Description

Audio / video e-mail system and audio / video mailing method and advertising method using the same {E-mail system of audio / video type and mailing method of audio / video, and advertisement method of the same}

The present invention relates to an electronic mail using the Internet, and more particularly, to an electronic mail system, a mailing method, and an advertisement method using the same for transmitting a file created by audio / video to a recipient through an internet network.

With the increase in the number of Internet users around the world, the number of users using e-mail is increasing rapidly, and most users are using e-mail in the form of text.

Recently, as the high-speed communication network is spreading in each home, it is possible to transmit multimedia data with a large amount of data, and gradually users who use multimedia mail services such as card mail, voice mail, and video mail It is increasing. In addition, the advertisements of the media are put in this mail to enhance the advertising effect.

In the case of the card mail, the user selects one of a plurality of predefined moving images or still images according to the content of the message to be delivered by the user, and sends the mail by separately inputting the information to be transmitted to the other party in text form. Is being done.

However, in the case of the card mail method, since the information to be transmitted must be input in a text form, it is not a true multimedia. In addition, since only the image is added to the conventional text-type mail, there are limitations in expressing various personalities of users.

In the case of voice mail, the user's voice or music (or background music) can be sent by mail, so the feeling of the sender to the recipient can be conveyed through voice. It has the advantage of less effort.

However, in the case of the voice mail, it can be said that it satisfies the human desire to some extent compared to the text, but it has a limit to satisfy all the human desire to convey a more realistic and vivid feeling.

In other words, watching TV is more lively than listening to the radio.

The solution to these problems is videomail, a video.

This video mail is a mail service that can convey the real and vivid feelings of the sender as it can convey the voice of the sender along with the facial expression of the sender through voice and video images.

However, the conventional video mail has a weak point that does not cause the interest of the teenagers and thirties, the Internet's main user base, which focuses on the fun because it simply records the user's video input to the camera and adds it as a file in the mail. .

In addition, the first-time users or elderly users who are new to video mail have a problem that they are not accustomed to expressing their feelings or conveying messages in front of the camera and are reluctant to use them.

In addition, in order to use a conventional video mail, first, a picture of yourself from an image input apparatus must be recorded as a video and stored therein. The stored video is edited according to the user's wishes such as inversion, mosaic, black and white contrast, embossing, and sketch effect through the video editing program, and the background music is added to the edited video file and saved again. . Then, after creating a mail in the mail sending program, the video file stored up to the background music should be sent with the file attached.

Because of the hassle of sending a video mail through a number of production stages, it is often not welcomed by the elderly as well as early and middle-aged people.

In addition, in order to produce video mail, it is necessary to secure an expensive video editing program on a personal computer.

Even if a video editing program is secured on a desktop computer in the home, it is almost impossible for a user to create and send a video e-mail while traveling or traveling due to the limited space in the home.

In addition, in the case of an e-mail transmitted and received from a personal computer to a personal computer, when the video or audio mail compressed with MPEG1 or MPEG2 is directly attached and sent, the following problems arise.

That is, a large amount of storage media is required at the receiving terminal, and a large amount of transmission paths flowing through the digital network is wasted when unnecessary video mails are received, and storage media by downloading when receiving unnecessary video mails, reception time, and play time. This is wasted.

In addition, in the advertisement, the contents of the conventional communication means such as TV, newspapers, magazines, etc., recently increased rapidly through the increase of the Internet network website, and commercial websites maintained by the income of advertisements were also created. .

The more visitors to such sites, that is, the more hits, the greater the effectiveness of advertisements posted on the site in the form of banners, etc., thus attracting many advertisers.

Therefore, these commercial websites provide useful information or functions to attract many visitors. Recently, there are even more sites that provide useful information and even pay for the advertisements of potential customers. Got out.

However, there is an advantage in that advertisements can be delivered to many people at the same time. However, there are very few people who are interested in the contents of advertisements, and how many advertisements are actually delivered to consumers. It is also difficult to confirm the delivery.

Therefore, in order to overcome the limitations of such advertisements, the advertisement provider has paid much attention to the so-called targeted advertising that selectively delivers advertisements by selecting people who are interested in the contents of the advertisements.

