Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mileage accumulation electronic commerce system and an electronic commerce method,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic commerce technology through a communication network, and more particularly, to an electronic commerce system and an electronic commerce method using mileage that can activate the use of mileage of a user and a program recording medium therefor.

In general, as the information and communication technology of the modern society has developed, the information and communication field using the Internet has been rapidly developed. Therefore, even if the user does not purchase the desired goods, the user can purchase through the medium such as a computer connected to the Internet . This type of transaction is referred to as electronic commerce, which refers to a transaction in which all or a part of a transaction of goods or services is processed by electronic means such as electronic document exchange, and has a form similar to a commercial transaction in the real world.

Electronic commerce has existed in various forms such as exchanging electronic documents between companies, home shopping and home banking of PC communication before the Internet became popular. As the Internet became popular, e-commerce was associated with transactions on the Internet. In everyday life, the number of cases of purchasing products in the form of e-commerce was increased without purchasing goods directly from large-format marts.

To explain the outline of such electronic commerce, a user connects to a product providing server operated by a company such as a large-sized mart, a home shopping or an online shopping mall through a medium such as a computer or a mobile phone connected through a wired or wireless network, Information is provided. The user selects a product to be purchased based on the received information, and when the payment is completed, a series of processes of purchasing the product through the electronic commerce is completed by delivering the product to the user.

On the other hand, in general, a person who sells and provides goods and services provides benefits by discounting, cash back, earning, etc., a part of the amount of goods and services in order to increase the reuse purchase rate of the user.

In the method of providing, a method is a method of completing a settlement by discounting a commodity and a service amount, or by cashing or accumulating a part of a settlement amount in an identification code of a user after completing the settlement of a commodity and a service amount.

The user may pay cashback or reserve funds for the purchase of goods and services, exchange money in cash, or transfer the funds to a third party's identification code.

In order to provide the above services, you must deposit a certain amount for the seller's identification code, cash back or deposit, sell the goods and services, deposit the account for depositing the payment when the payment is completed with cash back or reserve, The integrated management account of the service provider who unified the reserve, and the deposit account for the user when the user exchanges with cash.

In order to operate such services, system operation management fee, seller recruitment cost, and user recruitment marketing cost occur. In order to raise the financial resources, the seller deducts a portion of the cashback and reserve money to the customer, Cost, and other operating expenses.

In addition, if the user leaves the mileage without using the accumulated mileage for a certain period of time, or if the member leaves the membership, the mileage is extinguished and the canceled mileage returns to the income of the intermediary server operator.

For example, if a merchant (merchant) is credited with a mileage policy of 200 won for a mediator server and 800 won for a mediator when a 1,000 won is paid for an individual commodity, the seller and the user are charged 200 won Satisfaction of the user. In other words, the seller earned KRW 1,000, but for the user who uses the actual service, the mileage accumulation rate drops as the KRW 800 is accumulated.

In addition, the more the user does not use the accumulated mileage, the higher the profit of the intermediary server operator. Therefore, the intermediary server operator does not recommend the use of the mileage of the user, and the use of the mileage of the user is not activated.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, the terms described below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intention of the user, the operator, or the precedent. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of an electronic commerce system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an intermediary server of FIG.

1, an electronic commerce system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal 100, a mediation server 200, and an affiliate terminal 300. The mediation server 200 and the user terminal 100 and the mediation server 200 and the merchant terminal 300 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate through a wired or wireless network. Also, the user terminal 100 and the merchant terminal 300 can be connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other through a wired / wireless network.

The user terminal 100 may be a computer terminal, a mobile communication terminal, a PDA, or the like, which requests a purchase of goods or services of each merchant registered in the intermediary server 200 by connecting to a wired or wireless Internet through a web browser have. Here, the user terminal 100 can request purchase of goods or services of the respective merchants registered in the mediation server 200 through the ARS and the mobile application.

The user purchases goods or services registered through the intermediary server 200 and can earn mileage according to the purchase of goods or services according to a predetermined mileage policy. Earned mileage can be used as cash for purchasing goods or services from a specific merchant or brokerage server, or for purchasing goods or services from a mall-only mall.

The user can select a payment method when paying a purchase amount of a product or service. When a part of the purchase amount is replaced with mileage, the mileage is not paid for the entire purchase amount. Instead, if a user buys all the purchase amount in cash or card without using the accumulated mileage, a higher rate of mileage can be earned than in the case of using other shopping malls.

That is, when a user purchases a product or service using cash or a credit card, when a mileage accumulated at the time of payment is partially used instead of a relatively high rate of mileage compared to other shopping malls, the mileage Is not accumulated at all.

If the user does not use the mileage, he / she will pay the mileage to the user up to the amount including the fee to be paid to the operator of the intermediary server. If the user uses some of the accumulated mileage, the mileage to be paid to the user This is possible by having the intermediary server operator pay a commission.

This fact must be included in the mileage policy so that the user can recognize the mileage before deciding whether to use the mileage.

The mediation server 200 may include a delivery food ordering site to a site where an online shopping mall is built through a homepage. The mediating server 200 accumulates a predetermined rate of mileage according to the purchase amount of the user, and the sales commodity of the shopping mall is not particularly limited to the kind such as goods, services, and services. Here, mileage can be referred to as various names such as a reserve, a point, a cache, and a cyber money, and there is a common point that the user can choose to pay some or all of the settlement amount at the time of settlement.

At this time, when the user completes the part or all of the payment amount by mileage, the mileage is not accumulated to the user but the amount corresponding to the mileage is deducted from the deposit and paid to the operator of the intermediary server 200.

