KR102271099B1 - Interest-based matching and offline meeting arrangement method between users using portable terminal - Google Patents

Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, an ability is measured on every item to be matched, and then, another user having an excellent ability or an ability similar to the measured ability can be matched, and, as a result, the other user having an ability optimal for a user can be matched to increase matching satisfaction. In particular, as an ability is measured by applying a Rasch model using a level or frequency inputted with respect to an item as a variable, an ability by item is measured with one single variable, and then, users suitable for the ability are matched with each other, thereby increasing matching satisfaction while becoming simple. Moreover, since items are allowed to be upgraded daily, weekly or monthly, even an item having a short trend cycle can be quickly reflected in accordance with its trend to increase the matching effect.

Description

A method of matching users based on interests and arranging offline meetings using mobile terminals {INTEREST-BASED MATCHING AND OFFLINE MEETING ARRANGEMENT METHOD BETWEEN USERS USING PORTABLE TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to an interest-based user matching and offline meeting arrangement method using a mobile terminal, and more particularly, a Rasch Model for items that can measure ability among items input when registering as a user. By applying it, it measures the user's ability for each item and turns it into an intelligent DB, and when the user selects an item to match, by allowing the user to select from other users who have the ability of a predetermined matching range based on the user's ability of the item, The matching effect can be further enhanced by matching with other users who have the most appropriate ability for the user's ability. At this time, by configuring such an intelligent DB to be upgraded on a regular, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, the matching effect can be further enhanced.

In general, as travel is made as individual travel, many matching methods have been developed to find locals to travel together or to experience various cultures while traveling with travelers of other nationalities. In the following (Patent Document 1) and (Patent Document 2), a technique related to a method of making friends using a network is disclosed.

(Patent Document 1) Korean Patent No. 10-1355639

The present invention relates to a method for introducing a friend and making a friend, and a system for the same, for forming a new network with other users within a limited range using a relationship-based network. With respect to the first user, each of the first user and the second user who is a friend of the first user receives status information indicating one of a plurality of different levels of status, respectively, based on the received status information, A third user who determines the status of the first user to the second user as either a public status or a private status, is a friend of the second user, and has a serial connection relationship with the first user using the second user as an intermediary; and According to the determined state of the second user of the first user, at least one of the fourth users who are friends of the third user and have a serial connection relationship with the first user using the second and third users as intermediaries Register the first user in the introduction pool. According to this, since the range of users that can form a network is determined by reflecting both the intention of users who want to make friends and the intention of the intermediary, there is an advantage that reliable meeting is possible.

(Patent Document 2) Korean Patent No. 10-0631708

A terminal that provides a push-to-talk service that allows you to introduce an anonymous friend after searching for a partner that meets the requested condition using the subscriber information of the presence server that supports the push-to-talk (PTT) service. It relates to a friend introduction system using a two-talk service and a method therefor. In the conventional PTT service, calls can be made only after obtaining the consent of the PTT user they know and registering in the management server in advance, so there is no way to obtain information about the anonymous users registered as PTT users. Calls are not possible, and there are many problems in using the PTT service because it blocks group activities among PTT service subscribers and calls attempts between anonymous users at the source. In consideration of this problem, the management server that manages PTT subscriber information registers subscriber information and then sets whether to disclose the information, so that the management server can collect and search the disclosed user information, and the standards required by the user by extracting matching objects from the disclosed user information and providing them to a user who wants to be introduced to an anonymous user.

In addition, various matching technologies are applied and used worldwide as follows, but there are the following problems.

(1) Meetup: As the world's largest 'activity' club matching service, it mainly helps foreigners and groups with the same interests to meet, but only 'language exchange' is active in Korea. It seems to have the same theme as the service, but it does not solve the structural limitation of 'group' matching and the risk of 'no-show'.

(2) Tinder: The service with the largest number of users worldwide in the foreign friend matching sector, but in the field of intelligent information DB and recommendation algorithm that developers are trying to conduct, data collection, analysis, recommendation, etc. through user profile information Although equipped with the highest level of technology, the theme is limited to 'sex dating', which causes inconvenience to many customers with wellness tourism content needs, and there is no recommended technology according to the accumulated activity of users.

