JP6388406B2 - Support system - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a support system, and more specifically to a system that provides support for providing financial support to, for example, an individual.

  In the past, for example, donations for victims in disasters, donations for organ transplants and traffic orphans, and donations for various other activities, etc., have been announced through TV and newspapers, etc. It was common to call for donation transfers or to conduct donation activities with donation boxes in the streets or in front of stations. A person who wants to make a general donation can know the facts of the fund-raising activities through the television and the like, and knows the means for making the fund-raising, and thus can make the desired donation using the means.

  On the other hand, for example, if an individual who is engaged in various activities such as sports, literary arts, etc. wants to receive financial support, he / she will not be taken up by the media and can use the above-mentioned call for donations using the mass media. In addition, it is difficult to do street fund-raising that requires many volunteers. Therefore, a party such as an individual who wants to receive the financial support meets a bank or an acquaintance to persuade the support. However, in order to persuade such support, there are limitations due to personal connections and regional restrictions.

  Therefore, conventionally, a system that enables financial support to individuals based on the Internet has been provided. For example, in the activity support system disclosed in Patent Document 1, a planner who wants to collect funds registers his / her plan in a server, and a person who wants to support accesses the server to check the registered plan, empathy, etc. In order to realize the plan, investment and fund-raising can be done using the payment function on the Internet.

  In addition, the donation support device disclosed in Patent Document 2 stores a supporter storage unit that stores supporter information related to a supporter who wants to receive donation, and supporter information related to a supporter who makes a donation. A supporter storage unit is provided. Recipient information includes name, gender, date of birth, deposit account, and purpose of support. The support purpose indicates, for example, the reason why the supporter wants to donate, such as marathon, volleyball, singer, and surgery, and the purpose of use of the donated money. Recipient information includes name, gender, date of birth, withdrawal account, and purpose of support. The support purpose indicates, for example, information on a supporter that the supporter wants to donate, such as an unknown athlete, an artist, or a sick person, and the purpose and reason for the supporter to donate.

  The donation support apparatus has a search function for searching for a match between the support purpose and the support purpose. The supporter and the supporter use the search function to search for a partner who meets the purpose, and determine whether to actually support by exchanging messages using the message transmission function. When the donation support device accepts the agreed support content (amount, whether there is continuation, such as single / monthly), the donation support device determines the donation amount based on the accepted content. Settlement to transfer money from the account to the recipient's deposit account.

  In the activity support system disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to create and upload a document that summarizes the own plan in order to receive support. For example, an entrepreneur who wants to start a new business can easily create materials that explain the business in an easy-to-understand manner, but for example, athletes, people who are involved in literary arts, the person / family who wants to receive treatment, etc. For this reason, creating a document that summarizes a plan is a complicated task, and it is also difficult to create a material that appeals effectively to a third party who wants to support. Furthermore, there is a problem that a person who wants to receive such support takes an effort to create the plan and cannot perform an activity for receiving the support originally. Therefore, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it does not function properly in order to support the activities of individuals who are not business owners.

  On the other hand, in the donation support apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2, a recipient who wants to receive donation only has to register his / her information, and the purpose of the support is not like a plan as in Patent Document 1. Since the registration is relatively easy, the above-mentioned problem pointed out regarding the invention of Patent Document 1 is solved. In addition, although the supporter and the supporter can be matched by the search function, there is little disclosure by the support information, and it is difficult for the supporter to quickly determine whether the supporter is sufficient to support. For this reason, the donation support apparatus of Patent Document 2 needs to exchange information by using a message transmission function, and it is troublesome to create and transmit a question sentence and to create and transmit an answer. .

  Furthermore, although donation acts have become widespread socially and widely in Europe and the United States, in Japan, even if there is a desire to help individuals who are doing their best, they are not resistant to making donations that actually send money. There are many people who have.

  For these reasons, in the conventional system, for example, individuals who are trying to receive support are able to appeal themselves efficiently with as little effort as possible, and third parties are those who are worthy of efficient support. There is a problem that it is not enough to find and provide financial support efficiently and smoothly.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the support system of the present invention is (1) a support system that supports a member of money registered to a support site. The support site includes an Internet page for transmitting information for the member and an Internet shopping mall associated with the member. And the goods sold at the internet shopping mall are provided by the shopkeeper registered in the support site. When the goods are sold from the internet shopping mall, the merchant provided by the shopkeeper along with the sale. Based on the above, the member can be paid to the member associated with the Internet shopping mall where the product is sold.

