Import / Export Business Service System and Import / Export Business Service Provision Method

[0001] The present invention relates to an import / export business service system and a method for providing an import / export business service, and more particularly, to an import / export business service system and a method for providing an import / export business service, which utilizes artificial intelligence to automatically evaluate photographs related to container work in real time, thereby improving errors in work information, confirming the appropriateness of photography and the suitability of loading conditions, and using the matching or matching rate of the photographs at the export and import locations as an evaluation index for the shipment situation.

[0002]

[0003] Typically, export goods are produced at a manufacturing plant, then packaged, loaded into containers by land transporters, and transported to a port of loading. Once export customs clearance procedures are completed, the containers are loaded onto ships using cranes, and then depart for the port of unloading at the import destination.

[0004] During this export process, the exporter prepares various documents, including a Sales Contract (SC), Commercial Invoice (CI), and Packing List (PL). Once the contract is finalized, containerization begins with bookings with ocean and land carriers. During containerization, the server can receive uploads of documentation and photos of the work process from workers.

[0005] However, in the past, there was a problem in that even if workers uploaded the same photos repeatedly, uploaded photos unrelated to container work, or uploaded photos that were deemed inappropriate because they did not follow the guide for taking photos required for each stage of container work, the photos could only be confirmed after the work was completed.

[0006] The prior art is technical information that the inventor possessed for the purpose of deriving the present invention or acquired in the process of deriving the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the application for the present invention.

[0106] The above export / import business service server (10) may be configured to receive the plurality of photos in stages from the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70), and to receive the next stage of photos based on the evaluation result of any one of the plurality of photos received.

[0107] At this time, the export / import business service server (10) may be configured to receive photos for the next step if, based on a real-time evaluation result of the input multiple photos, the multiple photos are evaluated as appropriate because they conform to the photo taking guide required for each stage of the container operation. On the other hand, if, based on a real-time evaluation result of the input multiple photos, the multiple photos are evaluated as inappropriate because they do not conform to the photo taking guide required for each stage of the container operation, the server may be configured to output a rejection of approval or a request for re-upload.

[0108] In one embodiment, the container driver terminal (60) includes a first container driver terminal (61) of an export location and a second container driver terminal (62) of an import location, the container worker terminal (70) includes a first container worker terminal (71) of an export location and a second container worker terminal (72) of an import location, and the export / import business service server (10) may be configured to sequentially receive a first plurality of photos from the first container driver terminal (61) or the first container worker terminal (71), and then receive a second plurality of photos from the second container driver terminal (62) or the second container worker terminal (72).

[0109] Here, the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos reflect the work situation according to the order of the container work.

[0110] At this time, the second plurality of photos correspond to each of the first plurality of photos, and may be configured in the reverse order of the order of the first plurality of photos.

[0111] The above photo analysis program (12) can be configured to match the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos with each other and evaluate whether there is a match or a match rate between the matched photos based on artificial intelligence (AI).

[0112] In one embodiment, the plurality of photos may be stored together with shooting time data and shooting location data.

[0113] In this case, the export / import business service server (10) may be configured to compare the shooting time data and the shooting location data with corresponding work time data and work location data included in information input from at least one of the exporter terminal (20), the importer terminal (30), the land transport company server (40), the producer server (50), the container driver terminal (60), the container worker terminal (70), or the maritime transport company server (80) to determine whether the data is within a preset error range.

[0114] In this way, the export / import business service system according to the embodiment of the present invention evaluates in real time the plurality of photos representing the work situation according to the container work order based on artificial intelligence (AI) using a model learned through the photo analysis program (12), and outputs a rejection of approval or a request for re-upload for photos that are evaluated as inappropriate because they do not follow the photo shooting guide required for each stage of the container work, and allows photo input for the next stage only when the photo is evaluated as appropriate, thereby improving errors in work information that may occur in the container work due to negligence or fault of the worker, and confirms the appropriateness of the shooting and the suitability of the loading state.

[0115] In addition, the export / import business service system according to an embodiment of the present invention can evaluate the appropriateness of transportation by checking whether the photos related to the container work at the export location and the import location match or the match rate, and can use it as an evaluation index for the shipment situation, so that when a problem occurs, it can be determined whether it is a problem in the loading work at the export location or a transportation problem during the shipment process.

