In particular, the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiment relating to the auction of used vehicles for convenience of description, the present invention can be applied to the auction of other goods as it is.

First, FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a general auction process. As illustrated, the auction process is preceded by the exhibitor requesting the exhibitor to submit the auction and registering the exhibited auction items (steps S10 and S12). When the auction item is registered, the bidder checks the registered exhibited vehicle list and selects a vehicle to be bid by himself / herself before the auction (step S14).

When the auction is started for each vehicle exhibited, the bidder bids on the vehicle selected by the bidder (steps S16 and S18). In general, bidding takes place from the start price determined by the exhibitor to facilitate the auction.

When the auction price of the exhibiting vehicle rises by the bidding and the desired price is reached by the exhibitor, a bidding competition is made between the bidders (step S22), and the exhibiting vehicle is auctioned by the bidder who bid the highest price (step S24). If the bid price does not reach the desired price desired by the exhibitor, the auction is destroyed and the exhibited vehicle is bidded (step S26).

Through this process, the auction process for one vehicle is terminated and the auction for another vehicle is performed again.

In general, the real-time auction method using the conventional Internet is a method for enabling a bidder to bid online during the auction process described above. That is, when the bidder accesses the central server using the client terminal and the auction is started through the central server, the bidder participates in the auction using the client terminal.

The present invention is based on the auction method using the server-client model, but the client can make a reservation in advance to the server, and when the auction is started, the server participates in the auction on behalf of the client to perform the bid.

2 shows a network diagram of a server-client model according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the drawings, the network system of the present invention comprises a client computer 100, an auction server 200, a network 300.

The client computer 100 is a computer at the Internet end user participating in the auction according to the present invention. Preferably, the client computer 100 adopts a laptop computer or a handheld PC, but is not limited thereto. It should be interpreted as including all possible information and communication terminals.

In addition, the client computer 100 is a conventional system component, which loads a web page based on a uniform resource locator (URL), interprets the HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) code, and displays the same on a monitor. ) Operating system (OS) programs that manage and control programs and computer systems as a whole. Preferably, an auction program for a client running on the client computer 100 may be installed to access the auction server 200 and participate in the auction. Through the above program, the reservation bid and auction process of the present invention are output to the client computer.

The auction server 200 is a computer that registers the exhibited vehicle, and proceeds the auction.

The auction server 200 is a large-scale computer system including a central processing unit, a RAM, a ROM, a terminal interface, a data storage device, and the like, and a traditional personal computer or workstation having a considerable amount of memory and processing power. It can be used as a server computer.

In addition, the auction server 200 should be able to perform a large amount of business processing by executing a huge amount of mathematical calculations in information processing or database search, generally Pentium microprocessor produced by Intel Corporation is used as a central processing unit.

The network 300 is to connect the client computer 100 and the auction server 200 in common to perform data communication with each other. Can be. However, hereinafter, for convenience of description, the present invention will be described by taking the case where the network 300 is a wired Internet network and the client computer 100 is a personal computer. However, it is a matter of course that the present invention is not necessarily limited to these examples.

3 schematically shows an internal configuration of the auction server 200. Referring to the drawings, the auction server 200 is a server engine 202, communication module 204, user authentication module 206, auction progress module 208, reservation response module 210, SMS transmission module 212 And a user information DB 220, an entry information DB 230, and a reservation response DB 240 as a database.

The server engine 202 manages the auction server 200 to perform a function of a server computer, and provides a platform for server-side programs such as the modules.

The communication module 204 includes TCP / IP, which is an internet common protocol, to perform data communication with the client computer 100 through the Internet, and functions to maintain a network connection with other clients.

The user authentication module 206 performs a function of determining whether the client participating in the auction is a member registered in the user information DB 220.

The auction progress module 208 is a program that allows real-time auctions to be made online for the auction items stored in the entry information DB 230 according to the general auction procedure described with reference to FIG. 1.

The reservation bidding module 210 is a program that makes a bid on behalf of the client when the client makes a reservation bid before the auction starts.

The SMS transmission module 212 is a program for transmitting the vehicle information and the successful bid price to the mobile phone text service (SMS) when the reserved bid client is auctioned on the auction vehicle. In this case, the mobile phone number of the client must be registered in the user information DB 220. In addition, it is of course necessary to pass through the mobile carrier for the SMS transmission.

The user information DB 220 stores basic personal information (name, address, mobile phone number, etc.), user authentication information (ID and password), and auction record of the client registered in the auction server 200. The auction record records the details of the auction including the information of the vehicle which has been successfully bid.

