The present invention relates to a trading system and method through the Internet.

As the Internet is introduced, various trading systems using the Internet have been proposed and used. By the way, in the case of the Internet trading system according to the prior art, the seller and the buyer are separated separately, and in the case of the general buyer, the seller registration and the product / service registration are very difficult. For example, when a person runs a restaurant, he or she must not only sell food, but also purchase ingredients. At this time, if the person wants to use the Internet trading system according to the prior art, it is inconvenient to register not only as a seller but also as a buyer.

In addition, the Internet trading system according to the prior art does not support all of various products or services. Therefore, the user must find the Internet trading systems supporting the products or services desired by the user, and perform the desired transaction according to the usage of the Internet trading system.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the user can perform both the seller and the buyer role by installing the same client program, and the Internet to enable all transactions to register a variety of goods or services Its purpose is to provide an integrated trading system.

In order to achieve the above objects, the integrated transaction system via the Internet according to the present invention stores list information and client programs including a process definition list, a supply category list and a consumption category list, and stores goods and services from a user computer. A server that registers and manages a user's interest, receives a transaction request from a user computer, and finds a counterpart's user computer to perform a transaction; Internet; And download and install a client program from the server by downloading and installing the client program from the server, downloading the list information at a predetermined interval, and providing a product or service that a user wants to supply to the server through the client program. One or more users who register, register interests of the user with the server based on the consumption category list, and perform transactions through the server when receiving a transaction input from the user or requesting a transaction from another user computer through the server. A user computer configured to include a computer, and having a client program installed therein, having a plurality of process modules, and performing a transaction in a process definition list for a process corresponding to a supply category to which a traded product or service belongs. The process is characterized in that for performing the module.

In order to achieve the above object, the integrated transaction method via the Internet according to the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) defining and storing list information including a process definition list, a supply category list and a consumption category list in the server; (b) a user computer accessing the server to download and install a client program; (c) a user computer downloading list information from the server and displaying a list of supply categories; (d) registering, by the user computer, the product or service with the server such that the product or service information input from the user is included in the supply category selected by the user in the supply category list; (e) the user computer registering the user's interests with the server based on the consumption category list; And (f) when the user selects one of the goods / services belonging to the supply category selected from the supply category list and proceeds with the transaction, the user computer defines a process for a process corresponding to the supply category to which the transaction target product or service belongs. And performing a transaction by performing the process modules defined in the list.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the integrated transaction system through the Internet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to Fig. 1, the integrated transaction system according to the present invention comprises a structure of a server 1 and a client (installation user computer 4 and manager computer 5) via the Internet 2.

The server 1 is a DB (Database) server 11 for storing various information, a web server 12 for homepage, help, client program download and administrator program, and a communication server for temporary storage and information transmission. (13), it comprises a transaction server 14 in charge of the transaction brokerage, including chat consultation. The information stored in the DB server 11 includes general information, member information, process definition list, supply category list, consumption category list, store information, store clerk information, product / service information, region list, term definition list, and process Term information, message information, transaction information, transaction server information, and the like. The server 1 and the user computers 3 and 4 are connected via the Internet 2, and the user computer 3 with no client program installed thereon uses the web browser 30 of its own to access the web server 12. You can download and install the client program by accessing the homepage of. The manager computer 5 also accesses the web server 12 using its own web browser 50, and defines process definitions, supply category definitions, consumption category definitions, and other systems through the manager program included in the web server 12. Perform administrative functions. In the user computer 4 with the client program installed, the client program 40 is executed automatically or manually, and connects with the server 1 to trade goods / services, including store / product / service registration, salesman registration, chat consultation, It performs functions such as sending / receiving advertisement message and sending / receiving short message service (SMS).

FIG. 2A shows, for example, the supply category, process / attributes used in the present invention, and FIG. 2B shows, for example, the consumption category used in the present invention.

Supply categories are hierarchical classifications of goods or services on the supplier side. All goods / services are primarily classified as commodities, food, pets, jobs, job search, reservations, services, etc. Among these products, they are secondarily classified as new goods, used goods, and local specialties. In addition, it can be classified into computers, stationery, books, automobile supplies, and the like, and computers can be classified into desktops, notebooks, PDAs, and the like. In other words, the supply category is a hierarchical classification system of supply targets in terms of suppliers.

Consumption categories, on the other hand, are predefined lists of supply categories that may be of interest to the consumer. For example, a consumption category called 'general' is a category that defines a lot of supply categories required by the company's general manager, such as stationery, flowers, books, food, restaurant reservations, computer repairs, and courier services.

However, the process required for the transaction process for each supply category is not the same. The supply category corresponding to 'goods' requires processes such as ordering, delivery, return and payment to proceed with the transaction, and in detail, the ordering process consists of detailed processes of order application, order cancellation, order rejection and order receipt. In the case of the delivery process, it may be made of a detailed process of delivery instruction and delivery confirmation, in the case of a return process, it may be made of a detailed process of return application and a return confirmation, Can be done. In contrast, the supply category corresponding to 'service' does not require a process related to delivery or return in order to proceed with a transaction, so there is no process related to delivery or return.

