  Then, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 uses the candidate product (product name, product ID) for which the input has been received as purchase schedule information, and transmits it to the center server 3 together with the operator's customer ID (step S15). The transmission to the center server 3 may be performed every time a candidate product is input, or a plurality of candidate products may be performed at a time according to a predetermined operation or the like.

  On the other hand, the control unit 31 of the center server 3 determines whether or not purchase schedule information including the customer ID and the candidate product is received from the customer terminal 2 (step S21). If it is determined that it has been received (Yes in step S21), the received purchase schedule information is stored in the shopping list management table T1 (step S22). And the control part 31 adds the received candidate goods to the statistics part 351, and memorize | stores it (step S23). And control part 31 transmits received customer ID and purchase schedule information to store server 4 (Step S24).

  Here, the store server 4 as a transmission destination is not particularly limited, and it is preferable to select the store server 4 of the store that sells the candidate product. For example, it is good also as a form transmitted to all the store servers 4 connected to the center server 3. Moreover, it is good also as a form which selects the shop server 4 used as a transmission destination based on the purchase history information memorize | stored in 1st purchase history management table T2. When this form is adopted, the control unit 31 extracts a record corresponding to the customer ID received from the customer terminal 2 from the first purchase history management table T2. And the control part 31 selects the store server 4 of the store (store ID) contained in the extracted record as a transmission destination. Here, all of the stores included in the extracted record may be set as the transmission destination, or a store satisfying a predetermined condition such that the number of extractions is a predetermined value or more may be set as the transmission destination. Moreover, it is good also considering the store with the track record in which the candidate goods contained in purchase plan information were purchased among the stores contained in the extracted record as a transmission destination.

  When the control unit 41 of the store server 4 receives the customer ID and the purchase schedule information from the center server 3 (Yes in step S31), the control unit 41 stores the record of the product corresponding to the candidate product included in the purchase schedule information in the product management table T3. (Step S32).

  Here, when the candidate product is represented by a specific name, the control unit 41 extracts a record of the product corresponding to the specific name from the product management table T3. When the candidate product is represented by a common name, the control unit 41 extracts a record of a product belonging to a category or the like corresponding to the common name from the product management table T3. When the candidate product is represented by a product code, the control unit 41 extracts a record of the product corresponding to the product code from the product management table T3.

  The control unit 41 of the store server 4 issues an electronic coupon instructed to give a privilege such as discount or point grant to the product extracted by the control unit 41, and adds it to the record of the corresponding product (step S33). ).

  Here, the product for which the privilege is granted is not particularly limited. For example, when it is predetermined that a privilege is given to a specific product among the products extracted by the control unit 41, an electronic coupon is added to the record of the product (step S33).

  Moreover, you may determine dynamically the goods and privilege content which provide a privilege according to a purchase history. In this case, for example, referring to the record of the customer ID received from the center server 3 from the purchase merchandise management table T4 or the second purchase history management table T5, based on the purchase rate or purchase record described later obtained from the record, You may determine the goods and privilege content which provide a privilege. In addition, the object of privilege provision is not limited to the product unit, but may be the entire product or a visit to the store. Moreover, it is good also as a form which determines an expiration date etc. in an electronic coupon.

  The control unit 41 of the store server 4 uses the record of each product extracted by the control unit 41, the electronic coupon issued by the control unit 41, and the store ID of the own store as additional information, along with the customer ID received by the control unit 41, It transmits to the server 3 (step S34).

  The information included in the additional information is not limited to the above, and may be transmitted including other information. For example, advertisement information for advertising a store or a specific product may be included in the additional information. In this case, the advertisement information may be prepared in advance, or may be dynamically generated by the control unit 41 or the like based on the product or the like extracted by the control unit 41. In this process, the store server 4 generates and returns additional information, but is not limited thereto. For example, a form in which a store clerk manually generates additional information and returns it based on the purchase schedule information transmitted from the center server 3 may be adopted. In this case, for example, by issuing benefits such as discounts as electronic coupons for products that are frequently planned to be purchased, it is possible to promote visits to the store.

  The control unit 31 of the center server 3 determines whether a customer ID and additional information are received from the store server 4 (step S41). Waiting for reception (No in step S41) and determining that it has been received (Yes in step S41), the control unit 31 stores additional information in the record of the shopping list management table T1 corresponding to this customer ID ( Step S42).

