4. Managing Spam Messages

For example, settings for various convenience functions can be changed by user selection, and detailed functions regarding the setting can be added.

Other features include:

1. When you receive an SMS text message

-If you have a Talk Talk message conversation history with the person who sent the SMS by running Talk Talk Live, open the Talk Talk Message dialog and show them in chronological order.

-If there is no chat history, it shows a new Talk Talk Live dialog.

Hereinafter, a phone number based social network service system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.

1. Add a friend 1

-A address book has B's phone number.

-B's address book also has A's phone number.

end. How to add a friend 1

In this case, ask friends A and B to add each other.

-Only friends are added if both are OK.

-But both are not OK so you can send a message without adding a friend.

-In this case, automatic friend addition may be possible, but it is also possible to set whether or not to make automatic friend recommendation by user's personal setting.

I. How to add a friend 2

-In this case, friends A and B have phone numbers, so they are automatically added.

-However, depending on your personal settings, you can switch to the method of adding friends.

2. Add a friend 2

-A address book has B's phone number.

There is no A phone number in the B address book.

-If there is only one phone number on one side, automatic friend addition is not possible.

3. Spam protection

There is no B number in the A address book.

There is no A number in the B address book.

This is the problem.

In this case, A will shoot TalkTalkLive messages that are randomly free text to a number of good B.

Annoyed B no longer uses this service.

-TalkTalkLive, however, places a limit on TalkTalkLive messages sent randomly by users who haven't added friends.

This is where the business model comes from.

4. Business Model I

Spammers who want to send randomly can send only 100 TalkTalkLive messages per month to an unspecified number of people who don't know they aren't registered. Of course, this number is the same for ordinary good users.

But spammers and advertisers want to advertise a large amount of TalkTalkLive messages for more than 100 per month (for example). Therefore, advertisers who want to send TalkTalkLive messages in bulk can purchase and send TalkTalkLive messages.

TalkTalkLive messages can be sold on a pay-as-you-go or flat-rate basis, and spammers or advertisers can purchase TalkTalkLive messages to send ads to multiple users.

5. Advertiser Benefits Points

Advertisers who provide immediate benefits to their users will increase their ad fidelity as they receive immediate benefits.

-As a result, the user selects an advertisement as needed, so the advertiser can see the effect of the advertisement more than the cost of the purchased text.

6. Business Model II

In this way, the user is annoyed to receive a lot of spam or advertising text a day.

-TalkTalkLive, however, can be configured to filter out spam or advertisement text sent from users other than friends by personal settings.

-However, this can filter your friend's changed phone number as spam.

end. If you are not a registered friend,

I. Filter only for spam registered numbers,

All. Phone numbers registered as spammers on the server or recognized as spammers are automatically or manually filtered by personal settings,

You can filter by setting.

But some users may need real advertising or need useful information. Therefore, a user who wants to receive an advertisement can receive the advertisement but accumulate as much as the number of advertisements received, and later exchange it for cash or a gift.

-Depending on the user's desired setting value, the accumulated reserves may have a setting that can be spent discounted to the next month's communication fee.

7. User Benefits Points

There are also many cases where you can send a message to an unregistered friend despite being a normal user.

In this case, a method of texting a friend who has not registered with the number of advertisements is added.

end. In other words, anyone who subscribes to TalkTalkLive can send 100 free text messages a month to users who do not have additional friends.

I. Less than a week later, I used up 100 cases a month.

All. If so, should I pay for it (such as flat or pay-as-you-go) and buy TalkTalkLive messages? no!!!

la. In Settings, you can set to convert your sent advertising messages to free TalkTalkLive messages.

hemp. Free TalkTalkLive message points accumulate as soon as you receive an ad, so you can recharge that number and send free TalkTalkLive messages to unregistered users at will.

bar. Receive Ads-> Policy for Earning Free TalkTalkLive Message Points,

1) instant conversion,

2) Next day, after 24 hours, next week, next month, or after a certain time,

3) When a certain amount or points are accumulated and convertible amounts are collected,

4) If the number of ad messages opened or the number of clicks meets a certain amount, the conversion,

, Etc., can provide users with free text benefits.

