In this case, the carrier faces an incorrect result and loses more resources. To coordinate the pre-reportable and freight commitments add another level to this complex business. Freight Contractor The shipper coordinates the transportation of the goods. For example, if the shipper needs to ship = from Chicago to Tokyo, the freighter, the carrier, etc. negotiate and/or coordinate to arrange the shipper to ship = goods. Therefore, the freight forwarder provides the shipper with an alternative to transporting the goods. Although the freight carrier is only a special carrier-worthy service, it also produces inefficiency: the second shipment provides the bias: the service cost for the returnee is the second shipment by the shipper. A bias leads to another-inefficient situation. Goods are private. Therefore, the abandonment of other carriers is based on the specificity of J: Second, because of the complexity of the shipping business, the shipper and the freighter are two-way: and the specific carrier has to contract, so the j& Carrier. For example, in a shipper's change, it tends to be biased towards moving the item from Detroit to 127716.doc 200841266 4Pokan, which can be used to deliver goods directly to Seattle. Carrier consultation. It is necessary for the second carrier to complete the transportation from Seattle to Spokane, so an additional "trip" is required to "carry the goods" but if the shipper is not biased towards such contracting Person, it is possible to ship the goods directly to 4 waves by using a non-contracted carrier. As a result, shippers or freight forwarders may be inefficient due to the lack of access to all available resources. Γ c .y Since shippers or cargo contractors generally use various carriers to transport goods, it is also costly to track and inquire about goods across different carriers. Since the shipper or the cargo agent coordinates the cargo transportation with multiple carriers, it is necessary to know how to track and inquire about the goods based on the platform of the particular carrier. Since the shipper may have hundreds of containers shipped by many different carriers at any given time and want to know the status of the shipment and the related poor news, both the shipper and the carrier have invested a lot of resources to track and inquire. Container. It is not uncommon for a carrier to use an entire working group to dispose of information from the shipper about the location of the cargo. Required = Allow 4 Shippers to track composite systems from individual carrier shipments. It is also necessary to track down systems that are shipped across one of several carriers. In recent years, developers have used the Internet to create virtual markets, where virtual markets bring buyers and sellers together, negotiate and give companies and their suppliers the ability to easily share information. Some attempts have been made to use the Internet to reduce the cost of shippers. - Taste (4) To give the carrier the release: the rate of announcements and discount information on land, sea and air cargo ships. Internet, job = evaluation price. In addition - attempts to use the transporter to receive a number of entities involved in the transport of goods to receive 127716.doc 200841266. These systems only identify and select carriers for cost = no more identification. This does not address the issue of having to use multiple platforms to submit this booking request to a different carrier. This also does not allow for easy exchange of goods between carriers for the use of multiple carriers for a single split. After the carrier takes the 'goods warehousing, f-transportation, customs commission and transaction funds, the complexity of a very complex business is ^, , ', and ^, therefore, there is one of the things used to dispose of goods / melons The need for a highly efficient system. Tian: The method used to produce σσ shipments can be cumbersome and inefficient. Case = transporter - general request for freight (4) person assistance, t transport contractor to coordinate the transportation of goods. For example, the freight contractor negotiates and/or coordinates the carrier to arrange the shipment on behalf of the carrier. This: can result in inefficiency and increase the shipper's shipping costs, as the cost of service for these cargo consignors is paid by the shipper. ϋ or, the shipper may contact the # carrier directly: the shipper deals with a number of different carriers, each with /, his own needs, billing system, characteristics, etc. Multiple carriers are often required because different carriers often have different services, such as the size or volume of the shipment, the origin, the rate, and the undue cost. Awkward land 4. This may also result in inefficiency. In addition, since the shipper must contact each carrier individually, it may be difficult to contact or ship to the shipper, especially if 1 is not a division. For example, a refrigerated container provider may want to contact a shipper who is interested in the rotten, and the truck service provider may want to contact the shipper who needs to know and deliver the service. On the contrary, the shipper must be alone. 127716.doc 200841266 Site search for money. Therefore, it is necessary to provide inefficiency for the present and the Thai side. Satisfy a variety of carriers through a common system and find a carrier that meets their various needs to provide a common system to implement all transactions, work, and systems. In addition, it is necessary to provide an advertisement to the shipper in the same system, in which the _, , and two people are satisfied to meet the shipment _ or how long...Beiyuan is granted-consignment [invention content] various needs of mussels .

