Description

The method and system of sealed auction of submitting a tender
Cross reference to related applications
This application is the U.S. Provisional Application for the Serial No. 62/246,987 submitted based on October 27th, 2015.The Shen Full content please is included in the present invention by reference.
Technical field
Presently disclosed content is related to auctioning, more specifically to the method for the sealed bid in online auction And system.This method enables the seller to transfer the possession of the ownership of auction subject matter, and shares the right of possession corporeal right of auction subject matter, Middle auction subject matter can be tangible or invisible, it may include any valuable article, for example, commodity, technical ability, service, Space, Place or financial resources etc..This method can be applied on various electronic equipments, including but not limited to:Computer, movement are set Standby and tablet computer etc..In addition, the method disclosed here can also be used for live auction.
Background technology
Traditional auction is to negotiate to the price of scarce resource, and gone out with all receptible best price of both parties Sell a kind of mode of these resources.The purpose of auction is to make seller's revenus maximization, buyer's cost minimization.Traditional auction exists Ancient Greek's period with regard to existing, was mentioned for the first time at about B.C. 500 years.The auction in the U.S. can trace back to the 17th century, Colonial period, it is popular after pilgrim arrives at east coast of the United States, this is because auction is produced in money crop, import It is profitability possessed by product, livestock, tool, tobacco or even entire farm etc..It is one that mode by inch of candle, which sells out one's property, The mode that kind quickly and effectively cashes existing property.From then on, auction experienced the different periods, and constantly develop. In twentieth century later stage, especially nineteen nineties, science and technology starts to apply in auction business.Later auction business into One step develops, to adapt to the application of the science and technology continued to develop.Auctioner begins to use the technologies such as computer, facsimile machine, mobile phone, makes it Business carries out more quick and rich in efficiency.
The continuous development of science and technology is so that the auctioner of today is capable of providing live auction and online auction, to meet far and near visitor The unique need at family.Current technology makes the bidder that those bid to auction subject matter live just without coming to auction personally It can take part in auction.Online auction is popular, this is because internet is provided to user-friendly, convenient platform, with Just each side concerned is exchanged with each other the property of value.Online auction can be carried out by mobile applications and website, as long as there is interconnection Net, anyone can be carried out operating.
It is put into practice based on the prior art and auction, auction can be divided into open auction and sealed two kinds of auction.Open bat It is a kind of auction technique that auction subject matter is publicized to all participants to sell.Open auction can be advance price auction (Britain) mould Formula or Dutch auction (Holland) pattern.Under advance price auction model, the quotation to valuables is by lift-type.In the regular hour Last bidder for inside quoting ceiling price wins auction.It is rigid to the quotation of valuable auction object under Dutch auction pattern Start relatively high, auctioner continuously decreases price until buyer receives some price.The main advantage of open auction One of be exactly that bidder can mutually see mutual quotation, allow in this way auction transparence.However, in open auction It discloses the transparency that tender price is brought and also will produce many negative effects.
Although online auction is not only popular but also successfully, it is also not without insufficient and defect.For example, under open auction, Fairness is a big problem.The shortcoming of open auction includes but not limited to:" the screen of submitting a tender of immoral buyer's operation Cover ", " submit a tender masking ", " support is submitted a tender ", " bid is sniped " and " collusive tendering " etc..It is because tender price is to lead to the problem of these It is open, and immoral buyer abuses auction procedure by participating in unlawful activities above-mentioned, bid rigging valence easily Lattice.
When higher tender price the last moment of auction be revoked so that it is lower bid received when, " submit a tender screen Cover " just have occurred." support is submitted a tender " introduces a kind of strategy of virtual height quotation, it is therefore an objective to which raising is bidded, and real bidder is forced Think that the subject matter of purchase pays higher price for them.And when bidder deliberately outputs the bat thought below or above them When selling the quotation of price value, " masking of submitting a tender " just has occurred.The purpose of masking is to mislead other bidders to make it that can not understand bat Sell the real price of object.
" bid is sniped " refers to submitting a tender at the last moment, it is intended that prevents the response of other bidders and forces up commodity prices.By existing Software is easy to reach this purpose.This, which is primarily adapted for use in those, the website of fixed shut-in time of submitting a tender." collusive tendering " no It can only occur between bidder, for example bidder illegally colludes with, not mutual competitive tender be determined, to make price maintenance in relatively low water It is flat." collusive tendering " can also occur between the seller, for example, the mutual competitive tender other side of the seller auction subject matter, raise to fraud formula Price needs the expense paid to increase highest bidder." collusive tendering " can lead to " shielding of submitting a tender ", " support is submitted a tender " and/or " submit a tender Masking " etc., these phenomenons happen occasionally in open auction.
Based on all these defects of open online advance price auction, real bidder auctions to win, Hen Duoshi Time needs to pay close attention to auction process, with ensure their quotation not by virtual height quotation be more than, especially auction it is last when It carves.In the last moment of auction, if due to " bid is sniped " of other bidders so that really submitting a tender, everybody can not get the bid If, entire auction procedure just become not only to have taken but also can cause prodigious psychological pressure to bidder.Due to " bid is sniped ", throw Mark people has often put into plenty of time and effort, but can not win auction, this usually makes them generate sense of defeat.
It is online be difficult find immoral bidder because it is single be not easy to distinguish from surface immoral bidder and Difference between real bidder.For example, all Network Auction Systems " are thrown all there are one the fixed bid shut-in time Mark is sniped " it is all likely to occur in any open bidding system, bidder can be legally in the auction time limit of seller's setting Interior carry out auction.If " bid is sniped " occurs in the last moment of auction, as a consequence it is hardly possible to determine that who is real bidder, Who is immoral bidder.Many open Auction Sites claim to take measures to find and delete immoral bid People.Although there is measure to prevent the fraud of online auction appearance or unjust phenomenon, existing system and method simultaneously ineffective.Than Such as, the speed of the suspicious proposal activity of user's report is too slow, and the variable factor being related to is too many, can not be provided with to real bidder The result of profit.In addition, for bidder, the investigation that user's report measure is related to is time-consuming longer, has exceeded bearing for bidder Range.Because before being solved the problem of investigated, auction may just have finished on.In addition, whether determining user abuses and is System needs to consider too many factor.Also, the evidence that really bidder may be not enough proves that some user is practising fraud.I.e. Make to have law to be fined even punishment to the bid of illegalities or fraudulent, the anonymity of internet leads to a large amount of fraudulent activities Still it happens occasionally.Due to it is open auction there are many defects, mainly due to tender price be disclose it is visible.Overcome this One of the method for a little defects is exactly that sealed bid is taken to auction.Under this auction technique, tender price will not be thrown in sealing It is disclosed during mark auction.It means that in sealed bid auction, bidder quotes their throwing in the first stage of auction Mark the price lattice, but tender price to other bidders remain turned-off with not visible state, until in second stage tender price quilt Until open.
