Description

  The present invention relates to a method in which a consumer (= mainly an agricultural worker) obtains production materials such as fertilizers from mass retailers, JA, etc., and in particular, orders production materials such as fertilizers without going to mass retailers, JA, etc. Further, the present invention relates to a method for placing an order with a seller and a delivery method for performing regular delivery and billing even when the seller is absent (mainly an agricultural worker).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the following method, which is a generally well-known fact, is employed. First, a consumer (= mainly an agricultural worker) enters the number of production materials such as fertilizer in a reservation order form issued by a mass retailer, JA, etc., and sends or brings the order form. Next, the seller delivers the production material such as fertilizer based on the consumer's reservation order form. If the consumer is absent, he / she re-delivery at a later date, receives the delivery confirmation, and performs the billing process.

As a related technology, a technology for saving labor in the company by sharing data in order creation, purchase order management, expense management and the like has been proposed. In the electronic purchasing method using the Internet, the purchaser connects a personal computer to the Internet and electronically creates a purchase application form having information on the goods or services desired to be purchased, and has the authorization authority. Send via the Internet. An authorized person connects a personal computer to the Internet, approves the purchase application form via the Internet, creates a purchase order electronically based on the information on the approved purchase application form, To the seller of the product or service (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in the related technology described above, a sales transaction is established between a consumer (= mainly an agricultural worker) and a seller (= mass retailer, JA, etc.) using a pre-order, an invoice, and a receipt as confirmation of each other. To do.

  The first problem is that the consumer (= mainly the farmer) needs to issue a pre-order to the seller and send it in some way.

  The second problem is that the seller cannot obtain the delivery confirmation of the ordered item when the consumer (= mainly the farmer) is absent, and it is necessary to obtain the delivery and receipt again. This is because during the busy season, farmers often spend most of their day in the work place = rice field.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. By utilizing RFID tags and Internet technology, it is possible to speed up and save labor in a series of sales contracts up to ordering / delivery / billing. It is an object to provide a reservation purchase delivery system and a reservation purchase delivery method.

The delivery system for reserved purchase according to the present invention is a delivery system for reserved purchase such as online shopping for ordering and selling goods using the Internet.
By having means for the seller to automatically confirm the current location of goods delivered using GPS and RFID technology, it is possible to terminate the sale without the act of confirmation of receipt by the orderer .

In addition, the delivery method of the reserved purchase of the present invention is a delivery method of reserved purchase in online shopping or the like that orders and sells articles using the Internet.
By having means for the seller to automatically confirm the current location of goods delivered using GPS and RFID technology, it is possible to terminate the sale without the act of confirmation of receipt by the orderer .

  According to the present invention, the time lag between the consumer (= mainly agricultural worker) and the seller (= mass retailer, JA, etc.) is minimized by using the Internet and RFID tag location authentication technology. A quick sales contract can be realized.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The reservation purchase delivery method in the reservation purchase delivery system in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is as follows.

  (Step 1) The seller terminal 101 used by the seller registers production material information that can be ordered with respect to an information device of a manager who has assets that can be disclosed on the Internet network 103.

  (Step 2) The consumer terminal 102 used by the consumer searches the registered production material information through the Internet network 103.

  (Step 3) The consumer registers the quantity desired to be purchased as the ordering information with respect to the search information.

  (Step 4) The seller confirms the order information through 103 through the Internet network.

  (Step 5) The seller registers the delivery information to the consumer in the RFID tag 104 based on the order information, and delivers it by attaching it to the delivery item.

  (Step 6) The seller stores the deliverables at the delivery place designated at the time of ordering regardless of the location of the consumer.

  (Step 7) Based on the RFID tag information used by the GPS 105, the seller confirms that the merchandise has been stored at the delivery location designated at the time of ordering, and performs supply accounting processing.

  (Step 8) The merchant makes a charge request at a later date.

  (Step 9) The consumer pays the price according to the contents of the bill.

Hereinafter, the operation of each component will be described in detail.
The first is a method in which the seller registers the production materials that can be provided in the information equipment of the Internet network / management company. Register users (information on prices, ingredients, efficacy, delivery date, etc.) that can be sold by registering users on the information equipment of the Internet network / manager.

  The second method is a method in which the consumer searches for the production material desired to be purchased from the information equipment of the Internet network / management company. Through the Internet network, search for and identify the optimal product from the information equipment of the manager.

  The third is the consumer ordering method. After confirming the price, delivery date, etc. based on the retrieved information, register the required number.

  The fourth is the method of ordering by the seller. The order status is confirmed from the information equipment of the management company through the Internet.

  Fifth is information registration to the RFID tag based on the order information. The seller registers information such as product information, quantity, price, address, delivery date, delivery location, etc. in the RFID tag by the tag writer based on the order information and customer information stored in advance as a DB.

  Sixth is delivery to consumers based on order information. The seller attaches the RFID tag to the product, and stores the product in a place designated by the consumer based on the registration information of the tag.

  The seventh is supply accounting processing based on delivery confirmation. Based on the GPS location information of the GPS, the seller confirms the completion of the product delivery and then performs a formal supply accounting process.

  Eighth is billing for money. At a later date, the merchant notifies the consumer of a charge according to the price based on the conditions at the time of ordering, the due date for payment, etc.

  The ninth is payment. The consumer pays the seller in accordance with the billing notice from the seller.
