Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to an information processing device and a program.

  With the spread of networks in recent years, a sales method (EC: Electronic Commerce) for selling products via the Internet is actively performed. In addition, also in stores such as supermarkets, a so-called net supermarket selling method is performed in which products sold in the stores are sold via the Internet.

  Conventionally, a web page of an online supermarket is provided with a search function for performing product search using a keyword related to a product. That is, for example, the Web page is provided with an input field for inputting a search keyword, and a search button for determining the input search keyword and starting a search process. When a keyword is input in the input field and the search button is selected by the operation on the customer terminal, the net super server providing the web page of the net super refers to the product master and starts the search processing, and the search result Output to a web page.

  In the conventional online super web page, the search process is not started unless the search keyword is determined as described above, and the search result is not displayed at all. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult for a customer who is not familiar with search to search for a product and it takes time and effort. In particular, the search operation was difficult for the customer who did not know what keyword to enter. As described above, conventionally, it has been desired to improve the convenience of product search in the web page of the online supermarket.

The input column display means displays an input column for inputting a word / phrase for searching for a product on the Web page of the online supermarket selling the product sold in the store. The search start instruction accepting means determines the word input in the input field as a search word to be used for the search, and receives a search start instruction for starting the search process. The search means is a product master of the store of the delivery source, and refers to a product master that stores product information of products handled in the online supermarket classified by category and stored in the product master The search process is performed on the search term for which the search start instruction has been received, with the selected product information as the search target. The commodity name candidate display means extracts the commodity name of the commodity having the text inputted in the input field as a part of the commodity information from the commodity master prior to the search start instruction, and performs the search process As candidates for the product name to be performed, they are arranged and displayed below the input field. The category display means displays the product name candidates grouped by category on the basis of the product master, and displays the product name candidate with the category name attached. The search term accepting means accepts the selection of a product name candidate to be searched from the product name candidates. The search means performs the search process based on the product name candidate received by the search term reception means.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a net super system 100 according to the present embodiment. In the net super system 100, the net super server 6 is a web server that provides a net super web site. The store server 4 is a server device provided in a store (for example, stores a to c) in charge of delivering a product ordered in a net supermarket. The POS terminal 1 is a sales data processing device that registers sales data in the store or the net supermarket in the same store. The headquarters server 9 is a server that controls sales, inventory management, and the like at a plurality of stores. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which a plurality of POS terminals 1 are connected to the store server 4 and used, the number of POS terminals 1 used in the store is not particularly limited, and may be one. Good. Note that, in the following, similar configurations shown in a plurality of drawings may be denoted by the same reference numerals, and overlapping descriptions may be omitted.

  First, the method of selling goods in the online supermarket will be schematically described. The customer accesses the Web site provided by the net super server 6 using the customer terminal 10, and places an order for a product. In response to the order received from the customer terminal 10, the internet super server 6 generates specification data indicating the details of the order for each customer. The net super server 6 transmits the specification data to the store server 4 connected by the dedicated line 8. The store performs picking operation, packing operation and delivery of goods based on the received item data. Further, at the store, sales registration of the product is performed using the store server 4 or the POS terminal 1. The store server 4 transmits specification data to the head office server 9 as sales data in this store, and the head office server 9 performs sales management and the like for the entire chain store based on the sales data sent from a plurality of stores.

  Next, the functional configuration of each device constituting the network super system 100 will be described. First, the shop server 4 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the shop server 4. The store server 4 includes a control unit 41 having a computer configuration including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. Further, a keyboard 45, a display 46, a printer 47 and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 48 are connected to the control unit 41 via the bus 42 and the I / O device control unit 44.

  The control unit 41 performs data communication with the head office server 9 or the net super server 6 through the communication interface 432 and the dedicated line 8. The control unit 41 also performs data communication with a plurality of POS terminals 1 via the communication interface 431 and the LAN 3. In addition to various control programs for operating the CPU of the control unit 41, the HDD 48 stores a product master 481, a store sales file 482, and the like.

