Specifically, the settlement unit 334 transmits a notification instructing settlement using the identified settlement method to the settlement system 60 via the Internet 20.

  Next, the operation of the product purchase system 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. In addition, the user is registered as a member by the member registration process in advance, and various information such as address, name, interest, and settlement method is registered in the member DB 321 or the recording medium 40, and is recorded in the user by mail or the like. A medium 40 is distributed. Furthermore, when planning an overseas trip, the user notifies the site management server 30 of the return flight information via the terminal device 10 or the telephone, and the returned return flight information is registered in the member DB 321.

  The user performs a predetermined operation from the input unit 11 of the terminal device 10, and in response to the operation, the control unit 16 executes the application program 151 stored in the storage unit 15 to obtain an application for purchasing a product. Start (step S101). When the application is activated, a message such as “Please hold your membership card” is displayed on the display unit 12 of the terminal device 10.

  In accordance with this message, the user brings his / her recording medium 40 close to the terminal device 10. The reading unit 13 reads the URL and the medium identification information from the recording medium 40 by non-contact communication (S102). If information such as the user's name and address is stored in the recording medium 40, the reading unit 13 also reads these information.

  Subsequently, the control unit 16 of the terminal device 10 accesses the site operation server 30 with the read URL, and transmits the read medium identification information to the site operation server 30 (step S103).

  When the medium identification information is received, the control unit 33 of the site management server 30 determines the display content of the shopping site to be displayed on the terminal device 10 based on the medium identification information (step S104).

  Specifically, the control unit 33 specifies a record in the member DB 321 having the received medium identification information. And the control part 33 should just determine the display content of a shopping site based on the user's language and interest contained in the specified record. For example, if the language used by the user is “English”, the control unit 33 determines that the shopping site notation and voice are to be English. Further, if the user's interest is “game”, the control unit 33 determines to display information related to the popular game in the recommended product column of the shopping site.

  Subsequently, the control unit 33 transmits the screen data of the shopping site whose display content is determined to the terminal device 10 (step S105). Thereby, the shopping site screen (product search screen) as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 12 of the terminal device 10 (step S106). This product search screen reflects the display content determined in step S104.

  Subsequently, the user operates the input unit 11 of the terminal device 10 to search for a product from the search area E1 of the product search screen, or to select a product displayed in the recommended product column E2. Then, a product purchase screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. The user operates the input unit 11 to select a delivery destination from the delivery destination designation area E3 on the product purchase screen, and then clicks a “purchase” button E4. In response to this operation, the control unit 16 transmits a product purchase request to the site management server 30 (step S107). The merchandise purchase request includes the selection contents of the delivery destination designation area E3.

  Upon receiving the product purchase request, the control unit 33 of the site management server 30 executes a delivery process for delivering the purchased product to the designated delivery destination (step S108).

  For example, when “deliver to home” is selected from the delivery destination designation area E3 on the product purchase screen, the control unit 33 identifies the record of the member DB 321 having the medium identification information received from the terminal device 10, and from the record Get the user's address. And the control part 33 should just transmit the delivery request which instruct | indicates to deliver the purchased goods addressed to the acquired address to the delivery system 70. FIG.

  Further, for example, when “return home delivery” is selected from the delivery destination designation area E3 on the product purchase screen, the control unit 33 specifies the record of the member DB 321 having the medium identification information received from the terminal device 10, and Get return flight information from the record. Then, the control unit 33 refers to the acquired return flight information, and instructs the delivery request that the purchased product arrives at the airport a predetermined time before the scheduled departure time of the return flight (for example, 3 hours). May be transmitted to the delivery system 70.

  Further, for example, when “direct input” is selected from the delivery destination designation area E3 on the product purchase screen, the control unit 33 instructs delivery of the product purchased to the address input from the product purchase screen. The request may be transmitted to the delivery system 70.

  When the process for delivering the product is completed, the control unit 33 of the site management server 30 executes a settlement process for settlement of the purchased product (step S109).

  Specifically, the control unit 33 specifies a record in the member DB 321 having the received medium identification information. And the control part 33 should just perform a payment process with the payment method contained in the specified record.

For example, if the payment method is credit payment, the control unit 33 transmits a payment request to the payment system 60 of the corresponding credit company. This settlement request includes information necessary for settlement such as a user's credit number. Credit payment may be performed without using such a mechanism. In this case, the credit number is registered in the shopping site in advance, or the user operates the input unit 11 to display the screen of the shopping site. It is necessary to enter the credit number from above, and the registered or entered credit number will be leaked to a third party, or the publisher may abuse the registered or entered credit number to purchase or make reservations for other products There is a risk of being used for such purposes. In addition, some major sites have a mechanism for registering credit numbers, but if a registered credit number is leaked to the outside, third parties can easily receive shopping and services using the leaked credit number. There is also a risk that it will be possible.
Therefore, if the recording medium 40 (IC card) is provided with an electronic money function (or using the recording medium 40 originally provided with the electronic money function) and settled, if there is no recording medium 40 on the spot, the settlement is made. Since it is not possible, it is difficult to illegally use just by knowing the credit number, etc., and it becomes possible to settle more safely.
This electronic money settlement mechanism (program) may be included in the same application as the shopping site access application (application program 151), or another application dedicated to electronic money settlement may be used. In the latter case, since the credit information or the like is not required to be known to the shopping site, the possibility of unauthorized use can be further reduced.
Further, when a product purchased at a shopping site is settled with electronic money, the settlement unit 334 of the site management server 30 determines the type of the electronic money and places the terminal device 10 in a suitable settlement site (settlement system 60). You may make it make it access automatically. For example, in the case of settlement using watermelon (registered trademark), the settlement unit 334 transmits the URL of the settlement site for watermelon (registered trademark) to the terminal device 10 and causes the terminal device 10 to access the settlement site. Also good. Alternatively, the payment unit 334 may once access the terminal device 10 to a payment proxy site or the like, and then access the terminal device 10 to a suitable payment site via the payment proxy site or the like.

  When the settlement process ends, the process of the product purchase system 1 ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a user who wants to use a shopping site can display the screen of the shopping site on the display unit 12 simply by holding his / her recording medium 40 over the terminal device 10. Therefore, there is no need to input a URL or the like, and the user can easily use the product purchase service.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the content reflecting the user's attributes (language, interest, etc.) is displayed on the shopping site displayed when the recording medium 40 is held over, the convenience of the user is improved. Can be improved.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the product purchased by the user from the shopping site is automatically delivered to the address associated with the medium identification information, the user inputs the address of the delivery destination of the product. There is no need to do this, and the operation burden on the user can be further reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the return flight information can be delivered in advance to the airport where the return flight takes off simply by registering the return flight information in advance, the user can travel while traveling abroad. It is possible to go sightseeing without having the souvenirs you bought.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the payment of the goods which the user purchased from the shopping site is automatically performed by the payment method linked | related with medium identification information, a user's operation burden is further reduced. And the payment security can be further improved.
