Hereinafter, a joint purchase counting apparatus and a joint purchase counting method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

Referring to FIG. 1, a joint purchase counting system including a joint purchase counting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal 100, a joint purchase counting apparatus 200, and a seller terminal 300.

The user terminal 100 may be a terminal of a plurality of users. That is, the user terminal 100 may be plural. Each user may use at least one user terminal 100. That is, one user may use the plurality of user terminals 100. However, it is not limited thereto. Although four user terminals are illustrated in FIG. 1, this is merely an example and is not limited thereto.

The user terminal 100 may be a device using a network. The user terminal 100 may be, for example, an electronic device that can use a smartphone, a smart pad, a computer, a notebook, a tablet PC, a smart television, or other network. However, it is not limited thereto. The user terminal 100 may be a terminal that can be carried according to its form, or may be a terminal that is installed at a fixed position.

The network used by the user terminal 100 may be a wired network, a wireless network, or a combination thereof. Each user terminal 100 may communicate with the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 using the network.

The user terminal 100 may access the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 through a network. The user terminal 100 may transmit information about a user who uses the user terminal 100 to the joint purchase counting apparatus 200.

After receiving the information on the user, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may create an account for the user, and the user terminal 100 may access the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 by using the same.

There may be a plurality of users, and all of the users may be included in the same group. The group may be, for example, a company, a school, a fellowship, a club, a college, a department, a society, a class, a group, or a group. However, it is not limited thereto. That is, the group is not particularly limited as long as users belonging to the group are willing to make a joint purchase with each other at the same time. For example, when students of the same department co-purchase uniforms, the students may belong to the user.

The user may include a establisher and a participant. The establisher may have a right to open a joint purchase through his user terminal 100. On the other hand, the participant may participate in the joint purchase established by the founder through his user terminal 100 and apply for a purchase, but does not have the authority to open the purchase. In the case of joint purchase of students of the same department, the department representative may correspond to the founder, and the remaining students may correspond to the participants.

For the purpose of explanation, it is assumed that the first user terminal 100a of FIG. 1 is the establisher user terminal, and the second to fourth user terminals 100b to 100d of FIG. 1 are the user terminal of the participant.

The user terminal 100 may transmit a purchase establishment request and a purchase application to the joint purchase counting apparatus 200. The purchase establishment request may be based on the first user terminal 100a of the user who is the establisher. In addition, the purchase application may be based on the second to fourth user terminals (100b ~ 100d) of the user who is a participant.

The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may receive information about a user from the user terminal 100. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may collect information about the user from the plurality of user terminals 100. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may classify the user into one of the establisher and the participant by using the information about the user.

The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may receive information on goods or services from the seller terminal 300. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may transmit the information on the goods or services back to the user terminal.

The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may receive a purchase establishment request and a purchase request from the user terminal 100 and may aggregate the joint purchase accordingly. The term 'aggregation' means determining the quantity and details of the goods or services subject to the joint purchase. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may request the seller terminal 300 to provide goods or services based on the counted result.

The seller terminal 300 may be a terminal of a plurality of sellers. That is, the seller terminal 300 may be a plurality. Each seller may use at least one seller terminal 300. That is, one seller may use the plurality of seller terminals 300. However, it is not limited thereto.

The seller terminal 300 may transmit information about goods or services to the joint purchase counting device. The information on the goods or services may include at least one of a name, a price, a quantity available, and details of the goods or services.

The seller terminal 300 may be a device using a network, such as the user terminal 100. The seller terminal 300 may be, for example, an electronic device that may use a smartphone, a smart pad, a computer, a laptop, a tablet PC, a smart television, or other network. However, it is not limited thereto. Seller terminal 300 may be a terminal that can be carried according to its form, or may be a terminal installed in a fixed position.

The network used by the seller terminal 300 may be a wired network, a wireless network, or a combination thereof. Each seller terminal 300 may communicate with the joint purchase counting device 200 using the network.

2 to 7, the operation of the joint purchase counting system of FIG. 1 and the joint purchase counting method of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation between each component of the joint purchase counting system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the joint purchase counting apparatus of FIG. 1. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a classification step of FIG. 3 in detail.

2 and 3, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives information on a user from the user terminal 100 (S100).

