Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a service for mediating transactions in response to a purchase request.

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a membership real transaction brokerage service provision system, which enables fair and transparent real transaction of memberships by disclosing seller and buyer information, transaction details, and selling and buying costs during the process of brokering real transaction of memberships by various service providers, such as golf memberships, resort memberships, and fitness memberships. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, when using services at golf courses, resorts, fitness clubs, and condominiums, one must purchase a separate membership to access the service or receive benefits upon purchasing one. The cost of such memberships is typically substantial, and buying and selling them is not a simple process. Furthermore, information regarding memberships is not widely distributed to the general public, and it has been inconvenient to trade memberships because it is difficult to access details such as market prices, availability, and the identity of potential buyers or sellers.

[0004] Recently, membership exchanges have emerged to address these inconveniences; however, it is true that these exchanges lack transparency, as transactions are conducted secretly without separate public announcements, much like general real estate transactions. For instance, in the case of golf memberships, a seller wishing to sell meets with a broker to sign a sales contract, and the broker then meets with a buyer to sign a purchase contract. At this stage, a form of double contracting or forgery of private documents frequently occurs, such as drafting and sealing a contract for sale at 300 million won, while modifying the cost to 350 million won for purchase. In such cases, a profit margin of 50 million won is generated compared to the actual transaction price. Since this lack of transparency undermines the credibility of membership trading and causes damage to both sellers and buyers, there has been a demand for the development of technology to ensure fair and transparent actual transactions of memberships.

The components and the functions provided within the 'module' or 'part' may be combined into a smaller number of components and 'modules' or 'parts', or further separated into additional components and 'modules' or 'parts'.

[0029] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a membership real transaction brokerage service provision system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, a membership real transaction brokerage service provision system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may largely include a trader recruitment unit (110), a membership registration unit (120), a transaction progress unit (130), and a transaction information storage unit (140).

[0031] Here, the trader recruitment unit (110), membership registration unit (120), transaction progress unit (130), and transaction information storage unit (140) described below are configured forms of functions implemented in a server, and their functions can be implemented through the server. The server may include a processor and memory. Here, the processor may be composed of one or more cores and may include processors for data analysis and deep learning, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU), and a tensor processing unit (TPU) of the server. The processor may read a computer program stored in memory and perform data processing for machine learning according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] The processor can control the overall operation of the server. By processing signals, data, and information input or output through the components examined above, or by running applications stored in memory, the processor can provide or process appropriate information or functions for the user.

[0033] The processor can control at least some of the components of the server to run an application stored in memory. Additionally, the processor can operate at least two or more of the components included in the server in combination to run the application.

[0034] First, the trader recruitment unit (110) serves to recruit a seller terminal (1) wishing to sell a membership and a buyer terminal (2) wishing to purchase a membership. Here, the term "membership" may refer to a certificate of rights provided to prove membership in order to use services provided by a service provider, such as a golf membership, a resort membership, a fitness membership, or a condominium membership. Additionally, although the present invention describes only the sale of memberships, the membership may also be subject to transfer and assignment transactions in addition to sale transactions. Therefore, the seller terminal (1) wishing to sell a membership mentioned in the present invention may be interpreted as a transferor terminal wishing to transfer a membership, and the buyer terminal (2) wishing to purchase a membership may be interpreted as an assignee terminal wishing to acquire a membership.

[0035] These trader recruitment units (110) may be connected to a wired or wireless network via a separate communication means (not shown) with each of the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2). Here, the communication means may include circuits, modules, chips, etc., for communicating with at least one external device using various wired or wireless communication methods. Additionally, the communication means may be connected to an external device through various networks. Depending on the area or scale, the network may be a Personal Area Network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), etc., and depending on the openness of the network, it may be an Intranet, Extranet, or Internet, etc.

[0036] In addition, in one embodiment, the communication means can be connected to external devices through various wireless communication methods such as LTE (Long-term Evolution), LTE-A (LTE Advance), 5G (5th Generation) mobile communication, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), WCDMA (Wideband CDMA), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), WiBro (Wireless Broadband), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), WiFi (Wi-Fi), WiFi Direct, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), and Zigbee. In addition, the communication means can be connected to external devices through various wired communication methods such as Ethernet, the Internet, optical communication, Thunderbolt, HDMI, and USB.

[0037] Ethernet communication allows data transmission between adjacent modules using Ethernet cables. Ethernet is a widely used technology for exchanging data between network devices, and generally, multiple devices can be connected via Ethernet switches. Additionally, USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication allows data transmission between adjacent modules using USB cables. USB communication is used to transmit data between various types of devices, particularly between computers and peripheral devices. Furthermore, serial communication allows data transmission between adjacent modules using serial cables. Data can be sent and received using serial communication protocols such as RS-232 or RS-485. Serial communication can be used to transmit data in a simple and cost-effective manner. Moreover, CAN (Controller Area Network) communication allows data transmission between adjacent modules using a CAN bus. CAN communication is a widely used standard communication protocol for exchanging data between devices such as control units and sensors within a vehicle.

