Description

Information system and method {METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION}

The present invention relates to an information providing system and method, which can generate profitability by selling information (for example, a blog) on a network produced by a user, and links the information on the network in the form of a line rather than a dot. The present invention relates to an information providing system and a method for improving a user's convenience for comparing and searching information.

At present, due to the development of the network such as the Internet, a lot of information is generated. Conventional information is generated by experts. In addition, like a blogger, his interests or his experiences are posted on his blog or homepage (ie, a web page) to generate information. In addition, the information is generated by giving an answer to a question asked by another user.

Search techniques for searching for information desired by a user among the generated information are also being developed.

In the case of existing search means, information is searched using a keyword input by a user. The search results are displayed on a single web page or search results page. At this time, when a user clicks a link displayed on a web page or a search result page, information content linked to a new window or a current window appears. That is, the conventional search means lists a plurality of link points on a web page or a search result page, and when a user clicks on one link point, an information page corresponding to the link point appears.

Therefore, in order to view the information page of another link point, the user must go back to the web page or the search result page and click another link point. In this case, when there are many link points based on the search result, the number of times of returning to the web page or the search result page is increased, which increases user inconvenience.

Recently, network users have a disadvantage in that they have to edit, modify, or select the searched information directly in order to obtain their desired information due to the vastness of information and deterioration of reliability of the information.

For example, suppose a user searches on an internet search site with the keyword travel to Korea.

As the user searches, various link information appears on the results page. Subsequently, the user clicks on any one link information to view the information page displayed in a new window and obtain information related to the trip to Korea. Of course, you will return to the results page many times and click on the link information in the form of dots to obtain information related to various trips to Korea. That is, if five Korean travel destination information is obtained, the user needs to reprocess the information and search for new information in order to look back on the five Korea travel destination information sequentially. This is because, in the case of the conventional information, the location and traffic information for traveling one by one are described, but the location and traffic information for sequentially traveling to these travel destinations are not described. Therefore, the user needs to reorganize the information for each destination to go to, or search for information for going from one destination to another.

In addition, since the accuracy of the travel destination information (ie, location and traffic information) is low, when traveling using the travel destination information organized by the user, it often occurs that the actual destination information does not match. This can happen when users who produce information (eg bloggers) don't get much profit from the information they produce, leaving old information unchanged or augmenting newly changed information.

Therefore, when the information user searches for information, it is inconvenient to look at the search results due to the provision of link information in the form of dots. Also. From the point of view of the information user who uses the information, the processing of the searched information takes a lot of time, and due to the low accuracy of the searched information, there is a problem that the utilization of the actual information is not smooth.

Therefore, the embodiment described in the present invention is derived to solve the above problems, and displays the searched link information in the form of a line in the form of a line to simplify the confirmation of the linked information while the user uses the search page, and the information provider Sells the information it provides in the form of a route (for example, a bus route) so that the information buyer can use each information specified in the route as it is, maximizing the profitability of the information provider and spending time on the information buyer. Provides an information providing system and information providing method that can be reduced.

In addition, even if the information provider downloads the information in the form of a route to the mobile terminal and is not connected to a separate network, the information provider may utilize the information, and if there is location information among the information, a GPS (Global Positioning System) data value corresponding to the location Provided together with a user provides an information providing system and information providing method that can utilize the location information without performing a separate additional search.

A method for providing information buyers with information generated from an information provider according to the present invention, the method comprising: generating point unit information, connecting the point unit information to generate line unit line information, and the line information Converting the data into bus contents and storing them in the terminal module, searching for bus contents in the terminal module according to the information buyer's request, providing a list of retrieved bus contents in the form of a list bar, and purchasing the information buyer It provides a method of providing information, including performing the payment according to the request, and providing the information buyer with the purchased bus content after the payment is completed.

The generating of the route information may include assigning a route number to the generated point unit information, and arranging and linking the point unit information by the line number, and discount coupon information in the point unit information. It is effective to add.

Converting the route information into bus contents may include converting link information for each route number into a route number link bar.

When one line number in the line number link bar displayed in one screen area is clicked, it is possible to display point unit information corresponding to the one line number in a screen area where the line number link bar is not located.

It is possible to separate the information that is carried out continuously or step by step, by step or any area, and to generate this as the point unit information, respectively, and to give the point unit information a route number sequentially for each step.

