It consists of a terminal (or computer) 2 which directly operates, and the terminal (or computer) 5 which a sales-deskite directly operates.

Here, the terminals 2 and 5 manipulated by the purchaser and the seller are connected to the Internet (IP network) through the respective providers (providers or Internet service providers) 3 and 4 contracted by each user. ) Can be connected. In addition, a terminal operated by the purchaser and the purchaser is, for example, a main body having a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory (ROM / RAM), a display such as a CRT, a keyboard, a mouse, a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM. A general personal computer with a drive and a modem is used. As another example, a portable terminal such as a cellular phone, a PDA, a notebook, or the like may be used. In addition, the seller may be a general public, or may be a wholesale (or retail) operator who sells goods in an offline (or online) manner. The web server 1 is, for example, an internet site that provides various services through the Internet, such as insurance, travel application, shopping, etc., and accumulates cyber money according to the member's use of the site.

FIG. 9 shows a more detailed hardware configuration of the auction site 1 in FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 9, the controller 91 controls the overall operation of the auction site. The ROM 92 stores fixed programs and fixed parameters used by the control unit 91. The RAM 93 stores various programs executed by the control unit 91 and temporary data generated during program execution. The program area of the RAM 93 includes a member management module 93a for performing member registration and member authentication processing, a commerce processing module 93b for processing commerce generated through the use of a site, and auction processing related modules ( 93c to 93f). The auction processing-related modules are bidding according to the auction type with a goods registration module (93c) for registering and processing the goods of the seller connected through the Internet, a bid registration module (93d) for processing the buyer's bidding application, bidding history A successful bidder price determination module 93e for determining a price and a successful bidder determination module 93f for determining a successful bidder by a predetermined lottery method are included.

The external storage device 94 is a mass storage device and is composed of a hard disk, a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD, and the like. The database area of the external storage device 94 includes a member management database 94a for managing various member information and an auction management database 94b for managing auction items. Here, the member management database 94a stores information such as address, name, age, gender, birthday, contact, job, hobby, etc. of the user who registered the member, and the cyber money accumulated by the user through the use of the site. Manage. The auction management database 94b manages an auction type, auction type, item name, auction quantity, internal price, upper limit price, auction period, sales region, and the like.

The communication processing device 95 is a wired or wireless communication processing device, and supports communication between the auction site, the purchaser's terminal 2 and the seller's terminal 5. The input interface 96 is a data input means for connecting a mouse 96a, a keyboard 96b, and the like, which are pointing devices. The output interface 97 is various data output means and is connected to a display portion 67a such as a CRT, an LCD, a printer 96b for outputting a hard copy, or the like.

The operation of the modules 93a to 93f resident in the RAM 93 that characterizes the function of the auction site 1 will be described in more detail as follows.

The member management module 93a performs a registration process for the purchase desire user connected from the terminal 2 via the Internet 6. The member management module 93a stores the personal information of the purchaser's personal information in the member management database 94a, acknowledges participation in the auction for the purchaser, and issues an ID and a password (or a member). Registration), and returns the above-described registration processing result to the purchaser's terminal (2). On the other hand, the member management module 93a performs an authentication process for the member connected through the Internet (6). That is, the member management database 94a is searched with the ID and password inputted by the member, and if there is matching information, authentication success processing is performed.

The transaction processing module 93b is a function for processing various electronic commerce (shopping, events, entertainment, etc.) generated while a member connected through the Internet using the site, and accumulating cyber money according to the use of the member's site. Do this. For example, when a member purchases an article, the commerce processing module 93b reserves a predetermined portion of the article in cyber money. In addition, when a user clicks on a banner ad or applies for an event, a predetermined amount is accumulated in cyber money. The cyber money accumulated in this way is managed in the member management database 94a, and when the member participates in the auction, it can be used as a participation fee (or a bid and withdrawal).

The article registration module 93c performs a function of registering the auction article information inputted by the seller who wishes to access the site 1 in the auction management database 94b. Here, the auction item information may be, for example, auction type, product name, auction quantity, the internal price, the upper limit price, auction time, sales region and the like. The auction type includes a general lottery auction method, an upper limit price lottery auction method, a peeled-off lottery lottery auction method, and a simultaneous quotation type lottery auction method according to the present invention. When the auction item information is registered, the item registration module 93c creates (or updates) the auction item list as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the newly registered auction item is added to the auction item list.

