Description

交互式远程拍卖出价系统
技术领域
本发明涉及一种交互式通信系统,尤其涉及一种允许许多出价人从多个远程地点实时参加拍卖的交互式远程拍卖出价系统。
发明背景
在许多工业部门,尤其是在仪器装置工业部门,对于制造商和销售商来说,再出售剩余的产品是一项挑战。过时的新装置和“使用得不多”的产品与直接从生产线下来的产品争夺客户。仪器装置的所有权和使用方式从过去到未来一直在变动之中。尽管大多数产品都是一次性销售给最终用户,现在,有许多工业部门将65%以上的新产品卖给“租赁公司”。售出的仪器装置的未来价值常常是有保证的。通过迫使销售者提供租赁或者未来价值保证,客户已经将所有权风险中的许多要素转移给了制造商和销售商。客户宁可租赁的选择受到多种因素的综合推动,包括更加严格的出租标准、缺乏税收激励、装置越来越复杂越来越专业化、仪器装置在各自工业部门的价值短暂性,以及有越来越多的短期装置租赁方案可供选择,参与竞争。出租、长期租赁和“购回”协议可以使客户使用装置而没有所有权带来的义务和责任。制造商和销售商仍然承担风险,对出租、租赁或者“购回”的装置负责,直到装置最终售出。鉴于上述这些营销技术,并鉴于产品的有效寿命的延长,有更多的产品在首次实质使用之后,仍需要制造商、销售商和其他租赁业者负担或者再出售。在许多情况下,对于新产品的销售来说,最严峻的竞争来自相同的用过的产品,而不是竞争性制造商的新产品。
制造商和销售商可以成功地销售新产品,但在再出售使用过的装置,将所有权义务转移给最终用户方面做得不那么成功。“出售后”的再出售专业人员比如经纪人、贸易商、进出口商和零售拍卖人具有装置的第二次及以后的出售所需的专业经验。这些再出售专业人员的销售活动直接与销售商和制造商出售的新产品竞争。
由于市场在人口方面的分散性,并由于销售商之间通信的不连续,销售商的影响范围仅限于邻近其销售活动的较小的地理区域。在本地贸易区之外,销售商的知识和成功贸易经验是有限的。制造商鼓励专注于“本地”市场。尽管专注“本地”对于新装置的销售可能是有效的,但对于再出售多余装置而言,专注本地会限制购买潜力,是一种无效率而花费高的策略。同时,花费的人力、旅行费用、语言、货币、文化和信息障碍加上在任何单一市场缺乏所需的临界人群(critical mass),使得在本地贸易区之外的努力对于销售商来说昂贵、风险大、无效率,并且常常事与愿违。因此,到目前,用过的装置的再出售都是低效率的。
传统上,用过的装置或者类似物品的拍卖需要将装置运到拍卖地点,由销售者在拍卖地展示。另外,所有的参加竞价者都必须集中在拍卖地。因此,由于将装置和参加者集中起来的费用,这样的拍卖一般都局限于地理上的局部地区。规模对于拍卖的成功是关键性的。规模吸引买方。买方越多,结果越好。产品越专业化,要达到一定规模或者说达到临界人群所需的买方和产品所要旅行的距离就越远。大型装置的运费是昂贵的。如果未能卖出,将装置运到拍卖地,然后又运回,将产生毫无效率和价值的附加费用。这些无用的费用会因为买方要旅行到拍卖地而进一步增加。
因此,需要有一种“实时”的拍卖信息处理系统,能够使分布在广大地理区域的个体参加拍卖而无需集中到拍卖地。还需要有一种系统,允许个体参加拍卖而不需要对买方/出价人所在的远程地点的技术基础设施进行巨大的投资。
发明内容
按照本发明,提供了一种从拍卖地在位于远程地点的参加者之间进行拍卖活动的交互式远程拍卖出价系统。远程地点的每一个参加者利用一个数据输入装置通过网络与拍卖地通信。该系统包括一个位于所述拍卖地的处理器,用来生成出价信息,通过网络发送到所述远程地点。一个位于所述拍卖地的处理器监测所述参加者的数据输入装置,得知由参加者的数据输入装置所生成的参加者出价信息,该系统还在拍卖地显示要在网络上传递给参加者的出价信息。
图面说明
为了更完整地理解本发明以及本发明的其他优点,下面参照附图对优选实施例加以说明,附图中:
