Problem Statement of an Online Book Store:

-The Pearl River Book Company is developing an online book store system through which its customers can buy books and sell their used books.

Public users are those who are not registered customers of the system.

-Public users or registered customers can search books by entering keywords, which may appear in the title, author or book description.

-The system displays a list of books that matches the keywords.

-Each entry of the book list consists of the book title, author(s), price for a new copy and price range for used copies.

- The user can select a book from the list to display more detailed information about it (availability, price for new copy, prices for used copies, table of contents, author, ISBN).

-The user can add a copy of the book (either new or old) to the shopping cart.

-The user can then continue to search for another book.

-When the user finishes searching, the user can checkout the books in the shopping cart.

-The system asks the user to login to his/her account by entering the user's email address and the account password.

-If the user has not registered yet, the user can register for a new customer account at that point.

The user enters the email address, home address and password.

The system verifies that the email address has not been used by an existing customer before confirming the creation of the new customer account through an email message.

The system then asks the user to select the shipping option (express, priority or ordinary). Different shipping options have different prices.

The user can then select the payment method (credit card or the user account of the book store). If the user selects payment by credit card, the user enters the card number, type and expiry date. The system then sends the credit card information and the amount charged to the external payment gateway.

The amount is calculated by adding the prices of the selected books and the selected shipping option. If the credit card transaction is approved, the external payment gateway sends back an approval code. Otherwise, the systems will ask the user to reselect the payment method and re-enter the payment information. If the user selects payment by his/her account with a sufficient balance, the system charges the amount to the customer account. Otherwise, the system asks the user to re-reselect the payment method.

Upon completion of payment, the system arranges delivery of the ordered books. An external shipping agent is responsible for the delivery of the ordered books. If an order involves new books, the system sends a shipping request to notify the shipping agent to collect the books from the book store. New books in the same order are shipped together.

If a used book has been ordered, the system sends a delivery request to notify the seller of the book and a shipping request to the shipping agent of the book store. The shipping agent collects the book from the seller and delivers the book to the buyer. Used books of the same order from the same seller are shipped together. After the book(s) has/have been delivered to the buyer, the shipping agent sends a shipping completion message to the system. Upon receipt of this message, the system updates the seller's customer account by adding the price of the used book minus the commission charge for the service.

A public user or a registered customer wanting to sell a used book can go through the above process by searching the book and displaying its information. The user can then post a used copy for sale. The system will ask the user to enter the price and the general condition of the used book. Then the system further asks the user to enter the email address and password of his/her customer account for login purposes. If the user does not have a customer account, the user can create a new customer account as described in the previous paragraph.
