Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1. A new business model applicant for a product sales and purchase service proposes a new business model for a product sales and purchase service. This business model is based on the groundbreaking idea of promoting the sales and purchase cycle of a product by “guaranteeing the future purchase price of the product” before or during the sale of the product. Here, it does not matter whether the product is new or used. The product can be any product.

The store (operator) that sells the product presents at least one future purchase price of the product to the customer in addition to the sale price of the product before or at the time of selling the product. Applicant named the sale price of the product together with at least one future purchase price of the product “Relay Price”. This is because these prices play a central role in relaying products to each customer through the sale and purchase of the products. Typical examples of product “relay prices” are the sale price of the product, the purchase price within 3 months from the sale date of the product, the purchase price within 6 months from the sale date of the product, and within one year from the sale date of the product. However, the price is not limited to this. The number of months or years from the date of sale of the item can be any number of months or years. Also, the number of purchase prices can be any number.

* Customers who have purchased a product will be conscious of selling the product in the future because they will be presented with a “relay price” of the product before purchasing the product or at the time of purchasing the product. That is, the customer who purchased the product comes to consider how long the product will be owned. As a result, the customer who purchased the product is motivated to sell the product in the future, and when the product is sold, the store (operator) that purchased the product purchases the product. Will be motivated. This brings benefits to both customers and stores (operators). In other words, there is an advantage that the customer can explicitly guarantee the future purchase price of the product, and the store (operator) side will increase the number of customer repeaters and promote the distribution of the product. There is a merit that you can. As described above, the new business model described above contributes to the construction of a Win-Win relationship that brings benefits to both customers and stores (operators). Note that a customer who has purchased a product can be presented with a “relay price” of the product after purchasing the product.

FIG. 1 shows the flow of a new business model for merchandise sales and purchase services. Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.
(Before sale)
The product is assessed (step S1). The form of product assessment is not limited. For example, the assessment of a product may be performed by a skilled appraiser. Alternatively, the assessment of the product may be performed by automatic calculation based on information such as the result of the latest auction. As a result of the product assessment, the “relay price” of the product is determined. For example, the sales price of the product is determined as “¥ 200,000”, the purchase price within 3 months from the sales date of the product is determined as “¥ 180,000”, and the purchase price within 6 months from the sales date of the product. Is determined to be “¥ 140,000”, and the purchase price within one year from the sale date of the product is determined to be “¥ 100,000”.

The “relay price” of the product is presented (step S2). The mode of presentation of the “relay price” of the product does not matter. As long as the customer can recognize the “relay price” of the product, it is possible to present the “relay price” in any manner. For example, the product “relay price” may be presented without specifying to whom the product is presented, or the product “relay price” is specified to whom the product is presented (for example, a specific price) It may be presented to the customer only). For example, “relay price” may be presented on a poster or flyer posted inside or outside the store, or “relay price” may be presented on printed matter enclosed in a direct mail to a customer. Alternatively, a “relay price” may be presented on the screen of the smartphone via an application installed on the smartphone. In this way, a customer (or a candidate for a customer) who is presented with a “relay price” of a product can recognize the future purchase price of the product and is motivated to sell the product after purchasing the product. Will be attached.
(When selling products)
The product is sold (step S3). The sales price of the product is a sales price included in the “relay price” of the product. The sale date of the product is determined by the sale of the product. This sales date is used as a reference date for determining a purchase price when the product is purchased in the future. The mode of sale of the product is not limited. For example, you may make it sell goods directly in a store. Alternatively, you can receive orders for products via online shopping sites and applications installed on smartphones, and receive payments equivalent to the sales price of the products by means of cash cards, bank transfers, convenience store payments, cash on delivery, etc. You may make it deliver goods to a customer by means, such as courier delivery and a convenience store receipt.

