Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stock futures auction server and program for providing a place for stock futures auctions.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Companies usually store some or all of the products they obtain in a warehouse. However, it is ideal to distribute the inventory without staying in the warehouse and to reduce defective inventory that has been in the warehouse for a long time. When a company tries to dispose of inventory, there is a method of using an inventory disposal EC (Electric Commerce) site. However, the conventional inventory disposal EC site exhibits a spot and performs matching first-come-first-served basis, so it can only dispose of the existing inventory. In addition, even if a company is afraid of future unsold sales and intends to make futures trading, the traditional trading of futures trading is for exchanges that specialize in products that cause market fluctuations (interest rates, red beans, corn, grapes, etc.) Since there are limited trading products, there is no place for other products to avoid risk for future unsold goods. Also, even if you try to auction a product, regular auctions are price-preferred, and if you sell a lot of lots like product inventory, sell to the bidder who gave the highest bid price for a part of the lot, There is no mechanism to sell the remaining lots to the bidder with the next highest bid.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an inventory futures auction server and program that provide a place for futures auctions for stocks of arbitrary products.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and the present invention provides:An inventory futures auction server that provides an auction site for futures targeting unspecified products according to access from exhibitor terminals and bidder terminals connected via a communication network.

[0005]
  As a result, exhibitor companies can eliminate defective inventory, and by incorporating the auction site provided by the server of the present invention into the production plan, the plan can be afforded and lead time can be reduced. Shortening becomes possible. On the other hand, companies that become bidders can purchase goods at a very low cost by waiting, and purchase rights are not given only to those with the highest bid price. More opportunities than usual auctions.In addition, this makes it possible for the exhibitor to receive a penalty fee from the exhibitor even if the exhibitor cannot prepare the product of the quantity originally planned by the exhibitor and the sales volume equivalent to the bidder's successful bid quantity cannot be prepared. Will be paid. This also allows the exhibitor to pay an appropriate penalty fee according to the quantity of successful bids that cannot be prepared, and there is no need to pay an unnecessary penalty fee.
[0008]
  The above stock futures auction serverThe bid acceptance unit is included in the bid information received from the bidder's terminalBid priceIs included in the product information of the product stored in the exhibition database for bid informationMore than the minimum bid priceIf it is, process to accept the bidIt is characterized by that.

The bidder a, the bidder b, the bidder c, and the bidder d who viewed the auction site transmit bid information including a bid price (unit price) and a bid quantity from each terminal 22, 23, 24, 25. The stock futures auction server 15 determines a winning priority and a winning quantity based on the determined conditions from the received bid information, stores the results of the determination as a table, exhibitor A, bidder a, bidder b, The bidder c and the bidder d are notified of the successful bid result by e-mail or the like. Exhibitor A sells the product at the store during that time. Exhibitor A uses terminal 21 to transmit information related to the exhibition confirmed quantity, which is the quantity that can be actually sold on the auction site, to a stock futures auction server 15 by a predetermined time. The stock futures auction server 15 calculates the sales amount that can be actually purchased by the bidder from the received confirmed exhibition quantity, the stored table information, and the like. If the confirmed exhibition quantity is less than the planned exhibition quantity, the inventory futures auction server 15 calculates a penalty fee that the exhibitor pays to the bidder. The inventory futures auction server 15 notifies the exhibitor A, bidder a, bidder b, bidder c, and bidder d of the result by e-mail or the like.
[0015]
The terminal 21, terminal 22, terminal 23, terminal 24, terminal 25 and inventory futures auction server 15 are connected via a communication network 50 such as an Internet public network as shown in FIG. In the following description, the communication network 50 is described using the Internet as an example.
In this embodiment, the exhibitor A, the bidder a, the bidder b, the bidder c, and the bidder d, who are users, access the inventory futures auction server 15 in advance using each terminal, and the user name (company name) ), User information such as address and e-mail address is transmitted and user registration is performed. The stock futures auction server 15 records the transmitted user information in a DB (database) or the like by assigning a user ID.