(3) Airbnb Trip: As a tourism content sales and purchase service launched in 2016 by the 'Airbnb' service operator, which analyzes the relationship between accommodation conditions and 5 billion data related to reservations and calculates and recommends them using an algorithm based on modeling. There is a limit to the format of meeting locals and travelers, but the user relationship is set as 'seller' and 'buyer' and develops in the form of purchasing services.

(4) Couchsurfing: A platform with over 15 million 'travelers' customers worldwide. Travelers can find local friends through the 'Hangout' function, but due to technical inadequacy, it is only at the level of a 'Bulletin Board', and matching through a simple 'comment' format, along with the inherent limitation that the originating service was 'accommodation sharing' It has technical limitations in that respect.

(5) Klook: Starting from Hong Kong, it is a service that sells various tickets such as tourism contents, activities, and F&Bs throughout Asia. It is characterized by price competitiveness and high quality of contents, but it does not have a user community or information exchange function. It is recognized as an 'app that you write and erase only when you go'.

(6) My Real Trip: The domestic (Korea) version of Klook, which sells local tourism contents to Korean tourists traveling abroad, but can only be used by Korean travelers for overseas travel, and is a local content for inbound tourists. It is difficult to stimulate tourism.

(7) WAUG: As a tourism content reservation and purchase platform, it is characterized by focusing on Southeast Asia and making direct contracts with companies, but it is not strategically approaching the aviation and accommodation markets, and it is understood that it is concentrating solely on activities.

Korean Patent No. 10-1355639 (Registration Date: 2014.01.20) Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0631708 (Registration Date: September 27, 2006)

The present invention takes this point into consideration, and by measuring the ability of each user for the items requiring matching, and configuring to match other users with similar or superior abilities to the user's ability based on the measured ability, the user The purpose of this is to provide a method for matching users based on interests and arranging offline meetings using a mobile terminal that enables matching with other users with the optimal ability to match, thereby increasing the matching satisfaction.

In particular, the present invention uses the level or frequency input by each user for the item as a variable in this way of matching the items, and measures the user's ability by applying the Rasch Model, thereby measuring each user's ability through one variable. A method of matching users based on interests and arranging offline meetings using a mobile terminal that is simple and can further increase the matching satisfaction by measuring the ability of each item and then matching users of similar or superior levels with each other It serves a different purpose to provide.

In addition, the present invention configures the items used to measure the ability to be upgraded on a regular, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, so that items that can be changed frequently in a short time such as fashion, design, and art performances are also described. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for matching users based on interests and arranging offline meetings using a mobile terminal, which allows the trend to be reflected quickly to further enhance the matching effect.

In order to achieve this object, the interest-based user matching and offline meeting arrangement method using a portable terminal according to the present invention for achieving this object is a matching method in which an application stored in the relay server 2 is downloaded to the user's portable terminal 1 and used. A first step (S1) of registering as a user by inputting items including nationality, gender, language used, self-introduction, interests, disposition and photo registration into the relay server 2; Among the input items, the ability of each item is measured with the Rash model to form an intelligent DB for each item, and a user who wants to match searches for a counterpart in the intelligent DB by setting at least one item as a matching condition. a second step (S2) of suggesting matching; a third step (S3) of allowing the user who received the matching proposal to accept the matching and open a chat room or reject the matching proposal; a fourth step (S4) of suggesting an offline meeting using a communication means when chatting in an open chat room and wanting to meet offline; When an offline meeting appointment is agreed upon, a fifth step (S5) of deducting deposit points from points previously charged by both users and confirming an offline meeting proposal; a sixth step (S6) of checking whether users who promised each other met at the time and place determined by the offline meeting proposal using the check-in function using GPS technology; And when the meeting is made by checking the offline meeting, the deposit points are returned to both users, and if only one appears at the meeting point, the deposit points of the other party are not returned and if both users do not appear, both users A seventh step (S7) to extinguish the deposit points of; including; In the second step (S2), the matching proposal includes: a 2-1 step of classifying items that need matching among items input from the user; a second step of applying the Rasch model to the items classified in step 2-1, measuring the ability of each user and forming an intelligent DB; a step 2-3 of extracting other users or contents within a matching range of abilities from the selected items based on the user's abilities when the user selects at least one of the classified items; and a step 2-4 in which the user selects at least one user or one content from among the other users and the contents extracted in the step 2-3; The Rasch model used in step 2-2 is characterized by using the following equation.

