FIG. 3G shows an example of the data structure of the conversion formula management information record generated by the server device 10 and stored in the conversion formula management database 186 and its data. The information on the conversion formula management includes, for example, a field of a conversion formula _Pc to a point related to a cumulative performance, evaluation or priority related to receipt of goods, such as the following formula.

  The conversion formula is, for example, a formula for converting the value of the received goods per recipient and the number of feedback comments into one point for each receiving group in the past. The value of the received goods per recipient may be a negative value. Each one-time comment may be converted into a positive point multiplied by a coefficient such as 100, for example.

  In the conversion formula, the subscript i represents each receipt order number i = 1 to n in a certain period. The unit value of the article may be, for example, the value per article, the value per package of the article, the value per unit weight (g) of the article, or the value per unit volume (cc) of the article. The quantity may be, for example, the number of articles, the number of packages, the weight, or the volume in one receipt. The number of recipients may be the number of recipients registered or registered as the recipient organization information of each recipient organization at the time of receipt. As an alternative, the number of recipients may be the number of recipients who actually receive the goods in each recipient organization at the time of receipt. Therefore, the sum of the values of the received articles per recipient expressed by the sum (Σ) in the above formula is the number of articles per recipient (n times) in a certain period. Represents the total value. Further, the unit value of an article may be expressed by, for example, a price specified by a provider. For example, a unit price of an article, an average unit retail price, an average unit wholesale price, or a certain factor in the price. May be multiplied.

  Further, in the above formula, for the sake of simplicity, the unit value of the article may be 1, and the quantity of the article may be treated as the value of the article. In addition, in the above formula, for the sake of simplicity, the product of the unit value and quantity of a specific article is replaced with the actual number of recipients of the specific article, and the number of receipts per recipient is the value of the article. May be treated. Therefore, the sum total of the value of the received goods per recipient may be calculated based on at least one of the quantity of goods received by each receiving organization, the number of times received, and the price.

  FIG. 3H shows a data structure of a point information record generated by the server device 10 and stored in the point database 188 and an example of the data. The point information includes, for example, a receiving organization ID field and a point field. The points (total) of each receiving organization may be used to determine the priority of the next distribution of goods to each receiving organization. The point database 188 may be updated by the server device 10 periodically, for example, every day. As an alternative, the points of each receiving organization may be calculated each time delivery or receipt of the provided item is completed and stored in the point database 188, or calculated each time the distribution of the provided item is determined. May be stored in the point database 188.

  Next, registration of information regarding the receiving organization and the provider to the server device 10 will be described.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a flowchart executed by the server device 10 for registering information related to receiving groups and receiving conditions.

  The information processing terminals 40 to 46 connect to the server device 10 and register information related to the article provider and provision conditions in accordance with the operation of the person in charge of the article receiving organization.

  In step 502 of FIG. 4, the processor 102 (or the receiving organization information registration unit 1232) of the server device 10 receives information on the receiving organization of the article from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 and receives the receiving organization of the storage device 16. Store in the information database 172.

  In step 504, the processor 102 (or its receiving condition registration unit 1234) receives information on receiving conditions from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 and stores it in the receiving condition database 174 of the storage device 16. After the registration process of receiving group information and receiving conditions is completed, the person in charge of the receiving group can apply for receiving the provided goods.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a flowchart executed by the server device 10 for registering information relating to an article provider and provision conditions.

  The information processing terminals 30 to 36 are connected to the server device 10 according to the operation of the person in charge of the article provider, and register information related to the article provider and provision conditions.

  In step 512 of FIG. 5, the processor 102 (or its provider information registration unit 1236) of the server apparatus 10 receives information on the article provider from the information processing terminals 30 to 36, and provides the provider of the storage device 16. Store in the information database 180.

  In step 514, the processor 102 (or its provision condition registration unit 1238) receives information on provision conditions from the information processing terminals 30 to 36 and stores the information in the provision condition database 182 of the storage device 16. After the registration process of the provider information and the provision conditions is completed, the person in charge of the provider can apply for the provision of the article.

