TW201913513A - Auction method that requires bidders to apply for a permit before auction starts - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the auction that requires bidders to apply for permits before the auction starts. The auction items were registered on the server side with settings of the maximum number of applicants to participate in the auction, the application deadline for the auction, the starting time of the auction and the countdown interval. Before the application deadline, the auction platform on the server will permit applications until the number of applicants reaches the maximum number of applicants for the auction. The server launches the countdown and starts the auction at the starting time of the auction. All the permitted applicants can place bids before the countdown finished. If someone places a valid bid, the countdown timer is reset and starts again for the next bid. In the mean time, the auction platform sends the information of the newest bid to all the participants' terminals, such as PCs and mobile phones, through the internet. Then the server waits to receive requests for bidding until the countdown finished. If no new bids appear in the last countdown, the auction ends, and the last participant placed the bid pays the bid price for the auction item. If none of the applicants bids during the first countdown, the auction will end with nobody bid.

Description

Only allow applicants to participate in the auction method of bidding

The present invention relates to a method of auctioning a commodity that requires prior registration to participate in the bidding. This method restricts the bidders who participate in the auction of the goods to meet the application deadline when the a. application is not exceeded; b. The number of applicants at the time of application does not reach the upper limit, and the bidding qualification is obtained in advance. Such an approach would make it necessary for those interested in the auction to compete for the opportunity to participate in the bidding, thereby increasing the number of bidders for each auction item; The time countdown is used to determine the end of the auction. Therefore, the bidder must decide whether to continue bidding in a short period of time during the auction, so as to speed up the bidding process to increase the willingness to bid, and then improve the auction. The winning amount of the product.

The auction platform displays merchandise in the system to accept the bids of all buyers, which is one of the common trading methods in the current e-commerce business model.

The auction platform accepts bids from undecided buyers on the Internet. When the auction time ends, the buyer with the highest bid amount wins the bid.

Many buyers are willing to participate in the bidding of the merchandise because the buyer may obtain the merchandise at a price below the market price.

In the current online auction mode, all buyers who can use the auction platform bid for the products displayed on the auction platform. When the auction time ends, the buyer with the highest bid amount wins the bid. This kind of auction method can participate in the bidder because there is no limit. Before the end of the auction, any buyer can bid, so that the buyer will not actively participate in the bidding; and because the auction time is displayed on the auction platform in the merchandise display. Up to the end of the auction time set on the system, the bidding activity time is too long, and the buyer cannot focus on the bidding price of the product. The goods on the auction platform must be paid attention to before the end of the auction, and then the bidding price will be made. Therefore, the number of people who actually participate in a single product auction is not much, and the amount of the bargaining price of the goods is not easy to increase, which in turn affects the profit or even loss of the auction platform.

In order to improve the foregoing problems, the present invention proposes a method in which only the applicant is allowed to participate in the bidding, and the manner in which the auction time of the previous product auction is ended is changed to the auction start time, and the countdown to zero is used as the bidding method. This method is implemented in the following steps:

A. Register an auction item on the auction platform executed by the server, and set the maximum number of applicants participating in the auction item, the deadline for bidding event registration, the start time of the auction event, and the countdown time; B. The buyer through the mobile or computer The auction platform executed by the server will register to participate in the product auction; C. accept the buyer's registration before the maximum number of applicants for the auctioned goods and the deadline for bidding for the auction; D. When the current time reaches the auction start time, the auction will start, the servo The auction platform executed by the terminal starts counting down according to the set countdown time; E. If the first countdown counts back to zero, is there any someone who bids for the price? If no one bids, the auction ends, no purchase of this auction item; if yes, execute Step F; F. Restart the countdown; G. The server transmits the current bid amount through the Internet to all PCs or mobile systems that are registered to participate in the bidder; H. Whether the servo receives before the countdown is zeroed Responding to the bidding request from the PC or mobile system through the Internet to receive the bidder; if so, repeat the step F;. I When the servo end of the countdown to zero, if nobody outcry auction ends, and with the last outcry to those who bought the amount of the outcry auction items.

Further, in steps E and H, the bid price must be higher than the amount screamed by the previous bidder.

The effect of the invention is:

1. Because each auction item has a limited number of applicants and only the applicants are allowed to participate in the bidding price of the auction item, those who are interested in the auction item must compete for the opportunity to participate in the bidding when the number of applicants is limited. Increased the number of people who participated in the auction for each auction item.

2. Due to the end of the auction activity, the use of the countdown after the bidding price increases the incentive of the auction activity, and also makes the bidders do not hesitate too much time, thus increasing the number of bids.

The invention can make more bidders bidding on the auction platform by means of pre-registration before the bidding and the end of the bidding event, and then increase the auction platform profit or reduce the loss. .

In summary of the above technical features, the main effects of the present invention, which only allows the applicant to participate in the bidding commodity auction method, can be clearly presented in the following embodiments.

Referring to the first figure, the present invention provides a method for a plurality of buyer computer terminals (1) and a plurality of buyer mobile terminals (2) to log in to a server (3) via the Internet to register for online auction.

B. The registration is completed by the aforementioned buyer computer end (1) or the buyer mobile end (2) before the deadline for registration of the auction item (41), without exceeding the upper limit of the number of participants.

C. After the auction activity starts, the servo terminal (3) will start counting down. If the first countdown is zero, if no one bids, then the auction ends and no one buys the auction item.

D. If someone bids, the server (3) restarts to count down.

E. The server (3) transmits the current bid amount through the Internet to all of the buyer's computer (1) and buyer's mobile (2) systems that are registered to participate in the bidder.

F. Before the countdown is zeroed, does the server (3) receive the request for bidding by the buyer's computer (1) or the buyer's mobile (2) system through the Internet; if yes, repeat Perform step D.

G. Before the countdown is zeroed, the server (3) will bid if it does not receive the request to bid for the bidder to request the bidder from the buyer's computer (1) or the buyer's mobile (2) system via the Internet.

B. When the current time reaches the auction start time shown in the second figure, 2017/08/16 18:00:00, the auction event begins. The servo terminal (3) starts counting down, and the countdown time is 10 seconds from the countdown time shown in the second figure. If no one bids when the first countdown is zeroed, no auction will be purchased for the auction. C. If the bidder is bidding before the countdown to zero, the buyer (3) or the buyer's mobile (2) sends a call for the server (3), then the server (3) counts down again. The timing is 10 seconds, and the server (3) transmits the current bid amount through the Internet to all the buyers' computer (1) and buyer's mobile (2) systems that are registered to the bidder. Before the countdown is zeroed, the server (3) repeats step C if it receives a request from the buyer's computer (1) or the buyer's mobile (2) system to make a bid through the Internet.
