Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to (1) "i-mo
"de (registered trademark)", etc., using the e-mail function of a mobile phone as a receiving means, when an e-mail is transmitted from the general Internet, or (2) a home page whose contents are updated every moment, the contents of the home page The present invention relates to an information transmission notification system, method, and program for reliably reporting an e-mail transmission / homepage update (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "information transmission") to an information recipient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art E-mail for mobile phones such as "i-mode" has been widely spread. However, for Internet protocol services such as e-mail, the bandwidth is not guaranteed. Sending an email does not guarantee when the email will reach the recipient. Even if the e-mail has not been delivered until reception, it may not be notified to the recipient, of course, it is not notified to the recipient. In that sense, Internet e-mail is an unreliable service. In a service in which the latest information is notified every moment by e-mail, there is no guarantee that the information received by the e-mail received by the recipient is the latest.

[0003] A similar problem also occurs when the homepage is updated every moment. Current HTTP (Hyp
er Text Transfer Protocol
1) In the protocol, when a home page is referred to from a client machine, the connection between the server and the client machine is cut off thereafter. Even if the homepage is updated on the server side, the effect is not reflected on the client side. To obtain the latest information, the user needs to press the "update" button of the browser. In order to detect the update of the information on the homepage in real time, it is necessary to press the button continuously and many times, which is extremely complicated and impractical. As a means for solving this problem, there is a "push service" function for automatically performing "update" at a time scheduled in advance from the browser side. However, this push service is applicable only when the update time of the homepage is determined in advance.
It cannot be applied to the purpose of updating information in real time.

[0004] The above problem is a problem that also occurs between personal computers constantly connected to the LAN. However, the e-mail service for mobile phones, which is not always connected, further increases the weakness of non-guaranteed bandwidth. If the user of the mobile phone happens to be making a call or is out of reach of radio waves at the time of receiving the e-mail, Can't send e-mail from base station. In extreme cases, the user of the mobile phone cannot know the transmission of the e-mail unless an operation such as “inquiry” is performed.

[0005] Consider the above problem in a specific case. For example, a service in which an e-mail is sent to a guardian at the timing when a pick-up bus such as a nursery school approaches a meeting point to notify the approach of the bus is considered in this specification. It is assumed that the mother / child who is sending the e-mail is on the bus. From the pick-up bus, Hobo / Hoho writes an e-mail using a mobile phone. The email contains
It is assumed that the location name, time, and the like of the bus stop to which the bus approaches are included. Email is SMTP (Simple Mail)
According to the Transfer Protocol (Transfer Protocol), the data is transmitted to the Internet, and then transferred to the address of the parent of the infant. It is to be noted that the means for sending the e-mail is not the mother and the mother, but a means (program or system) for automatically sending the e-mail may be prepared, but the specific realization method is directly related to the gist of the present invention. Does not matter, so the details are omitted. However, in the following description, the arrival of information having this place and time may be referred to as an “event” and referred to in the description.

[0006] The parent receives the e-mail from the nursing mother / holy father using a mobile phone having an e-mail receiving function such as "i-mode". In this case, since the band is not guaranteed, there is no guarantee that the e-mail reaches the guardian waiting for the information in a short time. If the e-mail is delayed, the parent will not notice the e-mail delivery.
Buses carrying infants pass by designated places.

There are two reasons why the above mail does not arrive. In one case, the e-mail was sent by the nurse / father, but did not arrive at the parent's e-mail box due to the Internet connection. This occurs when the relaying server is down for some reason or when there is a failure in the DNS server, the SMTP server, or the like. In this case, it should be noted that the transmitted e-mail does not arrive at the receiving box in the first place. The Internet is a network operated by volunteers. This situation is inevitable.

[0008] The other is a case where an electronic mail is not delivered due to a situation where radio waves do not reach the guardian's mobile phone. In this case, even if it has arrived at the parent's inbox, the parent cannot know this. Of course, the arrival can be confirmed by reading the contents of the reception box from the mobile phone by the "inquiry" function after the radio wave condition is restored. However, when there is no connection, there is no way for parents to know when an email has arrived. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to execute “inquiry” from the mobile phone every time the radio wave condition is deteriorated or a call is made. However, it is cumbersome and impractical to execute the inquiry every time the radio wave condition deteriorates.

