The present invention relates to a method for displaying a character having a font set by a user for each region or each object in a service page, and a system for performing the method.

Internet users frequently use personal community spaces such as their homepages or blogs, or public community spaces that are easily accessible by many, such as group community spaces and discussion forums linked to news bulletins. Perform communication.

However, Internet users have a desire to beautifully decorate spaces generated by their requests among their personal community spaces or public community spaces. To this end, services for providing skins and background music for each service page are used. Therefore, the Internet user can decorate the background screen of his personal community space with the skin and allow the background music to be played.

Another way to beautify your personal community space is to have your texts output in a font. For example, an internet user may use a font service that allows text entered for his personal community space to be displayed as "sandstone mineral water."

However, in the conventional font service, once an internet user purchases a single font item and makes an application request, as shown in FIG. 1, the font displayed in the personal community space of the internet user is the existing font before the font item is applied. Is used as it is (see reference numeral 101) or only one font by the requested font item is collectively applied (see reference numeral 102) and displayed. Therefore, the conventional font service has a problem that can not decorate their personal community space by applying a variety of fonts in combination.

In addition, the conventional font service was able to express only the text of its own personal community space in a predetermined font by using the font item purchased by the user, and the font item for the personal community space or the public community space of other Internet users. There was a problem that the range of use of the font item was not available because of the error.

Accordingly, NHN Co., Ltd., which is the applicant of the present invention and provides a service page such as a blog as a community space on the web page Naver (www.naver.com), is trying to solve the problems of the prior art as described above. We have developed a font service providing system that can distinguish areas and set the fonts associated with each area individually or independently.

Furthermore, the present applicant provides a font service providing system that allows fonts to be set for each object when a plurality of objects exist in a predetermined area, such as when there are a plurality of posts registered by users in the post area. Developed.

However, in the process of testing the font service providing system, it has been found that a problem occurs that increases the system load in a user terminal or a font service providing system for providing a font service for each region and an object.

Accordingly, there is a demand for a font service providing method capable of reducing a system load on a font service providing system or a user terminal while providing a font service for setting a font for each area of a service page.

 The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the font service providing method for dividing the service page into a plurality of areas and the user to set the font of the characters displayed in each area for each area and the It is an object to provide a system for performing the method.

In addition, in the present invention, when a second user who is not a first user (so-called owner) who has the authority to the service page inputs text into a specific area of the service page, the text is not displayed as it is and the first user does not display the text. It is an object of the present invention to provide a font service providing method for displaying characters converted into a font set by a user for a specific area, and a system for performing the method.

In addition, the present invention provides a font service providing method and a system for performing the method that can reduce the system load that may occur in the process of displaying the characters in the font set for each area or each object of the service page. For the purpose of

In order to achieve the above object and to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the font service providing method according to the present invention, the predetermined item server and the area information and the area information corresponding to the predetermined service page in the user database; Maintaining font providing information including an associated font information list (the area information is information for identifying each area of the service page, the font information list including one or more object-specific font information, and the font) Information includes a network address specifying a storage location of font data), the service server maintaining a service page database including text associated with each area of a service page associated with the user, the second user receiving If a service page associated with a user is requested, the service The server receiving the font providing information associated with the service page from the item server, and the service server extracts the font information from the font information list included in the received font providing information, respectively, so that the font types are not duplicated. Extracting only one font information, the service server checking whether font data associated with the extracted font information is stored in the user terminal of the second user, and checking the extracted font in the user terminal. If the font data associated with the information is stored, the service server generating the service page using the font data.

According to one aspect of the present invention, in the font service providing method, if font data associated with the extracted font information is not stored in the user terminal as a result of the inspection, the service server includes the extracted font information. Generating the service page by obtaining font data from a storage location specified by a network address.

2 is a diagram illustrating a network connection of a font service providing system according to the present invention.

The font service providing system 200 may be connected to a plurality of user terminals 210 through a wired or wireless communication network. In addition, the font service providing system 200 includes an item server 210 and a service server 220.

The user terminals 240 and 250 are communication terminals that can be connected to the font service providing system 200 through wired or wireless communication networks, and may include a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a handheld PC, a mobile phone, and the like. By providing a predetermined communication module such as a code division multiplexing access (CDMA) module, a Bluetooth module, an infrared communication module (IrDA), and a wired / wireless LAN card, the communication capable of connecting to the font service providing system 200 through a wired or wireless Internet network. Collectively, the terminal.

Hereinafter, a user terminal of a user who requests a service page for a predetermined user from the service server 220 is called a user terminal 250 and the user terminal of the user associated with the service page is referred to as a user terminal 260.

3 and 11 are flowcharts illustrating a font service providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, a font item purchase process and a font setting process for each region using the font item will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

In step S301, the item server 210 provides users with a font shop page including a user interface through which users can purchase font items, as shown in FIG. The user who accesses the font shop page in step S302 may purchase and secure a font item for a predetermined font. In addition, the user may secure a font item purchased by another user or a font item provided according to a predetermined event as “receive a gift”. The item server 210 may control such that a payment service for making a payment for the corresponding font item is provided to the selected user by clicking the purchase button 401 or the gift button 402.

