The present invention relates to a digital content display method using a file download window.

Recently, if you want to download the desired file from the server's file library, a dedicated download window using a plug-in program installed in a web browser, such as applets, ActiveX control, etc. ) Is a trend.

While downloading a file using such a dedicated download window, various methods for displaying digital content including advertisements through the download window have been proposed.

For example, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-0036629 discloses a first step in which a web server transmits a web page to the user as the user accesses the website; A second step of determining whether there is a plug-in program capable of receiving an advertisement in the web browser of the user and displaying it in a download window as the user requests transmission of a file that the user wants to download; And a third step of transmitting an advertisement and a file to be downloaded to the user as a result of the determination of the second step so that the advertisement is displayed in the download window.

However, according to this technique, since the time for displaying digital content such as an actual advertisement in the download window is determined by the line speed of the Internet, there is a disadvantage in that the content display effect is not largely obtained.

In addition, there is a problem that the actual content display effect is small in the process of downloading the file because most of the users do different tasks without seeing the progress.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the display effect of digital content when downloading a file using a dedicated download window.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the embodiments described below.

The above object is to select a file stored in the server from the user terminal device; Driving a plug-in program in the user terminal device; Setting a unit time to be checked in consideration of the display time of the preset digital content and the number of progress steps; The plug-in program downloading the file to the user terminal device and simultaneously displaying the digital content; Checking whether the plug-in program has reached the set unit time and waiting for a user input whenever it arrives; And when receiving the user input, performing a download or a task related to the download on the file.

Preferably, the setting of the unit time may be made by further considering the size of the downloaded file.

In addition, the download-related operation may include a virus check of the downloaded file or movement of a downloaded file stored in the temporary buffer to a user-specified path.

Preferably, the plug-in program downloads the divided file to the user terminal and simultaneously inputs a search word; The method may further include listing a plurality of web pages preset in the server in response to the search word, and sequentially displaying digital content corresponding to each web page.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention.

The basic concept of the present invention is to allow the user to step-by-step the download of the file in order to expose the advertisement as continuously as possible while the user downloads the file. In this respect, for example, if a user requires multiple user confirmations during the download of the file, the likelihood that the user will see the displayed advertisement is that high.

1 is a screen showing an example of a download window to which the present invention is applied. Most of the download window is occupied by a content display unit 122 for displaying digital contents, such as advertisements, and the like. Button 132 is located. In addition, below the search word input unit 134, buttons 142, 144, and 146 for instructing the step-by-step download of the file are arranged, and below the message display unit 150 indicating a progress message for explaining the progress of the file download. .

1 is only an example, and as long as the above components are provided, the download window may be designed in any form.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a program forming a download window of the present invention.

The display module 120 displays the digital content provided by the control module 110 from the server 100 on the content display unit 122, and at the same time the buttons 142, 144, and 146 according to the control module 110 instructions. The property is changed and a progress message is displayed on the message display unit 150.

The input module 140 transmits a user input input through the buttons 142, 144, and 146 to the control module 110.

The search module 130 detects that the search button 132 is pressed and transmits a search word input through the search word input unit 134 to the control module 110.

In addition, the control module 110 transmits and displays the digital content provided from the server 100 to the display module 120, receives a command from the server 100, and causes the display module 120 to display a button 142. The attributes of the buttons 142, 144, and 146 change, for example, or the display characteristics of the buttons 142 and 146 change. In addition, the message display unit 150 displays a progress message indicating the file download progress. In particular, the control module 110 checks the display time of the digital content and temporarily stops downloading the file or calls another operation when the preset time is reached.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a digital content display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. For convenience of explanation, an advertisement is described as an example of digital content displayed.

The user accesses the server 100 from a wireless terminal device such as a computer system or a mobile phone capable of network connection, and selects a file to be downloaded by the user (step S31).

In this case, accessing the server 100 may mean, for example, accessing a web page (wired or wireless) provided by the server 100 using a web browser, but is not limited thereto.

When the file to be downloaded is selected as described above, the server 100 checks whether the plug-in program for driving the download window is installed in the user terminal device and requests to install the file if it is not installed. If the plug-in program is already installed in the user terminal device or newly installed and the installation is completed, the download window as shown in FIG. 1 is activated and displayed as pop-up (step S32).

The control module 110 instructs the display module 120 to display the message "Press the start button to start downloading the file" on the message display unit 150 and cause the button 142 to flash or other buttons 144, 146) to change the color to wait for user input.

