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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] First, the acquisition unit 11 acquires first tourist destination information that can identify tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter, second tourist destination information that can identify tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the second tourism promoter, and transaction item information relating to the transaction item (S11). The first 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, and specifically, examples include a tourism association, a department in a local government (city, town, village, prefecture, etc.), etc. The second tourism promoter may be an organization or individual responsible for promoting tourism in multiple tourist destinations across the aforementioned jurisdiction, and specifically, examples include a DMO (Destination Management Organization), an OTA (Online Travel Agent), etc. In other words, the tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the second tourism promoter may include multiple tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter. The first tourist destination information includes, for example, information about the first tourism promoter (name of the tourism association, etc.), the name of the tourist destination, location information of the tourist destination, etc. The second tourist destination information includes, for example, information about the second tourism promoter (such as the name of the DMO), the name of the tourist destination, and the location information of the tourist destination. The second tourist destination information may also include, for example, information about the first tourism promoter that has jurisdiction over the tourist destination (such as the name of the tourism association). The transaction subject is at least one of the goods and services related to the tourist destination (hereinafter also referred to as goods, etc.). The transaction subject information includes, for example, an identifier for the transaction subject, descriptive information describing the transaction subject, schedule information (such as the shipping date and execution date), price information, number of slots information (such as the number of reservation slots and the number of available slots), number of people information (the remaining number of people who can be traded, the maximum number of people required, the minimum number of people required), and location information indicating the place where the transaction subject is provided. The location information in the first tourist destination information and the second tourist destination information, and the location information in the transaction subject information are not particularly limited, but include, for example, an address, postal code, coordinates, etc. The descriptive information may include, for example, a video. By using the aforementioned video to explain the subject of the transaction, for example, it becomes possible to better explain the attractiveness of the subject of the transaction.

[0051] The transaction support method of this embodiment only requires that at least the first tourist destination information and the second tourist destination information be acquired 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. Also, the acquisition of the transaction target information may be performed multiple times, for example. The first tourist destination information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the first tourism promoter. The second tourist destination information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the second tourism promoter. The transaction target information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the first 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.

[0052] Next, the generation unit 12 generates a first EC (Electronic Commerce) site unique to each tourist destination and a second EC site that can be linked with the first EC site, based on the first and second tourist destination information (S12). The first and second EC sites are sites that display the items to be traded, and each site has a page for each provider. The first EC site is, for example, an EC site for the first tourism promoter. The second EC site is, for example, an EC site for the second tourism promoter. The generation unit 12 generates the first EC site, for example, by linking it with the location information of the tourist destination. This ensures that, for example, one first EC site is generated for each tourist destination. The generation unit 12 may also generate the second EC site, for example, by linking it with the location information of the tourist destination. Unless otherwise specified, known methods can be used for generating EC sites.

[0053] If a first e-commerce site has already been created for the tourist destination indicated by the first tourist destination information, the generation unit 12 may, for example, link the already created first e-commerce site with the newly acquired first tourist destination information. Alternatively, if a first e-commerce site has already been created for the tourist destination indicated by the first tourist destination information, the generation unit 12 may, for example, notify the terminal that transmitted the first tourist destination information to this device 10 (the transmitting terminal) that a first e-commerce site has already been created. The transmitting terminal is, for example, the terminal of the first tourism promoter.

[0054] Next, the display unit 13 displays the transaction target information for tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter on the first e-commerce site, and also displays the transaction target information displayed on the first e-commerce site on the second e-commerce site (S13). Since the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site are linked, for example, if there is a change in the transaction target information displayed on the first e-commerce site, the display unit 13 can also reflect the change on the second e-commerce site. For example, the transaction target information from multiple providers is displayed on the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site. In addition, for example, multiple transaction target information may be displayed on the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site. The display unit 13 may, for example, display all the information included in the transaction target information, or it may display only some of the information. The display unit 13 may, for example, display the location information of the transaction target information on at least one of the e-commerce sites (also referred to as the first e-commerce site, etc.) of the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site. The location information may be displayed in the form of, for example, text data or a map.

[0055] The display unit 13 may, for example, display the transaction target information displayed on multiple first e-commerce sites on the second e-commerce site. That is, the transaction target information for multiple tourist destinations can be displayed on the second e-commerce site.

