The payment information may include card information of the supplier. If the provider card information is inputted in advance, the approval may be inputted to transmit the card information to the intermediary management server when the rental / sale information is input. The approved card information is approved for payment after the transaction is normally completed, and is canceled if the transaction is not normally completed. Therefore, if the transaction is not completed normally, unnecessary financial transaction fee will not be generated and the complicated refund process due to payment approval and cancellation may not be performed.

When the payment information authenticated by the provider is transmitted to the intermediary management server, the intermediary management server registers the payment information in the payment information DB. The payment information may be registered in an independent payment information DB, or may be registered in a subscription request data DB or a rental / sales information DB.

When the rental / sale information of the goods is transmitted to the intermediary management server through the network, the information is registered in the database (S12). The rental / sale information may be registered together with the member information of the supplier and stored together with the supplier reputation index previously given in advance. The rental / sale information may be stored in a single database or may be divided into fields and stored in a plurality of databases so that the rental / sales information can be effectively utilized in connection with other modules constituting the intermediary system. For example, the location information of the goods can be stored in the geographical information database to quickly exchange data with the geographical information system, and the transaction amount of the goods can be stored in the payment information database to quickly exchange data with the payment module and the payment system.

The consumer terminal receives information of the goods to be used from the consumer (S14). The information of the commodity inputted by the consumer can be at least one of the name of the commodity, the transaction type, the status of the commodity, and the transaction amount. In addition, the position of the product or the reputation index of the supplier may be the object of search.

The consumer can select at least one of the exposed rental / sales information and enter the subscription by selecting one of the transaction types designated by the supplier. The customer may enter the subscription with the desired transaction amount. The entered subscription request data is transmitted to the intermediary management server. The subscription request data may include the current location of the consumer or the location of the desired delivery area input by the consumer.

The customer terminal receives payment information of the customer. The payment information may be input together with the rental / purchase subscription input of the goods or may be inputted in advance. The payment information may include card information of the consumer. The card information may be utilized for automatic settlement when delinquency occurs. Accordingly, the consumer terminal displays a notice of automatic payment in advance or together with the rental / purchase subscription, and can receive the pre-approval. If the transaction type is loaned to the consumer terminal, the period loan amount including the deposit amount is displayed, and if the transaction type is sales, the sales amount can be indicated as the payment amount. When the user card information is inputted in advance, the user can input an approval to transmit the card information to the intermediary management server upon inputting the rental / purchase offer. The approved card information is approved for payment after the transaction is normally completed, and is canceled if the transaction is not normally completed. Therefore, if the transaction is not completed normally, unnecessary financial transaction fee will not be generated and the complicated refund process due to payment approval and cancellation may not be performed.

When the payment information authenticated by the consumer is transmitted to the intermediary management server, the intermediary management server registers the payment information in the payment information DB. The payment information may be registered in an independent payment information DB, or may be registered in a subscription request data DB or a rental / sales information DB. If the customer cancels the subscription after the subscription approval of the supplier is transmitted, the subscription and acceptance is canceled, the member's information DB is updated by decreasing the consumer's reputation index, State. This is to give a penalty to the customer who canceled the subscription considering the loss of opportunity cost of the supplier who expects the settlement of the transaction. It provides such transaction history to other users as reputation information and applies the utilization fee differently according to the above reputation index .

The intermediary management server registers the subscription request data transmitted from the consumer terminal in the database (S22). The database in which the subscription request data is stored may be a separate subscription request data database, but may also be stored together with the rental / sales information database of the goods. The intermediation management server transmits the subscription request data of the consumer to the purchaser terminal. The intermediation management server transmits the subscription request data of the consumer to the provider terminal at the same time as or after the transmission of the subscription request data to the supplier terminal or stores the subscription request data in the database or transmits the subscription request data to the provider terminal, The subscription request data may be transmitted to the provider terminal when a call is transmitted from the provider terminal. The calling of the provider terminal may be one of a program log-on, a power-on of the provider terminal, or an inquiry input of the provider.

The provider terminal displays the goods rental / purchase request data (S24). The merchandise rental / subscription request data displayed on the provider terminal may include a subscriber's position or a desired delivery position. Also, the reputation index of the consumer may be exposed to the supplier terminal. If there are plural subscribers, the reputation index can be exposed first in descending order. If the preferred transaction amount of the subscriber is different according to the input of the provider, the subscriber may be sorted according to the transaction amount, or the subscriber may be ordered based on the current location of the supplier or the location or sub- .