图1是所述系统的一个方框图;
图2到图4是流程图,用来说明本发明的总体过程。
优选实施方式的详细说明
见图1,图中示出了一个交互式远程拍卖出价系统,用来在位于远程地点的各参加者之间进行拍卖,该系统整体用标记10表示。该系统10允许位于远程地点12、12a、12b-12n的参加者通过通信网络16与一个拍卖地14通信。在每一个远程地点12有一个数据输入装置18。数据输入装置18可以包括,例如,一个普通的带有键盘、能够产生双音多频(DTMF,dual-tone multi-frequency)信号的TouchTone电话。另外,数据输入装置18可以包括一个蜂窝电话、双向寻呼机、其他的无线电发射机/应答机,或者个人计算机,用来生成出价接受数据,以在网络16上传递到拍卖地14。每个远程地点12还包括一个显示装置20。显示装置20通过网络16接收来自拍卖地14的信息,可以包括,例如普通电视机、可视电话会议显示器,或者个人计算机显示器。远程地点12和网络16之间的通信是通过通信链接22、22a、22b-22n进行的。
通信网络16可以包括,例如但不限于,一个普通的电话网络、蜂窝网络、卫星通信系统、电缆广播系统以及电视广播系统。网络16可以由各种类型的通信系统组合而成,用来在远程地点12和拍卖地14之间传递数据。网络16的配置取决于远程地点12的参加者所使用的装置的类型,最简单的形式包括一个电话交换网络和广播电视系统,在其最现代的形式中,所述配置包括因特网。
拍卖地14是远离参加者,接受出价和控制拍卖的远程地点。拍卖由位于拍卖地14的拍卖人24控制。拍卖人24的能力类似于参加者聚集于拍卖地的普通拍卖中的拍卖人的能力。要在拍卖地14拍卖的装置可以,也可以不实际位于拍卖地14。位于拍卖地14的是一个接收/发送处理器26,后者通过网络16从远程地点12接收出价信息并向所述远程地点12发送出价信息。接收/发送处理器26可以包括,例如,一个双音多频接收器/处理器,来监测由输入装置18在每个远程地点12生成的DTMF信号。另外,处理器26可以包括语音识别技术,用来接收和识别来自输入装置18的语音输入。处理器28能够识别和监测远程地点12的每个输入装置,并通过网络16与每一个远程地点12通信。
另外,处理器26通过终端30接收下文将要说明的拍卖初始化参数。初始化参数由拍卖人24选择并通过终端30输入处理器26。处理器26控制一个位于拍卖地14的显示器32。显示器32显示信息,例如询价、当前出价、出价人标识、出价人地点以及拍卖货号。当拍卖跨国界进行时,询价和当前出价可以以多种外国货币单位显示。处理器26生成的显示在显示器32上的信息通过广播系统34传递到远程地点的参加者。广播系统34可以是普通的广播电视系统,其输出通过通信链接36提供给网络16。广播系统34可以是普通的电视系统,还可以是卫星通信系统、电缆网络等等。广播系统34生成的信息显示在每个远程地点12的显示器20上。广播系统34可以捕捉在拍卖地14进行拍卖的拍卖人24的现场图像,包括被拍卖的装置的图像和其他细节。这样,远程地点12的每个参加者在拍卖过程中就好像是实际出席了拍卖地14。广播系统34还捕捉显示在显示器32上的信息以传递到每个远程地点12。这样,在拍卖过程中,每个出价人都可以获得出价过程中的实时信息。
