Description

  The present invention relates to a cooperative purchase support system, a cooperative purchase support method, and a computer program therefor, led by a purchaser of a product.

  By purchasing a plurality of products at once, the unit price of each product is often cheaper than when purchasing them individually. Therefore, if goods purchase applicants jointly make a collective purchase and distribute the goods to each person, it is economically advantageous for a purchaser who does not need to make a collective purchase alone. Also, depending on the nature of the product, once it is used like a recorded DVD or CD, it becomes unnecessary for the time being, so it is only necessary to purchase one product jointly and use it in order. There are also things.

  Therefore, it is desired to realize a system that makes it easy for a person who wants to purchase a product to recruit other buyers and purchase them together. Therefore, for example, a system has been proposed in which the name of the product that the buyer wishes to purchase and the desired purchase price are registered in a database file, which is disclosed to the seller along with the number of buyers, and the seller's information that matches the conditions is notified to the buyer. (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, a system has been proposed in which an SNS (social network service) aggregates purchase applicants for a product and purchases the product in a lump from a store affiliated with the SNS (Patent Document 3).

JP 2001-325500 A JP2002-7758 JP 2010-244222

However, in the systems described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, both products must be registered on the system so that the seller can accept bulk purchases through the system. Limited. In addition, in the system described in Patent Document 1, a seller individually sends a product to each purchaser and makes a settlement by price exchange or the like. Moreover, the system described in Patent Document 2 is merely merely functioning as a wholesale by the system operator. Therefore, none of them is very beneficial for the seller, many sellers are not expected to enter, and the scope of the target products is increasingly limited. The system described in Patent Document 3 is not limited to SNS members, and cannot be purchased from stores that are not affiliated with SNS.
Furthermore, none of the conventional technologies meet the demand for reselling one product after use.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cooperative purchase system that brings a great merit to the purchaser without limiting the scope of the target product and the purchase form.

In order to solve the problem, the cooperative purchase support system of the present invention is
The terminal of the user who plans the cooperative purchase of one or more products, the terminal of the user who expresses participation in the cooperative purchase, and the operator's computer are connected via the communication network and are given to the user by the operator. A system for supporting a user using points, wherein the computer is a user information storage means, a freezing point information storage means, a case information storage means, a case registration means, a point information determination means, a point freezing means, a participant registration A means for determining the number of participants, a means for collecting points, and a means for transferring points.

The user information storage means stores the stored point information and user authentication information held by the user in association with the user identification information.
The frozen point information storage means stores the frozen point information among the stored point information in association with the point holding user identification information, the point transfer destination user or operator identification information, and the cooperative purchase item identification information.
The case information storage means stores the case information including the identification information of the user who became the planner, the recruitment number, the point information for the reserved money of the user who becomes the participant, and the number of participants in association with the cooperative purchase case identification information. To do.

The case registration means displays on the user terminal a screen for inputting conditions for new cooperative purchase including the number of recruited persons and point information for the user's reservation money, and registers the input conditions as case information.
The point information determination means is whether or not the case planner's possession point information is equal to or higher than the usage fee information indicating the preset system usage fee, and the participant's possession point information is equal to or more than the point information for the reserved money Each of them is determined.
The point freezing means freezes the system usage fee portion or the reserved money portion of the retained point information when it is determined that the retained point information of the project planner or the participant is greater than or equal to the predetermined value.
The recruiting means recruits participants by displaying the registered project information on other user terminals when the possession point information for the system usage fee is frozen.

Participant registration means adds 1 to the number of participants in the case information every time the reserved point information for the reserved money is frozen.
The number-of-participants determination means determines whether or not the number of participants has reached the number of participants, and instructs the suspension of recruitment of the participants when the number of participants reaches the number of participants.
The point collection means deletes the frozen point information corresponding to the system usage fee when an instruction to stop the recruitment of the participant is issued.
The point transfer means transfers the frozen point information corresponding to the reserved money to the planner's possessed point information when receiving report information indicating that the purchased product has been received from the user terminal of the participant.

  When using the system of the present invention, the user usually obtains an appropriate amount of points from the operator in advance, usually for a fee. Retained points can be returned to the operator at any time after user authentication, except for frozen points. The planner who is also one of the users can freely set the product to be purchased, the number of participants in the cooperative purchase, and the reservation fee of each participant. When the new project information is registered, the system information fee is frozen out of the planner's possession points and then the project information is released, so the malicious planner will not suffer any disadvantage.

