Description

  The present invention relates to a bidding terminal and a bidding system, and more particularly, to a bidding terminal for bidding by a bidding party in a bidding transaction with an exhibitor and a plurality of bidding parties, and a bidding system including such a bidding terminal.

  In general, auction (auction) is a method in which consideration paid for goods and the like is made to compete with each other among purchase applicants (bidders) and sold at the most advantageous price for the seller.

  This trade is carried out in markets such as livestock, fresh flowers, and used cars (used cars). At present, this transaction is automated and introduced into each market as a “seri system” (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

Taking a used car as an example of a transaction object, an example of a slip system performed by a slip control device and a slip transaction will be described below.
First, the exhibitor sets the successful bid price for selling a used car and the accepted price at the start of the slip transaction in the slip control device before the start of the slip transaction.

  Then, the transaction is started by the user. Then, the slide control device displays the received price of the used car on the large display device in the venue, each inquiry terminal of the bidder, and the like. The bidder makes a bid with reference to the received price. Here, the reception price is a reference price when the bidder bids, and is set higher than the current highest bid price, and increases according to the bidding situation and a predetermined time. Therefore, by making the bidder visually recognize the received price, there is an effect of prompting the bidder to actively bid.

  The bidder who bids at the highest bid price that exceeds the seller's desired bid price can make a successful bid for the used car. On the other hand, if the highest bidding price does not exceed the desired bid price of the store, the transaction will flow.

In such a bargain system, a successful bid or flow is determined within minutes to tens of minutes after the start of bargaining. For this reason, an exhibit is divided into a plurality of lanes, and the stakes are simultaneously traded for each lane, so that many exhibits can be traded in a short time.

However, there are the following problems when performing a plurality of transaction transactions at the same time in the above system.
If a bid transaction is determined for each lane at the same time after the start of the bidding, there is a risk that the bidder may miss the bid transaction for which he wishes to bid. For example, suppose that a bidder trades for a used car desired by a bidder is performed in the A lane, and the bidder browses other lanes until the start of the trade. In this case, the bidder may miss his participation in the transaction.

  Also, because there are multiple lanes, bidders may accidentally bid for unsolicited transactions. For example, if the same color as the used car desired by the bidder is traded in other lanes, there is a risk that the bid will be made by mistake.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a bidder system that can bid correctly for a bid transaction desired by a bidder, and a bidder terminal used by a bidder in such a bidder system. Objective.

  In the above-mentioned bidding terminal and the bidding system to which such bidding terminal is connected, it is possible to bid accurately for bidding desired by the bidding party.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the outline of the present embodiment.
The bid response terminal 1 is connected to a call control device (not shown) that controls the entire call transaction, and the function of displaying the status of the call, etc. performed by the call control device, or the input function of the bid, for example, is a touch panel. This is realized by an expression input display unit (not shown).

  Such a bidding terminal 1 includes a bidding schedule information holding unit 2, a designated bidding schedule information holding unit 3, a bilingual information receiving unit 4, an input receiving unit 5, a bidding control unit 6, a display processing unit 7, and a warning notification unit 8. Have.

  The schedule schedule information holding unit 2 stores a schedule schedule. In the schedule table, the item identification information is assigned to the item to be traded, and the item identification information is stored for each of a plurality of groups (hereinafter, each group is referred to as a lane). For example, this is a table in which a sari number is assigned to a used car to be traded, and the sari number is arranged in the order of execution of the sash for each lane.

  The designated schedule information holding unit 3 stores a designated schedule table. The designated schedule is a table in which a desired bid is designated by the bidder from the above schedule, and the identification information of the designated series is arranged for each lane in the order of execution of the trade.

  The message information receiving unit 4 has the group identification information of the group to which the message belongs, the item identification information of the message, and the received price of the message for the message displayed on the input display unit of the message answering terminal 1. Each is received from the control device. The accepted price is accepted every time it is updated by the control device. The reception price is a reference price when the bidder bids as described above, and is set higher than the current highest bid price, and increases according to the bidding situation and a predetermined time. Therefore, by making the bidder visually recognize the received price, there is an effect of prompting the bidder to actively bid.

  The input accepting unit 5 accepts the bidding price of the bidding by the operation input performed by the bidder on the input display unit of the bidding terminal 1. The input display unit displays in response to a display request from the display processing unit 7 (described later).

The bidding control unit 6 transmits a received price display request to the display processing unit 7 every time the received price is acquired from the slide information receiving unit 4.
Furthermore, when the bidding control unit 6 obtains the bidding price from the input receiving unit 5, the bidding price is similarly stored in the group of the group identification information acquired by the sliding information receiving unit 4 in the designated scheduling table of the designated scheduling information holding unit 3. The presence / absence of the acquired item identification information is determined. If there is no exhibit identification information, the warning notification unit 8 is notified that the group is different.

  The display processing unit 7 causes the input display unit to display information on the exhibit, the accepted price, the current state of the selection, and the like on the input display unit based on the display request from the bid control unit 6, the warning notification unit 8, and the slide control device. .

When the bidding control unit 6 is notified that the group is different, the warning notification unit 8 issues an alarm or transmits a warning output request indicating that the group is different to the display processing unit 7.
A plurality of the bid answering terminals 1 are connected to the talk control device, and a talk transaction is executed for each of a plurality of groups based on a schedule schedule obtained in advance.

  In a bargain transaction by the barriage control device, first, the reception price is displayed on each bargaining terminal 1. Each bidder makes a bid if he / she decides to make a successful bid at the displayed reception price. As the acceptance price increases, the number of bidders for the acceptance price decreases, and the final remaining bidder is set as the winning bidder.

Next, an outline of the operation of the bid response terminal 1 having such a configuration will be described.
First, the schedule table is stored in the schedule information holding unit 2 and the designated schedule table is stored in the designated schedule information holding unit 3, respectively. In addition, based on the bidder's operation input, the slip schedule table may be acquired from the slip control device by the slip information receiving unit 4 and stored in the plan schedule information holding unit 2. Further, similarly, based on the bidder's operation input, a designated schedule may be created by designating a desired schedule from the stored schedule.

  The display processing unit 7 causes the input display unit to display the bidding price being performed in an arbitrary group based on the display request from the slide control device. In addition, for the bid price displayed on the input display unit, the call information receiving unit 4 receives the group identification information of an arbitrary group to which the call belongs, the exhibit identification information of the call, and the received price of the call. The acceptance price is accepted every time it is updated.

