THE SAME GROUP OF SNS GROUP PURCHASE

How to jointly purchase SNS.

Nowadays, joint purchases linked to SNS sites are becoming popular.

SNS is short for Social Networking Service and refers to a service that can make an online relationship with an unspecified person. Users build new connections through SNS or strengthen their relationship with existing contacts. A typical example of an SNS site is Twitter or Facebook.

When a certain number of purchases of a certain quantity of a specific quantity of goods are requested for purchase from a joint purchase site, if an announcement is made that a joint purchase in which the goods are to be sold by applying a considerably large discount rate, an unspecified number of buyers may transmit a specific product , And participate in joint purchasing. Especially, when many buyers participate in joint purchase by encouraging mutual purchase of site members through SNS site such as Twitter or Facebook, it is called SNS joint purchase and also social commerce.

A typical example of such a joint purchase site is a group phone ( http://www.groupon.com ) in the United States and a ticket monster (http://www.ticketmonster.co.kr/) in Korea. There are numerous SNS joint purchase sites including ticket monsters in Korea alone, and all of them have jumped into a joint purchase business after seeing the success of the US group phone.

As the method of joint purchase of SNS is relatively simple and entry barriers are very low, competition among companies is very intense and many places are closed. Without special strategies, they all operate in almost the same form.

However, there is one major problem in the conventional SNS joint purchasing method.

 As shown in FIG. 1, there is only one purchase application price to which one discount rate is applied according to one purchase order quantity section, and joint purchase is proceeding.

SNS buyers who want to purchase a joint purchase of up to 50% can expect to buy at a discounted price. Most of the SNS joint purchase announcement is that it can be traded at a discounted price of about 50% when the purchase quantity of the schedule purchase request is applied, and so the transaction is done. As a matter of fact, the discount rate of 50% is almost no margin. It is a price that is not profitable unless a huge amount of money is traded.

In such a situation, if a joint purchase should proceed so that there is one purchase requisition quantity section and one purchase subscription price as in the conventional method , if an enormously large quantity that is not likely to be purchased is likely to be purchased, If the seller makes a joint purchase announcement, the buyer will be blamed, so that even if the seller does not purchase a large amount of water, he can trade at a discount of 50% It is a situation that needs to do. That is, in the conventional method, an excessively discount rate is applied compared to the quantity of the application for purchase . If such a situation, the purchase application quantity, even if that transaction is entered into to satisfy the disclosure condition 50% off the price of the margin, this amount rather than a large volume transactions by a little price (or see damage rates) Gross margin almost No (or will lose ) . In other words, the conventional joint purchase of SNS is not a strategy for large profits by peeling-off, but it is almost all the cases where a joint purchase is conducted for the purpose of promoting a business , and there is a problem in service quality Structure, and the seller can not frequently go through joint purchasing. And even if you do not want to sell a product that can not be discounted by 50% if you do not have a huge amount of water, or you do not want to sell it even if you discount it by 50%, you might even think that you will go through SNS joint purchase by this conventional method. There will be no number.

Let's take a closer look at the issue through a newspaper article.

Korea's Social Commerce First Place Ticket Monster Shin Hyun-sung's interview (2011.11.11) also indirectly shows the problems of conventional social commerce.

" 500 web sites (= social commerce companies ) have emerged like a bumblebee. Customer complaints about domestic social commerce services are growing. There are also a few places where you sell goods that fall in quality, or you close the door for a while. Timon is going to select the firm firmly this year, and to visit the site and educate. In the case of companies, there is a problem that when you sell goods through social shopping services, you need to raise the publicity effect as much as you think. These dealers will be creating new channels to communicate directly with customers. "

Looking at the interviews above, we are emphasizing only the publicity effect, and many benefits from peeling middlemen are not mentioned at all. However, there are many cases in which the promotion effect is insufficient. This is because it is often crowded with cheaper prices, or is often a guest of breeding. So, there are a lot of damages that have seen a lot of damages.

And, in the KBS 'consumer complaints' program ,

" Title: half discount coupon, service half price?

Social commerce that can use goods or services at a discounted price by joint purchase through the Internet! The social commerce site, which sells a variety of products such as food, performances, beauty and education, first appeared in Korea in March 2010. The social commerce market is growing rapidly, with coupon sales reaching about 60 billion won last year. Consumer damage cases are also increasing rapidly. If you visit a business with discount coupons purchased through social commerce, you will be treated differently from ordinary customers. Is it true?

A steak shop that I visited for confirmation. The crew divided the discount coupon guest team and general guest team into ordering the same menu. Plate of discount coupon guest team that looks worse than general guest team at a glance. I noticed that not only the amount of meat was different, but also the difference in overall menu. In addition, some social commerce companies were asking service providers to issue excessive coupons. These discount coupons do not allow consumers to receive proper service.

Consumer accusations covered the problem of 'social commerce' which can not receive service properly because of price discount.

In addition, there are articles expressing concern at the following Fair Trade Commission due to excessive discounts and operational problems of social commerce companies.

"As the social commerce side effects are deepening, the Fair Trade Commission has started to investigate the damage from August 8," an official of the FTC said, "We will take concrete measures against a number of companies nationwide, The FTC has issued a notice of consumer damage in connection with social commerce last November . "

In addition, there are more than 500 social commerce companies in Korea alone as of January 1, 2011, so it is expected that there will be at least 10,000 social commerce companies around the world. It can be said that it is the same as the group phone. So, in the press, it is said as follows.

"Social commerce rush, lack of strategy is a problem"

"There is a problem that there is no strategy other than preemption."

"If you add your own success factors, you can survive in the market."

And also it suggests a greater likelihood analysis Groupon step on the way of the online auction provider eBay. The online coupon business attracted a great deal of interest from consumers in the early days, but the popularity of Internet services is beginning to become popular .

It is argued that the method of the present invention is necessary in the above situation.

Now, as shown in FIG. 1, let's examine a problem of the conventional method in which a joint purchase is performed so that there is only one purchase application price with one discount rate according to one purchase order quantity section.

For example, as shown in Fig. 2 (or Fig. 4), for a product sold at a normal price, that is, a product for which a discount is not applied, Even if it is desired to carry out the joint purchase so that there are a plurality of purchase application prices with different discount rates applied to each of the plurality of purchase application quantity sections including the section,

The joint purchase is proceeding so that there is only one purchase application price to which one purchase order quantity section including the " 500 or more " section of FIG. 1 and one discount rate is applied.

Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the number of purchase requests for joint purchase was considerably large, about 490, and the purchase request quantity satisfying the discount rate of only about 30% instead of 50% discount rate was 350 (= 40 + 130 + 180), it failed to satisfy the minimum number of discounts applied in the joint purchase announcement such as 500 of FIG. 1, and 490 There are many cases where transactions are not successful.

As shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, which is described in detail as an embodiment of the method of the present invention, in a situation where 490 pieces of purchase application are requested for purchase, According to the method of the present invention, the number of purchase requests of 350 can be purchased. However, in the conventional method, one buyer can purchase the same And is giving too great an opportunity loss to buyers and sellers.

Now, there are a plurality of purchase application prices conventionally applied with different discount rates according to a plurality of purchase request quantity sections such as a section "over 150", a section "over 300", and a section "over 500" of FIG. 2 I will explain why I did not go through the joint purchase .

 It is assumed that a plurality of buyers obtain the disclosure information about the progress of the joint purchase as shown in FIG. 2, and a total of 470 purchase requests are purchased as shown in FIG. 3

Among each Conventionally, each buyer, if the bid price at the time of purchase application as long decided how much of the price or less without representations hagetdaneun execute a purchase, that is, a variety Purchase Request price in the joint purchase information disclosed, including two each The buyer did not select the purchase price of the level that he / she was satisfied with, but simply requested to purchase a lot of the purchase quantity by the lot of buyers .

Thus, conventionally, there arises a problem that the selling price can not be determined even though the total purchase request quantity is calculated after the joint purchase request is closed. Let's see why.

Since the total number of purchase requisitions (470) belongs to the "300 or more (= 300 ~ 499)" purchase quota sections in the joint purchase announcement, the winning bid price is determined to be 7,000 won for each 30% discount rate applied to 470 Once the settlement is complete, you will not have any problems, but you will not.

This is because the psychological state of each buyer who has applied for 470 purchases may be as shown in FIG. (FIG. 3 shows only the psychological state at the time of purchase application, not the fact that the purchasers have actually purchased their own purchase price and have not applied for purchase).

Referring to FIG. 3, among the 470 pieces of the total number of purchase requests, 180 pieces were purchased with a 50% discount applied at a price of 5,000 won per piece. As the winning price was determined to be 7,000 won per piece, 180 pieces This purchase is expected to be canceled.

Conventionally, since the buyer does not select his or her purchase price for each buyer at the time of purchase, in the actual situation, the seller or each buyer does not know that he / she analyzes the psychological state as shown in FIG. 3, It may be canceled. It is not until after the deadline for each buyer to express his intention to purchase or cancel the purchase at the winning price of 7,000 won per piece.

After expiration of the doctor's statement, the number of purchased 180 pieces of purchase requisition has been canceled with consideration of the purchase price of 5,000 won per piece. The remaining quantity is 290 (= 470-180) (= 150 ~ 299) in the purchase order quantity range, the bid price will be readjusted to 8,500 won with 15% discount rate.

(However, a buyer often does not readily accept the bid price adjustment because a buyer thinks that the bid price should be 7,000 won because 470 purchase order quantity is applied in the first place anyway. However, for the seller, the remaining purchase requisition quantity of 290 requires the winning bid price to be 8,500 won (the winning bid price is 7,000 won), the margins are too small to be sold at 7,000 won It is judged that it is possible to lose money, and it is too much that the co-purchasing becomes a thing which is not done this much.)

And, although it is actually very difficult to overcome this situation in online purchases that must be done quickly, even if agreed to overcome this situation,

The buyer who wants to purchase 290 quantities should collect his / her intention to buy or to cancel the purchase at a bid price of 8,500 won.

