Description

Information networking system for exchanging dynamic information between multi information providers and multi users on line and information exchanging method }

The present invention relates to an information networking system capable of distributing information in real time between a plurality of information providers and a plurality of information users on the Internet, and an information distribution method using the same. More specifically, the information provider is dynamically updated separately. Not only can you easily provide information to a large number of information consumers in real time without posting the information directly on the website, but the information consumer can also connect to the background on their personal computer without having to go directly to the website on the Internet. The present invention relates to an information networking system capable of distributing information quickly by displaying only necessary information from a system continuously and an information distribution method using the same.

Four years have passed since the Internet became popular because computers and communication technologies were combined to send and receive information between computers located in remote locations.In the meantime, many related information and communication technologies have changed and developed. The most generalized information distribution method is the World Wide Web by HTTP protocol.

The World Wide Web builds a website where information providers produce a large amount of information in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), and information consumers can run a web browser to directly connect to the website located on the Internet. It provides the necessary information.

However, this method of using the World Wide Web was not very difficult for information providers to find a website when there were few websites for providing information in the early stages of the development of the Internet. However, with the development of the Internet, the number of websites increased exponentially. As the number of websites providing similar contents increases, users of information users are buried in a flood of information so that they cannot remember the addresses of these websites in order to find the desired information.

Therefore, portal sites equipped with search engines have been developed to make it easier for information consumers to find various websites that provide such information, and it is desirable to use search engines in these portal sites. It has been recognized as an essential means of finding information, and in fact, many users use the search engine provided by portal sites several times a day.

1 is a schematic block diagram showing the structure of a conventional portal site, a plurality of web servers (102, 104) connected to the Internet network 100 to provide information, and the Internet network 100 A plurality of client computers 106a, 106b and 106c connected to the web server 102 and 104 to search for information while moving the homepage included in the web servers 102 and 104, and the client computers 106a, 106b and 106c. The portal site 108 is configured to provide a connection to the corresponding web server 102 and 104 by receiving a search word.

The operation of the conventional portal site will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2. A user connects to a predetermined portal site 108 of the Internet network using a client computer, and searches a predetermined search word on the portal site 108. It provides a to run the built-in search engine itself to search the web server (102, 104) containing the information corresponding to the search term. At this time, the search method is, for example, the search engine first connects to one web server 102 and provides the user with a connection to the web server or searches for another web server 104 depending on whether there is information corresponding to the search word. Proceed sequentially.

In this case, the user connects to the selected web server according to the connection information provided by the portal site 108 and directly checks the corresponding information to perform the procedure of acquiring the information.

The portal site, which is essential for moving a lot of websites, is recognized as the user's internet gateway with many clicks, and the portal site provides various search methods to quickly and accurately move to the numerous websites existing on the Internet. Follow the information to each specialized homepage and make a lot of effort to get the information you need.

However, websites on the Internet not only generate or destroy thousands of web pages a day, but also change their information, so that portal information cannot be immediately reflected on portal sites. In addition, not only are they unable to provide accurate information to information consumers, but also most home pages are constantly changing in content, and the information contained in each website itself can be customized to meet the needs of users. There is a problem that cannot be provided.

As such, the inability of information consumers to find and move accurate information through portal sites using search engines on the World Wide Web is a problem included in the hypertext markup language itself adopted on the World Wide Web, namely, information transmitted on the Internet protocol. The hypertext markup language, which provides a formal framework for the standardization of the world, stems from the difficulty of accepting dynamically changing information in the real world.

In order to reflect the dynamic information of this reality, the information provider must continuously update the web pages posted on the website by experts with certain web authoring ability, which requires much effort and economic cost to the information providers. As a result, small information providers are putting a lot of pressure on keeping the website up to date.

In addition, the information created by the information provider, once posted on the website is exposed to an unspecified number of people become known information, there is a problem that loses the rareness of the information, the cost of providing such information The information providers who operate the website for a fee-based membership system, but as similar information providers appear and compete, there is a competition system that provides information free of charge, and eventually the information is exposed to unspecified people again. The vicious circle continues.

