It is not necessary to provide them, and instead of providing them on the terminal device 400 on the trader side, they may be provided on the terminal device 300 on the server side.

Next, the flow of various processes by the flower arrangement system 100, in particular, (A) transaction process based on order information, (B) transaction process based on sales information, and (C) multiple order information and multiple A description will be given of the flow of the transaction processing based on this sales information. (A), (B) and (C)
In the following description of each transaction process, for example, a transaction between a buyer and a seller is assumed.

Here, the terminal device of each trader is, for example,
With WWW browser as interface function,
It is assumed that various data transmitted via the server side are displayed on the screen. Then, it is assumed that the processing is advanced by the user of the terminal device operating on the screen. Then, a certain trader uses the flower arrangement system 100,
When performing each of the transaction processes (A), (B), and (C), first, the terminal device accesses the server side, so that the device has, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. The top screen is displayed. FIG. 3 is a top screen displayed when a customer becomes a buyer, and includes “order”, “reservation”, “general I”, “general II”, “contract / arrival”, “collection statistics”,
Various items such as “notification” and “end” are displayed. On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a top screen displayed when the user is a seller, and includes “order”, “reservation”, “copy”, “general”,
"Contract / arrival", "Collection Statistics", "Notice", "End"
Etc. are displayed. Note that these displays are configured such that when the character portion is clicked, a process corresponding to the character portion is executed, similarly to the icon function. Here, the characters are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Then, the user of the terminal device selectively specifies (clicks) each item using a mouse or the like. Thereby, processing corresponding to the item specified at this time is executed. For example, when performing the transaction of (A), the item of "order", when performing the transaction of (B), the item of "reservation", and when performing the transaction of (C), "general I" or " Select and specify the item "General II" or "General".

(A) Transaction Processing Based on Order Information (First Transaction: Reserved Relative Transaction Based on Order Information) This transaction processing is executed, for example, according to the flow shown in FIG.

The buyer selects and designates the item of "order" on the top screen of the own terminal device (FIG. 3). Thereby, the device is in a state where order information can be input. And
According to the procurement (purchase) plan, the buyer enters the order information, which is the desired purchase date, such as the desired purchase date, the item of the fresh flower, the variety, the color, the class, the place of production, the total number, and the price by keyboard. This information is sent to the server side. As a result,
For example, an order information list as shown in FIG. 6 is created on the server side, and is displayed on the screen on the terminal device on the buyer side. Then, on this screen (order information list screen), information such as “total number”, “unselected total number”, and “total amount” are displayed in addition to the order information input by the buyer. This “Total number”, “Unselected total number”, and “Total amount”
Are obtained by calculation on the server side, transmitted to the terminal device, and displayed. In this way, the buyer trader orders fresh flowers in accordance with the procurement (purchase) plan on his own terminal device.

By referring to the order information issued by the buyer on the screen on the terminal device, the seller can determine whether or not the buyer can ship the desired flower according to the sales (production) plan. Is determined, and if it can be shipped, it is input as keyboard information as application information. This application information is sent to the server. In this way, the seller applies for the order information issued by the buyer on its own terminal device. It should be noted that the seller can apply for all of the total number desired by the buyer, or can apply for a part thereof. Alternatively, it is possible to apply for more than the total number desired by the buyer.

The buyer trader refers to the order information list shown in FIG. 6 again on the screen on his own terminal device. The order information list at this time reflects the application information issued by the seller by the server side. Specifically, for example, in the “application” column of the order information list, the number of orders of sellers who have applied for the order information is displayed. By designating the adjacent "O" icon portion with a mouse, it is possible to refer to the detailed information of the seller who has applied for the order information. By referring to such an order information list screen by the buyer, the buyer selects the desired seller from among the sellers who have applied for the order information, makes a reservation, and inputs the reservation as keyboard information as order information. I do. This order information is sent to the server side and registered.

When the server makes a contract between the buyer and the seller, a notice of the contract is sent from the server to the seller, and the seller receives the notice, and the transaction with the buyer is received. Recognize the confirmation. Incidentally, the seller may recognize that the transaction of the buyer has been confirmed by referring to, for example, a list of the contract information on the screen of the terminal device without sending the notice of the contract.

