As such desired delivery condition information, information that designates a delivery company that provides delivery means, information that designates a delivery service of the delivery company (for example, a frozen flight or a refrigerated flight), and a delivery time by the delivery company are designated. Information etc. are mentioned.

  The floor area information acquisition unit 9 extracts a plurality of purchase target product identification information from the request information received by the request information reception unit 7 and corresponds to the plurality of purchase target products identified by the purchase target product identification information. The volume ratio information for each of the plurality of packing materials is read from the product information storage unit 17.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the data configuration of the product information stored in the product information storage unit 17. As shown in the figure, the product information is stored for each store identified by the store ID, the product ID “M001” for identifying the product, the product group ID “G001” indicating the group of the product, and the product name. Product information “Product A” indicating weight, “10 g” weight information indicating the weight of the product, Delivery condition information 1 “Frozen” and delivery condition information 2 “Distributors A, B, C” which are the delivery conditions of the product "Are stored in association with each other. Furthermore, in this product information, packing IDs “P001”, “P002”, “P003” for specifying a plurality of packing materials to be packed when the product is delivered, and the products are stored in the respective packing materials. The product volume ratios “50%”, “33%”, and “20%” with respect to the volume of the entire packaging material are stored in association with each other.

  Based on the product information as described above, the floor area information acquisition unit 9 includes packing IDs “P001”, “P002”, “P003” corresponding to the purchase target product identification information “M001” included in the desired information, The volume ratio “50%”, “33%”, “20%” corresponding to each packing ID is specified. And the floor area ratio information acquisition part 9 specifies several packing ID and the floor area ratio corresponding to each packing ID regarding all the purchase object goods identification information contained in desired information. In this way, the floor area information acquisition unit 9 is based on the product information set in advance by the store terminal 3 and can be used for packing the product to be purchased at the purchase store and the floor area ratio for the packaging material. Can be requested.

  The packing material determination unit 11 is a plurality of packing materials for packing a plurality of purchase target products based on the volume ratio for each of the plurality of packing materials corresponding to the plurality of purchase target products obtained by the floor ratio information acquisition unit 9. Determine the combination. At this time, the packaging material determination unit 11 determines a combination of a plurality of packaging materials while referring to the product information stored in the product information storage unit 17 and the packaging material information stored in the packaging material information storage unit 19. .

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the data configuration of the packaging material information stored in the packaging material information storage unit 19. As shown in the figure, the packing material information is stored for each store identified by the store ID, and the packing material information storage unit 19 includes a packing ID “P001” for identifying the packing material and the name of the packing material. And packing means information “packing box a” and delivery means information “delivery trader A 60 size”, “delivery trader B 60 size”, “delivery trader A” specifying a plurality of delivery means to deliver using the packaging material. The “60 size frozen stool” and the packaging material size information “Xa × Ya × Za” are stored in association with each other. Here, the “delivery means information” includes information relating to a delivery company that provides a delivery service, classification information classified according to the size and total weight of the packing material, “refrigerated flights / frozen flights”, “express delivery / And delivery condition information indicating the type of delivery service such as “Express Express”.

  Specifically, the packaging material determination unit 11 targets all the purchase target products included in the desired information, and the permutation in which the order of packing the purchase target products is given to all the purchase target products. Is determined by seeking Further, the packing material determination unit 11 determines the packing of the purchase target product in the packing order corresponding to all the permutation patterns. In this case, when a plurality of identical products are included in the purchase target product, each product is separated as a separate product to obtain a permutation. For example, if there are 2 “Products”, 1 “Products”, and 1 “Products” as desired products, the two “Products” are separated and permuted. By asking for 4! = 24 packing orders are determined. Note that it is also possible to determine 24 ÷ 2 = 12 packing orders on the assumption that the permutations in which two “product items” are replaced are the same.

  Then, the packing material determination unit 11 selects purchase target products in the packing order, sequentially selects one packing material from the packing materials associated with the products in the product information, and specifies the packing material by the packing ID. . Thereby, the one packing material which can pack the goods can be selected. In the example of FIG. 2, the packing ID “P001” corresponding to the product information “product a” is specified. Furthermore, the packing material determination unit 11 adds the volume ratio of each purchase target product to the packing ID in the packing order. For example, when the packing order is “product → product” and the volume ratios corresponding to the packing ID “P001” of each product are “50%” and “10%”, those floor ratios Is added to calculate “60%”. The packing material determination unit 11 selects purchase target products in the packing order until the volume ratio for one packing ID reaches “100%”. Then, the packing material determination unit 11 determines a combination of purchase target products selected immediately before the volume ratio exceeds “100%” as a product to be packed in the packing material. At this time, if the purchase target product selected in the order of packing does not correspond to the corresponding packing ID in the product information, that is, if the target product is not registered as the target for packing of the corresponding packing material, it has been processed until just before that. The combination of the purchase target products is determined as a combination of products to be packed in the corresponding packing material.

