Perpetually decreasing group pricing system and method

摘要

The present invention takes an input of the acceptable pricing to volume points from a business and outputs a continuous function which interpolates the pricing information for the entire range of customer volumes. As each consumer agrees to purchase an offer, they are added to the group, and the price decreases as defined by the output function. The result of this model is that of consumer collusion; it is in each consumer's best interest to increase the volume of purchases for the offer by the business. This yields lower prices for the individual, incentivizing each consumer to advertise for the business making the offer.

主权项

1. A system for perpetually decreasing group pricing comprising:
an interpolation module configured to receive a set of data points comprising price and volume pairings and configured to output a continuous interpolation function to a determine a price to volume relationship, said price and volume pairings further comprising a maximum point, minimum point, and tipping point; a purchase tracking module configured to receive a list of purchases and purchase data during an active timeframe, configured to calculate a current purchase count, a current purchase price, and a future interpolated price, and configured to store the tipping point buyer whose purchase reduces the current purchase price to the tipping point; a transaction module configured to calculate the final purchase price for each buyer as the current purchase price at the expiration of said active timeframe and configured to execute all transactions so long as the final purchase price is less than or equal to said tipping point; and an interface module configured to display said current purchase count, said current purchase price, said future interpolated price, and said tipping point buyer; wherein a seller will input said data points and receive a continuous interpolation function which interpolates the pricing information for an entire range of customer volumes, and wherein consumers will agree to a purchase offer whose price will decrease as defined by said continuous interpolation function.
