Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'enchères ainsi qu'un système mettant en oeuvre ce procédé. The present invention relates to an auction processing method and a system implementing this method.
L'invention vise plus particulièrement un procédé et un système destinés à être utilisés dans des ventes aux enchères dans lesquelles un organisateur des ventes (appelé commissaire-priseur en France) reçoit des enchères émises par des enchérisseurs et les diffuse pour des spectateurs présents dans une salle des ventes. Les enchères se déroulent ainsi de manière publique, tout spectateur pouvant à son tour porter des enchères. En principe, l'organisateur des ventes adjuge le lot mis en vente à l'enchérisseur émettant l'enchère la plus élevée à l'issue de la vente. The invention relates more particularly to a method and a system intended for use in auctions in which a sales organizer (called an auctioneer in France) receives auctions issued by bidders and distributes them to spectators present in a sales room. The auctions thus take place in a public manner, any spectator being able in turn to auction. In principle, the sales organizer awards the lot put up for sale to the highest bidder at the end of the sale.
La présente invention est relative à un procédé et un système de traitement d'enchères qui permet à des enchérisseurs non présents dans la salle des ventes d'émettre à distance des enchères. The present invention relates to a method and a system for processing auctions which enables bidders not present in the auction room to remotely issue auctions.
Un système de cette nature a été expérimenté dans certaines salles des ventes : des enchérisseurs pouvaient, avec l'accord de l'organisateur des ventes, porter des enchères par un canal téléphonique et ils prenaient connaissance du déroulement de la vente grâce à la retransmission télévisée de celle-ci sur un réseau de télévision par câble. A system of this nature has been tested in some auction rooms: bidders could, with the agreement of the sales organizer, make auctions through a telephone channel and they became aware of the progress of the sale through televised broadcast of it on a cable television network.
Ce système est évidemment d'une complexité et d'un coût rédhibitoires pour la quasi-totalité des ventes aux enchères. Seules certaines ventes très prestigieuses peuvent se permettre de l'utiliser. En outre, ce système répond difficilement aux contraintes d'ordre juridique qui sont imposées à ces ventes. En particulier, les spectateurs présents dans la salle des ventes n'ont pas accès simultanément aux mêmes informations que les personnes qui enchérissent par le canal téléphonique. Par ailleurs, la réception des enchères par l'organisateur des ventes est confuse dès que plusieurs enchères sont émises par canal téléphonique à des instants rapprochés. This system is obviously extremely complex and cost prohibitive for almost all auctions. Only certain very prestigious sales can afford to use it. In addition, this system hardly meets the legal constraints which are imposed on these sales. In particular, spectators in the auction room do not have simultaneous access to the same information as people who bid through the telephone channel. In addition, reception of the auctions by the sales organizer is confused as soon as several auctions are issued by telephone channel at close times.
Avec ce système, le nombre d'enchérisseurs est limité par le nombre de lignes téléphoniques disponibles dans la salle des ventes.With this system, the number of bidders is limited by the number of telephone lines available in the auction room.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un procédé et un système de traitement d'enchères qui, par leur conception originale, résolvent, de façon peu coûteuse, les problèmes liés à la participation à la vente d'enchérisseurs absents de la salle des ventes. The object of the invention is to propose a process and a system for processing auctions which, by their original design, solve, inexpensively, the problems linked to participation in the sale of bidders absent from the auction room. sales.
On souhaite notamment que le nouveau système présente les possibilités suivantes
A/ accès à distance, pour les enchérisseurs potentiels, au catalogue de la vente à travers un système de communication permanent et public
B/ présentation par l'enchérisseur, lors de son entrée sur le système d'enchères à distance, de son identité de sorte que l'inscription de ses offres se fasse bien à son nom
C/ prise de connaissance (en temps réel pendant la vente) par l'enchérisseur de la situation des enchères concernant le lot qui l'intéresse ;;
D/ émission des offres des enchérisseurs à distance vers l'organisateur des ventes dans le cadre de procédures d'habilitation et de contrôle couvrant notamment les enchères fantaisistes
E/ vérification en temps réel par l'enchérisseur de l'inscription de son offre et de sa prise en compte dans la séquence d'enchères
FI intervention à tout instant de la vente par l'organisateur des ventes en vertu de son rôle d'animateur et de conducteur de la vente ainsi que de son rôle légal d'officier ministériel qu'il a dans certains pays comme la France et qui lui attribue certaines prérogatives (enchérir, suspendre la vente d'un lot, clore la vente d'un lot en adjugeant ...)
