Abstract

A system and a method for providing area information using a real name or the real name including an area name are provided to enable a user to easily access a webpage by using the real name of the webpage without inputting a URL(Uniform Resource Locator) and enable the user to quickly receive diverse information by providing the area information corresponding to the real name based on location information of the user. The first real name database stores the URL by matching with the first real name and the area information. The second real name database stores the URL corresponding to the second real name. A location information database(113) stores the location information corresponding to the URL. In case that a connection term inputted from a client(30) is the real name, a web server(12) discriminates the URL of the client and provides the area information of the first real name, which is placed in the area corresponding to the location information, if the real name is the first real name stored in an area information database(112). If the connection term is the first real name, a real name server(13) finds and provides the matched URL to the client by processing the first real name/location information of the client as one domain and searching the first real name database.

System for providing local information using a real name including a real name or region name and a real name including a region name and a method therefor {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AREA INFOMATIONS USING REAL NAMES COMPRISING AREA NAMES AND REAL NAMES AND METHOD THEREOF}

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a local information providing system using a real name including a real name or a local name or a real name including a local name according to the first embodiment.

2A and 2B are flowcharts sequentially illustrating an operation of a local information providing system using a real name or a real name including a real name or a local name according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a local information providing system using a real name or a real name including a real name or a local name according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a local information using a real name or a real name including a real name or a local name. More specifically, the present invention relates to a specific web page on a network using a real name. The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing local information corresponding to a real name according to a user's location information.

With the rapid development of network-related technology, people around the world have recently shared various information through a huge network called the Internet.

The Internet is not just a collection of computers, but a huge network of different types of computers connected to each other. Each computer connected to the Internet has a physical address, or IP, to identify each other. internet protocol) address is assigned.

However, these physical addresses are made up of four groups of numbers that do not exceed 255 (for example, 134.78.238.99), so it is very difficult for users to remember these strings, and it is difficult to remember a particular computer connected to the Internet. It is very cumbersome for users to enter these IP addresses every time they want to access the network.

Therefore, in general, instead of accessing each computer by using a physical address directly, a one-to-one correspondence with a combination of easy-to-remember IP addresses is provided. The method of making the connection is used. This combination of characters used in place of an IP address is called a domain name.

A domain name represents an address on the Internet of a computer connected to the Internet, and is generally composed of an identifier indicating a characteristic or geographical location of the computer. Using domain names instead of IP addresses for each computer requires a separate device that performs the function of matching each computer's IP address with the domain name, and each computer connected to the Internet performs these functions. It is associated with a computer system, that is, a domain name server ("DNS").

In general, when a client requests IP address resolution for a domain name of the computer, for example, "def.co.kr", to access a particular computer on the Internet, the domain name server manages the IP address. The IP address corresponding to the domain name inputted to the registrar's server is inquired, and the IP address provided from the registrar's server is returned to the client, whereby the client is connected to the computer having the corresponding IP address.

As described above, in order to connect to a particular computer on the Internet, you must know the domain name. However, in general, because the domain name is composed of a combination of English characters made according to a certain rule, the people of non-English speaking countries such as Korea, Japan, China, etc. have a disadvantage that it is difficult to memorize the domain name relatively compared to the English speaking countries.

In addition, when a directory or file name in which information is stored for accessing a specific web page is required, the directory file name for accessing a specific page can be changed according to a person operating a computer, and is composed of a combination of English letters such as a domain name.

Therefore, it is difficult to memorize a domain name and a file name for accessing an Internet web page, and it takes a long time to input a domain name and a file name.

On the other hand, when a user wants to search for specific information on the Internet, the user should enter a domain name of a site that provides information search on a browser, access the corresponding site, and then input a search word of information to be searched again.

In addition, when a user wants to selectively find only information included in a specific location, it is complicated to perform steps for searching for desired information, such as setting a location separately.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to make it possible to easily access a web page by using a real name in which the web page to be accessed is actually called without inputting a URL such as a domain name of a web page on a network. By providing the local information corresponding to the real name according to the location information of the user to be able to receive a variety of information quickly.

