By using the means of transportation, the shipper's services to ship cargo to each region of the world and the shipper's services are determined so that the freight rates are effectively determined between the shippers carrying the cargo. Freight Determination of Freight Using the Internet It relates to an intermediary service system.

Created by APPANET, the military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for efficient information sharing for military purposes, the Internet (INTERNET) is evolving and is currently being deployed worldwide in mail, newsgroups and web services. It is used for various purposes such as communication between computers, collection of information, and public relations means of companies and individuals.

As the Internet is out of the specific purpose of the initial use, as the number of Internet users has increased rapidly in recent years, commercialization through the Internet is rapidly spreading, and various forms of Internet business have been proposed.

The Internet business is largely classified into an information provider (IP: Infomation Provider), which provides a user with a certain amount of information provision costs and provides a large number of desired information, and allows a large number of users to play a game simultaneously over a network. It can be classified into a network service that enables a user and an e-commerce service in which goods and services are traded between a company and an individual or a company and a company online.

Among the Internet services classified as described above, the field of electronic commerce (EC) through computer terminals is the most popular and many new items are being developed one after another.

Until now, the e-commerce model includes shopping malls that sell virtual goods and services in a virtual store online, auctions or reverse auctions where a large number of users participate in real time through the network, Or, the common purchasing method of recruiting a large number of buyers or by buying the buyers themselves to reduce the price of a product and a brokerage service method directly connecting various producers and a large number of consumers in each region are common.

In the conventional electronic commerce service method, the final price of a product to be sold is input to the service provider's database and delivered to the user, or the price set by the user is stored in the database and disclosed to a plurality of users. Therefore, there are disadvantages in that it is difficult to apply to a freight system in which many variables exist, such as the type of transportation, the distance of transportation, or the type of cargo.

In addition, various freight prices are suggested by the transportation company according to the price fluctuation, the fuel cost fluctuation, or the transportation section according to the demand of the transportation means, and it is difficult to set a constant price because the freight fluctuations are large compared to the short time. Since open competition is impossible, the freight rates of cargo cannot be standardized and released.

On the other hand, shippers who want to transport their cargo to their destinations through the shipping company have difficulty in dealing with irregular freight rates immediately, and collect freight information by accessing each carrier's individual database. In fact, difficult problems are being raised.

As described above, in order for a shipper to collect freight information of cargoes scattered to each carrier, a broker or contractor who contacts individual carriers by phone or fax individually or links carriers is usually suitable. Although the freight is presented, it is pointed out that it takes a lot of time and money to sign a freight contract.

In addition, in the case of cargo transportation according to the trilateral trade that is frequently made recently, there is a problem that it is not easy to link the appropriate transportation trading partner or sales target in the domestic region.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages and problems raised in the process of signing a freight rate of a conventional freight, and detailed freight information and freight charges for freight transportation on a web browser displayed on a computer terminal. Enter it together and register it in the service provider's database. The host server of the service provider combines the registered freight information with the shipping company's shipping information and sends it to a specific mail server. The mail server sends the information received from the host server to each transport. The shipper wishing to transport the cargo by email to the company and its representatives will register the cargo information and the expected desired fare in the service provider's database, as well as make real-time contact with multiple carriers as well as the final freight contract. Whether or not the A freight brokerage services to determine the system of using the Internet to be conducted in private between the linked shippers and transportation companies through which the object of the invention to provide.
