Automatically changed price system according to sale frenguency and method

The present invention provides an automatic price change system for converting and displaying tangible or intangible commodity (or commodity, commodity) prices automatically according to the sales frequency of commodities, and allowing transactions to be made based on such prices. A method and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

Recently, with the rapid increase of Internet users, the Internet is playing a role as a new media that enables real-time communication between companies and individuals, individuals and individuals rather than in the sense of a network connected with computers.

Electronic commerce (EC) refers to the act of buying and selling goods through the Internet or PC communication, and broadly encompasses the purchase of goods and services or advertisement of orders placed through a computer communication network. . The biggest advantage of such a transaction is that there is no time and space constraints, which saves you the hassle of going directly to the store, and the transaction price is mainly settled by credit card. In addition, there is no cost of distribution or rent, and it is likened to the state of the art golden fishing grounds in that all Internet subscribers in the world are potential customers and is included in commerce at the light speed (CALS).

With the development of the Internet, such electronic commerce through the Internet is becoming active. Internet shopping malls that can purchase goods through the Internet are the most important of them. Various types of internet shopping malls are appearing, ranging from shopping malls for department stores selling various products to specialized shopping malls selling only specialized products.

At present, due to the development of computers, the Internet, and the improvement of the communication environment, the number of e-commerce companies and the scale of the Internet are increasing. As is well known, the Internet is not only a cyber space service but also a purchase, sale, and exchange of goods. This is because it is a suitable place for commerce. Accordingly, as the establishment of the Internet e-commerce shopping mall increases, computer users who want to purchase products through the Internet can find more diverse products and the same products of lower prices.

The sales frequency is how much sales are made within a certain time. In the product sales system using wired / wireless communication or network, even if the total sales volume is small, products that are concentrated at a specific time, that is, products with high sales frequency, It will cause an overload.

Conventionally, a price determined by a seller of a product is fixed regardless of sales frequency, or a pricing method by an auction method has been used. However, these pricing methods have the drawback that the cost of the system load caused by the sales frequency is not taken into account in the system used to provide the goods, and the seller bears the cost burden.

In more detail, conventionally, a supplier determines a price irrespective of sales frequency, or a plurality of consumers or a plurality of suppliers present a price to deal with a supplier or a consumer who presents a price desired by a counterpart after a certain period of time. I chose to do it.

However, a product with a high frequency of sales puts a heavy load on the system in response, and in order to bear this load, the supplier has to buy a high-performance server or use a network with a large bandwidth. Will be embraced. On the contrary, if a product with a low sales frequency lowers the price, it can increase the purchase desire, thereby increasing the product sales opportunity, but it is practically impossible to adjust it manually while continuously checking it.

Therefore, when the product is sold, the sales frequency of the product is continuously inspected so that the product with a higher sales frequency than the sales frequency set by the seller automatically raises the price, and the product with a low sales frequency causes the price to fall. As a result of the transaction by price, it is essential to reduce the overload of the system caused by the high frequency of sales, and to activate the sale of the low frequency of sales.

The present invention proposed to meet the demand as described above, in the case of Internet e-commerce, the price of the tangible or intangible product is automatically converted according to the sales frequency for the goods and displayed so that the transaction is made by the price It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic price change system and a method thereof, and a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the method.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of an internet e-commerce system linked with an automatic price change system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the Internet e-commerce system that provides product information such as product prices, etc. according to a request of a service user, a plurality of user terminals 10 for service user registration, and a plurality of service users are provided. When the terminal 10 is connected to an information communication network (preferably through the Internet), the frequency of purchase of the purchased product for the expected purchase product (the product that the current purchaser wants to buy) is detected in real time and the value is reached. Reflecting, and automatically converts the product price every predetermined time to provide the automatic price change system (web server) 20 to provide a plurality of user terminals (10).

Here, an information communication network such as the Internet connects a communication line between the plurality of user terminals 10 and the automatic price change system 20 to establish a data communication related to product information.

