Here, the user terminal 100 is connected through the information communication network 200 (for example, the Internet network).

The selling price determination server 300 is a computer system including a central processing unit, a RAM, a ROM, a network interface, a data storage device, and the like. Servers can be used as personal computers or workstations with a certain amount of memory and processing power.

The selling price determination server 300 is a product (for example, a travel product, a hotel, a condo, a pension, a lodging ticket, a performance ticket such as a movie, a theater, an opera, a concert, a general product, an electronic product) , A sales product database (DB) 370 constructed using an unsold apartment, a car, a ticket, etc., a selling price, a selling quantity, and a selling time period, and a period of time elapsed during the selling time period (e.g., For example, a discount rate of 10 days before the deadline, 9 days before the deadline, 8 days before the deadline, 1 day before the deadline, and the deadline (for example, 1% before the 10th deadline, 2% before the 9th deadline, 3% before the 8th deadline) And a discount information database (DB) 380 corresponding to a period of 9 days before the deadline and 10% of the deadline, etc. for each period. The user terminal has made a communication connection through the information communication network 200. Via sales-related web pages sent to (100). When a purchase request signal is received for a product within the range of sale, a discount amount to be applied to the received sales price of the received purchase request item is calculated and the discount amount calculated is reflected in the payment amount or the mileage accumulation is selected. Accept and provide the final payment. In this case, when the reflected discounted amount is selected as the settlement amount, payment processing is performed for the final product settlement amount after deducting the discount amount, and when the accumulation is selected as mileage, payment for the final product settlement amount which does not deduct the discount amount. The discount is paid in mileage instead of processing.

The discount amount is calculated by calculating a period that elapses from the sale start date of the sale of the requested product to the purchase request date, and detects and stores the discount rate stored in the discount information database (DB) 380. The amount calculated using the discount rate and the selling price.

The sales-related web page displays information on the product to be sold, the selling price of the product, the discount rate at the current time to be applied to the selling price, the sales quantity, the inventory quantity, and the buyer information (for example, e-mail address, ID, nickname, etc.). When the purchase is not requested, inventory quantity and buyer information are not displayed, and after the purchase is requested, inventory quantity and buyer information are displayed together.

Hereinafter, the functional configuration of the above-described selling price determination server 300 will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, the selling price determining server 300 includes a selling product management module 310, an elapsed period calculating module 320, a discount rate detecting module 330, a selling price determining module 340, and buyer information. Management and payment support module 350, mileage management module 355, inventory product management module 360, sales product database (DB) 370, discount information database (DB) 380, mileage database (DB) ( 385), inventory database (DB) 390, and the like.

In the present embodiment, the description is limited to the sales method in the online shopping mall, but it is of course applicable to the TV home shopping sales method.

In addition, the present embodiment specifies that the service can be used even if a member who goes through the login process after completing the member registration process or a non-member who does not go through the login process according to the user's membership request.

The selling product management module 310 transmits a web page for registering a selling product when a registration request signal for a product to be sold is input from the user terminal 100 that has made a communication connection through the information communication network 200. After receiving the sales product information to be sold from the user terminal 100 through the transmitted web page, the received sales product information is stored and managed in the sales product database (DB) 370.

In this case, the sales product information received through the user terminal 100 includes a product to be sold, a sale price, a quantity sold, a sale designation period, etc. The product to be sold includes a travel product, a general product, and an electronic product (eg, Such as TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and the like), automobiles, lodging tickets, performance tickets, and tickets, and the like for sale.

In the present embodiment, it is described as receiving the sales product information to be sold from the user terminal 100, but the server administrator may also receive the sales product information.

The sales product management module 310 stores and manages a discount rate to be differentially applied to the sale designation period in the discount information database (DB) 380. Here, it is preferable to apply so as to gradually increase with the passage of time. In addition, the increase in the discount rate applied as the period elapses may be designated according to a request of a user or a request of a server administrator.

