The above object is a client system having a specific IP address as an Internet access device including a browsing function; A service system for providing predetermined information and services to an unspecified number over the Internet, the service system comprising: a main server including a database system for storing and managing local information or field-specific information; The main server uses the IP address of the client as a tool to determine the residence area of the corresponding user, and then provides information per region or sector suitable for the client.

In the present invention, the client system is characterized in that it further comprises an information providing system for providing information held by the administrator to the residents of a particular area. In addition, in the present invention, the information provider and the provider managing the client system are characterized in that mutual information is requested or provided by voice or video call by a web phone.

According to another feature of the present invention, the network system may further include a plurality of local servers that collect local information and provide it to the main server. This allows information requesters and information providers located in the same residential area to achieve their needs through a network below the local server.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings in the specification will be described in more detail.

1 is a system configuration diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 illustrates a process of inputting local information into a database of a server. 3 shows an example of an initial web screen implemented on a monitor of a client system by the system of the present invention.

The basic system implementing the present invention consists of a client system, a network system and a server system.

The client system is a system owned by an Internet user who is provided with information or services and includes a browser and a communication connection device. That is, the client system may be a PC, a mobile phone terminal, an Internet phone (web phone), a desktop video, or the like, and the web browser program to be mounted may be an Explorer or Netscape.

A network system is a wired or wireless communication network including the Internet or Ethernet, and a server system is a service system managed by a service company.

In addition, the service server is composed of a main server and a local server moving independently by region.

Each server has a database program or database server (hereinafter referred to as a database). The database includes a concept of a database management system for organizing and classifying stored data. In particular, the main server further includes management software for managing local servers located in each region (not just a physical concept).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the database stores and manages a lot of local information or service information collected online or offline. Area information constructed in the database is made by the operation as shown in FIG.

The local server and the main server can exchange data using gateway or VoIP technology. Each client system is linked to a local server to selectively receive information that the local server has or information that the main server has.

Referring to the operation or action by such a configuration as follows.

The most important feature of the present invention is that the server directly provides various information related to the area where the user holding the client system resides on the monitor of the client system. To this end, the server utilizes the client's unique IP address, e-mail address, or account ID, and provides information about the region already entered and classified according to the user's request. .

In other words, the server provides customized information service to users by linking local information collected and organized according to the addresses of users who use a specific client system.

Here, the region-related information may be detailed information about a program held or performed at a movie theater, baseball field, or cultural center. Further, more narrowly, it may be various information about a pharmacy dental hospital, a restaurant, a clothing store, or a train station. According to this concept, the above information can be constructed quite extensively, and there are various ways of using the information.

According to this, the Internet user can access various types of information on the area where he / she resides by immediately accessing the server site and selecting a submenu labeled with 'regional information' (see FIG. 3). .

The user may also select a wide range of areas for which he requires. For example, you may choose to be narrower, such as a town or town, where you live, or wider, such as a city or a province. This is something that can be achieved from the database management level.

In addition, such a system can be utilized as a means for local advertising. In other words, businesses such as certain restaurants, wedding halls or car service centers that are commonly found in the neighborhood can send advertisements about themselves through client systems located in the area. In this case, the service fee may be caused to bear all or part of the sales office according to the advertisement method.

Advertisements that can be employed may be in the form of a banner (Banner) is widely implemented, or there may be a way to send an advertisement on the entire screen in the form of a screen saver when the user does not use the PC for a long time.

Here, if the sales office, a group or an institution is able to communicate with the server, the Internet user may apply for the purchase or reservation of a specific product online.

On the other hand, the above concept may utilize information other than the address (for example, occupation, hobbies, religion or interests, etc.) about the user. The above information may be utilized by the user's consent on the basis of personal information entered during user registration. According to this, the user can obtain various information related to his job by selecting a submenu that can be labeled as 'job information'. The same also applies to hobbies and religions.

The same approach can also be used for publicly-focused public events, such as the election of regional directors.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology may be used. By using the existing IP network as a VoIP service, VoIP can significantly reduce the line cost of telephone or fax transmissions, allowing telephone users to make long-distance and international phone service in the Internet and intranet environments with only local call charges. It has the advantage of being able to receive.

According to the present embodiment, a web phone, a video phone, or the like (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a web phone), which is an application in which VoIP technology is embodied, constitutes a network together with a server. More specific data exchange is possible between a business system (restaurant, pharmacy, hospital, etc.) equipped with the web phone and the client system. That is, a user who accesses the office by referring to the information regarding the office provided by the server may receive a specific product or service by making a voice or video call through the Internet.

According to the above, there is provided an Internet customized service providing system that easily provides more closely and useful information to individual network users.

In other words, the service server can provide a more useful service to the user by utilizing the unique number that the user is required to be written or given at the time of registration with the service company.

In addition, sales offices operating in a particular region can benefit from being able to perform effective advertising at a lower advertising cost.

The user can easily obtain various kinds of information that are closely related to his or her real life without going through a series of processes.
