Description

The present invention relates to a system for selling goods via the Internet.

Generally, a technique for selling a product via the Internet is known. From the user's point of view, since the product can be purchased via the Internet, it is possible to purchase the product at home or the like, which has the advantage of saving the trouble of visiting the store directly.

The system for selling products via the Internet has been devised so that users can easily reach the products they are looking for.

For example, by inputting search conditions such as product name / manufacturer name and price, there is a device such as displaying a list that matches the conditions on the screen, and the user can follow the desired product. It will be easier to get there.

However, while it becomes easier to reach the product, the above-mentioned device lacks the sense of presence as when going to a physical store.

From the seller's point of view, there is also the problem that the induced buying that occurs when going to a physical store does not occur. In other words, when I went to a physical store, I saw various products before I arrived at that product, so I didn't want it at first because I wanted other products that I saw on the spot. Induced buying may occur in which products other than the product are purchased together. From the point of view of the seller, one of the highlights of sales is whether it is possible to generate such induced buying and improve sales by devising the display mode. However, such a triggered purchase cannot be generated in a system in which only products that meet the conditions are displayed on the screen by inputting and searching for the search conditions.

As a device that leads to such a triggered purchase or a device that creates a sense of presence, there is a device such as Patent Document 1.

JP-A-2009-48281

≪Functions of display image holding unit, display image output unit, product attribute information holding unit, and product identification unit≫
The product sales system in this embodiment needs to have a function for allowing the user to display and specify the product being sold by using the graphic user interface.

The "display image holding unit" has a function of holding a display image which is an image showing a display state of a product in a store. The information to be retained may be image data showing the display state in the actual store, such as a photograph of a display shelf in the actual store, or a virtual generation of a display image in which the product is displayed in the store. Is also good.

It is desirable that the display image of the product can be expected to increase the purchase motivation of the user by devising the display mode. For example, wine in a wine cellar, shortcake in a small case, electronic devices on the shelves, sake on the shelves, snacks on the shelves, clothes worn by mannequins, and sashimi. Foods such as side dishes that look delicious can be mentioned by devising the attachment.

Further, the product display image may have a function of displaying a mark for a product specified by another user in real time in the product specifying unit. With this function, the user can know the degree of attention of the marked product, and can know the urgency of purchase depending on the inventory status. In addition, from the point of view of the seller, there is an effect that the users can compete and purchase the products in the limited inventory on a first-come, first-served basis, which leads to the improvement of sales.

Examples of the "commodity" in the present embodiment include new or used books, products such as cosmetics and clothing, alcoholic beverages such as wine and sake, and foods such as confectionery and lunch boxes. From the viewpoint of improving the economic effect of induced buying, which is one of the aims of the present invention, the target "product" is a product that can be purchased on the spot even if it is not intended to be purchased in advance. Alternatively, it is desirable that the product has a high visual customer attraction. Books are an example of the former.

Next, it is desirable that the display mode in the display image is similar to the scene that the user sees in the actual store. Specifically, if the books are new or used, they may be arranged side by side so that the spine can be recognized, or the same books can be stacked vertically with the cover facing up. In such an embodiment, for example, items of the same or similar types may be displayed, or items of different types may be displayed so as to be visible. In addition, it is conceivable that many books are mixed in a box such as a box, and the books are squeezed out, mainly in used books. According to these aspects, if there is already a product that the user is looking for, there is a possibility that a triggered purchase will be made for the surrounding products, while the product that is clearly requested has not yet been decided. However, you can enjoy searching for products as if you were in a physical store.

The "display image output unit" has a function of outputting a display image held in the display image holding unit. The display image is output to the user, for example, via a network. As a result, the user can recognize the displayed image.

In the case of food and drink, the taste, expiration date, expiration date, and if there is a catalog, the product number described in the catalog, etc. can be considered. For example, in the case of books, product images, titles, editions, distinction between used and new, degree of used in the case of used, author name, publisher, table of contents / summary, price, publication date, ISBM code, etc. can be mentioned. .. Furthermore, since it may be a virtual product display image, the owner of the product may be different. In that case, the owner name is also included in the "product attribute".

By associating the attribute of the product with the position or the image, the user can obtain the attribute information of the product for the specified product when the product is specified. When associated with an "image", even if the product image is deleted from the display shelf when the product is out of stock, the image and product attribute information will be displayed when the product image is placed on the display shelf again when the product arrives. It is convenient because there is no need to associate. In addition, when associated with an "image", it is possible to extract product attribute information from an image sent from a user in an image search, that is, a search using an image such as a photograph held by the user. become. Thereby, for example, it is possible to arrive at the display image including the wine only by sending the image of the desired wine.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the contents of holding of the product attribute information holding unit. For example, for "(X ₀ Y ₀ )-(X ₀ Y ₁ )-(X ₃ Y ₁ )-(X ₃ Y ₀ )" corresponding to the image of the book titled "a", the title "a" , The information of the author "Tanaka ..." and the publisher "Company A" is retained. _{Further, for "(X 0} Y ₂ )-(X ₀ Y ₃ )-(X ₁ Y ₃ )-(X ₁ Y ₂ )" corresponding to the image of the book titled "b", the title "b" , The information of the author "Suzuki ..." and the publisher "△ Publishing" is retained. _{Further, for "(X 0} Y ₄ )-(X ₀ Y ₅ )-(X ₂ Y ₅ )-(X ₂ Y ₄ )" corresponding to the image of the book titled "c", the title "c" , The information of the author "Sato ..." and the publisher "~ kan" is retained. The information held here is a part of the information actually held, and in reality, the product image, version number, distinction between used and new, the degree of used in the case of used, and the table of contents.・ It is natural that the abstract, price, publication date, ISBM code, etc. can be retained.

Further, the "product identification unit" is a function of specifying a product based on the position corresponding to the position designation by the pointing device in the output display image using the graphic user interface or the product attribute information associated with the image. Has. Graphic user interface is one of the types of user interface, and it is a method that uses many images and figures to present information and can perform most of the basic operations by instructing the position on the screen. Means. The pointing device exists in the terminal on the user side, and specific examples thereof include a mouse and a touch panel. The product identification unit will receive the coordinate information specified by the pointing device.

Further, the product specifying unit may include a specific product mark display means for displaying a mark on a position or an image associated with the product attribute information of the specified product. As a result, the user can distinguish the products specified in the past on the screen, and it becomes possible to select a plurality of candidates and then select the product to be actually purchased.

With the above functions, the user can identify the desired product while viewing, for example, the product display image displayed on the display.
