An electronic commerce server (10) including a time adjustment information
memory unit (10b), an irregular day information comparison circuit (43),
and an irregular day notification circuit (44). The time adjustment
information memory unit (10b) records information on time adjustment. The
irregular day information comparison circuit (43) compares the
transaction available period and the time adjustment information. The
irregular day notification circuit (44) notifies the occurrence of a day
on which time adjustment is performed. The electronic commerce server
(10) checks whether there is a region where time adjustment is performed
during the transaction available period. If a start-date or end data of
Daylight Saving Time occurs, that day is checked by the irregular day
information comparison circuit (43). The irregular day notification
circuit (44) transmits the occurrence of a time adjustment day to the
computer (1a) for the seller. The seller changes that transaction
available period, and the buyer learns the fact that an irregular day,
that is the start-date or end-date, occurs during the transaction
available period and how much the transaction available period will
differ from the current clock time.