  In the present invention, when a product is sold at an Internet shopping mall associated with a specific member, the member is paid to the specific member based on the member provided by the store operator who opened the product. Therefore, a person who wants to support a specific member becomes a site visitor, accesses the support site, and purchases a product at an Internet shopping mall associated with the specific member. Provide financial support to specific members. Since the money given to a specific member at this time is borne by the store owner of the purchased product, the site visitor only has to pay for the product to be purchased. There is no need for additional money to donate. In addition, since it does not give money directly to those who want to support themselves, even those who are reluctant to make donations to send money actually provide financial support without resistance. be able to.

  In addition, since the support site has an Internet page for sending information for members, members who wish to receive financial support can use the page for sending information by themselves. Upload information to appeal Therefore, a visitor of a site can see whether or not he / she is sufficient to support by viewing the page of a specific member in the support site, and seeing the member's normal activities and other information sent by the member. Easy and accurate judgment can be made. Therefore, it is possible to look around each page in the support site like surfing the Internet, and find a person who is intuitively interested, or a person who wants to support and support.

  (2) When the product is sold, a support point that can be exchanged for money is given to the member associated with the Internet shopping mall where the product is sold, and the support point is the member It is preferable that the money is paid based on the support point according to a request from the member. By using the support points, for example, processing for fractions less than one yen, gathering money from a plurality of shopkeepers, and the like can be facilitated. In this case, the support points to be exchanged for money members may be part or all, or the number of points that can be exchanged may be set.

  (3) The payment of the money member may be performed based on the entire balance of support points. In other words, when a member receives support from a gold member based on the support points given to him / her, it is based on all points instead of some points. This is because the feeling of the person who purchased the product in an attempt to provide financial support to the member is cherished, and the support can be exchanged for money without leaving a support point that expresses that feeling. It can be done. Therefore, it is good to eliminate the function of paying money based on a part of the support points.

  (4) It may be provided with a function of transferring a part or all of the support points held by the member to another member. If it does in this way, a member will be in the position like a supporter who supports other members, and can perform more efficient and more financial support.

  Both the function of shifting to another member and the function (3) may be implemented, or only one of them may be implemented. When realizing both functions, when transferring to another member, the transfer of some support points is permitted, and the payment of money to the member itself is all. In addition, when transferring support points to another member, it is preferable to transfer the entire balance of support points at that time as in the case of payment to the members.

  (5) The process of transferring the support point to another member may have a function of automatically performing according to preset conditions. In this way, a person who wants to support another member sets the support point transition conditions in advance, and automatically gives the support point granted to the other member without performing special processing. Good because it can be passed to.

  (6) It is preferable that the products provided by the store owner and sold in the Internet shopping mall are opened in the same manner for all the Internet shopping malls of the members. Since the same product is displayed in each member's shopping mall, the site visitor can select a specific member to purely support without depending on the superiority or inferiority of the exhibited / exhibited products. .

  (7) The internet shopping mall is a collection of internet shops configured for each store operator, and the internet shop and the internet shopping mall that is the collection are in the same state for all the members. It should be available. Similarly to the above (5), the state of the Internet shopping mall, that is, the various layouts and the like as well as the displayed products are made the same, thereby eliminating the superiority and inferiority of the configuration of the shopping mall and the Internet shop. As a result, the site visitor can select a specific member to purely support.

  (8) The member may have a function of setting a state in which a part or all of the products provided to the Internet shopping mall associated with the member cannot be handled. For example, when a sponsor contract is made with a company with a member, etc., it is not preferable to handle products of other companies competing with the company, etc., and there is a possibility that the products of other companies cannot be handled in the first place. In such a case, it may be set in a state where the corresponding product cannot be handled. In this case, the products may be set individually, or may be set, for example, in units of store openings.

  (9) A link for jumping to the Internet shopping mall associated with the page may be set on the page. With such a function, if a site visitor who was looking at a page of a member wants to support that member, he or she can easily open an Internet shopping mall that is related to the member using the set link and shop. Good because you can. The link can be realized by various methods such as clicking a [button] set on the screen as in the embodiment or using a hyperlink.

  (10) The page may be a blog. In addition to text information, blogs use a variety of information such as videos, still images (photos / illustrations, etc.), audio, etc., and can easily upload a large amount of information. It is one of the social networking services, and it is easy to get to know your activities and yourself, so you can appeal appropriately and effectively. In addition, if a member wants to support another member by using “Favorites” which is one of the blog functions, he / she visits the site where he / she came to see his / her own page by setting the blog of another member as a favorite. It is good because the person can be effectively guided to the blog of another member.