[0016]
Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an inventory future auction server that realizes an auction site for unspecified inventory. In FIG. 1, 15 is an inventory futures auction server. In the stock futures auction server 15, reference numeral 1 denotes an exhibition reception unit, which receives product information as an exhibition request transmitted from the exhibitor's terminal. Reference numeral 2 denotes an exhibition DB, which is a database that records product information received by the exhibition reception unit 1. An auction site management unit 3 manages an auction site that provides a place for an inventory future auction opened on the inventory futures auction server 15 or another server. Reference numeral 4 denotes a bid reception unit that receives bid information transmitted from the bidder's terminal. Reference numeral 5 denotes a timer management unit, which gives a time stamp to bid information. A bid DB 6 records each bid information. Reference numeral 7 denotes a priority order determination unit, which determines the bidder priority order and the number of successful bidders. Reference numeral 8 denotes a management DB, which records data such as the determined successful bid priority order. Reference numeral 9 denotes an exhibition quantity reception unit, which receives the confirmed exhibition quantity (the quantity that can actually be sold) transmitted from the exhibitor's terminal. Reference numeral 10 denotes a penalty fee calculation unit that determines a sales amount, and calculates a penalty fee that an exhibitor pays to a bidder who cannot purchase a product when the confirmed exhibition quantity is smaller than the planned exhibition quantity. Reference numeral 11 denotes a notification unit that notifies the exhibitors and bidders of various results recorded in the management DB 8 by e-mail.
[0017]
Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the following example, Exhibitor A sells a product with a cost of 60 yen and a list price of 100 yen at an exhibitor's store for 80 yen. The stock of the merchandise is 60, and the auction site of this embodiment is used in order to ensure the sale of 40 of these.
[0018]
The exhibitor accesses the auction site by the stock futures auction server 15 by connecting to the Internet 50 using his / her terminal and inputting a user ID. Next, the exhibitor inputs product information including a product name, a planned exhibition quantity, a minimum bid price, and the like, and transmits product information to be an exhibition request to the inventory futures auction server 15. Here, it is assumed that exhibitor A inputs and transmits the following product information using terminal 21.
Product name ： ○○○
Expected exhibition volume: 40
Minimum bid price (unit price): 60 yen
Deadline: x year x month x day
Execution date: △ year △ month △ day
Penalty: 5% of the minimum bid price
The above-mentioned deadline date is the deadline date for auction bidding, and the above-mentioned execution date is the date on which the product is actually bought and sold. The above penalty is a penalty fee that the exhibitor pays to the bidder in the case of failure to execute the contract. The value (5% here) used when calculating the penalty fee is referred to as the penalty rate. The exhibitor can arbitrarily determine the product information described above, including a penalty.
[0019]
In the inventory futures auction server 15, when the exhibition reception unit 1 receives the product information as described above from the exhibitor's terminal, it records the received product information in the exhibition DB 2 by assigning an exhibition ID (step S1). The auction site management unit 3 refers to the exhibition DB 2, uploads the exhibitor's product information, etc., to the auction site and publishes it, and starts accepting bids (step S2).
[0020]
The bidder accesses the auction site by the stock futures auction server 15 by using his / her terminal within the period (deadline) for which the exhibited product can be bid (step S3). A bidder who sees the auction site and wishes to make a successful bid for the product inputs the bid quantity and the bid price, and sends bid information including a bid price and the bid quantity to the inventory futures auction server 15. Upon receiving the bid information at the bid acceptance unit 4, the inventory futures auction server 15 assigns a reception time stamp by the timer management unit 5, associates the reception time (time stamp) with the bid price and the bid quantity, and the bidder's user It is recorded in the bid DB 6 together with the ID etc. (step S4).
[0021]
The stock futures auction server 15 accepts bids until the deadline set by the exhibitor. Here, the bidder a, the bidder b, the bidder c, and the bidder d access the inventory futures auction server 15 using their respective terminals, and bid for the products exhibited by the exhibitor A in the following order. To do.
Bidder a Bid quantity: 13 Bid price: 61 yen
Bidder b Bid quantity: 15 bid price: 60 yen
Bidder c Bid quantity: 8 Bid price: 62 yen
Bidder d Bid quantity: 7 Bid price: 63 yen
The above bidding situation is shown in FIG. The inventory futures auction server 15 records each bid price, bid quantity, reception time, etc. in the bid DB 6 and stores them.
