2 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of a sales server according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the configuration of the sales server 1 includes a collection / notification agent, a discount rate calculation agent, a sales / payment agent, a display agent, a database agent, and a manager agent. However, the configuration of the selling server is a logical configuration according to the server function.

The collection / notification agent performs the above-described passive collection and active collection, and stores the collected information in the database 8 in conjunction with a database (DB) agent. In addition, the collected information is broadcasted or multicasted to registered customers. In this case, broadcasting is transmitted to all customers (regardless of whether authentication is successful) that is currently accessing the sales server 1, and multicasting is collectively directed to customers registered as members regardless of access to the sales server 1 or not. To transmit. In addition, when the collection / notification agent receives new product information and discount information, product information, and changes of discount information from the online company servers 4 to 6, the manager notifies the reception of the corresponding information.

The collection / notification agent performs passive / active collection in conjunction with the manager agent, performs notification of product information and discount information to the customer, and receives notification of product registration and change fact of the partner company.

The operation of the collection / notification agent for passive collection is as follows.

The collection / notification agent that receives the product information and the discount information from the online company servers 4 to 6 notifies the administrator of the reception of the information. In this case, the notification method is generally used by e-mail. However, the notification method is not limited to the e-mail. Then, the manager notifies the customer of the received product information and discount information using the collection / notification agent linked through the manager agent. In addition, the manager stores the collected product information and discount information in the database (8) using a database (DB) agent linked to the collection / notification agent.

In addition, the manager who has received the product information and discount information from the offline company 7 executes the manager agent and inputs the product information and the discount information through the manager agent as illustrated in FIG. 4. Subsequently, the manager notifies the customer of product information and discount information of the offline companies 7 through a collection / notification agent linked to the manager agent. In addition, the manager stores the collected product information and discount information in the database 8 by using a database agent that is linked with the manager agent and the collection / notification agent.

Meanwhile, the operation of the collection / notification agent for active collection is as follows.

Once actively collected, the affiliate interface mode illustrated in FIG. 4 is required. Accordingly, a program for operating in an affiliate interface mode is installed in the affiliate servers 4 to 6 in advance. Accordingly, the person in charge of the affiliated company executes the installed program, inputs the product information and the discount information through the affiliated interface mode according to the program execution, and transmits it to the sales server 1.

Alternatively, in the present invention, the sales server 1 and the affiliated servers 4 to 6 share the product registration area of the database 8, so that the vendor servers 4 to 6 exchange the product through the affiliated interface mode. Upon registration, the database agent of the sales server 1 automatically retrieves the updated new registered product in the database 8 and informs the administrator through the collection / notification agent and / or the manager agent.

The collection / notification agent stores the product information and discount information received through the interface with the partner servers 4 to 6 in the database in association with the database agent and notifies the administrator of the reception of the information. We also inform customers of the information.

The collection / notification agent operates as follows for the additional functions of the sales server listed above.

-Collecting / notifying agent receives status information about each product by affiliates from time to time and stores it in association with database agent. In particular, the collection / notification agent is provided with the changed status information whenever the status of each product for each affiliate changes, and each time the status information stored in the database is updated.

-In case of a travel product, the collection / notification agent stores local conditions of each travel product in association with a database agent when the local situation of the destination is collected by the manager.

In addition, the collection / notification agent will inform the customer of the purchase of the travel product from time to time at the local location.

-The collection / notification agent notifies the customer of the sales status of the product of interest to the customer, the remaining quantity of the product and the closing date of the sale.

The discount rate calculation agent calculates a discount price by applying a limiting factor for each product and company based on the product information and discount information collected through the collection / notification agent.

3A to 3B are tables showing calculation examples of the discount rate calculation agent according to the present invention, and show an example of the operation of the discount rate calculation agent using time as a limiting factor.

Next, an operation of calculating a discount rate for each company / product using time as a limiting factor will be described with reference to FIG. 3A.

If the merchandise information and discount information collected through the collection / notification agent of the sales server 1 are shown in FIG. 4 and the current date is May 10, 2003, the discount calculation agent is discounted as in item 4. Calculate the price. That is, since the daily discount rate is 2.0% and the discount period is applied on May 1, 2003 and closes on May 20, 2003, the discounted period is 10 days. After all, the discount price is given by Equation 1 below.

Discounted price (KRW) = Elapsed date (10 days) × Daily discount rate (2.0%) × Normal price (KRW 1 million)

= 200,000 won

And the daily discount price of the company D is as shown in Figure 3b. As shown in FIG. 3B, the discount calculation agent accumulates a predetermined discount rate for each day from a discount start time to a closing date based on the registered product information and discount information, and calculates and stores a discount price in the database 8.

In practice, however, since the discounted price may change for each day / hour, the discount rate calculating agent requests the product information and the discount information stored in the database 8 when the customer approaches the sales server 1 and requests information about a specific product. Calculate the current discounted price over time using.

In addition, in the example of FIGS. 3A to 3B, a day may be defined as an hour or a month instead of a discount rate application unit. These discount rate units are determined by the partner and are determined by the characteristics of the product sold by the partner. In other words, if the partner is a company that sells food, an hour may be set as a discount unit. In addition, if the partner is a company that sells cars, a month may be set as a discount unit.

If the confectionery is a sales company, the bread made at 10 am may be registered in the sales server 1 to apply a discount rate on an hourly basis over the day. In addition, if you are a car company, you can register the car shipped last year to the sales server 1 to apply a discount rate on a monthly basis over a year.

The operation of the discount rate calculating agent described above has been described as an example of applying time as a limiting factor. However, the discount rate calculating agent may apply a limiting factor such as a situation and a company as well as time, or apply a limiting factor independently, and apply a discount rate independently. Calculate the price.

When calculating the discount rate using the situation as a limiting factor, the agent applies a different discount rate by further adding or subtracting the discount rate according to the low season and the high season from the discount rate according to the discount rate applied unit of time. In addition, the discount rate is applied differently according to the discount rate unit based on the amount of remaining commodities available for sale, that is, the discount rate of 2.0% per day is applied during off-season, and the discount rate of 1.0% per day is applied during peak season. In addition, the daily discount rate of 2% is applied when there are more than 10 residual products, and the daily discount rate of 1% is applied when less than 10 residual products.

As time and space are applied as the limiting factors in calculating the discounted price as described above, a portion for selecting the limiting factor is further added to the product registration window shown in FIG. 4.

The sales / payment agent displays a product desired by the customer in conjunction with the display agent, and performs a payment for the product purchased by the customer. In addition, the sales / payment agent works with the collection / notification agent to notify the product provider and the customer of the payment result of the product sale. In addition, in conjunction with the discount rate calculation agent, the service provider's fee for selling the product is calculated.