In step S304, the item server 210 stores the information on the font items that the user secured by purchasing, receiving gifts, etc. in the first user database for each user.

On the other hand, when the usage period for the font item is determined, the item server 210 may further store usage period information in association with the user and the font item. The usage period information is information on a usage period during which the font item can be used, and even after the usage period has elapsed, even if the font item purchased by the user cannot be used anymore, the user purchases the font item. The cost paid to do so may vary depending on the usage period.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the usage period may be set relatively, such as "30 days from the date of purchase of the font item", or "from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004" according to a user's selection. Likewise, it may be set to an absolute period.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of data stored in the first user database. Referring to Figure 5, the user "wisjjang" purchased a font item that can use the sandstone mineral water and sandol monoche, respectively, sandstone mineral water for 1 year from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 Monoche can be used for 30 days from November 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004.

In operation S305, the item server 210 provides the user with an item backpack page including a user interface for allowing the user to set a font for each region by using a font item. The item backpack page is generated for each user individually by referring to the first user database. The item server 210 allows the user to set a font for each area when the personal community space provided by the service server 220 is divided into a plurality of areas through the item backpack page.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example in which a service page provided by the service server 220 is divided into a plurality of areas such as a service page title area and a self introduction area. 7 illustrates an example of an item backpack page associated with a user "wisjjang" among item backpack pages provided by the item server 210.

Referring to FIG. 5, since the fonts available to the user "wisjjang" are sandstone photoreceptors and sandal monocheese, the item server 211 indicates its service page to the user "wisjjang" as indicated by reference numeral 701 of FIG. 7. A user interface may be provided to select which font (font) to be applied from among sandstone photoreceptors, sandal monoids, or basic fonts provided by default.

In addition, the present invention is to set the font for the letters displayed in the corresponding area in the item backpack page, the size or color of the letters are set in the blog using the editor function provided by the blog server 220 by default You can do that.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, as indicated by the reference numeral 702 of FIG. 7, the item server 210 may set the size or color of the text displayed in the corresponding area in the item backpack page. It may be.

In the present specification, information including information on the font selected by the user is referred to as "font information", and identification information for identifying each area of the service page is referred to as "area information", and the area information and the area. Information including a font information list, which is a collection of font information associated with the information, is referred to as "font providing information".

When the user "wisjjang" sets a font for each area of the service page in the backpack item page in step S306, the item server 210 provides font information including the font information and area information in step S307. Is associated with the user "wisjjang" and stored in the second user database. 8 illustrates an example of data stored in the second user database. Referring to the second user database, it is possible to know in which font to display the text included in each area of the service page of the user "wisjjang".

On the other hand, in the case of font information registered using a font item whose usage period is set as shown in FIG. 5, the item server 210 uses the font as a basic font after the usage period of the font item has elapsed. The second user database may be updated to change it. That is, referring to FIG. 5, since the usage period for the sandstone photoreceptor is until December 31, 2004, the second item as shown in FIG. 8, unless the font item is repurchased from 0:00 on January 1, 2005. In the user database, the font information 801 may be changed as "basic font". Therefore, from 00:00 on January 1, 2005, the service page title area of the service page of the user "wisjjang" is displayed in the basic font.

In the above, the process of setting the font information for each area of the service page which is a user's personal community space was demonstrated.

However, the font service providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention may not only enable users to set fonts of respective areas of their service page, but also allow a user who registers text to a service page of another user to It also provides a service for setting fonts.

In general, a service page may be divided into a "first area" in which only the owner of the service page can be created or changed, and a "second area" in which a user who is not the owner of the service page can register contents. The service page title area, self-introduction area, etc. correspond to the first area, and the post area, comment area, trackback area, etc., correspond to the second area. The present invention allows the users to maintain a third user database as shown in Fig. 9, so that users can respectively set the font of the text that they register for the second area.

The service page of FIG. 10 is a service page of the user "wisjjang", and will be described by taking an example in which the user "kkue" registers a post indicated by the reference numeral 1001. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying text registered by a user in a service page of another user in a font set by the user according to the present embodiment.

When the user "kkue" provided with the service page 1000 of the user "wisjjang" requests to register a post 1001 including predetermined text in the post area of the service page 1000 in step S1103, the step ( In operation S1104, the service server 220 requests the font information corresponding to the post area and associated with the user "kkue" from the item server 210.

In step S1105, the item server 210 refers to the database as shown in FIG. 9, and retrieves the font information for the yellow font, which is the font set by the user "kkue" for the post area, to the service server 210. To send. The font information stores a font identifier for designating a yellow body and a network address which is an acquisition path for acquiring yellow font data. For example, the network address may be a URL for identifying a storage space in which yellow font data is stored.

