  As a premise, when the customer accesses the URL of the Web site of the server by the portable terminal 1 and clicks the login button, the login screen data is transmitted to the portable terminal 1 and the login screen is displayed on the portable terminal 1. A display example of this login screen is as shown in FIG. 9, and an ID and a password can be input. When the customer inputs the ID and password on the login screen 100 displayed on the portable terminal 1 and clicks the “login” button, the ID and password are transmitted to the server 2 (S1).

  When the server 2 receives the ID and password (S2), the authentication unit 22b performs predetermined authentication with reference to the customer DB 25a (S3). When the authentication is established, the list type selection screen data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (S4). If authentication is not established, screen data indicating that fact may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 1.

When receiving the list type selection screen data, the portable terminal 1 displays the list type selection screen on the display unit 14 (S5). A display example of this list type selection screen is as shown in FIG. In the list type selection screen 101, a desired selection type can be selected from at least the following items.
・ Search around with registered address ・ Search around with new address ・ Search around with hospital address ・ Search around with GPS location information ・ Search with past transaction information

  When the customer operates the operation input unit 17 to select a desired search type from the list type selection screen 101 displayed on the display unit 14 of the portable terminal 1 and presses the “Send” button, the type is selected. Information is transmitted to the server 2 via the communication control unit 15 (S6).

  When the server 2 receives this type selection information via the communication control unit 21 (S7), the main control unit 22a transmits confirmation screen data corresponding to the type to the portable terminal 1 via the communication control unit 21. (S8).

  When the portable terminal 1 receives the confirmation screen data via the communication control unit 15, the control unit 11 displays a confirmation screen on the display unit 14 (S9). For example, when it is selected to search around the registered address, a confirmation screen 102 as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 14 and the registered address is presented for confirmation. When it is selected to search around with a new address, a confirmation screen 103 as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the display unit 14 to prompt the user to input a new address to be searched around.

When it is selected to search around the hospital address, a confirmation screen 104 as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 14 to prompt the user to enter a hospital name to be searched around. When it is selected to search the vicinity using the GPS position information, a confirmation screen 105 as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display unit 14 and the GPS position information (address) is displayed for confirmation. When it is selected to search with past transaction information, a confirmation screen 106 as shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the display unit 14 to prompt confirmation of whether or not to search with past transaction information. Will be.

  When confirmation (including input) is performed on the confirmation screens 102 to 106, the control unit 11 transmits confirmation information to the server 2 via the communication control unit 15 (S10). For example, when a new address (or zip code) is input on the confirmation screen 103 or when a hospital name is input on the confirmation screen 104, such information is also confirmed as confirmation information via the communication control unit 15. It is transmitted to the server 2.

  When the server 2 receives the confirmation information via the communication control unit 21 via the communication control unit 21 (S11), the list creation unit 22c creates a pharmacy selection list (S12). Specifically, the list creation unit 22c can select from the type selection information around the registered address, around the new address, around the hospital address, around the GPS location information, and past transaction information. A list that meets the conditions is created by referring to at least one of the customer DB 25a, the pharmacy DB 25b, and the hospital DB 25c based on the confirmation information that is sent.

  More specifically, when the peripheral search is selected with the registered address and it is detected that the confirmation by the customer is made based on the confirmation information, the list creating unit 22c refers to the pharmacy DB 25b and approaches the registered address. Extract pharmacies by address or zip code and create a list. That is, for example, the list creation unit 22c may extract the pharmacies located in the municipality of the registered address and the neighboring municipalities as selection candidates and create the list.

  When peripheral search is selected with a new address, and the new address is transmitted as confirmation information, the list creation unit 22c refers to the pharmacy DB 25b and extracts a pharmacy close to the new address by address or postal code. And create a list. For example, the list creation unit 22c may extract a pharmacy located in a municipality of a new address and an adjacent municipality as a selection candidate and create a list. This new address is an address input for search, and is not limited to the customer's home location.

  When the neighborhood search is selected by the hospital address and the hospital name is transmitted as the confirmation information, the list creation unit 22c first refers to the hospital DB 25c and extracts the hospital address or zip code of the hospital name. Subsequently, referring to the pharmacy DB 25b, based on the address or postal code of the hospital, pharmacies close to the hospital are extracted and a list is created. At this time, for example, the list creation unit 22c may extract the pharmacies located in the municipality of the hospital address and the neighboring municipalities as selection candidates and create the list.

  When the peripheral search is selected in the GPS position information and it is detected by the confirmation information that the customer has confirmed, the list creation unit 22c refers to the pharmacy DB 25b and approaches the address indicated by the GPS position information. Extract pharmacies by address and create a list. For example, the list creation unit 22c may extract the pharmacies located in the municipality of the address indicated by the GPS position information and the neighboring municipalities as selection candidates and create the list.