The supplier terminal receives the rental / sale approval (S26). The supplier may confirm the subscription request data of the exposed subscriber, select the desired subscriber to approve the transaction, or refuse the transaction if there is no desired subscriber. Deny of the transaction may be entered at the supplier terminal or automatically rejected. For example, the subscription may be automatically rejected after the subscriber has subscribed or when the subscription request data is not input for a certain period of time after the subscription request data is transmitted to the provider terminal, and when one of the subscriptions is selected, May be rejected. Approval information for which the transaction is approved or rejected is transmitted to the intermediary management server.

The intermediary management server changes the status information of the goods according to the approval information (S28). For example, if the supplier approves one of the subscriptions, the status information of the goods can be changed to a state in which the goods are not transaction-permissible or in a waiting state. Also, when the supplier approves one of the subscriptions, the subscriber creates a transaction contract between the supplier and the subscriber and is transmitted to both the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal.

The customer terminal displays the rental / sale approval (S30). At this time, the consumer terminal can display the created contract. The consumer terminal can generate an alarm signal so that the consumer can confirm that the contract has been approved, or display the contract and the rental / sale approval in response to the command input of the consumer.

The supplier terminal receives the dispatch information of the supplier (S32). After the payment completion information is received, the provider terminal waits for input of the dispatch information of the supplier. The supplier can select and input a direct deal and a shipping transaction. The supplier may input the invoice information when the delivery is performed through the shipping agency, and may input a photograph to confirm the state of the product before delivery. If no valid shipping information is input within a predetermined period of time after the rental / sale is approved, the transaction ends, and the intermediary management server can update the member information DB by decreasing the reputation index of the supplier.

When the dispatch information is transmitted from the provider terminal to the mediation management server, the mediation management server registers the dispatch information in the database (S34). If the invoice information is valid, the server verifies the validity of the invoice information in connection with the server of the courier service provider. If the invoice information is valid, the delivery status is transmitted from the courier service server to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal . If the invoice information is invalid, the invoice information is transmitted to the provider terminal, and an invoice information error message is displayed on the provider terminal.

When the shipment information is transmitted to the consumer terminal, the consumer terminal displays the shipping information (S36). The customer terminal can automatically display the shipping information or display the shipping information in response to the inquiry input of the consumer. When the dispatch information arrives, the consumer terminal waits for the receipt confirmation input of the consumer.

The customer terminal receives receipt confirmation and transaction completion (S38). The consumer can input the receipt confirmation and the transaction end to the consumer terminal after receiving the goods through the direct delivery or the delivery agency. The customer terminal may receive a photograph of the delivered product. If there is an abnormality in the product after receipt confirmation, the consumer can submit an objection to the supplier or report the abnormality to the manager without inputting the completion of the transaction. If there is no abnormality in the product after receipt confirmation, the consumer enters the transaction completion.

If the transaction termination is input to the consumer terminal, the intermediation management server generates a transaction confirmation message, transmits the transaction confirmation message to the supplier terminal, and approves the transfer to the supplier by cash or points (S40). The intermediary management server transmits the transaction confirmation message and the remittance information to the supplier terminal. The remittance information includes a fee for use. The utilization fee is differentially settled according to the reputation index of the supplier, and the amount of money obtained by subtracting the fee from the usage fee of the consumer is approved for remittance.

The supplier terminal receives and displays the transaction confirmation message and remittance information from the intermediary management server (S42).

In the online commodity direct transaction intermediation system according to the present invention, a commission is set differently according to the reputation index of the user. That is, a user with a high reputation applies a low commission and a user with a low reputation applies a high commission. The fee for each user may be stored in the member information DB, or may be transmitted to the user's terminal by applying the reputation index to the predetermined fee rate when the user requests the inquiry.

The intermediary management server may change the status information of the goods according to the approval information, generate contract and payment information, and send a subscription approval message to the subscriber (S222). For example, if the supplier approves one of the subscriptions, the merchandise may change the status information of the merchandise to a non-tradable or standby status. In addition, when the supplier approves one of the subscriptions, a transaction contract is generated between the supplier and the subscriber, and the contract is transmitted to both the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal.

If subscription cancellation is input to the consumer terminal, the approval of the supplier is canceled and the state of the book transaction is changed to a rental / sale state (S224, S228). At this time, the change to the rental / sellable state may be executed in response to the input of the supplier terminal. That is, when the rental / sale approval for the subordinate subscribers is inputted to the supplier terminal, the state of being rentable / sellable may be changed. When subscription cancellation is input to the consumer terminal, the reputation of the subscriber who has subscribed is reduced and the member information DB is updated.

