BEST MODE

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention is not interpreted as being limited to the exemplary embodiments described below. The embodiments are provided for more completely explaining the present invention to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the shapes of the components in the drawings are drawn to emphasize a clearer explanation.

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a website monitoring system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a server illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a blocking mapping table illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, in order to detect various digital contents such as webtoons, sound sources, videos, and books which are illegally copied and circulated on a website 100, a website monitoring system 10 according to the present invention monitors web information 110 stored in the website 100 using a monitoring server 200 and senses whether the monitoring is blocked in real time. Further, when the monitoring for the website 100 is blocked, the website monitoring system 10 resumes monitoring of the website 100 using the other unique authority information 227 except at least one unique authority information 227 having an access right to the website 100. That is, even though the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100, the website monitoring system 10 according to the present invention may consistently monitor the website 100, that is, web information 110, using other unique authority information 227. In such a website monitoring system 10, the website 100 and a monitoring server 200 may be connected to each other through a communication path such as a communication network.

[0025] Specifically, the website 100 stores web information 110 including various digital contents such as webtoons, sound sources, videos, and books. Further, the website 100 approves the unique authority information 227 having an access authority to the website 100 to detect web information 110 which approves the monitoring. In this case, the websites 100 are scattered in various places without discriminating the places so that it is assumed that the web information 110 may be uploaded by individual website managers. Specifically, the web information 110 includes identifiable attribute information such as a tag so that when the monitoring is performed by the monitoring server 200, the attribute information may be provided.

[0026] The monitoring server 200 monitors whether the web information 110 is illegally copied web information using at least one unique authority information 227 among a plurality of unique authority information 227 having an access right to the website 100 and senses whether the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100. Further, when the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100, the monitoring server 200 resumes the monitoring of the web information 110 using the other unique authority information 227 except the blocked unique authority information 227. Such a monitoring server 200 includes a control unit 201, a communication unit 202, a monitoring program 210, and a database 220.

[0027] The control unit 201 controls an overall operation of the monitoring server 200 to be processed using the monitoring program 210. That is, the control unit 201 controls the communication unit 202, the monitoring program 210, and the database 220.

[0028] The communication unit 202 connects the website 100 and the monitoring serer 200 to each other through a communication path such as a communication network. Further, the communication unit 202 is controlled by the control unit 201 to perform data communication between the website 100 and the monitoring server 200.

[0029] The monitoring program 210 monitors whether the web information 110 is illegally copied web information using at least one unique authority information 227 among a plurality of unique authority information 227 having an access right to the website 100 to sense whether the web information 110 is illegally copied web information in real time. Further, when the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100 during the monitoring, the monitoring program 210 stores a blocking mapping table in which the blocked unique authority information 227 and the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 are mapped to each other. Further, the monitoring program 210 resets the monitoring using other unique authority information 227 instead of the blocked unique authority information 227 to resume the monitoring of the website 100. In this case, the monitoring program 210 substitutes another unique authority information 227 into script information 221 which issues an access command to perform the monitoring on the website 100, that is, the command to allow the access to the website 100. Further, the monitoring program may be equipped as a computer program which performs a searching and indexing function, such as a crawler. Further, when the other unique authority information 227 is blocked by the web site 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 again, the monitoring program 210 extracts the unique authority information 227 corresponding to the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 from the blocking mapping table 229 and resumes the monitoring of the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 using the extracted unique authority information 227 depending whether the extracted unique authority information 227 is unblocked. To this end, the monitoring program 210 includes a web information searching unit 211, a search blocking sensing unit 213, and a search resetting unit 215.

[0030] The web information searching unit 211 is equipped as a computer program such as a crawler and monitors whether the web information 110 is illegally copied web information using at least one unique authority information 227 among a plurality of unique authority information 227 having an access right to the website 100 to sense whether the web information 110 is illegally copied web information in real time.

[0031] The search blocking sensing unit 213 senses whether the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100 while the monitoring is performed by the web information searching unit 211. Further, when the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100, the search blocking sensing unit 213 stores the unique authority information 227 blocked from the website 100 and a website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 in the database 220. Further, the search blocking sensing unit 213 transmits a signal indicating that the monitoring is blocked from the website 100 to the search resetting unit 215.

