Abstract

The invention is a method or apparatus for retrieving one or more data from a remote computer on a network and configured to automatically run on a client computer.

Description

Method and apparatus for presenting a plularity of data transmitted from a remote computer on a client computer in the network}

Internet users now find data in the following ways, seeing and hearing data searches and other useful data as they move between websites. -Search for the information you want by entering keywords and click on the link of the searched data.-Click on the link in the web document.

In the description of the information content that the client wants, the existing technology: the search engine site or the program installed on the client to search the DB of the search engine site. The technology of the present invention is described in a program installed on a client or in a separate web site, the search engine server obtains this information, searches its own DB, and transmits the selected contents to a content destination through a service engine. There are various methods for this configuration. In the transmission of content data to the client, the existing technology: radio, TV, movie data is transmitted from the server to the client through a specific application program, but the technology of the present invention: web data, print commands, video data of TV / movie A plurality of pieces of data are continuously transmitted to the client (destination). In the case of web text data, the service server converts the text to speech and transmits it to the client. Conventional technology in advertising: advertisements are displayed between web pages or TVs / movies, exchange of data requests and request recognition by the TCP protocol when the site is changed, data reception, and advertisements are displayed during the time period before display. Technology of the Invention: While the content is transmitted from the service server, advertisements can be inserted during the buffering period due to the difference between the content, the content, the site and the site, and the data format, or at the moment required by the company. The web-following function is the existing technology: sending the website information to be moved between the client and the other client, and the other client automatically recognizes it and treats it as being clicked to move the websites. However, the technique of the present invention is to move web sites, but to send a list to be moved from the service server to the client, to move the linked sites of each list in turn from the client, or to send a url from the service server to move like the web tracking function. do. This targets a site / web data following the web, but in the present invention, a plurality of contents of a plurality of sites are continuously transmitted. In the posting of information on a specific web page, the technology of the present invention is also provided: the user has write permission on a specific home page and sends the list to the user so that each list is automatically moved or executed. In order to provide the information required by the user through the existing technology: Email / other methods, the web is configured and transmitted to the user according to the request, but the technology of the present invention: The user request is sent by mail or other means, and web data information is sent to the url specified by the user based on the request. Providing information on an intranet is an existing technology: An intranet provides data from a server to a client or other web server according to a user's request, but the technology of the present invention is implemented in the Internet and not in an intranet, and such information must be accessed by a third party. can see. According to the configuration of the content transmission to a specific url of the present invention, a user having the same hobby can access the same content content from one site, so that multiple users of the same symbol can be redirected to a specific url or to the same url as another user. Traffic can be reduced by allowing the same content to be viewed on one site. Conventional Techniques for Data Compression: The current Internet uses TCP for data transfer over HTTP and UDP for data transfer over mail. However, the technique of the present invention: Web data is compressed and sent to the client. Since the server sends data in batches to clients, the relationship between 'data request' and 'data request recognition' is usually unnecessary. Therefore, it compresses data transmission between server and client and sends it to batch client, and unpacks it and shows it to browser. Transmission of TCP or UDP protocol of web data is also possible.

** Definition of terms and other matters

Web data screening: The technique of automatically sending the web data of the present invention to the screen of the client so that the user only sees or hears it is called web data screening. Web data includes all the data formats on the Internet mentioned above.

Service Server: This function detects the input of user's order, receives it, processes it, and delivers it to other server to handle the user's request properly and deliver the result to the user. This is referred to as a service server means or a service server here for convenience. This service server means may be executed by one program on the client computer, but it does not mean much.

There are many ways to accomplish some task between client and server. For example, the program can be installed on the client, on an intermediate server, or on a content server. In all such cases, the description of the present invention requires considerable effort. In the present invention, it is intended to cover and address these problems as much as possible, but may be omitted from the description. However, such matters are considered to include all these cases by describing them as xxx means, xxx devices (including servers). In other words, whether the program means are executed on the client or the server, they are regarded as the same unless there is a significant difference in performance and technical content. The transmission of data is regarded as the same unless there is a big difference between a mail and a separate program.

