Open/close identification/indication method of off-line enterprise on internet homepage

摘要

PURPOSE: An off-line store opening state checking or displaying method is provided to enable a user to recognize an opening or closing state of off-line stores on home pages offered by the off-line stores over the internet so that it can increase a user friendliness. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises steps of a store, affiliated at a service provider, receiving a specific program from a server, and generating an opening state check or display icon on a home page by activating the program(S1), and the store accessing the server by using a specific log-in program for enabling the server to receive the log-in signal and maintain an opening or closing state of the store(S2). If a user visits the home page offered by the corresponding store, the user can recognize the opening state of the corresponding store by checking the opening state check or display icon located at a corner of the home page. Every time users visit the home page or at every designated time, an icon of a program inquires of the server about a log-in state. If a log-in state is checked, an icon expressing "on" or "open" is formed, and if it is not checked, an icon expressing "off" or "close" is formed on the home page.
