Description

Method and System that perform Electronic Commerce using Point of Sales (POS) System}

Point of Sales (POS) refers to information management at the point of sale. That is, by attaching a code indicating a manufacturer or a product name to an article, the sales information is automatically stored at the time of sale, so that information at the time of sale is stored in real time and information management is performed based on this.

POS SYSTEM is a distributor that connects the POS of an offline store and the computer of a computer room online to integrate the data at the point of sale in real time, and then analyze and evaluate the integrated information based on this. Is a comprehensive sales management and customer management system.

POS system is divided into POS for department stores, POS for discount stores, POS for supermarkets, POS for specialty stores, POS for restaurants, and the like. Depending on the function, it is classified into PC-POS or ROM-POS. It is also classified into a wireless force (POS) or a wired force (POS) according to a communication method.

POS System is composed of a stand-alone type that uses only POS Terminals, a client server structure with management servers in the office and several terminals in the store, and several stores. It can be divided into a multi-store type POS system.

POS SYSTEM is largely composed of POS terminal, communication section and computer section. The term POS refers to a sector that acts as a cash register in an offline store. The communications sector is the delivery of data from POS terminals to computers. The computer sector is the sector that collects, archives, aggregates and analyzes the transmitted data.

Hereinafter, a configuration of an existing POS system will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a force system installed in one existing store.

A force database 105 having a server management server 100 in the store and storing product information and price information is connected to the server management server 100.

Store management server 100 is coupled to the force terminals (110, 120), the number of force terminals (110, 120) is different depending on the size of the store. The scanners 115 and 125 are connected to the force terminal so that the barcode of the article is read through a label attached to the article without calculation of the price of the article, and calculation is performed according to previously stored information.

In addition, barcodes, product names, prices, specifications, etc. are printed on labels, and when barcode-free items are defined by the store itself, the barcodes are attached to the goods in advance, and the purchase, sales, and inventory are automated in connection with POS system. The barcode printer 135 used is connected.

In addition, the electronic scale 130 which can automate the sales according to the price change by automatically linking with the POS system without inputting a price every time in the item changed according to the weight is also included in the POS system. It is connected to the server 100 for store management.

2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a POS system of a multi-store type in which a plurality of stores and a management headquarters server are installed in a head office.

The plurality of offline stores in which the POS systems 210, 215, 220, and 225 are built are connected to the management headquarters 200 via the network 205. The offline store in which the connected POS systems 210, 215, 220, and 225 are built is controlled and controlled by the management headquarters 200. Therefore, the management headquarters 200 may integrate and manage several offline stores, and is a distributed and integrated management system that can grasp the sales, inventory, and sales status of a plurality of offline stores in real time. Therefore, the management headquarters 200 can grasp all information related to the transaction, and the information thus obtained is used as basic data for identifying sales, inventory, and sales status. Other peripherals required include printers, labelers, and hand terminals.

This force system offers the following advantages:

First, customers can reduce the waiting time for calculations, improve customer confidence, and expand the opportunity to buy high-quality and fresh items. In addition, it can provide various customer conveniences and extend service benefits.

For the store, sales can be calculated quickly and accurately and the settlement time can be shortened. In addition, it is possible to minimize the sell-out of popular goods and new goods, to easily keep track of the inventory of goods and to simplify the ordering system of goods. This system enables efficient customer management and offline store management.

In terms of logistics, it is possible to reduce price tagging work by using attached bar codes, and secure efficient logistics supply and demand. In addition, the assortment of the goods can be easily adjusted, and the introduction and evaluation of the new goods is easy. Inventory can be optimized, minimizing item losses. These force systems are well suited for small, multi- and high-frequency orders with fast, accurate orders. In addition, poor sales, long-term inventory or epidemic items and popular items can be easily extracted to increase the efficiency of purchase or sale.

In terms of management, cash management can be improved and personnel management is easy. It can also actively respond to customer needs and market trends and reduce inventory management costs by maintaining adequate inventory. Computers can perform tasks such as statistics, ordering, and inventory management to reduce workload and improve inefficient tasks. In other words, it is possible to reconsider the management balance and rethink external competitiveness by promptly analyzing the business and understanding the current status.

However, this is a POS system that has its advantages, but it is only connected to the POS server in the online store and the main server of the computer room. Although the Web POS system was used to manage the information management at the point of sale on the web, this is just a network that can be managed remotely to manage the range in the offline store.

E-commerce refers to all economic activities such as advertisements, orders, purchases of goods and services that companies or consumers perform on a computer communication network, that is, transactions of goods and services between consumers and companies through the Internet. In general, e-commerce is involved in all transactional activities, from searching for items in Internet shopping malls to delivery and settlement. In other words, e-commerce itself refers to all economic activities such as advertisements, orders, and purchases of goods and services that companies or consumers perform on computer communication networks.

In addition, the current electronic commerce system is proceeding mainly by the online store on the network. That is, such an e-commerce is a situation in which the offline store owns a plurality of homepages or deals with the Internet divided into shopping malls, and there is no direct link between the actual offline store and the online store. In addition, in such a situation that the connection is not made, the price of the online store and the price of the offline store are different, causing consumers to confuse and distrust of the price. Consumers waste time exploring various shopping malls to purchase at a lower price. Moreover, even if the time for shopping purchase is shortened through the network, the addition of delivery time takes more than one day to reach the consumer's hands after purchase. In addition, due to the vastness of the data and difficulty of retrieval, it takes a lot of time for the consumer to search for the item to be purchased, and the price of the desired item varies widely from mall to mall. In addition, offline stores and online stores are less reliable from consumers due to price differences.

In addition, the e-commerce based on such an online store does not solve the anxiety such as return and after-sales service.

Although e-commerce is carried out through linkage with offline companies, this is rudimentary. In other words, there was a difficulty in sharing price information in real time on a network for articles whose price fluctuates in an offline manner.

In addition to these problems, online purchases have not been activated due to delivery problems in the agricultural, livestock and livestock markets. Even if the market for agricultural and livestock products was established on the network, it was difficult to reflect real-time price fluctuations due to the specificity of the market for agricultural and livestock products and livestock products.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, while integrating an online store represented by an offline store and the Internet while making an online store without an intermediary, and constructing an online offline integrated electronic commerce network. In more detail, the integrated electronic commerce network as described above is based on an offline store in which a POS system is built, and an online product in which prices change from time to time is reflected online.

Another object of the present invention is to apply the changed price to the e-commerce system on the Internet in real time when the price changes in the POS (off-line store).

Another object of the present invention is to introduce the e-commerce in the POS SYSTEM environment, overlapping the input of the goods receipt status of the goods performed by a plurality of offline stores and management headquarters when the goods registration and price change, input of the price change situation, etc. To avoid work.

Another object of the present invention is to increase the efficiency of work by simultaneously sharing the price of goods in the POS (POS) and the price in electronic commerce on the Internet.

Another object of the present invention is to share the members of the POS system and members of a large online store, overcoming the difficulty of attracting members and sharing members.

Another object of the present invention is to solve the anxiety about online transactions by not only providing and selling goods through direct transactions between consumers and offline stores, but also through payment and logistics.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for integrating an online market and an offline market into one distribution market so that all offline sellers can e-commerce with buyers online.
