Description

Joint purchase system and joint purchase method according to sales price calculation method {JOINT BUYING SYSTEM AND JOINT BUYING METHOD FOR CALCULATING SALE PRICE}

The present invention relates to a joint purchase system and a joint purchase method, and more particularly, to a joint purchase system and a joint purchase method according to a sales price calculation method that can calculate the sales price in real time.

Co-purchase means a purchase type that can secure a large number of buyers and lower the selling price of goods as proportional to the number of buyers. In terms of product sellers, it is possible to secure stable buyers. Sales can be promoted, and the buyer has the advantage of being able to purchase a desired product at a reduced price.

In other words, the joint purchase can not only overcome the uncertainty of the market situation for the sale or purchase, but can also be a system that can satisfy both the seller and the buyer by applying the method of sale of peeled off-sold (薄利 多 賣). .

The purchase of goods by co-purchasing currently used is performed by the entity performing the service, whether individual or a predetermined group, for a predetermined period of time for the purchase of buyers for the co-purchased goods. It is used as a method to determine the discount rate of joint purchase through pre- or post negotiation and to purchase at the joint purchase price determined accordingly.

Therefore, this conventional joint purchase method takes a lot of time for pre- or post-negotiation, it takes a considerable time until the actual transaction after the negotiation, in particular, there is a disadvantage that both the buyer and the seller can not predict the price. That is, the conventional method has a problem in that both the speed of the transaction and the profit of the joint purchase cannot be combined.

In addition, since joint purchase is generally made when a certain quantity of purchases is secured, joint purchase is attempted only for some popular items that are expected to have high preference, and joint purchase method is used for items with low or no preference. Since this is not even attempted, it can be said that buyers and sellers have difficulty in pursuing mutual benefit through joint purchase.

An object of the present invention is to provide a buyer-linked joint purchase system and a joint purchase method that can lower the purchase price of the buyer through the joint purchase and activate the seller's sales to pursue mutual benefits between the buyer and the seller.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a buyer-linked co-purchase system and a co-purchase method that can be easily reflected in the selling price when the number of buyers increases due to the increase in the number of purchases through marketing.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a buyer-linked joint purchase system and a joint purchase method that can achieve the original purpose pursued by the joint purchase, by the buyer predicting the sale price and participating in active marketing for discounting the sale price. There is.

Still other objects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a joint purchase system according to a sales price calculation method includes a database unit for storing and managing sales information presented by a plurality of sellers; An input unit to which purchase information input by a plurality of buyers is input; A calculator configured to determine a final selling price according to the selling information with respect to purchase objects included in the purchasing information; And an output unit for outputting the determined final selling price, wherein the selling information includes the expected selling price in multiple stages according to the sales quantity.

The expected selling price may include an expected immediate selling price and an expected period selling price according to the selling time, and the selling information may include a selling period for the expected period selling price.

The purchase information includes an immediate purchase intention and a period purchase intention and a purchase quantity according to a purchase time, and when the purchase information is an intentional purchase intention, the calculation unit determines the final selling price at the lowest of the expected immediate selling prices. The output unit outputs the final selling price, and when the purchase information is a period purchase intention, the calculation unit sets the final selling price at the lowest price among the expected period selling prices included in the sale information corresponding to the period purchasing intention. The output unit may determine the final selling price and the selling period.

The operation unit may collect the purchase quantity provided with the actual period purchase doctors presented by the purchaser and other buyers, and determine the final selling price at the lowest price according to the collected purchase quantity.

The joint purchase system further includes a management server including the database unit, the input unit, the calculation unit, and the output unit, and one or more buyer clients that transmit and receive the purchase information and the sale information with the management server. The client may transmit a search word input by the buyer to the management server, and the management server may transmit the sale information related to the search word to the buyer client.

The joint purchase system further includes a management server including the database unit, the input unit, the operation unit, and the output unit, and one or more buyer clients that transmit and receive the purchase information and the sale information with the management server. The server may transmit the completed joint purchase details or the ongoing joint purchase details to the buyer client according to the buyer's request.

The buyer client transmits the purchase information input by the buyer to the management server, and the purchase information may be the name of a product or service to be purchased by the buyer or may include a standard code of the product or service.

The buyer client may have a camera and an image processing system capable of recognizing barcodes associated with the goods or services.

