Description

  The present invention relates to a settlement apparatus that performs settlement of a price for purchasing a sales target.

  Generally, when a user purchases a sales target such as a product at a store, the sales target may be taken home after settlement at a cash register, or the sales target can be delivered separately.

  However, in the conventional settlement apparatus, even when the purchase target is delivered separately, a process that is not particularly different from the case of bringing back the sales target is not performed (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). For this reason, for example, the user has performed troublesome procedures such as telling the store clerk that delivery is to be made separately, and entering the delivery destination, date and time, etc. on the slip. On the other hand, the store side required a large number of salesclerks.

  Each of the one or more terminals 2 (hereinafter may be simply referred to as “terminal 2”) receives input of information by a user or a store clerk, for example, and transmits the received information to the settlement apparatus 1. Further, the terminal 2 receives information from the settlement apparatus 1 and outputs the received information. The terminal 2 is, for example, a PC placed at a cash register of a store, a tablet terminal or smartphone carried by a store clerk, a smartphone or tablet terminal carried by a user, and the type or location thereof is not limited.

  For example, the payment server 3 receives information from the payment apparatus 1 and performs payment using a credit card, debit card, electronic money, or the like. The delivery server 4 receives information from the settlement apparatus 1 and performs processing related to delivery of purchase targets. The processing related to delivery is, for example, processing for transmitting information indicating a delivery destination, date and time of purchase to a tablet terminal or the like carried by the delivery person, but may be anything. The detection device 5 is a device that detects that the purchase target has moved out of the store or moved. The detection device 5 detects the movement of the purchase target outside the store using, for example, an RF tag or the like placed on the purchase target, but the detection method is not limited. Although the detection apparatus 5 is a gate provided at the exit of a store, for example, its type and location are not questioned.

  The settlement apparatus 1 includes a storage unit 11, a reception unit 12, a flag information acquisition unit 13, and a processing unit 14. The storage unit 11 includes a settlement information storage unit 111, a user information storage unit 112, and a target information storage unit 113. The processing unit 14 includes a settlement unit 141, a detection information acquisition unit 142, an error information output unit 143, and a page control unit 144.

  The storage unit 11 can store various types of information. The various types of information include, for example, payment information, user information, and target information described later. The storage unit 11 may also store a first HTML document for configuring a take-out web page, which will be described later, a second HTML document for configuring a separate delivery web page, and the like. Note that the data structures of the first HTML document and the second HTML document are the same as those of a general HTML document, and are well known, so the description thereof is omitted. The storage unit 11 may also store error information to be described later. The storage unit 11 may also store a pair of first information and an application identifier for identifying a take-away application, a pair of second information and an application identifier for identifying a separate delivery application, and the like. . The first information, the second information, the take-away application, and the separate delivery application will be described later.

  The payment information storage unit 111 stores one or more payment information. The settlement information is information related to the purchase target settlement, and is information associated with a target identifier for identifying the purchase target. The information regarding payment includes information indicating whether payment has been made. The fact that the information is associated includes the case where the payment information has a target identifier. The purchase target is a product or service purchased by the user. The goods are, for example, clothes such as clothes and shoes, furniture such as bookshelves and tables, and household appliances such as a television and a refrigerator, but the type is not limited. The service may be, for example, a service incidental to purchase of a product. The service incidental to the purchase of the product is, for example, delivery and assembly of the product, extended warranty of the product, etc., but the type is not limited. Further, the service may be an independent purchase target such as a trip or a lecture, and the type thereof is not limited. Hereinafter, these various services may be referred to as “products”.

  The target identifier is, for example, an ID such as a product number, information embedded in a code such as a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark), and the type thereof is not limited as long as it is information that can identify a purchase target. A code is a code that can be recognized by a computer. For example, the code is a code that expresses various types of information using one or more combinations of characters, symbols, and figures.

  The settlement information is, for example, information indicating that the settlement has been completed and the content of the settlement. The contents of the settlement are, for example, a target identifier, date, quantity, price, etc., but the data structure and contents are not limited. The payment information storage unit 111 may store a set of pairs of such payment information and flag information described later.

  The user information storage unit 112 stores one or more pieces of user information. User information is information relating to one user. The user information includes, for example, a user identifier and one or more user attribute values. The user identifier is, for example, a member number, an e-mail address, a telephone number, or the like, but may be anything as long as it can identify the user. The user attribute value is information indicating a user attribute value. The user attribute value is, for example, various sizes (clothing size, shoe size, etc.) suitable for the user, sex (male, female), etc., but may be anything. The user information may further include delivery destination information. The delivery destination information is information indicating a delivery destination to be purchased. The delivery destination information may be, for example, the user's own address or telephone number, or may be the address of a different person from the user, and the contents thereof are not limited.

