The information management system 100 may retrieve the landing page data from the database unit 130 using the received character code and identifier information, and then transmit the landing page data to the user terminal 300 or the client 200. The landing page data transmitted by the information management system 100 may have the form of information stored in the database unit 130 or may be converted into information of a form accessible by the user terminal 300.

On the other hand, when there is a plurality of landing page data matched with the character code input from the user terminal 300, the information management system 100 is based on the location information of the user terminal 300, the user of one of the plurality of landing page data It can be applied to the terminal 300. Through the above method, the efficiency of character code management can be improved.

In addition, the client 200 may send a landing page registration request based on the specific landing page data to the information management system 100. Upon receiving the landing page registration request from the client 200, the information management system 100 generates a character code corresponding to the landing page data, while requesting the location information corresponding to the landing page data from the client 200, if necessary. Can be. As described above, the location information may be location information of a specific place where the client 200 intends to provide information related to landing page data.

For example, when the client 200 transmits a registration request of a landing page having shopping-related information to the information management system 100, the information management system 100 may determine a place where the shopping-related information may be advertised, for example. For example, the client 200 may request location information of a specific shopping mall or a bus stop. When the information management system 100 assigns the character code "1234" to the landing page having the shopping related information, the information management system inputs the character code "1234" in the user terminal 300 adjacent to the shopping mall or the bus stop. If only, the landing page having the shopping-related information may be transmitted to the user terminal 300.

For the character code already generated, the client 200 may send a landing page update request, that is, a registration request for another landing page. If the client 200 sends a registration request for another landing page for an already existing character code, the information management system 100 may assign the already existing character code to the other landing page data included in the request. have. Therefore, even if the same character code is input at the user terminal, it may be connected to a landing page different from the existing one.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the information management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be connected to a communication device provided in a plurality of places through the communication network 400.

When a predetermined text code is input to the user terminal, the information management system 100 may transmit predetermined landing page data matched to the input text code to the user terminal. In this case, when there are a plurality of landing page data corresponding to the character code input from the user terminal, the information management system 100 may select any one of the plurality of landing page data based on the location information of the user terminal. The indoor communication device 410, the home communication device 430, the communication base station 450, and the like may provide location information of the corresponding user terminal to each user terminal.

For example, when the user 420 enters a building in which the indoor communication device 410 is installed while holding the user terminal, the user terminal may be connected to the indoor communication device 410 to obtain location information. If there is a plurality of landing page data corresponding to the character code input from the user terminal, the information management system 100 may request the user terminal to collect location information acquired through connection with the indoor communication device 410. If the user terminal permits the collection of location information, the information management system 100 may collect the location information of the user terminal and select one of the plurality of landing page data and transmit the location information to the user terminal.

Through the above method, a plurality of landing page data can be matched with one character code, and the character code can be managed more efficiently. For example, the letter code " ASDF " matches landing page data indicating the detailed information of the object X for sale in a specific store of a shopping mall, and indicates the detailed information of the object Y being advertised in an outdoor billboard installed at an outdoor bus stop. It can also match with landing page data.

When the character code "ASDF" is input at the user terminal, the information management system 100 may collect location information of the user terminal. When the user terminal is located inside the shopping mall, the location information of the user terminal may be beacon location information generated by an indoor communication device 410 connected to the user terminal, for example, a beacon device installed in the shopping mall. When the location information of the user terminal is determined as the beacon location information, the information management system 100 may determine that the user is in a shopping mall and transmit landing page data indicating the detailed information of the article X to the user terminal.

On the other hand, when the user terminal is located in a place adjacent to the outdoor bus stop, the location information of the user terminal is provided by the GPS location information provided by the GPS satellite connected to the user terminal, or by the communication base station 450 to which the user terminal is connected. Network location information. The information management system 100 may determine that the user terminal exists near the outdoor bus stop based on the GPS location information or the network location information, and transmits landing page data indicating the detailed information of the article Y to the user terminal. I can send it. Meanwhile, a user terminal located outdoors may also be connected to communicate with a beacon device installed at a specific outdoor location to receive beacon location information and provide the location information of the user terminal.

