Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for processing functions such as information exchange, character contract, character competition, and the like on a character on the Internet. All functions including the steps S10 to S60 described below with reference to FIG. It is selected and performed in a tree structure as shown in FIG.

First, when the connection to the ISP system 40 is established by using the terminal of the client, the main page is outputted (S10). The main page includes tour selection buttons such as a bulletin board, mileage, a personal homepage, a site map, a help guide, etc. in addition to a main function selection button for performing the steps S10 to S60 described later.

At this time, the member may be configured to log in to the main page immediately after access through the dialog box. Alternatively, the main corner may be configured to use the member login while opening the tour corner to the non-member.

The next step S20 indicates to perform the request data processing subroutine according to the selection of the InfoStub function. Infoshop's main page is a daily update article button for news, business, brand, video, and personal information, and a web surfing guide, company visits, new products, comics, and character shows. Monthly Update Article Buttons, Public Archive Buttons to provide information on music, images, and authors, Job / Job and Bulletin Board Buttons linked to the main page, Event, Webzine, Newspaper Comics, and Manga Artists It has a "recommended site button" for providing information such as a cartoon work, a cartoon society, a collection of illustrations, and a "info shop search button" for searching by lake and articles.

At this time, the public library corner outputs a list of stored data, outputs a selected content from the list, posts and posts, and processes a download. This requires bidirectional processing of data between the client and the ISP system 40.

The next step S30 indicates to perform a predetermined creation and transaction processing according to the selection of the gallery function. The gallery main page is provided with a button for selecting a group, a deal, a My Gallery, a cartoon association gallery, and the like. Fellowship section is divided into information bulletin board, free bulletin board, announcements, group introduction, subscription guide, membership greetings, joining, etc. Particularly, in the joining corner, forms for personal and corporate use are printed and stored separately. Manga Association Corner is subdivided into corners such as member association guide, cartoon table of contents, illustration house, and house association house.

At this time, in step S30, the license guarantee settlement and the auction processing subroutine or the artwork competition subroutine are selectively performed as the 'transaction button' or the 'my gallery button' is clicked. The license guarantee settlement and auction processing method, which is a trading corner, is performed by a subroutine for checking the copyright, registering a user, setting up a guarantee, performing a conditional auction, and selecting a contracting party. The explanation is as follows.

As shown in the figure, a client wishing to copyright a character first accesses the gallery step 30 and selects a desired character from among various characters T10 registered on the homepage. At this time, the client can know a more specific application by clicking the selected character again (T11).

After that, the client checks the copyright of the desired character registered in the copyright database (T12), and then inputs the client's information (T13) in the license form previously prepared by the server operator, and the input information is stored in the prospective customer database.

Then, the input information of the client and the usage year and license period of the character selected by the client are registered in detail (T14), and the quotation is automatically calculated and stored in the quotation database.

Then, the guarantee is settled according to the result (T15) and the result is stored in the guarantee result database and the manager is notified at the same time. At this time, the manager notifies the licensed desired client of the calculated cost, and if there are at least two clients wishing for the same character, the manager executes an auction T16 on the condition of guarantee and selects the client most suitable (T17).

Therefore, by establishing a prospective customer selection database through the quotation service on the web and entering a specific contract, the auction is carried out to perform a marketing function of winning the best contract through the actual contract.

In addition, the My Gallery corner in the step (S30) is subdivided into corners, such as the introduction of the excellent works of the competition, entry of the works, reviewing the works, voting, view the gallery. In this case, bidirectional processing of data is necessary between the client and the ISP system 40.

The next step S40 indicates to perform an e-commerce subroutine according to the selection of the shopping mall function.

At this time, the product information section introduces items by item and item in general or in detail, and logs in to the member according to the purchase application, and then uses the shopping cart to shop and pay. Of course, non-members are encouraged to print out the application form. The purchase information corner is subdivided into corners such as joint purchase, flea market, monthly hit product, sale product, and the like. As described above, the member logs in according to the purchase application and then uses the shopping cart to shop and pay.

The next step S50 illustrates performing the card transfer subroutine in accordance with the selection of the card function. The main page of the card transfer includes a bulletin board, a view of received cards, a best card, a best user, a card for each character, a usage method, an anniversary reservation, and a theme card. In particular, in the corner of any one of the above-mentioned best card, best user, character card, and theme card, a card may go through a series of steps to select a still card or a video card, select music, compose and send a message. . Theme cards are categorized according to events such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, Admission / Graduate, Children's Day, Parents, Friends, Lovers, and Birthdays.

The next step S60 shows performing the chat processing subroutine in accordance with the selection of the chat function. If you select Avita on the main page of the chat and enter your membership information, you can access the corners of the chat room, chat room list, and chat room. Chat room lists are categorized by topic, age, and region.

In addition to the present invention, there are various corners on the subject of the character, which may include a game using a character, a comic story, a calendar, and the like. In the corner for using the character as an image of a cursor or icon, a subroutine is performed to provide a list of images, download them, and install them automatically.
