Description

System and method for electronic shopping foods in the street market through the internet}

The present invention introduces a system that can conveniently purchase ingredients through the Internet for consumers who prefer fresh foods in the traditional market but do not have time to shop while selling their products. It relates to a food shopping system and method in a traditional market using the Internet, characterized in that it is possible to conveniently purchase a cold set, a general meal, and a healthy meal using the Internet.

Compared to department stores and large discount stores, traditional markets can feel the smell of ordinary people, have fun bargaining about the price of goods, and when it comes to the quality of products, foodstuffs such as agricultural and livestock products are very fresh, and the origin can be easily identified. There is an advantage. In addition, the amount of purchase can be as small as desired, which can reduce food waste and minimize costs compared to purchasing in large quantities in department stores or marts. And once you become a regular, you can form a bond with the owner of the store, which has the advantage that consumers can buy with confidence in quality and price. However, the space in the market is small and many people come and go, it is very crowded, and there is no convenient facilities such as restrooms and rest rooms, which makes the shopping experience inferior. You have to carry a lot of cash in order to avoid it, and when you buy heavy goods because it is not delivered, you have to come home with it.

On the other hand, as the number of nuclear families and single households increases, the frequency of meals at home is decreasing. As a result, housewives have to pay more attention to the diet and ingredients related to the food they eat at home. As the family enters society, housewives are less concerned about family meals than in the past. Therefore, it is important for housewives to design a diet in which they can evenly eat the nutrients necessary to keep the family healthy. In addition, it is practically difficult because information is not enough and a lot of time and effort is required to purchase a proper amount of ingredients necessary for food through a designed diet. Therefore, while most housewives eat in large quantities at department stores or supermarkets in weekly or ten-day periods, they are cooked while storing them in the refrigerator. Unnecessary efforts and expenses for storage, waste disposal of food leftovers and processed foods are inevitably experienced.

As a means to solve this problem, there is an increasing number of applications for a system and method for providing a diet using the Internet. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-90388 relates to a device and method for supporting a diet using the Internet, and describes a service provider supporting a diet between a user (consumer) and a producer through the Internet. The service provider includes an arbiter for exchanging information with a plurality of users and producers; A storage unit for storing user and producer information; A diet generator; A material calculation unit; It is composed of a control unit, based on the information of the user entered through the mediator, the diet generation unit generates a suitable diet for the member and the ingredients constituting the diet, and the material calculation unit the amount and sales price of the material generated in the diet generation unit It is responsible for calculating the back. The control unit manages and controls the entire system. However, since the system and method of purchasing food ingredients are limited to food distribution companies, supermarkets, discount marts, department stores, food stores, and the like, there is a disadvantage that consumers who prefer traditional markets cannot use them. In addition, since the origin of the food can not be confirmed at all, it is difficult for consumers who prefer domestically to accept it. On the other hand, due to the nature of food ingredients, the speed of delivery is a problem, there is no technical configuration that can secure a fast delivery at all. In addition, since consumers must enter their personal information, such as food preferences, living environment, family relationships, medical history, etc., personal privacy may be exposed, and only the provision of a diet is required. There is a disadvantage to learn separately.

Another invention is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 20001-98206, which relates to a network-based diet providing system. The invention is a server computer; Distribution network server; It consists of user's computer, and when user inputs personal information such as his physical condition, health condition, medical history, gender, constitution through interface of server computer, he can be provided with a diet containing appropriate nutrients according to criteria. When ordering food and / or ingredients made of the elements configured in the distribution is characterized in that it can be delivered through the server.

However, in the present invention, there is a problem in that the user must input his or her personal information, that is, sensitive information such as personal information, especially a medical history. In addition, diet information can be provided, but it is not provided with a recipe to cook it, which has the disadvantage of having to learn a recipe separately. In addition, there is a disadvantage in that the purchase quantity of goods in order to ensure the minimum shipping margin in order to secure a large amount, and the quality of the material can not be confirmed, consumers who want fresh goods are forced to ignore it.

In order to solve such inconveniences, the present invention provides a recipe such as a general diet, a cold street set, and a healthy diet using cheap and fresh ingredients of the traditional market through the Internet, and provides a recipe to solve the consumers' worry about the recipe separately. It allows customers to purchase as much as they want, and delivers quickly and accurately in delivery, combining the advantages of traditional markets with the advantages of e-commerce, enabling consumers to experience the shopping effects of traditional markets in the home. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food shopping system and method in a conventional market using the Internet.

In order to achieve the above object, the food shopping system system in the traditional market using the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention a plurality of input information such as the date of receipt of the ingredients, freshness, sale price, availability or minimum sales amount Shop terminal 100; Store DB (300) that stores store information, recipe DB (400) that stores information on various recipes, diet DB (500) that stores cold food sets, general diets, and healthy diets designed by nutritionists. Control means 201 for controlling the respective DBs and the input and output unit 202 providing an interface with a website or a store or a consumer to help consumers select food ingredients by extracting and providing a suitable diet from the diet DB. And the delivery instruction means 203 for instructing the delivery of the selected food ingredients and notifying the result to the control means, and the payment means 204 for performing payment such as credit card, real time account transfer, payment using a traditional market gift certificate. Configured operator server 200; And the consumer terminal 600 that can access the operator server to search for a desired diet and order the corresponding ingredients as desired; It is characterized in that the configuration.

