The information processing system functionally includes a recipe registration unit 50, a recipe presentation unit 51, a recipe purchase reception unit 52, a contract condition acquisition unit 53, a store registration unit 55, a menu registration unit 56, a condition registration unit 57, and a menu output unit 58. , an order reception unit 59 , a recipe database 61 , a menu database 62 and a condition database 63 .

The recipe registration unit 50, the recipe presentation unit 51, the recipe purchase acceptance unit 52, and the contract condition acquisition unit 53 are mainly executed by the processor 11 included in the recipe sales server 1, and the program stored in the storage unit 12 is executed. etc. is controlled. The store registration unit 55, the menu registration unit 56, the condition registration unit 57, the menu output unit 58, and the order reception unit 59 are mainly executed by the processor 21 included in the food sales server 2, and programs stored in the storage unit 22 are executed. It is realized by controlling the communication unit 23 and the input/output unit 24 .

The recipe database 61 is mainly implemented by the storage unit 12 of the recipe sales server 1, but may be implemented by a database management system running on another server. The menu database 62 and the condition database 63 are mainly realized by the storage section 22 of the food sales server 2, but may be realized by a database management system operating on another server.

The recipe registration unit 50 acquires recipe information from a recipe seller and registers the recipe information in the recipe database 61 . Also, information on the menu that can be provided is acquired from the recipe seller based on the recipe information, and the information on the menu is registered in the recipe database 61 in association with the recipe information.

The recipe presenting unit 51 presents recipe information registered in the recipe database 61 to a purchaser who plans to purchase the recipe. In addition, the recipe presenting unit 51 causes the store terminal 4 operated by the purchaser to present contract conditions between the recipe seller who sells the recipe information and the purchaser who purchases the recipe information. Also, the recipe presenting unit 51 presents information except for some of the recipe information registered in the recipe database 61 to the purchaser of the recipe before accepting the instruction to purchase the recipe information. After receiving an instruction to purchase the recipe information, the recipe presentation unit 51 presents information including a part of the registered recipe information to the purchaser.

The contract condition acquisition unit 53 acquires contract conditions based on the contract condition generation information, and enables the recipe presentation unit 51 to present the contract conditions.

The recipe purchase accepting unit 52 accepts an instruction to purchase the recipe information registered in the recipe database 61, especially the presented recipe information, from a recipe purchaser.

When the store registration unit 55 receives an instruction to purchase recipe information and the electronic store of the purchaser who instructed the purchase does not exist, the store registration unit 55 transmits the information of the purchaser's electronic store to the food sales site. Register information that enables access to Here, the food sales site is an example of a product sales site.

Upon receipt of the instruction to purchase the presented recipe information, the menu registration unit 56 stores menu product information associated with the recipe information and menu product information to be sold at the electronic store of the purchaser of the recipe information. registered in the menu database. The product information is information about products, and may include, for example, menu ID, store, menu name, price, image ID, additional image ID, and related area. In addition, the product information may include information about the location of the store of the recipe seller and information indicating the recipe seller (for example, the brand image of the seller).

When receiving an instruction to purchase recipe information based on the contract terms from the purchaser of the recipe information via the store terminal 4, the condition registration unit 57 associates the provision conditions according to the contract terms with the recipe information. It is registered in association with the product information of the purchased product. The contract conditions include at least one of the contract term, sales area restrictions, sales quantity, and sales amount upper limit. The provision condition is a restrictive condition for restricting the output of product information, and includes at least one of the sales period, information indicating the sales area, the number of sales, and the upper limit of the sales amount. The condition registration unit 57 does not register the sales period in the condition database when the sales period entered by the purchaser of the recipe for correction of the menu associated with the recipe information includes a period exceeding the contract period. .

When the consumer accesses the shop of the purchaser of the recipe on the food sales site, the menu output unit 58 outputs the product information of the menu registered in the menu database in association with the shop. The product information of the menu output by the menu output unit 58 may include product information of products associated with the recipe information. The menu output unit 58 obtains a history regarding the movement of the consumer, and if the history indicates that the consumer has previously visited a range corresponding to the information regarding the location of the store of the seller of the recipe, the consumption of the consumer. You may output information about the recipe seller to the seller.

Moreover, the menu output unit 58 restricts the output of the product information on the menu based on the provision conditions stored in association with the product information. When the provision conditions include a sales period, the menu output unit 58 does not output the product information if the current date is not within the sales period associated with the product information. Also, if the provision conditions include a provision area, the registered product information is not output unless the consumer's position is within the provision area.