[0056] Then, the transaction processing unit 14 executes transaction processing related to the transaction item 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 item (which can also be a tourist, a buyer, or a person who has made a reservation). The user makes the request by, for example, using the user's terminal (user terminal) to access the first EC site, etc. That is, since the first EC site and the second EC site are linked, the transaction processing unit 14 can execute transaction processing related to the target transaction item regardless of whether the user accesses from the first EC site or the second EC site. The transaction processing unit 14 generates transaction information by executing the transaction processing. The transaction information is, for example, information related to the transaction of the transaction item. 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.

[0057] 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 first tourism promoter, the terminal of the second tourism promoter, the terminal of the provider, etc.). The registration unit 15 allows for the automatic registration of the transaction information, thereby reducing the burden on each tourism promoter (the first tourism promoter and the second tourism promoter; the same applies hereinafter) and the provider.

[0058] 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 generation of the first EC site (S12), and may be performed multiple times. The remaining information can be acquired, for example, from the terminal of the first tourism promoter, the terminal of the second 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 the information of at least one of the number of slots and the number of people (also called the number of people that can be traded) displayed on the first EC site, etc. (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.

[0059] When the remaining quantity information is acquired, 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 first e-commerce site according to the remaining quantity information, and reflect the adjusted display in the display of at least one of the information regarding the number of slots and the number of people on the second e-commerce site. 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 first e-commerce 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 first e-commerce site may also display information regarding the number of available transactions on a daily or hourly basis.

[0060] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, setting information relating to the settings of the first e-commerce site, etc. The setting information may include, for example, information relating to the settings of the user interface (for example, the design of the first e-commerce site, etc.). The timing of acquiring the setting information is not particularly limited and may be performed, for example, before the generation of the first e-commerce site, etc., or after the generation of the first e-commerce site, etc. The acquisition of the setting information may be performed multiple times, for example. The setting information can be acquired, for example, from the terminals of the first tourism promoter and the second tourism promoter. When the setting information is acquired, the generation unit 12 generates the first e-commerce site, etc., or changes the settings (user interface, etc.) of the first e-commerce site, etc., according to the setting information.

[0061] The generation unit 12 may, for example, provide material information relating to the user interface of the first e-commerce site, etc. 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.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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 terminals of each tourism promoter, 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.

[0064] 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 terminals of each tourism promoter, 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 transaction information does not include the fee information, for example, the transaction processing unit 14 may request the setting of the fee from the first tourism promoter, the second tourism promoter, and the provider through the settlement process.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] The plan creation unit 15 receives input from the plan creator and creates a tourist plan by combining a plurality of the transaction target information displayed on at least one of the first EC site and the second EC site (S16). The processing by the plan creation unit 15 may be executed at any time after at least one of the first EC site and the second EC site has been generated. The plan creator is not particularly limited and may be the user, the first tourism promoter, the second tourism promoter, the provider, or any other third party. The plan creator may, for example, access the first EC site and make various inputs on the first EC site. The input may be made by the input device 105 or by an external input device. The way in which the transaction target information is combined is not particularly limited. The tourist plan is displayed on the first EC site by, for example, the display unit 13. By enabling the creation of the tourist plan, for example, if the plan creator is the user, a tourist plan suitable for the user's preferences can be created. Furthermore, if the plan creator is one of the tourism promoters or providers, they can, for example, create a recommended sightseeing plan for the user and display it on the first e-commerce site, etc. By enabling the combinations, the user can, for example, enjoy the same tourist destination without getting bored, depending on the combination. Also, by enabling the combinations, it is possible to promote transactions of the transaction targets. Furthermore, by promoting transactions of the transaction targets, it is possible to encourage the tourism promoters and providers to discover and develop the transaction targets, and to increase the variety of transaction targets.

[0069] 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.

[0070] The analysis unit 17 analyzes information regarding the user terminal's access to at least one of the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site (S17). The timing of the analysis is not particularly limited and may be performed at any time after at least one of the first e-commerce site and the second e-commerce site has been created.

[0071] 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 relating to the status of the user terminal accessing at least one of the first EC site and the second EC site. The status information includes, for example, identification information that can identify the user terminal, location information of the user terminal, browser information relating to the browser used by the user terminal for the access, the time each page on the first EC site etc. is displayed on the display, 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.

