An electronic commerce method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the system having such a structure.

2 shows the overall flow of an electronic commerce method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, a member registration process of establishing a buyer database 421 and a seller database 422 by receiving a plurality of pieces of information from buyers and sellers who wish to make a transaction through the intermediary system 4 is performed. (S10 to S12). Thereafter, login processing is performed on the buyers and sellers connected through the network 1 (S13 to S15), and when a buyer authenticated as a member selects a specific item and a seller and then requests a quotation, the buyer requests a quotation. The seller is notified (S16 to S20). Accordingly, when the seller reviews the request for quotation information and submits a quotation for the corresponding article, the seller provides the corresponding quotation information (S21 to S23). Accordingly, when the buyer requests a purchase bid for the item, the mediation system 4 notifies the seller of the bid, and when the seller bids, the negotiation system negotiates a transaction between the buyer and the seller, and finally the seller bids the seller. Is registered (S24 to S29). Then, based on the seller's bidding information, the system automatically bids the seller who bids the lowest price (system bidding), or bids a specific seller at the buyer's option, and notifies the successful bidder information so that the deal can be concluded between the buyer and the seller. In particular, when a fee due to mediation is received from the seller, the seller's information and the seller's information are disclosed to the seller and the buyer, respectively, so that the transaction can be concluded (S30 to S36).

Next, each step of the e-commerce made in this way will be described in more detail based on the system.

First, the buyer's request for quotation and the seller's quotation submission process will be described. The flowchart is shown in detail in FIGS. 3A and 3B.

As shown in Fig. 3A, when the purchaser enters a URL for connecting to the intermediary system 4 with the purchaser running a program (e.g., a web browser) for network connection on the terminal 2, this URL is entered. The information is converted and packetized by a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) in a web browser and then transmitted to the intermediary system 4 via the network 1.

Accordingly, the interface server 41 of the mediation system 4 transmits the web page corresponding to the URL information to the purchaser terminal 2, which is converted into a window state on the web browser and displayed. Therefore, the buyer confirms various information provided by the mediation system 4 through the web page displayed on the screen of the terminal 2 (S100).

Subsequently, when the interface server 41 of the intermediary system 4 provides the screen for member authentication to the purchaser terminal 2 to which the interface server 41 is connected, and the buyer ID and the password are transmitted from the purchaser terminal 2, the processing server 4 The member manager 431 performs member authentication according to whether the transmitted buyer ID and password are stored in the buyer database 421 (S110).

If the transmitted buyer ID and password are not stored in the buyer database 421, the authentication module 4312 of the member manager 431 notifies the member that the member login has failed by providing an access disable message to the corresponding terminal. If the authentication process is not performed (S120 to S130), and the transmitted buyer ID and password are stored, the buyer's terminal 2 is connected to a page providing the product information so that the buyer can select the item to be quoted. (S140).

When the buyer selects a specific item (S150), the quotation request processing module 4321 of the quotation processing unit 432 inquires whether an open quote or a private quote is requested for the item, and if the buyer selects a private quote, the item-seller Based on the information stored in the relational database 424, a list of sellers selling the goods is generated and provided to the purchaser terminal 2 so that buyers select specific sellers (S160 to S170).

On the other hand, if the buyer requests seller addition registration when the seller does not want to trade in the seller list provided from the mediation system 4, the seller branch to the seller selection and additional routines and the seller selection processing unit 435 selects and Additional registration is performed (S180). The seller selection and additional registration process is sequentially shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, when a seller list request for a specific item is input from the purchaser terminal 2 (S400 to S410), the seller selection processing unit 435 based on the information stored in the goods-seller relationship database 424. Create and provide, and when the buyer requests a new seller registration is received from the buyer terminal (2) information of the new seller to determine whether to register and approve the seller (S412 ~ D415). The information of the new seller is stored in the seller database 423, and the seller-information is stored in the item-seller relationship database 424 in correspondence with the identification code of the item handled by the seller (S416).

At this time, the information of the new seller is stored in the seller database 423, and then the member is encouraged to register the membership offline or online, and accordingly, if the seller requests membership registration, Final approval of membership registration with only the seller's information already provided by the buyer without going through the membership registration process, and the seller's more detailed company information or personal information (such as the person in charge) is provided from the seller and stored in the seller database 423 separately. do.

On the other hand, the buyer may review the seller information provided from the mediation system 4, and if there is a correction request may be requested to correct the information (S417), in this case also the seller selection processing unit 435 from the buyer terminal (2) After receiving the correction information of the through confirmation and approval process, the corresponding information in the seller database 423 and the goods-seller relationship database 424 is updated (S418).

