Description

A package payment and delivery method using a common shopping cart in a computer network shopping}

The present invention provides a method for providing a batch shopping and delivery service on a computer network, such as the Internet, and more specifically, is connected to various shopping service providers to integrate information on products purchased from various shopping service providers into a common shopping cart. To store, manage, pay at once, and deliver goods in bulk.

The most representative of the e-commerce activities currently performed on the Internet is B2C (Business to Customer) transactions in the form of shopping malls. Such shopping on the Internet may be classified into a single store form for promoting and selling a product produced by the Internet, and a shopping mall form for joining various store companies and integrating and promoting their products.

A single store is a form that contains only products manufactured by a single manufacturer, and customers can efficiently shop if they know the website URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the store that handles the product they want to purchase. In some cases, it is cumbersome to try to visit the website several times in order to find a store that deals with the product to be purchased. In addition, companies have a lot of manufactured goods, so it is difficult to adopt them unless they are large enough to run an internet shop independently.

An internet shop in the form of a shopping mall is a collection of many kinds of shops, and it is efficient for a customer to access a shopping mall site and purchase various items, and even a small shop does not need to operate its own website. When entering the store, it is convenient because the shopping mall operator acts for promotion and sales. Product transactions with customers are made between the customer and the mall operator. That is, when a customer selects a desired product and pays with an online deposit or a credit card, the shopping mall operator receives the product from the store belonging to the product and delivers it to the customer, and delivers the selling price to the store. A transaction is made. Of course, payment can be made with the company and the delivery company can be responsible for the payment. In this case, the shopping mall operator is only responsible for the promotion and sales agency. Technically, such a shopping mall allows a number of shops to allocate a certain server space to a central web server and store their product data in the space. Each company's web page is linked from the homepage.

However, even if a shopping mall is made up of multiple companies, not only does it cover all the products but also the same kind of products have different prices and quality in each shopping mall. Few.

Therefore, a customer visits various shopping mall sites, searches for, determines, and purchases the most optimal product. The customer has to register as a member for each shopping mall site and enter his / her financial information about payment. There has been a problem in terms of maintaining security in that personal and financial information is disclosed in various places. In addition, the information about the products they have purchased is distributed to several shopping mall servers, which not only makes management difficult, but also causes confusion because the payment method is different for each shopping mall. It is possible, however, as is impossible in other shopping malls, when purchasing multiple products from multiple sites at once, it was difficult to check whether all the desired products were properly delivered because they were delivered to different times. In addition, each shopping mall has a double fee for billing and delivery, and although the total purchase amount exceeds the free shipping amount, the amount of the product purchased at one shopping mall is small. In addition, even though there are more favorite products in other shopping malls, the purchase may be ended at one shopping mall in order to save shipping costs.

On the other hand, there is a Korean patent application (Application No. 1998-037559) filed by IBM as an invention for collectively providing information about products retrieved from various shopping malls, the invention is prescribed in the web browser of the purchase client Program is installed, and each independent transaction session is started when the user connects to a shopping mall to purchase a product, and when each transaction session is completed (that is, after searching for a product in the shopping mall), the corresponding transaction information Are collected and stored on the client's computer. Therefore, information about the products retrieved by visiting various shopping malls is stored in the client computer, and the customer finally decides the product to purchase based on the stored information. Once the purchased product is determined, the shopping mall is visited again to purchase the desired product.

According to the present invention, there is an advantage of facilitating the decision of the product to be purchased by storing the information about the searched product by visiting various shopping malls in one place and showing it to the customer. Therefore, it does not solve the problems as described above, that is, excessive disclosure of financial information due to independent payment for each shopping mall, and waste of cost due to an independent delivery system.

In order to compensate for the above-mentioned disadvantages, the present invention seeks to be connected to various shopping malls-ultimately all shopping malls-servers, so that the products purchased by the customer visiting the various shopping malls are stored in the common shopping cart. It is to provide a collective payment and delivery service of Internet shopping that displays, pays the purchase price of the goods collectively, and delivers the purchased goods to the customers collectively.

