DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product display and sales system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when merchandise is displayed (exhibited) using shelves in a store, general shelves provided in a plurality of stages in the height direction are continuously used in the horizontal direction. . In this case, since the length in the horizontal direction is at least several times longer than the dimension between the upper and lower shelves, many commodities can be suitably arranged side by side on a substantially horizontal surface at the same height. When products are displayed in this way, not only specialty stores but also the same store will display the same types of products, and similar products can be placed close to each other. It is convenient because it can be compared and purchased.

[0003]

However, in a conventional store, the store selects and purchases a product, displays the product as appropriate, and sells the product as appropriate. It was a system that sold goods via a store instead of selling directly to. For this reason, a conventional store is not a system for clearly displaying and selling a product and a relationship between the product and the manufacturer or seller of the product (hereinafter referred to as “seller”). Therefore, there is no hardware such as a display shelf for a product to be sold by clearly identifying a plurality of products. That is, there is a problem that there is no suitable product display / sales system for distinguishing and displaying a product and a seller. Also, as a method of selling goods directly from a seller to a consumer without the intervention of a store, there were only occasional opportunities like a flea market. Therefore, there is a problem that even if you have a good product, the product cannot be suitably sold unless you have a sales force. In particular, there is a problem that there is no place (product display / sales system) for suitably selling personally produced products.

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it easy to identify a product in relation to a seller as a product provider and to efficiently display the product in a small space. It is an object of the present invention to provide an exhibition and sale system for products that can be sold.

[0005]

The present invention has the following arrangement to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention

The box-shaped section is associated with a product, and management other than management related to display of the product by the seller is performed using hardware resources.

[0006] Further, the hardware resources correspond to the positions of the respective box-shaped sections, and the sales amount of the product for a predetermined period,
Through the steps of calculating various ranks related to sales data such as sales quantity, and calculating the overall evaluation value of the position of each box-shaped section based on the various ranks, in accordance with the overall evaluation value, A more appropriate product because it is a computer system for business management that can output management information such as a rank related to the amount of each box-shaped section to be lent to the seller or a rank related to the limitation of the exhibition period. Manage sales strategies.

[0007] Further, since the box-shaped section is a rectangular space, products can be displayed more efficiently.

[0008] The rectangular space defined by the box-shaped sections is arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and includes a plurality of rectangular mounting plates on which commodities are mounted, and an uppermost mounting plate. Above, a top plate arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, between the uppermost mounting plate and the top plate, and between the upper and lower mounting plates, at a predetermined interval. Is provided so as to be held in the uppermost mounting plate and the top plate,
The display space can be suitably constructed by being formed by a plurality of upper and lower connecting members arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction to partition a rectangular space together with the upper and lower mounting plates.

In addition, the mounting plate and the top plate and / or the upper and lower connecting members are transparent or translucent, so that light for illumination can be suitably taken in.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a product display shelf according to the present invention, including a partly broken portion. Reference numeral 10 denotes a rectangular mounting plate, a plurality of which are arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals in the up-down direction, on which products are mounted. Although the mounting plate 10 of the present embodiment is formed by an integral plate member that is long in the left-right direction, it is needless to say that a plurality of short plate members may be connected. 12
Denotes a top plate, which is disposed above the uppermost mounting plate 10 in parallel at a predetermined interval. The top plate 12 of the present embodiment is formed of an integral plate-like member that is long in the left-right direction, similarly to the mounting plate 10, but it is needless to say that a plurality of short plate-like members may be connected. is there.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an upper and lower connecting member, which has upper and lower ends for maintaining a predetermined interval between the uppermost mounting plate 10 and the top plate 12 and between the upper and lower mounting plates 10. Fixed,
A plurality of them are arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction so as to partition the rectangular exhibition space 16 together with the uppermost mounting plate 10 and the top plate 12 and together with the upper and lower mounting plates 10. The upper and lower connecting members 14 of this embodiment are arranged in a state in which the plate-like members stand upright, and clearly partition the exhibition space 16. The upper and lower connecting members 14 may be formed of an integral plate-like member that is long in the vertical direction, and may be provided continuously in the vertical direction. According to this, since the space is partitioned into rectangles to form the exhibition space 16 which is a box-shaped section, no useless space is generated, and the space can be used efficiently.

In this embodiment, a plate (back plate 1) is also provided on the back surface.
8) is stretched and has a box shape (box shape) with an open front. In the case of a box-like shape, for example, a staircase-shaped platform 20 can be suitably arranged in the box, and when a product is placed on the platform 20, a three-dimensional height space can be obtained. The product can be suitably displayed by utilizing the information. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and both the front and back surfaces may be open. The products displayed from both sides can be seen, and the display efficiency can be improved.