The bid registration module 93d receives a bid request from a member who wishes to purchase, and assigns a bid number to the member. Here, the bid registration module (93d) divides the price bid by the member by the number of bids, calculates the bid 갹 withdrawal, compares whether the cyber money accumulated amount of the member is greater than the bid 갹 withdrawal, the cyber money accumulated amount is the bid 경우 Assign bid number if it is greater than withdrawal. If the amount of cyber money is less than the bidding and withdrawal, the user is asked whether or not to deposit the insufficient amount, and the bidding number is assigned only when the additional deposit is made. Here, the member applies for bidding through the screen as shown in FIG. 4, and as a result, confirms the bid number assignment table screen as shown in FIG. 5 through the terminal.

The successful bid price determining module 93e determines a plurality of lottery bidders and at least one successful bid price according to the registered auction type. The auction type includes a general lottery auction method, an upper limit lottery auction method, a peeled multi-sheet lottery auction method, and a simultaneous quotation type lottery auction method. Here, the bidding and withdrawal refund for the bidders dropped from the lottery target, and the bidding and withdrawal refund amount according to the determined successful bid price is refunded to the bidding target bidder. If the item is banned, the member may modify the auction conditions such as the auction type, the internal price, or the auction period of the banned item, and register again. In another example, the site 1 may automatically re-register by a predetermined method. It may be.

The successful bidder determination module 93f determines a successful bidder by performing a lottery based on a predetermined rule with respect to the determined plurality of lottery target bidders. For example, the successful bidder determination module 93f determines a successful bidder by drawing a bid price, a bidding time, a bidding number, a bidding number, a social security number, etc. of a bidder. Lottery target bidder determination, successful bid price determination and successful bidder determination method according to the auction type will be described in detail in the operation description of the present invention to be described later.

Hereinafter, the auction processing procedure according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention based on the configuration of Figure 8 and 9 will be described in detail. 1 is a view showing a schematic flow for explaining the overall operation of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a process S101 is a process in which a member accesses a dedicated server of an operator site (auction site 1) through the Internet. Process (S102) is a process for the member to enter the member information on the operator site. The process S101 is performed in the member management module 93a. Process S103 is a process in which a member generates an electronic commerce such as shopping. Process S104 is a process of accumulating cyber money to a member according to the electronic commerce. Steps S103 and S104 are performed by the commerce processing module 93b. Process S105 is a process in which the member accesses the lottery auction service. Process S106 is a process in which the member inquires auction items registered on the operator site. Process (S107) is a process for the member to select the auction item and apply for bidding. The process S107 is performed in the bid registration module 93d. Process S108 is a process in which the operator site closes the auction. Process (S109) is a process that the operator site determines the bidder and the winning bid price. The process S108 and the process S109 are performed in the successful bid price determining module 93e. Process S110 is a process of determining a successful bidder through a lottery among the bidders. The process S110 is performed by the successful bidder determination module 93f. The process (S111) consists of a process in which a member who wins the winning bidder receives the auction item.

Referring to the main portion of the above process of Figure 1 in more detail as follows.

In the process of inputting the member information (S102), the member inputs an ID, a password, etc. in order to receive the service provided by the operator site, and the member management module 93a of the operator site receives the member information. This is a process of registering in the management database 94a. The process of generating the electronic commerce (S103) is a process in which the member performs electronic commerce through the Internet such as insurance, travel application, shopping, etc. at the operator site. The process of accumulating the cyber money to the member (S104) is a process of accumulating the predetermined cyber money to the member by the commerce processing module 93b according to the transaction of the process S103. The process in which the member accesses the lottery auction service (S105) or the process of receiving the auction item (S111) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B as a core process of the present invention.

2A and 2B illustrate an auction processing train according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2A and 2B, in the process of accessing the lottery auction service by the member (S201), the member inputs an ID and a password, etc. in order to receive the lottery auction service provided by the operator's site through the Internet. The process of connecting.