-If you do not receive an advertisement, or if you can receive but do not want to receive it, you can use it by charging free text at a very cheap price according to the sales policy such as a subscription or pay-as-you-go.

8. Business Model III

TalkTalkLive connects the conversations between users with a schedule server.

-It may have revenue such as advertisement text purchase cost of advertiser, additional text purchase cost of general user, and support the sale of conversation content provided as an additional function, and may have the revenue of conversation content fee of the amount sold.

9. TalkTalkLive  Benefit points

TalkTalkLive has revenue from text sales and commissions from content sales.

la. How to insert the ad into the chat bubble background in the chat window,

hemp. If a particular word or vocabulary is spoken in a conversation, change the color or font size of the word or vocabulary, or use various still or moving images or sound effects,

bar. When a specific word or vocabulary comes out of the conversation, the method moves to the advertisement screen when the word or vocabulary is touched or selected using various methods such as changing the color or font size of the word or vocabulary,

There are a variety of ways to advertise.

-The user can set this ad to

end. Make the ad itself invisible,

I. To show only parts of it (for example, make pop-ups visible, not speech bubbles, etc.),

All. Make sure you see the ads you want (by setting, you can see ads for categories you choose or keywords you choose),

la. Ads that your friends recommend will be visible (i.e. you'll see the same settings as your friend's settings-when you talk with them, you'll be able to see your friends' settings).

hemp. If you set the ad to be visible within the app, the TalkTalkLive ad window will always be visible, and in addition to 100 free texts, 200 additional free texts (expected figures, the number can be adjusted according to policy) will be paid.

By applying such a method, the advertisement effect can be maximized and users can be benefited.

-TalkTalkLive ads can give users free text benefits in proportion to the amount of advertising they see, so users can see as many free text benefits as they would with regular text message ads and TalkTalkLive ads. In addition to free text benefits, users who want to get back points or money can benefit by returning a certain amount of money, or by discounting the next month's communication fee by the set value.

10. Referral Message

-Since the phone number is based, you can text or chat or chat for free with the number you want.

-If the other party is not subscribed to the user (ask or not depending on the setting value) is automatically sent to the text message is sent, in this case (also according to the setting value) to send the invitation letter to the other party who did not subscribe automatically Will be sent.

-If you sign up OK, go to sites such as Android Market or App Store and earn a certain amount of reserve for the recommended user after installing the program, or discount a certain amount on the communication fee for next month.

11. International communication

-Since it is a phone number-based service, it has its own telecommunications company. Therefore, if you talk to a friend in your country using TalkTalkLive, you can talk without having an international or country code.

-However, in case of foreign friends, the TalkTalkLive server automatically connects the friend to the corresponding country because you already have the country code when you register as a user or register a friend.

12. non-smartphone

-Even in the case of a communication terminal other than a smartphone, it has a unique serial number or IP address, so it can be registered and used like a telephone number.

-It is also based on a phone number, but can be sent using an ID or nickname in addition to the phone number.

-Also, if you receive a general text message from B on the A device with TalkTalkLive, open the TalkTalkLive program window to show TalkTalkLive messages instead of opening the text message window. When you send it, it is automatically sent to B as a text message (the process is added by a personal setting to notify you that you are sending a plain text message and to confirm whether you are sending it.)

-So A user doesn't have to bother with TalkTalkLive from text messaging program window. If you receive from TalkTalkLive without setting the number of unreceived text messages by '+1', you can control the text message in TalkTalkLive and do not increase the number of unreceived text messages.

13. Additional features

-TalkTalkLive gives users various additional functions. For example, you can talk with friends by including movie pronouns, drama pronouns, gag buzzwords, buzzwords such as TV or radio, general buzzwords, and buzzwords between friends or lovers.

