Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for operating a user designated file on a web page is provided to display a file on a corresponding web server without clicking, searching, or downloading a web page corresponded on the file when reading the file. CONSTITUTION: A user connects to a web page having a program script(41). The web page checks whether a set waiting time is reached by counting a no-responding period from the final event(a mouse movement, a keyboard press, a remote controller press) of the user(42). If the set waiting time is reached, a set file is operated(43) and the user watches the file being operated on the web page. If a user event is generated during the counting process, that is, before the waiting time, a previous web page is displayed. A server checks whether an event of the user is generated while the set file is operated(44). If any event is not caught, a file operating state is maintained continuously. If an event is generated, an operation of the set file is stopped(45).

Description

{METHOD FOR EXECUTING A USER INDICATED FILE ON WEB PAGE}

The present invention relates to a method of operating a user specified file on a web page.

The Internet World Wide Web (WWW) service, which has already become a source of information and part of life for many people, allows remote client system users to send specific content to a server system (web server or website). Making a request, the server is mainly a way of transmitting the visual web page information to the user. When the client requests information from a specific WWW service, the client may receive the desired information by transmitting location information called a URL to the server. In such an environment, there is a problem that only one URL of a specific server system can provide the same contents to users who are geographically different (eg, North America and Asia) or different languages (eg, English and Korean). .

Some web servers allow users to pre-select information about their region, age group, hobbies, interests, etc., and provide the user with content that has been edited in relation to the information already selected when the user later accesses it. Also give. Such personal information is provided by using the user's IP address or cookie information. This approach can be said to support a personalized service for each user in a web server to which multiple users are connected.

Most WWW services consist of a one-way communication, where the client receives information provided by the server in one-way communication. However, certain WWW services allow users to store their own image files on the server. When you connect later, you may be able to see your saved images or files.

In order to operate the files saved by the individual on the server, you need to access the web page where the saved file is located and click the mouse. Also, the user may have to download the file to his PC and use the specific SW. .

An object of the present invention is to view a file stored by an individual or a file presented by a server in a server that provides a WWW service, and the user does not have to search for a webpage where the file is stored or download it to his or her PC. It is to be displayed on the server without any action such as a click.

The present invention to achieve the above object

On the client system, displaying the setting page to a user who accesses a website on the Internet; And setting information selected by the user, the setting information including a type of a file to be operated on a web page, a specific web page on which the file is to be operated, an operation waiting time of the file, and a frequency of the operation. Transmitting to the web server together with the group identifier of the group to which the group belongs;

On the web server system, receiving the setting information; and if the setting information is new information, storing the new information in the database; if the setting information is additional information, updating the previous setting information stored in the database; And completing a program script for each individual or group by using the setting information as an input variable and inserting the file into a specific web page in which the file is to be operated.

The file automatically operates when an event of a user or a member of a group to which the user belongs does not occur during the file operation waiting time on the web page on which the file is to be operated. to provide.

The event includes an act of transmitting an electric signal wirelessly to an external system such as a mouse movement, a mouse click, a keyboard press, a remote control press, and the like. The client system is a computer, a portable telephone, or any other device connected to the Internet, and includes receiving means for receiving website information, such as a web browser.

The type of file to be operated may be an image, video, sound, game, or other executable file, or two or more files may be combined.

The method of initiating the operation of a file is automatically executed without the user's intention when the user's last event on the set webpage is reached from the user's last event, and the file is operated by the state of the client system, It can be persisted regardless of size, browser activation or deactivation. The user may have the file being operated displayed at a designated location of a web browser displaying a web page or displayed in front or in part of the browser.

