the degree of popularity of each improved part can be known, and it can be used as a guide for the quantity to be produced.
[0086]
Further, according to the present invention, the server machine that has received the purchase request information aggregates the purchase request information, calculates how much purchase request information is gathered in which improved parts, and calculates the "popularity" (purchase) of each improved part. The number of desired information) can be calculated. Further, the order of the improved parts list is changed according to the popularity number, and the production start time is appropriately changed. These embodiments will be described later.
[0087]
(Stage 2)
As shown in FIG. 3, a scheduled production date is set for each improved part. Upon reaching this scheduled production date, the producer starts production of the improved part. Then, the improved parts produced are sold. As one embodiment of the present invention, sales promotion using a “back sales site” is performed for a customer who has sent purchase request information in stage 1.
[0088]
(S6) The producer produces an improved part and creates a “back sale site” that encourages the purchase of the improved part. A specific example of this “back sales site” is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, this back sale site informs that the customer has sold the “improved parts B” for which purchase request information has been sent, and “buy” in the upper right column as a means to encourage purchase. By clicking this circle, “purchase information” for applying for the purchase of the improved part B is transmitted from the customer terminal to the server machine.
[0089]
The creation of this “back sales site” is performed in the next step by the back sales site creation program stored in the storage means 24. This program stores the basic format of the back sales site. At the time of creation, the control means 21 extracts the part name and price of the improved part created from the storage means 25. Then, the back sales site is created by incorporating these into the basic form. Then, a back sale site may be created by incorporating information such as the sales deadline by this site and the number of items sold.
[0090]
In FIG. 6, the sales deadline is 2 weeks until the end of April, and the number of sales is displayed. It is desirable that the number of units sold be changed according to the sales of the improved parts and correspond to the actual number of stocks.
[0091]
Further, the server machine creates the URL of this back sale site. In this embodiment, the part name of the improved part is used as a parameter. Specifically, if the main URL of the homepage published by the producer is “http: // fishing shimano.co.jp/”, the URL of the back sales site is set to “http: / / fishing shimano.co.jp / partsB
[0092]
(S7) In accordance with the production of the improved parts, an e-mail including the URL of the “back sales site” is transmitted to the e-mail address of the customer who transmitted the “purchase request information” of the improved parts. In the server machine, the mail addresses of all customers who have sent the purchase request information to the improved parts produced by the control means 21 are extracted from the storage means 26 and temporarily stored. Then, the e-mail including the URL of the back sales site created in (S6) is transmitted to the extracted e-mail address.
[0093]
(S8) The customer accesses the “back sales site” based on the URL. The customer who has received the e-mail clicks the URL displayed on the customer terminal, accesses the producer's server machine, and requests transmission of the back sales site. The form of accessing by clicking the URL can be implemented using a link function used in ordinary mail software.
[0094]
(S9) The producer transmits a “back sales site” to the customer. The server machine that has received the access transmits the back sales site on the Internet by the function as a web server.
[0095]
(S10) The customer displays “back sales site” and transmits “purchase information” of the desired improved parts. The customer terminal of the customer receives the back sales site and displays it (see FIG. 6 for the displayed screen). As a result, the customer can know that the sale of the improved part B that he / she wished to purchase has started, its price, the quantity to be sold, and the like.
When purchasing the improved part B, click “Our purchase”, confirm that fact, click “Apply”, and send “purchase information” telling you to purchase to the server machine.
[0096]
(S11) The producer stores this “purchase information”. In the server machine that has received the purchase information, the control unit 21 specifies a customer from the storage unit 26 based on the information of the transmission destination, and uses it as customer information. Then, this customer information and information (purchase information) that the customer has selected “purchase” are stored in association with each other.
[0097]
In the present invention, the contents of the back sales site are not directly transmitted by e-mail, but the URL is introduced so that customers who are willing to purchase can access the back sales site from this URL. As a result, the producer can not only promote the sales of the improved parts to the visiting customer, but also introduce other information and other sites through this back sale site. Furthermore, the producer can provide a customer who uses this system with a service different from that of a general customer, and the customer satisfaction of these customers can be increased.
[0098]
(S12) The producer delivers the improved parts to the customer by any means based on the “purchase information”. The storage means 26 stores which customer has transmitted purchase information about which improved part. Furthermore, the delivery address of the improved parts such as the customer's address can be specified. Therefore, based on this customer information, the producer delivers the improved parts by any means. In addition, as an arbitrary delivery means, a mail is a parcel delivery service etc., and it can implement in the form which a customer goes to the nearest fishing tackle store. In this case, the delivery destination is stored in advance in the storage means 26 as customer information.
