Logistics system using computer network and its method {GOODS CIRCULATING SYSTEM USING COMPUTER NETWORK AND THE METHOD}

The present invention relates to a logistics system using a computer network and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a logistics system and a method using a computer network that can perform the delivery and payment of goods through a computer network for off-line and online personal transactions. It is about.

As information systems based on computer, internet, and communication technology have developed, the use of the Internet has become more common and, moreover, it has emerged as a means of business, providing and collecting information on products and services, ordering, receiving, paying for goods, and sending goods. Electronic commerce, which is conducted on the Internet in an electronic form, is being activated. As a result, various forms of e-commerce (B to B), business to individual (B to C), business to administrative (B to G) and individual to administrative (B to G) Among them, business to business (B to B) and business to consumer (B to C) are the mainstream of the e-commerce market.

Following this large-scale business model, electronic commerce for C-to-C transactions, where individuals deal with individuals, is emerging. As an example of the electronic commerce for the C-to-C transaction, there is an internet auction site, a bulletin board or a second-hand market that provides contents in an internet shopping mall.

In the former case, it is a web business model that makes interactive transactions between individuals online, but it forms a store online for goods to be traded between individuals and brokers transactions, but it does not provide web services for transactions that do not go through cyber stores, even offline or online. In the latter case, the service is only provided to provide product information on individual used goods.

For example, Auction (www.aution.co.kr), a representative site that operates an auction market online, operates a shopping mall of ESCROW, a third-party deposit method. Here, the original meaning of escrow refers to a conditional certificate, that is, a certificate held by a third party until a certain condition is established and the content of the certificate is executed, and is used as a temporary deposit of a payment amount. Hereinafter, the temporary deposit period of the settlement price is defined as the article grace period.

The e-commerce on the auction site shopping mall proceeds in the order of "sending request, sending out, sending confirmation, receiving confirmation, receipt confirmation, remittance request, remittance, remittance confirmation, deposit to real seller" when the auction is closed, It checks every transaction between buyer and seller, and is a courier that has a contract with a relevant auction site or a contract to deliver the winning items by agreement between the parties.

However, in such an e-commerce method, confirmation processing is performed for each transaction processing process. As the confirmation process is delayed for each process, payment to the supplier is delayed by that time. There is no way to check the process until the delivery courier who has been requested to deliver it, and there is a problem that it takes a considerable time when you want to check it, and also, in principle, the money should be remitted within 3 days Therefore, the buyer can not afford to check the abnormality of the goods, and if there is a problem, the disadvantage is returned to the buyer, the reliability of the e-commerce service provider is lowered.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, if a post-payment system is adopted to pre-deliver the goods and pay later for the goods, there will be cases in which a disadvantage occurs to the seller. Therefore, when the transaction between individuals is completed offline or online and the payment of the goods and the delivery of the goods is to be made, an electronic commerce plan that can protect the interests of both the buyer and seller should be devised.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a convenient payment to the buyer and seller by making the delivery and payment processing of goods electronically through a computer network in accordance with the transaction between individuals negotiated online and offline from the seller The present invention provides a distribution system and method using a computer network that can provide payment and logistics services.

Another object of the present invention is to ensure that the price of the goods electronically only after the period of grace period agreed between the purchaser and the seller, thereby ensuring a guarantee of the goods and to resolve the complaints of both buyers and sellers in the transaction between individuals.

The payment option is a selection item for providing a payment service in a payment method desired by a customer, and a credit card payment for payment of goods by a cyber account transfer and a credit card for payment of goods by cyber account transfer. Items and cyber money payment items for payment of goods with cyber money.

2 is a view for explaining a database (DATA BASE: hereinafter abbreviated DB) of the payment web server in the logistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Billing web server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a member DB (100a) for storing the details and cyber accounts of registered members, and transaction history DB (100b) for storing the transaction history registered by the member And a member point DB 100c for storing transaction points of the member.

Logistics system according to an embodiment of the present invention is linked to a financial institution for electronic payment of goods, if a predetermined amount is deposited in the real account of the financial institution, the equivalent amount is cyber money linked to the real account as electronic money It is run by an electronic payment program that allows deposit into the account.

Meanwhile, in order to receive the goods payment service and the logistics service according to an embodiment of the present invention, a cyber account, for example, a specific bank must be opened in a financial institution linked with the logistics system of the present invention, and also the specific account for managing the cyber account. A real account should be opened at a bank or another bank linked to that particular bank.

The cyber account is opened through a series of account opening processes associated with a financial institution when applying for a member ID by accessing a logistics website, and a card payment of goods may be made in connection with a credit card company.