In addition, the input window for accessing the webpage refers to various input methods of the browser such as an address bar, a toolbar, and a search box. In addition to the world wide web, the webpage includes e-mail, file transfer protocol (FTP), telnet, etc. Represents a server that provides all network-based services in

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a local information providing system using a real name or a real name including a real name or a local name according to an embodiment of the present invention, a local information other than Korean or English corresponding to all internet addresses registered on the Internet By setting a real name consisting of a foreign language, numbers, symbols, etc. separately, a web page can be accessed using a real name including a real name or a local name or a real name including a local name. On the other hand, a real name may be one-word English.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a URL such as a domain name or a file name, which has been used previously, is referred to as an "English domain name", and strings input from a client to access a specific web page are referred to as "connection words" and specified on the Internet. Name it "Internet Address", including the IP address and URL of the web page. "Access word" is a domain name and includes both "English domain name" and "real name". In the embodiment of the present invention, the "real name" represents, in particular, a real name such as a company name, a business name, or a service mark, but is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the real name includes a first real name which is a living information keyword including a local characteristic and a second real name that does not include a local characteristic. The first real name is a real name for an object in which a plurality of things having similar characteristics in each region may exist, and includes, for example, "offices", "pizza", "theatre", "hospital", and the like. The second real name represents a real name other than the first real name and includes, in particular, a company name, a brand name, and a service name. The area information is information about a first real name classified by region. For example, information about a town office located in a specific area called Yeoksam-dong may be local information about a first real name called "dong office". Information about a theater corresponding to a specific area of Gangnam-gu may be local information with respect to the first real name.

1 illustrates a structure of a local information providing system using a real name or a real name including a real name or a local name according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a local information providing system (hereinafter, referred to as a local information providing system) using a real name including a real name or a local name according to the first embodiment of the present invention is referred to as the Internet 20. And a plurality of clients 30 and affiliated devices 40 through a future network).

The local information providing system 10 may be connected to a specific web page corresponding to a real name to a client 30 directly connected through the Internet 20 or a client 30 connected through an affiliated device 40. At the same time, the local information corresponding to the real name is provided based on the location information of the client 30.

To this end, the database server 11, which stores a plurality of pieces of information necessary for the local information providing service according to the location information of the client, and the client 30 directly accessing the data, based on the information stored in the database server 11, or And a web server 12 and a real name server 13 that provide a web page access service and a service for providing local information of a real name according to location information to a client 30 connecting through the affiliated device 40. do.

The database server 11 includes a member information database 111, a region information database 112, a location information database 113, and a real name database 114, as shown in FIG. 1. .

The member information database 111 stores a plurality of pieces of information for each user who is registered as a member who can receive local information providing service according to the present invention. For example, the membership classification code assigned to a user includes the user's name, an identification number for logging in (hereinafter referred to as an ID) and a password, and a postal address; User information such as an e-mail address, a landline phone number, a social security number, and the like may be stored. Here, the user's postal address may be used as the user's location information.

In the region information database 112, a plurality of pieces of information corresponding to the first real name according to an embodiment of the present invention are stored for each region. For example, in response to the first real name of "dong office", a large number of information (location information, introduction, etc.) of the town office belonging to each region is stored for each region such as Yeoksam-dong, Seokchon-dong, and Sinsa-dong. In addition, information corresponding to a delivery point for delivering pizzas to each region such as Yeoksam-dong, Seokchon-dong, and Sinsa-dong is stored corresponding to the first real name of "pizza".

Therefore, even if you input "Yeoksam-dong pizza" and "Yeoksam-dong office" in the input window, you can obtain the result value.

The location information database 113 stores location information for all IP addresses registered in a registration authority that manages IP addresses. For example, the location information (postal address, etc.) of the user who registered this IP address corresponding to the IP address of "211.140.345.55" is stored. In this example, administrative location information can be obtained from an IP address assigned to a client 30 connecting to the Internet 20 through a leased line, a carrier, or a separate ISP service provider. Used as user location information.

The real name database 114 stores at least one real name (including first and second real names) corresponding to all IP addresses on the Internet 20, and URL information corresponding to each real name. Is stored. For example, a real name of "netpia" is stored corresponding to an IP address of "210.103.175.66", and URL information of "netpia.net" is stored corresponding to "netpia."

In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, the IP address or URL information corresponding to the first real name and the user's location information is automatically connected to the web page corresponding to the first real name having local characteristics according to the location information of the user. Is stored. For example, an IP address of “120.130.280.33” may be stored in correspondence with “Gangnam District Samdong (User Location Information) Theater (First Real Name)”. As a result, "user location information + first real name" performs a kind of domain name function.

In addition, the real name database 114 stores IP address or URL information corresponding to the second real name. In the present embodiment, both the IP address or URL information for the first and second real names are stored in the real name database 114, but the IP address or URL information for the first real name is stored in the real name database. It can be separated into a database in which the stored database and the IP address or URL information for the second real name are stored.