Once again, it is impossible, in fact, impossible to grasp the intentions of each buyer, but anyway,

 With the purchase price of 8,500 won for each of the 290 purchase requisitions from the beginning, the bid price of 8,500 won was accepted for 140 subscribers who applied for the purchase, and the purchase price of 150,000 won The number of purchases of the number of purchases is canceled, the remaining quantity becomes 140 (= 290-150), and 140 pieces are not included in the section of "150 or more (= 150 ~ 299)" in the joint purchase announcement, It is too much that it refuses to sell at 8,500 won with 15% discount rate. Therefore, there are many cases where it is impossible to make a joint purchase announcement such that a plurality of purchase request quantity sections exist as shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows that the number of purchase requisitions indicated by the seller is three, so it is only necessary to converge each buyer's intention to express the initial winning bid or the changed winning bid twice. In fact, it is virtually impossible to collect the two opinions, If the number of purchase requisitions is greater than the number of purchase requisitions, the number of times that a plurality of purchase requisitions are available is increased as the number of purchase requisitions is increased. Therefore, .

As shown in FIG. 2, in the case where the joint purchase announcement is made so that a plurality of purchase request quantity sections are included, and each purchaser makes a purchase purchase request without selecting a purchase requisition price at a level satisfactory to the buyer,

It is virtually impossible for each buyer to collect the intention to purchase or cancel the purchase at the initial winning price or the changed winning price several times over a number of times, Before a price is determined, it is impossible to imagine that each purchaser prepays the cost or purchase deposit that reflects the purchase price, which is the maximum amount that the buyer can pay for the purchase.

Therefore, in the US group phone, a joint purchase announcement in the form of only one purchase request quantity section and one purchase purchase price exists as shown in FIG. 1, and only a purchaser satisfying the one purchase purchase price participates in joint purchase, And the method of paying in advance before the winning bid price is decided by the price of the one purchase application.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present application, each buyer applies for purchase while expressing his / her own purchase price, The buyer who concluded the transaction and the buyer who did not close the transaction are divided into the buyer who has the transaction and the buyer who does not close the transaction when the successful bid price is determined and the successful bid price is determined by examining various factors including the accumulated cumulative quantity The buyer who has completed the transaction can purchase the product at the same price even though he has applied for the purchase at the different purchase application price. Therefore, if the user makes a payment in advance of part or all of the purchase application price, (Or more) than the amount of the purchased purchase cost It is possible to make transactions more efficient by taking various measures including urgency.

A plurality of purchasing application prices (discount rates) different from each other according to a plurality of purchase order quantity sections including "over 150", "over 300", and "over 500" sections of FIG. 2 It is important that the joint purchase can be made to exist. This is to solve the long-cherished wish of the seller . Even if the discount rate is not applied at all as shown in FIG. 4, the period of "less than 150" is also included.

In the SNS joint purchase, as shown in FIG. 2, the obstacles in the joint purchase process are removed by a reasonable method so that there are a plurality of purchase application prices with different discount rates applied to each of the plurality of purchase application quantity sections.

34. The method of claim 33,

And the additional discount is applied to determine the award award.

Successful bid price = A - B

A: The purchase price in the section where the total quantity of purchase is included

B: Additional discount amount = C * D / E

In the calculation for B,

C is a number obtained by subtracting the purchase price of the next section from the purchase price of the section in which the total purchase amount belongs to (the number of the purchase amount is larger) (or a number close thereto).

D is a number (or a number close to that) of the total purchase requisition minus the lower limit of the section to which the total purchase requisition belongs.

E is a number (or a number close to it) minus the lower limit of the section to which the total purchase request quantity belongs at the lower limit of the next section of the section to which the total purchase amount belongs.

(The numbers above may not be a fixed number but may be a number that can be arbitrarily adjusted by the merchant or site operator.)

35. The method according to any one of claims 21 to 34,

"Benefit" includes any one or more of the following items.

1. Lowering prices or prices.

2. Increasing discount rate or discount rate.

3. The addition of goods (= goods or services) or goods (= goods or services).

In the SNS joint purchase, a joint purchase is performed such that there are a plurality of purchase application prices to which a specific discount rate is applied for each of a plurality of purchase request quantity sections such as a section "over 150", a section "over 300" The thing that can be solved is the long-awaited desire of the sellers , and a reasonable bid price can be determined only when the total quantity of the purchase application is calculated in the joint purchase .

In this way, it is possible to reduce the opportunity loss, which has occurred in the past, to satisfy more buyers and more sellers, and to conclude transactions at a price with a low discount rate , so that sellers can obtain a proper margin Thus, the quality of the product can be improved , and the seller can frequently go through the joint purchase, so that the joint purchase, such as the joint purchase with the SNS, can be more activated .

Even if a joint purchase is made to include a purchase order quantity section in which a discount is not applied at all as in the section "less than 150" in FIG. 4, many buyers or sellers can be satisfied.

The above effects will be described in more detail as follows.

As shown in FIG. 8, when a plurality of purchase requisitions are available for a plurality of purchase requisition quantity sections such that a plurality of purchase requisition prices exist, If you declare that you can trade at a price, you can trade at a discounted price of 15 ~ 30% instead of a big quantity. If you tell a buyer that you have a 50% discounted price, Even if the seller is not satisfied with the complaint, even if the seller has made a purchase request with a small quantity, the price of the margins to which a small discount rate is applied is determined as the winning price, so that the seller can see a satisfactory total margin . Thus, the quality is not affected, and the seller can frequently make a joint purchase. If you look at the 30% discount and the 50% discount at the buyer's point of view, the price is only 20% difference. May be able to have a margin of ten times that of selling it. In FIG. 5, a discount rate of 15% is discounted for a quantity of 150 or more, a 30% discount for a quantity of 300 or more, and a discount of 50% for a quantity of 500 or more. However,

For the seller, as shown in FIG. 8, it may be a reasonable configuration if it is 15% discount for 150 or more quantity, 30% discount for 500 quantity or more, and 50% discount for 3000 quantity or more. According to the method of the present invention, the seller is 15% discount if the quantity is 150 or more, 30% discount if the quantity is 500 or more, 50% discount if the quantity is more than 3000, It is difficult to get a margin of 3000, but as for the seller, if it is more than 25 quantity, it is 15% discount. If it is more than 100 quantity, it is 30% discount. According to the method of the present invention, the seller is allowed to 15% discount if more than 25 quantity, 30% discount if more than 100 quantity, 50% discount if more than 500 quantity, A significant gross margins can be obtained and 500 quantities are difficult to apply for, but even so, a significant gross margins can be gained so that the seller can be satisfied Open, if only as a conventional method to disclose the joint purchase one purchase application rates according to one purchase application volume interval only to jonhae, when more than 3000 Quantity simply disclose that a 50% discount 3000 quantities yiraseo too large quantities, then I am afraid that it will not be concluded because the purchase quantity of purchase quantity is not applied and I will be able to deal with the goods at a discount of 50% Therefore, even if a transaction is made at a discounted price of 500 for the purchase of 500 units, there is no margin for sellers, which makes it difficult for sellers to satisfy the margin. Also, It is often the case that we can only expect the publicity effect to be achieved. And, in fact, most of the cases where the public relations effect is insufficient. This is because there are many people who chase only low prices.

In addition, although it has been activated so far that only the products in the service field are distributed as a joint purchase method of the social commerce method, the method of the present invention can enable the joint purchase of the commercial commerce method to be activated.

In fact, industrial products have a lot of material costs, and the margins are often from the beginning, so only a handful of industrial products can be sold at a discount rate of about 50%.

In such a case, various discount rates should be presented as in this method so that various types of industrial products can be distributed in a social commerce manner.

********** Definitions of Terms End.

 The embodiments will be described in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention.

It is obvious that it is possible to make commercial products, for example, food products such as food.

In some restaurants, stake A is usually sold for 10,000 won.

However, suppose that a joint purchase event was conducted for a stake of A in a joint purchase site.

Let's say that many buyers have reviewed the common purchase conditions as shown in FIG. 4 and then applied for joint purchase.

When applying for a joint purchase by the method according to the present invention,

 Each purchaser thinks that he or she will apply for a purchase by expressing his or her own purchase price and purchase quantity, which will be fulfilled at a certain price.

(Of course, it is also possible for each buyer to apply for a purchase while claiming to purchase more than one item when applying for a purchase.)

The purchase price for the buyer is the maximum price that the buyer can accept.

For example, if you apply for a purchase price of 7,000 won

If the bid price exceeds 7,000 won, I will not buy it,

If the bid price is less than 7,000 won, it means that you will fulfill your purchase.

Assume that the result of the application for purchase in the joint purchase announcement as shown in FIG. 4 is as shown in FIG. 5 below.

In the following, it should be understood that the number of items expressed in numbers also includes the number of countless service items including beauty salon service and nail management service. For example, even if the number of services is represented by a number, it is easy to understand the method of the present invention.

Although the embodiments described below are mainly described using numbers, it is obvious to anyone that the same principle is applied to products that require the number of users or the number of times, so that will not be described in detail.

 5,

A total of 490 items were purchased for joint purchase, among which 490 items

There were 40 applications for purchase price of 10,000 won,

There were 130 applications for purchase price of 8,500 won,

There were 180 applications for the purchase price of 7,000 won,

It can be seen that the number of applications for purchase of 140,000 pieces was purchased at a purchase price of 5,000 won.

Regardless of the number, it is unconditionally possible to purchase at a price of 10,000 won, which is a price that is not applied at all at a price discount. Therefore, the "satisfaction" column of the "less than 150"

(To be more specific,

If it is less than 150, it is announced that it will be supplied to the normal price of 10,000 won. The total of the number of applications requested for purchase at the purchase price of 10,000 won is 40, and the lower limit of the "quantity of purchase application section" It can be seen that the transaction can be concluded once at the normal price, so that the "satisfaction" column of the "less than 150" row in the "purchase request quantity section" column is "satisfactory".

If it is 150 or more, it is announced that it will be supplied at a price of 8,500 Won, which is a 15% discount rate. The total number of requested applications is 170 for the purchase price of more than 8,500 Won, and the lower limit of the " It can be understood that the transaction can be concluded at a discounted price of 15%. Therefore, in the column of " 150 or more (= 150 ~ 299) "ego,

If it is 300 or more, it is announced that it is supplied at a price of 7,000 won, which is a 30% discount. The total number of the requested number of applications is 350 for the purchase price of 7,000 won or more, and the lower limit of " It can be understood that the transaction can be concluded even with the 30% discount price. Therefore, the "satisfaction" column of "300 or more (= 300 to 499)" row of the " ego,

If it is 500 or more, it is announced that it will be supplied at a price of 5,000 won, which is a 50% discount. The total number of applications for purchase of 5,000 won or more is 490, which is the lower limit of the " It can be understood that the transaction can not be concluded at a discounted price of 50%. Therefore, the "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" in the column "over 500"

There are two ways to determine the winning price in the state described above.

In the first method,

The purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount corresponding to the purchase amount, The lowest purchase price is determined by the winning price .

