Step 3: The user certificate issued through the authentication process with the authentication server 40 connected through the Internet is stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10, and the authenticated user certificate is stored in the portable personal information storage medium ( If it exists in 10), it skips the process of issuing a separate certificate and authenticates the user through authentication password verification.

Step 4: When logging in to the membership web site 50, a log for automatically logging in using the log-in information stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10 in response to the web site server information. -In process step.

5a, b according to an automatic log-in method and a semi-auto log-in method, a preferred embodiment of the web site automatic log-in processing method in a user computer to which the portable personal information storage medium 10 is connected according to the present invention. And it will be described in detail below through Figure 6a, b. Here, the performing subject is the computer 20, and in the following description, it means a process controlled by the computer 20 unless there is a mention of an operation of a specific component.

5A and 5B are an automatic log-in process flow chart according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. 5A illustrates a case where the web site 40 to be logged in is an affiliate, and FIG. 5B illustrates a flow when the web site 40 is a non-affiliate company.

First, in step 201 of FIG. 5A, if the member web site 50 that wants to log in is an affiliate, it compares and determines the web site information of the portable personal information storage medium 10 and proceeds to step 202. In case of non-partnership, the process proceeds to step 241 of FIG. 5B. In step 202, authentication with the user in the affiliate. Thereafter, the computer 20 proceeds to step 203 and searches the DB of the web site of the affiliated company, accesses the DB related to the web site ID and the PWD, and stores the site stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10. After comparing the information, the ID and the PWD information, it is checked whether the yield matches in step 205. If the ID / PWD items match in step 205, the process proceeds to step 241 in which the corresponding ID and the PWD stored in the portable personal information storage medium are automatically entered and logged in, and the log- which is actually shown to the user. Proceed to the screen after printing. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4B.

However, if the ID / PWD item is inconsistent between the web site server 40 and the portable personal information storage medium 10 in step 205, is another user registered as an existing member registered with the corresponding ID and PWD ( The process proceeds to step 211), whether to select a new subscription (step 221) or move to the previous screen (step 231). If there is an existing member subscription in step 211, the process proceeds to step 215 and displays the ID and name of another subscriber recorded on the web site server on the display screen. Then, in step 215 and 217, the ID and PWD are changed through the user confirmation, and the changed information is stored in the registration ID / PWD DB 11B of the portable personal information storage medium 10. The portable personal information storage medium 10 is updated with the information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 241 and proceeds to the screen after the automatic log-in, and then proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

In addition, when a new subscription is selected by the user in step 221, a screen for registering a member site is called up from the web site DB and displayed. In step 225, the user information stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10 is automatically displayed. Follow the membership process. Then proceed to step 241.

On the other hand, if step 231 is selected to move to the previous screen proceeds to step 233 to go to the previous screen to surf the web by the user proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

Next, the flow in the case where the web site 40 is a non-partnership will be described with reference to FIG. 5B.

If the web site 50 is not an affiliate in step 201, the mobile station proceeds to step 241 to search for a moving location that can be moved using a tab (TAB) in the entire web site 50, for example, inputting an ID / PWD. Check the location, connection location, and new registration location. In this case, if it is determined that the moving position is determined, the DB item stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10 matches with the input item of the web site in step 243. The site information, ID, and PWD information are automatically entered to access the web site 50 and complete the login. In step 281, the automatic log-in screen is displayed to proceed to step 121 of FIG. 4B.

However, if there is a discrepancy in the DB item comparison result in step 243, is another user an existing member subscription (step 251), a new subscription selection (step 261), or moves to a previous screen ( The process proceeds to step 271). If there is an existing member subscription in step 251, the process proceeds to step 253 to display the ID and name of another subscriber recorded on the web site server on the display screen. Then, in step 255, the ID and PWD are changed through the user confirmation, and the changed information is stored in the registration ID / PWD DB 11B of the portable personal information storage medium 10, so that the affiliated site information and the new personal information are used as the new personal information. Update to the storage medium (10). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 281 and proceeds to the screen after the automatic log-in, and then proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

In addition, if a new subscription is selected by the user in step 261, the process proceeds to step 263 in which the user registers the screen of the registration site from the web site DB, and displays it. In step 265, the user is stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10. The membership process is automatically performed using the information. Then proceed to step 281.

On the other hand, if step 271 in which the move to the previous screen is selected proceeds to step 233 to go to the previous screen to surf the web by the user proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a semi-automatic log-in process according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the above-described automatic log-in method, a screen for inputting an ID and a PWD is displayed when accessing a membership site.

When the semi-automatic log-in process proceeds, the corresponding web site is opened in step 301. In step 303, a pop-up menu of a user right-clicking (right-clicking) on the log-in screen of the web site 50 is performed. In step 305, if the automatic login is selected, the web site name information is searched and the web site name information is compared with the log-in information stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10 in step 307. . Thus, if there is a matching website name, the process proceeds to step 341 to automatically enter the ID and PWD on the login screen of the website 50 to complete the login. In step 341, the automatic log-in screen is displayed to proceed to step 121 of FIG. 4B.

However, if the DB item comparison result does not match in step 307, is another user an existing member subscription (211), a new subscription selection (step 321), or a move to the previous screen? The process proceeds to step 331). If there is an existing member subscription in step 311, the flow proceeds to step 313 to display the ID and name of another subscriber recorded on the web site server on the display screen. Then, in step 315, the ID and PWD are changed through the user confirmation, and the changed information is stored in the registration ID / PWD DB 11B of the portable personal information storage medium 10. Update to the storage medium (10). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 341 and proceeds to the automatic log-in screen, and then proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

In addition, when a new subscription is selected by the user in step 321, the user proceeds to step 323 to retrieve and display a member registration site screen from the web site DB, and in step 325, the user stored in the portable personal information storage medium 10. The membership process is automatically performed using the information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 341.

On the other hand, if step 331 is selected to move to the previous screen proceeds to step 333 to go to the previous screen to surf the web by the user proceeds to step 121 of FIG. 4b.

As described above, the log-in process step may include; Automatically log-in by generating a tab event and automatically searching for the input location of the ID and password, and automatically entering the ID and password stored in the portable personal information storage medium at the corresponding location. Login method and when the user selects automatic login by right-clicking on the log-in screen of the web site, the log-in process is performed by automatically inputting an ID and password stored in the portable personal information storage medium. The semi-automatic log-in method can be selectively determined according to the user configuration of the system configuration.

That is, in the automatic log-in system configuration, the present invention uses a portable personal information storage medium 10 that communicates with a communication port of a computer, applies an identification and authentication process, and performs an automatic log-in process.