[0038] In addition, in one embodiment, the communication means may be connected to external devices through various wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

[0039] Bluetooth communication operates using radio frequencies and can be used for wireless communication, particularly in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) industry utilizing the 2.4GHz frequency band. Bluetooth communication is capable of operating in low-power mode and can connect with nearby devices automatically through pairing. Wi-Fi communication supports various frequency bands and speeds, and can provide a communication range from tens of meters to up to hundreds of meters. Additionally, Wi-Fi communication has the advantage of securely transmitting and receiving data using security protocols such as WPA and WPA2.

[0040] In addition, in one embodiment, the trader recruitment unit (110) may obtain seller information and buyer information from each of the recruited seller terminal (1) and buyer terminal (2). Here, seller information may include all information that can identify the seller, such as the name, address, contact information, and resident registration number of the seller who wishes to sell the membership. In addition, buyer information may include all information that can identify the buyer, such as the name, address, contact information, and resident registration number of the buyer who wishes to purchase the membership.

[0042] The membership registration unit (120) can obtain membership information for sale from the recruited seller terminal (1) and register it so that it can be viewed through the buyer terminal (2). More specifically, the membership registration unit (120) can request the seller terminal (1) recruited through the trader recruitment unit (110) to provide membership information for sale. Here, the membership information for sale may include one or more of the membership number, membership transaction table, seller name, seller address, seller contact information, and seller resident registration number of the membership for sale.

[0043] In one embodiment, when the membership registration unit (120) obtains membership information for sale from the seller terminal (1), it may request a user terminal of the place of use of the membership information for sale (e.g., golf course, resort, fitness center, condominium, etc.) via a communication means to verify the validity of the membership information for sale. For example, when membership information for sale regarding a golf membership for 'A' golf course is obtained from the seller terminal (1), the membership registration unit (120) may transmit the membership information for sale (membership number) to the golf course terminal of 'A' golf course and then verify the validity of the membership information for sale by checking information such as whether the membership is actually valid and, if valid, when the validity period expires.

[0044] If, as a result of verifying the validity of the membership information for sale at the relevant usage terminal, it is confirmed that the membership information for sale is valid, the membership registration book (120) registers the membership information for sale so that multiple buyer terminals (2) can view and verify the membership information for sale.

[0045] If, as a result of verifying the validity of the membership information for sale at the relevant usage terminal, it is confirmed that the membership information for sale is invalid, the membership registration book (120) may not allow the registration of the membership information for sale and may request the seller terminal (1) to reconfirm the membership information for sale and provide new membership information for sale.

[0046] At this time, the membership registration unit (120) verifies the validity of the membership information for sale at the terminal of use and, if it is confirmed that the membership information for sale is invalid, it counts and records the number of times the invalid membership information for sale has been provided to the seller terminal (1). In addition, in one embodiment, if the number of such provision exceeds a preset number (e.g., 3 times), the membership registration unit (120) determines that the seller terminal (1) is an abnormal seller who continuously provides invalid membership information for sale, and sends a warning notification to the seller terminal (1) in the form of a pop-up message or may permanently (or impermanently) stop the registration of the membership information for sale of the seller terminal (1).

[0047] Additionally, in one embodiment, the membership registration unit (120) may use seller information regarding the seller terminal (1) to automatically inquire with various usage terminals whether there is membership information already registered with the corresponding seller information, and may provide the inquiry result to the seller terminal (1). This is intended to allow the membership registration unit (120) to directly transmit seller information to the corresponding usage terminal and verify on behalf of the seller whether there is a membership registered with the seller information, in cases where the seller does not know the membership information for sale accurately or the membership information for sale entered through the seller terminal (1) is inaccurate. In this case, the membership registration unit (120) may obtain consent to automatically inquire whether there is membership information already registered by utilizing the seller information corresponding to personal information when necessary during the process of obtaining membership information for sale from the seller terminal (1). If the relevant consent is not obtained from the seller terminal (1), the membership registration unit (120) does not perform the operation of automatically checking whether there is membership information already registered with the relevant seller information for the usage terminals, and instead guides the seller terminal (1) to accurately input the membership information for sale.

[0048] Additionally, in one embodiment, when a request for inquiry into a specific membership for sale is made by a buyer terminal (2), the membership registration unit (120) provides one or more pieces of information, such as the membership number, membership transaction table, seller's name, seller's address, seller's contact information, and seller's resident registration number, so that the buyer can recognize them. Additionally, in one embodiment, when a request for inquiry into membership information for a specific membership for sale is made through the buyer terminal (2), the membership registration unit (120) may provide the buyer terminal (2) with past membership sales history information of the seller terminal (1) regarding the membership for sale.

