Description

Integrated shopping mall system and method having a plurality of shopping malls {SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMBINATION SHOPPING MALL INCLUDING VARIOUS SHOPPING MALLS THEREIN}

The present invention relates to an internet shopping mall system and method, and more particularly, to an integrated shopping mall system and method for generating a plurality of integrated shopping malls and connecting a telephone system with the Internet.

In the case of a shopping mall that sells goods using the Internet, the list of goods or services is simply listed in the shopping mall. In the case of a seller who registers goods, the role of a simple supplier that relies solely on the shopping mall for operating rights It can only be done.

In order to solve this problem, there is a method of opening a shopping mall in a shopping mall, that is, a shopping mall that provides a shopping mall for each seller who wants to make a transaction, so that the seller can operate his shopping mall. Since shopping malls by company provide only a form of listing and selling, and it is difficult to satisfy customer's desire for various services, a retailer operates a comprehensive shopping mall including auctions, joint purchases, and events. The company is suffering from a lack of competitiveness compared to other companies.

On the other hand, since Internet users mainly use the domain name to go to the desired site and use the service, companies that provide services on the Internet compete to own a domain name that users can easily recognize. A significant amount of money is invested to increase public awareness.

Such domain names are becoming more complicated due to the rapid increase of Internet companies, and the predominantly domain names are composed of English combinations of various meanings. Users who are not used to the Internet may be more aware of phone numbers than domain names. In particular, in the case of the 1588 national representative telephone service provided by Korea Telecom, which connects several points to the same number and automatically connects to a point close to the origin, the telephone number is provided in the form of 1588-****. Since only need to recognize the last four digits, it has a feature that is easier to recognize than the conventional telephone numbering system. If the 1588 national telephone service is provided in connection with the Internet, users who are familiar with the telephone number system can access the service more easily, but each is operated independently, and no integrated method is proposed. to be.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an integrated shopping mall system and method for providing a comprehensive shopping mall of the shop in the shopping mall.

It aims to provide an integrated shopping mall system and method that can help smooth the progress of Internet e-commerce by solving the technical limitations and operational problems that have prevented offline companies from entering online.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an integrated shopping mall system and method that allows a user who searches for products through the Internet to network and store a homepage of a visiting company and a national representative telephone.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an integrated shopping mall system and method that allows a user to access a shopping mall of a company entered through a phone number by making a national representative phone number and a company-specific domain name the same.
