Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a product having a short life cycle, such as a fresh product having a short life cycle such as flowers and fruits and vegetables, a service product such as a ticket having an expiration date, and an airline ticket having a limited use date. A computer stores, in a computer-readable manner, a commodity transaction apparatus, a commodity transaction system, a commodity transaction method, and a processing step for executing the commodity transaction method, which are used in a transaction transaction of various commodities that lose or decrease in commodity value after passing. Storage media,
The present invention relates to a merchandise transaction device, a merchandise transaction system, a merchandise transaction method, and a storage medium that are effective for selling goods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, transactions for buying and selling fresh flowers are carried out at wholesale markets. That is, the buyer goes to the site,
Observe the actual goods sold by the seller and understand what kind of fresh flowers are sold and how much. Then, if the desired fresh flower is sold, a transaction including the price and the like is performed with the seller. Also, like this
In addition to the transaction for procuring the fresh flowers desired by the buyer, for example, in order to slide the commodity price in the auction, a transaction called "pre-emption" in which the buyer takes in advance the commodity (actual item) before the auction is also performed. . Alternatively, in order to cope with an emergency transaction when a fresh flower is urgently needed (funeral service or the like), a “shipping” is also performed in which a seller removes a specified amount from the received goods in advance. Therefore, the fresh flowers that have actually arrived are the ones with buyers, and the remaining (excluding unsold goods) excluding the pre-emption and delivery.
Will be auctioned.

[0003]

However, in the past, there has been no systematized transaction for buying and selling commodities such as fresh flowers as described above. Therefore, there are the following problems.

[0004] (1) The seller trades goods (actual goods) received from producers in the wholesale market, but it is necessary to know in advance whether the goods will be available to the buyer and how much can be cut off. I couldn't make a sales plan. In addition, the received goods are judged by selling, prefetching, retrieving, auctioning, etc., but all these actions are performed only when the goods actually exist or when the shipment from the producer is confirmed. I couldn't do that. Therefore, the arrival,
It was not possible to make a sales plan in consideration of products that can be judged in each process such as sales, preemption, shipping, and bidding. This is especially true for products that are sold, such as fresh flowers, that lose quality after a certain period of time.
Sales, preemption and reloading, preparation for bidding, and post-auction loading damages caused damage, so the greater the damage, the lower the price had to be. In addition, when such products are sold in large quantities, the damage received increases accordingly.

[0005] (2) There is a case in which merchandise is traded in accordance with an order from a buyer before the merchandise is actually received (shipping is confirmed but no actual merchandise exists). In this transaction, a seller trades an order from a buyer trader by telephone or facsimile, etc., and assigns shipping information of a product producing area to the order. However, in such a transaction, the seller was merely an intermediary, and the producer was not directly involved in the transaction of the product. That is, the producer is not limited to such a transaction, and cannot participate in the sale of the product. As a result, the producer cannot make a production plan for the product according to the sales situation. In addition, there is also a problem that, depending on the seller's assignment of goods, the ordered goods are not evenly distributed to all the buyers and are biased toward a specific buyer.

(3) In order to obtain desired products, a buyer has to actually go to a site (a wholesale market or the like) at a fixed time. At this time, it is sufficient that the desired product is sold, but if it is not sold, it is useless. In particular, products such as fresh flowers and the like are susceptible to natural conditions such as weather and disasters, so that planned products are often not sold as planned. Therefore, buyers have limited opportunities to procure commodities, and often make ad hoc purchases, making it impossible to make a procurement plan.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to efficiently carry out transaction of goods which can involve not only sellers and buyers but also producers. Products trading equipment, products trading systems, product trading methods,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a storage medium in which processing steps for executing the commodity trading method are readable by a computer.

The coordination function 432 is used to cooperate with a system belonging to the participant side, for example, by notifying information on the previous transaction in cooperation with the system of the retail store to which it belongs or the in-house sales system. Function.

Here, the terminal device 400 on the trader side is provided with the own account management function 431, the cooperation function 432, and the storage function 440, but these functions are not necessarily provided on the terminal device 400 on the trader side. It is not necessary to provide them, and instead of providing them on the terminal device 400 on the trader side, they may be provided on the terminal device 300 on the server side.

Here, first, the flow of various processes by the flower arrangement system 100 as described above, for example, (A) transaction processing based on order information and (B) sales information between a buyer and a seller. A description will be given of the flow of the transaction processing based on the plurality of order information and the plurality of sales information and the transaction processing based on the plurality of sales information.

For example, a WWW browser serving as an interface function 420
It is assumed that various data transmitted via the server side are displayed on the screen. Then, it is assumed that the processing is advanced by a user of the terminal device operating on the screen using a mouse, a keyboard, or the like. For example, when a certain trader uses the fresh flower trading system 100 to perform each of the transaction processes (A), (B), and (C), first, the terminal accesses the server side with its own terminal device. A transaction top screen as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 is displayed on the apparatus.

