1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a product registration system for sale according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a smart mobile terminal 10 in which the product registration application according to the present embodiment can be installed and driven is configured, and the mobile terminal 10 is easy to carry and a camera module capable of taking an image this is fitted

The mobile terminal 10 includes a smart device such as a tablet PC or a notebook PC, preferably using a smart phone.

A product registration application is installed in the mobile terminal 10, and the application may be downloaded and installed from an App Store or App Market, or downloaded and installed directly from a website that produces and provides an application.

The product registration application 20 includes a control module 21 , a photographing module 22 , and a recognition module 23 . The control module 21 manages and controls the overall functional flow and data processing of the application, manages and controls the display area and user interface (UI) of the mobile terminal, and manages and controls communication with a server connected to the network through a wired or wireless communication network. will do The photographing module 22 activates the camera module 12 mounted on the mobile terminal to photograph an image, that is, a QR code or barcode attached to a product.

In addition, the recognition module 23 applies the image image captured by the photographing module 22 to the QR code module 24 or the barcode module 25, respectively, so that the recognized result value, that is, product information can be extracted. .

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 10 includes an API (Application Programming Interface) for asynchronous communication using HTML5 and postMassage of JASON. The API is one of a language or message format used for communication between the operating system (OS) of the mobile terminal 10 , that is, Android or iOS, and the product registration application 20 .

In particular, when a seller uses the product registration application 20 to register a product to be sold on a shopping mall site of a variety of platforms as well as a shopping mall operated by the seller, it can be easily used, and a real photo of the product for sale is easily taken and , it is possible to easily upload the photographed product image as a representative image and images in the detail page. This will be described in more detail with specific drawings.

The product management server 30 is connected to a plurality of mobile terminals 10 through a wired/wireless communication network to provide product information, product photos, purchase history, delivery information, seller information, etc. sold by each seller.

The management unit of the product management server 30 manages and controls the connection of a plurality of mobile terminals 10 through a wired/wireless communication network and transmission/reception of various information related to shopping. The management server includes a member information DB for storing and inputting information of sellers or members, and an order information DB for storing and inputting information related to order as well as product registration.

In addition, a DB necessary for operation and delivery together with matters related to the registration of sales products of the product management server 30 may be further included.

In addition, the product management server 30 allows the sale of product information and sales product photographed images registered through the mobile terminal 20 to be transacted through a shopping mall site and to be paid for. And, the information paid by the consumer is transmitted to the mobile terminal 20 so that the seller can check the details of the sale product through the product registration application 30 of the mobile terminal 20 .

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of registering a product according to the product registration system for sale according to the present invention.

First, if you want to sell a product prepared in your own store, download the product registration application 20 of the present invention and execute it in the mobile terminal 10 .

In addition, when the seller intends to create a sales page for a product for sale using the mobile terminal 10 , the QR code or barcode (hereinafter referred to as 'information code') configured in the product for sale is transferred to the mobile terminal 10 . Take a picture (S110).

Then, when the recognition module 23 of the product registration application 20 recognizes the corresponding information code, the control module 21 provides information corresponding to the code, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the product name , information corresponding to production information such as sales price, country of origin, distribution information, or sales information is output on the screen of the mobile terminal 10 .

However, when the corresponding product information is insufficient or correction is required, the seller may directly modify information necessary for the sale of the corresponding product, such as a product name and a selling price, in the mobile terminal 10 .

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the seller can easily register the photo of the actual product to be displayed on the product sales site exposed on the Internet by dividing it into a main image and a detailed image. That is, there was an inconvenience in that the seller must take a picture of each product for sale, move it to a computer, etc., and upload it individually for each online shopping mall site. In this embodiment, the user uses the mobile terminal 10 to When it is necessary to change the product for sale or the actual picture of the product being sold, it is possible to set and edit the picture with a simple operation.

Here, the main image is a representative image displayed on the shopping mall site with respect to the sale product, and the detailed image is an image displayed along with a product description loaded after selecting a link to the sale product in the shopping mall site. That is, the detailed image is an image displayed in the product detail page from which the purchase quantity and purchase payment of the sale product can be selected.
