Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a resale support system, method, and program for supporting the resale of products. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, mail order services have been widely used, where products are ordered from e-commerce (electronic commerce) sites, packed in packaging materials, and shipped.

[0003] Furthermore, the received goods are commonly traded between individuals. For example, there are auction systems (Yahoo! Auctions (registered trademark) and the like) that allow individuals to buy and sell goods through an auction format, and internet sales systems (Mercari (registered trademark) and the like) that allow individuals to set a price and put up a product for sale.

[0004] When an individual lists an item on a system such as the one described above, they must enter detailed product information (product name, manufacturer name, etc.) and a description of the item's condition (date of purchase, state of damage, etc.) into the listing settings screen.

[0005] Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a technology that assists in the input of product information by reading an access code to a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for listing a product on a specified resale site such as Yahoo! Auctions, obtaining product information from past transaction information, and outputting a listing setting screen with the product information already entered.

[0006] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 proposes a technology that assists in writing listing information by photographing the exterior of a product and retrieving the information from a recording device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] However, the technologies described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are limited technologies used within the trading systems of specific resellers, and therefore cannot be used when reselling to any reseller.

[0009] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a resale support system, method, and program that can reduce the burden on users by assisting them in entering product information when listing an item for resale at any resale destination. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The resale support system of the present invention comprises a memory unit that stores a plurality of pieces of advertising information of the reseller, including access information for the reseller site, to be printed on product packaging materials; an advertising information selection unit that selects one piece of advertising information from the plurality of pieces of advertising information in response to acquisition of product order information; and an order information management unit that manages the product order information in association with the selected advertising information, and the order information management unit outputs product order information corresponding to the advertising information to the reseller site in response to reading the advertising information printed on the product packaging material. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the resale support system of the present invention, a plurality of pieces of advertising information for resellers, including access information for the reseller site, to be printed on product packaging materials, are stored in advance, and one piece of advertising information is selected from the plurality of pieces of advertising information in response to acquisition of product order information, and the product order information and the selected advertising information are associated and managed, and in response to reading the advertising information printed on the product packaging material, product order information corresponding to that advertising information is output to the reseller site, thereby assisting in the input of product information when listing the product at any reseller and reducing the burden on the user.

[0013] An embodiment of a resale support system of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a resale support system 1 of this embodiment.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the resale support system 1 of this embodiment includes an advertising management device 10, an EC management device 20, an advertiser management device 30, a resale destination management device 40, an orderer terminal device 50, and a logistics company management device 60.

[0015] The advertising management device 10, EC management device 20, advertiser management device 30, resale destination management device 40, purchaser terminal device 50 and logistics company management device 60 are connected to communication lines such as the Internet line and are configured to enable the exchange of various information via the communication lines.

[0016] The resale support system 1 of this embodiment is a system that supports an orderer who has ordered and purchased a specific product to input information about the product to be resold when reselling the purchased product using a resale site.

[0017] Specifically, the resale support system 1 of this embodiment prints advertising information (hereinafter referred to as resale destination advertising information) of a resale site selected from multiple resale sites onto the product packaging material. The recipient of the product accesses the resale site by reading the resale destination advertising information printed on the packaging material using a terminal device. In response to the recipient's access to the product's terminal device, the resale site obtains order information for the product packed in the packaging material and displays this information to assist the recipient in entering information about the product to be resold (the product packed in the packaging material). The recipient may be the orderer himself or someone other than the orderer and designated by the orderer.

[0018] Each device constituting the resale support system 1 of this embodiment will be described in more detail below.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the advertisement management device 10 includes a control unit 11 and a storage unit 12.

[0020] The control unit 11 controls the entire advertisement management device 10. In particular, the control unit 11 of this embodiment includes an advertisement information acquisition unit 13, an order information acquisition unit 14, an advertisement information selection unit 15, an advertisement information output unit 16, and an order information management unit 17.

[0021] The advertising information acquisition unit 13 acquires the resale destination advertising information output from the advertiser management device 30. The resale destination advertising information is advertising information of the resale site as described above. The resale destination advertising information includes advertising content such as advertising images and text to be printed on the packaging material and a URL leading to the resale site.

[0022] The resale destination advertising information also includes the advertisement publication time, publication frequency, publication priority, target audience, etc. The publication priority is the priority for publication on packaging material, and is used when the advertising information selection unit 15 selects resale destination advertising information. The higher the publication priority, the higher the publication priority. The publication priority is set in advance in the advertiser management device 30 according to the advertising fees paid by the advertiser, etc. The target audience is the recipient of the product to be packed in the packaging material on which the resale destination advertising information is published, or the packaging material (product) on which the resale destination advertising information is published.

