Description

  The present invention relates to a joint listing recommendation apparatus and method for recommending joint listing with products of other users when listing in an Internet auction.

  In recent years, with the spread of the Internet, auctions on the Internet have been actively used. In an auction on the Internet, information such as product information, the number of items of the product, the current highest bid price, the number of bidders, etc. is posted on an auction site and waits for a bidder to appear. In general, the highest bidder at the end of the auction can win the auction.

  Attempts to increase the usability of Internet auctions have been made from various viewpoints so far. For example, in Patent Document 1, an auction participant is provided by providing a Web page that displays a virtual three-dimensional auction. To give a sense of realism like a real auction.

JP 2009-252117 A

  By the way, it is empirically known that in an Internet auction, a specific product is sold as a set, and a successful bid is made at a higher price than individual listing. For example, in addition to a product set that combines the same type of products such as a full-length comic book set and a trading card set, it is a product set that combines various products such as an outing-free set consisting of instant food, beverages, and game software. However, there are cases where individual products that make up the product set are each sold and sold at a price higher than the total of successful bids.

  There are many such product sets, and the seller may not be aware, and even if the seller notices the existence of the product set, there is no need to add the missing product if it is not enough for your own product Annoyingly, listings as a product set have not been performed.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is possible to make a successful bid at a high price by recommending joint listing with other users' products when listing in an Internet auction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a joint listing recommendation device and method for encouraging listings in a product set.
In the following description, a product set that may be sold at a higher price than a case of listing separately by combining listings is referred to as a “high value-added set”.

(1) From a successful bid record stored in a successful bid record DB that stores a successful bid record of the Internet auction , which is a joint exhibit recommendation device that recommends joint listing with other users' products when listing in an Internet auction , Comparing the successful bid results of each of a plurality of products with the successful bid results of a product set combining the plurality of products, and when the product set is awarded at a higher price, the product set is A high-value-added set registration means for registering in the high-value-added set DB as a high-value-added set consisting of combinations, an exhibition acceptance means for accepting an exhibition request for goods from an exhibitor, and the products accepted by the exhibition acceptance means ; By comparing the products constituting the high-value-added set read from the high-value-added set DB, the quotient By combining the high value-added set determination means for determining whether or not the product is part of the high value-added set and the other sellers who wish to exhibit in the Internet auction, the product of the seller A joint exhibitor candidate specifying means for specifying a user exhibiting a product that constitutes a high added value set as a joint exhibitor candidate, information indicating the high added value set to the exhibitor, and the joint exhibit And a joint exhibitor recommending means for notifying information indicating candidate candidates.

According to the joint exhibition recommendation device of (1), the high value-added set determination means determines whether or not the product scheduled to be exhibited by the seller is a part of the high value-added set stored in the high value-added set DB. judge. At this time, if it is a part of the high value-added set, the joint exhibitor candidate specifying means selects the user who is selling the product that constitutes the high value-added set by combining with the seller's product. The joint seller candidate is specified as a joint seller candidate, and the joint seller recommendation means notifies the seller of information indicating the high added value set and information indicating the joint seller candidate.
The seller can select the user to actually co-listen among the co-seller candidates based on the notified information, and as a result, the seller can independently exhibit by co-selling with other users. High value-added sets that cannot be made can be easily put on the Internet auction, and a higher winning bid can be obtained than when each user puts up alone.

In addition, according to the joint exhibition recommendation device of (1), the high added value set is registered from the successful bid results, that is, the successful bid price as the product set is compared with the successful bid result of the product set and the successful bid result of the single product. If is high, the set is registered as a high value-added set. This makes it possible to recommend joint listing even for high value-added sets that are difficult for the exhibitor to notice.

( 2 ) The high value-added set determination unit is configured to determine the high value-added when the product received by the exhibition receiving unit is a predetermined number or more of a plurality of products constituting the high value-added set. The joint exhibition recommendation device according to (1) , which is determined to be a part of the set.

According to the joint exhibition recommendation device of ( 2 ), when only a very small part of the products that make up the high-value-added set is listed, the joint seller candidate is not recommended. Does not feel annoying.

