GROUP COMPUTER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BASED ON INTERNET NETWORK AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATING USING THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a group computer communication system and a communication method based on the Internet, and more particularly, a hard disk sharing function and a specific function as well as a function of integrating a messenger, a P2P program, and a groupware program currently provided on a computer. The present invention relates to a group computer communication system and a communication method based on the Internet, which can greatly increase the efficiency of computer communication by providing a concurrency function on files.

In general, a messenger program is used that allows a user to chat using a message when communicating between computers connected on the Internet. Such a messenger program may chat via the same messenger program (eg, Yahoo's instant message) on the wired Internet. The main function of the messenger program is the function of sending a character string and a file to each other, and whether the user is connected to or not connected to the login server of the user who wants to find it. Some messengers support voice chat or chat. By creating a room, multiple subscribers can exchange strings at the same time.

However, most of these messengers are designed to support chatting or text communication over 1: 1, and there are various inconveniences in multi-party meetings or chats.

In addition, some computer users install P2P programs or related programs separately on their computers, and use them to search for necessary files or to exchange data. These P2P programs are used for multi-party chats among users. Search, upload, and download files to share files with each other. In addition, it is possible to connect to a specific server and obtain various necessary information.

However, since these P2P programs are designed for file sharing, the technology of text communication or chatting between two computers is inferior to that of a messenger, and the exchange of 1: 1 messages is not provided. .

In addition, computer users working in the office to install a groupware program or related programs separately on their computers, and use them to send and receive data necessary for work. In general, groupware is created for smooth information exchange and business automation among employees in the company. Each groupware provides functions necessary for business automation, and data exchange between computers with groupware programs that provide these functions is installed. It is possible.

However, most of these groupware programs are inconvenient in that they do not provide efficient communication between users, such as messenger function or P2P function, or file sharing function.

Therefore, in order for a single computer to use all three functions mentioned above, the above three programs must be installed on their own computers, which makes the computer system more complicated and less convenient to use. There was this.

It would be highly desirable if one computer communication method could be developed that would complement the disadvantages of the three programs described above and combine them.

An object of the present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the prior art mentioned above, it is possible to use the image function and the basic functions provided by the Windows operating system at the same time between users connected via the Internet network, a computer connected to the Internet network If the same program is installed between, to provide a group computer communication system and a communication method based on the Internet that can share information about a specific program.

Another object of the present invention is based on the Internet that can provide a picture-to-file data sharing function through a one-to-one or multi-party voice chat function, video chat function, or Paint among functions that general messenger, P2P, groupware does not have The present invention provides a group computer communication system and a communication method.

Another object of the present invention is a group computer communication system based on the Internet, which can directly work on the other party's hard disk through an open area of the other computer connected to the Internet, or use the other's hard disk as its own hard disk. And a communication method.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the group computer communication system based on the Internet according to the present invention, in a system having one or more terminals connected to the wired or wireless Internet network, each terminal is a user A central processing unit (CPU) for controlling the overall operation of the system according to an input control signal, a hard disk for storing a specific program and loading a program under the control of the central processing unit (CPU), and Under the control of the central processing unit (CPU), the memory unit (RAM) reads and executes main codes of a specific program stored in the hard disk, and accesses to the Internet network by a control signal applied from the central processing unit (CPU); And a LAN card unit for providing an interface for exchanging data with a counterpart terminal connected to the Internet network. The memory unit (RAM) is provided with a program for selectively providing one or more functions of text chat, voice chat, video chat, data communication, file sharing function, simultaneous operation function, the central processing unit (CPU) Reads a program loaded in the memory unit RAM and controls the corresponding function to be executed according to the read result.

According to the characteristics of the present invention, by using a small computer such as a PDA or a mobile phone connected to a specific server on the wired Internet to obtain the necessary information, search for the connected users, share the necessary files or information with each other, It provides a function to select and use the chat between 1: 1 and many-to-many between them.

It also provides one-on-one or multi-party voice chat, video chat, and multi-picture picture data sharing function, which is not a function of general messenger, P2P, and groupware.

In addition, when the same program is installed between computers connected to each other on the Internet, computer users can share information about the program. In other words, if the explorers are installed in the same way, if one user runs a specific program, the other computer will run automatically and show the same screen.If the same function is shared among users, the output screen for the same function and Input data is also shared with each other.

1 is a view for schematically illustrating the provision of multimedia and data communication between computers connected to a wired or wireless Internet network according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, personal computers (PCs) 20 and 40 are shown as personal communication means, but a new program can be installed and a next-generation personal mobile phone, PDA, or general computer which can be connected to a wired or wireless Internet network 30. And the like.

