  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the net super server 18. As shown in FIG. 2, the net super server 18 expands various data such as a central processing unit (CPU) (not shown), a ROM (Read Only Memory) (not shown) for storing various programs. A random access memory (RAM) 103, a memory unit (not shown) such as an HDD for storing various programs, and the like. The CPU, the ROM, the RAM 103, and the memory unit are connected to each other via a data bus 110. Yes. The CPU, ROM, RAM 103, and memory unit constitute the control unit 100. That is, the control unit 100 executes a control process to be described later when the CPU operates according to a program stored in the ROM or the memory unit and expanded in the RAM 103. The RAM 103 also stores various data.

  In addition, the display unit 106 and the keyboard 108 are connected to the data bus 110 via the controller 105. Further, a network I / F (Interface) 109 that is an input unit is connected to the data bus 110. The network I / F 109 transmits data and commands from the network super server 18 and receives data and commands from the customer terminal 6 and the network super management server 14.

  In addition, the RAM 103 has a third-party address storage unit 111 that stores the address of another company's homepage and a third-party product information storage unit 112 that stores the other company's price, in order to investigate the other company's price, which is the price of another company's product. doing.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing of the net super server 18. In FIG. 4, the control unit 100 determines whether it is time to collect other company information including the other company price on the net supermarket of the other company's store in the vicinity (step SP11). This determination is made based on whether or not a timer (not shown) provided in the net super server 18 has reached the time to collect other company information. If it is determined that the collection time has come (Yes in step SP11), the control unit 100 collects other company information including the other company's price on the other company's net supermarket (step SP12). This collection is performed from the network I / F 109 via the network line 7, and the control unit 100 stores the other company's stores in the vicinity of the own store stored in the other company's address storage unit 111 (in this embodiment, A A company's A store, B company's B store, and C company's C store) access the product purchase screens at other companies 'supermarkets and collect information on other companies' prices from this screen. FIG. 5 is an example of an online supermarket product purchase screen of another company (A store of A company). In FIG. 5, a product image 41, a product code 42, a product name 43, a product price 44, and the like are displayed on the screen. The control unit 100 searches for the product code from this screen. The search is executed by performing character recognition by analyzing the purchase screen by OCR (Optical Character Recognition). When the product code 42 is found, the other company's price 44 corresponding to the product code is collected together with the product code.

  The product code of the present embodiment is, for example, a product code configured in a code system unified in Japan called a JAN code, and is common throughout the country. Therefore, the code system is analyzed to identify the product code from the product purchase screen. In the example of FIG. 5, six product codes are identified. When the product code is identified, the price of the product corresponding to the product code is collected. In this manner, the product code and the other company price of the product corresponding to the product code are collected from the product purchase screen of the other company. The collection of the product code and the other company price corresponding to the product code is executed by inputting data from the network I / F 109 which is an input unit.

  After collecting the product code and the other company price, the control unit 100 stores the collected information in the other company product information storage unit 112 in association with the collected other company product code and the other company price (step SP13). For example, in correspondence with the product code “11111111”, the other company price of A company A store, the other company price of company B store B, and the other company price of company C company C are stored together.

  Next, the control unit 100 compares the own store price stored in the price part 23 of the product master 113 of the RAM 103 with the other company price stored in the other company product information storage unit 112 for the same product code, It is determined whether there is a competitor price lower than the store price (step SP14). If it is determined that there is a competitor price lower than the store price (Yes in step SP14), the control unit 100 sets the price flag of the product code to 1 (step SP15). On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no other company price lower than the own store price and the own store price is the lowest price (No in step SP14), the control unit 100 sets the price flag of the product code to 0 (step SP16). ). That is, a product with a price flag of 1 indicates that the own store price is higher than the other company's price, and a product with a price flag of 0 indicates that the own store price is the lowest price.

  In the case of the product code “11111111”, as shown in FIG. 6 to be described later, the own store price is 380 yen, but the price of the other company in store B is 360 yen and the own store price is higher than the other company price. Is set to 1. In the case of the product code “22222222”, the price flag is set to 0 because the own store price of 118 yen is cheaper than the price of the other company. In the case of the product code “33333333”, the price of the store itself is 300 yen, which is the same as the price of the other company at store C, and is cheaper than the other company's price at store A or B, that is, the lowest price. Is done. In the case of the product code “44444444”, the own store price is 800 yen, but the price flag is set to 1 because it is higher than the other company price of the A store, the other company price of the B store, and the other company price of the C store.