  If the volume ratio exceeds “100%” in the process of selecting the purchase target products in the packing order, the packing ID of another packing material corresponding to the purchase target product that was the processing target at that time is Read from information. Thereafter, the packing material determination unit 11 selects a purchase target product to be packed in the other packing material by adding the volume ratio for the other packing material to the remaining purchase target products in the order of packing.

  As described above, the packaging material determination unit 11 calculates a combination of all the packaging materials that can store all the purchase target products for one permutation of the purchase target products. This combination of packing materials is derived as a different combination for each delivery means corresponding to each packing ID included in the packing material information. For example, according to the example of FIG. 3, the packing ID “P001” corresponds to the delivery means information “delivery company A 60 size”, “delivery company B 60 size”, and “delivery company A 60 size frozen flight”. Divide things and derive a combination of packaging materials. Similarly, the packaging material determination unit 11 derives all combinations of packaging materials for all permutations of the purchase target product.

  Here, the packaging material determination unit 11 further refers to the delivery means information stored in the delivery company information storage unit 21, and the total weight of the purchase target products incorporated in one packaging material corresponds to the delivery means. If the weight limit specified in accordance with the above is exceeded, those including the packing material are excluded from the calculated packing material combinations. FIG. 4 shows an example of the data configuration of the delivery means information stored in the delivery company information storage unit 21. As shown in the figure, the delivery means information includes delivery trader specifying information “delivery trader A” for identifying a delivery trader, and delivery condition information “room temperature delivery” indicating delivery conditions of delivery flights provided by the delivery trader. , "Delivery time: ...", size category "60" for classifying the size of the packaging material delivered by the delivery flight, delivery fee information indicating the delivery fee corresponding to the delivery flight and the size category, and delivery flight The weight limit “2 kg” corresponding to the size category is stored in association with each other. In the process of calculating a combination of packaging materials, the packaging material determination unit 11 reads the weight limit corresponding to the delivery means information of one packaging material from the delivery company information storage unit 21 and determines the weight of each purchase target product as product information. The total weight is obtained by reading from the storage unit 17 and adding the weights of the purchase target products packed in the corresponding packing material in the order of packing. Further, when the total weight exceeds the weight limit, the packaging material determination unit 11 interrupts the process of calculating the combination of the packaging material including the packaging material and the delivery means, and performs the process of calculating the next combination. Transfer. In detail, the packaging material determination unit 11, when incorporating the purchase target products into the packaging material “packing box a” and the delivery means “delivery company A 60 size”, When the weight exceeds the weight limit “2 kg”, the process proceeds to the addition processing of the volume ratio relating to the next packing material.

  Furthermore, the packaging material determination unit 11 further refers to the delivery means information stored in the delivery company information storage unit 21 and determines the longest length (for example, a diagonal line) of each purchase target product incorporated in one packaging material. ) Exceeds the length of the diagonal line obtained from the size information “Xa × Ya × Za” defined for the relevant delivery method, the packaging material is calculated from the combination of packaging materials to be calculated. Exclude what is included.

  Furthermore, the packaging material determination unit 11 further refers to the bundling impossible information stored in the bundling impossible information storage unit 23, and a plurality of purchase target products incorporated in one packing material includes bundling impossible information. If it falls under what is indicated as being incapable of being bundled, the one containing the packing material is excluded from the calculated packing material combination. FIG. 5 shows an example of the data configuration of the bundling impossible information stored in the bundling impossible information storage unit 23. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), bundling disabling information is stored for each store identified by the store ID, and a merchandise ID “M001” for identifying a merchandise and the bundling of the merchandise is prohibited. A target product ID “M011” for identifying “” and a bundling order “none” indicating whether there is a restriction on the bundling order are stored in association with each other. In this example, it is indicated that a plurality of purchase target products identified by the product IDs “M001” and “M011” cannot be bundled. When the packaging material determination unit 11 detects that the combination of the purchase target products bundled in one packaging material is prohibited by the packaging impossible information in the process of calculating the packaging material combination, the packaging material determination unit 11 performs the packaging. The process of incorporating the purchase target product later incorporated into the material is interrupted, and the process is performed so that the purchase target product is incorporated into another packaging material. For example, the packing material determination unit 11 may pack the products to be purchased “Product A” and “Product W” in the order of “Product A” and “Product W”. If it is set, the process of incorporating these products into the same packaging material “packing box a” is not performed. The material “packing box a” is set.

