In addition, although the object of the transaction in the following description is a travel product, the product may be, for example, a ticket such as a movie, an article such as a home appliance, or a service such as a culture school.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the commodity transaction intermediary device 10 is a server system, and is connected via a communication network 1 to a linked site terminal 2 as a provider terminal and a user terminal 3 as a purchaser terminal. Has been.

  The communication network 1 is, for example, the Internet, a network connected by a dedicated line, an intra-company LAN, an inter-company LAN, a WAN, or the like. The form of the communication line is, for example, wired communication, wireless communication, satellite communication, or the like.

  The linked sites are, for example, travel agencies, accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, accommodation facility reservation brokerage agents, etc., and accommodation facility reservation brokerage agents include tour operators, land operators, wholesalers, and the like. On the other hand, the user is a person who wishes to reserve or purchase a travel product provided on the linked site. The cooperation site terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 are, for example, a personal computer, a workstation, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a television terminal that can be connected to the communication network 1, a game terminal, and the like.

  The merchandise transaction brokerage apparatus 10 includes a plan information input system 11, an automatic discount management system 12, a database 13, and a search system 14. The search system 14 includes a discount calculation unit and an information output unit. In each of the systems 11, 12, and 14, as shown in FIG. 2, the commodity transaction mediation method is realized through steps S1 to S5. In addition, regarding each of these systems 11, 12, and 14, it is arbitrary whether the system is configured by being mounted on a single device or a plurality of devices connected via a network.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in step S <b> 1, the plan information input system 11 receives the plan information input from the cooperation site terminal 2 and registers it in the database 13 stored in the storage unit.

  The plan information is the contents of the travel product, such as the name of the accommodation facility, the accommodation price, the accommodation period, the number of guests, the meal conditions, the room type, and the inventory (vacancy). That is, the travel product has plan information specified, and there are a plurality of travel products for each accommodation facility. The input method may be input using a file or input using an API (Application Programming Interface). Plan information is updated once a day for file input (inventory updates from 1 to 3 times a day), and once for an API input (for inventory updates). Several times a day).

  In step S <b> 2, the automatic discount management system 12 receives discount setting information from the merchandise transaction intermediary device 10 or the linked site terminal 2 via the automatic discount management screen (see FIG. 5) and registers it in the database 13. The discount setting information is a condition when the price of the travel product is discounted, and the travel product corresponding to the condition is a discount target product. As shown in FIG. 5, the discount setting information includes discount name information, adaptation period information, cumulative limit information, cumulative amount information, pre-discount minimum price information, follow-up difference information, discount price information, discount minimum price information, Includes discount method information, fee information, and target facility information.

  As the discount name information, for example, an arbitrary name such as “sales promotion campaign” is input.

  As the adaptation period information, a period to be discounted is input.

  The lowest price information before discount is input with the lowest price of the price of the discount target product (hereinafter referred to as “discount target price”). For example, if the pre-discount minimum price is “6000 yen”, travel products of 6000 yen or more are discounted products, and travel products of less than 6000 yen are not discounted.

  Follow-up amount information includes the discounted price and the cheapest price (hereinafter “general price”) of the travel products of other companies whose search conditions are the same as the discounted product (hereinafter “general price”). Amount allowed as the difference between and is entered. For example, if the follow-up difference amount is “1000 yen”, discount target products whose difference from the general lowest price is within 1000 yen will be discounted, and discount target products higher than 1000 yen will not be discounted.

  As the discount price information, an amount deducted from the general lowest price is input. The price obtained by subtracting the discount price from the general lowest price is the discount change price. The discount change price is a price after the discount target price has been discounted and changed.

  As the lowest price information after discount, the lowest price of the discount change price is input. For example, if the lowest price after discount is “4500 yen”, discount target products whose discount change price is 4500 yen or more are subject to discount, and discount target products whose discount change price is lower than 4500 yen are subject to discount. Don't be.

  The accumulated amount information is a total of accumulated discount amounts. The discount amount is the difference between the discount target price and the discount change price.

  In the accumulated limit amount information, an amount allowed as the upper limit of the total of the accumulated discount amounts is input.

