It means a subject who selects a product registered in and sells it through a predetermined internet shopping mall. One subject may act as a product registrant or seller, and the seller may sell products secured to another route other than the online shopping mall brokerage system.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an internet shopping mall mediation method according to the present embodiment.

In step 201 a product database containing a record of the identification information or product information associated with the identification information is maintained.

The identification information is identification information of a product registered by a product registrant and includes a product registrant identifier for the product registrant or a product identifier for the product. In addition, the product database may further include a record associated with the seller identifier.

The product information is information related to the product, and includes information on a category to which the product belongs, image data of the product, price of the product, and the like. A more detailed description of the product information will be described later.

3 is a diagram showing an example of data recorded in the product database. FIG. 3A shows a record for identification information, FIG. 3B shows a record for product information associated with a product identifier (or identification information), and FIG. 3C shows a record for a seller identifier associated with a product identifier (or identification information). . In FIG. 3, the structure (field or record structure) of the illustrated product database is exemplary, and a database construction scheme capable of efficiently expressing a relationship with identification information, a product registrant identifier, a product identifier, product information, or a seller identifier is provided. Naturally, it can be selected in various ways.

A step 201 of maintaining the product database will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

In step 401, the online shopping mall mediation system records and maintains a product registration register for specifying each product in a product registration database for each product. The product registration unit may be a conventional product registration unit electronically documented.

The product registration book is used to specify the product for each product. For example, among the digital cameras manufactured by Casio, product registration sources exist for each model such as 'Exilim EX M1', 'Exilim EX M2', 'Exilim EX Z3', and 'Exilim EX Z4'.

Table 1 shows an example of the product registration book for 'Exilim EX M1'.

In step 402, the online shopping mall mediation system provides a first user interface for selecting a product register by referring to the product register database. Before performing step 402, the online shopping mall brokering system may allow a person who wants to register a product to perform a product registrant joining or authentication procedure. The product registrant identifier may be assigned to the product registrant in the subscription procedure.

For example, a web page as shown in FIG. 5 may be used for the first user interface.

The online shopping mall brokering system provides a web page as shown in FIG. 5A to a product registrant. When the product registrant clicks on the 'product category selection' button (reference numeral 501), the online shopping mall mediation system provides the product registrant with a web page for selecting a category type as shown in FIG. 5B. can do. When the product registrant selects a predetermined category by a mouse click, the online shopping mall mediation system provides a product registration unit belonging to the category or a sub-category of the category, whereby the product registrant registers the product registration unit in a category search method. You can make it searchable.

In addition, the online shopping mall brokering system may allow a product registrant to search for a product registration book using a product model name or a manufacturer of the product, as indicated by reference numerals 502 and 503 of FIG. 5A. In addition, although not shown, the online shopping mall intermediary system may be able to search for the product registration book by keyword search method.

When a search query is input from a product registrant in the above-described search method, the online shopping mall mediation system searches for a product register corresponding to the search query and generates a search result list for the searched product register. The generated search result list may be provided to the product registrant as indicated by reference numeral 504. The product registrant clicks the 'view description' button (reference numeral 505) to view the product registration register (or description of the product registration ledger), and then selects the 'select' button (drawing reference numeral 506). The desired product registration book can be selected by clicking with the mouse (step 403).

On the other hand, if there is no product registration book corresponding to the search result as a result of the search, the online shopping mall brokerage system may provide a user interface for registering the product registration book to the product registrant. At this time, in order to prevent a plurality of product registration units for the same product or to prevent unnecessary product registration units from being generated, the manager of the online shopping mall brokerage system registers a product registration unit input from the product registrant. Before proceeding, the process of inspecting the product registration register may be performed.

In operation 403, the product registrant inputs product information about a product to be registered.

However, when the product registration book as described in Table 1 is selected, the product registrant may use the product information (eg, 'pixel number') already included in the product registration book and input only additional product information. have.

The product information includes a category to which the product belongs, image data of the product, a price of the product, whether the product is a genuine product, whether an after-sale service is available for the product, and whether the after-service is free. Whether the item is paid, the size or color of the product, the quantity of the product supplied, the delivery information, the registration period of the product, whether a gift or point is provided to the purchaser of the product, a payment method (if the product is purchased) Information about credit card payment, installment payment, etc.). The online shopping mall mediation system uses the information included in the selected product registration register as it is, and receives input from the product registrant for the category to which the product belongs, the image data of the product, and the size or color of the product. It may not.

