Abstract

PURPOSE: An electronic commerce system among staffs is provided to reduce a delivery cost by enabling a colleague staff to purchase commodities through a staff shopping mall. CONSTITUTION: A user connects to a staff shopping mall search unit(S201). The shopping mall search unit requests that the user inputs a company, a company place, and one's name in accordance with a user interface format(S202). The user inputs or selects a local area and a company on a corresponding user interface(S203). The shopping mall search unit receives the company and the user's name(S205) and judges whether a staff shopping mall corresponded to the company and the user's name exists(S206). If a staff shopping mall corresponded to the company and the user's name exists and the current mode is a consumer mode(S208), a connection address of a corresponding shopping mall is detected(S209). A user computer receives the corresponding connection address and connects to the address(S211).

Description

Electronic Commerce System Between Employee

The present invention relates to an online shopping mall (hereinafter referred to as an employee shopping mall) operated by an employee at work. It is a common belief that an employee is a type of production entity that provides workforce and salary to a workplace by contract and not by selling goods. But the staff in this system go beyond that stereotype and also act as sellers selling goods to fellow employees.

In other words, the main agent of the online shopping mall, which is the basic unit of the system of the present invention, is the employee of the workplace and the main customer of the online shopping mall operated by the employee is the colleague. In other words, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a basis for e-commerce between coworkers.

In fact, in reality, the individual employees are not currently engaged in the sales business, but usually have an indirect connection with the sales business. For example, your family may be an employee of a sales store, even if your family runs a sales store. You can register the products offered by the family's store in your shopping mall. Or, if your family is an employee of another manufacturer, you may want to register the products that the manufacturer makes in the employee shopping mall. This allows employees to do the same sales activities as their regular online shopping mall with their colleagues, even if they don't have their own inventory.

Alternatively, another business type using the system of the present invention may display transaction or exchange information of used goods, or display rental information of goods stored without writing new product information.

The employee shopping mall is no different from the general online shopping mall in terms of system configuration. However, it would be nice to express the identity of the online shopping mall run by the employees clearly. For example, you can decorate your home page with your own images and introduce yourself personally.

In addition, the system of the present invention may be a system in which several shopping malls are operated together in a system such that other employees in the same workplace may operate a shopping mall in the system so that commerce can occur between each other. This is the same way that multi-family homes are built and sold in the real world, and several generations live in the same structured house in the same building.

After the description of the business type to help the understanding of the present invention will be described with respect to the prior art and system underlying the present invention.

Recently, the spread of Internet line services such as computers and ADSL and mobile communication terminals has been rapidly spread, greatly expanding the basis for electronic commerce.

Electronic commerce is a transaction in which all or part of a transaction of goods or services is processed by electronic methods such as electronic document exchange. In e-commerce, in the real world, commerce agents are all involved similarly to commerce.

E-commerce can be thought of as being divided into business-to-business e-commerce (B2B) and business-to-consumer electronic commerce (B2C). In the simplest case of e-commerce between a business and a consumer, a virtual mall that provides goods or services, a consumer who purchases goods or services in a cyber mall, a virtual bank or credit card company engaged in monetary relations to goods, etc. In this e-commerce, it becomes the subject of a transaction.

The online shopping mall system used in electronic commerce can be classified into a standalone operation, a mall-of-mals method, and an application service provider (ASP) method according to its configuration.

The standalone operation is a way in which one shopping mall exists in one system. Since a company owns and operates a shopping mall, it is possible to freely build a system according to a company's own intention. Therefore, it has the advantage that it can fully reflect the company's sales guidelines or ideas, but it has the disadvantage that it requires a technical manpower and requires a lot of capital because it builds the system by itself. In addition, since it must be promoted alone, the effect of attracting consumers is inferior. Therefore, it is not suitable for small businesses or individuals with insufficient capital.

