Description

Dental Supplies Trading Service Provision System and Method

[0001] This invention relates to a dental supplies trading service provision system and method.

[0002] In the past, the concept of second-hand trading was limited to a means of purchasing old or worn-out products at low prices; however, its meaning has recently expanded and is evolving into various forms. Even amidst the recent COVID-19 crisis, there has been an increasing trend of consumers seeking local second-hand transactions. As second-hand trading platforms continue to grow qualitatively in areas such as delivery and payment systems, second-hand trading is establishing itself as "consumption based on personal taste," moving beyond mere rational consumption. With changing consumer perceptions of second-hand trading and a heightened awareness of environmental values, these platforms are expanding their businesses into diverse fields. Beyond simply trading used goods, they are acting as channels for communication within local communities and connecting necessary local services. Currently, domestic second-hand trading platforms are broadly categorized into three types: local community platforms, product-centric marketplaces, and resale platforms specializing in limited editions or luxury goods.

[0003] Meanwhile, dental instruments and textbooks purchased at high prices by dental or dental hygiene students to prepare for clinical practice or national examinations are often left unused or neglected, and there is a lack of dedicated platforms for second-hand trading in the dental industry that allow for price comparison and transactions of used dental supplies. Therefore, this proposal aims to provide a system that offers dental supply trading services.

[0004] The technology forming the background of this invention is disclosed in Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1658696.

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the aforementioned prior art by providing a dental supplies trading service system and method that can resolve the inconvenience of having to visit multiple platforms for price comparison when trading used dental supplies.

[0009] Additionally, the server may include a first authentication unit that authenticates a user based on the buyer information and the seller information, a second authentication unit that authenticates the sales item information to be registered on the dental product trading platform, a storage unit that stores the purchase information and sales information, and an information providing unit that retrieves the transaction information corresponding to a request from the buyer terminal or the seller terminal from the storage unit and provides it to the buyer terminal or the seller terminal.

[0010] In addition, the first authentication unit performs authentication by verifying the location information, identification card, driver's license, or student ID of the user including the buyer or seller, and the storage unit can classify and store the buyer information of the authenticated buyer or the seller information of the authenticated seller into multiple categories.

[0011] Additionally, the server may provide purchase and sale services on the dental supplies trading platform if the user is authenticated by the first authentication unit, and may provide only purchase services on the dental supplies trading platform if the user is not authenticated by the first authentication unit.

[0012] In addition, the second authentication unit performs authentication based on a pre-set dental product list and the sales product information, and the storage unit can store the authenticated sales product information by classifying it into multiple categories.

[0013] In addition, the information provider may further provide appropriate transaction price information for the dental product calculated by analyzing the transaction history information and the buyer information, seller information, and product information stored in the storage unit.

[0014] Additionally, if the sales information matching the purchase information in the storage unit does not exist, the information providing unit may provide purchase link information or group purchase service link information for the dental product.

[0015] In addition, the information provider may provide price comparison information that compares the prices of the dental products based on the appropriate transaction price information and the purchase link information.

[0016] In addition, when a transaction is scheduled between the buyer and the seller, the information provider may provide safe transaction location information based on the user's location information.

[0017] Meanwhile, a method for providing a dental supplies transaction service according to one embodiment of the present invention may include the steps of receiving purchase information including purchase information and buyer information from a buyer through a dental supplies transaction platform, receiving sales information including sales information and seller information from a seller through a dental supplies transaction platform, and providing the dental supplies transaction platform and matching the purchase information and the sales information to transmit transaction information to a buyer terminal or a seller terminal.

[0018] The means for solving the problem described above are merely exemplary and should not be interpreted as intended to limit the present invention. In addition to the exemplary embodiments described above, additional embodiments may exist in the drawings and the detailed description of the invention.

[0019] According to the aforementioned means of solving the problem of the present invention, by providing a dental supplies trading platform where dental students (dental, dental hygiene, dental technology, etc.) and professionals (dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, etc.) can buy and sell used dental supplies, the inconvenience of having to visit multiple platforms to search for and compare desired dental supplies is resolved, and the economic burden on users can be reduced through reasonable transactions.

[0051] However, the multiple menus for receiving purchase and sales information are not limited to the menus described above, but can be configured with various menus depending on the settings of the administrator managing the dental supplies trading platform.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the server (50) provides a dental product trading platform and can match purchase information and sales information to transmit transaction information to a buyer terminal (30) or a seller terminal (40).

