[0035] [Embodiment 1] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the transaction support device 10 of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the device 10 includes an acquisition unit 11, a generation unit 12, a display unit 13, and a transaction processing unit 14. The device 10 may also include, as an optional configuration, a plan creation unit 15, a registration unit 16, an analysis unit 17, etc. The device 10 can also be described as a device that provides a platform for generating e-commerce sites for tourism promoters, as described later.

[0036] The device 10 may be, for example, a single device including the aforementioned parts, or it may be a device in which the aforementioned parts can be connected via a communication network. The aforementioned parts may be interconnected by, for example, an internal bus.

[0037] Furthermore, the device 10 can be connected to external devices, which will be described later, via the communication network. The communication network is not particularly limited and can use any known network, such as a wired or wireless network. Examples of the communication network include the Internet, WWW (World Wide Web), telephone lines, LAN (Local Area Network), SAN (Storage Area Network), DTN (Delay Tolerant Networking), LPWA (Low Power Wide Area), L5G (Local 5G), etc. Examples of wireless communication include Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Local 5G, LPWA, etc. The wireless communication may be in the form of direct communication between devices (Ad Hoc communication), infrastructure communication, indirect communication via an access point, etc.

[0038] The device 10 may, for example, be incorporated into a server as a system. Alternatively, the device 10 may be, for example, a personal computer (PC, e.g., desktop or notebook), smartphone, tablet terminal, wearable terminal, etc., on which the program of the present invention or an application containing the program of the present invention is installed. The device 10 can realize the functions of each of the above parts by, for example, an application (such as the program of the present invention) loaded onto the main memory. Furthermore, all or part of each of the parts of the device 10 may be implemented on a server. The device 10 may also take the form of cloud computing or edge computing.

[0039] Figure 2 illustrates a block diagram of the hardware configuration of the device 10. The device 10 may include, for example, a central processing unit (CPU, GPU, etc.) 101, memory 102, bus 103, storage device 104, input device 105, output device 106, and communication device 107. These are examples only, and the hardware configuration of the device 10 is not limited to these, as long as each of the above parts can perform its respective processing. Furthermore, the number of central processing units 101 etc. included in the device 10 is not limited to the example in Figure 2; for example, multiple central processing units 101 may be included in the device 10. Each part of the hardware configuration of the device 10 is interconnected via the bus 103 through its respective interface (I / F).

[0040] The central processing unit 101 is responsible for the overall control of the device 10. In the device 10, the central processing unit 101 executes, for example, the program of the present invention and other programs, and also reads and writes various types of information. The central processing unit 101 functions, for example, as an acquisition unit 11, a generation unit 12, a display unit 13, a transaction processing unit 14, a plan creation unit 15, a registration unit 16, and an analysis unit 17.

[0041] Bus 103 can also be connected to external devices, for example. Examples of such external devices include external storage devices (external databases, etc.), external input devices, external output devices, and so on. The device 10 can be connected to an external network (the aforementioned communication network) by a communication device 107 connected to bus 103, for example, and can also be connected to other devices via the external network.

[0042] Memory 102 may be, for example, main memory. When the central processing unit 101 performs processing, memory 102 reads various operational programs, such as the program of the present invention, stored in the storage device 104 (described later), and the central processing unit 101 receives data from memory 102 and executes the program. The main memory may be, for example, RAM (random access memory). Alternatively, memory 102 may be, for example, ROM (read-only memory).

[0043] The storage device 104 is also called an auxiliary storage device, for example, in relation to the main memory (primary memory). As described above, the storage device 104 stores an operating program including the program of the present invention. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive for reading and writing to the recording medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and may be internal or external, for example, an HD (hard disk), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, MO, DVD, flash memory, memory card, etc. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) in which the recording medium and the drive are integrated, or a solid state drive (SSD).

[0044] In this device 10, the memory 102 and storage device 104 can also store various types of information, such as log information, information obtained from an external database (not shown) or external devices, information generated by each process of this device 10, and information used by this device 10 when executing each process. At least some of this information may be stored, for example, on an external server other than the memory 102 and storage device 104, or it may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple terminals using blockchain technology or the like.