The mall-of-mols method is a method of preparing a separate entry shopping mall in an existing large online shopping mall to sell a product, and the large online shopping mall collects a certain portion of the sales as a fee. The store manager can register his or her shopping mall in a large system that has been built in hardware and software in advance, and register the product information that he or she handles to make online sales. In addition to the product information, other processing means such as payment processing are commonly used in various shopping malls that have been previously built in the system. This is similar to the way a company rents a corner to a department store in the real world. This method has the advantage that small and medium-sized companies or individuals can make e-commerce sales with less capital and manpower input, and benefit from the brand power of large shopping malls in the internal shopping malls. In addition, there is a drawback that you must follow what is set by a large shopping mall. In addition, a portion of the sales amount must be paid as a commission, which may cause a rise in the selling price.

The software lease method takes an intermediate method to take advantage of the above two methods. First, it is similar to the mall-of-mols method in that several shopping malls are executed together in one system and other processing means other than product information and contents are shared. However, this method respects each shop's own sales method, idea or web design and menu composition as much as possible. You do not receive commissions for sales, but only for a certain amount of hardware and software fees. For each internal shopping mall, a simple URL that can be presented to the consumer is provided, and the shopping mall manager can set and forward his / her own preferred domain address. Therefore, the consumer's point of view is to feel like visiting a shopping mall that operates alone.

In order to maximize the uniqueness of the internal shopping mall, the software rental shopping mall system also provides a software means for constructing components such as web designs and menus within individual online shopping malls. However, the uniqueness of a shopping mall is not as perfect as a standalone shopping mall.

This feature allows small businesses and individuals to open their own shopping malls without excessive initial investment or manpower.

The system used in the present invention is most suitable based on a software rental method among the above three shopping mall configuration methods, and a few similar shopping mall software rental systems (hereinafter referred to as a 'shopping mall ASP system') described as an example of implementation thereof. It is to be understood that the embodiments can be implemented by adding data models and process models.

Now, the shopping mall ASP system will be described with reference to the embodiment.

1 is a diagram illustrating a server and client configuration and overall process of a shopping mall ASP system.

As shown in the figure, the shopping mall ASP system 20 exists as a central server system serving the entire client basically, and the other computers of the store include the mall manager computer 50, the consumer computer 35, and the site manager. There is a computer 30, a delivery company computer 45, a product provider computer 40, and the like. In addition, a payment gateway 55 exists as a payment system for payment for a service or a product between participating entities, and acts in connection with a financial institution 60 such as a bank or a card company. Each server and the client are connected by a network 10, 11, 12, 13, such as the Internet to communicate with each other.

The store shopping mall manager computer 50 refers to a client computer for managing a company or an individual who intends to sell by providing a unique store shopping mall 25 in a shopping mall ASP system. The store shopping mall manager uses the store shopping mall manager computer 50 to process registration applications for new store shopping malls, setting and changing shopping mall resources and sales policies, authoring consumer interfaces, registering products, confirming orders, and requesting delivery of goods. can do.

The consumer computer 35 refers to a client computer used by a consumer who visits an entry shopping mall registered in a shopping mall ASP system, retrieves product information, and places an order. The consumer may use the consumer computer 35 to process product information inquiry, product order, delivery processing information inquiry, payment information input, and result message confirmation.

The product provider computer 40 refers to a client computer used by a manufacturer or an intermediate seller that provides a product to be delivered to a consumer. The product provider computer 40 serves to inquire a consumer order history and look up the amount of the product stock held by a store shopping mall company.

The site manager computer 30 is a client computer used by a manager of a company that manages a shopping mall ASP system. The site manager computer 30 manages necessary items at the overall system level, such as querying the status of the shopping mall, managing shopping mall fees, managing all consumer members, and viewing all statistical information. Can handle the matter.