  The discount method information specifies a method for discounting the discount amount from the discount target price at the time of settlement. For example, a discount at the time of reservation, a coupon discount or the like is selected. Discounts at the time of reservation are settled at the discounted change price by, for example, the method of settlement at the discounted price at the time of booking, or the discounted coupon code that has been issued to the linked site with the discount target price entered in advance at the time of booking. And so on. The discount coupon code is issued on a discount coupon acquisition page that transitions when a discount target product is selected (clicked) on the user terminal 3. On the other hand, the coupon discount is a method in which a discount coupon is given as a point according to the discount amount. After paying at the discounted price, the user receives a discount or other service according to the points earned.

  In the fee information, the ratio of brokerage fee is input.

  As the target facility information, the name of the accommodation facility to be discounted is input.

  In step S <b> 3, the search system 14 searches the database 13 based on the search condition input by the user, and extracts travel products of plan information corresponding to the search condition. At that time, the discount calculation unit extracts a discount target product based on the discount setting information, calculates a discount change price, and changes the discount target price to the discount change price. If the cumulative amount of the discount amount reaches the cumulative limit amount or is outside the range of the adaptation period, the discount is not performed.

  More specifically, in the search system 14, as shown in FIG. 3, the database 13 is searched based on the search condition input from the user terminal 3, and among the travel products provided by a plurality of cooperation sites, the search condition is set as the search condition. The travel product of the plan information corresponding to the same condition is extracted (step S3-1). It is determined whether or not the extracted travel product is a discount target product corresponding to the discount setting information (step S3-2). If applicable, step S3-3 is processed. Is displayed on the WEB (step S3-7). In step S3-3, it is determined whether or not a plurality of discount setting information is set in the travel product by a plurality of linked sites, and if applicable, step S3-4 is processed. 5 is processed.

  Describing step S3-5 in detail, the discount calculation unit of the search system 14 extracts discount target products based on the discount setting information, and changes the discount target price to the discount change price reflecting the discount setting information. That is, of the referenced discount setting information (see FIG. 5), travel products that are included in the target facility and that are equal to or higher than the lowest price before discount are extracted as discount target products. If the difference between the discount target price and the general lowest price is less than the following difference, the discount price is calculated by subtracting the discount price from the general lowest price, and if the discount price is greater than the discounted minimum price The discount target price is changed to the discount change price. One or both of the lowest price before discount and the lowest price after discount can be set arbitrarily.

  Discount change prices are rearranged at the top and output (step S3-6) and displayed on the web (step S3-7).

  In step S3-4, either of the next changed price lowest price process or the highest commission price process is executed. In other words, according to the modified price cheapest price processing, a plurality of discounted prices extracted based on a plurality of discount setting information are compared with the general cheapest price, and the discounted price at which the discounted modified price becomes the cheapest is discounted. Changed to a changed price. In other words, the linked site that provides the discount target product with the lowest discounted price is advantageous. On the other hand, according to the highest commission value processing, the discount target price extracted based on the discount setting information with the highest commission value among the plurality of discount target prices extracted based on the plurality of discount setting information is discounted. Changed to a changed price. In other words, a linked site that provides a discount target product with the highest commission is advantageous. After any of the processes, step S3-5 and subsequent steps are processed. The processing conditions in step S3-4 are not limited to the change price lowest price process and the highest commission price process, but are arbitrary.

  In step S4, as shown in FIG. 4, in the search system 14, when accessing the reservation site of the linked site of the selected discount target product, the discount information is encrypted and transmitted to the reservation site by the information output unit. (Step S4-1). The discount information includes discount setting information, discount change price, general lowest price, and discount amount. In the reservation site, when the travel product is reserved (step S4-2), the discount information is decrypted (step S4-3) and settled (step S4-4). The settlement is performed based on a discount method input via the automatic discount management screen (see FIG. 5) of the automatic discount management system 12, for example, at the time of reservation, coupon discount, or the like.

  In step S5, as shown in FIG. 1, discount information is transmitted and received by the automatic discount management system 12 during conversion. In the automatic discount management system 12, the discount amount is added and accumulated as accumulated amount information. If the cumulative amount reaches the cumulative limit, no discount is given. Similarly, no discount is given when the period is outside the range of the adaptation period.