Here, the information provider inevitably attracts advertisements based on a large number of members and clicks for the operation of the business. However, advertisements may soon cause users to be recognized as unnecessary exposure information, and most users skip the advertisements and go back to another home page only for the information they want.

This creates considerable suspicion about the effectiveness of advertising, and in some cases, hyper-linking, which means mutual offsetting of revenue sources. Offset of income leads to poor supply of information, and in the end, this vicious cycle of information processing continues, and in the end, information providers have no source of income, making it impossible to invest in the quality of information, and users are also of low quality. You are dissatisfied with the information.

This is the cool reality of today's information industry, and is fundamental problem of current technology and information industry.

In addition, the portal site presented in the related art is designed for the purpose of serving as a guide to the user to go somewhere, so that the user cannot find the desired information in the portal site, and as the number of similar portal sites increases, so many Information roots have been exposed, making it difficult for users to find useful information.

In addition, in the case of portal site, there is no separate function, and it simply links the linked home page, and there is no separate means to send and receive the information contained in each homepage. In this case, there has been a problem that waste time for information verification by the graphic information included in each website.

In addition, when the information desired by the user does not appear in the web site linked by the portal site, there has been a hassle of having to go back to the portal site to search again or to search for another web site.

In the end, only a few people who are familiar with computers, the Internet, and foreign languages are forced to find the information they want, and those who are not familiar with the Internet or foreign languages are forced to be alienated from the information on the Internet. will be.

In addition, since the information provider's website is designed by each web designer and planner, it is designed in a separate and independent form, and it is a general rule to visit each website and search for the information contained therein. Since there is no surname, the homepage included in the website has to search for and find the desired information, and the information contained in the website has not been actively exchanged with the information user.

In general, the menu of a website is composed of a horizontal menu at the top and a vertical menu at the left, and no relation between the horizontal menu and the vertical menu is formed at all, and various tools used to construct the website are fixed. There has been a problem of redesigning a page of a website when the information controlling the graphic data, for example, HTML and dynamically converted information is updated.

The above problems of the World Wide Web, a standard for information distribution on the Internet, are a deadly weakness when used in electronic commerce, which introduces products to a large number of consumers and closes the deal. Done.

In other words, when a user purchases an object on a cyberspace website, there has been no specialized means for comparing the quality and price of the object with information built on another website.

For example, when entering a shopping mall and purchasing a laptop computer, users may visit various homepages, memorize in their heads, or compare prices and quality brands on a separate note. There was a discomfort at all in the information distribution method using the latest computer communication using the.

In addition, it is possible to think of a way to compare the information contained in each other by connecting the home sites that provide each electronic shopping mall, but because the information providers that build each electronic shopping mall is different, information compatibility between the homepages provided In addition, since there is no data box type program that collects only a certain kind of goods and expresses various information at a glance, it is difficult to realize the extraction of the information of each shopping mall.

In addition, conventionally, in order to find each homepage, the user mainly goes to the corresponding website through a certain domain name, and there is no problem when a user finds an exact address that a user wants through a search engine. The sites have had tremendous difficulty in pinpointing a company's homepage, and it was a bit uncomfortable for non-English speakers.

Anyone can register a domain name so that if the domain name corresponding to the information provider's name or trademark is occupied by another person, the information provider will have to pay a certain price and transfer the domain name. did.

Of course, these problems can be solved by constructing institutional devices, but fundamentally, the distribution system of information through the World Wide Web in the current Internet environment is being made by the hypertext markup language that is difficult to maintain and maintain. In addition, it is a problem that arises in that the information consumer has no choice but to actively search for the necessary information.

This fundamental problem makes it difficult for both information providers and information consumers to use the information. Unless the problem is solved, in the Internet environment, among the limited information provided by a small number of large providers, a large number of users each request information that is required. You have no choice but to go with patience.