  The product master 481 is a file for storing product information on the products sold by the store being handled by the online supermarket. FIGS. 3-1 and 3-2 are diagrams showing an example of the data configuration of the product master 481. As illustrated in FIG. 3-1, in the product master 481, the product code, product name, product category (eg, large category, small category, etc.), manufacturer, price, and the product are searched on the website The search keyword etc. which are used when doing are stored.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the store sales file 482 is a file for storing sales data at the store. The store server 4 registers sales data transmitted from the POS terminal 1 in the store sales file 482 for transactions in an actual store. Further, the store server 4 registers the sales in the net supermarket in the store sales file 482 using the specification data transmitted from the net super server 6 for the transactions in the net supermarket. The sales registration for the online supermarket may be performed by the POS terminal 1 as in the case of sales registration at a store.

  Although the control unit 41 of the store server 4 generates the sales data here, the server in charge of the generation is not particularly limited. For example, the control unit 61 of the net super server 6 may generate sales data and store the sales data in the HDD 48 of the store server 4 for sales in the net supermarket.

  Next, the net super server 6 will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the network super server 6. As shown in FIG. The network super server 6 includes a control unit 61 having a computer configuration including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. Further, a keyboard 65, a display 66, a printer 67 and an HDD 68 are connected to the control unit 61 via the bus 62 and the I / O device control unit 64.

The control unit 61 further performs data communication with the customer terminal 10 or the POS terminal 1 via the communication I / F 632 and the Internet 5.

  The HDD 68 stores various programs for operating the network super server 6 as a network super order system in cooperation with the CPU of the control unit 61. In the HDD 68, a member master 681 and a specification data DB (database) 682 are stored. The member master 681 stores member information such as a member name, an address, a telephone number, the number of points, information on a store used as a product delivery source, and the like as information on a member of the net supermarket. The specification data DB 682 stores specification data generated by the control unit 61 regarding the ordered product.

  The control unit 61 acquires the product information such as the product name and unit price of the product to be sold in the net supermarket among the products provided by the store from the product master 481 of the store server 4 and stores the product information Publish a website for ordering on the Internet 5. In addition, in the said web site, the user authentication by a member number is performed, and the control part 61 can identify the customer of ordering origin by this. For example, the control unit 61 reads from the member master 681 the store of the delivery source corresponding to the member code of the customer who logged in to the website of the online supermarket. Then, the product information of the product being handled at the store is read from the product master 481 of the store of the delivery source. Then, display data of the website is generated, and the display data is transmitted to the customer terminal, and the customer terminal 10 is made to display the website of the online supermarket corresponding to the store. An example of the screen configuration of the website will be described later.

  In addition, when the control unit 61 receives an order for a product from the customer terminal 10 via the website published on the Internet 5, the control unit 61 generates specification data from various information related to the order and stores the specification data in the specification data DB 682. Further, the control unit 61 transmits the generated item data to the shop server 4. The itemized data includes, for example, the member code of the customer who placed the order, the member number or member name corresponding to the member code, the address, the name of the store where the delivery is to be made, the number of points or the expiration date of the item, the item of the product ordered by the customer from the website It includes information such as a code, a product name, a unit price, an order quantity, a total purchase price required for one delivery, and a delivery number for uniquely identifying the delivery. The specification data is used not only as data for managing sales at the store but also as data for issuing various slips.

  Next, the functional configuration of each unit of the control unit 61 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the program executed by the network super server 6 of this embodiment has a module configuration including a display control unit 71, an input receiving unit 72, a searching unit 73, and a reading unit 74. As actual hardware, when the CPU (processor) reads the program of the present embodiment from the storage medium and executes the program, the above-described units are loaded onto the main storage device, and the display control unit 71, the input receiving unit 72, and the search unit 73, a reading unit 74 is generated on the main storage device.

Further, the program executed by the network super server 6 of the present embodiment may be provided or distributed via a network such as the Internet. Further, the program of the present embodiment may be configured to be provided by being incorporated in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The display control unit 71 controls the overall display operation of the web site of the net supermarket. The input receiving unit 72 receives various input operations performed on the web page of the online supermarket from the customer terminal 10. The search unit 73 searches for a product in the product master 481 of the store server 4 using the search keyword input from the customer terminal 10 in the web page of the online supermarket. The reading unit 74 accesses the store sales file 482 of the store server 4 and reads sales data for each product. Detailed functions of each unit will be described later along with the screen transition example.

