Means 37 and means 39 for transmitting the retrieved web site information to the user terminal 10 at the time required by the user.

The DB 40 built in the push type server 30 includes a category-specific classification information DB 42, an input information DB 44, and an output information DB 46. The category information DB 42 for each category includes, for example, information classified by the user into categories "categorized", "medium", and "small". The "classification", "medium classification", and "small classification" information may include web site information belonging to the list, for example, URL information of a web site that the user wants to search, in addition to the list name. In particular, in order to search for customized information needed by a user and automatically provide it to the user, a keyword that can characterize the customized information is required. For this purpose, a keyword for search necessary to identify a web site is DBized in a "small category". . For example, if a user wants 'game programmer recruitment information', "large class" may have job information, "middle class" may have a computer, and "small category" may store URL information of companies that the user wants to work for. Search keywords such as 'game', 'programmer', 'recruit', 'recruitment', and 'job'.

The input information DB 44 includes input information that the user provides to the push type server 30. That is, the input information DB 44 includes search information necessary for searching for information required by the user, transmission period and place information, and the input information is updated and stored in the input information DB 44 according to the user's information input. do. The transmission period means time information when the user can receive the searched web site information, and the transmission place means a contact point where the user can receive the searched web site information.

The output information DB 46 includes web site information searched by the push type server 30 according to the search information stored in the input information DB 44. The push type server 30 automatically transmits the output information including the web site information from the output information DB 46 to the user terminal 10 at the transmission period. In this case, the web site information may be URL information, screen information captured by the web site, or text information.

The automatic information providing method 70 using the customized information automatic providing system 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 3 is a flowchart of an automatic information providing method 70 using the customized information automatic providing system 100 of FIG. 1.

First, the information required by the user in a state in which the push-type server 30 having the DB 40 including the category-specific classification information DB 42, the input information DB 44, and the output information DB 46 is constructed. Input information required to search for, for example, the step of registering the search keyword in the DB 40 of the push-type server is in progress.

That is, the user tries to access the push-type server 30 through the user terminal 10 (71). That is, the user attempts to connect by inputting the URL of the web site of the push-type server 30 to be accessed from the web browser 12.

Next, the user downloads and uses the information of the web site provided by the push-type server 30, that is, the web page 32 (72). The web page 32 includes a category information window 13 for each category and an information input window 15.

Of course, if the web site is a membership system, the web page 32 may further include a login window generally known. A member who accesses the personalized automatic information providing system 100 through a login may be configured to manage (add / delete) the output information DB 46 including his input information DB 44.

The category information window 13 for each category provided to the user terminal 10 basically provides a list corresponding to "major classification", "medium classification", and "small classification" information among the category information DB 42 for each category, and "small classification". The information may include a list of URLs of web sites that the user wants to search, and additionally provide keyword information for search that can characterize the customized information required by the user.

The information input window 15 includes a search information window 17 and a download information window 19. The search information window 17 is a window for inputting search information for searching for information required by a user based on the category information window 13 for each category, and may input at least one keyword or URL information. In the case of a keyword, the user may directly input the keyword, or a keyword is automatically input when a keyword provided in the sub-category information is selected. The transmission information window 19 inputs a transmission period and a transmission location.

Next, information is input to the information input window 15 (73). That is, information is input into the search information window 17 and the transmission information window 19. The input information is updated and stored in the input information DB 44 (73a). Up to this point, the input information required by the user is registered in the DB 40 of the push-type server 30.

Subsequently, the push type server 30 substitutes the information search through the wired / wireless communication network 20 based on the search information input to the search information window 17. First, the push type server 30 accesses an arbitrary web site 52 through periodic web surfing based on the search information (74). Of course, when URL information is stored in the small category of the input information DB 44, it connects preferentially to the web site of the said URL.

Next, the web site 52 extracts a text portion 75 from the web site 52 so as to determine whether the web site 52 to be accessed includes customized information required by the user, and then inputs the extracted information into the extracted text. Step 76 is performed to check whether the search keyword stored in the DB 44 is included. In this case, when the keyword includes the text, step 76a of storing the website information in the output information DB 46 is performed. The web site information may include at least one URL information of the web site, screen information captured from the web site, or text information. If the keyword is not included in the text, the new website 52 is accessed 74 and the above-described process is repeated.

Finally, the step of providing the retrieved web site information to the user proceeds. That is, until the transmission cycle is reached, the website information is stored in the output information DB 46 (77). When the transmission cycle is reached, the push type server 30 stores the website information stored in the output information DB 46. Transfer to the transfer location (78). The user may check the searched web site information downloaded to the transmission place through the user terminal 10.
