TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a merchandise transaction system performed via electronic communication means (Internet), and allows a user to acquire a service point by browsing a Web page advertisement, and a merchandise transaction utilizing the service point can be performed. It relates to a service point system product transaction system that can be used.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, auctions, flea markets, and the like are known as means for trading goods between companies, between companies, and between individuals as means for trading goods through electronic communication means. When a service point is used for these merchandise transaction means, it is often added as a privilege when merchandise is transacted, when a user registers on a Web site, or when a store is registered for an auction. This service point can be used in various forms according to the services of the website, such as subsequent product transactions, benefits, presents, etc., and is used not only in electronic communication means but also in actual product transactions. I have. Promotion of sales is attempted by using a service point system, and such a system is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-205427 (sales promotion system). This system intervenes between a company that provides products and the like and a consumer who trades products and the like, and provides service points and provides products and the like in accordance with the service points, so that sales operations and the like in the company can be performed. The purpose is to realize smoothness and promotion.
[0003]
A system in which advertisement information is used as a service point addition element is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-247428 (an Internet advertisement browsing promotion system). Another object of the present invention is to create an environment system in which users want to compete and browse, and to easily realize a remarkable increase in the advertising effect.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the former system, the point is given from the mediation means after the commodity transaction, and the commodity transaction is premised. In addition, points trading, operations through games, or operations by sending your own points to others are described, but basically, when a consumer trades any product etc. from a company Since points are awarded for the first time, it becomes necessary to trade new commodities and the like. You can increase your points without trading, but you have to rely on trading points, earning through games, and transferring from others, and you have to invest mostly money to get points. No.
[0005]
On the other hand, the latter system realizes a remarkable increase in the advertising effect and the publicity effect by giving points to the user by browsing the advertisement. This point is used to pay electricity, water and other utilities, national taxes, local taxes and other taxes, vehicle inspection costs, insurance, gasoline, oil, Thailand, and other taxes. , Tolls and other expenses, telephone charges such as basic telephone charges, various charges and expenses such as insurance, etc. They pay or pay to taxpayers or tax sources. This point, like the point of the system described above, has a monetary value, but since it is an infinite number of points obtained by browsing advertisements, it must be more effectively restricted. In this case, free points can be used inexhaustibly, and the adverse effects such as browsing only for earning points cannot be ignored. However, if the use of a point is greatly restricted, the value of the point is reduced by half.
[0006]
In addition, when the use of points is restricted and the purchase of goods is performed using electronic communication means, the store owner registers the store on the Web site and opens the store, but the points are obtained inexhaustibly and the rules are restricted. When a store is opened under the same conditions, the user uses points up to the prescribed limit, and the use of the point system becomes less meaningful when discounts are made using points.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to use a point system for browsing an advertisement to increase an advertising effect and a public relations effect, and to use the obtained service points. It is an object of the present invention to provide a service point-based product transaction system and method that can expect more sales promotion effects and prevent abuse of service points in the case of product transactions.
[0008]
Note that, in the present invention, the “service point” is set in advance for each advertisement by a Web administrator, and a user connecting to the present system can use a terminal on the user side to connect a Web site as an advertisement to a user. At the time of displaying and browsing, what is given to each user is cumulatively added, and is subtracted by receiving a service using this service point.

[0020]
The intermediary system 1 transmits a Web page to a user and a store entrant via electronic communication means, and performs processing for input of the user and the store entrant received using the electronic communication means.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the above-described user terminal 2 and the store clerk terminal 3.
[0022]
FIG. 3 is a system configuration diagram of the mediation system 1.
[0023]
The mediation system 1 includes a user registration unit 8 for registering a user in the present system, a user information storage unit 9 for storing user registration information, and a user information database in which the user registration information is stored. 16, an acquired point information database 17 in which the acquired points of the user are stored, an advertisement information database 18 in which the advertisement information by the Web page is stored, a store registration means 10 for registering the store opening, and a store registration From the store registration information database 19, the store opening pattern setting means 11 for determining the store opening pattern, and the store opening price of the product determined by the store owner, the cash price in consideration of the number of service points possessed by the user. Price calculating means 12 for calculating, and a point for converting acquired points into service points and converting service points into acquired points. Point conversion means 13, a point conversion rate database 21 storing point conversion rates, a product information database 20 storing information on products to be opened, and acquisition for reading acquired points from the acquired point information database 17. It has a configuration comprising point reading means 14 and acquired point storage means 15 for storing acquired points in an acquired point information database 17.
