  In the present embodiment, when the receiving unit 311 receives a purchase request, the determination unit 312 receives product identification information (product number, product) stored in association with the member number included in the received purchase request from the order management file F1. Name) and the number of purchases. The determination unit 312 reads the sales price, processing information, and price information stored in association with the read product identification information from the product master file F2. Further, the determination unit 312 reads the discount amount and the number of established purchases stored in association with the read process information from the discount process management file F3. Then, the determination unit 312 determines whether or not the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 has reached an integer multiple of the number of successful purchases read from the discount processing management file F3. Note that the determination unit 312 performs the same processing as when a purchase request is received even when the purchase number is input in the quantity field 705 and the purchase number, product identification information, and member number are received. Further, the determination unit 312 performs the same processing as when a purchase request is received even when the delete button 708 is operated to receive product identification information and a member number.

  In addition, the determination unit 312 determines that the number of purchases included in the ordered product list received by the receiving unit 311 is the product identification included in the ordered product list received by the receiving unit 311 in the product master file F2 and the discount processing management file F3. It is determined whether or not the number of established purchases stored in association with the information has reached an integer multiple of the number of established purchases stored in association with the high discount amount.

  In the present embodiment, when a plurality of pieces of processing information stored in association with the read product identification information are read from the product master file F2, the determination unit 312 reads the plurality of read information in the discount processing management file F3. The discount amount and the number of established purchases stored in association with the processing information are read out. Then, the determination unit 312 reaches the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases stored in association with the highest discount amount among the number of established purchases stored in association with the read discount amount by an integer. Judge whether or not.

  When the transmission unit 313 determines that the number of purchases included in the received order product list has not reached the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases by an integer, the order product received in the product master file F2 and the discount processing management file F3 It transmits in order to alert | report the information regarding the discount process which the process information stored in association with the merchandise item identification information included in the list represents.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission unit 313 determines that the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 has not reached an integer multiple of the number of completed purchases read from the discount processing management file F3. A product purchase page Y including information regarding discount processing represented by the processing information read from the file F2 and prompting a change in the number of products purchased represented by the product identification information read from the order management file F1 is generated. Then, the transmission unit 313 transmits the generated product purchase page Y to the customer terminal 10 via the communication interface 332.

  More specifically, the transmission unit 313 is a number obtained by multiplying the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 (the number of purchases included in the received order product list) by an integral multiple of the number of successful purchases read from the discount processing management file F3. If it is determined that the price has not been reached, information on discount processing may be transmitted based on the number of established purchases stored in association with the product identification information included in the received ordered product list in the product master file F2. good. For example, the transmission unit 313 subtracts the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 from the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases read from the discount processing management file F3 by an integer (that is, the purchase read from the order management file F1). The number of purchases necessary to reach the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases by an integer). Thereby, the customer who operates the customer terminal 10 can recognize how many more products can be purchased to receive the discount process.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a product purchase page according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 8, if the transmission unit 313 determines that the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 has not reached the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases read from the discount processing management file F3 by an integer, Assume that a product purchase page Y including a message 801 for prompting a change in the number of purchases and a button 802 for requesting transmission of the initial page X is generated. When the button 802 is operated and transmission of the initial page X is requested, the transmission unit 313 generates the initial page X again and transmits the generated initial page X to the customer terminal 10.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of purchases included in the received ordered product list does not reach the number obtained by multiplying the number of established purchases by an integer, it is stored in association with the product identification information included in the received ordered product list. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the transmission unit 313 determines that the number of purchases included in the received ordered product list has not reached an integer multiple of the number of established purchases, and the number of purchases included in the received ordered product list is the number of established purchases. When the number is a predetermined number or less than the number obtained by multiplying the number by an integer, information regarding discount processing may be transmitted. Thereby, for example, when the number of purchases included in the received ordered product list is less than the number of successful purchases, information on discount processing can be transmitted, so that it is more convenient for the customer who operates the customer terminal 10 Only valid information can be sent.