(3) upon the exhibition to the Internet auction, a co-exhibitor recommended method for recommending a joint exhibition of the goods of other users, computers, said from the Internet auction of the successful bid track record that has been stored in the successful track record DB, multiple Compare the successful bid results of each product with the successful bid results of the product set combining the plurality of products, and when the product set is awarded at a higher price, the product set is a high combination of the plurality of products. and a registration step of registering in the high-value-added set DB as a value-added set, the computer, and the acceptance step of accepting the exhibition request of goods from the seller, the computer, said the product has been accepted, the high-value-added set DB By comparing each product that makes up the high value-added set read from A determination step of determining whether or not a part of the product is the high-value-added sets of other users who wish to Sell the Internet auction, the high value-added by combining the products of the seller A specific step in which the computer identifies a user exhibiting a product that constitutes a set as a joint seller candidate, and information indicating the high value-added set and the joint seller candidate are indicated to the seller. joint exhibition recommended way you are and the notification step, including Nde a to notify the information the computer.

According to the method of ( 3 ), the same effect as the joint exhibition recommendation device of (1) can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, a high value-added set that an exhibitor cannot exhibit alone can be listed in an Internet auction.

It is a block diagram which shows the function structure of the joint exhibition recommendation apparatus of this invention. It is a figure which shows high added value set DB. It is a figure which shows joint exhibition applicant DB. It is a figure which shows the specific example of the joint exhibition function of a joint exhibition recommendation apparatus. It is a figure which shows successful bid results DB. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a joint exhibition recommendation process. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a high value added set process.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[Composition of joint exhibition recommendation device 1]
First, with reference to FIG. 1, the structure of the joint exhibition recommendation apparatus 1 of this invention is demonstrated.
The joint listing recommendation device 1 includes a joint listing function 10 that recommends listing of a high-value-added set by a plurality of exhibitors, and a high-value-added set identifying function 20 that identifies a high-value-added set from successful bid results.

[Joint exhibition function 10]
In order to realize the joint listing function 10, the joint listing recommendation device 1 includes a listing receiving unit 11, a high added value set determining unit 12, a high added value set DB 13, a joint exhibitor candidate specifying unit 14, and a joint listing request. DB 15, joint exhibitor recommendation means 16, and joint exhibition means 17.

  The exhibition acceptance means 11 accepts an exhibition request for a product from an exhibitor. Here, in the present embodiment, an individual ID is assigned to each product traded in the Internet auction, and management in product units is possible. And the exhibition reception means 11 is supposed to receive the exhibition request from the exhibitor for each individual product. Specifically, when the exhibitor sells comic books 1 to 4, the exhibition accepting means 11 does not accept a set of 1 to 4 volumes as one exhibition, We accept individual listings for each volume, 3 volumes, 4 volumes and products.

The high added value set determination unit 12 determines whether or not the product received by the exhibition receiving unit 11 is a part of the high added value set stored in the high added value set DB 13.
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the high value-added set DB 13 associates the IDs of the individual commodities constituting the high value-added set, the names of the high value-added sets, the average successful bid price, and the like for each high value-added set ID. I remember.
The high added value set determination means 12 determines whether or not the product ID received by the exhibition reception means 11 is a part of the individual product ID stored in the high added value set DB 13. 11 determines whether the received product is part of the high value-added set.

The joint exhibitor candidate specifying means 14 refers to the joint exhibitor candidate DB 15 and constitutes a high added value set by combining with the exhibitor's product among other users who wish to exhibit in the Internet auction. The user who is exhibiting the product is identified as a joint exhibitor candidate.
Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the joint listing applicant DB 15 associates the user ID (other users) with the product ID, the product name, and the evaluation of the user on the Internet auction that the user has submitted. The user evaluation etc. which are are memorize | stored. Note that the users stored in the joint listing applicant DB 15 include users who have already exhibited products on the Internet auction, and scheduled users who are waiting for listing because they are not high-value-added sets.

The joint exhibitor recommendation means 16 notifies the exhibitor of information indicating a high added value set and information indicating a joint exhibitor candidate. “Information indicating a high value-added set” includes, in addition to the contents of the high value-added set (for example, a full-volume comic set, etc.), the difference in product unit price between the case of listing as a set and the case of listing individually . In addition, in the “information indicating the candidate for joint seller”, the joint seller candidate, the product that the joint seller candidate is exhibiting (scheduled), the product that is duplicated when it is jointly listed (remaining), and the joint seller candidate Evaluation is included.
When the information indicating the high value-added set and the information indicating the joint exhibitor candidate are notified, the exhibitor refers to the information and selects a user who actually jointly exhibits from the joint exhibitor candidates.

  The joint exhibition means 17 performs joint exhibition between the user selected by the exhibitor and the exhibitor, that is, exhibits the high added value set in the Internet auction.