[0099]
5. (Other embodiments)
(1) Swap ranks based on popularity
In principle, the above-described embodiment starts production when the date and time reaches the scheduled production date of each improved part. The production date is determined by the producer in anticipation of the popularity of each improved part. The part information shown in FIG. 3 is a list of improved parts displayed in a higher order, with the earlier ones starting production.
[0100]
However, with regard to improved parts that have become more popular than expected, it is possible to meet the demands of customers who want improved parts as soon as possible by accelerating the production schedule according to the number of popularity. Therefore, the present invention can be implemented in the following form in which the production time is appropriately changed according to the popularity number and the list order of the improved parts is changed.
[0101]
The flow of this implementation will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 shows the flow of processing in the server machine.
(S71) The server machine receives purchase request information about an improved part from the customer terminal. In this embodiment, purchase of the improved part B is desired.
(S <b> 72) The control means 21 extracts the number of popularity of the improved part B to which purchase request information has been sent so far from the storage means 25.
[0102]
(S73) The control means 21 increments the extracted popularity number by one (increment) and stores the value as a new popularity number. In addition, even if it is one purchase request information, if two or more purchases are desired, the popularity number is increased by the number of purchase requests.
[0103]
(S <b> 74) The control unit 21 extracts the popularity number of the improved part of the rank higher than the storage unit 25. Here, the improved part of the higher rank means a part whose production date is earlier than that of the improved part B and that day is closest, and in FIG.
[0104]
(S75) The control means 21 compares the popularity numbers of the improved part B and the improved part A. When the popularity of the improved part B exceeds the popularity of the improved part A, the improved part B is arranged in ascending order (S77). The production date of the improved part B is the production date of the improved part A and is “02 / January”. On the other hand, the improved part A in descending order is “02 / Feb” whose scheduled production date was the scheduled date of the improved part B so far. This makes it possible to appropriately change the scheduled production date according to the popularity of the market, and the producer does not need strict market research as before.
[0105]
(S77) If the popularity number of the improved part B does not exceed the improved part A, the list order remains the same. Whether or not the popularity number has been exceeded can be determined by either determining that the number of lower-order improved parts has been exceeded if both popularity numbers are the same number, or determining that the popularity number has not been exceeded.
[0106]
As described above, the list order of the improved parts in the part information is appropriately changed according to the popularity number. Then, by receiving the changed parts information, the customer terminal displays the improved parts in a list in the order of production that is appropriately changed according to the popularity number.
[0107]
(2) Comparison with the number of production start
Further, if a large number of popular numbers are collected, the production may be started immediately instead of the above-described form for advancing the scheduled production date. This is because an improved part that has gained a large number of popularity is expected to have a certain number of sales, and is therefore unlikely to be in stock. In this embodiment, the part information includes a “production start number” that is a popular number for starting production. The value of the production start number is set by the producer and stored in the storage unit 24.
[0108]
The processing after the server machine receives the purchase request information is substantially the same as the above-described “replacement of ranks based on popularity”.
(S74a) In step 74a, the control means 21 extracts the production start number of improved parts from the storage means 24.
In (S75), the popularity number is compared with the extracted production start number. If the popularity number is exceeded, the process proceeds to step 77a to store “production start” in the part information. Further, the information on the improved parts may be deleted from the part information on the assumption that production has started. Thereafter, the customer terminal that accesses the part information displays a message indicating that the production of the improved parts exceeding the production start number is started.
[0109]
(Subsequent steps) If the popularity of a certain improved part exceeds the production start number, the producer starts production ahead of schedule and delivers the improved part to this customer by any means after production. And sell. It is also possible to confirm whether or not to purchase by sending an e-mail including the URL of the above-mentioned back sale site to the customer who sent the purchase request information to the improved parts.
[0110]
(3) Sorting by number of levels
Moreover, in this invention, it is possible to implement using "number of levels" as an embodiment that accelerates the production schedule of popular improved parts as appropriate.
[0111]
Here, the “number of levels” and the “number of production start” are both values indicating the degree of popularity that is a measure of the start of production. However, they differ in that the number of levels is a measure for advancing the production date, whereas the number of production starts is a measure for starting production immediately if this number is exceeded.
[0112]
The “number of levels” and “number of production start” may be determined individually for each improved part, or may be determined uniformly for all the improved parts.
[0113]
Examples of “number of levels” and “number of production start” will be described with reference to FIG.
