Description

  The present invention relates to an auction server device, method, and program for realizing an auction on a network such as the Internet.

  In recent years, a system for auctioning on a network using a computer has been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in a server client system interconnected via a network, a server computer sequentially lowers the price of a product, accepts bids from each client computer, and receives a plurality of bid requests at a certain price. If there is, the bidder determines that one of the bidders is the winning bidder, and the server computer sends the winning bid confirmation information to the winning bidder and ends the auction.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, in order to further stimulate participants' willingness to purchase in a system that conducts auctions via a network, the member-only Web server accepts member bids and the bid price is set by the exhibitor. A product that exceeds the price is shifted to a sold-out state in which it is determined that the product has no longer been used. The sold-out status is notified to the user by sending the seller information search screen in which “sold out” is arranged to the personal computer on which the user clicked “exhibitor information search / bid” on the member-only menu screen. Are listed.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, as a system for restricting bidders of an auction, when a server accepts a bid for an auction participant, if it is not a bidder-restricted auction, only a registered user name and password are input. A page for inputting keywords is displayed in the case of a bidder-restricted auction. When the keyword is correct, it is described that a normal bidding process is performed.
