Here, the cyclic structure means that when the wrong or distorted information or evaluation is uploaded, such distorted information or evaluation is recognized as an error by evaluation or review thereof and by comparison with most normal information or evaluation. It is a structure that can reduce the influence of the user by lowering the rating of the user who uploaded the wrong information.

In other words, there are various traditional methods of evaluating products and services, such as blogging, usage, experiences, and ratings.However, these may be referred to when shopping. Since it is not proven, it is insufficient to provide practical help to consumers.

However, the present invention allows the evaluation of products and services by actual buyers who purchase the actual products or use the services, and the sellers distort or manipulate user evaluations using viral marketing or evaluation marketing techniques (such as comment manipulation). There can be no room for this, and basically it is possible to increase the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation information.

In addition, if the purchase and evaluation of the product or service is continuously made, the biased evaluation or the wrong evaluation may be distinguished, and thus may be removed from the database of the service providing server. In addition, the present invention may allow certain penalties to be imposed on buyers who have provided such an incorrect rating.

As described above, the present invention allows the buyers to compare and share the information posted by the buyers and to allow the actual buyers to evaluate the product, thereby preventing the sale of the goods or services from being exaggerated, exaggerated or unfair competition. To ensure fair competition as a quality of service.

In addition, when a user actually makes a purchase after making a purchase decision or registers a product of interest, and uploads a purchase price to a service providing server, the corresponding spending contents are linked to a service providing server that is linked to an account book app, which is one of the service apps running in an app terminal. Stored. Therefore, when the user views the household book app on the app terminal, the user can view the purchase history (product name, purchase date, purchase price, etc.) purchased by the user through the above process. This function is described again in the description of the app interworking function service.

A third feature of the purchase service is to provide an automatic alarm service when the user is uploaded to the service providing server and the user is located in an offline store where the product can be purchased.

That is, as shown in Figure 7, when the purchaser registers the product of interest (S601, S602, S603), the user's location is tracked by the service app that provides the purchase service, the purchaser sells the product If it is determined that access to the offline store (S604), the alarm function operates by text or voice via the app terminal by the service app (S605). Therefore, after checking the alarm, the user can visit the corresponding offline store to view or purchase the product.

In addition, the purchase service may provide information about a store where the user purchased the product and a purchase price through an app terminal when a purchase activity by another user occurs with respect to the product uploaded by the user as a product of interest.

A fourth feature of the purchase service is that if a user uploads a product of interest to the service providing server, and there are users who want to purchase the same product, these users can conveniently select a joint purchase.

For example, the service providing server may form a community with people who want to purchase a similar type of product or service when the purchaser registers a product or service of interest as shown in FIG. 7 (S601, 602). If (S606, S607), if the community members apply for joint purchase (S608, S609), a number of sellers can be offered to the community (S612). On the other hand, the community members after confirming the price information proposed by the seller (S610), finally to determine the purchase (S611).

On the other hand, the conventional reverse auction method is a method in which one buyer receives a sale proposal from a plurality of sellers for a predetermined period of time, and then decides to purchase the seller who presented the desired conditions. It has the advantage that you do not have to go to several places in order to do it. However, since one buyer makes a purchase by himself, the purchase price of a product or service may be relatively expensive.

In addition, the conventional co-purchasing method is a method in which a buyer or a broker collects buyers by setting the quantity, price, and duration of the seller and the product or service, and the buyer can purchase the product at a lower price than the purchase alone. It has the advantage that it has the inconvenience of having to check the joint purchase events one by one and wait for a certain number of people.

On the other hand, the joint purchase method provided by the fourth characteristic of the purchase service is that the buyers are naturally gathered, so that the seller can sell a large amount of goods or services, so that a lower price than the reverse auction may be offered. In this case, the buyer does not have to deliberately look for a joint purchase, and does not have to wait for a long time, and as a result, a number of buyers can see the effect of the joint purchase.

That is, in the joint purchase method provided through the fourth feature of the purchase service, when a purchaser registers a desired product in a shopping cart or a product of interest, the service providing server uses information of users who want to purchase the same product. It allows you to form communities automatically, and provides sellers with information about these communities. Here, the sellers may propose a desired selling price by referring to the number of members and the desired purchase price of the community, and the community members may finally make a joint purchase with reference to a price proposed by a plurality of sellers. Therefore, the purchasers can purchase the product at a lower price by the actual joint purchase without additional efforts for the joint purchase.

