1 is a block diagram illustrating a system structure for subscribing to a mobile communication service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the subscription management server 130 and the subscription management server 130 are connected through the Internet 120. Is connected to a web site 137 provided by the user, and performs a subscription management of a mobile communication service provider that is connected to the subscription management server 130 through a store computer 110 and a store computer 110 provided in a mobile phone store. It is composed of a distributor computer 140. Here, only one store computer 110 connected to the subscription management server 130 is illustrated, but in reality, a plurality of store computers for which communication with the subscription management server 130 is pre-authenticated are the subscription management server 130. Of course, the processing for subscribing to the mobile communication service can be performed through

Referring to FIG. 1, a store computer 110 may be configured as a personal computer or a portable computer (eg, a laptop, a laptop, a PDA, etc.) and may be used by an authorized store operator. The retailer computer 110 is provided with a web browser to perform a subscription application for a user's mobile communication service and to open the first mobile phone 100 purchased by the user. The subscription management server 130 is provided through the Internet 120. Access the web site 137 provided by. To this end, the store computer 110 obtains the authority to access the web site 137 through the store electronic authentication procedure with the subscription management server 130 in advance.

The web site 137 provides a list of operators of sellable mobile communication services and a list of terminals sellable by each operator based on the information stored in the management DB 135 of the subscription management server 130. When the operator and the mobile phone model of the mobile communication service for the user are selected, the subscription application screen for inputting the user's subscription information is provided to conveniently enter the subscription information through the store computer 110 on the Internet to subscribe to the mobile communication service. Make the application available.

The subscription information may include a mobile communication service name, a mobile phone model, a mobile phone serial number, a user's personal identification information, a telephone number, a rate plan, a payment method, an additional service, a subsidy, a subscription fee payment method, a user's identification card and / or Replaces a previously signed application for enrollment, including electronic images of proof of identity documents (such as jpg, tif, etc.), such as a minor agreement to join a minor. The subscription information may further include electronic authentication information of the user who may replace the authentication authority of the retailer computer 110. The electronic authentication information of the user may be known electronic authentication information or other types of electronic authentication information such as an authentication number provided by the subscription management server 130 through the mobile terminal 115.

In addition, the store computer 110 may be directly or indirectly connected to the terminal 115 possessed by the store operator, and thus the short message service (SMS) may be referred to as a result of processing the subscription application through the terminal 115. It is provided through a message. In this case, the terminal 115 associated with the store computer 110 means that the terminal 115 is registered with the subscription management server 130 in association with the store computer 110. Therefore, the subscription management server 130 transmits an SMS message to the registered terminal 115 when there is a message to be transmitted to the store computer 110.

Specifically, when directly connected with the terminal 115, the store computer 110 communicates with the terminal 115 that the terminal 115 receives a result of the subscription application processing of the mobile terminal 100 for a specific user as an SMS message. It recognizes through means (communication cable, infrared rays, etc.), and inquires the processing state of the subscription application through the web site 137 and displays it on the screen. In the case of being indirectly connected with the terminal 115, the store computer 110 recognizes that the terminal 115 receives a subscription message processing result of the terminal 100 for a specific user by an input of a key of the store operator. Then, the processing result of the subscription application is inquired through the web site 137 and displayed on the screen.

Subsequently, the subscription management server 130 may provide a list of providers representing the types of mobile communication services (that is, service providers) provided by each mobile phone retailer, mobile phone models available for each service provider, for a plurality of associated retailer computers. Terminal list indicating sales price, relevant subscription condition, stock quantity, rebate amount, etc. is managed by a management database (DataBase: hereinafter referred to as DB) 135, and each user's subscription information requested for subscription by each store computer and The processing status for the subscription application is managed by the subscription DB 133.

The management DB 135 is based on the mobile communication service and mobile phone model for each retailer computer, the basic selling conditions (charge plan selection, additional service subscription, etc.), mobile phone sales price according to whether a new subscription or subsidies eligible subscription, joint Stores sales information of interest to the store operator, such as purchase or bargain mobile phone models, rebate payments that can be obtained at the store according to the sale of the mobile phone, and when a request is made from the store computer 110 or a subscription request is made, the website The sales information is provided through 137.