  The target information storage unit 113 stores one or more pieces of target information. The target information is information related to one purchase target. The target information may be, for example, product information about products and service information about services. The one or more pieces of target information are, for example, a set of a set of a target identifier for identifying the purchase target, one or more target attribute values indicating the purchase target attribute, and inventory information indicating the purchase target stock. is there. The target attribute value includes, for example, the type of purchase target (clothes, shoes, etc.), the size (clothes size, shoe size, etc.), the target sex (for men, for women), and the like. The inventory information is information indicating the number of purchase objects existing in the store, and the number is a natural number of 0 or 1 or more. However, the stock information may be a flag indicating the presence / absence of stock (whether the number is 0 or 1 or more), and the data structure is not limited. The data structure and contents of the target information are not questioned.

  The reception unit 12 can receive various types of information. Receiving means receiving information input from an input device such as a keyboard, touch panel, microphone, camera, etc., receiving information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line or network, or a recording medium such as a disk or semiconductor memory This is a concept including reception of information read out from. The accepting unit 12 may accept various types of information via an input device included in the settlement apparatus 1 or may be received from the terminal 2, and the accepting mode is not limited.

  The receiving unit 12 receives the above-described target identifier. The receiving unit 12 may also receive the above-described user identifier. The receiving unit 12 may also receive an input instruction. The input instruction is an input instruction for payment for purchase. The input instruction may be, for example, an instruction for outputting a web page for inputting information for settlement. Alternatively, the input instruction may be, for example, an instruction to start an application that inputs information for settlement. The information for settlement is information indicating, for example, a target identifier for purchase, quantity, settlement method, delivery method, and the like. Payment methods are usually cash payment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “cash payment”), credit card payment (“card payment”), and cash on delivery (“cash payment”). For example, it may be anything such as transfer, settlement by electronic money or points. The delivery method is take-away or separate delivery. Take-away is a delivery method in which the user himself / herself takes the purchase target. Separate delivery is a delivery method in which a purchase target is transported to a delivery destination registered by a delivery company. For example, the web page has an input field for inputting information regarding the quantity to be purchased, the settlement method, and the like. The input instruction is performed by, for example, pressing a key on the keyboard, touching a virtual button on the display, reading a barcode, or inputting a voice, but the mode is not limited.

  The accepting unit 12 usually accepts information for settlement as described above. The accepting unit 12 is, for example, information input on the web page, and may accept information for settlement. The accepting unit 12 may accept flag information described below.

  The flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires flag information. The flag information is information on a flag associated with the target identifier. The flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13 is either first information indicating that the user takes back the purchase target from the store, or second information indicating that the user separately delivers the purchase target. . For example, the flag information may be information acquired by reading one of the two codes arranged in the purchase target by the receiving unit 12. Arrangement is, for example, attachment to the surface of a product, printing on a brochure or list of products, and the like is not limited.

  The two codes may be, for example, two barcodes arranged for one purchase target or two dedicated codes. The two barcodes are, for example, a first barcode indicating “take-away” in addition to a product number, and a second barcode indicating “separate delivery” in addition to the product number. The two dedicated codes are, for example, a first dedicated code indicating “take-away” and a second dedicated code indicating “separate delivery”. The dedicated code may be composed of two or more bars like the barcode, or may be composed of one or more characters or character strings, or one or more of characters, symbols, and figures. May be expressed in combination. However, the two codes may be anything as long as they can indicate the first information or the second information.

  The flag information acquisition unit 13 can automatically acquire flag information. Specifically, for example, when there is no user identifier corresponding to the target identifier received by the reception unit 12, the flag information acquisition unit 13 may acquire flag information that is first information. The absence of the user identifier usually means that the user is not managed by the user. The flag information acquisition unit 13 may determine whether or not the user is managed by the user, for example, based on whether or not a user identifier for identifying the user exists in the user information storage unit 112. Alternatively, the flag information acquisition unit 13 determines whether or not the delivery destination information corresponding to the user identifier exists using one or more user information stored in the user information storage unit 112, and When it is determined that there is no delivery destination information corresponding to the user identifier, flag information that is first information may be acquired.

