Description

System and method for auto filling of an information in an internet}

The present invention relates to a system for automatically writing information on the Internet and a method thereof, and more particularly, to an information automatic writing system and method for automatically inputting user registration information on the Internet.

In general, the Internet is an on-line computer network spread across the globe, connected to governments, businesses, schools, and general networks and individuals, and is currently a network with more than 3 million computers.

The Internet began with funding from the US government in 1984, and was initially a public network limited to a limited number of people, including government and school researchers, but is now a universal network open to anyone. In Korea, computer communication companies use one-on-one information service network, Unitel, Hitel, Chollian, etc. to connect one-on-one message (e-mail) and one-to-many message delivery (Board) It offers a wide range of services, including Bulletin Board, One-Line Chat, and File Transfer.

As such, when a user enters various web sites on the Internet, in many cases, the user is required to register as a member of the site in order to receive services from the site. At this time, if the user wants to register as a member, the user has to enter the same information repeatedly for each website that visits his information.

With this in mind, a typical method of automatically entering personal information on the Internet is using eWallet ^™ , Qpass and eCode. This method uses the form filling function in the information input form. When the form is filled, personal information is filled in and submitted on the visually visible page, and the user enters the information by submitting it.

For example, eWallet ^TM from Lauchpad Technologies of the United States is a tool developed for internet shopping, which accesses a web shopping-related website, which is called eWallet ^TM . It allows you to easily enter credit card and user personal information using drag technology for websites affiliated with. However, eWallet ^TM makes it easy to enter only financial information on your behalf, which is a hassle to drag with a mouse.

Another method of automatic information entry is Microsoft's developed Web browser, Explore ^TM 5.0, which provides automatic filling. That is, the user can selectively enter an e-mail or an address only for the web site once visited by the user. However, this method has a weak point in security. For example, if a single PC is used by several people, even personal information entered by other people is printed out at once.

Accordingly, the technical problem of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is an automatic information input system on the Internet that allows Internet users to remove repetitive input work when registering their personal information by visiting a web site. To provide.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically writing information using the above-mentioned automatic writing system on the Internet.

In addition, authentication data may be automatically transmitted when authentication is required.

Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic information writing system on the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the operation of the form information construction unit shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the form information construction unit 100 includes a form syntax analysis unit 110, a semantic analysis unit 120, an information simulation execution unit 130, a rule DB 140, and a statistics DB 150. , Form information DB 160, result information DB 170, result semantic DB 180, and dummy information DB 190.

The form parsing unit 110 detects a form page for inputting form information by actively searching for source information of H.T.M.L (hereinafter referred to as HTML) from sites connected to the Internet. From the detected form page, the form page is classified by form form. Next, HTML tags are separated from the classified form pages, and content (or content) is separated and provided to the semantic analyzer 120.

The semantic analysis unit 120 analyzes the meaning of the form field from the information separated from the HTML tag and the content provided from the form parsing unit 110, generates form field information from which the semantics are analyzed, and then generates new specifications and statistics. It generates and stores in the rule DB 140 and the statistics DB 150, respectively.

The information simulation execution unit 130 allocates the dummy information corresponding to the form information, transmits the dummy information allocated data to a predetermined site, feeds back the result information and the result information stored in the result meaning DB 180 and In the case of different and different comparisons, the information is updated and stored as feedback information.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an operation of the form information building unit shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, first, when the form information building unit is operated, a Uniform Resource Locator (hereinafter referred to as a URL) address of a predetermined site is designated (step S10). In this case, the URL can directly receive the representation and data of any file or service on the Internet with the network service necessary for the web server to search and interpret any characteristic information, file or resource existing on the Internet. For example, when expressed as 'http://www.trumpet.com.ar/', http means protocol and 'www.trumpet.com.ar' means where you want to connect. The ':' in the URL indicates the method to access, and after the colon (:) the location of the data or the address of the server providing the service. And the remaining part shows the file name to access the port number to be connected.

Subsequently, the information of all the links is found from the designated URL, and all the links are recursively visited (step S20). At this time, the link is limited to the corresponding URL site and the link of the external site is ignored.

Then, it is checked whether or not the input form information exists in the page to be visited (step S30). If the form information does not exist, the feedback is fed back to step S20 to continue the visit of another page of the URL site to determine whether the input form information exists. If the input form information exists, the HTML source of the page is extracted and imported (step S40). In this case, HTML is a web construction language used by a web (WWW) client to connect to a server and use functions provided by the server, and to create and present a hypermedia document on a web server. It consists of a plain text document consisting of tags consisting of '&lt;', 'word', and '& gt'. The tag type is &lt; p &gt; &Lt; image &gt; to read a picture file from a tag to change a paragraph, such as &lt; a href &gt; There are various tags. An HTML document written in HTML that expresses such tags, characters, and images is interpreted by a browser on the receiving side of the service and shows the contents of the document desired by the information creator.

The parsed HTML is then parsed to extract the text elements of the page and the syntax elements of the tags included in the form (step S50). At this time, the extracted text and syntax tokens of the corresponding page are stored in the structured memory.