Thereafter, the bidder can freely bid for the bid price displayed on the input display section.
The bidder performs operation input on the input display section and bids. The input accepting unit 5 accepts a bid request by a bid from a bidder. The bidding control unit 6 transmits the bidding request received by the input receiving unit 5, the price, and the ID for identifying the bidder to the control device.

Further, the bidding control unit 6 determines the presence or absence of the exhibit identification information for which the bidding request has been received in the group identification information group received by the slide information receiving unit 4 of the designated schedule.
If there is no serial number, the bidding control unit 6 notifies the warning notification unit 8 that the group is different. In response to the notification, the warning notification unit 8 generates an alarm or transmits a warning output request indicating that the group is different to the display processing unit 7.

The bidder is alerted by this warning, performs an operation input to the input display unit, switches the group, and displays the group to which the desired bank transaction belongs.
The bidder can then bid for the desired transaction.

  As described above, when the group for which the bid transaction desired by the bidder is not performed is displayed, the bid bidding terminal outputs a warning that the group is different. For this reason, it is possible to alert the bidder to the error of the bidder group, and the bidder can bid correctly for the desired transaction.

Next, a description will be given more specifically of the sliding system using the above-mentioned bid response terminal. In the present embodiment, the outline will be described more specifically with the exhibit as a used car.

Next, the functions of the barge control device 100 and the barge bid terminal 52 of the barge system 50 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing functions of the sliding system according to the present embodiment.

  First, the slip control device 100 includes a slip information transfer unit 101, a price receiving unit 102, an input receiving unit 103, a slip control unit 104, an exhibitor side display processing unit 105, and a bidder side display processing unit 106. Note that these functions are realized, for example, by a predetermined program being executed by the CPU 100a of the slide control device 100. In addition, the slip control device 100 can simultaneously execute a slip transaction for each lane of the slip schedule.

  The line information transfer unit 101 is connected to the line information receiving unit 52c of the line bid terminal 52. The schedule table held by the server 54 is transferred to the bid terminal 52. The schedule table is a table in which transaction transactions are arranged in a plurality of lanes. In the control apparatus 100, the transaction is sequentially executed for each lane based on the schedule table. The information transfer unit 101 transmits to the information receiving unit 52c the lane number to which the bargain transaction belongs, the bargain number of the bargain transaction, and the reception price of the bargain transaction regarding the bargain transaction displayed on the barge terminal 52. . The received price is transferred every time it is updated. In addition, the bid information transfer unit 101 transmits a plurality of higher bid prices and IDs for identifying bidders who bid on these higher bid prices to the bid information reception unit 52c.

  The price receiving unit 102 is connected to the operation input detecting unit 51 a of the exhibitor side terminal 51. The seri- er performs an operation input for specifying an accepted price at the start of the sledge transaction and other necessary initial settings to the operation input detection unit 51a of the seller-side terminal 51. Information based on the operation input is received by the price receiving unit 102 of the slide control device 100.

  The exhibitor side terminal 51 includes an operation input detection unit 51a and a graph display processing unit 51b. The operation input detection unit 51a detects position information corresponding to an operation input for designating a selling price or the like with respect to the input display unit 510 of the exhibitor side terminal 51. Further, the detected information is transmitted to the control apparatus 100. The graph display processing unit 51b displays a graph of the bidding price transition according to the elapsed time from the start of the bargain transaction based on a display request from the seller side display processing unit 105 (described later).

  The input reception unit 103 is connected to the bidding control unit 52e of the bidding terminal 52. The bidder enters the bidding price into the bidding terminal 52 and bids the used car. The bid price received by the input detection unit 52d of the bid response terminal 52 is received by the input reception unit 103 when transmitted to the slide control device 100. When the bidder performs a switching operation on the lane changeover switch displayed on the input display unit 520 of the bidder terminal 52, a request to switch the display lane is transmitted to the drag control device 100, and the input receiving unit 103.

  The slip control unit 104 is connected to the slip information transfer unit 101, the price receiving unit 102, the input receiving unit 103, the exhibitor side display processing unit 105, and the bidder side display processing unit 106.

  Further, the talk control unit 104 causes the schedule information transfer unit 101 to transmit to the bid response terminal 52 the schedule table which received the information of the used car to be traded from the server 54 before the start of the deal transaction. When the sledge transaction is started, information on the used car of the sledge transaction being performed in the lane displayed on each stake bid terminal 52 is displayed from the bidder side display processing unit 106 for each stake bid terminal 52. The received price is updated each time a predetermined time elapses, and a display request for the updated received price is transmitted to the bidder-side display processing unit 106 and the exhibitor-side display processing unit 105. The bidder-side display processing unit 106 and the exhibitor-side display processing unit 105 transmit a reception price display request to the bidding terminal 52 and the exhibitor-side terminal 51. At the same time, the lane number to which the bargain transaction belongs, the barge number of the bargain transaction, and the acceptance price of the barge transaction are transmitted from the barge information transfer unit 101 to the barriage information reception unit 52c. To do. Further, based on the lane switching request received by the input receiving unit 103, a lane display request is transmitted to the bidder-side display processing unit 106. Also, the received price received by the price receiving unit 102 is transmitted to the bidder-side display processing unit 106, and the bidder-side display processing unit 106 transmits a request for displaying the received price to the bidder terminal 52.

  When the seller-side display processing unit 105 accepts the display request of the received price and the bid price from the control unit 104, the seller-side display processing unit 105 generates, for example, a graph based on these price information, and displays information such as the generated graph on the seller side. It transmits to the terminal 51 and requests display. On the input display unit 510 of the seller side terminal 51, the bid price and the received price are displayed as display information such as a graph as needed based on the display request by the seller side display processing unit 105.

  The bidder-side display processing unit 106 transmits the used car information received from the server 54 to the display processing unit 52f. In addition, a request to display the received price is transmitted to the display processing unit 52f as needed. Furthermore, based on the bidder's operation input, a display request for the schedule table is output to the display processing unit 52f. The bidder-side display processing unit 106 converts the price information into, for example, data in a format that can be recognized by the display processing unit 52f of the bidding terminal 52 for display. The input display unit 520 of the bidding terminal 52 connected to the bidder-side display processing unit 106 displays the received price as needed according to the display request. Similarly, the bidder-side display processing unit 106 also displays the received price as needed on the large display device 53 (not shown in FIG. 3). The bidder-side display processing unit 106 may be configured to generate the screen itself to be displayed on the bidder terminal 52 and output it to the bidder terminal 52.