Based on the tender price of auction subject matter, sealed bid auction can be divided into two kinds, and the first price sealed, which is submitted a tender, to be auctioned It submits a tender and auctions with the second price sealed.The sealed bid auction of traditional form is the bid auction of the first price sealed, that is, is gone out Valence soprano wins auction.In the first price sealed submits a tender auction, bidder may face some problems.Wherein, " winner Curse " it is one of FAQs, it is present not only in open bid sealed-bid first price auction, and may also appear in sealed It submits a tender in auctioning.In auction, when tender price is more than the inherent value of auction subject matter, it can usually occur that " winner curses It curses ".This for those to auction subject matter the limited bidder of understanding and/or highest bidder for it is especially true.Because they It may from want of experience and the improper and overbid of market value estimation to auctioning subject matter.It such as " is won to overcome Defect as person's curse ", can be used the sealed bid auction of second of form, i.e. the second price sealed submits a tender auction (also referred to as It ties up crith (Vickrey) to auction).Wherein highest bidder needs the not instead of highest bid lattice paid, is opened for auction subject matter The second high price gone out.It means that the bidder for outputing ceiling price for auction subject matter will win auction, but only need to prop up Pay the second high price outputed for auction subject matter.This wants lower naturally compared with middle target ceiling price, and the price can The true value of auction subject matter can be reflected.Such auction has some attracting features, for example, " winner curses for less generation Curse " because bidder does not have to concern meeting overbid when bidding.
The deficiency that auction has its intrinsic however, the second price sealed is submitted a tender, i.e. bidder may artificially raise quotation True value without considering auction subject matter.Since highest bidder need to only pay the second high tender price, immoral bidder Through winning auction frequently with this strategy.This may make real bidder discouraged.Because real bidder can be according to him The true value bid of auction subject matter thought, but the real bidder for outputing reasonable tender price is difficult to defeat those The artificial immoral bidder for raising tender price.Another problem of this auction technique is to cause the second high throwing of bid Mark people's regrets.The second high bidder that bids can not win auction, but its tender price will be considered as auctioning the true of subject matter Positive value, nonetheless, he will not obtain any type of remuneration.
The logic flaw that auction has its intrinsic in addition, the second price sealed is submitted a tender, because highest bidder's actual delivery is not It is the tender price that it is outputed.On the contrary, what highest bidder finally paid is tender price that other people submit, it is exactly specifically the Two high tender prices.And the second high bidder that bids finally whatever cannot get, but his/her quotation will be used as highest bidder's branch The reference price paid.This method is inequitable to submitting the real bidder of reasonable price, because of other immoral throwings Mark people may submit the tender price of virtual height to win auction.In addition, submitting the bidder of the second high tender price may It will be considered that they are only to provide the tool of reasonable price, they will not obtain any return.For example, stamp is at present often in net The article with reserve value that upper auction platform occurs.Assuming that there are four bidders, wherein three bidders are really to collect Postal fan, they submit the tender price for really reflecting its market value, respectively $ 25, $ 30 and $ 35 for one piece of stamp.Such as The 4th bidder of fruit submits the tender price of $ 100 in auction, under existing auction technique, such as the second price sealed It submits a tender and auctions, the 4th bidder can not only win auction, and need to only pay the second high tender price, that is, $ 35.The valence Lattice are significantly less than the tender price of original $ 100.Under this existing auction technique, more useful way is that total energy is submitted to win The virtual height tender price of real bidder is crossed, but final need to pay the second high tender price.Since there are such causes Defect is ordered, it is not very universal that the second price sealed, which is submitted a tender and auctioned in auction is put into practice,.
Available system and method are difficult to make up existing defect under the prior art.Spirit of the invention is to provide one Auction platform, the auction platform provide the acceptance of the bid machine of more equality for bidder based on more fair bidding system and method Meeting.

Specific implementation mode
According to the prior art, traditional auction means to auction the transfer of subject matter ownership.Traditional auction is by quotient Product and its ownership are transferred to another party from a side together.The present invention includes but not limited to traditional auction.The implementation of the present invention Example can not only make the ownership of auction subject matter be transferred to another party from a side, and can also be in the feelings that do not pass ownership Under condition, the right of possession corporeal right for auctioning subject matter is transferred to another party from a side.The transfer of the auction subject matter right of possession corporeal right may include owning Power transfer, also may not include ownership transfer.
It is the control that people exercise valuables to a kind of right of possession corporeal right of article.The transfer of the right of possession corporeal right needs merchandise one Fang Youyi occupies the valuables, is worth with the money of exchange.Shared generation is not related to the transfer of ownership.It is shared can take it is a variety of Form, including and be only limitted to by over-product, space, service etc. redistribute, share and reuse come for it is personal, Business entity, nonprofit organization or government organs provide resource optimization.
Cooperative economy business (Collaborative Economy Business, CEB), also known as shared economic work, packet It includes but is not limited to share, lends, hire out.In general, cooperative economy business, which can be divided into, shares the commodity for auction, technical ability (i.e. professional skill or individual service technical ability), place (i.e. shared house or office space) and service, such as shared vehicles (i.e. shared to be serviced with vehicle) shares financial resources (i.e. capital loan), and shared other objects for being totally different from above-mentioned classification Product (if any).The present invention has the resource of monetary value to provide a shared platform for any of the above described type.Because Shared resource means a degree of personal interaction in some sense, and bidder needs to obtain the seller's before auction starts Approval in advance, can submit bid after approving.
About shared commodity, the seller can show that a kind of valuable commodity being in great demand are auctioned, and solicit intentionally The bidder for sharing the commodity participates in submitting a tender.It is not related to ownership transfer due to shared, will produce corresponding risk, this With regard to needing a program examined in advance to bidder.Highest bidder and the seller can disclose through the invention during auction Method and system just share needed for pay cost reach an agreement.Highest bidder can continually recycle this through the invention to be had Valence object.

As for shared financial resources, for example, the interesting seller for lending fund can show loan details, packet in auction Include the amount of the loan and time limit.The bidder of interesting loan needs to obtain the advance approval of the seller before bid.If bidder It can pay than other people higher interests, he can win loan.Highest bidder and the seller can be through the invention in auction The method and system of disclosure is reached an agreement with regard to loan interest etc..
The present invention further provides a system for online sealed bid auction, which can reduce has with online auction The risk of pass makes the interests of the seller-bidder optimize.Here bidder and the seller include but not limited to various types of use Family, such as individual, business entity, non-profit organization or government organs.The side of one or more databases is safeguarded in the system integration Method, wherein these databases include but not limited to seller information and do not disclose bidder's information of the true ID of bidder, tangible And/or invisible auction subject matter information and the database in relation to the Successful Transaction in the specific period.Database is potential throws Mark people and the seller provide before auctioned subject matter price reference, especially when bidder and the seller lack enough knowledge and When experience.
