Thus, in the response server company BB, the file of the product database 53 for each customer and the data of the product information database 52 are compared with each other by the processing of the CPU 4 of the server 1 (Step St83).
If the latest price information has been updated, the latest price information is sent back to the TV 21 of the user C via the network 2 (Step St84).

In response, the TV 21 acquires the latest price information (Step St85), and thereby updates the latest price on the order screen (FIGS. 9A and 9B). After confirming the latest price, etc., the user enters the order number of the product he wants to order, checks the delete column of unnecessary products, and clicks the "order" button at the bottom of the screen,
The TV 21 transmits the order information and the settlement information corresponding to the information together with the authentication information of the user C to the response server company BB via the network 2 (Steps St86 and St87).

Thus, in the response server company BB, the authentication program 4
3. Order receiving program 42a and order receiving program 42
b, By executing the settlement program 44 and the like, the order information and the settlement information are received (Step St88), and after collation of the customer, these information are registered in the order information database 55, and the data and the corresponding information in the customer database 51 are registered. Based on the data, the order information is sorted and transferred to the goods providing company B1 (Step St89), while processing is performed by referring to the payment information by a predetermined payment method (Steps St93, St94).

Then, the product providing company B1 receives the order information and the delivery destination information, and performs product delivery (home delivery) (Steps St90 and St91), whereby the user C receives the product (Step St90). St92). As described above, the outline of the “usual product home delivery service” according to this example is summarized in FIG.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, anyone can easily register “ordinary products” simply by inputting and instructing bar code numbers, shop flyer information, receipt information, and the like by operating the remote control of the television. The order can be received 24 hours a day, and since the user simply inputs the quantity into a shopping list or the like for himself / herself, shopping and ordering can be easily performed, and the convenience is greatly improved.