Many user terminals 10 have established a communication environment including a web browser capable of accessing an information communication network. Of course, it is apparent that the plurality of user terminals 10 may be connected to the automatic price change system 20 through a dedicated line, a public communication network (PSTN), or a mobile telephone network.

Accordingly, the plurality of user terminals 10 may include a mobile communication terminal such as a personal computer (PC), a cellular phone, or a PCS phone including a communication mediation device (for example, a modem), a monitor, a keyboard (or a keypad), and the like. It may be a next generation mobile communication terminal such as International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT-2000), Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS), personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook computers, or the like.

The automatic price fluctuation system 20 continuously detects the sales frequency of the merchandise at the time of sale of the merchandise, and automatically raises the price of the merchandise with a higher sales frequency than the sales frequency determined by the seller, and the merchandise with low sales frequency. Automatically lowers the price to automatically change the price of the commodity.

To this end, the automatic price change system 20, in order to dynamically change the product information, such as the selling price of the product in the Internet e-commerce, the name of the product sold (purchased by the buyer), product selling price (buyer entry) In the sales information detector 21 and the sales information detector 21 for detecting sales information (purchase information from the buyer's side) such as product purchase price), buyer information, and product sales time (the buyer purchase time from the buyer's point of view). On the basis of the database 22 for storing the detected sales information and the sales information previously stored in the database 22, the sales frequency indicating the sales amount for a predetermined time for the product to be sold (purchaser's expected product) is displayed in real time. Sales of goods to be sold according to sales frequency detection unit 23 for detecting and sales frequency detected in real time by sales frequency detection unit 23 The product price determining unit 24 determines the price and reflects the determined product selling price to the product information in real time to the user terminal 10.

Now, the automatic price fluctuation system 20 detects the sales frequency of the intangible or tangible product that is paid in real time and reflects the price of the product in real time, and automatically converts the product price at a certain time, and then trades at this price. It will be described in more detail how to make.

On the screen of the user terminal 10 of each service user, the product information is listed together with the current product selling price, and the product selling price is automatically changed according to the sales frequency at a specified time.

For example, when a buyer displays a purchase intention by pressing a button displayed on a screen, various purchase information such as a product name, a current product price, a buyer information, a product purchase time, etc. ) Is transmitted to the price automatic change system 20. This sales information is detected by the sales information detection unit 21 of the automatic price change system 20 and stored in the database 22, and the sales frequency detection unit 23 continuously monitoring the database 22 sells the product. The frequency is detected and used by the product price determining unit 24 to determine the product price. The product selling price thus determined is sent back to each product information screen (see FIG. 2 below).

An example of the commodity price determination method is as follows.

For example, a total of six items sold for five minutes dated back to the current time for product A, five of which were sold within one minute from the current time, and four of the five were sold within 30 seconds. Let's assume In this case, assuming that the lowest price set by the seller is "Base_Price", the current price "Current_Price" of the product is expressed by Equation (1).

In Equation (1), W ₃₀ , W ₆₀ , and W ₃₀₀ are weighted values of the sales volume for 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 5 minutes, respectively.

If no sale is made for the next 30 seconds, Equation 1 drops as shown in Equation 2.

Therefore, if the sales volume is set to be detected every 5 seconds, the more the sales volume is concentrated, the price increases every 5 seconds, and if the sales volume is dispersed, the price automatically falls. When there is no sales volume, "Base_Price" is the product sales price. do.

2 is a screen in which the purchaser wishes to access the automatic price change system 20 to view the product information on the product A. FIG.

In Figure 2, "Item A" means a brand name, the current price is 100 won. The total number of buyers up to now is 80, but there have been no buyers in the last five minutes, so the price of commodity A has been kept at 100 won, which is the lowest price (Base_Price).

If it is assumed that two purchases have been made elsewhere for this product, the price rises from the base price of 100 won to 113 as shown in FIG. 3a. And if there is no purchase for a while, the commodity price falls to 102 won as shown in FIG. 3b. After 3 sudden purchases intensively, the price rises to 124 won as shown in Figure 3c.

