  In addition, the storage unit 13 stores information on various Web page screens provided to the user terminal 1. The information on the Web page screen is described in a language such as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), for example, but may be described in a language other than HTML. Examples of the Web page screen provided to the user terminal 1 include a user registration screen, a menu list screen for food and drink, which will be described later.

  The network interface unit 17 transmits and receives information to and from other devices (the user terminal 1 and the retail store terminal 21) via the Internet 30.

  The user information database 14 stores information on each user in association with user identification information (user ID) for identifying each user. FIG. 2 shows an example of information stored in the user information database 14. As shown in FIG. 2, the user information database 14 corresponds to the user ID, and as information about the user, the user terminal ID, the user's name, the delivery destination when the ordered food is delivered, the contact information, the user's preference Store information and so on. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the telephone number of the user is shown as the contact address. Moreover, although preference information is information regarding a user's preference, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the food which a user dislikes is shown.

  As will be described later, the user performs user registration. The control unit 12 of the business server 11 assigns a user ID to the user at the time of user registration. Then, each information such as the name transmitted from the user terminal 1 is stored in the user information database 14 as illustrated in FIG. 2 in association with the user ID. In the example shown in FIG. 2, only one person's information is shown, but the user information database 14 stores information on each user who has performed user registration.

  The retail store information database 15 is associated with the retail store identification information (retail store ID) for identifying each retail store, the ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by each retail store, and information (sales for the retail store) Person information) and the address of the retail store terminal 21 are stored. FIG. 3 shows an example of information stored in the retail store information database 15. As shown in FIG. 3, the retail store information database 15 corresponds to the retail store ID, and includes information on the retail store (seller information) such as business hours, store position (location), and price of each product (each food). In addition, information such as an inventory amount of each product (each food material) and a delivery mode of the ordered product is stored. The retail store information database 15 stores the address of the retail store terminal 21 (in this example, an e-mail address) in association with the retail store ID.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, information on the ingredients sold by the retail store is included in the information on the price of each product and the inventory amount of each product. In this way, information on ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by retail stores may be included in the seller information.

  The “delivery mode” illustrated in FIG. 3 indicates information of “delivery possible”, “delivery at store”, and “reservation allowed”. “Delivery is possible” indicates that when the user desires delivery of food, the food is delivered to the user by delivery. “Acceptable at store” indicates that when the user wishes to deliver at the store, the food is delivered to the user who visited the store. “Reservation is possible” means that if the user desires, the seller (in this example, a retail store) keeps the ordered item, and when the user places an order separately, It means to deliver together, or to deliver an item that has been deposited at a timing desired by the user.

  The retail store ID may be assigned by the control unit 12 when the retail store performs retail store registration similar to user registration, for example. When assigning the retail store ID, the control unit 12 transmits the retail store ID to the retail store terminal 21 of the retail store that has registered the retail store. As will be described later, the retail store terminal 21 is associated with the retail store ID, information related to the retail store, information on ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by the retail store, and the retail store of the retail store. The address of the terminal 21 is stored. And when the information regarding a retail store, etc. are changed, the retail store terminal 21 has the information regarding the retail store, the information about the retail store, and the information on the ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by the retail store. And the like are transmitted to the business server 11, and the information corresponding to the retail store ID is updated.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, only one retail store information is shown, but the retail store information database 15 stores information on a plurality of retail stores.

  Menu information database 16 memorizes the information on the foodstuff which is the component of the food and drink for every food and drink. The information on the ingredients may include information on the quantity of ingredients used when cooking the food. When a certain food or drink is cooked using a plurality of ingredients, the menu information database 16 stores information on the plurality of ingredients corresponding to the food or drink. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the menu information database 16 stores information on the cooking method of the food and drink (that is, the method for manufacturing the article) in addition to the information on the food in association with the food and drink. FIG. 4 shows an example of information stored in the menu information database 16. In the example shown in FIG. 4, food P and food W used for cooking “curry and rice” are stored in association with food and drink “curry and rice”. Although not shown in FIG. 4, the menu information database 16 also stores information on ingredients other than the ingredients P and W in association with “curry and rice”. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the menu information database 16 also stores information on the quantity of each ingredient used when cooking food and drink such as “curry and rice” and the cooking method of the ingredient.

