The network N is, for example, a WAN (Wide Area Network) such as the Internet. The reception processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 may include a plurality of payment servers 10, a plurality of user terminals 100, and a plurality of business terminal 200s.

The payment server 10 shown in FIG. 1 is an information processing device that executes a reception process according to an embodiment, and is realized by a server device, a cloud system, or the like. For example, the payment server 10 provides an electronic payment service related to electronic payment using the user terminal 100. For example, the payment server 10 manages the accounts of the provider (business operator) of the transaction target and the user to which the transaction target is provided, and transfers electronic money between the accounts according to the payment request from the user. By doing so, various payments are realized. The electronic money may be, for example, points or currencies independently used by various companies, or may be money provided by the state such as Japanese yen or dollars that can be electronically traded. ..

In addition, the payment server 10 provides a pre-order service for restaurants. For example, the payment server 10 has an order management unit that manages an electronic payment service using the user terminal 100 (in other words, controls processing related to the pre-order service). Then, the settlement management unit and the order management unit each use a common key (for example, an order number for identifying an order from the user via the pre-order service), and the contents of the order from the user (for example, a transaction). Specify the target and payment amount) and execute the processing related to each service.

The user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 1 is an information processing device used by a user.

It is described in an up language or the like. The predetermined application itself distributed from the payment server 10 may be regarded as control information.

[1-1. About payment using user terminal 100]
Here, an example of payment (electronic payment) using the user terminal 100 will be described prior to the reception process executed by the payment server 10. In the following description, the user U uses a two-dimensional code (QR code (registered trademark)) arranged in the store A and indicates the store identification information that identifies the store A. An example of making a payment using the person terminal 100 will be described. However, the embodiments are not limited to this. The example of payment described below can be applied even when an arbitrary user makes a payment at an arbitrary store using an arbitrary user terminal 100. Further, the store identification information may be not only a QR code but also a barcode, a predetermined mark, a number, or the like.

For example, when the user U uses or purchases a payment target (transaction target) such as various products or services at the store A, the user U installs a payment application installed in the user terminal 100 in advance. to start. Then, the user U transfers the information indicated by the store identification information installed in the store A, that is, the information indicating the store A (store ID) and the payment information indicating the payment amount to the payment server 10 via the payment application. Send to.

In such a case, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money of the amount indicated by the payment amount from the account of the user U indicated by the user identification information to the account of the store A indicated by the store information. Then, the payment server 10 transmits a notification to the user terminal 100 that the payment has been completed. In such a case, the user terminal 100 notifies that the payment has been made by electronic money by outputting a screen indicating that the payment has been completed and a predetermined voice.

The payment using the user terminal 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned processing. For example, the payment using the user terminal 100 may be made using the store terminal installed in the store A. For example, the user terminal 100 displays user identification information for identifying the user U on the screen. In such a case, the store terminal installed in the store A reads the user identification information displayed on the user terminal 100, and the user identification information (or the information indicated by the user identification information, that is, the user U. Information (for example, user ID) indicating the above, the payment amount, and the payment information indicating the information identifying the store A are transmitted to the payment server 10. In such a case, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money of the amount indicated by the payment amount from the account of the user U indicated by the user identification information to the account of the store A, and the store terminal or the user of the store A. The terminal 100 may be notified that the payment has been completed by outputting a screen indicating that the payment has been completed or a predetermined voice.

Further, the payment using the user terminal 100 is not only a process of transferring the electronic money from the account charged with the electronic money in advance by the user U to the account of the store A, but also, for example, the credit registered in advance by the user U. Payment using a card may be used. In such a case, for example, the user terminal 100 may transfer the electronic money of the payment amount to the account of the store A and charge the payment amount to the credit card management company of the user U. ..

[1-2. About the outline of the embodiment]
Here, the outline of the reception device, the reception method, and the reception program according to the embodiment will be described. The reception device according to the embodiment is realized by the payment server 10.

The payment server 10 executes the reception process according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, the information processing executed by the payment server 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, an example is shown in which the user terminal 100 is used by the user U and the business terminal 200 is used by the business operator M1 who manages the store A. Further, in the following description, the user terminal 100 may be equated with the user U, and the business terminal 200 may be equated with the business operator M1 and the store A. That is, in the following, the user U can be read as the user terminal 100, the business operator M1 and the store A can be read as the business operator terminal 200.