When the elapsed period calculation module 320 receives a purchase request signal for a product for sale through a sales related web page transmitted to a user terminal which has made a communication connection through the information communication network 200, the product requested to be purchased. Calculate the elapsed period from the sale start date of selling to the purchase request date. The sale-related web pages include detailed information, sale quantity, inventory quantity, and buyer information of the product being sold.

The discount rate detection module 330 detects the discount rate stored in the discount information database (DB) 380 corresponding to the period calculated by the elapsed period calculation module 320. The discount information database (DB) 380 stores a discount rate corresponding to a time unit such as a daily unit, an hour unit, a minute unit, or a second unit. This discount rate gradually increases over time.

The sale price determination module 340 calculates a discount amount based on the discount rate detected by the discount rate detection module 330 and selects whether to reflect the calculated discount amount on a settlement amount or through mileage accumulation. Determine the amount of payment. In this case, the final product settlement amount determined may be an amount deducting a discount amount or may be an amount that is not applied to the discount amount. If the discount amount is not applied, the discount amount is paid as mileage.

For example, if the selling price is 1000 won and the detected discount rate is 10%, if the price is reflected as the payment amount, the payment is made for 900 won after deducting the discount amount of 100 won from 1,000 won, but it is reflected as mileage. In this case, payment for 1,000 won is made and mileage of 100 won is paid.

The purchaser information management and payment support module 350 transmits a payment related web page for inputting payment request information including payment information and shipping information to the user terminal 100 and received through the transmitted web page. Supports payment processing based on payment request information including payment information and delivery address information. At this time, the authentication of the payment information received from the user terminal 100 is requested by a certification authority (not shown) to determine whether to deliver the product to the buyer according to the authentication of the payment information.

Here, the payment information is the final product payment amount determined by the selling price determination module 340, the selection of the payment method (for example, bank transfer, credit card payment, mobile phone payment, etc.), the individual according to the selected payment method Information, choice of payment method (such as lump sum payment, 3-month installment, 6-month installment, etc.).

In addition, the buyer information management and payment support module 350 uses some of the member information (for example, ID, email address, telephone number disclosed under the buyer's consent, etc.) when the member who performed the login process. The information related to the purchase is generated in real time on the sale-related web page. In this case, the buyer information is added to the buyer list as soon as the processing for the payment request of the sale product is made. In addition, the purchaser information includes an e-mail address, ID, screen name, telephone number, etc. disclosed under the consent of the buyer.

In addition, the buyer information management and payment support module 350 in addition to the differential discount rate for each period, as well as how to pay the sales amount (e.g., lump sum, 3 month installment, 6 month installment, 12 month installment, etc.) As a result, it may be possible to apply discounts to sales prices.

When the payment processing for the final product payment amount is completed through the buyer information management and payment support module 350 as described above, that is, when the mileage accumulation is selected by the user and the payment processing for the final product payment amount to which the discount amount is not applied is completed. The mileage management module 355 stores and manages the discount amount calculated in accordance with the discount rate at the time of purchase in the mileage database (DB) 386. In this case, the mileage database (DB) 386 stores the mileage in correspondence with the member information. If the mileage database (DB) 386 is not a member, the mileage is stored in correspondence with non-member information (for example, name, social security number, etc.).

In the present exemplary embodiment, the mileage calculated according to the discount rate at the time of purchase is provided, but also includes points, cyber money, etc. calculated according to the discount rate.

The mileage database (DB) 385 stores the mileage corresponding to the discount rate that is applied differentially over time, it is preferable to classify and store by the elapsed time.

The mileage management module 355 may store and manage the mileage in the mileage database (DB) together with the purchaser's membership information or non-member information, and may be used as a payment method for repurchasing the mileage stored in the mileage database (DB). Make sure

In addition, the mileage management module 355 corresponds to the mileage exceeding the reference value when the mileage stored in the mileage database DB exceeds a reference value (for example, 1000 points, 10000 points, 30000 points, etc.). To be paid in either commodity or cash. In this embodiment, the mileage is described as paying goods or cash, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The inventory product management module 360 grasps and grasps the inventory quantity which is subtracted by the number of products requested for purchase from the quantity of products being sold when payment processing for the final product settlement amount determined through the buyer information management and payment support module 350 is performed. Stored inventory quantity is stored and managed in the inventory product database (DB) (390). Here, the identified inventory quantity is immediately reflected in the sales-related web page that publishes the product being sold together with the buyer list.