[0023] The resale destination advertising information acquired by the advertising information acquisition unit 13 is stored in the storage unit 12 as an advertising table for each advertiser (resale destination).

[0024] The order information acquisition unit 14 acquires order information for a product by an orderer output from the orderer terminal device 50. The order information includes attribute information of the product ordered by the orderer and orderer information. The product attribute information includes information such as the product genre, product name, product ID, manufacturer, series name, release date, and performance specifications. The orderer information also includes information such as the orderer's identification information, name, age, address, job description, estimated income, product delivery address (recipient and recipient's address), and payment method.

[0025] In response to the acquisition of order information by the order information acquisition unit 14, the advertisement information selection unit 15 refers to the advertisement table stored in the storage unit 12 and selects one of the resale destination advertisement information from the plurality of resale destination advertisement information.

[0026] As a method for selecting reseller advertisement information, for example, the reseller advertisement information may be selected based on information about the packaging material that the product will be packed in. Specifically, the reseller advertisement information may be selected based on the size and shape of the packaging material that the product will be packed in, or the reseller advertisement information may be selected based on a priority set based on reasons such as ease of viewing for the recipient when it is posted on the packaging material.

[0027] Furthermore, resale destination advertising information may be selected based on the material of the packaging material. For example, if the packaging material is one that easily bleeds advertising images or does not adhere well to advertising images, resale destination advertising information that includes simple advertising images such as illustrations rather than detailed advertising images, or resale destination advertising information that mainly includes a catch phrase, etc. may be selected.

[0028] Regarding the information on the packaging material, for example, information output from the distributor management device 60 may be used, or the packaging material may be determined based on the product to be packaged.

[0029] The advertisement information selection unit 15 may also select resale destination advertisement information that includes a target that matches the product or recipient of the order information.

[0030] Furthermore, the advertising information selection unit 15 may select resale destination advertising information based on product history information. For example, initially, resale destination advertising information such as Yahoo! Auctions (registered trademark) or Mercari (registered trademark) where a relatively high price is set may be selected, and after several resales, resale destination advertising information such as Jimoty where a relatively low price is set may be selected, or resale destination advertising information such as a bazaar or a recycling site may be selected.

[0031] Furthermore, if there is a resale site that strongly promotes environmental protection, the resale destination advertisement information may be preferentially selected according to the number of times of reuse.

[0032] The method for selecting the resale destination advertising information is not limited to the above example, and any other selection method may be used.

[0033] The order information management unit 17 stores and manages the order information acquired by the order information acquisition unit 14 and the resale destination advertising information selected by the advertising information selection unit 15 in response to the acquisition of that order information in the memory unit 12 in association with each other. The order information management unit 17 issues a management code for each combination of order information and resale destination advertising information, and the memory unit 12 stores the management code, order information, and resale destination advertising information in association with each other as shown in Fig. 2. The management code also stores product history information in association with each other as shown in Fig. 2. Note that the advertising information of the present invention includes the management code and resale destination advertising information of this embodiment.

[0034] The history information stores the purchase history when the product is purchased by the orderer. If the product is put up for sale on a resale site and then sold, the successful bid information is stored. If the product is subsequently resold again, the successful bid information is added sequentially and stored.

[0035] If the order information includes multiple products, a management code is issued for each product, and the products are managed as separate order information.

[0036] The management code includes identification information of the order information and access information such as a URL for the orderer (recipient) of the product to access the advertising management device 10. In this embodiment, when the orderer of the product accesses the advertising management device 10, a URL for accessing the reseller site is output from the advertising management device 10 to the orderer. In other words, the management code can be said to be access information for the orderer to access the reseller site.

[0037] The advertising information output unit 16 outputs the management code issued by the order information management unit 17 and the advertising image and text included in the resale destination advertising information to the logistics company management device 60. The management code and advertising image are output to a printing device 61 connected to the logistics company management device 60 and printed on packaging materials.

[0038] When the orderer resells the product, the management code printed on the packaging material is read by the orderer terminal device 50. The orderer terminal device 50 accesses the advertising management device 10 based on the read management code. The order information management unit 17 identifies the resale destination advertising information corresponding to the management code read by the orderer terminal device 50, and outputs a URL to the orderer terminal device 50 that leads to the resale site.

[0039] The purchaser accesses the resale site using the purchaser terminal device 50. At this time, a management code is output from the purchaser terminal device 50 to the resale destination management device 40, which manages the resale site.

[0040] When the resale destination management device 40 is accessed by the orderer terminal device 50, it requests the advertising management device 10 to output order information based on the input management code.

