Description

The invention relates to the field of electronic purchase of goods and services in an electronic network and can be used to create Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service networks.

The well-known "Payment system for various products using cash registers of retail chains" [RU No. 15124510 U1, G07G 1/12, publ. January 27, 2013], containing a clearly defined area in which the goods of the retail network are located, which can be selected by the buyer independently; cash registers equipped with the following devices: a device for printing checks containing information about the goods paid by the buyer for the retail network, a device for storing cash, a device for reading information from plastic cards, a display for visual display of information used by the cashier and / or buyer, the device to enter symbolic information by the cashier and a device for reading information contained in barcodes of purchased goods of the retail network; processor units of said cash registers, equipped with the following hardware and / or software: means for decoding the said bar codes, means for determining the value of the goods of the retail network taking into account this decoding, means for controlling the printing of the said checks, means for connecting to a local or external communication network and means for organizing the transmission of information on said local or external network; a server connected to said local or external network contains information about goods sold in the retail network; moreover, the system includes: said processor units, additionally equipped with the following hardware and / or software: means for decoding barcodes placed on receipts for payment products containing information sufficient to make said payment, means for determining the amount of said payment taking into account this decoding, means to manage the printing of receipts of information on the performance of said payment; a server connected to said local or external network containing information about said products, payment of which can be made in said retail network; a server connected to said local or external network containing information about said products, payment of which was made through said retail network; software for generating periodic consolidated reports on the payments made for said products for predetermined periods that are passed on to suppliers of said products or to an agent of said suppliers of products; predetermined methods of transferring funds received through said retail network for said products to said product suppliers or said agent of product suppliers.

The disadvantage of this system is that it can be used to pay for services only with the help of cash registers of retail retail chains.

Closest to the claimed is the "Social Trade and Financial Network" [RU No. 93558 U1, G06F 19/00, publ. 04/27/2010], containing an executive device for the provision of goods and services, a social global information network, a bank information subsystem, an electronic payment subsystem, the first input-output of which is connected to the input-output of the information subsystem of the bank, and the second input-output is connected to the first input - the output of the social global information network, an electronic logistics center, the first input-output of which is connected to the second input-output of the social global information network, and the second input-output is connected to the first input-output of the executive device for the provision of goods and services, as well as an electronic trading platform, the first input-output of which is connected to the second input-output of the executive device for the provision of goods and services, the second input-output is connected to the third input-output of the social global information network, and the third input-output is connected to the third input-output of the electronic payment subsystem, and a subsystem of production and formation of inventories is added, the first input-output of which is connected to the third input-output device providing goods and services, and the second input-output is connected to the third input-output electronic logistics center.

The disadvantage of this network is the lack of the ability to systematize and unite on a single platform all existing trade and service relations in the world, i.e. it is not a worldwide virtual sales and service network.

The technical result is the expansion of functionality by providing the ability to systematize and unite on a single platform all the existing trade and service relations in the world and build a global virtual trade and service network.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the Worldwide virtual trade and service network containing a global information network connected by communication channels to an executive device for providing goods and services and an electronic trading platform, in addition, an online store of goods is used as an executive device for providing goods and services and services entered by the administrator, K buyers, where K is 1, 2, 3, ..., N virtual buildings, where N is 1, 2, 3, ..., and NP entrepreneurs, where P is 1, 2, 3, ..., inputs the outputs of which are connected via the network with the inputs and outputs of the online stores of goods and services of virtual buildings and with the inputs and outputs of the administrator, the inputs and outputs of which are connected via the network with the inputs and outputs of the electronic trading platform and with the inputs and outputs of the buyers, the inputs and outputs of which are connected via networks with inputs and outputs of an electronic trading platform, the inputs and outputs of which are connected via a network to the inputs and outputs of online stores of goods and services located on the virtual floors of virtual buildings, each building having a conf the supervision of a high-rise multi-story tower, or any other object that allows you to place retail space on its virtual floors, and virtual buildings consist of L virtual floors, where L is 1, 2, 3, ..., the number of which can be different and is determined by the scale of the network, and floors can be either added or removed, and in the buildings there are M online stores of goods and services, where M is 1, 2, 3, ..., and each online store of goods and services has a clear location on the floor, and the entrepreneur rents a specific place in the virtual space that has the full functionality of a ready-made online store of goods and services, and each network entity is assigned a unique address consisting of numbers and / or letters, and the area on the trading floor is measured using virtual units of area measurement - VEIP, and one an online store of goods and services can occupy a certain sales area, and all online stores of goods and services on the floor can be reduced to one form or have a different shape, and each online store is a product s and services receives his unique link - a URL on the website of the online shopping complex, and purchases are made through a single basket, which displays goods and services purchased from different sellers, and orders from several stores are placed at one time with the choice of various delivery methods and payment, and the search can be carried out both in the traditional way - through the search bar and category selection, and using the new navigation system "on the floors" going to the tower of interest, to the desired floors and select I have shops, and the search can be carried out by country (territorial) and industry (categorical).

