Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic document posting system, and more particularly to an electronic document posting system for accumulating a document originally created by a user and disclosing the document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the widespread use of personal computers and the development of Internet technology, various kinds of information have been disclosed and referenced through networks. The disclosure and reference of such information is usually performed through electronic bulletin boards, electronic advertisements, WEB pages and the like.

However, in order to publish and post information on an electronic bulletin board or the like, high technical skills and a high agency fee for requesting the agency are required. Most of them are companies and a few technicians.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to use a document fetching device (eg, scanner + PC) and a device for accumulating documents (a filing system server) which are conventionally connected via a telephone line or a network. so,
There has been a system in which an ordinary user, for example, at a convenience store or the like, takes in handwritten advertisements or posted documents from a scanner or the like, stores them in a server, and widely publishes and posts them.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional publication and posting system, a paper document to be captured by the document capturing device is required, which is inconvenient for users who do not have an environment or technology for creating a paper document. There was a problem that was.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic document posting system that improves the convenience of a user who does not have an environment or technology for creating a paper original.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, an electronic document posting system according to the invention of claim 1 is an electronic document posting system by a document storage server for storing received electronic documents. The additional information relating to the received electronic document added to is stored in the document storage server together with or in association with the electronic document, and the additional information is used for searching and browsing access to the document storage server by the general user via the line and the network. It is possible to search for electronic documents by using, and display the searched electronic documents corresponding to the search, the received electronic document is an electronic document created on an information processing device such as a personal computer, and the additional information is the posting of electronic documents. The information is characterized by including a range, a posting period, and field information to which the electronic document belongs.

An electronic document posting system according to a second aspect of the present invention is an electronic document posting system based on a document storage server that stores received electronic documents, wherein the document storage server adds the electronic document added to the electronic document. Information is stored in the document storage server in association with or in association with the electronic document, and general users search and browse access to the document storage server via the line and the network.
Designing the electronic document to be posted, which enables users to search for electronic documents based on additional information, posts the electronic documents to be searched, and wants to place an order for the design of the electronic document to be posted on the electronic document posting system. It is characterized by configuring an intermediary system for intermediating with individuals or companies who wish to receive orders.

Further, the above-mentioned intermediation system requires an orderer registration process by an individual or a company who wishes to receive an order for the design of the electronic document to be posted, prior to the intermediary of receiving and placing an order for the design of the electronic document to be posted. The contractor registration process on the intermediary system is performed by inputting the field information of the bulletin board that can be ordered, the delivery date information required to complete the ordered design, the registration information such as the design order amount, and the electronic document posting system. For individuals or companies that wish to place an order for the design of the electronic document to be posted, enter the information necessary for ordering the design such as field information and delivery date information of the electronic document to be posted, and become the ordering party for the design of the electronic document. It is possible to search for individuals or companies or their candidates.
