3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of paying a cumulative purchase point using a plurality of purchasers according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3,

First, the buyer terminal 100 accesses a web site provided from the web server 300 (S300).

The website is a site that sells affiliated products from a plurality of affiliated companies, and adopts a method of providing purchase points for the products in each product group.

At this time, the product group selection criteria can be selected from the web server 300 according to the product price, the product price, the price change, the company policy, etc., and the number of purchasers (the number of set purchasers) The ratio can be set.

If the purchaser terminal 100 connected to the website accesses the member or does not have the registered information, the member registration process is performed through a predetermined membership registration procedure, and the generated membership information is stored in the database and managed in a batch (S302, S304).

The registered member confirms the product information of the product to be purchased through the login and selects a desired product (S306).

When the product is purchased, payment for the product is performed, and it is determined whether or not the first purchase point is generated for the paid product (S308, S310).

At this time, whether or not the first purchase point is created can be confirmed by using the number of purchasers of the purchased product and the point payment ratio allocated to the product.

That is, when a buyer occurs for one product, and another buyer occurs and the number of buyers reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, a value obtained by multiplying the set purchaser number by the point payment ratio is calculated and paid as a first purchase point at step S312.

Therefore, in order for the first purchase point to be calculated, it is generated only when it reaches the number of purchasers set for the purchased product.

Also, the calculated first purchase points may be paid to the buyers (in order according to the order of purchase) according to the temporary payment or the cumulative payment method.

That is, the first purchase point may include a first temporary payment point and a first cumulative payment point, wherein the first temporary payment point is a point provided by a temporary payment request every time the first purchase point is created, The first accumulated payout point is a point given a value obtained by multiplying the set point rate set in the set number of purchasers when the set number of buyers is reached.

For example, to describe the purchase point creation process in more detail,

The number of buyers (the number of purchasers capable of creating purchase points) set in the product A is three and the product A is the product A (the sales amount is 10,000 won) Assuming that the set point payout ratio is 1% of the sales amount, a plurality of purchasers (2, 3, and 4) The generated purchase point value is 3 * (10,000 * 0.01) = 300 points is generated and paid to the first member.

At this time, if the second member generates one more purchaser (fifth member) for the product A, the purchasing point (300 points) is generated and paid to the second member.

In addition, the generated purchase points can be temporarily paid according to the payment method or cumulatively accumulated.

For example, to illustrate the process of creating a temporary payment point and a cumulative payment point,

First, there is a first member who has first purchased the product B (the sales amount is 5,000 won) registered on the website, and the number of buyers (the number of buyers who can generate the temporary payment points) If the accumulated number of purchasers (the number of purchasers who can generate cumulative payment points) is 10, the rate of the temporary payment points set in the product B is 0.1% of the sales amount, and the cumulative payment points are 1% of the sales amount, If two more purchasers (2 and 3) are purchased for B, then a temporary payment point of 2 * (5,000 * 0.001) = 10 points will be calculated and paid to the first member.

In addition, if 10 purchasers of product B occur (2 times, 3 times ~ 10 times), 1 point will be paid 10 points * (5,000 * 0.01) = 500 points.

Following step S312, it is determined whether the payment is completed to the purchaser according to the calculated and paid first purchase point (S314).

When payment of the first purchase point is completed, the second purchase point payout setting is set (S316).

That is, when the points provider (for example, the web server) completes the payment of the purchase points (the temporary payment points and the cumulative payment points) by the number of times set by the purchaser, the point provider .

Specifically, for example, if there are 10 purchasers (1 to 10 members) for the product C, and 1 is paid for the first purchase point (the first payment point and the first cumulative payment point) If it is in the completed state, it is set to the payment waiting state so as to receive the next purchase point payment (second purchase point).

The first member set to be in a state of payout is set to the state of waiting for payment in the order of the first member and the next purchasing point if the payment of the purchase point is completed in order from the member of the second member in order from the second member, The next purchase point is provided to the first member, and then the next purchase point generated from the second member in order is provided.

That is, if one member has completed the point payment, the next point is paid to the next point payment state, and the point is continuously paid.

Following the above step S316, the corresponding purchaser who is set to be paid to receive the second purchasing point when the number of purchasers set to calculate the second purchasing point is reached (S318).

And determines whether payment of the second purchase point is completed (S320).

Here, the number of times of payment of the purchase points (the temporary payment points and the cumulative payment points) received by the member No. 1 is not terminated once (first purchase point) and twice (second purchase point) You can get paid every time you reach the number of buyers set for each.

The cumulative payment count (the number of times of payment of the next purchase point) of the purchase points described above is determined by the product (product A, product B, product C, etc.), product group (first product group, second product group, And the like, which can be easily changed by those skilled in the art.

Similarly, the set number of purchasers (separately set according to the temporary payment or the cumulative payment and the cumulative payment frequency) can be flexibly changed from the web server 300 according to the product, product group, product amount, and company policy.

At this time, the number of changed purchasers may be announced via the website according to the policy of the point provider.

Also, the point payment ratio (temporary payment point payment ratio or accumulated payment point payment ratio) allocated to the product can be flexibly changed from the web server 300 according to the product, product group, product amount, company policy, and the like.

The purchase points paid here can be used for electronic commerce by switching to cyber money for use as cash.

Particularly, the purchasing points are accumulated at least once, and more points are paid (accumulated) each time accumulation is made, thereby making it easier to purchase products using the purchasing points.

In addition, the point payment ratio may be set at a rate which is gradually getting closer to the product amount according to the cumulative number of points in comparison with the product amount, but this is a part that a person skilled in the art can easily change according to the policy.

In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed preferred embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing the invention only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims or the claims. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.

According to the accumulated purchase point providing method and system using the plurality of purchasers of the present invention as described above, by accumulating accumulated purchase points according to the number of purchasers, the purchasing desires of the purchaser, expectation hearing, compensation hearing, (Point provider or e-commerce site), and it is also advantageous in that e-commerce can be further promoted by facilitating purchase of products using points paid to buyers.