In particular, the items requiring the matching are characterized in that at least one of networking, lifestyle, culture/art, language used, tendency, food and beverage, activity, industry, travel, movie/music, and exercise/sports.

In addition, the matching range is set as a value added and subtracted by a predetermined range based on the user's ability, or is set higher or lower than the user's ability.

And in the first step, the item is characterized in that it is configured to be updated on a regular, daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

On the other hand, the communication means, it is characterized in that the chat room, text, e-mail, phone or video call. In this case, the communication means is characterized in that it enables the users to communicate with each other from the time of proposing the offline meeting in the fourth step (S4) until the confirmation of the offline meeting in the sixth step (S6).

In addition, the fourth step (S4) is characterized in that it is configured to accept or reject the offline meeting proposed by either user, or to make a reverse proposal for a new offline meeting.

In the sixth step (S6), a check-in zone is formed within a radius of 80 to 120 m from the meeting place by using a GPS function mounted on the other party's mobile terminal; In the check-in zone, if the other party enters the check-in zone for ±30 minutes from the date and time of the meeting, the meeting is confirmed as successful, and the check-in zone disappears after ±30 minutes from the meeting time or within the check-in zone It is characterized in that if the other party does not appear, it is determined that the offline meeting has not taken place.

In addition, in the sixth step (S6), if one party leaves the chat room before the offline meeting time after confirming the offline meeting schedule, the deposit points of the left party are not refunded, and the deposit points of the other party remaining in the chat room are automatically be refunded; When the check-in time arrives, both users cannot leave the chat room, but after the check-in time, they can leave the chat room.

Finally, after the fifth step (S5) is finished and before the sixth step (S6) begins, any of both users can request initialization of an offline meeting; When more than 24 hours remain until offline meeting, when a user proposes to reset the offline meeting schedule, if the other party accepts the offline meeting initialization, the initialization proceeds and the deposit points are refunded to both users. Deposit points are not refunded on both sides without proceeding, and if the other party does not accept the initialization within 24 hours from the proposal of one party to reset the offline meeting schedule, it is regarded as automatically accepted and the deposit points are given to both users as the initialization proceeds. be refunded; When less than 24 hours remain until offline meeting, when one party proposes to reset the offline meeting schedule, if the other party accepts the reset, the reset proceeds. Deposit points are not refunded to both users, and when reset is rejected, reset is performed. Without progress, the deposit points are non-refundable to both users; If the offline meeting time is exceeded without an indication of acceptance or rejection, the initialization proposal is automatically canceled, but deposit points are refunded to users who have checked in, and deposit points of users who have not checked in are extinguished.

The interest-based user matching and offline meeting arrangement method using a mobile terminal according to the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Among the items entered by the user, the items that can measure individual abilities for all subscribers are quantified, and other users who have items matching the user's ability to match the items selected by the user are matched. By doing so, the matching effect can be further enhanced.

(2) In particular, it does not simply match users or contents with the same matching item, but the level of the matching item and travel, for example, is a backpacking trip that is sub-categorized within a large category, or is it a package tour, in addition to simply liking travel in a large category? The matching effect can be further enhanced by matching users or contents with similar abilities or within a certain range by checking whether they like or city tours.

(3) On the other hand, the ability of such matching items can be measured with only one variable by using the Rasch Model, so it is possible to easily measure the user's ability for each matching item and form an intelligent DB. It is convenient.