When the user presses the button 142, the control module 110 detects that the button 142 is pressed and requests the server 100 to transmit data, and the server 100 transmits the data packet of the selected file and the data of the advertisement to be displayed. The packet and predetermined advertisement display time information are transmitted (step S33).

The control module 110 receives the data packet of the selected file, the data packet of the advertisement to be displayed and the predetermined advertisement display time information from the server 100, displays the advertisement on the content display unit 122, and the data packet of the file The display time is stored in the storage device of the device, and the display time is counted from when the advertisement is displayed on the content display unit 122.

In addition, the control module 110 causes the display module 120 to display, for example, the message "File is being downloaded" on the message display unit 150 and download the file between the button 142 and the button 144. Allow the progress of to be displayed in the form of a bar.

The control module 110 receives the advertisement display time information from the server 100 and determines the unit time to be checked in consideration of the size of the downloaded file and the number of buttons. For example, assuming that the preset advertisement display time is 30 seconds, the file size to be downloaded is 6Mbytes, and there are three buttons, the first and second times are set to 15 seconds each with two unit times to be checked. .

While the file is being downloaded, the control module 110 determines whether the first time has come (step S34). If it is determined that the first time has been reached, the control module 110 temporarily stops downloading the file, and causes the display module 120 to press the "verify button" on the message display unit 150 to start the verification of the downloaded file. Button 144 blinks together with the message " please " to wait for user input (step S35). As such, the reason for displaying the verification of the file not related to the download of the file is to not give the user the recognition that the time to download the file is long, and other terms such as "next" may be used.

On the other hand, if the download of the file is completed before the first time is reached, the downloaded file is kept in the temporary buffer in the storage of the user terminal device.

When the user presses the button 144, the download of the file is resumed from the position at which the download was interrupted (step S36), and the message display unit 150, for example, verifies the downloaded file by the instruction of the control module 110. Yes "message is displayed and the progress of the file download can be displayed between the button 144 and the button 146 as well.

While the remaining file portion is being downloaded, the control module 110 determines whether the second time has come (step S37). If it is determined that the second time has been reached, the control module 110 causes the display module 120 to display a message on the message display unit 150 with the message " The download of the file is completed. 146) blinks to wait for user input.

On the other hand, if the file has already been downloaded during the first time, the operation for moving the file held in the temporary buffer to the folder designated by the user or the default folder is performed during the second time.

Subsequently, when the user presses the button 146, the download window is deactivated and disappears to complete all operations (step S38).

By displaying the advertisement while downloading the file through this process, the user must watch the file download process and repeat the process of pressing the button 3 as described above to completely download the file. You can increase the time to expose it.

The above embodiment is merely an example and the following modifications may be considered.

For example, files to be downloaded can be split into the same size or into different sizes. In addition, when the download of the file is completed in the first time, it is possible to perform another operation, such as a virus check during the second time. In particular, if necessary, the unit time to be checked may be different from each other, for example, the first time may be set to 10 seconds, and the second time may be set to 20 seconds.

4 is a download window showing another embodiment of a method for displaying digital content of the present invention.

This embodiment shows an advertisement associated with a webpage searched for by a user entering a search term while downloading a file.

Referring to FIG. 4, for example, when a user inputs a search term “flower delivery” into the search term input unit 134 and presses the search button 132 to search for content, the content display unit 122 displays “ The advertisements linked to each web page are displayed sequentially with the list of web pages that are the result of "flower delivery".

This embodiment compares the embodiment of FIG. 1 by displaying a simple profile of each web page in the form of an advertisement with a result preset by the server for the search term when the user makes a simple search while downloading a file. There is an advantage that can increase the advertising effect.

Here, the search result may be provided in a customized manner in consideration of user information. In detail, the server may provide a customized search result for maximizing an advertisement effect based on a combination of gender, age, region, etc. from user information based on a search result for the input search word. For example, if the search word is "flower delivery," it may be displayed in the search box in the adjacent order based on the address where the user resides among the user information. In addition, a customized search button using the user information may be provided with a separate search button for the user to select.

Although the present invention has been described above, various changes are possible at the level of those skilled in the art. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above embodiment but should be interpreted by the claims described below.

According to the present invention, when a file is downloaded using a dedicated download window, a display effect of digital content including an advertisement can be improved.
