Description

The present invention relates to an exhibition management support device and an exhibition management support method.

The culture of donations, which was widespread in Europe and the United States, is beginning to permeate Japan in various ways. For example, in addition to conventional donation targets such as charity organizations, political parties, and religious organizations, local governments and entrepreneurs are also becoming recognized as targets.

Moreover, various portal sites and SNSs (Social Networking Services), etc., have become popular as a means or platform for making donations, in addition to depositing cash into collection boxes and depositing funds into designated accounts through financial transactions.

Incidentally, as various conventional techniques related to such donations, for example, a system for providing online charity-related services (see Patent Document 1) has been proposed.

This system is a server system connectable to the terminals of the seller and the terminal of the purchaser. a product information registering means for receiving the registered information of from the seller terminal and storing product information related to the product in the product information storage means; and a page for receiving a product page transmission request designating the product from the purchaser terminal. A request receiving means extracts product information related to the specified product from the product information storage means, sets the degree of contribution of the seller to the charity based on the product information, and generates a product page including the contribution. and page transmission means for transmitting the generated product page to the purchaser terminal.

In addition, there has been proposed a device (see Patent Document 2) that processes part of the deposited money as a donation at the time of product registration.

This device comprises an operator display section for displaying information on a display surface, a customer display section for displaying information to customers and for displaying donation conditions in a selectable manner, an input section for inputting data, and a data input section. and an information processing unit connected to the input unit, the printing unit, the operator display unit, and the customer display unit to execute information processing, wherein the information processing unit, a process of accepting registration of a customer's purchased product, a process of displaying the purchase status of the product on the operator display unit and the customer display unit, and a process of accepting selection of donation conditions via the customer display unit; a process of calculating the donation amount according to the selected donation condition, displaying the total sales amount of the purchased product, the donation amount, and the total payment amount on the operator display unit and the customer display unit; and the total sales of the purchased product. It executes the process of printing the amount, donation amount and total payment amount.

There has also been proposed a device that lowers the psychological hurdles for those who wish to make donations (see Patent Document 3).

This device is an information processing device that can be connected to a store terminal, a user terminal, and a donation mediator terminal via a network. a payment history database for accumulating payment history data in association with the donation target data; calculation means for calculating a donation amount based on the payment history data accumulated in the payment history database; On the other hand, providing means for providing the payment history data used for calculating the donation amount.

By the way, there is hometown tax as a new form of donation. In this hometown tax donation, donors make donations of a predetermined amount in the form of "tax payments" to local governments of their choice. At that time, the donor receives local products and points as a return gift. In addition, those who donate to local governments have the advantage of deducting part of the donation amount from their income tax and inhabitant tax by filing a final tax return.

From the point of view of those who do such hometown tax donations, it is very pleasing to have an environment where they can choose from a wide range of attractive gifts. If that happens, hometown tax donations will tend to become a pure pleasure that transcends the framework of an act of donation.

On the other hand, from the point of view of the producers who prepare the above-mentioned gifts, it is difficult to list low unit price products that require a corresponding amount of shipping costs, partly because of the so-called 50% rule. If such products are used as gifts, a large number of products are used as the unit of gifts in order to raise the total amount of products for one set to be donated to a certain level or higher. In that case, there is a possibility that it will become an unrealistic product composition such as perishables in units of 10 kilograms.

On the other hand, local governments that treat producers' products as return gifts are obligated to report all return gifts to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the more diverse the return gifts, the more time and effort it can take and the cost to do so. .

In other words, it is difficult for small-scale producers of agricultural products and fisheries businesses targeting natural products to participate in the hometown tax donation system and those who handle relatively small amounts of products due to unstable supply. It was the current situation that it was difficult to make it a return gift.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique that enables the participation of a wide range of producers in hometown tax donation and the handling of gifts in return without overloading local governments.

The exhibition management support device of the present invention, which solves the above problems, includes a storage device that holds product information registered by producers, and a process for accepting donations from donors in response to requests from terminals of donors. a process of issuing points as a gift in response to the amount of the donation, a process of linking the points to the donor and managing them in a storage device, and a process of distributing the product information to the terminal of the donor and an arithmetic device for executing a process of performing payment for the product selected by the donor based on the product information, using the points managed by the storage device with respect to the donor as funds.

