  Based on the specified result, the control unit 313 of the intermediary server 110 sends a message indicating that the product X purchased at the member store can be exhibited (for example, “Mr. X, thank you for using it. The purchased product X is in a state where it can be exhibited. Do you wish to exhibit? "Or the like is returned to the user terminal 120 (step S25). The control unit 323 of the user terminal 120 displays the message received from the mediation server 110 on the display (Step S26). The user confirms the message displayed on the display, and performs an input operation indicating that the product X is desired to be sent or not. Here, when there are a plurality of products X that can be displayed, these products may be displayed in a list format. Furthermore, only products that meet a specific condition (for example, products purchased at a store within the past year) may be displayed.

  When the control unit 323 of the user terminal 120 detects an input operation indicating that the product X is desired or not desired (step S27), the control unit 323 transmits a detection signal indicating the detection result to the mediation server 110 (step S28). .

  Based on the detection signal transmitted from the user terminal 120, the control unit 313 of the mediation server 110 determines whether or not it is desired to exhibit the product X (step S29). When the control unit 313 of the mediation server 110 determines that the item X is desired to be listed (step S29; YES), the control unit 313 sends an instruction to create the item information for listing the item to the first generation unit 314. On the other hand, when the control unit 313 of the mediation server 110 determines that the item X is not desired to be exhibited (step S29; NO), the control unit 313 performs a normal process (for example, a process for accepting an item for sale).

  The first generation unit 314 of the mediation server 110 creates product information for exhibition of the product X as shown in FIG. 7, for example, based on the matched purchase information according to the instruction of the control unit 313 (step S30). As described above, the product information for exhibition includes product information of the exhibited product X, usage period information indicating the number of days since purchase, etc., recommended selling price information indicating the recommended selling price of the exhibited product X, and the like. included.

  The 1st production | generation part 314 of the mediation server 110 will transmit to the communication part 311, if the product information for exhibition of the goods X is produced | generated automatically. The communication unit 311 of the mediation server 110 transmits the generated product information for exhibition of the product X to the user terminal 120 (step S31).

  When the control unit 323 of the user terminal 120 receives the product information for exhibition of the product X from the mediation server 110, the control unit 323 displays it on the display (step S32). The user appropriately edits the commodity information for exhibition displayed on the display. The control unit 323 of the user terminal 120 creates formal merchandise information for the merchandise X in accordance with the editing operation of the merchandise information for exhibition by the user (step S33).

  Information that changes depending on the use of the user may be described in the commodity information for exhibition. For example, without limitation, a message indicating the frequency of use of product X (used only a few times so far), a message indicating the presence or absence of damage or dirt on product X (such as blurring in the right corner), and a specific location of product X ( Including adding photos of places where dirt is noticeable.

  When the user creates the product information for exhibition of the product X, the user operates the user terminal 120 to input an exhibition request including the product information for exhibition of the product X. When receiving the exhibition request, the control unit 323 of the user terminal 120 transmits it to the mediation server 110 (step S34). Upon receiving the exhibition request, the control unit 313 of the mediation server 110 publishes the product information for exhibition of the product X and starts accepting a purchase application for the exhibited product X (step S35).

In the first embodiment, an example in which the payment terminal 130 performs payment for product purchase at the member store in step S2 and the purchase information is transmitted from the payment terminal 130 to the mediation server 110 is described. Is not limited to this. By way of example and not limitation, when making a smart payment at a self-checkout, the product tag may be read by the user terminal 120, purchase information may be generated at the user terminal 120, and this may be transmitted to the mediation server 110, When the user terminal 120 reads the installed two-dimensional code and performs settlement, purchase information may be generated at the user terminal 120 and transmitted to the mediation server 110.
In the first embodiment, the mode in which the mediation server 110 registers the purchase information in the purchase information database DB2 when receiving the purchase information of the user in step S14 is described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. By way of example and not limitation, the user terminal 120 may register user purchase information.

<< First Example >>
In the first embodiment, the recommended sales price of the exhibited product is obtained using the market price of the product. The recommended sales price can be set to a reasonable price reflecting the market by using the market price of the product.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mediation server 110 according to the first embodiment. The mediation server 110 according to the first embodiment is obtained by providing a market price information table TA1 to the mediation server 110 shown in FIG. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the mediation server 110 shown in FIG. 4, the corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The market price information table TA1 is a management table created based on the trading performance of the electronic commerce platform. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating registered contents of the market price information table TA1. In the market price information table TA1, category information indicating product categories, product name information indicating product names, market price information representing market prices, and the like are registered in association with each other. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the product with the product name information “Ring (Silver)” belonging to the category information “Accessory” is the market price of “1000 yen to 1500 yen”.