In other words, when the intermediary server operator substitutes the mileage for a part of the purchase amount without paying the commission for the commodity or the service brokerage separately from each merchant, if the user has normally paid the mileage without using the mileage, The amount equivalent to the mileage to be paid will be paid from the deposit made in advance at the merchant's account in the name of the mileage payment.

2, the intermediary server 200 may include a goods information providing unit 210, a deposit management unit 220, a mileage management unit 230, a storage unit 240, and a control unit 250 have.

The product information providing unit 210 receives connection information or login information of a user terminal and provides product information of each merchant. Here, the product information may be any information necessary for the purchase of the product, such as the name of the product, the price of the product, and the earning mileage.

The deposit management unit 220 manages the deposits deposited at the respective merchant stores in the name of the mileage payment for each merchant. Here, the deposit is a virtual account dedicated to the store at each merchant and deposited in a virtual account, which is used as mileage credit or brokerage fee. In other words, when a user makes a payment by cash or card, 100% of the deposit settled on the product is credited to the user in the name of mileage. If the user pays the mileage for the amount of the purchased product, (Or administrative fee) to the intermediary server operator.

The mileage managing unit 230 manages the accumulated mileage of each user registered in the mediation server to correspond to the member information. In addition, the accumulated mileage information of the user can be transmitted to the user terminal at a point of time of the accumulated mileage guidance (for example, a certain period of time after the mileage is accumulated, a point at which the certain mileage accumulation is completed, etc.) .

The storage unit 240 stores various data required for the operation of the mediation server 200 and may include a database such as a merchandise DB, a merchant store DB, and a member DB.

The control unit 250 controls the overall operation of the components constituting the intermediary server 200 and in particular provides product information received from the merchant terminal 300 to the user terminal 100, Upon reception of the purchase request signal, a deposit corresponding to the purchase amount is provided to the user according to the payment means, or is provided to the intermediary server 200 as an intermediary fee.

1, the merchant terminal 300 is a terminal for accessing a mediation server 200 through a wired / wireless Internet connection through a web browser and providing information on a merchandise of the merchant, and includes a computer terminal, a mobile communication terminal, a PDA And the like.

Here, each merchant deposits an amount corresponding to the mileage to be paid to the user when the user purchases goods or services, in the account provided by the virtual account or the intermediary server operator as the mileage payment or fee. If the user does not use the mileage at all when purchasing a product or service, the deposited amount is used to earn the mileage corresponding to the purchase amount in accordance with the purchase amount, and the user can use the previously accumulated mileage , It is used to be paid as an intermediary fee to the intermediary server operator for the amount determined corresponding to the purchase amount.

The following will describe a mileage-based electronic commerce method according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an electronic commerce method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a merchant who wants to sell a product accesses a homepage provided by an intermediary server through an affiliate terminal, and requests registration of product information of a product to be sold at the affiliate shop (S1010). At this time, the merchant terminal can transmit together all necessary information such as the name of the merchandise, the price of the merchandise, and the earnable mileage.

Next, in step S 1020, the mediating server, which has received the merchandise information registration request from the merchant terminal, registers the merchandise information of the sold merchandise through the merchandise information providing unit.

Next, a user who wishes to purchase a product accesses a homepage provided by a mediation server through a user terminal (1030) and inputs member information (S 1040). Here, the mileage service is preferably operated by a member, and non-member services are also available.

Next, at the request of the user terminal, the mediating server receiving the connection signal of the user terminal provides the merchandise information on the merchandise through the merchandise information provider (S1050).

Next, the user terminal displays the goods information received through the intermediation server on the web browser, and receives the order information (e.g., product name, quantity, size, color, etc.) of the user and requests the order (S1060).

Next, the mediating server receives the order information and provides the settlement page, receives the settlement information from the user terminal, and performs payment processing (S1070).

When the settlement is completed, the mediating server judges whether or not the mileage is settled (S1080).

As a result of the determination in step S1080, if the user uses the mileage even if a portion of the payment amount is used, the mileage management unit subtracts the mileage accumulated by the user from the mileage accumulated by the user (S1081). In addition, through the deposit management unit, a deposit set up for the commodity is provided to the intermediary server operator (S1083).

As a result of the determination in step S1080, if the user does not use the mileage at all, that is, when the user has paid all of the payment amount by a card or cash, the deposit deposited in the corresponding product is paid to the user through mileage management and mileage management (S1082).

Next, the intermediary server stores the payment information in the storage unit (S1090), and transmits the payment completion information to each of the user terminal and the merchant terminal (S1095).

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, each of the user (customer), the merchant, and the intermediary server operator has the following advantages.

For the user, the satisfaction rate is improved because the rate of mileage accumulation is higher than the existing method. That is, according to the present invention, when a user makes a settlement using cash or a card, all of the reserves deposited by the merchant are paid by mileage, whereas in the conventional method, a portion of the deposit deposited by the merchant is deducted from the management and administration expenses of the intermediary server operator, It is a way to charge the customer with mileage. Therefore, the mileage accumulated by the present invention becomes significantly higher than the conventional mileage.

The franchisee has a high mileage accumulation ratio and can acquire and use the mileage service at the online / offline franchisee, thus securing the customer. In addition, the mileage service is a service to increase the re-use rate of the customer, but the existing method is a method of deducting the commission regardless of reuse of the customer. In the present invention, the reuse of the customer occurs and the fee is deducted The satisfaction of the store is also improved.

For brokerage operators, when customers use mileage, they earn more commission than the amount of mileage credited to the customer, so the frequent use of mileage by customers increases the revenue.
