Description

{SYSTEM OFFERING AN ESTIMATE AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to an on-line quotation system and an on-line quotation method. More specifically, the present invention analyzes a determined value determined by an on-line quotation to allow a user to recognize a base price before requesting a quotation, To an on-line quotation system and an on-line quotation method.

Thanks to the development of information and communication technology, all office work has recently been carried out using computers. In particular, even in general commercial transactions, bookkeeping and inventory management are performed using programs such as Excel using personal computers.

On the other hand, it is common that business operators engaged in general commercial transactions send a quotation to the purchaser in advance about the cost history of the product or service in selling the product or service. However, the present general commercial transaction quotation is created and transmitted to the other party by directly inputting the product name, unit price, quantity, etc. in the form of the quotation form or the word processor printed by the user, After the calculation is completed, the quotation is completed, and the quotation is printed out and faxed. In a simpler way, there is a method of storing a quotation written in advance as a word file and generating a quotation by modifying the past data to fit the current quotation if necessary.

However, these methods are not only highly prone to make a calculation mistake in the process of estimating, but also have a problem that a quotation can not be prepared and sent outside the office when there is no computer in which the existing data is stored.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, a method and apparatus for providing an electronic quotation (Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0054823) has been proposed. However, the method and apparatus for providing an electronic quotation is not limited to the preparation and transmission of a quote And it is difficult to reduce the difficulty of estimating the cost of preparing a quotation.

The quotation means to calculate and submit the construction cost statement to the contractor or the original contractor for the order of the construction company. The unit price applied to the quotation is the material cost, the labor cost, the expense, . In order to prevent the price of the quotation from being set too high or too low, it is required that the quotation is made using the standard one major price and the practical one great price, and the material cost is set by a professional price inspection agency (transaction price, price information, ), Or the unit price or procurement unit price. Even with these materials, it is very difficult to write a quotation.

As a conventional technique for efficiently estimating a quotation, a 'method for preparing a quotation on the web where the quotation information can be shared' (Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2005-0111091) has been proposed. However, in 'How to make a quote on the web where the quotation information can be shared', quotation information used by a large number of quotation companies can be automatically collected, surveyed or shared through online, and a lot of data accumulated in the database Although we propose to apply the verified information to the quotation, 'Estimation method of quotation on the web where the quotation information can be shared' is only a quote to the average value of the quoted price except the lowest value and the lowest value. And there is a disadvantage that the reliability of the quotation is insufficient.

The present invention is to provide an online quotation system and an online quotation method that enable reliable online quotations to be offered to a user, thereby enabling smooth online transactions.

A first aspect of the disclosed technology for achieving the above object is to provide a service providing system that is capable of providing a first estimate price offered by a first seller, a second estimate price presented by a second seller, ..., and N A quotation database for matching and storing the N-quoted price offered by the seller; A transaction information database for storing and storing the service quotation selected from the buyer among the first quotation price, the second quotation price, ..., and the N quote price; A quotation price calculation unit for calculating a reference quotation price for each service category from the voting information database and providing the reference quotation price to the new purchaser; And an antecedent execution unit for receiving a new service description and a service presenting bid and receiving a bid for the service presenting from each seller, wherein the N is a natural number greater than 1 do.

Meanwhile, the bid prices bidded from each seller in the reverse auction execution unit are stored in the quotation database matching the new service details,

The bids selected from the new buyers among the bids from the sellers are stored in the participation information database by matching with the new service details.

When the reverse auction execution unit receives the new service details and the service offer information from the new buyer, the new service details and the service offer information are pushed to each seller registered in the online quotation system.

At this time, the service details are inputted through a template form classified according to each category.

According to a second aspect of the disclosed technology, there is provided an information processing system comprising (a) a first estimate price presented by a first seller for a service description presented by a buyer in a quotation database, a second estimate price presented by a second seller,. ≪ / RTI > and the Nth quote value suggested by the Nth seller are stored and matched; (b) matching and storing the quotation values selected from the purchaser among the first quotation price, the second quotation price, ..., and the N-quotation price in the voting information database; (c) calculating a reference estimated price for each service description from the voting information database and providing the estimated price to the new purchaser; And (d) a reverse auctioneer performing a bid for the service offer and receiving a new service description and a service offer from the new buyer, wherein N is 1 A larger natural number).