  When determining the recommended sales price, the first generation unit 314 of the mediation server 110 first searches the market price information table TA1 using the product information (for example, product name) of the product included in the purchase information as a search key. For example, if the product name of the product included in the purchase information is “Ring (Silver)”, the market price information “1000 yen to 1500 yen” corresponding to this product name is acquired from the market price information table TA1, and the acquired market price is obtained. The market price indicated in the information is set as the recommended sales price.

  In the above example, the case of obtaining the market price of a product based on the transaction results of the electronic commerce platform is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, market information representing the market price of each product may be acquired from a third party who operates the same kind of electronic commerce platform, and the market price of the product may be obtained using the acquired market price information.

  If there is no product with the same product name in the market price information table TA1, the recommended sales price may be estimated from the market price of other products with similar products or product categories.

  The recommended sales price may be adjusted by the user with a simple operation. For example, an adjustment bar having the determined recommended sales price as a midpoint is displayed on the display of the user terminal 120. The user can easily adjust the recommended selling price by appropriately operating the user terminal 120. In this way, by urging the adjustment from the recommended sales price, it is possible to avoid the setting of the sales price greatly deviating from the market price.

<< Second Example >>

  In the privilege information database DB3, a plurality of privilege algorithms Al1 to Al3 executed by the information providing unit 315 are stored.

  The privilege algorithm Al1 is, for example, an algorithm that provides (effective) privilege information that can be used at a member store where a user has purchased a product. By executing the privilege algorithm Al1, for example, information indicating a coupon or an advertisement such as “20% off for a product in the same category (“ accessory ”) as the product purchased by the user (“ Ring (silver) ”)” is generated. .

  The privilege algorithm Al2 is a algorithm that provides appropriate listing timing (privilege information) for products purchased by a user at a member store, for example. By executing the privilege algorithm Al2, for example, an exhibition timing such as “a product purchased by a user (“ fur coat ”) should be exhibited at a time when it starts to become cold (“ November to December ”)” is given. The information shown is generated.

  The privilege algorithm Al3 provides recommended products (privilege information) that can be newly purchased by, for example, selling products using an electronic commerce platform and obtaining a sales fee (or points). Algorithm. By executing the bonus algorithm Al3, for example, a recommended product such as “You can purchase a good product (“ Business Shoes ”) if you sell the product purchased by the user (“ Wallet ””) ” Is generated.

  As for the exhibition timing, for example, referring to a history database that records the trading results of the electronic commerce platform performed through the intermediary server 110, the period of highest selling with reference to the price movement chart of the same product is used as the exhibition timing. You only have to set it. The recommended product may be set in consideration of the user's preference based on the user's transaction history or the like. Further, in this embodiment, three types of typical privilege algorithms are illustrated in order to facilitate understanding of the description, but the number is not limited. Of course, the privilege algorithms Al1 to Al3 may be used in combination.

  The information providing unit 315 appropriately selects and executes the privilege algorithms Al1 to Al3, and provides privilege information that prompts the user who purchased the product at the member store to use the electronic commerce platform.

  For example, when the privilege algorithm Al <b> 1 is selected, the information providing unit 315 generates privilege information regarding coupons and advertisements that are valid at the member store where the user purchased the product, and sends the privilege information to the communication unit 311. The communication unit 311 transmits the benefit information related to the coupon and the advertisement generated in the information providing unit 315 to the user terminal 120.

<Functional Configuration of Second Embodiment>
Functional configurations of the mediation server 110, the user terminal 120, and the payment terminal 130 according to the second embodiment will be described. In the following description, configurations other than the mediation server 110, that is, the user terminal 120 and the payment terminal 130 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

(1) Functional configuration of mediation server FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the mediation server 110 according to the second embodiment. The mediation server 110 is obtained by providing the mediation server 110 shown in FIG. 4 with a sales information database DB4 and a second generation unit 316. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the mediation server 110 shown in FIG. 4, the corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The second generation unit 316 determines whether or not the product sold through the electronic commerce brokerage system is a product purchased at the member store (hereinafter referred to as “product via the member store”). As described above, in the case of a product via a member store, purchase information is already stored in the purchase information database DB2. If the second generation unit 316 refers to the purchase information database DB2 and determines that the purchase information is registered, the product sold this time is assumed to be a product via a member store, and the purchase information corresponding to the product is added. Based on this, trading information is generated.

