An on-demand UCC providing server 100 for providing a requesting client with a UCC uploaded by the received UCC providing client 300; A database server 500 storing various kinds of information necessary for the on-demand UCC providing server 100 to perform its function; Location information providing server 600 for providing the location information with respect to the IP (internet protocol) address of the client by the request of the on-demand UCC providing server 100; Payment server 700 for processing the client's payment for the use of the service provided by the on-demand UCC providing server 100; An authentication server 800 for authenticating payment processing of the payment server 700 based on the authentication information of the member received from the client connected to the on-demand UCC providing server 100; And an interface server 400 that provides an interface environment for interconnection between the above-described components.

In the above-described configuration, the location information providing server 600, the payment server 700, and the authentication server 800 is connected to the on-demand UCC providing server 100 through the interface server 400, that is, the server described above Although all illustrated as being mounted in one system, the location information providing server 600, the payment server 700, and the authentication server 800 is mounted on a separate system from the on-demand UCC providing server 100 and the Internet It may be connected to the on-demand UCC providing server 100 through 400. Here, the location information providing server 600 will be a whois (WHIOS) server.

The Internet 900 is a network of networks that connect computer networks scattered around the world through wired / wireless networks, and generally conforms to a communication protocol called Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP). According to the scheme, all clients and servers connected to the Internet 900 are assigned a globally unique IP address from an IP address management agent, that is, an Internet service provider (ISP). Here, the IP address is based on the area where the client or server is located. On the other hand, the method of wirelessly accessing the Internet 900 is based on a platform such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) or WIPI and wireless Internet access through a mobile communication network or through a public wireless LAN and an access point. For example, there is a wireless Internet service (WiBro or WiMax) that provides high-speed Internet access even during stationary or slow travel at ADSL quality and cost.

The client 200 or 300 may be a personal computer such as a laptop or a desktop, or a mobile communication terminal that guarantees portability and mobility. The mobile communication terminals may be referred to as a PCS (PerSonal Communication System) or GSM (Global System for Mobile). such as communications (PDC), personal digital cellular (PDC), personal handyphone system (PHS), personal digital assistant (PDA), international mobile telecommunication (IMT) -2000 terminals, digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) phones, and smart phones All types of handheld based wireless communication devices.

Specifically, the interface server 400 allows the client to access the on-demand UCC providing server 100 through the Internet 900, and converts various pieces of information of the on-demand UCC providing server 100 to meet the communication standards. It provides or provides the information received from the client via the Internet 900 to the on-demand UCC providing server 100, and may include a database interworking device (CGI) for transmitting and receiving information with other systems.

On-demand UCC providing server 100, to perform the above-described functions, UCC request receiving unit 110, client positioning unit 120, UCC request notification unit 130, UCC provision application processing unit 140, UCC system Study 150, and the UCC may be provided including a compensation processing unit 160.

Here, the UCC request receiving unit 110 performs a function of receiving a request for the UCC providing request of the UCC request client 200, and for this purpose, a 'UCC request form' for describing the UCC order information is provided to the UCC request client ( 200). Therefore, the user sets the conditions, such as the type and content of the UCC to be provided through the UCC request form, and the request region. For example, a user can receive accurate price information of reconstructed apartments in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, etc. through the on-demand UCC providing server 100 according to the present invention through the local residents, and hold an event as a preparation for various events. Local field trip information can be provided through local residents.

The client positioning unit 120 checks a specific region set by the UCC request client 200 among the UCC order information input through the UCC request receiving unit 110, and all the accesses to the on-demand UCC providing server 100. The function of checking the IP address of the client, and the location information where the client connected to the identified IP address is located through the location information providing server 600 or preferably the location information DB 510 which will be described later. It will perform the function.

The UCC request notification unit 130 selects a client corresponding to a specific region set by the UCC request client 200 from among the clients whose location is confirmed by the client location determining unit 120, and sends them to the UCC request client 200. UCC order information will be performed. Here, the notification form may be an email, and more preferably, it may be a pop-up window or an advertisement window that allows a user to immediately check the announcement.

UCC provision application processing unit 140 has a function of receiving the application for the UCC provision of the UCC provision client 300 confirmed by the UCC request notification unit 130, and the application of the received UCC provision client 300 Function to deliver the contents to the UCC request client (200), and if the UCC request client (200) received the application of the UCC providing client 300 in this way accepts the application to the UCC providing client (300) It will function as a formal request for provision.