Participate in intentionally online auction user can login account in systems, it is the seller and throwing to be included in before auction starts Mark people's pre-set user agreement and dependency rule.Login account includes personally identifiable information and effective financial information, including But it is not limited to:Name, address, Email, telephone number and effective financial information.System will pass through Email or electricity Words verify user account.The embodiment of system will only allow user to pass through Email and/or phone number registration one A account and a user name.The account can be used for showing auction subject matter in auction or submit a tender to auction subject matter. Multiple accounts are created to fraudulent in order to prevent, and system may require that user provides true name, address and true finance letter Cease the registrable account in rear.System can require the information of user's offer finance aspect, such as debit card, credit card, Third-party payment Precious (PayPal) or Aleste (Square) payment system of system such as shellfish etc. and/or bank account information.Financial information is provided It is to confirm in bidder's account that it is that payment provides safeguard to have enough funds.This will avoid occurring after End of Auction promise breaking or Delay in payment situation, while also avoiding following situations, include but not limited to defer payment, bidder is based purely on enjoyment progress The case where bid, bidder, do not have the case where enough funds are paid and bidder not to pay the bill after End of Auction and cancel The case where transaction.System only allows bidder that them is submitted to confirm the tender price for payment of having the ability, to prevent End of Auction Bidder Cancels Transaction and situations such as financial insolvency afterwards.
This kind of exemplary embodiment allows the seller to show auction subject matter by online auction platform.The seller must pass through It is including but not limited to written to retouch in the subject matter of online auction to register them to submit the details introduction of related auction subject matter It states, photo, video etc..It must be disclosed if any any defect, to avoid misleading statement or fraud.The ID of the seller Or user name will be disclosed together with the auction subject matter of displaying, and in End of Auction, the feedback element after the completion of merchandising Also it can be disclosed.Subject matter is auctioned before online auction platform formally displaying, system can give the auction subject matter of every displaying Corresponding call number is distributed, and issuing time is stabbed, and the initial time of auction is recorded.The system auctions tracking, until the seller The preset auction time limit terminates.The seller must carry out dual confirmation, once i.e. End of Auction, and pay and complete, auction subject matter It can be delivered.For example, if auction subject matter is commodity, they will consign to highest bidder, be difficult to control unless the seller occurs The special circumstances of system, such as natural calamity, war.In addition to this seller must confirm the auction subject matter trigger price set by him/her Or reserve price is strictly that he/her is ready the price received.It can prevent the seller after End of Auction in this way, auction mark can not be found Object be that trigger price is arranged or mistake occurs when reserve price by or with it to Cancel Transaction for excuse.Unless certain special circumstances occur And force majeure, if the seller is confirmed in systems, but Cancel Transaction after closing the transaction or nondelivery auction mark Object, then the account of the seller will likely can be suspended a period of time, such as the first time occur will suspend one month, if second The account of secondary generation, the seller may permanently be deactivated.
In tendering process, the information that can see usually in auction, for example, the user name of bidder is related with other The information of bidder's identity will be not displayed.On the contrary, system will at random be generated according to the bid sequence of bidder, and for them Id number show bidder.Other than the seller, other bidders can not obtain the id number of the bidder, even The ID can not be also obtained after the bid ends.Once auction complete, only the seller it can be seen that highest bidder true ID.Bidder The tender price of other bidders will be can only see, and can't see the true ID of other bidders.The bid of each sealed bid Time is all attached, and there are one timestamps, to track bid situation in auction process.Anywhere user can see applicable Auction remaining time.The number to match with every bidder generated at random may make the identity of bidder that can not recognize, This eliminates the need for the possibility of open disclosure bidder's identity, and avoids certain bidders and carry out potential mood in auction Property the case where submitting a tender, this emotionality submits a tender the bidder being intended to for interacting therewith in the past.Emotionality bid can lead to valence Lattice distort, and can not reflect the true value of subject matter.In addition to this, the bidder ID randomly generated can prevent or reduce " support Force up commodity prices ", " collusive tendering " etc. because will be unable to identification bidder or the pervious proposal activity of bidder according to the random ID And interest.The seller can not see the identity and tender price of bidder, therefore also friend or relative etc. can not be allowed to pass through submission It is false to bid to raise subject matter price, in End of Auction front control tender price.
When displaying auction subject matter or submission are submitted a tender, the sealed bid process in auction is advocated honest and honest.The seller It needs to disclose the user name of oneself to potential bidder.Due to the use of the id number generated at random, bidder can not be recognized Identity, avoid immoral bidder and carry out emotionality bid or often carry out supporting and lifting valence.However, system will still permit Perhaps the seller shields specific id number, is allowed to participate in submitting a tender.Why the seller does so, and is due to the specific bidder It was manufactured in pervious transaction troublesome.When the seller wants to shield an id number, system submits a tender the id number with corresponding People matches, and the bidder is then shielded in auction, prevents it from participating in submitting a tender.
Other than the true id number of secrecy, before End of Auction, sealed bid will not be in auction and be thrown to other It marks people and shows tender price.Bidder can output one and react them to auction subject matter value expectation, and branch of having the ability The tender price paid.Bidder must provide dual confirmation, confirm tender price, and after submitting bid, confirm branch of having the ability Tender price and corresponding freight charges, the service charge etc. that it is submitted are paid, avoids bidder that amount of money mistake occurs when submitting a tender or strives By.The method of this dual confirmation is necessary, this gives immoral bidder (including any or all above-mentioned immoral throwing Mark people) manufacture certain risk.Because potential expense will be generated by being not intended to carry out the bid of actual delivery.System requirements is submitted a tender People in good faith, pays the tender price for needing to pay in the certain time after End of Auction.Usually supported and lifted The immoral bidder that valence is submitted a tender will be greatly reduced, because the embodiment of the present invention makes the triumph for having obtained bidder's confirmation throw Mark is difficult to be revoked.By relevant appropriate expense of collecting and submit a tender, to embody the risk of economic loss, immoral bidder It will hang back to bid.If immoral bidder is precisely highest bidder, his or her tender price is higher, then gets the bid Possibility it is higher, therefore, immoral bidder will pay higher cost.
If highest bidder fails to pay tender price in the given time, indefinite duration is suspended their account by system, is removed The non-seller and/or system manager allow its account to be not suspended.After End of Auction, transaction must be complete within the regular hour At for example, being completed in ten days after End of Auction.Unless certain special circumstances and force majeure occurs, if transaction is not one It fixes time interior completion, system will suspend the account of delinquent party for a period of time.When occurring for the first time, account suspends 30 days.If the No matter secondary generation breaks a contract due to not providing or non-payment services or commodity, delinquent party's account all may permanently be stopped With.Therefore, it does not complete to be prevented the case where transaction in time, because the seller and bidder have had been acknowledged what it took part in auction Ability.Once End of Auction, after highest bidder is determined, the every other tender price of tender price and submission will disclose together to All bidders.
The exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows bidder only to output an effective tender price, but bidder can be with Tender price is increased or decreased, and resubmits bid before End of Auction.In addition, bidder can cancel throwing before End of Auction Mark.The bid for having cancelled and/or having changed will still keep sealing state, other people can not just know that those have been cancelled or more in this way The bidder ID and/or tender price of the bid changed.The bid for having cancelled or having changed is kept into confidential state, so that it may to prevent from throwing The tender price that mark people has been cancelled or changed using these as reference, while can also eliminate misleading or fraud.The present invention permits Perhaps the seller estimates the real value of auction subject matter, so that capable of reflecting of outputing that they are thought auctions subject matter true value Tender price.Those can be encouraged to have the ability to pay its tender price in sealed bid in this way and the real of auction may be won Bidder because they need not worry cheated.
Therefore, exemplary embodiment of the invention can prevent " shielding of submitting a tender ", " masking of submitting a tender ", " bid macaque significantly Hit " and " collusive tendering " etc., because no one knows the identity of bidder, which bidder bids highest, in auction process Each tender price is how many, submits the bidder to submit a tender to be also not necessarily practical highest bidder in the last moment of auction.
Based on existing auction technique, the way that reserve price is common is set.Reserve price is the minimum of the acceptable secret of the seller Price.Under Reserve Auction mode, the seller is only obligated to sell the subject matter when tender price meets or exceeds reserve price.This The shortcomings that way is that bidder can not see concealed reserve price, and must constantly guess reserve price, if bidder's bid is too low, is reached Less than reserve price, auction failure is frequently resulted in.The present invention is different from the prior art.It allows the seller voluntarily to select to be setting one A disclosed reserve price, or one conditionity secret reserve price of setting.Disclosed reserve price is the seller to allow auction to succeed institute Receptible lowest price, the price will be disclosed to bidder.When the seller selects that disclosed reserve price is arranged, start in auction Before, the reserve price of the disclosure will be disclosed to bidder, to make bidder know the receptible lowest price of the seller, less than public affairs Opening all bids of reserve price will be refused by system.Unless certain situation being previously set and terminate auction in advance, open bottom The auction of valence is that the seller is not allowed to terminate auction in advance, due to just having known reserve price when bidder is disclosed from reserve price, and And the bid equal to or higher than the preset reserve price of the seller can only be submitted.According to the present invention, conditionity secret reserve price is:First, such as Fruit there are one bidder bid meet or exceed the seller setting reserve price, system will allow the seller select in advance terminate auction or Continue auction until the auction time limit terminates.Secondly, even if tender price does not reach the conditionity secret bottom of seller's setting Valence, system will allow acceptance of tenders price, highest-bidder that will win the purchase right of subject matter.Two classes of this offer The method of reserve price is more more efficient than the prior art and transparent because it make auction can favorably accomplish, to reduce by In the tender price that bidder speculates be not up to the hidden reserve price of seller's setting and the case where lead to abortive lot.
In addition, about the second price sealed auction method, no matter this method use bid ladder whether, be all defective 's.It may cause all real bidders to lose the possibility for winning subject matter, because highest bidder may output a void High tender price is to win auction.In the prior art, the second high sealing tender price is confirmed as the base of highest bidder's payment Quasi- value.Highest sealed price may be higher by a ladder of bidding than the second high sealing tender price.One ladder of bidding is to submit a tender It is artificial win auction and must on the basis of existing highest bid lattice the increased amount of money.Ladder of bidding is advised by auction rules A fixed predetermined amount of money.A preset ladder table of bidding is provided when auction, ladder of bidding exists depending on subject matter Trigger price in auction or present price, such as $ 0.5, $ 1, $ 5 or $ 10.However staircase method of bidding is not actually active, because Many times, there is no significant relationships with final tender price for highest bidder's amount of money to be paid.In fact, highest bidder is only The amount of money that tender price higher than second is higher by a ladder of bidding must be paid, this will lure that immoral bidder deliberately takes into At high price, sole purpose is exactly to win auction.These immoral bidders, which need not undertake, pays its high tender price outputed Responsibility, therefore be not concerned about in face of oneself artificial economic consequences for outputing virtual height tender price.The present invention can solve this Defect.According to the embodiment of the present invention, otherwise highest bidder needs to pay tender price in full or pays the certain of tender price Percentage adds the second high tender price.Because tender price needs the amount of money paid directly related with highest bidder, bidder is not Excessively high tender price may be artificially outputed greatly.
The exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of method by computer system and bidder is divided into two classes, such as A kind of bidder and two class bidders need to pay submitted sealed bid price wherein if a kind of bidder's acceptance of the bid, and Two class bidders then promise to undertake purchase " price protection service " to obtain the chance for reducing End-price.Bidder according to he/ Herself experience, preference and classification belonging to policy selection oneself is auctioned based on it or bidder can also randomly choose or from Row determines oneself to be a kind of bidder or two class bidders.Based on both types, bid item name can be flexible, such as It is properly termed as bid classification A and bid classification B, or is known as the bidder of " experienced " and " lacking experience " or other are any Title identifies both different types of bidders.Bidder is divided into a kind of bidder to the embodiment of the present invention and two classes are thrown Mark people:It needs to pay the tender price oneself outputed if a kind of bidder's acceptance of the bid, and two class bidders perhaps may be used if getting the bid To enjoy the profit potential that purchase " price protection service " is brought under certain condition -- pay concessional price.If submitted a tender People shows that he or she is two class bidders, and the embodiment of the present invention can provide " price protection service ", and service charge is bidder The certain percentage (such as 3% or 5%) of the tender price of submission, to potential reduction concluded price.In different auctions The bidder of auction can select to change bidder's classification belonging to them.If bidder submits a tender for an auction subject matter When confirm it oneself is a kind of bidder, he/her can also be in auction process, or two classes oneself will be identified as in other auctions Bidder.Therefore, a kind of bidder according to his/her experience, preference and considers that auctioning strategy determines tender price or throwing It marks people to determine after randomly choosing tender price, auction should be carried out with confidence.If he/her wins target after End of Auction Object should not also pay it obligation and feel to regret.Equally, when two class bidders of acceptance and guarantee " price protection service charge " submit a tender Can be lighter, because after End of Auction, if he/her is highest bidder, it is concessional that potential price may be obtained.