The web server 12 provides the client 30 with local information corresponding to the first real name based on the information stored in these databases 111 to 114, and the client 30 or the associated device 40. Performs a web function that allows the user to access it through the Internet 20. The web server 12 performing such a function includes a site operating unit 121, an information extracting unit 122, an information providing unit 123, a connection processing unit 124, and a search engine 125.

The site operation unit 121 provides a home page on which various menus such as site introduction and membership registration are posted to the client 30 or the affiliated device 40 connected through the Internet 20 so that the user can display a real name or a local name. Allows you to register as a member or affiliate to receive local information services using real names, including.

The information extracting unit 122 extracts an IP address from the client 30 connecting through the Internet 20, searches the location information database 113 based on the extracted IP address, and extracts user location information.

When the connection word provided from the client 30 or the affiliated device 40 is the first real name, the information providing unit 123 according to the location information database of the user according to the location information of the user provided from the information extracting unit 122 ( 112), the local information corresponding to the first real name is found and provided to the client 30.

If one or more other real names correspond to the IP address corresponding to the input connection word, that is, if the corresponding IP address is not real IP, the connection processor 124 according to the URL information corresponding to the connection word. To link to the web page.

If the search word 125 is not stored in the real name database 114, the search engine 125 retrieves data of a plurality of servers on the Internet 20 to collect information of a web page that provides information including the connection word. Perform the function.

Here, the components 121 to 124 are illustrated to operate in the web server 12, but are not limited thereto and may be implemented as independent servers, respectively, to process corresponding functions.

The real name server 13 determines whether the connection word input from the client 30 or the associated device 40 is a real name, and in the case of the real name, based on the data stored in the real name database 114. If the real name including the area name is provided to the 30 or the affiliated device 40 and the real name including the area name, the real information including the area name is provided to the area information database 112.

In particular, when the connection word is the first real name, the real name database 114 is searched together with the location information of the user, and the client searches for an IP address stored corresponding to the input first real name and the user location information. 30), so that the client 30 automatically connects to a web page that provides information about the first real name located in the area it is looking for.

As the client 30, a communication device capable of accessing the local information providing system 10 or the affiliated device 40 according to the present invention through the Internet 20 is used. For example, a computer, a mobile communication terminal, or the Internet can be used. A communication device such as a connectable TV can be used. The client 30 provides the access word corresponding to the web page to be accessed to the local information providing system 10 or the affiliated device 40.

The alliance device 40 cooperates with the local information providing system 10 according to the present invention having a structure as described above, thereby establishing a separate real name database, a local information database, or the like. It is a server of a business alliance site that provides web page access service or local information providing service using real name including real name or local name.

Accordingly, the client 30 may directly access the local information providing system 10 to receive a web page access service and a local information providing service using a real name including a real name or a local name, and in addition to the affiliated device 40. Even when connected to a web page access service and a local information providing service using a real name including a real name or a local name according to the present invention can be received.

The operation of the local information providing system using the real name including the real name or the local name according to the first embodiment of the present invention having such a structure will be described in detail.

Here, an example in which the real name server 13 is set as a server providing an IP address verification service by executing an Internet connection configuration program or the like before the client 30 runs a browser for accessing the Internet will be described. . In this case, the IP address value of a commonly used English domain name server (not shown) is backed up in advance, and then returned to the end of the Internet connection configuration program of the client 30 so that the basic use of the client 30 can be performed. It is desirable that no change occurs.

2A, 2B and 2C show the operation of the local information providing system using the real name including the real name or the local name according to the first embodiment of the present invention in order.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when a user inputs a connection word in an input window on a browser after the user 30 runs a web browser or an e-mail program for Internet connection, the input connection word is a region according to the present invention. It is provided to the real name server 13 of the information providing system 10 (S100).

The real name server 13 determines whether the connection word provided from the client 30 is an English domain name or a real name, and in the case of the real name, determines whether the first real name or the second real name is used (S110). . For example, if the input connection word includes an identifier "." Such as "netpia.net", it is determined that the input connection word is an English domain name, and the input connection word is an English domain name server (not shown). ). If the identifier "." Is not included, the connection word is determined to be a real name. If the input connection word is a real name, it is determined whether the input real name is a first real name or a second real name according to whether the corresponding real name is stored in the local information database 112 (S120). ). However, the method for determining a real name according to the present invention is not limited to that described above, and for example, the first real name stored in the local information database or the second real not having local information. It may be stored to be distinguished by name.

