Description

Web information providing method and web information providing device {METHOD FOR PROVIDING WEB INFORMATION AND WEB INFORMATION PROVIDING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to the World Wide Web (www: World Wide Web), which is an information disclosure mechanism that is used via a global network connected to a cobweb, particularly when a user sends a request for transmitting web data. The present invention relates to a web information providing method and apparatus for transmitting information corresponding to the originating region to the user by using information on a region (hereinafter referred to as a user originating region) from which the user has sent the transmission request.

The user who wants to view the web page of the WWW can browse the desired web page using software called a computer terminal and a browser. However, in order to browse web pages, the Internet is indispensable in most cases, and a general user uses a 32-bit integer, for example, "202. 224. 36. 35 ”is connected to the Internet via a provider that temporarily assigns an IP (Internet Protocol) address to the user's computer terminal.

Furthermore, the user requests the transmission of web page data to a web server stored in a web server on the Internet, and the web server sends the web page data in response to the request, so that the user can display the web page on a browser. You can read it. 9 is a view showing a conventional web information providing apparatus.

The conventional web information providing apparatus 100 includes user terminals 101a to 101c, first modem / TA (Terminal Adapter) 103a to 103c, analog / digital lines 105a to 105c, second modems / TA107a to 107c, and access points 109a to 109c. And the servers 111a to 111c in the access points 109a to 109c, the first gateways 113a to 113c, the Internet 115, the second gateways 117a and 117b, and the web servers 119a to 119a.

Hereinafter, the operation of the conventional web information providing apparatus 100 will be described.

A general user who wants to use the web information providing apparatus 100, for example, a user in Tokyo, dials the access point 109a in Tokyo, a provider, using a communication program called communication software from the user terminal 101a. When the user terminal 101a is connected to the access point 109a via the first modem / TA103a, the analog / digital line 105a, and the second modem / TA107a, the access point 109a makes a request for transmitting the user's login name, password, etc. to the user terminal 101a. In response, the user terminal 101a transmits information such as a login name and a password to the access point 109a.

If the login name and password transmitted from the user terminal 101a to the access point 109a are correct, and the communication environment setting of the user terminal 101a is also available for the access point 109a, the user terminal 101a is connected to the server 111a of the access point 109a, The server 111a of the access point 109a selects one IP address from among the plurality of stored IP addresses and assigns it to the user terminal 101a. This assignment means that the user terminal 101a has acquired one IP address.

Next, when the user uses the WWW, the user interprets web data such as a program described by HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), which is a language for describing a file in a hypertext format, and uses a text, a still picture, or a moving picture. The browser to be displayed and played back on the terminal must be set to be used as the user terminal in advance. This is because a browser is a software having a function of simply jumping on a screen of a user terminal and using a device to jump to a site or a target file with related information on the Internet.

After the IP address is assigned to the user terminal 101a from the server 111a, the user inputs or selects a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that expresses the type and storage location of the data at one time using a browser. The URL may be inputted into the input portion of the browser by the keyboard or may be selected by a mouse pointer linked to the desired URL on the web page.

For example, the URL of a web page that the user wants to view is "http: // www. xxx. co. jp / index0. htm1 "," http: // "in this URL refers to" Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol "for web data communication protocol. The web server name" www "and domain name" xxx. " co. jp ”, file name“ index0. htm1 ”.

When the user enters or selects this URL in a browser, the user terminal 101a displays the domain “xxx. co. jp "is stored in the web server 109a of" www ". Index0, a kind of web data. htm1 " is sent to the server 111a of the access point 109a for requesting the transmission of the HTML data of the text file, the IP address of the user, and the type of browser used by the user. Subsequently, the server 111a, having received these pieces of information, sends the above-described transmission request, address, and browser information to "xxx. co. jp " to the " www " web server 119a on the Internet 115.

When the web server 119a receives this information, the web server 119a transmits the designated file, conventionally "index0.htm1", to the user terminal 101a via the Internet 115 and the access point 109a. The web server 119a interprets the program of the file "index0.htm1" and also transmits other referenced data to the user terminal 101a.