The lowest price among the purchase application prices (10,000 won, 8,500 won, and 7,000 won) corresponding to the range of the purchase application quantity satisfying the "Satisfaction" column is the winning price.

In addition, 350 cumulative counts of the total number of applications for purchase at a purchase price of 7,000 won or more can be traded at the same price of 7,000 won.

In other words,

The purchaser who purchased the purchase price of 10,000 won will be able to purchase at 7,000 won,

The purchaser who purchased the purchase price of 8,500 won will be able to purchase at 7,000 won.

Of course, the purchaser who purchased the application at the purchase price of 7,000 won will be able to purchase it at 7,000 won.

I will say that I will be able to purchase, I will say that I will pass the purchase application, and I will also say that the purchase is concluded.

In addition, the purchase price of 140,000 pieces purchased at a purchase price of 5,000 won, which is less than the winning price of 7,000 won, becomes impossible to purchase. I can say that I will not be able to buy because I will not be able to purchase it.

If the buyer has paid for the purchase price reflecting the purchased purchase price considering the amount of the purchase application price multiplied by the purchase purchase price applied by the customer before the winning bid price is determined for each buyer at the time of purchase application,

The buyer who has become unavailable for purchase can refund the amount of money that he paid in advance at the time of applying for purchase and prevent the product from being supplied.

The purchaser who becomes available to purchase can refund an amount of money other than the purchase price (= the winning price multiplied by the purchase price) that reflects the winning price from the amount previously paid by the purchaser so that the product can be supplied.

To be more specific,

If you apply for a purchase price of 5,000 won, which is lower than the winning bid price of 7,000 won, you will be refunded 5,000 won for each of the 140 purchasers who have made a payment for 5,000 won in advance. Because it is not possible to purchase by applying for a purchase price lower than the winning price, it is to give back all the amount of money that we paid in advance.

The buyer who applied for the purchase of 7,000 won pre-paid for the purchase price of the purchase price of 7,000 won which is the same amount as the winning bid price is paid the difference of 7,000 won for the pre-paid amount and 7,000 won for the pre- 0 won is refunded, and the goods are supplied. In other words, if the difference between the winning price and the amount paid in advance is refunded for 0 yen, it means that there is no refund.

The purchase price of 8,500 won, which is higher than the winning price of 7,000 won, is applied to the purchaser who purchased the 130 pieces pre-paid for 8,500 won per piece. The difference between the two is 1,500 won per piece, and the goods are supplied.

The purchase price of 10,000 won, which is higher than the winning price of 7,000 won, is 10,000 won for each of the 40 pre-paid purchasers, and 10,000 won for the pre-paid amount and 7,000 won for the winning bid price 3,000 won is refunded, and the goods are supplied.

The second method is a slightly improved method of the first method,

A purchase amount corresponding to a section larger than the lower limit quantity of the purchase order quantity section condition (in which the winning price can be determined by the purchase purchase price) It is a method in which the specific price among the prices below the lowest purchase price of the application price is determined as the winning price.

In other words, it is a way to apply an additional discount at the winning price by the first method.

Extra discounting methods can be devised in a great variety of ways, that is, infinite number of ways.

As for the additional discount limit, the price after the additional discount is equal to or higher than the purchase application price corresponding to the next purchase order quantity section (toward the larger purchase order quantity) of the winning bid price by the first method Is recommended. In the following example, it is recommended that the additional discounted price be 5,000 won or more (if the first winning bid amount is greater than the winning bid amount) For example, if the total number of purchase requests is more than 500 in FIG. 5, there may be no additional discount or a separate additional discount method may be applied.)

To illustrate one of the various ways in which discounts are applied,

 According to the first method, a 30% discount applies for either 300 or 499,

According to the second method here, a discount of 30% is applied to 300 pieces and a discount of 49% is applied to 490 pieces.

So, even if a buyer applies for 7,000 won, if the total number of purchase requests reaches 490, 49% will be discounted and 5,100 won will be won.

To be more specific,

Successful bid price = A - B = 7,000-1,900 = 5,100 yen

In the winning price calculation formula,

A is the purchase price (= 7,000 won) in the section where the total number of purchase requests (490) belongs,

B is an additional discount (1,900 = 2,000 X 190/200).

In the calculation for B,

2,000 is the number obtained by subtracting 5,000 won from the purchase price of 790 won for the next segment (490 for the next segment).

190 is the total number of purchased applications (490) minus 300, which is the lower limit of 490 segments.

200 is the lower limit of the next section of the total number of purchase requisition (490), minus 300 which is the lower limit of the section where 490 is sold.

Those skilled in the art will be able to recall any further discounting methods different from the above-mentioned additional discounting methods in the above embodiments, so that another method will not be further described.

(Still, let me introduce another additional discount method,

Among the co-purchasers, for customers who apply for a lot of (for example, 20) quantities, the bid price is determined at a discount rate of a certain amount or a certain percentage or more from the purchase application price corresponding to the section including the total purchase request quantity Maybe,

The bid price may be determined based on the purchase application price corresponding to the next section with the larger number of purchase requests than the section including the total purchase request volume.

However, if the additional discount rate in this way is too large, the effect of discounting can be reduced by joint purchase among unspecified people. (5% extra discount is recommended, maximum 10% extra discount However, depending on your contribution, you may be able to offer additional discounts.)

When purchasing a large number of items, you can apply for a purchase with a specific ID. However, each buyer can also make you express that he or she is a person who promotes a joint purchase with a buyer of an ID.

If the seller permits, the cumulative number of purchases requested for purchase at the purchase price or the price of each purchase price, which is the winning price that is not available at the current cumulative purchase request quantity, The price may be determined as the winning price even if the price is less than the purchase application price corresponding to the section smaller than the lower limit quantity of the application quantity section condition.

And Facebook, a social networking company in the United States, already has a promotional feature that notifies my friends that I made a payment with Facebook Credit and gives me discounts when my friends make a purchase again. You can also give discounts in a similar way.)

Here, in the second method, if the purchaser has paid for the purchasing fee reflecting the purchase application price, which is the amount of the purchase application price multiplied by the purchase application price,

If the buyer becomes unavailable for purchase, he / she will refund all the money he / she paid in advance at the time of purchase and the goods will not be supplied.

The purchaser becomes able to supply the commodity while refunding the amount of money other than the purchasing cost (= the winning bid multiplied by the number of the purchase request) reflecting the winning bid from the amount of money that he / she preliminarily paid at the time of purchase.

To be more specific,

The purchase price of 5,000 won, which is lower than the winning bid price of 5,100 won by the second bidding price determination method, is refunded to the buyer who has applied for the purchase of 140 pieces pre-paid for 5,000 won for each purchase. Because it is not possible to purchase the product at a price lower than the winning bid price, so it will refund the entire amount paid in advance.

As a result of purchasing the purchase price of 7,000 won, 180 won of 7,000 won was refunded to the buyer who purchased the prepaid amount of 1,900 won, which is the difference between the advance payment of 7,000 won and the winning bid price of 5,100 won, The goods are supplied.

The purchase price of 8,500 won, which is higher than the winning bid price of 5,100 won, is applied to the purchaser who applied for the purchase of 130 pieces pre-paid at 8,500 won per piece. The difference between the price and the price of 3,400 won is refunded, and the goods are supplied.

The purchase price of 10,000 won, which is higher than the winning price of 5,100 won, is 10,000 won for each of the 40 pre-paid buyers. The amount of 4,900 won is refunded, and the goods are supplied.

If a joint purchase is made by the methods that can be derived from the method of the present invention including the method of determining the winning bid price by the first method and the second method or the method of the embodiment having the corresponding reimbursement concept,

There are many cases where purchasers who are satisfied with a small discount rate are able to purchase as much as possible, thereby reducing opportunity loss of buyers and sellers.

If there was a sales announcement to supply the product at a discount of 50% only when 500 or more products were purchased as before, only one buyer would be able to purchase the product even though 490 purchase applications were made.

According to the method of the present invention, since 350 out of the 490 purchased applications can be traded, it can be seen that the conventional method has a large opportunity loss to buyers and sellers as compared with the method of the present invention.

In addition, since the buyer can purchase the same amount of the winning price even though the purchasing application price is higher than the winning price, the purchaser who is substantially satisfied with the high price applied at a low discount rate is very low priced at a very high discount rate There is no need to apply for purchase only at the purchase price.

For example, a buyer who is satisfied with a 15% discount may be eligible for a purchase price of 30% or 50% (or any other discount rate), even if he / It is possible to apply for a purchase while expecting. If the discounted price of 30% or 50% (or any other discount rate) is determined as the winning price, you may receive a discount of 30% or 50% (or other discount rate) As shown in FIG.

Even buyers who are willing to purchase any discount even if they do not have a discount, will be able to purchase at 15% or 30% or 50% (or other discount rate) It is possible to apply for a purchase in anticipation that the winning price may be determined for the amount of money. If the discounted price of 15%, 30%, or 50% (or other discount rate) is determined as the winning price, you may receive a 15% or 30% or 50% (or other discount rate ) Can be purchased at a discounted amount.

In the end, when you apply for purchase in the joint purchase by the method of the present invention, you only have to apply for purchase at a price at which the discount rate is generally satisfactory, and if the price is not at a very high discount rate, Only buyers can apply for a purchase at a very low price with a very high discount rate.

Buyers themselves can focus more on promoting to attract more buyers.

As shown in FIG. 6, if the number of purchases is " 150 or more ", " unsatisfactory " It is not necessary to explain that the purchase price of 7,000 won, which is the lowest price among the purchasing application prices corresponding to the " satisfactory "

At the initial stage of applying the method of the present application, a joint purchase has been performed so that only one purchase order quantity section corresponds to only the purchase order price. However, since the effect of the present invention is good, suddenly too many purchase order quantity sections If they exist, buyers may not accept it, or they may cause confusion,

As shown in FIG. 21, it is recommended that joint purchase is performed so that there are two purchase order quantity sections, and it is recommended to gradually increase the number of purchase order quantity.

This is because, even if only one purchase requisition quantity section exists, it is possible to exert a tremendous effect by making two purchase purchase quantity sections exist.

The electronic commerce system 10 for implementing the joint purchase method according to the present invention is a system in which an electronic commerce system 10 for implementing a joint purchase method according to the present invention includes at least one purchase application terminal 12, , A joint purchase server 16 for operating an online site where a joint purchase is carried out, or a network communication network 14 including the Internet for communication.

