In addition, when a part is said to "include" a certain component, which means that it may further include other components, except to exclude other components unless otherwise stated.

Hereinafter, an object management system including an object management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a relationship between a person and an object according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a network diagram of a system for managing a relationship between a person and an object according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. A block diagram illustrating a configuration of a relationship management apparatus included in a relationship management system between an individual and an object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 1, terms to be used below are defined in advance.

In the following description, 'user' is a natural person and is a subject who forms an association with an object to be described later, and 'user account' is a unit that manages each of these users online. A user account is created by a user entering a user information to be described later through a user terminal through a user terminal and performing a membership registration process, or the user installs and executes an application interworking with a relationship management device to be described later on a user terminal. It can be created by using or by linking an account of a third party service such as a social network service.

In addition, the 'user information' may include personal information of each user distinguished from each other, for example, a name, gender, occupation, age, telephone number, and the like.

In addition, the term 'object' refers to any type of intangible or intangible transaction that a user can experience by purchasing, using, or spending online or offline, such as a property, real estate, service, or content. And an object account is a unit that manages each of these objects online. Further, the object information may include information necessary to identify and understand the object, such as a name for identifying each object, a provider of the object, and an image of the object.

Here, the object account and the corresponding object information may be managed / created / modified / deleted by an administrator of the relation management apparatus described later with editing authority, or a user may create / modify / delete an account. You can also do it. Alternatively, a plurality of users may cooperate to modify object information of an object corresponding to the object account.

In addition, each object may be classified into a plurality of categories divided into at least one or more levels. As an example, the 'Granger' with the category attribute of 'Car / Medium / Sedan' may be an object, and the 'Samsung Smart TV' with the category attribute of 'Home appliances / Display / TV' may be an object.

In the following description, an “association relationship” defines a relationship between a user and an object, and may include at least one relationship and may include two or more relationships that are distinguished from each other. For example, an association may be divided into an 'experience relationship' indicating that the user has already experienced the associated object, and an 'interest relationship' expressing interest in the related object. For example, the user may set the book he read as an object as an experience relationship with himself, and set his own car as an object as an experience relationship. Also, for example, the user may set the clothes he wants to purchase as his interest. Of course, associations may be more granular than those illustrated above, or they may be defined as only one relationship that is not distinguished.

In addition, 'relationship information' includes user account identification information (ie, user identification information) of a user and object account identification information (object identification information) of an object that are related to each other. Information about the user (eg, whether it is a relationship of interest or experience).

In addition, the relationship information may include a 'tag' for more subjectively defining an association between the user and the object. That is, the tag contains data that defines the nature of each association. For example, the tag when the user account A is associated with an object account called 'Granger' may be "My First Rottweiler," and the tag when it is associated with "Samsung Galaxy Note" is "Gift Received on the 20th Birthday." And the tag when associated with a 'macbook air' may be "Collection No. 1". These tags can be defined by the user. As such, the user-defined tag is stored together for each association, so that each user's definition of the relationship with respect to the object can be recognized as an emotional and emotional behavior. By importing, users can utilize the relationship management service between individuals and objects according to the present invention in a more active and serious manner.

The relationship information may further include time information associated with a user and an object.

In the following description, "content" is unit data including data received or selected from a user with respect to a specific object, and data created by the user associated with the specific object with respect to the object. For example, if a user writes and uploads a testimonial of a car that has an experience relationship, the uploaded testimonial is the content, registered in association with the object account of the car object and the user account of the user who created the testimonial, or It can be registered in direct association with the association between the user who wrote the testimonial and the car object.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a network diagram of a system for managing a relationship between a person and an object according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a configuration of a relationship management apparatus included in a system for managing a relationship between a person and an object according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a concept of explaining a relationship between an individual and an object, according to an exemplary embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system for managing a relationship between an individual and an object according to the present invention includes a relationship management apparatus 200 that is communicatively connected through a plurality of user terminals 100 and a network N.

