Description

A rating service server capable of rating used mobile phones and its operating method

[0001] The present invention relates to a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone and an operating method thereof.

[0002] Recently, the market related to second-hand transactions has been expanding.

[0003] Cell phones account for a significant portion of the secondhand market. Due to their nature as new products, cell phones are frequently replaced. Therefore, after purchasing their first phone, owners often want to dispose of their old one and purchase a new one. Consequently, many used phones are available for sale on the secondhand market.

[0004] In addition, although there is a lot of domestic demand for these used cell phones, there are also many companies that purchase used cell phones domestically and export them to overseas markets, so there are many professional used cell phone purchase companies in the used cell phone transaction market.

[0005] These used cell phone purchasing companies need to analyze the condition of the used cell phone in order to purchase it, so they usually meet with the person who wants to sell the used cell phone through an offline store, receive the used cell phone in person, check the condition of the used cell phone, and then determine the purchase price based on the condition of the used cell phone.

[0006] However, for buyers looking to purchase used phones, determining the condition and grade of the used phone can be a significant challenge. Typically, these buyers first assess the extent of defects in a used phone, then determine its grade based on these identified defects. They then determine the purchase price based on this grade. However, previously, there was no system to determine the grade of a used phone, so it was common for buyers to resort to a haphazard assessment of the grade.

[0007] Therefore, when a certain used mobile phone to be purchased is received at an offline purchasing site, research is needed on a system technology that can more objectively determine the condition grade of the used mobile phone.

[0008] The present invention proposes a judgment service server capable of judging the grade of a used mobile phone and an operating method thereof, thereby enabling a manager in charge of purchasing a used mobile phone at an offline purchasing location to more objectively determine the condition grade of a given used mobile phone when purchasing the same.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone comprises: a defective item storage unit storing information on preset k (k is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) types of defective items for judging the condition of a used mobile phone; a grade information storage unit storing preset n (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) grades related to the condition of a used mobile phone and a set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades, wherein the set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades means a set composed of one or more defective items selected as matching each grade from among the k types of defective items; an item request unit transmitting, to the manager terminal, an item reply request command instructing the manager terminal to reply with a defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the k types of defective items, when a grade judgment request command for a first used mobile phone to be purchased is received from an administrator terminal possessed by an administrator of an offline purchasing location in charge of purchasing used mobile phones; and, in response to the item reply request command, from the manager terminal, When at least one first defective item selected from among defective items of a type is returned, a first defective item set consisting of the at least one first defective item is generated, and then, with reference to the grade information storage unit, a selection unit selects, from among the n grades, any one grade having a defective item set matching the first defective item set, and a grade information transmission unit generates a grade determination message informing that the first grade is the grade of the first used mobile phone and transmits the message to the administrator terminal when the first grade is selected as a result of the selection unit's selection.

[0010] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an operation method of a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone comprises the steps of: maintaining a defective item storage unit storing information on preset k (k is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) types of defective items for judging the condition of a used mobile phone; maintaining a grade information storage unit storing n (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) grades related to the condition of a used mobile phone and a set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades, wherein the set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades means a set composed of one or more defective items selected as matching each grade from among the k types of defective items; when a grade judgment request command for a first used mobile phone to be purchased is received from an administrator terminal owned by an administrator of an offline purchasing location in charge of purchasing used mobile phones, a step of transmitting, to the administrator terminal, an item reply request command instructing a reply to a defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the k types of defective items; and a step of transmitting, from the administrator terminal, a response to the item reply request command. In response, when at least one first defective item selected from among the k types of defective items is returned, a step of generating a first defective item set composed of the at least one first defective item, and then, by referring to the grade information storage unit, selecting one grade among the n grades that has a defective item set matching the first defective item set, and a step of generating a grade determination message that informs that the first grade is the grade of the first used mobile phone and transmitting the message to the administrator terminal when the first grade is selected as a result of the selection in the selecting step.

[0011] The present invention provides a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone and an operating method thereof, thereby enabling a manager in charge of purchasing a used mobile phone at an offline purchasing location to more objectively determine the condition grade of a given used mobile phone when attempting to purchase it.

