The reverse auction method for wholesale transactions according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by the reverse auction system 10 to be described below.

In general, wholesale transactions have a large quantity of traded goods, and it may be essential to secure the personal information of suppliers and consumers.

The reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction can efficiently provide a reverse auction service even when the quantity of goods to be traded is large, and furthermore, it is possible to thoroughly maintain the security of the personal information of the supplier and the consumer.

As an example, in the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction, the receiver 200 receives consumer information including the consumer's personal information, the product to be purchased, the quantity of the product, the desired purchase price, the minimum purchase price, and the purchase deadline. It may include an information acquisition step (S10).

The obtaining of the consumer information (S10) may be implemented by the receiving unit 200 obtaining the consumer information from the consumer's electronic device P1.

As an example, the consumer's personal information may mean information on the consumer's name, gender, address, and/or ID.

For example, the product to be purchased may be a product name and/or a code assigned to the product as information on the product the consumer wishes to trade.

The desired purchase price may mean the price that the consumer wants to trade, and the minimum purchase price may mean the limit of the minimum price that the consumer wishes to trade.

If there is no provision for the minimum purchase price, it is possible to request the minimum purchase price from the consumer in order to prevent this problem in that the condition of the product cannot be guaranteed in the case of an item with a too low price.

Here, as an example, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction may further include a consumer information delivery step (S20) in which the transmitter 300 delivers the consumer information to a supplier.

As an example, the step of transmitting the consumer information (S20) may be a step of transmitting at least part of the consumer information input through the receiving unit 200 to the electronic device P2 of the supplier through the transmitting unit 300.

As an example, the consumer information transmitted to the supplier may be information without the consumer's personal information.

The supplier can view the product to be purchased, the quantity of the product, the desired purchase price, the minimum purchase price, and the purchase deadline entered by the consumer through his electronic device P2.

The supplier can participate in the reverse auction by viewing the consumer information.

As an example, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction further includes a supplier information obtaining step (S30) in which the receiving unit 200 receives supplier information including the supplier's personal information, the quantity of the item to be sold, and the sales price. I can.

The supplier may input the supplier information through its electronic device P2 and transmit the information to the reverse auction system 10.

For example, the supplier's personal name information may mean information on the supplier's name, gender, address, and/or ID.

Here, as an example, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction includes a wholesale transaction matching step (S40) in which the controller 100 matches a wholesale transaction between a consumer and a supplier under a predetermined transaction condition based on the consumer information and the supplier information. It may contain more.

The controller 100 may implement a wholesale transaction between a consumer and a supplier based on the consumer information and the supplier information transmitted through the receiving unit 200.

Matching of wholesale transactions may be implemented according to the predetermined transaction conditions.

As an example, the predetermined transaction condition may be a condition for matching wholesale transactions based on the quantity and sales price of an item to be sold, but may be a condition in which the sales price is given priority.

To explain this in more detail, as shown in FIG. 3, as an example, when the product that the consumer wants to purchase is CCTV and the quantity of the product that he wants to purchase is 100, a number of suppliers may view the information of the consumer and participate in reverse auction. .

As shown in Figure 4, Supplier A participating in reverse auction has 100 CCTVs to sell, 100,000 won per each, Supplier B has 50 CCTVs to sell, 80,000 won each, and Supplier C has 30 CCTVs to sell. , If it is assumed that the price is 80,000 won, Supplier D has 30 CCTVs to sell, 80,000 won, and Supplier E has 20 CCTVs to sell, and it is assumed that each is 110,000 won. The transaction between the supplier and the consumer is matched based on the quantity and sales price of, but the transaction can be matched by prioritizing the supplier with a lower sales price.

That is, the control unit 100 does not match supplier A with the same quantity of 100 items that the consumer wants to purchase, but suggests a relatively low price, based on the above-mentioned priority, the highest priority supplier B and the consumer. You can match.

In this case, as an example, the predetermined condition is to match the wholesale transaction between the consumer and a plurality of suppliers (including the suppliers of the highest priority) when the quantity of the goods to be sold by one supplier is less than the quantity of the goods desired by the consumer. It can be a condition.

To explain this in more detail, when only supplier B, which is the highest priority, is insufficient, the quantity of products desired by the consumer is 100, the control unit 100 may match not only supplier B, but supplier C and supplier D with the consumer.

Here, if the quantity of the goods that supplier B, supplier C, and supplier D wants to sell is the same as the quantity of items the consumer wants, the control unit 100 matches the transaction between the consumer and supplier B, supplier C, and supplier D to make a transaction. However, as the previous example, if the quantity of goods the consumer wants to purchase is 100, and the sum of the quantity of goods that Supplier B, Supplier C, and Supplier D intends to sell is 110 more than 100, that is, When the quantity of the goods to be sold by a plurality of matched suppliers is greater than the quantity of goods desired by the consumer, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction is a purchase where the transmission unit 300 asks the consumer whether the quantity of goods to be purchased can be adjusted. It may further include an article quantity adjustment step (S50).

To explain this in more detail, the control unit 100 uses the transmission unit 300 to provide the consumer's electronic device P1 with the fact that the quantity of goods that the supplier B, the supplier C, and the supplier D intends to sell is 110 and each supplier. It is possible to provide a user interface for whether there is an intention to purchase 110 items instead of 100 items, along with information on the sales price of the items to be provided.

Here, the consumer may input his/her intention to the receiving unit 200 by clicking whether to purchase 110 pieces through his/her electronic device P1.

If the consumer inputs information indicating that 110 items are purchased, the control unit 100 may establish a transaction between the consumer and the supplier B, the supplier C, and the supplier D, and inform the consumer and each supplier that the mutual transaction has been completed. .

