Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION AND CALCULATIONS FOR IT BY USING

TELECOMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION CHANNELS

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of creating technical means of receiving / transmitting information and settlements (payment) for it, including using wireless access, including global and local information telecommunication networks, such as

Internet, Ethernet, mobile phone communication, etc.

State of the art

Currently available technical solutions for obtaining information flows, including those in the Internet environment, are based mainly on the use of information retrieval systems. Known application for US patent US 2002/0062312 Al, providing the selection of useful information based on the processing of a semi-structured array of this information by sequential iteration.

Known US patent application US 2004/0098316 Al, dedicated to making purchases by the user via the Internet, using general information about the user, such as name (surname, name, middle name), address and credit card number provided by the user for verification by the seller, when In this case, the test result (s) are stored in the computer memory. Also known US patent N ° 6064980 from 05.16.2002, which is the closest in technical essence to the claimed invention and consists in making purchases through the Internet by forming online recommendations based on the generated ratings of the acquired objects. A common drawback of the technical solutions for transmitting information by telecommunication channels currently known is the low accuracy of the information received by the user on all objects of interest to him (and not only in the case of purchases via the Internet), due to the inconsistency of some data presented on the Internet on the same object different providers of this data, as well as the complexity of settlements (payments) for information carried out by credit cards, various Internet cards, telephone cards, electronic money cards, etc. Disclosure of invention

The present invention is aimed at eliminating the indicated disadvantage of low accuracy of the technical solutions for transmitting information by telecommunication channels and the complexity of settlements for it. The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the method of transmitting information and payments for it using telecommunication channels, which consists in the fact that they form a request in information networks, select information on the object of interest to the user, form recommendations on the basis of ratings and calculate for information by debiting funds from the user's financial cards, additionally form databases on topics, logically interconnected different aspects of the database are grouped in a ban Data caches, at the request of the user, the data of the database and data banks are processed using the database management system on an isolated server and receive rating data values and data information matrices having at least two dimensions, while the data is hyperlinked to them suppliers, determining their geographical location on a digital map of the area, the route to them from a user-specified point on a digital map of the area or from its actual geographical location location, determine the parameters of the user's terminal device and the software installed on it, in accordance with which they determine the format and amount of information transfer and set the phone number, while the calculation for the information is done by sending the user at least one message to the specified phone number, and data updating on an isolated server is performed as data changes occur in at least one of the objects. Such a structuring of information flows makes it possible to increase the accuracy of information received by the user on the object of interest to him, as well as to simplify the calculation (payment) for it, while the financial card of the user in the present invention means any tangible medium containing information about financial resources and intended to pay for services ( goods), for example, a credit card, an Internet card, a telephone card, an electronic money card, etc., and a message means a set of data or their absence, auto izuyuschih user or terminal user device, for example, SMS (Short Messenger Servis), EMS (Email Messenger Servis), MMS (Multimedia Server), etc.

The method is implemented as follows in accordance with the positions depicted in FIG. The terminal device of user 1 in the form of a mobile phone, (smartphone, communicator), handheld personal computer, laptop, desktop personal computer requests information about the object of interest in the Internet 2 environment in arrays of structured or unstructured information from websites 3 or / and on isolated Server 5 using Sandbox 4.

At the moment when the user wants to obtain analytical information that improves the accuracy of the information of his initial request, he forms a request to a database management system (DBMS) 6 connected to an isolated server, where there are databases 7 formed according to the topics of the request. In turn, various aspects of the database, logically interconnected, form databases 8 that connect to an isolated server.

An example of a data bank 8 can be a geo-information database formed on the basis of logically related (for this data bank), but various databases 7, for example: -data database of a digital terrain map;

- a database of hotels, shops, medical services, enterprises, companies, banks, gas stations, schedules and routes of traffic and other infrastructure of the area; - database of satellite images of the area; - database of potentially dangerous terrain objects; - database of meteorological forecasts of the area; - database of forecasts of natural or / and technological disasters; - a database of forecasts of political and / or economic, including the exchange rate of national and foreign currencies and / or sports life of the area.

A user having access to a DBMS (created with a user-friendly interface that is clear to a simple user) forms a request for obtaining analytical information on an object of interest to him (an object in this invention refers to any product or service), such as: object ratings at prices, at warranty service periods, durability, manufacturers (including the terms of their existence, the number of complaints, returns, appeals to the court, etc.), the volume of release, consumption statistics, including well-known personalities mi etc. A characteristic difference in this case is that the user himself forms the rating parameters, which increases the accuracy of the information received by him. Using a DBMS, the user also forms an information data matrix, which is a spatially organized array of information consisting, for example, of rows and columns and having at least two dimensions. In FIG. Figure 2 shows examples of two-dimensional (Fig. 2a) and three-dimensional (Fig.2.b) information price matrices in relation to the search for an object implemented by various manufacturers.

Also, the user has direct access to databases and data banks, which allows, among other things, to generate analytical information using its own DBMS.

The user transmits information about the type of terminal device and the software installed on it to an isolated server, for example, using e-mail, SMS messages, etc., and this information can also be determined by the isolated server automatically, for example, via the IEEE network. An isolated server software allows you to set a telephone number in each locality, city, region, country, the transmission of at least one specific message from a specific terminal device means that the user pays for the requested information service.

