Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preventing voice phishing using verified caller information,

The present invention provides a method executed by a server capable of communicating with a called terminal, comprising the steps of: storing, in a storage medium, caller information including a calling number and a caller name, Wherein the call connection information includes at least one of a called party number and a called party number. The call connection method includes: The originating number of the request is verified and checked to see if it is matched with the originating number of the caller previously verified through the storage medium. If the call connection request is a call connection request of the verified caller, When a call connection is established, a call is made to the called terminal before a voice call is started between the called terminal and the calling terminal If the call connection request is not a call connection request of a caller who has been verified in advance, the call terminal of the called terminal confirms whether a transmission sound similar to the designated transmission sound is transmitted from the calling terminal side And a method for preventing voice phishing using the verified caller information for processing such that the state information designated to the called terminal is provided when a similar outgoing voice is confirmed.

Voice Pishing is a new term that combines voice, private data, and fishing. It is a new type of crime such as illegally retrieving personal information or requesting remittance by phone. It is used in the broad sense of 'phone fraud'.

For example, it is often the case that a person is required to remind a public institution or a financial institution to remit an overdue amount or, on the contrary, to refund the tax or insurance premium and request personal information. In fact, And the number of cases of secondary crime damage caused by personal information leaked is increasing steadily, which is becoming a social problem.

In particular, when a caller (a potential fraudster) impersonates a public agency (such as a city hall, a ward office, a court, a police station, a post office or a National Pension Corporation) or a prominent company (such as a communication company, a credit card company, a bank or an insurance company) If you talk like a citizen or a customer on the basis of the base, the possibility that the called party becomes deceptive becomes bigger.

Various techniques for preventing such voice phishing (call fraud) have already been proposed. The most representative one is Caller Identification Presentation Supplementary Service.

The calling number display service, also called a CID (Caller ID), is a service in which, when an incoming call is made, the number of the calling terminal is displayed on the liquid crystal display of the called terminal, whereby the called party can confirm the phone number of the called party, You can also redial a call that has been placed on the phone later. Especially, when a call comes from a calling terminal already stored in a called terminal, the name and the stored picture information can be confirmed.

However, if the calling number display service is not a known number or a stored number, the calling number display service can not know who the calling party is before receiving the call, and can call the calling number while hiding the calling number by inputting a specific key on the calling terminal. In this case, the called party can choose not to receive the call in order to avoid the call of the other party which can not be confirmed, but in the case of the salesperson, the call from the unrecorded person can not be avoided. Furthermore, In the case of a fixed line telephone (including some wireless telephones), the caller ID service itself is useless and the caller must receive the call without knowing the other party.

On the other hand, a service for showing the character information (or the image information) specified by the caller in advance (or registered) is also provided on the call receiving terminal so that the caller can check the information about the caller even if the caller does not know it, However, the present invention also has a function of providing the caller unconditionally to the called terminal when arbitrary designation of the character or image information is provided, but there is no device for verifying this. In other words, it is no different that a scammer is calling 'Seoul City Hall' after registering text information or deceiving 'Seoul City Hall' after receiving a call. Further, such a service also does not consider a wired telephone (including some wireless telephones) that does not have a liquid crystal screen.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method executed by a server capable of communicating with a called terminal, comprising the steps of: storing, in a storage medium, sender information including a calling number and a caller name, A second step of storing called party information including a called party number for a designated called party subscribed to the service, a third step of confirming a call connection request to the called party subscribed to the service, A fourth step of confirming a calling number of the call connection request when confirming a call connection request to the terminal and confirming whether the calling number matches a calling number of a verified caller through the storage medium; If the connection request is received, it is confirmed that the call connection of the called terminal is confirmed, Wherein the calling terminal sends a transmission sound designated to the called terminal before a voice call is started and if the call connection request is not a call connection request of the caller that has been verified in advance, And a fifth step of confirming whether or not a similar sound is sent out and processing the state information to be provided to the called terminal when a similar sound is confirmed.

In this way, when a caller other than the caller registered through the caller registration system records an identification sound provided by a communication company or a unique identification sound of a public institution or a company, and confuses the caller as if it is a caller registered in a communication company, It is possible to prevent the damage due to the voice phishing which is a social problem because the user can be alerted to the caller early.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a process of detecting caller identification tones and providing attention information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 15 illustrates a case where caller information corresponding to a caller number included in call connection request information provided by a calling terminal is stored in a storage medium through the registered caller identification sound providing process shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 12 The calling terminal detects a transmission sound to be transmitted from the calling terminal to the called terminal for a predetermined period of time and transmits the calling tone to the called terminal while the calling terminal is stored in the storage medium The present invention is directed to a method of providing attention information that warns the calling terminal by detecting whether or not a voice that is the same as or similar to the identification sound is transmitted. As a person skilled in the art, And the same or similar identification sound is stored in the storage medium It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings.

