<Overview of operation>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an outline of the operation in this system.

  With reference to FIG. 3, store PC200 will output them with respect to the server 100, if the input of store information and the input of merchandise information are received from a user (step S1, S2). The server 100 stores these pieces of information.

  Store information includes store name, address, delivery area as delivery range, delivery conditions such as delivery fee for the total purchase amount, delivery time such as delivery time zone for each ordering time zone, etc. Contains information. Store information including these pieces of information may be initially set in the store PC 200 and registered in the server 100 as an initial setting when the store PC 200 is registered in the system, or may be stored in the server 100 from the store PC 200 at a predetermined timing such as every day or every month. 100 may be sent to update the registration.

  Product information includes product names as information for identifying products, attributes such as product types and contents, prices such as sales price and unit price, sales units such as the weight of one product and the number of products, manufacturers, and producers And production area of the region where it was manufactured. In addition, for example, production date and time, expiration date (expiration date), and the like may be included. Product information including these pieces of information is input to the store PC 200 for each product and transmitted to the server 100. The merchandise information is transmitted from the store PC 200 to the server 100, for example, every morning, every predetermined time, or when the merchandise is ready for sale at the store.

  When receiving the initial setting input and the shopping list input from the user, the information terminal 300 transmits these to the server 100 (steps S3 and S4).

  Initial settings include user information including user name, address, telephone number, etc., setting of stores to be used, setting of presentation conditions, setting of settlement methods (credit card information, etc.) for each store, and delivery Including time settings (on the day, the next day, etc.).

  At the time of setting the store to be used, for example, the server 100 compares the delivery area of each store included in the store information registered from the store PC 200 with the address of the user input from the information terminal 300, and A store whose address is within the delivery area may be extracted and presented on the information terminal 300, and a store selection may be received from the extracted store.

  The presentation condition refers to a parameter for determining the priority of presentation when a plurality of products are extracted for the same product as a result of the extraction process described later in the server 100. For example, a price (lowest order, etc.), a production area (close order, etc.), a production date and time (new order, etc.) are applicable.

  Here, the “same product” does not necessarily have to be exactly the same product (product name, place of production, etc.), and may be a product with the same attributes and sales unit.

  Furthermore, the initial setting may include adjustment product settings. The adjustment product refers to a product designated in advance as a product that can be added in order for the total amount of money for the store to satisfy the delivery condition set by the store. For example, the adjustment product is used for adjustment so that the total amount of the product to be purchased specified in the shopping list, which will be described later, does not reach the delivery condition that the shipping fee is free. How to use, such as adding products.

  By setting the adjustment product as an initial setting, it is not necessary to set the adjustment product every time a shopping list described later is input, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  The initial setting including these settings may be performed when the user registers in the system, or the setting may be changed thereafter.

  The shopping list indicates information including information for specifying a product that the user desires to purchase. The information for specifying a product desired to be purchased is, for example, a product name or attribute, and may include a purchase amount (number), a production area, or the like.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a specific example of a screen for inputting a shopping list displayed on the information terminal 300.

  In the input screen of FIG. 4, for example, when the information terminal 300 accesses a shopping website provided by the server 100 and inputs login information such as a user name and password from a login screen (not shown), the authentication is successful. Is displayed on the information terminal 300.

  For details, referring to FIG. 4, on the shopping list input screen, as an example, the “item” column for inputting the name of the product desired to be purchased, the input to the item column, the category classification, registration history, “Select” button to enable input by selecting by search, etc., “Condition” button to enable input of attribute conditions such as price and place of production for each product desired to be purchased In order to request the server 100 for a pull-down for increasing the number of items of products desired to be purchased, a “file input” button for reading a shopping list previously input as text, and a shopping support list described later. The "List display" button is included.

  When the user presses the “list display” button on the input screen of FIG. 4, the shopping list is confirmed and transmitted from the information terminal 300 to the server 100.

  The server 100 that has received the shopping list extracts a product corresponding to the product specified in the shopping list from the product information registered by each store PC 200 (step S5). Then, the server 100 specifies a product to be presented from the extracted products based on the initially set presentation conditions and the like (step S6). Here, when a plurality of products are extracted for the same product, the product to be presented or the order of presentation is specified according to the presentation condition or the like.