  Alternatively, for example, the flag information acquisition unit 13 obtains one or more user attribute values paired with the user identifier received by the reception unit 12 and one or more target attribute values paired with the target identifier received by the reception unit 12. In contrast, for example, whether or not there is a purchase target stock that matches the user identified by the user identifier is determined using the stock information stored in the storage unit 11, and when it is determined that there is no stock, You may acquire the flag information which is 2nd information.

  When it is determined that the user identifier exists, or when it is determined that there is stock, the flag information acquisition unit 13 may acquire the first or second information, for example, by the user's selection.

  Further, for example, the reception unit 12 may receive the flag information as described above with a keyboard or the like, or read with a scanner or the like. In that case, the flag information acquisition unit 13 may acquire the flag information received by the reception unit 12.

  The processing unit 14 performs a settlement process, which will be described later, and other various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes such as acquisition of detection information, output of error information, and page control, which will be described later, but are not limited thereto. For example, various determinations such as whether or not the reception unit 12 has received the target identifier may be performed by the processing unit 14.

  The processing unit 14 can perform different processes related to settlement depending on whether the flag information is the first information or the second information. The different processing is, for example, processing in which one or more of the contents or procedures are different at least partially. Processing related to payment includes, for example, payment processing, error information output processing, page control, and the like. The processing unit 14 may perform, for example, different settlement processing, different error information output processing, or different depending on whether the flag information is the first information or the second information. You may perform page control and may start a different application. The different payment processing includes, for example, a case where payment methods or timings are different, such as card payment and cash on delivery, and a case where delivery charges are different such as free and paid, but are not limited thereto. The different error information output processing is, for example, when the content of the information is different, such as a buzzer sound for notifying the occurrence of an error, and a warning message indicating even the content of the error and the countermeasure, etc. Although the case where the output destination of information is different, such as the terminal 2 and the terminal 2 arranged in the security room, is included, it is not limited thereto. Different page controls include, for example, output of web pages with different contents, information amount, layout, and the like, but are not limited thereto. Starting a different application means, for example, starting a take-away application when the flag information is the first information, and starting a separate delivery application when the flag information is the second information. Including, but not limited to.

  Specifically, the settlement unit 141 constituting the processing unit 14 performs processing related to settlement of a price for purchasing a sales target. The settlement means 141 can usually perform settlement by the various settlement methods described above. For example, the settlement unit 141 may perform cash settlement and acquire the settlement information as described above. Alternatively, the settlement unit 141 may perform card settlement. In this case, the payment means 141 may transmit information necessary for card payment such as a price, a card number, and a name to the payment server 3 of the card company and receive payment information from the payment server 3. For example, the payment server 3 performs card payment using information received from the payment apparatus 1, acquires payment information, and transmits the payment information to the payment apparatus 1. However, the payment apparatus 1 may perform the card payment by itself, and the card payment method is not limited. Alternatively, the settlement unit 141 may perform cash on delivery settlement. In this case, the settlement means 141 transmits, for example, information necessary for cash on delivery such as the price, delivery destination (address / name / phone number, etc.), date and time to the delivery server 4 of the shipping company to obtain settlement information. It doesn't matter.

  Further, the settlement unit 141 may accumulate the settlement information acquired as described above in the storage unit 11 in a pair with flag information associated with the target identifier of the sale target. As a result, the storage unit 11 stores a set of the above-described pairs of payment information and flag information, and the payment unit 141 and the like can refer to the storage unit 11 to make one or more payments completed. It can be determined whether the delivery method for each purchase is take-away or separate delivery.

  That is, for example, when the flag information is the second information, the settlement unit 141 can perform the cash on delivery settlement, but does not perform the cash on delivery settlement when the flag information is the first information. Therefore, for example, when the flag information is the second information, the settlement means 141 can transmit information for performing the cash on delivery settlement to the delivery server 4, but when the flag information is the first information, , Never send such information.

  Further, for example, when the flag information is the first information, the settlement unit 141 can perform the card settlement, but does not perform the card settlement when the flag information is the second information. Therefore, for example, when the flag information is the first information, the settlement means 141 can transmit information for performing card settlement and receive the settlement information, but the flag information is the second information. Does not send or receive such information. Further, for example, when the flag information is the first information, the settlement unit 141 settles the price without adding the delivery fee, but adds the delivery fee when the flag information is the second information. You may settle the price.