Hereinafter, in FIG. 15, the communication relay server shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14 is referred to as a "server" for the sake of convenience.

13 or FIG. 14, an explanation of the process of confirming the calling number included in the call connection request information transmitted from the calling terminal and confirming that the calling party is a registered caller and providing the identification sound to the called terminal is described with reference to FIG. 10 12, the duplicated description is omitted. FIG. 15 illustrates a process after the call channel between the calling terminal and the called terminal is connected, in which the caller is not registered in the communication relay system of FIG. 13 or FIG. will be.

Referring to FIG. 15, after a call channel is connected between a calling terminal and a called terminal, the server detects a transmission sound transmitted from the calling terminal to the called terminal for a predetermined time (1500).

When the transmission sound of the calling terminal is detected, the transmission sound of the detected calling terminal is compared with at least one or more identification sound information stored in the storage medium to determine whether identification sound information identical or similar to the transmission sound of the calling terminal is stored (1505).

Wherein the step of comparing the transmission sound of the calling terminal with the identification sound information comprises the steps of: comparing the voice frequency of the detected sound of the calling terminal with the identification sound (that is, the sound when the identification sound information is outputted) Lt; / RTI >

That is, the similarity can be confirmed by comparing the level of the voice of the calling terminal and the voice frequency of the identification sound, and if it is known to those skilled in the art, A technical feature of confirming whether the voice frequency is similar can be easily estimated, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted for the sake of convenience.

If it is confirmed in step 1510 that the identification sound information identical or similar to the transmission sound of the calling terminal is stored in the storage medium, the method of providing care information to the called terminal, Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a process of providing attention information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If it is confirmed through the procedure shown in FIG. 15 that the same or similar identification sound information as the transmission sound of the calling terminal is stored in the storage medium, the server transmits the identification tone information to the calling terminal, The attention information is provided to the called terminal (1600).

For example, in a state in which a call channel between the calling terminal and the called terminal is connected, it is possible to transmit a background sound of 'not a caller registered in a communication company' to the called terminal, or transmit a pre-stored specific sound in a background sound.

Such attention information may be stored in the storage medium or may be stored in separate attention information D / B associated with the communication relay server.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a process of providing attention information according to another embodiment of the present invention.

If it is confirmed through the process shown in FIG. 15 that the same or similar identification sound information as the transmission sound of the calling terminal is stored in the storage medium, it is checked whether the call channel connection between the calling terminal and the called terminal is released (1700) .

If the call channel connection between the calling terminal and the called terminal is canceled (1705), a message (SMS or MMS) including the state information is transmitted to the called terminal (1710). For example, a caller who has just called can send a text message (SMS or MMS) indicating that the caller is not a registered caller in the communication company.

18 is a diagram illustrating a process of providing attention information according to another embodiment of the present invention.

If it is confirmed through the procedure shown in FIG. 15 that the same or similar identification sound information as the transmission sound of the calling terminal is stored in the storage medium, it is checked whether the call channel connection between the calling terminal and the called terminal is released (1800) .

If the call channel connection between the calling terminal and the called terminal is canceled (1805), a call is requested to the called terminal and it is checked whether the call is terminated (1810).

If it is confirmed in step 1815 that the incoming call is received from the called terminal in response to the incoming call request, that is, if the called party receives a call, the voice message is provided to the called terminal in step 1820.

For example, a caller who has just called can send a voice message that the caller is not a registered caller at the communication company.

The technical configuration for providing the voice message to the called terminal can be performed through the ARS server. However, the caller information and the called party information are transmitted to the terminal of another employee (for example, a communication company employee employed for preventing voice phishing) , It may be possible to provide the called terminal with attention information (for example, after the call channel is released, the communication company employee calls the called terminal and requests attention).

If it is not confirmed that an incoming call is received in response to the incoming call request, the server transmits a message (SMS, MMS) including the state information to the called terminal so as to request attention (1825). For example, a caller who has just called can send a text message (SMS or MMS) indicating that the caller is not a registered caller in the communication company.

In this way, if a caller other than the registered sender records an identification sound provided by a communication company or a unique identification sound of a public institution or a company, and if the caller is confused as if the caller is a registered caller in the communication company, By being able to ask for attention, it is possible to prevent damage by voice phishing which becomes social problem.

The above-described embodiments are merely examples embodying the present invention, and thus the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above-described embodiments. In other words, the present invention should be construed as having a technical idea including the contents described in the claims and the equivalents of such contents.
