[0012] The following describes embodiments of the present invention, but unless contrary to the spirit of the invention, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. The system, program, and method of the present invention can be applied to virtually any product, regardless of the industrial field.

[0013] The following describes a case where a seller who wants to sell their own products builds their own e-commerce site (a site for selling specific products on the internet) without using a platform like the one described in Non-Patent Document 1. However, the system of the present invention can be applied not only to personal e-commerce sites but also to other services such as the platform described in Non-Patent Document 1.

[0014] The following explanation will primarily focus on cases where vendors handle food and beverages as products, but the products handled by the product system of this invention can be other than food and beverages. Furthermore, the shopper users are not particularly limited; they may be from a specific organization or individuals not belonging to any particular organization.

[0015] 1. First Embodiment 1.1. Overall Structure The overall configuration of the system according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. As shown in Figure 1, the system according to the first embodiment consists of shopper user terminals 1a to 1z, a server device 2, a communication network 3, a store owner user terminal 4, and a system operator terminal 5. For example, the shopper user terminals 1a to 1z are owned and operated by each of several shopper users who intend to use an e-commerce site independently built by a store owner. The store owner user terminal 4 is owned and operated by the person who built the e-commerce site. The system operator terminal 5 is owned and operated by the person who operates the system that supports the construction of the e-commerce site. Furthermore, similar to the customer user terminals, it is possible to provide multiple vendor user terminals 4 and system operator terminals 5 depending on the number of staff members. The shopper user terminal 1, the vendor user terminal 4, and the system operator terminal 5 can communicate with the server device 2 via the communication network 3.

[0016] 1.1.1. Shopper User Terminal 1 The shopper user terminal 1 is not particularly limited as long as it is a computer device having a display screen and an input unit. The shopper user terminal 1 may be a stationary device or a portable device that the user can carry with them when they are on the move. Examples of shopper user terminal 1 include conventional mobile phones, tablet devices, smartphones, and desktop or notebook personal computers.

[0017] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a shopper user terminal 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The shopper user terminal 1 comprises at least a control unit 11, RAM 12, storage unit 13, graphics processing unit 14, communication interface 15, and interface unit 16, each connected by an internal bus.

[0018] The control unit 11 consists of a CPU and ROM. The control unit 11 executes programs stored in the storage unit 13 and controls the shopper user terminal 1. The RAM 12 is the work area of ​​the control unit 11. The storage unit 13 is a memory area for saving programs and data. The control unit 11 reads programs and data from the RAM 12 and processes them. By processing the programs and data loaded into the RAM 12, the control unit 11 outputs drawing commands to the graphics processing unit 14.

[0019] The graphics processing unit 14 is connected to the display unit 18. The display unit 18 has a display screen 19. When the control unit 11 outputs a drawing command to the graphics processing unit 14, the graphics processing unit 14 outputs a video signal for displaying an image on the display screen 19. Here, the display unit 18 may be a touch panel equipped with a touch sensor. This touch panel of the display unit 18 also functions as an input unit 20.

[0020] The communication interface 15 can connect to the communication network 3 wirelessly or via a wired connection, and can send and receive data with the server device 2 via the communication network 3. Data received via the communication interface 15 is loaded into the RAM 12, and calculation processing is performed by the control unit 11. An external memory 17 (for example, an SD card) is connected to the interface unit 16.

[0021] 1.1.2. Server device 2 Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a server device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The server device 2 comprises at least a control unit 21, a RAM 22, a storage unit 23, and a communication interface 24, each connected by an internal bus.

[0022] The control unit 21 consists of a CPU and ROM, and executes programs stored in the storage unit 23 to control the server device 2. The control unit 21 also has an internal timer for timing. The RAM 22 is the work area of ​​the control unit 21. The storage unit 23 is a memory area for saving programs and data. The control unit 21 reads programs and data from the RAM 12 and performs program execution processing based on information received from the shopper user terminal 1, the store owner user terminal 4, and / or the system operator terminal 5.

[0023] 1.1.3. Exhibitor user terminal 4, System operator terminal 5 Since the configuration of the vendor user terminal 4 and the system operator terminal 5 is the same as that of the shopper user terminal 1, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0024] 1.2. Processes performed by shopper users The processes performed by shopper users in the system of the first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 4 to 6.