The user terminal 100 may include a user terminal 100 of a establisher user and a user terminal 100 of a user who is a participant. Accordingly, information about all users may be transmitted to the joint purchase counting device 200 without distinguishing between the establisher and the participant.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may classify the user into one of the establisher and the participant (S200).

The establisher and the participant may be classified by the joint purchase counting device 200. The manner of classification is not particularly limited.

For example, when the user transmits the information about the user to the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 through the user terminal 100, the user may select whether the user is an establisher or a participant.

Alternatively, the joint purchase apparatus 200 may perform the classification after the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives the information about the user from the user terminal 100. For example, a user who receives the information about the user by the joint purchase apparatus 200 may first classify the user as a participant. Later, when the user transmits a purchase establishment request through the user terminal 100, the user may be reclassified as an establisher. In this case, the user may have the authority of the establisher at any time according to the user's intention.

If the establisher is made at the user's intention as described above, the user may be reclassified as a participant when the established joint purchase procedure is terminated. That is, in principle, they can be classified as a participant and only when they open a joint purchase. In other words, a user may in principle be classified as a participant and may be classified as an establisher when the user desires. However, this is merely an example and is not limited thereto.

That is, in another embodiment, authentication or consent of another participant may be required to be classified as the establisher. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may reduce the amount of computation by preventing indiscriminate opening of the joint purchase indiscriminately through such authentication. Through the co-purchase aggregation device 200 may be authenticated that he is the establisher. The authentication method is not particularly limited. For example, the authentication may be a method in which the participant authenticates the establisher through the user terminal 100 of the participant.

Alternatively, the establisher may be authenticated by matching the database stored in advance in the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 with information about the establisher's user. The database may include information about a group including the users. Thus, when in a certain position in the group, the participants may be authenticated as being authorized by the founder.

Alternatively, both methods may be used. That is, in principle, it is the principle of authenticating the establisher by matching the information about the database and the user of the establisher, but if the matching is impossible, for example, if there is no database, the establisher through consent or authentication of the participants. Can be authenticated. Alternatively, it is possible to preferentially perform the consent or authentication of the participant, and if it is impossible to match the database.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a classification step of FIG. 3 in detail, and FIG. 5 is a diagram for describing an operation of matching information about a user and a database.

Referring to FIG. 4, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 matches a database with information about a user (S210).

In detail, referring to FIG. 5, since the database includes information about a group to which the user belongs, information about the user is also included. That is, the database may include personal information, affiliation information and other information of members of the group.

Assuming that the group is a university, the database may include personal information about the student, the affiliation information, and additional information. The personal information may include, for example, name, gender, identification number, address, entrance information (entrance department, entrance department, entrance classification) and personal account number information. However, it is not limited thereto.

The identification number may mean a series of IDs that can identify an individual. The identification number may include, for example, a social security number, an eyepin number or a student number.

The affiliation information may include information on a change in school, affiliation, major, subspecialty, position. At this time, the information on the position may be information that can determine whether the representative of the department, college, class.

The user information may include personal information and belonging information of the user. Accordingly, it is possible to match personal information of the user with personal information of the database. That is, the personal information may be used as an index for matching the information about the user and the database.

Again, referring to FIG. 4, the user is assigned to one of the establisher and the participant (S220).

Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, it is possible to compare or contrast affiliation information with each other based on information on a user who has already been matched with a database. In this case, the position information of the belonging information may determine whether the user is assigned to the establisher or the participant.

The manner of using the position information may not be specified. For example, the position information in the database can be used to pre-categorize the founder or participant's category in the first place. In this case, if the user information is received through the user terminal 100, the user's category may be determined through matching with the database. However, it is not limited thereto.

2 and 3 again, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives information on goods or services from the seller terminal 300 (S300).

In FIG. 2, the step S300 of receiving information on an item or a service is performed later than the step S100 of receiving information on a user from the user terminal 100 and classifying the establisher and the participant S200. Although shown, it is not limited thereto. That is, the step S300 of receiving information on the goods or services may be performed before or simultaneously with the steps S100 and S200.

The information on the goods or services may be information about the goods or services sold by the seller. There are a plurality of sellers, and each seller may sell at least one article or service. Thus, the information on the goods or services may be information on a plurality of goods or services.