  In the above, each means for realizing the joint exhibition function 10 has been described. Next, taking a case where Mr. A (exhibitor) exhibits “Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10” of “XX story” as an example, the joint exhibition function 10 is specifically described. This will be described (FIG. 4).

A1: The exhibition acceptance means 11 accepts an item exhibition request from Mr. A.
A2: The high value-added set determination unit 12 refers to the high value-added set DB 13 and determines whether the product of Mr. A is part of the high value-added set. Here, referring to FIG. 2, the high added value set “A01” is “XX story whole volume (1-10 volume) set”, and the product exhibited by Mr. A is the high added value set “A01”. Part of it (5 or 7 volumes are not enough). Therefore, the high added value set determination means 12 determines that the product exhibited by Mr. A is a part of the high added value set “A01”.

  A3: Subsequently, the joint exhibitor candidate specifying means 14 refers to the joint listing applicant DB 15 and selects products that constitute a high value-added set by combining with the products exhibited by Mr. A (exhibitor). Identify users who are exhibiting. Here, among the joint listing applicants, Mr. B's products are 2, 5 volumes, so even if combined with Mr. A's products, the high added value set “A01” is not configured. On the other hand, the products exhibited by Mr. C, Mr. D, and Mr. E are products that become a high added value set “A01” when combined with the products of Mr. A. Therefore, the joint exhibitor candidate specifying means 14 specifies Mr. C, Mr. D, and Mr. E as joint exhibitor candidates, and does not specify Mr. B as a joint exhibitor candidate.

A4: Subsequently, the co-exhibitor recommendation means 16 notifies Mr. A of information related to the co-exhibitor candidate, for example, the evaluation of the duplicate product and the co-exhibitor candidate's evaluation on the Internet auction when co-exhibiting. To do. For Mr. A, the smaller the number of overlapping products, the better, and the higher the evaluation, the more secure.
Although omitted in the figure, in the present embodiment, information indicating the high added value set is also notified to Mr. A at this time.

  A5: Subsequently, the joint exhibitor 17 accepts the selection of the joint exhibitor from Mr. A, and the joint display means 17 performs the display of the high added value set. In the figure, Mr. D who has few duplicate products and has a high evaluation is selected, and A and D are jointly exhibiting.

  Thus, the exhibitor (Mr. A) selects the user (Mr. D) who actually exhibits jointly from the co-seller candidates (Ms. C, D, and E) based on the notified information. As a result, by jointly exhibiting with another user (Mr. D), a high-value-added set that cannot be independently exhibited by the exhibitor (Mr. A) can be exhibited in the Internet auction.

[High-value-added set identification function 20]
Returning to FIG. 1, the high added value set specifying function 20 of the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 will be described.
In order to realize the high added value set specifying function 20, the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 includes a high added value set registration unit 21 and a successful bid result DB 22.

The high added value set registration means 21 detects the high added value set with reference to the successful bid result DB 22 and registers it in the high added value set DB 13.
Here, the successful bid result DB 22 stores the average successful bid price of the product in association with the product ID as shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 5, the average successful bid price for each of “XX story (Volume 1)” to “XXX story (Volume 10)” is “80 yen”, whereas “XXX story (1) The average successful bid price for “-10 volumes” is “1000 yen”. For this reason, “Monogatari” can be expected to have a high winning price of “200 yen (20 yen in terms of product price)” by setting 1 volume to 10 volumes together and exhibiting them. In such a case, the high value-added set registration means 21 detects “xxx story (1-10 volumes)” as a high value-added set and registers it in the high value-added set DB 13. That is, the high value-added set registration means 21 compares the successful bid results (total price or product unit price) of the product set with the successful bid results (total price or product price) of a plurality of products, and the successful bid price as the product set is higher. In this case, the product set is registered as a high added value set. In addition, it is good also as judging that a successful bid price is high when 1 yen is high, and it is good also as judging that a successful bid price is high only when the total amount or goods unit price is higher than a predetermined ratio.

  In this way, since the high value-added set registration means 21 automatically registers the high value-added set from the past successful bid results, it is possible to recommend joint listing even for the high value-added set that is difficult for the exhibitor to notice. it can.

[Hardware configuration of joint exhibition recommendation device 1]
The hardware of the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 described above can be configured by a general computer. For example, a general computer includes a central processing unit (CPU) as a control unit, and a memory (RAM, ROM), a hard disk (HDD), and an optical disk (CD, DVD, etc.) as a storage unit, and a network communication device. Various wired and wireless LAN devices as display devices, for example, various displays such as liquid crystal displays and plasma displays, and as input devices, for example, keyboards and pointing devices (mouse, tracking ball, etc.) Are connected by a bus line. In such a general computer, the CPU controls the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 in an integrated manner, reads and executes various programs as appropriate, thereby cooperating with the hardware described above, and various functions according to the present invention. Is realized.

