System for providing message transmission and reception service using message waiting area {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MESSAGE TRANSMITTING SERVICE USING MESSAGE STANDBY STATION}

The present invention relates to a system for providing a message transmission/reception service using a message waiting area, and provides a platform that enables a receiving terminal to competitively receive message contents after waiting for message contents in a message waiting area when transmitting message contents to an unspecified number of people.

With the development of information and communication technology and the spread of smart devices around the world, various types of social media have emerged. The Internet and SNS have been used as the main means of communication by people, and companies are also using various SNS channels as a tool for communication and promotion, and social media has become the most influential marketing channel since the advent of smartphones. In addition, the Internet has completely changed the way people search for information and communicate with others, and it is rapidly becoming one of the primary means of social interaction and sharing information. As IT technology develops further, social media transcends the boundaries between mass media and personal media, allowing users to communicate not only with one person, but also with millions or tens of millions of people. Because of this convenience, users use social media, such as online communities, to share new content and network with other users.

At this time, a method of increasing the reception rate of a message by setting a target for receiving a message and then delivering the message or providing a reward according to message reception has been researched and developed. Published on July 08) and Korea Patent Publication No. 2009-0105799 (published on October 7, 2009), a message reception target is set based on pre-established personal information, and a response is transmitted from the receiving terminal In the case of a configuration in which a fee is paid to a personal information provider according to the response amount of the received response, and a service in which an advertisement is inserted into the idle space of the received message whenever a message is received by the user terminal, the message is received by the user terminal. A configuration for inserting an advertisement each time and providing a reward to a user terminal according to the number of received messages is disclosed.

However, in the former case, since the collection of personal information is premised to set the receiving target, various restrictions in accordance with related laws occur. It is unknown whether the received message will be delivered effectively. In recent social media communities, there are many cases of holding meetings or sending messages under real name or anonymously, but it is still unknown whether an unspecified number or a specific number of people will see the message. Therefore, research and development of a solution for increasing the reception rate is required when message contents are created targeting an unspecified number of people.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a transmitting terminal prepares message contents and then requests transmission to unspecified people, the message contents are queued in a message waiting area and then the receiving terminal competes and receives messages in the message waiting area. Message transmission and reception using a message waiting area to increase not only the reach rate of message content but also the recognition rate by allowing message content to be received voluntarily rather than passively, and to motivate and induce action to receive and check message content A service provision system can be provided. However, the technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problem as described above, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention uploads message contents and transmits message contents to a message waiting area for message transmission to an unspecified number of people. A receiving terminal that competes to receive messages and a receiving unit that receives message contents from a sending terminal, a waiting area management unit that queues message contents in a message waiting area when an unspecified number of recipients is set in a sending terminal, and a message queued at a message waiting area at a receiving terminal. and a transmission/reception service providing server including a processing unit that records reception processing as a log when a message is received through contention and a statistics management unit that stores statistical data on received message contents.

According to any one of the above-described problem solving means of the present invention, when a transmitting terminal creates message contents and then requests transmission to unspecified number of people, after waiting the message contents in the message waiting area, the receiving terminal sends a message in the message waiting area. By competing to receive message contents, the message contents are received voluntarily rather than passively, and by inducing motivation and inducing action to receive and check message contents, not only the reach rate of message contents but also the recognition rate can be increased.

For example, Netscape , Explorer, Chrome, and the like. In addition, an application means an application on a terminal, and includes, for example, an app running on a mobile terminal (smart phone).

Before describing FIG. 2 , definitions of terms used in an embodiment of the present invention are summarized as shown in Table 1 below. However, in addition to the definitions in Table 1, it will be apparent that various definitions may be applied according to embodiments.

