DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product proposal system, a product proposal device, a customer-side image transmitting terminal, a product proposer-side terminal, a customer-side browsing terminal, and a program and a program recording medium for use in electronic commerce. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic commerce for presenting goods and services to customers via a computer network such as the Internet and selling the goods in response to orders from the customers has become popular.

[0003] In general electronic commerce, a WWW server is set up on the Internet, a photograph of a product or service is posted on a homepage to be published by the WWW server, and a customer views the order and places an order online. Has become.

[0004] The development and spread of digital cameras and digital video have made it easier for general consumers to create digitized images (image data), and these image data are freely available via networks. Exchangeable infrastructure is in place.

[0005]

Generally, photograph data of products and the like posted on a homepage merely list products and the like, and there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the customer's willingness to purchase.

[0006] In other words, in the real world, a sales person or the like contacts a customer one-on-one at a store to explain a product or the like.
In the case of selling, it is possible to listen to the tastes and needs of individual customers, and to make a product proposal suitable for them, thereby motivating the customers to purchase.

[0007] However, in the current electronic commerce, the seller cannot do anything until the customer indicates the intention to purchase, as in the conventional mail-order sales, and it must be said that this is an extremely passive sales method. .

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and uses the image data provided by the customer to actively propose products that meet the needs and preferences of each customer. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product proposal device and a product proposal system which enable the product proposal.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs the following means to provide an active method for making proposals in electronic commerce that meet the needs and preferences of each customer. It offers a high level of sales and service.

[0010] In the present invention, "goods" include services.

[0011] [Claim 1] The invention according to claim 1 comprises a customer-side image transmission terminal, a product proposal device, a product proposer terminal, a customer-side viewing terminal, and a communication network connecting the terminals. It is intended to provide a structured product proposal system.

In this system, the customer-side image transmission terminal transmits customer image data, which is an image of a product object prepared by the customer, to the product proposal device via a communication network.

The merchandise proposal device receives customer image data from the customer image transmission terminal via a communication network, and transmits the customer image data to the commodity proposer terminal via the communication network.

The product proposer side terminal receives the customer image data transmitted from the product proposal device, processes the customer image data and embodies the product proposal, and provides the product proposal device to the product proposal device via the communication network. To send.

The product proposal device receives the proposal image data and transmits it to the customer-side viewing terminal.

The customer-side browsing device receives the proposed image data transmitted from the product proposal device via the communication network, and displays the proposed image data.

According to this system, the customer can obtain a proposal suitable for his / her proposal from the product proposer, and can select a proposal that meets his / her tastes and needs.
If a large number of merchandise proposers are registered, the customer can receive various proposals from many merchandise proposers with one proposal request, and the number of options increases.

On the other hand, the product proposer can draft a proposal suitable for the customer's proposal target from the customer image, and create proposal image data that embodies the proposal by processing the customer image data.

Product proposal system 100 having the above configuration
Will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the product proposal system according to the present invention.

First, the proposal requesting terminal device 300 transmits image data of a customer image to the product proposal server 200 (1001). The customer image registration unit 202 of the product proposal server 200 stores the received image data of the customer image in the customer image data storage unit 203 (1002). Next, the proposal requesting terminal device 300 transmits the customer request information to the product proposal server 200 (1003). Product Proposal Server 20
The customer request receiving unit 204 of 0 stores the customer request information in the customer request information storage unit 205 (1004). Next, the proposer selection unit 206 of the product proposal server 200 searches the proposer information stored in the proposer information storage unit 207 based on the product name in the customer request information, and selects a corresponding product proposer ( 1005).

When the product proposal terminal device 400 requests transmission of a customer image (1006), the customer image providing unit 208
If the requester is the selected product proposer, the access is permitted and the customer image is transmitted (1007). The product proposer drafts a proposal suitable for the proposal target from the received customer image and creates a proposal image that embodies the proposal by processing the customer image (1008). Next, the product proposal terminal device 400 transmits the image data of the proposal image to the product proposal server 200 (1009). Product Proposal Server 2
The proposal image registration unit 209 stores the received proposal image in the proposal image data storage unit 210 (1010).

The browsing device 500 is a product proposal server 200
Is requested to browse the proposed image (1011). The proposal image providing unit 211 of the product proposal server 200 reads the proposal image for the customer from the proposal image data storage unit 203, and transmits it to the browsing device 500 (1012). The browsing device 500 displays the proposal image (1013).

According to such a product proposal system 100, a customer can obtain a proposal suitable for his / her proposal target from a product proposer, so that the customer can select a proposal that meets his / her tastes and needs. If a large number of merchandise proposers are registered, the customer can receive various proposals from many merchandise proposers with one proposal request, and the number of options increases.

On the other hand, the product proposer can draft a proposal suitable for the customer's proposal target from the customer image, and create a proposal image that embodies the proposal by processing the customer image. Then, the proposal image is registered in the product proposal server 200, and the customer can browse and make a proposal. As described above, the product proposer can make an active and active product proposal that is difficult in the conventional electronic commerce, and can increase the customer's willingness to purchase.

In the present embodiment, the proposer selection unit 2
In step 06, the customer image is selectively transmitted to the product proposer selected based on the proposer information stored in the proposer information storage unit 207 in advance. In the present embodiment, the product proposer is selected based on the product name of the customer request information and the product name ready to be provided in the product proposer information. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a customer requests a proposal, a person requesting a proposal is designated from a list of registered product proposers, and this is sent to the product proposal server 200 as customer request information. After registering, the product proposal server 200 can also select the designated product proposer.