Next, the bid response terminal 52 will be described.
The bid bidding terminal 52 is installed in each bidder. The bid response terminal 52 basically has a hardware configuration similar to that of the slide control device 100, displays an image in accordance with a request from the slide control device 100, and inputs an operation input of information to be transmitted to the slide control device 100. Accept. In the present embodiment, such functions for display and operation input are realized as an input display unit 520 which is a so-called touch panel or a push button switch.

  In addition, the bid response terminal 52 includes a slide schedule information holding unit 52a, a designated schedule information holding unit 52b, a slide information receiving unit 52c, an input detection unit 52d, a bid control unit 52e, and a display processing unit 52f.

  The slip schedule information holding unit 52a holds a slip schedule. The schedule table is a table in which a serial number is assigned to a used car subject to a serial transaction, and the serial numbers are arranged in order of execution for each of a plurality of lanes.

  The designated schedule information holding unit 52b holds a designated schedule table. The designated schedule is a table in which a bid transaction that a bidder desires to bid is designated from the above-mentioned scheduled schedule, and the designated bid numbers are arranged in order of execution for each lane.

  The slip information receiving unit 52c receives the slip schedule from the slip information transfer unit 101, and stores the received slip schedule in the slip schedule information holding unit 52a. In addition, with respect to a slip transaction in which a display processing unit 52f described later is displayed, the slip information receiving unit 52c receives a lane number to which the slip transaction belongs, a serial number of the slip transaction, and a reception price of the slip transaction. The acceptance price is accepted every time it is updated.

  The input detection unit 52d receives an operation input performed by the bidder on the input display unit 520. The bidder makes a bid for the displayed transaction by operating the input display unit 520. In this case, the input detection unit 52d receives the bid price of the bid. In addition, the bidder designates the transaction by operating the input display unit 520 for the displayed schedule table, and the specified schedule table is created. In this case, the input detection unit 52d accepts the designated transaction.

  The bid control unit 52e is connected to the scheduled schedule information holding unit 52a, the designated scheduled information holding unit 52b, the scheduled information receiving unit 52c, the input detecting unit 52d, and the display processing unit 52f. Then, the operation of each component is controlled.

  Further, the bidding control unit 52e transmits the received price received by the slip information receiving unit 52c and the display request for the schedule table stored in the schedule information holding unit 52a to the display processing unit 52f. In addition, the bid control unit 52e stores the transaction specified in the schedule table received by the input detection unit 52d in the specified schedule information holding unit 52b. The bid control unit 52e transmits the bid price accepted by the input detection unit 52d to the control device 100.

  Further, the bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not there is a received serial number in the same manner as the lane number received by the serial information receiving unit 52c in the designated schedule table of the designated schedule information holding unit 52b. If there is no serial number, a warning output request indicating that the lane is different is transmitted to the display processing unit 52f.

  Based on the display request from the bid control unit 52e and the bidder-side display processing unit 106, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display a schedule table, information on used cars, an accepted price, and the like. Further, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to output a warning based on the warning output request from the bid control unit 52e.

Next, the process performed in the bid response terminal 52 having such a configuration will be described using a flowchart.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the bidding terminal according to the first embodiment.

For example, the transaction is started by the user who operates the adjuster adjustment console 55, but the following preparation is performed until the start of the transaction.
First, the server 54 stores in advance a photographic image of a used car that is the subject of a bargain transaction, and exhibition information such as vehicle information and exhibition slip data.

  The exhibitor preliminarily sets the successful bid price, which is the planned sale price of the target used car, and the accepted price at the start of the slip transaction in the slip control device 100 through the exhibitor side terminal 51. Then, the control unit 104 causes the server 54 to output, for each lane, the photographic image and the exhibition information of the used car that is the subject of the sledge transaction to be started, and displays the photographic image and the exhibition information. Let me.

  Further, the talk control unit 104 also outputs the desired bid price and the accepted price at the start of the talk transaction to the seller-side display processing unit 105 to request display on the seller-side terminal 51. The exhibitor-side display processing unit 105 creates a graph showing the desired bid price and the accepted price, and outputs the graph to the exhibitor-side terminal 51 for display.

The above preparation is performed, and then, the transaction is performed for each lane by the transmission control device 100.
When a bidder newly participates in a bid transaction while a bid transaction is being performed, the following processing is performed at the bid response terminal 52.

  [Step S11] After the power to the bid bidding terminal 52 is turned on, the bidder inputs a “purchaser ID” for identifying the bidder by operating the input display unit 520. The input store ID is received by the input detection unit 52d.

  The slip information receiving unit 52c stores the slip schedule received from the slip control device 100 in the slip schedule information holding unit 52a. The bid control unit 52e outputs a display request for the schedule table stored in the schedule information holding unit 52a to the display processing unit 52f. The display processing unit 52 f displays the schedule table on the input display unit 520.

  The bidder designates the desired bid transaction from the displayed schedule schedule via the input display unit 520. The bid control unit 52e creates a designated schedule by arranging the designated transaction for each lane in the order of execution. The created designated schedule table is stored in the designated schedule information holding unit 52b.

  Further, when the transaction is performed in each of the four lanes (lanes A, B, C, and D), the lane number parameter N is set to the A lane. The parameter N in the initial setting may be another lane.

Thus, the initial setting is completed.
[Step S12] The bidding control unit 52e acquires the parameter N of the lane number based on the bidder's lane switching operation input received by the input detection unit 52d or when the lane is automatically switched. The acquired parameter N is set to a parameter CUR_LANE that is displayed on the input display unit 520.

  [Step S13] The bid control unit 52e outputs to the display processing unit 52f a display request for the used car information that is the subject of the transaction with the acquired lane number. Specifically, the display processing unit 52f outputs a display request for used car information to be traded in the lane corresponding to the lane number set in CUR_LANE. The display processing unit 52f displays used car information on the input display unit 520 based on the display request. The used car information includes a serial number, a photograph image, vehicle information, exhibition slip data, and the like.

