The present invention relates to a commerce method using a peer-to-peer method, and to an electronic commerce method that can be searched quickly and secured in commerce by allowing a search to be performed within a group to which it belongs.

As the use of the Internet increases, electronic commerce is being carried out through the Internet for the transaction of goods or services that were performed offline. Initially, a person who wants to sell a product on a general bulletin board or the like posts information of the product, and a large number of people who have seen this contact the person who wants to sell the product. Since then, home shopping companies have emerged for professional commerce. The home shopping company opened its own homepage and put a photo and information of the product on the homepage to allow a large number of people to buy the product. In addition, a brokerage site that allows a plurality of sellers to register a product and allows a buyer to conduct a transaction after searching for the goods of the sellers was established. However, such a home shopping company has a problem in that a plurality of home shopping must be searched in order to purchase a desired product because only a limited product handled by them is handled.

In addition, there is a problem that a company that wants to sell a small amount of goods is difficult to open the home shopping or sell using a brokerage site because of excessive management costs.

As a solution to such a problem, research on commerce methods using Peer to Peer (Peer to Peer) has been actively conducted. When the concept of P2P is introduced and applied to commerce, it is not necessary for an individual or a group to build a separate shopping mall for the sale of goods.

However, the commerce method using the above P2P has a problem in that a search time for searching for desired product information is lengthened because the search is performed for all connected users. In addition, there is a problem in that false information is provided using anonymity of P2P, which may waste time and money in verifying information.

An object of the present invention is to provide a commerce method using P2P to minimize the search time and to obtain reliable product information to solve the above problems.

The present invention has been made in order to achieve the above object in accordance with the request of the visitor access to the central server provides a member registration form of the visitor and the personal information is stored in the member information database to register as a member Wow; The central server receives a subscription request for a specific group of members subscribed to and notifies the manager of the group, and adds the member's information to the group database linked to the group database according to the consent of the manager of the group to join the group. Joining step; A product registration step of receiving, by the terminal of the member to be traded, the product information and a specific group or group member capable of searching for the product information; A search step in which a terminal of a member to be traded receives information on a product to be traded and a specific group to be searched, and accordingly, the terminal queries the terminal information of the group member to receive information and displays a response. Wow; The terminal which has searched transmits the trading doctor to the terminal holding the product information at the request of the member. The terminal receiving the trading doctor displays the trading intention to the user and receives the user's response. A trading step in which a transaction is made by transmitting the response to a terminal; The technical gist of the commerce method using a peer-to-peer method, characterized in that it is configured to include.

Preferably, the searching step includes a connection step of connecting a terminal to an access server providing information of another connected terminal; A search word input step in which the terminal receives a group and a product to be searched for; A group searching step of the terminal searching for the group member of the group input in the search word input step in the group database of the central server and searching for the group member being accessed from the information of the terminal stored in the access server; And a query response step in which the terminal queries the information of the product to the terminal of the connected group member searched in the group search step and displays the received information.

Preferably, the group is configured to form a hierarchical tree structure centering on the group leader, and the upper group member is set to control the authority of the group member located below it.

Preferably, the group is characterized in that a plurality of small groups are formed hierarchically therein.

The present invention can be seen that the object of the present invention is to provide a commerce method that can shorten the search time and easily obtain reliable product information. To this end, the present invention is configured to allow a member to join at least one or more groups and perform a search for a product within the subscribed group in performing commerce using a peer-to-peer method. This is because the search time is reduced by searching within a specific group without searching the information of all members, and because the search and sale are performed within the group to which they subscribe, the product information can be trusted.

Hereinafter, a commerce method using a peer-to-peer method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The commerce method using the peer-to-peer method of the present invention can be largely divided into a membership registration step, a group subscription step, a product registration step, a search step, and a trading step. In this case, the search step includes a connection step, a search word input step, a group search step, and a question and answer step.

First, the membership registration step will be described. In the signing up step, a person who wants to use the commerce method accesses the central server 10 using the terminal 40 and inputs personal information requested by the central server 10 to register as a member. to be. To this end, the central server 10 is provided with a member information database (20). The member information database 20 generally stores a member's unique number together with personal information (eg, name, resident registration number, address, telephone number, etc.) input during membership registration. The member's unique number is used to identify the member and uses the ID or random number generated by the central server 10 when the member registers.

Next, the group joining step will be described. The group joining step is a step in which a member who joined in the joining step applies for a group subscription to belong to a specific group, and then the manager of the group joins the group member of the group.

The group can be created by any member and the group created by the member is stored in the group database 30 on the central server 10 side. The group database 30 stores a name of each group, a group leader, and a list of group members (name, ID, etc.). Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the group may have a hierarchical structure including a plurality of small groups by manufacturers and engine sizes in a group for selling and selling automobiles. When the group is created as described above, members in interested fields, such as meetings for buying and selling cars, real estate brokerage groups interested in a specific region, and meetings for electronic components, provide information to each other. Can be obtained.

In the present invention, since the group members form a hierarchical tree structure centering on the group leader as shown in FIG. 3, the group database 30 is stored to identify the upper group members and the lower group members according to the tree structure. .

However, instead of storing the tree structure in the group database 30 as described above, the member information database 20 stores a list of the groups subscribed to by the member and displays their upper group members or lower group members in each list. It is also possible to construct.

