Description

COMPUTER NETWORK SYSTEM FOR MAKING A BUSSINESS ORDER AND METHOD OF THE SAME}

The present invention relates to an electronic commerce system using an internet network, and more particularly, to a computer network system for purchasing a product and requesting a purchase through an internet network and an automatic answering method thereof.

When consumers want to purchase certain goods and services over the Internet, they want to buy them at better prices and terms. For this reason, buyers search through numerous websites to obtain information about specific goods or services they need. For example, it is cumbersome to search for information on a product, supplier information, and purchase conditions by individually searching an internet shopping mall, reverse auction site, bidding site, price comparison site, and information providing site.

If you want to purchase or request goods and services by connecting to the Internet network, it is possible through various methods. For example, how to contact a supplier directly, make a purchase through an internet shopping mall, make a purchase through auction or reverse auction, make a purchase by co-purchase, make a purchase by auction, and make a purchase through a price comparison site. Etc. These methods have limitations and inconveniences such as narrowing the choice of consumers due to limited number of participants, limited number of participating companies, and limited value of commodity price comparison.

In other words, the direct purchase method through a supplier retrieves information on goods and services from many specialized information providing sites, and the buyer directly contacts a plurality of suppliers based on the obtained information. In addition, individual companies are notified of purchase requests and receive quotations.

In the method of purchasing goods and services through an internet shopping mall, when a desired product is selected, there is no comparison target between price and supplier, and other shopping malls are searched for goods and suppliers. In this case, you can buy more expensively than you buy off-line.

Auctioning or reverse auctioning means competition between participants and suppliers in such a way that a number of buyers and suppliers who want to buy or sell a product select a buyer or supplier with a single product and offer the highest or lowest price. Due to the limited objection, it is more expensive to buy than offline, and it is difficult to activate the market.

The joint purchase method is a method in which a plurality of buyers who want to purchase a specific product jointly find a supplier and purchase a product under favorable conditions, so that the number of participants and purchase volume can be achieved. And there is a disadvantage that can not purchase the necessary products in real time.

In the bidding method, when a buyer wants to purchase a product through a notification, a plurality of suppliers offer their own minimum supply price. And if the supplier wants to supply the goods through the announcement, a number of buyers are trading at the lowest price of each buyer. This is limited to the bidding companies because only the company that participated in the bid notice can buy and sell.

Finally, a purchase method using a price comparison site is a site that helps consumers to select a purchase by comparing the price of the same product in the shopping mall opened on each site is also made to buy. This may be more expensive than the price purchased offline because the purchase is made by comparing product prices between shopping malls sold in the virtual space. In addition, it is inconvenient when there are many kinds of products to be purchased because the price inquiry and product information must be searched by product and shopping mall.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a product and supplier information desired by a buyer through the Internet network, and provides a computer network system for requesting quotation of a product and purchasing a product only once through the provided information. To provide. To this end, the present invention is to implement an automatic response method for a product purchase and a purchase request of a computer network system.

Therefore, the Internet business model is implemented by using a computer network system for the purchase of a product and a request for purchase through an internet network and an automatic answering method thereof.

(Example)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a computer network system according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the computer network system is connected to the clients 10, 20 to 24 through the Internet and the plurality of clients 10, 20 to 24, which are consumer and supplier systems such as general operators and corporations. Consisting of a server 40 which is a website operator system. The server 40 and the clients 10, 20 to 24 are typical computer systems, for example, having a central processing unit, a memory, a storage device, an input / output device and a network device.

The server 40 is connected to the Korean telecommunications operator system 30 to receive information (eg, business name, address, telephone number, business registration number and representative name, etc.) of the customer database 32. These will be described in detail later, but this is possible by mutual agreement between the carrier and the website operator.

Referring to FIG. 2, the server 40 includes a new web server 42, a database server 50, a mail server 44, and a facsimile server 46. The server includes a network unit for communicating with the clients 10, 20, and 24 through an internet network. It is also connected to the customer database 32 of the Korean carrier system (30 in FIG. 1).

The database server 50 is provided independently of or included in the web server 42 and includes a consumer information database 52, a supplier information database 54, and a product information database 56. do.