In operation S1106, the service server 210 generates a yellow text image corresponding to the text input by the user "kkue" by referring to the transmitted font information.

More specifically, if the text input by the user is "hello", the service server 210 is connected to the network address included in the transmitted font information, the yellow font data corresponding to "not", corresponding to "hello" Each of the yellow font data can be downloaded to generate a yellow text image " hello ".

In step S1107, the service server 210 further updates the post 1001 including the letters displayed in yellow in the service page 1000. Therefore, the post title of the post 1001 or the body content displayed when the post is activated is displayed in yellow.

In addition, the service server 220 displays the font information 1211 for the post 1001 as shown in FIG. 12 in order to display the letters included in the post 1001 in yellow font each time a service page is generated. 4 Save it in the user database.

As can be seen from the second to fourth user databases shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 12, respectively, the item server 220 maintains font information for each area of the service page of the user for each user. When a large number of objects are included in a corresponding area such as a post area, and another user can set the font of an object registered by the user, font information is also maintained for each object.

In the present specification, font information for each object associated with each area is expressed as a "font information list". For example, the information indicated by reference numeral 1200 corresponds to a font information list associated with a post area. In addition, only one font information is included in the font information list associated with an area including only one object, such as a service page title area.

For reference, font information on an area of the service page 100 in which a user other than the user "wisjjang" cannot set a font is as shown in FIG. 8.

As described above, the first to fourth user databases are respectively maintained in the item server 220, and the first to fourth user databases may be implemented in one database means.

Whenever the service server 220 generates the service page 1000 of the user "wisjjang" according to a request of another user, the font of the characters displayed in the first area such as the service page title area and the self introduction area is shown in FIG. 8. The font of the letters displayed in the second area such as the post area, the comment area, and the like can be determined by referring to the second user database as shown in FIG. 12.

However, in the above-described embodiment, in order for the service server 210 to obtain font data corresponding to the text included in the post 1001, the service server 210 identifies the network address included in the font information 1211 corresponding to the post 1001. When the font data stored in the storage space is downloaded, the service server 210 has described the font data corresponding to the font information 1211 in the user terminal 250 of the second user. The text image may be directly generated using the font data.

That is, the service server 210 uses the yellow font data when the yellow font data identified by the font identifier included in the font information 1211 is stored in the user terminal 250. The yellow font data can be downloaded from the storage space of the external network identified by the network identifier included in the font information 1211 only when is not stored in the user terminal 250. In the case of directly using the yellow font data stored in the user terminal 250, since no system or network load occurs when the yellow font data is transmitted through an external network, and no transmission time is required, the service page The time to generate 1000 can also be reduced.

However, in the font service page providing method according to the present invention, the font set for one service page may be set for each area, and the font may be set for each object included in one area. There are a large number.

Therefore, the web browser of the user terminal 250, which has received the information necessary for displaying the service page 1000 from the service server 210, has a font corresponding to the font for each font set for each area and object. Each checks whether data is already stored in the user terminal 250.

For example, the web browser checks whether the font data corresponding to the font information 1211 is stored in the user terminal 250 to display the post 1001, and then checks the font information (for displaying the post 1002). 1212, each time, it is checked whether font data corresponding to the font exists for each region or object for which different fonts are set, such as whether font data corresponding to 1212 is stored in the user terminal 250.

Since only one or two fonts are applied to a service page generated according to the prior art, the number of checks is only one or two times, but in the font service providing system developed by the present applicant, a web browser is used for each area and each. Since a large number of tests need to be performed for each object, it has been found that the system load on the user terminal 250 increases and the time to generate a service page also increases. For example, as a result of internal experiments, the time required to generate a service page including 15 posts in which fonts are set up is delayed by 1 or 2 seconds compared to before providing a font service for each region / object. It can be seen that the delay is recognizable.

Accordingly, the present inventors 1) provide a font service for setting different fonts for each area of the service page or for each object, and 2) reduce the system load incurred in providing the font service. In addition, the font service providing system is improved, and the improved font service providing system will be described in detail below.

As a result of the observation, even when the font identified by the font information 1211 corresponding to the post 1001 is yellow and the font identified by the font information 1213 corresponding to the post 1003 is also yellow, the web browser According to the font information 1211, the yellow font data is checked in the user terminal 250 and the yellow font data is repeatedly stored in the user terminal 250 in the font information 1212. .

Reflecting this observation result, the service server 210 according to the present embodiment adopts a method of reconfiguring the service page so that unnecessary duplication of inspection is not performed in the web browser. Hereinafter, a process of providing a service page according to the font service providing method according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 13.

In operation S1303, the second user requests the service page 1000 of the user “wisjjang” from the service server 210.

In operation S1304, the service server 210 requests the item server 220 for font providing information associated with the user “wisjjang”.

In operation S1305, the item server 210 searches for font providing information associated with the user "wisjjang" by referring to the second and fourth user databases according to the request, and provides the retrieved font providing information to the service server 220. To send.

