The present invention relates to an internet reverse auction method, and more particularly, provides a plurality of suppliers with the opportunity to participate in the auction, and prevents excessive dumping by excluding a supplier bidding with a price that is too low than the average bid. Internet reverse auction method.

The auction is operated in such a way that when a seller puts a product in an auction, the bidder sets a price for the product and bids the product to the highest bidder. However, according to this auction method, the buyer has to select a product within the limits of the product provided by the seller, and may not be able to purchase a product that exactly matches the desired specification. Therefore, a reverse auction method has been developed that enables buyers to actively bid by presenting a product they want to purchase.

The characteristics of the reverse auction method is to disclose the prices and conditions of the goods that the consumer wants to buy first, and then, if a number of suppliers present the possible amount and supplementary conditions according to their conditions, the consumer is determined to be the most suitable among the bidding details. It is to buy things.

Reverse auctions, both online and offline, offer the consumer the opportunity to receive quotes from a variety of suppliers, including the ability to purchase the right product based on the consumer's choice. At the same time, bidding at low prices and creating a monopoly position can disrupt sound commerce order.

In other words, if a large supplier with capital power and marketing power takes a dumping attack while offering an abnormal price, the consumer's choices can be concentrated on one supplier and hamper the growth of other operators, eventually becoming a monopoly and The result is that the market is dominated by the supplier.

In particular, the quality of service may be a problem when the supplier receives excessively low prices, such as translation, moving, or legal services, rather than dealing with formal items such as furniture, electronics, mobile phones, MP3 players, etc. In case of bidding for services that are likely to occur, the damage caused by dumping may be greater.

On the other hand, in the reverse auction in the prior art, the supplier who provided the minimum bid is often ordered, and if an operator who offers a price close to the minimum bid is given an opportunity to change the bid with certain restrictions, The consumer will be able to get a quote from more suppliers, giving them more choice. However, the current reverse auction method has a disadvantage in that there is no opportunity to change the bid bid once, and thus it is not possible to give the consumer a variety of choices.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when the purchase request of the same condition is input in advance to receive a specific product and conditions from the supplier to automatically send the quotation to the consumer to participate in automatic bidding It is an object of the present invention to provide an internet reverse auction method.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a reverse anti-auction method that can prevent the provider from presenting excessively low bid to prevent monopoly and market order disturbance caused by dumping.                         

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a reverse reverse auction method for providing a user with a bidding close to the minimum bid to automatically change their bids under a certain limit to provide consumers with more choice.

The present invention for solving the above problems is a reverse auction method for brokering a transaction of goods or services by connecting to a supplier terminal and a consumer terminal through the Internet, whether to apply for automatic bidding from the supplier terminal, sales items, sales amount and sales conditions Storing automatic bidding information when the automatic bidding information including the automatic bidding information is input; Transmitting an order form from a consumer terminal to a supplier terminal of a supplier selling the same article as the purchased article from the consumer terminal; Transmitting a quotation from the supplier terminal to the consumer terminal which has entered the order, when a quotation including information on the sale article, the selling price and the sales condition is input; Calling the stored automatic bidding information to extract the supplier listing the same sales goods as the purchase goods included in the order, the seller of the supplier, the supplier who does not enter the order list, the sales article, the sale listed in the automatic bidding information Creating a quotation with an amount and a sale condition and transmitting the quotation to a consumer terminal which inputs the order; If the bidder selection signal is input from the consumer terminal, the step of notifying the information on the successful supplier; includes.

Obtaining an average dumping reference ratio by summing up the plurality of dumping reference ratios when the quotations describing the dumping reference ratios are input from the plurality of supplier terminals; Calculating the average bid price by summing the bids described in the quotations inputted from the plurality of supplier terminals; Obtaining a dumping reference value by multiplying the average bid price by an average dumping reference ratio; Comprising: comparing the dumping reference value and the bids described in the plurality of quotations, respectively, invalidating a bid that presented a bidding reference value or less; further includes.

The dumping reference ratio is characterized in that 60% to 90%.

Applying an automatic bid adjustment to the reverse auction of the good or service and storing an automatic adjustment ratio; Selecting a minimum bid among bids described in quotations inputted from the plurality of provider terminals; Calculating a difference between the minimum bid and the bid described in the quotation, respectively, and calculating a difference ratio which is a ratio of the difference to the minimum bid; Changing the bid amount input from the specific supplier terminal to be equal to the minimum bid when the difference ratio of the bid amount input from the specific supplier terminal is equal to or less than the automatic adjustment ratio among the plurality of difference ratios; And changing the bid of the specific provider terminal to the lowest bid to disclose the bid.

The difference ratio is characterized in that 0% to 10%.

A description with reference to the drawings is as follows.

1 is a block diagram showing a connection state of the Internet reverse auction system (hereinafter referred to as an auction system) according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a structural diagram showing the components of the auction system (100). Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the auction system 100 is connected to a plurality of provider terminals 200 and consumer terminals 300 through the Internet 400.

The supplier terminal 200 is a terminal of a supplier selling goods or services, and the consumer terminal 300 is connected to the auction system 100 through the Internet 400 to purchase a desired product or service. It is a terminal.