Further, in the following description, the store A that accepts payment from the user using the electronic payment service provided by the payment server 10, that is, the member store of the electronic payment service is a member store of the pre-order service, and the pre-order service. The transaction target (for example, food and drink) shall be provided to the user through. For example, the business operator M1 registers product information regarding a transaction target product (for example, a take-out product) provided to a user using an electronic payment service in the payment server 10, and the user sends the product information via the pre-order service. Accepts orders and provides products to users who come to the store afterwards.

Further, in the following description, the payment server 10 pre-orders the registration of product information including the product name, price, description text, product image, options that can be given to the product (product size, topping, etc.). It shall be accepted from the business operators of the member stores of the above and managed by associating it with the store information (for example, store ID, store name, location, etc.).

Here, in the pre-order service, the store side registers the price in the settlement server 10 together with various information regarding the transaction target. In such a case, the payment server 10 provides the user with information on the transaction target, accepts the transaction target order from the user, and executes the settlement of the pre-registered price. For example, the payment server 10 transfers a pre-registered amount of electronic money from the user's account to the store's account, and notifies the user and the store that the payment has been made. Then, the user visits the store and receives the transaction target ordered in advance. In addition, the user may deliver the transaction target from the store to his / her own using, for example, various delivery services.

On the other hand, in order to promote the use of stores, the act of reducing the price of the transaction target at a predetermined date and time, so-called happy hour, is performed. However, in order to realize happy hour in the pre-order service, it takes time and effort to correct the price of the transaction target at the corresponding date and time. For example, if a store cuts the price of food and drink by half from 5 o'clock in the evening to 7 o'clock in the evening, the price of food and drink is updated to half price at 5 o'clock in the evening, and then at 7 o'clock in the evening. It takes time and effort to restore the price of food and drink.

Therefore, the payment server 10 accepts the registration of the price for each time zone, and depending on the date and time when the order is received from the user, the date and time when the user makes the payment, or the date and time when the user receives the transaction target, etc. Of the pre-registered prices, the price in the corresponding time zone is automatically adopted. Hereinafter, an example of the process executed by the payment server 10 will be described.

First, the business operator terminal 200 displays a management screen of a menu (product information) provided to the user in the pre-order service in response to an operation from the business operator M1 (step S1). Subsequently, the business operator M1 has price information indicating a discount price for each transaction target when the transaction target is provided at a discount price, time information indicating a time zone in which the transaction target is provided at a discount price, and time information. In addition, display information, which is information indicating a method of displaying that an order to be traded is accepted at a discounted price, is input to the business terminal 200 (step S2). For example, if the business operator M1 has a plan to provide a transaction target at a discounted price of 5 from 15:00 to 16:00 and wants to display that fact on the user terminal 100 for each transaction target, the business operator M1 Displays the price after 5 discounts for each transaction target, the information of the provision time zone from 15:00 to 16:00, and the fact that the transaction target is provided at the discount price on the user terminal 100 for each transaction target. Is input to the business terminal 200.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 acquires price information, time information, and display information from the business terminal 200 (step S3). After the payment server 10 acquires the price information, the time information, and the display information, the payment server 10 transmits the price information, the time information, and the display information to the user terminal 100 (step S4). Here, when the date and time when the payment server 10 delivers each information is the date and time when the transaction target is provided at the discount price, the payment server 10 transfers the information of the discount price associated with the date and time to the user terminal 100. Send. As a result, when the user terminal 100 acquires the price information, the time information, and the display information, the user terminal 100 displays that the order to be traded is accepted at the discounted price only in the time zone specified by the time information. (Step S5). On the other hand, when the date and time when each information is distributed does not correspond to the period in which various discounts are performed, the user terminal 100 receives the information of the normal price and displays the price.

Subsequently, during the time period when the user terminal 100 accepts the transaction target order at the discount price, the user U inputs the order content indicating that the transaction target is ordered at the discount price into the user terminal 100 (step S6). ). When the order content indicating that the transaction target is ordered at the discount price is input to the user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 transmits the order content to the payment server 10 (step S7). For example, the user terminal 100 has an order content indicating the number of orders for each product, options to be given to each product, and the like, as well as information indicating the store A and a payment amount for the store A, in response to an order confirmation operation on the order screen. Payment information indicating (total amount of goods and options) and the like is transmitted to the payment server 10. Then, the payment server 10 is another account held by the user U from the first account held by the user U in the electronic payment service for the electronic money corresponding to the payment amount indicated by the payment information, and the user. Transfer to a second account that U cannot use for transactions. To give a specific example, the payment server 10 is a process of transferring electronic money between a plurality of accounts held by the user U in the electronic payment service, and is used for payment using the user terminal 100 described above. The process of transferring the electronic money of the settlement amount from the first account to the second account that cannot be used for the settlement is executed.

