Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a product sales system, a product sales method, and a computer program for product sales. [Background technology]

[0002] Product sales systems that distribute owned products in a secondary manner are becoming widespread. For example, as disclosed in JP 2002-49769 A (Patent Document 1) and JP 2018-41446 A (Patent Document 2), such product sales systems match sellers and buyers online to execute product sales transactions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-49769 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-41446 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Usually, manufacturers and agents make profits by selling products to wholesalers. In the case of high-priced products such as furniture, the power relationship between manufacturers and agents tends to be weak in the distribution market. As a result, manufacturers and agents do not have the power to determine prices, and it is difficult to make a profit unless they sell directly to the manufacturers and agents themselves.

[0005] Despite this situation for manufacturers, in conventional secondary distribution product sales systems, it is the secondary sellers and the operators of the secondary distribution system who benefit. However, manufacturers and agents often receive repair requests when secondary products in the secondary distribution are damaged or deteriorated over time, and inquiries about how to handle secondary products in the secondary distribution. Even in such cases, manufacturers cannot confirm whether the product is a primary or secondary product, so manufacturers are sometimes forced to respond to such requests free of charge or at a low price, which reduces the motivation of primary sellers such as manufacturers to provide services.

[0006] To provide a product sales system which provides a market for buying and selling primary exhibitors of primary exhibited products, notifies the primary exhibitors of the existence of secondary exhibited products, and suppresses a decline in the motivation to provide services for the secondary exhibited products. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The product sales system of the present invention includes an information storage unit, a display data transmission unit, a trading execution unit, and an allocation execution unit. The information storage unit stores at least information on a primary exhibitor who first distributes a product in the trading market as a primary exhibited product, primary exhibited information including details and price information on the primary exhibited product, and secondary exhibited information including details and price information on a secondary exhibitor who distributes a product that has been distributed in the trading market as a primary exhibited product secondarily in the trading market as a secondary exhibited product. The display data transmission unit transmits display data for displaying at least the details and price information included in the primary exhibited information and the secondary exhibited information on a display screen of a communication terminal of a consumer. The trading execution unit executes a trading transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product via the communication terminal of the consumer. After a trading transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product is concluded, the allocation execution unit executes a procedure required to provide information on the concluded trading transaction to the primary exhibitor and to allocate a portion of the trading price of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor.

[0008] In the product sales system of the present invention, after the transaction execution unit has concluded a transaction for a secondary exhibited product, the display data transmission unit provides the primary exhibitor with information about the concluded transaction, thereby informing the primary exhibitor of the existence of the secondary exhibited product, and the distribution execution unit distributes a portion of the transaction amount to the primary exhibitor, thereby preventing a decline in the primary exhibitor's willingness to provide services for the secondary exhibited product (e.g., willingness to provide product warranties). In this specification, the portion of the transaction amount distributed to the primary exhibitor is called a "revenue share."

[0009] In this specification, a product that is put up for sale for the first time on the buying and selling market formed by the product sales system of the present invention is called a "primary listing product," and a product that has been circulated on the buying and selling market and is then put up for sale on the buying and selling market again is called a "secondary listing product." Therefore, a "primary listing product" is not necessarily a new product, but is a concept that can include used products, and a "secondary listing product" is a product that is put up for sale for the second or third time.

[0010] Here, the "primary seller" refers to a person who has exhibited a "primary exhibited product," and is assumed to be, but is not limited to, a manufacturer of the product, a sales agent of the manufacturer (including importers and wholesalers), or a distributor of the product. Also, the "secondary seller" refers to a purchaser of the product and a person who exhibits the secondary exhibited product.

