The user downloads the guided information via a wired internet web browser or a wireless internet web browser. Internet guide service site 120 supports the user to access the Internet content using a wireless email / Ual / mobile phone number in a wireless Internet environment, and an online mail / Ual destination in an online Internet environment.

2 is a block diagram illustrating data processing of a radio access content service site according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the internet guidance service site 220 provides information such as an e-mail / UAL / phone number of a desired party to the connected user terminal 240. In addition, it is possible to generate revenue by collecting transaction costs to the user. Meanwhile, the user may access an online internet service site or a wireless internet service site according to the type of the user terminal 240.

Looking at the relationship between the online Internet service site and the wireless Internet service site 200 and the Internet information service site 220 that the user wants to access, the wireless and wired Internet e-mail / UEL information is interfaced with each other. In the relationship between the client server and the host server, the guide information is provided by the Internet guide service site 200, and the e-mail / UEL information service fee is received from the online internet service site and the wireless internet service site 200. On the other hand, the relationship between the online Internet site site and the wireless Internet service site 200 and the user terminal 240, the relationship between them and the financial company 260 represents the operation according to the general web service provision.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an internet guidance service server system according to the present invention.

The internet guide service server 300 includes an online service unit 310, a guide information connection unit 320, a wireless service unit 330, and a database unit 340. The online service unit 310 and the wireless service unit 330 include an Internet site server connection unit 312 and 332, an Internet information interface unit 314 and 334, and a user connection unit 316 and 336, respectively. The database unit 340 includes a member DB 342, a guide information DB 344, and an internet e-mail / UEL / phone number DB 346.

Internet site server connections 312 and 332 connect to the server of the requested web site through user connections 316 and 336. That is, it is a part that supports the UAL connection of the client servers, the online Internet site server A1, A2, ... (370) and the wireless Internet site server C1, C2, ... (390). The Internet information interface unit 314, 334 interfaces the Internet content desired by the user in a web site connected through the Internet site server connection unit 312,332. To do this, it supports TCP / IP, the Internet's default protocol.

The user connection units 316 and 336 receive an input for accessing a web site from a connected user terminal through a web browser, and output Internet content obtained through the internet information interface units 314 and 334 to the user terminal. Basically, the user connection units 316 and 336 receive member IDs and passwords from the connected user terminals and check them using the member DB 342. Here, the user terminal is provided with a wired internet web browser on the online platform B1, B2, ... 380 or a wireless internet web browser on the wireless platform D1, D2, ... 400.

Meanwhile, the guide information connection unit 320 receives an order of contact information of a counterpart desired by the user from the user terminal through the user connection units 316 and 336. For example, when the user inputs the name of the desired counterpart, the user receives an order corresponding to the open information corresponding to the information. Alternatively, a desired item is selected from information such as e-mail / Ual / phone number and ordered as contact information. The guide information access unit 320 finds e-mail / Ual / telephone numbers of users registered as members using the Internet e-mail / Ual / telephone number DB 346. In addition, a search is made using the guide information DB 344 which stores the URLs of the linked affiliate web sites. The guide information access unit 320 downloads or displays a contact information of a desired counterpart on an online platform or a wireless platform according to a platform provided by the user terminal.

4 is a flowchart for explaining a radio access content service method according to the present invention.

First, information for internet guidance service such as wireless & online e-mail / UAL / telephone number is collected through member registration or affiliate web sites (operation 400). In other words, a database is received by receiving e-mails, URLs, telephone numbers, etc. from the subjects and users registered in the service, and the stored information is used as information for the Internet guidance service under the user's drop. It is also possible to pre-associate with websites with user registration information. Of course, we only collect information for which we have permission.

Next, the user accesses the Internet guide site through the web browser (step 402). In operation 404, a list of registered guide services that may be provided to a user who has been prepared in advance is displayed on a web browser. For example, the list of guide services may include a type of object that can be provided, information items accessible to the object, an information service fee according to an information search, and the like. Target types include individuals, companies, businesses, etc. Accessible information items include e-mails, URLs, and telephone numbers that are allowed to be disclosed.

Next, the user who checks the list of guide services receives an order for contact information of a desired counterpart (step 406). When the user basically enters the name of the other party, all information found for the name is ordered as contact information. In addition, if necessary, if you enter specific information you want to find, the information is ordered as contact information.

Next, it is determined whether the information service fee is required from the user (step 408). That is, when using affiliated web sites, it is determined whether the information service fee is required from the user according to whether the guide service is free or paid. In the case of pay, it is determined whether the user has paid the information service fee in advance. If the fee is paid and the user has not paid the information service fee in advance, the payment form is displayed on the web browser (step 410). In step 412, a desired payment form is selected from a user.

After step 408 or step 412, it is determined whether the ordered contact information is retrieved by referring to the information collected in step 400 (step 414). If not, the search error or service status is displayed (step 416). If found, the contact information is displayed or downloaded (step 418).

As described above, according to the present invention, in accordance with the proliferation of wireless and online Internet users, the present invention supports to easily obtain the information of the other party to find in a situation where the exchange of information between each other is expanded, and more broad and efficient Internet business for Internet business operators. There is an advantage of enabling it.