[0072] The analysis unit 17 may, for example, analyze the appropriate price of the transaction target based on transaction performance for any arbitrary period. The display unit 13 then displays the price as the price information of the transaction target on the first e-commerce site, and also displays the price displayed on the first e-commerce site on the second 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 performance can be obtained, for example, from the results of the transaction processing by the transaction processing unit 14. Specifically, for example, if the transaction target 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 transaction target in summer can be set to be different from the price of the transaction target in winter. Whether to set the price of the transaction target higher or lower than the price of the comparison target can be arbitrarily set by, for example, each tourism promoter or provider. Furthermore, the analysis unit 17 may analyze the appropriate price of the trading target based on, for example, the number of tradable units (also known as inventory) of the trading target. The number of tradable units 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 trading target in the afternoon of that day to be different from the price of the trading target in the morning of that day. If the objective is to sell off the trading target, for example, the price of the trading target in the afternoon of that day may be set lower than the price of the trading target in the morning of that day. Furthermore, the analysis unit 17 may, for example, analyze the appropriate price of the trading target based on another trading target (let's call it trading target B) that is similar to the trading target (let's call it trading target A). Other transaction items include, for example, transaction item 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 item A is provided (for example, the location of an event); transaction item B provided on the same day as transaction item A; transaction item B whose required time differs from that of transaction item A within a certain range; transaction item B having the same or similar category as transaction item A, etc.The aforementioned categories may, for example, be included in the transaction item information. Specifically, for example, the analysis can be used to set the price of transaction item A such that the difference between the price of transaction item A and the price of transaction item B falls within a certain range (for example, 0 to 3000 yen). This certain range can be arbitrarily set by, for example, each tourism promoter or provider. In this way, by analyzing the appropriate price of the transaction item, flexible pricing becomes possible.

[0073] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, route information. The route information is, for example, information indicating the route taken to access the first e-commerce site, etc. Specifically, it is information that can identify websites such as search engines, homepages, and SNS (Social Networking Service) that were used to access the first e-commerce site, etc. 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 first e-commerce site, etc. 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 first e-commerce site, etc. and transactions on the transaction target. According to this estimation, for example, websites that should be actively used for advertising the first e-commerce site, etc. can be identified, enabling efficient advertising.

[0074] The acquisition unit 11 may acquire, for example, keyword information. The keyword information is, for example, information about keywords used to access the first e-commerce site, etc. The analysis unit 17 uses the keyword information to analyze the relationship between the keywords and at least one of the access to the first e-commerce site, etc. and the transaction target 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, when the user accesses the first e-commerce site, etc., when they search using those keywords, and when they issue a request regarding the transaction target. As a result, the analysis unit 17 can estimate, for example, keywords that promote access to the first e-commerce site, etc. and transactions of the transaction target. Based on this estimation, for example, it is possible to understand what the user is interested in and to improve the quality of the first e-commerce site, etc. and the transaction target.

[0075] The analysis results from the analysis unit 17 may be output, for example, to the terminals of each of the tourism promoters or the terminals of the providers. The analysis results may also be output in a format that can be edited with, for example, spreadsheet software. This allows, for example, each of the tourism promoters or providers to integrate and aggregate the analysis results with other data, thereby improving the handling and convenience of the data.

[0076] 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 (functions for operating the e-commerce site) for generating the first e-commerce site can be provided to the first tourism promoter, and a platform for generating the second e-commerce site can be provided to the second tourism promoter.

[0077] Without using the present invention, when conducting transactions (reservations or sales) of the aforementioned trading targets, users themselves must individually access the sites of each provider offering the trading targets, search and obtain various information, compare and examine each trading target and provider, and then conduct the transaction. Thus, without using the present invention, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort for users to conduct transactions related to their desired trading targets. In contrast, with the present invention, since the trading targets offered by each provider in a specific tourist destination can be displayed on the first and second e-commerce sites, the time and effort required for users to conduct transactions related to their desired trading targets can be reduced.

[0078] [Embodiment 2] A trading system including the trading support device 10 described in Embodiment 1 will be described below.

[0079] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the trading system 100 of this embodiment, and Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of applying the trading system 100 of this embodiment. The trading system 100 can also be called, for example, a trading system device. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the system 100 includes the trading support device 10 described in Embodiment 1, a user terminal 20, a first tourism promoter terminal 30 (30a to 30b), and a second tourism promoter terminal 40. The system 100 may also include, as an optional configuration, a provider terminal 50 (50a to 50b), a guide matching support device 60 (60a to 60b), etc. In Figures 4 and 5, the number of user terminals 20, etc. is illustrative and not limited to this, and there may be multiple, for example. Note that the direction of the arrows in Figure 5 indicates the direction of the flow of various information, but this is just an example and not limited to this.