[0049] For example, when specific membership registration information for sale is retrieved through the buyer terminal (2), the membership registration book (120) displays the entire history of past membership sales by the seller terminal (1) that sells the membership for sale, thereby allowing the buyer to recognize whether the seller is a company specializing in the sale of memberships, or whether there is a history of fraud or illegal transactions.

[0050] In addition, in one embodiment, if the membership registration unit (120) is a membership for sale requested through the buyer terminal (2) and is a membership for sale belonging to the seller terminal (1) that has a history of providing previously invalid membership information for sale, it may indicate this with a separate identification code, color, or character to advise or guide the buyer terminal (2) to be careful about the membership transaction.

[0051] In particular, in this process, all history information regarding the seller terminal (1) providing invalid membership information for sale in the past is disclosed, thereby allowing all buyer terminals (2) conducting transactions with the seller terminal (1) to be warned of this.

[0053] When a request to purchase a specific membership for sale is input from a buyer terminal (2), the transaction processing unit (130) can transmit a notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership to a seller terminal (1) that is selling the membership for sale, and allow the transaction of the membership between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to proceed. More specifically, when a specific membership for sale is selected through the buyer terminal (2) and a request to purchase the membership for the membership for sale is input, the transaction processing unit (130) can transmit a notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership to a seller terminal (1) that is selling the membership for sale, thereby guiding the seller to immediately proceed with the membership transaction. In this case, the transaction processing unit (130) can provide a function to create a separate chat room that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can each enter, so that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can have a conversation necessary for the membership transaction through the chat room.

[0054] In addition, in one embodiment, the transaction processing unit (130) may provide a virtual contact that can only be verified between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to each of the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2), thereby providing a function that enables them to have a conversation necessary for the membership transaction through their respective terminals. For example, if the actual contact number of the seller terminal (1) is '010-1234-5678', the transaction processing unit (130) may assign a virtual contact number of '010-1111-2222' to the seller terminal (1), and then display the virtual contact number '010-1111-2222' on the buyer terminal (2). In this case, if a call is made to the virtual contact '010-1111-2222' or a text message is sent through the buyer terminal (2), a call may be made to the actual contact '010-1234-5678' linked to the virtual contact '010-1111-2222' or a text message may be sent.

[0055] Additionally, in one embodiment, when a request to purchase a specific membership for sale is input from a buyer terminal (2) and a request for cost negotiation (discount) is input from the buyer terminal (2), the transaction processing unit (130) may transmit a notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership to the seller terminal (1) selling the membership for sale, and simultaneously notify the buyer that the buyer has requested cost negotiation (discount). In this case, the seller who has confirmed the notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership may not want to proceed with the transaction. Therefore, when a signal including an intention not to negotiate (discount) is input from the seller terminal (1), the transaction processing unit (130) may transmit a notification signal to the buyer terminal (2) indicating that cost negotiation (discount) is not possible.

[0056] In addition, in one embodiment, the transaction processing unit (130) may access a tax management agency server (e.g., the Patent Office) to check acquisition tax information and transfer tax information in real time regarding the progress of the membership transaction, and provide this information to the seller terminal (1) and buyer terminal (2) currently conducting the membership transaction. Acquisition tax is a local tax imposed when acquiring a specific asset or right, and may refer to a local tax imposed by the province of the place of use for the relevant membership on the acquirer when acquiring a golf membership, condominium membership, fitness membership, yacht membership, equestrian membership, or comprehensive sports facility membership. In the case of acquisition tax on such memberships, the acquisition tax rate may be set at approximately 2% in accordance with the Local Tax Act, as it is an acquisition other than real estate. At this time, since the acquisition tax and capital gains tax may change depending on the national affairs of that year, the transaction processing unit (130) according to the present invention can connect to the tax management agency server at a set interval to continuously update the acquisition tax information and capital gains tax information regarding the progress of the membership transaction, and provide the updated acquisition tax information and capital gains tax information to the seller terminal (1) and buyer terminal (2) that are proceeding with the membership transaction.

[0058] The transaction information storage unit (140) serves to store transaction information regarding the progress of a membership transaction during the process in which a membership transaction is conducted through the transaction information progress unit (130) described above. More specifically, the transaction information here may include all information regarding the membership transaction history, the date and time of the membership transaction, seller information, buyer information, transaction amount, and acquisition tax and capital gains tax. Furthermore, the transaction information may include all information regarding the seller and the buyer. Therefore, the transaction information storage unit (140) stores all transaction information for all membership transactions and enables transparent membership transactions by providing the ability to view and access the transaction information at any time through the seller terminal (1) or the buyer terminal (2).