The exemplary embodiment of the invention will be solved by using " price protection service " and " price protection formula " Drawbacks described above such as " winner's curse ".According to the embodiment of the present invention, under the final price that pays is when two class bidders get the bid The sum of row items:The difference of " price protection service charge ", the second high tender price and tender price and the second high tender price It is multiplied by the number that preset percentages calculate.Before starting bid, bidder must confirm the bid classification belonging to them, But before End of Auction, they can change the bid classification belonging to it.According to the bid classification belonging to them, bidder needs The tender price submitted to it undertakes potential obligation for payment.A kind of bidder holds the tender price in full submitted to it Carry on a shoulder pole obligation for payment.And due to having purchased " price protection service ", the concluded price after the payable reduction and concession of two class bidders.Ultimate price Lattice can be calculated by " price protection formula ", wherein the End-price paid after two class bidders acceptance of the bid is to pass through The following adds up to be calculated:" price protection service charge ", the second high tender price and by tender price and second The calculated number of predetermined percentage of the difference of high tender price.According to different business strategies, system makes the seller be selected It selects and determines that who will be obtained " the price protection service charge " of two class bidders.Default, " price protection clothes based on the seller in systems Business expense " may be fully allocated to the seller, it is also possible to be fully allocated to bid the second high bidder i.e. " price protection service charge " It is allocated according to predetermined percentage by the high bidder of Any and All Bid second, alternatively, price protection service charge also may be used It is allocated by predetermined percentage by the seller and second high bidder's (may be multiple) of bid.In fact, if The seller is confident, and thinks that many bidders will be attracted by auctioning subject matter, he/her may select to retain " price protection in full Service charge ".On the other hand, if the seller wishes that more bidders is attracted to participate in submitting a tender, he/her may determine " price Protection service charge " is fully allocated to second high bidder's (may be more people) of bid.Therefore, even if since bidder has purchased Price protection service so that the auction money that the seller receives is fewer than initial tender price, and the seller still can be in the conclusion of the business recalculated It selects to collect a part of " price protection service charge " outside price.In addition, it can be to clap that two class bidders do not have to concern when submitting a tender It sells subject matter and states a price excessively high, this enthusiasm that final raising bidder takes part in auction.In addition, if only there are one bidders couple Auction subject matter is submitted a tender, and he/her is identified as two class bidders by bidder, then the whole of " price protection service charge " Cost will return the seller to own, and the trigger price of the seller is considered as the second high tender price.
However, purchase " price protection service " is related to relevant risk factors.Buy " price protection service " not always Bidder can be reduced and need the concluded price paid.If the difference between tender price and the second high tender price is very big, that The protection service of two class bidder's purchasing prices will likely be such that their End-price is greatly reduced.But if acceptance of the bid Difference very little between price and the second high tender price or only inappreciable difference, the protection of two class bidder's purchasing prices Service may additionally increase cost or loss, because the End-price of highest bidder's payment will likely be higher than the throwing of its submission Marked price lattice.The abuse that the potential loss that purchase " price protection service " is brought will can effectively prevent bidder to system.If no There are potential loss, and setting " price protection service " will be meaningless, because each bidder can buy, " price protection takes Business ", to reduce concluded price, pays less expense, this principle that destruction commercial operation should accept the risk.
In order to illustrate the potential risk of purchase " price protection service ", three examples are enumerated here:Example one, if there are one Bidder, such as No. 1 bidder confirm that he/her is two class bidders, submit the tender price of $ 100, and pay " price protection Service charge ", the amount of money are 5% (i.e. the $ 5.00) of $ 100.Predetermined percentage suitable for tender price is 20%, that is, is used The difference of tender price and the second high tender price is multiplied by 20% to calculate End-price.Another bidder, such as 2 Number bidder confirms that he/her is a kind of bidder, and submits the quotation of $ 50, this is the second high tender price.In addition, another Bidder, such as No. 3 bidders confirm that he/her is a kind of bidder, submit the tender price of $ 40.In End of Auction, No. 1 Bidder gets the bid, and according to above-mentioned formula, No. 1 payable amount of money of bidder is:Second high tender price+[20% × (highest is thrown The high tender price of marked price lattice-the second)].Therefore, No. 1 bidder finally needs to pay:$ 50+ [20% × ($ 100- $ 50)], i.e. $ 60.The totle drilling cost of No. 1 artificial auction subject matter payment of submitting a tender is 60, and additional 5.00 " price protection service charge " amounts to 65.The tender price that No. 1 bidder originally submitted is $ 100, but he actually only takes and amounts to $ 65, to save $ 35. No. 3 bidders do not win subject matter finally, therefore price protection service charge will not be deducted from his/her account.
Example two, it is assumed that situation is identical with upper example, the difference is that the tender price of No. 1 bidder is $ 101, and pays $ 5.05 " price protection service charge ".No. 2 bidders bid $ 100, this is the second high tender price.Highest bidder when End of Auction For No. 1 bidder.The amount of money of payment is by he:$ 100+ [20% × ($ 101- $ 100)], i.e. $ 100.20.No. 1 artificial claps of submitting a tender The totle drilling cost for selling subject matter cost is $ 100.20, separately adds " price protection service charge " $ 5.05, amounts to $ 105.25.At this point, No. 1 The tender price of the $ 101 of expense submission more initial than its of bidder's payment has more $ 4.25, and therefore he assumes responsibility for purchase " price is protected It is lost caused by shield service ".
Example three assumes again that the " price protection of the situation identical as example one, No. 1 bidder's bid 100 and payment 5.00 Service charge ".No. 2 bidders' bid $ 80.No. 1 bidder is the successful bidder in End of Auction and will payment:$ 80+ [20% × ($ 100- $ 80)], i.e. $ 84.The totle drilling cost of No. 1 artificial auction subject matter payment of submitting a tender is 84 plus 5.00 " price protections Service charge ", final totle drilling cost are $ 89.This time No. 1 bidder saves 11, it is apparent that low not as good as the cost of example one.
Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention prevents bidder artificially to output the case where virtual height tender price is to win auction. Or because of tender price or use tender price that the present invention claims bidder's full-payout, it is quoted and the second high bid Some predetermined percentage of the difference of price calculates concluded price.Bidder will be prevented from submitting virtual height quotation or offer It is high.Therefore, the present invention prevents bidder to output the case where virtual height tender price wins auction.Because the present invention claims bidders Its tender price for quoting of full-payout or payment pass through the calculated price of price protection formula.Bidder will be prevented from deliberately Submit the quotation far above subject matter real value.Because tender price is higher, bidder finally needs the price paid may Also higher.The present invention is the price of closer subject matter real value by reflect highest bidder's payment, while will also prevent to throw Mark people outputs the sealed bid price of virtual height.A kind of bidder is also less likely to think when winning subject matter oneself to be subject matter Extravagent price is paid, because bidder can select the identity with two class bidders to submit a tender, to be counted again End-price is calculated, it is concessional to obtain potential price.Therefore, final " winner's curse " can be greatly decreased.
