Description

PROVIDING METHOD OF TEST RANKING INFORMATION BASED ON DIGITAL MAP}

The present invention relates to a method for providing electronic map-based test ranking information. In particular, an electronic map-based method for displaying a ranking of each participant using a test content by applying a concept of local area or locality to a digitally generated map. It relates to a method for providing test ranking information.

The server or site that brokers the game (called a server or site or less, for example, battle.net, etc.) or a quiz-related site manages the performance or score of each participant in terms of total points or how many wins and losses. There is a system. However, this method has the following problems.

First, there is no way of knowing the participant's ranking by region. For example, in sports such as boxing, Korea ranked few. It is possible to know the relative rank of regional units, such as the twentieth place in the East and the dominant place in the world. However, according to the method of managing ranking in various activities or activities online or offline including games on a network, only relative ranks in the largest regional unit that the site intends to manage are presented.

And only the participants with the highest relative rank at the largest regional unit that the site wants to manage because there are no detailed regional units are displayed in the ranking. In other words, the ranking of the province, city, county, town, town, town, town, town, etc. is not displayed, and the ranking is not displayed for the new categories generated by these various categories or combinations thereof. to be.

Also, no effective match can be made. In various activities or activities online or offline, including games, etc., it is more interesting if the opponents have a similar level. If the level of difference with the opponent is too great or the task to be solved is too different from the level of the participant, various activities or activities online or offline, including the game, are not very interesting. The immersion in various activities or activities online or offline, including games, etc., tends to fall. That is, the conventional win or lose or point management method can not effectively obtain the information that can be connected to the match can be a random match, or the match (match) of the match is not precise. Accordingly, random selection of opponent's choice by one's own will be induced, which hinders the increase of interest of various activities or activities online or offline, including games through optimized selection.

In addition, only a simple result is output for the activity or activity of the activity on or off-line including the game of the participant (e.g., whether or not there is a win or loss, a win rate, a score or a point, etc.) As a result, the analysis of the results is lowered, which reduces the overall immersion in the game.

Also, if you are not first in a large unit or top ranking (e.g. domestic or first in the world), your presence on the network becomes less known to others and your satisfaction with showing off The degree of self-satisfaction is lowered, thereby reducing the degree of immersion in various activities or activities online or offline, including games, and failing to properly meet a desire of achievement.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, by displaying the ranking in the category to which each participant belongs to the electronic map in various ways according to the selection of the participant to induce self confirmation and self-satisfaction of the participant, The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic map-based test ranking information providing method and a test ranking information providing system that can enhance the satisfaction of use of test contents and cause interest by facilitating competition and test teaching among test participants.

The connection is facilitated.

As a result, the self-confirmation and self-satisfaction of the participant can be induced, and the game contention can be enhanced by facilitating the competition between the game participants and the game lessons.

Basic configuration

In various activities or activities online or offline, including one game, one participant who belongs to a specific rank among the entire participant group is ranked according to the group category.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the following is described. Living in an apartment in Sinrim 9-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea, graduated from Department of C, College of A, College of B and College of D, located in Jongno-gu, ranked 12345 in Korea and 123456 in the world. Seoul may be ranked 1234 for the ranking, 123 for the ranking in Gwanak-gu, 12 for the overall ranking in Sillim-dong, and 1 for the 9th ranking in Sillim-dong.

In addition, this participant's own A university ranking is 2345, B college ranking is 234, C department ranking is 23rd, and the ranking between D student number like his own may be second. The participant is also ranked 5th in his chosen company E and 1st in proxy.

In other words, since the ranking is relative, the numerical value of the ranking will change even though the same ranking procedure is applied depending on how the comparative group is selected. In general, the smaller the size of the comparison group in the same series, the higher the ranking.

The ranking of these participants may be based on each item of various activities or activities, including games selected by the participant, and games according to given, created, or created categories. The result data of various activities or activities on or off-line included can be made into a DB.

The present invention relates to a process and system for collecting ranking information on application targets that can be ranked like a game and displaying detailed ranking information for each category of a game player on a medium such as an electronic map. Such a process is called ranking. .

Basic composition of various activities or activities online or offline including games

As a representative application object of the ranking concept described by the present invention, there are various online games such as StarCraft, in which a win or loss is divided by accumulating and accumulating the ranking by connecting to a network using a PC as a terminal.

In competitive online games such as StarCraft, the game's players record their wins through multiple matches against an unspecified number of people over a period of time, and these records are accumulated and ranked. Generally, only the league rankings are managed for a certain period of time. If various pieces of personal information such as gender, region, occupation, and affiliation have been entered for a game player, detailed ranking management for each player's category is performed. It is possible. In particular, if the ranking by category can be visualized by the participant's choice in a visual medium such as an electronic map, most participants who do not reach a certain level in the total participant will be satisfied with the desire to be special. New immersion and motivation are possible. The overall flow that makes up this is:

39, the ranking is displayed on the electronic map for the target category selected by the participant.

That is, firstly, a participant of a game is a participant in a ranking management system, such as a user number (hereinafter referred to as a user number or ID), gender, address, occupation, position, hobby, club, religion, school, age, and family. The ranking management system manages the necessary information or personal information DB for each participant by inputting necessary information or personal information that can be categorized by the categories to which they belong. The more detailed and diverse this necessary or personal information is, the more likely it is that multiple rankings will be possible, thus increasing the likelihood of higher rankings.

Second, the result of various activities or activities (such as winning or losing) online or offline including a specific game is generated as a result of performing various activities or activities online or offline including a game.

Third, the performance result is automatically transmitted to the management system by the participant himself or the system of the game content provider.

Fourth, the management system analyzes the transmitted results and stores them in the DB by analyzing and processing data (including statistical processing). (393) At this time, various methods are available for data processing. In the case of a game where the goal is to destroy the opponents, and therefore the meaning of the victory or defeat is clear, it may be ranked simply as a win rate. On the other hand, if there are methods in which the number of items acquired, the level of character level increase, and the difficulty of mission success are scored to indicate the achievement of the participant in the process of winning or losing, all of them It can be linked to the final score of the ranking according to a predetermined formula. In addition, the final score may be added or subtracted according to the number of wins, losses, draws, or disconnections in consideration of the number of wins as well as the win rate, and the score of such a match may be separately managed according to the level of the opponent of the match. . For example, the outcome of a game with Seoul's No. 1 winner and the game with a novice gamer just entering the game can be managed separately by introducing the concept of weight. If it is not a game but a ranking model that manages the scores of several games, the concept of weight is also introduced according to the difficulty of the game, so that a relatively easy and accessible game such as Tetris is low in weight, and a long time like Diablo. A game that requires time and effort has a high weight, so a model for managing integrated game rankings is possible.

Fifth, if the participant selects a specific category on the electronic map. This selection is sent to the management system (394).

Sixth, the management system transmits the data in the DB corresponding to this particular category so that it can be displayed on the participant's electronic map. (395)

In order to achieve the object of the present invention has the following hardware configuration is shown in FIG. First, there is a management system (031), inside the management system is a server (032), an information DB (033) and optionally a homepage or personal space (034) for each participant, optionally a geographic information system DB or server (037) And (037 '), which may be from outside. Then, there are participants 036 and 036 ', and a content providing computer such as a game is outside 037 or inside 037' of the management system. Each of these components is connected by a network, and the various connection lines of FIG. 3 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

Basic composition of invention with commerce concept

The application of rankings can be applied to online games, which are usually ranked in general because the winning and losing and the data collection can proceed automatically, based on the participants' necessary information or personal information about what can be ranked. The basic concept that multiple rankings can be applied to a medium such as an electronic map can be applied to various fields. Representatively, the application of the ranking to a commerce company that is determined to be effective in multiple rankings will be described in detail.

I would like to give an example of a restaurant among many commerce sectors. Information about restaurants is extensive and varied on the Internet. Sites that provide information by type and characteristic of restaurants are innumerable, including various lifestyle / cultural portal sites. However, in view of the fact that a restaurant is an item that imposes a certain amount of positional constraint on the user, most of the information about the restaurant is based on an extensive region such as Seoul, or lists the entire restaurant information. It is not just an introduction that there are such restaurants by type of restaurant, or only providing information about one or two restaurants such as an introduction to recommended restaurants.

Measure the satisfaction of food and service of general users and quantify it as an objective score or select a group that can be called an expert on taste and request a survey on it, and based on this, rank each restaurant in detail based on the score of each restaurant. , Or if the level can be leveled, collects, maintains, and manages information on the restaurant to create a DB for the restaurant, and visualize the ranking information by the category of the restaurant by category or by category on the electronic map by the user's selection. Or it can be displayed impressively. For example, if a user who accesses the ranking management system selects a detailed regional category called Sillim-dong on an electronic map and selects an attribute category called Chinese house, it will pop up on the electronic map in various formats such as popping up the first Chinese pavilion and the second place. The third ranking information such as blue dragon corner .... will come out.

The basic process of operation of the ranking management system for such a commerce (for example, restaurant) company is as follows.

That is, first, necessary information or personal information about a restaurant, such as a kind, a location, a size, a chain store, etc., is input, maintained, and managed in a ranking management system. Maintenance means continuous information management for a company that has been closed due to poor entry and new sales.

Second, information about basic data that can form a restaurant ranking in the ranking information acquisition system by general user evaluation or expert evaluation is transmitted.

Third, the management system analyzes the transmitted results and processes them (including statistical processing) and stores them in a DB linked with the electronic map.

Fourth, if the user selects a specific category related to the restaurant on the electronic map, this selection is sent to the management system.

Fifth, the management system sends the data on the DB corresponding to this particular category selected to be displayed on the participant's electronic map.

Definition of terms and what each term contains

The conceptual scope of terms used in the present invention includes the conventional dictionary meanings and the concepts described below.

Games etc

A game, a quiz, a tournament, a game, a test (test), such as a variety of online or offline activities or performances such as winning or losing, scoring, ranking, etc. collectively referred to as a game. Of course, it is of course excluded when referring to a game as a content, and this general term applies when it includes a doing something or an activity meaning. The above is also the same as below. Descriptions of games, etc., may be used mutatis mutandis in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions of goods or services. In the case of mutatis mutandis, the parenthesis mentions that "the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity or performance in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions via goods or services".

Participant

A participant is an activity, subject to the present invention. As a person who uses time in the process and acts as a natural person who can play games, quizzes, competitions, tests, evaluations, etc. Not only does it include a group of contracts, such as a combination of awards, but it also includes a group of each of them. These participants are sometimes referred to as netizens if they are acting on the network, and they are called consumers, suppliers, users, users, etc. when they purchase or supply certain products or services. Also, if an actor conducts an evaluation, it becomes an evaluator.

Computer user

A computer user refers to a user who uses a computer. In the present invention, a computer refers to a PC, a PDA, a notebook, a palm top, an e-book, a work station, a mini Central processing unit (CPU) such as a computer (mini computer), a super computer, a cellular phone (mobile phone), a beeper, a game machine (e.g., Play Station 2 from SONY), a digital TV, etc. ), Any machine with the ability to connect to a network, wired or wireless.

Electronic map

An electronic map is a concept that includes a geographic information system (GIS). It is not a real boundary but a boundary similar to the real, so that any map in digital form can be recognized as a map from the outside. It can be displayed or expressed on the display device of the computer user. More details about the term electronic maps are detailed in the section called Electronic Maps as a Component.

Surrounding and purpose category

Surrounding 121 and target category 122 are defined. The purpose category is a set of categories that the user wants to know the results of the ranking and the like, and the surroundings are a higher category surrounding the category or a parallel category set having a ranking equal to the purpose category.

Ranking management system

Results of participants, various category information, electronic map information, games, etc. (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). And store all information such as ranking basic information such as evaluation, ranking information processed based on this, and process such information, and interact with the participant, user, content provider or their system to obtain the ranking information for the participant, user, evaluator, manager It refers to a system that becomes a subject to be displayed on an electronic map to a spectator, etc.

Content providers (such as games or games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, or performance in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services) (products or services subject to evaluation or transaction). There are basically three relationships between the participant and the ranking management system.

First, the content providers of games, etc. (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). In the case of management, that is, the content provider and the management / system are the same subjects, and the participants have a 1: 1 bilateral relationship. In this case, the above process is basically applied. When one content provider provides a plurality of games or the like, the content provider may integrate and manage the ranking of the participants for the plurality of games or the like.

Second, operate independently from the content provider who manages the ranking of games, etc. (Games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis, activities, performances, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). It is possible to establish a relationship in which the ranking management system and the participant such as a game have a three-sided relationship. The relationship between them can be formed in several detail types as follows. First, the participant directly connects to the content provider to play a game, etc., and the content provider provides the result of the game to the management system, and the participant returns to the management system through the content provider or directly accesses to display his ranking. How to see. Second, the participants access the management system using the ranking management system as a portal (portal portal), access games, etc. from the management system, and provide content to the management system. Based on this result, the ranking of each participant can be displayed. This method is especially effective when there are a lot of games managed by the management system, and can maximize the convenience of each participant.

Third, the participant shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transaction through goods or services in the game or the like (games used in this paragraph, etc.) in his / her homepage or virtual space created exclusively for himself / herself. It is a way to access a content provider who provides. At this time, the management system should exist on the participant's homepage or its virtual space, and the participant's personal management system may be provided by the content provider, and a person who operates the entire management system may set up a personal management system for the individual's homepage or his / her own. It can be provided in a virtual space, or by linking the entire management system with the personal management system, so that the data processing is done by the whole management system and the results are sent to the personal management system, where the personal management system can show the results to the participants. Here, the content provider and the entire management system provider may coincide.

Results of the performance of the participant's game provided by the management system for each participant (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). You can design a labeling system for. The management system can provide each participant with a management space (hereinafter referred to as homepage homepage) that manages their results collectively. Essentially, this homepage has various categories such as games, electronic maps and diagrams that show their rankings, and, optionally, cyber emblems (games, marks, symbols, pictograms, emblems, The title of the game is collectively referred to as the "sign", and it provides a game record or game history that records the date of the game, opponents, results, victory points, and other game-related matters.

Virtuality

Virtuality is the amount that the destination category has to do with the physical entity and the degree of 1: 1 correspondence. In other words, although the administrative category is completely 1: 1 in correspondence with the physical entity, the virtual group has a low virtuality, but the group meeting in the virtual space has high conceptuality because there is a conceptual entity but no physical entity. College departments have spaces such as certain buildings, but the group has more than physical space, so virtual images are higher than administrative district categories.

Vertical and horizontal categories

Categories in administrative divisions are called vertical categories because they are vertically layered.

Participants' choice of spatial areas (other countries, streets, school buildings, apartments, etc.) and conceptual groups (company, department, class, student number, grade, class reunion, employee, deputy, manager, manager) An ineffective or ineffective group on the map, such as the position or rank of a social living unit, may be a category, and these are referred to as 'horizontal categories'.

You can think of a category called a field. Examples include specific games (e.g. StarCraft), quizzes in certain fields (e.g. current affairs), competitions in certain areas (e.g. outside maths), and specific exams (e.g. TOEIC). Can be.

The categories can be yearly, seasonally, monthly, weekly, daily, or full-time.

Network

Network is a concept that encompasses the Internet, intranet, extranet and various wired and wireless data communication networks, which are used as a means of transmitting digital data in society. First, wired internet network through cable, ADSL, PSTN, ISDN, power line internet, and second IMT. Third, including wireless data networks such as telecommunication networks provided by broadband mobile operators such as 2000, IS 95-A, IS 95-B, IS 95-C, CDMA 2000, GSM, UMTS, and medium-range wireless networks such as 802.11b. It includes a connection method such as a combination of short-range data communication technology such as Bluetooth, IrDA, and wired Internet network, or a combination of short-range wireless communication and broadband / medium range wireless network. Fourth, examples of frequency common communication system and fifth satellite communication network. can do

Local Terms

Local means local, not absolute size, but relative. For example, if there is an organizational system for geographic areas such as Orient, Country, City, County, Town, East, Gu, Li, Myeon, Tong, Van, etc. The unit has meaning as local. A region is represented by a local area, and locality or locality refers to a local or local attribute.

Control

The area in which he or she is ranked 1 or higher ranked, and the term 'dominant area' is used as follows.

Elements of the Basic Configuration

Target of ranking

In the previous basic configuration, examples of rankings for games and commerce were presented. The object of ranking is essentially anything that can be ranked. Analyzing the various aspects of ordering things.

First, they do not interact with each other with competing things, but appear as objective performance. The superiority is masked by subjective evaluators and their own judgment.

Second, the superiority is divided through the close interaction with each other. The goal is to knock down each other first or hit more opponents to damage them, or to win the opponent by achieving higher achievements in one space and one event.

Third, absolute evaluations are possible, and results are comparable regardless of their will. For example, Toefl scores are taken every day and are not a confrontation with the opponent, but the resulting scores and the superiority between the parties and others are comparable.

Fourth, when the evaluation of environmental beautification in elementary school is possible, the scoring is possible and the comparison is possible by making evaluation criteria, assigning detailed scorecards and assigning weights. You can play a kind of game to cultivate the character and make a score based on the character level, upgrade level, and the number of items collected.

Fifth, there is a comparison between groups and between groups. Students can compare their grades at Friendship High School and compare them with Love High School based on average, high score, low score, and selection group score.