G/ émission, par l'organisateur des ventes, de divers messages automatiques ("clôture d'enchères imminente", "lot adjugé" ...) ou exceptionnels
HI mise en mémoire de toutes les interventions survenues au cours de la vente, en correspondance avec les instants auxquels elles sont survenues
Il visualisation, par les spectateurs présents dans la salle des ventes, du déroulement de la vente, enchère après enchère, de sorte qu'ils puissent éventuellement enchérir en connaissance de cause (ce point constitue une des principales contraintes juridiques liées à ces ventes publiques)
J/ faculté, pour les spectateurs présents dans la salle des ventes, de porter des enchères sur les lots en cours de vente
K/ prise de connaissance du résultat de la vente par les enchérisseurs qui y ont participé ou assisté à distance ou en salle.In particular, we would like the new system to present the following possibilities
A / remote access, for potential bidders, to the sales catalog through a permanent and public communication system
B / presentation by the bidder, when entering the remote auction system, of his identity so that the registration of his offers is done in his name
C / acquaintance (in real time during the sale) by the bidder of the auction situation concerning the lot which interests him;
D / issuance of offers from remote bidders to the sales organizer within the framework of authorization and control procedures, notably covering fanciful auctions
E / real-time verification by the bidder of the registration of his offer and its inclusion in the auction sequence
FI intervention at all times of the sale by the sales organizer by virtue of his role as facilitator and conductor of the sale as well as his legal role of ministerial officer which he has in certain countries such as France and which attributes certain prerogatives to it (bidding, suspending the sale of a lot, closing the sale of a lot by auctioning ...)
G / issue, by the sales organizer, of various automatic messages ("imminent auction closing", "auction lot" ...) or exceptional
HI memorization of all the interventions that occurred during the sale, in correspondence with the moments at which they occurred
It visualizes, by the spectators present in the auction room, the progress of the sale, auction after auction, so that they can possibly bid knowingly (this point constitutes one of the main legal constraints related to these public sales)
J / faculty, for the spectators present in the auction room, to bid on the lots being sold
K / awareness of the result of the sale by the bidders who participated in it or attended remotely or in the room.
La présente invention vise ainsi un procédé de traitement d'enchères destiné à être utilisé dans des ventes aux enchères dans lesquelles un organisateur des ventes reçoit des enchères émises par des enchérisseurs et les diffuse pour des spectateurs présents dans au moins une salle des ventes. The present invention thus relates to an auction processing method intended for use in auctions in which a sales organizer receives auctions issued by bidders and distributes them to spectators present in at least one auction room.
Suivant l'invention, ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que certaines enchères sont émises à distance par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de gestion raccordée à un réseau télématique par des enchérisseurs détenant un poste connecté audit réseau télématique, en ce que l'organisateur des ventes détient un terminal raccordé à l'unité de gestion et en ce qu'il comprend, lorsqu'une telle enchère est. émise par l'intermédiaire du réseau télématique, les étapes suivantes
a) la saisie, par l'enchérisseur, d'instructions correspondant à cette enchère
b) le contrôle de la validité de ces instructions
c) la diffusion de cette enchère, en direction des postes connectés au réseau télématique et détenus par des enchérisseurs et simultanément en direction d'au moins un écran d'affichage situé dans la salle des ventes.According to the invention, this method is characterized in that certain auctions are issued remotely via a management unit connected to a telematic network by bidders holding a station connected to said telematic network, in that the organizer des sales has a terminal connected to the management unit and in that it includes, when such an auction is. transmitted via the telematic network, the following steps
a) the entry, by the bidder, of instructions corresponding to this auction
b) checking the validity of these instructions
c) the diffusion of this auction, towards the stations connected to the telematic network and held by bidders and simultaneously towards at least one display screen located in the auction room.
Ce procédé apporte une solution simple et économique aux problèmes que pose la prise d'enchères à des distances pouvant être très lointaines en satisfaisant aux obligations légales et en présentant la facilité d'utilisation maximum. C'est ainsi que les participants à la vente accèdent tous simultanément aux mêmes informations, qu'ils soient présents dans la salle ou qu'ils assistent à la vente par l'intermédiaire du réseau télématique. La gestion des accès au réseau télématique et de la transmission des différentes informations et enchères sur ce réseau peut être effectuée par un centre serveur, constituant l'unité de gestion, connecté au réseau et équipé de logiciels appropriés, le procédé ne limitant pas le nombre de personnes intervenant à distance dans la vente. This process provides a simple and economical solution to the problems posed by taking auctions at distances which may be very far away, while meeting legal obligations and presenting maximum ease of use. This is how the participants in the sale all simultaneously access the same information, whether they are present in the room or whether they are attending the sale via the telematic network. The access management to the telematic network and the transmission of the various information and auctions on this network can be carried out by a server center, constituting the management unit, connected to the network and equipped with appropriate software, the method not limiting the number of people working remotely in the sale.
