In this example, the shopping server 3a, when the first user inputs a new item to the shopping basket, prompts the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 to the first type of user. Further, the shopping server 3a is directed to the first user who has performed the operation even when the "shopping basket" button set on the predetermined web page such as the top-level web page is operated. , prompting the first user shopping basket page pb1.

The first type of product that the user puts into the shopping basket can be regarded as the product that the first user wants to purchase. Therefore, the following is also referred to as "the first type of user purchases the desired product" for the product.

Moreover, the information suggested in the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 can be said to be the list information of the first type of user to purchase the desired item, and the following is also referred to as "the first type of user purchases the desired item list". .

Further, in the case where the second user performs the product input operation to the shopping basket of the second user, the product registration processing unit F1, in response to this, treats the product that has been put into operation as The second user purchases the desired item and logs in to the second purchase desired item management information I2.

The second purchase hope product management information I2 is that, according to each user ID of the second user, the second user defined by the user ID is put into the shopping basket (in this case also It is limited to the product ID of the product that has not been processed by the purchase operation. The product registration processing unit F1 performs the product input operation of the second user to the shopping basket in response to the second user, and the product ID of the product that has been put into operation is purchased with the second type. It is desirable that the user ID of the second user who has performed the input operation in the product management information I2 is associated and registered.

The second placed purchase basket item DB3f shown in Fig. 1 is the DB in which the second purchase desired item management information I2 is stored.

In addition, in the following, the product that is input to the shopping basket by the second user is also referred to as "the second user purchases the desired product."

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a web page (hereinafter referred to as "the second user shopping basket page pb2") in which the second user goes to the shopping basket.

In the second user shopping basket page pb2, in addition to the information on the products that the second user inputs, the purchase button b1 is prompted for each product.

Here, in the present embodiment, the second type of user is a user who is restricted from the checkout processing operation, and therefore, the item that is input to the shopping basket for the second type of user is established only with the second type of user. The related first-user user sets the purchase operation made by the second user to be feasible in the case where the purchase fee for the product is entered into the checkout. Specifically, in this example, the purchase operation performed by the second user is made feasible only in the case where the checkout for the purchase cost of the commodity is approved.

Therefore, the shopping server 3a is a product that is not recognized in the above-mentioned items published in the second user shopping basket page pb2, and is shown as a purchase button b1 to indicate an inactive state (inoperable state). : Purchase button b1 that cannot be moved to the state of the purchase procedure screen.

In addition, even with regard to the second user shopping basket webpage pb2, each time the second user makes a new merchandise input operation to the shopping basket, the second user is prompted, and when the "shopping basket" is written When the button is operated, it will also prompt the second user who has performed the operation.

Here, in the shopping website of this example, the accounts of the first type of users and the second type of users are separate accounts. Therefore, the first type of user, as an input operation of the product, can only put in the operation of his own shopping basket, and also the purchase operation, and can only be used for the input products in his own shopping basket. It is impossible to purchase a product that is invested in the shopping basket of the second type of user that is related to it.

Similarly, the second user, as a commodity input operation, can only put in the operation of his own shopping basket, and also the purchase operation, and can only be used for the products that are invested in his own shopping basket. .

Return to Figure 5 for explanation.

The product/user association establishment processing unit F2 establishes relationship information based on the relationship between the first type of user and the second type of user, and purchases the desired item from the second type of user, and performs the second The first type of user to which the second user associated with the user's purchase of the desired item is purchased establishes a relationship.

Specifically, the product/user association establishment processing unit F2 acquires the product ID of the product that has been put into operation when the second user performs an operation to input the shopping basket for the new product. The user ID of the first type of user associated with the second user who has performed the input operation is obtained based on the stored information of the second user DB (related relationship information: see FIG. 3). . Then, the product ID thus obtained is associated with the user ID of the first user and stored in the connection establishment information DB 3g shown in FIG. 1.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the product/user association establishment information I3 constructed in the connection establishment information DB 3g by the function of the product/user association establishment processing unit F2 as described above.

As shown in the figure, in the product/user association establishment information I3, the first type of use associated with the second user is established for each item ID of the item that the second type of user has invested in the shopping basket. The user ID of the user is established.

In the item/user connection establishment information I3 of this example, the information of the approver user ID and the information cancellation date may be associated with each product ID, but the user ID and information of the approver are used. The elimination of the scheduled date is described later.

Here, the shopping server 3a in this example controls the second user to perform a shopping operation on the new product, so as to establish a connection with the second user. The notification of the first type of user will be carried out. The notification is that, for the first type of user, at least the notification that the second type of user associated with the first type of user has performed the product input operation may be used.

In this example, as the notification, a notification for prompting the second user to check the purchase fee for the newly placed product (the second user purchases the desired product) is performed. Specifically, for example, "Mr. ○○ (the second type of user) is requesting settlement for the product XX.", etc., so that the notification containing the text information required to prompt the first user to checkout will be Was carried out.

Thereby, the content of the notification of the first type of user can be clarified. Moreover, when the second type of user establishes a relationship with the first type of users, the action becomes an inverse bid, and entertainment can be provided.

Further, in the case of this example, the above notification is implemented by transmitting an e-mail to the corresponding first user based on the information of the mail address stored in the first user DB 3c.

In FIG. 5, the second type of user product presentation processing unit F3 is attached to the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 (the first type of user purchase In the list of desired goods, the product/user association establishment processing unit F2 has established a second related type for the first type of user (the first type of user who opened the first type of user shopping basket page pb1) The user purchases the desired item and prompts it.

That is, in the embodiment, once the second user makes a product input to the shopping basket, the product is purchased by the first user of the first type of user who is associated with the second user. The basket page pb1 is prompted.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example in which the second type user purchases the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 in which the desired item is presented.

The second user product prompt processing unit F3 is a second type that is associated with the first type of user when there is a prompt request from the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 made by the first type of user. If the user is present, based on the item/user association establishment information I3 (FIG. 8) stored in the connection establishment information DB 3g, it is determined that the second type of user associated with the first type of user purchases the desired item. If there is a second user who purchases the desired product, the first user shopping basket page pb1 of the second user to purchase the desired product will be posted.

