Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gift mediation system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a data storage means provided on a server for storing predetermined data via a network. The present invention relates to a technology for mediating gifts to be given.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the development of information providing technology using a network, a system for specifying a product on the network and presenting the product to a specific individual has been put to practical use. In such a system, a server specified by an IP address or the like is prepared on a network such as the Internet, and data of a product to be presented or presented is stored in the server. Those who present or use gifts to other people access the site where the server exists, and specify the goods based on data stored in the server. Then, the price of the product is paid by bank transfer or credit card settlement, and the destination of the product is written in a specific area on the server.

[0003] The entity operating this site confirms the settlement of the price, and then sends the designated product to the written destination. Thus, a desired product is presented to a specific partner. This system is used for seasonal gifts such as year-end gifts, Zhongyuan, celebration of birthdays, marriage, childbirth, going to school, finding employment, etc. ing.

[0004]

However, in such a system of presenting and giving a gift through a network, the sender only sends the product one-sidedly, and the presenter asks in advance the wishes of the presenter and the gift recipient. Unless you put it, it could not be reflected. When giving or giving a gift, it is not always usual to listen to the desired product of the other party, and it is not uncommon for a giver to be confused about what to give. In addition, when receiving gifts from many relatives or friends during marriage or the like, it is not uncommon that products are duplicated or that things that are not necessary for their lives are given, and that they are confused.

[0005] These problems are, in a sense, social habits. For example, even if it becomes socially acceptable for a giver to ask a partner what he or she wants to receive a gift, he or she is still seeking it. It is possible that the price of a thing may be beyond the range of gifts the giver has planned and cannot be solved by changing social habits alone. No technical infrastructure has been proposed yet that solves the various problems of giving gifts to a single person or group of individuals.

According to the present invention, there is provided a gift mediation apparatus and method.
It is an object of the present invention to solve such a problem and to provide a convenient system in which a plurality of persons present and give gifts to a specific party.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems and Their Functions / Effects The present invention, which solves at least a part of the problems described above, provides a gift mediation system, which is provided on a server and stores predetermined data, via a network. And a first storage means for pre-registering information about a person who receives the gift together with personal information identifiable on the network. A second storage means for storing a password by which a gift-giving person can be recognized on a network, and, when accessed via the network, performing authentication of the personal information and registering it in the first storage means. If the correspondence with at least a part of the personal information is recognized, the access to the data storage means via the network is performed. Access means for permitting access, a product registration means for registering one or more products to be given a gift in the data storage means by the access with the permission, and The gist of the invention is to provide a product reference unit that can refer to access via the network using the password stored in the storage unit.

Further, the invention of the gift mediation method corresponding to the gift mediation system is a gift mediation which mediates a gift made by accessing a data storage means provided on a server for storing predetermined data through a network. A method, in which information about a person who receives a gift is registered in advance in a predetermined storage means of the server together with personal information that can be specified on a network, and a password capable of recognizing the person giving the gift on the network is provided. When stored in the storage means of the server, when there is access via the network, authentication of the personal information is performed, and when correspondence with at least a part of the personal information registered in the storage means is recognized, Permits access to the data storage means via the network, and the access allows the data storage means. In the step, one or more products to be given a gift are registered, and the registered products can be referred to for access through the network using a password stored in the storage means. And

[0009] According to such a gift mediation method, when a person who wishes to receive a gift accesses the data storage means via the network, the correspondence with the personal information registered in advance is confirmed. Access to is allowed. Those who have been granted access register one or more products to be given a gift in the data storage means.
In order to register one or more products, it is necessary to certify the correspondence with the personal information. Therefore, the products are not registered in the data storage means due to mischief or the like. On the other hand, a person who intends to give a gift can refer to a registered product via a network by using a password registered in advance. Therefore, only the person who wishes to give a gift can refer to the registered product, and can accurately present the product desired by the person who wants to give the gift. Since a password is required to refer to registered products, privacy is not disclosed to irrelevant people.

[0010] Various developments can be considered for the above-described gift mediation system and its method. Hereinafter, description will be made by taking the mediation device as an example, but almost the same development is possible as the mediation method. In the gift mediation system described above, the first storage means for storing personal information may be means for storing the information about two or more persons together with a single personal information. In the case of marriage, etc., a couple of couples will receive a gift, so the personal information of the person receiving the gift shall be single, and information on two or more persons constituting the couple shall be stored together with this personal information. It is convenient to do so.