  [Step S14] The bidding control unit 52e acquires the bidding price of the bidding by the bidder's operation input received by the input detection unit 52d. In the case where a bid transaction for a bidder is performed in a lane different from the displayed lane, the bid control unit 52e outputs a warning output request indicating that the lane is different to the display processing unit 52f. The display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to output a warning in response to the output request.

  Further, the bid control unit 52e sends a display request for a lane in which a desired transaction is performed to the display processing unit 52f in response to a lane switching operation input by the bidder who is alerted by the warning displayed on the input display unit 520. Send. In response to the display request, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display a lane in which a desired transaction is performed. When the input detection unit 52d receives a bidder's lane switching operation input, the SW_ON flag value is set to 1.

The bidder makes a bid for the bid transaction that is performed in the displayed lane, and the bid transaction is completed as a successful bid or a flow.
[Step S15] The bid control unit 52e refers to the designated schedule, and identifies the designated number to be executed next to the designated number transaction completed in step S14. In the case where the specified designated transaction is not performed in the displayed lane, it is automatically switched to the lane in which the designated transaction is performed. When the input detection unit 52d receives a bidder's lane switching operation input, the SW_ON flag value is set to 1.

  [Step S16] The bid control unit 52e refers to the designated schedule, and determines whether or not the designated transaction remains. The next process proceeds to step S17 if the designated transaction remains, and if not, the process ends.

  [Step S17] The bid control unit 52e determines whether or not the SW_ON flag value 1 is present. The next process proceeds to step S12 if the flag value 1 is present, and proceeds to step S13 if the flag value 1 is absent.

Next, the bidding process in step S14 performed by the bidding control unit 52e will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a bidding process procedure.
[Step S141] When the bidding control unit 52e acquires the bidding request by the bidding by the bidder accepted by the input detection unit 52d, the next process proceeds to step S142. When finished, the process proceeds to step S15.

[Step S142] The bidding control unit 52e transmits the bidding request acquired in step S141 to the input receiving unit 103 of the control device 100.
[Step S143] The bidding control unit 52e waits for reception of an ACK indicating that the bidding request has been correctly received from the slide control device 100. In the next process, when the bid control unit 52e receives ACK, the process proceeds to step S144, and when it does not receive, the process proceeds to step S14a.

  [Step S144] If the bidder does not have a bid transaction that the bidder wishes to bid in the displayed lane, the bid control unit 52e transmits a warning output request that the lane is different to the display processing unit 52f. Details of the process in step S144 will be described later.

  [Step S145] The bid control unit 52e displays a warning output request indicating that the vehicle type is different when the vehicle type of the used car currently being traded in the displayed lane is not the vehicle type desired by the bidder. To the unit 52f. Details of the process in step S145 will be described later.

  [Step S146] When the bidding control unit 52e bids by the bidder, the display processing unit 52f outputs a warning request that the bidding time is before or after the start of the stale transaction performed in the displayed lane. Send to. Details of the process in step S146 will be described later.

  [Step S147] When the input detection unit 52d receives a bid request from the bidder, the bid control unit 52e exceeds the maximum number of bids that have been set in advance. A warning display request to do so is transmitted to the display processing unit 52f. Details of the process in step S147 will be described later.

[Step S148] The bid control unit 52e switches lanes in response to an operation input for switching lanes by a bidder accepted by the input detection unit 52d.
[Step S149] The bid control unit 52e accepts bids from bidders and makes a bid transaction. Details of the process in step S148 will be described later.

[Step S14a] The bid control unit 52e creates an error log when no ACK is received from the slide control device 100.
[Step S14b] When the bidding control unit 52e exceeds the preset number of times of bidding request transmission to the sag control device 100, the bidding control unit 52e ends the warning output process and there is an abnormality in communication with the sag control device. Raise an alarm. If not, the process proceeds to step S142.

Each process of steps S144 to S149 performed in the bidding process will be described.
First, the lane difference warning output process in step S144 will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of lane difference warning output.
[Step S144a] The bid control unit 52e refers to the designated schedule table stored in the designated schedule information holding unit 52b.

  [Step S144b] The bidding control unit 52e similarly determines the presence or absence of the serial number acquired in Step S13 in the lane of the lane number acquired in Step S13 in the designated schedule table. The next process proceeds to step S144c if there is no serial number, and if there is a serial number, the process ends and proceeds to step S145.

  [Step S144c] The bidding control unit 52e transmits a warning output request indicating that the lane is different to the display processing unit 52f. When the display processing unit 52f receives the output request, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display, for example, “the lanes are different” or display and audio output.

Next, the vehicle type warning output process in step S145 will be described.
In pre-sale transactions, when only selling a specific vehicle type, the bidder wishes to make a successful bid for, for example, only a light vehicle, regardless of the manufacturer or state of the used vehicle. In other words, even if the used car that is the target of the displayed lane is not the desired used car, the bidder will bid for the selected trade if the car type is desired. In the vehicle type difference warning, if the vehicle type is different in such a case, a vehicle type warning is output. Therefore, the bidder can cancel this process by initial setting or the like if he / she does not want to output the vehicle type difference warning.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure for outputting a different vehicle type warning.
[Step S145a] The bid control unit 52e acquires the displayed vehicle type information of the used car subject to the transaction from the command information receiving unit 52c. In this case, in step S13, the vehicle type information is received together with the lane number and the like. In addition, in the designated schedule table, each model number includes vehicle type information.

  [Step S145b] The bid control unit 52e determines whether or not the vehicle type information acquired in Step S145a is present in the lanes of all lane numbers in the designated schedule table. If there is no vehicle type information, the next process proceeds to step S145c. If there is no vehicle type information, the process ends and proceeds to step S146.

  [Step S145c] The bid control unit 52e transmits a warning output request indicating that the vehicle type is different to the display processing unit 52f. When the display processing unit 52f receives the output request, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display, for example, “the vehicle type is different” or display and audio output.

It is possible to inform the bidder of the difference in the car type of the bid transaction by the above flow.
Next, the timing warning output process in step S146 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of timing warning output.
[Step S146a] When the bidding control unit 52e acquires the bidding request accepted by the input detection unit 52d, the bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not the displayed transaction is in progress. The next process proceeds to step S146b if no transaction is in progress, and if it is in progress, the process ends and proceeds to step S147.