The order accepting unit 59 accepts a purchase instruction for a consumer to purchase the menu output by the menu output unit 58 , and transmits order information based on the purchase instruction to the food sales server 2 .

Next, the details of the processing of the information processing system will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of processing for purchasing a recipe. First, when an operator of the store terminal 4 (a purchaser who wishes to purchase a recipe) accesses the recipe sales site, the recipe presentation unit 51 included in the recipe sales server 1 acquires recipe information from the recipe database 61 and presents the recipe. Part of the information (recipe summary information) is presented to the operator of the store terminal 4 (step S101). The recipe information presented before purchase is the recipe information registered in the recipe database 61 from which the core part of the cooking method has been removed. The excluded part of the recipe information is, for example, part of recipe ingredients or cooking method.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a recipe overview screen. The recipe overview screen is a screen output by the store terminal 4 that has received the recipe overview information. The example of FIG. 5 is a list screen displaying part of recipe information for each of a plurality of recipes. When the purchase button 81 for any of the recipes displayed here is pressed, the store terminal 4 transmits a recipe selection instruction indicating that the recipe corresponding to the purchase button 81 has been selected. If the "sell recipe" button is pressed on this screen, the screen changes to a screen for registering recipes. Since registration and sale of recipes are known per se, the description of registration of recipes will be omitted.

When the store terminal 4 transmits the information (recipe selection instruction) indicating the selected recipe, the recipe presenting section 51 receives the information indicating the selected recipe (step S102). Then, the contract condition acquisition unit 53 acquires the contract conditions indicated by the contract condition generation information associated with the recipe information, and the recipe presentation unit 51 displays the information including the contract conditions (contract condition information) when the purchaser operates the contract conditions. to the store terminal 4 (step S103).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen showing contract conditions. This screen is output by the store terminal 4 that has received the contract terms information, and is a screen for confirming whether to accept the contract terms and purchase the recipe. The available period displayed in FIG. 6 indicates the contract period, and the available area indicates the sales area where sales are permitted. In addition, the upper limit of the quantity and amount of money that can be sold may be described as the contract conditions. Here, when the recipe seller sets a condition such as excluding the area in which the shop is located from the sales area as a contract generation condition, the contract condition acquisition unit 53 obtains the position and area of the shop from the recipe database 61. Terms and conditions may be generated that obtain and exclude that area is the available sales area. When the recipe seller sets a condition such as excluding the sales area of the store of the recipe seller from the sales area as a contract creation condition, the contract condition acquisition unit 53 acquires the sales area of the store from the recipe database 61. and may generate a contract term that excludes that area is the available sales area.

When the purchaser performs an operation for accepting the contract conditions and purchasing the recipe, for example, by pressing the condition acceptance button 83 in FIG. Send contract instructions indicating

The recipe purchase accepting unit 52 receives the contract instruction from the store terminal 4 operated by the purchaser (step S104). Upon receiving the contract instruction, the recipe presenting unit 51 transmits the details of the purchased recipe information (recipe detailed information) to the purchaser's store terminal 4 (step S105). Here, for the purchased recipe information, the recipe purchase receiving unit 52 transmits recipe information including parts (for example, all ingredients and cooking methods) that were not transmitted on the recipe overview screen as detailed recipe information.

Upon receiving the detailed recipe information, the store terminal 4 outputs a detailed recipe screen. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a recipe details screen. The recipe details screen describes information necessary for providing the product of the menu. The recipe details screen may include not only textual information and images, but also a link for playing a video showing the cooking procedure. The contract update button 85 will be described later.

The recipe presenting unit 51 may also transmit detailed recipe information for recipes that have not been purchased. In this case, the transmitted recipe details may not include parts of the recipe, such as ingredients and at least part of the recipe.

Upon receiving the contract instruction, the recipe purchase acceptance unit 52 further executes the processes from step S106 onward. In step S106, the recipe purchase accepting unit 52 determines whether the food sales site has a shop of the purchaser of the recipe. If the store exists (Y in step S106), step S107 is skipped. On the other hand, if the store does not exist (N of step S106), the recipe purchase acceptance unit 52 transmits a store setting request to the food sales server 2 (step S107).