Payment Gatewaty (55) is an electronic payment system that handles payment of goods at the time of ordering and payment of entrance fee or fee of the shopping mall manager in connection with a financial institution 60 such as a card company or a bank. ) And a system that acts as a server for the entry mall manager computer 50. Electronic Decision System consists of payment server, gateway, and customer information management system, CICS (Cumputer Information Control System) .The gateway inputs and reconfirms customer's information as a customer by changing product quantity, canceling ordered products and calculating selected products. Select a payment method such as credit card, bank transfer, or online deposit. If the payment method is credit card, the credit card information is entered. If the account is transferred, the payment account is entered. The customer information management system comes from each terminal, device and server. Information can be processed simultaneously and consists of a database and a maintenance system.

In addition, the billing system has a built-in billing machine (Billing Machine) to perform a billing operation that combines a calculation function and a recording function, and is built for secure electronic transaction processing (SET) Secure Electronic Transaction (SSL) and secure socket layer SSL ( Layer level encryption method such as Secure Socket Layer Protocol or other public key based (PKI) encryption method is used to prevent security maintenance and hacking through the Internet or network.

As described above, the server and client configuration and overall process of the shopping mall ASP system will be described with reference to FIG. 1, and then the process and data model of the system will be described.

2 is a diagram briefly showing a process and a data model of a shopping mall ASP system.

The process models of the system are largely divided into four process models shown in the drawing. The store shopping mall front 101 is a set of processes for serving a customer who is a customer of each store shopping mall. The store shopping mall back office 102 is a set of processes for responding to the management of each shopping mall and required for the shopping mall manager, the delivery company manager, the product provider, and the like. 'ASP front 103' is a set of processes for responding to a store shopping mall manager who is a customer of a shopping mall ASP system in connection with management of an ASP system. 'ASP back office 104' is a set of processes that allow a site administrator who is an ASP system administrator to perform a process related to the management of the entire system. The detailed role of each process model will be discussed more clearly in the section describing the main process flows.

3 is a flowchart illustrating the process of registering, modifying, and logging in to a shopping mall. The flow chart of FIG. 3 displays the flow of a consumer, a customer, in the entry shopping mall 25, in communication with the system via his client computer 35 and the networks 10, 11, 13. In the following drawings, a rectangle in which a vertex portion is treated as a curve represents a selection or behavior of a client user, and a rectangle that does not represent a system operation. First, when the consumer wants to modify his / her membership information and selects the member editing menu (S101), it is determined whether the user is currently logged in (S102), and when the user is logged in, the consumer data model 501 obtains the consumer's information (S103). In step S104, if the user displays the information on the display means of the consumer and the user corrects the information and selects the storage (S104), the information is partially encrypted and stored in the consumer data model 501 (S105). At this time, the consumer information such as the consumer's consumer number in the part of importing and storing the consumer information is shared with the common modules (Sign In, Sing On, S103, S105) for common use in the entire shopping mall and other external sites. The consumer data model 501 will be used. If the consumer who selects member modification (S101) is not logged in, the consumer goes through a login process (S105) before modification.

If the first visited consumer selects member registration (S109), the member registration form is displayed on the consumer computer 35 so that the member information can be recorded, and if the consumer enters the member information according to the form and selects save (S108). The system completes the process by storing the information in the consumer data model 501 through some encryption process (S105).

4 is a flowchart of a process in which a consumer purchases a product at an entry shopping mall. First, a consumer visits an entry shopping mall to purchase a product (S121), and then executes a product search by selecting a corresponding product classification from a classification list of a product or searching by inputting a specific product keyword (S122). In response to the request of the consumer, the system provides a list of products and receives the detailed information selection of the specific product from the consumer (S123). The system detects and provides detailed information and shipping charge information of the product selected by the consumer in the goods data model 510 and the shipping charge data model 503 (S124). When the consumer selects the corresponding product, the corresponding product is entered in the shopping cart purchase product list (S125). The consumer can repeat the process from S121 to S125 to select the purchased product. When the consumer selects the product and selects the order, the system adds the corresponding product price and shipping fee and requests the consumer to make a payment (S126). The consumer selects a payment method such as mileage payment (S129), bankbook payment (S130), or Internet credit payment (S131), and the system requests input of corresponding information when additional information is required for the selected payment method (S127). If the payment method selected by the consumer is internet credit payment, the payment gateway 55 receives the payment approval of the credit account input by the consumer (S131). When the payment process is completed, the system stores the order details of the product in the order data model (504) (S129, S130, S131), and also displays the payment processing completion history on the consumer computer, and the messaging service to the store shopping mall manager computer. After notification (S128) complete the process.