(In entering sales information,

The site operator receives the sales information from the seller, the site operator inputs the sales information through the terminal used by the site operator, or the seller directly inputs the sales information through the sales application terminal used by the seller.

If the seller directly inputs the sales information through the sales application terminal used by the seller, the sales application terminal 18 used by the seller may be required. If the site operator receives the sales information from the seller and inputs the sales information through the sales application terminal used by the site operator, the sales application terminal 18 used by the site operator may be required. Anyway, you can say that a sales application terminal is needed.)

The purchase application terminal 12 accesses the joint purchase server 16 to confirm the joint purchase progress information, and when the purchaser intends to purchase a specific article desired through the joint purchase, Is a client terminal used to receive purchase progress information.

The sales application terminal 18 is a client terminal used by the seller to access the joint purchase server 16 to input his / her joint purchase condition information and confirm the joint purchase progress information.

When the co-purchasing condition is input by the site operator after receiving the contents of the co-purchase condition from the seller, the sales operator terminal used by the seller may not be needed. However, if the terminal of the site operator is regarded as a sales application terminal, the sales application terminal 18 may also be required.

The joint purchase server 16 manages an electronic commerce site by a joint purchase method. The joint purchase server 16 provides joint purchase progress information, receives and stores purchase application information from the purchase application terminal 12, (Or sales information), and processes the joint purchase progress process.

In addition, in the joint purchase method according to the present invention, the common purchase server 16 includes a payment server (not shown) and a payment server Or a billing function can be performed by itself. Further, the joint purchase server 16 can be interlocked with a separate sales server (not shown) to provide information on a sale product.

The e-commerce system 10 is very similar to the conventional e-commerce system for a general commerce joint shopping mall, an internet shopping mall, and an Internet auction site. The present invention differs from the conventional system in which joint purchasing is operated, Only the operation program provided on the joint purchase server 16 side is changed. Even if the guide system is not described in detail, those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention within the scope of a conventional electronic commerce system construction technique.

A joint purchase method according to the present invention is a joint purchase method on an electronic commerce in which a seller (mainly one person) and one or more (mainly a large number of) buyers can participate in the same product at the same time, The purchaser requests the purchase by inputting the purchase application information including the purchase application price corresponding to the maximum price that the user can pay for the purchase target product and the purchase application quantity, which is the quantity of the product desired to be purchased.

A purchase requisition status including a number of purchase requests for each purchase requisition price or a cumulative purchase requisition for each purchase requisition requested for purchase at a purchase requisition price or more is collected through the joint purchase server through the joint purchase server,

After completing the joint purchase request, through the joint purchase server,

The amount of the cumulative purchase request for which the purchase amount of the purchase request is greater than or equal to the purchase purchase price for each purchase application price (for which the winning price can be determined by the purchase purchase price) The specific price is determined as the winning price among the prices below the lowest purchase price,

It is determined that the buyer who has applied for the purchase price equal to or greater than the winning bid price is determined as the purchaser who has made the purchase and that the purchaser who is subscribed at the purchase price less than the winning price is determined as the purchaser who has not been purchased, It is provided or notified to the connected terminal including the sales application terminal.

Therefore, it is also determined by the buyers could not be entered into every sphere as the buyer purchase fastening different from the conventional joint purchase method there may be a buyer has occurred.

The purchaser can enter the purchase application information including the purchase requisition price and the purchase application quantity to guarantee the purchase application by paying part or all of the purchase cost accordingly, The buyer 16 can return a part or all of the amount previously paid to the buyer canceling the purchase application even though the purchase price has been determined, The seller's loss due to cancellation can be preserved.

As a result, all purchasers who have made a purchase purchase can be assured that they will definitely execute the purchase.

Of course, the joint purchase server 16 immediately refunds the amount previously paid when the purchaser who has paid in advance is determined as a purchaser who has not been able to make a purchase according to the result of the joint purchase, and if the purchaser who has paid in advance, If it is determined, the amount of money that has been paid in advance is replaced with the purchase cost of the commodity, but the difference paid in advance exceeding the purchase cost reflecting the winning price is calculated and refunded.

In addition, if the seller also prepays a predetermined sales deposit to cancel the sale even after the successful bid price is determined or does not smoothly deliver the product to the buyer, the joint purchase server 16 re- It is possible to secure the loss of the purchaser due to the cancellation of the seller's sale and to secure the reliability of the transaction.

Also, according to the present invention, the joint purchase server 16 does not close the transaction at the purchase application price requested by each buyer, and all the buyers determined to be the buyer who has made the purchase can purchase the goods at the same price Thus, a single joint purchase operation can satisfy a large number of buyers as much as possible. (A buyer having a complaint can prevent occurrence brightness 1).

In this regard, the joint purchase server 16 basically receives the purchase cost calculated in consideration of the purchase application price and the purchase application quantity requested by each buyer before the sale price is determined (mainly at the time of purchase application) Therefore, the difference between the purchasing cost previously paid by each purchaser and the purchasing cost reflecting the winning bid is calculated and refunded for each purchaser immediately after the purchase decision is determined.

The joint purchase method according to the present invention comprises the following steps (or means).

0) (a step (or means) in which the joint purchase announcement information including that the purchase application price is corresponded for each of the two or more purchase application quantity segments for the transaction target product is transmitted to the joint purchase server;

4, the present step (or means) is a step (or means) for collectively purchasing a joint purchase condition including a plurality of different purchase requisitions corresponding to different purchase discount prices, (Or means) provided by the site operator to the site operator or entered directly by the seller.

It is obvious that different purchase application prices are regarded as corresponding to each other even if different purchase application prices are not corresponded to different purchase application quantity ranges in the joint purchase disclosure and a specific discount rate is corresponded to different normal daily prices. It belongs to the scope of right. This is because discount prices are derived by applying a discount rate to ordinary prices.

1) Through the joint purchase server, the joint purchase announcement information including that the purchase application price (corresponding to a specific discount rate can be applied) is corresponded to two or more purchase application quantity sections (Or sales application terminal: SS ?) To the connected terminal Accepted  First step (or means) ( S101 )

4, the present step (or means) is a step (or means) for collectively purchasing a joint purchase condition including a plurality of different purchase requisitions corresponding to different purchase discount prices, Is provided to the site operator so that the site operator can input the joint purchase announcement information or the joint purchase announcement information inputted by the seller can be displayed on the purchase application terminal (or means).

 When a specific discount rate is applied to each of the two or more purchase request quantity sections, it is recommended that different discount rates are provided for each purchase quantity section, but a joint purchase may be carried out so that the same discount rate is applied as needed, even in different sections.

And, the specific discount rate may be 0%. That is, there may be a purchase order quantity section to which a normal price is applied

2) purchase application information including one of the two or more purchase application prices selected from the purchase application terminal used by each buyer or inputting the purchase application quantity is inputted, To (Stored in the common purchase server: SS?) (Or means) ( S102 )

- This step (or means) accesses the common purchase server 16 through the purchase application terminal 12 used by each buyer, and then collectively discloses the joint purchase announcement information on the sales products provided by the joint purchase server 16 When a user selects a specific product and intends to purchase the product through joint purchase, if the user inputs purchase requisition information including a desired purchase requisition price and a purchase requisition quantity within his / her time available for purchase, (16) and stored.

At this time, each purchaser can directly input a desired purchase application price, and the purchase price can be directly inputted from among a plurality of purchase application prices provided by the joint purchase server 16 as shown in the example of FIG. 4 or 5 It is also possible to select one and input it.

There are a variety of selection input methods, including inputting the number of the purchase application price provided or inputting the number by clicking a button related to the provided purchase application price number.

The selection of any one of them to be input is described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, for example.

 If the number of purchase requests is one, the number of purchase requests can be automatically processed without having to input the number of purchase requests separately. That is, the specific purchase order quantity including the case where the purchase order quantity is 1 may be automatically input-processed without inputting the purchase order quantity separately.

Each purchaser may operate the purchase price to change the purchase price of the purchase application until the winning price is determined. As an example of how to change it, it is possible to change only by selecting a new purchase application price, or cancel a previous purchase application and apply for a new purchase at a new purchase application price. If payment is made at the time of purchase, payment may be made in accordance with the changed price payment rule or refunded.

3) a purchase application status including a cumulative purchase request quantity for each purchase request price purchased by the purchase purchase price or more for each purchase request price or each purchase price for each purchase request price through the joint purchase server, A third step (or means) that is aggregated through the purchasing server S103 )

- In this step (or means), the joint purchase server 16 compiles the purchase application status for the number of purchase requests for each purchase application price or the number of cumulative purchase requests for each purchase application price requested for purchase at the purchase price or more to provide.

Here, the cumulative purchase request quantity by each purchase purchase price refers to the total quantity of all the purchase purchase quantity requested to purchase at a price higher than the purchase purchase price.

For example, the joint purchase server 16 may provide a purchase application status including the cumulative purchase application quantity indicated in the "accumulated" column of FIG.

In other words, the "accumulated" in FIG. 5 or 6 represents the cumulative purchase request quantity for each purchase purchase price requested for purchase at the purchase purchase price or more.

4) The number of cumulative cumulative purchase requisitions that are requested to be purchased at the purchase price or more for each purchase requisition price is greater than the lower limit quantity of the purchase requisition quantity section condition (the winning price can be determined by the purchase requisition price) The bid price is determined by the price (of the price) lower than the lowest purchase requisition price among the purchase application prices corresponding to the purchase price,

It is determined that the purchaser (one or more of the purchasers) who has applied for the purchase at the purchase price equal to or greater than the winning bid price is determined as the purchased purchaser, and the purchaser who has made the purchase can purchase at the same price as the winning bid price, (One or more of the purchasers) is not purchased The result of the transaction including the determination that the purchaser is determined to be unacceptable is derived, (Or sales application terminal: SS ?) (Or means) provided or notified to the connected terminal including S104 )

- This step (or means) is a step (or means) in which the result of the closing result including the buyer whose purchase price is determined according to the end of the joint purchase application period and the buyer who has not made a purchase is derived.

(Therefore, unlike the conventional joint purchase method, a buyer who fails to make a purchase may be generated even though there is a buyer who has made a purchase even though it is a joint purchase.)

The description of this step (or means) will not be described in detail since it has been described in detail in detail in the example of FIG. 5 above.

Of course, some or all of the purchasers who have not been purchased by the site operator discretion, dealer discretion, or separate remedy may be recognized or remitted as purchasers, so that the authorized or remitted buyer Or you can make the whole purchase or some cost support.

