Description

Communication system & method Which have identification processes for members}

The present invention relates to a communication system and a communication method having a member identification process, and more particularly, by forming a virtual space on the network for any existing group and its members, thereby communicating with the outside without a separate set address. The present invention relates to a communication system and a communication method having a member identification process to enable communication between members.

On the Internet, users of companies, public institutions, organizations, and individuals form their own virtual spaces to communicate with each other. In the case of a company, a public institution, or an organization, it establishes its own network such as an intranet to enable communication between members or externally.In the case of a small company or an individual, a website is allocated in a virtual space allocated by an ISP company. Will form.

Intranets and websites built on the Internet use various programs such as FTP, e-mail, and telnet to communicate with each other. They are easy to use and use a lot of general e-mails. E-mail is a message sent over a network by a user with an e-mail address on the network to a user with a different e-mail address. Early e-mails were mainly used for personal-to-person correspondence exchanges, but recently e-mails have undergone a number of functional and conceptual changes, such as emerging as marketing solutions between companies and companies or between companies and individual consumers. Doing.

These e-mails were serviced by some carriers with online communication systems before the Internet was activated. However, with the recent Internet activation, most e-commerce websites provide e-mail services for communication between members. . In addition, there is a growing number of mail service companies that have websites dedicated to e-mail.

In order to receive an e-mail service from such a mail service website, first, an e-mail account process of signing up as a member is required through a sign-up procedure prescribed on a mail service website. If you sign up as a member, the mail service server assigns each member an email address, and if you know the other party's email address, send and receive e-mails with members subscribed to the same mail service server as well as with users subscribed to other mail service servers. You can do it.

However, such a conventional e-mail service on the Internet, in order to use the e-mail must be registered as a member to the mail service server, even if registered as a member can not send e-mail if you do not know the other party's e-mail address There is this. On the other hand, companies, public institutions, and organizations that have established intranets typically implement the actual internal structure of the organization partially on the intranet, thereby allowing outsiders and other members of the organization to communicate with each other. However, even in such an intranet, in order to send and receive e-mails with members or outsiders, each member must receive an e-mail address through a separate mail server to send and receive mutual e-mails.

Therefore, even if you do not know the other party's e-mail address on the Internet or intranet, you can send an e-mail using identification elements such as a name that identifies each member, geographical location within the organization, and role location within the organization. You will have to prepare.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication system and a communication method having a member identification process so that communication with the outside and communication between members are possible even without an address set separately.

The object is, according to the present invention, a corporate database for storing information relating to at least one existing entity; A member database for storing information about the member including a name of the member in the organization, a role location in the organization, an identification element including a geographical location in the organization, and the like; An address assigning unit to assign a message address to each member based on at least one of the identification elements; A message database for storing a message of the message address; A member comprising a server including a control unit for presenting the identification element to a user connected through a network, storing a message provided for the identification element in a message database of a corresponding message address, and allowing access of the member. Achieved by a communication system having an identification process.

The method may further include a member database in which information on members who are allowed to receive a certain service is stored. The controller may allow the member to access the message database.

The address assigning unit may assign a group message address based on an identification element including a group name, a business type, etc. of the group, thereby enabling communication with members of other groups.

On the other hand, the above object, according to another field of the present invention, comprising the steps of: building a corporate database for storing information about at least one existing entity; Constructing a member database for storing information about the member including names of members in the organization, role locations within the organization and identification elements including geographical locations within the organization; Assigning a message address of each of said members based on at least one of said identification elements; Storing a message at the message address; Presenting the identification element to a user connected through a network, storing the message provided for the identification element in a message database of the corresponding message address, and allowing access of the member. It can also be achieved by a communication method having.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The present communication system implements an existing entity in the same way on the Internet so that each member 4 can be identified even without a separate ID. As shown in FIG. A plurality of groups 2 and a communication server 1 having data imitating the structure of each group 2 are connected to each other via a network 6 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

As shown in Fig. 2, the communication server 1 includes a group database 3 in which information about each group 2 built in the communication server 1 is stored, and a member 4 of each group 2; A member database (5) storing information on the members, a message database (7) storing messages transmitted and received by each member (4), and information on a member (4) of the members (4) who have joined as a member. The member database 9 is constructed. In addition, the communication server 1 includes an address assigning unit 11 for assigning a message address so as to transmit and receive a message between the members 4, and a control unit for controlling the transmission and reception of messages and allowing the members 4 to transmit and receive messages. (10).

In the group database 3, information about an existing actual group 2, such as a company, a school, or a public institution, is stored. That is, by storing the group identification element which is a characteristic of the group 2 such as the group name, address, and business type of the group 2 subscribed to the communication server 1 and is distinguishable from other groups, It is easy to access any group (2).

The member database 5 includes personal information of each member 4 constituting the organization 2 and an identification element for identifying the member 4 when transmitting and receiving a message. Name, geographic location or role location within the organization (2). For example, if a member 4 of a company is employed, it can be used as an identification element such as which department he works for, who joins a group, what job he is in charge of, and what position he is in.

On the other hand, the address assigning unit 11 assigns the group message address and the member message address based on the group identification element stored in the group database 3 and the identification element stored in the member database 5. The message address is generally set based on the identification element used by the group 2 or the member 4 in real life, not the concept of an ID set separately by the user for e-mail or communication.