In other words, by selectively displaying advertisements according to the characteristics of TV programs such as cosmetics advertisements in women's magazines, subscription targets of the magazines, and contents of websites, the advertisements are displayed to those who actually have the purchasing power of the products targeted for the advertisements. Efforts to convey.

However, this is also an advertisement that is delivered to a large number of people, and most people are not willing to purchase an advertisement product, so it has a limit to increase the interest of the advertisement and to watch the advertisement.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new e-mail service that can freely transmit a video and a voice.

Another object of the present invention is to increase the viewer rating of the advertisement delivered through the e-mail to increase the effect according to the advertisement.

In addition, the receiving unit 30 receives the audio / video e-mail received from the main unit 20 and the confirmation unit 31 sharing information to perform the connection with the main server 20 in a streaming manner, and displays the screen. The display unit 32 reproduces in real time.

The mailing method of the audio / video electronic mail system according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a diagram illustrating a mailing method of an audio / video electronic mail system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, first, in order to use audio / video e-mail, a user must pay a predetermined amount to the main server through the transmitter 10.

As the payment method, various payment methods such as cash, mobile phone, RF card, and credit card can be used. In addition, the amount of money is differentiated according to the shooting time, and the sender can select whether to attach the advertisement image so that the settlement amount is discounted when the advertisement image is attached.

In this way, after the sender makes a payment to the main server 20, the sender inputs an e-mail address, a name and a password or a mobile phone number and a password of the mail recipient through an external input unit 16, such as a keyboard or a touch panel, In addition, the user selects an advertisement image to be attached, such as an audio / video video to be produced (S10).

In this case, the advertisement image to be attached does not have to be selected as an option.

And the sender inputs through an input window provided on the display as shown in FIG.

5, when a sender enters a recipient's e-mail address in a window for entering a recipient, the sender is defined to be delivered to the recipient through a mail account, and the recipient's name and password or a mobile phone number and password are entered. In this case, the recipient is defined to access the main server 20 site separately and check the mail.

That is, when a mobile phone number is input, a site address and a password of the main server 20 are transmitted through an e-mail arrival message to a recipient mobile phone by using a short message service (SMS) function.

As such, when the input of the mail reception information is completed, the sender records the video including the voice and the background music for a predetermined time through the imager 11 and the microphone 12 in the transmitter 10 (S20).

At this time, the transmitter 10 configures the display unit 15 to directly check the necessary information such as the mail recipient's input and his own video being recorded.

Next, the transmitter 10 performs port access to enable communication with the main server 20 (S30).

When all the video recording is finished, the main server 20 checks the current program version with the transmitter 10 (S40). At this time, if the versions are different from each other (S50) to download the new version from the main server 20 to the transmitter 10 to be automatically installed in the transmitter 10 (S60).

The transmission unit 10 filters and formats the recorded video through the A / V processing unit 13 based on the installed program, converts the recorded video into a corresponding format, and then compresses the data through the symmetric / asymmetric data encoder 14. And encrypting (S70).

In this case, the symmetrical / asymmetrical data encoder used is a form of an encryption algorithm, in which the key used for encryption and the key used for decryption are used in the same manner, and the asymmetric encoding algorithm is used for encryption. The key and the key used for decryption are used in different ways.

The symmetric encryption algorithms include Data Encryption Standard (DES), International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA), and Fast Data Encryption Algorithm (FEAL) .Asymmetric encryption algorithms include RSA encryption, Rabin encryption, and ECC (Elliptic Curve). Cryptography).

In the case of the compression, video and audio are compressed through MPEG4, which has a compression ratio of 1/20 of the original file.

Subsequently, the transmitter 10 checks the network status up to the main server 20, the degree of load on the server system, the compression ratio of the encoded image, the data capacity, the status of the transmitter, the input of information required for the mail, and the like.

When the inspection is completed, the encrypted e-mail information is transmitted to the main server 20 through the TCP / IP network, and when data transmission is completed, data integrity check is performed between the transmitter 10 and the main server 20. . If there is no abnormality, the port connection between the transmitter 10 and the main server 20 is terminated (S80).