First, referring to FIG. 4, in the information management method according to the present embodiment, the information management system 100 may start by receiving a landing page registration request (S10). The landing page registration request may be transmitted from a client 200 connected to communicate with the information management system 100, and a registration request for a plurality of landing pages may be transmitted from the plurality of clients 210-230.

When the landing page registration request is received, the information management system 100 may generate a character code corresponding to the landing page requested to be registered (S11). The character code generated in step S11 may be a character code including an array having four or more numbers, letters, special characters, etc., and the user may directly access the corresponding landing page by inputting through the user terminal 300. It can be data provided in a code that can.

In operation S11, the character code generated by the information management system 100 may have a random value or a value associated with landing page data. When generating the character code, the information management system 100 may further generate identifier information for distinguishing landing page data to be accessed by the corresponding character code, in addition to the 4-digit or more numeric array. The identifier information is information not included in the number of digits of the character code, and may be information generated for the purpose of distinguishing landing page data.

The identifier information may be information that cannot be recognized by the user, and may be information included only in a data frame that matches a character code and landing page data. The identifier information may be used by the information management system 100 to manage data stored in the DB manager 113. The information management system 100 may generate the identifier information based on the time at which the character code and the landing page data are stored, the location information given to the character code and the landing page data, the type of each web page matching the landing page data, and the like. have.

In one embodiment, the identifier information may include information for identifying a provider that provides a service for calling landing page data with a character code. In this case, at least some of the identifier information may be provided in a form that can be recognized by the user. The identifier information provided in a form recognizable by the user may be provided together with the character code to provide the user with operator information for providing a service for calling the landing page data by the user with the character code.

On the other hand, the information management system 100 may collect location information corresponding to the landing page that receives the registration request (S12). The location information collected in step S12 may be collected from the client 200 that sent the landing page registration request. The client 200 may transmit the location information related to the landing page to the information management system 100 in at least one format of GPS location information, network location information, and beacon location information.

For example, when the client 200 sends a registration request for a landing page including detailed information or sales information about a specific product, the information management system 100 may display a place where an advertisement of the product is displayed or Location information of the sales place may be collected from the client 200. The selling place of the product may be indoors. In this case, the information management system 100 may collect, as position information corresponding to the landing page, location information that can be provided by a beacon device installed at the selling place of the product. have.

The data manager 110 may store the landing page data transmitted by the client 200, the character code generated corresponding thereto, and the collected location information in the database 120 (S13). The data manager 110 may classify and manage the landing page data, the character code, and the location information stored in the database 120 according to the identifier information.

When a text code is input at the user terminal 300, the input text code may be received by the information management system 100 via the client 200. Alternatively, the information management system 100 may be directly connected to the user terminal 300 without intermediation of the client 200 to receive a text code input from the user terminal 300. The information management system 100 may receive the location information of the user terminal together with the text code (S14), the location information is provided by the GPS location information based on the GPS sensor built in the user terminal, beacon connected to the user terminal Beacon location information, or may include network location information based on the communication network to which the user terminal is connected.

The data management unit 110 of the information management system 100 may search the database unit 120 for landing page data matching the character code and location information received from the user terminal 300. As a result of the search, if the landing page data matching the received character code and the location information exists in the database unit 120, the data manager 110 may withdraw the landing page data from the database unit 120 (S15). .

The extracted per page data may be transmitted to the user terminal 300 (S16). The retrieved landing page data may be transmitted to the user terminal 300 without further processing. In this case, the application program installed in the user terminal 300 may extract the URL information included in the landing page data and display the landing page corresponding to the URL information. Alternatively, the client 200 intermediary between the user terminal 300 and the information management system 100 may extract URL information from the landing page data and transfer it to the user terminal 300.

The data management unit 110 of the information management system 100 may extract URL information from the landing page data extracted by the database unit 120 and transmit the URL information to the user terminal 300. In this case, the user terminal 300 may receive the URL information directly from the information management system 100 or through the client 200, and display a web page corresponding to the URL information in a web browser.