现在看图2。在开始拍卖之前,首先在每个远程地点12和拍卖地14之间通过网络16建立通信路径。例如,远程地点12a的一个出价人用一台电话输入装置18电话访问拍卖地14。在步骤40,出价人可以拨打1-800号码到拍卖地14,建立通过链接22a、网络16和链接28到达接收/发射处理器26的通信路径。在步骤42,处理器26向参加者发送一个欢迎词以告知远程地点12a的参加者已收到呼叫,并提示输入参加者的口令。听到提示后,参加者用输入装置18输入一个口令。在步骤44,处理器26进行判断,确定参加者是否输入了正确的口令。如果未输入口令,在步骤46,处理器26就终止该电话的访问。如果输入了正确的口令且处理器26收到了,处理器26就在步骤48提示远程地点12a的参加者输入个人身份识别号(PIN,personalidentfication number)。参加者然后就通过输入装置18输入该参加者的PIN号码。在步骤50,处理器26判断是否收到了正确的PIN号码。如果未收到,就在步骤52终止该电话访问。如果收到了,处理器26就在步骤54提示参加者输入该参加者的出价人编号。在步骤56,处理器26判断参加者是否输入了正确的出价人编号。如果出价人编号输入且被接受,过程就前进到步骤70(图3)。
在步骤58,如果处理器26判断出远程地点12a的参加者未输入正确的出价人编号,就给该参加者分配一个出价人编号。然后,在步骤60,处理器26提示参加者输入出价人编号。在步骤62,该参加者就输入新分配的出价人编号,由处理器26判断是否已输入。在步骤64,如果未输入出价人编号,就终止电话访问。在步骤62如果出价人编号不正确,过程就前进到步骤70(图3)。
此时,在拍卖开始之前,远程地点12的每个参加者就通过网络16与拍卖地14链接起来了。处理器26通过已建立的通信链接连续不断地监测远程地点12的每一个输入装置18,并向每一个远程地点12发送数据。在拍卖开始之前,可以向每一个远程地点12发送比如销售信息、拍卖信息和指南、音乐等等数据。
现在看图3。在拍卖开始之前,在步骤66,初始化各种参数并显示在拍卖地14。拍卖人24通过终端30向处理器26输入与拍卖货号、最初询价、预定的增幅、参加拍卖的各远程地点的货币单位的外国货币兑换系数等有关的数据。处理器26利用所述信息生成供显示器32显示的数据。显示器32依次向广播系统34提供数据,后者将显示器32上的信息通过通信链接36、网络16和通信链接22发送到远程地点12的显示器20上。这样,在每批拍卖货物开始拍卖之前,每个参加者都占有与拍卖货号、询价以及以拍卖所涉及的任何外国货币表示的等价询价有关的信息。在整个拍卖过程中,随时更新显示器32,以反映拍卖中的实际出价(还可以包括取代最后出价所需的额度),使得远程地点12的每一个参加者能够实时参加拍卖,并拥有当前的出价信息。“实时”显示和参加的效果是,即使可能存在某些微小的通信/计算迟延,参加者仍能够有效地与拍卖过程交互作用,看到拍卖过程的当前信息,就好像参加者实际出席了拍卖地14一样。
另一个初始化的参数是出价被接受的时间或者说循环时间。该参数也可以由拍卖人24在拍卖时调整。
系统初始化后,在步骤70,处理器26开始接受来自远程地点12的参加者的出价。远程地点12的参加者利用输入装置18生成出价接受信号,例如按下电话输入装置18键盘上的“#”键。不希望输入出价的参加者则不要触动电话上的任何键。在处理器26具有语音识别能力的情况下,参加者可用向输入装置18输入语音比如“yip”的方式表示接受出价。在步骤72,处理器26持续不断地监测通信链接28,获取输入的出价。
在步骤74,处理器26判断出价是否被接受。在步骤76,如果某个参加者的出价未被接受,就向其出价未被接受的每一个参加者生成有关反馈信息。该反馈信息可以包括由发射机26生成的预先确定的音调,例如喇叭声或者“出价未被接受,请再次出价”的语音,通过装置18传递到参加者。在步骤78,如果出价被接受,就向所述参加者生成有关反馈信息,例如在发射机生成一个声音,如“蜂鸣”声或者“出价被接受”的语音,向远程地点12的特定参加者指示出价已被接受。在步骤80,判断远程地点12的特定参加者是否确实出价了。在步骤78发给出价人的反馈信号包括要求确认该参加者是否出价的提示。该参加者可以按下输入装置18的电话键盘上的某个键来确认出价。如果该出价未被确认,随后就向该参加者发出提示,可以将该参加者转接到一个帮助台号码。但是,如果在预定的时间之后没有收到确认,就可以在步骤82禁止该参加者参加以后的出价过程。或者,在某些实施例中,可以假定已经列在屏幕上的参加者都是诚实的,而跳过步骤80以提高速度。在这种情况下,仅在下面的步骤102对胜出的出价进行确认。