[0032] The search resetting unit 215 receives the signal indicating that the monitoring, that is, the access to the unique authority information 227 is blocked, from the search blocking sensing unit 213 to reset the monitoring by substituting other unique authority information 227 except the blocked unique authority information 227 into script information 221, thereby resuming the monitoring of the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227.

[0033] The database 220 stores script information 221, website information 223, a web information hash value 225, and unique authority information 227 from a manager of the monitoring server 200 under the control of the control unit 201 and receives the blocked unique authority information 227 and the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 which is from the search blocking sensing unit 213 to store them in the blocking mapping table 229. Here, the website information 223 may include location records such as a uniform resource locator (URL) through which the web site 100 is searched. That is, when the web information searching unit 211 and the search resetting unit 215 try to access the website 100, the website information 223 provides location records to provide information which allows the access to the website 100 to be monitored. Further, the unique authority information 227 may be included as identification information having an access authority to the website 100, such as an internet protocol (IP) and an identification (ID) which is approved to access the website 100. Further, a plurality of unique authority information is provided so as to correspond to the blocking of at least one unique authority information 227 from the website 100. Further, the web information hash value 225 is a password for discerning an illegally copied web information 110 from the web information 110 and is provided to the web information searching unit 211 to verify identity of the web information 110. Referring to FIG. 3, specifically, the blocking mapping table 229 may allow the blocked unique authority information 227 and the web site 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 to correspond one to one to each other. Although one to one correspondence is illustrated in the drawing, it is obvious that when one website 100 overlaps for a plurality of blocked unique authority information 227, multiple-to-one correspondence is allowed therebetween.

[0034] Specifically, a website monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

[0035] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of a website monitoring method according to the present invention. Here, the website monitoring method will be described in detail using components of the website monitoring system 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 4, according to the website monitoring method according to the embodiment of the present invention, in step S310, the monitoring server 200 accesses the website 100 using at least one unique authority information 227 among a plurality of unique authority information and monitors the website 100 to detect illegally copied web information which is illegally copied and circulated, among web information 110 stored in the accessed website 100.

[0037] In step S320, the monitoring server 200 senses whether the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the accessed website 100 in real time. When the unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100, this procedure goes to steps S330 and S340 and when the unique authority information is not blocked from the website 100, this procedure goes to step S350 to consistently monitor the website 100.

[0038] In step s330, the monitoring server 200 substitutes other unique authority information 227 except the unique authority information 227 blocked from the website 100 into the script information 221 to reset to resume the monitoring of the website 100.

[0039] Further, in step S340, the monitoring server 200 generates a blocking mapping table 229 by mapping the unique authority information 227 blocked from the website 100 and the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 to form a one-to-one correspondence or multiple-to-one correspondence or updates the previously stored blocking mapping table 229. In this case, when the other unique authority information 227 is blocked from the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 while consistently monitoring the website 100 in step S350, the monitoring server 200 extracts unique authority information 227 corresponding to the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 from the blocking mapping table 229 and resumes the monitoring of the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 using the extracted unique authority information 227 depending on whether the extracted unique authority information 227 is unblocked. Here, it is understood that step S330 is repeatedly performed to resume the monitoring of the website 100 which blocks the unique authority information 227 using the extracted unique authority information 227.

[0040] That is, the web information monitoring step is performed in step S310, the monitoring blocking detecting step is performed in step S320, and the monitoring resetting step is performed in steps S330 and S340. Further, in step S350, the monitoring resuming step is performed.

[0041] Accordingly, the website monitoring system 10 according to the present invention monitors the web information 110 stored in the website 100 using unique authority information 227 having an access right to the website 100 and senses whether the unique authority information 227 is blocked in real time in order to detect various digital contents such as webtoons, sound sources, videos, and books which are illegally copied and circulated on a website 100. Further, when the unique authority information 227 is blocked, the website monitoring system 10 resumes the monitoring of the web information 110 using the other unique authority information 227 except the blocked unique authority information 227.

[0042] Although a configuration and an operation of the website monitoring system and the monitoring method according to the present invention have been described with reference to the detailed description and the drawings, this merely describes the embodiments and various modification and changes may be allowed without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
