Description

How to update product information of price comparison products sold in open market {METHOD FOR UPDATING INFORMATION OF PRICE-COMPARED GOODS SOLD IN OPEN MARKET}

The present invention relates to a method of updating product information posted on a price comparison site, and more particularly, to a method of updating the product information when the product information is information about a product sold in an open market. .

With the widespread use of the Internet, product sellers or sales agents have established a virtual market on the Internet called an Internet shopping mall. Therefore, buyers of goods can purchase specific goods or goods that they want to purchase through the virtual market without visiting the stores.

The use of such an internet shopping mall can reduce the time and cost due to the purchase of the visitor, and thus, the number of buyers using the internet shopping mall has gradually increased, thereby increasing the number of sellers and sales agents who operate the internet shopping mall.

Meanwhile, the internet shopping mall is classified into a general shopping mall and an open market according to an operator. The general shopping mall is directly operated by the seller of the product, and the open market is operated by a sales agent (open market operator) who is commissioned to sell from the seller of the product.

However, the selling prices in these internet shopping malls are different for each internet shopping mall even though the products are the same. Accordingly, buyers have a desire to purchase a product in an internet shopping mall that offers the lowest price, and a price comparison site that compares and provides prices of a plurality of internet shopping malls on the Internet to satisfy such a buyer's desire. Appeared.

The competitiveness of the price comparison site is the speed and accuracy of the product information provided. In particular, the prompt provision of price information that changes frequently among the product information and the accuracy of the provided price information are the most important problems in the price comparison site. Therefore, product information of a price comparison site is updated from time to time.

The advent of price comparison sites has changed the way buyers buy. That is, due to the emergence of a price comparison site, buyers check the product information (price information, shipping information, discount information, etc.) of the product to purchase by accessing the price comparison site before accessing a general shopping mall or open market, I bought a cheap product. In addition, due to this change in purchasing method, the price comparison site sorts relatively low price products at the top and relatively high price products at the same time, and sellers compare their products to price comparison sites. Frequently, downward adjustments in commodity prices have been made to align with the top of.

When the seller changes the product information, the operator of the general shopping mall or the operator of the open market notifies the operator of the price comparison site of the changed product information. Therefore, the general shopping mall and the open market do not have a difference in a method of delivering the changed product information to the operator of the price comparison site. However, the time point at which the product information delivered from the open market is reflected in the price comparison site is delayed compared to the point in time when the product information delivered from the general shopping mall is reflected in the price comparison site for the following reasons.

Since the general shopping mall handles only the products sold by one seller (general shopping mall operator), the number of product information posted in the general shopping mall and the update frequency of the product information are relatively small. Therefore, the operator of the general shopping mall can notify the operator of the price comparison site of the changed product information in real time, and the operator of the price comparison site can be reflected on the price comparison site with less manpower and time after receiving the changed product information. Can be.

However, the open market handles all products sold by various sellers (who have requested to sell the product to the open market). Therefore, the number of product information posted in the open market is relatively large compared to the general shopping mall, and the update of the product information also occurs from time to time. Notifying the operator of the price comparison site of product information updated from time to time involves a lot of manpower and cost. The operator of the open market informs the operator of the price comparison site of updated product information twice or three times a day. Doing. In addition, the amount of product information to be reported is enormous, so that the time of the process of the operator of the price comparison site receives the product information from the operator of the open market, and reflecting it on the price comparison site takes a lot of time. In fact, it takes about 30 minutes to 3 hours for the operator of the price comparison site to receive product information from the operator of the open market, and the operator of the price comparison site reflects the product information received on the price comparison site. The process takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

In addition, the price comparison site operator enters into a contract with a seller who is an operator of a general shopping mall. Therefore, in the case of the general shopping mall, the seller may directly request the operator of the price comparison site to update the changed product information.

However, in the case of the open market, the price comparison site operator does not enter into a contract with the seller, but rather with an operator of the open market, which is a sales agent. Therefore, the seller's request for updating the product information is first transmitted from the seller to the open market operator, and secondly, from the open market operator to the operator of the price comparison site. That is, in the open market, an additional process is required while the seller's request for updating the product information is transmitted from the seller to the operator of the price comparison site, which takes additional time.

