Shopping support system and shopping support method

Abstract

In one embodiment, a shopping support system has a server and a store terminal. The server stores user identification information including information of a group capable of identifying the group to which the user belongs, and shopping memo information which is associated with the user identification information, and includes information of a commodity to be purchased by the user, in a storage device. The store terminal repeatedly acquires the shopping memo information which is associated with the information of the group capable of identifying the group to which the user in whom login has been permitted belongs, from the server at a periodic prescribed timing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shopping support system that supports a first user and a second user who perform operations to purchase commodities for a first terminal and a second terminal, the shopping support system comprising:
 a server that manages shopping memo information including commodity information of commodities to be purchased by the first and the second users, and periodically transmits the shopping memo information to the first and second terminals, and the server including   a storage device configured to store the shopping memo information, the shopping memo information that is permitted to be shared by the first and second users being associated with a first member ID of the first user and a second member ID of the second user; and   a controller configured to, when the operation for purchasing the commodity which is coincident with the commodity included in the shared shopping memo information is received by either the first terminal or the second terminal, store the information indicating that the purchase of the coincident commodity is completed in the storage device in association with the commodity information of the purchased commodity included in the shared shopping memo information.   
     
     
         2 . The shopping support system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the operation performed to purchase a commodity for the first and second terminals includes an operation for registering the commodity to be purchased, and   the controller, when the operation for registering the commodity which is coincident with the commodity included in the shared shopping memo information is received by either the first terminal or the second terminal, stores the user information of the user who operates the terminal that received the registration operation and registration information indicating that the register of the coincident commodity is completed in the storage device in association with the commodity information of the registered commodity included in the shared shopping memo information.   
     
     
         3 . The shopping support system according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the operation performed to purchase a commodity for the first and second terminals includes an operation for settlement of the registered commodity, and   the controller, when the operation for settlement of the commodity which is coincident with the commodity included in the shared shopping memo information is received by either the first terminal or the second terminal, stores purchase information indicating that the settlement of the coincident commodity is completed in the storage device in association with the commodity information of the settled commodity included in the shared shopping memo information.   
     
     
         4 . The shopping support system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller stores the shared shopping memo information in the storage device in association with a group ID to which the first user and the second user belong.   
     
     
         5 . The shopping support system according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the controller repeatedly transmits the shopping memo information associated with the group ID as the shared shopping memo information to the first and the second terminals operated by the first and second users.   
     
     
         6 . The shopping support system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller stores the shared shopping memo information in the storage device in association with disclosure information indicating whether or not the shared shopping memo information registered by the first user is permitted to be disclosed to the second user.   
     
     
         7 . The shopping support system according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the controller repeatedly transmits the shopping memo information associated with the disclosure information indicating that the shared shopping memo information registered by the first user is permitted to be disclosed to the second user to the first and second terminals operated by the first and second users.   
     
     
         8 . The shopping support system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller stores the shared shopping memo information in the storage device in association with a group ID to which the first and second users belong and disclosure information indicating whether or not the shared shopping memo information registered by the first user is permitted to be disclosed to the second user.   
     
     
         9 . The shopping support system according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the controller repeatedly transmits the shared shopping memo information associated with the group ID to which the first user and the second user belong and disclosure information indicating that the shared shopping memo information registered by the first user is permitted to be disclosed to the second user to the first and second terminals operated by the first and second users.   
     
     
         10 . A shopping support method of a shopping support system which has a server that manages shopping memo information including commodity information of commodities to be purchased by the first user and the second user and periodically transmits the shopping memo information to the first and second terminals, and supports the first and second users who perform operations to purchase commodities for the first and second terminals, the shopping support method comprising:
 storing the shopping memo information, the shopping memo information that is permitted to be shared by the first and second users being associated with a first member ID of the first user and a second member ID of the second user; and   when the operation for purchasing the commodity which is coincident with the commodity included in the shared shopping memo information is received by either the first terminal or the second terminal, storing the information indicating that the purchase of the coincident commodity is completed in the storage device in association with the information of the purchased commodity included in the shared shopping memo information.
