Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for an auction by drawing a lottery ticket is provided to decide a successful bidder through a lottery by inducing a plurality of consumers to bid on the commodity through a publication of the commodity price and distributing the final bidding price evenly by dividing the commodity price by the number of bidders, thereby making the bidders pay each bidding price using a pre-paid cyber money and to enlarge a utilization of cyber money continuously and reinforce a connection with other site by accumulating received cyber money and using the cyber money for an auction. CONSTITUTION: A bidder connects to an Internet auction site(1-1). The bidder joins as a member and obtains an ID by inputting member information(1-2). The bidder collects cyber money to be used in an auction through an electronic commerce(1-3). The bidder searches a wanted commodity and requests a bid(1-4,1-5). If the auction is completed(1-6), a bid sharing money is decided by dividing the commodity price by the number of bidders(1-7). A successful bidder is decided through a lottery out of the bidders(1-8). The auction commodity is delivered to the successful bidder(1-9).

Description

Lottery Raffle Auction {Lottery Dutch Auction}

This invention will be used to change the system that has been carried out in the existing auction site in a better way. It is almost similar to the auction method that is conducted on site or offline, but there is a difference in the method of winning the bidding method and the way bidders pay the bid. But the bid was also invented to take advantage of cyber money. It is a revolutionary invention that can take advantage of cyber money, which is becoming almost dead, by allowing existing companies to use the cyber money that has been paid or accumulated through their sites. In addition, the bidder with the higher price of the existing auction system overtakes the bidding method, and a plurality of bidders bid with the same bid price determined by the number of bidders and draw a lottery to determine the successful bidder. It is different from the existing lottery auction. This invention allows more bidders to bid with interest because the bidder withdrawals are significantly lowered, even though the bidders are lowered in the probability of winning. That is, the present invention uses the conventional net auction method, the reverse auction method system, the cyber money paid by each business, and a payment solution such as a mobile phone and a credit card. In addition, the method of lottery drawing will follow the existing random drawing method.

The present invention aims to overcome the decline of bidders due to the triumph of the conventional auction method.

First, an auction e-commerce site or an offline event operator discloses the price of a product to be auctioned in advance, receives an application from a seller, and auctions a product. In this case, the operator and the seller shall negotiate in advance to calculate the internal price. . Alternatively, the seller may allow the seller to arbitrarily calculate the price. Secondly, the bidder receives the auction product. At this time, the limit of the number of bidders should be adjusted flexibly according to the price of the auction item. The higher the number of people, the lower the bid price (the reverse auction method), but the lower the chances of winning, the bidder may lose interest. In this case, the minimum prepayment amount must be determined in advance, and the bidder must be accepted only for the members who have confirmed the prepayment. Third, when the auction is closed in a fixed period (or when all the bidders are filled), the bidding price is extracted from the prepaid cyber money by dividing the internal price by the number of bidders. Fourth, if the bid is confirmed and the cyber money is extracted, the winner is selected through a lottery. The bid number should be given when bidding in advance so that there will be no complications in the draw. Fifth, once a successful bidder has been determined, it will be disclosed and closed for delivering auction items. The present invention through such a process is a system that more interesting and interesting to configure the relationship between buyers and sellers that occur during electronic commerce. In addition, in order to secure more bidders, the operator must conduct various events to pay auction cyber money and establish a system so that the cyber money in the same place can be used for auction in connection with other companies. will be

Figure 2 is a flow chart for explaining the details of the actual auction system in progress.

Figure 3, Figure 3a is a flow chart for explaining the seller in the same way as in Figure 2 to raise the minimum price, minimum bid, minimum bid, maximum bid, auction period, article name, etc. without operator consultation.

4 and 4a are the same as those in FIG. 2, but the seller or the operator decides only the internal price, the minimum bid, the auction period, and the auction item name, and the minimum bidder and the maximum bidder are not limited. Flowchart to do.

First, the general description of the present invention will be described in detail. The present invention is an advanced stage of the auction system using the Internet, and is a lottery lottery-type reverse auction (price decreases as the number of bidders increases). There are many ways to participate in the auction using the Internet, such as existing net auctions, reverse auctions, 10 won auctions, and lottery auctions. This invention was made in a growing demand for other unique methods of auction.

It is an invention to cope with the crisis of cyber money being lost and the crisis that consumers who once participated in the auction feel bored with the monotonous auction method. In other words, the use of cyber money, which is currently struggling, is extremely low, and it is urgent to prepare countermeasures, and the auction system itself bids immediately at a competitive price to consumers who want to buy things at a lower price. Due to the laxity of the operation, the auction system itself has not been able to take advantage of both the benefits of purchasing and purchasing necessary items. In order to solve this problem, the present invention discloses the internal price of the item to a plurality of consumers who want to purchase the auction product and induces a bid, and then divides the internal price by the number of bidders according to the closing time and distributes the final bid price evenly. Each bid price will be paid in advance by the pre-deposited cyber money, and then the winner will be decided through a lottery.