Par ailleurs, l'invention fournit aussi un système de traitement d'enchères destiné à être utilisé dans des ventes aux enchères dans lesquelles un organisateur des ventes reçoit des enchères émises par des enchérisseurs et les diffuse pour des spectateurs présents dans au moins une salle des ventes. Furthermore, the invention also provides an auction processing system intended for use in auctions in which a sales organizer receives auctions issued by bidders and distributes them to spectators present in at least one auction room. sales.
Ce système de traitement d'enchères est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens d'enregistrement accessibles à l'organisateur des ventes pour enregistrer les enchères émises par les enchérisseurs présents dans la salle des ventes, des moyens d'affichage comportant au moins un écran d'affichage situé dans la salle des ventes pour présenter des informations relatives à la vente des moyens de saisie, accessibles à des enchérisseurs situés à l'extérieur de la salle des ventes, pour transmettre des enchères par liaison télématique pour affichage sur ledit écran d'affichage et des moyens de visualisation, accessibles à ces enchérisseurs situés à l'extérieur de la salle des ventes, adaptés pour recevoir les informations relatives à la vente. This auction processing system is characterized in that it comprises recording means accessible to the sales organizer for recording the auctions issued by the bidders present in the auction room, display means comprising at least a display screen located in the auction room to present information relating to the sale of input means, accessible to bidders located outside the auction room, to transmit auctions by telematic link for display on said display screen and display means, accessible to these bidders located outside the auction room, adapted to receive information relating to the sale.
D'autres particularités et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront dans la description cidessous, lue conjointement aux dessins non limitatifs annexés, dans lesquels
- la figure 1 représente schématiquement un système de traitement d'enchères conforme à la présente invention ; et
- la figure 2 montre schématiquement un agencement possible, à l'intérieur de la salle des ventes, de moyens mis en oeuvre dans l'invention,
- la figure 3 illustre l'affichage des informations adressées aux spectateurs présents dans la salle des ventes et aux enchérisseurs extérieurs.Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear in the description below, read in conjunction with the accompanying non-limiting drawings, in which
- Figure 1 schematically shows an auction processing system according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 schematically shows a possible arrangement, inside the auction room, of means used in the invention,
- Figure 3 illustrates the display of information addressed to spectators present in the auction room and to external bidders.
Sur la figure 1, on voit un système de traitement d'enchères qui, conformément à l'invention, permet la prise d'enchères à distance par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau télématique T illustré symboliquement. In FIG. 1, an auction processing system is seen which, in accordance with the invention, enables remote auctions to be taken via a symbolically illustrated telematic network T.
Dans une salle des ventes 1, 101, un organisateur des ventes (parfois appelé commissairepriseur) dirige une vente lors de laquelle un lot est proposé à des spectateurs présents dans la salle 1, 101. In an auction room 1, 101, a sales organizer (sometimes called an auctioneer) directs a sale during which a lot is offered to spectators in room 1, 101.
Ceux-ci peuvent porter des enchères pour tenter d'acquérir ce lot.They can hold auctions to try to acquire this lot.
L'organisateur des ventes est chargé d'enregistrer ces enchères, d'adjuger le lot à l'enchérisseur faisant la proposition au prix le plus élevé et aussi d'intervenir lorsqu'il le juge utile pour assurer le bon déroulement de la vente. Il est également tenu d'informer l'assistance du déroulement de la vente. The sales organizer is responsible for recording these auctions, awarding the lot to the bidder making the proposal at the highest price and also intervening when he deems it necessary to ensure the smooth running of the sale. He is also required to inform the assistance of the progress of the sale.
A cet effet, l'organisateur des ventes dispose d'un terminal 2, 102, raccordé au réseau télématique T. For this purpose, the sales organizer has a terminal 2, 102, connected to the telematic network T.