5 is a flow chart of a process for a site administrator or a store manager to log in to a back office. The site administrator or the administrator of the shopping mall enters the administrator login screen and inputs login information such as an ID and a password in order to process his / her work (S141). The system first executes a process of encrypting the corresponding information before authenticating the login information input by the administrator (S142). The reason for executing the encryption process first is to prevent the external exposure of the login input information in the process because each shopping mall and the external site must share the administrator information and the single sign-on module (S143), which is an authentication module, through the network. For that. The encrypted login information and the information related to the access client are first stored in the log data model 505 (S142). The encrypted login input information is transmitted to the single sign-on module S143, which is an authentication module, through a network to request authentication for the corresponding input login information. The single sign on module (S143) detects and decrypts the administrator's authentication information encrypted and stored in the administrator data model, checks whether it matches the input login information (S143), and if it matches, the login to the ASP front 103 succeeds. Notify (S144) the process is terminated.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an entry shopping mall registration application and a change process of the entry shopping mall manager.

First, the shopping mall manager selects the shopping mall registration change in order to modify the information and environment related to his shopping mall (S151). If the user is logged in (S152), the shopping mall data model is entered. Retrieves the information of the shopping mall and displays it on the display device of the shopping mall manager computer 50, and the shopping mall manager modifies the information and selects the storage to encrypt some of the information and store it in the shopping mall data model 502. It is made (S154).

If the entry shopping mall manager who has selected to change the entry shopping mall registration (S151) is not logged in, the login process before modification is performed (S153).

If the first visiting mall manager selects the entry shopping mall registration application (S155), the entry shopping mall registration form is displayed on the entry shopping mall manager computer 50 so that the entry shopping mall information can be recorded, and the entry shopping mall manager matches the entry shopping mall information according to the form. After inputting the selection, the system stores the information in the shopping mall data model 502 through some encryption process (S156).

Next, the entry shopping mall manager must select the capacity information of the entry shopping mall (hard disk usage, the number of products, the number of sub stores). When the shopping mall manager selects the capacity, the system calculates the price of the corresponding capacity (S157) and requests payment from the shopping mall manager (S158). The shopping mall manager selects a payment method such as bank account payment (S130) or Internet credit payment (S131), and the system requests input of the corresponding information when additional information is required for the selected payment method (S158). If the payment method selected by the consumer is internet credit payment, the payment gateway 55 receives the payment approval of the credit account input by the consumer (S131). When the payment processing process is completed, the system stores the capacity information of the shopping mall in the shopping mall environment data model 508 (S130, S131), and also displays the payment processing completion details on the shopping mall manager computer 50, and the site. After notifying the administrator computer 30 of the messaging service (S128), the process is completed.

FIG. 7 is a list of detailed process models that can be selected and executed in an entry shopping mall back office by a normally logged in shopping mall manager. Looking at the contents of the listed process, there is no big difference from that in general shopping mall system, but there is a feature of ASP shopping mall system in providing shop front author. In this application, descriptions of all processes listed in the list will be omitted, and only the main process model will be presented in the flowchart.

8 is a flowchart of an order management process of an entry shopping mall manager in an entry shopping mall back office. 9 is a flow diagram of an entertaining process for a courier and a product provider at an entry shopping mall back office. Detailed description of the process will be omitted.

