Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a purchasing system using a cellular phone, which receives a product or service information, transmits a purchase intention of a predetermined product or service from the cellular phone, and performs a purchasing procedure, and data to be provided. The present invention relates to a transmission device, a provision target data transmission method, a purchase processing device, a purchase processing method, a mobile phone, a data sorting method, and an information recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, electronic commerce that provides goods or services using the Internet has been increasing.
In the case of electronic commerce, cash cannot be used for settlement, and electronic settlement is usually performed. In electronic payment, when a purchaser decides to purchase a certain product, it is necessary to input his / her name, address, telephone number, credit card account, etc. before and after the purchase is confirmed.

On the other hand, the penetration rate of mobile phones is increasing year by year. Today, mobile phones have become a way of communication beyond mobile. In addition, services for connecting to the Internet from mobile phones have been introduced. Compared with a personal computer, a mobile phone has the advantage that even a person without advanced knowledge can use it easily. It is lighter and smaller than mobile. For this reason, it has become increasingly common to book tickets or surf the Internet through a mobile phone.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned electronic commerce has the following problems. One is that credit company fees are high. With electronic payments made in electronic commerce, identity verification is difficult. For this reason, the credit company sets a higher commission than the ordinary credit card payment in consideration of the danger that the price of the product cannot be collected.

[0005] A second problem is that minors cannot participate in commerce. As mentioned above, in e-commerce,
Electronic payment by credit card is essential. For this reason, minors who cannot have a credit card cannot basically participate in electronic commerce. Therefore, at the moment, many age groups with mobile phones
It is located outside the e-commerce net.
This has been a major pain for companies that sell goods for young people.

[0006] The third problem is that, in electronic commerce, the labor for inputting a credit card account, name, and the like is large. Entering a credit card account, name, and the like on a transaction site is a difficult task even with a personal computer having a keyboard. The use of mobile phones is even more difficult. This is because the key of the mobile phone is extremely small, and the hiragana input must be performed using a key that is basically only numbers. Recently, keyboards have been sold that connect to mobile phones to facilitate input. But in this,
The convenience of using only a mobile phone is negative.

[0007] A fourth problem is that personal information is leaked. In electronic commerce, personal information input by a purchaser flows to a transaction site or a transaction agent's site via the Internet. In the Internet, personal information reaches a target site via various servers. Therefore, there is a risk that personal information is stolen somewhere, unlike the case where connection is made by a dedicated line.

[0008] The fifth problem is a problem in a case where a notice of a product or service (advertisement) is notified to a consumer by e-mail. An e-mail attached with image data takes time to receive. For this reason, consumers who receive advertisements are reluctant to receive e-mails with images with large data volumes attached. In particular, the memory capacity of a mobile phone is very small as compared with a personal computer.
For this reason, when receiving an advertisement e-mail using a mobile phone, the existence of image data is an obstacle.

[0009] In order to solve such a problem, generally, a delivered mail is set as an HTML mail, and when a URL on the mail is clicked, the mail is directed to a home page having the URL. Therefore, it is possible to send a mail to be delivered to a mobile phone without adding image data. However, if it is not possible to grasp the contents of a product or service unless all image data is designated one by one, the burden on the purchaser is large.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and can reduce the commission of a credit company, allow minors to participate, simplify input at the time of purchase, and improve personal information.

Specifically, it is determined whether or not the image data is image data having a predetermined capacity or more, whether or not the purchase frequency is equal to or less than a predetermined value, or whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed from the release date and time. this is,
This is because the commercial server 3 stores the image data that the purchaser does not need to see or the image data that has a large data capacity and requires transmission and storage.

Note that the specific image data may be transmitted to the mobile phone 2 after being marked, without being stored in the commercial server 3. This is because if the data transmission speed is sufficiently high, an electronic mail with all the image data attached may be transmitted to the mobile phone 2. In such a case, it is preferable to transmit the marked specific image data to the terminal connected to the mobile phone 2 and store the specific image data in the terminal. This is to minimize the use of the memory of the mobile phone 2.

The data editing unit 35 writes the address indicating the storage location of the specific image data in the e-mail, and when the purchaser specifies the address, the specific data stored at the predetermined address in the commercial server 3 This is data editing means for extracting image data. It should be noted that data editing may be performed by attaching a mark to a specific image data location. In such a case, the mobile phone 2 determines the marked image data and transmits it to the terminal.

The editing data transmitting section 36 is a data editing section 3
5 is an editing data transmitting means for receiving the electronic mail edited in 5 and transmitting the electronic mail to the mobile phone 2. The storage unit 37 is a storage unit that receives an e-mail from the operator of the transaction site, temporarily stores the e-mail, and stores specific image data.

The edit data storage unit 68 is an edit data storage unit that stores the edited electronic mail that has been edited so that the image data can be read from the terminal 7 by removing the image data.

Next, the flow of the purchasing system of the proxy server 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the proxy server 1 receives a purchase code from the mobile phone 2 (step S201). The proxy server 1 stores a purchase code, a product / service database 15
Is checked against the purchase code stored in the
Specify the goods, etc., the receiving method, etc. (Step S20)
2).

Next, the proxy server 1 specifies a purchaser, a credit account, and the like from the ID unique to the mobile phone (step S203). Next, the proxy server 1 transmits an e-mail of the confirmation data to the mobile phone 2 that has transmitted the purchase code (step S204).

