Description

Internet Remote Control {Internet Remote Control}

According to the present invention, when a user selects (clicks) the contents of a remote control made by a software or a web browser provided by an operator, the result of clicking on a web browser other than the remote control is displayed, thereby enabling the user to solve the Internet surfing on the remote control. It is a convenient and convenient way, and it is possible to market various advertisements through the remote control and to promote the effect of electronic commerce by inducing clicks to specific sites.

There are two types of Internet users who move to their desired sites (including web pages), that is, the Internet surfing method. One is to search through a search engine and click on a search result to move it. The other is to enter a site address that the user is already familiar with or enter it directly through the bookmark function.

First, if you look at the case of a search engine, the new web browser pops up when the user clicks on a search result to go to the desired site, and the current web browser shows how to use it. (E.g. 'Naver', 'Yahoo', 'Empas').

The way that a new web browser pops up is because too many web browsers are displayed on the screen, which hinders the internet surfing environment and the user has to click the close button to close the new window. (FIG. 4)

In the current web browser, the search results disappear because the window is displayed in the current window. Therefore, in order to move to another site of the search results, it is cumbersome to click the other site after moving back to the search results by pressing the back button.

Second, let's look at how users navigate directly to the site and how to use the Favorites feature.

If you go directly to the site, there is a inconvenience that the user must continue to enter the address in the address bar and have to remember the address.

The bookmark feature built into the web browser will not disappear when you move to another site, but because it is only visible on your computer, it will not be available on other computers and will take up an open web browser space and change the design of the bookmark space. There is a limit to this.

The present invention proposes the concept of a remote control to solve the above problems and to improve the user's Internet surfing environment, showing the URL data of the operator and user registered in the database to the remote control to move to the URL, By adding search and entertainment functions to the Internet, the user will have fun and increase efficiency, and introduce an e-commerce system linked to the operation of the remote control.

First, the most important thing for this is the concept of remote control, a new standard in the Internet surfing environment. To this end, the operator must provide a remote control with a search engine in the user's Internet surfing environment. When the user clicks on the contents of the remote control, the result can be displayed in a designated or new web browser, which is the main concept of the Internet remote control (Fig. 1).

Secondly, as a main function of the remote control, the operator classifies and stores web pages or website URLs to be shown to users (Fig. 2), and users store their favorite web pages or website URLs (Fig. 3). The data registered in the database is shown and the URL linked to the remote control is made visible in the designated or new browser.

Thirdly, as an added function of the remote control, it adds entertainment functions such as bulletin board, music streaming, music video, and chat to the remote control and increases the utilization of the remote control by controlling the size of the remote control freely according to each function. Fig. 7)

Fourth, the most important thing is to naturally combine the functions of the e-business, that is, the profit structure, with the remote controller (Figs. 8, 9, 10a, 10b and 11).

Fifthly, it is possible to increase the reliability of the category and the site list registered by the operator so that the remote control can act as a compass on the sea of information (Fig. 4).

11 is an example of applying the function of the site when expanding the remote control of the present invention, the picture of the actual screen

When described in detail by the accompanying drawings to achieve the above object is as follows.

To apply the concept of the first remote control, the operator must provide the user with a remote control.

To operate the remote control, the user can install the software distributed by the operator and operate the remote control or operate the remote control when entering the operator's site. At this time, the provided remote control is provided by an operator-distributed software or a commonly used web browser (eg, 'Explorer', 'Netscape') and includes a search function. (Figure 6)

In addition, the initialization position when the remote control is operated does not interfere with the user's surfing of the Internet, and for the sake of efficiency, a specific position (eg, (X coordinate, Y coordinate), (0,0), (500) designated by the operator on the user's monitor screen) , 0) ...), and the size of the remote control should not be larger than the browser in which the output will be displayed.

An implementation of the second remote control's main function is to store the URLs of the operator's and user's web pages or web sites in a database and display them as a list of searches or remote controls and display them in a designated or new browser when a user clicks the URL on the remote control. do.

