Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a server 10 and a user terminal 20 are connected by a communication line, and registration (FIG. 1), authentication (FIG. 2), real-time information sharing (FIG. 3),
In addition, each function of real-time information transmission (FIG. 4) is achieved. The server 10 is, for example, on the Internet.

(Registration work) The user has previously registered in the server 10
For registration with the user, the personal information of the user is provided to the server 10 by the input means 21 of the terminal 20.

At this time, the server 20 stores the provided personal information in the database 11 and issues a password.

[0011] Further, in order to construct a system for transmitting information in accordance with the user's preference in real time during registration,
A hobby (preference) is included in the personal information provided by the user.
Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the server 10 accumulates the hobby information 13 provided for each of the user names A, B,... In the personal information database 11 corresponding to the user name list 12. Further, the server 10 classifies the information 14 to be transmitted corresponding to each hobby information 13 and stores the classified information 14 in the classification-specific information database 15.

(Authentication Work) When using the server 10, the user sends the password acquired at the time of registration to the server 10 by the input means 21 of the terminal 20 for authentication as shown in FIG.

The server 10 determines whether or not the user has been registered based on the transmitted password. If the user has been registered (OK), the information acquisition / transmission / sharing system 22 of the terminal 20 transmits the information to the Web system. Display a page that contains a program that can run on the content.

(Real-time information sharing between users) After authentication, as shown in FIG.
Information can be transmitted from 0. When the information is transmitted, the transmitted information is transferred from the terminal 20 to the server 10 by the program.

The server 10 transfers the received information to the currently logged-in users B, C,. Thereby, real-time information sharing between users is achieved. In FIG. 3, a TCP / IP network is used for information transfer as an example.

(Real-Time Information Transmission for Each User's Preference) When transmitting information in real time for each user's preference, as shown in FIG. The hobby information 13 is acquired with reference to the user name list 12, and then the hobby information 1 of each user is obtained.
Classified database 1 with information sources stored with reference to 3
From 5, the information corresponding to each user's preference is acquired. Then, the server 10 transmits the corresponding information to the terminal 20 of each user substantially simultaneously. As a result, real-time information transmission for each user preference is achieved.

In FIG. 4, information b that matches the preference is transmitted to user A, and information a that matches the preference is transmitted to user B.

(Specific Example) Next, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a real-time chat system (enjoying a conversation with another person using a network by text) operating on a Web browser, and user preferences The following describes a real-time advertisement providing system that is suitable for.

(Real-time chat) server 10
After authentication, displays a page including a real-time chat application on a Web browser of a user terminal as a program operable on Web content.

As described above, since the chat application is automatically provided from the server 10 to the user terminal 20, the user does not need to be aware of the download of the application, and can perform installation work, platform dependence and network speed, Irrespective of these, you can enjoy chat (real-time chat) at the same time as you type sentences.

That is, the conventional chat system operating on the Internet involves a user's intentional downloading or installation of necessary software, and real-time chat cannot be realized. In addition, it depends on the platform used by the user and is affected by the speed of the network. Specifically, existing chat systems using the Internet are roughly classified into the following two types, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. (1) The first chat system is realized using a dedicated application. While this allows you to enjoy conversations with others in real time, you need to install applications to use this system. Also, the application needs to be compatible with the platform used by the user. (2) The second chat system is realized by CGI (Common Gateway Interface) on a homepage. In this case, in order to read a new message, it is necessary to reload the homepage once, which lacks real-time properties. In addition, since the user needs to repeatedly send a message and reload the page, the user is easily affected by the speed of the network.

On the other hand, the chat system of this embodiment
A user can enjoy a real-time conversation only by accessing a specified homepage with a Web browser. Therefore, there is no need for the user to be aware of the download, and no installation work is required. In addition, the platform does not matter.
