Description

System and method for sending and receiving mail including avatar {System and method for sending and receiving electronic mail including avatar}

The present invention relates to a mail transmission and reception system and method including an avatar, and more particularly to a mail transmission and reception system and method including an avatar that can give a variety of effects to the mail using the sender's avatar.

Letters and telephones can be used as a method that has been used for a long time to communicate with a plurality of ordinary people located in remote locations. Among them, a letter written in a document and provided to a receiver is no longer in the form of a document as a communication network develops, and a time interval between transmission and reception is made in real time to some extent.

Hereinafter, a brief description will be made regarding e-mail sending and receiving letters using a communication network.

E-mail is a system that can transmit and receive messages via a network in computer communication (PC communication), and is one of the basic services in a commercial computer communication network.

If you want to send an e-mail using the sender's computer combined with the communication network, write the message you want to send, enter the recipient, and select the send function. The message is sent to the receiver.

Just as you send a document in an envelope in regular mail and send instructions on the envelope, such as the recipient's address, delivery conditions (e.g. express delivery), in a prescribed form. Is sent in parts of envelopes and contents.

Therefore, a message transfer agent (MTA) for transmitting a message according to the instruction of the envelope, and a user correspondence function such as editing a message in the form of an envelope and a document or temporarily storing a received message according to designated information (UA). The User Response Function (UA) acts as a user agent to send and receive messages on behalf of a user.

E-mail can send a message quickly compared to mail or telephone and can leave a message even when the recipient is absent. It also features a reliable delivery of messages regardless of the time of transmission.

In addition, it is a system that integrates the communication networks commercially available in each country and sends or receives a message to the other party's mail box from anywhere in the world. System) '.

However, the conventional electronic mail system is set so that the sender composes the message content for sending to the receiver only in a text form, thereby limiting the sender's various creative desires.

In addition, the conventional electronic mail system is constructed on a text basis that cannot include the sender's avatar in a message transmitted from the sender, which causes the sender not to give his or her personality in the mail.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a mail transmission and reception system including an avatar that can automatically replace the characters with the image specified by the sender in the case that the message written by the sender for transmission to the receiver includes a character specified in advance by the sender; To provide a way.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a mail transmission / reception system and method including an avatar which can be transmitted to a receiver, including an avatar of a user that is variously represented according to the sender biorhythm information of a mail transmission date in a mail transmitted from a sender.

The method may further include receiving a request for changing the designated word to the designated image from the sender.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of a mail transmitting and receiving system including an avatar according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the picture mail transmission / reception system includes a terminal device 110a, 110b hereinafter referred to as 110, a server 120, and the like, and the server 120 includes a processor 122, a storage device 124, and the like. It may include.

The terminal device 110 may be a computer, a mobile communication terminal, a PDA, or the like as long as the terminal device 110 is combined with a communication network to transmit and receive e-mails of a sender and a receiver. The explanation will be centered.

The sender accesses the server 120 using the computer 110 coupled with the communication network, composes a message for transmission to the recipient, inputs the recipient's e-mail address (hereinafter referred to as an e-mail address), and then transmits the message. Upon fulfilling the request, server 120 transmits the corresponding message created by the sender to the designated recipient.

An electronic mail that the sender wishes to send to the recipient may be created including image information as well as text information, for details of which will be described later with reference to an example of screen display.

In addition, a method of viewing the corresponding message transmitted by the server 120 using the recipient's email address is to operate an email transmission / reception program (for example, outlook express, etc.) included in a computer coupled with a communication network. You can view the received e-mail or access the web site that provides the e-mail service (for example, the following communication (http://www.daum.net)). .

2 is a flowchart for e-mail transmission including an image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 210, the server receives a connection request from a sender's computer through a communication network, and proceeds to step 220 and transmits a predetermined format to the sender's computer so that the sender can write an e-mail. .

Step 210 may further include receiving access information including a member identifier (ID) and a password from the sender and checking whether the access information is valid.

The format transmitted to the sender's computer in step 220 may further include a plurality of images that can be included in the message of the e-mail while the user composes the e-mail, which will then be described in detail with reference to an illustrative view of the screen display. Let's do it.

In step 230, the server receives a message in the form of text input by the sender through a computer keyboard or the like. The message entered by the sender in step 230 is output in the same manner to the sender's computer monitor.