  Next, processing for article distribution mediation by the server device 10 will be described.

  6A and 6B show an example of a flowchart for processing for determining a distribution destination of an article provided by a provider, which is executed by the server device 10.

  In step 532 of FIG. 6A, the person in charge of the article provider operates the information processing terminals 30 to 36 to the article distribution mediation system provided by the processor 102 on the server device 10 or its article distribution mediation unit 1226. to access. For example, authentication using a provider ID and a password may be performed for access to the article distribution mediation system. In addition, the information processing terminals 30 to 36 transmit information related to the provided articles input on the provided article registration screen of the article distribution mediation system to the server device 10 in accordance with an operation of the person in charge of the provider.

  FIG. 8A shows an example of a screen for registering provided articles of the article distribution mediation system. FIG. 8B shows an example of provided article information registered in the article distribution mediation system on the screen of FIG. 8A.

  In the provided article registration screen of FIG. 8A, for example, the provided article name “XX coffee 350 ml”, the provided article quantity “10 cases”, the provided article expiration date “September 8, 2013”, the provided article condition “no cooling equipment required” , “Necessary for hygiene administrator” and provided item value “¥ 10000” are entered. On the other hand, the processor 102 (or the provided article registration unit 1240) of the server device 10 receives registration information regarding the provided article from the information processing terminals 30 to 36 and stores it in the provided article information database 184. Thereby, for example, the provided article information as shown in FIG. 8B is stored in the provided article information database 184.

  In step 534, the processor 102 (or its condition matching unit 1242) refers to the database regarding the provided item information newly stored in the provided item information database 184, and receives candidates that match or match the provided condition of the provided item. Extract organizations. The provision condition of the provision article is information included in the provision article information database 184 and the provision condition database 182. That is, a plurality of receiving organizations are filtered by the provision conditions of the provided articles. The databases are, for example, a provision item information database 184, a provider information database 180, a provision condition database 182, a receiving organization information database 172, and a receiving condition database 174. At that time, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242), for example, the receiving organization information and the receiving organization of the receiving conditions including items that match or match each item of the provided item information and the providing conditions of the provider. To extract. As a result, a receiving organization that satisfies the provision condition of the provision article is extracted. However, at this stage, the provided item may not satisfy some items of the receiving conditions presented by the receiving organization. For example, the receiving conditions of the receiving group may include, for example, a local restriction of the delivery source regarding the provided items.

  In step 536, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) determines whether or not the candidate recipient organization has been successfully extracted. If it is determined that one or more candidate recipient organizations have been successfully extracted, the procedure proceeds to step 538. If it is determined that extraction of candidate recipient groups has failed, the procedure proceeds to step 540.

  In step 538, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) refers to the receiving condition database 174 to determine whether or not the information on the provided article matches or matches each item of the receiving condition of each candidate receiving group. In other words, the candidate receiving groups are filtered and narrowed by the receiving conditions of the receiving group for the information on the provided articles. The databases are, for example, the provided item information database 184, the provider information database 180, the receiving organization information database 172, and the receiving condition database 174. If it is determined that the information regarding the provided article matches the receiving condition, the procedure proceeds to step 552 in FIG. 6B. In this case, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) extracts candidate receiving groups whose information on the provided articles matches the receiving conditions. Alternatively, the determination of step 538 may be included in step 534 or 536. If it is determined that the information regarding the provided article does not match the receiving condition, the procedure proceeds to step 540.

  In step 540, when accessed from the information processing terminals 30 to 36, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) causes the information processing terminals 30 to 36 to display a screen including a message. The message notifies that there is no receiving group that matches the provision condition of the provided article, and recommends relaxation of the provision condition of the provided article. The presence of the message may be notified by e-mail to the information processing terminals 30 to 36 or may be notified by voice announcement to the telephone of the provider's telephone number, for example.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen including a message notifying the provider that there is no receiving organization that matches the provision condition of the provision article and recommending relaxation of the provision condition.

