The sales processing device 3 includes a communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a sales processing unit 33.
The communication unit 31 includes, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) controller. The communication unit 31 is a communication interface unit for connecting to the network N2, and functions as an apparatus reception unit.

  The storage unit 32 is a device storage unit including storage media such as a ROM, a RAM, and a hard disk. The storage unit 32 stores a program that the communication unit 31 executes. In addition, the storage unit 32 stores various data used by the sales processing unit 33 to execute the process of selling a product based on the order information transmitted by the communication terminal 2. The storage unit 32 stores, for example, sales conditions associated with the user ID of the user of the communication terminal 2. The sales conditions are, for example, the address of the place where the product sold to the user is delivered, and payment information on the method for settling the price of the product sold to the user.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the sales condition table stored in the storage unit 32. As shown in FIG. In the sales condition table shown in FIG. 4, the user ID, the contract ID, the contractor's name, the contractor's address, and the settlement method are associated with each other. The contract ID is information for identifying a contract that the user has entered into with the communication carrier, and settlement of communication charges is performed for each contract ID. When the user whose user ID is U000002 and the user whose user ID is U000003 are a family, the same contract ID is given to these two users, and the communication charges of the two people are added together to be processed for payment .

  The payment method column contains payment information used to make a payment for the item price. The “carrier settlement” in the settlement method column is a method of adding the product price to the communication charge and settling. "Credit card" in the payment method column is a method of making payment using a user's credit card. The "prepaid card" in the payment method column is a method of making a payment using a user's prepaid card. The storage unit 32 also stores a credit card number in association with the user ID for which the "credit card" is selected as the payment method. The storage unit 32 also stores a prepaid card number in association with the user ID for which the "prepaid card" is selected as the payment method.

  Further, the storage unit 32 stores a product management table in which the device ID and the product ID are associated. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the product management table stored in the storage unit 32. As shown in FIG. In the product management table shown in FIG. 5, the device ID, the product ID, the product name, the number of sales, the unit price, the sales price, and the store name are associated. As shown in FIG. 5, one device ID is associated with one product ID. For example, when the user presses the button of the order receiving device 1 of the device ID 000001, the rice (brand A) of the product ID 213021 is ordered from the shop A.

  The device ID is also associated with the number of items sold. Therefore, a user who wants to purchase a plurality of items at a time operates a single button without pressing the button of the order receiving device 1 a plurality of times by using the order receiving device 1 of the device ID corresponding to a plurality of sales numbers. A plurality of items can be ordered by

  Also, one product ID may be associated with a plurality of device IDs. In the example of FIG. 5, the detergent E of the product ID 310105 is associated with the device ID 000005 and the device ID 000008. Thus, since one product ID is associated with a plurality of device IDs, the product sales system S is a device associated with the detergent E so that, for example, the maker of the detergent E can easily purchase the detergent E by the user. The present invention is suitable for use for distributing a large number of ID order acceptance devices 1.

  The method of creating the item management table is optional. For example, the terminal of the store that has distributed the order receiving device 1 transmits data in which the distributed device ID is associated with the product ID, the product name, the number of sales, the unit price, and the sales price to the sales processing device 3 for sale A method is conceivable in which the processing unit 33 adds the received data to the product management table stored in the storage unit 32.

  Subsequently, the sales processing unit 33 will be described in detail. The sales processing unit 33 includes, for example, a CPU. When the CPU executes the program stored in the storage unit 32, the sales processing unit 33 selects the product corresponding to the order information based on the sales condition corresponding to the user ID included in the order information received by the communication unit 31. Execute the sales process of

  The sales processing unit 33 specifies an address corresponding to the user ID included in the order information, for example, by referring to the sales condition table shown in FIG. Further, the sales processing unit 33 specifies a product ID corresponding to the device ID included in the order information by referring to the product management table shown in FIG. Then, the sales processing unit 33 executes a process of shipping the product to the address corresponding to the user ID included in the order information. Specifically, the sales processing unit 33 transmits the order information including the specified address and the product ID to the store 4 corresponding to the product ID, thereby the product ID associated with the device ID included in the order information. Execute sales processing of the corresponding product. The sales processing unit 33 transmits the order information including the information indicating the sales quantity of the product corresponding to the device ID in the product management table, thereby executing the sales process of the sales quantity of the product.