Sixth, if there are goals that need to be achieved, how quickly they are achieved and how close they are to the current goal are compared.

Seventh, the statistically comparable ones include how many audiences a movie has attracted, and the number of votes received as a result of the election.

The evaluation of the object can be evaluated on an objective basis or on a subjective basis, and the evaluation result may be compared with others after playing a game or taking a test. In some cases, the evaluation results may be referred to.

Learning process of ranking database

The process of initially setting the ranking or the process of collecting the ranking database will be described in detail.

If you go online

First, the process of creating a ranking for a game or the like that is played online (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). It can be summarized in two ways as follows.

First, the largest category is the person who first accesses this game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph applies mutatis mutandis, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). It is a process in which the ranking of each category is readjusted according to the result of the game, such as a game between interest and another person. For example, if a person living in 9-dong, Sinrim 9-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul is the first person in Korea to play a game, he is ranked first on the map of Korea. If he loses afterwards, he will be No. 1 in Gwanak-gu. If he loses to Gwanak-gu, he will be No. 1 in Sillim-dong, and his ranking will be displayed on the electronic map over time.

Second, comprehensively evaluate the results of various competitions, comparisons, and netizens' evaluations over a period of time to determine the ranking at a time. Based on this ranking, games or other products (games used in this paragraph) The new rankings can be adjusted by proceeding with any process, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or emergency transactions.

If you include offline elements

If you describe the process of setting up a ranking for an application that is offline or similarly, you can think about a participant's ranking, the manager of the ranking management system can act as an investigator. This can be done by the agent, or the user of the game or application target feedback information to accumulate the ranking DB.

An example of the ranking DB is detailed in FIG. 1. First, an example of two DBs of information on the ranking in the category of administrative divisions of a specific game taxer named StarCraft means that the rankings are created and managed according to the expansion and contraction of administrative districts, and according to the reference time. It shows that the contents of the DB are different. Third, the example of ranking in a category that is university-specific in a specific game called StarCraft DB example shows that ranking-related DB can be formed and managed in groups or categories with virtuality. The last DB example shows that the ranking information in each combination area can be generated and managed when two or more categories belonging to one level belong to each individual.

Figure 1 illustrates a data information DB for a specific category for a specific game, etc. for a specific person, where the ranking (rank) information DB configured for the 'specific game' is an e-commerce or The same shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity or performance of an emergency transaction. The example of mutatis mutandis is as follows.

In the contents of the ranking data information DB shown in FIG. 1, if a specific product or service is replaced in place of 'Starcraft' in a specific game position, an example of the ranking data DB for the specific product or service is provided. For example, if you place a "flower shop" in place of "Starcraft", the first example of the database DB of Figure 1 is an example of ranking in the category of administrative area for the flower shop.

The DB containing the ranking data forward in this specification includes not only the DB shown by way of example in FIG. 1, but also the one which is replaced and applied mutatis mutandis to the specific disclosure of the invention in a specific person, a specific game, and a specific category. In this regard, it shall include mutatis mutandis the ranking-related DB that occurs for any activity, activity or performance in electronic commerce or non-commercial transaction through 'goods or services'. Same as below.

DB accumulation method

The ranking management system manager selects a list of targets for the existing targets, selects a person or a set of people who can or can use the targets, or selects a statistically significant unspecified number. There is a method of accumulating DB regarding ranking by performing a direct survey. A direct survey is any off-line survey that allows you to list the rankings directly or assign appropriate scores to the subjects in each list to determine the rankings through their score processing. Such investigations may be carried out by the manager of the management system or by its agent.

When the user (or participant) of the game or application object transfers the evaluation information about the ranking to the ranking management system and describes the process of accumulating the ranking DB, it can be divided into the following two. First, after the user experiences the application target, the subjective evaluation information based on the experience is delivered to the system administrator, and the system administrator can process the score to rank the system manager. Second, the system administrator can evaluate the user objectively. The list of evaluation targets is described in order to facilitate the evaluation, the details of the evaluation are described, and the user is connected to the evaluation information acquisition system that can help the evaluation by presenting the criteria for evaluation. There is a way to automatically accumulate this in the ranking DB.

The first implementation of subjective feedback can be done by using the usual means of communication, such as direct visits, letters, and telephones, to the management entity of the management system. Such communication means also include any electronic communication means such as e-mail, instant messenger, note, SMS, Wap Push, mail service on wireless network, and writing on bulletin board.

In the second objective evaluation information acquisition system, the user may use the terminal equipment (mobile phone, PDA, notebook, PC, network computer, at the place where the object is used immediately after use of the application object or at any desired place after accumulating the use experience). It can be connected to the evaluation information acquisition system of the ranking management system via a network using an electronic card, an IC card, and any terminal device used for end users on a network of various digital terminals. Evaluate according to the procedure.

A transit network is a concept that encompasses the Internet, intranet, extranet, and various wired and wireless data communication networks used as a means of transmitting digital data in society. Firstly, the wired internet network through cable, ADSL, PSTN, ISDN, power line Internet, etc. Second, it includes wireless data networks such as telecommunication networks provided by broadband mobile operators such as IMT 2000, IS 95-A, IS 95-B, IS 95-C, CDMA 2000 and medium-range wireless networks such as 802.11. And connection methods such as a combination of short-range data communication technology such as IrDA and wired Internet network or a combination of short-range wireless communication and broadband / medium range wireless network. Fourth, examples of frequency common communication system and fifth satellite communication network can be exemplified. have.

The reason for having such an action by the person providing the evaluation information accumulated in the ranking DB is as follows. After using or experiencing the evaluation object, the satisfaction of the evaluation object may be particularly well known and praised and shared with others.On the contrary, when the dissatisfaction degree is particularly blamed or demands correction, and wants to share it with others, The user will act as a self-motivated information provider. In order to facilitate this, it is necessary to present the contact information (contact method) to the administrator or management entity of the information acquisition system so that the information can be easily delivered after the user uses the object. To provide. For example, a telephone number that is suggested by the bus user to inform the user of the inconvenience or illegal driving is used. The contact information is an e-mail address, a messenger account ID, a homepage, and a phone page. When an administrator of a ranking system knows which users are using the application or can extract statistically meaningful groups, the administrator can call, e-mail, mail, or push over these groups of users. By presenting evaluation methods and contacts using services, the user group can be encouraged to provide evaluation information about rankings.

Definition of the Named Bearer User System

When a user who provides ranking information accesses the evaluation information acquisition system and provides an evaluation, it is divided into an anonymous user system and a named user system depending on whether or not the user provides the personal information related to the user. Named user system is a system that can input user's personal information when it joins such information acquisition system and update it later, or when accessing the information acquisition system through terminal equipment such as electronic resident card, IC card, mobile phone, etc. It is a system that can pass over minimal human information.

Configuration for an anonymous user system

In the case of an anonymous user, the evaluation information may be redundant because the identity information about the evaluator is not known, and may raise questions about the justification of the sample population. If the credibility of the evaluation by the evaluator with question of identity is raised, this is also a problem of the reliability of ranking based on it. Thus, this anonymous evaluator system is applicable when the participant is not very sensitive to the ranking for that application. If the number of evaluators is too high to ensure the reliability of statistical theory and empirical evaluation, or if the cost of the evaluator's operation is higher than the profits gained from the ranking, the imaginary evaluator cannot be manipulated. The reliability can be secured.

Such a premise can be realized in many ways. For example, this may be possible if the place where the evaluator makes the assessment or the electronic implementation device is taken over by the ranking manager or an organization that has objective credibility so as not to tolerate the domination or manipulation of the participant. Alternatively, even if the participant to be evaluated physically owns the terminal device for evaluation, a structure may be created in order to make an evaluation by inputting by personalized and official electronic property such as an electronic resident card or a credit card. In the case of an electronic resident card or credit card of a pre-registered participant, the evaluation system does not identify the evaluator's identity information with each individual property. Saved as a DB to check the number of daily, weekly, yearly inputs, and if the number is too large, create an algorithm to exclude from the evaluation input to prevent the manipulated evaluation in advance.

In addition, the use of a portable communication terminal (including a mobile phone, or a digital TV capable of bidirectional communication, etc.) enables the concept of an abstract source as an anonymous being. In other words, a unique number is assigned to the CPU of the mobile phone, which is assigned to the owner of the mobile phone, etc., one per mobile phone. When the evaluation information is transferred to the receiver, the evaluation information is anonymous. It has high reliability as a source of. For example, when performing a calculation after receiving a service at a coffee shop, the user may input his or her evaluation information to a reception device of the coffee shop using a mobile phone or the like. This is particularly useful when making small payments with a mobile phone, etc., which can be sent along with evaluation information in the process of approving or after approval. At this time, the information about the amount of payment and the evaluation information may go to the same place (if the operating subjects are the same), go to the subject managing the evaluation information via one subject, or immediately sent to the evaluation information management subject. Can be. At this time, the side receiving the evaluation information, the owner corresponding to the unique number, such as a mobile phone can compensate for the input of the evaluation information, and also update the DB through the input evaluation information, and reflect it in the ranking information Can be.

In particular, when a unique number is assigned to various input devices, if the focus is on a one-to-one correspondence between the unique number and the owner of the device, and if the owner's information is present in the registration process of the unique number, the unique number Since it may have a kind of named property, the configuration of the following named user system is also applicable. That is, the recognition of the unique number itself has a similar property to the input of the ID, and accessing the network through such a terminal already has the characteristics of Log on or Log in.

Configuration for Named User Systems

Named user systems can be divided into two cases. First, a user of an application target who can perform an evaluator role on a homepage or a virtual space managed by a ranking management system first joins and is given his or her account (ID). This ID can be used later when the user uses the application target and enters evaluation data. Second, when a user who has not previously subscribed to the ranking management system uses the application object and inputs the evaluation information, the identity information of the evaluator is transmitted to the ranking management system to secure the identity of the named user and the evaluator. The user's identity information can be input to the terminal device at the time of evaluation, such as name, age, address, educational background and gender, or automatically transmitted to the ranking evaluation system from the personalized property such as resident card or credit card. To do it. At this time, the user identity information entered into the resident card is classified into basic information and secret information, etc., and only basic information is automatically transmitted, and secret information can be transmitted only after confirmation by the user.

In the case of a named user system, it is possible to think of a compensation system for providing accurate evaluation information by creating a user authentication and compensation management system that provides evaluation information (this will be described in detail later). If you get a system that can get this, it could be written as Given that the ranking of the participant who is the subject of the ranking is detailed and personalized according to the category in the category to which the participant belongs, the categories of evaluators who use and evaluate the subject can also be classified into various categories. In this case, the ranking for each category of the detailed application object for the detailed user category may be defined.

For example, suppose that pool A is ranked 31st in Seoul, 8th in Gwanak-gu, and 1st in Sillim-dong. You can see that the ranking changes according to the vertical vertical category by region, and A can be categorized by the evaluator who gives the ranking by using and evaluating the application object. It is ranked 6th in Gwanak-gu, 1st in Sillim-dong, and 40th in Seoul, 10th in Gwanak-gu, and 2nd in Sillim-dong for teenage girls.

Data processing

In one game, the results of the match are statistically counted. In other words, when a win or loss or a score is determined in a match, the management system performs statistical processing based on the result data. In the simplest case, the statistical results are the result of winning or losing, such as the overall or each unit's win rate, the win rate for each condition, and the like, and the results under various conditions and categories can be displayed in various graphs such as circles and bar lines. It can be processed in order to be displayed on the electronic map, and in the case of more than 1: 1, a plurality of game results are analyzed by various categories, conditions, units, and conditions input by the user. It is to show the result on the electronic map. For example, if you think of a strategy simulation game in which you choose one of several races, develop it, expand its territory, complete missions in stages, or battle your opponents to win allied races. Is possible. As a way to measure the achievement of a mission in a game, you can measure resource harvesting, unit creation, territorial expansion, mission completion time, enemy unit killing, and enemy base destruction. The odds for each race selection can be calculated. When the game results are accumulated and managed by game, the game participant's tactics, strategy type analysis, and achievement increase / decrease analysis can be performed to enhance the game immersion effect of the participant and to analyze the self. .

As mentioned above, weighting according to various options is an important factor that can have a large impact throughout the ranking.

The majority of persons when playing games (such as the games used in this paragraph) in accordance with any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Consider a ranking display method for. That is, if a large number of people play a game or the like in one group, the ranking of the group unit may be displayed on the electronic map by replacing the individual with the group in the above process. That is, the game is given an ID to each participant in order to specify the participant, but the group is specified only by the group ID. The result of the game or the like is primarily indicated by the ranking of the group or the like, and may also be used as a basic material for determining the ranking of the individual participating in the group. In other words, if the group wins, the result of the win or loss may be reflected on each participant or the like.

In the case of rankings for commerce applications, more complex processes may be applied, such as evaluation by simple dichotomous logic such as win or lose.

In this case, the rating of the user group or expert group that ranks the ranking is used as the ranking information. For example, as follows. In the simplest case, a user who asks a restaurant can ask a question that provides the following example:

If the service or product is targeted, it may be dichotomously asked whether it is satisfied or not satisfied, or input evaluation information. More complicatedly, first, excellent, second, very good third, Good Fourth Bad Fifth Very Bad You can segment and ask questions or type them in the same way. The user selects or selects one view among them, and the ranking management system scores it (for example, 10 points of satisfaction, 1 point of dissatisfaction, etc.), and accumulates the evaluation of the same object by multiple people. Through statistical processing on the score data, the total score of the restaurant can be known, and the ranking is determined by comparing and analyzing these by categories or by attributes.

For a more sophisticated ranking, a series of assessment questions can be created asking for the value, utility, and satisfaction of various aspects of the application. If the user's feedback on these evaluation questions is accumulated, more comprehensive evaluation is possible. In the case of restaurants, it is possible to evaluate factors such as employee service, variety of menus, taste of each menu, cleanliness, coziness of seats and dining areas, and delivery time, and overall scores are considered by weight. The information may be determined by the users who use the information, or the ranking management system may set the weight. Giving criteria such as early weights may vary dynamically.

In addition, the use of questions that ask for multiple aspects can have the additional effect of enabling multiple rankings for each aspect.

For example, if we diversify a set of questions about customers who use Chinese homes and score them collectively or individually, the sum is "Hui Bin Lu is the best Chinese customer satisfaction in Sillim-dong. It's a pipe. " This can effectively respond to the search of the person who wants to use the ranking information. In other words, when a user accesses a site or space where a user can search for ranking information and searches for a provider of a service or a product that he / she wants, he or she enters a search word containing what he / she wants in a search box, etc. After analyzing the information, the user may provide the best matching information with respect to the information input by the user by querying his or an external ranking information DB. At this time, the local information DB corresponding to the IP address of the user (where all users accessing the network have an address on the protocol, and the Internet protocol also has an IP address system, and the local area corresponding to the IP address) area or access point is assigned.) When accessing a mobile phone, etc., the user's location tracking information is used (for example, when calling a mobile phone in SNU, the base station around SNU determines the location of the user of the cellular phone). It can be identified at a level within a few kilometers, that is, at least in Gwanak-gu (the administrative district to which Seoul National University belongs), even if it is not exactly anywhere within SNU. , This location allows the user to enter a location This saves you the trouble of typing. That is, the default position may be automatically selected for the position input. Of course, this default location can be modified to the location or location desired by the user.

The process of ranking on media such as electronic maps

Electronic map

Ranking is basically a ranking DB for a certain application object is collected, the data is processed according to the user's choice and request, and multiple rankings are calculated, and the user can interact with information requests such as clicks in media such as electronic maps. When it shows (Display).

There may be various ways of implementing the electronic map. First, a computer user can drive his or her own computer away from the network to drive an electronic map of a desired region through a built-in memory to visually display it. Electronic map configuration and information can be embedded in generalized main / secondary storage devices such as RAM, ROM, HDD, FDD, etc., and when a large capacity is used, magnetic tape, CD-ROM, DVD, Zip Drive, various magnetic, optical It can be stored in a large capacity auxiliary memory device such as Drive.

* Currently, the method of providing electronic map service through a network can be considered as a service for a specific user based on a client / server and a service for an unspecified number through a web. In general, the Internet GIS that a user connects to a homepage through a web browser is divided into CGI-based, Plug-In, Active X-based, and Java-based implementation methods. The person providing the electronic map service and the person managing the ranking management system and providing the ranking may or may not match.

An electronic map generally means that a general two-dimensional map displayed on paper is displayed on a computer display in a simplified or refined form. An electronic map, which is a medium of ranking, is a two-dimensional map commonly displayed on a flat computer monitor. It includes a pseudo-3D map that considers the point of view of the user, and can be extremely detailed above the general GIS level, and simplified according to the category level of the ranking participant. It can be processed to capture only information. For example, the latter, along with the outline of the outlined or simplified borderline of Seoul, and the addition of the place name 'Seoul Metropolitan City' within the contour, would mark the region at the level of public awareness of Korea (the higher region including Seoul Metropolitan City). Can be recognized as Seoul Metropolitan Government. In other words, the relationship between Korea (upper regional category) and Seoul (subregional category) is conceptually the same as that between Seoul and Gwanak-gu.

Scope of the Concept Covered by the Electronic Map to be Used in the Present Invention The electronic map conceptually includes the following types.

