9, a printer 20 for outputting data.

The hard disk 14 stores various files constituting the sales system. Specifically, a merchandise database file (hereinafter, merchandise DBF) 131 storing merchandise information, a reception program 132 constituting a reception unit for receiving an order for a merchandise, and a margin amount are notified to a margin payee. A margin totaling program 133, a margin payee database file (hereinafter, payee DBF) 134, a margin totaling DBF 135, and the like are stored. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the hard disk includes DBF 131,
Database management system (hereinafter, DBMS) as an application program that manages 134 and 135
Is installed.

[0007] The sales system of the present embodiment is used mainly for mail-order sales such as catalog sales. The sales system is operated by a company that develops a mail order business (hereinafter, this company is referred to as an operating company). Goods sold by the sales system are purchased from a supplier to an operating company and delivered to the purchaser according to an order from the purchaser. Buyer,
The information of the product to be ordered and the like are written in an order slip described later and sent to the operating company. In the operating company, the operator operates the computer 1 to input and process the data of the order slip, and the ordered product is sent to the purchaser.

A major feature of the sales system of the present embodiment is that the purchaser pays a margin when purchasing a product, and the purchaser can specify a payee of the margin. Specifically, a list of selectable margin payees is sent to the purchaser in advance together with a catalog or the like, and the payee of the margin is designated according to the list. This list contains information such as the group ID assigned to each payee, the name of the group, and the location.

First, the configuration of the receiving means will be described.
The receiving unit includes a receiving program 132, the CPU 11 that executes the receiving program 132, and the like. In addition, the margin calculation means is also provided by the reception program 132.
And the CPU 11 that executes the receiving program 132. The reception program 132 is a program that receives data described on an order slip sent from a purchaser. First, the order slip will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of an order slip.

As shown in FIG. 2, the order form includes a column for entering information of the purchaser, such as the name, address, and telephone number of the purchaser (hereinafter referred to as a purchaser information column), a code number of the product, and a product name. A column for entering product information such as manufacturer name, color, quantity, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the product information column), a column for entering payment method (COD, credit card, etc.), a margin payee and margin distribution And a column for entering margin information such as a ratio (hereinafter, a margin information column). Product names include
Information such as the manufacturer name, trademark, and model is included. The payee of the margin is specified by an organization ID of the payee and an organization name of the payee.
The group ID is composed of alphabets and numerical values. The margin distribution ratio describes a desired ratio such as 5: 1: 1.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a schematic configuration of the receiving program 132. Reception program 1
Reference numeral 32 denotes a reception input screen similar to the order form shown in FIG. Then, when the operator inputs the data of the order form from the keyboard 17 and clicks the registration button, the input data is temporarily stored in the memory.

Next, the reception program 132 searches the product DBF 131 using the product code as a search key, and calls data such as the supplier of the product and whether or not the product is in stock. Then, when there is stock, the data in the product information column and the purchaser information column of the order slip are printed out on a delivery slip in a predetermined format. Then, the ordered product is transported to the purchaser according to the delivery slip by a means of transportation such as courier.

If it is determined by searching the product DBF 131 that there is no stock, an ordering program (not shown in FIG. 1) for the supplier is executed. Then, after the goods arrive from the supplier, delivery to the purchaser is similarly performed. The ordering program is often a program for creating an order slip to a supplier, but may be a program that simply indicates that an order is necessary because there is no stock.

Next, the reception program 132 performs a task of inputting information relating to the margin into the margin summing DBF 135. First, the reception program 132 calculates a margin amount to each margin payee. The amount of the margin paid to each margin payee is calculated according to the following formula. That is, (margin payment amount) = (total purchase amount) / (margin ratio) / (margin distribution ratio). In this formula, the margin ratio is a predetermined value of the overall ratio of the margin included in the total purchase amount,
For example, 2% or 5%.

More specifically, the margin ratio is 2%, the total purchase amount is 10,000 yen, and the distribution ratio is 50% for group A, 30% for group B, and 30% for group C. :
Assuming that it is 20%, the margin amount is 100
That is, 60 yen for group B and 40 yen for group C. The receiving program 132 calculates each margin amount in this way, and temporarily stores these data in a memory variable.

Next, the reception program 132 reads the margin payee code from the memory, and searches the margin payee DBF 134 using this as a search key. FIG.
It is the figure which showed about the structure of margin payee DBF134. As shown in FIG. 4, the margin payee DBF 134 is a database in which group information such as an organization ID, an organization name, a location, a contact, and a representative name, and a file name of the margin summing DBF 135 are stored. Reception program 13
2 is the margin payee DBF using the group ID as a search key
Search 134. Then, when a corresponding record is found, the file name of the margin summing DBF 135 is returned.