The UCC providing unit 150 performs the function of providing the UCC provided by the UCC providing client 300 to the corresponding UCC request client 200, more specifically, the UCC provided by the UCC providing client 300 is a user It will be provided to the UCC request client 200 through an e-mail or a mini homepage, public or private bulletin board of the on-demand UCC providing server 100, and the like.

When the UCC provided to the UCC request client 200 is a paid service, the UCC providing compensation processing unit 160 performs a function of compensating for the corresponding cost of providing the UCC to the client providing the corresponding UCC. For example, the UCC providing compensation processing unit 160 transfers a predetermined portion of the electronic money allocated to the client provided with the UCC to the client providing the UCC in the electronic money information DB 540 which will be described later. Will perform.

The database 500 may include the location information DB 510, the member information DB 520, the UCC information DB 530, and the electronic money information DB 540.

Here, the location information DB (510) stores the local information about the IP address, for example, IPv4 address system, for example, 210.221.160.0 ~ 210.221.160.255 IP address of 'Jeonnam Mokpo', 58.180.255.192 ~ 58.180.255.255 In this IP address, information about each region in Korea, such as 'Seoul Gangseo-gu', and information about each region of the world is stored.

The member information DB 520 stores user information registered as a member in the on-demand UCC providing system according to the present invention, where the user information includes, for example, a member ID, a password, a mobile terminal number, an address, an email account, a resident. It can be a number, a name, and so on.

The UCC information DB 530 stores UCC information uploaded by the client through the on-demand UCC providing server 100.

The electronic money information DB 540 stores electronic money information assigned to members of the on-demand UCC providing system according to the present invention by payment processing of the payment server 700.

Figure 2 is a flow chart for explaining a location-based on-demand UCC providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the subject is revealed that the on-demand UCC providing server 100.

First, the UCC request client 200 accesses the on-demand UCC providing server 100 through the Internet 900, performs a member login, and then requests a UCC (steps S11 to S15), accordingly. In step S17, the on-demand UCC providing server 100 is to transmit the UCC request form to the UCC request client 200 requesting this.

Next, in step S19 receives the UCC order information from the UCC request client 200, proceeds to step S21 to check the specific region set by the client from the input UCC order information, and proceeds to step S23 UCC server on demand After confirming the IP addresses of all the clients connected to the 100, proceed to step S25 and the UCC order requested by the client of the IP address corresponding to the specific region identified in step S21 among the IP addresses identified in step S23 described above. The contents will be announced. Here, the IP address verification in step S23 may be preferably via the location information DB (510). In addition, the notification form in step S25 may be a pop-up window or an advertisement window so that the user can immediately check the announcement. However, when the client of the IP address corresponding to the specific region identified in step S21 among the IP addresses checked in step S23 is logged into the UCC providing server, the logged in member among the members of the on-demand UCC providing server 100. The UCC order contents may be notified to the user by using e-mail or a short message service (SMS).

On the other hand, the client in the region through the step S25 will check the order history of the UCC request client 200, accordingly, in step S27 the UCC providing client 300 applies for UCC provision to the on-demand UCC providing server 100 As will be, in step S29 on-demand UCC providing server 100 is to deliver the contents of the application of the UCC providing client 300 to the corresponding UCC request client (200). Here, the application content will be the production process, production period, brief contents to be included in the UCC.

Next, when the UCC request client 200 confirms the application received through step S29 and accepts it in step S31, the process proceeds to step S33, and the UCC providing client 300 is formally requested to provide the UCC. When the UCC providing client 300 uploads the UCC in step S35 according to the request of step S33, the process proceeds to step S37 to provide the received UCC to the corresponding UCC request client 200.

Meanwhile, in step S39, the on-demand UCC providing server 100 confirms whether the UCC provided or to be provided to the UCC request client 200 is due to a paid service or a free service. Here, the setting for the paid / free service may be performed when the UCC request client 200 creates the UCC request form. At this time, if the UCC request client 200 has set up the paid service, it will be preferable that the notification content to the client performed in step S25 includes the payment amount for the UCC provision price.

If the result of the check in step S39 is a free service, the process proceeds to step S41 and the UCC received through step S35 can be disclosed to other users.

On the other hand, if the check result in step S39 is a paid service, the process proceeds to step S43, and the UCC received through step S35 is closed to other users, and in step S45, the UCC providing client ( Pay 300). In this case, the payment may be preferably performed by transferring a predetermined portion of the electronic money allocated to the client provided with the UCC from the electronic money information DB 540 to the client providing the UCC.
