In the present specification, a terminal is a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), a subscriber station (SS), a portable subscriber station (PSS), a user device (User) Equipment, UE, access terminal (AT), or the like, or may include all or part of functions such as a mobile terminal, a subscriber station, a mobile subscriber station, and a user device.

Hereinafter, a data providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a data providing method using the same, and a first-come-first-served sharing method will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is an exemplary view of an environment to which a data providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a user who has a terminal that shares data (hereinafter referred to as a “shared terminal” for convenience of description) 400-1 has an app installed on the shared terminal 400-1 (drawings) Signal notifying the first-come-first-served sharing of data to the data providing system 100 by using (not shown). At this time, the user can share only some of the basic data usage amount provided by the communication service fee to which the user subscribes, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The data providing system 100 generates a virtual data sharing space corresponding to the amount of shared data according to the signal transmitted from the sharing terminal 400-1. Then, other terminals receiving data on a first-come, first-served basis generate location information to access the virtual data sharing space and notify the sharing terminal 400-1. In the embodiment of the present invention, the location information is described as an example of a URL, but it is not necessarily limited to this.

At this time, the location information generated by the data providing system 100 is mapped one-to-one to the virtual data sharing space. And the data providing system 100 is the number of terminals (hereinafter referred to as'receiving terminal' for convenience of description) (400-2 to 400-4) of the number of data specified in the shared terminal 400-1. To be shared on a first-come, first-served basis, a virtual data sharing space is created with multiple tickets. Here, the plurality of tickets includes information on the amount of data that can be downloaded by the receiving terminal, which will be described later in detail.

In an embodiment of the present invention, among the various sharing means, one's own blog or various messenger applications generated by a user of the sharing terminal 400-1 through the web server 300 (eg, KakaoTalk, Facebook, Line, SMS, etc.) will be described as an example of notifying that data is shared on a first-come, first-served basis, but it is not necessarily limited to this. For example, while instructing that the user of the sharing terminal 400-1 is sharing data on his/her first-come-first-served basis, the URL is initiated so that as many terminals as the number of data sharing generated by the data providing system 100 access. do.

At least one receiving terminal (400-2 to 400-4) receiving the data is shared in a first-come, first-served basis to the URL disclosed in the blog or to each receiving terminal (400-2 to 400-4) using personal SNS. By clicking, the amount of data shared by the sharing terminal 400-1 can be downloaded from the virtual data sharing space formed in the data providing system 100 and used as its own data.

The web server 300 displays location information transmitted from the sharing terminal 400-1 so that the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 can check.

The charging server 200 processes billing for the sharing terminal 400-1 and the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 based on the data sharing result received from the data providing system 100. That is, in the case of the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4, even if the reference data amount provided by the communication plan subscribed by each receiving terminal 400-2 to 400-4 is exhausted, the data providing system ( 100) Even if additional data is used as much as the amount of data shared, additional charges should not be processed.

In the above environment, the structures of the data providing system 100 that provides data to a plurality of specific or unspecified users in a first-come-first-served basis and the terminal 400 that shares or receives data in a first-come-first-served basis will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. do.

2 is a structural diagram of a data providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the data providing system 100 includes an interface module 110, a data management module 120, a data sharing location creation module 130, a virtual data sharing space creation module 140, and subscriber information It includes a storage module 150.

The interface module 110 works with a plurality of terminals 400-1 to 400-4 and the charging server 200. The interface module 110 receives a first-come-first-served sharing notification message transmitted from the sharing terminal 400-1. The first-come-first-served basis sharing notification message includes information on the total amount of shared data selected by the user of the sharing terminal 400-1. In addition, the first-come-first-served sharing notification message additionally includes the number of recipients to share data in first-come-first-served basis, the amount of data to be shared by each receiving terminal 400-2 to 400-4, and basic information about the shared terminal 400-1. It can contain.

In addition, the interface module 110 provides data sharing results to the sharing terminal 400-1. In other words, when some of the data shared by the shared terminal 400-1 expires, or when the validity period expires, the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 receiving the shared data receive data at some point. It provides information indicating whether it has been received, which terminals have been received, and so on.

In addition, the interface module 110 transfers the data sharing result to the charging server 200 to charge the sharing terminal 400-1 that shared the data or the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 that shared the data. Use it as additional information when processing. In addition, the interface module 110 transmits location information to the sharing terminal 400-1, so that the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 access the virtual data sharing space through the location information on a first-come, first-served basis and download data. Make it possible to receive.

