Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for providing product price information and store information of a shopping mall adjacent to a user's location for a requested product using a wireless internet and a wired internet in a price comparison site.

Wired Internet users are divided into non-members and members.In case of non-members, when requesting information on products through wired internet, the WHOIS service is used based on the IP address of the user. As a result, product price information and store information of an adjacent store may be provided.

If you are a member, you will be provided with product price information and store information for nearby stores based on the residential address you created when you signed up.

In addition, when a member / non-member user requests a neighboring store at a specific address, it provides price information and store information of a store adjacent to a specific region.

Due to the nature of the price comparison site, there are only a few sites that wired Internet users purchase. In the case of a wired Internet member, when a user requests through a button click or the like, the purchase information is stored in a purchase information database and the list of purchases is displayed at a point in time desired by the user.

In the case of a wireless Internet user, when a user requests information on a product, a price information and a store information of a store adjacent to the user's location are provided using a location tracking system provided by a mobile communication company.

[Documentation information of the prior art]

The present invention is a commerce using the user's location in the price comparison site, the method using the IP and WHOIS service, or the address for the requested product for wired Internet users and the location information system for the wireless Internet users The present invention relates to a method of providing information for purchasing goods faster and more conveniently by providing price information and shop information of a neighboring mall from a place.

In the case of the existing price comparison site, only the ON-LINE shopping mall makers compare prices and provide unreasonable results that cannot be compared with the OFF-LINE mall. Such exclusion of off-line store companies did not provide consumers with a wide range of product comparisons and various information, and lacks an active means for profitability of off-line store companies that do not have on-line shopping malls. As mentioned above, it is pointed out that OFF-LINE mall companies cannot expect further profitability as a local merchant and therefore cannot contribute to industrial development at all. Inconvenience has arisen because it does not provide the shop information of the most necessary neighborhood for users who want to purchase products quickly.

However, in this system, by presenting the ON-LINE shopping mall company and the store information on the OFF-LINE together, comparing the prices and using the location information to provide the product price and store information of the store closest to the user's current location It makes the purchase of goods more convenient.

As mentioned above, the conventional price comparison site only targets ON-LINE shopping mall companies, and has a problem with the lack of profit model generation in the OFF-LINE shopping mall industry. As a result of exploring ways to promote consumption and providing mall information in a region adjacent to the user, the present inventors propose a model that contributes to industrial development as a result of encouraging local industrial activity through a price comparison site.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a price comparison through an internet connection between an on-line shopping mall company and an off-line shopping mall, and to provide a product that a user wants to acquire in the immediate region quickly and conveniently.

The present invention proposes the following three approaches in determining the user's location based on the price comparison between the ON-LINE shopping mall company and the OFF-LINE shopping mall company, and store the site where the user decides to purchase after price comparison. If desired, provide a way to store on a storage medium.

1, when a non-member 201 requests information about a product by accessing the wired Internet

When the non-member 201 accesses the service provider 200 through the Internet and selects a product to purchase, the non-member 201 provides price information of the on-line shopping mall company and the off-line shopping company, and extracts the IP of the connected user. Obtain the address of the IPv4 user authority information through the WHOIS service 209. The OFF-LINE store information of the nearest region is provided by matching with the address or coordinate value of the OFF-LINE store 206 stored in the DB of the service provider 200. At this time, when the user requests the off-line mall information adjacent to a specific region, the user provides information of the off-line mall company 206 adjacent to the requested region.

2. When a member requests information on a product by connecting to the wired Internet

When a member who subscribes through the Internet accesses a server providing a service and selects a product to purchase, the member provides price information of the ON-LINE shopping mall company 205 and the OFF-LINE store company 206. Based on the address 207 created in the above, the OFF-LINE store information 206 of the nearest region is provided by matching with the address or coordinate value of the OFF-LINE store 206 stored in the DB of the server. At this time, when the user requests the information of the adjacent OFF-LINE mall 206 of a specific region, the information of the OFF-LINE merchant 206 adjacent to the requested region is provided.

3. When a member / nonmember requests information on a product using wireless Internet

When the wireless Internet user 203 requests information about a product, a search word may have various forms. In this case, when the compound word and the noun are extracted through the morpheme analysis 211, and the wireless Internet user 203 queries the model name, what is the exact query word of the wireless Internet user 203 by extracting the pattern of the model name consisting of alphabets and numbers. Determine the cognition. The mobile terminal acquires a place where the user is located by using the location tracking system 208 provided by the mobile communication company, and provides price information and shop information 206 of an adjacent store.

Due to the nature of the price comparison site, there are only a few sites that wired Internet users purchase. In the case of the wired Internet member 207, when a user requests through a button click or the like, the purchase information is stored in the purchase information database 210 to show a list of purchases up to now.

According to the present invention, the user can easily compare the price information of the ON-LINE shopping mall company and the OFF-LINE shopping mall company to know the lowest price on the ON / OFF-LINE. In addition, it is possible to easily obtain the information of the adjacent shopping mall from the place where it is located can provide a convenience for consumers who want to purchase goods quickly.

In addition, if you use the wireless Internet, you can obtain the price and shopping information of the product you want to purchase from the OFF-LINE store even if you do not know where you are located. In this way, the industrial activities of the local shopping centers can be energized and contribute to the regional development.

In addition, due to the nature of the price comparison site, there are many sites to purchase. Since it is impossible for a user to remember such purchase information one by one, storing and managing such purchase information in a database makes it easy for a user to know where and what goods are purchased even when a problem occurs in a purchased product. In this way, when a user requests (through a button click, etc.), the purchase information can be stored in the database 210 to show a list of purchases for the time being desired by the user.
