One aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of inputting the information of the goods that the seller wants to sell to the server of the Internet wholesale and retail order brokerage company (hereinafter referred to as "retailer VAN operators") connected to the TCP / IP network; A product purchaser accessing the server through an Internet phone to view information of a product to be purchased; Ordering the goods to be purchased by accessing the goods to the server through the Internet phone; And the server storing the product order information of the product buyer in a storage medium.

1 is a conceptual diagram showing an ordering method using an Internet phone according to an embodiment of the present invention and Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method of ordering using an Internet phone according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the server 120 of the wholesale / retail VAN service provider is connected to the TCP / IP network 140, and the person who wants to sell the product (the product seller 130) may have the server 120 of the wholesale / retail retail VAN service provider. Can be accessed through the TCP / IP network 140.

The server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator may be provided with a page (sales page) for the merchandise seller 130, and the merchandise seller 130 may purchase a product and a unit price of the merchandise to be sold on the sales page. Information, such as an image of a product, can be input. In addition, the input operation may be performed through a personal computer of the merchandise seller 130 connected to the TCP / IP network 140. In response to the input of the product seller, the server 120 of the wholesale / retail retailer VAN operator updates information of currently available products in real time.

The Internet phone converts the voice into a digital signal at the transmitting side and transmits it through the TCP / IP network 140, and at the receiving side, restores the received digital signal to voice to enable voice communication through the TCP / IP network 140. Includes a let phone. In the past, attempts were made to use long-distance or international calls because the Internet phone can significantly reduce call charges. However, in the past, the sound quality was poor and the application was restricted due to legal regulations. However, with the recent increase in the speed of internet and the reduction of legal regulations, internet phone access to the phone is possible without the use of a personal computer. In the present invention, the Internet phone includes not only a call function as a telephone, but also a call function as a telephone, even if the telephone function can be transmitted and received via an Internet connection network of an Internet phone provider such as 070. It may include.

The present invention applied such an Internet phone to the ordering of goods. 1 and 2, a product buyer may access the wholesale and retail VAN operator's server 120 through an Internet phone 110, and may view product information provided by the wholesale and retail VAN operator's server 120. It may be (S110).

The server 120 of the wholesale / retail retailer VAN operator may transmit information of all registered product sellers 130 for a specific product selected by the product buyer to the product buyer, or among the registered product sellers 130 for the specific product. Information of the sellers of goods located in the same area as the buyer or in the area determined to be near by the predetermined criteria may be transmitted to the goods buyer.

In particular, the ordering system provided in the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator may be configured to allow a product buyer to order products very simply. Therefore, the product buyer can order the product very simply through the Internet phone 110 (S120). In particular, the Internet phone 110 transmits the order information to the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator through the TCP / IP network 140.

The Internet phone 110 may include a screen display unit for viewing the product information registered in the server of the wholesale and retail VAN operator, and an input unit for inputting a product number and order quantity. The input may be performed via a telephone number pad, or may be performed via a keypad in addition to a telephone number pad in addition to dedicated product order button (s).

When a product buyer connects to the wholesale and retail VAN operator's server 120 on the Internet phone 110, a menu may be configured on the screen display unit so that the product buyer can view and select the product. For example, the first screen may include a product order, order history inquiry, delivery inquiry, and the like, and when the product order is selected through an input unit, the highest classification of the product may be displayed on the screen display unit.

If a corresponding classification is selected among the top classifications of products, the next higher classification is displayed on the display again, and this process is repeated until the product buyer wants to purchase is displayed. A product buyer may select a product to be displayed when he / she displays it, and input a quantity to purchase to complete a product order.

In this case, the order menu may be configured in a tree structure, and a unique number may be assigned to each product, and a product buyer may input a unique number of the product to display the product on the screen display unit. If the order menu is configured in this way, it can be very useful for wholesale-retail trades, which tend to be ordered repeatedly for the same item.

As described above, after the commodity buyer completes the order of the commodity, payment is made for the commodity (S130). Payment of the product buyer may be made by various means. For example, payment of the product price can be made through a credit card (S131). In this case, a credit card payment terminal may be provided in the Internet phone 110. After the payment is made by credit card using the credit card terminal as described above, the Internet phone 110 transmits the product payment information to the credit card VAN computer network 150 (S133), and the credit card VAN computer network 150 is approved. Determine and transmit to the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator. In addition, the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator may store information received from the credit card VAN computer network 150, in particular, whether the payment is approved or not, in a storage medium so that the seller can read the product (S135).

