1 (overall design) is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a multi-party voice / sound communication and broadcasting system according to the present invention, in which the system is a community of a user's PC 100 and other user PCs 100 connected thereto. In order to achieve the transmission of the voice and sound input from the user's PC (100) to another user PC transmission server 200, and the channel control server 300 for managing the channel to distinguish the community of the unit, Web server 400 to implement the function of the present invention as it is through the home page, the login server 500 to determine the user's usage rights, and a database for storing information about the user's authority and channel and messages between users Server 600. Hereinafter, a channel is a logical concept of a separator that can hear the same voice / sound, and one channel corresponds to 1: 1 with network ports of the transmission server 200 that is in charge of voice / sound transmission. The interpersonal communication network 105 of FIG. 1 provides a communication path including a public telephone network, a local area network (LAN), the Internet, and the like connected between the PCs 100 of the user without passing through the transmission server 200. The communication network 107 of FIG. 1 is a path through which the user PC 100 communicates with the transmission server 200 for the purpose of voice and sound transmission, a path communicating with the channel control server 300 for the purpose of obtaining channel information, and the web. A path for communicating with the server 400, a path for communicating with the login server 500 is a communication path including the Internet (Internet). The communication network 201 of FIG. 1 is a communication path of a local area network (LAN) connecting the transmission server 200, the channel server 300, the web server 400, the login server 500, and the database server 600. . Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18.

14 illustrates a broadcast for personal use and a communication method for the purpose of listening thereto. The user accesses the login server 500 over the Internet to use the service of the present invention (step A1). When the user enters the user's call-sign and password in the login screen (Fig. 11), the corresponding information is transferred to the login server 500, and the login server checks whether the user's call-sign and password are correct in the database server 600. The result is transmitted to the user PC 100 (step A2). If the user's membership fails, the homepage for membership registration (Fig. 4) is provided in the program, and if it is desired to join, it is required to agree to the terms and conditions (Fig. 5) and input certain personal information (Fig. 6) (step A3). ). If the member verification is successful, the channel request command is transmitted from the user PC 100 to the channel control server 300, and the channel control server delivers the information of the channel currently being broadcast to the user PC 100 and is currently being broadcast as shown in FIG. The channel information is output (step A4). If the user selects another country by turning the country selection dial, channel information of the corresponding country is transmitted from the channel control server 300 to the user PC 100, and the channel information is output as shown in FIG. 12 (step A4). When the user adjusts the channel number, the number of the corresponding channel is transmitted from the user PC 100 to the channel control server 300, and the channel control server 300 transmits the user PC information such as the usage, grade, and accessor list of the corresponding channel. The user PC 100 transmits a voice / sound data transmission request command to the transmission server 200 when the user PC 100 satisfies the usage and grade of the corresponding channel. During this series of processes, the client downloads data consisting of voice and sound from the voice advertising server 800 at regular intervals. As above, when the user selects a channel, the client downloads the advertising data consisting of the finally downloaded voice and sound. Output through the speaker (step A5). In step A4, the usage of the channel is divided into personal broadcasting, public broadcasting, conversation, and community, and is divided into FIGS. 14, 15, 16, and 17, respectively.

14 shows a channel for personal broadcasting. When the user intends to broadcast, the user presses the On Air button of FIG. 2 on the user PC 100. The user PC 100 synchronously sends the channel information and the broadcast request command selected by the user to the channel control server 300, the channel control server 300 sends the call-sign of the user who sent the command to the database server 600 Check the user information in to check if the call-sign of the user is authorized to broadcast. In addition, the channel control server 300 examines the user's point to check whether the channel selected by the current user is a usable channel (step A7). If it is not available, return to step A4. The channel control server 300 transmits the resultant value of the broadcast right to the user PC 100 that has transmitted the broadcast request command, and if the program of the user PC 100 assumes that the result value is broadcast right, The channel information transmitted by the program of the user PC 100 is recorded in the memory for storing the list. In the program of the user PC 100, the On Air LCD is turned on as shown in FIG. The user presses the talk button (TALK-Send) of the program and inputs the voice through a microphone mounted on the user's PC 100. In addition, the user can play the music in a general multimedia player program such as Microsoft's Media player or NULLsoft's Winamp. All sound signals output to the speaker through the PC compatible sound card device are stored in the memory, mixed with the input voice in real time and stored in the memory again (step A8). Mixed audio / speech data stored in memory can be converted to universal audio codecs: Microsoft ADPCM Audio CODEC / Microsoft GSM 6.10 Audio CODEC / Lernout & Hauspie CODECs / Micosoft IMA ADPCM CODEC / DSP Group TrueSpeech (TM) Audio CODEC / Microsoft CCITT G.711 Compress A-Law and u-Law CODEC / Windows Media Audio / Ihacm.acm / Microsoft G723.1 / Microsoft PCM Converter / Indio Audio software and go through a series of connections to listen to your broadcast. If there is a user PC 100 for listening purposes (step A9), it transmits in real time using the H.323 protocol based on VoIP technology (step A10). When the user selects a channel in step A5, when the user selects a channel, information of the corresponding channel is transmitted to the channel control server 300, and the channel control server 300 determines whether another user has opened a broadcast on the channel. If it exists in the list by inspecting the stored memory, it transmits data such as the IP of the broadcast founder, the founder information, the broadcast name, and the like included in the corresponding channel information to the user PC 100. The user PC 100 outputs the received establisher call-sign and similarly connects to the received IP to receive compressed voice / sound data transmitted by the broadcaster PC (step A11). The received compressed voice / sound data is decompressed and output to the speaker through the sound card of the user PC 100 (step A12).

