DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is applied to, for example, game software and the like, in which a user constructs a virtual city state in a screen display by computer graphics (CG) or the like, and a plurality of participants participate in the virtual city state. The present invention mainly relates to an Internet mechanism for realizing communication between a user and a service, and an automatic homepage creation system using communication software.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called hypercommunication network in which one's alter ego is sent through a network into a virtual city space constructed in a screen display by computer graphics for game software and the like, and lives freely therein. There is a CD-ROM mechanism for this.
In recent years, a method of sending a stereoscopic virtual space image to each user's personal computer via the Internet has become a reality. However, when an individual wants to have a homepage on the Internet, it is usually necessary to contract with a provider that provides a communication line connection service using a personal computer and a communication modem, rent a dedicated area, and use a language for creating the homepage by himself. F to transfer a certain HTML or created HTML sentence to the server of the provider
It was necessary to acquire knowledge such as TP. If they do not have such knowledge, they have to ask a company that creates homepages.

[0003]

However, although the language HTML is said to be relatively simple for Internet users, especially beginners, it is difficult for anyone who is not used to the language to learn HTML. . In addition, FTP, which is a protocol for transferring a file, has a difficulty in understanding the concept. Further, even when a homepage creation agent is requested, there are disadvantages such as area reservation and FTP or financial problems.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems that have existed in the past, and provides user ID information together with URL information from a WWW browser to each WEB site, and queries each Web site to a center server. By doing so, it is possible to perform user authentication without impairing the benefits as a member on the user side,
In addition, the cumbersome H required to create a homepage
Even if you do not have any knowledge of specialized languages such as TML or so-called FTP, which is a protocol for transmitting files, you can automatically create and update websites just by inputting information based on instructions from the center. The purpose is to build a creation system. It is another object of the present invention to simultaneously solve the problem of the need to create a program for automating the process and the problem of user authentication.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, the service processing information content is programmed in advance by a service provider, and stored in the center server 6 via a terminal operation on the user side. A communication software 2 for accessing and obtaining control information from the center server 6; displaying a predetermined homepage on the WWW browser 3 by accessing from the user side; When the new and change request information is transmitted, the center server 6 forms HTML for new and update forms.
The sentence is automatically created, and the center server 6 automatically creates an HTML sentence based on the new and updated information of the user inputted on the WWW browser 3 side, and the WWW browser 3 displays the automatically updated homepage. It is displayed. Also, when displaying the homepage, the server transmits the user information and the encrypted data such as the password and the like to the WWW browser 3 together with the URL information, accesses the center server 6 based on the data, and performs the user authentication. And can perform member-only services. Further, when transmitting the data to the WWW browser 3, the URL information and the encrypted data of the user can be hidden so that the home page cannot be accessed from other than communication software.

[0006] In the automatic homepage creation system according to the present invention, the communication software 2 transmits the URL information and the data in which the user ID information and the like are encrypted to the WWW browser 3.
And this information is concealed. The WEB site 5 accesses the center server 6 according to this information, performs user authentication, and displays a WEB page. As a result, the center side 4 knows who is visiting the WEB page, that is, whether it is a member or not, and if it is a member, even if it is a member, a special service or display corresponding to that is provided. It can be done without losing the merit as a member. Also, from the center server 6 to the WWW
The input home HTML information required for input is sent to the browser 3 side, and the WWW browser 3 automatically generates an HTML sentence based on the input contents, and the user's personal computer terminal 1 via the WWW browser 3. To display the automatically updated homepage. At this time, the program was simplified by unifying the layout while giving the homepage some variations.
This unification of the information arrangement has the merit that anyone who browses the homepage can easily understand it because it knows where to look and what information is described. In addition, regarding the problem of user authentication, UR
A solution is found by encrypting and transmitting information such as the user ID together with the L information.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A so-called net village, which constitutes an automatic homepage creation system, is a virtual city jointly constructed in response to a user's idea. It is a nation and a service system that involves real-time information exchange between users of communication services. In this Net Village, a WEB page called “User's House” as an original homepage in a predetermined format is configured to be able to have in the town, for example, together with a group of buildings linked to the WEB site. There is a house. The exterior is basically a detached house, and the exterior is to be selected by the user from several patterns. However, because detached houses are charged and tax is charged, you can not buy a detached house without the first net village point (virtual money distributed only within the net village), and at first the free internet village You may make it live in a public housing (apartment). In addition, while the layout is FIX, the design and color can be selected from several patterns according to the user's preference. Examples of the image include graphic data such as a face photograph, a profile and a self-PR sentence, a message from the person, and a message board sent to the person. A function for opening (linking) an original home page, a function for displaying a web page by launching a WWW browser 3 when a user visits (clicking on) a desired building and jumping to a URL specified in advance for each building; When information is transferred from the network village browser (communication software 2) to the WWW browser 3, a function of transferring encrypted data together with URL information is set.

