    Method for Comparison Of Commodity Information In Electronic Commerce}
    [5] The present invention relates to a method for comparing commodity information in an electronic commerce and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.
    [6] First, a product comparison method in the conventional electronic commerce will be described.
    [7] In order to compare and analyze the price, performance, and customer satisfaction of one product with other products in order to purchase a product that satisfies the best condition in the existing Internet shopping mall, the customer had to go shopping directly.
    [8] In other words, the existing Internet shopping malls simply took the information of products from the database and displayed them on every page, but there was no comparison function. The customers only searched the products and compared them with their own eyes.
    [9] Therefore, in the conventional technology as described above, there is a problem in that accurate comparison is virtually impossible because the customer had to compare several similar products by herself without knowing what products are in the store.
    [10] In other words, in the existing Internet shopping malls, the customers who visited the shopping mall searched directly to see the price, performance, quality, and other customer satisfaction level of the product, and rely solely on the memory. There is a problem that it is practically impossible to compare and search many products accurately because the products in every corner are not known well.
    [11] Next, the price comparison method in the conventional electronic commerce will be described.
    [12] Internet shopping malls are being created exponentially as the movement of logistics and goods through the Internet is active. Already, more than 10,000 shopping malls, including large general shopping malls and small and medium shopping malls, are already in operation in Korea, so their competition is inevitable.
    [13] Therefore, many marketing strategies have been introduced into shopping mall operations. One of them is price marketing. If you can sell the same product at a lower price than other shopping malls, you will naturally buy the shopping mall. In fact, many shopping mall search engines are searching for products by price range.
    [14] In addition, if the function of such a search engine is brought to a shopping mall and one shopping mall can compare the same product with the price of another shopping mall in real time, it can bring a significant change in marketing of the internet shopping mall. And, naturally, these functions can give customers more room to shop with more information, and such elements can use a large number of customers as new marketing elements. Nevertheless, there is no internet shopping mall using such marketing.
    [15] In other words, in the existing Internet shopping malls as described above, from a customer's point of view of buying goods on the Internet, it is not only difficult and laborious to compare prices by searching many shopping malls one by one to buy a product. Even if you are suffering from such a hardship, even if you bought something, there is a problem that it is difficult to doubt whether you really bought it at a really good price.
    [16] In addition, there is a problem in that the shopping mall operator has to be passively selected by the customer, and his shopping mall does not have a way of actively notifying the customer while selling many products at a low price compared to other shopping malls.
    [17] The present invention is to solve the above problems, by providing information about the products selected by the customer as well as similar products at the same time, by providing information by comparing the information on similar products in other shopping malls for the products selected by the customer An object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable recording medium recording a method for comparing product information in an electronic commerce and a program for realizing the method, so that customers can enjoy reasonable shopping based on various information.
    [1] 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of an electronic commerce system to which the present invention is applied.
    [2] Figure 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of a product comparison method of the product information comparison method in the electronic commerce according to the present invention.
    [3] 3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a price comparison method among commodity information comparison methods in an electronic commerce according to the present invention;
    [4] 4 is an exemplary view showing a result of comparing product information in an electronic commerce according to the present invention.
    [18] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of comparing product information in an electronic commerce system applied to an electronic commerce system. A first step of providing information on goods of the customer to the service access server through the network; A second step of searching for the product information database when the customer selects a product, extracting information about a product similar to the selected product, and providing the extracted information to the customer by comparing the extracted information with the information about the selected product; And a third step of providing an order screen when the customer who has referred to the comparison information on the selected product and the similar product wants to purchase the product.
    [19] In addition, the present invention in the product information comparison method in the electronic commerce applied to the electronic commerce system, retrieves the other shopping mall to retrieve the information on each product provided in the other shopping mall and stored in the other shopping mall product information database in the own shopping mall A first step of managing; A second step of storing and managing information on various types of products in a product information database, and providing information on the various types of products to a customer accessing a service providing server through a network through a homepage; When the customer selects a product, the third shopping mall product information database is searched, and the information about the same or similar product as the selected product is extracted, and the extracted information is compared with the information about the selected product and provided to the customer. Three steps; And a fourth step of providing an order screen when the customer who wants to purchase a product by referring to information on the same or similar product extracted from the selected product and the other shopping mall product information database.
