Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for providing a consumer aggregation service in a network service provider. SOLUTION: At first, when a user registers himself or herself in a consumer collecting service 110, the consumer collecting service 110 replaces the identification information of the registered user 134 with its own identification information when the registered user 134 reads a world wide web(WWW) site. Moreover, the consumer collecting server 110 intercepts an electronic merchandise order made by the registered user 134 with a retailer 124 though a network 100, and charges the registered user 134 with the order, and carries out the order with the retailer 124 on behalf of the registered user 134, and makes the retail agent 124 charge the consumer aggregation service itself with the order. Moreover, the consumer collecting server 110 collects coupons or bonuses from the retailers 124 based on shopping performed by the registered users 134, and stores them in a data base, and distributes the collected coupons or bonuses to the registered users 134 in a prescribed method.
