- Fig. 2 shows an example to which the present invention is applied with the connection between the folders of the blogs for thepurpose ofassistinganunderstandingofthepresent invention.
- Tong configured by a classification unit according to the interest fields of the users as mentioned abovewillbemtroducedanddescribed.
- various functions of Tongs in the following description may be also applied to folders or directories created in the conventional blogs.
- a system may include a web site server 300, Internet 310, a Tong service apparatus 320, and one or more user computer terminals 330, etc.
- a user accesses the web site server 300 through the user computer terminal 330 interlinked to the Internet 310.
- the web site server 300 which is a host system, means a server that provides web pages of a relevant web site to the user computer terminal 330.
- the web site server 300 is a server that provides a portal site providing blog functions on the Internet. That is, the web site server 300 functions as an informationproviderforprovidinginformationtotheusercomputer terminal 330 through a homepage.
- the Tong service apparatus 320 is an apparatus that provides Tongs as objects having the concept similar to the folders of the blogs for each user according to the present invention.
- the Tong service apparatus 320 may generate one or more Tongs according to interest fields for each user and generate connection between users in the unit of Tong according to the interest fields for each user.
- the users collect various kinds of information from the web site server 300 through their computer terminals 330, classifythecollectedinformationaccordingtotheinterest fields of the users, and include the classified information in Tongs generated through the Tong service apparatus 320.
- the users instead of establishing connection between blogs of the users, by establishing connection between Tongs generated by the users having the concept of folders created according to the interest fields of the users, as described above, only a change of posts for the interest fields of the users can be effectively known.
- each user can generate one or more Tongs for each interest field.
- a set of Tongs generated by each user is defined as x My Tong' .
- the My Tong defined above may be understood as a concept similar to the conventional blogs containing one or more blogs. Accordingly, one My Tong is provided to each user in order to implement the present invention and one ormore Tongs are generated and managed in the My Tong according to the interest field of the user.

- Processing data through the Tong service apparatus 320 may be generally divided into two functions.
- One of the two functions is provision of a 'connection Tong update' menu on a service and another is notification through a remote controller.
- the connection Tong update menu may be implemented using database query. That is, basedonan identifierof a Tong connected by a particular user, a change in the Tong is displayed on a web page. To this end, it is preferable to record changes of all Tongs in a database. In the mean time, from the point of view of implementation, a data flowmaybe opposite to the above-mentioned data flow. First, individual Tongs record their change m a database irrespective of whether or not they are registered as neighboringTongs, andaparticularTongthat registers a different Tong as a neighboring Tong simply fetches and shows a change of the different Tong.
- the formof Push is used. That is, when an 'informer' as information means is displayed on a user's desktop computer, a separate informer server informs the informer of change of all Tongs of the user.
- the data flow may be again considered from two sides.
- a first side is a notification server towhichan informer client is connected.
- the notification server authenticates a user of the informer client, fetches information on a connection Tong of the user, andcopies the fetched information into a notification server-only database.
- a second side is a notification logic server that receives a change of Tongs from the web server 400. If the notification logic server determines that the change is information to be sent to a user who currently accesses the notification logic server, the notification logic server instructs the notification server to send notification information to the user who accessed the notification server. At this time, the determination is made with reference to a notification-only database copied by the notification server. The web server 400 sends all changes to the notification logic server with no determination to send a notification.
- a detailed Tong information provision procedure through the notification server will be described with reference to Figs. 15 and 16. More specifically, referring to Fig.
- the user accesses a Tong service provision system (that is, the Tong service apparatus) through the web server 400 of the Tong service apparatus 320 and receives a service of generating and managing Tongs in which the user is interested from the Tong service server 410.
- a Tong service provision system that is, the Tong service apparatus
- information on Tongs generated by the user is stored in the Tong information database 420.
- contents information for example, posting information
- contents information for example, posting information
- connection Tongs information on posting change of Tongs connected to the Tongs generated by the user (i.e., connection Tongs) is provided to the user. That is, when the Tong service server 410 confirms the access of the particular user, it fetches information on connection Tongs of the user from the Tong information database 420 and copies the fetched information into the buddy information database 430.
- the web server 400 provides all changes occurring in Tongs of all users to the Tong service server 410, and the Tong service server 410 determines whether or not the changes are information to be sent to user who currently access the web server 400 with reference to the information on the connection Tongs copied into the buddy information database 430.

For example, the user Agenerates Tong 1 (510) andTong2 (520) intheMyTong 500 according to his interest field and the user B generates Tong 1 (540) and Tong 2 (550) in the My Tong 530 according to his interest field.
- the Tong 1 (510) of the user A may be generated as a Tong having an interest field of automobiles and the Tong 2 (520) of the user A may be generated as a Tong having an interest field of golf.
- the Tong 1 (540) of the user B may be generated as a Tong having an interest field of automobiles and the Tong 2 (520) of the user B may be generated as a Tong having an interest field of movies.
- the Tongs are a classification unit for classifying information (i.e., post) collectedor createdaccording to the interest fields of the users. Accordingly, the function of the Tongs according to the present invention is applicable to the conventional blogs and folders (or directories) .
- a method of interconnecting the Tongs may be implemented in various ways. For example, a connection to a different Tong may be established in the same My Tong (i.e., the same user), or a connection to a Tong, which has the same or similar interest field, contained in a My Tong of a different user may be established. At this time, such a connectionmay have unidirectionalitybetween aconnectinguseranda connecteduser, ormayhavebidirectionality if a mutual connection between the users is established.
- the Tongs may be connected to the same type of blogs, or may be connected to an external blog 560.
- the Tongs may be connected to different Tongs in the Tong system according to the present invention or folders of blogs provided from other external portal sites.
