Referring to FIG. 3, the real-time information backup processor 12 of the information retrieval / registration server is connected to a number of Internet used car shopping mall servers at a predetermined time interval (for example, 5 seconds intervals) (S110) and used cars. Query the database of the shopping mall servers (S120). Here, the web page of the shopping mall server may be searched instead of the method of directly searching the database of the shopping mall servers. The inquired information (data) is compared with the already retrieved data to grasp newly registered information, and recognizes it as new information (S130). The new information obtained by completing these tasks in the shopping mall servers are collected and compared again for the same information (S140). Here, the new information obtained from the shopping mall servers may not be collected, and new information obtained by the shopping mall servers may be compared with the contents stored in the integrated database to check whether there is duplicate information in the integrated database. If there is no duplicate information (S150), the new information is immediately stored in the integrated database (180), and if there is duplicate information (S150), the duplicated information leaves only one information and deletes the remaining information. (S160). When the deletion is completed (S170), the remaining new used car for sale / purchase information is stored in the integrated database 16 (S180). When the pre-programmed time is reached (S190), the operation of accessing the used car shopping mall server is repeated (S110). For example, assuming that the programmed search interval is 5 seconds and that the five used car shopping mall servers 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, and 40e are connected to each other, the information search / registration server first. 10 is connected to the A to E used car shopping mall server (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e) at the same time or sequentially to the database (42a, 42b, 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e) 42c, 42d, and 42e) are read and compared with the contents of the database of each shopping mall server read 5 seconds ago. If there is anything different from the information 5 seconds ago (eg Hong Gil-dong, Sonata, October 1999), it is recognized as new information. Then, the information recognized from the five shopping mall servers are collected and compared again. 'Hong Gil-dong, Sonata, October 1999' If used car sales were recognized as new information by A, B, and C mall servers, only one piece of information (e.g., information recognized by A mall server) was recognized from B and C. After the information is deleted, only one new information is stored in the integrated database 16. Then, after 5 seconds, connect and search again from the beginning.

Referring to FIG. 4, user-specified information is input using a communication network 50 and other application programs such as a web browser provided by the information search / registration server 10 (S210). Custom information includes search criteria including 'used car model', 'manufacturer', 'model', 'type of transmission', 'registration date', information to select whether to refresh automatically or manually. Refresh information, including refresh time intervals. When such user-specified information is input, the information search processor 14 of the information search / registration server 10 inquires the information corresponding to the user-specified information in the integrated database 16 (S220), and the search result is communicated with the communication unit and the communication network. Transfer to the user computer 60 through (S230). After the transmission is finished, it is determined whether the time has reached the refresh time interval (S240). If the time has elapsed, the integrated database 16 is searched again (S230), and if it is not reached, it is determined whether an end command is received (S250). Therefore, the search and transmission are automatically repeated until the user inputs an end command. You can refresh this automatically, but you can also refresh manually.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a web environment in which a user accesses an information search / registration server 10 using a web browser and searches a web for sale (used car sale / purchase information stored in real time from an Internet shopping mall server). As shown in FIG. 5, a user may directly select a 'vehicle', a 'manufacturer', or the like, and press the 'search condition selection button' to move to the screen of FIG. 6 and select a search condition stored in advance. In addition, if the user clicks the 'Search condition registration shortcut' button in FIG. 6, the user moves to the screen of FIG. 7 and the user is interested in the 'search title', 'registration date', 'manufacturer', 'year' and 'exhaust volume'. You can save the search criteria for used cars. The saved search conditions are selected in the screen of FIG. 6, and the user does not need to click the search button repeatedly, and automatically clicks the 'refresh' and sets the desired time interval in the refresh interval in seconds and minutes. If the unit or time unit is input, the information retrieval / registration server 10 is repeatedly updated at a predetermined refresh interval time unit, and then provided on the screen shown in FIG.

8 to 10 illustrate an example of a screen on which a user inputs the above-described user specification information using the wireless communication terminals 62 and 64. Referring to FIG. 8, the user is an initial screen provided through the PDA communication unit 32 from the user search / registration server 10. If you click on 'web for sale', you can search for used car sales / purchase information that is updated in real time from various shopping mall servers, and 'members for sale' provides an environment to search for used car information among users. 9 is a screen for inputting a search condition on a PDA. User can input and store used car information such as 'search title', 'manufacturer', 'car model', 'model', 'region', 'mileage' and recall it for use. FIG. 10 is a screen for searching a web listing by importing an input search condition, and may select 'manual search' and 'automatic search'. If you select 'Auto Search', the screen will be displayed to input the auto refresh time interval and you can enter the desired auto search interval. For reference, the search condition title input in FIG. 10 is 'search 3-pda' and used car sale information meeting the search condition is displayed below.

As such, by using the wireless communication terminals 62 and 64 and the personal computer 66, new or registered information registered in many used car shopping malls, automatically or manually, can be retrieved in a real-time office or on-the-go. It saves you the trouble of accessing many used car shopping mall servers and searching. In addition, you can save the used car information of interest as a search condition, call it whenever necessary, and use the auto refresh function to real-time new used car sales / purchase information registered in many internet shopping mall servers with a single click in real time. There is an advantage available.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of registering information input by a user to various Internet shopping mall servers. Used information owned by the user can be entered directly into the integrated database, or can be simultaneously registered in a database of numerous Internet shopping mall servers through the integrated database. First, input used car information possessed by the user, select Internet shopping malls to be registered, and transmit the information to the information search / registration server through a communication network (S312). In particular, the present invention transmits the reserved vehicle information to the information retrieval / registration server regardless of time through the PDA. Information transmitted through a wireless or wired communication network is automatically registered in the integrated database (S314) and / or the server of the selected used car shopping mall by the mailing processor of the information search / registration server (S316). Therefore, the user does not need to connect to a large number of used car shopping mall servers one by one and input his or her own used car information at that time.

As described above, according to the method and system for real-time search / registration of used car for sale / purchase information, it is possible to conveniently search / register new used car for sale information registered in real time in various internet used car malls in real time, and to search and register time.