[0060] Next, we will examine the process in order in which, when a request to purchase a membership is entered from the buyer terminal (2), the transaction processing unit (130) proceeds with the membership transaction accordingly.

[0061] FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the process in order in which a membership purchase request is input from a buyer terminal (2), and a membership transaction is carried out in the transaction progress unit (130).

[0062] Referring to FIG. 2, when a specific membership for sale is selected and a request to purchase the membership is entered through a buyer terminal (2) regarding multiple membership information for sale that are already registered through the membership registration unit (120) (S201), the transaction processing unit (130) transmits a notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership to the seller terminal (1) that sells the membership for sale so that the seller can recognize it (S202).

[0063] Additionally, the transaction processing unit (130) connects the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to each other so that the transaction of the membership right for sale proceeds (S203). In this process, the transaction processing unit (130) may create a separate chat room that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can each enter, so that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can have a conversation necessary for the membership right transaction through the chat room, or may provide a virtual contact that can only be verified between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to each seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2), so that they can have a conversation necessary for the membership right transaction through the terminals.

[0065] Next, we will examine in order how to provide a membership real transaction brokerage service using the membership real transaction brokerage service providing system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention described above.

[0066] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a method of providing a membership real transaction brokerage service using a membership real transaction brokerage service providing system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention in a series of sequences.

[0067] Looking at FIG. 3, first, the trader recruitment unit (110) recruits a seller terminal (1) that wishes to sell a membership and a buyer terminal (2) that wishes to buy a membership (S301). In this process, the trader recruitment unit (110) can be connected to each of the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) via a wired or wireless network through a communication means, and can obtain seller information and buyer information from each of the recruited seller terminal (1) and buyer terminal (2).

[0068] Next, the membership registration unit (120) obtains membership information for sale from the recruited seller terminal (1) and registers it so that it can be viewed through the buyer terminal (2) (S302). Additionally, the membership registration unit (120) may request the provision of membership information for sale from the seller terminal (1) recruited through the trader recruitment unit (110), and when membership information for sale is obtained from the seller terminal (1), the membership registration unit (120) requests the user terminal of the place of use of the membership for sale (e.g., golf course, resort, fitness center, condominium, etc.) to verify the validity of the membership information for sale through a communication means (S303). At this time, if the validity of the membership information for sale is verified at the terminal of use and it is confirmed that the membership information for sale is valid, the membership registration unit (120) registers the membership information for sale so that multiple buyer terminals (2) can view and verify the membership information for sale. If the validity of the membership information for sale is verified at the terminal of use and it is confirmed that the membership information for sale is invalid, the membership registration unit (120) may not allow the registration of the membership information for sale and may request the seller terminal (1) to reconfirm the membership information for sale and provide new membership information for sale.

[0069] Next, when a request to purchase a specific membership for sale is received from the buyer terminal (2), the transaction processing unit (130) transmits a notification signal regarding the request to purchase the membership to the seller terminal (1) that sells the membership for sale, and allows the transaction of the membership between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to proceed (S304). In this process, the transaction processing unit (130) may create a separate chat room that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can each enter, so that the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) can have a conversation necessary for the membership transaction through the chat room, or may provide a virtual contact that can only be verified between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to each seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2), so that they can have a conversation necessary for the membership transaction through the terminals.

[0070] Additionally, the transaction information storage unit (140) stores transaction information regarding the progress of the membership transaction during the process of the membership transaction (S305). In this process, the transaction information storage unit (140) stores all transaction information for all membership transactions and enables the transaction information to be viewed and accessed at any time through the seller terminal (1) or the buyer terminal (2), thereby ensuring transparent membership transactions.

[0072] A membership real transaction brokerage service provision system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is a system for efficiently and transparently brokering the sale of membership rights, and includes a plurality of functional modules configured to recruit a seller terminal (1) wishing to sell membership rights and a buyer terminal (2) wishing to buy membership rights through a network, respectively, and to enable smooth real-time transactions between the two terminals.

[0073] The above system (100) first includes a trader recruitment unit (110) that performs the function of introducing and registering members who are sellers and buyers of membership rights onto the platform. The trader recruitment unit (110) may be configured to identify a seller terminal (1) that intends to sell membership rights and a buyer terminal (2) that intends to buy membership rights among a plurality of user terminals connected via a network, receive personal identification information such as identity information, contact information, address, and resident registration number from each terminal user, and register and store this information on the system as seller information and buyer information. The above information is real-name based information for actual membership rights transactions and functions as a prerequisite to prevent false or duplicate registrations and to guarantee the reliability of the transaction.