  According to the present invention, an individual who is trying to receive support, etc. can appeal himself efficiently with as little effort as possible, and a third party finds a person who deserves efficient support. , Financial support can be performed efficiently and smoothly.

It should be noted that the present invention is not construed as being limited thereto, and various changes, modifications, and improvements can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram illustrating an example of a support system, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an outline of a support model using the support system. The schematic configuration of the support system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. A person who wants to receive financial support registers as a member of the support site and has a My Page 21 in the support site server 13. My page 21 includes a blog function 22 and a shopping mall 23 on the Internet. The member accesses his / her own page 21 and uploads information etc. for appealing himself / herself using the blog function 22. Members can easily publish their daily lives, behaviors, etc. on their blogs so that, for example, sports athletes can easily publish information on sporting events, practice, and game conditions.

  The merchant manages and sells the products sold in the shopping mall 23. In other words, when a purchase order is placed for the product, the merchant is responsible for shipping the product and collecting the price. A link for jumping to the shopping mall 23 is set on a predetermined blog page disclosed by the blog function 22 of the my page 21. When a store-opener receives an order from the shopping mall 23 of any member's My Page, it gives the member a support point that can be exchanged for money.

  The member can receive financial support by cashing the received support points. Therefore, a person who intends to support a specific member becomes a site visitor, accesses the My Page 21 of the specific member, and purchases a product in the shopping mall 23 associated with the member in the My Page 21. By performing the act of purchasing, it is possible to provide financial support to the specific member. Then, the person who wants to support visits the support site server 13 as a site visitor, performs normal Internet shopping, and the amount to be paid at that time is only the price of the product to be purchased. No additional fees are required. Therefore, it does not give directly to those who want to support their own money, so even those who are reluctant to make donations to send money actually provide financial support without resistance. be able to. In addition, since the act that provides the financial support is normal Internet shopping, it is an action that is usually performed rather than special processing / operation, and the shop on the Internet to be purchased is supported. Since it is only necessary to make the shopping mall 23 associated with a specific member who wants to perform the operation, it can be easily performed. In other words, it is possible to provide financial support to the specific member as a result only by carrying out a normal life of shopping without performing a special action such as making a donation.

  In addition, the site visitor can easily and accurately determine whether or not the person is sufficient to support by confirming the usual activity of the member by browsing the My Page 21 of the specific member in the support site server 13. Can be judged. Therefore, for example, it is possible to look around each My Page 21 in the support site server 13 like surfing the Internet, and find a person who is intuitively interested, or a person who wants to support and support. In addition, by reading the blog of the person found in this way back in the past, it is possible to confirm whether the above intuition was correct. After that, you can check whether it is suitable for support by following the information posted on the blog regularly and irregularly. Therefore, a person who wants to support can provide support with peace of mind and confidence by viewing the blog as a site visitor.

  On the other hand, as described above, the person who wants to support can determine whether or not to support from the content of the blog. Therefore, those who want to receive support register on the support site and have My Page 21. For example, by using the blog function 22 to improve daily activities etc. on the blog, let third parties know about themselves. It is possible to receive support from those who have sympathy. In particular, uploading blogs is often performed frequently, and there is less resistance compared to creating and publishing a document describing a special plan, and the burden of work is also small. Furthermore, it is good because you can get to know your real life closer to your life by using your blog to improve your daily life and behavior.

  A specific configuration for performing the above-described support is as follows. As shown in FIG. 1, a member terminal 11 operated by a member, a non-member terminal 12 operated by a non-member, and a store terminal 16 operated by a store operator who provides and sells products are supported via a network 14. The site server 13 can be accessed. Further, an administrator terminal 15 operated by the administrator of the support site is locally connected to the support site server 13. The network 14 uses an Internet network, for example. In addition, although the administrator terminal 15 is illustrated as being directly connected to the support site server 13 locally in the figure, it may be connected via a local network such as a LAN, or the network 14 may be connected to the network in the same manner as other terminals. You may make it connect via.

  The support site server 13 is a web server and is linked to a known web browsing function implemented in a terminal (for example, a member terminal 11, a non-member terminal 12, a store opening terminal 16 or the like) connected via the network 14. Then, the top page is displayed on the display screen of the display device of the terminal. Although the specific display example of this top page is omitted, the accessing user can browse the specified My Page or his / her own My Page from the input screen set on the Top Page or the Web page linked from the Top Page. Register and correct information on the page. Further, in FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, a diagram in which the blog function 22 and the shopping mall 23 are representatively shown in the My Page 21 is shown, but various data and the like are also provided in addition thereto. The support site server 13 includes various databases and a management function for registering / updating / deleting information in the databases. Hereinafter, the configuration of the support system will be further described while explaining specific processes performed by members, site visitors, store openings, managers, and the like.