In FIG. 9, the first type of user who requests the prompt of the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 is assumed to be the state in which the product input status to the shopping basket is in the state of FIG. A type of user, and the second type of user associated with the first type of user is the first type of user basket that is prompted when the product is put into the shopping basket as shown in FIG. 7 An example of the web page pb1.

In the first user shopping basket page pb1 in this case, in addition to the information of the product and the purchase button b1 shown in FIG. 6, there is information of the product shown in FIG. 7, that is, the second user has already Information about the items that are put into the shopping basket will be prompted. Even for the information that these second users put into the shopping basket (the second user purchases the desired product), there is also an approval button b2.

The first type of user can perform the check on the shopping server 3a by operating the approval button b2, and approves the purpose of the check-out of the purchase price of the desired product for the second user prompted by the approval button b2. Input.

The input information reception processing unit F4 accepts the input information about the settlement made by the first type of user who purchases the desired item for the second type of user. That is, in this example, in the case where the second type user purchases the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 (the first type of user purchases the desired item list) in which the desired item is presented, the If the two types of users purchase the check-in of the purchase price of the desired product, it is accepted whether the input information involved is accepted. Specifically, the operation of the approval button b2 indicated in the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 is input. Information will be accepted.

The shopping server 3a of this example is in the case where the approval button b2 is operated by the first type of user (that is, the input information about the checkout for the purchase price of the desired product for the second user is already In the case of acceptance, control is performed so that notification to the second user is performed. Specifically, for the second user who puts the approval button b2 into the shopping basket, the purchase fee for the product The use of the checkout is a notice of approval and a notice of the first user who indicated that the approval has been made.

In this way, the second user can know that the product that has been put into the shopping basket has obtained the approval of the first user and the first user who has been approved.

Further, in the case of this example, the above notification is implemented by transmitting an e-mail to the corresponding second user based on the information of the mail address stored in the second user DB 3d.

Moreover, in the shopping server 3a of this example, when the approval button b2 is operated by the first type of user, the purchase button of the product of the second type of user basket page pb2 for approval of the product has been made. B1 becomes activated.

In Fig. 10, an example of the second type of user shopping basket page pb2 which is presented after the approval of the first type of user is obtained with respect to the products of both parties as shown in Fig. 7 is shown. In the case of the second type of user shopping basket page pb2 in the case of the figure, each purchase button b1 is presented in an activated state, and the second user can perform a purchase operation for each item.

Then, the shopping server 3a of this example purchases the desired item for the second type of user who has made the input information for the checkout for the first type of user, and the input information about the checkout is already The purpose of the acceptance, and the information about the input of the checkout is the first type of user who has been notified, and the second use of the commodity input operation for which the second user purchases the desired product is presented. The first user to establish a connection. Specifically, for the first user shopping basket page pb1 The second user who is prompted to purchase the product that has already been approved in the desired product will recognize the information of the first user who has been carried out and indicates that the product has been approved. The second user who puts into operation establishes the first type of user's shopping basket page pb1 of the first type of user to be prompted.

Figure 11 is a diagram showing the first type of user shopping basket page that is indicated by the purpose of the approval and the information of the first type of user who has been approved (hereinafter referred to as "approval confirmation information Is"). An example of pb1. As shown in the figure, as the approval confirmation information Is, information including text information such as "○ × approved checkout" is displayed. In this example, regarding the approved product, the approval confirmation information Is is prompted without the prompt of the approval button b2.

In addition, in FIG. 11, the first type of user who is prompted to operate the first user who has operated the approval button b2 on the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 shown in FIG. 9 is shown. An example of the basket page pb1. In this case, the approval confirmation information Is is operated in accordance with the state shown in Fig. 9 by the approval button b2, and is displayed, for example, in place of the approval button b2.

By confirming the confirmation confirmation information Is for the approved product as described above on the first type of user shopping basket page pb1, it is possible to confirm the identity of the first user who has been approved. Whether the approvals made have been accepted.

Moreover, in the case where the first type of user is associated with the second type of user, the first type of user other than the approved one is used by The first type of user was approved and the first user's information was approved. It was prompted in the first user's shopping basket page pb1, through the first type of use. On the shopping basket page pb1, you can grasp each other's recognition status.

Here, the prompt for the confirmation confirmation information Is may be that the confirmation confirmation information Is is not prompted by the first user once, and may end with the number of views made by the first user. prompt. Alternatively, the notification of the confirmation confirmation information Is may end the prompt as the elapsed time from which the approval is initiated.

In this example, as a method of ending the presentation of the confirmation confirmation information Is, the latter method is employed. Specifically, the confirmation of the confirmation confirmation information Is is performed as the number of days has elapsed since the date of approval is performed. End.

In the case of the above-mentioned method, even if the approval is performed, the approval confirmation information Is is required to be set between the predetermined number of days, so in this example, the product/use shown in the previous FIG. It is possible to establish the information I3 in association with the registration of the user ID of the authorized person who has approved the product, and to cancel the registration of the information on the scheduled date. The information cancellation date is a cancellation date for the registration information in the product/user association establishment information I3 that recognizes the goods that have been processed.

The shopping server 3a obtains the product ID of the approved product in accordance with the fact that the first user's approval for the second user to purchase the desired product has been carried out, and at the same time, The user ID of the approved first user is taken as the approver user ID, and the obtained approver user ID is associated with the product/user association information I3. Establish correspondence and remember. Then, as the information cancellation date, the date is calculated by adding the current date to the predetermined number of days, and the calculated date is associated with the product ID of the product/user association establishment information I3 that has been obtained. .

The shopping server 3a determines whether or not the second user who is the target purchases the desired product has been approved based on the presence or absence of the corresponding establishment of the approver user ID in the product/user association establishment information I3. Further, the second-user who has been associated with the authorized user ID is purchased for the desired product, and the approval confirmation information Is can be presented based on the authorized user ID.

Even in the login information in the product/user association establishment information I3, the login information corresponding to the information cancellation destination is deleted on the date indicated on the information cancellation date. Therefore, the information cancellation confirmation date is a notification of the confirmation confirmation information Is of the second user who has purchased the corresponding desired product (approved product), and the date determined by the above is passed from the date on which the approval has been carried out. After the number is not taken.

