For example, the deliveryman terminal 200-1 is a deliveryman terminal 200 used by a deliveryman (deliveryman D1) identified by the deliveryman ID "D1". Further, in the following, when the deliveryman terminal 200-1 to 200-N will be described without particular distinction, it will be referred to as a deliveryman terminal 200.

Further, in the following description, the information providing device 10 is the position (for example, address) of the user U of the delivery service, the waiting place of the delivery staff, and each store registered as the provider of the product to be delivered in the delivery service. It is assumed that the location information indicating the location of the (actual store) has been acquired.

First, the information providing device 10 acquires an over-the-counter price, which is the price of a product sold at each store (step Sa1). For example, the information providing device 10 manages product information including information such as product names, product images, and inventory quantity of products sold at each store, and store prices from an external server managed by the business operator of each store. get.

Subsequently, the information providing device 10 presents the user U with an asking price different from the over-the-counter price together with the product information (step Sa2). For example, the information providing device 10 delivers to the user U content for purchasing a product that the user of the delivery service desires to deliver (hereinafter, may be referred to as “delivery content”). Then, the information providing device 10 corresponds to an asking price (for example, a suggested retail price) which is a price higher than the store price (for example, a price discounted from the fixed price (suggested retail price)) on the delivery content. Present to user U together with product information. In the example of FIG. 1, the information providing device 10 presents to the user U the product information about the product sold at the store S1 located at the nearest position from the position of the user U and the corresponding asking price.

Then, the delivery person D1 delivers the purchased product to the user U.

In the delivery service provided by the information providing device 10 described above, a delivery fee is collected from the user, and a sales fee for selling the product on the delivery content is collected from the store. Here, the transfer of money generated in the delivery service according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of giving and receiving money generated in the delivery service according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the user (purchaser) of the delivery service pays the delivery fee of the product to the delivery service. In addition, the purchaser pays the price of the product for which the purchase operation is performed on the delivery content (in other words, the price based on the asking price) to the delivery service or the store, and receives the product through the delivery person employed by the delivery service. Then, the delivery service pays a salary (for example, an hourly wage or a salary according to the number of deliveries (percentage salary)) to the delivery person.

Here, when the purchaser pays the price of the product to the delivery service, the delivery service grants the delivery person the price based on the store price of the product for which the purchaser has made a purchase operation on the delivery content. .. Then, the delivery person purchases the product at the store using the price given by the delivery service. That is, the price based on the store price of the product is paid to the store, and as a result, the difference between the price based on the store price and the price paid by the purchaser (the price based on the asking price) is collected as a sales commission in the delivery service. Will be done.

In addition, when the purchaser pays the price of the product to the store, the store does not receive the payment for the product picked by the delivery person (the product that the purchaser performed the purchase operation), and the store provides information about the product. Is read by the terminal device of the store (for example, a POS terminal), and the inventory of the product in the store is erased. Then, the store pays the delivery service the difference between the price based on the store price of the product and the price based on the asking price as a sales commission.

In the example of FIG. 1, the information providing device 10 shows an example of presenting the asking price of the product to be sold at one store (store S1) located at the position closest to the position of the user U. The processing by the information providing device 10 is not limited to such an example. For example, the information providing device 10 may present the asking price of the product sold in a plurality of stores to the user. Here, the provision process in the case of presenting the asking price of the product sold in a plurality of stores will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a provision process executed by the information providing device.

Since the information providing device 10, the user terminal 100, and the deliveryman terminal 200 in the information providing system 2 shown in FIG. 3 have the same configuration as the information providing system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, the information providing device 10 presents the product information about the products sold in the stores S1 and S2 located within a predetermined range (for example, 1 km) from the position of the user U and the corresponding asking price in the delivery content. do. Here, the information providing device 10 presents the product information and the asking price of the products of the same type, which are the products sold individually by the stores S1 and S2, in the delivery content as the information about the single product. To give a specific example, store S1 sells the product "mineral water # 1" at the store price "100 yen", and store S2 sells the product "mineral water # 1" at the store price "90 yen". If so, the information providing device 10 presents information on the product "mineral water # 1" for which the asking price "120 yen" higher than the over-the-counter price in the stores S1 and S2 is set as the delivery content.

