Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings looks at in detail the configuration of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

<1. System Configuration>

1 illustrates a concept of a personal information retrieval service model of an internet web page according to the present invention.

The personal information retrieval service according to the present invention, when a user leaves or stores personal information on a specific web page while surfing the Internet, selects or inputs a search word related to personal information from the user and receives the Internet visited by the search word. The web pages corresponding to the address are searched and provided as a search result to the user when personal information is detected. The user may determine whether to delete the personal information from the web page.

The search word in the present invention refers to a keyword of personal information or some characters of the keyword, and includes, for example, a social security number, a telephone number, an account number, and a credit card number. If a user enjoys using the Internet bulletin board and inputs a comment or uploads data in this process, personal information such as a user's real name, ID, or nickname remains on the web page. In addition, social security numbers and telephone numbers may remain. Accordingly, in the present invention, by extracting important personal information from the user's member information and presenting it to the user by default, specific personal information is selected or specific personal information is directly input as a search word from the user, and the web corresponding to the Internet address set by the user is selected. Search for the page and delete any personal information remaining on the searched web page.

In the present invention, a search target is a web page corresponding to an Internet address visited by a user in the process of using the Internet, and the Internet visit status information is stored in an Internet history folder of the user terminal. Various browsers are installed in the user terminal and each browser has its own internet history folder. For reference, Internet Explorer web browsers use the "\ Documents and Settings \ User Account \ Local Settings \ History" folder as the default history folder. Of course, the history folder can be changed to another folder if desired. The path information of the history folder is separately stored as system information of each user terminal. Therefore, in the present invention, regardless of the type of the user terminal and the path of the Internet history folder of each user, it is possible to extract the Internet visit address of the individual user by checking the path information registered in the system information.

In addition to the Internet history folder, the present invention allows a user to input a specific Internet address. This is because, when a user uses a specific Internet address in another user terminal, the Internet address does not remain in the user terminal. In addition, since the Internet history folder automatically manages capacity to hold the most recently visited address data, the Internet address visited a long time is automatically deleted. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is possible to recommend a specific Internet address to the user and be selected as the user. For example, it allows users to choose whether to present and search large portal sites with the most specified Internet addresses or subscription members.

On the other hand, in the present invention, once the search is completed, the history data for the searched Internet addresses are created and the next search is performed on the Internet address having the changed information by comparing the information of the Internet address, for example, the last visit time. It is desirable to perform the search to improve the efficiency of the search. Of course, the user may search for the entire Internet addresses searched every time according to the configuration. In addition, the user of the present invention can register the reservation check through the environment setting. When a user reserves a search word, a search target Internet address, and a search point (periodical or temporary), the user is automatically executed at each reservation point to automatically search for personal information.

2 shows a configuration of a personal information retrieval system 1 of an internet web page according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The personal information retrieval system 1 of an Internet web page according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a search term setting means 21 for receiving a search term from a user, an Internet address determination means 22 for determining an Internet address of a search target, and a search term. And search engine means 23 for searching for personal information using the Internet address, and search result output means 24 for displaying the search results on the screen.

The search term setting means 21 receives and stores a string of specific personal information to be searched by a user as a search term. In this case, the server 3 may present the personal information extracted by referring to the user's member information to the user to select specific information. Therefore, the user first sets at least one search term and uses the search term as it is afterwards or edit / add / delete it.

The Internet address determination means 22 determines the Internet address of the search target. Referring to FIG. 3, the Internet address determination function 221 of the history folder defaults to the Internet addresses stored in the user's Internet history folder. Here, the Internet address selection function 222 of the history folder selects some of the entire Internet addresses of the history folder searched by the user and edits the search target. In addition, the user-configured Internet address determination function 223 receives an Internet address directly from the user and designates a search target. As described above, at least one or more Internet addresses are presented from the server 3 and a specific Internet address is selected. It is also possible. Of these three functions, the Internet address resolution function 221 of the history folder is a default function, but the remaining functions 222 and 223 are optional functions, and can be added or omitted by the user. This allows the user to determine the Internet address of the search target by appropriately combining these functions 221 to 223 through selection in the preferences at every search.

The search engine means 23 searches for web pages including a search word in the currently set search target Internet address. A detailed description with reference to FIG. 4 is as follows.

In the present invention, as described above, in order to shorten the search time, when each search is completed, the address name and the last opened date (last visit time) are stored as history (history) data for each individual Internet address. This historical data is stored in the form of a file or DB. Based on this, the search history search function 231 searches whether the Internet address of the current search target exists in the search history data. If the internet address exists in the historical data and the date information opened last is the same, the search is completed and the next internet address is selected as the search target. That is, the search service of the present invention is performed only on new Internet addresses that do not exist in the search history or Internet addresses that need to be newly searched due to a mismatch of information. Of course, this function 231 is an optional function and the user may not set this function in the preferences.

Once the Internet addresses of the search targets are determined, the web page receiving function 232 connects to a site of an individual internet address and receives a corresponding web page. The web page content search function 233 compares whether the search term pattern exists in the content of the web page, and if the search term pattern is detected, the search result generation function 235 adds the Internet address information and the matched search term to the search result data. The file history generation function 236 adds the internet address, the last opened date (last visit time), and the search result to the history data and stores it. If this process is applied to all the individual files to be searched, the search ends.

