More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for connecting a client and a CP server through an operator server through a wireless Internet, and providing a meeting service based on location information of the client.

Background of the Invention

Current wireless mobile communication networks (or networks) based on wireless application protocol (WAP) allow users to navigate the Internet world freely from space constraints. The WAP refers to a specification of communication protocols for standardizing how wireless devices such as cellular phones and pagers can be used for internet access such as e-mail, web, newsgroups, and IRC. Although there are not as many users as wired Internet yet, it is expected that wireless will replace wired Internet in the near future. The reason why the current wireless Internet, which still has many problems to solve for the better service of the wireless Internet, can be developed more than the wired internet in the future is the convenience of the wireless internet beyond the space constraint. As users of the wireless Internet expand due to its convenience, telecommunication operators (eg, New Century Communications, SK Telecom, LG Telecom, KTF) are spurring the development of wireless Internet contents through cellular phones or PCS phones. In addition, the CP (contents provider) has emerged to develop various contents that are provided in a wireless Internet environment.

The present invention relates to CP, and more particularly, to contents for a meeting service provided by CP in a wireless Internet environment. Conventionally, the meeting service, which has been performed in a wireless Internet environment, was pre-selected using the personal information of a member subscribed to a CP server, and focused on meeting services between terminal users. That is, the service operation was possible only when the user sets the location, not the location center. The main reason that wireless internet users use wireless internet instead of wired internet is because they can escape the space limitation. However, the conventional meeting service is a factor that hinders the freedom of the space originally desired by the user by restricting the space of the user.

In order to solve the above problems and provide a more convenient meeting service, the present invention provides a meeting service based on the location of wireless Internet users based on their own location without using a separate location. I would like to.

An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for providing a meeting service according to location information of a client in a mobile communication network.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method, wherein location information of a region to which a client belongs in a mobile communication network is provided in real time when the client accesses the network.

Still another object of the present invention is to temporarily store information newly generated while a service is in progress at a CP server in consideration of a limited memory of a client, and then store new information generated up to that time at the end of the service. To provide.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a system and method for providing a service of the present invention to a client by establishing a communication line in a process for each telecommunication company in order to process information transmitted differently according to various service providers providing a wireless Internet service. To provide.

The location information transmitted to the operator server 20 is transferred to the location information server 30 again, and the location information server 30 outputs the location information from the database of the transmitted location information data. The output detailed position information is transmitted to the calculator 43 of the CP server 40 through the operator server 20.

The CP server 40 transfers the detailed location information transmitted from the operator server 20 to the data server 50 and temporarily stores the detailed location information in the storage unit 15.

Conventionally, the meeting service in the wireless Internet environment has been implemented by focusing on the meeting service between terminal users by selecting a location in advance through personal information of the client. That is, the service operation was possible only if the client had to set the location, not the location center.

On the other hand, the present invention provides a meeting service through the above location information. Therefore, since the meeting service is performed based on the location information provided by the CP server 40, the service can be provided more conveniently from the client's point of view.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a meeting service through the system of the present invention will be described based on the above location information. 3 illustrates the flow of the meeting service from the establisher's point of view, and for convenience of understanding, the screen displayed on the establisher's terminal and the order thereof are shown. 4 shows the flow of meeting services in the same way as FIG.

3 and 4, the method of the meeting service provided by the present invention will be described in brief. The present invention relates to a meeting service using mobile communication network location information. Joining a meeting service using a wireless terminal. The service can be divided into opening and participating service spaces for meetings. The establishment may be established by dividing the establishment into a corresponding region and another region by using the establisher's location information of the wireless terminal (109). In addition, the participation is a method of selecting and opening contents in the position of the user through the same system as the establishment.

The establishment and participation are largely classified by date (107, 134), hourly (108), and theme (110, 138). By day (104, 134) is divided into today and the week, the time 107 is divided into six by four hours based on the day. Themes include drinking music, watching movies, dancing dances, traveling, listening to music, driving, and playing games. The above items are set by the founders and the participants only select. In addition to this, there may be a lightning bolt to be established by selecting only the time and the theme, and the embodiments may be changed within the scope of not impairing the technical idea of the present invention.

