FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of the network service providing system of the present invention.

In the present invention, network service refers to a service provided by constructing a network environment from an access point (AP) to each terminal using radio waves without using wired cables.

Here, the provided service includes not only the network environment formed by the terminal accessing the access point, but also includes the user etc. obtaining the required network or network service through the above network environment.

It is generally referred to as wireless network service, but will be collectively referred to as network service in the present invention.

Network services can make up for the loopholes of existing communication technologies in building networks.

For example, although a wired network has high performance in terms of communication speed, it has poor mobility because of the need for physical network wiring (LAN Cabling). Very effective, but poor in terms of mobility or coverage.

In addition, although the "smart router" used in the present invention is similar to the existing wireless network access point (WLAN Access Point, hereinafter referred to as "wireless network AP"), in the present invention, it is defined as having 110 access or service invitation, the function of first outputting the dedicated site of the business site to the user terminal 110, or a wireless network AP with additional functions such as providing network services through interaction with the management server.

In addition, the user terminal can be connected to the site dedicated to the business site even if it is not connected to the network by storing information on the site dedicated to the business site itself when necessary.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the network service providing system of the present invention includes: a user terminal 110 located at each business site 150 , an intelligent router 120 installed at each business site, and a management server 140 connected to the above-mentioned intelligent router 120 through a network 130 .

In the present invention, if the customer enters the business site 150 with the user terminal 110 and wirelessly communicates through the smart router 120 installed in the business site, the smart router 120 first transfers the business site-specific site information saved by itself or through the network The business site-specific site information of the connected arbitrary site is provided to the user terminal 110, so that the customer can use the service provided by the business site.

Specifically, the user terminal 110 refers to a mobile terminal that can be connected to a network through wireless communication, is portable, and implements various applications using application programs.

For example, portable computers such as laptops (Lap Top) or notebooks, mobile phones (MobilePhone), portable information terminals (Personal Digital Assistants: PDA), Wibro mobile phones, and mobile communication terminals such as smart phones (Smart Phone).

When a user enters any workplace 150 and can use the user terminal 110 to perform wireless communication through the smart router 120 , if the user terminal 110 chooses to communicate with the smart router 120 or select automatically, it will send an access invitation to the smart router 120 .

The smart routers 120 and 121 first provide the initial page information on the business site-specific site when there is an access invitation from the user terminal 110, and connect to the business site-specific site when there is a connection invitation. Here, the establishment-specific site may be provided by the smart router 120, 121 or a specific site on the network. And preferably, it can be stored in the smart router 120, 121 itself.

In addition, the smart routers 120 and 121 can be connected to the management server 140 through the network 130 to invite and obtain multimedia content related to the dedicated site of the business site.

After the smart routers 120 and 121 provide the user terminal 110 with a business-specific site as an initial page, if there is an invitation from the user to connect to any site, the user terminal will be connected to the site using the corresponding IP address.

The management server 140 is connected to the smart routers 120 and 121 via a network, and manages the smart routers installed in each business site.

For example, the management server 140 controls the status information of the smart routers 120 and 121 at each business site, and provides multimedia contents invited by the smart routers 120 and 121 .

For this purpose, the management server 140 can save initial page information of each smart router 120, 121 installed in each business place, business site-specific information of each smart router 120, 121, status information of the smart router 120, 121, and the like.

Next, each structure will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 .

FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of the network service providing system of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the smart router 120 installed in each business place can construct a network environment with at least one or more user terminals 110 entering the business place.

Here, the network environment refers to at least one user terminal 110 located in the workplace connected to the smart router 120 through wireless communication, so as to connect to the services provided by the smart router 120, or use the network connected to the smart router 120 to access any site .

The smart router 120 installed at each business site outputs the site dedicated to the business site as the initial page of the user terminal 110 when the user terminal 110 enters the area of the wireless communication 10 at the business site and invites access.

Specifically, the smart router 120 includes an initial page information providing unit 122 , a business site dedicated site connection unit 123 , and a business site dedicated site storage unit 124 .