The logistics method by the logistics system of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, the remote buyer or seller confirms the transaction of the goods offline or online, i.e., the remote buyer and seller confirms the transaction over the phone or at the flea market or marketplace in the shopping mall and then enters the payment website. The connection 100 is made.

In this state, when the visitor tries to receive the logistics service, the payment web server 100 determines whether there is an input of an identifier (ID) and a password of the visitor to determine whether the visitor is a member (S110).

If the accessor is not a member as a result of the member judging step (S110), a new member registration column is displayed on the screens of the buyer and seller terminals 120 and 140, thereby receiving a new member registration (S120). When registering a member ID, password, personal details and cyber account number in this new member registration section, a member is authenticated as a member through a series of authentication procedures from a certification authority (not shown) and a member is given a cyber account. At this time, the personal history of the authenticated member is stored in the member DB 100a of the payment web server 100.

If the accessor of the member judging step (S110) is a member, the transaction history registration menu is displayed on the screen of the purchaser and seller terminal (120,140), and through this, the transaction between the individuals negotiated offline or online is registered (S130). . The registered transaction history is stored in the transaction history DB (100c) of the payment web server 100, and then used as reference material for requesting the delivery of goods and payment of the price.

The reason for providing the trader division item in the transaction history registration menu is to classify the transaction parties, and to confirm whether transaction details between individuals performed offline or online are matched by registering transaction details from these transaction parties.

After the transaction history registration step (S140) is completed, the payment web server 100 determines whether there is a payment request from the buyer (S140).

As a result of the determination of the payment request determination step (S140), if there is a payment request from the buyer, the payment web server 100 refers to the transaction details DB 100b and electronically transfers the price of the goods including the shipping fee, that is, the buyer's cyber account. In the transfer to the seller's cyber account (S150). At this time, since the transfer is not made in the real account of the financial institution, the goods price is not delivered to the seller.

After completing the goods payment transfer step (S150), the payment web server 100 requests the delivery of the goods to the logistics server 160, the transaction history data stored in the transaction history DB (100b) to the logistics server 160 It transmits (S160).

Subsequently, the logistics server 160 requests delivery while transmitting transaction details data from the payment web server 100 to the courier company 6, and the courier company 6 trades goods from the seller 2 based on the transaction history data. Receives and delivers to the buyer 1, and obtains the location information of the delivery person to provide the delivery tracking information to the logistics server 160 indicating the location of the delivery. Thereafter, the logistics server 160 confirms whether the delivery is completed by the delivery tracking information, and provides the delivery web server 100 with the delivery result information corresponding to the delivery completion. Here, the transmission and reception terminal assigned to the delivery person, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a frequency public communication (TRS: Trunked Radio System) obtained by the transmission and reception between the transceiver provided in the courier (6) do.

After the delivery request step (S160) is completed, the payment web server 100 determines whether the goods are properly delivered from the delivery result provided by the logistics server 160 (S170). When the delivery of the goods is completed, it is determined whether there is a return request from the purchaser 1 (S180), and it is determined whether the goods grace period has elapsed by referring to the transaction history DB 100b of the payment web server 100 ( S190).

As a result of the return request determination step (S180), if there is a return request, the payment for the goods is released. Accordingly, the price of the goods transferred to the seller's cyber account is returned to the buyer's cyber account (S200).

As a result of the return request determination step (S180) and the product grace period determination step (S190), when the product grace period has elapsed without the return request, the payment is made from the financial institution (S210). In other words, the transfer is made from the real account of the financial institution, and the price of the goods is taken out of the buyer's real account to the seller's real account, and the shipping fee included in the price of the goods is paid to the courier company 6.

Therefore, when the goods are free from defects during the goods grace period, payment of the goods is made, so that the goods to be delivered can be reliably authenticated.

As such, when the payment is completed in the financial institution, the payment web server 100 notifies the purchaser 1, the seller 2, and the logistics server 160 of the payment information indicating that the payment is completed (S230).

Next, the payment web server 100 assigns predetermined points to each of the purchasing member and the selling member according to the usage results, and accumulates the assigned points in the previous points and stores them in the member point DB 100c (S240). . The accumulated points may be converted into cyber money and used for payment of goods or payment of a delivery fee.

As described above, in the present invention, by delivering the goods to the buyer in accordance with the transaction history in offline and online in connection with the financial institution, the payment is made electronically only after the expiration of the agreed period of goods between the buyer and seller It is effective to provide stable web service for transactions between individuals performed online and offline.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of improving the over-consumption climate by increasing the amount of used goods trading by promoting the stability of transactions between individuals through a computer network.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of expanding the number of electronic payment market and set up a web-based logistics system by operating a logistics website as a membership system.
