Abstract

A system includes a first information processing device and a second information processing device. The first information processing device includes a first receiving section which receives electronic receipt information having information relating to a commercial product or a service, an auxiliary information obtaining unit which obtains auxiliary information based on a part or all of the information of the electronic receipt information, a generating unit, which generates consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information from the part or all of the electronic receipt information and the auxiliary information, and a first transmitting unit, which transmits the consumers electronic receipt information. The second information processing device includes a second receiving section which receives the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information and a second transmitting section which transmits a part or all of the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information.

Claims

1. An electronic receipt information processing system, comprising:

a first information processing device, including

an electronic receipt information receiving section, which receives electronic receipt information having one or more information relating to purchase settlement of a commercial product or a service;

an auxiliary information obtaining unit which obtains auxiliary information on the basis of a part or all of the information of the electronic receipt information;

a consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information generating unit, which generates consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information from the part or all of the electronic receipt information and the auxiliary information; and

a consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information transmitting unit, which transmits the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information generated by the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information generating unit; and

a second information processing device, including;

a consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information receiving section which receives the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information; and

a second consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information transmitting section which transmits a part or all of the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information received by the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information receiving section.

2. The electronic receipt information processing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information has a commercial product identifier which identifies a commercial product, and return product information which shows whether a commercial product, which is identified by the commercial product identifier, is possible to be returned or impossible to be returned.

3. The electronic receipt information processing system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information has a commercial product identifier which identifies a commercial product, and guarantee information relating to guarantee of a commercial product which is identified by the commercial product identifier.

4. A first information processing device, which configures the electronic receipt information processing system according to any one of claims 1 through 3.

5. A second information processing device, which configures the electronic receipt information processing system according to any one of claims 1 through 3.

6. An electronic apparatus, which stores guarantee information relating to guarantee of the electronic equipment.

7. The electronic apparatus as set forth in claim 6, which automatically output information relating to a guarantee period or/and a guarantee content on the basis of the guarantee information.

8. An electronic apparatus, which receives a plurality of consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information, and records only information relating to the electronic apparatus among the plurality of consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information.

9. A method for transmitting and receiving electronic receipt information in an electronic receipt information processing system having a first information processing device and a second information processing device, the method comprising:

an electronic receipt information receiving step for receiving electronic receipt information having one or more information relating to purchase settlement of a commercial product or a service in the first information processing device;

a first consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information transmitting step for obtaining auxiliary information on the basis of a part or all of the information of the electronic receipt information, and for generating consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information from the part or all of the electronic receipt information and the auxiliary information, and for transmitting the generated consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information in the first information processing device;

a consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information receiving step for receiving the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information in the second information processing device; and

a second consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information transmitting step for transmitting a part or all of the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information which is received in the consumer'"'"'s electronic receipt information receiving step in the second information processing device.
