The order request receiving unit 642 generates screen data of the delivery time selection screen based on the acquired delivery time information and the current time, and transmits the screen data to the user terminal 2. The delivery time selection screen has a button for selecting either the shortest possible delivery time from the current time or the time that can be delivered after that, and the desired delivery date and time when the shortest possible delivery time or later is selected. Contains a field to enter. The control unit 24 of the user terminal 2 displays the received screen data on the display unit 23. The user inputs the desired delivery date and time on the delivery time selection screen by the input unit 22. The control unit 24 transmits the input desired delivery date and time to the foodstuff ordering device 6.

Upon receiving the information on the desired delivery date and time, the food material ordering device 6 performs a billing process (step S145). Specifically, when the order request receiving unit 642 of the foodstuff ordering device 6 receives the information of the desired delivery date and time from the user terminal 2, the order confirmation processing unit 643 inputs the data of the payment screen for inputting the payment information. Send to terminal 2. The user terminal 2 transmits information regarding payment entered by the user on the payment screen to the foodstuff ordering device 6. The order confirmation processing unit 643 of the food material ordering device 6 performs billing processing based on the received information regarding payment.

When the billing process is normally completed, the food material ordering device 6 confirms the order (step S150). The order confirmation processing unit 643 sets the product ID, product name, classification, attribute, order quantity and price information of the ordered product, the information for specifying the store of the order destination, and the information of the order history in which the order date and time information is set. Is added to the user information. The order confirmation processing unit 643 may update the inventory quantity set in the product information of the ordered product to a value obtained by subtracting the order quantity of the ordered product. Further, the order confirmation processing unit 643 sets the orderer information such as the user's name, address and contact information, the product ID of the ordered product, the product name and the order quantity information, and the order data in which the desired delivery date and time information is set. Generate. The order confirmation processing unit 643 transmits the generated order data to the store device 4 of the store where the order is placed. The control unit 45 of the store device 4 registers the received order data in the storage unit 44, and further displays the order data on the display unit 43. The store delivers the product to the user based on the order data.

In the above, the store information storage unit 62 of the foodstuff ordering device 6 stores the store information, but the storage unit 44 of the store device 4 may store the store information.

The user terminal 2 may send an ordering procedure start request to the foodstuff ordering device 6. In this case, the service providing unit 33 of the recipe search service providing device 3 reads the recipe information for which the user has made an ordering procedure start request from the recipe information storage unit 32 and returns it in response to the request from the foodstuff ordering device 6.

Further, when the user terminal 2 transmits the ordering procedure start request to the foodstuff ordering device 6, the URL for accessing the foodstuff ordering device 6 is embedded as a link in the ordering procedure start button B1 of the recipe service providing screen G1. When the control unit 24 of the user terminal 2 detects that the ordering procedure start button B1 has been pressed, the control unit 24 transmits an ordering procedure start request with the recipe identification information added to the URL embedded in the ordering procedure start button B1 as a destination. .. As the recipe identification information, a URL for providing the recipe service providing screen G1 for which the user has requested to start the ordering procedure or a recipe ID embedded in the recipe service providing screen G1 can be used. Upon receiving the ordering procedure start request from the user terminal 2, the ordering procedure start unit 640 acquires the recipe identification information. The ordering procedure start unit 640 reads the recipe information specified by the acquired recipe identification information from the recipe information storage unit 32 and outputs it to the product information transmission unit 641. As a result, it is possible to provide an ordering service for ingredients used in the recipe searched by the user by simply changing the recipe service providing screen and without adding a large function to the existing recipe search service providing device 3. It becomes. For example, the food material ordering device 6 may manage the user information, and the recipe search service providing device 3 does not have to manage the user information.

