Description of the invention (1) Detailed description (field of invention) The present invention relates to a system and method for work management, and a workflow that must complete many tasks according to a customer's order by using at least one wireless (wire less) device, Financial transactions, and / or provision of materials. (Background of the Invention) The management of work with sequential steps requires great care and effort. A typical job or project includes a sequence of steps, stages, or tasks. At least one of these steps may not be performed until the previous step is completed. The use of automated systems to help complete projects with these requirements generally has geographic restrictions. This restriction means that managers must interact with them at the location where the work management system is set up. What's more, these job management systems require managers to interact with them in fixed locations. This article discusses examples of these shortcomings in the field of building. Although the following description refers to some shortcomings in the prior art with reference to the construction process, that is, the management and supervision of work with sequential steps need to be improved, at least one of the foregoing sequential steps depends on the completion of at least the previous step. The construction and improvement of houses is a purchasing decision related to hundreds of different product categories and thousands of different products and suppliers. In the housing construction and housing improvement industries, the manufacturing and distribution bases of Xing San have caused difficulties for purchasers, including limited choices and information, insufficient knowledge of specific manufacturers' products, and changes in procurement and pricing based on lumber yards and other groups. Depending on the policy, and in obtaining products that support a single job, many sellers of 511019 are required to visit. 5. Inventor (2). Most suppliers make it difficult for buyers to decide which supplier can provide the best product and price, and which product has the best availability, delivery time and support. In addition, no supplier can supply all the materials required by the buyer. Because builders or contractors often look for specific materials, identifying the right supplier is complex and time-consuming. Past technologies have shown inefficiencies in the housing industry, such as information management processes that use invalid rates. Typical local builders rely on rough calculations derived from reviewing floor plans to determine many materials used to build a house, including cement, wood, stone wall (drywa 11), roof, insulation, brick, or other exterior Installation materials, water pipe materials, electrical systems and installations. These estimates are often reviewed by home supply sales agents as a basis for valuing these particular materials. The responsibility of the sales agent is to maximize the benefits for the distributor and not to reduce the cost for the builder, so that the final price that the builder will pay is expected to be necessarily high. Builders set prices for home buyers based on these valuations and start construction when there is no certainty about the materials that are actually needed to build a house or their prices. Only the material supplier knows which materials must be delivered to the site or when each material must arrive at the site. The builder usually spends a considerable amount of time in management to make up for the small amount of material that was originally estimated to be short or to return the material that was originally estimated to be too much. The builder often knows the actual price when the ordered materials are delivered, so that the cost of building materials is likely to exceed the estimated amount, and many of them lead to a reduction or even loss of house sales. This inaccurate material ordering and purchase price has a bad effect on the builder -4- 511019 V. Description of the invention (3) The material orders of the builder and the builder are typically borrowed from internal paper operations (intern al pa pe r-bas; ed processes), these operations include the need to manually prepare purchase orders and manual order tracking, invoicing (bi 11 ing), and statements. These operations are complex, time-consuming and require a lot of office support and on-site Spend a lot of time in confirming the requirements for materials, preparing orders, inspecting delivery :, managing the construction progress of the contractor, and responding to changes in progress and delivery. Paper work makes it difficult for home buyers to obtain the availability, price and delivery of the product, or the estimated cost and estimated total cost of the painting. 0 These inefficiencies can cause delays in the project and purchase at convenient rather than estimated cost. material. In addition, decentralized procurement operations are not conducive to data collection, but Itt: Data collection is required to make full use of the price reductions or other economic benefits of bulk purchases. Restrictions on applying traditional procurement methods, some companies engaged in construction and improvement of houses have developed— · an automated procurement system or an attempt to use an existing system, such as an electronic data interchange system (EDI) or an enterprise purchasing software services. Attempts to streamline (rationalize) the procurement process and the favorable momentum of procurement have been strong, but with limited success. These methods may only provide products from a limited number of suppliers. What's more, these systems may not accommodate the heavy workload of user management. In addition, companies are developing internal solutions, integrating the solutions with other companies' systems, and maintaining compliance with the company's business rules and + / T, Tochigi purchase policies, bearing considerable costs. Most companies engaged in building and rebuilding houses cannot afford to invest in the development of these methods. 