  The control unit 31 of the center server 3 refers to the record of the first purchase history management table T2 corresponding to the customer ID received from the store server 4, and reads the comment information associated with the product included in the additional information. . Subsequently, the control unit 31 of the center server 3 adds the read comment information to the record of the corresponding product included in the additional information (Step S43).

  Then, the control unit 31 adds statistical information stored in the statistical unit 351 to the candidate information stored in step S22 (step S44).

  And the control part 31 of the center server 3 transmits the additional information to which comment information and statistical information were added to the customer terminal 2 of customer ID received from the store server 4 (step S45).

  On the other hand, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 determines whether or not additional information has been received from the center server 3 (step S51). If it judges that it received (Yes of step S51), the control part 21 will memorize | store the memo information as candidate goods information containing comment information and statistical information in the memo memory | storage part 282 (step S52). And the control part 21 performs the process for updating the display of the shopping list screen G1 using the received additional information (step S53).

  FIG. 15 shows the updated shopping list screen G1. In FIG. 15, the memo information A26 of “product A1”, “product D”, and “product E1” is displayed in print type because the product is specified. In addition, in the memo information A27 of “product B” and “product C”, the product is not specified and the handwritten characters remain. The statistical information A22 is the total number of the products sold within a predetermined period (for example, one month) and the number of the products input as candidate products to the customer terminal 2 within the predetermined period. Note that the number of items sold and the number of inputs may be displayed separately. The displayed coupon A23 indicates that a coupon is added to the product.

  In the example of FIG. 15, a coupon A23 is added to “product A1”. Also, in the vicinity of the printed memo information A26, there was an input as statistical information A22 (355 items, 50 items, and 133 candidate items in the notes of “product A1”, “product D”, and “product E1”, respectively. Number) is displayed. These numerical values are numerical values indicating the degree of reputation, expectation and evaluation of the product by the customer.

  In step S53, icon addition processing is executed. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing in detail the icon addition processing in step S53. In FIG. 12, the control unit 21 updates the display of the shopping list screen G1 (step S71). Next, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the memo information of any candidate product displayed on the shopping list screen G1 is designated by the customer's touch operation (step S72).

  The customer carrying the customer terminal 2 adds a mark indicating the reputation and expectation of the product of the memo information to the memo information A26 displayed in the printed form from the shopping list screen G1 displayed on the display unit 23. Can do. In that case, the customer touches and designates the memo information of a product to which a reputation or expectation is to be added among the memo information displayed on the shopping list screen G1. If it is determined that the memo information has been designated (Yes in step S72), the control unit 21 reverses the display of the product name of the designated memo information to indicate that the memo information has been designated.

  Next, the control unit 21 determines whether the designated memo information is the memo information A26 displayed in type or the memo information A27 displayed in handwriting (step S73). When it is determined that the memo information is displayed in print (Yes in Step S73), the control unit 21 pops up a candidate for a mark (icon) indicating reputation or expectation in the vicinity of the memo information (Step S74). .

  The customer selects and touches (designates) an arbitrary icon from the displayed icons. The control unit 21 (evaluation input receiving means 217) determines whether or not an icon is designated (step S75). The control unit 21 waits until it is designated (No in step S75) and determines that it is designated (Yes in step S75). The control unit 21 stores the designated icon in association with the memo information in the icon storage unit 281 ( Step S76). Then, the control unit 21 displays the specified icon in association with the rear side of the display of the memo information (step S77).

  The icon displayed here indicates the degree of expectation or reputation for a product that may be purchased from now on, and is determined by the customer himself and added to the product. In the embodiment, for the product of the handwritten memo information A27, since a single product has not been confirmed, an icon indicating the degree of expectation or reputation for the product cannot be added. However, an icon indicating the degree of expectation or reputation for the product may be added to the product of the handwritten memo information A27.

  In the embodiment, the same icon can be added only once to one piece of memo information. This is because the same icon cannot be repeatedly added to the memo-written product, and the statistical data such as reputation for the product is accurate. However, also in this case, an icon may be added to the same memo information many times.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of the shopping list screen G1 in which the memo information is touch-operated. In FIG. 16, the memo information A26 of “product E1” specified by being touched by the customer is an inverted display A24, and the product is specified. Then, three types of icons A25 are pop-up displayed near the memo information A26 of “product E1”. The customer touches an arbitrary icon desired by the customer from these three types of icons. Then, the icon specified by touching is displayed in association with the memo A information 26 of “product E1” behind the memo information A26 of “product E1”.