[0041] In response to a request to output order information from the resale destination management device 40, the order information management unit 17 identifies the order information corresponding to the management code and outputs the identified order information to the resale destination management device 40.

[0042] The advertisement management device 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), semiconductor memories such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), storage such as a hard disk, and a communication I / F (Interface).

[0043] An embodiment of the resale support program of the present invention is installed in the storage of the advertisement management device 10. When this resale support program is started by the CPU, the functions of the control unit 11 and the memory unit 12 of the advertisement management device 10 are realized.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, the functions of the control unit 11 and the memory unit 12 are performed by executing the advertising management program by the CPU, but some or all of the functions performed by the advertising management program may be configured from hardware such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or other electrical circuits.

[0045] Next, the resale destination management device 40 will be described.

[0046] The resale destination management device 40 is a server device that manages the resale site. As described above, the resale destination management device 40 acquires product order information from the advertising management device 10, and based on the order information, displays a commodity setting screen on the orderer terminal device 50 that is accessing the resale site. Then, the resale destination management device 40 automatically inputs product attribute information included in the order information into the commodity setting screen.

[0047] FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of a listing setting screen, and FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of a listing screen displayed on a resale site based on the settings entered on the listing setting screen shown in FIG. 3A.

[0048] In the listing setting screen shown in FIG. 3A, the genre, product ID, product name, and description (including performance specifications, etc.) of the listing product are automatically entered. Note that the automatically entered content is not limited to the content shown in FIG. 3A and may include any information contained in the product attribute information. Furthermore, the automatic entry of product attribute information may be performed when the "Automatically enter from code" button shown in FIG. 3A is selected. Furthermore, when the "Edit" button shown in FIG. 3A is selected, the automatically entered content may be edited. Furthermore, although the product's performance and specifications are automatically entered in the description field of the listing setting screen, the orderer (reseller) may be able to manually add further information.

[0049] The price setting, number of items to be sold, start time, end time, etc. of the auction information are set and input manually by the purchaser.

[0050] In addition, if the order information includes multiple products, and multiple products are packed in one packaging material on which resale destination advertising information is printed, the product information of each product is listed and displayed based on the attribute information of each product. The purchaser may be able to select the product to put up for sale from the listed product information.

[0051] After various information has been set and input on the listing settings screen shown in Figure 3A, when the "List" button shown in Figure 3A is selected, the listing screen shown in Figure 3B is displayed, reflecting the information set and input on the listing settings screen.

[0052] 3B is displayed based on the attribute information of the recipient included in the order information, and the product description is displayed based on the attribute information of the product included in the order information. Also, the "Product History" field on the product listing screen is displayed based on the history information associated with the order information.

[0053] In addition, campaign information may be included in the resale destination advertising information, and when the resale destination management device 40 acquires the order information, the campaign information of the resale destination advertising information may also be acquired, and the orderer may use the campaign information when reselling. Campaign information may include, for example, a discount on the listing fee.

[0054] Next, the orderer terminal device 50 will be described.

[0055] The orderer terminal device 50 is used by the orderer to order and purchase the product and then resell it, and may be, for example, a desktop computer or a notebook computer, but is not limited to these and may also be a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or smartphone.

[0056] The orderer terminal device 50 includes a control unit 51, a display unit 52, and a reading unit 53. The control unit 51 controls the entire orderer terminal device 50. In particular, the control unit 51 accesses the EC management device 20 that manages the EC site and displays a product ordering screen. The control unit 51 displays information about the product to be ordered, attribute information of the orderer (age, gender, address, etc.), attribute information of the recipient, etc., on the order screen so that the information can be set and input, and outputs the various information set and input on the order screen as necessary.

[0057] The display unit 52 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The above-mentioned order screen is displayed on the display unit 52. If the orderer terminal device 50 is a tablet terminal or a smartphone, the order screen is displayed on a touch panel of the tablet terminal or smartphone.

[0058] Reading unit 53 reads the management code printed on the packaging material. Reading unit 53 has, for example, a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera and a photographing optical system, and outputs the read information to control unit 51. Control unit 51 accesses advertisement management device 10 based on the information read as described above, receives the URL of the reseller site output from advertisement management device 10, and accesses the reseller site.

[0059] The EC management device 20 is a server device that manages an EC site. The EC management device 20 receives order information output from the orderer terminal device 50, and outputs the order information to the advertisement management device 10 and the logistics company management device 60.

[0060] The distributor management device 60 is used by the distributor, and may be, for example, a desktop computer or a notebook computer, but is not limited to these, and may also be a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone.

