  At this time, the user does not need to set a catalog ID. In this case, a keyword search by a product name is performed, and when a desired product is listed, the notification is performed. Become. However, when a product other than the desired product is listed, if it happens to be hit by a keyword search, a listing notification will be made. To prevent this, a catalog ID may be set. desirable.

  Thereafter, the same processing as steps S12 to S44 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is performed.

  In addition, a list of items held through the purchase history list page may be registered.

  In this case, when the purchase history menu 241 is selected from the my auction page 200 in the user terminal 4-1, for example, the purchase history list page is displayed from the system control unit 20 of the shopping server 1-1 to the user terminal 4-1. And the page is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 4-1.

  This purchase history list page is generated based on the purchase history of the registrant who has it, and displays the purchase history at the shopping site of the registrant who has it. That is, the purchase history list page displays a list of products that the registrant may have by purchasing at the shopping site.

  When the registrant who has the item selects a registration button or the like corresponding to the product he / she owns from the displayed list, the user terminal 4-1 selects the catalog ID of the selected product. The set-to-have list registration request is transmitted to the auction server 1-2 (the same processing as in step S3). Thereafter, the same processing as steps S4 to S44 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is performed. In the same manner as described above, from the list of successful bid products displayed by selecting the successful bid product menu 223 from the auction page 200, it is registered in the list of items owned by the registrant. You may be able to do that.

  Further, in the above description, a case has been described in which a registrant who has previously registers a product he owns (steps S1 to S7), and then a registrant who wants registers the desired product. (Steps S9 to S14), conversely, the case where the registrant who wants first registers the desired product, and then the registrant who has what registers the product he owns can be dealt with. .

  Further, in the above description, the product desired by the exhibition requester is searched for and selected from the list of items owned by the registrant displayed on the profile page 1000 (step S19). ), It may be possible to search for a user who owns the product desired by the exhibitor.

  In this case, when the system control unit 20 of the shopping server 1-1 generates the catalog page 300, the system control unit 20 embeds a search button or the like for searching for a user who owns a product whose catalog information is displayed on the page. A product for which catalog information is to be displayed can be searched using a keyword specified by the user, and a search button or the like for searching for the owning user is embedded in each product displayed on the search result page.

  When the exhibition requester selects an appropriate search button or the like from the catalog page 300 or the search result page displayed on the user terminal 4-3, the system control unit 20 of the shopping server 1-1 selects the designated product. The user who owns is searched, and the search result page is transmitted to the user terminal 4-3.

  Then, the exhibition requester may select the user requesting the exhibition from the search result page displayed on the screen so that the user terminal 4-3 transmits the exhibition request to the user. Alternatively, the selected user's profile page 1000 may be displayed on the screen, and a product for which listing is desired may be selected.

  In the above description, the My Auction page 200 (FIG. 15) that displays the list of items that have been requested is displayed (exhibition related information display area 1135) for the product requested to be exhibited. However, when the exhibition requester requests an exhibition (step S19), the message to the registrant can be input and the message is displayed in the exhibition related information display area 1135. Also good. For example, if you see a message such as “I really want it because it was a product I have been looking for.

[3.2 Processing when receiving an exhibition request]
Next, processing for receiving an exhibition request request that is started when the auction server 1-2 receives an exhibition request from the user terminal 4-k (step S20 shown in FIG. 7) will be described with reference to FIG. .

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the exhibition request request reception process of the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 according to the present embodiment. In the following description, “system control unit 20” simply means “system control unit 20 of auction server 1-2”.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 that has received the request for exhibition from the user terminal 4-k performs an exhibition based on the member ID and the favorite product ID set in the request. The favorite possessed product information related to the product of the user who owns the requested product is specified (step S81).

  Next, the system control unit 20 generates desired product information based on the identified favorite owned product information (step S82). Specifically, the system control unit 20 assigns a new desired product ID, and generates desired product information in which the ID, the product name set in the favorite owned product information, and the catalog ID are set.

  Next, the system control unit 20 registers the desired product information in the auction database 102 in association with the member ID of the user who requested the exhibition (step S83).