  In the information processing terminals 30 to 36, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed that includes a message with a content that recommends relaxation of the provision conditions without a receiving organization that matches the provision conditions. If the person in charge of the provider operates the information processing terminals 30 to 36 and presses the button “change provision item condition” on the screen of FIG. 9, the procedure returns to step 532. On the other hand, when the button “Cancel provided item” is pressed on the screen of FIG. 9, the corresponding item providing information in the provided item information database 184 may be deleted, and then the procedure is the routine of FIGS. 6A and 6B. May be left (not shown).

  In step 532 after step 540, for example, the screen including the registered provided article information as shown in FIG. 8A is displayed again, and the information regarding the provided article can be re-input or changed. The person in charge of the provider can change or relax the provision conditions in the registered provision article information on the screen as shown in FIG. 8A.

  FIG. 10A shows an example of a screen for registration of provided articles after the provided article information on the screen of FIG. 8A has been changed. FIG. 10B shows an example of the provided article information changed and registered on the screen of FIG. 10A.

  In the screen of FIG. 10A, regarding the provision conditions, for example, the provision article deadline is changed to a date “September 15, 2013” later than before the change, and the provision article condition 2 is relaxed to “no hygiene administrator”. Thereby, for example, the provided article information database 184 is updated with the changed provided article information as shown in FIG. 10B. Steps 534, 536 and 538 are executed again based on the updated provided article information.

  In step 552 of FIG. 6B, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) refers to the point database 188 and sorts or sorts the candidate receiving organizations in the order of the height of each point. . In that case, in addition to the point database 188, the receiving organization information database 172, the receiving condition database 174, and the receiving result information database 176 may be referred to. Candidate recipient organization points may be retrieved from the processed points database 188. As an alternative, the condition matching unit 1242 of the processor 102 may cause the point calculation management unit 1252 to calculate the points of each candidate receiving group based on the receiving result information database 176.

  The point of each receiving organization may be a value obtained by multiplying the value of the received article per recipient of each receiving organization by a negative value −1 and inverting the sign in a certain period. The certain period may be, for example, the past twelve months, six months, or one month retroactive from the present time. As will be described later, the point of each receiving organization is a value obtained by multiplying the value of the goods received per recipient of each receiving organization by a negative value -1 and inverting the sign in a certain period. And the sum of the sum (Σ) and the product of the number of comments of the receiving organization for the receipt of the article multiplied by a coefficient. Using the received point heights of the receiving organizations as the priority order, the receiving organizations of the distribution destination candidates are rearranged or sorted in the priority order.

  In step 553, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) refers to the receiving condition database 174 and selects one or more candidate receiving organizations that can distribute the quantity of the provided articles in order of priority in the list of candidate receiving organizations. Make a list by selecting and deciding.

  FIG. 11A shows an example of a list of candidate receiving organizations rearranged in order of priority of point height. FIG. 11B shows an example of points for each receiving organization that was referenced to generate the list of candidate receiving organizations in FIG. 11A. FIG. 11C shows an example of a screen including a list of candidate recipient groups notified to the provider.

  In step 554, when accessed from the information processing terminals 30 to 36 of the provider, the processor 102 (or the receiving organization confirmation unit 1244) displays a screen including a message on the information processing terminals 30 to 36. The message notifies that there is a candidate receiving organization as a distribution destination of the provided article. The presence of the message may be notified by e-mail to the information processing terminals 30 to 36 or may be notified by voice announcement to the telephone of the provider's telephone number, for example. For example, the person in charge of the provider can confirm the candidate receiving organization by operating the information processing terminals 30 to 36 and viewing a screen including a list of candidate receiving organizations as shown in FIG. 11C. The screen in FIG. 11C includes information such as a receiving organization name, a delivery condition, a receiving condition, food sanitation management, and the presence or absence of a cold storage facility. In this case, if the person in charge of the provider operates the information processing terminals 30 to 36 and presses the button “apply application” on the screen of FIG. 11C for confirmation, the presence of the provided article is received as a candidate. The organization is notified. At that time, the person in charge of the provider may select a receiving organization name to be provided from a plurality of candidate receiving organizations on the screen of FIG. 11C.