[0080] User terminal 20 is the terminal of the user (which can also be called a tourist, etc.). First tourism promoter terminal 30 is the terminal of the first tourism promoter. Second tourism promoter terminal 40 is the terminal of the second tourism promoter. Provider terminal 50 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 first tourism promoters are exemplified by the tourism associations of town A and town B, and the second tourism promoter is exemplified by a DMO that promotes tourism in the AAA region encompassing towns A and B, etc. Furthermore, in Figure 5, the first EC sites 10a to 10b generated by the generation unit 12 of the transaction support device 10 are shown as EC sites unique to town A and town B, respectively, and the second EC site 10c generated by the generation unit 12 of the transaction support device 10 is an EC site that can be linked with the first EC sites within the AAA region, such as the first EC sites 10a to 10b. Hereinafter, the first EC sites 10a to 10b and the second EC site 10c will be collectively referred to as EC sites 10a to 10c.

[0081] The transaction support device 10 can communicate with the first tourism promoter terminal 30, the second tourism promoter terminal 40, and the provider terminal 50, for example, via the communication network. The first 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 at least one of the e-commerce sites 10a to c generated by the transaction support device 10.

[0082] The first tourism promoter terminal 30 transmits the first tourist destination information to the transaction support device 10. The second tourism promoter terminal 40 transmits the second tourist destination information to the transaction support device 10. The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 acquires the first tourist destination information from the first tourism promoter terminal 30 and the second tourist destination information from the second tourism promoter terminal 40. Then, the generation unit 12 generates EC sites 10a to 10c.

[0083] The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 acquires the transaction target information from, for example, at least one of the first tourism promoter terminal 30 and the provider terminal 50. The display unit 13 then displays the transaction target information on the first EC sites 10a to 10b, and may subsequently display the transaction target information on the second EC site 10c as well. This series of processes can be referred to as, for example, "product (service) registration".

[0084] The acquisition unit 11 of the transaction support device 10 may acquire the remaining quantity information from, for example, at least one of the first tourism promoter terminal 30, the second tourism promoter terminal 40, and the provider terminal 50. The display unit 13 may then adjust the display of the number of tradable items on the EC sites 10a to 10c according to the remaining quantity information. This series of processes can also be called, for example, "inventory adjustment".

[0085] The user accesses the first e-commerce site 10a via the homepage of the A town tourism association, for example, using the user terminal 20. The user then uses the user terminal 20 to operate the first 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 first tourism promoter terminal 30a and the provider terminal 50a, so that the A town tourism association and each provider can confirm the contents of the transaction information. If the user accesses the first e-commerce site 10b via the homepage of the B town tourism association, for example, using the user terminal 20, the processing is the same as when accessing the first e-commerce site 10a.

[0086] Furthermore, the user can also access the second e-commerce site 10c via the DMO's homepage (HP) or the like using the user terminal 20. The user then uses the user terminal 20 to operate the second e-commerce site 10c and makes a request to the transaction support device 10 for a specific transaction item (hereinafter, the transaction item is assumed to be a specialty product of Town A). 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 of the transaction item. The transaction information generated by the transaction processing is output to, for example, the first tourism promoter terminal 30a, the second tourism promoter terminal 40, and the provider terminal 50a, so that the Town A Tourism Association, the DMO, and each provider can confirm the contents of the transaction information. When the transaction is processed via the second e-commerce site 10c, for example, the display unit 13 changes and displays not only the number of available transactions displayed on the second e-commerce site 10c, but also the number of available transactions displayed on the first e-commerce site 10a. In this way, the details of transactions (reservations, sales, etc.) conducted from the second e-commerce site 10c can also be linked with the first e-commerce site 10a (the transaction support device 10 on the first tourism promoter's side).

[0087] In this way, the user can conduct transactions for the transaction target from either the first EC site 10a-b or the second EC site 10c. Furthermore, the second EC site 10c displays both the transaction target information displayed on the first EC site 10a and the transaction target information displayed on the first EC site 10b. In addition, the second EC site 10c may also display the transaction target information unique to the second tourism promoter terminal 40 (for example, transaction target information for tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter that does not have the first EC site). In this way, it is possible to trade for the transaction target in multiple tourist destinations using only the second EC site 10c. Moreover, since the transaction target in multiple tourist destinations can be combined using the second EC site 10c, the degree of freedom in selecting the transaction target is further improved.