According to the present invention, by activating the joint purchase it is possible to lower the purchase price of the buyer and to activate the sale of the seller to pursue mutual benefits between the buyer and the seller.

In addition, the buyer can predict the selling price and participate in active marketing for selling price discount, thereby achieving the original purpose of the joint purchase.

In addition, when the purchaser increases through the marketing of the buyer, and thus the purchase quantity increases, this can be easily reflected in the selling price, through which the buyer can purchase at a reasonable price.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. The embodiments of the present invention can be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described below. The embodiments are provided to explain the present invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Accordingly, the shape of each element shown in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description.

1 and 2 is a diagram schematically showing a joint purchase system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the joint purchase system includes a buyer client, a seller client, and a management server. The buyer client may be a personal computer (PC) or mobile device (eg, a portable terminal such as a smartphone, personal digital assistant, or laptop) provided to the buyer. The purchaser client has a communication function that can utilize a wired or wireless communication network, the buyer can access the management server through the buyer client. In this case, the purchaser may access the management server through an Internet browser or a separate application (or application). Similarly, the seller client may be a personal computer or mobile device provided to the seller, and the seller client may have a communication function. The seller can access the management server through the seller client. 1 illustrates one buyer client and one seller client, this is merely exemplary, and a plurality of buyer clients and a plurality of seller clients may access the management server, and the management server and the information may be connected in a connected state. You can give and receive.

The management server may include an input unit, an operation unit, an output unit, and a DB unit. The input unit receives the purchase information sent by the buyer client and delivers it to the operation unit, or receives the sales information sent by the seller client and sends it to the DB. The DB unit stores the sales information sent by the input unit or transfers the stored sales information to the calculation unit. The calculating unit collects the purchase information delivered by the input unit and the sale information delivered by the DB unit, and compares the purchase information with the sales information to determine the final selling price. The output unit sends the final selling price or information inside the management server determined by the calculating unit to the buyer client or seller client, the buyer or seller can confirm the final selling price or information through the buyer client or seller client.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 2, the process of making a joint purchase through a joint purchase system will be described. First, the seller accesses the management server through the seller client, and the seller transmits his sales information to the management server through the seller client. In this case, the sales information includes a name or standard code of an object (eg, a product or a service) to be sold, and an expected selling price of the object to be sold.

The category (eg, home appliances, daily necessities, fashion, infants, services, insurance, etc.) classified in the management server (or DB unit) is already stored. The seller selects a category according to the object he / she wants to sell and sends the sales information, and the sent sales information is stored in the corresponding category. In this manner, the plurality of sellers select a category according to the sale target and then send the sale information, and the sold sale information is stored in the corresponding category while classified according to the category.

In this case, when a plurality of sellers provide sales information (for example, a sales period or an expected selling price) about the same product or service, the selling information is stored in a community opened in the corresponding category. Community means a community of people who want to sell or purchase the same goods or services. When a seller registers a product or service that a seller wants to sell or registers a product or service that a buyer wants to purchase, a community may be created within the category for the registered product or service and stored in the management server. After searching, you can participate in joint purchases of goods or services based on the community. In this case, when the buyer participates in the joint purchase, the buyer automatically joins the corresponding community, and the buyer can receive the progress information of the joint purchase from the community in the form of a message or an email. On the other hand, when the joint purchase is made and payment and delivery is completed, the buyer is automatically withdrawn from the community, through which all of the buyer's personal information is deleted from the community. Accordingly, the buyer can protect his or her personal information and not receive unnecessary messages (eg, spam or advertisement messages) from the community.

On the other hand, the category may be provided in the form of a tree in which the lower category is included under the upper category, for example, there may be a lower category such as diapers, milk powder, baby carriage, etc. under the upper category 'infant'. Therefore, the seller may select the upper category and lower category suitable for the selling target and store the selling information.

The sales information stored in the DB part includes the expected sales price in multiple stages according to the sales quantity. 3 is an example of sales information stored in the DB unit shown in FIG. 1, and shows an expected selling price for the same selling target. As shown in FIG. 3, the seller may present a discounted price as the sales quantity increases (1-9, 10-49, 50-99, 100-).

