As described above, the apparatus includes the control unit 1, the input / output interface 2, the storage unit 3, and the like, and is connected to the Internet NET via the route control unit RT.
The control means 1 is composed of a CPU or the like, and performs control of each unit, data transfer, various calculations, temporary storage of data, and the like. I / O interface 2 is Internet NE
The data input from the buyer's device P1 and the seller's device P2 connected via the
1 and the data output to the seller device P2.
The storage means 3 stores a main program MP for realizing various functions which form the core of the sales support system, and stores product data D1 including product information PI, registered purchaser data D2, and registered seller. Data D3,
Game data D4 of a discount game that is a game
Etc. are stored. It does not matter whether this system-side computer CS is provided centrally or separately, and its location is not limited to Japan.
It does not matter even overseas. Further, the system-side computer CS does not need to exist independently. For example, a Web server or the like may have its function.

First, various data stored in the storage means 3 will be described with reference to FIG. Product data D1

Next, the main program MP stored in the storage means 3 will be described with reference to FIG. This main program MP includes product information management means PR1,
This is for realizing at least the game execution promoting means PR2, the discount rate setting means PR3, and the selling price determining means PR4. The control means 1 and the like operate according to the main program MP, and the buyer's equipment P1 and the seller's By cooperating with the device P2, the functions as the respective units described above are exhibited. The purchaser X has his own purchaser equipment P
There is no need to download the main program MP, product data D1, etc., or upload it in reverse,
For example, W installed in the own purchaser's equipment P1
This system can be used by using a general-purpose application such as a WW browser. In addition, by providing the system-side computer CS with an FTP server function, these main programs MP, data, etc.
It goes without saying that a configuration in which download or upload is performed between the purchaser device P1 and the seller device P2 and the system-side computer CS is also possible.

Each of the above-mentioned means will be briefly described.

The merchandise information management means PR1 manages the merchandise name, price information, ie, normal price, new / used category, maximum discount rate, and maximum discount price, which are included in the commodity data, for each commodity.

The operation and the flow of use of the embodiment having such a configuration will be described below, together with the detailed description of each means described above.

First, in this system, the goods to be handled are presented in a format in which the seller Y who wants to sell puts up the system for sale. The seller Y who wants to sell can exhibit by contracting for sales. The seller Y who has completed the contract connects the seller device P2 to the Internet NET and accesses a homepage provided by the system computer CS. The homepage includes a product registration page W1 for inputting a product to be sold as shown in FIG. 4. In the product registration page W1, information on the product to be sold, specifically, a maker name and a product Name, product category (pop-up menu display),
It is possible to input a new category, a used category, a used product image, a product description, and a sales quantity. Then, by clicking a registration button B0 displayed on the product registration page W1, the product desired to be sold is registered in the system-side computer CS.

A mail address or the like may be input, and the input information may be stored as the registered seller data D3 in the storage unit 3 of the system-side computer CS. The information on the seller Y may be input by an administrator who manages the system-side computer CS when the exhibition contract is concluded, and may be stored in the storage unit 3 as registered seller data D3. . Seller Y
Preferably has its own online shopping site, but may also sell at only ordinary stores.

As described above, the buyer X connects to the Internet NET using his / her buyer device P1 on the assumption that the products exhibited by the sellers Y have been registered. Then, the user accesses a homepage provided by the system-side computer CS. It should be noted that the system-side computer CS is configured so that any buyer X can access the system-side computer CS in principle, and that only registered members can access the product CS when purchasing products.

First, when the purchaser X accesses the homepage, the display screen of the purchaser's device P1 displays, as shown in FIG. A top page W2 for displaying the CM is displayed. On the top page W2, each category CTG, the product category name PC included in the category CTG, and the number of products PN included in the product are displayed, and what kind of product lineup as a whole is displayed. It is configured so that it can be grasped. That is, for example, the category CTG called “digital life” includes products such as “PC” and “software”, and the category CTG called “gourmet life” includes “fresh food”,

Therefore, the product can be finally purchased at a satisfactory discount rate SDR. When a new discount game is displayed on the discount game selection page W7, the game can be executed until the user enjoys the discount game. If a plurality of kinds of discount games G1 to G4 having different contents are prepared in this way, the discount games G1 to G4 can be selected according to the skill or preference for the discount games G1 to G4. High score can be obtained depending on the discount games G1 to G4, and the discount games G1 to G4 can be obtained.
You can enjoy the fun of 4.

For the seller Y, only by registering the product registered in the system computer CS,
Purchaser X's willingness to purchase is a discount game G1 to G4
As a result, the merchandise can be sold with good rotation. Therefore, the seller Y can efficiently secure sales.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

In the above embodiment, the discount games G1 to G4 can be executed after selecting the product desired to be purchased.
G4 is configured so that it can be executed independently of product selection,
The results of the executed discount games G1 to G4 may be integrated and stored, and a discount rate may be set from the stored results. In this case, as shown in FIG. 15, means described below is added to the above embodiment.

In this embodiment, the main program M
When the same discount game is executed a plurality of times by re-execution or the like, the accumulation storage means PR9 added to P accumulates the respective results of the executed discount game, and stores the result obtained by the accumulation as the discount game name and It is stored in the storage means 3 together with the purchaser information XI as integrated result data.
