Description

Electronic commerce system and its method {The system and method of electronic commerce}

The present invention relates to an electronic commerce system and a method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electronic commerce system and a method for making a transaction between a purchaser who wants to purchase an item through a network and a seller who wants to sell the item.

E-commerce allows transactions between purchasers and sellers in various ways, so that a specific purchaser who presents the highest price by the unspecified number of purchasers participates in the purchase process and only a specific purchaser buys the product. In the auction method that is selected as a successful bidder to purchase the product, and in addition, the unspecified number of purchasers participate in the purchase process, but unlike the auction method, the product that the purchaser pays and receives is not determined to be specific. Buyers can't pick the products they want, and they usually promote transactions between buyers and sellers through various forms, such as a lottery method in which a successful bidder is selected.

In the case of the auction method of the conventional e-commerce method, since only a specific purchaser who presents the highest price is selected as a successful bidder, the purchaser can purchase the product at a lower price. Since it is not easy, the participation in the auction is reduced, there is a problem that e-commerce through the auction is not activated.

In addition, when trading with a lottery method, a police officer or a public lottery is used, but in this case, there is an additional cost for proving fairness. Therefore, there is a problem that the transaction of the lottery lottery method is not activated.

Recently, there is a new e-commerce system that uses the highest price (lowest price) of only one bidding bid. have.

Therefore, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to solve the conventional problems, in order to enable buyers to purchase the goods at a lower price than to activate the e-commerce through a new bidding method rather than the highest bidding method on the network I'm going to sleep.

In addition, in the decision of the successful bidder to secure a certain fairness without additional costs to secure the trust of the buyer wish to activate the e-commerce more.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the electronic commerce system according to the characteristics of the present invention is an electronic commerce system connected to a plurality of purchaser terminals through a network, and product information including the highest bid price for each item code is stored. An article database; A bidding database for storing bidding information including bidding bidding information including bids, bids for the bids, and bid numbers of the bids for each item code; A bid registration unit that performs a bid registration process for storing a bid for a specific item from a purchase request terminal in the bid database; The bidding processing unit may select a price corresponding to the remaining number by limiting the quotient by dividing the reference number generated by a specific number determined after the bid is closed among the plurality of bids stored for each item in the bidding database. . Herein, when the remaining number is 0, the highest bidder selects the highest bidder as the successful bidder.

In addition, when there are a plurality of purchasers presenting a bid equal to the winning bid price, the auction processing unit divides the reference number by the total number of purchasers who present a bid equal to the winning bid price, and divides the share into a limit number corresponding to the remaining number. The bidding process is selected by selecting the desired purchase bidder.

The reference number is generated according to a specific number determined after the bidding is closed. The number of winnings of the lottery to be drawn immediately after the bidding deadline and the composite stock index of the next day of the bidding deadline are determined. For example.

On the other hand, the bid registration unit preferably further comprises a purchase request database for storing information such as the total number of bids, number of successful bids, address for each purchaser.

An electronic commerce method according to another aspect of the present invention is an electronic commerce method of a system connected to a plurality of purchaser terminals through a network, a) when a highest bid for one item is provided to a purchaser terminal through a network. Registering a bid proposed by a purchaser to be less than the highest bid; b) generating a reference number by a specific number that is settled after a bid is closed in accordance with the rules established before the bidding start; c :) dividing the reference number by the highest bidding price, selecting a price corresponding to the remaining number limiting the quotient, selecting the winning price and setting a purchaser who bids the winning price as the winning bidder; And d) notifying the successful bidders.

In this case, the step c) corresponds to the remaining number of shares limited by dividing the reference number by the total number of purchasers who have bid the same amount as the successful bid price when there are a large number of purchasers who have bid the same amount as the successful bid price. It is preferable to select a desired purchaser who bids in order to make a successful bidding process.

The processing server 30 that performs the bidding and the successful bidding process based on the information stored in the database server 40, the user authentication unit 31, the bid registration unit 32, the successful bidding processing unit 33 and the payment processing unit 34 Include.

