(1) Form of Service for Sharing Personal Information on Web

The current form of service for sharing personal information on the Web is a so-called 'bulletin board' form where information is shared through bulletin boards, and personal information is created and disclosed as XML-based structured data and those who are interested in such information. It can be divided into 'blogs' that share information with each other.

'Bulletin board' service is a way of sharing information by recruiting subscribers on a specific topic and writing contents by using bulletin boards and reading the contents by themselves, and 'blog' is an XML-based This is a way to share information with other blog users who are interested by registering with a blog service, creating content, and making it public for all users. In other words, if the bulletin board is a form of non-disclosure based social network service, the blog is an openness-based SNS service.

In the case of the 'Bulletin' service, subscribers must access the bulletin board site to share information so that they can read the related information. .

On the other hand, unlike the 'Bulletin' service, 'Blog' service does not require access to a specific community site and uses information content sharing technology (trackback, RSS technology, etc.) with users who are interested in the information posted on the blog. There is an advantage to share. However, even if this sharing technology is used, it does not have the function of filtering and sharing only the information desired by the individual, and in terms of system operation, it may waste unnecessary computing resources due to repetitive information requests and content transmission.

Therefore, the current use of personal information sharing technology is useful in terms of services that are mainly focused on obtaining real-time information, such as simple news update notifications. However, in the service of sharing personal information based on private SNS environment, advanced personal information sharing technology that can filter only the information desired by the individual and share only the core information is needed.

The following describes in more detail the 'Bulletin' service and the 'Blog' service.

(2) ‘Bulletin’ service (see FIG. 1)

Information sharing in the form of bulletin boards takes place between the user and the server where the information is stored. The user can log in to the server and view the information in the relevant group.

Any user connected to the server can create content on the bulletin board and view all content. On the other hand, when the content is updated on the bulletin board, there is a problem that the user must find the desired content through a search method in order to read the desired information. Since all users subscribed to the server create and update information, unnecessary information may be confused in addition to the information related to a specific user, and the system cannot solve this problem.

Since the information sharing system in the form of a bulletin board is joined by people who are interested in a certain field as members, there are not many cases in which a large obstacle occurs in service operation due to the above-mentioned problems. However, if you want to share personal information, more detailed information sharing methods are needed. In other words, there is a need for a sharing group setting considering personal privacy aspects and a method of filtering and providing only information related to a user.

(3) ‘blog’ service (real-time information sharing system, see FIG. 2)

Real-time information provision using RSS in a blog is basically performed according to the steps of Step 1 (providing the RSS feed provider) → Step 2 (Registering the RSS feed URL to the recipient RSS reader) → Step 3 (Real-time information update).

In order to utilize the existing RSS system, the information provider creates and provides an RSS feed for providing his or her information, and the user accesses a specific site that has necessary information and checks the RSS feed URL of the related information. You need to add it to your RSS reader to get real-time information. In other words, whenever a user needs information, the user has to go through a cumbersome process of checking whether an RSS is provided and registering the RSS feed URL in his RSS reader.

If you want to share interactive information, both users must provide RSS and register their RSS feed URLs with their RSS readers so that they can share information with each other.

In case of supporting a personal community on the web such as social network service (SNS), if the users in the community want to use the existing RSS feeder system as described above to produce and share the content, the procedure for smooth information sharing is It is so complicated that the task of sharing itself can be perceived as a burden on the user, and as a result, information sharing cannot be performed smoothly. The reasons for the complexity of the procedure are as follows.

Every member in the user's personal community, and every time a new member is formed, the RSS feeder must be configured, and all members in the community also need to register community members other than themselves to share information. Even if all RSS feeders are configured in the community, when the information is irrelevant to the RSS server, the information is provided indiscriminately, causing a problem of low reliability of the information.

(4) make the ‘bulletin’ and ‘blog’ services private SNS  Difficulties to Solve for Information Sharing Systems

First, contents generated in connection with personal information are different from each other in terms of information sharing. Such information cannot be collectively disclosed in the form of bulletin board contents, and even if a group (such as a specific group on the site) to be disclosed can be selected, there is a hassle to designate the subject of the work. The service cannot be activated. Therefore, there is a need for a system that automatically designates different information disclosure targets for each content generated by a user.

