Therefore, the user can continuously update and manage the information of the area corresponding to the access destination, so that the visitors can be continuously provided with the latest information by the same access code. A method of mapping an access code and an access destination performed by the access code management apparatus 200 will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings below.

The service server 300 provides a connection destination mapped with the access code. When the connection destination is a specific Internet page such as a blog or a cafe, a corresponding Internet page is provided. When the connection destination is a multimedia content such as a video or music, the corresponding multimedia content is provided. That is, the service server 300 performs a function of providing the corresponding content of the connection destination connected through the access code. Detailed functions of the service server 300 will become more apparent through the following description.

The access code management apparatus 200 maps the access code and the access destination received from the user terminal 100 according to the access code mapping request received from the user terminal 100. Therefore, when an access destination access request using an access code is received from an arbitrary user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 is processed to be connected to the corresponding access destination. The configuration and function of the access code management apparatus 200 will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings below.

3A is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an access code management apparatus 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a storage unit of an access code management apparatus 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A diagram showing the access code mapping table stored in the.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the access code management apparatus 200 may include an access code issuing unit 210, a transceiving unit 220, an access code authenticating unit 230, a user authenticating unit 240, and a mapping unit 250. The determination unit 260, the storage unit 270, and the control unit 280 are included.

The access code issuing unit 210 performs a function of issuing an access code in which the mapped access destination is null, that is, an unregistered state. As described above, in order for the accessory to be provided with a connection code, a connection code issued to a company producing, distributing or selling the accessory is issued. When issuing the access code, it is possible to issue only the access code, or may be issued with an authentication number for recognizing the access information of the access code. The authentication number may be used when authenticating the access code after connecting by wire or wirelessly without connecting to the access code management apparatus 200 through the access code when the user requests access code mapping. Therefore, the access code management device 300 stores the authentication number corresponding to the access code information, and recognizes the access code information through the authentication number.

The access code information in the present invention is defined as any one of the image itself corresponding to the image code, a converted numeric string having a predetermined number of converted image codes, a numeric code, a character code formed of a character string, and a combination thereof.

The transceiver 220 receives an access code mapping request including access code information according to an arbitrary access code from the user terminal 100 through a communication network, and accesses selected by the user to the access code information corresponding to the access code mapping request. Map information about the destination. In addition, by receiving the access code information from any user terminal 100 and transmits the address of the connection destination corresponding to the access code information extracted by the access code authentication unit 230 to the user terminal 100. Of course, the transceiver 220 may transmit the wireless Internet web data received from the service server of the connection destination corresponding to the address of the connection destination to the user terminal 100.

The access code authentication unit 230 authenticates whether the access code information included in the access code mapping request received from the user terminal 100 is useful information. That is, it is determined whether the access code corresponds to the access code information previously issued by the access code issuing unit 210. Access code information of the access code issued when issuing the access code is stored in the storage unit, and authenticated by comparing with the access code information received when access code mapping request. As described above, when the access code is issued, the authentication code may be issued together with the access code information, so that the user may request the access code mapping including the authentication number to the user terminal 100 such as a computer through a wired communication network. The access code authentication unit 230 may perform an authentication procedure through the authentication number.

In addition, when the access code information is received from any user terminal 100, the access code authentication unit 230 determines whether the access destination information set in the access code exists or is null. If the access destination information exists, it is recognized that the access request is made to the access destination, and if it is null, it may be recognized as an access code mapping request.

 The mapping unit 250 performs mapping between the access code information authenticated according to the access code mapping request received from the user terminal 100 and the connection destination of the specific service server 300 selected by the user. The mapping process between the access code information and the access destination information in the mapping unit 250 will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

If the user authentication unit 240 requires authentication of a connection destination user, that is, a subscriber of the service server 300 corresponding to the connection destination, the user managing the connection destination is connected to the corresponding service server 300. Perform authentication. One of the authentication methods is that if the user terminal 100 is a mobile terminal, the phone number registered in advance in the service server 300 and the phone number of the user terminal 100 that has requested the access code mapping are the same. Authentication can be completed without a procedure. As another method, the user receives an ID and password Password which are subscribed to the service server 300 from the user terminal 100 to authenticate the user. It is obvious that not only the ID and password of the second method, but also the authentication method provided by the service server 300 may be applied in the same manner. That is, the user authentication unit 240 may authenticate the user in association with the service server 300.

The validity determiner 260 determines whether the access code received through the transceiver 220 is valid. For example, if the access code issued to any user is set to be valid for only 6 months, it may be determined that the access code is invalid if the issue date of the access code exceeds 6 months from the present. In addition, when the access code is charged in the form of deduction from the prepaid amount corresponding to the number of accesses and / or the period of use, it may be determined that the access code is invalid when the prepaid amount is exhausted. Issuance date information, prepaid amount information, etc. of the access code may be stored in the storage unit 270.