In the present invention, a plurality of files can be set to be operated based on the order or time zone for a single web page in a website, and the user can control the waiting time and the number of operations for the various files on the setting information screen, respectively. Can be. In addition, the previously set file can be deleted, and a single user can set a file to be operated on each web page for multiple web pages.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of providing personalized web content by assigning a personal identifier. The user inputs 10 an address of a web resource using a browser. At this time, the user's URL is received by the web server 11 and the web server searches for the file 12 to transmit the requested file and transmits the appropriate file using the HTTP 13 protocol. Through this process, the user can view the initial screen 14 of the specific website on the browser. After this process, the user inputs his or her ID and password to inform the web server of his or her input (15 '). Reading of the personal information is first received by the personal identifier 16 of the web server, and the web server searches the database 17 to identify existing user information and assigns a user identifier. Based on this identifier, the personal screen combiner 18 combines the screens preset by the individual. The combined screen is transmitted to the user so that the user can view the information 19 desired by the individual.

2 shows a process of setting a user-specified file on a web page for each user. First, the user accesses a website, logs in with a personal ID (21), and is assigned a personal identifier from a server. If the user wants to set a custom file on the web page, the user accesses a screen for entering a setting environment, that is, a setting web page (22). The user first selects a file to be operated on a web page (23). You can select files that are managed on your PC or provided by a web server. The file may generally be an image file, and a video or sound file may be registered. Next, the user selects a web page on the website where the file is to be operated (24). For example, a user may wish to operate a file in a news section he frequently visits within a website, and another user may wish to operate a file in a marketing information section that he always opens. After setting the web page on which the file is to be operated, the user selects the number of operations for the file to be operated (25), and selects the time to wait for the file to be operated (26). For example, the user may set the file 'My Photo.jpeg' to be operated once after 15 seconds of waiting time on the web page of 'Marketing.html'. According to the setting details so far, when the user accesses the marketing section of the server, the 'my photo.jpeg' image is operated only once after 15 seconds of waiting time. If the user wants to add the 'My Photo.jpeg' image file one more time in the same marketing webpage (27) so that the operation is performed twice, the new time is added (25). It is sufficient to set (26) the operation waiting time of. Of course, if the user additionally sets a new file `wife picture.jpeg 'file in the marketing section, the entire database storage history process 28 may be additionally performed. This series of steps completes the custom file setup on the web page (29).

User input items from the setting target file selection step 23 to the exposure number addition step 27 are stored for each individual identifier of the user in the database of the server.

When the user sets the setting information, the server generates a program script that enables the file operation on the web page based on the user setting details. The outline of this process can be described as the personalization work of the script that has been created and waits for input of user-specific configuration information (variable input). This process is illustrated in FIG. 3. The user accesses the website and enters a personal ID and password to log in the user (31). After user login, a personal identifier is assigned (32). The server searches the database for setting details of the user based on the identifier of the user. The server retrieves (33) the web page file name that the user wants to operate the file and retrieves the file name for the web screensaver (34). In addition, the server retrieves the setting history that stores the rule in which the file operates, that is, file operation waiting time and operation number (35). The retrieved values are converted into variables and used as input variables in the file action program script to complete the script for the individual (36). Finally, the server inserts the completed script into the target web page file (37). Through this process, the operation program of the personalized file on the web page set by the user is completed (38).

4 illustrates an operation sequence of a file that is actually operated after the process illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is performed. The user accesses 41 the web page (37 in FIG. 3) in which the program script (36 in FIG. 3) inserted by the present invention is inserted. In the web page viewed by the user, the non-response period is counted from the time of the user's last event (mouse movement, keyboard press, remote controller press, etc.) to check whether the preset waiting time is reached (42). When the user's non-response period reaches the set value, the set file is operated (43) and the user sees the file being operated on the web page. The user's response is displayed during the counting, and if the user event occurs before the setting value, the waiting time, the original web page can be viewed. While the set file is in operation, the server checks whether an event of a user has occurred (44). If no event is captured, the file operation state is continuously maintained. If an event occurs, the set file is stopped (45).

According to the present invention, when a user-specified file is automatically operated on a web page, if a specific action such as a mouse movement, a mouse click, or a keyboard press is performed during a user's event, another operation related to the file is performed. If an event other than a specific action occurs, the operation of the file may be stopped. Examples of other actions involving a file include moving to another site linked to the file.