Moreover, while the specific embodiments are described in the context of a single-system, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the described functionality can be implemented across multiple systems. In addition, the website can be mirrored to additional systems in the network, and if desired, one or more management systems or other computer resources can be used to facilitate various functions. The computer program in the system includes a suitable screen routine for generating a set of screens that collectively include a user interface for the website. Referring to Figure ib, the common carrier system ι〇2 is illustrated in more detail. The co-carrier system includes, by way of example and not limitation, servers 1 to 4 & Server 104a includes an email server 105 that can be used to receive and transmit data via email. The server 104a also includes a server 1-6 for receiving and transmitting data over the internet. The server 1 includes a server 107 as a communication bridge between the server 108 and the servers 1〇5 and 1〇6. The server 107 polls the servers 1〇5 and 1〇6 for new messages, decapsulates the messages and transmits them to the server 1〇8. For the outgoing rim from server 107, server i 〇 8 adds the receiver address and triggers the transmission of this message. When the server 107 fails to process an EDI message, an email will be sent to a predefined packet email address. Server i 〇8 processes the EDI message upon verification of the data and converts the data into a common carrier system layout format upon a call to server 107. For the outgoing EDI message, the server 108 receives the call from the server and the server! The outgoing EDI message is fed to the server 108 in the common carrier system layout format. The feeder 104b includes servers 109 and 11A. Servers 1〇9 convert the common 127716.doc -12- 200841266 carrier system layout and load it into a set of database tables, or vice versa. The servo 109 also polls the server 丨〇8 for any new message, opens a connection with one of the shell libraries and fills in the data corresponding to the Em message type (3〇1 3 1 5 and the like shown in FIG. 13). Library table. For the exit message, the server 109 scans the database table populated by an EDI processor and converts the chorus message and then triggers the server (10) to process the common carrier layout format. Referring to the server 110, the EDI processor processes the coffee message stored in the data table by 109. The server f 110 scans the header of the database table for the flag, for example, the submitted first-unprocessed message. The state is then changed from committed to processed in the database 111, and if successful, the state is then changed to completion. This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for buyers and sellers of domestic and/or international transportation services associated with shipment of goods. The users and carriers may be connected to the system by a dial-up modem to communicate with the Internet and disconnected or offline from the system accordingly. For example, the enabler can use a dial-up modem and submit a reservation request to a carrier over the Internet and then disconnect from the Internet. After the user disconnects and is currently offline, the co-carrier system can submit the reservation request to the carrier when the user is offline and receive confirmation of the reservation request from the carrier. In another embodiment, the co-carrier 102 can process the message while the user is still connected to the Internet. This allows the availability to be determined for various carriers or after the co-carrier system 102 makes an appointment to the carriers: the user is notified. The system and method provide the shipper with the purchase of a full cargo 127716.doc _ 200841266 and choose to be supported by the participating carrier.兮攸仏 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆 盆兮糸^ a ^ ^ m x 4 System and method enable the user to submit a reservation request and/or track and query the goods by using a single common carrier system and interface/night carrier. This system and method can be used to provide event notifications. In general, 'when the shipper wants to ship the goods, the shipper submits to the one or more carriers - the booking request' the carrier makes the request by accepting, rejecting or changing the booking request. Respond. A reservation indicates an intent of a shipper to transport a certain amount of goods from a single origin to a single I. The type A of the goods can be changed. It can be a mixture of dangerous goods and non-dangerous goods. It may have refrigeration and similar needs. Therefore, different container types may be required. To accommodate different cargo characteristics, a reservation can contain one or more booking columns. This request can be made by using a variety of different programs. The user 101 can transmit an email message to the common carrier system 1〇2, which processes the email and responds. Alternatively, the user 1.1 can post information to one of the co-carriers 102. Alternatively, the user 1 may send information in the form of an XML or EDI data set for processing by the common carrier system 102. It will be appreciated that the request can be forwarded to the common carrier system 102 using a number of different transmission schemes. The information received by the co-carrier system 102 can then forward the requests to various carriers 103. The co-carrier, 糸 2 可能 2, may blindly forward the request to all carriers 103 to ascertain which carrier responded. Alternatively, the common 127716.doc -14· 200841266 carrier system may filter the subscription request from the user 101 to minimize the number of carriers 103 receiving the request. In addition, the co-carrier system 103 may have a routing list as specified by the user to allow for the ordering of the classes used to poll the carrier for subscription availability. The transfer between the co-carrier system 102 and the carriers 1-3 can also take the form used by the user. Alternatively, the co-carrier