In order to be reduced as far as the multiple bids for same amount occur it may require that submitted and thrown as unit of dollar when bid Standard gold volume, and remain into 2 significant digits (such as $ 25.78).
If two bidders output the ceiling price of same amount, and belong to same bid classification (such as two Bidder is a kind of bidder either two class bidders), then the two bidders can be in the predetermined spy of system It rebids in timing section.However, if the two bidders for outputing identical highest bid lattice belong to different bids Classification (such as a bidder is a kind of bidder, another bidder is two class bidders), then the two bidders are such as If fruit is got the bid, payable concluded price is calculated by respectively affiliated classification is pressed respectively.In that case, the bid of submission The high bidder of price will win subject matter and be the successful bidder.Bat is maintained according to the method that highest concluded price determines highest bidder The fairness sold, because the highest people that bids will be the successful bidder.
After bidder and the seller complete transaction, if mutually the feedback opinion of other side's offer each other will be helpful to preferably for they Improve auction service.In general, this is realized by evaluating and/or commenting on.After End of Auction, both sides are by paying and delivering Subject matter completes transaction (as being applicable in).The system of this patent enables the seller and bidder mutually to evaluate and provides and transaction phase The feedback of pass.Before submitting unfavorable ratings/comment, system will provide the chance got in touch with each other to both sides.This will be carried for both sides For preferably linking up, to solve questions and doubts, to reduce unfavorable ratings.
When needing to prompt the seller and the following situations of bidder, including but not limited to:Tender price submit successfully, related clap Sell the time limit, tender price is rejected, win auction, auction result etc., system can be disappeared by server with Email, immediately The modes such as breath, voice messaging send to the computer equipment of the seller and bidder and notify.
Above system can provide a platform, to promote at least one party or multi-party matched auction marketplace, wherein bidder It can submit a tender at one or more sellers simultaneously, and sell the bid that can collect one or more bidders, platform is to every A certain proportion of expense or commission are collected in transaction.
System also includes the method determined with the relevant expense of one or more risk factors of transaction, and wherein this method makes Identify that highest bid lattice and the second high tender price, two class bidders are bought " price protection service " with bidder's information The final price that cost and highest bidder must pay.In addition to this, the system or platform can also be received for the auction service that it is provided Take a certain proportion of service charge.
The present invention can also use Data Verification module in online auction.It is main that this will verify at least four by system Data group:1) bidder and the seller are determined;2) determine that the auction data submitted is accurate;3) highest bidder is verified;And 4) really Recognize transaction completion etc..
ID is verified.One of online auction problem is information asymmetry, is carried out this is because transaction is full energy matries 's.In order to solve anonymity issue, system allows the seller and bidder in payment small charge and confirms it through credit information company Become " identity has verified that " user after identity.It does so usable family to trust, because their counterparty-bidder or selling Fang Jun is verified, that is, their identity is known.In addition, once going wrong, user can also be chased after Whether track, the auction data for verifying submission are correct.The reception and keeping of bid:All throwings received before the opening of bid time of setting Marked price lattice are all secrecy, and are kept properly, and the seller or administrative staff will not open or consult any bid, these bid prices Lattice are saved in the electronic bidding case that limitation accesses.If bid is revoked, it will be preserved in bid case to auction knot Beam.Before bid starts, the information in relation to bidder's identity and quantity can be obtained by only auctioning administrative staff.Opening of bid:When opening of bid Between preset before auction by the seller.The accuracy that system verification is submitted a tender:All bids are with acceptable digitlization lattice Formula is submitted.System verifies bid by preventing the replacement to bid, addition, deletion or the possibility of change.Record It submits a tender:After the completion of verification of submitting a tender, submits a tender and be considered as completion and by its accuracy of system authentication.It, can not when bid project is too many When ensureing all bids by complete documentation, the summary entries individually submitted a tender can only record goods to auction number and tender price. Bid can be consulted, but the true identity of bidder is encrypted.The refusal of bid:After opening of bid, according to the present invention, submit most The bidder of high tender price gets the bid, and refuses all bids unless there are convincing reason and cancels auction.The seller should use up The variation before auction starts is predicted in all effort, and notifies the resulting any related auction target of all potential source rocks The case where modification or cancellation of object.This will allow bidder's change or withdraw a bid, and prevent the unnecessary leakage of tender price. In the usual course, it must not cancel after opening of bid or re-request is auctioned.In situations, it submits a tender after starting and in auction result Before generation, bid invitation can be cancelled, refuse all bids:(1) patent specification is changed;(2) since the seller is uncontrollable Situation, valuable auction subject matter can not be auctioned;(3) any bid is not received;(4) obviously meet the public based on other The reason of interests, cancels auction.Verification after the completion of transaction:Highest bidder and the seller must confirm that the transaction of both sides successfully completes: 1) seller obtains the cost of auction subject matter, and 2) bidder has received auction subject matter.
Auction result is caused to be postponed till except the acceptable time range of bidder if occurring difficult management after opening of bid If, notify that all bids are rejected bidder.When system judges it is necessary to refuse all bids, system is notified that each All bids of position bidder are rejected, and illustration.Receive unreadable electronic bidding:If the bid that system receives is not Readable degree indeed reaches the stage that cannot be satisfied bid basic demand, and system will notify bidder:Due to undesirable, Bid will be rejected.Mistake in bid:System will check all bidding errors, if it find that mistake, will notify bidder, entangle Lookup error rear is subjected to its bid.Mistake includes but not limited to apparent decimal point dislocation etc..
As shown in Figure 1A -4, server (102) passes through in communication network (for example, internet (100)) and multiple sellers The computer equipment (such as 108,114) of at least one seller and with multiple registration at least one of bidders bidders' Computer equipment (such as 106,110,112) is communicated.Server (102) connects from the computer equipment (108,114) of the seller Receive the auction request in relation to auctioning subject matter.Auction request includes to be input to computer equipment extremely by least one registration seller Few one description and auction time limit in relation to auctioning subject matter.Server according to auction request bidder computer equipment On (106,110 and 112) displaying auction is introduced to multiple bidders;Within the auction time limit, on the computer equipment of bidder (such as 106,110,112) receive at least one sealed bid (200) and are communicated with server (102), wherein at least one A sealed bid (200) includes the tender price of auction subject matter;Within the time limit of auction, server (102) is directed to from bid People's computer equipment (106,110 and each of 112) receive (at least one) sealed bid (200) to bidder distribute one with The ID (202) of machine;The data record (210) of each (at least one) sealed bid is stored in the server, and data record is at least Include true ID (204), a timestamp (206) and a tender price of the random ID of a bidder, bidder (208);Wherein server (102) passes through at least one of communication network (for example, internet (100)) and multiple registration sellers It the seller and communicates at least one of multiple registration bidders bidder, and is thrown according to each (at least one) sealing Mark determining highest bidder at the end of auctioning the time limit of data record (210).Server may include one or more databases (104).As shown in figure 3, the computer equipment (300) of bidder can be gathered around, there are one internal clocking mechanisms (302).Internal clocking machine Structure can be directed to each (at least one) sealed bid (200) automatic identification timestamp (206) and send server (102) to.When Between stamp for determine submit submit a tender sequence.The computer equipment (300) of each bidder also may include a display (304), and can be existing any computer equipment.For example, smart mobile phone, tablet computer, PC or it is any its His computer equipment.Equally, the computer equipment (400) of the seller, is shown in shown in Fig. 4 examples, may include a display (402), And can be any computer equipment.