[0053] Specifically, the server (50) provides a dental product trading platform to a user terminal including a buyer terminal (30) or a seller terminal (40) via a network (20), and can search for and match purchase information or sales information stored in the server (50) upon the request of the buyer or seller, and transmit matching transaction information to the user terminal.

[0054] More specifically, the server (50) can store purchase information and sales information entered by multiple buyers or multiple sellers, and transmit transaction information corresponding to the request of the buyer or seller to the user terminal.

[0055] FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a server (50) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 3, the server (50) may include a first authentication unit (110) that authenticates a user based on buyer information and seller information, a second authentication unit (120) that authenticates product information to be registered on a dental product trading platform, a storage unit (130) that stores purchase information and sales information, and an information providing unit (140) that retrieves transaction information corresponding to a request from a buyer terminal (30) or a seller terminal (40) from the storage unit (130) and provides it to the buyer terminal (30) or the seller terminal (40).

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first authentication unit (110) can authenticate a user based on buyer information and seller information.

[0058] Specifically, the first authentication unit (110) can register a user who can use the dental product trading platform by verifying user information (buyer information or seller information) including the location, occupation, major, etc. of the user (buyer or seller) received through the user terminal (buyer terminal (30) or seller terminal (40)).

[0059] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first authentication unit (110) can perform authentication by verifying the location information of a user, including a buyer or seller, an identification card, a driver's license, or a student ID.

[0060] Specifically, the first authentication unit (110) can perform authentication by verifying the user's location information based on the location information of the user terminal, detailed information of the identification card, license, or student ID entered by the user, and an attachment file for the identification card, license, or student ID submitted by the user.

[0061] In this regard, FIG. 4 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating the authentication of a user through a dental product trading platform according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 4, the first certification unit (110) can determine whether to authenticate by verifying user authentication information (expert authentication information or student authentication information) entered through the user authentication menu of the dental product trading platform provided in response to a user selection of one of the categories divided into experts (dentist, dental hygienist, dental technician, etc.) and students (dental science, dental hygiene science, dental technology science, etc.).

[0063] Specifically, referring to FIG. 4 (a), the first authentication unit (110) can determine whether to authenticate by verifying the user's name, address, contact information, license number, and proof file entered through the expert authentication menu provided when the user selects an expert category.

[0064] More specifically, the dental supplies trading platform provides an expert certification menu corresponding to a user's selection of an expert category, and the first certification unit (110) can determine whether to certify by verifying expert certification information and proof files including a name, address, contact information, and license number entered by the user through the expert certification menu.

[0065] In addition, the first certification unit (110) can determine whether to certify a user who has applied for user certification by attaching not only expert certification information but also supporting files such as identification cards and licenses. Here, a license refers to a certificate acknowledging qualifications obtained by obtaining a license from the Minister of Health and Welfare, such as a dentist, dental hygienist, or dental technician.

[0066] Additionally, referring to Fig. 4(b), the first authentication unit (110) can determine whether to authenticate by verifying the user's name, address, contact information, school, and student ID number entered through the student authentication menu provided when the user selects a student category.

[0067] Specifically, the dental supplies trading platform provides a student authentication menu corresponding to a user's selection of a student category, and the first authentication unit (110) can determine whether to authenticate by verifying student authentication information and proof files including name, address, contact information, school and student ID number entered by the user through the student authentication menu.

[0068] In addition, the first authentication unit (110) can determine whether to authenticate a user who has applied for user authentication by attaching not only student authentication information but also supporting files such as identification cards and student IDs.

[0069] More specifically, the first authentication unit (110) can verify a user authentication request based on pre-set verification information for an expert or student and determine whether to authenticate.

[0070] In other words, the first certification unit (110) can pre-set verification information regarding experts (dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, etc.) or students (dental science, dental hygiene, dental technology, etc.) and perform a first verification in response to a user authentication request based on expert authentication information or student authentication information entered by the user and an attached proof file.

[0071] In addition, the first authentication unit (110) can transmit the user information of the user for whom the first verification has been completed to the authentication server for the user's authentication request to perform a second verification and determine whether authentication is possible.

[0072] Specifically, the first authentication unit (110) can transmit user information of a user who has passed the first verification to a server of a school or institution to perform a second verification and determine whether to finalize the authentication.