15 shows a channel for public broadcasting. If the user intends to broadcast, the processes B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, and B10 of the public broadcasts of FIG. 15 may be performed using A1, A2, A3, A4, The technical details of the processes A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, and A10 correspond to the processes in one-to-one correspondence. After transmitting the voice / sound to the listener PC 100 in step B10, the user PC 100 checks in the network reception buffer whether a time-lapse command from the channel control server 300 has been reached. If the time elapsed command is reached, the user PC 100 stops all broadcasting activities and the program returns to step B4. If the time-lapse command does not reach the network reception buffer, the process returns to step B8 (step B11). When the user intends to listen, steps B12 and B13 have the same technical content as steps A11 and A12 of FIG.

In the case of Fig. 16, a dialogue channel is illustrated. Steps C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 of the conversation channel of FIG. 16 are the same as steps A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6 for the personal broadcast channel of FIG. If the user wants to transmit his / her voice to the people who participated in the same channel, the user performs step C7 of FIG. 16 in the same manner as step A8 of FIG. 14 (step C7). The input voice / sound data is compressed and transmitted to the transmission server 200 (step C8). The transmission server checks whether the IPs of the other user PCs 100 having selected the same channel selection as the user PC 100 are in the memory of the channel control server (step C9). If the IPs of the user PC 100 having selected the same channel as the result of checking in step C9 exist, the compressed voice / sound data generated in step C8 is transmitted to all other user PCs 100 present (step C10). When the user is aiming to listen to the voice / sound of another user, steps C11 and C12 are the same as steps A11 and A12 of FIG. 14 illustrating the case of the personal broadcasting channel.

17 illustrates a fellowship channel. Steps D1, D2, D3, and D4 of the fellowship channel of FIG. 17 are the same as steps A1, A2, A3, and A4 of the personal broadcast channel of FIG. When the user adjusts the channel number, the number of the corresponding channel and the call-sign of the user are transmitted from the user PC 100 to the channel control server 300, and the channel control server 300 keywords the corresponding channel in the database server 600. After obtaining the call-sign list of the group subscriber, the user checks whether the call-sign of the user transmitted from the user PC 100 is included in the list. If the user's call-sign is not included in the group's call-sign list, the process returns to step D5. If the call-sign list of the corresponding group includes the user's call-sign, it is regarded as a group member and transmits information to the user PC 100 to verify that the group is a member (step D6). If the user intends to broadcast, the steps D7, D8, D9, D10, and D11 are the same as the steps C6, C7, C8, C9, and C10 of FIG. When the user intends to listen, the steps D12 and D13 are the same as the steps C11 and C12 of FIG.

18 illustrates a subscription method for acquiring the authority to use the system through the Internet homepage. The user accesses the homepage providing the system through the Internet through a universal web browser and outputs the homepage as shown in FIG. 3 through the web browser (step E1). The user clicks the new subscription button on the web page as shown in FIG. 4 (step E2). After performing step E2, a page on which the predetermined terms and conditions for using the service are recorded is output to the user web browser (step E3). When the user presses the consent button as shown in FIG. 5, a page for inputting predetermined user personal information is output to the web browser as shown in FIG. 6. If you click Disagree, the page output in step E1 is output through the web browser (steps E4 and E5). After completing the user personal information input as shown in FIG. 6, if the user agrees to the subscription in FIG. 7, a call-sign is unilaterally given (step E6). Information such as user's personal information and call-sign is stored in the database server 600 (step E7).