[0116] The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can process the expected departure date and expected arrival date data provided by the above-mentioned maritime transport company server (80) and visually provide artificial intelligence (AI)-based “expected departure date” and “expected arrival date” data to the above-mentioned importer terminal (30).

[0117] The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can input seasonal conditions, weather conditions, date conditions, maritime transport time, and maritime transport company information (ship type, size, ship manufacturer) conditions, and can create an artificial intelligence (AI)-based prediction algorithm through learning based on these conditions. The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can utilize a vector database to combine factor information based on previously accumulated data and predict the expected departure date and expected arrival date through an LLM (Large Language Model).

[0118] The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can perform real-time streaming (RealTime Streaming) of information that changes in real time by utilizing SSE (Server Sent Event), and accordingly, the importer terminal (30) and other clients can immediately check changes in information.

[0119] In addition, the terminals and servers may all be equipped with a communication unit for communicating with each other via the Internet, an input interface and an output interface for users to use the terminals and servers, an operation and control unit for performing necessary tasks, a memory unit (or database unit) for storing data, and a mail server for exchanging mails with each other.

[0120]

[0121] Next, a method for providing import / export business services according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0122] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the method for providing the above-described import / export business service may include a contract information input step (S210), an automatic generation step of a purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC) (S220), an automatic generation step of a contract document (S230), a booking information input step (S240), a container work request step (S250), a container work information input step (S260), an OCR reading step (S270), a shipping document generation step (S280), and a shipping document submission step (S290).

[0123] Here, the method for providing the above-described import / export business service can be performed by an import / export business service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes an import / export business service server (10), an exporter terminal (20), an importer terminal (30), a land transport company server (40), a producer server (50), a container driver terminal (60), a container worker terminal (70), and a maritime transport company server (80), which are connected to an Internet network and capable of communicating with each other. Therefore, in this embodiment, a detailed description of the contents described in the above-described embodiment is omitted to avoid repetition.

[0124] According to one embodiment, before the contract information input step (S210), the importer and exporter can confirm the contract contents by going through a review and modification process while exchanging a purchase order (PO) and a sales contract (SC) through the import / export business service server (10) or email.

[0125] The purchase order (PO) and sales contract (SC) exchanged between the exporter and the importer may be stored in the export / import business service server (10), for example, in PDF file format.

[0126] The above contract information input step (S210) is a step in which, after the contract details are confirmed between the importer and the exporter, the import / export business service server (10) receives at least a portion of the information from the purchase order (PO) or the sales contract (SC) from the importer terminal (30) or the exporter terminal (20). The purchase order (PO) or the sales contract (SC) may be confirmed.

[0127] At this time, the exporter terminal (20) and the importer terminal (30) can connect to the export / import business service server (10) to check and print the contract contents from their terminal screens, and can also view and print the purchase order (PO) and sales contract (SC) that were exchanged.

[0128] The automatic generation step (S220) of the purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) automatically generates at least a portion of the information of the purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC) based on the sales contract (SC) or purchase order (PO) received in the contract information input step (S210), and receives input from the importer terminal (30) or the exporter terminal (20) as to whether or not to approve at least a portion of the information of the automatically generated purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC).

[0129] That is, the method for providing an import / export business service according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a step of automatically generating at least a portion of information of the sales contract (SC) based on the purchase order (PO) input from the importer terminal (30), and receiving an input from the exporter terminal (20) as to whether or not to approve the at least portion of information of the automatically generated sales contract (SC); and a step of automatically generating at least a portion of information of the purchase order (PO) based on the sales contract (SC) input from the exporter terminal (20), and receiving an input from the importer terminal (30) as to whether or not to approve the at least portion of information of the automatically generated purchase order (PO).

[0130] Since the above purchase order (PO) and the sales contract (SC) include common items, the export / import business service server (10) can automatically generate at least a portion of the information of the purchase order (PO) or the sales contract (SC) on the other side of the exporter terminal (20) or the importer terminal (30) based on data input from either the exporter terminal (20) or the importer terminal (30).

[0131] In addition, the export / import business service server (10) can receive input from the importer terminal (30) or the exporter terminal (20) as to whether to approve at least a portion of the information in the automatically generated purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC).

