Description

Server and method for comparing price of mobile terminal {SERVER AND METHOD FOR PRICE COMPARISON OF MOBILE TERMINAL}

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a price comparison server and method of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a price comparison server and method of a mobile terminal reflecting a user's call volume.

With the spread of the Internet, it has become common to purchase products that have been purchased offline through an Internet shopping mall. However, numerous internet shopping malls have been created, and different shopping prices are offered for each shopping mall. As a customer, the time for wasting time was compared in various shopping malls for product purchase.

In order to solve this problem, a price comparison site that collects and displays prices offered by major Internet shopping malls for the same product in one place, and automatically selects a seller with the desired price, and automatically moves to the shopping mall of the seller. Was born.

In the case of a price comparison site for a mobile terminal using a carrier's plan, the carrier's rate policy changes from time to time, and the amount supported by the carrier's plan varies according to the carrier's plan. What is this, there is a problem that can not easily know how much the total amount of money required.

1 is an example of a result of searching for a mobile terminal in a price comparison site.

Referring to FIG. 1, when searching for a specific mobile terminal, a conventional price comparison site displays only the lowest price of a mobile terminal presented by a retailer when using a high-priced plan, and actually displays the actual price to a mobile carrier every month according to the user's call volume. The cost to be paid was unknown.

In this case, the user had to go to the seller's shopping mall in order to check the monthly payment to the carrier.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of charge information of a mobile terminal provided in a shopping mall of a seller.

FIG. 2 (a) shows mobile terminal fee information of a store A, and FIG. 2 (b) shows mobile terminal charge information of a store B.

If the user assumes that the user wants to use 700MB of data for 200 minutes per month, the communication fee reflecting this is not known by the information provided in FIG. 2, and the user selects a suitable plan and calculates the charges according to the user's call volume. I had to calculate it myself.

Even if the user assumes that they want to use the i-light plan for a two-year commitment, the monthly payment that the user actually pays each month when purchasing a mobile terminal at Store A is the average of the actual first-year monthly payments and the actual second-year monthly payments. Phosphorus (61,000 + 59,400) / 2 = 60,200 won. The monthly burden on the purchase of a mobile terminal at the retailer B is 55,100 won, which is an average monthly payment of 10,100 won and 45,000 won for the i-light plan.

In this way, the user must move to each store's site in order to find out the monthly burden according to the amount of calls he / she wants. In addition, since each store has a different method of calculating the monthly burden, there was a problem in that it takes much time to calculate the monthly burden.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, in the present invention, a mobile terminal price comparison server and method for outputting the communication cost that the user actually pays to the telecommunication company by using the user's call volume information and sales information provided by the store I would like to propose.

The interface screen of FIG. 6 is an area A (601) for allowing a user to directly input call volume information, an area B (603) for allowing a user to select a plan discount product such as a new terminal discount association, a free change of a plan, a youth, or a silver. And, area C (605) to allow the user to directly select the desired plan from the plan provided by the carrier.

Zone C 605 provides all the plans offered by each telecommunications company so that the user can select the plan directly, and provides an interface that allows the user to search for the plan. When the user directly selects a plan, the price comparison output unit 309 calculates and outputs only the monthly burden for the plan selected by the user among the plans provided by the stores.

In the above description, the call volume information is directly input by the user, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the call volume information of the user may be collected by interworking with a communication company currently used by the user.

 That is, the price comparison server 300 may further include a call amount information collecting unit (not shown) for automatically collecting the call amount information of the user from the communication company. Here, the call amount information may include an average value of the voice call amount, the text transmission amount, and the data usage (for example, an average value of the last three months).

The call volume information collecting unit may automatically collect the call volume information from the telecommunication company DB when the user obtains the user's consent or undergoes an authentication process such as logging in to a telecommunication company site currently used by the user.

 As such, when the call volume information is automatically collected in connection with the communication company, the call volume information input process of the user may be omitted.

Referring back to FIG. 5, the third interface 503 allows a user to input whether the user's subscription type is number portability, new subscription or device change. Alternatively, it is possible to input whether the mobile terminal to be purchased is an air system or a used phone.

May be a retailer within a range.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an output result of a price comparison output unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Looking at the first output list, the price comparison output unit 309 is a charge (45,000) according to the rate plan provided by the store, the terminal fee of the mobile terminal provided by the store divided by the contract period (33,100), provided by the carrier The monthly burden 52,900 calculated by summing the rate discount amount information 25-25 is output.

Here, the rate discount information includes discount amount information provided by a communication company according to a selected rate plan or a selected contract period.

The rate of the plan or the discount rate information provided by the carrier is determined by the carrier and may be changed from time to time. The terminal fee of the mobile terminal provided by the retailer may be provided differently according to the sellers. Therefore, the monthly burden of each seller is different.

