Description

Method of providing a semi-open personal record creation and viewing platform with interactive features via virtual visits

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for providing a semi-open personal record creation and viewing platform that allows a user to create personal records through a user terminal owned by the user and to indirectly share the created personal records through a virtual visit.

[0002] In recent years, social network services (SNS) have been actively used worldwide. The various platforms currently in service provide a space for users to share their daily lives, thoughts, and diverse content, thereby facilitating communication and information exchange among people.

[0003] The rise of these social network services has brought about significant changes in the way people communicate, and their usage is increasing even further, particularly with the proliferation of mobile devices.

[0004] However, current social network services adopt a method of publishing posts through centralized servers. Specifically, current social network services operate by collecting users' works or posts on a server and then publishing them to the feed viewed by users.

[0005] And this is a method widely used in various social network services currently in operation, as well as in news sites and review systems of online stores.

[0006] The centralized disclosure methods of such current systems have the disadvantage of restricting users from writing personal and private posts. For example, in currently available social network services, users face the inconvenience of having to additionally set a private option when posting if they do not want their writing to be exposed to others.

[0007] Due to these inconveniences, some users often leave existing platforms to write personal diaries or similar documents, using word processing programs or note applications that are isolated from external traffic and stored only on their own devices. In addition, in such cases, there tends to be fewer opportunities for interaction features or means for users to express their individuality.

[0008] Therefore, a method to resolve these problems is required.

[0009] The present invention is devised to solve the problems of the aforementioned prior art, and aims to provide a platform that applies an indirect sharing method using a virtual visit method, wherein personal records are stored and managed in the database of a platform providing server through communication between a user terminal and a platform providing server, while preventing the created personal records from being directly disclosed to common sections, etc.

[0010] The problems of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0011] A method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function via virtual visit according to the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned purpose comprises: (a) a step in which a communication unit of a platform providing server receives a service request signal related to a user's personal record or another user's personal record transmitted from a user terminal owned by the user; (b) a step in which a computational processing unit of the platform providing server identifies the request details of the service request signal; (c) a step in which a computational processing unit of the platform providing server processes service data corresponding to the request details of the service request signal identified in step (b); and (d) a step in which a communication unit of the platform providing server transmits the result of the computational processing in step (c) to the user terminal so that it is displayed.

[0012] At this time, the above service request signal may be in the form of a request detail including any one of the following: a record-related request signal requesting processing related to personal records, a virtual visit request signal requesting a visit to a record collection repository for viewing records of other users, or an interaction-related request signal requesting exchange / interaction related to the user or the collection repository.

[0013] And if the service request signal identified by the processing unit in step (b) above is a record-related request signal related to the creation, modification, or management of a personal record, step (c) above may include a step (c1-1) in which the processing unit retrieves necessary elements for the creation, modification, or management of a personal record from a database connected to the platform providing server or searches using the unique identification number of the personal record and the user information ID; a step (c1-2) in which the details processed by the user terminal are stored in the database; and a step (c1-3) in which the results of the creation, modification, or management of the personal record are displayed on the user terminal.

[0014] In addition, if the service request signal identified by the processing unit in step (b) above is the virtual visit request signal, step (c) above may include a step (c2-1) in which the processing unit determines an permission relationship between the personal records of another user that are the target of the virtual visit request signal and the corresponding user terminal, and a step (c2-2) in which the processing unit loads a visit-only user interface that can access and interact with the collection of records of another user that is the target of the virtual visit request signal from a database connected to the platform providing server.

[0015] At this time, the above step (c2-2) can exclude personal records of other users who are not allowed access to the corresponding user terminal as a result of the judgment in the above step (c2-1) so that they are not exposed in the visit-only user interface.

[0016] And, if the service request signal identified by the processing unit in step (b) above is an interaction-related request signal, the processing unit may include a step (c3-1) in which the processing unit determines the type and details of the interaction appearing in the interaction-related request signal, a step (c3-2) in which the processing unit processes the details based on the determination result of step (c3-1) and stores the processing details in a database connected to the platform providing server, and a step (c3-3) in which the processing unit transmits the processing result to the user terminal so that it is rendered.

[0017] The method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function via virtual visitation according to the present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problem, has the advantage of effectively protecting privacy by excluding a method in which personal records created by a user are automatically disclosed through a centralized server and by allowing the user to selectively disclose their records to other users through a virtual visitation method.

