The present invention relates to an internet auction system using a video and chat method and a method thereof, and more particularly, to perform an auction using a real-time video and a chat method on the Internet, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the internet auction and participating in the internet auction. And an internet auction system using a video and chat method for promoting economic and time benefits for both bidders and a method thereof.

General auctions include general auctions, reverse auctions, Dutch auctions, and so on.

Regular Auction: Starting with the seller's base price, bidders continue to bid higher than the bid given by the previous bidder. The bid will continue to rise until the end of the auction. In this way, the more bidders that participate, the higher the price, the higher the winning bid price is determined. In more detail, a seller who wants to sell a product (item or service) registers a product on an internet auction site. At this point, you will be required to enter a description of the product and the auction deadline. At the auction start time, bidders respond to the bidding by entering a bid. The bid should be entered higher than the bid so far in order to participate in the auction. In this way, bidders continue to enter a higher bid until the auction deadline, and when the auction closes, the bidder who entered the highest bid is determined. According to this method, a person who wants to win a certain product has a difficulty of waiting until the auction deadline and entering the highest price just before the deadline. In addition, it is very difficult to exchange information with the seller and it is not possible to make pricing through direct negotiation. In order to obtain product information from the seller, all the information about the product entered by the seller is a method of real-time mutual information exchange through direct chat. Internet sites that currently use this method include eBay (www.ebay.com) and Internet Auction (www.auction.co.kr).

Reverse Auction: A method in which a seller decides whether to sell at a price suggested by a consumer. That is, a bidding price for selling among sellers is suggested. Consumers can buy at lower prices as competition between sellers intensifies. For example, a buyer of a commodity (consumer) wishes to purchase a specific commodity (commodity A) for 1,000 won, enters a desired price, and enters an auction. Sellers who want to sell the product A enter a lower price to sell the product. In this way, unlike general auctions, bid prices continue to fall. At the end of the auction time, the seller with the lowest bid will supply the product to the consumer at the winning price. In this way, Priceline of the United States has registered a patent and is currently operating on priceline.com.

Dutch Auction: The seller sets the highest price, and the consumer decides whether to buy at a reasonable price below it. That is, when the auction price is reached by the seller, the auction ends automatically before the auction time is closed. To explain this in more detail, the seller suggests the desired maximum auction price along with the auction end time. The seller proposes a desired price at which he wants to sell a certain product for 1,000 won along with the auction end time. The bidders bid at a lower price. If a bidder shows a price of 1,000 won, the bidder is determined and the auction ends automatically.

However, this general Internet auction method has the following problems.

First, there is a problem that can not be determined in consultation with all matters including the price between the seller and the bidder in real time. It is simply auction between a seller and a bidder for a certain time and price.

Secondly, the auction results must be waited for until the specified time or price is reached, and there is an inefficiency that the seller cannot complete.

Third, bidders cannot hear information about products directly from the seller in real time. Thus, it is difficult to obtain additional information on the auction item.

Fourthly, the bidder enters the bid price and continues the undecided state of waiting for the result until the end of the registration period. There is a difficulty that a bidder who wants to win the bid must wait until the auction deadline and bid the bid imminently.

In order to solve the problems occurring in such a general Internet auction method, the conventionally proposed technology is Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2001-56206 (name of the invention: Internet auction system using a chat method) and published patent publication number 2001-109695 (name of the invention: a real-time Internet auction system using video chat or avatar chat).

Briefly looking at the technical contents disclosed in the prior art, the auction proceeds in a manner of exchanging transactions by auction price, barter trading, and bargain with the auction price in face-to-face via video chat or avatar chat. In addition, the introduction of the chat method during the Internet auction maximizes the efficiency of the Internet auction, the technical content to return the economic, time, and emotional benefits to both the Internet site operators, bidders and bidders.

