Consumable component sales system, electronic store providing device, control method, and program

An electronic store providing device that provides, through a communication line, an electronic store that sells a plurality of consumable components that is required to be replaced periodically among a number of components constituting a machine to a customer terminal used by a customer, the electronic store providing device comprising:

• a correlation value data receiving unit that receives, from the customer terminal, data representing a correlation value correlated with the degree of consumption of the consumable component;
• a time-for-replacement estimating unit that estimates the time for replacement at which the degree of consumption of the consumable component reaches a threshold value at which the consumable component is required to be replaced, using the correlation value represented by the last data received by the correlation value data receiving unit;
• a recommended replacement component specifying unit that specifies consumable components among a respective consumable components, of which the time for replacement estimated by the time-for-replacement estimating unit is earlier than the periodic inspection date after the next of the machine as components that are recommended to be replaced on the next periodic inspection date of the machine;
• a sales page generating unit that generates a web page for selling the consumable components specified by the recommended replacement component specifying unit to the customer;
• and
• a web page transmitting unit that transmits the web page generated by the sales page generating unit to the customer terminal.

A control method for controlling an electronic store providing device that provides, through a communication line, an electronic store that sells a plurality of consumable components that is required to be replaced periodically among a number of components constituting a machine to a customer terminal used by a customer, the control method comprising:

• a correlation value data receiving step of receiving, from the customer terminal, data representing a correlation value correlated with the degree of consumption of the consumable component;
• a time-for-replacement estimating step of estimating the time for replacement at which the degree of consumption of the consumable component reaches a threshold value at which the consumable component is required to be replaced, using the correlation value represented by the last data received in the correlation value data receiving step;
• a recommended replacement component specifying step of specifying consumable components among a respective consumable components, of which the time for replacement estimated in the time-for-replacement estimating step is earlier than the periodic inspection date after the next of the machine as components that are recommended to be replaced on the next periodic inspection date of the machine;
• a sales page generating step of generating a web page for selling the consumable components specified in the recommended replacement component specifying step to the customer;
• and
• a web page transmitting step of transmitting the web page generated in the sales page generating step to the customer terminal.

A program for an electronic store providing device that provides, through a communication line, an electronic store that sells a plurality of consumable components that is required to be replaced periodically among a number of components constituting a machine to a customer terminal used by a customer, the program causing the electronic store providing device to function as:

• a correlation value data receiving unit that receives, from the customer terminal, data representing a correlation value correlated with the degree of consumption of the consumable component;
• a time-for-replacement estimating unit that estimates the time for replacement at which the degree of consumption of the consumable component reaches a threshold value at which the consumable component is required to be replaced, using the correlation value represented by the last data received by the correlation value data receiving unit;
• a recommended replacement component specifying unit that specifies consumable components among a respective consumable components, of which the time for replacement estimated by the time-for-replacement estimating unit is earlier than the periodic inspection date after the next of the machine as components that are recommended to be replaced on the next periodic inspection date of the machine;
• a sales page generating unit that generates a web page for selling the consumable components specified by the recommended replacement component specifying unit to the customer;
• and
• a web page transmitting unit that transmits the web page generated by the sales page generating unit to the customer terminal.
