Group purchase transaction method that provides discounts for goods in different time segments, and can be read Record media, computer program products and systems

The present invention relates to a group purchase transaction method and system, and more particularly to a group purchase transaction method and system for providing discounts for goods in different time segments.

Group purchase is to collect a number of consumers who have the same purchase demand, and together with the manufacturer to make an order for bulk purchase. This purchase method has been a common commodity trading method because it can accumulate more funds and can prompt manufacturers to provide more favorable prices.

In recent years, due to the prevalence of the Internet, it has become easier and faster for group purchases to quickly recruit many Internet users who do not know each other but have the same purchase requirements, and become a very popular online transaction method. At present, there are many operators who design many suitable platforms and trading methods for online group purchases. For example, there are the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 201032161 "Online Group Buying Platform and Group Buying Method", and 201351330 "Secondary Group Buying Auction Method".

However, the above-mentioned group purchase platform and group purchase transaction method can provide a group purchase discount with a single choice and no diversification, and can not effectively play the characteristics of group purchase transaction mode, and it is difficult to attract more network users to choose group purchase.

Therefore, in order to make the online group purchase transaction method more diversified and close to the needs of different consumers, the inventor is devoted to research and proposes a group purchase transaction method for providing goods with discounts at different time sections for making plural numbers. The buyer computer is connected to an auction platform provided by a server. The auction platform provides at least one product data; each product information includes a sales time and a plurality of discount options, and each discount option has a pickup time. Conditions and a group purchase quantity condition, the pick-up time condition is the time for each item to be received after the transaction is established, and the group purchase quantity condition is whether the quantity of each item reaches a specific group purchase quantity, and the discount of each discount option mentioned above The degree is different according to the above-mentioned pick-up time conditions and the above-mentioned group purchase quantity conditions, and then the following steps are performed: A. The aforementioned buyer computer selects one of the discount options, and inputs a purchase quantity corresponding to one of the aforementioned discount options. B. When the sum of the purchase quantity satisfies the condition of the group purchase quantity, the servo host makes corresponding The transaction of the discount option is established; or at the end of the sales time, the server compares the sum of the purchase quantities in each discount option, so that the sum of the purchase quantity satisfies the discount option of the group purchase quantity condition; After the time has elapsed, the discount option that has not been established will be offset against the buyer’s computer that provides the aforementioned discount option based on the payment record, which is used to offset the purchase of other products.

Further, the degree of discount of the aforementioned discount option is gradually increased as the aforementioned pickup time increases.

Further, the discount degree of the aforementioned discount option is gradually increased as the number of group purchases mentioned above increases.

Further, in step B, the aforementioned buyer computer is required to provide a payment record before the end of the sales time, and the purchase amount of the aforementioned buyer computer can be included in the statistics.

The present invention is also a group purchase transaction system that provides discounts for goods offered in different time segments, and uses the aforementioned group purchase transaction method for providing goods with discounts at different time segments, including: a processing unit; a database group Connecting the processing unit, comprising a product database and a group purchase application database, wherein the product database is to store the information of the goods, the foregoing sales time, the foregoing price, and the foregoing discount option, and the group purchase application database stores each buyer The computer inputs the data of the purchase quantity; a transaction subsystem, connected to the processing unit, comprising a timing module, a statistical module, a verification module and a refund module, wherein the timing module is used in the sales time At the end, the statistical module is configured to count the sum of the purchase quantities in each discount option, and the verification module compares the sum of the purchase quantities and the group purchase quantity conditions in each discount option, and makes the sum of the purchase quantities satisfy the group purchase quantity condition. The discount option is established. The refund module is based on the payment record and will be provided after the sales time has elapsed. Easy to set up computer buyer of the option of a discount off against gold, the gold is used for set off against a set off against the purchase of other goods.

Further, the transaction subsystem further includes a payment confirmation module for incorporating the purchase quantity of the aforementioned buyer computer into the statistics when receiving a payment record. This avoids the inclusion of a buyer's computer that may cancel the purchase.

The effect of the invention is:

1. The invention can provide various conditional options for various group purchase discounts, and the platform can give consumers different discounts according to the time of picking up the goods, and on the other hand, the seller can allocate the quantity of the sold goods according to the demand of the production schedule, without There is a situation of short supply, and on the other hand, consumers can choose discount conditions according to their urgency for the demand of goods, so that the group purchase method can provide consumers with more intimate and diverse choices to attract more consumers.

2. The group purchase transaction method of the present invention can provide a refund or a one-off refund to a consumer who has not made a discount option when the group purchase transaction cannot be established, and the discount is used as a discount for the purchase of other commodities. In this way, after the consumer receives the refund, the buyer's computer can still be attracted to the same purchase platform.

3. The present invention provides a payment confirmation module for including whether the group purchase record is actually available for purchase, thereby avoiding the inclusion of a buyer computer that may cancel the purchase.
