You can create an environment that can

Hereinafter, a method for updating personalized information according to the present invention will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of updating customized information according to the present invention.

Prior to describing an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal means 101 may be installed with an application for a customized information updating system downloaded from the service server 102 operated by the present applicant, the customized information updating method of the present invention May be implemented by the operation of the application.

The application may be a program downloaded from the service server 102 for a special purpose installed in the terminal means 101, and the keyword input by the user, that is, the keyword causing the continuous reception of the updated content, may be a message. And generating (first message generation) the customized information update system 100 of the present invention.

The application may be installed in the terminal means 101 by the manufacturer at the time of manufacture of the terminal means 101, in addition to installation by download.

In step S201, the personalized information updating system 100 receives from the terminal means 101 a first message containing a keyword generated by an application running in the terminal means 101. This step S201 is a process of receiving the first message from the terminal means in which the application for the personalized information update system is installed.

The first message generated through the application includes a keyword regarding content desired by the user of the terminal means 101. Here, the keyword may be a term that becomes a criterion for classifying content. For example, when the user inputs the keyword 'golf' through the application driven to the terminal means 101, the application generates the first message using the keyword 'golf'.

In this step S201, the personalized information updating system 100 may receive, via the terminal means 101, information on a service providing period, user authentication, etc. together with the first message.

In receiving the first message, the personalized information updating system 100 receives the first message based on an SMS or a WAP-PUSH scheme. As described above, the SMS method is a method in which a user using the terminal means 101 can send and receive a short sentence message using only the terminal means 101 without using any other equipment, and the WAP-PUSH method is a terminal. The user using the means 101 refers to a method of accessing the wireless Internet simultaneously with the click of a specific button by the terminal means 101 alone without using any other equipment.

In the environment in which the application is driven in the terminal means 101, the case where the user of the terminal means 101 wants to receive the content (new content) corresponding to the keyword 'weather' at 9:00 am every day.

The user inputs 'weather' in the keyword input part of the application, '9 am every morning' in the service providing cycle input part, and his name 'Hong Gil-dong', ID (ID) in the user authentication information input part. ), 'ABC' and password '1234' can be entered.

The application may generate a first message including various input information including a keyword 'weather' input by the user, and the personalized information updating system 100 may generate the first message by SMS or WAP-PUSH. Can be received from the terminal means (101).

In step S202, the personalized information updating system 100 performs an authentication process in association with the terminal means 101 which transmitted the received first message. This step S202 is a process of acquiring authentication information about the terminal means 101 or the user of the terminal means 101 from the received first message and performing a predetermined authentication process.

As an example of the authentication process, the personalized information updating system 100 determines whether or not the authentication information in the first message matches the personal information of the related user previously held, and if the user information is matched, the user or terminal means. The method of authenticating by limiting the number 101 may be illustrated.

As another example of authentication processing, the personalized information update system 101 may authenticate a user such as a user name 'Hong Kil-Dong', an ID 'ABC', or a password '1234' input by the user through an application of the terminal means 101. By receiving the first message including information and a specific code such as '000111' assigned to the terminal means 101, the authentication process may be performed on the terminal means 101 and the user.

Here, the specific code assigned to the terminal means 101 may illustrate, for example, a Wash Code of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), which is one of wireless communication methods. The wash code may be used by a transceiver that relays between a predetermined server and a mobile communication terminal.

When authentication processing is not performed in this step S202 (No direction), the customization information updating system 100 can notify the terminal means 101 of the inability to provide the service. On the other hand, when authentication processing is performed in this step S202 (Yes direction), the customization information updating system 100 proceeds to step S203 in the following order.

In step S203, the personalized information updating system 100 extracts the keyword from the received first message. Step S203 is a process of extracting a keyword of content desired by a user from the received first message. In this case, the personalized information update system 100 may extract the service providing cycle of the content from the first message or may receive an input from the terminal means 101.

In step S204, the personalized information updating system 100 registers the extracted keyword in the second information database 104. Step S204 is a process of storing and retaining keywords in the second information database 104, which are the causes of content search. At this time, the personalized information update system 100 may also register the service provision period associated with the keyword in the second information database 104 together.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by maintaining and storing the keyword of the content desired by the user, it is possible to create an environment in which the user does not need to input a keyword for extracting the content to be provided by the user each time.