5A to 5E show an actual user registration process scenario based on the present invention. When the user accesses the www.daum.net site as shown in the drawing, the user is notified whether the user is connected through the login process 51. 5B and 5C show setting details of individual file operations of user A and user B, respectively. In case of User A, the 'dog.jpg' file is set to operate after 15 seconds of waiting time in the weather section of www.daum.net. In case of User B, the file 'car.jpg' is placed in the same weather section. The waiting time was set to 10 seconds. 5D shows an image of the 'dog.jpg' file, and 5e shows an image of the 'car.jpg' file.

6A to 6D show the actual process of the file operation on the web page according to the setting information of FIGS. 5B and 5C. Users A and B access and log in to the www.daum.net site (FIG. 6A). After this process, the server recognizes whether the user A and the user B are connected, and continuously observes whether they access the weather section as shown in the settings in FIGS. 5B and 5C. When user A and user B access the weather section, respectively (Figure 6b), the server side detects the user's event (mouse movement or keyboard press). If the user A does not generate an event for more than 15 seconds, his browser automatically displays the 'dog.jpg' file according to the value set in FIG. 5B and displays it on the browser screen (FIG. 6C). In case of user B, after accessing the weather section (FIG. 6B), when the user event does not occur for 10 seconds according to the setting details as shown in FIG. 5C, the 'car.jpg' file is displayed inside the browser (FIG. 6D). ). 'dog.jpg' (User A) and 'car.jpg' (User B) disappear immediately when the user's event is recognized, and the browser screen returns to the state before the file operation, i.e. the weather section (Fig. 6B). ).

As described above, in the present invention, a file designated by a user on a web page may be automatically operated using an identifier assigned to each individual. In addition, by linking a personal identifier to a group, the identifier assigned to the group can be used to automatically execute a specific file when one of the members in the group does not generate an event on a particular web page for a certain period of time. It may be. For example, in a site providing various communities, any member belonging to a specific community may use a file (eg, a community name) assigned to the community to create a file that is automatically operated on a web page according to the present invention. It can be set and the effect of the file action is shared among all members. Therefore, all members of the group can enjoy the same effect just by setting a file operation by one person in the group.

On the other hand, the web server side may arbitrarily synthesize information such as an image and text with respect to a file selected by an individual to operate on a web page. In this case, the synthesized information may include advertisement information, a link of an advertiser, and the user may move to the advertiser site by performing a specific action among an event such as a mouse press, a keyboard press, or a remote control press.

In addition, in the present invention, it is possible for an individual to propose setting information for a third party other than the self, and a third party who has proposed the setting information can determine whether to accept the proposal. In this case, the suggestion of the setting information can be delivered using a mail transmission program residing on the server or an external electronic mail. The proposal mail sent by the proposer may include information indicating the proposal details and a button asking whether to accept the proposal. This button is used as a signal to the server that the acceptor accepts or rejects because the connection information to the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program in the web server is embedded. If the other party accepts, the CGI program recognizes this and reflects the proposal. If the proposal is rejected, the above proposal is deleted. Such a CGI program may include setting web page information, application file, application waiting time, and application count information that the proposer desires to automatically perform the installation work when the recipient accepts the request. In addition, when the proposal is validated and the installation is completed, the process may include a process of asking the acceptor for final confirmation or notifying the final setting details.

According to the present invention, a user's file can be set to be automatically operated for a web server providing an Internet service to a plurality of users, so that users who visit the website can display an image or the like that matches their own preferences. It can be operated independently of the page information to maximize the user's satisfaction even during the idle period that can occur during the use of the web. In other words, by allowing the individual to set the screen that the individual enjoys, it is possible to have a natural harmony between the beneficial information provided by the server side and the personal screen set by the user. This allows the website operator to increase the intimacy of the site with individual visitors, thus attracting many Internet users to its site. In addition, a user or a specific group of users can increase the degree of affinity for a website by managing a file related to himself or a group in a unique manner in various web pages in the web server.
