Description

Method of using one's private style of writing on computer in on / off line}

The present invention relates to a method of making an individual's font available online or offline. More specifically, the personal font can be freely used on an offline computer as well as freely used online, such as a web page, including mail. It is about how to make it possible.

In recent years, as the era has become a full-fledged information society, the spread of computers that can store and process large amounts of information has spread rapidly, and various applications such as word processors, which facilitate the use of the stored information, have been introduced. It is developed and actively used.

Furthermore, with the establishment of wired / wireless networks, the use of the Internet, the so-called sea of information, has become commonplace as a huge network of networks all over the world, allowing computer users to e-mail and remote computer connections (telnet). , File transfer (FTP), Usenet News, Internet information search (Gopher), Internet conversations and discussions (IRC), electronic bulletin boards (BBS), hypertext information viewing (WWW: World Wide Web) and online games. You can enjoy a variety of services.

In the use of such a computer, a font is used for designing a variety of information in a special style of readability and legibility of characters or pictures, which can be displayed and printed to the user. Information stored in the computer can be read or processed, wired / wireless information communication via the Internet is possible online, along with input and processing of desired commands on various offline applications.

In other words, the font is a unified design character set that can be used in on / offline computers. Currently, the most popular operating system is a true type font with a ttf extension under the Windows environment. .) Is built in by default. For example, the basic fonts that we commonly use are Arial, Prim, Base, and Archery, respectively, which are stored on the computer as Arial.ttf, Rim.ttf, Basi.ttf, and Archer.ttf files. Fonts can be used in various applications.

In recent years, various and unique fonts have been created as True Fonts and are available for free / free download service. Users can access the Internet and download True Fonts with the fonts of the desired fonts and save them in their computers. have.

However, if any user composes an online web page or mail using a unique TrueFont that is stored only on his or her computer, the original typeface is not stored on the computer of the visitor or recipient who wants to see it. It can only be read in the form of basic fonts such as rolls, shoots, backgrounds, and archery.

To this end, web font technology has been introduced. Web font is a conversion of True Font to be usable online, such as the web or mail, and includes information such as the web page path and scope of application of the web font. Therefore, when a user writes a web page or mail using a web font, when a visitor or recipient accesses it, an Internet access program such as the visitor's browser requests the web font, downloads it, and temporarily stores the web font. The effect is the same as that installed on the visitor's computer.

On the other hand, in recent years, the unique personality of the individual is very important, while the true font provided by the operating system is very limited, even though some service providers provide the unique true font, it is still uniform. It's just a typeface.

Accordingly, many users are looking forward to freely using their own handwritten fonts on and off the computer.

The present invention is to meet the above demands, and an object thereof is to provide a method that can freely utilize the typeface of the individual regardless of on / off line.

The present invention is a method for enabling the use of personal fonts on / offline in order to achieve the above object, the font is sent from the service provider provided with a server and a database linked to it is written in the user's font and returned Making web fonts and true fonts according to a personal font of the user based on a form; Storing the web font in the database for each user and transmitting the true font to the user for offline use; Converting the recording contents received from the user into a web font of the user; According to the user's selection, the recorded content converted into the web font is mailed to a recipient designated by the user or displayed on a writable web page of the URL designated by the user on / off the personal font Provides a way to make it available on line.

In this case, the manufacturing of the web font and the true font may include the step of the user connecting to the service provider's server through the Internet and outputting a font writing form provided by the service provider on a sheet of paper; The user rewriting the font creation form output on the paper into his or her own font and converting it into a mail, a fax, or a picture file and returning it to the service provider through a wired or wireless Internet; Characterized in that the service provider extracts the font of the user included in the font creation form and the character code to the web font and true font.

In addition, the font writing form includes a number of special characters, consonants and vowels of Korean, combinations thereof, each syllable of foreign languages, alphabets, numbers, pictures, and symbols as examples. Rewrite each of the views in their own font.

In addition, the step of converting the user's web font sentence, characterized in that the retrieval and recombination corresponding to the recording contents received from the user of the web font of the user recorded in the database, the accompanying drawings The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to.

