Description

System for notifying the information of purchasing

The present invention relates to a system for automatically notifying the time when the product is exhausted for a product having a probable number of days of use as a necessity type product repeatedly purchased and used by a consumer.

There are a variety of advertising methods to promote the consumption of conventional consumers. However, there was no system that predicts when a consumer's product is running out and notifies them about repurchase at that time.

Among commodities consumed at home, daily necessities such as rice, soap, toothpaste, and toilet paper are steadily consumed and purchased again when they run out. When these products are exhausted, consumers have to buy again immediately, which causes great inconvenience. It is a good idea to buy and replenish these products before they run out. But it's not always easy to keep track of how many of your products remain and make up for them. As a result, it is sometimes overlooked to buy these products ahead of time and eventually suffer from the exhaustion of the products. If you are in a hurry to buy a product after it is exhausted, you will not be able to buy the goods on favorable terms and will be driven by time. In other words, if you have enough time, you can buy products from various choices such as online shopping and discount stores under favorable conditions. Not only will this cause economic losses for consumers, but online shopping companies and discount stores will also lose sales. The present invention seeks to induce rational purchase of goods and to realize the benefits of the seller or the buyer by providing a system for notifying in advance that the time to run out of goods in a proper way to repurchase.

Repurchase notification system.

1 is a system diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

The system of the present invention includes a web server 100 including a database 101, at least one user terminal 104 connected via the Internet, means 103 for notifying the user terminal of information relating to the repurchase via the Internet, and the like. It may be made, including. Means for reporting information related to the repurchase may include an email server.

The web server of the present invention includes a database server to store and manage various databases. 2 relates to an embodiment of a member list stored by a web server. Although the list may be configured by a real name, it is preferable to form the list in the form of an ID or a member number as shown in FIG. 2. Although not shown, the web server may store information such as a user's personal details and a password for authentication in association with the member's ID. Furthermore, the web server stores and maintains a database of forecasts on how many days the product will be exhausted after several days, for each member. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, each member has a database of estimates of the remaining days of use of the product. The data on the remaining days of use for all products is not necessary and is mainly stored as a daily necessity. For example, rice, soap, toothpaste, vitamins, ramen noodles, shampoos, detergents, razor blades, toilet paper, diapers, such as products that need to be purchased repeatedly in everyday life.

The membership list is obtained by each buyer or consumer signing up as a member. The user's personal information, member ID, password, etc. can be secured through the normal procedure of accessing a web server through the Internet to the web server and applying for membership as a member online through the transmission of information between the user terminal and the web server. A member list can be obtained by receiving a subscription application and inputting such data into the web server at the operator side. This method is commonly used and will not need detailed description.

Meanwhile, each consumer has a different rate of consumption. In other words, there may be a household that consumes 10 kg of rice a month, or a household that consumes 2 kg of rice a month. Therefore, it is only possible to predict the remaining days of use of the product by understanding information about the rate of consumption of the product by member. The data on the consumption rate of a product can be determined by the amount of the product consumed per unit time, or rather by the period of time it takes to consume a given unit of product. The latter is not strictly a rate of consumption of goods, but also a reciprocal of the rate of consumption, which is also regarded as a kind of data concerning the rate of consumption of goods described herein. Data on the consumption rate of a product can be obtained and stored in a server in various ways. According to one embodiment may be obtained by a survey method. In other words, at the time of membership registration or afterwards, the member is asked to respond to the appropriate questionnaire, and the member directly writes down his consumption rate. For example, when you sign up online, you can receive information about how many days you consume 10kg of rice, how many days of soap, how many days of 10kg of detergent, etc. By doing so, it is possible to grasp the rate of consumption of each product. In the case of a member who has already registered as a member, a questionnaire may be sent online, and the member may respond to the request and send the member's rate of consumption of the product. Alternatively, by answering the questionnaire on the offline and storing the result by inputting to the web server from the operator side, it is possible to obtain data on the consumption rate of each product, that is, the data it takes to consume the unit unit of the product.

3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment thereof. Here, a member named aaa111 consumes 10 kg of rice for 50 days, one soap for 60 days, one toothpaste for 80 days, 100 vitamins for a bottle of 60 days, and one ramen for 7 days. . A member of the ID bsj03 means to consume 10 kg of rice for 25 days, 1 soap for 40 days, 1 toothpaste for 60 days, 100 bottles of vitamins for 30 days, and 1 ramen for 5 days. In other words, the number in the database of FIG. 3 represents the time it takes to consume all of the predetermined amount of goods associated with it.