  In addition, since the points for the participant's reserved money are frozen until the participant receives the product from the planner, there is no risk that the planner will not pay the price, while for the participant after the payment There is no risk of taking away by the planner. Therefore, it is possible to plan cooperative participation and express participation in peace. When the number of participants reaches the number of applicants and the project is completed, the planner usually purchases a product by changing the share of the participant, and ships to the participant at the responsibility of the planner. Therefore, the seller only has to deal with the planner, and the work burden is not increased. Participant's share of the purchase amount will be transferred to the planner by the point transfer means receiving the receipt declaration from the participant and transferring the frozen point information of the participant's reservation money to the planner's possessed point information. To be recovered.

  The type of cooperative purchase is a distribution type in which two or more products are purchased in bulk and distributed among users, and after one purchased product is resold in a chain between users, one user becomes the final owner of the product. There is a chain type. Therefore, it is preferable that the computer further includes purchase type determination means for determining whether the purchase type included in the registered item information is a distribution type or a chain type.

  When a product is purchased in a chain with multiple users, the planner typically has to reserve each participant's deposit, the contribution to be paid by each participant, the contribution to be paid by subsequent participants, and the final ownership. Set to the total amount of the person's contribution. Therefore, in a system provided with purchase type determination means, when it is determined that the purchase type is a chain type, the point transfer means displays report information indicating that the purchased product has been received from the user terminal of the participant. When received, the freezing point information corresponding to the reserved money may be transferred to the holding point information of the planner or the participant who previously received the purchased product.

  By doing so, the participant who is not the final owner maintains the freezing of the reservation money as long as the product after purchase is not delivered to the subsequent participant, so that the illegal acquisition of the product by the participant is prevented.

  Further, the participation number determination means instructs the suspension of recruitment of participants when the number of participants does not reach the recruitment number within a certain period, and the point transfer means participates without the number of participants reaching the recruitment number. The planner and participants have point information that is obtained by subtracting the point information for the cancellation fee from the point information for the system usage fee and the freezing point information for the reserved money It is good to be comprised so that each may be transferred to point information.

  As a result, it is possible to minimize the burden on the planner when the project is not completed, while preventing the loss of the operator. In addition, the risk of participants can be made almost zero.

  As described above, according to the cooperative purchase system of the present invention, the planner who is one of the users can freely set the range and purchase form of the target product, and the risk of the planner and participants is small. While bringing great benefits, the seller's burden is no different from buying alone. Therefore, it can be applied to products in all fields, leading to an increase in demand.

It is a figure which shows the flow of the latter half of the process in the computer used for the cooperative purchase assistance system of embodiment.

A cooperative purchase support system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system 1 includes a user terminal 2 that plans cooperative purchase of one or more products, a user terminal 3 (3b, 3c, 3d) that expresses participation in the cooperative purchase, and an operator computer. 4. The terminals 2 and 3 and the computer 4 are configured to be connectable via a communication network such as the Internet. System 1 is a distribution type in which two or more products are purchased in bulk and distributed among users, and a chained type in which one user is the final owner of a product after one purchase product is resold in a chain between users It corresponds to any type. In the following, when referring to the terminals of users who are participants as a whole, and when they are described in common with those terminals, they are referred to as terminals 3, and when referring to individual terminals, they are referred to as terminals 3b, 3c, or 3d. .

  When using the system 1, planners and participants first submit their addresses, names, telephone numbers, etc. to the operator, register as a user, and have the administrator assign a user ID and password. In addition, by paying an appropriate amount of money to the operator as necessary, points are obtained prior to planning and expression of participation. In the following usage example, 1 point is 1 yen.

  For example, in order to purchase a product of 20,000 yen and distribute four people as a participant's contribution of 5,000 yen / person, the flow of a transaction when user A becomes a planner and uses the system 1 will be described. . In the case of such a distribution type, as shown in FIG. 2, when user A makes a new purchase condition, the system 1 freezes the points for the system usage fee and notifies other users of the purchase item by e-mail or the like. And publicly on the Internet. When users B, C, and D who want to purchase goods knowing the existence of a purchase item express their participation in the system 1, and the number of applicants who have reached the number of planners recruited, the system 1 will share the contribution of each participant. The points will be frozen as reservation money, and the points that have been frozen will be collected.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the system 1 notifies the planner A and the participants B, C, and D that the contract has been established, and also informs the planner A of the addresses, names, etc. of the participants B, C, and D. Provide information. The planner A purchases a plurality of products including purchases of the participants B, C, and D, ships the products individually to each participant, and makes a shipping declaration to the system 1. Participant B receives the shipping notification from system 1 and, when receiving the product while waiting for the arrival of the product, makes a receipt declaration to system 1. After receiving the receipt report, the system 1 transfers the freezing point of the participant B to the planner. As a result, the planner can collect the expenses reimbursed for the participant B. The same applies to the remaining participants C and D.

