You can also set to browse the blogs 30 of those people to find a share of interest.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a service for searching for a share of interest based on a network address book according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, information (eg, name, phone number, email address, blog address [blog URL], etc.) of friends [ie, user B, user C, and user D] is registered in the user's network address book on the address book server 20. Let's say

Meanwhile, in another embodiment to be described later, the blog address of friends may not be registered in the user A's network address book. In another embodiment, the address book server 20 may be linked with a server (not shown) of the blog service company. You can also check their blog address [blog URL] to find out what their friends 'blogs are through their friends' names, phone numbers, and email addresses.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment to be described below, not only the blogs of the friends registered in the user A's network address book, but also the blogs of others known to the user A's friends may be searched. That is, information of another person (that is, user E, user F, user G as a friend of user C) that user C] knows is registered in user C's network address book.

Next, a method of providing a service for searching for a sharer of interest based on the network address book of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The address book server 20 searches the friends 'blog 30 and searches the friends' blog 30 based on the information of the friends [user B, user C, user D] registered in the user's network address book (201). .

At this time, the address book server 20, if the blog address [blog URL] is included in the information of the friends registered in the user's network address book, or immediately check what the blog address, or register in the user's network address book If the friend's information does not contain the blog address [blog URL], the blog service provider's server can be used to find out what the blog's address is using the friend's name, phone number, and email address. Check it.

In another embodiment, the address book server 20 may not only be friends registered in user A's network address book, but may also be registered in user C's network address book as a friend registered in user A's network address book [user E, user F, user). Based on the information of G], the user 30 can check the blogs 30 of the acquaintances of the acquaintances and can also browse the blogs 30 of these persons.

Thereafter, the address book server 20 reads the user A's friends [share; The term 'network' will be expressed in parallel. The tag, keyword, content information, and the like on the blog 30 are extracted to collect the interests of the network of the user A (202). For example, if User B's blog's tag is "Snowboard," User B's interests are collected as "Ski", and if User C's blog keyword is "Jatech", then User C's interests will be If the content of the user D's blog is 'cooking video', the user's interests are collected as 'cooking'. As such, the interests of user E, friends of user C, are collected as 'golf', the interests of user F as 'interiors', and the interests of user G as 'child care'.

Then, the address book server 20, among the interests of the collected contacts, the interests of people [user B, user C and user D] (that is, people registered in user A's network address book) that user A knows, User A's network address book is stored as network interest information (network interest fields in the form of address book side information) and known to the user A [user E, user F and user G] (ie user A's network). Interests of other users registered in the network address book of the user C registered in the address book) are stored in the network address book of the user C, which the user A knows as the network interest information [network interest field in the form of address book additional information] (203). ). For example, "Ski" is stored in "User B network interest field" in User A's network address book, "Jatech" is stored in "User C social network interest field", and "Cooking" is stored in "User D social network interest field." 'Golf' is stored in the 'User E network interest field' on the user's network address book, 'Interior' is stored in the 'User F network interest field', and 'Parenting' is stored in the 'User G network interest field'. As another example, user A or user C may directly write and store the social interest information of friends in their network address book.

Subsequently, when the address book server 20 receives an interest keyword search such as 're-tech' from user A on the mobile terminal 10 side and requests to search for interest sharer [user A inputs an interest keyword on the mobile terminal], the input is received. The interest keyword (eg, 'Jatech') retrieves the network interest information on this user A's network address book and the network interest information on user C's network address book, which is an acquaintance of this user A (204, 205). At this time, the address book server 20 searches the network interest fields of the user A's network address book and the user C's network address book with an interest keyword (eg, 're-tech'), and the user C information [eg; Name, phone number, email address, blog address [blog URL], etc. On the other hand, user A may set a interest search range with input of a keyword of interest, and in this case, the address book server 20 may use the keyword on the user's network address book as the keyword if the interest search range is 'a person that the user knows'. The network interest field is searched, and if the interest search range is 'a person who knows a user', the network interest field in user A's network address book and user C's network address book is searched for by the keyword.

Then, the address book server 20 generates a list of interest sharers based on the search result and provides it to the user A on the portable terminal 10 (206). Here, the list of interest sharers includes the interest sharer's name, phone number, email address, blog address [blog URL], and the like. As another example, the address book server 20 transmits a search result to the mobile terminal 10, and thus, the mobile terminal 10 may generate a list of interest sharers and display the same to the user A through a screen display.

Thereafter, the user A selects a specific person from the people on the interest sharer list displayed on the mobile terminal 10 to communicate the interests through the communication means (207). In other words, user A makes a phone call, sends an SMS, or sends an email to user C, the interest sharer who wants to talk about the interest of 'Jatech' from the list of interest sharers according to his decision. You can communicate about common interests by sending, logging on to a blog, and so on.

On the other hand, the method of the present invention as described above can be written in a computer program. And the code and code segments constituting the program can be easily inferred by a computer programmer in the art. In addition, the written program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (information storage medium), and read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. The recording medium may include any type of computer readable recording medium.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.
