Description

Screening the successful bidder's commodity auction transaction method through the system automatically accumulating the bid price

The invention relates to an auction bidding method which can automatically accumulate the amount of bidding through the auction system, does not have to wait for the buyer to bid, and raises the number of bids.

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. The most common way to trade online auctions today is for buyers to bid on auction items, which are awarded by the buyer with the highest bid amount. Or, as for the bidding method of the price-cutting network, bidding by the buyer’s price, the buyer must pay the premium first. Although the buyer has the opportunity to obtain the auctioned goods at a lower price, it may have paid a considerable amount of royalties, but still failed to win the bid, and the premium paid could not be retrieved. Therefore, the common auction methods also have the disadvantage of trading speculation or unfairness.

Therefore, there is a patent case of the invention No. I451348 entitled “Method for generating a reasonable online auction” announced on September 1, 103 of the Republic of China. The system discloses that the following steps are performed by a network platform: providing an auction item; setting a bidding condition range, a minimum number of bids, and a subscripting time of the auction item; opening the subscript of the auction item; when the subscripting time ends And when the minimum number of scalars is met, an average price integration procedure is performed: summing the bid amounts of all subscripts to generate an average value; finding the only one of the total bid amounts and the closest to the average is the winner; The average price integration procedure uses the only highest price below the average as the priority bid condition. The use of the foregoing method can improve the shortcomings of traditional auctions that can only be obtained by the highest bidders, and eliminate the consumers' doubts about the fairness and price rationality of participating in the bidding, thereby achieving the purpose of mutual benefit.

However, during the auction of the above-mentioned patents, many buyers often bid at the end of the bidding period, which is unfair to the buyers who often bid, and the bidding amount of the auctioned goods is not easy. Shouting high may result in poor profit or loss for the seller.

In addition, there is a patent case entitled "Method for automatically extending the bidding period in an auction system using a computer network", as disclosed in the Invention No. 490628 of the Republic of China on June 11, 1991, which discloses: using a computer network system to implement online The method of auction includes the following steps: (a) providing information on an auction end time and an item to be auctioned to the purchaser: (b) at least one or more purchasers bid for the item: (c) checking whether A new bid appears within one of the pre-determined time periods before the end of the auction: (d) if a new bid appears within one of the pre-determined periods before the end of the auction, the bid period is extended, otherwise the bid is The end of the auction ends. In this way, regardless of the time at which the auction ends, a purchaser who wants to purchase the merchandise can have the greatest chance of bidding for the merchandise, and a seller can sell its merchandise at the highest price.

However, the above-mentioned patent predecessor, regardless of any person who proposes a new bid within a predetermined time period, will extend the bidding time and anyone can participate in the bidding again. In this way, it is unfair to the purchaser who has a large number of bids, and it is easy to be manipulated or delayed by the intentional person, and the improper bidding method is used to extend the bidding time, thereby destroying the rules of the bidding, so that it is not ideal in use.

Therefore, in view of the current auction bidding transaction method has the above disadvantages. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for auctioning a commodity auction of a successful bidder through a system, including the following steps: A. At least one seller electronic processing device and at least one buyer electronic processing device are respectively connected to an auction system. B. The seller's electronic processing device registers an item for auction in the auction system, and sets a bid price, a bid period, a registration time, a minimum number of buyers, and a bid amount. The auction system performs a bidding process. After the program, the registration time starts counting, and any buyer electronic processing device accepts the bid price, and can be registered as one of the bid winners of the product. C. At the registration time At the end of the process, if the number of buyers who are candidates for the bidding does not reach the minimum number of buyers, the registration time is automatically repeated. The electronic processing device of the buyer who has not yet become the candidate for the bid can continue to register. The winning candidate. D. Until the number of buyers who become the winner of the bid, the auction system will automatically accumulate at least one of the bidding amount for the bidding price and become a bid amount, which has become The buyer electronic processing device of the winning candidate may register to maintain the qualification of the winning candidate after accepting the bid amount. E. Until the end of the bidding period, the number of buyers who have registered as the winner of the bid is one, and the auction system judges that the winner is the winner. If the number of buyers is zero, the buyer is judged as the bidder, the buyer If the number is 2 or more, the bidding bid will be started, and the highest bidder will judge the winning bid.

In the above step E, the bidding bid is started, and a bidding time is extended, and the electronic processing device of the buyer who has become the bidding candidate currently turns the bidding in the order of registration until the end of the bidding time. At that time, the electronic processing device of the buyer with the highest bid price becomes the winner of the commodity.

After the above step E has been awarded by any buyer electronic processing device, the electronic processing device of the buyer must fulfill the obligation to pay, and the seller's electronic processing device must fulfill the responsibility for the shipment of the auctioned goods, and the auction system will The transaction processing fee and the merchandise racking fee are charged to the buyer electronic processing device and the seller electronic processing device respectively.

According to the above technical features, the following advantages are obtained:

1. Through the system to automatically accumulate the amount of the call, you do not have to wait for the buyer's bid, you can increase the amount of the bid.

2. The buyer can register as a bid winner according to the acceptable bid price to encourage the buyer to register the bid at the beginning, and the buyer continues to register for the acceptable bid amount to maintain the possession of the commodity. Eligibility for candidates to ensure that they have the opportunity to participate in the final bid.

3. By setting the minimum number of buyers for each registration to become a bid winner for the product, except Maintaining the buyer's bidding on the number of products can also effectively increase the amount of accumulated bids.

4. When the time for registration as a candidate for the product is completed, if it is less than the minimum number of buyers, the registration time will be automatically extended to maintain the size of the number of people bidding for the product.

5. Buyers who must become candidates for the product within the registration time are eligible to continue to participate in the next stage of registration to maintain the qualifications of the current product winners to encourage buyers to continue to participate in the bidding activities.

