METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR OPERATING GOODS INFORMATION ON COMMUNICATION NETWORK}

The present invention relates to a method, a system and a computer readable recording medium for operating commodity information on a communication network.

The commerce on the communication network, especially the computer communication network represented by the Internet, is being advanced and activated day by day. As a result, individual users are not only limited to conducting commerce on the telecommunication network, but also variously looking at information related to commerce (eg, information about products of interest to them). Representative examples of such product information may include a review (ie, a product review) (in some cases, a commercial review) written by an expert or a general user, or a review written by a user in association with the review. Ripple on the product itself, which in some cases may be a commercial ripple.

However, even though the user frequently refers to the product review and the ripple, the product information operation for the user has not been properly performed in most conventional seller sites where product information such as the product review is posted. For example, even if you visited a merchant blog and found a review that interests you, you have no choice but to copy its contents or deliberately store its location identifier (eg, a URL).

The above conventional problems are Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0362773 (name of the invention: product information service method through the Internet) or 10-0801221 (name of the invention: product information providing system and product information provision of the Internet shopping mall Even if the technical configuration of the method) is adopted, it is of a nature that cannot be fundamentally improved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve all the problems of the prior art described above.

It is another object of the present invention to provide product information such as product reviews and ripple in a user friendly manner.

Another object of the present invention is to support the promotion of commerce by actively spreading and sharing product information in various user spaces.

In order to accomplish the above object, a representative structure of the present invention is as follows.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for operating product information on a communication network, wherein when a user selects product information on a seller's site, the identification information of the user and the selection of the product information are received from a terminal of the seller. Receiving information, determining product information content or product information location identifier for update based on the selection information, and updating the product information content or product information location identifier into the user's space A method is provided that includes providing a step.

In addition to this, another method for implementing the present invention, another system, and a computer-readable recording medium for recording a computer program for executing the method are further provided.

According to the present invention, product information such as product review and ripple is provided in a user friendly manner.

According to the present invention, product information is actively spread and shared in various user spaces to facilitate commerce.