The data management module 120 determines whether the sharing terminal 400-1 can share data based on the first-come-first-served sharing notification message received by the interface module 110. That is, the data management module 120 based on the subscriber information stored in the subscriber information storage module 150, the total amount of shared data set by the user of the shared terminal 400-1 is subscribed to by the corresponding shared terminal 400-1. It is checked whether it is less than the amount of basic data provided through the communication plan, or less than the amount of data currently remaining in the shared terminal 400-1.

If the total shared data amount set by the user is less than the basic data amount and the remaining data amount of the corresponding sharing terminal 400-1, the data management module 120 uses the data sharing location creation module 130 to access the virtual data sharing space. Request to generate location information to connect. Then, the data sharing space creation module 140 requests creation of a virtual data sharing space corresponding to the amount of data to be shared.

Then, the data management module 120 checks whether the user of the sharing terminal 400-1 is a subscriber subscribed to the first-come-first-served sharing service based on the communication service subscription information of users stored in the subscriber information storage module 150. If the user has not subscribed to the first-come-first-served basis sharing service, the service subscription is requested through the interface module 110.

When the data sharing location generation module 130 confirms in the data management module 120 that the total amount of shared data set by the user is less than the basic data amount and the remaining data amount of the corresponding sharing terminal 400-1, the data sharing location generation module Create location information of the virtual data sharing space. At this time, the location information together with the location information to enable access to the virtual data sharing space, and the number of receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 set by the user may download data from each other even if they access through the same location information. Includes ID information for each ticket created in 100MByte unit.

That is, if the user of the sharing terminal 400-1 requests to share 500 MByte of data to each of 5 users 100 Mbyte each, even if they are connected to the virtual data sharing space based on one location information, each ticket is based on 5 ticket IDs. It should be able to download as much as the data amount described in. Then, when each of the five users accesses the virtual data sharing space through the location information using their own terminal, 100MByte data is downloaded with different ticket IDs. Here, the method for generating the ticket by the data sharing location generating module 130 or the form of the ticket is not limited to any one.

The data sharing location generation module 130 determines when a ticket for each data is generated, and transmits the identified time point to the data management module 120 to determine whether an expiration date for a ticket of undownloaded data has expired. . In the embodiment of the present invention, the data sharing location generation module 130 generates the location information, and then, as an example, an expiration date is set until 23:59:59 the next day, but it is not necessarily limited to this.

The data sharing space creation module 140 generates a virtual data sharing space corresponding to the data sharing amount at the request of the data management module 120. Here, the generated virtual data sharing space and location information are mapped one-to-one, and the data sharing location creation module 130 generates location information or the data sharing space creation module 140 generates virtual data sharing space. However, since the shape of the virtual data sharing space can be generated in various ways, it is not limited to any one.

The data sharing space creation module 140 identifies information of the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 connected in a first-come, first-served basis when the receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 access the virtual data sharing space by riding a URL. To collect. This is to prevent the same terminal from repeatedly receiving data through the same location information.

The data sharing space generation module 140 checks whether the connected receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 are terminals that have joined the data first-come-first-served sharing service or terminals that have subscribed to the LTE plan that can receive data. . This is because, in the case of a terminal subscribed to a 3G plan, data is not shared.

The data sharing space generation module 140 provides the amount of data determined by the sharing terminal 400-1 if the connected receiving terminals 400-2 to 400-4 are terminals capable of sharing data. Then, the tickets generated by the data sharing location generation module 130 are deleted one by one.

The subscriber information storage module 150 stores and manages information of all subscribers subscribed to the communication service. Here, the communication service includes a first-come, first-served basis sharing service, etc., and includes identification information, user information, and plan information of a terminal subscribed to each service.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the terminal 400 includes an interface 410, a processor 420, a display 430, and a memory 440.

The interface 410 of the terminal 400 works with the data providing system 100 to transmit a data first-come-first-served sharing notification to the data providing system 100. Then, the data transmitted from the data processing server 100 is received, or the virtual data sharing space generated in the data providing system 100 is accessed using the location information disclosed in the web server 300.

The display 430 allows the user to control the total amount of data to be shared, the number of recipients, and the amount of data to be provided to each recipient so that the user can share data to other terminals 400 through the data first-come-first-served sharing service. Provides an application screen. In addition, the display 430 receives information on the unshared data from the data providing system 100 or the completion of sharing of the shared data through the interface 410 and displays the screen so that unshared data can be recovered. Gives

In addition, if the terminal 400 receives data, the display 430 displays whether or not the data is first-come-first-served sharing service. In addition, if the service is not subscribed, a screen for inducing service subscription is displayed, and when the service is subscribed, a screen for whether data can be downloaded according to a first-come, first-served basis is displayed.

