The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing a partial payment in electronic commerce using the Internet. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of providing a partial payment, and more specifically, to use a plurality of payment methods to perform a payment or cancel a partial payment, change a payment method, or replace a product. A method and system can be simplified.

Today, the rapid development of communication networks and computers, such as the Internet, has made many changes in the traditional way of commerce. E-commerce using the Internet and computer systems is actively progressing away from the way buyers come to the stores to actually check and purchase the goods.

1 is a diagram illustrating a network for performing e-commerce using the Internet. As shown in FIG. 1, a seller provides information on a plurality of products to a customer through server computers 140 and 150, and the customer uses terminals 110, 120, and 130 such as a PC, a mobile phone, and a PDA. By accessing the shopping mall server computer through a communication network such as the Internet to collect or view information about the product. The purchase request for the product and the payment process are also performed through the Internet and the servers 140 and 160.

As the e-commerce using the Internet has become active, the types of goods traded, such as books, home appliances, clothing, movie tickets, and records, are also diversifying, and the amount of transactions is increasing rapidly. In addition, the amount of payments that customers make at one time has increased.

Until now, a variety of methods such as cash payment, credit card payment and mobile phone payment have been provided as a payment method used in electronic commerce. Conventional payment methods allow a user to select one payment method and perform payment based on the selected payment method.

However, when a user wants to perform a payment in parallel with a cash or credit card, a conventional payment method has a disadvantage in that two or more payment methods cannot be mixed.

In addition, if you purchase an expensive product and want to pay using a credit card, if the payment amount exceeds the credit card payment limit, there is a problem that payment by credit card is impossible and payment must be made in cash.

In addition, in the case of a product that continuously provides a service for a predetermined contract period, it is impossible to cancel the payment only for the remaining period except the payment amount for the sale period in refunding the purchase cancellation occurring during the contract period. In other words, there was a problem in that the payment for the entire contract period already paid was canceled and additional payment was required for the payment amount in the sales period.

Another problem is that when a user first completes a payment for a specific product with a credit card and wants to replace the specific product with another product for some reason, the user cancels the credit card payment already completed and pays for the newly replaced product. There was a hassle to perform separately. Even in this case, the payment process can be further simplified if the additional payment or cancellation can be made only for the difference between the price of the first purchase and the later purchase.

In addition, if the payment is already completed using a predetermined payment method, and the payment method is later changed to another, there is a problem that a new payment method must be newly performed after the cancellation of the payment by the first payment method.

Therefore, the emergence of a new payment method and system that can significantly improve the payment method in the electronic commerce using the Internet has become necessary.

An object of the present invention is to provide a user with a variety of payment means in electronic commerce using the Internet.

Another object of the present invention is to enable credit card payment even if the amount of payment exceeds the credit card limit.

Still another object of the present invention is to allow a payment cancellation for only some payments, thereby facilitating a refund process.

Still another object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily perform payment for a difference in payment amount due to replacement of a purchased product.

It is yet another object of the present invention to ultimately activate electronic commerce over the Internet.

According to an aspect of the invention, the step of receiving product purchase request information from the user, in response to receiving the product purchase request information, transmitting the purchase history information associated with the product to the user, a plurality of payment means Transmitting payment means information including the payment information to the user, receiving selection information regarding at least two payment means from the user, performing a partial payment based on the selection information, and And transmitting the payment request result information to the user, and transmitting the sales request information about the product based on the payment performance result information. Is provided.

According to another aspect of the invention, receiving the product purchase request information from the user, in response to receiving the product purchase request information, transmitting the purchase history information associated with the product to the user, and Performing a payment, receiving purchase cancellation information from the user, determining a refund amount in consideration of the purchase history information, and performing a partial payment cancellation in association with the refund amount There is provided a method of providing a partial payment in an electronic commerce using the Internet.

Hereinafter, a method and a system for providing a partial payment in an electronic commerce using the Internet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a partial payment in an electronic commerce using the Internet according to the present invention. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 2, the processes performed in each step will be described in detail.

First, in step S210 to receive the product purchase request information from the user. According to the present invention, a variety of product information is provided to a user in an internet shopping mall, and the user can indicate a purchase intention by transmitting purchase request information for a desired product based on the product information.