[0073] For example, the first authentication unit (110) may perform a first authentication by searching for Yonsei University Dental Hygiene Department in pre-set authentication information and determining whether it matches if the user information entered by the user is Yonsei University Dental Hygiene Department and the student ID is 202310000, and then transmit the user information including the occupation, school, student ID, etc. of the user who passed the first authentication and the attached file to a Yonsei University server or a specialized authentication agency to perform a second authentication and determine whether to finalize the authentication based on the results of the second authentication.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the server (50) provides purchase and sales services on the dental supplies trading platform when the user is authenticated by the first authentication unit (110), and when the user is not authenticated by the first authentication unit (110), it may provide only purchase services on the dental supplies trading platform.

[0075] Specifically, the server (50) registers a user who has passed a second verification from the first authentication unit (110) and has been finally authenticated as a user who can buy or sell dental supplies on the dental supplies trading platform, and for a user who has not been authenticated by the first authentication unit (110), it may provide only a purchase service to buy dental supplies on the dental supplies trading platform and restrict the sale service.

[0076] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the server (50) may restrict the right to use the dental product trading platform based on the authentication result of the user of the first authentication unit (110).

[0077] Specifically, the server (50) can classify the authentication results for the user in the first authentication unit (110) as first verification incomplete, first verification completed, second verification incomplete, and second verification completed, and can restrict the right to use the dental product trading platform according to the corresponding authentication results.

[0078] For example, the server (50) may restrict the right to use all services of the dental supplies trading platform, such as purchase or sale services, for users who have not completed the first verification, provide only the right to purchase services of the dental supplies trading platform for users who have completed the first verification, determine that users who have not completed the second verification are users who have entered false information, restrict them from using all services provided by the dental supplies trading platform for a specified period, and provide the right to all services, not just purchase or sale services provided by the dental supplies trading platform, for users who have completed the second verification.

[0079] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second certification unit (120) can certify information on items for sale to be registered on a dental product trading platform.

[0080] In this regard, FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating, in an exemplary manner, the authentication of product information through a dental product trading platform according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 5, the user applies for certification by inputting product information including the purchase date, usage period, purpose of use, type, quantity, sales price, usage period and lifespan information of the dental product that the seller intends to sell through the dental product trading platform, and the second certification unit (120) can determine whether to register the product by inputting the product information into a first artificial intelligence model that has been built in advance.

[0082] The first artificial intelligence model according to one embodiment of the present invention may be, for example, a model based on a plurality of machine learning neural networks. The object recognition model may be designed to simulate the structure of the human brain on a computer and may include a plurality of network nodes that simulate neurons of a human neural network and have weights. The plurality of network nodes may each form a connection relationship to simulate the synaptic activity of neurons, in which neurons exchange signals through synapses. In addition, the object recognition model may include, for example, a neural network model or a deep learning model developed from a neural network model. In a deep learning model, the plurality of network nodes may be located at different depths (or layers) and exchange data according to convolutional connection relationships. Examples of artificial intelligence models may include, but are not limited to, Deep Neural Networks (DNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), and Bidirectional Recurrent Deep Neural Networks (BRDNN).

[0083] More specifically, the second certification unit (120) can determine whether to authenticate the sales product information requested by the seller based on the first artificial intelligence model built in advance by learning multiple sales information entered by multiple sellers, including the type of dental product, sales price, purchase date, etc.

[0084] For example, the second certification unit (120) may decide not to register the product in question on the dental product trading platform if the sales price among the product information entered by the seller is higher than a predetermined ratio than the price determined by the first artificial intelligence model, and may decide not to register the product in question on the dental product trading platform if the purchase date does not fall within a pre-set period range for each type of dental product.

[0085] As another example, the first artificial intelligence model of the second certification unit (120) may analyze the utilization (transaction history ranking), usage period, usage period and lifespan information of the item for sale to calculate the depreciation cost of the item for sale and derive an appropriate price, and if the difference between the selling price entered by the seller and the appropriate price is higher than a preset ratio, it may decide not to register the item for sale on the dental supply trading platform.

[0086] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second authentication unit (120) can determine whether to authenticate a product by inputting an image of a product among the product information entered by a seller into a pre-built second artificial intelligence model.

[0087] Specifically, the second certification unit (120) can determine whether to certify the product by inputting an image of the product to be sold from a seller into a pre-built second artificial intelligence model through a dental product trading platform.

[0088] Here, the secondary AI model built through AI-based learning can be implemented as a deep learning model suitable for image analysis, such as a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Artificial intelligence refers to the field of researching artificial intelligence or methodologies capable of creating it, while machine learning refers to the field of researching methodologies to define and solve various problems addressed within the field of artificial intelligence. Machine learning is also defined as an algorithm that improves performance on a task through continuous experience with that task.