Upon receiving the store setting request, the store registration unit 55 included in the food sales server 2 newly sets the store of the purchaser of the recipe on the food sales site (step S201). More specifically, the store setting is based on the purchaser information included in the store setting request, and the name of the store, contact information for receiving orders, and sales area are set in a store database (not shown), and the food sales site It may be a process of registering information that enables access to. The process of registering the information enabling access to the food sales site may be, for example, the process of setting the URL corresponding to the top page of the store within the food sales site to the web server of the food sales server 2 .

Instead of steps S106 and S107, the recipe purchase acceptance unit 52 may always send the store creation request. In this case, the store registration unit 55 that received the store creation request determines whether the store of the purchaser of the recipe exists in the food sales site, and if the store does not exist, the store registration unit 55 newly sets the store of the purchaser. You can The store generation request may be transmitted together with at least one of a menu registration request and a condition registration request, which will be described later.

When the store of the purchaser of the recipe exists, or when the process of step S107 is completed, the recipe purchase reception unit 52 transmits a menu registration request and a condition registration request (step S108). The menu registration request includes menu information stored in the menu database 62 in association with the recipe information, and the condition registration request includes contract conditions. When the food sales server 2 receives the menu registration request and the condition registration request, the menu registration unit 56 newly registers a menu corresponding to the recipe in the menu database 62 in association with the shop of the purchaser (step S202). The condition registration unit 57 newly registers the provision condition in the condition database 63 in association with the menu (step S203).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the menu database 62. As shown in FIG. The menu database 62 stores menu IDs, stores, menu names, prices, image IDs, additional image IDs, and related areas for each of the menus supplied at various stores. In the example of FIG. 8, the store name is described as the store, but the store ID may actually be stored. The menu database 62 may further store menu descriptions.

The image ID is information that identifies the image of the menu. The additional image ID is information specifying an image to be displayed, for example, information specifying an image indicating the seller of the recipe that is the basis of the menu (for example, a brand image of the seller of the recipe). The related area is an area associated with the recipe seller, specifically, a range according to the information about the location of the recipe seller's store. prefecture or municipality) is set.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the condition database 63. As shown in FIG. The condition database 63 stores information indicating conditions for providing the menu for each menu. In the example of FIG. 9, the condition database 63 stores, for each menu, the menu ID that identifies the menu, the store, the period of provision, and the area of provision. The condition database 63 may further store the upper limit of the sales amount and the upper limit of the number of sales. The provision area further limits the sales area of the store. The offer period is the period during which the items on the menu are sold. The provision period is a period included in the contract period in the contract conditions, and the contract period itself may be set in the process of step S203. The provision period can be changed later using the menu management screen, and the processing will be described later.

The menu registration unit 56 and the condition registration unit 57 are implemented by the processor 11 and the like included in the recipe sales server 1, and the menu registration unit 56 and the condition registration unit 57 on the recipe sales server 1 are directly connected to the menu database 62 and the condition database. Data may be registered in 63.

Note that the recipe presenting unit 51 may transmit detailed recipe information in response to a request from the purchaser of the recipe even after the processing shown in FIG. 4 is completed. For example, if the contract update button 85 is pressed on the recipe details screen shown in FIG. 7 when the contract term is about to be renewed, the shop terminal 4 transmits the contract renewal information, and the recipe purchase acceptance unit 52 makes a contract for the recipe. Take action to extend the period. This process includes steps S103 and S104, a process of transmitting the provision period based on the updated contract period by the recipe purchase reception unit 52, and a process of updating the provision period by the condition registration unit 57.

By the processing of FIG. 4 described so far, when a recipe is purchased, it becomes possible to automatically register menus related to the recipe in the store of the purchaser of the recipe on the food sales site. This makes it possible for the purchaser of the recipe to reduce the trouble of managing the food sales site. Contractual terms may also be set to allow the recipe seller to restrict the actions of the recipe purchaser, reducing the likelihood that the purchaser will act outside of the contract. Limitations are also discussed below.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of processing related to product sales. First, the menu output unit 58 causes the consumer terminal 5 to output, for example, a screen for allowing the consumer to enter a postal code and desired delivery date and time, and in response to this, the information indicating the consumer's address and the desired delivery date and time entered by the consumer are displayed. It is obtained from the consumer terminal 5 (step S301). Then, the menu output unit 58 outputs to the consumer terminal 5 a list of stores that satisfy the conditions based on the information indicating the address and the desired delivery date and time (step S302). A store that satisfies the conditions based on the information indicating the address and the desired delivery date and time is a store whose desired delivery date and time is within business hours and whose address is within the delivery area. Here, the information indicating the consumer's address is an example of the information indicating the consumer's position.

