When the reservation management program 62 is started, the computer 11 determines whether a connection with another site has been established (S101). If it is determined that the connection has not been established, the computer 11 proceeds to step S10.
The process of step 1 is repeated, and if it is determined that the process is established, the process proceeds to step S102 and the subsequent steps.

On the other hand, when the computer 21 is activated at the reservation receiving site 2, the computer 21 activates the network connection program 61b and connects itself to the network 5. Next, the computer 21
The reservation receiving program 63 shown in FIG. 4 is started. When the reservation receiving program 63 is started, the computer 21
Determines whether a connection with another site has been established (S201). If it is determined that the connection has not been established, the computer 21 repeats the processing of step S201.

In the reservation application site 3, when the control unit 31 receives an instruction for network connection from the outside, the control unit 31 activates the network connection program 61c to connect itself to the network 5, and then the reservation application program Activate 64. Then, the control unit 31 starts the processing shown in FIG.

When the control section 31 starts the processing shown in FIG. 5, the control section 31 waits for the operator to input the operator's name and a predetermined password using the input device 35 (S301). Then, when the operator's name and password are entered, the operator of the entered name enters the reservation application site 3
Then, it is determined whether or not the operation is permitted and the input password is associated with the operator (S302).

As a result of the determination, it is determined that the operator of the input name is not permitted to operate the reservation application site 3 or that the input password is not associated with the operator. If so, the control unit 31 proceeds to S
Return to 301. When the operator of the input name is permitted to operate the reservation application site 3 and the input password is associated with the operator, the control unit 31
Follows the processing of the network connection program 61c,
A connection request is issued to the computer 21 of the reservation receiving site 2 (S303).

On the other hand, the computer 21 having received the connection request establishes a connection with the other party in step S202, and sends a signal for confirming the connection to the other party. And
The computer 21 sends, to the control unit 31, an image that describes a product that can be reserved on the reservation reception site 2 and an image that prompts transmission of the identification code 71 (S203).

After receiving the connection confirmation signal after issuing the connection request, the control section 31 starts receiving information sent from the reservation management site 1. Then, when the information of the image explaining the product and the information of the image requesting the transmission of the identification code 71 are received, the image represented by the information is displayed on the display device 34 (S304).

When the image is displayed, the control section 31 accepts the input of the identification code 71 using the input device 35, and determines whether or not the input has been completed (S305). If it is determined that the processing has not been completed, the processing of step S305 is repeated. When it is determined that the process is completed, the control unit 31 sends the input identification code 71 to the computer 21 (S30).
6).

When the computer 21 receives the identification code 71, the computer 21 displays an image for prompting the user to select a product to be reserved.
(S204). The control unit 31 controls the reservation management site 1
Receiving the information sent from the device and receiving the information of the image prompting the selection of the product, the image represented by the information is displayed on the display device 3.
4 is displayed (S307).

When the image is displayed, the control section 31 accepts an input of an instruction to select a product using the input device 35, and determines whether or not the input has been completed (S30).
8). If it is determined that it has not been completed, step S30
Step 8 is repeated. When it is determined that the process is completed, the control unit 31 generates information representing the selected product to be reserved and sends it to the computer 21 (S309). When the computer 21 receives the identification code 71 and the information of the reservation target product, the computer 21 stores the identification code 71 and the information of the reservation target product in the external storage device 22 (S205).

Next, the computer 21 follows the processing of the network connection program 61b and executes the reservation management site 1
Issue a connection request to the computer 11 (S206).
Upon receiving the connection request, the computer 11 proceeds to step S
At 102, a connection with the computer 21 is established,
A signal for confirming the connection is sent to the computer 21. Then, the identification code 71 and the identification code 7 are provided to the computer 21.
A request is made for inputting the address of the reservation application site 3 that has transmitted 1 (S103).

After issuing the connection request, the computer 21 receives a signal for confirming the connection and a signal for requesting the input of the identification code 71 and the address of the reservation application site 3 to which the identification code 71 was transmitted. The address of the reservation application site 3 that has transmitted the 71 and the identification code 71 is sent to the computer 11 (S207). The computer 11 that has input the identification code 71 and the address of the reservation application site 3 that has transmitted the identification code 71 searches the identification code list 72 using the input identification code 71 as a key, and determines whether the identification code 71 is valid. It is determined (S104). That is, it is determined whether a record including the same code as the identification code 71 exists in the identification code list 72 and whether the identification code 71 has been exercised in the past.

When it is determined that there is a corresponding record and the identification code 71 has been exercised in the past,
The computer 11 stores the identification code 71 in the record.
Stores information indicating that has been exercised. Then, a notification indicating that the identification code 71 is valid and a notification of terminating the connection with the computer 21 are sent to the computer 21, and the process proceeds to step S107 (S105). If it is determined that there is no corresponding record, the computer 1
1 sends to the computer 21 a notification indicating that the identification code 71 is invalid and a notification to terminate the connection with the computer 21 (S106), and terminates the connection (S10).
7).

