Description

Self-Installation and Execution System and its Recording Media {SELF INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION NETWORK SYSTEM FOR TRANSMISSION DIGITAL CONTENTS AND RECORDING MEDIUM OF THE DIGITAL CONTENTS}

The present invention relates to a recording medium of a data file for distributing content on a wired or wireless network. More specifically, the present invention provides a final application program on a server side and transmits only digital data to a client side. The present invention relates to a self-installation and execution system and a recording medium for enabling automatic installation and execution of a final application to enable real-time viewing of contents and to access remote data.

In recent years, with the rapid spread of the Internet, a large amount of information is shared. As a result, the user can easily receive image information, text information, music information, etc. provided from an unspecified number, and the plurality of pieces of information are composed of respective programs for each file so that the user can select an application program for the file. Should be installed.

Thus, when computer users encounter a new file format, they don't know which application software can read it. Generally, in order to solve this problem, when a file is transferred, the application or file can be read and the interpretable software can be distributed at the same time so that the contents of the file can be viewed. Alternatively, a method of adding and distributing an application capable of interpreting the file in a transmission file is used. For example, the WinZip program adds a decompression function when compressing a file and inserts it into a file so that the file is automatically decompressed when the program is executed so that the user can easily view the file without looking for a separate application.

However, the problem with these methods is that the user of the file may not be able to easily view the file if the corresponding application of the file is an unknown file format, and users who are not familiar with the computer may not be able to open the file. do. This causes the user to have to install a number of application files on the user's computer that can read the file in order to view the internal information of the file.

In addition, when adding and distributing an application capable of interpreting a file in a file, a malicious file creator or a virus distributor may replace the executable file with a virus or a harmful program on a client terminal, and the user may be a legitimate program. Since you don't know if it's a viral program, you're in danger of lethal damage.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to distribute the content data to users without depending on a separate application software, and to easily access the content through a wired or wireless network. The present invention provides a self-installing and executing system and a recording medium thereof.

Client terminal; A content server configured to mount file information having the content, receive a view request signal of the content from the client terminal, and provide the file information to the client terminal in response to the view request signal of the content; And a final application program for displaying the content, and provides version and path information of each file constituting the final application program from the launcher information according to a user setting, and based on the path of the file. Characterized in that the update server for downloading the program to the client terminal.

Preferably, the launcher information is characterized in that it is produced on the basis of an Active X Control program.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention having the above characteristics will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, the configuration of the content according to the present invention has a modified format structure of HTML. The structure of the HTML is first composed of address information of the update server for updating the final application, for example, URL information, update installation information, and instruction information for selecting a target application of the update. Holds execution information. And launcher program information for generating a startup command for updating in response to the startup information for activating the update of the final application program.

Further, the final application program is downloaded from the update server on the basis of execution information of the launcher program information, that is, address information, installation information, and instruction information of the update server, and in response to a start command provided from the launcher program information, the final application program. Contains updater program information for executing. In addition, Internet Explorer (IE) stops automatically loading and parsing content information, and comprises stop script information that provides update start information of the final application when a request for viewing the content information is made. A header portion having viewer information is formed.

Meanwhile, a body part according to the modified format structure of HTML is displayed when the application program is started based on the execution information of the launcher program information, and the encoded string or binary data is encoded by encoding the content information. Is loaded. The content information loaded into the body includes not only multimedia data but also data used by a general application program. For example, it may be document information or video information including text information, music information, and multimedia information that may be utilized as an electronic album, photo information, electronic books, etc. through the use of such information. In addition, the content information loaded into the body may include data used when installing a general application. This can of course be used to distribute information relating to program installation, for example, program installation information and files to be installed.

In addition, by inputting a delimiter so that the application software can easily access the string or the binary data, the user can remotely access the web service and request only specific data. Therefore, the data can be provided in real time.

Because of this, even if you do not know the information about the application for linking the file can be easily viewed. This is because most personal computers are equipped with a web browser, and in the case of an HTML file as an operating system, the web browser is basically linked to the web browser so that access can be easily performed locally and over a network.