  [Step S146b] When the bidding control unit 52e acquires a bidding request, the bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not the bid transaction is before the start. The next process proceeds to step S146e if the transaction is not started, and proceeds to step S146c if the transaction is not started.

  [Step S146c] When the bidding control unit 52e acquires the bidding request, if the displayed transaction is completed as a successful bid or a flow, the next process proceeds to step S146e and must be completed. If so, the process proceeds to step S146d.

  [Step S146d] When the bidding control unit 52e obtains the bidding request, the next process proceeds to step S146e when all transaction transactions are completed, and ends when the bidding transaction is not completed. Then, the process proceeds to step S147.

  [Step S146e] The bidding control unit 52e transmits a warning output request that the bidding time is inappropriate to the display processing unit 52f. Note that the output of the warning is “Before the start of bargaining” after step S146b, “End of bargaining” after step S146c, and “No bargaining after step S146d”. It is also possible to set the output contents according to the bidding time.

  According to the above flow, for example, a bid is made by looking at a lane with the large display device 53 and actually selecting a different lane at the bidding terminal 52, and so on. It is possible to inform the bidder of the time.

Next, the process of outputting a warning of exceeding the number in step S147 will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for outputting the excess number warning.
[Step S147a] The bidding control unit 52e determines in advance whether or not the maximum number of successful bids (M) is set. If the next process is set, the process proceeds to step S147b. If there is no setting, the process ends, and the process proceeds to step S148.

  The maximum number of successful bids is the upper limit number of used cars for which bidders make a successful bid, and can be set at the bidder's request in step S11. Further, the set maximum successful bid number is held in the designated schedule information holding unit 52b by the bid control unit 52e, for example. The maximum number of successful bids is represented by M.

[Step S147b] The bid control unit 52e acquires preset maximum successful bid number (M) information.
[Step S147c] The bidding control unit 52e acquires the current successful bid number (CM) information. The bidding control unit 52e counts the number of successful bids every time it makes a successful bid in a bid transaction.

  [Step S147d] The bid control unit 52e compares the maximum number of successful bids (M) with the current number of successful bids (CM), and determines whether or not the current number of successful bids is smaller than the maximum number of successful bids. If not, that is, if the current number of successful bids is greater than or equal to the maximum number of successful bids (M ≦ CM), the next process proceeds to step S147e. If the number is small (M> CM), the process ends, and the process proceeds to step S148.

  [Step S147e] The bid control unit 52e transmits a warning output request to the display processing unit 52f that the current number of successful bids has reached the maximum number of successful bids. When the display processing unit 52f receives the output request, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display, for example, “the maximum number of successful bids has been reached” or to display and output audio.

If the bid transaction for bidding according to the above flow is successful, the bidder can be notified that the maximum number of successful bids will be exceeded.
Next, the lane switching process in step S148 performed by the bid control unit 52e will be described. In the following, description will be given by taking as an example a case where a transaction is performed in four lanes (A, B, C, and D lanes).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure for lane switching.
[Step S148a] The bid control unit 52e obtains the parameter N by the input detection unit 52d based on the operation input of the lane switch via the input display unit 520 by the bidder.

  [Step S148b] If the parameter N acquired from the input detection unit 52d is the A lane, the bidding control unit 52e proceeds to step S148c, and if not the A lane, proceeds to step S148d.

[Step S148c] The bid control unit 52e sends a request to display the A lane to the control device 100.
When the display control device 100 receives the display request, the display control device 100 transmits to the display processing unit 52f the display request for the lane for which the display request has been made, the transaction for the lane transaction and the received price, and the display information reception unit. 52c transmits the lane number of the lane, the serial number of the transaction being conducted in the lane, and the acceptance price of the transaction. The display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display the received lane, bank transaction, and receipt number.

  [Step S148d] If the parameter N acquired from the input detection unit 52d is the B lane, the bidding control unit 52e proceeds to step S148e, and if not the B lane, proceeds to step S148f.

[Step S148e] The bid control unit 52e sends a request to display the B lane to the control device 100.
As described above, the slide control device 100 transmits information related to a lane or the like for which a display request has been made to the slide information receiving unit 52c and the display processing unit 52f. Further, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display lanes and the like based on the display request.

  [Step S148f] If the parameter N acquired from the input detection unit 52d is the C lane, the bid control unit 52e proceeds to step S148g, and if not the C lane, the bid control unit 52e proceeds to step S148h.

[Step S148g] The bid control unit 52e sends a request to display the C lane to the control device 100.
As described above, the slide control device 100 transmits information related to a lane or the like for which a display request has been made to the slide information receiving unit 52c and the display processing unit 52f. Further, the display processing unit 52f causes the input display unit 520 to display lanes and the like based on the display request.

  [Step S148h] If the parameter N acquired from the input detection unit 52d is the D lane, the bid control unit 52e proceeds to step S148i. If the parameter N is other than the D lane, the bidding control unit 52e ends the process. Proceed to

[Step S148i] The bid control unit 52e sends a display request for the D lane to the control device 100.
As described above, the slide control device 100 transmits information related to a lane or the like for which a display request has been made to the slide information receiving unit 52c and the display processing unit 52f. Further, the display processing unit 52f can cause the input display unit 520 to display a lane or the like based on the display request.

In this way, the lane to which the bid transaction desired by the bidder belongs is displayed on the input display unit 520. Thereafter, the bidder can bid for the desired transaction.
Next, the processing operation for executing the forward transaction in step S149 performed by the bid control unit 52e will be described.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for executing the transaction.
[Step S149a] The bidding control unit 52e receives the bidding request upper bid price (higher bidding price) received from the bidding information control unit 100 and received by the bidding information receiving unit 52c, and the upper bidding price. The purchaser ID of each bidder who bids the bid price is acquired. These pieces of information are transmitted from the control device 100 every time it is updated. Further, for the upper bidding price, for example, bidding requests up to the top three are obtained according to the upper bidding price to be displayed on the slide screen.

[Step S149b] The bid control unit 52e transmits a display request for a display screen for accepting a bid to the display processing unit 52f.
Note that the display processing unit 52f displays a display screen on the input display unit 520.