  The sales information database DB4 stores the sales information generated by the second generation unit 316. The sales information is information that represents details regarding the sales of products via member stores.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating trading information registered in the trading information database DB4.
As shown in FIG. 17, the sales information includes a store ID for identifying a merchant from which the product is purchased, product information of the product (that is, information representing the product name, product number, category, etc.) of the product, Includes the first period information that represents the period from when the item was placed to the listing, the second period information that represents the period from when the item was listed until the sale was completed, and the sale price information that represents the price when the item was actually sold It is.

  In the example of FIG. 17, the product with the product information “T0001 sweater S size for women” purchased with the purchase price information “5000 yen” at the store with the store ID “S0001” has a first period from purchase to listing. The period information is “3 months”, and the period from listing to sale is the second period information “1 month”. The sale price at that time indicates that the sale price information was “1800 yen”. Note that what information is included in the trading information can be arbitrarily set and changed. For example, in the electronic commerce platform, information indicating what kinds of products have been exhibited and sales have been concluded may be included in the sales information.

When the second generation unit 316 generates trading information based on the purchase information for the product via the member store, the second generation unit 316 stores it in the trading information database DB4 and sends it to the communication unit 311.
When the communication unit 311 receives the sales information on the product via the member store, the communication unit 311 transmits it to the payment terminal 130 of the corresponding member store.

<Information provision processing of the second embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the information provision process of the transaction system 1 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 18 shows an example of a sequence of information providing processing of the transaction system 1 according to the second embodiment. In the following description, it is assumed that a product is exhibited via the mediation server 110 and a sale is established with the purchaser.

  When the control unit 313 of the mediation server 110 detects the sale of the exhibited product (step S40), the second generation unit 316 determines whether the product for which the sale has been completed is a product via a member store. Is determined (step S41).

  As described above, in the case of a product via a member store, the purchase information of the product is registered in the purchase information database N2. Since the purchase information is registered, the second generation unit 316 generates the sale information as shown in FIG. 17 based on the purchase information when it is determined that the product is a product via a member store (step S41; YES). (Step S42). Then, the second generation unit 316 stores the generated sales information in the sales information database DB4 and sends it to the communication unit 311.

When the communication unit 311 receives the sales information for the product via the member store, the communication unit 311 transmits it to the payment terminal 130 of the corresponding member store (step S43). Note that the destination of the trading information is not limited to the payment terminal 130 of the member store, but may be any terminal (for example, a display device) that can receive and display the trading information.
On the other hand, if the generation unit 316 determines that the product for which the sale has been completed is not a product via the member store (step S41; NO), the generation unit 316 ends without generating the sale information.

When the merchant settlement terminal 130 receives the trading information, it displays it on the display (step S44). By confirming the sales information displayed on the display, member store staff, etc., can grasp information such as what kind of products will be secondary-distributed in what period and at what price range. Can do. Thereby, the member store can obtain information for adjusting the number of goods sold, the time, the price, and the like.
The member store staff distributes privilege information such as coupons and advertisements from the settlement terminal 130 to the user terminal 120 so that the user who sold the product can visit the store again based on the grasped information. Also good.
Various privilege information may be transmitted to the user terminal 120 based on information grasped by the member store. In this case, the privilege information to be transmitted may be selected according to the purchase price at the member store and the sale / settlement price at the electronic commerce platform. As an example and not as a limitation, if the purchase price on the e-commerce platform is higher than the purchase price at the merchant, the user who made the offer gains money by the listing, so the privilege information is simply given to the merchant. Select an advertisement (ad information). If the purchase price at the electronic commerce platform is lower than the purchase price at the member store, a coupon (discount) that can be used at the member store is selected. The privilege information may be related to the purchased product. As an example and not limitation, the privilege information may be selected based on the category and price of the purchased product.

<< Application common to each embodiment and each example >>
In recent years, problems such as the listing of counterfeit products such as so-called copy products and fake brand products have been rampant in the electronic commerce platform. In order to solve such a problem, block chain technology that enables tracking (traceability) of a distribution channel may be utilized. For example, an NFC chip for identifying a genuine product is embedded in a product sold at a member store, and information on the chip is managed by a block chain. Since the blockchain is almost impossible to tamper with, the product can be determined to be genuine if the NFC chip is mounted. Furthermore, if blockchain technology is used, distribution history can be tracked, so it is possible to check whether or not it has been obtained through illegal routes such as stolen goods, and the user can use the e-commerce platform with peace of mind. . In addition, after the secondary distribution, all the distributions can be referred to even when the N-th distribution occurs.
