Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an Internet shopping system, and more particularly to a method and a system for distributing a product by allowing a user to select a purchased product from a plurality of delivery destination candidates.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of information infrastructures such as networks and personal computers in homes and offices, Internet shopping systems that are not restricted by time and space are becoming popular.

[0003] The technology that constitutes Internet shopping is as follows: (1) A consumer accesses a dealer's homepage from a personal computer installed in a home or workplace, browses products, and, if the product is a favorite product, sends order information. Communication technology to send to the seller, (2) payment technology to pay for the ordered goods, (3) the seller checks inventory and shipping instructions to the product inventory base based on the order information, delivery to the delivery company It consists of a delivery technology that arranges.

A known example of the Internet shopping technology described above is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-26944.
No. 7 online shopping service method and system (hereinafter abbreviated as known example 1) has been filed. Known example 1 provides consumers with information on the delivery date and cost of the product calculated using the product inventory information and the delivery method information,
Consumers can select a desired delivery service from a plurality of delivery service candidates.

[0005] As a publicly known example of the second Internet shopping technology, there is a "Japanese e-commerce" e-commerce book sales and CD sales on the Internet "from page 64 to page 67 of the August 1999 issue of Nikkei Business (hereinafter, known example 2). Abbreviated). In the publicly known example 2, it is possible to search and order books / CDs that a consumer wants to purchase from the Internet, and to receive the ordered books / CDs at a convenience store selected by the consumer.

[0006]

The first problem to be solved by the invention is that unless the ordered product is a recording medium such as music or a game that can be delivered via the Internet, it is necessary to physically deliver the product. , The delivery destination of the product, and the delivery date and time. The points not considered in the prior art example 1 are the delivery destination specified by the consumer, the delivery destination for re-delivery of the product when the product cannot be delivered on the delivery date,
That is, the delivery date and time cannot be set. Items that could not be delivered at the specified delivery destination and delivery date and time must be delivered according to the delivery company's re-delivery system. What is not considered in the second prior art is that there is no method for changing the convenience store designated by the consumer as the delivery destination of the product. Items not received at the designated convenience store have to be delivered according to the delivery company's re-delivery system.

A second problem to be solved by the invention is that it is troublesome to specify a delivery destination of a product and a delivery date and time. To specify the delivery destination, you must specify the name, furigana, postal code, prefecture, ward, town, street address, building apartment, and telephone number. In the case of a delivery destination that has a delivery record in the past, it is possible to select a delivery destination candidate from the purchase history information and to simplify the designation of the delivery destination, but it is very troublesome to designate a new delivery destination.

[0008] A first object of the present invention is to provide a case in which a product cannot be delivered to a delivery destination and a delivery date specified by a consumer, or to change a convenience store designated by a consumer as a delivery destination of a product. It is possible to set a delivery destination for re-delivery of a product and a delivery date and time.

A second object of the present invention is a delivery destination of a product. To eliminate the hassle of specifying the delivery date

[0010]

To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a server computer and a client computer connected by a communication network, and transmits product information from the server computer to the client computer. In the provided Internet shopping system, at least one or more delivery destinations recorded on a recording medium are read from a recording medium reading device connected to the client terminal, and one or more of the read one or more delivery destinations of the purchased product selected at the client terminal are read. A delivery destination for delivering the purchased product is selected from the delivery destination, and the selected delivery destination is transmitted to the server computer. Alternatively, receiving at least one or more delivery destinations of the purchased product selected by the client terminal from the server, selecting a delivery destination to deliver the purchased product from the received one or more delivery destinations, and selecting the selected delivery destination Is transmitted to the server computer. In addition, at least one client computer that sorts delivery destinations in the order of desired delivery or writes delivery destination data to the recording medium is connected to a communication network. Further, the server computer notifies the client computer of the delivery status of the purchased product, or the client computer notifies the server of a request to change the delivery destination of the purchased product.

As described above, according to the goods delivery method and system for Internet shopping, if the goods cannot be delivered to the delivery destination designated by the consumer or the delivery date, or if the consumer designates the delivery destination of the goods. If it is desired to change the convenience store, the delivery destination and the delivery date and time for re-delivery of the product can be set. Also, the delivery destination of the goods. Eliminates the hassle of specifying the delivery date.

Now, the flow 201 of the WWW browser program 112 will be described. Step 203 receives a request from the user. The process 204 analyzes the received request and distributes the process. If the request is to call the program of the client computer 101, the process is shifted to a process 208, and if the request is to the WWW server program 132, the process is shifted to a process 205. In the case of a request to end the WWW browser program, this flow ends. Process 208
Calls the corresponding program of the requested client computer 101. Step 209 reads the page generated by the called program. Process 207 displays the page. A process 205 sends a request to the WWW server program 132. A process 206 receives a processing result of the request from the WWW server program 132. Next, the processing flow 202 of the WWW server program 132 will be described. The process 210 receives a request from the client computer 101.

The process 211 analyzes the received request and distributes the process. If it is a request to call the program of the server computer 102, the process proceeds to step 214, and if it is a request to the WWW server program 132, the process proceeds to step 212. Process 212 reads the page corresponding to the request. The process 213 sends the read page to the client computer 102. The process 214 calls the corresponding program of the requested server computer 102. Processing 2
15 receives the execution result of the called server program. Process 216 reads the template page corresponding to the request. A process 217 writes the execution result of the received server program in the read template page, and generates a response page. Process 218 determines whether to end the WWW server program. If the processing is not to be ended, the control is shifted to step 210. If the processing is to be terminated, the present flow is terminated.
