The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

The messages described below include text messages, SMS, voice messages, videos, images, and the like.

1 is a diagram illustrating a message service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the message service providing system includes a calling terminal 100 for inputting a message, and a message service device 200 transmitting a message from the calling terminal 100 to the called terminal 300.

The calling terminal 100 transmits a message transmission request signal to the message service device 200 requesting transmission to a called number with an authentication code added to the called terminal number with respect to the message input by the user. Here, the authentication code is for authenticating the called party, and is generated by using personal information that the sender and the message service device have in common.

The calling terminal 100 includes a corporate customer message sending device 110 and a general personal user terminal 160 for transmitting a large amount of messages, such as credit card companies, banks, telecommunications companies, insurance companies.

The corporate customer message sending device 110 is such as credit card companies, banks, carriers, insurance companies, such as credit card payment information, bank transaction history, membership point usage history, premium payment history, online purchase and shipping information, such as most of the transaction details, etc. Refers to a device that sends a message.

The corporate customer message sending device 110 has personal information of a customer, and the message service device 200 also has personal information of a customer. Therefore, without sharing the personal information of both sides to each other, only by passing the authentication code generated by the rule so that the user of the called terminal number is not another user does not deliver the message.

A detailed description of the enterprise customer message sending device 110 as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

The personal user terminal 160 refers to a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone, a wired communication terminal, a terminal capable of communicating in a CPNS environment, a short range wireless communication terminal, and the like, with reference to FIG. 3.

The message service device 200 analyzes the message transmission request signal from the calling terminal 100 to determine whether the called number includes an authentication code, and if the authentication code is included from the previously stored customer information database. The authentication code mapped to the called terminal number is extracted to determine whether it matches the authentication code included in the called number, and if it matches, the message is transmitted to the called terminal number.

A detailed description of the message service device 200 performing the above role will be given with reference to FIG. 4.

As can be seen in the system configured as described above, the calling terminal 100 attaches an authentication code for verifying the called party to a predetermined position such as the front and the back of the called terminal number when the message is transmitted, and the message service apparatus 200 sends the request. Check the authentication code of the real user and deliver the message only if the authentication code matches.

Hereinafter, a case in which the calling terminal 100 requests the transmission of a message by attaching an authentication code to the end of the called terminal number will be described.

For example, when sending a message to the telephone number "010-1234-5678", if the authentication code created using the called party's personal information is "9", the sender requests to send the message by entering 010-1234-5678-9. The message service device 200 analyzes 010-1234-5678-9 and confirms that the called terminal number is "010-1234-5678" and the authentication code is "9", and then the previously stored authentication code is "9." Only deliver messages.

In the above description, the message service device 200 checks the authentication code of the real user and describes a method of transmitting a message to the called terminal 300 when the authentication codes match, but the called terminal 300 authenticates the real user. You can also check the code and print a message only if the authentication code matches.

In this case, the calling terminal 100 performs the same operation as described above, and the message service device 200 extracts the called terminal number by analyzing the message transmission request signal from the calling terminal 100. The message output request signal including the message, the called number and the calling terminal number is transmitted to the extracted called terminal number.

Then, the called terminal 300 analyzes the message output request signal from the message service device 200 to determine whether the called number includes the authentication code, and if the authentication code is included in the called number It compares the authentication code and its own authentication code to determine whether the match, and if it matches, outputs the message.

Such a method can be useful for credit card companies, insurance companies, banks, membership service companies that send a lot of messages, and even if an individual has changed his / her phone number when sending a message to a friend's phone number that he has not contacted for a long time. Do not forward the message.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of an apparatus for sending a corporate customer message shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the corporate customer message sending device 110 may include a communication interface 112, a customer information database 114, an authentication code register 128, and a user input for receiving a user command through a communication network. 116, the authentication code presence determination unit 118, the called number extracting unit 120, and a message sending unit 122.

The customer information database 114 stores terminal number for each customer, personal information, authentication code, and a called number with an authentication code added to the terminal number. Here, the personal information refers to a name, resident registration number, date of birth, address, etc., and the authentication code is for the called party authentication, which is generated using the personal information.