When the group to which the user belongs is a university, for example, group baseball jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, windbreakers, group clothing, alcoholic beverages used in festival taverns, food, disposables, tents, festival articles, etc. It may include major textbooks and supplementary textbooks used in lectures, qualification test books in the suburbs, and books for language study. However, it is not limited thereto.

When the group to which the user belongs is a university, the service may include, for example, a course ticket, a travel product, and a ticket. However, it is not limited thereto.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 transmits the goods or service information to the user terminal 100 of the user who is the establisher (S400).

In detail, referring to FIG. 1, information on an article or a service may be displayed on the first user terminal 100a which is the user terminal 100 of the user who is the establisher. The information may be displayed on a web page, an application, or a program execution screen. The screen may include an image of an item, a price discount rate, or an item or service.

Information on the goods or services may vary for each seller. That is, it may be information on which seller provides which pool and services at which price. However, it is not limited thereto.

The product areas P1 and P2 may be divided into items of respective goods or services. When the establisher user selects an item of each item or service in the user terminal 100, details thereof may be displayed. In addition, when a user who is an establisher selects an item of each item or service in the user terminal 100, a screen for requesting to open a purchase may be presented.

Subsequently, a purchase establishment request is received from the user terminal 100 of the user who is the establisher (S500).

The purchase establishment request may be a purchase establishment request for goods or services selected by the establisher. That is, the article or service information transmitted from the user terminal 100 of the user who is the establisher may be an article or service selected from the article or service information provided by the joint purchase counting apparatus 200. That is, the purchase establishment request may include goods or service information.

As described above, since the goods or service information may be different for each seller, the inclusion of the goods or service information in the purchase opening request also includes information about which seller's goods or services are targeted.

The purchase establishment request may be targeted to at least one item or service. That is, not only one item or service but also a plurality of items or services may be subject to a purchase opening request.

The purchase establishment request may include information of an entity that is a purchase agent of a joint purchase. In general, a joint purchase can be opened for a group to which the user who is the founder belongs. However, when the establisher user belongs to a plurality of groups, information on which group among a plurality of organizations to which the establisher user belongs may be subject to a joint purchase may be required.

The information on the group may be included when the information about the user is received in advance and stored in the joint purchase counting device 200 in advance. Alternatively, information about the group may be received in a request to open a purchase. That is, the reception of the information on the group may be performed in a plurality of steps. In such a case, when the information of the group received first and the information of the group received later are different, the latest information may be updated. The " update " includes adding new information to the original information and changing the original information to the new information. That is, the addition means that the new group is further included in the previously received group information, and the changing means removing the previously received group information and storing the new group information. Information on whether the update is an addition or a change may be received from the user terminal 100.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 opens a joint purchase (S600).

The joint purchase may be opened for goods or services received by the purchase opening request. As described above, the article or service may be one or plural.

As the joint purchase is opened, it may be possible to receive a purchase request from the user terminal 100 of a user who is a participant. That is, since the user who is a participant can access only the joint purchase opened in the user terminal 100, the user can participate in the joint purchase only for the goods or services that are the subject of the opened joint purchase.

6 is an exemplary view for explaining a web page displayed by the joint purchase counting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 illustrates a mobile page displayed by the joint purchase counting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention It is an exemplary figure for following.

1, 6 and 7, when the joint purchase is opened, information on goods or services may be displayed on the second to fourth user terminals 100b to 100d. The information may be displayed on a web page, an application, or a program execution screen. The screen may include product areas P1 and P2 including images of items or prices of goods or services, images of goods or services.

The product areas P1 and P2 may be divided into items of respective goods or services. When the user selects an item of each item or service, details thereof may be displayed or a screen for requesting to open a purchase may be displayed. However, it is not limited thereto.

In addition, the screens of the second to fourth user terminals 100b to 100d may include group areas G1 and G2 displaying a group in which a joint purchase is in progress. The group areas G1 and G2 may display all groups to which a user who is a participant belongs. Since a user who is a participant belongs to at least one group, a plurality of groups may be displayed when there are a plurality of groups to which the user as a participant belongs.

If the user has logged in using his or her account before, the product areas (P1, P2) can be displayed for all currently open co-purchases, and the group areas (G1, G2) open the current co-purchase. Can be displayed for all organizations. Since a user belonging to one organization may be the founder of another organization, the information of the joint purchase goods or services may be provided to induce the participation of the creator of the new joint purchase.