The memory 440 stores software required to drive the terminal 400 in the processor 420. The processor 420 processes the functions of the terminal 400 such as sharing data on a first-come, first-served basis through the terminal 400 or downloading the shared data to provide a communication service.

A method of providing data in the environment described above will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a flowchart of a data providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, a user first sharing order signal is input to notify a plurality of unspecified users to share some data through an application installed in their terminal (S100 ). Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data first-come-first-served sharing indication signal includes identification information of the sharing terminal 400-1, total amount of data to be shared, number of recipients, amount of data to be shared with each recipient, and messenger information to notify sharing of data on a first-come-first-served basis. Although the description includes an example, only the total amount of data to be shared can be included. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the same amount of data is shared with each recipient, for example, but different amounts of data may be shared with each recipient.

When receiving the data first-come-first-served sharing indication signal, the data providing system 100 checks the total amount of shared data included in the signal (S101). Then, based on the identification information of the shared terminal 400-1, the shared terminal 400-1 checks the subscription plan and checks whether the total amount of shared data is less than the basic data amount (S102). If the total amount of shared data is greater than the amount of basic provision data, a message for not sharing data is transmitted to the shared terminal 400-1 (S103).

However, if the total amount of shared data is less than the basic amount of data provided, the data providing system 100 checks whether the total amount of shared data is less than the amount of residual data currently remaining in the shared terminal 400-1 (S104). If the total amount of shared data is greater than the remaining amount of data, a data sharing impossible message is transmitted to the sharing terminal 400-1 (S105).

However, if the total amount of shared data is less than the remaining data amount, the data providing system 100 creates a virtual data sharing space corresponding to the shared data amount. Then, location information is generated so that the receiving terminals can access the virtual data sharing space (S106).

That is, it is assumed that the total amount of shared data is 500MByte, the number of recipients is 5, and each recipient receives data shared by 100MByte. Then, the data providing system 100 generates 5 tickets in 100 MByte units, and the generated 5 tickets form one virtual data sharing space. Here, a method of generating a ticket, a type of the generated ticket, a method of granting a ticket ID, or a method of allowing a plurality of tickets to form a single virtual data sharing space can be executed in various ways. It is not limited to.

The data providing system 100 provides the location information generated in step S106 to the shared terminal 400-1 (S107). In addition, the user of the shared terminal 400-1 provides location information received in step S107 so that a plurality of receiving terminals 400-2 and 400-3 can check through the web server 300 (S108).

Users of each of the plurality of receiving terminals 400-2 and 400-3 confirm that the sharing terminal 400-1 shares data on a first-come, first-served basis through a messenger application provided by the web server 300. Then, the users connect to the web server 300 using their own receiving terminals 400-2 and 400-3, respectively (S109, S110), and linked to a messenger application such as a blog, Kakao Talk, Line, Facebook, etc. The URL, which is the location information, is selected to access the virtual data sharing space of the data providing system 100 (S111). In step S111, when the receiving terminals 400-2 and 400-3 access the virtual data sharing space, identification information of each receiving terminal 400-2 and 400-3 is provided.

The data providing system 100 checks whether the corresponding terminals can download data based on identification information or access order of the receiving terminals 400-2 and 400-3 collected in step S111 (S112). For example, if the first receiving terminal 400-2 is a terminal that has not subscribed to the first-come-first-served basis sharing service, the data providing system 100 notifies the first receiving terminal 400-2 of data download permission and subscribes to the service. Request (S114).

If the first receiving terminal 400-2 is a terminal that subscribes to the service, even if it is not included in the number of recipients, or if there is no ticket in the virtual data sharing space, the data providing system 100 is the first receiving terminal ( 400-2). On the other hand, if the second recipient terminal 400-3 is included in the number of recipients and subscribed to the service, the data providing system 100 provides data stored in the virtual data sharing space (S112). When the second receiving terminal 400-2 downloads the data, the data providing system 100 deletes the ticket for the data provided to the second receiving terminal 400-2 (S115), and the data given to the corresponding ticket To prevent other terminals from downloading.

