Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de gestion dynamique de l'équilibre du marché spécialement adapté à la vente de marchandises et de services via un groupement d'achats en ligne (dit ici "co-op") constitué spécifiquement en vue de l'achat d'un produit particulier (102) et définissant une date d'ouverture, une date de clôture, une masse critique, un nombre minimum d'unités offertes, un nombre maximum d'unités offertes, le prix de départ, et la courbe de coût du produit. Le gestionnaire dynamique d'équilibre fait varier (108) le "co-op" suivant les données recueillies sur les acheteurs par l'intermédiaire de leurs offres d'achat liantes, ce qui permet de prendre en compte l'offre et la demande relatives à l'article à vendre et leur interrelation avec le prix d'achat. Le système de gestion dynamique de l'équilibre du marché utilisé avec le groupement d'achats en ligne permet de prendre des décisions de gestion à effet immédiat fondées sur les données réelle du marché. Une interface graphique recevant des données d'entrée relatives aux utilisateurs permet la manipulation directe sur un écran des représentations graphiques des données d'une base de données et l'affichage sur cet écran de données variables rétroactives, par exemple sous la forme de valeurs numériques variant lorsque l'utilisateur déplace au moins un point de données sur l'écran.The invention relates to a dynamic market balance management system specially adapted for the sale of goods and services via a group of online purchases (here called "co-op") formed specifically for the purpose of purchase of a particular product (102) and defining an opening date, a closing date, a critical mass, a minimum number of units offered, a maximum number of units offered, the starting price, and the curve cost of the product. The dynamic equilibrium manager varies (108) the "co-op" according to the data collected on the buyers via their binding purchase offers, which makes it possible to take into account the relative supply and demand to the item for sale and their interrelation with the purchase price. The dynamic market equilibrium management system used with the online purchasing group makes it possible to make management decisions with immediate effect based on actual market data. A graphical interface receiving input data relating to users allows direct manipulation on a screen of graphical representations of data from a database and the display on this screen of retroactive variable data, for example in the form of numerical values varying when the user moves at least one data point on the screen.
