Description

Title: METHOD FOR INTERMEDIATING
INTERPERSONAL ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND
SYSTEM THEREOF
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for intermediating an
interpersonal electronic commerce and a system thereof, and in particular to a
method for intermediating an interpersonal electronic commerce and a system
thereof capable of intermediating an electronic commerce without using a
known domain name service in such a manner that a dynamic IP address is
provided from a sale system to a purchaser so that a desired electronic
commerce is performed between a plurality of sale systems that do not have
static IP addresses and domain name services on the internet and common
purchasers.
Background Art
Figure 1 is a view illustrating a schematic network construction of a
known electronic commerce intermediating system implemented on the internet.
As shown therein, in the electronic commerce intermediating system,
there are providers 110 and 120 and a user 130 for providing or receiving an
electronic commerce intermediating information on the internet. The providers are generally classified into twp types. Namely, there are a corporation type
provider 110 that provides a comprehensive information such as news, search,
community services like a portal site constructed for a commercial purpose, and
an individual type provider 120 having a server system for providing a certain
information to users based on a non-commercial purpose or a commercial
purpose.
Here, the user 130 can be classified into two types. Namely, there are a
user who receives information related with a commerce of a certain product and
behaves a sale or purchase on the internet for a commercial purpose, and a
user who receives a common information like news, search, community
services.
However, the providers 110 and 120 and the user 130 should subscribe
an internet connection service provided by an internet service provider for using
a desired information on the internet. In particular, the providers 110 and 120
should have static IP addresses through an internet service provided by the
internet service provider and should register on the domain name service. In
addition, a service system capable of processing the connections by a plurality
of users should be constructed.
In addition, the user 130 should subscribe the internet service provided
by the internet service provider, so that the user 130 can obtain a desired
information provided by the providers 110 and 120 on the internet. Here, the
internet service products provided by the internet service providers are determined based on the providers 110 and 120 and the user 130 and the data
size and continuity used on the network. In particular, the corporation type
provider 110 connected by a plurality of the users 130 should have static IP
addresses (version 4) together with a dedicated line and should be designed to
provide information using a web site-based HTTP, ASP, Flash, etc. for sounds,
graphics, motion pictures, etc. including texts so that the users can easily use
the above information.
As the number of internet users has been sharply increased, the
available number of the static IP addresses (version 4) exceeds its limit. Since
the user 130 is connected with the internet service provided by the internet
service provider and receives a desired information only when the user 130
needs it, the internet service products of the internet service provider provided
to the user 130 are provided using the dynamic IP technology.
Under the above environments, a plurality of corporation type providers
110 designed to intermediate commerce among the users on the internet have
been provided for thereby effectively intermediating the users 130 as a sale part
and a purchase part. However, the above web sites designed to intermediate
the commerce perform only a bi-directional commerce structure between the
corporation type provider 110 and the user 130 as the sale part and purchase
part. Namely, a plurality of the corporation type providers 110 designed to
intermediate the electronic commerce have performed in a conventional
electronic commerce method in which the corporation type providers 110 construct an expensive network infrastructure and provide the product
information of the sale part on its web site and charge a certain intermediate
service concerning the product commerce to the purchaser and seller.
Therefore, the providers 110 and 120 should receive static IP addresses
and domain name services at high costs from the internet service provider so
that the users perform certain commercial behaviors with the corporation type
provider 110. In addition, when the providers 110 and 120 want a higher speed
and more stable information providing services, the providers should pay very
expensive costs for a dedicated line and should construct a stable network
system. Furthermore, there are many problems for constructing a server system
for an electronic commerce on the internet without help from an expert and for
being a provider as an electronic commerce product sale part. In addition, the
problems further occur in the system construction and maintenance.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method
for intermediating an interpersonal electronic commerce and a system thereof
that overcome the problems encountered in the conventional art.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a network-based
intermediating system capable of achieving a stable electronic commerce
between a sale part and a purchase part that do not have any system environment for using a static IP address and domain name service.
It is further another object of the present invention to provide a method
for intermediating a sale system operated only by a dynamic IP address to a
purchaser in such a manner that a sale part information is advertised to a
purchase part so that an electronic commerce can be efficiently performed
between a sale part and a purchase part that do not have a system environment
for using a static IP address and domain name service on the internet.

a sale system 230 capable of providing an electronic commerce capable of
selling products, a purchaser 240 who purchases products through the electronic commerce, and an intermediating system 200 capable of
intermediating the sale system 230 and the purchaser 240.
