Below, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts that are not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are given similar reference numerals throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a part is said to “include” a certain component, this means that it may further include other components rather than excluding other components, unless specifically stated to the contrary.

Figure 1 is a diagram to explain the overall concept of the development app transaction system, which is an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the development app transaction system, which is an embodiment of the present invention, may be largely comprised of a seller terminal 100, a buyer terminal 200, and a brokerage transaction server 300.

The seller terminal 100 is a terminal used by a person who wants to sell app software he or she has developed. A PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc. can be used as the seller terminal 100. The seller uploads the program source information of the app software (used development app) he owns to the brokerage transaction server 300 through the seller terminal 100, and when the buyer purchases it, it is sent from the brokerage transaction server 300. You will receive compensation for this.

The buyer terminal 200 purchases used app software uploaded from the seller terminal 100 and, if necessary, requests modification thereof to obtain appropriately modified used app software from the brokerage transaction server 300.

The brokerage transaction server 300 is connected to the buyer terminal 200 and the seller terminal 100 and arranges a transaction of used app software between the buyer and the seller. The brokerage transaction server 300 has a function to evaluate the fair price for the used development app to be sold from the seller terminal 100 and suggest an appropriate price between the seller terminal 100 and the buyer terminal 200. In addition, when there is a request from the buyer terminal 200, it is equipped with a function to modify and provide the source program of the used development app that is the subject of brokerage transaction.

Hereinafter, the used development app trading method and the electronic configuration and operation of the brokerage transaction server 300 in the developed app trading system, which is an embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a used development app trading method in a development app trading system, which is another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the seller terminal 100 uploads the used app program (including source information of the used development app) that it wishes to sell to the brokerage server (S11). At this time, the seller terminal 100 provides detailed information on the used development app. App detailed information includes name information, field information, page number information, content information, target information, production cost information, production time information, and desired price information. This app detailed information is used as basic information for generating fair price information, which will be described later.

In this way, the brokerage transaction server 300, which receives the used app program from the seller terminal 100, generates fair price information, that is, an appropriate price for the used app program (S22). The fair trade price is calculated by generating conversion price information using production cost information and production time information in the case where the used development app being traded is a non-profit app (i.e. an app that does not generate direct profits, such as a company introduction app). In addition to the information, the degree of utilization of used development apps can be calculated by weight. Conversion price information can be calculated by considering the extent to which technical value decreases over time based on the production cost. And the fair trade price can be calculated by weighting the conversion price information and utilization.

Accordingly, the used conversion price information (A), which is the subject of transaction, can be calculated by the following equation.

A = B /(1 + 0.3*Y)

A: (Noncommercial app) Conversion price

B: Production cost

Y: (Current - production time information) upper limit of 5 years;

The reason why the upper limit here is 5 years is because, considering the speed of app development, apps that have passed 5 years are too old and have no value, so they can be seen as having no value as used apps.

Meanwhile, if the used development app being traded is a commercial app (i.e. an app that generates direct profits), it can be calculated by taking into account sales and sales growth rate, profit rate and profit growth rate, and expected expiration date in the same industry.

A' = T * (C*D)

A': (For-profit app) Conversion price

C: Sales (annual)

D: Profit rate (annual)

T: Expected validity period (in years)

Here, the expected validity period can be applied to the average validity period of the commercial app category. Additionally, the fair trade price (P') can be calculated by correcting the annual sales and profit growth rates.

The conversion price determined in this way can be determined as a fair transaction price (P) according to the following formula.

P = A * [(Views information/Average number of views)* 0.5 + (Number of users information/Average number of users information)*0.5]

Here, the brokerage transaction server 300 receives the view count information, average view count information, user target information (e.g., user number information), and average user target information (e.g., average user number information) from the app download site. You can acquire it and use it. Here, the view count information and user information are usage information of used development apps to be sold, and the average view count information and average user target information may mean the average value of development apps belonging to the same category as the used development app to be sold. .

At this time, user information and average user information can be divided into information by age, gender, and region and calculated by adding weight to each information. Examples of such InApp download sites include Google Play and One Store.

When the fair transaction price information is generated by the brokerage transaction server 300 in this way, it is transmitted to the seller terminal 100 and asked whether the brokerage transaction server 300 is willing to sell for the price set (S23). When the seller terminal 100 wishes to sell at a fair trade price, sale request information is transmitted to the brokerage transaction server 300 (S12, S13). That is, the seller terminal 100, which has confirmed the fair price, transmits sales intention confirmation information to the brokerage transaction server 300.

