Drawing-based electronic payment system and method using the internet {Method and system for an electronic approval for a drawing via the internet}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawing-centric electronic payment system including a document on an Internet-based web. More particularly, the present invention relates to a document file that receives path information included in a drawing file, stores it in a database, and stores information in a database. In addition, by performing electronic payment of design information that changes continuously according to the progress of work, drawing-based electronic payment system can be built at a low cost and shortening the settlement time due to systematic computerization of design work. An electronic payment system and a method thereof are provided.

In general, a large number of drawings for the manufacture and construction of products are produced in a number of industries including machinery, architecture, and civil engineering. Approval of the drawings is made.

Until the process of approval of the design drawing is made, meetings related to design-related work at the time of drawing production or on-site must be carried out continuously and the payment work must be extended according to the result of the meeting. It is pointed out that there is a loss of working time for payment and an inefficient and complicated procedure for simple payment because it needs to be printed and moved to a long distance for direct review.

In order to solve these problems, each company has established an electronic payment system using a groupware system using its own intranet or network, and is trying to perform a fast and efficient payment, but in the case of SMEs, expensive software and solutions for building an electronic payment system are required. It is difficult to bear the development cost, and there is a drawback of having to rely on the usual manual payment method.

In addition, large enterprises have their own intranet and some electronic payments are performed, but they are not limited to the limited use of users in the groupware, and the client must always run specific application software until the payment is approved. There are disadvantages.

Such a conventional electronic payment system can only be used as a means of sharing information in a groupware concept consisting of simple server sharing despite the construction of a system by expensive software and long-term solution development. There is a problem that only a simple message delivery function is performed.

In addition, the electronic payment system of the conventional groupware concept is generally limited to a document file consisting of texts transmitted to receive a payment, so that the size of the transmitted file must be small. It is pointed out that it is impossible to perform electronic approval of the network due to overload of the network.

Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages and problems in the conventional electronic payment system, and when a user designates a drawing file created using a drawing creation program, such as AutoCAD, etc. When the information and the path information of the corresponding file are stored in the database and the payment recipient receives the path information of the database, input the coordinate information of the payment file to index the file in the database and link the text information including the graphic information. In addition, the path link information of the designated file is stored on the client server, and drawing information is automatically extracted according to the path link saved by the approval of the applicator so that the electronic approval of the design drawing is performed. Reduction and repayment of prepayment time SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a drawing-based electronic payment system and method using the Internet, which enables instant electronic payment of design information that is continuously changing.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to display a payment drawing through a dedicated viewer on the web over the Internet by processing the path link of the file stored in the client server to the drawing file stored in the client server It is possible to create a separate document including marking of the modified part using input means or comment of the approval on the drawing made and outputted, and material information (BOM: Bill Of Material) and quotation information based on the layout information of the drawing file An object of the present invention is to provide a drawing-oriented electronic payment system and method using the Internet, which can be automatically calculated and provided.
