EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the Example by this invention is described in detail with reference to an accompanying drawing.

1 is an overall block diagram of a system configuration according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the present invention is connected to each other via wireless Internet, and has a membership module 102, a member authentication module 104, a service management module 106, and a communication module 108. , A web server 100 including a member database 112 and an information database 114, and a client 120 connected to the web server 100 through a wireless internet and receiving information from the web server 100. It consists of.

The membership module 102 of the web server 100 is a means for receiving minimal information from the client 120 and registering as a member, and the member authentication module 104 is a client through the communication module 108. The service management module 106 is a module for managing various services provided to the client 120 from the web server 100 side by determining the membership by determining the information transmitted from the 120. Module 108 is a means for enabling the transmission and reception of data between the Internet and the web server 100.

The member database 112 of the web server 100 includes data such as an ID, a password, a name, an address, a contact, a group name, whether to apply for services such as Push and SMS, etc. on the client 120 side. The information database 114 includes data such as various religious information provided through the service management module 106, such as the Bible, hymns, worship announcements, church news, Shinto news, or pastor sympathy.

The client 120 is, for example, a wireless mobile communication terminal of an individual user who receives information by accessing the web server 100 through a wireless Internet service such as a wireless application protocol (WAP) method or a mobile explorer (ME) method. For example, a cellular phone or PDA terminal such as a cellular phone, a PCS, and an IMT-2000 terminal. That is, the wireless mobile communication terminal according to the present invention is provided with a wireless internet access means, and the wireless internet access means is a terminal capable of transmitting and receiving data by connecting to a server that provides a wireless internet service. Of course, the present invention is not limited to mobile phones or PDA terminals such as Celula phones, PCS and IMT-2000 terminals.

Brief description of the wireless Internet service using WAP is as follows. That is, in the WAP method, a WAP gateway (Gateway) is provided between the wireless network and the existing wired Internet network so that the client 120 communicates with the WAP gateway using a protocol defined by the WAP. Communication is performed between the web server 100 by HTTP, which is an existing Internet communication protocol. When the client 120 presses the Internet access button, this signal requests a service to the wired Internet network through the WAP gateway, and again WAP. The gateway receives the response from the web server 100 and transmits the response to the client 120.

To provide these services to users, mobile operators must implement WAP gateways, and wireless communication terminal manufacturers must embed WAP browsers in their terminals to view WML sites. The side must implement the WML site.

On the other hand, in the ME method, a browser in a wireless communication terminal performs the work of the WAP gateway, and internally, it is compatible with the existing HTTP method, and mHTML, which is abbreviated HTML, is used when constructing a site.

The web server 100 is a device for providing a service according to the present invention having the above-described module and database, and can be accessed through the client 120. When the service provided by the web server 100 supports the wired Internet service, the user may connect using a general computer as well as a wireless communication terminal such as the illustrated client 120.

In addition, in order for the web server 100 to provide a wireless Internet service, a non-ASCII file (eg, a graphic, tabular calculation data, a document editor format for each company, a voice file, etc.) may be converted into an ASCII format. In the section on setting the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) TYPE, which is the standard method of conversion, the corresponding extension of the files that make up the site used for the wireless Internet service (for example, .hdml, .wml, .wbmp, .wmls, etc.) You must specify support for. In addition, it may be necessary to specify other matters in the files constituting the wireless Internet site for Korean expression.

In addition, when the information provided is more effective to deliver voice data than that through the site service, the web server 100 further includes an ARS, and only the schematic information is provided through the site service of the web server 100. The detailed information may be provided as voice data in conjunction with ARS.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing religious information using the wireless Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention implemented through the system of FIG. 1.

First, when the client 200 accesses the web server 100 through the wireless Internet using the wireless mobile communication terminal, the web server 100 authenticates whether the connected client 120 is a member and if the member is not a member. Perform the member registration procedure as in S200 (S210).

At this time, the registration process of step (S200) allows the client 120 through the membership module 102 provided by the web server 100 side ID, password, name, address, contact information, organization name, Push and Enter whether or not to apply for SMS service. The group name is a method of selecting a church name or a section name by inputting an address after selecting a religion, for example, based on a predetermined procedure among group name data pre-inputted in the web server 100 rather than directly inputting by the client 120. It is preferable to set it as. In addition, even if the web server 100 does not provide a wired Internet service in providing religious information, the membership registration process may be performed through a computer because of the complexity and cumbersomeness.