[0045] The device 10 may further include, for example, a user interface such as an input device 105 and an output device 106. The input device 105 is a device for inputting, for example, characters, numbers, the position of objects displayed on the screen, images, sounds, etc. Specifically, examples include a digitizer (touch panel, etc.), keyboard, mouse, scanner, imaging device, microphone, sensor, etc. The output device 106 is a display device (LED display, liquid crystal display), printer, speaker, etc. The input device 105 and the output device 106 may also be a user interface such as a touch panel that combines them.

[0046] Next, an example of the transaction support method of this embodiment will be described based on the flowcharts in Figures 3A to 3D. The transaction support method of this embodiment is implemented, for example, using the transaction support device 10 in Figure 1, as follows. Note that the transaction support method of this embodiment is not limited to the use of the transaction support device 10 in Figure 1.

[0047] In the transaction support method of this embodiment, the process performed by the acquisition unit 11 is the acquisition process, the process performed by the generation unit 12 is the generation process, the process performed by the display unit 13 is the display process, the process performed by the transaction processing unit 14 is the transaction processing process, the process performed by the plan creation unit 15 is the plan creation process, the process performed by the registration unit 16 is the registration process, and the process performed by the analysis unit 17 is the analysis process.

[0048] First, the acquisition unit 11 acquires tourist destination information that can identify tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the tourism promoter, and transaction item information relating to the transaction item (S11). The tourism promoter is not particularly limited, but for example, it may be an organization or individual responsible for promoting tourism in a specific tourist destination according to the administrative jurisdiction, such as a tourism association, a department in a local government (city, town, village, prefecture, etc.), etc. The tourist destination information includes, for example, information about the tourism promoter (name of the tourism association, etc.), the name of the tourist destination, and location information of the tourist destination. The transaction item is at least one of goods and services related to the tourist destination (hereinafter also referred to as goods, etc.). The transaction item information includes, for example, an identifier for the transaction item, descriptive information explaining the transaction item, schedule information (shipping date, execution date, etc.), price information, number of slots information (number of reservation slots, number of available slots, etc.), number of people information (remaining number of people who can be traded, maximum number of people to operate, minimum number of people to operate), and location information indicating the place where the transaction item is provided. The location information in the tourist destination information and the location information in the transaction item information are not particularly limited, but may include, for example, an address, postal code, or coordinates. The descriptive information may include, for example, a video. By using the video to explain the transaction item, for example, the appeal of the transaction item can be explained more effectively.

[0049] The transaction support method of this embodiment only requires that the tourist destination information be acquired at least before the execution of the generation unit 12 described later. The timing of acquiring the transaction target information is not particularly limited and may, for example, be performed after the execution of the generation unit 12 described later. Furthermore, the acquisition of the transaction target information may be performed multiple times, for example. The tourist destination information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the tourism promoter. The transaction target information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the tourism promoter and the terminal of the provider (also called a business operator) that provides the transaction target. The acquisition unit 11 may, for example, acquire provider information, which is information about the provider, before acquiring the transaction target information from the provider. The registration unit 15 described later may register the provider information in a storage area. The acquisition unit 11 may then acquire the transaction target information from the provider corresponding to the registered provider information.

[0050] Next, the generation unit 12 generates an e-commerce (EC) site unique to each tourist destination based on the tourist destination information (S12). The EC site is a site that displays the items to be traded. The EC site is, for example, an EC site for the tourism promoter, and each provider has their own page within the EC site. Specifically, the generation unit 12 generates the EC site by linking it to the location information of the tourist destination. This ensures that, for example, one EC site is generated for each tourist destination. Unless otherwise specified, known methods can be used for generating the EC sites.

[0051] If an e-commerce site has already been created for the tourist destination indicated by the tourist destination information, the generation unit 12 may, for example, link the already created e-commerce site with the newly acquired tourist destination information. On the other hand, if an e-commerce site has already been created for the tourist destination indicated by the tourist destination information, the generation unit 12 may, for example, notify the terminal that transmitted the tourist destination information to this device 10 (the transmitting terminal) that an e-commerce site has already been created. The transmitting terminal is, for example, the terminal of the tourism promoter.

[0052] Next, the display unit 13 displays the transaction information for the tourist destination on the e-commerce site (S13). The e-commerce site displays, for example, the transaction information from multiple providers. In addition, multiple transaction information may be displayed on the e-commerce site. The display unit 13 may display, for example, all the information included in the transaction information, or only some of the information. The display unit 13 may display, for example, the location information of the transaction information on the e-commerce site. The location information may be displayed, for example, as text data or on a map.