The point unit information includes location information and generates line information by assigning a line number to the point unit information, respectively, and the position of the point unit information having a rear line number in the point unit information having a front line number. A moving method is described, and the GPS content is stored in the bus content corresponding to the location information in the point unit information, and when the purchased bus content is provided to the information buyer, the GPS coordinate information is also included. It is possible to be provided.

The generating of the point unit information may include assigning a priority to at least one web page, and storing the priority and web page information, and connecting the point unit information to a line of a line unit. Generating the information may include sorting the web page information according to the stored priorities.

In addition, a route information generation unit for generating route information by connecting a plurality of input point information according to the present invention, and a route information link bar having the route information link information of the point unit information in the route information; A terminal module for converting the contents into bus contents, wherein the terminal module provides GPS coordinate information corresponding to the position information in the bus contents when the position information is included in the point unit information, and a search result for the bus contents A search module for providing a list corresponding to the information in the form of a link bar, a storage unit for storing the bus contents, and the link bar corresponding to the search result information on one side of one screen, and a list in the link bar.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention in more detail. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, It is provided to let you know. Like numbers refer to like elements in the figures.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of providing information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the information providing method according to the present embodiment, information of a plurality of points is first generated (S10). Subsequently, route information of a line structure in which information of a plurality of point units is connected is generated (S20). Subsequently, the bus information is converted into bus contents and stored in the terminal module (S30). Summary information of the bus contents that match the user's request among the bus contents in the terminal module is provided (S40). The route information corresponding to the bus contents is provided according to the purchase request of the bus contents (S50).

That is, the information providing method of the present embodiment can provide the user with high-quality information through the generation and conversion of information and the sale of the information, and can provide the information provider with a profit corresponding to the information.

In the present embodiment, a description will be given focusing on the route information and the bus contents. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various transfer (or move) means (for example, a ship, an airplane, a taxi, etc.) may be used instead of the bus.

Hereinafter, this will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating information generation and sales according to an embodiment.

First, as illustrated in FIG. 2, in relation to generation and conversion of information, the information provider generates a plurality of dot unit information in the form of a blog through the information providing terminal 100 (S110). The generated point unit information is transmitted to the information providing server 200.

The information providing server 200 generates point unit information as line information of a line structure (S120). In this case, the route information may be generated at the request of the information provider. In this case, the line information includes at least one point unit information. The generated route information is converted into bus contents (S130), and the converted bus contents are stored in the terminal module (S140).

Next, in order to sell the information, the user accesses the information providing server 200 through the user terminal 300 and requests bus contents related to a topic (category) (S150). The information providing server 200 transmits, to the user terminal 300, a bus content list associated with a topic among a plurality of bus contents stored in the terminal module (S160). The user selects at least one content from the transmitted bus content (S170). Then, the selected bus content is purchased (S180). Of course, at this time, the route information in the selected bus content is searched and then the purchase is determined. That is, the point-by-point information in the route information and their connection relations may be searched and then may be purchased or not.

Subsequently, the information providing server 200 transmits the entire route information corresponding to the selected bus content to the user terminal or a terminal desired by the user (S190).

The above-described information generation and conversion will be described below with reference to the drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating information generation and conversion according to an embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3, an information provider first accesses an information provision server using an information provision terminal. At this time, the information providing server authenticates the information provider (S210).

If the authentication fails, it is determined that the user is not subscribed, or an ID or password for authentication is incorrectly input or forgotten and the corresponding operation is performed (S220). In this case, if it is determined that the subscriber is not a subscriber, the screen for subscription is transmitted to the information providing terminal to perform a subscription operation. Thereafter, a client module (aka clover client) is installed in the information providing terminal when the initial subscription is completed.

If the authentication is successful, the previously installed clover client is executed (S230). The clover client may be displayed in a blog form or a messenger form on the user's terminal. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be viewed in various computer program forms.

The information provider determines whether to generate new bus content or add point-by-point information in the existing bus content through the clover client (S240).

When generating new bus content, the information providing server 200 secures (creates) a new bus content space through a terminal module.

