Meanwhile, although the support system 200 has been described as above, this description is illustrative, and at least some of the components or functions of the support system 200 are installed in the device 300 or a server (not shown) as needed. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that it may be realized in or included in an external system (not shown).

First, the voting token management unit 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention responds to an application for participation by at least one supporter for a project to be supported that is related to the sale of a product or service. It may perform the function of ensuring that a voting token is provided by at least one supporter.

First, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to receive support (e.g., funding, etc.) for a project related to the sale of a product or service, the seller sends support for the project to the voting token management unit 210. You can apply. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the voting token management unit 210 may compare the project with the requirements for support in response to the seller's application for support as above, and if the project satisfies the requirements for support at a predetermined level or more. The project can be determined as a project eligible for support. Next, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the voting token management unit 210 announces the recruitment of voting tokens for the project to be supported as determined above (for example, the announcement contains information about the number of recruitment tokens) may be included). Here, the voting token according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a type of token generally referred to in the field of blockchain technology. Meanwhile, these voting tokens may also be referred to as virtual utility eTokens.

Then, according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one supporter who confirmed the above announcement can apply for participation in the project to be supported, and the voting token held by the supporter may be used to apply for participation in the project to be supported as above. can be provided. In other words, the voting token management unit 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention ensures that a voting token is provided from at least one supporter for the project to be supported in response to the application for participation by at least one supporter to the project to be supported. can do. Here, according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one supporter can provide voting tokens he or she holds to the project to be supported without any limit within the limit of the number of voting tokens he or she holds for the project to be supported. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, one voting token may be provided from a single supporter, but multiple voting tokens may be provided.

Next, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the voting token management unit 210 can calculate the total number of voting tokens provided by at least one supporter to the project to be supported, compared to the number of announced voting tokens. The level of support for a supported project can be determined by referring to the ratio of the total number of voting tokens calculated. For example, if the type of support for the project to be supported is funding, the voting token management unit 210 may determine the amount of support for the project to be supported by multiplying the expected support amount by the above ratio. More specifically, if the expected support amount is 300 million dollars, the announced number of voting tokens is 3,000, and the total number of calculated voting tokens is 2,500, the voting token management department 210 will provide 205 million to the project to be supported. You can decide to provide $10 million in support.

Next, the project management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a function of providing compensation to at least one supporter who provided a voting token to the support target project by referring to information about sales related to the support target project. can be performed. Here, compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a cash asset such as cash, coins, tokens, points, or mileage.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the project management unit 220 can support a project to be supported based on the level of support determined by the voting token management unit 210, and the seller can proceed with the project to be supported based on the above support. You can. At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, sales may be generated as the seller progresses the project to be supported (here, the sales details of the project to be supported are distributed to at least one supporter who provided a voting token to the project to be supported). (may be provided at a predetermined period or in real time), the project management unit 220 may refer to information about such sales and provide compensation to at least one supporter who provided voting tokens to the project to be supported.

Here, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of compensation provided to at least one supporter who provided a voting token to the project to be supported is differentiated for each supporter according to the number of voting tokens provided to the project to be supported by each supporter. can be provided. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of compensation provided to each supporter is determined by the sales associated with the support target project, the compensation ratio applied to the support target project (this compensation ratio is determined according to the characteristics of the support target project), For example, this may be determined based on the margin of the goods or services sold by the supported project (e.g., the larger the margin, the larger the compensation ratio), and the amount provided by at least one supporter to the supported project. It may be determined by referring to the total number of voting tokens and the number of voting tokens provided to the supported project by a specific supporter among at least one supporter. More specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount N of compensation provided to each supporter is: N = (Sales associated with the project to be supported) It can be determined based on the formula: number of voting tokens provided to the project to be supported by a specific supporter among supporters / total number of voting tokens provided to the project to be supported by at least one supporter. For example, the sales associated with the supported project is $1 billion, the compensation rate applied to the supported project is 10%, the number of voting tokens provided by Supporter A to the supported project is 100, and Supporter B supports. If the number of voting tokens provided to the target project is 400, and the total number of voting tokens provided to the target project by all supporters, including Supporter A and Supporter B, is 2500, Supporter A will receive compensation worth $4 million. Supporter B can receive compensation worth $16 million.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above compensation may be provided in installments according to a preset cycle, and the point in time when the compensation is provided is when support for the support target project is scheduled to end and the goal of the support target project is achieved. It can be decided based on the earliest of the time points.

