Description

Database construction and operation method for integrated management of personal information on the Internet {UN IDB}

The present invention eliminates the procedure of separately registering the member on the web page and is a new technology that automatically authenticates the user on any web page, so that the user can automatically know his or her information without inputting the information separately. It is about.

The user information and authentication management method used in the past has been implemented without any standards and standards for each website, which in turn caused the complexity of member management on the Internet, and the inconvenience of having to learn numerous member management and authentication methods in many sites. There was a ham. The most basic member management and authentication method is to give ID and password to individual, and to operate separately for each site, and then use CGI method such as cookie and session as user authentication method. The former enters the personal information into the user's computer and checks the user's information whenever necessary. The latter stores the user's status information on the website and confirms the information. This method can be called a breakthrough because it can remember the user's status information, but it is also a way to operate separately for each site was created in a different way for each site, it was not possible to operate efficiently by interworking information. Since then, a more advanced method is to use an authentication card using a barcode. In this method, the card reader is mounted on the actual keyboard or main body of the computer or when the user inserts the authentication card and reads the information of the card from the Internet site. However, this method is rarely used because the hardware equipment of the card reader is very expensive and the user base is very small and the card is inconvenient.

The present invention integrates and manages user information scattered on an Internet site as one, and develops an electronic authentication card implemented on the Internet called 'user authentication client browser' by breaking away from the existing physical card authentication method. By integrating the user's information into a DB server, there is no need to visit the website and register separately. Conveniently authenticate the user at any time on the Internet by granting the user an electronic authentication card implemented on the Internet. You can get it. The DB server construction means that the existing web sites are separated from the way they each had member information and share the member information subscribed to the DB server. This means that the member information of all websites is automatically updated just by changing the information of the DB server.

The present invention can change the authentication and membership information in all sites by changing only one ID and one member information on the Internet. In addition, it provides user authentication method that can be commonly used in all sites, and implements card authentication method implemented in hardware by software. It provides a way to visually verify the authentication status on the Internet by showing it to the user's PC as a client program.

1 is an overall flow diagram in accordance with the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment viewed from a user point of view according to the present invention.

3 is a flow diagram illustrating an embodiment of interaction between a DB server and a website according to the present invention;

The present invention can be summarized in a form designed to interoperate with the DB server using the Internet web browser as a client, and any operating system that can run the Internet web browser independent and independent of the characteristics of the operating system to operate it Can be used. Also, instead of being tied to any one web browser, any kind of Internet web browser that follows the WWW standard can be used as a client.

1 is an overall flow chart of the present invention, the user is to be authenticated his personal information on the Internet, and to provide an additional convenience accordingly. Therefore, the user authentication and personal information management system is connected to the DB server (A02). The first visitor goes through the membership registration process. Internet sites such as name, resident registration number, address, occupation, age, etc. input information about general items desired as member information, and the card number used for card payment such as e-commerce can be selectively entered. If the membership is approved, the user will receive the desired ID and password. When the user logs in to the DB server using the ID and password (A05), the user authentication client (A06) program is executed from the DB server, and the user authentication client (A06) browser window is opened in the corner of the user PC. While this browser window is open, the user is automatically approved when visiting any website on the Internet, and the user completes the login by entering only the ID given by his DB server without going through a separate login process (A10). can do. If you visit a site and visit for the first time, the registration is completed by simply entering your DB server password (A09). The site receives the member information from the DB server using Pass Weed (A11) and automatically processes the member information and then performs the automatic login process (A10). If the login process is successfully completed, the user authentication function is activated, and the user can freely use the information (A12) without the constraint of using the information of the website. In order to use this convenient user authentication function, the web site must support the format that can be communicated with the DB server in advance, and the format and technical problems are provided by the DB service.

Therefore, websites can be upgraded to support DB server easily while using existing authentication method. Even if the user logs out of the site (A13), the user authentication is valid. Therefore, even if the user accesses another website (A14), the user can log in immediately without logging in. The user releases the user authentication (A15) by terminating the user authentication client browser activated on his PC.

The technical procedure of user authentication is

① User enters their DB server ID by visiting the website,

② The step of requesting the authentication status to the DB server using the ID received from the website,

③ After receiving the authentication request from the website, the DB server communicates with the user authentication client browser window open on the user's computer to check whether the user authentication client browser window is open or closed.