However, this conventional technology also has a restriction that auctioning by video chat is possible only at limited auction sites (for example, Internet video chat room), and various information (video, content, VOD) that the bidder requests for the auction item is limited. There was a disadvantage that can not be provided.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed in order to solve various problems occurring in the conventional Internet auction method as described above,

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing "Internet auction method using the image and chat method" according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a bidder who wants to respond to an auction through the Internet accesses the terminal, the type or information of the auction product is guided through the web browser of the terminal (S101 ˜ S103), and after the auction information guide. When a specific auction is selected, the step of guiding a schedule and a successful bidding method of the auction (S105), and if a bidder wants to participate in the auction, performs a member certification process, and if the member is authenticated, determining the auction type selected by the member. (S107 ~ S113), and when the auction type is auction auction, if the pre-order bidder pays for the auction goods, controlling the successful bidders to be delivered through the delivery system after the announcement of the successful bidder (S115 ~ S121), and the auction type In the case of a live auction, the auction is carried out through video communication and chat (S123), and when the live auction is closed, a successful bidder is selected, and the successful bidder is settled and shared. And performing the high and successful bid product delivery control step (S125 to S127).

The detailed description of the Internet auction system and the method using the video and chat method according to the present invention configured and made as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

First, the present invention allows the seller (auction coordinator) and the buyer (bidder) to face each other on the screen, listen to the voice and watch the shared product through the Internet so that the description or picture of the seller can be immediately transmitted to each other without loss time It is. To this end, the present invention provides a remote image transmission system for realizing an image transmission / reception environment of an individual, and provides a remote image transmission system for sellers and multiple buyers. Tools for commercial purposes, such as various video auctions, are added to an existing video exchange system or video chat system. In addition, a streaming technology used for existing internet broadcasting or webcasting is used for remote image transmission between a seller and a plurality of buyers, and a program for real-time auction using images is added thereto. There are two types, depending on how you connect users. One is a method where a seller conducts real-time commerce to buyers via a server directly, and the other is a method where a computer performs a server function and delivers image information directly to consumers without passing through a server.

In the case of directly passing through the server, a high quality image and sound can be obtained, which requires a lot of expenses, but the number of information providing materials that can be opened by one server is limited. If the computer using the seller's system performs the server function, it is via the server only at the first authentication stage, and then the consumers and sellers are directly connected. Image transmission is possible. In addition, this system can be implemented very cheaply compared to a real-time interactive internet broadcasting system using a conventional server.

It implements commerce operation methods such as real-time auction based on technology that adds commerce tools to existing video conferencing or video chat system and reduces streaming loss time for existing webcasting. Thus, in a one-to-one video exchange system, the seller and the buyer can see each other's faces and listen to the product description.In a large auction system, buyers can listen to the producer or seller's voice, listen to the product while looking at the face, There is an interactive way to ask questions and hear answers.

The present invention should be based on the technology of complex IP multicasting. It is not the idea level but the product of a complex technology in which images of each other must be sent and received. The basic environment to achieve this is to adjust the frame rate necessary for the supported resolution. Therefore, proper resolution (QCIF (176 * 144) / CIF (352 * 288) / VGA (640 * 480)) is accompanied, and the frame is freely controlled from 1 to 29 frames per second, and the video bit rate ) Forced control function and the technology that controls peripheral device such as headset, microphone must be supported at the same time. There is also a need for an underlying technology in which the number supported per unit network must support a certain quantity. IP multicasting tunneling is also required. A web conference is also required for real-time video auctions, which must also be supported in order to increase credibility as all materials can be shared for interactive video auctions. Other techniques, such as remote control of web server functions, also apply.

The bidder (buyer) is connected to the site operated by the auction server 300 that provides a live auction service through the Internet (HTTP) 400 using the terminal 501 in step S101, and in step S103 The auction product provided by the event module 311 of 300 is viewed. Here, the bidder may enter the shopping mall in addition to the auction product and view the products provided by the shopping mall. Viewing or purchasing a product through a shopping mall on a website is a well-known technique, and thus its detailed description is omitted.