First, there is a similar three-dimensional map with two-dimensional or three-dimensional effect that is displayed on a display device such as a monitor in response to the user's needs by constructing a DB by processing geographical information as electronic information and processing it. There are electronic maps that can be displayed to the user in true three dimensions using holographic 3D graphics and virtual reality technology. That is, the concept of excluding the output on a medium such as paper among all the maps produced electronically for the purpose of providing geographical information.

Second, conceptual maps of highly virtualized categories can be given. For example, abstracting and hierarchizing government organizations or school organizations, and displaying them as conceptual maps. For example, divide Gwanak University into colleges, beauty colleges, music colleges, humanities colleges, social colleges, colleges, etc., divide each college into departments, and divide each department into classes in grades and grades. On a map. Groups are represented by figures or images, such as the name of each group or a box with an icon symbolizing them, and the hierarchical relationship between the groups is represented by lines, shades, and colors connecting the groups. In other words, conceptually, the upper and lower concepts can be created by visually expressing the upper and lower concepts, and a kind of conceptual map is created. This can create a conceptual map of all the objects with vertical or horizontal organization that correspond to the organization chart. For example, any organization that has an organization, such as a government organization or a company organization, can be represented as a conceptual map. When you associate an individual with the address where he or she lives (111-11, 9-dong, Sinrim, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea), as you can assign local categories of the various upper and lower levels, within the place where the person works and within the person's organization You can match the position 1: 1. (Eg, Hong Gil-dong-Government-Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy-Patent Office-Seoul Office-Civil Office, Kukjeong Jung-Samsung Group-Samsung Electronics-Management Support Office-Management Strategy Team etc. can be assigned or assigned)

In a simpler way, a conceptual map of a highly virtualized category can have a person, user, or subject within an organization or category simply by textifying it and processing just a box to provide hierarchical ranking. Location can be mapped and visually specified.

Extending the concept of electronic maps, you can use bulletin boards, media, regional media, newslines sent to PC rooms, virtual reality, whether virtual or high, using virtual reality technology, such as cyber villages or cyber organizational structures. We can assume a complete cyber space where humans can perceive the five senses.

If a conceptual group is not based on a physical entity, or is a highly virtual group, or if there is an electronic map representing that group, then the conceptual map also has boundaries. , The upper and lower categories to which the individual or subject belongs, will be specified. This is a map of digital data, both of which shows the ranking on a normal electronic map, so that the implementation, operation, and interaction method is used at the display stage. Conceptually there is no difference.

For example, in more detail: A map may be formed virtually displaying the space, or a diagram representing a hierarchy of groups may be formed as shown in FIG. 13, and then the participants may correspond to a specific category and display rankings. 137), (138), (139)

For example: If there is a hierarchy named Zerg user of the StarCraft group in the game group of the HITELS hobby group, the Zerg user group becomes the lowest group (136), and the StarCraft group becomes the upper group. . Here, the hightel is the highest group, but may assume a higher group higher than this (for example, the domestic PC communication network 131), and again generate a subgroup under the Zerg user group. Here again, the specific category becomes the destination category, and the upper category of this category is around. At this time, similar to the electronic map method, when interacting with 131, the subcategory of 131 is advanced to the detailed category. The lower figure of FIG. 13 shows that each subcategory can be shown to participants in a pyramid structure.

Various classifications by various standards

If the electronic map is classified by information storage media type,

First, there is an electronic map that collects and processes map information based on a wired network. It connects to a map providing server of a website or an intranet and receives map information via a network.

Second, in the case of wireless networks, geographic and hierarchical displays can be made, which can be divided into text bases and graphic bases according to transmission speeds and display conditions.

Third, map information embedded in the main memory device or the auxiliary memory device of the computer is displayed on the electronic map. Examples of such storage devices are as described above.

Fourth, you can mix network connections with your own storage. For example, suppose you have a car telematics system using a satellite network. For the bandwidth efficiency of a network, basic geographic information is embedded in a storage device, such as a DVD of your system, with detailed information, updated geographic information, and ranking details. The information may be downloaded through the communication network at the time of user interaction or when there is an advantage in bandwidth.

Depending on the location providing the service of the electronic map

First, the electronic map service is provided at the place that provides services such as games (games used in this paragraph, etc. shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or emergency transactions through goods or services).

Secondly, a user or observer of a game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services) Electronic map service from homepage

Third, the ranking site provides an electronic map service. The ranking site exists in various forms such as items, regions, and comprehensive portals.

Fourth, display the electronic map on the personalized terminal device

Fifth, there may be an electronic map service where the user performs actions such as evaluation, selection, and voting for the application target of the ranking.

Display media

The display medium serving as an electronic map means is not limited to a PC and is classified by the type of display medium.

First, general-purpose computers with versatile computing and processing power, such as PCs, notebooks, work stations, mini computers, and super computers.

Second, PDAs, palm tops, e-book cellular phones, mobile phones, beepers, AirPosts, game machines (e.g., Sony Play Station, etc.) Electronic equipment, including Post PCs that can be connected to the network with its own processor and display capabilities, although not classified as a general purpose computer such as digital TVs and automotive telematics systems.

Third, the black and white / color signboard is linked to the network to extract the information provided by the ranking site to display (display) or broadcast (broadcasting).

Fourth, non-computer displays, such as paper books, catalogs, newspapers, flea newspapers, shopping malls, etc., which are unable to interact with the user in real time, are electronics that map the result of the ranking of a particular item to a paper in a specific time period. Mark a scene on the map. For example, a map of the entire Gwanak-gu output in a form including a ranking of each dong for the information of a restaurant ranking updated monthly is displayed on a flea newspaper.

Ranking display and commerce process using offline media

For an example of commerce using a living place such as a flea newspaper,

First, personal information about a local-based commerce company that is a participant in the ranking is entered. (271)

Second, the participants' categories and items are created or belong. (272)

Third, the evaluator's evaluation information is input (273).

Fourth, a ranking ranking reflecting the category is generated by processing the input evaluation result, which is displayed on the electronic map of the homepage managed by the ranking management system.

Fifth, ranking information on an electronic map suitable for daily, weekly and monthly flea newspapers is selected and transmitted to the flea newspapers (275).

Sixth, ranking information consisting of an electronic map or simple text is displayed on the content of a flea newspaper, and a method of contacting and dealing with a commerce establishment is written together (276).

Seventh, the user selects the desired commerce store (277).

Application to commerce using ARS system

The ranking objects that can be ranked are not necessarily displayed on a visual display such as an electronic map, and the detailed ranking information for each category of the multi ranking displayed on the electronic map is a data format conversion technology such as TTS (Text to Speech). Through the air over the air, such as radio, mobile phones or wired telephones can be delivered to the user who wants the ranking information in a non-visual way, such as ARS, voicemail.

As an embodiment thereof, for an application to commerce using ARS,

First, personal information about a local-based commerce company that is a participant in the ranking is entered. (261)

Second, participants' categories and items are created or belong. (262)

Third, evaluation information of the evaluator is input (263).

Fourth, a ranking ranking reflecting the category is generated by processing the input evaluation result, which is displayed on the electronic map of the homepage managed by the ranking management system (266).

The input of the above information and the processing of the information include not only the telephone as the interaction means but also utilizing the already made information. That is, it includes using a telephone or an ARS system as a means of accessing the ranking information DB that has already been established.

Fifth, a user of a commerce calls and connects to an ARS system managed by a ranking management system. (267)

Sixth, the user selects an option such as a region, an item, or inputs what he / she needs by using a voice or a button.

Seventh, after the user's selection or input. The input is analyzed to extract the response to be sent to the information requester from the ranking information, and then the format is converted to suit the purpose of the ARS system.

Eighth, it is communicated to the user from the automatic guidance of the ARS system (269).

Ranking display and application using other display media

The multiple ranking information is managed by the ranking management system, but is not displayed only on the ranking display dedicated medium or dedicated site. The useful ranking information extracted by the entire system may be provided as content to the media such as newspapers, broadcasts, and magazines targeting multiple audiences. For example, a ranking ranking for a game like StarCraft can be a news channel for a game-specific channel or game site, or it can flow with different kinds of content, occupying a certain area of a specific homepage, which focuses the attention of the three. It can play the role of useful content.

An example of a case in which the ranking information is used as content such as a television, an Internet broadcast, etc. will be given.

The process of using the ranking information of the game that attracts the attention of the three,

First, the participants of the game enter the necessary information or personal information. Input of necessary information or personal information is input directly to the ranking management system or input to the game content providing system is transmitted to the ranking management system.

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously generated categories.

Third, the game participant accesses the game content providing server to play against the other participant and performs the game, and a result (win or lose, score) is generated (313).

Fourth, the game result is sent to the ranking management system.

Fifth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the transmitted game result (315).

Sixth, on the radio, ranking information for various categories such as overall ranking, regional ranking, age, occupation, etc. is broadcasted by the announcer along with news related to the game, detailed description of the ranking, and profiles of the participants in the top ranking. 316)

An embodiment of a case in which the ranking information is used as the content as the content displayed on the electronic board is described.

* When ranking information about the game is displayed on the screen

First, the participants of the game enter the necessary information or personal information. Input of necessary information or personal information is input directly to the ranking management system or input to the game content providing system is transmitted to the ranking management system (401).

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously created categories.

Third, the game participant connects to the game content providing server to play against the other participant, performs the game, and generates a result (success or loss). (403)

Fourth, the game result is sent to the ranking management system. (404)

Fifth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the game result handed down (315).

Sixth, on the radio, ranking information for various categories such as overall ranking, regional ranking, age, occupation, etc. is broadcasted by the announcer along with news related to the game, detailed description of the ranking, and profiles of the participants in the top ranking. 316)

An embodiment of a case in which the ranking information is used as the content as the content displayed on the electronic board is described.

When ranking information about the game is displayed on the screen

First, the participants of the game enter the necessary information or personal information. Input of necessary information or personal information is input directly to the ranking management system or input to the game content providing system is transmitted to the ranking management system (401).

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously created categories.

Third, the game participant connects to the game content providing server to play with the other participant and performs the game, and a result (winning or losing) is generated (403).

Fourth, the game result is sent to the ranking management system. (404)

Fifth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the transmitted game result (405).

Sixth, the contents of broadcasting rankings on various scoreboards such as overall ranking, regional rankings, age, occupation, etc., along with news related to the game, detailed description of rankings, and profiles of participants in the top rankings, were broadcasted. Or an electronic signboard connected to the network displays the content of the Internet site (406).

Suppose you also have a local portal site or a food site. As a space of a banner or as part of a main navigation menu, ranking information about a specific restaurant type in a region may be displayed. As such, the ranking information is content provided by a manager of a ranking management system at a predetermined price for each site's manager. Becomes

In addition, an example of a medium on which ranking information is displayed is a screen saver. A screensaver-type electronic map of useful ranking information such as commerce is made and distributed to the public. This screensaver contains electronic maps of various types of commerce rankings, and appears when computer users take a break or stop typing on the computer to visually deliver electronic maps of rankings for various applications. The user can select an option for what rankings appear, and when the network is connected, the screensaver program will update the latest ranking information. In addition, by assigning a function of accessing the ranking homepage or the management space to a button of a specific keyboard or mouse, the user can obtain detailed information about the ranking information of interest when it appears in the screensaver.

Display on participant's electronic map

The display on the electronic map for each participant is as follows.

In general, GIS uses the concept of layers. A geographic information system is a single geographic information chunk that contains geographic information in multiple, multiple, and category categories. Using the concept of a layer, a geospatial information system can extract and display only the information desired by an information receiver. For example, if the key word in the geographic information system is a fire road, a well-structured geographic information system may use only a fire road on a basic electronic map, or around an area that the information consumer wants to see in its geographic information database. It can be displayed to the information consumer with associated information including fire roads.

One participant will participate in various games, etc. (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services) in the network. It belongs to a fixed and optional category. The items and categories of each of these games, etc. form a participant's layer.

In other words, the information on the user's network, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). If the user selects the quiz program A as a category and the high school he or she attends as a category, the high school B attended by the participant is displayed on the electronic map in A, and the ranking of the participant is displayed in a specific manner. . In addition, the participant may be provided with basic information about the owner of the ranking that is related to his ranking in a specific category, each of which is linked. In addition, the information about the ranking of the school on the electronic map or the ranking of the A program of the C apartment complex in which he resides may be extended and linked with the user's information request input.

When the target category selected by the participant is expanded or contracted, a method of expressing the participant's rank on the electronic map will be described with reference to FIG. 12.

First, when the category expands or contracts on a local basis, using surroundings: In the numerical example above, the participant specifies a game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). If Sinrim 9dong (34) is selected, an electronic map of Sinrim 9 is shown, and the area divided by Sinrim 9 and other dongs by the division system provided by the management system appears. Sillim-dong shows an area forming a surrounding (33) (surrounding).

The sorting device distinguishes each area, and it is displayed on the participant's output device by using a shape (color, shape (drawing, color classification, color blur), shape). May be given by the participant or may be chosen by the participant.

If the participant expands the destination category again, and the Sillim-dong 36 is the entirety of Gwanak-gu drawing, and the category of Gwanak-gu whole 38 is selected, the map of the entire Seoul 37 is displayed, and as previously mentioned. Information about your ranking is displayed. The expansion is accomplished by realizing a promised interaction method, such as clicking around with a pointing device.

If the participant becomes the first place in the whole Sillim-dong and the 12th place in the whole Gwanak-gu over time (reference time: December 12, 2000), the ranking of the first place in the nine-dong Sinrim is meaningless. The same process as described above occurs for the entire Sillim-dong, the largest unit. If a participant selects a category across Seoul, his or her ranking in Gwanak-gu, and his ranking in Sillim-dong will be displayed on the entire Seoul map.

On the electronic map, the user can select multiple destination categories in addition to selecting a specific destination category and selecting a surrounding to expand or contract the area. As shown in FIG. 12, a simple reduction, In addition to expanding, as shown in Fig. 21, the surroundings are selected to expand the categories, and among the various categories belonging to the upper category, the multiple categories of participants or observers are interested in are selected, and the rankings for these multiple areas are displayed. . If you can select on a row such as clicking a specific subcategory when the area is reduced, multiple categories can be pressed by pressing the Shift key and selecting several areas with the mouse, according to a predetermined convention.

As described above, the participants or observers can select various predetermined categories displayed on the electronic map by using a predetermined protocol of interaction.The participants are not satisfied with the categories predetermined by the creator or manager of the ranking system. If you wish to form this desired category, you can assign such a method to participants to form their own custom category.

First, in case of category of administrative district. This may not exactly match the range of categories desired by participants or users, such as games or commerce. In this case, select any point that the participant wants on the scaled electronic map with the same scale ratio as the real area. For the shape of centrifugal, square, triangular, annular, etc. centering on the point, the radius, width, length, etc. to define the size should be determined. The area on the electronic map represented by this figure is used as a target category of interest to the participant. As shown in FIG. 22, the destination category 1 (222) may be formed to indicate an area within a 10 km radius of the Seoul station, and the destination category 2 (223) may be formed on a map connecting the University of Seoul University-Sillim Station-Seoul University. Can be. As shown in the destination category 2 (223), the participant can form a new category of the area he draws on the map instead of a predetermined category such as an administrative area.

In the case of highly virtual categories, participants can form groups to create their own categories, and group the objects of interest to form informal categories.

This category created by the participant is stored in the ranking management system so that the participant can continually observe the ranking for this category.

If the application of the ranking is the same as the test results, there is a risk of invading the privacy of the individual when exposed to others. In order to prevent this, in the case of a user-defined category, the administrator of the ranking system may not allow this depending on the application target. In addition, even if a user-defined category can be created, a participant may own a choice if a participant does not want to belong to a user-defined category.

In addition, the display method in the case where the participant does not rank first in any minimum one category is essentially the same as above. That is, since the display method in the case where the first place in the minimum area is not the same as the case in which the first place in the whole Gwanak phrase is not the same as in the above example, the minimum area may be displayed in a manner that corresponds to the whole Gwanak phrase. That is, in Sillim 9 dong, their ranking and the like are displayed together with the person who has priority over their ranking, or their ranking is shown using a shape that matches the ranking.

Viewing the ranking on the electronic map is possible not only for the participants but also for the observer. In the case of participants, the ranks of those who are higher in each category and their ranks are displayed. In the case of observers, only those who are higher in each category can be displayed, or a participant of special interest can be displayed. At this time, a person who does not reach the predetermined high ranking in each category is the default option to set his own ranking can not be observed by others. The authority to change this option is limited to those who are in the lower rankings, managers of the ranking management system, and managers of each category.The managers of each category are the managers of the categories recognized by the manager of the official category and the manager of the ranking management system. For example, if there is a category of government organizations, the head of each organization has the right to view the ranking of all members of the organization category.

When selecting the vertical or horizontal category by selecting the surrounding or destination category on the electronic map and expanding the area (Zoom-in, Zoom-out), the category information and the ranking information DB of the corresponding application targets are linked. I would like to discuss. First, the DB information on the category to which each participant belongs is present in the ranking management system. Each category has a one-to-one correspondence with the category of the geographic information DB displayed as a closed area visually drawn on the electronic map. When a user selects such a category by clicking or interacting, the ranking management system loads a previously created and stored ranking DB for each category, or sorts the results of each participant when the category is selected, and then ranks the ranking DB. It generates and retrieves the generated ranking information and displays it on the electronic map.