[0016] Meanwhile, the blocks in the attached block diagram or the steps in the flowchart may be interpreted as computer program instructions that are loaded into the processor or memory of a data processing device such as a general-purpose computer, special-purpose computer, portable laptop computer, or network computer to perform specified functions. Since these computer program instructions can be stored in a memory equipped in the computer device or a computer-readable memory, the functions described in the blocks in the block diagram or the steps in the flowchart may be produced as a product that includes a command means for performing the same. In addition, each block or each step may represent a module, segment, or part of code that includes one or more executable instructions for performing a specific logical function(s). It should also be noted that in some alternative embodiments, the functions mentioned in the blocks or steps may be performed out of the specified order. For example, two blocks or steps depicted in succession may be performed substantially simultaneously or in reverse order, and in some cases, some blocks or steps may be performed with some blocks or steps omitted.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the structure of a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 1, the judgment service server (110) according to the present invention includes a defective item storage unit (111), a grade information storage unit (112), an item request unit (113), a selection unit (114), and a grade information transmission unit (115).

[0019] The defective item storage unit (111) stores information on preset k types of defective items (k is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) for determining the condition of a used mobile phone.

[0020] In relation to this, the above-mentioned defective items may be set as 'light signs of use, broken LCD, damaged LCD glass, broken back, damaged frame', etc.

[0021] The grade information storage unit (112) stores n preset grades (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) related to the condition of a used mobile phone, and a set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades. Here, the set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades means a set composed of one or more defective items selected from among the k types of defective items to match each grade.

[0022] For example, if n is 5 and the better the condition of the mobile phone, the higher the grade is assigned, information may be stored in the grade information storage unit (112) as shown in Table 1 below.

[0023]

[0024] Defective Items Set Grade 1 [Light signs of use] Grade 2 [LCD broken] Grade 3 [LCD glass damaged] Grade 4 [Back broken, frame damaged] Grade 5 [LCD glass damaged, frame damaged] Grade 6 [LCD broken, LCD glass damaged, frame damaged] Grade 7 [LCD broken, LCD glass damaged, back broken]......

[0025]

[0026] In this situation, when a seller who owns a certain used mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as a “first used mobile phone”) visits an offline purchasing site (10) in charge of purchasing used mobile phones and hands over the first used mobile phone to the manager of the offline purchasing site (10) in order to sell his / her first used mobile phone, the manager can, through the manager terminal (20) in his / her possession, connect to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention and transmit a grade judgment request command for the first used mobile phone in order to determine the condition of the first used mobile phone.

[0027] Through this, when a grade judgment request command for the first used mobile phone to be purchased is received by the judgment service server (110) of the present invention from the administrator terminal (20) owned by the administrator of the offline purchase location (10) in charge of purchasing used mobile phones, the item request unit (113) transmits an item reply request command to the administrator terminal (20) instructing it to reply with a defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the k types of defective items.

[0028] Then, the administrator can carefully examine the first used mobile phone with the naked eye, select a defective item found in the first used mobile phone from among the k types of defective items, and send the selection result to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention via the administrator terminal (20).

[0029] In this way, when at least one first defective item selected from among the k types of defective items is returned to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention in response to the item reply request command from the administrator terminal (20), the selection unit (114) creates a first defective item set composed of the at least one first defective item, and then, with reference to the grade information storage unit (112), selects one grade among the n grades that has a defective item set that matches the first defective item set.

[0030] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the selection unit (114) calculates the Jaccard distance between the set of defective items for each of the n grades stored in the grade information storage unit (112) and the first set of defective items in order to select any one grade among the n grades that has a set of defective items matching the first set of defective items, and then selects any one grade among the n grades for which the Jaccard distance is calculated to be the minimum as the grade that has a set of defective items matching the first set of defective items.

[0031] Here, the Jaccard distance is a measure of dissimilarity between two sets, and is the Jaccard index, which is the number of elements included in the intersection between the two sets divided by the number of elements included in the union, minus 1.

[0032] For example, let's assume that the at least one first defective item received in response to the item reply request command from the administrator terminal (20) is 'LCD broken, LCD glass damaged, frame damaged'. Then, the selection unit (114) can create a first defective item set composed of the at least one first defective item, such as '[LCD broken, LCD glass damaged, frame damaged]'.

[0033] Thereafter, the selection unit (114) can calculate the Jaccard distance between the defective item set for each of the n grades stored in the grade information storage unit (112) as shown in Table 1 above and the first defective item set, '[liquid crystal breakage, liquid crystal glass damage, frame damage].

