Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and reproduce the present invention.

In the product information providing system according to the present invention, product information posted on a website such as a shopping mall site is divided into static information that does not require option processing and dynamic information that can process options.

The static information may be information manually written by an administrator, or in the case of goods of the same kind, may be collectively processed by software.

The dynamic information includes a part capable of processing options, that is, an option factor that can be selected by an administrator or a user.

The option factor constituting the dynamic information may be at least one selection item set by an option value selected from at least two selection options.

In addition, the option factor constituting the dynamic information may be a function combining a selection item set by an option value selected from at least two selection options, or a combination of at least two functions.

For example, an optional factor including color and size is used as dynamic information, and a description will be given using a cotton tee, which is a garment having static information of a product type, a product name, a manufacturer, a description of the cotton tee, and an image of the cotton tee as static information.

In order to post the product information about this noodle on the shopping mall site bulletin board, the administrator prepares the product information and stores it in the product information database.

Since the commodity information for the noodle is composed of static information and dynamic information, the administrator manually edits the static information including the product type, product name, manufacturer, description of the noodle and the image of the noodle and the dynamic information. By selecting the option value for the optional color and size to be included in the option argument to be included in the product information, the product information for this cotton tee is stored in the product information database, and the product information is provided on the Internet through a predetermined web page.

If the option for the color is c1, green for c2, green for c3, and blue for c3, the option for the color is 85; if the option for the size is s1, 85, 90 for s2. If s3 is set to 95, when the administrator inputs c3 and s2 as options for the dynamic information, the dynamic information portion of the product information for the cotton tee posted on the web page is a blue color and a 90 size cotton tee.

Meanwhile, the option argument may be defined and set in a function form and stored in the option argument database. If a function called f (c, s) is defined as a function c representing a color and s represents a size, and is stored in the option factor database, and the option value for the color in the option factor database is c1. If it is set to red, green for c2, and blue for c3, and the option value for the size is set to 85 for s1, 90 for s2, or 95 for s3, the manager is an option for dynamic information. If f (c3, s2) is input, the dynamic information portion of the product information for the cotton tee posted on the web page is blue color, 90 size cotton tee.

On the other hand, in the case of a complex product such as a computer main body, dynamic information of product information is applied to mother option factors such as CPU, RAM, HDD, VGA card, CD-ROM, and MODEM, and each mother option factor such as 133Mhz CPU and 1.4GHz CPU. It may also include optional arguments.

In addition, it can be divided into essential option factors such as CPU, RAM, HDD, VGA card and the like, and optional option factors such as CD-ROM and MODEM.

Therefore, in the product information providing system according to the present invention, the part that can be processed by option in the product information is defined as option factors, each of the defined option factors are set and stored in the option factor database, and stored when registering or modifying the product information By combining the option arguments in various ways and applying the product information, it is possible to collectively process and provide a portion of the product information that can be processed by the product on the product such as a shopping mall site.

1 is an exemplary diagram of option factors constituting dynamic information included in product information.

As shown in the drawing, the option factors constituting the dynamic information included in the product information include each selection option including options 1 to 4, and option functions 1 and 3 including at least one of the above selection options. , 5 and at least one of the option functions 1, 3, and 5 and / or at least one of the option functions 2 and 4 including at least one or more of the options 1 to 4.

The product information providing system according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

2 is a block diagram according to an embodiment of a product information providing system according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the product information providing system 100 according to the present invention is a product information database 110, an optional factor database 120, a product information processing unit 130, a product information output unit 140, an optional factor management unit 150, a product information management unit 160, a product price processing unit 170, and a product selection unit 180.

The product information database 110 stores product information of each product including static information and dynamic information.

The option factor database 120 stores definitions and setting information for option factors constituting dynamic information included in the product information.

The commodity information processing unit 130 reads commodity information to be output from the commodity information database 110, and sets option information of option factors constituting dynamic information included in the read commodity information in the option factor database. It reads from 120 and processes it into the product information output form.

The product information output unit 140 provides the product information output form processed by the product information processing unit 130 to the client computer 200 connected to the network through a predetermined web page.