④ transmitting the verification result to the website,

⑤ The website can be classified into the step of notifying the user's authentication according to the result notification.

The technical procedure for automatic membership

① User visits the website for the first time and enters his or her DB server ID and password.

② requesting the user's personal information to the DB server using the ID and password entered from the website,

③ The DB server can be classified into the stage of sending the user's information to the website after the approval process.

Through thorough integrated management of personal information, it is possible to reliably and accurately authenticate users. User authentication is maintained when moving to any server supporting the DB server of the Internet until the user closes the user authentication client browser window open on his PC. When the user authentication client browser window is closed, the user authentication system is released (A15) and security is maintained.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment viewed from a user point of view according to the present invention. The operation principle of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The user is to be authenticated his personal information on the Internet, and to provide the additional convenience accordingly. The member login (B02) is used to access the DB server, a user authentication and personal information management system. After confirming that the user authentication client window is open, go to the desired Internet website (B03). Enter your DB server ID on the login screen and log in automatically. In the card payment part such as e-commerce, the payment is authenticated by the user, so the payment can be completed simply by inputting the password of the DB server (B08). After all the usages are finished, the user authentication client window is closed to release the authentication system.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of interaction between a DB server and a website according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 3 will be described the operation principle of the present invention.

The user logs in to the DB server (C02). The user authentication client window (C06) is opened and the user's authentication system is started, and the banner menu of the hierarchical structure can be viewed. This is a form that is automatically registered in the user's client window while joining the website, and is registered in the appropriate hierarchy according to the characteristics of the website. For example, there may be a top menu of games, hobbies, education, etc. The registration of a website about a game is registered as a submenu of a top menu called a game. In this way, all the sites visited and registered by the user are organized and organized in a hierarchical structure. In addition, it is registered in the form of a button, and when the user presses the button, the user automatically moves to the corresponding website (C08). In addition, if you move by pressing the button, the complete authentication is guaranteed, so the process of asking for ID is omitted.

The technical process by which the menu is managed

① The first time you visit a website,

② Enter the ID of the DB server for user authentication verification,

③ membership is not registered, so enter the password to join the membership,

④ the website receives the necessary information of the member from the DB server,

⑤ Website can be classified into the stage of sending its information to DB server.

The registered icons are in the form of banner, and each website is managed independently by the corresponding website. If the website to be moved does not support the DB server, the website can be manually registered (C16).

The technical procedure for manually managing menus is

① Manually register a website that does not support DB server,

② go to the website by pressing the registered icon,

③ analyzing the login script of the website in the DB server,

④ analyzing the login script to input the user's ID and password instead or providing an input window for input,

⑤ ID password can be automatically entered and classified into the step of logging in.

There are two ways to log in this way. If you have analyzed the login script and analyzed it completely, you can automatically enter the ID and password to automatically log in, and if the login script analysis (C17) fails, enter the login input. This is how you provide an input box to help. There is a password and ID in the input window, so you can enter the login information by simply double clicking or dragging with the mouse.

According to the present invention, since personal information is input to the DB server on the Internet and integratedly managed, the user's information can be efficiently changed and inquired. When a user visits a number of websites and registers, the user does not need to input his / her user information separately. If you only check the ID of your DB server, the web site will send you the contents of the DB server directly without having to enter information. In other words, the member information of each website is the same as that of the DB server.

Users do not have to visit numerous websites to change their membership information. By changing the information in the DB server, the information on all websites is updated. This is because the member information of each website and the information of the DB server are the same.

Efficient management is possible by registering the website URL used by the user and the corresponding ID and password. The URLs they use are organized and managed in a hierarchical structure by field, and their IDs and passwords are also managed, so there is no need to memorize or memo.

You can log in and log in to any site with one ID provided by the DB server, so you don't have to worry about memorizing multiple IDs or forgetting passwords.

The user authentication client system maintains user authentication across all sites on the Internet, so there is no need to worry about user authentication. In addition, since the same function as using a real user authentication card by attaching a card reader to the actual keyboard or the main body is implemented in software on the Internet, the existing inconvenience that authentication was possible only in the place where the card reader is installed is eliminated. In addition, it is convenient because the user authentication client window visually expresses the current site or the authentication result using a message, a table, or an icon.

The icons in the menu linked to the page are in the form of a banner. The banner is managed on the website, so that news, events, etc. can be inserted into the banner, providing visual information to users. Users can see this and quickly learn about the current status of the site.