Return to Figure 5 for explanation.

The checkout control processing unit F5 controls the fact that the second user has purchased the desired item and has already performed the purchase operation by the second user, so that the second user has already performed the purchase operation. The settlement process for the second user to purchase the purchase price of the desired product is performed based on the input information about the checkout made by the first user. Specifically, in this example, regarding the approval button b2 is operated, and in the second user shopping basket page pb2, the purchase button b1 is activated, and the second user purchases the desired item, which corresponds to the second The user operates the purchase button b1 to perform the purchase operation of the product, and controls so that the checkout process for the purchase fee of the product is in the name of the first user who has approved the product. And was carried out.

As described above, the shopping server 3a of the present embodiment processes the purchase of the product (purchased product) that has been carried out in the purchase operation, and performs the following processing: the purchase fee including the product or the use as the checkout person. The order information of the information such as the credit card number of the person to be sent is sent to the shop terminal 5 of the source shop of the product to be purchased. In response to this, the checkout control processing unit F5 of the present example generates, as the above-mentioned order information, a credit card number of the first type of user who has set the credit card number of the checkout person to have been approved for the purchase target product. Ordering information, and processing to send the order information to the corresponding shop terminal 5.

The store terminal 5 that has received the order information as described above transmits the order information to the card company server 6 to perform a checkout request, and accordingly, in the card company server 6, the subsequent order is determined. At the time of sequence, the process of debiting the checkout amount from the account associated with the credit card number included in the order information is executed.

The restriction setting processing unit F6 is based on the operation of the first type of user associated with the second user, and is related to the second user. The first type of user who establishes at least one of the first plurality of related users sets the restriction information of the checkout processing operation involved in purchasing the desired item by the second type of user.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a web page (hereinafter referred to as "restricted information setting web page pr") presented to the first type of user in order to set the restriction information.

In the shopping website of this example, the restriction information setting webpage pr is designed such that, in the case where the same type of user is established for the same second type of user, the first type of user can be used. That is, each of the first users belonging to the same group requires a prompted web page, and cannot be prompted by the other first user. In Fig. 12, an example of a restriction information setting web page pr that is prompted in response to a prompt request sent from one of the three first users who are associated with the same second user is shown.

As shown in the figure, in the restriction information setting web page pr, a list of the first users belonging to the same group as the first type of user who has requested the restriction information setting web page pr is presented, and Each of the first users, the information indicating the difference of the restriction type, specifically, the text information indicating the type A, the type B, and the check box cba and the input box configured for the text information of the type A The bia, and the check box cbb and the input box bib which are configured for the text information of the type B, and the setting button b3 required for setting the indication are prompted.

In the case of this example, the type A of the restriction is designed to be able to recognize the number of times per month (the number of checkouts) for the same second user. Restricted, restricted type B is designed to limit the amount of accredited amount (the amount of accredited purchase fees: the billable amount) for each month of the same second user.

The first type of user is the first type of user who is prompted in the restriction information setting web page pr (in this case also includes the person who performs the restriction setting), by the first type of user desired Checking any one of the check boxes cba or cbb to select either type A or type B, and after inputting information into the input box bi of the selected type side of the input box bia or bib, the operation is performed. Set button b3. Therefore, for the first type of user who is expected to record, the second user can purchase the restriction information of the checkout right involved in the desired product, and instruct the shopping server 3a.

In response to the setting instruction of the restriction information being performed, the restriction setting processing unit F6 performs the setting processing of the restriction information corresponding to the input information of the restriction information setting web page pr. Specifically, the restriction setting processing unit F6 acquires the user ID, the restriction type, and the restriction criterion of the first type of user who is regarded as the setting target of the restriction information based on the input information of the restriction information setting web page pr. News. Further, the restriction reference information is information input in the input box bia or bib, and in this example, is numerical information indicating the number of times or numerical information indicating the amount of money.

Then, the restriction setting processing unit F6 associates the acquired restriction type and the restriction reference information with the obtained user ID of the first type of user, and stores it in the restriction information DB 3h shown in FIG. 1 .

Figure 13 is a diagram showing the limitation setting by the above An example of the restriction management information I4 constructed in the restriction information DB 3h by the function of the processing unit F6.

As shown in the figure, in the restriction management information I4, the restriction type information and the restriction reference information are associated with each user ID of the first type of user who is regarded as the setting target of the restriction information.

Here, in the restriction management information I4 of this example, the collection of the user ID, the restriction type information, and the restriction reference information is also associated with the history information. The history information indicates that there is information about the number of approvals per month or the current value of the approved amount for the first user to which the history information is associated. As will be described later, whether or not the first type of user who is regarded as the setting target of the restriction information exceeds the restriction criterion is determined based on the history information and the restriction reference information associated with the first type of user.

In addition, the initial value of the value of the history information is "0". Also, the value as the history information is reset every month.

Referring back to Fig. 5, the restriction control processing unit F7 performs control based on the restriction information set by the restriction setting processing unit F6 so that the second type of user made by the first type of user purchases the desired product. The account processing operation will be restricted.

Specifically, the restriction control processing unit F7 determines whether the first user is regarded as the restriction information when the second user purchases the desired product by the first user. The first type of user to set the object. That is, it is determined whether the user ID of the first type of user exists in the restriction management information I4. Then, if it is considered to be limited The first type of user who sets the information, the restriction control processing unit F7 determines the first based on the history information and the restriction reference information associated with the first type of user in the restriction management information I4. Whether the user exceeds the limit of the limit indicated by the limit reference information. Specifically, in the case where the restriction type is type A, it is determined that the number of approvals per month under the current status indicated by the history information corresponding to the first type of user is established (excluding the number of times of the approval operation) ), whether it is more than the number of approvals per month indicated by the restriction reference information. Moreover, in the case where the restriction type is the type B, it is determined that the approved amount of each month indicated by the history information corresponding to the first type of user is added, and the second approved operation is added. Whether the amount of the user's purchase of the desired item is more than the amount of the approved amount per month indicated by the restriction reference information.

