Description

Method of auctioning based on cooperative buying in internet}

The present invention relates to an auction method on the Internet, and more particularly, after the auction price of the product is announced, the application of the buyer who wants to make a joint purchase of the announced auction below or notified, By allowing a lower priced bid of a seller to be attracted, thereby allowing a buyer who wants to buy a product to purchase a product at a lower price formed by two factors, a joint purchase and a competition. .

In recent years, e-commerce sites have evolved into two types: sites that display and sell inexpensive items like regular stores (such as Amazon and CDNow) and Internet auction sites. .

In the early days of Internet auction sites, unlike general online shopping sites, they often sell certain products at bargain prices. However, it is growing at a rapid pace, driven by the demands of companies to process their own inventory.

In general, to purchase items through an internet auction site, you must first register as a user. Enter information about the credit card you are using, the address where the item will be delivered to, and the password. Soon you will be issued a user number to participate in the auction. When you select an item to auction, information about the item is displayed on the screen. From the start of the bid, you can see details of the increment in the bid, the number of items, the amount of bids currently being made, and when the auction ends.

Also, among auction sites, there are sites that provide an auction method known as reverse auction. Reverse auction refers to a method of allowing sellers to bid at a lower price when a buyer is determined, unlike a general auction method where buyers bid at a higher price when a seller is determined.

On the other hand, co-purchase as a form of shopping mall has recently been spotlighted as a new bargain shopping means for netizens. Co-purchase, which began mainly with PC communication clubs, has now expanded to Internet shopping malls, and there are many sites on the Internet that specialize in co-purchase.

Co-purchasing is a way of purchasing products at a lower cost by purchasing multiple products at once. For example, a person can buy 10 products at the cost of 10,000 won at a time and buy 10 people at a time to buy 9,500 won. In other words, co-purchase members gather together to function like a large discount mart.

On the other hand, with the recent growth of the Internet auction site has been attempted to implement a variety of auction method.

However, the auction method and the reverse auction method according to the prior art have a problem that the seller and the buyer cannot actively participate in the sale together as the price is determined unilaterally on the other side while one side is determined.

In addition, since the auction is made in the end one-to-one transaction has the disadvantage that the efficiency of the auction falls. Even in the case of joint purchase, there is only one-to-many transaction.

Therefore, there has been a request for the development of an auction method that allows both parties to actively participate in the pricing in the Internet auction, and in particular, as the joint purchase is in the spotlight, the development of the many-to-many auction method that adopts the joint purchase method Has been requested.

Therefore, the present invention devised to meet the request as described above, after notifying the auction price of the product, and receives the notice of the request of the buyer who wants to jointly purchase the announced auction below or not, By providing a lower price bid of the seller attracted by the buyer, the buyer can purchase the product at the lower price formed by the two factors of co-purchase and competition. It is for that purpose.

The auction server 130 transmits an auction web page to the connected buyers 110a-110n as the buyers 110a-110n access.

In this case, an example of the transmitted auction web page is illustrated in FIG. 2A. Referring to FIG. 2A, the auction web page includes a product name (200a, 200b, 200c) and an image 210a of a product to identify a product being auctioned. 210b, 210c are provided, the deadlines (211a, 211b, 211c) to know the auction deadline, and the application quantity (212a, 212b, 212c) to know the application status of buyers who want to joint purchase And, the seller / quantity (213a, 213b, 213c) to know the minimum bid and quantity of the seller you want to sell, and the purchase request button (214a ~ ~) that allows the buyer (110a ~ 110n) to connect and apply for a purchase 214n and sales request buttons 215a, 215b, and 215c to which the sellers 140a to 140n can connect and apply for sales are provided.
