Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a communication module configured to communicate with an external device, a memory configured to store security information controlling registration of secured information, the security information indicating a plurality of data types, an input module, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including security information for storage in a memory, the security information indicating a plurality of data types, in response to detecting a user input by an input module, retrieving account information corresponding to a user account, and in response to detecting that data elements of the account information correspond to the plurality of data types in the security information, transmitting a request to register the user account on a first transactional server.

Abstract: There is provided a method of registering advertisements for display on an electronic map through the use of an advertisement registration server. The advertisement registration server receives an access request from a terminal via the network. The server then searches a map information database for predetermined map information and transmits searched map information to the terminal. The predetermined map information is associated with center coordinates and a scale value. Further, the predetermined map information is structured into a lattice having a plurality of lattice units. From the terminal, the server receives an advertisement contents registration request having advertisement information identifying one or more of the plurality of lattice units. The server registers in an advertisement database the advertisement information in association with the one or more lattice units identified in the registration request, and the center coordinates and the scale value of the predetermined map information.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for supporting a payment function are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication module, at least one memory configured to store a payment application and payment information relating to the payment application, and a processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive the payment information from an external device via the communication module and store the received payment information in the memory, receive a stop or deactivation request of the payment application and/or the payment information from the external device via the communication module, and in response to the request, stop or deactivate the payment application and/or the payment information.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving user payment information including a user identifier for paying for an item from a user terminal or a shop payment terminal, determining at least one payment mean available at the payment terminal based on a shop payment information database, comparing payment conditions when two or more payment means are available, and transmitting the prioritized payment means based on a result of the comparison to the user terminal or the shop payment terminal. An electronic wallet server comprises a controller configured to compare payment conditions when two or more payment means are available, and cause the transceiver to transmit prioritized payment means based on a result of the comparison to the user terminal or the shop payment terminal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provide advertising (Ad) ranking information. An Ad information collector collects Ad property information included in a plurality of advertisements. A feedback information collector collects feedback information that is determined as a function of Ad impressions. A table generator generates an Ad information collection table as a function of the Ad property information and the feedback information. A ranking calculator generates Ad ranking information for the plurality of advertisements using the generated Ad information collection table. Upon receiving an Ad request from an Ad exposure device, a processor requests the plurality of advertisements from a plurality of Ad networks, receives the requested plurality of advertisements from the plurality of Ad networks, receives the feedback information from the Ad exposure device, and transmits the generated Ad ranking information to the Ad exposure device along with the received plurality of advertisements.

Abstract: A method and system for providing regional information based on location is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a user inputs a keyword, from which a target location and a search category are extracted. A location range for search is determined by setting a center of the location range to the target location. Search result data are retrieved from a search information database based on the search category and the location range. The location range may be increased or decreased in response to a user's request, based on which the search result data are updated. The apparatus and method of the present invention provides search results ranked within a certain geographical range from a target location, which makes it possible for a specific location-based business to advertise through an Internet search service in a cost-effective way.