The authentication code registration unit 128 generates an authentication code using the personal information when the terminal number and the personal information of a newly registered customer are registered through the input unit 116, and the generated authentication code is used. Mapping with the terminal number and personal information is registered in the customer information database 114. In this case, the authentication code registration unit 128 may generate the called number by adding the generated authentication code to the corresponding terminal number, and may store the generated called number in the customer information database 114.

The authentication code presence determination unit 118 searches for the customer information database 114 when the message and the destination terminal number are input through the input unit 116, whether the authentication code mapped to the destination terminal number exists. Judge.

That is, the authentication code presence determination unit 118 receives the message by the user, if the name of the recipient or the recipient terminal number to receive the message is input, the name of the recipient or the recipient terminal in the customer information database 114 It is determined whether the authentication code mapped to the number exists.

The called number extracting unit 120 receives the corresponding authentication code added to the called terminal number from the customer information database 114 when a corresponding authentication code exists as a result of the determination by the authentication code presence determining unit 118. Extract the number.

That is, since the called party number mapped to the called terminal number and the authentication code is stored in the customer information database 114, the called number extracting unit 120 may extract the called number. At this time, the called number is a form in which the authentication code is added to a predetermined position before or after the called terminal number by a predetermined rule.

For example, if the called terminal number is "010-1234-5678" and the authentication code is "9", the called number may be "010-1234-5678-9".

The message sending unit 122 generates a message transmission request signal for requesting the transmission of the message to the called number extracted by the called number extracting unit 120 and transmits the message to the message service device through the communication interface 112. do. The message transmission request signal may include a called number, a message, a calling terminal number, and the like, and the called number may refer only to a called number or a called terminal number with an authentication code added to the called terminal number.

In the above, the case where the authentication information is stored in the customer information database 114 has been described, but the corporate customer message sending device 110 may generate an authentication code from the called party's personal information in real time.

To this end, the corporate customer message sending device 110 may further include an authentication code generator 124 and a called number generator 126.

The authentication code generator 124 extracts the personal information mapped to the called terminal number from the customer information database 114 when the authentication code is not present, the authentication code does not exist. And, using the extracted personal information to generate an authentication code. That is, the authentication code generation unit 124 generates the authentication code using the personal information that the calling terminal and the message service device have in common.

For example, a description will be given of how to make more than one digit of checksum digits using birthdays among personal information.

The corporate customer message sending device 110, which knows the recipient's birthday as the number "010-1234-5678" as of May 04, 1977, adds each digit of the birthday, and divides the remaining 3 divided by 10 into a checksum digit. Generate a verification code.

The called number generation unit 126 adds the generated authentication code to the called terminal number to generate a called number for transmitting the message. For example, the called number may be "010-1234-5678-3".

Then, the message sending unit 122 generates a message transmission request signal for requesting the transmission of the message to the called number generated by the called number generation unit 126 and the message service device through the communication interface 112. To send.

In addition, the called number generation unit 126, if the authentication code exists as a result of the determination of the authentication code determination unit 118, the authentication code mapped to the called terminal number from the customer information database 114; Extracting and adding the extracted authentication code to the called terminal number may generate a called number for transmitting the message.

Information storage unit 168, authentication code addition query unit 170, authentication code control unit 174, called number generation unit 176, message sending unit 178 is included.

The authentication code addition query unit 170, if the message and the destination terminal number is input through the input unit 172, and asks the user whether to add the authentication code and receives the response. That is, the user sees the authentication code addition query output through the output unit 166, and if the user wants to add the authentication code, the authentication code add response, and if not want to add the authentication code addition response.

When the authentication code addition request is received, the query unit 170 requests the message sending unit 170 to transmit the message to the called terminal number. Then, the message sending unit 170 transmits the message to the called terminal number.

When the authentication code addition response is received from the authentication code adder query unit 170, the authentication code control unit 174 searches for the storage unit 168 and the existence of the authentication code mapped to the called terminal number. It determines whether the authentication code exists, and extracts the authentication code mapped to the called terminal number from the storage unit 168.

In addition, when there is no corresponding authentication code in the storage unit 168, the authentication code control unit 174 extracts personal information mapped to the called terminal number from the storage unit 168, and extracts the extracted personal information. Generate the authentication code using the information.

The called number generation unit 176 generates a called number for transmitting the message by adding the authentication code extracted or generated by the authentication code control unit 174 to the called terminal number.

