Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gift intermediary system and a method therefor, and more specifically, to a data storage means provided on a server for storing predetermined data, which is accessed via the network and via the network. The present invention relates to technology for mediating gifts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the development of information providing technology using a network, a system for identifying a product on the network and presenting it to a specific individual has been put into practical use. In such a system, a server specified by an IP address or the like is prepared on a network such as the Internet, and the data of gifts and products to be gifted are stored therein. Those who donate or give gifts to other people access the site where this server exists and specify the goods based on the data accumulated in the server. Then, the price of the product is paid by bank transfer or credit card payment, and the destination of the product is written in a specific area on the server.

[0003] The entity operating this site, after confirming the payment of the price, sends the designated product to the written destination. With this, the desired product is presented to a specific partner. Such a system is used for seasonal gifts such as year-end gifts and Chinese yuan, for celebrations such as birthdays, marriages, births, attendance at school, employment, etc., in return for these celebrations (so-called internal celebrations), and in return for mourning. ing.

[0004]

However, in such a gift-giving or gift-giving system via a network, the sender only sends the goods unilaterally. I couldn't reflect it unless I kept it. When giving or giving a gift, it is not always common to ask the other party for the desired product, and the giver often wonders what to give. In addition, when receiving gifts from a large number of relatives and friends, such as when getting married, it is not uncommon for people to be confused by duplicate products or gifts that they do not need for their lives.

These problems are, so to speak, problems of social customs, but even if it becomes socially acceptable for the giver to ask the other party what he / she wants to receive the gift, he / she requests it. The price of goods may exceed the range of gifts that the giver had planned, and it cannot be solved by changing social habits. No technical infrastructure has been proposed yet that solves various problems in giving a large number of individuals a single gift or a set of gifts.

The gift mediating apparatus and method of the present invention are as follows:
It is an object of the present invention to solve these problems, and particularly to provide a convenient system when a plurality of people give and receive gifts to a specific partner.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In order to further clarify the configuration and operation of the present invention described above, the embodiments of the present invention will be described based on Examples. FIG. 1 shows a hardware configuration for realizing a gift service system which is an example of an embodiment of the gift intermediary system of the present invention. The gift service system is the fact that the person who is expected to receive some product from a specific other person (hereinafter referred to as the “recipient”) has previously registered the product desired to be received on the network. By knowing the other person, by accessing the network and selecting the product to be gifted from the registered products,
A system that delivers selected products to the person. It should be noted that in normal social customs, the receipt of a product associated with a celebration or the like is recognized as a gift or a gift, but in the present specification, receiving a product through a gift or a gift is generally referred to as “receipt”.

Taking the case of a wedding celebration as an example, the content of the product given as a wedding celebration is usually determined by the judgment of another person who is notified of the marriage. On the other hand, the gift service system provides the other person who wishes to give such a wedding gift with an appropriate judgment material based on the will of the person who gives the gift regarding the product to be given.

The hardware for realizing the gift service system includes, as shown in FIG. 1, a first terminal 80 that the recipient accesses, and another person (hereinafter, referred to as a recipient) who wishes to give the recipient a certain product. A second terminal 90 accessed by a gift giver), a third terminal 70 accessed by a person selling a gift product (hereinafter referred to as a seller), and a gift including provision of information about the gift product. It is composed of a server SV owned by a service provider (hereinafter referred to as a service provider).

The first terminal 80, the second terminal 90, and the third terminal 70 are computers 80c, 90c, 70c, hard disks 80a, 90a, 70a, and a display 80, each of which includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like.

Serial input / output interface (SIO)
Reference numeral 32 denotes a control unit that controls the input / output of data from the outside, and the server SV is connected to the external network NW via this SIO 32. Normally, the server is directly connected to the network NW using a dedicated line.
Therefore, the SIO 32 is also realized as a network card compatible with the protocol used in the network NW. The first terminal 80, the second terminal 90, and the third terminal 70 are also connected to the network NW, and any terminal or server has an address (TCP / IP protocol) for identifying each on the network. If adopted, an IP address) is assigned.
Therefore, using such an address, each terminal 70, 8
It is possible to access the server SV from 0, 90 and perform data processing and transmission / reception between each terminal and the server SV. Access to the server SV is permitted to all terminals, but various files and data prepared in the server SV are provided with passwords, etc. Only it is accessible. The setting of such a password will be described later.

The server SV discloses information such as service outline for access without password,
Various registration processes, which will be described later, are executed by responding only to access from a person who is authorized to have an access right by a password or the like. Specifically, the server SV executes the registration process based on the instruction from the first terminal 80, and the gift designating process based on the instruction from the second terminal 90. The shipping management process is executed based on the instruction from 70. Detailed contents of the registration process, the gift designating process, and the shipping management process will be described later.