0-5- 511019 V. Description of the invention (4) In addition, the other aspect of the previous technology is that temporary loans are for builders A short-term loan to purchase supplies needed to build a house. The temporary loan is typically payable when the permanent mortgage payment is approved. During the construction of the house, the builder needs to seek and obtain the so-called self-loan (1 e 11 der), such as a bank, the amount of draws issued. Temporary loan. The traditional loan process is a recurring process. The lender provides funding to the builder. The builder provides these funds to the supplier to obtain the supplies needed for the construction project. The builder must then use these supplies in the construction of the house. Second, the builder must inform the lender that supplies have been used on the building. The creditor will send an inspector to verify the supplies that have been used in the construction of the building. The inspector must go to the construction site to verify the supplies that have been used for construction, and then inform the lender. Once the lender obtains the confirmation from the inspector, the lender will provide the builder with another check (another loan) as the funds needed for the next phase of housing construction. This cyclic process will continue throughout the construction process. Each step in this configuration process is inefficient and requires a positive action from the demander, such as a borrower5, and this positive action must be accepted by the demanded person, such as a lender. The success of the entire process depends on whether each person accepts and performs his or her duties in a cyclic process. Everyone must communicate by phone or fax. The lender is typically sending inspection requests to the inspector. Traditionally, the inspector had to return to his or her office to obtain inspection requirements. Then, the inspector must go to the construction site to inspect the construction, and then return to his or her office to organize the inspection report and send it to the lender. 511019 V. Description of the invention (5) There will be relevant delays in this process. In addition, there is a problem with accuracy for every transmission by phone or fax. Any errors in these communications will affect, hinder or delay the entire chain of events thereafter. The timely and correct acquisition of information on the condition of the building, the timely and correct delivery of inspection requirements to the inspector, and the timely and correct receipt of inspection reports are issues of historical technology. In particular, the construction and improvement of houses involves purchasing decisions related to hundreds of product categories and thousands of different products and suppliers. In the housing construction and improvement industry, the scattered manufacturing and distribution bases have caused some difficulties for purchasers. These difficulties include limited product selection and information, and the understanding of the products of a particular manufacturing plant is not sufficient depending on the timber yard and other groups. It depends on purchasing and pricing policies, and many sellers are visited in the process of purchasing the products required for a single project. What's more, the large number of suppliers makes it difficult for buyers to decide which supplier can provide the best product and price and which product has the best availability, delivery time and support. In addition, no supplier can provide the full range of products that buyers need. Because builders or contractors often seek for specific materials, identifying the correct supplier is a very complicated and time-consuming task. In addition, in the past, due to inefficient ordering and supply systems, suppliers faced delays and errors in receiving orders from customers. During the entire project of the construction plan, the supplier cannot provide customers, such as the builder, with an immediate and correct description of the materials available to them, such as the builder. Customers are compelled to purchase materials when they are not sure whether the materials are available or the pricing of the materials is accurate. 5. Description of the Invention (6) Materials. The builder often knows the actual price when the ordered materials are delivered, so often the cost of the materials used to construct the house can actually exceed the budgeted amount, which may result in a decrease or even a loss of the profit of the house. Because the builder has a certain degree of inaccuracy in the product order and price, it is impossible for the customer who buys the house to know, which affects the aforementioned cycle. As a result, suppliers have been unable to provide correct and early instructions on the materials that can be supplied to each customer. Product orders performed by builders and contractors are typically processed by internal paper operations, which require manual preparation of purchase orders and manual order tracking, invoicing, and reporting. These operations are cumbersome, time-consuming and require a lot of back office support and spend a lot of time on the site to confirm material requirements, prepare orders, inspect delivery, manage the contractor's work progress, and respond to changes in schedule and delivery. . Paper operations make it difficult for home buyers to obtain the availability, price and delivery of the product, or the estimated need and estimated total cost of the painting. These inefficiencies can lead to delays in engineering and procurement of materials at convenience rather than at estimated costs. In addition, decentralized procurement is not conducive to data collection, but this data collection is required for the full use of bulk procurement to obtain economic benefits of price reductions or scales. Previous approaches have only provided products from a limited number of suppliers. In addition, companies are burdened with considerable costs in developing their own solutions, integrating this solution and approach with other companies' systems, and maintaining compliance with their business rules and procurement policies. Most companies engaged in building and improving housing cannot afford the investment to develop this