Title: Internet business transactions approach model system

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
      The present invention relates to an electrical business trading model that belongs to the trading web sites of electrical business, especially for collecting members by the internet electrical business platform, and purchasing large amounts of goods by members&#39; requirements information to get lower prices, to match the trading of buyers and venders, and to provide members a feedback mechanism.  
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      The evolution of the electrical business on the internet technology is more and more popular, and grows up by times with the increase of population on internet. Even industry also begins to implement the business web site for providing electrical business service.  
      The internet transactions of electrical business provide consumers another shopping approach. The advantage of internet transaction is to save lots of time for consumers, and easier to compare the goods prices than the traditional market. Consumers are very easy to get the prices of target goods to decide the transaction by entering the key words of these goods on the web sites.  
      In general shopping web sites, it is not only to provide copious web contents but also to provide a simple shopping cart system and a secure on-line trading mechanism or they cannot satisfy the shopping willing of consumers.  
      Such as the traditional market, the mechanisms of “quantity-decide-price” and “bargain in the traditional market” still remain in the internet transactions. Therefore, a normal, individual, independent consumer cannot get the best price of the target goods because of the small required quantity. There is no better promotion without large requirement quantity.  
      So, some consumers will try to pull down the prices by substitutive purchase via internet. Substitutive purchase via the internet means, one person is able to negotiate with venders directly, and then these persons publish this information onto the internet to accumulate a large quantity of these goods from lots of individual consumers, purchase by a cheaper price of these goods with a large quantity, and deliver to each consumer.  
      But above mechanism cannot be real-time managed in a database, so the performance of substitutive purchase via internet is not preferred and the data will be lost frequently. Secondly, the substitutive purchase via internet cannot obtain a preferential price from vender for lack of integration of a great quantity information from members. Furthermore, the bargain market on internet still lacks of active introducing media to engage the match of buyers and venders. To sum up, how to link buys and venders and to enhance the willing of individual consumers to join substitutive purchase via internet also are the focus of the present invention.  
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      An objective of the present invention is, due to the current business approaches play the roles of transferring and promoting commodities only, the cost of management and sales is so high as to break the balance of the market prices of commodities and the reasonable prices for consumers, and there is no any active leading media to engage the match of consumers and venders. This will make consumers select consumer approaches without any absolute loyalty. Based on the electrical business development, the associated purchase digital approach system of the present invention that uses the platform and technology of electrical business will be able to let approach sales decrease the approach cost very efficiently, let venders be able to control the shipping quantities of goods, and also let consumers be able to enhance the loyalty of approaches. To make venders, approach sales (the platform of the present invention), and consumers a three-win business model is the target of the present invention.

And this internet electrical business platform  12  will feedback a percentage of revenue to the member  13 , in which the percentage of feedback revenue depends on the son member&#39;s number of a member  13 . Therefore, all the members are able to have a cheaper price of goods, and also be parts of the approach by the system to get more approach feedback money.  
      In general, the internet business transactions approach model system according to the present invention contains the following major features:  
      (1) Member structure: Members are generated by Internet log-in, and the other members are commended by the existed members. The above member linkage relations become complex member chains, and these member chains integrate together as the member chain group  130  of the electrical business platform. The advantages of the member structure are: 
          a. Easy process for creating members by internet log-in;     b. Creating new members by recommended by existed members is able to save the cost of promotion and time.        

      (2) Internet transaction after accumulating members&#39; information: Electrical business platform will use the trading information interactive accounting interface program (living shopping messenger) to integrate and send purchase order to venders after understanding the goods and quantities or estimated prices by information exchanging of web site and members, to get a best price or to match unique buyer and vender. The advantages of this trading solution are: 
          a. Easy and direct to understand the required goods quantity and direction in the market;     b. Sharing goods in cheaper prices to all the members directly;     c. Goods venders are able to control delivery quantities more exactly; and     d. Actively connecting the buy and vender, to shorten the survey cost.        

      (3) Feedback mechanism of approach: Sharing a percentage of trading revenue from the internet business transactions approach model system according to the present invention with members, and the feedback money of every member depends on the total number of his son member chains and their trading revenue. The advantages of this feedback mechanism are: 
          a. Making a cheaper price by sharing the feedback money to members;     b. Enhancing members&#39; loyalty of this electrical trading platform to be a stable approach;     c. Introducing more members by existed members&#39; recommendations to generate more requirements&#39; quantities for negotiating a cheaper price, and also introducing more venders to join this approach.        

      The major difference between the present invention and the prior art is, the present invention uses the internet electrical business platform to generate a large database of buyer members, and this internet electrical business platform is able to use trading information interactive accounting interface program (living shopping messenger) to accumulate the requirement information of a member group or even a individual buyer, to match this requirement information with suitable vender, and to negotiate a cheaper price by quantity with vender. Finally the members are able to decide purchasing or not by their own requirements and the goods information. Furthermore, the present invention also provides a revenue feedback mechanism to introduce more and more members.  
      For example, when the requirement information of a buyer is leading to goods of a vender, which unit price is 1000 dollars, and the unit price will be 900 dollars when the purchasing quantity is larger than 100 pieces, and the unit price will be 800 dollars when the purchasing quantity is larger than 1000 pieces. At this moment, internet electrical business platform  12  will inform all the members to accumulate the total required quantity: if the total required quantity from members is more than 100 pieces, then all the members will have a promotion unit price for 900 dollars; if the total required quantity from members is more than 1000 pieces, then all the members will have a promotion unit price for 800 dollars. Or the required information from buys will be led to match with a vender for a best and reasonable trading price.  
      And, a percentage of revenue will be feedback to members depends on the number of their recommended son members. By this way, the member number in the member chain group will be increased as a stronger bargain power, and will be easier to get a cheaper price and more goods information from venders.  
      For preferred means, the member&#39;s information enters into the database by logging in and gets unique IDs by system, respectively. Whenever a member logs into the system, he will be requested to enter his ID and system will trace the master-slave relationship of this member by his ID for processing the revenue feedback mechanism.  
      To sum up, the characteristic of the internet business transactions approach model system according to the present invention is, integrating the member chain group with trading information accounting system and approach feedback mechanism together by internet electrical business platform  12 . And the advantage of the present invention is to control the trading information for negotiating a cheaper price, and increasing member&#39;s loyalty of approach by revenue feedback mechanism to introduce more and more members and venders.