[Step S149c] The bid control unit 52e graphs its bid price acquired in step S14, and transmits a display request for the graph to the display processing unit 52f.
The display processing unit 52f displays the received bid price graph of the bidder on the screen as a bar graph, for example.

  [Step S149d] The bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not the bidder's purchasing store ID matches the purchasing store ID of the first bidding price. In FIG. 11, the purchaser ID of the bidder is “own store ID”. The next process proceeds to step S149e if the own shop ID is first, and proceeds to step S149i if it is not first.

  [Step S149e] The bidding control unit 52e graphs the second and third bidding prices out of the upper bidding prices acquired in step S149a, and transmits a display request for the graph to the display processing unit 52f.

  The display processing unit 52f displays the received second and third bid price graphs, for example, as bar graphs on the bidder's bar graph displayed in step S149c on the display screen.

[Step S149f] The bidding control unit 52e measures a predetermined time after obtaining the bidding request in step S149e.
[Step S149g] The bidding control unit 52e again determines whether or not the own store ID matches the purchasing store ID of the first bidding price. The next process proceeds to step S149h if the own shop ID is first, and proceeds to step S149l if it is not first.

[Step S149h] When the bid control unit 100 determines that a successful bid is made by the bidder's bid, the bid control unit 52e transmits a successful bid display request to the display processing unit 52f.
The display processing unit 52f displays “successful bid” on the input display unit 520.

  [Step S149i] The bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not the own store ID matches the purchase store ID of the second bidding price among the higher bidding prices. The next process proceeds to step S149j if the own shop ID is second, and proceeds to step S149k if it is not second.

  [Step S149j] The bidding control unit 52e graphs the first and third bidding prices out of the higher bidding prices acquired in step S149a, and transmits a display request for the graph to the display processing unit 52f.

  The display processing unit 52f displays the received first and third bid price graphs, for example, as bar graphs on the bidder's bar graph displayed in step S149c and displays them on the slide screen.

  [Step S149k] The bidding control unit 52e graphs the first and second ranks of the higher bidding price acquired in step S149a, and transmits a display request for the graph information to the display processing unit 52f.

  The display processing unit 52f displays the received first and second bid price graphs, for example, as bar graphs on the bidder bar graph displayed in step S149c.

  [Step S149l] The bid control unit 52e determines whether or not the bidder's bid is accepted by the input detection unit 52d. If the next process is not accepted, the process proceeds to step S149m, and if accepted, the process proceeds to step S149n.

  [Step S149m] When the bid control device 100 determines that the bid transaction is completed or the flow is determined, the bid control unit 52e transmits the request for the completion or the flow of the bid transaction to the display processing unit 52f.

The display processing unit 52f displays “completed or flow” on the input display unit 520.
[Step S149n] The bid control unit 52e updates the bid price newly bid, and the next process proceeds to step S149c.

  A warning such as that implemented in steps S144 to S147 can alert the bidder that the displayed lane is different from the lane where the desired transaction is performed, and the bidder can switch the lane and accurately change the desired transaction. You will be able to bid.

  Further, when executing the bid transaction, the bidder can roughly grasp the position of the bid price of the bidder in the price graph displayed in step S149, so that the bid transaction can be made more active.

Next, the lane automatic switching processing operation in step S15 performed by the bidding control unit 52e will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure for automatic lane switching.

  [Step S151] The bid control unit 52e obtains the serial number (end serial number) at which the commercial transaction has been completed so far, which the commercial information receiving unit 52c has received from the commercial information transfer unit 101 of the serial control device 100.

[Step S152] The bidding control unit 52e specifies the designated serial number from which the commercial transaction will be performed from the designated schedule table and the end serial number.
[Step S153] The bidding control unit 52e determines whether or not the transaction for the designated serial number identified in Step S152 has been completed. The next process proceeds to step S154 if the transaction for the designated serial number has not been completed, and if completed, the process ends and proceeds to step S16.

[Step S154] The bid control unit 52e performs the following processing for each lane having the lane number i (= A, B, C, D).
[Step S155] The bid control unit 52e searches for the designated serial number identified in step S152 in the lane of the lane number i.

  [Step S156] The bidding control unit 52e refers to the schedule table, and determines whether or not the transaction of the number immediately before the designated number (specified number-1) is completed. If the next process has been completed, the process proceeds to step S157; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S158. It should be noted that the serial number of the transaction to be completed is not limited to the serial number immediately before the designated serial number, and can be set by the user as, for example, two previous or three previous.

[Step S157] The bid control unit 52e sets the acquired i as the parameter N.
[Step S158] The bid control unit 52e sets a flag value 1 of SW_ON.
[Step S159] The bid control unit 52e sets the parameter N in step S157 to the parameter NSET. Specifically, the display screen is switched to N lanes corresponding to the lane number set in the parameter NSET.

  [Step S15a] The bid control unit 52e refers to the designated schedule, and sets the designated serial number to be performed next time in SERI_NO representing the designated serial number of the designated serial transaction to be performed next time.

Next, a specific example of a display screen in the bid response terminal 52 will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Processing Example 1>
First, the input display unit 520 of the bid response terminal 52 will be described.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a bidding screen on the input display unit of the bidding terminal.
As described above, the input display unit 520 is a display adopting a touch panel method, and can detect not only the display but also the touch operation on the screen by the bidder.

  This screen 521 includes a used car display unit 522, a schedule display unit 523, an execution lane display unit 524, a lane changeover switch 525, and a menu display button 526, and displays various information received from the slide control device 100. Has been.

For example, in FIG. 13, a used car with a lane number 1013 of A lane is displayed, and the current reception price is 897,000 yen.

  In the schedule display section 523, a schedule table is displayed in which schedule transactions performed for each lane are arranged in order of implementation together with the start time. FIG. 13 shows the case of four lanes (A, B, C, D lanes). In addition, the colored line number in FIG. 13 represents the completion state of the line transaction.

  The implementation lane display part 524 is displayed by lighting up the lane to which the currently displayed transaction belongs, for example. In FIG. 13, since the lane A transaction is being performed, the lane A is lit in the implementation lane display portion 524.

  The lane changeover switch 525 has a switch corresponding to the lane, and the used car information of the transaction currently being performed in the designated lane is displayed on the used car display unit 522. For example, in FIG. 13, when “A” of the lane changeover switch 525 is pressed, the lane A transaction is displayed on the used car display unit 522, and the lane A is lit on the implementation lane display unit 524.

