Description

  The present invention relates to a web service system, and more particularly to a web service system suitable for electronic commerce performed using a network.

  Recently, as a web application system using the Internet network, various services such as electronic commerce EC (Electronic Commerce), e-mail, information providing service, media distribution service, etc. are available via the World Wide Web (WWW) service. Provided, and has spurred business acceleration and globalization. Among them, e-commerce is expected to be applied as a business application, so many proposals have been made to improve convenience and safety, and some of them have been put into practical use and contribute to the promotion of popularization. Is known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  For example, in the system described in Patent Document 1, when an EC user uses a service or a business transaction provided by a service provider or a commercial trader (provider), the provider stores user information and a user ID in a server at the first use. Then, a predetermined client ID is issued to the user. The user can use the EC site with a simplified procedure by using the issued client ID. In addition, the electronic online commerce system disclosed in Patent Document 2 shows a price collection server that collects and charges only the personal information necessary for collecting the EC usage fee of each user for each provider.

On the other hand, proposals for supporting EC as a system for enterprises have also been made (see, for example, Patent Document 3). This system is intended for business use as an EC user, and discloses a system for managing user information and giving a proxy authority.

  However, the system described in Patent Document 1 described above has a problem that the client ID must be managed for each supplier, and the management becomes complicated. That is, the present invention is based on a one-to-N exchange between an individual user and an EC supplier, and there is a problem that the relationship between a group user such as an N-to-N company and an EC supplier cannot be handled. Further, the systems described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are based on commercial transactions between individual users and EC suppliers, and are not necessarily suitable for business use. That is, the above-mentioned EC is extremely difficult to attach to the low literal layer, and there is a problem that the low literal layer is not sufficiently incorporated. On the other hand, even in the high-literal layer, when EC is used, procedures such as member registration, ID, and password entry must be performed for each EC supplier, which causes a problem in handling. For this reason, the above-described system or the like has a limit in use as a business use.

  On the other hand, when EC is used for business use, there is a problem in that it is not used as a group (for example, a company or an organization) only by managing IDs and passwords for individuals. In particular, when a plurality of users share one ID and password and use EC in a corporation such as a company, there is a problem that it cannot be said that the purchaser is sufficiently identified and secured. For this reason, a portal site suitable for business use reflecting the needs for introducing EC as a group cannot be constructed.

Next, after the portal screen is displayed on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 in step S15 as described above, a procedure for the user to access the supplier site and make a payment will be described with reference to FIG.
When a button display (supplier button) for accessing a plurality of supplier sites 2 is displayed on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 as a portal screen in step S15, the user displays the supplier button displayed to access the desired supplier site 2 100 is pressed (step S16). In step S <b> 16, the user terminal device 10 sends user identification information (user ID) to the supplier site 2 desired by the user.

The supplier site 2 that has received the user information in step S16 transmits the information prepared in advance to display the prepared information on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 (step S17). For example, when the supplier site 2 is a site that handles merchandise, this information includes merchandise information, a purchase method, and the like.
The user selects and inputs a desired item from items such as product information displayed on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 (step S18). At this time, the user can select a plurality of items in step S18 as necessary. Then, the user who has finished selecting the item issues a payment request to the supplier site 2 to make the payment (step S19).

Then, in step S19, the supplier site 2 that has received this settlement request requests the management server 20 to log in to the supplier site with the user ID information that has issued the settlement request, in order to identify the user who has made this request. (Step S20).
In step S20, the management server 20 that has received this login request uses the received user ID and information (for example, service ID) indicating the supplier site 2 as a key, and user information (access ID information and access) that settles the supplier site 2. Log in to the supplier site 2 using the password information. That is, in step S21, the management server 20 accesses the supplier site 2 using the access ID information 51c and the access password information 51d issued in advance to the user from the supplier site 2. Then, the supplier site 2 searches the access ID information 51c for information (for example, name, address, etc.) specifying the user held in advance by the supplier site 2, and is a user who receives the provision of service and settlement. The settlement information (user information and settled item information) is sent to the user terminal device 10 to confirm whether there is an error in the service provided (step S22).

  The user who has received the payment information notifies the supplier site 2 of the final confirmation approval for accepting the payment from the user terminal device 10 (step S23). The supplier site 2 that has received the notification of the final confirmation acceptance in step 23 notifies the user of the completion of the procedure (step S24) and sends detailed information relating to the settlement to the management server 20 (step S24). S25) A series of operations is terminated.

