DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing an overall system for a monitoring notification message providing service according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are diagrams showing a monitoring notification message And a message processing procedure.

Referring to FIG. 1, the overall system includes a monitored terminal 10, a monitor terminal 20, and a monitoring server 30.

The monitoring target terminal 10 may be a smartphone, a tablet PC, or the like having mobility as well as a general personal computer (PC), for example, as a computing device to be used by a surveillance target to be monitored by a child.

An agent program for monitoring (hereinafter referred to as a monitoring program) is installed in the monitoring target terminal 10. When an event such as a connection to a specific site or a departure to a specific area occurs, the monitoring program generates event information, (30). For example, if a child goes out of a predetermined area (school, school, house, etc.) based on the location of the adult site or the location measured by the provided location measurement means And transmits the generated information to the monitoring server 30. In addition to the above example, the agent program can generate event information according to various conditions. For example, the agent program may generate an event according to monitoring when a specific program is executed, when it is used in a predetermined time zone, and so on. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that all event elements for monitoring the use status of a specific computing device can be equally used.

The monitoring server 30 generates a notification message according to the event information received from the monitoring target terminal 10 and provides the notification message to the monitor terminal 20. Therefore, the monitor terminal 20 can know the usage status of the monitored terminal 10 at the remote location.

Here, the monitor terminal 20 may immediately process the reception alarm and the output for the received notification message, but according to the present invention, the monitor terminal 20 may perform output processing according to a specific condition.

2, when the monitor terminal 20 receives the notification message according to the monitoring service for the monitored terminal 10 (S10), the monitor terminal 20 monitors the monitoring terminal 20 Recognizes the target and stores a notification message corresponding to the target of monitoring (S20). For example, if the monitoring target terminal 10 is a mobile phone of [Hong Gil-dong] and the monitoring server 30 receives a notification message of [Hong Gil-dong] mobile phone, In case of receiving, the received notification message is stored so as to correspond to [Hong Gil-dong].

Thereafter, the monitor terminal 20 determines whether communication with the monitoring target is performed (S30), and outputs a notification message when communication with the monitored target as the communication target is executed (S40). That is, in addition to a basic communication program of a mobile phone such as a telephone program using a telephone number and a text messaging program, communication with other terminals such as a kakao chat, a line, and a band having an account is performed through voice communication, video communication, When an application communication program capable of being executed is executed, a notification message is output when a monitoring target is selected as a communication partner. For example, when a user executes a telephone program and selects a contact object to be monitored as a telephone conversation partner, the notification message is displayed on the screen at that time. Of course, the monitor terminal 20 must have information for communication such as a telephone number, a messenger ID, and the like in advance as information on a monitoring target.

In other words, the output processing of the received notification message is suspended until communication with the monitoring target is performed. Accordingly, the user of the monitor terminal 20 confirms the notification message when it is necessary to perform communication with the monitored object. This means that the notification message can be confirmed at an actually required time, It is possible to eliminate fatigue caused by a notification message received at a busy time.

According to another embodiment, as shown in the figure, even when communication with the monitoring target is not performed, the output of the received notification message may be processed when the waiting time elapses. For example, when one hour has elapsed since the reception of the notification message, a notification message is displayed on the screen together with the reception alarm for the notification message. According to an example, the wait time may vary depending on the number of received notification messages. As a concrete example, if there are more than 5 received notification messages that are not output processed, the waiting time is set to 30 minutes based on the time point, and if it is 5 or less, 3 The waiting time can be set in time. As another example, the monitor terminal 20 may measure the current position and set the waiting time according to the current position. For example, the waiting time may be set to 3 hours if the current location is the [work] area preset by the user, and the waiting time may be set to 1 hour if the current location is other area. The method for measuring the position may be variously used such as a method using a GPS receiver, a triangulation method using a base station of a mobile communication network, and a measuring method by communicating with a neighbor AP (access point), which is not related to the main feature of the present invention And therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The monitor terminal 20 can output a notification message in different ways according to the type and execution method of the communication program to be executed.

For example, when the executed communication program is a telephone program, the notification message can be voice-converted using a text-to-speech (TTS) technique and output. If the communication program is a message transmission / reception program for transmitting / receiving a message such as a text message program, a messenger program such as a kakao talk (KAKAO TALK) or a line, a notification message is displayed on a message reception screen can do. For convenience of understanding, for example, a text message is displayed on an interface screen that displays a received text message from a monitored subject, such as a text message received from a monitored subject. Of course, the display may be displayed in a different shape or color so as to be distinguished from a text message received from an actual monitoring target.

The output process of the notification message may be different depending on whether the communication program is spontaneously executed by the user or executed by a request from the communication counterpart. Referring to FIG. 3 showing an embodiment according to this example, when the monitor terminal 20 recognizes the execution of the telephone program (S41), it determines whether or not the telephone call is originated (S43). That is, it is judged whether the executed telephone program is for a telephone call or for processing an incoming telephone call.

If the caller is a caller, the notification message is converted into a ring back tone (usually called a ring back tone or a ring tone) corresponding to the call connection with the other party (that is, the object to be monitored). Generally, when a telephone call is connected, when a call is connected to the other party's terminal, an incoming ring is performed in the other party's terminal, and a ringback tone signal is outputted in the terminal of the caller. The mobile communication company also provides a service for outputting the sound source set by the calling party as a ring back tone signal. The ring back tone will be apparent to those skilled in the art, so a more detailed description thereof will be omitted. According to the present embodiment, the user (for example, the parent) of the monitor terminal 20 hears a notification message as a ringback tone when performing a telephone connection with a monitored object, There is no need to spend time to confirm. According to another embodiment, the notification message may be voiced and the processing may be different depending on the time (hereinafter, output time) for outputting the voice message. For example, if the output time is within 15 seconds, the notification message is replaced with the ringback tone. If the output time exceeds 15 seconds, the notification message is output before the call connection. Alternatively, some of the alerting messages may be outputted before the call connection, and some of them may be replaced with the ring back tone.

On the other hand, if the incoming call is from a non-calling target, the notification message is displayed on the screen (S47). Generally, when a call is received, the information (telephone number, etc.) about the caller is displayed on the screen. At this time, a notification message is displayed on the screen. Therefore, the user can check the notification message before receiving the call.

In addition, according to an example, when the received notification message is a preset emergency message, the output process may be different. For example, in order to allow the user to immediately recognize the alarm message, And a notification message is displayed. Alternatively, when the monitor terminal 20 is in the sleep state and is released, the notification message may be output so that the user can recognize the message. When the emergency message is received as a notification message, the monitor terminal 20 may automatically send a telephone call to the telephone number according to the monitored person.

The monitoring server 30 may acquire the location information of the monitored terminal 10 from time to time and provide the location information to the monitor terminal 20 together with the notification message. Is not a preset area, the notification message may be processed as an emergency message as described above and output processing may be performed.

The method of processing a monitoring notification message according to the present invention can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording media storing data that can be decoded by a computer system. For example, it may be a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk, a flash memory, an optical data storage device, or the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed and executed in a computer system connected to a computer network, and may be stored and executed as a code readable in a distributed manner.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that various modifications and changes may be made.
