Problems solved by technology

Techniques to reduce total cost regarding "expected market price" have been developed over the years, but it is difficult to determine "expected market price"
In other words, since price competition changes every day, and the price reflecting consumer demand (the price at which most consumers expect to buy) changes at any time, the best price cannot be determined, so even after trial and error in a test market, it is impossible to determine the best price. It takes a long time to analyze how to achieve balance

Embodiment 1

[0053] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a network structure according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , a joint purchasing server 1 is connected to terminal devices 3 and 4 via a network 2 .

[0054] The joint purchasing server 1 includes a central processing unit (CPU), a memory (MEM), a hard disk device (HD), and a CD-ROM drive device (CDRDV), which are connected to each other through a bus (BUS). Furthermore, a display device (CRT) serving as a display unit, a keyboard (KBD) serving as an input device, and a mouse (MOU) serving as an auxiliary input device are connected through a bus (BUS). The bus (BUS) is connected to the network 2 through the communication interface (I / F).

[0055]The program of Embodiment 1 to be described below is supplied to the union purchasing server 1 in the form of a medium such as CD-ROM, and installed in a hard disk device (HD) by a CD-ROM drive device (CDRDV). Call the program installed in the hard disk (HD) to the memory (M...

Embodiment 2

[0074] The system structure of embodiment 2 is the same as that of embodiment 1. Embodiment 2 is characterized in that an input price (not shown) proposed by each purchase applicant is set in the order data table 24 .

[0075] The input price used here refers to the price at which the purchase applicant expects to purchase at or below this price.

[0076] Assume that the commodity is a T-shirt (T-shirt) to describe an example of the input price of the commodity.

[0077] First, when the current price is YEN 1,000,500 and the input (purchase application) for one T-shirt is YEN 5,000, since only one T-shirt is input, the current price remains YEN 1,000,500. When the next purchase applicant enters the price of a T-shirt as ￥2,000, the total number of pieces entered is 2, so the current price is calculated as follows: 1,000,000÷(2×0.5+0.5)+500=￥667,166.

[0078] When the next purchase applicant enters the price of a T-shirt as ¥5,000, the total number of pieces entered is 3, so ...

example 1

[0105] When the current price is ¥3,499, the following formula is obtained if the 666 input prices previously made at the time of receipt of purchase application information are equal to or higher than ¥2,000.

[0106] A=2,000×667=1,334,000

[0107] B=1,000,000+(667×500)=1,333,500

[0108] Since A≧B is satisfied, the quantity and price determination section 22 determines that the sale is reached at this time, and sets the price to be ¥2,000.

[0109] Note that when the number of purchase applications reaches the set maximum sales quantity (1,000 pieces in this case), the sales price is set as the limited sales price (red price), and the joint purchase process for this share is completed.

[0110] In other words, in the case of a joint purchase of T-shirts, if the current price is ¥2,500 after entry or input of purchase application information for 999 T-shirts, when a purchase application input with an arbitrary price for the 1,000th T-shirt is received , to determine the sales...

Abstract

Proposed is a flexible joint purchase order system in which a unit price of an article can be reduced through production by a particular lot, and a sales price is determined based on demand without causing a seller to have a loss in relation to production and purchasing costs. Implemented is an article joint purchase system using: an accepting means for accepting purchase application information inputted through a terminal device and reporting an application for purchase, an entry price of a particular article, and a desired quantity; an order data table for storing the application for purchase, the entry price, and the desired quantity; a condition table for registering an initial cost, a fixed cost, a maximum sales quantity; and a network for comparing a first value obtained by multiplying the entry price by desired quantities entered at prices equal to or higher than the entry price with a second value obtained by adding the initial cost to a value obtained by multiplying the fixed cost by the desired quantities, for determining the sales to be made, and for transmitting the entry price as the sales-determined price to the terminal device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is effectively applied to server technology for managing joint purchases of commodities using a network such as the Internet. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid popularization of Internet technology, this technology is gradually being applied to the purchase and arrangement of commodity orders. [0003] In a merchandise sales site called a shopping mall, merchandise purchase operations can be performed through the screen of a terminal device. For example, a user checks an item to be purchased on a screen, and clicks a button displaying "purchase application" on the screen, thereby transmitting a purchase application to a server. [0004] On the other hand, there is also known a system for mediating buying and selling between different users, called an auction. In the auction site, a purchase applicant inputs a desired price of an offered commodity through a terminal device, and a purchase applicant who proposes the h...