Terms Justice message SMS, MMS, LMS transmitted through CS or LTE networks, or transmitted through messengers, bulletin boards, and communities message content Content including text, photos, images, audio and video shop Depending on the entity that opens, it is divided into individual stores, individual business stores, and corporate business stores.
-Individual stores are stores that do not have a business number, and second-hand transactions between individuals (P2P) are possible
- Individual business stores and corporate business stores require a business number, are stores located in online and offline shopping malls, and have the right to register products, sell products, issue coupons, and send messages. reward Cryptocurrency including coupons, mileage, items, points, etc. transmitting terminal A terminal that is owned by the sender and transmits the message content receiving terminal A terminal that competitively receives message contents waiting in the message waiting area or receives message contents of a viewable list. Viewable list A list of message contents to be received by registering personal information and keywords destination Area, personal information, and keywords set for targeting by the sending terminal message waiting room A place where the message content is not immediately transmitted to the receiving terminal, but remains on the server until a receiving terminal satisfying a predetermined condition receives it. expiration period How long message content can stay in the message queue Waiting for reception The state in which message content stays in the message queue reception status A state in which message content is delivered from the message waiting area to the receiving terminal

Referring to FIG. 2 , the receiving unit 310 may receive message contents from the transmitting terminal 100 . The transmitting terminal 100 may upload message contents. The message content may be a message that an unspecified number of people compete to receive, or a message that is transmitted after setting a receiving target. The type of message may be a message that reaches the recipient, that is, a message that the recipient only needs to receive, or a message that the recipient needs to respond to. The reward added to the message may be a reward that the recipient can receive just by receiving it, or a reward that the recipient must respond to. In this case, the reward may be a coupon or a point, but is not limited thereto.

The waiting area management unit 320 may wait for message content in the message waiting area when an unspecified number of recipients are set in the transmitting terminal 100 . The transmitting terminal 100 may transmit message contents to a message waiting area in order to transmit a message to an unspecified number of people. At this time, StandBy means a state in which, similar to asynchronous communication, when a message is received from the transmitting terminal 100, it stays in the message waiting area of the platform of the present invention and is not sent to the receiving terminal 400. That is, it is a state in which only a message that exists on the platform of the present invention and can be received in the receiving terminal 400 can be checked. In order to view message contents, the receiving terminal 400 must compete with other receiving terminals 400 to receive the message. For example, when the quantity is limited, the message contents may be received by the receiving terminal 400 in a first-come, first-served order, and the receiving terminal 400 may open and output the message contents.

The processing unit 330 may record the reception process in a log when the receiving terminal 400 receives a message queued in a message waiting area through contention. The receiving terminal 400 can compete and receive messages queued in the message waiting area. At this time, as described above, it may be a case of first-come-first-served basis, but if the sender sets another condition, it may be set so that a receiver with a high matching rate to the condition can receive the message content with a higher probability. Alternatively, the probability may be set completely randomly or may vary depending on the embodiment. At this time, the processing unit 330 may receive and process the transmission cancellation of the transmitting terminal 100 when the unreceived message in the message waiting area corresponds to the criterion set by the platform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The statistics management unit 340 may store statistical data on received and processed message contents. For example, as shown in FIG. 3E, there are 1 million message contents to be sent by the sender, 300 thousand messages waiting to be received, 300 messages being received, and 50 messages responding to the message contents. The number of reported cases is 20, and the number of messages that only received and output message contents and ended without response is 40, etc. Statistical data on the status according to the delivery stage of the message can be stored. In addition, when there are responses, statistical data such as the number of responses to each question and the distribution of responses can be provided as in the case of aggregating a survey.

When a receiving target is set in the transmitting terminal 100, the reception limiting unit 350 may set the receiving terminal 400 to receive message contents corresponding to at least one condition corresponding to the receiving target. For example, assuming that an apartment chief election is conducted as shown in FIG. 4C, since the apartment chief election is only available to apartment residents, when the region is set based on the location of the apartment residents, only the receiving terminal 400 located in the region It can be set to receive message content.

List management unit 360, when the receiving terminal 400 sets and stores the recipient information for the recipient, determines whether or not it corresponds to the receiving target, and determines whether the receiving terminal 400 is added to the viewable list. can decide When the recipient of the receiving terminal 400 inputs various information such as his/her hobbies, interests, residence, gender, age, occupation, etc., and the transmitting terminal 100 specifies the receiving target, holding the recipient information meeting the specified conditions Message contents may be provided to the viewable list of the receiving terminal 400 . Even at this time, it is only in a state of waiting in the message waiting area as a viewable list, but has not been delivered to the recipient terminal 400.