8 and 9 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a selling service among services provided according to the shopping information providing method according to the present invention.

Among the services provided by the shopping information providing method according to the present invention, a selling service is a service that allows a seller who wants to sell a product to sell a product through a service providing server.

The first feature of the sales service is that it is possible to make it easier for the suppliers who actually supply the goods to sell the goods through the service providing server. In this case, the present invention may allow a seller who sells a product through an offline store to register his or her offline store with a service providing server, and then promote his or her offline store to users. Such offline stores registered in the service providing server are called offline affiliated stores. In addition, the present invention does not only allow the seller to simply promote their own offline store through the offline affiliated store, but also allows offline operators to do online business in a convenient manner, and to maximize the efficiency of advertising. have.

The service providing server provides a space for registering shops, products, and services for shopping. Unlike the information accumulated in the service providing server for providing information, it has a shopping mall for shopping and sale.

The difference between an online affiliated store implemented in a service providing server and a conventional online store is that an online affiliated store has the convenience of registration, can provide fair and objective information, and can provide various additional services. .

In order to open an online store in a conventional manner, a seller has many tasks to secure a domain, a web hosting service contract, a homepage, a product registration, a payment system linkage, a shipper linkage, a bulletin board opening and management, etc. Although it was difficult to take a long time, in the present invention, by providing an easy and simple platform, it is possible to register a store, a product, or a service by simply inputting simple information into a given item. That is, the present invention has a feature that allows users to continuously update various information related to products or services through a simple platform.

On the other hand, it is possible to register a product easily in a conventional online store, but the conventional online store only provides a marketplace for selling the product, but is concerned with the details such as the quality of the product, whether the price is appropriate, and whether the advertisement is exaggerated. Instead, they are in charge of the seller, and accordingly, many complaints and damages of consumers are occurring. In addition, not only this, but also complaints or poor evaluations posted on the bulletin board by the consumer, the seller randomly deletes, even if the situation is not accurate and fair information can not be provided to the consumer is one of the problems.

However, the present invention provides fair and reliable information on shops, goods, and services in a shopping space based on various objective information established in a service providing server, and provides an objective dispute resolution method and procedure between a seller and a consumer. A reasonable evaluation is made possible. In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the seller cannot arbitrarily delete the consumer's evaluation.

For example, after registering as an online affiliated store in a service providing server, when a seller registers products and services, sales and purchase of the corresponding products and services are possible.

To this end, the seller has to make a sales agent contract with the administrator of the service providing server as shown in FIG. 8 (S701), and the buyer searches for the product using a search service or a purchase service provided by the service app of the app terminal. Compare and make a reasonable purchase decision (S702).

In other words, the sales service provided by the present invention is characterized by allowing a seller to open an online affiliate store by a simple method of inputting items required by a service providing server through a service app provided through an app terminal. As having, the actual sales method and payment method (S703, S704, S705) may be applied to the online trading method currently used.

In detail, the online merchant store registration method, which is the first feature of the sales service, may be automatically linked with location based services (LBS) and the web when a seller registers a business information through a service app of an app terminal. In the case of travel / director / turnover, the user can provide a method of storing or verifying business contacts within a radius through a search service or a local information service.

In addition, the online merchant store registration method, the seller can freely set the administrator account, events, discounts, coupons, reservation settings through the service app, and when the user registers the planned purchase of the product, by promoting and suggesting, the seller jointly purchased You can also ask them to suggest a purchase price.

On the other hand, the present invention in order to ensure the safe and smooth sales and purchase behavior between the seller and the buyer, the buyer who actually purchased the product through the evaluation and verification system provided by the search service or purchase service to the product The fair evaluation is made so that buyers can refer to the contents and make shopping more rational and efficient.

The second feature of the sales service is that a buyer who purchases a product from a seller becomes a seller who sells the same kind of merchandise (called a seller after purchase) that sells the product through a service providing server. You can do that.