At this time, the contract is reflected in the "unselected" column in the order information list shown in FIG. 6 on the buyer side. For example, if the desired total number of certain desired flowers is 100, and all 100 flowers are confirmed in this contract, the unselected number, which is the number of unconfirmed flowers, is 0. If 40 of the 100 are determined, the unselected number is 60. Further, when the number of applicants applied by the seller is larger than the desired total number, the unselected number is allowed to be negatively displayed, and the unselected number becomes a minus number (eg, -60).

In this case, after each seller applies for the order information of the buyer, the buyer selects the desired seller by referring to the applied information (see FIG. 5). See, for example, the buyer trader may additionally register new order information again without making a selection at this time. Alternatively, the previous order information may be deleted and new order information may be registered. In this case, the seller's application as described above is repeatedly applied to the updated order information. Further, when the buyer selects the above application information, all or a part of the application information may be selectable or rejectable.

(B) Transaction Processing Based on Sales Information (Second Transaction: Reserved Relative Transaction Based on Sales Information) This transaction processing is executed, for example, according to the flow shown in FIG. 7B.

The seller selects and designates the item of "reservation" on the top screen (FIG. 4) of the terminal device. As a result, the device enters a state in which sales information can be input. Then, the seller enters the sales information (shipping information), which is the desired sales information, such as the item, variety, color, arrival date, class, production area, producer name, number of boxes, and price of the desired fresh flower by keyboard. .
As a result, for example, a shipping information list as shown in FIG. 8 is created and displayed on the screen. Then, such sales information is sent to the server side. In this way, the seller sells fresh flowers on his own terminal device.

The buyer trader uses his / her own terminal device to search and refer to the sales information issued by the seller trader on the screen as shown in FIG. On the keyboard as purchase registration information. At this time,
Part of the desired number of boxes can also be registered. For example, the number of remaining boxes in the shipping information is 50, and the number of boxes originally desired by the buyer is 20, but only 10 of them can be registered. Then, such purchase registration information is sent to the server side. In this way, the buyer registers the purchase information on the own terminal device with respect to the shipping information issued by the seller (type 1).

The seller trader uses his / her own terminal device to determine the registration status of the buyer trader on the screen and make a decision, and makes a contract with the buyer trader.

When the purchaser performs the above-described purchase registration (type 1), the purchase price can be designated and used as purchase registration information (type 2). In this case, for example, a terminal device on the seller side automatically determines an appropriate buyer, for example, a buyer with the highest purchase price, based on each purchase price specified by a plurality of buyers. The algorithm may be executed. Further, with respect to the remaining 10 boxes in the sales information, the buyer trader can register, for example, 6 boxes as purchase registration information, and information indicating that the user purchases even 6 boxes or less. As a result, Koto 2
Even if the name of the buyer is registered to purchase 6 boxes each, if it is information that even if the purchase is less than 6 boxes, it is 6 boxes for you and 4 for the former.
It is possible to conclude a box.

(C) Transaction processing based on a plurality of purchase information and a plurality of sales information (Third transaction: a transaction in which a plurality of purchase information and a plurality of sales information are simultaneously determined and contracted sequentially from the one that satisfies both conditions) This transaction processing is executed, for example, according to the flow shown in FIG.

Here, the transaction processing is divided into two transaction processings (transaction processing of C1 and transaction processing of C2), and a top screen when these two transaction processings are buyers (see the above-mentioned figure). This corresponds to “general I” and “general II” in 3). The details of the transaction processing of C1 and the transaction processing of C2 are, for example, described later when the buyer registers the purchase as described above, but the method of purchase registration performed on the sales information issued by the seller is described below. different.

Therefore, if the seller cannot determine all the quantities issued as the sales information as a result of the above-described transaction processing (B), specifically, it may request to sell 100 boxes of a certain fresh flower. Regardless, if only 60 boxes of them can be closed with the buyer, 40 boxes will remain. If there is such a missing flower (uncontracted fresh flower), the seller searches for the uncontracted fresh flower on his own terminal device, obtains the information, and obtains the top screen (FIG. 4 above). By selecting and designating the item "copy", the process shifts to the present transaction processing for the fresh flowers which are not sold, that is, the fresh flowers which are not sold among the fresh flowers in the transaction processing (B). Then, the seller enters the sales information by keyboard in the same manner as in the transaction processing of (B), for the fresh flowers that have not been sold. In addition, at this time, if there is a fresh flower to be newly sold, sales information about the flower is also input. At this time, the minimum price information (the minimum sales price value) is also input. Then, such sales information is sent to the server side. Similarly, each of the other sellers also inputs the sales information of the fresh flower desired to be sold at its own terminal device. Then, the sales information of each seller is also sent to the server side. Therefore, sales information of a plurality of sellers exists on the server side. At this time, in response to a change in the sales situation that has occurred after the sales information has been copied to the server side, the seller looks at the screen of the own terminal device,
You may add or delete sales information. The details of the process of “copying” the top screen (FIG. 4) will be described later.