In the process of registering the auction item (S202), the member who wants to sell the item through the internet lottery auction accesses the operator's site, enters the auction type 312, and then the item name 303 and auction quantity 304 of the item to be sold. Auction items are registered by inputting an internal price 305, an upper limit price, an auction period, a sales region, and the like, and the auction management database 94b stores the input auction item information. ) To register. Here, the auction item means all goods that can be sold, such as real estate, real estate, and services. In addition, the registration of an auction item allows the operator site to directly register the item to be sold. On the other hand, the fixed price is the lowest desired price that sellers would like to receive but usually serves as the starting price of the auction, but may not disclose it until the auction deadline to increase interest in the auction process. ) Means the price pre-specified when the seller registers the auction item so that the auction can be closed and the winner can be determined immediately before the auction period expires if the bid price is formed.

The registration details of the auction item registration process (S202) will vary slightly depending on the detailed auction type of the lottery auction. Referring to the auction type of the lottery auction, first, the general lottery auction method will allow the seller to register the auction item. When the auction period expires and the auction ends, the bidder 402 sequentially selects the bidders as many as the required bidders 306 from the bidders with the highest bidding price, and selects the selected bidders. The bidding price is determined by the lowest bidding price among the bidding price, and the bidding and withdrawal amount equal to the winning bidding price is equally extracted from the bidders who are the lottery winners. Secondly, the upper limit type lottery auction system inputs both the internal price and the upper limit price at the same time when the seller registers the auction item, and immediately auctions if the bid price is determined as the upper limit price even before the expiration of the auction period. It is a way to sell auction items early by closing the bid and determining the winners by lottery. Third, in the case of the peeled off type lottery auction method, when the seller registers the auction item, the higher the number of successful bids, the lower the price is entered. The bidding price is gradually lowered according to the number of successful bidders, the auction is continued until the auction deadline, and the lowest determined bid price is equally applied to all successful bidders, and the number of successful bidders is determined by lot to be. Fourth, the simultaneous price-based lottery auction system inputs the desired internal price and sales quantity from a number of sellers for any auction item specified by the operator's site, and enters bid price from bidders. After closing, the lowest bidding price is sequentially matched with the highest bidding price, and the winning bidding decision is made. The bidding price is determined as the winning bidding price and the same bidding price is applied to all successful bidding quantities. The method of determining the number of successful bidders among the bidders selected by the lottery can be said to be similar to the price determination method of simultaneous trading of stock trading. The above-mentioned four types of lottery auction methods of successful bidding pricing will be described in more detail when the future successful bidding pricing process S218 is described.

The process of creating a list of auction items and determining the number of bidders required (S203) may include auction type 312 as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3 for the auction items registered in step S202 by the article registration module 93c. Auction number 301, registration date 302, product name 303, auction quantity 304, the internal price 305, the number of bidders required 306, current bidders 307, auction deadline 308, The successful bidder announcement date and time 309 is created in a list form. Here, the number of bidders required (306) refers to the number of bidders set in advance in order to inform bidders of how many bidders will be equally charged to the bidders and participate in the lottery for the decision of bidders. The bidding price of the process plays an important role, the number of bidders required 306 may be determined by the operator site or the auction item registrant in step S202 according to the auction type.

A process of inquiring auction items (S204) is a process of inquiring a list of auction items prepared in step S203 in the form of a screen of the embodiment of FIG. 3 in order to find items to be purchased by a member. At this time, the details of the list of auction items that are inquired may vary slightly depending on the auction type (312). Therefore, instead of the internal price 305, the current market price or the auction price of the last auction is displayed for reference in determining the bidding price of the bidder.

In the process of selecting an auction item and applying for bidding (S205), when a member selects an item to be purchased from the auction item list of FIG. 3, clicks the bid item check box 310, and then presses the selection confirmation button 311, The lottery auction bid application screen as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 4 is displayed for the selected auction item, and the member checks the auction item contents 403 and then inputs a bid price 402 and presses the bid request button 401. to be. Here, the bid price 402 means the highest price recognized by the member who bids on the auction to purchase the auction item and can be paid for the auction item. However, in the case of the simultaneous auction-type lottery auction method, all bid prices are valid regardless of the internal price inputted by the seller. On the other hand, when one person wants to apply for multiple bids with the same bid price for the same auction item, the bidding number 402 may be entered together with the bid price 402 for the convenience of the bidding process.

