Description

Card Browser, which reconfigures the user interface and screen menus via email

The present invention is a new format of e-mail, which is combined with an active browser that can be modified and modified more conveniently by reconfiguring the screen menu configuration of Internet Explorer, a web browser, according to user requirements, and is transmitted as a medium called a browser. It relates to a card browser that can reconfigure the user interface and screen menus via e-mail to send a card message.

In general, a computer that provides various forms of data such as text, pictures, moving images, and sounds on the Internet through a program called Web Browse such as Netscape, Mosaic, and Explorer is called a web server. The current web browser is very difficult for beginners to use properly despite its excellent functionality with a uniform user interface and complex screen menu configuration.

On the other hand, in the case of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which is provided with an extended tag such as an AVI (Audio Visual Interleave) player and a unique table function, a newly reconfigured program module is created. The Component Object Model (COM) is supported so that it can be reused, and the programs supporting COM can be operated by sharing data and code with each other according to a certain convention.

Therefore, users navigating the Internet world reorganize the user interface and screen menu to make the screen easier and more interesting for the user's characteristics by escaping the existing web browser composed of the uniform user interface and complex screen menu configuration. There is a need for a web browser that can do this.

Meanwhile, e-mails (E-mails) that are transmitted and received through a mail server are simply messages that are transmitted in the form of text or hypertext, and thus have been received. Could only be seen through a single E-card.

In other words, in the case of the existing e-card, a link-type e-mail was sent to the user to induce access to the site. As a result, the e-card simply sends a message or is sent to the background. There was a limitation that only the level of service could be provided.

Accordingly, the present invention is invented to overcome the limitations of the existing electronic card and to send a card of a variety of formats by passing the media of the browser together, and to configure the screen menu of Internet Explorer, a web browser, as a new format of electronic mail. By combining with an active browser that can be reconfigured and modified more conveniently according to the user's requirements, it can be sent like a browser media to send card messages in a variety of formats. It is an object of the present invention to provide a card browser that can reconfigure the user interface and screen menus through electronic mail having technical differentiation and ease of use.

A card browser capable of reconfiguring the user interface and screen menu through the e-mail of the present invention for achieving the above object, the sender is connected to the service of the web server, the mail content to the attachment server (ASP: Active Server Page) The contents of the input mail are composed of data to be delivered to the receiver by the information separator application program interface module (ISAPI module), and the message is merged with the active browser mail engine. It is transmitted to the recipient as an active mail through the server, and when the recipient executes the active mail, the web browser can be used as an active browser in which the appearance and function of the web browser are reconfigured according to the characteristics of the user.

When the web server is operated while connected to the browser card site, the user interface and the user text form are output, the input screen message and the selected moving image are output, the program file and the user log are generated, and the active mail is sent to the mail server. It is characterized by.

When the mail server installs a mail engine program necessary for driving an active browser through the received e-mail, the screen output is reproduced and a message is output while the card browser is executed. When the text form and a moving picture are selected, the message is displayed. It is characterized in that the e-mail is made to be sent as is generated.

The active browser checks the necessary data as the active mail including information on the card browser and the server address and mail contents is executed, and checks the card active browser and downloads the necessary data if there is no data, and the mail engine program is installed. It is characterized in that the card active browser is configured to be driven.

Hereinafter, by integrating an active browser into an existing electronic card service to send a variety of forms of electronic cards by delivering a medium called a browser according to the present invention, a card that can reconfigure a user interface and screen menu through electronic mail. The implementation principle of the browser will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

Figure 1 illustrates a schematic concept of the implementation of the card browser of the present invention, Figure 2 illustrates the operational flow of the active mail received via the e-mail in accordance with the present invention to drive the card active browser.

As shown in the figure, a sender connects to a service of a web server to create mail contents using an attachment assist processor (ASP), and the input mail contents are an information separator application program interface module (ISAPI module). It is composed of data to be delivered to the recipient and merges the message with the active browser mail engine, and the generated data is sent to the recipient as an active mail as an attachment through the mail server. The appearance and function of the web browser is made available to the reconfigured active browser.

In other words, when the active browser is delivered to the recipient and executed, the contents of the sender are displayed in the web browser area, and the recipient can check the contents of the mail delivered through the active browser. Make it convenient to use as a browser.