This auction method is a predetermined price, the seller can proceed auction without any damage at all, and the bidders also increase the number of bidders in reverse auction method that increases the number of people is less likely to win the draw, but relatively Since the withdrawal of bidding is reduced, it is possible to participate in the auction without difficulty. If you apply the connection with the cyber money that is the problem now, you can get the effect of maximizing the utilization of cyber money that is dead. Maximizing the utilization of such cyber money can be used as a tool for cooperating with events or businesses in each site or offline. In addition, according to the present invention, the possibility of bidding is extremely low, and a bidder can have a 100% bidding rate because the winner is selected from the total bidders. The possibility of probation will be discussed in the next article.

The present invention is an invention for finding another breakthrough of an auction-type e-commerce, which has reached the limit with the existing auction system alone, and at the same time, it is an invention for maximizing the utilization of cyber money that is not being used and accumulated here and there. In addition, the auction method will benefit not only e-commerce, but also the profitability of various companies holding off-line prizes. In addition, when the existing auction system has been divided and developed, the present invention is to combine the goodness of each auction system to induce more fun and interest and generate more e-commerce.

Ultimately, the purpose of this invention is to go through the period of just buying and selling, and the auction system that used to sell only expensive goods from high-class aristocrats came down to e-commerce, but many consumers do not have much fun in this auction system itself. This is happening. Overcoming this situation and applying the auction method, including the fun of another auction and the fun of the lottery, will attract more consumers onto the site.

In addition, as noted above, consumers can participate directly with their own money (or cyber money) in the monotonous event of simply applying and drawing when they make the most of cyber money and go offline and enter the event. By giving them opportunities, they will be effective as another business item that will increase active participation. In addition to this, the use of this invention will be infinite. The most important thing is that according to the present invention, there will be no winners because it is an absolute lottery. Only the total number of bidders will be a one-by-one lottery, so anyone is bound to win. The object of this invention is here. It is an invention of the groundbreaking auction system, in which anyone participates in the auction easily and funly, and also proceeds with an auction without an ambition. In other words, the invention will be described with several possibilities in mind, but the point of the invention is that when there are many bidders for one auction item, everyone will receive an equal bid and withdrawal, giving them the same chance of raffle Bidding is possible.) Bidding withdrawal by dividing the domestic price by the number of bidders decreases as the number of bidders increases (reverse auction type) and the members who participated in the bidding are inconvenient, such as depositing a bank with a prepaid cyber money. It is a system that allows a successful bidder to receive a successful bid without depositing any necessary money.

Detailed configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows the general flow of this invention, showing the progress of the overall system. In detail, there is a process (1-1) in which a person who wants to participate in an auction accesses an auction internet site or an auction event site. This process describes the process of accessing the auction site by mass media advertisement or word of mouth promotion. The process of forming an ID (1-2) by joining a member and entering member information is a step for signing up as a member to participate in an auction conducted by an operator. This step is to get ID which can be used at auction site. The step of earning cyber money through e-commerce (1-3) is the process of earning cyber money for use in auction. Or how to earn money by using a wire transfer. It also includes cyber money earned on the auction site. The auction item inquiry (1-4) bid participation application (1-5) process is a process where members who have completed the membership registration and cyber money accumulation and find a desired item and apply for bidding. When you apply for bidding, you must have more cyber money than the minimum bid price presented there, look at the maximum bidder and minimum bidder, and refer to the default price to decide whether or not to bid. After the auction time and the maximum number of bidders are reached, the auction is closed (1-6). Then, the total number of bidders goes to the stage of decision of withdrawal (1-7). The bidding withdrawal divided by the number of bidders is determined. The auction will be terminated when the bidder is selected for the total bidder and the bidder is determined (1-8) to deliver the bidder (1-9).

The process of drawing a total bidder is a method of randomly issuing a bid number based on the order number issued at the time of bidding by random drawing method and drawing the issuance number.

