Cyber money is a payment means that is distributed in the service providing server of the present invention is a payment means that can receive the euro service by mobile phone payment, bank account payment payment, credit card payment and the like.

The authentication picture is a picture for verifying that the picture of the active member is compared with at least one new member's personal details uploaded by the active member.

Hereinafter, described in detail by the accompanying drawings as follows.

1 is a block diagram of interconnection between a member and a server on the Internet according to the present invention.

The regular member 100 and the prospective member 200 access the service providing server 400 through the Internet and receive the services provided by the service providing server according to the member's field. That is, the regular member can receive all the services provided by the service providing server, while the prospective member manages the service with the restriction.

The member's information is stored in a user database (DB) 410, and the member's information is detected in real time by the member's access in the user database (DB) to limit the service.

The photo editing process 420 is a process for editing a photo uploaded by an active member, and if the active member needs to edit the photo before uploading his or her photo, the photo editing process 420 transmits his photo to the service providing server from the service provider. It's a process that lets you edit your own photos. The photo editing process 420 is not a process that is directly driven by an operator, but is a process of directly operating a process by an administrator of an operator who operates a service or an operator who performs photo editing.

The photo editing affiliate 500 is a photo shop affiliated with a service providing server and is a partner of a web service operator for editing a photo into a more sophisticated form of photo. The active member visits the affiliated store and takes a photo at the affiliated store. When the affiliated store edits the picture and transmits it to the service providing server 400, the service providing server stores the picture in the database of the regular member so that the photo of the regular member can be viewed on the web (see FIG. 5). ) can do. This is a company that has already been affiliated with a server provider and an affiliated relationship. The above alliance can be made online or offline, and the photo affiliate is provided by an operator who operates a service providing server. can do.

2 is a flowchart of a process of registering as a regular member and a prospective member according to the present invention.

A visitor who accesses the website of the present invention via the Internet first decides whether to join as a member (step S2-1). If you want to join as a member, write a simple identity statement and send it to the web server (step S2-2). The above-mentioned identity statement includes name, address, date of birth, social security number, workplace, and final education. When the information is written down and transmitted, the service providing server analyzes the content and grants the accessor a qualification as a prospective member (step S2-3). The above information is sent to the terminal of the prospective member to show that he is registered as a prospective member. Upon obtaining the qualification as a prospective member, the prospective member selects whether to join as a regular member (steps S2-4), and when the signal indicating that he wants to remain as a prospective member is transmitted to the server, the prospective member is stored in the prospective member's database. (Step S2-9). If the prospective member wants to register as a regular member, the signal is recognized by the service provision server, and the service provision server transmits a detailed identity statement, which is a requirement to qualify as a qualified member, to the terminal of the prospective member, and the prospective member is referred to the identity statement. To create and send to the server (step S2-5) The detailed identity statement includes work information, education information, family register information, payment means and the like. After filling out the above information and sending it to the server, the service providing server makes an inspection by requesting an audit (step S2-6) on its own or externally based on the above contents, and determines whether the member can be registered as a full member by the audit (S2). -7 steps). If it is not possible to register as a full member, the above information is sent to the terminal of the prospective member and stored as a prospective member (step S2-9). If possible, as a regular member, the notification that the member has been determined to be sent to the terminal of the prospective member and stored in the database of the regular member (steps S2-8).

Figure 3 is a flow chart for a prospective member to view the photo of the active member according to the present invention, a prospective member is a flow chart when the member wants to view the photo of the active member to access the web server of the present invention. When a prospective member sends a signal to access a web server through the Internet, the service providing server recognizes the constant signal and approves the login. If the prospective member searches for the active member's ID or nickname after logging in (step S3-1) among the active members who want to see the photo, the service provision server detects the active member corresponding to the signal in the database of the prospective member and searches for the member's terminal. To transmit. The service providing server transmits to the terminal of the prospective member whether the detected active member has uploaded the picture, and the prospective member judges the transmitted data (step S3-2). Transmits a signal for requesting (step S3-3) to the service providing server. In the above, the prospective member should be charged with the cyber money, but if the cyber money is not charged, the service providing server transmits to the terminal of the prospective member whether the cyber money is charged and the prospective member decides to charge the cyber money ( Step S3-9). If the prospective member wants to recharge the cyber money, the payment method and the payment amount are input and the data is transmitted to the service providing server (step S3-10). The transmission data is analyzed by the service providing server to determine whether the payment is successful (step S3-11). The payment success may be performed in connection with a payment system of a bank, a credit card company, or a mobile communication company. Search and payment method and payment method of the ID in the process is already known technology, and because it does not fall within the scope of the present invention will not be described in detail.

When the cyber money is sufficient, if the user requests to view the photo (step S3-3), the service providing server makes a payment for the use of the photo service, and the cyber money designated in the preliminary member's account is settled (step S3-5). , A certain amount of cyber money is credited to the account of the active member who is requested to view the photo (step S3-6). By accumulating the cyber money, a kind of semi-professional market is prepared for regular members. After the cyber money is accumulated, the service providing server detects the photo in the database of the regular member and transmits the photo to the terminal of the prospective member to view the photograph of the regular member in the terminal of the prospective member (step S3-7). In the above, the account is a part of the database of the active member or the prospective member, and when the cyber money is charged, paid or used, the corresponding cyber money is stored in the database.

In the above description, a technique for uploading a photograph and showing the uploaded photograph by a request signal is already known and can be easily realized at the level of ordinary skill in the art, and thus the description thereof is not given.