For example, when a buyer purchases a product through an online affiliated store, the buyer who is satisfied with the purchased product may request the seller registration service through the seller service as shown in FIG. 9 (S711). If the seller request is approved, it may be a post-purchase seller who sells the product through the service providing server. That is, if a purchase is requested from another user through an online affiliate store opened by the seller after purchase (S712), another user pays the price to the service providing server according to a general payment method (S713), and provides a service. The seller (supplier) according to the request of the server delivers the corresponding product to another user (S714). When the delivery is completed, the service providing server pays a fee to the supplier after limiting the fee in the selling price (S715), and also pays a certain fee to the seller after the purchase (S716).

The reason why the present invention breaks down the boundary between the buyer and the seller is to utilize and share the time, effort, and knowledge invested in purchasing the product.

In other words, the buyer would have collected a lot of information about the product until the first purchase. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to allow such a buyer to sell the product, thereby sharing information that he knows about the product with other users.

On the other hand, after the purchase, the seller may receive the sales fee as described above according to the fee rate by grade, and may receive the sales fee even when the user directly purchases the same product again. This method will increase user loyalty and increase reliability by allowing real buyers to compare and share the information posted.

Another effect is that an optimized online affiliate store for each group can be organized by end users (eg pregnant women, economic strength, hobbies, age, gender, etc.).

In addition, according to the present invention false through a process in which the evaluation of the users for quality control is continuously made. Exaggerated advertisements, illegal advertisements, etc. may be automatically dismissed (e.g. penalties).

In addition, the method as described above may provide additional discount (revenue share) benefit for goods / services that the seller continuously purchases after purchase, and is combined with an evaluation and management system to retire the quality control, false, and exaggerated advertisements. (Reliability) and by allowing the seller to provide their purchase information about the product after purchase, to share the time, effort, and information invested by the seller after the purchase for the product (quality of information). Can be.

In addition, the method as described above can build a customized online affiliated store (convenience) optimized for age, gender, region, economic strength, education level, etc., so that only those who have a competitive edge and credibility survive (quality control). It has the feature of being able to.

In addition, the method as described above may reduce (price) the purchase price through reducing the marketing cost of the supplier, and may provide buyers with a profit distribution (revenue) differentiated from conventional points, mileage, and advertising revenue. Has characteristics.

In other words, the second feature of the purchase service is the post-purchase method, which allows the buyer to sell the purchased product or service, which provides the community with the time, effort and information invested by the buyer in making a purchase decision. Is a reward system for sharing.

In addition, the method, combined with an evaluation / validation system, receives continuous feedback, resulting in fewer and fewer online merchants offering illegal, fraudulent, or exaggerated advertisements. In addition, the introduction of fee incentive schemes by rating levels can be rewarded for ongoing efforts.

An additional net function is that various customized shopping malls can be configured according to seller's economic power, education level, region, hobbies, and occupation, which is a service that existing open market, E-commerce, and social commerce companies cannot provide.

10 is an exemplary view for explaining a local information providing service among services provided according to the shopping information providing method according to the present invention.

Among the services provided by the shopping information providing method according to the present invention, the local information providing service provides information that is constructed by users who are familiar with the situation of the region to another user who does not know the region. It is a service to make.

For example, A moved from Apgujeong-dong to Yeonhui-dong (S801). A does not know local information about the new location. At this time, after executing the service app in the app terminal (S802), using the local information providing service provided by the service app, the local residents most satisfied with the businesses, local residents most frequently used companies, the region Information on companies that provide the most reasonable price / service / product can be found in (S803 to S805). In this case, the app terminal may automatically determine the location of the user and provide the corresponding local information. In addition, the user may simply check the company information through the app terminal, may download the corresponding information to the app terminal, and store the phone number of the corresponding stores in the app terminal.

Meanwhile, the local information as described above is information provided from a database constructed by using price information inputted by real buyers through the search service or purchase service described above.

Therefore, the local information provided by the present invention is a result of updating the information continuously evaluated by the users using the present invention, thereby ensuring reliability.

On the contrary, currently used local information providing services are limited to information that can be accessed through local information sheets or stickers, and such information is a seller's one-sided advertisement, and thus has a disadvantage in that the user cannot make a comparison selection. . In other words, only local residents knew the exact evaluation of goods or services offered by offline businesses. Such assessment information is not shared. In addition, offline business information provided by social commerce is limited to one-offs, and evaluation data on products or services is difficult to confirm. In addition, the information that can be obtained through online personal blog, restaurant information, etc. has not secured the objective credibility.