Type of content data: Includes web data and other data of all kinds and formats on computers and the Internet.

Configuration of the Invention: Includes configuration of client and server, peer to peer (P2P), mail client and server and all other forms of configuration.

** Technical Specification

In order to allow the user to automatically receive and view the content data of the present invention, the content data should be automatically received and viewed at the destination of the user. The user will be more satisfied if the user can receive the desired information among the content data.

The basic principle of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and a flowchart.

In order for a user to receive data automatically, the following elements are required.

-Content data destination

-Server with content data

A service engine (or engine for the user to receive) the content to the destination of the user (collectively referred to as a service engine)

In addition to this, for the process of selecting the content desired by the user may include the following.

A content search engine for searching the content list database or content to create it

-Means of selecting content data that the user wishes to watch

In FIG. 1, 1-1 is a content server including content. In a service engine of 1-2, contents that a good user wants from a content server are selected and transmitted to the contents data destination of 1-3 (2-1 in Fig. 2). When the service engine is configured at the content data destination, the data is directly imported from the content servers at the content data destination (1-4). This content is received at the content data destination for viewing (2-2)

In order to provide more desired contents to the user, the content search engine 1-5 is provided, and content selection means 1-6 are further configured to grasp the contents order contents desired by the user. When the user describes the type of content he / she wants through content selection means (2-3 in Fig. 2) (2-4), the content is notified to the service engine (2-5), and based on this 1 A content server is searched in advance in the content search engine of -5 to search in the constructed content database to generate a desired content list (omitted in the flowchart of FIG. 2). The user may view the contents provided by the content search engine and the service engine without any choice, and may select from among them by providing a plurality of selection options. In order to provide exactly the content desired by the user, search engines 1-5 add content to the content database and select the content based on the following information.

-User order history database

-User profile: gender, age, level of education, occupation, interests, expertise, hobbies, content needed

-User environment information: time environment information (age, season, day / time), spatial environment information (resident / location), surrounding environment, etc.

The order content described by the user may be as follows.

-Abstract content. Example: I want to have a good time. 17:00 to 22:00

-Details. Example: From 17:00 to 1 Hour: Entertainment Movies, 18:00 to 1 Hour: News, Afterwards: "Shopping"

-'I want to buy a computer hard disk drive', etc.

The contents of the data of the content server of 1-1

Text, graphics, sound, flash, and video data. Some data can be run on a web browser and some data can be run in a separate application (eg video play program).

Content data destination of 1-3

Client computer

-Specific URL sites

can be an email.

If the user changes the desired order in Figure 2 (2-6) to return to 2-3 looping.

** Receive content data from specific url sites

Usually, the user loads the web information into the browser on the client computer to view it. In this case, however, the site is constructed in the form of a homepage at a specific site URL address, the data is sent to the site's address with write permission from the service engine company, and the user is configured to enter and view the site URL. . 3 illustrates this process.

In FIG. 3, 3-1 is a column representing a user's operation and 3-2 is an operation in a service engine. A column representing an activity. 3-3 describes the contents of the content order contents (or via mail) to the home page of a specific site URL address. Based on this information, the service engine creates a user viewing data list as described above (3-4) and sends it to the user. In this case, as a method of transmitting information to the user, it is transmitted to a specific URL mentioned in advance, such as 3-5, so that the user can access and view it (3-5) and the user accesses the mentioned URL. Recognizing it, the user can then send the URL to the user for selection (3-6, 3-7 and 3-8).

** Configure via email

In FIG. 4, when the content list of the content server of 4-1 is first transmitted to the email by the service engine (email server) of 4-2, the content data receiver 4-3 receives the content list (4-4). The content destination here includes webmail as an email client.