The buyer refers to the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers on the screen on its own terminal device, and proceeds to the sales information meeting the desired conditions in the same manner as in the transaction processing (B). At this time, the purchase registration is performed in the transaction processing of C1 or the transaction processing of C2 described above. That is, in the case of purchase registration in the transaction processing of C1, the buyer trader
“General I” is selected and designated on the top screen (FIG. 3) of the terminal device itself. This allows the device, as described above,
It becomes possible to refer to sales information issued by a plurality of sellers, and to enter purchase registration. The purchase registration here allows, for example, the condition (first transaction condition) of only the “item” and “color” of the desired fresh flower to be specified.
On the other hand, in the case of purchase registration in the transaction processing of C2, the buyer trader displays “General I
Select and specify "I". As a result, similarly to the transaction processing of C1, the device is in a state in which sales information issued by a plurality of sellers can be referred to and a purchase registration is possible. In this case, the purchase registration is performed, for example, for a desired flower arrangement. "Item" and "
In addition to the color, it is possible to specify other detailed conditions (second transaction conditions) such as "variety" and "grade". It can be specified for a plurality of sales information.
Then, such purchase registration information is sent to the server side. Similarly, each of the other buyers also refers to the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers on its own terminal device, and
Purchase registration is made in transaction processing 1 or C2. Therefore,
On the server side, there are sales information issued by a plurality of sellers and purchase registration information issued by a plurality of buyers.

On the server side, by a predetermined contract decision processing by a predetermined contract decision algorithm, the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers and the purchase registration information issued by a plurality of buyers are matched with both conditions. The contract (price) is determined in order from the ones that match. The contract determination algorithm here determines the contract in accordance with, for example, the order of the lower purchase price, the higher purchase price, the earlier input time of the purchase information, and the like. Information about this decision is sent to the seller and the buyer. As a result, each of the seller and the buyer has their own terminal device,
Recognize closing decisions.

By the way, in the fresh flower transaction system 100, in the transaction processing of (C) as described above, as a result of the transaction processing of C2 (specifying the conditions such as the type as well as the item and color),
With regard to purchase information that has not been concluded, the conditions can be relaxed by the purchase information on the buyer's own terminal device (specification of only the items and colors) and the process can be shifted to C1 transaction processing. Yes, this can be done automatically.

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, first, as described above, as a result of the transaction processing of (B),
For the uncontracted fresh flowers, the item "copy" on the top screen (FIG. 4) is selected and designated by the seller, and the process proceeds to the transaction process (C). For example, it shifts to the transaction processing of C2. As a result, the unsold sales information in the transaction processing of (B) is registered as sales information in the transaction processing of C2. At this time, if there is a new flower to be newly sold, the sales information of the flower is also registered as sales information in the transaction processing of C2.

Next, the buyer refers to unsold contract sales information registered as sales information in the transaction processing of C2 on his / her own terminal device, and if there is a desired fresh flower, registers the purchase information. . As a result, the server compares the sales information with the purchase information, and if both conditions are met, it is determined that the contract has been made, and if not, the contract has not been concluded. Then, the result is notified to the seller and the buyer. If the purchaser has not completed the registered purchase information based on the notification from the server,
The own terminal device relaxes the conditions of the sales information (specifies the condition of only the item and the color) and shifts the purchase information to the transaction processing of C1. Thereby, the purchase information at this time is registered as purchase information in the transaction processing of C1, and is processed in the transaction processing of C1.

Here, from such a transaction processing of C2, C
If it is desired to automatically shift to the transaction processing of No. 1, the buyer trader, at the time of registration of the purchase information, uses his / her own terminal device and if the registered purchase information has not been concluded in the transaction processing of C2, C
Make settings for automatic transition to the first transaction process. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the buyer can specify (click) an icon portion provided for each purchase information with a mouse or the like on the screen during the transaction processing of C2, thereby automatically Set up migration. This setting information is sent to the server side. As a result, the server recognizes the setting of automatic transfer, and if the conditions of both the sales information of the seller and the purchase information of the buyer match, the contract is determined as described above, and the reverse is performed. On the other hand, if both conditions do not match, the purchase information is determined to be uncontracted, automatically registered as purchase information in the transaction processing of C1, and processed in the transaction processing of C1.

