1 is a diagram illustrating a location-based non-face-to-face group purchase support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the group purchase support system 1 is a central server that selects ① the group purchaser terminal 10 for requesting group purchase, ② the overall operation of group purchase and the location-based unmanned storage box 40 of the group purchaser ( 20), and ③ includes a seller terminal 30 that provides information on group purchase products and group purchase criteria.

Here, the group purchaser terminal 10, the central server 20, and the seller terminal 30 provided in the system 1 are based on a group purchase application (and/or an online platform for group purchase) performing group purchase. so it can work. In particular, the group purchaser terminal 10 and the seller terminal 30 may be implemented as a general portable terminal, and store and execute a group purchase application and/or a website and/or mobile for an online platform for group purchase. You can run an application.

In addition, the group purchase application may receive a notification message from the central server 20, and the group purchaser terminal 10 and/or the seller terminal 30 displays the notification message on the top of the display, and the group purchaser and/or seller When the user clicks the notification, the group purchase application is executed and the notification inbox page is implemented.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 , detailed configurations of the joint purchaser terminal 10 , the central server 20 and the seller terminal 30 provided in the system will be described.

Basically, the central server 20 provides information on the product that the seller intends to sell from the seller terminal 30 (eg, product name, brand, product size, mass, price or discount price, etc.) and the minimum number of group purchases and The group purchase standard corresponding to the group purchase progress period is received and managed (S110).

For example, the central server 20 may further include a database, and the database may store information on products that the seller intends to sell and group purchase criteria as data. In addition, the central server 20 may receive a request from the seller terminal 30 to register the product to be sold by the seller, and store information on the product and group purchase criteria as data in the database unit. Furthermore, when the group purchaser terminal 10 requests group purchase product information, based on the location information of the group purchaser terminal 10, group purchase information of the group purchase product stored in the database of the central server 20 is collectively purchased. It can be provided as a list.

Next, the central server 20 may receive the group purchaser location information from a plurality of group purchaser terminals (S200).

For example, each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 inputs an address, the maximum product collection distance, etc. as location information by each user (ie, each of the plurality of group purchasers) of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 as location information. can receive Here, the maximum product receipt distance is the maximum distance the group purchaser can move from the address input to receive the product stored in the unmanned storage box 40, etc., and may represent a value set by each of the plurality of group purchasers. If the distance from the location of each of the plurality of group purchasers to the unmanned storage box 40 in which the product is stored is out of the maximum receiving distance of the product, it may be an intention that the corresponding group purchaser does not receive or do not purchase the product. have.

In addition, each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 may convert and store an address input by a user (ie, each of the plurality of group purchasers) of each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 into GPS coordinates. The corresponding coordinates may be GPS location information displayed as latitude and longitude information. In addition, the plurality of joint purchaser terminals 10 may store the GPS coordinates and the maximum distance to receive the product as location information, and transmit the location information to the central server 20 .

Next, the central server 20 may transmit the group purchase list to each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals (S300).

The central server 20 may generate a group purchase list including at least one product to be sold by a seller (or a plurality of sellers registered in the online platform) through the online platform of the present invention. In this case, the at least one product included in the group purchase list may be limited to a product for which a group purchase service is provided through the online platform.

The plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 receive the group purchase list from the central server 20 and provide an environment capable of displaying the group purchase list. Accordingly, each of the plurality of group purchasers may check and select products for which group purchasers are being recruited from the group purchase list through each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 . In this regard, the group purchase list may be stored with matching deadlines for group purchase applicants set for each of the products for which the group purchase service is provided.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for the central server 20 of the present invention to generate and/or calculate a group purchase list.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the central server 20 searches for a first list based on the group purchaser location information ( S310 ), and then creates and/or Calculation (S320), and then transmits the generated and/or calculated group purchase list to the group purchaser terminal 10 (S330), and each of the group purchaser terminals 10 is a group purchase list in the order of the number of group purchasers. is displayed (S340). In this case, the definition of the first list will be described later.