[0025] 1.2.1. Shopper User Registration Process Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the shopper user registration process in the system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] A shopper user who wishes to use the system operates the shopper user terminal 1 and accesses a designated website (i.e., accesses the server device 2 via a browser). (Step S1-1)

[0027] Next, the shopper user operates the shopper user terminal 1 on a designated website to create an account and enters account information 51 (step S1-2). Account information 51 includes, for example, the shopper user ID and password that the shopper user arbitrarily sets, as shown in Figure 5. Furthermore, it is possible for shopper user IDs and passwords to be assigned by the seller user, etc. It is also possible to create accounts using account information already used on other social media platforms.

[0028] The entered account information 51 is sent to the server device 2 (step S1-3), received by the server device 2 (step S1-4), and then stored in the storage unit 23 (account created) (step S1-5). A notification that an account has been created is sent to the shopper user terminal 1 of the shopper user who entered the account information 51 (step S1-6). After the shopper user terminal 1 receives the notification (step S1-7), the notification that an account has been created and the shopper user registration screen are displayed on the display screen 19 of the shopper user terminal 1 (step S1-8).

[0029] The shopper user operates the shopper user terminal 1 and enters the shopper user registration information 52 (step S1-9). The shopper user registration information 52 may include, for example, the shopper's username, gender, date of birth, region of residence (such as prefecture), profile picture, phone number, and email address, as shown in Figure 5. Furthermore, it is possible to verify whether the entered shopper user registration information 52 is correct by requesting the user to present identification documents or other forms of identification.

[0030] The entered shopper user registration information 52 is sent to the server device 2 (step S1-10), received by the server device 2 (step S1-11), linked with the account information 51, and then stored in the storage unit 23 (step S1-12). A notification that the shopper user registration information 52 has been registered is sent to the shopper user terminal 1 of the shopper user who entered the shopper user registration information 52 (step S1-13). After it is received by the shopper user terminal 1 (step S1-14), a notification that the shopper user registration information 52 has been registered is displayed on the display screen 19 of the shopper user terminal 1, and the process ends (step S1-15).

[0031] After the shopper user registration process, the shopper user will be able to use the system. (Hereafter, the act of a shopper user entering their account information 51 and accessing the system will simply be referred to as "logging in.") It is also possible for shoppers to use the system by registering only account information 51 without registering shopper user registration information 52. However, if shoppers wish to use more advanced services, it is preferable to register shopper user registration information 52 as well. Furthermore, shoppers may be allowed to use the system as guests without having to go through the shopper user registration process. Furthermore, the shopper user registration information 52 can be modified or otherwise changed at any time the shopper user wishes.

[0032] 1.2.2. Purchase Processing Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the purchase process in a system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] A shopper user who wishes to use the system operates shopper user terminal 1 and accesses a designated website. The instructions for logging into the system are the same as those in "1.2.1. Shopper User Registration Process," so they will be omitted here.

[0034] Next, the shopper user operates the shopper user terminal 1 as needed and enters the product information they wish to purchase into the system (step 2-1). Specifically, it is preferable to have a search window for searching for product information uploaded to the system always displayed on the shopper user terminal 1 so that the shopper user can enter the product information they wish to purchase.

[0035] The entered product information is sent to server device 2 (step S2-2), and after being received by server device 2 (step S2-3), it is searched to see if product information matching the entered product information, or product information similar to the product information, exists in the system (step S2-4). If, as a result of the search, product information matching the entered product information, or product information similar to the entered product information, exists in the system, that information is stored in the storage unit 23, linked to the account information 51 and the search date and time, etc. If, as a result of the search, product information matching the entered product information, or product information similar to the entered product information, does not exist in the system, a message indicating that no such product information existed is sent to the shopper user terminal 1 in step S2-5 described later.

[0036] The search results are sent to the shopper user terminal 1 of the shopper user who entered the product information they wish to purchase into the system (step S2-5). After the search results are received by the shopper user terminal 1 (step S2-6), they are displayed on the display screen 19 of the shopper user terminal 1 (step S2-7).