    [20] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
    [21] 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of an electronic commerce system to which the present invention is applied.
    [22] That is, as shown in the figure, the customer 101 is a homepage (interface part) of an operator 108 that provides a shopping mall service according to the present invention through a network 102 such as the Internet (hereinafter, simply referred to as an “interface part”). Visit 105 to search for a product or to purchase a product directly.
    [23] The operator 108 stores and manages information about the goods in the product information database unit 106, and simultaneously provides an introduction to the goods through the interface unit 105.
    [24] When the customer 101 selects a specific product, the control unit 107 obtains information on other products similar to the selected product from the product information database unit 106 and presents the information to the customer.
    [25] The customer 101 compares and selects a desired product from among them by referring to information on similar products provided by the operator as well as information on the selected product.
    [26] In addition, the other shopping mall search unit 104 that is operated independently from the interface unit 105 searches for other shopping malls 103 in real time, collects information on the products provided in the other shopping malls 103 The product information database unit 109 is stored.
    [27] At this time, when the customer selects the product through the interface unit 105, the control unit 107 is the same as or similar to the selected product in the other shopping mall 103 is built in real-time in the other shopping mall product information database unit 109 By providing information about the product through the interface unit 105, the customer can compare the information on the selected product in the own shopping mall 105 and the other shopping mall 103 to select.
    [28] That is, according to the present invention as described above, the customer is provided with information on the similar products provided by the shopping mall he is shopping for the selected goods and price information on the same or similar products sold in other shopping malls. In this case, the information about the product does not only mean the price and performance of the product, but also includes all information that users need to know related to the product, such as product specifications, consumer satisfaction, and A / S degree of the product. to be.
    [29] 2 is a flowchart illustrating a product comparison method among product information comparison methods in an electronic commerce according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the product information comparison method compares price, performance, customer satisfaction, etc. of various products in the same or multiple shopping malls; In the sense of significance, a product comparison method refers to a method of comparing prices and performances of various products in a shopping mall.
    [30] The operator 108 of the shopping mall stores and manages information on various kinds of products in the product information database unit 106, and the various kinds of products through a homepage (interface unit) (hereinafter, simply referred to as an “interface unit”). Information is provided to the customer 101 who is connected via a network 102 such as the Internet (S202).
    [31] The customer 101 selects a desired product by referring to the information on each product provided (S204).
    [32] At this time, when the customer selects a certain product, the control unit 107 searches the product information database unit 106 and extracts information on the selected product and other similar products in performance, price, quality, customer satisfaction, and the like. (S206). The list of various information about the similar products (ie, performance, price, quality, customer satisfaction, etc.) may be arbitrarily selected by the user, or may be provided according to rules predetermined by the operator.
    [33] The extracted information is displayed as shown in FIG. 4 together with the information of the product selected by the customer through the interface unit 105 (S208). In other words, information about product A selected by the customer, as well as price, performance and other data of similar products A is provided.
    [34] Then, the customer compares each product information, selects a suitable product, applies for a purchase, concludes a purchase contract, and then purchases the product (S210).
    [35] For example, if the customer 101 visits the product page of the company A's 17-inch TV through the interface unit 105, the product information database unit does not simply provide information about the company's 17-inch TV. On the screen, information such as price, performance, etc. of 17-inch TVs of B, C, D, etc. extracted from 106 is displayed. Then, of course, the customer will choose and buy a product of a plurality of commodities in a desired condition.

    [38] If the customer 101 searches in real time every time he finds an item, the search process is independent as a separate process because the shopping mall itself has a huge load on the shopping mall itself and a poor performance. In this design, since only the search part can operate a separate server, it is easy to manage and does not affect the load of the shopping mall server in service. However, if it is difficult to search other shopping malls in real time, it is also possible to search periodically (once a day or once a week).
    [39] At the same time, the operator 108 of the shopping mall stores and manages information on various kinds of products in the product information database unit 106, and provides information on the various kinds of products through the interface unit 105 such as the Internet.