There are some prior applications as means for partially solving such a situation. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-3217
92 "E-mail arrival notification device", JP-A-10-313
338 "E-mail system with incoming call notification function"
When the e-mail arrives at the recipient's box, the user automatically sees the arrival of the e-mail and automatically calls the user's mobile phone. These conventional techniques are based on the same technical idea in that a user's mailbox is scanned, and when a new electronic mail arrives, a telephone call is made to the user.

The idea of "scanning the reception box" used in the prior application has a problem with a relay server or the like on the Internet, and even if an electronic mail is sent, it cannot be dealt with at all if the user has not reached the box. In other words, only one of the two main problems that the e-mail arrival is delayed has been solved. The only consideration is to notify the user of the arrival of the e-mail in the inbox. If the Internet itself is malfunctioning, it cannot be dealt with at all.

As another method that can be devised by those skilled in the art, there is a notification by a normal telephone with high instantaneous (that is, bandwidth guarantee) without using non-guaranteed e-mail.
It may be technically possible for the nurse / holy father to make a phone call, or to automatically report the passage position or the like through a telephone voice. However, the minimum telephone charge is about ten times as expensive as receiving an e-mail by i-mode. As soon as the guardian takes the handset, it costs 10 yen,
A charge of 30 yen will be charged to the nursing mother / father. This is not acceptable as a service provider.
Also, this cost ultimately falls on the beneficiary parents. For parents, phones are expensive and far from the benefits of cheap e-mail.

As can be seen from the above, electronic mail cannot guarantee when the electronic mail reaches the receiving side. On the other hand, a telephone with a high degree of immediacy is extremely expensive compared to an e-mail. 2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique, there is known a method of notifying an arrival of an electronic mail to a reception box by a telephone. This approach does not address the situation where e-mail is delayed before the inbox, so it cannot really replace the direct communication of information over the telephone.

[0013]

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention.

The information sending and notifying system 1 according to the present invention (claim 1) comprises: an e-mail transmitting means 10 for transmitting an e-mail to an e-mail address registered in advance;
A telephone call means for executing a telephone call for a telephone number registered in advance, an e-mail receiving means for receiving the e-mail, and a telephone means for receiving the telephone call; By executing the mail transmission and the telephone call in parallel within a predetermined time, it is determined that the electronic mail has been transmitted by the telephone means 13.
To inform.

The e-mail transmitting means 10 has, for example, an e-mail address stored in advance in association with each point where the nursery school bus has passed, and transmits an e-mail to this e-mail address.

The telephone calling means 11 has a function of automatically making a telephone call. The telephone number is, for example, a telephone number stored in advance in association with each point where the nursery school bus has passed. The content of the call has no particular relation to the gist of the present invention. For example, a fixed format telephone audio tape, such as "Bus is approaching," may be played, or if a speech rule synthesis device is available, the location and time of the passage of the bus may be read aloud. May be performed.

The electronic mail receiving means 12 may be any electronic mail receiving means on the ordinary Internet. For example, P in the dial-up PPP protocol
OP3 (Post Office Protocol)
Version 3) It may be a personal computer that can access the server, or a receiving unit that can access the POP3 server from a personal computer connected to the LAN.
Alternatively, a mobile phone that can receive an e-mail may be used.

The telephone means 13 may be a normal telephone or a portable telephone. This is a means by which a call can be made from outside using a certain call number (telephone number).

The outline of the operation of the information transmission and notification system 1 of the present invention (claim 1) in FIG. 1 is as follows.
Sending e-mail from outside, for some reason,
It is assumed that an instruction has been given to the electronic mail transmitting means 10. In the example of a nursery school bus, for example, a differential type G
The PS detects the position of the bus, and when the position reaches a predetermined range of latitude and longitude, transmission of this e-mail is instructed. However, what external factors instruct transmission of an e-mail is not directly related to the gist of the present invention. In this specification, it is assumed that an external electronic mail transmission is triggered to the electronic mail transmitting means 10 together with the information on the place and the information on the date and time when the place is recognized.