The selling price determination server 300 includes a text message including at least one of a quantity of inventory determined through the inventory product management module 360, a period elapsed from a sale start date, and a purchase price available at the present time. It supports to be transmitted to the mobile communication terminal (not shown) of the desired purchaser. At this time, the text message and the purchaser's mobile number are transmitted to a mobile exchanger (not shown) to transmit the text message to the mobile communication terminal of the purchaser.

In addition, the selling price determination server 300 performs a communication connection from the mobile communication terminal receiving the text message transmitted as described above, and then requests the purchase of the product being sold to support the purchase of the product at the current available price. do.

Now, referring to FIG. 3, the selling method according to the variable discount rate in the online shopping mall according to the embodiment of the present invention, the selling price determination server 300 is a product (eg, a travel product, a general product) for sale Sales product database (DB) 370 and discount information database (using sales product information, including sales, electronics, unsold apartments, cars, tickets, etc.), sales prices, sales quantities, sales designated periods, and differential discount rates. DB) 380 is established (S100).

In this case, the selling product information may be input from the user terminal 100, which has made a communication connection through the information communication network 200, according to a registration request signal for a product to be sold, or may be directly input by a server administrator.

Next, the selling price determination server 300 makes a communication connection with the user terminal 100 to use the service through the information communication network 200 (S102).

Next, the selling price determination server 300 receives a member information (for example, ID and password) from the user terminal 100 which has made a communication connection through the information communication network 200 and performs a login process. . Here, even non-members who have not gone through the login process can use the service due to the process of receiving the purchaser information to be described later when requesting the purchase of the sale product.

Thereafter, the selling price determination server 300 transmits the sales related web page to the user terminal 100, the member who performed the login process or the non-member who does not go through the login process (S103). Here, the sales-related web page shows the detailed information of the product being sold, the selling price of the product, the discount rate at the present time to be applied to the selling price, the sales quantity, the stock quantity, the buyer information, and the like, when a purchase request has not occurred Detailed information of the product being sold, the selling price of the product, the discount rate at the present time to be applied to the selling price, and when the sales quantity is posted and a purchase request is made, with the agreement of the stock quantity identified by the step of identifying the stock quantity described below and the purchaser's agreement Buyer information is published.

Next, the sales price determination server 300 determines whether a purchase request signal for a product to be sold is received from the user terminal 100 through the transmitted sales-related web page (S104).

As a result of the determination in step S104, when the purchase request signal for the product to be sold is not received from the user terminal 100, the selling price determination server 300 maintains a standby state for a predetermined time.

As a result of the determination in step S104, when a purchase request signal for a product to be sold is received from the user terminal 100, the selling price determination server 300 starts from the sale start date of selling the requested product. The elapsed period up to is calculated (S106). That is, when a purchase request signal is received from a user on October 5 for a product having a sale start date of October 1 and a sale end date of October 10, the period elapsed from the sale start date to the purchase request date is 5 days. The work is calculated, and the five days calculated correspond to five days before the deadline.

Next, the selling price determination server 300 detects the calculated discount rate for each elapsed period from the discount information database (DB) 380 and calculates a discount amount based on the detected discount rate (S108). In this case, the discount information database (DB) 380 stores a discount rate designated for each period as time passes.

 For example, suppose that the selling price is 1,000 won, and the sales start date is 1% on October 1, and gradually increases by one, so that the discount rate is applied to 10% on October 10, the closing date. The stored discount rate 5% is detected in correspondence with the calculated elapsed period 5 days, and the discount amount 50 won is calculated based on the detected discount rate.

In the graph shown in FIG. 5, the discount rate applied to each elapsed time is increased in inverse proportion, and the sales designation period is 10 days, and the discount rate gradually increases by 1% from the sale start date to the sale end date.

In this embodiment, the sales designation period is limited to 10 days and the increase is limited to 1%, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the sale designation period may be specified not only in units of days but also in units of time, minutes, and seconds.