However, if the business site dedicated site is not stored by itself but is provided from an arbitrary site using the network, the business site dedicated site storage unit 124 does not need to be provided.

The intelligent router 120 includes the above-mentioned structure of the present invention and all functions of routers in the prior art. However, descriptions of existing disclosed routers will be omitted in the present invention.

In the smart router 120 , the initial page information providing unit 122 first provides initial page information on a site dedicated to a specific business site in response to an access invitation from the user terminal 110 .

Here, the access invitation of the user terminal 110 is generated when the user enters a workplace and performs wireless communication using the user terminal 110 .

Upon receiving an access invitation from the user terminal 110 , the smart router 120 provides the user terminal 110 with initial page information on a business site dedicated site stored by itself or a business site dedicated site provided by a specific site through the network.

The initial page information provided here is the URL information required for the user terminal 110 to access the site dedicated to the business site provided by the smart router 120 itself or the URL information of a specific site storing the site dedicated to the business site information.

The user terminal 110 uses the initial page information provided by the smart router 120 to invite a connection to the business site dedicated site.

The business site dedicated site connection unit 123 connects the user terminal 110 to the business site dedicated site stored in the business site dedicated site storage unit 124 or saves the business site dedicated site information when the user terminal invites a specific business site dedicated site connection based on the initial page information. specific site.

That is, when the user terminal 110 intends to use the network service through the wireless communication provided by the smart router 120, an access invitation is issued when trying to access the wireless communication, and first connects to the site dedicated to the business site corresponding to the transmitted initial page information.

Therefore, the user can first use the services provided by the business site to obtain various services, and after accessing the site dedicated to the business site for the first time, when accessing any other site through the network 130 connected to the smart router 120, the user can use all the services provided. An IP address is required to access the corresponding site.

The smart router 120 may itself store business site-specific site information to be provided as an initial page of the user terminal 110 . In this case, the smart router 120 may include a business site dedicated site storage unit 124 .

The workplace dedicated site storage unit 124 stores business workplace dedicated site information including service content provided by each business workplace.

The intelligent router 120 does not access the dedicated site of the business site through a separate server connected to the network 130, but stores the dedicated site information of the business site itself, so that it is not affected by whether the network 130 is connected or not. When there is an invitation from the user terminal 110, Dedicated sites for business sites are always available.

However, if the smart router 120 provides a business site dedicated site provided by a specific site as an initial page, it is not necessary to provide a separate business site dedicated site storage unit 124 .

In addition, the smart router 120 may include a separate input/output unit (not shown).

The input/output unit inputs/outputs necessary information to the smart router 120, and in the present invention, inputs/outputs initial page information and site information dedicated to business sites.

The management server 140 connected to the smart router 120 via the network 130 manages the smart router 120 installed in each business site and provides multimedia content invited through the smart router 120 .

Specifically, the management server 140 controls the state information of the smart router 120 of each business site connected via the network.

For example, back up the initial page information provided by at least one or more intelligent routers 120, compare the backed up initial page information with the initial page information stored in the intelligent router 120, and when there is a difference in the comparison results, synchronize to the last updated initial page information .

In addition, if the smart router 120 is equipped with a business site dedicated site storage unit 124 to store the business site dedicated site itself, the management server 140 backs up the specific business site dedicated site information stored by at least one or more smart routers 120, and compares the backed up specific business site information. If there is a discrepancy between the dedicated site information and the specific site specific site information stored in the smart router 120 , they are synchronized to the last updated specific site specific site information.

The smart router 120 not only stores the initial page information and site information dedicated to the business site itself, but also includes an input/output unit capable of changing the above information.

Therefore, there may be differences between the initial page information and workplace-specific site information backed up in the management server 140 and the initial page information and business-site dedicated site information stored in the smart router 120 .

At this time, the management server 140 may update relevant information according to the time when the smart router 120 is connected/disconnected, a certain period or in real time.

In addition, when there is an invitation from the intelligent router 120 to provide multimedia content, the management server 140 confirms the access information of the user terminal 110 sending the invitation and only provides the above multimedia content to permitted users.