  Further, for example, the settlement unit 141 may read an application identifier corresponding to the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13 from the storage unit 11 and execute the application identified by the application identifier. That is, when the flag information is the first information, the settlement means 141 activates the take-out application corresponding to the first information, while when the flag information is the second information, A corresponding separate delivery application may be activated. The take-out application is an application that performs processing related to payment, and is an application that is executed when the user takes back the purchase target. The separate delivery application is an application that performs processing related to payment, and is an application that is executed when the user separately delivers a purchase target. The processing of the take-out application corresponds to, for example, the operation when the flag information is the first information among the operations of the settlement means 141 described above, but is not limited thereto. The processing of the application for separate delivery corresponds to, for example, the operation when the flag information is the second information among the operations of the settlement means 141 described above, but is not limited thereto.

  The detection information acquisition unit 142 acquires detection information. The detection information is information indicating that the purchase target has moved out of the store or moved. The detection information usually has a target identifier for identifying the purchase target. However, the data structure of detection information does not matter. Further, the detection information acquisition unit 142 normally receives such detection information from the detection device 5. However, the detection apparatus 5 may acquire detection information using the image from the surveillance camera installed near the exit of a store, for example, and the method of acquiring detection information is not ask | required.

  The error information output unit 143 outputs error information. The output is a concept including display on a display, sound output from a speaker, transmission to an external device, accumulation in a recording medium, delivery of a processing result to another processing device or another program, and the like. The error information output unit 143 normally acquires error information from the storage unit 11, but may acquire the error information from an external device (for example, a store server), and the acquisition destination of the error information does not matter. Further, the error information output unit 143 may output the acquired error information via, for example, an output device included in the settlement apparatus 1 or may transmit it to the terminal 2.

  The error information is information indicating an error. The information indicating the error may be information simply indicating the occurrence of the error, but is preferably information indicating the content of the error that has occurred and how to deal with the error. Output of error information includes, for example, output of a buzzer sound from a speaker, display of error information on a display (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “error display”), an external device of error information (for example, an alarm device (not shown)) Etc.), or a combination of two or more of these.

  The error information output unit 143 is a case where the detection information acquisition unit 142 has acquired the detection information, and the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is the second information or the target identifier corresponding to the detection information If there is no payment information corresponding to the payment information storage unit 111, error information is acquired from the storage unit 11 and output.

  The error information output by the error information output unit 143 includes the case where the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the acquired detection information is the second information and the settlement information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the acquired detection information. May not be present in the settlement information storage unit 111. Specifically, for example, the first error information and the second error information are stored in the storage unit 11. The first error information is information notifying that the purchase target has not been settled yet and is moved out of the store. The second error information is information that informs the movement of the purchase target to be delivered separately to the outside of the store. When the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is the second information, the error information output unit 143 acquires the second error information from the storage unit 11 and outputs the second error information. On the other hand, when the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the detection information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, the error information output unit 143 acquires and outputs the first error information from the storage unit 11. Also good.

  The timing at which the error information output unit 143 outputs the error information includes the case where the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the acquired detection information is the second information and the target identifier corresponding to the acquired detection information. The corresponding payment information may be different from the case where the payment information storage unit 111 does not exist. Specifically, for example, when the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the acquired detection information is the second information, the error information output unit 143 determines whether the detection information acquisition unit 142 has acquired the detection information. Information (for example, the second error information) is output immediately. On the other hand, when the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the acquired detection information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, error information (for example, the first information described above) is acquired after the detection information acquisition unit 142 acquires the detection information. Error information) may be output in a timely manner, for example, not only when the gate passes but also when the parking fee is settled. However, the output timing of the error information may be the same in the two cases, and may be output immediately, for example.

  The error information output destination may also be different in the two cases. Specifically, when the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the acquired detection information is the second information, the error information output unit 143 sends error information (for example, the second error information described above) to the terminal 2 held by the user. ). On the other hand, when the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the acquired detection information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, the error information output unit 143 sends error information (for example, the above-described information) to the terminal 2 arranged in the security room. First error information) may be transmitted. However, the output destination of the error information may be the same in the two cases, and may be transmitted to, for example, the terminal 2 arranged near the exit.

  In addition, when the detection information acquisition means 142 does not acquire detection information, or when the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is first information, or corresponds to the target identifier corresponding to the detection information. When the payment information exists in the payment information storage unit 111, the error information output unit 143 does not output the error information.

  The page control unit 144 performs processing related to control of the web page. The process related to the control of the web page is, for example, a process of configuring a web page using an HTML document stored in the storage unit 11 or a process of outputting the configured web page, but is not limited thereto. The process of outputting the web page may be a process of displaying the web page on the display of the settlement apparatus 1, a process of transmitting the web page to the terminal 2, or a process of transmitting the URL of the web page to the terminal 2. I do not care.