The introduction of these additional elements and sequences and their connections provide the expansion of the network’s functionality by providing the ability to systematize and unite on a single platform all existing trade and service relations in the world and build a worldwide virtual trade and service network.

In FIG. 1 is a diagram of a worldwide virtual sales and service network.

In FIG. 2 shows a general view of the configuration of a virtual building or tower.

In FIG. Figure 3 shows a general view of a dedicated floor on a virtual building or tower.

In FIG. Figure 4 shows an example of the location of companies on a virtual floor of 30 × 30 seats.

In FIG. Figure 5 shows an example of the location of companies on a virtual floor.

The global virtual trade and service network (Fig. 1) contains an electronic trading platform 1, administrator 2, K buyers 3, N virtual buildings 4 and P entrepreneurs 7, and virtual buildings consist of L virtual floors 5, in which there are M virtual Internet stores of goods and services 6.

The global virtual trade and service network (Fig. 1, ..., Fig. 5) contains a global information network, which includes an electronic trading platform 1, administrator 2, K buyers 3, N virtual buildings 4 and NP entrepreneurs 7, the inputs and outputs of which connected via a network with the inputs and outputs of online stores 6 _{i, j} , where i = 1,2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., M, goods and services of virtual buildings 4 _i and with the inputs and outputs of the administrator 2, the inputs and outputs of which are connected via a network with the inputs and outputs of the electronic trading platform 1 and with the inputs and outputs of customers 3 _i , where i = 1,2, ..., K the inputs and outputs of which are connected via a network with the inputs and outputs of an electronic trading platform 1, the inputs and outputs of which are connected via a network to the inputs and outputs of online stores of goods and services 6 _{i, j} located on virtual floors 5 _{i, j} , where i = 1 , 2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., L of virtual buildings 4 _i , where i = 1,2, ..., N, and there can be several virtual buildings 4 _i , and each of buildings 4 _i has a high-rise configuration multi-storey towers, or any other object that allows you to put on its virtual floors of retail space, the virtual building and consist of 4 _i virtual floors 5 _{i, j,} where i = 1.2, ..., N, j = 1.2, ..., L, the number of which may be different and determined scale network, wherein the floor 5 _{i, j} are as added, so and away, and in the buildings there are online stores 6 _{i, j of} goods and services, and each online store 6 _{i, j of} goods and services has a clear location on the floor, and the entrepreneur 7 _{i, j} , where i = 1,2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., P, rents a specific place in the virtual space that has the full functionality of a ready-made online store of goods and services, and each network entity is assigned a unique cial address consisting of numbers and / or letters, and on the trading floor area measured using virtual space units - VEIP, and one online store 6 _{i, j} of goods and services can take a specific trading area, and all the online stores 6 _{i, j of} goods and services on the floor can be reduced to one form or have a different shape, and each online store 6 _{i, j of} goods and services receives its own unique link - the URL on the website of the Internet shopping complex.

The Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service Network (Fig. 1, ..., Fig. 5) is a virtual analogue of the existing real world trade and service network. This is a website on the Internet and a mobile application, which is a trading platform and visualized in the format of a virtual complex consisting of one or more buildings, on the floors of which sellers of goods and services of various categories are located. The trade and service network allows sellers to create online stores 6 _{i, j} (i = 1,2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., M) of goods and services on its platform, and 3 _i (i = 1 , 2, ..., K) select the seller and the store they are interested in and make purchases in it.