[0034] Then, the selection unit (114) can select 'grade 6', which is the grade with the minimum Jaccard distance among the above n grades ('grade 6' in this embodiment).

[0035] The grade information transmission unit (115), when the first grade is selected as a result of the selection by the selection unit (114), generates a grade determination message indicating that the first grade is the grade of the first used mobile phone, and transmits the message to the administrator terminal (20).

[0036] In relation to this, as in the example described above, if 'grade 6' is selected as the first grade through the selection unit (114), the grade information transmission unit (115) can generate a grade determination message informing that 'grade 6' is the grade of the first used mobile phone and transmit it to the administrator terminal (20).

[0037] Through this, the manager can know that the condition grade of the first used mobile phone is 'grade 6'.

[0038] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the judgment service server (110) may further include a table storage unit (116), a name request unit (117), and a price information transmission unit (118).

[0039] In the table storage unit (116), product names for a plurality of different types of mobile phones and a standard purchase price table corresponding to each of the plurality of mobile phones are stored in correspondence with each other.

[0040] In relation to this, information may be stored in the table storage unit (116) as shown in Table 2 below.

[0041]

[0042] Product Name Standard Purchase Price Table for Multiple Cell Phones Product Name 1 Standard Purchase Price Table 1 Product Name 2 Standard Purchase Price Table 2 Product Name 3 Standard Purchase Price Table 3......

[0043]

[0044] Here, the standard purchase price table corresponding to each of the plurality of mobile phones refers to a table in which the standard purchase price according to the condition of each mobile phone is recorded for use when purchasing a used mobile phone, and the standard purchase price table corresponding to each of the n grades may have the standard purchase price corresponding to each of the n grades recorded.

[0045] For example, if there is a 'standard purchase price table 1' corresponding to 'product name 1', the 'standard purchase price table 1' may be set as shown in Table 3 below.

[0046]

[0047] Grade Standard Purchase Price Grade 1 500,000 won Grade 2 450,000 won Grade 3 400,000 won Grade 4 350,000 won Grade 5 300,000 won Grade 6 250,000 won......

[0048]

[0049] The standard purchase price table corresponding to each of these mobile phones is a table preset by the operator of the judgment service server (110) of the present invention. The operator conducts a survey on price fluctuations in the second-hand transaction market for each mobile phone at daily intervals, calculates a standard purchase price according to the condition of each mobile phone, and then configures a standard purchase price table as shown in Table 3 above based on this.

[0050] After the grade determination message is transmitted to the administrator terminal (20), when a calculation request command requesting calculation of the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone is received from the administrator terminal (20), the name request unit (117) transmits a name reply request command instructing the administrator terminal (20) to select and reply with a product name matching the first used mobile phone among the product names of the plurality of mobile phones.

[0051] Then, the administrator can select a product name matching the first used mobile phone among the product names of the plurality of mobile phones and send information about it to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention through the administrator terminal (20).

[0052] When the product name for the first mobile phone, which is one of the product names for the plurality of mobile phones, is returned from the administrator terminal (20) in response to the name reply request command, the price information transmission unit (118) checks the first standard purchase price table stored in correspondence with the product name of the first mobile phone from the table storage unit (116), extracts the first standard purchase price recorded in correspondence with the first grade in the first standard purchase price table, and then generates a price guidance message informing that the first standard purchase price is the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone, and transmits the message to the administrator terminal (20).

[0053] In relation to this, as in the example described above, if the first grade determined for the first used mobile phone is 'Grade 6' and the product name of the first used mobile phone returned from the administrator terminal (20) is 'Product Name 1', the price information transmission unit (118) may extract '250,000 won' recorded corresponding to 'Grade 6' in the 'Standard Purchase Price Table 1' as shown in Table 3 corresponding to 'Product Name 1' as the first standard purchase price, and then generate a price information message informing that '250,000 won' is the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone, and transmit the same to the administrator terminal (20).

[0054] Through this, the manager can determine that the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone is '250,000 won', and can negotiate the price with the seller of the first used mobile phone by proposing to the seller that the first used mobile phone can be purchased for '250,000 won'.

[0055] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the judgment service server (110) may further include an additional defective item storage unit (119), an additional item request unit (120), and an adjustment guide unit (121).