The consumer / supplier information database 52, 54 includes attribute information such as business names, addresses, telephone numbers, business types and business status of general and corporate operators, for example, those who need / provide goods and services and their main businesses. Include business information such as, promotional materials, and handling products. It also includes the company's new product introductions, industry news, terminology descriptions and schematics.

The product information database 56 includes product and service information of the supplier. The product information includes a model name, a standard, a specification, a use, image and video data, a price, and the like of the product.

The web server 42 manages and controls the database server 50. That is, the database server 50 provides the product and the service information and the supplier information to the consumer through the Internet network, and sends a quotation request form to the supplier in response to the product and the service selection and the supplier selection from the consumer. That is, when the consumer selects at least one product and / or service, the web server 42 automatically outputs a list of suppliers who can supply the selected product and / or service. Subsequently, a request for quotation for the selected goods and / or services is automatically sent to the selected plurality of suppliers through the supplier list.

In addition, a quotation received from the supplier is automatically sent to the consumer, and the order is automatically sent to the specific supplier selected from the consumer. In addition, it determines whether members of consumers and suppliers are registered, and manages registered member information.

The mail server and the facsimile servers 44 and 46 are controlled by the web server 42 to transmit a request for quotation for goods and services selected from a plurality of suppliers selected from the consumer by e-mail and facsimile, In response to the quotation request from the two suppliers to the consumer, the quotation is sent to the consumer.

At this time, if the selected provider is not registered as a member, the web server 42 automatically quotes the e-mail and / or facsimile through the supplier information database 54 provided in the database server 50. The request information includes the consumer's outline information (eg, a business name for identifying the consumer). Therefore, suppliers of non-members do not know detailed information (eg, company name, address, telephone number, business registration number and business type, etc.) of the consumer who quoted, and thus, it is difficult to actually conduct a commerce.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the server system shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to the drawings, the server 40 includes a central processing unit 41, a main memory RAM 43, a storage device 45 having various programs and a database, and an internet network interconnected via a bus. It includes a network device 47 for communicating with the clients (10, 20 ~ 24) through the input and output device 49, such as a keyboard, a mouse and a display device.

The storage device 45 includes the novel web server, database server, mail server, and facsimile server shown in FIG. And when the consumer and / or supplier registers as a member, a storage area for granting a member account is provided. The member account is used as a space for mutual transmission of a request for quotation and / or a quote between the consumer and the supplier.

Therefore, if the selected supplier is a member, a request for quotation containing detailed information of the consumer who has made a request to the member account is transmitted.

4 to 8, the detailed operation of the computer network system according to the present invention will be described.

4 is a flow chart schematically showing the overall system procedure for automatically sending a request for quotation and a quotation for the purchase of a product and request for quotation of the computer network system. This procedure represents the process by the actual business model between server and client over the Internet. In other words, since the transaction is interactively performed between the server and the clients online, a single product quotation request and a product purchase are possible.

Referring to the drawing, first, the consumer client 10 searches and inquires product information provided from the server in step S60 and selects a desired product. If it is a member in step S62, the process proceeds to step S64 in which a member ID is input to check a list of suppliers of selected products and at least one of the suppliers is selected. Subsequently, a quotation is requested to the suppliers selected in step S66.

In step S68, the quotations are received from the selected plurality of suppliers, and the details of the products and the purchase conditions are compared. In step S70, the customer selects and orders the supplier. As a result, in step S72, a product purchase is made with the selected specific supplier and payment is made. This can be done with an online payment system or an offline payment method.

If the user is not a member in step S62, the process proceeds to step S74 to register as a member through a predetermined procedure.

The server 40 provides the product information stored from the product information database to the website in step S80. If at least one product is selected from the consumer in step S82, the procedure goes to step S84 to determine whether the connected consumer is a member. If the consumer is a member, the flow advances to step S86 to automatically output a list of suppliers who can supply the selected product. If the consumer is not a member in step S84, the process proceeds to step S94 to request membership registration.

In step S88, a confirmation request is automatically sent to a plurality of suppliers selected from the consumer, and in step S90, a plurality of quotations are received from the selected suppliers and transmitted to the consumer. In step S92, if an order is requested from the consumer, the order is sent to the selected supplier.