[0008] The specific overall configuration of the system is as follows:
As shown in FIG. 1, service processing information contents are programmed in advance by a service provider, and a communication software 2 for accessing the center 4 through operation of the personal computer terminal 1 and obtaining control information from the center 4 is provided. In the user's personal computer terminal 1, information transmission means for transmitting the URL information together with the encrypted data, which is the user ID information, from the communication software 2 to the WWW browser 3, and the data to be transmitted to the WWW browser 3 at this time. URL information concealment transmission means to be concealed, and the data
User authentication means for inquiring the center server 6 from the site 5 to perform user authentication, and form HTML information necessary for inputting the update information from the center server 6 to the WWW browser 3 side, and input the form HTML information on the WWW browser 3 side. An automatic home page creation means for automatically generating an HTML sentence based on the information and displaying the automatically updated home page on the WWW browser 3 is provided. In this way, by performing user authentication in the center 4, a mechanism that prevents others from editing can be constructed, while the user's personal computer terminal 1 only needs to input necessary information in a form sent from the center server 6. Automatically creates a homepage.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 2, the system flow according to the above system configuration is such that when the user clicks on a personal residence site dedicated to the net village, the user's I
D, encrypted data such as passwords are created,
The RL + encrypted data is transmitted to the WWW browser 3. This information is hidden on the WWW browser 3. Each web
The site 5 inquires of the center server 6 according to this data to perform user authentication. At this time, it is determined whether or not the authentication is OK. If the authentication is OK, the personal home page is displayed in the unified format on the WWW browser 3 side. If the authentication is NO, WE
A message indicating that access was not possible on page B is displayed. Then, when the information update button is pressed on the WWW browser 3 side, the HTML sentence for the input form is automatically created in the center server 6, and the information input form is displayed on the WWW browser 3 side. Also, by inputting information to be updated on the WWW browser 3 side, the center server 6
Then, an HTML sentence is automatically generated on the basis of the update information input by the user, and the WWW browser 3 displays the automatically updated homepage in a unified format.

Next, an example of the use of the present invention will be described.
Dynamic log data corresponding to access information of each user via the communication software 2 as the recording medium is recorded and managed in advance on the center server 6 side, and according to the frequency of real-time access utilization of the dynamic log data by the user. Information corresponding to dynamic needs is provided from the center server 6 to each user. At this time, user authentication can be easily performed on the browser by the user authentication means, and specific information can be provided only to specific user members. In addition, the net village narrows down the target by crossing all characteristics, from distribution to all residents to minority residents who meet certain specific requirements, and enables information distribution. For example, the Net Village Browser (communication software 2) has a function to easily create your own original village by dragging and dropping buildings and other buildings participating in the Net Village. A so-called visual bookmark function (not shown) for linking the WEB site 5 not participating in the village is provided. It is very convenient to set the web page that you always use to your own city and set it so that it can be started by default. In addition, you can design various original building design parts such as country style design and Hawaii style design in Net Village. In addition, by expanding the mechanism of the conference room that supports PC communication, it will be possible to freely open a place where people can discuss while displaying images, video, audio, etc., in the form of a free theme with their favorite theme. It is also possible to exchange messages between residents.