  On the other hand, when determining that it is not the collection time (No in step SP11), the control unit 100 determines whether there is an instruction to display the price list (step SP21). This instruction is input from the keyboard 108, for example. If it is determined that there is an instruction to display a price list (Yes in step SP21), the control unit 100 displays the own store price and the other company price side by side on the display unit 106 for the same product code (step SP22). An example of the display in the present embodiment is shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, corresponding to the product code 51, the product name 52, the own store price 53, the A store price 54 that is the other company's price of the A company A store, and the B store price 55 that is the other company price of the B company B store. , C store price 56 which is the other company price of C store of company C is displayed side by side. For example, corresponding to the product code of the product code “11111111”, the product name is product 1, own store price 380 yen, other company price 400 yen at store A, third party price 360 yen at store B, other company price 420 yen at store C Are displayed side by side.

  Next, the control unit 100 displays the own store price stored in the own store price 53 of the product code whose flag is 1 stored in the price flag storage unit 25 of the product master 113 in red, and the flag is 0. (Step SP23). In the present embodiment, in FIG. 6, the store price 380 yen of the product code “11111111” of the product whose flag is 1 and the store price 800 yen of the product code “44444444” are displayed in red, and the flag is 0. The store price of the product code “22222222” and the product code “33333333” of the product is displayed in black.

  The person in charge changes the own shop price to an appropriate price, for example, by lowering the own shop price while looking at the other company price displayed side by side when the own shop price is displayed in red. In order to change to an appropriate price, the cursor is moved to the own shop price field on the screen of FIG. Then, by operating a determination key (not shown) on the keyboard 108, the new store price is stored in the price section 23 of the product master 113. The control unit 100 determines whether or not the enter key has been operated (step SP24). When it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step SP24), the control unit 100 stores the new own store price input from the keyboard 108 in the price unit 23 of the product master 113 (step SP25). If not operated (No in step SP24), the process is terminated without changing the own store price.

  When it is determined that there is no price list display instruction (No in step SP21), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the customer terminal 6 is logged in (step SP31). The log-in is an approval work performed by the customer terminal 6 and the net super server 18, and when approved, the customer terminal 6 can purchase a product at the net supermarket. If it is determined that the user has logged in (Yes in step SP31), the control unit 100 transmits information on the purchase screen of the product to the customer terminal 6 (step SP32). The information on the product purchase screen includes product information of all products that can be purchased at the online supermarket. Then, the control unit 100 adds the own store price of the product in the region to the product information of the product for which the price flag stored in the price flag storage unit 25 of the product master 113 is set to 0 among all the products. The information which is the lowest price is attached and transmitted to the customer terminal 6. If the control unit 100 determines that the login is not made (No in step SP31), the process ends.

  FIG. 7 is an example of a purchase screen transmitted from the network super server 18 and received and displayed by the customer terminal 6. In this embodiment, in addition to the product image 41, the product code 42, the product name 43, and the product price 44, in FIG. 7, a message 45 of “Regional lowest price!” Corresponding to information that is the lowest price in the region is displayed. It is displayed corresponding to the product image 41 as information indicating the value of the store price. The display of the message 45 indicates that the product has the lowest product price in the region.

  In the present embodiment, as the price list display processing, among the displayed product prices, the store price of the product whose price flag is 1 is displayed in red (step SP23 in FIG. 4). As an example, instead of this step SP23, only the product information of a product whose price flag is 1, that is, a product whose other company price is lower than its own store price may be displayed. FIG. 8 shows a modification of the present embodiment. 8, among the products displayed in FIG. 6, the products with the product code “11111111” and the product code “44444444” have other company prices lower than their own store prices, and the product code “22222222” and the product code “33333333”. Since the self-store price is the lowest price, only the product information of the products with the product code “11111111” and the product code “44444444” is displayed on the display unit 106.

  In this embodiment having such a configuration, since the own store price and the other company price are displayed side by side, the own store price and the other company price can be confirmed at the same time. Further, it is possible to prevent erroneous changes such as discounting, lowering the store price of products other than the originally discounted products, and lowering the store price more than necessary.

  In the present embodiment, the own store price is compared with the other company's price, and the comparison result is displayed so as to be visually understood. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether to change the own store price by looking at the comparison result.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when the own store price is higher than the other company's price, the own store price can be distinguished from other own store prices, so it is easy to set the price of the own store price higher than the other company's price. Can be recognized.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the own store price is higher than the other company's price, only the own store price is entered and displayed together with the other company's price of the compared product, so only the own store price higher than the other company's price is grasped. can do. In addition, there is no possibility of accidentally changing the own store price of a product that is not displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the own store price is the lowest price, the lowest price information is attached and transmitted to the customer terminal 6, so that the customer can easily recognize the lowest price product at the customer terminal 6. Can do.