[0018] In addition, the present invention allows a user to personalize and configure a repository of records containing their personal records, and to receive various metadata and layouts in response to a virtual visit request. Furthermore, this has the advantage of providing a customized experience to the user, thereby increasing service satisfaction.

[0019] In particular, the present invention has the advantage of enabling requests, viewing, relationship formation, related data, expansion and processing of related relational data between individuals / records, and tracking data, which are structurally difficult to obtain within the existing collective exposure method service form, through a personalized permission system and a virtual visit structure.

[0020] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned effects will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description in the claims.

[0045] Hereinafter, specific technical details to be implemented in the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0046] The method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function based on virtual visits according to the present invention is performed through a platform providing server that provides a program for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function based on virtual visits stored on a storage medium, and can be driven by a processor of the platform providing server.

[0047] In addition, a program for providing a semi-open personal record creation and viewing platform with interactive functions applied via virtual visits can be output through a video output device such as a display module, and can provide visible information through a visualized graphic user interface on a platform providing server, a user terminal owned by the user, etc.

[0048] In particular, a program for providing a semi-open platform for creating and viewing personal records, which incorporates interactive functions through virtual visits, can be installed on a platform providing server, user terminal, etc., using removable disks or communication networks, respectively; it is also possible for a user terminal to use the platform by receiving a response from the server as a client via a format such as the web. Furthermore, the method for providing a semi-open platform for creating and viewing personal records, which incorporates interactive functions through virtual visits, allows the platform providing server, user terminal, etc., to be operated through various functional means.

[0049] In other words, the present invention specifically realizes information processing by software through hardware.

[0050] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function via virtual visitation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0051]

[0052] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing each component that serves as the subject for performing a method of providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] In addition, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the entire process of a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] At this time, an average person skilled in the art of the present invention will easily infer that each component illustrated in FIG. 1 indicates that it may be functionally and logically separated, and does not necessarily mean that each component is separated into a separate physical device or written in a separate code.

[0055] And as illustrated in FIG. 2, a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function by virtual visit according to one embodiment of the present invention may include steps (a) through (d).

[0056] (a) The communication unit (110) of the platform providing server (100) receives a service request signal related to a user's personal records or another user's personal records, which is transmitted from a user terminal (10) owned by the user.

[0057] Here, the platform providing server (100) may include a virtual server using a cloud service, a web / proxy / application server, etc., but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0058] In addition, if additional servers for processing additional requests, such as DNS servers, are required, they may be installed additionally. Also, the number of platform providing servers (100) can be appropriately arranged considering the overall size of the service.

[0059] The user terminal (10) may be in various forms, such as a feature phone, a smartphone, a laptop computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player), a tablet PC, a wearable device, a point of sales device, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0060] And the platform providing server (100) may provide an application installed on the user terminal (10) so that the user can transmit a service request signal through the user terminal (10), or may provide a web / mobile page (hereinafter collectively referred to as an application).

[0061] In addition, the service request signal transmitted by the user terminal (10) may be in the form of a record creation / modification / management request signal, a virtual visit request signal, or an interaction-related request signal, and details regarding this will be described later.

[0062] (b) Step (b) includes the process of the computation processing unit (120) of the platform providing server (100) identifying the request details of the service request signal.

[0063] That is, in this process, the computation processing unit (120) analyzes the received request signal to identify the type and details of the service requested by the user. In this process, the computation processing unit (120) interprets the data packets included in the signal and can identify the details of the requested service.

[0064] (c) Step includes the process of the computation processing unit (120) of the platform providing server (100) processing service data corresponding to the request details of the service request signal identified in step (b).

[0065] In this process, the computation processing unit (120) retrieves necessary data from the database (105) or generates new data and processes it according to the user's request.

[0066] Step (d) includes a process in which the communication unit (110) of the platform providing server (100) transmits the result of the operation processing of Step (c) to the user terminal (10) so that it is displayed.

[0067] In this process, the communication unit (110) transmits the data processed by the computation processing unit (120) to the user terminal (10), and the user can check the data on their terminal.

[0068] That is, the communication unit (110) displays a response according to the protocol defined in the application. At this time, the communication method may be a real-time communication method, but depending on the network status or user options, a method such as storing it in the user terminal (10) and then requesting and synchronizing with the server after a time delay may also be adopted.

[0069] Below, the details of each of these steps will be explained.

[0070] First, the service request signal transmitted from the user terminal (10) in step (a) may be in the form of any one of a record-related request signal, a virtual visit request signal, or an interaction-related request signal.

