Description
PERSONAL MEDIA CONTENTS FURNISHING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CERTIFICATED E-MAIL VIA CHANNEL
Technical Field The present invention relates to a method and system for providing authenticated personal media contents to each channel, and more particularly, to a method and system for providing personal media contents that can block spam personal media contents from a source by providing a receiving user terminal with personal media contents of a sending user via a channel being directly established by a receiving user receiving the personal media contents.
Background Art
Currently, various services for personal media contents are provided with the popularization of the Internet. For a general service of personal media contents, a server for personal media contents receives personal media contents and an address of the personal media contents of a receiving user, and stores the personal media contents in a predetermined area of a storage medium which is distinguished by the address of the personal media contents. In this instance, when the receiving user connects to the personal media contents server, the personal media contents server provides the receiving user with the personal media contents. However, whether personal media contents stored in a storage medium, allocated to each person, are spam contents may not be verified. Currently, a technique that can verify spam personal media contents by recognizing character strings included in a title or text of the personal media contents is introduced. However, such a technique has not been able to filter spam personal media contents from a source.
When personal media contents are spam personal media contents, the receiving user is required to delete the spam personal media contents after identifying by opening the personal media contents one by one, or is required to establish a block for the spam personal media contents. In a conventional service for personal media contents, more spam personal media contents are received in comparison to normal personal media contents, and a user is not satisfied with a presently used account since a number of the spam personal media contents is large. Accordingly, the user should delete the
presently used account or generate a new account. In this instance, it is inconvenient that the user should spend an undesirable amount of time to delete or generate the corresponding account, and inform an address of personal media contents of a newly generated account to other users. Conventionally, various services for providing information are popularized.
As an example of the various services for providing information, there is a service for providing online information that continuously provides online information in limited to a selected interesting field via a specific channel. For the service of providing online information, a user downloads an application provided via a server of an online provider and establishes the downloaded application in advance, then operates the application to select a required category to read the online information. As an example, a user may select categories such as news, hobby, and wedding, and continuously receive online information corresponding to those categories, received from a predetermined contents server in the server for providing online information. For this, the server for providing online information frequently receives various online information from a contents server, and stores the received online information according to each category. Each category may be understood as a channel to distinguish the various information, and the online information may be continuously provided to a user's client terminal via a selected channel only. That is, by using the above described service for providing online information, a user receives online information via a different channel for each category selected by the user, a problem that online information is received from an unauthenticated sender or an undesired category can be solved.
A new configuration that can solve the above described problem existing in a conventional personal media contents by modifying the service for providing online information is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system 130 for providing personal media content according to the present invention provides a second client terminal 130 with personal media contents being registered by a first client terminal 110. In this instance, the system 130 for providing personal media contents may provide the personal media contents via a channel which is established in advance to continuously receive information in the second client terminal 120. By using the system 130 for providing personal media contents according to the present invention, a source of spam personal media contents from a user not registered in a channel may be blocked.
More specifically, the system 130 for providing personal media contents stores online information about categories which are different according to each channel. The online information may be divided into different categories such as news, economy, society, politics, culture, entertainment, and hobby, and may be frequently updated from a predetermined contents server. Also, the system 130 for providing personal media contents reads the online information stored in the category being established in advance by the user and continually provides the read online information to the user's terminal. The system 130 for providing personal media contents further includes categories of a service for personal media contents as well as the aforementioned categories. Specifically, the system 130 for providing personal media contents receives various online information from a predetermined contents server, stores personal media contents received from the second user in the category of the personal media contents service in correspondence to a configuration that continually provides a corresponding category to a selected user, and provides the first user who has selected the category of the personal media contents service with the stored personal contents. For this, the system 130 for providing personal media contents maintains a database that stores personal information about a user which is distinguished by a channel, and verifies a corresponding channel using the received channel information when channel information and the personal media contents are received from the first client terminal 110. When the first client terminal 110 has transmitted the personal media contents to
transmit to a channel 1, the system 130 for providing personal media contents reads a second user's personal information corresponding to the channel 1, by referring to the database. When the channel 1 is stored in relation to the second user's personal information in the database, the second user connects to the system 130 for providing personal media contents in advance, and exclusively receives the personal media contents stored in the channel 1. Hereinafter, a method for providing personal media contents will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 through 6.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing personal media contents according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, in operation 201, a system for providing personal media contents according to the present invention maintains a database that stores personal information about a receiving user (hereinafter "second user"). The database will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a database according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, a database 300 stores personal information 'AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC, and 'DDD' in relation to a channel 1. As an example, the personal information corresponds to member identifications (ID) being established by users when the users join the system for providing personal media contents, and the channel information corresponds to channels that have accepted to receive the personal media contents by the users. In this instance, the channel 1 corresponds to a sending user (hereinafter "first user"), for example, a user identified to be 1AAA' may receive personal media contents transmitted from the first user.
Referring back to FIG. 2, in operation 202, the system for providing personal media contents receives channel information and personal media contents from the first user, and identifies a channel included in channel information. Also, the system for providing personal media contents reads personal information corresponding to the identified channel by referring to the database in operation 203. As an example, referring to the database 300 of FIG. 3, when the identified channel corresponds to the channel 1, the system for providing personal media contents may read the personal information 'AAA', 'BBB1, 'CCC, and 'DDD' corresponding to the channel 1.
In operation 204, the system for providing personal media contents may
provide a client application to be installed in the second client terminal with the personal media contents using the read personal information. As an example, referring to the database 300 of FIG. 3, the system for providing personal media contents may provide the personal media contents to users via the channel 1, according to the read personal information 'AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC. In this instance, the provided personal media contents may be provided to the users during a predetermined time, and when the predetermined time passes, the personal media contents may be deleted.
The system for providing personal media contents may receive personal information about the first user in advance from the second user, and register the first user as an authenticated user, allowed to send personal media contents, in the database 300. That is, the second user may receive personal media contents via a corresponding channel, the personal media contents being sent from the first user allowed to send personal media contents, which will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a database 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The first personal information is personal information about a receiving user receiving personal media contents, and the second personal information is personal information about a sending user, allowed to transmit personal media contents to the receiving user. In this instance, whether to transmit the personal media contents may be determined by agreement between the receiving user and the sending user. Referring to a reference numeral 401 of FIG. 4, a receiving user 1AAA' is allowed to receive personal media contents from three sending users 'FFF', 'GGG', and 'HHH', via a channel 1. That is, the sending users, distinguished to be second personal information, may store the personal media contents in the channel 1 , and receiving users, distinguished to be first personal information, may receive and read the personal media information stored in the channel 1 , similar to the continuously provided online information.
The system for providing personal media content according to the present invention may newly register a new receiving user that has registered in a corresponding channel. For this, the system for providing personal media content receives personal information about a receiving user and channel information from a sending client
terminal, and requests a receiver client terminal to register a service in the receiver client terminal using the personal information about the receiving user. When it is verified that the service is registered in the receiver client terminal, the personal information about the receiver is newly registered in a database in correspondence to the corresponding channel. That is, when personal media contents for the corresponding channel is registered, the registered personal media contents may be provided to the newly registered receiving user.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the personal media contents registered in the corresponding channel includes time period information. The system for providing personal media contents verifies whether a present date corresponds to the time period information, and provides the receiver client terminal with the personal media contents when the present date corresponds to the time period information, and deletes the personal media contents when the present date does not correspond to the time period information. The time period information may be used for penalization. Specifically, the system for providing personal media contents may calculate a cost based on at least one of an amount of the personal media contents provided to the client application, a number of times the providing is performed, and a period of time of the providing, and may penalize the calculated cost.