When the reading limiting unit 370 is set to limit the viewing target in the receiving terminal 400, the message content with the restricted viewing target can be set so as not to be listed as the viewing target of the receiving terminal 400. This may provide an option for setting a target to be rejected in the receiving terminal 400 . Message contents with restricted viewing targets are not added to the viewable list even if they are in the message waiting area. For example, if the recipient has set not to receive message contents related to topic A, a keyword related to topic A can be added to reject reception, that is, to limit the viewing target. Alternatively, if the recipient has set not to receive message content from phone number B, the message content sent to phone number B is not listed as a viewing target.

Response management unit 380, after receiving the message content corresponding to the viewing target in the receiving terminal 400, may provide an option to transmit any one of the response of report, reply, and termination for the message content. If the message content contains abusive language, slander, discrimination, harassment, or sexual content, you can report it. Of course, the reporting target is not limited to the above. In the case of an answer, for example, referring to FIG. 3K, it is message content for a fishing meeting, and if the question of FIG. 3K is described in order to know the taste of people participating in the fishing meeting, the answer is to select one of the suggested options. it could be In addition, in order to arouse interest in the fishing meeting, a quiz for matching the number of members may be provided, or a preferred menu for a dinner party may be selected. At this time, the survey method is, for example, a combo box, image combo box, option selection, image option selection, check box, image check box, multiple choice item, image multiple choice, text box (as shown in FIG. 3M) keyboard input), etc., but is not limited thereto. In the case of termination, it means to close the message content window after checking the message content, which is the received message.

The reward setting unit 390 may provide an option to set and send a reward and provision time for the receiving terminal 400 that has received message contents from the transmitting terminal 100 . For example, referring to FIG. 3N, assuming that a wedding invitation is sent to an acquaintance, the content of the message is competitive, for example, a reward (point) is set to be paid to the first N people in the first-come-first-served order, or a response to a question In this case, it is possible to set how to acquire the reward by setting that the reward is paid, and when the reward is provided. At this time, the acquisition time is, for example, acquisition at reception (first-come-first-served basis), acquisition at response, acquisition at response (first-come-first-served basis), acquisition at selection response, acquisition at selection response (first-come-first-served basis), acquisition at selection response correct answer, selection response correct answer It may be set to a city acquisition (first-come-first-served basis), etc., but is not limited thereto.

The response aggregator 391 collects the responses received from the receiving terminal 400 when the transmitting terminal 100 includes at least one question in the message contents, and then generates statistical data so that the transmitting terminal 100 or It can be provided to the receiving terminal 400. For example, in the case of FIG. 4C, voting is conducted by electronic voting, but it is not easy for a person to count one by one, so in an embodiment of the present invention, which voter voted for which candidate, or which candidate You can count how many votes you received, etc. This result can be shared in real time, but since the real time result may affect voting, it is also possible to announce it after a predetermined time. It is self-evident that this can be changed according to the apartment regulations or the agreement of each resident.

When the receiving terminal 400 receives message content or receives a reward in response to the message content, the reward use unit 393 configures the shopping mall to use at least one product or service using the reward. can Rewards (points or coupons) obtained competitively from each receiving terminal 400 or obtained by receiving or responding can be set to be used when making a payment at an on/offline store as shown in FIG. 4D.

The coupon issuing unit 395 may set the coupon to be used in the store of the sending terminal 100 in the receiving terminal 400 that has received the message content, when the sending terminal 100 inserts the coupon into the message content and transmits the message. there is. As shown in FIG. 4D, when the sender of the transmitting terminal 100 is an individual business operator or a company, information about which coupons can be used by when and when a product is purchased at a store is databased, and the URL of this condition is included. When the QR code is scanned or recognized by a store terminal (not shown), it is determined whether the conditions are met, and then whether or not to apply the QR code can be used for payment.

