The data generator 110 generates NFC data including NFC information input by the caller. For example, the NFC information may be a URL, a phone number, an e-mail address, music, a video, an image, a security phrase, an office document, and the like. Meanwhile, the NFC data may generate an NFC data including an NFC information and an icon by adding an icon.

The message generator 120 combines the NFC data generated from the data generator 110 and the text message generated from the message generator 120 to generate an NFC text message. For example, a caller may input a text message to be transmitted, receive NFC data generated from the data generator 110, and generate the NFC text message by combining the text message with the NFC data. At this time, the content of the NFC data is not displayed in the NFC text message, so that the text message itself or an icon. For example, when the NFC data is interlocked with the text message and touches the text message, the NFC data may be executed to execute the NFC information. In addition, when the icon connected to the NFC information is added to the NFC data, the NFC information may be linked to the icon displayed on the text message so that the NFC information may be executed when the receiver touches the icon. In another example, when NFC tagging information is added to an icon and the icon is displayed on the screen of the first NFC terminal, NFC tagging information is activated to make NFC information to the second NFC terminal when the NFC tag is in close contact with the second NFC terminal. Send and the operation by the NFC information in the second NFC terminal can be executed.

The message transmitter 130 transmits the NFC text message generated from the message generator 120 to the NFC terminal. For example, the message transmitter 130 may input a contact of a user to be sent and transmit the same using a mobile communication network. In addition, the message transmitter 130 may simultaneously transmit a text message to a plurality of users. In addition, the message transmitter 130 may select and send all or part of the members registered in the contact network stored in the database 150.

The NFC terminal 200 is a device that can receive an NFC text message from the NFC message service providing server 100 and display it on a screen. For example, the NFC terminal 200 may be a mobile device that can receive a text message through a mobile communication network. For example, the NFC terminal 200 may be a smartphone including a short range communication chip. In addition, the NFC terminal 200 may be a tablet device including a communication function. Meanwhile, the NFC terminal 200 may display only the received text message or add an icon to display the text message together with the icon. The NFC text message may allow the NFC information to be linked with the text message or add an icon so that the icon and the NFC information are linked to each other. When the icon is used as described above, the contents of the text message are displayed together with the icon. In this case, when the user touches the text message or the icon, NFC information linked to the text message or the icon is executed. That is, when a user using the NFC terminal touches a text message or an icon to check a text message and executes the NFC information (URL, phone number, email, music, Oriental character, image, security phrase, office) Document). For example, when the operation according to the NFC information is a URL, the mobile access is executed with the input URL address. On the other hand, the phone number is automatically dialed to make a call to the entered phone number. Meanwhile, in the case of an e-mail, an e-mail program is executed to compose an e-mail using the input e-mail address as a recipient. Meanwhile, in the case of music or video, a media player is executed to play the music or video, and in the case of a picture, an image viewer program is executed to display an image. In addition, in the case of a security phrase, a security program can be operated. In addition, in the case of office documents, the installed office program is executed so that the office documents can be read or modified.

On the other hand, the NFC terminal 200 may include near field communication between NFC terminals including an NFC communication chip. For example, there is a first NFC terminal 210 and the second NFC terminal 220, when the NFC text message is transmitted to the first NFC terminal 210 and the second NFC terminal ( Tagging 220 may allow the second NFC terminal 220 to execute an operation by the NFC information. In this case, when the icon is displayed on the first NFC terminal 210, the first NFC terminal 210 is in a state in which tagging preparation is completed by tagging information, and at this time, the second NFC terminal 220 is connected to the first NFC. The first NFC terminal 210 recognizes the second NFC terminal 220 and transmits the NFC information coupled to the text message so that the first NFC terminal 210 may be executed in the second NFC terminal.

Here, the NFC communication method is one of the short-range communication method is a contactless short-range wireless communication using a frequency of 13.56MHz. NFC performs data transmission, payment, and security functions between terminals through tagging between terminals at a short distance within 10 cm. Here, tagging means access or contact for transmitting data between terminals.

Again, the NFC message service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing an NFC message service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 2, NFC message service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of generating NFC data including NFC information and icons in the data generating unit of the NFC message service providing server (S110), and Combining the NFC data and the text message in the message generating unit of the NFC message service providing server (S120), and the text message containing the NFC data and icons in the message transmission unit of the NFC message service providing server to the NFC terminal The step (S130) and the step of executing the operation according to the NFC information in accordance with the execution of the user in the NFC terminal received the text message (S210).