Accordingly, the present invention proposes a technical means for overcoming all the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in particular, it is a specific object of the present invention to propose a technical system and a related method which will be described later.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

However, the embodiment described below is described as an example related to securities and electronic commerce, which is the most advanced field of information distribution, it should be extremely noted that the present invention is not limited to securities information and securities trading.

3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a terminal site 10 is first connected through an internet network through a website 12 and an information providing means 14 of each information provider. The information consumer's personal computer 16 is connected to the information receiving means 18 via an internet network.

4 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a diagram used for visually displaying the information density between an information provider and an information demander. The information providing means 14 or the information receiving means 18 is installed on a local computer. It is displayed on the monitor under the GUI environment to start the program or change the setting, and the information provider or the information user can easily recognize the current status of the information by displaying the density of information suitable for the predetermined setting environment. Make sure

Here, the horizontal line hl means a line indicating variation of various information items, and the vertical line vl may indicate the quantity and quality of the information or the price of the product or service.

And a density of information of the gradation in the cross section (c) of the vertical horizontal line, and means for confirming whether or not the information providing means 14 or the information receiving means 18 is operated. It can be expressed by the flash function of.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the information network working system of the present invention, wherein the operator of the terminal site 10 provides and operates the information providing means 14 and the information receiving means 18 together. In addition, information providing means 14 and information receiving means 18 for connecting to the terminal site 10 can be downloaded to the information consumer through the Internet, or through a separate recording medium such as a CD ROM. The supplied user installs each corresponding program on the local computer and sets up an execution environment for it.

After the installation is completed, the information providing means 14 and the information receiving means 18 are connected to the user through the terminal site and the Internet network, and the user provides the information from the information providing means 14. After the information is classified and stored in the terminal site 10, the information user downloads the corresponding information from the terminal site 10 in the background according to the search environment set in the information receiving means 18, and then retrieves the search information. Will be displayed on the local computer.

At this time, the user can check more detailed information according to the result confirmed on the local computer.

Looking more closely at this information networking, the terminal site 10 is optimally designed to block three or more different kinds of functions. In this case, since the blocks may be referred to as servers for convenience, each block is referred to as a server hereinafter.

First, the terminal site is an information set distribution means that can use the information by using the web site 20 for providing general information on the World Wide Web and the information providing means 14 or the information receiving means 18, which are dedicated information using means. It consists of 22.

In this case, the website 20 provides general information such as downloading the information providing means 14 and the information receiving means 18 or using the information providing means 18 to connect to the information set distribution means 22. It can be used to do.

And the information set distribution means 22 is composed of a reception side connected to the information providing means 14 and a socket side connected to the information receiving means 18, the information set distribution means 22 and information providing means ( 14) Alternatively, the connection between the information receiving means 18 may be made through a conventional internet network, and most preferably, an internal leased line is utilized.

The information provider supplies various kinds of information through the information providing means 14. When there are many information providers, the terminal server 10 may have a separate server for receiving information.

On the other hand, the information receiving means 18, when the user sets the search word of the information in advance if necessary, the user is connected to the information set distribution means 22 through the Internet network to receive a variety of information. At this time, the user needs to pre-set various models or necessary options according to the field or classification of the information in advance. In this case, the information set distribution means 22 may have a socket server such as A, B, C, D, E, etc. for each field. Also, if the amount of information is large, each socket is connected to a virtual socket whenever a user is connected. By increasing sequentially, the system can be prevented from being overloaded by multiple users.

It can be seen that the configuration of the virtual socket can be changed by the operator as much as the type and amount of each information under the basic idea of the invention.

At this time, the information receiving means 18 installed on the local computer by the user is configured to select and set the user from the search terms already classified in the system, and the user can distribute the information set distribution means 22 to the local computer. ), Only the information related to the search word is displayed on the PC on the user's local computer.

