Description

Cyber Point Exchange and Trade Method

The present invention relates to a cyber point exchange and trading method for trading cyber points or mileage (hereinafter referred to as cyber points) provided by various sites on the Internet. More specifically, cyber points acquired from other sites are also referred to as other sites. The present invention relates to a method of exchanging and trading cyber points, which enables exchanges in accordance with an alliance with the company, and allows various types of cyber points to be traded.

In recent years, as the number of Internet users has increased rapidly, the purpose of providing information is to provide paid information to them, or instead of providing free and useful information, in contact with specific advertisements in the process of providing information. Various sites for the purpose of import business through advertising fee payment or simply for promotion and sales are increasing.

Sites aimed at profitable business through advertising should increase the number of registered members and increase the site access rate to maximize the advertising effect through advertisements using various advertising techniques such as banner ads. You should provide information or events to make it possible.

Therefore, various sites actively utilize the point earning system according to the use of the site, so that Internet users can register as members, click on various advertisement banners displayed on the site, answer questions, post on bulletin boards, or link to member companies of the site. Every time a member joins a membership, he or she is given cyber points and exchanges them for goods or cash when the cyber points reach a predetermined target value.

However, given points are used only in the site that gave them points, and it is difficult to obtain many points in one site, so it is difficult to reach a predetermined target point enough to purchase a product that can be purchased at one site. It is difficult, and if you don't have many naturally or artificially acquired points while using each site, you will neglect nature and do not manage well or you will not be interested in the points at all. There was a problem of not being able to manage.

On the other hand, if the user wants to purchase a product on the Internet, he / she inputs his / her payment account number and payment amount on the product purchase site to pay for the purchase price of the product, and the product sales site pays the sales amount through the connection with the financial settlement system. In addition to receiving, it uses a method such as sending a purchased product to the buyer by courier.

In this way, the internet users access each site and the point usage and functions acquired when surfing the web are similar to each other, but they are scattered sporadically, so it is difficult to reach the target points necessary for product purchase. There was a problem in that even if you do not spend because you have to pay the purchase price through means.

The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described circumstances, and a single point (hereinafter referred to as 'CEB point') according to the value of each point occupying different types of points obtained by visiting sites subscribed by members of the Internet. Exchange points), apply the appropriate discount rate to purchase cash exchange products together with the points, make it possible to buy and sell points on this site, and also purchase points after depositing point purchase costs through a bank. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of exchanging and selling cyber points, which enables the same time, and also enables point auctions.

According to the present invention for realizing the above object, if an internet user joins a point exchange site as a member and logs in, checking whether the access member has points including other sites, and if the user has points, Confirming the types and points of points, confirming whether the points to be exchanged can be exchanged with CEB points provided by the point exchange site, confirming the point exchange intentions if point exchange is possible, and confirming the point exchange intention If you exchange points from other sites to CEB points and accumulate them in the member's point accumulation database, and if the member wishes to use the points and uses points for product purchase, cash exchange, and events, the points in the point accumulation database will be used as much as the points used. To subtract from the field It becomes bait.

In addition, in another embodiment of the present invention, if the logged-in member wants to purchase a point, the point corresponding to the deposit amount is recorded in the point accumulation database of the member when the deposit is confirmed after depositing the point price using the financial settlement system. After performing the step of earning is characterized in that to move to the step of checking the use of points.

In addition, in another embodiment of the present invention, if the points held by the logged-in member is an untradeable point on this site, deciding whether or not to place a non-trading point in the auction, if auction is desired If a successful bid is awarded to other members who wish to purchase the corresponding points, the team will move to the step of checking whether the points are used after exchanging the unsuccessful points with the CEB points of the successful bidders as the successful bid points suggested by the successful bidders. have.

Hereinafter, the operation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of exchanging points and trading according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If an internet user wants to use the service provided by the site after accessing the site through the internet network, first check the ID and membership registration and then log in if the user is already a member. However, if you are not registered as a member, after confirming your intention to sign up, if you have any intention to join, inform the terms and conditions to be observed when signing up and if you agree, enter basic personal information necessary for membership to join as a member.

In this way, when a registered member logs in, it is used in other sites, including CEB points (points newly set by the present invention to convert various cyber points sporadically used in each site on the Internet into one reference point). Check whether you have any other kind of points.

For example, when it is confirmed that a point held by a member has a point A, a point B, a point C, a point D, etc., including a CEB point, it is checked whether the point to be replaced is a point exchangeable with the CEB point.

If the member's exchange point is confirmed as exchangeable point, A point, B point, C point and D point in the above example are converted into CEB points and the points are accumulated in the member's point field in the point accumulation database established on the CEB site. Also, A point, B point, C point, and D point which are exchanged for CEB point are accumulated in other site point accumulation database that accumulates other site points among point accumulation database built on CEB site.

If the member wishes to use the CEB points for the purchase and cash exchange using the accumulated CEB points, the relevant goods or cash is paid and the points used in the member's point field in the point accumulation database are reduced.

On the other hand, if the logged-in member wants to purchase CEB points due to the small number of points held, he / she must deposit the cost corresponding to the CEB point to be purchased through the financial settlement system. After accumulating the CEB points in the point field of the member's point reserve database, and confirms the use of CEB points, and then performs the above operation according to the member's desire to purchase products.

On the contrary, among the points held by the logged-in member, points that cannot be exchanged directly with CEB points on this site can be exchanged with other members and CEB points through the auction system.

In other words, if it is confirmed that the member holds points that cannot be traded on this site (exemplified by X points in FIG. 1), check whether or not to place the points that cannot be traded in the auction. At this time, if it is confirmed that the auction is desired, the auction will be sent to the member who presented the best price among other members who wish to purchase the corresponding point. Instead of transferring the X points that were auctioned to the successful bidders, transfer the CEB points of the successful bidders to the auctioning hopeful member and move to the step of checking whether the points are used. Auctioneers may choose to present their cash based on cash instead of CEB points, so if they win, they can deposit cash and buy CEB points that have been auctioned.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of conversion when exchanging points of other sites with CEB points.

In general, there are points provided by various companies on the Internet, and their purpose is used to exchange goods or cash, and exchanged goods usually use book vouchers. Thus, for example, A points, B points, C points, D points, and E points, which are provided by A, B, C, D, and E companies, purchase 10,000 won book coupons from each site. To do this, assume that A point is 13000 points, B point is 1000 points, C point is 10000 points, D point is 13000 points, and E point is 5000 points, and CEB points are assumed to require 1000 points. When the conversion ratio is shown as , , , , Becomes Such conversion may be based on a random selection of not only book vouchers but also commodities in common use.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between exchanging another site point with a CEB point and converting it into cash and buying a CEB point in cash.

For example, assuming that a member with an ID of AA has 5000 points of A company, 3000 points of B company, 4000 points of C company, 2000 points of D company, 500 points of E company, various points that AA has as CEB points When exchanged, as shown, 4037 CEB points, BB, CC, DD, EE is calculated in the same way, respectively 3038 CEB points, 2430 CEB points, 384 CEB points, 630 CEB points. And, as shown in Figure 4, for example, when you buy 1000 CEB points from the member to buy 8500 won and sells to receive 9000 won to use the difference of 500 won to operate the site.

As described above, the present invention allows members to freely exchange points earned on other sites with a single point or cash provided by the site, and points of sites not affiliated with the site are auctioned with other members. By allowing them to exchange through the Internet, you can effectively use points acquired from various sites on the Internet, and because there are many types of points, you can reduce the waste of points that are forgotten or difficult to use.