The bulk payment and bulk delivery service is different from the shopping mall where several shoppers move in as follows. Conventional shopping malls, although companies dealing with various products are located in the shopping mall web server by hosting, the batch payment and delivery server according to the present invention is configured and operated independently of the shopping mall server. In other words, the service according to the present invention does not directly handle the goods, but only acts for the settlement and delivery of Internet shopping in the shopping mall affiliated with the service.

If you look at the advantages of using this service for each part, customers can check the type and price of goods purchased in various shopping malls through a common shopping cart, and save shipping costs because several products can be delivered at once. In addition, all goods are delivered at the same time, making it easy to check the goods. In addition, the One-Stop Payment is convenient, and it is more secure for users to disclose financial information such as their credit card number, account number and password in only one place.

For the shopping mall, it is convenient because it is freed from each member's shopping cart management, payment, and delivery management, and only the product management is required. This can be much cheaper than the payment and shipping agency requires. (Actually, domestic payment agencies currently require 3% card company fee, 2% agency fee and annual fee.) In addition, customers purchase goods at shopping malls that require a separate shipping fee or a shipping fee for small purchases. In this case, additional merchandise may be additionally purchased at other shopping malls in order to save shipping costs, thereby increasing sales of the entire affiliate shopping mall. Also, once you have the reputation and credibility of a bulk payment and bulk shipping service provider, you can attract potential customers who don't shop on the web because they are concerned about the security of their personal information on the Internet or who are suspicious of their creditworthiness. Improve performance.

The bulk payment and delivery service provider according to the present invention receives a predetermined amount of shipping charges from various shopping malls, and thus, only one time of delivery can be used to enjoy the profit of the shipping fee, and the payment method of the financial institution is the closing price type (based on the total transaction amount). In the case of a flat type (the same fee is charged per transaction regardless of the transaction amount), the savings fee is paid when the products purchased from various shopping malls are collectively paid. You can do In addition, it will be possible to import ads through banner advertisements and similar product search services.

Of course, the above description of the collective payment does not apply only to shopping malls that sell specific types of goods, but may apply to all goods and services traded on the Internet.

As described above, the collective payment and delivery service of the Internet shopping according to the present invention can provide benefits to all customers, companies, and the service provider, and is expected to greatly contribute to the activation and popularization of electronic commerce through the Internet.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for storing and confirming items purchased in various Internet shopping malls in a common shopping cart and performing payments collectively.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of collectively checking a product stored in a common shopping cart, collectively paying for the price, and delivering the settled product to a corresponding customer.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an independent batch transaction and delivery service server connected to various shopping mall servers through the Internet, and to check and collect the transaction contents between the customer and each shopping mall to provide services as described above. The present invention provides a batch payment and delivery method for internet shopping.

3 is a flowchart illustrating the overall flow of the web shopping batch payment / delivery service according to the present invention.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure in which information about a product is transmitted and stored in a common shopping cart in a batch payment / delivery server.

5A to 5C are examples of a website for providing a web shopping collective payment / delivery service according to the present invention. FIG. 5A is a screen showing information stored in a common shopping cart, and FIG. 5C shows a screen for inputting payment information.

The present invention for achieving the above object consists of the following steps.

A web shopping batch payment / delivery method using an independent batch payment / delivery server connected to various shopping mall servers and customer computers through a computer network, and a common shopping cart provided in the server, wherein the server is configured to provide a customer with at least one shopping mall. In the case of purchasing a product, a first step of sequentially receiving shopping mall information and product information by each shopping, and storing the shopping mall information and the product information in the common shopping cart database under the name of the corresponding customer, and the server may request the shopping cart information from the common shopping cart. In the second step of transmitting and displaying the stored goods (shopping cart) information to the customer's computer, and when the shopping is terminated and the customer makes a request for payment, the server adds to the purchase price of the goods stored in the common shopping cart. A third step of making a payment in bulk, and the web shopping The parenthesis payment / delivery method providers consist of a fourth step of delivery to the customer accepts the transfer of goods purchased from its shopping mall in batches.