In this way, the web data obtained by the user terminal 101a, that is, the data of the "index0.htm1" file and the data referred to by the "index0.htm1" are interpreted by the browser of the user terminal 101a, and the like. Is displayed. According to this system, the same information is displayed on the user terminal no matter where the web page is viewed. Therefore, the above-described conventional web information providing apparatus narrows the regional gap in using information.

However, there is a problem in that local information such as an advertisement or a weather forecast that has nothing to do with a user's origination area has a low use value because the effect of the advertisement is small for people outside the origination area.

In addition, when a user wants to display information about a region among a plurality of web informations, a user manually inputs a URL into a browser input portion using a keyboard or selects a portion linked to the URL with a mouse pointer. As once, it was necessary to make an optional operation on the area once. For this reason, such an operation is not only complicated, but also difficult and inconvenient to use for those who are inexperienced in operating a user terminal and a browser.

[First Priority Invention]

1 is a diagram showing a web information providing apparatus (system) according to the first preceding invention. (However, the same number is attached to the same member as the prior art.)

2 and 3 are flowcharts showing a web information providing method according to the first preceding invention.

Hereinafter, the web information providing apparatus of the present invention and the web information providing method using the same will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The web information providing apparatus 200 of the present invention includes user terminals 101a to 101c;

First modem / TA103a to 103c;

Analog / digital circuits 105a to 105c as communication networks;

Second modem / TA107a-107c;

Access point 109a-109c;

Servers 111a to 111c in access points 109a to 109c;

First gateways 113a to 113c;

Internet 115 as a communication network and

Second gateways 117a and 117b;

A web server 119a to 119a serving as an automatic selection means is provided, and the web information providing apparatus 200 includes an IP address pool database 201 as a local database for IP addresses.

It will be described below the operation of the web information providing apparatus 200 of the preceding invention.

A general user who wants to use the web information providing apparatus 200, for example, a user in Tokyo, dials a provider access point 109a using a communication program called communication software from the user terminal 101a (step 401).

When the user terminal 101a is connected to the access point 109a via the first modem / TA103a, the analog / digital line 105a, and the second modem / TA107a (step 403), the access point 109a requests the user to transmit a request such as a login name and a password of the user. The terminal 101a is executed (step 405), and the user terminal 101a sends information such as a login name and a password to the access point 109a in response (step 407).

If the login name and password transmitted from the user terminal 101a to the access point 109a are correct, and the communication environment setting of the user terminal 101a is also available for the access point 109a (step 409), the user terminal 101a is the server 111a of the access point 109a. (Step 4011), the server 111a of the access point 109a selects one IP address from among the plurality of stored IP addresses and assigns it to the user terminal 101a (step 413). This assignment means that the user terminal 101a has acquired one IP address as local information.

Next, when the user uses the WWW, the user interprets the web data as web information such as HTML data, and sets the browser 101a to use the user terminal 101a in advance to display and play text, still images, moving images, etc. on the user terminal. You must put it.

After the IP address is assigned to the user terminal 101a from the server 111a, the user expresses the type and storage location of the data at one time using a browser. For example, enter or select a URL as shown in FIG. The URL may be inputted into the input portion of the browser by the keyboard, or may select a portion linked to the desired URL on the web page by the mouse.

For example, the URL of a web page that the user wants to view is "http: // www. xxx. co. jp / index1. htm1 ”. When the user enters or selects this URL in a browser, the user terminal 101a displays the domain "xxx. co. "index1." which is a kind of web data stored in the web server 119a of "www" of jp ". htm1 " is sent to the server 111a of the access point 109a for requesting the transmission of the HTML data of the file " htm1 ", the user's IP address, and the type of browser used by the user (step 415).

The server 111a, having received this information, then transmits the transmission request, the IP address and the browser information to " xxx. co. jp " is sent to the " www " web server 119a via the Internet 115 (step 417).

When this information is received by the web server 119a (step 419), the web server 119a analyzes the program of the "index1.htm1" file that has been requested to be sent (step 421). htm1 " and the other data referred to are transmitted to the user terminal 101a (step 423).

