The control unit 103 also has a function of realizing the second user's e-commerce site. For example, the control unit 103 is configured as a platform that realizes the second user's e-commerce site (see, for example, Reference: <url>https: / / thebase.com, retrieved April 1, 2024). In this embodiment, a case where the second user's e-commerce site has already been established will be described as an example.

[0059] The reception control unit 131 controls the process in which the information processing device 10 transmits and receives signals to and from external devices in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0060] The transmission control unit 132 controls the process in which the information processing device 10 transmits a signal to an external device in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0061] The registration unit 133 accepts registration of products to be put up for sale from the brand shop terminal 20. Specifically, when the registration unit 133 receives product information from the brand shop terminal 20, the registration unit 133 stores the product information in the product DB 122. The registration unit 133 may be configured to receive, from the brand shop terminal 20, a URL that lists information about the product of the brand shop terminal 20. In this case, the registration unit 133 may be configured to obtain product page information from the obtained URL, and automatically obtain product information from the information on that page.

[0062] The display unit 134 displays various screens on the brand shop terminal 20, the select shop terminal 30, and the purchaser terminal 40.

[0063] Specifically, the display unit 134 causes the brand shop terminal 20 to display a permission screen or the like for the first user to decide whether or not to permit the handling of the product.

[0064] The display unit 134 also displays a search screen, application screen, result screen, setting screen, etc., which will be described later, on the select shop terminal 30. The search screen is a screen on which the second user searches for products that he or she wishes to handle. The application screen is a screen on which the second user applies for permission to handle the products that he or she wishes to handle. The result screen is a screen on which the application made by the second user is displayed, indicating whether or not the application has been approved. The setting screen is a screen on which the second user sets the products to be displayed on the second user's e-commerce site.

[0065] The display unit 134 also displays on the purchaser terminal 40 an e-commerce screen or the like for the purchaser to purchase a product on the e-commerce site.

[0066] The search unit 135 searches the product DB 122 for products based on the search query.

[0067] Specifically, when the search unit 135 receives a search query input to a search screen from the select shop terminal 30, it uses the search query to search for products in the product DB 122. Then, the search unit 135 transmits the searched products and product information to the select shop terminal 30.

[0068] The search unit 135 may extract recommended products using the extraction unit 136 before transmitting the searched products and product information to the select shop terminal 30. In this case, the search unit 135 may transmit the searched products, recommended products, and their product information to the select shop terminal 30, and display them on the application screen.

[0069] The extraction unit 136 extracts recommended products that are recommended as products handled by the second user, using handling information, which is information about products handled on the e-commerce site of the second user, and the product information.

[0070] Specifically, the extraction unit 136 uses the handling information to extract product trends on the e-commerce site of the second user. The handling information is obtained by referring to the application product DB 123 for the second user, and acquiring at least information on products for which the second user has applied for permission, products for which permission has been granted to the second user, and products currently on sale. The extraction unit 136 references the product DB 122 from the product ID in the handling information to acquire information such as product information, category, and shop ID. The extraction unit 136 extracts product trends for the second user from the acquired product information, category, and shop ID. The product trends are information that combines, for example, product categories that are frequently handled, shops that frequently handle the product, product sizes included in the product information, and purchaser target information.

[0071] The extraction unit 136 extracts recommended products by searching the product DB 122 for products that match the trends of the extracted products. At this time, the extraction unit 136 may be configured to refer to the applied product DB 123 and exclude products that have already been applied for by the second user from the recommended products.

[0072] The extraction unit 136 may also extract recommended products using handling information, purchase history, and product information. The extraction unit 136 may refer to the history DB 124 and extract the best-selling products in the purchase history, products that purchasers who purchase products on the second user's e-commerce site often purchase on other e-commerce sites, etc. Then, the extraction unit 136 may extract recommended products by searching the product DB 122 for products that match the extracted products and product trends.

[0073] The permission unit 137 receives permission from the first user for the product requested by the operation of the second user, and makes the product available for sale on the e-commerce site of the second user.

[0074] Specifically, the permission unit 137 accepts the selection of a product by the first user through an operation by the second user from the select shop terminal 30. For example, the permission unit 137 accepts the selection of a product on an application screen displayed on the select shop terminal 30 as a result of a search on the search screen. The second user has applied for permission from the first user for the selected product.