Second, in the case of the bulletin board reading method, the user searches for information of interest from the bulletin board. Of course, you can set up a notification function for recently updated information, but in this case, since it lists all the updated information, it is difficult to filter unnecessary information. In the case of a blog, a more active information provision method (trackback, RSS feeder, etc.) is applied to automatically inform the user's interest to the site that he manages or send the contents of interest directly. However, in this case, like the bulletin board, there is still a problem of providing unnecessary information to the user, and there is a risk of overloading the server system due to the user's continuous request for updating information.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for generating private information based on private SNS and automatically sharing contents related to personal information. More specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of automatically designating a sharing target for each content and sharing interest information based on an event for sharing private information based on non-public SNS.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described below, which is broader by means of the descriptions and claims of the invention and its disclosure, as well as by means and combinations within a range readily contemplated therefrom. Please note that it will be subsumed into scope.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a content (personal information) produced by a specific user in a web space in which a plurality of computers, a plurality of RSS servers connected to each other by these computers and RSS feeders exist. We present two types of methods that can be automatically shared with other users.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components as much as possible, even if shown on different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the related well-known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the following will describe a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and may be variously modified and modified by those skilled in the art.

(1) Type 1: agent based RSS Server share form (see Figure 3)

According to the present invention, the contents (personal information) produced by a specific user are automatically shared with other users related to the contents in a web space in which a plurality of computers and a plurality of RSS servers connected by the computers and RSS feeders exist. A method for sharing information, the method comprising: a 110 step of a first user producing content using a first computer; Step 120 of storing the produced content in a first RSS server connected to the first computer; Step 130, at which the agent in the first RSS server matches the first RSS server and the second RSS server managing the ID information by matching the name and ID information of the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server; ; Step 140, wherein content stored in the first RSS server is stored (updated) in the second RSS server through communication between the first RSS server and the second RSS server bound to each other; And a 150 step of the second user receiving the contents stored in the second RSS server automatically through a second computer connected to the second RSS server by the RSS feeder. Provide an automatic sharing method.

Here, the 'first user' is any user who produces content (personal information) in the web space or shares related content (personal information) with other users, and the 'second user' is content (personal information) in the web space. ) Is any user who creates or shares related content (personal information) with other users, and is not the first user.

In addition, a "first computer" is a computer used by a first user, and a "first RSS server" is a server connected to the first computer by an RSS feeder. The 'second computer' is a computer used by a second user, and the 'second RSS server' is a server connected to the second computer by an RSS feeder.
In addition, 'ID' refers to an authentication system that a user receives from an RSS server in order to access an RSS server, and the RSS server identifies a user managed by the ID as an ID. In addition, "ID information" means information about ID, and is substantially the same concept as ID. The ID information is stored in the RSS server, and the RSS server 'manages ID information' means that the RSS server processes processing of generating, maintaining, and destroying ID information that is different for each user.

Meanwhile, the first RSS server and the second RSS server are implemented on the Internet so that a client may obtain desired results through a cooperative operation between a client requesting a service and a server processing a client request. It is a concept of a general web server that provides computer requests through wired / wireless networks in a distributed client / server manner in which one or more applications are operated in a cooperative environment.

The web servers described above are operating systems such as DOS, Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS, OS / 2, Solaris, etc. It can be implemented using various web server programs that are provided according to the following. Typical examples are Personal Web Server (PWS), Internet Information Server (IIS), Website, and TTPS used in Windows and Unix environments. , CERN, NCSA, APACHE.

However, the first RSS server and the second RSS server in the form of a web server are understood as a broad concept including a series of application programs for providing various services according to the present invention, in addition to the web server program in a conventional sense. Should be.

① Work flow  One

After the first user creates the content using the first computer (step 110), the first user stores the produced content in a first RSS server connected to the first computer (step 120).

The content produced in step 110 relates to the personal information of the first user who the first user wants to share with the second user. The content is provided with the second user's name (or ID, etc.) for information sharing. 2 Must contain specific elements that can uniquely recognize and map users (the reason for this will be described later). In this case, the name of the second user may correspond to the real name or alias (nickname) of the second user, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the second user who wants the first user to share information together may be one or more than one. If the second user is one, the content created by the first user may be included in the content of one second user. If a name is included and the second user has two or more names, the content produced by the first user needs to include the names of two or more second users.

FIG. 3 is assuming that there are two second users whose names are 'A' and 'B', respectively. That is, after the first user produces the content including the names of 'user A' and 'user B', the first user stores the contents in the first RSS server.

② Work flow  2

When the content produced by the first user is stored in the first RSS server, the agent in the first RSS server matches the ID information with the name of the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server. In operation 130, a second RSS server to be managed is bound to the first RSS server.