As described above, the joint purchase is a system in which the seller and the buyer can pursue mutual benefits by lowering the selling price of the product in proportion to the sales volume. Therefore, if the sales volume increases, the lower sales price can be suggested, thereby inducing individual buyers to not only increase the overall sales volume but also improve the overall profit, and at the same time, the individual buyers can purchase the lower price. will be. However, sellers (eg, A, B, C) may offer different expected selling prices, and the expected selling price may vary depending on the quantity sold. Of course, the expected selling price shown in FIG. 3 is merely an example.

The estimated selling price may include an immediate selling price and an expected period selling price. Estimated selling price means that the seller sets the selling period (for example, it can be set to the same day or until the closing date after 1 to 10 days) and recruits the buyer by the set selling period and sells it to the recruited buyers ( 'Term sale'), which means the price to be sold to the buyers recruited. This is to recruit a large number of buyers during the sales period, and to sell at a low price by the sales method of peeled off depending on the purchase quantity of the recruited buyers. Through this, the buyer can realize the purchase at a low price, and the seller can realize the sufficient profit through the increase in the sales volume, thereby pursuing mutual benefits. In particular, the individual buyers can lower the selling price by actively participating in the marketing so that the maximum number of buyers can be recruited, the seller has the advantage that can further increase the sales volume.

However, as described above, the expected selling price may vary depending on the seller (eg, A, B, C), and likewise, the selling period may vary depending on the seller's circumstances.

The expected immediate selling price is the price at which the seller sells immediately upon the buyer's request ('immediate sale'), which is then sold to the buyer. Some buyers may not have enough time and may need to make a purchase immediately, even at a relatively high price, in which case they can buy at an expected selling price higher than the expected selling price. That is, in the case of period sale, there is a disadvantage that the buyer has to wait until the sale period elapses, and as shown in FIG. 3, the expected period sale price is cheaper than the expected sale price immediately.

Meanwhile, each buyer may access the management server through the buyer client, and the buyer client may have an internet browser or a separate application (or application). 4 to 8 are diagrams showing screens provided to the buyer client shown in FIG. 1, such a screen may be provided as a separate application or provided through a website, and the buyer may display such a screen (or a GUI). (graphic user interface) can be accessed from the management server.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the buyer selects a search menu (as described above, menus such as 'search', 'History', 'current community' and 'popular community' shown in FIG. Or, it may be provided through a website), a search for a desired community by inputting a search word (for example, a brand name such as a diaper) corresponding to a purchase object in a community search window.

The purchaser client sends the information about the input search word to the management server, and after receiving the information on the search word, the management server can search the sales information about the search word from the DB and send it to the buyer client. That is, after searching whether there is a corresponding community or sales information registered by a seller in the community, the search result may be transmitted to the buyer client. For example, when a diaper is searched for, the information about the selling target (for example, Huggies large, Huggies medium or bosom, etc.) registered by the seller may be searched according to the manufacturer or product history of the diaper. You can check the search results. The search result may be sales information input by the sellers and may be substantially the same as the sales information illustrated in FIG. 3.

On the other hand, unlike the present embodiment, the purchaser client may be provided with a camera (not shown) and an image processing system (not shown) capable of recognizing a barcode. Barcodes contain information about what is being purchased (for example, the product's packaging typically contains a barcode that contains the product's information), and the purchaser uses the camera to take a barcode and read it through an image processing system. Thus, information about the purchase object can be input to the buyer client. In this case, the buyer can easily input the information on the purchase object without having to input a separate search word, and the buyer client can provide the management server with accurate information related to the purchase object.

In addition, the buyer can find a desired purchase target through a category in addition to a search method. For example, as described above, since the sales information input by the seller is stored in the corresponding category in the DB unit, the buyer can find a purchase target through the desired category. For example, the buyer may select the 'diaper' category within the 'infant' category shown in FIG. 4, and the seller stores the information about the joint purchase corresponding to the 'diaper' in the category. In the category, you can apply for joint purchases by selecting registered sales targets by manufacturer or product details.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the buyer can find out the joint purchase history (for example, X car SUV, X insurance, etc.) participating in the current through the community, as shown in Figure 6 In addition, they can participate in the on-going community to exchange opinions and information on joint purchases. For example, with insurance X, you can show a comparison of premiums for insurance X. In addition, reviews of buyers using X insurance (e.g., buyers write about the pros and cons after using the service) or product information from Y insurance with a design similar to X insurance (e.g., Y insurance discount information) can be provided.