1 is a network configuration diagram of a method for enabling personal fonts to be utilized on / offline according to the present invention, wherein a service provider 10 may be connected to a plurality of users 30 through the Internet 20. 14 and a database 18 linked thereto.

In this case, the server 14 may include a web page accessible to the user 30 and a program for generating true fonts and web fonts based on fonts for each user 30. It may include a web server 14b for recording the contents created by the web font with a uniform resource locator (URL) to designate, and a mail server 14a capable of transmitting and receiving mail.

The database 18 includes a member information DB 18c for storing simple personal information for each user 30, a font information DB 18b for storing font information for each user 30, and the typeface information. It may include a font DB (18a) for storing the produced fonts and web fonts for each user (30).

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of utilizing a personal font according to the present invention on / offline through the above-described network configuration, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, the user 30 who wants to utilize his / her personal font on / offline logs in by logging into the web page of the service provider 10 through the Internet 20 (St1, St4). The web page of the provider 10 may be provided with a login window for inputting a unique ID and password, and the service provider 10 determines whether the user is the first user through the contents recorded in the login window. (St2)

In other words, in the case of the first user, the user can log in after entering as a member by entering simple personal information including an ID and a password before login (S2), and the personal information recorded by the user 30 is the member information DB (18c). ) Are stored separately for each user 30. (St3, St4)

Therefore, if the user 30 who previously registered as a member enters his or her ID and password in the login window, the service provider 10 searches whether the contents are the same as one of the ID and password stored in the member information DB 18c. The first user can be judged, and if there is a match, the user can skip the registration process again and log in immediately. (St4)

On the other hand, if there is no match, the user is notified of the fact through the web page and the user 30 can log in through the steps of membership registration (St3, St4).

Next, the service provider 10 asks the user 30 who has logged in to the webpage whether the user has completed and returned a font writing form in his or her own font (St5). The user 30 who wants to rewrite the font writing form is returned after completing the font writing form in the font. However, the user 30 clicks the download window provided on the web page to download the font writing form. (St7)

In this case, the font writing style includes various special characters, consonants and vowels of Korean characters, combinations thereof, syllable characters, alphabets, numbers, symbols, pictures, etc. of foreign languages. Include spaces to rewrite each. Accordingly, the user 30 completes the font writing form by re-recording each view in the blank in his or her own font, and returns to the user 30, which will be described in more detail in the corresponding part.

For reference, in this case, the user 30 may return the font writing form to the service provider 10 by using mail or fax, or by scanning the completed font writing form and making it as an image file. (20) It is also possible to transfer to a file transfer service.

Next, the service provider 10 stores the font information described in the received font creation form in the font information DB 18b for each user 30, and then produces a true font based on the font information. )

At this time, as a method of manufacturing True Font, the phase of each symbol or letter is extracted from the typeface of the user 30 recorded in the font creation form through mathematical elements such as straight lines, curves, arcs, and the like, and geometrically represented through the font. A conventional true font manufacturing method of reproducing character code by reproducing outline information of a symbol or letter can be used. In addition, a web font is generated through the True Font manufactured as described above. As a method, a commercial program such as WEFT provided by Microsoft may be used.

In addition, as mentioned above, a program for manufacturing a true font and a web font based on a font of the user 30 may be embedded in the server. The true font and the web font thus produced are fonts for each user 30. It is stored separately in the DB 18a.

Next, the service provider 10 downloads and transmits the completed true font to the user 30. The form may be, for example, a 'user name.ttf' file, so that the user 30 may freely use it offline. (St10, St11)

Meanwhile, since the predetermined time is required for the production of the true font and the web font, the user 30 completes the downloaded font writing form and returns it to the service provider 10, and then accesses the web page again after the guided date elapses. After the login, the service provider 10 again asks the user 30 whether the user has completed and returned a font writing form in his or her own font before. (St1, St4, St5)

At this time, if the user 30 judges that there is no fact that the user completes the font creation form and returns it in his own font, the font preparation form is downloaded and completed again and returned to the service provider 10 (St7, St8). The service provider 10 searches for the 'user name.ttf file' on the computer terminal of the user 30 and downloads it if it does not exist. (St6, St10)

Through the above process, the user 30 can store the True Font produced in his or her own font in a computer terminal, and then the service provider 10 can access the web page regardless of whether the user accesses the web page on offline various applications. Freely use True Font of 'user name.ttf' and print and display (St11)

In addition, the user 30, which already has a file of 'user name.ttf' on the computer terminal, or the user 30 who has downloaded the above file, sends a mail or a web page to a web font written in his or her own font according to a will. For this, a web page of the service provider 10 is provided with a mail writing and web page writing window, so that a mail or a web page can be written. (St6, St12)

First, in the case of the mail, the user 30 clicks the mail writing window as desired.

