Abstract

An electronic commerce server (10) includes a time adjustment information storage unit (10b), an irregular day information comparison circuit (43), and an irregular day notification circuit (44). A time adjustment information storage unit (10b) records information on time adjustment. The irregular day information comparison circuit (43) compares the available time periods and time adjustment information for transactions. An irregular day notification circuit (44) notifies the occurrence of an execution time adjustment day. The e-commerce server (10) checks whether there is a region that performs time adjustment during the transaction availability period. If the start date or end date of daylight saving time occurs, the date is checked by the irregular day information comparison circuit (43). The irregular day notification circuit (44) sends the occurrence of the time adjustment day to the vendor's computer (1a). The seller changes the deal availability period, and the buyer learns of the fact that an irregular day occurs in the deal availability period, that is, the start date or end date, and how the deal availability period differs from the current clock time.