  The transmitting unit 313 indicates that the price information stored in association with the read product identification information (the product identification information included in the received ordered product list) has an individual sales price in the product master file F2, and The number of purchased purchases (the number of purchases included in the received ordered product list) is equal to or more than two successful purchases stored in association with the read product identification information in the product master file F2 and the discount processing management file F3. If it is determined that the number has not reached an integer multiple, the transmission of information relating to discount processing is stopped. As a result, if the candidate product has an individual selling price and the read number of purchases has reached the number of established purchases, the customer can add a single product Since it is considered that the purchase is desired, information regarding discount processing is not transmitted.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a transmission example of information related to discount processing when a product has an individual sales price and when a product does not have an individual sales price. The example shown in FIG. 9 is a transmission example of information related to discount processing (processing information: discount processing represented by “1”) executed when three products A or B are purchased in one transaction. It is.

  For example, when the total number of purchases, which is the total number of purchases of the products A and B, is less than the number of established purchases: “3”, the transmission unit 313 sells the products A and B individually as shown in FIG. Regardless of whether or not it has a price, processing information: information related to the discount processing represented by “1” is transmitted to the customer terminal 10. In addition, when the total number of purchases of product A and product B is greater than the number of established purchases: “3” and product A and product B do not have individual sales prices (when price information is “none”) 9, the transmission unit 313 transmits, to the customer terminal 10, information related to the discount process represented by process information: “1”.

  On the other hand, when the total number of purchases of product A and product B is greater than the number of established purchases: “3” and product A and product B have individual sales prices (when price information is “Yes”) As shown in FIG. 9, the transmission unit 313 does not transmit information related to the discount process represented by process information: “1” to the customer terminal 10.

  In addition, the transmission unit 313 does not reach the number of purchases read from the order management file F1 (the number of purchases included in the received order product list) that is an integral multiple of the number of successful purchases read from the discount processing management file F3. In the product master file F2 and the discount processing management file F3, the discount is stored in association with the higher discount among the discounts stored in association with the product identification information included in the received ordered product list. It is assumed that information related to the discount processing represented by the processing information is transmitted.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission unit 313 multiplies the number of established purchases stored by associating the highest purchase amount with the read purchase number stored in association with the read discount amount. When it is determined that the number has not been reached, in the product master file F2, information related to the discount processing represented by the processing information stored in association with the highest discount amount is transmitted. Thereby, more useful information for the customer who operates the customer terminal 10 can be transmitted.

  FIG. 10 is a transmission example of information regarding discount processing representing processing information stored in association with the highest discount amount among the discount amounts stored in association with the product identification information included in the received ordered product list. FIG. In the example illustrated in FIG. 10, the product identification information indicating the product A and the product B includes a plurality of pieces of processing information (processing information “2” indicating a discount processing in which the number of established purchases is 5 and the discount amount is 60 yen, and It is an example of transmission of information related to discount processing when stored in association with processing information “1”) representing discount processing with 3 successful purchases and a discount amount of 30 yen.

  When the product identification information representing the product A and the product B is stored in association with the processing information: “1” and the processing information: “2”, the transmission unit 313 processes the processing information with a high discount: “2”. Information on discount processing represented by is transmitted.

  For example, when the total purchase number that is the total number of purchases of the product A and the product B is less than the number of established purchases: “5”, the transmission unit 313 sells the product A and the product B individually as shown in FIG. Regardless of whether or not it has a price, processing information: information related to the discount processing represented by “2” is transmitted to the customer terminal 10. In addition, when the total number of purchases of product A and product B is greater than the number of established purchases: “5” and product A and product B do not have individual selling prices (when price information is “none”) As shown in FIG. 10, the transmission unit 313 transmits information related to the discount process represented by process information: “2” to the customer terminal 10.

  On the other hand, when the total purchase number of the product A and the product B is larger than the number of established purchases: “5” and the product A and the product B have individual selling prices (when the price information is “Yes”) As shown in FIG. 10, the transmission unit 313 does not transmit information related to the discount process represented by the process information: “2” to the customer terminal 10.

  Next, the flow of processing for transmitting information related to discount processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of information transmission processing related to discount processing in the net super server according to the present embodiment.
