Description

Call connection system for vehicle owner

The present invention relates to a phone connection with a vehicle owner, and more particularly, to a technology that enables a caller to make a phone call with a vehicle owner without exposing the actual phone number of the vehicle owner through a parking license plate.

As suspicious part-time jobs that collect phone numbers of vehicles parked in parking lots of public institutions, large marts, and apartments are prevalent, there is a problem in which the phone number of the owner of the vehicle is collected by a third party. The vehicle owners' phone numbers collected in this way are exposed to promotional text messages and crimes, and the victims are complaining. However, the act of simply collecting phone numbers is difficult to crack down because it does not violate the Personal Information Protection Act, and there is currently no way to punish a part-time worker who receives money in return for collecting a phone number as an employee.

Due to this situation, the cases of using the current vehicle's phone number by changing it to a safe number are rapidly increasing. The safe number service is a service that creates an 11-digit virtual number starting with 050 instead of a personal phone number and matches it with a personal phone number. However, in the case of the safety number service, the personal phone number of the borrower is protected, but the personal phone number of the caller is not protected.

Meanwhile, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1260042 discloses a parking notification system and a parking notification method. The disclosed system includes a first mobile terminal, a parking notification database, and a parking notification server. The first mobile terminal subscribes to the parking notification service, recognizes a two-dimensional barcode attached to the vehicle, and requests a movement, and the parking notification database stores subscription information and unique code information for the two-dimensional barcode. And the parking notification server acquires the phone number information of the second user in response to the first unique code information, and transmits the second movement request information to the second mobile terminal based on this information, and when the moving time for the vehicle becomes longer, the second The second mobile terminal receives movement time information about the vehicle in response to the movement request information and transmits the information to the first mobile terminal. According to this, it is possible to move a parked vehicle without exposing the phone number of the vehicle owner.

The foregoing and further aspects of the present invention will become more apparent through preferred embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and reproduce it through these examples.

1 is a block diagram of a borrower phone connection system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , the borrower phone connection system includes a caller terminal 100 , a borrower terminal 200 , and a server system 300 . However, the borrower's telephone connection system does not necessarily include all of these components, and may include only some. In one embodiment, the borrower phone connection system refers only to the server system 300 . In another embodiment, the borrower phone connection system includes the server system 300 and the borrower application 210 installed and executed in the borrower terminal 200 .

The caller terminal 100 is a terminal used by a caller who wants to make a call because the owner of the parked vehicle has a business, and may be a communication terminal such as a smart phone. Here, the caller may be called a user or a civil petitioner who has a civil complaint about parking. The vehicle owner terminal 200 is a terminal owned by the vehicle owner, and may be a communication terminal such as a smart phone, like the caller terminal 100 . The server system 300 may include one or a plurality of servers, and may include a phone server 310 and a management server 320 as shown in FIG. 1 . The phone server 310 serves to establish a call path between the caller terminal 100 and the borrower terminal 200 to make a phone call between the caller and the borrower. In addition, the management server 320 works with the phone server 310 and serves to support a phone connection between the caller terminal 100 and the borrower terminal 200 . Meanwhile, the borrower app 210 is capable of data communication with the management server 320 . The borrower app 210 may receive a call list of the borrower's incoming call from the management server 320 , and provides a function that allows the borrower to call the caller again.

2 is a block diagram of a server system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2 , the server system 300 includes a database 400 , a first phone connection unit 500 , a borrower call list management unit 600 , a borrower call list provider 700 , and a second phone connection unit 900 . ) and a two-way telephone request reception unit 800 . All of these may be configured on a single server, or two or more may be configured distributed on a server. In one embodiment, when the server system 300 includes the phone server 310 and the management server 320 as shown in FIG. 1 , a part of the first phone connection unit 500 and the second phone connection unit 900 . is configured in the phone server 310 , and the rest is configured in the management server 320 .