If some of the data shared by the data providing system 100 through the above procedure has not downloaded any receiving terminal, the procedure for recovering it will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

5 is a flowchart of a data recovery procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, the data providing system 100 checks whether unshared data exists (S200). That is, it is checked whether there is an undelete ticket among the tickets in the virtual data sharing space.

If there is a ticket that has not been deleted, the data providing system 100 checks when the ticket is generated and the current time, and checks whether the validity period has expired (S201). If the validity period has not expired, the procedure after step S200 is repeated. However, if it is confirmed that the validity period has expired, the sharing terminal 400-1 notifies that there is unshared data (S202).

When the user of the sharing terminal 400-1 determines the number of data recovery using the application screen displayed on the terminal (S203), the sharing terminal 400-1 informs the data providing system 100 of the data recovery (S204). ). The data providing system 100 accumulates the remaining amount of data remaining in the sharing terminal 400-1 as much as the recovered data amount (S205 ).

Next, a procedure in which the receiving terminal 400-2 uses the data first-come-first-served sharing service will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is a flowchart of a method of using shared data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, data first-come-first-served sharing articles including URLs generated by the data providing system 100 are posted so that a plurality of unspecified users can confirm through a messenger selected by a user of the sharing terminal 400-1. do. When a user of the first receiving terminal 400-2 among the unspecified plurality of users checks the corresponding post (S300), the user selects a message using the first receiving terminal 400-2 and attempts to access (S301). ).

The first receiving terminal 400-2 accesses the virtual data sharing space generated in the data providing system 100 through an access attempt (S302 ). At this time, the virtual data sharing space corresponds to the location information one-to-one and refers to a space generated by the data providing system 100 to correspond to the data sharing amount. When the first receiving terminal 400-2 accesses the virtual data sharing space in step S302, the terminal identification information for the first receiving terminal 400-2 is transmitted to the data providing system 100.

Based on the terminal identification information of the first receiving terminal 400-2 accessing the virtual data sharing space in step S302, the data providing system 100 checks whether the corresponding terminal is a terminal subscribed to the data sharing service (S303). ). If the terminal is not subscribed to the service, the data providing system 100 guides subscription to the data sharing service to the first receiving terminal 400-2 (S304).

As a result of checking in step S303, if the first receiving terminal 400-2 subscribes to the data sharing service, the data providing system 100 checks whether at least one ticket generated corresponding to the corresponding location information remains (S305). If all the generated tickets have been deleted, it is determined that other users have already downloaded the shared data on a first-come-first-served basis, and transmits a data download-unable message to the first receiving terminal 400-2 (S306).

On the other hand, if the ticket remains, the first receiving terminal 400-2 downloads the shared data (S307). Then, when the data download is completed, the first receiving terminal 400-2 notifies the data providing system 100 of the completion of the data download (S308).

When the first receiving terminal 400-2 downloads data, the data providing system 100 deletes the ticket (S309). Here, in the embodiment of the present invention will be described as an example of deleting the tickets one by one in the download order. However, when the data providing system 100 generates a ticket ID by inserting it into the location information, and when any receiving terminal accesses the location information and downloads the data, the ticket of the ticket ID inserted into the location information may be deleted. .

The first receiving terminal 400-2 moves the downloaded data to my data box using an application and uses the data when using a communication service (S310). The data providing system 100 first subtracts the amount of data used by the first receiving terminal 400-2 from the amount of shared data rather than the basic amount of data provided by the plan to which the first receiving terminal 400-2 subscribes ( S311).

Then, the data providing system 100 checks the validity period of the shared data downloaded by each receiving terminal according to a preset period, and checks whether the validity period has expired (S312). If the validity period has not expired, the data usage used by the first receiving terminal 400-2 is subtracted from the shared data amount as in step S311. However, if the validity period has expired, the amount of used data is subtracted from the amount of basic data corresponding to the plan to which the first receiving terminal 400-2 subscribes (S313). If the basic data amount is exhausted, charging is performed according to the additional data amount.

An example of the data first-come-first-served sharing service described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10.

7 is an exemplary diagram of a process of sharing data on a first-come-first-served basis according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram of a process of receiving data on a first-come-first-served basis according to an embodiment of the present invention. 9 is an exemplary diagram for recovering first-come-first-served shared data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is an exemplary diagram for accumulating and using first-come-first-served shared data according to an embodiment of the present invention. And Figure 11 is an exemplary view showing the form of a message provided to the user in various situations according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7, the user of the terminal 400 is a virtual data sharing space (Y data box) in which data received by sharing data or event participation is stored through an application displayed through the terminal. ) And the terminal 400 can check the basic data amount (my data) provided by the subscription plan. When the basic data amount screen is dragged down, a screen for presenting data or sharing data on a first-come, first-served basis is displayed as shown in FIG. 7B.

