Description

Method, system and server for provisioning shopping service by using information relating to product}

The present invention relates to a method, a system and a server for providing a shopping service using information related to a product. More specifically, in a process of providing shopping-related information to a user using a wired / wireless communication network, when a user inputs a search word for a specific brand or product name to a server that provides shopping services, the shopping content corresponding to the search word on the server is provided. Extracts the product information (product wearing image, product user, product purchaser, Q & A information about the product and news information about the product) including the search word as a keyword by interworking with the portal server, and shopping the extracted product information. A method, system, and server for providing a shopping service using information related to a product that can be provided to a user in combination with content.

Recently, as computers, electronics, and communication technologies have advanced dramatically, various wireless communication services using wireless networks have been provided. Accordingly, a service provided by a mobile communication system using a wireless communication network is developing into a multimedia communication service for transmitting data such as circuit data, packet data, and the like, as well as a voice service.

In addition, due to the development of Internet technology, electronic commerce called 'Internet shopping mall' is being activated. At present, such electronic commerce service has a significant portion as an axis of product distribution by securing reliability for charging and delivery along with convenience. Was done.

Conventionally, an internet shopping mall determines a purchase after a buyer searches for product information and price information by accessing a specific e-commerce site (hereinafter referred to as an 'Internet shopping mall') in order to purchase a product using electronic commerce. to be.

Such Internet shopping malls occupy an important place as a part of life for modern people, and the number of consumers who use the Internet to search for shopping information and help with shopping to make purchase decisions is exploding.

In addition, the amount of information of the information providers providing information is also increasing exponentially. In the flood of information, users spend a lot of time searching for shopping information that is necessary for them, and also have difficulty in obtaining information effectively.

The development of an efficient shopping information retrieval method has been requested to overcome the above-mentioned difficulties, and as a result, shopping agents such as price comparison sites of portal sites have emerged, and most users search through portal sites. The shopping information is obtained and helped in purchasing decision making.

However, in the conventional internet search system, in order for a consumer to acquire information about shopping, the user has to enter a keyword and have a search result that comes out flat, and have to learn the necessary information one by one, and the user purchases If the intended product is a product such as clothing, shoes or a hat, the user has a disadvantage in that the product must be judged only by the image provided in the shopping mall.

For example, since a shopping mall provides only an image worn by a model, the user may not know exactly what style is used when the actual product is worn on his or her body size.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention, in the process of providing information related to shopping to the user using a wired or wireless communication network, when the user inputs a search word for a specific brand or product name to a server that provides shopping services, Extracts shopping contents corresponding to the search terms, and extracts product information (product wearing image, product user, product purchaser, Q & A information about the product and news information about the product) including the search word as a keyword in conjunction with the portal server; The main purpose is to provide a method, system, and server for providing a shopping service using information related to a product that can be provided to a user by combining extracted product information with shopping contents.

The present invention to achieve the above object, the server and the communication unit for interworking with the portal server; When a search word for a specific brand or product name is input from the user terminal by controlling the server communication unit, the shopping content corresponding to the search word is extracted, and the product information including the search word as a keyword is extracted from the portal server, and extracted. A server controller configured to control the product information to be transmitted to the user terminal in combination with the shopping contents; And a server storage unit which stores one or more pieces of information of the shopping contents, the search word, and the product information.

According to another object of the present invention, a search word receiving step of receiving a search word for a specific brand or product name from the user terminal; A shopping content extraction step of extracting shopping content corresponding to the search word; A product information extraction step of extracting product information including the search word as a keyword from the portal server; And a combined shopping content transmission step of transmitting the extracted product information to the user terminal in combination with the shopping content.

In addition, according to another object of the present invention, the portal server for providing an Internet portal service; When a search word for a specific brand or product name is input from a user terminal, shopping content corresponding to the search word is extracted, product information including the search word as a keyword is extracted from the portal server, and the extracted product information is shopping. A shopping service providing server for transmitting to the user terminal in combination with contents; And a wired or wireless communication network for relaying data between the portal server and the shopping service providing server.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user inputs a search word for a specific brand or product name to a server that provides shopping services in a process of providing information related to shopping to a user using a wired / wireless communication network, the server searches a search word on a server. Extracts the shopping content corresponding to the product, extracts the product information (product wearing image, product user, product purchaser, Q & A information about the product, and news information about the product) including the search word as a keyword by interworking with the portal server. The combined product information can be provided to the user in combination with the shopping content.

In addition, according to the present invention, when the product that the user wants to search for is fashion-related information corresponding to one of clothes, shoes, and hats, the user may be provided with the actual product wearing image of the buyers for the corresponding product. If you wear the actual product in size, it is effective to know exactly what style it will be.

In addition, according to the present invention, if the product to be searched by the user is a digital device corresponding to any one of a computer, a digital camera and MP3, there is an effect that can be provided with a product purchaser and a product user for the digital device.

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail through exemplary drawings. In adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components as much as possible even though they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.