The storage unit 270 is an operation program of the access code management device 200, subscriber information and access destination information corresponding to the access code information, service server 300 authentication information, validity determination basic information (for example, access code issuance Date and time, prepaid amount, etc.).

Referring to FIG. 3B, the access code mapping table 272 has access code information and corresponding connection destination information. The access code information 00112222 has been issued but not mapped, and the access code information 001122223 is mapped to a Naver blog among the service servers 300. Here, the access code information mapped to the access destination may further include information on the service subscriber.

Referring back to FIG. 3A, the controller 280 maps the received access code information and access destination information to correspond to the access code mapping request received from the user terminal 100 by the access code management apparatus 200 according to the present invention. When the access code information is received from an arbitrary user terminal 100, if there is access destination information set in the access code, the transceiver unit and access code authentication so that the user terminal 100 can access the corresponding access destination. The unit 230, the user authentication unit 240, the mapping unit 250, the validity determination unit and the storage unit controls the functions.

Illustrating a process for acquiring user authentication and acquiring connection destination information.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, a user of the user terminal 100 purchases an accessory provided with a connection code and inputs access code information through the user terminal 100 in step 420. As described above, the access code information may be any one of an image itself recognized by the provided camera, a converted numeric string having a predetermined number of digits converted from an image code, a numeric code, and a character code formed of a character string.

In operation 430, the user terminal 100 transmits an access code mapping request message including access code information to the access code management apparatus 200.

In operation 440, the access code management apparatus 200 determines whether the received access code information is valid access code information. That is, it is determined whether the access code information corresponds to a valid access code issued in advance, or whether the access code information corresponds to a preset period or amount of money. If it is determined that the access code management apparatus 200 is not valid, the access code management apparatus 200 transmits an error message at step 450 and, if valid, at step 460. In operation 470, the user terminal 100 transmits information about a connection destination to be mapped with the valid access code information to the access code management apparatus 200. For example, the service server 300 names such as Naver, Yahoo, MagicN, and the like, and information on a corresponding connection destination type such as a blog, music, and video, are provided. Here, the access destination information may be a URL of the corresponding access destination or the service server 300 corresponding thereto, and provides one or more service servers 300 and access destination information to which the access code management apparatus 200 is linked. It may also be information selected by the user.

In operation 480, the access code management apparatus 200 maps the access code information whose validity is approved and the access destination information selected from the user terminal, and transmits a mapping completion message to the user terminal 100 in operation 490. Here, the authentication and the connection destination information for the user of the service server 300 may be performed and generated in the service server 300.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 510, the access code management apparatus 200 receives information on an access destination to be mapped with access code information from the user terminal 100.

It includes.

Accordingly, the access code management apparatus 200 requests user authentication to the service server 300 corresponding to the connection destination in step 515, and information necessary for user authentication from the corresponding service server 300 in step 520 (for example, Information about whether to use an ID / password, authentication using a pre-stored phone number and a calling number, and other authentication numbers, and hereinafter, the ID / password will be described. Here, if the authentication method is the same in all the service servers 300, the steps 515 to 520 may be omitted.

Accordingly, in step 525, the access code management apparatus 200 obtains authentication information corresponding to the ID / password of the service server 300 from the user terminal 100, and transmits it to the service server 300 in step 530. .

In operation 535, the service server 300 performs authentication of the user through the received authentication information. If authentication is not performed, the service server 300 transmits a non-authentication message to the access code management apparatus 200 in operation 540, and accesses in operation 545. The code management apparatus 200 performs a process (for example, notifying the corresponding user terminal 100) in accordance with the impossible of authentication.

In operation 550, when the authentication is completed, the service server 300 transmits an authentication completion message to the access code management apparatus 200. As the authentication is completed in step 555, the access code management apparatus 200 transmits the information about the access destination to be mapped, which is selected by the user and transmitted through the user terminal 100, to the service server 300.

Here, in another embodiment, as the service server 300 is recognized by the access code management apparatus 200 by the selection of the terminal, the web page of the service server 300 may be transmitted to the user terminal. Accordingly, the user of the user terminal may immediately perform the authentication procedure in the service server 300 and select a corresponding connection destination.

In addition, the authentication process of the connection destination user is not necessarily required. In other words, a user authentication process may be required in a service server 300 such as a portal server such as Naver or Yahoo that manages a subscriber, but an authentication process may not be required in a service server 300 such as a homepage of a general public. Therefore, the authentication procedure is performed only when the authentication procedure is requested from the service server.