[0053] Then, the transaction processing unit 14 executes transaction processing related to the transaction subject in response to a request from the user (S14), and terminates (END). The user is, for example, a user who wishes to make a transaction for the transaction subject (which may also be a tourist, a buyer, or a person who has made a reservation). The user accesses the EC site using, for example, their terminal (user terminal) and makes the request. The transaction processing unit 14 generates transaction information by executing the transaction processing. The transaction information is, for example, information related to the transaction subject. The transaction information may include, for example, whether the transaction was completed, the content of the transaction, reservation information and buy / sell information as described later. Unless otherwise specified, known methods can be used for the content of the transaction processing.

[0054] If the device 10 further includes a registration unit 16, as shown in Figure 3B, the registration unit 15 registers the transaction information in a storage area (S15). The storage area is not particularly limited and may be a storage device 104 or an external database. The storage area can also register transaction information (for example, reservation information described later) received from other devices (for example, the terminal of the tourism promoter or the terminal of the provider). The registration unit 15 allows for the automatic registration of the transaction information, thereby reducing the burden on the tourism promoter and the provider.

[0055] The acquisition unit 11 may, for example, further acquire remaining information regarding at least one of the remaining number of slots and the number of people for which the transaction target can be traded. The timing of acquiring the remaining information may be anytime after the creation of the EC site (S12), and may be performed multiple times. The remaining information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the tourism promoter and the terminal of the provider. The remaining information may be, for example, information that shows the remaining number with a specific numerical value (e.g., "5 people remaining"), or information that shows a numerical value to be added to or subtracted from at least one of the information on the number of slots and the number of people (also called the number of people that can be traded) displayed on the EC site (e.g., "-1 person", "+3 people"). On the other hand, the information on the number of slots and the number of people included in the transaction target information can also be called initial values, for example.

[0056] When the remaining quantity information is obtained, the display unit 13 may, for example, adjust the display of at least one of the information regarding the number of slots and the number of people on the EC site according to the remaining quantity information. Specifically, for example, the number of available transactions may increase or decrease based on the remaining quantity information. The display unit 13 may also, for example, adjust the display of the information regarding the number of available transactions on the EC site according to the execution of the transaction process. Specifically, for example, if a transaction is completed through the transaction process, the number of slots and the number of people corresponding to the transaction may be reduced. The information regarding the number of available transactions may also be displayed on the EC site on a daily or hourly basis.

[0057] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, configuration information relating to the settings of the e-commerce site. This configuration information may include, for example, information relating to the settings of the user interface (for example, the design of the e-commerce site). The timing of acquiring the configuration information is not particularly limited and may be performed, for example, before the generation of the e-commerce site or after the generation of the e-commerce site. The acquisition of the configuration information may be performed multiple times, for example. The configuration information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the tourism promoter. When the configuration information is acquired, the generation unit 12 generates the e-commerce site or changes the settings of the e-commerce site (user interface, etc.) according to the configuration information.

[0058] The generation unit 12 may, for example, provide material information relating to the user interface of the e-commerce site. In this case, the setting information acquired by the acquisition unit 11 may include, for example, information that can identify the material information. The information that can identify the material information may be, for example, the material information itself, or identification information of the material information, etc.

[0059] The transaction processing unit 14 may, for example, perform at least one of the following as transaction processing: when it receives a reservation request from a user, it performs reservation processing for the reservation of at least one of the goods and services; and when it receives a purchase request from the user, it performs settlement processing for the buying and selling of at least one of the goods and services. The transaction processing unit 14 may also, for example, perform settlement processing after the reservation processing if the reservation is confirmed by the reservation processing, or if at least one of the goods and services is used.