Ce terminal 2, 102 comprend un clavier alphanumérique 3, 103 et un écran de visualisation 4, 104 reliés à un boîtier 5, 105 comportant une interface du terminal 2, 102 avec le réseau T. Le boîtier 5, 105 est raccordé à un ou plusieurs écrans d'affichage 6, 106 sur lesquels s'affichent les informations transmises par le canal du terminal 2, 102. Le boîtier 5 comporte, en plus de l'interface avec le réseau télématique T, des moyens de modulation et de démodulation des signaux échangés via le réseau T (modem) et des composants logiques destinés à interpréter ces signaux en fonction des normes et des protocoles de communication utilisés sur le réseau télématique T. Le choix des différents composants de ce boîtier 5, 105 doit donc être effectué en fonction des spécifications du réseau T utilisé. Les écrans 6, 106 sont répartis en différents endroits de la salle des ventes 1, 101.Ils sont de préférence conçus d'une taille suffisante pour permettre une lecture des messages affichés par des spectateurs éloignés d'une distance de 10 à 20 mètres.This terminal 2, 102 comprises an alphanumeric keyboard 3, 103 and a display screen 4, 104 connected to a box 5, 105 comprising an interface of the terminal 2, 102 with the network T. The box 5, 105 is connected to one or several display screens 6, 106 on which are displayed the information transmitted by the channel of the terminal 2, 102. The box 5 comprises, in addition to the interface with the telematic network T, means for modulating and demodulating the signals exchanged via the network T (modem) and logic components intended to interpret these signals according to the standards and communication protocols used on the telematic network T. The choice of the various components of this box 5, 105 must therefore be made in according to the specifications of the network T used. The screens 6, 106 are distributed in different locations of the auction room 1, 101. They are preferably designed to be of sufficient size to allow reading of the messages displayed by spectators distant from 10 to 20 meters away.
Au réseau télématique T sont par ailleurs reliés des postes 12 a-d détenus par des personnes situées à l'extérieur de la salle des ventes 1, 101. Ces postes 12 a-d peuvent par exemple se situer aux domiciles 11 a-d de ces personnes. Ils comprennent un clavier alphanumérique 13a-d, un écran de visualisation 14a-d et un boîtier 15a-d qui contient l'interface avec le réseau
T, le dispositif de modulation et de démodulation des signaux échangés via le réseau T (modem) et des composants logiques destinés à interpréter ces signaux en fonction des normes et des protocoles de communication propres au réseau T. Comme les postes 12a-d sont en général placés chez des particuliers, on préférera que ces postes 12a-d consistent en des terminaux banals d'un réseau télématique T usuel, tels qu'appelés MINITEL.The telematic network T is also linked to posts 12 ad owned by people located outside the auction room 1, 101. These posts 12 ad can for example be located at the homes 11 ad of these people. They include an alphanumeric keyboard 13a-d, a display screen 14a-d and a box 15a-d which contains the interface with the network.
T, the device for modulating and demodulating the signals exchanged via the network T (modem) and logic components intended to interpret these signals according to the standards and communication protocols specific to the network T. As the stations 12a-d are in generally placed with individuals, it will be preferred that these stations 12a-d consist of common terminals of a conventional telematic network T, such as called MINITEL.
Le système représenté sur la figure 1 comprend enfin un serveur S relié au réseau télématique T. Ce serveur S est une unité de gestion du système de traitement d'enchères qui gère les accès et la transmission des informations sur le réseau T. Il comporte un ordinateur (représenté symboliquement en X) muni d'un logiciel prévu pour cette gestion. The system represented in FIG. 1 finally comprises a server S connected to the telematic network T. This server S is a management unit of the auction processing system which manages the accesses and the transmission of information on the network T. It comprises a computer (symbolically represented in X) provided with software intended for this management.
Sur la figure 2, on a illustré l'agencement des moyens mis en oeuvre dans le système de traitement d'enchères de l'invention, à l'intérieur d'une salle des ventes 1. Le boîtier 5 est représenté raccordé au réseau
T, au clavier 3 que détient l'organisateur des ventes, à son écran de visualisation 4 (non représenté ici) et à un multiplexeur 7 qui émet les messages de l'organisateur des ventes en direction de cinq écrans d'affichage (de type télévision) 6a-e. Le clavier 3 est transportable à l'intérieur de la salle des ventes 1 de sorte que l'organisateur des ventes peut se déplacer dans cette salle 1 tout en continuant la vente. En cas de défaillance du dispositif 3, 5, 7, un dispositif de secours 3', 5', 7' est prévu, comprenant un boîtier 5', un clavier 3' et un multiplexeur 7'.In Figure 2, there is illustrated the arrangement of the means used in the auction processing system of the invention, inside an auction room 1. The box 5 is shown connected to the network
T, at the keyboard 3 held by the sales organizer, at its display screen 4 (not shown here) and at a multiplexer 7 which transmits the messages of the sales organizer towards five display screens (of the type television) 6a-e. The keyboard 3 is transportable inside the sales room 1 so that the sales organizer can move around in this room 1 while continuing the sale. In the event of failure of the device 3, 5, 7, a backup device 3 ', 5', 7 'is provided, comprising a housing 5', a keyboard 3 'and a multiplexer 7'.
En utilisant le système décrit ci-dessus, les ventes aux enchères se déroulent de la manière suivante. Using the system described above, the auctions proceed as follows.