[0075] The permission unit 137 notifies the brand shop terminal 20 of the information about the second user and the product information of the product selected by the second user. More specifically, the permission unit 137 acquires the information about the second user (shop name, owner, shop information, product category, etc.) from the shop DB 121 based on the shop ID of the second user. The permission unit 137 then notifies the brand shop terminal 20 of the information about the second user and the information about the selected product. The information about the second user and the information about the selected product are notified, for example, by displaying the above-mentioned permission screen on the brand shop terminal 20.

[0076] The permission unit 137 receives a notification from the brand shop terminal 20 permitting or disallowing the first user to sell the selected product through an operation by the first user. More specifically, the permission unit 137 receives the result of a decision made by the first user as to whether or not to permit the second user to sell the product requested for sale. Upon receiving the result of the decision, the permission unit 137 stores the result of the decision in the requested product DB 123. The permission unit 137 also notifies the second user of the result of the decision. The result of the decision is displayed on the select shop terminal 30, for example, on the result screen described above. The permission unit 137 may notify the select shop terminal 30 of the result of the decision by email or other means. In this case, the email may include a link to display the result screen.

[0077] If the determination result is denial, the permission unit 137 may be configured to cause the extraction unit 136 to extract recommended products and display the recommended products on the result screen. In this case, the second user can apply without searching for products other than the denied product, eliminating the need for the second user to search again. In this case, the extraction unit 136 may extract, as recommended products, products that are the same as or similar to the category, price, size, etc. of the requested product.

[0078] The setting unit 138 makes the product that has been permitted for the second user available for sale on the second user's e-commerce site.

[0079] Specifically, the setting unit 138 receives a selection of products to be sold on the second user's e-commerce site from the select shop terminal 30 through operation by the second user. The permission unit 137 sets the selected products to on sale in the application product DB 123. As a result, the application product DB 123 is referenced on the second user's e-commerce site, and products with an on-sale status are displayed. This allows the second user to operate an online select shop.

[0080] The purchase processing unit 139 performs processing at the e-commerce site in response to access from the purchaser terminal 40 .

[0081] Specifically, when the purchaser terminal 40 accesses the second user's e-commerce site, the purchase processing unit 139 displays the second user's e-commerce site. At this time, the purchase processing unit 139 references the second user's shop ID in the requested product DB 123 and makes the second user able to purchase products that are on sale.

[0082] The purchase processing unit 139 also receives order information from the purchaser terminal 40 regarding an order for the product put up by the first user at the e-commerce site of the second user. The purchase processing unit 139 performs payment processing for the purchase of the product using the payment method previously registered by the purchaser in accordance with the order information. The purchase processing unit 139 notifies the purchaser terminal 40 that payment has been completed. The purchase processing unit 139 also notifies the brand shop terminal 20 of the order information and information about the purchaser obtained by referencing the purchaser DB 125.

[0083] The purchase processing unit 139 receives shipping information regarding the shipping of products according to the order information from the brand shop terminal 20. The purchase processing unit 139 updates the inventory quantity of the products according to the shipping information. The purchase processing unit 139 also notifies the purchaser terminal 40 and the select shop terminal 30 of the shipping information.

[0084] Here, when the inventory of a product runs out (for example, when the inventory reaches 0), the purchase processing unit 139 displays a message that the product is out of stock on the pages for purchasing the product on the first user's e-commerce site and the second user's e-commerce site. Furthermore, the purchase processing unit 139 changes the display mode on the pages to make it impossible to purchase the product. In this case, the display unit 134 displays the pages, for example, by deactivating the purchase button.

[0085] Furthermore, the purchase processing unit 139 transfers a predetermined amount according to the selling price of the product to the first user and the second user in accordance with the shipping information. The predetermined amount is arbitrarily determined by a contract, etc. Furthermore, the purchase processing unit 139 may transfer the amount in a lump sum at a fixed timing, such as monthly processing.

[0175] <1.7.Summary> As described above, the technology disclosed herein stores product information about products listed by a first user who is a seller of the products. The technology disclosed herein accepts a product selection by a first user through an operation by a second user from a terminal of the second user who sells products, including products of other users, on an e-commerce site. The technology disclosed herein notifies the first user's terminal of information about the first user and product information about the products selected by the first user, and receives a notification from the first user's terminal that the first user is authorized to sell the selected products through an operation by the first user. The technology disclosed herein then makes the products authorized for sale to the second user available for sale on the second user's e-commerce site.

[0176] As a result, the technology disclosed herein allows users who open select shops to easily realize their select shops, and also allows users who provide products to prevent unauthorized sales of their products. In particular, brand shops can adhere to certain standards for handling their own products as part of their sales strategy in order to protect their own brands. It also prevents cases where brand shops do not want their products to be handled due to a discrepancy with the select shop concept.