(4) In addition, by configuring such matching items to be updated on a regular, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, the user's ability is quickly updated in accordance with rapidly changing trends such as lifestyle, art performance, and design. In this way, you can find a matching partner that best suits your abilities.

(5) On the other hand, when an offline meeting is initiated after proposing an offline meeting, if there is a large difference between the offline meeting time and the proposed initialization time, the initialization is performed even if the initialization is accepted and the points are refunded to both parties, but the initialization is rejected. It is possible to increase the credibility of the offline meeting proposal by not refunding points to both parties.

(6) In addition, if there is an initialization request 24 hours before the offline meeting time and the other party does not accept or refuse even if 24 hours have passed after the initialization request, it is regarded as a rejection and no intention to meet offline is regarded as an initialization automatic acceptance state This made it possible to refund points to both parties.

(7) And if there is no indication of acceptance or refusal before the offline meeting time, go to the offline meeting place to check if there are users who have checked in, and to refund the deposit only to the checked-in users, thereby increasing the reliability of the offline meeting. can be raised

(8) After matching, the check-in zone is opened based on GPS to check the meeting place and meeting time in real time, so it is easy to know whether or not to check-in. In addition, when not checking in, by providing the deposit of the non-check-in to one checked-in user, it is possible to increase the reliability of the matching counterpart.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, the terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, and the inventor may properly define the concept of the term in order to best describe his invention. It should be interpreted as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention in accordance with the principle that can be.

Accordingly, the embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only one most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all the technical spirit of the present invention, so various equivalents that can be substituted for them at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be variations and examples.

[Method of matching and arranging meetings between users]

In the present invention, as shown in [Fig. 1], the items input by each user 10, 20 using the mobile terminal 1 via the relay server 2 are digitized into the capabilities of each user, and any one user (10) is to be able to find and match other users (20) suitable for the ability of the item selected by (10).

In particular, when registering as users (10, 20), among the items stored in the relay server (2), the capabilities of the items that can be used when matching users are quantified in advance and made into an intelligent DB, so that any one user (10) ) selects at least one item to match with other users 20, extracting other users 20 with abilities appropriate to the capabilities of the selected item, selecting them from among them, and configuring the offline meeting to be even more effective that made it possible to increase

At this time, by adopting the Rasch Model as a method to quantify items and calculate them as abilities, the matching effect can be further enhanced by digitizing items easily and conveniently through a model that calculates abilities using one variable. did it

In addition, in the course of the offline meeting, when the offline meeting is initialized, the deposit is returned or expired through the offline meeting time, the requested time, and whether or not to check-in at the offline meeting place, thereby increasing the credibility of the offline meeting proposal.

Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, reference numeral “2” denotes a relay server that relays the matching between users according to the present invention. In addition, in [FIG. 3] to [FIG. 5], it is a flowchart showing a process performed in the matching method according to the present invention, and shows one flow connected to one through the parts marked with "A" and "B". And it is preferable that the matching method according to the present invention provides the application so that it can be downloaded and used in the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal 1 refers to a terminal that the user can easily carry and use, such as a smartphone, PDA, or laptop computer. .

end. Step 1

The first step (S1) is a step of registering as a user, as shown in FIG. 2 . At this time, to register as a user, input items including nationality, gender, language used, self-introduction, interests, inclinations, and photo registration. In particular, interests are to be used when searching for users that are suitable for them when matching so that users can arrange offline meetings with each other, and these interests can be broadly classified into large categories, or can be divided into medium or small categories under the large categories. For example, movies, sports, shopping, etc. may be classified as a major category, and sports within each major category may be classified into baseball, soccer, and golf as sub-categories. Of course, it is also possible to configure the user to directly input the sub-categories.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to use the large classification and the small classification used in (a method of extracting users in the second step) to be described below for the concern.

I. Step 2

The second step (S2) is a step of extracting other users suitable for the item selected by the user as shown in [Fig. 2], and suggesting matching to the selected user from among the extracted other users.