The information provider generates at least one point unit information through the clover client (S250). In this case, the point unit information is preferably produced in the form of a blog. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be manufactured in various forms (for example, web pages) that can be used on a wireless terminal or the Internet. The point unit information may be provided with various forms of digital mediated information (eg, text information, audio information, graphic information, animation information, video information, etc.). Here, the clover client may be provided with a document editing module as well as a multimedia editing module so that an information provider may easily create point-by-point information, that is, a blog.

In the present embodiment, when the information provider generates the point unit information, the coupon information may be added together in the point unit information. The coupon information is provided when the user (that is, the information buyer) purchases the corresponding point information, so that the user can obtain various benefits such as a discount or a free use when the user uses the point information. This can increase your purchasing power.

The point unit information generated as described above is provided to the information providing server 200. At this time, the information provider assigns a route number between the point unit information through the clover client (S260). In this case, the line number may be a station number.

The information providing server 200 links the point unit information for each line number assigned to the point unit information to generate route information (S270).

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when generating new bus content, the information providing server 200 prepares a space for generating new route information through a terminal module, and sequentially obtains point-by-point information to be included in the route information from the information provider. It can also generate the route information connected in the order of receiving the input.

Subsequently, the route information is converted into bus contents (S280). The bus contents include a route information page showing a route number corresponding to the route information, a bus icon for moving the route number, and dot unit information corresponding to the route number when the bus icon is located at one route number. A losing point information page is provided.

The bus contents thus produced are stored in the terminal module (S290).

In this case, the terminal module classifies and stores the produced bus contents according to a corresponding theme, that is, by related fields. Bus content is travel, economy, finance, real estate, finance, securities, politics, society, literature, performances, movies, music, arts, exhibitions, games, cartoons, anime, computers, internet, broadcasting, fan club, marriage, castles, cooking Can be divided into themes, restaurants, parenting, fashion beauty, interior, health, sports, sports, shopping, cars, science, humanities, education, notice, diplomas, foreign languages, religion, love, encounters, etc.

In the case of modifying (eg, adding, correcting, and deleting) the bus contents other than the generation of the bus contents as described above, the following is the case. The following description mainly focuses on the addition of point information.

First, the information provider generates point unit information (S300). Subsequently, the route information in the stored bus contents is retrieved (S310). The route number is assigned to the newly generated point unit information. That is, the newly created point unit information is added to the route information to generate new route information (S320). Subsequently, the route information including the newly generated point unit information is converted into bus contents (S330) and stored (S340). At this time, the numbers that are the same as or later than the route information given to the point unit information are changed in number.

In addition, in the case of modifying the point unit information in the bus content, the route information is loaded, and the corresponding point unit information in the route information is modified and stored. When the point unit information is deleted, the route information is called and the point unit information is deleted. Thereafter, the line number assigned to the point unit information after the deleted point unit information is changed one by one. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the point unit information is deleted, the deleted point unit information area is blank. That is, the route number of the deleted point unit information is not removed, but remains as it is. That is, the point-specific information storage space can be maintained as it is. In this case, new point unit information (ie, content) may be planted in the deleted point unit information.

Hereinafter, the generation of such bus content will be described in detail with reference to the travel information.

The information provider connects to the information providing server and requests the generation of bus contents related to the trip. The information providing server prepares a bus content generation area based on travel. The information provider then generates point-by-point information related to the trip.

For example, if the information provider traveled for 1 night and 2 days, all the points visited during the trip (that is, per route) may be point information. If an information provider visits six destinations and three restaurants in one night and two days, write detailed information about each of them, such as the location of the destination or restaurant, how to get there, and how he or she felt about it. By this, point-by-point information is generated.

First to sixth destination blogs and first to third restaurant blogs are generated. At this time, detailed information about the destination blog and restaurant blog is written. Detailed information includes location information (address or telephone number or name) and transportation information.

If the information provider traveled in the order of first travel destination, first restaurant, second travel destination, third travel destination, second restaurant, fourth travel destination, fifth travel destination, third restaurant and sixth travel destination, The first travel destination blog is given a first route number, the first restaurant is given a second route number, the second and third travel destinations are given third and fourth route numbers, respectively, and the second restaurant has a fifth route. Numbers are assigned, sixth and seventh route numbers are assigned to the fourth and fifth travel destinations, eighth route numbers are assigned to the third restaurant, and ninth route numbers are assigned to the sixth travel destination.