[Processing of joint exhibition recommendation device 1]
Next, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, processing of the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 will be described. The flowchart shown in FIG. 6 shows the joint exhibition recommendation process performed by the exhibition request from the exhibitor, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 shows the high added value set specifying process performed at a predetermined cycle.

[Joint listing recommendation process]
S1: First, the exhibition acceptance means 11 accepts an exhibition request from the exhibitor for each product that the exhibitor exhibits.
S2: Subsequently, the high added value set determination means 12 determines whether or not the received product is the high added value set itself. At this time, if it is the high added value set itself, the product received from the exhibitor is sent as it is (S9).
S3: On the other hand, if it is not the high added value set itself, the high added value set determination means 12 determines whether or not it is a part of the high added value set. At this time, if it is not part of the high value-added set, the product received from the seller is sent as it is (S9).
S4: On the other hand, if it is part of the high value-added set, the joint listing recommendation device 1 accepts a selection from the exhibitor as to whether or not joint listing with other users is desired. At this time, if the exhibitor does not desire joint listing, the product received from the exhibitor is listed as it is (S9).

S5: On the other hand, when the exhibitor desires joint listing, the joint exhibitor candidate specifying unit 14 extracts a product that is not sufficient for the seller's product from among the products constituting the high added value set.
S6: Subsequently, the joint exhibitor candidate specifying unit 14 determines whether or not there is a joint exhibitor candidate that is exhibiting (to be listed) the extracted missing product. At this time, if there is no joint seller candidate, the product received from the seller is sent as it is (S9).
S7: On the other hand, the joint exhibitor recommendation means 16 notifies the exhibitor of information related to the joint exhibitor candidate when the joint exhibitor candidate exists.
S8: Subsequently, the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 accepts the selection of the joint exhibitor from the exhibitor.
S9: Subsequently, the joint exhibition means 17 performs joint exhibition by the exhibitor and the selected joint exhibitor.

[High-value-added set identification processing]
S11 to S13: The high value-added set registration means 21 compares the successful bid results between the individual product and the product set (S11). If the successful bid price of the product set is higher (YES in S12), this product set Are identified as a high added value set and registered in the high added value set DB 13 (S13). On the other hand, if the successful bid price of the individual product is higher or if there is no difference between the two successful bid prices (NO in S12), the high added value set registration means 21 ends the process.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above. The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are only the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.

  In the above embodiment, each product is assigned an individual ID, and the product is managed individually to determine whether the product exhibited by the seller is a part of the high value-added set. Is not something For example, it is good also as determining whether it is a part of a high added value set from description of goods contained in the exhibition request from an exhibitor, without attaching individual ID for every goods. Specifically, the product description is text-analyzed, and for example, it is determined that 5 and 7 volumes are missing from the product description such as “XX story (5, 7 volumes missing)”. It is good also as determining whether it is a part.

  In the above-described embodiment, only the joint exhibition by the exhibitor and another user has been described as an example. However, the number of the joint exhibition is not limited to two, and may be three or more. In this case, the joint exhibitor recommendation means 16 notifies the exhibitor that, for example, the high value-added set can be exhibited by jointly exhibiting with 3 people.

  Further, the criteria for determining that the seller's product is a part of the high-value-added set can be arbitrarily set by the high-value-added set determining means 12, and the seller's product can be set to the high-value-added set It is good also as determining that it is a part of a high value-added set only when it is a predetermined number or more of the some goods which comprise. For example, regarding the high value-added set “XX story whole volume set (1-10 volumes)”, if the exhibitor exhibits “XX story (1 volume)”, it is determined that it is not part of the high value added set. In the case where the exhibitor exhibits “XX story (Volume 1 to Volume 5)”, it may be determined that the exhibitor is part of the high value-added set. Note that the ratio of “a predetermined number or more of products” in the high value-added set may be set differently for each high value-added set.

  Further, the joint exhibitor recommendation means 16 recommends all users who exhibit products that become high-value-added sets by combining with the seller's products as joint exhibitor candidates. It may be recommended as a joint exhibitor candidate. Some users can be set arbitrarily. For example, only users with few overlapping products or users with a certain rating or more may be recommended. In addition, the criteria of some users may be set for all users by the administrator of the joint exhibition recommendation device 1 or may be set by each user individually.