However, when the buyer selects a seller to request a quotation from the seller list provided from the mediation system 4 without requesting addition of a new seller and information change (S419), the seller selection processing unit 435 sends the access key to the seller. After creating an e-mail informing and requesting a quotation, the e-mail address of the seller is read from the seller database 423, and the mail is transmitted to the terminal 3 of the seller through the mail server 44 (S420 to S). S423).

As such, in the case of a private quotation, a seller selects a seller to request a specific quotation, and when the buyer requests a public quotation, the quotation processing unit 432 handles the article without the seller selection process as described above. A quote request e-mail will be sent to all registered sellers.

In particular, when selecting an item, the purchaser may request a quotation for a plurality of items at the same time, and may request a quotation by selecting a plurality of sellers for a plurality of items, respectively. Thus, the buyer can obtain the quotation information from multiple sellers, as described below, without having to quote the necessary items separately from the seller.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3A, when information such as quotation deadline, desired price, etc. is provided from the purchaser terminal 2 (S190), the quotation request processing module 4321 of the quotation processing unit 432 is provided. The reference number is provided in the quotation request information is stored in the quotation database 425, and the registered quotation request information is automatically posted to the quotation request list on the quotation main page (S200 to S210).

If the request for quotation is a private quote, the accessor is assigned to the seller selected by the buyer and stored in the seller database 423, and the buyer enters the quotation condition through the mail server 44. The terminal 3 is notified (S220 to S240).

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the seller who has received the request for quotation or the seller who wants to receive the request for quotation from the mediation system 4 connects through the seller terminal 3, the authentication module of the member management unit 431 ( 4322 performs authentication processing in the same manner as in steps S100 to S130 described above based on the seller ID and password provided from the seller terminal 3 (S250 to S280).

When the authorized seller accesses the quotation main page and requests information on a specific quotation request, the quotation reception processing module 4322 of the quotation processing unit 432 determines whether the registered quotation request is public or private. To the seller terminal 3. That is, if the seller's quote request is a private quote, it is determined whether the access key is mapped to the seller database 423 in response to the seller's identification number. If it is not provided, it indicates that the quotation can not be processed (S290 to S320), and if the seller is given an access key or if the estimation method of the corresponding article is public, the quotation submission process is opened so that the quotation can be submitted (S330). .

Accordingly, when the seller provides quotation information about the corresponding item through the seller terminal 3, for example, a price, a specification, a catalog, a model, and the like, the quotation reception processing module 4322 registers the submission of the quotation with the submitted quotation. The numbers are assigned and stored in the quotation database 425 (S340 to S350). In this case, the quotation information provided by the seller may be checked again so that accurate information may be provided.

While performing the quotation reception processing, the quotation reception processing module 4322 determines whether the quotation reception period for the corresponding article has ended, and, if the quotation reception period has not ended, the quotation reception processing described above according to the seller's connection. The process is repeated, and when the quotation period ends, the reception of the quotation for the corresponding article is terminated (S360 to S370).

At the end of the quotation period, the quotation reception processing module 4322 analyzes the quotation information provided by each seller stored in the quotation database 425 and creates a quotation information comparison table so that a buyer can compare a plurality of quotation information at a glance. . Then, through the mail server 44, the buyer terminal 2 of the request for a quotation for the corresponding article is notified that the quotation acceptance deadline is finished so that the buyer checks the quotation information (S380 to S390).

On the other hand, the buyer can check the quote information through the quote information comparison table and may request a re-quotation as a result of the confirmation. For example, when a buyer selects a seller to be re-quoted, the intermediary system 4 notifies the seller terminal 3 of whether or not to re-quote by e-mail and submits a new quotation. At this time, only the selected seller can be granted the re-quotation authority to prevent another seller from submitting the re-quote.

According to the process of requesting a quotation, a buyer can easily request a quotation for an item that he or she is willing to purchase, and in particular, can request a quotation in a private or public manner, and only a specific seller that he / she wants through a private quotation You may be able to verify your request for quotes and submit a quote.

In addition, if there is no seller who wishes to trade, the buyer can register the seller directly, so that the buyer can obtain a quotation for the item from the desired seller through the intermediary system without contacting the seller.

