Focuses on B2C between corporate sellers and individual buyers, and in some open markets, C2C between individual sellers and individual buyers is partially possible.The product itself to be sold through the actual shopping mall is a traditional B2B that uses a separate contract relationship. Since the method is being used, there is a big problem with the management burden of the seller.

Therefore, in order to satisfy all sellers, suppliers, and buyers using the shopping mall platform, C2C, B2C, and B2B are all integrated support such as multilingual support and functions to link sellers and suppliers in addition to the functions for building and operating the usual shopping mall. There is a growing demand for a new shopping mall platform that can be provided.

In addition, the service server may be of various types of server configurations including a single computer, a parallel computer, and a distributed computer, and may be a virtual server including various physical configurations such as a cloud server.

A configuration other than this embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram showing a shopping mall platform system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated seller 20, the supplier 30, the buyer 30, and the manager 50 must use the seller terminal, the supplier terminal, the buyer terminal and the manager terminal to exchange information with the service server 10, so the actual service Each terminal is connected to the server 10 to exchange information, but the term'terminal' is omitted in order to clarify the subject of the action to explain the concept of the invention. Therefore, even if the'terminal' is omitted, the means for exchanging actual information with the service server 10 should be interpreted as being through the'terminal'.

As shown, the service server 10 providing the shopping mall platform according to the embodiment of the present invention is an individual shopping mall to a specific seller 20 by having a plurality of sellers 20, buyers 40, and suppliers 30 as members. (11) is provided (a shopping mall with a unique access address (URL) for the seller can be constructed in a simple way by providing a shopping mall construction template, etc.), and the product registered by the seller (20) in each region It is provided to the buyers 40a and 40b in the language of each buyer. The manager 50 may handle various settings of the service server 10, requests or complaints about the platform of each purchaser, seller, or supplier.

The service server 10 to which the shopping mall platform according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied basically supports the establishment of the shopping mall by the seller 20 through various templates, and is suitable for the current online shopping environment with improved import and export convenience. It supports multiple languages so that it provides an automated support function for the general operation of a known general shopping mall. For example, it provides functions related to shopping mall operation, including shopping mall exposure and product registration, product search, payment linkage, order management, delivery and delivery management, event management, point generation and use management, and inquiry management.

Here, the service server 10 to which the shopping mall platform according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied, when building a shopping mall by the seller 20, configures several shopping malls in a single area and assigns seller information to each seller instead of a method of distinguishing by tagging each seller. By configuring a star table to separate the seller information logically as well as physically, even if the number of sellers (the number of shopping malls) increases, it prevents delays in search or decreases in performance, and prevents the leakage of seller information to other sellers. do.

Furthermore, the service server 10 to which the shopping mall platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied provides a function to separate the provider 30 from the general seller 20 and interwork with the seller 10. In the invention, the supplier 30 means a manufacturer, wholesaler, or vendor that supplies products to the seller 20.

That is, in order for the seller 20 to actually sell the product, the product must be purchased from another vendor, wholesaler, or manufacturer, unless it is directly manufactured. In general, transactions with such a supplier have been managed separately from the shopping mall. Therefore, in the case of the seller 20, the stock is checked according to the order, and if the stock is insufficient, the stock is updated by placing an order to a vendor, wholesaler or manufacturer (ie, supplier) that you know knowing knowing, and confirming the delivery. The process was handled manually or using a separate management system.

Therefore, complex management for product supply and demand is required separately from product management through shopping mall operation, cost settlement management, and import/export management, and separate accounting management is required for integrated management in the future. It is considerable.

In addition, unless the seller is dealing with various wholesalers or manufacturers, it may be relatively disadvantageous in terms of product supply or price due to transactions with limited suppliers, and on the contrary, it is difficult for suppliers to easily find suitable sellers. In other words, when a supplier enters a general open market to find a seller, it is difficult to conduct competitive sales because both the sales price and strategy are exposed. Therefore, it is still possible to find a customer through traditional sales or promotion, and a B2B system can be used, but a certain level or higher. As only limited sellers use the system, it is difficult to easily transact with various levels of sellers.

In view of this problem, the service server 10 to which the shopping mall platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied allows the seller 20 and the supplier 30 to be easily linked, and the supplier 30 of the seller 20 is designated. And according to the selection of the ordered product, product order information is generated and provided to the supplier 30, and delivery, inventory management, and settlement are also integrated accordingly, as well as various suppliers through the management page of the seller 20 ( 30) is introduced to support the easy start of transactions with various suppliers (30).

In particular, as a cost for operating such a shopping mall platform, it is possible to pay for the merchant's entry, shopping mall construction, and shopping mall operation.Since it is possible to secure additional operating costs by providing advertisements introducing suppliers to sellers, it is possible to provide stable services as well as various Event provision becomes possible.

A platform provided by the service server 10 to which the shopping mall platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described in more detail.

Through this configuration, platform services for easy shopping mall construction and operation are provided to sellers, and effective multilingual support as well as means for linking with suppliers are provided.

