The present invention relates to a financial commodity quotation software, and more particularly to a financial commodity quotation server and a system and method thereof for supporting multi-user platform information promotion.

Referring to Figure 1, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the financial commodity quotation system. According to the current financial quotation system, the roles involved in the simplified structure are divided into three types: quotation information source provider 10, financial information manufacturer 12, and client terminal 14. Upstream quotation information source providers are more than 10 domestic and foreign exchanges, such as the stock exchange (Taiwan Stock Exchange), cabinet buying center (securities counter trading center), Chicago Board of Trade, Singapore Futures Exchange, etc. It provides real-time and delay financial products to financial information vendors12. The financial information manufacturer 12 adds a value-added service to the client 14 after the value-added value. Among them, the added value can be to integrate multiple sources of quotation information or to develop a number of client-side software for different devices (such as 20, 22, 24, 26 shown). The device operated by the user terminal 14 by the user 28 can be: a push-button mobile device 20, such as a mobile device capable of executing a Java program and having a button, a touch-type mobile device 22, such as: iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, stock machine...

It is known from Figures 2 and 3 that there is no module in the prior art that is responsible for handling the transmission of a large number of messages to a specific object. If the message is transmitted, it can only be transmitted to all users in a broadcast manner. , not a specific object. If you want to send a message to a specific object, the prior art must be matched with other external tools, such as a newsletter.

The SMS (SMS) is the most common tool used to deliver text messages on mobile phones today. It can simultaneously transmit messages to a large number of specific objects. For example, a broker or a business operator can send investment advice to all members via SMS. However, the SMS must be transmitted through the system and equipment of the Mobile Carrier, so it must pay a certain transmission cost to the carrier.

In summary, the financial product quotation system does not have the function of transmitting a large amount of information to a specific object. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a financial product quotation system that can meet the needs of brokers, investment providers or other senders, and can reduce the cost of sending messages, and can support various platforms on the client side for use by message senders.

In view of this, the present invention provides a financial product offer server that supports multi-user platform message push, and a system and method thereof. Allows the sender to send messages directly to specific objects in the quotation system without having to send messages via external newsletters.