[0060] The reservation process determines, for example, whether to confirm the reservation in response to the reservation request. Specifically, for example, the transaction processing unit 14 determines whether the transaction target is available for reservation based on, for example, the reservation request, the transaction target information, and the remaining number information. If it is available for reservation, the transaction processing unit 14 generates reservation information. More specifically, for example, if the reservation request concerns a reservation for two people, and the remaining number of people who can reserve the transaction target is two or more, it is determined that the reservation is available (reservation confirmed). On the other hand, if the reservation request concerns a reservation for two people, and the remaining number of people who can reserve the transaction target is less than two, it is determined that the reservation is not available. The reservation information includes, for example, information about the confirmed reservation, such as the number of people, date and time, and the transaction target being reserved. The reservation information may be transmitted, for example, to the user terminal, the provider's terminal, the tourism promoter's terminal, etc. On the other hand, if the reservation is not confirmed (if it is determined that the reservation is not available), for example, the reservation information may not be generated, and the user terminal may be notified that the reservation is not available.

[0061] The transaction processing unit 14 may, for example, perform the settlement processing after the reservation processing if the reservation is confirmed by the reservation processing, or if at least one of the goods and services is used. The transaction processing unit 14 may, for example, generate sales information relating to the content of the settlement processing through the settlement processing. The sales information includes, for example, information indicating whether a sale has been concluded, an identifier of the traded items, the number of traded items, the settlement method, the settlement amount, etc. The sales information may be transmitted, for example, to the user terminal, the provider's terminal, the tourism promoter's terminal, etc. The settlement method may include, for example, cash, electronic money, and virtual currency. Unless otherwise specified, publicly known methods may be used for the content of the settlement processing. If the traded item information includes the fee information, the transaction processing unit 14 may, for example, request payment of the fee from the user through the settlement processing. If the traded item information does not include the fee information, the transaction processing unit 14 may, for example, request the setting of the fee from the tourism promoter and the provider through the settlement processing.

[0062] The transaction processing unit 14 may determine that the service subject to the transaction has been used, for example, when it receives a signal from the provider's terminal indicating that the service subject to the transaction has been used. Alternatively, the transaction processing unit 14 may determine this based on, for example, the date and time of the reservation (the day on which the service subject to the transaction will be used). Specifically, for example, if the user reserves February 1st as the date for using the service subject to the transaction, and that reservation is confirmed, the settlement process will be executed on February 1st.

[0063] According to the transaction processing unit 14, for example, it is possible to support the entire process from reservation to settlement of the transaction target.

[0064] As mentioned above, the device 10 may further include, for example, a plan creation unit 15. An example of a transaction support method in this case is shown in Figure 3C. Unless otherwise specified, the above description can be applied to Figure 3C. Also, although step S15 is not shown in Figure 3C, step S15 may be performed in the same manner as described above.

[0065] The plan creation unit 15 receives input from a plan creator who has accessed the e-commerce site and creates a sightseeing plan by combining multiple pieces of transaction information displayed on the e-commerce site (S16). The processing by the plan creation unit 15 may be executed at any time after the e-commerce site has been generated. The plan creator is not particularly limited and may be a user, a tourism promoter, a provider, or any other third party. The plan creator may, for example, access the e-commerce site and make various inputs on the e-commerce site. The input may be made by the input device 105 or by an external input device. The way in which the transaction information is combined is not particularly limited. The sightseeing plan is displayed on the e-commerce site by, for example, the display unit 13. By enabling the creation of sightseeing plans, for example, if the plan creator is a user, a sightseeing plan suited to the user's preferences can be created. Also, if the plan creator is a tourism promoter or a provider, for example, a sightseeing plan recommended to the user can be created and displayed on the e-commerce site. By enabling the aforementioned combinations, users can enjoy the same tourist destination without getting bored, depending on the combination they choose. Furthermore, enabling the aforementioned combinations can promote transactions of the aforementioned trading targets. In addition, by promoting transactions of the aforementioned trading targets, tourism promoters and providers can be encouraged to discover and develop the aforementioned trading targets, thereby increasing the variety of the aforementioned trading targets.

[0066] As mentioned above, the apparatus 10 may further include, for example, an analysis unit 17. An example of a transaction support method in this case is shown in Figure 3D. Unless otherwise specified, the above description can be applied to Figure 3D. Also, although steps S15 and S16 are not shown in Figure 3D, steps S15 and S16 may be performed in the same manner as described above.

[0067] The analysis unit 17 analyzes information regarding the user terminal's access to the e-commerce site (S17). The timing of the analysis is not particularly limited and may be performed at any time after the e-commerce site has been created.