FIG. 3 is a transaction top screen displayed on the buyer side, and includes “order”, “reservation”, “general I”, “general II”, “contract / arrival”, and “collect statistics”. "
Various items such as “notification” and “end” are displayed. On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a transaction top screen displayed when the seller is on the side, and includes “order”, “reservation”, “copy”, “general”, “conclusion / arrival”, “collection statistics”, “ Notice",
Various items such as "end" are displayed.

The display of each item in FIGS. 3 and 4 is such that a process corresponding to the character portion is executed when the character portion is clicked, similarly to the icon function. Here, the characters are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

Then, the user of the terminal device selectively designates (clicks) each item using a mouse or the like. Thereby, processing corresponding to the item specified at this time is executed. For example, when performing the transaction of (A), the item of “order”, when performing the transaction of (B), the item of “reservation”,
When conducting the transaction of (C), “General I” or “General I”
"I" or "General".

(A) Transaction processing based on order information (first
This transaction process is executed in accordance with, for example, a flow shown in FIG.

The buyer selects and designates the item of "order" on the transaction top screen (FIG. 3) of the terminal device. Thereby, the device is in a state where order information can be input. In accordance with the procurement (purchase) plan, the buyer enters the order information, which is the desired purchase information, such as the desired purchase date, the item of the fresh flower, the variety, the color, the class, the place of production, the total number, and the price by keyboard. . This information is sent to the server side. As a result, for example, an order information list as shown in FIG. 6 is created on the server side, and is displayed on the screen on the terminal device on the buyer side. Then, on this screen (order information list screen), information such as “total number”, “unselected total number”, and “total amount” are displayed in addition to the order information input by the buyer.
In this way, the buyer trader orders fresh flowers in accordance with the procurement plan on his / her own terminal device. In addition, the "total number" mentioned above,
The “unselected total number”, “total amount”, and the like are obtained by calculation on the server side, transmitted to the terminal device, and displayed.

The seller refers to the order information issued by the buyer on the screen on the terminal device, and determines whether the buyer can ship the desired flower according to the sales (production) plan. Is determined, and if it can be shipped, it is input as keyboard information as application information. This application information is sent to the server. In this way, the seller applies for the order information issued by the buyer on its own terminal device. It should be noted that the seller can apply for all of the total number desired by the buyer, or can apply for a part thereof. Alternatively, it is possible to apply for more than the total number desired by the buyer.

The buyer trader refers again to the order information list shown in FIG. 6 on the screen at his own terminal device. The order information list at this time reflects the application information issued by the seller by the server side. Specifically, for example, the number of orders of sellers who have applied for the order information is displayed in the “application” column of the order information list screen. By designating the "O" icon portion next to "" with a mouse, the detailed information of the seller who applied for the order information can be referred to. When the buyer refers to such an order information list screen, the buyer selects and selects the desired seller from the sellers who have applied for the order information, and makes a reservation, and inputs the reservation as keyboard information as order information. I do. This order information is sent to the server side and registered.

When a contract is established between the buyer and the seller on the server side, the server sends a contract notice to the seller. Upon receipt of this, the seller recognizes that the transaction with the buyer has been confirmed. Incidentally, the seller may recognize that the transaction of the buyer has been confirmed by referring to, for example, a list of the contract information on the screen of the terminal device without sending the notice of the contract.

At this time, this contract is reflected in the “unselected” column in the order information list shown in FIG. 6 on the buyer side. For example, if the desired total number of certain desired flowers is 100, and all 100 flowers are confirmed in this contract, the unselected number, which is the number of unconfirmed flowers, is 0. If 40 of the 100 are determined, the unselected number is 60. Further, when the number of applicants applied by the seller is larger than the desired total number, the unselected number is allowed to be displayed in a minus manner, so that the unselected number becomes minus (eg, -60).

Here, after each seller has applied for the order information of the buyer, the buyer selects the desired seller by referring to the applied information (see FIG. 5 above). See, for example, the buyer trader may additionally register new order information again without making a selection at this time. Alternatively, the previous order information may be deleted and new order information may be registered. In this case, the seller's application as described above is repeatedly applied to the updated order information. Further, when the buyer selects the above application information, all or a part of the application information may be selectable or rejectable.

(B) Transaction processing based on sales information (second transaction processing: reservation relative transaction for sales information based on expected sales volume) Third transaction processing: reservation for sales information based on determined sales volume This transaction processing is performed, for example, as shown in FIG.
It is executed according to the flow shown in FIG.

The seller selects and designates the item of "reservation" on the transaction top screen (FIG. 4) of the own terminal device. As a result, the device enters a state in which sales information can be input. Then, the seller enters the sales information (shipping information), which is the desired sales information, such as the item, variety, color, arrival date, class, production area, producer name, number of boxes, and price of the desired fresh flower by keyboard. . As a result, for example, a shipping information list as shown in FIG. 8 is created and displayed on the screen. This sales information is sent to the server side. In this way, the seller sells fresh flowers on his own terminal device. In addition, "class" is a class for classifying various kinds of fresh flowers, and in this embodiment, "class" is used.

