1 is a block diagram of a real-time open market inventory management system.

Referring to FIG. 1, a real-time open market inventory management system includes a seller terminal, a buyer terminal 20, and an inventory management server 100.

The seller terminal 10 is a terminal used by a seller who operates an open market. The seller terminal 10 accesses the inventory management server 100 through a network and inputs member information, product information, order information, and the like. The seller terminal 10 is a concept including a fixed or mobile terminal. The inventory management server 100 can directly or indirectly manage the website managed by each seller terminal 10 based on the seller's member information, product information, and order information input through the seller terminal 10. [ For example, the inventory management server 100 may access the open market website of the seller to display the quantity of stock, the out of stock condition, and the notice.

The buyer terminal 20 is a terminal used by a buyer who connects to an open market and purchases an article sold by the seller. The buyer terminal 20 can access the open market website of the seller by accessing the inventory management server 100 through the network or directly access the open market website of the seller. The buyer terminal 20 can transmit inquiries related to the goods to be purchased in the open market in the form of a bulletin board comment or an e-mail form. In addition, the purchaser terminal 20 can communicate with the inventory management server 100 or the seller terminal 10 by performing procedures such as cancellation, refund, exchange, etc. of purchased commodities.

The inventory management server 100 performs network communication with the seller terminal 10 and the purchaser terminal 20. In this case, an interface program managed by the inventory management server 100 may be installed in the seller terminal 10 or the buyer terminal 20. [ The inventory management server 100 communicates with the seller terminal 10 according to a predetermined time schedule to obtain stock information inputted by the seller. This is to understand the inventory of multiple open markets in real time. The inventory management server 100 can provide the minimum quantity of supply by providing out-of-stock information when the stock quantity of a plurality of open markets is less than the reference stock.

In addition, the inventory management sub obtains information such as affirmative or negative feeler information, satisfaction, and improvement information of the buyer about the goods and services sold by the seller through the buyer terminal 20 in the form of characters, voice, or the like. Data mining is performed based on the purchase information provided from the buyer terminal 20 to check the improvement of the seller in the open market. It is also possible to secure purchase history to manage the purchaser and provide additional information such as an event or a product recommendation.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a real-time open market inventory management server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an inventory management method implemented in the real-time open market inventory management server according to FIG.

2 and 3, a real-time open market inventory management server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a seller management unit 110, a product management unit 120, an order management unit 130, and an inventory management unit 140, .

First, the seller management unit 110 manages the member information of a plurality of registered members operating an open market (S310). Here, the member information is used to encompass seller personal information and open market operation information. The seller management unit 110 can also collect information such as an ID and an evaluation of the seller to be sold in the open market. In addition, the seller management unit 110 can analyze the evaluation and sales history in the open market and reset the seller rating. This seller rating can be based on the allocation of the quantity of stock to be allocated in the inventory management unit 140, the safety stock, and the quantity of the allowed stock.

Next, the product management unit 120 manages product information such as product name, code information, and price of each product input by the seller (S320). The product management unit 120 can obtain shipping information, delivery information, defect information, and the like of the product. In addition, the product management unit 120 can acquire information on the sex, age, area, and preference of the main purchaser through purchase history of each product. The product management unit 120 may set the distribution period differently depending on the characteristics of the product. This is to make inventory management variable according to the characteristics of the product.

Next, the order management unit 130 manages order information on the goods information input from the seller (S330). Here, the order information is used to mean order quantity information, shipping information, and the like. Order information plays an important role in determining the quantity of goods in inventory management. The order management unit 130 can restore the stock quantity when there is an exchange, refund, or cancellation in the order. The order management unit 130 grasps the order quantity from a plurality of open markets at predetermined time intervals.

In addition, the order management unit 130 analyzes the change in the order quantity according to the predetermined time interval, increases the inventory so that the stock can be secured in advance when the order quantity is collected, As shown in FIG. For example, inventory can be actively anticipated and distributed in conjunction with time, date, place, etc. based on previous day order information. It is also possible to anticipate the order quantity of the next day by analyzing the order information of the same open market by date, and to reserve the inventory of the other open market in advance for the item with the large order quantity.

Next, the inventory management unit 140 acquires stock information input from the seller at a predetermined time interval (S340). The inventory management unit 140 grasps the inventory quantity and inventory variation of the entire open market. For example, the inventory management unit 140 outputs the stock information to the open market when the remaining stock of each open market becomes the safe stock of less than a predetermined quantity. This is to prevent the placing of orders for goods without stock. These safety stocks can be set differently according to the seller and the product. In this case, the inventory management unit 140 can process the open market goods with a relatively large inventory in an open market with a low inventory.