  Here, when the bundling order “destination” is set in the bundling impossible information, the packing material determination unit 11 confirms that the target merchandise ID is bundled before the merchandise identified by the merchandise ID. Prohibit processing, and if the bundled order “after” is set in the bundling impossible information, the bundling of the target product ID after the product identified by the product ID is prohibited. To process. That is, the packaging material determination unit 11 corresponds to the order in which a plurality of purchase target products incorporated in one packaging material are bundled according to the packaging unusable information. In such a case, those including the packing material are excluded from the calculated packing material combinations. Further, the packaging material determination unit 11 incorporates the purchase target products belonging to the two product groups identified by the group ID into one packaging material by referring to the bundling impossible information as illustrated in FIG. You may process so that it may prohibit. Specifically, the packaging material determination unit 11 assigns the target purchased product “product” belonging to the product group ID “G001” and the target purchased product “product” belonging to the product group ID “G009” to the same packaging material. The combination of packing materials is calculated so as not to be included in the package. The product group may be a product category (genre) in the virtual shopping mall (virtual mall).

  The delivery fee determination unit 13 sets the delivery fee corresponding to the delivery means associated with each packaging material based on the combination of all the packaging materials determined by the packaging material determination unit 11 to the delivery company information storage unit 21. And calculate the total delivery charge for each combination of packaging materials. That is, according to the example of FIG. 4, the delivery fee determining unit 13 sends “1160 yen” for the delivery section “Kanto → Hokkaido” corresponding to the packaging material “packing box a” −delivery means “delivery company A 60 size”. ", And the delivery charges for each packing material-delivery means are totaled. At this time, the delivery fee determining unit 13 reads the fee corresponding to the delivery section information included in the desired information from the delivery fees included in the delivery means information stored in the delivery company information storage unit 21. Then, the delivery fee corresponding to the cheapest combination of packaging materials is determined as the final delivery fee.

  In addition, the delivery fee determination unit 13 may request for a plurality of purchase target products when the desired information received by the request information receiving unit 7 includes desired delivery condition information indicating delivery conditions for the purchase target product. The delivery condition information is specified, and the combination of the packaging materials including the packaging material that does not satisfy the desired delivery condition information is excluded from the selection target of the lowest delivery fee. For example, when the information for limiting the delivery company is included as the desired delivery condition information, the delivery fee determination unit 13 includes a combination including a packaging material other than the delivery company as a delivery means. Excluded from the selection of delivery charges. In addition, when the information for limiting the category “refrigerated / frozen” is included as the desired delivery condition information, the delivery fee determination unit 13 includes the delivery flight in the delivery condition information in the delivery company information storage unit 21. A combination including a packaging material associated with a delivery means for which no category is set is excluded from the delivery charge selection targets. In addition, when the information for limiting the delivery time is included as the desired delivery condition information, the delivery fee determining unit 13 sets information satisfying the delivery time in the delivery condition information in the delivery company information storage unit 21. A combination including a packing material associated with a non-delivery means is excluded from the selection targets of the delivery fee.

  Further, the delivery fee determining unit 13 reads the delivery condition information regarding the purchase target product from the product information storage unit 17, and the purchase target product is incorporated into the packaging material associated with the delivery means that does not satisfy the delivery condition information. If so, the combination of the packing materials including the corresponding packing material is excluded from the selection of the lowest delivery charge. For example, when “freezing” and “delivery traders A, B, and C” are set as the delivery condition information for the purchase target product “product a”, a delivery means that does not satisfy the delivery condition information is selected. When the purchase target product “Product A” is incorporated in the packaging material, the combination including the packaging material is excluded from the selection target of the delivery fee.

  The fee notification unit 15 notifies the user terminal 2 of the delivery fee for delivering a plurality of purchase target products calculated by the delivery fee determination unit 13. That is, the charge notification unit 15 transmits the delivery charge of the combination of the purchase target products together with the product amount for each of the plurality of purchase target products via the communication network NW.