[0071] A record-related request signal is a request for processing related to personal records, and may be a request related to the creation / modification or management of personal records.

[0072] When creating or modifying personal records, the user terminal (10) may be provided with functions such as text input, image upload, and video insertion in the case of writing, and may be a post in the form preferred by the service or users, such as recordings, video materials, or personal creations.

[0073] When managing personal records, the user terminal (10) may be provided with functions for the user to efficiently manage and view their personal records. For example, functions such as classification, search, sorting, and deletion of records may be included, and through this, the user can easily manage their records and quickly view necessary information.

[0074] A virtual visit request signal is used when a user wishes to access another user's archive of records in order to view another user's personal records. That is, such a virtual visit request signal is a signal requesting access rights to another user's records, and the platform providing server (100) can verify whether the user has appropriate rights and provide the necessary access. This will be described later.

[0075] Interaction-related request signals request exchange, interaction, management, etc., and may include functions for performing interactions related to the relevant user or other users, as well as interactions related to a collection of users' repositories.

[0076] And as described above, in step (b), the computation processing unit (120) analyzes the received service request signal to identify the type and details of the service requested by the user. In addition, depending on the identification result, step (c) can be processed in the following manner.

[0077]

[0078] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the detailed process of step (c1) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] As illustrated in FIG. 3, step (c1) can be performed when the service request signal identified by the operation processing unit (120) in step (b) is a request signal related to a record and is also related to the creation, modification, or management of a personal record, and may include steps (c1-1) through (c1-3) in detail.

[0080] (c1-1) Step is the process in which the computation processing unit (120) retrieves necessary elements for creating, modifying, or managing personal records from a database (105) connected to a platform providing server.

[0081] In this process, if the service request signal is the creation or modification of a personal record, the information essential for creating the personal record is retrieved from the database (105). Additionally, if necessary, the user's personal settings, or temporary writings or necessary files stored in the database (105), can be retrieved together.

[0082] In addition, in this process, if the service request signal is the management of personal records, the processing unit (120) searches the database (105) for the record collection storage assigned to the user. The record collection storage is a collection of all records created by the user, i.e., a repository, and is an area managed and stored on a per-user basis.

[0083] And such matters can be saved in real time if necessary.

[0084] In addition, the process of identifying user authentication data assigned to the user terminal (10) by the computation processing unit (120) may be additionally performed, and such user authentication data is necessary to confirm that the user has the authority to access their account.

[0085] User authentication data may generally be one or more of identification means such as user ID, email, QR code, etc., or personal record ID, or may be used to identify uniqueness through a combination of two or more of these.

[0086] However, this process may be performed before or after other steps in the system operation structure of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the order is not limited.

[0087] In addition, this process may be omitted if unnecessary through various methods, such as periodic / non-periodic polling in the system of the present invention, session connection and verification using access tickets / refresh tickets, or other separately performed authentication / authorization / verification.

[0088]

[0089] And in step (c1-2), a process is performed to store personal records created by the user terminal (10) or processed management matters in the database (105), and in step (c1-3), the result of creating, modifying, or managing personal records is displayed on the user terminal (10).

[0090]

[0091] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the detailed process of step (c3) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] As illustrated in FIG. 4, step (c3) can be performed when the service request signal identified by the operation processing unit (120) in step (b) is a virtual visit request signal, and may include steps (c2-1) and (c2-2) in detail.

[0093] (c2-1) step is a step in which the processing unit (120) determines the permission relationship between the personal records of another user that is the target of the virtual visit request signal and the corresponding user terminal (10).

[0094] In this process, the computation processing unit (120) determines whether the requested virtual visit itself is allowed, or whether it is possible to view other users' personal records during the virtual visit, based on the authentication data assigned to the user terminal (10).

[0095] Permission relationships may vary depending on the access permissions set by the user, which can determine access rights to other users' personal records or visit-only user interfaces.

[0096] (c2-2) step is a step in which the computation processing unit (120) loads a visit-only user interface that can access a collection of records of another user that is the target of a virtual visit request signal from a database (105) connected to the platform providing server (100).

[0097] In this process, the computation processing unit (120) can load a visit-only user interface required to access the record collection storage that is the target of the virtual visit request signal.

[0098] In this case, the visit-only user interface may include functions that allow the user to view other users' archives to retrieve information and engage in mutual exchange and interaction.