[0089] As another example, a model constructed through AI-based learning may be a semantic segmentation-based model trained to determine the classification category for each pixel of an input image (state image information) with a predefined class (object type). In this regard, a semantic segmentation-based segmentation model according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a model that considers each of the aforementioned organizational types as a class for segmentation.

[0090] More specifically, the second certification unit (120) can determine whether a product is certified based on a second artificial intelligence model generated by matching and learning images of products and product information (purchase date, usage period, purpose of use, type, quantity, sales price, usage period and lifespan information, etc.) of products entered by multiple sellers through a dental product trading platform.

[0091] For example, the second certification unit (120) may input an image of a product for sale entered by a seller into a second artificial intelligence model to search for an image of a dental product that matches the image of the product for sale, compare the product information of the searched image with the product information of the product entered by the seller to derive the status of the product for sale (top grade, high grade, middle grade, low grade, unsellable) and determine whether to certify (register) the product for sale.

[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second certification unit (120) can perform certification based on a pre-set dental product list and product information.

[0093] Specifically, the second certification unit (120) can pre-set a list of dental products that can be registered on a dental product platform and perform certification of product information based on the list of dental products.

[0094] For example, the second certification unit (120) may pre-set a list of dental products that are tradable based on standard indicators of the comprehensive guide for dental materials items notified by the current Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, Medical Devices Act, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, such as practice items (dental hand instruments, dental models, practice clothes, practice shoes), and specialized books, and perform certification by determining whether the sales product information matches the list of dental products.

[0095] In addition, the second certification unit (120) can determine whether to register the products on the dental product platform by combining the certification results for the products of the first artificial intelligence model and the second artificial intelligence model.

[0096] For example, the second certification unit (120) may determine whether to register the product on the dental product platform by combining the sales price entered by the seller and the derived appropriate price as a result of the certification of the first artificial intelligence model, and the status of the product for sale derived from the second artificial intelligence model (top grade, high grade, middle grade, low grade, unsellable).

[0097] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the server (50) can provide a sales service based on a dental product trading platform to a user who has authenticated a product for sale at the second authentication unit (120).

[0098] Specifically, the server (50) allows the user to use the sales service on the dental supplies trading platform when the sales item registered by the user authenticated by the first authentication unit (110) is authenticated by the second authentication unit (120), and restricts the user from using the sales service on the dental supplies trading platform when the sales item is not authenticated.

[0099] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit (130) can store purchase information and sales information.

[0100] Specifically, the storage unit (130) can store purchase information and sales information entered by the user in a database separately provided on the server (50).

[0101] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit (130) can classify and store authenticated buyer information or authenticated seller information into a plurality of categories.

[0102] For example, the storage unit (130) may classify users (buyers and sellers) authenticated by the first authentication unit (110) into categories such as experts (dentists, dental hygienists, dental technicians), students (dental science, dental hygiene, dental technology, etc.) and store buyer information or seller information entered by the buyer or seller separately by category.

[0103] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit (130) can store authenticated sales item information by classifying it into a plurality of categories.

[0104] In this regard, FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating the provision of items classified into multiple categories for dental articles according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0105] Referring to FIG. 6, the storage unit (130) stores sales item information certified by the second certification unit (120) by classifying it into practice items (dental hand instruments, dental models, practice uniforms, practice shoes), specialized books, etc., and the server (50) can provide a service that allows a user to search for desired dental items by selecting one of the classified categories through the dental item trading platform.

[0106] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the information providing unit (140) can retrieve transaction information corresponding to a request from the buyer terminal (30) or seller terminal (40) from the storage unit (130) and provide it to the buyer terminal (30) or seller terminal (40).

[0107] In this regard, FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary view of providing sales product information based on a dental product trading platform according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] Referring to FIG. 7, the server (50) searches for sales item information, including images and prices of authenticated sales items, from the database of the storage unit (130) in response to a menu selected by the user through a dental product trading platform, provides a matched result, and can provide only information about the item selected by the user among the sales item information through a filter.

[0109] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the information providing unit (140) can provide appropriate transaction price information for dental products calculated by analyzing transaction history information and buyer information, seller information, and product information stored in the storage unit (130).

[0110] Specifically, the information providing unit (140) can provide appropriate transaction price information for dental products by considering the transaction history information between the buyer and the seller and the appropriate price derived by analyzing the buyer information, seller information, and product information in the first artificial intelligence model of the first certification unit (110).