Here, the central server 20 may receive the location information of each of the plurality of group purchasers from each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 , and may generate and/or calculate a group purchase list based on the location information. To this end, the central server 20 may search the database for at least one other terminal corresponding to the location information adjacent to the location information of each of the plurality of group purchasers received from each of the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 . Here, the search method is a method of searching for at least one other terminal providing the same city, county, or gu as the address of the received location information of the group purchaser. In addition, even if the address provided by the other at least one terminal is different from the received address, when the address of the received location information is included due to the maximum receiving distance of the product received from at least one other terminal, the address has a different address. A user of at least one other terminal is searched for as a terminal of a group purchaser (or a group purchaser) who has provided proximity location information.

Next, group purchase products set as products of interest or frequently inquired by a plurality of other group purchasers are searched and the corresponding products are stored as a first list (S310).

At this time, when the first list generation method is set as a product of interest from a plurality of group purchasers based on a proximity location, 5 points for each setting of the product of interest, 1 point for each inquiry of the plurality of group purchasers, and previously to the same product For each group purchase in the corresponding area, 10 points are converted into 10 points, the products are sorted in the order of the highest total score, and the corresponding products are stored as a first list. Through this first list creation method, a plurality of group buyers living in a nearby address can preferentially access the products of interest, and since the products based on the location are exposed to the plurality of group buyers, the success rate of group purchases can be increased.

In the next step, a final group purchase list in which a plurality of group purchase candidates are desired among group purchase products corresponding to the first list is generated and/or calculated (S320).

Here, the group purchaser means a group purchaser who has expressed a purchase decision for group purchase products for which group purchase progress has not been decided because they do not satisfy the group purchase criteria provided by the seller terminal 30 . The above final group purchase list creation method is a method in which the products are sorted in the order of the number of people who wish to purchase together compared to the minimum number of group purchases among the criteria for group purchase. In the case of products with the same number of group purchases compared to the minimum number of group purchases, the products with a higher discount rate are sorted first. If the discount rate is also the same, they are sorted in the order of the remaining period of group purchase. If the remaining period of group purchase is also the same, the time at which the product is uploaded to the central server 20 (eg, the time when product registration is requested from the seller terminal 30) is arranged in the earliest order.

After generating and/or calculating the final group purchase list, the central server 20 may transmit the final group purchase list to the group purchaser terminal 10 (S330).

The group purchaser terminal 10 that has received the final group purchase list may display the group purchase list in the order of the number of group purchase applicants (S340).

In this way, a plurality of group purchasers first check the group purchase products with many group purchasers in the group purchaser terminal 10 , thereby increasing the group purchase success rate. In addition, a plurality of group purchasers may have an opportunity to access products having a high group purchase progress rate without spending much time and effort.

5 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a display of the group purchaser terminal 10 supporting non-face-to-face group purchase according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the group purchaser terminal 10 may receive the group purchase list from the central server 20 and display the group purchase list on the display unit 15 of the group purchaser terminal 10 . In this case, the group purchase list may vary according to location information and product category set by the group purchaser. In the case of FIG. 5, as an example, the user sets the group purchase product category to upper garments and inputs "Samsung-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul" as location information. In addition, the group purchase list displays the product brand name, discount rate, minimum group purchase number, group purchase applicants, and product photos for each group purchase product. As described above, among group purchase products in which a plurality of group purchasers who have input proximity location information are group purchase candidates, group purchase products are arranged in the order of the number of group purchase candidates compared to the minimum group purchase number. When a group buyer selects a product of interest, a screen as shown on the right appears, and a purchase decision or a cancellation decision can be selected.

The joint purchaser terminal 10 stores the purchase decision or cancellation decision selected by the user as purchase intention information, and transmits the purchase intention information to the central server 20 . When the stored purchase intention information corresponds to a purchase decision, the group purchaser terminal 10 displays a screen requesting payment for the product, then receives payment information from the group purchaser, and transmits the payment information to a bank or a credit card company The payment is processed by sending it to a server operated by the company. The transmission of the purchase intention information by the group purchaser terminal 10 to the central server 20 is executed when payment for the group purchase product is completed.

In addition, when the purchase intention information is a purchase decision, the group purchaser terminal 10 transmits a group purchase request for the product to the central server 20 , and the central server 20 transmits a plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 . When the group purchase request received from the group meets the criteria for group purchase, the adjacent unmanned storage box 40 is selected (S500).

