Abstract

A product ordering system of the present invention includes: a network; a salesclerk terminal connected to the network; a shop ordering system connected to the network; and an order reception system connected to the network. The salesclerk terminal includes a display element which displays various product information and a transmission element which transmits order information of a product to the order reception system by an instruction of the salesclerk. The order reception system includes a generation element which generates order identification information to identify the order information in response to reception of the order information, a registration element which registers the order identification information and the order information, and a transmission element which transmits the order identification information and the order information to the shop ordering system. The shop ordering system includes a registration element which registers the order identification information and the order information in response to reception of the order identification information and the order information.

Claims

1. A product ordering system, comprising:

a network;

a salesclerk terminal connected to the network;

a shop ordering system connected to the network; and

an order reception system connected to the network, wherein

said salesclerk terminal includes a display element which displays various product information and a transmission element which transmits order information of a product to said order reception system by an instruction of the salesclerk,

said order reception system includes a generation element which generates order identification information to identify said order information in response to reception of said order information, a registration element which registers said order identification information and said order information, and a transmission element which transmits said order identification information and said order information to said shop ordering system, and

said shop ordering system includes a registration element which registers said order identification information and said order information in response to reception of said order identification information and said order information.

2. The product ordering system as claimed in

claim 1

, wherein

said transmission element of said salesclerk terminal transmits, in addition to said order information, a registration address, which is used to register said order information to said shop ordering system, to said order reception system, and

wherein said transmission element of said order reception system transmits said order identification information and said order information to said shop ordering system based on said registration address.

3. The product ordering system as claimed in

claim 2

, wherein

said transmission element of said order reception system transmits a registration result address, through which said order reception system receives an order registration processing result, to said shop ordering system in addition to said order identification information and said order information, and

wherein said shop ordering system includes a transmission element which transmits the order registration processing result to said order reception system based on said registration result address.

4. A product ordering method used in a system in which a salesclerk terminal, a shop ordering system and an order reception ordering system are connected via a network, comprising:

displaying various product information on said salesclerk terminal;

transmitting the product order information from said salesclerk terminal to said order reception system according to an instruction of the salesclerk;

generating an order identification information for identifying said order information in said order reception system;

registering said order identification information and said order information in said order reception system;

transmitting said order identification information and said order information to said shop ordering system from said order reception system; and

registering said order identification information and said order information in response to reception of said order identification information and said order information in said shop ordering system.

5. The product ordering method as claimed in

claim 4

, wherein said salesclerk terminal transmits a registration address, which is used to register said order information to said shop ordering system, to said order reception system in addition to said order information during said transmitting step from said salesclerk terminal to said order reception system, and

wherein said order identification information and said order information are transmitted to said shop ordering system based on said registration address during said transmitting step from said order reception system to said shop ordering system.

6. The product ordering method as claimed in

claim 5

, wherein said order reception system transmits a registration result address, through which said order reception system receives an order registration processing result, in addition to said order identification information and said order information during said transmitting step from said order reception system to said shop ordering system, and

further comprising:

transmitting the order registration processing result to said order reception system from said shop ordering system based on said registration result address.

7. An information processing device used as an order reception system, comprising:

a first receiving element which receives order information transmitted from a salesclerk by using a terminal;

a first generating element which generates order identification information by using said order information;

a registration element which registers said order information and said order identification information;

a first transmission element which transmits said order information and said order identification information to a shop ordering system;

a second receiving element which receives an order registration processing result, which is a result that said shop ordering system registered said order information and said order identification information to the shop ordering system;

a second generating element which generates order registration result screen information to be displayed on said terminal of the salesclerk by using said order registration processing result and the registration result of said registration element; and

a second transmission element which transmits said order registration result screen information to said terminal of the salesclerk.

8. The information processing device as claimed in

claim 7

, wherein said first receiving element receives said order information and an address of said shop ordering system from the salesclerk by using said terminal, and

wherein said first transmission element transmits said order information and said order identification information to said address.

9. The information processing device as claimed in

claim 7

, wherein said first transmission element transmits a registration result address, which is a destination to which said shop ordering system transmits the order registration processing result, to said shop ordering system in addition to said order identification information and said order information.
