When predetermined event information is collected in the database system 300 as described above, the mobile terminal 100 or the server 200 receives information (ie, event information) related to a target for which the user wants to obtain event information. The event information may be searched only in the database system 300 without searching each network.

In the present specification, the event information may be used as a meaning including the event information itself or information (for example, link information) for identifying the event information. For example, the event information may be a web page searched through a predetermined network search or predetermined content included in the web page. Then, the event information may be the web page or the content itself, at least a portion of the web page or the content, or link information (eg, a URL) of the web page or the content. In addition, providing to the user may mean displaying the event information on the mobile terminal 100 or displaying or outputting predetermined notification information or a notification signal so that the user knows that the event information has been searched. have. According to an implementation example, the event information may be provided in a manner preset by the user (eg, sending a predetermined message to an e-mail, an instant messenger, or a predetermined social network service). For example, when event information about a predetermined target (for example, a user's acquaintance) is obtained, the acquired event information is displayed on the mobile terminal 100, or the predetermined notification information is displayed so that the event information is obtained. The mobile terminal 100 may be displayed or may indicate that the mobile terminal 100 outputs a vibration or alarm sound so that the event information is acquired. Alternatively, the event information or notification information may be transmitted to the e-mail address of the user.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for describing a method for setting a target for acquiring event information according to an event information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, referring to FIG. 4A, the acquaintance information module 112 is The list of telephone numbers stored in the mobile terminal 100 may be displayed. In this case, information on one person may be acquaintance information of the present specification. For example, acquaintance information 1 may include information about name 1 and phone number 1, and acquaintance information 2 may include information about name 2, phone number 2, work, and address. Acquaintance information 3 may include name 3, phone number 3, and information about the occupation. That is, in general, the mobile terminal 100 may have various types of lists including information on acquaintances of the user, such as a telephone number list, an address book list, and a diary list. The list may include only the names of acquaintances, the names and contacts of acquaintances, and may further include various attribute information of acquaintances such as work, occupation and / or address. Accordingly, the acquaintance information may include at least one attribute information, and the type and number of the attribute information included in each acquaintance information may vary.

Meanwhile, the acquaintance information module 112 may provide the user with a phone number list, which is predetermined acquaintance list information, as shown in FIG. 4A, and allow the user to select an object for which the user wants to obtain event information from the provided list. have.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4B, a predetermined history history (eg, recent call log, message call log, etc.) may be provided as the acquaintance list information, and a user may select a target for which the user wants to obtain event information from the provided list. You can also do that.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4C, a predetermined UI (eg, a text box, etc.) may be provided for the user to directly input information (eg, name, phone number, occupation, etc.) of the subject.

Of course, as described above, the acquaintance information module 112 may automatically specify all the acquaintance information included in predetermined acquaintance list information (eg, a phone number list, an address book, or a history history) as the target.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the control module 111 may obtain event information corresponding to acquaintance information specified by the acquaintance information module 112 in the network. The event information corresponding to the acquaintance information may be used to mean an acquaintance corresponding to the acquaintance information, that is, information related to a specified object or information inferred to be related to the object. For example, when the acquaintance information includes only the name of a specific person, the event information corresponding to the acquaintance information includes all information on the network or all information included in the database system 300 including the name of the specific person. It can be used to include. For example, the control module 111 may perform a search on the network using the name of the specific person as a search keyword and use the search result as the event information. Of course, in this case, the event information may be limited to only articles included in a specific newspaper or press media among the search results, and a user may search for such an event (eg, a search result of a specific website, a web service, or a specific search server). It can also limit information about. The user may also predefine information about the type of event he / she wants to know. For example, a user may want to obtain information about an acquaintance, which he or she sets only automatically for an event such as an obituary or a marriage. Then, the control module 111 may obtain (search) only information on a limited event in the search result. Of course, in some embodiments, the event information may be obtained for all event types and then provided to the user only in the case of event information corresponding to a preset event type.

The control module 111 may obtain the event information by using attribute information included in the acquaintance information. If there is only one attribute information (eg, a name), the event information may be searched for using the attribute information as a keyword. If a plurality of attribute information is included, a search may be performed using one attribute information (eg, a name), and it may be determined whether the remaining attribute information and the search result are not disposed. Therefore, when a plurality of attribution information is included in the acquaintance information and a lot of the attribution information is also exposed in the event information, the probability of obtaining event information that is actually matched with the acquaintance information, that is, information related to acquaintances of an actual user may be increased. Can be.

The control module 111 may obtain the event information in various ways. For example, as described above, content distributed on the network (including a web page) may be obtained as the event information through network search (eg, Internet search). To this end, content including at least one piece of attribute information (eg, name, phone number, job, work, address, etc.) included in the acquaintance information may be obtained as the event information. The event information may be obtained through such a direct search, or the event information may be obtained through various conventional techniques, for example, a related search and a related search.