The user authentication unit 31 processes member registration and authentication of a plurality of purchasers, and the bid registration unit 32 processes so that purchasers can bid for a specific article through the network (1). Specifically, a bid registration process for providing various goods information stored in the goods database 41 and storing the bidding information of the purchasers bidding for the specific goods in the bidding database 43 is performed.

The successful bidder 33 selects a successful bidder for each item based on a plurality of bidding information stored in the bidding database 43. In other words, the bidding price is selected after the bid is closed and the bidding price is selected as the bidding price by dividing the criterion number by the highest bidding price. do. In the case where there are a large number of selected purchasers, the standard number is divided by the total number of the purchasers who presented the bid equal to the winning bid price, and the share is selected as the successful bidder by selecting the purchasers who bid in the order corresponding to the remaining number. do.

The payment processing unit 34 processes payment of goods based on the successful bid price in connection with the payment system 4 based on the payment information of the purchasers, and stores the payment processing result in the payment database 45.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each component of the processing server 30 is shown to operate in the processing server 30, but is not limited thereto, and may be implemented as an independent server to process a corresponding function, and the database 41 -46) is not limited to being classified as described above.

An electronic commerce method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on a system having such a structure.

2 sequentially illustrates a process of registering a bid in an electronic commerce system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the item to be bid is selected in consideration of the market situation. A product code, a market price, a maximum bid price, etc. are determined for each selected item and stored in the goods database 41.

In this way, when a bidding item is selected, information on the bidding item is provided to unspecified buyers through various channels.

Buyers who have received the goods information, through various paths, as shown in Figure 2, access to the intermediary system (2) and make a bid.

More specifically, when a purchaser inputs a URL for connecting to the intermediary system 2 while driving a program (for example, a web browser) for network connection on the purchaser terminal 3, this URL is entered. The information is converted and packetized by a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) in a web browser and then transmitted to the intermediary system 2 via the network 1.

Accordingly, the interface server 10 of the mediation system 2 transmits the web page corresponding to the URL information to the purchaser terminal 3, and the transmitted web page is converted into a window state on the web browser and displayed. Therefore, the purchaser wants to confirm various information provided by the mediation system 2 through the web page displayed on the screen of the purchaser terminal 3 (S100).

Subsequently, when a purchaser ID and password are transmitted from the purchaser's terminal 3 by providing a screen for member authentication to the purchaser's terminal 3 connected to the interface server 10 of the mediation system 2, the processing server The user authentication unit 31 of (4) performs member authentication according to whether or not the transmitted purchaser ID and password are stored in the purchaser's database 46 (S110). This authentication step is optional.

Subsequently, the bid registration unit 32 provides information on items to be bid for each category to a purchaser who is an authenticated purchaser or an unauthenticated non-member, and when the purchaser selects a predetermined item, the purchaser terminal 3 is selected. Link to a page that provides information about the goods to allow the purchaser to check the information about the bidding goods (S120). At this time, by providing the item code, the highest bid and the minimum bid of the goods for each item so that the purchaser can set an appropriate bid.

When the purchaser selects a specific item and inputs a bid (S130), the bidding register 32 bids information such as the item code, the item name, the bid, the payment amount at the time of successful bid, the payment method, and the delivery location of the item that the purchaser bids. If the purchaser clicks the OK button, the bidding register 32 pays the bidding fee or pays the money in advance by using a credit card or a mobile phone. After the payment is made, the bidding information is stored in the bidding database 43, and the bidding contents are registered, and the purchaser checks the bidding and the bidding order therefor (S140 to S150). In the bid registration process according to an embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the purchaser can bid, the payment processing unit 35, for example, the payment method for payment at the time of successful bid, for example, the payment method selected by the customer In the case of requesting a credit card number and the like received from the purchaser, and then provide the payment information to the payment system (4) can request the use approval. Alternatively, the payment process may be performed by receiving payment information from the purchaser after being successful in the auction process described later.

On the other hand, as described above, the purchaser may bid through the Internet, or may bid through the telephone network.

The bidding process through the telephone network is also performed as described above, except that the call center 20 receives the bidding information from the purchaser terminal 3 and then provides the bidding information to the processing server 30 to register the bidding. To lose. Bid registration through such a telephone network can be easily devised by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Next, the mediation system 2 performs a successful bidding process based on a plurality of bidding information.