[0011] The information storage unit may further store guarantee entity information regarding a guarantee entity that directly or indirectly guarantees the product of the primary exhibited product that the primary exhibitor has placed in primary distribution, and authentication information regarding whether or not the guarantee entity is authenticated to directly or indirectly guarantee the product of the primary exhibited product. The allocation execution unit may execute a procedure required to allocate a portion of the purchase price of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor after a purchase transaction of the secondary exhibited product that is authenticated to guarantee the product is concluded. The guarantee entity may vary depending on the product, but is assumed to be, for example, the manufacturer of the product. Therefore, a consumer of the product can purchase the product with peace of mind by checking the presence or absence of the authentication information. In addition, it is possible to allocate a portion of the purchase price to the primary exhibitor as compensation for the product guarantee.

[0012] In the buying and selling market, primary listing products that have not been certified by the guarantor may be put up for sale. In order to deal with such products, the product sales system may further include an authentication information transmission unit that transmits primary listing information of the primary listing product that has not been certified by the guarantor to the communication terminal of the guarantor so that the guarantor can authenticate it, and an information registration unit that has a function of storing authentication information about the primary listing product that has been certified by the guarantor in the information storage unit. In this way, even if a primary listing product that has not been certified by the guarantor is put up for sale, it is possible to assign authentication information later.

[0013] Whether or not a product is certified is managed as authentication information, so it is not essential, but it is preferable that certified primary listing products and secondary listing products are provided with an identifier indicating that they are certified products. In this way, it is possible to determine whether a product is certified or not just by looking at the identifier.

[0014] The identifier may be of any type, and may be, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark). Furthermore, when the identifier is read by the communication terminal, the display data transmission unit may transmit display data for reading the details of the product to which the identifier is assigned from the information storage unit and displaying the details on the display screen of the communication terminal. Using such an identifier can save secondary sellers the trouble of inputting the details of the product when putting the product up for sale on the buying and selling market, which will encourage secondary listings to be made more frequently.

[0015] The price of a secondary listing item is determined by various factors such as the condition of the item itself, the amount of the item in circulation, and the time of sale, and it is possible that the secondary seller will not be able to set an appropriate price. For this reason, the product sales system of the present invention may further include a reference price information providing unit that provides information about a reference price from the guarantee entity to the secondary seller. This allows the secondary seller to determine the listing price by referring to the reference price deemed appropriate by the guarantee entity.

[0016] The information storage unit stores data regarding the expiration date of the product warranty for the primary listed item and the secondary listed item, and if there is any product warranty period remaining for the primary listed item and the secondary listed item, the display data transmission unit may transmit the remaining product warranty period by including it in the display data.

[0017] The present invention can also be understood (or expressed) as a method for selling goods. The method for selling goods of the present invention includes an information storage step for storing at least information on a primary seller who initially distributes goods in the buying and selling market as a primary listing, primary listing information including details and price information on the primary listing, and secondary listing information including a secondary seller who distributes goods that have been distributed in the buying and selling market as a secondary listing and details and price information on the secondary listing, a display data transmission step for transmitting display data for displaying at least the details and price information included in the primary listing information and the secondary listing information on a display screen of a consumer's communication terminal, and a transaction execution step for executing a transaction for the primary listing or the secondary listing via the consumer's communication terminal.Steps and an allocation execution step of providing information on the established sales transaction to the primary exhibitor after the sales transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product is established, and executing a procedure required for allocating a part of the sales amount of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor.

[0018] The information storage step further stores guarantee entity information regarding the guarantee entity that directly or indirectly provides product guarantee for the primary listed product that has been primarily distributed by the primary seller, and authentication information regarding whether the guarantee entity is authenticated to directly or indirectly provide product guarantee for the primary listed product, and the allocation execution step may allocate a portion of the purchase price of the secondary listed product to the primary seller after a purchase transaction of the secondary listed product that is authenticated to provide product guarantee is completed.

