DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information mediating method using a network which can be used for trading various goods (including not only goods but also services) using the Internet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various products can be bought and sold using the Internet. For example, a product purchaser can access the product provider's homepage to see content information such as images, prices, specifications, etc. of various products. A screen for inputting various information such as a name and a method for paying the price is displayed. If necessary information is entered and a transmission button on the screen is clicked, a transaction is completed.

[0003]

By the way, such a transaction is a method in which a person (buyer) who wants to purchase a product visits various homepages and finds a product desired by himself / herself. Would be burdened with product search.

[0004] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention eliminates the burden of searching for a product by a person who intends to purchase a product, and uses a network that provides a product provider with a place to obtain information that a product purchase applicant exists. The purpose is to provide a method for mediating information.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an information intermediary method using a network, in which a buyer registers needs on an introducer site to solve the above-mentioned problems.
A step in which the needs are posted on the needs introduction browsing page of the introducer site, a step in which the seller sees the needs posted on the needs introduction browsing page and transmits a message to the introducer site, and Transmitting information corresponding to the message to the buyer.

With the above configuration, the buyer does not need to visit various homepages to find the desired product. In other words, the buyer only needs to register the needs, which are the contents of the product he or she wants, on the introducer site, and the seller bears the effort to search for the buyer, and the seller presents the product that meets the needs. From the viewpoint of the seller, although it takes effort to search for buyers (needs), there is an advantage that various needs can be known only by accessing the needs introduction browsing page provided by the introducer site. Further, it is possible not only to obtain an opportunity to sell a product to a buyer, but also to grasp tastes and the like from needs and reflect it in product development, production adjustment, and the like.

[0007] The step of registering the needs on the introducer site by the buyer includes the steps of: selecting the classification by looking at the needs registration page of the introducer site; and writing information on a registration sheet corresponding to the selected classification. And transmitting the information to an introducer site. According to this, the introduction site can easily classify and register the needs without any trouble.

At the stage where the needs are posted on the needs introduction browsing page of the introducer site, information excluding the buyer's personal information is preferably posted. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation where a forcible seller approaches a buyer directly.

In the stage where the needs are displayed on the needs introduction browsing page of the introducer site, the buyer narrows down the fields by sequentially selecting the classified items, and the needs of the target field are displayed. Is good. Here, in a form in which the needs are randomly sorted without being classified, the needs search by the seller cannot be efficiently performed. However, the above configuration can improve the efficiency of the needs search by the seller. In addition, information such as the frequency of needs search for each category can be obtained on the introducer site side, which can help solve the problem of what kind of fields should be gathered as sellers.

[0010] The seller may fill in the required items on the member application page of the introducer site and transmit the required items to the introducer site to be required to become a member. By adopting such a membership system, it becomes possible to construct a profit structure by collecting membership fees.

[0011] The step of transmitting the information corresponding to the message to the buyer via the introducer site may be performed by e-mail or by posting the message on a message browsing page created for each buyer. May be performed.

[0012] The message transmitted by the seller to the introducer site is preferably written together with the needs on the needs introduction browsing page. According to this, a message of a certain seller can be viewed by another seller, and for the product price presented by the certain seller, it becomes possible for the other seller to present a lower product price.

[0013] When the buyer's request to introduce a referral is transmitted to the introducer site in response to the message presented by the seller,
The buyer's personal information may be transmitted to the seller through the introducer site. In such a configuration, after the buyer has an intention to request introduction, negotiation is performed between the buyer and the seller, and a system can be constructed such that the introducer site is not involved in this negotiation.

[0014] When a buyer's introduction request intention is transmitted to the introducer site in response to the message presented by the seller,
A fee may be charged to the seller from the introducer site. Instead of or in addition to the profit structure based on the membership fee collection described above, a profit structure such as fee collection at the time when the buyer and the seller are matched can be constructed.
