  • In this paper, we designed a system that integrate and organize customer management programs and databases, which are performed independently of each other. And we designed the system so that it can be used for future marketing by implementing the system to share and efficiently utilize mutual independent maintenance information. From the CRM perspective, a comprehensive information system ghat manages every information on both new cars and second hand cares grom their purchase, to parts, to insurance, and to scraping needs to be established. The following should be applied in the establishment of the IAMS. Auto makers or auto maintenance services providers exclusive management of information on customers and their car maintenance services is aggravating the customer's inconvenience and complaints. In addition, the service provider has difficulty providing consistent maintenance services because it has little information about previous auto maintenance services the customer received. Besides, the customers who have no information on costs of parts and labor tend to hesitate to trust the costs of maintenance services. This study to provide customers with systematic maintenance service and causing them some inconvenience. Therefore, in order to maintain existing customers, auto maintenance service providers should provide services the customers wanted on the basis of accurate information about them.

  • Modern people who have been busy in their busy daily life tend to reduce outside activities and activities in their homes are increasing. As a result, the frequency of use of electronic products such as computers is increasing and products are being developed. However, the remaining inconvenience of using a computer is that you have to sit in front of a computer when you are tired and want to watch movies, browse the internet and do simple tasks. This is why the penetration rate of smartphones is increasing. In order to solve the inconvenience of such a computer, we have designed a program that enables Wake on LAN function, which is a function for booting a remote shutdown computer, and mouse control and keyboard control by communicating with a smartphone application and a computer.
