Next, a procedure for purchasing a product will be described.
A customer (e.g., customer AAA) can access a customer terminal (e.g., customer
The terminal 110) connects to the Internet 100 and accesses the Internet store server 120. After connecting to the Internet store server 120, the customer sends a store entry request signal including member identification information unique to the customer (for example, member number aaa) to the Internet store server 120. The Internet store server 120 collates the member identification information included in the received entrance request signal with the registration information 31 registered in the registration information storage device 30, and receives the received member identification information (in this example, the member number aaa)
It confirms that it is the member identification information of the registered customer (in this example, customer AAA), and permits "entering" the Internet shop. Here, when "entering a store" is permitted, a password or the like may be collated in addition to the member number in order to improve security.
