Abstract

Disclosed are a personalized service system based on a smart card, a method thereof, and a smart card applied to the same. Personalized information is extracted through the data mining by collecting user input information stored based on an SCWS (smart card web server) function, access history information for a site requested by a user, call history information of a user terminal stored based on a USIM (universal subscriber identity module), and base station information received from the user terminal. Since the personalized information is obtained based on the SCWS function and the USIM installed in the smart card, various regulations related to personalized information are circumvented, enabling provision of various personalized services.

Claims

1. A system for a personalized service based on a smart card, the system comprising:

a user terminal linked with the smart card for accessing a site requested by a user through a browser installed in the user terminal; and

the smart card, with an SCWS (smart card web server) and a USIM (universal subscriber identity module) combined therein, for collecting and storing user history information, accumulated by the SCWS and the USIM, based on predetermined events, and performing a data mining based on the user history information to extract personalized information, wherein the user history information is collected from the user terminal through a CAT (credit authorization terminal) framework.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a service application server for providing the personalized service based on the personalized information extracted through the smart card.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the service application server is installed in the smart card as an applet or located in a mobile communication network as a separate server, to provide the personalized service based on the extracted personalized information.

4. A smart card for a personalized service, the smart card comprising:

the smart card, wherein the smart card comprises;

a history information collection unit linked with a user terminal having a browser, for collecting user history information based on predetermined events;

a personalized information extraction unit for performing a data mining based on the user history information and extracting personalized information; and

an interface unit for providing the extracted personalized information upon a request from a specific application located inside or outside the smart card, wherein an SCWS and a USIM is combined in the smart card, and wherein the user history information is collected from the user terminal through a CAT (credit authorization terminal) framework.

5. The smart card of claim 4, wherein the history information collection unit collects the user history information based on the predetermined events generated from the smart card and the user terminal or from an external server.

6. The smart card of claim 5, wherein the history information collection unit comprises:

a server information collection module for collecting the user history information related with the usage of the SCWS;

a card information collection module for collecting the user history information stored in the USIM; and

a terminal information collection module for collecting the user history information received from the user terminal.

7. The smart card of claim 6, wherein the user history information collected by the server information collection module comprises user input information required to use the SCWS and access history information, stored in the SCWS, which contains access history to sites requested by the user.

8. The smart card of claim 6, wherein the server information collection module collects the user history information from applets based on the SCWS, through a shareable interface mechanism defined in Java Card 2.2.1.

9. The smart card of claim 6, wherein the user history information collected by the card information collection module comprises call history information of the user terminal, stored in the USIM.

10. The smart card of claim 6, wherein the user history information collected by the terminal information collection module comprises location and time information received from the user terminal.

11. The smart card of claim 6, wherein the terminal information collection module collects the user history information from the user terminal through the CAT (credit authorization terminal) framework.

12. The smart card of claim 4, wherein the personalized information extraction unit extracts the personalized information from the user history information through a mining mechanism including at least one of a neural network, a K-means clustering and a decision tree.

13. A method for providing a personalized service based on a smart card in cooperation with a user terminal having a browser, the method comprising the steps of:

collecting user history information in the smart card based on predetermined events;

performing a data mining based on the collected user history information; and

providing personalized information extracted through the data mining to a specific application upon a request thereof, wherein the collected user history information comprises;

user input information required to use a SCWS, which is combined with the smart card, and call history information of the user terminal, stored in a USIM, and wherein the user history information is collected from the user terminal through a CAT (credit authorization terminal) framework.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the predetermined events comprises events generated from a specific external server, the user terminal or a smart card.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the collected user history information comprises access history information, stored in the SCWS, which contains access history to sites requested by a user.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the user history information is collected from applets based on the SCWS, through a shareable interface mechanism defined in Java Card 2.2.1.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the

the collected user history information comprises location and time information received from the user terminal.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the personalized information is extracted from the user history information through a mining mechanism including at least one of a neural network, a K-means clustering and a decision tree.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the personalized information is provided to the specific application, which is located inside or outside the smart card.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium comprising computer readable code to control at least one processing device to implement a method for providing a personalized service based on a smart card in cooperation with a user terminal having a browser, the method comprising:

collecting user history information in the smart card based on predetermined events;

performing a data mining based on the collected user history information; and

providing personalized information extracted through the data mining to a specific application upon a request thereof, wherein the collected user history information comprises;

user input information required to use a SCWS, which is combined with the smart card, and call history information of the user terminal, stored in a USIM, and wherein the user history information is collected from the user terminal through a CAT (credit authorization terminal) framework.