The product purchase request information may include identification information (product name) of the product that the user wants to purchase, and may further include personal information (name, social security number, address, etc.) of the user. In one embodiment, when receiving the log-in information (for example, ID and password) from the user in order to purchase the product, and completes the log-in process to enable the user to participate in the purchase process For example, the process of receiving separate personal information as the product purchase request information may be omitted.

Next, in step S220, in response to the product purchase request received in step S210, the purchase history information associated with the product is transmitted to the user.

The purchase history information may include information such as a purchase date, a product name, a payment amount, and a purchase detail. 3 illustrates an example of a purchase history information screen transmitted to a user in a "keyword" product that provides keyword advertisements associated with search results of a search engine, according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to the type of the product, the purchase history information may further include various types of information. In the case of a product that continuously provides a service for a predetermined contract period, the term "contract period" (in FIG. Period of the advertisement) may be included. In addition, the purchase history information may further include a purchase cancellation requirement, refund information (cancellation fee when canceling a purchase) when canceling a purchase.

In step S230, payment means information including a plurality of payment means is transmitted to the user.

According to the present invention, various payment means are provided to the user, and the user can freely select a desired payment means from the plurality of payment means.

As an example of a payment means, it may include at least one of cash payment, credit card payment, mobile phone payment which is the most used payment method in today's e-commerce. The term "plural payment means" according to the present invention may include a plurality of different payment means such as cash and credit card, etc., and may also include a plurality of different credit cards (for example, credit cards having different credit card numbers). It is also interpreted to include credit card payment means through.

4A illustrates an example of a payment means information screen provided to a user. Figure 4a shows an example of a credit card + credit card, credit card + cash deposit, in addition, it is possible to provide a variety of payment methods such as credit card + credit card + credit card, credit card + credit card + cash. .

4B illustrates another example of the payment means information screen. As shown in FIG. 4B, the payment means information may further display not only the type of payment means but also the amount of payment and the remaining payment amount so far.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to make a partial payment through multiple credit cards, so that the payment limit of the credit card is increased, resulting in the purchase of a large amount of goods exceeding the payment limit for one credit card. The inconvenience of not being able to pay the card and only paying by cash is avoided. For example, using three credit cards, each with a payment limit of 6 million won, can achieve an effect of extending the payment limit up to 18 million won.

In step S240, the user receives selection information about the payment method. For the partial payment, the user selects at least two payment methods and transmits the selection information as a result of the selection. The selection information includes information on the type of payment means selected by the user.

As an example according to the present invention, the number of credit cards selected by a plurality of payment means from the user can be limited to a predetermined number or less (for example, 5 or less). This is to prevent a malicious user from deliberately causing a delay in the payment process by selecting a malicious user to perform a partial payment using too many credit cards.

Next, in step S250, the partial payment is performed based on the selection information received in step S240. In this step, payment for two or more payment methods selected by the user may be performed sequentially.

In the case where the credit card is included in the payment means of the user inputted selection information, the step of performing a partial payment may include receiving credit card information including a card type, a credit card number, and an expiration date from the user; The method may further include transmitting the credit card information to a credit card company server and requesting a payment approval. 5A illustrates an example of a screen for receiving credit card information from a user.

In addition, when the payment means of the selection information input by the user includes cash payment, the step of performing a partial payment, the step of transmitting the deposit account information including the deposit account number and the account holder to the user, and the deposit account Confirming the deposit associated with may further include. As an example, deposit confirmation information may be received to confirm the deposit. 5B illustrates an example of a screen for transmitting the deposit account information to the user.

As an example of a deposit account for cash payment, a virtual account may be used. The virtual account is given a different account number every time the cash is settled, and has information about the amount of payment in advance. Therefore, even if the user overpays or less than the payment amount, the deposit confirmation can be more easily performed.

In operation S260, payment performance result information regarding the divisional payment performance of operation S250 is transmitted to the user.

As an example of the payment result information, when the payment is successfully completed by receiving the payment approval upon payment through the credit card, or when the payment confirmation information is received during the cash payment, information indicating the payment completion may be received. On the contrary, when a credit card payment is not received, information indicating a payment failure may be received. 6A and 6B illustrate examples of screens that provide payment performance result information regarding payment success and payment failure, respectively.