system 103 can convert the user's request from a form or format to one or the form or format understood by the carrier 103. If desired, the co-carrier system 103 can add information or reduce the leanness as needed for a carrier. For example, some carriers may use one type of unit while others use another type of unit. The co-carrier system 1〇3 then converts the unit provided by the user for submission to the carrier. Moreover, if the goods are transported in one way rather than another, the user may have a specific need (if it is shipped in a container ship, it needs to be refrigerated and if it is shipped by truck or fire Q, it does not need to be refrigerated). If so, the co-carrier system 丨〇3 can eliminate or modify the information sent to each carrier 1-3 to meet the needs of each carrier's platform and/or reservation system. A booking column can include a single container type, a single dangerous goods indicator, a single refrigeration, and a single item description. When the common carrier system receives the first carrier reservation confirmation message (eg, confirmation from carrier 1〇3a), the system ι〇2 may be at the request of the shipper (any user by using the terminal 1〇 Automatically generating a reservation cancellation and submitting it to another carrier 1 amp 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Alternatively, the reservation request from the co-carrier system 可以 2 may request information from the carrier 103 as to which carrier is available to handle the proposed reservation. Responses from these carriers 103 provide availability, information on shipment time and other information to the common carrier system. In one example, an interested party (generally the shipper or freight forwarder) enters into a draft booking with a high-level, detailed description of the goods that need to be shipped. By using the information entered at the time of booking, the user of the system can also issue a selection to one or more carriers 103&1 to 36 via the co-carrier system 102 via the terminals l〇la to l〇le. Road request. One or more carriers 103a through 103e respond with detailed routing information. The shipper may request the carrier 丨03&3 to submit the routing information based on the information (receiving place, place of delivery, etc.) included in the reservation. The common carrier system 102 enables a user to submit a reservation (via a terminal machine 101a to l〇le or by other known device such as an action pDA) whether or not a routing request is used, and may The reservation is submitted to one or more carriers 103a through l3e. The actual interface between the user 101 and the plurality of carriers 103 to handle the routing request can be determined by the technical capabilities of the carrier -03. The complex carrier 103 can provide direct online responses through its internal systems. Other carriers 103 can use the service mode interface to store available routings. At the very least, all carriers can respond to the routing request by using the common carrier system and charging 102. A confirmation of the separation of each user can also be made (via email, instant messaging, and the like). 127716.doc -16- 200841266 If the booking party chooses to specify this (for example, by checking one of the booking blocks on the booking screen or the like), it can automatically choose to respond to it by a valid response. The first carrier that responded to the routing request may submit the booking to the carrier. Alternatively, the booking party can manually select the carrier and submit the booking. It is now up to the carrier to determine whether actual cargo transportation can occur (depending on vessel capacity, equipment availability, etc.) and to confirm the booking, reject the booking or make a counter-proposal. Referring to Figure 卜, after the carrier 103a confirms the reservation, the user uses the common carrier system 102 to transmit shipping instructions by interacting with the common carrier interface.

This is obtained by previously storing the data in the form of a template or previous reservation as described above. promote. Tracking and Querying This embodiment enables the user to track and query only by identifying the container, as opposed to tracking and checking by simultaneously identifying the carrier and the container. That is, the user does not need to identify which carrier is transporting his or her container. Thus, the common carrier system enables the user to track and query containers across multiple carriers (the common carrier system). The δHai Common Carrier System promotes tracking and querying information within the limits of a carrier's responsibilities. Tracking the boundaries of a shipment directly reflects the relevant route and the service model that supports the shipment of the cabinet. Via the terminal 1 1 1 1 to 1 01 e shown in Figure 1, the applicable co-carrier system user has the ability to view the execution status of the shipment in an on-demand manner. The booking activity plan defines the expected method by which the carrier will ship a container from its origin to its final destination in time 127716.doc -28 - 200841266. This provides a baseline for determining whether an event that should have occurred has not yet occurred. The 5 shipper system 102 prompts the parties for unacknowledged. The carriers provide incident reports against milestones included in the booking activity plan. The system operates by using standard event codes and standard event messages. In other words, carrier 103 can update the common carrier system 102 by using common reporting information. Alternatively, the co-carrier system 1〇2 may receive tracking information from each carrier in a local reporting format for each carrier. The hill, the carrier, then draws the required information from the carrier's tracking information and formats it into an extension that can be used for the user's ι〇ι° and 'you can also use the _ intermediate format. The common carrier system 102 internally stores tracking information from each carrier. The system can record when (four) event messages (at local time) are monitored by the current carrier performance. In order to use the transfer (4) function, the system requests to make a reservation to a co-carrier registered by using the common carrier system as outlined above. The carrier confirms the booking request and submits a booking activity plan for one of the δ海前度δ丁. A single booking support—a single scheduled event plan. The reservation can consist of multiple container shipments. The booking activity plan can be used to support tracking and querying information at the pivot level. The booking activity plan can provide greater information than the service model, as each major trip can be broken down into actual transport modes, transit locations and intermediate arrival and exit periods/times. Once the carrier submits the booking activity plan, it can track and inquire about the container. The carrier submits the tracking and query events to the common carrier system via EDI or via a common carrier system using the 127716.doc -29. 200841266 interface. The carrier can continue to use its own coding conventions when submitting events by using an EDI converter. The EDI converter converts the carrier event code and message format into a common carrier system neutral format. The co-carrier system can record when a shipment has departed and arrived at each location and recorded business procedures or when inconsistencies occurred. The common carrier system can also record the date and time when the common carrier system received the tracking and query events. The date and time recorded by the system a is consistent with the date and time of the event (eg, from GMT to the shipper's local time, the local time of the destination, the locality of the place of delivery) Time and similar). That is, the date and time can be adjusted to match the time zone of the user or other parties. The user uses the tracking and query function by using the common carrier system to track and query the user interface. This allows the user to select criteria that can be used to compare searches. The user has the ability to customize how to display the search results. The user has the ability to customize the display results on a different container basis or on a ''batch processing' container basis. The co-carrier system can perform “batch processing” on container records. When the co-carrier system returns tracking and query information on the 'Batch Processing' record, the user has the ability to drill down to the details of the container level and drill back. In addition, the user has the ability At a glance, it is determined what the container is related to the activity plan and it can be clearly seen about which events have been successfully completed and which events have not been successfully completed. Referring to Figures 4a and 12a to 12c, by clicking (for example) the tracking and tracking Check 127716.doc -30 - 200841266 Γ 图标 Query icon 436, the user enables tracking and query search as shown in Figure 12a. 5 Hai users enter specific container data in this field 1 2 〇1 And by using the pull-down menu 1 202 'the user identifies the data type. The data type can be any of the types: bill of lading number; container number; reservation number; carrier reservation number; customer reference number Shipper / consignee number; date range for the place of receipt; first loading port; most, "unloading port and parent payment place; receiving/delivery location; loading/unloading place Carrier, vessels and voyage number; the current container activity / status and similar persons. The common carrier interface displays a search result screen as shown in FIG. 12b, and the user can view a reservation summary by, for example, clicking on the "Details" 1203 word, or by Link the user to the container plan shown in Figure 12c, and click on the button to track the containers. In addition, the user has the option to click "Custom" Luding" button 1205 comes from the option to book this reservation. Event notifications can be submitted to designated users using any of the following techniques: then, email, co-carrier interface box, and the like.

The system of the carrier or the common carrier system is illustrated in FIG. 13 to illustrate the flow of information transmitted and received by the common carrier system. All EDI formats can be used to receive EDI. The carrier can, for example, transmit a 301 file message type to confirm the container reservation. The carrier may, for example, transmit a file type 3 1 5 status event to the common carrier system to update the container status. An event can be (for example and not limited to) any shipment from the shipper to the ocean journey, through customs clearance to final delivery. The carrier can transmit a range of different messages. Finally, the co-carrier system supports, but is not limited to, the use of EDI, XMI, email, and the like to transmit the received messages to such users. Search Advertising and Reservation System for Supporting Advertisements According to this embodiment of the invention, an advertising system can be used in combination with a system for booking a carrier to ship a container. Or 127716.doc -33 - 200841266 - the system may first provide an advertisement with or without an advertisement for the carrier without departing from the scope of the invention. Preferably, various types of advertising options are provided to the advertisement based on the desired exposure and target audience: For example, such advertisements may be limited to a particular geographic area, such as a particular regional group, such as a country town. Or, by way of non-limiting example, the advertisement may be limited by the type of viewer (e.g., shipper, contractor, etc.). Such restrictions may be based on other criteria, such as the type of goods being shipped, the date of shipment or delivery, or the date of the week or by the advertiser. Alternatively, such advertisements may be used by all users of the system without limitation to any particular limitation. According to the embodiment of the present