The reception program 132 opens the corresponding margin summing DBF 135 according to the returned file name of the margin summing DBF 135. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a structure of the margin summing DBF 135. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the margin summing DBF 135 is a file in which data of a purchaser's name and address, a purchase date, a margin amount, and a payment date are stored in a database. Such a margin summing DBF 135 is prepared in advance for each margin payee.

The reception program 132 converts the data of the margin payment information of the order slip into the margin summing DBF 135.
After adding as a new record to D
The BF 135 is updated. Thus, the receiving program 132 ends. The purchase date is the date written on the order slip or the date on which the order slip was received and registered. In addition, the margin summing DBF 135 includes:
No information on purchased products is recorded. In this way,
Each time an order slip is received, the reception program 132 is executed to create a shipping slip for the product and to add a margin sum DBF.
135 is updated.

The sales system shown in FIG. 1 has a deposit processing program (not shown) for inputting the deposit date. That is, when the goods are delivered to the purchaser and payment is made by cash on delivery or payment is made by credit card settlement, the operator executes a payment processing program and inputs a payment date. This input includes the margin summing DBF1
This includes inputting the payment date into 35 corresponding records.

On the other hand, in the sales system shown in FIG. 1, margins are summed up by summing means every month. The summation means is the margin summation program 1.
33, and the CPU 11 that executes this program. FIG. 6 shows a margin summing program 133.
3 is a flowchart showing a schematic configuration of the embodiment.

The margin summing program 133 is a program for summing a margin amount for each margin summing DBF 135. First, the margin payee DBF 134 is opened, the margin payee information stored in the first record and the file name of the margin summing DBF 135 are read, and temporarily stored in the memory. Then, the DBF 135 for margin summing of the file name is opened, and the margin amounts of the records in which the payment date is input are added one after another, and the margin amounts are totaled. At the same time, the purchaser and the purchase date information are temporarily stored in the memory one after another for the record in which the payment date is input. Then, the total sum of the margin and the purchaser and purchase date information of each record in which the payment date is entered are called from the memory, and the information of the margin payee is printed out on a margin payment notice in a special format. I do. After printing out, DBF135 for margin addition
Clear all records in which the payment date is entered.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a margin payee notice. As shown in FIG. 7, the margin payee notice includes margin payee information such as the organization name, address, representative name, bank transfer, branch name, and account name of the margin payee, and the payment margin amount for the month. The total is described. At the same time, details of the payment margin amount are described. The statement is the name of the buyer,
Information such as an address, a purchase date, and a margin amount is described in a list.

The margin summing program 133 opens the first margin summing DBF 135 to create a margin payment notice shown in FIG.
4 and reads out the margin payee information of the next record and the file name of the margin summing DBF 135 and temporarily stores them in the memory. Then, a margin payment notice is created in the same manner.

Thus, the margin payee DBF1
34, the records are sequentially read, and the sum of the margin amounts of the margin summing DBF 135 is calculated for all the margin payees to create a margin payment notice. After the creation, all the deposited records in the margin summing DBF 135 are deleted.

At least two copies of the margin payment notice are prepared, one for the payee's organization and one for the operating company. Margin payment notices for payee entities will be mailed to each payee entity. The margin payment notice for the operating company is sent to the relevant department such as the accounting department of the operating company. Then, according to the margin payment notice, the margin is transferred on a predetermined transfer date.

In the above-described sales method and sales system according to the present embodiment, it is assumed that the group of the margin payee is a club, a circle, a non-profit volunteer organization pursuing a specific purpose, or the like. The purchaser can select an organization such as a club to which he or she belongs, or an arbitrary organization such as a volunteer organization that wants to donate as a margin payee. The payment of the margin has the character of donating to an organization. Therefore, there is the convenience that donation to any organization can be made at the same time simply by purchasing a product by mail order by this sales system. Conversely, from the point of view of the product seller, the purchase of the product =
Since the scheme of donating to an arbitrary organization can be appealed, it leads to sales promotion of the product.

As can be understood from the above description, the summing means pays a margin to a designated organization only when a deposit is made. This is because there is no deposit even if the order is delivered and the goods are delivered, that is, it is unreasonable to pay a margin in the event of a default. However, a margin may be paid when an order is placed.

In the above embodiment, the catalog may be sent to the purchaser from the operating company, but it is more preferable that the catalog is sent from the organization that pays the margin. Specifically, a catalog is sent to each member with a message that the purchase of the product leads to donation to the organization. If the margin payee's organization publishes a journal or the like, it is preferable to enclose it and send it to the member because it saves time and effort. Sending a catalog to a member of the organization that pays the margin can clarify the purpose of requesting the purchase of the product as a request from the group, which is effective in promoting product sales and contributing donations to the group .