[0074] Subsequently, the system (100) includes a membership registration unit (120) that receives detailed information regarding a membership owned or intended for sale by a seller from a seller terminal (1) registered through the trader recruitment unit (110), forms this into a single data object, and registers the information so that it can be viewed through a buyer terminal (2). Specifically, the membership registration unit (120) obtains information on a membership for sale from the seller terminal (1), consisting of a membership number, information on the issuing or using place of the membership, membership grade, remaining available period, desired selling price, and the seller's past transaction history. After storing this information in a system database, it allows the information to be searched and viewed by the buyer terminal (2) through a verification procedure. In particular, to prevent cases where the entered information on a membership for sale is false or invalid, the registration unit may perform a validity verification procedure by linking with the system of the issuing or managing place of the membership, and only when the verification is completed is the membership information finally registered and exposed to the system.

[0075] In addition, the system (100) includes a transaction processing unit (130) that, when a purchase request for a specific membership for sale is input from a buyer terminal (2), transmits a transaction request notification to the seller terminal (1) in real time and supports the safe conduct of the transaction between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) within the system. Specifically, upon receiving a purchase request signal from a buyer, the transaction processing unit (130) enables the seller terminal (1) of the membership to which the request was received to immediately confirm the intention to trade through a notification message or a pop-up window, and provides means such as opening a chat window for private communication between the two parties or creating a virtual contact, thereby preventing the risk of private transactions or double contracts that may occur outside the system. Furthermore, the transaction processing unit may include a negotiation function for price conditions proposed by the buyer and a payment condition adjustment function, and when the transaction is finally agreed upon, the payment module and the ownership transfer procedure may be linked.

[0076] Finally, the membership real transaction brokerage service provision system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a transaction information storage unit (140) that stores and manages all transaction information generated during the transaction process, namely information on the seller and buyer participating in the transaction, identification information of the membership subject to the transaction, the transaction date and time, the transaction amount, whether and how much tax was incurred, and other transaction conditions in a structured form. The storage unit is configured to safely store the transaction information for a certain period even after the transaction is completed, and to allow the transaction information to be viewed through the seller's or buyer's terminal when necessary, so that it can be utilized as objective evidence necessary for dispute prevention and post-transaction processing. In addition, the transaction information storage unit restricts access rights to the stored transaction data based on roles, and may store the data encrypted or linked to a separate secure server for the protection of personal information.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the trader recruitment unit (110) is configured to form a base user group for a real transaction brokerage service for membership rights, and is configured to identify a seller terminal (1) wishing to sell membership rights and a buyer terminal (2) wishing to buy membership rights among a plurality of user terminals connected via a network, and to collect identity and identification information necessary for the transaction from each terminal user and register it within the system. The trader recruitment unit (110) may receive identification information capable of identifying an individual, such as the user's name, date of birth, gender, address, contact information, email address, resident registration number, real-name authentication information, and financial account information, from each of the seller terminal (1) and buyer terminal (2), and the information is collected as part of real-name-based user verification to implement real transaction-based transactions.

[0078] In addition, the above-mentioned trader recruitment unit (110) can collect basic transaction intent information necessary for membership trading along with the input of the above-mentioned user information. For example, in the case of a seller terminal (1), it receives information that forms the basis of membership trading, such as the type of membership owned, place of use, desired selling price, desired registration period, and previous trading history. In the case of a buyer terminal (2), it can also collect demand information such as the category of membership of interest, desired purchase price, preferred region, and type of membership. Based on this information, the above-mentioned trader recruitment unit (110) forms foundational data that can provide advanced brokerage services, such as user-customized search filtering or transaction suitability analysis, during the future membership registration and transaction matching process.

[0079] Meanwhile, the membership registration unit (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention performs a procedure to receive information on a membership for sale from a seller terminal (1) registered through the trader recruitment unit (110), guides the seller to register identification information and detailed information regarding the membership actually held on the system, and performs a function to execute information registration so that the buyer terminal (2) can view it based on this. More specifically, the membership registration unit (120) requests the seller terminal (1) to input information on the membership to be sold, and the seller accordingly inputs information that can identify the membership and set transaction conditions, such as the membership number, member name, usage information (e.g., specific golf course, resort, health club, etc.), grade, remaining usage period, registration year, and desired transaction price.

[0080] In addition, the membership registration unit (120) does not simply rely on information entered by the seller, but performs a procedure to verify whether the membership for sale is actually valid by linking with a third-party institution or a usage system corresponding to the membership issuing entity. Specifically, based on the membership number or seller information among the registered membership information for sale, it can access a terminal system corresponding to the usage of the membership (e.g., golf course ERP, resort reservation system, etc.) to verify whether the membership is actually registered, whether the validity period remains, whether the name matches, and whether it is currently suspended or cancelled. Such a request for validity verification can be performed in real time via a communication network, and the final registration status of the membership information is determined based on the result of the response from the usage terminal.

