System and method of material management
First Claim
1. A material management method, for being applied to a material management system including material database servers, a network management server and terminal devices for proceeding a real-time material management of receiving materials;
- the method comprising the steps of;
(1) transmitting material-receiving data via a user at one of the terminal devices in a material-receiving form to the network management server through a network; and
(2) receiving and integrating the material-receiving forms via the network management server from the terminal devices, so as to initiate and establish connection with one of the material database servers that provides material-receiving data service according to types of the material-receiving data, wherein the material-receiving data are inputted to the material database server and stored in a material database of the material database server in an order of material-receiving dates.

Abstract
A system and a method of material management are proposed, which can be applied to a system for managing procurement and sale of materials and products, allowing materials to be received and issued in a first-in-first-out manner that, materials received at earlier material-receiving dates are prior to be issued for use, so that problems of material hoarding and expiring material validity can be eliminated. A user at a terminal device can provide material-receiving or material-issuing data required for conducting a material-receiving or material-issuing operation through the use of the material management system, in which two-way communication is established between the material management system and the user, allowing the user to realize a current material-receiving or material-issuing condition in real time.

8. A material management method, for being applied to a material management system including material database servers, a network management server and terminal devices for proceeding a real-time material management of issuing materials;
- the method comprising the steps of;
(1) transmitting material-issuing data via a user at one of the terminal devices in a material-issuing form according to a material-issuing status to the network management server through Internet or intranet; and
(2) receiving and integrating the material-issuing forms from the terminal devices via the network management server, so as to initiate and establish connection with one of the material database servers that provides material-issuing data service according to types of the material-issuing data, for inputting the material-issuing data to the material database server;
receiving the material-issuing data via the material database server, and inspecting material data in a material database thereof to issue materials in an order of material-receiving dates, so that a material with an earlier material-receiving date is prior to be issued, and a first-in-first-out mode of material management is proceeded in receiving and issuing materials. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A material management system for being applied to a real-time material management system, comprising:
-
at least one terminal device for allowing a user at the terminal device to transmit material-receiving data or material-issuing data to a network management server, wherein the terminal device has a browser for obtaining the material-receiving data or the material-issuing data from a material database of a material database server via the network management server;
the network management server for receiving the material-receiving data or the material-issuing data transmitted from the user at the terminal device;
wherein after receiving and integrating the material-receiving data or the material-issuing data from the terminal device, the network management server accesses material data of the material database of the material database server;
wherein the network management server receives the material-receiving data or the material-issuing data from the material database of the material database server, and transmits the received data to the terminal device via a network; and
the material database server having the material database required by the network management server. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