At this time, in the present invention, the index1. Assume that there is a description as a local program for automatically selecting data that varies depending on the region among programs of the file htm1 ".

The web server 119a interprets the program of the file "index1.htm1" (step 421), and if it finds a technique for automatically selecting data that varies depending on the region, the IP in the same site or an external site is found. The originating region of the user is determined using the IP address pool database 201 and the IP address transmitted from the user terminal 101a as shown in Fig. 5, which is composed of an example database in which the address and the region correspond to 1: 1 (step 425).

After the web server 119a determines the user, the web server 119a selects web data corresponding to the origination area determined by the IP pool database 201 (step 427), and adds it to the step 423 to transmit it to the user terminal 101a. (Step 429)

Thus, index1. htm1 data "index1." htm1 " and other web data such as data corresponding to a region are interpreted by the browser of the user terminal 101a and displayed as text, still images, moving images, and the like (step 431).

For example, "http: // www. xxx. co. jp / ”is a site providing weather forecast information. Index1. htm1 ”describes a program that selects weather forecast information from all over Japan, and the diary corresponding to the origin of the region from which the originating region belongs in the user's origin region determined by the web server using the IP address pool database. Send the forecast web data to the user terminal. For this reason, when a user opens this site, he / she can automatically view weather forecasts from all over Japan belonging to the user's origination area.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the user does not need to manually select local information while reading the web page, the local information can be read automatically, thereby reducing the effort required for selection. Of course, if the user wants to view information in the region other than the user's originating region, it goes without saying that the user may access the access point in the region other than the originating region or use the same method as before.

The present invention uses the access point pool as a regional database of telephone numbers with an access point's telephone number instead of an IP address database instead of an IP address pool database. Also good. The access point may be located either on the same site or on an external site.

[2nd Prior Invention]

Next, a second prior invention according to the present invention will be described.

6 is a diagram illustrating a web information providing apparatus according to the present invention.

The web information providing apparatus 300 of the present invention has a telephone / postal code database 301 serving as a telephone number and / or zip code large area database instead of the IP address pool database 201 of the first preceding invention. (However, the same numerals are assigned to the same members as the prior art and the first preceding invention).

The operation of the web server information providing apparatus 300 of the present invention is described below.

Index2. Stored in the web server 119a of the first preceding invention. Assume that there is a technique for automatically selecting different data for each region in the program of htm1 " file.

As described in the first preceding invention, the web server 119b uses the IP address and the IP address pool database 201 sent from the server 111b to determine the user's originating region. htm1 " file requires more detailed zones than the user's origination area, the web server 119b may provide user terminal 101b with more detailed zones such as the user's telephone number (or part thereof) or the postal code of the zone. Requires disclosure of definable information.

For example, the origination area of the user determined using the IP address pool database 201 was determined to be "Omiya City, Saitama Prefecture," for example. htm1 "divides the information file into more detailed zones than" Omiya-shi, Saitama ", the web server 119b requests the user terminal 101b to transmit information such as a user's telephone number or postal code to the web server 119b. When the information is sent to web server 119b, web server 119b uses a telephone / postal code database consisting of a telephone number, postal code or address and a one-to-one correspondence database within or on the same site. The data corresponding to the area is transmitted to the user terminal 101b via the Internet 115 and the access point 109b.

Therefore, the present invention can limit the area more detailed for the user to disclose information such as a telephone number or a postal code, and can provide the user with information suitable for a more detailed area than the first preceding invention.

However, the present invention may be set in advance in the communication program so that when the user terminal 101b transmits a transmission request to the access point 109b, the user's telephone number or postal code and the like are simultaneously transmitted.

The information registered in the provider in advance may be automatically transmitted from the access point 109b to the web server 119b without using a communication program.

In addition, by using the function of automatically notifying the user's telephone number when the user connects to the connection destination, the user permits the provider to transmit the telephone number over the Internet 115 in advance so that the user can access the access point 109b. The telephone number of the user notified of this may be automatically transmitted from the access point 109b to the web server 119b.