Finally, in step S270, the sales request information is transmitted based on the payment performance result information. When the payment is successfully completed, the product is requested to be sold, and sales request information for this may be transmitted. The sales request information may include information such as identification information (product name), product details, and user information about the product. Only when such sales request information is transmitted can it be seen that the product is actually provided to the user. Therefore, the goods are actually delivered to the user or the service is actually provided to the user through the transmission of the sales request information.

As an example of the present invention, the partial payment providing method using the Internet according to the present invention may be characterized in that the partial payment is allowed only when the payment amount is more than a predetermined reference value. In other words, even if the payment amount is too small, if the partial payment is allowed, this is undesirable because it takes a lot of effort and time in the payment process to the shopping mall operator. Therefore, the partial payment is allowed only when the payment amount exceeds a predetermined reference value, thereby preventing the inefficient payment process in advance.

As another example according to the present invention, when the selection information for the plurality of payment means received from the user includes cash payment, the sales request information after the receipt from the user is confirmed as being completed (receipt of the payment confirmation information). It is desirable to send it. This is because, unlike credit card payment, payment can be regarded as successful only when the payment is completed.

The present invention implements a new technical idea different from the conventional one in providing a partial payment using a plurality of payment means due to the creation, modification and modification of a transaction table using the introduction of session variables.                     

Hereinafter, the variation of the transaction table using the session variable will be described in detail.

Every time a payment process is performed in the Internet shopping mall, information about the payment process is stored and maintained in a transaction table. The transaction table adds entry information each time a payment is made, and each entry information includes a payment order number, a payment product detail indicator key, a payment amount information, a payment status indicator key, a payment order, and a partial payment count. May contain information. The payment order number means a mark key for recognizing the credit card company's approval details, and the payment item detail mark key is a mark key for linking a payment product detail table including detailed information on the paid product. Means. The payment status marker key indicates the status of the payment process, which can be any of the following states: "Received Payment", "Refund Requested", "Refund Completed", "Cancel Request", "Cancel Completed", "Cash Deposit Agreement" It can contain one state.

In addition, a payment product detail table exists for each product, and payment details are stored for each product purchased by the user. 7 shows an example of a payment product details table. As shown in FIG. 7, the payment product details table may include a payment product details marker key, product information, price information, and information about a contract state. The product information includes a product name, a contract period, a product type, and the like. The price information includes information on an original product price, a selling price, a discounted price, and the like. It may contain information about.                     

The conventional payment method directly enters a post value from the previous page into a transaction table and a payment product details table in a series of page screens provided in the payment process. Therefore, when the payment is successful, the information related to the payment is input to the transaction table and the payment product description table at the same time, thereby ensuring the integrity between the transaction and the payment product details.

That is, in the conventional case, once the information is entered into the transaction table, there is no further information change. Therefore, if payment contents such as payment cancellation (refund), payment method change, product replacement, and tying change, etc. with respect to the payment already made, a new method can be entered in association with the existing payment information already entered in the transaction table. There will be no.

However, according to the present invention, it is possible to freely change the information of the transaction table by using the session variable.

A session variable is a value that is temporarily stored in an Internet shopping mall management server and is always maintained in the same window window while the connection between the server and the web browser on the user's terminal is maintained. Since the user's web browser is always maintained when the payment process is performed, the present invention temporarily transfers the payment product details marker key to the Internet shopping mall operation server using a session variable when inputting the product details into the payment product details table upon successful payment of the divided payment. Save as.

Therefore, in the subsequent partial payment, it is determined whether the stored payment product details marker key exists using the session variable in the internet shopping mall server, and the payment product details table when the payment product details marker key already exists in the internet shopping mall server. Do not enter payment information in. As a result, it is possible to prevent the input of duplicate products even in the case of split payment, and to prevent duplicate payment by using the characteristic of the session variable as the unique key.

Let's take a look at the variation of the transaction table in the split payment. 8A to 8D show changes in a transaction table in each partial payment step in the case where a predetermined product is purchased and the partial payment is made by dividing the payment amount of 2 million won into four times. Each time a partial payment succeeds, a new entry is created in the transaction table, increasing the payment order by one. When the payment is successful and the increased payment order value finally matches 4, the total number of partial payments, the entire payment is considered to be closed.

In the above embodiments, a process of allowing a user to make a payment by dividing a payment amount using a plurality of payment means has been described in detail. The divisional payment method according to the present invention provides various embodiments in addition to the provision of the plurality of payment means, cancellation of some payments, additional payment when a product is replaced, and change of the payment means. Hereinafter, the remaining embodiments of the partial payment will be described in detail.

