Purchase support server, purchase support system, purchase support method, purchase support program, and computer readable recording medium recording program

A purchase support system including a mobile terminal of a user, and a purchase support server capable of communication with the terminal,

• the mobile terminal comprising:
• an acquiring unit for acquiring store-related information for identifying a store visited by a user as a visited store and item-related information for identifying an item recognized by the user in the store;
• a related information transmitting unit for transmitting the store-related information and the item-related information acquired by the acquiring unit to the purchase support server;
• and
• a presented information receiving unit for receiving presented information transmitted from the purchase support server in response to the store-related information and the item-related information transmitted by the related information transmitting unit, and
• the purchase support server comprising:
• a related information receiving unit for receiving the store-related information and the item-related information transmitted by the related information transmitting unit;
• a storage unit for storing item data related to an item, store data related to a store, price data indicating a price of an item in a store selling the item, and remuneration data indicating a remuneration amount to be paid from one store to another store when a user purchases in the one store an item corresponding to the item recognized in the another store;
• a generating unit for generating the presented information indicating a purchase cost when purchasing a presented item corresponding to the item-related information from a store selling the item by reference to the storage unit based on the item-related information and the store-related information received by the related information receiving unit;
• and
• a presented information transmitting unit for transmitting the presented information generated by the generating unit to the mobile terminal,
• wherein, when the selling store is different from the visited store, the generating unit adds the remuneration amount to be paid from the selling store to the visited store to the purchase cost and thereby generates presented information indicating the purchase cost being a price different from a price of the presented item in the selling store.

A purchase support method executed by a purchase support server, the purchase support server including a storage unit for storing item data related to an item, store data related to a store, price data indicating a price of an item in a store selling the item, and remuneration data indicating a remuneration amount to be paid from one store to another store when a user purchases in the one store an item corresponding to the item recognized in the another store, the method comprising:

• a related information receiving step of receiving store-related information for identifying a store visited by a user as a visited store and item-related information for identifying an item recognized by the user in the store from a mobile terminal of the user;
• a generating step of generating presented information indicating a purchase cost when purchasing a presented item corresponding to the item-related information from a store selling the item by reference to the storage unit based on the item-related information and the store-related information received in the related information receiving step;
• and
• a presented information transmitting step of transmitting the presented information generated in the generating step to the mobile terminal,
• wherein, the generating step includes a step of adding, when the selling store is different from the visited store, the remuneration amount to be paid from the selling store to the visited store to the purchase cost and thereby generating presented information indicating the purchase cost being a price different from a price of the presented item in the selling store.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a purchase support program causing a computer to implement:

• a related information receiving function that receives store-related information for identifying a store visited by a user as a visited store and item-related information for identifying an item recognized by the user in the store from a mobile terminal of the user;
• a storage unit function that stores item data related to an item, store data related to a store, price data indicating a price of an item in a store selling the item, and remuneration data indicating a remuneration amount to be paid from one store to another store when a user purchases in the one store an item corresponding to the item recognized in the another store;
• a generating function that generates presented information indicating a purchase cost when purchasing a presented item corresponding to the item-related information from a store selling the item by reference to the storage unit based on the item-related information and the store-related information received by the related information receiving function;
• and
• a presented information transmitting function that transmits the presented information generated by the generating function to the mobile terminal,
• wherein, when the selling store is different from the visited store, the generating function adds the remuneration amount to be paid from the selling store to the visited store to the purchase cost and thereby generates presented information indicating the purchase cost being a price different from a price of the presented item in the selling store.
