Description

Automated Method for Filling Windows for Gaining a Membership of a Web-Site}

The present invention relates to a method for simplifying a membership registration process to a website, and more particularly, to store and manage various personal information of an Internet user and to display a member registration screen of a specific website. The present invention relates to a method for automating the registration process for automatically or manually inputting information.

As the distribution and exchange of information based on the Internet is active, numerous websites are appearing with it. It is common for websites to encourage users to join as members in order to satisfy the profit structure of the Internet industry, regardless of paid or free. At this time, websites allow members to input various personal information. Many websites also require you to register as a member to identify or use the substance of your content or services.

However, entering the user's personal information on the website is not only a fear of information leakage but also a very cumbersome task. Therefore, even if many Internet users find a website that they are interested in while surfing the Internet, the reality is that it is unusual to move to another place without checking the reality of the website because of the complicated and inconvenient membership stage.

On the other hand, even if a site is already registered as a member, login information, that is, an ID and a password, is always entered at the time of a new connection, and a user who registers to a plurality of sites has a great inconvenience in remembering and entering each ID and password. I feel it.

As such, although the registration process and login process of the website are essential for the profit and security of the website administrator, it is a necessary evil that has the side effect of reducing the user's access to the site.

Therefore, there is a need for a method that can simplify the website registration procedure and login process of Internet users.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method by which an Internet user can conveniently register on a website on the Internet.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for conveniently logging in to a website to which an Internet user is registered as a member.

The present invention for achieving the above object, relates to a website member registration method comprising a personal information input step, membership confirmation step and a member information writing step.

In the personal information input step, the Internet user enters information on personal information such as his / her name, date of birth, address, and contact information, and stores the information in the personal information DB. When you access the website, it is checked whether you are a member of the website.

The member information writing step is a step that is processed when it is confirmed that the user is not a member in the member checking step, and checking whether there is a member registration form on the displayed screen and corresponding to each input window of the member registration form. Inputting information of each field of the information DB is performed.

In general, if you wish to register as a member of the website, some or all of the information, such as your name, age, gender, occupation, occupation, family relationship, nationality, address, contact, email address, self-introduction, ID, password, etc. It is common to enter. Therefore, the above information is stored in the personal information DB. In this case, the ID or password may be duplicated depending on the policy of the website or the number of members. Therefore, it is preferable to set a plurality of spare IDs or passwords.

Meanwhile, a method of recognizing various input forms and recognizing fields of a specific input window will be described in detail in the following embodiments.

In the present invention, the member information writing step may be specifically performed in one of two ways.

The first method is a manual method. When the subscription form is displayed on the screen, the personal information is displayed in a certain form (hereinafter referred to as "information DB form") from the personal information DB correspondingly. The user can repeat ① drag-and-drop information on the information DB form corresponding to each input field of the subscription form and drag it to the input window of the input field, or ② input the cursor of the subscription form. When the information of the information DB form corresponding to the window is clicked, the information is automatically entered in the input window, and then a tab is operated to repeat the method of moving the cursor to the next input window (click-and-tab). Fill out the information. In this case, the click-and-tab method can be programmed and automated.

The second method is a method in which the source code of the screen is analyzed to recognize a field name of a specific input window when a member registration form is displayed, and automatically inputs field information of a corresponding personal information DB into the input window (one click). This can also be programmed and automated.

The present invention further provides a method for automatically inputting a login ID and password in a manner similar to the above when logging in to a website which has already registered as a member.

To this end, in the information input step, the user inputs additional login information such as an address, a login ID, and a password of a website already registered as a member, and stores the login information in a login information DB, and as a result of the member information writing step, the website If you are registered as a member, the login information such as the address, login ID and password of the website is stored in the login information DB. Subsequently, when the user is confirmed as a member of a specific website, the user checks whether there is a login form on the displayed screen, and simplifies the login step by inputting information of each field of the login information DB corresponding to each input window of the login form. . In this case, the specific input method may select any one of ① and ② described above.

On the other hand, the name of a field for inputting the same information may be different for each website. For example, Yahoo Korea (kr.yahoo.com) expresses login ID as 'Yahoo ID', password as 'password', full name as 'name', and nationality as 'country'. On the other hand, Empas (www.empas.com) expresses login ID as 'member ID', password as 'member password', name as 'name' and nationality as 'nationality'.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is necessary to prepare a similar index DB that summarizes terms similar to each field name of the personal information DB and the login information DB. For example, similar names of 'name' in the similar index DB are 'name, name, name, title, ...', and similar words of 'password' are 'password, password, access number, password, member password'. , Connection password, ... 'is preferable.