First, the network N may be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a personal local area network (PAN), or mobile. It can be implemented as all kinds of wired and wireless networks such as mobile radio communication network or satellite communication network.

In addition, the user terminal 100 may be implemented as a computer, a portable terminal, or a television that may be connected to a server at a remote location through the network N or may be connected to other terminals and server systems. Here, the computer includes, for example, a laptop, desktop, laptop, etc., which is equipped with a web browser, and the portable terminal is, for example, a wireless communication device that ensures portability and mobility. , Personal Communication System (PCS), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Personal Handyphone System (PHS), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) -2000, Code CDMA Division Multiple Access (2000), including all kinds of handheld based wireless communication devices such as W-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Wireless Broadband Internet (WBRO) terminals, smart phones, etc. can do. In addition, the television may include an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), an Internet Television (Internet Television), a terrestrial TV, a cable TV, or the like.

In this case, the user terminal 100 may be equipped with a web browser or a separate application for exchanging data with the relationship management apparatus 200 to be described later. In addition, the user terminal 100 includes a data output means for the user and an input means for receiving data from the user, but since these are conventional configurations, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 is a service provider for providing an online service by communicating with a plurality of user terminals 100 through a network N, and may be implemented as a server system including one or more information processing apparatuses.

The relationship management apparatus 200 establishes an association relationship by associating a user account with an object account, and separately manages relationship information corresponding thereto, thereby providing various services using a defined relationship between the user and the object.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the above-described relationship management apparatus 200 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a user manager 201. The user manager 201 generates the above-described user account and manages user information for each user account.

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include an object manager 202. The object manager 202 may generate the above-described object account and manage object information corresponding to each object account. In addition, when update of the object information is required, the object information may be updated.

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a relationship setting unit 203. The relationship setting unit 203 may establish an association relationship by associating a user account with an object account and store relationship information corresponding to the association relationship. Here, the relationship and relationship information are as defined above.

The relationship setting unit 203 may set an association relationship between the user account and the object account at the request of the user terminal 100. For example, when a request for setting an 'interest relationship' with the first object account is received from the user terminal 100 through the first user account, the relationship setting unit 203 may be configured between the first user account and the first object account. An experience relationship may be set, and relationship information including identification information of the first user account, identification information of the first object account, and identification information of the interest relationship may be generated and stored.

In addition, even if the association setting request from the user terminal 100 is not received, the relation setting unit 203 may set an association between the object account and the user account when a specific operation is detected online.

The relationship setting unit 203 completes the purchase process for the first object that is the online transaction target while the user terminal 100 connects to the relationship management apparatus 200 and authenticates with the first user account to form a session. If an activity such as streaming or downloading a first object as content is detected, an experience relationship may be established between the first object account and the first user account.

Alternatively, the relationship setting unit 203 detects that a purchase procedure for the first object or an act of streaming or downloading the first object occurs in the third service provided by the third party server, and thus the first object account and the first object account. You can also establish associations between user accounts. At this time, in order to detect the purchase procedure, download, etc. for the object in the third service, the operator of the relationship management device 200 may provide in advance the identification information of each object account to the third party server, When a purchase or a download occurs, the identification information and the user account identification information of the object account corresponding to the consumed object are returned, and an experience relationship may be established using the same.

That is, for example, as an embodiment of the present invention, the relationship management apparatus 200 may provide an API to a third party server to perform a process of establishing an association. For example, in a shopping server, when information about a user account to be associated and information about an object account are transmitted to the relationship management device 200 according to the present invention through an API, the relationship management device 200 transmits the user account. An association between them can be created based on information about and object account information. With this function, when a user purchases any object, the shopping service can easily make an association by simply executing an API on a purchase button or an action associated with the object.

Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to establish a more reliable experience relationship, the relationship management device 200 receives the user terminal 100 from the user terminal 100 to verify whether or not the user actually owns the object for which the experience relationship is to be established. Information to prove ownership relations such as serial number and authentication number of an object, or information to prove whether or not to purchase such as online or offline order number or purchase number may be received. Alternatively, the image code displayed on the object can be read and verified for real ownership.