When the supplier client 20 to 24 receives the quotation request in step S100, the supplier client 20 to 24 sends a quotation for the product selected in step S104 according to whether or not a member is registered in step S102. That is, if registered as a member in the server 40, the quotation for the selected product is sent in response to the request for quotation. If not, the process proceeds to step S110 to register a member. This allows the supplier to send a quote to the requesting consumer when the member is a member, and can only activate the member registration of the supplier because the supplier only informs the supplier that the information is requested.

In step S106, when a purchase order is received from the server 40 according to the request of the consumer, the product is supplied to the consumer in step S108 and payment is received.

Specifically, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. Fig. 5 shows the detailed operation procedure of the consumer client, Figs. 6A and 6B show the detailed operation procedure of the website operator server and Fig. 7 shows the detailed operation procedure of the provider client. And these procedures are processed by the control unit (not shown: for example, the central processing unit, etc.) of the clients in response to the control of the web server 42.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step S110, the consumer client 10 accesses a website through an internet network. In step S112, the product and service information provided from the server are dry-searched. In operation S114, at least one desired product and / or service is selected based on the inquiry result. Check the list of selected goods and services.

If the user is a member of the website operator system in step S116, the flow advances to step S118 to input a member ID. If not, the process proceeds to step S120 to register a member to receive the service of the website operator system.

In step S122, a list of suppliers capable of supplying the goods and / or services selected in step S114 is checked, and at least one supplier is selected. Subsequently, a quotation is requested to the suppliers selected in step S214.

In step S216, it is determined whether at least one quotation has been received, and when the determination result quotation is received, the procedure proceeds to step S128 to compare and confirm the transaction conditions and the like of the received quotations. Therefore, if there is a supplier of the condition desired by the consumer in step S130, it is selected and ordered.

6A and 6B, the server 40 provides goods and service information stored from the product information database in step S150. In step S152, it is determined whether at least one product is selected from the consumer. If the product and / or service has been selected as a result of the determination, the procedure proceeds to step S154 to determine whether the connected consumer is a member.

That is, if the connected consumer is a member, the procedure proceeds to step S160 to automatically output a list of suppliers for the selected goods and services. If the connected consumer is not a member, the process proceeds to step S156 to register and provide an account of the registered member in step S158. Here, the detailed description of the member registration will be made with reference to FIG. 8.

If at least one supplier is selected in step S162, the flow advances to step S164 to determine whether the selected supplier is a member. If the selected supplier is not registered as a member, it proceeds to step S166 to request membership registration, and then automatically through the supplier information database 54 provided in the database server 50 of FIG. 2 in step S168. And e-mail and / or facsimile, including the outline information of the consumer (e.g., a business name for identifying the consumer) in the quotation request form. Therefore, suppliers of non-members do not know detailed information (for example, business names, addresses, telephone numbers, business registration numbers, and business types, etc.) of the consumers who are quoted, and thus, it is difficult to actually conduct commerce.

If the selected supplier is a member in step S164, the procedure goes to step S170 to automatically transmit a confirmation request including consumer detailed information to the at least one selected provider.

Subsequently, in step S172, a plurality of quotations are accepted from the selected suppliers, and in step S174, the plurality of quotations are sent to the requesting consumer by web account, e-mail, and / or facsimile. In step S176, if an order is requested from the consumer, the flow proceeds to step S178 to transmit the order to the selected supplier. As a result, in step S180, the transaction history information of the consumer who requested the quotation and the suppliers of the selected goods and services is stored in the transaction history database (58 of FIG. 2). Thus a commerce between the consumer and the selected supplier takes place.

7, when the supplier client 20 to 24 receives a request for quotation from the server 40 by e-mail or / and facsimile in step S200, the supplier client 20 to 24 responds to the request via the Internet network in step S202. Go to the website.

Then, in step S204, if a member of the website, go to step S206 to enter a member ID, if not a member, go to step S208 to register a member. Subsequently, in step S210, a request for quotation including consumer detailed information is confirmed in the member account, and a quote for the product selected in step S212 is sent.

In step S214, when a purchase order is received from the server 40 according to the consumer's request, the process proceeds to step S216 to supply goods to the consumer and receive payment.

6 and 7 are detailed steps of member registration shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. FIG. 8A illustrates the membership registration procedure of the consumer or supplier for the reliability of the commerce and the prevention of accidents, and FIG. 8B illustrates the membership registration procedure of the consumer or the supplier to prevent registration of an invalid account. This procedure is also processed by the control of the web server 42.