On the other hand, when the control module 111 obtains the event information by searching the network or the database system 300 for specific acquaintance information, too much event information may be searched. Accordingly, the control module 111 may provide only the event information newly acquired from the event information corresponding to the acquaintance information to the user. For example, newly retrieved information (newly uploaded information, within a predetermined time (eg, 1 hour, 6 hours, or one day) from a time when the control module 111 performs a search or a search to obtain the event information, Only newly stored information, etc.) may be used as event information to be provided to the user. To this end, the control module 111 indexes the event information in chronological order, and does not provide the user with event information previously provided to the user and / or event information generated or distributed before the predetermined time. It may be. Therefore, the user is always able to automatically receive a notification (notice) only new information about his acquaintances. Of course, the new information means new information by the technical idea of the present invention and may be information that the user already knows through other paths. In addition, when the acquaintance information is specified, the control module 111 may automatically perform a search or a search for acquiring the event information at predetermined time intervals.

The notification module 113 may provide the event information obtained by the control module 111 to the user of the mobile terminal 100. To this end, when the event information is acquired by the control module 111, the notification module 113 directly displays the acquired event information, or displays or outputs predetermined information or a signal indicating that the event information has been obtained. can do. Alternatively, as described above, predetermined information indicating that the event information has been obtained may be output through an e-mail, a messenger, an SNS service, or the like.

Meanwhile, the event information providing system 210 as shown in FIG. 3 is a predetermined server 200 that can be wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal 100, or is installed in the server 200 to provide a technical idea of the present invention. It can be any system that can be implemented. That is, the event information providing system 210 may include an event information acquisition module 211, a reception module 212, and a transmission module 213.

The receiving module 212 may receive at least one object, that is, acquaintance information, from the mobile terminal 100. Then, the event information acquisition module 211 may obtain event information corresponding to the acquaintance information from the network or the database system 300. To this end, since the function and role performed by the event information acquisition module 211 are the same as or similar to those of the control module 111 described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Then, the transmission module 213 may transmit the obtained event information to the mobile terminal 100. Then, the notification module 113 included in the mobile terminal 100 may provide the event information to the user. In addition, when the server 200 searches for event information, the control module 111 outputs a predetermined control signal to the server 200 to control a search time, a search period, and the like of the server 200. Can be. For example, the control signal may include information about the acquaintance information, a search time, a search period, an event type, an event search target, and the like. Therefore, the control module 111 may transmit the control signal to the server 200 and control to retrieve event information according to the transmitted information.

The server on which the event information providing system 210 is installed may also be implemented with at least one data processing device defined by its function, and does not necessarily mean that the server is implemented with any one physical device. Accordingly, each component of the event information providing system 210 may be distributed to a plurality of physical devices. In the case of a distributed arrangement, an average expert in the art may easily deduce that the corresponding plurality of physical devices may be organically coupled to each other through communication to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

Meanwhile, as described above, the event information acquisition module 211 searches for the event information at a predetermined time interval, and when new event information is searched, pushes the retrieved new event information to the mobile terminal 100 ( You can also push). Alternatively, as described above, predetermined information indicating that the event information has been obtained may be output through an e-mail, a messenger, an SNS service, or the like.

Hereinafter, for the convenience of description, a description will be given based on a case where the technical idea of the present invention is implemented by the event information providing system 110 as shown in FIG. 2, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. An average expert in the technical field of the present disclosure may easily deduce that 200 may perform some of the functions or operations for implementing the technical idea of the present disclosure.

First, referring to FIG. 5A, as described above, the event information providing system 110 may provide event information to a user. 5A illustrates a case in which the notice information associated with an acquaintance (for example, name 1) is event information. In addition, as described above, link information on content in which the event information is found may be provided to the user.