As such, when the product is sold in the open market, the update of the product information is not quickly reflected on the price comparison site. As a result, the seller who requested the sale of the product to the open market has an equal price competitiveness with his product. Compared to a seller who sells a product having a general shopping mall, the sales are relatively low. As a result, sellers who have requested to sell their products to the open market demand that their product information be posted on the price comparison site more quickly and accurately in today's increasing market share. It is urgent.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and even if the product is sold in the open market, to provide a method that can reflect the update of the product information for the product on the price comparison site faster than before For the purpose.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a method by which sellers who have requested to sell products to the open market can quickly reflect the registration of products newly requested to the open market on a price comparison site.

In order to achieve the object described above, the present invention provides a web server for a price comparison site that provides web pages to a client through a price comparison site, and an open market through which a seller registers as a member of the price comparison site.

It is to be understood that the terminology or words used herein are not to be construed in an ordinary sense or a dictionary, and that the inventor can properly define the concept of a term to describe its invention in the best possible way And should be construed in accordance with the meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.

First Embodiment

A method of updating product information of a price comparison product sold in an open market according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a seller registration process (S100) and a product information update process (S200) as shown in FIG. do.

The seller registration process (S100) is a step for the web server 120 for the price comparison site to register the seller 110 who has acted for the sale of the product on the open market as a member of the price comparison site. The first step (S110), A second step S130 and a third step S150 are included. Here, the web server 120 for a price comparison site means a web server that provides various web pages to a client through a price comparison site.

In a first step (S110), the web server 120 for a price comparison site provides a seller registration web page to the seller 110 when the seller 110 requests it. The seller 110 may request a web page for seller registration through web page tracking after accessing a price comparison site. The seller registration web page has a text box in which seller information can be input. Here, the seller information is the name (trade name) of the seller 110, the name (trade name) of the open market, the open market identification code of the seller 110, the contact information (address, phone number, etc.) of the seller 110, the seller 110 Business registration number).

The seller 110 may input their seller information on the seller registration web page provided through the first step S110. In this case, the seller 110 may input the names (mutual names) of all the open markets selling products on their behalf in the name field of the open market. For example, if "auction", "gmarket" and "11th street" are selling the merchandise of the seller 110, the seller 110 is "auction", "gmarket" and "11" in the name field of the open market. You can enter "Ave." In addition, the seller 110 has its own open market identification codes (open market sellers) assigned from the open market web server (S130) for providing a variety of web pages to the client through the open market in the open market identification code field ID) can be entered. For example, if the identification code at "auction" is babyA, the identification code at "Gmarket" is babyG, and the identification code at "11th Street" is baby11, the seller 110 displays "babyA" in the open market identification code field. "," babyG "and" baby11 "can both be entered.

In a second step (S130), the price comparison site web server 120 requests the open market web server 130 to validate the open market identification code of the seller 110. To this end, the price comparison site web server 120 transmits the seller information received on the seller registration web page to the open market web server 130.

When the open market web server 130 receives the request in the second step S130 from the price comparison site web server 120, the open market identification code of the seller is checked. At this time, the open market web server 130, the open market identification code of the seller 110 received from the price comparison site web server 120 is present in the open market database and received with the open market identification code If the seller information and the seller information stored in the open market database match, the validity of the open market identification code is acknowledged and the corresponding response is returned to the price comparison site web server 120. On the other hand, the open market identification code of the seller 110 received from the price comparison site web server 120 does not exist in the open market database, or the seller information received with the open market identification code and the open market database. If the information stored in the seller does not match, the open market web server 130 does not recognize the validity of the open market identification code and returns the reason to the price comparison site web server 120.

In a third step (S150), the price comparison site web server 120 approves or rejects the membership of the seller 110 according to the reply content of the open market web server 130. Specifically, when receiving a response acknowledging the validity of the open market identification code of the seller 110 from the open market web server 130, the price comparison site web server 120 approves the membership of the seller 110 do. In this case, the web server 120 for a price comparison site provides an approval message to the seller 110. However, when receiving a response from the open market web server 130 that does not recognize the validity of the open market identification code of the seller 110, the price comparison site web server 120 approves the membership of the seller 110 I never do that. In this case, the price comparison site for the web server 120 provides an error message and error content to the seller (110). Meanwhile, the approval message, error message, and error content may be provided to the seller 110 through a pop-up window or a web page, or may be sent to the mobile communication terminal or the e-mail address of the seller 110.

