Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR E-MAIL TRANSMISSION USING CALLER ID TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to an e-mail transmission method and apparatus applying a caller ID service, and in particular, by applying an caller ID service of an exchange to send an e-mail to each caller ID terminal, even if there is no PC connected to the network. The present invention relates to an e-mail transmission method and apparatus applying a caller ID service that enables mail confirmation.

In general, the SLC unit 12 includes a caller ID transmitter 11 and is matched to the caller ID terminal 13.

The caller ID transmitting unit 11 of the SLC unit 12 receives caller ID information through the control unit of the exchange in three cases. First, the caller ID information is input after the ring transmission in the on-hook state or the on-hook state. Receives caller ID information irrespective of the ring signal in or receives the caller ID information in the off-hook state and transmits it to the caller ID terminal 13.

Thereafter, the caller ID terminal 13 which receives the caller ID information from the caller ID transmitting unit 11 of the SLC unit 12 displays the caller ID information on the screen so that the user can view the necessary information. Enable to run

However, the conventional e-mail transmission and confirmation that operates as described above uses a PC connected to the network, so that the E-mail cannot be easily transmitted and confirmed anywhere, and there must be a PC connected to the network. there was.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem, and by sending an e-mail to each caller ID terminal by applying the caller ID service of the exchange even without a PC connected to the network, confirming the e-mail. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for transmitting an e-mail using the caller ID service.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention stores subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail account information. When the software is executed, it checks whether the subscribers connected to the exchange via the connected network receive the e-mail. PC to transmit; A CTI (referred to as CTI) for receiving a subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail information from the PC and transmitting the same, and matching the PC and the exchange to a LAN; A control unit which receives a port number and e-mail information from the CTI unit and controls the CTI unit and the SLC unit; A caller ID transmitting unit which receives the subscriber's port number input through the control unit and corresponding e-mail information; An SLC (subscriber line circuit hereinafter referred to as SLC) unit matching with the caller ID transmitter; And a caller ID terminal displaying e-mail information received from the caller ID transmitter of the SLC unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the operation and effects of the apparatus for transmitting an e-mail applying the caller ID service according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an email transmission apparatus applying the caller ID service of the present invention, as shown in the port number of the subscriber and the corresponding email account information is stored, A PC 21 which checks whether the subscribers connected to the exchange receive e-mails through the connected network and transmits the received e-mail; A CTI unit 22 which receives the subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail information from the PC 21 and transmits the same, and matches the PC with the LAN to the LAN; A control unit 23 for receiving a port number and e-mail information from the CTI unit 22 and controlling the CTI unit and the SLC unit; A caller ID transmitter 24 for receiving a subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail information input through the controller 23; An SLC unit 25 that matches the caller ID transmitter 24; The caller ID terminal 26 displays e-mail information received from the caller ID transmitting unit 24 of the SLC unit 25.

Hereinafter will be described the operation and action according to the present invention.

PC 21, which has an e-mail check program and is equipped with an exchange operation software, stores the subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail account information. Check whether the connected subscribers receive the e-mail.

The software operation of checking and transmitting the e-mail in the PC 22 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

First, enter 0 for any port and check the e-mail account for that port to determine if the e-mail was received for any account.

If the e-mail is received, the port information and the e-mail information are transmitted to the CTI unit 22 of the exchange, and the e-mail is not received or the e-mail information is sent to the CTI unit 22. In this case, the port address and the corresponding e-mail account information are checked again while increasing the port address, characterized in that it is made to repeat the process of checking whether or not.

When the reception of the e-mail information is confirmed by the above process, the subscriber port address and the corresponding e-mail information are transmitted to the CTI unit 22 of the exchange, and the CTI unit matching the PC and the exchange to the LAN ( 22 receives the subscriber's port number and corresponding e-mail information from the PC 21 and transmits it to the controller 23, and the controller 23 receives the subscriber's port number from the CTI unit 22. E-mail information corresponding thereto is received, and the CTI unit 22 and the SLC unit 25 are controlled.

The SLC unit 25 includes a caller ID transmitter 25 and is matched with a caller ID terminal 26.

Thereafter, the caller ID transmitting unit 25 of the SLC unit 25 receives the port number and the corresponding e-mail information from the control unit 23 and rings it in the on-hook state of the caller ID terminal 26 of each subscriber. Caller ID information is transmitted regardless of the signal.

Then, the caller ID terminal 26 receives the information received from the caller ID transmitting unit 25 of the SLC unit and displays the information, thereby providing a screen for transmitting or confirming information necessary for the user.

As described above, the present invention can check e-mail only with a caller ID terminal even if there is no PC connected to the network, thereby making it possible to check e-mail even in a home without a network.
