FIG. 1 is a computer 11 of an Internet user, an Internet network 13, a web server of an operator, and a data server of a user. DB 15), a third-party web server and a DB server 17, a first application server 19, a second application 21, etc., which a user wants to register and search in InfoCube. At this time, ① shows the step of building a personal portal site, ② shows the information retrieval step using a personal portal site, and ③ shows the web server and DB server of a third party based on the operator DB information when accessing the service member. Shows the steps of extracting information from

Here, the user's computer 11 allows the Internet user to form a personal portal site by accessing the web server 13 of the operator using the Internet network.

The web server 13 is an internet server that provides a service for the Internet user to form his or her own portal site, and has a cube having a virtual polyhedron form (hereinafter referred to as info-cube). It is provided by each category, and is defined as parsing codes and keywords of the user's DB server 15 and other companies' websites so that each side of the InfoCube can include only one site or a specific part of the information designated by the user. In addition, the user can register / modify the information to obtain desired information on each side of the cube through the computer 11.

In addition, the web server 13 stores the parsing codes and keywords by specifying the entire site or part of the user's site in the operator's DB server 15, and the third party through the third party's web server and DB server 17 when the member access The member portal site can be configured by calling only the part designated by the user. In this case, some of the information of the server 17 of the third party may be stored in the DB 15 in the form of any information desired by the user, such as text information, images, and videos.

On the other hand, the DB 15 of the user is the information of the personal portal site that the Internet user registered and modified in the web server 13 through the user computer 11, that is, the registered information cube and the name, information of each information cube It stores third-party website information and software program icon information for personal computers on each side of the cube.

The web server and DB server 17 of the third party perform a normal information request / transmission with the web server 13 of the operator on the information registered in the site built on the server. At this time, the third-party web server and DB server 17 may provide information by a separate contract with the operator.

The first application server 19 serves to process logic when the user stores the information of the personal portal site formed by the web server 13 in the DB server 15 of the operator.

The second application server 21 executes logic for calling only the portion of information designated by the web server 13 of the service provider to the web server and DB server 17 of the third party and delivering it to the web server 13 of the service provider. .

Here, the first and second application servers 19 and 21 may be implemented using a web server of an operator without separately preparing.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the steps of ① as described in FIG. 1, 100 is a member confirmation and a new member joining step, 200 is a step of modifying member information, and 300 is 300. Shows steps such as 400 for registering or modifying the information range of the InfoCube in the personal portal screen and 500 for registering the software of the personal computer for use in the personal portal screen.

First, the user performs steps S11 and S12 through which his computer 11 accesses the initial screen of the portal site through the Internet network.

At this time, the initial screen is shown in any form in the attached Figure 3 (a). Here, the initial screen includes an input window for inputting an ID and a password and a new member registration icon, and other service related icons including a software icon and a searching method of a personal computer, and the like. Info-cube provided by the operator is provided basically.

Then, the process of step S13 asking for membership is carried out, and if the member is moved to the configured member portal screen, and if not, the step S21 for asking whether to join a new member is performed.

In this case, when a user joins as a new member, S22 is displayed to display a subscription application screen, and in the step S23, personally identifiable information such as the name, social security number, address, contact number, e-mail address, ID, and password of the user to join. Allows you to enter.

Next, in the case of asking whether to join in the step S24 and approving the case of joining as a member, the step S25 of storing the member information in the operator's DB 15 is performed. And, if the member does not approve whether to join or not, the feedback is returned to the initial screen S12.

Then, the subscribed member accesses the member portal screen in step S14.

In this case, the member portal screen is formed in a form similar to the initial screen as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, but instead of the infocube providing basic information, an infocube determined by the member is provided, and an icon for member confirmation. Instead, there is a difference that an icon for modifying member information or an icon for modifying member portal information is provided.

Next, when it is determined whether or not to modify the member information S31, and when modifying the member information, go to 200 to change the member information in the steps of S32, S33, S34 and go to the screen of the member portal screen S14.

In the case of attempting to register and modify the personal portal screen in step S14, which is the personal portal screen, the user asks whether to register and modify the portal screen of the member in step S41. Go to the DB server 15 with the portal information reads the information on the personal portal screen and displays it in step S43.

The information range of the infocube to be registered at step S46 is performed in step S44 for selecting an infocube to be registered or corrected among the infocube on the personal portal screen, and step S45 for specifying the name of the selected infocube, and in step S46. Ask if it is registered.

At this time, if the information to be registered in the Infocube is registered in the DB server 15, step S47 to select the partial information so that the information can be retrieved from the DB server 15, and in step S48 registration of the Infocube Ask if you are done.

If it is not registered in the DB server 15, a web browser is operated to connect to a specific site, that is, a site registered on a third-party web server, and a scraper for selecting all or part of the site is required. Steps S51, S52, and S53 for selecting a range are performed.

In step S54, it is asked whether or not to exemplify the selected information range to any InfoCube. In this case, when the range of information selected for the selected site is exemplified in the infocube, the subsequent step S48 asks whether the registration of the infocube is completed. If not, the feedback is sent back to step S53 to specify a new range.

At this time, the registration of the member portal screen registers a target site URL and a parsing code / keyword of a designated information range.

In addition, a second application server 21 is located between the web server 13 of the operator and the web server and DB server 17 of the third party, and parses the specified information range during the registration / modification of the infocube at 400. It plays a role.

Then, when registration is completed in step S48, step S49 is performed to store the portal information of the member in the DB 15. If the registration is not completed, the feedback is fed back to the steps S42 and S46.

Then, after the step S61 to display the registration screen for registering the software on the personal portal screen so that the software stored in the personal computer on the portal screen is displayed in step S43, the software is selected and registered in step S62 and software registration is performed. Step S63 is performed asking whether to complete the step.

When the software registration is completed in step S63, the process moves to step S48. When the registration of the member portal screen is not completed, the process returns to the screen S61.

Then, after the step S48 to perform the step S49 to store the member portal information in the operator's DB (15) and moves to step S14, which is the member portal screen.

4A to 4C are display screens illustrating a personal portal service constructed according to a personal portal service system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which is divided into six areas of the screen and forms one infocube. You can also place light colored ads on the background of each area. 4C illustrates that an LG advertisement is displayed on a background.

4A illustrates a screen simultaneously showing subscription and personal information correction and information registration and correction of the infocube 30.

At this time, the infocube 30 is formed in a structure having a cube and defines each information range on each surface. The order of defining the information range is performed in step 400 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2.

In addition, the infocube 30 is provided with a rotation icon 40 that can rotate the cube shape.

FIG. 4B is a screen showing output of the information specified in the initial screen, and shows information displayed on the other side of the infocube 30 using the rotation icon 40 provided on the upper right side. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the software program is registered and used in the InfoCube instead of forming an icon connected to the software provided in the personal computer.

FIG. 4C shows an enlarged view of only one piece of information designated and output on the initial screen of the infocube 30 of one of FIG. 4B.

For reference, a first application server 19 is provided between the operator's web server 13 and the operator's DB 15, and the operator's web server 13 and the third party's web server and DB server 17 are provided. The second application server 21 is provided in between so as to facilitate the formation of the portal service system.

As described above, the personal portal service system and its operation method according to the present invention are registered to connect the purified information or related sites to each side of the infocube of the virtual polyhedron shape to form a personal portal service system to view the Internet information. It allows the individual to form the personal portal screen directly and actively, facilitating the registration and retrieval of information, and by registering the icon connected with the software of the personal computer on the personal portal screen, the software of the personal computer while using a web browser.
