Such user information may be used not only as interlocking information for interworking with a plurality of web pages in the corresponding portal but also as information for user authentication.

The system according to the present invention configured as described above may provide various methods for interworking with a specific web page, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, respectively.

2 is a first exemplary view for explaining a method of interworking with a web page using a virtual telephone number according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, a method for accessing a wireless Internet to a web page using a preset virtual phone number will be described. In order to access a specific web page, the user may request access to the corresponding web page through a preset telephone number and an Internet access key set in the corresponding web page (S201).

As a protocol for such a wireless Internet connection, a wireless internet platform for interoperability (WIPI) or a wireless application protocol (WAP) may be used.

When the exchange receives the access request from the mobile terminal, the exchange may check whether the called phone number matches the preset virtual phone number according to the access request.

For example, the virtual telephone number is an identification number '020' for identifying the virtual telephone number, such as' 020-0001-0001 ', a portal number' 0001 'for each portal, and a web number' 0001 for each web page in the portal. 'May be defined as. That is, the exchange may determine whether the incoming telephone number is a virtual telephone number by analyzing the identification number (S202).

The present invention is not necessarily limited to the virtual telephone number configured as described above, and may be variously set in consideration of the type of portal or the number of web pages in the portal.

If it is determined that the called phone number is a virtual phone number, the exchange may request interworking information for linking to the corresponding web page, that is, the address of the web page, to a separate integrated portal according to the access request (S203). This is because the integrated portal stores the location information of the corresponding application server for each portal, for example, daum, naver, and blue.

The integrated portal may retrieve the location information of the application server corresponding to the portal number by checking the portal number of the called phone number (S204). Such location information may mean information such as Uniform Resource Location (URL) and Universal Resource Identifier (URI) information.

The integrated portal may request the address of the web page corresponding to the web number of the called phone number to the application server based on the retrieved location information (S205). For example, the integrated portal provides a web number of the called phone number to the corresponding application server and may be provided with an address of a web page corresponding thereto.

When the application server receives the request of the address of the web page, the application server may perform user authentication on the mobile terminal (S206). After the user authentication, the application server may retrieve the user information including the address of the web page corresponding to the web number (S207) and provide the address of the corresponding web page included in the user information to the requesting integrated portal. Then, the integrated portal may provide the address of the provided web page to the exchange (S208).

Through this user authentication, when the user accesses the web page, the user can be provided with the web page automatically logged in without going through a login process.

The exchange may check the address of the provided web page (S209), and request a connection to the corresponding web page in the application server based on this (S210). When receiving a connection response from the corresponding web page in the application server (S211), the mobile terminal can then access the web page (S212). Of course, since the user has been authenticated, you can be provided with a web page that is automatically logged in. If you are not a registered user on the web page, you will be provided with a non-logged web page.

3 is a second exemplary view for explaining a method of interworking with a web page using a virtual phone number according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, a method of connecting a voice call or a video call to a subscriber who operates a web page using a preset virtual phone number is as follows.

That is, the exchange may determine whether the incoming telephone number is a virtual telephone number by analyzing the identification number (S302).

If it is determined that the called phone number is a virtual phone number, the exchange may request interworking information for interworking with the corresponding web page, that is, the telephone number of the user who operates the web page, to a separate integrated portal according to the call connection request (S303). . Of course, not only a user who operates the web page but also a user who can represent the web page may be preset.

The integrated portal may retrieve the location information of the application server corresponding to the portal number by checking the portal number of the called phone number (S304). The integrated portal may request a phone number of a user operating or representing a web page corresponding to the web number of the called phone number based on the retrieved location information to the application server (S305).

When the application server receives a request for the telephone number of the user who operates the web page, the application server may perform user authentication for the mobile terminal (S306). After user authentication, the application server retrieves the user information including the telephone number of the user who operates the corresponding web page corresponding to the web number (S307), and retrieves the telephone number of the user who operates the corresponding web page included in the user information. This can be provided to the requesting integration portal. Then, the integrated portal may provide the telephone number of the user who operates the provided web page to the exchange (S308).

The reason for performing the user authentication is to block the spam call in advance by preventing the leakage of personal information such as the phone number of the user who is subscribed to the user who is not subscribed to the web page.

The exchange may check the telephone number of the user who operates the web page provided in this way (S309), and may request a call connection to the user who operates the corresponding web page in the application server based on this (S310). When receiving a call connection response from the user who operates the web page (S311), the mobile terminal may then connect a voice call or a video call to the user's receiving mobile terminal (S311).

Of course, the exchange may not only automatically connect the call to the user who operates or represents the web page, but may also provide the user's telephone number to the mobile terminal.

As shown in FIG. 4, a method of registering a message on a web page using a preset virtual telephone number is described below. The mobile terminal may generate a message including the virtual telephone number used as the called phone number and transmit the generated message to the message service center (S401).

When the message service center receives the message from the mobile terminal, the message service center may check whether the called phone number included in the message matches the preset virtual phone number. That is, the message service center may determine whether the called phone number is a virtual phone number by analyzing the identification number (S402).

If the message service center determines that the called phone number is a virtual phone number, the message service center may transmit a message to a separate integrated portal (S403). By checking the portal number of the called phone number, the integrated portal retrieves the location information of the application server corresponding to the portal number (S404), and requests the application server to register a message on the web page based on the retrieved location information. There is (S405).

In this case, the message may mean a short message service (SMS) message, a long message service (LMS) message, a multimedia message service (MMS) message, and the like. For example, a message for registering on a web page may be provided, for example, in response to an invitation / notification or a voting / survey on an event provided on a blog or a personal homepage, or to be stored in a guest book or a separate mailbox. May contain content. Since the present invention can respond to a specific event only by sending such a simple message, the user's participation rate can be improved as well as the cost that could be caused by the wireless Internet connection.

When the application server receives a request for registering a message on a web page, the application server may perform user authentication on the mobile terminal that transmits the message (S406). After user authentication, the application server may retrieve the user information including the address of the corresponding web page corresponding to the web number, and request registration of the message to the corresponding web page based on this (S407). Then, the web page may register a previously received message (S408) and provide the registration result to the mobile terminal (S409). These messages may be registered in specific areas, such as bulletin boards, guestbooks, or mailboxes within web pages. Virtual phone numbers will need to be further refined.

In addition, the reason for performing the user authentication is to disallow the registration of spam messages from users who are not subscribed to the web page, as described above.

As described above, the present invention can upload various information to the web page without the hassle of accessing the wireless Internet and inputting the address of the web page.