[0024]
First, when a user intends to use the present system, it is necessary to perform user registration to the mediation system 1.
[0025]
The user who wishes to use displays the web page of the enrollment registration provided from the mediation system 1 on the user-side display means 5 of the user terminal 2 of the user, and displays the user-side input means 4 of the user terminal 2. The registration information such as the address, name, age, and telephone number, which is the personal information of the applicant, is transmitted to the mediation system 1. In the mediation system 1 that has received the personal information of the user who wishes to use, the user registration means 8 determines whether there is any defect in the personal information, and if there is no defect, registers the user information in the user information database 16. And the system can be used when it is recognized as a user.
[0026]
After the user registration is completed, the user browses the advertisement information using the user terminal 2. As a result, the user obtains the advertisement information and also obtains points called acquisition points assigned to each piece of advertisement information from the mediation system 1 side. The earned points can be accumulated mainly by browsing the advertisement information, and can also be obtained by purchasing goods, requesting materials to the advertiser, and the like. Further, by receiving the service using the acquired points, the acquired points for the service used are subtracted from the accumulated points. The acquired points obtained by the user are stored and used in the acquired point information database 17 in the mediation system 1 in association with the registered information of the user.
[0027]
The advertisement information browsed by the user is stored in the advertisement information database 18 of the mediation system 1. First, the advertisement list, which is a list of advertisement information, is transmitted from the mediation system 1 to the user terminal 2 as a Web page. You. This advertisement list is displayed on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2, the user selects an advertisement desired to be viewed, and the selected advertisement information is further described in detail in the advertisement information database 18 in the mediation system 1. Is read out, transmitted as a Web page to the user terminal 2 via the electronic communication means, and can be displayed and viewed on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2. In addition, when displaying the advertisement list, the number of points acquired by browsing each advertisement information is also described on the Web page, and the user may select the advertisement information to browse with reference to the number. Is also possible. At this time, when the user makes a request for materials to the advertiser, the user can acquire more points aside from browsing the advertisement information.
[0028]
By browsing the advertisement information selected by the user using the user-side display means 5, the user can acquire the number of acquired points described in the advertisement list as acquired points. This is controlled by the point calculation means in the mediation system 1 and controlled by the exchange with the acquired point information storage means in which the acquired point information which is the number of acquired points possessed before browsing by the user is stored. You. First, the acquired point calculation means reads the acquired point information of the user who has viewed the advertisement information from the acquired point information database 17, and owns the number of acquired points set in the browsed advertisement information at the present time of the user. Add to the number of points earned. Thereafter, this operation is repeated every time the advertisement information is viewed, so that the points acquired by the user are cumulatively added. Further, the same addition is performed at the time of purchasing a product and requesting a material.
[0029]
As described above, when the user browses an advertisement, purchases a product, requests a document, and the like, the points obtained by the user are cumulatively added, and the obtained points can be used for product transactions separately performed on a Web page. However, the acquired points are converted into service points at the time of product purchase at a predetermined conversion rate, which will be described later. The acquired points of the user are appropriately controlled by the acquired point reading means 14 and the acquired point storage means 15 when the acquired points are used or when the acquired points are acquired.
[0030]
In the case where a store clerk sells a product using the present system, the store clerk needs to register a store with the intermediary system 1.
[0031]
The store clerk who wishes to open a store uses the store clerk terminal 3 to display a Web page for store registration sent from the mediation system 1 via the electronic communication means on the store side display means 7, and displays the Web page. The store opening information is input by the store side input means 6 of the store terminal 3 according to the above, and the store opening information is transmitted to the mediation server. In the intermediary system 1 that has received the store opening information, the store opening registration means 10 determines whether there is any defect in the store opening information, and if there is no defect, registers the store opening information in the store opening information database. In addition, at the time of store registration, a store opening pattern is set by a store entrant.
[0032]
Several kinds of store opening patterns are prepared as options in the store opening pattern setting means 11 in the mediation system 1, and it is assumed that the store owner can freely select. This store opening pattern is a pattern of a service point usage limit when a user purchases a product, and a store opening cost paid by the store operator to the system administrator who manages the intermediary system 1 at the time of opening the store. Have a relationship.
