[S10] The mall server 1 sets the ID of the designated store opening company in the environment variable COOKIE.
[S11] The mall server 1 displays a preset work proxy screen on the terminal device of the work proxy.
[S12] The work agent performs information processing such as editing product information provided by the designated store opening company and obtaining order information for the product on the displayed work agent screen, and the process proceeds to step S9 again.
[0023]
Here, various tables stored in the mall server 1 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table provided in the mall server 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating an example of an authentication table, and FIG. 3B is an example of a tenant table. FIG. 3C is a diagram showing an example of a work agent table.
[0024]
In the mall server 1, as shown in FIG. 3A, the authentication table 10 holds IDs and passwords in association with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the tenant table 20 holds the store opening company name and ID and the ID of the work agent acting on behalf of the operation of the store opening company. Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, the work agent name and the ID are held in correspondence with each other.
[0025]
In the present invention, there is a clear difference between the ID of the store opening company and the ID of the work agent. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the top three bytes of the configured ID at 7 bytes, in the case of labor charges line who is "IDK", in the case of store openings company is "IDS". In addition, the ID of the work fee row who, in the first two bytes of the lower 4-byte "00", to use a sequential number to the rest of the 2 bytes. In the store ID, the first 2 bytes of the lower 4 bytes use the last 2 bytes of the ID of the agent acting on behalf of the store, and the remaining 2 bytes use a sequential number. To do.
[0026]
Therefore, in the authentication table 10 shown in FIG. 3A, the work agent having the ID “IDK0001”, the store opening company having the ID “IDS0101”, and the store opening company having the ID “IDS0102” are stored. You can see that Further, it can be seen that a work agent having ID “IDK0002”, a store opening company having ID “IDS0201”, and a store opening company having ID “IDS0202” are stored. Each of these users is associated with a unique password and cannot see another user's password.
[0027]
Further, from the tenant table 20 shown in FIG. 3B, the store opening company with ID “IDS0101” is “tenant A”, the store opening company with ID “IDS0102” is “tenant B”, and both have the ID “IDK0001”. It can be seen that the work agent is managed by the virtual store. Similarly, the store opening company with ID “IDS0201” is “Tenant C”, and the store opening company with ID “IDS0202” is “Tenant D”. You can see that
[0028]
Further, from the work agent table 30 shown in FIG. 3C, the work agent with ID “IDK0001” is “work agent company X” and the worker agent with ID “IDK0002” is “work agent company Y”. It turns out that it is.
[0029]
As described above, according to the present invention, when setting the ID of a store company or a work agent related to a virtual shopping mall, the ID of the store agent that can perform the work for the work agent can be estimated. The configuration is as follows. For this reason, the correspondence between the store opening company and the work agent can be easily grasped from the ID.
[0030]
Next, information processing corresponding to step S5 and step S12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an information processing procedure in the mall server 1 of the present invention. Both step S5 and step S12 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 correspond to the information processing showing the procedure here. Note that what is displayed on the terminal device is the homepage of the store opening company in step S5 and the homepage of the work agent in step S12. In either case, the product information is edited or the order information is acquired as work. It is possible to select.

[S21] The mall server 1 determines whether the item selected on the display screen of the terminal device is the editing of the product information or the acquisition of the order information. If the selected product information is edited, the process proceeds to step S22. If the order information is obtained, the process proceeds to step S27.
[S22] A preset product information editing screen is displayed on the terminal device.
[S23] The mall server 1 checks the environment variable REMORT_USER. That is, it is determined whether the ID set in REMORT_USER is that of the store opening company or that of the work agent. If it is that of the store opening company, the process proceeds to step S25, and if it is that of the work agent, the process proceeds to step S24. move on.
[S24] The mall server 1 checks the environment variable COOKIE. That is, the ID set in COOKIE is collated in the tenant table, and it is determined whether or not the work agent who is REMORT_USER is to perform the work. If it is determined that the work can be performed, the process proceeds to step S25. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S26.
[S25] On the product information editing screen of the terminal device, if the branch company that is the target of information processing provides product information in advance, that information is called up. The user performs editing processing such as change, addition, and deletion of product information.
[S26] The mall server 1 outputs an error message to the terminal device and ends the process.
[0032]
[S27] A preset order information acquisition screen is displayed on the terminal device.
[S28] The mall server 1 checks the environment variable REMORT_USER. That is, it is determined whether the ID set in REMORT_USER is that of the store opening company or that of the work agent. If it is that of the store opening company, the process proceeds to step S30, and if it is that of the work agent, the process proceeds to step S29. move on.
[S29] The mall server 1 checks the environment variable COOKIE. That is, the ID set in COOKIE is collated in the tenant table, and it is determined whether or not the work agent who is REMORT_USER is to perform the work. If it is determined that the work can be performed, the process proceeds to step S30. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S31.
[S30] On the order information acquisition screen of the terminal device, order information for the product provided by the store opening company that is the target of information processing is called, and the user acquires it.
[S31] The mall server 1 outputs an error message to the terminal device and ends the process.
[0033]
As described above, in the present invention, the environment variable REMORT_USER and the environment variable COOKIE are set, and these environment variables are used for checking. Therefore, the user is not required to input an ID or password every time the processing screen is changed.
[0034]
As described above, in the virtual shopping mall using the mall server 1 of the present invention, the virtual agent can be managed without using the ID and password of the store opening company by the work agent, so that security can be ensured. become.
[0035]
Furthermore, since the mall server 1 holds the correspondence relationship between the store opening company and the work agent acting on behalf of the store opening business, and sequentially checks using environment variables, the mall server 1 It is possible to prevent an accident in which a work agent who does not process the information of the branch company is processed.
[0036]
In addition, since the mall server 1 is provided with such a check mechanism, even when acting on behalf of a plurality of store opening companies, the work agent only needs to manage his / her ID and password.
[0037]
Further, when there are a plurality of branch offices acting on behalf of the work agent, the work agent can further mall the virtual store in the virtual shopping mall so that the consumer can browse the product information collectively.
[0038]
The above processing functions can be realized by a computer. In this case, the processing contents of the functions that the mall server should have are described in a program recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the above processing is realized by the computer by executing this program on the computer.