Further, the user may search for a plurality of recipes and collectively purchase the ordered products for each recipe. In this case, after the user terminal 2 displays the screen data of the order list display screen, the user further searches for the recipe without pressing the purchase button, and confirms the product to be ordered for the searched recipe. When the food material ordering device 6 receives a new order request from the user terminal 2, the food material ordering device 6 acquires information on the ordered product and the ordered quantity from the order request. When the ordered product is not registered in the order list information, the order request receiving unit 642 additionally sets the product ID, product name, price, and order quantity of the ordered product in the order list information. If the ordered product is already registered in the order list information, the order request receiving unit 642 adds the order quantity of the ordered product registered in the order list information to the order quantity of the ordered product obtained from the order request. Update to the value you have set. The food material ordering device 6 generates screen data of the order list display screen based on the updated order list information and transmits it to the user terminal 2. When the user presses the purchase button on the order list display screen and the user terminal 2 transmits the purchase request to the foodstuff ordering device 6, the foodstuff ordering system 1 performs the process from step S140. As a result, the user can order the ingredients of a plurality of recipes at once.

Next, the product information search process performed in step S125 (see FIG. 8) will be described in detail. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing a product information search process of the food material ordering device 6. The product information transmission unit 641 of the food material ordering device 6 acquires the food material information from the material information included in the recipe information acquired by the ordering procedure start unit 640 (step S205). Further, the product information transmission unit 641 acquires a word other than the word representing the ingredient as additional information based on the cooking name, the ingredient, and the cooking procedure information included in the recipe information (step S210).

As additional information, for example, words other than the ingredients obtained as a result of morphological analysis of information on the cooking name, ingredients, and cooking procedure can be used. For example, the product information transmission unit 641 can use "ginger-grilled", "curry", etc. obtained from the dish name as additional information. At this time, the relationship of word dependency may be analyzed, and the word related to the word representing the foodstuff may be used as additional information of the foodstuff. For example, when the material contains "sliced pork", the word "sliced" related to the word "pork" representing the foodstuff can be used as additional information of the foodstuff "pork".

Alternatively, a search word, which is a word used as additional information, or a search word and a related word of the search word may be registered in the product information transmission unit 641. The product information transmission unit 641 uses the search word as additional information if it is included in any of the information of the dish name, the ingredient, and the cooking procedure, and if the related word is included, corresponds to the related word. The attached search word is used as additional information. For example, the related word "ginger-grilled" is stored in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the product information transmitting unit 641 in association with the search words "ginger-grilled" and "sliced". The product information transmission unit 641 acquires the search words "ginger-yaki" and "thin slices" to be used as additional information based on the word "ginger-yaki" acquired from the dish name. According to this, it becomes easy to provide ingredients in a processed state more suitable for cooking.

In addition, a word representing a food ingredient, a search word, and a related word may be registered in the product information transmission unit 641 in association with each other. For example, in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the product information transmission unit 641, the word "tofu" representing the foodstuff, the search word "cotton", and the related word "sukiyaki" are registered in association with each other. The product information transmission unit 641 uses the search word "tofu" as additional information to be used for the foodstuff "tofu" based on the word "tofu" representing the foodstuff obtained from the material information and the word "sukiyaki" other than the foodstuff obtained from the cooking name. Get "cotton".

Further, for example, in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the product information transmission unit 641, the word "rice" representing the foodstuff, the search word "foreign product", and the related word "paella" are registered in association with each other. The product information transmission unit 641 acquires the search word "foreign product" as additional information used for the food material "rice" based on the word "paella" other than the food material acquired from the dish name. According to the above two examples, it becomes easy to provide materials and ingredients of the production area that are more suitable for the dish desired by the user.

Further, for example, in a storage unit (not shown) provided in the product information transmission unit 641, the words "pork" and "beef" representing ingredients, the search word "block", and the related word "diced" are registered in association with each other. I will do it. The product information transmission unit 641 acquires the word "beef" representing the foodstuff and the word "diced" other than the foodstuff related to the word from the cooking procedure "cut the beef into cubes." The product information transmission unit 641 uses the search word "block" corresponding to the word "beef" representing the food material and the related word "diced" as additional information of the food material "beef". This facilitates the provision of ingredients suitable for the cooking procedure (in other words, reducing failures).

