Abstract
A consumer behavior information collecting system is provided which is capable of easily and widely collecting information about positions of consumers. A portable terminal transmits position information to an information management center. The information management center accumulates received position information and increases the number of points being kept by a user based on frequency of transmission of position information and presents information about merchandise that corresponds to the number of points being kept by the user and meets conditions set by the user. The information management center, when having received merchandise selected information from a portable terminal, determines supply of requested merchandise in consideration of the number of points, performs specified statistical processing according to accumulated position information and corresponding time information and personal information of the user, and produces behavior information to be used for marketing research and a like.