In step 404, the online shopping mall mediation system generates a product identifier using the selected product registration unit and the input product information. That is, the online shopping mall mediation system generates a product identifier associated with the selected product registration unit and the input product information.

In step 405, the online shopping mall mediation system generates a product registrant identifier for identifying the product registrant or identification information including the product identifier.

In step 406, the online shopping mall mediation system registers a record including the generated identification information and the product information in the product database. In addition, the online shopping mall mediation system inquires the product information contained in the selected product registration unit without repetitive recording of the product information recorded in the product registration unit database in association with the product registration unit. Only the relationship with the selected product registration book may be recorded in the product database.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the product registrant 'wisjjang' registers three kinds of products each identified by the product identifiers 'a11112', 'a11113', and 'a11114'. The product identified by the product identifier 'a11112' (hereinafter referred to as' product 'a11112') may be a different kind of product from the product 'a11113'. For example, the product 'a11112' may be a garment, and the product 'a11113' may be a refrigerator.

In addition, the product 'a11112' and the product 'a11113' are products of the same kind, that is, products associated with the same product registration book, and only product information may be different. For example, the product 'a11112' may be a product that is freely delivered from the digital camera 'Exilim EX M1', and the product 'a11113' may be a product that is delivered for a fee from the digital camera 'Exilim EX M1' but provides a free gift.

On the other hand, the present embodiment includes generating a product registrant identifier or identification information including the product identifier, it is also possible to use the product registrant identifier or product identifier, respectively, without generating the identification information.

Through the above process, it is possible to build a merchandise database as shown in FIG. 3A or 3B, and the construction process of the record for the seller identifier as shown in FIG. 3C will be described later.

On the other hand, the online shopping mall brokerage system may receive a registration fee from the product registrant for the registration of the product. The registration fee is the number of products registered by the product registrant (the number of products may be calculated as 'the number of product identifiers' or 'the number of product identifiers x the number of products associated with each product identifier'), It may be determined based on the registration period of the product or the like.

In addition, the online shopping mall brokerage system may charge an additional cost to the product registrant based on the number of times the product is selected by the seller and decided to sell the product at the seller's internet shopping mall, or the number of times the product is sold at the internet shopping mall. It may be.

In step 202, the online shopping mall brokerage system provides a second user interface for selecting a product (precise product identifier) to the seller by referring to the product database. Before performing step 202, the online shopping mall brokering system may allow a person who wants to select a product to perform a seller subscription procedure or an authentication procedure. The seller identifier may be given to the seller in the subscription procedure.

For example, the online shopping mall brokerage system may allow the seller to select a product using keyword search or category search. In addition, it is also desirable to be able to search using a suitable search query for each category. For example, when the seller selects a digital camera category, the online shopping mall brokerage system may provide the seller with a web page for inputting a search query as shown in FIG. 6.

As indicated by reference numeral 601, the online shopping mall brokerage system allows a seller to select a 'Dica (Digital Camera)' category by a category search method, and easily searches for a desired digital camera in the 'Dica' category. The seller may also be provided with a user interface for entering a search query as indicated by reference numeral 602.

The user interface as indicated by reference numeral 602 may be determined differently for each category. For example, in the 'dress' category, the user interface may be 'one piece / two piece / three piece', 'size', or 'price'. A user interface may be set for inputting a selection of the data.

When the seller clicks on the 'type' button (Fig. 603), the online shopping mall brokering system allows the user to select the type of digital camera as shown in FIG. When the seller selects 'general type' by mouse click or the like, the merchandise information list for the general type digital camera is provided to the seller among the product information recorded in the merchandise database.

The seller checks the provided product information list and selects a product identifier associated with the product information (step 203). Specifically, when the seller selects predetermined product information from the product information list, a product identifier associated with the product information may be selected.

As described with reference to FIG. 4, the online shopping mall mediation system implements the first user interface to 1) register a product for each product registration unit, and 2) input product information formulated for each category. Each data such as product information may be systematically recorded in the product database.

Accordingly, the online shopping mall brokering system can easily input various search queries for each category by referring to the product database and can provide the seller with an accurate search result.

In step 204, the online shopping mall mediation system transmits identification information including the selected product identifier and product information associated with the product identifier to a shopping mall server providing the shopping mall site of the seller.