In the step (or means) for refunding the difference, when the purchasing cost that the purchaser has preliminarily paid in advance (mainly reflecting the desired purchase price) is greater than the purchase cost reflecting the winning price, It is in the same context that the refund amount may be refunded more than the refund amount calculated by the discretion of the site operator or the seller discretion after being calculated.

In addition, the joint purchase method according to the present invention may further include the following steps (or means).

2-1) A part of the purchase cost reflecting the purchase application price before the successful bid price including the time when the purchase application information is received from each purchase request terminal through the joint purchase server is determined Or the total purchase cost  A step (or means) in which the settlement is accepted in advance (taking into account variable costs) S102 -One)

- In this step (or means), each purchaser prepares the purchasing price (considering the variable cost) or all or part of the purchase cost based on the purchase application price and the purchase application amount, (Or means).

If the buyer does not pay the purchase cost before the bid price is determined (mainly at the time of purchase), the buyer can cancel the purchase without any restriction at the later time, If you cancel, you will receive some payment in advance to receive a cancellation penalty in the form of a cancellation charge or to make a strong statement of intent to purchase.

4-1) After the bid price has been determined,

Through the joint purchase server,

The pre-paid purchase cost (or more) received from the purchase application terminal used by the purchaser determined as a purchaser who has not been purchased is refunded (considering the variable cost)

(In consideration of a variable cost) a pre-paid purchase cost exceeding a purchase cost reflecting a bid price among pre-paid purchase costs received from a purchase application terminal used by a buyer determined as a purchased purchaser Way); Step 4-1 (or means) ( S104-1 ).

This step (or means) allows the joint purchase server 16 to refund all purchase costs (in consideration of the variable costs) previously paid by the buyer who has not been determined as a buyer who has made a purchase after the end of the joint purchase, (Or a means) for refunding (in consideration of the variable cost) a cost (or more) that has been paid in advance exceeding the purchase cost reflecting the successful bid price among the purchase costs previously paid by the completed purchaser.

That is, the final sale price is determined as the winning price, and the purchaser calculates the purchase cost reflecting the purchase price of the purchaser first, and subtracts the purchase cost reflecting the winning price from the amount previously paid, and refunds the remainder.

 It is almost impossible, but at someone 's discretion, it may give you more refunds than the' rest 'amount. That's why I'm giving you a refund for the difference. And the word 'ideal' in the reimbursement of other costs in other parts of the book is also a word used in the same intentions.

In addition, since the present invention does not apply for a patent for a method of refunding a part of the amount of the card settlement, that is, it is not a patent application related to electronic settlement among related patent fields in electronic commerce, I do not think so,

As to the refund for the amount you pre-paid with your card,

In other words, as to a method of refunding an amount of money (or more) obtained by subtracting the purchase cost reflecting the winning bid price from the amount of money previously paid to the purchaser who paid an amount exceeding the purchase cost reflecting the winning bid price, Here's how it works (other ways are possible).

1. It automates payment of advance payment (card) payment and new purchase price reflecting bid price.

2. You will be charged a positive amount in advance for the amount you paid for the card, and a negative amount for the difference (equal to the amount paid in advance, minus the purchase price that reflects the winning bid). As a result, It is arranged by paying the cost (Even if the airline changes the price at the time of the reservation change, it processes it this way.)

3. The credit card company transfers the difference to the customer's account.

4. Remittance the amount of money (the seller can pay the card fee) by subtracting the purchase price reflecting the winning price from the amount the seller paid in advance to the customer's bankbook.

5. Earn points or earn cyber money at the credit card company by subtracting the purchase price that reflects the winning price from the amount paid in advance. (It may be possible to cash at any time.)

6. You can earn points or cyber money at the operating site by subtracting the purchase price that reflects the winning price from the amount you paid in advance (you may be able to cash at any time).

Further, a step (or means) similar to the above may be added as follows.

After the winning bid price has been determined,

Through the joint purchase server,

The pre-paid purchase cost (or more) received from the purchase application terminal used by the purchaser determined as a purchaser who has not been purchased is refunded (considering the variable cost)

The pre-paid purchase cost received from the purchase application terminal used by the purchaser decided as the purchaser who has made the purchase is further paid for the purchase cost that is less than the purchase cost reflecting the bid price, A step (or means) for accepting from the application terminal;

- This step (or means) means that the buyer pays the amount of the shortfall before the bid price is determined, when the amount paid before the bid price is determined to be less than the purchase price reflecting the bid price. I will not.

4-2) If the cancellation of the purchase from the purchase application terminal used by any buyer who is requested to purchase through the joint purchase server is accepted after it is determined to be the purchased purchaser, the purchase application (Step 4-2) in which part or all of the pre-paid purchase costs received from the terminal are returned to the purchasing cancellation penalty (taking into account the variable cost) and the remaining balance is paid back Or means) ( S104 -2).

- In this step (or means), if the buyer cancels the purchase application after determining the buyer who made the purchase, the buyer may pay some or all of the purchase costs paid in advance ( Or taking the variable costs into account) to provide the seller with the cost of the seller, thereby ensuring the reliability of the transaction.

That is, in the case of the seller, all the purchasers who have applied for the purchase decided that they would buy the product if they decided to purchase the product. If canceled, even after selling the product after winning the bid, profit may be much lower than originally thought, or damage may occur rather than originally thought, so that a predetermined penalty is given to the buyer canceling the purchase application.

Further, the joint purchase method according to the present invention may further include the following steps (or means).

1-1) A first settlement of accounts (considering variable costs) before settlement price including a time when sale information is received (from a sales application terminal) through the joint purchase server is determined beforehand, -1 step (or means) ( S101 -One).

- In order to preserve the loss of purchased purchasers that may occur in the case of canceling sales or failing to smoothly provide goods even though the purchaser has been purchased, this step (or means) (Mainly at the time of application for sale), and if the seller does not fulfill his or her obligations in the future, he / she will provide some or all of the sales security deposit paid in advance (considering the variable costs) .

4-3) After the purchased purchaser is derived,

The sales cancellation is accepted from the sales application terminal used by the seller through the joint purchase server or the obligation according to the sales right granted to the seller is received by the seller To fulfill If information is received that has not been paid, the pre-paid sales security deposit will be refunded (taking into account the variable costs)

Normal transaction is made, (in view of the variable costs) to sell deposit (or more) the seller refunds the first step 4-3 (or means) (S104-3).

- This step (or means), as described above, cancels the bid deposit paid by the seller in advance to compensate the loss of purchasers who have made purchases if the seller cancels the sale without good reason or does not smoothly provide the goods (Or means).

 If a normal transaction is made, the sales deposit will be refunded to the seller.

In addition, the following two steps (or means) may be added.

After the winning bid price is determined through the joint purchase server,

The payment for the entire purchase cost (in consideration of the variable cost) is accepted from the purchase application terminal used by the buyer determined as a new purchaser or a buyer who has not been purchased,

The purchase cost previously paid (considering the variable cost) received from the purchase application terminal used by the buyer determined to be the buyer who has not been purchased due to the application for purchase at the purchase price less than the winning bid price is lower than the purchase cost (Including consideration of variable cost) from a purchase application terminal used by a purchaser determined to be a purchaser who has failed to make a payment for the insufficient purchase cost

The total purchase cost (considering variable costs) Accept it ,

A step (or means) in which a buyer determined as a new purchaser or a purchaser who has not been purchased is further given an opportunity to purchase the commodity at the winning bid price;

- This step (or means) is a step (or means) in which the buyer who has not made a purchase or a new buyer is given a chance to purchase the product at the winning price because of the application for purchase at a purchase price less than the winning price .

(If more chances are given,

- The new purchaser only has to pay the purchase price reflecting the winning price,

- A step (or means) of additionally paying the amount of the insufficient payment made by the buyer determined to be a purchaser who has not been purchased is further needed.

In other words, the amount that the buyer

If the buyer who is determined as the buyer who has not been able to purchase the product at the winning bid price is smaller than the product obtained by multiplying the purchase request quantity at the time of purchase,

If the purchaser determines that the buyer has not paid for the purchase price, the buyer prepares the purchase amount in advance,

Subtract

A further step (or means) of further payment by the buyer is required.

(- a step (or means) of further paying the insufficient amount paid by the purchaser determined as the purchaser who has made the purchase).

In other words, the amount that the buyer

If the winning bidder is smaller than the price multiplied by the number of purchases made at the time of purchase

The price paid by the buyer in advance from the bid price multiplied by the quantity of the purchase application ordered at the time of purchase,

Subtract

A further step (or means) of further payment by the buyer is required.

if not,

It is also possible to automatically cancel the payment made in advance or manually cancel the payment, and then settle the entire purchase price reflecting the winning price once again.

 Alternatively, it may be possible to automatically select this step (or means) to proceed at the time of inputting the purchase application information.

Automatically telling this step (or means) to proceed here involves either making a payment for the insufficient amount automatically or making the entire purchase price pay.

A step (or means) for providing information exchange means including a note and a comment enabling the information exchange with respect to the winning bid price to be properly made between the purchase request terminal and the terminal including the sales application terminal through the joint purchase server;

- This step (or means) is a step (or means) that allows information exchange including discussion, discussion, and reasonable bidding prices to be made by means including comments, notes, and bulletin boards to facilitate communication between the seller and the buyer )to be.

A buyer who fails to purchase a product as a result of applying for purchase at a purchase price that is too low due to a lack of information among the buyers who have attempted to purchase the product at an appropriate price, Minimize the number.

So far, the facts have been described in terms of concepts that can belong to the embodiment of the concept claimed in the present application in order to facilitate understanding of the comprehensive concept of the present invention.

I will now describe the comprehensive concept of this article.

The joint purchase announcement information to which the comprehensive concept of the present application is applied includes that the more the purchase application quantity, the more benefit is given to the buyer. These benefits include no benefits at all. This is because you may not be able to benefit from less than the number of applications.

Until now, we have explained our method only with the benefit of lowering the price of benefits. That is, this is merely an example of a case where there is a joint purchase announcement by a seller that the price is lowered as the number of purchase applications increases as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, or FIG.

Benefits from the buyer's point of view are not just that prices are going down.

In addition to lowering prices as the number of purchase applications increases,

As the number of purchases increases, the condition that the various goods (= goods or services) are added to the buyer (including the change to the more valuable goods) in addition to the basic goods corresponds to the benefit of the buyer.

Even if the number of purchase applications increases, the price remains the same, but as the number of purchase applications increases, a variety of goods (= goods or services) other than basic items are added to the buyer The condition also corresponds to the benefit of the buyer. If the price is the same, it includes free.