  Further, the menu information database 16 stores information on ingredients used instead of the ingredients when the ingredients correspond to the ingredients that the user dislikes or when there is no inventory of the ingredients at the retail store (stuff replacement information). Also remember. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, foods that the user dislikes or foods that are not in stock and foods that are used in place of the foods are stored in association with food and drink such as “curry and rice”. With this information, when a food item that a user dislikes or a food item that is out of stock is included in a food item, the control unit 12 of the business entity server 11 specifies a food item that substitutes for the food item. Can do. For example, a case where the user designates curry rice and orders food ingredients for curry rice will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 4, when the beef, which is an ingredient of curry and rice, is an ingredient that the user dislikes, or an ingredient that is not in stock at the retail store, the control unit 12 is based on the information illustrated in FIG. 4. As a curry rice ingredient, chicken information is extracted instead of beef.

  The retail store terminal 21 is an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer. In the retail store terminal 21, the control unit 22 performs processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 23. For example, the control unit 22 prompts the business server 11 to update the retail store information database 15 by receiving processing for receiving ordering information from the business server 11 and transmitting merchant information to the business server 11. Processing, processing for authenticating a user who has visited the store, and the like are performed according to the program.

  The storage unit 23 stores a program. In addition, the storage unit 23 stores, in correspondence with the retail store ID, the ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by each retail store, information about the retail store (seller information), and the address of the retail store terminal 21. To do. FIG. 5 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit 23 of the retail store terminal 21. As shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 23 corresponds to the retail store ID, and stores information on the retail store (seller information), such as business hours, store position (location), price of each product (each food), Information such as the stock quantity of the product (each food) and the delivery mode of the ordered product is stored. The storage unit 23 stores the address of the retail store terminal 21 (in this example, an e-mail address) in association with the retail store ID. In the example shown in FIG. 5, information on the ingredients sold by the retail store is included in the information on the price of each product and the inventory amount of each product. In this way, information on ingredients (components of food and drink) sold by retail stores may be included in the seller information.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the storage unit 23 stores the same information as the retail store information database 15 of the business server 21. However, the storage unit 23 stores information on a retail store that manages the retail store terminal 21 including the storage unit 23, but does not store information on other retail stores. This is different from the retail store information database 15.

  The operation unit 24 is an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. An operation for updating information stored in the storage unit 23 is performed via the operation unit 24. The display unit 25 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The network interface unit 27 transmits / receives information to / from another device (the business server 11) via the Internet 30.

  The short-range wireless communication unit 26 is a communication interface that directly transmits and receives information to and from other devices. The short-range wireless communication unit 26 transmits and receives information by, for example, infrared communication, but is not limited to infrared communication. In the present embodiment, the retail store terminal 21 transmits and receives information to and from the user terminal 1 by using the short-range wireless communication unit 26 as a communication interface. That is, the retail store terminal 21 and the user terminal 1 directly transmit and receive information wirelessly using the short-range wireless communication unit 26 and the short-range wireless communication unit 6 as communication interfaces, respectively.

  The control unit 22 of the retail store terminal 21 prompts the business server 21 to update the retail store information database 15 by transmitting the information stored in the storage unit 23 (see FIG. 5) to the business server 21. When the control unit 22 determines that the seller information stored in the storage unit 23 (or information or address of the ingredients sold by the retail store) has been changed via the operation unit 24, the control unit 22 sets the retail store ID and the retail store ID. The seller information stored correspondingly, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, and the address may be transmitted to the business server 21. As described above, in the present embodiment, information on ingredients sold by the retail store is included in the seller information. In addition, when the controller 22 detects, for example, the seller information, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, or the overwrite save operation for the address, the seller information, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, or the address What is necessary is just to determine with having changed.

