  Next, the sales support server 1 acquires attribute information such as the name and address of the user requesting the collection from the order DB 13B, and collects the collection request information including the attribute information and the collection kit ID into the courier system 4 (S603). Receiving this collection request information, the delivery company system 4 executes a process for collecting used futons owned by the user.

  Thereafter, the sales support server 1 transmits collection request completion information indicating that a collection request has been made to the home delivery company to the store server 2 (S604). When the store server 2 receives this collection request completion information (S502), the collection request process ends.

  When processing for collection is performed by the delivery company system 4 as described above, the delivery company goes to the address of the user and receives a collection kit containing used futons. Then, the home delivery company delivers the collection kit to the recycling company. In this embodiment, the courier delivers directly to the recycler in this way, but the collection kit containing the used futon is delivered to the recycler via the store where the futon is sold or a sales supporter. You may be made to do. When the delivery of the collection kit is completed in this way, the next collection completion process is executed.

(4) Collection Completion Process FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the collection completion process executed by the sales support server 1 and the home delivery company system 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, when delivery of the collection kit to the recycler is completed as described above, the delivery company system 4 collects the collection kit ID of the collection kit, the date and time of shipment of the collection kit (date and time of shipment from the user), and the date and time of receipt. The collection completion information including (the date and time received by the recycler) is transmitted to the sales support server 1 (S701).

  When receiving the collection completion information transmitted from the delivery company system 4 (S801), the sales support server 1 extracts the collection information including the collection kit ID included in the received delivery completion information from the collection DB 13D, and the collection information The collection DB 13D is updated by storing the collection date / time and receipt date / time of the collection kit included in the delivery completion information in the collection / delivery date / time field 404 and the collection / reception date / time field 405, respectively (step S802).

  Next, the sales support server 1 updates the collection kit DB 13A by changing the status of the collection kit ID included in the delivery information registered as described above to “used” (S803). The sales support server 1 transmits reception confirmation information indicating reception confirmation of the collection completion information to the delivery company system 4 (S804). When the delivery company system 4 receives this reception confirmation information (S702), the delivery completion process ends.

  When the used futon is delivered to the recycler as described above, the recycler performs a predetermined recycling process on the used futon at an appropriate timing. Thereby, the recycling of the futon is achieved. Thereafter, the next recycling completion process is executed.

(5) Recycling Completion Process FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the recycling completion process executed by the sales support server 1 and the recycler system 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The recycler system 5 executes the recycling process of the used futon collected as described above, and then sets the collection kit ID of the collection kit used for collecting the used futon and the date and time when the recycling process was performed. The process completion information including is transmitted to the sales support server 1 (S901).

  When the sales support server 1 receives the processing completion information transmitted from the recycler system 5 (S1001), the sales support server 1 sends the recycling information including the collection kit ID and the execution date and time of the recycling processing included in the received processing completion information to the recycling DB 13E. By registering, the recycle DB 13E is updated (S1002). Next, the sales support server 1 transmits reception confirmation information indicating reception confirmation of the processing completion information to the recycler system 5 (S1003). When the recycler system 5 receives this reception confirmation information (S902), the recycle completion process ends.

  As described above, through the treatments (1) to (5), the used futons are collected in exchange for the sold futons, and the used futons are recycled. Information that can be grasped is accumulated in the sales support server 1. By analyzing such information, it is possible to obtain various useful information, such as how much collection has been performed. Below, the process for notifying a user etc. of such useful information is demonstrated.

(6) Collection Status Notification Process FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the collection status notification process executed by the sales support server 1 and the store server 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The sales support server 1 uses the delivery information stored in the delivery DB 13C and the collection information stored in the collection DB 13D to calculate the quantity of futons sold and the quantity of used futons collected, Collection status information is generated that indicates how much collection has been done with respect to sales (S1101). Next, the sales support server 1 transmits the generated collection status information to the store server 2 (S1102).