[0132] The above contract document automatic generation step (S230) is a step for automatically generating contract documents using a digital signature method.

[0133] That is, the method for providing an import / export business service according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a step of automatically generating the contract document using a digital signature method by the import / export business service server (10) when the purchase order (PO) and the sales contract (SC) are completed.

[0134] More specifically, the export / import business service server (10) can automatically generate the contract document based on the purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC) input in the contract information input step (S210) or automatically generated in the automatic generation step (S220) of the purchase order (PO) or sales contract (SC). The export / import business service server (10) can receive digital signatures from the importer terminal (30) and the exporter terminal (20) for the automatically generated contract document, and generate a three-party contract document accordingly. The contract terms and conditions can be attached to the contract document immediately before the digital signature.

[0135] The above booking information input step (S240) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) receives shipment booking information from the exporter terminal (20). After the contract document automatic generation step (S230), the exporter can contact the manufacturer (production plant) to check the export quantity preparation schedule and contact the maritime transport company to proceed with shipment booking. The shipment booking can generally be conducted offline. When the shipment booking is confirmed, the shipment booking information is entered into the export / import business service server (10) from the exporter terminal (20), and a booking confirmation document transmitted from the maritime transport company to the exporter is attached and stored in the database (13) of the export / import business service server (10).

[0136] The above container work request step (S250) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) receives a container work request from the exporter terminal (20) or the importer terminal (30). The above 'container work' may refer to the work of loading export goods into a container (loading work) or the work of unloading the export goods from the container at the import destination (unloading work). The entity performing the container work request may vary depending on the export / import method. Here, work-related information such as the booking number, work date, requested photo type, and number of photos may be transmitted together with the container work request.

[0137] The above export / import business service server (10) can transmit the container operation request to the above land transport company server (40) and the above producer server (50), and can additionally transmit the operation-related information as well.

[0138] The land transport server (40) that has confirmed the container work request can assign a container transport vehicle and driver, and transmit dispatch information (vehicle number, work location arrival time, etc.) and the driver information (the container driver terminal (60) number) to the export / import business service server (10).

[0139] In addition, the producer server (50) that has confirmed the container work request can transmit worker information (the container worker terminal (70) number) to the export / import business service server (10).

[0140] Thereafter, the export / import business service server (10) can transmit the necessary container work-related information, i.e., booking number, work date, requested photo type and quantity, etc., to the container driver terminal (60) and the container worker terminal (70) via email and text message.

[0141] Upon receiving the above container operation-related information, the container driver can load the container onto a vehicle and drive to the location where the packaged goods are located (the shipping location of the production plant). Upon arrival, the container operator can load the goods onto the container, close the container door, and install a seal.

[0142] The above container operation information input step (S260) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) receives the container operation information from the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70). The container operation information may include a container number photo, a seal number photo, an item photo, etc. taken by the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70).

[0143] The above container operation information (e.g., container number photo, seal number photo, product photo) can be automatically classified by container and stored in the database section (13) of the import / export business service server (10). At this time, related information such as the number of packages (quantity according to packaging type such as Case, Bale, Bag, etc.) can also be entered and stored.

[0144] Once the container work is completed at the production site, the container driver can move the vehicle to the loading dock at the port of loading and have it weighed by a weighing company. At this time, the container driver terminal (60) can take a picture of the weighing certificate issued by the weighing company through the installed app and input it into the export / import business service server (10).

[0145] As described above, the container worker terminal (70) can input the container number photo, the seal number photo, and the product photo into the import / export business service server (10), and the container driver terminal (60) can input the receipt photo into the import / export business service server (10). The import / export business service server (10) can store the photos (the container number photo, the seal number photo, the product photo, and the receipt photo) in the database section (13) by classifying them by booking contract and container.

[0146] The above container operation information input step (S260) is described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

[0147] The above OCR reading step (S270) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) reads the container number photo and the seal number photo by the OCR program (11), recognizes the container number and the seal number as text, and stores the container number and the seal number in the database unit (13).

[0148] In addition, in the OCR reading step, the export / import business service server (10) can recognize the information (container tare weight, net weight, first weight, second weight, gross weight, CBM (cubic meter)) written in the weighing certificate as text from the weighing certificate photo by the OCR program (11), and store this information in the database unit (13).