The first step described above is performed by using the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) FORM and the web browser's cookie function. When each shopping step is selected, the customer selects to add the product to the common shopping cart. The shopping mall server transmits the information of the product selected by the customer and the shopping mall information to the batch payment / delivery server using the HTML FORM function, and at the same time, the web browser of the customer is unique to the customer stored by the cookie function. A number is transmitted to the batch payment / delivery server, and the batch payment / delivery server performs by storing the received product information and shopping mall information in the common shopping cart database using the unique number (ID) of the customer as a key. do.

In more detail, when a shopping mall site affiliated with the service includes a product to be purchased after a product search, the shopping cart may select an item to be included in a shopping cart of the shopping mall itself. You can select items to be in the common shopping cart on the bulk payment / delivery server. When the customer chooses to store the product in the common shopping cart for the first time, the shopping mall web server uses the HTML FORM function to deliver information about the product to be purchased (product code, product name, price, etc.) in advance. , Quantity, etc.) and information on a shopping mall (such as a shopping mall code previously given by a batch payment / delivery server) are transmitted from a web browser of a customer computer to a batch payment / delivery server according to the present invention. At this time, the web browser of the customer computer transmits the product information and the shopping mall information to the batch payment / delivery server, and simultaneously transmits the ID of the customer previously received from the batch payment / delivery server using a cookie function. . If the customer is the first customer using the joint shopping cart, since the customer's ID is not stored as a cookie in the customer's web browser, the web browser does not transmit the customer's ID. The batch payment / delivery server receiving the product information, the shopping mall information, the customer ID information, etc. stores the product information and the shopping mall information using the customer ID as a key of the database, and then stores the information (the product information and Shopping mall information) to the customer's web browser to display. If the customer ID information is not transmitted, the batch payment / delivery server newly prepares the ID of the customer so as not to be duplicated with the IDs of other customers (described later in the following section), and then uses the ID as a key for the product information and the shopping mall information. At the same time, the customer ID is transmitted to the customer's web browser using a cookie and stored, and the information (product information and shopping mall information) in the common shopping cart is transmitted to the customer's web browser for display. . Afterwards, when the customer purchases additional products through another shopping mall and selects to add the joint shopping cart, the product information and the shopping mall information are additionally stored in the joint shopping cart using the customer ID as the key as described above. Information (product information and shopping mall information) is displayed to the customer.

There may be various methods of preparing the customer ID of the above-mentioned bulk payment / delivery server. The first method is to create a random payment / delivery server so that it does not overlap with other customer IDs. The second method is to operate the bulk payment / delivery service as a membership system. When you try to put a product, you have to go through the member login process first, and then use the member ID or a specific ID uniquely assigned to the member number as the customer ID. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to add many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The HTML FORM function described above is one of web mechanisms designed to allow a web browser to transmit information input by a web browser user or various information delivered by another web server to a CGI program executed on a web server. The following example is an example of an HTML file generated by the shopping mall server to display detailed product information and a button for putting in a common shopping cart in a web browser of the customer, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to such code.

<HTML>

<BODY>

... // detailed description of product picture, product price, etc.

<FORM METHOD = "POST"

ACTION = "http://www.e-cart.com/cgi-bin/addproduct2cart.cgi">

<INPUT TYPE = submit VALUE = "Add to Common Cart">

<INPUT TYPE = hidden NAME = productcode VALUE = "p001">

<INPUT TYPE = hidden NAME = productname VALUE = "TV (29)">

<INPUT TYPE = hidden NAME = productprice VALUE = "900000">

<INPUT TYPE = hidden NAME = productquantity VALUE = "1">

<INPUT TYPE = hidden NAME = mallcode VALUE = "MallA">

</ FORM> </ BODY> </ HTML>

When the example HTML file is displayed in the customer's web browser, the customer checks the detailed information of the product and then recalls it by using the <INPUT TYPE = submit VALUE = "add to cart"> sentence in the FORM tag of the HTML file. Clicking the "Add to Cart" button also displayed in the web browser indicates that the product is to be put in the cart. The customer web browser then sends the HTML to the CGI program named addproduct2cart.cgi in the batch payment / delivery server according to the present invention, indicated by the URL http://www.e-cart.com/cgi-bin/addproduct2cart.cgi. INPUT values in the file's FORM tag (productcode: p001, productname: TV (29), productprice: 900,000, productquantity: 1, mallcode: MallA in the example above) ) Will be sent. As shown in the above example, the shopping mall server displays the product information to the customer by generating the HTML file as in the above example, provides a button to the common shopping cart, and simultaneously displays the product information and the shopping mall information through the customer's web browser. It will be sent to the bulk payment / delivery server.