When an electronic mail transmission is triggered from outside, the electronic mail transmitting means 10 transmits the electronic mail. The e-mail includes, for example, the location of the nursery school bus, the date and time of passing, and the like, thereby transmitting detailed information to the recipient. In the information transmission and notification system 1 of the present invention, the telephone calling means 11 is activated at the same time. This may be configured so that, for example, in the procedure of configuring the e-mail transmission means 10 described above, a telephone call is subsequently made, or the e-mail transmission with location information is triggered at the same time, It may be considered that the message is transmitted in parallel to the telephone calling means 11.

The telephone calling means 11 also stores a telephone number in correspondence with the location information. Telephone calling means 11
Makes a telephone call to the recorded telephone number almost simultaneously with the transmission of the e-mail, or more precisely, within a certain predetermined time. This telephone call does not specifically convey information. Therefore, there is no need to send out any messages with this telephone call. However, in practice, information on the location of the bus or the time at which the bus passed the designated location may be put on this telephone as a voice by a voice rule synthesis system. What to do with the contents of the telephone is not directly related to the gist of the present invention, and it suffices that it be specified by a person skilled in the art.

In FIG. 1, the electronic mail receiving means 12
Then, the telephone means 13 receives the e-mail and the telephone call almost simultaneously. However, since the telephone call is guaranteed for the band, it operates simultaneously with the telephone calling side. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that e-mail arrives immediately. Therefore, the recipient (in the case of the nursery school bus, the guardian of the infant) can recognize that the e-mail has been transmitted by calling the telephone. If the e-mail has arrived in the inbox but has not yet been read out by the e-mail receiving means, the receiver checks the inbox of his or her e-mail, triggered by this telephone call. As a result, for some reason, the e-mail which is present in the reception box but has not reached the e-mail receiving means 12 is read and detailed information which cannot be obtained by telephone (in the case of a nursery school bus,
Where the bus passed, time, etc.).

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the information transmission and notification system (claim 2) of the present invention. The information sending notification system 2 includes: an e-mail transmitting unit 20 that transmits an e-mail to a pre-registered e-mail address;
A telephone call means for executing a telephone call for a telephone number registered in advance, an e-mail receiving means for receiving the e-mail, and a telephone means for receiving the telephone call; Means and the telephone means are realized as the same mobile telephone means 22, and the e-mail transmission and the telephone call are performed in parallel within a certain time, so that the e-mail is transmitted. The transmission is notified to the portable telephone means 22.

The electronic mail transmitting means 20 of the structural means shown in FIG. 2 has the same configuration as the electronic mail transmitting means 10 shown in FIG. Further, the telephone calling means 21 of FIG. 2 may have the same configuration as the telephone calling means 11 of FIG. The mobile phone means 22 in FIG. 2 includes a telephone receiving function such as “i-mode”,
It has an e-mail receiving function. That is, the mobile phone means 22 is different from the electronic mail receiving means 12 of FIG.
Also serves as telephone means 13.

The operation of the information transmission and notification system 2 of FIG.
Basically, the operation is the same as that of the information transmission and notification system of FIG. In response to an external trigger, the electronic mail transmitting means 20 and the telephone calling means 21 perform electronic mail transmission and telephone calling, respectively. However, as a feature of this embodiment, the e-mail address is an address corresponding to the portable telephone means 22 for receiving a telephone call. This allows
The user of the mobile phone means 22 knows that the e-mail has been sent by calling the telephone. Therefore, if the Internet line is normal, e-mail will arrive sooner or later, and if not, it will recognize that e-mail has not arrived, so it is possible to take some measures. It is.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an information transmission and notification system according to the present invention (claim 3). The information sending / notifying system 3 of the present invention includes an e-mail transmitting means 30 for transmitting an e-mail to an e-mail address registered in advance, and a telephone call to a mobile phone capable of receiving an e-mail to the e-mail address. A telephone calling means 31 for executing a notification of a calling number, and a portable telephone means having a function of receiving the e-mail and the telephone call and switching a ring tone or a ringing melody according to the calling number. 33, the e-mail transmission and the telephone call are executed in parallel within a predetermined period of time, so that the transmission of the e-mail is indicated by a dedicated ring tone or ring melody. Notify 33.

