Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an estimate information providing system for providing estimate information via a network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various quote requests have been conventionally made to various traders, such as a move quote request, a travel quote request, and a wedding quote request. For example, in a moving quote request, a requester first selects a moving company that can request a quote using a telephone directory or the like, and contacts the selected moving company by telephone or the like to request a quote. The moving company that received the quote request actually visited the client's home (moving source), estimated the moving cost, etc., and presented it to the client.

[0003] Usually, a client makes a request for a quote to a plurality of moving companies in order to select a moving company most suitable for desired conditions, and among the quotes presented by the plurality of moving companies, the client is most requested. Has selected a quote that is appropriate for the desired conditions, and has requested a move from the moving company that provided the quote.

[0004]

By the way, it takes a lot of time and effort for a client to obtain a quote from a plurality of moving companies and determine a moving company to request moving. First, before requesting a quote for moving, the requester had to search by himself using a telephone directory, etc. to select a moving company to request, and had to select a moving company capable of requesting a quote. .

[0005] When selecting a plurality of moving companies and requesting the selected moving companies for an estimate, the requester must individually contact each moving company for a quote request by telephone or the like. Was. In addition, depending on the moving company, the service area may be limited. Therefore, each time a request is made to each moving company for an estimate, the requester changes the moving area of the client (the moving source area and the moving destination area). Had to check if it was included in the service area.

[0006] Usually, the quote is presented when the moving company actually visits the client's house (moving source), so when requesting a quote from a plurality of moving companies, the requester is requested to move. We had to respond to each company's visit. In addition, when obtaining quotes from a plurality of moving companies, personal information such as the contact information of the client must be provided for each moving company, so there is a concern that unnecessary contact from the moving company will later cause trouble. In addition, there was a considerable possibility that personal information would be misused.

[0007] Further, a plurality of moving companies are contacted in advance by telephone or the like, the conditions desired by the client are conveyed, an approximate estimate is presented, and the requester compares and evaluates the approximate estimate. May be determined, and a request for an estimate may be made.However, in this method, the conditions desired by the client must be conveyed in detail to each moving company, and the burden on the client is reduced. It became enormous.

As described above, conventionally, it takes a great deal of time and effort to obtain a quote from a plurality of moving companies and determine a moving company to request moving, and the burden on the client is large. there were. Such a burden of the client,
It is not limited to a move estimation request, but also occurs at the time of various estimate requests such as a travel estimate request and a wedding estimate request, and the burden on the requester is enormous.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily and anonymously obtain a quote from one or a plurality of traders, and to reduce the burden on a client until a trader is determined.

Yes), and issues an ID and a password issued for each requester data 13 (S511). Information 11
(S512).

When registering the client data 13,
For example, the system administrator of the quote information provider may check the requester data 13 at any time, and may register the requester data 13 in the database 5 only for the requester data 14 that is confirmed to be legitimate rather than mischief. good.

When the requester data 13 is registered in the database 5 in this way, the server 4 sends the e-mail to the three moving companies (see FIG. 7) searched in the processing of S502 by e-mail. (S513).
The e-mail addresses of the three moving companies found are
It can be obtained by referring to the contact data of the retrieved company data 14 of the three moving companies. Also,
The estimation request information transmitted at this time includes at least the ID, a part of the basic data, and the package data in the requester data 13 described above. Note that a part of the basic data refers to basic data excluding the contact information 41, the postal code and address of the current address information 42, and the address (see FIG. 8) of the new address information 43. As a result, the quote request information transmitted to the moving company does not include the personal information of the quote requester, and is transmitted anonymously, so that it is not bothered by unnecessary communication from the moving company later. Further, there is no possibility that personal information is misused.

On the other hand, the three moving companies that have received the estimate request information respectively make estimates based on a part of the basic data and the package data included in the transmitted estimate request information, and calculate the approximate estimated amount of money and trucks. And the moving conditions such as the number of workers and the number of workers are calculated. Then, each moving company returns the ID included in the estimation result and the estimation request information from the client 3 to the server 4 by e-mail as estimation data. As described above, since the ID is added to the returned estimate data, it is possible to later identify which estimate data is requested by the requester.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the estimation data registration processing of the server 4. As shown in the figure, the server 4 receives estimation data transmitted by e-mail from the client 3 of the moving company (S1201). When the server 4 receives the estimate data from the moving company (Yes in S1201), the server 4 registers the estimate data as the estimate data 15 in the estimate information 12 of the database 5 (S1202). Then, based on the ID added to the estimation information 12, the client information 10 registered in the database 5 is displayed.
With reference to each of the client data 13, the client data 13 having the same ID as the ID added to the estimation information is searched. As a result, a search is made to determine who is the requester of the quote requesting the quote data 15.

When the quote requester is searched in this way, the server 4 transmits to the searched quote requester by e-mail information indicating that the quote data 15 can be browsed (S1203). . The e-mail sent at this time contains the ID of the found quote requester.
And a password.

The transmission of the e-mail to the requester for the quote is performed when the server 4 sends the same ID from a plurality of moving companies.
When receiving a plurality of estimation data having the above, an e-mail may be transmitted each time the estimation data is received, and an e-mail may be transmitted only when the estimation data is received first. May be.

Upon receiving the ID, password, and e-mail transmitted from the server 4 indicating that the estimate data 15 is viewable, the quote requester operates the client 2 to view the estimate data 15. Then, a predetermined IP address of the server 4 owned by the quote information provider is accessed.

FIG. 13 shows a first estimation confirmation screen displayed on the display screen of the client 2 at this time. As shown in the figure, the display screen of the client 2 first shows I
An input screen for D and a password is displayed. The requester of the quote is the ID received by e-mail from the input screen of the same figure.

401). The password is received to confirm whether or not the quote requester is a legitimate requester, thereby preventing viewing by anyone other than the legitimate quote requester.

When the server 4 receives the ID and the password from the requester of the quote (Yes in S1401),
Based on the received ID, the ID of each estimate data 15 of the estimate information 12 registered in the database 5 is referred to, and the corresponding estimate data 15 is searched (S140).
2). The server 4 sends the estimated data 15 retrieved at this time to the client 2 (S1403). The quote data 15 to be sent to the client 2 also includes PR sentence data of the moving company. This is performed by referring to each of the trader data 14 of the trader information 11 of the database 5 and adding the PR text data of the corresponding trader data 14.

FIG. 15 shows a second estimation confirmation screen displayed on the display screen of the client 2 at this time. In the figure, as an example, the estimate data 15 of two companies is displayed. The estimated data 15 displayed here is
At this point, the estimate information 12
Only the estimate data 15 registered in the list is displayed. Therefore, among the moving companies that have made the estimation request, the moving companies for which the estimation data 15 has not yet been registered in the database 5 are not displayed on the estimation confirmation screen shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, on the estimate confirmation screen, the name of the moving company, the estimated amount, the PR
A check box 47 is displayed together with the text, moving conditions, and the like.