In the database 400, the vehicle number and the vehicle owner's phone number are mapped and registered. Here, the vehicle number may be a part of the vehicle registration number. For example, in ‘12ga 4975’, ‘4975’ is the vehicle number, and the entire number is the vehicle registration number. Accordingly, in the database 400 , the vehicle owner's phone number may be mapped and registered for each vehicle registration number. The first phone connection unit 500 forms a first call channel between the caller terminal 100 and the server system 300 by connecting and receiving an outgoing call from the caller terminal 100 . When the first call channel is established, the first phone connection unit 500 requests and receives the vehicle number input from the caller terminal 100 through the first call channel. The first phone connection unit 500 searches the database 400 for a vehicle owner phone number mapped to a vehicle number received through the first call channel. If the search is successful, the first phone connection unit 500 designates the retrieved borrower phone number as a caller number and makes a call, and a second call channel is established according to the incoming call and response of the car owner terminal 200 . Then, the first phone connection unit 500 connects the first and second communication channels to form a communication path between the caller terminal 100 and the borrower terminal 200 . That is, the first telephone connection unit 500 connects the two channels as if they were one by internally connecting the first and second communication channels.

Meanwhile, as a result of the first phone connection unit 500 searching the database 400 for the vehicle number received through the first call channel, there may be two or more matching vehicle numbers. That is, there may be two or more vehicle registration numbers with the same vehicle number. In this case, the first phone connection unit 500 provides voice guidance of all searched vehicle registration numbers to the caller terminal 100 through the first call channel, and then one vehicle number can be specified from the caller terminal 100. . For example, the first phone connection unit 500 transmits a voice guidance message such as “If 72 da 4975, press 1, if 12 da 4975, press 2” to the caller terminal 100, the vehicle number (vehicle registration number) ) is specified. When the vehicle number is specified, the first telephone connection unit 500 searches the database 400 for the vehicle owner's phone number mapped to the specified vehicle number.

The borrower's call list management unit 600 stores and manages a call list for each borrower in the database 400 . In one embodiment, the borrower's call list management unit 600 transmits a call item including the caller's phone number assigned to the caller's phone number and the caller's phone number to the borrower's terminal 200 of the first telephone connection part 500 to the borrower's call. Register on the list. In another embodiment, the borrower call list management unit 600 corresponds to a call item including the incoming time and the caller's phone number of the borrower terminal 200 according to the call originating from the first phone connection unit 500 to the borrower terminal 200 . Register in the borrower's call list. The calling time and incoming time are registered as public information, and the caller's phone number is registered privately. Additionally, the call item may include a call time in addition to a call time (or call time) and a caller's phone number. Of course, the talk time may be included only when a call is made, and is not included when a call is not made. And the talk time is registered as public information.

The borrower's call list providing unit 700 provides the corresponding borrower's call list to the borrower's terminal 200 . In an embodiment, when there is a borrower call list request from the borrower app 210 through the data communication network, the borrower call list providing unit 700 retrieves the borrower call list from the database 400 and sends it to the borrower app 210 . transmit Accordingly, the borrower app 210 may receive and display the borrower's call list on the screen. 3 illustrates an example of a call list displayed on the screen by the vehicle owner, and through this, the vehicle owner can know the time the call was made in relation to parking. Also, if the caller's phone number is unknown but the borrower selects the 'Call' button, the car owner app 210 transmits the caller's phone number to the server system 300 and requests a two-way phone connection. In this case, the borrower's phone number may also be transmitted.

The two-way phone request reception unit 800 receives a request for a two-way phone connection from the borrower app 210 of the borrower terminal 200 . In this case, the caller's phone number is received along with the reception of the two-way call connection request, and the borrower's phone number may also be received. The second phone connection unit 900 sends a call to the borrower terminal 200 to which the borrower phone number is assigned and the caller terminal 100 to which the caller phone number is assigned according to the two-way phone connection request reception of the two-way call request reception unit 800, respectively. do. Accordingly, when the borrower terminal 200 receives and responds to an incoming call, a third call channel is formed between the server system 300 and the borrower terminal 200, and when the caller terminal 100 receives and responds to an incoming call, the server system 300 and the caller terminal ( 100), a fourth call channel is formed. When the third call channel and the fourth call channel are formed, the second phone connection unit 900 connects the third call channel and the fourth call channel to form a call path between the borrower terminal 200 and the caller terminal 100 , Complete the phone connection.

