DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a product search system using a style match and a style keyword according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, a product search system 100 using style matching and style keywords according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of consumer terminals 200 and a system server 300. Each of the consumer terminals 200 and the system server 300 are connected to the network 400.

Such a consumer terminal 200 is preferably implemented as a personal computer (PC), but is not limited thereto. (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) phone having a notebook PC, a PDA phone, or a DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) phone capable of communicating with the Internet, Any device that can be connected can be implemented. A consumer connected to the system server 300 through the consumer terminal 200 may include both a buyer purchasing a product and a seller selling a product. For example, a seller connected through a shopping mall server 500, which will be described later, can be a consumer who is provided with a style match service.

The system server 300 performs a function of providing a tournament match in response to a request of a consumer who wants to select a product of a desired style in association with the consumer terminal 200 through the network 400. [ Thus, the system server 300 includes a style match module 310 that manages tournament matches.

The style match module 310 provides a tournament match screen to the consumer terminal 200 so that the style match can proceed, and when the consumer determines the tournament style, the style match module 310 displays a pair of goods one by one To provide a function to help the consumer to determine the product based on the item.

The system server 300 performs a function of providing the consumer with data on a style preferred by the consumer other than the consumer. Accordingly, the system server 300 includes a style information module 320 that classifies and displays the style information in association with a DB (not shown) that manages the style trends of the consumers accumulated through the tournament match.

The style information module 320 may provide a service for storing and displaying winning and losing of how a different consumer evaluates the style of the selected product by the consumer at a winning rate. To this end, information on win or loss representing the consumer's preference within the category of the product may be stored in the DB. The style information module 320 can classify and store information according to the occupation, age, sex, etc. of the consumer. For example, winning and losing can be classified by the age of the consumer and the winning percentage can be stored. Accordingly, the style information module 320 can provide a service for rapidly investigating a changing market response through a style match from the standpoint of a seller who releases a new product.

In particular, based on the style keyword of the product selected by the user through the data of the consumer himself / herself recorded in the style information module 320, the product of the similar style can be automatically recommended. For example, the style information module 320 has a function of automatically recommending a product in a style similar to a style the consumer likes based on the style information included in the products selected through the style match by the consumer. That is, it is possible to easily search by interpreting the style of the consumer through the product selected by the consumer and automatically recommending similar products based on the interpretation.

In addition, the system server 300 can perform a function of presenting a style-oriented search result that the consumer likes while greatly reducing the search result through the style keyword search. Accordingly, the system server 300 includes a style search module 330 that provides style-based search results.

The style search module 330 provides a pool of two or more pairs of opposite style keywords and provides a search result when selecting at least one style keyword. The consumer enters one of the contradictory pairs of style keywords thus provided, and one of the four (2 ^ 2) styles can be selected through two pairs of style keywords, and 8 2 ^ 3) styles.

In addition, various modules are included in addition to the modules 310, 320, and 330 in order to perform overall management and other functions of the system, but a description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, there may be a case where the consumer provides the service of the present invention based on the goods provided by the shopping mall server 500 through the network 400. A consumer may be connected to the system server 300 based on the result of the style match and style search and may move to the shopping mall site through the system server 300 and purchase the corresponding goods from the shopping mall server 500.

In the former case, the consumer performs a style match and a style search based on the goods provided at the shopping mall site through the terminal 200, and when a purchase decision is made, the goods purchase request is transmitted to the shopping mall server 500, The control unit 500 transmits a settlement request according to the purchase history to the settlement agency (not shown) upon receiving the commodity purchase request. When the settlement agency completes the settlement processing, it transmits settlement processing completion to the shopping mall server 500. When the shopping mall server 500 receives the settlement processing completion, it transmits a delivery request for the goods to the goods delivery company (not shown). When the product delivery company completes the delivery process for the product and transmits the delivery process completion to the shopping mall server 500, the shopping mall server 500 transmits the product purchase information to the system server 300. In this case, the shopping mall server 500 can pay the service usage fee according to the style match service to the system server 300. [

Hereinafter, a procedure of comparing items using a style match according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Referring to FIG. 3, the initial screen is provided with various kinds of information that can be helpful to the consumer, and the consumer can input various conditions through the terminal 200 to select his / her desired product. There are various conditions such as major classification / subdivision of goods, price range of goods and so on. The above conditions may vary depending on the type of the commodity.