In step 205, the shopping mall server having received the identification information and the product information generates a product sales page for a product associated with the product identifier by using the identification information and the product information. Since the identification information and the product information are standardized, the shopping mall server may use a program that automatically generates the product sales page using the identification information and the product information. The product information may be displayed on the product sale page, and the shopping mall server may store the identification information in association with the product sale page.

In step 206, the online shopping mall brokering system records a seller identifier for the seller in the product database in association with the selected product identifier. Through this process, as shown in FIG. 3C, a record for the seller identifier may be generated. The online shopping mall mediation system may further record URL information of the product sale page in association with the product identifier and the seller identifier. The URL information is URL information of a product sale page for selling a product associated with the product identifier among product sale pages provided by the shopping mall server of the seller.

In step 207, the buyer accesses the merchandise sales page, makes a purchase request for the merchandise, and performs a payment.

In step 208, the shopping mall server generates payment information associated with the payment and transmits it to the online shopping mall mediation system. The payment information includes identification information associated with the merchandise sales page, a seller identifier for the seller, information on the number / purchase price of the product, information on a shipping destination to which the product is to be shipped, and the like.

In step 209, the online shopping mall brokerage system determines a product registrant who has registered a product sold on the product sales page by using the identification information included in the transmitted payment information. In addition, the online shopping mall brokerage system is how much the product is sold by using information on the number of times the payment information including the identification information of the product is transmitted, the number of purchases of the product included in the payment information, and also the same It is also possible to find out which product registrants are selling a lot of products among the products in the market.

In step 210, the online shopping mall brokerage system provides the determined product registrant with all or part of the payment information. The product registrant who has received the payment information determines the product to be delivered with reference to the identification information included in the payment information, and delivers the product to the buyer using the information about the delivery address. The delivery process may be performed after confirming whether the payment was actually received from the buyer.

In addition, according to an embodiment, only the remaining amount excluding part of the payment amount deposited by the buyer as a fee to the online shopping mall brokerage system and the seller may be delivered to the product registrant.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the online shopping mall brokerage system may manage the product database with reference to information on the registration period of the product recorded in the product database. The registration period of the product means a period during which the product registrant registers the product in the online shopping mall brokerage system, and the seller cannot select a product after the registration period has elapsed. In addition, as described above, the online shopping mall mediation system may determine a registration fee charged to the product registrant using the registration period.

The online shopping mall brokerage system searches for information on a registration period of a product, as indicated by reference numeral 301 of FIG. 3, from the product information recorded in the product database. The online shopping mall mediation system determines whether the registration period has elapsed based on the information on the registration period of the searched product, and if the registration period has elapsed, includes information about the registration period of the product. The record (reference numeral 302) is deleted in the product database. At this time, a field (reference numeral 303 of FIG. 3A) and a record (reference numeral 304 of FIG. 3C) associated with the record, that is, associated with the product identifier 'a11112' may also be deleted from the product database. On the other hand, for the record 304, the seller (seller 'posse', seller 'corius', etc.) associated with the seller identifier included in the record 304 is notified that the registration period of the product has expired, and the notification is received from the seller. The record 304 may be deleted only when a signal is received to confirm receipt.

In the case of managing the product database as described above, it is possible to prevent accumulation of data that is no longer used in the product database, and to prevent the seller from selecting a product that is no longer supplied by the product registrant. As will be described later, when a search service is provided to users, an optimal search result can be provided.

Hereinafter, a process of providing a product search service to a user will be described with reference to the product database with reference to FIG. 7. The online shopping mall brokering system may provide a product search service of a so-called keyword search or category search method in which a user may input a search word or select a category to make a search request. In addition, the online shopping mall brokering system may provide a user interface as shown in FIG. 6 to a user to input a search query optimized for each category.

In step 701, the user inputs a search query to the online shopping mall mediation system.

In step 702, the online shopping mall mediation system searches for product information corresponding to the search query or URL information of a product sales web page associated with the product information by referring to the product database.

The online shopping mall brokering system generates a search result list using the searched product information or the searched URL information (step 703) and provides the generated search result list to the user (step 704).

In step 705, the user who has received the search result list selects a search result from the search result list.

In step 706, the online shopping mall brokerage system allows the user to access the product sales web page using the URL information of the product sales web page associated with the selected search result by referring to the product database.