The card browser which runs the active mail received through such an e-mail and drives the card active browser, as shown in FIG. 2, provides the necessary data while the active mail including information on the card browser and the server address and mail contents is executed. If there is no data by checking and checking the card active browser, the necessary data is downloaded and the mail engine program is installed to configure the information and the card active browser is driven.

In other words, it checks the necessary information by referring to the Active Browser Data Directory and the Windows Registry, and configures the mail content along with information about the server address and card browser through a script. If the user downloads the engine file from the server configured with the server's address and information and installs it in the active browser directory of the user's computer, the active browser is executed. It displays the moving screen (Animation) and guide information to the user, and the active mail ends after the active browser is started.

On the other hand, five different modules are required for the card bra service, which is written in Microsoft's Attachment Protection Processor (ASP) as a hypertext web page that allows the sender to enter desired mail contents. ASP web page, ASP mpdule which is a routine that creates user input contents and card browser related data and sends it to the mail server, and a server that can send and receive files using e-mail from the Internet. It consists of a mail server in charge of sending mail.

In addition, it includes an active browser mail engine, which is a program that is actually delivered to the mail receiver and manages card browser data, and a card browser, which is an active browser serving as a viewer of the mail.

In addition, the card active browser and the active browser mail engine, which are actual mail viewers, are separately configured and managed, thereby preventing duplicate card active browsers having a relatively large file size compared to the mail engine and being transmitted to the recipients. The card active browser program can be managed efficiently and the language used is Visual C ++ and INET Software Development Kit (SDK), a library for Internet development.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation concept of receiving and sending a card browser according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a concept of a mail browser in a content creation in which a card browser of the present invention is connected to a mail server. Figure 5 illustrates the concept of an active browser transmitted via email in accordance with the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the program is installed in a set of active browser directories through e-mail received through a mail server, a card browser for driving the active browser is executed while the window registry is set, and a message in HTML format is displayed. .

In addition, when the user accesses the browser card site while the active browser, which is a web browser, is executed, an e-mail may be sent while generating a message about a selected letter form and a video box.

In addition, when the user accesses a browser site running a web server, a user interface and a user text form are output, and an input screen message and a selected moving picture are output. The user's log is then generated and the active mail is sent to the mail server. The thread that executes the program is terminated by the interpreter.

On the other hand, as shown in the concept of the mail browser in the card browser of the present invention shown in Figure 4 connected to the mail server, an information separator application program interface (ISAPI DLL) is a browser If you press Send after creating a card in the mail DLL module through writing the contents of the card (Click), it calls the ISAPI DLL to proceed with the necessary work and calls the DLL that makes the file into an executable file (EXE). After creating the EXE, it calls the mail DLL again and hands over the card data to the mail server.

In addition, the EXE DLL module plays a role of making a GIF box and a card content and a browser card into an EXE-type displaceable file, which is an initial animation at the start of a single file. This module transfers EXE files to the mail server and makes them available by connecting to various mail servers.

In addition, as shown in the concept of an active browser transmitted through an e-mail according to the present invention shown in FIG. 5, since the active browser uses the engine module of the Internet Explorer, all functions provided by the explorer can be used as they are. Along with the rich web browser function, the most convenient and convenient user interface is provided according to the contents of each service, and a uniquely shaped browser is provided for each card to enhance the utility of the card.

In addition, the active browser module can perform necessary operations according to the characteristics and contents of each service content, for example, receive new data from a server and update it, and a function required for a general web browser as a general explorer driving engine. This provides.

As described above, according to the card browser capable of reconfiguring the user interface and the screen menu through the e-mail of the present invention, an existing e-mail card provided with a service of simply sending a message or putting a picture in the background is provided. In contrast, the browser card can not only use the active browser as a client, but also can view the contents of the previously received card using the card received by the browser, and once the browser card engine is received, only the image is received from the next card. Many technical differences can be provided in terms of network traffic.

In addition, the existing received messages can be viewed through one browser card, and various types of card designs and multiple effects can give a special distinctive effect to the user who receives the card. Not only can you use your own browser, but also press the shortcut button (Short cut or Link) can be provided with the ease of use that can choose the browser card to send the card immediately.

As a result, as a new form of electronic card, it is possible to improve the user interface through the active browser while outputting messages with the active browser, and to connect image programs combined with server-based programs at the start of the browser. By minimizing and providing server-independent server operating system, it is expected to be applied to various Internet service providers, including online electronic card service providers and browser manufacturers, to service other electronic cards.