In step 240, the server checks whether the sender requests the text message received in step 230 to be changed to a message including at least one image.

In step 240, a method for checking whether a sender requests to change a text message to a message including an image may be selected from a sender by using a plurality of groups of images output on the sender's computer monitor, or It can be applied to check whether the 'Convert' button printed on the computer monitor is selected.

The inspection of step 240 proceeds to step 250 if the sender wants to change the text message to a message containing an image, otherwise proceeds to step 260.

If the sender selects a particular image group (e.g., transportation) from among a plurality of image groups (e.g., anniversaries, days of the week, transportation, etc.) output on the computer monitor, in step 250 the server is assigned to that image group. A plurality of images (for example, a bus, a taxi, a car, a subway, etc.) included are transmitted to the sender computer, and the selection information of a specific image is received from the plurality of images from the sender computer.

A text message created by the sender is changed into a message including an image through step 250, and the image is inserted and output to the sender's computer monitor as an example.

The method of inputting specific picture information into the message in step 250 is that a plurality of image groups (for example, character collection, time / season / star, motion and emotion, anniversary and day of the week, etc.) are already displayed on the sender's computer monitor. If the sender selects the 'time / season / star' item, a plurality of detailed image groups (eg, weather, season, time, constellation, etc.) related to the selected image group are output.

When the sender selects a 'weather' item from the detailed image group output, the sender's computer monitor outputs a plurality of images (eg, sun, rain, clouds, fog, snow, etc.) related to 'weather'. do.

If the sender selects' solution 'from the multiple images, the image of' sea 'is inserted at the position where the cursor is located in the text message written by the sender, or the word' sea 'included in the text message is selected by the sender's' Sun 'image.

In step 260 the server checks whether the sender has completed the creation of a message (a message containing a text message or image) that the sender wishes to send to the recipient.

If the message is completed, the process proceeds to step 270, otherwise it proceeds to step 230 to continue the message composition.

In step 270, the server outputs the message created by the sender at the sender's request to the sender computer monitor in a form similar to that when the receiver receives it.

In step 280 the server checks whether the sender wants to send in the form of the message output through step 270. If the sender wants to send, send the corresponding e-mail and end the step. If the sender wants to proceed with the related work such as modifying the message, the sender proceeds to step 230 and continues writing the message.

The method for changing a text mail to an email including an image may include inserting and modifying an image while completing the creation of a text message as described above with reference to FIG. 2, and similarly. In the middle of composing a text message, you can change certain words into images and insert them into the text message.

3 is a flowchart for automatically converting a word designated by a sender to a designated image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4A is a screen for setting automatic conversion of a designated image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 4B to 4C are exemplary views of a screen display for setting automatic conversion of a designated image according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In describing FIG. 3, an exemplary view of the screen display of FIG. 4A is also described to facilitate understanding.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a step of automatically converting a word previously designated by a sender into an image designated by the sender, and the step shown in FIG. 3 may be configured to operate in parallel with the step shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the server transmits a format for creating an electronic mail to a sender's computer through a communication network, and in step 320 receives a text message prepared for transmission from a sender computer to a receiver.

In operation 330, the server checks whether a request for converting a predetermined word from a sender into a predetermined image is received from the sender for the text message received in operation 320.

According to the check result of step 330, if a conversion request is received from the sender, the flow proceeds to step 340. If not, the automatic conversion step of converting to a designated image corresponding to the designated word ends.

In operation 340, the server searches for the designated word in the text message prepared by the sender using a word previously designated by the sender stored in the storage device.

In operation 350, the server converts the corresponding designated word found in the text message into the designated image stored in the storage device.

In step 360 the server checks in step 340 and step 350 whether the automatic conversion for the specified word contained in the text message composed by the sender is completed, and if the automatic conversion is completed, proceeds to step 370, otherwise If so, the process proceeds to step 340.

Using the message automatically converted in steps 340 to 360, in step 370 the server checks whether a request for modification of the automatically converted image is received from the sender.

As a result of the check in step 370, if the sender requests the correction of the specific image, the process proceeds to step 380, otherwise the step ends.

In operation 380, the server transmits an automatic conversion list including the designated word of the sender and the designated image stored in the storage device to the sender computer through the communication network.