The buyer trader searches his / her own terminal device for sales information issued by the seller trader as shown in FIG. On the keyboard as purchase registration information. At this time, a part of the desired number of boxes can be registered. For example, the number of remaining boxes in the shipping information is 50, and the number of boxes originally desired by the buyer is 20, but only 10 of them can be registered. This purchase registration information is sent to the server. In this way, the purchaser registers the purchase information on the own terminal device with respect to the shipping information issued by the seller.

The seller uses his / her own terminal device to determine the registration status of the buyer on the screen and makes a decision, and makes a contract with the buyer.

The above-described transaction processing (hereinafter referred to as type 1 transaction processing and also referred to as (B1) transaction processing) is not limited to sales by sellers as described above, and may be, for example, a replacement of sellers by wholesale markets. It can be applied to sales.

In this transaction processing, the purchaser can specify the purchase price and conduct the transaction as purchase registration information (hereinafter referred to as type 2 transaction processing,
(It is also called the transaction processing of (B2)). In this transaction processing, for example, in a terminal device on the side of the seller, by executing a predetermined algorithm, based on each purchase price specified by a plurality of buyers, an appropriate buyer, for example, the buyer with the highest purchase price it is possible to automatically determine the skill.

Further, for the remaining 10 boxes in the sales information, the buyer trader registers, for example, 6 boxes as purchase registration information.
In addition, it is also possible to register information indicating that the user purchases even six boxes or less. Thus, for the remaining 10 boxes, even if two buyers of the second party purchase and register 6 boxes each, if the information indicates that they will purchase even 6 boxes or less, 6 boxes for the second party and 4 boxes for the first party box,
It is possible to make a contract.

(C) Transaction processing based on a plurality of purchase information and a plurality of sales information (fourth transaction processing: a transaction in which a plurality of purchase information and a plurality of sales information are simultaneously determined in order from ones that satisfy both conditions simultaneously) This transaction processing is executed, for example, according to the flow shown in FIG. 7 (C).

Here, the transaction processing is divided into two transaction processings (transaction processing of (C1) and transaction processing of (C2)), and these two transaction processings are performed on the buyer side. This corresponds to “general I” and “general II” on the transaction top screen (FIG. 3 above). Then, the transaction processing of (C1) and (C1)
The transaction process 2) differs in the method of purchase registration performed on the sales information issued by the seller when the buyer registers the purchase as described above.

Therefore, if the seller cannot determine all the quantities issued as the sales information as a result of the above-described transaction processing (B), more specifically, if the seller wishes to sell 100 boxes of a certain flower, Regardless, if only 60 boxes of them can be closed with the buyer, 40 boxes will remain. If there is such a missing flower (uncontracted fresh flower), the seller searches for the uncontracted fresh flower on his own terminal device, obtains the information, and obtains the transaction top screen (see FIG. 4 above). By selecting and designating the item "copy" in item (1), the processing shifts to the transaction processing for the flowers that are not sold, that is, the flowers that are not sold among the flowers in the transaction processing of (B1) or (B2). And the seller trader,
In the same manner as the transaction processing of (B), the sales information is input by keyboard. In addition, at this time, if there is a fresh flower to be newly sold, sales information about the flower is also input. At this time, the minimum price information (the minimum sales price value) is also input. Then, such sales information is sent to the server side. In addition, other sellers in the same way, each with its own terminal device,
Enter the sales information of the fresh flowers you want to sell. Then, the sales information of each seller is also sent to the server side. Therefore, sales information of a plurality of sellers exists on the server side.

The buyer refers to the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers on the screen on its own terminal device, and applies the same information to the sales information that meets the desired conditions in the same manner as the transaction processing of (B). At this time, (C1) or (C
The purchase is registered in the transaction processing of 2). That is, in the case of purchase registration in the transaction processing of (C1), the buyer trader selects and designates “general I” on the transaction top screen (FIG. 3) of the own terminal device. As a result, as described above, the device is in a state in which sales information issued by a plurality of sellers can be referred to, and is in a purchase registerable state. Purchase registration here, for example,
In addition to the "item" and "color" of the desired fresh flower, other detailed conditions such as "variety" and "grade" can be specified. Further, the buyer is able to specify such detailed conditions for a plurality of sales information. On the other hand, in the case of purchase registration in the transaction processing of (C2), the buyer trader selects and designates “general II” on the transaction top screen (FIG. 3) of the own terminal device. As a result, similarly to the transaction processing of (C1), the device is in a state in which sales information issued by a plurality of sellers can be referred to and a purchase registration is possible. The condition of only "item" and "color" of fresh flowers can be specified. Then, the purchase registration information as described above is sent to the server side. Similarly, each of the other buyers registers their own terminal device by referring to sales information issued by a plurality of sellers in the transaction processing of (C1) or (C2). Therefore, on the server side, there are sales information issued by a plurality of sellers and purchase registration information issued by a plurality of buyers.