  For example, when the presentation condition is the one with the cheapest price, the server 100 identifies the product that presents the product with the lowest price from among the plurality of extracted products. In this case, the server 100 selects and presents the corresponding product (the product with the lowest price) one by one for each product specified in the shopping list.

  Further, for example, when the presentation conditions are in ascending order of price, the server 100 specifies the order of presentation in ascending order of the price of the plurality of extracted products. In this case, the server 100 arranges and presents products extracted in ascending order of price for each product specified in the shopping list.

  Furthermore, the server 100 may specify the presentation order in consideration of the registration time (new arrival order) in the store PC 200, the purchase history of the user, and the like in addition to the set presentation conditions.

  In addition, the server 100 compares the product information registered from each store PC 200 for the same product, and the product with a higher discount rate than other stores has a display mode (color, size, mark, etc.) different from other products. ) To specify the display mode for the product.

  The server 100 transmits the product information of the product specified for each specified in the shopping list to the information terminal 300 (step S7). At this time, when a plurality of products are extracted for the same product as described above, the server 100 also transmits the specified presentation order to the information terminal 300. When the display mode is specified as described above, the server 100 also transmits the information to the information terminal 300.

  The information terminal 300 that has received the product information displays on the screen a shopping support list that presents the product based on the product information from the server 100 (step S8).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a shopping support list displayed on the information terminal 300. In this example, there is an example in which a condition is set such that a plurality of products are presented when a plurality of the same products are extracted, for example, when a price is set in ascending order. It is shown.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, in the shopping support list, for each product specified in the shopping list in FIG. 4, the corresponding product is presented in the order of presentation specified by server 100. As an example, as shown in the figure, each product specified in the shopping support list is arranged and presented in the vertical direction, and a plurality of products extracted in the order of presentation for each product are arranged and presented in the horizontal direction. Is done.

  The product may be presented by presenting an image. The image image may be included in the product information from the store PC 200, or is registered in the server 100 in advance, and the corresponding image image is extracted by the server 100 based on the product information from the store PC 200. It may be transmitted to the terminal 300.

  Further, the product may be presented by other information included in the product information such as a product name, a price, and a store name in addition to or instead of the image.

  The shopping support list further displays a “decision” button for instructing the decision of a product to be purchased.

  In the case of the example of FIG. 5, each product is presented to be selectable. The information terminal 300 accepts selection of a product to be purchased by the user checking it. When a product is selected and the “OK” button is pressed, the information terminal 300 instructs the server 100 to purchase the product selected as the product to be purchased (step S9).

  In addition, when the presentation condition is set to the product with the lowest price, such as when one corresponding product is to be presented from a plurality of identical products, the shopping support list Then, one corresponding product is presented for each product specified in the shopping list of FIG. In this case, the information terminal 300 instructs the server 100 to purchase the presented product by pressing the “OK” button.

  The server 100 having received the instruction may perform adjustment processing for optimizing the selected product. Optimization is, for example, that the total amount for each store satisfies the delivery conditions set for the store, the delivery time of the product to be purchased matches the delivery time specified by the user, or the total amount is the lowest price It corresponds to selecting a product.

  For example, when the minimum price at which no delivery fee is generated is set as the delivery condition, the server 100 performs the adjustment process when the total amount of each store satisfies the delivery condition of the store. Absent. When there is a store that does not satisfy the delivery conditions, the server 100 extracts the product for adjustment from the products registered in the store as the adjustment process, identifies the product that reaches the lowest price from among them, Propose to add the product to the product you purchase. As another method of using the adjustment product, when there is a store that sufficiently satisfies the delivery condition, the server 100 may suggest changing the product of the store to a product that does not satisfy the delivery condition.

  Further, for example, as an adjustment process, the server 100 searches for a product that is the same as the product selected from the registered products and is cheaper than that, and if there is a corresponding product, Propose to change the selected product to a cheaper product.