A flow chart of two pieces of information is shown in FIG. 5, where an information provider (Information Providr Homepage) first downloads a program from a website where the information providing means (14) can be downloaded, installs it, and then supplies the environment. Set this to supply the information.

In this case, the information supplied to the terminal site operator's database system may be managed by various design methods according to the operator of the terminal site, but it is preferable to manage the information according to a predetermined category.

On the other hand, the consumer of the information also downloads the information receiving means 18 from the website and installs it on the local computer, and also sets the program execution environment in advance by inputting the field and information search word of the user desired information.

Subsequently, when the information receiving means 18 is operated, the information requested by the user from the terminal site 10 of the information operator is displayed on the user's PC.

At this time, all the information related to the user's search words will be displayed in the order of 1,2,3 --- N sequentially. Afterwards, it may be possible to carry out cyber commerce with information that has been identified and then immediately linked to the provider's website.

In addition, if the user's desired information does not appear, the user cannot search by the corresponding information, so the user searches for the information again by resetting the environment by changing the search word.

For example, if a user sets a price of less than $ 1 million to get sales information for a Pentium notebook computer, and if no information provider wants to sell it, the user may change the price information to less than $ 2 million and reset the environment. Must be set

In this way, the user's definition of the search terms is not merely used for searching, but these search terms may be used as information provided by the information collecting means 18 on the terminal site 10. Thus, the information provided by the information provider and the user It forms a continuous market situation among the search information provided by the search environment, and all the information changes from time to time, which enables multi-party electronic commerce in virtual space.

As described above, it is a core technical idea of the present invention to enable search of variable information over time in a dynamic space.

In any case, when the user sets up an appropriate environment, the information collecting means 18 is transferred from the information set distributing means 22 onto the user's local computer and stored. If the stored information satisfies the user, the user knows the information. You will be taken to the procedure for checking.

At this time, the specific information of the information provider for supplying the information can be confirmed through the information window of the specification separate from the information collection means 18, and more specific information can be moved to the homepage of the information provider through the direct web browser. The information provider may check the detailed information provided by the homepage, or directly check the information from the information provider by a network communication method braked between the information collecting means 18 and the information providing means 14.

In this case, the information collecting means 18 internally stores the information about the information provider providing the information, so that the information collecting means 18 can be directly connected to the home page of the information provider, and the information providing means installed on the information provider's home site. It may be linked to (14) to check specific information provided by the information provider.

On the other hand, the display windows of the information collecting means 18 and the information providing means 14 are made to coincide with each other, so that the information is provided through the information collecting means 18 even if the information is supplied through the information providing means 14 and stored in the local computer. When directly connected to the means 14, it is possible for the information provider to directly check the information stored on the local computer.

In addition, each information window of the information providing means 14 may be designed to be directly linked to the relevant page of the home site, so that the electronic commerce can be realized by entering the step of utilizing the information immediately after the confirmation procedure of the information.

6 shows a block diagram of the entire networking system of the present invention, wherein a plurality of information providing means 14 for providing textual information via a predetermined communication means, and from the information providing means 14, Classify and store the supplied information according to a predetermined category, and store and manage information, and mediate predetermined communication means to the information set distributing means 22 and the information set distributing means 22, respectively. It is composed of a plurality of information receiving means 18 that is periodically connected to receive only the information corresponding to the selected search word and display the information sequentially to the user.

Here, the information set distribution means 22 is connected to the information providing means 14 in a predetermined communication manner to receive information, and classifies it into predetermined categories and the information classification means 24, and the information classification. The terminal database server 26 which stores and manages the information classified by the means 24, the data controller 28 which manages the data stored in the terminal database server 26, and the terminal database 26. At least one socket server 30 is configured to extract the stored information into corresponding information for each category classified by the information classification means 24.

On the other hand, the information classification means 24 is to classify the information using a unique identification code transmitted with the information delivered from the information provider, a plurality of information providing means 14 to a predetermined communication connection means The information is classified using the reception server 32 that is provided with data only when it meets a predetermined security requirement and the unique variable length identification code included in the data received by the reception server 32. At least one tuner server 34 is preferably configured.

