Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of price curve of the present invention.

Embodiment

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, provide preferred embodiment of the present invention, to describe technical scheme of the present invention in detail.

As shown in Figure 1, price alarm set of the present invention comprises adata module 13 and a prompting module 12.Prompting module 12 is for storing a price focus of user's input.Then the price of the commodity in a shopping website can regularly be inquired about and store to data module 13.When the price that inquires described commodity whendata module 13 is reduced to and is equal to or less than described price focus, promptingmodule 12 is just sent a prompting message to described user.

In a preferred embodiment, described price alarm set also comprises adisplay module 14, for showing the different prices of described commodity within one period.Like this, user, when determining whether to buy, can obtain the more information of described commodity.

As a kind of improvement of above-mentioned preferred embodiment,display module 14 shows based on described commodity the price curve (as shown in Figure 3, its transverse axis is the date, and the longitudinal axis is price) that the different prices within one period form.Because compare other display modes, price curve more contributes to open-and-shut commodity price variation tendency to user.

In another preferred embodiment, described price alarm set also comprises anexecution module 11, for receiving described user, determines the instruction of buying and at described shopping website, buys described commodity and receive described user and cancel the instruction of purchase and directly exit.Automatically buying function can save time for user.

Preferably, promptingmodule 12 is sent described prompting message by the mode of note or Email to described user.Like this, even if user is not near described price alarm set, also can obtain in time the prompting message of item price removal.

As shown in Figure 2, the price based reminding method that utilizes described price alarm set to realize comprises the following steps:

The price focus of the commodity in the described shopping website ofstep 201, the described user's input of promptingmodule 12 storage;

The price that described commodity were inquired about and stored tostep 202,data module 13 regularly;

Step 203,data module 13 judge whether the price of described commodity is reduced to and are equal to or less than described price focus, if enter step S204, otherwise exit;

Step 204, promptingmodule 12 are sent a prompting message to described user.

In a preferred embodiment, described price alarm set comprises a display module 14.Corresponding, described price based reminding method also comprisesstep 205 after step 202:display module 14 shows the different prices of described commodity within one period.Contribute to like this user to make better the judgement of whether buying commodity.Although in Fig. 2,step 205 is immediately following afterstep 204, but can reasonably think, as long asstep 205 is all appropriate afterstep 202, because after the price at the described commodity ofdata module 13 storage within one period, the time that displaymodule 14 shows different prices, there is no particular restriction.

As the improvement of said method,step 205 is:display module 14 shows based on described commodity the price curve (as shown in Figure 3) that the different prices within one period form.Compare other forms of expression, price curve is more simple and direct.

In another preferred embodiment, described price alarm set also comprises an execution module 11.Accordingly, described price based reminding method is further comprising the steps of after step 204:

Step 206,execution module 11 receive described user's instruction, if instruction is bought for determining, enterstep 207, otherwise exit;

Step 207,execution module 11 are bought described commodity at described shopping website.Automatically the time that the function of buying can further be saved user.Similarly, step 206,207 and the precedence ofstep 205 be not particularly limited.Have or notstep 205 on the execution ofstep 206 and 207 also without any impact.Although can produce more useful effect to user beforestep 205 is placed in tostep 206 and 207.

Preferably, instep 204, promptingmodule 12 is sent described prompting message by the mode of note or Email to described user.Like this, even if user is not near described price alarm set, also can obtain in time the prompting message of item price removal.

Although more than described the specific embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that these only illustrate, protection scope of the present invention is limited by appended claims.Those skilled in the art is not deviating under the prerequisite of principle of the present invention and essence, can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments, but these changes and modification all fall into protection scope of the present invention.