approach. Because of 511019 V. Description of Invention (7) Therefore, it is necessary to collect the material supply to the customer by providing an interface for the customer to receive an early and accurate description of the materials he or she may purchase. What's more, suppliers need to be able to provide this information to customers wherever they are. Finally, there is a need to enable suppliers to provide better materials to customers via a wide area network, such as the Internet. (Description of the Invention) The present invention is to provide some systems and methods for improving the above management requirements. First, the present invention provides a system and method for job management. Any work that would benefit from the steps, routines, procedures, sequences, guidelines, and / or improvements in progress, valuation, and implementation discussed in this article is within the scope of the present invention. Although good embodiments illustrate systems and methods implemented in the field of house construction, these concepts and principles are equally applicable to and within any area where many operations or actions must be performed to achieve a desired result. The present invention is particularly advantageous for processes where at least one operation may not start unless at least part of the previous work has been completed. Although this concept may eventually be implemented in any field, those skilled in the art will understand the use of planning-type conventions to achieve the purpose of construction, planning, design, management, and various other areas that are covered in this document and the scope of patent applications. Items stated within the scope of the invention. In a good example of this, the present invention enables house builders and house improvement contractors to manage their workflows, automate their procurement processes, benefit from the factory version of powerful national media advertising, and borrow electricity. The sub-marketplace (e-marketplace) provides the benefit of price reduction, and in this good practice 511019 V. Description of invention (8) In the example, access to sales of leading products. The use of this management system and its methods is based on the schedule of operations and the delivery of materials? Automated procurement processes, and enables builders to monitor the progress of work through various work reports, so that builders can manage specific costs in a cost-effective manner Work flow. In addition, homebuilders can benefit from the availability of front-line valuation and budget applications. In the best embodiment, the system can reside on at least one server, which can be accessed via a standard Internet browser and via a wireless computer with wireless Internet access so that it can be accessed from the workplace Perform workflow management directly. The present invention provides a complete set of products, goods and / or services through at least ^ online stores, individuals, sellers 5 or other trading entities. The aforementioned trading entity (t): a 11 lac ti (nial entity) is derived from at least one supply network and is simply connected to the market by the market or directly sold by the supplier to the user through a market, such as the builder. Department: The system allows builders to reserve services and regulate regulations. The builder's existing supplier, manages the generation of purchase orders and other information functions of that supplier. Each user can greatly automate the user's business department within the existing supply relationship, and / or switch to using this The system does not damage the existing supply relationship of the user and benefits. At the same time, it can compare the price and service provided by the existing network with the price and service provided by the present invention. This system also guarantees that users in any region can The integration approach is still implemented with products that supply partners can deliver immediately. Of sales operation to spend the time of traditional paper costs, the use of the present system and method can make use of those, for example] shrink ί housing [providers and persons, reduce operating costs and shorten -10-

Description of Invention () This will be discussed in detail. Users who want more information or want to work on the window directory can call the global directory company directory, supplier directory, or similar screens of many options for similar items. Although detailed below, users can focus on managing financial transactions by activating tab 6 in Figure 3. Financial transaction operations can include the actions of invoice management, deposit management, accounting books, and cooperation with other systems such as the financial chain to help with temporary construction operations. With regard to invoice management, actions to be performed may include input of pending invoices, destruction of uncollected invoices, listing of payable invoices, collation of received payment invoices, and / or processing of all invoices related to the job. This allows the user to immediately evaluate actions on various invoices, and to make global predictions by assessing the work related to the issuance and receipt of invoices. In addition, deposit management actions may include the collection of outstanding payments and / or post-deposit records. In addition to deposit management, users may want to create accounting books. Adding a chain of accounting accounts allows users to establish accounting procedures for specific invoices. For example, if the user taps or activates the invoice management option, such as the input of an unissued invoice, one of the representative interface screens shown in FIG. 8 may be displayed. This interface shows the relevant invoice number 80, job name 81, job 8 2 5 supplier 83, invoice due date 84, amount 85, and approval box 86. The user can quickly evaluate each invoice and issue an invoice by tapping the note of check or similar promissory note in the approval box 86. This allows the user to quickly issue a payable invoice. The same procedure can be applied to uncollected invoices, invoices that should be issued and / or