Further, in the gift mediation system of the present invention, the type of the event to receive the gift, such as marriage, childbirth,
Means for registering a birthday, enrollment, and the like; and, if the type of the registered event corresponds to an event registered in advance as an event involving a plurality of persons, such as engagement, marriage, the information on the plurality of persons. And means for storing the information together with a single piece of the personal information. This is because not all events involve a plurality of persons, and if registration of information of a plurality of persons is enabled only for events registered in advance, errors in registered information are less likely to occur.

[0012] Further, to the address registering means for registering the address of the person giving the gift, and to the data storing means including the password in the address registered in the address registering means after the registration by the commodity registering means is completed. Notification means for notifying information on the access method. This way, after registering the product,
Since information on the access method including the password can be notified to the address (address, e-mail address, etc.) of the person who is giving the gift, the person trying to receive the gift has to contact the other party, This can save the trouble of having to ask each person for the access method.

In the gift mediation system of the present invention, the registration of a product can be handled by the following configuration. That is, a product information storage unit in which information on a plurality of products is individually stored in advance is provided, and one or more of the plurality of products stored in the product information storage unit is specified. A means for displaying a list of products on a screen is provided. In this way, when a person who intends to register a product can specify a product from a plurality of products stored in the product information storage unit, the user can refer to the list in a list.
It is possible to easily grasp what kind of product is specified. Here, the term “list” means that not all products need to be displayed as a complete list, but may be displayed as a list according to product category or price, or may be displayed on a display screen or printing paper. This is because the display may be divided into a plurality of screens or print papers depending on the size. Of course, when one screen and one printing paper cannot be accommodated, the size of characters and the like may be automatically adjusted and displayed as a complete list. The list display may be performed on a screen such as a monitor or may be printed.

[0014] Such product information may be such that products are divided into categories and displayed for each category.
If the items are classified by category such as “clothing, eating and living”, the amount of money, etc., even if the number of products to be specified increases, it is possible to easily reach a desired product. It should be noted that the “product” mentioned here naturally includes not only items such as bags and tableware, but also services such as travel and entrance tickets.

[0015] In this gift mediation system, the merchandise information storage means stores at least information on the price of the merchandise and a photograph of the appearance of the merchandise. It is also preferable to display the image so that it can be enlarged and displayed. In this case, the external appearance photograph of the product to be registered can be enlarged and referenced, so the convenience of product selection to increase the information that can be recognized at one time and the detail of the product information to want to enlarge and view the product And can be satisfied at the same time.

In the above-mentioned gift mediation system, the goods specified by the person who receives the gift are registered in advance in the data storage means of the system. , It does not necessarily have to be in the system. For example, it is assumed that information on a product is obtained from another data storage unit on the network together with information specifying the storage unit, and among the obtained information on the product, at least information on a price and the data storage unit are stored. The information to be specified may be extracted and displayed in a list. If at least these pieces of information are displayed in a list, a person who intends to give a gift can determine whether or not to give it, and if so, where to purchase it.

In a gift mediation system having a configuration for displaying registered products in a list, it is also useful to display a delete button for instructing deletion of the registered products. Once you specify a product and register it,
This is because there is a case where the user wants to delete it later.

In the above-described gift mediation system, a person who wants to give a gift can refer to a product registered by the person who wants to give the gift (for example, refer to a list display). It is also possible to configure a system that directly bears the purchase of these products.
That is, for access using a password, a registered product is displayed on the screen in a list, and a means is provided for individually accepting an application to pay for the displayed product. In this case, a means for displaying the applied product as already applied may be further provided.

Such an application for the burden may be such that one person pays for one product, or one person may pay for two or more products. Furthermore, in this gift mediation system, for access using a password,
A part of the amount of money can be designated. In the case of expensive products and services, it may be difficult for one person to bear the burden. In such a case, if the partial burden is made possible, not only is it easy to apply for the payment, but also it is possible to present and receive a high-priced product that cannot be expected to be given alone. In such a case, for a product for which a partial burden has been applied, the total of the applied burden portions may be displayed. If the total of the burden portion is displayed, it is preferable for a person who applies later to easily know the remaining portion.

Here, the application for the payment of the payment includes not only the payment directly on-line, but also the payment only through the network and the actual payment later. In this case, the gift mediation system may be provided with a payment requesting means for requesting the person who made the application to pay for the product for which the payment was applied. Such payment request means includes, for example, means for sending a bank transfer form and issuing a bill.