For example, a supported project is scheduled to start on March 1st and end on August 30th, but may end early on June 10th due to meeting sales targets. In this case, as the project eligible for support progresses, sales may continue to occur (i.e., sales will continue to occur between March 1 and June 10), and the 20th of each month is set as the time to provide compensation, so support is eligible. Rewards may be provided to at least one supporter who provided voting tokens to the supported project every 20th day of each month, i.e. on April 20th and May 20th, based on the project's previous month's sales. In this case, the point at which the provision of compensation ends may be determined based on the point at which the goal of the target project is achieved. Specifically, the point at which the provision of compensation ends is the day after the goal of the target target is achieved (i.e., June 11). It may coincide with the day after the reward is provided (i.e., June 21), or it may coincide with the day after the target achievement of the target project according to a preset cycle (i.e., June 21). In other words, compensation for sales generated from May 21st to June 10th will be provided on June 10th, when the target project is achieved, or after the target target is achieved according to a preset cycle. It may be provided on June 20th, when compensation is provided, and compensation may not be provided after that.

However, in the above example, if the project eligible for support did not achieve the target sales before the scheduled end of support, every 20th day of each month based on the previous month's sales, that is, April 20th, May 20th, and June 20th. , rewards may be provided to at least one supporter who contributes voting tokens to supported projects on July 20th and August 20th. In this case, the point at which the provision of compensation ends may be determined based on the scheduled end point of support for the project to be supported. Specifically, the point at which the provision of compensation ends is the day following the scheduled end of support for the project to be supported (i.e., 8 It may coincide with the 31st day of the month) or it may coincide with the day following the time of compensation provision (i.e., September 21st) that comes after the scheduled end of support for the project eligible for support according to a preset cycle. In other words, compensation for sales generated from August 21st to August 30th will be provided on August 30th, when support for the target project is scheduled to end, or after the target project's support endpoint according to a preset cycle. It may be provided on September 20th, when the reward is due, and the reward may not be provided after that.

Next, the project management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides the voting token provided to the support target project with reference to the expected end time of support for the support target project or the target achievement time of the support target project. It can perform the function of returning it to at least one supporter.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a voting token provided by at least one supporter to a project to be supported cannot be returned before the end of the project to be supported, and can only be returned after the end of the project to be supported. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the end time of the support target project may be one of the support target project's expected end time and the target achievement time of the support target project. For example, if a project eligible for support is scheduled to start on March 1st and end on August 30th, but ends early on June 10th due to achieving the target sales, the target date will be June 10th. This may be the end of the supported project. Of course, if the project eligible for support has not achieved its target sales before the scheduled end of support, August 30th, when support is scheduled to end, may be the end time for the project eligible for support. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the voting token is distributed to at least one supporter who provided the voting token to the project to be supported based on the earlier of the expected end of support for the project to be supported and the time to achieve the goal of the project to be supported. It can be returned.

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, voting tokens may be returned to each supporter in the same number as the number provided by each supporter to the project to be supported. For example, if the number of voting tokens provided by Supporter A to the supported project is 100 and the number of voting tokens provided by Supporter B to the supported project is 400, Supporter A and Supporter B terminate the supported project. After that point, you can get 100 and 400 voting tokens back, respectively. That is, the project management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention supports the project by holding the voting token provided by at least one supporter (i.e., not returning the voting token) while the project to be supported is in progress. At least one supporter who provided voting tokens to the target project can be encouraged to engage in promotional activities for the supported project (e.g., write promotional posts about the supported project, etc.), thereby increasing the sales of the supported project. In addition to increasing the reward provided to at least one supporter who contributed voting tokens to the supported project, it can also be increased.

Next, the communication unit 230 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform a function that enables data transmission and reception to/from the voting token management unit 210 and the project management unit 220.

Lastly, the control unit 240 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform a function of controlling the flow of data between the voting token management unit 210, the project management unit 220, and the communication unit 230. That is, the control unit 240 according to the present invention controls the data flow to/from the outside of the support system 200 or the data flow between each component of the support system 200, thereby controlling the voting token management unit 210 and the project management unit. 220 and the communication unit 230 can each be controlled to perform their own functions.

