The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing detailed information in real time, and more particularly, to a method and a system capable of providing detailed information in real time to ensure reliability to a user.

In the past, if a user with an Internet connection surfed to access information and found a particular website (e.g. news or blog site) that they liked, bookmarks (favorites) would display the URL of that website. Stored.

Thus, in order to check for updates later on the website, the user had to re-enter the bookmarked URL, ie visit the website directly.

Recently, however, as many websites support syndication services, users can check information updated on their desired websites in real time.

The most representative syndication service is RSS / ATOM. RSS stands for 'RDF (Resource Description Framework) Site Summary', 'Rich Site Summary' or 'Really Simple Syndication', and is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language) Is the standard communication format for.

With the spread of RSS, awareness of the importance of content syndication, new functions, and the need for standardization are emerging.

At present, many discussions and efforts for standardizing content syndication have been conducted, but in fact, it is difficult to unify and standardize RSS standards. Recently, a project called ATOM for new standardization is underway.

According to the RSS / ATOM standard, content distributors (news, blog sites, etc.) automatically generate a list of updated content in XML format, and users can include it in an XML file through a web browser or RSS / ATOM reader. You can check the contents.

This XML file is called a feed, and the <item> field in the feed contains the title of the article (<title>), the category (<category>), the unique address of the updated content (<link>), and the body of the article ( <description>), creation time (<PubDate>), and the like.

Accordingly, the user can check the title or summary information of the posts that are updated on the website where he / she registered even if he / she does not visit the website. If a single article is selected, the web of the content distributor according to the unique address is You can check the full text of the article by accessing the site.

According to the related art, the feed information collected from the website registered by the user does not include the entire contents of the content (for example, a news article, etc.) but includes only the first 100 bytes of the original text. Through the feed information, only a small part of the title of the article and the body of the article are identified.

Therefore, the user can check only limited information through the RSS / ATOM reader. Therefore, in order to check the detailed contents of the content, the user must access the website that provided the feed information. There was a problem that you need to check the unnecessary information.

In addition, access to the website is made through the unique address included in the feed information. If there is an error in the unique address, that is, an incorrect address that does not exist on the Internet, or the network conditions are not good. There is a problem in that the reliability of the data is inferior because the details of the feed information selected by the user cannot be checked, and the inconvenience of attempting to access the website unnecessarily.

Meanwhile, according to the RSS / ATOM service, the feed information collected from various content websites is stored without filtering, but there is a problem that useless feed information having an error in a unique address is stored in a database as it is.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the method and system for providing real-time detailed information according to the present invention.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the present invention may include a web server 102, a collection server 104, and a database 106, wherein a user client 100 and a plurality of content web servers are provided over a network. (108-1 to 108-n).

Here, the network may include both a wired network including the Internet, a dedicated line, and a wireless network including the wireless Internet, a mobile communication network, and a satellite communication network.

The user client 100 is a terminal capable of connecting to a network, and may include all of a desktop PC, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, and a mobile broadcast system (MBS) phone.

Content web servers 108-1 through 108-n are web servers for sites where content is frequently updated, such as news, securities, and blogs, and the plurality of content web servers have unique syndication addresses (eg, RSS / ATOM address), and as described above, it generates feed information in XML format for newly updated posts.

In the following, the method according to the present invention will be described as being made in connection with a content web server supporting the RSS / ATOM service, but this is for convenience of description, and according to other standards to send and receive data as well as RSS / ATOM It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be applied even in the case.

When the user client 100 is connected through a network, the web server 102 processes the authentication process of the user, receives and registers at least one of the RSS and ATOM addresses selected by the user, and the latest contents at the registered address. It performs the process of providing the user with the title and summary information.

The collection server 104 performs a process of collecting feed information of updated content from a content web server supporting a syndication service, for example, an RSS / ATOM service.

The feed information is an XML file and generally consists of the following structure.

<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "euc-kr"?>

-<rss version = "2.0">

  </ item>

As described above, the feed information in the XML format includes the title of the updated article in the <item> representing the actual content of the content, the unique address, the author, the date of publication, and the category. ), And the collection server 104 receives this feed information and stores it in the database 106.

Here, the title of the article and the unique address are information that must be included, but the rest can be selectively included in the feed information, and in the following, the feed information collected primarily from the content web server is defined as the first feed information.

As described above, since the feed information collected from each of the content web servers 108-1 through 108-n includes only summary information about the title and the beginning of the article, the user must know the detailed information of the content web server. You can only check if you have access to.

In order to solve this inconvenience, the collection server 104 according to the present invention performs a process of extracting the details of the content by extracting a unique address in the first feed information.

Here, the unique address is a URL (Uniform Resource Location) of content such as http://www.ihelpers.co.kr/programming/tipntech.php?CMD=view&TYPE=0&IDX=458, as shown in the XML file structure. This unique address is information that must be included in the first feed information according to the RSS / ATOM standard.

Since the content updated in each content web server is written in HTML format, the collection server 104 according to the present invention extracts a unique address and requests HTML content corresponding to the feed information from the corresponding content web server.

The HTML information includes the entire contents of the updated contents, and the collection server 104 reads the entire contents and extracts detailed information within a preset range.

Here, the preset range may be an extraction range of an item or body content not included in the feed information, for example, the number of extracted bytes of the body content not included in the feed information, or a category, creation date, and creator in the first feed information. If information is not included, it may be a range including such an item.

