Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a schematic configuration of a system for performing a homepage type album production method according to the present invention, the configuration of such a system is the user terminal 1 and the Internet network connected to the Internet network (2) It is composed of a server (3) connected to (2) to send and receive data with the user terminal (1).

The server 3 includes various kinds of album samples designed to suit the tastes of various users when the user accesses the server 3 using the Internet network 2 to produce an album of the homepage type described below. Web server (8) showing the homepage, album production program (9) for producing albums in the form of album samples of the type presented by the web server (8) through the data transmitted by the user, data for making albums FTP server 11 for transmitting and receiving albums and a storage device 10 for storing the user's member information and album data, etc., such a system is a mail server for exchanging data or opinions with the user ( It may be further provided).

In addition, a computer (not shown) for producing data for producing an album received by mail in an offline state as an album of a homepage type may be separately provided.

In the system configured as described above, the web server 8 registers a member using a general member registration program, and after approval for membership registration, extracts an ID and password and registers as a user of the server 3. The program allows the user to access the FTP server 11 which is a component of the server 3. In addition, the fraudulent web server 8 includes samples of various albums for individual and / or step users designed by a professional designer, so that the user can select an album according to the user's taste, The web server (8) provides a manual for specifying the location of the video and the like to create a file for the description of the image and the video, so that the data such as the image and / or the video can be organized so that the user can easily create an album. To be transmitted to the FTP server (11).

The reason for using the method of creating a file that can describe the location of the image and / or the video and the image and / or the video is that the album maker program is used to create an album by giving regularity to the location of the data. This is to simplify the size and operation of (9).

That is, the album production program 9 mounted on the server 3 recognizes the data transmitted to the FTP server 11 in a state of being stored in a prescribed folder as created by the embodiment described below. At this time, the stored data is recognized in accordance with the prescribed method (folder, etc.) and coded into the homepage state to produce an album.

In addition, the payment is made by introducing a credit card or mobile payment system to confirm the user's payment and output the album production execution button to the user terminal 1 through the web server (8) so that the user can execute the production of the album do.

In addition, the FTP server 11 allows the user registered as a user of the server 3 in the web server 8 to be accessed by a general account, and restricts access to the upper directory to maintain the security of the server. In order to stabilize the server 3, the amount of the storage device 10 is restricted through a quota setting or the like.

In this way, the user can access the FTP server 11 regardless of the payment using the ID and password entered at the time of membership registration, and the data and album stored in the FTP server 11 are stored in the web server 8. It will not be erased until the new album is made by accessing it, and the user can directly delete it through the FTP server 11.

Briefly explaining the logic of the album production program 9 of this type, such a program 9 can be first divided into a calculation part and a display part, and the calculation part identifies the names of directories and files of image data. Extracts the description file of the album, processes the member information and selection data of the sample album, and displays the various types of albums presented by the album samples in the homepage format. Will be coded and inserted into the selected album in the homepage format to create the album. In addition, an album type can be added to the display portion so that a new album type can be added.