Next, the contents of the gift service system executed by using the above hardware will be described.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the contents of the gift service system. First, (1) the recipient uses his or her own computer, in this example, the first terminal 80, to access the server SV of the service provider and register as a member. After completing the member registration, the service provider opens a site for the registered recipients (hereinafter referred to as registrants) in the server SV, and registers the site so that the registrant can access the site. A registrant ID and a registrant password are issued, and (2) this registrant ID and registrant password are notified to the registrant. As a method of this notification, a method of displaying on the display 80b of the first terminal 80 based on the transmission from the server SV after completion of the member registration, a method of notifying by using mail or electronic mail, etc. are considered. be able to.

The recipient notified of the registrant password is
Access the server SV again using the first terminal 80,
Enter the registrant ID and registrant password. By this input, it becomes possible not only to visit the registrant site but also to perform various registration processes.

On the registrant site, a product list to be described later is prepared in a form in which the specifications of the product can be grasped. (3) The registrant selects the product he / she desires to receive from the product list and registers it on the site.

After the product registration is completed, (4) a message card is mailed to the registrant. This message card contains the donor ID issued by the service provider.
And the gift giver password is printed in advance. (5) The registrant describes the prescribed greeting on this message card,
Give to the giver. If the registrant desires, the service provider acts as a contact for the gift giver, and the service provider sends the information of the gift giver ID and the gift giver password to the gift giver. It is also possible to notify by e-mail or FAX.

The gift giver, who has grasped the circumstances by giving the message card, accesses the server SV using his computer, that is, the second terminal 90 in this example, and inputs the gift giver ID and the gift giver password. To do. By this input, the list of products selected by the registrant on the registrant's site (hereinafter referred to as the gift list)
Can be seen. (6) The gift giver selects an appropriate product to be given to the recipient from the products listed in the gift list and registers the gift on the site.

After the gift registration is completed, the service provider (7) orders the gift from the seller, and (8) sends an invoice to the gift maker according to the gift. To do. (9) The giver pays the requested amount to the service provider by bank transfer, online payment, or the like.
After the payment of the price, (10) the service provider instructs the seller to send the gift. When the date and time when the gift is received is designated by the recipient, it is instructed that the gift be shipped based on the designated date and time.

The seller (11), based on the above instruction,
Send the gift to the recipient and (12) report to the service provider that the recipient has received the gift. (13) Upon receiving this report, the service provider notifies the donor by e-mail or FAX that the recipient has received the gift.

The contents of the gift service system have been described above. Next, a registration process, a gift designating process, and a shipping management process, which are processes executed by the server SV when realizing such a gift service system, will be described. The registration process, the gift designation process, and the shipping management process respectively include the work (1) to (5), the work (6) to (8), and the work (9) to (13) in FIG. This is performed by the processing of the computer in the server SV. Therefore, the registration process, the gift designating process, and the shipping management process are executed in this order.

The contents and procedure of the registration process are shown in the registration process routine of FIG. This registration processing routine is started when the person who is going to register first connects to the server SV and selects "member registration". That is, the server S
It is activated when V receives a signal to the effect that it will register as a member through the network NW. Hereinafter, the above signal will be described as being received from the first terminal 80.

As shown in FIG. 3, when this routine is activated, first, a member registration process is performed (step S10).
0). The member registration process is a process of registering a person who intends to use the gift service system as a member, and the contents thereof are as follows. First, the format data of the registration application form is transmitted to the first terminal 80 via the public telephone line PTL. After that, when the recipient's personal information such as name is received, the registrant ID or registrant password is determined,
The registrant ID and registrant password are used for the first terminal 8
Send to 0. The registrant ID and registrant password are
It is stored in the server SV in a form linked with the received personal information.

When determining the registrant ID and the registrant password, the registrant ID and the registrant password corresponding to the registrant ID and the registrant password are also determined. Both the donor ID and the donor password are stored in the first terminal 80.
It may be sent to.

After the member registration processing is completed, it is judged whether or not the registrant ID and the registrant password are input (step S110), and when it is judged that the registrant ID and the registrant password are input, the recipient registration is performed. Processing and product registration processing are performed (steps S120 and S13).
0). After the member registration process, the connection with the server SV is temporarily disconnected, the registrant ID and password are sent by e-mail, etc., and then the connection with the server SV is made again. Target. In addition, in the present embodiment, when it is determined in step S110 that the correct registrant ID and registrant password have not been entered three times in a row, the registration processing routine is terminated, and the gift merchandise lineup is completed. , It is prevented from being peeped by a business person other than the member.