[0068] The access analysis performed by the analysis unit 17 will now be explained in detail. When performing processing by the analysis unit 17, first, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire status information, for example, regarding the status of the user terminal accessing the EC site. The status information includes, for example, identification information that can identify the user terminal, location information of the user terminal, browser information regarding the browser used by the user terminal for the access, the time each page on the EC site is displayed on the screen, the transaction target for which the transaction was executed, etc. The analysis unit 17 uses the status information to analyze the relationship between the status and the transaction target for which the transaction processing was executed based on the request issued by the user terminal. As a result, the analysis unit 17 can estimate, for example, the transaction target for which the transaction processing is highly likely to be executed based on the relationship.

[0069] The analysis unit 17 may, for example, analyze the appropriate price of the traded item based on transaction history for any arbitrary period. The display unit 13 then displays the price as the price information of the traded item on the e-commerce site. The period is not particularly limited and can be, for example, every day of the week, every week, every month, every year, etc. The transaction history can be obtained, for example, from the results of the transaction processing by the transaction processing unit 14. Specifically, for example, if the traded item is related to summer (for example, a tour with a diving experience), summer (for example, August) is a busier season than winter (for example, January), so the price of the traded item in summer can be set differently from the price of the traded item in winter. Whether to set the price of the traded item higher or lower than the price of the comparison item can be arbitrarily set by, for example, the tourism promoter or the provider. The analysis unit 17 may also, for example, analyze the appropriate price of the traded item based on the number of traded items (which can also be called the inventory) of the traded item. The number of tradable units mentioned above may be, for example, the number of tradable units per day, or the number of tradable units over the entire period. Specifically, for example, suppose the number of tradable units on a given day is 5, and 2 have been traded by noon. In this case, the analysis unit 17 may, for example, use the analysis to set the price of the tradable unit in the afternoon of that day to be different from the price of the tradable unit in the morning of that day. If the objective is to sell off the tradable unit, for example, the price of the tradable unit in the afternoon of that day may be set lower than the price of the tradable unit in the morning of that day. Furthermore, the analysis unit 17 may, for example, analyze the appropriate price of the tradable unit based on another tradable unit (let's call it tradable unit B) that is similar to the tradable unit (let's call it tradable unit A). Other transaction targets include, for example, transaction target B whose location is within a certain range (for example, within a radius of 3 kilometers; within the same town or area; etc.) of the location where transaction target A is provided (for example, the location of an event); transaction target B provided on the same day as transaction target A; transaction target B whose required time differs from that of transaction target A within a certain range; transaction target B having the same or similar category as transaction target A, etc. The aforementioned categories may, for example, be included in the transaction target information.Specifically, for example, the analysis described above allows the price of item A to be set so that the difference between the price of item A and the price of item B falls within a certain range (e.g., 0 to 3000 yen). This certain range can be arbitrarily set by, for example, the tourism promoter or the provider. In this way, by analyzing the appropriate price of the items being traded, flexible pricing becomes possible.

[0070] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, route information. The route information is, for example, information indicating the route taken to access the e-commerce site. Specifically, it is information that can identify websites such as search engines, homepages, and SNS (Social Networking Service) that were used to access the e-commerce site. The analysis unit 17 uses, for example, the route information to analyze the relationship between the websites and at least one of the access to the e-commerce site and the transaction target on which the transaction processing was executed based on the request issued by the user terminal. As a result, the analysis unit 17 can estimate, for example, websites that promote access to the e-commerce site and transactions on the transaction target. According to this estimation, for example, websites that should be actively used to advertise the e-commerce site can be identified, enabling efficient advertising.

[0071] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, keyword information. The keyword information is, for example, information about keywords used to access the e-commerce site. The analysis unit 17 uses the keyword information to analyze the relationship between the keywords and at least one of the access to the e-commerce site and the transaction items for which the transaction processing was executed based on a request issued by the user terminal. Specifically, the analysis unit 17 can analyze, for example, what keywords the user uses to search the internet, which keywords lead to access to the e-commerce site, and which keywords lead to requests for transactions related to the transaction items. As a result, the analysis unit 17 can estimate, for example, keywords that promote access to the e-commerce site and transactions related to the transaction items. Based on this estimation, for example, it is possible to understand what the user is interested in and to improve the quality of the e-commerce site and the transaction items.