6A and 6B are flowcharts illustrating a book delivering process using an online book direct brokerage system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6A, when the supplier and the consumer proceed directly with offline delivery of books, the consumer terminal waits for approval of acceptance (S310). In the offline mode, the step of inputting the delivery information may be omitted when the supplier and the consumer directly meet and exchange the book. The supplier and the consumer terminal can receive input by selecting a direct mode and a delivery mode. On the other hand, if the book is delivered offline, if the acceptance approval is input to the consumer terminal without inputting the delivery information, the book may be recognized as delivered.

If the consumer terminal does not receive the acceptance approval for a predetermined time after the payment completion information is input to the supplier terminal, the transaction is canceled (S316). The transaction cancellation is automatically set in the intermediary management server if the consumer terminal does not receive the acceptance approval for a predetermined time after the payment completion information is input. In addition, if the book is not received from the supplier at a predetermined time, the consumer may input the transaction cancellation to the consumer terminal. However, the cancellation of the transaction may not be entered if valid shipping information is input to the supplier terminal. If the delivery request is not made on the predetermined date and the period has expired, the brokerage management server may calculate the delayed period and wait for the customer to reduce the payment or to select the extension of the rental period.

If the transaction is canceled because the delivery procedure of the book is not performed smoothly, the member information DB is updated by decreasing the reputation index of the party between the supplier and the consumer (S318). For example, if the consumer enters the transaction cancellation without the approval of the supplier and the transaction is canceled, the consumer's reputation index is decreased. If the delivery or delivery is not made within the specified date or the status of the book is different from the book information, The provider can update the member information by decreasing the reputation index of the provider.

When the book is successfully received through the direct transaction, the consumer terminal receives the acceptance approval (S312). If the transaction type is book rental, you can also input a picture of the book to determine whether the book will be damaged when the book is returned. The input book photo and acceptance of the acceptance are transmitted to the brokerage management server. If the acceptance of the acceptance is input, it is determined that the transaction is normally completed, and both the supplier reputation index and the consumer demand rating are increased and updated in the member information DB.

The photographs input to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal may be stored in the delivery information DB for use in future disputes. When the acceptance of the acceptance is transmitted to the brokerage management server, the brokerage management server changes the transaction status of the book and authorizes the transfer of the use fee to the account of the supplier (S314).

Referring to FIG. 6B, the delivery procedure may be performed through a delivery company. When the delivery procedure is started, the supplier terminal receives the invoice number requested by the supplier from the delivery company and receives the invoice number (S410). At this time, a photograph of a book can be input together to record the state of the book before delivery. The provider terminal may be provided with a photographing module for photographing the photograph, and the photographing module may record the place and time information together with the photograph when photographing the photograph. Accordingly, it is possible to store the state of the book immediately before the delivery by confirming that it is a picture photographed a predetermined time before the entry of the invoice number.

When the invoice number and the book photograph are inputted, the book photograph and the delivery information are transmitted to the consumer terminal through the intermediary management server (S412). The consumer terminal may indicate that the delivery procedure has been performed so that the consumer can confirm the delivery procedure. In the process of delivering the book, the delivery status is transmitted from the server of the delivery company to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal, and the delivery status can be automatically updated (S414). When the delivery is completed, the consumer terminal receives the reception confirmation of the consumer and the photograph of the book (S416). It is preferable that the receipt confirmation and the book entry are made within a predetermined time from the delivery completion time confirmed by the delivery company. Therefore, it is expected that the state of the book in the photograph inputted by the consumer after the completion of the delivery is the same as the state of the book inputted when the supplier sends it.

The customer terminal waits for acceptance of acceptance (S418). If the consumer decides to accept the purchase, the customer terminal receives the cancellation of the transaction (S420). If the cancellation of the transaction is input, the reputation information is reduced according to the party to be redeemed and updated in the member information DB (S422).

If the consumer accepts the acceptance, the consumer terminal receives the acceptance approval (S426). After the acceptance approval is input to the consumer terminal, the intermediary management server increases the reputation index of the supplier and the consumer to update the member information DB.

The photographs input to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal may be stored in the delivery information DB for use in future disputes. When the acceptance of the acceptance is transmitted to the brokerage management server, the brokerage management server changes the transaction status of the book and authorizes the transfer of the utilization fee to the account of the supplier (S428). The amount remitted to the supplier is the amount obtained by subtracting the commission from the settlement amount, and the commission may be set differently according to the reputation index of the supplier.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a transaction type change process using an online book direct transaction intermediation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the customer terminal receives the change of the subscription condition (S510). The subscription condition change may be a rental period extension or a purchase conversion during rental. The subscription condition change may be sent to the provider terminal for approval, or may be extended automatically if the subscription is approved in advance (S512).