On the server side, by a contract decision processing by a predetermined contract decision algorithm, the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers and the purchase registration information issued by a plurality of buyers satisfy both conditions. The contracts (prices) are determined sequentially from. For example, the contract determination algorithm here determines the contract in the order of the highest purchase price, the shortest input time of the purchase information, and the like, which satisfies the condition of the lowest sales price. Then, the information on the contract decision is notified to the seller and the buyer. The seller and the buyer who have received the information recognize the contract decision on their own terminal devices.

Incidentally, in the above-described contract decision algorithm,
The contract is determined in the order of the desired purchase price or in the early stage of the information input.However, the present invention is not limited to this.For example, the contract is determined in accordance with a priority determined in advance by factors such as the order of the desired purchase quantity and the past transaction size. It may be determined.
Alternatively, a request to purchase a part of the desired purchase quantity if there is a remaining sales quantity may be permitted, and the request may be reflected in the determination of the priority order to determine the contract. So, for example,
In the case where the contract is determined in the order of the desired purchase price, if there is purchase information of the same price, there is a lack of the desired purchase quantity as described above, in the order of larger quantity, earlier information input, or An algorithm of a part or a combination of those having a wide allowable range of purchase conditions on the buyer side such as purchase permission in the case may be used. Also, the condition tolerance of the target product is high (the condition is loose)
In such a case, an algorithm may be added that shifts to the transaction processing of (C) and does not shift to the transaction processing of (C) if the tolerance is low (the conditions are severe).

In addition, the minimum price information (sale minimum price value) is included in the sales information issued by the seller, but the minimum price information may be set to “0” (zero) and a complete sales consignment method may be adopted. Alternatively, another parameter may be used instead of the lower limit price information. For example, information on the minimum number of units sold may be used.

In the transaction processing of C1 and C2, the condition input (detailed condition input in C2, condition input in which the conditions are relaxed in C1) is determined and performed by the buyer. Within each item in advance ("breed",
"Item", "color", etc.) and their contents (for example, if the item is "item", contents of "chrysanthemum", "rose", etc.) are set, and the item desired by the buyer The contents (conditions) may be specified. Specifically, for example, when the commodity to be traded is a vegetable, the conditions of only "varieties" and "standards" and the conditions of the production area and producer name in the "varieties" and "standards" are stored in a table or the like in advance. Have it ready. In the case of an air ticket, a plurality of conditions, such as a flight date and a section only, and an airline name or a specific flight number (a plurality of flights) are prepared in advance. This allows
The buyer can set various conditions.

As described above, the transaction processing (A) (first transaction processing), the transaction processing (B) (second transaction processing, third transaction processing), and the transaction processing (C) by the flower arrangement system 100 are described above. The flow of each process of (fourth transaction process) has been described. Each of these transaction processes is hereinafter referred to as EC (Electron
ic Commerce) Transaction processing by system or EC
Also called transaction processing.

Therefore, the most characteristic feature of the present system capable of performing such transaction processing lies in the sales form of the seller. That is, the seller trades in the situation where the amount of fresh flowers arrives is not fixed (sales processing before confirmation, hereinafter also referred to as sales 1), and sells in the situation where the amount of flowers arrives (sales processing after confirmation, Hereafter, the distribution management from the arrival to the auction is performed by performing the actual product sale by auction (the actual product sales processing, hereinafter, referred to as sales 3) on the own terminal device as follows. Is performed efficiently.

FIG. 10 shows a screen image on the terminal device on the seller side in a time-series manner. The outline of the flow of fresh flowers from sales 1 to sales 3 will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Form of Sale 1: Sale in a situation where the amount of fresh flowers arrived is not fixed) Here, the sale is made at the stage two days before the auction. At the stage two days before the auction, the amount of fresh flowers cannot be determined due to the influence of weather or the like. Therefore, sales transactions are performed with an approximate expected amount.

First, the expected sales operation screen 500
When the predetermined operation is performed above, the processing shifts to the above-described transaction processing (EC transaction processing) of (A) and (B1). When the transaction processing of (A) and (B1) is executed, that is, when the sales are performed by the transaction processing of (A) and (B1) based on the expected (predicted) sales volume, the transaction here is performed. The number of contracts β by (the number of results, for example,
200 cases) are determined, and the result number β is reflected on the prospective sales operation screen 500 as the result information of the sale 1.

(Selling 2 Form: Sale in a State where the Arrival Quantity of Fresh Flowers is Determined) Here, it is assumed that the sale is made at the stage of the day before the auction.

