Hereinafter, a method and a system for registering product information according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a network connection relationship between a shopping mall mediation server 100, a shopping mall server 110, and a product registrant 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Product information registration method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be performed by a predetermined product information registration system. The product information registration system may operate on the shopping mall mediation server 100 and the shopping mall server 110, or operate in conjunction with the other server while operating on one of the shopping mall mediation server 100 and the shopping mall server 110. have. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, the product information registration system may exist separately from the shopping mall mediation server 100 and the shopping mall server 110, and may operate in cooperation with the shopping mall mediation server 100 and the shopping mall server 110. Do.

The product information registration system maintains a database including a product model identifier used in a predetermined shopping mall mediation server 100 and receives a product identifier or a product name of product information registered in the predetermined shopping mall server 110. In addition, the product information registration system extracts a query from the product name, uses the query and executes a predetermined automatic product model recommendation logic to retrieve one or more recommended product model identifiers corresponding to the product identifiers from the database. Thereafter, the product information registration system presents a search result including a list of the one or more recommended product model identifiers to the product registrant 120, and from the product registrant 120 to one of the recommended product model identifiers in the list. When receiving the selection, the product identifier is stored in a predetermined matching table in correspondence with the selected recommended product model identifier.

After the above process, the product information registration system in the future when loading the product information from the shopping mall server 110, by identifying the recommended product model identifier corresponding to the product identifier of the product information in the matching table, The product information is automatically matched with the identified recommended product model identifier and registered in the shopping mall mediation server 100.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a product information registration method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The product information registration method according to the present embodiment may be performed by a predetermined product information registration system, and as described above, the product information registration system may operate on the shopping mall brokerage server and the shopping mall server, or in conjunction with these. .

In step S201, the product information registration system maintains a database containing a product model identifier used in a predetermined shopping mall mediation server.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the database.

As shown in FIG. 3, the database may include a product model identifier 301 used in the shopping mall mediation server, a corresponding category identifier 302 and a search field 303 for each product model identifier 301. have.

The product model identifier 301 is an identifier (ID) used to identify each product model in the shopping mall mediation server, and the category identifier 302 is a category belonging to each product model classified according to a predetermined criterion in the shopping mall mediation server. The search field 303 is a field to be searched when a recommended product model identifier is searched using a query and is associated with each product model such as a brand name, a model name, an item name, a keyword, and the like. It can contain a variety of information.

3 illustrates a case in which the category identifier 302 is recorded in the database as a data field separate from the search field 303. However, this is merely an example, and the category identifier 302 is separate. It may be included in the search field 303 and not recorded in the data field.

In step S202, the product information registration system receives a product identifier or a product name of product information registered in a predetermined shopping mall server.

The product identifier of the product information is an identifier used by the shopping mall server to identify each product, and each shopping mall server may use different product identifiers for the same product. Thus, the product identifiers of the shopping mall servers are different from each other. Since it is not possible to register with the shopping mediation server as it is, in the shopping mall mediation server, it is necessary to match it with one product model identifier and register it.

The product identifier may be generated by issuing a product identifier (PID: Product ID) for the product information requested by the shopping mall server when the product registrant requests registration of the product information about the product he / she wants to sell to the shopping mall server. The product information registration system may receive a product identifier of product information registered in the shopping mall server.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface that may be presented to a product registrant registering product information in a shopping mall server according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The product registrant may input product information such as a product name, a registered category, a product selling method, a product type, a manufacturing date, a product image, and the like of a product to be sold in a shopping mall server through a user interface such as the reference numeral 410. In addition, the product registrant may select whether or not to register the product information entered by the shopping mall brokerage server through a selection screen such as the reference numeral 401.

The product registrant who has selected the input of the product information and whether or not to register with the shopping mall mediation server may request a product registration from the shopping mall server by clicking a 'product registration' request button such as the reference numeral 402. In this case, the shopping mall server may A predetermined product identifier may be issued for the product information and registered in the shopping mall server, and a registration completion screen such as the reference numeral 420 may be presented to the product registrant.

In addition, when the product registrant selects the registration of the product information in the shopping mall mediation server on the selection screen such as the reference numeral 401, and the registration of the product information in the shopping mall server is completed, the product information registration system according to the present invention is the shopping mall. A product identifier and a product name of the product information registered in the server may be received, and a predetermined product model recommendation screen such as reference numeral 430 may be presented to the product registrant by executing a predetermined automatic product model recommendation logic. In this case, for example, the product model recommendation screen 430 may be presented in the form of a pop-up window for the registration completion screen 420.

FIG. 5 illustrates an automatic product model recommendation logic inserted into a product registration tool of a shopping mall server to automatically recommend a product model identifier used in a shopping mall mediation server and present the product model identifier to a product registrant. Figure 1 shows an example. For example, the product model recommendation screen 430 described above may be presented in the form of a product registration tool as shown in FIG. 5.

In step S203, the product information registration system according to the present invention extracts a query word from the product name by using the product name of the product information registered in the shopping mall server. Referring to FIG. 5, the product information registration system may receive a product name, such as reference numeral 501, from the product information registered in the shopping mall server, and extract a query word from the product name.

