In addition, in the electronic commerce system of the present invention, when the estimated amount of purchase is less than 30 million won from the Korea Electric Power Corporation, which is a national power business company, candidate companies are selected and stored in a database for a number of contracted items. 8 is shown. This veterinary contract database includes company ID (801), product classification (large classification) (802), product classification (middle classification) (803), item (804), product information retrieval (specification) (805), product information retrieval (stock) (806), business search (807), business selection (808), business information (telephone) (809), business information (FAX) (810), business information (e-mail) (811), contact person (812), Information such as a purchase amount 813, a desired transaction amount 814, a desired delivery date 815, and the like are stored.

In the electronic commerce site of the electric power field of the present invention, the BToC transaction and the CToC transaction are made in a similar manner to that of the e-commerce site that sells general standard products. That is, a desired purchase member accesses an electronic commerce system according to the present invention, searches an electronic catalog, and then displays a purchase intention for a desired product to purchase a product, or applies for an auction to purchase the product.

However, the BToB transaction is different from the above BToC or CToC transaction, and therefore, the present invention will be described based on the BToB transaction. In general, in a business-to-business transaction, the purchaser's specifications and the manufacturer's quotations, which present the necessary items and requirements of the product, are required before the transaction takes place. The e-commerce system provides the online transmission service of this specification and quotation, so that even complex and large-scale transactions can be made.

11 is a system business process diagram illustrating a BToB e-commerce method in the field of electric power according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to use the electronic commerce system according to the present invention, a member must first be registered as a member, and a company intending to register as a member must deliver various related documents to the electronic commerce system. Relevant companies in the field of electric and power can join at any time and submit relevant documents in writing or online within the designated time. In addition, if necessary, identification information (ID) and password can be changed, and if a change request is made using a computer different from the computer used for registration, the verification process is performed once more, and the information is changed. When requesting a change, the change information is updated to the relay server, and after the administrator confirms the validity and suitability of the data, it is updated to the member DB of the database server.

Companies wishing to purchase a product will prepare a purchase plan for the product they need. The prospective purchaser who wants to start a new construction or purchase new equipment on an existing facility decides the purchase plan, prepares a purchase proforma of the product and informs the e-commerce system. The e-commerce system reviews the notification and searches for and confirms the company that has the stock among the deliverables of the corresponding product (S1101). If a company with inventory is found, the material will be provided remotely to the prospective purchaser. If not, the manufacturer will be notified to open an electronic competitive bid.

That is, when a product to be purchased is searched for (S1102), the corresponding purchase company prepares a specification of the product to be purchased and transmits it to the electronic commerce system (S1103). This specification is XML type EDI document using database and web document. The purchaser proposes the necessary items and requirements of the product through this specification, and the manufacturer views the specification and establishes a manufacturing and delivery plan based on the specification. As shown in FIG. 9, the specification database storing the contents of the specification includes a company ID 901, a product ID 902, a product name 903, a material identification number 904, a unit 905, and a quantity 906. , Unit price (907), specification (908), blueprint (909), production date (910), supplier (911), warranty period (912), test report (913), description of contents (914), attachment (915) Information such as, author 916, telephone 917, FAX 918, e-mail 919, and the like.

The electronic specification prepared by the prospective purchaser is uploaded to the system, the data is systematically stored in the specification database, and published on the manufacturer's screen upon request for disclosure from the manufacturer.

When the prospective company transmits the electronic specification to the e-commerce system, the search engine is started to inform the manager of the list of relevant manufacturers and send a message to each relevant manufacturer to submit a quotation. Manufacturers who are notified of the submission of the quotation are retrieved and searched for the specification number and upload the quotation in the reply form documenting the manufacturing and other requirements based on the specification (S1103). In other words, the quotation suggests the exact manufacturing plan of the product in accordance with the specifications, characteristics and uses of the various products described in the specification, and specifies the delivery price. The quotation prepared by the delivery company is stored in the specification-related file e-quote database. FIG. 10 shows an example of the quotation database. That is, the electronic estimate database includes a product name (1001), a product ID (1002), a company name (1003), a company ID (1004), a request for quotation (1005), a request for quotation (1006), a first estimate price (1007), and 2 Second Quotation Price (1008), Third Quotation Price (1009), Unit (1010), Quantity (1011), Specification (1012), Unit Price (1013), Blueprint (1014), Test Report (1015), Warranty Period (1016) ), Contents description 1017, expected delivery date 1018, attached document 1019, person in charge 1020, telephone 1021, FAX 1022, e-mail (1023) and the like.