The recipient registration process (step S120) is
This is a process of registering information regarding the content of receiving a gift for the recipient. When this process is activated, first, the data in the recipient registration format is transmitted to the first terminal 80 via the public telephone line PTL. As a result, the registration format for member registration is displayed on the first terminal 80. This registration format has columns for describing the recipient's name, address, etc., as well as the desired date of shipment of the product and the expected number of donors. When the data in the registration format in which these items are filled is received, a recipient list is created based on the received data and this list is stored.

In the present embodiment, in consideration of the high probability that the registrant himself / herself will be the recipient, the names and addresses of the recipients already registered by the member registration process (step S100) are set in advance in the respective columns. The described registration format is transmitted to the first terminal 80. Therefore, it is possible to avoid inputting a name, an address, and the like twice, thereby reducing the operation burden on the registrant.
The recipient registration format is such that a plurality of recipients can be entered.

The merchandise item registration process is a process for registering merchandise items that the recipient desires to give and receive, and the contents thereof are as follows. The server SV first transmits the data of the product list described later to the first terminal 80 via the network NW. As a result, on the display 80b of the first terminal 80, a product list in which images and specifications of various products are described is displayed so that each product can be selected. After that, when it is received that a predetermined product is selected from the product list, the gift list is created and stored based on the selected product. The specific form of the gift list will be described later.

In the registration processing routine of FIG. 3,
The recipient registration process and the product registration process may be performed in the reverse order.

Next, a process for determining whether or not both the recipient registration process and the merchandise registration process are completed is performed (step S140), and when it is determined that both are not completed, it is not completed yet. The above process is repeated by returning to the previous process. If it is determined that both processes have been completed, a card creation process is performed (step S150).

The card creating process is a process for creating the above-mentioned message card, and its contents are as follows. First, the donor ID or the donor password is determined, and the determined donor ID and the determined donor password are printed on the message card.

In this embodiment, when there are a plurality of gift givers, the gift giver ID and the gift giver password are determined so that the gift giver has a different ID and password. Of course, the gift giver ID and the gift giver password may be determined so that only one of the gift giver ID and the gift giver password is different.

Further, in this embodiment, the determined gift giver password is linked with the registrant password and stored.
By linking two passwords like this,
The gift giver is allowed to access the data stored in the registrant site (for example, the gift list).

When the card making process is finished, this routine is finished. It should be noted that, in this routine, a process for registering the information of the donor's mail address is provided, and the determined donor ID, donor password, etc. are transmitted to the second terminal 90 by e-mail based on this registration. Processing may be added.

Next, the contents and processing procedure of the gift designating process are shown in the gift designating process routine of FIG. After the above registration process is completed, the server SV is in a state of waiting for access from the second terminal 90 to the site for the gift giver. When it is determined that the gift giver's site has been accessed, the gift designation processing routine is started.

As shown in FIG. 4, when this routine is started, it is first determined whether or not the gift giver ID and the gift giver password have been input (step S200). Product designation processing is performed (step S210). In the present embodiment, step S200
In the above, when it is determined that the correct combination of the gift giver ID and the gift giver password has not been input three times in a row, the gift giving processing routine is terminated. Therefore, access such as chilling and harassing is prevented. Even if the recipient does not have the will to pay the price for the registered list, the application process described below is repeated to prevent mischief that prevents others from applying.

The gift designating process is a process in which the gift giver selects a product that he or she wants to give to the recipient from the gift list and registers the selected product as a gift. On the street. When this process is activated, the server SV firstly changes the data of the gift list to
It is transmitted to the second terminal 90 via the network NW.
As a result, on the display 90b of the second terminal 90,
For each product selected by the recipient, a gift list in which the image and specifications are described is displayed so that each product can be selected. After that, when it is received that a predetermined product is selected from the gift list, the selected product is designated as a gift and the designation is stored.

The gift giver list is created in a form in which personal information such as the name of the gift giver is linked to the gift giver ID, the gift giver password, and the information about the gift, and is stored in the server SW.

Prior to the creation and storage of the gift giver list, "the person accessing the site" and "the person listed in the gift giver registration format" are matched by communication means such as telephone or FAX. You may perform the process which confirms whether to do. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a gift act based on deception.

Further, in the gift specifying process routine of FIG. 4, the order of executing the gift specifying process and the gift giver registration process may be reversed.

After the gift giver registration process, a process for determining whether or not both the gift specifying process and the gift giver registration process are completed (step S230), and when it is judged that both are not completed, , And returns to the previous processing which has not been completed and repeats the above processing. If it is determined that both processes have been completed, a bill preparation process is performed (step S240).