In step S204, the product information registration system uses the query and retrieves one or more recommended product model identifiers corresponding to the product identifiers from the database based on predetermined automatic product model recommendation logic.

Hereinafter, a detailed database search process by steps S203 and S204 will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

In step S601, the product information registration system searches the database using a first query word from which a space or a special character is removed from a product name, and generates a first search result.

For example, the product information registration system generates the first query by removing '', '/', '-', '+', etc. from a product name, and searches the database to include the first query. The first search result may be generated.

In step S602, the product information registration system determines whether the number of the first search results is less than the reference value.

For example, the predetermined reference value may be set to any one of 2 to 10. For example, when the reference value is 5, the product information registration system determines whether the number of the first search results is less than 5 in step S602. By judging whether it is possible to determine the progress of the next step.

If the number of the first search result does not fall below the predetermined reference value as a result of the determination in step S602, the process proceeds to step S610 and outputs the first search result as a list of recommended product model identifiers. If the number of the first search results is less than the predetermined reference value as a result of the determination in step S602, the process proceeds to step S603.

In step S603, when the number of the first search results is less than a predetermined reference value, the product information registration system divides the product name into a plurality of words according to a space, and the first letter and the last letter of the plurality of words are alphabetical. Or search the database using a word including a number and at least one number as a second query word, and generating a second search result.

For example, when the trade name is "tag heuer sunglass [1000002538]", the product information registration system may perform a search by determining '1000002538' as the second query word in step S602.

As another example, when the trade name is "[6 months interest-free installment] Ferragamo bracelet [34-2821_esp]", the product information registration system may perform a search by determining '34_2821_esp' as the second query in step S602. .

In this case, the product information registration system may generate the second search result by sorting the plurality of second query words in descending order according to the length, and searching the database according to the sorted order. have.

In step S604, the product information registration system determines whether the sum of the number of the first search results and the number of the second search results is less than the reference value.

For example, when the reference value is 5, the product information registration system determines whether the sum of the number of the first search results and the number of the second search results is less than 5 in step S604 to determine the progress of the next step. Can be.

If the sum of the number of the first search results and the number of the second search results does not fall below the predetermined reference value as a result of the determination in step S604, the process proceeds to step S610 and the first search result and If the second search result is output as a list of recommended product model identifiers, but the sum of the number of the first search result and the number of the second search result is less than the predetermined reference value as a result of the determination in step S604. Proceed to step S605.

In step S605, the product information registration system generates a plurality of tokens by separating the second query word into a space or a special character, searches the database using a third query word that connects the tokens to a space, and 3 Generate the search results.

For example, the merchandise information registration system returns the second query word again as '/', '-', '+', '_', '.' Tokens can be generated by separating

In addition, the merchandise information registration system may retrieve the third search result by repeatedly searching the database while reducing the number of the tokens included in the third query word from a later stage of the third query word in step S605. Can be generated.

For example, when the third query is "34-2821_esp", the product information registration system may repeatedly search the database in the order of '34 2821 esp ', '34 2821', and '34'.

As another example, when the third query is "DGB 020 BE", the product information registration system determines the number of tokens included in the third query in the order of 'DGB 020 BE', 'DGB 020', and 'DGB'. The database can be searched repeatedly, reducing from the back.

In this case, if it is determined that there is a search result, the product information registration system stops the repetitive search process and generates the existing search result as the third search result. Can be.

In step S606, the product information registration system determines whether the sum of the number of the first to third search results is less than the reference value.

For example, when the reference value is 5, the merchandise information registration system may determine whether to proceed with the next step by determining whether the sum of the number of the first to third search results is less than 5 in step S606.

If the sum of the number of the first to third search results does not fall below the predetermined reference value as a result of the determination in step S606, the process proceeds to step S610 to recommend the first to third search results as a recommended product. If the sum of the number of the first to third search results is less than the predetermined reference value, the process proceeds to step S607.

In step S607, the merchandise information registration system separates the brand name token using a predetermined engine indexer, searches the database using the token, and generates a fourth search result.

In step S608, the product information registration system determines whether the sum of the number of the first to fourth search results is less than the reference value. As a result of the determination in step S608, when the sum of the number of the first to fourth search results does not fall below the predetermined reference value, the process proceeds to step S610 to recommend the first to fourth search results as a recommended product. If the sum of the number of the first to fourth search results is less than the predetermined reference value, the process proceeds to step S609.

In step S609, the product information registration system generates a fifth search result including at least one of the tokens in the database. That is, the product information registration system performs a search for all words containing at least one token if the previous search result is less than a predetermined reference value.

In step S610, the product information registration system outputs at least one of the first to fifth search results as a list of recommended product model identifiers matching the brand name, and in step S610, step S207 of FIG. It may correspond to.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a search result screen that may be output by performing the product information registration method according to the present invention.

Conventional shopping mall mediation server has a general database search system, and it is impossible for a product registrant to search for a matching product model identifier when a product name registered by an entry shopping mall server is incorrect or its model name field is empty. The reference numeral 701 shown in FIG. 7 shows a search result according to the prior art. In the prior art, as shown by the reference numeral 701, when the model name field is empty, the matching operation has to fail.