  Next, the process in the search system 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 illustrates the processing of the discount amount calculation procedure by the discount calculation unit.

  In FIG. 6, as a result of the search based on the search conditions by the user, XX hotels that are travel products of the same conditions provided by Company A, Company B, and Company C are extracted, and the accommodation price of each company is 21,000 yen each. (Company A), 21500 yen (Company B), 23,000 yen (Company C). When discount setting information has been set for company B, the travel product of company B includes XX hotel in the target facility based on the discount setting information, and the accommodation price of 21,500 yen is based on the discount setting information. Since it is 6000 yen or more which is the lowest price before discount, it is extracted as a discount target product. As a result of the search, if two or more travel products with the same conditions provided by company B are extracted, for example, the travel product with the lowest accommodation price is extracted as the discount target product. The extraction condition at that time is not limited to “the lowest accommodation price”, but is arbitrary.

General prices other than 21500 yen for Company B, which is the discount change price, are 21,000 yen for Company A and 23,000 yen for Company C, of which the general lowest price is 21,000 yen. The difference between Company B's discounted price of 21,500 yen and the general lowest price of 21,000 yen is 500 yen, and this difference of 500 yen is a follow-up difference based on discount setting information of 1000 yen or less. Therefore, the discount price of 500 yen based on the discount setting information is subtracted from the general lowest price price of 21,000 yen, and the discount change price of 20500 yen is calculated. This discounted change price of 20500 yen is more than the discounted minimum price of 4500 yen,
The discount target price of 21,500 yen for the discount target product of company B is changed to 20500 yen, which is the discount change price, and the discount change price of company B is sorted and output at the top and displayed on the WEB.

  Next, processing in the search system 14 when a plurality of discount setting information is set for a travel product will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 shows an explanation of the discount calculation procedure performed by the discount calculation unit when a plurality of discount setting information is set. In this case, either the changed price lowest price process or the highest commission price process is processed by a so-called auction format.

  In addition to the above-mentioned company B, it is assumed that discount setting information is set for company C in FIG. The travel product of company C is included in the target facility based on the discount setting information, and the hotel price 23,000 yen is 8000 yen or more which is the lowest price before discount based on the discount setting information. It is extracted as a discount target product.

  Here, according to the modified price cheapest price processing, the general prices other than the discounted price of company C 23,000 yen are 21,000 yen for company A and 21500 yen for company B. Among these, the general cheapest price is 21,000 yen. The difference between the discounted change price of 23,000 yen for Company C and 21,000 yen for the general lowest price is 2000 yen, and the difference of 2000 yen is less than 5000 yen, the follow-up difference based on the discount setting information. Therefore, the discount price of 600 yen based on the discount setting information is subtracted from the general lowest price price of 21000 yen, and the discount change price of 20400 yen is calculated. Since this discounted change price of 20400 yen is 5000 yen or more which is the lowest price after discount, 23,000 yen which is the discount target price of the discount target product of Company C is temporarily changed to 20400 yen which is the discount change price. Be changed.

  Company B's discount change price of 20500 yen and Company C's discount change price of 20400 yen are compared, and Company C's discount change price is the lowest price. A certain 23,000 yen is changed to a discounted change price of 20400 yen. Only the discount change price of company C is sorted and output at the top and displayed on the WEB. The discount target price for Company B is 21500 yen without being changed, but the discount target price for Company B, which is 21,500 yen, is changed to 20500 yen, which is the discount change price, and rearranged below Company C. It may be.

  On the other hand, according to the highest commission processing, 5%, which is the commission for Company B, is compared with 3%, which is the commission for Company C, and the commission for Company B is the highest. The discount target price of 21,500 yen is changed to the discount change price of 20,500 yen. Only the discount change price of company B is sorted and output at the top and displayed on the WEB. In addition, the discount target price of Company C is 23,000 yen without being changed.

  Next, a general configuration of the commodity transaction mediating apparatus 10 will be described.

  The merchandise transaction mediating apparatus 10 realizes a merchandise transaction mediating method, and includes at least a storage unit, an input unit, an output unit, a control unit, and the like (all not shown). The storage unit includes a ROM, a RAM, an HDD, and the like. The input unit includes a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and the like, and the output unit includes a liquid crystal display. The control unit is realized by a CPU or the like, detects input information from the input unit, and stores a part of an OS (Operating System) program or application program to be executed by the CPU according to a program stored in the ROM. Is used to control the commodity transaction mediation apparatus 10 and the processing result of the input information is output to the output unit.