When the amount of arrival α (sales amount, for example, 1000 cases) is determined by fax notification or the like on the day before the auction, the information on the amount of arrival α is reflected on the expected sales operation screen 500, and the result screen Indicates the unprocessed number α-β (= 1000−200 = 800 cases). Actually, this is the form of sales 2 from here. In the form of the sale 2, by performing a predetermined operation on the unprocessed sale operation screen 600, the transaction processing of (B2), the transaction processing of (C) (EC transaction processing), and the unloading described above. The process proceeds to a fifth process. Here, the unprocessed sales operation screen 600 includes the received quantity α (= 1000 cases) and the unprocessed number α−β (= 8
00) is displayed, and the transaction process (B2), the transaction process (C), and the unloading process are performed on the unprocessed number α-β. As a result, the number γ (for example, 500 cases) obtained by adding the number of contracts by the transaction processing of (B2) and (C) and the number of unloaded items is determined, and the unprocessed number α-β before the determination is made. (= 800 cases), but the unprocessed number α−β−γ (= 1000−200−500 = 30)
0 case).

(Sale 3 Form: Sale of Items by Auction) Here, it is assumed that the sale is made on the day of the auction.

Next, when the amount α ′ (final sales amount, for example, 950 cases) in which fresh flowers are actually received (arrived) and sold is determined, the unprocessed sales amount α (= (1000 cases) is updated and displayed to the final sales amount (arrival amount) α ′ (= 950 cases). Accordingly, the unprocessed number α-β-γ (= 300 cases) is also changed to the unprocessed number α′-β-γ (= 950-200-
(500 = 250 cases) is displayed. Actually, the sales form from here is the sales form after the fresh flowers actually arrive and the actual unprocessed number α′−β−γ is determined. Therefore, in the form of sale 3, the unprocessed number α′-β-γ (= 250 cases) is the object of the auction (sale of the actual product), and the unprocessed number α′-β-γ
Will be auctioned.

As described above, in the form of sales 1 before the sales volume is determined, the transaction processing of (A) and the transaction processing of (B1) are performed for the expected sales volume, and the sales volume is determined. In the form of sale 2 after the transaction is determined, the transaction result (β) in the form of sale 1 and the determined sales volume (α) are obtained by the transaction processing (B2), the transaction processing (C), and the unloading processing. )), And trade is performed on the sales amount (α-β) obtained from the above. Then, at the stage of sales 3 after the goods have actually arrived and the actual sales volume has been determined, as a result of the transaction in the form of sales 2, the remaining (α′−β−γ) is eventually sold as the actual product (α′−β−γ). Auction).

Next, a specific description will be given of the transaction processing in each of the above-described sales modes 1, 2, and 3.

In the terminal device on the seller's side which performs the transactions in the form of sales 1 to 3 as described above, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is a top screen (delivery management top screen). Become. On this delivery management top screen,
User ID (seller ID), “arrival date”, “place of origin”, “producer name”, “item”, “form”, “type”, “color”, and “grade” A corresponding input section is provided.In addition, each item of "delivery screen" and "end of distribution screen" is also provided, and these items can be clicked by clicking the character portion, like the icon function ,
The processing corresponding to the character portion is executed. In addition, although each item of the "delivery screen" and the "end of the distribution screen" is displayed in characters here, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be displayed in a pattern or the like.

Then, the user of the terminal device uses a keyboard, a mouse, or the like to input the user ID, the arrival date of the flower desired to be sold ("Monday, December 15, 1997", etc.), and the place of production (" Aichi Atsumi-cho "), producer name, item (" Kiku ")
Etc.), form ("spray" etc.), variety ("Alps")
Etc.), color ("yellow", etc.), and class ("2L", etc.) attributes are input to the corresponding input sections, and the "delivery screen" portion is designated (clicked). As a result, according to the sales stage at that time, transactions in the form of sales 1 to 3 as shown in FIG. 10 are executed. When inputting the user ID, the arrival date, and the like as described above on the delivery management top screen in FIG. 11, the actual name (such as "Aichi Atsumi-cho" or "yellow") may be directly input. Although it is possible, for example, it can be input with a predetermined code.

That is, the transaction processing in the form of sales 1 to 3 started from the delivery management top screen in FIG. 11 is performed according to a flowchart shown in FIG. 12, for example.

(Step S101) First, a transaction in the form of sale 1 is started. That is, on the two days before the auction, the attribute of the flower desired to be sold is input on the delivery management top screen of FIG. 11 and the item of the “delivery screen” is clicked, for example, as shown in FIG. Move to the expected sales operation screen like this. Here, it is assumed that the item “chrysanthemum”, the form “spray”, the variety “Alps”, the grade “2L”, and the color “yellow” are input as the attributes of the input fresh flowers.

As shown in FIG. 13 above, the expected sales operation screen shows "arrival quantity", "" in order to show the transaction processing status for fresh flowers input on the delivery management top screen. A display unit is provided corresponding to each column of (A) transaction, “(B1) transaction”, “result”, and “unprocessed number”. Therefore, information corresponding to the current transaction status is displayed on these display units. In addition, "EC" items are displayed on the display sections corresponding to "(A) transaction" and "(B1) transaction" on this screen. As for the “EC” item, similar to the icon function, when the character portion is clicked, a process described later corresponding to the character portion is executed. In addition, "E
Here, the item “C” is displayed in characters, but is not limited thereto, and may be displayed in a pattern or the like.

