With reference to the drawings will be described in more detail the online membership registration method according to the present invention.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of a system used in the online membership method according to the present invention.

The offline transaction information database 10 stores transaction details of all products sold through a transaction medium other than an Internet e-commerce site. If there is a mail order through a home shopping TV or a catalog, the telephone order processing of the agent is processed by the agent's computer, and the user's name, social security number, contact information, shipping address, and card number, which are input during the order processing, are offline transactions. It is stored in an information database.

The offline transaction information database 10 is connected to an e-commerce website server through a communication network. Since the offline transaction information includes credit card information or personal information, a firewall is installed to prevent leakage.

The member information database 20 stores information of a user who has subscribed as a member of an e-commerce website.

The authentication server 30 includes whether or not to use the offline transaction information in the membership registration process, including an authentication means for confirming the identity of the user who wishes to register as a transaction subject in the offline transaction information stored in the offline transaction information database. Determining the function.

The e-commerce website operation server 40 is connected to the offline transaction information database and the member information database through a communication network, and serves to provide an e-commerce website site capable of electronic commerce. In addition, it is connected to the user's computer through an internet communication network to provide a web page for membership in the e-commerce website.

Referring to Figure 2 is a membership registration process according to the present invention.

First, when a user accesses an e-commerce website and applies for membership, the shopping mall operating server generates a registration webpage and transmits it to a user computer (S10). The initial screen of the member registration web page may display the member registration procedure and terms and conditions.

If the user inquires the contents of the initial screen and agrees to the terms and the like, the shopping mall operation server generates and transmits a basic information input window for inputting the basic information of the user (S20).

When the basic information is input from the user computer and transmitted, the shopping mall management server searches the offline transaction information database and determines whether there is a previous user that matches the transmitted basic information (S30). At this time, since two or more different users who match the basic information can be searched, it is preferable to input the information having low redundancy or to input two or more basic information so that the redundancy is close to zero. More preferably, in order to prevent the leakage of personal information, the information having zero redundancy degree such as the user's social security number should be input to the basic information input window.

When a user who matches the inputted basic information is found, the shopping mall operating server notifies the user that there is matching information and generates a selection window asking whether to use the information and transmitting the generated selection window to the user computer (S40). In this case, since it is not confirmed whether the user who wishes to register as a user and the user stored in the offline transaction information database is confirmed, only the existence of user information is displayed and it is preferable not to transmit the retrieved user information to the user computer.

If a user who matches the input basic information is not searched, the shopping mall operation server generates a web page in which the user can directly fill out a registration form and transmits it to the user's computer (S80). The same applies if the user refuses to use the retrieved previous transaction information.

If the user wants to use the searched previous transaction information, an approval signal according to the click of the selection window is transmitted to the shopping mall operating server, and the shopping mall operating server receiving the approval signal provides an authentication means for confirming the identity of the user. The authentication procedure start signal is transmitted to the authentication system including the authentication process.

The authentication system receiving the authentication procedure start signal drives an authentication means (S50).

In one embodiment of the present invention, the authentication means is a password transmission means for transmitting a password in the form of a message to the user's mobile phone number contained in the information retrieved from the database and the password retransmitted by the user and the password transmitted by the password transmission means Means for determining the identity of a.

In another embodiment, the authentication means presents an input window for inputting a credit card number and password used as a payment means in any transaction among the search history of the searched user, and inputs the entered card number and password into a database. It may be a means of judging identity against what is recorded.

The authentication means is not limited to the above embodiments and may be implemented in various forms, and in the case of a means that can be easily suggested by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, will be included in the technical scope of the present invention. Can be.

The authentication means determines the identity of the user (S60),

1) If the identity is confirmed, the authentication system transmits a signal informing that the identity is confirmed to the e-commerce website operation server, and the e-commerce website operation server receiving the signal extracts necessary information from the previous transaction information database. Each of the information is stored in the corresponding field of the member information database, and a web page indicating that the membership is approved is generated and transmitted to the user computer (S70).

2) If the identity is denied, the authentication system transmits a signal indicating that the identity is confirmed to the e-commerce website operation server, and the e-commerce website operation server receiving the signal is not the same as the user stored in the database. Create and send a web page to the user's computer. Subsequently, the e-commerce website operation server generates a registration web page for the user to directly input the information necessary for membership registration and transmits it to the user computer (S80).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, if the identity is confirmed, the e-commerce website operation server may further include generating an identification means for identifying a member and storing it in a corresponding field of the member information database. The identification means may be a user ID or the like which is a general means for identifying a user on a website. In one embodiment according to the present invention, the step of generating the identification means may be performed by combining a name and a date of birth in the user data. Generate the identification means by comparing the generated identification means with other identification means stored in the member information database, and if not, store the generated identification means in the member information database, and the same identification means exist. In this case, the generated identification means may be modified to repeat the above process until it is determined that the same identification means does not exist.

In addition, as a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, if the identity is confirmed, the e-commerce website operation server extracts the necessary information from the previous transaction information database to use the member registration form and the displayed information as described in the respective fields Transmitting a web page including a confirmation window confirming that the information is to the user's computer, and providing a means for modifying the displayed information if the user does not want to use the displayed information as it is. have.