When a product is sold, a “relay price” of the product may be presented to a customer who purchases the product. The manner of presenting the “relay price” of the product to the customer is not limited. For example, when the customer A goes to the store and purchases the product directly at the store, the store clerk may present the “relay price” of the product to the customer A verbally or in writing. Thereby, the customer A can confirm the future purchase price of the product. However, if the “relay price” of the product has already been presented to the customer A before the sale of the product, the presentation of the “relay price” of the product to the customer A at the time of sale of the product should be omitted. Also good. Alternatively, by presenting the “relay price” of the product to the customer A when the product is sold, it may be omitted to present the “relay price” of the product to the customer A before the sale of the product.
(After selling the product, before purchasing the product)
The “relay price” of the product is presented to the customer who purchased the product (step S4). The manner of presenting the “relay price” of the product to the customer is not limited. For example, when the customer A does not go to the store and receives the product by means such as courier service or convenience store reception, the “relay price” of the product may be presented to the customer A in a document bundled with the product. Alternatively, apart from the product, the “relay price” of the product may be presented to the customer A by means such as a postcard or e-mail. Alternatively, when an application is installed on the smartphone of customer A, the “relay price” may be presented on the screen of the smartphone of customer A via the application. However, since the product has already been purchased by the customer A at this time, the “relay price” of the product is, for example, the purchase price of the product is “¥ 200,000” and within 3 months from the purchase date of the product. The purchase price is “¥ 180,000”, the purchase price within six months from the purchase date of the product is “¥ 140,000”, the purchase price within one year from the purchase date of the product is “¥ 100,000”, etc. Presented to customer A. Further, at this time, it is sufficient that the “relay price” of the product is presented only to the customer A. This is because at this point in time, the product is the property of customer A, so it is sufficient to stimulate customer A's desire to sell. Presenting the product “relay price” only to the customer A means that, for example, when the product is sold, the store clerk virtually stores the product in the “micro closet” of the customer A (of course, This is achieved by the store clerk not virtually storing the product in a “micro closet” other than the customer A). Here, the “micro closet” of the customer A is an electronic closet that can virtually store the product purchased by the customer A.

A notification that the future purchase price of the product will be changed in the near future may be presented to the customer A only a predetermined period before the date when the future purchase price of the product is changed. Here, the predetermined period may be an arbitrary period. For example, a notification that the purchase price of the product will be changed in the near future is presented to the customer A before a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the day when three months have passed since the purchase date of the product. Also good. Accordingly, the customer A can easily recognize when the purchase price of the product is changed, and is motivated to sell the product before the purchase price of the product is changed. For example, such notification may be displayed on the screen of the customer A's smartphone by push notification or email. Alternatively, such a notification may be displayed on the screen of the customer A's personal computer by mail. For example, such a notification may be a message that “a bag you purchased for ¥ 200,000 on a day of a month will be ¥ 140,000 on a day of a month”. Alternatively, such a notification may be a message that “a bag currently worth ¥ 180,000 will be ¥ 140,000 on the day of the month. Similarly, a notification that the purchase price of the product will be changed in the near future is presented to the customer A before a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the day when six months have passed since the purchase date of the product. Alternatively, a notification that the purchase price of the product will be changed in the near future is presented to the customer A before a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the day when one year has passed since the purchase date of the product. You may do it.
(At the time of product purchase after sale)
A product is purchased (step S5). The purchase price of the product is one of at least one purchase price included in the “relay price” of the product. For example, if the purchase date of the product is within 3 months from the sale date of the product, the purchase price of the product is “¥ 180,000”, which is the purchase price within 3 months from the purchase date of the product, If the purchase date of the product is within 6 months from the sale date of the product, the purchase price of the product is “140,000” which is the purchase price within 6 months from the purchase date of the product, and the purchase date of the product Is within one year from the sale date of the product, the purchase price of the product is “¥ 100,000”, which is the purchase price within one year from the purchase date of the product. The manner of purchasing the product is not limited. For example, you may make it purchase goods directly in a store. Alternatively, the product sent from the customer may be received by means such as courier, and the customer may be paid a price corresponding to the purchase price of the product by means such as bank transfer. If the purchased product is virtually stored in the customer A's “micro-zette”, the product is virtually not stored in the customer A's “micro-zette”. This is because the product purchased by the purchase of the product is no longer the property of the customer A.

