Various control programs and the like are stored in the ROM 53, and the CPU 52 reads these control programs and executes control processing. At this time, the RAM 54 is used as a work area for the CPU 52.
[0015]
The hard disk device 55 stores a contract acceptance program 55a and an inventory list 55b.
The contract acceptance program 55a is a computer program for accepting and processing a new contract application from the telephone 10 by exchanging data with the mobile phone 10, and includes data for displaying the above-described home page. It is out. This data is described in a language such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) or XML (Extensible Markup Language).
The stock list 55b is a list in which stock information indicating the stock status of mobile phones that can be newly contracted by a communication carrier with a new contractor is stored. The inventory list 55b is updated by the operator of the communication carrier to indicate the latest inventory status at any time. The Web server 50 reads the inventory information from the inventory list 55b by executing the contract acceptance program 55a, and transmits it to the mobile phone 10. On the other hand, the mobile phone 10 displays the received inventory information on the liquid crystal display, thereby indicating to the user B (new contractor) the inventory status of the mobile phone that can be newly contracted. That is, the user B (new contractor) refers to the inventory list 55b displayed by the mobile phone 10 of the user A (existing contractor), and considers the information described in the list 55b and purchases the mobile phone he wishes to purchase. The phone model can be determined.
[0016]
Here, the inventory information stored in the inventory list 55b will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the inventory list 55b includes “model name” of mobile phones in stock, “stock number” of each mobile phone, “list price” that is the original price of each mobile phone, "Sales amount" that is the price when the phone is actually sold, "Function" provided by each mobile phone, "Color" of each mobile phone, and "Privilege content" given to the user of the mobile phone 10 respectively Attached and stored.
The sales amount is equivalent to the amount obtained by subtracting the discount amount determined by the telecommunications carrier according to the sales of the mobile phone, the number of days elapsed from the sales start time, etc. from the list price. For example, the discount amount of a model with poor sales and an old model mobile phone for which a considerable number of days have passed since the sales start time are large, and as a result, the sales price is relatively low.
[0017]
The privilege content is privilege content given to the user A from the telecommunications carrier when the mobile phone 10 of the user A (existing contractor) mediates the contract application procedure of the user B (new contractor). The “points” shown in FIG. 4 are points given to the user A depending on the usage status of the communication service originally provided by the communication carrier, and the user A provides a product or service corresponding to the number of points from the communication carrier. Can receive. Further, the “discount rate” shown in FIG. 4 is a discount rate of the basic charge of communication charges. For example, the longer the subscription period, the greater the discount rate.
In FIG. 4, when the user A (new contractor) uses his / her mobile phone 10 to mediate the contract application procedure of the user B (existing contractor), the model of the mobile phone related to the contract is “MS001”, for example. In this case, it means that 100 points or a discount rate of 1% can be added.
Therefore, for example, for a mobile phone of a model that is not selling well or an old model mobile phone for which a considerable number of days have passed since the sales start time, if the content of the privilege is set to be more advantageous, it is possible for the user A It can be a motivation for brokering new contracts. This allows operators to reduce the risk of excess inventory.
[0018]
(4) Configuration of customer database 30
Next, the configuration of the customer database 30 will be described with reference to FIG. In the customer database 30, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, “address”, “bank account”, “credit information”, “point number”, “point number”, “User ID” assigned to each existing contractor, “Discount rate” and “cumulative mediation number” are stored. Here, the telephone number of each mobile phone 10 is used as the user ID.
The bank account is an account name and an account number for deducting a communication fee to be paid by the user A of each mobile phone 10.
The credit information is information obtained by quantifying the credit risk for the user A (existing contractor). Here, for example, the number of occurrences of accidents in which the communication fee could not be withdrawn due to insufficient bank account balance in the past year is used as the credit information. Therefore, the larger the value of credit information is, the more accidents occur, that is, the higher the credit risk. The credit information of the user A is used as a basis for determining credit risk for the user B (new contractor). That is, the credit risk of the user B is determined based on the credit information of the user A (existing contractor) who mediates the contract application of the user B (new contractor), and if the risk is determined to be high, the user B ( New subscribers will be rejected.
The cumulative mediation number is a cumulative value of the number of times user A (existing contractor) mediates user B (new contractor).