Further, when the access through the network is permitted by the permission means, the registered products are displayed on the screen in a list, and for the products already applied, information for specifying the person who made the application is displayed. It is also conceivable to provide a detailed information display means for displaying the information together. In this case, the person who sees this information is the recipient of the gift, and the recipient will know who will give the product,
This can be known by referring to the information via a network, which is preferable.

In such a gift mediation system, the expiration date of access to the data storage means is stored, and when the expiration date has passed, information about the applied product is registered by the person who registered the product. May be notified. In this way, a person who has registered a product to receive a gift can surely know which product will be given after the expiration of the time limit.

The person who receives the gift may go to pick up the goods to be received, but in the gift mediation system,
In the storage means, as information on the person who is to receive the gift, in addition to the current address of the person concerned, the delivery destination of the applied goods is registered, and it is possible to receive the delivery of the goods to the delivery destination. No problem. When there is a plan to get married, the current address at the time of registering the product to receive the gift and the address living after marriage are rarely different. Such a case can be easily dealt with.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to further clarify the configuration and operation of the present invention described above, embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on examples. FIG. 1 shows a hardware configuration for realizing a gift service system as an example of an embodiment of a gift mediation system of the present invention. A gift service system is a system in which a person who intends to receive a certain product from a specific person (hereinafter referred to as a “recipient”) registers in advance a product desired to be received on a network, and informs the user of the registration. By having access to the network and selecting the product you want to give from registered products,
A system that sends selected products to the person. It should be noted that, in normal social customs, the receipt of a product accompanying a celebration or the like is recognized as a gift or a gift, but in the present specification, receiving a product by giving or presenting a gift is widely referred to as “receiving”.

Taking the case of a wedding celebration as an example, the content of a product to be given as a wedding celebration is usually determined by the judgment of another person who has been informed of the marriage. On the other hand, the gift service system provides a person who intends to give such a wedding celebration with appropriate judgment material based on the intention of the person to be given about a product to be given.

As shown in FIG. 1, the hardware for realizing the gift service system includes a first terminal 80 to which the recipient accesses, and a third party (hereinafter, referred to as a congratulatory person) who wishes to give the recipient a certain product. A second terminal 90 which is accessed by a gift giver), a third terminal 70 which is accessed by a person who sells gifted goods (hereinafter referred to as a seller), and a gift including provision of information on the gifted goods. And a server SV owned by a service provider (hereinafter, referred to as a service provider).

Serial input / output interface (SIO)
Reference numeral 32 denotes a control unit which controls input and output of data from the outside. The server SV is connected to an external network NW via the SIO 32. Usually, the server is directly connected to the network NW using a dedicated line.
Therefore, the SIO 32 is also realized as a network card corresponding to the protocol used in the network NW. The first terminal 80, the second terminal 90, and the third terminal 70 are also connected to the network NW, and each of the terminals and the server has an address (TCP / IP protocol) for specifying each on the network. (If an IP address is used).
Therefore, using these addresses, each terminal 70, 8
It is possible to access the server SV from 0, 90, and perform data processing and transmission / reception between each terminal and the server SV. Although access to the server SV is permitted for all terminals, passwords and the like are provided for various files and data prepared in the server SV, and those who satisfy predetermined conditions. Is the only mechanism that can be accessed. The setting of such a password will be described later.

The server SV discloses information such as an outline of a service for access without a password.
Various registration processes described later are executed in response to only access from a person who has been authorized to have an access right by a password or the like. Specifically, the server SV executes a registration process based on an instruction from the first terminal 80, performs a gift designation process based on an instruction from the second terminal 90, and executes a third terminal The dispatch management process is executed based on the instruction from 70. Details of the registration processing, the gift specification processing, and the shipping management processing will be described later.

The serial input / output interface (S
The IO) 32 inputs characters and data in the form of code information, but may be configured to allow input in other forms.
For example, an interface for inputting voice information and information on the shape of characters is provided, and the input information is transmitted to a CP.
A configuration may be considered in which the U22 converts the information into readable digital information, converts the information into a character string by voice recognition or character recognition, and then inputs the character string.

Reference numeral 30 controls output of signals to the liquid crystal display 20 as a display device capable of displaying colors, and a printer interface 40 (PI) controls output of data to the printer 42.

Next, the contents of the gift service system executed using the above hardware will be described.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the contents of the gift service system. First, (1) the recipient uses his or her computer, in this example, the first terminal 80, to access the server SV of the service provider and register as a member. After completing the member registration, the service provider opens a site for the registered member (hereinafter, referred to as a registrant) in the server SV, and registers the site so that the registrant can access the site. A registrant ID and a registrant password are issued, and (2) the registrant ID and the registrant password are notified to the registrant. As a method of this notification, a method of displaying on the display 80b of the first terminal 80 or a method of notifying using postal mail, electronic mail, or the like based on transmission from the server SV after member registration is completed is considered. be able to.