When the compressed and encrypted file is transmitted to the main server 20 through the transmitter 10, the main server 20 first decrypts the file using the symmetric / asymmetric data decryption unit 21 (S90). .

In this case, the symmetrical / asymmetrical data decoder 21 used is the same as the symmetrical / asymmetrical data encoder 14, but only the keys used are reversed.

Subsequently, the data retrieval unit 22 retrieves the transmission unit, the size of the decoded data, and the form of the mail to be received.

Then, an index that is a unique key value is generated in the searched data, and the generated index value is stored in a user image DB as a file name (S90).

At this time, the advertisement image DB is stored in advance corresponding to each specific transmission unit 10, which is updated from time to time at the request of the advertiser and the specific public relations.

The processor 23 dynamically combines the general advertisement link selected by the sender among the image stored in the user image DB and the advertisement image pre-stored in the advertisement image DB, and the promotional advertisement link defined in the corresponding transmission unit. The connection relationship is stored in the image DB (S110).

In this case, when the format of the image retrieved from the data retrieval unit 22 is transmitted through a TCP / IP network such as a web mail service or MS-Outlook, the processing unit 23 is processed in a form 20 of a mail form. When the transmission to the mobile service switching center through a mobile communication network such as a wireless mobile terminal is processed in the form 20 of the SMS form.

Subsequently, the processing unit 23 operates a server mailer program, which is a program capable of sending mail based on the stored data.

That is, the server mailer program sends a link mail through an external mail engine when the recipient is a transmission through a TCP / IP network such as a web mail service and MS-Outlook (S120).

If the recipient address is a mobile phone number, the mobile terminal transmits mail reception information via SMS through a Mobile Service Switching Center (MSC).

The receiver then receives an acknowledgment mail to the receiver 30.

When the recipient is notified of the receipt confirmation message by SMS, the corresponding receiver accesses the homepage of the main server 20, inputs the recipient information and password through an input window as shown in FIG. 8, and performs a login. You can also check the audio / video e-mail sent to you.

At this time, the recipient information and the password are received through an acknowledgment mail received through SMS.

When the recipient is notified of the receipt confirmation mail by the mail service, the recipient receives the mail form as shown in FIG. 6, and the recipient uses the mouse to hyperlink the image with the main server to the receipt confirmation message without additional authentication procedure. If selected, it is automatically connected to the main server (S130).

As such, when the receiver is connected to the main server, the receiver checks the audio / video video in real time through the streaming method in the main server to the display unit 32 in the receiver 30 (S140).

At this time, the main server 20 produces an e-mail using information on the character and the location transmitted from the transmitter 10, and informs the receiver 30 of who the e-mail is from.

In addition, the receiver 30 connects to the main server 20 so that the audio / video e-mail can be viewed in a streaming manner in real time, so that the receiver has a correlation with the usage capacity of the receiver 30 that he / she has. Audio / video e-mail can be checked without

In this way, the recipient can use his or her mail account as it is, and access the main server 20 through the Internet to check the audio / video e-mail sent to him.

In addition, the main server 20 can monitor all the status related to the transmission and reception unit 10 and 30 through the centralized control, and can update the advertisement through the advertiser or a specific public relations agency, and the transmission and reception unit 10 (30) and connection, management, checking the billing status, and the state of the transmitter 30 can be easily determined and managed, so that various management and maintenance is easy.

In addition, by combining and editing the advertisement mail in the main server 20 to provide to the receiving unit 30, it is possible to accurately determine the frequency of use and response of the advertisement, it is possible to provide accurate data according to the advertisement to advertisers and public relations agencies have.

The advertisement method using the mailing method of the audio / video e-mail according to the present invention as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4A through 4C are timing diagrams illustrating a method of dynamically combining a user image and an advertisement image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the advertisement image is connected to the front and rear ends of the user image and played.

In this case, when the advertisement video is linked before and after the user's video, the recipient selects the hyperlink image to check the mail, and the CGI (Common-Gateway-Interface) receiving the command performs the following operation on the main server.