  Next, the system control unit 20 additionally sets the member ID of the user who requested the exhibition in the exhibition request related information of the specified favorite owned product information (step S84).

  Next, the system control unit 20 adds 1 to the number of exhibition requests set in the exhibition request related information of the specified favorite owned product information, and updates the number of requested exhibitions (step S85).

  Next, the system control unit 20 determines whether or not the end of reminding is set in the exhibition reminding state of the specified favorite owned product information (step S86). At this time, if the end of the remind is set in the exhibition remind state (step S86: YES), the system control unit 20 ends the process when receiving the exhibition request.

  On the other hand, when the end of the remind is not set in the exhibition remind state (step S86: NO), the system control unit 20 then makes an exhibition request for the user who owns the item requested to be exhibited. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than the desired number (step S87). At this time, when the number of requested exhibitions is less than the number of requested exhibition thresholds (step S87: NO), the system control unit 20 ends the process when receiving an exhibition request.

  On the other hand, the system control unit 20 calculates the successful bid market price on the auction site of the product indicated by the identified favorite owned product information when the number of requested listings is equal to or greater than the number of requested listing thresholds (step S87: YES). (Step S88). This calculation method is basically the same as the method in step S27 shown in FIG.

  Next, the system control unit 20 transmits an exhibition remind mail (step S89: step S23 shown in FIG. 8). Specifically, the system control unit 20 indicates that the product name set in the specified favorite-owned product information, that the product is requested to be exhibited by the requester for the product, and that the product is recommended to be exhibited. Message, drop price, URL of my auction page 200, etc. are set in the body of the exhibition notification mail. Then, the system control unit 20 sets the e-mail address set in the member information of the user who owns the item requested to be displayed as the destination of the display remind mail, and transmits the mail.

  Note that the URL of the exhibition information input page 400 for the product requested to be exhibited may be set in the main body of the exhibition remind mail. According to this, after the user terminal 4-k receives the exhibition reminder mail and displays it on the screen, the user selects the URL, so that the exhibition information input page 400 can be directly displayed without going through the my auction page 200. It can be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 4-k.

  Next, if the unreminded state is set in the exhibition reminder state of the specified favorite possessed product information, the system control unit 20 sets the exhibit reminder state during the reminder execution (step S90), and the exhibition request End processing when receiving a request.

  In the above process, if the exhibition reminder status is not the end of the reminder, an exhibition reminder email will be sent. Each time a request is received, an exhibition reminder email is sent.

[3.3 Processing when receiving a reminder exhibition request]
Next, a process for receiving a reminder exhibition request that is started when the auction server 1-2 receives a reminder exhibition request from the user terminal 4-k (step S30 shown in FIG. 8) will be described with reference to FIG. .

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the process of receiving a reminder exhibition request of the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 according to the present embodiment. In the following description, “system control unit 20” simply means “system control unit 20 of auction server 1-2”.

  The system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 that has received the reminder exhibition request from the user terminal 4-k, as shown in FIG. 20, determines the reminder among the favorite possessed items of the user of the user terminal 4-k by session management or the like. The favorite owned product corresponding to the favorite product ID set in the exhibition request is specified, and it is determined whether or not the catalog ID of the favorite product is set in the favorite owned product information (step S101). At this time, when the catalog ID of the favorite product is not set in the favorite-owned product information (step S101: NO), the system control unit 20 acquires the template of the exhibition information input page 400 from the auction database 102. (Step S102), the process proceeds to step S109.

  On the other hand, when the catalog ID of the favorite product is set in the favorite-owned product information (step S101: YES), the system control unit 20 transmits a catalog information request to the shopping server 1-1 and also performs the shopping. The catalog information transmitted from the server 1-1 is received (step S103).

  Next, the system control unit 20 acquires a template of the exhibition information input page 400 from the auction database 102 (step S104).

  Next, the system control unit 20 sets the genre information set in the catalog information in the genre name display area 421 of the acquired template (step S105).

  Next, the system control unit 20 sets the catalog ID set in the specified favorite owned product information in the catalog ID display area 431 of the acquired template (step S106).