When the computer 21 receives a notification indicating the result of the determination in step S104 from the computer 11, it determines from the notification whether or not the identification code 71 is valid (S208). If it is determined in step S208 that the identification code 71 is valid, the computer 21 shifts the processing to step S210. If it is determined that the code is invalid, a notification indicating that the identification code 71 is an invalid code is sent to the control unit 31 and the processing is performed in step S
203 (S209).

In step S210, the computer 21 determines the reservation condition for the reserved reservation by the above-mentioned predetermined method. Then, a reservation content code 73 representing the determined reservation condition is generated, and the reservation application site 3
Of the reservation management site 1 and sends the reservation content code 73 to the computer 11 (step S211).

As described above, the person who exercised the reservation right,
When the person who supplies the product and the recipient of the product can be specified by the address of the reservation application site 3 that transmitted the identification code 71 in the processing described below, the reservation that transmitted the identification code 71 as information indicating those persons. The address of the application site 3 may be included. In addition, the computer 21
May further input information from the reservation application site 3 in order to determine the reservation conditions.

Upon receiving the information from the computer 21, the control section 31 determines whether or not the information is the notification of the invalidation of the identification code 71 transmitted in step S209 (S310). If it is determined that the notification is invalid, the control unit 31 returns the process to S304. When determining that the notification is not an invalid notification, the control unit 31 receives the reservation content code 73 from the computer 21. And this reservation content code 7
3 is decoded, and an image representing the contents of the reservation condition is displayed on the display device 3.
4 is displayed (S311). Next, the control unit 31
An input for confirming the reservation is received using the input device 35, and it is determined whether or not the input is completed (S31).
2). If it is determined that the processing is not completed, step S31
Step 2 is repeated. When it is determined that the reservation is completed, the control unit 31 sends a signal indicating confirmation of the reservation to the computer 21 (S313).

Upon receiving the signal indicating the confirmation of the reservation, the computer 21 sends a notification indicating the completion of the reservation and a notification of terminating the connection to the control unit 31, and terminates the connection with the control unit 31 (S212). ). The control unit 31 that has received the notification indicating the completion of the reservation ends the processing of the reservation application program 64.

On the other hand, the computer 1 of the reservation management site 1
1 issues a connection request to the settlement site 4 according to the processing of the network connection program 61b (S213). The settlement site 4 that has received the connection request is a computer 11
And sends a signal to the computer 11 to confirm the connection.

After issuing the connection request and receiving a signal confirming the connection, the computer 11 executes step S30.
The identification code 71 input to the reservation application site 3 in 5 and the reservation content code 73 generated in step S210 are sent to the settlement site 4 (S214), and the connection with the settlement site 4 is terminated (S215). The reservation management program 62 ends. The settlement site 4 stores the input identification code 71 and reservation content code 73 in the same record of the reservation content list 74.

Thereafter, for example, when the recipient of the product or the like inputs the reservation content code 73 into the payment site 4 from the outside using the input unit for the purpose of fulfilling the reservation, the payment site 4 obtains the information shown in FIG. The reservation content inquiry program 65a shown in)

When the processing of the reservation content inquiry program 65a is started, first, each reservation content code 73 stored in the reservation content list 74 is compared with the inputted reservation content code 73, and there is a match. It is determined whether or not it is (S401).

When it is determined that there is no match (that is, the fulfillment of the reservation is not permitted), the settlement site 4
Outputs to the outside information indicating that the fulfillment of the reservation is not permitted (for example, the information is displayed) (S402)
The processing of the reservation content inquiry program 65a ends.

If it is determined that there is a match (that is, the fulfillment of the reservation is permitted), information indicating that the fulfillment of the reservation is permitted is output to the outside (S403).
Connect to the reservation management site 1. Then, the identification code 71 stored in the record including the reservation content code that matches the reservation content code 73 input using the input unit is specified from the reservation content list 74 (S404). Connected to the computer 11 and the identification code 7
1 is sent (S405). Then, the recording content of the record whose identification code 71 is specified in step S404 is deleted (S406), and the reservation content inquiry program 65a ends.

Reservation management site 1 to which identification code 71 is input
The computer 11 starts the processing of the reservation content inquiry program 65b shown in FIG. When the process starts,
The computer 11 deletes the record storing the input identification code 71 from the identification code list 72 (S5).
01). Thus, the identification code 71 disappears.

When the record is deleted, the computer 11 terminates the connection with the settlement site 4 (S502).
The processing of the reservation content inquiry program 65b ends. When the settlement site 4 terminates the connection with the reservation management site 1,
The processing of the reservation content inquiry program 65a ends.

The operator or the like of the settlement site 4 fulfills the contract by paying the goods to a person specified from the reservation content code 73 as a recipient of the goods or the like. In the case where the supply of the product can be directly performed in the settlement site 4, the reservation content inquiry program 65a may include a process of not only accepting the reservation of the supply of the product but also supplying the product. For example, when the product to be supplied is shareware, the settlement site 4 executes the reservation content inquiry program 6
According to the process of 5a, the shareware may be downloaded to the reservation application site 3 associated with the recipient identified from the content of the reservation content code 73.