To this end, among the items input by the user in the first step (S1), the ability of each item is measured for items that other users are expected to use when searching for users or contents, and the user wants to make an intelligent DB and match. Lets search the intelligent DB through at least one item measured by ability for user search and display the results. Here, the process of turning the items into an intelligent DB uses a Rasch model that measures the ability as one variable, and details about this will be described in (User's Extraction Method) to be described later.

All. Step 3

The third step (S3) is a step of allowing the user selected in the second step (S2) to accept or reject the matching, as shown in FIG. 2 . At this time, if the selected user refuses to match, no matching is made, so another user is searched for and a matching suggestion is made again or the matching is finished. If the matching is accepted, a chat room is opened allowing both users to communicate with each other. Step 4 (S4) is performed.

Here, it is preferable that the selected user can check the self-introduction of the user who has applied for matching or the published data so that the selected user can accept or reject the matching offer as data.

la. Step 4

The fourth step (S4) is a step of suggesting an offline meeting through a communication means while chatting through the chat room opened in the third step (S3), as shown in FIG. 2 . In this case, as the communication means, any communication means can be used as long as both users can communicate with each other. For example, it is preferable to use at least one of a chat room, a text message, an e-mail, a phone call, or a video call.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the communication means is preferably configured so that both users can communicate with each other from the fourth step (S4) of proposing an offline meeting to the sixth step (S6) of confirming the offline meeting. Do.

hemp. Step 5

The fifth step (S5), as shown in [Fig. 2], is a step of confirming the offline meeting proposal. To this end, both users determine a place, date, and time to meet offline through the communication means. At the same time, the offline meeting proposal is confirmed by deducting a certain amount from the points previously charged by both users as deposit points.

On the other hand, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after confirming the offline meeting in this way (the fifth step described above), any of the users of both sides can initiate the offline meeting until the sixth step to be described later, in which both parties go to the meeting place to check-in. can At this time, the offline meeting initialization is initiated according to the proposed time (Ti), the offline meeting time (Tm), and the time that has elapsed 24 hours from the proposed time (Ti) at which the initialization is proposed. It changes as follows.

1. Offline meeting time ( Tm ), suggestion of initialization when more than 24 hours remain

If either one of the users proposes initialization, as shown in FIG. 3 , it is determined whether the difference between the initialization suggestion time Ti is 24 hours or more based on the offline meeting time Tm. At this time, when the difference remains within 24 hours, it will be described later.

If the difference between the offline meeting time Tm and the initialization proposal time Ti is 24 hours or more, the initialization proposal time Ti is proposed and the time elapsed after 24 hours Te is checked. At this time, if the elapsed time Te has elapsed, that is, if one day has passed since the suggestion of initialization and the offline meeting time has not yet passed, the initialization is regarded as automatically accepted and the deposit points are refunded to both users, respectively.

On the other hand, if the difference between the offline meeting time Tm and the initialization proposal time Ti is less than 24 hours, the counterpart waits for acceptance of the initialization. At this time, if the counterpart accepts the initialization, the initialization proceeds and both users receive their own deposit points refunded. If the initialization is rejected, the initialization does not take place and it is determined that an offline meeting will take place, so the points are not refunded to both users.

2. Offline meeting time ( Tm ), suggestion of initialization when less than 24 hours remain

Although either of the users of both sides suggested initialization, as shown in ⓐ in [ FIGS. 3 and 4 ], when less than 24 hours remain from the offline meeting time (Tm), it is initialized according to whether the offline meeting time (Tm) has passed. and the return of deposit points will be decided.

In other words, if initialization is accepted while remaining less than 24 hours from the offline meeting time (Tm), initialization is performed, but deposit points are not refunded to both users. The user's deposit points are also non-refundable. This is to not return the deposit points as it is considered to have broken the trust in the offline meeting.

On the other hand, when the offline meeting time (Tm) has passed, as shown in [Fig. 5] below, it is determined whether the deposit points are refunded through check-in or not.