In this embodiment, information about how to go from the position described in the front blog (point information of the front line number) to the position described in the rear blog (point information of the rear line number) (that is, the moving method) is shown. It is desirable to be listed in either blog. For example, if the information provider moves from the first destination to the first restaurant by using a car, the blog describes how to move to the car. Of course, the information provider may write on the blog about possible ways of moving, for example, using walking or public transportation, in addition to the way of traveling he has experienced.

As mentioned above, discount information may be added to each blog (ie, point information). For example, information such as a discount coupon that can be used in the second restaurant may be provided together in the point unit information to which the fifth line number is assigned. This allows the user (ie the information buyer) to use the discount coupon when visiting the second restaurant.

As described above, the point unit information (i.e., blogs) to which the first to ninth line numbers are assigned are linked in order of line numbers, respectively, to generate route information. Of course, at this time, the information provider may assign a separate name (nickname or ID) or number to the route information.

Subsequently, the route information is converted into bus contents and stored. In this case, the information provider may assign a separate name or number to the bus contents. In this case, the information provider may set a price of the bus content. In this case, it is preferable to use a token as a unit used for pricing.

At this time, in order to create a route, a bus for forming bus contents must first be owned. At this time, it is effective that the bus is information including a representative name representing the route information. Such a bus is provided with a space for storing the route information. In addition, a bus number, a bus name, a category corresponding to the current bus may be displayed in the bus. Accordingly, point information of the route information is linked in the bus to generate route information, and the route information is converted into bus contents.

4 is a conceptual diagram of a screen of bus contents shown in a terminal according to an embodiment.

In the bus contents, each point unit information in the route information is independently stored in the form of a web page (blog), and a route number link bar in which the entire route number is listed is provided. Thus, as shown in FIG. When the route number in the link bar is clicked, dot unit information corresponding to the clicked route number is displayed above the link bar.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the route information is converted into bus contents, it is preferable to compare the position information provided in the point-by-point information with the GPS data to match and store the GPS coordinate information. Accordingly, when the information buyer who purchases the bus contents travels in the order of the route information, the location of the travel destination can be found quickly.

In addition, when the route information is converted into the bus contents, a bus that is responsible for searching for information about the route information and the like is generated. The bus may store, as a program medium, brief information on a subject of corresponding line information and point information of each line information.

As described above, location information is preferably input to the point unit information in each line information. For example, a postal code or address may be entered. At this time, the information provider calculates a route, time and cost according to a means of transportation (for example, an airplane, a train, a bus, a subway, a taxi, a car, etc.) by using the location information directly or in a content conversion module in a server. The calculated result is stored in the bus content. Therefore, when the bus contents are later viewed, when the mouse is positioned on the route, the time and cost according to each of the moving means can be seen.

5 is a conceptual diagram of a screen on which a mouse clicks on a line in bus contents according to an exemplary embodiment.

As shown in Fig. 5, the bus content is composed of a plurality of point unit information and a line connecting the point unit information. When the line connecting the line is clicked, a route moving from one point unit information to another point unit information may be displayed on a map. As described above, the route according to the moving means for moving between them is displayed on the map by using the location information of the two point unit information. This allows information buyers to search for the optimal path for the movement of two point information.

In addition, when the information provider generates bus content based on love-related topics (eg, date course information), a bus content generation area corresponding thereto is formed. At this time, the information provider generates each point in his date course as one point unit information. And as mentioned above, each of these is given a route number. In addition, when a line number is assigned, at least information on a location and a moving method of a corresponding date course point is added to the point unit information to which adjacent line numbers are assigned. Then, the point-by-point information is linked for each route number to form route information, and the route information is stored as bus contents.

In addition, when the information provider generates bus content with a topic related to cooking, the information provider generates each cooking step related to cooking as point information. For example, preparing a material for cooking, preparing a material, and mixing and processing the material may be created and stored as point information. At this time, it is effective to form the route information by assigning a route number to each of the point unit information created in this way.

In addition, when an information provider generates bus content on a computer-related topic (eg computer assembly information), the information provider may provide information on how to purchase parts that meet computer specifications and how to assemble such components, respectively. Can be generated with In addition, it is effective to form the route information by assigning a route number to each of the assembling stages.

In addition, various types of information corresponding to the above-mentioned subjects (that is, information proceeding continuously or step by step) are separated for each step or for an arbitrary section (area, point), and generated as point information, respectively. Route information is sequentially assigned in accordance with the flow of dot unit information, thereby forming route information.

