4 is a flowchart for transmitting and receiving an electronic business card according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a method of transmitting an electronic business card to a receiver by the sender may apply various methods as follows.

First, referring to FIG. 1 again, a transmitter and a receiver located at a short distance may use a wireless communication method such as a 'Bluetooth method' and an 'Infrared Data Association' (IrDA) method. For example, an electronic business card can be directly transmitted and received between mobile communication terminals and the like.

In this case, the electronic business card (which can be applied in at least one quantity) transmitted from the sender's terminal device to the receiver's terminal device is stored in the sender's terminal device and is electronic business card information including the sender's personal information. In addition, the electronic business card described above may be produced by the sender using the input unit 270-2 of the terminal device, or after the sender connects to a web server to produce the electronic business card, the electronic business card is stored in the terminal device storage unit. It can be downloaded and applied to (280-FIG. 2).

Second, referring again to FIG. 1, in the case of a sender and a receiver located at a remote location, when the sender transmits the corresponding electronic business card transmission request information to a web server through a communication network, the sender based on the received electronic business card transmission request information received by the web server After searching the electronic business card, the searched electronic business card is transmitted to the short message server of the mobile communication service provider.

The short message server transmits the received electronic business card to the receiver, and the receiver can check the sender's electronic business card through the terminal device display unit. Also in this case, a plurality of electronic business card manufacturing methods as described above may be applied.

Third, in the case of a sender and a receiver located at a near or remote location, the sender connects to a web server, searches for a pre-made electronic business card, and transmits the electronic business card to the receiver so that the receiver can check the terminal device display unit. So that is how to apply.

In all three methods described above, the receiver may store the received electronic business card, and a method of storing and managing the electronic business card will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 5.

Hereinafter, a method of transmitting an electronic business card to a receiver by a sender will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The electronic business card transmission method described later may be similarly applied to all three methods described above, and will be described from a sender's point of view for convenience of description.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 510, the sender selects a business card sending item from a plurality of selection items.

In step 520, if there is more than one electronic business card created by the sender, a specific electronic business card to be sent to the receiver is selected. The sender can produce one or more electronic business cards and send the appropriate electronic business cards to the recipient as needed. For example, if a sender produces an "e-business card for a friend", an "e-business card for a business purpose", an "electronic business card for a lover", etc., the appropriate business card may be selectively selected in consideration of the relationship of the receiver to the sender. Can transmit

In addition, in the case of producing more than one electronic business card, the same design (design), but the amount of information can be configured and applied selectively. For example, a sender may include an "e-business card containing only a name and phone number", an "e-business card containing only a name, phone number, and work name", a "name, phone number, home address, work name, social security number, etc." In the case of producing an electronic business card, an electronic business card containing only as much as the recipient wants to provide the sender's personal information can be transmitted.

However, if there is only one business card that can be produced by the sender, step 520 can be omitted.

In step 530, the sender inputs the recipient's telephone number (if it is a computer, an e-mail address) using the terminal device input unit, and in step 540, the sender's phone number (if the computer is used, the email address). Can be entered).

In step 550, the sender enters the attachment (eg, regards, request, etc.) that he wishes to provide to the recipient. In step 560, the sender transmits the electronic business card to the receiver through the selection of the 'send' item.

5 is a flowchart illustrating management of an electronic business card received through a terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 610, a terminal device (eg, a mobile communication terminal, a computer, etc.) receives electronic business card information from a sender terminal device, and proceeds to step 620 to output the business card information to the terminal device display unit. . Since steps 610 and 620 have been described in detail with reference to FIG. 2, the description thereof will be omitted.

In operation 630, the terminal device determines whether storage request information is input from the receiver. If the store request information is not received from the user, the flow proceeds to step 640 to delete the electronic business card information. Otherwise, the flow proceeds to step 650.