The event information provided to the user may be information that does not correspond to an acquaintance specified by the mobile terminal 100. For example, if the acquaintance information includes only a name or only the name can be identified through the searched contents, it may not be confirmed whether the acquaintance is the acquaintance of the user or the same name. In this case, the event information providing system 110 may treat the event information as event information corresponding to the acquaintance information, and provide the event information to the user. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the acquaintance information module 112 included in the event information providing system 110 may determine whether the event information is the acquaintance information, that is, information matching the acquaintance of the user. The predetermined confirmation information can be received. To this end, the acquaintance information module 112 may provide a user with a predetermined UI (eg, a 'Yes' or 'No' button). The user can check whether the provided event information is information related to his or her acquaintance through actual content. The content may be confirmed by selecting the link information, and the content may include information that the user does not store in the mobile terminal 100, but the user knows (eg, a job, occupation, position, address, etc. of an acquaintance). Through this, the user can determine whether the event information is information related to his acquaintance. Then, confirmation information may be received through the UI (eg, a 'Yes' or 'No' button). When the confirmation information is received, the acquaintance information module 112 may store additional information included in the event information or content. In this case, the additional information may be stored to correspond to the acquaintance information. The information stored to correspond to the acquaintance information is stored to include the additional information in the acquaintance information, or separately stored through a predetermined connection (link) or a predetermined field so that the additional information can be checked when the acquaintance information is selected. Can mean being. For example, the additional information may be predetermined attribute information included in the event information or the content without being included in the acquaintance information. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, event information about object 1 may be provided to a user. The user can check the event information and can confirm whether the checked event information is information related to the object 1, that is, matching information. In addition, confirmation information may be input to the acquaintance information module 112. If matched information, the event information may include the address of the target 1 (eg, Seoul) or the company name (eg, company 2). Then, the acquaintance information module 112 may be stored to correspond to the acquaintance information by extracting the attribute information, such as the address, company name, etc. included in the event information. Then, the attribute information may be used when the control module 111 acquires event information later. For example, after searching for event information by name only, if other attribute information (eg, address, company name) exists in the event information but does not match the stored additional information, event information corresponding to the acquaintance information is displayed. It can be determined that no.

For example, in a result searched through the name of the subject 1, it may be determined that a search result whose address or company name includes additional information other than Seoul or company 2 does not correspond to the acquaintance information of the subject 1. Therefore, there is an effect that the suitability of acquaintance information and event information can be increased by using such additional information.

On the other hand, even when the acquaintance information module 112 receives confirmation that the provided event information and the acquaintance information do not match, the predetermined additional information may be stored to correspond to the acquaintance information. For example, event information related to object 1 may be provided to the user. Then, the user can determine that the event information is not related to the target person 1 who is his acquaintance, and can input predetermined confirmation information accordingly. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the acquaintance information module 112 may extract and store predetermined additional information (eg, occupation 1, Busan, company 1) determined to be unrelated to the subject 1. Subsequently, when the control module 111 searches for event information corresponding to the object 1, the control module 111 may not select the search result including the additional information, that is, attribute information not related to the object 1, as event information. Can be. After all, according to the event information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the attribute information for uniquely determining a specific acquaintance is not included in the acquaintance list information and the event information, information not related to the acquaintance is used as the event information. The uncertainty that can be provided can be reduced by updating the heuristic event information retrieval criteria through the user's confirmation action.

Of course, when the acquaintance information module 112 extracts and stores additional information from the event information, the acknowledgment information module 112 may receive confirmation from the user or allow the user to directly input the information. In addition, even in case of extracting additional information from event information, a predetermined syntax analysis method is used, a predetermined regular expressian, or a predetermined DB (eg, a DB for a company name, region, job, etc.) is used. It can also be used.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for describing a method of checking a list of event information for each target according to an event information providing method according to another exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the event information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may store acquaintance information, that is, event information provided for each acquaintance. The stored event information may be event information identified as event information matching acquaintances according to the above-described confirmation information. Thus, a user may check the history for events (eg, marriage, obituary, promotion, etc.) happening to a specific acquaintance and published through the network at a time. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, the control module 111 of the event information providing system 110 may receive a request for confirmation of event information from a user. Then, the control module 111 may request to input a desired object. Then, the control module 111 may check the details of the event information corresponding to the selected object and provided to the user. For example, when object 1 is selected by a user as shown in FIG. 6B, the control module 111 may provide events (eg, 2011. OO.OO. Obituaries and promotions occurring in 2011.XX.XX., etc.) can be provided to the user.

Therefore, of course, the event information provided to the user may be stored in a predetermined DB (not shown).

7 is a view for explaining that the user can set the type of events to be acquired according to the event information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the event information providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a technical idea of limiting the type of event information provided by the event information providing system 110. That is, a user may wish to receive as event information all the information that is publicly available or distributed on the network, but may only want to receive for some events that are considered important. For example, one may wish to receive or confirm only information about an event such as marriage, funeral, promotion, or the like. In this case, the user may limit the types of events that the user wants to check through the UI as shown in FIG. 7.

In addition, the event information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may limit the event information search target for searching for event information. For example, although all pages or network nodes included in the network may be targeted, a type of a search target (eg, a press article, a specific site, a specific service, etc.) to search for event information may be limited.

The event information providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, hard disk, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and also in the form of carrier waves (e.g., transmission over the Internet). It also includes implementations. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed over network-connected computer systems so that computer readable codes can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