[0033]
This means that the more the shopper selects a pattern that increases the store opening cost at the time of opening the shop, the more the service point that the user can use during the transaction of the product is increased. Since the service points of the user are obtained by converting the acquired points, the service points can be obtained by the user browsing the advertisement information, requesting materials to the advertiser, additional services when purchasing the product, etc. It is possible to obtain the service points substantially free and unlimited, and in the case of commodity transactions, using the service points owned by the user can be considered to be discounted by the service points. As a result, even if a store clerk opens a similar product, the store is opened at a different discount rate depending on the store opening pattern, and differentiation is achieved.
[0034]
The store opening pattern setting unit 11 transmits a store opening pattern option to the store owner terminal 3 via the electronic communication unit and sets the store opening selected by the store outlet terminal 3 in order to set the store opening pattern of the store owner. The store information is stored in the store information database in association with the store information based on the pattern. Further, the store clerk also registers the merchandise to be opened in the mediation system 1, and the merchandise system 1 registers the merchandise for the store in the merchandise information database 20 via the merchandise registration means.
[0035]
After all registrations have been made, the store is opened, and the store is displayed on a Web page on which a list of stores is described.
[0036]
Hereinafter, a case where a user purchases a product from a store will be described.
[0037]
The user can see the stores opened by all the stores by referring to the Web page of the store list obtained from the mediation system 1 via the electronic communication means on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2. it can. The store opening list also includes a description of the store opening pattern described above, so that the user can grasp how much the service points owned by the user can use.
[0038]
The service points are obtained by converting the acquired points owned by the user. The acquired points of the user stored in the acquired point information database 17 are read using the acquired point information reading means, and sent to the point conversion means 13. The point conversion means 13 refers to the conversion rate of acquired points to service points stored in the point conversion rate database 21 and performs conversion to service points. As an example, assuming that the conversion rate of the acquired points is 0.3 service points, the service points of the users having the acquired points of 10,000 points are converted and displayed as 3,000 service points, and thereafter, up to 20% of the displayed price. Descriptions such as the availability of service points can be referred to for each store opening.
[0039]
Further, the acquired points can be converted into service points at other external points. The external points are points converted from points obtained from other companies or sites into service points based on the point conversion rates stored in the point conversion rate database 21 and converted to service points. It can be used.
[0040]
In order to use the point conversion rate database 21, only external points whose conversion rates are stored in the point conversion rate database 21 can be used, but conversion is restricted only to the acquired points obtained by browsing advertisements of this system. Absent.
[0041]
If there is no point conversion rate database 21 or point conversion means 13, the acquired points can be used as service points, and the number of acquired points can be used as a service point.
[0042]
FIG. 4 is an example of a store opening pattern.
[0043]
FIG. 5 is an example of service point calculation at the time of product purchase.
[0044]
Further, it is possible for the user to search for products using the search function for the products desired to be traded, and to search by shoppers, service point usage limits, and the like. When searching for a product sold by the user, a store that sells the product desired by the user is searched using the product information database 20, and the corresponding store read from the store information database is listed. It is displayed on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2 on a Web page. At this time, a store opening pattern is also displayed for each store opening, and even for the same product, a store having a higher discount rate, that is, a store with a higher service point usage limit can be selected according to the user's preference.
[0045]
The user who has found the desired store and the desired product, browses the store as a Web page by using the user-side input means 4 of the user terminal 2 and selecting an arbitrary store from the corresponding store list. . When the user browses the store and finds a desired product to purchase, the mediation system 1 performs a purchase process by inputting a purchase decision through the user-side input means 4 of the user terminal 2. .
[0046]
After the user's intention to select a product is input from the user-side input means 4 of the user terminal 2, the price calculation means 12 of the mediation system 1 checks the store opening pattern stored in the store opening database for the purchase decision and the store opening pattern. In consideration of the information of the product for which the purchase decision is stored in the product database and the acquired points of the user who made the purchase decision stored in the acquired point information storage means, the user is actually paid as cash. The details of the amount to be paid and the amount that can be paid using the service point are calculated and displayed on the user-side display means 5 of the user terminal 2. The displayed elements include the list price of the product desired by the store user to purchase, the service point usage limit of the store, the payment price of the user's purchase desired product in cash, and the use of the service point of the user purchase product. There is an additional amount of earned points for the possible price and cash payment price.