  FIG. 3 is a screen transition diagram of a display screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal that has accessed the support site server 13. First, the support site server 13 displays the comprehensive top page 101 on the display unit of the accessed terminal. FIG. 4 shows an example of the display layout of the general top page 101. The general top page 101 includes a main display area R1, an upper area R2 located above the main display area R1, and a lower area R3 located below the main display area R1.

Various information can be added and updated. That is, when the control unit detects that the area of the login button B3 has been clicked, the control unit displays a login screen including a member ID and password input area (not shown). The control unit authenticates whether or not the member is a regular member based on the member ID and password input on the login screen. When authenticating as a regular member, the control unit displays the member's My Page management page according to a predetermined operation. FIG. 5 shows an example of the My Page management page. In the main display area R4 of this My Page management page, “Notification information”, “Number of accesses to blog, Like! Total number, comments, information such as support points”, “various guide information”, etc. are displayed. . A member information display area R5 and a My Page management menu list display area R6 are arranged on the right side of the main display area R4.

  In the member information display area R5, “name”, which is one of basic information registered in the member information database 25, and “my icon image”, which is registered as one of profile data, are displayed. The my page management menu list display area R6 is arranged with menu buttons for activating various functions that become available as a result of member registration and for registering and updating various information. For example, when the area of “profile edit button” is clicked, the control unit displays a profile edit page shown in FIG. If profile data has been registered in the previous process, the corresponding information is displayed in each area. As shown in the figure, the main display region R4 includes a my icon image input part i1, a profile background image input part i2, and a profile sentence input part i3 in order from the top. The member clicks the file selection button B8 provided in the my icon image input unit i1, and selects, for example, an image file stored in the storage unit of the member terminal 11. As the processing is performed, the control unit registers the selected image file as a my icon image and displays it on the image display unit of the my icon image input unit i1. Further, as will be described later, the control unit displays the registered my icon image at various places such as the top screen of the blog. sign up. The member can register his / her profile by inputting text in the profile sentence input section i3. The control unit stores the text information input to the profile sentence input unit i3 in association with the member information, and displays it at a predetermined position when the profile page is called, as will be described later.

  Further, a posting creation button B6 and a public my page confirmation button B7 are arranged above the member information display area R5 of the my page management page. When the control unit detects that the region of the post creation button B6 has been clicked, the control unit displays the blog post page shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the blog post page includes a post title input unit i4, a post text input unit i5, a post instruction button B9, and the like in order from the top in the main display region R4. The member operates the input device of the member terminal 11 to input text into a predetermined input unit, and then clicks the posting instruction button B9. When the control unit detects that the posting instruction button B9 has been clicked, the control unit acquires information entered in each input unit at that time and registers the information in the blog of the member.

  Further, the My Page management page and the blog posting page include a public My Page confirmation button B7 at a predetermined position above it. When the control unit detects that the public my page confirmation button B7 is clicked, the control unit displays the top page 102 of the member's my page. FIG. 9 shows an example of the display layout of the top page 102 of this my page. For example, information posted using the blog posting page is displayed in the title 102a and the posted text 102b in the main display area R4. In addition, the my icon image input using the profile edit page, the name of the basic information, and the like are displayed in the member information display area R5 provided at the upper right of the main display area R4. A profile button B10 is provided below the member information display area R5. When the control unit detects that the region of the profile button B10 is clicked, the control unit displays a profile page 110 of the member as shown in FIG. 8, for example.

  The profile page 110 displays a my icon image input using the profile edit page, a name as one of member information, and the like, and a profile sentence input by text in the center. Furthermore, [View Post button] B11 is provided above and below the profile text display area. When the control unit detects that this [View Post button] B11 area is clicked, it displays the top page 102 of the member's My Page (blog or the like) shown in FIG.

  The site visitor can know the member by viewing the article posted by the member displayed on the top page 102 of the member's My Page, the profile text displayed on the profile page 110, and the like. In addition, the member can distribute information that appeals to himself by a simple operation of opening a blog posting page or a profile editing page and inputting text or the like in the corresponding input section.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the top page 102 includes an OPEN MALL button B13 for accessing a shopping mall 23 associated with the top page 102. When the control unit detects that the area of the OPEN MALL button B13 has been clicked, the control unit displays a store listing page 103 that is open in the shopping mall. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the store opening list page 103 arranges a my icon image and a store opening name of a store opened in the main display area R4. A return button B12 represented by an arrow icon is provided at the left end of the title bar.

