In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a member recruitment step of recruiting members by opening a website linked to an Internet server, and storing member information including members' gender, contact information, and preference information for each member. An information database construction step, a character information database construction step of storing character information including character name, initial shape, and growth shape for each character for each character, and whether the member is controlled by the control of the Internet server when the member accesses the website. A member authentication step of checking, a character selection step of selecting a character from a character information database by selection of a member authenticated in the member authentication step, and the character selection step if the member accesses the wireless Internet through a mobile communication device; The shape of the selected character is displayed in each service on the wireless internet service screen. New software is displayed on the menu, and the mobile communication device software is transmitted to the member's mobile device in order to display the character of the growth shape in the corresponding menu according to the number of times the user selects a particular menu or the usage time. Character software transmission characterized in that it comprises a step.

Another feature of the present invention is that the character selection step selects a character from the member information of the member of the member information database under the control of the Internet server.

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

1 illustrates a configuration of a method for providing a wireless internet service using a character according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a system for implementing a method for providing a wireless internet service using a character according to the present invention.

First, a system for implementing a method for providing a wireless Internet service using a character according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The system includes an Internet server 10, a member information database 11, a character information database 12, a wired Internet 20, a wireless Internet 21, a member computer system 30, and a member mobile communication device 40. It is composed of

The Internet server 10 is a computer system connected to the wired Internet 20 and the wireless Internet 21 to control transmission and reception of information (data).

The wired Internet 20 transmits and receives information through HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) which is a communication protocol used to exchange hypertext documents on the Internet.

The wireless Internet 21 is a communication protocol for standardizing a method in which mobile communication devices 40 such as a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA) can be used for internet access such as e-mail, voice, and image transmission. It transmits and receives information through WAP (Wireless Application Protocol).

The member information database 11 and the character information database 12 operate in conjunction with the Internet server 10 and include an information storage device capable of writing and reading stored information.

The member computer system 30 refers to a computer system capable of transmitting and receiving information (data) through the wired Internet 20.

Next, a detailed configuration of a method for providing a wireless Internet service using a character according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

As shown in Figure 1, the present invention is the member recruiting step (S10), member information database building step (S20), character information database building step (S30), member authentication step (S40), character selection step (S50), character software It consists of a transmission step (S60).

The member recruiting step (S10) establishes an Internet server 10, which is a computer system that controls the respective steps collectively, and establishes a website linked to the Internet server 10, thereby establishing a wired / wireless Internet 20 on the website. At step 21, members are recruited.

The member information database construction step (S20) is a member including personal information such as name, gender, age, mobile phone number of the member and preference information such as color, flora and fauna, hobby, etc. under the control of the Internet server 10. The step of storing the information for each member.

In the character information database construction step (S30), the character, size, color, and shape of the character provided to the member is divided into a plurality of steps, and the size, color, or shape of the character is changed in each step. Character information including the growth pattern is stored for each character.

In one character, it is preferable that the initial shape and the growth shape of each stage have a series of associations in the shape or concept. For example, the initial shape may be formed as a 'sprout', and the growth shape may be expressed by dividing the process in which the 'sprout' becomes larger or changed into a tree in several steps, and also increases in size without changing the shape. In addition, the growth pattern of the phases may be related by increasing the concentration of colors from light to dark of the same series.

The member authentication step (S40) is a process of checking whether the member is the member when the member accesses the website linked to the Internet server 10 and is controlled by the Internet server 10.

The character selection step (S50) is a step of selecting (selecting) a character from the character information database by a member who has been authenticated in the member authentication step (S40), each of which is a separate character for each service menu of the character or wireless Internet service screen It is desirable to be able to select a character. That is, a separate character can be selected for each service selection menu, and a separate or identical character can be displayed on a connection screen, an initial screen, and a service screen such as a mobile game or an online game.

In addition, the character selection step (S50) may automatically select a specific character from the member information stored in the member information database 11 under the control of the Internet server 10, that is, the gender, preference of the member The specific character is automatically selected by the control of the Internet server 10 according to predetermined criteria from the member information such as color, flora and fauna, hobby, and the like.

In addition, in a mobile game driven by software downloaded to a mobile communication device or an online game that can be played by a large number through the wired / wireless Internet 20 and 21, changes in accordance with the level of the game user, etc. among games ( The character to grow) may be selected in the character selection step (S50) and configured to be used in the member's mobile communication device 40.

The character software transmission step (S60) shows the shape of the character selected in the character selection step (S50) to each service menu of the wireless Internet service screen, that is, at a corresponding position for each service menu, and the member has a specific service. Depending on the number of times the user clicks (clicks) the menu or the usage time, the character's shape is converted into a growth shape corresponding to the number of times or the usage time, and the software for the mobile communication device is controlled. 40) using a short message service (SMS).

The present invention is not limited to the above-described specific preferred embodiments, and various modifications can be made by any person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims. Of course, such changes will fall within the scope of the claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a member selects and uses a specific menu, the character grows step by step, thereby increasing the intimacy and affinity for the wireless Internet service, and using the wireless Internet service for growing the character. The utilization rate can be improved.

In addition, characters can be combined with a monotonous text menu to form a more visualized wireless Internet service screen.