-These dialogues and buzzwords can be shared among users, posted on the TalkTalkLive server, or given the recommendation of users through contests. Therefore, it is possible to sell or purchase their own content by individuals or groups. At this time, the sold personal content may or may not have a copyright, and a certain portion of the sold amount may be held by TalkTalkLive as a fee, and may also include a transfer payment service.

-The above various conversation contents can be communicated by drawing, picture, music, video, cartoon, moving picture, user's own drawing, moving text character emoticon, etc. In fact, this content alone can be a 100% conversation between friends.

-You can receive content from the TalkTalkLive server, the web, the Internet, and send it by specifying a URL, and you can instantly transform the content stored in your smartphone or other device and use it for conversation.

end. A enters the phone number of B along with the chat and presses send or enter. Select B from your device's address book or TalkTalkLive's address book (registered as a friend), or enter a phone number if you are not in the address book.

I. At this time, B's phone number and message content are transmitted from TalkTalkLive's A to TalkTalkLive server.

All. When TalkTalkLive's phone number is retrieved from the TalkTalkLive server and confirmed to be registered, the TalkTalkLive server sends a TalkTalkLive message to B (or B gets the TalkTalkLive message).

la. If B's phone number is not found on the TalkTalkLive server, delete all B's phone number and TalkTalkLive message content sent to the server, and then inform A that B is an unregistered user (or A gets this content). .

hemp. A's TalkTalkLive will then automatically process the phone number and TalkTalkLive message content internally and export it as a text message. At this time, the user is notified that B is not registered according to the set value, and asks whether to send a text message. If the setting value is set as "Unconditional export without asking whether to convert the text message", this step is skipped and sent as a text message, thus eliminating user's hassle.

bar. If B receives a text message and sends a text message to A as a reply, A executes TalkTalkLive to convert the received text message into a TalkTalkLive message and displays the conversation in a timeline or the like. At this time, whether or not the number of unreceived text messages of A may be '+1' according to the set value, or "has already been received".

four. At this time, if the conversation is in the form of a text message in the chat window of the TalkTalkLive application, A displays different text colors or fonts, and when touched, launches the text message application to view the text message in its original form. do.

-All can use mobile communication networks (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc.) or wired and wireless communication networks such as Wi-Fi or WiBro.

17-1. Entity concept

-A Main Entity that a user initially subscribes to becomes a Parent Entity.

After that, when this user joins with another entity, it is very cumbersome to manage neighbors or friends separately for each contact.

Therefore, we put the concept of Entity.

-Parent Entity: Subscription information first registered by a user as a Main Entity

-Child Entity: Subscription information when the same user joins another Sub Entity after joining Parent Entity

17-2. Entity Connectivity

-If you add another child entity after joining with parent entity information, it becomes very difficult to manage individual contacts whenever one entity increases.

Parent Entity is an administrator that manages child entities.

Therefore, Parent Entity can set Connectivity for Child Entity.

-The Parent Entity can send an invitation to the Child Entity and the Child Entity can request an invitation to the Parent Entity.

-Only parent entity can have approval for all dispatch or request.

When the parent entity completes the approval, the child entity is connected to the parent entity. Once connected, you can share or share contacts according to their settings.

17-3. Entity Management

-Each connected Parent and Child Entity are connected to Family, and Child Entity can add / share / delete / separate each other's contacts by Parent Entity, and at any time after each Child Entity is connected to Family Can be added / independent / detached / deleted / merged.

-At the request of a user, a parent entity can be changed to a child entity, deleted, or hidden after granting a parent to one of the child entities.

17-4. Message sharing between entities

-Parent and Child Entity can set whether to share the message received from the shared contact (friend) or deliver it only to a specific entity.

-This setting can only be set by the Parent Entity. In the situation where the Parent Entity does not have a Child Entity, the setting can be changed after connecting to the Parent Entity through the web.

Thus, with proper configuration, a user can control various devices and send and receive messages from each device.