In the present embodiment, only the case where the service server 220 receives the font providing information from the item server 210 is described, but as described below with reference to FIG. Font providing information previously stored in the user terminal 250 may be used.

The item server 210 may transmit the font providing information to each service server 220 for each region. For example, the font providing information transmitted to the service server 220 may be data as shown in FIG. 14. Reference numeral 1410 denotes font providing information for the post area, and reference numeral 1420 denotes font information for the profile list area. In addition, the font providing information 1410 includes a font information list associated with the post area.

In operation S1306, the service server 220 extracts font information from the font information list included in the transmitted font provision information, respectively. Referring to Fig. 14, service server 220 includes font information 1201, font information 1202,... , Font information 1401, font information 1402, and the like can be extracted respectively.

In operation S1307, the service server 220 generates an object list in which the extracted font information is arranged, and rearranges the object list so that the extracted font information does not overlap each other. For example, when the font information 1201 and the font information 1401 are the same, the font information 1401 is removed from the object list.

In step S1308, the service server 220 determines each font information of the object list from which duplicates are removed as described above, and checks whether font data corresponding to the determined font information is stored in the user terminal 250, respectively. do. As the processes of steps S1306 and S1307 are performed, the service server 220 does not repeatedly check the same font information for each region or object.

For example, if the yellow body is set in the post 1001, the sandstone photoreceptor in the post 1002, and the yellow body is set in the post 1003, if the steps S1306 and S10307 are not performed, the service server 220 is performed. After checking whether the yellow font data is stored in the user terminal 250, and checks whether the sand stone photo water font data is stored in the user terminal 250, the yellow font data is stored in the user terminal 250 again It will check again to see if there are any unnecessary tests.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to prevent repeatedly checking whether or not font data of the same font is stored in the user terminal 250, a font service for setting a font for each area or object is provided. At the same time, the system load or service page generation time can be prevented from increasing.

In operation S1309, the service server 220 generates a text image using font data stored in the user terminal 250 or font data stored in a storage space identified by a network address included in the font information, and generates the text. Create a service page where images are displayed.

For example, when the font information 1201 designates a yellow font, and the yellow font data is stored in the user terminal 250, the service server 220 displays the text included in the post 1201 in the yellow font text. Display the post 1201 replaced with the image.

In addition, when the font information 1202 designates the sandal photoreceptor and the sandal photoreceptor font data is not stored in the user terminal 250, the service server 220 uses the network address included in the font information 1202. Receives sandal photoreceptor font data stored in a storage space identified by the network address. In operation S1312, the service server 220 displays the post 1202 in which the text included in the post 1202 is replaced with the sandstone photoreceptor text image generated by using the received sandstone photoreceptor font data.

Accordingly, the second user is provided with the service page 1000 in which letters are displayed in fonts set for each area or object.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 15, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when users request a predetermined service page, the service server 220 transmits the font providing information to the item server 210 or the user terminal of the user. A method of providing a font service for obtaining the service page from the method 250 will be described.

In operation S1501, the service server 220 maintains a service page database that stores text included in the service page for each area. For example, the service page database may store data as shown in FIG. 17 in association with a service page of a user "wisjjang". In addition, the service page database may further include additional information (eg, image path, location information on the location of content) for generating a predetermined service page.

When the second user requests a service page of the user "wisjjang" in step S1502, the service server 220 associates with the user "wisjjang" in the user terminal 250 of the second user in step S1503. Then, it searches whether the font information or cover information of each region used to generate a service page related to the user "wisjjang" is stored.

The user may request to provide a service page of the user "wisjjang" by inputting a network address of the service page of the user "wisjjang" through a link or directly. The user may be the same person as the user "wisjjang" or may be different people. That is, the font service providing method according to the present embodiment may be applied to a case where a user requests a service page of another person as well as a user requesting his or her own service page.

The area-specific font information or the cover information is information generated by the item server 210 and stored in the user terminal 250 under the control of the service server 220.

In addition, as used herein, "label information associated with a given user" means "information for notifying that a service page associated with the user is generated using only a basic font."

Functions of font information or cover information for each area stored in the user terminal 250, a process for storing font information or cover information for each area in the user terminal 250, and the like will be described by those skilled in the art. It can grasp | ascertain clearly from description content.

In the present invention, the search result in step S903 is (1) when neither the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" nor the cover information are searched, (2) the font for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" When the information is searched, (3) it may be classified as a case where the cover information associated with the user "wisjjang" is searched. Each case will be described below.

(1) When neither font information nor cover information by area associated with user "wisjjang" is found

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 16, a case in which neither the font information for each region associated with the user "wisjjang" nor the cover information is described will be described.

As a result of the search, if the font information or the cover information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" is not found in the user terminal 250 of the second user, the service server 220 may transmit to the item server 220 in step S1505. Request font information associated with user "wisjjang".