  Also, for example, if there is a product that does not match the delivery time specified by the user in the selected product, the server 100 is the same product as the product out of the products registered as the adjustment process, and the user's It proposes to extract a product that matches the specified delivery time and change the selected product to that product.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the shopping support list after the adjustment processing. When the shopping support list of FIG. 5 is displayed on the information terminal 300 to select a product to be purchased and the determination button is pressed, the server 100 performs the above adjustment process. Then, when there is a product to be proposed instead of or in addition to the product selected by the adjustment process, the server 100 switches the screen of the information terminal 300 to the screen of FIG.

  In the screen of FIG. 6, the product (product A1) of the store B selected by the user is changed to the same product (product A4) of the store A, and the product E of the store A is selected from the products registered as adjustment products. It has been proposed to add. At this time, a plurality of products may be presented as products to be changed or added, and the information terminal 300 may accept the user's selection from among them.

  Furthermore, the total amount and the delivery fee for each store may be presented on the screen of FIG. In addition, the total amount and delivery time may be presented.

  The screen shown in FIG. 6 further displays a “decision” button for instructing the decision of the product to be purchased. When the “OK” button is pressed, the information terminal 300 instructs the server 100 to purchase the product selected as the product to be purchased.

  At this time, the server 100 may present all the selected products on the information terminal 300 and accept the user's final instruction. At this time, the server 100 may be configured to present the product by classifying the display for each store, may be configured to present the product by classifying the display for each delivery time, or a settlement method (credit (Payment, cash payment, etc.) The product may be presented by dividing the display.

  Further, the server 100 may present a product related to the selected product as a recommended product and accept the addition. As an example, this is realized by the server 100 associating a product with a keyword such as a menu or a category in advance and extracting a product associated with the same keyword as the selected product.

  Receiving the above instruction, the server 100 notifies each store of the product name and quantity to be purchased, and performs a settlement process (step S10). Here, the server 100 performs a process for paying the total amount for each store using a payment method (such as credit card information) set in advance for each store by the user. Specific processing for settlement is the same as normal settlement processing, and is not limited to a specific processing method.

<Functional configuration>

<Operation flow>
8 and 9 are flowcharts showing a specific example of the flow of operations in the server 100. FIG. The operations shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9 are realized by causing the CPU 10 of the server 100 to read out and execute the program stored in the ROM 11 on the RAM 12 and execute the functions shown in FIG. Is done.

  Referring to FIG. 8, when product information is received from each store PC 200 (YES in step S101), CPU 10 of server 100 registers product information for each store (step S103).

When login is requested from the user information terminal 300 (YES in step S105), the CPU 10 performs login processing using the input user information and the like (step S107). If the login is successful, the CPU 10 transmits an input screen for inputting a shopping list to the information terminal 300 (step S109), and waits for input of the shopping list. As a result, an input screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the information terminal 300.
If the login is unsuccessful, the CPU 10 may transmit a new registration screen to the information terminal 300 to prompt the user for new registration or prompt the user to input presentation conditions.

  When the shopping list is received from the information terminal 300 (YES in step S111), the CPU 10 searches the registered product information and extracts the product corresponding to the product specified in the shopping list (step S113).

  At this time, when a plurality of products corresponding to the same product specified in the shopping list are extracted, the CPU 10 presents the products to be presented from the plurality of products based on the presentation conditions registered in advance for the user. Or the order of presentation is specified (step S115). And CPU10 produces | generates the shopping assistance list | wrist which shows the goods (or goods group) applicable to each goods designated by the shopping list, and transmits with respect to the information terminal 300 (step S117). As a result, a shopping support list screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the information terminal 300.

  Next, referring to FIG. 9, when the information terminal 300 notifies the determined product along the shopping support list (YES in step S201), the CPU 10 executes adjustment processing (step S203). Specific examples of the adjustment process will be described later. And CPU10 produces | generates the shopping assistance list | wrist after performing an adjustment process, and transmits with respect to the information terminal 300 (step S205). As a result, a shopping support list screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the information terminal 300.

  When the product determined along the shopping support list after performing the adjustment process is notified from the information terminal 300 (YES in step S207), the CPU 10 purchases the product name, quantity, etc. to be purchased from the corresponding store PC 200. And a settlement process are performed (step S209). The settlement process here is the same as the ordinary settlement process, and is not limited to a specific processing method.