At this time, since the fresh flower arrival amount α has not yet been determined, the status of the prospective sales operation screen includes the display units corresponding to “arrival amount”, “result”, and “unprocessed number”. Is blank.

Then, the seller uses a mouse or the like to click on the “EC” portion of the display corresponding to “(A) Transaction”. Thereby, the screen shifts to the transaction top screen shown in FIG. Then, the seller trader executes the transaction processing of (A) as described above, and thereby, for example, 1
Treat 00 cases of fresh flowers. Similarly, "
(B1) Click the “EC” part of the display section corresponding to “Transaction”. Thereby, the screen shifts to the transaction top screen shown in FIG. By executing the transaction process (B1) as described above, for example, 100 cases of fresh flowers are processed.

(Step S102) When the transaction processing of (A) and (B1) is executed in step S101,
It will be in a standby state until the transaction processing is completed. When the transaction processing is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S103.

(Step S103) As a result of the transaction processing of (A) and (B1) in step S101, it is assumed that a total of 200 cases have been closed. As shown in FIG. 14, the number β determined to be closed (the number of results) is displayed on the display corresponding to “result” on the expected sales operation screen.
At this time, "$ 85" indicating the average unit price is also displayed.

(Step S104) Steps S101 to S101
The sales (expected sales) by the transaction processing of (A) and (B1) as shown in S103 can be performed until the arrival amount α is determined. Then, on the day before the auction, the received amount (planned received amount) α
When (for example, 1000 cases) is determined, the process proceeds to the next step S105.

(Step S105) Determined arrival amount α
As shown in FIG. 15, "1000c" is displayed on the display corresponding to "arrival quantity" on the expected sales operation screen.
/ S ". The number of results β and the amount of arrival α
And the unprocessed number α−β (= 1000−200 = 800 cases) is calculated from the result, and the calculation result “800c /
s "is displayed on the display unit corresponding to" unprocessed number ".

(Step S106) Sales 1 as described above
After the transaction in the form of (2) is completed, the transaction in the form of sale 2 is started. In this transaction, fresh flowers (unprocessed number α-β = 800)
This is performed on the unprocessed sales operation screen as shown in FIG. On the unprocessed sales operation screen, as shown in FIG.
In order to show the transaction processing status for β, each column of “arrival quantity”, “(B2) transaction”, “(C) transaction”, “shipping”, “result”, and “unprocessed number” Is provided. Therefore, information corresponding to the current transaction status is displayed on these display units. Further, the display section corresponding to “(B2) transaction” and “(C) transaction” on this screen respectively displays an “EC” item. As for the “EC” item, similar to the icon function, when the character portion is clicked, a process described later corresponding to the character portion is executed. In addition, "E
Here, the item “C” is displayed in characters, but is not limited thereto, and may be displayed in a pattern or the like.

Therefore, the received amount α in the form of sale 1
(= 1000 cases) and the unprocessed number α−β (= 800
Case) is displayed as “1000 c / s” and “800 c / s” on the respective display units corresponding to “arrival amount” and “unprocessed number” on the unprocessed sales operation screen.

Then, the seller clicks the “EC” portion of the display section corresponding to “(B2) transaction” using a mouse or the like. Thereby, the screen shifts to the transaction top screen shown in FIG. Then, the seller trades, for example, 150 fresh flowers by executing the transaction processing of (B2) as described above. Similarly, the user clicks on the “EC” portion of the display corresponding to “(C) Transaction”. Thereby, the screen shifts to the transaction top screen shown in FIG. Then, the seller trader executes the transaction processing of (C) as described above, for example, 1
50 fresh flowers are processed. Further, the number of cases to be unloaded is set to, for example, “200” and input to the display unit corresponding to “unloaded”. In this way, the quantity processed and the number of shipments in the transaction processing of (B2) and (C) are, as shown in FIG. 17, the “(B2) transaction” and “( C) "150 c / s" and "150 c / s" are displayed on the display section corresponding to "transaction".

(Step S107) When the transaction processing (B2) and (C) and the unloading processing are executed in step S106, the apparatus enters a standby state until the processing is completed. When each process is completed, the next step S
Proceed to 108.

(Step S108) As a result of the transaction processing of (B2) and (C) in step S106, it is assumed that a total of 300 cases have been closed. It is also assumed that “200” has been input as the number of cases to be unloaded. In this case, the number of sales 300 + the number of pickups 200 = 500 cases is set as the result number γ. The result number γ is displayed on the display unit corresponding to “Result” on the unprocessed sales operation screen as shown in FIG. 500 c / s ".

(Step S109) Also, the received amount α (=
The unprocessed number α-β-γ (= 1000-200-500 = 1000 cases), the number of results β in sale 1 (= 200 cases), and the number of results γ in sale 2 (= 500 cases)
300 cases), and the result of the calculation is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, this is reflected on the unprocessed sales operation screen in the state shown in FIG. That is, the display on the display unit corresponding to the “unprocessed number” is updated from “800 c / s” to “300 c / s”.

