Description

Blog service system and method through network

The present invention relates to a blog service, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for providing a blog service through a network through a telephone or an internet terminal.

In recent years, the number of Internet users is gradually increasing, and the population is considerable, and the services provided are also diversified.

Among them, blog service has recently appeared and is gaining popularity.

The terms related to these blogs are as follows.

Blog is a new word that combines 'web' which means internet and 'logs' which means sailing journal. It is a kind of online news site where netizens make their opinions by posting column diary articles. The netizens who make blogs are also called bloggers. The popularity of blogs is exploding after the creation of blogs that make blogging easier and bloggers tie together. The first non-profit organization, weblog Korea (wik.ne.kr), created by international students and university students in 2001, is the first bloggers gathering in Korea. In the four months since November 2003, more than 75,000 people are born as bloggers through the blog site (www.blog.co.kr) created by <AbleClick>, opening a one-time media era. In developed countries such as the US and Europe, blogs are attracting attention as a new social phenomenon, and in the US, 10 million blogs are expected this year.

You can think of an existing bulletin board in that you are posting as an individual, but blogs are creating a high level of public opinion by continuously updating unique contents with one-person media. Bulletin boards such as the media are abusive and slanderous because of anonymity and one-sidedness, and more and more 80% of the members of the community do not post the content, but the content becomes poor. On the other hand, blogs are linked to each other (trackback), so they don't write replies and keep updating their content to convey their opinions through 'one-person media'.

Easy to create is the biggest strength of the blog. Until now, in order to operate a personal homepage, it was necessary to know the HTML language, Namo web editor, and Dreamweaver program. A blog is only possible if only a word processor is available. Enter your blog homepage, sign up and fill out a few options to get your own blog site. Not only text, but also pictures, photos, music, etc. can be pulled up from one's own hard.

Entries (posts, posts, posts, documents, posts) are blog posts. In other words, an entry refers to a post on a blog site, and a bulletin board corresponds to an entry. In blog sites, the term entry is commonly used, but sometimes it is called a post. In blog programs, the author of a post is expressed as 'post by', so entry and post are synonymous.

In terms of meaning, the words "documents, posts, posts, and materials" registered on the blog all refer to entries, so it is appropriate to use them according to the context. 'I posted a new article' rather than 'new entry'. In some cases, write 'articles' and 'documents' and 'materials' because the phrase 'uploaded new photo material' is smoother and easier to understand. Therefore, entry, post, article, document, and post are used interchangeably in the future.

The entry area is an area showing an entry (written) created on the screen. Usually the title and body of the article is listed in the middle of the screen, which is the entry area.

Comments (comments, comments, comments) is a short comment under the original post, and commnet is translated as a comment, but the Korean board culture uses the terms reply, comment, and comment. It may also be referred to as talkback. The reason for the different terms is that the format of comments has changed a lot in recent years.

Trackbacks are an extended feature of replies and comments. Existing replies and comments leave a reply or sentiment beneath the post after the reader reads the post on the bulletin board, but trackback is a way to improve it and remotely reply to other sites. In other words, if you create a trackback, the entry's link information remains in the entry, and the reply is stored in the blog of the author.

The reason why I made a trackback is to let others know what I wrote. Trackback allows authors to write to their blogs, but original entry viewers can easily follow authors' tracks by following trackback link information elsewhere. As such, trackback is a typical feature of blogs that connects people's writings on a topic and puts them together.

RSS (Rich Site Summary, Really Simple Syndication) is a specification for Web site consolidation (syndication, distribution network creation), data construction, and exchange. RSS is an XML-based format for frequently updated sites, such as news, blogs, and courses. It is a standard for exchanging data between web sites or serving materials without visiting the site.

Metadata is data for data. In other words, a secondary data group that contains information for finding source data is called metadata. For example, when setting the metadata of 'Dol-chanchi', it can be composed of babies, pencils, rock rings, family, and banquets.

However, such a blog service may have to have a terminal that can access the Internet, so there was a limitation in the place.

The technical problem of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the prior art, so that it is possible to fully use the blog service with voice and metadata conveniently anytime and anywhere in an environment where text information is not available regardless of the place.