  Next, the system control unit 20 sets the product name set in the identified favorite owned product information in the product name input area 441 of the acquired template (step S107).

  Next, the system control unit 20 sets the product summary information and product specification information set in the catalog information in the explanation input area 461 of the acquired template (step S108).

  Next, the system control unit 20 calculates a successful bid market price on the auction site of the commodity to be listed, and sets the successful bid market price in the template start price setting area 471 (step S109). The basic calculation method of the successful bid market price is the same as the calculation method in step S27 shown in FIG.

  Next, the system control unit 20 sets other necessary information in the template and generates the exhibition information input page 400 (step S110).

  Next, the system control unit 20 transmits the generated exhibition information input page 400 to the user terminal 4-k (step S111), and ends the process when the recommended exhibition request is received.

[3.4 Exhibition Notification Control Process]
Next, the exhibition notification control process will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the exhibition notification control process of the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 according to the present embodiment. In the following description, “system control unit 20” simply means “system control unit 20 of auction server 1-2”.

  The exhibition notification control process is a process executed periodically (for example, once a day, once a month, etc.) in the auction server 1-2.

  When the process is started, as shown in FIG. 21, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 identifies one of all users who can use the commodity transaction system S (step S51).

  Next, the system control unit 20 specifies one item of product information that the specified user wants to be registered in the auction server 1-2 (step S52).

  Next, the system control unit 20 determines whether or not the catalog ID of the desired product is set in the specified desired product information (step S53).

  At this time, when the catalog ID of the desired product is set in the specified desired product information (step S53: YES), the system control unit 20 performs a predetermined period (for example, the exhibition notification control process is performed on a day 1). If it is performed once, the catalog ID is searched for the auction of the product indicated by the specified desired product information among the auctions started on the day before the day on which the processing is performed (step S54).

  Specifically, the system control unit 20 has a catalog of products for which the auction start date and time is within a predetermined period and the catalog ID of the displayed products is desired among the exhibition information registered in the auction server 1-2. Search for exhibition information that matches the ID. After completing this process, the system control unit 20 proceeds to step S56.

  On the other hand, when the catalog ID of the desired product is not set in the specified desired product information (step S53: NO), the system control unit 20 wants to be specified from among the auctions started during a predetermined period. The auction for the product indicated by the product information is searched by keyword (step S55).

  Specifically, the system control unit 20 uses the product name of the desired product as a keyword, and among the exhibition information registered in the auction server 1-2, the auction start date and time is within a predetermined period and the item has been exhibited. Search for exhibition information in which the keyword is included in the product name or product description of the product. After completing this process, the system control unit 20 proceeds to step S56.

  Next, the system control unit 20 determines in step S56 whether one or more auctions have been searched. At this time, if no auction is searched (step S56: NO), the system control unit 20 proceeds to step S60.

  On the other hand, when one or more auctions are searched, the system control unit 20 calculates the successful bid market price on the auction site of the product indicated by the specified product information (step S57). This calculation method is basically the same as the method in step S27 shown in FIG.

  Next, the system control unit 20 transmits an exhibition notification mail (step S58: step S39 shown in FIG. 9). Specifically, the system control unit 20 sets the product name set in the specified desired product information, an excerpt of the searched exhibition information, a message that recommends that the product is to be exhibited, the drop market price, the searched auction The URL of the exhibition product detail page is set in the body of the exhibition notification mail. Then, the system control unit 20 sets the e-mail address set in the specified user member information as the destination of the exhibition notification mail, and transmits the mail.

  Next, the system control unit 20 additionally sets the product name and auction ID of the searched exhibition information as the desired product auction information in the specified desired product information (step S59).

  Next, the system control unit 20 determines whether or not an exhibition notification process has been performed for all the product information desired by the identified user (step S60). That is, the system control unit 20 determines whether or not at least step S53 of steps S53 to S59 has been performed for all the product information desired by the specified user. At this time, when there is product information that the user wants not to perform the exhibition notification process (step S60: NO), the system control unit 20 does not want to perform the exhibition notification process among the specified product information desired by the user. The next desired product information is specified from the product information (step S61), and the process proceeds to step S53. That is, the system control unit 20 performs an exhibition notification process for all the product information desired by the identified user.

