Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a diagram showing an overall schematic diagram of a system for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, showing a server 11, user computers 13 and an internet network 12 that provide an e-commerce service.

Every computer connected to the Internet has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address (address) that is unique in the world. Even users who connect to the Internet through a modem have an IP address. Instead, the modem user's IP address changes each time he makes a call. An IP address is made up of four numbers separated by dots (.), Ranging from 1 to 255 (eg 128.68.109.16). Information coming and going on the Internet can get to the correct destination without getting lost because the IP address can be used to accurately specify the destination.

For example, if the IP address assigned to the modem via modem is "128.68.89.16" and the Disney IP address is "208.218.3.1", then the access to Disney's homepage is "208.218.3.1". It can be assumed that a computer with a request to send a file to the computer with the address "128.68.89.16".

The Internet can communicate by designating a sufficiently different party with only an IP address. However, because IP addresses are so difficult to remember, it is not easy to use the Internet with only IP addresses. So the domain name is created. A domain name is an IP address assigned to an alphabetic name. It is made up of four words separated by dots (for example, microsoft.com).

2 is a flowchart illustrating a member company and a member registration process in the electronic commerce method according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a form of data stored in a server by the registration process of FIG. 2.

In FIG. 2, the member company registration process 21 is to determine a group of users who can perform e-commerce provided by a server, and is a process of granting membership of a member company to a group consisting of terminals using the same IP address. For example, registering "A" as a member means registering the IP address used by "A" with the server. Member registration is possible only through the registered member's terminal, and when applying for membership (22), the server first checks the IP address of the connected user terminal to check whether it is connected from the registered member's terminal, and if it is confirmed, the member (23).

Reference numeral 31 in FIG. 3 represents a database that stores IP addresses of registered member companies. The IP address is divided into four numbers, but the common display for the terminal used by the member company may include three numbers. Referring to FIG. 3, reference numeral 32 denotes a database that stores IDs / passwords of registered members in association with a registered specific IP address, and is provided corresponding to each registered IP address. Reference numeral 33 in Fig. 3 represents a database for storing member information for each member, and is provided in correspondence with member ID / password. Member information includes personal information including name, social security number, address, telephone number and e-mail address, workplace information including company name, department / job title, telephone number and address, and card type, card number and validity. Card information including a period and the like. Personal information is related to the subject and place to send purchases to confirm the identity of the member, card information is information for payment means associated with the purchase transaction, bank debit account information can be used in place of the card information. .

When the user connects to the server 11 from the user's terminal 13 through the Internet communication network 12, the IP address of the terminal requesting the connection is detected, and the detected IP address is the IP address of the member company registered in the member company database 31. It is checked whether there is a match, and also whether the ID and password input from the user belong to the member registered in the member ID database 32.

The server provides an environment in which the user can e-commerce, and stores the purchase history according to the user's buying behavior, sends out the purchase items according to the personal information of the member information database 33, and charges the purchase price according to the card information. It can form a deal.

In addition, the server may store the initial screen defined for the registered member companies, and when the user is connected, the initial screen of the member company corresponding to the IP address is transmitted to the user's terminal for display and then an e-commerce environment. can do.

4A and 4B are flowcharts illustrating an electronic commerce method according to the present invention. First, in order to form an e-commerce, as described above, IP addresses of members, IDs and passwords of members must be stored in a database of a server.

When the user tries to connect (41) to the server through the Internet communication network from the computer used by the user, the server detects (42) the IP address of the computer requesting the connection. Here, if the user computer is connected to the Internet using an IP address assigned by the member company's network administrator, the user computer has a common address portion with the registered member company IP address. For example, if the IP address of each computer is displayed as "210.108.10.147", "210.108.10.151", etc., the member company's IP address is displayed as "210.108.10" and this IP address is registered in the member company database. have.

The IP address of the user computer is compared with the IP addresses stored in the member company database to check whether there is the same (43). If the same IP address does not exist, it means that the terminal using the unregistered IP address is connected to the server. In this case, the process of FIG. 4B is performed. If the same IP address exists, it means that it is a registered member company. Perform 44.

When the registration of each member company is registered in the server, information on an appropriate initial screen for the member company is set in advance. When the user computer and the server are connected to each other, the initial screen corresponding to the member company is transmitted to the user's terminal for display. 45).

The server provides an environment where customers can select and view shopping mall information such as home appliances, computer devices, books / records, and service mall information such as hotels / condos, travel, and academy, and when a user selects a product, its appearance and price Information about the performance, performance, etc. The user can select a product by clicking on a product to purchase (46).

When all purchases are completed, the user enters his ID and password (47), and the server searches the member ID database to confirm that the entered ID and password belong to the registered member (47). When it is confirmed that the registered member (49), a transaction is established, and the server operator delivers the purchased product to the user's address, and charges the charge through the member's account or payment card (51). If it is not the registered member's ID, the environment for registering as a member is provided (50). In step 44, the member computer can be registered only when the user computer is connected to the server through the member company's IP address.

If the IP address of the user computer connected to the server is not stored in the member company database, the process of FIG. 4B is performed. In this case, first, the user's ID and password are input (52), and it is checked whether the user's ID and password belong to a member registered in the member ID database (53). If the user is identified as a registered member (54), the initial screen corresponding to the member company to which the member belongs is transmitted and displayed to the user's terminal (55), and the process proceeds to the purchase process 46 of FIG. 4A. If the user is not a registered member (54), the user is not allowed to access the e-commerce. Therefore, once a member is registered through a terminal sharing the IP address of the member, the member can access the server from any computer through his / her ID and password and perform e-commerce. This requires that all members have a unique ID, even if they are different.

On the other hand, the embodiments of the present invention described above can be written as a program that can be executed on a computer. And it can be implemented in a general-purpose digital computer for operating the program from a medium used in the computer. The medium includes a storage medium such as a magnetic storage medium (eg, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), an optical reading medium (eg, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.).

As described above, according to the electronic commerce method and system according to the present invention, in operating the electronic shopping mall, registered member companies having a certain qualification, only those members belonging to the member company are registered as members, and the IP address connected in the shopping mall operation. By using the registered member can be processed so that only the purchase behavior, there is an advantage that can implement the e-commerce based on credit. Therefore, the server operating the e-commerce can join a group that is guaranteed a certain credit status as a member company and only employees belonging to the member company to be registered as a member. This can indirectly guarantee a member's credit situation. In addition, by operating an e-commerce targeting only specific member companies, not only the initial screen corresponding thereto can be displayed but also various services differentiated according to the characteristics of the member companies can be provided.