In the above, the shopping mall system of a software rental method, which is a conventional shopping mall system, is most suitable for applying the present invention. It is illustrated and described as an existing shopping mall system most suitable in the nature of the present invention in which several shopping malls coexist in one system. However, the present invention is not necessarily applied only to the software rental method, but can be easily applied to the above-described mall-of-moles method, and even if the shopping mall system is a single shopping mall system, the present invention can be applied as an associated site of individual shopping mall sites. It is.

It will be described with respect to the challenges to achieve the features of the present invention described in the business model of the present invention.

First, there is a staff shopping mall search means in the implementation system of the present invention, the user enters the actual company name, business name, employee name, etc. directly in the input field or on the input selection list on the user interface of the search means. If selected, it is a task to switch to the representative screen of the employee shopping mall corresponding to the employee (Forwarding) or, in the administrator mode, to forward to the back office login screen of the employee shopping mall. The user interface may be implemented in various ways, such as a method of selecting or directly inputting a selection list field (FIG. 10) and a directory selection format (FIG. 11).

The second task is to implement a means for displaying a list of other employee shopping malls included in a company or a business of the employee shopping mall on a user screen of the employee shopping mall. At this time, the range included in the list may be determined by policy judgment. For example, it can be a company unit or a business unit. When the user selects a specific employee shopping mall and sees the information of the employee shopping malls listed in the corresponding list, the user is switched to the representative screen of the employee shopping mall or forwarded to the back office login screen of the corresponding employee shopping mall in the manager mode.

The third task is to detect the number of consumers by detecting the cookie information left on the consumer computer 35 because the consumer has logged in or has been logged in or previously logged in to the implementation system of the present invention. Is an office worker, the present invention is to implement a means for displaying a list of employee shopping malls included in the company or workplace by detecting the company or workplace to which the consumer belongs. At this time, the range included in the list may be determined by policy judgment. For example, it can be a company unit or a business unit. After viewing the information of the employee shopping malls listed in the list, if the consumer selects a specific employee shopping mall, the screen is forwarded to the representative screen of the employee shopping mall.

Fourth, there is a product search means for searching a product in the implementation system of the present invention using keywords such as a product name, a product classification name, a product model name, a manufacturer name, a brand name, a natural language sentence, and the like. If you select a search by entering a keyword on the user interface, you can search for the user's actual affiliation (company or business) first, but then search by prioritizing the items from the smallest to the largest (business-> company) It is a task to implement a system for displaying a list containing information and information of a shopping mall that holds a corresponding product. When the user views the product information and the shopping mall information listed in the corresponding product list and selects one of the lists, the user is forwarded to the corresponding product detailed information screen of the corresponding shopping mall.

The fifth task is to implement a system for searching first in a company or a workplace selected by a user in a product search system that produces the same results in the same search target data model used in the fourth task. The geographic range that you select may be a subrange (business) or a larger range (company).

In the sixth task, when an employee who operates an employee shopping mall leaves the company and applies for a change of affiliation (administrative or postal address) corresponding to the employee shopping mall, the system handles the change of the data model for the new employee. It is a task to implement notifying employees who are staff shopping mall operators through an e-mail or an online message.

In a seventh task, there is a data model that stores product information provided by a product provider in an implementation system of the present invention. When a manager of an employee shopping mall searches for the data model and selects a specific product, the product data model of the employee shopping mall is stored. It is a task to provide the corresponding product information on the consumer interface of the employee shopping mall by copying the corresponding product information or inputting the pointing information (product number, etc.) for the product information. In addition, when the product provider registers a new product in the data model, the manager computer of the employee shopping mall is notified of the registration through the messaging service.

The implementation method for the above-mentioned problems will be described in detail in the 'structure of the invention'.

First, I will explain how to implement the first task among the tasks presented in 'Technical task to be achieved'.

12 is a configuration of a relational data model exemplified for explaining the first, second, third, and sixth problems among the technical problems to be achieved by the invention. It is important to note that the implementation of the proposed task does not necessarily follow the organization of this data model and can be changed by policy judgment.