[0149] The above-mentioned shipping document generation step (S280) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) automatically generates shipping documents using information stored in the database unit (13). The shipping documents may include a commercial invoice (CI) and a packing list (PL).

[0150] The above shipping documents are also documents for preparation of shipment submitted by the above exporter to the above maritime transport company in order to load goods onto a ship, and are also documents proving the completion of shipment together with the Bill of Lading (BL) issued by the above maritime transport company after shipment is completed.

[0151] In the above-mentioned shipping document creation step (S280), the exporter terminal (20) connected to the export / import business service server (10) selects a booking case for which shipping documents are to be submitted, selects the type of document to be created among the commercial invoice (CI) or the packing list (PL), and selects a template to be used for creating the selected type of document.

[0152] After selecting the above booking item, selecting the document type, and selecting the template, the export / import business service server (10) can automatically generate the shipping document by retrieving information corresponding to the items to be described in the document to be created from the database section (13) and displaying them in the corresponding description fields.

[0153] For example, when generating the above commercial invoice (CI), the exporter, importer, non-importer notification address, loading port, unloading port, vessel, loading date, commercial invoice number / issue date, letter of credit number / issue date / opening bank information, product description, quantity, unit price, total amount, container number, seal number, etc. may be listed. When generating the above packing list (PL), the exporter, importer, loading port, unloading port, vessel, loading date, commercial invoice number / issue date, letter of credit number / issue date / opening bank information, product description, quantity, net weight of goods, weight after packaging of goods, container number, seal number, etc. may be listed.

[0154] Additionally, additional information such as HS code (a product classification code that comprehensively classifies foreign trade products according to the International Harmonized Commodity Classification System), product specifics, and other information may be input from the exporter terminal (20) as needed.

[0155] The above shipping documents are linked to the contract and booking case and are stored in the database section (13) of the export / import business service server (10) in PDF file format, and can be viewed, printed, and sent by email as needed.

[0156] The above shipping document submission step (S290) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) transmits the shipping documents to the maritime transport company server (80). At this time, the shipping documents are documents that the exporter must submit to the maritime transport company in order to load the export goods onto the vessel, and may include the commercial invoice (CI), the packing list (PL), export declaration certificate, etc.

[0157] The above commercial invoice (CI) and packing list (PL) may be automatically generated in the shipping document generation step (S280).

[0158] The above export declaration certificate can be reported and issued by the exporter through the Korea Customs Service's electronic customs clearance system and submitted via email or offline.

[0159] Once the above shipping documents are submitted and shipment is approved, actual shipment can proceed. Once the export goods are loaded onto the vessel, the maritime transport company can issue a bill of lading (BL) proving the completion of shipment. The maritime transport company server (80) can transmit the bill of lading (BL) to the export / import service server (10).

[0160] The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can send shipping documents by sending the bill of lading (BL) together with the commercial invoice (CI) and the packing list (PL) to the importer terminal (30). When sending the above-mentioned shipping documents, photos of the goods, etc. can be sent together.

[0161] Finally, the export process is completed when the exporter sends the original (paper document) of the bill of lading (BL) received by mail from the maritime transport company to the importer via international express mail.

[0162] In one embodiment, the method for providing the import / export business service may further include a step in which, when there is a consent input (consent button input) of the exporter terminal (20), the importer terminal (30) checks shipment booking information, container operation information, or shipment progress status information from the import / export business service server (10). Since the importer terminal (30) enables real-time confirmation of such information, the importer can easily set up a warehouse scheduling, thereby improving convenience for the importer.

[0163] The above-mentioned import / export business service server (10) can perform real-time streaming (RealTime Streaming) of information that changes in real time by utilizing SSE (Server Sent Event), and accordingly, the importer terminal (30) and other clients can immediately check changes in information.

[0164] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, the container operation information input step (S260) illustrated in FIG. 2 in the method for providing the import / export business service according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0165] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, the method for providing an import / export business service according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a photographing guide provision step (S510), a photo input step (S520), a photo evaluation step (S530), an approval rejection or re-upload request step (S550), and an approval step (S560). Here, the method for providing an import / export business service may be performed by an import / export business service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes an import / export business service server (10), an exporter terminal (20), an importer terminal (30), a land transport company server (40), a producer server (50), a container driver terminal (60), a container worker terminal (70), and a maritime transport company server (80), which are connected to an Internet network and capable of communicating with each other. Therefore, in this embodiment, a detailed description of the contents described in the above-described embodiment is omitted in order to avoid repetition.

