According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing a delivery service through a mobile communication network, the method comprising: receiving delivery request information and a delivery message from a communication terminal connected and connected through a mobile communication network; Based on the received delivery request information, step 2 of delivering the goods to a recipient; And at the time of delivery, characterized in that it comprises a three step of providing information on the delivery message to the communication terminal carried by the recipient,

In addition, the second step, based on the telephone number of the recipient's communication terminal, confirms the current location of the recipient, and the third step, a guide message indicating that the delivery message has arrived, and the sender name of the delivered goods It is characterized by providing a text message that is included.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a delivery service providing method through a mobile communication network according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, FIG. 1 schematically shows an overall configuration of a mobile communication network to which a delivery service providing method according to the present invention is applied. The mobile communication network 100 includes a plurality of mobile communication terminals 10 connected wirelessly. 11,12 ..); A data message management server (DMS) 20 that stores and manages various data or messages such as audio, video, or text; A billing data management server (DMS) 21 for storing and managing billing data such as call charges; And delivery service management server (SPS) 22 for providing and managing a delivery service including the delivery of goods on-line can be configured to include, for a delivery service providing method through a mobile communication network configured as described above, It will be described in detail as follows.

First, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a delivery service through a mobile communication network according to the present invention. When a subscriber having the mobile communication terminal 10 intends to use a goods delivery service, the delivery is performed. By selecting and specifying a call connection number assigned to the service management server 22, for example, a telephone number, a request for call connection and service guidance is requested (S10), and the delivery service management server 22 corresponds to a corresponding delivery. It provides a service and product information guide, etc. In this case, the guide information may be provided to transmit a variety of data, such as voice, video or text.

Accordingly, the subscriber having the mobile communication terminal 10 can select a desired delivery service. For example, the subscriber can check the product information provided from the delivery service management server 22 to select a specific product. The purchase and delivery request can be made (S12), the delivery service management server 22 receives and stores it, and then performs a link operation with the data message management server 20 (S13).

Accordingly, the data message management server 20 provides the subscriber of the mobile communication terminal 10 that has applied for the delivery service, a message delivery service guide for inquiring a message to be sent to the recipient when the goods are delivered (S14). ), The subscriber of the mobile communication terminal 10 selects and specifies various types of messages such as voice, video, or text desired by the mobile communication terminal 10, and delivery conditions (S15).

Thereafter, the data message management server 20 performs a link operation with the billing data management server 21 (S16), and the billing data management server 21, through the mobile communication terminal 10. After requesting the cost guidance and payment required for the delivery service requested by the subscriber (S17), the subscriber of the mobile communication terminal 10, after confirming the cost guidance and payment request, the previously identified identification information, for example For example, a payment code number set in advance for payment is input and transmitted (S18), and the billing data management server 21 performs an accreditation process for approving and notifying the account (S19), and the corresponding amount of subscribers Link to and store the information so that future charges can be made.

On the other hand, when the above-described series of delivery service application and reception process is completed, the delivery service management server 22, the goods requested to be delivered from the subscriber via the mobile communication terminal 11 carried by the delivery personnel The delivery person who transmits the information and receives the information can deliver the goods offline to a specific recipient designated by the subscriber, and the specific place where the recipient is located is the subscriber who applied for the delivery service. The location where the payee is currently located may be searched based on the recipient's mobile communication terminal telephone number designated by the subscriber or designated by the subscriber.

That is, when the subscriber inputs the recipient's mobile communication terminal telephone number for message transmission, the subscriber paging the current location of the mobile communication terminal using the telephone number so that the delivery person can move to the location. do.

When the delivery worker arrives at the addressee through the above process, the delivery worker connects to the delivery service management server 22 using the mobile communication terminal 11 provided to him and is currently waiting for delivery.