The above-mentioned "cookie" is an Internet technique that can be used by a web server to store and retrieve information about a client, and is a digital file of 4K bytes or less. When a client visits a given website, the website server sends a cookie to the client's computer, which contains the client's unique ID and the name of the webpage that he or she has visited or has visited in the past. It contains client-related information such as ID, password, and credit card number. These cookies are sent to the client computer and stored on the hard disk. The next time the client connects to the web server, the client computer's web browser sends the cookie already stored on the hard disk to the web server. Therefore, the web server confirms the identity of the client through the cookie, thereby eliminating the need to re-enter information such as ID, password, and credit card number. In other words, a cookie is an Internet mechanism that allows a web server to embed information on the client side and take it if necessary.

This cookie format consists of name, value, expiration, path, and so on. When the client's web browser connects to the batch payment / delivery web server according to the present invention and requests a web page (for example, in the case of the above HTML file example, the client clicks the button in the common shopping cart to send the batch payment / delivery web) When accessing the CGI program named addproduct2cart.cgi on the server while transmitting the product information and the shopping mall information), the batch payment / delivery web server completes the process of preparing the customer ID and storing the product information and the shopping mall information. The following cookie is also included in the HTTP response header while transmitting the information (product information and shopping mall information) in the common shopping cart to be displayed on the customer's web browser to the web browser according to the protocol of the web server (such as HTTP). Deliver to customer browser. In addition to the name, expiration date, and path, the cookie may further include items related to domain and secure.

Set-Cookie: ID = customer001; expires = wednesday, 09-Nov-99 23:12:40 GTM; path = /

In the example above, we are sending customer001 as the value of a cookie named ID. As additional information, expires specifies the length of time to store cookies, and path indicates that the customer's web browser will access the batch payment / delivery web server again (perhaps to add another product to the common shopping cart) within the time specified in expires. When a web page is requested, if the web page is in a subdirectory of the directory specified by path, the request is made to include the ID cookie in the HTTP request header. In the above example, the path is specified as root (/), so whenever the customer's web browser accesses the bulk payment / delivery web server, the value of the ID cookie customer001 will be sent to the bulk payment / delivery web server.

The cookie transmitted and stored in the customer's web browser by the method as in the above example is transmitted to the batch payment / delivery web server whenever the customer's web browser subsequently accesses the batch payment / delivery web server according to the present invention. Therefore, the CGI program of the batch payment / delivery web server must extract the customer ID transmitted by the cookie function together with the product information and shopping mall information transmitted by the customer's web browser by the FORM function. To this end, the CGI program of the batch payment / delivery web server extracts the cookie values sent by the customer's web browser, for example, using the following C language program statement.

getenv ("HTTP_COOKIE");

In addition, in order to extract the product information and shopping mall information transmitted by the web browser by using the FORM function, the following C language program statement is used to find the length of the transmission information, and then the standard input command such as getchar () is used. Extract product information and shopping mall information.

getenv ("CONTENT_LENGTH");

The following is an example of source code of a CGI program of a batch payment / delivery web server in C language, and is not necessarily limited to such code.

#include <stdio.h>

void main (void)

{

getenv ("CONTENT_LENGTH");

... // product information, shopping mall information extraction

getenv ("HTTP_COOKIE");

... // Extract Customer ID Cookie

if (id [0] == '\ 0')

... // Handle if customer ID information was not sent by web browser

else

... // Handle when customer ID information is sent from web browser

… // Save product information and shopping mall information using customer ID

printf ("HTTP / 1.0 200 OK＼r＼n");

printf ("Set-Cookie: ID =% s; path = / \ r \ n", id);

printf ("Content-type: text / html＼r＼n");

printf ("＼r＼n");

printf ("<HTML> ＼n");

… // the information of the common shopping cart to be displayed in the web browser

printf ("</ HTML> ＼n");