In the process of determining whether the cyber money accumulated by the member is greater than the bidding amount withdrawal (S206), the operator's site first calculates the bidding amount withdrawal 503 by dividing the bid price 402 inputted in the step S205 by the number of bidders 306 required. Then, it is a process of comparing whether the cyber money accumulated amount of the member is larger than the bidding and withdrawal (503).

The process of assigning the bid number to the member by the operator site (S207) compares whether the cyber money accumulated by the member is greater than the bidding amount withdrawal (503) in step S206, and if it is determined as "YES", bidding withdrawal (503) After deducting the member's cyber money, a bid number 501 is assigned, and if it is determined as "NO", the member is determined whether to make an additional deposit (S208). After the process (S209) such as depositing or entering a credit card number, a bid number 501 is assigned, and as shown in the embodiment of FIG. Number 501, bid application date and time (502), bidding withdrawal (503), etc. to the process of informing the member, as already described, bidding withdrawal (503) is required bid price 402 entered in the process S205 Calculated by dividing by embroidery 306 will be. Meanwhile, the bidding and withdrawal (503) paid by the member for bidding participation in the lottery auction is a temporary payment, and the settlement and refund is made in the process of S219 in accordance with the decision of the bidder and the winning price in the following process S217 and S218. You lose.

The process of determining whether there is a designation of an upper limit price when registering an item (S210) is a process for determining whether the auction type of the auction item is an upper limit type lottery auction method. In order to determine whether the early closing conditions are satisfied before the auction period is concluded by determining the price-type lottery auction, the process proceeds to the following S211. If there is no upper limit price, the process of determining the early auction closing conditions Skip ahead and proceed directly to S213.

The process of determining whether the auction item is successful at the upper limit price (S211) is a process that is applied only when the auction type is the upper limit type lottery auction method, and the number of bidders who input the bid price 402 above the upper limit price is required for bidding. When it becomes the same as the embroidery 306, it is determined as an early successful bid and immediately proceeds to the early auction closing process (S212). Otherwise, the auction is continued until the auction period expires, and the same process as the general lottery auction method is performed. Perform. For easier understanding of this process, look at the example of the upper-end lottery auction method of FIG. 6A (604), when the upper limit price is 1,300 won and the number of bidders required is 100, the total number of bidders who entered the bid price of 1,300 won or more When the number is 100, in order to immediately close the auction even before the auction closing time 308, it is determined whether the total number of bidders who input the upper limit price of 1,300 won or more has been 100 each time there is a bid participation.

The process of closing the auction early (S212) is a process that is applied only in the case of an upper price type lottery auction like the above process S211, wherein the number of bidders who input the bid price 402 above the upper limit price is greater than or equal to the required bidders 306. In this case, the bidding price may be formed at the upper limit price even if the bidding is no longer accepted, so the auction is immediately closed without waiting until the scheduled auction deadline (308). In this case, the upper limit price is determined as the winning bid price Since the winning bidder is decided by the lottery among the bidders who input the bid price above the price, the process proceeds directly to the settlement and withdrawal of the bidding and withdrawal process of S219. The early auction closing process of the upper-end lottery auction system is designed to close an auction transaction as soon as possible, and by adding an upper price condition to the general lottery auction system, the bidders and the bidder who win the lottery without waiting for the scheduled auction deadline The feature is that the price can be determined. To better understand this process, look at the example of the upper-end lottery auction method of FIG. 6A, when 100 bidders (the number of bidders required) are sequentially selected from the highest bidders. Since the lowest price among the bidding price is 1,300 won, the bid price is determined at the upper limit price of 1,300 won without receiving bidding any more, so the auction can be closed immediately even before the auction deadline.

Determining whether the auction period has expired (S213) is a process of determining whether the auction period or auction deadline 308 entered when the seller registers the auction item has elapsed. Transition to the normal auction closing process (S214), otherwise continues to receive the bid participation application (S205).