This allows you to give information at the user's request, the format and volume of which are optimized for the parameters of the user's terminal device and the software installed on it, for example, by the resolution of the display of the terminal device, by the memory size of the terminal device, by the geometric dimensions of the display of the terminal device, etc. . For example, at the request of the user of navigation data for following to a specific object, including a digital map of the area and the route to it from a given point according to the proposed method, the server software will set a telephone number defined in each area, city, region, country, which is transmitted by telecommunication channels to the user's terminal device, the same number of messages is transmitted from the server there, which must be transmitted from the user's terminal device to the above phone number so that the requested service is considered prepaid. If the server receives a signal, for example, from a mobile operator that the necessary number of messages to a specific phone number from a specific terminal device has been received, it will use the geo-information database to create the required route to the object, determine the parameters of the terminal device and the device installed on it software, in accordance with which it will issue to the terminal a route to the object with the volume of a digital terrain map that is necessary and sufficient for the user to achieve the desired object, for example, on the display of the terminal device only houses along the direction of movement will be displayed, there will be voice guidance of the movement indicating the necessary turns, turns, etc., there will be a combination of images of houses along the direction of movement with voice guidance, etc. d. This optimizes data transfer in the presence of a small geometric display size of the user's terminal device, its low resolution, as well as with limited software memory, when reproducing large arrays of geo-information data with the required image quality (given resolution) is difficult.

Similarly, a service is provided for the transfer of information not only of a geoinformation nature, but also of all the others, including information on goods and services, comparative, (analytical) information, etc.

Thus, the described method provides the user with analytical information about the object of interest to him, which has increased accuracy with a simplified procedure for calculating (paying) for it. Such a calculation procedure is relevant, for example, when creating an information service service by an information provider in conjunction, for example, with a mobile operator.

In the particular case of the invention, the data can be transmitted to the user at a given date and time.

In the particular case of the invention, the data can be transferred to the user, taking into account the place of its geographical location. This implementation is technically feasible both in manual mode, when the user himself transmits to the server the current location of his geographical location, and automatically, when the user's geographical location is determined by the magnitude of the signals, inversely proportional to the distances from the nearest hundreds of mobile operators.

In the particular case of the invention, the actualization of the data can be done by the providers of this data.

In the particular case of the invention, users can perform data adjustment and send this correction via telecommunication channels to an isolated server, while the isolated server software asks the provider of the corrected data about its consent to the corrections made to the data, if the data provider agrees with the software the server makes adjustments to the data, in case of disagreement of the data provider, the server software does not make adjustments to data. The technical result of increasing the accuracy of the information received and simplifying the calculations (payments) for it in the system of transmitting information and settlements for it using telecommunication channels is achieved by the fact that a system consisting of a user’s terminal device, a block of structured and unstructured information websites, the Internet environment, the block of calculations for information additionally include a block for determining the parameters of the user’s terminal device and software installed on it tions, the unit setting the telephone number, the unit database and a data bank, located on an isolated server where the database management system unit is connected, while the user terminal is able to connect to the data through the isolated access medium both through the database management system unit and directly to the databases and data banks, the isolated access environment is implemented with the possibility of wireless communication, updating the data on an isolated server is carried out as data changes occur in at least one of the objects, and the calculation for information yu is performed by a user transmitting at least one message to a specified phone number.

The system operates as follows in accordance with the positions shown in FIG. 1 given in parentheses. The terminal device of user 1 through the Internet 2 accesses a block of structured and unstructured arrays of websites 3 and generates a request for the object of interest to him. At the moment when the user wants to obtain analytical information that improves the accuracy of the information of his initial request, he connects through the isolated access environment 4 to the isolated server 5 and generates a request to the database management system unit 6, which is also connected to the isolated server. The blocks of the database 7 through the blocks of the database 8 are connected to an isolated server.

The user, through the DBMS block, forms a request for obtaining analytical information on the object of interest to him, such as: ratings of objects at prices, by the terms of warranty service, by durability, by manufacturers (including by the terms of their existence, the number of complaints, returns, appeals to the court, etc.), in terms of output, consumption statistics, including by well-known personalities, etc. A characteristic difference in this case is that the user himself forms the rating parameters, which increases the accuracy of the information received by him.

The user also forms, using the DBMS block, an information data matrix, which is a spatially organized array of information consisting, for example, of rows and columns and having at least two dimensions.

Also, the user has access directly to the blocks of databases and data banks, which allows, among other things, to generate analytical information using its own DBMS.

The user transmits information about the type of terminal device and the software installed on it to an isolated server, for example, by e-mail, SMS - messages, etc., and also this information can be determined as isolated server automatically using, for example, the IEEE network. The isolated server software allows you to set a telephone number in each locality, city, region, country, the transmission of at least one specific message from a specific terminal device means that the user pays for the requested information provision service

Such a system operation scheme allows, on the one hand, to provide information at the user's request, the format and volume of which are optimized for the parameters of the user's terminal device and the software installed on it, for example, by the resolution of the display of the terminal device, by the memory size of the terminal device, by geometric terminal display size, etc. and to increase the accuracy of the information provided by transmitting comparative (analytical) information, on the other hand, to simplify the calculation (payment) of the user for the provided service by transmitting at least one message from the user's terminal device to the set for the locality, city, region, country server software a specific phone number. Functional blocks of the system are connected by functional relationships in such a way that the terminal device of user 1 is connected via the Internet 2 to blocks of structured and unstructured arrays of websites 3, and through the isolated access environment 4 it is connected to an isolated server 5, a database block 7, and a block of data banks 8. The database management system unit 6 is connected to the isolated servers 5. The database unit 7 is connected to the data banks unit 8, which in turn is connected to the isolated server 5.