  The commodity transaction mediating apparatus 10 can be realized by a hardware configuration, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and software. For example, when realized by software, it can be realized by actually configuring a computer CPU or MPU, ROM, RAM, etc., and operating a program stored in the ROM or RAM.

  Therefore, the commodity transaction mediation program that causes the computer to operate so as to perform the functions of the above-described devices can be realized by storing it in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM and reading it into the computer. As a storage medium for storing the commodity transaction mediation program, for example, a flexible disk, an optical disk, or the like can be used in addition to the CD-ROM.

  The merchandise transaction brokerage device 10 may function as an ASP (Application Service Provider), and can also be realized by downloading a merchandise transaction brokerage program to a computer via a network such as the Internet. Furthermore, these hardware and software resources can also be provided in a form such as a cloud accessible via a network.

  As described above, the product transaction mediation program, the product transaction mediation apparatus 10, the product transaction mediation system, the product transaction mediation method, and the storage medium storing the product transaction mediation program are configured.

  Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the database 13 is searched based on the search condition input from the user terminal 3, and plans of the same condition corresponding to the search condition among travel products provided by a plurality of cooperation sites are provided. Information travel products are extracted (FIG. 3: step S3-1). In the discount calculation unit of the search system 14, the travel product that is included in the target facility and is equal to or higher than the lowest price before discount is extracted as the discount target product from the referenced discount setting information (see FIG. 5). If the difference between the discount target price and the general lowest price is less than the following difference, the discount price is calculated by subtracting the discount price from the general lowest price, and if the discount price is greater than the discounted minimum price The discount target price is changed to the discount change price.

  In other words, if products that meet the same search conditions are offered at different prices for multiple providers, the discount target products that are subject to preset discount setting information will have a discount price other than the general price. It is changed to a discount change price cheaper than. Therefore, the cooperation site that provides the product that is the target of the discount setting information can always provide the lowest-priced product to the user, and can increase the possibility of selling the product. In addition, the monitoring burden on the trends of other companies can be reduced, and the work can be simplified. On the other hand, the user can make a reservation purchase transaction of the product at the lowest price in the market.

  According to the modified price cheapest price processing according to the present embodiment, a plurality of discountable prices extracted based on a plurality of discount setting information and the general cheapest price are compared, and the discountable price at which the discount modified price becomes the lowest price. Is changed to the discount change price (FIG. 3: steps S3-4 and S3-5). In other words, when multiple discount setting information is set for a product by multiple linked sites, the discount target price with the lowest discounted change price among the discount target prices of the discount target product is the discount change. Changed to price. Therefore, even if the discount target price competes, one of the linked sites can always provide the user with the lowest priced product.

  According to the highest commission value processing of the present embodiment, the discount target price extracted based on the discount setting information having the highest commission value among the plurality of discount target prices extracted based on the plurality of discount setting information. The discount change price is changed (FIG. 3: steps S3-4 and S3-5). That is, when multiple discount setting information is set for a product, the discount target price extracted based on the discount setting information with the highest brokerage fee among the discount setting information is changed to the discount change price. The Therefore, even if the discount target price competes, one of the linked sites can always provide the user with the lowest priced product.

  According to the present embodiment, if the difference between the discount target price and the general lowest price is less than or equal to the following difference, the discount price is calculated by subtracting the discount price from the general lowest price, and the discount target price is discounted. Changed to price. That is, based on the follow-up difference information arbitrarily set by the cooperation site, the discount degree from the discount target price is determined based on the general lowest price. Therefore, the cooperation site can arbitrarily determine the discount degree from the discount target price within the allowable range based on the following difference information.

  Further, the discount degree from the general lowest price is determined based on the discount price information arbitrarily set by the cooperation site. Therefore, the cooperation site can arbitrarily determine the discount rate from the general lowest price within the allowable range based on the discount price information.

According to this embodiment, the discount information is encrypted and transmitted to the reservation site by the information output unit (FIG. 4: step S4-1).