  For example, when the receiving unit 12 receives an input instruction, the page control unit 144 is configured to use different webs depending on whether the flag information corresponding to the target identifier received by the receiving unit 12 is the first information or the second information. Perform processing to output the page.

  Specifically, for example, when the flag information is the first information, the page control unit 144 configures and outputs a take-out web page using the first HTML document stored in the storage unit 11. To do. On the other hand, when the flag information is the second information, the page control unit 144 may configure and output a separate delivery web page using the second HTML document stored in the storage unit 11. . For example, the take-away web page and the separate delivery web page have input fields such as a delivery destination and date / time in the latter, but may differ from each other in that the former does not have them. In addition, the take-away web page and the separate delivery web page are, for example, the former includes card settlement as one of the settlement method options and an input field such as a credit card number. May differ in that they are not.

  The storage unit 11, the payment information storage unit 111, the user information storage unit 112, and the target information storage unit 113 are preferably non-volatile recording media such as a hard disk, but can also be realized as a volatile recording medium such as a RAM. It is.

  The process in which various information is memorize | stored in the storage part 11 grade | etc., Does not ask | require. For example, information may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like via a removable recording medium such as a DVD or a memory card, and information transmitted via a network, a communication line, or the like may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like. May be stored, or information input via the input device may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like. The input device may be anything such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, microphone, or camera.

  The receiving unit 12 can be realized by a device driver of such input means, or by an input device and its device driver. When the input device includes a microphone, the reception unit 12 needs to have a voice recognition function. When the input device includes a camera, the reception unit 12 needs to have an OCR function.

  (Step S201) The processing unit 14 determines whether the receiving unit 12 has received a target identifier. If the accepting unit 12 accepts the target identifier, the process proceeds to step S202. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S209.

  (Step S202) The flag information acquisition unit 13 executes a flag information acquisition process that is a process of acquiring flag information. The flag information acquisition process will be described with reference to FIG.

  (Step S203) The processing unit 14 determines whether or not the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13 is first information. If the acquired flag information is the first information, the process proceeds to step S204. If the acquired flag information is not the first information, the flag information is regarded as the second information and the process proceeds to step S205.

  (Step S204) The page control means 144 outputs a take-away web page using, for example, a first HTML document stored in the storage unit 11. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S206.

  (Step S205) The page control means 144 outputs a web page for delivery separately using, for example, a second HTML document stored in the storage unit 11.

  (Step S206) The processing unit 14 determines whether the receiving unit 12 has received information for payment. If the accepting unit 12 accepts information for settlement, the process proceeds to step S207. If not accepted, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S207) The settlement means 141 performs settlement of the price for purchasing the sales target, and acquires settlement information. Since the specific payment method and payment information have been described above, they will not be repeated. Further, the settlement means 141 does not repeat because the processing related to different settlements can be performed depending on whether the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13 is the first information or the second information. .

  (Step S208) The settlement unit 141 receives the settlement information that is the received target identifier and the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13, and matches the flag information associated with the target identifier of the sales target. In the storage unit 11. Thereafter, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S209) The processing unit 14 determines whether or not the detection information acquisition unit 142 has acquired detection information. If the detection information acquisition unit 142 has acquired the detection information, the process proceeds to step S210, and if not, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S210) The processing unit 14 determines whether the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is second information. If the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is the second information, the process proceeds to step S212. If the flag information is not the second information, the first information is regarded as the first information, and the process proceeds to step S211.

  (Step S211) The processing unit 14 determines whether or not the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the detection information exists in the payment information storage unit 111. If the payment information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, the process proceeds to step S212, and if it exists, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S212) The error information output means 143 outputs error information via an output device such as a display or a speaker. As a result, for example, a buzzer sound is output from a speaker, or an error is displayed on the display. Thereafter, the process returns to step S201.

  Note that the process according to the flowchart of FIG. 2 starts, for example, when the payment apparatus 1 is turned on, and ends when the payment apparatus 1 is turned off or an interruption of an end process is performed. However, the trigger for starting or ending the process does not matter.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the next step S202a may be added after step S202.

  (Step S202a) The processing unit 14 determines whether or not the receiving unit 12 has also received an input instruction. If the accepting unit 12 accepts an input instruction, the process proceeds to step S203. If not accepted, the process returns to step S201.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining flag information acquisition processing.

  (Step S301) The flag information acquisition unit 13 determines whether the reception unit 12 has also received flag information. If the accepting unit 12 also accepts flag information, the process proceeds to step S302. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S303.

