Referring to Figure 2, the system according to the present invention includes a user 14, the manager 14, the web server 23. The user 14 may use both the bidding fee payment module 17, the auction module 16, the display module 15, and the bidding payment module 18 in the web server 23, and the successful bidder may also use the web server ( 23) can be used.

The web server 23 is auction article DB 19, billing server 20, bidding DB 21, member DB 22 and display module 15, auction module 16, bidding fee payment module 17 ), Successful bid payment module 18, and all.

The auction article DB 19 stores the goods registered by the auction applicant, the highest price lowest price, the designated price and the product information, etc. during the auction, the payment system for various payments are made through the billing server 20. The product stores the auction price entered by the bidders and the bidder's various auction information, and the member DB 22 has all the member information of the auction site.

3, after the auction ends, the successful bidder selection start step 24, the bidder search step 25, condition 1 search result step 26, condition 2 search result step 27, condition The search result is composed of one step 28, and a successful bidder selection end step 29.

As soon as the auction ends, the successful bidder selection start step 24 begins, and the bidder search step 25 begins. When the bidder retrieval phase (25) is initiated, the highest or lowest price in the auction bidding unit (e.g. + -100 won) from the nominated price based on the nominated price specified by the auction applicant between the highest and minimum price of the auction item. The bidder who bids on will be searched. If the search result is the step (26) of the condition 1, the specified price: The minimum number of people when 40,200 won is 1, 40,100 won is 1, 39,900 won is 2, and 39,800 won is the minimum. Is 40,100 won, which is the closest to the designated price and the minimum number of people, so it is recognized as a successful bidder and moves to the end of the selection process (29) .If the search result is the step (27) of the condition 2, the search result is 40,000 won. In the case of 3 people for 40,200 won, 2 people for 40,100 won, 1 person for 39,900 won, and 2 people for 39,800 won, the minimum number of 39,900 won is the closest to the specified price and the minimum number of people. If the search result is the search result step 28 under condition 3, the search result is based on the designated price of 40,000 won, 3 people for 40,200 won, 1 person for 40,100 won, 1 person for 39,900 won, and 39,800 won for If you have 2 people, the minimum number of people in the search results is 39,900 won and 40,100 won. Since most people close to the minimum difference, such as limits are recognized as both recognize the winner of 2 people to a successful bidder, it will go to the highest bidder selection stage exit (29).

4 is a flow chart of one embodiment in the present invention.

Referring to Figure 4, the start step 100 to start the auction, the bidding step 200, the bidder participates in the article, the fee payment step 300 to pay the bidding fee, the step of checking the normal bid participation (400) ), The end of the auction (500), the successful bidder selection process and confirmation step (600), the successful bidder's payment of the support amount of the item (700), the acquisition step (800) to take over the successful bidder, the last It consists of a step 900 of paying the auction applicant.

The bid fee payment step 300 always pays a certain amount to a bidder who participates in a bid, even if a certain amount or a certain percentage of the bid amount, for example, a fee of 10% or 1% of the total cost or an auction of any item. If the bidding fee is collected, the auction is over and if the bidding support amount is required, the participant will provide the winning item.If the bidding support amount is not needed, the bidding fee will be provided in full to provide the winning item. have.

In the 700 whether the successful bid price fee is paid, the successful bid price may indicate an amount bid by the successful bidder, may be partially supported in the bidding fee, or may be fully supported without a bidding fee. When paying the amount, it is decided whether to support the amount of money and to apply in full or in part. If the successful bidder payment fee payment step (700) is properly processed, the operator goes through the step (800) of taking over the item to the successful bidder.

When the acquisition step 800 is completed, a final payment step 900 is paid to the auction applicant. When the payment is made, the successful bidder pays the support amount according to the auction item and if the payment is not made, There are branches. In case of payment, the bidding fee is partially supported and paid to the auction applicant. If the successful bidder does not have to pay the support amount, the bidder is paid in full to the auction applicant.