}

Therefore, when the customer chooses to put the product to purchase in the joint shopping cart, the batch payment / delivery server according to the present invention extracts the product information and the shopping mall information transmitted by the shopping mall server via the customer's web browser, and the customer ID. Is extracted from the cookie. At this time, if the customer ID has not been transmitted from the customer's web browser, the customer ID is prepared using one of the above-described methods. After storing the product information and the shopping mall information using the customer ID as a key, the contents of the joint shopping cart are sent to the customer's web browser in the form of an HTML file and displayed to the customer. In this case, by including the Set-cookie statement specifying the customer ID in the response header, the client's web browser simultaneously stores the customer ID as a cookie, and then adds another product to the common shopping cart and sends it to the batch payment / delivery server again. The customer ID cookie is also transmitted when access is made.

In accordance with the flow, information about the customer and the purchased goods is stored in a common shopping cart database (or similar storage device) within the batch payment / delivery server, and sent to the customer for display. After confirming the product in the common shopping cart, the customer selects a payment method for the product and finally expresses a purchase intention, thereby completing the third step, the payment process. In order to perform the payment for the commodity, any payment system that is performed in a normal electronic commerce can be used. For example, it may be performed by one or more methods selected from a method of receiving credit card information of a customer and making a payment, a method of allowing a customer to transfer money online, and a method of using another payment agent service. Of course, other various methods such as electronic cash / checks such as ecash and Mondex, debit cards and electronic fund transfers can be used. In addition, any security method such as SSL or SET may be used to protect financial information in such a payment system.

For reference, the authentication / security system currently used in electronic commerce, payment (electronic payment) system and the like briefly described as follows. Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (SHTTP) or SSL (SHTTP) to authenticate the buyer (client) and seller's legitimacy in the transaction, and to ensure the privacy and integrity of the communication between the buyer and the seller. Internet security protocols such as Secure Sockers Layer may be used. In addition, the SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) protocol may be used to authenticate merchants and cardholders for electronic payment. In general, an electronic payment system that provides a security service is used on the Internet, so that financial information such as a buyer's credit card number is secured from being hacked by another person during transmission. Must have an encryption / decryption system. When the encrypted buyer's financial information, for example credit card information, is received at the seller's server, such as a shopping mall, the server decodes (decrypts) the credit card information according to a predetermined appointment and accordingly the buyer's credit card company Asks for payment approval and payment is made if approved.

In addition, although the collective payment / delivery service provider according to the present invention may operate a direct payment / payment system, an electronic payment service (payment / payment agency service) by a third party may be used if necessary. Such third-party electronic payment services include Cybercash, First Virtual, and NetBill, and the server of these electronic payment services allows buyers and sellers as members. Afterwards, the application transfers transaction information and financial information between the buyer and the seller to a bank or credit card company in a secure state. Such third-party electronic payment service is provided between the seller and the buyer's bank to receive the payment, there is an advantage that the electronic payment is possible without notifying the seller's financial information to the seller.

The present invention aims to purchase a product while visiting several shopping malls, and to collectively check, settle, and receive the goods, but may also be applied to a purchase of a product at a single shopping mall. That is, each step may be performed at the time of purchasing a product in one shopping mall, but the first step or the second step is performed while a customer visits two or more shopping malls and purchases a product, respectively. It can be done after the customer has finished shopping.

In the delivery of the purchased goods made in the fourth step, the collective payment / delivery service provider according to the present invention receives the goods purchased by the customer from each shop and delivers them to the customer at once. The delivery of such goods may be used in a manner used by ordinary shopping malls, that is, a shopping mall operator directly providing a delivery service, or requesting and operating another shipping specialist.

In addition, the bulk payment / delivery service provider according to the present invention performs settlement for each affiliated shopping malls and products sold for a predetermined period (for example, one month).

The collective payment / delivery service according to the present invention is operated by joining various shopping malls as members or affiliated companies. Batch payment / delivery service website provides links to affiliate shopping malls. Customers visit the affiliated shopping mall's servers, purchase the necessary products, and finally pay the price through the bulk payment / delivery server. You will pay. That is, the bulk payment / delivery website according to the present invention is operated as a "shopping portal site", and the purpose is to enable any Internet shopping by the customer simply by accessing the bulk payment / delivery website. .