In this case, the information provider may provide the converted point unit information prepared by the user in various languages.

To this end, in the present embodiment, the information provider makes a translation request to the information providing server 200 with respect to the point-by-point information created by the information provider. At this time, the information providing server 200 notifies the request contents to a plurality of translators (not shown) connected thereto. In this case, the content of the notification indicates the content of information to be translated, the language to be translated, the translation period, and the cost. At this time, a translator translates the point-by-point information, and when the translation is completed, provides a translator to the information providing server 200. When the translation is complete, the cost provided by the information provider is paid to the translator. At this time, the information providing server 200 processes the translated page at the same level as the point-by-point information created by the first information provider. Through this, if a user presses a translation button when the user accesses and checks the point unit information, the translated information about the point unit information can be checked. This creates a new job called translation. In addition to translation, image editing or video editing can also be processed by the above method.

The sale of information will be described below with reference to the drawings.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an information sale according to an exemplary embodiment. 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a screen displayed on a user terminal when selling information according to an exemplary embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6, an information purchaser (ie, a user) first accesses an information providing server 200 using a user terminal 300 (S410). In this case, as described above, the information providing server 200 may perform an authentication or subscription procedure for the information buyer.

The information buyer performs an information search to find information that matches the information he / she wants to purchase (S420). At this time, the information retrieval is preferably performed by the terminal module. Of course, you can also search for information through a separate search module. In addition, the bus may perform a search for the point-by-point information in each bus content, and the result may be provided to the terminal module to simplify information search.

The information retrieval is effectively performed by the information purchaser entering a keyword. Of course, before the keyword is input, the information buyer may first select a topic corresponding to the information to be purchased, and then enter at least one keyword. At this time, the bus content price sold at the time of search may be added and searched.

The information providing server 200 provides the information buyer with a bus content list having a keyword that matches the keyword entered by the information buyer (S430).

Here, the bus content list may be effectively provided in the form of a list bar on one side of the user terminal 300. The information providing server 200 may assign bus numbers to the retrieved bus contents, and the assigned numbers may be provided in a list. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as mentioned above, the name or number given by the information provider may be a bus number or a bus name, and the bus number or bus name may be provided as a list.

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of topics (ie, categories) may be provided, a topic corresponding to the information to be searched among the above topics may be selected, bus contents in the selected topic may be searched, and the result may be provided to the information buyer. Can be. In addition, it is also possible to provide all the bus content corresponding to the subject.

The bus contents list is searched (for example, clicked) to select bus contents that match the desired information (S440).

To this end, when one of the bus numbers shown in the bus contents list is clicked on as shown in FIG. 7, the bus contents are displayed in an area of the user terminal 300 where the list bar is not located. As described above, the bus content display area displays the point number information corresponding to the line number link bar and the selected line number.

This allows information buyers to move through the list of bus contents individually in the list bar, or click through to view the entire bus content. In addition, all the point-by-point information in the route information can be confirmed by clicking each route number in the route number link bar in the selected bus content.

At this time, the route information displayed on the screen may be the entire information content. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and only some summary contents may be displayed on the screen. In addition, only a part can be seen, such as the front part or the rear part. In addition, when the information buyer purchases the corresponding route information (that is, the bus content), the discount information or the discount coupon that can be obtained may be added to the information buyer in the point-by-point information. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other programs or means (eg, seed information for generating a discount coupon) that may generate a discount coupon may be displayed on the screen. In this case, when an information buyer purchases bus content information, the discount coupon or seed information is provided to his terminal. In this case, when the user uses the bus contents, the discount coupon or the coupon generated by the seed information may be used. Of course, the above discount information can be provided through problem solving, such as a quiz.

For example, the bus content is content related to travel, and there are point-by-point information about a plurality of travel destinations and point-by-point information about restaurants in the route information. In this case, when the discount coupon that can be used when entering the destination and the discount coupon information that can be used in the restaurant are added together in the point-by-point information, the information buyer may increase the purchasing power. This means that when an information purchaser purchases bus content and travels to a destination and a restaurant in the route information, the information coupon may travel cheaper using the discount coupons.

Subsequently, the information buyer requests a purchase by clicking a purchase button in order to purchase bus contents that match the information he seeks (S450). In this case, when the purchase request is made, authentication of the information buyer may be performed.