The recipient notified of the registrant password is:
Using the first terminal 80, access the server SV again,
Enter the registrant ID and registrant password. With this input, it becomes possible not only to visit the site for registrants but also to perform various registration processes.

A product list, which will be described later, is prepared on the registrant site in a form in which the specifications of the product can be grasped. (3) The registrant selects a product desired to be received from the product list and registers it on the site.

After completing the registration of the product, (4) a message card is mailed to the registrant. This message card contains the gifter ID issued by the service provider
And the donor password are printed in advance. (5) The registrant writes a predetermined greeting on this message card,
Give to the giver. If the registrant wishes, the service provider will contact the giver on behalf of the giver, and the service provider will give the giver the information of the giver ID and the giver password electronically. It is also possible to notify by e-mail or FAX.

The giver who has grasped the situation by receiving the message card accesses the server SV using his / her computer, that is, the second terminal 90 in this example, and inputs the giver ID and the giver password. I do. With this input, a list of products selected by the registrant on the registrant site (hereinafter referred to as a gift list)
Can be seen. (6) The giver selects an appropriate product to be given to the recipient from the products listed in the gift list, and registers the gift on the site.

After completing the registration of the gift, the service provider (7) places an order for the gift with the seller and (8) sends an invoice to the giver in an amount corresponding to the gift. I do. (9) The giver pays the requested amount to the service provider by bank transfer, online settlement, or the like.
After the payment, (10) the service provider instructs the seller to send the gift. If the date and time at which the gift is received is specified by the recipient, an instruction is given to send the gift based on the specified date and time.

The seller (11), based on the above instruction,
Send the gift to the recipient, and (12) report to the service provider that the recipient has received the gift. (13) Upon receiving this report, the service provider notifies the giver that the recipient has received the gift by e-mail, FAX, or the like.

The contents of the gift service system have been described above. Next, a description will be given of a registration process, a gift designation process, and a shipping management process, which are processes executed by the server SV when implementing such a gift service system. The registration process, the gift item designation process, and the shipping management process respectively include the operations (1) to (5), the operations (6) to (8), and the operations (9) to (13) in FIG. This is performed by the processing of the computer in the server SV. Therefore, the registration processing, the gift specification processing, and the shipping management processing are executed in this order.

The contents and procedure of the registration process are shown in a registration process routine of FIG. This registration processing routine is started when a person who intends to register first connects to the server SV and selects "member registration". That is, the server S
V is activated when V receives a signal to register for membership via the network NW. Hereinafter, a description will be given assuming that the above signal is received from the first terminal 80.

As shown in FIG. 3, when this routine is started, first, a member registration process is performed (step S10).
0). The member registration process is a process of registering a person who intends to use the gift service system as a member, and the contents are as follows. First, the registration application form data is transmitted to the first terminal 80 via the public telephone line PTL. Thereafter, when receiving the personal information of the recipient such as name, the registrant ID or the registrant password is determined,
This registrant ID and registrant password are stored in the first terminal 8
Send to 0. Registrant ID and registrant password
The information is stored in the server SV in a form linked with the received personal information.

When determining the registrant ID and the registrant password, the registrant ID and the registrant password are also determined together with the registrant ID and the registrant password. The first terminal 80 sends both the giver ID and the giver password.
May also be transmitted.

After the member registration process is completed, it is determined whether or not the registrant ID and the registrant password have been input (step S110). If it is determined that the registrant ID and the registrant password have been input, the receiver registration is performed. Processing and merchandise registration processing are performed (Step S120, Step S13)
0). After the member registration process, it is also possible to temporarily disconnect the server SV, send the registrant ID and password by e-mail, etc., and then reconnect to the server SV. It is a target. In this embodiment, if it is determined in step S110 that the correct registrant ID and registrant password have not been input three times in succession, the registration processing routine is terminated, and the gift product lineup and the like are changed. , To prevent prying eyes by peers other than members.

The recipient registration process (step S120)
This is a process for registering information on the content of the recipient regarding the recipient. When this process is started, first, data of the registration format of the recipient is transmitted to the first terminal 80 via the public telephone line PTL. As a result, a registration format for member registration is displayed on the first terminal 80. In this registration format, there are provided columns for describing the name of the recipient, the address, etc., the desired date for shipping the product, and the expected number of gift givers. When receiving data in a registration format in which these items are entered, a recipient list is created based on the received data, and this list is stored.

