In addition, the present invention analyzes the propensity of members in the case of members who have little or no service usage history (ie new members or members who have very little service usage), for example, gender, age included in the member information. , The inclination is analyzed using a residential area, a hobby, a keyword of interest, and the like, and based on the analysis result, the inclination is classified into the same or similar event service group as other members with similar inclination.

Herein, each service member is subscribed to at least one or more event service groups based on individual personality and / or service use history information, and each member may change the event service group according to a cumulative change in his or her service use history. have.

1 is a schematic diagram of an event information service system suitable for applying a method of serving event information to wireless or wired clients using a network according to the present invention, comprising a plurality of wireless clients 102/1-102 / n. Wireless client group 102, wired client group 104 of multiple wired clients 104/1-104 / n, carrier server group 106 of multiple operator servers 106/1-106 / n , A wireless communication network 108, the Internet 110, an event service server 112, a member information DB 114, and an event information DB 116.

Referring to FIG. 1, each of the wireless clients 102/1-102 / n in the wireless client group 102 includes a plurality of base stations, a base station controller, a mobile communication switch and a WAP gateway, and the like. And a wireless terminal (e.g., PCS, cellular phone, PDA, IMT-2000 terminal, handheld computer or laptop computer with Internet access means, etc.) capable of connecting to the event service server 112 via the Internet 110. For example, by providing member information such as name, gender, age, address, e-mail address, wireless terminal number, hobby, keyword of interest, etc., the event service server 112 can be registered as an event service member to manage schedules, address books, and favorites. A service such as a search may be provided, and an event information service provided according to the present invention may also be provided. Each of these wireless clients 102/1-102 / n may be connected to the wireless communication network 108 and the Internet 110 to provide event information known to the event service server 112 to the event service server 112. Event information provided by the client is stored in the event information DB 116.

Further, each of the wired clients 104/1-104 / n in the wired client group 104 is a personal computer or communication terminal having an internet connection means, and the above-mentioned wireless clients 102/1-102 / n. ), The same or similar services may be provided from the event service server 112 including the event information service. Each wired client may also provide event information known to the event service server 112 to the event service server 112.

Here, the event information service provided to the wireless client or the wired client may be a service such as inquiring a purchase for a specific item or inquiring a reservation for a ticket such as sports, a movie, a play, a musical, a trip, or the like. Meaning, it is provided to a wireless or wired client through the Internet and / or a wireless communication network using e-mail, SMS, voice, multimedia including video, and the like.

Each of the operator servers 106/1-106 / n in the operator server group 106 then e-commerce to the users through, for example, general purchase / sale, public purchase / sale, auction, reverse auction, and the like. Websites that provide services, or websites that provide various services related to sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, golf, or websites that provide various services related to cultural arts such as movies, plays, musicals, or Web sites that provide travel-related services and the like. Each of these service provider servers 106/1-106 / n processes the request from the event service server 112 or arbitrarily generates event information generated on its own website. The event service server 112 is provided through the Internet 110.

On the other hand, the event service server 112 collects event information, a module in charge of management services such as schedule management, address book management, favorites, and the like for each registered event service member, although a detailed city of the drawings is omitted. And register, monitor and analyze the service usage performance of each event service member, classify each event service member into various service groups based on the analysis results, determine the target group for each event, and provide event information. It includes a module in charge of the service, through these various modules to provide the event information service selectively to each event service member according to the present invention.

To this end, the member information DB 114 includes member information such as name, gender, age, address, email address, wireless terminal number, hobbies, keywords of interest, personal information such as schedule management, address book, favorites, and each event service member. Analysis of service usage history (a type of personally learned pattern information) information (e.g., information on purchase of goods, ticket reservation, etc.) and own propensity and preference (preferred by service usage history and keywords of interest) Service group classification information classified according to FIG. In addition, the event information DB 116 stores event information provided from an unspecified operator server or directly input by a server operator through the Internet 110, and includes member information for each classified service group (ie, event service). Member ID information) and the like. In this case, registered event service members may belong to at least one service group.