By pressing this button, the menu display button 526 can be switched to a designated schedule table creation screen when the bidder starts a bid transaction.
Next, the designated schedule table creation screen displayed when the menu display button 526 is pressed will be described.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a display example of the designated-slip creation screen in the input display unit of the bid response terminal.

  Similar to the above-mentioned used car display unit 522, the used car display unit 622 includes a photograph of the target used car, vehicle information indicating the model, year, and state of the target used car, and the lane number and display of the displayed lane. The transaction number of the transaction that is being displayed is displayed.

  The slip schedule display unit 623 displays a slip schedule. For example, in FIG. 14, a slide schedule table 1042 displayed on the slide schedule display unit 623 is touched and designated. The used car corresponding to the serial number 1042 is displayed on the used car display unit 622 together with the vehicle information and the like. Further, scroll buttons 623a and 623c for scrolling the slide schedule table up and down and a scroll bar 623b are arranged on the side of the slide schedule display section 623, respectively.

  The cancel button 624 can cancel the designation of the bargain transaction by pressing the cancel button 624 after the bargain transaction is designated in the bargain schedule display unit 623. For example, in the above example in which the serial number 1042 is specified, when canceling the designation of the serial number 1042, the cancel button 624 is pressed.

  The add button 625 can be added to the specified schedule transaction by pressing the add button 625 after specifying the delayed transaction in the scheduled schedule display unit 623. For example, in FIG. 14, when an entry number 1042 is designated and the addition number 625 is added to the designated appointment schedule, the add button 625 is pressed.

  By pressing this button, the designated schedule display button 626 can display the designated schedule created on the designated schedule creation screen. A display example of the designated schedule will be described later.

  When the return button 627 and the top page display button 628 are pressed, the previous screen where the creation screen was displayed and the top page of FIG. 14 are displayed.

Next, the designated schedule displayed when the designated schedule display button 626 is pressed will be described.
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a display example of the designated schedule table in the input display section of the bid response terminal.

  A display example on the input display unit 520 of the bid response terminal 52 is shown in FIG. The screen 721 includes a used car display unit 722, a designated schedule table display unit 723, a designated vehicle type table display unit 724, a maximum successful bid number display unit 725, a return button 727, and a top page display button 728.

  Similar to the above-described used car display unit 622, the used car display unit 722 displays a photograph of the target used car, vehicle information indicating the model, year, and state of the target used car, the lane number of the displayed lane, and the display. The transaction number is displayed.

  The designated schedule display section 723 displays the designated schedule created in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the transaction number designated for each lane is arranged. In addition, when the serial number of the designated schedule is touched, the used car corresponding to the touched serial number is displayed on the used car display unit 722.

The designated vehicle type table display unit 724 displays a table in which the types of used vehicles of the designated transaction are arranged in the order of execution. Car types include vans, sports, families, sedans, and the like.
The maximum successful bid number display section 725 is an upper limit value of the number of used cars that can be bid by bidders. Depending on the bidder's wishes, it can be set freely from zero using the numeric keypad.

  By pressing the return button 727 and the top page display button 728, the previous screen where the creation screen was displayed and the top page of FIG. 13 are displayed.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a display example of the bidding screen on the input display unit of the bidding terminal when warning is output, and FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a display example of the bidding screen on the input display unit of the bidding terminal.

First, when the bidder turns on the bidding terminal 52, the screen 521 shown in FIG.
Subsequently, the bidder presses the menu display button 526 in order to create a designated schedule. The bidder depresses the lane B entry number 1042 corresponding to the used car under consideration from the entry schedule display portion 623 of the screen 621 displayed in FIG. The used car corresponding to the serial number 1042 is displayed on the used car display unit 622. The bidder presses the add button 625 when bidding on the used car with the serial number 1042 or presses the release button 624 when selecting another used car. In this way, the bidder designates the desired transaction and creates a designated schedule.

  Subsequently, the bidder presses a designated schedule display button 626 to confirm the created designated schedule. The designated transaction can be confirmed from the designated schedule display section 723 on the screen 721 displayed in FIG. When an arbitrary serial number in the designated schedule display section 723 is pressed, the used car with the serial number pressed is displayed on the used car display section 722. Further, when the bidder sets the maximum number of successful bids in advance, the bidder performs an operation input using the numeric keypad of the maximum successful bid number display unit 725. Further, when returning to the screen 621 shown in FIG. 14 and editing the designated schedule, the user presses the return button 727. When the designated schedule is confirmed and a bid is made, the top page display button 728 is pressed.

The initial setting is completed by the above operation input to the input display unit 520 (corresponding to step S11).
Subsequently, a screen 521 (FIG. 13) is displayed on the input display unit 520 of the bid response terminal 52. Further, the used car display section 522 has a photograph 522a of the target used car corresponding to the sash number 1013 (slip number 522d) of the A lane (lane number 522c), a vehicle showing the model, year, state, etc. of the target used car. Information 522b, received price 522e, and the like are displayed (corresponding to steps S12 and S13).

In this state, the bidder makes a bid for the unwanted message number 1037 displayed in the A lane (hereinafter corresponding to step S14).
The bidding terminal 52 determines that the bidding lanes are different and displays a lane difference warning 527 on the input display unit 520 (corresponding to step S144). At this time, an alarm sound may be output together with the display of the lane difference warning 527. If the vehicle type with the desired number 1037 is the desired vehicle type, the transaction is performed as it is, and if the vehicle type is different, a warning that the vehicle type is different is output (corresponding to step S145). Also, a timing warning is output when the bidding time is not during the execution of the transaction (corresponding to step S146). If the maximum number of successful bids is set in advance and the number of successful bids is the same as the maximum number of successful bids, a warning of exceeding the maximum number of successful bids is output (corresponding to step S147).

When the bidder is alerted to the difference in lane, the bidder presses the B lane of the lane switch 525 to switch from the A lane to the B lane display (corresponding to step S148).
In the input display section 520 of the bid bidding terminal 52, when the display is switched to the B lane, the bid transaction 1042 designated by the bidder is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, a display 528 for executing a transaction is displayed on the screen 521.