[0037] The shopper user decides which product to purchase based on the displayed search results, etc., and enters information indicating their desire to purchase that product (hereinafter referred to as "purchase request information") (Step S2-8). The entered purchase request information is then sent to the server device 2 (step S2-9), and after being received by the server device 2 (step S2-10), the purchase request information is linked to the account information 51 and the date and time the purchase request information was received, and then stored in the storage unit 23 (step S2-11). Subsequently, a notification that purchase request information has been entered is sent to the seller user terminal 4 (step S2-12). A notification that the purchase request information has been sent to the seller user terminal 4 is then sent to the shopper user terminal 1 of the shopper user who entered the purchase request information into the system (step S2-13). After being received by the shopper user terminal 1 (step S2-14), it is displayed on the display screen 19 of the shopper user terminal 1 (step S2-15), and the process ends.

[0038] 1.3. Processes performed by the seller user The processes performed by the exhibitor user in the system of the first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 7 to 11.

[0039] 1.3.1 Exhibitor User Registration Process Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the vendor user registration process in the system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] A vendor user who wishes to use the system operates the vendor user terminal 4 and accesses a designated website (i.e., accesses the server device 2 via a browser) (step S3-1).

[0041] Next, the exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4 on the designated website to create an account and enters the account information 61 (step S3-2). Account information 61 is the same as that in "1.2.1. Shopper User Registration Process," so its explanation is omitted. It is also possible for the exhibitor's user ID and password to be assigned by the system administrator or other relevant parties.

[0042] The entered account information 61 is sent to the server device 2 (step S3-3), received by the server device 2 (step S3-4), and then stored in the storage unit 23 (account created) (step S3-5). A notification that the account has been created is sent to the seller user terminal 4 of the seller user who entered the account information 61 (step S3-6). After the seller user terminal 4 receives the notification (step S3-7), the screen of the seller user terminal 4 displays the notification that the account has been created and the company's product registration screen (step S3-8).

[0043] The seller user operates the seller user terminal 4 and enters their own product information 62, which is the product information of their own products to be uploaded to the system (step S3-9). Company product information 62 includes, for example, product ID, product name, price, product image, product description, telephone number, email address, etc., as shown in Figure 8. The product ID is primarily used to manage product information uploaded by sellers, and it may be automatically entered into the system.

[0044] The entered company product information 62 is transmitted to the server device 2 (step S3-10), received by the server device 2 (step S3-11), linked with the account information 61, and then stored in the storage unit 23 (step S3-12). A notification that the company's product information 62 has been stored is sent to the seller user terminal 4 of the seller user who entered the company's product information 62 (step S3-13). After it is received by the seller user terminal 4 (step S3-14), a notification that the company's product information 62 has been registered is displayed on the display screen of the seller user terminal 4, and the process ends (step S3-15).

[0045] After the seller user registration process, seller users will be able to use the system, and shoppers will be able to access the product information uploaded by seller users. (Hereafter, when a seller user enters their account information 61 to access the system, this will also simply be referred to as "logging in.")

[0046] 1.3.2. Sales Processing Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the sales process in a system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The sales process is performed on the seller user terminal 4 after "Step S2-12," in which a notification is sent to the seller user terminal 4 indicating that purchase request information has been entered in "1.2.2. Purchase Process."

[0047] The exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4, accesses the designated website, and logs into the system.

[0048] The notification of purchase request information sent in step S2-12 is received by the seller user terminal 4 (step S4-1), and the purchase request information is then stored in the storage unit, linked with account information 51, shopper user registration information 52, and the date and time the purchase request information was received (step S4-2). Furthermore, since purchase request information may be received irregularly and continuously, including when the seller's store is closed, it is preferable to store purchase request information in the storage unit in a way that distinguishes it from other information.

[0049] The seller user operates the seller user terminal 4 in a timely manner, accesses the storage unit, and confirms the purchase request information (step S4-3). Then, based on the purchase request information, the seller user executes the product shipping procedure (step S4-4). While it is preferable for product shipping procedures to be automated at all times through the system, it is also acceptable for sellers to perform them manually during their store's business hours.

[0050] After the shipping procedure for the product is completed, a notification that the procedure has been completed is sent to the server device 2 (step S4-5). After the server device 2 receives the notification (step S4-6), the account information 51, the shopper user registration information 52, the date and time of receipt of the purchase request information, and the notification that the shipping procedure for the product has been completed are linked and stored in the storage unit 23 (step S4-7). The information stored in step S4-7 corresponds to "information about products purchased by the customer," and the storage unit 23 that stores this information corresponds to the "purchased product storage means."

[0051] Subsequently, a notification that the product has been shipped is sent to the shopper user terminal 1 of the shopper user who entered the purchase request information into the system (step S4-8). After being received by the shopper user terminal 1, it is displayed on the display screen 19 of the shopper user terminal 1, and the process is completed.