In step 560, the service server 300 receives connection destination information for connecting to a connection destination such as a URL, IP address, etc. of the connection destination. Thereafter, the access code management apparatus 200 maps and stores the access code information received from the user terminal 100 and the access destination information received from the service server 300. Accordingly, any user terminal 100 connected through the access code corresponding to the access code information is then connected with the mapped access destination.

The transmitter / receiver 750 transmits a connection code mapping request including the access code information received from the decoder 730, or a connection destination access request to the access code management apparatus 200, and accesses the access code management apparatus 200. The mapping between the code and the connection destination is performed, or the address (ie, connection destination information) of the connection destination is received from the connection code management device 200. When the access code management apparatus 200 directly accesses the address of the access destination instead of providing the address of the access destination, and then transmits the corresponding web data to the user terminal 100, the transceiver 220 manages the access code. The web data transmitted from the device 200 may be received.

The control unit 760 is for controlling each of the above elements, and when an image capturing button is input from a user, the control unit 760 generates an image capturing control signal and transmits the image control signal to the image capturing unit 720, and generates a decoding control signal and transmits the image to the decoder 760. The transmission / reception control signal is transmitted to the transmission / reception unit 750 to transmit the access code mapping request or the connection destination access request to the access code management apparatus 200.

The matters described with reference to FIG. 7 so far have focused on the case where the access code is an image type code. When the access code is a number type code (for example, 12345), the user is provided with a key button provided on the keypad. It may also transmit an access code mapping request or an access destination access request (eg, ** 12345 and a call button, 12345 and a wireless Internet access key). Also, similarly to the numeric code, the access code may be a character code.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for accessing a wireless Internet using an access code according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the user terminal 100 receives an image code in step 810, proceeds to step 820, and decodes the input image code to extract a converted numeric string or string having a predetermined number of digits. The image code may be displayed on a certain area such as a print medium or a computer screen, and may be input by using a camera function provided in the user terminal 100. Steps 810 and 820 correspond to the case where the access code is an image code. When the access code is a numeric code or a character code, the access code may be directly input using a key button. Also, if the user terminal 100 does not have a decoder 730, step 815 may be omitted.

In operation 830, the user terminal 100 transmits a connection destination access request to the access code management apparatus 200 through a communication network. The access destination access request may include access code information corresponding to any one of an image photographed corresponding to an image code, a converted numeric string converted from an image code, a numeric code, and a character code.

The access code management apparatus 200 determines whether the received access code information included in the access destination access request in step 840 is valid access code information. If the access code information is an image photographed corresponding to the image code, the process of extracting the converted numeric string corresponding to the image may be preceded. As described above, when it is determined that the arbitrary access code information is not valid, there is a case where the preset validity period is exceeded, or when the prepaid amount is exhausted.

If it is determined that the access code information is not valid, in step 850, the access code management apparatus 200 transmits an error message (for example, the validity period has elapsed) to the user terminal 100. In this case, the access code management apparatus 200 may transmit a guide message requesting the user authority 100 of the user who issued the access code to update or reissue the use authority of the search code. At this time, it is apparent that the access code management apparatus 200 may transmit a guide message for transmitting the access code to the user who has issued the access code with respect to the preset e-mail account of the user.

However, if it is determined that the access code information is valid, the access code management apparatus 200 analyzes the access code information and selects an appropriate access address (ie, connection destination information) among the connection address information (ie, connection destination information) stored in the storage unit 270. Address) is extracted (step 860, step 870).

Subsequently, the access code management apparatus 200 proceeds to step 880 and transmits the extracted access address to the user terminal 100.

The user terminal 100 connects to the service server 110 and the access destination corresponding to the access address received from the access code management apparatus 200 in step 890.

In the wireless Internet access method using the access code described above with reference to FIG. 8, when the access destination information corresponding to the access code information received by the access code management apparatus 200 is extracted and transmitted to the user terminal 100, the user terminal ( 100) attempts to connect with the received connection destination information.

In addition, instead of transmitting the connection destination information to the user terminal 100, the access code management apparatus 200 connects to the corresponding connection destination using the connection destination information and receives corresponding web data to receive the user terminal 100. The transmission method may be further applied. However, when considering the load of the access code management device 200, the former method will be more preferable.

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.).

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a user who acquires an access code for which an association with an access destination is not registered can associate with the desired access destination, and freely issues an access code at a desired time. Using the provided access code, there is an effect of providing a method, an apparatus, and a recording medium recording the method of mapping an access code previously issued and a connection destination so as to conveniently access the corresponding information or space.

In addition, by providing a connection code for which the connection relationship with the connection destination is not registered in accessories such as a seal, a cell phone strap, a sticker, and so on, a user can easily obtain the connection code and map it with a desired connection destination.
