Abstract

A real-time knowledge information search system using wired/wireless networks and a method for registering/managing knowledge information using the same. One or more user terminals are connected to the communication networks, for the on-line generation of inquiry information and the receipt of corresponding materials for the inquiry, and one or more expert terminals connected to the communication networks, for providing reply information of pertinent knowledge. A service server transmits the inquiry information of the user to the expert terminals that are being currently connected, transmits the expert'"'"'s reply information to the user terminal on-line and classifies data for the reply information, in response to the user'"'"'s information request. A professional knowledge information database is connected to the service server, for classifying/storing the reply information provided from the expert terminals therein. The reply information is used as professional knowledge information corresponding to a user'"'"'s professional knowledge request.

a service server for transmitting the inquiry information of the user to the expert terminals that are being currently connected, transmitting the expert'"'"'s reply information to the user terminal through the on-line communication means, and classifying data for the reply information, in response to the user'"'"'s information request; and

a professional knowledge information database connected to the service server, for classifying/storing the reply information provided from the expert terminals therein, so that the reply information is used as professional knowledge information corresponding to a user'"'"'s professional knowledge request.

2. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user terminals are any one of a personal computer, a mobile phone and a PDA, which can connect to the Internet.

3. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more expert terminals are expert'"'"'s terminals that are being currently connected, which are classified by the field, language and region.

4. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the on-line communication means is a messenger.

5. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the on-line communication means is an Internet portal site.

6. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user terminal performs an on-line connection of the on-line communication means via predetermined authentication procedure, and the service server has a SSO security application solution therein, which permits access of the user terminals based on a user'"'"'s log-on information that is initially inputted.

7. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the service server comprises:

a search server for classifying professional knowledge information corresponding to the user'"'"'s request information and searching the professional knowledge information database for the professional knowledge information;

a mail server for transmitting the result information searched in the search server or information provided by the portal site to the user terminal;

a contents server for providing a plurality of additional service information; and

a knowledge server for classifying knowledge for a user'"'"'s inquiry, classifying information on response, and operating and managing the professional knowledge information database.

8. The real-time knowledge information search system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user terminals provide the degree of satisfaction for the reply information in numerical information, the professional knowledge information database matches the reply information and the numerical information and then stores the matched information therein, and the service server provides corresponding reply information and its numerical information when the user requests professional knowledge.

9. A method for searching knowledge information for an on-line portal service in real-time using wired/wireless communication networks, comprising the steps of:

a) performing an authentication procedure for accessing an on-line communication means to a user terminal;

b) generating inquiry information for a knowledge search through the on-line communication means;

c) analyzing the inquiry information, and extracting previously stored basic information from a database depending on the analysis result;

d) providing list information on the basic information through a web page of the portal service;

e) confirming reply information provided from the list information through the user terminal, and if detailed information on the reply information is not requested, finishing a corresponding process and if detailed information on the reply information is requested, searching a plurality of experts who are previously registered based on the analysis result for the inquiry information;

f) extracting an expert who is being currently connected among the plurality of the experts, and transmitting the inquiry information to an expert terminal of the selected expert through the on-line communication means;

g) requesting an on-line access for transmitting the reply information corresponding to the inquiry information, which is provided from the expert terminal, to the user terminal;

h) if the user terminal does not accept the on-line access request, finishing a corresponding process, and if the user terminal accepts the on-line access request, allowing the user terminal and the expert terminal to be connected one-to-one with each other through real-time on-line information transmit means;

i) storing reply information provided to the user terminal in the database during the one-to-one connection between the user terminal and the expert terminal; and

j) in response to the reply information, finishing a corresponding process or returning to step f) by providing added/modified information for the inquiry information.

10. The method for searching knowledge information as claimed in claim 9, wherein the on-line communication means is a messenger.

11. The method for searching knowledge information as claimed in claim 9, wherein the access to the database through the on-line communication means is an access method based on personal information provided in the authentication procedure and a SSO security application solution.