  Hereinafter, the delivery fee calculation operation of the delivery fee calculation system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 13 and the delivery fee calculation method in the delivery fee calculation system 1 will be described in detail. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a delivery charge calculation operation of the delivery charge calculation system 1, FIGS. 7 to 11 are conceptual diagrams for explaining the delivery charge calculation operation of the delivery charge calculation system 1, and FIG. FIGS. 13 and 14 are diagrams showing examples of display screens output to the user terminal 2 when the delivery fee calculation system 1 calculates the delivery fee. FIGS. 13 and 14 show the product information storage unit 17 and the packaging material information storage during the delivery fee calculation in FIGS. It is a figure which shows the data structure of the merchandise information referred from the part 19, and packing material information.

  First, a purchase target product is selected from a plurality of products provided in the virtual shopping mall by the user terminal 2, and accordingly, the desired information is received from the user terminal 2 by the desired information receiving unit 7 (step S101). ). Then, a plurality of purchase target product identification information is extracted from the desired information by the floor ratio information acquisition unit 9, and the floor ratio for each of the plurality of packing materials corresponding to the purchase target product identification information is obtained from the product information storage unit 17. Read (step S102). Next, the packing material determination unit 11 determines one packing order by obtaining one permutation of the plurality of purchase target products (arrangement with the order of the plurality of purchase target products) (step S103). Furthermore, the packaging material determination unit 11 specifies a plurality of delivery means for each packaging material associated with a plurality of purchase target products by referring to the packaging material information stored in the packaging material information storage unit 19.

  In FIG. 7, two packing materials “packing box a” and “packing box b” are associated with the purchase target product “product a” according to the product information in the product information storage unit 17, and the packing material information storage unit 19 According to the packaging material information, the two delivery means “(1) supplier A 60 size” and “(2) supplier B 60 size” for the packaging material “packing box a” This shows a state in which one delivery means “(3) vendor A 120 size” is associated. By referring to these product information and packaging material information, each of the packaging materials corresponding to all purchase target products “Product A”, “Product I”, “Product U” is registered in the packaging material information. All delivery means are identified. In the following, a case will be described as an example where the corresponding relationship shown in the figure is established among the purchase target product, the packing material, and the delivery means.

  Thereafter, the packaging material determining unit 11 incorporates the purchase target products into the packaging material in the order of packaging (step S104). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the permutation of the purchase target product is “product”, “product”, “product”, that is, packing of “product”, “product”, “product”. If they are set in order, first, “product A” is incorporated into “packaging box a”. Then, the volume ratio “100%” of “commodity” with respect to the packing material “packing box a” is added to the packing material “packing box a” (step S105). At this time, the packaging material determination unit 11 determines whether or not the volume ratio of the corresponding packaging material (the packaging material into which the product has been incorporated immediately before) exceeds 100% (step S106). As a result of the determination, if the floor area ratio does not exceed 100% (step S106; NO), it is determined whether or not the remaining purchase target product exists (step S107), and the purchase target product exists. In that case (step S107; NO), the process returns to step S104 so that the purchase target product in the next packing order is incorporated into the corresponding packing material. On the other hand, when the volume ratio exceeds 100% (step S106; YES), the processing is returned to step S104 so that the purchase target product assembling process is performed again in place of another packing material (step S108). In step S107, it is also determined whether or not all the combinations of packing materials that can store all the purchase target products are selected, and the processes in steps S104 to S108 are performed until all the combinations of packing materials are selected. Repeated.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, even when trying to incorporate “product goods” into “packing box a” in which “product goods” are incorporated, the volume ratio has reached 100%, so “product goods” are stored. Another packing material “packing box b” is prepared, and “goods” are incorporated into this packing material. Then, since the volume ratio of the packing material “packing box b” becomes 100%, another packing material “packing box a” for preparing “product box” is prepared, and “product box” is added to this packing material. Be incorporated. As a result, a set of packing materials “packing box a”, “packing box b”, and “packing box a” that incorporates “product”, “product”, and “product” are selected. Since “packaging box b”, which is another type of packaging material, is also registered for “product box” which is the last product in the order, by incorporating “product box” also into “packaging box b” Another set of packing materials “packing box a”, “packing box b”, and “packing box b” is also selected. Furthermore, “product a” which is the first product in the packing order is also incorporated into “packaging box b” which is a different type of packaging material from the already incorporated packaging material. In this way, by selecting all the combinations of the packing materials, as shown in the lower left of FIG. 8, the permutation is “commodity”, “commodity”, “commodity” in all four sets. A combination of packaging materials is selected.

