This includes all information that may affect other consumers' purchasing decisions and purchasing behavior, including price comparisons with other products, and buyer propensity analysis information.

Example 1

1 illustrates a configuration of a network system in which the method for providing product review information of the present embodiment is performed.

Referring to the drawings, the network system includes a user terminal 10, a product review information providing server 20 and a network 30 for interconnecting them.

The user terminal 10 requests the product review information providing server 20 to provide review information on a specific product, and provides the product review information request module to display and provide product review information provided according to the request. (Ie, user-side program) 16.

Preferably, the product review information request module 16 may be installed by being downloaded from the product review information providing server 20, which will be described later, or the user terminal via another computer-readable recording medium. 10) may be installed.

In addition, the user terminal 10 is a conventional system component, and loads a web page based on a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a website, and the web page is based on a Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML) code interpretation. And a browser program 14 for displaying on a monitor and an operating system (OS) program 12 for managing and controlling the computer system as a whole.

The product review information providing server 20 is a server computer that serves to provide product review information held for a plurality of users who are connected by using the product review information request module 16 described above. A product review information providing module 26 and a product review information database (DB) 28.

According to the present invention, the product review information providing server 20 may be regarded as a web server operating a consumer evaluation specialized site.

Since the member registration process is a general technical matter, a separate description is omitted.

In response to the user executing the login, the product review information providing server 20 executes member authentication of the user (step S106).

Since the subsequent process according to the execution result of the member authentication is a general known technique, the description thereof will be omitted by referring to steps S108 to S112.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the log-in process, steps S102 to S112 may be omitted.

Next, the logged-in user requests the product review information request module 16 to provide the desired product review information (step S114).

The above step may be performed by inputting and registering a name of a product for which the user wants review information in the product review information request module 16.

In response to this, the product review information request module 16 transmits the information of the product name registered by the user to the product review information providing server 20 and requests the provision of review information about the product (step S116).

At the same time as the product name is transmitted, the general information or the product review information providing server 20 obtains information of an IP address, which is a network address of the user terminal 10.

The product review information providing server 20 receives information of a brand name transmitted, searches for and extracts the review information about the product name from the product review information DB 28, and extracts the product information based on the obtained IP address. It is sent to the product review information request module 16 and provided (step S118).

The product review information request module 16 displays the provided review information (step S120), and the user acquires review information of a desired product by reading and confirming it (step S122).

4 schematically illustrates a product review information request module 16 with the review information provided in FIG. 4 displayed.

As shown, the upper portion 40a is a portion in which a user inputs and registers a desired product name for review information, and the lower portion 40b is a portion in which review information provided from the product review information providing server 20 is displayed. to be.

Currently, only the titles of the review information are displayed, and the user only needs to select a review title to read the reviews of each title.

Since the above processes are very general technical matters, further description will be omitted.

4 may be appropriately referred to in the description of FIG. 3 described above.

As described above, the process of providing the product review information providing method of the present embodiment is completed.

Example 2