2 and 3 again, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 announces the joint purchase opened to the user terminal 100 of the user who is a participant (S700).

There is no particular limitation on the known manner. The notification may use any type of notification that can be displayed to the user terminal 100 of a user who is a participant, such as, for example, Internet mail, alarm, push, text message, telephone and messenger application notification.

The notification may include information, price information, and discount information on goods or services that are subject to a joint purchase. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the information item may be added or reduced as necessary.

The notification may include access information for accessing the joint purchase. The access information may be information in a link form that directly accesses a web page, a program, or an application.

Subsequently, the purchase request for the joint purchase is received from the user terminal 100 of the user who is the participant (S800).

A user who is a participant may apply for a purchase through the user terminal 100. The purchase application may be a purchase application corresponding to the established joint purchase. That is, it may be an application for purchase of goods or services specified by the user who is the founder.

Receiving the purchase request may include receiving details about the joint purchase. Since there are a plurality of users who are participants, the receiving of the purchase request may be to receive a purchase request from the user terminal 100 of the user who is the plurality of participants.

The details may mean, for example, the capacity, type, color, and shape of the article or service, and the quantity of each of the article or service determined accordingly. Since the above details are merely examples, other details may be added or reduced according to each item or service.

For example, if the article is a single jumper, the details may be in the form of (advanced / stall), style (general / slim), pocket, button color, torso color, arm color, embroidery, wrist carved initials and the like. It may include the quantity of each of the single group jumper determined accordingly.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 counts and confirms the purchase application for the joint purchase (S900).

The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may determine details of the goods or services of the joint purchase. Through the confirmation, the final purchase quantity of the goods or services can be counted and confirmed.

Existing co-purchasing had a great deal of burden on the co-purchasing representatives. Specifically, the purchasing representative had to investigate the seller for the necessary goods and select the optimal seller through price negotiation for each seller.

On the contrary, in the joint purchase counting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the joint purchase counting apparatus has already completed the investigation and comparison of the companies and provides the same to the user terminal 100 of the user who is the founder. The above process can be replaced by simple steps that the user makes.

In addition, the existing purchasing representative should select the seller and notify the members participating in the joint purchase, and investigate the demand to confirm the required quantity and details of the required goods or services.

On the contrary, in the joint purchase counting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the joint purchase counting apparatus does not request the purchase request through the user terminal 100 of the user who is the participant, rather than through the user terminal 100 of the user who is the establisher. By receiving, the procedure is simplified and the burden on the establisher can be significantly reduced.

As a participant, there is no additional process compared to the existing process, but the information provided is richer. In addition, by simplifying the path of information delivery, the reliability of the information may be increased, thereby reducing the time required for the joint purchase. In addition, even if the opinion on the purchase intention and details of the user who is the participant changes, it may be easy to directly reflect the opinion of the participant by directly modifying it until the joint purchase is confirmed.

Specifically, the aggregation of the details of the goods and services that are the subject of the joint purchase in the joint purchase was the most difficult part for the purchase representative. The details of the goods and services may be different for each goods and services, and communication errors are easy to occur because the details of the participants of the joint purchase must be collected over a period of time rather than being aggregated at one time.

On the contrary, since the joint purchase counting method according to an embodiment of the present invention is automatically counted when information is input to the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 through the user terminal 100, errors in communication about the details are provided. There is no room for it. That is, the user's intention may be reflected as it is, regardless of whether there are many items of details and few.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 transmits a request for providing goods or services to the seller terminal 300 based on the counting (S1000).

The offer request may include confirmed details about the article or service. Seller terminal 300 may receive the offer request. Seller terminal 300 may prepare the goods or services to be sold by ordering the offer request.

The offer request may include payment for the seller. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may further include receiving payment from users so as to correspond to the above payment.

Subsequently, the seller terminal 300 provides the requested item or service to the user terminal 100 of a user who is a participant (S1100).

When the goods or services requested to be provided are provided in electronic money that can use or authenticate the service, the seller terminal 300 may directly transmit them to the user terminal 100.

If the goods or services requested to be provided are goods, the seller may provide the goods or services in the form of delivery using information about the user.

