[Problems to be solved by the invention]
There is a demand that the person in charge of the manufacturer wants to reduce as much as possible the paperwork such as issuing a temporary order slip, giving priority to dealing with visitors. In addition, business meetings are usually held for several days. In the method of issuing a temporary order slip by hand, for example, by the day before, it is possible to obtain information such as which products and how many negotiations have been completed, and what kind of visitors have completed negotiations. It is difficult, and there is a problem that such information cannot be used for subsequent product explanations and business negotiations.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and in a negotiation and spot sale, the tentative order processing of the exhibitor is simplified, and information on the result of the negotiation can be promptly fed back to the exhibitor. The task is to provide a meeting system.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a two-dimensional code of a visitor prepared for each visitor obtained by encoding a character string in which a visitor's identification information is added as a parameter to a particular URL, A two-dimensional code of a product obtained by encoding a character string obtained by adding a product identification information and a transaction condition information as parameters to a URL and a product prepared for each transaction condition of the product, and a two-dimensional code of a character string representing the URL , An information terminal having a function of transmitting an HTTP request through a network by designating the URL, and a receiving server having a function of receiving the HTTP request, executing a process required by the URL, and returning a result And a negotiation spot sale system composed of
The receiving server includes a database for managing negotiation closing information and a receiving processing program for performing registration processing in the database. The receiving processing program is included in a plurality of HTTP requests received within a certain time interval. If the identification information of the information terminal of the transmission source matches, one registration process is performed by connecting the parameters added to the request,
The attendant of the exhibitor reads the two-dimensional code of the visitor and the two-dimensional code of the product by the information terminal, and transmits an HTTP request to the URL to be decrypted by the same portable information terminal. By continuously performing the above, the reception processing program collects the parameters representing the visitor identification information, the product identification information, and the transaction condition information included in the received request, and collects the negotiation contract information as information of one reception processing. Is registered in a database that manages
[0007]
As the information terminal, a mobile phone with a digital camera equipped with a two-dimensional code reading function (Non-Patent Document 1) may be used. Alternatively, personal digital assistance having a digital camera may be used. Alternatively, a personal computer having a WWW browser connected to a two-dimensional code reader may be used. For example, a QR code is used as the two-dimensional code. According to such a business negotiation sales system, when a negotiation is concluded, the exhibitor staff reads the two-dimensional code with a camera-equipped mobile phone instead of hand-writing a copy slip and creating a temporary order slip. The decryption and transmission operation can be performed simply by performing the operation at least twice, and it is possible to focus on dealing with the original visitors.
[0008]
A second invention for solving the problem is a data input method of negotiation contract information,
A visitor prepares a two-dimensional code for each visitor who codes a character string in which identification information of the visitor is added as a parameter to a specific URL, and the visitor has the two-dimensional code.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a negotiation and spot sale party system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 100 means a negotiation spot sale venue. The visitor obtains the visitor badge 10 at the time of acceptance, attaches it to the chest of the jacket, etc., and enters. On the badge 10, a two-dimensional code 11 is printed. Two-dimensional codes 21 and 22 containing information obtained by multiplying information for specifying a product, (product information) and information on order conditions such as the order quantity (order condition information) are posted in each booth of the negotiation spot sale venue. A product catalog 20 is prepared corresponding to the displayed product. Reference numeral 300 denotes equipment of a reception center. Reference numeral 30 denotes a receiving server. The accepting server 30 includes WWW server software and an accepting management program 32 that perform operations of distributing data and returning a processing result in response to a request message according to the HTTP protocol. Upon receiving the order entry information), the reception management program 32 is called. The reception management program 32 has a function of registering necessary information in the sales information database 31 and outputting necessary forms.
[0014]
The negotiation spot sales hall 100 and the equipment 300 of the reception center are connected by a network constituted by a network 8 of the mobile phone operator and the Internet 9. The mobile phone 5 operated by the explanation clerk at the negotiation spot sale hall 100 plays a role as an input terminal of the system 1. The mobile phone 5 reads the two-dimensional code representing the URL, decodes the two-dimensional code, generates a hyperlink to the decoding result, and displays the hyperlink on the liquid crystal screen. When this hyperlink is selected, the mobile phone network (See Non-Patent Document 1). This request message is converted into an HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) request message by a gateway (not shown) installed in the network 8 of the mobile phone carrier, relayed to the Internet 9 and finally received by the receiving center. It will be received by the 300 receiving servers 30.