L'organisateur des ventes rentre d'abord par l'intermédiaire de son clavier 3 et de sa ligne du réseau télématique T, des informations concernant des lots mis en vente pour constituer un catalogue de ventes mis en mémoire par le serveur S. Toute personne ayant à sa disposition un poste 12a-d connecté au réseau T peut alors, après composition d'un code d'accès, consulter ce catalogue des ventes et éventuellement sélectionner des lots qui l'intéressent. Dans ce cas, elle peut alors prendre contact avec l'organisateur des ventes (par l'intermédiaire du réseau T ou indépendamment) pour lui signaler son intérêt et lui indiquer le montant maximum qu'elle est prête à accorder au lot. L'organisateur lui attribue alors un code individuel et confidentiel pour lui permettre d'enchérir via le réseau T. L'organisateur met aussi ce code en mémoire au niveau du serveur S par son terminal 2, 102.The sales organizer first enters via its keyboard 3 and its telematic network line T, information concerning lots put up for sale to constitute a sales catalog stored in memory by the server S. Anyone having at its disposal a 12a-d station connected to the network T can then, after dialing an access code, consult this sales catalog and possibly select lots that interest it. In this case, she can then contact the sales organizer (through the T network or independently) to indicate her interest and tell her the maximum amount she is ready to grant for the lot. The organizer then assigns him an individual and confidential code to allow him to bid via the network T. The organizer also stores this code in memory at the server S by his terminal 2, 102.
Dans une première phase de la vente, antérieure aux enchères publiques en salle des ventes 1, 101, des prises d'offres sont enregistrées au niveau du serveur S. In a first phase of the sale, prior to the public auction in the auction room 1, 101, offers are recorded at the server S.
Ces prises d'offres, équivalentes à des enchères préliminaires, proviennent de personnes extérieures enchérissant via leur poste 12a-d raccordés au réseau télématique T ou de l'organisateur des ventes via son terminal 2, 102 si le preneur d'offres s'adresse à lui plutôt que de saisir lui-même ses instructions sur un poste 12a-d.These tender offers, equivalent to preliminary auctions, come from outside people bidding via their extension 12a-d connected to the telematic network T or from the sales organizer via their terminal 2, 102 if the bidder addresses to him rather than entering his instructions himself on a 12a-d extension.
L'ordinateur X du serveur S gère ces prises d'offres en s'assurant que les enchérisseurs extérieurs ont bien composé préalablement sur leur clavier 13a-d leur code individuel et confidentiel et en contrôlant que les montants de ces prises d'offres restent bien inférieurs aux montants maximum convenus avec l'organisateur des ventes. The computer X of the server S manages these take-overs by ensuring that the external bidders have indeed previously dialed on their keyboard 13a-d their individual and confidential code and by checking that the amounts of these take-overs remain lower than the maximum amounts agreed with the sales organizer.
Cette séquence de prises d'offres est interrompue par l'ordinateur X à un instant précédent la vente en salle d'un délai prédéterminé (par exemple 1 heure) ou par l'organisateur des ventes avant ce délai (il rentre alors des instructions appropriées sur son terminal 2, 102 qui sont transmises au serveur 5). This sequence of taking offers is interrupted by the computer X at a time preceding the sale in the room by a predetermined time (for example 1 hour) or by the sales organizer before this time (he then enters appropriate instructions on its terminal 2, 102 which are transmitted to the server 5).
La vente proprement dite (en salle des ventes) débute alors avec un niveau d'enchère initial correspondant à l'offre maximum émise lors de la phase de prises d'offres. Lors de la séquence d'enchères, deux types d'enchérisseurs sont à distinguer
- tout spectateur présent dans la salle des ventes 1 peut, sous le contrôle de l'organisateur des ventes, porter une enchère sur le lot qui l'intéresse. Si l'organisateur valide cette enchère, il l'enregistre sur son clavier 3. L'information correspondante s'affiche alors sur les écrans 6a-e répartis dans la salle 1 de sorte que les spectateurs ont connaissance à tout instant du déroulement et du niveau des enchères. Cette information est également diffusée, via le réseau T, en direction des postes 12a-d dont les détenteurs se sont préalablement connectés sur le serveur S via le réseau télématique T.Les messages reçus sur les écrans 14a-d des postes 12a-d sont identiques et simultanés à ceux reçus sur les écrans 6, 6a-e, 106. Ainsi, toute personne peut assister à la vente soit en se rendant dans la salle des ventes 1, 101, soit en se connectant sur le serveur S (après composition du code d'accès au serveur S). Cette contrainte d'accessibilité des informations résulte généralement d'une obligation légale.The sale itself (in the auction room) then begins with an initial auction level corresponding to the maximum offer issued during the taking of offers phase. Two types of bidders should be distinguished during the auction sequence
- any spectator present in the auction room 1 can, under the control of the sales organizer, place an auction on the lot which interests him. If the organizer validates this auction, he saves it on his keyboard 3. The corresponding information is then displayed on the screens 6a-e distributed in room 1 so that spectators are aware at all times of the progress and auction level. This information is also broadcast, via the network T, towards the stations 12a-d whose holders have previously connected to the server S via the telematic network T. The messages received on the screens 14a-d of the stations 12a-d are identical and simultaneous to those received on screens 6, 6a-e, 106. Thus, any person can attend the sale either by going to the auction room 1, 101, or by connecting to the server S (after dialing access code to server S). This constraint of accessibility of information generally results from a legal obligation.