[0019]
B: Operation
Next, the operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
6 and 7 are sequence diagrams showing the operation of the entire system from the time when the mobile phone 10 accesses the Web server 50 and performs a new contract procedure. FIG. 8 is displayed by the mobile phone 10 at this time. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example of a screen.
[0020]
In FIG. 6, first, user A (existing contractor) operates a keypad of the mobile phone 10 to start a browser and inputs a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a home page held by the Web server 50. In response to this, the cellular phone 10 receives the above operation (step Sa1).
[0021]
Next, the mobile phone 10 transmits a request including the input URL to the Web server 50 via the mobile packet communication network 20 and the Internet 40 (step Sa2). At this time, the telephone number of the mobile phone 10 (that is, the user ID of the user A) is notified to the Web server 50 together with the request by a known calling number notification function provided in the mobile phone 10.
[0022]
When the Web server 50 receives the request via the Internet 40, the Web server 50 executes the contract acceptance program 55a in the hard disk device 55, thereby transferring HTML data indicating a homepage specified by the URL included in the received request to the hard disk. Read from the device 55 (step Sa3) and transmit it to the mobile phone 10 (step Sa4). This home page is a menu page in which service menus provided by the Web server 50 are listed.
[0023]
When the mobile phone 10 receives the menu page, it interprets it and displays it on the liquid crystal display (step Sa5). For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the menu page displays a field F1 described as “contract application” and a field F2 described as “inventory list”.
[0024]
Here, when the user A operates the keypad of the mobile phone 10 to move the cursor onto the field F2 described as “inventory list” and performs an operation of selecting this, the mobile phone 10 performs the selection. The operation is accepted (step Sa6), and a request for requesting an inventory list is transmitted to the Web server 50 (step Sa7).
[0025]
Upon receiving the request, the Web server 50 reads inventory information from the inventory list 55b in the hard disk device 55 in response to the request (step Sa8), and configures a list page for displaying the inventory information on the mobile phone 10, A reply is made to the mobile phone 10 (step Sa9).
[0026]
When the mobile phone 10 receives the list page, it interprets it and displays it on the liquid crystal display. In the list page displayed here, as shown in FIG. 8B, inventory information of mobile phones that can be newly contracted is displayed. In FIG. 8B, only one type of inventory information of the model name “MS001” is displayed, but when the user A selects and operates the field F6 in which “Proceed” is displayed in FIG. The telephone 10 obtains inventory information of the next model “MS002” from the Web server 50 and displays it.
In FIG. 8B, when the user A wants to know what kind of privilege is given when the contract for the model name “MS001” is mediated, the user selects the field F5 described as “privilege”. By performing the operation, the cellular phone 10 acquires the privilege content (100 points or 1% discount rate addition) corresponding to the model name “MS001” in FIG. 4 from the Web server 50 and displays it. The user A can confirm the contents of the privilege by such display, and can further specify which score is desired.
Further, when the user B wants to know the detailed function of the model name “MS001”, by selecting and operating the field F3 in which “function list” is described, the mobile phone 10 is as shown in FIG. A function list page is acquired from the Web server 50 and displayed. The user B refers to such inventory information, determines the mobile phone that the user B wants to purchase, and informs the user A to that effect.
[0027]
Now, when user B wants to purchase a mobile phone having the model name “MS001”, user A enters field F4 in which “application” is described in FIG. 8B or “application” in FIG. 8C. The described field F7 may be selected and operated. The cellular phone 10 accepts this operation (step Sa10), and transmits a request for requesting a page for applying to the web server 50 (step Sa11).
[0028]
Upon receiving the request, the Web server 50 configures an application page for applying according to the request (step Sa12), and returns it to the mobile phone 10 (step Sa13).
[0029]
When the mobile phone 10 receives the application page, it interprets it and displays it on the liquid crystal display. In the page displayed here, as shown in FIG. 8D, a field F9 for inputting various attributes of the user B necessary for the contract is displayed, and the user B enters the field F9. Enter information about yourself sequentially.
If user B wants to apply for a service such as answering machine or call waiting, he / she only needs to select and operate field F10 described as “service details” shown in FIG. In response to this operation, the mobile phone 10 acquires a service detail screen as shown in FIG. 8E from the Web server 50 and displays it. In FIG. 8 (E), when user B wants to apply for an answering service, for example, a check is to the right of the part displaying “answering machine” and below the part displaying “use”. What is necessary is just to select and operate the box F11, and when not wanting to apply for the answering service, it is only necessary to select and operate the check box F12 below the place where “not used” is displayed.