[0019] The present invention can also be understood (or expressed) as a computer program for selling products that is installed and executed on a computer. The computer program for selling products of the present invention is configured to realize in a computer the following: primary listing information including information on a primary exhibitor who first distributes a product in the buying and selling market as a primary exhibited product and content and price information on the primary exhibited product; secondary listing information including a secondary exhibitor who distributes a product that has been distributed in the buying and selling market as a secondary exhibited product in the buying and selling market as a secondary exhibited product; a display data transmission unit that transmits display data for displaying at least the content and price information included in the primary exhibited information and the secondary exhibited information on a display screen of a consumer's communication terminal; a transaction execution unit that executes a transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product via the consumer's communication terminal; and an allocation execution unit that executes a procedure required to provide the primary exhibitor with information on the transaction after the transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product is completed and allocate a portion of the transaction amount of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor after the transaction of the primary exhibited product or the secondary exhibited product is completed.

[0020] The information storage unit may further store guarantee entity information regarding a guarantee entity that directly or indirectly guarantees a primary exhibited product that the primary exhibitor has placed in primary distribution, and authentication information regarding whether the guarantee entity is authenticated to directly or indirectly guarantee the primary exhibited product, and the allocation execution unit may execute a procedure required to allocate a portion of the purchase price of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor after a purchase transaction of a secondary exhibited product that is authenticated to guarantee the product is concluded. This program may, of course, be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0022] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of a product sales system, a product sales method, and a product sales computer program according to the present invention will be described in detail.

[0023] <Overall composition> 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a product sales system realized by executing a computer program for product sales according to the present embodiment. The product sales system 1 comprises a plurality of user terminals 3 (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, etc.) and a management server 5.

[0024] The product sales system 1 forms a product buying and selling market, matches primary and secondary sellers with demanders, and executes product buying and selling transactions. After a buying and selling transaction of a primary or secondary listed product is completed, the system provides information on the completed buying and selling transaction to the primary seller and distributes a portion of the buying and selling price of the secondary listed product to the primary seller (guarantor).

[0025] A "good" is a tangible movable property, and in this embodiment, high-priced goods such as furniture are particularly considered. A good that is offered for the first time on the market is a "primary offered good", and the person who offers the primary offered good is the "primary seller". A good that has been circulated on the market and is then offered for sale on the market again is a "secondary offered good", and the person who offers the secondary offered good is the "secondary seller". In this specification "Product warranty" means a warranty provided by a warranty entity, usually a warranty provided by a manufacturer ( Repairs for products that are damaged or deteriorated over time) However, depending on the warranty provider, it is expected that a warranty that is more generous (e.g., a discount on repair costs) and / or longer than the original warranty that the manufacturer provides for the product itself may be provided.

[0026] In this embodiment, the following three types of "primary sellers" are assumed: Case 1: Product manufacturer Case 2: A sales agent of a product. This includes a person who has signed an agency agreement with a manufacturer, an importer who purchases products from a manufacturer, or a wholesaler who has a direct relationship with the manufacturer. Case 3: A seller of goods who has no direct relationship with the manufacturer.

[0027] The multiple user terminals 3 are assumed to be mobile phones, smartphones, personal computers, etc., but are not limited thereto. Each user terminal 3 is a general-purpose terminal, and has a communication unit 7 for connecting to the telecommunication line NW, an input unit 9 such as a touch panel or a camera, a data storage unit 11, a control unit 13, a display control unit 15 constituting a part of the control unit 13, and a display screen 17. A user of the present system installs in advance, in his / her own user terminal 3, a part of the computer program for selling goods that is necessary for the operation of the user terminal 3. In this way, by executing the computer program for selling goods, the product selling system 1 is constructed for the user. The user can use the product selling system 1 through the computer program for selling goods by operating his / her own user terminal 3. Of course, the product selling system 1 may be made available by opening the website of the product selling system 1 in a web browser, instead of an individual computer program. Of course, each user terminal 3 may be a dedicated terminal.