Shops of the traditional market input the information on the fresh ingredients obtained every day through the store terminal 100, that is, the date of receipt, freshness, sale price, availability, minimum sales volume to the operator server 200 When transmitted, it is input to the store DB 300 through the control means. The website of the operator server 200 helps consumers purchase food by configuring and presenting an appropriate diet, that is, a cold set and a general diet, based on the food information obtained through the store terminal 100. Meanwhile, the dietary diet designed by the dietitian is prepared in advance and stored in the diet DB 500, and is provided appropriately for the current time on the website through the control unit 201. For example, it is possible to provide a diet to remove toxins in the body when food poisoning increases in summer, and to provide a healthy diet to maintain healthy hair in the season of hair loss in autumn, and to increase atopic patients due to environmental pollution. If so, it is configured to extract and provide the appropriate diet. In addition, the website provides food information and restaurant information of a specific traditional market. This is a feature not available in department stores or large marts. For food information, for example, in the coastal fisheries market, information on specific fisheries can be provided, and highland vegetables that can be purchased earlier than in season in inland mountains. Information regarding the like may be provided. In addition, in the case of restaurant information, an introduction and video information about a specific business are provided on the main screen.

The consumer accesses the operator server 200 through the consumer terminal 600, retrieves the food information posted on the website, selects a desired diet, and orders the desired quantity. At this time, the consumer can purchase a small amount of meals as much as one meal, preferably on a family basis of four people as desired quantity. This is one of the most important features of the present invention, on the basis of the information on the minimum sales amount of the food material input from the shop terminal 100 will be packaged only the purchase amount of the food material of the desired diet in the control means 201. . For example, if a consumer purchases ingredients necessary for fried octopus, one octopus, onion, carrot, zucchini, green peppers, one green onion, three green peppers, etc. are required on a four-person basis. If you select the standard diet for four octopus fried to visit the window is activated on the website so that you can purchase only the amount described above. On the other hand, when using other websites or shopping malls, the main material must be purchased and the remaining necessary materials must be purchased in large quantities. In addition, the minimum purchase amount is determined, such as a large amount of purchase of a weekly diet package, there is an inconvenience to buy more than the desired amount of ingredients.

Another feature of the present invention may be referred to as prompt delivery. Unlike large shopping malls that are shipped within the next day or three days, the present invention can benefit from fast and accurate delivery service because consumers use the nearest local market in their area of residence. This may be achieved through a process of checking whether or not it is possible to deliver from the store terminal 100, and specifically, the information input from the store terminal 100, that is, the receipt date, the freshness, the selling price, the sellability, the minimum selling amount. On the basis of the control means 201 checks whether or not each store can be delivered to deliver the delivery instruction to the delivery instruction means 203 to deliver within the closest time to the ordered time. Then, the delivery instructing means 203 encourages the actual delivery, and after the completion of the delivery, the result of whether or not to collect the report to the control means 201, and notifies the consumer of the delivery progress via SMS text message.

In the payment of payment, in principle, the amount of goods paid by the consumer should be deposited in each store, which may be settled after a credit transaction in real time or for a certain period of time. In the case of real-time payment, the cash flow is smooth in the store, but the small amount of sales is the principle, so the fee burden is not real. To this end, the usual payment means used in general online shopping malls such as real time account transfer, credit card payment, mobile phone payment, point payment or payment using a traditional market gift certificate may be variously used.

In particular, in the payment method using the traditional market gift certificate, the consumer accesses the operator server 100 using the consumer terminal 600 and inputs the unique number of the conventional market gift certificate possessed by the payment means (204). This is done through a payment system, which, if used properly, can have the effect of activating the distribution of conventional market vouchers.

 The payment means and method described above are preferably selected by the operator according to the market situation, the payment amount and the like.

The present invention has the following effects.

First, if housewives who prefer traditional markets and are interested in health and who are in charge of the home's diet can't see the market by selling their own products, they can conveniently view the market through the Internet.

Second, it can provide health diets to customers who are interested in health.

Third, by providing customers with fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared in a convenient way, they can receive cheap and high-quality fresh ingredients at the time they want.

Fourth, to help consumers who do not know how to cook easily.

Fifth, while providing information on well-being and health through the website, it is possible to provide customized diet information according to personal health status and other regional specialties that can be supplied in other traditional markets.

Sixth, since consumers can receive as much food as they want in the shortest time, there is an effect that they can buy high quality foods at a low cost. In the present invention, a system that can sell high quality ingredients in a minimum quantity through continuous networking with stores in the traditional market has to purchase a one-week diet at a time or purchase too many unwanted corrosion materials. It is different from other sites. In addition, since customers use the traditional market close to their homes, they can receive the ingredients ordered later than half a day later.

Seventh, by constructing shopping malls for small traditional market merchants who cannot build their own websites, they can greatly contribute to improving the sales of the traditional market and activating the traditional market. It can contribute to the birth of the second and third traditional market integrated shopping malls selling goods.
