Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[31] A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[32] FIG. 1 is an entire block diagram illustrating a person position searching system using an internet according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[33] As shown in FIG. 1, the person position searching system using the internet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a web server 10 for allowing a user terminal to download an initial screen of a homepage during connection to a website, allowing the user terminal to inquire into and download a corresponding menu screen according to a menu selection of the user in a main homepage via a user login, and recording input contents of the user, a management server 20 for having various database, and storing, renewing and managing a corresponding page screen data according to a personal menu selection of the user in the homepage screen and a member information data inputted by the user, and a person position searching server 200 having a position assigning means 210 for assigning a position on a user page screen during connection to the website, a time selecting means 220 for assigning a time on a user page screen during connection to the website, and a person position searching database 230 for storing the position and time information inputted through the position assigning means 210 and time selecting means 220 and a user discrimination information.

[34] Also, the person position searching system using the internet according to second embodiment of the present invention further includes a specific area service server 300 for managing an assigned position as an identifier of meaning a specific position.

[35] Here, the position assigning means 210 can use a map service sever 30 for storing and providing an electric map data included in the homepage screen when the user terminal 100 is connected to the web server 10.

[36] More concretely, when the user logs on the web screen provided by the web server

10 of the person position searching system using the internet according to the present invention, the electric map is provided to the user through the map service sever 30.

[37] At this time, where the user selects a specific position and inputs a specific time, the

inputted information is stored in the management server 20.

[38] For example, the user can select a final position by placing a dot on the map screen provided by the map service server 30 (for example, Seoul Gangnam Station -> exit one -> before Cambridge Building) or can select the final position through a direct input manner after selection of a specific position (for example, the exit one of the "Gangnam Station" is searched out through the map and then, the "Cambridge Building" is inputted through a keyword. Here, this technique is widely well-known in the art, a further description is omitted here.

[39] Also, when the use selects the "Gangnam Station", a graphical process map such as a three-dimensional image or a VR (Virtual Reality) and so forth can be provided. Moreover, an advertisement screen can be displayed on one side of the page screen, thereby providing an advertising effect.

[40] The position assigning means 210 according to another embodiment of the present invention can assign the position through an address inputted directly by the user.

[41] That is, the user can directly input "Shinsegae department store, 19-3, Banpo-dong,

Seocho-gu, Seoul", which is a real address of a Gangnam branch office of the "Shinsegae department store, thereby assigning the position.

[42] The position assigning means 210 according to further another embodiment of the present invention can assign the position through a name inputted directly by the user.

[43] That is, when the user directly inputs "Shinsegae department store" through a keyword, national branch offices lists of the "Shinsegae department store" can be displayed as a category. In this case, the user selects the Gangnam branch office of the "Shinsegae department store", so that it can assign the position thereof.

[44] Also, the position assigning means 210 according to further another embodiment of the present invention can assign the position through a public transportation or a direct input of the public transportation.

[45] For example, the user can input his position according to an inside and an outside of the vehicles. Also, where the user gets off "Gyodae Station" of No. 3 subway line and then is on his way to NO. 2 subway train for "Jamsil station", since the other party can get off "Samsung station" of NO. 2 subway train, it is necessary to select the minute parts of the public transportation. For another example, in case of an express bus as the public transportation, the user can input and select the position information as the following order: i)selection of a Gangnam express terminal in the electric map -> ii) selection of the Gyeongbu line in a subordinate selection means -> iii)selection of a corresponding bus (for Busan at ten minutes past thirteen on August 23, 2006) -> iv)input of minute observation contents such as a specific action, a seat position, or a specific appearance and so forth.

[46] In the meantime, the user can select the position from a database previously

inputted by patterns except the assigning of the position through the input of the address or name.

[47] For example, in case of an air transportation, the user can select the position from the following classified database: Airport ->Gyunggi-do, Gangwon-do... Jeju-do -> selection of Gyunggi-do ->selection of Gimpo airport among Gyunggi-do airports....

[48] When the user existed in corresponding time and position among many and unspecified persons is searched through the person position searching system according to the present invention, the person position searching server 200 can provide the desired information to the corresponding user.

[49] For example, the user can select a high-classification such as a business area or a residential area and so forth after selection of a nation and then select a middle- classification such as a department store, a nightclub, an apartment and so on. In this case, if the user selects the department among them, he can input, select and save a tasting corner located at the third floor in the corresponding department.

[50] Afterwards, when other users input the corresponding position, it can inform the parties concerned of the facts, thereby finding the corresponding person.

[51] Here, the user terminal may be a personal computer, a portable device such as a mobile phone and so on, or a portable terminal such an a PMP (portable multimedia player) and so forth.

[52] FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram illustrating a person position searching server of a person position searching system using an internet according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[53] As shown in FIG. 2, the person position searching server 200 of the person position searching system using the internet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the position assigning means 210 for assigning the position on the user page screen during connection to the website, the time selecting means 220 for assigning the time on the user page screen during connection to the website, and the person position searching database 230 for storing the position and time information inputted through the position assigning means 210 and time selecting means 220 and the user discrimination information.

