In addition, the step of extracting only the telephone number database having agreement on the telephone number registrant's acceptance of the use of information from the telephone number database 60 may be configured to perform before checking the telephone number file.

In addition, after comparing the telephone number database and the telephone number database 60 file of the client-side terminal with each other, it may be further configured to indicate the rate that the extracted data to be updated occupies in the total data.

In addition, when there is an update request from the client terminal and the telephone number database file is updated, the fee may be calculated and output to the client terminal.

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

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a personal mobile terminal 40, a personal computer 42, a corporate web server 44, and a mobile communication terminal 46 connected to the wired / wireless Internet 70 are provided. In order to know whether a personal phone number or a customer phone number of an individual or a company is changed or terminated by using a client-side terminal such as the above, first, in step S10 shown in FIG. When the telephone number database file is uploaded to the telephone number matching server 50 in step S12, the telephone number file in the client terminal is transmitted to the telephone number matching server 50 via the Internet 70, and the file is stored again. It is temporarily stored in a specific allocation space of the machine 62.

Then, the telephone number matching server 50 has an extension of the uploaded telephone number file to analyze whether the telephone number file uploaded from the client terminal in step S14 of FIG. 2 is a file that can be read by the telephone number matching server 50. If it is determined to exist by judging whether it exists in the extension list of the readable file previously input to the telephone number matching server 50, it is determined as a readable file. Will be considered.

In this case, when the phone number file uploaded in step S16 of FIG. 2 is an unreadable file, the phone number matching server 50 ends the operation because the file cannot be read, and the uploaded phone number file is a file that can be read. In this case, the next scheduled command will be executed.

That is, when the telephone number file uploaded from the client terminal has an extension such as "dbf" or "xls", it is regarded as a readable database file, and the telephone number file is "jpg" or "gif". If the extension has the same extension as "pdf", it is not a database file. Therefore, the file is considered unreadable and the command execution is stopped.

At this time, if the uploaded phone number file is an unreadable file, the phone number matching server 50 is a client-side terminal, for example, "This file is an unreadable file, so please upload it after converting it into a readable database file." The user can be converted to a file that can be matched by outputting a guide message such as a phone number matching, and outputting an extension of the file that can be matched to the client side terminal to be converted to a database file that can be matched. .

If the telephone number file uploaded from the client side terminal is determined to be a readable file, the telephone number matching server 50 calls from the telephone number database 60 connected to the database server 54 in step S18 of FIG. After accessing the number file information, in step S20 in FIG.

That is, the phone number collation or update contains the phone subscriber's personal information, so the phone subscriber's consent must be obtained. For this purpose, only the information having consent to the use of the information is extracted in step S20 and prepared for use in matching and updating.

Thereafter, in step S22 of FIG. 2, the phone number file uploaded from the client terminal is compared with the phone number data having consent to use the information. In this case, the comparison between the phone number file uploaded from the client terminal and the phone number database is performed. For example, find the first matching phone number, and then compare sequentially whether other additional information (such as name, residential address, e-mail, etc.) located in the same field as the phone number matches. If present, it is regarded as data to be updated and extracted and stored in the file storage 62 in step S24 of FIG.

That is, if there is a difference in the number of fields in the telephone number file existing in the telephone number database 60 and the telephone number file uploaded from the client terminal, the comparison is made based on the small number of fields, and the remaining non-comparable fields are ignored. In particular, if the telephone number, name, address (resident address or address on the resident registration) is a field to be compared, and it is determined that there is no data in any one, it is treated as uncomparable.

In addition, after the data to be updated is extracted from the telephone number file uploaded from the terminal on the client side, in step S26 of FIG. 2, in order to inform the user how accurate the telephone number file in the terminal on the client side has. By calculating the proportion of data to be updated in the data, for example, "The requested telephone number file has an accuracy of xx% as a result of verification." At a glance, I can see how much of the phone number file I need to be updated, and at the same time, the lower the data accuracy of the requested phone number file, the more the user can benefit from the request for the file update.

On the other hand, when a signal for the update request to collectively update the telephone number file uploaded from the client terminal in step S28 of FIG. 2 is transmitted to the telephone number matching server 50, the file storage 62 in step S30 of FIG. The telephone number file uploaded from the client side terminal is collectively updated in accordance with the telephone number database 60 based on the update information stored in the terminal, and the telephone number updated in the user allocation space of the file storage 62 in step S32 of FIG. After saving the file, the appropriate fee according to the updated amount in step S34 of FIG. 2 is output to the client side terminal to encourage payment.

Thereafter, the user requesting the telephone number update accesses the telephone number matching server 50 by using a client terminal connected to the wired / wireless Internet 70, and then passes the membership authentication procedure. You will be able to access the specific storage space of the) so that you can download the updated phone number file back to your client terminal and have the phone number file of the correct information cleaned.

The present invention as described above is configured to extract the update information compared to the telephone number database when uploading a telephone number file owned by an individual or a company, and then update and provide the correct telephone number database when there is an update request. As a result, it is effective to improve the accuracy of phone number information owned by an individual or a company. Since the matching and updating are all batched automatically, the cost and time required for checking and updating are greatly increased. It is possible to save the effect of increasing the utilization of information.
