In an embodiment of the present invention, the seller represents an internet site and an operator who sells goods on the Internet, and the broker is affiliated with the seller to display the goods and logos of the seller's goods, that is, the internet site and the operator who brokers the goods sale. The affiliate company code represents a code for identifying an intermediary that brokers the sale of the product in cooperation with the seller. The purchaser represents all Internet accessors who purchase goods from the seller, and in this invention, in particular, an Internet accessor who connects to the brokerage state and clicks on the product or banner information provided in the brokerage state leads to the seller.

In a product sales system over the Internet having such a structure, a seller may apply for registration from a number of brokers who wish to sell products in partnership with him, assign a different affiliate code to each registered broker, and then Provide a banner representing product data, a seller's logo, and the like.

Sales performance is given to brokers who have a business code. The seller calculates the sales performance of the intermediary that brokers the merchandise sales at regular intervals and provides them to the broker.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 3a to 3c attached to the operation of the product sales system via the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

3a to 3c illustrate the operational flow of a product selling system via the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the sales server 30 receives an application for subscription from a plurality of brokers who wish to broker a product sale through the Internet 20. When a plurality of brokerage shares are connected to a web site operated by the sales server 30 through the mediation server 40, the sales server 30 displays a home page. The homepage displays a trader's name and logo, and provides various menus provided by the seller, for example, a menu such as "product introduction" and "subscription of a sales affiliate." In addition, you can display the seller propaganda text and greetings welcoming visitors.

For example, when an intermediary owner clicks "Join a sales affiliated member" to join a sales affiliated member, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 reads the corresponding data from the site operation database 333 and then mediates the broker. Display subscription terms and member registration form.

When the broker shares the member's ID, password, E-mail address, etc. by clicking the member registration form to register as a member, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 registers the connected broker as a member. After assigning an affiliate company code for identification, the affiliate company code is transmitted to the corresponding broker (S10-S30). The mediation server 40 downloads and stores the affiliate company code transmitted from the sales server 30 (S40). The central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 classifies a plurality of brokerage shares registered according to this operation by affiliate company codes and stores them in the site operation database 333.

Subsequently, the mediation server 40 downloads and stores the product data sold by the sales owner or the logo data indicating the sales owner from the sales server 30 (S50 to S70). In an embodiment of the present invention, the mediation server 40 may download data from the sales server 30 in the following four ways.

First, the broker stores all product data sold by the seller, and downloads the product data by directly accessing the file site operated by the seller.

The sales server 30 stores a plurality of commodity data for each commodity type in the commodity database 331, and stores new commodity data for a predetermined period (once a week). For example, items such as "store name", "product name", "member price", "shipping fee", "manufacturer", "site address", "picture location", "detailed information" for a single product Create and store commodity data consisting of:

The sales server 30 provides all the product data sold by itself in a separate file site, and the mediation server 40 receives the product data using an ID and a password after accessing the site.

Second, the brokers search for the products sold by the sellers and download the desired products.

The sales server 30 operates a separate search page for searching for a product to be sold, and the mediation server 40 accesses the search page to request a search for a specific product, and the center of the sales server 30 The processing device 31 retrieves the requested product from the product database 331 and displays the search result. Therefore, according to the search result, the mediation server 40 downloads and stores desired product data.

Third, the brokers download the product data recommended by the sellers. The sales server 30 operates a recommendation product registration page and registers a particular product by recommending a specific product from a plurality of accessors connecting the seller, and provides the recommended product data on the recommendation product page. Therefore, the brokerage broker 40 accesses the recommended product page operated by the sales server 30, downloads and stores recommended product data.

Fourth, the banner provided by the seller's banner page is downloaded. The sales server 30 receives and registers a banner indicating various information of the seller in addition to product data such as a logo representing the seller and an event logo held by the seller through the banner registration page, and then displays the banner through the banner page. Therefore, the mediation brokerage server 40 accesses the banner page of the sales server 30, selects, downloads and stores the provided banner.

In addition to these methods, the broker can download various information provided by the seller through various methods.

Next, when an arbitrary visitor connects to the intermediary server 40 via the Internet 20, the intermediary mediation server 40 provides a banner on its own site indicating a product or a logo of the sales representative provided by the affiliated seller. Are displayed together with the unique information (S80 to S90). Therefore, the visitor who connected the broker can be the buyer of the seller.

For example, if a site that offers a performance information such as music or a movie and brokers a merchandise sale in cooperation with the seller, displays a banner indicating the seller's product or the owner's logo along with its own performance information, the performance information is displayed. The accessor who is searching may have a desire to purchase while viewing the displayed product. Accordingly, when the visitor clicks on a product or banner displayed in the broker state, the visitor becomes a buyer who can purchase the product sold in the seller.

When the purchaser clicks on a banner representing a product or a seller's logo, the mediation server 40 is connected to the sales server 30 to display only the message or affiliate code of the selected product together with the product code of the selected product. Each message is sent to the sales server 30 (S100 to S110).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the connection protocol format in which the mediation server 40 is connected to the sales server 30 is as follows.