The first task is to display a representative screen of the employee shopping mall corresponding to the address if the user directly enters the actual company name, business name, employee name, etc. in the input field or selects the input selection list on the user interface of the employee shopping mall search means. In the case of forwarding or admin mode, the task is to forward to the back office login screen of the employee shopping mall.

FIG. 13 is a process flowchart of a method in which a user inputs or selects a company name, a business name, an employee name, and the like to access an employee shopping mall. In this context, a user includes a consumer, an employee shopping mall manager, a product provider, and a delivery company manager.

First, the user has access to the employee shopping mall search means for the purpose of searching for the employee shopping mall (S201). Then, the shopping mall searching means requests the user to input the company, business place, region, and employee name according to the user interface type shown in FIG. 10 or 11 (S202). Then, the user inputs or selects a region and a company displayed on the user interface (S203), and the shopping mall search means detects a list of sub-businesses or employees belonging to the region and company selected by the user and provides them to the consumer computer ( S204). For example, if a user selects Seoul from a region name and inputs a company name, the shopping mall search means detects and provides a list of businesses in Seoul from the workplace data model 523. Thus, when the user completes all selections or inputs up to the lowest employee name, the shopping mall search means receives the corresponding affiliation and the employee name (S205), and determines whether there is an employee shopping mall corresponding thereto (S206). At this time, the shopping mall address 525 data model may be used as the data model. If it does not exist, the user is guided through a message (S207). If present, if the current user accesses the consumer mode, the access address of the shopping mall is detected (S209). In the manager mode, the employee shopping mall back office access address is detected and provided to the user computer. do. For example, the access address of the shopping mall may be detected by the URL providing rule of the shopping mall when the system is a 'shopping mall ASP system' and the access through the Internet, or when there is a domain forwarding domain address. You can also provide an address. For example, even in the case of a single shopping mall system, the system may record the access addresses of the single shopping malls on the data model. After receiving the access address, the user computer forwards the access to the address (S211), and then ends the process.

The second task is to implement a means for displaying a list of other fellow employee shopping malls included in the company or business of the employee shopping mall on the user screen of the home shopping mall.

14 is a process flow diagram for a method of providing a colleague's employee shopping mall list in an employee shopping mall user interface. In this context, a user includes a consumer, an employee shopping mall manager, a product provider, and a delivery company manager.

First, a list of neighboring employee shopping malls is requested to a shopping mall searching unit while a user client computer is connected to an employee shopping mall or a back office of an employee shopping mall. Alternatively, when the user client computer accesses the employee shopping mall or the back office of the employee shopping mall, the request is automatically made (S221). The employee shopping mall searching means detects the affiliation (company and workplace) of the employee shopping mall once connected. In this case, the affiliation of the shopping mall may be detected from the shopping mall address 525 data model (S222). Then, a list of employee shopping malls belonging to a company or a business belonging to the connected employee shopping mall is detected (S223). At this time, the unit of membership is determined by policy judgment. It can be a company unit or a business unit. Again, the shopping mall address 525 data model is used. This is to select employee shopping malls of the same company or business that the employee shopping mall is connected to. Next, when the current user accesses the mode of the consumer mode, information to be sent to the user computer, such as access addresses and names of the shopping malls are detected (S225). In the manager mode, the employee shopping mall back office connection address and name are detected in the manager mode (S226). Information such as the names of the shopping malls may be used in the store shopping mall 502 data model that stores the overall information of the employee shopping mall. For example, access addresses of shopping malls may be detected by the URL providing rule of the shopping mall when the system is a 'shopping mall ASP system' and access through the Internet, or when there is a domain forwarding domain address. You can also provide an address. For example, even in the case of a single shopping mall system, the system may record the access addresses of the single shopping malls on the data model. The detected employee shopping mall information is transmitted to the user computer and displayed in the form of a connection list on the user computer. When the user selects and accesses the employee shopping mall he wants to access from the list (S227), the process is terminated.