If the product is added to the buyer (including a change to a more valuable item) while the price remains the same (or is slightly lowered) as above, the buyer will be able to add more value The seller is more profitable than the price discount in the case of the seller because the seller has to spend the less amount of money than when the value of the buyer is converted into the amount of money.

For example, it is often more profitable for sellers to place a price of 10,000 won at a price of 4,000 won and a price of 4,000 won at a price of 6,000 won. Because the cost of additional 4,000 won worth of meat may be only 1,000 won, it is 3,000 won more than selling a 4,000 won discount to sellers. At the same time, there are many cases where the buyer is satisfied.

As the number of purchases increases, the number of kinds of products to be supplied to buyers varies widely, including any additional items (including changes to more valuable ones) in addition to the basic items. It depends on the seller. For example, the following items may be additionally given.

(For example, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour), service period (for example, 1 minute, 50,000 won, 100,000 won) Month, 6 months, 1 year), discount rate (eg 10%, 30%, 50%), exemption of specific amount (eg exemption of 10,000 won for registration fee of 30,000 won, exemption of 20,000 won for registration fee of 30,000 won, (Such as cell phone rings, stylus pens, liquid crystal protection film), goods (eg drinks, tea, wine), etc.

If the additional item is "cash refund", it means that the seller can give cash to the buyer.

Figs. 4 and 5 are charts showing the results of a joint purchase announcement and a purchase application in which the price is lowered as the number of purchase applications is increased for a steak having a price of 10,000 cases per day.

However, as shown in FIG. 10, depending on the seller, even if the number of purchase applications increases, the price does not fluctuate, and as the number of purchase applications increases, some products are added to the buyer (or the goods are changed into more valuable products) (To reduce the number of drawings, joint purchase disclosure information and results are expressed at once.)

Referring to FIG. 10, the following will be described.

Even if the number of applications for purchase increases, the price is the same as 10,000 won. However, as the number of purchase applications increases,

In the No. 2 (purchase quantity) section, only drinks are supplied,

Drinking water and tea are additionally supplied at the No. 3 (purchase quantity) section,

It can be seen that in section 4 (quantity of purchase application), drinks, tea and wine were announced to be supplied additionally.

(if not,

In the No. 2 (purchase quantity) section, only drinks are supplied,

Only the car is supplied at the No. 3 (quantity of purchase application) section,

It can also be said that only wine is advertised as being supplied at the number 4 (purchase quantity) section. In the table showing the joint purchase announcement information as shown in FIG. 10, there will be no crosstalk when the joint purchase announcement is made to explain how the additional supply product should be interpreted according to the purchase order quantity section.

In this table,

As shown in FIG. 10, when there is no overlapping benefit in the purchasing application benefit column corresponding to each purchase quantity segment,

In the No. 2 (purchase quantity) section, only drinks are supplied,

Drinking water and tea are additionally supplied at the No. 3 (purchase quantity) section,

In section 4, the interpretation that drinks, tea and wine are supplemented will be referred to as the "cumulative benefit application method" in the additional benefit application method,

In the No. 2 (purchase quantity) section, only drinks are supplied,

Only the car is supplied at the No. 3 (quantity of purchase application) section,

The method of interpreting that only the wine is supplied at the No. 4 (purchase quantity) section will be referred to as the 'individual benefit application method' in the method of applying the supplementary benefit.

As shown in FIG. 11, if the supplementary goods are indicated to be duplicated in the purchasing application benefit field corresponding to each purchase quantity section, there will be no confusion even if there is no notification on the interpretation of the chart.

(A duplicate benefit of addition of beverages is indicated in the sections 2 and 3 of FIG. 11, and a duplicate benefit of addition of drinks and tea is indicated in sections 3 and 4)

As shown in FIG. 11, unless there is a specific condition, it is easy to interpret as follows.

In the No. 2 (purchase quantity) section, only drinks are supplied,

In addition, only the beverage and tea are supplied at the No. 3 (purchase quantity)

Drinking water, tea and wine are also supplied at the No. 4 (purchase quantity) section.

Herein, the description will be continued with the assumption that it is noticed that the additional supply product will be constructed as shown in FIG. 11 when the joint purchase announcement is made as shown in FIG.

Referring to the result portion of FIG. 10, it can be seen that the total number of purchase requisitions is 490, and the purchase requisite corresponding to the No. 3 section is awarded by the same principle as that of FIG. In other words, if the bid price is 10,000 won, and the method of applying the additional benefits is applied as a "cumulative benefit applying method", the additional awarded product will be the difference with the beverage. If you are notified in the joint purchase announcement information that you apply the supplementary benefit method as "how to apply the individual benefits", you may apply the rule to supply additional cars only).

In addition, the buyer who has made a purchase request while selecting the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 1, 2, or 3 (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchase, And the buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to the fourth (number of purchase application) section at the time of purchase application. The principle of such purchasing is described in detail with reference to FIG.

However, once again,

In the result portion of FIG. 10, the total number of purchase requests is 490,

If you look at the status of purchasing application, once you have notified it in the joint purchase disclosure information,

There are 40 purchases, 40 cumulative purchases,

The total number of purchases is 130, the total is 170,

The amount of purchasing the purchase of the purchase application which becomes the additional product of the drink and the car at 10,000 won is 180, the cumulative total is 350,

There are 140 purchases, and a total of 490 purchases are selected for the purchase application, which is the addition of drinks, tea and wine at 10,000 won.

(If you notice in the joint purchase disclosure information that you apply the supplemental benefits method as "how to apply the individual benefits"

There are 40 purchases, 40 cumulative purchases,

The total number of purchases is 130, the total is 170,

The purchase amount of purchasing application with the purchase amount of 10,000 won to the car is 180, the total is 350,

The number of purchases for purchasing a wine is 10,000 won and the total number of purchases is 140, and the total is 490.)

Since the lower limit of the purchase request quantity section condition of the first, second and third sections is smaller than the accumulated quantity of the corresponding purchase request quantity, the "satisfactory" section of the first, second and third sections is "satisfactory". If the "satisfaction" column indicates that the purchase price corresponding to the purchase order corresponding to the purchase order quantity range of "satisfaction" is 10,000 won, the method of applying the supplementary benefit is called "cumulative benefit application method "If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information, you will be able to win the purchase application benefit that the beverage and tea becomes an additional product, 350 of the cumulative purchases requested by the purchaser who signed the contract will be supplied to the purchaser who has purchased the product, with the price of 10,000 won, plus drinks and tea.

(If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information that you applied the additional benefit application method as "individual benefit application method", depending on the seller, the additional product will be sold only.)

Since the lower limit (500 pieces) of the purchase request quantity section condition of the No. 4 section is larger than the total number of the purchase request quantity (490 pieces), the "satisfaction" section of the No. 4 section is "unsatisfactory" The condition is not awarded as a benefit to the purchase of the condition, the product can not be supplied with the purchase application fee of 10,000 won, but the drink, tea and wine are additionally supplied. So, if you pay for 10,000 won at the time of purchase, if you apply for a purchase by purchasing additional items, you will receive 10,000 won for each buyer who fails to make a purchase, You can refund each one.

The process of making the above-mentioned conclusion is described in detail with reference to FIG. 5, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

For reference, FIG. 5 can be represented as FIG. 22, and the meaning of FIG. 5 and FIG. 22 is the same.

Figure 12 exemplifies the sale of an oven.

FIG. 12 shows that, even if the number of purchase applications is increased as shown in FIG. 10, the price does not change to 500,000 won, and that as the number of purchase applications increases, the supplied goods are further added (including a change to more valuable products) .

In the result portion of FIG. 12, the total number of purchase requests is 490,

It can be seen that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 3 is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10. In other words, the winning bid is 500,000 won,

If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information that you applied the additional benefit application method as "cumulative benefit application method", the additional product will be the balance and the frying pan. (Depending on the seller, "If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information, you may apply the rule to supply only frying pan.

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to a section number 4 (purchase request quantity) at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

Now, let's look at an example where the price is free, and as the number of applications for purchase increases, more items are added (including changing to more valuable items).

This is an example that can be used for service contracts, such as Internet subscription and insurance products. When subscribing to these services, they do not cost money at the time of subscription, but they can be applied to products that have a fixed cost per fixed period of time (eg one month).

Let's take an example of the Internet subscription product as an example.

KT has a broadband internet product that requires paying 30,000 KRW a month. If you sign up for a contract that you will continue to use for more than three years, you only have to pay 25,000 won a month. In the case of buyers, money is not usually required in the name of the subscription fee. (It is possible to announce the joint purchase by paying the first month's fee in advance.

FIG. 13 shows an example of a joint purchase announcement and a result of a KT, a high-speed Internet, a monthly purchase of KRW 25,000, and a three-year commodity subscription.

As shown in FIG. 10, even if the number of purchase applications is increased, the price does not change (0 won (= free)), and as the number of purchase applications increases, the supplied goods are further added .

In the result portion of FIG. 13, the total number of purchase requests is 490,

It can be seen that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 3 is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10. In other words, if the price is 0 won (= free) and the method of applying the supplementary benefits is applied as the "cumulative benefit applying method" in the joint purchase announcement information, the additional product will be mouse and MP3 (Depending on the seller, you may apply the rule to supply additional MP3 if you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information that the additional benefit application method is applied as "individual benefit application method"). At the same time, the buyer who has made a purchase can pay 25,000 won per month.

In addition, the buyer who has made a purchase request while selecting the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 1, 2, or 3 (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchase, And the buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to the fourth (number of purchase application) section at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

And let's see if the benefit is cash.

The fact that the seller provides cash benefits to the buyer means that the seller gives cash to the buyer.

FIG. 19 shows an example of a joint purchase announcement and results for KT, high-speed Internet, monthly 25,000 won, and three-year commodity subscription.

As shown in FIG. 10, even if the number of purchase applications is increased, the price is not changed (0 won (= free)), and as the number of purchase applications increases, the products supplied are further added .

In the result portion of FIG. 19, the total number of purchase requests was 490,

It can be understood that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 3 is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10. In other words, if the price is 0 won (= free) and the additional benefit applying method is applied as the "cumulative benefit applying method" in the joint purchase announcement information, the additional award amount is 60,000 won (= 10,000 won + 2 (If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information that you applied the additional benefit application method as "Individual Benefit Application Method", depending on the seller, you can apply the rule to supply only additional 30,000 won. ). At the same time, the buyer who has made a purchase can pay 25,000 won per month.