Whether the group purchase criterion is satisfied refers to a case in which the number of group purchase requests received from the plurality of group purchase terminals 10 is equal to or greater than the minimum number of group purchases. If the number of group purchase requests is smaller than the minimum number of group purchases, it is deemed that the group purchase criteria are not met. If the group purchase criteria are not met, the central server 20 adds group purchase applicants to the selected group purchase product, creates a group purchase list, and stores the list in the database.

4 is a flowchart according to an embodiment showing a method for the central server 20 of the present invention to select the unmanned storage box (40).

Referring to FIG. 4 , the central server 20 selects the unmanned storage box 40 based on the coordinates included in the location information and the product receiving distance ( S510 ).

That is, the central server 20 may select the specified unmanned storage box 40 from among a plurality of unmanned storage boxes according to a predetermined criterion.

Here, the selection of the unmanned storage box 40 is performed using the coordinates (eg, GPS coordinates including latitude and longitude) included in the location information received from the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 , and the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 ) may be based on a process of determining and/or setting a center point corresponding to the location information. At this time, the group purchaser terminal, which sets the product receiving distance among the plurality of group purchaser terminals 10 to a preset threshold distance (eg, 1 [km], 4 [km], 10 [km], etc.) or more, obtains the central point. are excluded from the coordinates for The central server 20 selects a predetermined number (eg, 5) of unmanned storage boxes 40 in the order of being closest to the central point. In this regard, ① if the unmanned storage box 40 is selected in consideration of a group purchaser who has an excessively high product pickup distance, it may be too far from the location of other group purchasers, and ② a joint purchase with an excessively high product pickup distance. It is considered that there is no problem in selecting the unmanned storage box 40 except that the person wishing to purchase is a person who is willing to purchase even if it is received at any location. Through this, the plurality of group purchasers may receive the group purchase product in a non-face-to-face manner with other group purchasers in the unmanned storage box 40 at a nearby location.

As a next step, the central server 20 reselects the unmanned storage box 40 based on the distance to the subway station and bus stop among the selected unmanned storage boxes 40 (S520).

The central server 20 receives and stores transportation convenience information on the locations of subway stations and bus stops around the selected unmanned storage box 40 from an external server (not shown). Here, the method of reselecting the unmanned storage box 40 calculates a score based on transportation convenience information for each of the five unmanned storage boxes 40, and selects the two unmanned storage boxes 40 in the order of the lowest distance score. The score calculation method calculates a score by adding up i) the distance from each unmanned locker 40 to the nearest subway station and ii) the distance from each unmanned locker 40 to the nearest bus stop.

As another embodiment, the central server 20 may reselect the unmanned storage box 40 based on the cleanliness among the unattended storage boxes 40 selected in step S510 .

The method of reselection of the unmanned storage box 40 based on cleanliness is based on the average number of times the unmanned storage box 40 is used per month for each unattended storage box 40, the quarantine time of the unmanned storage box 40, and/or the monthly average quarantine cycle to select the unmanned storage box (40).

Specifically, the central server 20 receives the cleanliness information from each unmanned storage box 40, and then calculates a cleanliness score for each unmanned storage box 40 based on the cleanliness information, and the cleanliness score is high. A predetermined number (eg, two) of unmanned storage boxes 40 may be selected in order.

The method of calculating the cleanliness score is (-)5 points when the monthly average number of uses of the unmanned storage box (40) is 100 or more, (+)1 point when 50 or more and less than 100 times, and (+)5 points when less than 50 times. method of charging. In addition, (+)1 point if the quarantine time of the unmanned locker 40 is less than 30 minutes, (+)3 points if the quarantine time is 1 hour or more, (+)2 points if the average monthly quarantine cycle is less than 1 time, 4 points if the average quarantine period is less than 1 time charge a point The cleanliness score can be calculated by imposing 1 (+) point per day for the period from the date of last quarantine to the current unmanned storage box (40) calculation date.

As another embodiment, the central server 20 may reselect the unattended locker 40 based on the stability (and/or stability score) among the unattended lockers 40 selected in step S510 .

The method of reselection of the unmanned storage box 40 of the above stability standard is based on the floating population information within a radius of 3 [km] for each unmanned storage box 40, the number of CCTVs, the number of accumulated item thefts, and the distance to the nearby police station. The unmanned storage box 40 is selected.