When the payment server 10 receives the order content, the payment server 10 transmits the order content to the business operator terminal 200 (step S8). For example, the payment server 10 displays a notification (for example, a push notification) indicating that the order from the user U has been accepted on the screen of the business terminal 200, and transmits the order contents. Then, the business operator terminal 200 displays the order contents in a manner that can be confirmed by the business operator M1 in response to the selection operation of the business operator M1 in response to the displayed notification. When the business operator M1 decides to receive an order from the user U, the business operator terminal 200 transmits information indicating that the order is to be received to the payment server 10 in response to an operation from the business operator M1. Then, the payment server 10 transmits the information received from the business terminal 200 to the user terminal 100.

After confirming the order contents displayed on the business terminal 200, the business operator M1 prepares the ordered transaction target. When the preparation of the ordered transaction target is completed, the business operator M1 inputs information to the effect that the preparation of the ordered transaction target is completed in the business operator terminal 200. The payment server 10 receives a notification from the business operator terminal 200 that the preparation of the product indicated by the order content is completed, and receives the information indicating the notification, the date and time when the product can be received, and the product. Notify the user terminal 100 of the authentication information (receipt number, etc.) for the purpose. As a result, the user U can receive the product by visiting the store A and presenting the authentication information to the clerk of the store A. After that, the payment server 10 receives information indicating whether or not the product has been received from the user terminal 100 (step S9).

Subsequently, the payment server 10 executes a payment process according to the receipt of the product (step S10). For example, when the information indicating that the product has been received is received from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the second account of the user U to the business operator M1. Transfers to an account held by an electronic payment service. On the other hand, when the payment server 10 receives the information that the product could not be received, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the second account to the first account.

In step S7, the payment server 10 holds electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the order information from the account held by the user U in the electronic payment service to the account held by the administrator of the pre-order service in the electronic payment service. May be migrated to. In this case, when the information indicating that the product has been received is received from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 receives the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the order information from the account held by the administrator by the business operator M1. Transfer to the account you own. Further, when the payment server 10 receives the information indicating that the product could not be received from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the order information from the account held by the administrator to the user U. Transfer to the account.

As described above, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment receives price information indicating a discount price for each transaction target from the business operator M1 and an order for the transaction target at the discount price via the business operator terminal 200. The time information indicating the band and the display information indicating that the transaction target order is accepted at the discount price are acquired, and based on the information, the transaction target order is placed on the user terminal 100 at the discount price. Can be accepted. As a result, the business operator M1 can accept orders from many users who use the platform for the transaction target for which sales are to be promoted, at a specified discount price, for a specified time zone, and in a specified display method. It becomes possible to promote the sales of the transaction target.

The business operator M1 may set a plurality of time zones for accepting orders to be traded at a discounted price and input the time information to the business operator terminal 200. As an example of setting multiple time zones for accepting orders to be traded at a discounted price, enter time information as the time zone for accepting orders to be traded at a discounted price from 14:00 to 16:00, and the price is discounted by 3 from the regular price. After entering the price information as the discount price, set the time zone from 17:00 to 19:00 as the time zone for accepting orders to be traded at the discount price, enter the time information, and set the discount price to half the regular price. For example, you may enter price information to be a discounted price. This makes it possible to flexibly change the discount price depending on the time zone in which the user U places an order to be traded. That is, the business operator M1 can flexibly change the price according to the demand of the transaction target.

In addition, the business operator M1 can arbitrarily set the conditions for accepting orders at a discounted price. For example, after the user U places an order for the transaction target, if the user U receives the transaction target within the time range set by the business operator M1, a condition is set that the transaction at the discount price is completed. You may. In this case, when the user U places an order for the transaction target, the business operator M1 does not receive the transaction target within the time range set in advance by the business operator M1, for example. Respond to the traded order with the consent of the terms and conditions for charging additional costs. As a result, the business operator M1 receives the transaction target by the user U, for example, when the transaction target is a food product whose expiration date is approaching, even though the user U has placed an order for the transaction target. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of disposal of the transaction target caused by not coming to.