Furthermore, it is possible not only to rely on surveys, but also to modify data on consumption rates based on accumulated purchase history data for a certain period of time. That is, for example, when a member's consumption rate of ramen is 10 days per piece, the member's purchase history shows that the member purchases 73 ramen noodles per year for an average of 5 days. Suppose you consumed a dog. The data on the consumption rate of the ramen of the member can then be strictly adjusted to not more than 10 days per unit but to 7 days per unit or 5 days per unit.

Alternatively, it is possible to modify the data on the consumption rate of the member by the input of the member himself or an authorized administrator. For example, when a terminal accesses a web server through the Internet and is authenticated as a member or administrator through the authentication process, the terminal sends data requesting the member's consumption data to be modified from the terminal to the web server. Receive this, change the data on the consumption rate of the members, that is, the data on the period of time spent consuming the unit of the product to store and store.

The data on the remaining days of use of products classified and classified by each member and stored in the web server is changed due to factors such as the date and new purchase of the product. 4A and 4B illustrate an embodiment thereof.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the number of remaining days of use of each product decreases by one. However, if the number of remaining days of use decreases to zero, it is no longer reduced to a negative value.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4b when the purchase of goods is made, the remaining days of use data is changed. According to Figure 4b, when the remaining use days of the rice is 20 days, if the input information to purchase 20kg of rice is lost, the existing remaining use days estimate is meaningless and the remaining days of use of the rice is 100 days required to consume 20kg of rice. Similarly, if the remaining days of ramen usage data is 5, if the information on the purchase of 5 ramen is inputted, the remaining days of ramen usage is 35 days required to consume 5 ramen. In other words, if the remaining use days of the current state of the goods A is ai and the consumption date per unit unit of the goods A is m units of goods A, the remaining days of use of the goods A is changed as ai = n * m. The fact that a product has been purchased means that the product has been exhausted enough to be repurchased and therefore ignores existing estimates of remaining days of use.

Data about each member's purchase items and quantity is sent to the web server. If a member makes a purchase online through the Internet, data on the purchase history of the member is easily secured since it is transmitted to the web server and managed from the ordering stage. If a member purchases through an agent using a 080 toll-free telephone, he / she can manage who is the subject of each order through the member's number or member's identification number, and provide data about the order history. By receiving the input device connected to the terminal such as the transfer from the counselor terminal to the web server data on the purchase history of the member can be secured. In this way, the web server receives data on the remaining days of use of each product for each member.

The web server searches for members and products whose remaining days are less than or equal to a fixed number. This can be done simply by searching the remaining usage days database held in the web server at a predetermined time, and may only determine whether the changed data is less than or equal to the fixed number only when the remaining usage days data is decreased due to a change of date.

Here, the numbers used as the comparison targets may use the same number for all products or may change in light of the characteristics of the products. That is, 10 days for rice, 15 days for toothpaste, 3 days for ramen, and so on.

If the number of remaining days of use is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined number, the data on the corresponding members and products are extracted and the member is notified of the repurchase of the products.

Preferably, when the number of remaining days of use falls below a predetermined number, the number of notifications is effectively adjusted accordingly, rather than a daily repurchase notification. For example, when the first notification is made corresponding to the number of days remaining, the number of notifications may be adjusted, such as notification every 5 days or notification every 10 days, which can be modified in various ways. . It is natural that it would be desirable to have the best effect without noticing too many notifications so that the reportee does not bother.

Notification of repurchase can be made in several ways. If the member accesses the online shopping mall, there is a method of guiding the item to be repurchased on the screen, and it may be made simply by sending an e-mail to the member or by sending an SMS mobile phone short message or other methods not listed here. In addition, the notified party may not be the member but a sales representative who is responsible for the purchase of the member. Whoever is notified must be one who can influence the member's repurchase.

According to the repurchase notification system of the present invention, by allowing the customer to purchase with sufficient time before the product is depleted, the seller can prevent the departure of the customer and allow the customer to purchase the conditions most favorable to them. Furthermore, in the case of vitamins that require continuous consumption, it prevents the inconvenience of inadequate continuous consumption due to the product being consumed during unknowing, and in particular, it is possible to review the purchase with sufficient time in the e-commerce which requires the delivery period. It helps to secure the competitiveness of the store.