However, the regional information providing service provided in the present invention as described above, by providing an accurate information to the actual buyers by sharing the evaluation data, such as statistical data, satisfaction, etc. used by people in the area when moving, turnover, travel. It has the characteristic that it is.

In addition, since the information provided by the local information providing service is information that has passed the filtering process for the information continuously uploaded to the service providing server, it is possible to provide more accurate information to the user.

11 and 12 are exemplary views for explaining an app linking function service among services provided according to the shopping information providing method according to the present invention.

Among the services provided by the shopping information providing method according to the present invention, the app interworking function is a function of allowing various service apps to share information stored in the service providing server.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user is refueling at the gas station, the store (gas station name, location, etc.), merchandise (petrol, diesel, etc.), quantity (liter) through the car account book app executed in the app terminal. ), If the corresponding information such as price (payment amount) is entered (S911), the car book book app transmits it to the service providing server (S912).

The service providing server, which has received fueling information from the subsidiary book app, stores it in a database, and sends various statistical data such as fuel consumption or average fuel consumption by period by combining the newly stored information with the existing information (S913). Therefore, the present invention has a feature that a user can induce a wise consumption by comparing and evaluating his or her own with statistical data such as average fuel economy of other users.

In addition, if the household book app exists in the user's app terminal, the service providing server transmits the corresponding fuel expenditure information to the household book app (S914), so that the fuel item can be automatically updated in the consumption item of the household book app (S915). .

However, this is what happens when the user launches the household budget app. That is, the fueling expenditure information as described above stored in the service providing server through the subsidiary book app is transmitted to the app terminal when the user executes the household book app is output through the account book app.

In addition to the above examples, various types of service apps may be linked to each other by sharing the respective information through the service providing server.

In other words, service apps running in an app terminal are basically linked with a service providing server, and are configured to be linked with each other.

In detail, the service app mounted on the app terminal may be, for example, several household app, car book app, eating out app, travel app, shopping app, etc., each of which is a useful app and at the same time Collected information can be shared with each other through the service providing server.

The more diverse these service apps, the greater the amount of information about the user's various consumption behaviors are accumulated in the service providing server, and thus the service providing server can provide more useful and accurate services.

On the other hand, these service apps each have an independent function, but also consists of a structure that interoperates with each other.

Hereinafter, various services provided by the shopping information providing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 12, that is, a search service S500, a purchase service S600, a sales service S700, and a local information providing service S800. ) And app linkage function service (S900) will be briefly described comprehensively.

That is, a user visits an offline store (S921), browses store information through a search service provided by a shopping app (S500) (S924), inputs evaluation information about a store (S925), or checks product information. Or (S932), input the evaluation information on the product (S934), or input the purchase information (S935), or input the evaluation information on the purchased product (S936).

In addition, the user may purchase a product using the purchase service provided by the shopping app (S600) (S935).

In addition, a user may purchase a product using a purchase service, and then register as a seller after purchase using the sale service provided by the shopping app (S700) (S937, S938).

In addition, when the user visits an unknown region, the user may view store information by using the local information providing service provided by the shopping app (S800) (S924).

In addition, the shopping app provides the user with the purchase information (S967) or maintenance company evaluation information (S962) or real-time used car prices, average fuel consumption of the actual users, failure rate, recall-related information, etc. You can also check through the app interlocking function service (S900). That is, the present invention has a feature that the user does not search for information, but the information brings the user.

Similarly, a user may input information about various products by using a search service (S500) or a purchase service (S600) provided by the household book app after executing the household book app (S942 to S949). It can also be read through the search service (S500) of the shopping app using the app linkage function service (S900).

Similarly, the user can read or input various information related to the vehicle by using the chaperap app search service, purchase service, local information providing service, etc., the app interlocking function service ( It can be viewed through the search service (S500) of the shopping app using S900.

In other words, the shopping information providing method according to the present invention as described above, while storing a variety of information input through the service app of the app terminal in the service providing server, each service app is to store each information through the service providing server It has the feature that it can be used in conjunction.