By setting the automatic transfer as described above, the buyer can perform the transaction processing of C2 and the transaction processing of C1 in one operation.

In the flower arrangement system 100, for example, if a large amount of sales information remains unconcluded as a result of the transaction processing of C2, the server intervenes between the buyer and the seller. It is also made possible to conduct transactions.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the server side (market operator or the like) refers to the result of the transaction processing of C1 on its own terminal device. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the server uses a mouse or the like on a screen of the terminal device itself.
By performing operations such as specifying (clicking) an icon such as “Search for a contract” or “Search for a non-contracted contract”, a list screen of sales information of contracts and sales information of unsold contracts is output, and information on this screen is used. , C1. Then, various kinds of information included in the unsuccessful sales information are adjusted, and the closing rate is increased to be fixed. At this time, when the lower price included in the unsold sales information is adjusted, the adjusted sales information is registered again as sales information in the transaction processing of C1 and C2. Accordingly, the sales information whose lower limit price has been adjusted is processed in the transaction process of C1 in order from the transaction process of C2 as described above.

As described above, when the sales information whose lower limit price has been adjusted is processed again in the transaction processing of C1 and C2, the result is a provisional contract or an uncontracted contract.

Further, in the above-described contract determination algorithm, the contract is determined in the order of the desired purchase price or in the early stage of the information input. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The contract may be determined in accordance with a priority determined in advance by factors such as the above. Alternatively, a request to purchase a part of the desired purchase quantity if there is a remaining sales quantity may be permitted, and the request may be reflected in the determination of the priority order to determine the contract. Therefore, for example, in the case where the contract is determined in the order of the desired purchase price, if there is purchase information of the same price, the order of the larger quantity among them, the earlier of the information input, or the above-mentioned desired purchase quantity An algorithm of a part or a combination of those having a wide allowable range of purchase conditions on the buyer side such as a purchase permission in the case of a lack may be used. When the condition tolerance of the target product is high (the condition is loose), the process shifts to the transaction process (C). When the condition tolerance is low (the condition is severe), the process does not shift to the transaction process (C). , Etc. may be added.

In addition, the lower price information (lower price limit) is included in the sales information issued by the seller, but the lower price information may be set to “0” (zero) and a complete sales consignment method may be adopted. Alternatively, another parameter may be used instead of the lower limit price information. For example, information on the minimum number of units sold may be used.

Further, the condition input in the transaction processing of C1 and C2 (detailed condition input in C2, condition input in which the conditions are relaxed in C1) is determined and performed by the buyer trader. Within each item in advance ("breed",
"Item", "color", etc.) and their contents (for example, if the item is "item", contents of "chrysanthemum", "rose", etc.) are set, and the item desired by the buyer The contents (conditions) may be specified. Specifically, for example, when the commodity to be traded is a vegetable, the conditions of only "varieties" and "standards" and the conditions of the production area and producer name in the "variety" and "standards" are stored in a table or the like in advance. Have it ready. In the case of an air ticket, a plurality of conditions, such as a flight date and a section only, and an airline name or a specific flight number (a plurality of flights) are prepared in advance. This allows
The buyer can set various conditions.

The flow of each transaction process (A), (B), and (C) by the fresh flower transaction system 100 has been described above.

Next, the “price prediction function” of the terminal device on the server side will be specifically described.

This price prediction function is a function for predicting the fluctuation of the price of a flower to be traded in each of the above-mentioned transactions (A), (B) and (C). With this function, the market operator (manager) can easily predict the price on his / her own terminal device (terminal device on the server side).

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, in the terminal device on the server side, in the storage function (DBM), various data are stored by the individual market analysis function, and various data generated during the transaction are stored. Is done. Various data stored in the DBM is analyzed by a multivariate analysis process or the like, and a model is generated from the analysis result. Then, the generated model is used to predict a price change or the like with respect to the market situation at that time. Such price prediction can be performed in accordance with prediction conditions such as each fresh flower item or season.