[0111] For example, the information providing unit (140) may determine the appropriate transaction price of the Dentiform to be 160,000 won if the average price of the transaction history information between the buyer and seller regarding the Dentiform is 170,000 won and the appropriate price derived from the first artificial intelligence model is 150,000 won.

[0112] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if there is no sales information matching the purchase information in the storage unit (130), the information providing unit (140) may provide purchase link information or group purchase service information for dental products.

[0113] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary view of providing purchase link information or group purchase service information for dental products according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0114] Referring to FIG. 8 (a), the information provider (140) can provide price comparison information that compares the prices of dental products according to appropriate transaction price information and purchase link information.

[0115] Specifically, if the information providing unit (140) does not have sales item information matching the purchase item information requested by the buyer through the dental item trading platform in the storage unit (130), it can provide purchase link information that allows the purchase of dental items corresponding to the purchase item information, output price information of dental items based on the purchase link information together with an appropriate transaction price, and provide price comparison information that compares prices.

[0116] Additionally, referring to Fig. 8 (b), if the information providing unit (140) does not have sales item information matching the purchase item information requested by the buyer in the storage unit (130), it can provide group purchase service information through the dental item trading platform.

[0117] Specifically, the information provider (140) can provide information about the group purchase period, group purchase notification settings, and group purchase price through the group purchase menu of the dental supplies trading platform, and can provide group purchase service information that allows you to apply for a group purchase.

[0118] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a transaction between a buyer and a seller is scheduled, the information providing unit (140) can provide safe transaction location information based on the user's location information.

[0119] Specifically, when a transaction between a buyer and a seller is completed, the information providing unit (140) can provide safe transaction location information based on the location information of the buyer terminal (30) and the location information of the seller terminal (40).

[0120] For example, the information providing unit (140) may select an area where the travel time of the buyer and the seller is the same based on the location information of the buyer terminal (30) and the location information of the seller terminal (40), determine one of the landmarks searched around the selected area as safe transaction location information, and provide address information of the safe transaction location information.

[0124] In step S11, the buyer terminal (30) can receive purchase information including purchase item information and buyer information from the buyer through the dental item trading platform.

[0125] Next, in step S12, the seller terminal (40) can receive sales information including product information and seller information from the seller through the dental product trading platform.

[0126] Next, in step S13, the server (50) can provide a dental supplies trading platform and match purchase information and sales information to transmit transaction information to a buyer terminal (30) or a seller terminal (40).

[0127] Additionally, in step S13, the first authentication unit (110) authenticates the user based on buyer information and seller information, the second authentication unit (120) authenticates product information to be registered on the dental product trading platform, the storage unit (130) stores purchase information and sales information, and the information provision unit (140) can search for transaction information corresponding to a request from the buyer terminal (30) or seller terminal (40) and provide it to the buyer terminal (30) or seller terminal (40).

[0128] Additionally, in step S13, the first authentication unit (110) performs authentication by verifying the location information, identification card, driver's license, or student ID of a user including a buyer or seller, and the storage unit (130) can classify and store the buyer information of the authenticated buyer or the seller information of the authenticated seller into multiple categories.

[0129] Additionally, in step S13, if the user is authenticated by the first authentication unit (110), the server (50) can provide purchase and sale services on the dental supplies trading platform, and if the user is not authenticated by the first authentication unit (110), it can provide only purchase services on the dental supplies trading platform.

[0130] Additionally, in step S13, the second authentication unit (120) performs authentication based on a pre-set dental product list and product information, and the storage unit (130) can store the authenticated product information by classifying it into multiple categories.

[0131] Additionally, in step S13, the information providing unit (140) may further provide appropriate transaction price information for dental products calculated by analyzing transaction history information and buyer information, seller information, and product information stored in the storage unit (130).

[0132] Additionally, in step S13, if there is no sales information matching the purchase information in the storage unit (130), the information providing unit (140) may provide purchase link information or group purchase service information for dental products.

[0133] Additionally, in step S13, the information provider (140) may provide price comparison information that compares the appropriate transaction price and the price of dental products according to the purchase link information.

[0134] Additionally, in step S13, the information provider (140) can provide safe transaction location information based on the user's location information when a transaction between a buyer and a seller is scheduled.

[0135] In the description above, steps S11 to S13 may be further divided into additional steps or combined into fewer steps according to an embodiment of the present invention. Additionally, some steps may be omitted as necessary, and the order of the steps may be changed.