The message transmitter 178 transmits a message transmission request signal for requesting the transmission of the message to the called number generated by the called number generator 176 to the message service device through the communication interface 162.

The personal user terminal 160 configured as described above generates an authentication code using the personal information of the user input through the input unit 164, and registers the generated authentication code in the storage unit 168. The registration unit 180 may further include.

The customer information database 204 stores terminal numbers, personal information, authentication codes, and the like for each customer. Here, the personal information refers to a name, resident registration number, date of birth, address, etc., and the authentication code is for the called party authentication, which is generated using the personal information.

The authentication code registration unit 212, when the terminal number and personal information of the new subscriber is registered, generates an authentication code using the registered personal information, and maps the generated authentication code with the terminal number and personal information; Register with customer information database 204.

The signal analyzing unit 206 analyzes the message transmission request signal and authenticates the called number when the message transmission request signal including the message, the called number and the calling terminal number is received through the communication interface unit 202. Determine if code is included. The called number included in the message transmission request signal may be a called number or called terminal number with an authentication code added to the called terminal number.

When the verification code comparison unit 208 determines that the called number includes the authentication code, the authentication code comparison unit 208 searches the customer information database 204 to obtain an authentication code mapped to the called terminal number. Extract and compare the extracted authentication code with the authentication code included in the called number.

In addition, the authentication code comparison unit 208, if there is no authentication code mapped to the called terminal number in the customer information database 204, the personal information information mapped to the called terminal number is the customer information database 204 After extracting from, generating an authentication code using the extracted personal information, and compares the generated authentication code with the authentication code included in the called number.

The message sending control unit 210 transmits the message to the called terminal number from which the authentication code is removed from the called number when the authentication code of the authentication code comparison unit 208 matches.

In addition, if the authentication code does not match, the message transmission control unit 210 does not transmit the message.

That is, the message transmission control unit 210 transfers the message if the called party authentication code matches, and ignores the message otherwise. Since the default is that the message is not delivered if the number after the phone number is appended, whether the message is successful or failed is not transmitted to the calling terminal for privacy.

A detailed description of how the enterprise customer message sending device requests a message transmission to the message service device is described with reference to FIG. 6, and a detailed description of how the personal user terminal requests a message transmission to the message service device is described below. Reference is made to FIG. 7.

When the S504 is performed, the message service device analyzes the message transmission request signal (S506) and determines whether the called number includes an authentication code (S508).

If the result of the determination in S508 includes the authentication code, the message service device extracts the authentication code mapped to the called terminal number from the previously stored customer information database (S510).

At this time, the message service device determines whether the corresponding authentication code exists in the customer information database. If present, the message service device extracts the corresponding authentication code from the customer information database.

In order to determine the existence of an authentication code in the customer information database, when a terminal number and personal information of a newly registered customer are registered, an authentication code is generated using the personal information, and the generated authentication code is used for the corresponding terminal. The process of registering in the customer information database by mapping with the number should be preceded.

If the corresponding authentication code does not exist in the customer information database, the message service device extracts the personal information mapped to the called terminal number from the customer information database and generates an authentication code using the extracted personal information. can do.

After performing the S510, the message service apparatus compares the extracted authentication code with the authentication code included in the called number (S512), and determines whether the two authentication codes match (S514).

If the determination result of S514 matches, the message service device transmits the message to the called terminal number (S516).

If it is determined in S508 that the called number does not include an authentication code, the message service device transmits the message to the called terminal number (S518).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a message service providing method by an enterprise customer message sending device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when a corporate customer message sending device receives a message and a called terminal number from a user (S600), the apparatus searches for whether an authentication code mapped to the called terminal number exists in a previously stored customer information database (S602).

The corporate customer message sending device determines whether the corresponding authentication code exists using the search result (S604).

As a result of the determination in S604, when the corresponding authentication code exists, the enterprise customer message sending device searches the customer information database and extracts the called number to which the corresponding authentication code is added to the called terminal number (S606).

Then, the enterprise customer message sending device transmits a message transmission request signal to the message service device requesting the transmission of the message to the extracted called number (S608).

If, as a result of the determination in step S604, the authentication code does not exist, the enterprise customer message sending device extracts the personal information mapped to the called terminal number from the customer information database, and uses the extracted personal information to verify the authentication code. To generate (S610).
