This invention provides a novel processing technique from customer authentication to order price claim in online sales of commodities and the like. First, upon receiving a customer authentication request from a shop computer, a first key is generated and transmitted to a customer terminal. Upon receiving the first key and authentication information for that customer, a legitimacy confirmation of the key and authentication processing are performed, and if both of the processing results are affirmative, a second key is generated and transmitted to the shop computer with an order identification number. In a case where the second key and shop authentication information are received from the shop computer, the legitimacy confirmation of the key, authentication processing of the shop, and credit processing of the customer are performed. If results of the aforementioned three processings are affirmative, content of the order is registered, and information indicating the registration of the order and so on is transmitted to the shop computer. After that, upon receiving an order price claim request from the shop computer, sales determination for the order is registered and the order price claim processing is carried out.

Electronic commerce information processing system and method

A novel order processing in a shop side computer that carries out online sales of goods and the like is realized by this invention. In the shop side computer, upon receiving an order request from a customer terminal, content information of the customer order is registered, and an identification number of the customer order and a shop code are transmitted to a settlement system. Next, upon receiving the identification number of the customer order and an operation key from the settlement system, the content information of the customer order is read out according to the identification number of the customer order, and the content information of the customer order, the operation key, and the shop authentication information are transmitted to the settlement system. After that, upon receiving information indicating that the acceptance of the customer order is possible from the settlement system, information indicating the acceptance of the order is stored for the customer order. Then, at an arbitrary timing after the shipment of the commodity and the like relating to the customer order, the identification number of the customer order relating to an order price claim request is transmitted to the settlement system, and information indicating whether or not the order price claim processing succeeded is received from the settlement system.
