Personal information providing device and method with personal one-web web function

The present invention relates to a personal information providing apparatus and method having a personal windowed web (PWW) function, and more particularly, by using only a normal telephone network without being connected to the Internet, The present invention relates to a personal information providing device and method for easily providing a client with his or her personal information and providing a web browser function to be compatible with a general client using the Internet.

In general, the Internet is the largest network in the world, with more than 20,000 networks connected in more than 80 countries around the world, and even more than 2,000,000 tens of thousands of hosts connected to the Internet. It is not a service operated by a particular company, there are no telecommunication charges, and it is not a network owned by any particular country. Only the carriers (eg Cheon Lian, Hitel, etc.) collect the costs and business benefits of connecting to the Internet to Internet users. Therefore, the use of the Internet is accelerating to provide various information.

Hereinafter, the information providing and exchanging method using the Internet will be described in detail.

First, the connection method with the Internet is classified into dial-up networking that connects to the Internet primarily by using a normal telephone network and internet access networking that uses a separate dedicated line regardless of the telephone network. Networking is primarily connected to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) through a normal telephone network (PSTN), that is, a user who wants to connect to the Internet. The service provided allows access to a number of web servers connected to the Internet.

1 is a general diagram of a general Internet information providing system, comprising: a plurality of clients 1 wishing to connect with a user, i.e., the Internet; A normal telephone network (PSTN) 2 connected to the client by telephone line; An ISP (3) connected to the telephone network to provide Internet service; An internet 4 connected with the ISP; It is configured to include a Web server (Web Server) 5 for providing information in connection with the Internet.

Referring to the operation of the Internet information providing system configured as described above, first, the client 1 is a basic communication used for dial-up to obtain or exchange information from the web server 5 via a telephone line. TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol, hereinafter called `` TCP / IP '') is used for information exchange with PPP, a protocol called Point to Point Protocol (PPP). Then, by connecting to the ISP (3) using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is a communication protocol used for transferring a hypertext document. Obtain and exchange information provided from the web server (PWWS) 5;

On the other hand, the ISP 3 uses PPP and TCP / IP to respond to the client 1 requesting connection through the telephone network 2, and at the same time, a web server (PWWS) connected to the Internet 5 ( 5) Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and TCP / IP are used for connection.

As described above, the ISP 3 connected to both the client 1 and the web server 5 has a Net Program Manager (unsigned) for connecting and relaying each communication protocol. Perform link operation between each other.

In addition, the Web server 5 uses ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), TCP / IP, and HTTP for connection and exchange of information with the ISP 3 connected through the Internet.

Accordingly, the client 1, the ISP 3, and the web server 5 are networked using the above communication protocol, whereby the client 1 connected to the telephone network is relayed by the ISP 3 The service obtains or exchanges information of the web server 5 connected to the Internet.

However, in the Internet information providing system, the Internet connection and the relay service of the ISP 3 must be premised. Therefore, the client 1 using the ordinary telephone network must always use the ISP 3 through a modem such as a computer. You need to pay a service fee to your ISP or Internet service provider, especially if you want to provide your own information, so buy a high-priced Web Server (5) that should always be connected to the Internet. Since installation, and the homepage for providing information must be produced, maintained, and operated, a large amount of cost is incurred, and thus it is practically difficult for ordinary individuals or small businesses to provide their information through the Internet.

Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above problems, and hypertext (Hypertext) used in the Internet without a personal connection to the client (Client) using only a normal telephone network without being connected to the Internet. To provide a simplified personal information providing device and method that can be easily provided in the form, as well as providing a Web browser function to be compatible with a typical client using the Internet, will be.

As the output peripheral device 40, a conventional TV (TV), a monitor, a printer, or the like is used.

Operation of the personal information providing system configured and connected as described above will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

5A and 5B show an operation flowchart of a client 30 connected to a personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13 according to the present invention, and FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate the present invention. FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B show a flowchart of the operation of the personal Windows web server (PWWS) 13 according to the present invention. First, the client 30 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B is described above for connection with the telephone network PSTN. As described above, when a PPP program is driven (S11) and a key for requesting a connection from a user is input (S12), PPP and TCP / IP are connected (S13) for data communication, and the personal Windows web server (PWWS) The virtual IP (Internet Protocol) address transmitted from 13 is received (S14). After that, when networking with the personal Windows web server 13 is normally connected (S15), HTTP is driven (S16), and a network address input from a user, that is, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is input. It detects (S17) and transmits the URL to the corresponding personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13 (S18). Thereafter, the virtual IP address of the URL transmitted from the personal Windows web server (PWWS) 13 is received (S19), and a signal requesting the homepage information transmission by the user's selection is returned to the personal Windows web web. It transmits to the server (PWWS) 13 (S20). In response to the homepage information transmission request signal, the homepage information transmitted from the personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13, that is, the homepage data is received (S21) and displayed on a monitor so that the user can check the user's information. When a selection key for selecting a menu of the homepage provided by the personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13 is input (S22), the personal one-door code is transmitted to the homepage information transmission request signal corresponding to the selected menu. Repeatedly performs a series of processes (S20 to S22) for transmitting to the web server (PWWS) 13, on the other hand, when the disconnect command from the user is input (S23), the personal Windows web server (PWWS) (13) Disconnect from.

