Abstract

A supply-demand pairing system and its method are disclosed. The supply-demand pairing system comprises a demand side device, a supply side device and a server. The demand side device is used to locate, and used to provide a demander to input demand information to send a demand message to the server. The supply side device is used to locate, and used to provide a suppliers to input supply information to send a supply message to the server. The server is used to compare the demand message and the supply message to execute a supply-demand pairing, and used to send the demand message and the supply message to the supply side device and the demand side device respectively for making the demand side device can communicate with the supply side device.

a supply side device having second identification information and a GPS positioning function to position a current location to generate second current location information, the supply side device further receiving supply information inputted by a supplier to package second identification information, second current location information and supply information into a supply message that is transmitted; and

a server for receiving and comparing the demand message with the supply message to perform a supply-demand pairing to respectively send the demand message and the supply message to the supply side device and the demand side device such that the demand side device and the supply side device communicate with each other through first identification information and second identification information.

2. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the demand side device comprises a positioning module, an input module, a processing module and a transmission module, and the positioning module position the current location of the demand side device to generate the first current location information;

and the input module is provided to the demander to input demand information and allows the demander to input a script message to communicate with the supply side device, and the processing module is connected to the positioning module and the input module to package first identification information, first current location information, and demand information into the demand message, and the transmission module is connected to the processing module to send the demand message and the script message.

3. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the supply side device comprises a positioning module, an input module, a processing module and a transmission module, and the positioning module positions the supply side device to generate the second current location information, and the input module is provided to the supplier to input supply information and allows the supplier to input a script message communicating with the demand side device, and the processing module is connected to the positioning module and the input module to package second identification information, second current location information and supply information into the supply message, and the transmission module is connected to the processing module to send the supply message and the script message.

4. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the demand side device and the supply side device respectively comprise a display module to allow the demand side device to display the second current location information and the supply message through the display module such that the supply side device displays the first current location information and the demand message through the display module.

5. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein first identification information and second identification information comprise an internet protocol address, a media access control address, a physical address or a phone number.

6. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the demand side device and the supply side device respectively comprise a communication module to perform audio or video communication between the supply side device and the demand side device.

7. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the demand side device and the supply side device respectively comprise an image capturing module to respectively provide the demander and the supplier to capture images, thereby generating image information, and the demand side device and the supply side device respectively package image information into the demand message and the supply message that are sent to the server.

8. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the server compares the first current location information in the demand message with the second current location information in the supply message, and when the first current location information and the second current location information are at a same regional area, the server performs supply-demand pairing.

9. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the server compares demand information in the demand message and supply information in the supply message, and when a content of demand information correspond to a content of supply information, the server performs supply-demand pairing.

10. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the server further stores the demand message and the supply message.

11. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein when the server receives another demand message sent by another demand side device, the server further performs a demand determination to compare whether or not the demand message corresponds to another demand message, if yes, a demand advice message is generated and transmitted to the demand side device and another demand side device such that the demand side device and another demand side device communicate with each other, and the demand side device and another demand side device simultaneously obtain services provided by the supply side device.

12. The supply-demand pairing system as recited in claim 1, wherein the demand side device and the supply side device are provided to the demander and the supplier to selectively perform supply-demand transaction after pairing, and the demand side device and the supply side device are further provided to the demander and the supplier to input a transaction success-failure message after performing transaction communication, and the server stores the transaction success-failure message, and when the demand side device or the supply side device looks for supply-demand pairing in future, the transaction success-failure message is sent to the demand side device or the supply side device through the server.

13. A method for supply-demand pairing comprising:

using a demand side device having first identification information and a GPS positioning function to position a current location to generate first current location information and providing a demander to input demand information;

packaging first identification information, first current location information and demand information into a demand message through the demand side device and sending the demand message;

using a supply side device having second identification information and a GPS positioning function to position a current location to generate second current location information and providing a supplier to input supply information;

packaging second identification information, second current location information and supply information into a supply message through the supply side device and sending the supply message;

providing a server to receive the demand message and the supply message and performing comparison, wherein when the demand message corresponds to the supply message, performing supply-demand pairing through the server; and

respectively sending the demand message and the supply message to the supply side device and the demand side device through the server to allow the demand side device and the supply side device that are paired to communicate with each other through the first identification information and the second identification information.

14. The method for supply-demand pairing as recited in claim 13, further comprising a step:

displaying the second current location information and supply information of the supply side device through the demand side device, and displaying the first current location information and demand information of the demand side device through the supply side device.