  (Step S302) The flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires the flag information received by the reception unit 12. Thereby, when the reception unit 12 receives the flag information that is the first information, the flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires the flag information that is the first information, and the reception unit 12 receives the flag information that is the second information. When the flag information is received, the flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires the flag information that is the second information. Thereafter, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S303) The flag information acquisition unit 13 determines whether the reception unit 12 has also received a user identifier. If the accepting unit 12 also accepts a user identifier, the process proceeds to step S304. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S306.

  (Step S304) The flag information acquisition unit 13 uses, for example, one or more user information stored in the user information storage unit 112 to determine whether there is a user identifier corresponding to the target identifier received by the reception unit 12. To determine. Since the specific determination procedure has been described above, it will not be repeated. If there is a user identifier corresponding to the target identifier received by the receiving unit 12, the process proceeds to step S305, and if not, the process proceeds to step 307.

  (Step S305) The flag information acquisition unit 13 uses, for example, one or more pieces of target information stored in the target information storage unit 113 to determine whether or not there is a purchase target inventory that matches the target identifier received by the reception unit 12. To determine. The specific determination procedure has been described above and will not be repeated. If there is a purchase target inventory that matches the target identifier received by the reception unit 12, the process proceeds to step S306, and if there is no inventory, the process proceeds to step S308.

  (Step S306) The flag information acquisition unit 13 determines whether or not a code corresponding to “separate delivery” has been read by the reception unit 12, for example. Since the detailed determination procedure has been described above, it will not be repeated. If the code corresponding to “separate delivery” has been read, the process proceeds to step S308. If the code corresponding to “separate delivery” has not been read, the process proceeds to step S307. In addition, when the code corresponding to “separate delivery” is not read, for example, when the code corresponding to “take-away” is read or time-out occurs without reading either of these two codes. Cases are also included.

  (Step S307) The flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires flag information that is first information. Thereafter, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S308) The flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires flag information that is second information. Thereafter, the process returns to the upper process.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation example of the information system in the present embodiment will be described. In addition, the following description is an illustration, does not limit this invention, and it cannot be overemphasized that various changes are possible. In addition, the explanation regarding the matters already described is simplified or omitted as appropriate.

  A block diagram of the information system is shown in FIG. In this example, the settlement apparatus 1 is a store server that handles commodities such as clothes and shoes, and one or more terminals 2 (hereinafter “terminal 2”) are, for example, PCs or tablets placed at cash registers in the store. It is a terminal. The terminal 2 may be a PC or tablet terminal arranged in a security room, a tablet terminal held by a user, a smartphone, or the like. Some cash registers in the store may be self-service cash registers. The self-service cash register is a cash register in which there is no store clerk and the user himself / herself operates the terminal 2 for payment. The settlement server 3 is a card company server. The delivery server is a shipping company server.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a product. Two stickers are attached to the surface of the product. On one of the two stickers attached to one product, a bar code is placed in a pair with a character string or mark indicating “takeaway”, and on the other side, a character code or mark indicating “separate delivery” is paired. The bar coat is arranged in the. For example, the bar code on both stickers represents information such as the product number, size, and price of the product. However, the bar code paired with “Takeaway” further represents flag information indicating the first information, and the bar code paired with “separate delivery” further represents the flag information indicating the second information. . In addition, it is desirable that an RF tag is also disposed on the product.

  The storage unit 11 of the settlement apparatus 1 stores a first HTML document for configuring a take-away web page, a second HTML document for configuring a separate delivery web page, and the like.

  FIG. 5 is a data structure diagram of settlement information. The payment information storage unit 111 stores one or more payment information. The one or more payment information is, for example, a set of a pair of a target identifier that identifies a purchase target and payment information that is information related to the payment of the purchase target. Purchase objects are goods, such as clothes and shoes, for example. In this example, the target identifier is the product number of the product. The product number may also include information on size (No. 9, No. 10,..., S, M, L,...). The payment information includes, for example, information indicating the content of payment in addition to information indicating the state of payment. The settlement state is, for example, either “settled” indicating that the settlement is completed or “unsettled” indicating that the settlement is not completed. The contents of the settlement are, for example, a settlement method, date / time, price, and the like. The set of pairs of the target identifier and the settlement information includes, for example, the target identifier “111-aaa-9” and the settlement information “settled”, “cash”, “○ month ○ day 10: 8”, and “¥ 5, 000 ”, target identifier“ 222-bbb-M ”and payment information“ settled ”,“ card ”“ ○ month ○ date 10:10 ”and amount“ ¥ 10,000 ”, etc. It is. However, the data structure and contents of the payment information are not limited. The payment information storage unit 111 may store a set of a pair of the target identifier and the payment information and flag information described later.