invention, selecting the viewer 1 from the registered shippers to limit the target audience may be based on the shipper = point, shipping (four) place or destination, etc. The goal reduction is to provide a customized advertisement for a specific target audience by providing a system that can filter the shipper in this manner. Preferably, the system is based on the component on which the (4) is based, after the shipper inputs the origin, the destination information, the date of shipment, etc., and displays the customized advertisement on the system to display the target advertisement. Example 2 of the different stages of the search results page, which appears after the shipper searches for one of the carriers according to the shipper's needs: ... the booking page, where = carrier selected - carrier selected and selected (four) Carrier's - shipment into the light schedule; confirmation page; and so on. ^ The person's advertisements may be based on a particular filter selected by the shipper $ ° ' that the shipper may filter the search results based on the day of departure or arrival of the week 127716.doc -34 - 200841266. The shipper can filter the search results by stepping or alternatively by the available carrier. By generating a target audience based on the shipper's search criteria, there are a number of advantages that can be offered to advertisers. For example, the advertised service may be located at the shipper's location, origin or destination, or the service may be specific to a particular type of product, shipping size, urgency, date and time, and the like. Therefore, the advertiser can save money by advertising only to shippers who meet the specified criteria. Another possible advantage is to allow the advertiser to provide advertisements in different languages. For example, the advertisement may be in the language of the shipper or the consignee's location. Moreover, the system preferably allows the shipper to select the language required to implement the search. Based on this selection, an advertisement in the selected language can be published. Alternatively, an advertiser can offer the same ad in a variety of languages. Depending on the language choice, the system can display the ad in the correct language. Alternatively, the system can be adapted to the language settings of the Internet browser. For example, if the preferred language of the browser is Spanish, any of the displayed search fields, results, filters, options, schedules, advertisements, etc., may be provided in Spanish. Conversely, if an advertiser wants to select a global audience without restricting the viewer, the advertisement can be displayed before or after the shipper enters the search information because the information is not needed when deciding who to display the advertisement to. For example, homepages, landing pages, search pages, and more are more appropriate for global advertising than targeted advertising. 127716.doc -35- 200841266 According to the specific implementation of the system, ^ ^ A fi; % ^ ^ , , to decompose the search brother into a list of hundreds of pages that the shipper must traverse. For example, the first page may require an origination and a destination. The second hundred; page may therefore require the shipper to enter the shipping date and the required duration or arrival date. This second page may also display a trailer that directs the delivery of the container or cargo from the originating location and/or to the destination. The third page can then display an advertisement pointing to the service provided during the specified period. 1. The number, shape and size of the advertisement can be changed depending on the type of advertisement and the page displaying the poor voice. A non-limiting example of non-advertising as shown in Fig. 14 includes the fact that one of the top pages of the page has a wide σ 10, which preferably has a generally rectangular shape and its width is substantially the same as that of the page. . A rectangular advertisement 20 can contain a closer height of the disc, / Ρ μ μ μ, 玄 -. ^ another view ratio, and the preferred one occupies one corner of the page. The Skyscraper-type skin can be smashed to have a twist that is substantially larger than the width, and the preferred one occupies one side of the page. ^, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the type of advertisement that can be accepted may be limited to, for example, file types, such as jpg, 昼Si, or anime (h). Video ads, text ads = ads provided by advertising service providers (such as G〇〇gleTM): the restrictions on such ads can also be based on size files (size me/), For non-limiting examples, the $advertisement may be limited to no more than 3 seconds. Alternatively, the content may be limited or later, for example, the service provider considers it to be misleading or inappropriate. There may be other requirements for advertising, such as borders, minimum size, 127716.doc • 36- 200841266. For the non-limited (4) example, this specialization may be required: open on fork to click - new Windows, or the advertisement must be advertised for a specific flash plugin (flashplug_in), etc. 2: Other H-supplement search results that can be traced through the Quick View window or the preferred system Results available One or more options, such as information about the carrier. For the non-limited (4) example, the information button can be provided for each carrier in the search result. Clicking on the information by clicking on the mouse If you choose this information button in the form of a pot, you can provide a better system for the carrier, indicating that you are advertising for one of the selected carriers that are providing the target. Better, can track The advertisement 'supplied to provide valuable market information to the carrier. The system preferably records the location from which the request for the message originated, the details of the search that has been executed, etc. Therefore, the carrier The person can get a database of entities that click on the carrier for more information, and