The information providing server performs a payment module in response to a purchase request of the information buyer (S460). Here, the selling price for the bus content is preferably set by the information provider. The payment module may perform cash payment, credit card payment, mobile phone payment and token payment. Here, the token can be purchased separately through cash in the currency used in the information providing server.

When the payment is completed from the information buyer, the information providing server provides the bus contents (ie, route information) to the user terminal of the information buyer (S470).

In this case, as mentioned above, not only the contents of the route information provided by the information provider but also discount related information such as a discount coupon may be provided. For example, when there is geographic or location information in the point unit information in the route information, GPS information corresponding to the location information is also provided.

Therefore, it is effective that the user terminal is equipped with a GPS capable of utilizing such GPS information. This increases the reliability of the provided point information, and the information buyer can quickly find the point indicated by the point information in the purchased route information. Here, a wired terminal (for example, a computer terminal) may be used as the user terminal, and a wireless terminal (for example, a laptop, a mobile phone, a PDA, a navigation, etc.) may be used.

Here, the GPS information may be directly input by the information provider.

8 is a diagram for describing editing of location information based on one embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8, the information provider drags address information among location information input by the information provider. At this time, the address and map information corresponding to the address information after dragging are displayed on the screen. The information provider then selects a point on the map that matches the location information entered by the information provider. Subsequently, when the data is stored, a point on the map corresponding to the location information is stored in the route information. At this time, GPS information is stored in the points on the map. Therefore, the information purchaser can accurately grasp the actual location corresponding to the location information of the point-by-point information by viewing the information on the map. Of course, in addition to the address, it is also possible to select and store points on the map that match the location information through keywords.

As described above, since the information provider intends to generate revenue by selling route information connecting the point-by-point information, the information provider always maintains high reliability of the information provided by the information provider. In addition, the information buyer can save time for doing this because he or she does not perform a separate search to find a connection relationship between various point information desired by the user. In addition, when purchasing bus contents (ie, route information), a discount coupon included therein may be provided, thereby reducing the cost actually consumed when using the route information. In addition, when the location information is included in the point-by-point information of the purchased route information, GPS information corresponding to the corresponding location is also provided, thereby further improving the usability and convenience of the information.

In addition, the present embodiment may provide event content for promoting the generated bus content. At this time, a golden carriage icon is used as the event content. Thus, if the information provider provides the server with tokens or discount information to use the golden carriage, the server may provide the information buyer with this golden carriage icon to allow the buyer to use the golden carriage.

In the above-described embodiment, the route information is generated by linking the point unit information for each route number of the point unit information assigned by the information provider.

However, the present exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto, and a line information generation module may be added in the search module to connect the searched results in the form of lines in the same manner as that of generating the above route information.

In this way, the search results of the user may not be displayed in units of points on the screen, but may be displayed in units of lines connected with the information of these points on one side of the screen. That is, the link result of the point information corresponding to the search result may sequentially appear in the form of a line information bar on one side of the screen.

For example, if a user performs a search on a trip to Korea within a web page, the search module searches for all web related information, organizes the search results, and provides the search result page to the user. At this time, the present embodiment also provides a line information bar in which search information in units of points searched in one region (for example, bottom) of the search result page is connected in a line form. In the line information bar, it is effective that the link information of the search information in units of points is arranged in the form of a line. Therefore, when the user clicks the link information in the line information bar, the search information in units of points is displayed in the screen area except for the line information bar area.

In addition, when the user searches for all the information in the line information bar, the search module of the present embodiment provides the user with a screen summarizing the search information of all points in the line information bar. Through this, the search information searched by the user can be compared again and selected. Of course, if a separate summary information providing module is located in the line information bar and the user performs this, the summary screen may be provided.

In this case, the search module of the present embodiment may not only perform a search by itself, but also provide keywords provided to the various search systems disclosed on the Internet, and collect the results to generate line information.

Also, in the present embodiment, the web page information on the Internet may be used as the point-by-point information. Priority may be given to such point unit information, and the point unit information may be sorted into line unit information using the assigned priority. This allows users to compare and list information so that they can handle the information they want more closely.

At this time, the star point is used for prioritization. That is, a star rating according to the number of stars is assigned to the retrieved pieces of dot unit information. The server stores the web page information and the star information corresponding thereto.