[0030]
Now, when all the information necessary for the new contract is input by the user B, the display screen of the mobile phone 10 transitions to the one shown in FIG. Here, when the field F13 described as “transmission” is selected, the cellular phone 10 accepts this operation (step Sa14), and transmits the input information input as described above to the Web server 50. (Step Sa15). Then, the mobile phone 10 displays a screen indicating that the contract is being processed as shown in FIG. 8G and waits until the next data is transmitted from the Web server 50.
[0031]
On the other hand, when receiving the input information, the Web server 50 stores it in a predetermined area in the hard disk device 55 (step Sa16).
[0032]
Next, in FIG. 7, the Web server 50 designates the telephone number of the mobile phone 10 notified in step Sa2 (that is, the user ID of the user A) and requests the customer database 30 to search for credit information (step Sa17). ).
[0033]
In response to this, the customer database 30 searches for the corresponding credit information using the designated user ID as a key (step Sa18), and the credit information obtained as a result (here, “MS001” shown in FIG. 5). The trust information value “1”) is transmitted to the Web server 50 (step Sa19).
[0034]
When receiving the credit information from the customer database 30, the Web server 50 considers the credit risk based on the credit information and determines whether or not the contract is possible (step Sa20). Here, it is assumed that it is determined in advance that a new contract is possible when the value of the credit information is “2” or less. Accordingly, since the credit information received from the customer database 30 is “1”, that is, “2” or less, the Web server 50 determines that a new contract for the user B is possible.
[0035]
If it is determined that a new contract is possible, the Web server 50 requests the customer database 30 to newly update the customer information (step Sa21). In this request, in step Sa16, the Web server 50 stores the input information stored in the predetermined area in the hard disk device 55 and the privilege to be given to the user A (in this case, 100 points are added or 1% discount rate is added). Among them, the one designated by the user A) is included.
[0036]
In response to this, the customer database 30 stores the input information received for the user B, and adds the received privilege for the user A (step Sa22). Then, the customer database 30 generates a completion notification indicating that the storage has been completed, and transmits this notification to the Web server 50 (step Sa23).
[0037]
Then, the Web server 50 generates a message indicating the result of the procedure and transmits it to the mobile phone 10 (step Sa24). When the mobile phone 10 receives this message, it interprets it and displays a screen as shown in FIG. 8H (step Sa25).
When the contract ends in this way, the mobile phone applied for by user B is delivered to the address entered by user B in step Sa14 by a delivery company (not shown) at a later date. User B can receive a communication service using the delivered mobile phone.
[0038]
As a result of the determination in step Sa20, if it is determined that the contract is not possible, the Web server 50 generates a message indicating that the contract is not possible, instead of step Sa23 described above, and transmits this message to the mobile phone 10. When the mobile phone 10 receives this message, it interprets it and displays a screen as shown in FIG.
[0039]
Now, if the user B (new contractor) has not paid the communication fee determined by the contract concluded as described above, the communication carrier will use the user A (existing contractor) of the mobile phone 10 that mediates this contract. ) For charging the communication fee. Specifically, the Web server 50 instructs the billing server 31 to perform a process of deducting the communication fee that the user B should pay from the bank account of the user A stored in the customer database 30.
At this time, for example, the Web server 50 charges the user A only for the communication fee that the user B should pay for the first time (that is, the monthly communication fee for the first month) and does not pay the communication fee. For B, processing for stopping the communication service may be performed.
[0040]
According to the above-described embodiment, whether or not the contract is permitted based on the credit information corresponding to the user A who uses the mobile phone 10 that has received the input of information necessary for the contract of the user B (new contractor). Therefore, the credit risk can be determined instead of presenting an identification card or the like. Further, since the contract is made using the mobile phone 10, the user B (new contractor) can conclude the contract with a simple procedure without going to the store.
Further, a privilege is given to the user A of the telephone 10 according to the number of times the contract is mediated using the mobile phone 10, and the content of the privilege varies depending on the model of the mobile phone 10. Therefore, even if the model is not selling well, the risk of excess inventory can be reduced by setting the privilege content appropriately.
[0041]