- Des enchérisseurs situés à l'extérieur de la salle des ventes 1, 101 peuvent émettre des enchères en les introduisant sur le clavier 13a-d de leur poste 12a-d raccordé au réseau télématique T. Cette opération est possible uniquement si cet enchérisseur a préalablement composé son code confidentiel et si ce code a été reconnu par l'ordinateur X. Les instructions correspondant à cette enchère sont rentrées sur le clavier 3 selon un format de saisie prédéterminé qui permet leur identification par les moyens logiciels du serveur S. - Bidders located outside the auction room 1, 101 can issue bids by entering them on the keyboard 13a-d of their station 12a-d connected to the telematic network T. This operation is only possible if this bidder has previously composed its confidential code and if this code has been recognized by the computer X. The instructions corresponding to this auction are entered on the keyboard 3 according to a predetermined input format which allows their identification by the software means of the server S.
L'ordinateur X du serveur S peut aussi vérifier que ces instructions ne représentent pas une enchère fantaisiste au regard de critères définis par l'organisateur des ventes en fonction de l'accord convenu entre l'enchérisseur et l'organisateur. Si l'enchère satisfait aux tests ci-dessus, elle est transmise pour affichage sur les grands écrans 6, 6a-e, 106 répartis dans la salle des ventes 1, 101 ainsi que sur tous les écrans 14a-d des spectateurs extérieurs. L'enchérisseur extérieur est bien sûr informé du sort de son enchère et de la poursuite de la vente grâce au retour d'informations son poste 12a-d via le réseau télématique T.The computer X of the server S can also verify that these instructions do not represent a fanciful auction with regard to criteria defined by the sales organizer according to the agreement agreed between the bidder and the organizer. If the auction satisfies the above tests, it is transmitted for display on the large screens 6, 6a-e, 106 distributed in the auction room 1, 101 as well as on all the screens 14a-d of outside spectators. The external bidder is of course informed of the fate of his auction and the continuation of the sale thanks to the feedback of his station 12a-d via the telematic network T.
Par ailleurs, l'organisateur des ventes peut lui aussi émettre des enchères sur le lot. Il rentre alors ces enchères sur son clavier 3, 103 et le système les traite de manière identique aux enchères précédemment décrites émises par les enchérisseurs extérieurs à la salle des ventes 1, 101. Cette possibilité d'émission d'enchères par l'organisateur des ventes est utile pour prendre en compte les propositions d'enchérisseurs qui, absents de la vente, mandatent l'organisateur des ventes pour qu'il porte des enchères en leur nom et aussi pour rentrer les enchères des spectateurs présents dans la salle. Dès leur saisie par l'organisateur des ventes, elles sont affichées sur les écrans 6, 6a-e, 106 et 14a-d de sorte que les impératifs légaux sont respectés. In addition, the sales organizer can also bid on the lot. He then enters these auctions on his keyboard 3, 103 and the system treats them in the same way as the previously described auctions issued by bidders outside the auction room 1, 101. This possibility of issuing auctions by the organizer of sales is useful to take into account the proposals of bidders who, absent from the sale, mandate the sales organizer to carry auctions on their behalf and also to enter the auctions of spectators present in the room. As soon as they are entered by the sales organizer, they are displayed on screens 6, 6a-e, 106 and 14a-d so that the legal requirements are respected.
