It is equally used herein below.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described in detail. However, these drawings are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 is a system configuration diagram of one embodiment in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system according to the present invention is similar to the server 10 and any one or two or more of a network 30, an internet network, an intranet, a telephone network, a satellite communication network, or a mobile network. Network 40).

The server 10 is a member DB (11), article DB (12), point DB (13), shopping module (15), payment module (16), lottery module (17), winning notice module (18), It consists of a point mounting module 19, a central processing unit (not shown) on which the plurality of modules are mounted, and a connection device (not shown) for connecting the server 10 to the network 30. .