Next, a second embodiment of the sales system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a sales system according to the second embodiment. The sales system of the second embodiment is similar in concept to the first embodiment, but performs the same on a network. Specifically, the sales system according to the second embodiment includes a display unit that displays, on an information terminal 5 connected to the network 4, a product list including a product name of a product that can be purchased and a price of the product, Receiving means for receiving a purchase order of a product according to an input from an information terminal 5 connected to the network 4, margin calculating means for calculating a margin amount according to the received order; Summing means for summing up the calculated margin amounts.

In the present embodiment, the Internet is assumed as the network 4. The display means is HTM
A WWW server (Web server) 31 that sends the L file to the information terminal 5 and displays it is used. Therefore, as the information terminal 5, a computer such as a personal computer having a browser, a mobile phone (including a registered trademark of each company such as i-mode, EZ-Web, J-Sky, etc.) capable of browsing a web page, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) ).

The WWW server 31 has server software 311
And an HTML file 312 displayed on the information terminal 5 by the server software 311. The HTML file 312 includes a file for displaying a product list 6 and an order slip described later. An operation server 32 is connected to the WWW server 31. The WWW server 31 and the operation server 32 are connected via an intranet 33. The intranet 33 is connected to the Internet via a route control device 34 such as a firewall.

The configuration of the operation server 32 is almost the same as that of the computer 1 constituting the sales system in the first embodiment shown in FIG. Therefore, it is illustrated using the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted. The WWW server 31
Is not a server owned by the operating company, but belongs to another server providing company, the WWW server 31 and the operating server 32
May be connected by a normal telephone line or a dedicated line. The order form file that the WWW server 31 has is
A page on which data can be input is displayed. The input data is CGI (Common Gateway In
(terface) 35 and sent to the operation server 32.

Next, the structure of the product list file of the WWW server 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
Another major feature of the sales system in the present embodiment is that a product list is displayed by linking to the web page of the organization to which the margin is paid.
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a web page on which a product list is linked and displayed.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, a product list 7 is linked and displayed on a web page 6 of a nature conservation organization named “A river cleanup party”. The web page 6 has a frame for displaying the product list 7, and the frame includes link information of the product list 7 (the IP address of the WWW server 31).
Address and information on the location of the file). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, a display urging the purchase of a product such as "If you are interested in our activities, please buy one of the products below" is added to the web page 6 of the group. I have. In addition, the percentage of the donated margin may be specified, such as "2% of the value of the purchased product will be donated."

In this product list, when a display portion of a specific product is clicked, an order form page is displayed on the information terminal 5. FIG. 10 shows the information terminal 5
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an order form page displayed in the form shown in FIG. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the order form page has a format similar to that of the order form shown in FIG. 2 and is displayed by the browser. The blanks in each column of the order form page
It can be entered in a text box or the like. However, as shown in FIG. 10, in this order form page, FIG.
There is no column for selecting the payee of the margin or a column for entering the margin allocation ratio as shown in Fig. 4. This is because it is assumed that all margins will be paid to the organization that owns the linked web page.

In the order form page shown in FIG. 10, when data is input and the transmission button is clicked in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the data of the order form page is sent to the WWW server 31. The WWW server 31 converts the sent data into a predetermined format in the CGI 35 and sends it to the operation server 32.

The configuration and operation of the operation server 32 are the same as those in the above-described sales system of the first embodiment except that the data is not input by the operator but is transmitted from the WWW server 31 via the intranet 33. It is almost the same as That is, when the data is sent, the reception program 132 is started, and the inventory is checked,
Creation of shipping slip, calculation of margin amount, DB for summing margins
An input to F135 is performed.

Also in this embodiment, the margin summing program 133 is executed every month, and the sum of the margin amounts in each margin summing DBF 135 is calculated as follows.
A margin payment notice is created.
Note that the margin payment notice can be sent to each organization by mail, but the operation server 32 is provided with mail software.
It may be sent by e-mail.

In the second embodiment, the network 4
The user can place an order for a product, so that ordering is easy, and labor for inputting data at the operating company can be omitted, resulting in lower labor costs. Similarly, the purchase of a product leads to donation to an arbitrary organization, which leads to sales promotion of the product.

Further, in this embodiment, since the network 4 is the Internet, and the merchandise list 7 is displayed by linking to the web page 6 of the organization of the margin payee, the member browses the web page 6 of the organization. In addition, when a person who is interested in the activity of the organization browses the web page 6, the possibility that the product list 7 will be noticed increases. This leads to further sales promotion.
Then, the organization can use its web page 6 as a means for securing a donation by purchasing a product, so that the donation can be efficiently increased.

In the second embodiment, the merchandise list 7 is linked to the web page 6 of the organization to which the margin is paid, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be provided on a web page of a sales system operating company. In this case, similarly to the order form shown in FIG. 2, the order form page is provided with columns for inputting a margin payee and a margin distribution ratio.