Here, the credit card VAN computer network 150 is a credit card approval computer network shared by credit card companies, for example, KS-net, KICC, NICE, such as VAN computer network.

The payment for the goods may be made immediately after placing the order, but in some cases, only the order is made through the TCP / IP network 140 and the payment of the goods is made at the same time as the goods are delivered and delivered. It may be. For example, items such as alcoholic beverages can be ordered online, but it is not allowed to order goods and pay for them at the same time, in which case it is inevitable that payments will be made upon delivery and delivery of goods. .

On the other hand, the seller of the product can be paid from the card company after the period of 3 days to 7 days for the price of the goods paid through the credit card. In other words, after three to seven days have passed since the goods seller delivered his goods to the buyer, the goods seller received the payment for the goods through the bank account of the goods seller. Thus, the commodity seller may have difficulty with cash liquidity during this period (hereinafter referred to as the "payment delay period").

Therefore, if the bank which opened the account of the goods seller provides a credit to the goods seller at least during this period, the goods seller can proceed more smoothly. The bank is profitable because it can receive interest for the period during which it is providing the credit. The bank may be notified by the wholesale and retail VAN operator as to whether the merchandise seller has sold the merchandise via card payment. That is, the bank may be notified of the timing and amount of sales of a particular product seller through a credit card payment from the wholesale and retail VAN operator, and may provide a credit to the product seller. Optionally, the wholesale and retail VAN operator may receive a predetermined fee from the bank for the provision of the information.

The bank may give a negative loan with a predetermined amount to the merchandise seller in order to provide a credit. Here, 'minor loan' means a financial product that can freely withdraw and repay a loan for a predetermined period (usually one year) with an upper limit of a predetermined amount. Since the predetermined amount may vary depending on the credit situation of the seller of goods, it is difficult to define uniquely.

The credit may be a mortgage loan or a credit loan instead of a negative loan, wherein the loan period may be provided for a period from the time of payment of the credit card to the time of payment of the credit card. Optionally, the here may be provided only for a period from the time of payment of the credit card to the time of payment of the payment made to the credit card.

In this case, the loan amount is reimbursed as soon as the commodity price is paid from the card company, and the bank may take an interest income on the loan amount in proportion to the loan period.

In addition, the amount of the mortgage loan or credit loan may be at least greater than or equal to the credit card payment amount and less than or equal to the credit limit of the product seller. If the credit card payment amount is higher than the credit limit of the product seller, the credit limit of the product seller may be the amount.

Optionally, the amount of the mortgage or credit loan may be equal to the credit card settlement amount. By doing in this way, unnecessary interest burden of a commodity seller can be avoided.

The payment may be made not only through the credit card, but also by means of payment of goods in real time from the account of the product buyer to the account of the product seller. The means by which payment of the commodity price is performed in real time as described above may be, for example, direct bank account transfer. Alternatively, it may be made through a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and an RFID reading module.

When making a real-time payment using RFID technology, the Internet phone 130 should be provided with an RFID reading module that can read information stored in an RFID tag. In addition, when a product purchaser pays after purchasing a product through the Internet phone 110, his or her personal information and payment information may be brought into close proximity or contact with the RFID reading module of the Internet phone 110. It may be transmitted to the financial computer network 160. The financial computer network 160 having received the personal information and payment information of the product buyer may notify the computer network of each bank so that the price of the product may be transferred from the bank account of the product buyer to the bank account of the product seller in real time. .

The RFID tag may be used for payment when a product is purchased by a product buyer in the form of a card or the like and purchases the product through the Internet phone 110. The RFID tag may record personal information (for example, a resident registration number or a business registration number) and payment information (account number of a bank that can be withdrawn, an official certificate, etc.) of the product buyer.

The RFID reading module can be easily integrated into the Internet phone 110. Therefore, detailed description is omitted here.

The server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator may store payment information in a storage medium for the product seller to read. The product seller may confirm the payment information and deliver the product.

The ordering method and ordering system described above not only enable the buyer of the product to order the product very simply, but also provide a way to secure the cash liquidity of the seller, thus greatly contributing to the development of the distribution industry, especially the wholesale-retail trade. Can be. In the case of the retail business, which mainly sells alcoholic beverages, the business hours are very late, so it is often closed from 12 pm to 4 am. It was not possible to order goods at wholesale. However, using the ordering method and ordering system of the present invention, order information and payment information are stored in the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator, and the merchandise seller orders stored in the server 120 of the wholesale and retail VAN operator during business hours. Confirm the information and payment information and deliver the goods to the buyer of the goods.
