Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for interworking data using a virtual telephone number,

Shopping mall, courier, interlocking, waybill number

In general, a shopping mall in a shopping mall is operated by a method in which a seller downloads an order, receives it in a courier service, prints a delivery note, and then delivers the delivery note number to the shopping mall after delivery.

However, there are only a few cases where the wrong waybill number is entered in the shopping mall due to the intention or mistake of the seller, so the shopping mall is attempting to interwork with the express delivery company to receive the delivery number and delivery information directly from the delivery company.

In order to do this, information that can identify each order, such as an order number, must be shared by the shopping mall and the express delivery company, and the seller must upload the identification information to the express delivery company.

However, the seller uploads information such as the recipient name, phone number, address, etc. necessary for the delivery to the courier, but this information is difficult to use as the identification information, and the other information is processed differently by each seller, It is difficult to interlock.

In the present invention, a virtual telephone number capable of identifying each order is issued in a shopping mall. When a seller receives an order containing a virtual telephone number in the same manner as the conventional one and receives it at the delivery company, The present invention relates to a method of interlocking using a number.

According to the present invention, the seller can work in the same manner as before, and data can be easily interlinked between the shopping mall and the courier.

1 is an illustration of a configuration diagram according to the present invention.
2 is an illustration of a configuration diagram of a virtual telephone number issuing system.

When a seller downloads an order from a shopping mall and uploads it to a courier, the recipient's name, address, and phone number must be uploaded for delivery.

The remaining information may not be uploaded because it is not absolutely necessary for delivery, and may be processed by the seller's needs.

Among the required information, most names or addresses are common to home or business, so they can not be assigned as individuals, and can be modified by spacing.

Among the necessary information, the telephone number is a general telephone and a mobile telephone. Since most of the ordinary telephone is commonly used by a home or a company, it can not be said that an individual is designated, and only a mobile phone designates an individual.

However, when one person places an order several times in one shopping mall, when a plurality of goods are purchased at the same time, if the same person orders another shopping mall, each order must be distinguished. Is the same for the same recipient, so it is difficult to use it as information for identifying each order.

The present invention relates to a method of issuing a virtual telephone number capable of identifying each order and interworking with a virtual telephone number between a shopping mall and a courier.

At this time, the virtual telephone number can be identified by using a specific number such as 090-XXXX-XXXX or the like, which is a telephone number which can not be actually used.

For the present invention

A virtual phone number server that allocates a virtual phone number band for each shopping mall

A shopping mall server that gives a virtual phone number for each order and works with a courier server

A server for separating a shopping mall from a virtual telephone number and interworking with a shopping mall

.

First, each shopping mall is assigned a virtual phone number band to be used by a virtual phone number server.

The virtual phone number server allocates a bandwidth to a corresponding shopping mall according to a request of each shopping mall, and stores information such as an ID or code of the shopping mall, an allocated bandwidth, and a linked URL of the corresponding shopping mall.

Each service provider retrieves the virtual phone number band and the interworking URL from each virtual shopping mall from the virtual phone number server.

At this time, the virtual phone number server can check the information such as the IP address of the computer that requested the inquiry in order to provide information only to the authorized courier.

In addition, the virtual phone number server stores information such as a courier IP address, and provides the coupon information to the shopping mall at the request of the shopping mall, so that information can be exchanged only with the courier service permitted in the shopping mall.

The following process will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In step 1, the shopping mall assigns one of the virtual telephone numbers that are not currently in use within the allocated band to each order, and changes the virtual telephone number to the in-use state.

Step 2, the seller will download the order from the shopping mall as before.

At this time, the shopping mall replaces one of the customer's ordinary telephone or mobile phone with a virtual telephone number and downloads the purchase order.

One of the recipient phone numbers downloaded by the seller is a number that can not be actually called, but the other one is a normal phone number that can be used for the actual call. Also, since the majority of the caller and recipient match, There is no problem in talking to the customer.

For the sake of the convenience of the contractor, the general telephone is changed to the virtual telephone number as much as possible.

Step 3, the seller arranges the order, accepts it to the courier, and prints the waybill.

At this time, the shopping mall server and the express delivery server interlock with each other as follows.

