Description

Data collection method, data transmission method and apparatus {METHOD FOR GATHERING DATA, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA}

The present invention relates to a method of collecting data and to a method and apparatus for transmitting data.

A conventional wired Internet 104 service and a wireless Internet 114 service will be described with reference to FIG.

With the recent widespread use of the Internet, the Internet is acting as the most important medium for people to get information. People generally use the Internet 104 through a Personal Computer (PC) 106. As shown in FIG. 1, the PC 106 may be connected to the Internet network 104 to receive data from the wired web server 102.

On the other hand, people may use the wireless Internet 114 via the mobile phone terminal 116. The mobile phone terminal 116 collectively refers to a device that allows a user to carry and use a phone while moving. Recently, the mobile phone terminal 116 is usefully used to receive various data in the form of a text, an image, a video, or the like through the wireless Internet 114 service. As the CDMA-2000 (Code Division Multiple Access-2000) network or the IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication in the year 2000) network is commercially available and widely distributed, the provision of data through the wireless Internet 114 is becoming more active.

Wireless Internet 114 is currently provided by mobile operators or Content Providers (CPs). The user accesses the wireless Internet 114 through the wireless Internet 114 connection menu of the mobile phone terminal 116, such as “Magic-N” by KTF, “NATE” by SK Telecom, “Ez-I” by LG Telecom, or the like. I can connect it. When the mobile phone terminal 116 is connected to the wireless Internet 114, the mobile phone terminal 116 may receive data from a wireless web server 112 provided by a mobile service provider or a content provider.

In this manner, the user may be provided with data using the Internet 104 service through the PC 106 or the like, or the wireless Internet 114 service through the mobile phone terminal 116 or the like. However, the Internet 104 and the wireless Internet 114 are not compatible with each other and operate in different environments. In general, the Internet 104 is based on HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and HyperText Markup Language (HTML) technologies. HTML technology is a technology used to render web pages. The wireless Internet 114 also uses HTTP protocol and HTML technology, but the standard used in the wireless Internet 114 is simpler than the standard used in the wired Internet 104. This is a connection between terminals used for each service. This is because of differences in method, processing power, communication capacity, and display screen size. Therefore, data provided by the wired Internet 104 service is difficult to display properly in the mobile telephone terminal 116 using the wireless Internet 114.

On the other hand, in recent years, many people are provided with data through the Internet 104 or the wireless Internet 114, this data is often provided only once. News information and the like of portal sites provided through the Internet 104 are representative examples of such data. After the user is provided with news information via the Internet 104 at the PC 106, the user no longer receives the same data again when leaving the PC 106. Of course, it is not impossible to get the same data again. For example, the user may follow a link to receive the same data again, or store the data in the PC 106. However, these methods are quite inconvenient and limited in personal data management.

The provision of data via the wireless Internet 114 has this same problem. The wireless Internet 114 has the advantage of using the Internet while on the move, but the wireless Internet 114 also often provides only one-time data. In addition, it is difficult to use the Internet 104 service as in the PC 106 due to the connection method, processing capability, display screen size, etc. of the mobile phone terminal 116.

Therefore, there is a need for a method in which a user can easily collect data and view the collected data at any time through the mobile telephone terminal 116.

6 is a diagram schematically illustrating data collection, data transmission, and data display according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A wired web page 622 is provided from the wired web server 602 via the internet 604. The user connects to the Internet 604 via the PC 606 and browses the wired web page 622. The user extracts and collects a part of the wired web page 622 by using the data collection web page 624 in the PC 606. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 7. In general, the wired web page 622 is composed of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags. Part of the wired web page 622 may also be composed of a combination of HTML tags.

Part of the collected wired web page 622 is sent to the wireless web server 612 and stored in the database 628 of the wireless web server 612. At this time, the telephone number of the mobile telephone terminal on which a part of the wired web page 622 is to be displayed is transmitted to the wireless web server 612 together. The database 628 stores web pages with telephone numbers as keys. The wireless web server 612 receives a request for transmission of a portion of the wired web page 622 collected from the mobile phone terminal 616 via the wireless internet 614. The wireless web server 612 uses the telephone number of the mobile phone terminal 616 to retrieve a portion of the corresponding wired web page 622 from the database 628.

The wireless web server 612 reconstructs the data retrieved from the database 628 into the data display page 626. Reconstructed data display page 626 is optimized for display on mobile phone terminal 616. Since the data stored in the database 628 can be composed of pieces of HTML code, it can be reconstructed for the mobile phone terminal 616. The entire wired web page 622 is difficult to be displayed as it is on the mobile phone terminal 616 due to the processing capacity of the mobile phone terminal 616 or the size of the screen. However, since part of the wired web page 622 contains relatively little content, it can be effectively displayed in the mobile phone terminal 616 as well.

The mobile phone terminal 616 receives the data display page 626 via the wireless Internet 614. When the mobile phone terminal 616 connects to the wireless web server 612, a technology such as a mobile address (WINC) may be used. WINC is a technology that allows access to the wireless Internet 614 using numbers instead of entering a complex Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to use the Internet. The mobile phone terminal 616 displays the data display page 626 received through the wireless Internet 614. In this case, if the mobile phone terminal 616 is a terminal that supports full-browsing, the link included in the data display page 626 may be implemented to be connected to the full-browser. That is, when the user clicks on the link included in the data display page 626, a full browser is executed, and the user can directly browse the linked web page.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the user may input a content to be collected by selecting a portion of the web page 720 and dragging and dropping the content to the content input unit 704.

The user may input the phone number of the mobile phone terminal to display the collected web page on the phone number input unit 706. When the user enters his mobile phone terminal telephone number, the collected web page can be confirmed through his mobile telephone terminal. If a phone number or identification number is automatically input through user authentication, this process may be omitted.

On the other hand, the user may enter a friend's mobile phone terminal telephone number, so that the friend can view the web page collected by the user. The wireless web server 612 may transmit a notification message when the web page is collected. In this case, when the user enters the friend's mobile phone terminal number, a notification message that the web page has been collected may be sent to the friend. For example, the notification message is “User A has collected a web page and sent it to you. To check the contents of the web page, press the Wireless Internet NATE button and enter 123 # 456 through WINC. ” The friend may know that the web page has been collected through the notification message, and may view the web page collected by the user through his mobile phone terminal.

The data collection web page 700 may include a password input unit 708, and a user may set a password for security. When the user inputs a title, content, phone number, password, and the like and presses the save button 710, the input items are transmitted to the wireless web server 612.

Meanwhile, the data collection web page 700 described above may be implemented in the form of a program. Such a program is referred to herein as a data collection program.