When the store computer 110 selects a specific mobile communication service and a mobile phone model name for a user and inputs subscription information to request a subscription, the subscription management server 130 transmits the subscription information to the mobile communication service and mobile phone model. In response to the retailer computer 110 with the name stored in the subscription DB 133 while notifying the distributor computer 140 that the subscription request for the user directly through the Internet (for example, using an instant messenger), The short message service (SMS) center 150 is requested to notify the mobile phone terminal 145, which is directly or indirectly associated with the agency computer 140, that the subscription request for the user has been requested. The SMS center 150 then transmits the SMS message to the terminal 145 via a mobile communication network (not shown) including a mobile switching center and a base station. At this time, the subscription DB 133 manages the subscription application status for the user as "reception". Meanwhile, the subscription management server 130 may check in advance whether the input subscription information is appropriate and whether the retailer computer 110 is authenticated before notifying the agency computer 140 that the subscription application is requested.

Herein, the terminal 145 associated with the agency computer 140 means that the terminal 145 is registered with the subscription management server 130 in association with the agency computer 140. Therefore, the subscription management server 130 transmits an SMS message to the registered terminal 145 when there is a message to be transmitted to the agency computer 140.

When directly connected with the terminal 145, the agency computer 140 indicates that the subscription request of the terminal 100 for a specific user is received as an SMS message to the terminal 145 (communication cable with the terminal 145). , Infrared, etc.), and the subscription application is processed immediately. When indirectly associated with the terminal 145, the agency computer 140 recognizes by the operator's key input that the subscription request of the terminal 100 for a specific user to the terminal 145 is received in an SMS message, Process your application immediately.

As an example, the agency computer 140 accesses a website (not shown) provided by the subscription management server 130 for a mobile service provider and receives at least one store computer computer for the mobile communication service. The subscription information is confirmed via the Internet, and the subscription information is processed with the recorded subscription information. The subscription information may be read from the subscription DB 133 of the subscription management server 130 in response to a request of the agency computer 140. To this end, the dealer computer 140 similarly authenticates the communication with the subscription management server 130 to obtain a right to access the web site. When the processing of the subscription application for a specific user is completed, the agency computer 140 inputs a phone number determined for the user in the web site to notify the subscription management server 130 that the subscription application is completed.

If the dealer computer 140 is notified that the user's subscription request is complete, for example, when the dealer computer 140 clicks a menu indicating that the subscription request is completed on the web site, the subscription management server 130 requests the subscription. Store the result of the processing in the subscription DB 133 to notify the store computer 110 that the subscription application for the user has been processed directly through the Internet (for example, using an instant messenger), The short message service center 150 is requested to notify the mobile phone 115 directly or indirectly connected that the subscription request for the user has been processed.

The subscription management server 130 manages the processing statuses for the one or more subscription applications requested by the retailer computer 110 as "received", "opening", or "opening completion", respectively, and the processing. Store and manage states in the subscription DB (133). Upon request of the store computer 110, the processing status for the subscription application is read from the subscription DB 133 and provided to the store computer 110 through the web site 137. When the processing status of the subscription application is "opening completion", the retailer computer 110 may click on the corresponding subscription application information to confirm the opened phone number and the finally confirmed subscription information. In addition, the subscription management server 130 updates and stores the stock quantity according to the mobile phone model managed for the corresponding store computer 110 in the management DB 135 as the processing for the subscription application is completed.

On the other hand, if the subscription information received by the store computer 110 is incorrect or insufficient, or if the user's authentication fails, the dealer computer 140 subscribes to correct the subscription information while processing the user's subscription application. Notify the management server 130. Then, the subscription management server 130 transmits the need for correction of the subscription information to the store computer 110 through an instant messenger or an SMS message. For example, the subscription management server 130 may store only the basic information (for example, a user name, a terminal model name / serial number, etc.) of a user whose subscription information needs to be corrected through an instance messenger or an SMS message. The store computer 110 accesses the web site 137 and specifically confirms the portion of the subscription information to be corrected, and then corrects the subscription information if necessary.

2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of a retailer computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the following, an embodiment in which a retailer computer securely identifies a retailer computer by securely connecting to a subscription management server will be shown. However, the retailer computer may access the subscription management server in a non-secure manner, and the electronic authentication information of the user included in the subscription information may be stored. An embodiment of authenticating subscription information is possible, of course.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 202, the retailer computer securely connects to a subscription management server through a web site. At this time, the retailer computer can securely identify the retailer computer accessing the web site and the corresponding store identification information from the subscription management server by inputting a previously authenticated ID and password through a web site and performing electronic authentication if necessary. In step 204, the store computer selects a desired mobile communication service from a list of providers provided to the web site. The selected mobile communication service corresponds to the operator of the mobile communication service that the user wants to subscribe to.