It is also possible for a bidder who has bid once to bid again, in which case the inventory futures auction server 15 may distinguish the same bidder on a bid basis by assigning a bid ID or the like.
[0022]
When the deadline set by the exhibitor is reached, the auction site management unit 3 of the stock futures auction server 15 notifies the auction site of the end of accepting bids and ends accepting bids. The priority order determination unit 7 sorts bid prices, bid quantities, and reception times recorded in units of bidders or bids according to, for example, a priority rule of price, reception time, and bid quantity, and determines successful bid quantities. To do. Next, a table in which the successful bid priority order and the successful bid quantity are described is recorded in the management DB 8 (step S5).
[0023]
In this embodiment, since the price is a priority, the priorities of bidders a, b, c, and d who bid on the product of exhibitor A are as follows.
1. Bidder d 2. Bidder c 3. Bidder a 4. Bidder b
Next, in this priority order, 40 planned exhibition quantities of products are sorted from bidders with higher ranks, and the successful bid quantity is determined.
1. Bidder d Successful bid quantity: 7 Planned remaining exhibition quantity: 33
2. Bidder c Successful bid quantity: 8 Planned remaining exhibition quantity: 25
3. Bidder a Successful bid quantity: 13 Planned remaining exhibition quantity: 12
4). Bidder b Successful bid quantity: 12 Planned remaining exhibition quantity: 0
The bidder b of the final priority rank has 15 bids, while the bid quantity at the time of bidding is 15. Thus, a bidder with a low priority may not be able to make a successful bid for a product as desired. An example of the table created in the above embodiment is shown in the table 40 of FIG. The table holds up to bidders who have reached the exhibitor's planned volume.
[0024]
The above table creation rules include not only the priority order of bid price, reception time, and bid quantity, but also the order of bid price, bid quantity, and reception time, and the exhibitor pays based on the penalty charge calculation rule. The exhibitor or the stock futures auction server 15 may be changed so that the penalty amount becomes the minimum amount.
[0025]
The notification unit 11 of the stock futures auction server 15 notifies the exhibitor of the successful bid price and the successful bid quantity of all the bidders who have made a successful bid, and notifies the bidder of the successful bid price and the successful bid quantity by e-mail (step S6). The manager of the auction site may notify the successful bid result by mail, telephone or the like.
[0026]
On the other hand, during the bid reception as described above, the exhibitor sells products at a store or the like. Depending on the sales of products in stores, the planned exhibition quantity at the time of exhibition may differ from the confirmed exhibition quantity that can actually be exhibited. Therefore, the exhibitor transmits the confirmed exhibition quantity to the inventory futures auction server 15 using his / her terminal by the execution date of the contract. The exhibition quantity reception unit 9 of the inventory futures auction server 15 that has received the information records the exhibition confirmed quantity in the management DB 8. The penalty fee calculation unit 10 refers to the management DB 8 and calculates the sales quantity to each bidder from the stored table and the received confirmed exhibition quantity. If the confirmed exhibition quantity is less than the planned exhibition quantity, a penalty fee is also calculated. The calculated result is recorded in the management DB 8.
[0027]
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that exhibitor A sells a product at a store, and as a result, 38 out of 60 stocks are sold and 22 remain. Exhibitor A uses terminal 21 to input 22 confirmed exhibition quantities and transmits them to inventory futures auction server 15. In this case, the penalty fee calculation unit 10 of the inventory futures auction server 15 refers to the table 40 of FIG. 6 held in the management DB 8 and calculates the sales quantity and penalty as follows.
1. Bidder d
Successful bid quantity: 7 Sales quantity: 7
Number of remaining exhibitors: 15 Penalties: 0
2. Bidder c
Successful bid quantity: 8 Sales quantity: 8
Number of remaining exhibits: 7 Penalty: 0
3. Bidder a
Successful bid quantity: 13 Sales quantity: 7
Number of remaining exhibitors: 0 Penalty: 6
4). Bidder b
Successful bid quantity: 12 Sales quantity: 0
Number of remaining exhibits: 0 Penalty: 12
Thus, the sales quantity and penalty calculated with respect to the table 40 of FIG. 6 are shown in the table 41 of FIG.