In step S1507, when the request is made, the item server 210 refers to the second user database as shown in FIG. 8 to retrieve font providing information associated with the user "wisjjang". As described above, the font providing information includes font information and area information associated with the font information.

If the font providing information associated with the user "wisjjang" is found, the item server 210 transmits the font providing information to the service server 220 in step S1509.

In operation S1510, the service server 220 may generate a service page of the user “wisjjang” based on the font providing information transmitted from the item server 210.

That is, when the service server 220 receives the font providing information from the item server 210, the fonts included in each area of the service page of the user "wisjjang" are converted into a certain font based on the received font providing information. You can determine if it should be displayed. Referring to FIGS. 8 and 17, in the service page title area of the service page, the text “day when cartoons rule the world” should be displayed as sandstone mineral water.

The service server 220 may directly generate a text image (for example, an image defined by a bitmap method or an outline method) corresponding to the text "day when cartoons rule the world" using the font providing information.

In addition, the service server 220 may obtain the text image by transmitting the font providing information and the text associated with each area of the service page to a separate image server (not shown) for each area. For example, the service server 220 transmits font information associated with a service page title area and text associated with the service page title area to the image server, respectively. The image server transmits the font data corresponding to the font information to the service server 220. Therefore, the service server 220 may generate a text image using the transmitted font data.

However, the present invention relates to a configuration for determining the font of the text displayed in the predetermined area of the service page by using the font providing information, and an individual method of obtaining a text image corresponding to the predetermined text using the font providing information. The scope of the present invention is not limited accordingly.

In operation S1511, the service server 220 provides the generated service page to the second user.

In operation S1512, the service server 220 controls the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" to be stored in the user terminal 250 using the received font providing information.

18 and 19, a step (S1512) of controlling by the service server 220 to store the font information for each area in the user terminal 250 will be described in detail.

In operation S1801, the service server 220 generates font information for each region using the font providing information received from the item server 210.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the font information for each region may have a structure as shown in FIG. 19. The area-specific font information includes a service page identifier 1901 for identifying a service page of a user "wisjjang", one or more font information 1902, 1903, and the like. 19 shows a case where the positions of the font information 1902, 1903, etc. have a predetermined order for each area. That is, the service server 220 may generate font information for each region so that the font information is arranged in the order of the service page title, the self introduction, and the category among the areas of the service page. Accordingly, the font information 1902 determines the font of the characters displayed in the service page title area, and the font information 1901 determines the font of the characters in the self-introduction area.

Each of the font information 1902, 1903, etc., includes a font identifier, a format of the font, size information, and the like.

The font identifier is used to identify a font of a character output in an area associated with the font information. For example, the font identifier is information for identifying a sandstone photoreceptor or a yellow change.

The format of the font is information on a method of generating a character image corresponding to a character having the identified font. For example, the format of the font includes information on whether to generate the character image in a bitmap manner or in an outline manner.

The size information is information on whether to output the text image at a predetermined fixed size or to change the size of the text image to a default size that is basically set for each area of a service page. Therefore, when the size information included in the font information for the predetermined area refers to i) "fixed size-9", the service server 220 causes the text image displayed in the area to have a size '9', ii) When referring to “variable size”, the service server 220 causes the text image displayed in the area to vary according to the size basically set in the area. For example, when the font size of the service page title area is set to '12' by default, and the size information included in the font information corresponding to the area is "variable size", the service server 220 According to the default size, the character image displayed in the region has a size of 12.

However, FIG. 19 is only an example of configuration of font information for each area, and the service server 220 generates font information for each area so as to have a configuration for identifying each font information for which area. Are all within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the service server 220 controls so that only a predetermined number of area-specific font information is stored in the user terminal device 250. That is, only font information for each area of a predetermined number of service pages is stored. Hereinafter, the number of font information for each area stored in the user terminal 250 is referred to as "font information number".

In operation S1802, the service server 220 may communicate with the user terminal 250 to determine the number of font information stored in the user terminal 250.

As a result of the determination, when the number of font information is less than a predetermined value, for example, less than five, the service server 220 transmits the font information for each area to the user terminal 250, and transmits the font for each area to the user terminal 250. The information is controlled to be stored (step S1804 and step S1805).

Therefore, according to the present exemplary embodiment, even when the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" (or associated with the service page of the user "wisjjang") is not stored in the user terminal 250, once the second user's font information is stored. After providing the service page according to the request, the user terminal 250 of the second user stores the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang". Therefore, when the second user re-requests the service page of the user "wisjjang", the service server 220 is not the font providing information received from the item server 220, but by the area stored in the user terminal 250. The service page can be generated using font information. A more detailed configuration of generating the service page using font information for each area stored in the user terminal 250 will be described later.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of font information is a predetermined value, that is, five, in step S1806, the service server 220 displays font information of any one of five area-specific font information stored in the user terminal 250. Controls to be deleted. The user terminal 250 deletes any one of five area font information stored in the memory according to the control.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 250 deletes any one of the font information for each of five areas. In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal 250 deletes the font information for each area stored first among the five font information for each area, that is, the font information for each area generated longest.