That is, NFC data input by the sender is input to generate NFC data so that the data generation unit can interoperate with the NFC information with the icon (S110). In addition, a text message input by the sender is input to generate a text message in the message generator. In the message generating unit receiving both the NFC data and the text message as described above, the NFC data and the text message are combined to generate an NFC text message (S120). Next, the sender selects a contact stored in a database or directly inputs an additional NFC text message to which the combining is completed to the NFC terminal through the message transmitter (S130).

The NFC terminal receiving the text message executes the operation according to the NFC information according to the execution of the recipient (S210). For example, the recipient may check NFC information operated by directly touching a message or an icon (S211). In addition, the recipient may transfer NFC information through tagging with another user's NFC terminal (S212).

Can be.

On the screen 310 in which the contact information of the recipient is sorted, the contacts stored in the database are previously sorted. For example, a text message may be sent by selecting a recipient to which the text message is to be sent. The recipient can select all or only some of them. On the other hand, when sending a large number of the text message can be linked with the contact of the database so that the name described in the contact can be linked with the text message. That is, when a text message is sent to each contact, a name stored together with the contact may be automatically input to the contents of the text message.

In the screen 320 for adding the NFC information, the caller inputs and adds the necessary NFC information. For example, when a URL is input, the URL indicates a connection address that can be accessed when NFC data is executed, and allows the user to move to a site to be connected through a mobile Internet connection. For example, the connected site may be used as a market advertisement, location display, delivery inquiry, discount coupon, or the like. In addition, when a phone number is entered, the phone number entered during NFC data execution can be dialed. At this time, when only the call button in the first NFC terminal, the dial is displayed so that the user can directly call the phone number input to the NFC data. For example, the dialed telephone number may be utilized for proxy driving, delivery advertisement, telemarketing, and the like. In addition, if the e-mail address is entered, the e-mail sending program built in the NFC terminal is started so that the e-mail can be sent to the e-mail address entered when the NFC data is executed. For example, the e-mail sending may be used as an e-mail inquiry, after-sales inquiry, customer service. Also, when the music or video is attached, the media player is executed to play the attached music or video when NFC data is executed. For example, it can be used to deliver advertising messages or information messages using sound or video. In addition, when an image or a picture is attached, an image viewer is executed when NFC data is executed to display the attached image or picture. For example, it is utilized to deliver an advertisement or information by attaching and executing an advertisement image or a photograph of itself. In addition, when the security phrase is attached, the attached security program is executed. For example, if you deliver sensitive information, you can run a security program to protect it. When the office document is attached, the installed office program is executed to open the attached office document. For example, it may be used to attach an official document, an advertisement, a description, and the like.

The screen 330 for inputting a message is a screen for the user to directly create a text message, and may input an advertisement message or an information message.

When transmitting the NFC text message as described above, only the contents of the text message input by the caller are exposed on the NFC terminal receiving the NFC text message, and the icon is exposed as necessary. On the other hand, NFC information is executed according to the operation of the NFC terminal user. That is, the NFC data may be executed by directly touching the text message or by touching an icon displayed on the text message. In addition, NFC data may be executed in another terminal through tagging with another NFC terminal.

Meanwhile, the tagging between NFC terminals will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the first NFC terminal and the second NFC terminal includes an NFC chip capable of short-range communication with each other.

The message transmitter transmits the text message including the NFC data to the first NFC terminal. The text message is displayed on the screen of the first NFC terminal. At this time, it may be transmitted including the icon to determine the text message containing the NFC data. The first NFC terminal displays the contents of the text message created by the text message sender, the contents of the NFC data are not displayed, and the icon is displayed. When tagging with the second NFC terminal while the text message and the icon are displayed as described above, the first NFC terminal transmits the NFC information to the second NFC terminal so that the NFC information is executed on the second NFC terminal. At this time, the contents of the text message transmitted to the first NFC terminal may be transmitted, and the content of the text message may be applied as necessary. By transmitting information through tagging between users as described above, there is no additional cost for information delivery, and it is possible to simply transmit information without complicated procedures, so it is easy to propagate advertisement or information by users, and thus high advertisement effect can be obtained. have.