Figure 2 is a flow chart for explaining these details and described the progress of the system in detail. In the process of the seller's auction item registration offer (2-2), the goods to be auctioned are registered on the site, and the seller's goods presented here are selected by the operator to be auctioned, the price of the auction goods and the bidder. The decision is made whether or not to proceed with the auction. At this stage, the proper price of the item (the default price) is also formed, and the minimum bid request cyber money (2-4), the maximum bid number, minimum bid request number, and auction period are determined. At this stage the details of all auction items are determined, along with the auction period, the name of the auction item, the auction number, and the name of the seller providing the auction. The determination of the maximum and minimum bidders is very important here. This is because the probability of being determined by the maximum number of bidders is high when determining bid withdrawals in steps 2-16. In the process of inquiry of bidder's auction item (2-5) and bidder applying for bidding on auction item (2-6), the member who earned the above cyber money finds the item he / she wants. You will configure the screen to do this. At this time, after checking whether the cyber money is more than the minimum required bid amount of the auction item (2-7), if the YES, the bid number and the current price (2-10). If NO, it goes through the steps of (2-8) (2-9) and charges auction cyber money such as bank transfer or credit card payment, withdrawal of cyber money from other sites, and mobile phone payment. In step (2-10), the bidder discloses the current bidder and the minimum bid of the desired auction item in advance so that the bidder can determine the probability of the auction having the probability of bidding. When bidding, the total bidding number including the bidding member itself, the calculated bidding withdrawal and the bidding number are assigned. What is important in this process is how many bids a member can make. Existing auctions do not allow one member to offer more than one price, but one member can make multiple bids due to the characteristics of the lottery auction. For example, if there is an article with a default price of 100,000 won, the minimum bid is set to 1000 won and the minimum bidder is 50 and the maximum bidder is 100. It is also possible to buy this auction item for 100,000 won. That is, multiple bids can be made with the same ID and member's name. And each time you bid, the bid number is issued according to the order. And in order to alleviate this trouble, if you want to buy this auction item at a fixed price, make an input window so that you can purchase it immediately. And like any other auction system that creates an auction window, you can decide whether to let the seller make an immediate purchase. However, the differentiation from immediate purchases of other auction sites is that members who purchase immediately cannot refuse to purchase. If you want to make an immediate purchase, you can make an immediate purchase only if you make a prepayment in advance and the cyber money is higher than the internal price. The drawings for immediate purchase described above are not carried out. Prompt purchase can proceed as it is now done on other sites. However, the bidder's cyber money must be higher than the nominal price of the item to be purchased immediately. The auction is closed after a fixed time has elapsed or the maximum number of bidders has been filled (2-11). At this time, a determination is made as to whether the minimum bidder has been exceeded (2-12). If the minimum requested bidder is not exceeded, the auction becomes a bid. (2-14) If the total bidder fails to exceed the minimum bidder by the auction deadline, the auction becomes a bid. If the minimum bidder is exceeded, the bidder withdrawal calculated by dividing the internal price by the total bidders is revealed (2-15), and the withdrawal and withdrawal is withdrawn from the bidder's cyber account (2-16). At this time, the bidding and withdrawal money is actually the amount to be withdrawn from the cyber bankbook, and the withdrawal process is completed at the same time as the auction is closed. In this case, only those who have the minimum bid amount participate in the auction. Therefore, the auction can be withdrawn from the cyber account of the member who made the auction. If a problem with the system or other matters prevents the withdrawal of the bidding amount determined by the auction participant's cyber passbook, the auction will be postponed and the draw will be withdrawn at the time when the withdrawal withdrawal is withdrawn from the cyber account of all auction participants. Do it. The lottery will be conducted for all bidders and a successful bidder will be selected (2-17). All of these processes are operated by an electronic system, and if the amount is very large or in case of an event auction, the lottery may be run separately by eliminating the lottery. In this case, prior to the start of the auction, it is necessary to inform in advance that the drawing method of the auction is decided by a drawing event held offline. The process of selecting a successful bidder by lottery is a method in which an operator randomly draws by a method arbitrarily selected by auction bidders. The winning bidder will confirm the winner and announce the details of where the prize will be received and send it to the operator who will send out the prize. (2-18)

In FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 2, the seller and the operator negotiate to determine the minimum bid amount, the maximum number of bidders, the internal price, and the like, rather than proceeding the auction. The other methods are the same as in Fig. 2 above, except that the seller does not have to submit the item registration in (2-2), and the member who sells in the process of (2-3) directly pays all the minimum bidding requirements and default prices, The item is registered by determining whether to set up an immediate purchase, auction period, maximum bidder, name of auction item, and minimum bidder. All other matters proceed in the same manner as in FIG. 2. However, this method can be overcome to some extent by inducing reasonable sellers' prices and minimum bids, but it may be overwhelming for individual sellers to induce them to reasonably decide whether to bid or not. It is recommended that this method be introduced and implemented only to the extent that the lottery-type lottery reverse auction is raised among members.