When the bidding fee or the successful bid is paid, the bidder's support payment amount can actively utilize the micropayment means currently active on the Internet, and can be charged by charging the cyber money of the auction site through the advertisement or other event participation of the web site according to the present invention. In addition, if there are two or more successful bidders, as described above, the two or more successful bidders can pay the goods, and if there is only one item, the registered product must be registered first. There is a way to pay the goods to the person and pay the other person the cyber money corresponding to the goods or cash if desired. In addition, exemption or reduction of remittance fees by agreement with a specific bank at the time of payment, and by providing a personal account for each individual by opening an automatic bank personal account recently executed, it provides convenience for trading in the account automatically when depositing or withdrawing money. There are various payment methods such as billing to mobile subscribers by adding up the next month's mobile phone usage fee by ARS and mobile phone.

In the present invention, there are various methods of selecting a successful bidder, and a bidder who bids the highest price within a predetermined time, a bidder who bids the lowest price, or finally bidder, as in a normal auction. After this bid, the auction applicant designates the highest price and the lowest price within a fixed time period, and the bid price is assigned between the highest price and the lowest price so that the bidder starts based on the specified price and sees the closest bidder as the successful bidder or the nearest highest price based on the designated price. One of those who bid one person who offered the price, or who recognized the winner as the closest price based on the specified price, or who offered the closest and lowest price based on the specified price. Is the winner, and the closest bid If there is only one person but two people are the minimum, both people pay the goods.For example, if the market price is 100,000 won and the auction applicant sets the highest price to 50,000 won, the lowest price is 20,000 won, and the designated price is 40,000 won, the auction ends. If the result is 2 for 40,100 won and 1 for 39,900 won, the person closest to the designated price is 40,100 won or 39,900 won, but the difference is close to the specified price, but since 39,900 won is less bidder, the bidder who bids 39,900 won becomes the successful bidder. . If two people came out at 39,900 won or 40,100 won, the total of four bidders, both 39,900 won and two 40,100 won, would win. All four of these items will be given the item and if there is one item, the item will be given to the registered person first, and the other three will be able to withdraw the money in the same amount as cyber money or cash. The above method is an example when both the closest high amount and the closest low amount based on the designated price are available for bidding. The bidding amount may be selected between the highest price and the lowest price that can be bidded, and may be added to the bidding by selectable 10 won, or may be 100 won or 1000 won.

At the time of bidding, the amount closest to the designated price, the current bidder, the total bidding fee, etc., may also be disclosed, and a certain number of times a day to prevent excessive fees due to one person's excessive bidding during the bidding. For example, bidding can be made 10 or more times or 20 times per day.The bidding method is higher than the general bidding method in which the general highest price is awarded according to the designated price, and the bidding amount is lowered in reverse auction. Can be.

The present invention is the most interesting and characteristic of the bidder bidding close to the specified price between the highest price and the lowest price as the designation price of the specific auction applicant, the highest price and the lowest price in the auction method that has not been tried at all. The probability of winning more than double the highest or lowest price auction is doubled, and at the same time, the probability of winning is also doubled. This also allows users to feel a great deal and increase the participation rate, which results in higher profits due to high participation rates. It is a new profit model that lets you feel the beauty of betting by paying fun and low participation fee that you can purchase the item for free or cheap price.

As described above, according to the present invention, a small payment means and a simple payment method can participate in a large number of expensive goods or necessary goods in small amounts, and are closer to the designated price placed by the auction applicant than the existing highest price auction or the lowest price auction. It is interesting for the user to participate between the highest price and the lowest price. Also, unlike other auctions, the bidding method was unlikely to be one of the highest price or the lowest price. However, the present invention uses the system of the designated price between the highest price and the lowest price to participate in the highest price or the lowest price closest to the designated price. If the difference is the same, the chance of winning by betting a certain amount with +-is doubled, and the amount of winnings is also doubled, where another bid is paid by the successful bidder and the rest By using some fees, the user can purchase at a low price and the operator can use the fee to minimize the cost and get high profits.In the case of low-priced auction items, only the bidding fee is used without having to pay the support price. Get free or full money by applying for full You can feel the fun you can get goods