[0028]
In addition, the profit of Exhibitor A, the penalty fee, and the profit total obtained from them are calculated by the following formula.
Profit (successful bid price-lowest bid price) x sales quantity
Penalty Fee (Minimum Bid Price x Penalty Ratio) x Penalty
Profit total Profit-penalty fee
In the present embodiment, the profit, penalty fee, and profit total for each bidder of exhibitor A obtained by the above formula are shown below.
1. Bidder d
Profit (63-60) x 7 = 21
Penalty fee (60 × 0.05) × 0 = 0
Profit total 21-0 = 21
2. Bidder c
Profit (62-60) × 8 = 16
Penalty fee (60 × 0.05) × 0 = 0
Profit total 16-0 = 16
3. Bidder a
Profit (61-60) × 7 = 7
Penalty fee (60 × 0.05) × 6 = 18
Profit total 7-18 = -11
4). Bidder b
Profit (60-60) × 0 = 0
Penalty fee (60 × 0.05) × 12 = 36
Profit total 0-36 = -36
The profits, penalties, and profit totals of exhibitor A for each bidder thus calculated are shown in tables 42 and 43 in FIG.
[0029]
The notification unit 11 of the stock futures auction server 15 refers to the management DB 8 and notifies the exhibitor of the successful bid price, sales quantity, and penalty fee for each bidder who has made a successful bid. In addition, the bidder is notified of each successful bid price and sales volume by e-mail including the penalty fee if the sales volume is less than the successful bid volume. The manager of the auction site may notify the winning bid price, the sales quantity, and the penalty fee by mail or telephone.
[0030]
In the above-described embodiment, the operation of the inventory futures auction server 15 that informs the user of the bidding process by the bidder can be considered as follows.
A) The bid status is not displayed at all on the auction site.
B) The sum of the highest bid price and the bid quantity at that time is displayed on the auction site in real time.
C) When the sum of the bid quantities reaches the exhibitor's sales volume, the highest bid price is displayed on the auction site.
[0031]
In the case of the operation A), the bidder cannot know the bidding status in real time, but it does not apply a load to the stock future auction server 15 or the server that has the stock future auction site.
In the case of the operation B), the bidder can bid while looking at the bid status of other bidders.
In the case of the operation C), since the highest bid price is known, if the bid price higher than that price is given, the bid price can be purchased even if the total of the bid quantities reaches the planned exhibition quantity. In addition, when this method is implemented, it is preferable to accept only a bid price that is equal to or higher than the displayed highest bid price for the bid after the display. This is because the price is given priority in the rule for determining the priority order, and bidding below the highest bid price only imposes unnecessary load on the stock futures auction server 15 and is meaningless. Any one of the operations A), B), and C) described above, or another operation that informs the user of the bidding process may be used.
[0032]
In addition, when the bidder who has made a successful bid and is sure to be able to purchase as a result of the above-described calculation or the like has not actually purchased, the operation of the inventory futures auction server 15 can be considered as follows.
D) A cancellation fee paid by the bidder to the exhibitor is calculated using the penalty rate indicated by the exhibitor in the product information in the same manner as the penalty fee described above. Alternatively, the cancellation fee is calculated based on a rule separately determined by exhibitors.
E) Redistribute successful bid quantities.
[0033]
By incorporating the above operation D) into the function of the stock futures auction server 15, the exhibitor can obtain a cancellation fee even if the purchase is canceled by the bidder. In addition, by incorporating the above operation E) into the function of the inventory futures auction server 15, even if the purchaser cancels the purchase, the exhibitor can sell the product to another bidder who intends to purchase. it can.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of the present invention does not change even if the above-described A) to E) or other operations are added as operations of the stock futures auction server 15.
[0034]
Further, a program for realizing part or all of the functions of the stock futures auction server 15 in FIG. 1 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system, The function of the inventory futures auction server 15 may be realized by executing the function. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.
[0035]
Further, the “computer system” includes a homepage providing environment (or display environment) if a WWW system is used.
The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable medium such as a floppy disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, or a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in the computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, a volatile memory in a computer system serving as a server or a client in that case, and a program that holds a program for a certain period of time are also included. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.
The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes design changes and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention.