The bill making process is a process of making a bill to the gift giver. That is, the amount charged to the gift giver is calculated based on the content specified by the gift giver, and the calculation result is used as the gift giver name, the gift giver password, the date when the gift is specified, and the gift Print it on the invoice along with the type. This process creates an invoice list that describes the debt details for each gift (for example, which gift giver and how much to pay, history of deposit, etc.) and whether the recipient has received the gift. The contents of the invoice list are stored

When the bill preparation process ends, this routine ends. In this routine, a process of transmitting the invoice file created in step S240 to the second terminal 90 by e-mail may be added.

Next, the contents and processing procedure of the shipping management processing are shown in the shipping management processing routine of FIG. After the gift designating process is completed, the server SV enters a state of monitoring the stored bill list. When it is determined that a new deposit history is input to the bill list, the shipping management processing routine is started.

As shown in FIG. 5, when this routine is started, first, the bill list is referred to (step S30).
0), a process for determining whether or not there is a gift having no balance (that is, the full amount of money has been paid) (step S)
310). If there is no gift with no balance, this routine is ended, and if there is a gift without balance, the fact that the gift has been paid in full is recorded in the bill list (step S320). , Processing for instructing the shipment of this gift (step S330).

In the process of step S330, the desired shipping date of the product stored in the recipient registration process (step S120 of FIG. 3) is referred to. Instructs the above gifts to be shipped on the desired shipping date.

In the shipping instruction processing in step S330, the file in which the shipping instruction is written is stored in the network NW.
Through the third terminal 70. After this transmission is completed, a process of determining whether or not a receipt notice (notice that the gift has been received by the recipient) is received from the third terminal 70 (step S340). When it is determined that the receipt notification has been received, the fact that the gift has been delivered is recorded in the invoice list (step S350), and a process of creating a delivery completion report to the donor is performed ( (Step S360), the present routine ends. In this routine, step S
A process of transmitting the delivery completion report file created in 360 to the second terminal 90 by e-mail may be added.

With the deletion of this product, the gifts list is updated with the contents excluding the deleted product.

In this embodiment, the product already selected as the gift by the gift giver is prohibited from being deleted. For example, in the example shown in FIG.
"Company backpack" and "Company A handbag" have already been selected as gift items by Mr. X, Mr. Y, and Mr. Z, respectively. Therefore, even if the user clicks on the "C company backpack" or "A company handbag" columns, they are not highlighted.
That is, these products cannot be selected as products to be deleted. Of course, when the "C company backpack" or "A company handbag" column is clicked, the message "This product has already been applied as a gift to the giver, so cancel the selection on the display 80b." It is also possible to display a message saying "No."

With the addition of this product, the gift list is updated to include the added product.

According to the present embodiment described above, the recipient who wants to receive the gift gives the server S via the network.
When accessing V, personal information is registered and connection permission is requested using the registered registrant ID and password.
The server SV permits access after confirming the correspondence with the registrant ID and password registered in advance. The recipient who has received the access permission registers in the storage device 34 one or more products for which the gift is to be received. Therefore, the product is not registered in the storage device 34 of the server SV by mischief. On the other hand, the person who wants to give the gift receives the password for the giver and requests the server SV to connect using the password. Therefore, only the person who knows the password can refer to the product registered by the recipient. You can Therefore, only the person who wants to give a gift can refer to the registered merchandise, and the merchandise desired by the person who wants to receive the gift can be properly presented. Since a password is required to refer to the registered product, there is no need to disclose privacy to unrelated things or receive an application by mischief.

According to the gift intermediation system of this embodiment, some people who receive a gift such as a celebration at the time of marriage, going to school, or getting a job can receive the desired product without duplication. , The person who gives the gift can give what he or she desires accurately and without the hassle of going out for shopping or making arrangements for delivery. Moreover, various information registered on the server for that purpose can be protected from unrelated strangers.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
The invention is not limited to these examples,
The present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, it can be operated as a system in which a single gift giver gives a desired product to a plurality of recipients as in the case of a gift in return.
In this case, a plurality of products are registered in the server for each amount of money, and different passwords are set for each amount of money. The person who receives the return connects to the server with this password and selects a desired product from a plurality of product groups. With such a configuration, as in the case of the first embodiment, it is possible to realize the intermediation of gifts by making the most of both intentions. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the product to be donated is registered in advance,
For example, it is possible to specify a floor of a specific department store and treat all the products on the floor as the same products as those registered. The person who wants to give gifts goes to the display floor of the department store, selects a product on the spot, and immediately accesses the server, for example, using the bar code of the tag attached to the product, and the product is already addressed to the same recipient. You should check to see if they are being sent to.