The normal auction closing process (S214) is a process that allows the operator site to delete the auction item from the auction item list of FIG. All auction types except for the case of the early auction closing in the upper-price lottery auction, that is, the general lottery auction, the upper-end lottery auction with no early auction closing, the peeled-off lottery auction and the simultaneous bid-auction It applies to both.

In the process of determining whether the auction item that has been normally auctioned is successful (S215), a difference occurs in the judgment criteria according to the auction type. First, in the general lottery auction method, as shown in Case 1 (601) of FIG. 6A. It is determined that the bid is successful only when the number of bidders who input the bid price 305 or more by the auction deadline time 308 is the required bidder number 306 or more, and auctions as in cases 2 (602) and cases 3 (603) of FIG. If the number of bidders by the deadline is less than the number of bidders required, and the number of bidders by the auction deadline is more than the number of bidders required, but the number of bidders who have entered the minimum price is less than the number of bidders, The case 3 (603) of FIG. 6A is a case where the internal price is not disclosed until the auction deadline. Secondly, in the upper-end lottery auction method, the present S215 process is performed only when the initial bid is not made at the upper limit price (S211), and the judgment criteria are the same as the above-mentioned lottery auction method.

Third, in the peeled-off lottery auction system, as shown in Case 1 (611) to Case 4 (614) of FIG. 6B, there are three cases of all successful bids (611, 612), partially successful bids (613), and total all bids (614). As in Case 1 (611) and Case 2 (612), the total number of bidders (350) who entered bid prices above the minimum bid price (KRW 800) by the auction closing time is required bidders per item unit (100). If the total cumulative number of bidders (300) calculated by multiplying the total sales quantity (3) is multiplied by all the successful bidders, all bids are determined. Or, if the total number of bidders who entered the bid price above the initial domestic price) (1,000 won) is less than the number of bidders required for the first unit of the auction item (100), all of the bidders are judged as bidding. As in (613), the number of bidders until the auction deadline (270) is the cumulative number of bidders required for the second unit of the auction item (2). More than 00), but less than the cumulative number of bidders required for the third unit (300), the auction items in the first and second units are determined to be successful and the third unit is determined to be successful.

Fourth, in the simultaneous bid-based lottery auction method, it is necessary to first define the term satisfied bid price for convenience of explanation, and the bidders are sequentially ordered by the number of bidders with the highest bidding price. When the bundles are combined, the minimum bid price among bidders in each bundle is defined as the satisfied bid price of each bundle. In the simultaneous bid-based lottery auction method, after the auction is closed, the successful bidding is determined by matching the lowest bidding price with the highest satisfying bidding price. In this case, cases 1 (621) and cases 2 (622) of FIG. There is a contact point price (KRW 2,000) where the internal price and the satisfied bid price are equal to each other. ) Is lower than the bidder's minimum satisfied bid price ($ 2,100), and the bid is determined as a successful bidder, and as shown in Case 4 (624) of FIG. 6C, the seller's minimum internal bid price ($ 2,000) is the bidder's highest satisfied bid price ( If the bid price is not higher than 1,800, or if the total number of bidders is less than the number of bidders required per unit of auction, then no bidding price is formed. In the case of a successful bid determination in S215 as described above, the operator's site refunds the bidding and withdrawal 503 for each auctioned item to each bidder.

In the process of re-registering the auction item (S216), if it is determined as a bid in step S215, the member directly registers again by modifying auction conditions such as auction type, internal price, auction period, or the operator's site. It is a process of automatically re-registering according to a predetermined method.