The supplier terminal waits for approval input (S514). If the approval terminal is not input to the provider terminal for a predetermined time or an approval rejection is inputted, an approval rejection message is transmitted to the consumer terminal at step S516. When the subscription change approval is input to the supplier terminal, an approval message is transmitted to the consumer terminal (S518).

The following procedure is performed according to whether the transaction type change is an extension of the period or a purchase conversion (S520). If the transaction type change is an extension of the period, the payment for the extension period shall be settled. The payment for the extended period may be processed by the payment server under the control of the brokerage management server or the brokerage management server. If the transaction type change is the purchase conversion, the payment based on the purchase conversion is settled (S524). At this time, the amount to be settled may be set as an initially set sales amount, subtracting the rental amount, partially reducing the sales amount, or setting the initial sales amount according to the supplier's choice. The settlement of the purchase conversion can be processed in the payment server under the control of the brokerage management server or the brokerage management server.

If the calculated payment amount is transmitted to the consumer terminal, the consumer terminal waits for the payment input of the consumer (S526). If payment is not made for a predetermined period in the consumer terminal or the subscription is canceled, the approval of the subscription is also canceled (S528). When the payment is inputted, the transaction status of the book is changed and the transfer is approved to the supplier (S524). The amount remitted to the supplier is the amount obtained by subtracting the commission from the settlement amount, and the commission may be set differently according to the reputation index of the supplier.

8A and 8B are flowcharts for explaining a returning process using an online book direct transaction intermediation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the return of the book can be made through the shipping company. When the returning procedure is started, the customer terminal receives the invoice number requested by the customer for delivery to the shipping company (S610). At this time, you can also input a picture of the book to record the state of the book before delivery. The customer terminal may be provided with a photographing module for photographing the photograph, and the photographing module may record the place and time information together with the photograph when photographing the photograph. Accordingly, it is possible to store the state of the book immediately before the delivery by confirming that it is a picture photographed a predetermined time before the entry of the invoice number.

When the invoice number and the book photograph are inputted, the book photograph and the delivery information are transmitted to the supplier terminal through the intermediary management server (S612). The supplier terminal may indicate that the delivery procedure has been performed so that the supplier can confirm the delivery procedure. In the process of delivering the book, the delivery status is transmitted from the server of the delivery company to the supplier terminal and the consumer terminal, and the delivery status may be automatically updated (S614). The rental period may be suspended retroactively on the delivery request date of the consumer (S616). The delivery request date can be confirmed through the server of the delivery company. The provider terminal receives the receipt confirmation and the photograph of the book (S616). It is preferable that the receipt confirmation and the book entry are made within a predetermined time from the delivery completion time confirmed by the delivery company. Accordingly, the state of the book can be expected to be the same as the state of the book inputted by the consumer when the delivery is completed. After the return, the stored picture is compared with the stored picture at step S620, and whether or not the book is defective is determined at step S622.

If there is no defect in the book, the supplier terminal receives the return approval and the brokerage management server changes the transaction state of the book to the initial state and waits for the request of the provider. This will terminate the transaction of the book normally. If the book is defective or the borrowing period is exceeded and the consumer makes a compensation, the consumer terminal receives an approval for payment of the delinquent amount or damage compensation (S626). The amount of the damage compensation may be deducted from the additional payment or the initial settlement deposit. When the damage compensation amount is approved for payment, the money is transferred to the account of the buyer. At this time, the amount to be remitted may be the amount of deducting the fee from the damage compensation amount. This will terminate the transaction of the book normally.

If the transaction of the book is normally terminated, the balance of the customer's deposit minus the entire amount of the initial deposit may be refunded or may be deposited as a point account or deposit according to the customer's choice.

Referring to FIG. 8B, the provider and the consumer can receive the bookmarked book off-line without going through the delivery company. If the consumer terminal receives the return request, it transmits a return request message to the provider terminal (S710). When the return is requested, the rental period is stopped (S712). The supplier and the consumer determine whether the book is defective (S714). If the book is defective or the rental period is exceeded, the consumer terminal receives the damage compensation payment approval (S716). The amount of the damage compensation may be deducted from the additional payment or the initial settlement deposit. When the damage compensation amount is approved for payment, the money is transferred to the account of the buyer. At this time, the amount to be remitted may be the amount of deducting the fee from the damage compensation amount. This will terminate the transaction of the book normally. If there is no defect in the book, the supplier terminal receives the return approval and the brokerage management server changes the transaction state of the book to the initial state and waits for the request of the provider. This will terminate the transaction of the book normally.

If the transaction of the book is normally terminated, the balance of the customer's deposit minus the entire amount of the initial deposit may be refunded or may be deposited as a point account or deposit according to the customer's choice.