  Next, a screen transition example of a web site controlled by the control unit 61 of the network super server 6 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of the screen configuration of the top page of the web site (EC site) of the online supermarket. As shown in FIG. 5, on the left side of the top page, an area A1 for displaying a product category in text is provided. Further, on the right side of the top page, an area A2 for displaying a product category as an icon is provided. When text or an icon is selected in each area, the display control unit 71 displays a page in which products belonging to the selected category are arranged.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a search area A3 for searching for a product is provided below the area A1. The search area A3 is provided with a category selection window A31 for selecting a product category and an input field A32 for inputting a search keyword. In addition, the search area A3 is provided with a search button A33 for confirming the text input in the input field A32 as a search keyword and starting the search process.

  As described above, the display control unit 71 functions as input field display means, and displays an input field A32 for inputting a word / phrase for searching for a product on the web page of the net supermarket. The customer inputs a keyword relating to a desired product into the input field A32 displayed on the customer terminal 10. Further, when the search button A33 is selected and operated, the input reception unit 72 determines the word / phrase input in the input field A32 as a search word / phrase to be used for the search. As described above, the input receiving unit 72 functions as a search start instruction receiving unit that receives an operation instructing the start of the search process.

  The conventional net super server 6 starts the search process only after the operation of the search button A33 is performed. On the other hand, the net super server 6 according to the present embodiment starts the display processing of the product name candidate when the text input to the input field A32 is started. Hereinafter, the display operation of the product name candidate according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of a product name candidate. As shown in FIG. 6, when the text is input in the input field A32, the search unit 73 searches the product master 481 using the text input at that time prior to the selection operation of the search button A33. Start processing
That is, the search unit 73 extracts the product name of the product having the text input in the input field A32 as product information from the product master 481.

  If there is product information including the input text, the display control unit 71 displays a balloon A34 below the input field A32. Then, the display control unit 71 arranges and displays the product names extracted by the search unit 73 in the balloon A34 as candidate product names for which the search process is performed. Thus, the display control unit 71 functions as a product name candidate display unit.

  Here, as illustrated in FIG. 6, it is assumed that one commodity name candidate is selected by the cursor C1. When the search button A33 is selected in this state, the input receiving unit 72 receives a search start instruction to start the search process with the product name candidate as the search term. Thus, the input accepting unit 72 functions as a search term accepting unit. The search unit 73 searches the product information stored in the product master 481 as a search target, and performs a search process regarding the product name candidate that has received the search start instruction.

  More specifically, for example, while "AAA cookie" is being input in the input field A32 in FIG. 6, for example, the search unit 73 searches product name candidates for the text being input at that time. . Then, when there is a commodity name candidate, a balloon A34 is displayed, and the commodity name candidates "AAA cookie chocolate" and "AAA cookie white" are displayed side by side. These commodity name candidates can be selected by the cursor C1. The customer can now select the product name he wants to search. That is, in the conventional search process, “AAA cookie” is input, and the search process is started only after the search button A33 is selected. In the present embodiment, the search unit 73 starts search processing for entering a keyword, that is, for a text such as “A” “AA” “AAA”, for example. Thus, the customer can confirm the validity of the search keyword at an early stage, and the product search can be easily performed even when the product name is only remembered in a vague manner.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a search result screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 71 displays the search result by the search unit 73 in the search result display area A4. As an example, a product name, a product code, a product price, a product image and the like stored in the product master 481 are displayed in the search result display area A4 for each product. Further, in the search result display area A4, for each product, a button for selecting the number of purchases of each product, a button for determining the selected number of purchases, and the like are provided. The customer can select and purchase the product of the search result on the search result screen. According to the present embodiment, the search results can be narrowed down by selecting a product from the product name candidates. Therefore, the desired product can be easily found from the search results.