Next, the above-described top screen (FIG. 4)
The processing by “copy” will be specifically described.

As described above, the process of "copying" (copying process) is a process performed when there is a sales omission on the seller side as a result of the transaction process (B). By doing, the transaction processing of (B) becomes (C)
Will be shifted to transaction processing.

That is, as shown in FIG. 15, as a result of the transaction processing of (B), a contracted fresh flower (contract shipment product)
Uncontracted fresh flowers (uncontracted shipment products) are generated.
At this time, the product price (sale price) is “x”, and the lower limit price (lowest desired price) is “y”. These pieces of information on the contracted and unsold products are sent to the terminal device on the server side and stored in the DBM.

The seller uses his / her own device and the DB on the server side.
For example, by referring to a screen of a list of unsuccessful shipments as shown in FIG. 16 generated from the storage information of M, it is determined whether or not to execute the copying process. Select and specify "Copy". Then, the seller side individually selects commodities to be copied and designates a product to be copied. still,
At this time, all the unsold products may be designated collectively. Further, the seller considers the selling price x to be the selling price x '(x ≠ x') and the lower limit price y to the lower limit price y '(y ≠
y ') can also be specified. As a result, the information on the unsuccessful shipping product stored in the DBM on the server side is used as the product information in the transaction process (C), including the price change. At this time, the seller side newly registers the product (new registration), sets the selling price x ₁ ′, and sets the lower limit price to y.
If you go as ₁ ', including this information,
This is the product information in the transaction process (C).

Then, the seller uses his / her own terminal device to display, for example, a sales information list screen as shown in FIG.
(C) Products that have shifted to transaction processing, newly registered products,
And the date on which the information was registered (information registration date).

In the sales information issued by the seller,
If other parameters (such as the minimum number of units sold) as described above are used instead of the lower limit price, those parameters will be changed.

Next, as another processing which can be performed by the fresh flower trading system 100, a collection statistical processing will be described.

The collection statistics processing is executed when the item "collection statistics" on the top screen shown in FIG. 4 is selected and designated in the terminal device on the seller side. That is, the seller selects and designates the item of “collective statistics” on the top screen by using the terminal device of the seller. Thereby, for example, a collection statistics information display list screen as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed on the apparatus. This collection statistics information display list screen displays information on transactions that will occur in the future (transactions that have already been determined), specifically, the date of delivery (delivery), the average price of fresh flowers, the highest price, the lowest price Includes information such as price and total number. By specifying conditions such as date, item, and product type on the screen, such information can be displayed for each specified condition. With such a screen, the seller can grasp the future schedule. Similarly, the buyer specifies his / her own terminal device by specifying the “collective statistics” item on the top screen (FIG. 3) and various conditions, thereby grasping the future schedule of the buyer. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the target product has been described as an example of a fresh product such as a fresh flower, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can also be applied to products with fixed expiration dates, such as air tickets, other transportation tickets, and concert tickets. For example, in the case of an air ticket, the producer mentioned above corresponds to the airline, the major seller corresponds to the sales department such as a branch of the airline, or the sales agent such as a major travel agency, and the small seller corresponds to each. It corresponds to dealers such as travel agencies and convenience stores that handle air tickets. Also, if you want to purchase two seats on the XXX flight on December 30 or 29, or buy two seats on the XXX or YYY flight from Airport A to Airport B on December 29, (A) corresponds to the transaction processing. The transaction based on the information that the XXX flight from December 29 to January 5 is α yen and the YYY flight is β yen and has 100 seats each corresponds to (B) transaction processing, and these conditions The transaction for determining the price and the quantity by matching the purchase information and the sales information having various spreads to the (C) transaction process. Therefore, as described above, the present invention is also applicable to a product with a term such as an air ticket or a product with a due date.

(Second Embodiment) In this embodiment,
As an example of a more concrete example of the above-described algorithm (C) for determining a contract in the transaction processing (an algorithm for establishing a transaction by linking a plurality of purchase information and a plurality of sales information), the following [ Algorithm 1] and [Algorithm 2]. Here, specifying a certain group, group, or the like based on items (such as “item” or “color”) included in sales information or purchase information is referred to as “clustering”, which is the basis of the clustering. The item is called “clustering attribute”. For example, when a plurality of pieces of purchase information are clustered with clustering attributes of “item” and “color”, a ring / white purchase information group (cluster),
Gerbera / red purchasing information group,... Will be generated.