  When the store server 2 receives the collection status information transmitted from the sales support server 1 (S1201), the store server 2 sends the browsing request information for requesting browsing of the collection status information to each user side using means such as e-mail. To the user terminal 3 (S1202). The user terminal 3 that has received the browsing request information accesses the store server 2 using the URL indicated in the browsing request information, and acquires the collection status information. Then, the user terminal 3 displays a collection status screen including the collection status information on the display.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a collection status screen displayed on the display of the user terminal 3. As shown in FIG. 14, in the collection status screen 1001, a value indicating a ratio of a collected used futon quantity (sales quantity) to a sold futon quantity (sales quantity) for each specific period is represented by a bar graph. It is represented. Here, for example, the sales quantity in August means the quantity of futons sold in August and delivered to the user, and the collected quantity in August means the collection delivered to the user together with the futons sold in August. This means the amount of used futon collected by the kit. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the hatched portion indicates the difference between the sales quantity and the collection quantity. Therefore, when all the collection kits delivered to the user are used and collected, the hatched portion is eliminated. On the other hand, the smaller the collection quantity, that is, the smaller the collection, the larger the hatched portion. Therefore, by checking this collection status screen, the user can grasp how much collection is being performed. As a result, if the user determines that the collection is sufficiently advanced, the user will positively recognize the system as being recycled effectively, and so the user wishes to use the system further. It is possible. Therefore, it can be expected that futons will be recycled and sales of futons will be promoted.

(7) Recycling Status Notification Process FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the recycling status notification process executed by the sales support server 1 and the store server 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The sales support server 1 uses the delivery information stored in the delivery DB 13C and the recycling information stored in the recycling DB 13E to determine the quantity of sold futons and the quantity of used futons that have been recycled. Recycling status information indicating the percentage of recycling for the sales is generated (S1301). Next, the sales support server 1 transmits the generated recycling status information to the store server 2 (S1302).

  When the store server 2 receives the recycling status information transmitted from the sales support server 1 (S1401), the browsing request information for requesting browsing of the recycling status information is set to the user terminal 3 in the same manner as in the case of the recovery status information. (S1402). The user terminal 3 that has received the browsing request information accesses the store server 2 using the URL indicated in the browsing request information, and acquires the recycling status information. Then, the user terminal 3 displays a recycling status screen including the recycling status information on the display.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a recycling status screen displayed on the display of the user terminal 3. As shown in FIG. 16, in the recycling status screen 2001, a value indicating the ratio of the number of used futons (recycled quantity) for which recycling processing has been executed with respect to the quantity of futons sold (sold quantity) for each specific period. It is represented by a bar graph. Here, for example, the August recycling quantity means the quantity of the used futons collected by the collection kit delivered to the user together with the futons sold in August, for which the recycling process has been executed. . Also in the example shown in FIG. 16, as in the case of the collection status information, the hatched portion indicates the difference between the sales quantity and the recycling quantity. By confirming this recycling status screen, the user can grasp how much recycling is being performed, and can expect the same effect as in the case of the recovery status information.

  Note that the above-described collection status information and recycling status information may be provided to the user together. In this case, checking the sales quantity / collected quantity / recycled quantity together makes it possible to easily grasp each relationship. Further, the sales support server 1 may directly provide the collection status information or the recycling status information to the user, not via the store server 2.

(Other embodiments)
In the embodiment described above, the collection kit is bundled with the sold futon and delivered to the user, but may be delivered separately from the sold futon. In that case, the sales support server 1 updates the recovery kit DB 13A by changing the status of the recovery kit ID to “user” in step S203 in the order receiving process described above. The procedure for shipping to the user who is the orderer of the futon will be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the sales supporter and the store directly deal with each other. However, a wholesaler on the Internet called an online wholesaler is interposed between the sales supporter and the store. It is also assumed. In this case, a wholesaler who has received a futon order from a store places an order for a collection kit with respect to a sales support company. Then, the collection kit is delivered to the user from the sales support provider directly or not via the store. In addition, it is also assumed that the sales support company sells the collection kit to the wholesaler in advance, and the wholesaler who purchased it sells the futon with the collection kit to each store as its own planned product. The In this case, it is conceivable that each store orders the futon from the wholesaler when receiving an order from the user, and the wholesaler that has received this order delivers the product to the user. In such a case, the wholesaler's computer system may function as a futon-related product sales support system.

  In the embodiment described above, the store server 2 provides the collection status information and the recycling status information to the user. However, the sales support server 1 may provide the same. Further, the collection status information and the recycling status information may be widely disclosed to the public without being limited to users of the system.

  In the above-described embodiment, the collection status information and the recycling status information are expressed in the form of a bar graph. Of course, other formats may be used. Furthermore, in the above-described example, the bar graph is displayed for each period, but in addition, the collection status and the recycling status can be expressed from various viewpoints such as by region and by user.

  In the embodiment described above, the function of the sales support server 1 is realized by the single computer 1a. However, the function of the sales support server 1 may be realized by a distributed system using a plurality of computers. In addition, various modes such as the store server 2 having the function of the sales support server 1 can be realized.

  The futon-related product sales support system of the present invention is useful as a futon-related product sales support system for promoting the recycling of futons.