22 is a tag portion, and the mounting plate 10 and the top plate 1
2, which is attached to the front side of the vehicle and is located so that at least a part thereof projects into a specific exhibition space 16 (in this embodiment, one exhibition space), and information on what is displayed in the specific exhibition space 16. Is displayed. Thus, the tag section 2
2 is overhanging in the specific exhibition space 16, it becomes clear that the content displayed on the tag section 22 is information of what is placed in the specific exhibition space 16, and it is preferable that Can be identified. Furthermore, the tag sections 22 having a uniform shape are regularly attached to the front side of the mounting plate 10 and the top plate 12 such that they are arranged at equal intervals, so that information on each product is displayed in an easily viewable manner. It is possible to appropriately identify the contents of a specific product.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 employs a columnar member 14a as the upper and lower connecting member 14. According to the columnar member 14a, it is difficult to more clearly partition the rectangular exhibition space 16 like a plate-like member, but there is an advantage that the light of illumination can be suitably taken in.
An exhibition with a feeling of openness can be done. The mounting plate 10, the top plate 12, and / or the upper and lower connecting members 14 are transparent or translucent, so that the illumination light can be more suitably taken in. By adopting a columnar member or making each component transparent or translucent as described above, it is not necessary to provide a large number of illuminations corresponding to each box (each exhibition space 16), so that the display cost can be reduced.

According to the display shelf for commodities having the above structure, the display shelf 16 is an aggregate of rectangular display spaces 16, and adjacent portions are formed.
It is possible to efficiently use the indoor space for the display without causing useless space in the (continuous portion). In addition, a plurality of rectangular spaces having the same shape can be provided, and products can be displayed in an orderly manner.

Next, a method for displaying and selling a product using the product display shelf according to the present invention will be described. According to the display shelf for products according to the present invention, as in the flea market, a large number of people bring what they want to sell by themselves,
You can sell freely. That is, each exhibition space 16 formed by display shelves for products is rented by oneself,
Each of the exhibition spaces 16 functions like various small shops. An individual-level merchant without many types of products,
Although it is a small space, it can be said that it is an epoch-making system that can sell products directly to consumers through an administrator.

The relationship between the person who manages the product display shelves (the manager) and the seller who rents each exhibition space 16 has the same aspect as the relationship between the building owner and its tenant. In terms of lending, they are almost the same. However, when the manager sets the basic rental fee for the exhibition space 16 to a low amount, an amount corresponding to the sales amount of the seller may be collected. In addition, the manager here refers to lending of the exhibition space 16 (collection of rent and management of time limit), delivery of products to consumers, collection of prices from consumers, payment of sales to sellers, and It is the person who performs administrative work such as collecting the amount of money according to the sales. On the other hand, the seller manages the display of the product. Usually, the seller decides the selling price, attaches a label for price display, brings in the goods to be exhibited for the goods, displays the goods as appropriate, and manages the exhibition. Includes collecting items that could not be sold within the period.

The exhibition space 16 for each product is, for example,
It is sufficient that the three sides of the vertical and horizontal depths are set to a box shape of about 45 cm each. However, in the case where it cannot be stored in the exhibition space 16, it is also possible to display a photograph instead of the actual thing. Therefore, everything from small items such as accessories to large items such as real estate can be freely sold in the sense of a flea market. Also,
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it can utilize suitably as a pilot shop for investigating the sales trend of goods.

As a display method using the product display shelf, there is a method of changing the color of a tag attached to the tag section 22 and displaying information on the product at predetermined intervals. As a result, it is possible to suitably provide the consumer with information according to the sales situation of the specific product. For example, 2
Set a period of about every week, depending on the sales situation,
In the sales method of discounting, information can be suitably transmitted to consumers by the color of the tag. Note that the tag may be, for example, a plug-in type that can be replaced with a transparent case that forms the outer periphery of the tag unit 22.

In the above embodiment, the box-shaped exhibition space 16 having at least one open side has been described.
The present invention is not limited to this. For example, an expensive item may be locked by attaching a door. Further, a mirror (mirror) may be provided on the inner surface forming the exhibition space 16 to use the exhibition effect by reflection.

Prepare. This display space corresponds to the display shelf described above, and the box-shaped section corresponds to the box-shaped display space 16 described above, and thus detailed description is omitted. In addition,
The box-shaped section is that a predetermined space is partitioned into multiple stages and multiple rows,
In other words, it can be said that the exhibition space is formed by being separated. The exhibition space can be said to be a space formed as a whole by aggregating a large number of box-shaped sections.

A large number of sellers who are product providers such as individuals individually rent a box-shaped section (exhibition space 16) of the exhibition space, bring goods into the box-shaped section, and display the goods. Perform management related to That is,
As mentioned earlier, sellers decide their own selling prices,
Affixing labels for price display (front bills), bringing in decorations to be used for product display, and displaying products as appropriate,
It manages the product display, such as picking up the products that were exhibited and could not be sold within the period. In addition, in addition to displaying the price of the product, the identification symbol (number) of each box-shaped section, the identification symbol (number) of each seller, and the like may be displayed on the front bill. The display allows the administrator to appropriately manage the sale of the product.

Also, the manager who manages the exhibition space
The box-shaped section is associated with the product, and management other than the management related to the display of the product by the seller is performed using hardware resources.
