The information regarding the bid price is registered in the virtual market database 330 of the storage unit 300 shown in FIG. 7 (step S330).

  Note that the bid price information in step S310 may be input while looking at the respective bid screens 5000 and 6000 during the bidding possible period. It is also possible to set to bid automatically when it is possible.

  During the bidding period, any bidder registered for participation can bid. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the highest bid price at the present time is displayed for the participating bidders (step S340). In addition, even if the bidder is presenting the highest price at the present time, if another bidder presents a bid amount that updates the highest price, the updated highest price will be notified. Yes. Such notification may be notified by e-mail or the like, or may be displayed as a message on the virtual market bidding screens 5000 and 6000. With this configuration, the bidder can determine whether he or she can make a successful bid.

  In addition, when a price exceeding the immediate successful bid price set by the exhibitor is presented, it is possible to end the bidding and determine the successful bidder even before the bidding possible period ends. Alternatively, at the end of the bidable period, if all bid prices do not exceed the lowest successful bid price presented by the exhibitor, the transaction can be rejected.

[Step S360: Determination of successful bidder]
When the bidable period ends (step S350), the control unit 100 executes the successful bidder determination module 126, and determines the bidder who bids at the highest price during the bidable period as the successful bidder (step S360). Then, the successful bidder is notified of the decision of the successful bid, the payment method and deadline, the receipt of the product, etc. (step S370), and the seller is notified of the successful bidder information, the winning bid price, the shipping of the product, and the like. (Step S380).

  Payment can be made by credit card or bank transfer, and the operator of the net auction management system 1 can be configured not to be involved in payment. By doing so, unnecessary leakage of personal information can be prevented and an appropriate system can be obtained.

  At that time, as an operation fee, an amount calculated from a predetermined fee rate with respect to the transaction establishment amount may be charged to the exhibitor. For example, an exhibitor can be notified of a payment link to a website for electronic payment.

  Moreover, when delivering the successful bid calf to the bidder, a shipping fee is generated. However, the shipping fee may be automatically calculated according to the delivery destination and the number of heads. By comprising in this way, it becomes possible to calculate the expense concerning transportation appropriately.

  In this way, by conducting an auction in the virtual market using the Internet, it is possible for the exhibitor to reduce the cost of moving the calf to the market, and for the bidder, he / she participates in the sari while staying at home or at work. A system that can do this can be constructed. In addition, by building a system that sells grouped calves, it becomes possible to set a reasonable price, so that bidders can purchase at a reasonable price, and for sellers, It is no longer necessary to dispose of calves that buyers do not readily find, making it easier to manage their calves.

  Moreover, the following structures can be introduce | transduced as a modification of the said net auction management system 1. FIG.

[Modification 1]
It can be configured to download the pedigree of calves that are on the virtual market. In the above steps S140 to S160, when the producer registers the calf, the pedigree is to be uploaded, but the person considering the bid downloads the pedigree for use as a consideration material. Can be viewed. FIG. 12 shows an example of a pedigree book download screen 7000 which is a page for downloading a pedigree book. The pedigree download screen 7000 displays a producer name 7010 and a list 7020 of cattle registered by the producer. In the table of the registered calf list 7020, an ID 7030 and a downloadable pedigree 7040 are displayed. Further, as the third generation display 7050, the calf's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are displayed in an index.

  The pedigree book download screen 7000 is configured to be downloaded by clicking a pedigree book displayed in the registered calf list 7020. In this way, by configuring the pedigree so that it can be downloaded, it is possible to ensure the reliability of the transaction, and to display the history of the third generation cattle, a system that can grasp the blood source of the calf Can be provided.

  At that time, for calves that have no nasal crest in the pedigree for reasons such as being born soon, a margin transaction will be conducted, and a notification will be sent to the buyer when a pedigree with a nasal crest is received. It can be configured. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to construct | assemble the mechanism which can acquire the nose pattern which identifies the individual | individual of a cow reliably.

  Further, it may be configured to identify a seller who has not been sent to the buyer even though a pedigree book with a nose has arrived, and to manage the seller. By doing so, the buyer can surely obtain a pedigree with a nose print, so that a more reliable system can be constructed.

[Modification 2]
The bidder can choose the combination he / she wants to purchase. That is, in the above example, the producer has created the group, but the bidder can create a group and bid. That is, it is possible to send a message to the producer via the net auction management system 1 that the cow, the cow, and the cow group will purchase at any cost. In this case, the discount rate at the time of purchase can be changed according to the number of animals belonging to the group. By doing in this way, the purchase action according to a bidder's hope can be promoted, and purchase willingness can be stimulated more.

[Modification 3]
The net auction management system 1 operator establishes a livestock market or agricultural cooperative that has the right to issue a sale certificate that exempts the calf from the livestock trader and the seller's calf from the income tax and resident tax. It can be set as the structure introduced. And it can display and display on a map.

[Modification 4]
A review for each cow can be displayed on the virtual market screen. In other words, by displaying a review by a third-party livestock dealer on the virtual market screen, the bidder can know the evaluation of the calf from the third-party's eyes. Judgment materials can be obtained.