At this time, as described above, the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server may be one or more than two, and as a result, the first RSS server and the second RSS server bound to each other may also be one or more than two or more. Can be a dog.
In this step, 'match' refers to a process in which an agent in the first RSS server finds a second RSS server that is in charge of the second user through a name of a second user existing in content stored in the first RSS server. The user will use his or her real name, nickname, or a selected portion of a variety of different languages and notation systems (the present invention is collectively referred to as the user's 'name') as his ID. Thus, name is a broader concept than ID. For example, a real-name user is A, A1, A2, A3. You can use A1 as part of your name, such as. As a result, as described below, the name of the second user included in the content may or may not match the ID of the second user. That is, in the above example, when the name of the second user included in the content is A1, the name of the second user matches the ID of the second user, but when the name of the second user included in the content is A2 The name of the second user does not match the ID of the second user.
If 甲 (first user's name) writes an essay (content) titled 'Travel with 乙 (name of second user), 丙 (name of second user)' and saves it on the first RSS server, In this case, the agent in the first RSS server enters a procedure (matching) to check whether there is an ID matching 乙 and 중 among IDs managed by the second RSS server. At this time, when IDs matching 乙 and 각각 are called ID (乙) and ID (丙), respectively, if all IDs matching 乙 and 존재 exist, the agent will identify the first RSS server, ID (乙) and ID (丙). ), And if there is only a part of IDs matching 乙 and 존재, the agent may connect with the first RSS server or the first RSS server that manages the ID (乙). Only the second RSS server managing ID is connected. In the present invention, a process in which the first RSS server and the second RSS server are interconnected in this manner is called 'binding'.

Meanwhile, the term “agent” refers to a program used to search or extract useful information from the Internet, also called a web agent. In other words, the agent is a software that automatically searches for necessary items among Internet contents, collects and extracts titles, contents, URLs, etc. of the contents, and automatically solves tasks desired by users instead of Internet users.

A typical agent program automatically searches the Internet with preset parameters to collect the necessary information and provide the collected information on a daily or scheduled timeframe.

Agents are classified into information retrieval agents, information filtering agents, information integration agents, and information extraction agents. In this case, the role of the information search agent is to find the information desired by the user, and a search engine is representative. The information filtering agent filters and processes the information according to the user's intention. The information integration agent retrieves and integrates various types of source information, for example, a meta search engine. The information extraction agent extracts the text information of the desired part from the Internet document. On the other hand, the agent according to the present invention combines the functions of some or all of them.

In FIG. 3, the agent in the first RSS server finds the names of each of the second users 'User A' and 'User B' present in the content stored in the first RSS server and the ID information of the second user corresponding thereto. By matching with each other, the second RSS server and the first RSS server managing ID information of 'User A' and 'User B' are bound.

③ Work flow  3

Content stored in the first RSS server is stored (updated) in the second RSS server through communication between the first RSS server and the second RSS server bound to each other (step 140). That is, in FIG. 3, the first RSS server is a second RSS server that manages ID information of 'User A' and 'User B' to update content produced by the first user.

At this time, the first RSS server only updates the corresponding content for the second RSS server managing ID information of 'User A' and 'User B', which are bound to each other, and other RSS not bound to the first RSS server. Do not update the content for the server.

As a result, according to the present invention, 1) it is possible to effectively share information in a private SNS environment where security is considered, such as personal information, because the system analyzes and sets the disclosure target that can share the content, and shares related content. 2) it can selectively provide only the personal information related to the user that could not be provided by the existing shared system, so that the user can be protected from unnecessary information, and 3) the information is not periodically imported. By actively providing relevant information to users when an event occurs, the load on the system can be greatly reduced compared to the conventional method.

④ Work flow  4

The second user automatically receives the content stored in the second RSS server through the second computer connected to the second RSS server by the RSS feeder (step 150).

That is, in FIG. 3, 'user A' and 'user B', which are the second users, automatically receive the content stored in the second RSS server through the second computer. As a result, the second user 'User A' and 'User B' share the contents (personal information) related to 'User A' and 'User B' produced by the first user. In this case, 'User A' and Users other than 'User B' are excluded from sharing.

(2) Type 2: RSS naming server  Used RSS Server share form (see Figure 4)

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of accomplishing the above object, comprising: a plurality of computers, a plurality of RSS servers connected by these computers and RSS feeders, and an RSS relaying content transmission between specific RSS servers. A method of automatically sharing content (personal information) produced by a specific user on a web space where a naming server exists, wherein the first user creates the content using a first computer. Step 210; Step 220 of storing the produced content in a first RSS server connected to the first computer; Step 230, the first RSS server extracting text information related to the name of the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server and transmitting the extracted text information to the RSS naming server; When the RSS naming server finds ID information matching the name of the second user based on the text information received from the first RSS server, the RSS naming server transmits the second RSS server related information managing the ID information to the first RSS server. The 240th step; A step 250 in which the first RSS server transmits the stored content to the second RSS server according to the second RSS server related information received from the RSS naming server; And a step 260, in which the second user automatically receives the content stored in the second RSS server through the second computer connected to the second RSS server by the RSS feeder. It suggests automatic sharing of personal information.