L'organisateur des ventes a bien entendu d'autres prérogatives prévues dans le procédé de l'invention. Il peut par exemple décider une suspension des enchères, adjuger le lot lorsque la vente est terminée, émettre divers messages pour organiser la séquence d'enchères. Les informations correspondant sont introduites au moyen de touches préprogrammées de son clavier 3, 103. Elles sont ensuite diffusées vers les écrans 6, 6a-e, 106 et 14a-d. Le clavier 3, 103 de l'organisateur des ventes est transportable dans la salle 1, 101 pour lui permettre de se déplacer dans cette salle et faciliter ainsi son rôle d'animateur. The sales organizer obviously has other prerogatives provided for in the process of the invention. It can for example decide to suspend the auction, award the lot when the sale is finished, issue various messages to organize the auction sequence. The corresponding information is entered by means of preprogrammed keys on its keyboard 3, 103. It is then broadcast to the screens 6, 6a-e, 106 and 14a-d. The keyboard 3, 103 of the sales organizer is transportable in room 1, 101 to allow him to move around in this room and thus facilitate his role as facilitator.
Tout au long de la vente (phase de prises d'offres et vente en salle), l'ensemble des interventions de preneurs d'offres, d'enchérisseurs ou de l'organisateur des ventes, est enregistré et mis en mémoire par l'ordinateur X, en correspondance avec la date et l'heure auxquelles ces interventions sont survenues. Cette disposition permet de régler un certain nombre de contestations pouvant apparaître postérieurement à ces interventions. Throughout the sale (phase of taking of offers and sale in the room), all the interventions of tenderers, bidders or the sales organizer, are recorded and stored in memory by the computer X, in correspondence with the date and time when these interventions occurred. This provision makes it possible to settle a certain number of disputes which may appear after these interventions.
A la fin de la vente, après l'adjudication du lot, les informations relatives au déroulement et aux résultats des enchères sont transmises sur le réseau télématique T puis mises en mémoire par l'ordinateur X pour constituer un catalogue des résultats que quiconque peut consulter à partir d'un poste 12a-d raccordé au réseau (de façon analogue à la consultation du catalogue initial de ventes). At the end of the sale, after the auction of the lot, the information relating to the progress and the results of the auctions are transmitted on the telematic network T then stored in the computer X to constitute a catalog of the results that anyone can consult. from a 12a-d extension connected to the network (similar to consulting the initial sales catalog).
La figure 3 illustre une manière de présenter les informations pertinentes sur les écrans de télévision 6, 6a-e, 106 et sur les écrans de visualisation 14a-d des postes 12a-d détenus par les enchérisseurs extérieurs et raccordés au réseau télématique T. On voit ainsi s'afficher en 50, le montant de l'enchère la plus élevée retenue par l'organisateur des ventes. Cette enchère doit apparaître dans une police de caractères de netteté et de taille suffisantes pour qu'elle puisse être lue, dans la salle des ventes, à des distances de l'ordre de 10 à 20 mètres. Les références numériques 51 à 54 désignent des messages correspondant respectivement à l'intitulé du lot mis en vente, l'identification de l'organisateur de cette vente, la date de la vente et un code numérique de ce lot.Les références 55b-58b désignent les montants des quatre enchères les plus élevées de la séquence d'enchères à l'instant de l'affichage, en correspondance avec les enchérisseurs auteurs de ces enchères, identifiés par un court pseudonyme 55a-58a. En 59 s'affiche un message diffusé par l'organisateur de la vente. Dans l'exemple de la figure 3, ce message 59 indique que le lot en référence a été adjugé, pour la somme désignée en 50, à l'enchérisseur dont le pseudonyme est affiché en 55a. Bien entendu, l'exemple d'afticbage illustré sur la figure 3 n'est pas limitatif. FIG. 3 illustrates a way of presenting the relevant information on the television screens 6, 6a-e, 106 and on the display screens 14a-d of the stations 12a-d held by the external bidders and connected to the telematic network T. On thus sees displayed in 50, the amount of the highest bid retained by the sales organizer. This auction must appear in a font of sufficient clarity and size so that it can be read, in the auction room, at distances of the order of 10 to 20 meters. Numerical references 51 to 54 designate messages corresponding respectively to the title of the lot offered for sale, the identification of the organizer of this sale, the date of the sale and a numerical code for this lot. References 55b-58b designate the amounts of the four highest bids in the auction sequence at the time of posting, in correspondence with the bidders who have made these bids, identified by a short pseudonym 55a-58a. In 59, a message is displayed by the organizer of the sale. In the example of FIG. 3, this message 59 indicates that the lot in reference has been awarded, for the sum designated at 50, to the bidder whose pseudonym is displayed at 55a. Of course, the example of afticbage illustrated in FIG. 3 is not limiting.