When information is input through the membership registration process, the web server 100 stores the received data in the member database 112.

Subsequently, if the authentication result member of step S210 is a member, the service screen provided by the web server 100 is displayed on the display device of the client 120 (S220). At this time, the member 120 refers to data such as the organization name of the client 120 from the member database 112 at the time of membership authentication, so that the client 120 provides the list of all services provided by the web server 100 instead of providing the list of services provided by the site. You can also list only the services you can receive.

Next, the client 120 selects a service to be used and requests a transmission from the web server 100 (S230). An example of how the client 120 selects a service will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 illustrates an example of a method in which a client 120 selects a service and receives information related to a church of a specific church.

First, the web server 100 provides a screen 300 to select one of seven religions to the display device of the client 120. At this time, for example, if the Christian (No. 1) is selected, a screen 310 for selecting one of the eight services provided by the Christian appears. If you select a church broadcasting station (number 2) among these services, a screen 320 providing a list of churches appears. If you select Love Church (No. 1) among these lists, a screen 330 is provided which provides a list of five services provided by Love Church. The client 120 side presses a number corresponding to the service to be provided on the terminal. You will complete your selection.

Finally, the web server 100 receives the information about the selected service from the information database 114 and transmits the information to the client 120, thereby providing the service (S240). In this case, when detailed information is provided to the ARS, access to the ARS may be additionally required.

When the client 120 selects Push or SMS service when registering as a member, it is a matter of course that information can be provided without going through the service screen. For example, when a new news of a specific church is added, the web server 100 stores relevant data in the information database 114 and the information of the client 120 who has set up Push or SMS service as a believer of the specific church. Read from the member database 112, and send them new news in the form of SMS service. This is shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the embodiment of FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 is applied to providing church-related information to members of a particular church, and receives companionship information.

First, the church member client 100 accesses the web server 100 through the wireless Internet using a wireless mobile communication terminal, and goes through the member authentication procedure of steps S200 and S210 of FIG. 2 (S500).

Next, the client 100 selects a desired service through the screen as shown in FIG. 3 (S510). That is, select Christianity among various religions (300 in FIG. 3), select a church-specific station among Christianity (310 in FIG. 3), select a love church from the church list (320 in FIG. 3), and provide it in the Love Church. The companion information is selected from among the services described above (330 of FIG. 3).

When the companion information is selected, news related to the companion is transmitted to the terminal of the client 100 at step S520.

The companionship information is, for example, "Cheolsu Kim died on January 5, 2001." "The Park Young-chul was promoted to the Welfare Division of Gangnam-gu Office on January 3, 2001." General information about church members, or "Deacon Lee Jung-jung in District 3 is suffering from arthritis. Please pray together." It will provide a variety of companionship information provided by the church, such as.

In providing the companion information, an SMS service may be used as described with reference to FIG. 4. For example, when the church sets new data to the web server 100 and transmits it to the church members, the web server 100 transmits the companion information as described above to the terminal of each member through the procedure described with reference to FIG. 4. Will be sent in the form of SMS.

As described above, when the client 120 accesses the web server 100 or when the information is provided through the SMS service, the client 120 may be connected to the ARS system to provide more detailed information.

For example, the client 120 connects to the web server 100 and reads, "Cheng Chul-soo Cheng dropped on January 5, 2001." If you receive a phone call news, "press the call button if you want to receive more detailed information" by sending a message, when the client 120 presses the call connection button of the terminal, ARS interworking with the web server 100 By connecting to the system, it is possible to transmit the details of the relevant information to the client 120 as voice data.

Even when using SMS, by sending a message "Press the call button for more detailed information" after the body message transmitted, when the client 120 presses the call connection button of the terminal, the web server 100 and By connecting to the interlocked ARS system, the detailed information of the related information may be transmitted to the client 120 as voice data.

This process is illustrated in steps S530 to S540 of FIG. 5.

In the above, it has been described with reference to the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