  The control unit 12 of the business server 11 updates the retail store information database 15 when the retailer ID, the seller information, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, and the address are received from the retail store terminal 21. Specifically, among the information stored in the retail store information database 15, the seller information stored in association with the received retail store ID, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, and the address are stored in the retail store. The information is overwritten with the seller information received from the store terminal 21, the information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, and the address.

  In addition, the control unit 22 of the retail store terminal 21 stores the merchant information stored corresponding to the retail store ID and the retail store ID, information on the ingredients sold by the retail store, and The address may be transmitted to the operator server 21. In this case, the control unit 22 does not need to determine whether or not the seller information or the like has been changed, and may transmit the store ID and the seller information to the business server 21 periodically. The operation of the business server 11 when receiving the retailer ID, the seller information, the information on the ingredients sold by the retailer, and the address is the same as the operation already described. Therefore, in this case, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 periodically overwrites information corresponding to one retail store ID.

  Next, the operation at the time of user registration will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing progress at the time of user registration. At the time of user registration, the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 requests a user registration screen from the business operator server 11 via the Internet 30 in accordance with a user operation (step S81). In response to a request from the user terminal 1, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 transmits information on the user registration screen to the user terminal 1 (step S82). When receiving the information on the user registration screen, the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 displays the user registration screen on the display unit 5 (step S83). The user registration screen is, for example, a user terminal ID that is identification information of a user terminal, a user's name, a delivery destination when delivering ordered food, a contact information (for example, a telephone number), and user preference information (for example, a user's dislike) The input field such as (information on various foods) is provided. The control unit 2 receives information such as a user terminal ID and a user name in each input field on the user registration screen. Here, it is assumed that the user has determined the user terminal ID.

  Subsequently, the control unit 2 transmits information (user terminal ID, name, delivery address, contact information, preference information, etc.) input on the user registration screen to the business server 11 in accordance with the user operation ( Step S84). The control part 12 of the provider server 11 receives this information from the user terminal 1 (step S85).

  When receiving the information such as the user's name, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 assigns a user ID to the user (step S86). At this time, the control unit 12 assigns a new user ID so as not to overlap with the existing user ID. Subsequently, the control unit 12 stores the newly assigned user ID in the user information database 14 in association with the user terminal ID, name, delivery destination, contact information, preference information, and the like received in step S85 (step S85). S87).

  Next, the control unit 12 transmits the user ID assigned in step S86 to the user terminal 1 (step S88), and the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 receives this user ID (step S89). The control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 displays the received user ID on the display unit 5 (step S90). The control unit 2 notifies the user of the user ID by displaying the user ID.

  By completing the above user registration, the user can specify food and drink and order food and drink.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of ordering the component (foodstuff) of the articles | goods (food / beverage) designated from the user terminal 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing progress when ordering a component (food) of an article (food) specified from the user terminal 1.

  First, the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 requests a menu list screen from the operator server 11 via the Internet 30 in accordance with a user operation (step S101). In response to a request from the user terminal 1, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 transmits information on the menu list screen to the user terminal 1 (step S102).

  When receiving the information on the menu list screen, the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 displays the menu list screen on the display unit 5 (step S103). FIG. 8 shows an example of a menu list screen. As shown in FIG. 8, the menu list screen includes a menu list field 51 that prompts the user to specify an article (food and drinks in this example), and a purchase condition input field 52 in which purchase conditions for food and drink components (foodstuffs) are input. And a user ID input field 53 and a transmission button 54 for instructing transmission to the operator server 11. The menu list column 51 illustrated in FIG. 8 lists a plurality of foods and drinks such as “fried shrimp”, “katsudon”, “fried chicken”, “curry rice”, and the like, and is a column corresponding to any food or drink. Encourage selection. When any one of the columns 51a to 51d included in the menu list column 51 is selected, the control unit 2 determines that the food or drink corresponding to the column is specified.