Meanwhile, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a content management unit 204. The content manager 204 may register content for a specific object from the user terminal 100 through a specific user account. In addition, the content manager 204 may store the registered content in association with the user account that registered the content and the related object account, or store the registered content in association with the association between the user account that registered the content and the related object account. have.

For example, when the content for the first object is newly registered through the first user account, the content manager 204 may store the content in association with the first user account and the first object account, or the first It may be stored in association with the association between the user account and the first object account.

Here, the content management unit 204 may limit the range of users who can register content with respect to a specific object. For example, the content management unit 204 may register content with respect to the object only through a user account in which an association with the specific object is established. In addition, it is possible to register the content for the object only through the user account in which the above-described experience relationship is set among the relations with the specific object.

Here, the content may include, for example, a testimonial on a specific object, and may include text, an image, video data, and the like. Alternatively, the content may include event information about a specific object. For example, a provider of a particular object may directly create event information for the object and register it as content.

Further, the content may be, for example, a log of a user's daily life related to a specific object. For example, a user named A could write a comment about his own 'Granger' object, "It's 24km fuel economy this month." You can also create a log by uploading a photo of your own 'Granger'.

Here, the relationship management apparatus 200 may induce the act of leaving a log by paying a point, a virtual rank, or the like as a reward for the act of leaving a log in an object account with which the association is associated, and thus, many users may use the present invention. While using the relationship management apparatus 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to check and utilize reliable and abundant information about an object.

Meanwhile, the contents managed by the content manager 204 as described above may be the search target of the content search unit 205. When the content retrieval unit 205 receives a search request from the user terminal 100 for a specific object account, the content retrieval unit 205 is stored in association with a specific object account or content stored in association with the associations set for the specific object account requested for retrieval. The content may be searched and provided to the user terminal 100 requesting the search.

In addition, when the content search unit 205 receives a search request of the user terminal 100 for a specific user account, the content search unit 205 associates with the stored content or a specific user account in association with associations set for the specific user account requested for search. The stored content may be searched and provided to the user terminal 100 requesting the search.

Furthermore, when the relational relationship is established between any user account and the object account and the relationship information is generated, the content retrieval unit 205 may also use the generated relationship information as a content to be searched. For example, when a search request is received for the first user account, the user can search for and respond to the relationship information for each of the associations set for the first user account. Alternatively, when a search request is received for the first object account, the mobile terminal may search for and respond to relationship information about each of the association relationships set for the first object account.

Meanwhile, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a relationship distribution unit 206. The relationship distributing unit 206 may distribute relationship information corresponding to the set association relationship when an association relationship between any user account and any object account is set. The distribution of the relationship information may be performed through an object page to be described later or a user page to be described later. It can also be deployed as a third party service through third party servers.

For example, the relationship distribution unit 206 is a new association and at the same time, the relationship information corresponding to the newly created association relationship, the user page corresponding to the user account with the association is established, the third service, email Can be distributed via short messages. As a result, the user corresponding to the user account can be widely informed about the newly associated object, which can be a strong incentive to utilize the apparatus 200 for managing the relationship between the individual and the object according to the present invention.

For example, in a third service such as a shopping service, the relationship information can be retrieved and distributed. The relationship distributing unit 206, for example, uses information about an arbitrary object as an input value, and extracts a user account associated with an object account corresponding to an object corresponding to the input value, and then displays it. Can be provided. Thus, in a shopping service that sells a product called X, when a relation search API is called from a page selling a product called X, the sales page may display user account information that already owns the product called X. Furthermore, by displaying content such as logs and testimonials generated from user accounts, users who want to purchase the product X can see who has already purchased the product or what is in their logs and testimonials. To guide you in making a purchase decision. In another implementation, among user accounts associated with an object account, a user account corresponding to a specific social relationship (for example, a friend relationship) or a relationship within a certain distance (for example, a friend relationship of a friend) from them. The reliability of the information can be maximized by displaying only information such as logs and user reviews generated through the user account.