The auction system 100 is a central processing unit 102, web server 104, mail server 106, SMS server 108, supplier information DB 110, consumer information DB 112, dumping criteria calculation module ( 114), bid automatic adjustment module 116, and payment information management module 118.

The central processing unit 102 controls the various components included in the auction system 100 to operate normally, and records and stores an order book received from the consumer terminal 300 and a quote input from the supplier terminal 200. .

The web server 104 allows each terminal 200, 300 to access the auction system 100 to transmit and receive various data and HTML document forms, and to configure the data input from each terminal 200,300, respectively. Allows transmission to the element.

The mail server 106 provides a mail service to inform the terminal 200, 300 of the auction progress, various event notices, change status notices, etc. using the Internet mail.

The SMS server 108 transmits various announcements to a mobile communication terminal of a supplier or a consumer using an SMS (Short Message Service).

Operations of the web server 104, mail server 106, SMS server 108 are the same as those included in the auction system according to the prior art, detailed description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

The supplier information DB 110 and the consumer information DB 112 store personal information about a supplier who provides a product or a service and a consumer who purchases the same.

The dumping criterion calculating module 114 calculates an average dumping criterion ratio by summing the dumping criterion ratios described in the quotations input from the plurality of provider terminals 200 and calculates an average bid price. In practice, it is preferable to take a manner in which the supplier inputs the dumping reference ratio in advance in the supplier information stored in the auction system 100 and inputs the stored dumping reference ratio in future participating auctions. The average dumping criterion ratio is multiplied by the average bidding price to obtain a dumping criterion value, and it is determined whether the bidder's bidding amount corresponds to dumping. Here, the dumping reference ratio is characterized in that 60% to 90%, and to determine how much the price corresponds to the dumping to a number of suppliers, the average value is used as the dumping criteria.

The automatic bid adjustment module 116 determines whether to apply the automatic bid adjustment to the current auction, and sets the automatic adjustment ratio of the automatic auction applied. In other words, the auction item of the auction to be started or the other conditions are determined based on the input of the order, and the auction is suitable for automatic adjustment. Apply auto-adjustment.

In addition, according to the price of the auction item, an appropriate ratio of automatic adjustment is set. For example, if the expected bid price is 1 million won, it would be desirable to set the auto-adjustment ratio to 5% and 10% if it is 100,000 won.

The bid automatic adjustment module 116 selects the minimum bid among the bids included in the plurality of quotes, and calculates a difference by comparing the minimum bid with each bid. The difference ratio, which is the ratio between each difference and the minimum bid, is calculated, and it is determined whether the difference ratio is less than or equal to the automatic adjustment ratio. If the difference ratio of a specific bid is greater than the automatic adjustment ratio, the bid is not changed. However, if the difference is less than or equal to, change the bid equal to the minimum bid.

In other words, the price is higher than the minimum bid, but the bidder is automatically lowered to the supplier who offered the bid that the difference does not exceed the predetermined range. From the consumer's point of view, the bid close to the minimum bid can be lowered, making it possible to purchase goods or services at a lower cost. In practice, it is desirable to limit the automatic adjustment ratio to about 0% to 10%.

The payment information management module 118 calls the information of the consumer who selected the supplier of the goods or services to pay for the purchase price of the goods or services. To this end, it may be connected to financial institution systems (not shown) such as banks and credit card companies.

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing the flow of the auction method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, the supplier first registers as a supplier by accessing the auction system 100 and inputting the supplier information. (①)

When an order form containing order information is input from a consumer terminal 300 of a consumer who wants to purchase a product or service (②), the auction system 100 transmits the order to a plurality of supplier terminals 200 registered in the auction system 100. (③)

Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the order form input from the consumer terminal. The order includes the customer's name, contact details, address information for delivery, and other order options. Although FIG. 4 illustrates a reverse auction order for moving, other options will be presented in translation service or legal service order.

When the quotation is submitted from the supplier terminal 200 that received the order, it is stored, and if the supplier applies for automatic bidding, the supplier's automatic bidding information including the sales article set by the supplier, the sales amount, and the sales conditions (4) The supplier cannot access the auction system 100 every time to grasp all the order information. Therefore, if the sales conditions of a certain condition are set only once, it is necessary to access the auction system 100 one by one. You will automatically be able to quote orders that meet the terms and conditions you set. Therefore, there is an advantage that can solve the inconvenience of the supplier, can provide a variety of bidding opportunities, and the consumer can receive more quotations.

5 is a block diagram showing a quotation form input from the supplier terminal.

The auction system 100 organizes a plurality of input quotes and transmits them to the consumer terminal 300 to disclose.

When a successful bidder selection signal for a supplier is input from the consumer terminal 300 (⑥), the auction system 100 transmits the successful bid result to the supplier terminal 200 participating in the bid and announces it.

If the winning supplier provides goods or services (⑧), the consumer pays the purchase price through the financial institution. (⑨)

The above except for the automatic bidding participation is a method used in a conventional reverse auction system, and a detailed description thereof is omitted since the system for implementing the other reverse auction is a conventional technology.

