Description

Server-Centric Electronic Direct Trading System {electronic direct Trading solution}

The present invention relates to an electronic direct transaction method that enables a server-intensive electronic direct transaction system to purchase and sell online through one-to-one real-time communication between a buyer and a seller.

As the penetration rate of the Internet improves, electronic commerce using the Internet is spreading, and the cyber shopping mall method and the P2P method are commonly used as the method of the electronic commerce.

First, in the e-commerce using the existing cyber shopping mall, the seller who wants to provide the information owns the server or participates as a tenant of a large cyber shopping mall, and inputs the information of the product he wants to sell. They connect to the Internet, search for and view information on goods organized by sellers, and make purchases.

The purchase of goods by the above method can be made only when the buyer visits the cyber shopping mall of the seller directly. For comparison, you need to go through multiple seller sites to collect and compare information.

This method requires the buyer to invest a lot of time and effort, and the seller also has to enter the price of the goods sold, the design and the change of the goods from time to time. It contains problems that can be directly connected.

Second, it can be said that the P2P-based electronic commerce method has recently been made as an alternative to the above-mentioned shortcomings. The electronic commerce method using the P2P method is a method in which a buyer accesses a central server containing the seller's information, searches for the seller of the item to be purchased, acquires the seller's information, and directly communicates with the seller without going through the central server. It is possible to shorten the search time of the buyer's purchases, and the change of the purchases can be reflected immediately.But it is impossible to simultaneously negotiate with other sellers other than the seller who is currently negotiating because the buyer and seller are 1: 1. can do.

The above two trading methods involve not only problems in the trading process but also problems in that the subject of trading is in fact limited to goods. In other words, services other than goods are excluded from the transaction, reflecting only half of the market reality.

Conventional e-commerce transactions require a great deal of time and effort to search for and compare the information that the buyer wants to sell manually. There are issues that can be linked directly, and sellers also need to make huge financial and time investments to promote their sites. The P2P method, which is an alternative to this problem of the conventional electronic commerce, also provides convenience for the buyer's search for the product, but the multilateral transaction negotiation is impossible by the 1: 1 method of the buyer and the seller.

Therefore, this e-commerce invention introduces a new e-commerce concept called Person to Community (P2C) to solve the problems of the two e-commerce methods. This method allows buyers to order catalogs of items and services that they want to purchase under various conditions such as quotation deadlines and regional limits, and to negotiate trade negotiations in real time with single or multiple sellers that meet the buyer's order conditions. The technical challenge is to provide information on the delivery status, acceptance and settlement of goods at the time of transaction, and to automatically store all information generated during the transaction, including the catalog, on the main server.

2 is a service control flowchart according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The technical problem of the invention of the electronic direct transaction described above is connected to a main server (server containing a manager program, a data base of a seller and a buyer, a transaction status data base, a public homepage, a private homepage, etc.) and a main server hereinafter. In order to preemptively set up a program for users (buyers and sellers, hereinafter referred to as "users"), business systems such as delivery, receipt and payment between the seller and the buyer.

The user-only program is programmed as a client / server application development tool such as C language, visual C ++, Delphi, Visual Basic, JAVA, and the like.

For the purpose of security, the private homepage cannot be accessed through an Internet browser such as MS Explorer (Nescape) or Netscape (Nescape) and can be accessed by using an authentication function in a user-only program.

The user-only program is executed automatically after rebooting the computer despite the unexpected shutdown of the installed computer, and always maintains the connection status with the main server and shows the status as a tray icon. In addition, when an event corresponding to a user occurs, a pop-up window notifies the occurrence of the corresponding event, and may set the event occurrence cycle of the environment setting to show the frequently occurring event at once. The information contained in the popup window can contain information such as the type, quantity, and the like of the event. The tray icon also changes to an icon shape that matches the type of event.

After establishing the above preparation step, the user accesses the main homepage of the main server using off-line or internet, downloads and installs a user-specific program, and at the same time receives an ID and password as a member (address) and handling items. Initial stage is completed by registering basic information such as.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Buyer inputs the quotation closing time, limit of residence area of seller, type of goods purchased, quantity, price, and other information necessary for order by using quotation request menu. And, if the above-mentioned quotation is sent to the filling out request (202), the transfer to the main server and stored in the server DB, the main server of the contents of the quotation request stored in the server DB the buyer's restrictions condition Selecting a plurality of sellers to fit, and sends a request for a quote in real time to a number of sellers online (203), the offline seller will send a request for quotation immediately upon access to the main server.

A number of sellers who have received the quotation request can use the quotation request list menu to search the list of the buyer's quotation requests, and can also view text and attachment information on the buyer's quotation request as detailed information (205).

If the seller is willing to sell the item for the buyer's request for quotation, use the quote creation menu in the request list menu to enter the type of item, quantity, price, delivery status, and after-sales period. (206). When preparing the above-mentioned quotation, the quotation of the corresponding catalog, other detailed descriptions, etc. can be prepared in the form of an attached file.

I can figure it out.

The present invention is a new concept P2C (Person to Community) method that overcomes the limitations of the existing e-commerce concept cyber shopping mall method and P2P method has the following invention effect.

First, all existing e-commerce methods require access to the e-commerce homepage in order to make a transaction. However, according to the present invention, the buyer or seller, that is, the user does not need to access the home page again for commerce after the user has accessed once to download the user-only program.

Second, the existing e-commerce method allows the seller to register the product catalog on the home page in advance, and the buyer selects and purchases the product catalog. However, this e-commerce method not only allows the product catalog to be attached when requesting a quotation. There is a textual description of the ordered product, which eliminates the expected error in the e-commerce communication between the buyer and seller.

Third, in the conventional e-commerce method, all sellers registered to sell the goods were subject to the transaction, but this e-commerce method allows the buyer to select a region (gu, city, province, nationwide) to purchase. Requests for quotations are made only to sellers in the market, and the time limit for quotations is prevented, thereby avoiding the unnecessary receipt of many quotations and improving the efficiency of the buyer's purchasing business.

It can also be applied to service purchases, which includes all transactions.

Fifth, while the conventional e-commerce method is impossible or inconvenient in the online transaction process, the e-commerce method can facilitate the price negotiation.

Sixth, the most important effect of the invention is to dramatically revitalize the G2B market by converting the method of procurement of less than 30 million won, which is made by telephone or fax, into electronic direct trading through the Internet. It is possible to drastically improve procurement administration by improving the efficiency of procurement of administrative agencies, inexpensive purchasing and transparent purchasing.
