According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention comprises a system including a client computer, a web server, an info trader, an info finder, and an internet network. The client computer refers to any device such as a computer, a PDA, etc., which has a built-in web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, and can exchange information with the web server by accessing the Internet network through a wireless communication method. The web server refers to any device that communicates with each other, such as transmitting a request made by the client computer through the Internet through the HTTP protocol.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail the present invention.

1 is a comparison of the existing community system and the community system of the present invention. As can be seen from the left side, in the website using the existing community system, the user had to take necessary information such as entering and reading each bulletin board (health, employment, etc.) for each subject. Therefore, users feel difficulty and discomfort in community activities, and in particular, when the user's experience is low, there is inconvenience in that they cannot easily find the information they want.

3 is a flowchart of a system for providing customized information and a community for each user's interests on the Internet. After logging in (10) to the member information modification (21) or during the membership registration (20) leave a field to check the user's interests. That is, only questions belonging to the interests selected here are forwarded to that user. Selecting a large category as an implementation of this can bring up a pop-up screen of sub-categories about it, allowing you to select your interests more precisely. At the end of this process, a page showing the sent question and the received answer 30 is provided by default. This page lists the questions the user has sent through the InfoTrader so far, which can be sorted and sorted according to the sorting method. It also shows the question sent and the number of responses received. It can also be implemented by displaying the total number of answers and the number of unread answers. If you select a question from this page, you can go to the Read Question (40) page to read the question. This page lists the content of the question and the answers to it, and if you select an answer, you can go to the Read Answers (41) page to read the answers.