As defined above, the destination category and surrounding categories are also used as a way of navigating the ranking user. The user can directly navigate by pointing to an area on the map corresponding to the desired category, or the user can zoom in to expand or contract a category, It is possible to move to the desired area by using the Zoom Up and Zoom In buttons or by directly inputting the percentage of contraction extension in the case of low virtual category.

In order to create a ranking for a user-created category, the following steps are required.

First, a custom category is created.

Second, since the participant in the ranking application must occupy a certain point on the electronic map (including the conceptual map), first, a list of participants belonging to the newly created category is created.

Third, rank information is generated when the sorted list is processed through scoring.

Fourth, such ranking information is displayed on the electronic map.

Fifth, if a newly created category is to be saved, the list of participants and their grades, rankings, etc. are stored in a separate DB. If there is a change in the participant's score, the DB is updated to reflect this.

The ranking information is shown as the target category of the displayed electronic map. Conceptual methods for implementing the ranking information are as follows.

First, the ranking information processed as text separately from the graphic part on the electronic map is arranged and displayed on the screen like the electronic map. In other words, it refers to a particular location above, below, left, right, and above a region of interest of the electronic map, and is displayed in text form. The components constituting the text, ie, font, size, color, business card, and font processing . Alternatively, it can be displayed as a separate image from the electronic map, such as launching a browser that is completely separate from the electronic map, or processing frames differently within the same browser, and overlaying the visual occupancy area of the target category of the electronic map. You can see the effect as if it were on an electronic map.

Second, ranking information shall be processed in the form of a DB in the form of a game (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). The information is stored in the geographical information DB server 117 which forms a single layer and stores the electronic map by overlaying or synthesizing it graphically on the destination category on the electronic map. The stored ranking information graphic is displayed and displayed instead when the user selects the target category of the electronic map by an interaction such as a click.

Third, the ranking information is not processed as text, but as icons, symbols, etc., which symbolize the participants of the rankings, which are ranked in the ranking.

The above processing is the same as HTTP or CGI which sends information from the client to the server in the client / server environment and implements all processing on the server, and the application sent from the server is stored and operated in the client's web browser. It can be divided into client-based methods such as Active X and Java applets that are processed on a web browser.

Display system for participant space

Results of the performance of the participant's game provided by the management system for each participant (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). You can design a labeling system for. The management system manages each participant's management space such as the homepage, site, e-mail address, and other online or offline spaces (such as personal computer's HDD, mobile phone memory, etc.) that manages their results. The term 'homepage' refers to the display space for these online and offline individuals. Essentially, this homepage includes categories such as games, electronic maps and diagrams that show your rankings. Optionally, you can use cyber marks (meditations, marks, symbols, pictograms, emblems, Citations, etc., are collectively referred to as 'marks'). Provide a game record or game history that records the date, opponents, results, victory points, and other game-related details of the game. In addition, the management system does not provide a homepage to an individual, but a link to a data base such as a DB and an electronic map of a management system may be attached to a homepage managed by an individual, or a desired data may be copied and pasted.

When the ranking is displayed on the electronic map of the homepage or the site of the management system, the ranking display section is a protocol for the promised interaction with the user on the electronic map. For example, when a right mouse button is clicked, various menus pop up. One level expansion / collapse of a category, a move to a previous category, and detailed information about the displayed ranker or participant can be displayed. The concept of hyperlinks also allows you to respond appropriately to user needs.

When displaying the ranking results on the electronic map, not only a few ranking lists are listed but also various visual decorations. The purpose of such decoration is in line with the basic purpose of the ranking process obtained by providing multiple rankings. Participants can design a virtual space where their rankings correspond to their electronic maps if they have their rankings in a particular category. If your ranking is number one, one or a combination of colors, symbols, shapes, patterns, pictures, symbols, shapes, marks, texts, images, sounds, etc. that you want on an electronic map showing the category in which you rank first. It can be displayed or decorated in a manner. The elements required for these decorations can be provided by the management system, and the participants themselves can create virtual spaces on the electronic map with their own rankings, or with elements that are compatible with the elements provided by the management system. You can design or decorate.

The top ranking among the vast majority of online games such as StarCraft is very small, and if you break it down into regional or organizational rankings, you'll see a lot of top rankers like those who are the best at StarCraft in Sillim-dong. In addition to the direct pleasure gained from the game, you gain benefits such as checking presence, showing off, and immersion in the game. To maximize this, you can decorate the results of rankings on electronic maps or cyberspace. can do. It also promotes competition by limiting the authority of these decorations according to their ranks.

The method of such decoration is as follows.

Providing the contents of the homepage or game managed by the ranking management system (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). When a participant such as a system or a game shows an electronic map on its own homepage, the No. 1 ranker is selected as the ruler of the category and indicates that the area is the control area of the No. 1 ranker. It promotes self-gratification and satisfies the desire to show off by letting the digital photo of the ruler or the ruler attach the desired symbol. In the simplest case, when the rank is high, the area is displayed in bright and colorful colors, and when the rank is below a certain level, it is expressed in the dark.

In the case of decorations on the electronic map appearing on their homepage, the decorations should be discriminated according to the rank. For example, the first rank can be embellished with any item of the desired type, while the second rank allows to select only the items that are discriminated according to the rank. Make sure you pay the price for the items that are colorful and attract the public's attention.

These decorations can appear unconditionally on the electronic map, or give the top rankingers the right to choose the option to display the decorations and display only the basic electronic maps to those who are in the lower rankings.

Issue a ranking certificate system or a cyber certificate that is certified and issued by its operator, or a decoration that displays its mark, such as a game (such as a game used in this paragraph). Participate in any action, activity, performance, etc.). That is, a certificate can be attached to the position or representation in the cyber space where the participant such as the participant's homepage or digital business card is displayed and displayed. For example, StarCraft Seoul's No. 1 digital business card can be marked with a label or pattern uniquely designed by the ranking management system, such as "StarCraft Seoul No. 1 Hong Gil-dong," and in the case of a restaurant ranking, the restaurant 'OOOOO's Selected Loan Customer Satisfaction' These trademarks and emblems are the creation of the ranking manager and have exclusive rights to design, use, distribution and transfer rights, and are granted and loaned only to those whose ranking management system recognizes. At this time, when another user clicks and interacts with such a display, a homepage managed by the ranking management system appears, and it can stimulate the curiosity of other users and promote participation of the general user. That is, when evaluation information of the general user is required, such as commerce, the ranking information acquisition system plays a role of easily operating.

The concept of decoration is further expanded to include games, etc. (the games used in this paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). When a participant's cyber alter character, ie, an avatar is created and is active in cyberspace, clothes, tools, or items to decorate the character may be differentiated according to the ranking of the ranking.

If the participant has selected any category, then each of them in a particular game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic or commercial transactions via goods or services). If this unit was selected for the first time, each management system displays this unit on a map or as a diagram in the above manner.

If the participant's category selection was previously selected, the rankings already formed in this category are displayed by category.

Individual or compound representation of multiple activities

Participants may participate in games on multiple networks, etc. (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). That is, suppose that a game is played on several networks, such as a, b, c, d, and e. If there is data on them, the ranking of the player is determined according to the specification of the participant's game, etc. Mark on the map. For example, the information or ranking for the quiz match b is managed independently of the information or ranking for game a. And rankings for these various types of games can be managed in conjunction.

Matching process

A match with an opponent is essentially a matching process for selecting an opponent.

If a game or the like is executed in the same category and the ranking is changed as a result of the execution, the changed map or information is displayed on the electronic map to update the electronic map. By using the concept of object category and surroundings, you can basically choose a matching opponent as an opponent who is not far off centered on the category that belongs to the top ranking. By allowing you to choose your opponents, you can increase interest and tension in games.

In other words, if the opponent you want to play is currently connected to the network, you can apply for a game by e-mail, etc. If you are not connected to the network, you can specify a category and apply for a match later. .

The battles played on the network can be divided into two categories. One is based on how 1: 1 or group-to-group interactions are done in real time, like StarCraft, which is defined as direct interaction, which most TV quiz programs take. do. On the other hand, two or more groups, over time, may play games or the like on the same or similar objects (such as games used in this paragraph, such as any action on electronic or non-commercial transactions via goods or services, And the ranking of the results by comparing and comparing the results. This is defined as an indirect interaction method. An example of the latter is that different questions may be asked to take a math test online, to score and rank the results, and to have a question bank or question pool, such as TOEIC or TOEFL, at the same time or at different times. There may be a solution to the problem, and the results may be reflected in the scores and then ranked in each category.

In direct interactive games, winning and losing are determined by two things: One is the champion with the target ranking in a challenger and championship mode, the one who challenges the ranking is the challenger, and reflects the result of their direct match, There is a way to combine the cases and the results of more than one match. The other is to determine the ranking based on the result of the total match in the category irrespective of the opponent and the method of determining the ranking by combining the result of the match in the other category with the previous one.

In an indirect interactive game, winning or losing is a game that can be recognized as identical or identical (such as the game used in this paragraph, any action, activity, or performance in electronic or non-commercial transactions via goods or services). Or the management system evaluates the performance of the task and ranks the evaluation based on the evaluation.

Operation and Action

When the ranking is displayed on a display medium such as an electronic map, the user operates the ranking display system through interaction with the display medium such that the ranking is displayed in a desired manner. The main purpose of this interaction is to make it easier and more efficient for participants to select the category they belong to.

The necessary information or personal information such as address, affiliation, age, gender, etc. previously entered about the users of the ranking management system, such as the players of the game or the users of the commerce company, is the basic data to efficiently display the ranking on the electronic map. Can be used.

Let's say it's a game like StarCraft. The ranking system manager processes the vertical and horizontal hierarchies of the participants and the ranking information in the hierarchies to satisfy the participants' desire for achievement, or analyze the usage habits that have passed, and rank the most frequently used categories. The location on the electronic map that appears can be selected as the default starting line. The method of determining the starting position of the ranking may be applied in a manner similar to displaying the ranking for the desired commerce by analyzing the IP address of the computer that the user accesses for the user who requires the ranking for the commerce.

The user clicks the mouse on the electronic map. Double click. button. Multiple inputs such as menu bar selection, navigation through peripheral input devices such as joysticks and keypads, keyboard input methods using touch screens and shortcut keys, and input methods that project the senses of the five senses in reality in the case of virtual space using VR. The method can interact with the electronic map. Through this interaction, you can see the ranking of each category on the electronic map. That is, when a certain point on the electronic map is clicked or the like, one or more categories to which the specific point belongs are displayed, and the ranking or the like in the category is displayed. At this time, the participant shall specify the type and category of the game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services).

If you place a pointer device (such as a pointing device, a mouse, a joystick, coordinate input, a voice, a pupil, or any means for specifying a position such as touching in the case of a touch screen) in a category of your choice on the electronic map, Results of your ranking, achievements, games, etc. targeting the categories (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). The results of statistical processing of data or ranking of others in the category may be automatically displayed on the electronic map. This is done as follows. First, in a particular mode (eg, viewing results, etc.) a location on the electronic map corresponding to the pointing device of the participant is determined. Second, retrieve the data DB corresponding to the location on the electronic map. The data DB stores all data processing results such as rankings as a DB and has a management system (this management system may be the same subject as a content provider such as a game), and a participant's computer is connected to the management system through a network. The system then passes the location on the electronic map to the management system, which extracts the data corresponding to the location. Third, the extracted data is transferred to the participant's computer and the result is displayed to the participant. The management system receives performance result data such as games, calculates and transmits various statistical values such as rankings, wins, wins, overall scores, scores or points, and sends them to participants. Because it is a ranking, you can calculate and send other people's information.

Search

In the case of application targets of various types, such as in the case of rankings for commerce, directory-type services are possible to provide complex information. In other words, the directory type service is used to express the service hierarchy in the tree structure such as living culture → restaurant → Korean restaurant → ribs house. Following this directory structure leads to the desired ranking application.

It is possible to use an internal search engine in the ranking display system to supplement the visual limitations of the directory structure and to search efficiently. If you put the keyword "Chinese house" in the search box, you can go directly to the category "Chinese house" to display the map of the geographical area to which the user belongs and display the ranking of each region. By intelligentizing these search engines, you can use sentence-type natural language search engines. "Which Chinese restaurant has the best customer service and the best Chinese restaurant in Jajangmyeon?" The search engine can search and federate several databases of the ranking management system and visually express them on the electronic map.

You can think of ways to automate and streamline the search process as much as possible. First, based on the user's personal information or location on the network where the connected network is located, that is, the location information based on the IP address of the computer, the location of the corresponding base station on the wireless network, or the location information based on the Global Positioning System (GPS). It starts local categories and suggests a list of favorite categories when the user connects through analysis of the user's activity log. A detailed description of this process is provided under the heading 'Regional Commerce'.

Reward system for providing evaluation information

In order to quickly and accurately accumulate and update ranking information, a reward system for ranking information providers can be considered. This paper describes the types of evaluation information provision reward systems that can be linked to the ranking information acquisition system. Depending on the type of compensation provided, they are classified as follows:

First, there is a simple way of reducing the cost of use on the fly in exchange for the user using the object and providing evaluation information. This model is applicable when a user connects to a ranking information acquisition system with a terminal device that an individual carries, such as a mobile phone, or connects to a terminal device such as a computer that the evaluation target uses.

Second, if the spatial location for inputting the evaluation information and the location using the evaluation object are different, and thus the expenses cannot be reduced immediately, a discount coupon can be issued. These discount coupons are digitalized and issued electronically through the network. The discount coupons issued to the evaluator can be printed on paper or stored in a terminal device that the evaluator can carry so that the ranking application system can recognize them. Alternatively, the evaluator's identity authentication and compensation management system 119 (119 ') may issue a discount coupon directly to the ranking application system and hand over identification information on the owner of the coupon to allow the user to confirm. For example, in exchange for providing evaluation information to a mobile phone terminal, a discount coupon number can be transmitted via SMS or wireless Internet and shown to the counterpart of the transaction. Alternatively, after the discount coupon is used for a transaction, if the unique number of the discount coupon is transmitted to the valuation information compensation system by the commerce provider, the reward system will reward the transaction user later.

Third, in order to operate a more sophisticated and comprehensive compensation system, a terminal device that can register and authenticate the user, and the user authentication and compensation management system that can access the user DB will be credited for providing the accumulated ranking information. It is to give cyber points (any point system that can be accumulated electronically online such as cyber money, electronic money). Accumulated cyber points depend on the number of evaluations and the integrity of the evaluations. The terminal device used in this case is the same concept as the terminal device used in the ranking information acquisition system, and may be physically identical or may be operated separately. If the accumulated cyber points are accumulated above a predetermined threshold value, the transaction price can be used as cash at the time of payment after using the transaction target, and the accumulated cyber points can be used only when using the application target where the evaluation data is input. Alternatively, the concept of a merchant may be introduced so that it can be used for any pre-promised and collected transaction target.

In addition, it is classified as follows according to the direct provider of the reward provided.

First, the manager of the ranking management system pays the provider of the evaluation information. The source of the payment comes from the resources that the ranking management system creates on its own, or from individuals, groups, organizations, and businesses that are subject to evaluation information. Or, it comes from the user of the ranking information. In this case, the ranking information published and published on the electronic map is very valuable information, so that the user using the ranking information pays for the information.

Second, when the user who inputs the evaluation information sees the ranking on the electronic map created based on the evaluation information that is input, and when the commerce is used, the corresponding business of the commerce is compensated. It is calculated at the time of payment after the transaction, or collected and subsequently paid.

Achievement management system

Ranking of Participants in Games, etc. (Games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Content providers of virtual spaces, homepages, games, etc. (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Participants can access and obtain a virtual space or homepage provided by the participant or a virtual space or a homepage operated by the participant. In particular, if the ranking management system continuously sends the ranking information to the homepage or virtual space operated by the participant, and this is managed by various application objects and time, it can be used as the participant's achievement management system.

In particular, as described above in the data processing process, the effectiveness of the achievement management system is doubled when it becomes possible to process not only simple ranking information but also various information by analyzing game results. For example, in a strategy simulation game, by granularity such as opponent win rankings, mission completion ranks by game (territory expansion ranks, mission completion time ranks, unit creation ranks, resource picking ranks, opponent race killing ranks, etc.) If the ranking comes out, it can be used as a means to identify the characteristics of each game participant and improve strategy and tactics.

In addition, by applying the ranking concept to application targets such as mock exams and quizzes that measure the learning level other than the game, the ranking information for each subject such as weekly, monthly, and yearly is not only a comprehensive ranking management site. Let's say that. The learner can visually grasp this chronological ranking information from the electronic map provided on the homepage where the information that is tested each time is linked through his or her own virtual space or e-mail. It can be used as a learner's achievement management or goal management system, which can be given hierarchical decorations to promote motivation. If the ranking increases automatically by linking the changing rankings with the character, the appearance of the character or cyber pet will grow or grow. The splendor of the outer garment can be added, and if the rank is automatically linked with the structure, the process of the structure proceeds and if the rank falls, the process retreats.