The entry information DB 230 stores vehicle information registered by exhibitors who intend to sell used vehicles through auctions. The vehicle information includes the manufacturer, the vehicle name, the year, the displacement, the travel distance, the accident history, the necessary repair details, and the like.

The reservation bidding DB 240 stores the reservation bid details when the client makes a reservation bid before the auction starts. The reservation bidding scheme may exist in various embodiments as described below. The reservation response module 210 responds on behalf of the client based on the contents of the bid stored in the reservation response DB 240.

Hereinafter, the process of reservation reservation of the present invention will be described with various embodiments. Prior to the description, the client performs various operations on the auction server 200 through the network 300 using his client computer 100, but for convenience of description, the client directly performs a specific operation on the auction server 200. Sometimes it is described as if it were done. However, even in this case, it should be understood that the client performs a specific operation via a computer system equipped with data communication means.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of making reservation reservation according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, first, the client accesses the auction server 200 through the Internet (step S400). The client computer 100 is preferably provided with a client-only program for accessing the auction server 200 and participating in the auction. More preferably, the client-only program includes an icon (for example, an antenna display) indicating a connection state with the auction server 200 in the user interface, so that the client knows that the client is in the connection state with the auction server 200. Make sure

When accessing the auction server 200, the client enters his user authentication information (ID and password) to log in (step S402). The authentication information is registered through membership registration at the time of initial access or initial auction participation. The membership can also be registered through a separate website provided by the auction server 200.

When the authentication information is input, the user authentication module 206 extracts authentication information from the user information DB 220 and checks whether the user is a registered user. If the auction server 200 does not select membership, the login step may be omitted, and the user authentication module 206 may not be necessary.

When the login is completed, the auction server 200 extracts a list of vehicles exhibited from the entry information DB 230 and outputs them to the connected client computer 100. The client checks the list and selects a vehicle to which he / she wants to bid. Check (step S404).

In the next step, the client inputs the reservation bid amount for the vehicle that the client intends to bid on (step S406). For example, you can enter 2 million won, 3 million won, and 3.5 million won for vehicles 1, 11, and 17 in the list of exhibited vehicles, respectively.

When the input of the reservation bid amount is completed, the auction server 200 registers and stores the reservation bid details in the reservation bid DB (240).

After the auction start time, the auction progress module 208 of the auction server 200 performs a real-time auction targeting a plurality of clients connected via the Internet (step S408). The auction proceeding method is followed by the steps of bidding, contention, etc. as described in FIG. At this time, the auction proceeding module 208 is preferably to be able to adjust the bid in progress of the auction. For example, an auction vehicle without a bidding client may raise the bidding price within a range not exceeding the desired price of the exhibitor to induce the bidding of the connected client.

In addition, when there is a bid contention exceeding the desired price, the auction proceeding module 208 may display a client competing on the client computer 100 so as to know how many people are currently competing.

5 illustrates an auction screen output to the client computer 100 during a real-time auction. The antenna display 500 at the upper right of the figure indicates that the client computer 100 and the auction server 200 are currently in a connected state, and the display allows the client to confirm the connection state and participate in the auction.

On the other hand, when the auction of the vehicle that the client reserves a bid in step S406 is started (in the above example, the listing list 1, 11, 17 vehicles auction), the reservation bidding module 210 of the auction server 200 Participate in the auction on behalf of the client. In other words, the client may participate in the auction even if the client who reserved the reservation at the time of the auction is not connected.

The reservation bidding module 210 performs a bidding in a predetermined amount unit (for example, 30,000 won) on behalf of the client with the reservation bid amount input by the client in the reservation bidding DB 240 (step S410). If the bid price exceeds the desired price, which is the price that the exhibitor wants to sell, there is contention between the clients. In this case, the reservation bid module 210 also bids the reservation bid amount to the limit.

Through such bidding, the client who bids the highest price receives the auction vehicle. If the price bid by the reservation bidding module 210 is the highest price, the bidding client receives the auction vehicle (step S412). When a successful bid is made, the auction for the vehicle is completed, and the auction for another vehicle is started again.

In addition to the auction process, the auction server 200 may use a mobile phone text message (SMS) to inform the client of the successful bid information when the bidding client is successful. That is, the SMS transmission module 210 transmits the successful vehicle information and the successful bid price to the mobile phone number of the client stored in the user information DB (220).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of making a reservation response according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, before the auction starts, the client accesses and logs in to the auction server 200, checks the list of exhibited vehicles, and inputs a reserved bid amount for each vehicle (steps S600, S602, S604, and S606). Same as Example 1.