  Next, user A plans to purchase a product of 20,000 yen and resell it in a chain of four with a contribution of 4,000 yen / person for the participant and an additional contribution of 4,000 yen for the final owner. A flow of a transaction when using the system 1 as a final owner as well as a final owner will be described. Also in the case of such a chain type, as shown in FIG. 4, the flow from the planning to the collection of points for the system usage fee by the system 1 is the same as that of the distribution type. However, the point frozen as the reservation money of each participant is the total amount of the contribution of the mth participant and the contribution of the (m + 1) th and subsequent participants. And the point frozen as the last participant's reservation money is the total amount of the contribution of the self and the additional contribution of the final owner.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the system 1 notifies the planner A and the participants B, C, and D that the contract has been established, and also informs the planner A of the addresses, names, etc. of the first participants B, C, and D. Providing information. The planner A purchases the product, ships the product to the participant B, and makes a shipping declaration to the system 1. Participant B receives the shipping notification from system 1 and, when receiving the product while waiting for the arrival of the product, makes a receipt declaration to system 1. After receiving the receipt report, the system 1 transfers the freezing point of the participant B to the planner. This allows the planner to recover the reimbursed expenses for all participants.

  The system 1 provides the participant B with information such as the address and name of the next participant C. Participant B, after using the product, sends the product to participant C and makes a shipping declaration to system 1. Participant C does the same as participant B, and last participant D sends the product after use back to planner A. After receiving the receipt report from the planner A, the system 1 transfers the freezing points for the additional burden of the planner A to the participant D.

  In order to realize the above transaction, the computer 4 has at least a central processing unit, a communication path control device, and a storage device in terms of hardware, and a user information file 5, a freezing point information file 6, and a project in terms of software. Various database files such as information file 7 and case detailed information file 8, case registration unit 11, point information determination unit 12, point freezing unit 13, recruitment unit 14, participant registration unit 15, participant number determination unit 16, point collection unit 17, various program files such as a point transfer unit 18, a purchase type determination unit 19, and a performance status monitoring unit 20 are stored in the storage device.

  In the user information file 5, as shown in FIG. 6, in addition to possession point information possessed by the user and user authentication information such as a password, identification of the user such as the user's address, name, and telephone number, Items necessary for communication are recorded in association with the user ID.

  In the freezing point information file 6, as shown in FIG. 7, the frozen point information among the holding point information includes the point holding user ID, the point transfer destination user (or operator) ID, the point freezing date, and cooperation. Recorded in association with the purchase case number. The user's possession points can be exchanged at any time according to the user's request, except for the amount recorded in the freezing point information file 6. Therefore, the value of the possessed point information field in the user information file 5 is updated according to the point acquisition or freezing by the user.

  In the case information file 7, as shown in FIG. 8, in association with the cooperative purchase case number, the ID of the user who became the planner, the number of people recruited, the point information for the user's reservation money as the participant, the name of the case, Project information including the number of participants is recorded. Each field of the case information file 7 is set to be non-updatable except for the number of participants, and the file is updated by adding / deleting records.

  In the case detailed information file 8, as shown in FIG. 9, in association with the case detailed information ID, the cooperative purchase case number, the planner ID, the participant ID, the point information for the user's reservation money as the participant, the product The item detail information including the sending status, the receiving status of the product, and the purchase order of the product is recorded. Each field of the case detailed information file 8 is set to be non-updatable except for the sending status and receiving status of the product, and the file is updated by adding / deleting records. The purchase order is automatically set to 1 at the same time as the purchase type is specified when the purchase type is a distribution type, and in the case of a chain type, the order of participation is expressed. Assigned. In the case of the chain type, the reservation amount is associated with the total amount in the case information file and the final owner burden amount or the participant burden amount, and the reservation amount of the participant whose purchase order is the first is “total amount − “Final owner-paid amount”, and thereafter, the amount obtained by subtracting the participant-paid amount in order from the second purchaser.

  The case registration unit 11 causes the user terminal 2 to display a screen for inputting a condition for new cooperative purchase including the case name, purchase type, the number of recruited persons, and point information for the user's reservation money as a participant, and the user ID and password The condition input from the terminal 2 of the user who has been authenticated is registered in the case information file 7 as case information.