That is, when the user gives a star rating to the currently active web page, the link address and the star score of the current web page are stored. This allows the user to assign various star ratings to web pages that he or she has activated.

In other words, each web page against the same purpose (category) can be given a star rating to give priority to them. For example, stars may be sequentially assigned to corresponding web pages according to the order of travel destinations. Through this, the point information can be edited as line information using line priority.

You can, of course, separate web pages by star rating, depending on what you want. For example, information about a travel destination is given by 1 individual star, information about a restaurant is given by 2 stars by 2 stars, information about accommodation is given by 3 stars by 3 stars, and information about clothes is given by 4 stars. You can give four points.

In addition, the user may edit this information by assigning a priority to the information collected by the star ratings. For example, information about clothes is stored in a star area corresponding to four points, and the user gives priority to the information in the stored area, and sorts the information by this rank. Through this, the point unit information may be converted into line information of the line unit. Of course, you can delete web page information and star rating information that you don't need or don't like.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the above-described bus content itself may be sold.

9 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, the information providing system of this embodiment includes an information providing terminal 100, an information providing server 200, and a user terminal 300.

Here, the information providing terminal 100 generates the information of a plurality of points by the information provider. That is, the information providing terminal 100 is provided with a client module (ie, a clover client program) provided from the information providing server 200. Thus, the information provider executes this clover client program to generate point-by-point information. In this case, the point unit information is effectively blog information. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be various types of information that can be used in the Internet or a wireless communication network. The information providing terminal 100 may assign a route number to the generated point unit information. In this case, the clover client program may include not only a document generation module but also multimedia editing modules. This simplifies the editing and modification of information from information providers.

The information providing server 200 includes a terminal module 210, a search module 220, a payment module 230, a storage 240, and a display module 250. Although not shown, the information providing server 200 may further include an authentication module.

The terminal module 210 includes a route information generator 211 which connects a plurality of pieces of point information provided to generate route information, a content converter 212 that converts the route information into bus contents, and a converted bus. And a bus unit 213 for searching for information in the content. In addition, although not shown, the terminal module may include a summary information generator that simplifies information in the bus content, or a content classifier that classifies each bus content by subject.

The route information generation unit 211 organizes the provided point unit information for each route number and generates route information by arranging them so that they can be sequentially linked.

The content converting unit 212 converts the link information on the generated route information into a route information link bar. In addition, when there is location information in the point unit information in the route information, it is converted to GPS coordinate information and stored. In addition, the content converter 212 may further add information such as a discount coupon to the point-by-point information. Herein, the content converter 212 may be used to create, add, or delete content.

The bus unit 213 provides the converted bus contents to an external display module and searches for information in the bus contents.

Next, the search module 220 searches for the corresponding information by using the search information (eg, a keyword or a category) provided by the user terminal 300. In this case, it is effective that the search module 220 searches for information in the preceding terminal module 210. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the user may search for data in the Internet or a wireless communication network according to a user's setting. In this case, the search module may include a line information setting unit that provides a search result in a line form instead of a dot form.

The search module 220 provides the search results to the user through the display module 250 in a list form. At this time, the results of the retrieved bus contents are also provided in the shape of being connected in a line shape. That is, the bus contents may be provided in the form of a link bar on one side of the screen formed by the display module 250.

The payment module 230 is performed when a user requests a purchase. The payment module 230 may perform cash payment, credit card payment, mobile phone payment and token payment.

The storage unit 240 stores bus contents in the terminal module 210. In addition, the bus content area may be defined and allocated to the terminal module 210 according to a command.

In addition, the information providing server 200 may provide various statistical data regarding its information to the information provider. For example, the user may provide materials related to the number of users who access the bus content. That is, statistical data such as time of day, age group, gender, region, daily, weekly, monthly, year, etc. may be provided, such as the number of visits, the number of visitors, the funnel, and the popular landing page. It also provides statistics such as bus, time of day, age, gender, region, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly income and expenses.

Subsequently, the user terminal 300 accesses the information providing server 200 through a communication environment such as the Internet, searches for bus contents including line information in line form, and uses various apparatuses capable of receiving the information. In this embodiment, it is effective that GPS is provided in the user terminal 300. As a result, when the location information is included in the point unit information in the route information, the user can increase the usability of the route information.