Further, when the user U places an order to be traded at a time other than the time zone for accepting the order to be traded at the discount price, the order to be traded is accepted at the normal price. As a result, it is possible to accept orders to be traded at a discounted price only during the time period set by the business operator M1.

[1-3. Reception of price information, time information, and display information on the carrier terminal]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a business terminal according to an embodiment. Here, an example of a management screen displayed by the business operator terminal 200 in the above-described embodiment and an example of price information, time information, and display information input by the business operator M1 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the business operator terminal 200 displays a screen C11 for managing product information provided to a user in the pre-order service. For example, the business terminal 200 includes a screen C11 including an area AR11 that displays product information corresponding to each product provided by the business M1 and a "happy hour" switch for switching whether or not to accept an order for a product at a discounted price. Is displayed. Here, in the example of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the "happy hour" switch corresponding to the product # 2 is slid to the right by the operator M1. In this case, the business terminal 200 displays the screen C11 on the screen C11 with price information indicating the discount price of the product # 2, time information indicating the time zone for accepting the order at the discount price, and ordering the product # 2 at the discount price. The screen C12 for inputting the display information indicating the method of displaying the acceptance effect is displayed.

The business terminal 200 has an area AR12 for inputting a discounted price, an area AR13 for inputting a time zone for accepting an order to be traded at a discounted price, and a user terminal indicating that an order is accepted at a discounted price. A screen C12 including an area AR14 for inputting a method to be displayed on the 100 and a button B11 for instructing the storage of the information input to the area AR12, the area AR13, and the area AR14 is displayed.

For example, the business operator M1 inputs "215 yen" into the area AR12 as the discounted price of the product # 2 having the normal price "530 yen". Further, the business operator M1 inputs, for example, "15:00 to 16:00" in the area AR13 as a time zone for accepting an order for the product # 2 at the discount price input in the area AR12. Further, as a method of displaying on the user terminal 100 that an order is accepted at a discounted price, the business operator M1 selects, for example, "display for each transaction target" and inputs it to the area AR14. After that, when the button B11 is pressed, the business operator terminal 200 transmits the information input to the area AR12, the area AR13, and the area AR14 to the payment server 10 as price information, time information, and display information, respectively.

The time zone for accepting orders to be traded at a discounted price can be set arbitrarily. For example, the business terminal 200 has a period of accepting an order to be traded at a discounted price (for example, from what time to what time) or a period of periodically accepting an order to be traded at a discounted price (for example, from what time of every week). (Until what time) may be accepted from the business operator M1.

Further, a method of displaying on the user terminal 100 that an order to be traded is accepted at a discounted price can be arbitrarily set. For example, an input may be accepted from the business operator M1 by setting a method of displaying that an order is accepted at a discounted price for each transaction target, a method of displaying that an order is accepted at a discounted price for each store, and the like.

[1-4. Accepting orders for transactions at a discounted price on the user terminal]

For example, the user terminal 100 has an area AR21 for designating and inputting an area where a store (a member store of a pre-order service) is located, an area AR22 for designating a category of products to be pre-ordered, and a user. A screen C21 including an area AR23 for displaying contents (for example, a store name, an image of the appearance of the store, an icon, etc.) corresponding to a store located within a predetermined range from the current position of U is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 3, the user terminal 100 displays, in addition to the product category, the category “happy hour” related to the transaction target for accepting orders at a discounted price in the area AR22. Further, the user terminal 100 displays a store (a happy hour store) including a transaction target that accepts an order at a discount price in the area AR23. After confirming the screen C21, the user U selects the category of the transaction target to be ordered from the area AR22 or the area AR23, or selects a store that accepts the transaction target order at a discounted price. The screen C21 may display only the transaction target category "happy hour" that accepts orders at a discounted price, or may display only the store "happy hour" that accepts orders at a discounted price.

When the user U selects "happy hour" from the transaction target categories of the area AR22 of the screen C21 displayed on the user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 displays the screen C21 on the screen C22 shown in FIG. Make a transition. The screen C22 shown in FIG. 3 will be described later.