3 sequentially illustrates a process in which a successful bid is made in an electronic commerce according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the successful bid processing unit 33 checks whether the bid period has elapsed, and performs a successful bid process based on the bid information stored in the bid database 43 when the bid period has ended (S300).

Of the bids bidding by the purchasers stored in the bidding database 43 corresponding to the item code, the standard number is generated by using a specific number determined after the bidding is closed, and the standard number is divided by the highest bid for each item. Select a price corresponding to the rest of the number limit and bid the purchaser who presented the selected bid, and if the remainder is 0, the bidder who offered the highest bidder wins the bid (S310 to S320). In addition, if there is more than one purchaser who presented the same bid, the bidder is selected as a successful bidder by dividing the reference number by the total number of purchasers who presented the same bid and limiting their share. However, in this case, if the rest is 0, a successful bid is granted to the purchasers who bid the last order among the purchasers who presented the same bid (S330).

For example, the successful bid according to an embodiment of the present invention,

For example, before bidding for an item with a highest bid of 100,000 won is made, the number of criteria according to the present invention is determined by multiplying 12,345 by the composite stock index (ignoring the decimal number) on the day after the bidding is closed. Assume that a number of purchasers offered a plurality of bids to the article. If the composite stock index is 1,234.56 the day after the bidding closes, the reference index is 1,234, the integral part of the composite stock index, 15,233,730 multiplied by 12,345 according to a predetermined rule.The dividend is divided by the highest bid price of 100,000 and the remainder is 152, and the rest is 33,730. Therefore, the bidder is granted to the purchaser who presented 33,730 won. In this case, let's say there were more than 10 buyers who suggested 33,730 won. In this case, if the standard number of 15,233,730 is divided by the total number of buyers who want to buy, the share is 1,523,373 and the remainder is 0. Therefore, the bidder is granted to the buyer who bids the 10th among the buyers who offered 33,730 won.

When the successful bidder is selected for each item as described above, the successful bid processing unit 33 notifies the successful bidder through the mail server 50 or the like to the corresponding purchaser's terminal 3 (S340). In addition, the auction can be notified through an offline telephone or mail, and the auction information can also be broadcast through a broadcasting medium.

The purchaser notified of the successful bidding provides the final purchase intention to the intermediary system (2), and the payment processing unit 34 requests the purchase price of the bidder presented by the buyer. To request the payment by providing to the payment system 4 (S350 to S360). When payment of the payment system 4 is made (S370), the payment amount, payment date, payment number, etc. are stored in the payment database 45, and then information about the delivery system for delivering the corresponding goods from the goods database 41. After finding the information, such as the item code, delivery address, delivery date to be delivered to the delivery system (5) to request the delivery, so that the goods are delivered to the successful bidder (S380 ~ S390). Here, the delivery system 5 may be a supplier that substantially supplies the goods, or may be a delivery company that performs delivery only by receiving goods from a supplier.

As such, according to the present invention, the purchaser can purchase the product at a price lower than the market price.

In the above embodiment, only the use of a credit card as a payment method at the time of a successful bid is described, but the payment method according to the present invention is not limited to credit card payment, but various payment methods selected by the purchaser, for example, account transfer, bank deposit All payment methods available in electronic commerce, such as electronic money and electronic money, can be used.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the most practical and preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and includes various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the following claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the private bidding method is differentiated from general auctions in which the purchase price increases sequentially over time, the burden on the bidding participation point of the purchaser is reduced.

In addition, since a successful bid selection method is a method of auction using arithmetic method based on a reference number rather than a maximum price, a purchaser can purchase a bid at a price below a maximum price, thereby widening a range of price choices.

In addition, since the reference number is generated according to a specific number determined after the closing of the bid, the seller or the like can not manipulate it, so that the purchasers can have high confidence in the successful bidding, thereby improving bidding participation.

In addition, by subsidizing a part of the bid participation fee provided by a large number of bidders at the time of bidding, the purchaser can purchase the product at a price significantly lower than the retail price of the successful bidder. Improve bid participation. Accordingly, electronic commerce can be more activated.