  FIG. 17 shows an example in which icons are displayed in step S75. In the example of FIG. 17, a heart-shaped icon (an icon indicating expectation for a product) is selected, and the heart-shaped icon A28 is arranged (associated) behind the memo information A26 of “product E1”. Is displayed. Near this icon, statistical information A36 indicating the number of times an icon (in the embodiment, a heart-shaped icon) has been added to the product (in the embodiment, “product E1”) is displayed. This statistical information A36 is a numerical value indicating the degree of reputation and expectation of the product. In the embodiment, the icon has been added five times in the past. When other icons are also added to the same product, each icon is displayed and the number of times of addition is displayed in relation to each icon.

  Returning to the description of FIG. Next, the control part 21 (transmission means 218) transmits the display screen information displayed at step S53 to the center server 3 together with the customer ID of the customer terminal 2 (step S54).

  The control unit 31 of the center server 3 determines whether a customer ID and display screen information are received from the customer terminal 2 (step S61). Wait until receiving (No in step S61), and if it is determined that the customer ID and the display screen information have been received (Yes in step S61), the control unit 31 stores the shopping list management table T1 corresponding to the customer ID. Display screen information is stored in the record (step S62). Then, based on the icon information received at the same time, the control unit 31 adds +1 to the number of added icons stored in the statistical unit 351 in association with the product information. That is, the statistical unit 351 stores the number of icons added to the product information for each icon in association with the product. The ranking of products is created by statistics on the number of memo information, the number of purchases, and the number of added icons of products stored in the statistics unit 351.

  Thereafter, in the customer terminal 2 and the center server 3, the control unit 21 and the control unit 31 cooperate to synchronize purchase schedule information, additional information, and display screen information. For example, when one of the customer terminal 2 and the center server 3 updates any of the purchase schedule information, additional information, and display screen information, the updated content is reflected in the other device.

  When the control unit 31 of the center server 3 receives a customer ID notification from the customer terminal 2 when the customer terminal 2 is activated, the control unit 31 purchases purchase schedule information, additional information, and display screen information corresponding to the customer ID. The data is read from the list management table T1 and provided to the customer terminal 2. And the control part 21 of the customer terminal 2 compares each information (purchase schedule information, additional information, and display screen information) provided from the center server 3 with each information memorize | stored locally, and update date is more Update to a new one.

  Thereby, the customer can display the shopping list created by the customer on any customer terminal 2 by inputting the same customer ID. Therefore, for example, a shopping list can be created on a large customer terminal 2 such as a tablet, and the shopping list can be displayed on a portable small customer terminal 2, thereby improving convenience related to the use of the shopping list. Can do.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether the received display screen information is information that may be disclosed (step S63). When the customer first subscribes to the service of the shopping support system 1 or whenever the display screen information is transmitted from the customer terminal 2 to the center server 3 in step S54, may the display screen information to be transmitted be disclosed to others? The information of whether or not is added and transmitted. The control unit 31 refers to the information and determines whether to display the display screen information. If it is determined that the information can be disclosed (Yes in step S63), the control unit 31 stores the display screen information in the disclosure unit 352 (step S64). And the control part 31 complete | finishes a process. If it is determined not to disclose the display screen information (No in step S63), the control unit 31 ends the process without storing the display screen information in the disclosure unit 352.

  If the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 determines that the shopping list button B1 is not operated in step S11 (No in step S11), the control unit 21 then operates the take-in button B2. It is determined whether or not (step S16). If it is determined that the take-in button B2 has been operated (Yes in step S16), the control unit 21 executes an information take-in process described later with reference to FIG. 24 (step S17). And the control part 21 complete | finishes a process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the capture button B2 is not operated (No in step S16), the control unit 21 returns to step S11 and waits.

  According to such an embodiment, based on the memo information displayed on the customer terminal 2, an icon indicating the reputation and expectation of the customer can be added from the customer terminal 2. The added icon can be displayed on the customer terminal 2 in association with the memo information. Further, the input memo information and the added icon can be transmitted to the center server 3 and collected as statistical information. Further, based on the statistical information stored in the center server 3, statistical information indicating the number of past memo information and statistical information indicating the number of icons added in the past are displayed on the customer terminal 2 in correspondence with the product. Can be made.