Here, the concept of the first user, the second user, the first computer, the second computer, the first RSS server, the second RSS server, the ID, the ID information, and the RSS server managing the ID information is the same as described above.

① Work flow  One

After the first user produces the content using the first computer (step 210), the first user stores the produced content in a first RSS server connected to the first computer (step 220).

The content produced in step 210 relates to the personal information of the first user that the first user wants to share with the second user. The content is provided with the second user's name (or ID, etc.) for information sharing. 2 Must contain specific elements that can uniquely recognize and map users (the reason for this will be described later). In this case, the name of the second user may correspond to the real name or alias (nickname) of the second user, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the second user who wants the first user to share information together may be one or more than one. If the second user is one, the content created by the first user may be included in the content of one second user. If a name is included and the second user has two or more names, the content produced by the first user needs to include the names of two or more second users.

4 is assuming that there are two second users whose names are 'A' and 'B', respectively. That is, after the first user produces the content including the names of 'user A' and 'user B', the first user stores the contents in the first RSS server.

② Work flow  2, 3

When the content produced by the first user is stored in the first RSS server, the first RSS server extracts text information related to the name of the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server and transmits the text information to the RSS naming server ( Step 230). When the RSS naming server finds ID information matching the name of the second user based on the text information received from the first RSS server, the RSS naming server transmits the second RSS server related information managing the ID information to the first RSS server. (Step 240).

That is, in FIG. 4, when the first RSS server extracts text information related to the names of 'user A' and 'user B' existing in the content and transmits the text information to the RSS naming server, the RSS naming server receives the received information from the first RSS server. When text information is compared with a list of ID information managed by the second RSS server, and when ID information matching the names of 'User A' and 'User B' is found, the second RSS server managing the ID information (that is, ' Information related to the second RSS server managing ID information of the user A 'and the user B' to the first RSS server.
In this step, the text information received by the RSS naming server from the first RSS server includes unique information such as the name of the second user (it may simply be included or specified as a specific tag in the html text). It is. That is, the first RSS server extracts the text information related to the second user's name (real name, nickname, and other various languages and symbols systems that can identify the second user) from the contents stored in the first RSS server, thereby RSS naming. To the server. If 甲 (first user's name) writes an essay (content) titled 乙 (second user's name), 여행 (traveler's name with second user's name) and saves it on the first RSS server, The first RSS server extracts 乙, 인 which is text information related to the name of the second user existing in the content stored in the first RSS server, and delivers them to the RSS naming server. On the other hand, the RSS naming server has a list of information of the RSS server to be matched for each user ID in advance (this is a naming server's own role). Therefore, when the first user records the second user who wants to share information in the content, the system extracts the name keyword of the second user from this and automatically supplies the corresponding content to the second user.

③ Work flow  4

The first RSS server transmits the stored content to the second RSS server according to the second RSS server related information received from the RSS naming server (step 250). That is, in FIG. 4, the first RSS server is a second RSS server that manages ID information of 'User A' and 'User B' to update the content produced by the first user.

At this time, the first RSS server only updates the corresponding content for the second RSS server managing ID information of 'User A' and 'User B', and for other RSS servers that do not receive related information from the RSS naming server. Do not update the content. As a result, according to the present invention, the same effect as in the above-described "agent-based RSS server sharing form" will occur.

④ Work flow  5

The second user automatically receives the content stored in the second RSS server through the second computer connected to the second RSS server by the RSS feeder (step 260).

That is, in FIG. 4, 'user A' and 'user B', which are the second users, automatically receive the content stored in the second RSS server through the second computer. As a result, the second user 'User A' and 'User B' share the contents (personal information) related to 'User A' and 'User B' produced by the first user. In this case, 'User A' and Users other than 'User B' are excluded from sharing.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various modifications, changes, and substitutions may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. will be. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention and the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the technical spirit of the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. . The protection scope of the present invention should be interpreted by the following claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects occur.

1) Since the system analyzes and sets the public object that can share the content and shares the related content, it is possible to effectively share information in a private SNS environment where security is considered such as personal information.

2) Only the personal information related to the user that could not be provided in the existing shared system can be selectively provided, thus protecting the user from unnecessary information.

3) In providing information, it provides users with relevant information when an event occurs rather than a method of periodically retrieving information, which greatly reduces the load on the system compared to the existing method.

Other effects of the present invention, as well as those described in the above-described embodiments and claims of the present invention, as well as potential effects that may occur within the range that can be easily estimated therefrom and potential advantages that contribute to industrial development It will be added that it will be covered by a wider scope.