On the other hand, the personal Windows web server (PWWS) 13 shown in Figs. 6A and 6B detects a call connection request signal (Ringing Signal) in a connection waiting state (S30) for connection with the client 30. When the call connection request signal is detected (S31), PPP and TCP / IP are connected (S32) to access the client 30, and a virtual IP address is transmitted to the client for communication with the client. In addition, the personal Windows web server (PWWS) to set its own virtual IP (33). After that, when networking is normally connected (S34), HTTP is driven (S35), the URL transmitted from the client is received (S36), and it is determined whether the received URL is valid. In the case of a URL, a message indicating an error is transmitted to the client (S38). In the case of a valid URL, the virtual IP address of the URL is transmitted to the client (S39). Thereafter, when a signal for requesting homepage data (HPD) transmission is detected from the client (S40), homepage data stored in the first second memories 23 and 24 is read and transmitted to the client. Then, when the connection state with the connected client is detected and in the disconnected state (S42), the process is repeated by switching to the connection waiting state (S43) for the connection with another client.

Meanwhile, the above-described virtual IP and URL will be described in detail.

First, a client connected to the Internet, that is, all computers, must have an Internet address to communicate with each other. The Internet address is called an IP address, and data on the Internet is directly transmitted / received to the IP address. Therefore, a temporary IP address that is newly changed is assigned to a computer that is connected to the Internet through a telephone network, and both sides of the communication, that is, the client and the server, have the IP address. In the meantime, the IP address is 32 bits, and the dot is divided and used in 8-bit units. For example, Yahoo Korea's IP address is 164.124.96 .131. However, since the IP address is somewhat difficult to be memorized and used by a user, an Internet address called URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is used instead. For example, instead of the Yahoo! IP address, that is, 164.124.96.131, a URL in the form of www.yahoo.co.kr is used. Typically, the computer cannot recognize the URL in the form of www.yahoo.co.kr. yahoo.co. The URL of kr must be converted into an IP address of 164.124.96.131, and the conversion is performed by DNS (Domain Name system, hereinafter referred to as 'DNS').

For example, the process of performing Internet communication using an Internet-connected client such as 'Netscape' or 'Explorer', which is widely used for internet access, is described first. When the ISP accesses the ISP, the ISP assigns a temporary IP address to the user. If the IP address is 111.222.333.444, the user then performs all communication on the Internet through 111.222.333.444. On the other hand, when the user operates the client, enters the URL of the homepage he wants to access and search in the address input window of the client, for example, enters www.yahoo.co.kr and hits enter. It will request the actual IP address of www.yahoo.co.kr with the DNS set in The DNS then responds that the IP address of www.yahoo.co.kr is 164.124.96.131, and the client sends a request to send homepage information corresponding to the IP address of 164.124.96.131. Of course, at this time, the client IP address requesting the homepage information is the temporarily assigned IP address 111.222.333. 444, and the web server requested to transmit homepage information becomes Yahoo Korea with an IP address of 164.124.96.131. Therefore, as mentioned above, Internet access and communication must be assigned to both the client and the server, and a DNS function for changing the URL entered by the user to the IP address is necessary for accessing the homepage. .

In the present invention, the personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13 is connected to the personal one-door web server (PWWS) by using a conventional internet connection client, that is, without changing the client. ) Transmits and temporarily assigns a virtual IP address similar to the IP address when connecting to itself. The virtual IP address is substantially different from the above-described IP address of the Internet, but the form and use thereof are the same. Thereafter, when the client enters a textual URL in the URL input window in order to access a personalized Windows web, for example, http: //pww.82. If you enter .2.704.2520 or pww: //82.2.704.2520, the personal Windows web server (PWWS) 13 receives the URL and sends a virtual IP address corresponding to the URL to the client 30 as if it were a DNS. Send it. Then, the client 30 receives the virtual IP address and requests a signal for requesting homepage information transmission. Accordingly, the personal one-door web server (PWWS) 30 is to transmit the homepage information stored in the memory (23, 24).

As a result, the client 30 may be provided with homepage information provided by the personal one-door web server (PWWS) 13 through the same operation and process as the normal Internet connection / communication.

On the other hand, Figure 7 shows an embodiment of the network address of the personal Windows web server (PWWS) according to the present invention, that is, the network address of the personal Windows web server (PWWS), that is, virtual Since the URL may be divided into countries and regions by applying a phone number used by the personal Windows web server 13 as shown in FIG. It is possible to eliminate the need to go through the procedure, and Figure 8 also shows the home page (Home Page) screen of the personal one-door web server (PWWS) according to the present invention, personal one-door according to the present invention The home page screen of the web server PWWS is divided into title, content, video, and audio, as shown in FIG. 8, and is particularly familiar with computers. Not In order to provide homepages for various purposes for individuals or small businesses who do not have a homepage, a homepage of a template type is provided so that a user can simply select a homepage for a suitable use and change only its contents.

The personal information providing apparatus and method having a personal Windows web (PWW) function according to the present invention, which is configured as described above, uses a simplified personal Windows web server (PWWS) and a general telephone network. By providing information easily and making it compatible with a client using a general Internet, it is not necessary to purchase and use an expensive web server and an Internet address according to the use of the Internet. It is a very useful invention that can provide information quickly with no connection delay or congestion by 1 connection communication.