The information set distribution means 22, which is the most essential element in the above-described configuration, is configured to be linked to each other with a separate terminal web site 20 as described above, so that the information demand means 18 or information to the information consumer. It serves to supply a program to be used for the information providing means 14 to be used by the provider.

At this time, the information consumer downloads and installs the program from the terminal web site 20, sets a predetermined environment to search only the desired information, and runs the program so that the terminal DB and the user PC are connected.

On the other hand, the information provider downloads the program of the information providing means 12 from the terminal web site 20 and installs it on the homepage, and when the information is entered into the information window as text, the information provider is connected to the information set distribution means 22 to transmit the information. do.

Of course, if there is a large amount of information, the information provider may provide information by directly connecting to the terminal DB.

In this way, the information set distribution means 22 collects the information supplied from the multiple information providers on one side to the reception server 32, and the tuning server 34 performs the process of classifying each information into predetermined categories. In the main terminal database server 26, information is classified and stored and managed.

On the other hand, the socket server 30 to provide information processing by providing a virtual connection node to the corresponding socket server 30 at the time of each user's connection in order to prevent the server from being down due to overload even if a plurality of users are connected. To create virtual sockets 36a, 36b, 36c--.

In summary, the overall configuration is such that the information provider PC or server is placed on one side of the information set distribution means 22, and the information user PC or server is placed on the other side. On the other hand, the information set distribution means 22 is connected to the information providing means 14, the information collecting means 18 and a separate web site 20 for providing various information, and is configured to separately manage each information.

In this configuration, the information provider and the terminal web site 20 are configured to be connected according to a general information networking method, and the information consumer can also visit the terminal web site 20 and the information supply site through existing networking methods. In particular, in the networking system of the present invention, the information providing means 14 and the information collecting means 18 are mutually interfaced.

Therefore, it is possible to flexibly exchange text information transmitted from an information networking system and graphic information of a web page by a general worldwide web.

7 is a flowchart showing a process of receiving information from an information provider, wherein the information provider first installs the information providing means 14 at a predetermined position on the home page, sets the program environment, and then distributes the information set distribution means 22. FIG. Enter the identification ID and password to communicate with the user.

Once connected, the information provider enters various information for the user and then receives the information from the terminal site and classifies the information.

In this case, a code tuning method is used as a method of classifying information. The code is pre-assigned according to each section inputted by the information provider, and the first incoming information is determined as the length of the code.

That is, by giving a variable length code according to the nature of the information, a code having the shortest length is given in the case of a relatively small amount of information, and a code having a long length is given to a code having a large amount of information. Can be classified.

At this time, when each classified information matches the code for each field, the corresponding information is stored in the terminal database server for each classification.

On the other hand, in another information supply method, the information provider may directly access the terminal site operator via the Internet or a separate communication means to supply the information directly, in which case the amount of information is very large or the information is transmitted. Can be used when special security is required, and in the case of product information that changes frequently, it is most efficient to use the first method.

8 shows a more detailed diagram of a user socket server, that is, the socket servers 30A, 30B, 30C, ---- are classified according to the classification of information, and each socket server 30 identifies each user of information. Virtual socket (36a, 36b, 36c, ---), which is the actual information supply server for the function to enable the infinite expansion according to the number of users.

After that, the virtual socket 36 actually functions as a direct network to the user PC, and each virtual socket 36 transmits schedule information to the buffer 38 of the user PC at a predetermined time.

In this case, the buffer is a virtual storage place configured in software on the local computer, and the information receiving means 18 is periodically connected to the virtual socket 36 to be used as a storage for temporarily storing the received information.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a data transmission relationship between a user and an operator of the socket server of FIG. 8. When the user activates the information receiving means 18, the socket 40 is activated on the local computer to establish an internet network.