When the real name server 13 determines that the connection word provided from the client 30 is stored in the local information database 112 and determined to be the first real name, the real name server 13 provides the first real name to the web server 12. Accordingly, the information extracting unit 122 of the web server 12 first extracts location information of the client 30 to provide local information.

The information extracting unit 122 extracts the IP address of the client 30 and then searches the location information database 113 based on the extracted IP address and finds the location information of the user corresponding to the IP address (S120 to S120). S130).

Next, the information provider 123 searches the local information database 112 based on the location information of the user and the first real name found by the information extractor 122, and searches for the first real information based on the location information of the user. Find local information of the name (S140).

For example, when the location information of the user according to the IP address of the client 30 is searched in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, and the access word is the first real name of "dong office", the local information database 112 is searched for " In response to the first real name of "dong office", information on a number of town offices located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu is searched for.

As such, after finding local information according to the first real name input from the client 30, the real name server 13 searches the real name database 114 based on the first real name and the location information of the user. To find the corresponding IP address (S150).

The real name server 13 determines whether the IP address corresponding to the real name is real IP when the IP address is stored in the real name database 114 corresponding to the first real name and the user's location information. It judges (S160-S170). In the case of a real IP address, that is, when the input real name and the IP address corresponding to the location information of the user do not correspond to another real name, the searched IP address is provided to the client 30 and the information is provided. Study 123 provides the client 30 with local information of the first real name searched based on the location information of the user (S180 to S190).

Accordingly, the client 30 accesses the web page according to the IP address provided from the local information providing system 10 and receives local information of the first real name provided from the local information providing system 10. .

For example, in order to obtain information about a town office located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, the client 30 is connected to a web page corresponding to "Gangnam-gu Yeoksam-dong.Dong office" and is located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, or from Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu. You will be provided with information on a number of town offices within the scope of your set up. In addition, when a user located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, enters the first real name of "pizza", a web page corresponding to "pizza.Gangnam-gu Yeoksam-dong" is provided, and information about a pizza delivery shop located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu is provided. I can receive it.

On the other hand, if it is not the real IP address in step S170, that is, at least one other real name corresponds to the IP address corresponding to the input first real name and the user location information, the connection processing unit 124 Connects the client 30 to the web page according to the URL information corresponding to the first real name and the user location information (S200), and in this case, the information providing unit 123 is searched based on the location information of the user. Local information of the first real name is provided to the client 30 (S200 to S210). Here, the client 30 does not connect to the corresponding web page according to the IP address or URL corresponding to the first real name and the user location information, but only the local information of the first real name searched based on the location information of the user. You may be provided.

However, in step S160, when the connection word provided from the client 30 is not stored in the real name database 124, the search engine 125 is driven and connected from a plurality of servers connected to the Internet 20. Collecting information including the connection word, and connects the client 30 to the information search result page (S220). Also in this case, the information providing unit 123 provides the client 30 with local information of the searched first real name based on the location information of the user (S230).

Accordingly, the client 30 accesses the web page using the real name and receives local information of the first real name according to its location information (S240).

On the other hand, when the connection word input from the client 30 in step S110 shown in Figure 2a is not the first real name, that is, the second real name, as described above, the real according to the user's location information Without providing the local information of the name, the real name server 13 searches the real name database 114 to find an IP address corresponding to the second real name and provides it to the client 30 (S250 to S280). If it is not the real IP, the connection processing unit 124 of the web server 12 connects the client 30 to the corresponding web page according to the URL corresponding to the second real name (S290), or corresponds to the second real name. If there is no IP address, the search engine 125 searches a plurality of pieces of information included in the connection word on the Internet 20 and provides it to the client 30 (S300).

Accordingly, the client 30 may be provided with various information related to the web page to which he or she wishes to access without receiving a separate search word while being provided with the web page access service. In particular, the user is provided with information about a place included in a setting range at his location without a separate location designation.

In addition, as the local information corresponding to the real name is provided according to the location information of the user, even if the same real name is input, different local information is provided according to their location information of each user.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the location information of the user is extracted according to the IP address of the client 30. However, when the client 30 is directly connected, the site operation unit 121 is provided from the client 30. A user's postal address corresponding to the member information database 111 can be searched using the member ID, and the user's location information can be extracted based on the postal address.

In addition, instead of extracting the location information of the user from the local information providing system 10, the client 30 is provided with an input window for inputting the location information, and then the client 30 is provided through the input window. Location information input directly from the location information may be used as location information of the user for providing local information.

In addition, when the client 3 inputs an access word including a region name, the client 3 may search the region information database by the above method, and then display the search result along with the directions and directions according to the user's IP address.
