Hereinafter, an auction method using the communication device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention is a method for a person who is a member using a communication device to easily attend an auction at a desired time or place. The method of the present invention can be easily applied by connecting a server 10 capable of managing an auction to the first and second communication devices 12 and 16 shown in FIG. 1 (in the drawing, the first base station). Only)).

The server 10 includes, for example, a database function for storing member information, an authentication function for authenticating whether a member is a valid member registered when the member is connected, a storage function for storing a bid amount input by the member, It includes a central processing function for selecting bidders by comparing bid amounts entered by various members. The data generated by the server 10 is modulated with an encrypted code and transmitted from the base station through the antenna.

The base stations may be connected to the server 10 by wire or wirelessly, and the server 10 should be able to stably communicate with the first base station 12, the second base station 16,. For this purpose, it is preferable to install the server 10 inside the first base station 12 and to connect with the remaining second base station 16, the n-th base station. Of course, it is also possible to transmit data from the server 10 by using a wired or wireless telephone in a separate place.

When the communication device 20 attempts to connect in the area in which the first base station 12 is in charge, the first base station 12 connects to the server 10 and attempts to connect in the area in which the second base station 16 is in charge. If the second base station 16 is connected to the server 10 via the first base station 12, the auction proceeds.

The structure and operation of the communication device 20 will be described briefly as follows. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the server 10 is connected to the first base station 12 and the member is connected via the second base station 16. When the member 10 calls the member, the dialing signal is transmitted to the communication device 20 through the antenna 18 via the first base station 12 and the second base station 16, and when the communication device 20 is off-hook. The server 10 and the communication device 20 are connected. When the connection is established, a communication line is connected to the server 10, the first base station 12, the second base station 16, the antenna 18, and the communication device 20. The communication line may be formed by the member calling the server 10 to the communication device 20. Of course, when the member moves to the jurisdiction of another base station, the communication line is changed.

When the communication device 20 is switched to the auction mode, the voice call function using the speaker 36 and the microphone 40 of the conventional communication device is temporarily blocked so as not to be interrupted in data communication. Reference numerals 34 and 38 are amplifiers. In the auction method using voice among the auction methods according to the present invention, the speaker 36 and / or the microphone 40 may be used. Since the auction method according to the present invention can also be input by the keypad unit and can also be input by voice, a method of inputting by voice or outputting by voice even when referring to the input method by the input unit 22 in the present specification. Include.

If there is only one auction item, the display may go to the next step without displaying the auction item, and after a while, may move to the next step-item selection step 400.

When the auction item is selected, a screen for inputting the bid price for the auction item is displayed, and the member inputs the bid price and transmits it to the server 10. The bid price sent to the server 10 is stored with the member's information. If the member wants to modify the bid price can be re-bid-bidding step 500.

When the bid is completed, the server 10 compares the bid amount input from each member, selects the bidder with the highest amount, and notifies each member of the successful bid and non-successful bidding notification step 600.

The non-sold bidder releases the communication line, asks the successful bidder to select whether to send the mail to the address entered in the server 10 or to a new entry place, and to send the mail to the address entered in the server 10. In one case, the communication line is released, and when a new input is made, the mail destination is input through the input unit 22, or the voice is input, and then the communication line is released.

After the call step 100 or the attendance check step 200, a member verification step 300 for confirming the identity of the member may be added by inputting the identification code or the member number of the member by an input unit or a voice. Member verification step 300 may be confirmed by the member in a number of ways, such as the password set at the time of registration, to enter the resident registration number, to enter the number of the last digit of the resident registration number, or to enter the last two digits of the resident registration number.