The electronic mail transmitting means 30 of the components constituting the information sending / reporting system 3 of FIG. 3 may have the same configuration as the electronic mail transmitting means 10 of FIG. Telephone calling means 31
Is different from the telephone calling means 11 of FIG. That is,
The telephone calling means 31 is different from that of the present invention in that it not only makes a telephone call but also transmits the telephone number (32) of the telephone caller. In the example of the nursery bus approach notification service, this number is, for example, the number of a company that has contracted this service, and in the case of the above-mentioned nursery bus example,
It is different from the number of the person whom the guardian of the infant usually calls.

The portable telephone means 33 has a function of switching a ring tone or a ring tone depending on the calling number.
Therefore, the recipient (in the above-mentioned nursery school bus approach notification service, the guardian of an infant) receives the calling number (32 in FIG. 3) transmitted by the telephone calling means of the present invention, which is a special number. In such a case, a special ringtone or ringtone that the recipient can recognize can be set. As a result, it is possible to recognize from where the call originated from the telephone calling means 31 of the present invention. This allows the guardian to recognize that the bus is approaching without picking up the handset and causing expensive telephone charges.

The overall operation of the information transmission and notification system 3 of FIG. 3 is the same as that of the information transmission and notification system 1 of FIG.
The e-mail transmitting means 30 and the telephone calling means 31 operate in parallel within a predetermined time, send an e-mail having detailed information, and send the e-mail to a telephone number registered in advance. Notify. However, at this time, the calling number 32 of the calling party is simultaneously transmitted. As a result, the mobile phone means 33 emits a predetermined ringtone / melody, so that the receiver can recognize that the e-mail is being sent. If you do not receive the e-mail, please use the "Contact" function,
You can search your inbox. If it does not exist in the receiving box, it means that some trouble has occurred and it can be dealt with. If the telephone does not ring, the recipient has no way of knowing the e-mail is sent, and cannot cope with the trouble.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an information transmission and notification system according to the present invention (claim 4). The information sending and notifying system 4 sends an e-mail transmitting unit 40 for transmitting an e-mail to a pre-registered e-mail address, and a telephone call to a mobile phone capable of receiving a received e-mail to the e-mail address. A telephone calling means 41 for executing in the form of notifying a number, and a mobile telephone means 43 having a function of receiving the e-mail and the telephone call and switching a ring tone or a ringing melody according to the calling number. And the mobile phone means 43 comprises:
With respect to an incoming call from a specific calling number registered in advance, it is possible to set so that the operation of raising the handset of a general telephone cannot be executed, and the e-mail transmission and the telephone call can be performed within a predetermined time. , The transmission of the e-mail is indicated by a dedicated ringtone or ringtone.
To inform.

The electronic mail transmitting means 40 of FIG. 4 may have the same configuration as the electronic mail transmitting means 30 of FIG. Further, the telephone calling means 41 may have the same configuration as the telephone calling means 31 of FIG. The mobile phone means 43 is different from the mobile phone means 33 in FIG. 3 and sounds a ringing tone when a call is made from a previously designated calling number, but cannot perform an operation of picking up the receiver of a general telephone. The feature is that it is configured. Basically, for the function that does not allow the receiver to be picked up, the button for executing the operation of picking up the receiver may be disabled so that it cannot be used. For this purpose, means for detecting a predetermined calling number and when the specified calling number is detected,
The signal from the button that picks up the handset is configured not to be activated.

When it is detected that the number matches a special calling number set in advance, the operation is different from that of a normal mobile phone. That is, in this case, a ring tone, that is, a ring tone or a ring tone is sounded. If it is a general call rejection function, the circuit for sounding the ring tone / melody is stopped. However, in this case, instead of the ring tone / ring melody circuit, the circuit that executes the operation of picking up the receiver is omitted.

The recipient should ring a special ringtone and ringtone for this special number.
As a result, it is possible to recognize that the call is from the information sending / reporting system of the present invention without picking up the receiver.