The operator database can be searched by subject name field, index authority field, site name field, URL field, classification name field, and classification code field (eg, 'Yahoo', 'http://www.yahoo.com', ' Engine '(Fig. 2) and the user database is composed of a site name field, a URL field, and a classification name field (eg,' Yahoo ',' http://www.yahoo.co.kr ',' search engine ') (FIG. 3)

In the URL field, the address of a web page or website is registered. In the site name field, a name for the URL is entered. A classification field has a structure of data by allowing an operator or a user to group several URLs into a specific classification desired by the user.

If you look at the operation of each field on the remote control, the record of the site name field stored in the classification is listed using the classification field, the site name field is linked to the contents of the URL field, and when the user clicks the linked items, the designated web browser Or the result is displayed in a new web browser.

First, a new web browser means that the result is displayed in a new web browser when a specific site name is clicked on the remote control like the existing search engine method.

The designated web browser is not a new web browser displayed when the user clicks a specific site name on the remote control, but a specific web browser designated by the operator. The result is continuously displayed here. If no web browser is activated on the user's screen or no web browser designated by the operator is running, a new web browser designated by the operator is created. Since the result is continuously displayed in the designated web browser, the user can surf the Internet without creating or closing a new web browser (FIG. 5).

Whether or not the output is displayed in a new web browser or a designated web browser is a matter of choice for users, but given the remote control purpose and the efficiency of surfing, the basic mode designates the result to be continuously displayed in the designated web browser.

As a sub-function of the third remote control, the Internet remote control not only functions like a remote control like a general-purpose TV remote control, but also a search function, an MP3 player function that allows the remote control to listen to music, and a video function that can watch music videos and movies. Can be switched to. (Figure 7)

In addition, the size of the remote control should be smaller than the browser in which the result will be displayed so as not to disturb the user's surfing. Therefore, the size of the remote control is changed to increase the size of the remote control itself into a general website. Since the writing or chat also increases the utilization of the remote control (Fig. 11).

Fourth, there are the following methods to apply the present invention to e-Businesss.

First, when the user clicks on a specific site name on the remote control, the browser where the result is displayed can be displayed after moving the advertisement before moving to the specific site (Fig. 9).

Second, the advertisement can be displayed on the remote controller itself (Fig. 10a).

Third, in the systematic and classified site list provided to the remote controller, the user can insert a site intended by the operator to induce a user's click, thereby receiving an advertising fee from the inserted site. (FIG. 10A)

Fourth, the operator can induce a user shopping by highlighting a specific shopping mall on the remote control. The specific shopping mall also includes a shopping mall of the operator (FIG. 10B).

Fifth, when a user searches with a search keyword (eg, 'laptop', 'insurance', 'legal counseling') on the remote control, the contents are listed on the remote control and the specified web browser is moved to a specific site. Therefore, it is possible to earn an advertisement fee from a specific site and earn a shopping profit (FIG. 8).

Sixth, since the remote control has an additional function, whenever the function changes, you can place advertisements that match the function and sell contents and products that match the function. For example, it is possible to promote the ringtone down during the audio function and to promote and sell the latest record (FIG. 7).

Last but not least, it improves the reliability of the classification and site list registered by the operator. The operator updates and manages the site classification and list that is basically provided to the users on the remote control through various media and site aggregation information and search programs. shall. By doing so, the remote control acts as a compass on the sea of information Internet, thereby obtaining the reliability of the users.

First, the present invention applies the concept of a remote control to the Internet, which is a sea of information, thereby acting as a compass in the user's internet surfing environment.

The list provided by the remote controller is searched and sorted through the objective data by the operator, and the registered site information is provided through the search and classification, so users can go directly to the popular and useful sites in the field without worrying about the remote control alone.

Internet users can also surf their favorite sites by registering them on the remote.

Second, it can increase the integration, concentration and speed of internet surfing.

By specifying the default mode of the remote control, the result can be viewed only in a specific browser, which prevents multiple web browsers from appearing on the site as it would with a traditional search engine.

Third, the operator can obtain stable profits by linking the remote control with the e-business.

It provides users with a remote control which is a convenient and efficient tool for surfing the Internet, and the operator can connect with e-business to create a lot of added value.