[0072] The analysis results from the analysis unit 17 may be output to, for example, the terminal of the tourism promoter or the terminal of the provider. The analysis results may be output in a format that can be edited with, for example, spreadsheet software. This allows, for example, the tourism promoter or the provider to integrate and aggregate the analysis results with other data, thereby improving the handling and convenience of the data.

[0073] According to this embodiment, by generating a unique e-commerce site for each tourist destination, displaying the transaction target information on the e-commerce site, and executing the transaction process, the degree of freedom in selecting the transaction target can be improved, and transactions related to the transaction target can be supported. In other words, according to this embodiment, a platform for generating the e-commerce site can be provided. In other words, according to this embodiment, a platform for generating the e-commerce site can be provided to the tourism promoter and the provider.

[0074] Without using the present invention, when conducting transactions involving the aforementioned items, users individually access the websites of each provider (which can also be called a business) offering the items, search for and obtain various information, compare and examine each item and provider, and then conduct transactions (such as reservations or purchases). Thus, without using the present invention, it takes time and effort for users to conduct transactions involving their desired items. In contrast, with the present invention, since the items offered by each provider in a specific tourist destination can be displayed on a single e-commerce site, the time and effort required for users to conduct transactions involving their desired items can be reduced.

[0075] [Embodiment 2] A trading system including the trading support device 10 described in Embodiment 1 will be described below.

[0076] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the trading system 100 of this embodiment. The trading system 100 can also be called, for example, a trading system device. As shown in Figure 4, the system 100 includes the trading support device 10 described in Embodiment 1, a user terminal 20, and a tourism promoter terminal 30. The system 100 may also include, as an optional configuration, a provider terminal 40 and a guide matching support device 50, etc. In Figure 4, the number of user terminals 20, etc. is illustrative and not limited to this, and there may be multiple terminals, for example. The direction of the arrows in Figure 4 indicates the direction of the flow of various types of information, but this is just an example and not limited to this.

[0077] User terminal 20 is the terminal of the user (which can also be called a tourist, etc.). Tourism promoter terminal 30 is the terminal of the tourism promoter. Provider terminal 40 is the terminal of the provider. Each of the above terminals is not particularly limited and may be, for example, a PC, smartphone, tablet, wearable device, etc. In Figure 4, the tourism association of town A is used as an example of the tourism promoter, and the e-commerce site 10a generated by the generation unit 12 of the transaction support device 10 is shown as an e-commerce site specific to town A.

[0078] The transaction support device 10 can communicate with the tourism promoter terminal 30 and the provider terminal 40, for example, via the communication network. The tourism promoter terminal 30 can also communicate with the guide matching support device 50, for example, via the communication network. The user terminal 20 can access the e-commerce site 10a generated by the transaction support device 10.

[0079] The tourism promoter terminal 30 transmits the tourist destination information to the transaction support device 10. The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 acquires the tourist destination information from the tourism promoter terminal 30. Then, the generation unit 12 generates the e-commerce site 10a.

[0080] The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 acquires the transaction target information from, for example, at least one of the tourism promoter terminal 30 and the provider terminal 40. The display unit 13 then displays the transaction target information on the e-commerce site 10a. This series of processes can also be called, for example, "product (service) registration".

[0081] The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 may acquire the remaining quantity information from, for example, at least one of the tourism promoter terminal 30 and the provider terminal 40. The display unit 13 may then adjust the display of the number of available transactions on the e-commerce site 10a according to the remaining quantity information. This series of processes can also be called, for example, "inventory adjustment".

[0082] The user accesses the e-commerce site 10a via the tourism association's homepage, for example, using the user terminal 20. The user then uses the user terminal 20 to operate the e-commerce site 10a and makes a request to the transaction support device 10 for a specific transaction. When the transaction processing unit 14 of the transaction support device 10 receives the request from the user terminal 20, it executes transaction processing related to the transaction. The transaction information generated by the transaction processing is output to, for example, the tourism promoter terminal 30 and the provider terminal 40, so that the tourism association and each provider can confirm the contents of the transaction information.