As described above, the operation of the data file for self-installation and execution according to the present invention will be described using an HTML-based program as an example. Of course, the present invention can be applied to VB Script and JAVA Script.

First, the launcher program information is set in the form of an object tag for calling the final application program from the update server in association with the update program information. The launcher program information executes the updater program information based on the address information of the service server carrying the launcher program information, the update installation information, and the indication information according to the selection of the target application program for updating the final application program.

The updater program information and the launcher program information recorded on the recording medium according to the present invention are provided from the service server based on the address information of the service server, and when the HTML document is read through the client terminal, the client terminal is launched. The final application program is downloaded by the updater program operated based on the address information, installation information, and instruction information of the program information. At this time, the final application program is not executed, and the final application program is executed under the instruction of the update program.

This is to prevent the content information loaded into the body portion from being loaded and analyzed through Internet Explorer. If the content has vast information such as an electronic book, an electronic album or a video, the user does not have a request for reading. Unauthorized loading into the web browser prevents unnecessary server load and prevents unnecessary loading and analysis. Thus, in order to perform this function, the header section includes stop script information.

The stop script information has update start information of the last application program to stop the operation of the web browser that executes the loading of content information by executing the final application program by the launcher program information and the updater program information. Is information generated when the user clicks on the file, i.e., to view it. Therefore, when the user requests a reading, the update start information operates the launcher program information to generate an update start command, and the update start command starts the update program information to execute the final application program. As a result, the corresponding content information is displayed on the client terminal.

The final application program can be variously implemented according to the type of content. For example, if the content is a video, it may be an application for calling and outputting the video in a streaming manner, and if the content is a photo album containing music, the application for calling and outputting pictures and music page by page. Will be

Meanwhile, the content information loaded on the body part may be encoded string information or binary information, and includes page-specific separation information according to the content. That is, when content information is loaded and analyzed when the final application is executed, the content information is loaded in units of pages based on the separated information. This allows the user to again view the contents of another page by performing a mouse click operation.

The data file for self-installation and execution configured as described above may be transmitted to a client terminal through a communication network, or may be transmitted between servers so that the corresponding content may be viewed without a separate application. Hereinafter, a method for transmitting the above content will be described.

1 is a diagram illustrating an overall network for explaining a method of transmitting content according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the wired / wireless communication network 101, the client terminal 103, and the file information having the content are loaded, and receiving the view request signal of the content from the client terminal, in response to the view request signal of the content A content server 107 for providing the file information to the client terminal, a service server for providing launcher information for reading content information of a file downloaded from the content server 107, and a final for displaying the content. Retains an application program, provides version and path information of each file constituting the final application from the launcher information according to a user setting, and downloads the final application program to the client terminal based on the path of the file; It consists of an update server (Update Server: 117).

The service server provides launcher (Launcher: 113) information having path information for calling the final application program for viewing the file, and the update server 117 is included in the updater (115) information. The final application program is downloaded based on the path information of the file.

On the other hand, the updater information is installed when the viewer is rejected from the upgrade of the final application, that is, the user receiving the content 119 to provide a separate application for viewing, installation of the viewer by JavaScript The installation guide information of the viewer for providing the guide page information may be included. In addition, the header unit may include textualized summary information for providing information on the file and textualized search information for searching for the file, thereby efficiently managing the file.

As such, the content and viewer information may be produced based on the HTML program, so that the corresponding content may be provided even without a separate application. The content may be image information or video information that can be used as an electronic album, an electronic book, an electronic catalog, an electronic newspaper, including text information, and may be installation information or an installation target file of a program, if necessary.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the main functions according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step S201, the content server 107 is loaded with at least one piece of content information having data information, program installation information, installation files, images or video (video) information. Such a file is provided as image information provided on the web, for example, an electronic catalog, a video, and the like, and the client terminal 103 clicks (or doubles) the image information to the content server 107 to view the corresponding content through step S203. Click to request reading.