However, on the contrary, when the consumer inputs the intention to purchase 100 pieces, which is information that the consumer does not intend to adjust the quantity, that is, when the receiver 200 receives information from the consumer that it is impossible to adjust the quantity of the item to be purchased. , The reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction may further include a step S60 of adjusting the quantity of goods to be sold, asking whether the transmission unit 300 asks whether the quantity of goods to be sold can be adjusted to a plurality of matched suppliers.

To explain this in more detail, if the quantity of the goods to be sold by a plurality of suppliers matched with the quantity of the goods to be purchased by the consumer does not match, the control unit 100 preferentially determines whether the quantity of goods to be purchased can be adjusted to the consumer. You can ask first, and then ask a plurality of matched suppliers whether or not the quantity of items you want to sell can be adjusted.

Here, as an example, in the step of adjusting the quantity of goods for sale (S60), a supplier having a large quantity of goods to be sold among the matched suppliers may be given priority and asked whether the quantity of goods can be adjusted.

To explain this in more detail, rather than asking supplier B, supplier C, and supplier D matched with the consumer whether it is possible to adjust the items to be sold at the same time, the quantity of the items to be sold among supplier B, supplier C, and supplier D is the most. You can ask many supplier B if they are willing to sell 40 instead of 50 first.

As an example, the control unit 100 transmits information on the quantity and sales price of each item to be sold by the supplier B, supplier C, and supplier D to the electronic device P2 of supplier B through the transmission unit 300. You can provide a user interface for whether you are willing to sell 40 instead of 50 together.

If supplier B inputs information indicating that it is willing to sell 40, the control unit 100 concludes a transaction between the consumer and the supplier B, the supplier C, and the supplier D, indicating that the mutual transaction is completed, the consumer and each supplier. Can inform.

If supplier B inputs information indicating that it is willing to sell 50, the control unit 100 asks supplier C or supplier D whether the quantity of items to be sold can be adjusted through the transmission unit 300. You can.

Here, as an example, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction may further include a reward providing step (S70) in which the controller 100 provides a reward to a supplier who has adjusted the quantity of an item to be sold among a plurality of matched suppliers. .

The reward may be at least one of a point having a value such as money in the corresponding system, a score evaluating a user's reliability, or a gift.

Here, as an example, the reward provided to a supplier who has adjusted the quantity of goods to be sold may be provided in proportion to the adjusted quantity of goods.

To explain this in more detail, the control unit 100 may provide a reward having a relatively large value (for example, a relatively large point) when the quantity of the adjusted item is relatively large, and the adjusted quantity is relatively small. In this case, it is possible to provide a reward with relatively small value (for example, relatively small points).

As described above, when a transaction is concluded between a consumer and a supplier by the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction, the control unit 100 transfers the transaction amount to the consumer through the transmission unit 300 through a predetermined account, etc. You can request, and you can ask the supplier to pay the goods to a predetermined place.

In other words, in order to protect the personal information between the consumer and the supplier, the consumer does not directly deposit the transaction amount to the supplier, but can request the consumer to deposit the transaction amount made through a predetermined account rather than the supplier. Instead of paying the goods directly to the address of, you can request payment of the goods to a predetermined place rather than the consumer.

In the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction, when payment of the transaction amount from the consumer and payment of the sale item from the supplier is confirmed, the transaction amount is paid to the supplier and the goods are sent to the consumer.

As shown in FIG. 5, the reverse auction system 10 for wholesale transactions according to another embodiment of the present invention may be a device implementing the above-described reverse auction method for wholesale transactions.

As an example, the reverse auction system 10 for wholesale transactions includes a receiver 200 that receives consumer information and supplier information from a consumer and a supplier, and wholesales between a consumer and a supplier under a predetermined transaction condition based on the consumer information and the supplier information. It may include a control unit 100 for matching transactions and a transmission unit 300 for transmitting wholesale transaction information about the matched wholesale transaction to consumers and suppliers.

As an example, the reverse auction system 10 for the wholesale transaction may further include a memory unit 400 for storing information/data necessary to implement the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction, and the wholesale transaction It may further include an input unit 500 for receiving information/data, an operation formula, etc. necessary to implement the reverse auction method for this.

The reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction may be provided in the form of an application on the electronic device P1 of the consumer and the electronic device P2 of the supplier by the reverse auction system 10 for the wholesale transaction.

As described above, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction and the reverse auction system for the wholesale transaction are due to competition between suppliers and a bid for a too low amount. Information excluding mutual personal information may be provided between the consumer and the supplier in that it may lead to a dispute between the manufacturer and the distributor if the information of the supplier and the consumer is disclosed.

Meanwhile, in order to guarantee a transaction between a consumer and a supplier, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction and the reverse auction system for the wholesale transaction may provide a transaction guarantee to the supplier and/or the consumer.

In addition, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction and the reverse auction system for the wholesale transaction may provide additional benefits of reducing fees and increasing exposure frequency according to transaction credit and sales by making a database of past transactions of consumers and suppliers. .

In addition, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction and the reverse auction system for the wholesale transaction may relay price negotiation inquiries between the consumer and/or supplier, and the consumer electronic device (P1) and the supplier electronic device (P2) can respond to changes. Real-time notifications may also be possible.

Meanwhile, the reverse auction method for the wholesale transaction and the reverse auction system for the wholesale transaction exemplarily describe the transaction for wholesale goods, but are not limited thereto, and it may be applicable to construction requests and service requests. Of course.

In the above, the configuration and features of the present invention have been described based on the embodiments according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is understood that various changes or modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