As such, when any one of the five area font information stored in the user terminal 250 is deleted, the area font information associated with the user "wisjjang" may be stored in the user terminal 250. In operation S1805, font information for each region associated with the user “wisjjang” is stored in the user terminal 250.

According to the present embodiment, even when the second user requests and receives any number of service pages, since only a predetermined number of area-specific font information is stored in the user terminal 250, the user may store the font information for each area. It is possible to prevent the storage space of the terminal 250 from being used up too much.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the service server 220 continues to add without limiting the number of font information for each area, that is, the font information if there is some room in the storage space of the user terminal 250 It can also be controlled to be stored.

On the other hand, if the search result in step S1507, the font providing information associated with the user "wisjjang" is not retrieved, that is, if the user "wisjjang" has not set a font other than the default font for its service page, step In S1513, the item server 210 transmits the cover page information to the service server 220. The label information has been described above.

In operation S1514, the service server 220 controls the received cover information to be stored in the user terminal 250 in association with the user "wisjjang". Therefore, once the cover page information is stored in the user terminal 250 that the font information associated with the user "wisjjang" is not stored once connected to the item server 210, the service server 220 refers to the cover page information and the basic information. Creates a service page composed only of fonts and does not reconnect to the item server 220 for requesting font information.

(2) When font information by area associated with user "wisjjang" is retrieved

Again, a method of providing a font service according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 15. As a result of the search in step S1503, when font information for each area is stored in the user terminal 250 in association with the user "wisjjang" in the user terminal 250 of the second user, the service in step S1515. The server 220 generates a service page using the font information for each region stored in the user terminal 250.

For example, the user terminal 250 may store font information for each region as shown in FIG. 19 in association with the user "wisjjang". The service server 220 may determine a font of letters displayed in each area of the user "wisjjang" from the font information for each area. A detailed process of generating a service page using font information set for each region has been described in detail in step S1510.

In operation S1516, the service server 220 transmits the generated service page to the user terminal 250 and provides the generated service page to the second user.

In addition, the detailed process of storing the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" in the user terminal 250 is the same as the configuration described with reference to FIG. 16. Accordingly, when the second user requests the service page once provided by the second user, the service server 220 controls to store the service page in the user terminal 250 of the second user. It can be seen that the area-specific font information associated with the service page is used.

Of course, in an embodiment in which the service server 220 limits the number of font information for each area stored in the user terminal 250, that is, the number of font information, the font information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" is displayed in the user terminal 250. It can be stored temporarily and deleted.

According to the present embodiment, since the service server 220 generates the service page using the font information for each region stored in the user terminal 250, it is not necessary to receive the font providing information from the item server 220. . That is, since the service server 220 does not need to access the item server 220 every time the service page is provided according to the request of the second user, resources consumed by the item server 220, information transmission and retrieval, and the like. This has the effect of decreasing. Therefore, the time required to generate the service page is also reduced.

Further, in general, users often visit the service pages of some acquaintances, and other service pages are rarely visited or sometimes visited. It can be seen that greatly reduced.

That is, according to the present invention, a unique font service is solved by solving an inevitably increasing server-side load problem in the process of providing a unique font service that allows a user to set different fonts for each service page area. It can be provided smoothly.

(3) When cover information associated with user "wisjjang" is retrieved

In addition, when the search result in step S903 is associated with the user "wisjjang" in the user terminal 250 of the second user in the user terminal 250, and the cover page information is stored, the service in step S1517. The server 220 determines that a font other than the default font is not set in the service page of the user "wisjjang", and generates a service page in which the characters of each area are displayed in the default font. Meanwhile, the size or color of the text displayed in each region may be a basic size or basic color designated for each region, or a custom size or custom color designated by the user "wisjjang".

In operation S1516, the service server 220 provides the generated service page to the first user.

In addition, the detailed process of storing the cover information associated with the user "wisjjang" in the user terminal 250 is as described above in the configuration related to FIG. Accordingly, when the second user requests the service page once provided by the second user, the service server 220 controls to store the service page in the user terminal 250 of the second user. It can be seen that it uses the cover information associated with the service page.

According to the configuration as described above, when the service server 220 generates a service page associated with the user "wisjjang", every time the access to the item server 210 to inquire whether the font information for each area is set in the service page Since there is no need to do so, the system load on the item server 210 can be reduced.

Hereinafter, the user "wisjjang" sets (or resets) a font in each area of his or her service page, and the user "wisjjang" according to font information or cover information for each area associated with the user "wisjjang" stored in the user terminal 250. The first and second embodiments of the processing method in the case where it is difficult to generate a service page of "" will be described.

When the font set in each area of the service page is reset, 1) when the usage period of the font item is determined as described above, and the font item cannot be used after the usage period has elapsed, 2) user "wisjjang" For example, in the backpack item page, a font applied to each area of the service page is changed.

