Description

Electronic Label Tag System and Method {Electronic Label Tag System and Method}

The present invention relates to an electronic label tag system and method using an electronic tag, and more specifically, to an electronic label tag system and method that authenticates whether a company that can issue an electronic tag attached to each unique product, such as an automobile, is authorized, and provides information by determining whether the product is being sold or sold out, etc., based on whether communication between a gateway and the electronic tag occurs in a product display area.

Paper price tags that sellers, such as supermarkets or individual business owners who display mass-produced products on shelves or display counters in offline stores, print sales price information on paper or write it down directly with a writing instrument and attach it to the products are often distrusted by consumers due to inaccurate price information.

In addition, new products that are shipped from the manufacturer and sold and then resold, used automobiles, real estate, used goods, etc., agricultural, livestock, and forestry products, works of art, antiques, etc., general advertisements, commercial advertisements, job advertisements, product advertisement content and copyrighted works, etc., have different performance, condition, and selling price, size, weight, quantity, image videos, etc., and these individual seller products use conventional paper price tags, which is causing problems due to inaccurate information.

For example, in the used car market, consumers select and purchase used cars by considering many factors such as whether the car has been in an accident, whether it has been repainted, whether the mileage is high or low, whether the color is preferred, or whether there are too many optional features, even if it is the same year and model.

Used car dealers who sell used cars in the above used car market sell the used cars they purchase as quickly as possible by writing used car sales phrases preferred by consumers, such as accident-free vehicle, low mileage, many equipped options, best performance condition, low selling price, etc. on a paper price list and placing it with the used cars for sale.

As used car dealers arbitrarily write used car sales sentences on the paper price list above, information that is disadvantageous to sales, such as anticipated repairs or replacement of parts, repainting, or engine oil leaks, is not included. In addition, changed information must be revised and a new paper price list created and placed on display. However, there are many cases where paper price lists for used cars that have not been sold for several months are left as is, resulting in a lemon market with much consumer distrust due to information asymmetry.

In addition, when the seller of the above-mentioned individual product registers the product online and sells the product both online and offline in order to sell more products and sell them faster, it is one product sold offline, but online, it is registered as a large number of products sold with different seller information, sales price information, etc., and it is difficult to confirm which seller's product matches the offline product sold, so many consumers often pay more and purchase the product at a higher price.

In addition, it is difficult to distinguish whether many sellers are officially licensed or unlicensed, so there are many cases where people do not receive compensation, such as returns or refunds, after purchasing products from unlicensed sellers.

In addition, products that have been sold offline are advertised as still being sold online, which is causing a flood of false listings, fake listings, false advertisements, and counterfeit advertisements, forcing online users to invest a lot of time in searching.

In addition, there was an inconvenient problem in that online users had to call the seller or visit the seller in person to check whether the product was on sale or sold out after completing a search.

The above-mentioned online and offline integrated business product advertisement output information is provided to online users through a terminal device (300), so that the current status information of offline sales products can be grasped online, and thus online users do not need to call or visit the offline seller to check whether the product is on sale.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a procedure for rejecting registration of an unlicensed business in an electronic tag labeling method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the procedure checks whether the business requesting registration of the electronic tag is a licensed business or an unlicensed business, and rejects registration of the electronic tag if it is an unlicensed business.

As shown in Fig. 3, first, a business terminal (700) connects to an electronic tag management server (200) via a wired or wireless communication network (600) and requests registration of a product tag (S302), for example, while providing its business registration certificate information to the electronic tag management server (200) (S304).

Whether the above business is a licensed or unlicensed business is determined by using the business registration number information from the business registration certificate information provided above, and by using the business registration status inquiry service on the National Tax Service Hometax website to receive business status information (S306).

If a business is closed or has closed down but is not designated as a continuing business operator through the search on the National Tax Service Hometax site (S308), it will be checked as an unlicensed business and registration will be denied (S318).

Even if the above business is a continuing business, if the entrance/exit door is closed for a certain period of time (S312), it is judged as a suspension of business and is checked as an unlicensed business, and registration is denied (S318).

Even if the above door-closed state does not last for a certain period of time, if the product tag is not held (S314), the business is checked as an unlicensed business and registration is denied (S318).

If the above product tag is held, the company is checked as a licensed company and the product tag is registered (S316).

And the registered product information of the above online/offline tag output information is deleted (S910).

Such electronic label tag system and method can be applied to the used car sales market.

As mentioned above, used car dealers who sell used cars in the used car market sell the used cars they purchase as quickly as possible by writing used car sales phrases preferred by consumers, such as accident-free vehicle, low mileage, many optional features, best performance condition, low selling price, etc. on a paper price list and placing it with the used cars for sale.

As used car dealers arbitrarily write used car sales sentences on the paper price list above, information that is disadvantageous to sales, such as anticipated repairs or replacement of parts, repainting, or engine oil leaks, is not included. In addition, any changed information must be revised and a new paper price list created and placed on display. However, there are many cases where paper price lists for used cars that have not been sold for several months are left as is, resulting in a market with a lot of consumer distrust due to information asymmetry in the Orange Market.

When the present invention is applied to the used car sales market, which is the aforementioned orange market, unlicensed dealers who sell used cars are prohibited from registering and dealer electronic labels storing seller information of licensed dealers are provided.

The used car information provided by the dealer by the manager of the above electronic tag label system is entered, and at this time, the car information provided by AI (artificial intelligence) is verified to include the manufacturer information, model name information and model release year information in the release year information, and whether the model grade name information matches the installed option information, fuel used, and transmission information, and whether the average price information and lowest price information of models of the same release year include the sales price information.

Through this, if it matches the facts and is included in the average price information, it is printed from the display section of the dealer's electronic label tag, and the printed dealer electronic label tag is placed in the used car that is the product for sale, and depending on the gateway through which communication is made, the used car status information such as for sale, sold, outside the store, or newly arrived is changed and printed in real time and provided to customers visiting the offline store.

In addition, the dealer electronic label tag information, on which the dealer used car information is printed, is set to be implemented online and transmitted to the cyber display section of the cyber dealer tag, and is printed as dealer used car listing information in the cyber display section and provided to online users, thereby providing the dealer's used car listing information that is integrated both online and offline.

Offline dealer pre-label tag output information and online cyber dealer tag output information are transmitted in real time to provide consistent information, and online users can easily check whether offline dealer used cars are for sale, whether the price has been modified, whether there are installment conditions, etc., and can also prohibit the registration of false listings, fake listings, bait listings, and other enticing listings that attract online customers.

Although the technical idea of the present invention has been described above with the attached drawings, this is merely an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention.

In addition, it is an obvious fact that anyone with ordinary knowledge in this technical field can make various modifications and imitations within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
