For example, when a product is a food, if a certain user purchases a specific food or a specific category of food in a biased manner, present the summary information indicating the fact, and provide a separate meal for a well-balanced meal. It is possible to recommend the purchase of a product (food). As an example, every morning at breakfast 1
If a user buys only one cola, and it lasts for a few days, he can recommend vegetable juice or milk instead of cola. In addition, we sometimes recommend the purchase of rice balls instead of anpan and boiled eggs. At that time, if you just recommend it, it will be a push sale, but together with the summary information showing the user's recent eating habits, it is suggested that the recent intake of vitamins and calcium is likely to be insufficient. Teaching makes the user feel useful advice, not push-sell. Also, when recommending vegetable juices, instead of simply saying, "Would you like to buy vegetable juices?", "XX vegetable juices contain a lot of calcium that modern people tend to lack, and this week 10 yen more than usual By showing a specific product brand like
It can even suggest that the user be more likely to take specific purchasing actions. Such advice can be obtained by registering the purchase history record for each contract user M1 and obtaining the summary information obtained by analyzing the purchase history record by the summary calculation unit 7. Providing the summary information has an effect that it can be used for personal life management in various aspects. For example, if the product is a food, providing the summary information on the food can provide information useful for health management. In addition, if the product is a daily necessity, providing the summary information on the daily necessity can provide useful information for the daily necessity maintenance.

In addition, since the purchase history record is registered for each contract user, the recommended merchandise information, the description content of the condition part, and the summary information, which are different for each contract user, are provided. It is possible to provide detailed information. Further, for the store, by providing the recommended product information, the description content of the condition section, and the summary information, there is an effect that the contract user can be a fixed customer of the store.
