Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wholesale transaction system,

The present invention relates to a wholesale transaction relay system, and more particularly, to a wholesale transaction relay system in which a transaction between an article supplier and a supplier is performed based on a price index.

The wholesale price index or the wholesale price index refers to the level of wholesale prices according to the selling price of wholesalers who directly deal with producers and can be used as an index to indicate changes in the price level. The wholesale index represents the price level for all goods and is calculated and published based on the time determined by the public agency. However, such a wholesale price index can represent the monetary flow of the entire trading society, but it is not for each commodity, so it is difficult for the supplier of a particular commodity to determine the commodity supply price based on such a wholesale price index. In addition, the wholesale price index can be different from the actual wholesale trading index of a specific commodity since it is provided to the suppliers located in different regions with different supply amounts. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the wholesale index determined on the basis of actual transaction for each product. And the wholesale index can be applied to various types of goods or intangible goods transactions.

Referring to FIG. 2, a demand analysis unit 211 is disposed for a demand analysis of an article, and a supply analysis unit 212 may be disposed for supply analysis of the article. The demand analysis unit 211 and the supply analysis unit 212 determine the articles to be analyzed and determine (i) transaction information for the articles, (ii) search information for the articles, and (iii) Can be analyzed. The transaction information for the article or the search information for the article may be obtained by various information sources, and for example, a big data analysis may be performed to obtain transaction information or search information. Information on the supply intention and the purchase intention can be obtained in the wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention. Specifically, the supply intention and the purchasing intention can be obtained from the direct inspection of the suppliers and buyers connected to the wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention, the number of users, the number of supply prices, or the number of purchase price offerings. When information on supply and demand is obtained by the demand analysis unit 211 and the supply analysis unit 212 in this manner, the region can be classified or analyzed by the region analysis unit 213 according to the obtained information. However, the regional analysis is intended to give a weight to the supply price or the purchase price and is not applied in the process of obtaining the price transition curve.

When the demand and supply information is obtained, the wholesale price index calculation unit 22 can calculate the wholesale price index. The wholesale price index is a relative value to the base year or base month, and the price trend curve currently being supplied by the wholesale price index can be made. The price trend curve means a curve indicating the fluctuation state of the wholesale price index for a certain period of time. Once the price transition curve is created, the supply price for the goods can be determined by the price determination unit 23 according to the amount of the goods currently being supplied to the wholesale transaction relay system. The supply price determined by the price determination unit 23 may be changed at regular intervals according to the supply level of the goods or the purchase request. The pricing unit 23 can generate the supply level and the purchase level linkage indicator and determine the supply price on a daily basis or a time basis according to the supply level and the purchase level linkage indicator. The supplier can determine the supply price based on the supply price or the price transition curve determined by the price determination unit 23 and supply the goods. The purchaser can also determine the purchase price in the same or similar way and request the purchase in the wholesale market described above. The matching price can be determined by the matching unit to match the purchase price and the transaction can be made by the wholesale relay platform.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a transaction in a wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a virtual account can be created in the wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention, and the goods transaction can be performed between the supplier and the purchaser according to the virtual account. To this end, a wholesale management server (41) is installed in a wholesale distribution platform of the wholesale transaction relay system so that transactions between the supplier and the purchaser can be processed by the virtual account. When the purchase request of the buyer is received by the buyer request unit 42, it can be confirmed whether or not there is a virtual account of the buyer and the supplier in the platform virtual account unit 43. If there is no virtual account of the buyer or the supplier, A virtual account can be created. When a virtual account of the buyer and the supplier is created, the purchasing request of the buyer is transmitted to the transaction approval unit 44 so that the approval of the transaction can be determined. Acceptance of the transaction means approval of the buyer's purchase. If the buyer's account is not at a level that allows the purchase, the transaction admission unit 44 must decide whether to close the transaction according to the purchase request. If the buyer's credit is insufficient compared to the current purchase request, the transaction admission unit 44 may inform the buyer and decide whether to supplement it with an alternative means. An alternative means, for example, a buyer providing credit, collateral or substitute through a trading relationship by a wholesale trading system. The supply of substitute means, for example, supplementing with sales of the goods if the purchaser is supplying goods different from the goods requested for purchase. If the insufficient credit is not supplemented by such alternative means, the application for purchase may be suspended. When the purchase request is approved by the transaction approval unit 44, payment approval is transmitted from the platform virtual account 43 to the supplier settlement unit 46, and payment can be made to the supplier account. The transaction approval unit 44 can then send approval of the purchase request to the delivery processing unit 47. The delivery processing unit 47 can confirm delivery to the supplier and send it to the completion confirmation unit 48. [ If the receipt of the goods by the buyer is confirmed by the completion confirmation unit 48, it can be transmitted to the credit settlement unit 45. The credit settlement unit 45 may finally settle the virtual account of the buyer and the virtual account of the provider and store it.

In the wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention, the purchase request and the settlement can be performed by various methods, and the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a transaction method by the wholesale transaction relay system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a method of relaying a wholesale transaction between a supplier and a purchaser includes receiving a purchase request and a sales request at a transaction server (P511, P512); A step in which a price index transition is made (P52); A step (P53) in which the supply price is determined based on the price index transition and the goods are retrieved according to the purchase request; A step (P54) in which the article is identified according to the search result; A step of confirming the virtual account of the supplier and the purchaser when the purchase item is confirmed (P55); A step (P56) in which the buyer's limit range is confirmed; (P57) if the virtual account of the buyer is within the available range; And a step (P58) of transmitting a credit processing result according to the purchase if receipt is confirmed according to the delivery request. The wholesale transaction relaying method according to the present invention can be performed in a wholesale relay platform installed in a computer server. The wholesale relay platform can be operated by a pre-installed program, and the supplier or purchaser can access the wholesale relay platform through a network such as the Internet to supply goods or make purchase requests (P511, P512).

Price index trends can be made by supply information and demand information. Once the price index trend is generated (P52), the supply price can be determined and provided to the wholesale relay platform accordingly. The purchaser can also make a purchase request by presenting the purchase price based on the price transition curve. When a purchase request is received by the buyer, the goods having a supply price suitable for the purchase price can be searched (P53). If the item is not confirmed (NO), the buyer is provided with the supply information (P541) and the purchase request can be made again (P511). On the other hand, if an item corresponding to the purchase request is found (YES), the virtual account of the supplier or buyer can be confirmed (P55). The virtual account of the supplier can be created in advance, and the buyer's virtual account can be created in advance or created at the buyer's request. If the buyer's virtual account is not within the limit (NO), it may be determined whether the buyer is able to purchase by credit evaluation (P561). On the other hand, if the buyer's virtual account is within the limit of purchase (YES), the purchase is made and the delivery request can be made to the supplier accordingly (P57). Thereafter, the credit processing result is transmitted to the wholesale relay platform, whereby the purchase price can be transferred to the virtual account of the supplier. The results of the transactions can also be stored in the wholesale relay platform.

The wholesale transaction relay of the goods can be done in various ways, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown.
