TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a homepage using a Web-page templet, and more particularly to a homepage manufacturing method capable of providing a user with Web-page templets classified according to unique functions and designs of individual service categories, and allowing the user to edit a desired homepage using the downloaded Web-page templets, such that the user can construct the desired homepage in his or her client terminal.

BACKGROUND ART Generally, a homepage is indicative of a Webpage displayed on a monitor when a Web-browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator is executed. With the increasing number of Internet users, general users prefer to construct unique homepages on the Internet, such that they are able to introduce themselves to a plurality of other Internet users. In order to construct the above-mentioned homepage, a tool for constructing the homepage and a storage unit for storing information of the homepage are required. A variety of homepage construction software programs, for example, Namo Web Editor manufactured by Namo Interactive, Inc., Microsoft FrontPage, and Macromedia Dreamweaver, etc., have been well known in the art. However, the above-mentioned conventional homepage construction software programs have been designed for only a small number of developers. More particularly, the above-mentioned conventional homepage construction software programs have been developed for only a small number of software experts accustomed to content design or HTML syntax, such that general users have difficulty in constructing their desired homepages. In the meantime, PC communication companies or IP companies provide their subscribers with a storage space capable of storing homepage contents. The PC communication companies and the IP companies allow their subscribers to use both a unique storage space and a search-engine registration service free of charge, and allow other users unaccustomed to HTML language to easily construct their homepages using mouse-clicking actions, such that most Internet users can easily construct unique homepages on the Internet. However, in order to construct the above-mentioned homepages provided from the PC communication companies or the IP companies, a user must establish his or her homepage in a dedicated server managed by one of the above-mentioned companies, and must use a homepage interface unconditionally supplied from a corresponding company to all users. Therefore, the conventional homepage construction method cannot sufficiently satisfy a variety of expectations of users who desire to construct unique homepages in their client terminals according to users' personality and use purposes.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a homepage construction method capable of providing a user who desires to construct a unique homepage in his or her client terminal with Web-page templets having unique functions and designs of individual service categories, and allowing the user to easily edit a desired homepage on a user-friendly editing interface using the Web-page templets. It is another object of the present invention to provide a homepage construction method for providing a user with a Web-server engine program, which can automatically diagnose user client terminal environments, and can act as a Web-site without performing a complicated environment setup process, such that a user, who is unaccustomed to homepage construction and has no knowledge associated with the homepage construction, can easily construct a desired Web-site in his or her client terminal without any difficulty. In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a method for providing a Web-page templet having a unique function and design according to individual service categories over a network, and constructing a homepage using the Web-page templet, comprising the steps of: a) allowing a homepage provision service to store a packaged Web-page templet in a Web-page templet database (DB); b) performing a log-in process of a client terminal accessing a homepage of the homepage provision server; c) providing a specific Web-page templet selected by the client terminal; d) automatically installing a Web-page templet downloaded in the client terminal; and e) allowing the client terminal to load a homepage of the Web-page templet, and reflecting a specific content item edited on an edit page in a main page and a sub-page. In one aspect of the invention, the Web-page templet includes: a main page acting as an initial image when a user gains access to a Web-site over the network; a plurality of sub-pages linked to content items of the main page; a plurality of content items contained in the main page and the sub-pages; and an edit page including a variety of interfaces capable of allowing an administrator to edit the content items, wherein, if the administrator edits a specific content item on the edit page and stores the edited content item, the edited content item is automatically reflected in either the main page or the sub-pages containing the content items.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the annexed drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a homepage construction system 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the homepage construction system 1 according to the present invention includes a homepage provision server 2 and a client terminal 3. The homepage provision server 2 and the client terminal 3 are interconnected over a wired or wireless network such as the Internet network. A Web-server is constructed in the homepage provision server 2. The homepage provision server 2 transmits a list of Web-page templets classified according to homepage functions and homepage designs to the client terminal 3 of a user who gains access to a homepage of the Web-server, receives a download request of a specific Web-page templet from the user, and provides the user with the requested Web-page templet free of charge or for a charge. The client terminal 3 is indicative of a Personal Information Communication Terminal including a desktop- or notebook computer in which the user wishes to build his or her Web-site. The user gains access to the homepage provision server 2, selects a Web-page templet suitable for type information of a desired homepage, and transmits a request for downloading the selected Web-page