3. Offline meeting time ( Tm ) when there is no expression of intention

When the other party does not express an intention to accept or reject until the offline meeting time (Tm) has elapsed after the initialization intention is expressed, both users go to the offline meeting place as shown in ⓑ in [Fig. 4] and [Fig. 5], which will be described later. Your deposit will be refunded depending on whether you check in or not.

That is, as shown in [Fig. 5], when there is no indication of acceptance or rejection of initialization until the offline meeting time Tm has passed, it is considered that both users have gone to the offline meeting place, and the sixth step ( Through the check-in function in S6), it is checked whether there is a checked-in user among both users. If one or both users check in, the deposit of the checked-in user is returned, and if either or both users do not check in, the deposit of the non-check-in user is forfeited.

bar. Step 6

The sixth step (S6) is a step of confirming whether the user and the user meet at the meeting place, as shown in FIG. 2 . At this time, the confirmation step may notify each other that the user who went to the meeting place at the offline meeting time and that the user has arrived at a meeting place set in advance, respectively. However, in the present invention, it is preferable that the user and the user can confirm that they have met when the other party enters within a predetermined radius based on the predetermined meeting place using the GPS function mounted in the portable terminal.

For example, a check-in zone with a radius of 80 to 120 m, most preferably a radius of 100 m, is formed based on a predetermined meeting place on a GPS-based map, and when the other party enters the check-in zone, the user and the user presumed to have met each other. Of course, if the other party is outside this check-in zone, it is determined that the meeting does not take place.

This is because, since there is some error in the GPS-based map showing the location, if the area of the check-in zone is too narrow, it may be determined that the user and the user are outside the check-in zone even if they actually meet.

In addition, the check-in zone is displayed only for ±30 minutes based on the meeting time set to meet offline, and if the other party does not have a check-in zone or does not enter the check-in zone, it is determined that the offline meeting has not been made.

Based on the check-in confirmation that the offline meeting has been made, the points received as a deposit are managed as in the 7th step (S7) below.

four. Step 7

The seventh step (S7), as shown in [Fig. 2], is a step of paying a deposit point. At this time, the deposit point payment is made separately when the offline meeting is made and when it is not made. If the meeting takes place offline, the deposit points received in advance are returned to both users.

And the case where the meeting did not take place is divided into a case in which one of the users does not appear and a case in which both users do not appear. First, when either party does not appear, the deposit points are returned to the user who appeared at the offline meeting point, and the deposit of the user who did not appear is destroyed. In addition, when both users do not come out, the deposit points received from both users are each extinguished.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as described above, in the second step (S2), the process of building an intelligent DB by digitizing the items that can quantify the ability among the items that the user stores in the relay server is as follows. Hereinafter, such an extraction method will be described.

(Method of extracting users in the second stage)

The method of extracting a user matching a user is, as shown in [Figs. 6] to [Fig. 9], after classifying items that need matching with other users from among various items input to the relay server 2 when signing up as a user, , for each item, each user's ability is measured with the Rasch Model to form an intelligent DB, and other users with appropriate abilities can be extracted and selected according to the user's ability to match. The matching effect can be further enhanced by recommending other users that match the ability of the item selected by the user so that matching can be made.

Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the interest-based user matching and offline meeting arranging method using a mobile terminal according to the present invention is performed through four steps as follows, and therefore, it will be described in detail by step-by-step.

end. Step 2-1

Step 2-1 is a step of classifying items requiring matching from among various items input by the user for a certain period as shown in [Fig. 6] and [Fig. 7]. In other words, as the items input by the user, if it is explained that joining the site is taken as an example, the subscriber's personal information, hobbies, and fields of interest are examples. Among the personal information of the subscriber, personal information such as gender, age, and nationality that can be used for matching, as well as hobbies or interests, act as important factors for matching as well as mutual interest among matching subjects when matching do. Accordingly, in the present invention, by classifying items that can be matched among items input by different users and making them an intelligent DB, users can easily find other users or contents that match their items and abilities.