In operation 390, the server receives correction information of the automatic conversion list of the designated word and the designated image from the sender using the communication network, proceeds to operation 400, and converts the image using the correction information received in operation 390. End the step.

Instead of sending the automatic conversion list specified by the sender to the sender's computer to receive the correction information, as described above in steps 380 to 400, the sender places the cursor on an image that the sender does not want in the converted message state and 'converts' it. You can also select the button to convert to text or to another image.

A method of automatically converting a text message into a message including an image by designating a specific word and a specific image in advance and modifying the automatically converted message will be described with reference to FIG. 4A.

Referring to FIG. 4A, a plurality of designated words are selected by a sender, and designated image information corresponding to each designated word is output in the form of a thumbnail.

At this point, the sender said, 'Summer is over, and it's just winter. For example, a case in which a text message, “Let's study hard and meet in church” is input (step 320 to FIG. 3) and a request for image conversion of a designated word (step 330 to FIG. 3) is described.

The server searches for designated words such as 'summer', 'winter', 'study', and 'church' included in the text message composed by the sender (step 340-FIG. 3), and the sender corresponds to each designated word. To convert the designated word into a predetermined image (step 350-FIG. 3).

If the sender requests the modification of the message (see steps 370 to 3) when the sender does not want to automatically convert the word 'winter' among the auto-converted messages as described above, the server converts the automatic conversion list as shown in FIG. 4A. Is retrieved and sent to the sender computer (step 380-FIG. 3).

The sender can select 'Cancel Auto Conversion' item or delete the designated word from the designated words included in the automatic conversion list printed on the computer monitor if they do not want to be converted automatically. If you want to change the image, you can change it to the desired image by using the 'Change Assigned Image' button.

Then, when the sender completes the change of the image and selects the save button (step 390-FIG. 3), the server changes the user's message by using the automatic conversion list modified by the sender.

In addition, the sender may register the designated word using the automatic conversion list shown in FIG. 4A or delete all the designated words and the designated image in the automatic conversion list.

Hereinafter, another exemplary embodiment of generating an automatic conversion list that can be generated and used by the sender will be described with reference to FIGS. 4B to 4C.

4B illustrates a region in which a sender selects a specific image desired, inputs a keyword corresponding to the image, and then converts the image to a corresponding image when the keyword is input.

If the sender selects a 'confirm' button after inputting a specific image and a specific keyword using FIG. 4B, a screen as shown in FIG. 4C is output.

4C illustrates a space in which at least one image designated by the sender for automatic conversion is collected so far, and the sender may delete a predetermined image or modify an image or a keyword by using the corresponding information.

5 is a flowchart for including an avatar of a sender in an e-mail according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Before describing FIG. 5, generally, the following three methods may be used to generate an avatar of a user.

First, an avatar is created by using a user's photo by a separate manual operation, and the generated avatar is converted into a form that can be used on a web and provided to the user.

Second, a method of generating an avatar of a user by accessing a web page on which a user can create an avatar and selectively combining a plurality of images provided in the web page.

In the case of applying the above-described second method, in order to create an avatar of the user, the user accesses the web page and logs on, and then connects to 'create my avatar'.

The user selects a specific face shape suitable for himself from among a plurality of face shape images provided for selecting a face shape of a user, and then a specific eye and eyebrow in a plurality of eye and eyebrow images provided for selecting an eye and eyebrow shape. Select the image.

In the same way, a nose image, a mouth image, a hair style image, and the like are selected, and an accessory image such as glasses is selected.

In addition, if the clothing image is selected in the same manner, the avatar of the user is generated, and the style or clothing image of the avatar can be changed later.

Third, extract the features of each part of the user's appearance by using the photos provided by the user, extract the most suitable image among the images drawn in the form of portrait in advance corresponding to each part, and extract the extracted images as the image for each part A method of generating an avatar of a user who is synthesized into one image and implemented in a portrait form.

5 will be described on the premise that the sender's avatar is generated by various methods as described above.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 510, the server receives a text message from the sender computer, and proceeds to step 520 to search for a first person word (eg, I, name, etc.) for conversion into an avatar in the text message. The first person word retrieved in operation 520 may also be designated by the sender as described above with reference to FIG. 4.

In step 530, the server checks whether the text message includes the first person word that can be converted into the sender's avatar using the search result in step 520.