[Algorithm 1] FIG. 19 illustrates the present algorithm. As shown in FIG.
Level 1 (“(A)” in the figure) that uses “type” and “color” as clustering attributes, Level 2 ((B) in the figure) that uses “type”, “color”, and “standard” as clustering attributes
Level 3 ((C) in the figure) in which “type”, “color”, “standard”, and “producer” are clustering attributes is defined in advance. That is, level 2 is more than level 1,
Level 3 is a more detailed condition specification than level 2. This level definition is prepared by the market operator, for example, by predetermining these levels (hereinafter, also referred to as “cluster level”) in a systematic manner. Here, three levels are defined for the sake of simplicity, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of levels may be prepared.

The buyer designates at which of the levels 1 to 3 the transaction is to be made, and sets the contents of each item of the clustering attribute of the designated level. Specifically, for example, a certain buyer specifies a transaction at level 1 and sets the desired “seimeku” and “white” for the “type” and “color” of the level 1 clustering attribute. Set. In addition, a buyer specifies a transaction at level 2 and, for the level 2 clustering attribute items “type”, “color”, and “standard”, the desired “seime” and “white”. , And “excellent L” are set. Therefore,
The purchaser issues purchase information in which the contents are set in the items of the clustering attribute according to each designated level. Here, the purchase information designated by level 1 is purchase information A-, the purchase information designated by level 2 is purchase information B-, and the purchase information designated by level 3 is purchase information C.
-.

Therefore, first, the purchase information A- with the finest condition specification is clustered by the items of the clustering attributes, "type", "color", "standard", and "producer". Further, the sales information from the seller is clustered according to the clustering attribute.
Then, within the same cluster, the purchase information and the sales information are linked and a contract is determined (hereinafter, the contract determination process is referred to as "contract determination process 1").

Next, purchase information A-
To the "variety", which is the item of the clustering attribute,
Cluster by “color” and “standard”. Further, according to the above clustering attributes, the sales information from the seller (the sales information remaining in the contract determination processing 1) is clustered. Then, in the same cluster, the purchase information and the sales information are linked and a contract is determined (hereinafter, the contract determination process is referred to as “contract determination process 2”).

Finally, the purchase information A- is clustered by the "type" and "color" items of the clustering attribute. Further, according to the above clustering attributes, the sales information from the seller (the sales information remaining in the contract determination processes 1 and 2) is clustered. Then, within the same cluster, the purchase information and the sales information are linked to determine a contract.

Here, in the clustering according to the algorithm described above, contracts are made in a predetermined processing order (here, level 3 → level 2 → level 1) for each corresponding cluster of purchase information and sales information. I decided to decide. This is because, for example, the cluster of “seimetsu” and “white” at level 1 is included in the clusters of “seimeku”, “white”, and “excellent L” at level 2. This is because a cluster may partially overlap with another cluster. Therefore, the processing order of level 3 → level 2 → level 1 where the demand level is high and the price increases is usually common for the seller, and thus, here, level 3 → level 2 → level 1 , Processing is performed in the detailed order of condition specification. However, the processing order is not limited, and the market operator or the like may arbitrarily define the processing order. The details of the linking at the time of the contract decision will be described later.

[Algorithm 2] In this algorithm,
As shown in FIG. 20 (a), the processing order of the purchase information from the buyer trader side (predetermined processing order such as the order of the desired purchase price, the order of the quantity, the order of the information input time, etc.) is determined. Then, the sales information is clustered in the determined order according to the conditions of the purchase information. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 20B, the order of processing the sales information from the seller (such as the order of the desired selling price is high or low, the order of the quantity is large, the order of the information input time is early, etc., is defined in advance. Processing order)
In the determined order, the purchase information is clustered according to the conditions of the sales information.

FIG. 21 shows an example of linking purchase information and sales information in a corresponding cluster in each algorithm as described above. Here, it is assumed that purchase information (1) to (4) exist in a certain cluster of purchase information, and sales information (a) to (b) exist in a corresponding cluster of sales information. Then, the linking criteria in the cluster are the price, the quantity, and the information input time. Further, the purchase information (1) and the purchase information (4) specify the same upper limit price, and the quantity specifies the same item in the same range. However, it is assumed that the purchase information (1) is input earlier than the purchase information (4). The purchase information (2) and the purchase information (3) specify a maximum price, a quantity, and a range different from those of others.
On the other hand, the sales information (b) specifies the lowest lowest price, and the sales information (c) specifies the highest lowest price. The sales information (a) specifies a price between each lower limit price of the sales information (b) and the sales information (c) as a lower limit price.