In this embodiment, in consideration of the possibility that the registrant himself will be the recipient, the name and address of the recipient who has already been registered in the member registration process (step S100) are previously entered in each column. The described registration format is transmitted to the first terminal 80. Therefore, the user is prevented from inputting the name, address, and the like twice, thereby reducing the operation burden on the registrant.
In addition, the registration format of the recipient is a form in which a plurality of recipients can be input.

The merchandise registration process is a process in which a recipient registers a merchandise desired to be exchanged, and the contents thereof are as follows. First, the server SV transmits data of a product list described later to the first terminal 80 via the network NW. As a result, on the display 80b of the first terminal 80, a product list in which images and specifications of various products are described is displayed so that each product can be selected. Thereafter, when a notification that a predetermined product is selected from the product list is received, a gift list is created and stored based on the selected product. The specific mode of the gift list will be described later.

In the registration processing routine shown in FIG.
The order in which the recipient registration process and the product registration process are executed may be reversed.

Next, a process is performed to determine whether both the recipient registration process and the product registration process have been completed (step S140). If it is determined that both have not been completed, the process has been completed. Returning to the previous processing, the above processing is repeated. If it is determined that both processes have been completed, a card creation process is performed (step S150).

The card creation process is a process for creating the above-mentioned message card, and its contents are as follows. First, a gift ID or gift password is determined, and the determined gift ID and gift password are printed on a message card.

In this embodiment, when there are a plurality of givers, the giver ID and the giver password are determined so that a different ID and password are provided for each giver. Of course, the presenter ID and the presenter password may be determined so that only one of the presenter ID and the presenter password is different.

In the present embodiment, the determined giver password is linked to the registrant password and stored.
By linking two passwords like this,
Access to data (for example, a gift list or the like) stored on the registrant site is allowed by the giver.

When the card creation processing is completed, the present routine ends. In this routine, a process for registering the information of the e-mail address of the giver is provided, and the determined giver ID and the giver password are transmitted to the second terminal 90 by e-mail based on the registration. Processing may be added.

Next, the content and the procedure of the gift specifying process are shown in a gift specifying process routine of FIG. After the above-described registration processing is completed, the server SV enters a state of waiting for access from the second terminal 90 to the site for the donor. When it is determined that an access to the site for the giver has been made, a gift specifying process routine is started.

As shown in FIG. 4, when this routine is started, first, it is determined whether or not a giver ID and a giver password have been input (step S200). An article designation process is performed (step S210). In the present embodiment, step S200
, When it is determined that the correct combination of the giver ID and the giver password has not been input three times in a row, the gift specifying process routine is terminated. Therefore, access such as ridicule and harassment is prevented. Even if the recipient does not intend to pay for the list registered, the application process described below is repeated to prevent mischief such as preventing others from applying.

The gift item designation process is a process in which a giver selects a product item to be given to a recipient from a gift item list and registers the selected item as a gift item. It is on the street. When this processing is started, the server SV firstly stores the data of the gift list,
The data is transmitted to the second terminal 90 via the network NW.
As a result, on the display 90b of the second terminal 90,
For each product selected by the recipient, a gift list in which images and specifications are described is displayed so that each product can be selected. Thereafter, when a notification that a predetermined product is selected from the gift list is received, the selected product is designated as a gift, and this designation is stored.

After the gift item designating process is completed, a gift giver registration process is performed (step S220). The giver registration process is a process of registering the information of the giver of the gift, and the content is as follows. First, the data of the donor's registration format is transmitted to the second terminal 90 via the public telephone line PTL. As a result, a registration format in which the name, address, and the like of the giver are blank is displayed on the display 90b of the second terminal 90. After this, when receiving data such as name and address filled in by the donor,
Create a donor list based on the received data.

The giver list is created by linking personal information such as the giver's name and the like with the giver ID, the giver password, and information on the gift, and is stored in the server SW.

Prior to the creation and storage of the giver list, the "person accessing the site" and the "listed in the giver's registration format" match by communication means such as telephone or facsimile. A process for confirming whether or not to perform may be performed. In this way, it is possible to prevent a gift act based on fraud.

In the gift specification processing routine of FIG. 4, the order in which the gift specification processing and the gift registration processing are performed may be reversed.

After the giver registration process, a process is performed to determine whether both the gift specifying process and the giver registration process have been completed (step S230), and if it is determined that both have not been completed, Returning to the previous processing that has not been completed, the above processing is repeated.