If it is determined that the restriction criterion indicated by the restriction reference information has been exceeded, the restriction control processing unit F7 does not accept the approval operation, and regards the approval as NG. Specifically, in this example, the purchase button b1 of the second user who has been approved to operate the purchase of the desired item is not activated, and the second user who purchases the desired item by the second user does not. The purchase operation is maintained in an infeasible state.

Thereby, based on the restriction information set by the restriction setting processing unit F6, the check-out processing operation involving the second type of user purchase of the desired item by the first type of user is restricted.

[1-4. Processing procedure]

Next, the procedure for the specific processing to be executed in order to realize the functions of the second user who purchases the purchase fee for the desired product described in the above description will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 to 18. Further, the processing shown in these flowcharts is executed by the CPU 101 of the shopping server 3a in accordance with a program stored in a memory device such as the storage unit 108.

Fig. 14 is a diagram showing the processing involved in setting the restriction information. The processing shown in the figure is started in response to the fact that the first type of user has made a request to restrict the information setting web page pr.

In FIG. 14, the shopping server 3a (CPU 101), as the presentation processing of the restriction information setting web page pr of step S101, performs display restriction for the user terminal 4 of the first type of user who has made the above-mentioned prompt request. Information processing page pr required processing. Specifically, based on the stored information of the second user DB3d, the first type of user belonging to the same group as the first type of user who has made the above-mentioned prompt request is defined, and the first type defined The name information of the user is obtained by the first type of user DB3c. Then, generating information on the obtained name information and the type of restriction to be prompted according to each name information, a check box cba, cbb, an input box bia, a bib, and a setting button b3, as explained in FIG. The aspect is configured to limit the webpage data of the information setting webpage pr, and send the webpage data to the user terminal 4 of the above.

Next, in step S102, the shopping server 3a waits until the input information to the restriction information setting web page pr is received by the user terminal 4 as described above. In addition, the restriction information setting page pr loses The incoming information is transmitted from the user terminal 4 in response to the operation of the setting button b3.

When the input information of the restriction information setting web page pr has been received, the shopping server 3a updates the restriction management information I4 based on the input information in step S103. That is, based on the received input information, the user ID of the first type of user who is deemed to be the target of the restriction information, the type of restriction to be set, and the restriction reference information are obtained, and the first type of use is obtained. The user ID of the user is stored in the restriction information DB 3h by associating the acquired restriction type and the restriction reference information.

The shopping server 3a ends the processing shown in Fig. 14 in accordance with the execution of the processing of step S103.

Figure 15 is a diagram showing the processing corresponding to the merchandise input made by the second user to the shopping basket.

In FIG. 15, the shopping server 3a waits until the product input operation to the shopping basket by the second user in step S201 is performed, and when the product input operation is performed, in step S202, based on the The two types of user DB3d store information to define the first type of user associated with the second user. That is, the user ID of the first type of user is obtained.

In the subsequent step S203, the shopping server 3a establishes a connection to the first type of user who has defined the shopping basket into the product. That is, the product ID of the product that the second user puts into the shopping basket is obtained, and the product ID and the use of the first type of user defined in step S202 are obtained. The ID is associated and stored in the related establishment information DB 3g.

In response to the progress of the association establishment processing of step S203, the shopping server 3a performs processing for transmitting a checkout approval request mail to the first user defined in step S204.

In other words, it is used to send an e-mail containing the text information required for the check-out approval for the purchase price of the product on which the above-mentioned operation has been put into operation, to the mail of the second user who has performed the input operation. The processing required for the address. In addition, the process of step S204 may be a process of actually transmitting an email, or may be a process of adding an email to a delivery list or the like, and performing an email delivery reservation or a delivery instruction.

The shopping server 3a ends the processing shown in Fig. 15 in accordance with the execution of the processing of step S204.

Figure 16 is a process involved in the prompt of the first user's shopping basket page (the first type of user shopping basket page pb1).

In FIG. 16, the shopping server 3a waits until the prompt request of the first user's shopping basket webpage (the first type of user shopping basket webpage pb1) in step S301 is performed, and if the prompt request is made, In step S302, information of the goods in the shopping basket input of the first type of user is obtained. The information of the product in the shopping basket of the first type of user is obtained based on the first purchase desired product management information I1 stored in the first shopping basket item DB3e. In addition, sometimes the first type of user's shopping basket is not in the market, and at this time, information is deemed to be absent.

In the subsequent step S303, the shopping server 3a is based on The second user DB3d stores information to determine whether there is a second user associated with the first user.

If it is determined that the second type of user associated with the first type of user is not present, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S305, based on the information of the item in the shopping basket of the first type of user. The prompt processing of the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 is performed. In other words, the webpage data of the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 in which the purchase button b1 is placed in the product of the shopping basket is generated, and only the product of the shopping basket of the first type of user is posted as the published product. The web page information is sent to the user terminal 4 of the first type of user. In addition, in the case where the above-mentioned information indicating that there is no such commodity has been obtained, the first user shopping basket page pb1 which does not have the product of the shopping basket and the purchase button b1 will be presented, and this matter will not be described again. .

Moreover, in step S303, if it is determined that the second type of user associated with the first type of user is present, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S304 to determine the item/user association establishment information I3. Is there a user ID for the first user?

If it is determined that the user ID of the first type of user does not exist, the shopping server 3a executes the prompting process of step S305 described above.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the user ID of the first type of user is present, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S306, and based on the information of the product and the product of the shopping basket of the first type of user. / User related information in the establishment information I3 to establish a connection with the first type of user, and execute the prompt of the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 Reason. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 before, the first user's shopping basket input product and purchase button b1 and the product/user connection establishment information I3 are associated with the first user. The product and approval button b2 is the web page data of the first type of user shopping basket page pb1 that is configured, and the web page information is transmitted to the user terminal 4 of the first type of user.

In addition, at this time, in the case where the above-mentioned information indicating that there is no such commodity has been obtained, the first user's shopping basket page of the first user's shopping basket and the purchase button b1 are not posted. Pb1 will be prompted, this matter will not be repeated.

Further, in the presentation processing of step S306, in the product/user association establishment information I3, when the product associated with the first type of user is not associated with the approver user ID, it becomes The first type of user shopping basket page pb1, which replaces the approval button b2 and is changed to the aforementioned approval confirmation information Is, will be prompted.