In addition, when the user manually transmits information such as a telephone number or a postal code, the information of another area can be obtained by transmitting information of another area.

Each base station is assigned with ID information (hereinafter referred to as base station ID) which becomes the ID of the base station.

Since the base stations are distributed by region, the base station ID is helpful as the area information.

The base station ID / IP address database 507 is a database in which the IP address of the mobile communication terminal 501 and the base station ID of the base station to which the mobile communication terminal 501 is connected correspond one-to-one.

However, if the base station to which the mobile communication terminal 501 is moved and connected is changed, the existing data is invalid. Whenever the base station to which the mobile communication terminal 501 is connected is changed, the base station ID of the newly connected base station and the IP address of the mobile communication terminal 501 are changed. Is sent to the base station ID / IP address database 507. Therefore, while the mobile communication terminal 501 is connected to a base station somewhere, the base station ID / IP address database 507 automatically changes data regarding the IP address, base station ID and correspondence of the mobile communication terminal 501, and always stores the latest data. In addition, since the base stations are distributed by region, predetermined area information of the base station owning the base station ID is corresponding to the base station ID. The base station ID / IP address database 507 can only be established by the service provider.

The operation of the web information providing apparatus 500 of the present embodiment will be described below.

At this time, the IP address of the mobile communication terminal 501 is transmitted to the base station, and the base station transmits the IP address and the base station ID of the base station to the base station ID / IP address database 507 via the mobile communication terminal 505.

In the base station ID / IP address database 507, data in which the sent IP address and the base station ID correspond one-to-one is created and stored.

On the other hand, the mobile communication terminal 501 requests transmission of web page information by input or selection by a user. The transmission request is transmitted to the web server 119 having the requested web page information via the base station 503, the mobile communication network 505, the Internet 150, and the like. At this time, the IP address of the mobile communication terminal 501 is also transmitted.

The web server 119 interprets a program of web page information and, if there is a technique for selecting different information according to the region in the program, accesses the base station ID / IP address database 507 and the corresponding base station ID / IP. The location information of the base station to which the mobile communication terminal 501 is connected, that is, the current location information of the mobile communication terminal 501, is determined using the data of the address database 507 and the transmitted IP address of the mobile communication terminal 501. Next, the web server 119 selects web data information based on the determined location information of the mobile communication terminal 501 and transmits the selected information to the mobile communication terminal 501.

In addition, the base station of the present embodiment may be regarded as a low orbit forward planet used for iridium or the like.

As described above, according to the web information providing method and the web information providing apparatus of the present invention, in the web information providing method (web information providing apparatus) for providing web information to a user terminal via a communication network, it is assigned to the user terminal. A first discriminating step (first discriminating means) of discriminating the region to which the IP address assigned to the user terminal belongs, using the obtained IP address and the region database of the IP address corresponding to the region;

A first selection step (first selection means) of selecting web information corresponding to the region based on the identified region;

It has a first transmission step (first transmission means) for transmitting the selected web information to a user terminal assigned an IP address. Particularly, an IP address is assigned to the user terminal in advance so that part of the communication network is a dedicated line.

Accordingly, the user terminal may automatically read web information related to the region where the user terminal belongs or is located.

In addition, since the user terminal can register data on the IP address and the region in the region database for the IP address, the user terminal can register the data in the region database for the assigned IP address and the IP address corresponding to the region where the user terminal exists. Information can be registered freely.

Furthermore, in a web information providing method (web information providing apparatus) for providing web information to a user terminal that can be transported through a communication network including a mobile communication network and a general purpose network having at least one base station, the user terminal includes: A second determination step of determining a base station to which the user terminal is connected by using an ID information database for an IP address for storing and protecting an IP address of the base station to which the user terminal is connected; 2 discrimination means);

A second selecting step (second selecting means) for selecting web information corresponding to a region to which the corresponding region belongs based on the determined base station;

And a second transmission step (second transmission means) for transmitting the selected web information to the user terminal.

Therefore, even if the user terminal is a portable terminal whose position changes over time, the web information related to the region where the user terminal is located can be read.