8 and 9, a joint purchase counting apparatus and a joint purchase counting method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Descriptions overlapping with the above-described embodiments will be briefly or omitted.

8 is a structural diagram illustrating a joint purchase counting system including a joint purchase counting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the joint purchase counting apparatus of FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 8, a joint purchase counting system including a joint purchase counting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a first group user terminal 100 and a second group user terminal 100-1.

The first group user terminal 100 is a user terminal of users belonging to the first group. The first group may be a group distinct from the second group. For example, the first group may be a company, school, club, club, college, department, society, class, group, or group. However, it is not limited thereto.

For the purpose of explanation, it is assumed that the first user terminal 100a of the first group of FIG. 8 is the establisher user terminal, and the second to fourth user terminals 100b-100d of the first group of FIG. 8 are the user terminal of the participant. Assume that

The second group user terminal 100-1 is user terminals of users belonging to the second group. The second group may be a group distinct from the first group. For example, the second group may be a company, school, club, club, college, department, society, class, group, or group. However, it is not limited thereto.

For the purpose of explanation, it is assumed that the first user terminal 100a-1 of the second group of FIG. 8 is the establisher user terminal, and the second to fourth user terminals 100b-1-100d-1 of the second group of FIG. 8. ) Is assumed to be a user terminal of the participant.

Referring to FIG. 9, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives information about a user from the user terminal 100 (S100).

Specifically, referring to FIG. 8, the first and second groups of users may include a first establisher and a second establisher, respectively. In addition, the first and second groups of users may each include a first participant and a second participant. Accordingly, information about all users may be transmitted to the joint purchase counting device 200 without distinguishing between the establisher and the participant.

Referring back to FIG. 9, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may classify the user into one of the establisher and the participant (S200).

Specifically, referring to FIG. 8, the first group may include a first establisher and a first participant, and the second group may include a second establisher and a second participant. The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may classify the user of the first group into any one of the first establisher and the first participant, and classify the user of the second group into any one of the second establisher and the second participant.

Referring back to FIG. 9, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives a first purchase establishment request for a first item or service from a first group user terminal 100 of a user who is a first establisher (S510). Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 opens the first joint purchase (S610). In operation S810, a first purchase request for the first joint purchase is received from the first group user terminal 100 of the user who is the first participant.

Similarly to the above steps, the joint purchase process may be independently performed for the second group. In detail, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 receives a second purchase opening request for a second item or service from the second group user terminal 100-1 of the user who is the second establisher (S520). Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 opens a second joint purchase (S620). In operation S820, a second purchase request for the second joint purchase is received from the second group user terminal 100-1 of the user who is the second participant.

Subsequently, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 determines whether the first article or service and the second article or service are the same (S910).

That is, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may determine whether the first joint purchase of the first group and the second joint purchase of the second group are the same. The " same " includes not only the goods or services that are exactly the same, but also similar enough that the seller can provide them at the same time.

As a result of the determination, when the first article or service and the second article or service are the same, the first and second purchase applications are added up and counted (S920).

The joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may process joint purchases of several groups in parallel. In the case of processing the joint purchase of several groups in parallel, there may be a case where a request for providing to the same seller terminal 300 for different joint purchases is required. In such a case, it may be advantageous to add up the joint purchase and make a request for provision in bulk purchase. That is, since the joint purchase is a system in which many people purchase the same goods or services at a low price, the discount rate may increase as the number of participants increases. Therefore, when the joint purchase counting device 200 forms a bulk purchase for a joint purchase requesting the same goods or services, the user may be provided with the goods or services at a lower price, and the seller may make a large amount of sales at once. This allows for much more efficient joint purchases.

If the first item or service and the second item or service are different from each other as a result of the determination, the first and second purchase requests are separately counted (S930).

That is, the joint purchase counting apparatus 200 may independently jointly purchase the different goods or services.

The configuration and operation of the joint purchase counting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 10. The co-purchase aggregation device 200 according to the present embodiment is a system bus 250, a processor 251, a memory (for example, random access memory) 252, storage 253, for communication with external devices It may include a network interface 254. Computer program code for implementing the method of co-purchase aggregation according to embodiments of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 9 is stored in storage 253, loaded into memory 252, and executed by processor 251. Can be.
