3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining a sale condition of an item according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The item selection unit 220 may select a candidate item to receive the desired selling condition from the potential customer (S310). The candidate item may be an item stored in the sales condition determination apparatus 200 or may be an item generated by reflecting the opinion of the potential consumer. For example, when the candidate item is a performance, an artist, a performance time, a performance place, and the like can be determined by a specific potential consumer. The candidate item may be mapped with an identifier capable of identifying the candidate item.

The threshold value determination unit 230 may determine a registration threshold value for the selected candidate item (S320). The minimum threshold for the candidate item to be converted to a registered item may include a quantity threshold value, a value threshold value, and the like. The registered item is an item in which the value of the item and the usable quantity of the item are determined, unlike the candidate item, and is an item registered in the sales condition determination apparatus 200. The value of the item may be a selling price of the item, but may be a selling price of the item or a reference value for determining a bid price range of the item. The threshold value determination unit 230 may determine the registration threshold value using the value set by the supplier or may set the registration threshold value to a value set by itself. When the registration threshold value is determined, the threshold value determination unit 230 may associate the determined registration threshold value with the candidate item.

The query providing unit 240 may provide a sales condition query for the candidate item (S330). The sales condition query may include at least one of a desired value of the candidate item and a desired usage quantity. The desired value of the candidate item refers to a numerical value indicating the value of the item that the potential consumer hopes or reasonably thinks, and the desired use quantity refers to the quantity of the item that the potential consumer uses or wants to purchase. The query providing unit 240 may directly transmit the sales condition query to the potential customer terminal 100 or may provide the sales condition query to the potential customer terminal 100 connected through a specific site or application. The sales condition query may be provided in the form of a specific template.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a query provided in the form of a template related to an embodiment of the present invention.

The template has a response time limit for the query. 4 (a) is a query template provided at the earliest, and FIG. 4 (b) is a diagram showing a query template changed as the deadline approaches.

As shown in the figure, the query providing unit 240 may change the color or shape of the template according to a time limit for inputting a query. By providing this, you can let potential customers know that there is not much time left to write a response to the query.

Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the query providing unit 240 may deactivate or extinguish the sales condition query provided when the deadline comes without a response of the potential customer.

The receiving unit 250 may receive the respective responses to the sales condition query from the plurality of potential customer terminals 100 (S340). The response of each of the received plurality of potential users may include a desired value of the candidate item and a desired use amount of the candidate item. In this case, the response of the potential consumer may include identification information of the potential consumer describing the corresponding response, or may be mapped to the identification information of the potential consumer.

The item registering unit 260 may determine whether to change the candidate item to a registered item by comparing a response result of the received plurality of potential customers with a predetermined registration threshold value.

The item registration unit 260 may calculate the statistical value of the received response result. The item registration unit 260 may calculate an average value of the desired values of the registered items included in the responses received from the plurality of potential user terminals 100 and calculate the total sum of the desired usage quantities included in the response.

The item registering unit 260 may compare the average value of the calculated desired value with the value threshold value. As a result of comparison, if the average value of the calculated desired value is less than the value threshold value, the item registration unit 260 ends the selling condition determination procedure of the candidate item. If the average value of the calculated desired value is greater than or equal to the value threshold value, The item can be changed to a registered item (S350, S360).

In a similar manner, the item registering unit 260 can compare the total sum of the calculated desired usage quantities with the quantity threshold value. As a result of comparison, when the total sum of the calculated desired usage quantities is less than the quantity threshold value, the item registration unit 260 terminates the selling condition determination procedure of the candidate item, and if the total sum of the calculated desired usage quantities is not less than the quantity threshold value , The candidate item may be changed to a registered item (S350, S360).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when both the value threshold value and the quantity threshold value are satisfied, the candidate item is changed to a registered item. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

If the candidate item is changed to a registered item, the item registration unit 260 can determine the value and the available quantity of the registered item (S370).

The item registering unit 260 can determine the average value of the calculated desired value, which is the calculated statistical value, as the value of the registered item, and determine the total sum of the calculated desired usage quantities as the available quantity of the item.

However, in the case of a large number of items, it may not be reasonable to use the statistical values calculated as above. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the value of the registered item and the available quantity can be determined by modifying the calculated statistical value.
