Auction system for art works and rare objects and method

The present invention provides an auction transaction of works of art and rare goods, and once auctioned through the auction, the owner, exhibition place, price fluctuations are recorded in the auction DB to provide a continuous inquiry service. It provides an index of the value of writers, works, and styles of auction items as they accumulate, and evaluates the present price and future forecast price.

The normal auction item will assign the auction item to the successful bidder upon completion of the auction and complete the auction procedure. After that, the information about auction items and successful bidders disappears. And bidders who do not win will also purchase substitutes other than the auction.

On the contrary, when art and rare items become auction items, they have the following characteristics. First of all, there is no substitute for auction items and there is uniqueness and value scarcity, so the price rises over time as the price rises. If the value of artistic possessions is added here, the price may soar. Users who have accepted the auction but have not been successful tend to purchase the auction at the next opportunity. Therefore, even after the auction, we want to know the current status, price status, etc. for the auction. In addition, the successful bidder also wants to check the value of his auction over time and sell it at a higher price.

On the other hand, the price of art and rare goods has the following characteristics. First, prices are priced by absolute valuation based on unique value. Thus, the price the owner gives is the price. However, according to the evaluation of experts, it can be priced with some reasonable relative value.

In this situation, the absolute price called by the owner is important to guarantee the soundness of the market transaction of art and rare items, but it is also important to consider the market value given by experts. Because nowadays, it is possible to trade art for investment purposes, so it is necessary to present reasonable market price and price direction in investment perspective for buyers without relatively artistic expertise.

The present invention has been created in view of the above-mentioned point, in consideration of the characteristics of the art and rare goods auction products by presenting the evaluation price of experts at the auction bidding, induce bidding of bidders, once registered as an auction product When the auction proceeds, it aims to support the activation of continuous market transactions by providing the status of changes in ownership history of the auction items and the current price trends and future forecast prices for the auction items and products of the same category.

And a user terminal 3 for applying and inquiring history information of the auction item.

The auction item in the present invention refers to art and rare items. Art works refer to works produced by artists on the basis of aesthetic standards such as paintings, sculptures, and engravings. Rare items are crafts, antiques, and precious metals. Therefore, in determining the auction item of the present invention, as well as the art, it should be judged according to whether it is valued and induces people's desire to collect and is subject to a transaction.

The auction server 2 receives an auction product through the homepage 200. The owner of the auction item registers auction items such as auction prices, product classifications (paintings, sculptures, antiques), product characteristics (drawing style, genre), author (producer), production date, etc. and auctions. Here, product classification and product characteristics may be used to evaluate the value by reflecting the latest market situation trend.

In the present invention, when the auction application for the auction item is registered, the relevant expert of the auction item registers the expert evaluation information including the value index, the evaluation opinion corresponding to the value index, the evaluation opinion corresponding to the value index, and the evaluation price. . The price calculation element includes at least one of an artist, a workability, a product classification, a product characteristic, an owner history, an exhibition place history, and a market price status of the same product. For example, if there is a work of a famous writer, a history owned by a celebrity, and a history of exhibitions of public places (art exhibitions, museums, biennales, etc.), the expert may value the collection value at a high price.

Accordingly, in the present invention, when auctions in progress are inquired, a) auction product information and b) expert evaluation information (value index and evaluation price) are inquired. Therefore, the user can respond to the bid by referring to the reasonable price according to the expert's objective evaluation. Accordingly, the user can determine whether to bid or purchase with the help of experts on whether or not to counterfeit fertilization and price.

Furthermore, the present invention calculates and provides a future predicted price for the auction item that is registered once, as well as the auction in progress. The future forecast price is one of the c) future forecast price information which is automatically calculated in consideration of the author's famousness, the same product classification, and the price change of the recent sale price of other auction items having the product characteristics. That is, the future prediction price information includes the future prediction price that is automatically calculated and may include the evaluation index of the future prediction items that are the basis of the calculation. For example, if the auction product is completed for a conversation (commodity classification) or post-modern style (commodity characteristics) by other transactions including an auction, the same kind of commodity classification, commodity according to the change (variation rate) of the transaction price of the auction product is completed. The rate of change is reflected in the future forecast prices for other auction items that correspond to the feature. The rate of change may also be reflected in other auction items of the artist. Therefore, the future prediction price provided by the present invention serves as a guarantee of the artistic value of the work and at the same time serves as a guide for the future prospects for users participating for investment purposes.