[0052] 1.3.2. Product Data Selection Process Figure 10 is a flowchart showing the product data selection process in a system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, the "product data selection process" corresponds to the "product data selection means" and the "product data quantity selection means."

[0053] The exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4, accesses the designated website, and logs into the system.

[0054] Next, the exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4 and accesses a web page (hereinafter referred to as the "list page") that displays a list of their company's product information entered in "Step S3-9" of "1.3.1 Exhibitor User Registration Process" (Step S5-1). The list page displays not only information about the seller's own products, but also product data for several products pre-entered by the system operator (hereinafter referred to as "default products"). Sellers can then sell these default products alongside their own products. Because of this mechanism, the system of the present invention makes it possible for anyone, even those who do not own any products or those who are looking to procure new products, to immediately enter the e-commerce business.

[0055] While this type of system has the significant advantage of increasing the number of products that can be sold, it also has the disadvantage that if the number of products, especially default products, becomes too large, the proportion of the company's own products will decrease, and the company's own products will become less noticeable. Therefore, it is preferable that the system of the present invention allows the seller user to select which product data from the default product data to use.

[0056] After the seller user accesses the list page, they select, for example, default products that are closely related to their own products (step S5-2), and the list of selected product data is sent to server device 2 (step S5-3). The list sent in step S5-4 is received by the server device 2 (step S5-4), and then stored in the storage unit 23 after associating it with account information 61 and the date and time the list was received (step S5-5).

[0057] Then, the server device 2 configures the system so that the product data in the selected list is displayed on the list page (step S5-6), and a notification that the configuration is complete is sent to the seller user terminal 4 of the seller user who sent the list (step S5-7).

[0058] After the notification that the settings are complete is received by the exhibitor user terminal 4 (step S5-8), the notification that the settings are complete is displayed on the display screen of the exhibitor user terminal 4 and the process ends (step S5-9).

[0059] In the "product data selection process" of the first embodiment, step S5-2, "selecting default products closely related to the company's own products," was performed on the exhibitor user terminal 4, but it may also be performed on the server device 2.

[0060] Furthermore, default products are available for use by sellers without the need to enter into individual contracts, and product images and / or product data such as product summaries are pre-filled to introduce the default products. This information has also been checked for compliance with various laws, such as the Premiums and Representations Act and the Act on Securing Quality, Effectiveness and Safety of Medical Devices, etc. Therefore, even those who have no products of their own or those who are looking to procure new products can immediately enter the e-commerce business.

[0061] Furthermore, the "product data selection process" may be performed using a generative AI. When using a generative AI, a learning model may be used that uses the company's product information, product data related to default products, and / or a purchased product memory means as training data. Using this learning model, for example, if the company's product is food or beverage, the default product may also be food or beverage, which is in the same industry as the company's product. The system may then automatically select default products that are related to the company's product and industry, and display the selection results on the exhibitor user terminal 4. This process allows sellers to select products for their e-commerce site without confusion and in a way that makes them more likely to be chosen by shoppers.

[0062] 1.3.3. Price Determination Process Figure 11 is a flowchart showing the price determination process in a system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, "price determination process" corresponds to "price determination means."

[0063] The exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4, accesses the designated website, and logs into the system.

[0064] Next, the exhibitor user operates the exhibitor user terminal 4 and accesses the list page (step S6-1) after the "product data in the list of selected product data is set up to be displayed on the list page based on the list of selected product data in "step S5-6" of "1.3.2. Product Data Selection Process".

[0065] On the list page, edit buttons are provided for each product information and product data related to default products, allowing the seller user to edit the input information. The seller user operates the seller user terminal 4 and selects the product information and / or product data related to default products for which they wish to change the price (step S6-2). Then, the seller user operates the seller user terminal 4 to determine the price of the selected product information and / or the product data for the default product (step S6-3). This type of processing allows sellers to determine the prices of not only their own products but also the default products. In other words, sellers can treat default products in the same way as their own products.

[0066] The price data for the determined price is transmitted to the server device 2 (step S6-4), and after being received by the server device 2 (step S6-5), the price data is linked to the account information 61 and the date and time the price data was received, and then stored in the storage unit 23 (step S6-6).