For example, if the keyword extracted from the first message is' weather 'and the service providing cycle is' every morning at 6 o'clock, the personalized information updating system 100 may update the content updated for the past 24 hours every 6 o'clock every morning. In order to provide the user, the keyword 'weather' or the service providing period 'every morning 6 am' of the updated content of the keyword may be registered in the second information database 104.

In addition, in the step S204, the customization information updating system 100 deletes the keyword registered in the second information database 104 when the keyword deletion request is made from the terminal means 101. That is, when receiving the keyword deletion request from the terminal means 101, the personalized information update system 100 deletes the keyword registered in the second information database 104 and the service providing period maintained in association with the keyword. Can be.

Accordingly, the personalized information updating system 100 may no longer provide updated content information on the keyword to the user according to the user's request.

For example, it is assumed that the personalized information update system 100 provides the user with updated content for a keyword such as '2006 professional baseball'.

In 2007, the user is no longer required to have updated content of the keyword '2006 professional baseball'. Therefore, the user can use the personalized information update system 100 to generate the keyword '2006 professional'. Baseball, and the personalized information update system 100 deletes the keyword '2006 professional baseball' from the second information database 104 and sends the user an E-mail or a telephone. Alternatively, a notification message such as a text message may be notified that the keyword '2006 professional baseball' has been deleted.

Alternatively, the customized information updating system 100 may notify the user of a notification message such as an e-mail, a phone call or a text message when the updated content for the keyword is permanently or temporarily impossible by the terminal means 101. Through the update content may be informed that the service can not be provided.

For example, it is assumed that the user is provided with updated contents for a keyword such as 'pro baseball' through a personalized information updating method.

In a period when no professional baseball is played, the updated content of the keyword "professional baseball" does not occur. Accordingly, the personalized information updating system 100 temporarily updates the content of the keyword 'professional baseball' registered in the second information database 104 through a notification message such as an e-mail, a phone call or a text message to the user. It may be informed that it is not provided.

In step S205, the customization information updating system 100 retrieves the content from the first information database 103 using the extracted keyword or the keyword registered in the second information database 104. FIG.

If the keyword is not registered in the second information database 104, the personalized information update system 100 may search for content using only the keyword extracted from the first message.

In addition, the personalized information update system 100 may perform the search for the content in consideration of the service providing period input from the terminal means 101 or registered in the second information database 104.

In addition, the personalized information updating system 100 may retrieve the updated content from the first information database when a service providing cycle recorded in the second information database 104 arrives without receiving the first message. .

In step S206, the personalized information updating system 100 transmits to the terminal means 101 a second message generated including the retrieved content. This step S206 is a process of including the retrieved content from the first information database 103 in the second message and transmitting it to the terminal means 101 as the service providing cycle arrives.

At this time, the customized information updating system 100 may transmit the second message to the terminal means 101 by the SMS or the WAP-PUSH method described above.

In step S207, the terminal means 101 which has received the second message automatically drives the application regardless of the call preparation state of the terminal means 101 in conjunction with the reception of the second message. The call preparation state may mean a state in which the terminal means 101 is waiting for a call, for example, a state in which a folder of the terminal means 101 is opened. That is, the terminal means 101 automatically drives the application in conjunction with the reception of the second message.

In step S207, the terminal means 101 extracts content from the second message and performs a data update process using the extracted content under an environment in which the application is driven. Accordingly, according to the present invention, even if the user does not recognize the transmission of the second message to the terminal means 101, it is possible to create an environment in which the content update process by automatic driving of the application is automatically performed.

In addition, the terminal means 101 in this step S207 may provide the user with the notification message generated in association with the update process via the terminal means 101. That is, the terminal means 101 can inform the user that the predetermined content has been data updated by providing the user with a notification message regarding data update. The notification message may include a text message, a sound, a vibration, a light, and the like previously promised to the user.

In step 208, the terminal means 101 implements, by the application, the content extracted from the updated content or the second message, in association with the generation of the predetermined command.

The command may be generated, for example, as a user clicks a specific button of the terminal means 101, and in connection with the generation of the command, an application may allow the updated content to be implemented through the screen of the terminal means 101. .