Meanwhile, bids bid in the step (c) are matched with the new service details and stored in the quotation database, and after the step (d), bids selected from the new purchasers are matched with the new service details, / RTI >

The present invention is proposed to solve the reliability problem of the estimated quotient calculated in the prior art. The present invention proposes an on-line quotation system which provides a successful bidder price by presenting the winning bidder to the buyer, And an online quotation method.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the invention, terms used in the present invention are summarized.

In the present invention, 'service details' is used to mean a target that a buyer desires to receive a service. Therefore, goods may be included in the service.

'Buyer' is the entity that orders the service description, and 'Seller' is the entity that receives the service description. Since the buyer and the seller order and receive services using the information communication terminal, it is preferable to understand that all the actions of the buyer and the seller performed in the present invention are performed on the terminals of the buyer and the seller, respectively. The information communication terminal includes a PC, a smart phone, and a tablet PC. All the actions of the buyer and the seller performed in the present invention are performed using an application installed in the information communication terminal.

1 is a block diagram of an online quotation system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the online quotation system 100 includes a quotation database 110, a picking information database 120, a quote calculation unit 130, and a reverse auction execution unit 140.

The quotation database 110 includes a first quotation price presented by the first seller 300-1, a second quotation price presented by the second seller 300-2, and a second quotation price presented by the second seller 300-2 with respect to the service details presented by the purchaser 200. [ And the N-th estimated price offered by the Nth seller (300-N).

Hereinafter, the case where the service details of the purchaser 200 is the vehicle exterior restoration will be described as a concrete example.

First, if the buyer 200 registers a description of the vehicle that he / she wants to restore the appearance of, for example, a bumper replacement (corresponding to the service details) in the online estimation system 100, 300 will present the buyer 200 with the bumper replacement cost. The cost suggested by each vehicle restoration company and each company corresponds to the first estimate offered by the first seller, the second estimate quoted by the second seller, ..., and the Nth seller, The proposed restoration costs correspond to the first estimate, the second estimate, ..., and the N estimate.

The voting information database 120 stores and matches the service quotation selected from the buyer 200 among the first estimate price, the second estimate price, ..., and the N estimate price. For example, when the purchaser 200 selects the second quotation price presented by the second seller, the bumper replacement (service details) and the second quotation value are stored in the transaction information database 120 in a matching manner. According to the embodiment, the service details and estimates are stored by dedicated templates provided for each type of business. Since service details are different for each type of industry, the index efficiency of data can be increased by using a common template form.

The estimated price calculation unit 130 calculates a reference estimated price for each service category from the voting information database 120, calculates a service offer price based on the calculated reference price, and transmits the calculated service offer price to the reverse auction execution unit 140. The 'Estimated Estimate' refers to the estimate of the service for which the actual transaction between the previous purchaser and the seller was made (eg, the second estimate).

According to the embodiment, the 'service offer price' may be set equal to or different from the reference price estimate. If the new service is the same as the service estimate of the reference estimate, the service offer will be the same as the reference estimate. If the service conditions of the new service are analyzed as the agreement of the conventional reference estimators, the service estimator can be set to the sum of the reference estimates.

For example, if the base estimate for the front bumper replacement estimate is X, the base estimate for the rear bumper replacement estimate is Y, and the new service breakdown is for the front bumper and rear bumper replacement, .

In addition, if the service condition of the new service is analyzed as a proportional relationship with the conventional reference price, the service bid can be set to the value based on the proportional rate to the reference price.

For example, in the case of sheet metal painting, if the standard price for painting the first door of the door is A, and the new service request is a request to plate the second door, the service bid can be set at twice the value of A have.