Then, it analyzes what information the page requires inputting through the text information extracted from the page with respect to the extracted syntax tokens (step S60). For example, if the extracted text contains the word sign-up, this page can be assumed to be a sign-up page.

Subsequently, the information required by each of the input tags is analyzed by applying a form tag and a usage rule of the text contents included in the form tag (step S70). In general, input tags are expressed in the same way as <input type = text name = username size = 10 MaxLength = 15>, where the name (text) that displays the input information, the information type (text) of the input, and the tag It means the name, the size of the input window, and the maximum length. Already they are divided by the form parser 110 in the form of tokens, and the text, information type, and tag name are analyzed using the usage rule DB 140 to grasp the required information type. For example, if there is a token tuple as follows (name, text, username), the usage rule DB 140 searches for what information these token tuples mean.

If the usage rule is not found in step S70, since it is a new rule, it is stored again in the usage rule DB 140 to allow the administrator to set the rule.

In addition, when several rules are applied simultaneously in step S70, the information is determined by statistical data used in the usage rule (step S80). In other words, it is necessary to apply statistical data because there is a high probability of applying the analyzed token to be applied to frequently used usage rules. At this time, the statistical data is updated each time semantic analysis is executed to maintain the latest usage trend.

Subsequently, a semantic token is generated and the generated semantic token is stored in the form information DB 160 (step S90).

Next, mock user data is generated from the mock form information DB 190 with respect to the information required in the input field (step S100). At this time, the mock user data is data stored in the mock form information DB 190 and includes actual data for most of the information used on the Internet.

Subsequently, the generated simulation data is allocated to transmit the simulation data to the corresponding page, and the HTML source to be fed back is received to check whether the data is successfully transmitted (step S110).

Then, by analyzing the received data content, the keyword for the result is extracted from the HTML source, and the execution result and the keyword are stored in the DB so that the form information construction unit 100 can use it to determine the execution result of the data transmission (step) S120). More specifically, it assigns values to all fields and sends them, and analyzes the results one by one without assigning mock data to each field to determine the results when the information in each field is missing or when duplicate information is present. Analyze and save.

After completing all the combinations, the process returns to step S20 to visit another site to perform the operation described above (step S130).

In the above embodiments of the present invention, the analysis of the Hangul syntax has been described as an example, but it is obvious that the foreign language syntax may be analyzed.

4 is a view for explaining the operation of the information providing server shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the information providing server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is linked to form information from the client information DB 210 in response to a request from the web service server 500. The form data of the requesting site is read out to generate the sending data, and the generated sending data is transmitted to various sites through HTTP, SSL, etc. to obtain the result page.

The result page is then searched for the result information DB 170 and the result syntax DB 180 to analyze the result and then provide the analyzed result to the web service server 500. In this case, the user may automatically fill out the form field through the service result provided from the web service server 500.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an operation of the information providing server illustrated in FIG. 4.

As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, first, in order to use the automatic input agent service of the input information, an individual information profile is required, so as to confirm which user's information is transmitted by receiving user authentication (step S210).

A list of information providing forms that can be used by the user is generated from the form information DB generated by the form search agent (step S215).

In the generated list, the user clicks a desired place to transmit his information to the corresponding form (step S220).

The automatic input agent system for input information obtains the corresponding form information and form information from the form information DB and the user DB, respectively, and checks a field (hereinafter referred to as required information) in which information required by the form must be input (step S225). ).

In step S225, it is checked whether essential information is missing (step S230), and if there is missing essential information, a separate page that can be additionally input to a user may be provided so that only missing information may be input. (Step S235).

Subsequently, when the required input information is provided, data is allocated to the field information included in the form, thereby preparing raw data for transmission (step S240). At this time, the field name to be transmitted is already in the form information DB, and the meaning of the form information to be replaced with this field is also understood. Therefore, the information can be assigned to each field accurately.

Then, the protocol method to be used at the partner site to receive the information is determined (step S245). The basic protocol at this time is HTTP, and it decides the transmission method such as POST, GET, SSL (what bit encryption, and which key should be used if a key is needed).

The prepared form information is then transmitted using the corresponding protocol (step S250).

The URL returned after the transmission and the HTML source of the page are extracted (step S255).

Then, the transmission result DB analyzed by the simulator based on the simulation information and the HTML result are compared (step S260).

As a result of the comparison in step S260, if the transfer is successful, a successful log is recorded (step S270).

If it is checked in step S260 that the transmission has failed, the cause of the failure is analyzed (step S275). In this case, if there is no network error, the following error may exist.

First, missing input information (if it is not required but requires input)

Second, data duplication (resident registration number, e-mail, ID, etc. may not be duplicated at the other site)

Third, the wrong data type is passed.

If the result of the analysis of step S275 indicates that there is generally available information other than the information already transmitted among the errors, if the replacement information exists (for example, in the case of a duplicate or wrong data format), the replacement information is returned. After generation (step S285), the feedback information is sent back to step S250 and the generated replacement information is transmitted. If the information to be replaced does not exist, it is no longer retransmitted. The cause is notified (step S290).

In the above embodiments of the present invention, the transmission for the Hangul phrase has been described as an example, but it is obvious that the foreign language phrase can be transmitted.

Although the above has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be able to variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be appreciated.