Next, the buyer terminal 200 connects to the brokerage transaction server 300. The brokerage transaction server 300 can use the user information of the buyer terminal 200 to view appropriate used development apps available for purchase in the form of a list. Alternatively, purchase request information may be transmitted from the buyer terminal 200 (S31), and a list of purchasable used app program information may be transmitted so that the optimal used app program can be selected and confirmed based on the purchase request information of the buyer terminal 200. Can (S24, S25)

The buyer terminal 200 may check the list of used app programs available for purchase from the brokerage transaction server 300, select one of them, and request modification thereto (S32, S33). To be more specific, the buyer terminal 200 sends the modification request information, including information about the information such as "company introduction", "product introduction", and "contact information" that the buyer wishes to modify in the used app program, to the brokerage transaction server. It is transmitted to (300). For example, if the app program being traded is an introduction app for “Company A,” and the company you wish to purchase is “Company B,” the overall structure of the app is maintained as is, and the logo, company introduction, product introduction, etc. Introduction You can now transmit change request information to change only the content.

Then, the brokerage transaction server 300 modifies the used development app based on the above modification request information (S26). At this time, the cost of modifications is also calculated. The cost of modification can be calculated by considering the number of pages modified, the amount of data modified, and the work time. The revised app program described above is transmitted back to the buyer terminal 200, and the buyer terminal 200 can purchase the app program of their choice at a low cost (S27).

In this way, a request for modification of the used development app subject to transaction by the buyer terminal 200 is made.

Figure 3 is a block diagram of the brokerage transaction server 300 used in the development app transaction system, which is another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, the brokerage transaction server 300, which is an embodiment of the present invention, has a communication unit ( 310), member information DB 320, used app DB 330, and control unit 340. Additionally, the control unit may include an app evaluation unit 341, an app modification unit 342, a payment processing unit, and a matching unit 344.

The communication unit 310 is a component for exchanging data with the seller terminal 100 and the buyer terminal 200. The communication unit 310 may use a wired communication unit or a wireless communication unit.

The member information DB 320 stores information on members interested in used development apps that are subject to brokerage transactions, including users of the seller terminal 100 and users of the buyer terminal 200. Members' information may include information such as name, company size, company characteristics, and areas of interest.

The used app DB 330 stores the source program of the used development app transmitted from the seller terminal 100. The used app DB (330) organizes used development apps by category, and includes name information, field information, page number information, content information, target of use information, production cost information, production time information, and hope provided by the seller terminal (100). Price information, conversion price information, and fair price information can be stored together.

The control unit 340 may include an app evaluation unit 341, an app modification unit 342, a payment processing unit 343, and a matching unit 344.

The app evaluation unit 341 generates fair price information based on information on used development apps provided by the seller and stores this in the used app DB 330. In other words, the app evaluation unit 341 generates converted price information using the production cost information and production time information stored in the used app DB 330, and the converted price is based on the view count information and user target information of the used app development app. The information is corrected to generate the fair price information, and this is stored in the used app DB (330). The control unit obtains the view count information and the user target information from an external app download site through the communication unit 310.

The app modification unit 342 is a component that performs modification work on used development apps for trading stored in the used app DB 330 in response to an app modification request from the buyer terminal 200.

The payment processing unit processes payment when the seller terminal 100 decides to purchase the used transaction app that is the transaction target. At this time, a portion of the transaction amount of the buyer terminal 200 can be excluded as a transaction cost, and then the remaining amount can be paid through the transaction information of the user of the seller terminal 100. Alternatively, the price may be paid to the seller terminal 100 in the form of a separately tradable coupon.

The matching unit 344 functions to select an appropriate sales app among used apps for sale stored in the registration database based on purchase request information from the buyer terminal 200. The purchase request information of the buyer terminal 200 may include information such as the type of desired used development app, desired price, and desired production time. The matching unit 344 functions to select an appropriate sales app that matches the purchase request information of the buyer terminal 200 among used development apps for trading stored in the used app DB 330.

According to the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to recycle app programs that can be discarded for business reasons, etc., so the buyer side can develop their own business at a lower cost, and the seller side has the opportunity to recover at least part of the development costs. You get

The used development app trading method and the trading system in the developed app trading system described above can not be applied limited to the configuration and method of the above-described embodiments, and the embodiments are each so that various modifications can be made. All or part of the embodiments may be configured by selectively combining them.
