The present invention relates to an electronic commerce method and an electronic commerce system, and more particularly, to a price destruction electronic commerce method and an electronic commerce system, which enables a purchaser to purchase at a price much lower than a sale price fixed for a product between shopping malls. It is about.

The communication means that make up the network such as LAN and WAN such as WAN are gradually increasing in speed and capacity with ISDN, leased line, etc. As multimedia communication service is widely used in the whole society, the Internet is essential in real life and is a means of various communication. Got caught.

As the Internet becomes more popular, electronic commerce is rapidly taking place in the virtual space of the Internet, which is a traditional commerce practice in which a buyer and a seller directly contact and buy goods in a limited space where a spot is presented.

Currently, the e-commerce method is an Internet mall-of-moles in which a store that wishes to sell through the Internet sells a product by setting up a separate corner in an existing large shopping mall, and bids to purchase a product that buyers want. It is classified into an auction method of commerce, a reverse auction method of commerce, and a general cyber shopping mall method, in which a buyer responds to a bid at a low price to supply a desired product.

Among these e-commerce methods, the cyber shopping mall is characterized in that a transaction is performed between a seller who opens a shopping mall homepage on a communication network, and a buyer who wants to enter the shopping mall and purchases a product by using a computer.

The shopping mall, after accessing the shopping mall homepage opened on the Internet, examines the appearance and product information provided by the shopping mall on the computer screen, places an order for the products that the user wants to purchase using the order method provided by the shopping mall, After payment processing is performed, the payment is made in such a way that the ordered goods are delivered to the buyer. In addition, shopping malls operate a bonus point system that pays goods, prizes, and money depending on the degree of purchase when the subsidiary's products are repeatedly purchased to promote sales and attract fixed customers.

However, these shopping malls form a similar price range between the shopping malls for the products to be sold. As such, each shopping mall forms a fixed price range for the products sold, so no matter which shopping mall you use, you cannot purchase the same product at a fixed price without any price difference between the shopping malls. Since there is no price competition between shopping malls, there is a problem that the price is decided against the buyer. In addition, shopping malls set low bonus points for the purchase amount, so that buyers must repeatedly purchase the product for a long time to earn a reserve to receive a meaningful bonus. There is also a side issue that is not effective in attracting.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a price destruction electronic commerce method and an electronic commerce system that can provide a product to a buyer at a price very low than the fixed selling price formed between shopping malls with respect to the selling price of the product.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a network configuration including a price destruction electronic commerce system according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a seller server according to the present invention.

The price destruction e-commerce system is a seller server (1), which is connected to the user terminal (3) of buyers through the network (2), for example, LAN, WAN, Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN), It may consist of a Public Service Data Network (PSDN), a cable TV network, a wireless communication network, and the Internet is the most common example.

The controller 12 determines the amount of contributions that buyers must pay in order to present information about the prizes to the buyers and to raise the price of the prizes from the buyers who wish to purchase the prizes. Notify by decision.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a price destruction e-commerce method according to the present invention.

When the buyer connects to the seller server 1 through the network 2 through the user terminal 3 (S1), the initial screen provided by the seller server 1 is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 3 of the buyer. Entering the ID and password in the login menu presented on the initial screen extracts the information of the buyer from the buyer database 11 to confirm that the buyer is a member (S2). In the case of a non-member, if the personal information is input according to the registration procedure provided by the seller server 1, the inputted information is stored in the buyer database 11 and registered as a member (S3).

When the purchaser is authenticated as a member, the control unit 12 extracts the product information from the product information database 13 and presents a product list in which the type, quantity, and price of the products supplied by the seller are displayed on the user terminal 3 screen of the purchaser. (S4). Although a list of products in which product names, quantities, and prices of products are displayed, they may be displayed as image information containing the shapes of the products, and the form of presenting the product information may vary.

4 is a schematic diagram of a buyer user terminal screen displaying a product list according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a product name of a commodity that a seller can supply to a buyer, a price and a quantity of the commodity are displayed, and a product name is a web page in which a group of buyers who want to purchase the commodity can be purchased by forming a group. Is linked.

When the buyer selects a desired product from the list of presented products (S5), the user terminal (3) screen of the buyer is presented with a web page provided with groups for each amount of the corresponding amount of the selected product (S6).