According to the present invention, the process of extracting detailed information from the HTML information may be performed according to the HTML pattern defined in each content web server.

Each content web server that generates the first feed information of the content may have an independent content format pattern, which indicates how details such as title, body, category, creation date, and author are placed within the HTML document. Information.

The collection server 104 uses the pattern information of each content web server to efficiently extract the detailed information necessary from the HTML information.

Meanwhile, the collection server 104 according to the present invention performs the process of updating the feed information by including the detailed information extracted as described above in the first feed information, and the updated feed information is referred to as the second feed information. do.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, it is possible to determine whether there is an error in the unique address included in the first feed information by extracting the unique address and the detailed information.

The collection server 104 requests the HTML information according to the unique address extracted from the first feed information after storing it in the database 106 when collecting the first feed information. If the corresponding HTML information is not received, the collecting server 104 collects the first feed information. The server 104 determines that there is an error in the unique address, and performs a process of removing the first feed information stored in the database 106.

As described above, conventionally, when the unique address of the feed information is incorrect as the first feed information is stored in a database without filtering and provided to the user, the user cannot check the full content of the content and the content web server is unnecessary. Although a problem occurs in accessing the present invention, according to the present invention, the collection server may first determine whether an error of a unique address and provide only feed information without errors, thereby increasing reliability of real-time information.

In addition, the determination of the above error may be performed immediately when the feed information is collected, but since the failure to receive the HTML information may be a temporary phenomenon due to a problem on the network, the collection server 104 according to the present invention is When the HTML information according to the unique address is not received, the HTML information may be requested again at a predetermined cycle to determine whether the unique address is an error.

When the user client 100 is connected, the web server 102 according to the present invention transmits the second feed information of the content web servers 108-1 to 108-n registered by the user to the user client 100. .

Meanwhile, in the above, the process of collecting and providing feed information according to the present invention is performed in a separate server such as a web server and a collecting server. However, the method according to the present invention may be performed using only one server. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above may be performed in a plurality of servers.

The database 106 according to the present invention stores user information, RSS / ATOM address information, feed information collected by the collection server 104, and pattern information.

The user information field 400 stores information for authentication of a user, a user identification code, and the like.

In the address information field 402, RSS / ATOM address information registered by each user is stored, and the collection server 104 collects feed information from a content web server of the stored address.

The feed information field 404 stores the feed information collected from each content web server, and stores the first feed information generated by the content web server at the time of initial collection, but after extracting the detailed information from the HTML information. The first feed information is updated and stored as the second feed information.

The pattern information field 406 stores the pattern information of the HTML document of each content web server, and the collection server 104 efficiently extracts detailed information from the HTML document using the pattern information.

2 is a diagram showing the module configuration of a web server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the web server according to the present invention may include a user authentication module 200, an RSS / ATOM address information registration module 202, and a feed information providing module 204.

The user authentication module 200 authenticates whether the user is a legitimate user by using the user's ID and password information.

However, when the RSS / ATOM service is provided through a separate RSS / ATOM reader instead of the web page provided by the web server, the user authentication process may be omitted, and the web server 102 may be used by the user client 100. When the RSS / ATOM reader is running, the collected feed information may be transmitted using the IP address of the user client.

The RSS / ATOM address information registration module 202 receives and stores the RSS / ATOM address information selected or input by the user in the database 106. The feed information providing module 204 performs a process of providing the collected feed information to the user client 100.

In the present invention, the feed information transmitted to the user client 100 is not the first feed information including the title and summary information, but the second feed information including the detailed information extracted by the unique address.

Therefore, the user can look at the main contents of the updated content even without directly accessing the content web server.

The feed information collection module 300 performs a process of collecting feed information on newly updated content from each content web server.

The first feed information is stored in the database by the feed information collection module 300, and the unique address extraction module 302 extracts the unique address from the collected first feed information.

As described above, the unique address means the URL of the content to be updated.

The detailed information extraction module 304 receives the content information corresponding to the corresponding feed using the extracted unique address.

Here, the received content means a web document written in HTML format, and detailed information is extracted from the HTML information.

Extraction of the detailed information according to the present invention may be performed according to a preset range, and information about a body content, a category, a creation date, a creator, and the like as much as a preset number of bytes not included in the first feed information may be extracted.

On the other hand, the error detection module 306 determines whether the HTML information according to the extracted unique address is received.

As described above, even if the first feed information is collected, the error address module 306 according to the present invention determines whether the HTML information according to the unique address is received because the unique address included therein may be an incorrect address. If the HTML information is not received, the process of deleting the previously stored first feed information is performed.

In this case, the error detection module 306 may not immediately delete the feed information determined to exist, but may request HTML information according to the unique address every predetermined period to determine whether the error exists.

Accordingly, reliable data can be provided to the user.

However, if there is no error in the unique address, the detailed information may be extracted from the HTML information as described above, and the feed information updating module 308 may use the extracted first information to store the second feed information using the extracted detailed information. The second feed information may be provided when the user client 100 is connected.

On the other hand, since the HTML information can be configured according to the unique HTML pattern of each content web server, when the HTML pattern is known in advance, the extraction process of the detailed information can be made more efficient.

To this end, the HTML pattern registration module 310 according to the present invention registers the HTML pattern for each content web server in advance.