[Modification 5]
After the transaction is completed and the calf is delivered, the buyer can register the review of the seller's response and the subsequent purchase of the calf. By doing so, the seller can spread the reputation of the farm through the Internet, so that many sellers gather and it is possible to build a system for higher quality transactions. .

[Modification 6]
A money-back guarantee or a return guarantee can be added to prevent unauthorized use or intangible transactions. Alternatively, it is possible to display the purchase history and cancellation history (number of times and / or amount) of the purchaser so far. With this configuration, a more reliable system can be constructed.

[Modification 7]
It can be a system that allows bidding only for groups that have gained social evaluation. In the case of a transaction system using the Internet, it is impossible to see the faces of those involved in buying and selling, and to know the features. Therefore, when bidding, it is possible to make it a condition for participation to receive an evaluation by a third-party organization in advance and obtain an evaluation that is higher than an evaluation that can be bid. Alternatively, in order to ensure the reliability of the bidder, it is possible to pay a prepaid portion of a predetermined percentage of the planned bid amount so that a bid can be made according to the amount of the prepaid amount.

[Modification 8]
In the net auction in the present embodiment, the procedure for listing is performed by the producer. However, it is possible to adopt a configuration that accepts calves other than the producer, that is, listings other than the company cow. In that case, an exhibitor who is not a producer makes an offer for listing in steps S220 to S240. In such a case, it is possible to construct a highly reliable system without fraud by examining exhibitors.

[Modification 9]
The system may further include a function of selecting a carrier for transporting the successful biding calf or group of calves to the winning bidder.

  When delivering special parcels such as calves, there are cases where restrictions are set by the carrier, and there are various settings for delivery charges such as the unit price per head. In addition, some carriers can receive discounts as the number of heads increases.

  In this modification, the control unit 100 executes a carrier selection module 127 that selects an appropriate carrier from a plurality of carriers, and picks up carriers that meet the conditions input by the customer.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a carrier selection condition input screen 8000 for inputting conditions for the successful bidder to select a carrier. The carrier selection condition input screen 8000 is displayed on the bidder terminal of the bidder who has made a successful bid with Seri. As input conditions, the name 8010 and address 8020 of the buyer (successful bidder) as the delivery destination, the name 8030 and address 8040 of the seller (producer) as the delivery source, the number of calves to be delivered 8050, the delivery The desired date and time 8060 can be listed. In addition, a remarks column 8070 that can be freely entered when there is a request for delivery or the like is also provided.

  The buyer name 8010 and address 8020 and the seller name 8030 and address 8040 may be automatically input.

  When the successful bidder sets conditions on the terminal and presses the transmission button 8080 to access the network auction management system 1 via the Internet and transmit information on the conditions, the control unit 100 causes the carrier selection module 127 to be transmitted.

In the carrier database, there are several carriers in advance, delivery area, delivery unit price by delivery area, delivery unit price per calf, number of calves that can be delivered together, whether there is a discount by the number of heads, discount rate, etc. Is remembered.

  When calculating the delivery fee, the conditions such as the distance derived from the delivery source address and the delivery destination address input in FIG. 13 and the number of calves to be transported, and for each carrier stored in the carrier database The calculation is performed using the conditions. At that time, when calculating the delivery fee of the carrier for which the discount by the number of heads is set, the calculation is performed in consideration of the discount rate.

  When the delivery fee is calculated, information regarding the total amount of transactions including the recommended carrier and the delivery fee as shown in FIG. 14 is transmitted to the terminal of the successful bidder as a recommended carrier selection screen 9000.

  On the recommended carrier selection screen 9000, the name 9010 and address 9020 of the successful bidder entered on the carrier selection condition input screen 8000, the name 9030 and address 9040 of the producer, the number of calves to be delivered 9050, the delivery In addition to the desired date and time 9060, a recommended carrier list 9070 is displayed.

  The carrier displayed in the recommended carrier list 9070 is set so that the calculated delivery fee is automatically selected from among a plurality of registered carriers. It can also be set to select a carrier that has been highly evaluated by users in the past.

  The recommended carrier list 9070 displays the carrier total name 9100, the transaction total 9010 including the carrier name 9080, the delivery fee 9090, and the delivery fee in addition to the carrier name. Although not shown, a representative review by a past user may be posted. Further, a check box 9110 for selecting a carrier to request delivery from among a plurality of displayed carriers may be provided.

Also, instead of automatically selecting the carrier with the lowest delivery fee, it will be possible to make a selection taking into account the preference and reputation of the highest bidder while taking the delivery fee into consideration. A user-friendly system can be constructed.

[Modification 10]
The bidder terminal can further include a function of registering a calf of a favorite pedigree, and a function of receiving a notification when there is a listing of a pedigree calf similar to the favorite calf.

  In this case, when the producer presses the button 1030 shown in FIG. 3 to register the calf, the first ancestor (father), the second ancestor (mother's father), the third ancestor (the mother's mother's father) ) And 4 generations (mother's mother's father). In this way, the pedigree of registered and listed calves can be clarified.