[Store opening process]
FIG. 11 shows a store opening flow. A store opening person who intends to register in this support site applies to the site operator, and the store opening process is performed according to the following procedure when the site operator permits the store opening. The site operator accesses the support site server 13 from the administrator terminal 15 and registers a store opening in the store opening information database 26 (S41). By this store registration, an area for registering store information is secured in the store information database 26. The shopkeeper accesses the support site server 13 from the shopkeeper terminal 16 and registers the shopkeeper information (S42). Store opening information includes, for example, company name, address, phone number, FAX number, etc., specific information for identifying the company, link information such as My Icon image, Facebook / Twitter / homepage address, and Specified Commercial Transaction Law Information necessary for display based on These pieces of information can be updated according to an appropriate procedure. Based on the information stored in the store opening information database 26 on a predetermined page in the site, the control unit performs display based on the specific commercial transaction method for the store opening store (S43). Further, the above-mentioned store opening list page 103 extracts specific information about all the store opening stores stored in the store opening information database 26, and creates and displays a list (S44).

  Further, the store clerk accesses the support site server 13 from the store clerk terminal 16 and performs product registration (S45). That is, the store opening person inputs product information such as a product name, a price, a product image (such as a photograph), and a product description. The control unit receives the input and registers the product information in the product information database 27 in association with the shopkeeper. As will be described later, the control unit acquires information on all products associated with the store opening (store) selected on the store opening list page 103, and creates and displays a product list page (S46). ), Product detail information about a specific product is displayed (S47).

  In this way, the store opening person can register the product information, open the store in the shopping mall linked to the member's My Page, and display the product. In addition, the store opening person can update the product information to add a new product or withdraw the display. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when merchandise information is registered as described above, display and withdrawal are performed in the same manner for the shopping malls 23 of all members. In other words, the shopkeeper cannot provide a product only to a shopping mall of a specific member or refuse to provide a product to a shopping mall of a specific member. In addition, the price of the product will be the same without any difference between members.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an internet shop is configured for each store opening person in the shopping mall 23. The shopkeeper adds a new product to be provided to his / her internet shop and withdraws the display. Moreover, it is good to provide the function which accesses the support site server 13 from the store opening terminal 16, and corrects the page layout etc. of an own internet shop.

[Order processing]
FIG. 12 shows a product order flow. In order to purchase merchandise at the shopping mall 23 of the member to be supported and execute the order processing, between the site visitor's terminal (member terminal 11 and non-member terminal 12) and the support site server 13, FIG. 12 is executed. Further, with the above processing, the screen displayed on the display unit of the site visitor's terminal changes as shown in the horizontal row (102 to 108) on the screen transition diagram shown in FIG.

  First, a site visitor operates his / her terminal, accesses the support site server 13 via the Internet, and browses the top page 102 (see FIG. 9) of a specific member's My Page to be supported (S1). ). That is, a specific member's My Page is searched from the general top page 101 (see FIG. 4), or accessed directly based on the Internet address of the specific member's My Page. The control unit of the support site server 13 reads basic information and blog information of the specific member from the member information database 25 according to the received address information, and creates and outputs a My Page.

  Next, the site visitor goes to the shopping mall of the member who wants to support by operating the terminal (S2). That is, the site visitor clicks the OPEN MALL button B13 provided in the top page 102 of the displayed My Page of the member to be supported (S2). Accordingly, when the control unit detects a click on the area of the OPEN MALL button B13, the control unit accesses the store opening information database 26, extracts all the store opening stores in the shopping mall, and stores the store opening list page 103 ( 10A) is created and displayed (S3).

  The site visitor views the store opening list page 103 and selects a store opening person (a store opening Internet shop) from among the listed store opening stores (stores on the Internet) (S4). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, the store opening list page 103 includes information (such as a my icon image and a store opening name) for specifying the store opening for each store opening. The product list button B14 is described as a set. Selection of the store opening person is performed by operating the terminal of the site visitor and clicking the product list button B14 of the store opening person.

  When the control unit detects that the area of the product list button B14 has been clicked, the control unit accesses the product information database 27, extracts product information associated with the clicked store, and displays the product list page 104 ( S5). For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the product list page 104 arranges a product image, a product name, and a sales price that specify the product for each product in the main display area R4. A return button B12 represented by an arrow icon is provided at the left end of the title bar. When the control unit detects that the return button B12 is clicked, the control unit shifts to the display of the store opening list page 103 which is the previous page.