  The bid display unit 528 includes a graph display unit 528a in which the bid price of the bidder and the higher bid price for the bid number 1042 are displayed as a bar graph, and a bid button 528b for the bidder to bid. Note that in the schedule display section 523a, schedules before and after the current transaction are displayed.

  The graph display unit 528a displays three bar graphs including bidder bid prices. The bid price of the bidder is always displayed on the right side. Therefore, if the bid price of the bidder is 1st, bar graphs of the 2nd and 3rd bid prices are displayed on the left side and the middle, respectively. If the bid price of the bidder is 2nd, bar graphs of the 1st and 3rd bid prices are displayed on the left and in the middle, respectively. If the bidder's bid price is 3rd or lower, bar graphs of the 1st and 2nd bid prices are displayed on the left and in the middle, respectively.

  The bidder can visually recognize the graph display unit 528a to grasp the position of the bid price in the entire bidder, and easily determine whether or not to bid. When bidding, the bidding button 528b is pressed. Eventually, when the bidder or other bidders make a successful bid or flow, the transaction is completed (corresponding to step S149).

Then, in the used car display unit 522, the display is switched to the A lane in which the serial number 1061 which is the next designated serial transaction is performed (corresponding to step S15).
Again, the screen 521 (FIG. 13) is displayed on the input display section 520 of the bid response terminal 52, and the used car display section 522 corresponds to the line number 1045 (the line number 522d) of the A lane (lane number 522c). A used car photo 522a, vehicle information 522b indicating the model, year, state, etc. of the target used car, received price 522e, etc. are displayed (corresponding to step S12).

Thereafter, the same process as described above is performed, and all the specified transaction is displayed and the transaction is performed.
Next, a second embodiment will be described.

  In the second embodiment, after the initial information is acquired, when there is no desired transaction in the displayed lane, the lane is automatically switched, and further, when the desired transaction time is overlapped. An example will be described. Note that the second embodiment is also realized by the sliding system described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the bid response terminal according to the second embodiment.
Note that the flowchart of FIG. 18 includes the step numbers used in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. For this reason, description of the already described step numbers is omitted.

[Step S15b] Subsequent to steps S11 to S13, the bidder erroneously bids in a state in which the bid transaction that the bidder does not want is displayed.
After the bidding, the bidding control unit 52e measures the passage of a predetermined time and changes the display to the lane where the bid transaction desired by the bidder is performed.

Thereafter, as described in step S149, a slide screen is displayed, and a bid can be made.
Next, the bidding process in step S14 performed by the bidding control unit 52e will be described.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a procedure for automatic lane switching.
Note that the flowchart of FIG. 19 also includes the step numbers used in the flowchart of FIG. For this reason, description of the already described step numbers is omitted.

  [Step S15c] When the bidder bids by the bidder, the bid control unit 52e measures the time. The next process proceeds to step S151 when the predetermined time has elapsed, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process ends and proceeds to step S149.

  [Step S15d] Through step S152, the bidding control unit 52e determines whether there are a plurality of specified designation numbers. The next process proceeds to step S153 if the specified designated number is one, and proceeds to step S15e if it is not one, that is, if there are more than one.

[Step S15e] The bid control unit 52e transmits screen display requests as many as the specified number of lines to the display processing unit 52f.
In the subsequent processing, when the specified designated number is one, the processing after step S154 is performed as in the first embodiment. If there are a plurality of specified designated numbers, the processing after step S154 is performed for each of the plurality of screens.

Next, a specific example of a display screen in the bid response terminal 52 will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Processing example 2>
<Processing example 2> describes a case where lanes are automatically switched as in the second embodiment, and a plurality of bid transactions desired by bidders are performed at the same time.

FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a bidding screen on the input display unit of the bidding terminal.
First, as in <Processing Example 1>, when the bidder turns on the power to the bidder terminal 52 and performs initial setting (corresponding to step S11), the screen 521 is displayed on the input display unit 520 of the bidder terminal 52. Is displayed (FIG. 13). Further, the used car display section 522 has a photograph 522a of the target used car corresponding to the sash number 1013 (slip number 522d) of the A lane (lane number 522c), a vehicle showing the model, year, state, etc. of the target used car. Information 522b, received price 522e, and the like are displayed (corresponding to steps S12 and S13).

  In this state, the bidder bids for the unwanted number 1037 displayed on the A lane. Alternatively, although no bid is made, the state where the A lane, which is another lane, is selected continues even when the designated schedule is reached.

  In the bid response terminal 52, it is determined that the bid lane is different due to the alarm such as “the lane is different”, and the D and B lanes in which the bidder performs the desired bid transaction are displayed on the input display unit 520. To do. Alternatively, in the bid response terminal 52, the bid control unit 52e detects that the displayed lane is different, and automatically displays the D and B lanes in which the bid transaction desired by the bidder is performed on the input display unit 520. To do. (Corresponding to step S15b).

  In the input display section 520 of the bid response terminal 52, the display is switched to the B and D lanes, and the bid transaction of the call numbers 1086 and 1088 designated by the bidder is started. Then, as shown in FIG. 20, display screens 538 and 548 for executing a transaction are displayed on the screen 521. By switching the screen from the A lane display to FIG. 20, the bidder is informed that the specified schedule schedule transaction has started. Alternatively, at the same time as switching to FIG. 20, the bidder can be notified by alarm or voice.

  The bid display units 538 and 548 include a bar display for displaying bid prices of bidders and higher bid prices for bid numbers 1086 and 1088 as bar graphs, and bid buttons 538b for bidders to bid. 548b. Note that in the schedule display section 523a, schedules before and after the current transaction are displayed.

  In the graph display parts 538a and 548a, three bar graphs including bidder bid prices are displayed. The bid price of the bidder is always displayed on the right side. Therefore, if the bid price of the bidder is 1st, bar graphs of the 2nd and 3rd bid prices are displayed on the left side and the middle, respectively. Also, if the bid price of the bidder is 2nd, bar graphs of the 1st and 3rd bid prices are displayed on the left and in the middle, respectively.

  The bidder can visually recognize the graph display portions 538a and 548a, grasp the position of the bid price of the bidder, and can easily determine whether or not to bid. When bidding, bidding buttons 538b and 548b are pressed. Eventually, when the bidder or other bidders make a successful bid or flow, the transaction is completed (corresponding to step S149).