In the process of determining the bidders for the lottery (S217) according to the auction type, if it is determined that the auction item is successful in the step S215, the lottery may participate in the lottery to some of the bidders in order to draw the final winner for the item. This is the process of granting the rights, and the basic principle of the decision of the bidders to be applied is to apply the principle of bid priority first, and then apply the principle of bidding time priority. First, in the general lottery auction method, when the bidder who inputs the bid price 305 or more by the auction closing time 308 is more than the required bidder number 306, all the bidders are granted the right to draw the auction item. According to the principle of bid priority, the bidders who select the bidders 306 are selected from the bidders who input the highest bidding price 306, and the lottery bidders are selected by granting the right to draw. If there are a large number of bidders who enter the same bid price, the bidder with the quickest bidding time is determined as the bidder according to the principle of bidding time priority, and in case 1 (601) of FIG. The 100 bidders who entered the bid price will be the bidders. Secondly, in the upper limit lottery auction method, the process S217 is performed only when the initial bid is not made at the upper limit price (S211), and the method of determining the bidder for the lottery is the same as the general lottery auction method. Third, the bidders for the lottery are determined according to the principle of bid priority and bidding time priority even in the peeled off multi-auction lottery auction. Representatively, in case 3 (613) of FIG. The bidders to be selected must be decided. First, the 210 bidders with bid price of more than 900 won are selected (assuming all 90 bid price is 900 won) according to the principle of bid price priority. By applying the principle, 200 bidders will be determined by excluding 10 late bidders. Fourth, the principle of bid priority and bidding time priority is applied as it is to determine the bidders for the lottery auction in the simultaneous quotation type, and in case 2 (622) of FIG. First, 550 people who entered bid prices above 2,000 won were selected according to the principle of bidding priority, and then 500 bidders were selected by excluding 50 late bidding time by applying the principle of bidding time priority.

The process of determining the auction price (落 札 價格) of the auction item (S218) occurs a significant difference depending on the auction type and can be said to be an important characteristic factor to distinguish the auction type. First, the general lottery auction method is a process of determining the lowest price among the bid prices entered by the lottery bidder determined in the step S217 as a successful bid price of the auction item. Referring to example 1 (601) of FIG. Of the 100 bids entered, the lowest price is 1,200 won, so the winning price is set at 1,200 won. Secondly, in the upper limit lottery auction method, the present S218 process is performed only when the upper limit price is not an early auction (S211), and the method of determining the successful bid price is the same as the general lottery auction method.

Thirdly, in the peeled off lottery auction system, the winning bid price is determined based on the same principle as the general lottery auction method, and the bid price is gradually lowered depending on the number of successful bids, but regardless of the bid price. After the auction closes, the bidders for the lottery will be determined according to the number of successful bidders, and the lowest price among the bidding price of the lottery bidders will be determined as the successful bid price of all successful bidders. Case 2 (612) of FIG. 6B is a representative example for explaining a method of determining a successful bid price in a peeled off-abundance lottery auction system. The first unit is bidding at an internal price of 1,000 won and the third unit is an 800 won domestic price. The bidding proceeded in, but all three auction items were auctioned, so the highest bid price was determined as the bid price as the 300th among the 350 bidders' bid prices (3 bids × 100 required bidders per unit). The same applies, and in this case, the winning price will be decided between 800 and 900 won. One more thing that can be considered in the process of determining the bidding price of the stripped-off lottery auction is to use the seller's internal price as if it is the upper limit price. This method can be understood as an auction method where the upper limit price decreases as the number of successful bids increases. In addition, in the case of all successful bids, there is an advantage that the auction can be closed early even before the auction deadline. For the sake of explanation, in case 1 (611) of FIG. 6B, the successful bid price is regarded as the upper limit price. Will be set at 800 won (the winning price in the original raffle auction will be over 1,000 won), so if there were 300 bidders before the auction deadline, the auction could be closed early at that point. do.

Fourth, in the simultaneous quotation type lottery auction method, in order to determine the successful bid price after closing the auction, the successful bid price is determined by sequentially matching the lowest bid price to the highest satisfied bid price in order. Find the contact point where bid prices meet and decide the winning price. To illustrate this process in more detail, see Case 1 (621) of FIG. 6C, the internal price and the sales quantity entered by a number of sellers by the auction deadline for any auction item specified by the operator site are arranged on the left side. On the right side, bid prices and number of bidders entered by a number of bidders are listed. The lowest internal price entered by the seller is 1,800 won and the quantity is 1, so it is matched with the highest satisfying bid price of 2,200 won to determine the winning bid first, and then the 1st bid of 1,900 won is satisfied. If you match the price 2,100 won, and then match the two items with a nominal price of 2,000 won with the satisfied bid price of 2,000 won, the auction price is formed at the price of 2,000 won. The winning bid price of the goods is all set at 2,000 won. In addition, if the same process is applied to case 2 (622) of FIG. 6C, one item of the internal price of 1,800 won is matched with the satisfying bid price of 2,200 won, and then two items of the internal price of 1,900 won are satisfied bid price of 2,100 won. Finally, only two items with a nominal price of 2,000 won are matched with a satisfied bid price of 2,000 won, so the successful bid price of the five successful items is determined to be 2,000 won. On the other hand, case 3 (623) of Figure 6c is a very unusual case that a single contact price is not formed, but a successful bid is established, the highest internal price that the seller intends to sell is 1,900 won and the minimum satisfied bid price that the bidder wants to purchase is Rather than the highest domestic price of W1,900, it is a case where the contact price forms a certain range. In the case of Case 3 (623), the winning price is determined at 1,900 won, or 2,100 won, or between 1,900 and 2,100 won according to the principle of bid priority.