  Next, shopping support processing performed at the store will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure of shopping support processing. As a premise of this processing, it is assumed that the customer who visits the store brings the customer terminal 2 holding his / her customer ID.

  First, the control unit 41 of the store server 4 acquires a customer ID from the customer terminal 2 of the customer who visited the store via a communication device (not shown) in the store connected to the store server 4 (step S81). Here, the type and installation position of the communication device are not particularly limited. For example, the customer ID may be acquired from the customer terminal 2 via a short-range communication device such as NFC provided at the entrance of a store or the entrance of a parking lot. Moreover, it is good also as a form which acquires customer ID from the customer terminal 2 via the access point which provides a public wireless LAN service etc. in a shop.

  The control unit 41 of the store server 4 acquires purchase schedule information related to the customer ID acquired by the control unit 41 (step S82). Here, the acquisition destination of the purchase schedule information may be the customer terminal 2 or the center server 3. For example, when acquiring from the customer terminal 2, it can acquire from the customer terminal 2 via the communication apparatus similar to the control part 41. FIG. Further, when acquiring from the center server 3, purchase schedule information corresponding to the customer ID acquired by the control unit 41 is acquired from the shopping list management table T 1 of the center server 3.

  Next, the control unit 41 of the store server 4 stores the acquired purchase schedule information in the purchased product management table T4 in association with the customer ID acquired by the control unit 41 and the current date and time (visit date and time) (step S83). ).

  The control unit 41 of the store server 4 generates in-store information including advertisement information for advertising a specific product, shopping support information for shopping support, and the like (step S84). And the control part 41 provides the produced | generated in-store information to the customer terminal 2 of customer ID which the control part 41 acquired (step S85). Specifically, the in-store information is provided (transmitted) to the customer terminal 2 via a communication device in the store connected to the store server 4.

  Here, the advertisement information and shopping support information provided to the customer terminal 2 may be generated based on the purchase schedule acquired by the control unit 41. For example, it is good also as a form which produces | generates the advertisement information which advertises each of the candidate goods contained in the purchase plan. Moreover, it is good also as a form which produces | generates the shopping assistance information which showed where each of the candidate goods included in the purchase plan is sold in the store. When generating such shopping support information, for example, the control unit 41 specifies the sales position of each candidate product included in the purchase schedule based on map information that records the sales position of each product sold in the store. And the control part 41 produces | generates the map information which recorded the sales position of candidate goods as shopping assistance information.

  Note that the information included in the in-store information is not limited to the above example. For example, when a privilege such as point grant is granted on the condition of visiting the store, an electronic coupon indicating the content of the privilege may be included in the store information and transmitted.

  When receiving the in-store information from the store server 4, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 displays the in-store information on the display unit 23 according to the operation of the operator (step S <b> 86). For example, when the shopping coupon information includes an electronic coupon that grants a privilege such as point grant when visiting the store, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 displays a privilege grant screen according to the content of the electronic coupon. Further, when shopping support information (map information) is included in the in-store information, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 displays a shopping support screen indicating the sales position of the candidate product according to a predetermined operation.

  Next, the merchandise sales data processing performed by the POS terminal 5 when purchasing merchandise will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure of merchandise sales data processing.

  First, the control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 acquires a customer ID, purchase schedule information, and additional information held in the customer terminal 2 (step S91). Here, the customer ID, purchase schedule information, and additional information acquisition method are not particularly limited. For example, it is good also as a form acquired directly from the customer terminal 2 using near field communication I / F57. Further, the customer ID acquired from the customer terminal 2 may be used as a search key, and purchase schedule information and additional information may be acquired from the purchased product management table T4.

  The control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 reads the product information (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product ID based on the product ID of the purchased product actually purchased, read by the code scanner 55, from the product management table. Obtained from T3 (step S92).

  The control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 determines whether or not the candidate product has been purchased by determining whether the product name of the purchased product acquired by the control unit 51 matches each candidate product included in the shopping list. Determination is made (step S93). When a product other than the candidate product is purchased (No in step S93), the control unit 51 registers the sales of the purchased product based on the product information acquired by the control unit 51 (step S96).