  Next, an example of the display method of the product name candidate will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing a display example of product name candidates at the time of space input. When a space is input in the input field A32, the search unit 73 searches for a product name including both a phrase before the space and a phrase after the space. That is, an AND search is performed by the words before the space and the words after the space.

  Conventionally, when a plurality of search keywords are input across a space, an OR search has been performed which may contain any of the words. Ordinarily, in general search processing, OR search is convenient so that search results can be widely hit, but in the case of product search, it is almost always desirable to narrow down desired products in the process of search. Therefore, when a plurality of search keywords are input across a space, the search unit 73 according to the present embodiment performs an AND search including both words before and after the space. Thereby, narrowing down of goods can be performed efficiently.

  Further, when displaying product name candidates in the balloon A34, the display control unit 71 displays product name candidates grouped by category. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of product name candidates displayed in the order of categories. For example, the case where classification of a small category is made like FIG. 3-2 is demonstrated. In such a case, the display control unit 71 displays the product name candidates grouped in the same category in the balloon A34. That is, in the example of FIG. 9, the product names of products whose small category is "dairy products", the product names of products whose small categories are "drinks", and the products of products whose small categories are "ice cream" in order from the top Display the names in order. By displaying product name candidates collectively for each category in this manner, it is possible to make it easy to select a desired product name.

  The display control unit 71 may or may not display the category name as shown in FIG. 9 when collectively displaying the information for each category. Also, as shown in FIG. 3-1 and FIG. 3-2, when the large category, the small category, and the categories are classified in a hierarchy, first, they are summarized in the large category, and the product names of the same large category are smaller. You may arrange by category. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, classification may be performed only in the small category.

  In the balloon A34, the product name candidates may be displayed in the order of sales of the products. In this case, the reading unit 74 reads net supermarket sales data from the store sales file 482. The display control unit 71 arranges the product name candidates in the order of sales based on the sales data and displays them on the balloon A34. Similarly, the product name candidates may be displayed in descending order of purchase results based on the purchase result data of the logged-in member.

  Further, in the balloon A34, the product name candidates may be displayed in the order of the large number of searches or in the order of the large search frequency. For example, the net super server 6 counts the number of times the search process is performed for each product, and stores the number of times or the frequency of the search process within a predetermined period as search result data. Then, the reading unit 74 reads the search result data, and the display control unit 71 arranges and displays the search result data in descending order of the number of searches or in order of high frequency.

  Alternatively, in the balloon A34, the maker name may be displayed together with the product name candidate. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display example of product name candidates displaying a manufacturer name. As shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 71 may display the product name candidate with the maker name of the product. At this time, product name candidates may be arranged in order of manufacturer.

  Next, the procedure of the product name candidate display process executed by the net super server 6 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the product name candidate display process executed by the net super server 6.

  The input receiving unit 72 determines whether text input has been started in the input field A32 (step S1). If the text is not input (step S1: No), the input is waited (step S1). If text input is started (step S1: Yes), the process proceeds to step S2.

  The search unit 73 searches the entire product information (product name, category, maker, search keyword, etc.) of the product master 481 for a product name or product information including the text input in the input field A32 (step S2) ). If there is product information including the text input in the input field A32, the display control unit 71 displays the product name of the product as a product name candidate in the balloon A34 (step S3).

  The input accepting unit 72 determines whether or not the search button A33 is selected in a state where one of the product name candidates displayed in the balloon A34 is selected (step S4). While the search button A33 is not selected (step S4: No), the process returns to step S2, and the search is continued using the text further input in the input field A32. When the search button A33 is selected (step S4: Yes), the search unit 73 searches for product information in the product master 481 with the search keyword determined by the selection operation of the search button A33 (step S5). The display control unit 71 displays the search result on the search result screen (see FIG. 7) (step S6).

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, prior to the search start instruction by the search button A33, the product name candidate is searched based on the text input in the input field A32, and displayed on the balloon A34. As a result, the user can easily select a product name to be searched from the product name candidates listed below the input field A32, and it is possible to reduce the trouble of inputting the product name. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an information processing apparatus and a program that can improve the convenience of product search on a web page of a net supermarket.