Note that the information transmitted and received between the management server 20 and the supplier site 2 in step S19 and step S20 is preferably encrypted using a protocol such as https, but in order to further improve confidentiality, Predetermined encryption and decryption means are preferably prepared with the supplier site 2.
Specifically, the user and the supplier site 2 respectively hold key information predetermined by the supplier site 2 for each service. When the supplier site 2 receives a settlement request from the user, the supplier site 2 provides the key information to the management server 20 and encrypts information transmitted and received between the management server 20 and the supplier site 2 based on the key. Communication is executed by the encryption / decryption means (authentication execution). That is, since communication between the management server 20 and the supplier site 2 uses predetermined encryption and decryption means in addition to the protocol such as https, it is possible to prevent leakage of information specifying the user.

  Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, information (for example, name, address, etc.) that specifies the user stored in advance in the supplier site 2 is searched from the user information in step S22. May be stored in advance in the database of the management server 20, and information specifying these users may be provided to the supplier site 2 each time a settlement request is made. In this case, it is not necessary to store information for identifying the user in the supplier site 2 in advance, and the management server 20 can perform unified management, so that leakage of information for identifying the user can be further prevented.

Of course, the above-described authentication execution may be executed at an arbitrary timing predetermined for each supplier site 2.
In the above-described embodiment, when the user makes a designation by pressing the desired supplier button 100 while the plurality of supplier buttons 100 are displayed on the display unit 14, the management server 20 indicates that the user is the supplier site 2. The service account and password required to access the service account information 50c and service password information 50d held in the service account master 50 for each user ID of the user can be obtained and accessed. Therefore, even if different service accounts and service passwords are necessary for each of the plurality of supplier sites, if the service account master of the management server 20 stores these pieces of information in advance, the desired site can be easily accessed. be able to. That is, the web service system according to the first embodiment of the present invention can eliminate management of service accounts and service passwords.

  Thus, according to the web service system according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the management server 20 includes the terminal identifier information pre-assigned to the user terminal device 10, while the management server 20 determines the user terminal device 10 from the terminal identifier information. The display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 is provided with a supplier button 100 (image information) linked to the supplier site 2 laid out in advance by the dealer for each group. Can be displayed.

In particular, in the web service system of the present invention, when the supplier button 100 displayed on the user terminal device 10 is pressed, the management server 20 sends a service account and a service password to the supplier site 2 for authentication. For this reason, the user does not need to manage service accounts, passwords, and the like necessary for a plurality of supplier sites.
In the web service system of the present invention, since the management server 20 sets the access to each supplier site 2 to be permitted or not permitted by the service account status information 50c registered in the service account master 50 of the management database 40. Access to the supplier site 2 that does not need to be accessed can also be prohibited.

  Furthermore, according to the web service system of the present invention, since the management server 20 includes data display means for displaying the predetermined display data prepared in advance for each group of the user terminal devices 10 on the display unit 14, the same contract is provided. As a collective broadcast communication means within a group, it is possible to display a telop or the like facilitated in advance for each group on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 having user ID information, that is, the user terminal device 10 belonging to the same group. It is extremely effective.

Next, a web service system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the second embodiment, when the target area of the service provided from the supplier site 2 is limited, it is determined whether the local service permission means 37 is the service target area, and the installation location (installation) of the user terminal device 10 is determined. If the (region) is a service target region, the supplier button 100 is enabled (displayed), and if they do not match, the supplier button 100 is disabled (not displayed).

  Thus, the web service system according to the second embodiment of the present invention holds the area information where the user terminal device 10 is installed in the terminal area code information 41c of the terminal master 41 of the management database 40, while providing the service to the service master 46. Since each of the ID information 46a has service target area code information 46d that holds area information for enabling or disabling the supply button 100 associated with the service ID information, the terminal area code information 41c of the terminal master 41 is provided. And the service target area code information 46d of the service master 46 can be compared to enable / disable the supplier button 100.

Next, a web service system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that the layout of the plurality of supplier buttons 100 displayed on the display unit 14 is changed based on the number of usage histories using the service provided by the supplier site 2. is there.
The management server 20 aggregates records for each user ID from the service history information held by the service history master 48, and obtains the number of usages by which the user has used the supplier site 2. Then, the management server 20 changes the screen layout by changing the order of the supplier buttons 100 assigned to the supplier site 2 in the order of the supplier site 2 having the largest number of usages. For example, when the supplier button 100 is arranged in a plurality of rows and columns on the display unit 14 as shown in FIG. 15, the order of the supplier buttons 100 is changed from the upper row in descending order of usage. Replace it.

  Alternatively, for example, the color of the supplier button 100 having a large number of usages may be changed to a conspicuous color display (for example, red display) without changing the layout, or may be displayed in combination. In short, the records held in the service history master 48 for each user ID are totaled to obtain the number of usages that have received the service, and the user can easily use the supplier buttons 100 of the supplier site 2 that have a large number of usages. You can re-lay out or change the display color.

  When the display layout of the user terminal devices 10 belonging to the same group (same contractor) is changed, the contractor ID information 47b is extracted from the account master 47 user ID information 47a, and the supplier for each user ID information of each record. The usage frequency for each contractor is obtained by obtaining the usage count for Site 2 and adding the obtained usage count. Then, the screen layout generation means 34 changes the layout of the supplier button 100 in order of increasing usage frequency.