It can be decided based on the earliest of the time points.

For example, a supported project is scheduled to start on March 1st and end on August 30th, but may end early on June 10th due to meeting sales targets. In this case, as the project eligible for support progresses, sales may continue to occur (i.e., sales will continue to occur between March 1 and June 10), and the 20th of each month is set as the time to provide compensation, so support is eligible. Compensation may be provided to at least one supporter who participated in a supported project every 20th day of each month, that is, on April 20th and May 20th, based on the project's sales in the previous month. In this case, the point at which the provision of compensation ends may be determined based on the point at which the goal of the target project is achieved. Specifically, the point at which the provision of compensation ends is the day after the goal of the target target is achieved (i.e., June 11). It may coincide with the day after the reward is provided (i.e., June 21), or it may coincide with the day after the target achievement of the target project according to a preset cycle (i.e., June 21). In other words, compensation for sales generated from May 21st to June 10th will be provided on June 10th, when the target project is achieved, or after the target target is achieved according to a preset cycle. It may be provided on June 20th, when compensation is provided, and compensation may not be provided after that.

However, in the above example, if the project eligible for support did not achieve the target sales before the scheduled end of support, every 20th day of each month based on the previous month's sales, that is, April 20th, May 20th, and June 20th. , July 20 and August 20, rewards may be provided to at least one supporter who participated in the supported project. In this case, the point at which the provision of compensation ends may be determined based on the scheduled end point of support for the project to be supported. Specifically, the point at which the provision of compensation ends is the day following the scheduled end of support for the project to be supported (i.e., 8 It may coincide with the 31st day of the month) or it may coincide with the day following the time of compensation provision (i.e., September 21st) that comes after the scheduled end of support for the project eligible for support according to a preset cycle. In other words, compensation for sales generated from August 21st to August 30th will be provided on August 30th, when support for the target project is scheduled to end, or after the support target project's scheduled end date according to a preset cycle. It may be provided on September 20th, when the reward is due, and the reward may not be provided after that.

Next, the project management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention performs a function to reactivate the deactivated voting token by referring to the expected end time of support for the project to be supported or the time to achieve the goal of the project to be supported. You can. Here, allowing the voting token to be reactivated means ensuring that the voting token can be moved out of the account of the supporter holding the voting token (or has been processed so that the supporter can use or utilize the voting token), i.e., in an unlocked state. It can mean something.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a deactivated voting token held by at least one supporter cannot be reactivated before the end of the supported project (i.e., the supported project associated with the deactivated voting token); , it can be reactivated only after the end of the supported project. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the end time of the support target project may be one of the support target project's expected end time and the target achievement time of the support target project. For example, if a project eligible for support is scheduled to start on March 1st and end on August 30th, but ends early on June 10th due to achieving the target sales, the target date will be June 10th. This may be the end of the supported project. Of course, if the project eligible for support has not achieved its target sales before the scheduled end of support, August 30th, when support is scheduled to end, may be the end time for the project eligible for support. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the voting token can be reactivated based on the earlier of the time when support for the target project is scheduled to end or when the target target for the support project is achieved.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, voting tokens may be reactivated in the same number as the deactivated number in response to each supporter's application for participation in the project to be supported. For example, if the number of voting tokens deactivated in response to Supporter A's application for participation in the supported project is 100, and the number of voting tokens deactivated in response to Supporter B's application for participation in the supported project is 400. , 100 and 400 voting tokens, respectively, can be reactivated after the end of the supported project. That is, the project management unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention supports deactivated voting tokens by holding them (i.e., preventing deactivated voting tokens from being reactivated) while the project to be supported is in progress. At least one supporter who participated in the target project can be induced to engage in promotional activities for the target project (for example, writing promotional posts about the target project, etc.), thereby increasing the sales of the target project. Together, the rewards provided to at least one supporter who participated in the supported project can be increased.

The embodiments according to the present invention described above can be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer components and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc., singly or in combination. Program instructions recorded on the computer-readable recording medium may be specially designed and configured for the present invention, or may be known and usable by those skilled in the computer software field.