Subsequently, the information providing device 10 selects the store having the largest difference between the store price and the asking price for each product designated as the purchase target by the user U (step Sb2). For example, when the user U designates the product "mineral water # 1" as the purchase target, the information providing device 10 has the product "mineral water" at the store price "90 yen", which has the largest difference from the asking price "120 yen". The store S2 that sells "# 1" is selected as the purchase store that purchases the product "mineral water # 1".

Subsequently, the information providing device 10 provides the delivery person with purchase target information indicating the store selected for each product designated by the user U (step Sb3). For example, the information providing device 10 obtains purchase target information indicating a product for which the user has made a purchase operation on the delivery content, a purchase store for each product, and the location information indicating the position of the user U in the store S1. Alternatively, it is provided to the delivery person D1 who is waiting at the nearest position from S2.

Subsequently, the delivery person D1 purchases the product at each store and delivers it to the user (step Sb4). For example, the delivery person D1 purchases the corresponding product at the purchasing store selected for each product specified by the user U, and delivers the corresponding product to the user U.

As described above, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment realizes the purchase and delivery of the product by the delivery staff by providing the delivery staff with the purchase target information indicating the product designated as the purchase target by the user. As a result, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment provides the product delivery service to the user without the store side performing complicated processing such as arrangement of product delivery and purchase processing of the designated product. be able to. That is, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment can reduce the burden on the store side when providing the delivery service.

Further, in the delivery service provided by the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment, it is obtained by an abitrage using the price difference between the price paid by the delivery person to the store (store price) and the price paid by the user (offer price). Since the profit is collected as a sales commission, the store does not actually bear the sales commission from its own sales. That is, the information providing device 10 according to the embodiment can reduce the financial burden on the store side when providing the delivery service.

(About calculation unit 42)
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the suggested retail price is presented to the user as the asking price of the product is shown. However, if there is a factor that changes the demand for product delivery by the delivery service, there may be a request to change the asking price of the product according to the factor. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 calculates the asking price of the product based on the weather when the product is purchased. To give a specific example, the calculation unit 42 determines that when the weather when the product is purchased is bad weather (for example, heavy rain, strong wind, typhoon, snowfall, etc.), the over-the-counter price (for example, the suggested retail price) is higher than the suggested retail price. The asking price is calculated by multiplying the discounted price) by a predetermined ratio (for example, 110% or 120%) according to the weather to the normal asking price (for example, the suggested retail price).

Furthermore, if there is a factor that changes the demand for the product, there may be a request to change the asking price according to the factor. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the asking price of the product based on the purchase history of the product. For example, the calculation unit 42 refers to the sales history database 34 and predicts the demand for the product based on the sales history of the product. Then, the calculation unit 42 determines the asking price of the product (for example, higher than the over-the-counter price and the normal asking price) obtained by dividing the normal asking price by a predetermined ratio during the time zone or the day of the week when the demand for the product is low. Lower price) is calculated. Further, the calculation unit 42 calculates the asking price of the product by multiplying the normal asking price by a predetermined ratio in the time zone or the day of the week when the demand for the product is high.

For example, the calculation unit 42 multiplies a predetermined ratio by the normal asking price of a product (for example, a sports drink) related to the event "athletic meet" for a user located in the area where the event "athletic meet" occurs. Calculate the offered price.

Furthermore, there may be a desire to promote the continuous use of the delivery service by the user by changing the asking price presented to the user (for example, lowering the asking price) according to the performance of the delivery service. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the asking price of the product based on the attributes of the user. For example, the calculation unit 42 refers to the sales history database 34 and calculates the asking price to be presented to the user according to the number of times the user has used the delivery service (whether or not it is a repeater). To give a specific example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the offer price obtained by dividing the normal offer price by a predetermined ratio for the user (repeater) whose number of times the delivery service is used is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold value. do. Further, the calculation unit 42 calculates the asking price obtained by dividing the normal asking price by a predetermined ratio for the user (new user) who has never used the delivery service.