[0067] Then, the server device 2 is configured to reflect the price of the product information and / or the product data for the default product based on the price data (step S6-7), and a notification that the configuration is complete is sent to the seller user terminal 4 of the seller user who sent the list (step S6-8).

[0068] After the notification that the settings are complete is received by the exhibitor user terminal 4 (step S6-9), the notification that the settings are complete will be displayed on the display screen of the exhibitor user terminal 4 and the process will end (step S6-10).

[0069] Furthermore, the "price determination process" may be performed using generative AI. When using generative AI, a learning model may be used that uses the company's product information, product data related to default products, and / or a means of storing purchased products as training data. This learning model may then be used to perform processes such as presenting price ranges for products handled on the company's e-commerce site. Furthermore, the "price determination process" can also include specific benefits, such as coupons that offer price discounts, at the request of the seller user. By implementing this process, it becomes possible for sellers to determine the prices of products on their own e-commerce site in a way that is easy for users to understand and more likely to be chosen by shoppers.

[0070] 1.4. Processes performed by the system operator The processes performed by the system operator in the first embodiment of the system will be described below with reference to Figures 12 and 13.

[0071] 1.4.1 System Usage Fee Determination Process Figure 12 is a flowchart showing the system usage fee determination process in a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, the "system usage fee determination process" corresponds to the "usage fee adjustment method."

[0072] The system administrator operates the system administrator terminal 5, accesses the designated website, and logs in to the system's administration screen. (Step S7-1) Methods for logging into the administration screen include using a password set by the system administrator, but are not limited to any particular method.

[0073] Next, check whether any seller users have executed step S5-6 of "1.3.2. Product Data Selection Process," which involves "setting the page so that the product data in the selected list is displayed on the list page based on the list of product data selected." (Step S7-2) If there is a store owner user who has performed the process in step S5-6, the system usage fee for that store owner user is determined using, for example, the fee table information 7 based on the number of selected product data, as shown in Figure 13, which is stored in the storage unit 23. (Step S7-3) The process in step S7-3 may be performed automatically according to certain rules, or it may be performed manually. If no seller user has performed the process in step S5-6, the process will terminate. The timing for starting the price determination process can be set arbitrarily, but it is preferable to set it to the timing when the seller user has executed the process in step S5-6.

[0074] After processing in step S7-3, the determined data containing the determined system usage fee information is transmitted to the server device 2 (step S7-4), received by the server device 2 (step S7-5), and stored in the storage unit 23 (step S7-6).

[0075] Then, the server device 2 is configured to reflect the system usage fee based on the decision data (step S7-7), and a notification that the configuration is complete is sent to the exhibitor user terminal 4 of the exhibitor user who performed the process in step S5-6, and to the system operator terminal 5 (step S7-8).

[0076] After the notification that the settings have been completed is received by the exhibitor user terminal 4 and the system operator terminal 5 (step S7-9), the notification that the settings have been completed is displayed on the display screens of the exhibitor user terminal 4 and the system operator terminal 5 (step S7-10), and the process ends.

[0077] 1.4.2. Prohibiting the use of specific vendor users and / or customer users. The system operator may prohibit the use of the system by seller users and / or shopper users who continue to engage in inappropriate behavior, such as failing to pay system usage fees or repeatedly leaving malicious reviews. Possible actions to prohibit access include deleting the accounts and registration information of specific vendor users and / or customer users, or prohibiting access from specific IP addresses.

[0078] By banning specific vendor users and / or customer users from using the system, other users of the system can use it with peace of mind.

[0079] 1.4.3. Product data update process for default products System operators prefer to update product data for default products based on specific conditions, such as seasonality or best-selling items. By implementing this process, it becomes possible to update the products offered on a company's e-commerce site in a way that makes it easier for sellers to navigate and more likely to be chosen by shoppers. Note that the "product data update process for default products" corresponds to the "update method".

[0080] 1.4. Effects Since the system of the first embodiment can perform each of the processes detailed above, it can provide a system, program, and method that makes it easier for people to learn about their store and / or products, even for those who have just started a business or have a small number of products.

[0081] 2. Other Embodiments Furthermore, the "notifications" performed within various processes can be disabled by the shopper user and / or the seller user through their settings.

[0082] Furthermore, the system according to the present invention may be made capable of using the unique domain of each seller user. By doing so, unlike conventional platforms, the degree of freedom in developing the constructed e-commerce site can be improved. [Explanation of Symbols]