On the other hand, the location information for the landing page data may be arbitrarily generated by the information management system 100. That is, if the information management system 100 does not receive the location information from the client 200, the information management system 100 may arbitrarily generate the location information based on the landing page data to be matched with the character code. For example, the information management system 100 may generate location information according to the type of information included in the landing page data or the location of the client 200. When the landing page data includes shopping information, a location of a department store, a shopping mall, or the like that may utilize the shopping information may be specified. In this case, the information management system 100 may match the location of department stores, shopping malls, etc., which may utilize the shopping information, with the landing page data as location information.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, in the information management method according to the present embodiment, the information management system 100 may start by receiving a landing page registration request (S20). In operation S20, the information management system 100 may receive landing page data including URL information of a specific landing page from the client 200.

Upon receiving the landing page registration request, the information management system 100 may generate a character code corresponding to the landing page data (S21). The character code may be a code including an array having four or more numbers, letters, special characters, and the like, and the character code generated in step S21 may be a database unit of the information management system 100 together with the landing page data. 120 may be stored (S22). In this case, the database unit 120 may classify and store the character code and the landing page data according to a predetermined identifier assigned to each character code and the landing page data.

Subsequently, when another landing page registration request for the character code already existing is received from the client 200 (S23), the information management system 100 transmits an existing character to other landing page data received together with the registration request of step S23. The code may be matched (S24). Therefore, when the same character code is input in the user terminal 300, different landing pages may be loaded according to circumstances. In this way, by matching a plurality of landing page data to one character code, the character code can be managed efficiently.

As such, when a plurality of landing page data matches one character code, another landing page other than the landing page that the user intends to load through the user terminal may be loaded incorrectly. In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to eliminate this possibility, the location information of the user terminal that inputs the character code may be compared with the location information of each of the plurality of landing page data, and appropriate landing page data may be transmitted to the user terminal according to the comparison result. have.

For example, when receiving a landing page registration request, the information management system 100 may request location information related to the landing page from the client 200. The location information may be location information of a place where a text code to be matched with the landing page is displayed in the form of an advertisement. The information management system 100 may transmit any one of the plurality of landing page data to the user terminal by comparing the location information of the landing page with the current location information of the user terminal in which the character code is input. That is, the information management system 100 may store and manage a plurality of landing page data matched with one character code based on each location information (S25).

Next, referring to FIG. 6, in the information management method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the information management system 100 may start by receiving a text code from a user terminal (S30). The user may enter a character code through an application program executable in the user terminal. Upon receiving the character code, the information management system 100 may search the database unit 120 for landing page data corresponding to the received character code (S31).

When the search is completed, the information management system 100 may determine whether there are a plurality of landing page data retrieved from the database unit 120 (S32). As a result of the determination in step S32, when there is a plurality of landing page data corresponding to the received character code, the information management system 100 may receive location information from the user terminal (S33). The information management system 100, when a plurality of landing page data is matched with one character code, landing page data to be transmitted to the user terminal when the character code is input based on location information assigned to each of the plurality of landing page data. Can be selected (S34).

If any one of the plurality of landing page data is selected based on the location information, the information management system 100 may transmit the selected landing page data to the user terminal. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S32, when there is only one landing page data corresponding to the character code input from the user terminal, the information management system 100 to the input character code, without the landing page data selection process based on the location information The corresponding landing page data may be directly transmitted to the user terminal (S35).

7 to 10, the user terminal 500 using the information management method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a smart phone. Of course, the user terminal 500 may be a variety of electronic devices such as mobile communication devices such as tablet PCs, PDAs, and laptop computers, in addition to smartphones. The user terminal 500 may include a housing 510, a display device 520 having a touch screen function, and a mechanical input key 530.

First, referring to FIG. 7, a user may execute an application program capable of inputting a character code in the user terminal 500 to input a character code. Although the start screen 540 of the application program is shown in FIG. 7, the start screen 540 is not necessarily limited to that shown in FIG. 7. In one embodiment, after recognizing a billboard, an electronic medium, etc., in which a character code is disclosed, the user may execute an application program to input the character code.

The start screen 540 displayed by executing an application includes a menu icon 541 for calling up various menus, a beacon icon 542 for setting up a beacon connection, and a character code input area for inputting a character code ( 543) and an input completion icon 544 capable of completing the character code input. The user may select the menu icon 541 to change and save various settings of the application program.