Among the display screens shown in FIG. 7B, "Daytuck divided by URL" is a part capable of providing a first-come, first-served basis sharing service. At this time, the total amount of data that can be used by the current user and the amount of data that can be shared are provided together.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the amount of data to be shared on a first-come, first-served basis is selected through a URL. At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the expiration period is set so that up to 1,000 MByte can be shared once, and the shared data can be downloaded by an unspecified number of people 24 hours before the next day based on the time when the data was shared.

As shown in (d) of FIG. 7, the user selects to share 1,000 MBytes of data on a first-come, first-served basis and enters a password for user authentication. Then, as illustrated in (e) of FIG. 7, it is indicated that 10 users on a first-come-first-served basis can download data in a first-come-first-served basis before the expiration period of 100 MByte each. At the same time, it allows the user to choose which messenger to notify via a first-come, first-served basis.

As described above with reference to FIG. 7, when a certain user notifies that a user shares his data on a first-come, first-served basis, a recipient who receives the shared data as shown in (a) of FIG. Through this, a message indicating that the sharer shares data on a first-come, first-served basis is received. In the embodiment of the present invention, an example in which a notification message is provided by a messenger will be described as an example, but the sharer may notify the first-come-first-served basis of sharing on his blog or cafe.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 8, when a recipient who wants to receive data in a first-come-first-served basis clicks the data receiving button, a message informing that the data sharing receiving is successful as shown in FIG. Is provided. However, if it does not correspond to the first-come-first-served basis or does not subscribe to the data-first-come-first-served basis, as shown in (d) of FIG. 8, a screen is provided informing that data reception has failed.

On the other hand, if the sharer shares 1,000MByte of his data on a first-come, first-served basis, and after the expiration date of the share expires, when the detailed data sharing list is checked as shown in FIG. 9(a), some data remains unshared You can confirm that there is. When the sharer determines the number of unshared data, it is indicated that there is unshared data in the form of a mini box at the top of the Y data box, which is a virtual data storage space, as shown in FIG. 9B.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9(c), a recovery button is provided to recover 200 MByte of unshared data among 1,000 MBytes shared on a first-come, first-served basis to a virtual data storage space.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, a recipient who has received the data on a first-come, first-served basis can confirm that the data he or she has shared is accumulated and stored in a virtual data storage space. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an example in which data can be accumulated in a virtual data storage space up to 2,000 MByte per month through data sharing is described as an example, but is not necessarily limited to this.

And, in order to use the data accumulated in the virtual data storage space, it can be used by moving to the basic data provision amount. At this time, the shared data can be taken out and used in units of 100 MByte to 1,000 MByte per time, and it is explained as an example that it can be taken out and used up to 30 times per month.

Here, the data providing system 100 may restrict a recipient who has received data shared by other users from sharing the shared data with other users, not the amount of basic data provided to them.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the data providing system 100 may provide a message to a user through a terminal in various situations.

First, FIG. 11(a) is an exemplary view of a message informing a user of the sharing terminal 400-1 that all data shared by the user of the sharing terminal 400-1 is exhausted before the valid period. At this time, when the user clicks the "View Details" button, it is possible to check which users have shared the data they have shared.

And (b) of FIG. 11 is an exemplary diagram for a message indicating that no further data sharing is received when the data that can be shared is already set in the recipient terminal. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is described as an example that the total amount of data shared by all terminals from other terminals is 2,000 Mbytes, but it is not necessarily limited to this. At this time, when the user clicks the "View details" button, it is possible to check from which data sharers they have shared data.

In addition, FIG. 11(c) is an exemplary view showing a guide message for a case where the same line attempts to receive data sharing at the same URL. In an embodiment of the present invention, it is configured to prevent one receiving terminal from repeatedly receiving data sharing through the same URL.

And FIG. 11(d) is an exemplary view showing a screen in which the sharers who share data on a first-come, first-served basis confirm the receipt/non-receipt in the data progress. As shown in FIG. 11(d), the user can confirm that only 100 Mbytes of the total data 300 Mbytes shared by the first-come-first-served basis are shared by other users, and 200 Mbytes remain. At this time, the screen may be provided to the user as a push (PUSH) notification message as shown in (e) of FIG.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements of those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims are also provided. It belongs to the scope of rights.
