  The scope of rights of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications can be made by those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. .

  Hereinafter, the social networking service method and system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Further, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that a specific description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description is omitted. To do.

  As used herein, when any component “transmits” or “provides” data or signals to another component, the component transmits the data or signal directly to the other component. Meaning that data or signals can be transmitted to other components via at least one other component.

  In the following description, “server” means a server computer to which a user connects to use content, and when the capacity is small or the number of users is small, many servers are connected to one server. The program can be operated. In addition, when the capacity is very large or the number of people connected in real time is large, at least one server for operating one system can exist depending on the function of the server.

  The “server” in this specification may include a DB that means a functional / structural combination of software and hardware for storing information corresponding to each database. The DB may be realized as at least one table, and may further include a separate DBMS (Database Management System) for searching, storing, and managing information stored in the database. In addition, all data storage media and data structures that can be implemented in various ways such as linked list, tree, relational database form, etc., and can store information corresponding to the database are included.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a social networking service system according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the social networking service system includes a user terminal 10 and an SNS server 30 and may further include an authentication server 40.

  The user terminal 10 can be connected to the SNS server 30 via the communication network 20 to exchange data. Due to the characteristics of the social networking service, it is preferable that a large number of the user terminals 10 exist as shown in FIG. As an example, when any data is transmitted from the user terminal A10 to the SNS server 30, a user who is qualified to view the data is connected via the user terminals B, C10, and the like to perform the function of browsing. In addition, the user terminal 10 can serve as an authentication terminal in order to confirm whether the user terminal 10 is registered in an organization or a meeting.

  Such a user terminal 10 means a wide range of terminals including a wired terminal and a wireless terminal, and therefore, a PC (Personal Computer), an IP television (Internet Protocol Television), a notebook personal computer (PC), a PDA. (Personal Digital Assistant), Smartphone, IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications 2000) Phone, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) Phone, GPRS (General PacketSound Combo) Including band code division multiple access (Band Code Division Multiple Access) phones, UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service) phones, MBS (Mobile Broadband System) and other voice and video to / from different terminals, servers and systems Can be provided.

The communication network is a communication network that is a high-speed backbone network of a large communication network capable of large-capacity, long-distance voice and data services, and is a next-generation wired network for providing the Internet or high-speed multimedia services. And a wireless network. When the wired / wireless communication network is a mobile communication network, it may be a synchronous mobile communication network or an asynchronous mobile communication network. An example of an asynchronous mobile communication network is a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) communication network. In this case, although not shown, the wired / wireless communication network can include an RNC (Radio Network Controller). On the other hand, although a WCDMA network was given as an example, 3G
It can be an LTE network, a next-generation communication network such as a 4G network, or other IP network based on an IP address. The communication network 20 plays a role of mutually transmitting signals and data between the user terminal 10 and the SNS server 30 as well as a database, an authentication server, and other systems included in the present invention.

  The SNS server 30 is a web server or a Wap server that provides a social networking service to the user terminal 10, and includes all servers and equipment such as an application server. It plays a role of providing or playing data to the terminal 10. In particular, the SNS server plays a role in enabling the organization and the meeting to be managed and managed simultaneously through one social networking service, and the organization is a systematic organization with some internal rules and the like, For example, it refers to companies, institutions, political parties, associations, etc. Meetings are groups formed by unspecified number of people gathered through common interests and tendencies.

  The user terminal 10 of the member belonging to the organization is registered in advance in the SNS server 30 by an administrator before receiving provision of social networking service, and after the user terminal 10 receives only simple authentication at the time of connection Social networking services can be used. On the other hand, in the meeting, a member belonging to an organization joins by connecting to the SNS server 30 via the user terminal 10, or if the member is not a member belonging to the organization, a separate membership subscription is made via the user terminal 10. You can subscribe and use it through procedures. Therefore, the range of social networking services that can be used by the SNS server 30 differs depending on whether the user terminal 10 is a member terminal belonging to the organization. It is possible to obtain an effect that a communication space is formed that reflects all the characteristics and characteristics of the meeting where free activities should be guaranteed.

  On the other hand, the organization-specific database 31 and the integrated database 32 described above can be included in the SNS server 30 and can be formed as separate components and linked to the SNS server 30 via a communication network.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the organization-specific database 31 has DBs classified for each organization, such as organizations 1, 2, 3, and the like, and has a form in which data is not directly exchanged between the organization-specific DBs. The risk of leakage of information in the organization to the outside is remarkably reduced, and even if any one of the organization DBs is hacked, it is separated from the other organization DBs, so a certain level of security is guaranteed. Is done. Each organization DB is a space in which only members of the organization communicate, and stores data on known matters, messages, schedules, free bulletin boards, questionnaires, and the like.