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has applied for a purchase while selecting a benefit corresponding to a section of 4 times (quantity of purchase application) at the time of purchase is not made a purchase. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

Also, let's look at the case where the unit of purchase quantity is an amount.

For example, as shown in Fig. 14, a bakery intends to jointly purchase a certain kind of bread.

There are several types (or one kind, all kinds) that are subject to joint purchase. In purchasing bread at the price when the buyer visits and purchases the bread, As the amount of purchase is increased, the discount rate may be matched with the price of the buyer visiting and purchasing. (It is possible to proceed with the price of the joint purchase announcement rather than the price of the buyer visiting and purchasing. )

In this case, the purchaser can apply for a purchase by declaring his intention to purchase some amount of bread when applying for a purchase.

Thus, looking at the results of the application for purchase (of a plurality of purchasers) in Fig. 14,

Since the number of purchase application units is 10,000 Yuan, the total number of purchase purchase orders is 4,900 Yuan, and it is understood that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the No. 3 zone is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10. In other words, the awarded benefit means that the method of applying the supplementary benefit is applied as a "cumulative benefit applying method". If the notification is made in the joint purchase disclosure information, each buyer who has passed the purchase application, You will be able to purchase 45% (= 0% + 15% + 30%) of the discounted amount. (Depending on the seller, , You can apply a rule that you can only purchase at a 30% discount).

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to a section number 4 (purchase request quantity) at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

Since each buyer who has made a purchase is allowed to purchase the bread for the amount of money he purchased at the discounted percentage price corresponding to the winning bid,

The refund may not occur even if the customer pays for the amount of the purchase application in advance on the basis of the price at the time of the joint purchase announcement before the award of the award is determined,

If the purchaser purchases the product on the basis of the price at the time of purchase and purchase after the winning bid is determined, the customer can not make payment in advance, so that the refund may not occur.

Such a method may be more suitable for a product having a short period of fluctuation in price and also for a marginal product. For example, automobile gasoline.

15 will be described by way of example.

As shown in FIG. 14, the purchase quantity unit of FIG. 15 is an amount.

For example, as shown in FIG. 15, at a gas station, a joint purchase of a certain kind of oil is desired.

There are several kinds of joint purchase targets (or one kind, but all kinds are not applicable). In purchasing the oil at the price when the buyer visits the oil, As the amount of purchase is increased, the discount rate may be matched with the price of the buyer visiting and purchasing. (It is possible to proceed with the price of the joint purchase announcement rather than the price of the buyer visiting and purchasing. )

In this case, the purchaser can apply for purchase by declaring his intention to purchase some amount of oil when applying for purchase.

Thus, looking at the result of the purchase application (of a plurality of purchasers) of Fig. 15,

Since the number of purchase application units is 10,000 Yuan, the total number of purchase purchase orders is 4,900 Yuan, and it is understood that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the No. 3 zone is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10.

In other words, the awarded benefit means that if the buyer is notified in the joint purchase announcement information that the additional benefit application method is applied as the "cumulative benefit application method", then each buyer who has passed the purchase application will pay the amount of gasoline You will be able to purchase at a discount of 3% (= 0% + 1% + 2%) (depending on the seller, , You can apply a rule that you can buy at a 2% discount).

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to a section number 4 (purchase request quantity) at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

It is a condition that the purchaser can actually purchase the oil of the amount of money he purchased with the discounted per cent price corresponding to the winning bid for each purchaser who made the purchase,

The refund may not occur even if the customer pays for the amount of the purchase application in advance on the basis of the price at the time of the joint purchase announcement before the award of the award is determined,

If the purchaser purchases the product on the basis of the price at the time of purchase and purchase after the winning bid is determined, the customer can not make payment in advance, so that the refund may not occur.

In the case of gasoline, the unit of purchase quantity may be liter.

16 will be described by way of example.

Since the number of units of purchase is liter, the total number of purchase requests is 490 liters, and it can be seen that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 3 is awarded by the same principle as FIG. 5 or FIG. In other words, the awarded benefit means that the method of applying the supplementary benefit is applied as the "cumulative benefit applying method". If the buyer notified in the joint purchase disclosure information, (0% + 1% + 2%) discount on the amount of gasoline (3%). If you notice in the disclosure information, you can apply a rule that you can purchase at a 2% discount).

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to a section number 4 (purchase request quantity) at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

It is a condition that the purchaser can actually purchase the gasoline of the volume that he / she purchased with the price per liter of the discounted percentage corresponding to the winning bid for each purchaser who has made the purchase,

If you pay in advance before the award is determined, the price per liter of the discounted percentage you applied for multiplied by the volume you applied multiplied by the price per liter of the discounted percentage that corresponds to the winning bid multiplied by the requested volume The difference subtracted will be refunded.

If you make a payment for the amount you have applied for in advance of the price of the purchase at the time of the joint purchase announcement before the award of the award is determined, the discount per liter of the discount per cent you applied for, Minus the price per liter of the per cent of the per capita rate (see refund in Figure 16 - assuming a price per liter of 100 without discount)

If the purchaser purchases the product on the basis of the price at the time when the buyer visits and purchases after the award is determined, the refund may not occur because the customer can not pay in advance (not shown).

Now, let's look at an example in which the benefit includes an extended benefit period.

When jointly purchasing aerobic six-month course products, there may be a joint purchase announcement and results as shown in FIG.

In the result portion of FIG. 17, it is found that the total number of purchase requests is 490, and that the benefit of the purchase request corresponding to the No. 3 section is won by the same principle as FIG. 5 or FIG. In other words, if the price is 300,000 won, and the method of applying the supplementary benefit is applied as the "cumulative benefit applying method" in the joint purchase announcement information, the additional supply item is extended for one month, I will extend for three months. In other words, it will be extended for 3 months (= no +1 month + 2 months) for the basic 6 month course ticket, so you will be able to take the course for 9 months in total (depending on the seller, If you have notified it in the joint purchase announcement information, you may apply the rule to supply additional 2 months extension)

So far, as the number of applications for purchase has increased

There is no added product, only the price is lowered

Although the price is not fluctuating, only the added commodities are accumulated or changed into more valuable commodities. However,

As the price drops as in Figure 18, the added product may also have the benefit of being accumulated or replaced with more valuable goods.

18 is an example of a joint purchase announcement and result of a mobile phone subscription product.

It is assumed that a product that contracts to use a service for two years while paying 50,000 won per month as a basic charge while moving a mobile phone service company to a specific communication company while purchasing a specific mobile phone.

In case of purchasing a mobile phone, you have to pay a fee of 300,000 won for the mobile phone (because it is a free mobile phone but it is a free mobile phone). If it is, it will be expensive to 700,000 won for the specific mobile phone.)

When changing from 1 to 2, the price of the mobile phone will remain unchanged, but a cellphone link worth 10,000 won will be supplied.

When changing from the second to the third section, the price of the mobile phone is lowered by 10,000 won, and the added product is further added (or changed) by the stylus pen of 20 thousand won in the cell phone ring of 10,000 won worth.

When changing from the third to the fourth section, the price of the mobile phone is lowered by 10,000 won, but there is no additional product.

In the result portion of FIG. 18, the total number of purchase requests is 490,

It can be understood that the purchase application benefit corresponding to the section 3 is won by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or 10. In other words, if the price of the mobile phone is 290,000 won, and the method of applying the supplementary benefit is applied as a "cumulative benefit applying method" in the announcement of the joint purchase disclosure information, If you noticed in the joint purchase announcement information that you apply the additional benefit application method as "how to apply the individual benefit" depending on the seller, the price of the mobile phone is 290,000 won, and only the stylus pen worth 20,000 won is added. You can also apply a feeding rule). In addition, the purchased purchaser is subscribed to a service in which the base rate is 50,000 yen per month for two years.

Now let's take a look at the complexities of adding or changing the benefits as the number of purchases increases. A variety of benefits can be compounded, including cash, gift certificates, discount rates, or additions or changes in general commodities, but in the following examples cash and general commodities will be added to more valuable commodities And the like).

20 shows an example of a joint purchase announcement and a result of joining a KT, a high-speed Internet service, a monthly 25,000 won, and a three-year commodity subscription. (For a detailed description of the product, refer to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, even if the number of purchase applications increases, the price does not change to 0 won (= free of charge), and as the number of purchase applications increases, the supplied goods are further added (including the change to more valuable products).

In the result portion of FIG. 20, the total number of purchase requests is 490,

It can be seen that the benefit corresponding to the section 3 is awarded by the same principle as in FIG. 5 or FIG. In other words, if the price is 0 won (= free) and the additional benefit applying method is applied as the "cumulative benefit applying method" in the joint purchase announcement information, the additional award amount is 60,000 won (= 10,000 won + 2 If you noticed in the joint purchase announcement information that you apply the additional benefit application method as "individual benefit application method" depending on the seller. , And cash (30,000 won) and MP3 (50,000 won). At the same time, the buyer who has made a purchase can pay 25,000 won per month.

In addition, the purchaser who has selected the purchase application benefit corresponding to the first, second, or third (purchase request quantity) section at the time of purchasing the purchase, And a buyer who has made a purchase purchase is not made a purchase while selecting a purchase application benefit corresponding to a section number 4 (purchase request quantity) at the time of purchase application. This purchasing principle is discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG.

While the description of FIG. 10 to FIG. 21 is taken as an example, the description of the benefit is divided into the purchase application price (or discount rate) and the additional benefit product. The purchase price is the amount that the buyer can make obligatory payment at the time of purchase application, and the additional supply item must be fulfilled by the seller. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the obligations of the buyer and the seller I just put it off. The discount rate may be a discount rate for the amount of money the buyer is required to deposit at the time of purchase, or may be the amount that the buyer can receive a discount upon receiving the actual product. Therefore, the discount rate must be written in the column It may be efficient, or it may be more efficient if it is listed in the column where the seller has to do something.

In any case,

Be clear about the benefits, including expressing what the buyer is obliged to do and what the seller has to do to make it clear to buyers,

It can be written in the same column at a time, or it can be written at random. In dividing, it may be divided into two or more factors, including dividing into two factors: the purchase price (or discount rate) and the additional supply item.

Let us now summarize what we would like to pursue comprehensively.

The following description of each step (or means) will be omitted. This is because the key points of the following techniques, particularly in the description of FIG. 5, have been described in great detail in a transaction that can benefit from lowering price as the number of purchase applications increases. The difference is not important, because it can be inferred from the above explanation.