  If it is determined that the candidate product has been purchased (Yes in step S93), the control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 determines whether or not an electronic coupon provided from the store is added as additional information to the candidate product. Is determined (step S94). If it is determined that an electronic coupon has been added (Yes in step S94), the control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 registers the sales of the purchased product at a unit price to which the electronic coupon is applied (step S95). If no electronic coupon is added (No in step S94), the sales registration of the purchased product is performed at the normal unit price included in the product information (step S96).

  The control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 repeatedly executes steps S92 to S96 until the operator operates the tightening key (No in step S97). When the closing key is operated (Yes in step S97), the control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5 generates purchase history information indicating the breakdown of the transaction (step S98). Note that the purchase history information includes the product name, product ID, unit price, and the like of the purchased product.

  And the control part 51 of the POS terminal 5 produces | generates the electronic receipt information for displaying on the customer terminal 2 based on the produced | generated purchase history information (step S99). And the control part 51 transmits electronic rate information to the center server 3 (step S100). In addition, when transmitting electronic receipt information to the center server 3, a corresponding customer ID is added and transmitted.

  Thus, according to the product sales data processing, the electronic coupon provided from the store at the time of creating the shopping list can be applied when purchasing the candidate product. As a result, customers who purchase candidate products can enjoy the benefits that were notified at the time of creating the shopping list without being aware of the benefits, so they can prevent forgetting to use electronic coupons and Convenience can be improved.

  Next, various control processes related to electronic receipt information realized by the CPUs of the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 and the control unit 31 of the center server 3 executing various programs will be described with reference to FIGS. explain. When the customer terminal 2 and the center server 3 receive the electronic receipt information transmitted by the control unit 51 of the POS terminal 5, the customer terminal 2 and the center server 3 execute the control shown in FIG. That is, the control unit 31 of the center server 3 determines whether or not electronic receipt information has been received from the POS terminal 5 (step S111). If it is determined that it has been received (Yes in step S111), the control unit 31 stores the received electronic receipt information in the electronic receipt unit 353 (step S112). Subsequently, based on the stored electronic receipt information, the control unit 31 adds the number based on the product information received as the electronic receipt information this time to the statistical number of the corresponding product stored in the statistical unit 351, respectively. Information is updated (step S119).

  Next, the control part 31 judges whether the inquiry about the inquiry of an electronic receipt was received from the customer terminal 2 (step S113). If it is determined that it has been received (Yes in step S113), the control unit 31 sends the latest electronic receipt information corresponding to the customer ID to the customer terminal 2 based on the customer ID included in the received inquiry. Transmit (step S114).

  On the other hand, the control unit 21 of the customer terminal 2 determines whether or not there is an inquiry about an electronic receipt due to a customer operation (step S121), and if it is determined that there is an inquiry about an electronic receipt (Yes in step S121), The control part 21 transmits inquiry information toward the center server 3 (step S122). Next, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the electronic receipt information transmitted from the center server 3 in step S114 is received (step S123). If it is determined that the electronic receipt information is received (Yes in step S123), the control unit 21 displays the received electronic receipt information on the display unit 23 (step S124).

  In this state, when the customer touches and designates one piece of product information of the electronic receipt information displayed on the customer terminal 2, the product information is highlighted. The control unit 21 determines whether or not a product is specified by the customer (step S125). If it is determined that the product is designated (Yes in step S125), the control unit 21 obtains the product in the vicinity of the product information corresponding to the designated and highlighted product. A candidate for a mark (icon) indicating the evaluation or the like is displayed in a pop-up (step S126).

  FIG. 21 shows an example of display of electronic receipt information displayed in step S124, merchandise information A29 that is highlighted by a touch operation by the customer, and icon pop-up display A30. In the example of FIG. 21 displaying the pop-up, the product information of “product E1” is touch-operated and the product information A29 is highlighted. At the same time, three types of icons are displayed.

  The customer touches and operates an arbitrary icon desired by the customer from the pop-up icons. The control unit 21 determines whether one icon is designated by the customer (step S127). The control unit 21 waits until it is designated (No in step S127), and if it is determined that it is designated (Yes in step S127), the control unit 21 associates the designated icon with the product information and stores it in the icon storage unit 281. (Step S128). The control unit 21 additionally displays the stored icon in association with the product information on the display unit 23 (step S129). Next, the control unit 21 transmits the displayed display screen information to the center server 3 (step S130). And the control part 21 complete | finishes a process.