Http: //www.Seller's email address / each contact page information = Affiliate Code

Here, when the buyer clicks on the product, it is connected to the corresponding product page of the seller by the following format.

Http: //www.Seller's Email Address / Product Display Page Info = Product Code + Affiliate Code

In addition, when the buyer clicks on the banner, it is connected to the homepage of the seller by the following format.

Http: //www.Seller's Email Address / Home Page Info = Affiliate Code

Therefore, when the buyer clicks on the product, the mediation server 40 is directly connected to the product display page providing data on the corresponding product of the sales server 30, where the sales server 30 is connected to the product data. Together, we provide an optional statement confirming the buyer's intention to order.

However, when the buyer clicks on the banner, the mediation server 40 is connected to the home page of the sales server 30, and the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 determines the product data and Display the page for ordering a product.

When the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 includes the product code in the message transmitted from the mediation server 40, the central processing unit 31 stores the affiliate company code in the sales database 332 together with the product code. If the message contains only the affiliate company code, the affiliate company code is stored in the sales database 332.

In this way, after providing the selection statement confirming the purchaser's intention to order the product, when the purchaser clicks the selection statement and orders the product, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 selects the product code selected in the sales database 332. Check if the affiliate code is included in the code, and if the affiliate code is included, store the affiliate code in a variable representing the sales of the product.

On the other hand, if the affiliate product code is not included in the selected product code, the central processing unit 31 determines whether the affiliate company code is already stored in another area except the product code or product code of the sales database 332. If there is already a stored affiliate code, the affiliate code is stored in a variable representing the sales of the corresponding product.

More specifically, when a buyer selects a product A through an intermediary and connects to the seller, the product data A contains an affiliate code. However, the purchaser accesses the seller through the intermediary. If you order another B product without ordering the next selected A product, B's product data does not include the affiliate code. However, even in such a case, since the buyer accesses the seller through the intermediary order and orders the B product, the sales server 30 recognizes the order for the B product as the sales of the intermediary and associates the variable with the variable representing the sales of the B product. Save the code.

On the other hand, even if the buyer clicks on a banner indicating a seller's logo or the like displayed in the brokerage state, accesses the seller, and then orders the product, the ordered product data does not include the affiliate company code. However, even in this case, since the buyer connected to the seller through the broker, the affiliate company code is transmitted from the broker and stored in the sales database 332. Therefore, the order for this product is recognized as the sales of the broker, and the affiliated company code is stored in a variable representing the sales of the product (S120 to S150).

On the contrary, when the currently selected product code does not include the affiliate code and the affiliate code is not stored in any area in the sales database 332, the purchaser directly accesses the seller without going through an intermediary. By determining that the product is selected, the sales information is recorded in the variable representing the sales of the seller (S160).

In addition, when the order operation of other goods is made, as described above, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 determines whether the affiliate company code is included in the database 33 and records the sales information.

When the product ordering operation is completed, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 provides a menu for entering a product payment statement, for example, a buyer's credit card number, etc. for paying the ordered goods, and the buyer himself or herself. When the ordered product is settled by writing a credit card number or the like (S170 to S180), a variable representing the sales of each product is read from the sales database 332 to determine whether an affiliated company code is included (S190).

If the affiliate processor code is included, the central processing unit 31 recognizes the sales for each product as the sales performance of the affiliate company, records the affiliate company code in the order data for the corresponding product (S200), and the affiliate company. If the code is not included, the sales of each product are recognized as the sales performance of the seller and the seller is recorded in the order data for the corresponding product (S210).

Here, the purchaser may pay each time a single product is selected, or may select all the products to be purchased and then simultaneously pay for all selected products.

In this way, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 records the order data for the goods paid and stores in the sales database 333. Thus, the goods subsequently sold based on the order data are delivered to each buyer.

Next, the central processing unit 31 mediates based on the order data stored in the sales database 332 so that the purchaser can check daily or weekly or monthly order details of the purchase of the goods through the brokering partner affiliated with the seller. It calculates the sales history order history of the week, and provides the calculated order history through a separate order history page (S220).

When the broker shares the order details page of the sales server 30 to check the order details, the sales server 30 provides the order details of the broker. After checking the provided order history, the brokerage server 40 may request a brokerage fee that brokered the sale of the product to the seller, and accordingly, the central processing unit 31 of the sales server 30 receives a predetermined brokerage fee from the sales. Except for depositing the sales to brokerage brokers (S230-S250).

This invention is capable of various modifications and implementations without departing from the scope of the following claims.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the seller can sell the product to the purchaser not directly connected to the site, the range of the buyer can be increased, thereby improving the sales.

In addition, certain brokers who are affiliated with the seller are assigned an affiliate code, and based on the partner code recorded in the sold product, the sales performance of the broker is calculated. Mediation takes place.

In addition, a buyer can purchase a product from any site without directly accessing the seller, and if a buyer clicks on the product displayed in the broker state, the buyer is directly connected to the seller's product display and purchase page. This eliminates the hassle of clicking multiple pages multiple times.