In addition, in the case of setting a font in each area of the service page, for example, the user "wisjjang" sets a font applied to each area of the service page in the backpack item page.

First, the first embodiment will be described.

According to the first embodiment, when the user "wisjjang" sets (or resets) a font applied to each area of a service page in the backpack item page, that is, font providing information associated with the user "wisjjang" is generated and When stored in the second user database, the item server 210 notifies the service server 220 of this fact in real time.

After receiving the notification, the service server 220 receives the font providing information from the item server 210 even when the cover information or the area-specific font information associated with the user "wisjjang" is stored in the user terminal 250. Create a service page for user "wisjjang". In addition, the service server 220 transmits the font information for each region generated using the generated font providing information to the user terminal 250 to be stored in place of existing cover information or font information for each region.

According to the first exemplary embodiment, even when a service page is generated using cover information or font information for each area stored in the user terminal 250, if the user "wisjjang" sets (or resets) font information for each area, the setting matters are set. It will be reflected in the service page of this user "wisjjang" in real time.

Next, a second embodiment will be described.

According to the second embodiment, the service server 220 may not reflect the fact that the user "wisjjang" set the font information on the service page in real time. In the second embodiment, if the cover page information or the area-specific font information associated with the user "wisjjang" is found as a result of the search in step S904, the service server 220 before the service page is generated using the searched information. The timing of storing the information or the font information for each region is determined.

In addition, the service server 220 is based on the cover information or the area-specific font information stored in the user terminal 250 only when the period from the current time point to the determined storage time point is less than a predetermined time period, for example, 2 hours. Create the service page.

On the other hand, if the period from the current time point to the determined time point has elapsed for two hours or more, the service server 220, despite the cover information, performs each step of step S905 or less to generate / produce a service page. to provide. That is, the service page is generated based on the font providing information or the cover information obtained from the item server 220.

In the service server 220 according to the second exemplary embodiment, even when the cover information associated with the user "wisjjang" is stored in the user terminal 250, when the storage time is considerably passed, the user "wisjjang" is font information for each area. Determining that there is a possibility of setting or resetting the, and actually obtains the font information and the like set in each area of the service page directly from the item server 220.

The implementer of the present invention may adopt the first embodiment when the fact that the font information for each region of the user "wisjjang" is to be reflected in the service page of the user "wisjjang" in real time may be adopted, and the system load is considered. The second embodiment may be adopted to reduce the frequency of connection with the item server 220 to some extent.

Further, when the user "wisjjang" sets the font information for each area, when the second user and the user "wisjjang" are the same, the first embodiment is adopted, and the second user and the user "wisjjang" are the same person. If not, it may be adopted in the second embodiment.

That is, the user "wisjjang" is likely to request his service page immediately after setting the font information for each area of his service page to see if the setting is properly reflected in his service page. In such a case, it is desirable to reflect the setting contents in the service page in real time. Therefore, the service page is generated according to the first embodiment to increase user satisfaction. In other cases, the service page is generated according to the second embodiment. The load of the item server 220 may also be reduced.

Meanwhile, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if only the font information for each region is stored in the user terminal 250, and if the font information for each region is not retrieved, step S905 of FIG. 10 may be performed. have.

The font service providing method according to the present invention has been described above. According to the present embodiment, the user "wisjjang" may designate a font in a corresponding font for each area of his or her service page so that the characters may be displayed in the corresponding font, thereby making the service page more beautiful. In addition, the load problem in the service server 210 or the item server 220 which occurs in the process of providing a font service for setting different fonts for each region may be solved.

Hereinafter, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the second user registers content in a specific area of the service page of the user "wisjjang", and when the content includes text, the text is stored in the first item. A description will be given of a process of providing a font service for displaying a character having a font set by the user for the specific area. In the present embodiment, the second user registers content in a service page that is one of the personal community spaces of the user "wisjjang," for example. However, the second user is not in the personal community space but in the public community space. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the same method can be applied when registering content including text.

A method of providing a font service according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 20.

In a manner similar to the configuration described with reference to FIG. 3, the item server 210 stores font information and area information associated with the font information for each user in the third user database as shown in FIG. 9 (S2001). ).

In operation S2002, the service server 220 generates and provides a service page according to a connection request of the second user. In particular, when the second user requests a service page that is a personal community space, a detailed process of providing the service page to the second user has been described with reference to FIG. 15.

The first user who has received the service page inputs the content to the service server 220 for a specific area, for example, a post area, in which the user is allowed to register content among the service pages in step S2003. .

In operation S2004, when text is included in the input content, the service server 220 requests the item server 210 for font information associated with the second user and the specific region.

In step S2005, the item server 210 receiving the request searches for font information associated with the second user and associated with the specific area by referring to the third user database and transmits the font information to the service server 220. Referring to FIG. 19, when the user identifier of the second user is "kkue", the item server 210 searches for font information 901 which is font information associated with the post area and the second user, and retrieves the service server ( 220).