The control unit 10 for controlling the transmission and reception of messages or communication between the members 4 in the same organization 2 or the members 4 of the other organizations 2 in accordance with the message address given by the address assigning unit 11 is When the member 4 wants to send a message or communicate, the member 4 determines the presence of the other party based on the message address and informs the member 4. Then, the controller 10 stores the received message in the message database 7 corresponding to the message address of the other party, and provides the other party with the message reception or communication status. At this time, the control unit 10 allows the confirmation or communication of the received message only when the other party is a member of the communication server 1.

Hereinafter, a case in which a virtual space for a school is built in the communication server 1 will be described in detail as an embodiment.

The group database 3 of schools stores classification information for classifying schools into high school, middle school, and elementary school, and school name information storing school names corresponding to each step.

In addition, the member database 5 of the school stores the composition information of the teacher and the student who is the member 4 of the school, the identification element for the teacher, and the identification element for the student. Here, the configuration information may include the number of teachers, the number of classes in each grade level, the number of students in each class, and the like. And. The identification factors for teachers include the name, the name of the subject in charge, the position of each teacher on the position layout of the teacher's office, the department or team in charge of each teacher, and the homeroom class. Identification elements for students include name, number, location on the layout of the classroom, the composition of each student's officers, and the position in the club.

The message address is set based on the group database 3 and the configuration database, and the group message address of each school can be given by the school name. In addition, it is preferable that the member message address be a full name of both the student and the teacher, and in case of not knowing the name, the control unit 10, in the case of the teacher, is in charge of the subject, the position of each teacher in the position layout of the teacher's office, and each teacher. The identification element of the department in charge, the club, the classroom, etc. will be presented. In the case of the student, the identification element such as the student's grade, class, number, and position on the classroom layout can be presented.

The control unit 10 for managing a communication server 1 in which the virtual space for the school is constructed is to determine whether a teacher or a student, which is a member 4, is present or received when transmitting or receiving a message between the members 4 and transmitting a message. Or a communication to the desired member 4, and when a message is received, it is stored in the message database 7 corresponding to the message address of the teacher or student of the message database 7, and the teacher or student indicates that the message has been received. Post to message boards in your class. The received message can be confirmed only when a member of the member 4 is registered as a member, and the control unit 10 allows the member 4 to access the message according to the membership.

The communication server 1 having such a configuration constructs a virtual school on the Internet by making a database of information about each school and the students and teachers who are members 4 of each school. Then, a message address is given to each school and students and teachers belonging to each school. In the virtual school, as in the real school, the cyber leader is elected, and the elected cyber leader informs the class whether or not they receive the message, deletes unhealthy posts on the bulletin board, and actively works in the virtual school. It will take on the role of revitalizing the school.

As shown in FIG. 4, the communication server 1 provides a separate half page 20 for each class, and in addition to the half page 20, a page such as a club or a broadcasting class chat class, and students can participate. A plurality of pages are formed, and a plurality of icons 21 are formed on the half page 20 to move to another page.

In the half page 20, a link 23 is formed such as 'send message to grade 0', 'to teacher', and 'to friend' so as to send and receive messages between class members (4) including teachers. . If you want to send a message, as shown in Figure 3, select a member to receive the message (S10). For example, if you want to send a message to the teacher, select the 'to the teacher' link, and if the 'to the teacher' link is selected, as shown in Figure 5, the classroom teacher or other teachers in the school or teachers of other schools The recipient selection screen 30 in which a plurality of links are formed is displayed to select. When sending a message to a teacher of another school, selecting a school name and inputting the teacher's name, the controller 10 displays a message creation screen 40 as shown in FIG. 6, and a message creation screen 40 When the name, the letter title, and the contents are completed (S30), the send button 41 at the bottom is selected, and the control unit 10 transmits and stores the message to the message database of the corresponding message address (S40). .

When the transmission of the message to the teacher is completed in this way, it is posted that the message has been received from the teacher on the board of the school and the class to which the teacher belongs. At this time, the controller 10 determines whether the teacher who has received the message is a member based on the information stored in the member database 9 (S50), and if the member is able to immediately check the message (S60), the member If not, it is possible to check the message after joining the member (S55).

On the other hand, if the teacher or student wants to chat, you can use the chat room, and at this time, as in the message transmission and reception, if the name or identification element of the desired member (4) is selected, the control unit 10 determines whether the other party is connected or not. When it is determined that the other party is connected, the other party is notified that there is a member 4 who wants to chat.

In this way, the organizations 2 established in the communication server 1 need a separate e-mail address only if they know the identification elements such as the name of the member 4, the role of the member, the location of the organization 2, and the like. You can send and receive messages or communicate without them. In addition, by posting a message on the bulletin board, it is possible to determine whether the message is sent or received without direct access.

Therefore, in the past, when the e-mail address was not known when the e-mail address was transmitted and received through the network 6, the e-mail could not be transmitted or received. However, the present communication server 1 allows the e-mail address to be transmitted and received even if the e-mail address is not known. do.

As described above, according to the present invention, communication between members can be performed on a network even without an address set separately.