  12A and 12B show examples of screens including a list of provided articles that are notified to respective candidate receiving organizations. FIG. 12C shows an example of the reception result information generated for the provided article received by the receiving group related to the screen of FIG. 12B.

  In step 556, when accessed from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 of the determined receiving organization, the processor 102 (or its provided article confirmation unit 1246) processes the screen including a message notifying that there is a provided article. It is displayed on the terminals 40-46. The presence of the message may be notified by e-mail to the information processing terminals 40 to 46, or may be notified by voice announcement to the telephone of the receiving organization's telephone number.

  In step 554, the processor 102 (receiving group confirmation unit 1244) determines that the state of waiting for a response from a candidate receiving group when the button “application provision” is pressed on the screen of FIG. May be recorded in the provided article information database 184. As an alternative, in step 556, when the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) notifies the presence of the message, the “waiting for receiving group answer” indicating that it is waiting for a reply from the candidate receiving group is received. May be recorded in the provided article information database 184.

  The person in charge of the receiving organization operates the information processing terminals 40 to 46, sees a screen including a list of provided articles as shown in FIG. 12A, for example, and accepts (accepts) or does not accept (decline) the provided articles. Judgment can be made. For example, when the person in charge of the receiving group presses the button “decline” on the screen of FIG. 12A, the information processing terminals 40 to 46 transmit a response indicating that the article is not received to the server device 10. On the other hand, for example, when the person in charge of the receiving organization presses the button “acceptance application” on the screen of FIG. 12A, the information processing terminals 40 to 46 transmit a response indicating that the article is received to the server device 10. In this case, the person in charge of the receiving group may input additional information such as the scheduled receiving date on the screen of FIG. 12A. In this case, the response includes an answer to accept the provided article and additional information such as a scheduled receipt date.

  In step 558, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) determines whether or not there is a response from the candidate receiving group within the response time limit. The response deadline is set to a date and time before the provision article deadline in the provision article information set by the provider. If it is determined that the response has been received within the response time limit, the procedure proceeds to step 562. If it is determined that the response has not been received even after the response time limit has passed, the procedure proceeds to step 560.

  In step 562, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) confirms the content of the response received from the candidate receiving organization. The response from the receiving organization includes an answer to accept (accept) or not accept (decline) the provided item. The processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) may record the content of the response in the provided article information database 184 as the receipt status. When the answer is not received (declined), for example, “before accepting organization designation” may be recorded as the receiving status. In addition, the processor 102 (or the provided article confirmation unit 1246 or its receipt registration unit 1248) may store the scheduled receipt date received from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 in the receipt record information database 176.

  In step 564, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) determines whether or not the response from the candidate receiving organization is to receive the article. If it is determined that the response is to receive an article, the procedure proceeds to step 566. If it is determined that the response is not to receive an article, the procedure proceeds to step 560.

  In step 560, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) indicates that the response has not been received from the candidate receiving group within the time limit, or that the candidate receiving group has declined to receive the article. To record. At this time, “before receiving organization designation” may be recorded in the provided article information database 184 as the receiving status. Thereafter, the procedure returns to Step 552.

  In step 552 after steps 560 and 564 (NO), the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) excludes the candidate receiving groups that have previously notified that there are provided items, and sets the remaining candidate receiving groups. Sort or sort again in order of priority. Next, the processor 102 (condition matching unit 1242) again determines candidate recipient groups for distribution of the remaining quantity of the provided articles in order of priority based on the points. Here, if there are no remaining candidate recipient groups, the procedure may return to step 540 for the quantity of remaining articles.