When the service engine (email server) of 4-2 sends a content list or content to the content data destination by email, the user selects a content list from several options, and then the content is transferred from the service engine 4-2. Continue sending to your webmail client. At this time, when the user clicks on the list, the user may transmit data through a separate web browser for viewing by the user. In the content search engine of FIGS. 4-5, the content selection means of 4-6 may be notified by the method described above in FIG. 1, or may be performed through an email.

** Technical Combinations Available

5 shows a configuration combination using the above-mentioned elements.

5-1 shows a configuration in which content servers directly transmit content to a content data destination. No service engine is included. This is a configuration without the ability to adjust content centrally.

5-2 receives the content from the content servers through the service engine and transmits the content to the content data destination.

5-3 is similar to 5-1, but the contents of the content servers are established in the content search engine and the database is directly transmitted to the content data destination.

5-4 is a service engine involved in the configuration of 5-3.

5-5 means that the content selection means is involved. The user selects the content, receives an order from the user, the content search engine searches the content server to build a database, and selects only the content that meets the user's requirements in consideration of the user's order. Send to the destination.

5-6 is the service engine involved in 5-5.

5-1 and 5-2 are federated by content server companies to unilaterally transmit specific content to content data destinations. 5-3 and 5-4 allow content search engines to create a search database of content servers' content. The data is sent to the destination. 5-1 and 5-2 are federations of content servers, whereas they deliver content selected by a content search engine to content data destinations.

5-5 and 5-6 transmit to 5-3 and 5-4 the selected content from the searched database according to the user order of the content selection means. As described in FIG.

-User order history DB

User Profile

-Including selection process through consideration of usage environment information.

In FIG. 5, the dotted arrows indicate that the content server notifies the content server to transmit to the content destination.

In configurations without central control and central delivery of service engines such as 5-1, 5-3, and 5-5, the content server communicates with other content servers and must perform work management individually. That is to say, in Figure 6,

There must be a means for the content server to finish sending the content to the content destination and to notify the other content server of the completion. The content server / site A 6-1 completes the transfer of data to the content destination (6-2), and notifies the content server / site B 6-3 of the completion of the transfer. Thereafter, the content server / site B also completes the transmission of the content and notifies the content server / site C of the completion of the transmission. In this way, advance appointments are sent to the content recipients to ensure that the content recipients are immediately connected to multiple content servers / sites so that the user can view the continuous content information.

In method 5-3, the content of the content server is managed by the search engine server and the content is transmitted to the content destination.

The content retrieval engine server 7-1 selects a list of target content databases from a content database for each content server that has already searched and retrieved a content server in order to retrieve data from each content server and transmit the data to the content destination. Each content server has a list of the content database to be transmitted to each content server, and since there is no central management and delivery process of the service engine, each content server transmits the content to the content destination based on the list. The method is the same as the method described in FIG. The content search engine server takes care of the completion of the transfer from the other content server to each content server. That is, in step 701, the content server A notifies the content server A of the content delivery target list and the transmission time (to be immediately or at a predetermined time) (7-2), thereby transferring the content to the content destination (7-3). The content server A notifies the content B of this fact after completion of the transmission (and also to the content search engine 7-1 if necessary). The content server B then transmits the content to the content destination based on the list received from the content search engine and immediately or at a predetermined time (7-4) (7-5). Likewise, do the rest of the process.

If there is a service engine in 6-4, the content receiver centrally receives the content data from the content server, or transmits the data to the content receiver in the content search engine or in a separate service server. This is different from the system for transmitting without passing through the service server.

FIG. 8 is a combination and flow chart in the case where FIG. 5 is used by including email (hereinafter referred to as mail) in the configuration. 8-1 shows a case where the content is transmitted to the content server via mail. Since there is no service engine, each content server transmits its own.

8-2 transmits the contents of the contents server as mail via the centralized engine of the service engine to the contents data receiver at once. In 8-3, the content data of the content server is retrieved by the content search engine and stored in the storage device as a database. 8-3 selects a list from the content search engine as shown in the above 8-1 by the searched content database of the content server, and transmits the list to the content data destination through an e-mail. 8-4 mails a list of content search engines to content data destinations at once through the service engine. The description thereof is as described with reference to FIG. 7. 8-5 adds a process for notifying the content search engine of the content selection means by e-mail to 8-3. 8-6 adds a process for notifying the content search engine of the content selection means through e-mail to 8-5.