More specifically, the inventory management unit 140 includes a safety inventory management unit 141 and a permitted inventory management unit 142. [ The safety inventory management unit 141 outputs out-of-stock information when the real-time residual inventory in each open market is below the safe inventory. When the out-of-stock information is output to each open market, all order work is stopped and the seller can no longer accept orders until the out-of-stock information is released. When the inventory is allocated to the seller of each open market, the allowed inventory management unit 142 may increase the predetermined virtual stock according to the seller's sales grade and the sales grade of the product. In this case, the virtual inventory can be named as the allowed stock, and the allowed stock means the quantity of the product which can supply additional goods to the seller within the predetermined time. As a result, sellers who are selling well or those with high popularity can withdraw their stock information until the stock is exhausted even if the stock is below safe stock.

Meanwhile, the real-time open market inventory management server 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a buyer management unit 150. [

The buyer management unit 150 manages buyer information for purchasing goods from the seller in the open market. The buyer management unit 150 may analyze the preference and history of the buyer using the open market to set different safety stocks or allowable stocks for the open market. For example, the buyer management unit 150 can set the seller's sales grade using information such as comments, e-mails, product reviews, reviews, etc. left by the buyer in the open market. The higher the level of sales, the less restrictive the safety inventory and the greater the quantity of inventory allowed.

In addition, the buyer management unit 150 can generate a psychological analysis model by analyzing comments, e-mails, conversation contents, and purchase history through the open market. The psychological analysis model is a model of the psychological state of the buyer by mechanical learning or expert diagnosis. The buyer management unit 150 may classify the buyers into various types, and then match the counselor corresponding to the psychoanalytic model to answer or respond. This is to prevent unnecessary friction between the buyer and the seller, and it is possible to induce a good response in the purchasing process by matching the personalized counselor to the psychological state of the buyer.

4 is an exemplary view for explaining inventory management according to an inventory management method implemented in the real-time open market inventory management server according to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the seller 1, the seller 2, the seller 3, and the seller 4 exist, the sales grade of each seller can be set. Here, the sales grade may be changed according to the sales history of the sellers. In addition, the sales grade can be adjusted down due to order cancellation, exchange, and refund. A higher sales rating means that there is less restriction on safety stocks, which can be used by other vendors or allowed inventory to increase. For example, if the seller grade is A, the seller grade is B, and the seller grade is C, then the reference stock may be changed even if the same stock amount is allocated. Merchant 2 and Merchant 3 are set to stock when the remaining inventory is less than 10, and if the remaining inventory is below the reference inventory, the order will be blocked in the open market through a stock order. On the other hand, in the case of the seller 1 and the seller 3, the allowable inventory or the inventory of other sellers can be preferentially allocated even when the standard inventory is less than the reference stock.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary view for explaining acquisition of the psychological state information of the seller through the seller terminal in the real-time open market inventory management server according to FIG. 2. FIG. FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram for explaining whether the psychological state of the seller is improved through the seller terminal in the real time open market inventory management server according to FIG. 2. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, the seller management unit of the real-time open market inventory management server can obtain the seller's psychological state information from the seller who operates the open market through the seller terminal 10. This is to manage the seller and to reduce the stress on customer response and product sales. The seller can input the emotion information provided through the seller terminal 10 and transmit the current psychological state to the inventory management server. For example, positive emotion information such as depression, irritability, discomfort, anxiety, depression, sadness, sadness, and positive emotion information such as joy, joy, joy, and freshness can be selected and input.

In addition, the seller management unit of the real-time open market inventory management server can receive the biometric information of the seller through the seller terminal 10. [ Here, the biometric information is information including heart rate, blood pressure, and the like. This is to confirm the physical condition of the seller as the seller sells it in the open market. In this case, the seller terminal 10 can directly acquire the biometric information through the wearable device worn on the seller's body, or acquire the biometric information using the inquiry about the seller.

6, the seller management unit of the real-time open market inventory management server can provide the seller's terminal 10 with a psychological healing model corresponding to the seller's psychological state information and biometric information. The psychological healing model can be set to match the mental and physical characteristics of the seller. For example, various psychological healing models may be provided, such as providing content such as videos, games, etc. that can help heal psychosis, or therapy through professional counseling, exercise therapy, and real-time chatting. In this case, it is also possible to recommend and provide an optimal psychological healing model to the seller. When the seller selects the psychological healing model, the psychotherapeutic contents are provided to the seller terminal 10. As a result, sales can be improved in the open market by helping sellers heal.

Referring to FIG. 7, the seller management unit of the real-time open market inventory management server obtains the seller's psychological state information and biometric information at a predetermined time interval with the seller terminal 10, and can compare and analyze the same. For example, biometric information and psychological state information of the seller are provided through the seller terminal 10 at intervals of one day, one week, and one month. The seller management department can modify and provide the psychological healing model on the basis of this. In addition, the seller's psychological state information can be scored to determine whether the seller's stress is decreasing.