  Thereafter, step 554 is executed again. Furthermore, in step 556 again, when accessed from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 of another determined recipient organization, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246) displays a screen including a message on the information processing terminals 40 to 46. 46. The message notifies that there are provided items. A person in charge of another receiving organization can operate the information processing terminals 40 to 46 to see, for example, a screen including a list of provided articles in FIG. 12B and determine whether to accept or not receive the provided articles. In this way, the information processing terminals 40 to 46 transmit a response to the server device 10 as described above. If the response is to accept the provided article, in step 562, the processor 102 (provided article confirmation unit 1246 or its receipt registration unit 1248) stores the receipt record information as shown in FIG. 12C in the receipt record information database 176, for example. To do. In this case, in the receipt record information database 176, it may be recorded that acceptance is being applied as acceptance acceptance.

  In step 566, when accessed from the information processing terminals 30 to 36, the processor 102 (receiving group confirmation unit 1244) displays a screen including a message notifying that there is a receiving group that receives the provided article. 36. The message may include, for example, information such as a receiving organization name and the quantity of goods. The presence of the message may be notified by e-mail to the information processing terminals 30 to 36 or may be notified by voice announcement to the telephone of the provider's telephone number, for example. In addition, when the provider delivers the article, the processor 102 (receiving group confirmation unit 1244) receives the scheduled delivery date received from the information processing terminals 30 to 36 by the operation of the person in charge of the provider, etc. 176 may be stored.

  In this way, the server device 10 can determine a receiving organization that receives a provided product in preference to a receiving organization that has a smaller value of the distributed items per recipient of each receiving organization. . Further, the server device 10 can determine a receiving group that is a delivery destination of the provided article in preference to a receiving group that provides more information about the provided article such as feedback / comment.

  Next, registration of feedback / comments as information provided to the provider by the receiving organization after delivery of the article is registered in the server device 10 and points are given to the receiving organization will be described.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a flowchart for processing of recording feedback comments of a receiving organization and calculation of points given to the receiving organization, which is executed by the server device 10.

  FIG. 13A shows an example of a screen for registering that acceptance or delivery of a provided article has been completed by a receiving organization or a provider. FIG. 13B shows an example of receipt result information updated by article acceptance registration. FIG. 13C shows an example of the points of the receiving organization updated by the article receiving registration.

  After the delivery or receipt of the article is completed, the person in charge of the receiving organization operates the information processing terminals 40 to 46 to complete the receipt or delivery of the article with respect to the received article on the screen as shown in FIG. 13A, for example. Is registered in the server device 10. As an alternative form, the person in charge of the provider operates the information processing terminals 30 to 36 to notify the server device 10 that the delivery or receipt of the article has been completed with respect to the provided article on the screen as shown in FIG. 13A, for example. You may register. The information processing terminals 40 to 46 or 30 to 36 access the server device 10 according to the operation of the person in charge of the receiving organization or the provider, and register that reception or delivery of the provided article is completed.

  In step 582 of FIG. 7, the processor 102 (acceptance registration unit 1248) receives registration information regarding the completion of receipt or delivery of the article from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 or 30 to 36 and stores it in the receipt record information database 176. To do. Thereby, for example, the reception result information as shown in FIG. 13B is stored in the reception result information database 176. The receipt result information in FIG. 13B includes the fact that the article has been received and the actual receipt date as information on whether or not receipt is possible.

In step 584, the processor 102 (or its point calculation management unit 1252) calculates the points to be given to the receiving organization according to the conversion formula for points based on the receiving record information database 176 of the receiving organization. The conversion formula for points may be stored in the conversion formula management database 186, or may be incorporated in an application program executed by the processor 102 or the point calculation management unit 1252. The conversion formula _Pc to points may be, for example, the following formula.

  The processor 102 (point calculation management unit 1252) updates the point database 188 with the calculated points. In this case, the point database 188 is reduced by a point corresponding to the value of the goods per recipient received by the receiving organization, for example, as shown in FIG. May be updated. As an alternative, step 584 may be omitted and the calculation of step 584 may be included in step 588.

  FIG. 14A shows an example of a screen for inputting a feedback / comment regarding the provided article by the receiving organization. FIG. 14B shows an example of receipt result information updated by feedback comments. FIG. 14C shows an example of the points of the receiving organization updated by registering feedback comments.