[0061] The distributor management device 60 receives the order information output from the EC management device 20, and manages the process of the ordered products from preparation to packaging, sealing and shipping based on the order information.

[0062] Furthermore, the distributor management device 60 is connected to a printer 61. The printer 61 prints the advertising image, text, and management code described above on packaging materials such as cardboard boxes used to pack products. The printing method is not particularly limited, but inkjet printing and thermal printing, for example, can be used.

[0063] Furthermore, the printing device 61 may perform printing processing on packaging material before packaging, or may perform printing processing on packaging after packaging products. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the printing device 61 that performs printing processing on packaging. As shown in Fig. 4, the printing device 61 includes a head unit 46 and a transport unit 2.

[0064] The transport unit 2 transports the package P in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 4. The package P has a print surface Ps that stands upright in a direction perpendicular to the transport surface, for example, as shown in Fig. 4.

[0065] The transport unit 2 includes a support table 3 and a transport belt unit 4. The support table 3 is a table that supports the transport belt unit 4.

[0066] The conveyor belt unit 4 includes a plurality of rollers and a conveyor belt extending in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the package P. The rollers are arranged parallel to and spaced apart in the conveying direction of the package P. A circular conveyor belt is stretched between the parallelly arranged rollers, and the rollers rotate to move the conveyor belt, thereby conveying the package P.

[0067] The head unit 46 performs printing by ejecting ink onto the printing surface Ps of the package P transported by the transport unit 2.

[0068] 4, the head unit 46 has four line heads 46a, 46b, 46c, and 46d. The four line heads 46a to 46d are each a plurality of inkjet heads arranged in the vertical direction, and are arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the package P.

[0069] The four line heads 46a to 46d eject ink of C (cyan), M (magenta), Y (yellow), and K (black), respectively.

[0070] As the transport unit 2 transports the package P, ink is sequentially ejected in the horizontal direction from each of the line heads 46a to 46d, thereby performing the printing process.

[0071] Furthermore, when printing on multiple sides of a packaging material, a printing system can be used in which, after printing one side, the packaging material is turned around and printed on a different side using the same printing line (head unit 46) according to the circulation path. Alternatively, printing can be performed using a system in which multiple printing devices are provided and multiple sides are printed at once.

[0072] The advertiser management device 30 is used by advertising agencies and the like that manage advertising requests, and is, for example, a desktop computer or a notebook computer, but is not limited to these and may also be a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone.

[0073] The advertiser management device 30 receives and manages advertising requests from multiple advertisers (resale destinations). The advertiser management device 30 outputs the above-mentioned resale destination advertising information to the advertisement management device 10 in response to the advertising request from each advertiser.

[0074] Next, the processing flow of the above-mentioned resale support system 1 will be described with reference to the sequence diagrams shown in FIGS.

[0075] First, in response to an advertising request from an advertiser (resale destination), resale destination advertising information is output from the advertiser management device 30 to the advertising management device 10, acquired by the advertising information acquisition unit 13 of the advertising management device 10, and pre-stored in the memory unit 12 (S10).

[0076] Next, the orderer sets and inputs the order information using the orderer terminal device 50 (S12). The order information transmitted from the orderer terminal device 50 is accepted by the EC management device 20 (S14), and then output to the advertisement management device 10 and the logistics provider management device 60.

[0077] Then, the order information output from the EC management device 20 is received by the order information acquisition unit 14 of the advertisement management device 10 and the logistics company management device 60 (S16).

[0078] Next, the advertising information selection unit 15 of the advertising management device 10 selects one of the resale destination advertising information pieces stored in the storage unit 12 (S18). The order information management unit 17 associates the order information acquired by the order information acquisition unit 14 with the resale destination advertising information selected by the advertising information selection unit 15 and a management code, and stores them in the storage unit 12 (S20).

[0079] Then, the advertising information output unit 16 outputs the management code and the advertising image and text included in the resale destination advertising information to the logistics company management device 60 (S22). The management code, advertising image, etc. are output to the printing device 61 connected to the logistics company management device 60 and printed on the packaging material (S24).

[0080] The ordered product is then packed and sealed in a packaging material on which a management code and an advertising image are printed (S26), and then shipped to the destination indicated in the ordered product information (S28).

[0081] When the orderer resells the purchased product, the orderer terminal device 50 reads the management code printed on the packaging material (S30). The orderer terminal device 50 accesses the advertisement management device 10 based on the read management code (S32).

[0082] The order information management unit 17 of the advertising management device 10 identifies the resale destination advertising information corresponding to the management code read by the orderer terminal device 50, and outputs a URL leading to the resale site to the orderer terminal device 50 (S34).