In step S205, the content server 107 recognizes the view request signal, is provided with the launcher information from the corresponding service server based on the launcher program information, and refers to the update server 117 based on the launcher information. The final application is downloaded from the update server 117 to the client terminal 103. The file holding the content as described above is HTML-based application call information composed of launcher information and updater information. Accordingly, the client terminal 103 can receive the content information without having a separate reading application.

At this time, the file executes the web browser of the client terminal 103 and inquires whether to upgrade the final application in step S207. If the user does not want to upgrade the final application program, the guide site information by the JavaScript code is extracted from the launcher information 113 of the file and provided on the web browser (S215).

On the other hand, if the user wants to upgrade the final application, the process proceeds to step S209 and installs the final application on the client terminal 103 based on the launcher information and the updater information. In operation S211, path information of the final application program is extracted from the launcher information. Of course, the path information may be a remote file on the web where the final application program exists, and if previously stored in the client terminal 103, the path information may be stored in the C drive as a local file. The launcher information tells us the location of this HTML executable. The updater information requests execution of the viewer through the corresponding route based on the route information extracted from the launcher information.

In step S213, the client terminal 103 downloads the final application linked to from the updater information, after receiving the data information corresponding to the content of the file information to display through the final application, View the content.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the main operation of FIG. 3.

As shown, the content information 119, the launcher information 113, and the updater information 115 constituting the file are mounted in the service server 201, and the update server has a final application program according to the latest version of the final application program. It is mounted. A plurality of files are provided from the content server, and the user selects one of the plurality of files provided from the content server and requests a view. The view request will be a click by the mouse.

When a click signal for reading the corresponding file is detected by the content server, the service server 201 provides the launcher information of the file in steps S401 and S403, and accesses the update server based on the launcher information. Accordingly, the client terminal 103 accesses a content server and clicks a corresponding file to receive a predetermined content, for example, image information. At this time, the file is executed by a web browser by ActiveX control. do.

In step S405, the service server 201 provides the file to the client terminal 103, the file induces a connection with the service server 201, and the service server 201 provides corresponding launcher information. In step S407, the service server 201 inquires whether to download the final application for viewing the content via the web browser.

If the user does not download the final application, the process proceeds to step S413 and provides a guide site by JavaScript code through the web browser. On the other hand, if the user wants to download the final application program, the process proceeds to step S409 and extracts path information in which the final application program exists from the launcher information 113. In the embodiment of the present invention, as the final application program exists in the updater server, the path information of the final application program provided from the launcher information 113 may be the path of the service server 201. Of course, when the launcher information 113 determines that the final application program is mounted in the client terminal 103, the path of the final application program provided by the launcher information 113 may be the client terminal 103.

In step S411, the updater information 115 accesses the service server 201 or the client terminal 103 based on the route information provided in the launcher information 113, and the corresponding application is connected to the client terminal 103. Run it to download.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a content delivery system according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the main operations of FIG.

In the present embodiment, a method for viewing the content information from the client terminal 501 having the file and the final application is carried out by the second client terminal 503 which is not loaded with the final application program for reading a predetermined file. . As shown, the file and the final application program information is loaded into any one client terminal 501 in step S601.

This is based on the premise that the client terminal 501 can be provided with the file information through offline, and can be provided with the file information through online as necessary. In operation S603, the content information according to the present invention includes the file information, that is, the launcher information 113 and the updater information 115, in order to provide the content to another client terminal 503 through the client terminal 501. Send it.

In step S605, another client terminal receiving the launcher information 113, that is, the second client terminal 503 executes a web browser, and in step S607 it is determined whether or not to download the final application program on the web browser. request. At this time, if the download of the final application from the second client terminal 503 is accepted, the process proceeds to step S609 to determine whether the upgrade of the final application by the update of the file information.

The last application program included in the second client terminal 503 is extracted under the driving of the launcher information 113, and if it is determined that the version of the extracted last application program is low, the last application program included in the updater information. Provides route information. The route information will be the client terminal 501.

