Secret auction product auction method and system

The present invention relates to an auction method and system for secret bidding, in particular, all bid amounts are not displayed when bidding, and only show the current single highest bid amount or the earliest of the highest bids. The buyer's nickname of the bid amount, through the secret bidding auction mechanism, so that the buyer is not disturbed, can objectively bid, the seller can pre-set the starting price of the auction item to avoid the loss of the low-priced bid, and the auction system website can A certain amount of auction processing fee is charged, so as to satisfy the auction system and auction method of the buyer, seller and auction system website.

The current popular online auctions are already one of the most popular ways of e-commerce business model. Buyers can bid according to their demand and acceptable amount, and enjoy the interest of bidding. Today's online auction is the most popular. The common way of trading is for the buyer to bid on the goods, the bidding is won by the buyer with the highest bid amount, or the bidding method of the price-killing network, bidding by the buyer to kill the price, the buyer must first kill the price first. Paying the premium, although the buyer has the opportunity to get the auctioned goods at a lower price, but may have paid a considerable amount of royalties, but still failed to win the bid, and the premium paid can not be retrieved, so the common auction There are shortcomings in trading speculation or unfairness.

Therefore, there is a new type of M361067 "Art Auction Platform" patent case announced by the Republic of China on July 11, 1998, which exposes an art auction platform for at least one buyer to trade the seller's artwork; The auction platform includes a member database, an art database, a front-end system, and a back-end system; the member database is used to store the member account information of the seller and at least one buyer. The art database is used to store artwork about the artwork; the front-end system contains login modules and artwork Bidding module; the login module is used for the seller to log in with at least one buyer with their corresponding member account data; the art bidding module is used for bidding by at least one buyer; the background system includes art management module; art The product management module is used by the seller to manage the artwork.

However, in the above patent case, all sellers and buyers are transparent and open. Therefore, there are often some well-known large-scale financial households who make vicious bids for certain hot products, that is, they continue to carry out their financial resources. Targeting, crowding out other bidders to bid for opportunities. Over time, other bidders will be willing to give up bidding when they see the bidding records of these well-known large households in the online auction system, so it is easy to cause unfairness.

Therefore, there is a new type of M436199 "bidding system" patent case announced by the Republic of China on August 21, 101. It reveals that the subscript can bid for goods through the Internet connection, which includes: a server, a An alias selection module, a subscript recording module, a winning determination module, and a message display module. The server is configured to store related information of the commodity; the alias selection module automatically displays a menu with an alias for the subscripter to select and subscript before the subscripter performs the subscript; the subscript record The module records the subscript number of the subscript and changes the bid price of the product in sequence, sets it as the current bid price and stores it in the server; the winning decision module is connected to the server, according to the bidding The last subscript amount at the end of the time is used as the bid price; and the message display module is connected to the server to provide the latest activity information of the subscript; by using the alias to select the module, the subscript can be changed each time. The name of the subscript can effectively curb the vicious bidding behavior to achieve the fairness of the bidding. The information display module can also be used to attract relevant bidders by occasionally organizing relevant activities and rewarding the bidders. More bidders come to bid, increasing the popularity of the bidding system, and also providing opportunities for subscripts to diversify their choice of goods.

However, in the above patent case, the bid amount for each subscript is announced, so it is easy for the interested person or seller to arbitrarily raise the bid price to avoid the bid price being too low; and the system does not limit the bid price, so there is The price of the target may be much lower than the price of the auctioned product, but it will As a serious loss to the seller, there are unfavorable factors for the buyer or the seller, and the effect is not good when used.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned auction methods or systems, which have the above-mentioned various kinds of defects, the present invention provides a secret bidding product auction method, which is characterized in that at least one seller or at least one buyer respectively initiates an electronic processing. And accessing an auction system through an internet; the auction system confirms its membership and separately gives the seller and the buyer an exclusive name to replace the real name of the seller and the buyer respectively And as an auction bidding process for the buyer; the auction system begins to execute the auction process; the seller selects at least one auction item, displays it on the electronic processing device, and sets a reserve price for the auction item The bid price and a bidding period; the buyer inputs a bid amount through the electronic processing device, and the auction system compares whether the bid is the single highest bid amount or the earliest bid amount of the highest one, the auction The system will only display the single highest bid amount or the buyer of the first highest bid amount in the highest number, but not Demonstrating the reserve price, the bid price and the bid amount; if the bidding period of the auction item has expired, and the bid amount is equal to or greater than the bid price, the auction system determines that the single highest bid amount is Buyers who have the highest number of the highest bids have won the bid.

The above auction system sends an e-mail to the winner of the bid to inform the bidder and the winning bid for the single highest bid amount or the highest one of the highest bid amounts.

The above auction system charges an auction fee for the seller who wins the bid.

The single highest bid amount or the first highest bid amount is less than the set bid price, or there is no bid in the auction process, and the auction system determines that it is a stream bid.

Each time the above bid amount is the first single highest bid amount or the earliest bid amount of the highest number, but not the last winning bidder, the auction system will give a reward.

The above reward method is one of or a combination of bonus points, gifts, gifts or money.