[0083] The orderer accesses the resale site using the orderer terminal device 50 (S36). At this time, a management code is output from the orderer terminal device 50 to the resale destination management device 40 that manages the resale site.

[0084] When the resale destination management device 40 is accessed by the orderer terminal device 50, it requests the advertising management device 10 to output order information based on the input management code (S38).

[0085] In response to a request to output order information from the resale destination management device 40, the order information management unit 17 identifies the order information corresponding to the management code, and outputs the identified order information to the resale destination management device 40 (S40).

[0086] The resale destination management device 40 automatically inputs product information and the like into the exhibition setting screen based on the input order information, and displays it on the resale destination site (S42).

[0087] Next, the flow of processing after an item is put up for sale by an orderer (reseller) and then won by a successful bidder will be described with reference to the sequence diagrams shown in FIGS.

[0088] When a bidder wins a bid on an auctioned product, the winning bid information is output from the resale destination management device 40 to the advertisement management device 10 together with the product's management code (S50).

[0089] The order information management unit 17 of the advertising management device 10 identifies the order information of the successful bid product based on the input management code (S52), and updates the history information associated with the identified order information based on the input successful bid information (S54).

[0090] Then, the advertising information output unit 16 outputs the management code and the advertising image and text contained in the resale destination advertising information to the purchaser terminal device 50 (S56). At this time, the resale destination advertising information that has already been stored may be used, or, as described above, the resale destination advertising information may be reselected according to the number of resales, and the resale destination advertising information stored in the memory unit 12 may be reset.

[0091] The control code, advertising image, etc. are then output to a printer connected to the orderer terminal device 50 and printed on the packaging material (S58). Note that the packaging material delivered to the orderer may be reused, in which case the already printed control code, advertising image, etc. are erased if they are printed with erasable ink, and new control codes, advertising images, etc. are printed.

[0092] The successful bid product is then packed and sealed in a packaging material on which a management code, an advertising image, etc. are printed (S60), and then shipped to the delivery address indicated in the successful bid information (S62).

[0093] When the successful bidder resells the product for which he / she won a bid, the successful bidder's terminal device (not shown) reads the management code printed on the packaging material (S64).The successful bidder's terminal device accesses the advertisement management device 10 based on the read management code (S66).

[0094] The order information management unit 17 of the advertising management device 10 identifies the resale destination advertising information corresponding to the management code read by the terminal device for the successful bidder, and outputs a URL leading to the resale site to the terminal device for the successful bidder (S68).

[0095] The successful bidder accesses the resale site using the successful bidder's terminal device (S70), and at this time, a management code is output from the successful bidder's terminal device to the resale destination management device 40 that manages the resale site.

[0096] When resale destination management device 40 is accessed from the terminal device of the successful bidder, it requests advertisement management device 10 to output order information based on the input management code (S72).

[0097] In response to a request to output order information from the resale destination management device 40, the order information management unit 17 identifies the order information corresponding to the management code, and outputs the identified order information to the resale destination management device 40 (S74).

[0098] The resale destination management device 40 automatically inputs product information and the like into the exhibition setting screen based on the input order information, and displays it on the resale destination site (S76).

[0099] Thereafter, if the item put up for auction by the first successful bidder is won by the next successful bidder (in the case of a second successful bid), the same process as in the case of the first successful bid described above is repeated.

[0100] Furthermore, if the put-upon product is a product that has previously been resold and sold, the resale destination management device 40 performs processing to delete the previous selling information.

[0101] Furthermore, the EC management device 20 or the advertiser management device 30 may be configured to have all or part of the functions of the advertisement management device 10 of this embodiment.

[0102] According to the resale support system 1 of the above embodiment, when the management code printed on the product packaging is read, the order information for the product corresponding to that management code is output to the resale destination site, thereby assisting in the input of product information when listing the product at any resale destination and reducing the burden on the user.

[0103] Furthermore, by displaying listing information based on past order information, users of the resale site can check the condition and authenticity of the product, allowing them to use the site with peace of mind.

[0104] Furthermore, in the resale support system 1 of the above embodiment, product history information is displayed, allowing users to immediately understand past transaction status, etc. Furthermore, when packaging materials are reused, it fosters a sense of contribution to the environment and promotes awareness of effective reuse.

[0105] Furthermore, in the resale support system 1 of the above embodiment, if resale destination advertising information is selected based on the number of times the product has been resold, it will be possible to access and list the product at a more appropriate resale destination (Yahoo! Auctions, Jimoty, a recycling site, etc.).

[0106] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the components can be modified and embodied in practice without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining the multiple components disclosed in the above-described embodiments.