As another example according to the present invention, in the case of receiving a purchase cancellation request from the user and refunding the payment amount for the purchase cancellation, partial payment cancellation may be performed.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a partial payment for canceling a partial payment when a purchase cancellation request is made according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the processes performed in each step will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 9.                     

First, in step S910, product purchase request information is received from a user, and in step S920, purchase history information associated with the product is transmitted to the user in response to receiving the product purchase request information. Receipt of the purchase request information and transmission of the purchase history information have been described in detail in steps S210 and S220 of FIG. 2, and may be applied to steps S910 and S920 of FIG. 9 as it is.

Next, in step S930, payment for the product is performed. In order to perform payment, payment means information including one or more payment means may be transmitted, and a payment process is performed using the payment means. Performing payment in this step includes a process of generating a transaction table, and a detailed description thereof has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S940, purchase cancellation information is received from the user. The user can freely indicate the intention to cancel the purchase by transmitting the purchase cancellation information even for the product for which payment has been completed. The purchase cancellation information may further include purchase information (purchase date and time, payment amount) in addition to the identification information (product name) of the product.

In step S950, in response to the purchase cancellation, a refund amount to be refunded to the user is determined. As an example of determining the refund amount, the purchase history information sent to the user in step S920 may be considered. The purchase history information may include a purchase date and time, a payment amount, a contract period, a purchase cancellation requirement, and refund information when the purchase is canceled, and the refund amount may be determined in consideration of the purchase history information.                     

As an example, if the sale is a one-time product (for example, the sale of home appliances), the refund amount may be the same as the initial payment amount or deducted a predetermined cancellation fee.

On the other hand, in the case of a product that is sold continuously for a predetermined contract period (for example, a keyword product that provides keyword ads), the refund amount is deducted from the sales amount for the period before the sale begins and before the purchase cancellation request is made. It would be more desirable to calculate. For example, if you received a total payment of $ 900,000 for a keyword ad over a three-month contract period and received a request to cancel the purchase only one month after the ad began, the refund amount is determined to be $ 600. As a result, it is possible to determine the refund amount of 570,000 won after deducting the cancellation fee of 30,000 won. As such, in this step, the refund amount may be determined in consideration of the purchase history information.

As an example, the step may include determining a refund amount, and generating and transmitting the refund information associated with the refund amount to the user. The refund information may include a refund amount, information on a refund method, and the like.

In step S960, some payment cancellation is performed in association with the refund amount.

In order to cancel the payment, an authorization cancellation request may be performed for a credit card payment and a virtual account issuance cancellation request may be performed for a cash payment.

In the partial payment providing method according to the present invention, it is possible to perform partial payment cancellation in which payment is canceled only for a partial payment amount when the payment is canceled. If payment is made using a plurality of payment means, in consideration of the payment amount for each of the payment means, a payment method to be canceled is first selected and a partial payment cancellation of the selected payment means may be selectively performed. Can be.

Performing some payment cancellation involves changing the transaction table. Hereinafter, the transaction table will be described in detail. FIG. 10 illustrates a change in a transaction table when a payment amount of KRW 900,000 is determined as a refund amount of KRW 600,000 and a partial cancellation of payment for the refund amount is performed. As shown in FIG. 10, a new entry for a payment amount of -600,000 won is created in the transaction table, causing a change in the transaction table for some payment cancellations. As an example, as a new entry for the negative settlement amount (the amount to be canceled) is entered into the transaction table, the settlement order is increased to " 5 ", and there is no change in the number of divided payments. In addition, the payment status indicator key of the entry for the negative payment amount is changed to "cancellation request status", and when the payment cancellation is completed, the payment status indicator key for the added negative payment amount entry is changed to "cancellation completion status".

As another example according to the present invention, the additional payment can be easily performed by applying the divided payment method according to the present invention even when replacing the goods.

That is, when the payment for the first predetermined product is completed with a credit card and the user wants to replace the predetermined product with another product for some reason, the first purchased product (hereinafter referred to as "initial purchase product") Rather than canceling a payment and making a new payment for a new product (hereinafter referred to as "change purchase"), you may only make additional payments or cancel additional payments for the price difference between the initial purchase and the change purchase. If you do, the payment process can be simplified.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a partial payment for additional payment when a product is replaced according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the processes performed in each step will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 11.

