Description

SOIP terminal and price announcement system using the SOIP terminal {SOIP TERMINAL AND PRICE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM USING THE SOIP TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a SOIP terminal and a price announcement system using the SOIP terminal.

The price of a commodity is determined by the supply and demand, and then the price actually established in the market is called the market price.

Currently, the prices of goods in online marts can be checked in real time via the Internet. In addition, large-scale marts among offline marts operate shopping malls online, so it is easy to check the price of goods.

However, it is difficult to check the price of the merchandise of a retailer operated by small merchants, such as a traditional market, unless they visit the retailer directly.

Of course, while the government agencies provide the published price for a specific item collected on a specific period through an offline method such as a survey, the published price for each item is a statistical value of the collected product price, It is different from the price of goods.

Accordingly, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a SOIP terminal and a price disclosure system using the SOIP terminal for providing an accurate price disclosure service based on the product price information directly entered by merchants selling goods using the SOIP terminal. It is.

According to one aspect of the invention there is provided an SOIP terminal. The SOIP terminal includes a storage unit for storing a price announcement-only application for controlling input of price information for each item to be used for a price announcement service; A display unit for outputting a screen for guiding input of price information of goods sold by a user; An input unit for receiving price information of the article from a user; An execution unit which executes the price announcement-only application requested by a user, outputs the screen, and receives the price information; And a communication unit transmitting the price information for each item received by the execution unit to a web application server controlling a price-only application through a network.

In this case, the execution unit executes the price announcement-only application, accesses the web application server through the network, and outputs a web page including the plurality of price information input items received to the display unit.

According to another feature of the invention, a price disclosure system is provided. The system includes a web application server for receiving price information for sales items input by a user from at least one SOIP terminal having a price disclosure dedicated application for controlling input of price information for each item to be used for the price announcement service; And a DB server storing price information for each item received by the web application server and providing price information for each item in response to a request of an external server.

In this case, the web application server includes a receiving unit for receiving price information for each item from one or more SOIP (Service Over IP) terminal connected through a network; And one or more different data formats predefined for the price information for each item received by the receiver, wherein the one or more different data formats are selected from among types of outputable data formats of the terminal to receive the price information for each item. After conversion, the conversion unit for storing in the DB server.

In addition, the price announcement system, in conjunction with the DB server IPTV system for obtaining the price information for each SOIP terminal of the SOIP terminal from the DB server to provide the retail price and price information for each item through the IPTV menu, the DB server and A mobile system that obtains the price information of each SOIP terminal from the DB server by interworking to provide the retailer and the price disclosure information of the goods to the mobile and the DB server in conjunction with the DB server of the SOIP terminal The method may further include at least one system of a web service system for acquiring price information for each item and providing price information for each store and a store through a web page.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a system in which the published price of the market can be accessed in real time from the consumer's point of view.

In addition, it is possible to induce market merchants to combine products with SOIP terminals and PSTN. As a result, ARPU will increase due to additional combined products and IPTV user satisfaction is expected to attract new customers and retain existing subscribers.

In addition, by providing close life services to smartphones and Internet users, it is expected to create added value through high customer satisfaction and maintain its own services of Internet service and wireless communication subscribers.

Here, the display unit 101 and the input unit 103 may be implemented in the form of a touch screen combined into one device.

The communication unit 105 has a wired network communication function and is connected to a web application server 310 of FIG. 1 through a network 200 of FIG. 1.

The communication unit 105 transmits price information for each item received from the input unit 103 to the web application server 310 through the network 200.

In addition, the communication unit 105 receives information necessary for the execution of the price announcement dedicated application from the web application server 310 and delivers it to the execution unit 107.

The execution unit 107 may install and drive various application programs. The execution unit 107 executes a price disclosure dedicated application pre-installed in the storage unit 109 so that price information of the product can be input, modified, deleted, and the like.

The execution unit 107 outputs, via the display unit 101, a price information input page including a plurality of price information input items provided by a price disclosure dedicated application.

In this case, the price announcement-only application includes a web browsing function, and the execution unit 107 drives a web browser to access the web application server 310 and includes a plurality of price information input items from the web application server 310. Receive a web page.

In addition, the execution unit 107 stores the price information for each item input from the input unit 103 for each input date and stores it in the storage unit 109, and then lists the price information for each item on the display unit 101 by the input date. Can be provided.

The storage unit 109 stores the price information for each item input by the user for each input date.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a web application server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the web application server 310 includes a receiver 311 and a converter 313.

Here, the receiver 311 is connected to one or more SOIP terminals 311 through the network (200 in FIG. 1). And it receives the price information for each item from one or more SOIP terminal 311.

The converter 313 converts the price information for each item received from the receiver 311 into one or more predefined data formats and stores the price information in the DB server 330.

In this case, the one or more different data formats are selected from the types of outputable data formats of the terminal (not shown) to receive price information for each item. For example, it may be a format executable in an IPTV set-top box, a format executable in a mobile terminal, or a web content format executable in a PC.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a SOIP terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and describes the operation of the components of FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 4, the execution unit 107 of the SOIP terminal (100 of FIGS. 1 and 2) provides a price information input item in the SOIP terminal menu through the display unit 101, thereby providing a user with price information through the input unit 103. In the case of selecting an input item (S101), the execution unit 107 executes an already installed price announcement dedicated application (S103).

In addition, the execution unit 107 outputs a price information input page provided by the price announcement-only application through the display unit 101 (S105).

When the price information is input through the input unit 103, the execution unit 107 transmits the received price information to the web application server 310 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 3) through the communication unit 105 (S107).