Further, in the second embodiment, it is more preferable that the product list 7 is selected from all available products in accordance with the request of the margin paying party. Specifically, when registering the margin payee,
A list of all the products that can be purchased is presented to the margin payee, and the user is asked to pick up items that he does not want to be posted on his web page 6. Then, an HTML file of the product list 7 is created excluding the product. Therefore, the HTML file of the product list 7 is created for each margin payee. For example, in the case of a web page 6 of a volunteer organization related to the education of children, it is not preferable to sell a magazine such as an adult magazine. Therefore, the product list 7 excluding such a magazine is used.

In each of the above embodiments, the order form is
X may be sent to the operating company. in this case,
The configuration of FAX / OCR may be adopted. That is, the receiving means may be configured to digitally process the image data read by facsimile to obtain purchaser information or the like. Therefore, the term network is used in a broad sense, and is a concept that also includes ordinary telephone line networks and the like.

In the above embodiments, the margin amounts of the same margin payee are added up, but a configuration in which they are not added up may be used. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which an order from a certain purchaser is received and a margin amount is calculated, and then the margin is paid to the margin payee on the spot. In this case, there may be a configuration in which the transfer is automatically performed from the bank account of the operating company to the account of the margin payee, or a configuration in which the margins are added up in the margin payee.

In the above embodiment, the margin payee and the margin distribution ratio are specified at the time of purchase of the product, but the purchaser may specify it in advance. For example, the use of this system is made into a membership system, and when registering as a member, a margin payee and a margin distribution ratio are designated. The designated information is stored in a database together with the member number and the like. Then, at the time of ordering, the member number or the like is notified, the database is searched to check the margin payee and the margin distribution ratio, and the order data is processed together with such information. It is preferable that such a member registration be performed on a Web page on the Internet.

In the above description, the margin distribution ratio is 5:
Although the purchaser designates the order as in the case of 1: 1, there may be a case where only the order is designated. For example, group A is 1
Order, group B is second, and group C is third. In this case, a margin distribution ratio according to the priority order is determined in advance. For example, the first place is 50%, the second place is 30%, and the third place is 30%.
20%. In each of the embodiments described above, the margin to be paid is described as a donation, but this does not necessarily mean a strict meaning of donation in tax law or the like. In some cases, sales fees are paid to organizations as donations instead of donations.

In the above description, the margin payee is registered in advance. However, it is more preferable that an unregistered margin payee can be designated. In this case, at least the organization name and contact information (telephone number, e-mail address, etc.) should be notified from the purchaser. The operator then contacts the organization and negotiates if they can accept the margin. Once the negotiations are completed, pay the margins. It is anticipated that the sales business like the present embodiment will have few margin payees at the beginning, and the above configuration is very effective in gradually increasing the registration of the margin payees.

The margin payee may be an individual as well as an organization. In addition to personal volunteer activities, for example, adventurers may use the method and system as a means of financing their adventures. In some cases, the product is delivered directly from the supplier to the purchaser. This way, the operator does not need to have inventory,
There are advantages such as space saving. Further, in each of the above embodiments, a product is sold, but a service may be sold. For example, a ticket for an airplane, a ticket for a concert, a ticket for use in an esthetic salon, and the like.

Further, the object to be purchased may be related to finance such as credit. For example, the present system can be operated for a credit card service. Specifically, the use of this system is a membership system as described above, and a credit card is issued to the member. When shopping with the credit card, the member is given the credit of "credit" by the operating company of this system, but every time he / she shopping with the credit card, a certain percentage of the margin is given to the specific organization. To be paid. Other examples include deposits with favorable interest rates (savings deposits or time deposits). Part of the interest rate on the deposit is paid to a specific entity as a margin. Further, a stock trading brokerage service may be used. When paying brokerage commissions for stock trading to securities companies, a part of the brokerage commission will be paid to a specific organization.

In the first embodiment, it is assumed that catalog sales are performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A configuration in which sales are performed based on an advertisement in a magazine or the like, a leaflet inserted into a newspaper, or the like may be used, as long as the order can be specified by specifying a payee of a margin.

[0051]

As described above, according to the invention of each claim of the present application, there is the convenience for the purchaser that the purchase of goods or services and the donation to any organization can be performed at the same time.
This leads to sales promotion for sellers and efficient collection of donations for organizations. According to the third or seventh aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above effects, the margin can be paid by specifying a plurality of different organizations, and the purchaser can determine the distribution ratio of the margin. It will be. According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above effects, a margin payment notice slip is automatically created, which is more convenient in this respect. According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above-described effects, since an order for a product can be made on a network, the convenience is further improved, and the seller has an effect of reducing labor costs. According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above effects,
Since the list is posted on the web page of the margin payee, the list is more likely to be seen and leads to sales promotion.