As shown in Figure 1B, database (104) includes data related with tendering process, including but not limited to:Tangible auction The particulars (116) of subject matter;The particulars (118) of invisible auction subject matter;It is divided according to the property of auction subject matter Transaction data (122).Database also includes pervious Successful Transaction record and concluded price (120);Tender price data (124) (such as bid history, price, timestamp);Subscriber data (126) (such as files on each of customers, financial information, auction history, Highest bidder's identity information of sealed bid);And other transaction datas (128).Database can be set by the computer of the seller The computer equipment (106) of standby (108) or bidder are connect with the seller and bidder, so that the seller and bidder inquire and obtain Relevant information, such as the historical trading of auction subject matter and price reference.In the subject matter that bidder intends to submit a tender to them In the case of lacking understanding enough and experience, or work as the seller in the case where determining that reserve price needs to refer to price, lane database Historical trading data can be at least one of multiple registration bidders at least one of bidder or multiple registration sellers The seller provides the price reference of at least one valuable auction subject matter auctioned in the past.Database can be multiple registration bidders At least one of bidder or multiple registration at least one of seller seller's query search are at least one once auctioned ID of the information of valuable auction subject matter without disclosing practical highest bidder.Each (at least one) sealed bid can auction Lasting period be stored securely in server;In End of Auction, tender price and timestamp will be displayed to multiple Bidder, and the true ID of bidder is not displayed.
The system has the method for safeguarding one or more databases, these databases include but not limited to highest bidder and the seller Information, but non-disclosure its true identity (the also referred to as ID of practical bidder).The information of tangible and/or invisible auction subject matter And the database about the Successful Transaction occurred in the specific period.
As shown in Figure 5A, the embodiment of the present invention allows bidder to be registered (step in system before submitting bid Rapid S500).After registration, user account is verified (step S502), and registration bidder must be according to its experience, preference and bat Selling a kind of bid classification of policy selection or bidder can also randomly choose (step S504).It is selected to the use of two class bidders Family (step S506), which will promise to undertake, buys " price protection service " ("Yes", step S508).If two class bidders do not promise to undertake purchase " price protection service " ("No", step S508), system can prompt bidder (step S510), as the throwing of two class bidders Mark will be rejected.System will send request to bidder allows it to be changed to a kind of bidder (step S512).If bid person "Yes" is selected, and is changed to a kind of bidder ("Yes", step S512), is submitted a tender then bidder can be used as a kind of bidder to input Price is simultaneously submitted to and starts after system to submit a tender (step S518).If bidder selects no ("No", step S508), then submitting a tender Bid qualification of the people in auction will be cancelled (step S514).
The user for being selected to a kind of bidder (step S516) can be started by inputting tender price (step S518) It submits a tender.Bidder, either a kind of bidder or two class bidders, need to confirm the accuracy of tender price, while confirming to throw It marks people to have the ability to pay the tender price and relevant cost of its input, this is the dual confirmation (step S520) of bidder.Such as Fruit bidder does not confirm tender price or ability to pay ("No", step S520), then system will notify its bid of bidder It will be rejected (step S522).Bidder can be by confirming tender price and ability to pay (step S528) selection change option ("Yes", step S524).If bidder's selection does not confirm tender price and ability to pay (no, step S524), then throwing Mark people will be prohibited submitted a tender (step S526).If bidder confirms tender price and confirms that its economic capability is enough The submitted tender price (step S528) of payment, then tender price will be received, and is input into system (step S538), and the tender price is by an assigned random id number and bid timestamp (step S540).
It obtains dual confirmation once submitting a tender and submits to system, which sells whether the tender price that inquiry is submitted is less than The trigger price (step S530) just set.If tender price is less than the trigger price ("Yes", step S530) of seller's setting, then System can refuse the tender price (step S532) automatically, and allow bidder that tender price is changed to set not less than the seller Trigger price (step S534).If bidder refuses change tender price, system will finally refuse the tender price (step S526).After bidder changes tender price, whether system can inquire the tender price of submission less than being set by the seller again Trigger price (step S530).If the tender price submitted is not less than trigger price (no, step S530), then system will receive submission Tender price, and the amount of money is input in bidding system (step S538), and the ID of sealed bid people.Due to all receiving Tender price be all sealing, bidder and tender price show assigned a random identification number and timestamp The time (step S540) that tender price is received in auction by system.
As shown in Figure 5 B, after system distributes random id number and record bid timestamp (step S540), allow bidder Submitted tender price is cancelled or changed before End of Auction (step S542).However, each bidder only allows submission one A effective bid.If bidder does not change the bid (no, step S542) of its submission, then system can determine that it is submitted Bid is its only effective bid (step S544).If bidder determines to change submitted bid (being S542), then throw Mark people can change before bid, re-enter new tender price, then resubmit (step S548) again.If submitted a tender People no longer changes tender price, and system can determine whether that the bid that it is resubmited is the only effective bid (step S550).Once The time is auctioned by auction terminates (step S546) at once.
Once End of Auction, tender price will disclose (step S546) to auction participant, and system will determine that bidder is It is no to have won auction.If bidder gets the bid, and he/her is a kind of bidder ("Yes", a kind of, step S552), then winning Bidder's tender price for submitting payment for auction, separately plus correlative charges, if any, (the step such as such as freight charges S556).If bidder wins auction, and he/her is two class bidders (being two classes, step S552), then winning auction Bidder payment is separately added into correlative charges (if any) determining ultimate price afterwards using " price protection formula " calculated price Lattice (step S558).If the system determine that bidder does not win auction (no, step S552), then bidder does not have to pay any Fund (step S554).Bidder, which wins, to auction and after paying final price, sells direction highest bidder and puts up to auction subject matter (step S560).After auction subject matter consigns to highest bidder, auction both sides can mutually be commented (step S562).It merchandises to this Terminate (step 564).