Then, an e-mail address field in which the address of the mail recipient can be entered into the web page of the service provider 10, an e-mail content field in which the e-mail contents can be written, and a mail compose form including a transmission window and a preview window appear. 30) fill in the mail contents and mail address and click on the transfer window or the preview window (St12).

At this time, the contents of the mail created by the user 30 are described as true fonts stored in the computer terminal of the user 30 such as symbols, numbers or letters, and the service provider 10 is stored in the font DB 18a of the corresponding user 30. By searching for and recombining the symbols, numbers, or letters corresponding to the web fonts, the user 30 may transmit or preview mail contents written in his or her own font. Therefore, the designated recipient receives the contents of the mail written in the web font written in the user's own font (St13, St14).

On the other hand, when the user 30 wants to write to a specific writable web page such as a bulletin board using his or her font, the user clicks on the web page writing window. Then, the user 30 on the web page of the service provider 10 A web page creation form including a URL field for describing the URL of a web page to be written, a web page contents field for describing the contents, and a transmission window and a preview window appears.

Accordingly, the user 30 enters the contents to be written and the URL of the web page to leave the contents, for example, the URL of the bulletin board and clicks the transmission window or the preview window. In this case, the contents written by the user 30 in the contents of the web page of the service provider 10 are described as true fonts stored in the computer terminal of the user 30 such as symbols, numbers, or letters, but the service provider 10 may use font DB ( In the web font of the user 30 stored in 18a), the corresponding text, numbers, or letters are searched for, recombined, and displayed, and the contents written in the user's own font can be recorded or previewed on the web page. (St12, St13, St14)

Therefore, anyone who accesses the URL can see the contents written in the web font written in the user 30 font.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a view showing a part to explain an example of the typeface writing style, and in particular, only a part of the example of the first example of the characters of the Korean Hangul.

As can be seen in the figure, the typeface writing style according to the present invention is described as almost all letters to the base of the base (50), the bottom of each letter is provided with a blank (60). Therefore, the user repeatedly rewrites the text of each view 50 in the blank space 60 at the bottom of his or her own font, which requires a large amount of writing, but in order to obtain true fonts and web fonts closer to the user's font. to be.

That is, in general, when people write letters, even if they are the same consonants or vowels, the form is generally changed according to their location. Are different from each other, It is common to write a different form, even if the same base when writing a separate document such as or a combination of such 'bold'. Therefore, the typeface writing style according to the present invention shows all cases made of consonants, vowels, and combinations of Hangul as examples, thereby implementing true fonts and web fonts closer to the typefaces of individuals.

In this case, what can be described in the typeface writing form according to the present invention is not only consonants and vowels and combinations thereof, but also various special characters, syllable characters such as Japanese or Chinese, combinations thereof, lower and lower case letters, combinations thereof, All kinds of alphabets, numbers, pictures, symbols, etc. in the United States of America are possible, and in particular, it can be any kind that can be recorded, such as non-decipherable ancient words, creative symbols and emoticons in movies or cartoons.

In the above description, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a method of making a personal font according to the present invention available on / offline may have some variation in actual implementation. The accompanying drawings and descriptions thereof are only examples for describing the present invention, and should be included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the technical spirit described in the following claims.

The present invention according to the above description provides a remarkably differentiated computer use environment, such as revealing individuality by allowing the user's typeface to be freely available on / off line. In particular, the present invention can create content using personal fonts such as online mails or web pages, which can give viewers a fresh and fun feeling, and can be used freely offline. There is an advantage that can be expressed deeper.

In addition, the present invention provides an initial typeface that is written to satisfy all cases to be closer to the typeface of the individual in this process, there is an advantage to implement a natural and beautiful typeface.