(Step S110) Steps S106 to S106
Sales and unloading by the transaction processing of (B2) and (C) based on the confirmed arrival amount α as shown in S109 are as follows:
The process can be performed until the actual flowers arrive and the actual amount of arrival (the number of actual items) is determined. Then, on the day of the auction, the fresh flowers arrive and the actual amount of arrival α '(for example, 950)
When (case) is determined, the process proceeds to the next step S111.

(Step S111) The determined actual arrival amount α '(= 950 cases) is reflected on the unprocessed sales operation screen in the state shown in FIG. 17 as shown in FIG. That is, the display on the display unit corresponding to “arrival amount” changes from “1000 c / s” to “950 c / s”.
Will be updated to Along with this, the display on the display section corresponding to the “unprocessed number” also changes from “300 c / s” to “250 c / s”.
s ″ (= α′−β−γ).

(Step S112) Sales 1 as described above
And a transaction in the form of sale 2 is performed, and the unprocessed number α′−
When β-γ is determined, the unprocessed number α′-β-γ is “
If the value is not "0", the following steps S113 to S115 are executed, the process proceeds to the final process of step S116, and the present process ends. If the value is "0", the process proceeds to step S113.
Steps S116 to S115 are not executed.
Then, the process is terminated. This is because, for example, all of the actual received amount α ′ may be judged in transactions in the form of sales 1 and sales 2. Although the unprocessed number α′−β−γ is not “0”, the unprocessed number α′−
If the β-γ portion is not processed in the form of the next sale 3, the process directly proceeds to the final process in step S116 as in the case where the unprocessed number α′-β-γ is “0”, and this process ends. Becomes

(Step S113) Sales 1 as described above
And the transaction in the form of sale 2 is completed, and the unprocessed number α'-
If β-γ is determined and the unprocessed number α′-β-γ is not “0”, a transaction in the form of sale 3 is started.

(Step S114) In the form of the sale 3, in the form of the unprocessed number α'-β-γ (= 250 cases), the amount to be auctioned (sold) is determined (here, 250 cases). This determined amount is actually bid.

(Step S115) Then, the system enters a standby state until the auction is completed. When the auction is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S116.

(Step S116) Here, end processing is performed. As the termination processing, for example, on the market management side, the unprocessed number α′−β is set so that it is possible to identify which of the various fresh flowers to be sold has been traded and which fresh flowers are still being traded. -Transaction added to the information of fresh flowers whose gamma is "0" (here, fresh flowers of item "chrysanthemum", form "spray", variety "Alps", grade "2L", color "yellow") Set the processing end flag to “ON”. In addition, the transaction for this fresh flower has ended,
A message or the like indicating this is sent to the accounting unit, the management unit, and the like.

As described above, conventionally, there is no sales form based on the expected (predicted) sales amount before the arrival amount is determined. The seller notifies the seller of the order by fax or facsimile, and the seller reserves the buyer's order while watching the notification. -In the case where the goods are actually received and the goods are present, the seller side sells the goods by preemption (or pickup), auction, or the like. However, in this embodiment, there is only a sales form of: (a) Form of sale 1: based on the order information issued by the buyer based on the expected (predicted) sales amount before the arrival amount is determined (A ) And the transaction processing of (B1) based on sales information issued by the seller or the wholesale market. Form of sale 2: Based on the determined amount of arrival, sales are performed by the transaction processing of (B2) based on sales information issued by the seller and the transaction processing of (C) based on order information issued by the buyer and sales information issued by the seller. At the same time, loading (or preemption) is performed. -Form of sale 3: The actual goods are sold for the purpose of receiving (or pre-empting) or auctioning the remaining items as a result of the sale. , And so on, and configured to be able to be executed on a terminal device by systematizing the three sales forms. Then, a result generated by a certain sales mode is configured to be reflected in the next sales mode according to a change in the environment at that time.

With this configuration, it is possible to efficiently perform the transaction of fresh flowers from the arrival to the sale of the actual item on the data. In particular, the seller can know in advance how much fresh flowers to sell will have a buyer, how much can be cut off, etc., and can make a sales plan. In addition, it is possible to plan fresh flower transactions in consideration of loading (or preemption), sale, auction, and the like, and efficiently judge all received fresh flowers. Furthermore, even if the sale target is a product whose quality deteriorates after a certain period, such as a fresh flower, it can be efficiently judged at a higher unit price before the fresh flower is damaged. Therefore, efficient sales activities and sales management can be performed in accordance with the demand and supply of the day such as auction. In addition, the buyer also has an increased opportunity to procure fresh flowers (transaction time), and can make an efficient procurement plan. Further, not only sellers and buyers, but also producers shipping fresh flowers can be involved in the transaction. In addition, it is possible for both buyers and sellers to conduct fair transactions, and it is possible to efficiently carry out commercial distribution management in an environment with a different transaction form (in each environment where information on fresh flowers is determined each time). .