From the point of view of the seller, the site has the opportunity to create your own online store 6 _{i, j} using ready-made tools and modules, and place goods and services in it, as well as choose the location of the retail space on the scheme of the virtual building 4 _i (i = 1, 2, ..., N).

For the buyer 3 _i , there is the possibility of navigating the Virtual Sales and Service Network in a manner similar to navigating through physical towers, shopping centers and other buildings. The buyer can choose building 4 _i from a number of presented ones, for example, choosing for himself in which country he wants to make a purchase, as well as floor 5 _{i, j} (i = 1,2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., L), and see a diagram of the shops located on it. Referring to FIG. 1 lines between virtual floors 5 _{i, j} and online stores 6 _{i, j} , indicate that online stores 6 _{i, j} can be located on any of the virtual floors 5 _{i, j of} virtual buildings 4 _i . When choosing a seller on the floor, the buyer goes to the online store 6 _{i, j} , created by the seller, in which he can familiarize himself with the information about the store entered by the seller, his goods, select the goods and services he needs, add them to the basket and place an order through a single basket, which displays orders made in different stores within the Trade-service network. In addition, the 3 _i buyer has access to traditional online store navigation systems, such as category search, search bar, filters, and others. Thus, the buyer 3 _i can simultaneously search by territory (by country of manufacture), industry (by category), through the search bar, as well as “walking” through the virtual floors 5 _{i, j} , which expands the possibilities and does the search, Navigation and shopping are more comfortable and convenient.

The World Trade and Service Network is a set of virtual buildings 4 _i , in which online stores 6 _{i, j are} thematically grouped according to their parameters. Grouping algorithms can be different and can be applied both individually and several algorithms simultaneously. It can be, for example, two buildings 4 _i and 4 _{i + 1} , one of which accommodates entrepreneurs 7 _{i, j} (i = 1,2, ..., N, j = 1,2, ..., P) selling goods , and another - entrepreneurs 7 _{i, j} offering services. In addition, a separate building 4 can accommodate companies engaged in the delivery of hot food and products, or provide any other services and offer certain groups of goods.

At the same time, on one trading platform 1, which is a trade and service network, various virtual buildings 4 _i can be represented, the number of which corresponds to the number of countries that interact within the trade and service network, both real and virtual. Buyer 3 _i can, for example, choose the “Russia” tower, where goods of Russian manufacturers and all foreign entrepreneurs who want to sell their goods in Russia, or the “Italy” tower, and thereby purchase goods directly from sellers from Italy without intermediaries, are presented etc. Thus, the entrepreneur 7 _{i, j} gets the opportunity to open his store in any country in the world, using the resource through his computer or mobile device.

Several grouping algorithms can be combined within one trading platform 1.

Each of the buildings 4 _i has the configuration of a high-rise tower, or any other object that allows you to place retail space on its virtual floors 5 _{i, j} (or one floor) (Fig. 2).

Each building 4 _i consists of floors 5 _{i, j} , the number of which is determined by the scale of the trade and service network (Fig. 3).

On floors 5 _{i, j there} are shopping areas (online stores) 6 _{i, j of} different sellers distributed according to established signs, which may be the main category of goods, country of origin of the company / brand, price level and others. The number of floors 5 _{i, j} may be different, depending on the scale of the trade and service network. The set of floors 5 _{i, j is} not fixed and may change during the trading platform. Floors 5 _{i, j} can be either added or deleted by the administration 2 of the trade and service network. When you delete a floor 5 _{i, j} building 4 _i, the administrator 2 moves are on this floor, 5 _{i, j} online stores 6 _{i, j} to the other floors 5 _{i, j} virtual building 4 _i, with notice to the seller.

Each online store 6 _{i, j} has a clear location on the floor - the entrepreneur 7 _{i, j} rents a specific place in the virtual space. In FIG. 4 shows several configuration options for online stores 6 _{i, j} (stores 1, 2 and 3), and in FIG. Figure 5 shows an example of the location of companies on the virtual floor.

