Description

Tire information providing method, system and non-temporary readable recording medium using online

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing tire information using online, and to a non-temporary readable recording medium.

In general, the tire market has a distribution structure in which, when a tire manufacturer or a tire wholesaler supplies tires to a tire retailer such as a car center or a tire discount store, the tire is finally sold to consumers through the tire retailer.

Tires are very diverse according to vehicle model, brand, size, etc., and are bulky and require a lot of space for storage, so it is practically impossible to stock all types of tires according to vehicle model, tire brand, and size at a tire retail store. .

Therefore, in order to obtain the desired tire when replacing or purchasing a tire, a tire retailer contacts a tire manufacturer or a tire wholesaler to check inventory and secures inventory and trades. These methods are time-consuming and It is inefficient because it is not easy to obtain tires in a timely manner.

On the other hand, when a tire retail store needs to recommend a tire product to an end consumer, it is not easy for the tire retail store itself to have data that clearly organizes tire product information. Accordingly, there is also a problem that it is not easy for tire retailers to systematically explain products to end consumers and recommend products to sell.

Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of a technology that can check and effectively utilize tire information such as tire product information and stock information in a convenient way at the time of need.

In general, a supplier, that is, a tire manufacturer or a tire wholesaler, may record the same tire product under different names, and product detailed information may also be recorded under different terms according to set standards. In the process of integrating tire product information in the product data generator 121 by matching product names and terminology related to information recorded for each supplier terminal 20 to generated product data, the product data generator 121 Product names, etc., can be consistently unified. Accordingly, confusion caused by using different names for the same product according to tire manufacturers or tire wholesalers can be prevented, and accuracy and reliability of information can be improved. In addition, since each supplier can obtain accurate and unified information without changing their process or use program, the supplier does not experience any inconvenience in providing information.

Matching of terms related to product names and information in the product data generating unit 121 and terms related to product names and information recorded in the supplier terminal 20 may be automatically performed through artificial intelligence. For example, by referring to detailed information recorded for each item in each supplier terminal 20, a corresponding item in the product data generator 121 may be found and matched through machine learning. This matching may be performed when the supplier terminal 20 first accesses the tire information providing system 100 of the integrated management server 10, and then, information transmission and integration are performed by referring to the matched information. can

Meanwhile, as described above, when tire product information input from the supplier terminal 20 is changed, the product information collecting unit 111 may collect the changed information in real time. Accordingly, the tire product data generated by the product data generation unit 121 may be automatically updated with changed information, that is, the latest information. For example, when the stock quantity of a tire product input to the supplier terminal 20 is changed, the product information collection unit 111 collects information on the change in stock quantity, and the product data generator 121 collects information on the change in stock quantity. In the process of integrating the changed information, the tire product data can reflect the changed information.

In this way, by reflecting real-time product-related information in tire product data, the user provides real-time product information by supplier (by tire manufacturer or tire wholesaler), for example, real-time inventory status, real-time price, etc., at a time when necessary. can receive

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user data generation unit 123 of the data generation unit 120 performs a function of generating user data by integrating and analyzing user information collected by the user information collection unit 113. can User data may include search data, purchase data, and usage data, and may include results of analyzing user information based on various criteria. For example, search volume, purchase volume, usage volume, and the like by year, quarter, and month through time-series analysis may be included.

The recommendation unit 130 of the tire information providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform a function of providing a tire recommendation list based on tire product data and user data. The recommendation unit 130 may recommend a user-customized tire product by receiving tire product data and/or user data from the data generator 120 and analyzing them.

Specifically, by using user data, a user's search pattern, purchase pattern, use pattern, etc. may be identified, and a tire product or similar tire product that meets the user's needs may be extracted as a recommended product. This can be performed by artificial intelligence and can be updated according to changes in tire product data and/or user data. Meanwhile, similar tire products refer to tire products having similar characteristics and specifications extracted by comparing tire strength, load index, speed index, vehicle type, country of origin, etc. using tire product data.