  The site visitor views the product list page 104 and selects a product to be purchased from the listed products (S6). Specifically, the product is selected by operating the site visitor's terminal and clicking the product to be purchased (for example, a product image).

  When the control unit detects that a preset area such as a product image area is clicked, the control unit displays the product detail page 105 based on the product information of the clicked product (S7). For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the product detail page 105 arranges a plurality of product images, sales prices, inventory status, detailed product descriptions, and the like for the selected product at appropriate positions in the main display area R4. Further, button areas for giving various instructions such as a cart addition button B15 and a top page return button B16 are provided. Further, a return button B12 represented by an arrow icon is provided at the left end of the title bar. When the control unit detects that the area of the return button B12 is clicked, the control unit transitions to display of the product list page 104, which is the previous page. Further, when the control unit detects that the area of the top page return button B16 is clicked, the control unit transitions to the display of the top page 102 of the member's My Page associated with the currently displayed shopping mall. By using the top page return button B16, it is possible to return to the top page at once from the product detail page 105 in which the level of screen transition is deep, which is highly convenient.

  When the site visitor purchases the product displayed on the product detail page 105, the site visitor performs a process of putting the product into the cart (S8). Specifically, the operation is performed by operating the terminal of the site visitor and clicking the add cart button B15 displayed in the product detail page 105.

  When the control unit detects that the area of the cart addition button B15 is clicked, the control unit creates and displays an order information page 106 in which the product is placed in the cart. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the order information page 106 has information on purchase of products such as information on ordered products, orderer information, payment information such as total price (for example, product price + shipping) at a predetermined position in the main display area R4. Necessary information on shipping etc. is provided. Although not shown, a delivery method, a settlement method, and the like are also displayed on this order information page 106. The control unit displays information on the selected product in the display area for the ordered product. The order information page 106 includes a quantity setting button B20 next to the product information. The control unit increases or decreases the number in accordance with the click of the number setting button B20 arranged above and below.

  Further, the order information page 106 includes a product addition button B17 below the order product display area, and further includes an order instruction button B18 below the payment information (total amount). The site visitor checks the product displayed on the order information page 106 and determines whether or not to add the product to be purchased (S10). When adding a product, the site visitor clicks the product addition button B17.

  When the control unit detects that the area of the product addition button B17 is clicked, the control unit displays the product list page 104 (see FIG. 10B) of the store seller who sells the product in the cart. Then, predetermined processing from selection of the above-described product to insertion into the cart is executed, and the order information page 106 is displayed.

  On the other hand, if no product is added, the order details are input (S11). In order input, information necessary for purchase / shipment of goods such as orderer information and a settlement method displayed on the order information page 106 is input. When the site visitor is a member, the orderer information can be automatically input by clicking the login buttons B3 and B3 ′. That is, when the control unit detects that the login buttons B3 and B3 'are clicked at this time, the control unit accesses the member information database 25 when the member is authenticated by performing a predetermined login process, and the basics of the members who have been authenticated. Necessary information is acquired from the information and displayed in the orderer information input field. In the case where a product is selected or the like while logged in in advance, information about the member is displayed in the orderer information input field when the order information page 106 is displayed. When the site visitor completes the input of necessary order details such as orderer information, the site visitor clicks the order instruction button B18 provided at the bottom of the order information page 106. In the present embodiment, the final confirmation of the order is performed by accessing the URL described in the text transmitted to the e-mail as described below. Therefore, in order to clarify this, under the order instruction button B18, “When the button is pressed, a confirmation mail is sent to the mail address of the orderer. The order is confirmed from the authentication URL in the mail. Please note. "

  When the control unit detects that the area of the order instruction button B18 has been clicked, the control unit registers the order information input on the order information page 106 in the order information database 28, and the order contents for the orderer (site visitor). A confirmation notification is transmitted by e-mail, and an order confirmation mail transmission completion notification page is displayed (S12).

  In the order information database 28, the order information, the order number for uniquely specifying the order contents, the information for specifying the shopping mall (member) that received the order are associated and registered. The order number may include information for identifying the shopping mall (member) that has received the order. This facilitates management because the product and the shopping mall where the product is purchased, that is, the member having the shopping mall can be specified by the order number. In this case, for example, assuming that the first multiple digits of the order number are numbers that identify the member, the product information purchased at the shopping mall associated with the specific member is collected by sorting by the order number. It can be found.