templet to the homepage provision server 2. Preferably, the homepage provision server 2 according to the present invention determines or diagnoses whether Web-server drive solution such as Web-server engine program (e.g., IIS or Apache) has already been installed in the client terminal 3 in order to operate the client terminal 3 as a Web-server in P2P environments. If it is determined that the above-mentioned Web-server solution has not been installed in the client terminal, the homepage provision server 2 provides a user with a Web-server engine program based on the HTTP standard, which has been manufactured by the homepage provision server 2 itself to perform a homepage provision service of the present invention, such that the Web-server engine program can be automatically installed according to a specific command entered by the user. As a result, even a general user having no knowledge associated with Web-site construction receives the Web-server engine program optimized for his or her client terminal 3 from the homepage provision server 2, and can easily install the received Web-server engine program in the client terminal 3. The Web-page templet according to the present invention not only transmits a Web-page to the client terminal 3, but also includes a predetermined installation program, such that it can be automatically added to a Web-service solution (e.g., Windows control panel, Windows management instrumentation, and Internet service administrator information) of the client terminal 3 upon receiving an installation command from the user. Therefore, if the user downloads a packaged Web-page templet installation program from the homepage provision server 2, and installs the downloaded Web-page templet installation program, the Web-page templet is automatically registered as a Web-page of the client terminal 3. Particularly, the above-mentioned Web-server engine program and the above-mentioned automatic installation of the Web-page templet can allow even a beginner user to quickly and easily construct Web-site environments in his or her client terminal 3 upon receiving a user-friendly interface command of the installed program. FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for constructing a homepage in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. An administrator of the homepage provision server 2 stores a packaged Web-page templet, classified according to unique functions and designs of individual download service categories, in a Web-page templet database (DB) 211 at the step SlO (also called a templet DB storage step S 10). Referring to FIG. 3, the Web-page templet 4 provided from the homepage provision server 2 includes a main page 41, a sub-page 42, and an edit page 43. The main page 41 is indicative of an initial Web-image provided from a specific Web-site to which the user firstly gains access after the specific Web-site is constructed in the user client terminal 3. Some content items contained in the main page 41 are linked to a plurality of sub-pages 42. If the user of the client terminal 3 receives the Web-page templet 4 from the homepage provision server 2 and a homepage composed of content items of the received Web-page templet is installed, the edit page 43 is adapted to edit the content items and content construction. The edit page 43 provides the user with an edit interface associated with user-editable content items, and changes content construction of the main page 41 and the sub-page 42 using data established by the user. For example, if the user changes a background image and a letter size of a specific content item, the user designates a path of the background image and the size of a desired font and letter using an edit interface of the edit page 43. If the user clicks a storage button, data changed by the user is reflected in an HTML document of corresponding contents in such a way that the HTML document can be edited by the user. Therefore, a user having no knowledge associated with HTML language can easily change content construction and design using an interface of the edit page 43, and a detailed description thereof will hereinafter be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. As shown in FIG. 2, the homepage provision server 2 provides the user with a log-in image via a homepage when the client terminal 3 gains access to the homepage provision server 2 at the step S20. If necessary, the homepage provision server 2 allows not only member users but also non-member users to view the log-in image. The homepage provision server 2 stores member-user information in a user DB. Input data entered by the user who views the log-in image is authenticated by a member authentication process. In this case, if the homepage provision server 2 determines that the above-mentioned input data entered by the user is indicative of a valid user, it allows the valid user to access the homepage, and then a list of Web-page templets of the homepage provision server is applied to the client terminal 3. The homepage provision server 2 provides the user with a download service free of charge or for a charge at the step S30. If the download service is supplied to the user for a charge, the homepage provision server 2 performs authentication and settlement services for a settlement means of the user. If the user settlement means is indicative of valid settlement information, the homepage provision server 2 queries the Web-page templet DB 21 1 for a user-purchased Web-page templet, and transmits the user-purchased Web-page templet to the client terminal 3. Preferably, the homepage provision server 2 determines whether the client terminal 3 includes a Web-server solution (e.g., IIS or Apache) acting as a Web-server. If it is determined that the Web-server solution is not installed in the client terminal 3, the homepage provision server 2 may transmit a unique Web-server engine program having been manufactured for the inventive service to the client terminal 3 according to the HTTP standard as necessary. The client terminal 3 automatically installs the downloaded Web-page templet in the form of an installer at the step S40, and at the same time the downloaded Web-page templet is automatically added to prior homepage registration information of the client terminal 3. The user loads a local homepage on a Web-browser 31 at the step S50, and edits a setup value associated