DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.

1 illustrates a structure of an event processing system (hereinafter, referred to as an event processing system) of a community according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the event processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of user terminals (including all types of networks in various forms such as 200, a telephone network, the Internet, and a wireless communication network). 300).

The user terminal 300 is a communication device that can be connected to the event processing system 100 through the network 200. For example, various communication devices such as a wired telephone, a mobile communication terminal, a computer, and a TV that can be connected to the Internet may be used. Can be. Therefore, the user can conveniently and quickly access the event processing system 100 using PC communication, the Internet, the wireless Internet, a telephone network, and the like.

The system 100 connected to the user terminal 300 to provide and process an event to a plurality of users includes an interface server 10, a database server 20, a processing server 30, and an authentication server 40. Include.

The interface server 10 allows a plurality of terminals 300 to be connected through the network 200, in particular, the Internet or the wireless Internet, and converts various pieces of information provided through the processing server 30 to conform to a communication standard. To provide a plurality of terminals 300 or to receive information transmitted from the terminal 300 through the network 200 to provide to the processing server 30, and transmit and receive information with a web server or other system And a database interworking device (CGI).

The database server 10 stores a large amount of information for community management and event processing. Specifically, the database server 10 includes a registration database 21, an authentication database 22, a visitor database 23, a post database 24, and an event database ( 25), and history database 26.

The registration database 21 stores rough information on communities registered for each category. For example, for each category code assigned to each category such as broadcasting, entertainment, economics, and politics, an identification code of a registered community is correspondingly stored, and for each identification code, the registration date, address, name, number of users, and community Information such as general features, operator IDs, etc. are stored.

The authentication database 22 stores information about a user registered as a member for each community. For example, information such as a user ID, a password, an e-mail address, a name, a social security number, etc. is stored corresponding to the community identification code.

The visitor database 23 stores the number of users (hereinafter referred to as visitors) for each community. For example, the number of visitors, the visit date, and the like are stored for each setting unit (for example, daily or setting time) corresponding to the identification code of each community. Here, the visitor includes a user who has registered as a member of the community or any user who has performed any activity such as accessing the community to leave a comment or confirm the content even without registering as a member.

The post database 24 stores contents posted by users for each community, that is, information on posts. For example, information such as a post number, a publisher's ID, a publication date, a title, and a post content corresponding to a community identification code is stored, and the total number of posts posted so far is stored for each community.

The event database 25 stores information on events to be performed by the system. For example, event types to be executed for each community, default values, and current count values are stored.

An event according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following types.

1) Event according to community creation date (1st event)

When a default value set by the community administrator, for example, 100 days, 1000 days, or one year, elapses from the creation date of the community, that is, the registration date, the event provides a reward to a user who accesses the day and performs a predetermined activity.

2) Events according to the number of community members (second event)

When the number of members of the community is set to a default value, for example, 100, 1000, etc., it is an event that rewards users who have registered at that time.

3) Events according to the number of community visitors (third event)

When the number of visitors of the community is set to a default value, for example, 100, 1000, etc., it is an event that rewards visitors who visited at that time.

4) Events according to the number of posts in the community (4th event)

If the number of posts registered in the community is a set default value, for example, 100, 1000, etc., then it is an event that rewards the user who registered the post.

These events are illustrative, and in addition, other events may be included that provide a reward after setting a default value if the measurement of the user's network activity meets the default value. Here, the default value is a condition value for winning the event, and may be set according to the unit principle of Table 1 as follows.

    service   event     unit   Manual setting   Registration date   100 days, yearly     impossible   community   Membership    100 units      possible   Visitors    100 units      possible

  Total posts    100 units      possible

Table 1 above is merely illustrative and does not limit the present invention. On the other hand, the count value is counted according to the event type to determine whether or not to win the event, the number of days counted from the community registration date in the case of the first event, the number of visitors to the community, the third event in the case of the second event Is the number of members in the community, and the number of posts registered in the case of the fourth event.

The history database 26 stores history information corresponding to the processing result of the above events performed by the system. That is, the processing result for the event that has been performed and terminated so far for each community is stored. For example, an event end date and a processing result (event winner ID, winning date, etc.) are stored corresponding to an event type performed by each community, and a message displayed when the event ends is stored.

Among these databases, databases 21 to 24 in which variables for event processing (registration date, number of visitors, number of members, number of posts, etc.) are stored may be referred to as measurement databases.

Meanwhile, the processing server 30 for managing a community and performing an event based on the database server 20 in which a plurality of pieces of information is stored is a register 31 for creating and registering a community, and registering and registering a user for each community. The authentication unit 32 for performing the post, the post processing unit 33 for performing post registration and management for each community, the event setting unit 34 for setting a predetermined event according to the selection of the operator of the community and inform it through the community, each An event processing unit 35 for processing an event set for each community, and a history processing unit 36 for storing and managing each event processing result.

In particular, the event processing unit 35 counts the date from the registration date for each community stored in the registration database 21 and displays the member information for each community stored in the first processing unit 351 and the authentication database 22 that perform the first event. The second processing unit 352 performing the second event based on the number of visitors for each community stored in the visitor database 23, the third processing unit 353 performing the third event based on each community stored in the post database 24. The fourth processor 354 performs a fourth event based on the number of posts. When the number of days, the number of visitors, the number of members, and the number of posts are counted according to the operations of the first to fourth processing units 351 to 354, the count value stored in the event database 25 is increased. According to the type or number of events, each processing unit of the event processing unit 35 may be increased or decreased.