Here, the service groups to which each registered event service member is classified and belong to, for example, a soccer group, a baseball group, a basketball group, a volleyball group, etc. in relation to sports, and are free from hardship in relation to culture and art. Groups, mystery film groups, war film groups, sports film groups, theater groups, musical groups, and the like.

Next, a process of selectively providing event information to a wireless or wired client according to the present invention using the event information service system having the above-described configuration will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a wireless or wired client registers as a service member capable of receiving event information according to the present invention.

2, if any wireless client or wired client requests service registration after accessing the event service server 112 through the wireless communication network 108 and the Internet 110 or the Internet 110 (step 202). 204, the event service server 112 retrieves the menu screen data requesting the input of the member information and provides the same to the corresponding wireless or wired client (step 206).

In response, when the wireless or wired client inputs member information such as name, gender, age, address, email address, wireless terminal number, hobby, keyword of interest, member ID and password (step 208), the event service server In step 112, the received information is stored in the member information DB 114 to formally register the wireless or wired client as an event service member (step 210). Here, each wireless or wired client registered as an event service member may access the event service server 112 at any time and register related information for services such as schedule management, address book, and favorites to receive related services. Of course.

In this case, for the first event service member (or event service member who does not have an event service history), the member information (name, gender, age, address, e-mail address, wireless terminal, etc.) that has no history of using the event service and can identify individual personality Number, hobby, keywords of interest, etc.), so it is very difficult to classify the service group. In the present invention, other event service members (hereinafter, similar event service members) having member information similar to the member information of the corresponding event service member And classify the corresponding event service member into a service group belonging to the similar event service member.

For example, suppose that a similar event service member for a first-time registered event service member belongs to a soccer and in-line skate group in the sports field and a war film group in the cultural arts field. Similarly, after classifying soccer groups, in-line skate groups, and war movie groups, or extracting n similar event service members (2, 3, 4, 5, etc.), only service groups that are common to all similar event members It can be classified into the service group of the corresponding event service member.

Of course, if an event service member with no event service performance has registered information such as schedule management, address book, and favorites, the similar event service member for the corresponding event service member is searched by considering the information and the member information. Of course, it can be set to classify service groups.

To this end, the event service server 112 completes the registration for the new event service member and then based on the member information (or member information including schedule management, address book, favorites, etc.) of the new event service member. The member information of registered event service members is searched (orientation analysis), and through this search, one or n similar event service members having member information similar to the member information of the new event service member are searched (step 212). .

Then, search for the service group to which the searched one similar event service member belongs, classify the new event service member into the corresponding service group, or search for the service groups to which the n similar event service members belong, respectively. Service groups belonging to similar event service members or belonging to three or more similar event service members when n is 4, for example, are classified and registered as service groups of new event service members (step 214). . That is, the new event service member is given classification information of the classified service group and stored in the member information DB 114.

That is, according to the present invention, the wireless or wired clients can register as a new event service member in the event service server through a series of processes as described above, and are automatically classified into a service group suitable for their tendency upon registration. Referring to FIG. 3, an optional event information service which will be described later in detail may be provided.

Next, a process of providing an optional event information service to each event service member registered as a member of the event service server through the processes described above will be described.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of selecting and providing event information for each service group classified according to individual member's personality or service usage history whenever an event occurs according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the event service server 112 checks whether an event occurs while performing a service mode (steps 302 and 304). The event information is information obtained from each operator server through a search engine. Alternatively, the information may be directly transmitted by any operator server, information uploaded by a wireless or wired client, or information directly input by an operator of the event service server 112.

If it is determined that an event has occurred as a result of the check in the step 304, after the event information is registered in the event information DB 116 (step 306), the content of the event information is analyzed (e.g., character information). Analysis, and the like to determine which group among the plurality of preset service groups, the service target group is determined (step 308). Here, the service target group may be determined as at least two or more groups (such as a main service target group and a sub service target group). For example, assuming that the event information is football-related information, the soccer group may be determined as the main service target group, and the sports movie group and the baseball group may be determined as the sub service target group.

Next, the event service server 112 extracts delivery medium information of each target service member belonging to the determined service group (step 310), generates an event message based on the generated event information, and then generates the Internet 110 or the Internet. After transmitting (notifying) each target service member via the 110 and the wireless communication network 108, the event response is waited (step 312).

