Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural explanatory view of the system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a server computer, which comprehensively controls a transaction system for buying and selling currency via a computer network. For example, access is made from a customer terminal 3 connected via the Internet 2. If received, display processing of an order input screen on the customer terminal 3; when input of trading desired information is received based on the order input screen, the exchange rate at the time of the target currency is used as the transaction price. Displaying and starting the measurement of a predetermined transaction effective time; when the order information is received within the transaction effective time, it is determined that the contract for sale has been established, and the transaction price information and the trade request information are considered. The process of storing as contract information;
When the input of the transaction price update information is received within the transaction effective time, the exchange rate at that time is updated and displayed as the transaction price, and the measurement of the predetermined transaction effective time is reset; After the lapse of time, it is determined that the contract has not been established, so that rejection processing of the order information and the transaction price update information is rejected.

Next, the operation of the system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 showing a schematic flowchart of an information processing step and FIG. 3 showing an example of a display screen of a customer terminal.

First, when the server computer 1 is accessed by inputting a user name, a password, or the like of the customer from the customer terminal 3, the system starts operating (step 10). The order input screen 4 is displayed (step 11). Although the specific display configuration of this order input screen does not matter, in the example shown in FIG. 3 (1), the current exchange rate is changed to the yen by converting the current exchange rate into a currency such as dollar, euro, etc. Similarly, for reference, the type of currency desired to buy and sell, the contract month (for example, the contract month of the 3, 6, 9, and 12 months including the current month), the distinction of trading, and the number of sheets (trading volume: for example, 100,000 per sheet) The system is configured so that trading desired information such as an expiration date (in case of a limit order), an execution condition (marketing, a limit order, a stop order), and a limit specification (trading price) can be selected and input.

Next, based on the order input screen 4, purchase / sale information such as the type of currency desired to buy / sell and the distinction between trades is sequentially selected and input (step 12). Is displayed on the order details confirmation screen 5 (step 13a), and when "market" is selected and input as one of the trading request information, it is appropriately calculated based on the prevailing rate at the time of receiving the input. The exchange rate is displayed as a transaction price on the order details confirmation screen 5 together with a predetermined transaction effective time (step 13b), and at the same time, the measurement of the transaction effective time is started. By the way, in the example shown in FIG. 3 (2), the market purchase of US dollars is input and displayed as the customer's buying / selling information, and the fact that 110.58 (yen) is valid for 10 seconds as the transaction price is presented. Is displayed. The display screen of the transaction price and the transaction effective time is not limited to the order confirmation screen 5, but may be displayed on the order input screen 4 or may be displayed on the screen as appropriate.

It is advantageous to display the progress of the transaction effective time on the order confirmation screen 5 because the remaining time becomes clear in consideration of whether or not the customer places an order. In this case, the progress may be in the form of a countdown display method of numbers, but FIG.
Bar graph (time limit bar) as shown
Displaying in B is desirable because of its excellent visibility.

Next, when an order is selected and input within the transaction effective time (step 14), a trade is executed between the customer and the server computer operator at the transaction price (step 15). As a result, the trade request information is stored as trade information together with the trade price information (step 16), and the present system is terminated by a termination operation of the customer terminal 3 (step 20).

When a transaction price update is selected and input within the transaction effective time (step 17), the exchange rate appropriately calculated based on the prevailing rate at the time of receiving the input is updated and displayed as the transaction price. At the same time, the transaction effective time is reset and the measurement is restarted, so that the customer can consider whether to place an order again or update the transaction price within the time. If the transaction price update is selected and input within the time, the transaction price is updated and displayed each time, and the transaction effective time is reset.

[0015] On the other hand, within the transaction effective time, there is no order input or transaction price update input, and after the predetermined time has elapsed (step 18), the trade is not executed (step 19). ) As a matter of fact, if you choose to place an order or update the transaction price,
For example, the screen is changed to an unsuccessful screen to make it impossible to input, and the system is terminated by an end operation of the customer terminal 3 (step 20).

[0016]

According to the system of the present invention, the exchange rate is displayed on the customer terminal as the actual transaction price instead of the reference price, so that the customer confirms his / her transaction price in advance even if it is a market order. Since there is no concern about fluctuations in the exchange rate, it is possible to always buy and sell currencies at a reasonable price without disappointing expectations.

In addition, according to the system of the present invention, the customer can use the transaction price, that is, the exchange rate fluctuation value which can be used as the transaction price by himself / herself, within a predetermined time, to discriminate between the type of currency and the trade. Can be updated and displayed as many times as you want without having to enter
Since it is possible to easily confirm the rate fluctuation and to consider the time without any complicated input operation, it is possible to buy and sell the currency while responding to the rate fluctuation and without losing time.