  Thus, according to the web service system according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the display order of the supplier buttons 100 in the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 is changed in order of the supplier site 2 having the largest number of usages by the user. Since the change is made, the user can easily access the supplier site 2 having a large number of usages. In addition, since it is possible to lay out in order of the supplier site 2 having the largest number of usages in the contractor (group), for example, convenience in the same group can be improved.

Next, a web service system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment in that when there is an unread mail on the mail server 3 used by the user, a message indicating that there is an unread mail is displayed on the display unit 14.
In the fourth embodiment, after the user authentication is completed as described above, the management server 20 uses the user ID of the user from the mail account master 49 as a key, and sends the user account from the mail account information 49c and the password information 49d. Get mail count and password respectively. Then, the unread mail checking means 38 of the management server 20 accesses the mail server 3 using the acquired mail count and password, and inquires whether there is unread mail of the user. As a result of the inquiry, the management server 20 that has received a notification from the mail server 3 that there is an unread mail of the user flashes the display of the mail confirmation button 102b, changes the display color, or displays a telop, although not particularly shown. The fact that there is an unread mail in the area 101 is displayed.

Thus, in the web service system of the present invention, in addition to the supplier button 100 laid out as described above, the user can know the presence / absence of unread mail through the mail confirmation button 102b and the telop display area 101.
Next, a web service system according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the management server 20 checks unread mail in the mail server 3 as in the fourth embodiment described above. However, the difference from the fourth embodiment is that the same contractor (same The unread mail of a plurality of users belonging to the group) is confirmed, and the presence / absence of unread mail of each user is displayed.

  First, the management server 20 obtains the mail count and password of each user from the mail account information 49c and password information 49d of each user from the mail account master 49 for a plurality of users who can log in using the user ID of each user as a key. . Then, the unread mail checking means 38 of the management server 20 accesses the mail server 3 using the acquired mail count and password, and inquires whether there is an unread mail of each user. As a result of the inquiry, the management server 20 that has received notification from the mail server 3 that the user has unread mail blinks or displays the display of the unread mail display button 103 of the user who has unread mail, for example, as shown in FIG. While changing the color, the user who has no unread mail does not blink or change the display color (unread mail display button 104).

Alternatively, the fifth embodiment of the present invention may display that there is an unread mail in the telop display area 101, although not particularly shown.
Thus, the web service system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention can know from the user terminal devices 10 belonging to the same group whether or not users belonging to the same contractor (same group) have unread mail.

  In addition, when switching and using the user who uses the same user terminal device 10, the user switching button 102a shown in FIG. 15 is pushed down. Then, the management server 20 displays a user selection button 110 for selecting a plurality of users belonging to the same contractor (same group) on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 as shown in FIG. Then, the user who wants to log in presses the user selection button 110 of the corresponding user. Then, the login procedure described above is executed between the user terminal device 10 and the management server 20, and the user is switched.

  In addition, when using the web service system of the present invention as a supplement, for example, an administrator or management company that manages the management server 20 needs to register user information in the management server 20 using the operator terminal 4. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a procedure for registering the user information. First, the user sends a registration screen request to the management server 20 from the input unit 15 of the user terminal device 10 (step S26). Receiving this registration screen request, the management server 20 outputs a predetermined new registration screen (not specifically shown) to the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10 (step S27).

  The user inputs the telephone number displayed on the display unit 14 from the input unit 15 and calls the operator using the handset 16 (step S28). When receiving the phone call from the user, the operator requests the management server 20 from the operator terminal 4 operated by the operator for a registration screen including the contents displayed on the user display unit 14 (step S29). When receiving a request from the operator, the management server 20 outputs a new registration screen to the operator terminal 4 (step S30).

  Then, after a new registration screen is output to each of the user terminal device 10 and the operator terminal 4, the operator receives user information necessary for the new registration through a call (step S31), and the user information is added to the new registration screen. The proxy is input (step S32). At this time, the user information input by the operator is simultaneously displayed on the display unit 14 of the user terminal device 10.

  The operator who completes the proxy input of the user information in this manner causes the user to confirm whether or not the registration information displayed on the display unit 14 is correct (step S33), and then receives an arbitrary password from the user. Input (step S34). This password is held in the management server 20 without the operator's knowledge. When the password input is completed, the management server 20 notifies the operator that the new registration is completed via the operator terminal 4 (step S35) and issues a user ID to the user (step S36). .

The user ID and password issued in this way are held in the user ID information 47a and password information 47c of the account master 47, respectively.
Therefore, the web service system can be sufficiently incorporated even in a low-literal layer where procedures such as member registration, ID, and password entry are not applied.