  If the result of determination in step S107 is that there are no remaining purchase target products and all combinations of packaging materials have been selected (step S107; YES), the packaging material determining unit 11 With regard to the packing order of the products to be purchased, the same processing as in steps S104 to S108 is repeated to determine a combination including a plurality of packing materials and a combination of delivery means (step S109). In FIG. 9, when the packing order is “goods”, “goods”, and “goods”, the packing material determination unit 11 performs three sets “a (1)”, Nine combinations including “a (2)” and “b (3)” are derived. “A” and “b” in “a (1)”, “a (2)”, and “b (3)” indicate packing materials, and “(1)”, “(2)”, “ “(3)” indicates delivery means “(1) supplier A 60 size”, “(2) supplier B 60 size”, and “(3) supplier A 120 size”, respectively. As a result, the number of branches increases by the number of delivery means associated with the packaging material (specifically, the packaging material “a” is “a (1)”, “ a) (2) ”), and finally nine combinations of packing materials and delivery means are selected. Furthermore, in FIG. 10, the packing order is“ product ”,“ product ”, and“ product ”. In the case of “Yes”, the packaging material determination unit 11 has derived seven combinations including the packaging material and delivery means combinations “a (1)”, “a (2)”, and “b (3)”. 11 shows the corresponding packaging. The procedure for selecting a combination of materials is shown.

  Thereafter, the delivery fee determining unit 13 calculates a delivery fee for delivering a plurality of purchase target products for each combination of a plurality of packing materials and delivery means derived by the packaging material determining unit 11 (step S110). The lowest price is determined as the final delivery charge from the delivery charges corresponding to these combinations (step S111). Next, the fee notification unit 15 notifies the user terminal 2 of the purchase fee and delivery fee of the purchase target product (step S112).

  In FIG. 12, an example of the display screen output in the user terminal 2 is shown. As shown in FIG. 12A, the purchase target product and its number are received from the user of the user terminal 2 on the screen where each product page is output. As shown in FIG. 12B, the delivery destination of each product is selected from the delivery destination list on the screen where the shopping cart is output, and the user of the user terminal 2 is instructed to calculate the delivery fee by clicking “Next”. Then, the desired information is transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the delivery fee calculation system 1. Thereafter, after the delivery fee is calculated by the delivery fee calculation system 1, the purchase price of the product including the delivery fee for each delivery destination is presented to the user terminal 2 on the output screen shown in FIG.

  Next, a delivery fee calculation program for causing a computer to function as the delivery fee calculation system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The delivery charge calculation program P1 includes a main module P10, an information setting module P15, a desired information reception module P16, a volume ratio information acquisition module P17, a packaging material determination module P18, a delivery charge determination module P19, and a charge notification module P20. .

  The main module P10 is a part that comprehensively controls the delivery charge calculation process. The functions realized by executing the information setting module P15, the desired information receiving module P16, the floor area information acquisition module P17, the packaging material determination module P18, the delivery fee determination module P19, and the fee notification module P20 are respectively delivery fees. The functions of the information setting unit 5, the desired information receiving unit 7, the volume ratio information acquiring unit 9, the packing material determining unit 11, the delivery fee determining unit 13, and the fee notifying unit 15 of the calculation system 1 are the same.

  The delivery fee calculation program P1 is provided by a storage medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD or a ROM, or a semiconductor memory, for example. The delivery charge calculation program P1 may be provided via a network as a computer data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

  According to the delivery charge calculation system 1 described above, the volume ratio for each of a plurality of packing materials of a plurality of purchase target products selected by the user terminal 2 is specified, and two or more purchase target products based on the floor ratio. The combination of packaging materials to be packed is determined, the delivery means corresponding to the packaging material included in the packaging material combination, and the charges corresponding to the delivery means are read, and then the charges are totaled. As a result, delivery charges for a plurality of purchase target products are determined. Thereby, the delivery charge which considered the magnitude | size of the purchase target product selected by the user and the combination of the purchase target product packed in a packing material can be calculated. As a result, it is possible to reduce the difference between the cost required for actual delivery after packing and the calculated delivery fee.

  In addition, by finding the combination of packaging materials for each permutation of the purchase target product, it is possible to calculate the delivery charge for multiple packing states of the purchase target product with less leakage, and from among those delivery charges The optimal charge for delivery can be determined.