First, in step S1110, the purchase request information for the initial purchase product is received from the user, and in step S1120, the purchase history information associated with the initial purchase product is transmitted to the user in response to receiving the purchase request information. do. Receipt of the purchase request information and transmission of the purchase history information have been described in detail in steps S210 and S220 of FIG. 2, and may be applied to steps S1110 and S1120 of FIG. 11 as it is. In addition, the purchase history information may include information such as replacement requirements and fees when replacing a product.

Next, in step S1130, payment for the product is performed. In order to perform payment, payment means information including one or more payment means may be transmitted, and a payment process is performed using the payment means. Performing payment in this step includes a process of generating a transaction table, and a detailed description thereof has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S1140, product replacement request information is received from the user. The product replacement request information includes information (such as price information) about the initial purchased product and the changed purchased product.                     

In operation S1150, a difference in payment amount associated with the product replacement request is determined. The difference in settlement amount may be determined by considering the price difference between the initial purchase product and the change purchase product. In addition, the difference in payment amount may be determined by further considering the fee when replacing the product. In order to determine the difference in payment amount, the purchase history information or the product replacement request information may be referred to.

In step S1160, an additional payment for the balance difference is performed. As an example of the additional payment, when the payment amount of the changed purchase product is larger than the initial purchase product, payment is performed for the difference in payment amount. As another example of the additional payment, when the payment amount of the changed purchase product is smaller than the initial purchase product, payment cancellation is performed on the difference in payment amount. The payment and some payment cancellation processes described in the above embodiments may be applied to the payment performance or cancellation of the payment for the difference.

Performing additional payment involves changing the transaction table, and FIGS. 12A to 12C illustrate a change in the transaction table for additional payment when a product is replaced according to the present invention. First, FIG. 12A illustrates a transaction table when a partial payment is made by dividing four times the payment amount of 900,000 won (250,000 won + 200,000 won + 200,000 won + 250,000 won) of the initial purchase product. FIG. 12B illustrates a change in the transaction table when the payment amount of the changed purchase product is 300,000 won, and some payment cancellation is performed while a new entry is made for the difference in payment amount of -600,000 won. FIG. 12C illustrates a change in the transaction table when the change purchase product has a payment amount of 1 million won, and additional payment is performed while a new entry is made for the difference in payment amount of 100,000 won.

As another example according to the present invention, even when the payment means is changed, payment can be easily performed by applying the divided payment method according to the present invention.

That is, when a settlement is completed using a predetermined payment method, and for some reason, the predetermined payment method is changed to another payment method (for example, a change of payment method between cash and credit card or foreign exchange credit in a national credit card) The payment method can be easily changed through the addition of an entry in the transaction table.

The change of the payment method involves the change of the transaction table, and FIGS. 13A and 13B illustrate the change of the transaction table when the payment method is changed.

As shown in FIG. 13A, when a payment method is changed by cash payment after a partial payment is made four times using a credit card for a payment amount of 900,000 won, an entry for canceling payment of -900,000 won is first generated. do. Subsequently, the payment status indicator key of the generated entry may be displayed as "cash deposit agreement status" while generating an additional entry for cash payment of KRW 900,000.

In addition, as shown in Figure 13b, the cash payment for the payment amount of 900,000 won, the payment method is changed by using a credit card in the state of not yet deposited (payment status indicator key is "cash payment contract state") It is possible to pay in installments. That is, by canceling the 900,000 won payment for the state of the cash contract by creating an entry for -900,000 won, the split payment can be performed by additionally creating an additional entry using a credit card. Even when the payment method is changed to change the credit card, cancel the payment for the existing card by creating an entry for the negative payment amount, and then create an entry for the multiple payment at several times using a separate additional payment window. You can pay with a new card.

That is, the divided payment providing method according to the present invention further includes the step of receiving payment method request information, canceling the payment for the initial payment method in response to the reception, and performing the payment for the change payment means. can do.

As described above, the present invention provides a divided payment using a plurality of payment means, and also implements a new technical idea different from the conventional method in refund (partial payment cancellation), product replacement, tying, and change of the payment method. This is due to the change of the transaction table using the introduction of session variables.

14 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a system for providing a partial payment in an electronic commerce using the Internet according to the present invention.