Management of these achievements may be handled over time. It can be expressed as how the improvement of the rank according to the improvement of the achievement is reflected in the change of the dominant domain. For example, suppose you have a crossword puzzle with a daily game event. One participant participates in the event every day, plays the game and is ranked on that day. Once these ranks are stacked, they can be grouped into categories and visualized graphically. Ranking trends, such as bar graphs and line graphs, show the results of game participation at a glance.

Application configuration

In the previous basic configuration, we showed that the creation and use of rankings applies to games or commerce. Subsequently, specific composite application examples are classified on the basis of large-scale attributes, and specific embodiments of the present invention are shown within the detailed classification, and the equivalent, equivalent, and equivalent scopes of the embodiments are expanded.

This specification introduces what are called definitions of terminology, a major reason for this introduction being due to language technical limitations due to the flatness of description through language. This will be described first. It is said that there is an invention where the component consists of A (computer) + B + C, and the component is A = {a1, a2 a3, a4}, B = {b1, b2, b3}, C = {c1, c2, c3 , c4, c5}, the possible combinations of inventions taking into account the specific components would be A product set B product set C, and the total number of combinations would be 4 * 3 * 5, or 60, each of which is in language To describe is theoretically possible and has no real meaning. In particular, this is conceptually the same as allowing the Markush claim method in chemical invention. For example, when A is the computer of the present invention, the present invention refers to a PC. Notebook, palm top, e-book, work station, mini computer, super computer, cellular phone, mobile phone, pager Any machine that has a beeper, a game machine (such as SONY's Play Station 2), a digital TV, or a central processing unit (CPU), and has the ability to connect to a network, whether wired or wireless. It is foolish to describe the combination with B and C as specific examples using each of them as a component of A. Therefore, the general term "computer", not "PC", is introduced, the attribute of this general term is given, and the objects satisfying this attribute are exemplified in the definition of terms, and so on. It is reasonable to describe it as: Therefore, when referring to a computer in the present invention, it includes or represents all or a plurality of specific examples appearing in the definition of the computer or the term computer. The same applies to the definitions and explanations of other components, terms, and concepts. Hereinafter, specific examples of the present invention will be described based on these criteria. That is, the specific embodiment is to be a compressed description.

First, a competitive online game

A competitive on-line game is a one-to-one or many-to-many game played on a network where scores can be calculated by first achieving a given mission against the opponents of the match or by completing the achievement as a result of the confrontation. Means a competitive online game.

The overall flow in which the participant of the competitive online game selects the target category and the ranking thereof is displayed on the electronic map is as follows.

The test scores that result from the participant participating in the test and the result of the test are shown in the display on the participant's computer. Each of these components is connected by a network, and various connection lines of FIG. 7 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

Fifth, evaluation of people and organizations

It is not the result of one or two acts, but it can quantify the public's interest and consciousness about the activities and persistence of people and groups. In particular, evaluations of individuals in occupations of interest to the public can be made. Second, various organizations such as civic organizations, executive branches, government offices, corporations, municipalities, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, public interest corporations, corporations, foundation corporations An evaluation of people who have a special interest in the public or of that kind of organization. Such evaluations can be ranked by the categories of people and organizations to be evaluated, and can be displayed on electronic maps by region and organization.

In the ranking system of person and group evaluation, the evaluation is made and it is disclosed to the media such as electronic map as follows. Here, the people and organizations that are the targets of the ranking are called participants, and the evaluators are those who perform evaluations or give opinions to the participants.

First, participants in the ranking enter their personal information. Or, the manager of the ranking information acquisition system collects this personal information. (081)

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the already created categories.

Third, the evaluator performs evaluation on the participant and the result is input to the ranking information acquisition system (095). Such evaluation may be performed online or in a ranking information acquisition system (095) existing separately from the ranking management system or in a ranking information acquisition system (095 ') within the ranking management system, or in place of the operation of such a ranking information acquisition system. Is performed by a delegate.

Fourthly, the evaluation result is transmitted to the ranking management system.

The hardware configuration for configuring such an entire flow is as follows, as shown in FIG.

The ranking management system (091) of person and group evaluation is basically comprised by the main server (092) and the ranking DB server (093). The ranking DB server stores various databases such as various category result DB, evaluation result, and detailed ranking DB for each category based on the personal information of each participant, and the main server integrates and manages the participants and various DB servers. It is a server that is the backbone that handles data processing. Optionally, it includes a homepage or personal space (094) (094 ') for each participant or evaluator, and if you want a complex electronic map, a geospatial DB server (097) is implemented separately, which can be imported from outside (097'). have. In addition, the evaluator may input the evaluation information through a ranking information acquisition system provided in the internal management system (095 ') or the external management system (095') or an external agent (095) to perform the evaluation result collection operation. Finally, the evaluation results are displayed on the computer's display of participants 096 (096 ') or evaluators 098 (098'). Each of these components is connected by a network, and the various connection lines of FIG. 9 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

In providing ranking information about such persons and groups of people, the advantage of providing them at the regional level, in particular, is that when the direct action of an expert in a certain field is required, the information is transmitted electronically and the expert moves to the logistics and so on. The overall cost is relatively small. For example, for builders looking for outstanding plasterers, the expert ranking system provides ranking information of outstanding plasterers in each region so that the optimal selection can be made in consideration of transportation costs according to regional movements.

Representative examples of collective evaluations include public institutions and civic interest groups (NGOs). After using the offices, ward offices, and various civil service counters, the user conducts an evaluation of the services of the relevant organization and passes the evaluation information to the ranking information system. The evaluation can be classified into multiple levels according to the nature and complexity of the job, and a multi-question evaluation list can be provided, a type of A, B, C, D, or a direct score entry. . The evaluation scores assigned by the user to these evaluation items and the rankings of the institutions determined according to them are shown in the various categories provided on the electronic map, and are known to the general public to be used as an opportunity to improve public service of each public institution. do.

For example, the customer service of various offices in Gwanak-gu is based on the evaluation of users who use these services. Will be displayed as

Indeed, a person or group that is the subject of a ranking may not want to actively participate in being publicly assessed and ranked and displayed on the electronic map. In this case, there is a difference at the beginning of the basic configuration of the ranking system.

First, evaluators (persons who are evaluating an assessment, a group of such persons, or a system created and owned by them) select people to evaluate and classify them into various categories. (321)

Second, the evaluator evaluates directly or receives evaluation from the general public (322).

Third, the evaluation result is transmitted to the ranking management system (324).

Fourth, a ranking ranking reflecting the category is generated by processing the input evaluation result (325).

Fifth, an evaluator or a user of ranking information selects a destination category from a medium such as an electronic map.

Sixth, the ranking DB for the selected category is transmitted to be displayed on the electronic map (327).

Seventh, the evaluator or the user of the ranking information confirms the ranking for each category desired on the electronic map (328).

Sixth, Guinness Book

Spontaneously. The current state of the anthropogenic results is a relative comparable one, particularly the Guinness Book of Regions, which is a smaller category than the state, especially in the record of weird ones that can attract the public's attention. For example, the highest blood donation king in Sillim-dong, the tallest person in Gwanak-gu, and the highest building ranking in Gangnam.

The basic flow of the ranking for this is as shown in FIG.

First, a participant who has a record worth climbing to the Guinness Book of Record enters his personal information. Or, the manager of the ranking information acquisition system or a representative of the agent collects this necessary information or personal information. (151)

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously created categories.

Third, a participant makes a record worth ranking in the Guinness Book of Records and enters it into the ranking information acquisition system 165. At this time, such a record should be observed by an evaluator who evaluates and verifies it. The observed record is prepared online and the ranking information acquisition system 165 existing separately from the ranking management system or the acquisition of ranking information existing inside the ranking management system. Performed by system 165 'or by a delegate in lieu of the operation of such a ranking information acquisition system.

Fourth, the recording result is transmitted to the ranking management system. (154)

Fifth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the input evaluation result (155).

Sixth, the participant or evaluator selects a destination category from a medium such as an electronic map.

Seventh, the ranking DB for the selected category is transmitted to be displayed on the electronic map (157).

Eighth, the participant or evaluator checks the ranking of the desired category on the electronic map (158).

The hardware configuration for configuring such an overall flow is as follows, as shown in FIG.

The ranking management system 161 of the Guinness Book is basically composed of a main server 162 and a ranking DB server 163. The ranking DB server stores various databases such as various category result DBs, evaluation results, and detailed ranking DBs for each category based on the personal information of each participant, and the main server integrates and manages the participants and various DB servers. It is a server that is the backbone that handles data processing. Optionally includes a homepage or personal space (164) (164 ') for each participant or evaluator, and if you want a complex electronic map, a geospatial database server (167) is implemented separately, which can be imported from outside (167'). have. In addition, the evaluator may input the evaluation information through the ranking information acquisition system provided in the inside 165 ′ or the outside 165 of the ranking management system, or the agent may perform the evaluation result collection operation. Finally, the results of the evaluation are displayed on the computer's display of the participants 166, 166 'or the evaluators 168, 168'. Each of these components is connected by a network, and various connection lines of FIG. 16 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

Seventh, regional-based commerce

Commerce is done through services or goods. The specific name of the service or product targeted by the present invention includes the goods classification table set by the Decree of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, as described in Article 10, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Act, and the services targeted for all goods or services listed in the service industry classification table. The products or services described in the present invention, including those that may be specified in other classification systems in Korea and abroad, and services as occupational acts listed in the job dictionary or classification system, may be products or services not described in this table. Included in the service.

If you have a physical location (i.e. exclude an online website. If a business has an offline store and an online website, the store is included and the website is excluded.) It refers to the offline commerce provider. According to the nature of the service or product handled can be classified as follows.

First, there are service-based commerce companies such as schools, academies, hospitals, pharmacies, PC rooms, game rooms, inns, and the like. If this is further conceptually subdivided, the service provider can be divided into services such as tutoring, tutoring, lecture, consulting, masseur, and paper, etc., and hospitals, sports centers, and barber shops, where the service user is strong.

Second, a commerce company that targets goods, products, or fluids that can be traded independently. For example, florists, bookstores, stationery stores, hardware stores, electronic stores, furniture stores, Japanese restaurants, Korean restaurants, Chinese restaurants, snack houses, bakeries. There are coffee shops, pubs, pubs and so on. In addition, as shown in the restaurant also includes a case in which the distinction between the product and the food to provide a good food to eat both.

The basic flow of the invention of the present invention targeting these things is as follows. Here, the participant refers to a commerce company that is the target of the ranking, and the evaluator refers to a person who uses the participant or an expert in the field, or enters the evaluation information after using and using the service or product of the company.

First, a local-based commerce company that is a participant in the ranking enters the necessary information or personal information. Or, the manager of the ranking information acquisition system collects such company information. (101) This process may be different from the later process in time. In other words, everything does not happen at the same time.

Second, based on the entered company information, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously created categories. (102)

Third, in the case of an anonymous evaluator system, the evaluator inputs his or her required information or personal information before evaluation and accesses the user identity authentication and compensation management system 119 to receive identity verification. The system may be implemented 119 inside the ranking management system or separately 119 ′ outside. (103)

* Fourth, the evaluator performs evaluation after using the participant and the result is input to the ranking information acquisition system 105. Such evaluation is prepared online and exists separately from the ranking information acquisition system 105 or the ranking management system. It is performed in the ranking information acquisition system 105 'existing within the management system, or by a delegate in place of the operation of the ranking information acquisition system.

Fifth, the evaluation result is transmitted to the ranking management system. (105)

Sixth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the input evaluation result.

Seventh, the participant or evaluator selects a destination category from a medium such as an electronic map.

Eighth, the ranking DB for the selected category is transmitted to be displayed on the electronic map.

Ninth, the participant or evaluator checks the ranking of the desired category on the electronic map (109).

Hardware configuration for local-based commerce is as shown in Figure 11, the ranking management system 111 is basically composed of the main server 112, ranking DB server 113. The ranking DB server stores various databases including category results DB, evaluation results, and detailed ranking DB for each category based on the personal information of each participant, and the main server integrates and manages the participants and various DB servers. It is a server that is the backbone that handles data processing. Optionally includes a homepage or personal space (114) (114 ') for each participant or evaluator, and if you want a complex electronic map, a geo-information DB server 117 is implemented separately, which may be imported from outside (117'). have. In addition, the evaluator may input the evaluation information through the ranking information acquisition system provided in the interior 115 ′ or the exterior 115 of the ranking management system, or the agent may perform the evaluation result collection operation. Finally, the results of the assessment are displayed on a display on the computer of the participants 116, 116 ′ or the evaluators 118, 118 ′. The user authentication and compensation processing system 119 linked to the ranking information acquisition system 115 and 115 ′ is in charge of the identity authentication and compensation system for the user or evaluator of the commerce that has entered the evaluation information. Each of these components is connected by a network, and various connection lines of FIG. 11 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

The ranking system for commerce shows the advertising effect that the information of the ranking is exposed to the user, and may benefit from this by inducing the user to commerce in the top business of the ranking, and the evaluation information for determining the ranking is also inputted by the user. In this case, it is possible to build reliability of ranking information, induce interest in ranking, and compensate for input of evaluation information under an integrated system. The interaction between each user at this time, a commerce company, and a ranking management system is as shown in FIG.

Each interaction in FIG. 25 is represented by an arrow. When explaining the action of each arrow,

First, a commerce user wants to obtain information by accessing a ranking management system. (255-1)

Second, ranking information displayed on the electronic map is transmitted to the user (255-2).

Third, the user selects a commerce business from the delivered ranking information, and makes a transaction with the commerce business (255-3).

Fourth, in the case of a transaction using the ranking system, a discount is granted in exchange for the cost of advertisement or the selection of a company through the ranking system (255-4). The amount and ratio of the discount is presented by a system that manages and provides the ranking. It can be provided, or it can be provided and presented by each commerce company individually.

Fifth, the evaluation information for the used business is input to the evaluation system. (255-5) This process may be performed simultaneously or at the same time as the fourth process, or may be performed after a considerable time. It is as follows and it is as above.

Sixth, the input evaluation information is transmitted to the ranking management system and the ranking DB is updated. (255-6)

Seventh, in return for inputting evaluation information, rewards are given to users who have entered them (255-7).

Ranking in this field can be operated in a variety of variations.

First, there is a commerce portal site. It builds a portal site that encompasses all region-based commerce. It is a site that provides regional ranking for each field by dividing the detailed categories by service by product and classifying them into a directory format. The directory format categorizes the individual contents in detail and classifies them into multiple stages such as major category, middle category, and small category. The first page shows the category for the top level, and when the user selects the desired category, the next level of the category is shown. In other words, all these steps are linked together. When list information about suppliers of various goods and services is displayed under a specific category, the list information is not simply listed as in the results of a normal search engine search, but the list information is linked to the ranking information. For example, you can provide a list of rankings in order of highest ranking. At this time, if this directory having the above characteristics is made only with the product, a DB having the hierarchy of the product may be made. If only the service is made, the DB having the hierarchy of the service may be made, and the person ( If only a group or a group is created, a DB with a hierarchy of people or groups can be created.

When ranking information is displayed in a list, the ranking information exists as a form of digital content (a form of existence of content shown to the user according to various display devices such as pictures, texts, and charts). Is a hyperlink that allows users to interact with the digital content, such as clicking, to gain access to the base material on which the ranking was created and information about the ranking decision process. In addition, there may be digital content indicating that the product or service and a press release such as the press or other evaluation information such as another person exist near or around the ranking information. The digital contents are hyperlinked, and when users interact with the digital contents by clicking on them, they can obtain press releases and evaluation information about the products or services and the companies or people who provide them. Or it can help the consumer choose. The contents of this paragraph apply or mutatis mutandis to all ranking information displays in which the display of ranking information is digital content and hyperlinked to the digital content. The above is also the same and the following is also the same. The user first or later selects a region of interest and then selects a desired commerce category to receive ranking information. Regional selection can be gradually narrowed down to the desired level of detail in a wide range of areas. The level and location of the starting point can be selected automatically based on the user's identity or the address of the workplace, if the user's identity information is set, or set according to the user's predefined preferences, or the user's regional selection flow. The region representing the highest frequency can be selected. The category of commerce is a portal area-based commerce that includes all categories of services based on region-based products, and is presented in a directory type, searched by search function, or compressed by analyzing user preferences and usage patterns.

Second, we provide the above services by grouping the classified sites into categories. This is the case when specialized in one or two categories of commerce, including economically-wide regions. For example, there is a food ranking site, and its homepage is like food.ranking.com. For example, each region has a wide range of areas such as Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Busan, and Gwanak-gu, Gangnam-gu, Bundang, Misari, etc. It provides a list of caterers and rankings of customer satisfaction or user ratings for narrow areas, such as university areas, subway lines, but not in areas and administrative areas.

Third, we provide ranking services for a relatively small area. For example, the Gwanak-gu regional portal site provides a list of various commerce sites located in Gwanak-gu and provides various rankings of customer satisfaction. It can be operated in a more detailed manner, such as local commerce site for each apartment complex, integrated with a living information site, local government office site, or simply linked.

As a specific example of such regional-based commerce, we would like to introduce a regional commerce system.