[0177] The technology disclosed herein also stores handling information, which is information about products handled on the second user's e-commerce site. The technology disclosed herein uses the handling information and product-related information to extract recommended products that the second user recommends as products handled by the second user, and displays the extracted recommended products on the second user's terminal. By extracting products to recommend to the second user, the technology disclosed herein thereby helps to enrich the product lineup of the second user's select shop.

[0178] The technology disclosed herein also receives order information regarding an order for a product listed by a first user on the e-commerce site of a second user, and notifies the first user's terminal of the order information in accordance with the order information. The technology disclosed herein also receives shipping information regarding the shipping of the product in accordance with the order information from the first user's terminal, and updates the product inventory in accordance with the shipping information. This allows the technology disclosed herein to simultaneously manage the inventory of both the select shop and the seller.

[0179] Furthermore, when the product is out of stock, the technology disclosed herein displays a message on the page for purchasing the product on the second user's e-commerce site that the product is out of stock, and also displays a message that the product cannot be purchased. This makes it possible to avoid problems such as being unable to ship the product due to being out of stock.

[0180] <2. Modifications> Although several embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, these embodiments can be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the inventions and their equivalents as defined in the claims, as well as in the scope and spirit of the inventions.

[0181] (Automated Permits) In the above embodiment, the case where permission is requested from the first user has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, permission may be granted automatically.

[0182] In this case, the storage unit 120 stores the conditions for permission given by the first user. In response to receiving a product selection, the permission unit 137 determines whether the conditions are met using the information about the first user and the conditions. The conditions can be, for example, the social media account of the second user (the select shop itself or its owner), the products handled by the second user, media appearances related to the second user, the concept, capital, number of employees, not being on a blacklist, price, royalty rate, etc. This information about the second user can be stored, for example, in the shop information in the shop DB 121.

[0183] If the conditions are met, the permission unit 137 determines that permission for sale by the first user has been accepted.

[0184] Furthermore, the permission unit 137 may be configured to request permission from the brand shop terminal 20 if the conditions are not met. In this case, the permission screen may be configured to display which conditions were not met. This increases the likelihood that the first user will grant permission later, and provides an opportunity to review the conditions.

[0185] An example of the permission screen is shown in Fig. 20. Fig. 20 is an example of the permission screen that the display unit 134 of the information processing device 10 causes to be displayed on the brand shop terminal 20. As shown in Fig. 20, the screen 2000 includes a display unit 1501, a button 1502, a button 1503, and a display unit 2004. The display unit 2004 displays which conditions were not met.

[0186] Furthermore, if the conditions are not met, the second user may be shown which conditions were not met, thereby giving the second user an opportunity to take action to meet the conditions.

[0187] (Timing of recommended product extraction) The timing at which the extraction unit 136 extracts recommended products for the second user is not limited to the above embodiment. Recommended products may be extracted at any timing. Furthermore, the recommended products are not limited to being displayed on the screen, and may be notified to the second user by email to his / her email address.

[0188] The extraction unit 136 may also extract recommended products using a method other than the method disclosed in the above embodiment. For example, it may be configured to extract, as recommended products, products whose registration date is newer than a predetermined number of days and that have a certain number of favorites or more in a product category that the second user wants to check. In this case, the shop DB 121 may be configured to store information on the product category that the second user wants to check, and the product DB 122 may be configured to store the number of favorites of the product.

[0189] Furthermore, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which, from among products whose registration date is newer than a predetermined number of days, products containing a specific character string are extracted as recommended products. The specific character string may be, for example, a keyword preset by a second user, a trending keyword, or the like.

[0190] (others) In the above embodiment, the purchasing process is performed by the information processing device 10, but this is not limiting. For example, the purchasing process may be performed by a server used on an e-commerce site prepared by the second user. In this case, the necessary data may be stored on the server.

[0191] The product DB 122 may also be provided in the brand shop terminal 20 of each of a plurality of first users who are sellers. In this case, the information processing device 10 may access the brand shop terminal 20 to search for products, obtain product information, and so on. Since the first users often manage their own company's product inventory, the information processing device 10 can access and manage the brand shop terminal 20 on a case-by-case basis, thereby making it possible to appropriately manage inventory information between the information processing device 10 and the select shop of the second user. In this case, the brand shop terminal 20 will update the inventory quantity.