Since the active member has already paid a predetermined service fee, the user can view the pictures of other active members, and the active member can be embodied as having no problem in viewing the pictures of the other active members. However, in order to encourage the photo upload of the active members, only the active member who uploaded the photo can operate the web service so that the other member can fire the photo.

In addition, since the regular member pays a predetermined fee and receives the service accordingly, the member does not have any difficulty, and since the active member does not need cyber money or a charged amount to view the photo of another active member, a flow chart in which the active member views the regular member photo In addition, the preliminary member may upload a picture, but the preliminary member uploaded a picture that has not been authenticated (described in FIGS. 4 and 5), and thus another member, that is, a regular member or a preliminary member may upload the picture. There is no limit to seeing, and it is desirable that the photo uploaded by the preliminary member does not accumulate a certain amount of proceeds in proportion to the number of times exposed on the Internet.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of uploading a photo by a regular member online according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, since only the active member can upload an authenticated picture, the service providing server determines whether the active member is a regular member or a prospective member (step S4-1). If the prospective member is sent to the terminal member of the prospective member whether or not to register as a regular member, the prospective member determines this (steps S4-8), the procedure for registering as a regular member is the same as the procedure for registering as a regular member of FIG. If a detailed identity statement required by the web service provider is prepared and sent to the service providing server (steps S4-9), the service providing server determines whether to register as a full member through its own or external examination (steps S4-10) (S4). Step 11) and the result of the notification to the terminal of the prospective member (step S4-12).

If you are a full member, you can upload a photo, but if you are not confident in the photo before you upload it, or if you want to perform a task that requires modification, the member yourself edits and uploads the photo. If the active member edits his photo, steps S4-2, S4-3, and S4-4 may be omitted, but if the active member does not have the technology to edit the photo, the member transmits his photo to the operation server (S4- Step 2) edit the photo on the operation server, and send the edited photo to the active member (step S4-3), if the active member sees the photo (step S4-4) and uploads the photo to the database of the regular member (S4 -5 steps). Since the photo uploaded by the active member is not authenticated in the upload, the uploaded photo must be authenticated. This is because the operator of the server compares the uploaded photo with the personal details of the active member (step S4-6). (S4-7). The picture is authenticated by establishing a matching procedure. If the picture does not match, the picture is backed up, the picture of the active member's database is deleted, and the correct picture is given to the active member. Send a text to recommend uploading (steps S4-13). The reason for backing up the picture in the above process is to back up the picture in advance in consideration of the fact that the picture may be different from the real one in the process of editing the picture to prevent the error of the operation server. In addition, the process of transmitting the photo by the active member to the service providing server and the process of determining the technology of editing the limb and the photo uploaded by the regular member at the service providing server are not automatically performed by the service providing server. It does not fall within the scope of the invention.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a process in which a regular member takes a picture offline and transmits the picture by uploading the picture to the service providing server through online.

If the service providing server transmits the location of the photo shops affiliated to the terminal of the active member, the active member grasps the position of the photo affiliate stores (step S5-1) and finds a photo store convenient for the active member to use. Identity verification (step S5-2), the above member verification can be done by sharing the database with the service provider or providing a new member's details in the service provider server, this process is the photo authentication described in FIG. It belongs to step S4-6. The active member takes a photo at the photo store (step S5-3), and the photo store performs the image processing (Image-processing, S5-4) at the photo store and provides the name and ID of the active member including the photo to the service providing server. And transmit (step S5-5). The service providing server stores the data in the database of the regular member (step S5-6) and outputs it on the Internet. In the above process, the member is not authenticated for the photo transmitted to the service providing server. The reason is that since the membership is authenticated in the photo shop, it is preferable that the database is stored in the database of the regular member without the authentication procedure. However, the process of steps S4-6 or S4-7 described with reference to FIG. 4 may be a preferred embodiment. Anyone can easily perform this description will not be described.

In the above, the active member visits the photo affiliate store, receives an identity verification, takes a photo, and the photo affiliate store does not fall within the scope of the present invention because the process of editing the photo occurs offline.

6 and 6a illustrate an embodiment in which a prospective member according to the present invention sees a picture.

FIG. 6 is a screen that a regular member retrieves from the service providing server by a signal for viewing the personal information of another regular member and is displayed on the monitor of the regular member or the prospective member, and is displayed as basic information 610, photo / video 620, and the like. There is a menu such as information 630, ideal type information 640, and additional information and ideal type information are not included in the scope of the present invention, and thus description thereof will not be provided. In response to the signal of the menu being clicked, the service providing server has an output unit 600 which detects data of the corresponding menu and transmits the data to the terminal of the member.

FIG. 6A is a screen displayed on a member's terminal by detecting a menu to view a picture, that is, a picture / video 620 detected by a service providing server according to a signal of a click. The picture is output through the output unit 600. As explained above, there is no limit to the case in which the active member sees the photo of another active member, and no reserve is paid. If the prospective member wants to see the photo of the active member, the cyber money must be charged and a certain amount is paid from the account of the prospective member according to the signal of the request to view the photograph while the cyber money is charged. A certain amount of cyber money is accumulated in the account from the cyber money to the regular member.

In this way, according to the present invention, by earning a certain amount of the profit according to the number of times the photo of the regular member is exposed to a certain amount of the revenue amount charged to the prospective member, the opportunity for the regular member to make a profit on the Internet web In addition, the distribution of profits above can provide a semi-professional market for active members who are confident in their appearance, and may have side effects that can lead prospective members to active members. By uploading coarse photos, the web service is made transparent, and through affiliation with photo shops, photo shops can enjoy the effect of attracting customers through our internet .

Therefore, due to the above effects, there may be an effect of increasing the number of regular members and prospective members.