假设从特定的参加者收到了“该参加者做出过出价”的确认(或者跳过了确认步骤),显示器32就在步骤82更新。显示器32产生当前的出价、出价人的地点和出价人标识。在步骤84,还向拍卖人24提供出价接受信息。在拍卖出价过程的此时刻,每个参加者都收到实时的信息,告知接受出价和拍卖的当前状态。拍卖的所有参加者都知道出价人的地点、以参加者的货币表示的被接受的出价的数额,以及被接受的出价的出价人标识号码。
然后,在步骤86,由拍卖人24决定该被接受的出价是否是该拍卖货号的最终询价。如果是,过程就前进到步骤100(图4)。在步骤86,如果该出价不是最终询价,就按照在步骤66的初始化确立的预定增幅提高询价。然后在步骤90,显示器32更新提高了的询价。另外,当竞价接近最终出价时,拍卖人24可以实时调整新的询价。新的询价然后通过广播系统34发送到参加者。询价被提高后,在处理器26开始接受来自地点12的参加者的新出价之前,处理器26中设置有预定的延迟。这样,处理器26就可以控制随后的出价接受以防止系统10溢出,并建立一个出价接受时间窗口。基于特定的出价环境和参加者的积极性,拍卖人可以调整该迟延。在显示器32用当前的出价信息更新,并且预定的迟延过去之后,就在步骤70接受新出价。随着询价的提高和被接受,过程继续,直到在步骤86,拍卖人判断最终询价已被接受,过程然后就前进到步骤100(图4)。
拍卖人24可以给出一个警告,告知当前的出价即将被接受为获胜出价。该警告可以通过音频反馈(比如鼓声)或者视频反馈(比如闪动的出价或者出价颜色的改变)发送到显示器32上。拍卖人24接受最终出价时也可以在显示器32上生成实时反馈,比如钹声或者在出价额旁边显示可视的接受标记。接受最终出价之后,拍卖人就锁定或者禁止所有参加者进入,只允许获胜的出价人前进到确认过程。
现在看图4。在接受最终询价后,在步骤100,最终出价人被告知其最终出价为获胜出价。在步骤102,处理器26通知获胜的出价人,并提示该出价人进行确认。如果未收到确认,就在步骤104发给拍卖人24一个通知。拍卖人24然后向终端30发出指令,与所述获胜的出价人通信。在步骤102,如果收到了确认,就在步骤106判断前一货号是否为该次拍卖的最后货号。如果是,就在步骤108终止远程地点12和拍卖地14之间的呼叫通信路径。拍卖人也可以选择在前一出价的基础上向所有观众重新开标。如果还有货号要拍卖,过程前进到步骤66(图3),初始化并显示要拍卖的下一货号的新参数。
在出价过程中,处理器26保存每一个参加者的响应的监测记录,无论其出价是否被接受。
因此可以看到,本发明所提供的远程拍卖出价系统使得远离拍卖地的地点的参加者可以交互地参加拍卖。参加者通过电视会议、广播电视、卫星、电缆或因特网传输观看实时的视频广播,并利用输入装置比如传统的电话发送出价信息。拍卖能够考虑并接收来自具有不同文化、语言和货币的远程参加者的出价。在本发明中,为了参加利用本系统进行的拍卖,可以利用更为复杂一点的通信装置例如包括双向寻呼机、语音识别系统和因特网,但是,普通的电话装置可以提供简单、廉价的通信平台。通信网络仅仅需要有电话基础设施,该基础设施可以基于例如普通的长途电话线、蜂窝系统和卫星通信系统。本发明的系统的规模是可变的,以基于拍卖地所用的通信处理器的规模,适应无限多的参加者。另外,拍卖地和远程地点之间通过网络16进行的数据通信可以利用数据的加密而确保安全。
尽管结合本发明的特定实施例对本发明进行了描述,但应当理解,对于本领域的技术人员来说,可以提出各种变更和修改,本发明包括落在所附权利要求范围内的这样的变更和修改。