2 is a block diagram of a group computer communication system based on the Internet according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a group computer communication system based on the Internet of the present invention includes a keyboard 21 and a mouse 21a for inputting a user's control command, and a computer signal according to a control signal input from the keyboard. A central processing unit (CPU) 22 for controlling overall operation, a hard disk 23 for storing a specific program and loading a program under the control of the central processing unit (CPU) 22, and a central processing unit Under the control of the CPU 22, according to the control signals of the memory unit (RAM) 24 and the central processing unit (CPU) 22, which read and execute main codes of specific programs stored in the hard disk 23, A counter computer 25 connected to the Internet network 27 or connected to the Internet network 27 by a control signal applied by the CPU 22 to display the processed data to the user; 40) to exchange data with LAN card unit 26, which provides a pacing and consists of a plurality of computers (40 and 50) connected to the Internet network (27).

In particular, the central processing unit (CPU) 22 according to the present invention is a state in which a program on the memory unit (RAM) 24 is intended to operate 1: 1, multi-party chat, simple text chat, or voice or It reads whether it is video or data communication, file sharing, or simultaneous operation, and applies a control command to simultaneously perform one or more of these functions.

Hereinafter, a group computer communication procedure based on the Internet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the user should power on his computer to make the computer normal and then log in.

That is, the user controls the CPU 22 to decrypt an application that can log in to the server 28 among programs stored in the hard disk 23 of the computer. If it is not in the memory section (RAM) 24, it is loaded in the memory section (RAM) 24. Therefore, when the CPU 22 executes an application for logging in to the server 28 in the memory 24, the desired server on the Internet network 27 through the LAN card 26. You can log in at 28.

1) text chat function

When a user of one calling party computer 20 belonging to a group computer wants to chat with a specific counterpart computer 40, the CPU 22 executes an application on the hard disk 23 to execute a chat. The memory unit (RAM) 24 is mounted and executed. (If you have previously chatted and the application is on the memory unit (RAM) 24, you do not need to upload it again.) Therefore, when the program is executed, the user enters the chat window provided through the monitor 25. When a character string is input using the keyboard 21, the input character string is transmitted to the counterpart computer 40 through the LAN card unit 26.

Therefore, the counterpart computer 40 receives the character string transmitted through its LAN card portion. Next, when the chat application is not in the memory unit RAM, it is uploaded to the memory unit RAM, and after confirming that the data received by the central processing unit CPU is data for text chatting, the character string received through the LAN card unit is shown in FIG. 3. As shown in the figure, the output is performed on the screen of the monitor 25.

If the calling computer 20 performs a 1: 1 chat, if the calling computer 20 knows the other party's IP, the calling computer 20 is connected to the other party directly using the IP without using the login server 28. .

However, in the multi-party chat, the user of the calling computer 20 must go through the login server 28. That is, through the login server, a chat room can be opened in a program of a user of a specific computer, or a pre-made chat room can be entered.

For example, in a situation where three computers 20, 40, and 50 are grouped together in the same chat room, and the computer 20 enters and wants two or more different multi-party chats, the user of the calling party's computer 20 The text message inputted by is transmitted to the counterpart computers 40 and 50 at the same time, and the computer 40 and the computer 50 may also transmit a character string to the counterpart computers at the same time. On the other hand, if the user of the computer 20 wants to transmit the desired string only to the specific computer 50, the string may be transmitted only to the desired counterpart using the 1: 1 message transmission or the option of the chat room.

2) voice communication function

The voice communication function uses the LAN card unit 26 in the case of a text chat, but the voice is input through the microphone 29a connected to the sound card unit 29 of the computer, rather than receiving data from the keyboard 21. The point of receiving data is different. Subsequently, the CPU 22 converts the received voice data into digital data that can be processed by a computer, stores the data in the memory unit RAM 24, and stores the stored data in the LAN card unit 26. Through the transmission to the counterpart computer (40).

The other party's computer 40 receives voice data through its LAN card unit, confirms that the voice data is through a central processing unit (CPU), converts the received voice data into a voice signal that can be reproduced by the computer, and is connected with the sound card. Output through the speaker.

3) Video communication function

The voice communication function uses a sound card, a microphone and a speaker, but the video communication function uses a digital camera connected to a computer. In other words, the image data obtained through the digital camera is loaded onto the memory unit (RAM) 24. The central processing unit (CPU) 22 then executes specific arithmetic processing on the image data to compress the data or reduce the size of the data. Then, the video data is transmitted to the counterpart computer 40 via the LAN card section 26. FIG.

The other party's computer 40 receives the image data through its LAN card, and when the CPU determines that the received data is the image data, the other party's computer 40 converts the original data into the original image data and monitors the other's computer 40. Print to the screen.

4) Picture data exchange function using white board

The white board function is different in that the text chat function checks the movement of the mouse 21a instead of the keyboard 21. That is, when the mouse 21a moves, the central processing unit (CPU) 22 of the calling computer 20 draws a picture on the screen according to the movement of the cursor 21a. Data is transmitted to the other party's computer 40 via the LAN card unit 26. FIG.