[0088] The first tourism promoter may, for example, receive requests for transactions of the subject of the transaction by means other than the first e-commerce sites 10a to b. Examples of methods other than the first e-commerce sites 10a to b include telephone, fax, e-commerce sites different from the second e-commerce site 10c provided by OTAs (Online Travel Agents) or DMOs (Destination Management Organizations), etc. The first tourism promoter may, for example, receive the requests directly from the users by means other than the first e-commerce sites 10a to b, or receive the requests indirectly from the users through the OTAs or DMOs. When the first tourism promoter receives the requests by means other than the first e-commerce sites 10a to b, the first tourism promoter inputs the requests into the first tourism promoter terminal 30, for example. The first tourism promoter terminal 30 outputs the requests to the transaction support device 10, for example. The transaction processing unit 14 of the transaction support device 10 receives the requests and may execute the transaction processing as described above. On the other hand, the first tourism promoter terminal 30 may, for example, perform transaction processing similar to that of the transaction processing unit 14 when it receives the aforementioned request. The transaction information generated by the first tourism promoter terminal 30 may then be registered in a storage area. The storage area is the same as described above and may be the same as the storage area that stores the transaction information generated by the transaction processing unit 14. That is, the storage area can store, for example, the transaction information generated by the transaction processing unit 14 and the transaction information generated by the first tourism promoter terminal 30.

[0089] The first e-commerce sites 10a to 10b are operated, for example, by the respective first tourism promoters. The second e-commerce site 10c is operated, for example, by the second tourism promoter. The platform provider that provides the platform for generating e-commerce sites 10a to 10c using the device 10 may, for example, support the operation of e-commerce sites 10a to 10c by the first and second tourism promoters.

[0090] The first tourism promoter terminals 30a to 30b may, for example, hold data relating to towns A and B, respectively. The data is not particularly limited and may include, for example, data relating to the transaction targets. The first tourism promoter terminals 30a to 30b may, for example, transmit the data to the second tourism promoter terminal 40. In this way, the data may be shared between the first tourism promoter terminals 30a to 30b and the second tourism promoter terminal 40. The second tourism promoter terminal 40 may also hold data relating to DMOs. The data relating to DMOs is not particularly limited and may include, for example, information relating to the first tourism promoter that does not have the first e-commerce site, information relating to tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter that does not have the first e-commerce site, information relating to the transaction targets in those tourist destinations, etc. This allows the second tourism promoter terminal 40 to hold data relating to a specific region, including towns A and B.

[0091] The guide matching support device 60 is a device that assists in matching the user with the guide 70 of the tourist tour that is the subject of the transaction. For example, known technology can be used as the guide matching support device 60. 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 60 performs the matching, for example, based on instructions from the first tourism promoter terminal 30. The first tourism promoter terminal 30 may, for example, automatically output the transaction information to the guide matching support device 60. The guide matching support device 60 may, for example, automatically register the transaction information in a storage area.

[0092] 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.

[0093] 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 on sale or accepting reservations on the e-commerce sites 10a to c.

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] Databases related to the guide matching support device 60 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 guide information for, for example, guides 70a to 70b. 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 provide, 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 guides 70a to 70b.

[0097] The various types of information stored in each database may be output to, for example, the terminals of each tourism promoter or the terminals of the providers. The various types of information may be output in a format that can be edited with, for example, spreadsheet software. This allows, for example, each tourism promoter or provider to integrate and aggregate the various types of information with other data, thereby improving the handling and convenience of the data.

[0098] 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.

[0099] [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. The program of this embodiment may be, for example, recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium is, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The recording medium is not particularly limited and includes, for example, read-only memory (ROM), hard disk (HD), optical disc, etc.

[0100] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications to the configuration and details of the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.

[0101] <Note> Some or all of the above embodiments may be described as follows, but are not limited to the following: (Note 1) It includes an acquisition unit, a generation unit, a display unit, and a transaction processing unit, The acquisition unit acquires first tourist destination information that can identify tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter, second tourist destination information that can identify tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the second tourism promoter, and transaction target information relating to the transaction target. The tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the second tourism promoter may include multiple tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter. The subject of the transaction is at least one of the goods and services relating to the aforementioned tourist destination. The generation unit generates a first EC (Electronic Commerce) site unique to each tourist destination and a second EC site that can be linked with the first EC site, based on the first tourist destination information and the second tourist destination information. The display unit displays the transaction information for tourist destinations under the jurisdiction of the first tourism promoter on the first e-commerce site, and also displays the transaction information displayed on the first e-commerce site on the second e-commerce site.
