Description

Advertising method using mouse cursor {Method of Advertising for Using Mouth Cursor}

The present invention relates to an internet advertising method, and more particularly, to an internet advertising method using a mouse cursor to view an advertisement mounted on the mouse cursor by selecting a mouse cursor according to an intention of a user connected through an internet network. .

In general, a mouse cursor provides a function of indicating a position on a display device, which is a kind of output device of a computer. The mouse cursor is displayed on the display apparatus in a shape as shown in FIG. 1 to indicate a current position on the display apparatus when the user moves to a desired position or drags a window. In addition, the mouse cursor is always displayed on the display device when the program is executed in the window environment so that the window size and position can be adjusted. On the other hand, when the user moves to a desired position on the display device, adjusts the window size and adjusts the position, the user's field of view follows the mouse cursor.

However, since the shape of the mouse cursor is provided only in some forms in a program under a general window environment, it does not satisfy various needs of the user. In addition, since the user's field of view gazes at the mouse cursor to perform desired tasks on the program, the time for staring at the mouse cursor is relatively long during the entire work time.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an internet advertisement method using a mouse cursor to view an advertisement by selecting and using a mouse cursor having an advertisement inserted according to a user's intention.

1 is a view showing a conventional mouse cursor shape.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an advertisement method using a mouse cursor according to the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a mouse cursor selection step of FIG. 2; FIG.

In order to achieve the above object, the advertisement method using the mouse cursor according to the present invention includes a first step of performing user authentication, a second step of determining whether to change the mouse cursor, and a second step of changing the mouse cursor. A third step of selecting a shape of a mouse cursor, a fourth step of using a mouse cursor selected in the third step, and a fifth step of counting a period of time during which an advertisement is displayed from the start of the fourth step. do.

Other objects and features of the present invention in addition to the above objects will become apparent from the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3 will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an advertisement method using a mouse cursor according to the present invention.

User authentication is performed (step S1). User authentication connected through the Internet is performed. User authentication is performed by comparing the ID (ID) and / or password (Password) of the currently connected user with a member database (hereinafter referred to as "DB") stored in the server. That is, when the data of the currently connected user is registered in the member DB, the server assigns a session ID corresponding to the ID of the currently connected user.

It is determined whether the mouse cursor is changed. (S2 step) When the user uses the mouse cursor with the advertisement, the user is informed that a predetermined amount is accumulated in the reserve DB of the server and selects whether to change the mouse cursor according to the user's free will. do. In this case, a mouse cursor converting unit is provided in a specific area on a display device (for example, a monitor) so that the user can select the shape of the mouse cursor when the user clicks it. Meanwhile, when the user does not want to change the mouse cursor, the existing mouse cursor (that is, the mouse cursor having the shape shown in FIG. 1) is used as it is.

Select the shape of the mouse cursor. (S3 step) When the user wants to change the shape of the mouse cursor, one of the mouse cursors stored on the first DB (for example, the advertisement DB) is selected and used. The first DB stores data related to various types of mouse cursors that are manufactured by ordering from an advertiser, that is, data related to the shape of the mouse cursor, advertisement contents, and reserves corresponding to the advertisement contents. At this time, the mouse cursor is configured in various forms as shown in Figure 3, each of the mouse cursor is inserted an advertisement image and / or characters. On the other hand, it is desirable to maintain the size of the mouse cursor does not inconvenience the user to view the display device.

Use the mouse cursor with the ad inserted. The user performs a desired operation on the display apparatus using the mouse cursor selected in the step S3.

(S5 step) The server counts the time from the start of the S4 step to the S7 step to be described later, or the time when the user logs out of the server, and then the session ID of the current user (step S5). Session ID), the type of selected mouse cursor, and the counted time are stored in a second DB on the server (eg, reserve DB). The server operator pays a reserve corresponding to the cost accumulated for each session ID of the user from data stored in the second DB on a predetermined date (weekly, monthly).

It is determined whether the mouse cursor is returned. (S6 step) If the user wants to use the mouse cursor inserted with the advertisement as it is, the user can continue to perform the desired operation on the display device by using the mouse cursor selected in the step S3. do. On the other hand, when the user wants to return the mouse cursor, the mouse cursor is returned to its original shape (ie, the shape shown in FIG. 1) by clicking the mouse cursor converting unit. (S7 step) In addition, when the user wants to use a mouse cursor of another shape, after performing the S7 step, the mouse cursor having the desired shape is used by sequentially performing the S2 and S3 steps.

As described above, the advertisement method using the mouse cursor of the present invention enables the user to use a mouse cursor having various forms according to the user's selection by changing the shape of the mouse cursor according to the user's free will.