Suppose there are specific and narrow regional ranges such as Bundang, Pyeongchon, Ilsan, and Mungdu Street. If these areas have their own centers of commerce, the neighborhoods will serve as spaces to satisfy the needs of life, supplying cultural needs and necessities, such as shopping, food, entertainment and sports. do. In particular, the ranking information for the center of commerce that is developed mainly in transportation centers such as large department stores, large discount stores, subway stations, etc. is very useful when the apartment complexes are concentrated according to the plan of the new town. And effectively trigger a deal.

In this case, the following may be considered as a terminal device providing ranking information. First, local commerce portal sites provide information through high-speed networks connected to homes. This is useful when residents use services that can be ordered without having to travel from home. Or, groups such as individuals and family members can grasp local information before going out and select a commercial company for their own use. In particular, various needs such as shopping, movie tours, meals, drinking, and the use of refreshments are planned. You can do it. If there is a commerce site searched at home, a discount coupon may be issued to a pre-selected company in exchange for information access, or it may be linked to a reservation service. You may also benefit from discounts, especially when you prepay for goods or services.

Second, as a wireless Internet service using broadband communication network, it provides information such as location, characteristics, and price of nearby excellent service companies while people are moving or using commerce. Or, by installing several stations of short-range wireless Internet service such as 802.11b, it is possible to connect to mobile terminal devices owned by individuals, so that the service can be performed at places used by the general public such as department stores, movie theaters, convenience stores, and large discount stores. Can help you choose the next commerce company you want.

Third, install a billboard that can attract people's attention by having a large screen in the center of the core of the commercial center, or operate a display board car that can move along with the large screen. The signboard displays ranking information for various categories on an electronic map displayed on the signboard. In addition to ranking information, you can present general broadcast content such as local news, product advertisements, music and music videos, as well as a map showing the list, features, merits and location of commerce companies. In particular, electronic billboards can provide information while circulating the center of commerce, taking advantage of the ability to move. Such electronic display media can be interacted with users, and considering that many users can watch simultaneously, ranking information displayed on the electronic map for various commerce categories can be changed as if the advertisement is changed on TV. You can also cycle through them. This can be especially true when neighboring locals use family commerce, couples, lovers, and friends as they use a commerce and wander around without a specific purpose, for example, after dinner and then reluctantly Let's say you have a lover who goes around looking for something. Ranking of cafes, rankings of pubs, rankings of pubs, rankings of video rooms, rankings of clothing stores, on the billboards of billboard cars that attracted attention with advertisements, music or other events that can be seen on TV. In addition, the rankings for ice cream shops and the like flow in sequence, so that the latest video rental rankings, various cocktails and wine types, and the latest song list can flow actively to induce commerce to these lovers.

Fourth, install terminals of the same size as ATM machines in various places around the center to post maps around the area, traffic information such as subways and buses, public information such as public offices, hospitals, etc. Selecting will display the commerce ranking information on the terminal's monitor. When the user interacts with the terminal using a touch screen, keyboard, or voice recognition method and selects a desired commerce category, the ranking information is displayed on the electronic map displayed on the monitor.

The ranking information may be provided in various media, for example, and may be used as a means for a user using the commerce company to input evaluation information.

Eighth, non-regional commerce

Non-regional-based commerce is a case where the geographic area subject to commerce is wider than the province, metropolitan city, or national size, and is considered to be very wide when judged by general common sense. For example, the demand for electronic products is spread evenly across the country, and the sales network, service network, and marketing to customers are all targeted to the whole nation.

Although the overall flow of the ranking system and hardware configuration in this case is not different from those of Figs. 10 and 11, the evaluator identity authentication and compensation management system 119 (119 ') acts as the main configuration module.

As for the regional category among the many categories to be ranked, in the seventh local-based commerce, the participants who are the subject of evaluation and the regional basis of the evaluator when the evaluator is a general public coincide. On the other hand, in the case of non-regional commerce, there is no participant's geographic base, so when the ranking is displayed on the electronic map, the ranking can be displayed as the evaluator's geographic base, not as the geographic base of the participant. For example, suppose you have a washing machine with Samsung, Daewoo, and LG's electronics. At this time, if the ranking information system obtains the evaluation information of the user of each region, and retained as a DB, it is possible to display the customer satisfaction of each company by region on the electronic map.

Even for non-regional commerce, each product category can be subordinated to various vertical and horizontal categories. For example, washing machines are subordinated to vertical categories under household appliances under electronic products, under industrial products, and the washing machines themselves can be categorized by price for high, medium, and low prices, and dehydrated by function. It is possible to classify the functional categories, such as, and can form a horizontal category under the coma, such as refrigerator, dresser, duvet, jewelry ring. Therefore, as described above, the company's customer satisfaction level can be displayed on the electronic map for each manufacturer, and the ranking information can be displayed on the conceptual map of each product category. For example, Samsung ranks first in the category of low-cost models with simple features, while Daewoo's product ranks first in the category of high-priced models with multiple functions, which can be displayed on an electronic map.

The evaluator's category can be classified into various categories such as the 20's, 30's, 40's or more, or the male or female's gender classification, married or unmarried classification.

Therefore, when an electronic map is not a geographical map, but a concept map for a highly virtual category, information such as preferences, customer satisfaction, and product purchase amount of various user categories for various product categories is displayed on the electronic map. It can be classified according to the ranking, which can be used as a tool for each company's customer relation management.

The basic flow of this application is as shown in FIG. 19. Here, the participant refers to a commerce company that is the target of the ranking, and the evaluator refers to a person who uses the participant or a general person using the participant or enters the evaluation information after using the company.

First, non-regional commerce companies that are participants in the ranking enter necessary information or personal information. Or, the manager of the ranking information acquisition system collects such company information. (191)

Second, based on the entered company information, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the pre-generated category. (192)

Third, in the case of an anonymous evaluator system, the evaluator inputs his necessary information or personal information prior to the evaluation and accesses the user identity authentication and compensation management system 209 to receive identity verification. The system may be implemented 209 inside the ranking management system or separately 209 'outside of the ranking management system. (193)

Fourth, the evaluator performs evaluation after using the participant and the result is input to the ranking information acquisition system 205. Such evaluation may be performed online on a ranking information acquisition system 205 existing separately from the ranking management system or on a ranking information acquisition system 205 'existing within the ranking management system, or on behalf of the operation of the ranking information acquisition system. Performed by a delegate (194)

Fifth, the evaluation result is transmitted to the ranking management system (195).

Sixth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the input evaluation result.

Seventh, the participant or evaluator selects a destination category from a medium such as an electronic map (197).

Eighth, the ranking DB for the selected category is transmitted to be displayed on the electronic map. (198)

Ninth, the participant or evaluator checks the ranking of the desired category on the electronic map (199).

The hardware configuration of the ranking system for non-regional commerce is as shown in Figure 20, the ranking management system 201 is basically composed of the main server 202, the ranking DB server 203. The ranking DB server stores various databases including category results DB, evaluation results, and detailed ranking DB for each category based on the personal information of each participant, and the main server integrates and manages the participants and various DB servers. It is a server that is the backbone that handles data processing. Optionally includes a homepage or personal space 204, 204 'for each participant or evaluator, and if you want a complex electronic map, a geospatial DB server 207 is implemented separately, which may be imported from outside (207'). have. In addition, the evaluator may input the evaluation information through the ranking information acquisition system provided in the inside 205 ′ or the outside 205 of the ranking management system, or the agent may perform the evaluation result collection operation. Finally, the results of the assessment are displayed on the computer's display of the participants 206 and 206 'or the evaluators 208 and 208'. The user authentication and compensation processing system 209 linked to the ranking information acquisition system 205 (205 ') is in charge of the identity authentication and compensation system for the user or evaluator of the commerce that entered the evaluation information. Each of these components is connected by a network, and the various connection lines of FIG. 20 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

In particular, in the case of non-regional commerce, there is no regional restriction, which is closely related to online purchasing behavior. In other words, if the transaction does not require the movement of a customer who uses commerce, or if it is possible to deliver the item for commerce, the transaction excludes a product that has a large impact on the product due to the delivery time and cost of the delivery, as in the case of Jjajangmyeon. Offline purchases and online purchases do not show much difference. Using this, ranking information displayed on the electronic map may be linked to an online purchase.

An embodiment of the flow of purchase behavior thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 36.

First, a user accesses a ranking site for a non-regional commerce product (361).

Second, the user accesses a category for a desired product through surfing and searching on the accessed site.

Third, ranking information about the item desired by the user is displayed on the electronic map, which is evaluated based on various criteria such as price, design, quality, consumer preference, and after-sales service of the product, and the user is informed about various aspects of the product. Is selected by comparing them with those of competing products. (363)

Fourth, detailed information on the selected product is presented, and a predetermined interaction, for example, an order menu that appears when the right mouse button is pressed, an order button that is located at a specific position of the window, is pressed into the commerce brokerage system 373. Interlocked (364)

Fifth, the order is completed with a single click based on the basic information previously input by the user. Recognition of the user uses the ID and password given to the individual, the fixed IP address of the computer, the program installed on the computer for payment, and the cookie information about the site.If the basic information is not entered, the order and payment This allows the user to enter the information required for delivery. Discounts may be granted in exchange for using the ranking system. (365)

Sixth, the product is delivered to the user (366).

Seventh, the user inputs the evaluation information after using the product or service, and this is reflected in the ranking (366).

The above delivery may be done directly by a commerce company, but may include a third party entrusted by a commerce company (a person who provides ranking related information or an operator of a ranking management system and a person who has been re-trusted or retrusted from them). ) At this time, the information of the conclusion of the transaction and the information about the consignment are transmitted to the third party, and the third party handles the delivery work. The advantage of this case is that economies of scale are realized (i.e., orders from multiple vendors are gathered and processed) so that purchase orders (such as Samsung 17-inch monitors) can be ordered in bulk if the product is standardized. Savings and purchase costs can be reduced.) Since a single delivery vehicle handles multiple companies' delivery tasks, the efficiency of delivery increases and the cost is reduced. Always applies, same as above, same as above.

Such a system configuration when a transaction for a non-regional based commerce item takes place can be made as shown in FIG. 37. The non-regional based commerce brokerage system 373 is linked with a ranking management system 371 for a non-regional based commerce item. Digital content is supplied from the producer and provider 372 of the underlying commerce item and supplied to the user. Lines and arrows shown in FIG. 37 indicate interactions between objects. If we talk about each interaction,

First, the user 374 receives the ranking of the non-region based commerce item from the non-region based commerce ranking management system 351 and uses it as a selection criterion of purchase. It also purchases non-regional based commerce items, uses them, and provides feedback on the evaluation to the ranking management system 371. (375-1)

Second, the provider 372, which collectively refers to producers, intermediaries, and suppliers of non-regional based commerce items, registers each non-regional based commerce item in the non-regional based commerce ranking management system 371, and inputs detailed information thereof. In order to stimulate the purchase desire of the user 374 and to induce a transaction, it provides a clear picture of the non-region-based commercial items, the three-dimensional stereoscopic information, and the like. The ranking management system 371 serves to induce the provider 372 of the non-regional based commerce item to provide such information. (375-2)

Third, when the user grasps the ranking information for each non-regional based commerce item from the electronic map provided by the non-regional based commerce ranking management system 371, obtains detailed information about it, and decides to purchase it, the non-regional The base commerce ranking management system 371 assists the user by providing a link for the user 374 to access the non-regional base commerce brokerage system 373. The non-regional commerce brokerage system 373 may be implemented within the non-regional commerce ranking management system 371, and may exist as an independent system. (375-3)

Fourth, when a user decides to purchase and accesses a non-regional commerce brokerage system 373 to order a desired non-regional commerce item, a variety of formal non-regional commerce provided by the provider 372 of the non-regional based commercial item. An item is purchased, and the non-regional commerce brokerage system 373 carries the commerce item from the provider 372 to the user 374, and provides the user 374 with a payment method so that the payment amount is the user 374. Help transfer from the provider 372. The non-regional based commerce brokerage system 373 may be a system that is independently owned and operated by the non-regional based commerce item provider 372, or is a system owned and operated by a group of non-regional based commerce item providers 372. It may be owned and operated by an independent entity. (375-4)

Ninth, content

Broadcasting programs, songs, music, columns, books, book reviews, software programs, designs, cartoons, games, etc. (Games used in this paragraph may include any action or activity in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). It can provide ranking information about everything that can be the subject of contents. Digital works that can be traded electronically with those that can be used as content in old media such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, or new media such as Internet broadcasting, various portal sites, and Interacitve TV. . Although not having a physical property based on region, various contents belong to various categories having high virtuality and can provide ranking information while being displayed on an electronic map that visualizes these conceptual categories. In particular, the ranking information for the digitizable content can be used as an important gateway of the digital content distribution market.

For example, a ranking site for digital content specialized in entertainment or entertainment would handle the following content. Audio, music video contents, movies, dramas, comedy, news, cartoons, documentaries, video contents such as advertisements, music, pop songs, rock, etc. , Personal information such as movie actors and models, or personal information content such as personal information, recent trends, character analysis, work analysis, interviews, etc., form various subcategories, and visualize these highly virtual contents. On the electronic map shown, the user searches for and selects a category of interest, and since the upper content of the ranking list of the presented contents is digitized, the electronic distribution is directly induced. It is a model that induces and encourages the public's attention to the content that the highest popularity and interest is concentrated, especially the entertainment content.

Another useful example of a ranking site for such content is a ranking site for digital works. Books can be printed and distributed offline on paper, distributed online in the form of an e-book, and viewed by users on a universal mobile terminal such as a general-purpose computer, e-book reader or PDA. Since various categories are created according to the contents of the book, the book is visually displayed on the electronic map and the ranking information is provided to encourage interest in the best sellers of each genre so that the book is distributed offline or electronically distributed online. It can be linked with e-book commerce.

On the other hand, the ranking concept can be applied to various learning contents, and it is possible to think of learning contents in various fields such as English, mathematics, management, science, common sense, law, various notices, programming, and financial technology. In the category of English, there are various detailed categories such as GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, TEPS, LSAT, SAT, English Composition, Reading, Listening, Grammar, Word, Idioms, etc. by grade level. In mathematics, various categories such as middle school mathematics, high school mathematics, probability, statistics, set, calculus, function, and computational mathematics are formed. Ranking information of various learning contents can be provided in the electronic map for the various categories. For example, in the GMAT category under English, the 1st Park Jeong Language School GMAT content, the 2nd JCMBA GMAT content, and the 3rd Lee Hoik Language School GMAT content are ranked in the ranking, and the users who read it are able to interact with each content provider. Links can be provided, and promotion of quality content and fair trade spread can be induced. Such learning content may be delivered to the user in electronic file format, e-book material, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly mail, auxiliary storage media such as CD, DVD, and Floppy Disk.

The basic flow of the ranking for this is as shown in FIG.

First, a participant who produces content or sells and brokers it and enters their personal information. Or, the manager of the ranking information acquisition system or a representative of the agent collects this necessary information or personal information. (171)

Second, based on the necessary information or personal information input, the ranking management system generates various detailed categories of participants or belongs to the previously created categories.

Third, the evaluator performs evaluation on the participant and the result is input to the ranking information acquisition system 185. Such evaluation may be performed online on a ranking information acquisition system 185 existing separately from the ranking management system or on a ranking information acquisition system 185 'present within the ranking management system, or in place of the operation of such a ranking information acquisition system. Performed by a delegate (173)

Fourthly, the recording result is transmitted to the ranking management system.

Fifth, a ranking ranking reflecting a category is generated by processing the input evaluation result (175).

Sixth, the participant or evaluator selects a destination category from a medium such as an electronic map (176).

Seventh, the ranking DB for the selected category is transmitted to be displayed on the electronic map (177).

Eighth, the participant or evaluator checks the ranking of the desired category on the electronic map (178).

The hardware configuration of the ranking system for the contents constituting the entire flow is as follows.

The content ranking management system 181 basically includes a main server 182 and a ranking DB server 183. The ranking DB server stores various databases such as various category result DB, evaluation results, and detailed ranking DB for each category based on the personal information of each participant, and the main server integrates and manages the participants and various DB servers. It is a server that is the backbone that handles data processing. Optionally includes a homepage or personal space (184) (184 ') for each participant or evaluator, and if you want a complex electronic map, a geospatial DB server 187 is implemented separately, which can be imported from outside (187'). have. In addition, the evaluator may input evaluation information through a ranking information acquisition system provided in the inside 185 ′ or the outside 185 of the ranking management system, or the agent may perform the evaluation result collection operation. Finally, the evaluation results are displayed on the computer's display of participants 186 and 186 'or evaluators 188 and 188'. Each of these components is connected by a network, and the various connection lines of FIG. 18 indicate that these components are connected by a network.

When digitized content is displayed on an electronic map, it is immediately brokered or traded, allowing for a fair assessment and reward of value. Digital contents belonging to the upper level are easily exposed to multiples and attract attention, and thus mass distribution is possible due to the nature of digital contents that can be easily formed and infinitely copied. Alternatively, the price of the digital content belonging to the upper rank and the price of the digital content belonging to the lower rank can be differentiated.

