[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] Furthermore, the display unit 134 causes the select shop terminal 30 to display a search screen, an application screen, a result screen, a setting screen, etc., which will be described later. The search screen is a screen on which the second user searches for products he or she wishes to handle. The application screen is a screen on which the second user wishes to apply for permission for the products he or she wishes to handle. The result screen is a screen on which the second user's application is displayed as to whether or not it has been approved. The setting screen is a screen on which the second user wishes to set 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 electronic commerce screen or the like for the purchaser to purchase a product on the electronic 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, the search unit 135 uses the search query to search for products in the product DB 122. Then, the search unit 135 transmits the searched product 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, the 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 at the electronic commerce site of the second user, and the product information.

[0070] Specifically, the extraction unit 136 uses the handling information to extract the tendency of products on the electronic commerce site of the second user. The handling information is obtained by referring to the application product DB 123 for the second user, and at least any of 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 on sale. The extraction unit 136 refers to the product DB 122 from the product ID in the handling information to obtain information such as product information, category, and shop ID. The extraction unit 136 extracts the tendency of products of the second user from the obtained product information, category, and shop ID. The tendency of products is, for example, information that combines a product category that is frequently handled, a shop that is frequently handled by a seller, the size of a product 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 the 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 are often purchased on other e-commerce sites by purchasers who have purchased products on the e-commerce site of the second user, and the like. The extraction unit 136 may then 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 for the product applied for by the operation of the second user from the first user, and makes the product available for sale on the electronic 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. The permission unit 137 accepts the selection of a product on an application screen displayed on the select shop terminal 30 by a search on the above-mentioned search screen, for example. 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 of the second user and the product information of the product selected by the second user. More specifically, the permission unit 137 acquires the information of the second user (shop name, owner, shop information, handling category, etc.) from the shop DB 121 based on the shop ID of the second user. Then, the permission unit 137 notifies the brand shop terminal 20 of the information of the second user and the information of the selected product. The information of the second user and the information of the selected product are notified, for example, by causing the above-mentioned permission screen to be displayed on the brand shop terminal 20.

[0076] The permission unit 137 receives a notification from the brand shop terminal 20 that the first user is permitted to sell the product selected by the first user's operation, or that the sale is not permitted. More specifically, the permission unit 137 receives the result of the judgment made by the first user as to whether or not to permit the second user to sell the product requested. Upon receiving the judgment result, the permission unit 137 stores the judgment result in the requested product DB 123. The permission unit 137 also notifies the second user of the judgment result. The judgment result is displayed on the select shop terminal 30, for example, by the above-mentioned result screen. The permission unit 137 may notify the select shop terminal 30 of the judgment result by a method such as email. In this case, a link for displaying the result screen may be included in the email.

[0077] If the decision result is not permitted, 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 rejected product, eliminating the need for the second user to search again. In this case, the extraction unit 136 may extract products that are the same as or similar to the category, price, size, etc. of the applied product as recommended products.

[0078] The setting unit 138 makes the product permitted for sale to the second user available for sale on the second user's electronic commerce site.

[0079] Specifically, the setting unit 138 accepts a selection of products to be handled on the second user's e-commerce site from the select shop terminal 30 through an operation by the second user. The permission unit 137 sets the selected product as 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 the product with the on sale status is displayed. This allows the second user to operate an online select shop.

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

[0081] Specifically, when the purchaser terminal 40 accesses the electronic commerce site of the second user, the purchase processing unit 139 displays the electronic commerce site of the second user. At this time, the purchase processing unit 139 refers to the shop ID of the second user in the applied product DB 123, and enables the second user 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 electronic commerce site of the second user. The purchase processing unit 139 performs payment processing for the purchase of the product using a 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 on the purchaser obtained by referring to the purchaser DB 125.

[0083] The purchase processing unit 139 receives shipping information related to the shipping of the product according to the order information from the brand shop terminal 20. The purchase processing unit 139 updates the inventory quantity of the product according to the shipping information. In addition, the purchase processing unit 139 notifies the purchaser terminal 40 and the select shop terminal 30 of the shipping information.

[0084] Here, when the stock of the product is exhausted (for example, when the stock becomes 0), the purchase processing unit 139 displays the fact 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 so that the product cannot be purchased. In this case, the display unit 134 displays the page by, for example, deactivating the purchase button.

[0085] In addition, 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. In addition, the purchase processing unit 139 may transfer the amount collectively at a fixed timing such as monthly processing.

[0180] <2. Modifications> Although several embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, these embodiments can be implemented 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 within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as described in the claims, as well as the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0181] (Automated Authorization) 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, the permission may be automatically granted.

[0182] In this case, the storage unit 120 stores the conditions for permission given by the first user. In response to receiving a selection of a product, the permission unit 137 uses the information of the first user and the conditions to determine whether the conditions are met. The conditions may be, for example, the SNS 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 may be stored in the shop information of the shop DB 121, for example.

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

[0184] The permission unit 137 may be configured to request permission from the brand shop terminal 20 when 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 give permission retroactively, 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, a 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 satisfied.

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

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

[0188] The extraction unit 136 may extract recommended products using a method other than the method disclosed in the above embodiment. For example, the extraction unit 136 may be configured to extract, as recommended products, products with a certain number of favorites or more in a product category that the second user wants to check, among products whose registration date is newer than a predetermined number of days. 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] Also, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which, among products whose registration date is newer than a predetermined number of days, products that include a specific character string are extracted as recommended products. The specific character string may be, for example, a keyword preset by the second user, a trending keyword, or the like.

[0190] (others) In the above embodiment, the purchase process is performed by the information processing device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the purchase process may be performed by a server used in an electronic commerce site prepared by the second user. In this case, the necessary data may be stored in 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 be configured to access the brand shop terminal 20 to search for products, obtain product information, and so on. Since the first users often manage their own stock of products, the information processing device 10 can appropriately manage stock information between the second user and the select shop by accessing and managing the brand shop terminal 20 each time. In this case, the brand shop terminal 20 will update the stock quantity.