However, according to the present invention, even if the model name field is empty, the brand name 702 is processed according to various search logic shown in FIG. 6, so that the search is performed. Accurately retrieve product model identifiers.

8 is a diagram illustrating another example of a search result screen that may be output by performing the product information registration method according to the present invention.

Conventional shopping mall mediation server has a general database search system, there is a problem that it is impossible for the product registrant to search for a matching product model identifier when there is a typo in the product name of the product registered through the entry shopping mall server.

However, according to the present invention, even when there is a typo in the product name, since the product name 801 is processed according to various search logic shown in FIG. 6, the search is performed. The product model identifier can be retrieved and printed correctly.

Meanwhile, in the database searching process illustrated in FIG. 6, the product model identifier included in the database may be an identifier of a product model classified as a luxury series.

In the case of a product model classified as a luxury series, the product model identifier is mostly a number or a combination of alphabets and numbers, and in the case of Hangul, in most cases, it is only a description of a product. It is highly likely that a very suitable search result is output when the search is performed accordingly.

Hereinafter, the product information registration method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 again.

In step S207, the product information registration system presents a search result including a list of the one or more recommended product model identifiers to the product registrant. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the product information registration system may present a search result including a list of product model identifiers, such as reference numeral 502, to the product registrant.

In step S208, the product information registration system receives a selection for any one recommended product model identifier from the list from the product registrant. For example, in FIG. 5, it can be seen that "DSC-W12" is selected from the product registrant.

On the other hand, in the above described the process that proceeds when the query is extracted from the product name in step S203, if the query is not extracted from the product name due to special circumstances in step S203, from the product registrant to manual keyword input In the case of receiving a selection for the selection, or if the selection of the recommended product model identifier is not received from the product registrant in step S208, a manual search may be performed in steps S205 and S206.

In step S205, the product information registration system manually receives a keyword for product model identifier search from the product registrant. For example, the product information registration system may manually receive a keyword from the product registrant through a search window as shown by reference numeral 503 of FIG. 5.

In this case, in step S206, the product information registration system searches for one or more product model identifiers corresponding to the product identifiers in the database by using the input keyword, and in step S207, the one or more product models. A search result including a list of identifiers is presented to the product registrant, and in step S208, a selection of any one product model identifier of the list may be received from the product registrant.

Hereinafter, a process of automatically matching product information to a product model identifier selected from a product registrant and registering the product information with a shopping mall mediation server will be described.

In step S209, the product information registration system stores a product identifier used in the shopping mall server, received in step S202, in a predetermined matching table in correspondence with the selected recommended product model identifier.

9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the matching table. As shown in FIG. 9, the matching table may include a shopping mall identifier 901, a product identifier 902, a product model identifier 903, and a category identifier 904.

The shopping mall identifier 901 may be received together with the product identifier 902 in step S202 as an identifier for identifying each shopping mall server that is the source of the product information, and the product identifier 902 may be received at each shopping mall server. An identifier used to identify a product. It is issued for product information requested for registration.

In addition, the product model identifier 903 is an identifier used to identify each product model in the shopping mall mediation server that mediates each shopping mall server, and the category identifier 904 is classified according to a predetermined criterion in the shopping mall mediation server. An identifier used to identify a category belonging to each product model.

For example, the product identifier 902 "phone_123a" of the product information registered in the shopping mall server having the shopping mall identifier 901 of "GS shop" is the product model identifier 903 "KTF" used in the shopping mall mediation server. -X5500 "and the corresponding category identifier 604" Home appliances. Cellphones> Cellphones / PDAs / Navigation> Cellphones "may be stored in the matching table.

In step S210, the product information registration system loads the product information from the shopping mall server. In this case, the product information registration system corresponds to the product identifier of the product information from the matching table in step S211 with reference to the matching table. Identifies the recommended product model identifier.

For example, in step S210, when the product information registration system loads the product information of the product identifier 902 "phone_123a" from the shopping mall server having the shopping mall identifier 901 of "GS shop", The product information registration system refers to the matching table in step S211, "KTF-X5500" as the product model identifier 903 of the shopping mall mediation server corresponding to the product identifier 902 "phone_123a", and the corresponding of the shopping mall mediation server. The category identifier 904 may identify “Home Appliances. Cell Phones> Cell Phones / PDAs / Navigation> Cell Phones”.

In step S212, the merchandise information registration system automatically matches the merchandise information with the identified recommended merchandise model identifier and registers the merchandise in the shopping mall relay server. In this case, the product information registration system may automatically match the product information with the identified corresponding category identifier as well as the identified recommended product model identifier and register the product information with the shopping mall mediation server.

Hereinafter, a product information registration system according to the present invention will be described.

10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a product information registration system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The product information registration system 1000 according to the present embodiment includes a database 1001, a first receiver 1002, a search unit 1003, a presentation unit 1005, a second receiver 1006, a storage unit 1007, and a registration unit. 1008, the search unit 1003 may include a first search unit 1021, a second search unit 1022, and a third search unit 1023, and the registration unit 1008 may be loaded.
