Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product comparison information providing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a wide variety of products have appeared on the market, and the purchaser is wondering which product to buy. On the other hand, the salesperson also had to convey a large amount of information to the purchaser, which was a heavy burden. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional business negotiation, but the fact is that the salesperson took time only to transmit a large amount of product information to the purchaser, and it was difficult to reach the original contract. is there. In particular, when comparing product types and their specifications, it is necessary to compare and refer to a large number of catalogs having different display formats one by one, which is extremely complicated.

[0003]

In such a case, it would be convenient if there is a collection of information for each specific element that specifies the product such as the manufacturer name and the product type. For this reason,
There is a personal computer or the like that stores the information and issues it in a list form at the request of the purchaser.
However, there is a huge amount of product information to be entered, and there is no information that is organized and stored in a convenient form for buyers, and at best, a list of manufacturers or the types of products manufactured by manufacturers are displayed along with their prices. It was just what was being said. The present invention solves such a problem, and, in short, is intended to provide product comparison information in a comparison table format.

[0004]

Under the above problems, the present invention is product comparison information stored in a computer, and the product comparison information is classified into several comparison elements, and
Information of multiple products is stored for each comparison element,
When the comparison display operation is performed by specifying the comparison element, the information of each product in the comparison element is displayed on the screen in the comparison table format,
The present invention provides a product comparison information providing device characterized by being printed as a comparison table when a printing operation is performed.

[0005]

With the above means, when a certain comparison element is specified, comparison information of a plurality of products in the comparison element can be obtained in a comparison table format.

[0006]

1 and 2 are explanatory views showing an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic computer is processed by a processing program. In the processing program, various kinds of information regarding products are organized and stored. The product information includes the manufacturer name, product type, specifications, and other detailed information.
Further, incidental information such as customer name, payment condition, tax, and loan are also stored.

[0007] FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of information by taking a passenger car as an example, but the product information is in the order from the higher order to the lower order, and the manufacturer name, vehicle type (product type) and grade (specification, respectively). ), Specific elements for specifying a product such as detailed information, and corresponding items (corresponding items) in each specific element, which are stored in a list form. For example, if the specific element is set to a vehicle model of a certain manufacturer, the name of the vehicle model is displayed on the screen in a list form.

[0008] In this case, there is a case in which higher-order information such as a vehicle model of a certain manufacturer is included in a vehicle model of another manufacturer. In addition, even if the specific element is a vehicle type, lower-level information such as grade and detailed information may be included. Further, the applicable item such as the price may be commonly included in any specific element.

As a result, when a purchaser visits a dealer to buy a passenger car, the contents can be seen at a glance by looking at a list of desired specific elements. It will be useful to have a comparison table for comparing specific elements with others. Therefore, in the present invention, several comparison elements are defined, information for each comparison element is organized and stored in the same manner as in the case of the specific element, and this is displayed on the screen in the comparison table format. It is a thing.

FIG. 4 shows an output comparison table. As comparison elements, "performance / dimensions", "suspension",
"Visibility", "instrument panel", etc. are defined, and information corresponding to each comparison element is stored in a comparison table format. Thus, when the comparison display operation is performed by specifying the comparison element, the information is displayed on the screen in the comparison table format, and when the printing operation is performed, the information is printed as the comparison table.

By the way, as described above, the information in a certain comparison element is not limited to the range of the same series, and the information from other series may be collected. That is, for example, the comparison information in the “performance / dimension” comparison element is not limited to the same manufacturer, but may be collected from other manufacturers. Also, the types to be compared are not limited to two, and there may be more types. The above is the case where the product is an automobile, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be easily applied to products in which many manufacturers such as electric products manufacture many product types and specifications. .

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, if a specific comparison element is set, information of a plurality of products is displayed on the screen in a comparison table format, which is very convenient for the purchaser. At the same time, the burden on sales staff is lightened, and as a result, the efficiency of business negotiations is improved.