[54] Also, the person position searching server 200 of the person position searching system using the internet further includes a matching means 240 for searching the person position searching database 230 based on the assigned time and position, and a result list providing means 250 for providing the results including the user discrimination information searched by the matching means 240 as a list.

[55] Moreover, the person position searching server 200 of the person position searching system using the internet further includes a content input means 260 for recording the position information, an overtime circumstantial information, an observation in-

formation and so on through the user.

[56] More concretely, in the content input means 260, the user can select or directly input the content information through the keyword based on the patterns of the database of providing a hair style, yes or no of make-up, a face type, a height, a figure, a dress, a color and so forth. Here, the user can also, input the circumstantial information or the observation information according to the position and time.

[57] Also, the user can input the final action of the person met at that time or a future action in the content input means 260.

[58] That is, when the user got in an elevator of the Cambridge Building located at exit eight, Gangnam Station at 5 p.m. of August 23, 2006, the user can input the last action that "since the elevator of this building was crowded, the user got out of twenty floors while the other party got off eight floors".

[59] In the meantime, the person position searching server 200 of the person position searching system using the internet can further include an ideal type person setting portion 270 and the personal ideal type information can be stored in the person position searching database 230.

[60] As shown in FIG. 4, the user can select or directly input a sex distinction, a height, a weight, a figure, a style, a hair style, a dress, a school career and so forth, thereby setting up the patterns on the ideal type person.

[61] Also, the user puts his bulletin contents in the web server that I have engagements in religion parts of Kyobo book center at 3 p.m. of August 23, 2006 and want to meet my ideal type person, so that a community can be constituted.

[62] Here, the user can set up future meeting position and time in addition to the past meeting position and time. Also, the setting information can be stored in the person position searching database 230 and the user can search the setting information stored in the person position searching database 230 according to the user discrimination information, position or time.

[63] Moreover, the past meeting time or future meeting time can be selected through the time selecting means 220.

[64] The position assigning means 210 for assigning the position on the user page screen during connection to the website can use a map service sever 30 for storing and providing an electric map data included in the homepage screen when the user terminal 100 is connected to the web server 10.

[65] More concretely, generally, we come across a person after his heart at an unexpected place. In this case, it is no good at remembering the minute position about those days or has a dim recollection of only an approximate direction. For example, although he remembers an approximate position such as "neighboring of "Bangbang crossroads filling station", it is very difficult to directly remember and input the

concrete geographical features through the keyword. Accordingly, it is necessary to most rapidly select the corresponding position through the electric map.

[66] That is, though the electric map has a limit in terms of a reduced scale thereof, since the final geographical features can be inputted through the minute keyword, it is most efficient to select the corresponding place through the electric map.

[67] Here, the data information is registered through the position assigning means 210, the time selecting means 220, and the content input means 260.

[68] The result list providing means 250 serves to provide the registered results as a list.

Accordingly, the user can clearly check out the stored data and other users can easily find the desired information through the result list.

[69] The matching means 240 servers to match the information between users in a case that the corresponded information among the data stored in the person position searching server 200 is generated.

[70] For example, when the user registers any data information that he met a woman of long straight hair wearing a red knitwear blouse and blue jeans in religion parts of Kyobo book center at 2 p.m. of August 23, 2006 and want to meet my ideal type person, the woman is connected to the corresponding homepage to check out it, thereby establishing the matching between them through the matching means 240.

[71] An informing means sends the matching information to the related users through an

E-mail, a messaging service or a cellular phone and so forth. Here, these informing means are well-known in the art.

[72] In the meantime, if specific places for managing the position of the user is called as

"meeting zone", when the user has access to the meeting zone, a membership ID, a name of the meeting zone and a read time can be automatically registered through a card reader of the user's membership card. For another example, if the user has access to the meeting zone, it can automatically register the time and place through the following automatic time and position input portions 330 and 340 instead of the position assigning means 210 and the time selecting means 220, thereby offering the users convenience.

[73] FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a specific area service server of a person position searching system using an internet according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[74] As shown in FIG. 3, the specific area service server 300 according to the present invention includes a card reading portion 310 for reading a membership card of a user, a membership ID extracting portion 320 for extracting a membership ID read through the card reading portion 310, an automatic time input portion 330 for automatically inputting a time read by the card reading portion 310, an automatic position input portion 340 for automatically inputting a position read by the card reading portion 310,

and a position controlling portion 350 for controlling each portion overall electrically connected to them.

[75] Here, the membership ID extracting portion 320 is actually identical with the user discrimination information.

[76] For example, when the user has access to the meeting zone, he present his membership card and settles accounts through the card reading portion, the membership ID, the name of the meeting zone and the read time can be automatically registered, thereby checking out it and inputting the desired contents.

[77] Here, instead of the card reader (card reading portion 310), an apparatus using a

RFID (radio frequency identification) or a bluetooth can be used so as to extract the user discrimination information. These techniques are widely known.

[78] Accordingly, where the internet user checks out the position of the interested person in the electric map, the related information on the interested person can be registered and the name and E-mail address of the registrant can be stored, so that the corresponding person searches and inspects the registered information, thereby getting even meeting.

[79] While this invention has been described in connection with what are presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments and the drawings, but, on the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and variations within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