The calculation unit 42 may calculate the asking price of the product based on the demographic attribute and the psychographic attribute of the user. For example, the calculation unit 42 refers to the sales history database 34 and predicts the demand for the product for each attribute such as the age, gender, and family structure of the user based on the sales history of the product. Then, the calculation unit 42 calculates the asking price of the product by dividing the normal asking price by a predetermined ratio for the user of the attribute in which the demand for the product is low. Further, the calculation unit 42 calculates the asking price of the product by multiplying the normal asking price by a predetermined ratio for the user of the attribute in which the demand for the product is high.

Furthermore, there may be a desire to enhance the appealing effect of the product by changing the asking price according to the condition of the product. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the asking price of the product based on the remaining period during which the product can be sold. For example, the calculation unit 42 divides a predetermined ratio from a normal asking price for a product whose period from the present time to the set date and time is within a predetermined threshold value (for example, 24 hours). Calculate the asking price of.

(About estimation unit 43)
When presenting product information to a user, there may be a desire to grasp a product that is easily designated as a purchase target by the user (that is, a product with a high appeal effect). Therefore, the estimation unit 43 estimates the accuracy with which the user designates the product as the purchase target. For example, the estimation unit 43 refers to the sales history database 34, predicts the demand for the product based on the sales history of the product, and estimates the accuracy as the predicted demand is higher. To give a specific example, the estimation unit 43 estimates the accuracy based on the demand predicted according to the weather, temperature, season, etc. when presenting the asking price to the user. Further, the estimation unit 43 estimates the accuracy based on the demand predicted according to the time zone and the day of the week when the asking price is presented to the user. Further, the estimation unit 43 estimates the accuracy based on the demand predicted according to the attribute of the user who presents the asking price. Further, the estimation unit 43 estimates the accuracy based on the demand predicted according to the event occurring in the area where the user who presents the offer price is located.

(About the presentation unit 44)
The presenting unit 44 presents to the user a presenting price that is the price of the product sold at the predetermined store and is different from the over-the-counter price that is the price when the product is purchased at the store. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the presentation unit 44 refers to the store database 32 and the product database 33, and corresponds to the product information related to the product sold in the store S1 located at the nearest position from the position of the user U. The asking price is presented to the user U.

Further, the presentation unit 44 may present a price higher than the over-the-counter price as the presentation price. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the presenting unit 44 sets the asking price (for example, the suggested retail price), which is higher than the over-the-counter price (for example, the price discounted from the suggested retail price), together with the corresponding product information. Present to user U.

Here, there may be a case where it is desired to promote the use of the delivery service by presenting the asking price discounted from the over-the-counter price on the delivery service. Therefore, the presenting unit 44 may present a price lower than the over-the-counter price as the offering price. For example, the presenting unit 44 presents the asking price, which is the price obtained by dividing the over-the-counter price by a predetermined ratio. When presenting a price lower than the over-the-counter price as the offer price, the presenting unit 44 may set the difference between the over-the-counter price and the offer price as the amount borne by the delivery service provider.

Furthermore, it may not be possible to meet the needs of users simply by presenting information on products sold at one store. Therefore, the presenting unit 44 may present the asking price of the product sold in a plurality of stores to the user. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the presenting unit 44 includes product information about products sold in stores S1 and S2 located within a predetermined range (for example, 1 km) from the position of the user U, and a corresponding asking price. Is presented in the delivery content.

Further, the presenting unit 44 may present the asking price of a single product, which is a plurality of products individually sold by the plurality of stores and of the same type. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, in the presentation unit 44, the store S1 sells the product "mineral water # 1" at the store price "100 yen", and the store S2 sells the product "mineral water # 1" at the store price "90 yen". The information providing device 10 presents information on the product "mineral water # 1" in which the asking price "120 yen" higher than the over-the-counter price in the stores S1 and S2 is set in the delivery content.

Furthermore, when the store operator provides content related to the delivery service, it is considered that the burden on the store side cannot be reduced. Therefore, the presentation unit 44 may present the offer price to the user via the web content of the delivery service provided by a business operator different from the store operator.