Here, the transmission medium information may be an e-mail address, a wireless terminal number or a wired terminal number, and the like, and the event message may be a message that selectively includes e-mail, SMS, voice, and multimedia including a video.

On the other hand, unlike the above, when the target service members to provide the event information is determined, the service member having a schedule that temporarily overlaps the schedule of the event information to be serviced by checking the schedule management of each target service member After excluding from, it can be set to send the event message only to the remaining target service members.

This is to exclude these service members because the likelihood of using the event service is relatively small if a personal schedule is already scheduled at the time of the event. For example, suppose you are a member who has an evening appointment with your lover on September 12, 2003 at 7:00 pm, even if you are very fond of football. In the event of providing the event information, it will be very difficult to expect a soccer game reservation according to the provision of the event information from the service member. In such a case, it may be desirable to exclude the event information.

In addition, the present invention, unlike the above to simply exclude a service member having a schedule that is temporarily overlapping with the schedule of the event information from the target service member, and checks the content information of the duplicate schedule to relate to the event information to service It is also possible to determine whether or not to have, and if the schedule and event information of the service member has a relationship as a result, it may be set to provide the event information without excluding the service member.

For example, if the schedule of a service member is a date with a girlfriend and the girlfriend is a football spectator, the event member is information about booking a soccer game that matches the schedule. In this case, even if the personal schedule of the service member is scheduled, the event information is provided without being excluded from the event service.

Next, if there is an event response from any target service member as a result of the check in step 314, for example, the event message is a message for inquiring the booking intention about the admission ticket of the football game held at a specific date and time. When the wireless or wired client of the request for the reservation (or storage of event information, etc.) of the soccer game ticket, the event service server 112, as in the normal e-commerce scheme, the operator that acts for the soccer game ticket booking; After the soccer game ticket is reserved through the network processing with the server, an event related service such as providing the reservation status of the soccer game ticket to the wireless or wired client is provided (step 316).

Subsequently, the event service server 112 accumulates and stores the event service usage history of the wireless or wired client in the member information DB 114 (step 318), and the event service for the client (event service member). It is checked whether the change or addition of the service group is necessary according to the accumulation of the usage history (step 320).

As a result of the check in step 320, if it is determined that the change or addition of the service group is necessary, the event service group 112 changes or adds the service group of the corresponding event service member, and changes or adds the service group. The information is registered in the member information DB 114 and the event information DB 116 (step 322).

In addition, although not illustrated in FIG. 3, whenever an event group to which each event service member belongs is changed or added, a related message may be generated to notify the corresponding event service member through the Internet, a wireless communication network, or the Internet. Of course.

Meanwhile, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the event message is provided to each event service member belonging to the service group having a relationship with the event information whenever new event information occurs. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. It doesn't happen. That is, unlike the above-described preferred embodiment, whenever new event information occurs, the event message is not provided to each event service member belonging to the service group related to the corresponding event information, and a predetermined schedule period (for example, For example, the newly registered event information can be searched in units of 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 1 week, etc.) to provide related event messages to each event service member belonging to the service group. Of course.

On the other hand, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described as checking whether or not to change or add the service group for the event service member whenever a new event service usage history occurs, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. That is, unlike the above-described preferred embodiment, whenever a new event service usage history occurs, a predetermined schedule period (for example, one week, without checking whether the service group is changed or added to the corresponding event service member) is checked. 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, etc.) can be set to check whether or not to change or add the collective service group for each registered event service members.

As described above, according to the present invention, unlike the above-described conventional method of providing event information or the like collectively to all registered members by using multimedia including mail, SMS, voice, video, etc. Analyzes the individual's propensity and preference using individual member information and service usage history information, and groups each individual group into a plurality of service groups based on the analysis result, and generates event information or new events every certain period. By searching for information and selectively providing event information to users belonging to the corresponding service target group, online service, that is, personalized recommendation service, not only can the individual improve their quality of life, but also the individual Hassle to expose you to spammy information This causes problems with that inconvenience can be effectively prevented.