The third task is to detect the consumer's number by detecting the cookie information left on the consumer computer 35 because the consumer has logged in and has logged in or has previously logged in to the implementation system of the present invention. If the consumer is an office worker, the present invention is to implement a means for displaying a list of the employee shopping malls included in the company or the workplace by detecting the company or workplace to which the consumer belongs. However, this task is implemented only when the consumer is a workplace. Alternatively, a company number and a business number field may be separately used on the consumer data model 501.

FIG. 15 is a process flowchart of a method of providing a staff shopping mall list of a colleague based on the belonging (company or business place) of a connected consumer.

First, the consumer accesses the employee shopping mall search means (S231). The employee shopping mall searching means determines whether the corresponding consumer is logged in (S232) and detects the affiliation (company and business) of the consumer based on the ID of the logged in consumer (S234). However, this is only relevant if the consumer is an office worker. It does not mean that the consumer is not an office worker. If the cookie on the secondary storage device of the consumer computer can be detected even when the user is not logged in (S233), the consumer's affiliation can be detected based on the ID or the consumer number recorded on the cookie (S234). ). At this time, the consumer 501 may be used as the data model. The process after detecting consumer affiliation is the same as that of the corresponding implementation method of the second task, so it will be omitted.

The fourth task is related to product search means. The task presented is to show the consumer a list of product information corresponding to the product search keyword, but search the priority of the search (a company or a business) that is related to the consumer first, and then select the priority of the subunits in order of the largest (business-> company). It is a task to implement a means of presenting a list of choices to a consumer in the order determined, searched and searched. In this case, the first local unit associated with the consumer is the company or business to which the employee shopping mall is connected. The second is the company or business of the consumer detected in the consumer data model 501 if the consumer has logged in or is able to detect a cookie with the consumer ID or number written on the consumer computer 35.

16 is a configuration of the relational data model illustrated to explain the fourth and fifth tasks among the technical problems to be achieved by the invention. It is important to note that the implementation of the proposed task does not necessarily follow the organization of this data model and can be changed by policy judgment. For example, instead of the shopping mall number, the access address of the shopping mall may use the product information access URL information instead of the product number. The two data models are data models that are constantly created or changed in order to support product search. The data is input by the operator of each shopping mall or the product data model of each shopping mall is searched and detected through the search engine itself. Can be constructed from generated data.

17 is a process flow diagram for a method of searching for a product based on affiliation unit associated with a consumer in order for the task to be implemented.

First, the consumer requests a product search by inputting a keyword such as a product name to be searched by accessing the product search means through his computer 35. In response to the request, the product search means first detects the affiliation of the consumer (S261). This may be a subordinate affiliation (place of business) or a higher affiliation (company).

Next, the product search means detects a list of shopping malls included in the affiliation (S262). In this case, the shopping mall address data model 525 may be used. Next, a list of product numbers corresponding to the shopping mall number and the keyword of the shopping mall list is detected (S263). At this time, the product search keyword data model 528 and the product data model 529 for each keyword shown in FIG. 17 may be used. Next, in the entry shopping mall data model 502 and the product data model 503 included in the list, short information such as a name and a connection URL are detected, and the corresponding information is transmitted to the consumer computer 35 (S264). The consumer computer 35 receives the information and displays a connection list on which the product and the shopping mall brief information are displayed on the user interface (S266). When the consumer finds a desired product in the list and selects the detailed information view of the specific product (S268), the user accesses the detailed information URL of the corresponding product (S269). If the consumer does not find a satisfactory product in the connection list displaying the product and the shopping mall briefly, and selects the next detection (S267), the product search means immediately selects the parent as a new search criterion or another child under the parent. The belonging is selected as a new search criterion (S265) and the same search execution is continued.