As described above, upon completion of the request for quotation and the acceptance of the quotation for the article, the mediation system 4 receives the actual purchase bid from the buyer and the purchase bid of the seller based on the quotation information. 5 illustrates a process of registering a purchase bid in an electronic commerce according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, when a purchaser who is notified of the completion of the quotation received from the mediation system 4 is connected through the terminal 2, the member management unit 431 performs the member authentication process as described above. (S500 to S51) Next, the authenticated buyer selects the article, and selects a bidding method for the article in a private or open manner (S520 to S530).

When the buyer selects a purchase bid, the bid registration module 4331 of the bid processing unit 433 provides a list of sellers handling the selected item, and selects and adds the seller as shown in FIG. 4 according to the buyer's selection. Processing is performed (S540 to S560). At this time, the selected seller is given an access key for bidding on the bidding item. On the other hand, when a buyer requests an open bid, the bid registration module 4331 sends a request guide mail to all sellers who handle the goods without a seller selection process.

Next, information about bidding conditions, for example, a bidding period, a bidding currency unit, a payment method, and the like is provided from the purchaser terminal 2 (S570), and detailed purchaser information about the item to be purchased is provided to the buyer to make a bid. Upon application (S580 to S590), the bid registration module 4331 assigns a registration number to the provided bid information, stores it in the bid database 426, and starts the registered bid information in the bid list on the bid main page (S600). S610). Meanwhile, the bid information provided by the buyer is confirmed, so that accurate bid information can be stored.

Next, a description will be given of a process in which the sellers bid for the bidding items as described above, and the purchase bid registration process is sequentially illustrated in FIG. 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, when a seller who receives a bid request or a seller who submits a quotation to an intermediary system 4 makes a bid for a bidding item of a buyer, the seller connects through the seller terminal 3. When the authentication module 4322 of the member management unit 431 performs authentication (S700 to S710), and the authenticated seller requests a purchase bid for a specific item, the bid registration module 4332 of the bid processing unit 433 corresponds to that. Check the bidding progress for the item.

That is, when the bid period is not finished by checking the bid period of the corresponding item stored in the bidding database 525, the bid method of the item is checked (S720 to S740), and the bid method of the item is a private bid method In this case, the seller is given an access key to make a bid, so whether the transaction is possible is checked, and if the transaction is not possible as a result of the review, a transaction such as sending a message indicating that the bid is not possible is performed. S750-S780). On the other hand, even when the bid period of the article requested by the seller in step (S730) is not available for bidding processing.

However, if the seller is given an access key, so that the transaction is possible or the bidding method of the corresponding item is a public method, the bidding process is started (S790). Accordingly, bid information, for example, bid price, from the seller's terminal 3, When information such as a bid specification and a catalog is provided, the bid price is again reviewed according to a bidding method of the corresponding article to perform a bid registration process (S800).

That is, if the bidding method of the corresponding item is the bid price disclosure method, it is checked whether the bid price provided by the seller meets the bidding condition set by the bidder, that is, the buyer, and the bidding method is the bid price private method. In this case, a separate price condition check process is not performed. At this time, the input bid information is confirmed to the seller so that accurate information can be stored (S810 to S840).

Next, the bid registration module 4332 assigns a bid registration number to the bid information provided by the seller and stores the bid registration number in the bid database 427.

As such, after receiving bidding and bidding information for the goods to be substantially purchased from the buyers and sellers, the mediation system 4 performs a negotiation process to achieve an optimal transaction between the buyers and the sellers.

7 illustrates a process of negotiating a transaction between a buyer and a seller in an electronic commerce according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When a buyer who makes a bid connection requests a negotiation, first, the negotiation processing module 4431 of the transaction processing unit 434 confirms whether the buyer has made a bid for the corresponding goods (S900 to S920). For example, when the buyer ID provided from the buyer terminal 2 is stored in the bidding database 426, it is confirmed that the buyer is the bidder, and if the buyer is not the bidder, the negotiation is not possible (S930). .

If the buyer is the bidder, the negotiation processing module 4431 checks the bidding status, and if the bidding is in progress, allows the user to access only the information for comparing the bid information provided by the seller (S950-S970). If it is finished, the negotiation process is started (S980).

Next, when a buyer who is a bidder selects a seller to negotiate a transaction, the negotiation processing module 4431 gives an access key that can be negotiated to the selected seller (S990 to S1000), and negotiates a negotiation condition, for example, from the buyer. It was selected as the final negotiation target by the seller's terminal (3), which received information such as Negotiation Period, Count Price, and Successful bidding method, and final negotiation terms (negotiated, successful bidding method, negotiated price).