A shown in FIG. 5 is a part that is expected to occur when the maximum purchase request occurs in the sale designation period. As you can see in the graph above, if you buy the product on sale early, you can get a discount rate and if you buy late, you can run out of stock due to lack of stock. The purchase request is made when the optimal discount rate with the quantity of inventory is applied.

3 again, the selling price determination server 300 determines whether a request signal for whether to reflect the calculated discounted amount to a settlement amount or to reflect the mileage credit is received (S110).

As a result of the determination in step S110, when the calculated discount amount is selected as the mileage accumulation, the selling price determination server 300 provides the discount amount as the mileage according to the request for the mileage selected by the user. And, if the accumulated mileage provided exceeds the reference value, and performs a mileage-related subroutine to be paid in the corresponding goods or cash, etc. (S200 of FIG. 3), the process moves to the step S114 to be described later.

Referring to FIG. 4, the mileage-related subroutine (S200) will be described. When the sale price determination server 300 performs payment processing on the final product payment amount to which the discount rate at the purchase point is not applied, the discount rate at the corresponding purchase point is applied. The discounted amount is provided as mileage (S201). When the mileage is provided in this way, it is the case that the mileage is selected by the user, and the payment is made for the selling price without applying the discount rate to the selling price, and the selling price and the discount rate at the time of purchase are provided. It provides a discount amount calculated by using.

Next, the selling price determination server 300 accumulates the provided mileage in the mileage database (DB) 385 together with the user's login information or the buyer's personal information (S203).

Next, the selling price determination server 300 determines whether the mileage stored in the mileage database (DB) 385 exceeds the reference value (S205).

As a result of the determination in step S205, if the mileage stored in the mileage database (DB) 385 does not exceed the reference value, the selling price determination server 300 moves to the step S114 to be described later.

As a result of the determination in step S205, when the mileage stored in the mileage database (DB) 385 exceeds the reference value, the selling price determination server 300 is a mileage exchange method (for example, corresponding to the exceeded reference value) Send a web page (such as goods, cash, etc.) can be selected and through the transmitted web page to be paid according to the mileage exchange method selected by the user (S207).

In the present embodiment, the mileage exceeds the threshold, but even when the mileage is not exceeded, the accumulated mileage by the user's selection may be used as a payment method for repurchase or refunded in cash.

As a result of the determination in step S110, when the reflection of the calculated discount amount is selected as the settlement amount, the selling price determination server 300 subtracts the calculated discount amount, that is, the final calculated by applying the discount rate at the time of purchase. When the payment related web page including the product payment amount, payment information and shipping address information is transmitted and the payment processing is performed based on the payment information and the shipping address information inputted through the transmitted web page, the number of items requested for purchase is The amount of deductible inventory is identified, and the identified inventory quantity is stored and managed in the inventory product database (DB) 390, and the identified inventory quantity and information on the buyer who purchased the product are provided on the relevant web page for sale. (S112).

Here, the purchaser information includes an ID, an e-mail address, a phone number, etc., which are disclosed with the purchaser's consent in the case of the member who performed the login process, and the payment related webpage in the case of the non-member who did not perform the login process. Among the payment information received through the e-mail address, telephone number, etc. are disclosed with the consent of the buyer.

Next, the selling price determination server 300 determines whether the request signal is received from the terminal of the purchaser who wishes to receive the elapsed period and the inventory quantity in a text message for the product being sold (S114). As a result of the determination in step S114, if the terminal does not receive a request for the elapsed period and the inventory quantity in a text message from the terminal of the purchaser, the process ends.

As a result of the determination in step S114, when the purchase request terminal receives a request for receiving the elapsed period and the inventory quantity in a text message, the selling price determination server 300 determines the inventory quantity determined through the inventory product management module 360. And the elapsed time from the sale start date, the notification text message including at least one of the available price of the current point of time supports the transmission to the purchaser's mobile communication terminal (not shown) (S116). In this case, the text message may be transmitted periodically or aperiodically according to a user's request.