invoices for payments received. The functions of all invoices related to viewing work have the same interface. -31- V. Description of Invention (30) The user can quickly access identification information such as job name and invoice number. Once the user has reviewed the invoice details, the interface will display the total invoice amount based on the subtotal, discount, tax, shipping, and other information. In addition, this interface can display detailed evaluations of supplies and / or materials that are invoice subjects. It is mentioned here that users can quickly review other invoices by tapping or initiating the chain. When the user wants to use the similar interface screen shown above to generate a report, he taps or starts the report search mark tab7. Although users can provide any report required by users, the typical reports used by users include financial reports and scheduled progress reports. Financial statements can include total expenditures (operations), profit and loss, overruns, working budget versus actual expenditures, and / or costs per square foot. Scheduled progress reports may include analysis of late work and / or work periods. Those familiar with this technology will recognize that additional reports often required by users can be included. These additional reports are related to financial statements, scheduled progress reports, etc. Finally, the present invention can issue loans by the information contained in the records of the database, and the records of the aforementioned database can automatically list the reports without the user's great effort. This not only improves the efficiency but also the accuracy of the data. These reports are designed to allow users to evaluate annual payments, monthly payments, number of operations, activities with the least expenditures, operations with the most expenditures, average expenditures for the operations, and / or total amounts. What's more, adding the total amount allows users to review the total annual expenditure. This interface contains many chains. If the user wants to review the incremental amount at different times, such as months, this interface can display the monthly expense report by tapping the cursor or activating the relevant chain. It can also be subdivided and included, but not limited to -32- 511019 at different times of the day V. Description of the invention (31). Incremental amount is reviewed. Users can use this system to display reports for the above purposes. Users may want information about work, status, budget, actual expenditures, and balances. In addition, users can review more detailed information on any or all tasks. This allows users to quickly assess not only the differences between budget and actual expenditures, but also the details of each task. Referring to FIG. 3, the user can tap or start the system management search mark tab8 to transfer or guide information about user management, organization management, and / or security duties to the interface screen. User management can include finding users, eliminating users, or changing user functions. As for security positions, managers can control the security of each user and / or organization, and the system interface screen can display security positions. This interface screen can provide details of the positions associated with each user and / or organization. Users can assign priority to any or all of the related items discussed above. This allows the system administrator to restrict or change the role of each user and / or organization that may exist in the system and how it is used. This allows security managers to establish different priorities and access information based on the needs of users and / or organizations. For example, users of data entry may not need to access financial statements. Similarly, an accountant or the same person need not have the ability to change the steps required to complete a job. With the right to grant, add, change, cancel, and review, security managers can plan and revise the invention according to the needs of users and organizations. The above-mentioned embodiment indicates that the present invention can use an interface, and the system and method thereof provide an interface to simplify complicated tasks, tasks, steps, or things. At least one operation must be based on an event that can be performed based on completion or at least partial completion of at least one previous operation. In a good embodiment described below, adding at least one wireless device enables a user to utilize a simplified interface in a wireless environment. In a good embodiment, the user may use at least one wireless device when the construction site inspects at least one construction project. Those skilled in the art will recognize that this good embodiment represents a broad range of applications that can benefit from the use of the interfaces described in the foregoing and patent applications. Referring to Figure 9, the wireless device 90 displays information that may include ongoing work 92 such as discussed previously. For example, just by way of example and without limit, tapping, pressing, or activating one of these chains such as the "Hillwood3" chain 93 can display a series of screens. First, the work screen shows the same details as the foregoing. As mentioned here, the interface screen provides important information related to the tasks covered by this task. Users can understand what tasks are not started and what tasks have been completed. Users can also learn about the work scheduled for that day. In addition, this interface also displays self-explanatory detailed information of each job being performed. Refer to FIG. 10, which shows a screen representing a detailed operation 1 00. As shown, details of work, stages and / or work related to the project may be covered. In this context, these details may include operations, narratives, status, work phases, suppliers, budget amounts, actual expenditure amounts for 5 periods, last updated information, and / or promissory notes. Those familiar with this technology will agree that any information contained in the [Interface] can be provided. In addition, the screen 1 0 0 shows -34- 511019 V.