The reservation management site 1 and the reservation reception site 2 may be constituted by a common computer and an external storage device. Further, the reservation management program 62 and the reservation reception program 63 do not need to be separate programs. After the identification code 71 and the information of the selection of the product are input to the computer 21 or 11, the identification code 71
May be determined whether or not is valid.

The reservation application site 3 does not need to be associated with a specific operator. For example, when the reservation application site 3 accesses the network 5, the network uses an arbitrary method such as inputting a password. The operator of the reservation application site 3 may be specified. In this case, the address of the operator on the network 5 may be used instead of the address of the reservation application site 3 described above. For example, when the network 5 is the Internet, the address of the operator on the Internet may be used as the address of the operator.

The processes executed by the reservation management program 62, the reservation reception program 63, the reservation application program 64, and the reservation content inquiry programs 65a and 65b are not limited to those shown in FIGS.

For example, the information that the computer 11 sends to the control unit 31 according to the processing of the reservation management program 62 and the information that the computer 21 sends to the control unit 31 according to the processing of the reservation receiving program 63 are both information in the hypertext format. May be included. When the information sent to the reservation application site 3 includes information in a hypertext format, the reservation application program 64 and the reservation inner secret inquiry programs 65a and 65b may be hypertext browsing software (browser).

In this case, when the computers of the reservation management site 1 and the reservation reception site 2 request the input at the reservation application site 3, they transmit hypertext format information indicating that to the reservation application site 3.

When the information in the hypertext format is input, the control unit 31 performs, for example,
The hypertext format images input from the computers 11 and 21 are displayed, and movement of a cursor and a mouse pointer, input of a character string at the position of the cursor, and signal input by clicking a mouse are accepted. Then, the input character string, the position of the cursor on the image when the character string is input, the position of the mouse pointer on the image when the mouse is clicked, and the display device 34 are currently displayed. The information indicating the scroll state of the image is sent to the transmission source of the information of the hypertext currently displayed on the display device 34 as needed.

The computers 11 and 21 of the reservation management site 1 and the reservation reception site 2 analyze the information output from the control unit 31 in accordance with the above-described processing of the browser, and thereby obtain the identification code 71, the information of the selection of the product, and the like. Get other information. Then, the computer 11 of the reservation management site 1 determines whether or not the identification code 71 is valid, notifies the reservation reception site 2 of the determination result, receives a reservation for merchandise purchase, generates a reservation content code 73, and makes a reservation. Processing of output to the reception site 2 is performed.

In the hypertext sent by the computers 11 and 21 of the reservation management site 1 and the reservation reception site 2, links to other reservation management sites 1 and the reservation reception site 2 may be set. When the link is set, the mouse pointer is moved to the setting position of the link and the mouse is clicked, so that the reservation application site 3 and the linked reservation management site 1 or reservation reception site 2 are linked. Connection may be made and the reservation may be started.

The number of the reservation receiving sites 2 and the number of the reservation application sites 3 do not need to be one each, and are arbitrary. For example, when the network 5 is the Internet and a computer connected to the network 5 has a function of a web server, a plurality of homepages are provided under the control of the computer, and a reservation reception site 2 is provided by each homepage. May be configured.

The reservation application site 3 for inputting the identification code 71 and the reservation application site 3 for receiving the reservation content code 73 generated by the reservation management program 62 as a result of the input need not be the same. Alternatively, there may be a reservation application site 3 that does not execute the reservation application program 64. The reservation application site 3 that does not execute the reservation application program 64 may be an anonymous node.

The medium through which the identification code 71 is distributed does not need to be scratch paper. For example, the identification code 71 may be printed on a publication or the like. Further, the identification code 71 may be recorded on a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, or another non-volatile recording medium and distributed. The reservation application site 3 may further include a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM drive, or the like, and read the identification code 71.

The reservation management site 1 has an identification code 71
Is not required to be one, and there may be a plurality as long as the determination that is valid is not performed repeatedly. In particular,
For example, the identification code list 72 stored by the plurality of reservation management sites 1 may not include the same identification code 71.

After the information contained in the reservation content list 74 is stored in the reservation content list 74, the information may be further changed or deleted based on the content of the information contained therein. For example, when each reservation content code 73 includes information on the expiration date of the reservation execution, the settlement site 4 refers to the current date using a timer or the like, and the current date obtained as a result of the reference is used as the reservation date. If the execution deadline has passed, the settlement site 4 may delete the information of the record including the reservation content code 73.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the transaction reservation system of the present invention can be realized by using a general computer system without using a dedicated system. For example, a transaction reservation system that executes the above-described processing can be configured by installing the program from a medium (a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, or the like) storing the program for performing the above-described operation in a personal computer. it can.

The medium for supplying the program to the computer may be a communication medium (a medium that temporarily and fluidly stores the program, such as a communication line, a communication network, or a communication system). For example, the program may be posted on a bulletin board (BBS) of a communication network and distributed via the network. Then, by starting this program and executing it in the same manner as other application programs under the control of the OS, the above-described processing can be executed.