Meanwhile, according to various embodiments, the quotation price calculator 130 may calculate the reference quotation price for each service description from the participation information database 120 and provide it directly to the new purchaser.

For example, if a new buyer desires to replace the bumper, the new buyer can receive the same service description or similar service description as the desired service description from the estimate price calculation unit 130. The provision of the service includes the provision of a base estimate.

The quotation price calculation unit 130 compares the service details registered in the online quotation system 100 by the new purchaser with the service details stored in the voting information database 120 and provides the reference quotation for the same or similar service description to the new purchaser can do.

According to the embodiment, the estimate price calculation unit 130 may provide the calculated reference estimate price to the seller registered in the online estimation system 100.

Since the reference estimator is a trade secret in the seller's viewpoint, the online quotation system 100 operator can pay a predetermined fee from the sellers and have the seller browse the engagement information database 120.

Therefore, the seller 300 can present a quotation and a bid for the new service details of the buyer with reference to the reference quotation.

The reverse auction execution unit 140 receives a new service description and a service offer from a new buyer, and receives a bid for service presentation from each seller. That is, the bid price is presented.

The service proposal may be calculated based on the reference estimated price received from the information database 120 by the estimation price calculating unit 130 and may be an amount that the purchaser may arbitrarily suggest by referring to the reference estimated price according to the embodiment. Accordingly, the service offer may be higher or lower than the reference quotation, depending on the details of the new service.

When the reverse auction execution unit 140 receives a new service description, for example, a bumper replacement and a service presentation from the new purchaser, each vehicle restoration company that subscribes to the online estimation system 100 presents the bumper replacement cost to the buyer inversely . The new buyer can present the service offer price by referring to the reference estimate price, and it is easier to select the vehicle restoration company when the reference estimate price is not referred to.

For easy calculation of the base estimate, it is desirable to input the service details through the template form classified by each category. If the service details are classified into categories and stored in the check information database 120, the estimate price calculation unit 130 can quickly provide the same or similar service details to the new buyer.

On the other hand, the bids bid through the reverse auction execution unit 140 are stored in the estimate database 110 matching the new service details, and the bids selected from the new buyers among the bids from each seller are matched with the new service details, And is stored in the database 130. That is, the bid selected from the new buyer becomes a quotation which is actually concluded between the new buyer and the seller, and is stored in the delegation database 130 for use as a " reference quotation. &Quot;

According to various embodiments of the present invention, when the reverse auction execution unit 140 receives a new service description and a service presenting proposal from a buyer, the online estimation system 100 notifies each seller registered in the online estimation system 100 of the new service details And PUSH the service presentation. That is, the sellers can respond to the request of the seller in real time through the alarm when the new service is registered.

Similarly, the online quotation system 100, when receiving a bid from the seller of the reverse auction execution unit 140, pushes the bid to the buyer so that the bid can be promptly ordered.

FIG. 2 is a buyer quotation request screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the buyer can request a quotation by selecting a category from the input form. If you select a quotation request that matches the type of business on the form screen, you will be provided with an input screen tailored to the type of business (service details).

FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D are examples of template input screens classified according to categories according to service details, and it is understood that a dedicated quotation form is provided for requesting moving, traveling, car rental, and insurance quotation, respectively. The template input screen is provided to the buyer and the seller.

4 is a flowchart of an online quotation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 also corresponds to the present embodiment even when the on-line quotation system 100 of FIG. 1 is implemented in a time series manner. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to an online quotation database 110, a picking information database 120, a quotation price calculator 130, The portion described with respect to the portion 140 is applied as it is in this embodiment as it is.

An online quotation method according to an embodiment includes a first estimate price presented by a first seller, a second estimate price presented by a second seller, ..., and an Nth seller presented to a quotation database, (S410) in which an Nth quotation price is matched and stored, and the quotation price selected from the buyer among the first quotation price, the second quotation price, ..., and the Nth quotation price is matched and stored in the coupon information database (S430). The estimated price calculation unit calculates a reference estimated price for each service category from the voting information database and provides the estimated price to the new purchaser (S430). The reverse auctioneer performs a process of receiving a new service description and a service offer from the new purchaser , And performing a bid for the service offer (S440).