The monitoring unit 397 may generate and store statistical data by monitoring the current location and state of message contents. Since the message content according to an embodiment of the present invention uses asynchronous communication, which is a concept of a message waiting area, it is not immediately transferred to the receiving terminal 400 of the recipient even when the sender sends the message. Accordingly, it is possible to determine a state such as whether the message is currently waiting in the waiting area or whether the receiving terminal 400 has competitively received the message. If it is transmitted to the receiving terminal 400, the receiving terminal 400 grasps the status to distinguish whether the message content is open, that is, in a confirmation state where the message content is displayed on the screen, or whether it has been received but has not yet been opened. can In addition, when there is a question regarding message content, whether the question has been answered or not yet answered, and if a response has been made, the number and type of responses may be provided as statistical data.

A comparison of differences between the transmission/reception service according to an embodiment of the present invention and other companies' platforms may be shown in Table 2. Recipient specificity means that you need to know your phone number or messenger account to send. In most communication channels, you need to have each account or phone number to deliver message content to the other party, but according to an embodiment of the present invention Since the platform can provide message contents to an unspecified number of people without knowing the number or account of the other party, the level of privacy protection can be differentiated from other companies' technologies. Also, to consider rejection of reception is whether or not the server end (End) of the receiving terminal 400 can block the message when the other party rejects the reception. If the smartphone rejects reception, the message content always remains in the blocking message box because it is delivered to the smartphone (receiving end). However, in the platform according to an embodiment of the present invention, the server blocks the blocking message and the receiving end Since it is not sent, the message does not remain even in the blocking message box of the receiving end's smartphone. Received synthesis, statistical function, and survey function are the same as those described above, so redundant descriptions are omitted.

Hereinafter, an operation process according to the configuration of the transmission/reception service providing server of FIG. 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 as examples. However, it will be apparent that the embodiment is only any one of various embodiments of the present invention, and is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the transmission/reception service according to an embodiment of the present invention proceeds in the flow of [transmission → message waiting area → reception contention → reception → statistics].

<Send>

In the [Sending] step, the sending terminal 100 defines the message content items, contents, and the recipient's response method, and determines the status of [Before sending-during sending-before receiving-after receiving] of the message contents in letters and symbols. And text and content such as images can be set, and rewards such as points, coupons, and gifts can also be set differently. Since this is a design UI, it will not be described in detail in one embodiment of the present invention. The transmitting terminal 100 may pay a predetermined cost to transmit message contents, and the receiving terminal 400 may also receive a deduction from the receiving cost. Message contents may be added with reading reference information before reception so that the receiving terminal 400 can determine whether to select and receive the message contents. For example, the reading reference information may include message characteristics, title, content, whether a reply is required, first-come-first-served basis, password, expiration date, and the like. When transmitting message contents to an unspecified number of people, the transmitting terminal 100 may set a receiving target, eg, demographic data such as region, age group, gender, personality, occupation, and hobbies. The transmitting terminal 100 may set an effective period for receiving message contents, and may also set a time point for providing a reward. At this time, the transmitting terminal 100 may request cancellation (recall) of sending when the unreceived message staying in the message waiting area corresponds to a preset condition, and in this case, it is collected by deducting the cost of waiting in the message waiting area according to the collection point. Processing is requested, and the platform of the present invention may proceed with recovery processing.

<Message Waiting Area → Receive Contention>

The receiving terminal 400 may determine whether to receive the message after inquiring reference information for viewing among message contents included in the viewable list. In addition, the receiving terminal 400 may acquire rewards such as points, coupons, mileage, and gifts according to the setting of the transmitting terminal 100 when receiving message contents. The same message content sent from the transmitting terminal 100 to the plurality of receiving terminals 400 can be received only once, thereby preventing abuse due to redundant reception. Points received by the receiving terminal 400 may be used when message contents are transmitted from the receiving terminal 400 to another terminal (not shown). At this time, if the receiving terminal 400 capable of receiving the message contents does not exist, or if the validity period elapses without competitive reception in the receiving terminal 400, the message contents may be automatically destroyed, and the transmitting terminal 100 ) may cancel the transmission, and accordingly, the receiving terminal 400 is no longer able to inquire.

<receive>

When the transmitting terminal 100 requests a survey or a response, the receiving terminal 400 may select and input a response, and set points that can be obtained when the transmitting terminal 100 responds or inputs, that is, a reward.