An online transaction system using a ranking of digital content such as an e-book can be considered as shown in FIG. 35. The digital content mediation system 353 is interlocked with the ranking management system 351 for digital content to receive digital content from the producer and provider of the digital content 352 and supply the digital content to the user. Lines and arrows shown in FIG. Note the interaction between each object. If we talk about each interaction,

First, the user 354 receives the ranking of the digital content from the digital content ranking management system 351 and uses it as a selection criterion for purchase. In addition, the digital content is purchased and used, and the feedback of the evaluation is provided to the ranking management system 351. (355-1)

Second, the provider 352, which collectively refers to the producer, mediator, and supplier of digital content, registers each digital content in the digital content ranking management system 351, inputs detailed information thereof, and desires for the purchase of the user 354. In order to stimulate and induce a transaction, the content of the teaser version of each digital content that can be distributed online is provided. This includes novel plots, thumbnails of pictures, collections of intros to music, copies that are less compressed than the original, but can capture the basic characteristics of the original, and only clipping a portion of the entire digital content. It appears in the form of. The ranking management system plays a role in inducing the digital content provider 352 to provide such information, prototypes, teaser products, etc. (355-2).

Third, after the user grasps the ranking information for each digital content from the electronic map provided by the digital content ranking management system 351, obtains detailed information about it, obtains a tasteful product, and tests and uses it. Upon determining the purchase thereof, the digital content ranking management system 351 assists the user by providing a link for the user to access the digital content transaction system 353. The digital content transaction system 353 may be implemented in the digital content ranking management system 351 and may exist as an independent system. (355-3)

Fourth, when the user 354 decides to purchase and accesses the digital content trading system 353 and orders the desired digital content, the user 354 purchases formal digital content provided by the digital content provider 352. The trading system 353 is responsible for mediating the content from the provider 352 to the user 354, and provides a method of payment to the user to help the payment amount be transferred from the user 354 to the provider 352. The digital content trading system 353 may be a system owned and operated by the digital content provider 352, a system owned and operated by a group of digital content providers 352, or owned and operated by an independent entity. Can be operated. (355-4)

The nine categories are classified according to the application targets, but a ranking portal can be considered separately. The concept of a regional ranking portal that encompasses everything from games, commerce, testing, people, organizations, etc., goes beyond the concept of an information site that provides basic local information, by providing regionally ranked information on many aspects of life. It is not valueless enough to be called a flood of garbage information, but rather a valued, classified and verified information provider. How to construct its model is as follows.

First, as a general search engine portal categorizes websites by dividing each category into directories in a single website and provides homepage information selected and selected according to the general information fidelity, all the previous application targets are categorized together. Directory type ranking information is provided.

Second, it links various sites that constitute one hub site and its infrastructure. For example, game.ranking.com is the ranking site for games, and people.ranking.com is the ranking site for people. Shop.ranking.com is a ranking site for commerce that has shops on a regional basis. In addition, ranking sites for bookstores such as book.shop.ranking.com can be implemented by adding the above URL.

Composite Application Example

In addition to the application configuration, there are the following complex applications.

Online teaching guidance system

An application invention related to the present invention is an online education guidance system.

In the game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services) 1 Those who have maintained the upper or upper ranks for a considerable period of time can be regarded as having various differences in the game or the like for holders such as lower rankings. Therefore, a person holding 1st place or the like may advise, transfer, or teach the holders of the lower rankings of the difference. And, although the ranking is not high, those who want a skill for a person who has a specific skill in a game or the like have a difference between the skills. That is, when there is a difference in the overall technology as well as in the partial technology, advice, transfer, or teaching may occur about factors causing the difference. In this case, the person who advises, transfers, and professors is defined as a teater, and the person who receives advice, transfers, and professors is defined as a learner, and the advice, transfers, professors, etc. Defined as teaching.

The basic flow of advice, transfer or teaching in this case is as follows.

First, on electronic maps specified in various categories as a result of games, etc. (games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). The ranking is displayed on the screen, and the subject learns the information about the ranking.

Second, the subject informs the instructor of the intention of teaching. The notification of this lesson may or may not go through a management system. The management system can provide both the learner and the learner with information on the notification of the lesson.

Third, the teaching conditions are agreed between the teacher and the subject, and the teaching contract is concluded by the agreement between the teacher and the subject. The management system may intervene in the terms and contracts of the teaching, contribute to the completion of the contracts, such as advising on the settlement of the terms and conditions of the contracts, drawing up the contracts, and overseeing the faithful implementation of the contracts. This is especially meaningful when the management system is the subject and closes the contract. Results of teaching, etc. (Overall information on evaluative judgment on teaching and various changes after teaching are called results of teaching, etc.)

A detailed description of how the management system contributes to the contract between the instructor and the subject is as follows. In the above and below, if the process of 'contract' exists or is mediated, the following process is equivalent or equivalent to the demand of the goods or services on the part of the instructor, the supplier of the goods or services on the part of the learner, the management system 'Third Party' in place and Goods or Services replaced or applied mutatis mutandis in Teaching Place.

First, the learner requests a lesson by designating the instructor to the management system. At this time, the management system shall apply mutatis mutandis to the instructor of his / her own games related to the intention and teaching of the teaching (games used in this paragraph, etc.) for any action, activity or performance in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services. Calculate the results of.) And the extent to which the results of the analysis can be disclosed to the subjects. Of course, regardless of the intention of teaching, when the management system assigns a ranking, the limit of information that can be disclosed can be set, and the level of information disclosure can be set individually in the procedure of joining.

Second, the learner does not specify the learner to the management system and requests the lesson. In this case, the management system may include a game, such as a game that is managed by the learner, that may satisfy the contents and conditions of the teaching request. The candidate's candidate is selected by searching the participant's DB, and the candidate is informed with the condition of intention to teach, and this information is also provided to the instructor. The teacher is determined by narrowing the scope of the teacher through the interaction between the teacher, the subject, and the management system. The tutor or subject may be plural. Figure 5 shows an example of the DB of the teacher.

Regarding the teaching, the management system will explain in detail how to rank the subjects as follows.

First, the results of the instructor's game, etc. (the game used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Rate it. This applies to a case in which a win or loss of TOEIC, TOEFL, Quits, online game, math or science is solved, or a score that can be quantified by an internal standard is generated.

Second, there is a case where an evaluative judgment must be made externally. In other words, the quality of the lecture, the contents of the lessons, and the methods of teaching are determined by their own wins and losses, and it is difficult to quantify them by internal standards. In other words, they should be evaluated externally. The method of making this evaluation judgment is explained in full detail.

In the following, a detailed evaluation will be made on the case of evaluating externally to determine win / loss, quantification, and ranking.

First, the management system includes all the contents related to the teacher's teaching (including all publicly available information about the teaching service and the instructor, such as teaching materials, teaching methods, teaching contents, teaching conditions, teaching period, etc.) to the management system. The management system then asks for the participant's judgment online. Participants' judgment is determined by how to give points, how to rank when there are several conflicting tutors, and when the two contestants contend for the teaching content they provide, the first place wins by evaluating the participants. The above may be how to win or lose by ranking. There are a plurality of evaluators, and the number of evaluators increases as the evaluation proceeds. The results of scores, wins, and loses of the students who were evaluated by these evaluators are transmitted from the participant to the management system, processed, stored in a DB as illustrated in FIG. 14, and reflected in the rankings. Stars are displayed on the electronic map. Among the contents of this evaluative judgment, the teacher was handsome. It also includes indirect relations with teaching, such as having a good voice. (The DB in FIG. 14 uses the teaching field as a supplier of a product or service, the teaching field as a product or service in a specific field, and a teaching position. The field shall be applied to the DB for the electronic commerce of goods or services by using the field as the location where the goods or services are supplied, and the teaching condition as the condition where the field is supplied as the goods or services. The tutor described in the system section is a supplier of a product or service, the subject is a purchaser of a product or service, the teaching content is a product or service of a specific field, and the teaching field is a field to which the product or service belongs. The tutor group as the supplier of goods or services, and the teaching position as the product or service. If the teaching is used as a means of conducting the teaching conditions, the teaching conditions are the conditions for supplying goods or services, and if the teaching is used as an act, All of the activities that take place on an e-commerce based basis result in a process of e-commerce for goods or services, which are part or all of the invention described in this online education guidance system. The process applies mutatis mutandis to e-commerce, with 'teaching' as 'goods or services', i.e., teaching can be positioned as an example of service provision during e-commerce.)

Second, assessments can be recruited during or after instruction. This may provide useful information for the subject or the prospective learner who later connects to the management system after the initial lesson. That is, the learner can make an evaluative judgment on the learner about various items provided by the management system for the learner's teaching contents, or the judgments made by the instructor or the subject by the subjective method. Evaluate judgments about Judgment on these is stored in the management system, and the level of disclosure is determined in advance by the level agreed with the instructor and the subject, and is disclosed accordingly.

As a result of the evaluation, information that can be displayed on the DB and electronic map stored in the management system is as follows.

First, the management system stores the ranking of the instructor for the specific category in detail and the results of the various evaluations that caused the ranking.If the instructor wishing to teach the class specifies the category as a pointing device on the electronic map, In this way, the student's rankings and related materials for the participant's desire can be provided to the participant.

Secondly, the learner shall apply the conditions (games, etc. (games used in this paragraph, etc.) to the management system by means of retrieval to all actions, activities and performances in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services. Type, category, area of interest or region, area, or other conditions) and request the results. That is, by searching the DB of the management system that matches the desired condition of the teacher can find optimized teacher group (teacher group or teacher candidates), it can be referred to the more accurate selection of the teacher.

The following describes the configuration and operation of the management system in online or offline teaching.

first. In 100%, online only, the principle is that there is no distinction between regions online, so anyone can learn the contents of their teaching from the top of the country or the world. Problems occurring at this time are as follows.

First, there is a need for translation. That is, if the teaching language of the teacher and the language desired by the subject do not match, the management system may provide a translation or subtitle service. Second, if the demand for a particular lesson exceeds the capacity of the server that supplies the content, use a cache server or mirror site, or if the lesson is not a real time interaction, e-mail the lesson content. You can send a different time, or recommend the teaching content of other tutors.

Second, teaching is conducted in parallel with online and offline. That is, when the instructor and the instructor meet in a specific physical space (a school, a game room, or a place having a physical entity), the contents of the instruction come and go. In this case, due to the offline factor, it is virtually impossible for all candidates to be instructed on the national or the world's number one. Therefore, the management system must respond to the teacher's conditional input by distinguishing between what is 100% online and what is not according to the characteristics of the teaching content. In consideration of the physical location of the subject, the instructor may disclose what should be done offline in his / her teaching contents, and the management system should reflect this in the instructor's information.

Linked to the educational institution and the present invention system has the following configuration. Of course, education includes not only school education, but also the whole education such as kindergarten, computer education, certificate education, cooking education, etiquette education, and educational institutions include entrance examination school, moisturizing school, computer school, certificate school, flower arranging school, and cooking school. It includes all educational contents (including service) providing organizations, and all educational contents providing organizations, individuals belonging to educational organizations, and individual instructors who do not belong to educational institutions.

Each employee of the educational institution becomes part of the participant when they access the management system, and they become the content provider. The contents provided by them are provided to the management system, and the management system reflects the contents, evaluation information, etc. provided by them, and ranks them by category, and displays them in correspondence with the locations on the electronic map to meet the information demands of the subjects. . At this time, the management system and the educational institution mediate the learner in accordance with the contract signed in advance. If they exceed the physical acceptance limits of the teaching institution, they do not mediate any more subjects and provide them with information about other educational institutions and mediate with them.

The management system mediates the teaching institution and the subjects to mediate instruction between them.

The ranking of the contents provided by each instructor or educational institution changes from time to time due to evaluation or the like, and the result is provided to the instructor and the learner by an electronic map or a search method in real time through the management system.

The present invention is described by taking mathematics education as an example.

Suppose there is a category called trigonometric function in high school first grade math. Mathematics corresponds to learning in games, etc. (games used in this paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to any activity, activity, performance, etc. in goods or services through media or goods). It is a mathematics, and it is a mathematics of one year of high school from kindergarten arithmetic to university mathematics, and a category called trigonometric functions is made in the first year of high school curriculum of mathematics such as set number and equation function figure. Of course, under the category of trigonometric functions, detailed items such as trigonometric basics, trigonometric graphs, trigonometric equations, and application to figures can be made. Trainer A in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and Trainer B in Busan, respectively, uploaded their teaching content for this trigonometric function to the management system, and the management system ranks or compares the teaching contents of A and B by the learner's access and evaluation. Win or lose. This result is represented on the electronic map. Let A be the winner (better rated). Then, regardless of who requests information at the national level, the ranking of the nation's No. 1 is occupied by the instructor A, and the information is represented on the electronic map. If a trainee b who lives in Busan inquires about Busan and ranks on the electronic map, the management system displays B, which is No. 1, on the electronic map.

If C, who lives in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, became the nation's No. 1 by uploading teaching contents about the trigonometric function, C would be ranked at the national level, A at Gwanak-gu, and B at Busan. At this time, the ranking of A and B is determined according to the ranking method determined internally by the management system.

Subject a living in Gwanak-gu, Seoul specifies Gwanak-gu as a condition for the location of the teacher's teaching, connects student A to C on an electronic map or search, and provides information about C in conjunction with A. Even if you want to take the teaching content of C even if you take the inconvenience of teaching location. If each teaching content occurs 100% online, then C is given in preference to A or B, given that the learner does not know that the teaching content is provided 100% online, despite the specification of the Gwanak phrase. In this way, the trainees who access the management system can find the most suitable tutors, e.g. a school teacher, a tutor, a person who teaches a game, a kindergarten, a school, a group of tutors, on an electronic map.

For education-related content providers, the concept of education manager is introduced. The education serviceman content provided by the education manager is the general manager of planning, management, counseling, consulting, analysis, and advice on the education of the instructor. It is not a teaching content itself (for example, a trigonometric function). Refers to the provision of services. Hereinafter, education-related content provided by the education manager is referred to as education service contents, and a person who receives the service is defined as an education service content consumer.

Those who wish to be a training manager provide their education service contents to the management system, and the management system announces them, and participants evaluate them, build the results as a DB, and give rankings for each category of each training manager. It is then linked to a location on the electronic map and shown to the participants, and responds to the participants' search requests. In addition, the results are built into the DB by reflecting the feedback of participants or evaluators over time, and the data are updated by reflecting the results in rankings and the like.

The interaction between the management system and the education service content provider consists of:

The management system gives the education service content provider a virtual space inside the management system. In this virtual space, the contents of the service contents provided by the educational service contents provider, the related information of the service contents provider, or the contents that can interact with the contents and the DB are built based on the contents. When the education service contents provided by the education manager operate only at 100% online and in parallel with the online and offline operation, the configuration and operation of the management system in the online or offline lessons are followed.

When the educational service contents are provided in parallel with the online and offline, the education manager's service is subject to location restrictions. In other words, educational service content providers are subject to location constraints when they need to meet, visit, or collect multiple consumers in a certain place to plan, manage, consult, consult, analyze, and advise on education. However, even if he does not belong to the top ranking nationwide, if he maintains the top ranking in a certain region of a certain category, the demand for the education service contents provided by him may generate an appropriate amount. This is especially true for the overall effect of the overall design and planning of education, such as entrance examinations, certifications, parenting education and education of expertise.

* The management system connects educational service content consumers and providers through electronic guidance and search, assists in the contract system, and, if there is a price, mediates the price.

Further expansion of the spirit of the present invention can be applied to the following places.

Arbitrary services must have the following attributes: First, the provision of the service must be restricted in place. That is, it should be provided based on a certain area where all or part of the service, such as a hospital, a beauty salon, a restaurant, a jjimjilbang, etc., can be practically limited. Second, all or part of the service must be able to be presented online in a particular way. In other words, in the case of a beauty salon, the services provided in the beauty salon, such as a sample of a hair style, and in the case of a hospital, should be able to present specific contents of products such as a comprehensive health examination program online.

Third, the consumer of the service should be able to evaluate from the information on the online service, and the evaluation includes a large evaluation evaluation of the contents of the service actually experienced by the consumer offline.

If the above conditions are satisfied, the winning and losing points can be given to each service provider based on the evaluation judgment, and the ranking and the like are generated based on the scores, and the position of the service provider on the electronic map. It can be displayed in correspondence with the information. For example, if a particular restaurant named Naju Gomtang is ranked # 1 for the food category of Gomtang in the local category of Sinrim-dong, Gwanak-gu, display the ranking of Naju Gomtang on an electronic map or respond to a search. Can give

Locations of trainers, educational service content providers, and other service providers that meet certain conditions of the present invention may be provided in conjunction with a geographic information system (GIS). When teachers, educational service content providers, and other service providers satisfying certain conditions of the present invention are based on physical location, meeting with consumers at the physical location is often necessary. This is because the Geographic Information System (GIS), which has a database of geographic information, can find the place where it meets and make the process easier.

Expert placement system by sector

An application invention associated with the present invention includes a specialist recruitment system for each field. Sectoral specialists may correspond to all of the preceding application configurations. For example, game makers, politicians, administrators, entertainers, publicly known figures, hairdressers, barbers, pastors, real estate professionals, accounting professionals, swimming instructors, designers, providers of various commerce and services, content authors and intermediaries. Etc. are all included. In the various categories in which the expert falls into place, the upper level expert provides instruction to the non-expert general person or those who are lower in rank and lower level than the previous education guidance system or lectures about their own experience and knowledge. Or to perform a commerce that provides a service at a cost by using the skills and experience of an expert, such as acting directly on another party and creating an object.