In the above-described embodiment, the target product has been described as an example of a fresh product such as a fresh flower, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can also be applied to products with fixed expiration dates, such as air tickets, other transportation tickets, and concert tickets. For example, in the case of an air ticket, the producer mentioned above corresponds to the airline, the major seller corresponds to the sales department such as a branch of the airline, or the sales agent such as a major travel agency, and the small seller corresponds to each. It corresponds to dealers such as travel agencies and convenience stores that handle air tickets. Also, if you want to purchase two seats on the XXX flight on December 30 or 29, or buy two seats on the XXX or YYY flight from Airport A to Airport B on December 29, (A) corresponds to the transaction processing. The transaction based on the information that the XXX flight from December 29 to January 5 is α yen and the YYY flight is β yen and has 100 seats each corresponds to (B) transaction processing, and these conditions The transaction for determining the price and the quantity by matching the purchase information and the sales information having various spreads to the (C) transaction process. Therefore, as described above, the present invention is also applicable to a product with a term such as an air ticket or a product with a due date.

Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not the arrival amount is determined in step S104 after the transaction in the form of the sale 1 is started. There is a case where the transaction is confirmed before the transaction in the form of is started. For example, as for imported flowers and the like, those that arrive by sea or air have a predetermined arrival amount.

Further, in each of the screens shown in FIGS. 13 to 19, information such as the amount of goods received and the result of each transaction is displayed in one line. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, FIG. As shown, a plurality of lines may be displayed as the processing progresses.

Further, the attributes of the fresh flowers input by fax notification or the like from the producer side are (A), (B1), (B)
2) and a function of converting the attribute into a flower attribute in the transaction processing (EC transaction processing) of (C) may be provided.

Specifically, first, before shifting from the sales 1 to the sales 2 mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, the arrival amount is notified by a fax from the producer side. The information to be notified includes the items, varieties, ranks, quantities, etc. of the fresh flowers to be received. This information is
It is input into the system (business system) on the trader side. Then, in the business system, a file according to a predetermined format is generated and input to the system. However, the structure of the file output from the business system may be different from the file structure in the present system. Therefore, a conversion table for each attribute for converting a file structure of data input to the present system into a file structure in the present system, that is, a conversion table TBL1 for an item, a conversion table TBL2 for a product type, and a conversion table TBL3 for an equivalent class. , ...
・ Matching is performed by using. Alternatively, instead of using these conversion tables, for example,
By using a WAIS (Wide Area Information Server) system or pre-determining a common attribute code,
Try to match. By performing such a conversion, even if information from the producer is input in any file structure, the transition from the sales 1 to the sales 2 can be smoothly performed.

An object of the present invention is to supply a storage medium storing program codes of software for realizing the functions of the server and the terminal of the above-described embodiment to a system or an apparatus, and to provide a computer (a computer) of the system or the apparatus. It is needless to say that the present invention can also be achieved by reading and executing a program code stored in a storage medium by a CPU or an MPU. In this case, the program code itself read from the storage medium realizes the function of the above-described embodiment, and the storage medium storing the program code constitutes the present invention.

[0112]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to carry out a transaction in a different sales form on a network, and to obtain unprecedented sales and procurement opportunities not only for the seller and the buyer, It can be given to producers who ship goods. For this reason, it is possible to perform an efficient product transaction, particularly an efficient sale, which has not been available in the past.

[0113] More specifically, the sales form (sales processing before finalization) in which the product is sold based on the information such as the expected (predicted) sales volume, and the product based on the finalized sales volume and the like are used to sell the product. A sales form in which sales and emergency transactions such as pickup are performed (sales processing after confirmation), and a sales form in which goods remaining as a result of execution of these sales forms are sold as a target for auction or the like (actual goods sales processing) Can be executed on a terminal device, and a result generated in a certain sales form is reflected in a next sales form according to a change in environment at that time. With such a configuration, it is possible to efficiently perform transaction of goods from receipt to actual sale on data. In particular, the seller can know in advance whether a product to be sold has a buyer, how much can be cut off, and the like, and can make a sales plan. In addition, it is possible to plan a transaction of a product in consideration of loading, prefetching, selling, auction, and the like, and to efficiently judge all the received products. Furthermore, even if the sale target is a product whose quality deteriorates after a certain period, such as fresh flowers,
It is also possible to efficiently judge at a higher unit price before the product is damaged. Therefore, efficient sales activities and sales management can be performed in accordance with the demand and supply of the day such as auction. In addition, buyers have more opportunities to procure products and can make efficient procurement plans. Furthermore, not only sellers and buyers, but also producers who ship commodities can be involved in the transaction. In addition, it is possible for both the buyer and the seller to make a fair transaction, and it is possible to efficiently manage the business flow under the environment where the transaction is different (in each environment where the product information is determined each time).