with a specific content item contained in a Web-page using the edit page 43, such that a unique Web-page of the user can be constructed at the step S50. In this case, the homepage provision server 2 allows the user to receive homepage environment setup information in the client terminal via the edit page, and allows the user to store the received homepage environment setup information in the homepage information DB. Therefore, the homepage provision server 2 queries the homepage information DB for a homepage environment of a current user, and determines which one of content items is contained in the homepage, such that it can provide the user with a service specialized for the homepage construction environment. FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the homepage provision server 2 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the homepage provision server 2 for use in the homepage construction system 1 includes a Web-page templet management unit 21, a Web-page templet DB 211, a client environment diagnosis unit 22, and a homepage information DB 23. The user executes the Web-browser 31 in the client terminal 3, gains access to a homepage of the homepage provision server 2, and registers as a member in the homepage provision server 2. Subsequently, the user enters a unique ID and password for member authentication, and logs in as a member of the homepage provision server 2. The Web-page templet management unit 21 queries a Web-page templet DB for a list of the Web-page templets, and provides the user with the list of the Web-page templets. The user selects a user-preference Web-page templet, and transmits a request for downloading the selected Web-page templet to the homepage provision server 2 as the step O in FIG. 4. The homepage provision server 2 queries the user for diagnosis information diagnosing whether the Web-server engine program is installed in the client terminal 3. If a Web-site has already been installed in the client terminal 3, the user may omit the above-mentioned diagnosis process as necessary. The client environment diagnosis unit 22 transmits an execution code such as ActiveX to the client terminal 3, such that it diagnoses whether the Web-server engine program is installed in the client terminal 3 at the step © in FIG. 4. Therefore, information indicative of the diagnosis result and client information such as OS-version information capable of allowing the client terminal 3 to act as a Web-server are collected. According to the diagnosis result, the client environment diagnosis unit 22 provides a Web-server engine program suitable for a user's Web-server environment at the step © in FIG. 4. The Web-page templet management unit 211 extracts a user-selected Web-page templet from the Web-page templet DB 211, and transmits the extracted Web-page templet to the client terminal 3 at the step © in FIG. 4. The user installs the Web-server engine program or the Web-page templet in the client terminal 3 according to information messages of the automatic installation program. It should be noted that a method for installing the Web-server engine program and the Web-page templet is not limited to the above-mentioned method shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and can also be modified in various ways as necessary. For example, upon receiving a download request from the user, a predetermined installation program in which the Web-server engine program and the Web-page templet are packaged is transmitted to the user client terminal. The installation program diagnosis the environment of the client terminal 3, and recommends a Web-server engine program suitable for the diagnosed client terminal environment to the user, such that the user can directly establish and install desired environment information. The Web-page templets downloaded in the client terminal 3 are automatically installed by a predetermined installer program, and the installed Web-page templet is automatically added to prior Web-service solution (i.e., Internet service administrator information) of the client terminal. If the Web-page templet is installed in the client terminal 3, a homepage is constructed by content construction of the installed Web-page templet. The user loads his or her local homepage to execute the Web-browser 31 at the step © in FIG. 4. The user may correct, add, and delete content items of the Web-page templet via the edit page 43 of the homepage. Therefore, the user can freely design a specific Web-page according to his or her taste and preference. If the user edits/stores a specific content and a design thereof using an interface displayed on the edit page 43, the edited data is reflected in a source code such as an HTML document of either the main page 41 to which the specific content belongs or the sub-page 42. The environment setup information of the user-edited local homepage is transmitted to the homepage provision server 2, such that it can be stored in the homepage information DB 23. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a settlement function for use in the homepage construction system 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the homepage provision server 2 provides a user with a list of Web-page templets, such that the user can select a specific Web-page templet at the step O in FIG. 5. The client terminal 3 selects a specific Web-page templet suitable for purposes of a homepage to be constructed, performs a settlement process, and transmits a download request at the step © in FIG. 5. The homepage provision server 2 further includes a settlement information DB (not shown), such that it stores settlement information associated with the purchase of a specific Web-page templet in the settlement information DB. A variety of settlement means can be used to purchase the specific Web-page templet, for example, a credit card, a gift card, electronic money, and a transfer account, etc. The homepage provision server 2 authenticates user settlement information. If the user settlement information is determined to be valid settlement information, the homepage provision server 2 transmits a specific Web-page templet to the client terminal 3. Exemplary homepages editable by a user according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG. 6 exemplarily shows a main page of a Web-page templet in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