The operation of the information transmission and notification system 4 is the same as that of the information transmission and notification system 3 of FIG. An e-mail transmitting means 40 and a telephone calling means 41 are triggered by an external trigger.
Are invoked in parallel. However, the telephone calling means 41
Transmits the calling number 42 at the same time as the telephone call. The portable telephone means 43 cannot execute the operation of picking up the telephone, although the ring tone / melody is provided in advance for the calling telephone number from the information sending / reporting system of the present invention. This can reduce the risk that the receiver mistakenly picks up the receiver and gets charged.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an information transmission and notification method according to the present invention (claim 5). The information sending method 5 of the present invention comprises an e-mail sending step 50 for sending an e-mail to a pre-registered e-mail address, and a telephone calling step 51 for executing a telephone call for a pre-registered telephone. The e-mail transmission step 50 and the telephone call step 51 are executed in parallel within a predetermined time, thereby notifying the telephone that the e-mail has been transmitted.

Generally, in a telephone, the telephone number of the calling party is transmitted before picking up the handset, unless the other party's telephone sets the calling number notification to “not notified”. Thus, for example, a function of rejecting a call from a specific number is provided in a mobile phone.
Therefore, comparing the special calling number stored in the memory with the notified number can be realized as a normal function.

FIG. 13 shows an electronic mail transmitting means (or an electronic mail transmitting step, an electronic mail transmitting process) used in the present invention (10 in FIG. 1, 20 in FIG. 2, 30 in FIG. 3, 40 in FIG. 4). 5, 50 in FIG. 5, 60 in FIG. 6, FIG.
70, and 80) in FIG. 8.

In FIG. 13, reference numeral 1300 denotes a correspondence list between an e-mail address to which an e-mail is to be transmitted and place information (in the case of a nursery school bus, a place to pass). Such a list is called an associative list in a computer, and can be stored in a memory in various forms such as a pointer link.

When the processing is started (1301), first,
It is checked whether an external trigger event has arrived (1302). If the event has not arrived, the event arrival monitoring loop is repeated at a constant cycle. If the event has arrived, the process proceeds to the next processing (1303).

The event information may be in various formats. For example, it is assumed that the event information is location information and the time at which the bus passes the location, and has the following data format.
The part between "<" and ">" is called "tag"
Although the format conforms to SGML, which is an international standard, this is for the purpose of explanation in this specification and does not limit the gist of the invention. <FOO> means the start of the data, and </ FOO> means the end of the data. Specifically, <DATA> is the location <LOC
ATION> and <TIME> which is a time.

<DATA><LOCATION> Sanjo Kawaramachi </ LOCATION
><TIME> 2000: 05: 23: 08: 30: 20
</ TIME></DATA>

From the above SGML structure, “LOC
"ATION" information, "Kawaramachi Sanjo" and "TIM
"2000: 05: 23: 08: 30:"
It is easy for a computer to retrieve "20" (which means 8:30:20 on May 23, 2000). It is assumed that each is recorded in the memory area by a method well-known to those skilled in the art, such as associating each with a certain variable name. This is the process of step 1303.

Next, based on the location information “Kawaramachi Sanjo” extracted in the above processing, a correspondence list between the e-mail address and the location information is searched. In such an associative list structure, inspection is easy. As a result, in the example of FIG. 13, address1 @ server. co. jp is obtained. This is the address of the recipient who should receive the e-mail when the bus passes "Kawaramachi Sanjo". Of course, this may be a mailing list address, or a plurality of e-mail addresses may be registered in the associative list. In 1304 of FIG. 13, this address is assumed to be a mailing list (ML) address.

Next, the mail is actually transmitted. this is,
When the computer realizes the processing in FIG.
If the computer realizes the SMTP protocol which is a transmission protocol of the electronic mail, the electronic mail can be easily transmitted even by the command (1305).
That is, a series of processing is described in a script language such as JPERL, and the processing in FIG. 13 can be realized. At this time, incorporating the location information and the time information as the text of the e-mail simply requires a command (m
It can be realized only by giving a character string including these as an argument of the “ai command”. As a result, the recipient of the e-mail can obtain information on the location and time. After sending the e-mail, the process returns to the event check routine again to check whether the next event has arrived.

