  • Publication number: 20060085281
    Abstract: There is provided a network shopping system that contributes to the omission of the item to be purchased and the prevention of purchasing an unnecessary item. Information of equipment that each client possesses is stored in net member DB. A main item, an option, or an item having a tendency to be used at the same time, are associated with an item related thereto and stored in related item DB. When a user inputs individual identification information for authentication processing, the system searches net member DB to specify equipment that the user possesses. Next, the system gains access to related item DB, searches a related item, and recommends the item to the user.

  • Publication number: 20030097312
    Abstract: The system according to the present invention allows users to handle their own discriminative information such as “order No.” when using the online shopping service, because the system associates first discriminative information (user's order No.) with second discriminative information generated by the system. The second discriminative information is also associated with order data. Therefore, the system can specify the order data, even if the user notifies user's order No. to the system. According to this effect, the users are allowed to handle only their own discriminative information, thus, their tasks for managing purchase activities will be simplified.