  The sales processing unit 33 may execute the sales processing after a predetermined time has elapsed since the order information was received. For example, until the sales processing unit 33 receives the order information, the standby time (for example, one hour) stored in the storage unit 32 in association with at least one of the user ID, the device ID and the product ID elapses. , Does not execute the process of sending order information to the store 4. When the sales processing unit 33 receives a cancellation request for canceling an order from the communication terminal 2 within the waiting time, the sales processing unit 33 deletes the order information. By doing this, when the user erroneously operates the operation reception unit 13 of the order reception device 1, it is possible to prevent the delivery of unnecessary goods.

  Further, the sales processing unit 33 executes sales processing of the product based on the sales price of the product associated with the device ID in the product management table. Here, the sales processing unit 33 is based on the sales price associated with the device ID on condition that the communication unit 31 receives the order information within a predetermined period after the price is stored in the storage unit 32. , And sale processing of goods may be executed.

  The sales processing unit 33 may acquire the market price of the product via the network N2 and determine the sales price based on the acquired market price. For example, when the acquired market price includes a price lower than the sales price associated with the device ID, the sales processing unit 33 sets the price corresponding to the lowest market price as the sales price. By doing this, the user can purchase the product with peace of mind.

  Further, the sales processing unit 33 stores the market price stored in the storage unit 32 from the market price acquired via the Internet even before the predetermined period has passed since the storage unit 32 stores the price. If the value is higher than the predetermined value, the sale processing of the product may be performed at a price higher than the sale price stored in the storage unit 32. In this case, the sales processing unit 33 transmits a message notifying the change of the price to the communication terminal 2, and the sales price stored in the storage unit 32 on condition that the user's approval message is received from the communication terminal 2 Perform sales processing of goods at higher prices. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the company operating the sales processing device 3 and the sales shop 4 from being unprofitable. The sales processing unit 33 may update the sales price in the product management table to a new price in response to receiving the approval message.

  Further, the sales processing unit 33 executes the settlement processing of goods based on the settlement information corresponding to the user ID included in the order information by referring to the sales condition table shown in FIG. If the settlement information corresponding to the user ID indicates “carrier settlement”, the sales processing unit 33 adds the purchase price of the product to the communication charge of the user corresponding to the user ID. The sales processing unit 33 transmits information indicating the purchase price of the product to a carrier payment server (not shown) that manages the communication charge of the user, and the carrier payment server adds the purchase price of the product to the communication charge. It is also good.

  If the payment information indicates “credit card”, the sales processing unit 33 uses a credit card management server (not shown) that manages the usage history of the credit card, a credit card number associated with the user ID, and a product Send payment information indicating the purchase price. By doing this, the purchase price of the product is settled using the user's credit card.

  Similarly, when the payment information indicates "prepaid card", the sales processing unit 33 uses a prepaid card management server (not shown) that manages the balance of the prepaid card, a prepaid card number associated with the user ID, and Send payment information indicating the purchase price of the product. The prepaid management server manages the balance of the prepaid card in association with the prepaid card number. When the prepaid management server receives the payment information, the purchase price of the product is paid by subtracting the purchase price of the product from the balance of the prepaid card.

  In addition, the sales processing unit 33 accesses the point management server (not shown) that manages points in association with the user ID when executing the settlement process, and executes the settlement process using the points owned by the user You may Further, the sales processing unit 33 accumulates the settlement history (usage log) in the storage unit 32, generates information which analyzes the consumption trend based on the accumulated settlement history, and information on marketing, etc., and stores the generated information as a store And may be provided to related companies, etc.

  Further, the sales processing unit 33 calculates the amount of payment for the store 4 that has transmitted the order information. The sales processing unit 33 periodically (for example, every one month) calculates a total value of the amounts ordered to each store 4 and executes payment processing for each store 4.

  If the sales processing unit 33 receives another order information after the reception of the order information and until the predetermined time elapses, the plurality of order information received before the predetermined time elapses. The sales processing of a plurality of corresponding products may be executed collectively. For example, when the sales processing unit 33 receives order information, and then receives another order information within the standby time stored in the storage unit 32 in association with at least one of the user ID, device ID and product ID. When the waiting time for the last received order information has elapsed, order information for the product corresponding to the first order information and the product corresponding to the other order information is transmitted to the store 4.