Further, in the exhibition management support method of the present invention, the information processing device holds the product information registered by the producer in the storage device, and accepts the donation from the donor in response to the request from the terminal of the donor. A process of executing a process, a process of issuing points as a gift in return for the amount of the donation, a process of linking the points to the donor and managing them in a storage device, and transferring the product information to the terminal of the donor. a process of distributing, and a process of performing payment for the product selected by the donor based on the product information, using the points managed by the storage device with respect to the donor as a source of funds.

According to the present invention, the participation of a wide range of producers in hometown tax donation and the handling of gifts in return can be achieved without overloading local governments.

The exhibition management support device 100 of the present embodiment can be said to be a service providing device that supports the hometown tax payment business between producers and local governments. It can also be said to be a hometown tax portal site that accepts and processes hometown tax donations from donors.

Therefore, the exhibition management support device 100 serves as a server device operated by a business operator that supports the hometown tax payment business.

On the other hand, the producer terminal 200 is a terminal used by the producer of the product purchased by the donor at the hometown tax portal site operated by the business operator. The producer uses the producer terminal 200 to access the exhibition management support device 100, and registers his product there. More specifically, smartphones, tablet terminals, personal computers, and the like can be assumed.

Also, the donor terminal 300 is a terminal used by a donor to access the above-described portal site and perform a donation procedure to a predetermined local government. However, the gift in return for donation in the present embodiment is a region-limited point, not the above-described product of the producer. Donors obtain area-limited points by donating to local governments through furusato nozei (hometown tax) donations, and use these points to purchase the above-mentioned products. Specifically, such a donor terminal 300 can be assumed to be a smart phone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like.

Further, the municipality system 400 is a system operated by a municipality that receives support for the hometown tax payment business from the business operators described above. For example, the local government system 400 is assumed to be a server device that receives notification of the contents of donations by donors from the exhibition management support device 100 and manages them.

<Hardware configuration>
Further, the hardware configuration of the exhibition management support device 100 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 2 as follows.

That is, the exhibition management support device 100 includes a storage device 101 , a memory 103 , an arithmetic device 104 and a communication device 105 .

Also, the communication device 105 is assumed to be a network interface card or the like that connects to the network 1 and handles communication processing with the producer terminal 200 , the donor terminal 300 , and the local government system 400 .

It is preferable that the exhibition management support apparatus 100 further includes an input device for receiving key input and voice input from the user, and an output device such as a display for displaying processed data.

In the storage device 101, in addition to the program 102 for implementing the necessary functions as the exhibition management support device of this embodiment, at least a product DB 125, a producer DB 126, an average shipping fee DB 127, and a donor DB 128 are stored. It is However, the details of these databases will be described later.

<Data structure example>
Next, various types of information used by the product management support device 100 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the product DB 125 in this embodiment.

The product DB 125 of the present embodiment is a database that stores information about products (products produced and collected by producers) accepted for exhibition from the producer terminal 200 .

The product DB 125 is a set of records that associate data such as product name, genre, production area, production date, product description, unit price, size, and producer information with, for example, product ID as a key. Note that the unit price here indicates the price per unit of purchase with area-limited points.

Also, FIG. 4 shows an example of the producer DB 126 in this embodiment. The producer DB 126 of this embodiment is a database that stores information on the producers of the products whose information is registered in the product DB 125 described above.

The producer DB 126 is a collection of records that associate data such as producer name, product, location, and contact information with producer ID as a key, for example.

Moreover, in FIG. 5, an example of average mailing cost DB127 of this embodiment is shown. The average shipping fee DB 127 of the present embodiment is a database that stores information about the average shipping fee for each shipping point of packages.

For example, the average shipping cost DB 127 is a set of records that link data such as the size of a package originating from that region and the actual average shipping cost when the package is shipped to various locations, using the region of origin as a key. It has become. The information in the average shipping fee DB 127 is updated by the exhibition management support device 100 based on the information each time the product of the producer is shipped to the donor. In other words, the average shipping fee is updated according to each value of the manufacturer's location, the size of the shipped product, the size of the parcel, and the shipping fee incurred in relation to the donation case.

