Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a merchandise sales system and a merchandise sales method, and more particularly to a merchandise sales system and a merchandise sales method performed via a network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, merchandise sales methods using a network such as the Internet to procure materials have been individually performed as two-party transactions between an orderer and an ordering party. If the sales volume is expected to decrease due to changes in the market after placing an order, the ordering party will ask the supplier to reduce the ordering amount, but the supplier will pay a cancellation fee from the ordering source for the extra material. You have to ask or seek out new consumers.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a conventional product sales system. The merchandise sales system in FIG. 5 includes a user terminal 110, a merchandise sales management system 120 managed by a merchandise seller or a business group that sells merchandise, and a network 200 interconnecting these.

[0004] The orderer accesses the merchandise sales homepage established on the network 200 by the merchandise sales management system 120 via the user terminal 110, determines the merchandise to buy and sell, and places an order on the screen of the user terminal 110. . At this time, the orderer individually places an order with each supplier until the order amount is reached. The commodity sales management system 120 that has received the order relays all commodity order information ordered by the orderer to the commodity supplier.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned conventional merchandise sales system has the following problems.

The first problem is that the orderer must individually search for and place orders for each supplier. For example, when the order quantity or the additional quantity of the order is large, the orderer needs to search for a supplier and place an order individually until the required order quantity is reached. Conversely, if the amount of order reduction is large, the orderer must change the order to the supplier until the amount of reduction is reached.

[0007] The second problem is that the sale of goods is a two-party transaction, and the circulation of the goods is low. For example, when a change in the order quantity from the orderer is large, the product supplier of the order destination may not be able to cope. In the case of a large amount of order reduction, the influence on the supplier is large, and in some cases, the orderer is required to pay a cancellation fee. Conversely, in the case of a large increase in the order quantity, the supply of goods cannot be made in time, so that the supplier may not be able to receive the order, and the orderer must individually search for another supplier and place an order.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales system and a merchandise sales method that solve the above problems.

To provide.

[0016]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a product sales system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The merchandise sales system shown in FIG. 1 includes a user terminal 10, a merchandise sales management system 20, a merchandise trading market 30, and a communication network 100 such as the Internet for interconnecting these.

The user terminal 10 is an information processing device such as a personal computer.

0 is provided.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the following description,
The network 100 is assumed to be the Internet.

Referring to FIG. 2, the orderer accesses the merchandise sales homepage established on the Internet 100 by the merchandise sales management system 20 via his / her user terminal 10 (step A1). In response, the merchandise sales management system 20 transmits merchandise information regarding the merchandise to the user terminal 10 (step A2). First, various types of product information as shown in FIG. 3 are displayed on the screen of the user terminal 10 (step A3).

The orderer sees various types of product information displayed on the screen of the user terminal 10 and registers on the screen that he / she wants to purchase future products to buy and sell (step A4). In the example of FIG. 4, the orderer purchases 1000 DRAMs for the September contract month (future purchase) and the CD-R 50 for the October contract month.
An order (a futures sale) for selling a limit price of 800 pieces with a limit price of 800 yen is registered.

The registered trade order information is transmitted to the merchandise sales management system 20 via the Internet 100 according to the order of the orderer (clicking the "order" button in FIG. 4 with a mouse) (step A5).

[0028]

The first effect is that the orderer does not need to conduct a plurality of transactions with the actual commodity supplier by procuring a certain amount of commodities in the futures market. For example, if the order quantity of a product exceeds the supply quantity of one supplier, the orderer had to deal with multiple suppliers, but even if a large quantity was procured by procuring in the futures market, It can be procured.

The second effect is that, by creating a futures market for the products to be handled, the distribution of the products is enhanced, and it is possible to flexibly respond to fluctuations in demand trends.
For example, a change in material procurement is not a bilateral transaction between the material purchasing company and the purchasing company, but involves dealing with a large number of market participants who trade the material. Even so, there is a futures market that absorbs such demands, and the flexibility of material procurement change (production adjustment) is increased.