A store list screen is output to the consumer terminal 5, and when the consumer selects a store from the store list, the consumer terminal 5 transmits a menu list request for requesting a menu list for that store. The menu listing request contains the selected store. The menu output unit 58 acquires a menu list request including the selected store (step S303).

The menu output unit 58 acquires a list of menus registered in the menu database 62 for the selected store that satisfy the provision conditions (step S304). The menu output unit 58 acquires a plurality of menus of the selected store from the menu database 62, and among the acquired menus, the menus for which provision conditions associated with the menus are not registered in the condition database 63 are associated with each other. Acquire a list containing menus that satisfy the registered provision conditions.

A menu that satisfies the provision condition is a menu in which the current date is included in the provision period and the address of the consumer is included in the provision area when the provision period and the provision area are set in the provision condition. When one of the provision period and the provision area is set in the provision condition, the menu that satisfies the provision condition is the menu that satisfies one of them.

In the examples of FIGS. 8 and 9, for example, for the menu with the menu ID "B01-039" of "Aiu AA", the provision period and provision area are set as the provision conditions, so the current date is July 1, 2021. If the date is later than this date, or if the consumer is in Aichi Prefecture, this menu will not be included in the list for list display and will not be displayed on the menu list screen described later. This prevents the menu from being sold after the contract period has expired, and prevents the menu items from being offered in areas that compete with the recipe seller. Here, the provision area is set according to the location of the store of the recipe seller and the sales area. In addition, if the provision conditions include an upper limit on the number of sales or the amount of sales, if the cumulative number of sales or the amount of sales for a menu at this store exceeds the upper limit, the menu will not be acquired in the list. not displayed on the menu list screen.

When the menu list is obtained, the menu output unit 58 generates data for the menu list screen (step S305). The menu list screen includes product information for each of the menus included in the list. The image of the menu in the menu list screen may include an image showing the brand of the recipe distributor registered in the menu database 62 by the menu registration unit 56 . The menu output unit 58 also acquires the history of the consumer's past movements (eg, travel destination history) from another service (eg, travel reservation service), and performs the following processing for each menu included in the list. The process determines whether any of the histories acquired by the menu output unit 58 indicates that the consumer has visited the related area included in the product information of the menu, and if so, the menu output unit 58 However, it is to add information about the recipe seller (for example, store name and menu name) to the data of the menu on the menu list screen. By this process, the information about the recipe seller is displayed on the consumer terminal 5 in a form that is easy to see with respect to the menu.

The menu output unit 58 then transmits data of the generated menu list screen to the consumer terminal 5 (step S307). The consumer terminal 5 receives the data and displays the menu list screen.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the menu list screen. On the menu list screen of FIG. 11, at least part of the menu of the store "AIU AA store" is displayed. When product information of a menu including additional images and related areas is registered with the purchase of a recipe, and information on consumer movement indicates that the related area has been visited, the menu list screen displays an image of the menu. In addition to the description image 87 indicated by the ID and the brand image 88 indicated by the additional image ID, an additional sentence 89 that is information about the recipe seller added to the consumer is displayed. In this way, at the store of the recipe purchaser, by displaying an image showing the relationship between the recipe seller and the menu based on the positional relationship between the consumer and the recipe seller, the product based on the purchased recipe can be displayed. It is possible to improve sales efficiency.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for changing provision conditions in menu management. In the process shown in FIG. 12, the store manager (same as the purchaser of the recipe) inputs an input to change the provision conditions on the menu management screen, and the store terminal 4 instructs to update the menu provision conditions. Processing when information containing is transmitted will be described.

First, the condition registration unit 57 acquires an instruction to update the menu provision conditions transmitted from the shop terminal 4 (step S501). The update instruction includes update contents of the item input by the manager of the store among the provision conditions. For example, when the provision period is updated, the update instruction includes the provision period newly entered by the administrator. Since the menu management cannot update the service area, the update instruction does not include updating the service area.

(Step S503). More specifically, the condition registration unit 57 determines whether the start of the provision period is before the start of the contract period or the end of the provision period is after the end of the contract period. If the input provision period includes a period exceeding the contract period (Y in step S503), a warning message is output and this process is terminated.

If the update instruction does not include an update of the provision period (N of step S502), or if the input provision period does not include a period exceeding the contract period (N of step S503), the condition registration unit 57 , the provision condition of the menu in the condition database 63 is updated with the entered provision condition (step S504).