Here, the state after the purchase of the product is the same as the state before the sale of the product. Accordingly, the flow of the new business model returns to step S1 after step S5. In this way, the process of assessment, sale, and purchase is repeated for each product.

2. Configuration of Computer System for Realizing New Business Model FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of a computer system 10 for realizing a new business model.

The computer system 10 is configured to be connectable to at least one user device 30 and at least one store device 40 via the Internet 20. User device 30 may be any device capable of communicating with computer system 10 via the Internet 20. The user device 30 can be operated by a customer, for example. For example, the user device 30 may be a smartphone, a tablet-type terminal, or a personal computer. The store apparatus 40 functions as a terminal device placed in each store, and can be operated by a store clerk, for example.

The computer system 10 includes an interface unit 50, a processor unit 60, a memory unit 62, and a database unit 70.

The interface unit 50 controls communication with at least one user device 30 and communication with at least one store device 40.

The processor unit 60 controls the overall operation of the computer system 10.

The memory unit 62 stores a program necessary for executing processing, data necessary for executing the program, and the like.

The database unit 70 includes a sales management database 71 for managing the sale of products, a product management database 72 for managing products, and a “micro-zette” management database 73 for providing “micro-zette” services to customers. Including.

The sales management database 71 is for managing a product identifier, a sales date, a “relay price” (that is, a sales price and at least one future purchase price of the product) and the like for each product.

The product management database 72 is for managing the product identifier, manufacturer, product name, model number, product description, product photo, etc. for each product.

The “Micro-Zet” management database 73 is for managing a list of products stored in a virtual storage space for each customer.

Each component of the interface unit 50, the processor unit 60, and the database unit 70 illustrated in FIG. 2 may be configured by a single hardware component or may be configured by a plurality of hardware components. . The configuration of the computer system 10 is not limited to a specific hardware configuration.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the computer system 10, at least one user device 30 and at least one store device 40 can be connected via the Internet 20. The invention is not limited to this. Any type of network may be used in place of the Internet 20. Further, the network connecting the computer system 10 and at least one user device 30 and the network connecting the computer system 10 and at least one store device 40 may be the same network or different networks. It may be.

FIG. 3A shows an example of the configuration of sales management information managed by the sales management database 71. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the sales management information for each product is stored in the sales management database 71 in the form of a sales management record. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the sales management record 711 includes a product identifier item 7111, a sales date item 7112, a sales price item 7113, and a purchase price (purchase price 1) within three months from the sales date. It includes at least an item 7114, an item 7115 for a purchase price (purchase price 2) within six months from the sales date, and an item 7116 for a purchase price (purchase price 3) within one year from the sales date.

FIG. 3B shows an example of the sales management record 711 before the sale of the product after the assessment of the product. Here, as a result of the product assessment, the “relay price” of the product subject to assessment (for example, the product whose product identifier is “A006455”) is “¥ 200,000”, “¥ 180,000”, It is assumed that “¥ 140,000” and “¥ 100,000” are determined. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3B, “200,000” is set in the sales price item 7113 for the sales management record 711 of the product whose product identifier is “A006455”, and within 3 months from the sales date. “180,000” is set in the item 7114 of the purchase price (purchase price 1), and “140,000” is set in the item 7115 of the purchase price (purchase price 2) within six months from the sale date. "100,000" is set in the item 7116 of the purchase price (purchase price 3) within one year from the date of purchase. Such setting is achieved, for example, by receiving the result of the assessment of the product, and the store clerk inputs the value of each item of the product from the store device 40 placed in the store ( Each value input from the store apparatus 40 is set in the corresponding item of the sales management record 711 stored in the sales management database 71). However, at this time, no value is set in the item 7112 of the sales date of the sales management record 711. This is because the sale date of the product has not yet been determined since it is before the sale of the product.

FIG. 3C shows an example of the sales management record 711 at the time of selling the product. Here, it is assumed that a product (for example, a product with a product identifier “A006455”) was sold on April 1, 2015. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3C, for the sales management record 711 of the product whose product identifier is “A006455”, “2015041” indicating “April 1, 2015” is set in the item 7112 of the sales date. Is done. Such a setting is achieved, for example, when the store clerk inputs the value of the item on the sale date of the product from the store device 40 placed in the store (value input from the store device 40). Is set in the sales date field 7112 of the sales management record 711 stored in the sales management database 71).