In step 3-1, the courier server issues a COD number, confirms the shopping mall from the virtual phone number, and transmits the virtual phone number and the COD number to the corresponding shopping mall.

In step 3-2, the shopping mall server retrieves the order using the virtual telephone number and stores the transportation number for the corresponding order.

At this time, in order to prevent a case where a virtual telephone number is duplicated by mistake of another shopping mall and stores an incorrect waybill number, the delivery server server transmits other information besides the virtual telephone number, and the shopping mall server compares the virtual telephone number with other information And recognizes it as a normal virtual telephone number only if all of them match.

Of course, a shopping mall that entered a wrong virtual phone number will not be able to receive the waybill number for that virtual number, but this is a mistake in the shopping mall.

Step 3-3, the shopping mall sends the actual telephone number to the courier, and the courier receives and prints the actual telephone number.

Of course, in the courier service, there is no problem with shipping or CS even with only one phone number, so you can print only one phone number on the waybill, without changing the virtual phone number to a real phone number. It is also possible to send the information after printing the waybill without having to do so.

If the seller incorrectly accepts the purchase order, he / she receives the order again and executes step 3 again.

Thereafter, the delivery server transmits the delivery progress information to the shopping mall server using the virtual telephone number or the transportation number.

Step 4, When the delivery is completed, the shopping mall changes the virtual phone number to a state not in use so that it can be assigned to another order later.

The bandwidth used by each shopping mall may be changed. Since the time when the order is generated in the shopping mall and the time when the seller uploads the service to the courier may be different from each other, two or more shopping malls can give the same virtual phone number for a specific period, In this case, it is difficult to judge which shopping mall is ordered by the courier.

Therefore, when returning the band, the virtual phone number server does not allocate the band to another shopping mall for a certain period of time.

In order to shorten the interval between the issuance time of the virtual telephone number and the time of the seller's upload, it may be given at the time of payment by the customer instead of the time when the order is generated. In order to minimize the interval, You may.

In this case, when the used band is changed in the middle, each courier must share information with each shopping mall.

Also, every time an order is made, such as a security number, a virtual phone number server is requested by the shopping mall, and a virtual phone number server may issue a number.

At this time, the virtual phone number server stores the issued virtual phone number and shopping mall information, and each courier requests the virtual phone number server for each virtual phone number to confirm which mall is the order.

At the time when the delivery is completed, the shopping mall or the delivery server notifies the virtual phone number server that delivery of the order has been completed, and the virtual phone number server can assign the corresponding number to another request.

In the above description, the courier server has described the method of identifying the shopping mall from the virtual phone number. In contrast, the order data including the virtual phone number is transmitted to the courier in advance at the shopping mall, and the courier uses the virtual phone number The shopping mall can be identified by searching the transmitted data.

However, in order to do this, the courier needs space for storing the order data of the shopping mall.

In the above description, the courier server explained the method of transmitting the virtual phone number and the waybill number to the shopping mall. However, if the courier does not need to print the actual phone number for the virtual phone number, the virtual phone number is transmitted to the courier at the shopping mall, You can retrieve the waybill number after searching with the virtual phone number.

In recent years, protection of personal information has become a social issue, and it has been considered to provide the information only to the courier company which does not provide customer information, has thorough security, and necessarily requires customer information for delivery.

To do this, the shopping mall treats some or all of the customer's name or address as an asterisk (*) so that the customer can not identify the customer, and provides the information and the virtual phone number to the seller. When the seller uploads the purchase order, The customer information may be received from the shopping mall using the uploaded virtual phone number or may be retrieved from the data previously transmitted from the shopping mall to obtain the customer information.

Here, the method of replacing the telephone number is described in order to link the data between the shopping mall and the courier, but in addition to the telephone number format, various types of codes or codes may be issued.

However, in order to use it, the seller must upload the information to the courier service. Therefore, it is necessary to change the operation mode such as changing the data format uploaded to the courier service.

According to the present invention, the seller can work in the same manner as before, and data can be easily interlinked between the shopping mall and the courier.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention and various modifications and alterations are possible within the scope of the invention.

In addition, although the present invention has been described for a shopping mall and a courier, it is applicable to various fields in which data must be interlinked between three parties.