Therefore, the purchase information (1)-
The association between the cluster (4) and the clusters of the sales information (a) and (b) is performed in the following order.

1. The order of linking purchase information is determined in descending order of the maximum price. At this time, if there is purchase information with the same upper limit price, priority is given to the one with the larger quantity specified, and if the same quantity is specified, the earlier of the information input time is prioritized. Here, the purchase information specifying the highest maximum price is the purchase information (1) and the purchase information (4), and the purchase information (1) having the earlier information input time is the purchase information (1). Therefore, the purchase information (1) is prioritized. Accordingly, the order of linking the purchase information is as follows: purchase information (1) → purchase information (4) → purchase information (3) → purchase information (2).

2. The order of linking sales information is determined in the descending order of the lower limit price. Alternatively, from the viewpoint of prompting the buyer to input a high price of the upper limit price and prompting the seller to input a low price of the lower limit price, the order of linking the sales information is determined in ascending order of the lower limit price. Also at this time, if there is sales information with the same lower limit price, priority is given to the one with the larger quantity specified, and if the same quantity is specified, the earlier of the information input time is prioritized. Therefore, in the case of the order of the lowest price, the order of linking sales information is sales information (c) → sales information (a) → sales information (b), and in the order of the lowest price, sales information is linked. The order of attachment processing is sales information (b) →
Sales information (a) → sales information (c).

3. If the sales information is linked in the order of the lowest price, the purchase information (1) is linked to the first sales information (c) if the first sales information (c) satisfies the condition, and the contract is determined. . At this time, if the condition of the sales information (c) is not satisfied, it is linked to the next sales information (a). If the sales information (a) is not satisfied, it is linked to the last sales information (b). Further, for example, the purchase information (1) and the sales information (c) are linked, and the purchase information (1)
Is not satisfied with the quantity specified in the sales information (c), the next sales information (here, the sales information (a),
The association with the sales information (b)) is repeatedly performed. Similarly, when the sales information linking process is in the order of the lowest price, the purchase information (1) is linked in the order of the sales information (b), the sales information (a), and the sales information (c). Is closed. If you proceed with the linking process in this case,
Products with a lower price (lowest price) of sales information that is lower than the upper limit price of the purchase information (1) will be linked to the purchase information (1), so the probability of closing a deal will be higher, and transactions will be more active. Is effective. After that, the next purchase information (4) is processed in the same manner, and then the purchase information (3) and the purchase information (2) are processed in order.

Processing 3 described above For the price at the time of the closing decision in, the maximum price specified in the purchase information (＠
Although the determination is generally based on 1), the determination is not limited to this, and the determination may be based on the lower limit price ($ 2) specified in the sales information. Alternatively, it may be determined based on the price specified in each of the purchase information and the sales information. For example, the subdivision point (($) of the upper limit price ($ 1) of the purchase information and the lower price ($ 2) of the sales information
Price is determined based on 1 + $ 2) / 2).

In the above-described linking processing and price determination processing, NON rules or GAs may be used according to the characteristics of the target content or the evaluation function of the transaction participant.

In the present embodiment, the target product is a fresh flower, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a product with a fixed expiration date, such as an air ticket, a ticket for another transportation, or a concert ticket.

As an example of this, FIG. 22 shows that when the target product is an air ticket, the buyer side sets various conditions (restrictions on the contents of the clustering attribute items at various cluster levels) on the seller side sales information. This shows how the degree of abstraction in the order of the linking process when the above is performed corresponds to the case of the fresh flowers described above. As shown in FIG. 22, in the case of an air ticket, in addition to the common items “price” and “quantity”, “flight number”, “airline”, “time zone”, “flight date”, "OD (place of departure,
"Arrival place)", the greater the number of designated items, the higher the level of abstraction and the earlier the processing. In the case of an airline ticket, the producer responds to the airline, the major seller responds to the sales department such as a branch of the airline, or the sales agent of a major travel agency, and the retailer responds to each travel agency. It corresponds to stores and convenience stores that handle air tickets.