[0081] If, based on the response result from the above-mentioned usage terminal, the membership registration unit (120) confirms that the relevant membership information for sale is valid, the membership registration unit (120) formally registers the information in the system so that it can be viewed through the buyer terminal (2). Conversely, if the response result confirms that the relevant membership is invalid or is a previously registered membership, the membership registration unit (120) may clearly notify the seller terminal (1) of the reason for the error or invalidity of the membership information for sale and request the seller to input the correct membership information that has been reconfirmed. In addition, if invalid membership information is repeatedly entered or abnormal registration attempts occur from the same terminal, measures such as restricting registration, suspending transactions, or classifying the relevant seller terminal (1) as a user subject to separate management may be taken.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transaction information includes transaction-related data of various items generated or linked during the process of buying and selling a membership right. Specifically, it may include one or more of the following: membership right transaction history, the date and time when the membership right transaction actually took place, information regarding the seller participating in the transaction, information regarding the buyer, the finally agreed transaction amount, and tax information related to the transaction (e.g., acquisition tax and capital gains tax, etc.). Here, the membership right transaction history includes identification information of the sold membership right (membership right number, type, place of use, etc.), the registration and verification history of the said membership right, the path through which the transaction was completed, chat records or negotiation history, etc., and the transaction date and time may be recorded by subdividing it into the time when the transaction request was received, the time when the transaction was completed, the time when payment was completed, etc.

[0083] In addition, seller and buyer information is real-name based information of each transaction party and may include their respective names, addresses, resident registration numbers, contact information, account information entered at the time of registration, transaction history, and transaction grades; the information is configured to be utilized as objective evidence for evaluating transaction reliability during future repeated transactions or in the event of subsequent disputes.

[0084] Transaction amount information refers to the final transaction amount entered at the time of the sales contract for the membership right. If negotiation or bargaining (price adjustment) procedures are involved, historical data including the initial offer amount, negotiation history, and the final confirmed amount may be stored. In addition, transaction information may include tax information, which pertains to tax items arising from the transaction of the membership right, specifically acquisition tax and capital gains tax imposed pursuant to relevant laws such as the Local Tax Act or the Income Tax Act.

[0085] To this end, a transaction processing unit (130) according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to perform network communication with a tax management agency server so that it can check tax-related information in real time and provide the information to the parties to the transaction while the membership transaction is in progress. Specifically, the transaction processing unit (130) accesses a tax information provision server linked with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the National Tax Service, and the tax systems of each local government, and calculates the expected acquisition tax rate or capital gains tax rate imposed on the transaction based on information such as the place of use, location, and transaction amount of the membership currently being traded, and outputs the results to the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2), respectively.

[0086] For example, in the case of a golf membership, if the acquisition tax rate of the provincial-level local government where the golf course is located is set at 2%, and the transaction amount is 150 million won, the transaction progress unit (130) calculates the acquisition tax information of 3 million won based on the amount in real time and displays it on the buyer's terminal (2), and at the same time, if a capital gain occurs due to the transaction, it notifies the seller's terminal (1) of whether an obligation to pay capital gains tax arises and the estimated tax amount, thereby enabling the parties to the transaction to clearly recognize the tax information they must pay before the actual transaction.

[0087] The tax information provided above goes beyond being presented as simple reference information; it functions as an item that can actually be reflected when drafting a transaction contract or tax return, and can be linked with an automatic tax return drafting function as needed. This automatic tax information linkage function of the transaction processing unit (130) enables the user to immediately obtain necessary tax information without separate tax consultation or verification of an external system, and provides a technical effect that can improve transaction transparency and tax accuracy.

[0088] The membership information for sale according to one embodiment of the present invention is a data set comprising identification information and seller-related information to secure the uniqueness and authenticity of each membership listing registered in a membership real transaction brokerage system. Specifically, it may include one or more or multiple items among the membership number of the membership registered by the seller, a physical or electronic membership transaction slip attached to the membership, and the seller's name, address, contact information, and resident registration number. In this case, the membership number is a unique identification number assigned by the membership issuing authority and serves as the most basic reference means for identifying the membership, and the membership transaction slip is a written or electronic document specifying transaction details and ownership change details, functioning as official evidence to verify the seller's actual ownership.

[0089] The seller's name, address, contact information, and resident registration number are personal information items that are mandatory for the design of this system, which is based on real-name membership transactions. This information is used to verify the authenticity of the membership registered by the seller and to confirm ownership. Furthermore, this information may be utilized as part of the information disclosed to the buyer in the future, and in particular, serves as key information that can be referenced by the buyer when evaluating the reliability of a specific listing.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the membership registration unit (120) is configured to provide all or part of the membership information for sale to the buyer terminal (2) when a request for inquiry regarding a specific membership is input from the buyer terminal (2) after the membership information for sale registered from the seller terminal (1) as described above is stored in the system. Specifically, when a user of the buyer terminal (2) selects a specific membership for sale from the list of registered memberships and requests a detailed inquiry, the membership registration unit (120) outputs the membership information for sale as an inquiry result, including the membership number, issuer, grade, validity period, desired selling price, and items that can be disclosed among the owner information.

