DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support system for efficiently constructing a market site (portal site) for each industry for performing electronic commerce between companies in each industry, and more particularly, to a basic system for each industry. A system that supports business model and site design decisions by performing analysis and evaluation using a database that stores historical data, as well as purchasing information including data on product buyers, product sellers, and the characteristics of those products, The present invention relates to a transaction information providing technology for providing sales information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, electronic commerce using network means such as the Internet has been carried out, and the form of commerce that has been carried out conventionally has been changing. For example, a market site has been established on the Internet, and information on traded products is presented on the homepage, and a user can purchase a product by placing an order from the page.

[0003]

However, in the related art, a store that sells and sells a specific product is realized in the form of a market site, and it depends on the product to be handled and the buyer and seller of the product. However, it could not be said that an appropriate form of market site was formed. For example, some large companies, who are product buyers, make purchases on their homepages in order to broaden the procurement sources that tend to fix the direct and indirect materials (hereinafter referred to as “purchased goods”) that they purchase. It is trying to seek a new merchandise seller (hereinafter referred to as a “vendor”) by posting information on the goods and widely disclosing the information.

[0004] However, in practice, most of the vendors accessing the above-mentioned homepage are related persons or existing business partners, and the fact that they are posted on the above-mentioned homepage does not mean that a new vendor of the purchased product is browsing. Not limited,
Therefore, there were few examples that led to new transactions. Further, when a weak organization of the purchasing network such as a university, which is a product purchaser, wants to purchase 100 new personal computers, for example, it is virtually impossible to widely transmit such spot purchase information to the outside. . For this reason,
It was difficult to get in touch with new price-competitive vendors, asking for quotes from only a few major reputable manufacturers.

Further, when each of the above-mentioned product buyers searches for a new vendor from a vast amount of information on the Web, it is unavoidable that even if various search engines are used, extra information is searched for. Was hanging too much. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of vendors, there are few cases that lead to new business with large companies, and it is difficult to have a place to contact universities and other companies. (Referred to as "sales item") has to be searched from a vast amount of Web information. For example, it is necessary to carefully search whether or not each company's homepage has a purchase information column, and if so, whether there is an inquiry that can be supplied by the vendor in the purchase information column.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a market site establishment support system capable of constructing a market site having an appropriate configuration for various industries by using characteristic data for each industry such as a product, a product purchaser, and a product seller. It is another object of the present invention to provide a transaction information providing apparatus, system, method, information recording medium, and program product capable of easily and accurately providing purchase information and sales information including the characteristic data.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a market site establishment support system according to the present invention accumulates data for each industry including at least data on characteristics of a product, a product purchaser, and a product seller. In response to database and market site establishment request for each industry,
Means for evaluating the configuration of the market site to be established using the data stored in the database, and providing the evaluation result to the construction of the market site of the required industry on the network.

For example, the database is constituted by hardware resources such as a computer and a memory, and a predetermined processing program executed by the hardware resources.

When a market site establishment request for each industry is received, the evaluation means evaluates the configuration of the market site to be established using the data accumulated in the database, and this evaluation result To build on the network of required industry market sites.

In addition, in addition to the above, in the market site establishment support system according to the present invention, when a market site establishment request is received for each industry, a fund required to establish the market site is evaluated by the evaluation means, and the market site establishment request is evaluated. Provide configuration and fund evaluation results to build on the network of required industry market sites.

Further, the market site establishment support system according to the present invention has, in addition to the above, means for accumulating data obtained by actual operation of the market site in corresponding data for each industry in a database. The data from the operated market site is reflected in the database and used for subsequent establishment support.

Further, in the market site establishment support system according to the present invention, in addition to the above, the above-mentioned evaluation processing by the evaluation means is performed in addition to the data of the industry requested to be established, and stored in a database of another industry. By using data, and taking into account data from other industries, a more appropriate market site can be constructed from a broad perspective.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a transaction information providing apparatus according to the present invention relates to purchase information including at least data relating to a product purchaser and characteristics of the purchased product, and at least a product seller and characteristics of the sales product. A transaction information providing apparatus for providing sales information including data, comprising: a purchase information subdivision unit that obtains the purchase information and subdivides the information based on a predetermined classification item; and obtains the sales information in a predetermined format. And a sales information ranking unit for performing a predetermined ranking.