If the bidder selects a particular auction using the key input means of the terminal 501 while viewing the auction product, the event module 311 of the auction server 300 in step S105, the auction schedule for the selected auction, auction successful bid The method and the like are provided on the web browser of the bidder terminal 501 so that the bidder can easily know the auction information. Here, the auction schedule includes auction date, auction item name, introduction, market price, lower limit price, upper limit price and sales quantity information.

When the bidders familiar with the auction schedule and the auction winning method participate in the auction using the terminal 501 in step S107, the login step (S109), the member authentication step (S111), and the member registration step (S113) are selectively performed. If the membership is verified by performing, go to step S115 to check whether the reservation auction participation.

There are two types of member authentication methods, one using ID and password, and the other using cookie. Since the member authentication method is also known technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As is well known, the bidder terminal 501 is a multimedia computer equipped with a sound card, a PC video camera, a microphone and a speaker (or a headset with a microphone). In this case, the video camera is not necessarily required, and in the case of a terminal without a video camera, the user may express his or her question or requirement during a live auction in a chat room.

As a result of checking whether the reservation auction participation, if the participation in the reservation auction, go to step S117 and the auction server 300 manages the reservation bidder through the linkage of the reservation bidding module 313 and the reservation bidding DB 340, reservation When the bidder pays for the auction item, the successful bidder is interposed in step S119, and the successful bidder is controlled to be delivered to the successful bidder during the period passed through the delivery system in step S121.

Here, the reservation auction bidder will make a payment after making a reservation bid. Reserved bidders are selected as successful bidders after the live auction broadcast ends, and if the bid is not successful, the bidder will be returned later.

Meanwhile, when the bidder participates in the live auction as in step S123, the live auction is performed through the process as shown in FIG. 4. For example, a live auction is a 10-minute auction, a 20-minute auction, a 30-minute auction, or an hour auction, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the nature of the product sold. At this time, during the live broadcast, the purchase intention person can immediately query the characteristics and questions of the product on the screen and can also inquire by chatting.

In detail, the auction method to be operated here is to first determine the quantity of the product of the seller, the market price, the site selling price, the lower price, the upper limit price and provides the information to the bidder in advance.

As shown in step S201, the real-time imager 110 photographs a partial macro screen of the auction product in real time and transmits it to the bidder terminal 501 through the live broadcast connection connection device 370 and the broadcast server 380.

The live broadcast connection connection device 370 is composed of a live main screen, a reception screen, a data connection screen, a chat screen and a streaming bug control screen in a screen configuration. It will also play an important role in minimizing other manpower, such as sending and receiving coordination.

In addition, the broadcast server 380 performs a function of pre-adjusting a situation in which an overload is suddenly increased by adjusting the number of images received or the number of frames of the purchase bidder during live broadcasting. In addition, the broadcast server 380 is equipped with an IP multicasting function to perform a bidirectional video transmission and reception function. The broadcast server 380 provides an auction bidder who accesses to watch live video and audio in real time, and provides a dedicated client program for accessing the broadcast server 380, and converts the frame before providing the video and audio to the client. The saved image file is sent and provided to the client.

When the live auction starts in step S203, the auction is proceeded by writing and voice of the auction item. During the live auction, when the bidder requests a query or a specific service as in step S205, the service is correspondingly provided. Live auctions will take place as you perform.

For example, when the bidder asks a question by voice as in steps S207 and S209, the auction is carried out through a dialogue using a microphone and a speaker.

In addition, when the bidder requests a query or data through the chat window, the chat room module 316 operates to respond to the bidder's query through the chat window. Here, the live auction progression method using the chat method also applies a well-known chat method as it is not described in detail.

In addition, when the bidder requests the video material for the auction item as in step S215, in step S217 the video providing unit 220 provides the video information already prepared for the auction item requested by the bidder. The bidder then knows more about the product through the video information.