[0091] In addition, the membership registration unit (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention does not merely provide current information regarding the relevant membership, but also provides past membership sales history information of the seller terminal (1), thereby enabling the buyer to clearly recognize information regarding the reliability or transaction history of the seller, who is the counterparty to the transaction. Here, past sales history information may include transaction details, transaction date and time, transaction amount, transaction success status, frequency of repeated transactions, transaction evaluation score, etc., of other memberships previously registered through the relevant seller terminal (1), and through this, the buyer can determine whether the relevant seller is an individual attempting a one-time abnormal transaction or a reliable seller with continuous transaction experience.

[0092] This past sales history information provides buyers with a basis for making practical judgments, thereby having the effect of preventing risks such as fraudulent transactions, false registrations, and transaction defaults in actual membership transactions, and at the same time contributes to increasing the overall transparency and reliability of transactions within the system. In addition, the membership registration book (120) can induce attention to specific listings by providing the buyer terminal (2) with visualizations such as a separate warning message, identification icon, and color distinction regarding the existence of a history of registering invalid membership information more than a certain number of times for a seller terminal (1).

[0093] The transaction processing unit (130) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a function to generate and provide virtual contact information so that mutual communication is possible without direct contact sharing between the two terminals, as a technical means to prevent the exposure of personal information and the induction of direct transactions between the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) during the membership transaction process and to provide a safe communication environment through a brokerage system. Specifically, when a purchase request for a specific membership for sale is input from the buyer terminal (2), the transaction processing unit (130) automatically generates a virtual phone number or virtual message transmission identifier (ID) linked to each other for the seller terminal (1) and the buyer terminal (2) to which the request has been received, and then provides this to both parties. For example, if the actual contact number of the seller terminal (1) is '010-1234-5678', the transaction processing unit (130) is configured to expose only a virtual contact number via an intermediary server, such as '010-9876-0001', to the buyer terminal (2), thereby allowing the buyer to communicate with the seller through a call or message on the system without knowing the actual number. By setting such a virtual contact number to automatically expire after a certain period of time or depending on whether the transaction is completed, unauthorized contact or inappropriate leakage of personal information can be prevented.

[0094] Meanwhile, the membership registration unit (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a function to operate a verification procedure to confirm the validity of membership information for sale provided by the seller terminal (1) at a pre-transaction stage, and at the same time, accumulate and manage history information regarding membership information registered by the seller terminal (1) in the past that failed to verify validity. Specifically, if the membership information registered by the seller is not verified through linkage with the issuing or usage system, or is determined to be false information, the membership registration unit (120) accumulates and records the verification failure record for the relevant case in a storage unit within the system in conjunction with the seller identification information. This record is used as a standard to identify cases where invalid membership information is repeatedly registered for a single seller terminal (1) and to prevent contamination of the transaction environment by malicious or careless users.

[0095] In particular, if the history of verification failure exceeds a preset threshold value (e.g., 3 times, 5 times, etc.), the membership registration unit (120) may send a warning message to the seller terminal (1) in the form of a pop-up, or execute sanctions such as restricting membership registration for a certain period, suspending the account, or downgrading the grade. In addition, this history may be classified as a priority review target when registering a membership for the same seller terminal (1) in the future, and may be provided to system users in advance during the transaction process as a notification that the seller has a history of past verification failures.

[0096] In addition, the membership registration unit (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a function that, when a request for inquiry regarding a specific membership for sale is received from a buyer terminal (2), not only provides basic information about the membership but also outputs the past membership sale history information of the seller terminal (1) that registered the membership. Here, the sale history information may consist of the number of membership listings registered by the seller terminal (1) in the past through this system, whether the transaction of each listing was successful, the transaction amount, the transaction rating, user evaluation history, etc. Through this information, the buyer can comprehensively determine whether the seller is a trustworthy repeat trader, or whether there is a history of fraud or intentional distortion of information.

[0097] The above history information may be provided on the buyer's terminal (2) screen in the form of scores, color visualizations, transaction grade icons, etc., so that it can be intuitively recognized by the user, and if certain conditions apply (e.g., history of fraudulent reports, excessive transaction failure rate, etc.), a warning message or a transaction caution notification may be separately displayed. In this way, providing information including the seller's past behavioral history serves as an important means to technically enhance the reliability of actual membership transactions and can contribute to securing transaction stability and platform reliability by resolving information asymmetry regarding the counterparty.