In step S410, the quotation database 110 stores the first estimate price presented by the first seller 300-1, the second estimate price presented by the second seller 300-2 for the service details presented by the buyer 200, , ...., and the Nth estimated price presented by the Nth seller (300-N).

Hereinafter, the case where the service details of the purchaser 200 is the vehicle exterior restoration will be described as a concrete example.

First, if the buyer 200 registers a description of the vehicle that he / she wants to restore the appearance of, for example, a bumper replacement (corresponding to the service details) in the online estimation system 100, 300 will present the buyer 200 with the bumper replacement cost. The cost suggested by each vehicle restoration company and each company corresponds to the first estimate offered by the first seller, the second estimate quoted by the second seller, ..., and the Nth seller, The proposed restoration costs correspond to the first estimate, the second estimate, ..., and the N estimate.

In step S420, the voting information database 120 matches and stores the service quotation selected from the buyer 200 among the first quotation price, the second quotation price, ..., and the Nth quotation price. For example, when the purchaser 200 selects the second quotation price presented by the second seller, the bumper replacement (service details) and the second quotation value are stored in the transaction information database 120 in a matching manner. According to the embodiment, the service details and estimates are stored by dedicated templates provided for each type of business.

In step S430, the estimate price calculation unit 130 calculates a reference estimate price for each service category from the voting information database 120, calculates the service offer value based on the calculated reference price, and transmits the service offer value to the reverse auction execution unit 140 do. The 'Estimated Estimate' refers to the estimate of the service for which the actual transaction between the previous purchaser and the seller was made (eg, the second estimate).

According to the embodiment, the 'service offer price' may be set equal to or different from the reference price estimate. If the new service is the same as the service estimate of the reference estimate, the service offer will be the same as the reference estimate. If the service conditions of the new service are analyzed as the agreement of the conventional reference estimators, the service estimator can be set to the sum of the reference estimates.

For example, if the base estimate for the front bumper replacement estimate is X, the base estimate for the rear bumper replacement estimate is Y, and the new service breakdown is for the front bumper and rear bumper replacement, .

In addition, if the service condition of the new service is analyzed as a proportional relationship with the conventional reference price, the service bid can be set to the value based on the proportional rate to the reference price.

For example, in the case of sheet metal painting, if the standard price for painting the first door of the door is A, and the new service request is a request to plate the second door, the service bid can be set at twice the value of A have.

Meanwhile, according to various embodiments, the quotation price calculator 130 may calculate the reference quotation price for each service description from the participation information database 120 and provide it directly to the new purchaser.

For example, if a new buyer desires to replace the bumper, the new buyer can receive the same service description or similar service description as the desired service description from the estimate price calculation unit 130. The provision of the service includes the provision of a base estimate.

The quotation price calculation unit 130 compares the service details registered in the online quotation system 100 by the new purchaser with the service details stored in the voting information database 120 and provides the reference quotation for the same or similar service description to the new purchaser can do.

According to the embodiment, the estimate price calculation unit 130 may provide the calculated reference estimate price to the seller registered in the online estimation system 100.

Since the reference estimator is a trade secret in the seller's viewpoint, the online quotation system 100 operator can pay a predetermined fee from the sellers and have the seller browse the engagement information database 120.

Therefore, the seller 300 can present a quotation and a bid for the new service details of the buyer with reference to the reference quotation.

In step S440, the reverse auction execution unit 140 receives a new service description and a service presentation from the new purchaser, and receives a bid for the service presentation from each seller. That is, the bid price is presented.

The service proposal may be calculated based on the reference estimated price received from the information database 120 by the estimation price calculating unit 130 and may be an amount that the purchaser may arbitrarily suggest by referring to the reference estimated price according to the embodiment. Accordingly, the service offer may be higher or lower than the reference quotation, depending on the details of the new service.