The state of the sales management record 711 after the sale of the product and before the purchase of the product is the same as the state of the sales management record 711 at the time of sale of the product shown in FIG. 3C. Further, when a reassessment is performed after the assessment of the product before the sale of the product, at the time of sale, or after the sale, the sales management record in which the value determined by the reassessment is stored in the sales management database 71 711 is set to the corresponding item. Such setting is achieved, for example, by receiving the result of the reassessment of the product, and the store clerk inputs the value of each item of the product from the store device 40 placed in the store. (Each value input from the store apparatus 40 is set in the corresponding item of the sales management record 711 stored in the sales management database 71).

Note that the structure of the sales management record 711 described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C is the same even when the customer A who purchased the product resells the product to the customer B and then purchases the product from the customer B. It is assumed that the purchase price of the product is guaranteed. This is because the sales management record 711 does not include information regarding to which customer the product is sold (that is, which customer purchased the product). When purchasing a product from customer A who purchased the product, the purchase price of the product is guaranteed, but when purchasing a product from customer B who is the reseller of the product, the purchase price of the product is guaranteed. You may make it not. In this case, when the product is sold, items of personal identification information (for example, name, address, gender, date of birth, driver's license number, passport number, etc.) of the customer who purchased the product are stored in the sales management record 711. The value of the added item is managed in the sales management database 71, and the customer who wants to purchase the product is requested to present the personal identification information of the principal, and the personal identification information of the principal is stored in the sales management. It is determined whether or not the personal identification information in the sales management record 711 stored in the database 71 matches, and if both match, the purchase price of the product is guaranteed, but if both do not match, The purchase price of the product may not be guaranteed. By doing in this way, it is possible to make a difference in handling between a customer who purchased a product directly and a customer who purchased the product indirectly.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the configuration of product management information managed by the product management database 72. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the product management information for each product is stored in the product management database 72 in the form of a product management record. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the product management record 721 includes a product identifier item 7211, information for specifying a product (for example, product manufacturer, product name, model number, etc.) 7212, and product description item. 7213 and at least an item 7214 of a product photo (or a link to the product photo). Each item of the product management record 721 has a value set as part of product management. It should be noted that setting of a value in a part of the item 7212 of the merchandise management record 721 or the

items

7213 and 7214 may be omitted.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of the “micro-jet” management information managed by the “micro-jet” management database 73. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the “microzette” management information is stored in the “microzette” management database 73 in the form of a “microzette” management record. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the “micro-set” management record 731 includes at least a customer identifier item 7311 and a product identifier item 7312. For example, when customer A purchases a product whose product identifier is “A006455”, the product virtually stores customer A's “micro closet” (that is, the product purchased by customer A). It is virtually stored in an electronic closet. As described above, virtually storing the product in the “micro-zette” of the customer A means that, for example, when the product is sold, the store clerk from the store device 40 placed in the store has the item of the customer identifier. This is achieved by associating the customer with the product by inputting the value and the value of the item of the product identifier (each value input from the store apparatus 40 is stored in the “micro closet” management database 73. Set to the corresponding item of the “micro-zette” management record 731).

3. Processing of Computer System FIG. 6A shows an example of processing executed in the computer system 10 in order to realize the step of presenting a “relay price” of a product (step S2 in FIG. 1) before the sale of the product. This processing is expressed in the form of a program, for example. Such a program is installed in the memory unit 62 in the computer system 10 by being downloaded via a network such as the Internet 20 or via a storage medium such as a ROM or a RAM. The processor unit 60 reads a program stored in the memory unit 62 and executes the program. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6A, the “relay price” of the product is displayed on the screen of the user device 30 via an application installed in the user device 30. Hereinafter, each step of the processing illustrated in FIG. 6A will be described.

