Description

Used mobile phone trading system and method via internet {used hand-pnone buying / selling system and method by internet}

The present invention relates to used mobile phone trading on the Internet, and more particularly, to a used mobile phone trading system and method through the Internet.

The Internet includes a large number of computers and computer networks interconnected through communication links.

Interconnected computers exchange information using a variety of services, such as e-mail, gopher, and the World Wide Web.

The WWW service enables a server computer system (i.e., a web server or website) to transmit visual web page information to a remote client computer system.

The remote client system can then display such a web page.

Each resource (computer or webpage) of the WWW can be distinguished by a unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address.

To view a particular web page, the client computer system specifies the URL for that web page in a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request.

Such a request is sent to a web server supporting the web page, which forwards the web page to a client computer system.

The client computer system accepts the web page and displays it using a browser, which is a special purpose application that performs the request and display of the web page.

That is, a URL input unit for inputting a website provided on a browser executed on the client computer system or an address used to display a web page is normally inputted as http://www.acb.com/home/def. .

Here, HTTP is a communication protocol that is applied to transfer hypertext documents handled on the World Wide Web to another place. If you enter a specific URL, HTTP requests a database (eg a website) on the server with the address acb.com.

The server receiving the request transmits a web page having a hierarchical directory structure of home / def to the browser of the client computer system.

Here, a plurality of web pages included in a web site are text files used to create a homepage, which is produced as a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) document.

When the user instructs the browser to display the web page, the browser requests the server computer system to deliver the HTML document defining the web page to the client computer system.

When the requested HTML document is received at the client computer system, the browser displays the web page in the manner defined by the HTML document.

On the other hand, while the quality of products such as mobile phones improves, the preferences change rapidly, and consumers discard used mobile phones and purchase new ones. In some cases, it is effective for the buyer to buy a used cell phone at this time.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, the member who wants to sell registered the overall specifications and prices for the used mobile phone and the member wants to purchase the information about the used mobile phone registered by the buyer directly to the buyer and seller The purpose of the present invention is to provide a used mobile phone trading system and method through the Internet that allows the buyer to objectively obtain used mobile phone information.