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté deux salles des ventes 1, 101. On a ainsi voulu montrer que des ventes organisées en utilisant le procédé de l'invention peuvent se dérouler simultanément en mode multiplex entre plusieurs salles. Le serveur S peut en effet traiter sélectivement des informations provenant de ou destinées à des salles des ventes indépendantes. Il suffit pour cela de munir l'ordinateur X d'un logiciel classique de gestion d'accès par des codes. Bien entendu, le nombre des salles des ventes susceptibles d'être desservies simultanément par le serveur S n'est pas limité à deux. In FIG. 1, two auction rooms 1, 101 are shown. It was thus desired to show that sales organized using the method of the invention can take place simultaneously in multiplex mode between several rooms. The server S can in fact selectively process information originating from or intended for independent sales rooms. For this, it suffices to provide the computer X with conventional software for managing access by codes. Of course, the number of auction rooms likely to be served simultaneously by the server S is not limited to two.
La flexibilité d'emploi du système proposé par l'invention permet en outre d'effectuer une vente à laquelle plusieurs salles peuvent participer. Un organisateur des ventes est présent dans une salle 1, 101 et les informations qu'il transmet sont adressées aux écrans 6, 6a-e, 106 situés dans cette salle, aux écrans 14a-d des spectateurs extérieurs, mais aussi aux écrans 6, 6a-e, 106 situés dans une autre salle des ventes 1, 101 dans laquelle se trouve un autre terminal 2, 102 raccordé au réseau télématique T. Cette possibilité d'organiser des ventes mettant en commun plusieurs salles 1, 101 permet de réaliser de grandes ventes pour un auditoire vaste. The flexibility of use of the system proposed by the invention also makes it possible to carry out a sale in which several rooms can participate. A sales organizer is present in a room 1, 101 and the information he transmits is sent to screens 6, 6a-e, 106 located in this room, to screens 14a-d of outside spectators, but also to screens 6, 6a-e, 106 located in another sales room 1, 101 in which there is another terminal 2, 102 connected to the telematic network T. This possibility of organizing sales bringing together several rooms 1, 101 makes it possible to carry out big sales for a large audience.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple détaillé ci-dessus. Ainsi, les moyens informatiques de gestion des données ont été représentés centralisés au niveau du serveur S, par un ordinateur X. Of course, the invention is not limited to the example detailed above. Thus, the computerized data management means have been represented centralized at the level of the server S, by a computer X.
Les terminaux 2, 102 des organisateurs des ventes peuvent naturellement inclure des moyens informatiques équipés de logiciel(s) accomplissant une partie des fonctions décrites ci-dessus et exécutées au niveau du serveur S.The terminals 2, 102 of the sales organizers can naturally include computer means equipped with software (s) performing part of the functions described above and executed at the level of the server S.
Cette décentralisation apporte une simplification des transferts d'informations.This decentralization simplifies the transfer of information.
Ces moyens informatiques décentralisés peuvent correspondre à un terminal spécialisé 2, 102 relié au réseau télématique (T) et prévu spécialement pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention en utilisant par exemple la norme dite Vidéotex. Une autre possibilité est de raccorder au serveur S un micro-ordinateur banal utilisant ou non la norme dite Vidéotex au moyen d'une ligne informatique spécialisée et non d'une ligne banale du réseau télématique T. Dans ce dernier cas, le clavier 3, 103 de l'organisateur des ventes et son écran de visualisation 4, 104 peuvent correspondre respectivement au clavier et à l'écran du micro-ordinateur, les écrans d'affichage 6, 6a-e, 106 constituent des unités périphériques gérées par une carte comprise dans l'unité centrale du micro-ordinateur et le boîtier 5, 105 correspond à cette unité centrale équipée d'une carte pour la communication avec l'ordinateur X du serveur S via la ligne spécialisée. These decentralized IT means can correspond to a specialized terminal 2, 102 connected to the telematic network (T) and specially provided for the implementation of the method of the invention using for example the so-called Videotex standard. Another possibility is to connect to the server S an ordinary microcomputer using or not the so-called Videotex standard by means of a specialized computer line and not of an ordinary line of the telematic network T. In the latter case, the keyboard 3, 103 of the sales organizer and its display screen 4, 104 may correspond respectively to the keyboard and to the screen of the microcomputer, the display screens 6, 6a-e, 106 constitute peripheral units managed by a card included in the microcomputer central unit and the housing 5, 105 corresponds to this central unit equipped with a card for communication with the computer X of the server S via the dedicated line.
Par ailleurs, le système s'applique, de façon analogue et sans sortir du domaine de la présente invention, dans le cas de réseaux télématiques numériques actuellement en développement, comme le réseau dit
Numéris ou le réseau numérique à intégration de services. Furthermore, the system applies, analogously and without departing from the scope of the present invention, in the case of digital telematic networks currently in development, such as the so-called network.
Numéris or the integrated services digital network.
