TV home-shopping method using mobile phone {TV home-shopping method using mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a TV home shopping method using a mobile phone. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technology for enabling purchase or ordering of goods while watching a TV home shopping channel on a mobile terminal.

Home shopping is generally performed through the Internet or through a broadcasting medium such as a TV. However, in terms of providing product information of products to be purchased in a variety of ways with certainty, home shopping through a broadcasting medium in which real-time moving images are fully implemented is popularized.

That is, when a buyer watches an advertisement of a product on a TV and wants to purchase it, the buyer calls the home shopping company that advertises the product, presents the color, size or quantity of the product to purchase, and provides a payment method and delivery information.

In addition, since personal information or credit information is directly provided to the telemarketer of the home shopping company, the reliability of the delivery is not secured, and the risk of leakage is always inherent.

In order to improve such a method, Patent Application No. 2000-3488 installs a relay server to interconnect a home shopping broadcast program and an internet site linked with a home shopping broadcast program to sell a client terminal and a product, and the relay server installs a user's product. In response to a connection request signal according to a purchase request, an Internet site is immediately connected to enable a user to easily purchase a product, and a sales server is proposed to further increase sales of a product.

However, even in such a method, there is a problem in that a user burden increases because hardware resources such as an Internet TV equipped with a set top box must be used essentially.

Moreover, since the buyer information is transmitted from the client terminal, it was impossible to purchase a product while watching a home shopping advertisement on the move or in another region.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to purchase a TV home shopping method using a mobile phone that allows you to purchase or order goods while watching TV home shopping channels in the mobile terminal regardless of time and place in the purchase of goods. To provide.