The initial choice of location for each particular online store 6 _{i, j is} carried out by the entrepreneur 7 _{i, j} , who opened the online store 6 _{i, j} . But, at the same time, the administrator 2 of the trading floor has the right to transfer the store 6 _{i, j} to another floor 5 _{i, j} to a similar place.

When you hover over one of the floors 5 _{i, j} , it is highlighted with color or flicker, or in another way, when you click - floor 5 _{i, j} “pops out”, the user gets the opportunity to display it in full screen and see stores 6 _{i, j} , located on it, and also move from one floor 5 _{i, j} to another by pressing a button (or using another interface element) located next to the virtual floor scheme 5 _{i, j} .

A feature of the Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service Network is that within its framework the entire international system of trade and services is presented in an orderly manner. In addition to the fact that each store 6 _{i, j} receives its own unique link - the URL on the site, each entity is also assigned a specific unique number identifying the store’s location in the Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service Network.

An example of such numbering is: 0007-0037-0122. The first block of numbers (or letters of two or more) denotes a country whose number may coincide with the generally accepted international (telephone) code (in this case, Russia), or it can be set arbitrarily. The second block of numbers indicates the number of the floor in the virtual tower, calculated from top to bottom or bottom to top. The third block of numbers is the number of a place on the floor 5 _{i, j} , which is assigned by the number of the upper left cell of the store 5 _{i, j} (or by another principle). Moreover, at all levels, various options for the direction of numbering are possible. The number of characters (numbers and letters) may vary depending on the scale of the trading platform 1.

Systematization of the existing Internet trade makes it possible to create address-integrated groups of 6 _{i, j} stores, manufacturers of goods, services, categories, and create virtual countries for specific topics. Virtual countries and certain categories of goods and services (associations) can register and work in the format of an independent trading unit.

The area of retail space 1 within the framework of the World Virtual Trade and Service is measured using the Virtual Unit of Measurement of the Area (abbreviated as “VEIP”, English “VEIP”). Weip is a conditional virtual linear measure that allows you to designate virtual distances, areas, volumes. At the same time, in the process of creating a virtual product, where it is necessary to use measures of length, area, etc., the developer at the design stage independently sets the conditional simple indivisible value, which will be 1 wave.

Floors 5 _{i, j of the} towers of the sales and service network have a certain configuration, for example 30 × 30, 40 × 15, 10 × 10 veipes, as well as a certain shape that can change during the operation of the trading platform 1 (from a square, rectangle, circle, to any complicated shape). Each floor 5 _{i, j} can be visually divided into zones for more convenient perception.

Stores 6 _{i, j} can be reduced to one form or to have a different shape. One online store 6 _{i, j} can occupy a sales area of 1 conditional square veip, or occupy a larger number of veip, while receiving an area of shape and size of interest to attract customers' attention (Fig. 4: store No. 1 - 1 veip, store No. 2 - 4 veip, shop No. 3 - 3 veip).

The cost of placing an online store 6 _{i, j} in the Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service Network is formed of two components and paid monthly, as well as the cost of renting any real retail space 1. The first part is the rate depending on the number of items posted on the Internet store 6 _{i, j} . The second part is the number of veips that the online store 6 _{i, j} occupies on the floor 5 _{i, j} . Also, tariffs can be fixed and depend only on the number of goods in the store 6 _{i, j} , or only on the size of the rented virtual area 1.

The main difference between the Worldwide Virtual Trading and Service Network from ordinary trading platforms is its unique navigation, which allows the user to see a large number of stores of 6 _{i, j of} one category, being on any floor 5 _{i, j} at the same time. If the floor 5 _{i, j} is 30 × 30 veipes in area, then the consumer gets the opportunity to see up to 900 stores on one floor, while all of them are on an equal footing with the consumer.

The main goal of creating the Worldwide Virtual Trade and Service Network is to systematize and unite on a single platform all existing trade and service relations in the world. For entrepreneurs, the Network is a profitable and comfortable environment for finding customers and selling goods and services, searching for partners, creating professional associations and B2B relationships, and for consumers - a single, universal and most convenient platform for local and international purchases.

Thus, the claimed network achieves the expansion of functionality by providing the ability to systematize and unite on a single platform all the existing trade and service relations in the world and build a Worldwide virtual trade and service network.