The shopping server 3a ends the processing shown in FIG. 16 in accordance with the presentation processing of step S306 or the execution of the presentation processing of the previous step S305.

Fig. 17 is a process corresponding to the operation of the approval button b2.

In FIG. 17, the shopping server 3a waits for the operation of the approval button b2 in step S401, and when the approval button b2 is operated, determines in step S402 whether or not the first type of user is in the restriction management information I4. The user ID of the first user who has performed the operation of the approval button b2 exists. This is equivalent to determining whether the first user is about the checkout The operation is a user who has been set to limit.

If it is determined that the user ID of the first type of user is present, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S403 to perform analysis processing regarding the restriction. Specifically, in the analysis processing of step S403, the control type, the restriction reference information, and the history information corresponding to the user ID of the first type of user in the restriction management information I4 are acquired. Further, in the analysis processing of step S403, if the restriction type is type B, the information used in the determination processing of the next step S404 is the calculation of the approved amount of each month indicated by the history information. The amount of the second user who has been approved for this operation to purchase the purchase price of the desired product (the amount for judgment).

In the subsequent step S404, the shopping server 3a determines whether or not the limit reference is exceeded. Specifically, as the determination processing of step S404, if the restriction type acquired in the analysis processing of step S403 is type A, it is determined that the monthly approval of the current status indicated by the history information acquired in step S403 is determined. The number of times is equal to or greater than the number of acceptable times per month indicated by the restriction reference information acquired in step S403. When the type of restriction acquired in step S403 is type B, it is determined whether or not the amount of determination calculated in step S403 is greater than the amount of approval per month indicated by the restriction reference information acquired in step S403. Still more.

In addition, as will be understood from the following description, the history information is updated in step S406. Therefore, in the case where the restriction type is the type A in step S404, the above-mentioned "recognition time of each month indicated by the history information" is used. The number is the number of times that the approval operation is not included (that is, if the number of approvals is "3" if the approval operation is accepted, the monthly approval of the current status indicated by the history information is recorded. The number of times is "2").

If it is determined in step S404 that the restriction criterion has been exceeded, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S405, executes the approval NG processing, and ends the processing shown in FIG. As an approved NG treatment, the approval operation is not accepted, and the treatment required to recognize the approval as NG is performed. Specifically, for example, the purchase button b1 of the second user who has been approved to purchase the desired product is not activated, so that the purchase operation is performed by the second user who purchases the desired product for the second user. Maintain a state of infeasibility.

Moreover, if it is determined in step S404 that the restriction criterion has not been exceeded, the shopping server 3a proceeds to step S406 to perform the history information update processing. That is, regarding the history information corresponding to the user ID of the first type of users in the restriction management information I4, when the restriction type is type A, the value of the history information is updated to be obtained in step S403. The value of the history information is added to the value after "1". When the restriction type is type B, the value of the history information is updated to the value of the determination amount calculated in step S403.

In response to the execution of the update processing of step S406, the shopping server 3a performs registration of the approver user ID of the product/user association establishment information I3 and the information cancellation scheduled date in step S407. That is, the item ID in the item/user association creation information I3 The product ID of the product in which the approval operation is detected in step S401 is the user ID of the first user who will perform the approval operation, and the information cancellation date is now The date added to the date specified above is added to the date.

In the subsequent step S408, the shopping server 3a executes processing required to transmit an approval notification mail to the second user. Specifically, for the second user who inputs the product in which the approval operation is detected in step S401 to the shopping basket, the purpose of transmitting the checkout including the purchase fee for the product is approved, and indicates The processing required for the email of the first user of the approved user.

Further, the process of step S408 may be a process of actually transmitting an e-mail, or may be a process of adding an e-mail to a delivery list or the like, and performing an e-mail communication reservation or a delivery instruction.

The shopping server 3a ends the processing shown in Fig. 17 in accordance with the execution of the processing of step S408.

Further, in the previous step S402, if it is determined that there is no user ID of the first type of user (the first type of user who performed the operation of the approval button b2) in the restriction management information I4, the shopping servo is present. The device 3a skips the steps S403 to S406 and advances the processing to step S407. In other words, in the case where the restriction on the checkout processing operation is a user who is not set, the first type of user is based on the analysis processing of the restriction management information I4 or the exceeding determination processing and the restriction management information I4. The update process of the history information is skipped, and the user ID of the first user who establishes the information I3 for the product/user relationship (authorized use) The registration of the user ID), the registration of the information cancellation scheduled date (S407), and the processing required to transmit the approval notification mail to the second user (S408) are executed.

In addition, in the above, although the approval notice is an example performed only for the second type of user, if the other type of user belonging to the group to which the first type of the user belongs is present, These first users can also be notified of the approval.

Figure 18 is a process corresponding to the purchase operation performed by the second user.

In FIG. 18, the shopping server 3a waits for the purchase operation of the second user in step S501, and proceeds to step S502 if the purchase operation is performed, and defines based on the product/user association establishment information I4. The first type of user approved for checkout of goods that have been purchased for operation.

In the subsequent step S503, the shopping server 3a performs processing for transmitting order information for setting the first user defined as the checkout. Specifically, the order information is generated by setting the credit card number of the checkout person to the credit card number of the first type of user defined above, and transmitting the order information to the corresponding shop terminal 5 (the purchase operation is already The processing required for the store terminal 5) of the store of the goods to be sold. The processing of the step S503 may be a process of actually transmitting the order information, or may be a process of adding the order information to the mailing list or the like, and performing the mailing reservation or the mailing instruction of the order information.

The shopping server 3a ends the processing shown in Fig. 18 in accordance with the execution of the processing of step S503.

In addition, in the above, it is mentioned that the first type of user is set as the checkout name, and the checkout control process for the second user to purchase the desired item is based on the approval button made by the first type of user. An example of the operation of b2 is performed. In other words, the "input information about the checkout" requested for the first type of user in order to perform the checkout control process for the second user to purchase the desired item is the operation input information set to the approval button b2. The situation.