The fifth task is to implement a system for searching first in the organization (company or business) selected by the user in the product search system that produces the same result in the same search target data model used in the fourth task. The affiliation you select can be a subunit (business) or a large unit (company).

18 is a process flow diagram illustrating a method of searching for a product based on a belonging unit selected by a consumer.

First, the user inputs a keyword to be searched on his computer (S280), and then selects a unit of belonging (S281). 10 and 11 may be selected in the form of the user interface shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. In order to provide a corresponding selection list, the product search unit detects a list of the lower belonging units belonging to the lower part of the upper belonging unit selected by the user. To the consumer computer (S282). When the user selects a lower belonging unit, the search starts based on the belonging unit. The process after selecting the belonging unit is the same as the method described in the fourth task and will be omitted.

In the sixth task, when the employee who operates the employee shopping mall changes to a job and applies for a change of the actual affiliation (company or workplace) corresponding to the employee shopping mall, the system handles the change of the data model for the new employee. It is a task to implement notification of employees' shopping mall operators through e-mail or online messages.

19 is a process flowchart for belonging change processing and messaging service of an employee shopping mall. First, the manager of the employee shopping mall requests a change of membership by logging in to the back office of the employee shopping mall (S301). Next, the employee shopping mall manager enters a greeting to be sent to the new colleagues of the company belonging to the change and moved (S302). The address change means of the system receives the input change affiliation and greeting and actually changes the employee shopping mall affiliation on the shopping mall address data model 525 (S303). After the change processing is completed, the belonging change means detects a list of the employee shopping malls included in the unit of the employee's job transfer and transmits the greeting input by the employee shopping mall manager to the front desk or back office of the corresponding employee shopping mall through the messaging service ( S304). The back office or front desk of the fellow employee shopping mall receives the corresponding greeting message and displays the greeting message on the message display means (S305), and ends the process.

In a seventh task, there is a data model that stores product information provided by a product provider in an implementation system of the present invention. When a manager of an employee shopping mall searches for the data model and selects a specific product, the product data model of the employee shopping mall is stored. It is a task to provide the product information on the consumer interface of the employee shopping mall by copying the corresponding product information or inputting the pointing information (product number, etc.) for the product information. In addition, when the product provider registers a new product in the data model, the manager computer of the employee shopping mall is notified of the registration through the messaging service.

20 is a configuration of a relational data model exemplified for explaining the seventh task among the technical problems to be achieved by the invention. It is important to note that the implementation of the proposed task does not necessarily follow the organization of this data model and can be changed by policy judgment. In FIG. 20, there is a commodity provider commodity information data model 530 for storing commodity information provided by a commodity provider. If there is a corresponding data model, the commodity provider commodity information is used in the commodity data model 510 which is referred to in an actual employee shopping mall. The form that stores only the reference information of the data model is shown. However, in this case, it is possible under the assumption that two data models exist on the same computer. Actually, the actual product information fields exist in the product information of the employee shopping mall, and the data of the product provider product information data model are all copied. have.

The employee shopping mall manager searches the product provider product information data model from time to time and selects a product that he wants to enter, and registers the product on his employee shopping mall product data model. This makes it easy and simple for the employee shopping mall manager to register the product information, and the merchandise provider has the advantage of maintaining advertisements for new products and cooperation with the employee shopping mall.

In the above, it will be completed the description of the problems presented to implement the features of the present invention.

Consumers who are the main customers of employee shopping malls are more likely to be colleagues or relatives. In the best case, a co-worker buys a product as the main customer of an employee shopping mall. This can, in some cases, save shipping costs. Employees who commute to the manufacturer of the merchandise will be able to save the extra shipping cost if they transport the products that their colleagues applied through the employee shopping mall directly from their homes to the workplace.

Another advantage is that for manufacturers, they can have new outlets without incurring significant costs, and they can gain regular customers based on their friendliness. In addition, buyers have the advantage of being able to purchase goods at a low price since the distribution step is much simpler than general commerce.