Additionally, in the database 400 , one or more call-prohibited phone numbers in addition to the vehicle number and the owner's phone number may be mapped together. The call prohibition phone number may be a phone number registered by the borrower. And the first phone connection unit 500 searches the database 400 for the vehicle number transmitted from the caller terminal 100, and if there is an incoming prohibited phone number mapped to the searched vehicle number, the caller's phone number and the incoming prohibited call Compares whether numbers match. Only when the comparison result does not match, the first telephone connection unit 500 transmits a call to the borrower terminal 200 using the borrower's phone number. This way, the borrower can block specific callers who are maliciously calling, regardless of parking.

4 is a diagram illustrating a telephone connection procedure between a caller and a vehicle owner in response to a caller's request according to an exemplary embodiment. The caller checks the phone number written on the owner's vehicle and tries to make a call using that phone number. That is, the caller terminal 100 designates 02-1234-1234 input by the caller as the called number and transmits the call. Here, 02-1234-1234 is a representative phone number of the phone server 310 . The phone server 310 receives and responds to an outgoing call from the caller terminal 100 to form a first call channel with the caller terminal 100, and guides the parking management service to the caller terminal 100 through the first call channel and a voice guidance message requesting input of a vehicle number. In response, the sender enters the vehicle number ‘4975’. For reference, the parking management service guide may include information on a phone connection with the vehicle owner, and the caller may request a phone connection with the vehicle owner by inputting a number key according to the guidance. In addition, the key input procedure for the phone connection request may be performed before or after the vehicle number input.

The phone server 310 transmits the vehicle number input by the caller to the management server 320 and requests the vehicle owner's phone number. The management server 320 searches the database 330 for the vehicle number received from the phone server 310, checks the vehicle owner phone number '010-1234-5678' mapped to the searched vehicle number '4975', and checks the phone server ( 310). In this case, if two or more vehicle numbers are searched for, a process of specifying one of the two or more vehicle numbers may be performed. In addition, the management server 320 may also perform a process of confirming whether the caller's phone number is a call-prohibited phone number or not, and only when it is not a call-prohibited phone number, the borrower's phone number can be transferred to the phone server 310. there is.

The phone server 310 receives the borrower's phone number from the management server 320, and designates the received borrower's phone number as a destination number to make a call. Accordingly, the borrower terminal 200 receives an incoming call, and a second call channel is established between the phone server 310 and the management server 320 according to the owner's response. Finally, the phone server 310 connects the first call channel and the second call channel so that a call is connected between the caller and the borrower.

According to the above, only 02-1234-1234 is displayed on the borrower terminal 200 , and the actual caller's phone number is not displayed on the borrower terminal 200 . This is because the caller does not directly call the borrower. Also, the actual phone number of the borrower is not exposed to the caller. This is because 02-1234-1234 is written on the license plate of the vehicle owner, not the actual phone number of the owner. In this way, the caller and the borrower can make a phone call without exposing the caller's phone number and the borrower's phone number to each other.

5 is a diagram illustrating a phone connection procedure between a borrower and a previous caller in response to a borrower's request according to an exemplary embodiment. According to the procedure of FIG. 4 , the management server 320 registers a call item including the call time of the phone server 310 to the borrower terminal 200 and the phone number of the caller terminal 100 in the borrower call list, and the borrower call The list is provided to the borrower app 210 . For example, the call item includes the incoming time of the borrower terminal 200 instead of the outgoing time. The borrower app 210 displays the borrower call list as shown in FIG. 3 on the screen so that the borrower can check it, and when a call item is selected by the borrower, the borrower app 210 stores the caller's phone number of the call item on the management server 320 ) to request a call (two-way phone connection).

When a call request is received from the borrower app 210 , the management server 320 transmits the caller's phone number and the phone number of the borrower's terminal 200 to the phone server 310 . For reference, since the borrower is registered as a member in the management server 320 , the borrower's phone number may be confirmed by itself in the management server 320 , or may be received along with the caller's phone number from the borrower's app 210 . . The phone server 310 designates the borrower's phone number and the caller's phone number received from the management server 320 as destination numbers, respectively, and makes calls. Thereafter, when the borrower terminal 200 receives and answers a call, a third call channel is formed between the phone server 310 and the borrower terminal 200 , and when the caller terminal 100 receives and answers a call, the call server 310 and A fourth call channel is formed between the caller terminals 100 . When the third and fourth communication channels are established, the phone server 310 connects the third and fourth communication channels to complete a phone connection between the borrower and the caller.