On the other hand, the authentication server 40 performs authentication for the user who can receive the community service through the event processing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and for this, information about a user registered as a member in the system For example, it may include a database 41 in which information including ID, password, name, e-mail address, social security number, and the like is stored.

In this case, the authentication server 40 performs authentication for the system user, and the authentication unit 32 of the processing server 30 performs authentication for a user registered as a member in the corresponding community for each community. The 40 may perform all authentication processes (system member authentication, community member authentication), and in addition, authentication may be performed in various forms. In addition, each database 41 and 22 for authentication may be implemented in an integrated form.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each component of the processing server 30 is shown to operate in the processing server, but is not limited thereto, and implemented as an independent server to enable various activities to promote the community. Can be.

Next, the event setting process will be described in detail.

In FIG. 2, an event setting process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in sequence.

The operator of a given community may request an event setting for activation of his community (S100). Accordingly, the event setting unit 34 of the processing server 30 sets an event in the corresponding community according to the operator's selection. That is, a screen for selecting the first event according to the registration date, the second event according to the number of members, the third event according to the number of visitors, and the fourth event according to the number of posts is provided (S110), and the corresponding event database 25 is provided. Corresponding to the community, the event item selected by the operator is recorded (S120 to S130). Then, a default value for performing an event according to each selected item is set (S140). Of course, the default value can also be set by the operator. At this time, if the default value set by the operator is smaller than the current count value, a change of the default value is requested (S150 to S160). For example, if the event set by the operator is the second event, and the number of visitors currently counted is 7743 and the operator sets the default value to 7000, as shown in FIG. 3, the controller requests to change the default value. Print a message and let the operator reset it. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of outputting a default value change message.

Such event setting steps (S100 to S160) may be performed for each community. When event setting is completed, the event setting unit 34 notifies the community of event execution, and at this time, the event default value and the current count according to the event. The values are known together (S170 to S180).

4 illustrates an example of an event implementation according to an embodiment of the present invention. At the event notification, as shown in FIG. 4, an event item is checked to indicate what kind of event is being carried out in the community, and a default value is displayed for each event to indicate in which case the event can be won. It displays the count value up to the present to indicate the probability of winning the event. On the other hand, when the event is the first event, event notification is not performed (S190). That is, in the case of the second to fourth events, it is difficult to infer the chance of winning the event because the count value is changed according to the user's activity variable, whereas in the case of the first event, anyone infers the event date only by knowing the community registration date. Because it can be done, the event is displayed only on the day set as default.

As such, as an event to be performed in the community is noticed, the user's activity such as registering a member or visiting the community or posting a post may be induced.

Next, the event processing process will be described. 5 is a sequence of event processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, when the event setting and notice is performed, the event processing unit 35 starts to count the variables (dates elapsed from the registration date, the number of visitors, the number of members, the number of posts) according to the event type set for each community (S200). ).

When the first event is set, the first processing unit 351 counts the number of days that elapse from the registration date by using the built-in timer and increases the corresponding count value (S210 to S240).

When the second event is set, the second processor 352 checks a user connected to the corresponding community through the network and increases the number of visitors when the user connects (S250 to S270). In general, a log file is formed when a user connects, and the log file can be used to measure whether or not the user has accessed a predetermined community.

When the third event is set, the third processing unit 353 counts the number of members according to whether or not member registration to the community occurs (S280 to S300). That is, when the user requests to join a member of a predetermined community, the authenticator 32 performs a membership to store the user's information in the authentication database 22 and simultaneously notifies the third processing unit 353. Accordingly, the third processing unit 353 increases the count value that is the number of members of the community.

When the fourth event is set, the fourth processing unit 354 counts the number of posts according to whether or not post registration occurs (S310 to S330). That is, the post processor 33 stores the post in the post database 24 and posts the bulletin board to the fourth processor 354 when the user requests a post registration. Accordingly, the fourth processing unit 354 increases the count value which is the number of posts registered in the corresponding community.

As described above, a process of measuring a variable for performing an event of the first to fourth processing units 354 is repeatedly performed. When the count value according to each event is equal to the default value, the event is terminated. The processing result is displayed.

Specifically, each processing unit 351 to 354 performs the step of comparing the count value and the default value for each measurement step while performing the variable measurement process described above. That is, when the count value is changed according to the variable measurement, the default value and the changed count value are compared (S340). As a result of the comparison, if the count value is the same as the default value, the user who visited the community, registered as a member, or registered a post wins the process (S350). Then, the event is terminated, and as shown in FIG. 6 on the web page, the event type and the winner are displayed, indicating that the event is finished. 6 is an exemplary view of a screen at the end of an event according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, each processing unit 351 to 354 records, in the history database 26, the winning user ID, the winning date (or time), etc., corresponding to the event of the community.

Thereafter, a predetermined reward processing (for example, mileage grant, gift present, etc.) that can be used in the system is performed for the winning user.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the most practical and preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above disclosed embodiments, but also includes various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the following claims. For example, the components of each system described above may be implemented in hardware or software to perform their functions.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by performing an event according to the user activity in the community on the network to compensate for, it is possible to further activate the participation of the user community.

As the user's participation increases, interaction between users can be induced, and the quantity and quality of content shared through the community can be further improved.

As a result, the community is activated, and communication between users through the network becomes more active.