In FIG. 9, the content server A 9-1 in FIG. 9-1 transmits the content or the content list content by e-mail as shown in 9-2. Then, at the content destination, when the user clicks this mail, the contents of the content server A are transmitted to the content destination by a specific program. When the transfer is completed, the content site notifies the content server B of the completion of the transfer, and the content server B likewise transmits the content to the content destination by mail. In the following, other content servers work the same. When the mail is received, the content destination collects them and executes them in sequence. That is, it is configured as communication between different content servers between content servers, automatic transmission of mails to content destinations, and automatic execution by the correct time of mails containing these contents. The mail from each content server is selected by a user or a program, and automatically executed so that the content from the content server is transmitted to the content destination via the web.

** Transport Layer Protocol and Compression

There are two types of transport layers in TCP / IP: TCP and UDP. In TCP transmission method, data request and request acceptance process must be repeated for every remote computer request. This is not suitable for the transmission of large amounts of data. In the present invention, since web data also transmits data from various sites at once, it is efficient not to go through a remote computer every time. That is, in a remote computer, it is efficient to transmit data of a plurality of web pages to a content destination at once. Therefore, the content is web data, but the transmission method is UDP, not TCP.

In order to transmit multiple web page data at once, it is efficient to compress and restore the data at the destination. In Figure 10

In FIG. 10, 10-1 transmits various web page data of the web server A, various web page data of the web server A, and various web page data of the web server A. FIG. The web pages of Web Server A, the data of Web Server B and Web Server C are compressed and transmitted as a small file such as 10-2, and then restored and shown again on the screen.

In the present invention, the text data has to be read, which is inconvenient. When the text data is transmitted from the service engine, the text data is converted into 'text to speech' so that the text data can be transmitted to and listened to the user of the content destination.

**Advertising

In FIG. 11, text, graphic, facade, sound, and video data are types of web data. In the direction of the arrow of 11-1, the specific gravity of the data (capacity of data required for constant time driving) is in ascending order. In order to convert from text to sound or video data, in order to transmit data data, it is necessary to buffer a certain amount of time to drive the data and to implement it in the client. To publish. In addition

-Site conversion

-Convert data format

-Viewing free time (when there is free time)

-Post advertisements (11-2) if necessary.

Ads may be added to the front or in part of the browser or application window, either as separate data from the original content data or as some data. In some cases, the content data may be added using a 'frame' or a 'table' in the content data. It is also added as separate voice data. It may be added in the middle of existing voice data contents. In Fig. 12, 12-1, 12-2 and 12-3 are web content data, in which 12-4 advertisements or separate data are inserted. 12-5 is an advertisement added to the web content data of 12-2.

** Addition of data

It is possible to add some content to the content in the process of transmitting the content to the content destination via the service engine. This method is similar to the above advertisement, but is also inserted into the content of the content. In FIG. 12, 12-6 is data added.

User convenience is maximized by automatically allowing the user to receive content data. Therefore, it is possible to provide the same or similar convenience as watching TV while lying down.

The user satisfaction can be maximized by composing the content data with the desired content data. The current Internet also contains a lot of garbage information. This screen eliminates the inconvenience of the current Internet by providing users with only high quality information.

These contents data are automatically selected as much as possible without user input and configured to be received by the user.

By using your order history database, you can provide the best information you need.

How to receive content from the client computer screen as well

-It consists of various methods such as Peer to Peer, Receive / View at specific site URL address, Receive Content List through email.

Data transmission is faster than TCP transmission.

You can include quality advertising and other information you need for your customers.

When switching ads from site to site or changing data formats, especially from small data formats such as text to the transfer of large amounts of data for sound and video, ads can be served using a small amount of white space for buffering. You can increase your income.
