Hereinafter, with reference to the configuration described in Figures 1 to 8 will be described the procedure for the article exchange method using the Internet of the present invention. 8 is a flowchart of a method for exchanging goods using the Internet according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the user accesses the Internet, accesses the homepage 14, and inputs an ID and a password to confirm a member's identity (S10). Next, information on a category, a product name, and the like relating to the exchanged item that one wants to exchange among the items he owns is input (S20). Then, the item to be exchanged is selected by rank and the name of the related item is input (S30).

If the search condition is " estimated value " (S35), the search engine (not shown) performs a search by rank and the estimated value of the exchanged items in the SQL search condition by AND combination. Therefore, the item ranked at the top of the search result has the highest priority and closest estimated value. These search results are made online in real time and list the results in list form (S50).

If the first search condition is not "estimated value" (S35), this means "article name", and the search engine (not shown) AND-combines the search for the item name by the rank of the exchanged article in the SQL search condition. Will be performed. Therefore, the item ranked at the top of the search result has the highest priority and the item name is closest. These search results are made online in real time and list the results in list form (S60).

Accordingly, the user can designate one of the listed exchanged items to view detailed information, and start a specific transaction negotiation (S70). In a specific transaction negotiation, the mutual message 112 may be exchanged, and an agreement point may be sought between the parties by gradually lowering or increasing the additional cash 109. As a result, the server device of the homepage 14 transmits the contact information of the other party when specific matters regarding goods exchange and additional cash are agreed between the parties. In this way, the two parties can conveniently exchange goods by mutual contact or by using a courier service (S80).

If the transaction is broken between the parties, the server device performs a search for the same search condition again after a predetermined time and notifies the result through an e-mail or the like (S90). For example, if the goods have not been exchanged yet, the registered items are searched every day or at intervals such as morning and afternoon to notify the member of the matching result.

Through this Internet service, the operator can charge the membership registration fee of members or a certain percentage of fees for every exchange of goods. In addition, in order to attract a large number of members, the operation of the service is free, and banner advertisements can be attracted to profit.

In addition, when the item to be exchanged is described as "cash," it may cover the function of the auction to sell the item at the highest price, not to exchange the item. In the same vein, when an exchange item is listed as "cash", it can cover the function of reverse auctions that can be purchased at the lowest price. In other words, by dividing "cash" into one category and entering the corresponding amount in "estimated value", the meta swap function including the concept of auction or reverse auction can be performed without modifying or changing the program.

According to the method of exchanging goods using the Internet of the present invention as described above, it is possible to specify the rank of at least one or more of the exchanged goods, so that there is a high possibility that the exchange of goods can be established, and the details of the exchange of the exchanged goods and the exchanged goods It has the advantage of adjusting the transaction conditions. Also, the server device sends the search results about the exchanged goods periodically so that the user can easily acquire the goods information, and the operator adjusts the credit rating in the light of the member's transaction performance. As a result, the reliability and stability of the exchange of goods can be improved.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, it is possible to make various modifications or variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the appended claims will cover such modifications and variations as fall within the spirit of the invention.