If a successful bidder is determined according to the auction end for the auction product, the successful bidder deposits the successful bid price into the temporary account of the auction server 200. The winning bidder then confirms the transfer of ownership or requests the delivery of the owner after the auction is taken. Then, it provides an escrow settlement service that pays (transfers) to the owner who sold the transaction amount.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, a) auction product information is stored by the owner's auction item registration, and the user may register a reverse auction application or a direct transaction application to the owner for the auction product once registered. Accordingly, the auction server 2 may also mediate a transaction between the owner (seller) and the user (buyer) by the user's request.

In addition, in the present invention, it is also possible to register an unfinished work that the artist is currently working on as an auction item and proceed with the auction. For example, an unfinished auction can be auctioned as a gift by providing the bidder with an image or video of the work progress and textual information of the current work progress and completion time.

The user terminal 3 of the present invention refers to a terminal of a user who accesses the homepage 200 of the auction server 2 through a wired or wireless network, registers an auction product, participates in a bidding, and views an already registered auction product. In other words, the user here is a concept including a writer, owner, expert, general inquiry user.

The bidder receives a bid page or a bid information window from the homepage 200. In addition, the inquiry user is provided with an inquiry page of an auction product in progress of bidding and an existing registered auction product. At this time, the bidder and the inquiry user may selectively query a) auction product information, b) expert evaluation information, c) future prediction price information, d) auction product history information and the like as necessary.

The d) auction history information of the present invention not described above includes a sale history including an auction, an owner history, an exhibition place history, and a price history. Of these, when providing a price history, the transaction price of the past point of time is converted to the current currency value and displayed in parallel. Therefore, the user can more realistically estimate the transaction price trend of the artwork by using the conversion price considering the monetary value of the past price and the future forecast price.

2 shows a schematic internal configuration of an auction server 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The auction server 2 of the present invention a) register the auction information from the owner and auction registration means 21 for storing in the auction DB 211, select the expert of the registered auction product, b) expert evaluation information from the expert Expert estimated means 22 registered and stored in the auction DB 211, estimated in consideration of the price change of the recent sale price of other auction products having the same product classification and product characteristics of other auction products of the same author c) future forecast price The future price calculation means 23 for storing information in the auction DB 211 and providing the user to the auction, the auction to manage the auction progress and successful bids by providing the bidder information window of the auction product containing the auction product information and expert evaluation information Progress means 24, register the unfinished gift auction the artist is currently working on, and provide the bidder with an image or video of the work in progress and related text information Auction auction proceeding means (25) to perform the transfer of ownership when a successful bidder is determined, escrow means (26) to pay the seller with the consent of the successful bidder, and auction auction history information for auction items that are in progress or auction ends. When the user who stores the auction history providing means 27 stored in the auction DB 211 and provides the user with the information related to the auction items registered in the auction DB 211 registers the reverse auction application and the direct transaction application, the owner and the requesting user It comprises a trading transaction intermediary means 28 for brokering a trading transaction therebetween.

Detailed functions and operations of the individual components constituting the auction server 2 providing the transaction and history information including the auction of the works of art and rare goods will be described through the auction method of the works of art and rare goods described below.

<2. Method composition>

The auction system and the auction method for art and rare articles according to an embodiment of the present invention can be preferably realized through the construction of the system 1 described above.

The auction server 2 of the present invention registers the information of art and rare goods, and brokers auction, reverse auction and trading transactions online between the owner (seller) and the user (buyer), and registers in the auction DB 211 even after the transaction is completed. The history information of the transaction is continuously managed to provide an inquiry service of the current price and the future forecast price.

3 shows a schematic sequence of an auction method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The owner accesses the homepage 200 and registers a) auction item information including auction prices, product classifications, and product characteristics. The auction registration means 21 of the auction server 2 registers a) auction information from the user terminal 3 and stores it in the auction DB 211 (S21). On the other hand, the owner can register only the information of the artwork and rare objects owned by him, and can not apply for any transaction. In this case, the owner's goods information is inquired by other users, and vice versa.