More specifically, for example, FIG. 23 shows that the cluster levels 1 to 4 are determined in advance by an intermediary, and the buyer side determines the clustering attribute of the cluster level arbitrarily determined from the cluster levels 1 to 4. This shows the order of linking processing of buyers 1 to 3 when the content is set in an item. As shown in FIG. 23, the contents are set at the cluster level 4 (the designation of "flight date", "morning or afternoon designation", "airline company", and "flight name") with the smallest condition designation. Buyer 3 first becomes the first processing target, and then buyers whose contents are set at cluster level 3 (designation of “flight date”, “morning or afternoon designation”, and “airline”) with detailed condition specification Side 2 is to be processed next, and the last buyer side 1 is to be processed.

FIG. 24 shows the order of linking the buyers 1 to 4 when the buyers 1 to 4 arbitrarily set the clustering attribute items and their contents (conditions) arbitrarily. As shown in FIG. 24, the buyer side 4 with the smallest condition specification is first processed, and then the buyer 3, buyer 2, and buyer 1 are sequentially processed. First, as for the first buyer side 4, since the corresponding sales information is only one of the sales information, this is linked. As for the next buyer side 3, the corresponding sales information is sales information and the two, so that the sales information with the higher sales price among them is linked preferentially. Similarly, for the next buyer side 2, among the corresponding sales information, and, and in the descending order of the sales amount, if the sales amount is the same, priority is given to the one with the larger number of seats and the corresponding sales information. Is linked. Similarly, for the last buyer side 1, among the corresponding sales information to (all sales information), if the sales amount is the same and the sales amount is the same, the one with the larger number of seats is prioritized and the seat number is further increased. If the numbers are the same, priority is given to the earlier information input time, and the corresponding sales information is linked.

From the above description, the item designation and processing order of the clustering attribute in the present embodiment are summarized as follows. 1. Items of clustering attributes and their contents Market operators and intermediaries decide in advance. Buyer decides arbitrarily. 2. Processing order between clusters The clusters are processed in order from the cluster whose condition specification is fine (the one with many specified items and whose content is finely limited). Market operators and intermediaries decide in advance. 3. Processing Order in Cluster After the processing order of the purchase information in the cluster is determined, the sales information is clustered for each purchase information. After determining the processing order of the sales information in the cluster, the purchase information is clustered for each sales information.

As described above, according to the present invention, a so-called forward transaction can be performed on a network, and a new sales and procurement opportunity can be provided to the seller and the buyer. In this way, unprecedented efficient product transactions can be performed. More specifically, a system for dealing in the sale of goods is systematized, and a plurality of purchase information (items and types, prices, etc. of goods that the buyer wants to procure) and a plurality of sales information (items and types of goods that the seller wants to sell) , Price, etc.) can be performed on the screen of the terminal device at the same time, and the transaction processing for sequentially determining the contract from those that meet both conditions can be performed. Further, the buyer side can specify any information among the information included in the sales information issued by a plurality of sellers as the first or second transaction condition. For example, it is possible to specify only the item as the second transaction condition (strict specification) or to specify the item and the type as the first transaction condition (specify a wider range than the second specific condition). Then, the sales information that has not been concluded in the transaction processing according to the second transaction condition is automatically transferred to the transaction processing according to the first transaction condition, and can be processed again in the transaction processing. With such a configuration, at least the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The buyer does not need to go to a wholesale market or the like, and can easily grasp whether or not the desired product is sold at his own terminal device, and easily purchase the desired product. be able to. Also, this can be done in advance. Thereby, a procurement plan can be made.

(2) The seller side can use the own terminal device to know in advance whether a product to be sold has a buyer, how much the product can be sold, and the like. As a result, a sales plan can be made, and the occurrence of useless commodities can also be suppressed. In particular, fresh flowers that have no value after a certain period of time can be kept fresh.

(3) The buyer can easily assemble the product even if he or she wants a large number of products on his own terminal device.

(4) Since the seller can make a sales plan, the producer can make a production plan according to the sales plan.

(5) It is possible to trade the merchandise between the seller and the buyer before the merchandise is shipped.

(6) Purchasing under a strict condition of a desired product and purchasing with a widened condition range can be performed in one operation. As a result, the closing rate can be improved, and the transaction efficiency can be dramatically improved.

Therefore, according to the present invention, planned production and sale of goods can be performed, and planned purchase of goods can also be performed. It can be carried out.