  Then, the system control unit 20 performs an exhibition notification process for all the product information desired by the specified user (step S60: YES), and then determines whether or not the exhibition notification process has been performed for all users ( Step S62). At this time, when there is a user who has not performed the exhibition notification process (step S62: NO), the system control unit 20 specifies the next user from among the users who have not performed the exhibition notification process (step S63). ), The process proceeds to step S52. That is, the system control unit 20 performs an exhibition notification process for all users who can use the commodity transaction system S.

  And system control part 20 will end exhibition notice control processing, if exhibition notice processing is performed about all users (Step S62: YES).

  In the above description, the system control unit 20 regularly performs the exhibition notification process. However, for example, the exhibition control process may be performed every time an exhibition on the auction site is performed. In this case, the system control unit 20, for example, out of all desired product information of all users registered in the auction database 102, the catalog ID of the desired product is the catalog ID set in the registered exhibition information What is necessary is just to search the merchandise information which wants to match, and to perform the exhibition pass process with respect to the user of the merchandise information searched for.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the auction database 102 that stores favorite owned product information about favorite products owned by the user in association with each user who can use the auction site is provided. The system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 transmits a profile page 1000 that displays a favorite list in response to a request from the user terminal 4-k, and receives the profile page 1000 from the user terminal 4-k. From the list of items held by the user whose profile is displayed on the profile page 1000, a request for listing the item selected by the user who requested the listing is received, and the favorite possessed item of the item requested to be listed Information is set in the request for exhibition An item that is identified by the member ID and the favorite item ID that are registered, identifies the user to whom the favorite owned item information corresponds, notifies the user that the item has been requested to be listed, and recommends listing When sending a reminder mail, setting the exhibition reminder state of the favorite owned product information during reminding, and sending the my auction page 200 including the list display area 1100 that has it, the item requested to be exhibited Those having an exhibition button 1136 are embedded in the list display area 1100.

  Therefore, these notifications allow the user to recognize that there is a demand for the product he owns, thus increasing the user's willingness to sell the product and thereby promoting the listing on the auction site. can do.

  In addition, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 receives a remind exhibition request from the user terminal 4-k, registers the exhibition information regarding the item to be exhibited in the auction database 102, and displays the exhibition information. The page 500 is transmitted in response to a request from the user terminal 4-k. At this time, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 uses the catalog ID of the favorite-owned merchandise information corresponding to the favorite merchandise ID set in the remind merchandise request to store the catalog information of the merchandise to be listed on the shopping server 1-. The exhibition information that is acquired from 1 and includes at least one of the product summary information and the product specification information indicated in the catalog information as a product description is registered.

  Accordingly, the catalog information of the product owned by the user is specified by the catalog ID set in the favorite-owned product information, and when listing this product, as an explanation of the product to be disclosed to other users, Since the registered catalog information can be used, it is possible to save the trouble of inputting a description of the product at the time of exhibition. In addition, objective information such as product specifications can be used in the product description of the product to be exhibited. Furthermore, since information related to the auction of the products that the user has may be input at the time of listing, other users can identify the products that they own when registering what they have. Thus, it is sufficient that the product name is input at a minimum, and it is not necessary to input detailed information regarding the auction.

  Further, when the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 registers the exhibition information, the user terminal used by the user corresponding to the desired product information including the same catalog ID as the catalog ID included in the exhibition information. In 4-k, an exhibition notification e-mail notifying that the product indicated by the desired product information has been sent is transmitted to the user, and the desired product auction information is additionally set in the desired product information, and the desired list When transmitting the my auction page 200 including the registration area 800, the auction information display area 824 is embedded in the desired list registration area 800.

  Therefore, since the listing requester who requested the listing of the product is notified that the product has been listed, the bidding on the auction site is promoted, and as a result, the bidding is expected. Thus, listing on the auction site will be promoted.

