Here, the keyword searcher 31 receives the main essential elements from the search engine 13 and extracts the main essential elements from the buyer database and the member company database. Keywords have more than 10 similar keywords per classified item, which can extract more comprehensive and efficient member company data. When the member company data is extracted, it is determined whether the buyer overlaps and the determination result is transmitted to the search engine 13. That is, it is determined whether the buyer is a duplicate buyer who has already registered the same content on another trade site or a buyer who has already been registered and processed (for example, one week ago). This is determined by comparing and searching in conjunction with a database in which the buyer data to be searched and processed is stored. If the buyer is a duplicate, it is not processed in the next process and the main search engine receives the essential elements of the newly searched buyer. If it is not a duplicate buyer, the keyword searcher 31 transmits the data extracted from the main essential elements and the member company database to the e-mail sender 32.

The automatic mail sender 32 analyzes the main essential elements received from the keyword searcher 31 and selects the e-mail format sent to the buyer. There are two types of emails: open mail and form mail. Open mail is a form that allows buyers to retrieve a buyer's content from a trade website, automatically fill in the buyer's e-mail address, and send it directly. If the e-mail address of the buyer cannot be retrieved and the e-mail can be sent to the searched buyer only by writing the e-mail according to the schedule provided by the trading website, the e-mail format is written according to the schedule.

If the e-mail format is selected separately, the e-mail sender 32 automatically creates an e-mail to be sent to the buyer based on the extracted data according to the separated format. E-mail creation is classified based on each member company's product and added based on pre-written data. When the e-mail is created, it is automatically sent to the extracted buyer. If the e-mail format is open mail format and there is no buyer e-mail address to send among the key elements sent from the keyword searcher, the e-mail contents are automatically faxed.

The electronic catalog transmitter 33 attaches an e-mail sent from the automatic e-mail transmitter 32 and attaches a link pointer made for the buyer to directly view an image catalog / electronic catalog / member company homepage of a product of the same member company. The image catalog is a catalog produced by the member companies with digital images. If the buyer clicks on a desired product, the catalog can be directly linked to the member's homepage. The electronic catalog is a 3D digital image catalog produced by the member company by visiting the member company directly through the studio of the head office which provided this service. The member company homepage may be provided with an existing homepage of a registered member company or newly produced.

The received mail processing system 15 of the present invention is composed of a received mail analyzing unit 41, a received mail type analyzing unit 42, and a database interlocking unit 43, and the receiving mail analyzing unit 41 is connected via the Internet. The received e-mail is first received through the POP3 server, and thus the received e-mail is delivered to the user through the user's e-mail account that is allowed access. Receiving mail type analysis section 42 is to extract the information of the received mail extracted from the mail server and at the same time to extract the contents of the content prepared in advance and compare and classify and to automatically send the secondary reply for the received mail Relevant information is sent to the e-mail sending system for assistance. The database interworking unit 43 automatically stores the information received from the received mail analyzing unit 41 in the corresponding field of the corresponding database. The information stored in this way is processed according to the user's request and linked back to the individual file system and automatically classified and processed according to the user's requirements.

Conventional e-mail reception uses e-mail-only software to read, reply to, and store received e-mails, and e-mails delivered in the form of form mails on the website without using any other automated processing or related functions. Only the level was stored in the database according to the pre-made program. The received mail processing system 15 according to the present invention receives the e-mail received through the Internet through a POP3 server, processes the received e-mail, analyzes and classifies the extracted information, and extracts the necessary information from the trade information database ( Save it to 17). The trade information database 17 extracts the reply e-mail data from the secondary mail database according to the analysis type received by the received mail processing system 15 to create a secondary mail, and then through the email sender 32. Ship to buyer.

The HTML code extractor 21 of the search engine 13 automatically connects to the trade site 11, which has been previously selected and stored (S41-1), and displays the information of the buyer 10 registered in the site in different registration types. In accordance with this, the trade site 11 is visited, and all the contents registered by the buyer 10 are extracted as an HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) code and stored in the HTML code memory unit 22 (step S41-2). The HTML code interpreter 23 interprets the stored HTML code according to a search script component written for the corresponding website to re-extract essential elements (step S42). If there is no main essential element to be extracted, the control condition is changed to repeatedly extract the main essential element (step S43). The extracted codes are transmitted to the trade information database 17 to determine whether the extracted data is duplicated in association with the buyer database, and if duplicated, extract and interpret the data of the next buyer (step S44). Essential elements of the extracted buyer data are automatically stored in the buyer database of the trade information database 17, transmitted to the trade information sending device 14, and stored as parameters (step S45). If the search is completed for all the buyers in the site, go to the next site and repeat the search process. The keyword search unit 31 of the trade information sending device 14 compares and analyzes the main essential elements received from the search engine 13 with member company information stored in the trade information database 17 to extract related data (step S46). ). It is determined whether the buyer is duplicated based on the extracted member company data, and the duplicate is transmitted to the search engine 13 (step S47). If the duplicate buyer is not processed in the next processing process, the main search engine 13 receives the essential elements of the newly searched buyer again, and if the buyer is not a duplicate, the keyword searcher 31 provides the main essential elements and the member company. The member company data extracted from the database is transmitted to the e-mail sender 32 (step S48). The e-mail sender 32 analyzes the main essential elements received from the keyword searcher 31, selects an e-mail format to be sent to the buyer, and composes and sends an e-mail (step S49). At this time, the electronic catalog transmitter 33 attaches the electronic catalog link pointer to the electronic mail. After the e-mail is sent, when a reply mail arrives from the buyer, the received mail processing system 15 receives, processes, analyzes and classifies the reply e-mail and fax and sends it to the trade information database 17 (step S50). . The trade information database 17 extracts the reply e-mail data from the secondary mail database according to the analysis type received by the received mail processing system 15 to create a secondary mail, and then through the email sender 32. It is sent to the buyer (step S51).