6. When the bidding period ends, if there are 2 or more bid winners, the bidding candidates will bid for the bidding, and the bidding activity of the buyer can be provided freely to determine the final merchandise. Winning bidder.

7. The auction system operator can obtain the handling fee for the product settlement or the cost of the goods to maintain the operation of the auction system and ensure the fairness of the auction bid.

Referring to the first figure and the second figure, the embodiment of the present invention is a method for automatically auctioning bidders through the system to filter the bidder's merchandise auction transaction method, which is jointly executed by an auction system, and includes the following steps. ,among them:

A. At least one seller electronic processing device and at least one buyer electronic processing device are separately connected to an auction system via an internet connection. Any seller or buyer can initiate an electronic processing device and then connect to the server host of the auction system through the Internet. After the identity confirmation, the seller electronic processing device can target the auction system. The auction item within the bid is made. As shown in the third figure, the electronic processing device of the embodiment can be a desktop computer (11), a notebook type. a computer (12), a tablet (13) or a smart phone (14), and the seller (A) and the buyer (B) can use any of the above electronic processing devices to access the Internet (2) Log in to the auction system of the server host (3).

B. The seller's electronic processing device registers an item for auction in the auction system, and sets a bid price, a bid period, a registration time, a minimum number of buyers, and a bid amount. The auction system will perform a bid. program. After the seller logs the product into the auction system, the bid price can be set, and the bid price can be regarded as the minimum transaction amount. The bidding period is the entire bidding time of the product. If the bidding period is reached, the bidding is ended and the winner is determined. In addition, the registration time is for each buyer to obtain the qualification of the candidate for the product after the start of the bidding, before the registration time expires. The minimum number of buyers means that the number of people must be set before the bidding process for automatically accumulating the amount of the bidding can be continued. The accumulated bidding amount is that the auction system automatically accumulates the bid amount every time. In this embodiment, the starting price of the commodity is set to 10 yuan, and the bidding period is 5 days. The registration time for registering the bidding candidate for the commodity is 1 hour, and the minimum number of registered minimum buyers is 5 digits. The bidding amount is automatically increased by 10 yuan each time the auction system automatically accumulates. After the seller completes the setting, the bidding process will be executed through the auction system. After the start of the bidding process, the registration time begins to be counted, and any buyer electronic processing device accepts the bid price, and can be registered as one of the bid winners of the product.

C. At the end of the registration period, if the number of buyers who have become candidates for the product does not reach the minimum number of buyers, the registration time is automatically repeated. After the auction system executes the bidding process for the item, the item can begin accepting all buyers to register as the winning candidate for the item. All the buyer's electronic processing devices can log in to the auction system and can see the detailed information of the product. If the buyer's electronic processing device can accept the current starting price of the product 10, the auction system can be registered as the The winner of the product. If the number of buyers who are registered as bid winners for the product is less than 5 when the registration time is 1 hour, the auction system The registration time will be automatically extended to 1 hour for the buyer's electronic processing device that has not yet become the winner of the bid, and can be re-registered as a bid winner for the item.

D. Until the number of buyers who are the winners of the product, the auction system will automatically accumulate the amount of the bid until the end of the bid period. After the registration time is extended to one hour, the number of buyers who have become the bid winners of the product exceeds the set number of the minimum number of buyers by five or more, and the automatic extension of the registration time is stopped. Buyers who have already registered as candidates for the product can continue to participate in the next stage of the bidding process, while other buyers who are not registered as candidates for the product can not participate in the next stage of the bidding process. . The auction system will automatically accumulate the bidding amount of 10 yuan, so that the current bid amount of the commodity becomes 20 yuan, and the bidder who has previously registered as the bid of the commodity can continue to bid for the bid amount of 20 yuan. . If the buyer who has become the winning candidate can accept the bid amount of the current product as 20, the auction system can be input to the auction system via the buyer electronic processing device to accept the current bid amount. Then, the buyer's electronic processing device is not registered again to maintain the winning candidate for the product. Until the number of buyers who have become the bid winners of the product exceeds the set number of the minimum number of buyers, the auction system will automatically accumulate the bid amount of 10 yuan again, so that the current bid of the item If the amount of money becomes 30 yuan, and the buyer electronic processing device that has become the winning candidate again, the registration is continued to maintain the qualification of the candidate for the product, and the registration is stopped until the end of the bidding period. Target candidates.

E. Until the end of the bidding period, the number of buyers who have registered as candidates for the product is one, and the winner is the winner. The number of buyers is 0, and the number of buyers is 2. For the above, the bidding bid is opened, and the highest bidder is the winning bid. When the bidding period is over, the auction system will determine who the winning bidder is based on the number of buyers who have finally registered as bid winners for the item. If the number of buyers of the winning candidate is 1, then it is judged to be the winner. If the number of buyers is 0, it is judged as a flow indicator, and the bidding process will be ended. And if the number of buyers is 2 In the first case, the bidding bid is started, and a time for bidding is extended. The buyer who is currently the earliest registered product of the product to be the winner of the bid will start to bid first according to the current highest bid amount, and then register by the second time. The buyer bidding for the candidate is in turn, and all buyers are in the process of bidding, until the end of the bidding time, that is, the buyer with the highest bid is the winner of the commodity. At the same time, the winning buyer must fulfill the obligation to pay, and the seller must fulfill the responsibility of auctioning the goods. The auction system will charge buyers and sellers a transaction fee or a shelf fee.

However, the above description is only one of the embodiments of the present invention. When the scope of the patent application of the present invention is not limited thereto, the simple equivalent changes and substitutions made by the scope of the patent application and the contents of the specification of the present invention are It is still within the scope of the protection covered by the scope of the invention.