Step S6010: From the sales management record 711 stored in the sales management database 71, the processor unit 60 determines the value of the item identifier item 7111 of the sales management record 711 and the item of “relay price” (that is, items 7113 and 7114). , 7115, 7116).

Step S6020: The processor unit 60 associates with the product identified by the value of the item identifier item 7111 acquired from the sales management record 711, that is, the value of the item “relay price” acquired from the sales management record 711 (ie, ,

Items

7113, 7114, 7115, and 7116) are displayed on the screen of the user device 30.

In this way, for each product, the “relay price” of the product (that is, the sale price of the product and at least one future purchase price of the product) is displayed on the screen of the user device 30.

The processor unit 60 searches the product management database 72 using the value of the item identifier item 7111 acquired from the sales management record 711 as a key, thereby matching the item identifier item 7211 with the value of the item identifier item 7111. The values of the

items

7212, 7213, and 7214 of the product management record 72 are acquired from the product management record 72 having the value of the item, and associated with the product identified by the value of the item identifier 7111 acquired from the sales management record 711. In addition to the value of the “relay price” item acquired from the sales management record 711 (that is, the

items

7113, 7114, 7115, 7116), the values of the

items

7212, 7213, 7214 acquired from the product management record 72 are Operates to be displayed on the screen of the user device 30 It may be so.

In this way, for each product, in addition to the “relay price” of the product, information for identifying the product (for example, product manufacturer, product name, model number, etc.), product description, product photo It is displayed on the screen of the device 30.

In the case where at least one future purchase price of the product among the “relay prices” of the product is determined according to the sales price of the product, the sales price of the product is stored in the sales management database 71. It is sufficient that at least one future purchase price of the product does not need to be stored in the sales management database 71 (in this case, the

items

7114, 7115, and 7116 are omitted from the configuration of the sales management record 711 illustrated in FIG. 3A). Is possible). For example, the purchase price (purchase price 1) within 3 months from the sales date is 90% of the sales price, and the purchase price (purchase price 2) within 6 months from the sales date is 70% of the sales price. If the purchase price (purchase price 3) within one year from the sales management database 71 is determined to be 50% of the sales price, the processor unit 60 stores the value of the sales price item 7113 (ie, the sales price). It is sufficient to acquire only the price), and thereafter, the processor unit 60 calculates 90%, 70%, and 50% of the selling price, respectively, and 90% of the selling price is a purchase price (within 3 months from the sales date). As purchase price 1), 70% of the sales price is the purchase price within 6 months from the sales date (purchase price 2), and 50% of the sales price is the purchase price within one year from the sales date (purchase price) 3) As it It is, may operate as displayed on the screen of the user device 30. Furthermore, ratios such as 90%, 70%, and 50% do not need to be fixed values, and may be variable values that can be rewritten. Such a ratio of the selling price can be stored in the memory unit 62 in the computer system 10, for example.

Thus, the sales management information managed by the sales management database 71 includes at least the sales price of the product. The processor unit 60 is configured to allow information indicating at least one future purchase price of a product to be displayed on the screen of the user device 30 based on the sales management information.

FIG. 6B shows an example of a product introduction screen displayed on the smartphone screen via an application installed on the smartphone, which is one of the user devices 30. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, a photograph of a product (for example, a photograph of a handbag) and information for identifying the product (for example, a OO brand handbag) are displayed. As described above, these pieces of information can be acquired by searching the product management database 72, and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone. Further, the “relay price” of the product is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, as the “relay price” of the product, “¥ 200,000” as the “purchase price of the product” (= the sale price of the product), “from the sale date of the product” “¥ 180,000” as “Purchase Price”, “¥ 140,000” as “Purchase Price within 6 Months” (From Product Sale Date), “Purchase Price within 1 Year” "¥ 100,000" is displayed. As described above, these pieces of information can be acquired by searching the sales management database 71 and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone. Alternatively, as described above, the information is obtained by searching the sales management database 71 to obtain the sales price of the product, and according to the sales price of the product, the “purchase price within 3 months”, “within 6 months” It can also be obtained by calculating “purchase price” and “purchase price within one year”, respectively, and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone.