First, it analyzes the parameters included in the command, extracts the unique key value given to the video, and stores the file name.

Secondly, it stores the file names of two advertisement images defined in the combined image DB.

Thirdly, the video link file including the stored three file names (including the web path) is virtually generated.

Fourthly, the above video link file is automatically analyzed and screened sequentially in the recipient web browser. At this time, each link attached to the video link file uses another CGI to secure the web document. This means that the client should provide the file type (content-type, content-transfer-encoding) of the video file. It detects this video and immediately reads the video file in binary format and delivers it.

In this first embodiment, when the recipient selects a hyperlink image to confirm the received audio / video e-mail, the receiver continues to wait for the user's video, even if the video is played in front of the user's video. Will be watching the screen. This will have a high advertising viewership.

On the other hand, if the recipient re-watches the received audio / video e-mail several times, it may have a rejection response to the same advertising image. By allowing the selected advertisement video to be excluded by the user's selection, the receiver can view only the original user video when checking the same audio / video e-mail more than once.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, a picture in picture (PIP) configuring a plurality of screen windows for displaying an advertisement image and another screen for displaying a user image, respectively, on the display unit 32 in the receiver 30. It uses a method of playing multiple images at the same time.

This second embodiment has the effect of minimizing the discomfort associated with the combination of the advertising image by eliminating the time spent on the advertisement viewing separately to allow the receiver to watch the user image.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4C, the receiver selects a hyperlink image to watch the transmitted audio / video video, or the sender selects a transmission code to send an audio / video e-mail generated by the receiver. In this case, the reception unit and the transmission unit are waiting for a predetermined time loading state due to the preparation step for reproduction.

Therefore, this third embodiment is a way to play the advertisement mail during this waiting time.

In this case, the advertisement mail is not necessarily a video, but may be a still image, a banner advertisement, a caption advertisement, or a still screen.

In the above methods, the sender may select an advertisement image which is separately combined with the user image at the time of transmission, and the audio generated by the transmitter 10 based on the selected advertisement image by the processor 23 in the main server 20. / Video Defines to dynamically combine e-mail and advertisement video saved in advertisement video DB.

In this case, the advertisement image stored in the advertisement image DB may be divided into a general advertisement and a promotional advertisement.

General advertisements are general advertisements that are requested by advertisers and are used for the purpose of providing separate information regardless of the installation location. Depending on the sender's choice, the general advertisement may be inserted or removed from the produced audio / video e-mail. On the other hand, promotional advertisements are advertisements that must be attached to the image taken by the user in relation to the installation place of the transmitter. Advertisements are advertisements that promote information of tourist attractions in the case of tourist attractions and stores in the case of stores.

Therefore, the general advertisements are advertisements of general advertisers irrespective of the installation place. When the sender combines the general advertisements with a user image and transmits them, a discount of a use fee or a discount coupon of the corresponding advertisement company is provided as a complementary product. Will receive.

In the case of a promotional advertisement, the advertisement is used for information on the installed place and the publicity of the company, which may allow the subject of the installed place to use the user free of charge for promoting his / her own promotion or selling a specific product.

In this case, the promotional advertisement can be provided to the user free of charge in the case of a hotel, a tourist attraction, or a movie theater. This is possible because it can effectively provide advertising.

In addition, in the case of promotional advertising, as shown in Fig. 7, a separate acknowledgment mail form engraved with the logo of the business can be transmitted to the receiver, thereby obtaining an indirect advertising effect.

As described above, in the case of the general advertisement or the promotional advertisement, since the combination with the user image is made by the sender's will, the user's discomfort caused by the conventional random advertisement mail can be appropriately eliminated.

In addition, in the form of kiosks described in the present embodiment, it is located in tourist attractions, movie theaters, universities, department stores, military units, and chain stores (franchise), so that the user can take audio wherever there is a kiosk on the go. You can create and send video mail, so you are not limited by time and space.

In addition, by providing the solution to each individual through the production of a solution form, it can be very effective in areas requiring close relationship with customers such as insurance companies and automobile sales companies that require customer management using audio / video e-mail.