[0166] The above-mentioned photographing guide provision step (S510) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) provides a photographing guide corresponding to each of a plurality of photos to the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70) which is connected to the export / import business service server (10) via the Internet and is equipped with a camera for photographing.

[0167] Here, the above shooting guide is set so as to clearly indicate the work situation required at each stage of the container operation, and may be, for example, about a size or area corresponding to each photo that can show the work situation at each stage.

[0168] Referring to FIG. 5, the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70) can execute an application and operate the camera to take pictures. The container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70) can display the photographing guide provided from the export / import business service server (10) on the screen or output it as a voice.

[0169] The container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70) can sequentially take the plurality of photos by using a shooting button in the shooting function implemented by the application, and the plurality of photos taken can be automatically or manually transmitted to the export / import business service server (10) through the application.

[0170] Here, the plurality of photos are included in the container operation information and can reflect the operation status according to the order of the container operation. The plurality of photos can be of a total of eight types, such as product samples, empty containers, 1 / 4 loaded states, 1 / 2 loaded states, full loaded states, one-door closed states, both-door closed states, and seal photos. The export / import business service server (10) can provide the photographing guide corresponding to the photos required at each stage to the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70).

[0171] Referring to FIG. 6, when the plurality of photos are captured by the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70), the capture time data (capture date and time) and capture location data may be stored together. For example, the capture date and time may be stored as a watermark in the plurality of captured photos.

[0172] The above photo input step (S520) is a step in which the export / import business service server (10) sequentially receives the plurality of photos from the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70).

[0173] At this time, the plurality of input photos reflect the work situation according to the order of the container work, and the order of shooting and input can be specified in advance according to the order of the container work.

[0174] More specifically, the export / import business service server (10) may be configured to receive the plurality of photos in stages from the container driver terminal (60) or the container worker terminal (70), and, based on the evaluation result of any one of the plurality of photos received, if it is evaluated as appropriate, to receive the photo for the next stage, and if it is evaluated as inappropriate, to output a rejection of approval or a request for re-upload. That is, the number of stages for receiving the plurality of photos (e.g., 8 stages) may be performed in the same manner as the number of the plurality of photos received (e.g., 8).

[0175] The above photo evaluation step (S530) is a step of evaluating the plurality of photos based on the shooting guide using a photo analysis program (12) utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) that utilizes a learned model. That is, the plurality of photos may be evaluated as appropriate if they conform to the shooting guide, and may be evaluated as inappropriate if they do not conform to the shooting guide.

[0176] Here, the artificial intelligence utilizing the learned model may be a model that has learned an image-label dataset through data-based image classification learning. The learned model may be trained to classify images by combining the product of the input values ​​and weights of each node and the bias.

[0177] For example, the learned model may be used as a multi-label classification model, where data can simultaneously belong to multiple categories. The learned model may be trained using sigmoid activation and / or binary cross-entropy loss.

[0178] According to one embodiment, the method for providing import / export business services may further include, in the photo evaluation step (S530), a step of comparing the shooting time data (shooting date and time) and the shooting location data included in the input plurality of photos with corresponding work time data and work location data included in information input from at least one of a server or terminal that is connected to the import / export business service server (10) via an Internet network and can communicate with each other, and determining whether the data is within a preset error range. That is, the import / export business service server (10) may compare the shooting time data and / or the shooting location data with corresponding work time data and / or work location data included in information input from at least one of the exporter terminal (20), the importer terminal (30), the land transport company server (40), the producer server (50), the container driver terminal (60), the container worker terminal (70), and the maritime transport company server (80), for example, booking information or a container work request, and determine whether the data is within a preset error range.

[0179] In this way, the export / import business service server (10) can evaluate the input multiple photos in real time and determine whether to proceed to the next photo input step.

[0180] The above approval step (S560) is a step for approving the input of the input photo if the photo is evaluated as appropriate (if “yes” in S540) based on the evaluation results of the multiple photos input in the photo evaluation step (S530).