Here, the intermediating system 200 includes a certain database (DB)
and operates an intermediating web page in cooperation with the web server.
The intermediating system 200 transmits and receives a sale system
information from the sale system 230 through the intermediating web server and
updates the database. Here, the sale system information correspond to a
dynamic IP address, a directory name in which a certain internet service is
currently performed, and a communication program version being executed on
the sale system 230. The web site of the intermediating system 200 is designed
to perform as a portal site in which a common user can search information on a
certain internet service and can form a community, etc.
The sale system 230 and the electronic commerce intermediating system
200 are designed to periodically exchange a sale system information using a
certain communication protocol 250 and to update the sale system information
on the database cooperating with the intermediating system 200 whenever a
certain event occurs.
The sale system 230 does not use the static IP address and the domain
name service and operates an electronic commerce web server on the internet
using only the dynamic IP address. The sale system 230 sells a certain product in cooperation with a prototype electronic commerce web server construction
element and a communication program provided from the intermediating system
200.
The purchaser 240 checks a sale system information provided by the
intermediating system 200 using a common web browser on the personal
computer (PC). In the case that the purchaser 240 specifically requests a
certain product through the web browser, a sale system information
corresponding to the request is provided. The purchaser is connected with the
web server of the sale system 230 and purchases the product.
In the case that sale system registers itself as a sale system that handles
only clothes for big size persons, the purchaser visits the intermediating web
page of the intermediating system and searches the sale system that handles
only the clothes for big size persons, so that the intermediating system
searches the sale system that handles the clothes for only big size persons
registered in the database and shows to the purchasers on a certain web page.

protocol is formed of a tag 410, an information size 420 and an information 430
that are repeatedly constructed in the above sequence as a basic sequence.
The tag 410 has a size of 2-byte, and the information size 420 has a size of A-
byte, and the information 430 has a limitless size.
Here, the tag 410 has the following classes. 0x0 represents id, 0x1
represents password, and 0x2 represents version number, and 0x3 represents IP address, and 0x4 represents an internet service name, and 0x5 represents
document root directory name, and 0x6 represents subdirectory name, and 0x7
represents end of message.
The communication protocol temporarily uses one among the non-public
ports of the transmission control protocol TCP. The secure sockets layer (SSL)
using the TCP port 443 may be used for security purpose. The representative
information exchanged by the communication protocol is an ID and password of
the sale system, a communication protocol version number of which
communication protocol may be changed whenever the intermediating system
software is upgraded, and a dynamic IP address newly provided from the
internet service provider whenever the sale system is booted. Therefore, the
communication program of the sale system and the communication process of
the intermediating system syntax-analyze the contents of the TCP protocol for
thereby recognizing whether a certain information is transmitted.
The communication process executed in the intermediating system
syntax-analyzes the TCP contents when it is connected through the
communication program of the sale system. Thereafter, in the case that the ID
and password are matched with the previously registered sale system, all of the
sale system information is received, and the database concerning the sale
system is updated. At this time, the last information from the sale system is an end of message information of the message. The communication process that
detected the above message may end the connection with the same system
after the end of the message is transmitted to the sale system.
The sale system periodically or non-periodically transmits all information
to the communication process of the intermediating system when a certain
event occurs at the sale system based on the event selection model of the
Microsoft windows. Thereafter, the sale system should stay in a listen state until
a connection request is received from the communication process of the
intermediating system.
The communication program of the sale system stays in the listen state
after the information is exchanged with the communication process of the
intermediating system. When the communication process of the intermediating
system wants to transfer a certain information to the sale system, the
communication process of the intermediating system requests a TCP
connection to the communication program of the sale system. The
communication program of the sale system may receive information from the
communication process of the intermediating system by syntax-analyzing the
TCP contents and may start or end together with the parameter that received
the communication program based on the type of the information. In addition,
the communication program of the sale system may change an execution method of the communication program that has already been executed.
In the sale system, if a network event that received a new dynamic IP
address from the internet service provider occurs or an event that changes a
certain service occurs, the communication program of the sale system
exchanges the above information with the communication process of the
intermediating system.
The communication program may change the service that has already
been executed in the sale system in accordance with the above information or
may transmit or receive the communication program of the sale system and the
parameter to/from the communication process that has been executed in the
intermediating system.
Therefore, in the case that the communication program of the sale
system is installed, various initializing variables (for example, services to be
implemented on personal computer, or communication interval with
communication process) may be inputted. The communication program and
internet service program may inform each operation state using the event
selection model and state machine method of the Microsoft company after a
certain internet service is started or ended in the sale system. For example, the
event that receives a new dynamic IP address from the internet service provider
may change a certain state therebetween. The communication program transfers the new dynamic IP address to the communication process of the
intermediating system based on the communication protocol.