Here, the product registration unit 130 included in the shopping mall preparation unit may provide a product registration template for each category for one or more products to the seller terminal, and may guide whether or not a prohibited product is registered according to the registered product type. For example, after configuring information on a prohibited item in a product category database, it is possible to check whether a product registered through a template is a prohibited item, and notify the seller or manager.

In order to support multiple languages, the illustrated shopping mall operation unit 160 may include a multilingual dictionary including multilingual information corresponding to each piece of information constituting the shopping mall.

Furthermore, since the seller may directly register multilingual product descriptions when registering products by category in the product registration unit 130, the multilingual dictionary analyzes information registered in multiple languages for similar products and automatically translates appropriate words for the product. B It may be a dictionary to which weights are assigned so that terms, boilerplate phrases, phrases or sentences can be selected. Product registration information analysis and weighting for such a multilingual dictionary may be performed by the multilingual dictionary management unit 140.

Meanwhile, in order to increase the effect of multilingual support, the shopping mall operation unit 160 collects information used as a keyword among multilingual information registered by different buyers for similar products in the same category, and statistically selects keywords that are registered more than the standard recently. Upon registration, it may be exposed through the product registration unit 130 or may be added as a hidden search keyword for the registered product. This may be performed by the multilingual dictionary management unit 140 instead of the shopping mall operation unit 160.

The order management unit 190 divides the collected order information into products that require delivery, identifies inventory, and manages whether or not an order is required, and manages delivery and delivery, and an order information management unit that is registered in response to an order that requires order (the seller (Registered as their own supplier) is provided to the seller terminal, and after generating and transmitting an order form for the selected supplier through the seller terminal, the delivery is verified to generate inventory update and settlement information, and the supplier Purchasing management department that generates supplier access information including order information and order information, delivery and settlement information for orders, and order, inventory, order and delivery, order settlement and order that can be checked through channels accessible through Provides the Accounting and Statistics Department, which provides accounting processing and statistics for settlement information, a channel through which suppliers registered by the seller can access, provides order information to the supplier, and provides supplier access information generated by the purchase management unit. It includes a supply member linking unit provided to the provider terminal through an access channel.

That is, this order management unit 190 is part of the function of providing a management page provided by the platform for the operation of the seller shopping mall, through which it can perform the tasks that the seller actually needs after receiving the order in an integrated and efficient manner. To support.

On the other hand, such a supply member linkage unit provides information or advertisements for a supplier that has not yet been registered as a supplier of the seller (a supplier not registered as a supplier of the seller), although the seller supplies the product registered through the product registration unit 130 It may further include a supplier proposal unit to provide detailed information or register as a supplier according to the selection of the seller terminal. Through this, sellers can easily identify various suppliers (manufacturer, wholesaler, or vendor) supplying the products they sell and start trading, and suppliers can acquire various sellers as customers and integrate them using an integrated platform. And transparent management becomes possible.

FIG. 4 is a partial configuration diagram of an order management unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates an exemplary configuration of a purchase management unit 190b and a supply member linkage unit 190a.

The purchase management unit 190b includes a supplier register in which a seller selects and registers a supplier member as his supplier. The supplier register includes business information (business information, representative information, address information, account information, etc.) and It may include information for sending and receiving information about contracts.

In addition, the purchase management unit 190b provides a supplier selection unit for providing pre-registered supplier information to the seller terminal in response to an order requiring an order, and selecting a supplier selected through the seller terminal as a supplier for the corresponding order, and a supplier selection unit It includes an order form generation unit that generates and transmits the order form to be provided to the supplier selected from.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a shopping mall platform having a supplier linkage and multilingual support function according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, a process in which a shopping mall platform server provides an integrated shopping mall service to a seller is shown so that the features of the present invention can be easily checked.

First, a seller terminal connected to the shopping mall platform providing server performs member registration, establishes a shopping mall, and enters a store (or uses a unique access URL). In this process, basic information on seller members is collected and reviewed to perform member registration, and basic information on use of sellers can be input. For example, when a product is exposed in several countries, information necessary for accounting or exposure of various seller products, such as exchange rate application standards for each country's currency, payment method, and tax application method, may be input as basic information for use.

Here, the exchange rate application standard for each country's currency is that the price of the product may be displayed by applying a variable exchange rate each time, but in order to reduce the complexity and increase the convenience of price comparison, the seller can set an individual conversion exchange rate fixed. For example, Chinese renminbi is 0.6% (e.g., 600 yuan for domestic 100,000 won products), and Japanese yen is 12% (e.g., 12,000 yen for domestic 100,000 won products), and the Korean won can be converted and displayed according to the set ratio. have.

The seller selects a desired category using the product registration function of the corresponding shopping mall platform providing server, selects one of the provided templates, and registers the product by entering information on the product. In this case, multiple (for example, 10) products can be registered at once, product information for each language can be registered for multilingual support, and multilingual product registration can be performed through an automatic translation function.

In this case, filtering may be performed on whether a product registered as part of the product registration function is a prohibited product or restricted by import or export country, and the result may be notified to the seller.

For the registered product, the seller can register by designating a supplier who will supply the registered product. Such supplier registration can be registered after designation through the known supplier member information, and the supplier can be registered after confirming the relevant supplier proposal information.