[0015]
In the following description, a business negotiation sales event is held by a housing equipment manufacturer, and is described assuming a business negotiation sales event only for invited guests. First, the two-dimensional code and the operation of the mobile phone 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. The two-dimensional code 11 printed on the visitor badge 10 includes a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that calls a reception management program 32 provided in the reception server 30 installed in the reception center 300, and information on the visitor. Is coded as a parameter (110 shown in FIG. 2). The visitor information includes the name of the visitor, the name of the affiliation (the name of the construction company, the name of the store, etc.), the affiliation code and the like. On the other hand, in the two-dimensional code 21 printed on the product catalog 20 prepared in the exhibition booth, a character string in which a product code and order conditions are added as parameters to a URL for calling the reception management program 32 (210 shown in FIG. 3) Is coded. The order condition is an order quantity, discount information, and the like.
[0016]
When a negotiation with the visitor is completed, the exhibitor at the booth booth first reads the two-dimensional code 11 printed on the badge of the visitor using a digital camera built in the mobile phone 5 and sends it to the mobile phone 5. Decoding is performed by the built-in two-dimensional code composite function. Then, the decryption result is displayed as a hyperlink on the liquid crystal display (see FIG. 2). When the clerk operates the mobile phone 5 to select this hyperlink, the mobile phone 5 transmits an HTTP request to the link destination, that is, the reception server 30 via the gateway on the mobile phone carrier network 8. The header information of the HTTP request includes the identification information of the source mobile phone 5. As a result, the identification information of the visitor and the identification information of the originating mobile phone 5 are temporarily recorded in the reception server 30 as one set. Receiving server 30 returns the fact that the identification information of the visitor has been temporarily recorded to transmission source mobile phone 5 by a response message.
[0017]
The attendant confirms from the response message that the identification information of the visitor has been temporarily recorded, and then, from the product catalog 20, enters a two-dimensional code representing the corresponding ordering condition of the product that has been negotiated with the visitor. The selected two-dimensional code (21 in FIG. 3) is read by a digital camera built in the mobile phone 5, and decoded by the two-dimensional code composite function built in the mobile phone 5. Then, the decryption result is displayed as a hyperlink on the liquid crystal display (see FIG. 3). When the clerk operates the mobile phone 5 and selects this hyperlink, the mobile phone 5 transmits an HTTP request to the link destination, that is, the reception server 30 via the gateway on the mobile phone carrier network 8. As a result, the receiving server 30 processes the visitor's identification information temporarily recorded earlier, the next received product information and order conditions as one piece of temporary order entry information, and reports that the processing has been normally completed. Return to mobile phone 5. Through the above series of operations of the clerk and the processing on the receiving server 30 side, the clerk can perform the tentative order processing accompanying the negotiation with the simple operation of merely operating the mobile phone 5.
[0018]
Next, the reception management program 32 that operates on the reception server 30 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the reception management program 32. The reception management program 32 is called from the WWW server when the WWW server provided in the server 30 receives a request for requesting the processing result of the management program 32. When called, first, the parameters added to the request are checked, and if the visitor information is included, the process jumps to step S12. If the visitor information is not included, the process jumps to step S20 (S10). ). In step S12, the header information of the request is checked, the identification information of the mobile phone terminal of the transmission source and the reception time information of the request are obtained, and the parameter is added to the request (the visitor information) as one set of data. The data is recorded in a predetermined storage area of the telephone terminal 5 (S12). Then, the reception of the visitor information is completed, and a response message prompting the transmission of the product information / order condition information is sent to the sender (S14).
[0019]
In step 20, it is confirmed that the parameters added to the request include the product number information and the order condition information. If the parameters are included, the process proceeds to step S21. If these are not included, the process jumps to step S30. In step S21, the reception management program 32 searches a predetermined storage area of the mobile phone terminal 5 for a set of data already received and temporarily stored, corresponding to the request currently being processed. This can be done by searching for a mobile phone terminal having the same identification information as the originating mobile phone terminal. If the corresponding data is found, the reception time of the request which is the source of the data is checked, and it is checked whether or not the next request arrives within a predetermined time (S22). If the time from the arrival of the first request to the arrival of the next request exceeds a certain time, the process jumps to step S30. If it is confirmed that the second request has been received within a certain period of time, one database registration data is created by combining the visitor information, the product number, and the order condition information (S24). Then, these are registered in the sales information database 31 as temporary order information (S26). After registration, the temporarily recorded data is deleted. Finally, a response notifying the completion of the reception is returned (S28), and the process returns to the original position. In step S30, an error notification notifying that the request has been discarded because it is an invalid request or a time-out request is returned. If the time-out has occurred, the data temporarily recorded as the time-out is deleted and returned to its original state.