[0181] The above export / import business service server (10) can proceed from the approval step (S560) to the next step of photo input, and can proceed with the step of providing the photograph guide corresponding to the next step of photos (S510), the photo input step (S520), and the photo evaluation step (S530).

[0182] The above-mentioned approval rejection or re-upload request step (S550) is a step for rejecting approval for the photo input or requesting re-upload if the photo is evaluated as inappropriate (if “No” in S540) based on the evaluation results of the multiple photos input in the photo evaluation step (S530).

[0183] According to one embodiment, the export / import business service server (10) may output a rejection of approval of the photo input to the container driver terminal (60) and the container worker terminal (70) or output a request for re-upload of the photo in the approval rejection or re-upload request step (S550).

[0184] In addition, the above export / import business service server (10) can block progress to the next step, such as by skipping, if the photo of the corresponding step is rejected or a re-upload request is made.

[0185] Referring to Figure 7, container operations related to import / export operations can occur at both the export and import locations. The aforementioned method for providing import / export services, including evaluating, approving, or rejecting / re-uploading photos, can be performed at both the export and import locations.

[0186] According to one embodiment, the container operator terminal (60) may include a first container operator terminal (61) at the export location and a second container operator terminal (62) at the import location. In addition, the container worker terminal (70) may include a first container operator terminal (71) at the export location and a second container operator terminal (72) at the import location.

[0187] The above photo input step (S520) may include a step of sequentially receiving a first plurality of photos from the first container driver terminal (61) or the first container worker terminal (71) at the export location, and then a step of receiving a second plurality of photos from the second container driver terminal (62) or the second container worker terminal (72) at the import location.

[0188] The above photo evaluation step (S530) may include a step of matching the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos with each other, and evaluating whether there is a match or a match rate between the matched photos based on the artificial intelligence (AI).

[0189] That is, the export / import business service server (10) can evaluate the second plurality of photos input from the second container driver terminal (62) or the second container worker terminal (72) based on the first plurality of photos input from the first container driver terminal (61) or the first container worker terminal (71) at the import location. The export / import business service server (10) can evaluate whether the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos match or the matching rate.

[0190] Here, the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos reflect the work situation according to the order of the container work.

[0191] At this time, the second plurality of photos correspond to each of the first plurality of photos, and may be configured in the reverse order of the order of the first plurality of photos.

[0192] For example, the first plurality of photos may be a total of 7, including ① empty container, ② 1 / 4 loaded state, ③ 1 / 2 loaded state, ④ fully loaded state, ⑤ one door closed state, ⑥ both doors closed state, and ⑦ seal photo, and may be configured in the order described above according to the container operation process.

[0193] For example, the second plurality of photos may be configured in the same manner as the first plurality of photos, but in reverse order, in the following order: ⑦ seal photo, ⑥ double door closed state, ⑤ single door closed state, ④ full load state, ③ half load state, ② quarter load state, and ① empty container.

[0194] The photo analysis program (12) of the above export / import business service server (10) can match the first plurality of photos and the second plurality of photos, which are configured in reverse order, with each other, and evaluate whether there is a match or a match rate between the matched photos based on artificial intelligence (AI).

[0195] The above-mentioned export / import business service server (10) can transmit the evaluation results of the above-mentioned matching and matching rate to the importer terminal (30). For example, the above-mentioned export / import business service server (10) can indicate that the shipment is excellent if the matching rate is 90% or more, average if it is 70% or more but less than 90%, and abnormal if it is less than 70%.

[0196] As described above, according to the export / import business service system and export / import business service provision method of the present invention, by evaluating photos related to container work in real time, allowing input only for appropriate photos, and enabling input of photos for the next step, errors in work information can be improved, and the appropriateness of the shooting and loading status can be confirmed.

[0197] In addition, according to the export / import business service system and export / import business service provision method of the present invention, it is possible to use the matching or matching rate of photos related to container work at the export location and the import location as an evaluation index for the shipment status, and when a problem occurs, it is possible to determine responsibility for whether it is a problem in the loading work at the export location or a transportation problem during the shipment process.

[0198] In addition, according to the export / import business service system and the export / import business service provision method of the present invention, if there is consent from the exporter, the importer can check booking information, container operation information, or shipment progress status information entered into the export / import business service server, thereby promoting the convenience of the importer.