In FIG. 4, the other processes are the same, but only the minimum required bid and the minimum price are presented and the maximum number of bidders or minimum required bidders are not limited. This invention is a derivative of the auction method of Fig. 2, 3 as the basic auction without proceeding by limiting the maximum bidder and the minimum bidder proceeds after the auction is closed also divides the internal price by the final bidder to calculate the withdrawal withdrawal. That is, all methods are the same, but only the minimum bid and the fixed price are disclosed and the auction proceeds. This auction method is another derivative invention, which can increase the minimum bid amount and increase the withdrawal of the bid if the bid is not successful, but it has the advantage of increasing the chance of winning, the withdrawal and withdrawal of the minimum bid. If the odds of winning and winning are very small, all are possible inventions.

In other words, if a lot of members bid in an auction, the withdrawal of the bidding will be relatively low, but the probability of winning a bid will be reduced proportionally.If only two members bid in the auction in the extreme, the withdrawal withdrawal will be half of the internal price. The price is reached, but the probability of winning is 50%. The method of FIG. 4 may be further subdivided into a method in which an operator, in consultation with the seller, determines the internal price and the minimum bid, as well as the case in which the seller decides alone and places the item in the auction. Here, only the former case is shown. The latter case proceeds as shown in FIG. 4 of the former, but there is no process (4-3) in which the seller and the operator negotiate to determine the internal price and the minimum bid.

Example of auction progression according to the present invention

The seller wants to sell the camera, accesses the site, compares the price of the same item, and sets the default price. At this time, the operator compares the prices with other retailers through a Price Match (reasonable derivation process), and then decides whether or not to proceed with the auction at the predetermined price in consultation with the seller.

A camera with a fixed price of 300,000 won will be auctioned and the maximum bidder will be limited to 100 (this is determined by the operator and seller at reasonable discretion).

The bidders who saw the auction make a bid after making a deposit with cyber money more than the minimum bid amount of 5,000 won (the minimum bid is determined by the operator and seller within the range of the internal price divided by the maximum bidder). There were a total of 80 bidders during the auction. If so, withdraw the withdrawal of 3750 won in each cyber money at 300000/80. And draw by the bid number issued in advance.

If a successful bidder is determined, the successful bidder will receive the goods without paying any extra money.

As in the example above, the auction proceeds. However, if 100 people bid, the auction will be closed and the draw will be made immediately even if the fixed period is not reached. In addition, the bid and withdrawal divided by the domestic price by 100 people will be reduced to 3,000 won.

In the above method, the method according to FIG. 2 is taken as an example.

Example of auction product auction

If the above auction method is used, it is almost impossible for a product to be auctioned.

Since the internal price is determined by comparison with other existing retailers, it is not an expensive product, and even if only two or more bidders exist, the successful bidder will not refuse the purchase because the product is won at half the price. However, in the case of FIG. 4, when the bidder was two persons in the extreme case, the successful bidder would try to purchase the goods, but the bidder would likely try to deposit additional amounts except the minimum bidding, so there is a possibility of bidding. Except for FIG. 4, in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, a minimum bidding number is set, and when the minimum bidding number is not occupied even when the period ends, a method of bidding the auction is used. In other words, if the minimum bid was set to 5000 won and there were only 50 bidders, the auction would be worth a bid if the total bid and withdrawal amount was 250,000 won and the amount to be returned to the seller was absurd.

In this case, there may be a method of lowering the possibility of bidding with a minimum bid of 10,000 won or a method of guaranteeing the cost of goods with a minimum bidder of 80.

This method allows the operator to discuss the decision with the seller as a way to prevent the bidding in advance. In other words, if a restriction is made in advance so as not to make a bid in advance, the auction system by the method of the present invention cannot be bought at all. However, in FIG. 3, since the seller judges various auction conditions without extensive discussion with the operator, the possibility of bidding increases. In this case, a sufficient pre-training page should be prepared to inform bidders participating in the auction. In the case of FIG. 4, the possibility of the bidding becomes even greater, but also discloses a page explaining these characteristics in advance so that bidders and sellers can be fully aware.

The effect of the present invention satisfies various needs of consumers who want to escape from the conventional net auction method, and continuously increases the use of cyber money that is lost, and collects the cyber money once accessed and can be used for auction again. By doing so, it can be used as a tool to strengthen the linkage with other sites. In addition, the fundamental effect is to go beyond the lottery auction method and introduce the reverse auction method, so that the more the number of participants in the auction, the lower the bid amount is, so that the auction participants can feel the pleasure of participating more. can do. By not just buying goods, but by buying a single item, you can get more profits through e-commerce by attracting more consumers to the site. In addition, the drawbacks of the lottery-type lottery can be a very interesting auction, as any one of the bidders are made up to compensate for the fact that no one can win the public lottery.