  The order confirmation mail transmission completion notification page is not shown in the figure, but describes, for example, the contents of the procedure flow after sending the e-mail and notes. The order confirmation notice sent by e-mail is a confirmation URL in addition to the information notified after settlement / purchase in the case of normal Internet shopping such as order details (product name, purchase price, settlement / delivery method, etc.) And information about support points. Information on the support points includes the support site mechanism, the fact that support points that can be exchanged for money are given to members associated with the shopping mall 23 when the order is confirmed, and the support points that are given with this purchase And information for identifying the member to whom support points are granted. In this way, once an order confirmation notice is sent using e-mail, support points can be given to the other party to the site visitor, and shopping can be reaffirmed in terms of financial support. So good. Note that the confirmation work may be performed on the site without performing the confirmation work using the e-mail in this way.

  The site visitor opens the received order confirmation email and confirms the order contents (S13). When a site visitor purchases a product of the confirmed order contents, the site visitor clicks on the confirmation URL described in the order confirmation mail to open the final order confirmation page 107. The final confirmation page 107 includes, for example, a final confirmation message as shown in FIG. 15, a radio button + description for inputting whether or not a receipt is issued, an order confirmation button B19, and the like. When the confirmation URL is clicked and the order confirmation button B19 is clicked within a certain time (for example, within 24 hours) after the order content confirmation notification is transmitted by e-mail, the order is completed (S14, S15). Note that if a predetermined process is not executed within a certain time that is an order deadline, the order is cancelled.

  When the control unit detects that the area of the order confirmation button B19 is clicked within the predetermined time period, the control unit notifies the store details of the order. This notification is performed, for example, by sending an e-mail describing the details of the order. Further, the store clerk can access the support site server 13 from the store clerk terminal 16 and extract and check information stored in the order information database 28 or the like.

[Shipping process]
FIG. 16 shows a product order flow. Upon receipt of the order details notification, the store opening person sends the product to the purchaser (S21). The shopkeeper operates the shopkeeper terminal 16 to access the support site server 13 and input shipping information (S22). The control unit stores the input shipping information in the shipping information database 30 in the site. The shipping information includes, for example, information on the shipped product, information on the shipping destination, information on a delivery method (a courier / slip number, etc.), an order number, and the like.

  The control unit reads the shipping information stored in the shipping information database 30, creates a shipping completion notification mail, and transmits an e-mail to the product purchaser (site visitor) (S23). The purchaser of the product receives the shipment completion notification and knows that the product has been shipped. In addition to the shipping information, information on support points may be added to the shipping completion notification. The information regarding the support points includes the value of the support points generated with the purchase of the current product and information (for example, name, etc.) regarding the member to which the support points are given. By incorporating information on these support points into the shipping completion notification, the purchaser can feel that he / she has been able to provide financial support to a specific member by purchasing the product.

  On the other hand, when receiving the input of the shipping information, the control unit transmits the above-described shipping completion notification by e-mail and gives support points (S25). That is, the control unit accesses the order information database 28 using the order number included in the shipping information as a key, and this time it occurs when the member associated with the shopping mall that received the order of the shipped product and the sale of the product. The support point is acquired, and the support point of the member stored in the support point information database 31 is added and updated.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the updated current support points have accumulated a certain value or more (S26). In the present embodiment, when the support point becomes a certain value or more, it can be converted into cash. Therefore, the member is notified when it exceeds a certain value that is the standard that can be cashed. If the support point is less than a certain value, the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the current support point after the update is a certain value or more, the control unit accesses the member information database 25 to acquire the transmission destination address of the corresponding member, and sends a support point achievement notification mail to the member. Create and send by e-mail (S27).

  On the other hand, when the member receives the support point achievement notification mail (S28), the member accesses the support site server 13 from the member terminal 11. In accordance with the input received from the member terminal 11, the control unit displays a management page in the member's My Page as shown in FIG. 17, for example (S29). The main display area R4 of the management page includes a support point display unit R8 and a support point history display unit R9. The support point display unit R8 is a part that displays a member's current support points. The support point history display unit R9 is a part that displays a history of increase / decrease of support points of members. The control unit accesses the support point information database 31 and the like, acquires these pieces of information about the members, and displays them in the respective areas. The support point display section R8 includes a transfer application button B21.

  The member looks at the management page displayed on the display unit of the member terminal 11 and confirms the support point. The member confirms the support points, and when there is a predetermined point or more and further cashing / cashing is desired (Yes in S31), the member performs a transfer request process (S32). This transfer request may be made, for example, on a management page that displays support points, or from a “transfer request page” that is different from the management page that opens when the transfer application button B21 is clicked, for example.

