Or it relates to an information sharing system and information sharing method that can share manually and provide the necessary information.

With the development of internet and mobile communication technology, users can actively exchange various information using wired / wireless communication terminals such as smart phones as well as computers.

In addition, marketing is very important in running a store. Therefore, store owners put a lot of effort into marketing to promote their stores. However, in order to use the conventional marketing methods, the store owner should invest a lot of money, which is a reality that the burden on the store owner. In particular, shopkeepers who provide services requiring customer visits, such as restaurants, beauty, skin care, and medical care, are having a lot of difficulties in attracting consumer visits.

In addition, the application market is expanding due to the exponential spread and popularization of smart phones, and thus information retrieval and product purchases using the application are increasing. For example, a seller who sells goods or services can use SMS (Long Message Service), LMS (Short Message Service), LMS (Short Message Service), They may also promote their products, services or companies by sending them to users in advertising messages such as MMS (Multi-media Message Service).

On the other hand, in the modern society, many information providers provide various kinds of information on many topics due to the development of wired / wireless communication technology and the Internet. In the sea of information, users can easily and quickly contact the information they want through wired and wireless media.

Therefore, the user must go through a process of reviewing a plurality of information to find the information desired by the user, and re-search each time new information is added. In order to reduce such efforts and time investment, it is required to develop an application program for intelligent information recommendation that provides customized information suitable for user intention.

It also uses peer-to-peer networks to manage information. P2P is a distributed network where individual participants or users, called peers, can send and receive resources directly without the help of servers or hosts. One peer may act as a client and may act as a server. When a peer acts as a server, it can share resources with other peers.

Such P2P networks can be dynamically applied between peers because routing is based on content. In addition, the size of the P2P network may be flexible.

If the above-described P2P network appropriately utilizes the state information of peers in selecting a peer to transmit content, the efficiency of the network can be improved, and a user who selfishly uses resources or content can be controlled. In addition, even when the number of peers participating in the P2P network is large, the management server can grasp the state information of all peers.

In addition, a point of sales (POS) system, which is an information system established by retailers to establish and implement management strategies and to evaluate implementation performance, has been developed. In practice, many retailers are using this system to achieve effective results. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is also used as a system that efficiently and automatically regulates the flow of all operations such as company funds, accounting, purchasing, production, and sales.