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a web page in which a purchaser selects a desk from the product list according to FIG.

As shown, the top of the screen displays the price of the desk and the number of desks that the seller can provide, and the bottom corresponds to the number of desks by the amount divided by the number of participants. 10 groups are presented, and if a buyer selects a group from among several groups, the buyer is linked to enter the group, and the 10 groups participate in the group and participate in the group. Information about is provided. The current number of participants was displayed in the group by contribution amount at the same time as the contribution amount and the number of participants, but the current participant status of each contribution amount group can be presented on the connection initial screen provided by the seller server 1 by product type. There may be a variety of ways to display the participant's status.

The first group is divided into 20,000 won, which is the amount of the desk price divided by 18 people, which is 360,000 won, and 17 participants participated in the group. A contribution of 30,000 won, which is divided by 12 participants, is presented. There are currently 12 participants in the group. Groups by contribution amount can be prepared in various ways depending on the amount of participation determined. If the buyers who want to purchase the same product participate in the group that randomly presented the participation capacity in the seller's server, but the buyer who wants to purchase the same product enters the fixed time or enters the fixed time without setting the participation capacity. You can also decide to join the group.

On the other hand, all of the quantity of goods supplied by the seller can be sold by forming a group by the share amount, but some of the quantity of the goods may be sold in a manner that is sold in a general shopping mall. For example, if the number of desks is 10, 10 groups can be arranged and sold, and 5 out of 10 may be sold according to the general shopping mall sales method, and 5 may be prepared by selling 5 groups by the share amount. have.

When the buyer selects a group in which the desired contribution amount is displayed from the group by the contribution amount (S7), the control unit 12 retrieves the reserve information of the corresponding buyer from the buyer database 11 (S8) and the contribution amount of the group selected by the buyer's reserves. In the case of holding more than one, the contribution amount is deducted from the reserve and the group is allowed to participate in the group selected by the buyer. For example, a buyer who selects a second group out of 10 contribution groups will deduct the second group's contribution of 30,000 won from his reserves and participate in the group. Therefore, all 12 people who participated in the second group are deducted from their reserves by 30,000 won, and the price of the desk is collected by 360,000 won and paid to the seller who provides the desk. The reserve credited to the buyer may be a reserve credited from a site purchased by the merchant server and the product provided by the seller server 1 or operated by another server.

On the other hand, a participant will not be able to participate if his or her reserve does not hold more than the share of the group.

The buyer pays the contribution and then enters the selected group. If the participation capacity specified in the group is satisfied (S10), the controller 12 drives the lottery program to determine one of the participants of the group as the winner (S12). For example, if the deadline for the second group is 10 am, as soon as 12 attendees are formed at 10 am, one of the 12 will be chosen as the winner. The drawing method of the drawing program may be various, such as assigning a number to each group participant and selecting a participant who matches the drawn number as a winner, or presenting an instant lottery to be a winner. If the participation capacity is not met within the deadline, the lottery cannot be drawn until the entry capacity is met, and if the participation capacity is not met by the deadline (S11), the group will disappear without drawing the winner.

If the winner is determined through the lottery, the winner's product delivery address is extracted from the buyer database 11 and the prize is delivered (S13). For example, a desk will be delivered to the winner who wins by drawing in the second group. On the other hand, the winner may sell the prize again through the seller server (1). In addition, the buyer selects a product to purchase from the prize list and delivers the item to the winner. However, the buyer may want to purchase an intangible product. For example, in the case of a service ticket, the coupon can be provided to the winner. It may be delivered in a form.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the buyers who want to purchase the same product gather and pay the contribution amount for the product as a reserve and are selected as the winners among the buyers who paid the reserve, the corresponding product is paid only as the contribution amount. As a result, the number of shopping malls can be purchased at a much lower price than the fixed price for the product at various shopping malls.

In addition, by winning the winners, the winners will be interested and the buyers will need to make a deposit to participate in the group by share, so they will frequently use the shopping mall operated by the seller server to attract fixed customers. If the buyer purchases the product at a price lower than the price of the prize, all participants of the group by the amount of the prize winner participated pay each share and pay the seller the amount corresponding to the selling price of the prize. There is also a side effect of being able to sell without a price cut so that sellers do not lose money due to excessive price cuts.