For example, the client may make a reservation and bid a bid of 2 million won, 3 million won, 4 million won, 5 million won, and 6 million won for the 3, 5, 9, 11, and 15 vehicles in the exhibited vehicle list, respectively.

When the input of the reserved bid amount for each vehicle is completed, the total allocated amount is input (step S608). The total allocation amount means the total amount that can be accumulated in the reservation bid. For example, if you enter 7 million won in the total allocation amount, you cannot bid more than 7 million won when you bid by vehicle.

When the input of the total allotted amount of money is completed, the number of vehicles (desired vehicles) to be successful in bidding is input (step S610). For example, if three vehicles are input as the desired number of vehicles, the five vehicles are bidded, but if three vehicles are already successful, the remaining vehicles do not participate in the auction.

When the input of the reserved bid amount per vehicle, the total allocated amount and the desired number of vehicles is completed, the auction server stores the reserved bid details in the reserved bid DB (240).

After the auction start time, the auction progress module 208 of the auction server 200 performs a real-time auction targeting a plurality of clients connected via the Internet (step S612). The auction proceeding method is the same as that of the first embodiment.

On the other hand, when the auction of the vehicle that the client reserved reservation in step S606 starts (auction of vehicles 3, 5, 9, 11, 15 vehicles in the above example), the reservation of the auction server 200 The bid module 210 participates in the auction on behalf of the client. In other words, the client may participate in the auction even if the client who reserved the reservation at the time of the auction is not connected.

The reservation bidding module 210 performs a bidding in a predetermined amount unit (for example, 30,000 won) on behalf of the client with the reservation bid amount entered by the client in the reservation bidding DB 240 (step S614). If the bid price exceeds the desired price, which is the price that the exhibitor wants to sell, there is contention between the clients. In this case, the reservation bid module 210 also bids the reservation bid amount to the limit.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the bid is made within the total allotment amount range (steps S614 and S616). That is, in the above example, when the vehicles 3 and 5 were won at 1.5 million won and 2.5 million won, respectively, the total amount of successful bids was 4 million won, so only 3 million won of the total allocated amount 7 million won could be bidded. Therefore, when the bid price of the auction vehicle 9 exceeds 3 million won, the reservation bidding module 210 abandons the bidding and participates in the next auction vehicle 11, the auction vehicle (step S624).

Through such bidding, the client who bids the highest price receives the auction vehicle. If the price bid by the reservation bidding module 210 is the highest price, the bidding client receives the auction vehicle (step S618). When a successful bid is made, the auction for the vehicle is completed, and the auction for another vehicle is started again.

In addition, when the successful bidding of one vehicle auction is completed, the reservation bidding module 210 checks whether the number of successful vehicles has reached the desired vehicle number input in step S610 (step S620), and when the desired vehicle number has been reached. Since the desired purpose has been achieved, the auction of the next vehicle is abandoned (step S622). If the desired number of vehicles is not reached, the bidder participates in the auction again and performs bidding on another reserved bid.

In addition to the auction process, the auction server 200 may use a mobile phone text message (SMS) to inform the client of the successful bid information when the bidding client is successful. That is, the SMS transmission module 210 transmits the successful vehicle information and the successful price to the client's mobile phone number stored in the user information DB 220.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of making a reservation response according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the process of the client accessing and logging in to the auction server 200 and checking the exhibited vehicle list (steps S700, S702, S704) before the auction starts is the same as in the first and second embodiments.

The client checks the exhibited vehicle list and inputs the vehicle number to which the reservation bid is to be made (step S706). For example, if you want to bid on vehicles 3, 5, and 8 in the list of exhibited vehicles, you can enter the number.

In addition, the number of bids indicating how many bids to bid for the selected vehicle after bidding competition is input (step S708). It is also possible to enter the number of bids for each vehicle.

In the next process, the client inputs the number of vehicles (desired vehicles) to be successful in bidding (step S710). For example, if two vehicles are input as the desired number of vehicles, bidding is performed on the selected three vehicles, but if two vehicles are already successful, the other vehicles do not participate in the auction.

When the input of the input reservation bid number, the number of bids and the desired number of vehicles is completed, the auction server 200 registers and stores the reservation bid details in the reservation bid DB 240.