  Further, as in the case of purchasing a product, authentication processing using an e-mail may be performed once. For example, a specific example of the transfer request process described below may be as follows. When the control unit detects that the transfer application button B21 provided on the management page has been clicked, the control unit transmits an authentication mail for identity verification to the member by e-mail, and displays an authentication mail transmission completion notification page (not shown). indicate. An authentication URL is described in this identity verification authentication mail. Therefore, the member clicks on the authentication URL described in the received e-mail, and inputs information necessary for authentication on the authentication screen.

  When the personal authentication is completed, the control unit displays, for example, a transfer application page shown in FIG. The transfer application page includes an application point display section R10, a bank information input section i7, and a transfer application confirmation button B23 in the main display area R4. In this embodiment, since all the support points at the time of application are transferred, the control unit acquires the balance of the current support points of the member and displays the balance on the application point display unit R10. The member cannot change the displayed application point, that is, the balance of the current application point. This is because the feeling of the person who purchased the product in an attempt to provide financial support to the member is cherished and exchanged for money without leaving a support point as a manifestation of such feeling. For this reason, an input unit for specifying a support point to be exchanged is not provided.

  The member inputs necessary information for specifying the bank of the bank account to the bank information input part i7, and clicks the bank transfer application confirmation button B23. When the control unit detects that the transfer application confirmation button B23 is clicked, the control unit displays a transfer application completion screen (not shown) and ends the transfer request process.

  In the above description, an example has been shown in which a member opens a support point page in My Page, receives a support point achievement notification email, confirms the support point, and makes a transfer request. For example, a member can confirm his / her support point at an appropriate timing and make a transfer request. In the present embodiment, the support point link button B22 is provided in the My Page Management Menu List Display Area R6 provided on the management page of the member's My Page. When the control unit detects that the area of the support point link button B22 has been clicked, the control point page is displayed. Thereby, the member can confirm the information regarding his / her support point by clicking the support point link button B22 on an appropriate page, and can make a transfer request.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the balance of support points is displayed on the My Page management page. Therefore, the member can confirm the balance of the current support point by looking at this my page management page. As described above, since the support point link button B22 is arranged in the my page management menu list display area R6 of the my page management page, the support point displayed on the my page management page is seen. If the balance is over a certain level, the member can easily move to the transfer request process. In addition, the “support point” information displayed on the My Page management page shown in FIG. 5 may have different display modes depending on whether there is a certain balance or more that can be cashed, for example. Examples of different display modes include, for example, changing the display color, blinking when cashing is possible, or adding a mark or character indicating that cashing is possible. By changing the display mode in this way, it can be seen at a glance whether or not a current transfer request is possible.

  In addition, when it is not a certain point that can be cashed, information on how much the remaining value exceeds a certain value may be notified. For example, the notification may indicate a specific numerical value, or may be a relative indication such as a level meter / indicator or a mark size.

  In the above description, all support points at the time of request are cashed. However, an input box for support points to be cashed may be provided so that a part of the support points can be transferred. Even in that case, for example, the balance of support points may be displayed as an initial value in the input box. If it does so, it will become easy to transfer all the support points, and it will be sufficient for many members to eliminate the effort of inputting support points.

  When receiving the transfer request, the control unit executes support point update processing (S33). That is, the control unit accesses, for example, the support point information database 31, obtains the support point balance of the member, subtracts the support point to be exchanged for the current transfer from the support point balance, and the subtracted value Update the support point balance.

  The control unit performs payment schedule registration (S34). That is, the control unit records, in the payment schedule information database 32, transfer request information that associates at least the member of the transfer partner with the payment amount. Further, the transfer request information may be associated with a scheduled transfer date. The scheduled transfer date is set, for example, according to a rule (for example, a date that has passed only the reference business day from the transfer request date, or a specific date after the closing date) based on the date on which the transfer request is received.

  The site operator accesses the payment schedule information database 32, confirms the transfer request information (S35), and executes a transfer process for a predetermined member (S36). Then, after executing the transfer process, the site operator operates the administrator terminal 15 to access the support site server 13 and performs transfer record registration (S37). That is, according to the transfer record registration received from the administrator terminal 15, for example, among the transfer request information registered in the payment schedule information database 32, the control unit sets a transfer completion flag for the transfer completed information, , Transfer result information is registered in the payment result information database 33. The transfer result information is, for example, information in which a transfer destination member is specified, a transfer amount, a transfer date, and the like are associated with each other.

  Although not shown in the processing flow of FIG. 13, the shopkeeper collects the money according to the support points given with the shipment in a predetermined period (for example, monthly) and pays the site operator. Since this money is generated with the sale and shipment of the product, it may be recorded as advertising expenses.
