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

1 is a schematic diagram of a network configuration according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, member computers A, B, C, D 101, buyer computers E, F 102, computers of a financial institution 103, computers of a supplier 104, and parcel delivery. Computers 105 of the company are connected to the e-commerce company server system 1 via a communication network such as the Internet. Based on such a network configuration, first, an outline of the present invention will be described, and then a detailed description of each part will be given.

The outline of the present invention is as follows.

The member computers A, B, C, and D 101 receive the member's personal image information and the unique code information of the item to be sold from the member and transmit the received personal code information to the electronic commerce company server system 1. The purchaser F acquires the personal image information of the member A obtained by photographing the member A with a photographing apparatus such as a digital camera and the unique code information of the item worn or carried by the member A through the purchaser computer F 102. ). The e-commerce company server system 1 searches whether the personal image information, the article image information, and the unique code information received from the buyer F are stored in the database, and informs the buyer computer F 102 if the same information is stored. The purchaser orders the article having the corresponding article image information and the unique code information to the e-commerce company server system 1 through the purchaser computer F 102. The e-commerce company server system 1 notifies the supplier that delivers the ordered order fact. The supplier notifies the e-commerce company server system 1 through the supplier computer 104 of the production possibility obtained by checking the stock of the corresponding goods and confirming the production status. On the other hand, the fabric production company that produces the fabric so that the supplier can confirm the production possibility, the e-commerce company server system provides relevant data such as the amount of fabric production (for example, 1 million parcels) and the amount of fabric inventory (for example, 500,000 parcels). (1) Alternatively, the input should be arranged in advance on the supplier computer 104. The contents to be summarized may be composed of fabric manufacturing plant name, address, telephone number, production volume, inventory. Alternatively, enter information on the fabric manufacturer or raw material company, such as factory name, address, telephone number, production quantity, stock quantity, and finance of the fabric in advance.If the supplier enters the fabric code, the company producing the fabric You can configure the database to know.

When the e-commerce company server system 1 is informed from the supplier computer 104 that it can be produced, it requests a payment to the buyer computer F 102. The purchaser computer F 102 connects to the financial institution computer 103 to request payment approval, and the financial institution computer 103 grants the approval to the purchaser computer F 102 or the e-commerce company server system when the payment approval is allowed. Transfer to (1). Payment will be deposited and stored in the account of the e-commerce company.

The e-commerce company server system 1 orders the vendor computer 104 to produce the goods. At this time, the e-commerce company server system 1 provides the supplier computer 104 with more detailed order contents based on information entered at the time of purchase by the buyer, namely, body size, personal information such as personal information, and preference information such as the purchaser's disposition. . For example, if the buyer's body size is smaller than average and the buyer prefers tight clothing, the information is also provided. As a result, a product having higher buyer satisfaction may be produced. On the other hand, the e-commerce company server system 1 transmits the information about the quantity of the goods, the buyer F to the courier company computer 105.

The supplier produces the goods based on the order information provided from the e-commerce company server system 1. When the production is completed, the supplier computer 104 connects to the courier computer 105 to notify the completion of the production. In this case, it is more preferable to inform the courier a day before the production is completed to facilitate the delivery. The courier takes the goods from the vendor and delivers them to buyer F. At this time, the courier will receive a signature confirming receipt of the goods from the buyer. The signature received can be used as proof for payment of the delivery fee. The e-commerce company server system 1 pays the supplier after a mandatory period (e.g., 10 days) for receiving an objection from the buyer F due to the defect of the goods. Similarly, the courier will pay the courier fee.

If there is an objection from the buyer F, the e-commerce company server system (1) screens the defects of the supplier or the courier based on the content of the objection, and requests for reimbursement. To this end, a contract is concluded between the supplier and the e-commerce company, and between the courier and the e-commerce company, and the necessary compensation insurance is insured. Further, the e-commerce company server system 1 refunds the price of the goods or reproduces the goods according to the buyer's request. Typically, however, the e-commerce company terminates the merchandise sales process by having the courier deliver the goods to buyer F, receive the goods, and receive a signature confirming that the goods received are intact.

In particular, the courier may operate as a department or subsidiary of an e-commerce company or may be established separately from the e-commerce company to cooperate with each other.

In addition, when requesting delivery to a supplier, a courier may be requested together with the courier information. Accordingly, when the goods requested for delivery are completed, the supplier notifies the courier, and the courier notifies the e-commerce company that the courier is completed after the courier is completed, and the settlement price and the courier price are settled.

In addition, the purchaser photographs not only the clothes and accessories worn by the member, but also the items that the member does not currently wear (for example, the goods at home) by photographing equipment such as a digital camera and the e-commerce company server system (1 ) Can be ordered. To this end, the member must input the goods image information and the unique code information of the goods into the e-commerce company server system 1 in advance, and there must be information about the supplier of the goods. In addition, a member of a clothing retailer, etc. may produce advertisements, fashion papers, and the like, and register the product image information and the unique code information of the articles, such as clothing, on the e-commerce company server system 1. Accordingly, the purchaser can shoot the product image information and unique code information for the article such as personal information, clothing, etc. loaded on the advertising paper, fashion paper with the photographing equipment and order it to the e-commerce company server system (1).

Members A, B, C, D 101 and buyers E, F 102 can always change their roles. That is, members A, B, C, and D 101 may also be buyers, and buyers may also become members and sell goods. In addition, there can be hundreds of thousands of vendors, as there are tens of millions of sellers and buyers (members).

The e-commerce company distributes the profits to seller A, the supplier and the courier. For example, in the case of garments, it is estimated that 1 million units, which is 10% of the total population of 10 million Seoul, will be produced, and the advertising effect ratio of garments for members corresponding to 10,000 units, which is 10% of 100,000 units, which is 10% of the amount produced. The dividend amount is determined on the assumption that it will be paid.