The management server 140 includes a content storage unit 142, an initial page information storage unit 143, a business site-specific site storage unit 144, and a state information storage unit 145, so that the control unit 141 provides multimedia content or manages initial page information, business site-specific site information and Status information of the intelligent router 120 .

Here, the content storage unit 142 stores various multimedia contents so as to provide services to the site dedicated to business sites for each business site. Therefore, if a user utilizes a workplace-specific site through the user terminal 110 and invites desired content, the management server 140 provides the desired content through the smart router 120 .

The initial page information storage unit 143 stores the initial page information of the smart router installed in each business site.

The initial page information may include URL information corresponding to a business site dedicated site stored in the smart router 120 of each business site.

The workplace dedicated site storage unit 144 stores business workplace dedicated site information for each business workplace.

In addition, the status information storage unit 145 stores status information of each smart router.

Therefore, the management server 140 remotely confirms the status of the smart router and determines whether the firmware is up-to-date through a network connection with the smart router 120 , so as to update the firmware or control and manage the smart router 120 through environment settings and restarts.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a method for providing network services in the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3 , when the smart router 120 itself saves the dedicated site for the business site where it is located, it sets the initial page information of the user terminal to access the dedicated site for the business site saved by itself (S310), and provides In the case of a business site dedicated site, URL information and the like related to a specific site storing business site dedicated site information are set as initial page information ( S310 ).

At this time, the process of setting up the site dedicated to the business site can be set not only directly by the input/output unit of the smart router 120 but also by the management server 140 .

When different smart routers 120 set up business-specific sites, if the user terminal 110 enters the business site and invites network access (S320), the smart router 120 first provides the user terminal with initial page information related to the business-specific site (S330) .

However, if necessary, the user authentication process can be completed according to the access invitation of the user terminal. Through the above process, network services are provided only for user terminals that have passed user authentication.

If a network connection is established between the smart router 120 and the user terminal, the user terminal can communicate with the network 130 through the smart router 120 .

If the user terminal invites a special site for a specific business site to connect to according to the initial page information, the intelligent router 120 will connect the special site corresponding to the initial page information stored in the intelligent router 120 to the user terminal, or connect the user terminal to the A specific site that stores site-specific information for a business site ( S340 ).

If the business site-specific site information is provided to the user terminal according to the user terminal's access invitation, the user terminal will first output the business site-specific site as an initial screen ( S350 ).

Here, the site dedicated to the business site provided by the smart router 120 may be a rotating web page and an e-commerce site of the business site where the smart router is located.

In addition, if the smart router 120 itself saves the dedicated site for the business site where it is located, when the user terminal 110 accesses it, the smart router 120 can use the dedicated site for the business site saved by itself as the user terminal 110 regardless of whether the network is connected or not. The initial page of the terminal is provided.

In addition, the user terminal 110 can receive the multimedia content related to the business site dedicated site from the management server 140 through the network 130 connected to the management server 140 and output it through the browser.

At this time, the management server 140 can use the intelligent router 120 as a connection point to receive the multimedia content invitation information from the user terminal 110, and compare the received multimedia content invitation signal with the stored service network access information (for example, user ID and password), and confirm Whether it is a legitimate user.

Afterwards, if the authentication result is failure, the management server 140 sends an authentication failure signal to the intelligent router 120, and the intelligent router 120 receiving the authentication failure signal sends an access rejection signal to the user terminal 110 to notify the authentication failure.

In addition, if the authentication result is successful, the management server 140 sends an authentication success signal to the smart router 120 , and the smart router 120 receiving the authentication success signal sends an access permission signal to the user terminal 110 .

Afterwards, the user terminal 110 outputs the multimedia content provided by the management server 140 through the web browser.

After the user opens the web browser, the user terminal 110 may invite access to any site through the smart router 120 according to the user's invitation (S360).

The user can invite access by inputting URL information of any site into the user terminal 110 .

When receiving the URL information of an arbitrary site from the user terminal 110 and an access invitation to an arbitrary site, the smart router 120 changes the URL information of the site-specific URL information to the URL information of an arbitrary site and connects through the network 130, allowing the user terminal 110 to Connect to any site (S370).
