METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING NEWS ON DEMAND}

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing personalized information, and more particularly, to a method and system for providing personalized information for providing a user with news information extracted to a desired place at a desired time using various delivery media. will be.

In the recent flood of information due to the proliferation of the Internet and the World Wide Web, customized information services are developed to deliver only information that meets user preferences and interests from various information sources in order to meet users' personal information access needs. to be. In other words, the raw information collected from various information sources is periodically indexed, and sections of users' interests, keywords, and delivery-related information are registered as personal profiles, and filtered using a professional searcher to be delivered daily by email or personally. Provide in the form of a custom web page. This allows the user to receive the desired information every day in the form of a push without having to find and navigate the information.

With the development of information and communication, services that provide users with news, magazines, and various web contents through the Internet and wireless terminals are becoming common. In other words, the user can access a site that professionally provides information such as news and magazines to obtain information provided by the site. The method of always searching for the information that the user wants to obtain directly is inconvenient to wait a lot because the connection is delayed when the Internet user is congested. In addition, although the user accesses the site by looking at the title, there is no inconvenience in that the user needs to access another site because there is no news information. In addition, there is an inconvenience that can not receive the news information desired by the user through the means (e-mail, web browser, cellular phone, etc.) desired by the user at the time desired by the user.

In order to solve the above inconvenience, a push-type e-mail service that automatically retrieves news or information according to a user-specified site and keywords, collects the news and information required by the user, and provides the same to the user. .

This push type e-mail service allows a user to select a preferred side from among categories such as politics, economics, and social side, and the article information about the preferred side at the time when the user's computer terminal is available at the site such as the news information. Extract it and send it to the user.

The push-type e-mail service must be supplied with article information using a predetermined protocol by a contract with a news or magazine information providing site, or a newspaper information providing site using a code implemented by a human hand on a term basis. Extract article information from. Therefore, when the newspaper information providing site is changed, there is a problem that the already written code is not useful.

In addition, the push type e-mail service can provide the retrieved news information to the user only through a limited means such as a web browser or an e-mail. There is a problem in that news information retrieved using various means such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an e-book, a word processor, a portable document format (PDF) reader, and the like cannot be provided. .

On the other hand, there is a conventional technology that improves the domestic Patent Publication No. 2000-038979 (name of the invention: "a news information collection system and collection method for supporting mobile computing").

The Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-038979 discloses a target for extracting article information by a simple and easy method such as pattern matching technology while using a noise canceling technique that is resistant to changes in a website from a periodically changing newspaper or magazine information providing site. It provides a news information collection system and collection method that enables you to extract the desired information in real time by pointing out.

However, the Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-038979 cannot output news information or the like in a form desired by the user, and can provide the retrieved news information to the user only through a limited means such as a PDA. That is, it is not possible to provide news information retrieved using various means such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an e-book, a word processor, a portable document format (PDF) reader, or the like. There is this.

The prior art associated with the present invention is PCT International Publication No. WO 98/45788 (name of the invention: "METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY FORMATTING A DOCUMENT ACCORDING TO DATA OBJECT TYPE").

The PCT International Publication No. WO 98/45788 discloses text information, such as newspaper articles and magazine articles, in a format of a document in a predetermined format before transmission, and outputs the text information in a predetermined format using predetermined page structure information in units of pages. do. It extracts and prioritizes only object data such as text, still images, and videos from news information composed of various sizes and various kinds of web documents, and assigns the object data to each of the priority formats. Format and send according to). A provider of news information or the like of a website stores in advance a plurality of format commands capable of generating a page structure of a document in a page structure file (psf). The news information provider transmits a tag recording the page number, priority, and video file information in addition to the object data. Using the received data object, tag and psf file, the desired news information is displayed to the user by conforming to the page structure described in the psf file.

The PCT International Publication No. WO 98/45788 pre-formats a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) or PDF file before transmitting news information or magazine information on a conventional World Wide Web. In case of transmission, the transmission data size increases and the transmission time increases due to the additional transmission of the formatting data. In addition, by suggesting a page structure of a certain format, when the user wants to deliver the desired type of news information to the user, the layout of the transmitted document must be changed whenever the content of the document to be delivered is changed. The data had to be changed to improve the problem.

However, the PCT International Publication No. WO 98/45788 cannot provide news information to the user in various forms desired by the user. By using dedicated viewer software or word processor software, it simply displays news information, etc., which is formatted in the above format at the time desired by the user. That is, it was inconvenient to provide customized news information desired by the user in a desired form. In particular, it is not possible to provide personalized news information desired by a user to a cellular phone or PDA, e-mail, e-book, or PDF file when the user is on the move.

Large newspapers are losing their traditional offline markets to online newspapers. This trend will intensify in the future as the number of online news service users increase as the Internet population spreads. For this reason, the existing offline newspapers are providing their own news and contents online, but as the deficit of online services accumulates, the necessity of paying for online services is urgently emerging.