As such, the automatic price change system 20 can completely change the price as shown in Figure 3a to 3c according to the concentration of the sales volume, this process is only one example, but is not limited thereto.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for automatically changing a price according to a sales frequency according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the automatic price change method according to the sales frequency according to the present invention first designates a format of a screen indicating information on a product (401), and specifies a price update time (402). All of these can be set in advance by the seller.

If a purchaser wishing to access the automatic price change system 20 displays a purchase intention for a particular product (403), the sales information such as product sales time, process ID, etc. together with the information on the buyer is displayed at the database ( 22) (404).

Thereafter, the sales frequency detection unit 23 checks the database 22 storing such sales information every designated time to detect the sales frequency (405), which is added to the sales price calculation program of the product price determination unit 24. Substitution is made to determine the selling price (406).

Next, the determined product sales price is displayed in real time on the product information screen of all the purchasers connected to the automatic price change system 20 (407).

5 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a process for detecting and storing sales information in an automatic price change method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sales information detection and storage process of the automatic price change method according to the present invention may include purchase information such as a purchase time of a product, a purchaser's ID (IP address, etc.) when the purchaser makes a purchase. In the position of the automatic price change system 20, sales information) is transmitted to the automatic price change system 20.

Thereafter, the sales information detection unit 21 of the automatic price change system 20 generates a key by combining a product sales time and a process ID (that is, a brand name) based on the sales information (501). The combination of these two keys does not generate the same key for any sale, so each key is the only key for that sale. The buyer ID and the product selling price are stored in the database 22 in correspondence with each key (502).

In this way, an example of the configuration of the product sales information database table such as the purchaser information (IP address) and the product selling price is shown as a key as the product name (process ID) and the product selling time of the previously sold product.

Now, the process of detecting the selling frequency in the selling frequency detecting unit 23 to determine the selling price will be described in more detail.

FIG. 7 is a detailed flowchart illustrating a sales frequency detection process for determining a product sales price in the automatic price change method according to the present invention. The sales frequency detection unit 23 sells a product to determine a product price for a specific product. The procedure for detecting the frequency is shown.

In the present invention, the screen of each product purchaser is composed of a Java client, which causes the Java client to call the next sales frequency detection program every designated time.

As shown in FIG. 7, the selling frequency detection process for determining the selling price of goods in the automatic price change method according to the present invention first stores a current time in "Current_Time" when a system request for selling frequency is requested. (701). Then, the variable for storing the sales amount up to 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 5 minutes before the present time is initialized to 0 (702). These times can be set appropriately by the vendor or system administrator according to the performance of the system.

Thereafter, the sales information stored in the database 22 is retrieved (703). At this time, the first record is read including the key value. However, since the key value includes a trade name (process ID) to preserve not only time but also uniqueness of the key value, only the time portion is separated from the key value (704 and 705).

Next, subtract the product sales time (Key_Time) from the current time (Current_Time) (706), compare this value (Duration) with 5 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds (707, 709, 711) and record the corresponding sales volume within the interval. Increase the variable value (708, 710, 712). This process (703 to 714) is repeated until the end of file (EOF) of the database 22 (713) is increased (714).

When the sales frequency detection process is completed, a price is calculated by substituting the sales amount for each time section into a price calculation formula, and the price is transmitted to each user terminal 10.

As the sales frequency of the product is continuously detected during the sale of the product, a product with a higher sales frequency than the sales frequency determined by the seller automatically raises the price, and a product with a low sales frequency automatically lowers the price. By presenting it to the user, the transaction is made at that price. Therefore, a product that increases the system load due to a high sales frequency can automatically increase the price to induce buyers to change the purchase time, thereby reducing the system load burden. Can be activated.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.

According to the present invention as described above, the merchandise seller can obtain the effect of increasing the merchandise sales opportunity by the automatic fall of the price for the product with a low purchase frequency, and the automatic rise of the price for the product with a high purchase frequency By distributing the purchase time, the system load can be reduced.
