DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales system and a sales method using the Internet, and more particularly to a merchandise sales system and a sales method mainly for traders. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a product sales system using the Internet, generally, various types of product information are transmitted from a server to a user's terminal, and a user selects a desired product from the information and purchase desired information is transmitted to a server. Reply,
Based on this, the delivery and the settlement of the product are performed.

[0003] However, BtoB with traders as users
In the commercial transaction of, the product information contains information that differs from the content when the individual consumer is used as the user, such as the selling price that presupposes mass purchase, so that such information is not specified It needs to be hidden from a large number of users. Therefore, in the past, product information was divided into confidential and non-confidential information, confidential information was kept private, or pages containing only confidential information were transmitted in a closed state, and passwords were For example, a method of opening the file by inputting a password is used.

[0004] However, if the information such as the selling price is kept secret, the information is usually the information that the user most wants to know when purchasing the product, so that the user must separately communicate with the server side to obtain the information. Need to do,
The procedure is cumbersome and the business transaction is not smooth. Also,
As for the method of opening a closed page by entering a password, it is necessary to set a different page from the open page and open and view it separately, so the procedure for obtaining necessary information is troublesome. This hinders smooth commercial transactions.

[0005]

The main technical problem of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to encrypt confidential information in the same open page as ordinary information. , So that only specific users can easily view the information, thereby simplifying procedures and facilitating business transactions.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, a merchandise selling system according to the present invention includes a server having one or more EC stores, and a user terminal connected to the server via the Internet. The server encrypts some confidential information, including the selling price, of the merchandise information of the e-commerce store required by the user when purchasing the merchandise, and presents the other information to the user terminal in the same open page in a public form. When receiving the purchase information of the desired product and the registration number or user information for identifying the user transmitted from the user terminal, the above user information is subject to certain conditions for unregistered users. If so, the registration number and the means for decrypting the above cipher are sent.If the user information does not meet certain conditions, the transaction is refused. A function of transmitting a signal to, for users that are registered and is characterized in that it is programmed to have a function of performing the settlement and delivery of goods based on the purchase information.

[0007] In addition, according to the method for selling goods of the present invention, the information on the goods required by the user at the time of purchasing the goods, including the sales price, is transmitted from the server having one or more EC stores to the user terminal via the Internet. Steps for encrypting some confidential information and presenting other information in the same open page in a public form, identifying the purchase information of the desired product and the user from the user's terminal to the server Sending a registration number or user information to the server, from the server receiving the purchase information and the user information, to an unregistered user, when the user information meets certain conditions. Sends the registration number and the above decryption means, and sends a signal to reject the transaction if the user information does not meet certain conditions , For users who are registered,
Performing delivery and settlement of the product based on the purchase information.

According to such a sales system or a sales method of the present invention, unlike the related art, confidential information is not transmitted to a user, or a page describing only confidential information is closed. Compared to a case where the information is transmitted in a state and opened by inputting a password, only the specific user can easily view the confidential information, so that the business transaction is simplified and facilitated.

According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the cipher is a combination of numbers and / or symbols, and the decryption means replaces these numbers and symbols with regular characters. It is.

In this case, it is desirable that when the registration number is input to a user's terminal, the table is displayed on the terminal.

Alternatively, the registration number may also serve as a means for decrypting the code, and when the registration number is input to the user's terminal, the encrypted portion may be converted into regular characters.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 conceptually shows an overall configuration diagram of a product sales system using the Internet. This sales system is intended mainly for selling B2B products with a trader as a user, and includes a web server 1 and a user terminal 3 connected to the server 1 via the Internet 2.

The server 1 has an online shopping mall 4, and one or a plurality of EC stores 5 handling various commodities are affiliated with the shopping mall 4.
Has opened a store. Then, the server 1 presents the detailed product information of each of the EC stores 5 required for the product selection by the user to the user terminal 3 in characters and images to the user terminal 3 when purchasing the product, and transmits the information from the user terminal 3. The program is programmed to execute delivery and settlement of the product based on the purchase information of the desired product to be purchased.

When the server 1 presents the product information to the user terminal 3, the server 1 does not want to know a part of the information, for example, an unspecified number of users including individual consumers. Information such as the selling price, the name of the seller, or the telephone number that presupposes mass purchase of the product is encrypted as confidential information, and this encrypted information is shared with other information to be disclosed. It is also programmed to be presented in the open page of Therefore, in one open page, various kinds of publicized product information and information encrypted such as “10 cases of sale price of ☆ ◇ ★ ▽▽” are mixed.

Based on the presented product information, the user terminal 3 sends purchase information on the product desired to be purchased, a registration number for identifying the user, or specific user information obtained from the server 1 side. Is sent. Therefore, the server 1 is provided with a user identification unit 6 for identifying a user.
Is used to identify the user. This user identification section 6
The registration number of a user who has already registered as a member, and registration conditions when registering an unregistered user, for example, multiple pieces of information on the business scale, affiliation, business area, etc. Upon receiving the number or the user information, the identification unit 6 identifies the user. For an unregistered user who does not have a registration number, a determination is made as to whether the user information conforms to the registration conditions, and if so, the registration number and the encrypted The information decrypting means is transmitted to the user terminal 3, and if the user information does not meet certain conditions, a signal rejecting the transaction is transmitted to the user terminal 3.

The above information can be encrypted by using numbers, symbols, etc., alone or by appropriately combining them. On the other hand, the decoding means can be constituted by, for example, a comparison table for comparing these numbers and symbols with regular characters, and this comparison table is set to be transmitted to the user terminal 3 together with the registration number.

However, it is also possible to configure such that the comparison table is displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 3 when only the registration number is transmitted and the user inputs the registration number into the user terminal 3.

Alternatively, it is also possible to use the registration number as a means for decrypting the code and to input the registration number to the user's terminal 3 so that the encrypted part is converted into regular characters.

Thus, the newly registered user opens the information encrypted by the decryption means, and transmits the legitimate merchandise purchase information from the terminal 3 to the server 1. Then, based on the purchase information, the server 1 delivers goods to the user and performs electronic payment with the user.

On the other hand, the registered user already has means for decrypting the encrypted information, and by converting the encrypted information into legitimate information, purchases a legitimate product from the terminal 3. Since the information is transmitted, when the server 1 confirms that the user is a member from the registration number, the delivery and settlement of the product based on the purchase information are performed.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, confidential information is displayed in an encrypted form together with ordinary public information in the same open page, and only a specific user can display the genuine information. To make it easier to see, as before, confidential information is not sent to the user, or sent with the page containing only confidential information closed. As compared with a case where the password is separately opened by inputting a password, the handling of information is simpler and the business transaction can be simplified and smoothed.