[0028] In Fig. 1, for the sake of convenience, four user terminals 3 are shown, but it goes without saying that many more user terminals 3 may be connected. Furthermore, although each user terminal 3 is essentially the same, they are illustrated as being distinguished according to the user's position when using them: a primary seller terminal 3A when the user is a primary seller, a secondary seller terminal 3B when the user is a secondary seller, a consumer terminal 3C when the user is a consumer, and a guarantor terminal 3D when the user is a guarantor. Furthermore, when it is necessary to distinguish between the components of each user terminal 3 and explain them differently, the components are distinguished by adding the corresponding terminal type code A, B, C, or D to the code of the component.

[0029] The management server 5 is composed of a communication unit 19 connected to the electric communication line NW, an information storage unit 21, and a control unit 23. The control unit 23 includes a display data transmission unit 25, a buying and selling transaction execution unit 27, an allocation execution unit 29, an authentication information transmission unit 31, an information registration unit 33, and a reference price information provision unit 35.

[0030] The information storage unit 21 is a database held by the management server 5, and stores at least primary listing information including information on the primary exhibitor, details of the primary exhibited product (including product ID) and price information, and secondary listing information including secondary exhibitors and details of the secondary exhibited product (including product ID, information on past consumers, expiration date and remaining period of product warranty) and price information, and further stores, in this embodiment, information on the guarantee subject that directly or indirectly guarantees the product for the primary exhibited product that the primary exhibitor has distributed in primary distribution, authentication information on whether the guarantee subject is authenticated to directly or indirectly guarantee the product for the primary exhibited product, and the amount of "revenue share" (part of the purchase price allocated to the primary exhibitor) that has been generated for this product in the past. The guarantee subject may differ depending on the product, but in this embodiment, it is the manufacturer of the product.

[0031] In response to a request from the consumer terminal 3C, the display data transmission unit 25 transmits display data to the consumer terminal 3C for displaying at least the content and price information contained in the primary listing information and secondary listing information on the display screen 17C of the consumer terminal 3C.

[0032] The buying and selling transaction execution unit 27 executes buying and selling transactions of primary exhibited products or secondary exhibited products via the consumer terminal 3C.

[0033] After a sale of a primary exhibited product or a secondary exhibited product is concluded, the allocation execution unit 29 provides the primary exhibitor with information on the concluded sale and executes the necessary procedures to allocate a portion of the sale price of the secondary exhibited product to the primary exhibitor. In this embodiment, in particular, after a sale of a secondary exhibited product that is certified to have a product warranty is concluded, the allocation execution unit 29 executes the necessary procedures to allocate a portion of the sale price of the secondary exhibited product, called a "revenue share," to the primary exhibitor.

[0034] The authentication information transmitting unit 31 transmits the primary listing information of the primary listing product that has not been authenticated by the guarantor to the guarantor terminal 3D so that the guarantor can authenticate it. That is, since the primary listing product put up for sale by the primary seller in case 3 does not have the above-mentioned product warranty authentication attached at the time of putting up for sale, the authentication information transmitting unit 31 functions when the primary listing product is put up for sale by the primary seller in case 3. When the primary listing product is authenticated by the guarantor, the information registration unit 33 stores the authentication information in the information storage unit 21.

[0035] The reference price information providing unit 35 provides information on the reference price from the guarantee entity to the secondary seller. The reference price may be registered in advance by the guarantee entity, or the guarantee entity may register the reference price in response to an inquiry from the secondary seller.

[0036] <Flowchart> [Case 1 (When the primary seller is the product manufacturer)] The flow of primary listing and secondary listing in case 1 (when the primary seller is a product manufacturer) will be described using the flowcharts in Figures 2 and 3. In Figures 2 and 3, the performers are divided into rows for the primary seller, the operator of the product sales system 1, the consumer (purchaser) of the primary listed product (=secondary seller), and the consumer of the secondary listed product from the top, and each step to be executed is arranged.

[0037] First, the flow of primary listing will be described with reference to Fig. 2. The manufacturer of the product, who is the primary seller, registers the listing using the primary seller terminal 3A. Since the manufacturer is listing the product, product warranty authentication is also performed at this point (step ST001). When registering the listing, the primary seller uses the primary seller terminal 3A to input information that identifies the product and the product's condition, and also attaches photographs or the like, if necessary.