In addition, the process includes a process of payment and refund in advance, a process of payment and refund of the purchase deposit, and a process of payment and refund of the sales deposit

It is possible to apply the techniques described in the transaction that can benefit from lower prices as the number of purchase applications increases, but the techniques not explained in the following. As described in detail with reference to FIG. 5, the application method will not be described separately.

The following description of the claims is mainly replaced by the word "purchase application fee" in the description of how the purchase price is lowered as the number of purchase applications increases, The meaning of the "application price" means "the following purchase application benefit", and the meaning of "less than the purchase application price" has been replaced with the meaning of "excess purchase application benefit". This is because the purchase price and the purchase price are inversely proportional to each other. For example, if the purchase price is higher, the purchase application benefit is lowered, and if the purchase price is lowered, the purchase application benefit is higher.

Another explanation for the change is that you can easily see the explanation of how to get the benefit of lowering the price as the number of purchase applications increases.

A joint purchase server and a purchase application terminal available to one or more purchasers can be connected to each other via a network communication network including the Internet E-commerce (Or a joint purchase server and one or more purchasers Purchase order An e-commerce system in which terminal devices available for sellers and end users can be connected to each other through a network communication network including the Internet)

The joint purchase method according to the present invention comprises the following steps (or means).

(Or a step (or means) in which joint purchase announcement information including that a purchase application benefit is corresponded to two or more purchase order volume sections for a transaction target product is transmitted to the joint purchase server);

- This step (or means) provides the site operator with a joint purchase condition that includes different correspondence of different purchase application benefits for two or more different purchase application application quantity sections for a specific product as shown in FIG. 10, (Or means) entered by the operator or entered directly by the seller.

It is obvious that different purchase application prices are regarded as corresponding to each other even if different purchase application prices are not corresponded to different purchase application quantity ranges in the joint purchase disclosure and a specific discount rate is corresponded to different normal daily prices. It belongs to the scope of right. This is because discount prices are derived by applying a discount rate to ordinary prices.

In principle, the benefits should be two or more conditions that are compared with each other. However, in this application, the items to be fulfilled by the buyer and the items to be fulfilled by the seller, which are corresponded to each purchase quantity section, can be referred to as a benefit.

The joint purchase notification information including that the purchase application benefit is corresponded to at least two or more purchase order quantity sections with respect to the transaction target product through the joint purchase server, (Or sales application terminal: SS ?) To the connected terminal Accepted  Step (or means);

- This step (or means) is a step in which the seller collects the joint purchase conditions including the fact that different purchase application benefits are corresponded to two or more different purchase order quantity sections for a specific merchandise as shown in FIG. 10 (Or means) that the site operator inputs or the joint purchase announcement information directly input by the seller can be displayed on the purchase application terminal.

 When a specific discount rate is applied to each of the two or more purchase request quantity sections, it is recommended that different discount rates are provided for each purchase quantity section, but a joint purchase may be carried out so that the same discount rate is applied as needed, even in different sections.

And, the specific discount rate may be 0%. That is, there may be a purchase order quantity section to which a normal price is applied

The purchase application information including one of the two or more purchase application benefits selected from the purchase application terminal used by each buyer or inputting the purchase application quantity is inputted and transmitted to the joint purchase server (Stored in the common purchase server) SS ?) (Or means);

- This step (or means) accesses the common purchase server 16 through the purchase application terminal 12 used by each buyer, and then collectively discloses the joint purchase announcement information on the sales products provided by the joint purchase server 16 When a user selects a specific product and wants to purchase through a joint purchase, if he / she selects a purchase application fee including a desired purchase application price within the available time for purchase application, The purchase application information can be transmitted to the joint purchase server 16 and stored.

At this time, each purchaser can directly input his / her desired purchase application benefit, and a plurality of purchasing application benefits provided by the joint purchase server 16 as shown in the explanation of the example through FIG. 10 (~ May be selected and input.

There are a variety of selection input methods, including one for inputting the purchase application benefit letter provided or a button for inputting the purchase application benefit letter provided.

The selection of any one of them to be input is described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, for example.

 If the number of purchase requests is one, the number of purchase requests can be automatically processed without having to input the number of purchase requests separately. That is, the specific purchase order quantity including the case where the purchase order quantity is 1 may be automatically input-processed without inputting the purchase order quantity separately.

Each purchaser may also operate to change the purchase application for which he or she purchased the purchase until the award is determined. As an example of how to make changes, you can simply change the selection of a new purchase application, or cancel a previous purchase and apply for a new purchase with a new purchase. If payment is made at the time of purchase, payment may be made in accordance with the changed price payment rule or refunded.

A purchase requisition status including a cumulative purchase requisition quantity per each purchase requisition subscribed to a purchase requisition subordinate to the purchase requisition subordinate to the purchase requisition subordinate amount per each purchase requisition subordinate benefit, A step (or means) that is aggregated through;

- In this step (or means), the joint purchase server 16 compiles the purchase application status of the cumulative purchase request quantity per each purchase request application that is purchased with the purchase quantity per each purchase application benefit or below each purchase purchase benefit to provide.

Here, the cumulative purchase quantity per purchase order refers to the total quantity of all the purchase quantity requested for purchase, which is the same as the purchase request for the buyer, or a benefit that is worse than the purchase request.

For example, the joint purchase server 16 may provide a purchase application status including the cumulative purchase application quantity indicated in the "accumulated" column of FIG. 10 (to FIG. 20).

That is, "cumulative" in FIG. 10 (~ 20) represents the cumulative purchase amount of each purchase request for each purchase request.

After completing the joint purchase request, through the joint purchase server,

For each purchasing application benefit, the amount of the cumulative purchase request that is purchased by the purchase application under the purchase application benefit is greater than the lower limit quantity of the purchase order quantity section condition. As the benefit is determined as a benefit,

The purchaser who has been purchased (one or more of the purchasers) is determined to be the purchaser who has made the purchase, and the buyer who has made the purchase can purchase the commodity while receiving the same benefit of the award, the purchase application to purchase more than one application benefits Closing stage results are derived, including the (one or more of the purchaser), the purchaser could not be determined by the buyers signed purchase (or means);

- This step (or means) is a step (or means) in which the result of the transaction including the bidding fee determined by the end of the joint purchase application deadline and divided into the buyer who has made a purchase and the buyer who has not made a purchase is derived.

(Accordingly, unlike the conventional joint purchase method, a purchaser determined to be a purchaser who has not been purchased even though a purchaser has been purchased may be generated even though the purchaser is a joint purchaser.)

The description of this step (or means) will not be described in detail since it has been described in detail in detail in the example of FIG. 5 or 10 (-20) above.

And, the benefits below benefits are those benefits equal to or less favorable to the buyer. As a result, the benefits of excess benefits say better benefits than the benefits of the buyer.

Of course, some or all of the purchasers who have not been purchased by the site operator discretion, dealer discretion, or separate remedy may be recognized or remitted as purchasers, so that the authorized or remitted buyer Or you can make the whole purchase or some cost support.

In the step (or means) for refunding the difference, when the purchasing cost that the purchaser has preliminarily paid in advance (mainly reflecting the desired purchase price) is greater than the purchase cost reflecting the winning price, It is in the same context that the refund amount may be refunded more than the refund amount calculated by the discretion of the site operator or the seller discretion after being calculated.

In addition, the joint purchase method according to the present invention may further include the following steps (or means).

A part of the purchase cost reflecting the purchase application price before the award award including the time when the purchase application information is received from each purchase application terminal through the joint purchase server is determined Or the total purchase cost  A step (or means) in which the settlement is accepted in advance (taking into account the variable benefit); Further comprising:

- In this step (or means), each purchaser applies the purchasing price that is reflected in the purchase application application that he / she applies for, and all or part of the purchase cost according to the quantity of purchase application (Or means) of assuring his or her purchase application.

If the buyer does not pay the purchase cost before the award is determined (mainly at the time of purchase), the buyer can cancel the purchase without any restriction at the end of the purchase, If you cancel, you will receive some payment in advance to receive a cancellation penalty in the form of a cancellation charge or to make a strong statement of intent to purchase.

After the award is determined,

Through the joint purchase server,

The pre-paid purchase cost (or more) received from the purchase application terminal used by the purchaser determined as the purchaser who has not been purchased is refunded (considering the variable benefit)

(In consideration of the variable benefit) of the pre-set purchase cost received from the purchasing application terminal used by the purchaser decided to be the purchaser, Means for collectively purchasing the bundle.

This step (or means) allows the joint purchase server 16 to refund the purchased purchase price determined in advance by the buyer determined as the buyer who has not been purchased after the joint purchase ends (considering the variable benefit) the payment of a purchase price in excess of the purchase cost of the winning bid reflects pre-payment fee (more) (in view of the fluctuations benefits) steps which reimbursement is (or means).

That is, the final selling price is determined as the winning price. At first, the purchaser calculates the purchase cost reflecting the purchase price of his / her purchase, subtracts the purchase cost reflecting the winning price from the amount of the price paid in advance, ) I will refund.

 It's almost impossible, but it may give you more refunds than the 'remaining' amount. That's why I'm giving you a refund for the difference. And the word 'ideal' in the reimbursement of other costs in other parts of the book is also a word used in the same intentions.

In addition, since the present invention does not apply for a patent for a method of refunding a part of the amount of the card settlement, that is, it is not a patent application related to electronic settlement among related patent fields in electronic commerce, I do not think so,

As to the refund for the amount you pre-paid with your card,

In other words, as to a method of refunding an amount of money (or more) obtained by subtracting the purchase cost reflecting the winning bid price from the amount of money previously paid to the purchaser who paid an amount exceeding the purchase cost reflecting the winning bid price, Here's how it works (other ways are possible).

1. It automates payment of advance payment (card) payment and new purchase price reflecting bid price.

2. You will be charged a positive amount in advance for the amount you paid for the card, and a negative amount for the difference (equal to the amount paid in advance, minus the purchase price that reflects the winning bid). As a result, It is arranged by paying the cost (Even if the airline changes the price at the time of the reservation change, it processes it this way.)

3. The credit card company transfers the difference to the customer's account.

4. Remittance the amount of money (the seller can pay the card fee) by subtracting the purchase price reflecting the winning price from the amount the seller paid in advance to the customer's bankbook.

5. Earn points or earn cyber money at the credit card company by subtracting the purchase price that reflects the winning price from the amount paid in advance. (It may be possible to cash at any time.)

6. You can earn points or cyber money at the operating site by subtracting the purchase price that reflects the winning price from the amount you paid in advance (you may be able to cash at any time).

After the award is determined,