In this case, if there are two or more companies that wish to deliver, the prospective purchaser can view the quotation of the prospective delivery company who submitted the quotation and select a suitable company, or the real-time lowest-priced Opened Electronic Competition Bidding (OECB) Select a supplier. This real-time low-cost open electronic bidding method is described in detail in Korean Patent Application No. 2000-22570, "Open electronic competitive bidding method using an electronic communication network" filed on April 27, 2000 by the present applicant.

Once the delivery manufacturer is confirmed, the company exchanges opinions on the manufacturing and delivery-related matters and negotiates to determine the delivery materials (S1104). That is, whether there is a stock of the product to be delivered, how long is the manufacturing period if there is no stock, the warranty period after the delivery, the consumable parts supply plan of the product parts, spare parts inventory and supply plan of the main parts, etc. Establish. In addition, it discusses the exact date of delivery as well as the shipping method and obtains mutual approval. This commenting process takes place online, so the clarity and speed of the message must be ensured.

After various consultations, the manufacturer manufactures a product and performs an inspection in the payment system 1106 to evaluate the quality of the manufactured product (S1105). After the inspection, the manufacturer 1108 transports the product at a predetermined time (S1107), the purchaser 1110 confirms the delivery of the product (S1109), and the settlement date is agreed (S1111).

On the other hand, if the product is searched in step S1101 (S1112), it is possible to immediately proceed to step S1104 without sending out the specifications and quotations to determine the delivery material.

In addition, if there is no product found in step S1101, a product is produced and a purchase request is made (S1113). The purchaser wishes to prepare a material purchase specification, upload it to the system, and the manufacturer prepares and sends a quotation for the specification (S1114). If the quotation is sent from two or more manufacturers, the supplier can be selected through the open electronic competitive bidding method.If it is necessary to select the supplier by the open electronic competitive bidding method in step S1103 or step S1114, The open electronic competitive bidding is registered and accepted (S1115). When the open electronic competitive bidding system is activated (S1116) and a successful bidder is determined (S1117), the promising purchaser proceeds to step S1104 to contact the successful bidder and confirm the delivery material.

Inventory management is essential in order to implement electronic commerce between companies, and the electronic commerce system of the present invention updates the inventory using a relay server. Some companies that have built a database can directly access the electronic commerce system of the present invention to update the database to manage inventory. However, some companies that do not have a small database can be updated with the relay server of the e-commerce site of the present invention, and the administrator regularly updates the database after verifying the data. The former has the advantage that it can be updated in real time, but if there is a problem in the supplier's database, there is a problem that it is updated with inaccurate information. There is a problem.

The electronic commerce system of the present invention is equipped with a firewall (Firewall), to control the access through the abnormal path from the outside, and to block the external leakage of internal information. It also sets up an environment for real-time log analysis, and regularly backs up and analyzes the log files. Log file analysis collects information on connection statistics and transaction details, reflects them in future operations, and prepares security measures.

While the invention has been described above based on the preferred embodiments thereof, these embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than limit the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, or adjustments to the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be construed to include all of the above-described changes, modifications, or adjustments, as well as in accordance with the appended claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, each purchaser is provided with information related to all related products (manufacturer, purchase price) online, and the manpower and time wasted in the past because the purchase process and payment can be performed online. The cost can be greatly reduced.

In addition, since all operations are resolved through the computer system, errors that could be caused by manual operations can be prevented, and data management can be improved by uniformly managing a large number of complex data and regularly outputting and storing report data.