Here, the upper group member can set the authority of the lower group member. That is, the upper group member 1 may set whether the lower group member (2, 3, 21, 31, etc.) has access to the information that can be searched by the provider of the information or the hierarchy of the information provider. have. Therefore, the lower group member can search for information provided by another group member only when the upper group member has permission. In particular, group heads can set access rights for members belonging to their groups for each small group in the group.

Therefore, the member designates his / her higher group member when joining the group and applies for subscription. The subscription request is configured to be delivered to the designated upper group member and group members higher than the designated upper group member to determine whether to join.

Next, the product registration step will be described. A member registers information on a product or service that he / she wants to sell or purchase in his terminal 60. The member inputs a product name and standard, an expected price, a delivery method, a payment method, and the like into the terminal 60 and the terminal stores the product information in the database 61. At this time, the member may restrict the search by designating a group accessible within the information of the product or a group member within a specific group.

Next, the search step will be described. In the searching step, when a member selects and inputs information (product name, standard, etc.) of a product and a group to be searched in his terminal 40 to search for a desired product, the terminal is connected to a terminal of another member connected to the Internet. Querying to obtain product information. First, when the member inputs the product information and the group, the terminal 40 accesses the central server 10 to search for group members belonging to the group. The central server 10 provides a unique number of group members to the terminal side, and the access server having the unique number is identified by the access server 50 connected to the terminal. Thereafter, the terminal 40 receives IP information of the terminal 60 of the visitor from the access server 50 and then accesses the terminal 60 of the visitor to query the product information. The terminal 60 of the visitor transmits a response to the query when the user of the terminal 40 which has inquired the query is registered to be accessible after checking whether the user of the terminal 40 who has made the query is the accessible group or group member set in the product registration step. And the terminal 40 of the member who received this will display the information.

When the member wants more detailed information, the member selects some of the product information provided by the plurality of access terminal 60 and requests and receives more detailed information.

Here, the central server 10 provides the unique number of the group member to the terminal side, and instead of configuring the unique number to be found in the access server 50, the central server 10 when the terminal accesses the access server 50. 10) may provide the information of the terminal to be stored in the central server 10 and configured to provide the information of the terminal directly from the central server 10 during the search.

Next, the trading stage will be described. In the selling step, the member delivers a message to a trading subject through a terminal to sell the product searched in the searching step, or searches for the contact information of the trading subject in the central server 10 and then contacts the trading unit to make a selling. to be. When the member wants to purchase an item, when the purchase request is input to the terminal 40, the terminal 40 transmits the purchase request to the terminal 60 of the transaction target and the transaction is made when the transaction target is approved. . Thereafter, when the member transfers to the account number presented by the transaction target or pays a credit card and notifies the transaction target to the terminal, the member sends the goods after entering the transaction and configures the member so that the member can check the transaction. do.

At this time, for a more reliable transaction, the member deposits to a specific company, and the company notifies the transaction object of the deposit. Accordingly, the transaction object delivers the product to the member and after the receipt of the member is confirmed, the company contacts the transaction object. It is also possible to configure the remittance.

Hereinafter will be described the operation and effect of the commerce method using a peer-to-peer method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The management company to provide a commerce method using the peer-to-peer method is provided with a central server 10 to manage the member information and group information. The central server 10 is preferably provided with a web server so that people who want to join the member can easily access.

In addition, the management company is provided with at least one access server 50 for managing the terminal information of the visitor. The access server 50 is configured to store information (IP address, unique number of the user) and the like of the connected terminal and provide the information to the other terminal side connected to the access server 50. Instead of providing the access server 50 at the management company, the terminal of members may be configured to be used as the access server 50.

When the central server 10 and the access server 50 is provided as described above, a person who wants to join as a member accesses the central server 10 to enter personal information and register as a member. At this time, the central server 10 joins the member to the basic group. Thereafter, the member downloads and installs a peer-to-peer program from the central server 10.

The member searches for groups registered in the central server 10, selects a car sales group and a household goods group of interest, and then applies for subscription to the group head or group member of the two groups. When the group leader approves the member's subscription request, the member is registered as a member of the group and registered in the group database 30 of the central server 10.

Thereafter, when a member wants to sell a product, he / she registers a product he wants to sell on his terminal and designates a group or a member who can access the product. Here, if the member does not designate a group separately, the product information is provided to the group members of all the groups to which the member has joined. At this time, the product information is provided only when the member accesses the terminal to the access server 50.

In addition, when a member wants to purchase a car, the terminal is first connected to the access server 50 to transmit information of his terminal. This is to allow other members to recognize and access the terminal. If the terminal requests the search by inputting the information of the car such as the desired vehicle type or the size of the engine and the small group to be searched, the terminal accesses the central server 10 and receives the group member information of the group. In the connected access server 50, it is determined whether the corresponding group member exists. Thereafter, the terminal of the group member is inquired about the goods, and the terminal of the group member provides brief product information in response to the inquiry. A terminal of a member who has received information from a plurality of terminals displays the information and requests detailed information from the terminal of the group member when the member selects one of them and requests more detailed information.

When the member wants to purchase the product, the member transmits a purchase intention through the terminal, and when the transaction object providing the product is accepted, the member transfers the money to the management company. When the management company notifies the transaction object that the payment has been received, the transaction object delivers the goods, and when the member confirms receipt of the product, the management company remits the payment to the transaction object and the transaction is performed.

As described above, according to the commerce method using P2P according to an embodiment of the present invention, since a search is performed within a designated group, the search time is minimized and reliable product information can be obtained.