  In addition, the purchase condition input field 52 illustrated in FIG. 8 is displayed so as to input a method for receiving the ingredients desired by the user as the purchase condition. When one of the radio buttons corresponding to "delivery request", "reception request at retail store", or "reservation request" is operated, the control unit 2 designates the reception method corresponding to the radio button. It is determined that Further, the purchase condition input field 52 also includes a radio button capable of designating a purchase condition “purchase from a retail store with the lowest price”. When this radio button is operated, the control unit 2 determines that the purchase condition “purchase from the retail store with the lowest price” is designated.

  In the input field 53, the user ID notified at the time of user registration is input.

  When the send button 54 is operated, the control unit 2 sends the order information to the business server 11 based on the information specified on the menu list screen (step S104). The order information is information including information for specifying food and drink (article specification information) and purchase conditions for food. The order information also includes the user ID input in the input field 53. The control unit 12 of the business server 11 receives order information from the user terminal 1 (step S105).

  Next, the control part 12 refers to the information which designates food / beverage among the information contained in order information. And the information of the foodstuff according to the food / beverage specified by the information is extracted from the menu information database 16 (step S106). For example, it is assumed that “curry and rice” is specified in the information specifying food and drink. In this case, the control unit 12 searches the information stored in the menu information database 16 and extracts information on each food material corresponding to “curry rice”. When the menu information database 16 stores the information illustrated in FIG. 4, the control unit 12 displays the information about the ingredients P and ingredients W corresponding to “curry rice” and the quantity information of the ingredients. Extract from the database 16.

  Next, the control unit 12 orders food based on the information on each food extracted in step S106, the purchase conditions included in the order information received in step S105, and the information stored in the retail store information database 15. A previous retail store is specified (step S107). First, the control unit 12 specifies each ingredient indicated by the information extracted in step S106. And control part 12 is a retail store which sells the foodstuff for every foodstuff, and specifies a retail store which satisfies purchase conditions. Specifically, the control unit 12 specifies the retail store ID in step S107. Since the retail store ID and the retail store correspond one-on-one, specifying the retail store ID is synonymous with specifying the retail store.

  For example, it is assumed that food P is included in each food indicated by the information extracted in step S106. Then, the control unit 12 searches for the retail store ID that sells the food P based on the information stored in the retail store information database 15. Since the retail store information database 15 stores information on the ingredients sold by the retail store in association with the retail store ID, the retail store ID of the retail store that sells a specific ingredient such as the ingredient P is stored. Can be identified. Further, the control unit 12 includes seller information corresponding to the searched retail store ID (for example, business hours, store position, price of each product, inventory amount of each product, delivery mode of the ordered product, etc.), By comparing with the purchase conditions received in step S105, the retailer ID for which the seller information satisfies the purchase conditions is specified.

  If the purchase condition includes the content “desired delivery”, the control unit 12 specifies a retail store ID whose “delivery mode (see FIG. 3)” includes information “delivery possible”. In addition, if the purchase condition includes the content “desired to receive at the retail store”, the control unit 12 identifies the retail store ID whose content “delivery mode” includes “can be delivered at the store”. To do. If the purchase condition includes the content of “reservation desired”, the control unit 12 specifies a retail store ID whose “delivery mode” includes information that “reservation is possible”.

  Further, when the purchase condition includes the content “purchase from a retail store with the lowest price”, the price of the food P is selected from the retail stores of the food P specified based on other purchase conditions. The retail store ID of the retail store that is set to the lowest is specified.

  In addition, when a some retail store is specified as a retail store of the foodstuff P, one of them is selected. This selection method is not particularly limited. For example, the retail store closest to the user's delivery destination may be selected.

  Here, although the case where the retail store which becomes the ordering party of the foodstuff P is specified was described as an example, the retail shop which becomes the ordering party of the foodstuff is also specified for each other foodstuff (foodstuff W etc.).