Product information update process (S200) is a process that is performed when there is a request from the seller 110 approved for membership in the seller registration process (S100) described above, and includes steps 4 to 8.

In the fourth step (S210), when the price comparison site web server 120 receives a product information update request from the seller 110 connected to the price comparison site, the open market web server 130 in the current open market Request a list of merchandise of the seller 110 being sold. To this end, the price comparison site web server 120 first generates a search URL immediately after the product information update request. In this case, the search URL is generated differently for every open market entered by the seller 110 in the seller registration web page, and includes an open market identification code entered by the seller 110 in the seller registration web page. For example, if the open market identification code of the seller 110 is the same as the previous example, the search URL generated by the price comparison site web server 120 for "auction", "Gmarket" and "11th street" is as follows. same. Thereafter, the price comparison site web server 120 inputs the generated search URL into the address box of the web browser.

"http://search.auction.com/search/listid.aspx?seller=babyA"

"http://search.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_search/search_total.asp?Keyword=babyG"

"http://www.11st.co.kr/marketing/SellerHome.tmall?method=getSellerHomeMain&sellerUrl=baby11"

In a fifth step (S220), the open market web server 130 receives the request in the fourth step (S210) provides a web page for providing a product list. In this case, the product list providing web page includes product information on the products of the seller 110 sold in the open market as content.

In a sixth step S230, the price comparison site web server 120 parses the product list providing web page provided in the fifth step S220 and stores it in a price comparison site database.

In a seventh step, the price comparison site web server 120 provides a product information update web page including the valid product information as content. To this end, the price comparison site web server 120 first extracts the valid product information from the parsing data stored in the sixth step S230 (S240). The effective product information is product information that is predicted to be relatively high in utilization by the seller among the product information included in the parsing data. The product name, product code, product URL, seller name, sale price, discount price, open market discount information, and shipping information Includes, card installment information, shipping fees. Here, the product code means a code assigned to each product in each open market. For example, if ten sellers sell the same notebooks sold in the auction, each of the ten notebooks is given a different product code. After extracting the valid product information, the price comparison site web server 120 provides the seller 110 with the product information update web page (S250).

The product information updating web page includes at least some of the valid product information as content. According to FIG. 2, the seller name, a product name, a selling price, discount information of an open market, shipping information, and card installment information are included as contents of a product information update web page.

In addition, the product information update web page, as shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the valid product information, a check box for selecting the product included in the name of the open market, the open market identification code of the seller 110, and the parsing data as an update target, Links for requesting a web page for additional registration of the open market (indicated as "registration" in FIG. 2) and the like are included as content.

When the seller 110 selects an update target product on the product information update web page provided in step 7, and inputs an update command, the price comparison site web server 120 performs the eighth step.

In the eighth step, the price comparison site web server 120 first determines whether a product selected on the product information update web page corresponds to a product currently posted on a price comparison site, that is, a product being price compared (S260). The determination in step S260 is made by comparing the product code of the product selected on the product information update web page with the product code of the product being compared for price. Specifically, the price comparison site web server 120 is a product code selected by the seller 110 on the product information update web page is the price comparison site database (product information for price comparison products sold in the open market) Is stored in the database in which you are storing it). As a result, if the product code of the product selected by the seller 110 on the product information update web page is found in the database for the price comparison site, the price comparison site web server 120 determines that the product as the price comparison product If it is not found, the product is not judged as price comparison.

If it is determined in step (S260) that the product selected on the product information update web page corresponds to the product being price comparison, the price comparison site web server 120 on the product information update web page product information of the price comparison Update to the product information of the selected product (S270). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S260 that the product selected on the product information update web page does not correspond to the product being price comparison, the price comparison site web server 120 product information of the product selected on the product information update web page Register a new (S280). Newly registered product information is posted on the price comparison site.

Second Embodiment