  FIG. 22 is a screen showing the electronic receipt information displayed in step S129. In FIG. 22, an icon indicating the evaluation of the product is additionally displayed corresponding to the product display of “product E1” immediately after the product display. In the example of FIG. 22, as a result of eating the product, an icon A31 that highly evaluates the product is added.

  Further, in the vicinity of the added icon, a number A36 in which the icon has been added to the product in the past is displayed in association with the icon. In the example of FIG. 22, a number “5” indicating that five heart icons have been added in the past is displayed.

  In the embodiment, the same icon can be added only once to one piece of product information displayed as electronic receipt information. This is because the same icon cannot be repeatedly added to one piece of product information, and statistical data such as evaluation on the product is made accurate. However, an icon may be added to the same product information many times.

  On the other hand, the control unit 31 of the center server 3 determines whether or not the display screen information transmitted in step S130 has been received (step S115). When determining that it has been received (Yes in step S115), the control unit 31 stores the received display screen information in the shopping list management table T1 (step S116). At this time, based on the icon information received in step S115, the statistical unit 351 increments the number of the icons stored in association with the product information. The ranking of products is created based on the number of posts of products and the number of statistics of icons stored in the statistics unit 351.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the display screen information stored in the shopping list management table T1 is information that may be disclosed (step S117). This determination is made based on publicly available information from the customer, similar to the determination in step S63. If it is determined that the information can be disclosed (Yes in step S117), the control unit 31 stores the display screen information in the disclosure unit 352 (step S118). And the control part 31 complete | finishes a process.

  If it is determined in step S111 that electronic receipt information has not been received from the POS terminal 5 (No in step S111), the control unit 31 executes the process in step S113 without executing the process in step S112. To do. In Step S113, when it is determined that the inquiry information of the electronic receipt is not received from the customer terminal 2 (No in Step S113), the control unit 31 executes Step S115 without processing Step S114. If it is determined in step S115 that display screen information has not been received from the customer terminal 2 (No in step S115), the control unit 31 executes step S117 without executing step S116. If it is determined in step S117 that the display screen information is not to be disclosed (No in step S117), the control unit 31 ends the process without executing step S118.

  If it is determined in step S121 that the inquiry is not an electronic receipt inquiry by the customer (No in step S121), the control unit 21 executes step S123 without executing step S122. If it is determined in step S123 that electronic receipt information has not been received (No in step S123), the control unit 21 executes step S125 without executing step S124. If it is determined in step S125 that the designation of the product by the customer has not been operated (No in step S125), the control unit 21 executes step S130 without executing steps S126 to S129.

  According to such an embodiment, the customer can see the display of the received electronic receipt information and add the customer's evaluation information as an icon for the product purchased by the customer. Further, the added icon can be displayed on the customer terminal 2 as a part of the electronic receipt information in association with the product information. Further, the added icon can be collected as statistical information in the center server 3. Further, based on the statistical information stored in the center server 3, the statistical information of the added icon can be displayed on the customer terminal 2 in correspondence with the product information displayed on the electronic receipt.

  Next, the candidate merchandise consumption process performed after the candidate merchandise is purchased will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for candidate merchandise consumption processing.

  First, when the control unit 41 of the store server 4 receives a customer ID and purchase history information from each POS terminal 5 in the store (step S141), the control unit 41 sets the set of the customer ID and purchase history information to the first of the center server 3. It stores in the purchase history management table T2 and the second purchase history management table T5 of its own device (step S142). In addition, when storing in the 1st purchase log | history management table T2 of the center server 3, store ID of the own store is added and stored.

  Next, the control unit 41 of the store server 4 sets the actually purchased candidate product among the candidate products included in the purchase schedule information as purchased (step S143). Specifically, the control unit 41 compares the purchased product included in the purchase history information stored by the control unit 41 with the candidate product included in the purchase schedule information in the purchased product management table T4 for the same customer ID. The control unit 41 sets the purchased information in the purchased product management table T4 to “purchased” for the candidate product that matches the product name (specific name, ordinary name) of the purchased product.