As a result, for example, some large corporations who are product purchasers can acquire a vendor which is a new product seller by expanding a procurement source that tends to fix purchased goods, and An organization with a weak purchasing network can easily have a place to contact new price competitive vendors by widely disseminating spot purchasing information. In addition, the vendor can similarly connect to a large company for a new transaction, and can have a place of contact with a university or the like.

Further, in the transaction information providing device according to the present invention, the purchase information distribution unit for distributing the purchase information segmented by the purchase information segmentation unit to a corresponding product seller, and the sales information ranking unit. And a sales information delivery unit for delivering the ranked sales information to the corresponding product purchaser. Thus, when acquiring a new vendor or when a vendor acquires a product buyer, each of the above-mentioned product buyers does not need to search from a vast amount of web information, and can quickly and smoothly perform business transactions. Can be accomplished.

First, the transaction information providing apparatus 100 displays an HP (Hom) for providing information on the display unit of the product purchaser side terminal device 30 or the product seller side terminal device 40 which has been accessed.
ePage), and confirms whether the accessed person is a product purchaser or a product seller (step S).
1). Note that access to the HP is not limited to only a product purchaser or a product seller, but is free for all members who have registered as a participant in the HP.

If the person who has accessed by replying from the product purchaser side terminal device 30 or the product seller side terminal device 40 is, for example, a product purchaser (step S
2) The system shifts from the HP to the purchase screen (step S3), and inputs purchase information according to the instructions on the purchase screen (step S4).

Subsequently, the merchandise category is read out (step S5), and the purchase information is converted based on the merchandise category into a database (steps S6 and S7). The conversion of the purchase information is a process of making a searchable form for each product category regardless of industries such as machines, metals, foods, toys, and energy. Not only product categories,
You may make it a searchable form for every area category. Then, the converted purchase information is disclosed to the corresponding merchandise seller, and is automatically delivered by e-mail or the like (step S
8).

On the other hand, if the person who has accessed by reply from the product purchaser side terminal device 30 or the product seller side terminal device 40 is, for example, a product seller (step S
2) The system shifts from the HP to the sales screen (step S9), and inputs sales information in accordance with the instructions on the sales screen (step S10). Subsequently, the inputted sales information is converted into a database by a predetermined rule (steps S11 and S1).
2). The conversion of the sales information is a process of forming a ranking based on a price, a delivery date, and the like, for example. And
The converted sales information is disclosed to the corresponding product purchaser, and is automatically delivered by e-mail or the like (step S13).

According to the transaction information providing system described above, purchasing information of companies and various organizations is collected by the Internet (in some cases, facsimile or the like), and a database that can be searched for each predetermined category regardless of the industry. I like to build. For this reason, vendors do not have to browse their homepages as carefully as before,
By looking at the above database, it becomes possible to collectively retrieve and retrieve only inquiries for products that can be handled by the vendor from the purchase information of companies and various organizations nationwide. In this way, it becomes much easier for the vendor to search for purchasing information of each company, various organizations, etc., so that it is easy to build a sales network that goes beyond affiliates, territories, etc. Can greatly improve the sales force.

Also, since the purchase information of a newly registered procured item is distributed by e-mail to the vendor registered as a member on the above site, it is not necessary to spend time searching for the target information on the Internet, and the necessary information can be obtained. Information and a wide range of inquiries are automatically and promptly delivered in a timely manner, so that sales activities can be performed much more efficiently. In other words, the e-mail distribution service allows users to passively and only obtain the necessary information in a timely manner, purchasing information scattered on the Internet that could not be obtained until now by actively searching, It can increase the chances that the information on the Internet will lead to real business.

In addition, companies that have not had their own homepage or companies that have a small number of viewers because they have low visibility (especially small and medium-sized enterprises and various organizations (schools, etc.)) do not have their own purchasing information. It is possible to obtain a means of transmitting information widely through the site, and it is possible to take measures such as reducing the price of purchased goods by expanding procurement sources. In other words, SMEs and other organizations that have weak or no specialty purchasing functions will have the “purchase advertising” function as a means of starting transactions with new suppliers, thereby providing opportunities to develop new suppliers from Japan and overseas. Can be increased. On the other hand, the same effects as those described above can be obtained for sales information. In the above-described embodiment, the purchase information and the sales information have been described. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to technical information and the like.

[0072]

As apparent from the above description, the following effects can be obtained according to the present invention. That is,