Referring to FIG. 8A, it is determined whether the connected consumer or provider is a member of the website. If not a member, the procedure goes to step S222 to request membership registration, and the consumer or supplier inputs his or her own information for membership. In step S224, it is determined whether the information input from the consumer or supplier and the information in the customer database (32 in FIG. 2) match. If the result of the determination matches, this procedure proceeds to step S226.

In step S226, the phone number of the consumer or supplier is approved as the member ID, and then in step S230, registration and storage in the consumer or supplier information database 52, 54 is provided, and a storage area for the member account is provided. In addition, if the result of the determination does not match, the specific ID by the consumer or supplier is approved. For example, a member ID using a telephone number may be defined in the form of 'country code-area code-consumer or user's telephone number'. That is, when the phone number of a specific provider is' (02) 1234-5678 ', the member ID is '82 -002-1234-5678'. As described above with reference to FIG. 2, this information is provided in connection with the database network of the Korean telecommunications operator system or when the application for membership is made using the consumer or supplier information collected from the website operator system itself. If a match is found, the phone number of the user or provider is approved as the member ID.

Therefore, the reliability and telephone number of the supplier are disclosed, thereby preventing the consumer from sending a false quotation request or the supplier's false quotation and preventing the operation of the operator in advance.

8B illustrates a case in which a procedure for preventing registration of an invalid account is added in step 224 of FIG. 8A. Detailed description of the same procedure as in FIG. 8A will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 8B, it is determined whether the information input from the consumer or the supplier in step S244 and the information in the customer database (32 in FIG. 2) match. If the result of the discrimination matches, the procedure goes to step S250 to approve the telephone number of the consumer or supplier as the member ID or to approve the member ID defined by the consumer or supplier.

If the result of the determination in step S244 does not match, a confirmation procedure for member approval of the consumer or supplier is performed. This is a well known method for determining that the information of consumers and suppliers is false. When the member registration confirmation process is performed in step S246, it is determined whether to approve in step S248, and the flow proceeds to step S250.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the registration of an invalid account using false information of the consumer or the supplier, and to secure the reliability of the commerce.

Subsequently, inquiries about information on goods and services according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a diagram of a method for requesting a quotation for purchasing a product and an automatic response method for a quotation and an order are shown in FIGS. 9 to 19.

This is output using the product information stored in the product information database (56 in FIG. 2), and these Figs. 9A to 9C are each hyper-linked with each specific item.

Referring to FIG. 9A, the construction section main page 300 is classified by materials and facilities. For example, when selecting 'telecommunication fire' 302, the main page of 'telecommunication fire' as shown in Figure 9b is output. In this case, when the 'CCTV' 304 is selected, the 'CCTV' main page of FIG. 9 is output. Therefore, the consumer or supplier can search and search for desired product information.

10A and 10B are diagrams showing the radar function and search results thereof shown in FIG. 9C.

Referring to the drawings, the radar function refers to a function (e.g., similar to the 'wizard' function to help the installation of Microsoft, etc.) to facilitate the consumer's selection of goods and services, as described in the figure (308) do.

11A to 11B are diagrams showing a list of suppliers according to the product introduction and search results shown in FIG. 9C in a web browser window of a consumer. When a specific product, that is, a 'color camera' 310 is selected in FIG. 11A, FIG. 11B As shown in FIG. 3, a "color camera" page is output to the consumer's web browser, and a list 312 for each manufacturer and specification of the "color camera" is output. Therefore, the user may select a desired product from the list 312 and request for quotation 314.

12A and 12B illustrate a list of selected products displayed in a web browser window of a consumer, a list of suppliers to be automatically quoted, and a request for confirmation of a request for quotation.

Referring to FIG. 12A, the list 316 to be quoted for a plurality of products and services selected by the consumer displays detailed information such as a product name, a manufacturer, a model name, a picture, a specification selected by the consumer, a quantity, a price, and the like. Therefore, the user sees the list to be quoted and finally confirms, and then, by pressing the request button 318, the supplier list 320 to be quoted shown in FIG. 12B is displayed. Therefore, if a supplier is selected at least one of the suppliers to be quoted in the supplier list 320 by selecting the request field 322, a quotation request is sent to the corresponding suppliers.