In addition, the price comparison output unit 309 is the actual monthly sum of the additional communication fee (7,280) to be paid to the carrier in addition to the charge of the selected plan when the call according to the call volume information input by the user and the monthly payment amount (52,900) The burden amount 60, 180 may be output.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the price comparison output unit may output only the actual monthly burden sum of the additional communication fee and the monthly burden instead of the monthly burden.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the price comparison output unit 309 may output only the monthly burden or the actual monthly burden.

The initial cost refers to the cost of opening a mobile terminal such as a subscription fee of a telecommunication company and a purchase cost of a USIM chip. Since there are sellers who support some or all of the initial costs to the user, the initial costs may be output differently for each seller.

Therefore, the price comparison output unit 309 may provide information for the user to compare the price for each seller by outputting the usage period communication cost by multiplying the actual monthly burden by the contract period and then summing the initial cost. In addition, the period of use can be displayed additional monthly charges.

For example, in the case of the first output list, the usage period communication cost becomes actual monthly burden (58,180) * contract period (24) + initial cost (50,000) = 1,446,320. At this time, the monthly burden is 24 months, so the actual monthly burden is 61,096.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the price comparison output unit 309 may output the actual monthly burden divided by the contract period into the contract period, in the lowest order.

On the other hand, in the case of the third output list, the contract period is 12 months, so when the user outputs the communication period, the user will use the communication period for the period of 2 years as shown in the first and second lists. You can also output

That is, in the case of the third output list, since the 12-month commitment, the user pays the terminal fee for 12 months and then pays the communication fee excluding the terminal fee to the telecommunication company. Therefore, the price comparison output unit 309 pays the communication fee (94,680 * 12 + 10,000 = 1,146,160) and the terminal fee for the first 12 months and the communication fee ((45,000-22,800 + 5280) * 12 = 3,29,760) for 12 months after paying both. The combined amount of 1,475,920 can be output for the period of use.

The price comparison output unit 309 outputs the free gift information provided by the seller, and provides a link to the free gift information so that the user can check the free gift details. Gifts may include a variety of items provided in the store, such as mobile phone memory, mobile phone case, liquid crystal film, earphones.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the free gift information may be points or cashback that can be used in the price comparison server 300. The reason sellers offer free gifts is to attract users. However, from the user's point of view, there may be difficulty in price comparison because the seller cannot check the price information of the various gifts offered by the sellers.

Therefore, the present invention enables the retailers to provide points instead of the free gifts, and the user can directly purchase free gifts and the like using points at an affiliated site linked to the price comparison server 300. Alternatively, retailers may pay cash back, or cash, to customers who purchase a mobile terminal at their retailer instead of a free gift.

When the points or cashback is provided instead of the free gift, the price comparison output unit 309 may multiply the monthly payment by the contract period, add the initial cost, and calculate the use period communication cost by subtracting the points or the cashback. For example, in the case of the first output list, if the retailer provides 30,000 points, the period of use can be (1,446,320-30,000 = 1,416,320).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, information that can be differentiated and provided to a user for each store is terminal fee, initial cost, and free gift information, and a discount rate based on a plan or a contract period is an amount determined by a telecommunication company. Therefore, the retailers provide the free gift information as points, and when considering the points in the calculation of the communication period during the use period, it is possible to identify at a glance which stores sell the mobile terminal at a lower price.

In addition, the price comparison output unit 309 displays OFFLINE for the stores having offline stores to indicate that the offline stores are in parallel, and provides a link for displaying a map of the offline stores.

The price comparison output unit 309 may provide an interface for inputting an address. When the user inputs an address, the price comparison output unit 309 may list a list of stores within an input address range among the output list. You can reprint only.

8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a management interface of retail stores according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, stores may provide mobile terminals provided by retailers through a management interface, pet names of mobile terminals, contract products, subscription types, plan information provided by stores, sales prices of mobile terminals, contract term conditions, initial costs ( Information such as subscription fee, bond fee, USIM amount), free gift information (free gift, quantity, free gift offer period), offline store presence, etc. can be directly input or modified in the storage unit 303.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the price comparison server 300 does not provide monthly payments using the sales information of the stores, but directly sends the sales information about the mobile terminal to the storage unit 303 of the price comparison server 300. It may be stored, and the monthly burden for each rate plan may be provided by using the sales information for the mobile terminal, the service plan information of the telecommunication company, and the call volume information of the user.

Here, the sales information means the terminal fee of the mobile terminal provided by the price comparison server 300, the initial cost at the time of opening the mobile terminal, and the free gift information provided by the price comparison server 300.

That is, the price comparison site does not provide sales information about the mobile terminals of the stores, but provides the sales information about the mobile terminals in the price comparison site itself, and receives the user's call volume information and uses the monthly burden of each carrier's plan. Can be provided to