  However, when a part of the food indicated by the information extracted in step S106 is designated as the food disliked by the user in the preference information corresponding to the user ID received in step S105, the control unit 12 Replace some ingredients with other ingredients. And a retail store is specified about the replaced foodstuff. For example, it is assumed that “curry and rice” is specified in the order information, and “beef” is included in the ingredients of “curry and rice”. Then, it is assumed that the preference information “I hate beef” has been registered by the user who specified “curry and rice” at the time of user registration. In this case, the preference information “I hate beef” is associated with the user ID of the user. In step S105, the control unit 12 receives the user ID of the user. If the information extracted in step S106 includes “beef” and the preference information corresponding to the received user ID indicates that “beef is disliked”, the control unit 12 sets “beef” as the other information. Replace with ingredients. At this time, the control part 12 should just replace with another foodstuff according to the foodstuff replacement information which the menu information database 16 memorize | stores. For example, if the menu information database 16 stores the ingredient replacement information (see FIG. 4) that replaces the beef contained in the curry and rice with chicken if it dislikes, the control unit 12 follows the ingredient replacement information. The information “chicken” is extracted and “beef” is replaced with “chicken”. And the retail store which sells "chicken" is specified.

  In addition, when a part of the food indicated by the information extracted in step S106 is out of stock in the retail store that sells the food, the control unit 12 replaces the food with another food. And a retail store is specified about the replaced foodstuff. For example, it is assumed that “curry and rice” is specified in the order information, and “beef” is included in the ingredients of “curry and rice”. Then, in each retail store that sells “beef”, if the beef is out of stock, the control unit 12 replaces “beef” with other ingredients. At this time, the control part 12 should just replace with another foodstuff according to the foodstuff replacement information which the menu information database 16 memorize | stores. For example, if the menu information database 16 stores the ingredient replacement information (see FIG. 4) that replaces the beef contained in curry and rice with chicken when the beef is out of stock, the control unit 12 The information “chicken” is extracted according to the ingredient replacement information, and “beef” is replaced with “chicken”. And the retail store which sells "chicken" is specified.

  Subsequently, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 creates order information indicating an order for each retail store identified in step S107. The control part 12 should just produce the information containing the foodstuff to order, the quantity of the foodstuff, a user's name, and contact information as ordering information, for example. The quantity of ingredients may be specified based on the information extracted as the quantity of ingredients corresponding to food and drink in step S106. Moreover, what is necessary is just to identify a user's name and contact information by extracting the name and contact information corresponding to the received user ID from the user information database 14. Further, if the purchase condition includes the content “desired to deliver”, the control unit 12 also includes the delivery destination information in the ordering information. The delivery destination may also be specified by extracting the delivery destination corresponding to the received user ID from the user information database 14.

  Moreover, the control part 12 produces the collation information collated in the process of step S113 mentioned later. The verification information is created as information including a user ID. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the combination of the user ID received in step S105 and the information on the method for receiving the food specified as the purchase condition is used as collation information. Hereinafter, this verification information is referred to as receiving method information.

  The control unit 12 of the business server 11 transmits the ordering information and the receiving method information (collation information) to the retail store terminal 21 of each retail store specified as the ordering destination (step S108). At this time, the control unit 12 reads the address of the retail store terminal corresponding to each retail store ID specified in step S107 from the retail store information database 15, and reads the ordering information and the receiving method information for each retail store. Send address as destination. Each retail store terminal 21 receives the ordering information and the receiving method information (step S109).

  Moreover, the control part 12 of the provider server 11 extracts the information (refer FIG. 4) of the cooking method corresponding to the food / beverage specified by the order information received by step S105 from the menu information database 16. FIG. For example, when “curry and rice” is designated in the item designation information included in the order information, information on the cooking method of curry and rice stored in the menu information database 16 in association with “curry and rice” is extracted. . The control unit 12 transmits the receiving method information (collation information) and the cooking method information to the user terminal 1 that has transmitted the order information (step S110). Moreover, the control part 12 extracts the information (for example, store position etc.) of each retail store specified by step S107 from the retail store information database 15, and transmits the information together. The retail store information database 15 may store a retail store name or the like in advance corresponding to the retail store ID, and transmit the retail store name or the like in step S110.