FIG. 6C shows another example of the product introduction screen displayed on the smartphone screen via an application installed on the smartphone, which is one of the user devices 30. In the example shown in FIG. 6C, as the “relay price” of the product, “¥ 200,000” as “the purchase price of the product” (= the sale price of the product), “from the sale date of the product” “90% Guarantee” (for sale price) as “Purchase Price”, “70% Guarantee” (for sale price) as “Purchase Price within 6 Months” (from Product Sale Date), (From Product Sale Date) 4) Information of “50% guarantee” (of sales price) as “purchase price within one year” is displayed. These pieces of information can be acquired by, for example, acquiring the sales price of the product by searching the sales management database 71 and acquiring the respective ratios to the sales price from the memory unit 62 in the computer system 10. And can be displayed on the screen of a smartphone.

Alternatively, both “¥ 180,000” and “90% Guarantee” are displayed on the smartphone screen as the “purchase price within 3 months” (from the date of product sale), and “6 months from the date of product sale”. Both “¥ 140,000” and “70% guarantee” are displayed on the screen of the smartphone as “within the purchase price”, and “100,000” as “within the purchase price within one year”. And “50% guarantee” may be displayed on the screen of the smartphone.

Thus, each of the at least one future purchase price of the product may directly indicate the future purchase price (eg, “¥ 200,000”), or indirectly the future purchase price. (For example, “90% guarantee” of the sales price). In the present invention, it does not matter in what form the future purchase price is indicated. Furthermore, in the present invention, it does not matter in what form the sales price of the product is indicated. Or you may make it not display the information which shows the sales price of goods on the screen of a smart phone.

FIG. 7A shows a computer system 10 for realizing a step (step S4 in FIG. 1) of presenting a “relay price” of a product to a customer (customer A) who purchased the product after the sale of the product and before the purchase of the product. An example of processing executed in the system will be described. This processing is expressed in the form of a program, for example. Such a program is installed in the memory 62 in the computer system 10 by being downloaded via a network such as the Internet 20 or via a storage medium such as a ROM or a RAM. The processor unit 60 reads a program stored in the memory unit 62 and executes the program. In the example shown in FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the “relay price” of the product is displayed on the screen of the user device 30 of the customer A via the application installed in the user device 30 of the customer A. Hereinafter, each step of the processing illustrated in FIG. 7A will be described.

Step S7010: From the sales management record 711 stored in the sales management database 71, the processor unit 60 determines the value of the item identifier 7111 of the sales management record 711, the value of the item 7112 of the sales date, and “relay price”. (Ie,

items

7113, 7114, 7115, 7116).

Step S7020: The processor unit 60 compares the current date with the value set in the item 7112 of the sale date of the product, thereby obtaining a purchase price that is not likely to be applied to the product among the purchase price of the product. It is determined whether or not there is. If the determination result is “No”, the process proceeds to step S7030. If the determination result is “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S7040. For example, the processor unit 60 determines whether or not the current date is within 3 months from the purchase date of the product, and if it is determined that the current date is not within 3 months from the purchase date of the product, the processor 60 The unit 60 determines that the “purchase price within 3 months” is not likely to be applied to the product. For example, the processor unit 60 determines whether or not the current date is within 6 months from the purchase date of the product, and if it is determined that the current date is not within 6 months from the purchase date of the product, the processor 60 The unit 60 determines that the “purchase price within 3 months” and the “purchase price within 6 months” are not likely to be applied to the product. For example, the processor unit 60 determines whether or not the current date is within one year from the purchase date of the product, and if it is determined that the current date is not within one year from the purchase date of the product, the processor 60 The part 60 determines that “the purchase price within 3 months”, “the purchase price within 6 months” and “the purchase price within 1 year” are not likely to be applied to the product.

Step S7030: The processor unit 60 associates the value of the item “relay price” with the product identified by the value of the item 7111 of the product identifier acquired from the sales management record 711 (that is, the

items

7113, 7114, 7115, 7116) is displayed on the screen of the user device 30.

