Description

{Car Import Management Systems and method thereof}

The present invention relates to an automobile import management system and method thereof. More specifically, an automobile import management system and method thereof are presented, which generate and provide at least one overseas automobile information that matches the consumer's preference by utilizing artificial intelligence means or collective intelligence online, and based on automobile import request information requested by the consumer by selecting from the at least one overseas automobile information provided or by entering desired automobile information, inquires whether the relevant automobile can be imported from an overseas sales company or manufacturer of the automobile requested for import, selects a consultant member who will proceed with automobile import with the consumer, and provides the information to the consumer member, and if it is confirmed that the overseas automobile can be imported, the relevant automobile is imported with the consultant, and if it is confirmed that the overseas automobile cannot be imported, the consumer selects an alternative automobile through direct selection of an alternative automobile by the consultant, selection of an alternative automobile by utilizing artificial intelligence means, or selection of an alternative automobile through convergence of collective intelligence, and then proceeds with importing the selected alternative automobile with the consultant according to the consumer's decision.

When consumers import cars from overseas, it is common to go through an import agency or an import dealer. However, since the price of cars imported from overseas is high, the reliability of the agency or dealer regarding the price of the car, various expenses, the condition of the car, and the expertise of the import process is important, and since the commissions of the agency or dealer are set in various ways, it is difficult for consumers to choose an agency or dealer.

In addition, since the process of importing automobiles from overseas is mostly done offline between consumers and agencies or dealers, it is inconvenient and takes time and money for consumers and agencies or dealers. This conventional automobile import process is done by deciding on the preferred automobile information to be imported through offline consultation with an automobile import agency or dealer, signing an import agency contract between the automobile import agency and the consumer (for example, using an automobile import agency), then the automobile import agency investigates whether the automobile to be imported can be imported, and if possible, the consumer pays all expenses including the import automobile price, and the automobile import agency imports the automobile, completes the necessary inspection and registration procedures, and then hands over the automobile to the consumer.

While the export of automobiles through online channels has been continuously studied and promoted, the import of automobiles through online channels is currently not actively studied due to limitations such as lack of local information and infrastructure overseas.

The invention of an auction system and method for imported automobiles and tuning parts through online and offline channels is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2012-0100547 (publication date: September 12, 2012).

The above-mentioned public invention relates to an online and offline auction system and method for imported automobiles and tuning supplies, and in particular, to popularize motor sports by grafting popular celebrity racers onto motor sports, a popular sport for the masses, and to foster the motor sports industry by providing fans with related content derived therefrom, and to enable celebrities and fans to easily communicate with each other through motor sports and for celebrities to get closer to their fans.

Figure 5 is a schematic configuration diagram of the recommendation information generation management module, which is a main part of the automobile import management computer of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the recommendation information generation management module (130) of the present invention comprises a consumer preference information management module (131) for extracting and managing consumer member preference information such as the maker, type, year, model, color, and other options of foreign automobiles input by consumers from consumer member information; an AI recommendation information generation management module (132) for extracting data from the consumer preference information management module (131) and a foreign automobile-related database stored in an automobile information storage device (400) to generate recommendation information of foreign automobiles provided to consumer members by artificial intelligence (AI); and a collective intelligence recommendation information management module (133) for selecting at least one specific automobile based on the consumer member preference information of foreign automobiles managed by the consumer preference information management module (131) based on the opinions of experts and providing expert opinions and knowledge of the selected automobile to a plurality of participating members to collect collective intelligence of the participating members on the same to generate recommendation information of foreign automobiles.

The artificial intelligence recommendation information generation management module (132) that generates recommendation information on the above foreign automobiles to be provided to consumer members can be performed, for example, through the following process.

1) Data collection: Collect consumer preference information and a database on imported cars. Consumer preference information on vehicles may include purchase history, preferred vehicle characteristics (e.g., fuel economy, price range, design, etc.), and usage purposes (family, sports, etc.). The imported car database may include information on vehicle type, model, manufacturer, price, fuel economy, and safety features.

2) Data preprocessing: The collected data is purified through a preprocessing process. This includes tasks such as filling in missing data, standardizing formats, and handling outliers.

3) Feature extraction: Extract the features of each imported car from the database. This could be the process of extracting features such as fuel efficiency, price, car type, and model.

4) Model training: The extracted features are used to train an artificial intelligence model. This model will be able to recommend imported cars that reflect consumer preferences.

5) Recommendation: Recommend the optimal imported car to the consumer using the learned model. At this time, the most suitable choice is presented by considering the consumer's preference and the characteristics of the imported car. For example, a vehicle with high fuel efficiency, excellent safety, and reasonable price can be recommended.

6) Reflecting feedback: Collect feedback from consumers who have received recommendation results and reflect it in the model to improve recommendation performance. This helps to increase the accuracy and usability of the recommendation system through continuous improvement.

Through this process, we can recommend the optimal imported car to consumers.

Above, in the 4) model learning section, machine learning techniques mainly used may include recommendation systems, regression analysis, and classification algorithms. The core of machine learning is to learn patterns from data using various algorithms. Let's explain the recommendation system as an example of machine learning.

Recommender systems are a branch of machine learning that recommend products or services based on the user's preferences or interests. These recommendation systems are used in various fields, and can be used for online shopping, movie or music recommendations, and friend recommendations on social media.

Recommendation systems can be broadly classified into two types: content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. Content-based filtering is a method that recommends similar items by analyzing the characteristics of items that users have previously liked. For example, it can recommend other foreign cars with similar characteristics based on information about foreign cars currently owned by consumers or other consumers of similar types to consumers or foreign cars previously imported. In addition, collaborative filtering is a method that analyzes consumer behavior data (purchase history, evaluation, click history, etc.) to find similarities between consumers and make recommendations. Collaborative filtering is divided into two types: user-based collaborative filtering and item-based collaborative filtering. User-based collaborative filtering recommends foreign cars that other consumers with similar tastes like. For example, it can recommend foreign cars that other consumers with similar tastes like. Additionally, Item-Based Collaborative Filtering recommends cars similar to foreign cars that the consumer previously liked. This method recommends other similar cars from a particular maker if the consumer prefers foreign cars from that maker.

Recommender systems can be continuously improved through feedback and interaction with consumers. By collecting new feedback and updating the model, the accuracy and usefulness of recommendations can be improved.

In addition, the collective intelligence recommendation information management module (133) extracts preferred foreign car information from the member information of a specific consumer member, provides it to at least one expert member together with the consumer member information, and requests the expert's opinion. Based on the consumer member information provided by the experts and the extracted foreign car information, pros and cons opinions regarding the foreign car and the expert's knowledge information regarding the opinions are received. The received expert opinions and knowledge information regarding the foreign car are generated as expert opinions regarding the foreign car and provided to the participating members. The participating members provide participant opinions including opinions of agreement or disagreement with the expert opinions based on the expert opinions regarding the foreign car. If there are a majority of opinions agreeing with the expert opinions regarding the foreign car among the participant opinions regarding the foreign car, these are collected as collective intelligence to generate recommendation information regarding the foreign car.

A certain amount of points may be provided to expert members and participating members who participated in the creation of recommended information on the above foreign automobiles. For example, points may be redeemable for cash, usable at shopping malls operated by the system, or usable at directly managed A/S centers or tuning centers.

Here, expert members can be composed of those who have certain knowledge or experience with foreign automobiles, such as foreign automobile import consultant members, foreign automobile mechanics, etc. In addition, the qualifications of participating members are not limited, and anyone can become a consumer member, consultant member, or expert member.