  In the point information determination unit 12, usage fee information representing a system usage fee is set in advance by the operator. Then, the determination unit 12 refers to the user information file 5 and determines whether the value of the possession point information of the project planner is equal to or greater than the value of the usage fee information. Further, the user information file 5 and the case information file 7 are referred to, and it is determined whether or not the value of the participant's retained point information is equal to or greater than the value of the point information for the reserved money.

  The point freezing unit 13 subtracts the system usage fee from the user information file 5 in the stored point information when it is determined that the possession point information of the project planner is greater than or equal to the usage fee information. At the same time, a new record is added to the freezing point information file 6 and the reduced point information is recorded together with the ID of the point holding user, the ID of the point transfer destination, the case number, etc., thereby freezing. Also, when it is determined that the participant's possessed point information is equal to or more than the reserved deposit point information, the reserved deposit portion of the retained point information is similarly frozen. Subtract from user information file 5.

  The recruiting unit 14 refers to the frozen point information file 6 when the retained point information for the system usage fee is frozen, identifies the case number whose transfer destination ID is the operator ID, and matches the case number Item information is extracted from the item information file 7 and displayed on the other user terminals 3 to recruit participants for this purchase item.

  The participant registration unit 15 refers to the freezing point information file 6 and extracts the case number from the added record each time the reserved point information for the reserved money is frozen and the record is added. Based on this, the case information in the case information file 7 is specified, and 1 is added to the number of participants in the case information. Similarly, a new record is added to the case detail information file 8 and the case number is recorded. When the purchase type is a chain type, the purchase order value is recorded for one case number in the order in which the records are added. In the case of the distributed type, 1 is recorded as the order value.

  The number-of-participants determination unit 16 constantly monitors the case information file 7 to determine whether the number of participants has reached the number of participants, and instructs the suspension of recruitment of participants when the number of participants has reached the number of applicants. .

  The point collection unit 17 refers to the case information file 7 when an instruction to stop the recruitment of the participant is issued, extracts the case number and the planner ID for which the instruction has been issued, and uses the system usage fee in the freezing point information file 6 Delete the frozen point information for each record. As a result, the planner can no longer redeem the points for the system usage fee, and the operator can account for the amount of the system usage fee that was recorded as a deposit.

  The point transfer unit 18 refers to the freezing point information file 6 when receiving the declaration information indicating that the purchased product has been received from the user terminal 3 of the participant, and sets the participant ID and the project number included in the declaration information. Based on this, after extracting the planner's ID and reservation freezing point information corresponding to the transfer destination, this record is deleted and the freezing point information is transferred to the planner's possession point information in the user information file 5.

  The purchase type determination unit 19 refers to the case information file 7 and determines whether the purchase type is a distribution type or a chain type.

  When it is determined that the purchase type is the chain type, the point transfer unit 18 receives the frozen point information for the reserved money when receiving the declaration information indicating that the purchased product has been received from the user terminal of the participant. Transfer to the point information of the planner or the participant who received the purchased product first.

  The implementation status monitoring unit 20 refers to the case information file 7 and the case detailed information file 8 when an instruction to stop recruitment of participants is issued, and extracts the case number, the planner ID, and the participant ID that are instructed. The participant information such as the address and name of the participant is transmitted to the terminal 2. In addition, information such as a shipping report or a receipt report is received from the terminals 2 and 3, and the received information is transmitted to other terminals. When necessary information has not been received even after a certain period of time, a reminder is sent to the corresponding terminal.

Next, the operation of the system 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
First, the user who becomes the planner accesses the computer 4 from the terminal 2, and on the screen displayed on the terminal 2, the conditions for the new cooperative purchase including the recruitment number and point information for the user's reserved money as the participant are set. Input with user ID and password and send. When the computer 4 receives a new case, the case registration unit 11 registers the input conditions as case information in the case information file 5 (S1).

  The point information determination unit 12 refers to the case information file 7, identifies the newly added record, extracts the user ID, and based on that, the value of the point information held by the case planner in the user information file 5 Is greater than or equal to the value of the usage fee information (S2). When the possession point is less than the usage fee, the terminal 2 is notified of this. Specifically, the message “Insufficient points” is displayed on the screen of the terminal 2.

  The point freezing unit 13 freezes the system usage fee portion of the retained point information when it is determined that the possession point information of the project planner is greater than or equal to the usage fee information (S3). At this time, in the record newly added to the frozen point information file 6, the ID of the planner is recorded as the ID of the point holding user, and the ID of the operator is recorded as the transfer destination ID.

