When the general user accesses the Internet 20 through the terminal device 10 owned by the user and inputs a domain which is the Internet address of the multi-party interactive shopping mall operating site (S11), the browser of the terminal device 10 12 requests a user to input an identifier ID and a password for authentication of the shopping mall system 30. When the user inputs an identifier ID and a password, the user visits the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30. After the user authentication process, the shopping mall web server 31 determines whether the user is registered as a member by referring to the user member information in the database 34 (S12), and if the user is a non-registered member. There is a member registration procedure for storing personal information, a new ID, and a password directly input by the user through the member registration screen (S13).

When the user is registered as a member, the shopping mall system 30 transmits a screen for chatting and shopping to the terminal device 10, and the terminal device 10 transmits a chat transmitted through the browser 12. In addition to outputting the shopping mall screen, the chat and real-time screen synchronization and simultaneous shopping service is executed (S14).

When the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30 requests a shopping mall screen through the browser 12 of the terminal device 10 after the user authentication process is finished, the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30 reads the shopping contents previously stored in the database 34. In step S15, the user can enjoy shopping through the browser 12 of the terminal device 10.

Here, the user may request a chat through the browser 12 of the terminal device 10 to receive a chat and a real-time screen synchronization service, and the browser 12 determines whether a chat is requested by the user (S16). ) If the chat is not requested, the user purchases the individual purchase, that is, carries out a procedure of filling in the desired amount of the desired items in their shopping carts and paying them individually (S17).

When a chat is requested by the user in the step S16 of determining whether to request the chat, the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30 receives the necessary resources for chatting from the chat module 33 and the terminal. After transmitting to the device 10, the terminal device 10 can drive the user chat module 11 (S18) to proceed with the simultaneous shopping service through the chat (S19).

The shopping mall system processes the processing so that a user can pay for one item or purchase the purchased item to one place through a purchase module built in the user chat module 20 of the terminal device 10. The request to the chat module 33 of the 30, such a request proceeds by using the purchase-related data in the database 34 of the shopping mall system 30 and the purchase-related module of the chat module 33, In step S20, a product purchase step may be performed to adjust the price through consultation with the operator.

As shown in FIG. 3, the process of synchronizing the chat and the real-time screen is a simultaneous shopping service, that is, a plurality of users use the shopping mall via chat, and the user opens the shopping mall through the browser 12 of the terminal device 10. When a chat request is made to chat with a plurality of other users (S31), the user chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 attempts to connect to the chat module 33 of the shopping mall system 30. The shopping mall system 30 drives the server-side chat module 33 according to the chat module connection request (S32) and allocates a resource related to chat to the user chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 (S33). .

Here, the chat screen and the shopping mall screen are configured separately, the chat screen has a setting and control function for shopping and the shopping mall screen operates as a separate browser 12.

The terminal device 10 manages the chat module 33 of the user and the chat module 33 of the shopping mall system 30 to maintain a continuous connection by driving a chat client when resources related to chat are allocated (S34). In operation S35, the user may continue to enjoy chatting with other users (S36). In other words, when a user who wants to chat opens a chat room for the first time to talk with other users, the user who opens the chat room becomes the default master and runs the chat room as the default master. May be

In addition, in order to operate the chat room, the network connection speed is different for each user accessing the chat room, so synchronization is required. When the user inputs the synchronization mode button provided on the chat screen to set the synchronization mode, after determining the master, The master cannot be changed within a predetermined time, for example, within 10 seconds, and when an event is transmitted from the master chat room, the master communicates with the user whether the terminal device 10 is transmitted to another user, and the master can execute the next event after completion of the event transmission. Will be. Users can form a group through the chat room, and the form of the group can be formed in various types of groups such as price group, for example, 5,000 won buyer group, specific product co-purchase music CD, books and consumables, and step-up group. .

On the other hand, the user chat module 11 and the chat module 34 of the shopping mall system 30 is not only a chat module, so if the user wants to perform real-time screen synchronization and shopping at the same time, the user chat Through the module 11 and the chat module 34, it is possible to request synchronization of the screen (S37). In this case, as in the case where the user chat module 11 and the chat module 34 are requested to chat between users, the user chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 sets the real-time screen synchronization, and the shopping mall system ( The chat module 33 of 30 manages to maintain the synchronized screen (S38), and the user chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 can maintain continuous synchronization between users. This is a state in which smooth communication between users is possible through chat and real-time screen synchronization, and the user can freely shop in such an environment, and the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30 displays shopping contents. Subsequently, the contents are read from the database 34 and the contents are transmitted to the terminal device 10, and the operation is output through the screen of the browser 12 (S39).

In addition, the screen in which the master moves in the browser 12 of the terminal device 10 is displayed to all participants equally, and an input action by an input means such as a keyboard or a mouse of the master is evented to all users connected to the chat room. It is delivered and executed, and each user can switch to his control mode at any time. In this case, the event of the master is not delivered, but the chat mode is performed as it is. The user who accesses the chat room can exit the chat room at any time. When the master exits, the first accessor is the master. The group for purchasing the specific item may be separated.

In addition, when the user moves the cursor and the mouse to a screen other than shopping, the user enters the user control mode, and when the user moves back to the shopping mall screen, the user returns to the master control mode.

Through the above-described process, the user can use the chat and real-time screen synchronization function to conduct a product review process for shopping through conversations and screen movements with other users. As shown, it is largely divided into individual purchase and joint purchase.

When the user selects to purchase through the terminal device 10 in order to purchase the item reviewed through shopping (S51), the web server 31 of the shopping mall system 30 determines whether to make a personal purchase (S52). In the case of a personal purchase, as in a general shopping mall, a purchase module procedure is carried out in which a desired amount of desired items are put in each shopping cart and each payment is made (S56). Here, the purchase module is a user-side chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 is a server-side chat module to process the process so that one can pay a lot of items to be purchased through a purchase module, or to deliver to one place It is to ask (33). Such a request can be made using the purchase-related data of the database 34 and the purchase-related module of the server-side chat module 34, and the price can be adjusted through consultation with the manager or operator of the shopping mall.

In the case of the joint purchase in the step of determining whether the individual purchase (S52), the representative of the user recruits the co-purchase candidates through chat (S53) through the user chat module 11 of the terminal device 10 through the shopping mall As a result of performing a joint purchase to the managers and operators of the group, that is, requesting the participation history and price increase of other users or consulting a predetermined price according to the result of the joint purchase participation (S54), as a result of the individual purchase Similarly, the price can be adjusted through the purchase module of the user chat module 11 (S55).

Anyone can express their intention to purchase the goods, and at this time, a single credit card can make payments for a large number of users. It can be delivered to multiple regions, but if it is multilaterally purchased to lower the shipping price, it can be delivered to one person. In addition, a discount program can be applied to all purchases, and the discount program is applied according to the delivery index, the number of purchases, and the discount algorithm is, for example, the number of purchases * discount rate per purchase number + shipping index + shipping amount / delivery address, etc. Calculated by

The user makes a personal and joint purchase using the chat and real-time screen synchronization function, and the price determination and the delivery destination are determined using the purchase related data of the database 34 and the purchase related module of the chat module 33, and the payment is completed. If the user wants, the chat module 33 of the shopping mall system 30 that manages the chat connection at any time ends the chat function and ends (S57).