As described above, the process of determining the auction price of the auction item (S218) is not only the most characteristic process of distinguishing the auction types, but also the bid price of the auction item according to the bid price 402 entered by a plurality of bidders. This is an important core process of the present invention to ensure that the winning bid price of the auction item can be reasonably and appropriately determined according to the competitive principle of the auction.

In the settlement and repayment process of the bidding and withdrawal (S219), the operator site first refunds the bidding and withdrawal 503 to those who are not determined to be the lottery bidders in step S217, and second, the successful bid price is determined in step S218. According to the operator site by dividing the successful bid price by the number of bidders per unit (306) to calculate the determined bid and withdrawal to be borne by the bidders selected in the step S217 to calculate the bid price (402) in the step S205 The difference between the bidding and withdrawal is settled and refunded to the lottery bidders who input higher than the winning bid price, and the difference calculation of the bidding and withdrawal is based on the bidding price with the bidding and withdrawal (503) paid by the voting bidder in step S205. Calculate by subtracting the confirmed bid and withdrawal.

The process of determining the successful bidder by lottery (S220) is a process in which the operator site draws the winner by the amount of successful bidders according to the auction type among the bidders selected by the predetermined lottery method, and determines the successful bidder of the auction item. The drawing process must be carried out by a drawing method that is transparent and reliable. In the present invention, for the reliable lottery, the winner is determined by drawing a winning number using the bid price, bidding time, bid number, resident registration number, etc. of the bidder, and this will be described using the bidder list of FIG. . First, the operator's site discloses how to determine the winning number before starting the auction in consideration of the required bidding number 306. If the winning bidding number is 50 because the required bidding number is 50, the first number of the winning number After the auction closes, the bidding price is the 25th highest bidding price among the bidders, and the bidding number is determined by the second digit in front of the bidding price. It is to disclose a method of determining the winning number, such as selecting a higher bid price and determining the second digit among the bid price numbers, and looking at the winning number determined at this time in FIG. The second digit is 3 in front of the bid price ($ 43) and the second digit in front of the bid price (39,000 won) of the 40th place (704). The winning number is 9, so 39 times. In this case, the operator's site may use bidding time, bidding number, social security number, etc. in addition to bidding price of bidders to select a winning number, or use a mixture of bidding price, bidding time, etc. As shown in FIG. 7, the winning number may be combined using the last number of minutes, the last number of the bidding number, the second digit in front of the social security number, and the like.

On the other hand, when the winning number determined by the above method is not the bid number (or the drawing number) of the lottery bidder, that is, when there are no bidders corresponding to the lottery number among the lottery bidders, the winner is not determined. In the case of FIG. 7, the bidder who has the bidding number 39, which is the winning number, cannot be selected as the bidder. The winning number will be drawn again. As the method of continuing the drawing, the bidding order ranking for drawing the winning number may be moved forward one by one. In the case of FIG. 7, the first number of the winning number is the bid ranking ranking from 25th to the forward one. The second digit of the winning number is the bid number (45,000 won) of the 24th (701) bid price ranking, and the second number of the winning number moves the bid price ranking from the 40th position to the 39th place (703) ) Draws the second digit 1 from the bid price (41,000 won) of) and tells how to decide 51 as the new winning number, and keep drawing until the winner is decided. This lottery method is to be made public before the auction starts.