In addition, the real-time change web page search function 236 monitors the user's Internet usage in real time and automatically generates a search result by real-time searching whether personal information exists on the web page when a connection of a specific web page is detected. . For example, when the user accesses the web page A and then goes to the web page B, the system 1 informs the user of the personal information currently on the web page A.

2, the search result output means 24 outputs a list of Internet web pages containing personal information as a search result on the screen. This is the case when the user selects a batch output of search results as an option in preferences. The user can directly access by selecting the individual Internet address displayed on the screen and receive a web page to check and delete the personal information stored therein. If, as an option, an individual output of a search result is selected, whenever a search word is detected in an individual web page, the search is stopped for a while and the web page including personal information is automatically displayed on the screen. The user manually selects the deletion and selects the Resume Search button to start the rest of the search.

Components 21 to 24 of the personal information retrieval system 1 of the Internet web page described above may be installed in the local environment of the user terminal 2 or the server 3 as shown in FIG. Can be installed on The user terminal 2 installed in the local environment includes a computer terminal, a mobile communication terminal, a PDA, and the like, and the type thereof is not particularly limited. In the network environment built on the server 3, the user terminal 2 accesses the homepage of the server 3, registers a search word, and downloads and installs a search engine means 23 to receive a search service. In other words, this method connects to the server 3 and downloads a search engine each time a user is provided with a search service.

<2. How to Configure>

The method for searching for personal information stored in an Internet web page according to an embodiment of the present invention can be realized through the construction of the personal information search system 1 described above.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an entire procedure of a personal information retrieval method of an Internet web page according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The user installs a personal information management program in the user terminal 2 (S10). The user executes the installation program contained in the storage medium (CD, diskette) or installs or downloads the installation program after network connection to the external server (3). After the installation is completed, the user executes the personal information management program and receives a version check service from the external server 3 every time the new program is automatically installed.

When the personal information management program is executed, the user selects specific information to be searched from his personal information presented from the server or directly inputs a search word, and the user terminal 2 stores it (S20). The search terms have already been described as strings such as social security numbers, telephone numbers, and account numbers. Here, the user may be presented with a previously set search word and newly edit the search word.

Along with the input of the personal information, the user sets an internet address to be searched for and the user terminal 2 stores it (S30). If the user sets the address determination function 221 of the Internet history folder in the environment setting, the user does not need to select a search target separately because the Internet address is automatically determined. If an option other than this option is set for the user to select a search target, as shown in FIG. 6, an Internet address stored in the automatically searched Internet history folder is displayed on the screen, and then a specific Internet address is set as a search target from the user. Receive (S31). In addition, the user may be presented with the most frequently selected Internet address from the server 3 and select a specific Internet address or directly input a desired Internet address to add to the search target (S32). That is, the personal information management program extracts an Internet address and performs a search immediately by default, or displays an Internet address of all Internet history folders existing in the user terminal 2 and selects and receives a specific Internet address from the user.

After the search word and the search target are determined, when the user selects the search button, the search target searches whether the search term is recorded in a web page corresponding to the Internet addresses. Each time a search word is detected in a specific web page, the search result is recorded in the search result (S40).

The step S40 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 as follows. First, it is determined whether the Internet address information of the search target exists in the search history (S41). This process compares the information of Internet addresses and compares the last visit time. If the corresponding Internet address exists in the search history and the information is the same, the search is performed and the step S41 is performed on the next file (S42). The steps S41 and S42 have already been described as being steps that can be omitted according to a user's environment setting.

 If the corresponding Internet address information does not exist in the search history or the visit information is inconsistent, the corresponding web page is provided after accessing the Internet address (S43). The search is performed by comparing the search word pattern set by the user in the provided web page (S44). If a search term pattern is found in the process of performing the search, the Internet address and the search term are added to the search result (S45).

When the search of the individual file is completed, the searched Internet address information (address name, last opened date) and the search result are added to the history data (S46). Even if a search word is not detected, the search result is added to the history data. The story data can be used to shorten the search time by searching only the new Internet address or the changed Internet address by the user's choice when searching for personal information. The above steps S41 to S46 are performed for each individual Internet address of the search target, and the search ends when all the Internet addresses are searched.

On the other hand, the step (S40), further comprising the step of monitoring the user's Internet usage in real time, and automatically detects whether the personal information remains on the web page in real time if the web page access is detected and generates a search result can do. This step is performed by the user's option setting and is performed independently of the user's search execution.

Referring to FIG. 5, after the search is completed, the search result is displayed on the screen to guide the user (S50). This step is performed when the user has chosen to receive search results in batches after completing a search for the entire Internet address. The user selects the Internet address displayed in the search results, checks the personal information on the web page displayed on the screen, and deletes it or leaves it alone. If the user's option setting is selected to be presented with a search result for each search of an individual web page, whenever personal information is found on the web page, the search may be suspended and the corresponding web page may be displayed and presented to the user. After checking the contents, the user presses the restart button and starts the rest of the search.

In the above steps (S10) to (S50), the user of the present invention can register the reservation check through the environment setting optionally by the user. When a user reserves a search word, a searched Internet address, and a search point (regular or temporary), it is automatically executed at each reservation point and personal information is automatically searched.

As described above, a system for retrieving personal information stored in an Internet web page according to the present invention and an embodiment of the method for retrieving the personal information are configured.