[0038] When the listing is registered, a product ID is assigned to identify the product, and the operator of the product sales system 1 checks whether the listing details are appropriate (step ST002), and if there are no problems, the product is displayed in the buying and selling market as a primary listing product, waiting for a demander (purchaser) to appear. At the same time, the operator issues an identifier IC, and the primary seller, upon receiving the identifier IC, affixes the identifier IC to the product (see FIG. 4).

[0039] When a consumer appears and offers to purchase a product (step ST003), the operator checks the purchase details and places an order with the primary seller (step ST004). The primary seller, who receives the order, checks the order details (step ST005) and takes steps to send the product (step ST006). When the product arrives, the consumer checks the product (step ST007), and if there is no problem with the product, he or she takes steps to pay the purchase price (step ST008). If there is any problem, the consumer takes steps to return the product (step ST009). When the payment procedure for the purchase price is completed, the operator checks the payment (step ST010), and if there is no problem with the amount, etc., he or she deducts a portion of the payment as a commission and then takes steps to pay the primary seller (step ST011). If there is a problem, the operator contacts the consumer so that the purchase price is correct and encourages payment (step ST012 → step ST008). When the primary seller checks the payment of the purchase price, the transaction of the primary exhibited product is completed (step ST013).

[0040] Next, the flow of secondary listing of the same product will be described with reference to FIG. 3. In this case, the secondary seller is the consumer (purchaser) of the primary listed product. The secondary seller uses the secondary seller terminal 3B to register the listing (step ST014). Since the product is provided with an identifier IC that was attached at the time of the primary listing, the secondary seller reads the identifier IC using the secondary seller terminal 3B as shown in FIG. 5(A), reads the product details from the information storage unit 21, and displays the product details on the display screen 17C. This provides almost all the information necessary for listing, so the secondary seller can easily list the product by simply setting the product condition and price (FIG. 5(B)). When determining the price of the product, the secondary seller may refer to the price presented by the reference price information provider 35.

[0041] When the listing is registered, the manager of the product sales system 1 checks whether the listing contents are appropriate (step ST015), and if there are no problems, the product is posted as a secondary listing product in the buying and selling market, waiting for a consumer to appear. When a consumer appears and offers to purchase the product (step ST016), the manager checks the purchase details and places an order with the secondary seller (step ST017). The secondary seller who receives the order checks the order details (step ST018) and takes steps to send the product (step ST019). When the product arrives, the consumer checks the product (step ST020), and if there are no problems with the product, he or she takes steps to pay the purchase price (step ST021), and if there are any problems, he or she takes steps to return the product (step ST022). When the payment procedure for the purchase price is completed, the manager checks the payment (step ST023), and if there are no problems with the amount, etc., he or she takes steps to pay the secondary seller after deducting a portion of the payment as a commission (step ST024). In this embodiment, at this time, a portion of the purchase price is also paid to the primary seller as a "revenue share." If there is a problem with the payment from the consumer, the consumer is contacted and prompted to make payment so that the purchase price is correct (step ST025 → step ST021). When the secondary seller confirms receipt of the purchase price and the primary seller confirms receipt of the revenue share, the transaction of the secondary exhibited item is completed (steps ST026 and ST027).

[0042] If a consumer of a secondary listing product relists the product, the secondary listing will again follow the flow of FIG. 3.

[0043] [Case 2 (When the primary seller is a sales agent for the product)] The flow of primary listing and secondary listing in case 2 (when the primary seller is a sales agent of the product) will be explained using the flowcharts in Figures 6 and 7. In case 2, the primary seller is a sales agent of the product, and in Figures 6 and 7, the performers are divided into rows from the top: manufacturer, primary seller, operator of product sales system 1, consumer (purchaser) of the primary listed product (= secondary seller), consumer (purchaser) of the secondary listed product, and each step to be executed is arranged.

