Further, the CPU 101 functions as the information storage unit 190 in cooperation with the hard disk 104 of FIG. Furthermore, by executing the sales process, the CPU 101 functions as a request acquisition unit 170, a product sales unit 171, an ease calculation unit 172, and a storage unit 173.
- the information storage unit 190 stores the already described sales product table of FIG. 23, the sales promotion product table of FIG. 24, and the allowable ease table of FIG.
- the request acquisition unit 170 acquires a request (hereinafter referred to as a sales request) for sales of the sales promotion product searched by the sales promotion product search unit 140.
- the product sales unit 171 sells products in response to the sales request.
- the ease calculation unit 172 calculates the allowable ease of the user for the difference between the search category and the sales condition category of the sales promotion product requested to be sold.
- the storage unit 173 stores the allowable ease calculated by the ease calculation unit 171 in the information storage unit 190 in association with the search category and the sales condition category.
- the description of the search process executed by the search device 100 according to the present embodiment is started.
- the CPU 101 starts executing the search process shown in FIG.
- steps S01 to S04 are executed.
- the search category acquisition unit 120 acquires the search condition data from the LAN card 106
- the search category acquisition unit 120 acquires the search category into which the search condition is classified
- the sales merchandise search unit 130 matches the search category.
- the sales condition category to be searched is searched, and the sales product having the name associated with the searched sales condition category is set as the search sales product.
- the sales promotion product search unit 140 reads information representing the threshold value Th from the information storage unit 190, and sets the sales condition category associated with the allowable ease greater than the threshold value Th and the search category as the search category. As a classification in which the difference is equal to or less than the predetermined difference, a search is made from the allowable ease table of FIG. 25 (step S04b).
- the sales promotion product search unit 140 determines whether or not a sales condition category has been searched (step S04c). At this time, if the sales promotion product search unit 140 determines that the sales condition category has not been searched (step S04c; No), it executes the process of step S05 described in the first embodiment. Thereby, the sales promotion product search unit 140 searches for a category adjacent to the search category as a category whose difference from the search category is a predetermined difference or less.
- step S04c when the sales promotion product search unit 140 determines that the sales condition category has been searched (step S04c; Yes), or after executing the process of step S05, the sales promotion product search unit 140 performs the process of step S06. Execute. As a result, the sales promotion product search unit 140 searches for sales promotion products that are sold under the condition that the difference from the search category is classified into a category that is equal to or less than the predetermined difference.
- step S07 After that, after the generation unit 150 generates a search result page in which the search sales product searched in step S04 and the search sales product searched in step S06 are posted (step S07), the output unit 160 A search result page is output with the device 210 as the destination (step S08). Thereafter, the execution of the search process is terminated.

If the difference between the search category and the sales promotion product sales criteria category is unacceptable for the user, and if the search promotional product sales price is significantly less than the search sales product sales price, This is because the search promotion product is not purchased.
- the ease calculation unit 172 calculates the allowable ease higher as the calculated difference is smaller. This is because, if the difference between the search category and the sales condition category of the search promotional product is acceptable for the user, the search promotional product is purchased even if the difference between the search sales product and the selling price is small. .
- the storage unit 173 calculates the information stored in the allowable ease table in FIG. 25 in association with the search category and the sales condition category of the purchased search promotional product. It is updated with the information indicating the permissible ease (step S36). This updated information is referred to in step S04b of the search process shown in FIG. Thereafter, the storage unit 173 ends the search process.
- the search device 100 is configured to sell the product sold under the condition classified into the category that matches the search category and the sales promotion sold under the condition classified into the category that does not match the search category. Based on the difference between the price of the product and the difference between the search category and the sales category, it is possible to calculate the permissible ease indicating how easily the difference is acceptable for the user.
- the search device 100 outputs a web page on which a promotional product sold under the condition classified into the sales category for which the allowable ease greater than the threshold Th is calculated is output. For this reason, since it is easy for the user to allow a difference between the sales category and the search category of the promotional product posted on the web page, the search device 100 is different from the search condition while suppressing a decrease in user convenience. Can promote the sale of goods.