  When the search is selected in the past transaction information and it is detected that the confirmation is made by the customer based on the confirmation information, the list creation unit 22c refers to the customer DB 25a, and based on the transaction history information of the customer, the past The pharmacies that have made transactions are identified by pharmacy ID, sorted based on the number of transactions, and a list is created.

  Thus, when the server 2 creates a list by the list creation unit 22c, the main control unit 22a generates list screen data and transmits the list screen data to the mobile terminal 1 via the communication control unit 21 (S13).

  When the portable terminal 1 receives the list screen data, the portable terminal 1 displays the list screen on the display unit 14 (S14). In step S6, when the peripheral search with the registered address, the peripheral search with the new address, the peripheral search with the hospital address, and the peripheral search with the GPS position information are selected, the form list screen 107 as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed. When a search is selected in the past transaction information, a form list screen 108 as shown in FIG. 17 is displayed.

  That is, in the list screen 107 of FIG. 16, as a result of the peripheral search based on any of the registered address, new address, hospital address, or GPS location information, pharmacies close to these addresses are listed and can be selected freely. Is displayed. In the list screen 108 of FIG. 17, as a result of searching based on past transaction information, pharmacies that have made transactions are listed in order of the number of transactions and displayed in a freely selectable manner.

  In the portable terminal 1, the operation input unit 17 is operated, and a pharmacy desired to be traded is selected on these list screens. If necessary, a comment (for example, a medical condition to be transmitted to the pharmacy) is input (S15). When the “Shoot” button on the list screen is selected, the camera operation is switched, and the entire prescription or a two-dimensional barcode image attached to the prescription can be captured by the imaging unit 12. When the entire prescription or two-dimensional barcode is imaged by the imaging unit 12 in this way, the image processing unit 13 performs predetermined image processing, and image data related to the prescription is generated. Then, the file name of the image data is displayed under the “shoot” button (S16). When the “Send” button is selected, the image data related to the prescription is sent to the server 2 together with the selection information indicating which pharmacy is selected and the comment information via the communication control unit 15 (S17). . When the “return” button is selected, the list type selection screen 101 may be returned.

  When the server 2 receives the selection information, the image data related to the prescription, and the comment information when a comment is input via the communication control unit 21 (S18), the server 2 recognizes the image data related to the prescription and performs image recognition. Prescription information relating to the content is obtained (S19). For example, when image data of the entire prescription is transmitted, character recognition is performed on the image data of the entire prescription to obtain prescription information related to the contents of the prescription. When image data of a two-dimensional barcode attached to a prescription is transmitted, the two-dimensional barcode is decoded to obtain prescription information.

  Subsequently, the main control unit 22a updates the customer DB 25a (S20). More specifically, the prescription information acquired in S19 is newly written, and the transaction history information is updated based on the transmitted selection information. That is, since the selected pharmacy name is included in the selection information, the pharmacy DB 25b is referred to, the ID of the selected pharmacy is confirmed, the number of transactions with the pharmacy ID is calculated, and the transaction history information Update.

  Subsequently, in the server 2, the mail transmission / reception unit 22 d and the FAX transmission unit 22 e refer to the pharmacy DB 25 b, confirm the mail address or FAX number of the pharmacy designated by the selection information, and are transmitted from the portable terminal 1. The image data related to the prescription is transferred to the e-mail address or FAX number by e-mail or FAX (S21). At this time, when comment information is obtained, the comment information is also transmitted. In this embodiment, the FAX transmission unit 22e realizes an Internet facsimile function via the Internet (IP network) in addition to so-called G3 method facsimile transmission. The FAX transmission unit 22e performs facsimile transmission via the facsimile apparatus 6 when performing facsimile transmission by the G3 method. On the other hand, when transmitting by the Internet facsimile function, the FAX transmission unit 22 e performs facsimile transmission via the network 5.

  In addition, when the image data of the entire prescription is recognized in S19, or the two-dimensional barcode attached to the prescription is decoded and prescription information is obtained, instead of transmitting the image data related to the prescription. Of course, the prescription information may be described in the body of the e-mail, or the prescription information may be included in the facsimile document for transmission.

  The pharmacy terminal 3 receives the e-mail or facsimile document transmitted from the server 2 via the communication control unit 31 (S22). When a facsimile document is transmitted from the facsimile apparatus 6 by the G3 method, the facsimile apparatus 4 receives the facsimile document. When transmitted by the Internet facsimile function, the pharmacy terminal 3 receives an e-mail in which image data related to the prescription is attached as an attached file. Thereby, the pharmacy accepts based on the image data related to the prescription attached to the e-mail or based on the facsimile document showing the image related to the prescription received by the facsimile apparatus 4.