In the improved part A, the “number of levels” is set to 50, and the “production start number” is set to 100. Therefore, when the popularity number exceeds 50, the scheduled production date is advanced, and when the popularity number exceeds 100, the production starts earlier than “02 / January” which is the scheduled production date.
In the improved part B, the “number of levels” is set to 400/600. As described above, a plurality of levels may be set for one improved part. Then, by exceeding the number of levels, the production time may be advanced every month, or the production date of the previous improved part may be replaced. In the case of FIG. 3, when the popularity number of the improved part C exceeds the number of levels, the improved part B and its order are switched.
In the improved part C, the “number of levels” is set to 50%, and the “production start number” is set to 500. Thus, the number of levels may be determined by “% display” of the production start number. In FIG. 3, 250, which is 50% of the production start number 500, is a popular number for exceeding the number of levels. In principle, the number of levels and the number of production starts can be implemented independently. However, in the embodiment of the number of “% display” level described in the previous improved part C, both must be used.
[0114]
A process for appropriately changing the list order of the improved parts using the “number of levels” and the “number of production starts” will be described with reference to FIG.
(S81) The server machine receives and stores purchase request information from the customer terminal.
(S82) The step of calculating the popularity number is the same processing as (S71) to (S73) described above, and increases the popularity number of the improved parts to which purchase request information has arrived.
(S83) The control means 21 extracts the “production start number” and “level number” of this improved part from the storage means 25 and stores them.
(S84) The control means 21 compares the calculated popularity number with the production start number, and determines whether the popularity number exceeds the production start number.
(S85) If it exceeds, the fact that production is started is stored in the parts information, as in (S77a). Further, the control means 21 creates a back sales site for the improved parts (S6). Thereafter, the process proceeds to the process using the back sales site (S7).
(S86) On the other hand, if the popularity number does not exceed the production start number, the control means 21 compares the popularity number with the level number, and determines whether the popularity number exceeds the level number.
(S87) If it exceeds, improve the rank of the improved part. As the form, the order is replaced with the improved parts in the list. It can also be implemented in a form in which the scheduled production start date is advanced by one month.
(S88) If the popularity number does not exceed the level number, the list is not rearranged, and the process ends.
[0115]
(Other steps)
When a plurality of level numbers are stored in one improved part, the server machine performs processing for the following. Here, the case where a plurality of level numbers are stored in one improved part means a case where two level numbers of 400 and 600 are set as in the improved part B in FIG. Improved part D).
[0116]
Therefore, a process when a plurality of levels are stored will be described.
(1) When reading the number of levels, the control means 21 always reads a small number of bells.
(2) Compare with the popularity number, and erase the number of levels exceeding the popularity number.
(3) By erasing the number of levels that have been exceeded, the number of levels read thereafter becomes the second smallest number of levels. By performing this process, the server machine can perform the above-described rank-up process of improved parts even when a plurality of levels are stored.
[0117]
(4) Publication of back sales site
As already explained, if the back sale site cannot be sold out, this back sale site is announced on the Internet. Here, “publishing on the Internet” means registering a search keyword in each search site so as to hit a search in each search site.
[0118]
This announcement is made after a certain period of time after posting on the Internet at the back sales site, and this period may be determined appropriately depending on the sales of improved parts. In addition, even if the back sales site continues too much, it will be registered in the search site of the so-called “robot search method”. desirable.
[0119]
The posting on the Internet means that the customer can access the server machine via the Internet and read the back sales site. Moreover, as a form published on the Internet, a form in which a link to this back sale site is pasted on the site of the main URL described above can also be implemented.
[0120]
(5) (Purchase method selection)
In the present invention, as described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the customer who sees the part information specifies an improved part desired to be purchased and transmits it to the server machine as purchase request information. In this case, in order to examine the degree of customer's willingness to purchase, in the present invention, as "means for prompting the user to input purchase request information", the purchase selection means of "absolute purchase" and "purchase hope" are provided. Can do.
[0121]
This purchase selection means is shown in FIG. As shown in the center of FIG. 3, two blocks “absolute purchase” and “purchase purchase” are provided in the center of the display screen displaying the part information. This block allows you to select the purchase method by clicking on it. A program that enables the selection of the purchase method described above is incorporated in the parts information.
[0122]
The server machine prompts the customer to select a purchase method using the screen shown in FIG. When the customer selects the purchase method, the purchase method is received together with the purchase request information, and the control unit 21 stores both in the storage unit 26 in association with each other.