However, the "input information about the checkout" is not limited to the operation input information of the approval button b2. For example, instead of prompting the approval button b2, the "checkout" button is prompted, and once the "checkout" button is operated by the first type of user, the process proceeds to the checkout procedure for the second user to purchase the desired item. The webpage, in response to the operation input required by the first type of user to perform the checkout procedure on the checkout webpage, activates the purchase button b1 for the second user to purchase the desired item (ie, It can be purchased, and it can be used in such a way. In this case, the "input information about the checkout" is equivalent to the input information in the checkout procedure page of the above.

[1-5. Summary of the first embodiment]

As described above, the information processing device (shopping server 3a) of the first embodiment has a connection establishment relationship information storage unit (connection establishment information DB 3g), and the memory indicates that the first type of user is related to the second type of user. Establish a relationship between the establishment of the relationship; and the product registration department (product registration processing department F1), with each user to go to the shopping basket When the product is put into operation, the product that has been put into operation is registered as the purchase of the desired product, and the purchase of the desired product management information is performed; and the product/user association establishment unit (product/user association establishment processing unit F2) is in progress. In the case where the user who operates the product is the second user, the first type of user associated with the second user is established with reference to the related relationship information, and the second user's purchase hope is obtained. Goods are related to each other.

Further, the input information receiving unit (input information receiving processing unit F4) is configured to input information about the checkout by the first type of user who purchases the desired product for the second user. And the checkout control unit (the checkout control processing unit F5) performs the purchase operation in response to the second user's purchase of the desired product for the second user who has accepted the input information, and performs control. The settlement process for purchasing the purchase price of the desired product for the second user is performed based on the input information about the checkout made by the first user.

Further, a restriction setting unit (limit setting processing unit F6) is further provided for establishing a relationship with the second user based on the operation of the first user who establishes a connection with the second user. The first type of user of at least one of the users sets restriction information of the checkout processing operation involved in the purchase of the desired item by the second user; and the restriction control unit (limitation control processing unit F7) is based on The information is restricted to be controlled so that the checkout processing operation involved in the purchase of the second user by the first type of user is limited.

If it is based on the above, it is purchased by the second user. By entering the desired product management information, it is possible to grasp the purchase trend of the product as a specific user layer of the second user.

Further, by the restriction control unit described above, it is possible to prevent the first type of user (for example, grandfather, etc.) from buying goods in excess of the back to the second user (for example, a child).

Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus of the first embodiment, the first type of user who can perform the checkout processing operation on the purchase order of the product and the second type of user whose checkout processing operation is restricted is the managed electronic The business transaction system can easily grasp the purchase trend of the second user, and can seek to prevent the first type of user from buying goods to the second user's e-commerce transaction system.

Further, according to the information processing apparatus of the first embodiment, since the first type of user can grasp and purchase the desired product of the second type of user in the list of the purchased desired products, it is not necessary for approval. Each time, the second user's purchase wish list is accessed, and it is also possible to reduce the trouble of the first type of user involved in the checkout of the purchase fee.

Further, the information processing device according to the first embodiment includes a notification control unit that controls the product input operation to the shopping basket in response to the second user, so that the second type of use is performed. The notification of the first user to establish a connection will be made.

In this way, the fact that the goods made by the second user are put into operation can be quickly notified to the first user.

Therefore, it is possible to shorten the checkout approval of the first type of user, etc. The wait for the previous second user is entered for the checkout entry.

Then, in the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment, the notification control unit performs control so that the notification of the checkout of the purchase fee for the purchase of the desired product of the second user is prompted to be notified.

Thereby, the content of the notification of the first type of user can be clarified.

Moreover, when the second type of user establishes a relationship with the first type of users, the action becomes an inverse bid, and the second type of user can be entertained by shopping with the first type of user associated with the user. .

Further, the information processing device includes: a product presentation unit that presents each user with a purchase of a desired product into a shopping basket, and presents the product to the user; The prompting unit is configured to purchase the desired item of the first type of user and the second type of user when the first user has already established a purchase of the desired item of the second type of user. It is ideal to purchase the desired product and give it a hint.

Thereby, the first type of user can confirm the purchase of the desired item by the second user in his own shopping basket.

Further, the information processing device according to the first embodiment includes a notification information presentation unit that has accepted the first use among the purchase desired products of the second user who has established a connection with the first user. The purchase of the desired product for the checkout input information will have accepted the purpose of the input information for the checkout, and is used to notify The input information for the checkout is the information of the first type of user who has been accepted, and the first type of user who has established a connection with the second user who has performed the operation of purchasing the product of the desired product.

Thereby, the first user who has accepted the input information about the checkout can confirm whether the input information about the checkout of himself has been accepted.

Moreover, in the case where the first type of user is associated with the second type of user, the input information about the checkout is the first type of user other than the accepted one, and the other first type of user The input information about the checkout is the purpose of acceptance, and the information about the first type of user who has been notified that the input information for the checkout is accepted will be prompted, so the parent or grandfather or grandmother can easily Master the buying status (who bought what). In the case of this example, each of the first users can grasp each other's situation by purchasing the desired product, so that the list can be used as a communication tool through the purchase of the second user's product. function.

<2. Second embodiment> [2-1. Summary of Network System]

Fig. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the network system 1A (EC system) of the second embodiment.

In the following description, the same portions as those already described will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described.

The difference from the network system 1 shown in Figure 1 is to replace the shopping site. The operation system 3 was changed to set the shopping website operation system 3A. The shopping website operation system 3A replaces the shopping server 3a with the shopping server 3aA, and adds the non-recognized product information DB3i, which is different from the shopping website operation system 3.

In addition, the information about the non-recognized product information DB3i can be explained by the following description.

Further, the hardware configuration of the shopping server 3aA and the computer device that does not require the approval of the product information DB3i is the same as that of the previous FIG.

[2-2. Outline of Process as Second Embodiment]

Fig. 20 is a functional block diagram showing the function of the second user of the shopping server 3aA purchasing the purchase fee for the purchase of the desired item.

The difference from the shopping server 3a in the first embodiment is that the unnecessary product setting processing unit F8 is added.