[0047]
It is to be noted that if the store clerk decides how to add points to the cash payment price, the store is further differentiated for each store. In other words, the higher the earned point redemption rate with respect to the cash set by the store clerk, the more the user's willingness to purchase can be inspired and the use by the user can be expected. Of course, in response to this earned point redemption, the store clerk must follow the responsibility of paying the earned point fee for the redemption to the manager of the intermediary system 1.
[0048]
If the display of the point redemption rate is described together with the store opening list when the user browses the Web page of the store opening list using the user-side display means 5 of the user terminal 2, the display for the user is This system can be used as a criterion for selecting a store, and the system can be operated more effectively.
[0049]
By confirming the above elements, the user can make a transaction decision after confirming the price to be actually paid.
[0050]
Based on the result, the user inputs his / her intention of deciding to trade goods from the user terminal 2 by using the user input means 4 of the user terminal 2 so that the transaction processing in the intermediary system 1 is performed.
[0051]
After the user's transaction determination input is made, the mediation system 1 notifies the shopkeeper terminal 3 that a commodity transaction has been made. The mediation system 1 stores information on the acquired points owned by the user stored in the acquired point information database 17, the commodity information database 20, and the store opening information database, information on the price of the product, and the like for the merchandise for which the transaction is determined. Considering the pattern, the acquired points are converted into service points, and the final purchase process is performed based on the store opening pattern. The service point usage limit calculated by the price calculation means 12 is subtracted from the service points owned by the user, and the remaining number of service points is the number of service points owned by the user. When the purchase is completed, it is converted into earned points and stored in the earned point information database 17. If the number of service points available for product purchase calculated by the price calculation means 12 is larger than the number of service points owned by the user, all the service points owned by the user are used, The remaining amount is calculated as a cash price.
[0052]
The number of service points used may be determined by the user's input.
[0053]
The difference between the service point used by the user and the store opening price is borne by the administrator of the mediation system 1, and the user's purchase of the product is terminated.
[0054]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart when the user uses the present system.
[0055]
The user registers the user in order to use the present system (step S101). The registration of the user is performed using the user registration means 8 of the mediation system 1, and the user registration is performed by registering the user's personal information such as the user's name, address, and telephone number in the mediation system 1. Done. After the registration is completed without any defect, the user can browse the advertisement information and accumulate the earned points.
[0056]
After the user registration is completed, the user can browse the advertisement information (step S102). The browsing of the advertisement is performed by displaying the advertisement information stored in advance in the advertisement information database 18 as a Web page on the user-side display unit 5 of the user terminal 2. As for the advertisement information browsed by the user, all the advertisement information is first displayed as a list on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2, and the advertisement information desired by the user is selected from the list. Thus, a Web page that is the details is displayed.
[0057]
At the same time as the user browses the advertisement information, the user can acquire a predetermined point for the browsed advertisement information (step S103).
[0058]
The acquired points selected by the user are stored in the acquired point information database 17 in the mediation system 1. The acquired points of the acquired point information database 17 are stored in association with the user information of the user information database 16.
[0059]
The acquired points obtained by browsing the advertisement information by the user are read from the acquired point information database 17, the obtained points are added to the read acquired point information, and the added result is obtained as the acquired point information. This is performed by storing it in the database 17.
[0060]
When further advertisement information is to be browsed (step S104: YES), the process returns to the advertisement browsing step (step S102), and otherwise (step S104: NO), the process proceeds to step S105.
[0061]
When the advertisement browsing is completed and the product is not purchased from the store (NO in step S105), the process ends. When the product is purchased from the store (YES in step S105), the store list is browsed (step S106).
[0062]
At this time, the acquired points owned by the user are converted into service points using the point conversion means 13 (step S107). If there is an external point (step S108: YES), conversion of the external point to a service point is also performed simultaneously (step S109).
[0063]
The store opening list can be browsed by displaying it on the user side display means 5 of the user terminal 2 from the store opening information database in the mediation system 1.
[0064]
From the list of stores, the user selects a store to purchase a product based on various conditions such as a product desired by the user and a store opening pattern (step S110). The user can narrow down store openings according to desired conditions, and can arbitrarily select store openings according to the user's wishes.