The start screen 540 is not limited as shown in FIG. 7 and may be changed in various forms. For example, when the number of digits of the character code is not four digits, the character code input area 543 may be modified from a 2 × 2 matrix to another. In addition, when the user terminal 500 can collect the location information by a communication means other than the beacon, an icon other than the beacon icon 542 is displayed, or an icon other than the beacon icon 542 is displayed together. Can be. For example, a Wi-Fi connection setting icon, a Bluetooth connection setting icon, and the like may be displayed on the start screen 540. The user selects the beacon icon 542 to communicate with the user terminal 500 and the beacon device. Can be set. When the user selects the beacon icon 542 to activate the beacon connection, the user terminal 500 may be connected to communicate with the beacon device by receiving a beacon signal transmitted from an adjacent beacon device. The beacon apparatus may store the beacon position information according to the installed place in advance, and the user terminal 500 may receive the beacon position information stored in the beacon apparatus and transmit it to the information management system 100.

In addition, when the beacon connection is activated in advance in the user terminal 500, the user terminal 500 may automatically establish a communication connection by detecting an adjacent beacon device without a separate setting process. Alternatively, an application that enters a character code may have permission to activate a beacon connection. When the application program is executed in the user terminal 500, the beacon communication function of the user terminal 500 may be activated by the beacon activation authority of the application, and the user terminal 500 may obtain beacon location information from an adjacent beacon device. Can be collected.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the user selects the beacon icon 542, a confirmation window 545 may be displayed asking whether to activate the beacon connection. If the user selects “Yes” in the confirmation window 545, the user terminal 500 may be connected to communicate with the adjacent beacon device, and may receive and store beacon location information stored in the beacon device. The beacon location information may be transmitted as the location information of the user terminal 500 to the information management system 100 later.

The user may tap the character code input area 543 of the start screen 540 to activate a keyboard in a part of the display apparatus 540 and input a desired character code through the keyboard. Referring to FIG. 9, the character code is assumed to be composed of a total of four digits. However, the character code may be configured with longer or shorter digits. When the character code input is completed, the user may transmit the input character code to the information management system 100 by touching the input completion icon 544 at the bottom of the start screen 540. In this case, beacon location information received from the beacon device may be transmitted to the information management system 100 as necessary.

When the text code is transmitted from the user terminal 500, the information management system 100 may search the database unit 120 whether there is landing page data matching the received text code. As a result of the search, if there is landing page data matching the received character code, the information management system 100 may transmit the retrieved landing page data to the user terminal 500. The user terminal 500 may decode URL information included in the received landing page data and load a web page corresponding to the URL information by using a web browser program installed in the user terminal 500.

Referring to FIG. 10, the web page 550 that the user terminal 500 receives landing page data and outputs to the user may be shopping related information of a specific shopping mall. That is, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10, the user may recognize the character code "2507" written on an advertisement board installed in a specific shopping mall and input it to the user terminal 500. The user terminal 500 may transmit the character code “2507” to the information management system 100, and the information management system 100 may transmit landing page data corresponding to the character code “2507” to the user terminal 500. . The user terminal 500 may load and output a web page 550 including shopping related information of a corresponding shopping mall by using the received landing page data.

Meanwhile, when a plurality of landing page data matching the character code “2507” input by the user is searched, the information management system 100 may select any one of the plurality of landing page data based on the location information of the user terminal 500. May be transmitted to the user terminal 500. For example, assume that the first landing page data having the shopping related information and the second landing page data match the character code "2507". When the character code “2507” input from the user terminal 500 is transmitted to the information management system 100, the information management system 100 may collect location information of the user terminal 500 that has transmitted the character code “2507”. have. In this case, the location information of the user terminal 500 may be beacon location information received by the user terminal 500 from the adjacent beacon device.

The information management system 100 may compare the beacon position information collected from the user terminal 500 with the position information matched to each of the first and second landing page data. Although both the first and second landing page data have shopping-related information, the location where the client 200 to provide the first and second landing page data to the user terminal 500 is to display an advertisement based on a text code. The location information matched to each of the first and second landing page data may be different. Therefore, the information management system 100 compares the beacon position information collected from the user terminal 500 with the position information matched to each of the first and second landing page data, and based on the result, the first and the first One of the two landing page data may be transmitted to the user terminal 500.