As a result of the check in step 530, if there is a designated first person word, the flow proceeds to step 540, and if not, the step ends (of course, image conversion using the above-described flowchart may be performed).

In step 540, the server calculates the sender's biorhythm using the birthday information input by the sender in the member registration step, and proceeds to step 550 to search for an avatar suitable for the sender's biorhythm.

Steps 540 and 550 may be applied to a case in which a plurality of avatars including respective identification codes are previously generated so that the sender can apply according to mood (depression, joy, sadness, excitement, etc.).

In addition, even when the sender generates only one avatar, the server itself automatically generates a plurality of avatars by using the body part image that can express a mood as the mouth part image and the eye image of the avatar generated by the sender. Can be generated.

In step 560, the server inserts the avatar retrieved in step 550 into the first person word position of the text message created by the sender, and ends the step (of course, the image conversion operation using the above-described flowchart can be performed).

In addition to the biorhythm shown in the flowchart, a method of selecting an avatar using the weather may be applied to a method of selecting and inserting a depressed avatar on a rainy day.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 5 will be described once again using an example in which a sender composes a message for transmission to a receiver.

If the sender enters a text message of 'I'm summer vacation from today', the server searches for the first person word 'I' from the text message.

Then, the biorhythm of the day is calculated using the birthday information of the sender, and an avatar suitable for the calculated biorhythm is searched.

The method for searching for a suitable avatar using the sender's biorhythm is a suitable avatar using the item having the highest value among the sender's biorhythms (for example, the highest number among intelligence rhythm, body rhythm, and emotional rhythm). Search for a suitable avatar by using a predetermined method (eg, numerical average) of three items of biorhythm (intelligent rhythm, physical rhythm, emotional rhythm).

For example, if the emotional rhythm has the highest value among the intelligence rhythm, the body rhythm, and the emotional rhythm, but the emotional rhythm itself is less than the average value, a method of searching for a depressed avatar may be applied.

As described above, by inserting the retrieved avatar into the text message, the text message is changed to a message including the avatar &quot; <user avatar location &gt;

Of course, as described above, a method of transmitting the avatar of the sender to the receiver by including the sender's avatar in the e-mail may include a first-person word (eg, you, a name) indicating the recipient when the sender specifies the recipient's avatar while composing the e-mail. ) Can be changed to the receiver's avatar and sent.

In addition, when the sender avatar and the receiver avatar are replaced with the first person word, the sender avatar and the recipient avatar may be displayed together with the name or the first person word of the avatar and the sender or the receiver.

6 is an exemplary view of a screen display for sending a mail including an avatar according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a screen display for transmitting and receiving a picture mail includes a transmission / reception information area 610, a message area 620, an image group area 630, an image selection area 640, a mail transmission information area 650, and an advertisement. Image region 660 and the like.

The sending / receiving information area 610 may include a subject input item of an e-mail, a sender e-mail address item, a recipient e-mail address item, an attachment file input item, etc. which the sender wants to send to the recipient, and accesses to compose the e-mail. In the case of checking whether the information (including the member identifier and the password) is valid, the sender e-mail address item in the transmission / reception information area 610 may be omitted.

The message area 620 is an area for inputting a message that the sender wants to send to the receiver. The message area 620 may include a text message and an image.

The image group area 630 is an area for outputting a plurality of image groups that can be included in a message that the sender wants to send to the receiver. As shown, you can include groups of images such as 'My Picture Window', 'Character Collection', 'Time / Season / Star', 'Anniversary / Day of the Week', and each detailed image group (eg For example, the weather, season, time, constellations, etc. may be further included.

The 'My Picture Window' item among the plurality of image groups included in the image group area 630 may be used to store a frequently used image when the sender sends a picture mail to a plurality of recipients so as to easily select the corresponding image. This item is for

An image that can be registered by the sender by itself in the 'My Pictures window' item is an image that is selectively registered among a plurality of images provided by the system according to the present invention, or an external image (for example, an image stored in the sender computer). You can register the image you want.

In addition, the 'specified word list' item, which may be included in the image group area 630, automatically corresponds to the word if a word previously designated by the sender is described in the text message as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. This item is set to convert to an image.

In addition, it operates similarly to the 'designated word list' item, and may further include an 'avatar designation list' item for automatically converting an avatar of a sender or a receiver.