[0056] The additional defective item storage unit (119) stores preset t types of additional defective items (t is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) for use in adjusting the purchase price of a used mobile phone, and price deduction amounts corresponding to each of the t types of additional defective items.

[0057] Here, the additional defective items refer to additional defective items separate from the defective items previously stored in the defective item storage unit (111), and may be designated as 'camera defect, power defect, afterimage, Wi-Fi defect, fingerprint recognition defect', etc. These additional defective items, unlike the defective items stored in the defective item storage unit (111), may be designated as defective items that have relatively little effect on the performance of the mobile phone.

[0058] At this time, information may be stored in the additional defective item storage unit (119) as shown in Table 4 below.

[0059]

[0060] Additional Defective Item Price Deduction: Camera Defect: 50,000 won deduction, Power Defect: 100,000 won deduction, Image Residual: 80,000 won deduction, Wi-Fi Defect: 70,000 won deduction, Fingerprint Recognition Defect: 30,000 won deduction...

[0061]

[0062] When the price information message is transmitted to the administrator terminal (20), the additional item request unit (120) additionally checks whether the first grade corresponds to a grade lower than a preset standard grade, and if it is confirmed that the first grade corresponds to a grade lower than the standard grade, it transmits an additional item reply request command to the administrator terminal (20) instructing it to reply to the additional defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the t types of additional defective items.

[0063] In relation to this, as in the example described above, if the first grade is determined to be 'grade 6' and the standard grade is 'grade 4', since 'grade 6' corresponds to a grade lower than 'grade 4', the additional item request unit (120) can transmit an additional item reply request command to the administrator terminal (20) instructing it to reply with an additional defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the t types of additional defective items.

[0064] Then, the administrator can carefully examine the first used mobile phone with the naked eye, select an additional defective item found in the first used mobile phone from among the t types of additional defective items, and send the selection result to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention via the administrator terminal (20).

[0065] In this way, when at least one first additional defective item selected from the t types of additional defective items is returned to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention in response to the additional item reply request command from the administrator terminal (20), the adjustment guide unit (121) extracts a price deduction amount corresponding to each of the at least one first additional defective item from the additional defective item storage unit (119), and then generates an adjustment guide message that guides that the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone can be adjusted to a price obtained by deducting the price deduction amount corresponding to each of the at least one first additional defective item from the first standard purchase price, and additionally transmits the adjustment guide message to the administrator terminal (20).

[0066] In relation to this, as in the example described above, let us assume that the first standard purchase price determined as the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone is '250,000 won', and that the at least one first additional defective item received from the administrator terminal (20) is 'camera defect, power defect'.

[0067] Then, the adjustment guide unit (121) extracts the price deduction amounts corresponding to 'camera defect, power defect', '50,000 won, 100,000 won' from the additional defective item storage unit (119) as shown in Table 4 above, and then generates an adjustment guide message informing that the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone can be adjusted to '100,000 won', which is the price obtained by deducting a total of '150,000 won' from the first standard purchase price of '250,000 won', and additionally transmits the message to the administrator terminal (20).

[0068] Through this, the manager can determine the standard purchase price of the first used mobile phone as '100,000 won' rather than '250,000 won'.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the judgment service server (110) may further include a configuration for performing mutual authentication with the administrator terminal (20) for security purposes when performing a grade judgment process upon receiving a grade judgment request command for the first used mobile phone from the administrator terminal (20).

[0070] In this regard, the item request unit (113) may include a function storage unit (122), a private key storage unit (123), an authentication event generation unit (124), a conversion unit (125), a signature unit (126), and a transmission processing unit (127).

[0071] There are 2 in the function storage (122) p (p is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) A preset OTP (One-Time Password) generation function for generating a one-time password of a number of digits is stored. At this time, the OTP generation function is also pre-stored in the administrator terminal (20).

[0072] Here, the OTP generation function is a function that can generate the same one-time password according to the same number generation algorithm using information (e.g., time) that can be commonly verified between the transmitting side and the receiving side as a seed, and is a function frequently used in environments requiring security, such as Internet banking. In the present invention, the OTP generation function is 2 p Assume that you have set it up to allow generating one-time passwords of any number of digits.

[0073] A preset private key for electronic signature is stored in the private key storage unit (123). At this time, the public key corresponding to the private key is stored in the administrator terminal (20).