  After registering the completion of the delivery or receipt of the article, the person in charge of the receiving organization operates the information processing terminals 40 to 46 to provide feedback / provided information about the received article on the screen of FIG. A comment can be input and transmitted to the server device 10. The information processing terminals 40 to 46 access the server device 10 according to the operation of the person in charge of the receiving organization and register feedback / comments regarding the received articles.

  In step 586, the processor 102 (or the provided information registration unit 1250) receives feedback comments from the information processing terminals 40 to 46 and records them in the received record information database 176. In this case, for example, the receipt record information database 176 is updated with receipt record information including feedback / comments as shown in FIG. 14B. When accessed from the information processing terminals 30 to 36, the processor 102 (provided information registration unit 1250) may cause the information processing terminals 30 to 36 to display feedback comments in the receipt record information database 176. The presence of the feedback comment may be notified to the information processing terminals 30 to 36 by e-mail or may be notified to the telephone of the provider's telephone number by voice announcement. The person in charge of the article provider evaluated the feedback comment and increased the coefficient multiplied by the feedback comment of the time on the information processing terminals 40 to 46 according to the usefulness as information provision, and increased it. The coefficient may be recorded in the receipt result information database 176. For that feedback comment, the factor may be increased from 100 to 200, for example.

  In step 588, the processor 102 (point calculation management unit 1252) calculates points to be given to the receiving organization based on the receiving organization information database 176 of the receiving organization according to the above-described conversion formula for points. The processor 102 (the point calculation management unit 1252) updates the point database 188 with the calculated points of each receiving organization. In response to the registration of the feedback comment, the point database 188 may be updated with increased points, for example, as in FIG. 14C.

  The points of each receiving organization in the points database 188 may be recalculated and updated each time information about the receipt or delivery of goods is registered and every time feedback comments are registered, eg, fixed daily. It may be updated periodically like time. As an alternative, the points for each receiving organization in the points database 188 may be calculated when a particular candidate receiving organization is extracted.

  The conversion formula to the above point is the sum of the values obtained by multiplying the value of the received article per recipient for each receiving period by a negative value −1 and inverting the sign for the receiving group for a certain period ( (Σ) and the product of the number of comments multiplied by a coefficient. The total value of the received articles is represented by, for example, a value obtained by multiplying the value per article by the number of receipts, or a value obtained by multiplying the value per article unit quantity by the received quantity. Thus, the point may be negative, zero (0) or positive. Thus, since the sign is inverted by multiplying the total value of the received articles per recipient by −1 and the sign is inverted, the value of the point of the receiving group becomes larger as the receiving group receives more articles. Tend to be lower. As a result, the more the receiving organization sends a feedback / comment each time an article is received, the higher the value of the receiving organization's points as the contribution of information provision.

  As an alternative form, in the conversion formula for points described above, the coefficient multiplied by the number of comments may be any value greater than or equal to 0, and may be changed according to the usefulness of providing information as described above. it can. When the coefficient is always zero (0), points are not added according to the number of comments.

In addition, the points of each receiving group are converted into the above-mentioned conversion formula (P _c ), for example, a value (αP) according to the purchasing point (P _p ) of the provider's product per recipient by the receiving group. _It may be a value (P _c + αP _p ) obtained by adding _p ). As a result, the receiving organization is encouraged to purchase the product of the product provider, and the mutual support relationship between the receiving organization and the provider is promoted.

  In this way, depending on the value of the goods received, the points are reduced and thus the priority in receiving the next goods is reduced. Therefore, over a long period of time, the value distributed to the recipients of the plurality of recipient organizations becomes substantially equal. As a result, the benefits of the goods can be widely given to individual recipients of a plurality of recipient organizations, and the advertising effect of the product of the provider can be obtained. Further, the number of points increases according to the number of registered comments, and therefore the priority when receiving the next article is increased. Thus, the provider can reflect feedback comments in the future production or development of consumer products.

  According to the embodiment, it is possible to realize a system in which articles to be provided are allocated to a plurality of receiving organizations in a fairly fair manner, and receiving organizations to which various items provided by a provider are distributed can be determined efficiently.
