As shown in FIG. 2, in order to receive a plurality of services including post management through a network, a user runs a program (eg, a web browser) for connecting to the Internet on the terminal 300. , Inputting a URL for accessing the post generation and transmission system 100, the URL information is converted and packetized by HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) in a web browser, and then the post generation and transmission system via the Internet ( 100).

Accordingly, the interface server 50 of the post generation and transmission system 100 transmits a web page corresponding to the URL information to the user terminal 300, and the transmitted web page is converted into a window state on a web browser and displayed. . Therefore, the user checks various information provided by the post generation and transmission system 100 through the web page displayed on the screen of the terminal 300 (S100).

Thereafter, when the user requests membership, the user registration unit 21 of the processing server 20 provides a member registration screen to the user terminal 300 (S110 to S120), whereby the user provides a plurality of pieces of information for membership. If inputted, the user is given an ID, and a plurality of user information is associated with this ID and stored in the user database 11 to terminate member registration. After the member registration, the user logs in to the system using the registered user ID and password (S130 to S140).

When member registration and system login are made, the community manager 22 gives a community account to the user. The user's selection or automatically generates a community ID (blog ID, etc.) and stores the information about it in the community database 12 (S150).

In this way, in order to register a post on a predetermined bulletin board, particularly a bulletin board of a predetermined community, a user who is registered as a member in the system and receives a community, selects a predetermined category among a plurality of bulletin board categories, and connects to a predetermined bulletin board belonging to the selected category. The post is registered (S160 to S180). Here, the category indicates which theme the bulletin board has.

When the user requests registration while providing a post, the post registration unit 231 of the bulletin board management unit 23 gives an ID to the provided post and stores the corresponding bulletin ID in the post database 14 (S180 to S200). The address generator 232 generates an address of a web page where a post is to be posted (S210).

3 illustrates an example of a process of generating a post address according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The address generator 232 finds the community ID of the user based on the member registration and / or the logged-in user's ID, and generates the post address by finding the category ID, the bulletin board ID, and the post ID of the bulletin board, respectively. .

In the above example, A is a community ID, B is a category ID, that is, an ID indicating what theme the post has, C is a bulletin board ID, and D is a post ID. In the above example, B, C, and D are made of numbers. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be made of letters, symbols, and the like to know the corresponding category, bulletin board, and post characteristics. The post URL, that is, the post address alone, can be used to determine whether the post was posted on a bulletin board corresponding to a theme of a community of a user. In addition, it is easy to know the storage route of the post.

The post is posted on the web page corresponding to the post address generated in this way (S220), and the post address is stored with the post in correspondence with the post ID in the post database 14.

Next, a process of transmitting the post address generated in this way will be described.

The post distribution process according to the embodiment of the present invention is sequentially shown in FIG. 4, and the post registered in the bulletin board is illustrated in FIG. 5.

When a user registers a post as described above in a predetermined bulletin board, it is posted on the bulletin board as shown in FIG. 5 (S300). When the user who registered the post or another user selects a menu such as "send post" after checking the post, the receiver setting unit 241 of the post distributor 24 selects the post address of the post as illustrated in FIG. While displaying, it is inquired to which object to transmit (S310). In the present embodiment, "e-mail" for distributing a postal address to an e-mail address or a messenger address specified by a user, and "toy notification" for distributing to an e-mail address of another user who has a relationship formed according to a predetermined service provided by the system. , But provides a recipient setting item such as "copy address" to copy and distribute the post address to the user's terminal, but is not limited thereto. 6A to 6C illustrate examples of receiver selection for each receiver setup item.

When the user selects a condition such as gender, age, community classification through the condition selection, the receiver setting unit 241 extracts users who satisfy the set condition from the user database 11 and finds out their messenger address.

In addition, when the user selects a separate ID input, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, a user input field provides a text input field for inputting a separate ID, and inputs a messenger address of a user having an ID input through the text input field to the user database 11. ) (S380 to S400).

In addition, when the user selects users who have formed a relationship in a predetermined service provided by the system, such as stars or friends connected to the user, the user who has formed a relationship such as a star or a friend in the service subscribed to by the user from the community database 12 The ID is extracted and the messenger address of the user having the corresponding IDs is found from the user database 11 based on the extracted ID (S410 to S430).

When the recipient setting step as described above is performed, the receiver setting unit 241 provides the obtained e-mail address or messenger address to the information delivery unit 242, and the information delivery unit 242 provides such a mail address (or messenger). The post request is transmitted to the mail server 30 (or the messenger server 40) together with the address (S440).

The mail server 30 transmits the post address to the e-mail address delivered from the post distribution unit 24. In addition, the messenger server 40 transmits a post address to messenger addresses of users currently connected to the system (S450). In FIG. 7, the mail format received by the receiver is illustrated.

The post address transmitted in this way contains the link information. Therefore, the recipients who receive the post address can selectively check the post by clicking on the post address and accessing the web page where the post is posted.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 6c in step S310, when the user selects the "address copy" item, the information delivery unit 242 copies the post address of the post to the user's terminal 300 (S460) S470). For example, save it to the clipboard.