[0099] That is, the processing unit (120) selects the data in a series of processes for the application of the user terminal (10) only for data that corresponds to the permissible settings in this process, and then transmits it to the user terminal (10) in step (d), and the user terminal (10) can display another user's personal records or repository data in accordance with the rules of the application and the predefined setting values ​​in the repository of the received data.

[0100] Meanwhile, data regarding permission relationships between any user and other users can be processed as a combination of the system's default settings and values ​​set directly by the user, which can be stored in a database (105) and referenced when a request is processed by the platform providing server (100).

[0101] However, if necessary, the platform providing server (100) or the DB program installed on the platform providing server (100) may be used without going through the database (105), and a system or service capable of acting as the database (105) or the database (105) management system may include a cloud DB, Redis, SQL / NoSQL, etc.

[0102] And the database (105) can manage rule relationships and data regarding permission relationships. This may include permission relationships between users and between users and user data, and the distinction between customers or customer data may utilize identification means such as user ID, email, QR code, etc., and values ​​that can identify uniqueness such as personal record ID.

[0103] In addition, data corresponding to the visit-only user interface displayed on the user terminal (10) side in step (d) can be shown to the user through an application.

[0104] In this case, the layout used by the application to display and configure data for the user follows values ​​defined within the application, but can be appropriately modified through data settings, user requests, or updates, and may include fixed values ​​as well as values ​​dynamically received through communication. Users can engage in additional mutual interaction by utilizing these user interfaces and interaction functions through the application.

[0105] Meanwhile, in step (c2-2), the processing unit (120) may exclude personal records of other users who are not allowed access to the corresponding user terminal (10) from being exposed in the visit-only user interface, depending on the result of the judgment in step (c2-1). Personal records of other users who are not allowed access to the corresponding user terminal (10) may be exposed in the visit-only user interface, but the content may be processed so that viewing is not possible.

[0106]

[0107] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of virtual visit usage in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the process of handling a virtual visit in this embodiment may include two main processes.

[0109] The first process includes the process of a random user selecting another user and the process of the server processing this.

[0110] When the user sends a request to select another user from their user terminal (10), the platform providing server (100) receives this request, reviews the disclosure and permission relationship, and prepares the necessary data.

[0111] After that, the user's user terminal (10) receives the repository data of another user, and reconstructs and displays the data through a dedicated application user interface.

[0112] Finally, the request processing result and metadata are stored in the database of the platform providing server (100), and the process is terminated.

[0113] The second process begins with a request from the user to use a function to interact with another user within the application. This request is processed by the platform provider server (100), which stores information related to the request in the database (105) and responds to the user. Subsequently, a notification is delivered to the other user's terminal (20, 30), and the request content is displayed through the user interface.

[0114] Then, the request results and metadata are stored in the database (105) of the platform provider server (100), and the process is terminated.

[0115]

[0116] Meanwhile, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a relational network of a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] As illustrated in FIG. 6, in a system according to one embodiment of the present invention, a logical system is formed through a combination of a service-wide rule and an allowance rule set through application operation via each user's user terminal, and virtual visits, viewing / inquiries, and interactions according to the rule are possible.

[0118] Meanwhile, the relationship allowing a visit-only user interface and the relationship allowing personal records for any user may be established by combining the overall applicable rules provided by the platform or the individual user's rules. That is, in this embodiment, either the overall applicable rules or the individual user's rules may be established alone, or the two may be established in combination.

[0119] In addition, the permission relationship between a user and other users, and between a user and other users' personal records, may be made to follow a mutually equal relationship, but may also not follow such a relationship.

[0120] For example, even if User A can be allowed to view User B's personal records, User B may, conversely, not allow User A to view their personal records depending on the settings.

[0121] In addition, the platform provider server may set up the relationships among all users to a mutually equal permission structure if necessary due to the nature of the service.

[0122] At this time, the service using the system autonomously sets rules such as the selection of bidirectional / unidirectional between users, the establishment of all-encompassing public relationships, and whether individual rules can be combined. Therefore, as illustrated in one embodiment, multiple logical groups for mutual interaction, such as (g1, g2, g3), having various relationship directions, may be formed.

[0123]

[0124] In addition, FIG. 7 is a signal flow diagram for performing a request operation related to a virtual visit at a user terminal (10) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the contents are as follows.

[0125] The user transmits a request to the platform providing server (100) via their user terminal (10) for setting the user-specific permission range or the disclosure range of the user's personal records. This request occurs when the user wishes to change or update the settings for interaction with other users. When the setting request signal arrives at the platform providing server (100), the platform providing server (100) stores the user-specific setting data.