  The integrated database 32 stores / manages data such as known items, messages, schedules, free bulletin boards, questionnaires, etc. for various meetings. Further, when the authentication described later is not performed by the separate authentication server 40, the integrated database 32 also stores / manages the telephone number and unique number of the user terminal 10, an additional authentication number, an e-mail address, and the like.

  The authentication server 40 determines whether or not the user terminal 10 corresponds to a member terminal belonging to an organization, a telephone number and a unique number of the user terminal 10 which are data for authentication required when a member joins, additional authentication Store / manage numbers, email addresses, etc.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a social networking service method according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process performed when a user terminal first connects to an SNS server in the social networking service method according to the present invention. . FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process performed when the telephone number or unique number of the user terminal is changed in the social networking service method according to the present invention. FIGS. 5 to 15 illustrate social networking according to the present invention. It is an illustration figure which shows the screen which a service provides. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15, the use of data for an organization or a meeting from the time when the user terminal 10 is first connected to the SNS server 30 will be specifically examined.

  First, a case where a user connects to the SNS server 30 via the user terminal 10 in advance and is confirmed to be a member belonging to an organization and / or a meeting and then connected again will be shown in FIG. Thus, when the user terminal 10 is connected to the SNS server 30 via the communication network 20 (S11), the SNS server 30 is connected to the member terminal belonging to the organization registered by the administrator. And whether or not there is a meeting registered by joining through the user terminal 10 in advance (S12).

  After confirming the organization and / or meeting to which the connected user terminal 10 belongs, the SNS server 30 provides an icon related thereto to the user terminal 10 as a main screen (S13). Thereafter, a process of activating the icon and using a social networking service related to an organization or a meeting will be described later.

  Meanwhile, in order to use a social networking service, a user downloads and installs a program from the SNS server 30 and first connects to the SNS server 30 via the user terminal 10 (S21). Based on The user terminal 10 first connects to the SNS server 30 not only when trying to use a social networking service for the first time, but also when a user who has already used deletes the program and then downloads and installs it again Including the case of trying to use it.

  When the user terminal 10 first connects to the SNS server 30, the SNS server 30 checks whether the user terminal 10 is a member terminal belonging to an organization and / or a meeting (S22). In the process of confirming whether the user terminal 10 is a member terminal belonging to an organization and / or a meeting, the SNS server 30 uses authentication using the telephone number and / or unique number of the user terminal 10. . On the other hand, not only authentication using the telephone number and / or unique number of the user terminal 10 but also authentication using an e-mail and an additional telephone number, which will be described later, can be performed via a separate authentication server 40. Yes, it can be processed by itself in the SNS server 30, but the following description will focus on a procedure in which a separate authentication server 40 is provided and authenticated.

  As an example, considering an authentication procedure using the telephone number of the user terminal 10, the SNS server 30 transmits an authentication request by the user terminal 10 to the authentication server 40 (S23), and the authentication server 40 10 is requested to input the telephone number of the user terminal 10 as shown in FIG. 5 (S24). Thereafter, after the user inputs the telephone number of the user terminal 10 corresponding to the authentication number via the user terminal 10 (S25), the user terminal 10 transmits the authentication number to the authentication server 40 (S26).

  The authentication server 40 confirms the authentication number transmitted from the user terminal 10 and generates an authentication result (S27). The authentication server 40 transmits the result of authentication to the SNS server 30 (S28), and the SNS server 30 grasps from the result of authentication whether the terminal is a member of a registered organization and / or meeting. (S29).

  Thereafter, as a result of authentication, when it is confirmed that the user terminal 10 first connected to the SNS server 30 is a terminal of a member belonging to a previously registered organization and / or meeting, the SNS server 30 A main screen is provided to the user terminal 10. However, as a result of authentication, if the user terminal 10 is not a member terminal belonging to a registered organization and / or meeting, the SNS server 30 displays a confirmation screen as shown in FIG. Is provided (S30).

  The confirmation screen selects an existing member and a new member. An existing member is a member of an organization registered by an administrator, but it means that the telephone number and / or unique number of the user terminal 10 of the member is changed and does not match, or the user meets in advance. This means a case where a member subscribes to use the social networking service, but the program is deleted and then installed again. The new member is not a member of the organization registered by the administrator, but is a user who wants to use only the meeting provided by the social networking service and is not registered because he / she has not joined the membership. Means. Subsequent procedures differ depending on whether you are an existing member or a new member. Consider this.

  First, referring to FIG. 4, when the confirmation screen selects that the user terminal 10 is an existing member (S 41), the SNS server 30 sends the user's e-mail registered by the administrator or the user in advance ( E-mail) or an additional telephone number is confirmed (S42). At this time, the additional telephone number is different from the telephone number of the user terminal 10 described above, and refers to a telephone number of a home or a company, a telephone number of another terminal 10 held by the user, or the like.