  FIG. 6 is a data structure diagram of user information. The user information storage unit 112 stores one or more pieces of user information. The one or more user information is, for example, a set of a set of a user identifier for identifying the user and one or more user attribute values corresponding to the user. The one or more user attribute values are, for example, the size of clothes suitable for the user, the size of shoes, gender (male or female), and the like. When the user registers the delivery destination information, the user information corresponding to the user further includes the registered delivery destination information (address, etc.). The set of sets of user identifiers and user attribute values is, for example, a user identifier “123 @ abc...” And one or more user attribute values “9”, “23 cm”, “female” and “Chuo-ku, Osaka City”. , A user identifier “090- ◯◯◯...” And one or more user attribute values “M”, “26 cm”, “male” and “−”, etc. Note that “-” indicates, for example, that delivery destination information is not registered. However, the data structure and contents of user information are not limited.

  FIG. 7 is a data structure diagram of the target information. The target information storage unit 113 stores one or more pieces of target information. The one or more purchase target information is, for example, a set of a set of a target identifier for identifying the purchase target and one or more target attribute values indicating the attribute of the purchase target. The one or more target attribute values include, for example, the type of purchase target (clothes, shoes, etc.), size (clothes size, shoe size, etc.), target sex (for men, for women), and the like. A set of a set of a target identifier, one or more target attribute values and inventory information includes, for example, a target identifier “111-aaa-9” and one or more target attribute values “clothes”, “for women”, and “No. 9”. "And inventory information" 2 ", a target identifier" 111-aaa-10 "and one or more target attribute values" clothes "," for women "and" No. 10 "and inventory information" 0 " ... and so on.

  When a user who visits a store finds a desired product, he / she brings the product to a cash register for payment of the price of the product. When the take-in destination is a normal cash register, the user hands over the merchandise to the cashier clerk and reports whether the merchandise is to be taken home or delivered separately. The store clerk holds the barcode corresponding to the delivery method declared by the user among the two barcodes arranged on the received product, for example, over the scanner connected to the terminal 2. When the check-in destination is a self-service cash register, the user holds the barcode corresponding to “take-away” over the scanner when taking the product home, and the barcode corresponding to “separate delivery” when delivering the product separately. Hold it over the scanner. When this bar code is read by the scanner, the read information is transmitted from the terminal 2 to the settlement apparatus 1. When the reception unit 12 of the settlement apparatus 1 receives the information transmitted from the terminal 2, the processing unit 14 determines that the reception unit 12 has received the target identifier and also the flag information, and the flag information acquisition unit 13 12 to obtain flag information. Thus, the flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires the flag information that is the first information when the barcode corresponding to “take-away” is read, while the barcode corresponding to “separate delivery” is read. Can acquire flag information as second information.

  A user who is a member of a store has a member card storing information such as a user identifier, and may present the member card to the store clerk when making a payment at a normal cash register. The store clerk inserts the presented membership card into a reader connected to the terminal 2, for example. In the self-service cash register, the user himself / herself only has to insert the membership card into the reader. When the information of the membership card is read by the reader, at least the user identifier of the read information is transmitted to the payment apparatus 1, and the receiving unit 12 of the payment apparatus 1 receives the user identifier from the terminal 2.

  When the flag information acquisition unit 13 acquires the flag information and the user identifier in this way, the processing unit 14 determines whether or not the reception unit 12 has also received an input instruction.

  In a normal cash register, a store clerk issues an input instruction via the input device of the terminal 2 in order to output a web page for inputting information for settlement. At the self-service cash register, the user himself / herself may give such an input instruction. When the reception unit 12 also receives such an input instruction, the processing unit 14 determines whether or not the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13 is the first information. When the acquired flag information is the first information, the page control unit 144 configures a take-out web page using, for example, the first HTML document stored in the storage unit 11, and the configured take-out The web page or its URL is transmitted to the terminal 2. When the acquired flag information is not the first information, the page control unit 144 configures a separate delivery web page using, for example, a second HTML document stored in the storage unit 11, and the configured separate delivery. The web page or its URL is transmitted to the terminal 2.

  When a take-away or separate delivery web page is displayed on the terminal 2 display, in the case of a normal cash register, a store clerk inputs information for payment via the input device of the terminal 2 on behalf of the user. To do. In the case of a self-service cash register, the user himself / herself only has to input such information.