Thereafter, the updater information 115 performs a connection with the client terminal 501 based on the route information, and notifies the client terminal 501 of this through step S611. Then, the final application program information held by the client terminal 501 is provided to the second client terminal 503. At this time, the final application program held by the client terminal 501 is a higher version than the application held by the second client terminal 503 or only when no application is held by the second client terminal 503. Corresponding.

On the other hand, if the second client terminal 503 refuses to download the final application, the process proceeds to step S613, and provides a guide site by the JavaScript code through the web browser. Accordingly, the second client terminal 503 may receive the final application program and thereafter, may display the content information of the file information transmitted to the second client terminal 503.

The embodiment of the present invention implemented in the above description is merely a methodology for providing the content disclosed in the present invention. Next, after the content information of the present invention is downloaded to the client terminal, the corresponding content is displayed through the final application. I will explain. In addition, the following description is equally applicable to the above-described embodiment.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the final application program downloaded to the client terminal. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the main operation of FIG. As shown, it is composed of a content server 703 and a client terminal 701, the client terminal 701 is a transmission engine module 705 for receiving file information from the content server 703, the received file The application module 707 receives input information for each reception mode and performs input / output management of file information, and a display module 709 for displaying the file information to a monitor 711.

And, as described above, the content server 703 is for executing the upgrade of the final application from the path of the file based on the launcher (Launcher) information for calling the final application and the call information of the final application. It consists of file information consisting of a header part having updater information and a body part having data information obtained by converting the contents of the digital content to be transmitted in binary form. In addition, the header part stores information about the basic file, for example, a file version, a summary of the file, and text information for searching.

The file is received by the client terminal 701 and then activated by the application program module 707. The application module 707 enters step S801, and requests the transmission engine module 705 a text header, that is, version information, summary information, and text information about a file requested by the user. The transmission engine module 705 tracks the update server based on the launcher information, receives the text header information, and transmits the text header information to the application program module 707 through step S803.

The application module 707 receives the text header information and provides the information about the corresponding file to the monitor 711 of the user through the display module 709. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S805, the application program module 707 selects a method of receiving a file to be received currently based on the text header information. This determines whether the location of the file described in the text information, that is, data information that implements the content exists in the service server or in the client terminal. According to the determined result, the transmission engine module 705 determines whether to download a remote file or extract data to a local file as a moded signal.

In operation S807, the application program module 707 requests the bin engine for the file information from the transmission engine module 705 to collect execution information for each object of the content. Thereafter, the application program module 707 proceeds to step S809 to configure an object table through collection of the empty header. The object table includes information on each object of content, and tabulates information such as a page to be viewed or a page to be viewed.

In operation S811, the application program module 707 searches for a required object in the current page based on the object table information. That is, the user searches whether the content is to be viewed from the first page or the content of a specific page set by the user. Accordingly, the application program module 707 transmits the currently required object information to the transmission engine module 705 in operation S813, and the transmission engine module 705 receives the corresponding object from the service server 703 to receive the application program. Provided to module 707. In operation S815, the application module 707 displays the corresponding object on the monitor 711 through the display module 709.

Meanwhile, the operation of the transmission engine module 705 according to the file reception mode setting of FIG. 8 will be described in detail. Downloading of the contents of the transmission engine module 705 described below relates to a mode setting (S805) of file reception set in the application program module 707, in which the contents are streamed through the transmission engine module 705. It is a process of performing whether to download in a manner or a partial (PARTIAL) manner.

First, when the content downloaded to the client terminal 701 exists as a remote file, that is, when the content is loaded in the service server 703, the transmission engine module 705 stores the file loaded in the service server 703. It is determined whether to download in a streaming manner or a partial manner, which is due to a file transmission method according to a file size or a characteristic of a file preset in the text header information.

The file transmission method is classified into a streaming method and a partial method, and the content displays image information according to a protocol of a predetermined file transmission method. If the content exists locally, the delivery engine module 705 transfers the locally loaded content to the cache memory and displays the corresponding object.
