Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described in detail. However, these drawings are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 is a system configuration of one embodiment in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system according to the present invention includes a server 10 and a terminal 40 connected to the server 10 through an internet network 30 (open network).

The server 10 is a member DB (11), auction article DB (12), the bidding criteria price DB (13), tolerance amount DB (14), bidding DB (15), successful bid DB (16), bidding criteria generation module ( 17), the central processing unit equipped with the tolerance amount generation module 18, the bidding module 19, the bid fee collection module 20, the successful bidding module 21, the successful bid collection module 22 and the plurality of modules ( And an internet access device (not shown) for connecting the server 10 to the internet network 30. The various DBs and modules may be omitted as necessary to form a system.

The member DB 11 records personal information, bidding information, successful bidding information, bidding fee information, and the like of a member. In particular, the bidding fee is recorded in the member DB (11) in the form of an electronic coupon (bid coupon) by prepayment, it can be configured that the electronic coupon is automatically extinguished when the member bids on the auction.

The auction article DB 12 has information on items that are being auctioned or scheduled to be auctioned.

The bidding criterion price DB 13 stores a bidding criterion price, which is a reference amount at which a member starts bidding. The bidding price is set between 0 and the market price of the auction item. If necessary, the bidding price may be set to 0 or 10,000 won for all members. If the bidding criterion price is determined uniformly, the bidding criterion price DB 13 may be omitted.

The tolerance amount DB 14 stores a tolerance amount which is constantly added from the bidding reference price. Tolerance amounts fluctuate as needed for one won, two won, three won ... ten won ... Tolerance amount may be set in the system collectively such as 1, 10, 100. If the tolerance amount is fixed to all members, the tolerance amount DB 14 may be omitted.

The bidding DB 15 records the bidding contents of the members, and the successful bidding DB 16 records the successful bidding result.

The bidding criterion generating module 17 generates the bidding criterion price. The bidding criterion generation module 17 may generate a bidding criterion price only when a member participates in the bidding, or generate a bidding criterion for each time slot (hourly, minutely, or secondly) and store the bidding criterion price in the DB 13. It may be. In the case where the same bidding criteria are applied to all members, the bidding criteria generation module 17 may be omitted. The bidding price may or may not be disclosed to members who access the time zone. If not disclosed, it may be disclosed at the time of a successful bidder announcement, or may be disclosed collectively before the bid deadline. In the case of disclosure, the bidding price may be different for each member even if they bid in the same time. If not disclosed, the same bidding criteria are preferably applied to the bidding in the same time zone.

The tolerance amount generation module 18 generates a tolerance amount. Tolerance amount generation module 17 may generate a tolerance amount only when a member participates in the bidding, or generate it in time zones (hourly, minutely, and secondly) and store it in the tolerance amount DB 14. It may be. When the same tolerance amount is applied to all members, the tolerance amount generation module 17 may be omitted. The tolerance amount may or may not be disclosed to the member who accesses the time zone. If not disclosed, it may be disclosed at the time of a successful bidder announcement, or may be disclosed collectively before the bid deadline. In the case of disclosure, even if bidding is performed in the same time period, the tolerance amount may be different for each member. If not disclosed, the same tolerance amount is preferably applied to the bidding of the same time zone.

The bidding module 19 reports the auction information displayed on the terminal 40 to the members, and when bidding on the auction, the bidding information is recorded in the bidding DB 15. Members can bid in turn, bidding by the amount of tolerance from the bidding price. For example, if the bid price is 1,000 won and the tolerance is 10 won, you can bid at 1,010 won, 1,020 won, 1,030 won, 1,040 won, 1,050 won, 1,060 won (6 bids). You can't bid more than two, and you can't bid like 1,010, 1,030, 1,040, or 1,060 won. If you make 13 bids under the same conditions, you bid as 1,010, 1,020, 1,030, 1,040, 1,050, 1,060, 1,070, 1,080, 1,090, 1,100, 1,110, and 1,120.

After the bid deadline passes, the successful bidder module 21 determines the successful bidder and / or the successful bidder based on the bidding result of the bidding DB 15. Of course, the determination of the successful bidder and / or the successful bid amount by the successful bidder module 21 may be determined manually by printing the bidding details. When the successful bidder and / or the successful bidder are determined by the successful bidder module 21, the successful bidder and / or the content of the successful bidder and the amount of the successful bidder are recorded in the successful bidder DB 16 and / or the member DB11. The auction module 21 wins the bid of the highest amount of bids.

The successful bidder and / or successful bidder announces this, notifies the relevant member, and the successful bidder collection module 21 operates to collect the successful bidder from the member. The collection of the winning price may be received by the passbook payment, and the operator of the server may input that the winning price has been collected. If necessary, the winning price collection module 21 may be processed manually.

Once the winning bidder is decided and the winning bid is received, the goods are delivered.
