Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for providing information using the Internet is provided to link and connect to the corresponding web site in accordance with an information requesting condition when a user searches information using a computer being installed in a public place by storing a simple web browser and user's information in a card-typed CD. CONSTITUTION: If a user installs a card-typed CD in a CD drive, a CPU reads user's information and enables a data transmitting/receiving unit(ST100, ST110). The read information is stored in a memory and provided to the data transmitting/receiving unit, thus the information is transmitted to a member information managing company through an Internet broadcasting(ST120, ST130). The data transmitting/receiving unit receives an approval number from the Internet and provides the number to a CPU, and the CPU re-drives the CD drive by the number and reads a simple web browser(ST140, ST150). Web site information is displayed through a monitor and a speaker(ST160, ST170). If the user applies a completing command through a key input unit for terminating a web site search, the CPU disables the data transmitting/receiving unit and deletes all contents as web browser contents and user's information being stored in the memory(ST180, ST190).

Description

Method of Supplying Information using Internet}

The present invention relates to a method of providing information using the Internet. In particular, when a user requests the provision of Internet information from his or her home or outside by storing a simple web browser on a CD in a card form, The present invention relates to a method of providing information using the Internet to link a site.

In general, when an individual wants to receive information on the Internet from the outside, the user can access information on the Internet by using his portable computer (for example, a laptop) or by accessing the web using another computer. .

There are many ways to obtain local travel information when an individual travels in a certain area, but the easiest way is to get information from the Internet through a computer and get accurate information.

However, it is inconvenient to carry a portable computer simply to obtain travel information at the destination. In other words, due to the large volume, weight, and limited capacity of the battery, it is not easy to carry, and there is a case where a communication network for connecting the Internet is not easy.

For example, when a mobile computer attempts to connect to the Internet, a mobile phone is used to connect to a communication network, which is lagging behind a general communication network in communication speed, and even when a travel destination is a foreigner, it is not even available in reality.

In addition, if you do not have a portable computer, even if you rent a computer of another person in the field, you will not be able to easily use it for reasons such as exposure of user information.

Therefore, in view of the above problem, the present invention stores a simple web browser and user information in a CD in a card form, and then stores the information in a CD in a card form when the user searches for information using a computer installed in a public place at a travel destination. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of providing information using the Internet, which allows a web browser and user information to be linked and accessed according to information requirements.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing information using the Internet, the method including: a first step of determining whether a CD in a card form is inserted into a CD driver; A second step of reading the user information from the CD in the form of card and transmitting it to the management company via the Internet if the CD in the form of a card is inserted; A third step of driving a web browser recorded on a CD in the form of a card when an approval signal is generated from a management company; When a user selects a specific site through the web browser, a fourth process of linking the corresponding web site is performed.

In addition, the fifth step of storing the user information and the web browser read from the card-type CD in the memory; And a sixth process of deleting all contents stored in the memory when the user terminates the link of the web site.

The present invention thus made will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic diagram of the overall system of the present invention, in which a simple web browser is stored in a CD 100 in the form of a card.

For example, in the case of a web browser for a traveler, the content includes website link data for providing travel information, link data for hotel and restaurant reservations, link data for renting a car, and shopping information for a travel destination. Various link data such as link data for receiving the data is stored.

In this case, the web browser may be configured in advance by editing the web site link data of the place that the user himself mainly links to configure his own web browser.

In other words, if you travel to Japan, the web browser may contain link data such as' About Japan ',' Travel Japan ',' Link Information ',' Bulletin ',' Shopping Mall ', and Mail Search'. You can easily search and acquire the information you want immediately.

In addition, user information (eg, ID and password, e-mail address, payment credit card information, etc.) may be recorded.

Therefore, a web site is searched by inserting the CD 100 of the card type in which such information is recorded into the CD driver of the terminal 200, and the terminal 200 is searched at various places (eg, an airport, Hotels, bus terminals, large buildings, etc.) to access the Internet network, and in the case of a terminal operated by the membership system can be used by the user information recorded on the card type CD (100).

The card type CD 100 is about the size of a credit card or a business card, has a memory capacity of about 50MB, and is different from a general CD driver, such as using a circular CD having a diameter of 120mm. Can be used immediately without changing the structure.

When the user mounts the CD in the form of a card in the CD driver 210 of the terminal 200 as shown in FIG. 2, the central processing unit 220 first reads the user information from the CD in the form of the card. Next, the data transceiver 270 is first enabled (ST100 and ST110).

The user information read above is stored in the memory 290 and provided to the data transmitting / receiving unit 270 and then transmitted to the management company managing member information through the Internet network 300 (ST120 and ST130).

In this case, the reason for separately storing the user information in the memory 290 is that when the user uses the e-commerce, such as the purchase of goods, services, and the like through the Internet in the future by allowing the user to pay by the user information Even if you don't take any action, you can make payment easily.

Of course, in the management company, the customer management is performed by the transmitted user information. If the transmitted user information is correct information, the management company transmits a use permission signal for accessing the Internet to the Internet network 300.

For this reason, the data transmission / reception unit 270 receives the approval signal from the Internet network 300 and provides it to the central processing unit 220, and the central processing unit 220 receives the CD driver 210 by the approval signal thereof. By driving again, a simple web browser is read from the CD 100 in the form of a card (ST140 and ST150).

The web browser is stored in the memory 290. The web browser is stored by the central processing unit 220 to the image processor 230, and processed by a signal suitable for display, and then displayed on the monitor 240.

When the user selects or inputs a web site to be linked through the key input unit 280 using a web browser displayed on the monitor 240, the central processing unit 280 selects the selected link according to the key input thereof. The data is transmitted to the internet network 300 through the data transceiver 270.

Accordingly, the information of the web site corresponding to the link data is provided to the data transmission / reception unit 270 through the internet network 300, and the central processing unit 220 is provided to the image processing unit 230 or the audio processing unit 250. Provide the website information.

Therefore, website information is displayed via the monitor 240 or the speaker 260 (ST160, ST170).

Here, the user can create an e-mail using the terminal 200.

That is, the mail can be created by the e-mail creation tool and then transmitted to the other party through the Internet network 300. The e-mail transmitted is attached with an e-mail address previously stored in the memory 290.

Meanwhile, when a user selects a specific article or service through the key input unit 280 to use electronic commerce such as purchase of goods or service provision, the central processing unit 220 may provide information on the selected article or service. And by reading the user information for the electronic payment stored in the memory 290 to the data transmission and reception unit 270 to facilitate the electronic payment is made.

Subsequently, when the user applies the end command through the key input unit 280 to end the search of the web site, the central processing unit 220 disables the data transceiver 270 and then stores the web stored in the memory 290. All contents such as browser contents and user information are deleted (ST180, ST190).

This is because the user's information is continuously stored in the memory 290 to prevent illegal use of others.

That is, since the terminal 200 installed in a public place is used by a plurality of users, it is preferable that a web browser or the like used by an individual is deleted as needed.

As described above, the method of providing information using the Internet of the present invention records a simple web browser and user information on a CD in the form of a card, and is installed in a public place even if the user does not have to carry his own portable computer by using it when traveling or traveling to a foreign country. The terminal enables easy access and search of the web site.

In addition, by using the user information recorded in advance in the form of a card CD, it is possible to make an easy shopping and reservation of hotels, restaurants, etc. using the Internet from outside the travel destination.