Specifically, the central server 20 receives the stability information from each unmanned box 40, and then calculates a stability score for each unattended box 40 based on the stability information, and the stability score is high Two unmanned storage boxes 40 may be selected in order. In this case, the central server 20 may receive and store real-time floating population information within a radius of 3 [km] of each unmanned storage box 40 from an external server. The external server may correspond to a public data portal hosted by a city (eg, Seoul) included in the location information provided by the joint purchaser terminal.

The calculation method of the stability score is (-)3 points when the floating population within a radius of 3 [km] from the unmanned storage box 40 is 5,000 or more per hour, (-)2 points when there are 3,000 or more and less than 5,000 people per hour, 3,000 per hour If there are fewer than one person, (+)1 point is awarded. The reason for calculating this score is that the probability of crime such as theft is high in proportion to the number of floating population per hour. In addition, (+)3 points per number of CCTVs within a radius of 3 [km] of the unmanned locker (40), and (+) 1 point per 1 [km] of the distance to the nearest police station.

In the reselection step (S520) of the unmanned storage box 40, the unmanned storage box may be reselected by adding up not only transportation convenience information, but also cleanliness and stability scores.

Next, the central server 20 transmits the reselected two unmanned storage boxes 40 information to the terminal of the group purchase contributor (S530).

Here, the group purchase contributor means the group buyer who most invited a plurality of other group purchasers who proceed with group purchase for the same group purchase product among group purchasers who have made a purchase decision. When a purchase decision is made for the group purchase product, the group purchaser terminal 10 may receive recommender information for the group purchase product and transmit the recommender information to the central server 20 together with the purchase intention information. The central server 20 may store the recommender information in a database, and select a group purchaser terminal corresponding to a group purchase contributor based on the stored recommender information.

In addition, as another method, when a group purchaser terminal 10 receives an invitation link from another group purchaser who has made a purchase decision, and the group purchaser of the terminal makes a purchase decision for the group purchase product through the invitation link, similarly, joint purchasers The purchaser terminal 10 may transmit recommender information interpreted from the invitation link to the central server 20 . The central server 20 selects the group purchaser who invited the most plurality of group purchasers as the group purchase contributor based on the recommender information. The group purchase contributor may select one unmanned storage box 40 among the two unmanned storage boxes 40 . When the group purchase contributor selects the unmanned storage box 40 , the terminal of the group purchase contributor transmits the selected unattended storage box 40 information to the central server 20 .

The central server 20 may receive the selected unattended storage box 40 information from the terminal of the group purchase contributor (S540).

Next, the central server 20 that has received the unmanned storage box 40 information selects one selected unattended storage box 40 as the adjacent unmanned storage box 40 (S550).

2 and 5 , the central server 20 transmits group purchase and unmanned storage box 40 information to the seller terminal 30 . The group purchase information includes personal information of a plurality of group purchasers who have made a purchase decision, and information about the group purchase product and the number of purchased products. The unmanned storage box 40 information includes the location of the unmanned storage box 40 , the size in which the product can be received, and the number of the unmanned storage boxes 40 that can be reserved. After that, when the seller decides to sell the group purchase product, the seller terminal 30 transmits a sale decision signal to the central server 20 . The central server 20 reserves the unmanned storage box 40 when receiving a sales decision signal from the seller terminal 30 .

The central server 20 sets a penalty to the group purchaser matching the unmanned storage box when the product provided through the group purchase service is not received despite a predetermined period from the date it is stored in the unmanned storage box 40 can

For example, when the price of a product subject to the group purchase service is equal to or greater than the reference price, a first penalty proportional to the price of the product may be set to the group purchaser.

As another example, if the price of a product subject to the group purchase service is equal to or higher than the reference price and an expiration date is set for the product, the group purchaser is subject to the first penalty in proportion to the date the expiration date has passed. A second penalty multiplied by 3 weights may be set. That is, when the price of the product is equal to or greater than the reference price and the expiration date is set for the product, the penalty set to the group purchaser is set at a higher value as the price of the product increases, and the higher the value over time will be set

In addition, the group purchaser terminal of the group purchaser who exceeds the reference penalty by continuously accumulating the penalty in this way may be controlled by the central server 20 to be excluded when setting the above-mentioned central point.