Any item that requires matching can be used as long as at least two users show interest in each other and attract attention when searching for a matching target. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as such a matching item, as in [Fig. 7], as a large category, networking, lifestyle, culture/art, language used, disposition, food and beverage, activity, industry, travel, movie/music, and It is preferable to include at least one of exercise and sports. In addition, these matching items are a large category, and it is preferable to include a small category as follows. At this time, it will be readily apparent to anyone skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that the classification or naming of these large and small categories can be changed at any time according to the progress of the service.

1. Networking

2. Lifestyle

3. Culture and Arts

4. Language used

5. Inclination

6. Food and Beverage

7. Activities

8. Industry

9. Travel

10. Movies and music

11. Exercise/Sports

As shown in [Fig. 8], the items that need matching are stored and managed as one intelligent DB, or stored in each intelligent DB for each item and managed in an integrated manner, and the user's ability is measured for each item and converted into an intelligent DB. do.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to configure the item to be updated on a regular, daily, weekly, or monthly basis so that the ability evaluation for each item can be performed periodically. This is to further enhance the matching effect by configuring it to be reflected in various items according to trends that change over time, such as music or design.

I. Step 2-2

Step 2-2 is a step of measuring and quantifying the user's ability with respect to the items classified in step 2-1, as shown in [Fig. 6] and [Fig. 8]. In this case, the quantification of the user's ability for the item uses a Rasch model. Here, the Rasch model is a conventional technique for estimating the ability of a subject using only one variable. In the present invention, the number of users who selected each item is used as a frequency variable to measure the ability as shown in [Equation 1] below. did.

In [Fig. 8], SD was obtained by applying the frequency as a variable to the Rasch model for the sub-category item (kr_section_title) classified according to the large-category item (kr_category_title) as a variable, and this value was used as the ability of each sub-category item, or ( 1-SD) value and can also be used as an ability.

All. Step 2-3

In step 2-3, as shown in [Fig. 6], when the user who wants to match selects the desired item from the result of measuring the individual's ability in the classified item, the ability appropriate to the item ability of the user to match from among the selected items It is the step of extracting other users and contents with

For example, assuming that a user who is trying to match wants to match another user who is interested in networking, if he first selects 'networking', which is a major category (kr_category_title), several types of sub-category (kr_section_title) items are displayed as shown in [Figure 9]. is extracted At this time, although it is described here that the large category and the small category are sequentially selected, it is not limited thereto, and a search function can be used to directly select and search a small category item from among the large category networking using a search function.

On the other hand, as shown in [FIG. 9], the sub-category items extracted according to the selection of the major categories are not exposed to the user as they are, but sub-categories with appropriate capabilities are extracted and displayed in consideration of the user's abilities. In other words, the matching range is determined based on the ability of the user to be matched, and users who fall within that range are shown as matching targets. Here, it is preferable that the matching range be set as a value added and subtracted by a predetermined range based on the user's ability, or set higher or lower than the user's ability. This means that even if there is a big difference from the user's ability to match, such as travel destination recommendations, dramas, and cooking, there may be items that are not relevant, and there are too many differences based on the user's ability to match, such as the language used. This is because there may be items that cannot be communicated with or between users when they leave. Accordingly, it is desirable to extract other users within an appropriate matching range based on the ability of the user for the item selected by the user to be matched.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-described matching method, the case when a user finds another user is described as an example, but not only this, but also the user is based on his/her ability in the same way for content that he/she is interested in You can also use it to find or search for other content that fits this.

la. Step 2-4

In step 2-4, as shown in [Fig. 6], other user information or content extracted in step 2-3 is provided to a matching user, and the matching user arbitrarily selects from among several users and contents to be extracted step to do At this time, since the user who wants to match selects it in consideration of his or her tendency or intention among various users and contents extracted according to his/her ability, the satisfaction and matching effect can be further enhanced.

The present invention, which has been made as described above, digitizes each individual's field of interest as an ability, turns it into an intelligent DB, and compares the abilities of other users based on the ability of the user who wants to match, extracts an appropriate object, and shows it to the user By giving, it is possible to obtain an optimal matching effect suitable for the field of interest of the user who is trying to match.