The service server 220 receiving the font information 901 from the item server 210 in steps S2006 and S2007 may display the text input by the second user in yellow text. Update to provide to the second user.

Therefore, even when the second user registers content not only in his or her own service page but also in a predetermined area of another person's service page or a service page that is a public community space, the text included in the content is designated by the user. It can be displayed in the set font.

Therefore, when a plurality of users access and register the content, the service page becomes more colorful because characters written in various fonts are displayed in one area (for example, a post area), and users can access their own content. You will feel satisfied that you can decorate it beautifully.

In the above, the user can set the font displayed in each area on his service page, which is a personal community space, and the font of the text input by the user in a specific area of the personal community space or public community space. Each method has been described, but the two methods may be performed independently of each other, or may be performed in parallel or in combination with respect to a predetermined service page.

That is, the font service providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a font set by the user "wisjjang" with respect to the service page of the user "wisjjang" and an area such as a title, a self-introduction, and a category of the service page. When the user "kkue" who visited the service page of the user "wisjjang" inputs text into the post area of the service page while displaying the characters, the text has the font set by the user "kkue" for the post area. It can be converted to text and displayed.

In addition, when general users other than the operator of the service page or the like input text into an area where content can be registered, such as a post area, the item does not use the font information for each area stored in the user terminal of the user, without using an item. There is a difference from the above-described embodiment in that the font information of the text is determined by requesting the server 220 for font information for each region associated with the second user each time.

In addition, embodiments of the present invention include computer-readable media containing program instructions for performing various computer-implemented operations. The program recorded on the computer readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc. alone or in combination. The media may be those specially designed and constructed for the purposes of the present invention, or they may be of the kind well-known and available to those having skill in the computer software arts.

Hereinafter, a font service providing system according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 21. The font service providing system 2100 according to the present embodiment includes a user database 2101, a service page database 2102, a user input unit 2103, a search unit 2104, a font information check unit 2105, and a service page generation unit. 2106.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the user database 2101 maintains font providing information including font information and area information associated with the font information for each user. The area information is information for identifying each area of the service page divided into a plurality of areas, and the font information is information for determining a font (font) of letters displayed in the area identified by the area information. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the user database 2101 maintains font providing information including font information set for an object included in each area of a service page for each user. In the present specification, a set of font informations respectively set in an object included in one area is called a font information list.

The users may register fonts, etc., of the characters displayed in a specific area of their service page by using the font icons secured by the purchase, receiving gifts, etc., and register them in the user database 2101. In addition, the user may set the font of the letters included in the content registered by the user, even if the service page is not his or her own, and register it in the user database 2101.

The service page database 2102 includes text associated with each area of a service page associated with the user for each user. Accordingly, referring to the service page database 2102, it is possible to know what text should be displayed in a specific area of each user's service page.

When the second user requests to provide a service page associated with the first user by using the user terminal 2150, the user input unit 2103 receives the request. The first user and the second user may be the same person.

When the request is input, the searcher 2104 searches the font providing information associated with the service page of the first user by referring to the user database 2101.

Also, the font information inspecting unit 2105 extracts font information included in each font information list included in the retrieved font providing information so as not to overlap each other. Therefore, when the first font information for the first post and the second font information for the second post included in the service page are the same, the font information inspecting unit 2104 may use only the first font information or the second font information. Extract.

In addition, the font information inspecting unit 2105 checks whether font data corresponding to the extracted font information is stored in the user terminal 2150.

When the font data associated with the extracted font information is stored in the user terminal 2150 as a result of the inspection, the service page generator 2106 uses the stored font data to generate a text image corresponding to the text of the corresponding area, respectively. Create

In addition, if the font data associated with the extracted font information is not stored in the user terminal 2150 in whole or in part, the service page generator 2106 may determine that the user terminal 2150 is associated with the extracted font information. Font data that is not stored in the user terminal 250 among the font data is transmitted from an external network. The storage location of the font data in the external network can be identified using a network address included in the extracted font information.

The service page generator 2106 generates text images corresponding to the text of the corresponding area by using the received font data.

In addition, the service page generator 2106 generates a service page in which the generated text image is displayed in the corresponding area. Therefore, the second user can be provided with the service page of the first user, the font of which is set for each region and each object.

As described above, the font information inspecting unit 1205 corresponds to the same font information in the user terminal 2150 through the process of extracting the font information so that the font information set for each area or each object overlaps. Prevents repeatedly checking whether the same font data is stored. Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the font can be set for each area or object of the service page, and even if a plurality of objects are included in the service page, the service page can be generated quickly and the system or The increase in network load can also be minimized.

Meanwhile, FIG. 21 illustrates a case in which each component of the font service system 2100 is implemented in a single device. However, this is merely an example, and according to an exemplary embodiment, each component may be provided for ease of management or load distribution. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the components may be implemented on separate separate devices, and a method having communication means capable of communicating between each device may be used.