[0083] The tourism promoter may, for example, accept requests for the transactions of the subject of the transaction by means other than the e-commerce site 10a. Examples of methods other than the e-commerce site 10a include telephone, fax, e-commerce sites provided by OTAs (Online Travel Agents) or DMOs (Destination Management Organizations), etc. The tourism promoter may, for example, accept the requests directly from the users by means other than the e-commerce site 10a, or accept the requests indirectly from the users through the OTAs or DMOs. When the tourism promoter accepts the requests by means other than the e-commerce site 10a, the tourism promoter may, for example, input the requests into the tourism promoter terminal 30. The tourism promoter terminal 30 may, for example, output the requests to the transaction support device 10. The transaction processing unit 14 of the transaction support device 10 may accept the requests and execute the transaction processing as described above. On the other hand, the tourism promoter terminal 30 may, for example, execute the same transaction processing as the transaction processing unit 14 when it accepts the requests. The transaction information generated by the tourism promoter terminal 30 may be registered in the storage area. The aforementioned storage area is the same as described above and may be the same as the storage area for storing transaction information generated by the transaction processing unit 14. That is, the storage area can store, for example, transaction information generated by the transaction processing unit 14 and transaction information generated by the tourism promoter terminal 30.

[0084] The e-commerce site 10a is operated, for example, by the tourism promoter. Furthermore, the pages for each provider on the e-commerce site 10a are managed, for example, by the providers. The platform provider 10b, which provides a platform for generating e-commerce sites 10a to c using the device 10, may, for example, support the operation and management of e-commerce sites 10a to c by the tourism promoter and the providers.

[0085] The guide matching support device 50 is a device that assists in matching the user with the guide 50a of the tourist tour that is the subject of the transaction. For example, known technology can be used as the guide matching support device 50. Specifically, for example, technology described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-145447, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-186742, etc. can be used. The guide matching support device 50 performs the matching, for example, based on instructions from the tourism promoter terminal 30. The tourism promoter terminal 30 may, for example, automatically output the transaction information to the guide matching support device 50. The guide matching support device 50 may, for example, automatically register the transaction information in a storage area.

[0086] Various databases relating to this system 100 will be described below. Note that these are examples only and are not limited thereto. This system 100 may, for example, include the aforementioned databases. Hereafter, a database can be interpreted as, for example, a storage area, and may be implemented by a storage device.

[0087] The acquisition unit 11 may, for example, store the acquired transaction information in a content information database. The display unit 13 may, for example, refer to the content information database and display the transaction information regarding the transaction items that are currently on sale or accepting reservations on the e-commerce site 10a.

[0088] The transaction information generated by the transaction processing unit 14 is stored, for example, in a transaction information database. The transaction information includes, for example, information that may be included in the request, the reservation information, and the buy / sell information. Specifically, in addition to the various types of information mentioned above, it may include information such as the transaction item reserved or purchased by the user, the language used, the number of people, the amount, and personal information (such as the user's contact information). When the transaction processing unit 14 generates the transaction information, for example, it stores the transaction information in the transaction information database.

[0089] Examples of databases related to the analysis performed by the analysis unit 17 include a database for storing the status information, a database for storing the route information, and a database for storing the keyword information.

[0090] Databases related to the guide matching support device 50 include, for example, an order information database, a guide information database, and a report database. The order information database stores information about the ordered transaction, such as the date, number of people, language used, type of transaction, role required of the guide, and wages. The guide information database stores, for example, guide information about guide 50a. The guide information includes, for example, the languages ​​the guide can speak, the number of people the guide can speak, the party composition of the users the guide can assist (presence or absence of children, family, friends, couple, etc.), the gender of the users the guide can assist, the routes the guide can guide, information the guide can provide (guide's whereabouts, etc.), and guide request information including the conditions the guide desires (user's language, gender, user's party composition, user's accommodation, guided route, etc.). The report database stores, for example, reports from guide 50a.

[0091] The various types of information stored in each database may be output to, for example, the terminal of the tourism promoter or the terminal of the provider. The various types of information may be output in a format that can be edited with, for example, spreadsheet software. This allows, for example, the tourism promoter or the provider to integrate and aggregate the various types of information with other data, thereby improving the handling and convenience of the data.

[0092] According to this embodiment, similar to the invention of Embodiment 1, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom regarding the selection of the object of trade and to support transactions related to the object of trade.

[0093] [Embodiment 3] The program of this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to execute each step of the method of the present invention as a procedure. In the present invention, "procedure" may be read as "process". The program of this embodiment may be, for example, a program that is added in to existing software.