  The control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 receives information on each retail store, receiving method information, and cooking method information from the operator server 11 (step S111). The control unit 111 notifies the user of each retail store and the cooking method as the ordering party by displaying the information on each retail store, the cooking method information, and the like received in step S111 on the display unit 5.

  Up to step S111 is processing related to ordering. Next, processing for receiving food (delivery by the retail store) when the user wishes to receive food at the retail store will be described. Based on the information of each retail store received in step S111, the user recognizes the retail store of the ordering party and goes to the retail store. At this time, the user carries the user terminal 1. In the retail store, the control unit 2 of the user terminal 1 transmits the receiving method information received in step S111 to the retail store terminal 21 via the short-range wireless communication unit 6 in accordance with the user operation (step S112). ). The control unit 22 of the retail store terminal 21 receives the receiving method information via the short-range wireless communication unit 26.

  Subsequently, the control unit 22 of the retail store terminal 21 collates the receiving method information received from the user terminal 1 via the short-range wireless communication unit 26 with the receiving method information received in step S109. It is authenticated whether the user has actually placed an order (step S113). At this time, if the receiving method information matches, the control unit 22 determines that the authentication is successful, and displays the fact on the display unit 25. The retail store confirms that the authentication has been successful, and performs settlement and delivery of food materials with the user.

  In addition, when the authentication is successful, the control unit 22 may record in the storage unit 23, for example, the completion of the payment and delivery of the ordered food (step S114).

  According to the present invention, since a retail store that satisfies the purchase conditions is specified and ordering information is transmitted to the retail store, the user can easily purchase food, and the convenience of the user can be improved. Moreover, since the information of each foodstuff of the designated food / beverage is extracted by step S106, forgetting to purchase foodstuff etc. can be prevented.

  In steps S110 and S111, since the information on the retail store specified by the business server 11 is transmitted and received, the user can know at which retail store the food should be purchased. That is, it is possible to know which retail store to go to. Therefore, the burden of searching for a retail store that sells the desired food is reduced. Especially for those who are burdensome to travel, such as those who are physically handicapped, it is possible to know which retail store to go to, so reducing the amount of travel required for shopping and reducing the burden Can do.

  Further, the business entity server 11 transmits the receiving method information (collation information) to the retail store terminal 21 and the user terminal 1 respectively, and the retail store terminal 21 performs authentication based on the receiving method information. Therefore, it is possible to authenticate whether the user who visited the retail store is the user who actually placed the order. Therefore, convenience for retail stores can be improved.

  Further, the retail store terminal 21 prompts the business server 21 to update the retail store information database 15 by transmitting the information stored in the storage unit 23 (see FIG. 5) to the business server 21. Accordingly, the business server 21 can specify a retail store based on the new seller information in step S107. As a result, a more appropriate retail store is specified, so that convenience for the user can be improved.

  Further, the user can order food at a lower price by designating the purchase condition of “purchase from a retail store with the lowest price”. Therefore, convenience for the user can be improved.

  Moreover, the control part 12 of the provider server 11 replaces the out-of-stock ingredients with other ingredients based on the ingredient replacement information when the ingredients are out of stock at the retail store. Therefore, even if the food is out of stock, it is possible to order a food substitute for the food. Therefore, convenience for the user can be improved.

The seller information update means is realized by the control unit 12 of the business server 11 that updates the retail store information database 15 when the seller information is received from the seller terminal 21.