The user taps or operates the bank management tag tab 122 or the search bar 1 2 7 to display bank actions, such as loan search, builder search, inspection model, inspection search, and loan requirements. Figure 12 shows the bank management loan search on the aggregator. First, according to the user's information, the main area of the screen shows the loan status 1 2 2 and the loan amount lent by this particular lender. This made the lender immediately notice the two current loans made with the invention. If the lender wants to know the details of a specific loan, he can enter the information into some or all of the following project boxes: loan number 134, builder 135, company 136, city 137, state 13 8, status 139, or may include In a similar box on this screen. In addition, it is advantageous to be able to sort the results presented in i 4 0. As mentioned earlier, the use of asterisks or similar marks can lead to a wider range of search results.之后 After performing some or all of the searches according to one of the previous criteria, the lender can call up a picture of the loan details as shown in Figure 13 below. The loan details screen on Figure 13 provides lenders with immediate information. Loan -37- V. Description of the Invention (36) The loan node immediately called by the owner enables the lender to review the details of the loan including the past records of inspection and the approval of the loan requirements. This means that the details of the loan are presented to the lender. Loan details can include relevant bank, loan number, builder, start date, sale price, loan amount, including address of city, state, postal code, MapscoTM or KeymapTM number or similar product page and grid, and loan status. Additional information may include the last time the information was changed or updated. Most of the information displayed on this screen cannot be changed. In particular, the scheduled inspection progress shown on zone 1 41 shows the relevant inspection identification number, the date and status of the scheduled progress. A quick glance at the lender can decide which test needs to be performed and which test has been completed. The lender may also want to find out how many loans or money orders have been handed to a particular builder. By entering the identity of the builder, the name of the builder, the company 5 or status, the lender can call for information about its search. The good thing is that the lender can build a loan inspection model as shown in Figure 14 (similar to the previous construction model). Figure 14 shows a typical inspection template. It shows steps 142, briefly describing the fields of M3, nuclear credit 144 and so on. Regarding step ID1, the bank decided that 1% of the nuclear loan planting 145 can be used for site preparation, vertical pile and stake out as shown in the description column 1 46. Similarly, borrowers can borrow 3% of the total loan amount for underground plumbing during step ID 2. In a good embodiment, the lender will verify that steps 1D 1 have been completed and supplies purchased with a 1% loan amount have been installed before approving a 3% loan amount for step ID2. The lender will typically notify its inspectors to the construction site via the wide area network and the aforementioned remote line -38- V. Description of Invention (j) The first stage of verification has been completed. The inspector will use a wireless line connected to the WAN to send the answer to the construction site to the lender. The bank manager or lender also needs to access the nuclear loan requirements shown in Figure 15 below. This screen shows all loans or single loans. For example, Figure 15 shows a single loan summary. As shown in the interface, present the loan details 150. The owner can immediately see the status and updated information about the amount, the amount remitted, the address, the builder, and the credit loan. Information about the builder, such as a line of credit, is also displayed on the screen. As shown in the nuclear loan history area 151, the nuclear loan history provides details of each nuclear loan. This $ method gives the lender immediate access to the nuclear loan history for this particular loan. This information may include identification 1 5 2, date of application for nuclear loan 1 5 3, application of nuclear loan for gold customer 154, amount of guest spending 155, progress 1S6, and / or status 157. As shown, the lender can immediately review the status of each approved loan application. This allows the lender to determine the amount of the relevant approval and verification loan, and can approve some or all of the application without requiring inspection. This screen also enables the creditor determination # verification to be in progress. For example, ID4 in this case is in progress. The inspector also uses the invention as previously discussed. The utility of the inspector may include building some or all of the components on a wide area network. This allows the inspector to review instructions for inspections from a desktop browser prior to the manual inspection date. What's more, it is envisaged that inspectors can receive information on improvements or changes related to inspection policies. This also represents a gap between the inspector and each lender. Through management, the lender can provide the required information to the inspector. Builders can also use the invention to apply for loans or find loans. These can enable the builder not only to apply for a new loan from a lending institution, but also to explain the invention (38) to determine that a loan is currently being applied for a project. As mentioned here, the builder can also determine the progress of the project by receiving nuclear loans or other actions in this form. In particular, builders can search for loans to find competitors' loan information from many lenders to determine what kind of loan from a single lender is more suitable for work. In addition to displaying the security manager, bank manager, inspector utility program, and builder utility program can be displayed