In addition, the relationship distribution unit 206 registers the content using the newly generated relationship information to the content management unit 204, so that the relationship information is also an independent content, the content distribution unit 207 to be described later or the content feed unit 208 to be described later. Can be distributed by Of course, the above-described content searching unit 205 may be a search target.

Furthermore, the relationship distribution unit 206 is a user terminal 100 of a user who browses the registered information associated with the object information of any object account or any object account or associated with an association set in the object object. The relationship information may be distributed by providing the relationship information together.

And the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a content distribution unit 207. The content distribution unit 207 may distribute the content based on the relation between the specific user account and the specific object account. For example, when the first user newly registers content for the first object, the content distribution unit 207 registers the content with at least one of a user page corresponding to the first user account and an object page corresponding to the first object account. You can distribute to one.

For example, if a first user uploads a testimonial about a first object or records a log, the content can be arranged on the object page of the first object account, and the user page corresponding to the first user account can Can be arranged.

The user page may be generated for each user account, and may be created by arranging contents registered through the corresponding user account in time series.

In addition, the object page may be generated for each object account, and may be created by arranging contents registered in association with the association set for the object account or the object account in time series or in order of popularity.

That is, the content distribution unit 207 may distribute content registered by a specific user with respect to a specific object through a user page or an object page.

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a content feed unit 208. The content feed unit 208 is a user account with which an association is established with a specific object account, and may provide new content generated for the specific object account. In particular, the content feeder 208 may provide at least some of contents newly registered for a specific object account to user accounts established with a particular object account.

For example, if a new association is established from another user account for an object account, in particular, a new association is established for an object account from a friend user account in a specific social network (for example, a friend relationship) among other user accounts. If a new modification or addition is made to the contents including the relationship information on the newly established association, or if a new modification or addition is made to the object information included in the object account, the newly updated object information or the association is set in association with the association established in the object account. New content can be supplied to the user account that is interested in the object account. For example, the content feed unit 208 may receive such content or object information through a predetermined method (including all kinds of data transmission methods such as RSS feeds, emails, and text messages).

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a relationship analysis unit 209. The relationship analysis unit 209 calculates at least one of the number of associations set by the specific object account or the number of associations, the increase rate of the associations, and the increase / decrease trend of the associations to be displayed on the object page described above. can do. The number of associations established for a particular object is meaningful as information representing the statistics of users who will or will experience the object.

In addition, the relationship analysis unit 209 may receive the satisfaction level of the object from each user account having an association with the specific object account, and calculate the statistics of the satisfaction level for the object based on this, and provide the same to the users. For example, the relationship analysis unit 209 receives the satisfaction from user accounts having an experience relationship with the object account, processes it, and provides statistics, thereby providing reliable statistics created by users who have actually experienced the object. You can provide it to other users.

In addition, the relationship management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an object recommender 210. The object recommender 210 extracts object account identification information included in the relationship information of each association set for the user account, from a plurality of associations set for the corresponding user account, in relation to a specific user account. Based on this, we can extract new objects to recommend to the user account. And by providing the object information of the extracted new object back to the user account, it is possible to recommend a new object to the user.

Alternatively, the object recommendation unit 210 extracts object account identification information included in relationship information of each of a plurality of association relationships set for another user account in a specific relationship (for example, a friend relationship) with the user account, and is extracted. An object corresponding to the object account identification information having a high extraction frequency among the object account identification information may be recommended as a user account.

Furthermore, the object recommendation unit 210 may recommend another object based on an association relationship with another user account set with respect to another user account with which an association is set with respect to the same object account with any user account.

In addition, in the relationship management method according to the embodiment of the present invention using the relationship management system including the relationship management device 200 described above, the relationship management device 200 receives user information of the first user and receives the first user's information. Creating a first user account and receiving object information of the first object and generating a first object account of the first object.