Therefore, the other party's computer 40 receives the transmitted data through its LAN card, and the CPU determines the type of the received data, and if the received data is data of the whiteboard, the other party's computer ( It shows on the screen of monitor 40).

5) File search and exchange function

In the function of searching and exchanging files, the CPU 22 uploads an application for performing the function of searching and exchanging files to the memory unit RAM 24, if necessary, and executes the searching of files. When searching for a file, the CPU 22 connects to the server 28 or the counterpart computer 40 via the LAN card 26 to bring information about the shared file. Thereafter, the CPU 22 stores the read file in the memory unit RAM 24 or, if necessary, the hard disk 23.

Therefore, when the user checks the list of stored files and needs to download, the user selects a file to download from the list of files on the memory unit (RAM) 24 through the central processing unit (CPU) 22, The desired file is received via the LAN card unit 26 and the file is stored in the hard disk 23.

6) Hard disk sharing between users

Hard disk sharing between users shares a hard disk among users of computers using the same program in a specific directory, in a similar way to sharing in Windows Explorer. That is, the central processing unit (CPU) 22 reads the information of the directory shared by the server 28 or the counterpart computer 40 via the LAN card unit 26 and stores it in the memory unit (RAM) 24. Or, if necessary, the list is stored on the hard disk (23).

When the user wants to share the hard disk 23, the program writes down the information on the hard disk 23 sharing on the hard disk 23, and uploads the same information to the memory unit (RAM) 24 so that the central processing unit (CPU) 22 to decrypt the information about the share. Therefore, it can be seen that the hard disks are shared between users connected to each other through the Internet network 27. That is, the central processing unit (CPU) 22 decrypts the information entered through the LAN card section 26, and if necessary, reads a file on the hard disk of the other party's computer 40 and stores its own memory section (RAM) 24. The hard disk 23 is written to the hard disk 23, and the data in its own hard disk 23 or the memory 24 (RAM) 24 is transferred to the hard disk of the counterpart computer 40 through the LAN card 26. Write it down.

When the hard disk is shared according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent security holes, only a user of a specific computer may be given permission to write or read, or all users may access the password. So that only specific users can access it.

7) Simultaneous work function

Simultaneous work function shows the current situation on the screen of a group computer connected through the Internet. Therefore, it is possible to work 1: 1 or multilaterally, and if necessary, simultaneous work can be performed only between specific users. That is, the central processing unit (CPU) creates a list capable of simultaneous operation, uploads it to its memory unit (RAM), and transfers the information to the counterpart computer through the LAN card unit. The counterpart computer writes down the information received through its LAN card in its own hard disk or memory unit (RAM) and causes the CPU to read data. When a list of simultaneous tasks is created in this way, when an input from one computer is input through an input device such as a keyboard board or a mouse, the CPU interprets the input signal and writes it into its own memory unit (RAM). Then, the information is transmitted to the other computer through the LAN card. The central processing unit (CPU) of the other computer receives the information input through the LAN card and writes it to its own memory unit (RAM) or hard disk.

However, this function is possible only if the other party's programs supporting the task are installed at the same time. Otherwise, the simultaneous task function is not supported.

Moreover, since the range of programs which can work in a provided program differs, there may be a case where simultaneous operation is possible or not possible according to this.

For example, when WordPad is set on two computers 20 and 40 belonging to a group computer, when a user of the computer 20 executes a program such as WordPad and inputs data or retrieves a document, the computer ( In 40), WordPad is automatically executed, and the contents of the file loaded in WordPad by the user of the computer 20 are automatically transmitted to the computer 40 as well. In addition, when the user of the computer 20 modifies the content of WordPad, it is applied to the screen of the computer 40 as it is, and even when the user of the computer 40 is modified, it is transmitted to the screen of the computer 20 as it is. . Such a function can be operated in a multilateral connection rather than 1: 1.

The group computer communication system and communication method based on the Internet according to the present invention described above provide the following effects.

First, it is possible to use the image function and basic functions provided by the Windows operating system simultaneously between users connected through the internet network, and to share information about a specific program when the same program is installed between computers connected to the internet network. do. Therefore, the users of the computer can prevent the waste of program resources of the computer system by executing only one program according to the present invention, without executing several separate programs.

Second, among the functions that general messenger, P2P, and groupware do not have, one-to-one or multi-party voice chat function, video chat function, and multi-picture image data sharing function can be provided through Paint, which greatly enhances the convenience of computer users. I can increase it

Third, it is possible to directly work on the other party's hard disk through the open area of the other computer connected to the Internet, or use the other's hard disk as its own hard disk, thereby greatly increasing the sharing and efficiency of the memory.