  Thereafter, the SNS server 30 transmits an additional authentication request by the user terminal 10 to the authentication server 40 (S43), and the authentication server 40 transmits to the user terminal 10 telephone authentication for the additional telephone number as shown in FIG. Then, e-mail authentication is requested (S44). Next, after the user selects telephone authentication or e-mail authentication via the user terminal 10 and inputs an authentication number (S45), the user terminal 10 transmits the authentication number to the authentication server 40 (S46).

  The authentication server 40 generates an authentication result using an authentication number (S47), and then transmits the authentication result to the SNS server 30 (S48). The SNS server 30 recognizes the registered organization from the authentication result. And / or ascertains whether or not the terminal is a member terminal belonging to the meeting (S49). After that, if it is confirmed as a result of authentication that the user terminal 10 that first connected to the SNS server 30 is a terminal of a member belonging to an organization and / or meeting that has been registered in advance, the SNS server 30 A main screen is provided to the terminal 10.

  On the other hand, when the user terminal 10 is selected as a new member on the confirmation screen (S51), the SNS server 30 provides the user terminal 10 with a member subscription screen as shown in FIG. 8 (S52). When a member joins, the user transmits to the SNS server 30 the unique number and / or telephone number, additional telephone number, e-mail, etc. of the user terminal 10 that should be confirmed as an existing member later through the user terminal 10. In this process, authentication procedures may be performed. Thereafter, when the member subscription is completed, the SNS server 30 provides the main screen to the user terminal 10.

  The main screen provided to the user terminal 10 by the SNS server 30 includes icons related to the organization and / or meeting to which the user terminal 10 belongs. As shown in FIG. 9, the icons may include icons for known matters, messages, schedules, free bulletin boards, questionnaires, and the like, and may further include icons such as schedules, electronic party membership cards, and electronic employee identification cards. Good.

  The present invention can use the organization and the meeting at the same time, or can use only the organization or the meeting. However, the management system differs depending on the importance of the data for the organization and the data for the meeting. Therefore, when the user terminal 10 activates the icon, the user terminal 10 receives data corresponding to the icon from the SNS server 30. At this time, whether the data is related to an organization. Receive data that is managed separately depending on whether it is relevant to the meeting.

  In general, since data related to an organization is preferably managed so as not to be exposed to an unspecified number of people, when the data is related to an organization, the SNS server 30 is separated for each organization by an administrator. Linked with the organization-specific database 31. In addition, since it is desirable that the data related to the meeting be managed in an integrated manner so as to facilitate the sharing of a large number of people, when the data is related to the meeting, the SNS server 30 integrates each meeting. Interlocks with the integrated database 32 to be managed.

  For example, in the case of a user who has participated in both an organization and a meeting, if any of public information, message, schedule, and free bulletin board icon is selected, as shown in FIGS. And the data related to the meeting are displayed as a list. In order to display data in a list in detail, if data related to an organization is selected, the SNS server 30 extracts the data from the organization DB in the organization-specific database 31 and provides it to the user terminal 10 When data related to the organization is selected, the data is extracted from the integrated database 32 and provided to the user terminal 10.

  On the other hand, since it is possible to link between the organization-specific database 31 and the integrated database 32, data can be transmitted between the users in response to a request from the user terminal 10. Therefore, the data in the organization can be taken into the organization as well as the data in the organization can be taken into the meeting. However, when data in an organization is taken into a meeting, security grades are divided according to the importance of the data so that they are not shared or shared only through the user terminal 10 with some qualifications. You can set a limit to

  Meanwhile, the SNS server 30 can set restrictions on data browsing, data browsing notifications, and the like when the icon is activated. This can be set by an administrator or user by determining whether the data relates to an organization or a meeting and the importance of the data.

  For example, when the user uploads the public information or schedule to the social networking service through the user terminal 10, the user terminal 10 activates the public information or schedule icon and then inputs the public information or the schedule through the user terminal 10. The transmitted data is transmitted to the SNS server 30.

  At this time, the SNS server 30 allows the data to be viewed after authentication of the data input person and / or the data viewer in response to a request from the user terminal 10 of the data input person, Can be provided. At this time, the user terminal 10 provided by the SNS server 30 by setting restrictions on browsing means a member terminal of the organization or meeting to which the data input person belongs, including the user terminal 10 of the data input person. The authentication can be performed using any one of telephone, SMS, and e-mail.