6 is a flow chart showing the flow of the anti-dumping method. Referring to FIG. 6, when an order is input from the consumer terminal 300 to the auction system 100 and the auction is started, the supplier inputs a dumping criterion (S102).

The input of the dumping criteria may be included in the quotation, or after the quotation is submitted, a selection window for inputting the dumping criteria may be provided by the supplier. As mentioned above, it is possible to have a supplier enter a dumping criterion every time he / she writes a quotation, but when the supplier is initially saved or when setting up a conversion, he or she must enter the dumping criterion and call it to be included in the quote. Would be more desirable.

7 is a configuration diagram showing a selection window for applying the anti-dumping method. As shown in FIG. 7, the anti-dumping process is applied to the own bidding, and the dumping criterion ratio is input to select whether the dumping rate is less than% of the average bid.

When the preparation of the quotation including the dumping criteria is completed, a plurality of supplier terminals 200 submits the quotation to the auction system 100 (S104).

The dumping criterion calculating module 114 calculates an average dumping criterion ratio by summing the dumping criterion ratios described in the plurality of quotations, and calculates the average bid price by summing the bids described in the plurality of quotations.

The dumping criterion calculating module 114 calculates a dumping criterion value by multiplying the average bidding price and the average dumping criterion ratio. (S108) For example, when the average bidding price of 10 bidders is 1,000,000 won and the average dumping criterion ratio is 70%. The dumping threshold is 700,000 won.

The dumping criterion calculating module 114 compares the dumping criterion value with the bids described in the respective quotations and considers the dumping to be a dumping when the bidding value is less than or equal to the dumping criterion value (S110). Is all considered dumping.

The central processing unit 102 invalidates all bids regarded as dumping (S112).

The central processing unit 102 transmits and announces the finally valid bid result including the bid result classified as dumping to the consumer terminal 300. (S114) At this time, the bid result determined as dumping may be deleted from the list, It can be included in the list, but not selected as a successful bidder. It is also possible to indicate whether or not to select the dumping bids together with other valid bid details in order to leave it entirely to the consumer.

8 is a table showing a bidder list to which the anti-dumping method is applied. In FIG. 8, since the dumping criterion value is 958,500 won, the bidder of bidder 6 (jeilentert) may be regarded as dumping.

9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the automatic bid adjustment method. Referring to FIG. 9, when an order is input from the consumer terminal 300 to the auction system 100 and the auction is started, the automatic bidding module 116 inputs whether the automatic adjustment is made and the automatic adjustment ratio (S202). The auction system 100 determines whether or not to apply the automatic bid adjustment to the auction, if the conditions are appropriate, the automatic bid adjustment is applied and the timely disclosure of the order.

10 is a block diagram showing a selection window for applying the automatic bid adjustment method. As shown in Figure 10, whether to apply the automatic bid adjustment process and the automatic adjustment ratio is determined by the automatic bid adjustment module 116, the automatic adjustment ratio is preferably 0% to 10%.

When the order form describing the item details and various purchase conditions together with the automatic adjustment ratio is input from the auction system 100 to the supplier terminal 200, a plurality of supplier terminals 200 submits a quotation by looking at the entered order form. )

The bid automatic adjustment module 116 calculates the minimum bid among the bids described in the plurality of quotations (S206).

The automatic bidding adjustment module 116 calculates the difference between each bid and the minimum bid (S208) and calculates a difference ratio indicating the ratio of each difference to the minimum bid and calculates the difference between the bid and the bid presented by the supplier. Compare the automatic adjustment ratio (S210). That is, if the minimum bid is 1,000,000 won and his bid is 1,050,000 won, the difference is 50,000 won and the difference ratio becomes 5%.

If the difference ratio of a specific supplier is less than or equal to the automatic adjustment ratio, the bid of the specific supplier is adjusted to be equal to the minimum bid price (S212). That is, the automatic adjustment ratio is 5%, and his bid is 1,030,000 won, If the minimum bid is 1,000,000 won, the difference is 3%, so his bid is automatically adjusted to 1,000,000 won.

The central processing unit 102 transmits and announces the final bidding result of which the bid is automatically adjusted to the consumer terminal 300 which inputs the order form (S214).

11 is a table illustrating a bidder list to which an automatic bid adjustment method is applied. As shown in FIG. 11, the final bidder list may display both the bid before the automatic adjustment and the bid after the automatic adjustment, or may display only the final adjusted bid.

Although the Internet reverse auction method according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the right of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and the right extends to a range that can be easily modified by those skilled in the art.

According to the present invention, the supplier can automatically participate in the auction meeting the sales conditions set by him, so that he can get more sales opportunities, and the consumer can receive a quotation from more companies, thereby making the choice wider. It works.

In addition, according to the present invention it is possible to ensure the quality of the goods by preventing excessive low-cost competition by excluding bidding or penalties in the bid to consider the bidding below a certain ratio as dumping.

In addition, according to the present invention, by providing a supplier with an amount close to the minimum bidding opportunity to change the bid under a certain limit, there is an effect that can guarantee a lot of opportunities for the consumer's choice.