As shown in Figure 5 C, after two class bidders win auction, final price is determined by application " price protection formula " (step S566)." price protection formula " adds up the following:" price protection service charge ", the second high tender price, The difference of tender price and the second high tender price is multiplied by the amount of money (step S568) that predetermined percentage obtains, is then based on The seller's is default, and system will determine that who will obtain " price protection service charge " (step S570).It can be by whole " price protection service Expense " distributes to the second high bidder (step S574) of the seller (step S572) or bid.Then system further determines that bid The quantity of second high bidder.If only one bid second high bidder's (being, step S576), then all " prices Protection service charge " will distribute to the second high bidder (step S578) of this unique bid.If there is multiple bids second High bidder (no, step S576), then all " price protection service charges " by predetermined percentage in Any and All Bid It is split (step S580) between second high bidder.Alternatively, " price protection service charge " is to predefine Percentage the seller and bid the second high bidder between be split (step S582).In the case, " price protection A part for service charge " is assigned to the seller (step S584) in predetermined ratio;Remaining of " price protection service charge " Part is assigned to the bidder (step S586) of the second high tender price.In the next step, system further determines whether Only the second high bidder (step S576) of a unique bid.If the system determine that only existing a second high throwing of bid Mark people's (being, step S576).Then it is high will to distribute to unique bid second for the rest part of " price protection service charge " Bidder (step S578).If the system determine that without second high bidder's (no, nothing, step S588) of any bid, than Such as only there are one bidder in the case of, the preset trigger price of the seller will be considered as the second high price, " price protection take The rest part of business expense " will be assigned to the seller (step S590).If there is more than one the second high bidder of bid (it is no, More than one, step S588), then the rest part of " price protection service charge " by predetermined percentage in Any and All Bid It is allocated (step S594) between second high bidder.
As shown in Figure 6A, the embodiment of the present invention allows seller registering account (step S600) in systems.It is clapped in setting Before selling details, the seller must carry out system verification (step S602).After system verification is completed, the seller can issue auction request (step S604).Before details is auctioned in setting, the seller can input explanation and auction time limit in relation to subject matter etc., and illustrate Whether there is any bidder ratified in advance, is such as applicable in (step S606).In next step, the seller determines that who will obtain " price protection Service charge " (step S608).Then the seller can illustrate whether auction is related to ownership transfer (step S610).If auction relates to And ownership transfer (being, step S610), it is intended to sell auction subject matter (step S612) in auction then the seller has.If Auction is not related to ownership transfer (no, step S610), then the seller intends to share auction mark in the special time period of auction Object the right of possession corporeal right (step S614).
As shown in Figure 6B, once the seller determines transfer the ownership, reserve price (step S616) can be voluntarily arranged by selling.If sold Side's selection is not provided with reserve price (no, step S616), then any nominal trigger price can be arranged in he/her, such as $ 1.00, and bat It sells the time limit, including at the beginning of auction and the end time (step S618).System sends out one thus has unique call number Timestamp (step S618) be identified.Then, system will start acceptance of tenders (step S658) until End of Auction, throws Marked price lattice cannot be below trigger price (step S660).After End of Auction, during system will handle all bids and select tentatively Marked price lattice (step S662).On the other hand, if the seller selects setting reserve price (being, step S616), the seller can with conditionity Hide reserve price (step S620) or open reserve price (step S638).If the seller has selected open reserve price (step S638), Before bidder starts bid (step S640), system will notify reserve price to bidder.Auction begins with timestamp With auction time limit (step S642), system receives the bid (step S644) of bidder.If tender price is less than reserve price (step S646), then tender price can refuse (step S648) by system, transaction will not occur (step S650).If tender price Equal to or higher than reserve price (step S652), then system is by acceptance of tenders (step S654).The seller is not in both cases Allow to terminate auction (step S656) in advance, supports to terminate auction in advance unless pre-determined special circumstances occur.If sold Side's selection setting conditionity reserve price (step S620), then reserve price, which will not disclose, gives bidder (step S622).The seller is arranged Auction price (step S624) is provided when the time limit of auction and timestamp (step S626), and when auction starts, system is notified that bidder Terminate the possibility of auction in advance in relation to the seller, system starts the tender price (step S628) of acceptance of tenders people.System will be looked into Ask whether tender price is more than reserve price (step S630).If exceeding reserve price (being, step S630), whether auction terminates then in advance Depending on the preset condition of (step S628) seller.System is notified that seller's tender price has reached reserve price, and the seller can select Terminate auction.The seller can also be configured in systems, once reaching reserve price, auction self termination.If tender price is not Reach reserve price (no, step S630), system will acceptance of tenders people bid (step S632).If tender price is less than reserve price (step S634), system will continue the bid of acceptance of tenders people.After bid is received by system (step S636), until End of Auction Before (step S660), system will handle all bids and selects preliminary tender price (step S662).
As shown in Figure 6 C, received by system when submitting a tender, after End of Auction (step S660), system can primarily determine acceptance of the bid Price (step S662).Preliminary tender price might have variation and adjustment (step S664), determine depending on bidder oneself Fixed bid classification.If highest bidder is a kind of bidder (step S666), the seller will receive all acceptance of the bid cost (steps S668), End of Auction (step S684).If highest bidder is two class bidders (step S670), " price is protected for system application Shield formula " (step S672) calculates final price." price protection formula " is calculated by being added up to the following (step S674):The predetermined portions (step S676) of " price protection service charge ", the second high tender price (step S678), in The predetermined percentage (step S680) of the difference for lattice and the second high tender price of marking the price.Therefore, the seller will obtain above-mentioned every (step S682 the amount of money after) adding up.Later, (step S684) is completed in auction, and highest bidder pays End-price and is applicable in plus any Extra charge, if any (step S686).The seller puts up to auction subject matter (step S688), and both sides evaluate mutually (step It is rapid 690), closing the transaction (step 692).
As shown in fig. 7, after End of Auction, system will determine that highest-bidder is highest bidder (S700).System Identical tender price (S702) is will be determined whether.If without identical tender price (no, step S702), system can be selected Select highest tender price (S704).If there is more than one identical tender price (being, step S702), then system will determine They whether be same type bidder (step S706) (step S714)." bidder of same type " this term refers to At least a kind of bidder or two class bidders are belonged to there are two bidder.If identical tender price comes from same type Bidder (step S706), then system can prompt bidder to resubmit bid (step within the predetermined time limit S708).If bidder resubmits bid (being, step S708), then the highest bid lattice that resubmit are won (step S710).If bidder does not resubmit bid (no, step S708) within the predetermined time limit, then it is last round of most The bidder for first having submitted bid gets the bid (step S712).If the identical bidder of tender price comes from different classifications (step S714), then system will calculating final price (step S716).Tender price highest bidder wins (step S718). Highest bidder pays End-price (step S720).