[0126] When the user completes the settings and sends a request to select another user to the platform providing server (100), the platform providing server (100) queries the database (105) based on the user's setting information and request content to prepare the necessary data. The platform providing server (100) checks the authority to access another user's personal records according to the user's request, prepares the necessary data, and responds.

[0127] The user terminal (10) of a user who has received a response from the platform providing server (100) utilizes the data received from the platform providing server (100) to query information related to another user's records and displays it. In this process, related data regarding the request details and results is updated and stored in the platform providing server (100) and the database (105).

[0128] Additionally, after receiving data as needed, the user updates the data in their user terminal (10) application, and if necessary, the platform providing server (100) can send a notification to the user. Through this procedure, interaction and data exchange between users are achieved, and any user can view and exchange records of other users.

[0129] As a result, in the case of one embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in Fig. 7, unlike the existing method of collective access / viewing of creations by users under a relationship through a feed-type format, any user can take a method of 1:1 viewing of another user's entire repository or individual personal records through a virtual visit permission procedure.

[0130] Therefore, the present invention enables access to and sharing of user-specific details and metadata, such as the repository of the personal record owner to be visited and viewed, post settings, layout, and design.

[0131] In addition, through this, the present invention enables the formation of data related to requests, viewing, and relationship formation, data related to relationships between individuals and records, and tracking data that are structurally difficult to obtain within a collective exposure form, through a personalized permission system and a virtual visit structure, and can provide this to users.

[0132] Furthermore, the present invention may optionally process the corresponding information to provide additional symbol analysis services to users. For example, the symbol analysis service may include visit / inflow trends, time spent on content, and response information by layout.

[0133] Additionally, the present invention may provide further interaction options within the platform. That is, users can receive and utilize mutual networking and interaction functions through an application on a user terminal.

[0134] Furthermore, such networking and interaction functions can be utilized by updating features through applications provided to user terminals by adding, changing, or deleting functions, and modifying the process so that it is handled by the server.

[0136] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the detailed process of step (c3) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0137] As illustrated in FIG. 8, step (c3) can be performed when the service request signal identified by the operation processing unit (120) in step (b) is an interaction-related request signal, and specifically may include steps (c3-1) and (c3-3).

[0138] (c3-1) step is a process in which the operation processing unit (120) determines the type and details of the interaction with another user’s collection storage that appears in the interaction-related request signal.

[0139] And if necessary, the process of identifying user authentication data assigned to the user terminal (10) by the computation processing unit (120) may be additionally performed.

[0140] Step (c3-2) is a process in which the computation processing unit (120) processes the details based on the judgment result of Step (c3-1) and stores the processing details in a database (105) connected to the platform providing server (100).

[0141] In addition, step (c3-3) is a process in which the processing unit (120) transmits the processing result to the user terminal (10) so that it is rendered and displayed on the screen of the user terminal (10).

[0142] In addition, in this process, the result details are transmitted to a user terminal (10) to perform rendering through a terminal application, and in addition, if one or more users are linked to the user's interaction details, screen display can be performed through an application installed on the user terminal (10) owned by them.

[0143] Meanwhile, between steps (c3-2) and (c3-3), a step (c3-2.5) may be further performed to perform a notification by sending an alert or notification to the user terminal (10) if necessary.

[0144] Likewise, if one or more users are linked to the exchange history, a notification may also be performed on the user terminals (10) owned by them.

[0145]

[0146] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to virtual visits, a step (ex) of providing a design custom service that allows a user to express their individuality within the service through a user interface may be additionally performed.

[0147] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the detailed process of step (ex) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0148] As illustrated in FIG. 9, step (ex-1) is a process in which the design processing unit (130) receives a design custom service request signal for the user's archive of records transmitted from the user terminal (10). Step (ex-2) may include step (ex-3) in which the design processing unit of the server processes and stores the design change request, and then the changed design elements are applied to the user archive.

[0149] Accordingly, the user can subsequently check the details of the changes processed through the screen displayed in the software installed on the user terminal (10), and the changed user record collection storage design can also be displayed on user terminals (10) owned by other users.

[0150] That is, in this embodiment, various customizable options are provided to the user terminal (10), and the design can be customized by selecting / combining them on the screen displayed on the user terminal (10).