Step S7040: The processor unit 60 associates the value of the item “relay price” with the product identified by the value of the item identifier item 7111 acquired from the sales management record 711 (ie,

items

7113, 7114, 7115, 7116) is displayed on the screen of the user device 30. However, the purchase price determined not to be applicable to the product is displayed in a manner different from the purchase price determined to be applicable to the product. For example, a purchase price determined not to be applicable to the product is displayed in lighter characters than a purchase price determined to be applicable to the product.

In this way, for each product, the “relay price” of the product (that is, the purchase price of the product and at least one future purchase price of the product) is displayed on the screen of the user device 30. However, when the “relay price” of a product is displayed, the purchase price that is determined not to be applicable to the product is the purchase price that is determined to be applicable to the product. It is displayed in a different manner (for example, in lighter characters than the purchase price determined to be applicable to the product).

In the case where at least one future purchase price of the product among the “relay prices” of the product is determined according to the purchase price of the product (= the sale price of the product), the sale price of the product is the sales management database. As described above, it is sufficient that the price is stored in 71, and at least one future purchase price of the product does not need to be stored in the sales management database 71 (in this case, sales management illustrated in FIG. 3A).

Items

7114, 7115, and 7116 can be omitted from the configuration of the record 711).

FIG. 7B shows an example of a “micro-zette” screen displayed on the screen of the customer A's smartphone via an application installed on the smartphone of the customer A, which is one of the user devices 30. In the example shown in FIG. 7B, a photograph of a product (for example, a photograph of a handbag) and product information (for example, a handbag of a OO brand) are displayed. As described above, these pieces of information can be acquired by searching the product management database 72, and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone. Further, the “relay price” of the product is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7B, as the “relay price” of the product, “¥ 200,000” as “the purchase price of the product” (= the sale price of the product), “from the purchase date of the product” “¥ 180,000” as the “purchase price”, “¥ 140,000” as the “purchase price within 6 months” (from the purchase date of the product), “the purchase price within one year” (from the purchase date of the product) "¥ 100,000" is displayed. As described above, these pieces of information can be acquired by searching the sales management database 71 and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone. Alternatively, as described above, the information is obtained by searching the sales management database 71 to obtain the sales price of the product, and according to the sales price of the product, the “purchase price within 3 months”, “within 6 months” It can also be obtained by calculating “purchase price” and “purchase price within one year”, respectively, and can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone.

FIG. 7C shows another example of the “micro-zette” screen displayed on the screen of the customer A smartphone via the application installed on the smartphone of customer A, which is one of the user devices 30. In the example shown in FIG. 7C, as the “relay price” of the product, “¥ 200,000” as “the purchase price of the product” (= the sale price of the product), “from the purchase date of the product” "Purchase price" (purchase price) "90% guarantee", (from the purchase date of the product) "purchase price within 6 months" (purchase price) "70% guarantee", (from the purchase date of the product) 4) Information of “50% guarantee” (of purchase price) as “purchase price within one year” is displayed. These pieces of information can be acquired by, for example, acquiring the sales price of the product by searching the sales management database 71 and acquiring the respective ratios to the sales price from the memory unit 62 in the computer system 10. And can be displayed on the screen of a smartphone.

Alternatively, both “¥ 180,000” and “90% Guarantee” are displayed on the smartphone screen as the “purchase price within 3 months” (from the date of product purchase) and “6 months from the date of product purchase”. Both “¥ 140,000” and “70% Guarantee” are displayed on the screen of the smartphone as “within the purchase price within” and “¥ 100,000” as the “within one year purchase price”. And “50% guarantee” may be displayed on the screen of the smartphone.

Thus, each of the at least one future purchase price of the product may directly indicate the future purchase price (eg, “¥ 200,000”), or indirectly the future purchase price. (For example, “90% guarantee of purchase price”). In the present invention, it does not matter in what form the future purchase price is indicated. Furthermore, in the present invention, it does not matter in what form the purchase price of the product is indicated. Or you may make it not display the information which shows the purchase price of goods on the screen of a smart phone.