on the interface screen of the browser, the present invention, as shown in Figures 16 to 21, at least a part can enable inspection At the construction site, the remote line of the wireless computing device is used to perform its duties. An inspector utility with a wireless computing device may include multiple applications related to these wireless computing devices. Here it is mentioned that the inspector activates the application to connect the wireless computing device to a wide area network or the Internet at a distance. Finally connect the aforementioned system. The user can call the representative interface picture shown in Figures 16 ~ 21. The inspection management screen enables inspectors to review inspection instructions. This allows inspectors to determine whether they should accept additional inspection tasks and assess workload. For example, if the inspector selects the weekly inspection chain, the screen shown in Figure 16 will be called. The main screen of the interface shown in Figure 16 displays the week's instructions 160 and lists the inspection day of the week. The reference date 162 of this article is April 24, 2000. It should be noted that because of the size of the interface screen 160, a scroll bar or a similar search tool 163 can be provided to enable the inspector to view the work assignments throughout the week. By selecting or tapping the work MMRm, the inspector can call the interface screen shown in the main area 170 of Figure 17, -40-511019 V. Description of Invention (39). The screen displays detailed information about inspection instructions for inspection instructions. The information included is loan type 171, address 172, and 3 to 3. ○ ^ or KeymapTM page raster map 48, command direction to 173, command directions from 174, and inspection information 175. Tapping or manipulating the scroll bar 1 7 6 displays the bottom as shown in Figure 18. Figure 18 shows more information, such as the scheduled inspection date 18 0, the actual inspection date of the execution service 1 81, and the status of each inspection 1 82. As shown, two inspections have been performed and a third inspection approved for execution 1 8 3 has been performed. Tapping or manipulating the scheduled progress date of the approved inspection indicated by the chain 1 8 3 will display the representative interface screen shown in FIG. 19. In the screen area of Fig. 19, an inspection check sheet 19 shows loan-specific information 191, a scheduled start date 192, and the like. Furthermore, according to the aforementioned inspection template, the inspection checklist is displayed, so that the inspector simply marks the inspection meaning on the inspection box next to the description of the supply day that has been used appropriately on the building construction. The inspector can inspect the site to verify that the materials used in all aspects of the construction work have been completely installed. As shown in Figure 19, the work of framing compartments (f r a m i n g · p a r t i t i ο n s) and erection and covering of the roof (roof-rai sen deck) were not performed at this time. Referring to FIG. 17 again, tapping or activating the command button 1 7 3 will call up the representative interface screen of FIG. 20. As shown, the interface has a starting address of 2 0 0. The inspector only needs to input the destination address 2 0 2 5 and then tap to obtain the command button 201. It is worth mentioning that by tapping or activating the detailed area 203 or the brief area 204, a detailed inspection command or brief order can be selected.

In addition, the present invention can be added to allow the builder to order its supplies, and / or to monitor its construction progress based on the interaction of a system located on a server similar to the foregoing. In a good embodiment, it is advantageous to envision the system -42- '511019 V. Description of the Invention (41) The system allows the builder to use a portable computing device to monitor its construction site and progress. In this embodiment, the builder can use a computing device capable of receiving signals via a distant line connected to the same wide area network or internet as the above-mentioned inspector user. In this case, the builder can go to his site and perform the same inspection, stamp the checklist, and then connect the system to send the demand to the supplier to request another batch of materials.俟 After completing the work of the creditor's request for inspection, it can be automatically sent to the creditor via the WAN to request inspection and apply for the next phase of the loan, thereby greatly reducing the time spent and the effort of operating this interface. In this embodiment, the builder only needs to inspect their construction site and notify the completion of the stage. Then, this good practice will automatically order supplies, notify the lender of the completion of the relevant phase and apply for a loan for the next phase. In a good embodiment, the builder can access the screen to obtain details about the work plan and specifications. A checklist similar to the foregoing can be provided and sent to the site for use through a remote line to the system. This embodiment not only provides the flexibility of inspection as described above, but also completes each stage more efficiently. Providing a checklist at the same time that the lender accesses the builder helps the lender to verify the loan by a certain percentage without checking. Those familiar with this technology will agree that depending on the amount of the loan, the lender can take the position of verifying the loan without inspection, thereby increasing the efficiency of the construction operation. Similarly, the builder can also monitor the status of the inspection through his remote computing device connected to the WAN. The builder can theoretically send out a loan application from his distant site and accept the lender's verification of accepting another loan. , Place a purchase order with the supplier, and use the present invention in Yuliang-43- —— 511019 V.