  When the possession point information for the system usage fee is frozen, the recruiting unit 14 notifies the purchased case information to other user terminals 3 by e-mail or the like and publishes it on the Internet (S4). . Another user who knows the existence of a publicly-purchased purchase item by receiving an e-mail or searching on the browser inputs an intention to express participation from the terminal 3 together with the user ID and password, and transmits it to the computer 4. .

  When the computer 4 receives the participation statement from the terminal 3 (S5), the point information determination unit 12 refers to the user information file 5 and the case information file 7, and the value of the participant's possessed point information is the point information for the reserved money. It is determined whether or not the value is greater than or equal to (S6). When the possessed points are less than the reserved amount, the terminal 3 is notified of that. Specifically, the message “Insufficient points” is displayed on the screen of the terminal 2.

  When it is determined that the retained point information of the participant is equal to or more than the point information for the reserved money, the point freezing unit 13 freezes the reserved money for the retained point information (S7). At this time, in the record newly added to the freezing point information file 6, when the purchase type is the distribution type, the participant ID is recorded as the point holding user ID, and the planner ID is recorded as the transfer destination ID. . When the purchase type is a chain type, the ID of the participant or the final owner is recorded as the point holding user ID, and the ID of the participant who receives the product immediately before the participant or the final owner is recorded as the transfer destination ID.

  The participant registration unit 15 updates the matter information file 7 by adding 1 to the number of participants in the matter information file 7 every time the reserved point information for the reserved money is frozen (S8).

  The number-of-participants determination unit 16 determines whether the number of participants has reached the number of applicants (S9). If not reached, the processing from step S5 is repeated. Then, when the number of participants reaches the number of participants, the stop of recruitment of the participants is instructed (S10). At the same time, the user terminal 3 is notified by e-mail or the like that the recruitment of the purchase item has been stopped, and the fact is also disclosed on the Internet (S4).

  The point collection unit 17 deletes the freezing point information for the system usage fee when an instruction to stop the recruitment of the participant is issued (S11).

  Thereafter, the purchase type determination unit 19 refers to the case information file 7 to determine whether the purchase type is a distribution type or a chain type (S12).

  When it is determined that the distribution type is used, the fulfillment status monitoring unit 20 notifies the planner's terminal 2 of an e-mail including information such as addresses and names of all participants along with a notification that the contract with the participant has been established. Transmit (S13). When receiving a notification that the purchase of the product and the shipment to each participant has been completed from the terminal 2 (S14), an email including a notification that the product has been shipped is transmitted to the terminal 3 of each participant (S15). ). Upon receiving a report that the product has been received from the terminal 3 (S16), the point transfer unit 18 transfers the frozen point information of the participant to the planner's possessed point information (S17). It is determined whether or not receipt declarations have been received from all participants (S18). When there is a participant who has not received, steps S16 to S18 are repeated. When the receipt declaration is received from all the participants, an email including a case end notification is transmitted to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 (S19).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S12 that it is a chain type, the execution status monitoring unit 20 refers to the case detail information file 8 together with the notification that the contract with the participant has been established, and records of the corresponding case numbers The participant ID whose purchase order is 1 is extracted, the user information file 5 is referenced, the corresponding participant is identified, and an email including information such as the address and name of the first participant is sent to the planner's terminal 2 (S20). When receiving a report indicating that the purchase of the product and the shipment to the first participant has been completed from the terminal 2 (S21), an email including a notification that the product has been shipped is transmitted to the terminal 3b of the first participant. (S22). When a report indicating that a product has been received from the first participant's terminal 3b is received (S23), the point transfer unit 18 transfers the frozen point information of the participant to the planner's possessed point information (S24).

  Subsequently, the fulfillment status monitoring unit 20 refers to the case detail information file 8 to extract a participant ID whose purchase order is 2 from the record of the corresponding case number, refers to the user information file 5 and corresponds to the corresponding participation. The person is identified, and an email including information on the next participant is transmitted to the participant's terminal 3b (S25). When a notification that the product has been shipped to the next participant is received from the shipping participant's terminal 3b (S26), an email including a notification that the product has been shipped is sent to the next participant's terminal 3c. (S27). Upon receiving a report indicating that the product has been received from the terminal 3c of the shipping destination participant (S28), the point transfer unit 18 transfers the frozen point information of the participant to the possessed point information of the shipping source participant (S29). ). It is determined whether the participant (or the planner) who has transmitted the receipt report is the final owner (S30). If it is not the final owner, steps S25 to S30 are repeated. When it is the final owner, an email including a case end notification is transmitted to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 (S31).
