Abstract

An information processing device of the present invention includes a connecting section which connects application modules capable of performing application processing, a receiving section which receives an electronic mail including a command transmitted from a terminal device, an interpreting section which interprets the command included in the electronic mail received by the receiving section, a designating section which designates, from among the application modules connected by the connecting section, an application module corresponding to the command interpreted by the interpreting section as the execution destination of the command, an acquiring section which acquires a processing result of processing performed by the application module designated by the designating section, and a transmitting section which creates a response electronic mail with the processing result acquired by the acquiring section as a response, and transmits the response electronic mail to the terminal device.

Claims

1. A sales data processing device for processing sales data comprising:

a memory to store computer executable instructions;

a processor that executes the computer executable instructions to perform operations comprising;

storing various sales data of stores;

judging, when an electronic mail is received from an external terminal device, and when the received mail is a mail of an inquiry regarding sales data in the sales data processing device and is a mail received from a terminal device of a person involved with the stores, inquiry contents thereof;

first acquiring, when the inquiry contents judged by the judging are an inquiry of a flash request, by reading out, as brief flash information, only data limited in advance from the various sales data stored by the storing;

second acquiring, when the inquiry contents judged by the judging are an inquiry of a details request, detailed information including detailed data based on the various sales data stored by the storing; and

transmitting to an address of the inquiry'"'"'s source by creating a brief flash mail including the brief information acquired by the first acquiring or a detailed mail including the detailed information acquired by the second acquiring.

2. The sales data processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the inquiry contents includes a request type for requesting a data type of a sales type, a customer type or a reservation type which are required in the various sales data stored by the sales data processing device, as well as the flash request and the details request,

wherein the first acquiring acquires, by reading out, as brief flash information, only data limited in advance further by the data type in the various sales data, and

wherein the second acquiring, by reading out, detailed information further based on various data of the data type in the various sales data.

3. The sales data processing device according to claim 2, wherein the first acquiring acquires, by limiting to, a current sales figure or a sales figure of a current month when the data type is the sales type;

acquires, by limiting to, a number of newly-registered customers when the data type is the customer type; and

acquires, by limiting to, a number of reservations for a current day, or a number of newly-received reservations when the data type is the reservation type.

4. The sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein, when the inquiry contents are an inquiry of a details request and includes a request for attaching a file, the transmitting creates a report file including the detailed information acquired by the second acquiring, in a predetermined format;

and transmits the created report file as an electronic mail attachment.

5. The sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein, when the inquiry contents are an inquiry of a details request and includes a request for designating an output format, the transmitting creates a report by converting the detailed information acquired by the second acquiring, to the designated output format;

and transmits an electronic mail including the created report.

8. The sales data processing device according to claim 1, wherein the brief flash mail is a brief mail that is limited to information with an amount of which the information can be displayed on a display screen of the terminal device of the inquiry'"'"'s source.

9. The sales data processing device according to claim 1,

wherein the received mail of an inquiry includes authentication information indicating that the terminal device of the inquiry'"'"'s source is a terminal device of a person involved with the stores, and

wherein the judging judges whether the received mail is a mail received from a terminal device of an approved person involved with the stores based on the authentication information included in the received mail of an inquiry;

and judges, when the received mail is a mail of an inquiry regarding sales data in the sales data processing device and is a mail received from a terminal device of an approved person involved with the stores, inquiry contents thereof.

6. A sales data processing device for processing sales data comprising:

a memory to store computer executable instructions;

a processor that executes the computer executable instructions to perform operations comprising;

storing various sales data of stores;

judging, when an electronic mail is received from an external terminal device, and when the received mail is a mail of an inquiry regarding sales data in the sales data processing device and is a mail received from a terminal device of a person involved with the stores, inquiry contents thereof;

first acquiring, when the inquiry contents judged by the judging are an inquiry of a sales flash request, by reading out, as brief sales flash information, only sales data limited in advance from various sales information included in the various sales data stored by the storing;