As for the attribute of an item, a manufacturer or a model number may exist in a supply category corresponding to a 'product', but an attribute such as a manufacturer or a model number does not exist in a supply category corresponding to 'job' and 'job'.

In the terminology used, an application rather than an order is appropriate when the process corresponding to the order of the product is a restaurant reservation.

Figure 2a is shown in a table by exemplarily categorizing the relationship as described above as goods, food, pets, jobs, job search, reservations, services, and the like. In each supply category of FIG. 2A, a mark means that a corresponding process or a corresponding attribute is included, and an X mark means that a corresponding process or a corresponding attribute is not included. In FIG. 2A, in the case of job search and job search, the types of the configuration processes are the same, but the terms used are different, and thus separate process numbers are assigned. 3 shows a process-specific term table. X in FIG. 3 means that the corresponding term is not used for each process.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the process definition list stored in the DB server 11 includes, for example, the presence or absence of a manufacturer, a model number, a delivery, a return, a purchase confirmation, a payment confirmation, or the like, for each process number. Information about the presence is included. According to Figures 2a and 4a, the 'product sale' process is defined as the number '1', the manufacturer 'yu', model number 'yu', delivery 'yu', return 'yu', purchase confirmation 'yu', deposit It can be defined as 'Yes', 'Food Order' process is defined as '2', Manufacturer 'No', Model Number 'No', Delivery 'Yes', Return 'No', Purchase Confirmation 'No', It can be defined as 'confirmation of deposit'.

Process specific terms may be defined as illustrated in FIG. 4B. In FIG. 4B, the term is not directly defined for each process, only the term number is defined, and the term according to the term number may be provided as separate information such as a term definition list illustrated in FIG. 4C. This is to provide multilanguage or to facilitate customization of terms.

The administrator can define the process by registering the information illustrated in Figs. 4A to 4C through the manager program of the manager computer 5 and the web server 12 according to the process presence or item attribute presence as shown in Fig. 2A. have.

The administrator may define the hierarchical category related to the goods or services through the registration of the supply category information, and the server 1 may generate the supply category list as shown in FIG. 5A. In the supply category list shown in FIG. 5A, the upper category number does not exist in the primary category, and the category below the secondary has the upper category number, thereby enabling multi-level category configuration. In addition, the supply category list includes whether or not the store can be registered and whether the product or service registration is possible, depending on the user's category selection determines whether the store or product / service can be registered.

The administrator defines a category for each consumer sector through registration of consumption category information, and the server 1 may generate a consumption category list as illustrated in FIG. 5B. In addition, the administrator may predefine the necessary matters for system management as shown in FIG. 5C to the server 1 as general information.

Meanwhile, the information stored in the DB server 11 includes member information shown in FIG. 6A, store information shown in FIG. 6B, store clerk information shown in FIG. 6C, product / service information shown in FIG. 7A, and FIG. 8A. Region list shown in FIG. 8, message information shown in FIG. 8B, transaction information shown in FIG. 9A, and transaction server information shown in FIG. 9B.

According to Fig. 10, a user computer 4 having a client program installed therein is typically an information processing apparatus in which a client program 40 is installed and operated on a personal computer. The user computer 4 is functionally provided with a list information management unit 41 and a supply category list display unit 42. ), A product / service display unit 43, a product / service register unit 44, a region of interest register 45, a region register 46, and a transaction performer 47.

The list information management unit 41 downloads and manages list information including a process definition list, a supply category list, a consumption category list, a region list, a term definition list, and the like from the server 1 at predetermined intervals.

The supply category list display unit 42 displays the supply category list managed by the list information management unit 41 on the screen.

The product / service display unit 43 downloads and displays the product / service belonging to the supply category selected from the supply category list from the server 1.

The goods / service registration unit 44 registers with the server 1 such that the goods or services to be supplied by the user are included in the supply category selected from the supply category list.

The interest field register 45 registers the consumption category selected in the consumption category list on the server 1 as the user's interest field.

The area registration unit 46 registers the area selected by the user with the server 1. When the user registers his / her area, the server 1 selects only the goods / services belonging to the registered area when the goods / services are downloaded in response to the supply category selected by the goods / services display unit 43. Only select products / services will be downloaded.

The transaction execution unit 47 includes a plurality of process modules, and performs a transaction by performing process modules defined in a process definition list for a process corresponding to a supply category to which a transaction target product or service belongs when performing a transaction. The transaction execution unit 47 may include a chat consultation processing unit 471 for processing a chat consultation performed by a user with a transaction counterpart. Meanwhile, the transaction server 14 records the contents of the chat counseling between the user and the counterpart of the user's computer, and records the contents by recording a request by the user or the counterpart. Show through the computer.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 11, the integrated transaction process by the integrated transaction system according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, the administrator registers the list information including the process definition list, the supply category list and the consumption category list through the manager program of the manager computer 5 and the web server 12, thereby defining these information in the DB server 11. Save it (S100).