Further, FIG. 6 shows an example of the donor DB 128 of this embodiment. The donor DB 128 of this embodiment is a database that stores information on donors.

The donor DB 128 is a collection of records that link data such as the donor's name, address, contact information, and area-limited points owned, for example, with a donor ID as a key.

<Flow example: product registration>
The actual procedure of the exhibition management support method according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Various operations corresponding to the product management support method described below are implemented by a program that the product management support device 100 reads into a memory or the like and executes. This program is composed of codes for performing various operations described below.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow example of the exhibition management support method according to this embodiment. Here, it is assumed that the producer operates the producer terminal 200 to access the exhibition management support device 100 and is about to register his own product on a predetermined product registration page.

In this case, the exhibition management support device 100 receives the target product information (corresponding to each value included in the record of the product DB 125) from the producer terminal 200 via the product registration page (see FIG. 8). and producer information (corresponding to each value included in the record of the producer DB 126 is received (s1).

Also, the exhibition management support device 100 multiplies the price (unit price) of the product by 10/3 from the information received in s1 to calculate the amount of donation required for the product (s2).

Subsequently, the exhibition management support device 100 compares the size of the product obtained in step s1 and the information on the location of the producer with the average shipping fee DB 127, and determines the shipping cost of the package of the size when the package originates from the area. Specify the shipping fee (s3). Instead of using the average shipping fee DB 127 in this way, the shipping fee specified by the producer may be used as the shipping fee for the product.

Also, based on the information on the donation amount obtained in s2 and the shipping fee obtained in s3, the exhibition management support device 100 determines that the shipping fee for the above-mentioned product is a fixed percentage (eg, 15%) of the above-mentioned donation amount. ) is exceeded (s4).

As a result of the above determination, if the shipping fee does not exceed the fixed percentage of the donation amount (s4: No), the exhibition management support device 100 stores the information obtained so far regarding the above-mentioned product in the product DB 125 and The data is appropriately stored in the producer DB 126 (s5), and the process ends.

On the other hand, as a result of the above determination, if the shipping fee exceeds the fixed percentage of the donation amount (s4: Yes), the exhibition management support device 100 calculates a new donation amount that makes the shipping fee equal to or less than the predetermined percentage. (see FIG. 9), this is stored in the product DB 125 as information on the product (s6), and the process is terminated.

<Flow example: Accepting donations>
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a flow example of the exhibition management support method according to this embodiment. Here, we show the flow when a donor browses the hometown tax portal site, selects the product they want to purchase with area-limited points, and makes a donation accordingly.

In this case, the exhibition management support device 100 distributes a product list screen (see FIG. 11) to be purchased in response to a request from the donor terminal 300, and starts the processing for accepting donations from the donors described above. (s10). The donor selects the product that the donor wishes to purchase using the area-limited points on the product list screen, and clicks a predetermined button such as "contribute".

The exhibition management support device 100 receives the specification of the product desired by the donor to be purchased via the product list screen, and extracts information on the product and its producer from the product DB 125 and the producer DB 126 (s11). .

The exhibition management support device 100 refers to the information on the donation amount from the information on the corresponding product obtained in step s11, and multiplies the donation amount by a predetermined coefficient (eg, 0.3) to limit the area as the return gift. A point value is calculated, and area-limited points corresponding to the calculated value are issued to the donor (s12).

When the region-limited points are issued, the value of the region-limited points is stored in the donor DB 128 in association with the above-mentioned donor, and the donor terminal 300 is notified to that effect (see FIG. 12). .

Subsequently, the exhibition management support device 100 distributes various information about the product and the donation obtained so far to the donor terminal 300, and receives a payment instruction for the product (see FIG. 13) (s13).

When receiving a payment instruction from a donor, the exhibition management support device 100 executes payment processing using the region-limited points managed by the donor DB 128 for the donor (s14), and sends the result to the donor. The terminal 300 is notified.

In addition, upon completion of the payment processing in s14, the exhibition management support device 100 notifies the producer terminal 200 of the producer of the relevant product of a shipping instruction for the relevant product (s15), and terminates the process. do. It is assumed that the exhibition management support device 100 notifies the local government system 400 of information such as the history of processing up to this point regarding the donation case.

Although the best mode for carrying out the present invention has been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the invention.