Referring to the meeting service method of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the wireless Internet user 10 is connected to the meeting service of the present invention through a service provider 20 that provides a wireless Internet service. In other words, the user 10 using the service of the present invention connects to the server 40 of the CP company providing the service and selects a meeting service.

In the first connection, the CP server 40 requests the provider 20 for header information of the terminal. Preferably, it is preferable to precede the authentication process of the user before requesting the header information. The authentication process is performed by the information unit 53 of the data server 50. When the service request of the user occurs, the information unit 53 selects data from the database to form a screen for inputting items necessary for authentication, for example, a user ID and a password, from the related database, and the CP server 40. ) To the terminal.

The ID and password input by the user are determined from the information of the user stored in the information unit 53 according to the information input through the terminal 10 to determine whether the user is a registered member. If the member is not a member, the member is encouraged to join the service before providing the service.

After performing the user authentication step, the user's location information described above is confirmed. The identified user's location information is passed to the storage unit 55 of the data server 50 and temporarily stored. In order to obtain the location information of the user and to process the information delivered differently according to the operator, the management unit 51 transmits a process suitable for the service to the operation unit 43 using the carrier classification information.

The transmitted detailed location information is output on the screen in text form to the delivery unit 13 of the terminal. After confirming the location information of the terminal user, the terminal user transmits the confirmation information to the calculation unit 43. After authentication of the user and confirmation of the user location information, the calculation unit 43 stores the information generated so far in the storage unit 55 so that the user can use the service. The storage unit 55 temporarily stores new information generated while the user performs the service. The reason why the data server 50 is configured in this way is that the terminal has a limited memory and thus needs a temporary storage capable of performing a buffer function. In the present invention, the storage unit 55 is provided in the data server 50 to temporarily store new information generated by the user.

The information temporarily stored in the storage unit 55 is again transmitted to the management unit 51, and the detailed information according to the service is transmitted to the delivery unit 41 of the CP server 40 using the information of the storage unit 55. do. The CP server 40 processes the information transmitted from the management unit 51 in accordance with the user's terminal format with the process transmitted in the previous step by the management unit 51 to transmit the data to the transmission unit 13 of the user terminal 10. Will be printed). For example, suppose in the previous step the user has selected the time '03 / 15 / Thu '107. Then, the CP server 40 passes the time information transmitted from the terminal 10 to the data server, and selects the information constituting the part number 108 of FIG. 3 and outputs it to the user's terminal.

Based on the information stored in the management unit 51, the management unit 51 receives the data transmitted from the terminal transfer unit 13 from the operation unit 43 and temporarily stores the data in the storage unit 55, The information corresponding to the information is transmitted to the terminal 10 through the delivery unit 41 of the CP server 40. When all operations desired by the calculation unit 43 are completed through the management unit 51, the calculation unit 43 receives the input completion confirmation transmission from the transfer unit 13 of the terminal and transmits all the information to the storage unit.

The transmitted information is transmitted back to the management unit 51 to transmit the correct data input from the delivery unit 41 of the CP server 40 to the delivery unit 13 of the terminal. After checking the data selected by the user in the terminal 10, if all input information is correct, the user transmits the confirmation information that the information input is correct to the calculation unit 43. The operation unit 43 confirms the information entered from the terminal 10, deletes the temporary storage information of the storage unit 55, and then stores the information of the management unit 51 in the database again. The storage of the management unit is transmitted to the transmission unit 41 of the CP server 40, and outputs the information 111 so far selected by the user to the transmission unit 13 of the terminal 10.

According to the present invention, all users can use the wireless Internet network to provide a network meeting service that can arrange and participate in a space of their own anytime and anywhere. In particular, in terms of being able to use time / space as a user, it is possible to prepare a special meeting space for a user rather than a meeting that is organized in a frame using the freedom of meeting and convenience of a place.

Simple modifications and variations of the present invention can be readily used by those skilled in the art, and all such variations or modifications can be considered to be included within the scope of the present invention.