In order to install a client program on a user's own computer, a computer user without a client program may visit the homepage of the web server 12 through the web browser 30 and download and install the client (S110).

After the client program is installed or when the user computer 4 on which the client program is installed is booted, the client program 40 is automatically driven to display a login screen as exemplarily shown in FIG. If the user is a new user, member registration may be performed through a login screen. Figure 6a shows the member information used in one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to be able to give a point to the seller or buyer recommender by inputting the recommender member number at the time of member registration. If the installed client program 40 is set to automatic login, the program proceeds automatically to the login procedure along with driving the program when the computer is booted. When you log in, you can set the login location as your home, work, or other places, but your area or interest at home or work can vary, so it's desirable to configure your local settings or interests according to your location. In addition, when used in other places such as PC room, the user is asked to predict the user's estimated usage time in advance to minimize the case where the user does not log out or end the program. It is a good idea to configure passwords so that they are minimally used by others.

When a user first uses a member after registration, the user computer 4 having the client program installed there downloads and stores a process definition list, a supply category list, a consumption category list, a region list, a term definition list, and other necessary information from the server 1. . Thereafter, the list information management unit 41 of the user computer 4 in which the client program is installed requests the list information from the server at a predetermined cycle, and downloads and manages the changed list information from the server 1 (S120).

When the member user logs in, a summary screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the user computer 4 having the client program installed thereon, and points obtained for the categories belonging to the area of interest and recommended members purchase. Points (Recommended Purchase Points) and Points (Recommended Selling Points) given by the recommended members for sale are displayed in a chart. The user computer 4 installed with the client program may display a main screen, a message screen, or an SMS sending screen as a separate screen through a summary screen, and search for goods / services by logging out or entering a search word through the server 1. You can also do When the sales record is selected in the summary screen, a summary screen displaying sales results as illustrated in FIG. 14 is displayed, and the daily sales amount of the last 10 days and the hourly sales amount of the last 10 hours are displayed in a chart.

When the main screen is selected in the summary screen, the main screen as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 15 is separately displayed, and the user may perform main functions such as registration of goods or services through the main screen.

The supply category is displayed on the left side of the main screen (S130).

If you are a first time user, a pop-up window about selecting a region of interest and a region selection is displayed separately to induce the user to select it. For the user who has already selected, the selection can be changed at the top of the main screen.

If there is a product or service to be sold, the user may first select a region to select and register a category, and then press a 'store registration' or a 'product registration' button to perform store registration or product registration (S140). Similar to the category, 'store' is displayed in the supply category area on the left side of the main screen, and if you want to apply as a cashier to a specific store, you can press the 'register store clerk' button when the store is selected. The member who registers a store has the authority for the store, and can register the clerk for the member who applied for 'the clerk'. The information required for store registration and cashier registration is exemplarily shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, respectively. In addition, necessary information for registering goods or services is exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 7. The information registered by store registration, cashier registration, product or service registration is stored in the DB server 11.

The user may register a field of interest based on the consumption category list. In addition, the user repeatedly selects a category by hierarchy from the supply categories displayed on the screen, selects a category to which the user wants a product or service, and drags the selected category to the area of interest addition at the bottom left of the main screen by using a mouse. By dropping, a category of a field of interest may be added or a desired category may be deleted from the field of interest (S150).

The message screen is displayed by pressing the 'message' button on the summary screen or the main screen.In the message screen, an introduction message about a product or service registered by a member is applied to a member who has registered as a region of interest or a member of a region, or an existing purchasing customer. Can be shipped by. At this time, a point may be presented to the message viewer and a certain rate of shipping fee may be published. The message list shown in FIG. 16 is displayed for the member who has received the message. When a member reads a message, the reward points indicated in the list are given, thereby naturally inducing the user to read the message.

The product that the user wants to purchase from the list of products or services displayed on the main screen may be collected and ordered through a shopping cart. When the user presses the 'buy' button on the main screen of FIG. 15, the product sales or service connection process is performed. At this time, the transaction is performed by performing the process modules defined in the process definition list (S160). According to the process-specific term of FIG. 4B and the term definition list of FIG. 4C, when the term is defined as 'application' rather than 'purchase', the term 'purchase' button is displayed as 'application'. When the 'buy' (or 'apply') button is pressed, a transaction screen as shown in FIG. 17 or 18 is displayed, which is also displayed as screen contents defined according to a process definition list and a term definition list.

If the transaction is not completed, the transaction screen is always displayed, and even if the client program is restarted after it is terminated, the transaction screen is remembered and the transaction screen is displayed again so that even if the transaction takes a long time or the operation of the user's computer is not smooth. It ensures that certain transactions can be made.

So far I looked at the center of the preferred embodiment for the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