In addition, as shown in Figure 7, the purchaser can grasp the popular purchase history (for example, X eye and LASIK surgery, best-selling L novel M, etc.) that is being popular through the popular community, one of these You can choose to apply for a joint purchase. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, the buyer client can also indicate the details of the co-auction was participated (for example, A packing director, xx milk powder stage 3, XX diaper medium, etc.).

After the buyer selects a purchase target (eg, Huggies medium) through search or selection, the buyer inputs the virtual purchase information through the buyer client. The input virtual purchase information is sent to the management server, and the management server provides the virtual final selling price determined by the calculation unit according to the purchase information. A detailed method of determining the virtual final selling price will be described later.

Next, the buyer determines the actual purchase or not by referring to the virtual final selling price, and if the user wants to make an actual purchase, the buyer tries to purchase by inputting the actual purchase information through the buyer client. The entered actual purchase information is sent to the management server, and the management server determines the actual final selling price according to the purchase information and sends it to the buyer client and the seller client so that the buyer and seller can set the actual final selling price through the buyer client and the seller client. You can check it. A detailed method of determining the actual final selling price will be described later.

The seller inputs a sales intention through the seller client when there is no objection to the determined final final selling price, and the management server sends the sales intention to the buyer client when the sales doctor is received from the seller client. Therefore, the buyer can confirm the seller's intention to sell through the buyer client, and the transaction is made by paying the final selling price received. When the payment is made by the buyer, the management server sends information indicating that the payment is made to the seller client, and the seller can confirm this through the seller client. Therefore, the seller starts to provide (or deliver) the object of sale to the buyer, through which the buyer can receive the object of purchase. The purchaser confirms the purchase through the purchaser's client after receipt, and the management server completes the transaction by depositing the sales price to the seller and notifying the seller's client of the deposit if the purchase is confirmed.

9 is a view showing a method of determining the final selling price in the management server shown in FIG. The following description may be applied to the method of determining the actual final selling price, or may be applied to both the virtual final selling price and the method of determining the actual final selling price. The virtual purchase information and the actual purchase information may both include a period purchase intention and an immediate purchase intention. As described above, the term purchase means that the sale is made after a period set by the seller has elapsed.

The calculating unit determines the final selling price in a different manner depending on whether the purchase intention information included in the purchase information is a purchase intention or a purchase intention immediately. First, in the case of an immediate purchase intention, rather than a period purchase intention, the calculation unit determines the final selling price at the lowest of the expected instantaneous selling prices entered by the seller for the corresponding selling target. That is, based on the purchase quantity provided by the buyer with the immediate purchase doctor, the lowest selling price is determined as the final selling price from the expected immediate selling price entered by the seller. For example, based on the sales information shown in FIG. 3, when the purchase quantity is 30, 9,500 won corresponding to the lowest price is determined as the final selling price. On the other hand, it is possible to determine the final selling price by collecting the buyers who have expressed their intention to buy immediately, counting the purchase quantity of the collected buyers, and determining the lowest price based on the aggregated purchase quantity.

Next, in the case of a period purchase intention, the calculation unit collects the period purchase intentions of the buyers corresponding to the sale period after the sale period set by the seller (for example, collects the period purchase intention by the deadline) and calculates the purchase amount. To count. Then, the final selling price is determined as the lowest of the estimated period selling prices entered by the seller according to the aggregated purchase amount. For example, based on the sales information shown in FIG. 3, when the total purchase amount is 80, 8,700 won corresponding to the lowest price is determined as the final selling price.

According to the above, sellers can not only increase the sales volume through joint purchase, but also increase profits through peeled off purchases, and buyers can purchase at reasonable prices by increasing the price negotiating power by securing a large number of purchases. Therefore, there is an advantage that can pursue mutual benefits. In particular, the buyer can lower the purchase price by inducing the purchase of acquaintances through word of mouth, and the seller can induce the active marketing of the buyer.

Although the present invention has been described in detail by way of preferred embodiments thereof, other forms of embodiment are possible. Therefore, the technical idea and scope of the claims set forth below are not limited to the preferred embodiments.