  In the above steps S112 to S114, the case where the user goes to the retail store is shown. Hereinafter, the case where a retail store delivers food according to a user's request will be described. In this case, for example, a delivery company server (not shown) is connected to the Internet 30. When a retail store requests delivery from a delivery company, for example, a document in which information on a delivery item, a delivery destination, and a delivery source (retail store) (including the address of the delivery terminal 21) and a delivery item are delivered to the delivery company. . The delivery company server inputs the information written in the document by the delivery company. Then, the inputted information is stored in a storage device (not shown) of the delivery company server. In addition, when the delivery of the food is completed by the delivery company, information to that effect is input to the delivery company server. Then, the delivery company server transmits, as a transmission destination, an address that has been input and stored in advance to the effect that the delivery has been completed. The retail store terminal 21 of the retail store that requested the delivery receives information that the delivery has been completed. Then, the control unit 22 of the retail store terminal 21 displays information to that effect on the display unit 25. As a result, the retail store can know that the delivery of the food has been completed.

  In addition, you may perform the adjustment process in the case of delivering a foodstuff by arbitrary methods. For example, the user who has delivered the food may pay the delivery agent for the food, and the delivery agent may pay the price to the retail store. Alternatively, payment may be performed using a credit card or the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the purchase condition, a method for receiving food and a purchase condition such as “purchase from a retail store with the lowest price” are specified. Purchase conditions are not limited to these conditions. For example, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 may transmit to the user terminal 1 a menu list screen on which a delivery location (that is, a delivery destination) and a desired delivery time can be input as purchase conditions. In this case, the retail store information database 15 also stores information indicating whether the retail store is affiliated with a delivery company that can be delivered at a specified time in association with the retail store ID. If the desired delivery time is specified, the control unit 12 specifies the retail store ID corresponding to the information indicating that it is affiliated with the delivery company that can deliver at the specified time in step S107. Good. If there are a plurality of such retail stores, the retail store ID of the retail store closest to the delivery location may be specified.

  Further, for example, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 may transmit a menu list screen to the user terminal 1 where the food receiving location and the desired food receiving time can be input as purchase conditions. When the food receiving location and the desired food receiving time are specified, the control unit 12 is a retail store within a predetermined range from the specified receiving location and operates at the desired receiving time in step S107. What is necessary is just to specify a retail store. For example, if “Yokohama” is designated as the food receiving location and “19:00” is designated as the desired food receiving time, the retail store is located within a predetermined range centering on “Yokohama (for example, Yokohama Station)”. Therefore, a retail store that is open at 19:00 may be specified. The control unit 12 uses the store location and business hours information stored in the retail store information database 15 and is a retail store within a predetermined range from the designated receiving location, and operates at the desired receiving time. What retailers are there?

  Moreover, the control part 12 of the provider server 11 may transmit a menu list screen to which the delivery date can be input as a purchase condition to the user terminal 1. In this case, the retail store may deliver the product to the user by the delivery date. In this case, the retail store information database 15 stores not only the current inventory quantity but also the future inventory quantity. For example, the stock quantity of one week ahead, two weeks ahead, three weeks ahead,... Is stored. The control unit 23 of the retail store terminal 21 stores such a future stock amount, and transmits the updated information to the business server 11 when the future stock amount is updated by the retail store. When receiving the updated information, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 overwrites the information stored in the retail store information database 15 with the information. Moreover, the control part 12 should just identify the retail store which can sell goods by delivery date by referring the future stock quantity according to delivery date in step S107.

  In each of the above embodiments, the case where the article is a food and drink and the component of the article is a food has been described as an example. However, the component of the article and the article is not limited to the food and drink. For example, the control unit 12 of the business server 11 may transmit a menu list screen showing a list of various articles created by Sunday carpenter or the like to the user terminal. In this case, the menu information database 16 may store information on materials and parts of the articles as component information for each of various articles created by Sunday carpenters and the like. Further, the retail store information database may store information on sellers who sell materials and parts sold by Do-it-yourself.

  Further, the seller may be a trading company or a manufacturer instead of a retail store. For example, when the article is not a food or drink but a machine product or the like, a trading company or a parts manufacturer that sells parts or materials of the machine product may be the seller.

  Even if the article is not a food and drink and the component of the article is not a food, the orderer terminal 1, the company server 11, and the seller terminal 21 are the same as the operations in the embodiment already described. The operation may be performed.