{Circle around (1)} In this embodiment, customers who have selected “absolute purchase” have a strong willingness to purchase and do not need to introduce a back sales site. Therefore, when improved parts are produced and sales are started (it can be performed even before sales), the improved parts are delivered (to S12 shown in FIG. 4).
(2) On the other hand, customers who have selected “Purchase Desire” have a low willingness to purchase. For such customers, it is necessary to confirm whether or not to purchase in addition to appealing products using a back sale site. . Therefore, the server machine sends an e-mail including the URL of the “back sale site” to the e-mail address of the customer in accordance with the production of the improved parts (including when the sales schedule is determined) (FIG. 4). To S7). The subsequent processing is as shown in FIG.
[0123]
(6) Desired parts
(6-1)
Further, the present invention can also be implemented in a form in which a request regarding an improved part desired by a customer is received and included in the part information as one of the improved parts. The embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0124]
As shown in FIG. 3, the server machine provides a column of “input desired part information” in the part information and prompts the customer to input “desired part information”. In FIG. 3, the user is prompted to input items of “desired parts (name)” and “its description”. The customer who wants to enter the name and description according to this field. Here, examples of the desired parts include the following.
(1) As for the structure, “XX part is a titanium finished XX part”
(2) As for materials, “Stainless steel XX parts”
(3) As for functions, “Durability may be reduced, so XX parts with weight less than XXg”
In addition, if the customer wants a price or a desired production (sale) date, they are prompted to enter them. The customer transmits the desired part information from the customer terminal to the server machine. In the server machine, the control means 21 stores this desired part information in the storage means 25. The stored configuration is the same as that of the improved parts.
[0125]
Then, the producer inputs the number of levels set for the improved part and the number of production start using the input means 22 of the server machine in the desired part information. Also, if the price entered by the customer or the scheduled production date is inappropriate, it is rewritten. As a result of the above processing, the desired parts are added to the list of improved parts in the same manner as the improved parts.
[0126]
Thereafter, when there is an access from the customer, the server machine displays the desired part information together with the part information on the customer terminal, and prompts the user to input the desired purchase information of the desired part as with the improved parts.
[0127]
(6-2) Price fluctuation
Further, in the embodiment using this “desired part information”, the server machine has means for storing the “popularity number” of the desired part based on the “purchase desired information” sent from the customer terminal. According to the “popularity” of the desired part, the price of the desired part can be appropriately changed, and the price after the change can be displayed on the customer terminal.
[0128]
Here, the means for storing the “popular number” of the desired part is the same as the means for storing the popular number of the improved parts described so far, and when the control means 21 receives the purchase request information, this means This can be implemented by means of incrementing the popularity number of the improved parts specified by the purchase request information.
[0129]
Next, the means for appropriately changing the price of the desired part according to the stored “popularity” of the desired part refers to a means for executing the processing performed by the server machine shown in FIG.
[0130]
In this embodiment, the desired parts information described in (6-1) is already transmitted to the server machine and stored in the storage unit 25.
(S91) The server machine receives purchase request information. This purchase request information relates to the desired part.
(S92) The control means 21 extracts the popularity number, price, and level number of the desired part specified by the purchase wish information from the storage means 25.
(S93) The control means 21 increments the popularity number by one and stores it.
(S94) The control unit 21 compares the incremented popularity number with the extracted level number. Judge whether the number of popularity exceeds the number of levels.
(S95) When the popularity number exceeds the number of levels, the desired part is popular, and a price discount is performed because a certain level of demand can be expected.
[0131]
There are the following types of discounts.
(1) A uniform discount rate is set for all desired parts. In addition, a uniform discount amount is set.
{Circle over (2)} A discount rate (discount amount) is determined for each desired part when the number of levels is exceeded, and the discount is made accordingly.
(3) When a plurality of levels are set for a desired part, a certain discount is given each time the number of levels is exceeded. For example, every time the popularity number exceeds 100, the price is discounted by 10%. In this embodiment, a plurality of levels are set in the desired parts information, and a price discount is provided each time the popularity number exceeds the number of levels.
[0132]
In this discount step 95, the processing means 21 deletes the discount rate (discount amount) from the price, and stores the deleted (after fluctuation) price in the storage means 25 as a new price.
[0133]
Then, when the parts information is transmitted to the customer terminal next time, the parts information including the price after the deletion (after the change) is transmitted and displayed on the customer terminal.
(S96) If the popularity number does not exceed the level number, the process is terminated without discounting the price.