When the desired mobile communication service is selected, the retailer computer may check a list of terminals that can be provided for the mobile communication service on a web site. Through the above list, the selling price of each subscription condition and additional subscription conditions are provided for each terminal. Then, in step 206, the store computer selects a terminal that the user wants to use from the terminal list provided to the web site.

When the desired terminal is selected, the retailer computer checks an online subscription application, which is a subscription application screen for inputting subscription information necessary for subscribing to the mobile communication service, to the desired terminal on a web site, and displays the subscription application screen in step 208. Enter the necessary subscription information through. Figure 3 shows an example of an online subscription application according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the application form for on-line subscription is shown in case of subscribing to mobile communication service through number portability. As shown in the figure, the store computer includes the user's personal information such as a number port number, a customer name (user name), a desired number, a billing address, and a shipping address, as well as information necessary for subscribing to a service such as a plan or an additional service. Enter your sales information, such as grants and subscription fees, through your online subscription application.

In this case, the retailer computer may be provided with information on matters necessary for the mobile communication operator to open, deduct additional services, and additional payment. That is, through the online subscription application, the retailer computer automatically checks the revenue that can be obtained by selling the selected terminal model while inputting a plan and additional services selected by the user. In general, the retailer obtains additional rebates from the mobile communication service provider by selecting a specific plan and subscribing to an additional service while selling the terminal model. Therefore, the store computer enters a fee plan and an additional service selected by the user through an online subscription application on a website, and rebates each additional non-additional service or additional inducement from the amount of payments that can be obtained by selling the selected terminal model. Check the deduction or additional payment of the amount automatically in real time.

When the input of the subscription information is completed through the subscription application screen, the store computer transmits the subscription information to the subscription management server through the Internet in step 210, and waits for the result of processing the subscription application according to the subscription information in step 212. . Specifically, the processing result of the subscription application is notified from the subscription management server in the form of a pop-up window or an instance message through the Internet to the retailer computer, or an SMS message to a mobile phone terminal directly or indirectly linked to the retailer computer (for example, "Order subscription of customer OOO has been processed as" 010-1234-5678 "." If the processing result of the subscription application is normally received, in step 214, the retailer computer confirms and displays the detailed processing result of the subscription application through the web site and ends.

On the other hand, if the processing result of the subscription request is not received, in step 216 the store computer determines whether the inquiry is requested for the users for whom the subscription request has been made. If there is no inquiry request, the process returns to step 212. On the other hand, if there is an inquiry request, in step 218, the store computer receives and displays a subscription application list for users subscribed through the corresponding store from the subscription management server through a web site. The subscription application list includes a subscription application status such as "receive", "opening completion", "correction request" for each of the users applied for subscription through the retailer, and additionally, the time required since the subscription application is made. It includes more.

On the other hand, in step 220, the store computer confirms from the subscription request list a correction request indicating that the subscription information transmitted from the store computer has an error and cannot process the subscription application from the list, or via a pop-up window or an instance message. In order to correct (or re-enter) the subscription information when a correction request is received from the subscription management server or a correction request is received in the form of an SMS message to a mobile terminal connected directly or indirectly to a retailer computer. Return to step 208. If there is no request for correction, the process returns to step 212.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a subscription management server according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, the embodiment in the case where the subscription management server securely identifies the store computer by secure connection with the store computer is shown.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 402, the subscription management server recognizes that the store computer is securely connected through the web site. At this time, the subscription management server securely identifies the store computer through the ID and password entered by the store computer. Here, the subscription management server may check the store identification information for the ID and password. The store identification information may be a code or serial number or a store name assigned to each store computer or store in order to identify a plurality of store computers or stores. The subscription management server stores a plurality of store identification information, and if an ID and a password are input from the store computer, the subscription management server searches for and confirms a corresponding store identification number.

In step 404, the subscription management server receives a selection of a desired mobile communication service from a retailer computer after providing a list of operators representing mobile communication services that can be provided by the retailer computer through a web site. In operation 406, the subscription management server provides a list of terminals available for sale by the retailer computer through the web site for the selected mobile communication service, and receives a selection of a desired terminal from the retailer computer.