[0074] When the authentication event generation unit (124) receives the grade determination request command from the administrator terminal (20), it generates an authentication event for performing mutual authentication with the administrator terminal (20) before transmitting the item response request command to the administrator terminal (20).

[0075] When the above authentication event occurs, the conversion unit (125) generates 2 OTPs through the OTP generation function. p Generate a first one-time password of 2 digits and perform a modulo-2 operation on each digit of the first one-time password, p After generating two binary values, by performing a fast Fourier transform on the binary values, 2 p Generates the conversion values ​​of the dog.

[0076] Here, modulo-2 operation refers to the operation that calculates the remainder when the dividend is divided by 2.

[0077] For example, if p is assumed to be '3', the conversion unit (125) can generate an 8-digit first one-time password through the OTP generation function when the authentication event occurs. If the first one-time password is '24643153', the conversion unit (125) can generate 8 binary values ​​'0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1' by performing a modulo-2 operation on each of '2, 4, 6, 4, 3, 1, 5, 3' that constitute the first one-time password.

[0078] Then, the conversion unit (125) can generate eight conversion values ​​in the form of complex numbers, namely, '4, -1+2.41i, 0, -1+0.41i, 0, -1-0.41i, 0, -1-2.41i', by performing a fast Fourier transform on the binary values ​​'0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1'.

[0079] When the above conversion values ​​are generated, the signature unit (126) calculates the absolute value of each of the above conversion values, and then electronically signs the data obtained by adding up the absolute values ​​of each of the above conversion values ​​with the private key to generate a signature value, and then transmits the signature value to the administrator terminal (20) while transmitting a verification command instructing verification to be performed on the signature value.

[0080] In relation to this, as in the example described above, if '4, -1+2.41i, 0, -1+0.41i, 0, -1-0.41i, 0, -1-2.41i' are generated with the above conversion values, the signature unit (126) can calculate the absolute values ​​'4, 2.61, 0, 1.08, 0, 1.08, 0, 2.61' by calculating the absolute value of each of the above conversion values. Then, the signature unit (126) can generate a signature value by electronically signing '11.38', which is data obtained by adding all of these absolute values, with the above private key, and then transmit a verification command instructing verification of the signature value to be performed while transmitting the signature value to the administrator terminal (20).

[0081] At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the administrator terminal (20) receives the verification command together with the signature value, based on the OTP generation function stored in the administrator terminal (20), 2 p By generating the first one-time password of the above number of digits and performing a modulo-2 operation on each digit constituting the first one-time password, 2 p The above binary values ​​can be generated.

[0082] Then, the administrator terminal (20) performs a fast Fourier transform on the binary values, thereby 2 p The above conversion values ​​are generated, and once the conversion values ​​are generated, the absolute value of each of the conversion values ​​is calculated, and then it is possible to check whether the value obtained by decrypting the signature value with the public key stored in the administrator terminal (20) matches the data obtained by adding up the absolute values ​​of each of the conversion values.

[0083] If it is confirmed that both values ​​match each other, the signature value can be regarded as a value electronically signed with a true private key by the judgment service server (110) of the present invention, and therefore, the administrator terminal (20) can generate a verification completion message indicating that verification of the signature value has been completed and reply to the judgment service server (110) of the present invention.

[0084] In this way, when the verification completion message indicating that verification of the signature value has been completed in response to the verification command from the administrator terminal (20) is received by the judgment service server (110) of the present invention, the transmission processing unit (127) can transmit the item reply request command to the administrator terminal (20).

[0085] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a judgment service server capable of performing a grade judgment of a used mobile phone according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0086] In step (S210), a defective item storage unit is maintained in which information on preset k types of defective items (k is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) for determining the condition of a used mobile phone are stored.

[0087] In step (S220), a grade information storage unit is maintained in which a preset number of n grades (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) related to the condition of a used mobile phone and a set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades (the set of defective items corresponding to each of the n grades means a set composed of one or more defective items selected from among the k types of defective items to match each grade) are stored.

[0088] In step (S230), when a grade determination request command for the first used mobile phone to be purchased is received from an administrator terminal owned by an administrator of an offline purchasing location in charge of purchasing used mobile phones, an item reply request command is transmitted to the administrator terminal, which instructs the administrator to reply with a defective item found in the first used mobile phone among the k types of defective items.
