Information processing device, information processing method, terminal device, information processing program, and storage medium

An information processing method of processing information in an information processing device, including at least one processor, the method comprising:

• acquiring, using said at least one processor, inventory information related to a number of stock of a product from a product storage that stores the inventory information,
• acquiring, using said at least one processor, a product image showing an image related to the product from a product image storage that stores the product image;
• acquiring a table including product images in correspondence with respective number of stock and transmitting the table to the terminal device in advance;
• generating, using said at least one processor, a web page for causing the product image to be displayed on a terminal device;
• transmitting, using said at least one processor, the web page to the terminal device;
• and
• setting, using said at least one processor, a display control amount of a product image in response to the number of stock of the product, wherein,
• the product image changes gradually in response to a change in the number of stock of the product to visually indicate the number of stock of the product, while the stock of the product exists, and
• the acquiring the inventory information comprises acquiring the inventory information related to the number of stock through a network at a predetermined time interval.

A terminal device comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
• at least one processor configured to access said memory, read said computer program code, and execute according to said computer program code,
• said computer program code comprising:
• information acquiring code configured to cause at least one of said at least one processor to:
• acquire inventory information related to a number of stock of a product from a product storage device that stores the inventory information through a network at a predetermined time interval, and
• receive and store, in advance, a table including product images in correspondence with respective number of stock;
• and
• display code configured to cause at least one of said at least one processor to cause a product image, included in the table, related to the product to be displayed on a web page,
• wherein the information acquiring code is further configured to cause at least one of said at least one processor to acquire the inventory information from the product storage device, and
• wherein a display control amount of the product image is gradually set in response to a change in the number of stock of the product to visually indicate the number of stock of the product, while the stock of the product exists.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having an information processing program recorded thereon which causes a computer, including at least one processor, to:

• acquire, using said at least one processor, inventory information related to a number of stock of a product from a product storage that stores the inventory information, and acquiring a product image showing an image related to the product from a product image storage that stores the product image;
• cause, using said at least one processor, the product image to be displayed on a web page of a terminal device;
• and
• set, using said at least one processor, a display control amount of a product image in response to the number of stock of the product, wherein,
• the product image changes gradually in response to a change in the number of stock of the product to visually indicate the number of stock of the product, while the stock of the product exists, and
• the information processing program further causes the computer to acquire a table including product images in correspondence with respective number of stock, transmit the table to the terminal device in advance, and acquire the inventory information related to the number of stock through a network at a predetermined time interval.