[0044] In case 2, the primary seller is a sales agent of the product, and performs the primary listing at the request of the manufacturer. Since this is almost the same as case 1 except that the manufacturer and the primary seller are different, in Figures 6 and 7, the parts common to case 1 are represented as steps in the flowcharts of Figures 2 and 3 with 100 added, and the explanation thereof is omitted.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 7, in case 2, in the sale and purchase of secondary exhibited goods, the operator completes the payment procedure for the secondary exhibitor and pays a portion of the purchase price to the primary exhibitor (step ST124), and then the primary exhibitor, upon confirming the payment (step ST127-1), pays a portion of the payment to the manufacturer (guarantor) as a "revenue share" (step ST127-2). The primary exhibitor's share is determined by a contract between the primary exhibitor and the manufacturer.

[0046] In order to prevent the primary seller from forgetting to pay the revenue share, for example, when the operator confirms the payment in step ST123, the operator may also notify the manufacturer of the fact that the secondary listed product was sold and the sales report. In this way, the manufacturer can confirm the revenue share with the primary seller.

[0047] If a consumer of a secondary listing product relists the product, the secondary listing will again follow the flow of FIG.

[0048] [Case 3 (When the primary seller is a product seller)] The flow of primary listing and secondary listing in case 3 (when the primary seller is a sales agent of the product) will be explained using the flowcharts in Figures 8 and 9. In case 3, the primary seller is a sales business of the product, and in Figures 6 and 7, the performers are divided into rows from the top: manufacturer, primary seller, operator of the product sales system 1, consumer (purchaser) of the primary listed product (= secondary seller), consumer (purchaser) of the secondary listed product, and each step to be executed is arranged. In Figures 8 and 9, the parts common to case 1 are steps obtained by adding 200 to the steps in the flowcharts in Figures 2 and 3, and the parts common to case 2 are steps obtained by adding 100 to the steps in the flowcharts in Figures 6 and 7, and their explanations will be omitted.

[0049] In case 3, the primary exhibitor is a seller of the product and has no direct relationship with the manufacturer. Therefore, at the time of the primary exhibit, the product does not have a product warranty certification. Therefore, in case 3, when the exhibit is registered for the primary exhibit (step ST201), the fact of exhibiting is notified to the manufacturer for certification based on the information on the product manufacturer entered by the primary exhibitor, along with confirmation by the administrator (step ST202-1) (step ST202-2). If the certification is received, the administrator issues an identifier IC, and the same process is followed (as in case 2, the manufacturer can receive a revenue share in the case of secondary exhibit (step ST227-2)). If the certification is not received, the manufacturer does not have the right to receive a revenue share, but does not have a direct obligation to provide a product warranty under this system.

[0050] If a consumer of a secondary listing product relists the product, the secondary listing will again follow the flow of FIG.

[0051] 〔others〕 In all cases 1 to 3, if you are trying to secondary list a product whose warranty has expired or whose IC identifier has been lost, destroyed or damaged, you cannot secondary list the product using this system. Therefore, in such cases, you will need to primary list the product again in accordance with Case 3.

[0052] When a consumer (purchaser) wishes to receive a guarantee from a guaranteeing entity for a product, the consumer (purchaser) can learn the contact information of the guaranteeing entity by reading the identifier IC attached to the product using the consumer terminal 3C.

[0053] The above-described embodiment has been described as an example, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment unless it deviates from the gist of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0054] According to the present invention, after a sale and purchase transaction of a secondary listed product is completed, information of the completed sale and purchase transaction is provided to the primary seller, thereby informing the primary seller of the existence of the secondary listed product and distributing a portion of the purchase price to the primary seller, thereby providing a product sales system, a product sales method, and a product sales computer program that can suppress a decline in the primary seller's motivation to provide services for secondary listed products.