  In addition, when there is a weight limit in the delivery means, the combination of packing materials that will be in a packing state exceeding the weight limit can be excluded from the calculation target of the shipping charge, It is possible to calculate a delivery fee considering the weight corresponding to the packing state.

  In addition, it is possible to exclude the packaging status that includes a combination of items that cannot be bundled with the purchase target products from the calculation target of the delivery fee, and calculate the delivery fee considering the packing status of multiple purchase target products be able to. In addition, it is possible to exclude from the calculation of the delivery fee the packaging status in which combinations of items that cannot be bundled in a specific order among the items to be purchased are bundled in that order. Can be calculated.

  In addition, it is possible to calculate the delivery fee corresponding to the delivery means that matches the delivery condition of the purchase target product specified by the user, and to calculate the delivery fee considering the delivery means that matches the delivery condition desired by the user Can do.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. For example, the packaging material determination unit 11 according to the above embodiment excludes the packaging material from the combination of the packaging materials to be selected when the total weight of the purchase target products incorporated in the specific packaging material exceeds the weight limit. However, when the delivery fee determining unit 13 calculates the total weight of the product for each packaging material when calculating the delivery fee from the combination of the packaging materials, and the total weight exceeds the weight limit, You may exclude the combination containing the packing material from the calculation object of a delivery charge. Similarly, when excluding packaging materials in which products that cannot be included are included due to the incapable packaging information, the delivery fee determination unit 13 excludes combinations including the packaging materials from the calculation target of the delivery fees. May be.

  In addition, the packing material determination unit 11 selects a combination of packing materials for each packing order corresponding to all permutations of the purchase target products. However, the packing target products are grouped into the permutations of the products included in each group. A combination of packing materials may be selected. For example, the packaging material determination unit 11 identifies the packaging material associated with all the purchase target products based on the product information stored in the product information storage unit 17. For example, as shown in FIG. 16 (a), with respect to the purchase target product “product a”, “box a” and “box b” are specified as packing materials capable of storing the product. And as shown in FIG.16 (b), the packaging material determination part 11 judges whether it is related with the mutually same packaging material via the packaging material matched with each goods. As a result, a plurality of products associated with each other starting from one product are set as the same product group. For example, “Box a” corresponding to “Product A” is also associated with “Product A”, and “Box b” corresponding to “Product A” is also associated with “Product A”. “Product”, “Product” and “Product” are determined to be the same group. In this way, multiple products that may be bundled in the same packaging material can be grouped together and the combination of packaging materials can be calculated for those groups. The number of combinations is reduced as compared with the case where the calculation is performed on the permutation of the above, the processing load is reduced, and the calculation time is shortened.

  In addition, when the packaging material determination unit 11 excludes a packaging material combination including a packaging material in which a product that cannot be bundled according to the bundling impossible information is included, the number of each product or a specific type of packaging is included. You may process so that bundling is impossible regarding a material. For example, “Package box a” cannot be packaged in such a way that “Package a” has 3 points, “Products” has 2 points, and “Products” has 1 point. When the information is set, the packaging material determination unit 11 excludes the packaging material combination including the packaging material “packing box a” in which the combination of products as described above is incorporated. Such bundling impossible information may be input to the bundling impossible information storage unit 23 based on the result of the store actually packing the product. If it does in this way, the delivery charge corresponding to the actual packing performance in the store can be calculated by setting the unpackable information from the store terminal 3 based on the result of actually packing the product in the packing material. .

  Further, in the delivery fee calculation system 1, the delivery fee of the purchase target product is calculated for each store identified by the store ID, but the packing for packing the purchase target products to be purchased at a plurality of stores together. After obtaining the combination of materials, the delivery fee for those purchase target products may be calculated.

  Further, the volume ratio information indicating the volume ratio for a plurality of packing materials for each of a plurality of products may be, for example, the volume ratio of a product packed in a rectangular parallelepiped inner packing material. The inner packing material in this case is a predetermined one, and it is assumed that the volume ratio for each packing material is known. As a result, it is possible to accurately calculate in what combination and how much each inner packing material is accommodated in each packing material before packing. Furthermore, by associating each product with an appropriate inner packaging material in advance, when multiple products are purchased, the appropriate combination of packaging materials can be determined from the volume ratio of the inner packaging material associated with each purchased product. This makes it possible to select a more accurate delivery fee.