In addition, when the bidder requests the auction item content as in step S219, the web material providing unit 230 and the computer data providing unit 240 operate in step S221, and the web for the auction item stored in advance as in step S221. Materials and computer resources will be provided.

In addition, when the bidder requests the moving of the real video during the live auction as in step S223, the real imager 110 operates as in step S225 to transmit a video of the bidder's request to the terminal of the bidder. do.

If the auction is closed during the auction in this manner, the process moves to step S127 to select a successful bidder.

That is, the quantity of the product of the seller is determined, the market price, the site selling price, the lower limit price, the upper limit price, and the information is provided to the bidder in advance, and the bidder has enough information on the product such as the characteristics and inquiries of the product while listening to the auction broadcast. After recognizing, the buyer offers the most reasonable bid price between the upper and lower prices of the product. At the time of bidding, the bidding module 314 and the live bidding DB 350 are linked to manage bidding.

When selecting the successful bidders, the successful bidders are selected by the tables shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a table showing whether the bid is successful when the number of bidders is larger than the auction item, and FIG. 6 is a table showing whether the bid is successful when the number of bidders is smaller than the auction items.

For example, the bid price is matched with the quantity sold of the product in the order of high price.

At the end of the match, auction bidders who offer too low a price will drop and await the next opportunity. However, after the auction, it is a secret of who bought what price, so the other bidders cannot know the other party's price. This is also an interesting feature of live auctions. Also, even if I win the auction, I don't know how cheap I was. Here, the seller has given a lower limit and an upper limit. If the lower price becomes too cheaper than the market price, it may cause a loss to the seller. If the lower price is not provided, there may be a damage to the buyer, which may cause problems. Only the auction method of the present invention can be purchased at a reasonable price and a reasonable price while having fun bidding.

If a successful bidder is selected, the successful bidder performs payment on the successful bidding article as in step S117. When the successful bidder is made, the successful bidder is notified and the successful bidder is delivered. This method is performed in the same way as payment or product delivery in the existing shopping mall.

The present invention described above can serve derivatively to the seller and the buyer in four forms.

First, there is a form in which an operator installing the Internet auction system according to the present invention directly employs salesmen, recruits buyers, and sells products by applying a sales technique such as auction.

Secondly, the operator rents all or part of the above image system. This is unique to this business model. When equipped with the image exchange system of the present invention, it is possible to provide almost unlimited space for small and large-scale products. It is as if there are a myriad of products in a huge retail store, and these products can again be leveraged to form a functional and functionally classified cyberspace to rent commerce systems. The system provided by the present invention is free of such leases. Lending systems for small and large products can serve sellers and buyers. This type of lease can be further divided into two ways, one that literally provides lease of cyber space. The other is to lend a space and provide buyers with information about producers, such as auctions, and get paid for renting the space and a service that introduces the seller and buyer to each other. These services can be used for services that can improve the quality, for example, where the producer does not have a distribution system, and the producer strives to improve the quality of the product.

Third, it is possible to edit the image screened for the purpose of renting or selling this image system to producers and sellers who want to produce a product as a video and edit it, and sell it based on a certain profit.

Fourth, it provides an opportunity to upload the edited video on the personal or company homepage for other purposes.

The first, third, and fourth case above may not be so new. However, the purpose of this business model is to introduce the above image transmission system and to construct a commerce site having a portal character. To this end, it is desirable to combine the above four types of service into one.

According to the present invention described above, where the Internet is connected, there is an effect that the auction can be made through real-time interactive image information without limitation of space according to the computer specification of the client.

In addition, there is an advantage in that a similar method to off-line commerce in which sellers and buyers (bidders) face each other and sell is possible on the Internet, and large-scale, real-time interactive commerce can be inexpensively constructed. There is also.

In addition, since you can rent and use as much space and time as you need without having to build a site for auction, there is an advantage that you can save money and time to build a website.
