In addition, the term 'member' is used herein to include both natural and corporate persons.

First, a computer system applied to the present invention is disclosed with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the computer system of the present invention includes a server computer 10, a user terminal 30, and a line 20 connecting the server computer 10 to a user. Each line provides an internet connection using the Internet using a public switched telephone network provided by KT or a dedicated line provided by an Internet service provider (ISP) such as Hanaro Telecom. This line is not limited to the Internet, and may be used as long as it enables data transmission in a computer system having a client-server structure. The following description will be given by taking the Internet as an example.

The user terminal 30 provides an input / output gateway for exchanging data with the server computer 10. The terminal 30 is equipped with a network interface capable of data communication through the line 20, and transmits a user's request to the server computer, such as a browser for code interpretation of data transmitted from the server computer. Therefore, the device has a function of receiving data.

A modem is added between the terminal 30 and the server computer 10 to modulate and demodulate the signals so that data communication with each other is possible.

The server computer 10 may be a conventional personal computer or workstation with a significant amount of memory and processing power, including ROM and RAM, as the server computer 10. In one example, it acts as a web server to display information that is incrementally disclosed to the user through the web page. In response to the user's request, at least one member among the registered members matching the requester of the user is searched and provided.

In order to achieve this operation, the server computer includes functional means. This functional means can be implemented by a program that defines the order of execution of instructions and allows the computer to perform logical operations.

In FIG. 2, the server computer 100 includes a storage device such as a hard disk that stores data magnetically, and a processing device that reads a program recorded in the storage device, and decodes and executes the command. Logic operation is possible.

In addition, in the present invention, the processing apparatus is such as the authentication unit 11, the matching unit 12, the generating unit 13, the generating unit 14 to perform the logical operation defined in the program recorded in the storage device. It further comprises a functional means.

In order to register the user as a member, the authentication unit 11 provides a document that allows the user to record information necessary for membership registration to the web page 17, and records the information collected therefrom to formally form the user. Register as a member of.

The matching unit 12 selects at least one of the registered members according to a condition that the user inputs a recommender who has a portion of the profit generated as the user is registered as a member and causes the user to The selected person is registered as the recommender 151.

The generation unit 13 generates, according to the request of the user, an authentication key for allowing the user to enter the web page 17 and view more information. Preferably, this authentication key 181 is randomly generated by being generated based on the random number table 18.

The generation unit 14 creates a web page 17 with the information classified step by step in order to disclose the information step by step. The purpose of the disclosure is to disclose the information according to the user's intention to join only the users who show their intention to participate as members.

The storage device records the member database 15 and the information database 16 in order to select only a program that implements the above functions and a user who shows an intention to actively participate.

The member database 15 records information necessary for the user to register as a full member. Basically this information is the same as or similar to the member information used in conventional commerce. If you are registered as a nominee, this record will be included, and it is desirable that the information about the organization to which the member belongs is also recorded.

The information database 16 records the web pages 17 or information that is electronically disclosed to the user in stages. The classification of this information may be classified as follows in one example.

First information 161: This information is information disclosed to the user through the start screen of the web page. This information is available to all users and includes only general information, such as press releases introduced through print (or broadcast) media. As a specific example, the first information may be information such as a company name, a business name, a product handled, and the like, which are published on a web page of a website for network marketing.

Second information 162: This information is information that is disclosed when the user first requests the server computer 10 for specific information. Therefore, although the specific information is included rather than the first information, not all the information is disclosed. For example, the second information may be information such as the location of the company, the address of the operator, and the characteristics of the product to be handled. Preferably, this information is transmitted only to the requesting user via electronic means entered by the user in request of providing the information, such as e-mail or fax.

Third information 163: This information is information that is disclosed when the user who confirms the second information expresses a willingness to participate. Therefore, although the specific information is included rather than the second information, this information also does not disclose all the information. In the example of the network marketing, the third information may be personal information including a gender, age, region, occupation, etc. of a member who subscribes to the website of the network marketing. Preferably, this information is disclosed to the user via web page 17 when entering the server computer 10 with the authentication key 181.

3 illustrates the overall flow of the present invention. The user is connected to the server computer 30 by inputting a domain into the browser of the terminal 30 (S10). The server computer 10 then prepares a start screen and sends it to the terminal 30. Information included in this start screen is information limited to the first information 161.

A user who is interested in an organization (eg, a network marketing company) introduced through the web page among the users who surf the web page 17 requests the server computer 100 for additional information (S20).

4 illustrates a window created by a user to request additional information. The user enters simple personal information such as a contact (e-mail, fax) and name to receive the information in this window and requests additional information from the server computer by clicking the send button 41 provided in the window.

The server computer 10 receiving the user's request transmits the second information 162 to the input contact (S30). Preferably, the mailing system may be used to transmit the second information. This mailing system is a system that can send the prepared data to the requester's e-mail automatically when the user requests. Since this mailing system is a well-known conventional technique, the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

The user reviews the second information 162 sent electronically. Based on this information 162, more detailed information can be requested from the server computer. The user who wants additional information requests the server computer for additional information 163 by clicking the input button provided in the e-mail (S40). Alternatively, the user who has received the second information by fax may send an e-mail by e-mail of the server computer or apply by telephone.

The server computer 10 receiving the user's request generates an authentication key 181 with the random number table 18. Preferably, this authentication key is made available only once. The server computer records the generated authentication key in the storage device, and when an authentication key is input from the user to the server computer, it is checked whether the entered authentication key is in the storage device. Only then will login be possible and the authentication key used will be deleted from storage.

The generated authentication key is transmitted to the user who requested the third information (S50). This transmission may be used by electronic means such as e-mail, fax, SMS, and swappable. Since the transmission means mentioned here is also a well known technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The user logs in to the server computer temporarily with this authentication key 181. Then, the server computer prepares and transmits the web page 17 including the third information 163 to the user, and the transmitted third information 163 is interpreted by the browser and displayed to the user (S60).

The user retrieves third information from the web and inputs a subscription intention to the server computer 10. In one example, the user informs the server computer of his or her intention to join through a window similar to the window shown in FIG.

In addition, in this process, the user inputs the selection information to the server computer to determine who to recommend. The selection information may be various. In one example, the user enters selection information, such as the age and location of the recommender, into the server computer. Conversely, it may be configured to allow the user to select the conditions presented by the server computer.

The server computer 10 searches the member database 15 by using the selection information input from the user and selects at least one member from among the registered members matching the selection information as candidates (S70). Then, information about the selected member is transmitted to the user to select a recommender (S70).

Then, the user selects at least one person as a recommendation person, and fills in a web page with information necessary for membership registration and transmits it to the server computer 10 (S80). The server computer records the information transmitted from the user to the storage device and registers the user as a member.

Preferably, before the user registration of the user may be configured so that the recommender and the user can meet online or offline to obtain the final information.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.

According to the present invention, it is possible to protect the information of the members subscribed to, and protect from indiscriminate promotion. In addition, the user can trade the interests between the user and the operator in that the user can join and act on an organization that generates consumption and revenue only at the request of the user. In addition, registered members have the effect of creating new consumption and revenue jointly with the user by the user's choice.