In step 408, the subscription management server provides an online subscription application, which is a subscription application screen for inputting subscription information necessary for subscribing to the selected mobile communication service, to the retailer computer through a web site, and inputs necessary subscription information. Receive. An example of the subscription request screen is as shown in FIG. 3. When the input of the subscription information is completed, in step 410, the subscription management server updates the subscription application list for the retailer computer by storing the inputted subscription information in the subscription DB corresponding to the retailer identification information corresponding to the retailer computer, In the step 412, the subscription information has been entered, a notification is sent to the dealer computer via the Internet, or in the form of an SMS message on a mobile terminal connected directly or indirectly to the dealer computer (for example, "there is a customer waiting for opening.") 414 In the step, the subscription management server provides the entered subscription information to the distributor computer through a web site in response to a request of the distributor computer. At this time, the agency computer is provided with a subscription request list for each service representing users who have requested to subscribe to the mobile communication service.

Thereafter, in step 416, the subscription management server determines whether a response to the subscription request is received from the agency computer through the web site. If not, proceeds to step 418; otherwise, proceeds to step 420. As an example, the subscription management server determines whether the processing status of the subscription request is changed by the agency computer. If it is changed, it is determined whether a response to the subscription request is received. As another example, a message indicating that a subscription request for specific subscription information has been processed from the agency computer to the subscription management server may be transmitted via the instant messenger.

In step 418, the subscription management server determines whether a correction request for the subscription information has been received from the retailer computer through a web site. If there is a correction request, the process returns to step 408 to receive new subscription information.

In step 420, the subscription management server determines whether the response received from the agency computer through the web site is a request for correction of the subscription information. If it is a correction request, in step 422, the request for correction is transmitted to the retailer computer through the Internet or via an SMS message, and the subscription application status of the corresponding subscription information is updated to "correction request" in the subscription application list of the corresponding retailer computer stored in the subscription DB. After that, the process returns to step 408 to receive new subscription information.

On the other hand, if the response from the agency computer is not a correction request, the response indicates the processing result for the subscription request. Therefore, in step 424, the subscription management server updates the subscription application status of the subscription information to "opening completion" in the subscription application list of the corresponding store computer stored in the subscription DB by referring to the processing result for the subscription application, and in step 426 You will be notified as a result of the processing of the subscription application (for example, "Your OOO subscription request has been processed as" 010-1234-4567 ") via the Internet or via an SMS message to a computer.

Although not shown, the subscription management server may read the subscription application list for each retailer registered for the retailer computer from the subscription DB at any time and provide it to the retailer computer through a web site. This makes it easy for the retailer computer to check the status of subscriptions for all current users. In addition, the subscription application status, the retailer computer can check the rebate assigned to the retailer computer through the detailed information on each subscription application status, and if necessary, the overall sales performance, that is, the total amount of the rebate through the website.

As described above, the dealer computer also accesses the subscription management server through the web site. At this time, the subscription management server may separately operate or integrate the web site to which the retailer computer accesses and the web site to which the dealership computer accesses. Similarly, the reseller computer enters a pre-authenticated username and password through the web site and, if necessary, performs electronic authentication to identify the reseller computer accessing the web site from the subscription management server. When the distributor computer accesses the web site, the subscription management server provides the agency computer with a list of subscription requests for each distributor through the web site. The subscription list for each dealership includes customer names, subscription information, and subscription application status of users subscribed to the mobile communication service, and subscriptions according to subscription information received from a store computer and each subscription information received from a distributor computer. It is updated by the processing result of the application.

Figure 5 shows an example of the subscription request list for each dealer in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the subscription list for each agency includes an application classification, a terminal model name, a serial number, an opening date, a confirmation number, a provisional number, an opening time, a time required, and a status for each user applied for subscription.

The distributor computer checks each subscription information in the subscription application list for each dealership, registers, opens the mobile communication service for the terminal using the subscription information, enters a confirmation number through the website, and then sends it to the subscription management server. A response indicating the result of processing the subscription application is transmitted via the Internet. At this time, the agency computer changes the subscription application state of the subscription information of the subscription application list for each agency into "opening completed". If the subscription information is inaccurate or insufficient, or the user's authentication fails, the dealer computer changes the subscription application status of the subscription information in the subscription request list of the dealership into "correction request", and over the Internet. Notifies the subscription management server that the subscription information needs to be corrected.