7B and 7C, the “purchase price within 3 months” is displayed in lighter characters than “purchase price within 6 months” and “purchase price within 1 year”. This is because 3 months have already passed from the purchase date of the product, and there is no possibility that the purchase price within 3 months will be applied to the product. Thus, in order to clearly distinguish between a purchase price determined not to be applicable to the product and a purchase price determined to be applicable to the product, The purchase price determined not to be applied is displayed in a manner different from the purchase price determined to be applicable to the product.

In addition to displaying “Purchase price within 3 months” or in place of “Purchase price within 3 months”, “Purchase price within 3 months” is the actual date applicable to the product. (For example, 4/1 to 6/30) may be displayed. The same applies to the indication of “purchase price within 6 months” and “purchase price within one year”. Furthermore, in addition to displaying the purchase price that is not likely to apply to the product, or instead of displaying the purchase price that is not likely to apply to the product, the period in which the purchase price is applied ends A character (for example, “period end”) indicating that this has occurred may be displayed.

The processor unit 60 compares the current date with the value set in the item 7112 of the sale date of the product, so that the current date is a predetermined amount higher than the date when the future purchase price of the product is changed. You may make it determine whether it is only before a period. Here, the predetermined period may be an arbitrary period. If it is determined that the current date is a predetermined period before the date when the future purchase price of the product is changed, the processor unit 60 will change the future purchase price of the product in the near future. It is preferable to operate so that a notification to that effect is displayed on the screen of the user device 30 of the customer A. For example, the processor unit 60 determines whether or not the current date is a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the date when three months have elapsed from the purchase date of the product. If it is determined that a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) has passed before the day when three months have passed since the purchase date, the processor unit 60 will change the future purchase price of the product in the near future. It is preferable to operate so that a notice to that effect is displayed on the screen of the user device 30 of the customer A. For example, the processor unit 60 may operate such that such notification is displayed on the screen of the customer A's smartphone by push notification or email. Alternatively, the processor unit 60 may operate such that such notification is displayed on the screen of the personal computer of the customer A by mail. For example, such a notification may be a message that “a bag you purchased for ¥ 200,000 on a day of a month will be ¥ 140,000 on a day of a month”. Alternatively, such a notification may be a message that “a bag currently worth ¥ 180,000 will be ¥ 140,000 on the day of the month. Similarly, the processor unit 60 determines whether or not the current date is a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the date when six months have elapsed from the purchase date of the product. If it is determined that a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) has passed before the day when six months have elapsed from the purchase date of the product, the processor unit 60 will change the future purchase price of the product in the near future. The notification may be displayed on the screen of the user device 30 of the customer A, and the processor unit 60 may determine that the current date is greater than the date when one year has elapsed from the purchase date of the product. Whether the current date is a predetermined number of days (for example, 10 days) before the day when one year has elapsed from the purchase date of the product. In the case where it is determined, the processor unit 60 will determine the future purchase price of the product in the near future. Notification vary may operate as displayed on the screen of the user device 30 of the customer A.

When a plurality of products are virtually stored in the customer A's “micro closet”, the total “purchase price” of each of the plurality of products is automatically calculated. The total of the “purchase price” may be displayed as the “total asset amount” of the customer A on the screen of the “micro closet” of the customer A. In this case, when the “purchase price” of at least one of the plurality of products virtually stored in the “micro closet” of the customer A fluctuates (for example, rises), the customer is linked with the change. It is preferable that the “total asset amount” of A is automatically updated.

In addition, customer A's “micro closet” includes products purchased from stores (operators) that operate “relay prices” and stores (operators) other than stores (operators) that operate “relay prices”. It is also possible to mix both purchased products and virtually store both products. In this case, for products purchased from stores (business operators) other than the stores (business operators) that operate “relay prices”, it is necessary to evaluate the same products as in step S1 of FIG. It is possible to reflect the result of the assessment of the product in the “total asset amount” by reflecting it in the “micro closet” of the customer A.

As described above, the present invention has been exemplified using the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited to this embodiment. It is understood that the scope of the present invention should be construed only by the claims. It is understood that those skilled in the art can implement an equivalent range based on the description of the present invention and the common general technical knowledge from the description of specific preferred embodiments of the present invention.