Expert affiliations are grouped into categories, subcategories, and subcategories, and are provided in a directory format with similar categories, providing convenience by allowing users to search these directories in the search box. It is available in monthly, yearly, etc., and provides a list of experts who have a lot of direct transactions due to reasons such as price, price, etc., apart from those who are well rated.

The basic flow of enabling such a service is as follows.

First, the ranking of the experts of each field is displayed on the electronic map specified by various categories, and the service user recognizes the information on the ranking. The user selects an area in which the expert works and provides a service or a product, and an individual category such as a region, a gender, a school, an organization to which the expert belongs, and the order of selection may be determined by the user. For example, if a user wants a tennis lesson, first select a field called tennis, select an organization category called Seoul National University, grasp the ranking, and then request a match, a lesson, and advice. The advantage of selecting an organization category of Seoul National University is that the user is a Seoul university student, so that he can easily conduct activities such as fighting and teaching by using a tennis court in the school. Alternatively, if a user selects a field of plasterer and selects a regional category called Gwanak-gu, and uses the ranking information displayed on the electronic map, the user can request and bargain at a higher ranker.

In order to make it easier for service users to recognize the top ranking experts and to provide more comprehensive and accurate information, when a top ranking expert on the electronic map is displayed, a link or a home page describing this expert in detail is provided. It provides you with access to the spaces of experts, and provides columns of experts, education, careers, works, teaser works, various introductions, awards, number of service provisions, work schedules, and a look-up table for the cost of using services. In addition to the information of experts in the top rankings, as well as a variety of detailed, unusual and interesting information, news, columns, etc. about the field, users can find more interest and frequent search in the field. For example, in the field of real estate, it provides a general map with real estate common knowledge and ticker tables, various financial techniques and columns using real estate, and information on related interiors, such as electronic maps to secure a lot of users and their loyalty. Can be derived.

Secondly, the service user notifies the service provider of the intention of using the service. At this time, the notification of the teaching may go through a management system, or may provide a contact point of an expert to an electronic map or a space linked thereto so that the service user and the service provider directly contact each other. When the notification of service use goes through itself, the management system provides both the detailed information about the instructors and the subjects, ensures the reliability of the transaction, and provides the general transaction quotes so that the fair transaction can be performed on both sides. Can be done.

Third, if the terms of service use are agreed, a service contract for providing services by an expert is concluded. The management system may intervene in the detailed terms of such a contract, may contribute to the conclusion of the contract, such as the conclusion of the terms and conditions of the contract, the preparation of the contract, and the oversight of the faithful implementation of the contract. This is especially meaningful when the management system is the subject and closes the contract.

Comprehensive information on the evaluation of the results of service provision and various changes after service provision can be investigated by another expert belonging to the ranking management system or commissioned by the management system. Can be fed back to the ranking management system via the ranking information acquisition system.

The process in which the management system contributes to the contract between the user and the provider of the service is described in detail as follows.

First, the service user requests the management system by designating a specialist who becomes a service provider. At this time, the management system determines whether the intention of providing the service to the expert and to what extent the detailed information of the expert can be disclosed to the service user. Of course, regardless of the intention of providing the service, when the management system gives a ranking, the limit of information that can be disclosed may be set, and the level of information disclosure may be individually determined in a procedure such as subscription.

Secondly, the service user requests management service without specifying the expert to the management system. In this case, the management system is a game, such as a game in which the user manages an expert who can satisfy the details and conditions of the service requested by the service user (such as a game used in this paragraph, e-commerce or emergency through a product or service). Search the DB of the participant, select the expert candidate, notify the candidate with the condition of intention to provide the service, and provide this information to the service user. do. Through the interaction of experts, service users, and management system, the experts to provide services are decided while reducing the scope of experts. The expert or service user may be plural. For example, by integrating a number of service users who wish to make a plasterer, you can introduce the plasterer to reduce the cost of using the service, gather a number of experts in related fields such as plasterer, bricklayer, interior designer, etc. Team up entrepreneurs who want to start a local-based commerce service company in any commerce area, team up with experts in the top rankings of various categories such as general entrepreneurship construction specialists, successful entrepreneurs, real estate specialists, and financial experts. This team of specialists provides startup entrepreneurship services.

The relationship between mutual payment between the user who views the ranking information for these experts and the ranking management system is divided into the following relationships.

First, as a concept of advertising that exposes experts in each field that wants to provide a service and receive a price for the user, the user pays the price of the advertisement.

Second, the user is paid for using the information in terms of providing detailed information on the experts that are difficult to obtain while ranking among the experts.

Third, the user freely reads the ranking information without any mutual payment relationship.

This classification is decided by the manager of the ranking management system according to the field of experts and the social value of the human resources DB.

Cyber competition system

With the application invention related to the present invention, it is possible to consider the configuration of a cyber competition system in a group unit on a network.

A small or large group or a group represented by a number of representatives, such as a game or the like (the game used in this paragraph includes any action, activity, or performance in electronic or non-commercial transactions through goods or services); Can be applied mutatis mutandis). For example, if an elementary school cyber mathematics competition is held in units of each grade level of each school, all members of each school may participate or the representatives of the representatives of each school year may be concurrent or sequential. In order to participate in a game or the like, it is possible to generate a result of winning or losing in the game. At this time, the result of the win / loss can be analyzed to generate a ranking and the like and displayed on the electronic map.

For example, for the category of elementary school sixth grade mathematics, Samsung elementary school in Sinrim 9-dong in Gwanak-gu may be the first ranking. Sixth graders in elementary schools in Gwanak-gu may have challenged the first place, and such as games (games used in this paragraph include any actions, activities and performances in e-commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). If the ranking is changed, the sixth graders of Samsung Elementary School will no longer be ranked first in Gwanak-gu and will have a lower ranking. In other words, a specific area called Gwanak-gu on the electronic map would be under the control of another 6th grade elementary school who was newly ranked first.

In such group-level competitions, games may be accessed simultaneously and games (the games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Participants may participate in a sequential or random order to perform a game or the like and determine a win or loss. At this time, the ranking resulting from group wins and loses is processed in real time according to the results of the game of individual members of each group so far and displayed as the ranking of the whole group.

Cyber betting systems

An application invention related to the present invention may constitute a betting system in cyberspace.

Betting may be made on games, etc. (games used in this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to any act, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services). Things that can be played in games can be money, cyber money, mileage, credits, victory points, points, items such as games, other oil prices, all of nothing, and options. These bets help to win the games with different rankings, not only increase the concentration and interest in the game, but also allow third parties to place bets or loses on games or games. This betting system also helps in activating trading for rankings.

When there is a game (the game used in this paragraph, etc. shall apply mutatis mutandis to any action, activity, performance, etc. in electronic commerce or non-commercial transactions through goods or services), this game, etc. There are times when you have a personality. The nature of an event refers to the following factors: First, when the progress of the game, etc. is disclosed to others, second, when the information of both participants of the game, etc. are disclosed externally; third, the difference in the expectations of each participant of this event with respect to the win or loss of the participants. (difference) For example, when A in the top rankings and B in another top ranking in a game, etc., compete for the top level category (such as StarCraft Seoul championship), the game attracts the attention of many participants. Since it is possible to do so, the progress of games and the like is disclosed, and the information of A and B (such as the total rankings, the top rankings of each distinction, etc.) can be provided to others, and if the win or loss is not obvious, this is an event character. When the highest number of mathematics in school A is honored by the highest number of mathematics in school B and is bounced into mathematics on the cyber, at least two schools have an event character.

In order for a bet to be established, there must be something that can be bet at the same time that the condition of existence of the event personality is satisfied. That is, there are no restrictions on what can be bet, but it must not be a gambling crime under criminal or other special laws. In other words, the ranking may be given a total score by the history of the game or the like, and the total score or the risk of a certain portion of the ranking (for example, if one of the cheering ones loses) If you give 3 opponents to your opponent, you lose 3 against that opponent, and the result of your bet is reflected in your ranking, so you can risk losing or losing the ranking. This bet must be of value that can be objectively exchanged, redeemed and redeemed between each participant or through the management system. The result of betting, etc., will be allocated according to the rules set internally when win or lose.

Commerce guidance system using intelligent car

An application invention related to the present invention includes a computer connected to a wireless network, and a commercial guidance system using an intelligent vehicle equipped with a monitor capable of displaying contents such as an electronic map.

A car is not forbidden for political reasons by the individual who owns or drives the car, and can reach any desired area to which a road is connected, and is free to move from one area to another. This mobility of automobiles has different attributes from local-based commerce of the previous application, which assumes that commerce is carried out around a specific region, or non-regional-based commerce targeting the entire region. In other words, even local-based commerce can induce commerce by contacting various regions.

Computer systems mounted in automobiles are wirelessly connected to a network, through which the commerce related information is provided. Information is provided as follows.

First, commerce related information is provided through a network in real time from a regional-based portal commerce site in a specific region. For example, if a person who drives by car enters a neighborhood near work, the residential commerce portal site will display the ranking of various fields of commerce on an electronic map displayed on the monitor. Upon entering, the local commerce portal will provide ranking information on the electronic map. If you select the category you want from the regional portal portal site that covers various categories such as restaurants, furniture stores, entertainment facilities, sports facilities, public facilities, florists, pubs, etc. Detailed maps of commerce companies can be displayed, telephone numbers can be announced, telephones can be connected to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and reservations, orders and payments can be made using a wireless transaction system. And the like may possibly be interlocked.

In the process of accessing the portal commerce site of the region, the user in the vehicle can search the commerce site for the desired region on the wireless network and access the site, and the unique endowed to the network terminal device of the vehicle. The number is transmitted over the network and the location can be identified as the location of the GPS or wireless base station and guided to the adjacent portal site. Alternatively, a wireless system operated by an operator of a regional-based commerce portal site directly communicates with a network terminal device of a vehicle to determine a location and provide ranking information.

Second, information is provided on the commerce ranking site for each specific item. This site provides a wide range of information on regionally-based commerce establishments, allowing users to provide ranking information for regional categories of their choice. For example, let's say a traveling car driver uses a site that offers rankings for properties. On the electronic map provided by the wireless network, the user can obtain the ranking of the properties around Daecheon Beach, expand the category range to obtain the ranking of the properties of Boryeong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, and obtain the ranking information of the properties of the whole Chungcheongnam-do. Can be. Alternatively, on the electronic map, the user can obtain the ranking of the property in an arbitrary area drawn freely on the map by using a keyboard or a touch screen. In particular, it meshes with the Global Positioning Sysytem (GPS), which sets the car's current location, and the car's current location is displayed on an electronic map and the user is within an area within 5 km radius, an area within 10 km radius, and a distance within 30 km radius. Select a region, etc. to get ranking information for that region. It is possible to determine the accommodations that are suitable for oneself by comprehensively considering the detailed information of the ranking provided by the schedule, the travel time, and the ranking displayed on the electronic map.

The ranking of each item includes gas stations, lodging facilities, car washes, cafes, various restaurants, tourist attractions, car centers, ski resorts, ski equipment rental shops, and swimming pools.

Third, if a user who rides a car selects a desired item, a system that searches all the sites that provide the ranking for this item, automatically selects the highest ranking commerce store, and suggests the shortest path to travel. The appropriate regional range is determined by the conditions set by the user in advance. The setting by the radius distance, the setting by the time required by linking GPS, GIS and traffic information, and the method of preselecting a specific area are used.

For example, if a child in the back of the car wants to eat pizza, and enters pizza in the search box, the restaurant ranking site, the nearby local commerce ranking site, etc. are searched and the result is obtained. The process is as shown in FIG.

Commerce guidance system using personal portable terminal device

An application invention related to the present invention is a commercial guidance system using a personal portable terminal device.

A personal portable terminal with a wireless network function is portable and can be connected in real time with a person who provides a wireless communication service through a transmission / reception function. It has features. In particular, in the case of a mobile phone, by establishing a one-to-one correspondence with each user through a personalized terminal device, it is easy to establish a personal compensation system according to access, identity authentication, evaluation, and use, and a system for ordering and payment for commerce. It has the advantage that it can be implemented inside the device. This is possible because the portable terminal device has a storage space, a central processing unit for calculation, can install separate software, and can communicate with an external system.

The basic flow of commerce guidance using a personal portable terminal is as follows.

First, they access the gateway of a commerce ranking site using wireless communication. The connection is made by bookmarking an address of a ranking site and selecting it, by directly inputting a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a commerce ranking, or by a user pronouncing a promised voice protocol and recognizing it by the portable terminal device. Alternatively, the software may be assigned to a specific button or a combination of specific buttons of the cellular phone terminal by software setting that can be changed by the user. For example, pressing the asterisk (*) button and the number 7 button at the same time leads to a commerce ranking site. Or, when the terminal is released, a connection for supporting a commerce ranking is established by pressing a specific button implemented in hardware (381).

Secondly, the mobile terminal automatically moves from the identified location of the mobile terminal device to the commerce ranking site of the corresponding region or moves to the corresponding region section of the comprehensive commerce site. Alternatively, in consideration of the fact that the user who owns the terminal device can move, region selection is given as a possible option.

Third, enter the desired commerce item. The entry of an item is made from a combination of Korean, English, and numbers selected from a menu or assigned to a button by operating a hardware button operation. Alternatively, a menu displayed on the screen may be manipulated in a touch screen manner, an item input from handwriting recognition, or voice recognition may be used. In the case of voice recognition, it is possible to recognize only the owner by utilizing the characteristics of the personalized terminal (383).

Fourth, the ranking for the input item of the region is searched and a list of occupants of the upper ranking is provided. Such a list is provided on an electronic map appearing on the terminal device or in a hierarchical form of text. If the provided list is not satisfactory, a menu is provided to allow the user to move to a higher regional category or a category of a neighboring region. (384)

Fifth, when a user selects a specific business from the provided list, the location information of the business, the moving path from the current location, the contact telephone number, the homepage or order trading system of the business, reservation availability, detailed menu, features, price, etc. It is provided and enables pre-ordering through the terminal. (385)

Sixth, it is possible to pay with a mobile terminal, so it is possible to pay in advance before using the establishment or after use. Discounts may apply for bookings and prepayments or prepayment of reservations. The payment is made by accessing the commerce billing system to the terminal device via a broadband communication network, or by using a short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth, the terminal device and the commerce store's payment system interact with each other, and the payment system of the store sends the payment information to the billing system. Send (386)

Seventh, enter the evaluation information after using the commerce. In the case of a personalized terminal device, the terminal automatically recognizes it with a unique number given to the terminal device.

Eighth, the cost of transmitting the evaluation information is saved. The cost earned is generated by the number of commerce usage generated from the ranking system from the ranking commerce establishment, or is advertised as a concept of advertisement cost according to the degree of exposure to the user in the upper ranking.

Ranking information system using digital television

An application invention associated with the present invention includes various ranking information systems using digital TVs capable of two-way data transmission.

An electronic map of the ranking system can be used as broadcast content of digital TV existing in a static space such as a home or a company.

It is in the form of a channel that provides only ranking information, or an entire program provides ranking information, ranking information is used instead of the advertisement between programs, or ranking information that is of interest to the public in a short time such as 1 minute news. Ranking information is provided in a corner of a specific program, such as a news report, a show or an entertainment program.

First, ranking information for politicians by region may be provided. An electronic map showing each region is provided, providing ranking information. It works in conjunction with general broadcast programs such as news, documentaries, and feature broadcasts.

First, personal details of politicians of interest are examined or inputted by politicians themselves, supporters, ranking managers, broadcasters, and the like.

Second, the evaluation of politicians is examined.

Third, the survey results are quantified and scores are calculated for politicians who are participants in the rankings.

Fourth, a ranking for politicians is determined from the calculated scores, which are stored in the DB.

Fifth, ranking information of politicians for each region is displayed on an electronic map. The area of the electronic map is circulated for each subregion, and is processed and displayed for each subregion, middle region, and large region.

Sixth, if the spectator of the broadcast selects a specific region category or a specific politician while looking at each ranking, detailed information appears.

Seventh, it is possible to feedback the evaluation information of the spectators so that votes on preference, popularity, etc. can be collected and collected electronically.

In addition, rankings for categories by type of broadcast programs, categories by time zone, and the like can be considered.

First, a viewer who views each broadcast program may input a preference, whether to watch the program, or the like during or after watching the program.

Second, scores that can be quantified, such as viewer ratings and preferences, are calculated from the data input by the viewer.

Third, rankings of programs by broadcasting companies are displayed on the electronic map with respect to categories by program type and time zone categories. The electronic map at this time is drama, daily drama, weekend drama, music program, show program, comedy, news, entertainment program, special drama, short act, education, documentary, sports broadcast, 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm It is a conceptual map with various virtualities, such as at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the ranking is visually displayed on the conceptual map.

Fourth, when a viewer selects a program or when a viewer wants to see another program while viewing a specific program, the viewer determines the viewing program by referring to the ranking information displayed on the electronic map.

The conceptual system configuration thereof is shown in FIG. The viewer watches the program (295-1), inputs the result of the program viewing to the program content ranking management system 293 (295-2), and selects a program to watch from the ranking information for the program displayed on the electronic map. (295-3) The digital TV 291 has a function of interworking with a ranking management system in a program that becomes broadcast content when a user performs a promised interaction and a user of a higher level program that appears on an electronic map of the ranking management system.