When the owner's auction application is initiated, the expert evaluation means 22 selects at least one or more experts to evaluate the auction item and includes from the expert a value index for each of the valuation factors according to the artist, the workability, the evaluation opinion and the expert evaluation price. B) the expert evaluation information is registered and stored in the auction DB (211) (S22). The evaluation time of the expert may be carried out collectively every time the auction server 2 is requested for a trading transaction including an auction or every predetermined period (for example, twice a year). Expert evaluation information can be used to calculate current and future forecast prices for registered auctions. For this reason, it is possible to change the design by providing a professional evaluation service for a fee upon user's request.

Value indices are evaluated by experts from individual categories to determine the average index, and the average index determines the expert's valuation price. For example, the expert registers an individual value index and presents the corresponding valuation price to the expert when the average index is automatically calculated. The expert then re-enters the price that is automatically suggested or adjusts it.

In addition, once the auction items (articles and rare items to be traded) are registered in the auction DB 211, the future price calculation means 23 automatically calculates the future prediction price and stores the auction DB 211 (S23). The future price is automatically calculated in consideration of the value index evaluated by the expert, the price change of other auction items of the same artist, the classification of the same product, and the price change of the recent sale price of other auction items with product characteristics. The timing of calculating the future price would be desirable to synchronize with the timing of expert evaluation described above. In addition, the expert evaluation information and the future price information are displayed together with the calculation date and time so that the user can judge the reliability.

Once the owner has applied for an auction and the expert evaluation and future price prediction have been completed, the auction proceeding means 24 may, at the request of the bidders, determine that the auction product, including a) auction product information, b) expert evaluation information, and c) future price forecast information, is included. Provides a bid information window to manage the auction progress and successful bids (S24). If the auction item exists in the auction DB 211 and has a previous transaction history, d) auction history information may also be provided to the user. At the end of the auction period, a successful bidder is determined according to a predetermined bidding decision method, and the bidder's notification means (email and SMS) are inquired to notify the successful bidder and the settlement guide.

On the other hand, the owner can also register the unfinished work the artist is currently working on as an auction item. Gift auction proceeding means 25 receives the owner's consent information, the work progress image or video, the text information including the author's intention and the scheduled date and time to store in the auction DB 211 and proceeds the auction as described above And manages the successful bid (S25).

When the successful bidder is determined, the present invention mediates payment and delivery of goods by an escrow method. The escrow means 26 receives the goods price from the successful bidder, transfers the ownership to the successful bidder, and receives payment of the successful bid price from the successful bidder who has completed the transfer of ownership confirmation or the receipt of the goods (S26). Update the ownership information only if the auction item is displayed in a public place.

Further, the present invention continuously updates and manages the data stored in the auction DB 211 with respect to the auction items in progress or the auction ends and provides the user with the auction history information. The auction history providing means 27 stores the auction product history information including the sales history (including auction), the owner history, the exhibition place history, and the price history in the auction DB 211, and provides the auction product history information at the request of the user. (S27).

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an auction method is configured in which an owner starts for a user. On the other hand, in the present invention, a user may apply for a transaction for an owner. When the user who inquires the auction product registered in the auction DB 211 registers the reverse auction application and the direct transaction application, the trading transaction intermediation means 28 relays the user's application to the owner to mediate the trading transaction (S28).

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing history information of an auction item to a user in step S28 of FIG. 3.

The user requests auction history information on a product of interest in the process of inquiring data registered in the auction DB 211 on the homepage 200 regardless of whether the auction is in progress (S271).

The auction server 2 inquires the auction product information corresponding to the user's request from the auction DB 211 and provides past history information such as sale classification, ownership change date, sale price, owner, exhibition place and the like (S272).

Here, the past sale price is displayed in parallel with the calculation date and the converted value converted into the current monetary value so that the user can estimate the current price (S273).

In addition, the user may determine the price trend by providing the current price and the future forecast price according to the value index for each price calculation element (S274). For example, the yearly graph provides a change in value index and price information.