  When the waiting time for the last received order information has passed, the sales processing unit 33 adds up the prices of all the products and executes the settlement process. It should be noted that when a predetermined time has passed after the first order information has been received, the sales processing unit 33 does not take too long from the reception of the first order information to the sale processing of the product. The sale processing of the product corresponding to the other order information newly received after that may not be executed collectively.

[Sequence at the time of product sale]
FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are diagrams showing the sequence of sales processing in the commodity sales system S of the first embodiment, and are diagrams for explaining the flow of the ordering method executed in the commodity sales system S. FIG. 6 shows the flow of processing in the order receiving device 1 and the communication terminal 2, and FIG. 7 shows the flow of processing in the sales processing device 3.

  First, when detecting that the button of the operation reception unit 13 is pressed (S101), the control unit 11 transmits an order request signal to the communication terminal 2 via the wireless unit 14 (S102). When the control unit 21 receives the order request signal (S201), the control unit 21 transmits order information including the device ID included in the order request signal and the user ID stored in the storage unit 22 to the sales processing device 3 ( S202). When the sales processing is completed in the sales processing device 3, the control unit 21 receives, from the sales processing device 3, a processing completion notification indicating that the sales processing has been completed (S203). When receiving the processing completion notification, the control unit 21 displays on the display unit 26 that the sales processing has been completed (S204).

  Subsequently, the flow of processing in the sales processing device 3 will be described with reference to FIG. When the sales processing unit 33 receives order information from the communication terminal 2 (S301), the sales processing unit 33 monitors whether a predetermined time has elapsed (S302). Until the predetermined time elapses (NO in S302), sales processing unit 33 monitors whether or not the cancellation request is received from communication terminal 2 (S303). If the sales processing unit 33 receives the cancellation request (YES in S303), the sales processing unit 33 ends the sales processing. When the cancellation processing has not been received (NO in S303), the sales processing unit 33 returns to S302, and repeats S302 and S303 until a predetermined time has elapsed.

  When the predetermined time has elapsed in S302 (YES in S302), the sales processing unit 33 specifies the product ID based on the received order information (S304). Subsequently, the sales processing unit 33 specifies the sales price of the item corresponding to the item ID with reference to the item management table shown in FIG. 5 (S305).

  Subsequently, the sales processing unit 33 refers to the sales condition table shown in FIG. 4 to specify the address of the shipping destination corresponding to the user ID included in the order information (S306), and the order information is sold to the store. The sending process is executed by transmitting to 4 (S307). When the shipping process is completed, the sales processing unit 33 refers to the sales condition table shown in FIG. 4 to identify the settlement method corresponding to the user ID included in the order information (S308), and specifies the settlement method The settlement process is executed at step S309. When the shipping process and the settlement process are completed, the sales processing unit 33 transmits a process completion notice indicating that the process is completed to the communication terminal 2 (S310).

  In the process illustrated in FIG. 7, the order in which the sales processing unit 33 executes S304, S305, S306, and S308 is arbitrary. Further, the order in which the sales processing unit 33 executes S307 and S309 is also arbitrary. Furthermore, the sales processing unit 33 may execute S310 when the shipping process is completed, even before the settlement process is completed.

[Effect in the First Embodiment]
As described above, in the commodity sales system S according to the first embodiment, when the user of the communication terminal 2 presses the operation receiving unit 13 of the order receiving device 1, the device ID of the order receiving device 1 and the communication terminal Ordering information including a user ID of 2 is transmitted from the communication terminal 2 to the sales processing device 3. Then, the sales processing device 3 executes a process of specifying a desired product by the user based on the received device ID and shipping the product to the specified address based on the user ID. Further, the sales processing device 3 executes the settlement process of the price of the product by the settlement method specified based on the user ID. By doing this, the user of the communication terminal 2 can purchase a product simply by pressing the operation receiving unit 13 without setting the product name and the number of items to be purchased and without transferring the price. Becomes possible.

  Further, since the sales processing device 3 can execute the sales processing of the number of products associated with the device ID, a plurality of users who want to purchase a plurality of products together do not operate the order receiving device 1 many times. You can easily buy the goods.

  Further, since the sales processing device 3 sells the product at a preset price in association with the device ID, the user of the communication terminal 2 can safely press the operation receiving unit 13 to purchase the product. Further, the sales processing device 3 acquires a market price, and when the market price is higher than a preset sales price by a predetermined value or more, the product sales are performed by executing sales processing of the product at a price higher than the sales price.