The product setting processing unit F8 is not required to be based on the operation of the first type of user who establishes a connection with the second user, and the item condition information If is not required to be recognized, which is used for the second type of user. The approval for the checkout of the purchase of the desired product is not necessary for the approval of the goods, and the conditions are required.

Specifically, the unrecognized product setting processing unit F8 is required to present a non-recognized product condition setting web page required for setting the non-recognized product condition information If to the first type of user. The non-recognized product condition setting webpage is set up, and the second user can establish a related relationship. A web page that a user requests for a prompt cannot be prompted by another first user.

In this example, as the unconditional product condition information If, it is possible to set the type information of the product that does not need to be approved. That is, the non-recognized product condition setting webpage is designed to accept the input information of the first type of user for the type information of the product that does not need to be recognized, and the webpage for setting the instruction.

Further, the non-recognized product condition setting web page of this example is designed to accept a web page for setting instructions for the first type of user who is not required to check the purchase fee of the product. For example, if the first type of user who has requested the web page without the need to approve the product condition setting exists, if there is another first type of user belonging to the same group, then the product condition setting page is not required to be recognized. The first type of user belonging to the group is notified of the designation and setting instruction of the first type of user who does not need to check the purchase fee of the approved product.

The unrestricted product setting processing unit F8 does not require the approval of the product condition by the first type of user if the first type of user does not need to approve the product condition information If the user does not need to approve the product condition setting page. The information If is associated with the user ID of the second user who has established the connection of the first type of user who does not need to approve the product condition setting page, and the unrecognized product information shown in FIG. 19 is memorized. DB3i.

Figure 21 is a diagram showing the construction of the unrecognized commodity information DB3i by the function of the unrecognized commodity setting processing section F8 described above. There is no need to recognize the example of commodity management information I5.

As shown in the figure, the product management information I5 is not required to be associated with each user ID of the second user, and the information of the non-recognized product type that does not require the approved product condition information If is established. News.

In the case of this example, for the product management information I5 that does not need to be recognized, the user ID of the second user and the information of the type of the unrecognized item and the user ID of the checkout are associated. The checkout user ID is a user ID of the first type of user who is set as the checkout person who performs the check-in for the purchase price of the unrecognized product in the unrecognized product condition setting page.

In other words, the product setting processing unit F8 does not need to be approved, and the first type of information that does not require an approved product type and the purchase fee for an unrecognized product is required to be carried out by setting a web page without requiring approval of the product condition. The user's setting instruction, and the information indicating that the type of the product that has been instructed is not required, and the user ID (the checkout user ID) of the first type of user that has been instructed, and the The first type of user who does not need to recognize the prompt of the product condition setting page requires the user ID of the second type of user to be established, and the correspondence is established and stored in the unrecognized product information DB3i.

In the second embodiment, when the second type of user inputs the unrecognized item into the shopping basket, the second user's second-hand user's shopping basket page pb2 is prompted to be The purchase button b2 of the approved product indicates the purchase button b2 in the activated state. Thereby, the second user is directed to the product regardless of whether there is a first user or not If you accept it, you can purchase it.

In the second embodiment, the checkout control processing unit F5 controls when the second user performs a purchase operation for the non-recognized product, so that the checkout process for the product is The second user is created in the name of the first user to be associated.

Specifically, the checkout control processing unit F5 in the present example controls so that the checkout process of the unrecognized item is performed by the first type of user by setting the web page without the need to recognize the product condition. The name of the first user of the indication is set and is performed.

[2-3. Processing procedure]

The procedure of the specific processing to be executed in order to realize the function of the second embodiment described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of Figs. 22 and 23 .

The processing shown in FIG. 22 and FIG. 23 is executed by the CPU 101 of the shopping server 3a in accordance with a program stored in a storage device such as the storage unit 108.

Fig. 22 is a flow chart showing the processing involved in the presentation of the second type of user shopping basket page pb2 in the second embodiment.

In FIG. 22, the shopping server 3aA (CPU 101) waits in step S601 until the product input operation to the shopping basket by the second user is performed, and when the product input operation is performed, in the step In S602, it is determined whether or not the user ID of the user exists in the approved product management information I5. This is equivalent to determining whether or not there is no need to approve the product for the second user.

In step S602, if it is determined that there is no user ID of the second user in the approved product management information I5, the shopping server 3aA proceeds to step S605 to perform the detection on the commodity (step S601) The purchase button b1 for detecting the product to be put into operation is set to the prompt processing of the second user shopping basket page pb2 in the non-activated state.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S602 that the user ID of the second user does not exist in the approved product management information I5, the shopping server 3aA proceeds to step S603 to analyze the product type. deal with. That is, the information of the type of the product detected to be put into operation in step S601 is obtained by the product DB 3b, and the user ID of the second user is not required to be recognized in the product management information I5. The processing of the information of the type of the product is not required to be recognized.

In the subsequent step S604, the shopping server 3aA determines whether or not the product (the item in which the input operation is detected in step S601) is an unrecognized item.

If it is determined that the product does not require an approved product, the shopping server 3aA proceeds to the previous step S605 to execute a presentation process of the second user shopping basket page pb2 in which the purchase button b1 is set to the inactive state.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the product does not need to be approved, the shopping server 3aA proceeds to step S606, and executes a prompt for setting the second user shopping basket page pb2 regarding the purchase button b1 of the product to the activated state. deal with.

The shopping server 3aA is prompted by the step S605 Processing, or execution of the prompt processing of step S606, ends the processing shown in FIG.

Fig. 23 is a flow chart showing the processing corresponding to the purchase operation by the second user in the second embodiment.

In FIG. 23, the same processes as those shown in FIG. 18 are denoted by the same step numbers, and description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 23, when the shopping server 3aA has a purchase operation by the second user in step S501, the process proceeds to step S701, and it is determined whether or not the item that has been purchased is an unrecognized item. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the user ID of the second user who has performed the purchase operation in the approved product management information I5 exists, and if the user ID does not exist, the determination result that the product is not required to be recognized is obtained. Further, if it is determined that the user ID is present, it is determined whether the type of the product that does not need to be recognized in the product management information I5 and the user ID is not required to be recognized, and whether it is the same as the type of the product that has been purchased. If the result is inconsistent, the result of the judgment that does not require the recognized product is obtained, and if it is consistent, the result of the judgment is that the product is not required to be recognized.