Next, the proxy server 1 determines whether or not there is a response from the mobile phone 2 (step S20).
5). If there is no response, the procedure ends. on the other hand,
If there is a response from the mobile phone 2, the proxy server 1
A purchase confirmation process is performed (step S206).

The agent server 1 determines whether or not the product or the like desired by the purchaser can be provided by the agent server 1 itself (step S207). As a result, if the proxy server 1 can provide the product, the product is shipped (step S208). On the other hand, if you can not provide,
The proxy server 1 notifies the trading site that an order has been received and an order notification that prompts the customer to send out products and the like (step S20).
9).

Next, the proxy server 1 performs a charging process for collecting the price of the product and the like together with the call charge (step S).
210). The processing of the proxy server 1 ends with the flow of the procedure.

Next, the processing when the commercial server 3 transmits an e-mail will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The commercial server 3 receives an e-mail from a business partner (step S301). The commercial server 3 determines whether there is image data larger than the reference data capacity (Step S302). As a result, if there is image data having a data capacity larger than the standard, the commercial server 3
Saves the image data in the storage unit 37 of the commercial server 3 (step S303). And the commercial server 3
The data of the e-mail is edited to be an edited e-mail (step S304).

More specifically, a description that links to image data having a data capacity larger than a predetermined reference is added. The data capacity of the predetermined reference can be set to a desired capacity such as 40 kB. Alternatively, the storage unit 37 may store the image data of the commodities below the criterion based on whether or not there is a purchase frequency of 10,000 or more per month instead of the data capacity.

Further, it may be based on whether or not two weeks or more have passed since the release date and time. In such a case, the storage unit 3 stores the image data of the product that has passed two weeks or more from the release date
7 may be stored. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a criterion combining two or more of the data capacity of the image data, the purchase frequency of the product, and the release date and time of the product, and store those that do not meet the criterion in the storage unit 37. It is.

On the other hand, in step S302, if there is only image data smaller than the predetermined reference data capacity, the commercial server 3 transmits the e-mail directly to the mobile phone 2 without editing the e-mail (step S305). ). With this processing, the transmission of the e-mail by the commercial server 3 ends.

Next, a process in which the mobile phone 2 edits an e-mail transmitted from the commercial server 3 and saves specific image data in the terminal 7 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

In the commercial server 3, in the flowchart of FIG. 9, step S303 is not performed, and in step S304, data indicating the presence of image data is added to the product data related to the specific image data. Perform editing processing. Steps other than steps S303 and S304 are the same as those in the flowchart of FIG.

Upon receiving the transmitted e-mail (step S401), the mobile phone 2 determines whether or not there is data to be provided with a mark (step S402). As a result, if there is no mark, the process proceeds to step S405.

On the other hand, when there is provided data to be provided with the mark, the mobile phone 2 receives the image data of the data to be provided with the mark, and transmits the image data to the terminal 7 as it is (step S403). Then, the mobile phone 2 edits the e-mail data with a description linked to the transmitted image data (step S404). Next, mobile phone 2
Saves the edited or unedited e-mail data in the storage unit 68 (step S405). With this series of steps, the processing from reception to storage of the e-mail is completed.

The data transmitting / receiving unit 1 of the proxy server 1
1. Instead of the purchase content specifying unit 14, the purchaser specifying unit 16, the confirmation data transmitting unit 18, the accounting processing unit 19, and the order notification unit 21, a purchase code receiving step, a purchase content specifying step, a purchaser specifying step, and confirmation data Sending step,
An information recording medium storing a program including a billing process step and an order notification step may be read into a computer to perform the same function.

An information recording medium storing a program that does not include at least one of the confirmation data step and the order notification step may be used.

Also, instead of the storage section 37, the specific image data determination section 34, the data editing section 35, and the edited data transmission section 36 of the commercial server 3, a storage step, a specific image data determination step, a data editing step, and edited data transmission are performed. An information recording medium storing a program including the steps may be read by a computer to perform the same function.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Further, the provision target may be not only a product but also a service.
Also, the purchase code is only numbers, only alphabets,
Various codes such as a mixture of numbers and alphabets can be adopted.

[0107] The billing process may be a process of summing the call charge and the price of the product or the like, or may be a separate billing process. That is, the billing process is
Any billing method may be used as long as it can be billed along with the call charge.

The data to be provided may be in the form of an e-mail transmitted from the commercial server 3 or may be posted on a magazine or a homepage. Further, the purchase order receiving device may be a device managed by a company specialized in shipping, instead of the same device as the commercial server 3.

Further, when receiving the purchase code transmitted from the mobile phone 2, the proxy server 1 does not necessarily need to transmit confirmation data to the purchaser. However, the confirmation reduces the risk of erroneous sending of goods or the like or erroneous billing processing. Therefore, it is better to transmit confirmation data.

Further, the proxy server 1 does not necessarily need to have the order notification means. For example, when the proxy server 1 handles shipping of goods and the like in one hand, the order notification means may not be provided. Alternatively, even when the order notification is performed by a method other than the electronic communication, the order notification means in the above embodiment is not required.

The mark provided by the commercial server 3 or the mobile phone 2 to the data to be provided can be a special tag or a special color. Further, instead of marking the target data having special image data, the target data having no special image data may be marked.
