Description

System offering both goods and intellectual property information and method

The present invention relates to a method for providing product information and intellectual property information in an internet shopping mall and an intellectual property (hereinafter referred to as 'patent') search system. By linking, shopping malls provide not only product information for each product, but also intellectual property information for the corresponding product, and the patent search system provides a system and method for simultaneously providing product information and intellectual property information providing not only patent information but also related product information. It is about.

There are so many shopping sites on the Internet that you do not know which sites are good for buying. The price comparison sites created to solve such problems are so many that they are changing to the era of Internet shopping. However, since all shopping mall sites provide only the price of products and general product introduction uniformly, information for consumers is focused only on price.

In addition, since the conventional patent search system provides only patent information, there is no method of confirming whether the corresponding patent is commercialized or information on the product.

4 is a flowchart of a product purchase in a conventional shopping mall. First, a plurality of users access a shopping mall through an internet network, log in, and then search for products by category search or other methods to compare and check product information. After checking the information on the product to be purchased, the user finally selects the desired product, makes a purchase request to purchase the selected product, and when the payment is made, all purchasing procedures are terminated.

However, such a conventional shopping mall is difficult to obtain technical information or patent information about the product. Basically, the description of the product sold contains no information about intellectual property rights, such as patents, utility models, trademarks (brands), and designs (designs). Sometimes they advertise as patented products and show patent numbers or patent registrations, but there is no way for users to believe and verify them. In addition, even if the product introduction has registered patent number 000000, it is not easy for the general public to confirm the fact through other channels, and it is impossible to know whether the patent is actually related to the product. In addition, many companies mark a trademark registered to secure a brand as if it is registered as a technical patent, and there is a problem that confuses users by displaying a patent that has not yet been patented because it is pending.

7 is a search flow diagram through a conventional patent search system. First, a plurality of users access the search system through the Internet network, log in, and then enter a keyword or patent number to search in a search form input box to perform a search. If a desired patent is found as a result of the search, all the search procedures are terminated when the patent is selected and the patent contents are confirmed.

However, since the conventional patent search system merely provides patent information, there is no way to check whether there is a product corresponding to the patent and which company develops and sells a product to which the right is granted. In addition, from a product developer's point of view, there is a problem in that it does not have an opportunity to promote and sell a product that has been commercialized and registered as a patent in a patent search system.

An object of the present invention was created to solve such a conventional problem, and by interlocking the database of the Internet shopping mall and the patent search system, the shopping goods provide not only product information for each product but also intellectual property information for the corresponding product. In addition, the patent retrieval system provides a system and method for simultaneously providing not only patent information but also product information and intellectual property information that provide related product information.

If you want to (S80 '), and automatically extract the keyword to be used for patent search from the information of the product (S90') may execute a patent search (S100 ') and then show the search results to the user (S110'). ).

Similarly, FIG. 8 illustrates a flow according to an embodiment of a method of simultaneously providing intellectual property information and patent information in a patent search system. A user accesses a patent search system and logs in (S210), and then registers a patent. In order to search by entering a search expression in the search input window (S220), and executes a search (S230), the search result list is displayed on the output screen (S240). At the same time, the search results are displayed on the output screen and the user is shown using the means such as an icon or text that the relevant product information exists for the patent that holds the product (S250).

In the next step, when the user selects a patent to check the contents on the search result list (S260), the patent search system displays the contents of the patent (S270).

After the user checks the patent details, if the user wants to check the product information on the patent (S280), the patent search system calls the relevant product information on the patent (S290), and displays the related product information on the output screen. (S300). Then, when the user checks the related product information and wants to purchase (S310), the user moves to the associated shopping mall (S320) and performs a product purchase procedure (S330).

With the above configuration, the operation of the system and method for simultaneously providing the product information and the intellectual property information according to the embodiment of the present invention are as follows.

When a user searches for a product displayed in a shopping mall (S20), and selects a corresponding product to check information of a product of interest (S30), the shopping program operating program 111 stores the corresponding product in the product DB 121. Displaying the product information on the screen (S40) at the same time, the product search engine 122 searches the relevant patent DB (122) of the shopping mall and displays the presence or absence of the patent information on the product if there is patent information for the product do.

Then, when the user checks the product information after checking the product information (S50), the operating program unit 111 calls the patent information in the relevant patent DB 122 (S60), the corresponding product to the user Display the patent information for (S70). If the user wants to check the relevant patent information and purchase the corresponding product, the user makes a purchase request (S80), enters payment and delivery information (S90), checks whether all procedures are normally completed (S100), and performs all steps. Quit.

The related patent DB 122 of the shopping mall and the related product DB 222 of the patent search system are constructed through the steps shown in FIG. 3.

First, when a product to be displayed and sold in a shopping mall is selected, basic information about the product is stored in the product DB 121 (S410), and in the case of a product having intellectual property such as patent / utility model / design / trademark / copyright In (S420), a unique reference key value (application number or registration number, etc.) for identifying intellectual property rights is set and inserted into the field of the product DB 121 (S430).

When the reference key value is given, the interlocking program unit 113 of the shopping mall system 100 extracts patent information corresponding to the reference key value from the patent DB 221 of the patent search system 200 (S440). At this time, the extracted patent information is extracted based on the basic bibliographic information and drawings such as the application number, application date, publication number, publication date, registration number, registration date, name of the invention, technical classification, inventor, applicant, summary of the relevant patent. do. The extracted patent information is produced in an output form of a predetermined format to be shown to the user and stored in the related patent DB 122 of the shopping mall (S450). Then, the interlocking program unit 213 of the patent search system 200 inversely extracts the information of the corresponding product from the product DB 121 of the shopping mall according to the corresponding reference key value, and the related product DB of the patent search system 200 (222). In step S460).

In this case, in addition to the product information extracted from the product DB 121 of the shopping mall, the related product DB 222 includes basic information (company name, representative name, company telephone number, company address, company homepage, administrator email) about the company manufacturing the product. By storing them together, users can not only purchase products, but also make contact with the company directly or get more information through the homepage.

In addition, when a user accesses a patent search system to search for a patent and inputs a search expression in a search input window (S220), and executes a search (S230), the user searches according to the search expression input from the patent search engine 212. Perform a display of a list of search results on the output screen (S240). At the same time, the patent search engine 212 compares the search result with the related product DB 222 and shows the related product information on the output screen to the user by means of an icon or text when the related product exists. (S250).

In the next step, when the user selects a patent to view the patent contents on the search result list (S260), the patent search engine 212 displays the contents of the patent on the screen (S270).

If the user wants to check the product information on the patent after checking the patent content (S280), the operating program unit 211 calls the relevant product information for the patent from the related product DB 222 of the patent search system. (S290), and displays the relevant product information on the output screen (S300). Then, when the user checks the relevant product information and wants to purchase (S310), the operation program unit 211 moves to the associated shopping mall (S320), and the user performs a product purchase procedure at the moved shopping mall (S330). ).

As described above, in an embodiment of the present invention, when a user wants to purchase a product through a shopping mall, the user may additionally acquire and confirm patent information in addition to the basic product information, thereby increasing the reliability of the product. In addition, the patent searchers can search the patent and immediately check the product information on the patent to determine whether the commercialization of the patent technology, it is possible to obtain the effect that leads to the purchase of the product.

In addition, patent applicants (rights) can obtain the effect of introducing their patent information and at the same time promoting and selling products using patent technology to users.