The system server 300 may provide the large class / middle class selection window 110 to the consumer terminal 200. The consumer can select the major / intermediate classification of the product under various conditions. For example, if the product is a garment, "women's apparel" can be selected as a major category, and "t-shirts, blouses, dresses, knits, pants, swimwear, skirts, jackets, jumps, vests"

The system server 300 may provide the tournament match window 120 to the consumer terminal 200. [ The present invention has a step of avoiding the selection of a product based on a company through the style match module 310 and comparing each product in the form of a 1: 1 tournament so that a product can be searched for an item. The style match module 310 provides 8-, 16-, and 32-lap tournament matches so that a style match can be performed through various conditions selected by the consumer. The consumer can then decide on the tournament mode. For example, depending on the type of item, the tournament method of 8th, 16th, and 32th classes can be decided.

Further, in order to further reduce the search result, a price range setting window 130 may be provided. If the START is clicked after inputting the conditions as described above, the tournament match can proceed in earnest as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. The present invention is characterized in that it is possible to fairly evaluate items while comparing items through a 1: 1 tournament, thereby helping to make an optimal selection. Therefore, two goods are displayed, and the consumer can select one of the two goods.

Referring to FIG. 4, the present invention is characterized in that style matching proceeds in a tournament manner. To be able to select one of a pair of items, it is necessarily displayed on a one-to-one basis. When the consumer selects one of the pair of styles, the next screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 5, and the other pair of styles is displayed one-to-one. The choice is W (V) and the non-selection is L (F). Subsequently, the winning (V) style is displayed again, and the hand (F) is later excluded. If the match is performed in the order of 32, 16, and 8, it is configured to finally select one style as shown in FIG. At this time, the style match total is displayed as a winning ratio. The winning percentage is a ratio of the style provided for the style match to the selected or not selected win / lose, and the ratio can be displayed separately according to the sex, occupation, age, etc. of the consumer.

On the other hand, before the tournament ends, you can place your items in your list (My list) if necessary.

When one product is determined in the final final and the consumer confirms the product of the style desired by the user, the detailed information of the product and the payment amount and the like are displayed as shown in Fig. 10, . The service is provided through the system server 300 of the present invention until the product is determined as described above and thereafter the service is continuously provided through the system server 300 or the service is provided through the shopping mall server 500 Can be provided.

Referring to FIG. 7, in the case of the present invention, the odds of how the other consumer evaluates the style of the product through the style information window 140 is displayed. In the existing online shopping mall, although the popularity index according to the sales amount is displayed as data, it is not provided with accurate data as to which style of clothing the consumer prefers. The present invention can show how the totality of the two products in the same category is going, since the record of how the consumers like a particular style is being made and made into statistics as the tournament progresses.

As described above, since the merchandise of various sellers can be compared at one place centering on the items according to the style, the consumer does not have to search for the shopping malls troublesly. In the existing shopping mall, due to the characteristics of the open market, it is required to pay a high entry fee in order to be provided at the top, and the exposure frequency increases regardless of the actual selling popularity of the item, The retrieval is performed mainly on excellent items from the viewpoint of the consumer, and the selection result is presented concretely at the winning rate, so that the reliability of retrieval is enhanced.

When the product is finally determined, a screen for inputting the product color, product size, order quantity, and the like may be provided. A scroll bar may be provided so that the consumer can arbitrarily select among a plurality of choices offered by the seller.

When you click "Add My list", the selected item is added to your list. If you click on "Replay", tournaments can be exposed based on items that were not previously displayed. If "OK" is clicked, the movement selection information can be deleted by moving to the style match setting screen.

Hereinafter, a procedure for searching for an item using a style keyword according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, the present invention is characterized in that a search result based on a style keyword is greatly reduced, while a search result based on a style preferred by a consumer is presented.

As shown in FIG. 11, the style keyword search of the present invention can be performed through ten opposing keywords. Thus, if five keywords are selected with 10 keywords, all 32 (2 ^ 5) kinds of style items can be selected at the same time. Therefore, even within the same category, consumers can search for products of their own style and reduce the search results significantly. It is very easy to search because it is to select one of the pair of goods.

Referring to FIG. 8, the system server 300 is provided with a large classification / middle classification selection window 110 for category classification, a price setting window 130, and a style keyword search window 150 for inputting a style condition.