[0151] In this embodiment, custom elements may be various design elements that a user can apply to their archive of records. For example, the types of custom elements may include styles and colors such as backgrounds, surfaces, and themes; style selection and customization of UI / UX components; characters / avatars; stickers; metaverse-style custom elements; effects; and virtual components that can be raised or cultivated (houses, rooms, animals and plants, other indicators, etc.). It goes without saying that various other custom elements may also be applied.

[0152] And the platform providing server (100) can add, change, and update custom elements that users can access through continuous updates, etc. Custom elements may be provided by downloading them from the application during the selection stage when the user requests customization, or the elements may be pre-downloaded or updated through a terminal or application.

[0153] Additionally, users may receive these custom elements for free through a user terminal (10) or use them by making a paid payment. Furthermore, users may be able to directly design and upload various custom elements, such as pattern images, photos, music, and videos, to utilize them.

[0154] Additionally, in terms of form / format, if additional expression technologies such as Augmented Reality, Lifelogging, AR / VR, and the Metaverse are applicable, they may be included.

[0155]

[0156] FIGS. 10 to 12 are diagrams illustrating, in an exemplary manner, the customization process of a collection of records being displayed on a user terminal (10) in a method for providing a semi-public personal record creation and viewing platform with an interactive function applied by virtual visit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0157] As shown in each drawing, the user can design their own record collection storage by specifying components such as colors and patterns according to their taste through the user terminal (10).

[0158] FIG. 10 illustrates an exemplary screen that provides designable custom elements to a user terminal (10) in the form of a personal computer, and FIG. 11 illustrates a use example in which a user designs their own archive using designable custom elements.

[0159] In the case of this embodiment, components consisting of simple combinations such as colors and patterns may be provided depending on the characteristics of the service, or elements to which the user's personalization is specifically applied may be applied, such as characters / avatars, stickers, custom elements in the form of a metaverse, effects, and virtual components that can be raised or cultivated (houses, rooms, animals and plants, other indicators, etc.), depending on the user's usage patterns.

[0160] Furthermore, custom design-related custom elements / functions can be provided and utilized across multiple user interface screens, divided by function rather than on a single screen; it goes without saying that the delivery methods, such as UI / UX position, size, and configuration on each screen, can be varied.

[0161] FIG. 12 illustrates an exemplary screen in which a user specifies custom elements on a user terminal (10) in the form of a mobile device. As illustrated, the present embodiment can provide a function that allows various options to be selected in terms of the style of custom elements.

[0162] In addition, in the case of the present embodiment, based on the service described above, the platform providing server (100) may further include a function to analyze elements, content, and data applied by the user.

[0163] To this end, the platform providing server (100) can specifically collect personal records created by the user and trend data applied when the user customizes the record collection repository and make them targets for analysis.

[0164] And the platform providing server (100) can derive a user's preference profile based on the collected data. The preference profile is a type of data model that represents the individual user's preferences by comprehensively analyzing the user's personal record writing style, elements, and design preferences. Such a preference profile can be used to predict what type of product or service the user is likely to prefer.

[0165] For example, if a user mainly uses natural landscape images and frequently selects green-colored colors, the platform providing server (100) can determine that the user is likely to be interested in nature-related products or services.

[0166] After the preference profile is derived, the platform providing server (100) can derive preference prediction product information based on it. In this process, the platform providing server (100) can predict products or services that the user is likely to prefer and provide customized information regarding them.

[0167] Product information is presented reflecting the user's personalized preferences and can be structured to allow easy access and verification within the platform. Additionally, product information can consist of various forms of content, such as e-commerce products, subscription services, and event tickets, and can be provided in a manner that increases the likelihood of user purchase or participation.

[0168] Additionally, the derived product information can be shared with other users who have an allowance relationship with the user. To this end, the platform providing server (100) determines whether the information can be exposed to other users based on the user's allowance settings, and thereby provides the product information only to the allowed users. At this time, the allowed users can check the information by visiting the user's archive of records or through a notification.

[0169] Furthermore, a feature may be provided that allows users to raise funds from other authorized users for products or services they are interested in. Funding can be carried out to support the purchase of products or services preferred by the user, or to raise funds to achieve specific goals.

[0170] For example, when a user creates a funding request for a product or project they prefer, authorized users can provide funds for the project. During this process, the platform providing server (100) manages the progress of the funding in real time and can ensure that the funding is completed when the target amount set by the user is reached. Additionally, funding can be implemented in the form of pre-purchasing products, group purchasing, or providing service usage rights.

[0171] As described above, preferred embodiments according to the present invention have been examined. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that, in addition to the embodiments described above, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or scope. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive, and accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the description above but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