FIG. 14 shows one environment in which the above-described electronic mail transmission can be realized. IBM's personal computer hardware standard (IBM-PC / AT) compatible machine 1
On the OS (here, Windows NT)
server 1403 is mounted. To update with the Internet, the TCP / IP protocol (14
02) must be implemented, and send and receive e-mails are sentm that implements the SMTP protocol.
aile (1400) may be implemented. There are various mailing list tools that operate mailing lists. A typical one is majordomo (1401).
It is. These softwares are not special and are installed on many servers.

FIG. 15 shows a telephone calling means (or a telephone calling step, a telephone calling process) (11 in FIG. 1, 21 in FIG. 2, 51 in FIG. 5, 61 in FIG. 6, and 91 in FIG. 9). It is a figure for more detailed explanation.

In the configuration example of FIG. 15, it is assumed that location information arrives from outside. The location information is correspondingly associated with a list 1500 of telephone numbers to be called. This list has an associative list structure, and may be stored in the memory.

When the process is started (1501), it is checked whether or not an event has arrived. Then, when the event arrives, it is assumed that the location information is extracted therefrom. These processes are the same as those of the above-described electronic mail transmitting means.

Next, the above list of telephone numbers is examined, and telephone numbers corresponding to the locations are taken out (150).
4). In the example of FIG. 15, there is at most one telephone number,
A list of telephone numbers may be retrieved.

Next, telephone call processing is performed for the telephone number. It is efficient to use the CTI function from a computer. In CTI, a board with a PBX function inserted into a computer is, so to speak,
Plays the role of a PBX and implements outgoing telephone calls and the like. However, this telephone call is not intended to convey any concrete call content. Specific information (location, time, etc.) should be confirmed by e-mail or website. Therefore, it is necessary to hang up the telephone as soon as the other party comes out, or to automatically terminate the call after calling for a certain period of time (1506). After this processing is completed, the process returns to the loop for waiting for an event.

FIG. 16 shows a hardware configuration for realizing the above-mentioned CTI function. IBM-PC / A
A board 1601 having a PBX function is mounted on the T compatible hardware 1603, and a device driver 1602 for driving the board is installed. Thus, the application program can make full use of the telephone function according to the predetermined interface specification. A specific example of such an application program interface is TAPI (1605). This makes it possible to implement the above-described operation of making a telephone call or stopping a telephone call after calling for a predetermined time.

Note that another telephone calling means (or, alternatively,
Telephone calling step, telephone calling process) (31 in FIG. 3,
4, 41 in FIG. 7, 71 in FIG. 8, 10 in FIG.
2, 112 in FIG. 11 and 122) in FIG. 12 are almost the same as the telephone calling means in FIGS. 15 and 16 except that the calling number of the telephone caller is described and the telephone call is made. It can be realized by the configuration of The issuing number may be transmitted by the TAPI interface, or the telephone number may be notified of the number when contracting with NTT.

FIG. 17 shows a homepage updating means (or a homepage updating step, a homepage updating process) (90 in FIG. 9, 102 in FIG. 10, 11 in FIG. 11).
This is a more detailed implementation example of 1, 1, 121) in FIG.

When the process is started (1701), an event loop is formed (1702) in the same manner as the above-described electronic mail transmitting means and telephone calling means, and information such as a location is extracted from the event (1703). ). The extracted location, time, and the like are converted into a data format that can be posted on a homepage as an HTML file format. For example, the data format after conversion is as follows. The following data is in HTML format, but the grammar of HTML is not described. The following HTML file is JPE
It can be easily generated in a script language such as RL, and only the place and time part need be replaced with the place and time included in the event extracted in advance.

<HTML> <HEAD> </ HEAD> <BODY> Location: Sanjo, Kawaramachi <BR> Time: May 23, 2000 <BR> 08:30:20 <BR> </ BODY> </ HTML >

Finally, the above HTML file is copied to a directory previously defined as a public folder (1705). This can be easily written, even if it is a remote computer, if you have an FTP account.