[0020]
The receiving server 30 can be provided with a function of outputting necessary forms in accordance with the provisional order information stored in the sales information database 31 due to negotiations. As forms, forms issued to visitors (forms used as formal order forms), forms created for use by exhibitors themselves (order forms for product suppliers, order forms for production departments) )and so on. This function can be realized as one function of the reception management program 32 so that the temporary order information is output immediately after it is registered in the sales information database 31. Alternatively, the output can be realized in a batch by a program different from the reception management program 32.
[0021]
The accepting server 30 has a function of not only registering the temporary order information accompanying the negotiation contract in the sales information database 31 but also utilizing the information accumulated in the sales information database 31 in various ways by incorporating an application program. It is also possible to provide. For example, for each exhibitor, create an analysis report that summarizes the number of contracts held during the negotiations and spot sales, and the breakdown of the visitor attributes of the contracted customers (visitors). Can be delivered.
[0022]
Next, a system 2 which is a modification of the system 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is an overall configuration diagram of a system 2 which is a modified example of the present invention. The difference from the system 1 is that, in the system 2, the reception center equipment 300 is installed in the venue of the negotiation and spot sale, and the PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) having the WWW browser function is used as an input terminal to the system instead of the mobile phone terminal 5. ) 4 is used. In addition, the network does not use the network 8 and the Internet 9 of the mobile phone carrier. The PDA 4 has a built-in two-dimensional code decoding means for attaching a digital camera to the IO expansion slot, decoding image data of a two-dimensional code including a URL, and displaying a hyperlink to the URL on a screen. The PDA 4 and the server 30 are connected by a wireless LAN.
[0023]
FIG. 6 shows a system 2 in which a two-dimensional code reader 6 and a personal computer 7 are used instead of the PDA 4. The personal computer 7 is provided with a WWW browser and, when receiving text data indicating the URL of the receiving server 30 read by the two-dimensional code reader 6, a program for generating HTML page data in which the URL is displayed as a hyperlink. It is assumed that Even with such a configuration, it is possible to realize a negotiation and spot sale meeting system that provides the same function as when the PDA 4 is used.
[0024]
In the case of the system 2, the configuration of the receiving center 300 such as the receiving server 30 is basically the same as that of the system 1. However, the method by which the acceptance management program 32 performs session management differs between the systems 1 and 2. Since the system 1 uses the mobile phone terminal 5, the session management is performed by the ID of the mobile phone terminal 5 (step S12 in FIG. 4). However, since this method cannot be used in the system 2, the WWW server operating on the server 30 is used. Must return a response to the PDA 4 or the personal computer 7 (step S14 in FIG. 4), set a cookie, and then use the cookie to determine whether the request is from the same terminal.
[0025]
As a modification common to the system 1 and the system 2, a system for manually inputting all or a part of the order condition information is also possible. The visitor information and the product number information are entered in a two-dimensional code, and the acceptance management program 32 that accepts the information displays a form for inputting order conditions on the mobile phone terminal of the caller and prompts the input. It is possible to do.
[0026]
The visitor badge 10 or the product catalog 20 is a two-dimensional code printed matter obtained by encoding a character string to which information or data to be input to a specific URL is added as a parameter of the URL. Such a printed matter reads and decodes a two-dimensional code, and reads the two-dimensional code with an information terminal having a function of transmitting it as an HTTP request, thereby easily inputting data to a server installed in a remote place, and as a result, Is a convenient printed matter.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the business negotiation spot sale system according to the present invention, when a business negotiation is concluded with a visitor, the exhibitor reads necessary information and reads a two-dimensional code, and selects a URL to be displayed. With only extremely simple operations, it is possible to complete the necessary paperwork associated with the business negotiation without the hassle of hand-writing a copy slip and creating a temporary order slip. A remarkable effect of being able to concentrate on dealing with persons can be achieved. In addition, during the negotiations and sales meetings, contract information is immediately collected in the database, so exhibitors can fully understand what kind of customers have been closed and other information so that appropriate responses to prospective customers can be made. It has a remarkable effect that it can be taken.