In addition, if it is necessary to determine the number of successful bidders according to the auction type (in the case of a detached lottery auction), the number of combinations that determine the winning number shall be announced in advance before the auction starts, and the successful bidder is confirmed. When the winning number is determined, the list of bidders for each auction item is disclosed so that anyone can see the process of determining the winning number, thereby ensuring transparency and reliability of the decision of the successful bidder and eliminating the possibility of dispute.

Another example of the lottery method will be described. First, bidding ranks of the lottery bidders are sequentially determined from the highest bid price. In this case, if the bid prices are the same, the bid price with the quick bid number takes precedence. Then, the bid prices of all the lottery bidders are summed, and an amount obtained by dividing the total amount by the bid price quotations per auction is calculated. Then, a value obtained by adding "1" to the remaining value obtained by dividing the calculated amount by the number of bidders for the auction of the auction is determined, and the bidding rank corresponding to the obtained value is determined as the winning number.

For example, if the sum of the bid prices of all the bidders for the lottery is "4,017,000", the bid and ask unit is "1000", and the number of the bidders for the lottery is "20", the winning number is determined as follows. do.

1) 4,017,000 ÷ 1000 = 4,017

2) 4017 ÷ 20 = (share: 200, remainder: 17)

3) 17 + 1 = 18 (Winning Number)

In addition, if it is necessary to determine the number of successful bidders according to the auction type (in the case of a detached lottery auction), the first winning bidder is decided by another example of the above drawing method, and the second winning winner including the second The winning bidder decides as follows: First, the sum of the bid prices of all the bidders of the lottery bidder is calculated by subtracting the bid price of the winning bidder who has already been decided. Then, an amount obtained by dividing the deducted amount by the unit of a quotation is calculated, and a number obtained by adding "1" to the remaining value obtained by dividing the calculated amount by the number of bidders for the auction is determined as the winning number. If the determined winning bidding price overlaps with the winning winning bidder, the winning bidder is determined as the winning bidder based on the bidding ranking. In this case, the last bid price rank is regarded as the bid price rank that precedes the first bid price rank. On the other hand, if the newly determined winning bidder overlaps with the winning winning bidder again, it repeats until it does not overlap.

In the process of determining whether the bidder has won the successful bidder (S221) and receiving the auction item (S222), when the bidder checks the list of the lottery auction winners announced by the operator site and wins the successful bidder It is a process of receiving the auction item, and when the successful bidder receives the auction item, the operator's site remits the corresponding bid price to the seller.

FIG. 3 is an exemplary view showing an embodiment of the auction item inquiry process S204 of FIG. 2A, and is an example of a screen that appears when a member inquires the list to find an auction item to purchase. As shown, the auction item list screen displays a plurality of auction items, auction number, registration date, item name, auction quantity, auction price, required bid number, current bid number, auction deadline, and successful bidder for each auction item. The date and time of the announcement and the selection of bidding items are displayed.

This is an example of a screen for entering a bid by entering a price 402. Figure 5 is an exemplary view for showing an embodiment of the bid number allocation process (S207) of Figure 2a, after the member completes the bid participation application (S205), the bid of the member to be used when the operator site draws a successful bidder This is an example of a screen for notifying the number 501.

6A to 6C are exemplary tables showing bidding examples by auction type, and a process of determining whether a successful bid is determined (S215), a process of determining a bidder to be lottery (S217), and a process of determining a successful bid price (S218) are described. It is a chart for. 7 is an exemplary table of a list of bidders for each auction item, and is a diagram for explaining a process (S220) of determining a successful bidder by lot.

As described above, according to the present invention, the auction type of the internet lottery auction is subdivided into a general lottery auction method, an upper price lottery auction method, a peeled-off lottery lottery auction method, and a simultaneous bid-based lottery auction method, respectively, according to the auction type. Other winning pricing methods are used to add new features and to provide new methods of drawing to ensure the reliability of the drawing process.

The present invention increases the interest of the members by various auction types and increases the reliability by the transparent lottery method, thereby absorbing more bidders and sellers, thereby greatly activating auction transactions through the Internet. The winning price of the item can also be effectively determined according to the competitive principle of the auction.