By the similarity index DB, when the user accesses the website and the subscription form or the login form is displayed on the screen, each input window field name of the form is extracted and the similar index DB is queried to find a field name similar to the input window field name. It is possible to automatically enter the information of the personal information DB or login information DB field having the input field of the similar field name.

The method of the present invention can be programmed to perform this operation and operate at the terminal level of each user. However, a particular web server accepts each user as a member and creates a personal information DB, a login information DB, and a similar index DB. It is desirable to manage collectively and to have a program written to enable the method of the present invention to operate on a user's terminal when a user who is a member joins or logs in as a member of another website. At this time, the personal information DB and login information DB may be stored in the terminal of the member as well as the operation web server.

Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The drawings and the embodiments are only illustrative for describing the present invention, and thus the technical scope of the present invention is not limited or changed.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that there is a web server that mediates the method of the present invention, and the user has previously registered as a member of the web server to create a personal information DB and a login information DB. It is also assumed that a computer program (hereinafter referred to as a "program") for carrying out the method of the present invention is installed in the web server and the user terminal. In addition, it is assumed that a pseudo-index DB is preinstalled in the web server.

First, a description will be given with reference to the membership flow chart shown in FIG. When the user accesses a web page of a specific website through the Internet (S101), the program analyzes the source code of the web page to check whether there are a plurality of <INPUT> tags, and refers to a similar index DB to <INPUT>. It is checked whether a term similar to, for example, a 'name' exists near the tag (S102). In other words, it is to check whether a registration page as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed. For example, when there are a plurality of <INPUT> tags and 'name' similar to 'name' exists as adjacent to the <INPUT> tag as in the example of the source code of the web page of the registration window shown in FIG. It is recognized as a member registration page.

When the existence is confirmed, the information of the personal information DB (FIG. 5) field corresponding to the basic term for the term adjacent to the <INPUT> tag is copied to the input window adjacent to the term by referring to the pseudo-index DB (FIG. 4). (S103). That is, as shown in FIG. 3, terms such as 'ID', 'member password', 'name' and 'resident registration number' adjacent to the <INPUT> tag are referred to in the similar index DB of FIG. Decode the password, name and resident number, and copy the corresponding information 'one06', '1237', 'Hong Gil-dong' and '740315-1276242' in the personal information DB field of FIG. 5 into adjacent input windows, respectively. It is. The results of filling in each input window of the member input form in this manner are shown at the bottom of FIG.

If the user wants additional information other than the information stored in the personal information DB, by manually typing and clicking the member registration button, membership registration is completed (S105 and 106) and the website is logged in (S109). When the registration is completed, the address, the ID, and the password information of the website are stored in the login information DB (S108).

An automatic login process will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

First, when a user accesses a webpage of a specific website through the Internet (S121), the program analyzes the source code of the webpage to confirm the address of the webpage and refers to the user's login information DB (FIG. 7). Check whether the user has already registered as a website (S122). If the member is not a member, the member flow described above is performed. If the member is a member, the program checks whether a term similar to 'ID' and 'password' exists near the <INPUT> tag in the source code of the web page (S123). ). If it doesn't exist (that is, if the login form doesn't appear), it stops further processing until you access another web page.

When terms similar to 'ID' and 'password' exist on the web page, the program refers to the similar index DB and the login information DB, and copies and inputs the login information corresponding to the address of the website in the corresponding input window (S124). When the user clicks the login button, the user logs in to the website (S125).

Since the program checks the existence of the login input window and copies the login information into the corresponding input window with reference to the similar index DB and the login information DB, the same as in the member registration flow, a separate drawing and description are omitted.

In the above process, if the program is installed on a specific server and the user's (web browser) is connected to a third website in connection with the terminal of the user who is a member, and the member registration form or login form is displayed, the program is executed. If the appropriate information is entered in the input window of the member registration form or the login form with reference to the similar index DB, the personal information DB, and the login information DB, it is possible to operate the method according to the present invention on the Internet. In this case, the changed personal information or newly generated login information is stored in the server for each member and automatically recorded in the terminal of each member (FIG. 8).

The method according to the present invention automatically requests or clicks only by using the personal information and login information that is input and stored once in advance in the process of requesting membership information from a website or logging in to a website that has already been registered as a member. By inputting information, convenience of the Internet user is increased.

In addition, the website side is inconvenient to enter the registration information, so that Internet users who do not want to sign up more easily to sign up and log in can increase the exposure of their website.

In addition, convenience is provided to collectively manage various personal information and login information for membership registration.
