Abstract

A knowledge information service method using wired/wireless communication networks is provided to increase the satisfaction of customers by obtaining requested information from an internal DB and an external Internet-linked DB and providing it through the wireless Internet in case a client photographs an object and makes a request to acquire information about the object through the wireless Internet. A knowledge information providing server, if knowledge information is requested from a mobile station, searches a knowledge information DB and an image information DB and judges whether the knowledge information matched with the requested knowledge information exists(S200-S204). If so, the knowledge information providing server extracts the matched knowledge information from the knowledge information DB and image information DB, and then transmits the extracted information to the mobile station(S206). However, in case the matched knowledge information doesn't exists, the knowledge information providing server requests an external interworking server to search for the requested knowledge information(S208). The external interworking server searches its own internal DB(S210). If the knowledge information matched with the requested knowledge information exists, the external interworking server transmits the matched knowledge information to the knowledge information providing server through the Internet(S212).