  When the accepting unit 12 accepts information for settlement, the settlement unit 141 performs settlement of the price for purchasing the sales target, and acquires settlement information. The settlement unit 141 accumulates the settlement information acquired in this manner in the storage unit 11 in a pair with the flag information associated with the target identifier of the sale target, which is the flag information acquired by the flag information acquisition unit 13.

  When the user tries to leave the store with a product, the detection device 5 detects the user's movement outside the store using an RF tag or the like placed on the product, and transmits the detection information to the settlement device 1.

  The processing unit 14 also determines whether or not the detection information acquisition unit 142 has acquired detection information. When the detection information acquisition unit 142 acquires the detection information, the processing unit 14 further determines whether or not the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is the second information. When the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is the second information, the error information output unit 143 outputs the error information via an output device such as a display or a speaker. As a result, when the user leaves or is about to leave with a separately delivered product, for example, a chime sound is output from the speaker at the gate, or the display of the terminal 2 owned by the user is separately provided. A warning that the product to be delivered is to be taken out is warned, and an error message is displayed to guide the user to bring the product to a window for accepting delivery separately.

  When the flag information corresponding to the target identifier included in the detection information is not the second information, the processing unit 14 determines whether or not the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the detection information exists in the payment information storage unit 111. Further discriminate. Even when the payment information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, the error information output unit 143 outputs the error information via an output device such as a display or a speaker. As a result, even when the user is trying to take out an unsettled product, a buzzer sound is output from the speaker or an error is displayed on the display. However, the contents of error information and the output destination in this case are different from the case of taking out separately delivered products. As a result, when the user leaves or is leaving the store with unsettled goods, for example, a buzzer sound is output from the speaker at the gate, or the display of the terminal 2 arranged in the security room. A warning is displayed that an unsettled product is about to be taken out, and an error message is displayed to guide the security guard to respond at the exit.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, one or more pieces of payment information, which is information related to payment for a purchase target that is a product or service purchased by a user, is information associated with a target identifier for identifying the purchase target. Information that is stored in the storage unit 111, receives the target identifier, and is the first information indicating that the user takes back the purchase target from the store or the second information indicating that the purchase target is separately delivered, and is associated with the target identifier When the user purchases a sales target at a store by the payment apparatus 1 that performs different payment processing depending on whether the flag information is the first information or the second information. Appropriate processing can be performed according to the delivery method, such as whether to take the object home or deliver the sales object separately. As a result, for example, the user is saved from troublesome procedures, and the store side can reduce the number of personnel.

  Moreover, in the payment apparatus 1, it is information indicating that the purchase object has been moved outside the store, and detection information that is information having a target identifier is acquired, and detection information is acquired. When the flag information corresponding to the identifier is the second information, or when the payment information corresponding to the target identifier corresponding to the detection information does not exist in the payment information storage unit 111, the user can output error information indicating an error to When purchasing a sales target in a store, it is possible to appropriately prevent a user from taking the sales target out of the store illegally.

  Further, in the settlement apparatus 1, by automatically acquiring flag information, it is possible to automatically acquire a delivery method for taking back a sales target or delivering it separately.

  In the payment apparatus 1, the flag information is information acquired by reading one of the two codes arranged in the purchase target, so that the sales target can be taken home or delivered separately. It is possible to automatically obtain the delivery method.

  Further, in the payment apparatus 1, when a user identifier for identifying a user is also received, and when a target identifier is received, if a user identifier corresponding to the target identifier does not exist, flag information that is first information is acquired. , It is possible to automatically acquire a delivery method of taking back a sales object or delivering it separately.

  The payment apparatus 1 also accepts a user identifier, and user information having a user identifier and one or more user attribute values indicating user attributes is stored in the user information storage unit 112 to identify a purchase target. And target information having one or more target attribute values indicating purchase target attributes are stored in the target information storage unit 113, and are paired with one or more user attribute values paired with the received user identifier. Is compared with one or more target attribute values to determine whether there is a purchase target stock suitable for the user identified by the user identifier, and if it is determined that there is no stock, a flag that is second information By acquiring information, it is possible to automatically acquire a delivery method of whether to take back the sales object or deliver it separately.

  The payment apparatus 1 also accepts an input instruction, which is an input instruction for payment for purchase, and accepts the input instruction. When the flag information corresponding to the accepted object identifier is the first information, Appropriate web for inputting information using the delivery method of taking back the sales target or delivering the sales target separately by performing processing to output different web pages depending on the case of two information The page can be output.