Figure 5 is a flow chart of a communication process between the
intermediating system and the sale system of Figure 3 according to an
embodiment of the present invention.
As shown therein, the intermediating system receives a sale system
information such as an encrypted ID and password from the sale system in a
step S500. Here, the sale system is registered in the service of the
intermediating system. The information of the sale system such as the received
ID and password is registered in the database in a step S510. The
intermediating system transmits the prototype electronic commerce web server
construction element to the sale system in a step S530. The prototype
electronic commerce web server construction element includes a web server,
and a directory structure and communication program for the prototype
electronic commerce. When the communication program and the web server
are installed in the sale system, the directory structure for the electronic
commerce is positioned below a certain directory. Here, the web server may be
substituted with an individual web server that is previously installed in the sale
system. When the communication program is executed in the sale system in a
step S540, the intermediating system and the sale system periodically or non- periodically transmit or receive the sale system information such as dynamic IP
address, etc. based on a certain communication protocol in a step S550. The
intermediating system updates the sale system information in the database in a
step S506. The intermediating system opens the sale system information
updated on the database on the intermediating web server in a step S570.
Figure 6 is a flow chart of a communication process between the
intermediating system and the purchaser of Figure 3 according to an
embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 6, the purchaser is connected with the intermediating
web server of the intermediating system through the web browser in a step
S610, the purchaser inputs a certain keyword with respect to the product to be
purchased and requests a sale system information in a step S620. The search
engine of the intermediating system is activated, and a corresponding sale
system information concerning the keyword is aligned in a step S630. The
intermediating system transmits a corresponding sale system information to the
purchaser through the web page in a step S640. The purchaser selects a
detailed information concerning the sale system that sells a desired product
among the received sale system information in a step S650. The intermediating
system collects a detailed information of the sale system updated from the
database in a step S660. The intermediating system transmits the detailed information such as dynamic IP address, etc. of the sale system to the
purchaser through the web server in a step S670.
Figure 7 is a flow chart of a communication process between the sale
system and the purchase of Figure 3 according to an embodiment of the
present invention.
As shown therein, the purchaser is connected with a product sale web
page of the sale system linked through the web page that provides a sale
system information such as dynamic IP address, etc. provided from the
intermediating system in a step S710. The sale system provides a product
information through the web page of its web server in a step S720. The
purchaser transmits a purchase intention message of a desired product in a
step S730. The sale system transmits a payment method selection message of
the product purchase in a step S740. The purchaser selects the payment
method and pays the purchase cost in a step S750. The sale system transmits
a message that the purchase of the product is finished, and the electronic
commerce is completed in a step S760.
Figure 8 is a view illustrating a web page provided from the web server of
the intermediating system to the purchaser according to an embodiment of the
present invention.
As shown therein, the purchaser wants to have a sale system information concerning good quality socks sold at a low cost. The purchaser is connected
with the web page provided from the web server of the intermediating system
through the web browser on his personal computer. Here, the sale system
information may be provided in a certain directory structure format.
The web page shows a plurality of socks sellers under the name of
"seller information/clothes/socks". Here, the purchaser may move to an
electronic document that shows the information of the sale system by selecting
one among the socks sellers (for example, socks seller "E").
The information concerning the selected socks seller "E" is monitored
and shown in real time in the electronic document that shows the sale system
information. In particular, since the socks seller operates the electronic
commerce web server using a dynamic IP address, whenever the current
dynamic IP address is changed, the changed information is shown in real time.
If the web server of the sale system is dead or a certain problem occurs on the
network, it is possible to monitor the problem in real time.
The purchaser may be connected with the electronic commerce web
page provided from the web server of the socks seller "E" based on the
intermediating information of the sale web server of the socks seller E selected.
Figure 9 is a view illustrating the web page provided from the web server
of the sale system to the purchaser according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown therein, the purchaser receives a sale system information of
the socks seller E from the intermediating system as shown in Figure 8 and is
connected with the web page of the electronic commerce web server using a
dynamic IP address (static IP address and domain name service are not used).
The purchaser visits the web page of the socks seller "E" for thereby
achieving a desired electronic commerce. Here, the web page of the socks
seller "E" corresponds to the web page for a common electronic commerce and
provides a product information, stock, payment method, etc. that the socks
seller "E" wants to sell. Therefore, the purchaser receives the information of the
web pages and purchases a desired product on the internet.