If it is determined in step S701 that the product is not required to be recognized, the shopping server 3aA proceeds to step S702, and based on the non-recognized item management information I5, the checkout of the item that has been purchased is the first type of use. To define. In other words, in the case where the product management information I5 is not required, the account user ID corresponding to the user ID of the second user who has performed the purchase operation is acquired. At this time, the login information about the user ID "u2020" shown in FIG. 21 is the same as the second. In the case where the user has a plurality of pieces of information that do not require the type of the approved product to be associated (that is, if the same second type of user has been made plural times without setting the type of the approved product), The information of the type of the product to be approved is obtained by establishing the corresponding approver user ID corresponding to the type of the product that has been determined to be the type of the product that has been purchased. Thereby, when the setting of each type of non-recognized item to be performed by the same second type of user is performed, it is possible to correspond to the case where the first type of user is separately set as the checkout person.

The shopping server 3aA, if the first type of user who is the checkout person is defined in step S702, advances the processing to step S503. By this, the checkout of the unrecognized item is performed in the name of the first type of user who is set as the checkout person in the above-mentioned unrecognized product condition setting page.

In the case where it is determined in the previous step S701 that the product is not required to be approved, the shopping server 3aA advances the processing to step S502. Thereby, if the goods that have been purchased are not required to be approved, the checkout will be made in the name of the first user who has approved the product.

In the above, the case where the information of the type of the product is not required to be recognized is not exemplified, but the information of the keyword can be set as the information of the keyword (if the product is not required) The product containing the keyword in the name is regarded as the product that does not need to be recognized, and the information of the store (the display product of the store is regarded as not requiring the approved product). Or you can set the item ID of the item you don't want to approve. Etc., it can be set as a information system that does not require approval of the condition information If.

Further, in the above, although the checkout person who does not need to approve the product is designed to allow the first type of user to make the setting instruction without specifying the setting of the product condition information If, this is not essential. For example, a checkout person who does not need to approve the product may be set to be pre-determined among the first type of users who do not need to approve the setting of the product condition information If, or the first type of users in the same group. The first type of user can consider various setting methods.

[2-4. Summary of Second Embodiment]

As described above, the information processing device (shopping server 3aA) of the second embodiment includes a condition information setting unit (not required for the product setting processing unit F8), and is based on the first connection with the second user. The user's operation is to set the information that does not require the approval of the commodity condition, and is used to condition the purchase of the desired product for the second user without the approval of the checkout by the first user. Give it what you need.

Then, the checkout control unit controls the purchase of the desired product based on the second user who is determined to be equivalent to the product that does not need to be approved, and is controlled by the second user, regardless of whether or not the product is approved. It is carried out in the name of the first type of user who is associated with the second user.

In this way, the first type of user does not need to be approved by the first type of user.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden on the first type of user involved in the approval.

In addition, as an unrecognized product, it is conceivable. For example, in the case where the second type of user is a child, it may be set as a product that needs to be supplemented in school life such as stationery.

<3. Program and Memory Media>

The shopping servers 3a and 3aA which are embodiments of the information processing apparatus according to the present invention have been described above, but the program of the embodiment is such that the information processing apparatus (CPU or the like) executes the processing of the shopping servers 3a and 3aA. Program.

In the program of the embodiment, the information processing device realizes that the product registration function is performed, and each user has entered the product in the shopping basket, and the product that has been put into operation is registered as a desired product. Buying the desired product management information; and establishing the function related to the product/user, in the case where the user who has performed the pre-commodity operation is the second user, the reference indicates the first user and the second user. Correlation relationship is established to establish relationship information, and the first type of user associated with the second user is connected with the purchase of the desired product of the second user; and the input information receiving function is The input information about the checkout made by the first type of user who purchases the desired product of the second type of user is accepted; and the checkout control function is applied to the second type of user. The second user who inputs the information beforehand purchases the desired product and performs the purchase operation, and controls The billing process for purchasing the purchase price of the desired product for the second user is performed based on the input information about the checkout made by the first user; and the restriction setting function is Setting the first user of at least one of the plurality of first users associated with the second user based on the operation of the first type of user associated with the second user The restriction information of the two users' purchases of the desired goods involved in the checkout processing operation; and the restriction control function are based on the pre-restriction information to control so that the first user makes the second user The check-out processing operation of the purchase of the desired item is limited.

That is, the program corresponds to, for example, a program for causing the information processing apparatuses such as the shopping servers 3a and 3aA to execute the processing described in FIGS. 14 to 19, 22, and 23.

With such a program, the above-described information processing apparatus as the shopping servers 3a, 3aA can be realized.

Then, such a program can be pre-stored in an HDD as a memory medium built in a computer device or the like, or in a ROM in a microcomputer having a CPU. Alternatively, it may be temporarily or permanently stored (memorized) in a removable memory medium such as a semiconductor memory, a memory card, a compact disc, a magneto-optical disk, or a magnetic disk. Moreover, such a removable memory medium can be provided by means of a so-called packaged software.

Moreover, such a program can be downloaded from a downloadable website through a network such as a LAN or an Internet, in addition to being installed from a removable memory medium to a personal computer or the like.

<4. Modifications>

The present invention is not limited to the specific examples described above, and various modifications can be considered.

For example, although the above method is based on the premise of credit card settlement, the present invention is based on the use of other methods (such as bank transfer, withholding, virtual prepaid card, etc.) as a checkout method. It can also be ideally applied.

Moreover, although the above description exemplifies the restriction information of the checkout processing operation involved in the purchase of the desired product by the second user, the first type of user who establishes a connection with the same second user can set the indication. However, the restriction information may only be part of the first type of user who is associated with the same second user. For example, one part of the first type of user who is associated with the same second type of user is set as the upper level user, and the other is set as the lower level user, and only the upper level user can restrict the information to the lower level user. Setting instructions.

Further, although the above description has been made, the restriction information is a case where the number of approvals per month or the amount of money can be approved. However, it is of course possible to set other restriction information such as a setting for prohibiting approval.
