Abstract

A real-time price management system is provided which includes a barcode, a computer system, an input device, and a display device. The barcode includes an initial price, a terminal price, a production date, and an expiration date. The computer system forms a price-time equation of merchandise by the barcode, wherein the price-time equation is defined by the initial price, the terminal price, the production date, and the expiration date. The input device scans the barcode and transfers it with a purchase date of the merchandise to the computer system, and then the computer system inputs the purchase date into the price-time equation to obtain a real-time price corresponding to the purchase date. The computer system connects to the display device and shows the real-time price on the display device.
