Referring to FIG. 3, a non-member accesses a site provided by the web server 134 of the information management server 130 according to the present invention through the Internet 120 using a personal computer or the like and provides the site according to the present invention. If the non-member is requesting membership (when a user selects an appropriately set membership menu icon by operating a mouse or the like of a personal computer) when the user is provided with the public service, the process proceeds to step 314.

In step 314, the service terms of the site according to the present invention are output to a non-member computer. After that, in step 316, the input is confirmed that the terms and conditions are agreed. In step 318, the subscriber information (personal information and community target information) input window according to the information input format as shown in FIG. 2 is outputted so that the subscriber can input the information, and the information input by the subscriber is stored in the database 138.

And an initial screen for providing a member service. Accordingly, the subscriber can be provided with various member services including the personal community information management service provided by the information providing server 130 of the present invention.

When the membership registration process is completed through this process, the information providing server 130 according to the present invention proceeds to step 322 and then analyzes the community target information of the corresponding subscriber, and confirms whether the subscriber is a member of each community. do. Subsequently, in step 324, a non-member community target member registration guide processing operation is performed. In operation 324, the operation of guiding a member may be performed by sending an email or a short message containing information for guiding a member to a corresponding community. Of course, the subscriber will send an e-mail or a short message based on the e-mail information recorded in the community-targeted information or the mobile phone number. The community subject who confirmed the member registration guide email or the short message can register as a member by accessing the information providing server 130 according to the present invention and performing the process as shown in FIG. 3. On the other hand, as described above, all of the subscriber guided community targets may perform the registration guide processing operation collectively, but it is also possible to set whether or not the subscriber performs the subscription guide processing operation for each community target and operate accordingly. .

As described above, a member registration operation is performed, and a new subscriber (for example, a new subscriber) from a community target of a certain subscriber (for example, an old subscriber) is registered with his or her community. The subscriber is set up automatically. That is, the personal information (public information) of the old subscriber is appropriately input to the community target information of the new subscriber, and the two subscribers become community targets with each other. In this case, if one subscriber changes his or her personal information, the information management server 130 immediately operates such that the changed contents are updated in the other party's community target information. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of changing subscriber information in an information management server for managing personal community information according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4, a member accesses a site provided by a web server 134 of the information management server 130 according to the present invention via the Internet 120 using a personal computer, and logs in according to the present invention. In case of receiving the member service provided by the site, when the member subscriber requests the change of the subscriber information (by selecting the appropriately changed member information menu icon by operating the mouse of a personal computer, etc.), it is confirmed in step 412. The flow proceeds to step 414.

In step 414, the currently stored subscriber information is output so that the subscriber (for example, subscriber A) can confirm this and appropriately change personal information (public information). Thereafter, in step 416, the community target information of the subscriber (subscriber A) is analyzed to identify the member subscriber (for example, subscriber B) in the community target. Thereafter, in step 418, the subscriber information (that is, the community target information corresponding to subscriber A) of the confirmed member subscriber (subscriber B) is updated according to the change of the subscriber who changed the information (subscriber A). Subscriber B will be informed via email or short message.

On the other hand, the process as described above, illustrated in Figure 4 would require the subscriber to be connected directly to the information providing server 130 to change the subscriber information. However, each subscriber may forget this even when his or her personal information needs to be changed. Therefore, it is possible to perform an operation of transmitting an e-mail or a short message, which asks each subscriber whether or not there is information change, periodically or aperiodically set in advance. In this case, an e-mail or a short message may be transmitted to a community target (non-member) of the subscriber asking for information change.

The information update operation in the management of personal community information according to the present invention enables the subscriber to automatically update the changes without having to directly update the information on the community target when the community target of one subscriber is registered as a member. Management is easy.