  The system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 receives the desired product information from the user terminal 4-k, registers the desired product information including the desired product information in the auction database 102, and registers the exhibition information. In this case, an exhibition notification mail is transmitted to a user registered as desired product information regarding the product indicated by the exhibition information, or an auction information display area 824 is embedded in the desired list registration area 800. Here, when the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 receives an exhibition request, the desired product information is registered as the product for which the item requested for exhibition is desired.

  Therefore, even if the user who requested the listing does not list the requested product, if another user has listed the same product, the requester can easily recognize that. Instead, the exhibition requester can bid for a desired product that has been exhibited by another user.

  Further, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 generates a my auction page 200 including the list display area 1100 that it has, transmits it in response to a request from the user terminal 4-k, and sends an exhibition request. When received, a list display of my auction page 200 is displayed so that an exhibition button 1136 for transmitting a reminder exhibition request for the product indicated by the favorite owned product information specified based on the exhibition request is displayed. An area 1100 is generated, and a remind exhibition request transmitted from the user terminal 4-k when the exhibition button 1136 is selected by the user is received.

  Therefore, the favorite owned product information regarding the owned product is browsed by the user who owns the product, and when the exhibition button 1136 is selected, the owned product is exhibited. At that time, since the exhibition button 1136 is displayed for the product requested to be exhibited, the product in demand among the products owned by the customer becomes clear, and the product can be exhibited smoothly.

  In addition, when the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 sets the number of requests for the exhibition remind threshold to two or more, at least the exhibition reminder is performed on the product indicated by one favorite owned product information. When it is determined that there is a request for exhibition from a plurality of users set as the desired number of persons or more, an exhibition remind mail is transmitted or an exhibition button 1136 is embedded in the list display area 1100.

  Therefore, when the number of requests for the exhibition remind threshold is set to 2 or more, if the number of users set for the set number is requested, the user who owns the requested product is notified. Therefore, by recognizing that there are multiple demands for the products owned by the user, there is an expectation that multiple bids may be placed if this product is listed. Can be made.

  In the above embodiment, when the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 receives the request for exhibition, it immediately registers the desired product information related to the product requested for listing. Registration may be made when a predetermined period (for example, one week) has elapsed after receiving the request.

  By doing this, the product that requested the listing is not registered as the product desired by the requesting user until a certain period of time has passed since the request for listing was made. If an item is sent to the user, the user who has requested the item is notified only of the desired item from this user. Therefore, since the product submitted by the user who requested the listing is subject to bidding in preference to other users, the inconvenience of receiving a notification of the listing request but not being bid is prevented. be able to. On the other hand, after a certain period of time has passed, the product that requested the listing is registered as the desired product, so that when the product is listed by other users, the user who requested the listing is notified, Even if the user who requested the listing did not list, the user who requested the listing can obtain the desired product from the other users.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the system control part 20 of the auction server 1-2 received the exhibition request, it registered the desired product information, but this registration does not need to be performed. Even in this case, since the member ID of the user who requested the exhibition is registered in the exhibition request related information of the favorite owned product information, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 registers the exhibition information, for example. When this is done, the user who requested the exhibition is identified from the member ID, and a process of notifying the user that the requested product has been exhibited may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the desired number of exhibition reminder thresholds is set for each user. However, for example, a threshold value of 1 may be maintained for the entire system. In this case, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 may perform the exhibition remind process by comparing the threshold value of 1 with the number of people who want to exhibit. The threshold value at this time may be one or more.

  In the above embodiment, the system control unit 20 of the auction server 1-2 embeds the exhibition button 1136 in the list display area 1100 that the my auction page 200 has only for the product for which the exhibition request is received. However, it is also possible to embed the exhibition button 1136 from the beginning for all the items in the items list.

  In the above embodiment, the catalog ID is applied as the specification identification information. However, as long as the specification of the product can be specified, the product name other than the catalog ID, for example, the product name set in the catalog information Or model number. On the other hand, the product name set in the product information that the user wants to input or edit is text information whose contents can be freely determined by the user. Don't be. That is, as the specification identification information, it is necessary to be able to uniquely identify the target product based on the information.