After the auction start time, the auction progress module 208 of the auction server 200 performs a real-time auction targeting a plurality of clients connected via the Internet (step S712). The auction proceeding method is followed by the steps of bidding, contention and the like as in the first embodiment.

On the other hand, when the auction of the vehicle that the client reserves a bid in step S706 is started (auction of vehicles 3, 5, 8 in the above example), the reservation bidding module 210 of the auction server 200 Participate in the auction on behalf of the client. In other words, the client may participate in the auction even if the client who reserved the reservation at the time of the auction is not connected.

The reservation bidding module 210 performs bidding on a predetermined amount basis (for example, 30,000 won) on behalf of the client.

On the other hand, if there is a successful bidding competition (step S713), the reservation bidding module 210 performs the bidding to the maximum number of biddings (step S714). (Step S716). If the bid is made more than the number of bids, the reserved bid module 210 abandons the next bid.

In addition, when the successful bidding of one vehicle auction is completed, the reservation bidding module 210 checks whether the number of successful vehicles has reached the desired number of vehicles input in step S710 (step S718), and when the desired number of vehicles has been reached. Since the desired purpose has been achieved, the auction of the next vehicle is abandoned (step S720). If the desired number of vehicles does not reach the target vehicle, the auction is performed again and bidding is performed on the other reserved bidding vehicles.

In addition to the auction process, the auction server 200 may use a mobile phone text message (SMS) to inform the client of the successful bid information when the bidding client is successful. That is, the SMS transmission module 210 transmits the successful vehicle information and the successful price to the client's mobile phone number stored in the user information DB 220.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of making a reservation response according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the client does not output the list of exhibited vehicles to the client, and the client inputs the vehicle condition to perform a reservation bid.

Referring to the drawings, the process of the client accessing and logging in to the auction server 200 before starting the auction is the same as in the first, second and third embodiments.

In the next step, the client inputs the vehicle condition and the reservation bid amount to be reserved for the bid (step S804). Vehicle conditions include manufacturer, vehicle name, age, displacement and distance traveled.

In the next step, the client inputs the number of vehicles (desired vehicle number) desired for a successful bid (step S806). For example, if two vehicles are input as the desired number of vehicles, bidding is performed on vehicles that satisfy the vehicle condition, but when two vehicles are already successful, the other vehicles do not participate in the auction.

When the input of the input vehicle condition, the reservation bid amount and the desired number of vehicles is completed, the auction server 200 registers and stores the reservation bid details in the reservation bid DB 240.

After the auction start time, the auction progress module 208 of the auction server 200 performs a real-time auction targeting a plurality of clients connected via the Internet (step S808). The auction proceeding method is the same as that of the first embodiment.

On the other hand, the reservation bidding module 210 checks the vehicle information that is the auction target, and when the auction of the vehicle that meets the input vehicle conditions starts to participate in the auction on behalf of the client (step S810). In other words, the client may participate in the auction even if the client who reserved the reservation at the time of the auction is not connected. At this time, the reservation bidding module 210 cannot bid in excess of the reservation bid amount stored in the reservation information DB 240.

Through such bidding, the client who bids the highest price receives the auction vehicle. If the price bid by the reservation bidding module 210 is the highest price, the bidding client receives the auction vehicle (step S812). When a successful bid is made, the auction for the vehicle is completed, and the auction for another vehicle is started again.

In addition, when the successful bidding of one vehicle auction is completed, the reservation bidding module 210 checks whether the number of successful vehicles has reached the desired number of vehicles input in step S806 (step S814), and when the desired number of vehicles has been reached, Since the desired purpose has been achieved, the auction of the next vehicle is abandoned (step S816). If it does not reach the desired number of vehicles, it will participate again in the auction and perform bidding on other vehicles meeting the above conditions.

In addition to the auction process, the auction server 200 may use a mobile phone text message (SMS) to inform the client of the successful bid information when the bidding client is successful. That is, the SMS transmission module 210 transmits the successful vehicle information and the successful price to the client's mobile phone number stored in the user information DB 220.

 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the limited embodiment and drawing, this invention is not limited by this, The person of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalent claims. In particular, in this detailed description, the auction of a used vehicle has been described as an example, but the same may be applied to an auction of another product.

 According to the auction method using the reservation bidding method of the present invention, the effect of the internet real-time auction that is not tied to the place is reflected as it is, and the bidder can participate in the auction without regard for time as the reservation can be made. have.

In addition, as the reservation bidding can be performed in various ways, the auction server can be a proxy bidding that perfectly matches the client's intention.
