The user wants to keep the stem cells in the storage container, such as accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, or selects the stem cells to be kept in the dedicated liquid nitrogen container which is maintained under the certificate authority (S304) . The user may select his or her stem cells (S306) , or may select the stem cells of the high-ranking official or star performer (S308) . It is preferable that after the process of proliferating, transiting and culturing the stem cells of the high-ranking official or star performer is previously imaged and saved, the image is provided.
After the selection of stem cells is completed, the user selects the storage container, such as accessories,
personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, or the dedicated liquid nitrogen container which is maintained under the certificate authority, so as to keep the stem cells (S310) . If the user wants to buy the stem cells kept in the storage container, the user selects the storage container, such as accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, and then selects a delivery method (S312) . If the user wants to keep the stem cells in the dedicated storage, the user selects keeping of the stem cells in the dedicated storage of the certificate authority to provide the user with medical services through a routine medical examination (S314).

In case of the user's stem cells, it may take an image of the process of creating and extracting the stem cells through proliferation and change, subculturing the extracted
stem cells, adjusting the stem cells according to the storage container, such as accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, and keeping the stem cells in the selected container in real time, and may broadcast the image through the Internet, or the image may be produced as a CD (S316) .
If the stem cells are kept in the storage container for storing accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, or the dedicated liquid nitrogen container of the certificate authority, the certificate authority (e.g., Korea Stem Cell Bank) allocates the kept stem cells with a serial number, issues a deposit certificate and a value certificate authenticating the value of the deposit certificate, and then stores the associated data in the database (S318) .
The stem cells kept in the storage container for storing accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, are delivered to the user, so that the user carries the storage container. The stem cells kept in the stem cell library of the certificate authority provide the user with medial services through a routine medical examination, and the user continuously manages the stem cells via the Internet (S320) .
The forgoing embodiment is merely exemplary and is not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The present teachings can be readily applied to other types of apparatuses. The description of the present invention is
intended to be illustrative, and not to limit the scope of the claims. Many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Industrial Applicability
As apparent from the above description, according to the system and method for providing stem cell services using the Internet, the stem cells of the user is kept in the stem cell library of the certificate authority, and the user is provided with medical services through a routine medical examination, thereby preventing and curing various kinds of diseases .
In addition, the stem cells of the user, high-ranking official or star performer stored in the storage container for storing accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, time capsules, and so forth, are provided to the users, so that the users are naturally interested in the stem cells.
Claims

3. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the stem cell management unit includes: a value certificate module issuing and managing a document to certificate a value for the certificate issued by the certificate authority with respect to the stem cells. a chart management module providing the serial number of the stem cells received from the certificate authority, a contact number, and so forth which are managed via the Internet; a certificate issue module issuing a certificate for verifying that the certificate authority keeps the stem cells stored in the storage container or dedicated liquid nitride container and for providing the user with a service of routine medical examination; and a property right management module managing an original owner and its property right for the stem cells.
4. A method for providing stem cell services using Internet, comprising the steps of: a) registering a user accessing a web server through a user terminal as a member; b) if the user registered as a member selects stem cell ordering information to be kept and a stem cell storage container, storing the stem cell ordering information and the stem cell storage container for each member; c) taking an image of a process of creating and extracting the ordered stem cells through proliferation and change and subculturing the extracted stem cells, according to the stem cell ordering information and the storage container which are stored for each member, and an image of a process of adjusting the stem cells according to a characteristic of the storage container, such as accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, or time capsules, and keeping the stem cells in the selected container, and then storing the image for each member; d) allocating the stem cell information stored in the storage container for storing accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, or time capsules, with a serial number, and automatically issuing a certificate verifying a value through a certain algorithm; and e) delivering the stem cells stored in the storage container to the user, storing delivery information, and managing the stem cell information for each member.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein in the step b, the user selects his or her stem cells or any one of stem cells of high-ranking officials or star performers.
6. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein in the step b, the stem cells of the user is stored in the storage container for storing accessories, personal ornaments, jewels, or time capsules, and is stored in a dedicated liquid nitride container of -19β°C which is provided when the user is given with a service of routine medical examination.
7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein in the step c, after an image of the sampling process is stored, the image is provided as a CD or is provided in an Internet realtime broadcasting service via the web server.