  When data entry person authentication is required, the data viewer must request authorization from the data entry person via telephone, SMS, e-mail, etc. to obtain approval for viewing, and data viewer authentication is required. In this case, it is possible to use telephone authentication, SMS authentication, or e-mail authentication using the authentication number notified in advance by the data input person or using the telephone number registered by the administrator or the user.

  On the other hand, when the SNS server 30 provides data to the user terminal 10, browsing can be guided by a push message, and browsing through the user terminal 10 even after a certain time has passed since the push message was transmitted. The push message can be transmitted again to the user who has not done so. Thus, browsing can be induced by providing a data browsing notification for highly important data.

  In the present invention, as described above, the organization and the meeting are divided into one social networking service, and the organization is set by the administrator. Therefore, a member who uses only the meeting does not need to go through the administrator. While not being incorporated as a member, members of each organization can form / join a meeting via the user terminal 10 according to their interests, tendencies, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the SNS server 30 can provide the user terminal 10 with an icon for forming a new meeting on the main screen. When the user terminal 10 selects this, the SNS server 30 provides the meeting formation screen to the user terminal 10 as shown in FIG. For this reason, the user can generate a meeting by selecting the name of the meeting, the classification of the meeting, the members of the meeting, and the like via the user terminal 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the user terminal 10 of a member belonging to an existing meeting sends out an invitation message to the user terminal 10 of a member of an organization that has not yet joined the meeting to join the meeting. You can also.

  FIG. 16 is a network configuration diagram for explaining an embodiment for providing a security chat service in the social networking service system according to the present invention.

  Referring to FIG. 16, the social networking service system includes a first user terminal 100_1 and a second user terminal 100_2. FIG. 16 shows an embodiment in which two users can talk to each other by connecting to a chat room via their own terminal devices 100_1 and 100_2. The above users can use the online service via their own terminal devices. In the case of such an embodiment, an additional terminal device can be illustrated in FIG. 16 in addition to the two terminal devices 100_1 and 100_2.

  Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an embodiment will be described in which the first user terminal 100_1 provides a message to the second user terminal 100_2, and the second user terminal 100_2 receives the message from the first user terminal 100_1. Unlike such an embodiment, the second user terminal 100_2 can provide a message to the first user terminal 100_1, and the first user terminal 100_1 can receive the message from the second user terminal 100_2.

  The first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2 are terminals owned by users who can talk through the chat room while being connected to each other, and the first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2 are connected to each other. The two-user terminal 100_2 can be realized as a smartphone, a PDA, a PC, a notebook computer, or the like.

  Since the first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2 are connected to each other and have a conversation via the chat room, a chat screen can be executed on each of the first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2. The chat screen includes a conversation output window in which the content of the conversation is output and a chat input window in which a message is input.

  The state of the chat input window on the chat screen can be maintained in an inactivated state or an activated state. For example, when the first user terminal 100_1 or the second user terminal 100_2 is connected to a chat room, the state of the chat input window on the chat screen can be maintained in an activated state. As another example, when the first user terminal 100_1 or the second user terminal 100_2 is not connected to the chat room, the chat screen is not executed on the second user terminal 100_2. Can maintain an inactivated state.

  Conventionally, even if one of the first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2 is not connected to the chat room, when the other terminal device inputs a message, it is output to the chat screen, and either one of the terminals When the device connected to the chat room again, the message on the chat screen could be confirmed.

  For example, even if the first user terminal 100_1 of the first user terminal 100_1 and the second user terminal 100_2 is not connected to the chat room, when the second user terminal 100_2 inputs a message, the message is output to the chat screen, When one user terminal 100_1 connected to the chat room again, the message on the chat screen could be confirmed.

  In this way, there is no problem when there are two users talking in the chat room, but if there are many users talking in the chat room, a secret conversation while a specific user is away from the chat room. Even if it is performed, a specific user can further enter the chat room and check the content of the conversation, so there is a problem that the content of the conversation may be leaked by a malicious user.

  In addition, if the content of the conversation is personal information (for example, a password, an account number, etc.), a malicious user may maliciously use the content of the conversation to cause a third damage. There is a problem.

  In the present invention, in order to solve such a problem, when a message is input via the chat input window on the chat screen, the terminal device encrypts the message and provides it to other terminal devices.

  Then, only when the state of the chat input window on the chat screen is activated (for example, when the user joins the chat room), the other terminal device decrypts the encrypted message and displays it on the chat screen. If the status of the chat input window on the chat screen is inactive (for example, when the user is away from the chat room), the encrypted message is chatted as a predetermined encryption icon. Output to the screen.

  For example, when the user inputs a message into the chat input window on the chat screen, the first user terminal 100_1 encrypts the message and provides it to the second user terminal 100_2. When receiving the encrypted message from the first user terminal 100_1, the second user terminal 100_2 confirms the state of the chat input window on the chat screen.
