Product Sales System

The system relates to the field of trade in various goods, both ont and retail. The system also provides for the sale (provision for a fee) of relevant services with a contract price between the seller and the buyer. The proposed system for selling goods can find application as an autonomous system used by a limited circle of customers, and a system with an unlimited circle of users in communication networks, telecommunication networks, and Internet networks.

State of the art

A device for selling piece goods is known, comprising a unit for setting a minimum sale price, a multi-nominal coin mechanism, a unit for storing goods, a driver of a maximum purchase price by a buyer (SU 436372, G07F 11/00, 1974).

A device for making payments and services using an electronic card with documenting operations, containing means for documenting on an electronic card the results of certain payments in automated cashless payment systems (RU 95 109319 A 1, G06F 17/60 // G06F 157: 00).

A known system of selling goods, comprising a storage unit for goods, a unit for setting a minimum sale price, a driver of a signal for a maximum purchase price associated with comparators connected to a distribution unit. (Ki, 2071119 C1, G07F11 / 00, 12.27.93)

Known systems have a limited range of users, as the systems do not provide access to communication networks, the known system also does not provide financial obligations for the transaction, in particular, an agreement on the price of goods, at a discount price.

The technical result of the claimed system is the expansion of the arsenal of funds provided by sales systems, including using virtual stores on the Internet, the creation of funds to provide confirmation of the contractual price for the purchase of goods in the sales system of goods, ensuring the purchase of goods by the buyer at an agreed price at any time for him.

G07F 11/00

The technical result is achieved in that in a system for selling goods containing at least one unit for storing goods for sale, one means for receiving data on goods and establishing a minimum selling price for goods, and at least one unit for setting a maximum purchase price, said block for storing goods and a means for receiving data on goods and establishing a minimum selling price for goods are connected by a communication network, a block for setting a maximum purchase price is connected to said means for receiving data about goods designed to coordinate the price of goods by the seller and the buyer, the system contains a unit for issuing data confirming the agreed price of the goods associated with the unit for setting the maximum purchase price.

The unit for the issuance of data confirming the agreed price of the goods is made with the possibility of issuing an electronic card or token, or receipt with an electronic signature.

The unit for the issuance of data confirming the agreed price of the goods is made with the possibility of providing discounts on the price of the goods by sending an electronic card or token, or receipt with an electronic signature; also the storage unit is a store in the form of a page on the Internet.

Figure 1 presents the functional system of the claimed system, comprising a unit 1 for storing goods. This block can be a warehouse of goods containing a seller’s console connected to the system nodes via telephone communication channels 2 of the network, a service provider, with the dispatcher of which communication can be made via communication channels, a virtual store in a telecommunication network 2, in particular, in a network Internet, or another network on the website of which information is provided on the goods sold or the paid services. T.O. blocks 1 of the storage of goods are terminals connected to the channels of the network 2. The system contains means 3 for receiving data on goods offered for sale, and establishing a minimum selling price of goods associated with the first inputs of block 4 of the comparators, the second inputs of which are connected to block 6 establishing the maximum purchase price for which the buyer can buy the goods offered for sale in the system. The tool 3 is also associated with the display unit 8, designed to indicate goods, their prices and possible discounts on goods and other data. Block 6 establishing the maximum purchase price is associated with block 7 of the issuance of data confirming the contractual purchase price of the goods. The claimed system for the sale of goods can be implemented as a system of interconnected functional units that perform certain functions in the system of sale of goods and coordination of the purchase price. System may be

implemented, as mentioned above, using the means of communication network 2, for example, banking networks, the Internet, etc.

A communication network is understood to mean a system consisting of objects that perform the functions of generating, converting, storing and consuming a product, called network points (nodes), and a transmission line (links, communications, connections, communication channels) that transfer products between points (see Norenkov I.P. et al. Telecommunication Technologies and Networks, Moscow, Publishing House of MGTU named after N.E.Bauman, 1998, p.6).

In the claimed system, as mentioned above, the unit for storing goods at the physical level can be an automated warehouse of goods, a means for providing paid services, a virtual store on whose page (site) information about goods offered for sale, etc. is presented.

Those. the goods storage unit is essentially a point (one of the network terminals) connected to the network channels 2. The means 3 for receiving data from the terminals about the goods sold and their prices is a part of another network point 9, designed to coordinate the sale price of the goods with the proposed discount and the maximum purchase price that the user can pay for the proposed product. This item is also connected to network 2.

Block 6 for setting the maximum price of goods by the buyer can be included in the same item 9 as tool 3, and can be removed from item 9. Item 9 can be installed, for example, at a train station, airport, bank, store, etc. item, i.e. in any place accessible to a wide range of buyers and is intended for the transaction between the seller and the buyer. Paragraph 9 with means 3 for receiving data from terminals 1 and comparator unit 4 may also be a remote terminal with which the user can also communicate via network channels 2. In this case, the user (customer) terminal 10 is connected to comparator unit 4 via corresponding channels 2 network. Terminal 10 includes a maximum purchase price setting unit 6 connected to a comparator unit of terminal 9, the outputs of which are connected to a product data receiving means, the output of which is connected to the corresponding input of the maximum purchase price setting unit 6, connected to a price confirmation data block 7 purchase of goods. This block can be implemented as a block for issuing a receipt for a product and its contract price, i.e. a printing device confirming the fact of the transaction, or by electronic signature. This block can contain special tokens, i.e. as a vending machine, this block may represent means for writing and reading information onto an electronic card, or memory means, etc.

The system operates as follows.

Information about the price of the goods and the percentage of possible discounts through the communication channels of the network 2 are received in the means 3 for receiving data about the goods. The indicated information is indicated by the display unit 8 or transmitted directly to the user terminal 10, which may be a personal computer configured to connect to a network 2 or to a medium 3 or other means of communication. Having analyzed the suggested prices for certain goods, the user enters into the system, through the block for setting the maximum purchase price for a product, the value of the maximum price for a product that he considers possible to pay. In block 4, the comparators compare the possible minimum price that suits the seller of the goods determined by means of 3 and the maximum purchase price that the buyer intends to pay, and if the value of the purchase price is greater than or equal to the sale price of the goods, then the comparator generates a signal that goes to means 3 The tool 3 notifies through the network 2 the seller of the transaction and sale of goods, the buyer of the transaction and the possibility of documentary confirmation of the purchase price. A signal about this arrives in block 6 to inform the buyer about the transaction and includes a block 7 designed to provide data confirming the contractual price of the purchase of goods. The specified block can be made in the form of a printing device confirming the fact of the transaction, for example, by electronic means, including electronic signature. This block can be made in the form of an automaton with special tokens confirming the fact of sale for a certain price. This block may be a means for recording and reading information on an electronic card or other storage medium.

T.O. this block 7 is intended to confirm the fact of the transaction on a product, its price, the duration of this contract, etc.

The proposed embodiment of the device does not limit possible implementation examples. The claimed system can be implemented, for example, as a telecommunication network with many terminals representing stores (goods storage units) in the form of personal computers, transaction terminals intended to compare the proposed sales and purchase prices, in the form of a processor tool, and customer terminals, in the form of personal computers connected to a network or included in an existing network or connected by other communication channels.
