Server apparatus, product grouping method, product grouping program, recording medium with computer-readable product grouping program recorded thereon and product grouping system

A server apparatus which is connected with a terminal apparatus through a network, the server apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit that receives, from the terminal apparatus, order scheduled product information indicating a plurality of order scheduled products selected by a user;
• a grouping unit that groups the plurality of order scheduled products indicated by the order scheduled product information received by the receiving unit, based on a product group stored in a product group storing unit that stores a correspondence between a product group and a plurality of products belonging to the product group, and generates at least one or more groups;
• and
• a transmitting unit that transmits, to the terminal apparatus, grouping result information indicating to which group each order scheduled product grouped in the grouping unit among the plurality of order scheduled products indicated by the received order scheduled product information is grouped.

A product grouping method comprising:

• a step of receiving, at a computer, from a terminal apparatus order scheduled product information indicating a plurality of order scheduled products selected by a user;
• a step of grouping the plurality of order scheduled products indicated by the received order scheduled product information at the computer based on a correspondence between a product group and a plurality of products belonging to the product group, and generating at least one or more groups;
• and
• a step of transmitting, at the computer, to the terminal apparatus grouping result information indicating to which group each grouped order scheduled product among the plurality of order scheduled products indicated by the received order scheduled product information is grouped.