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transaction progress unit (130) expands the transaction brokerage function in a direction that increases the possibility of actual transaction completion by supporting a negotiation function for transaction costs based on conditions presented by the buyer, rather than being limited to a transaction confirmation method in the form of simple acceptance or rejection after receiving a transaction request for a specific membership right for sale from the buyer terminal (2). Specifically, when the transaction progress unit (130) receives a price negotiation request input from the buyer terminal (2), that is, a request for negotiation for a price lower than the original transaction amount presented by the seller, it transmits this to the corresponding seller terminal (1) in real time and provides an interface so that the seller can respond whether to accept the negotiation request. In this process, the seller terminal (1) may input a renegotiated price in addition to simple acceptance or rejection, and accordingly, the transaction progress unit (130) is configured to reflect the negotiation content between the seller and the buyer in real time to update the matching status, transaction possibility, conditional success status, etc., and provide this as a screen synchronized with both parties' terminals. This transaction cost negotiation process improves the efficiency of the actual brokerage system by reducing the transaction failure rate caused by unilateral pricing and inducing the formation of highly satisfactory terms for both parties.

[0099] Meanwhile, the transaction information storage unit (140) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a function to perform encryption processing on sensitive information capable of personal identification, such as real-name-based information of the seller and buyer, particularly resident registration numbers, among various information generated or acquired during the membership transaction process, and to control access according to a system authority management policy. More specifically, the transaction information storage unit (140) can be configured to encrypt items corresponding to personal information under the law, such as resident registration numbers, financial account numbers, addresses, and contact information among the stored transaction information using security algorithms such as AES, RSA, and SHA, and to manage the decryption key by a separate authenticated server or security module (HSM: Hardware Security Module). In addition, the storage unit can simultaneously satisfy technical and administrative protection measures for preventing the leakage of transaction-related information and complying with relevant laws, such as the Personal Information Protection Act, by performing an access control function that restricts data access activities such as viewing, modifying, copying, and downloading according to the authority level of each account, such as administrators, operators, and users.

[0100] In addition, the membership registration unit (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured not merely to store the membership information for sale provided by the seller terminal (1) in a manual registration state, but to perform an automatic validity verification procedure to verify in real time whether the registered membership information is actually a valid membership. Specifically, the membership registration unit (120) performs network linkage with the issuing entity or management agency system of the membership (e.g., golf course ERP, resort member management DB, fitness center operation server, etc.) based on the membership number, registrant name, and usage information entered by the seller, and automatically queries and verifies the existence, validity period, suspension or cancellation status, and actual owner match of the registered membership through a data interface using API or EDI methods. If a response indicating "valid membership" is received from the usage system, the membership information is finally registered and converted to a state where it can be viewed on the buyer terminal (2); conversely, if a verification failure response is received, registration is restricted, and an error notification and re-entry request message is sent to the seller terminal (1). Such automatic verification functions are a key technical means that contribute to preventing false registrations, blocking fraudulent transactions, and enhancing transaction safety.

[0101] In addition, the transaction information storage unit (140) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a function that, after a membership transaction is finally concluded, securely stores all information regarding the transaction (e.g., contract date, participant information, transaction conditions, tax information, confirmed verification results, etc.) in a structured form on a server and preserves it for a certain period so that it can be provided as evidence to the relevant parties in the event of a future dispute. Specifically, the storage unit retains data for a period of 3 years, 5 years, etc., in accordance with the national obligation to preserve electronic transaction records. When one of the transaction parties requests access to information for reasons such as verifying transaction details, clarifying a dispute, or submitting to an administrative agency, the relevant data can be downloaded or automatically printed as an evidence document in PDF format after undergoing a prior authentication procedure. In particular, the storage unit assigns a unique identification number (e.g., transaction ID, SHA hash, etc.) to each transaction record to prevent data forgery and alteration, and functions as a technical basis that can be utilized for subsequent audits or legal responses. The function of preserving such transaction information and providing proof contributes to maximizing the reliability and competitiveness of the membership real transaction platform provided by the present invention by ensuring not only short-term transaction safety but also long-term legal stability.

[0103] Although the embodiments described above have been described as utilizing aspects of the subject matter disclosed herein in one or more standalone computer systems, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be implemented in conjunction with any computing environment, such as a network or a distributed computing environment. Furthermore, aspects of the subject matter in the present invention may be implemented in a plurality of processing chips or devices, and storage may be similarly affected across a plurality of devices. Such devices may include PCs, network servers, and portable devices.

[0104] Although the present invention has been described in relation to some embodiments, various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as understood by a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Furthermore, such modifications and changes should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims appended to this specification. Explanation of the symbols
