Provide. In this way, the general member who applied for the bidding will be able to easily know the bidding result without checking his bidding progress through the Internet at all times.

On the other hand, if the general member selects the immediate subscription (general subscription), the immediate subscription application management module 460 is linked to the product management module 450, the screen of the communication service product information corresponding to the communication service item selected by the general member Will be displayed on the screen.

The product information to be displayed here includes the monthly fee, contract details, and gift offering information.

Such product information is displayed by communication service products provided by all communication service companies registered as corporate members, so that general members can easily select communication service products. The general member checks the displayed product information, selects a communication service product suitable for him, and the control module 420 interworks with the customer information management module 430 when the communication service product for immediate subscription is selected. It is a service provider system that provides service products and provides general member information so that selected products can be immediately subscribed. When the subscription is made, the subscription result information is displayed on the screen so that the general member can check whether the communication service product he subscribes to is correct.

On the other hand, when the service provider changes the information of the communication service product provided by the service provider system 310, the web server 400 is requested to change the information, and control is completed when basic verification procedures such as authentication is completed. In the module 420, the change information of the communication service product is newly registered in association with the customer information management module 430 and the product management module 450, and the information of the previous registered product is updated.

3 is a flowchart showing a "communication service product subscription method" according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the Internet bidding routine of Figure 3, Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an instant subscription (general subscription) routine.

As shown in the drawing, when access occurs to a communication service subscription site through a communication network, the target person is checked, and if the confirmed target person is a subscriber, the general member registration procedure is guided and then a general member registration request is generated.

In the "communication service product subscription method" according to the present invention, the control module 420 checks whether a connection occurs in step S101. If there is no connection, the control module 420 moves to step S103 to display the currently displayed main page. Keep the display.

On the other hand, if the connection has occurred, go to step S105 to check the membership, and if the result of the check is a member (general member or corporate member), go to step S107 to log in. After logging in, the main screen is displayed, and when the corporate member requests the product information change as in step S109, the process moves to step S113 and the product information in conjunction with the product management module 450 (communication service name, monthly fee, Amendments, gifts, etc.).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the membership of step S105 is a non-member, the flow advances to step S115 to determine whether the connection target is a subscriber.