19 illustrates a method for joining a group for acquiring a group channel use right through an Internet homepage. The user accesses the homepage providing the system through the Internet through a universal web browser and outputs the homepage as shown in FIG. 3 through the web browser (step F1). The user clicks on the name of the group he wants to join from the group list as shown in FIG. 8 (step F2). The page in which the predetermined terms and conditions of registration recorded by the club president are specified is output through the web browser as shown in Fig. 9 (step F3). The user reads the terms and decides whether to join (step F4). If you decide to join, click the consent button as shown in Fig. 8, and the personal information of the applicant wishes to be stored in the database server 600. The information on the member wishes is output when the president of the club heads to the homepage and enters the club. (Step F5).

20 illustrates a conversation method on a personal homepage in which a microphone program is inserted. Connect to the homepage with the microphone provided to our members (step G1). Then, a program implemented as a web component such as COM and JAVA is executed on the web server that brings up the homepage to connect the listener's computer and the broadcaster's computer. Connect to the network. If the connection fails, go back to step G1, and if successful, go to step G3 (step G2). If successful, the microphone picture is output through the web browser as shown in FIG. 10. When voice is input through the microphone of the listener's computer while the microphone picture is clicked, the web server implements a universal web component such as COM and JAVA. This operation is performed to compress the input voice data and transmit the compressed data to the broadcaster's PC (step G5). The data transmitted to the broadcaster's PC is decompressed to output audio through the speaker of the broadcaster's computer (step G6).

Fig. 21 is when a user wants to deliver information including pictures and letters for the purpose of exchanging information, delivering messages, and greetings to other users. Show how to do it. The user accesses the web server 400 for the purpose of sending the QSL card to another user (step H1). Enter your call-sign and the receiver's call-sign (step H2). A page for creating a QSL card is output (step H3). The content is edited using text or pictures (step H4). When the send button is pressed, the web server retrieves the data input by the user from the database to obtain the IP information where the call-sign of the receiver is located and transmits the data to the receiver PC (step H5). The web server adds one point score of the sender and stores it in the database server (step H6). The receiver's program receives the data and outputs it to the screen (step H7).

Fig. 22 shows a method of substituting a user's point score for payment of a fee for obtaining channel permission for broadcasting purposes. If the user loses the right to broadcast because he did not pay the user fee, when using the channel for broadcasting purposes, the user's point score and the point score required to pay the fee are displayed as shown in Fig. 13, and the user's point score is necessary for paying the fee. If the score is satisfied, the user is asked whether to pay the fee for use of the point (step J1). The user chooses to approve or reject (step J2). If the user approves, a command indicating that the user is approved is transmitted to the point management server 700, and the server program stores the channel usage right for the user's broadcasting in the database server in a usable state (step J3). The server sends a command to the user PC indicating that the authority has been updated, and the user program enables use of the channel for broadcasting purposes (step J4).

The present invention is a communication using P2P (Peer to Peer), a system that complements the problems of the existing chat (TEXT, voice, video), and is a voice transmission program differentiated from the Internet phone. Existing communication must have a designated contact, search for a chat room of a specific website, and has the inconvenience of finding a chat target. In addition, the level of dialogue is also less reliable because it beautifies and wraps itself. Most organizations and organizations that operate existing chats do not form a global community and cannot escape a particular region or category of countries. This is because there are fundamental limitations such as language barriers, cultural heterogeneity, and inability to form a common community. The present invention is always present on the desktop after logging in, and at any time, the voice of someone along the channel flows out, and one-click (or a shortcut key) can respond to the request of the other party to provide a natural dialogue. You don't know who you are, where you live, how old you are, or what your hobbies are, but you don't hide yourself because it's a call-sign that represents you It is an opportunity to have a sincere conversation. The system is divided as the user level is divided into [General User], [High User], and [HAM User]. As the level goes up, the last user layer [HAM User] is linked to the offline “Amateur Federation” database. Only the holder of the Ham certificate will be verified and the membership will be granted. The offline use of Call-sign as an ID will take responsibility and pride. In addition, the link with the Web site will be a great help to those who actively use the personal site. In addition, since HAM is distributed evenly throughout the world, it is widely used as a place of active information exchange and goodwill among domestic and foreign users, and can contribute greatly to expanding the base of HAM.