The image selection area 640 is an area for outputting a plurality of images included in the selected image group when the sender selects a specific image group using the image group area 630 for inclusion in the message.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the image selection area 640, a plurality of images corresponding to the case where the sender selects a 'transportation' item included in the image group area 630 is output.

If the sender wants to convert the 'train' in the message to an image, the sender selects the 'train' image from among the plurality of images related to the 'transportation' shown and converts the word 'train' in the message to the corresponding image. Can be.

The mail transmission information area 650 is selected for transmission of the e-mail after completing the creation of the e-mail that the sender wants to send to the recipient (that is, the creation of the transmission / reception information area 610 and the message area 620). An area for outputting a plurality of possible items may include a 'convert' item, a 'preview' item, a 'send letter' item, a 'send reservation' item, and the like.

If the sender enters the date and time information for the scheduled sending, and selects the 'scheduled delivery' item, the server sends the e-mail to the receiver at the time specified by the sender.

When the sender completes the e-mail and selects the 'Preview' item, the e-mail is output on the sender's computer monitor similarly to the form in which the receiver receives and outputs the e-mail.

The advertisement image area 660 is an area for automatically converting a specific word (ie, a word related to an advertisement) into a corresponding advertisement image when a message written by the sender is included.

As described above with reference to the flowchart, a text message composed by a sender selects a specific image using the image group area 630 and the image selection area 640, or the 'designated word list' item and the 'avatar designation list'. By using an item or the like, a specific word may be automatically converted into a specific image, and a text message may be converted into a message including an image.

In addition, the avatar automatically converted into the message can be applied in various ways including information such as the sender's biorhythm.

7A to 7B are exemplary views of a screen display enabling the creation of a picture diary according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

When a user (that is, a sender and a receiver) accesses a website (or can use a program installed on a computer) and requests a drawing diary, the screen output to the user's computer is shown in FIG. 7A.

Referring to FIG. 7A, a calendar including a corresponding date and information on a previously written diary is output on a user's computer monitor, and the user wishes to modify the diary of a specific date or to create a diary of today's date. In the case of selecting, the screen shown in FIG. 7B is output on the user computer screen.

Referring to FIG. 7B, a diary form for creating a picture diary title and contents is output, and a user may input diary information.

When a user inputs a predetermined word as described above with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C while the user writes the diary using the diary form illustrated in FIG. 7B, the image corresponds to the word. Automatic conversion (real time conversion, selective conversion or batch conversion) is performed.

Since the picture diary created with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7B is similar to the image conversion of the e-mail described above, a description of a method of creating the picture diary will be omitted.

When the user selects the 'Save to My Computer' icon output at the bottom of FIG. 7B, the user does not store a picture diary created by accessing the website in a storage device associated with the website, You can store it (and, of course, store it nested within your website and your computer).

If a picture diary created on a website is stored on a user's computer, the picture diary can be saved with an image inserted while creating a picture diary on a website, or simply stored as text information. In addition, even when the user computer is stored without including the picture information, when the user computer is combined with a communication network, the image provided from the corresponding website may be connected by a link or the like to be output on the user computer screen.

In addition, the image provided from the website may be limited to unauthorized theft other than the website.

As a method of restricting unauthorized theft and the like, a method of disabling the link of the image from the outside and a method of preventing the download of the image from the outside can be applied.

First of all, the method of disabling the linking of the image from the outside is to check the user's computer or the external web server to which the specific image is transmitted due to the link in the web server to which the present invention is applied. If the web server is not applied to the invention, the transmission of the image is stopped.

In addition, the method of preventing the download of images from the outside is to make a database of information about each image so that the image request from the user cannot be accessed through the web server, and a unique ID is assigned to each file. This method is used to transfer the image security program whenever necessary.

By using the above two methods, when an unauthorized user steals a specific image from a user or an external web server, a warning image may be output instead of the corresponding image.

This method of preventing unauthorized image theft can be applied in the same way because the mail prepared by the sender or the receiver can be stored in the computer as well as in the case of a picture diary.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, in the present invention, when a message written by a sender for transmission to a receiver includes a character previously designated by the sender, the character may be automatically replaced by an image previously designated by the sender.

In addition, the user's avatar may be included in the mail transmitted from the sender according to the sender biorhythm information of the mail transmission date to the receiver.