The product information transmission unit 641 selects one unselected food material information from the food material information acquired in step S205 (step S210). The product information transmission unit 641 collates the information of the selected foodstuff with the information of the classification set in the product information, and selects the product information (step S215). For example, when the food material information is "pork", the product information transmission unit 641 selects the product information in which "pork" is set in the classification.

Subsequently, the product information transmission unit 641 collates the additional information acquired from the recipe information with the usage set in the product information selected in step S210, and selects the product information for the usage that matches the additional information ( Step S220). For example, the product information transmission unit 641 selects product information in which the additional information "ginger-grilled" obtained based on the word included in the dish name is set as the usage information. When the product information transmission unit 641 determines that the product information selected in step S220 has existed (step S225: YES), the product information transmission unit 641 performs the process from step S240 described later.

On the other hand, when the product information transmission unit 641 determines that the product information selected in step S220 does not exist (step S225: NO), the product information transmission unit 641 performs the process of step S230. That is, the product information transmission unit 641 collates the additional information obtained based on the recipe information with the type set in the product information obtained in step S215, and selects the type of product information that matches the additional information. Select (step S230). For example, if the information of the selected material is "pork" and the additional information is "sliced", the product information selected in step S215 as being set to "pork" in the classification is changed to "sliced" as the type information. Select the product information for which "" is set.

Next, the product information transmission unit 641 collates the additional information obtained based on the recipe information with the information on the production area or material set in the product information selected in step S230, and selects the product information. (Step S235). For example, if the information of the selected material is "pork" and the additional information is "domestic", among the product information selected in step S230, the product information in which "domestic" is set as the production area information is selected. do. If there is no product information selected in step S230, the additional information obtained based on the recipe information is collated with the information of the production area or material set in the product information selected in step S215 and added. You may select the product information of the production area or material that matches the information.

The product information transmission unit 641 may receive information on the production area or material used as additional information from the user terminal 2, or may acquire it from the order history information set in the user information. When acquiring from the order history, information on the production area or material is acquired from the attribute information of the product ordered by the user in the past for the selected ingredient.

If there is an unselected food material (step S240: NO), the product information transmission unit 641 repeats the process from step S205. When the product information transmission unit 641 determines that all the ingredients have been selected (step S240: YES), the product information transmission unit 641 determines the product information having the highest priority among the selected product information for each ingredient (step S245). ..

The display condition for determining the product information having the highest priority is received from the user terminal 2, but the display condition when the user placed an order in the past or the default display condition may be used. When the display condition is "store recommendation", the product information for which a time sale or a special price is set in the comment information is given the highest priority. When the display condition is "domestic production", the product information for which domestic production is set in the production area information is given the highest priority. When the display condition is "cheap", the product information in which the cheapest price information is set is set as the highest priority. In addition, you may compare by the price per unit amount. When the display condition is the "minimum amount", the product information in which the amount of the ingredients obtained from the recipe information is exceeded and the amount closest to the amount is set is set as the highest priority. Alternatively, the product information in which the seasonal production area of the product is set from the current date and time may be given the highest priority.

A plurality of display conditions may be combined. In addition, the display mode of the product display information of the product for which a time sale, a special price, or the like is set in the comment information may be changed regardless of the display conditions. For example, on the ordering screen G3, the product display information of a product having a high priority based on the display conditions is displayed with a different background color, and the product display information of a product for which a time sale or a special price is set is displayed with a red frame. It may be displayed by enclosing it with.

If the product information transmission unit 641 determines that the product information selected in step S220 has existed (step S225: YES), the process from step S235 may be performed, and after the process of step S220, step S225 The process from step S230 may be performed without performing the process of.
