Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic mail transmission method, and more particularly, to an electronic mail transmission method for certifying the contents of a transmitted message and confirming that the message has reached a recipient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Electronic mail is a postal system for exchanging messages over a computer network.
Not only characters, but also various digital data such as programs and images can be exchanged electronically.
In Japan, more than half of Japanese business people use e-mail.

[0003] E-mail has a function of opening confirmation, that is, confirming whether or not the transmitted e-mail has reached its destination. These include the ability to reply to the sender when he arrives at the recipient's post office, the ability to automatically reply when the recipient opens the email, and the ability for the recipient to reply to the email. FIG. 1 schematically shows that an e-mail is transmitted from the sender A to the receiver B2, and that the receiver B2 sends an opening confirmation to the sender A1.

[0004]

As described above, it is possible to confirm whether or not the e-mail sent by the receipt confirmation function has arrived at the destination. Some people don't know if they've read your message.

[0005] When an e-mail is sent with an old date without confirming the date setting of the personal computer, the e-mail is usually displayed at the date and time when the e-mail is received. As a result, you may have problems sending the message but not knowing it.

[0006] In the event that a trouble occurs between the Company and the Company at a later date in connection with the content of the message sent from the Company to the Company by e-mail, the Company will send the message to the Company even though the Company has sent the message to the Company. It has been claimed that he did not receive or read it, while the sender had already deleted the sent mail from his hard disk because much time had passed since sending the e-mail in question, In addition, there is no evidence that a confirmation of opening has been obtained at the time of transmission, and it is possible that a rebuttal may occur.

[0007] There is also a content certification mail system based on Article 63 of the Postal Code. In this system, three mails with the same sentence are created, one is saved by the post office, one is saved by the post office, and the other is left in the hands of the sender. Also, simply sending a postal matter does not certify "when it arrived at the other party", so it is customary to use a "delivery proof" system to make up for this.

[0008] However, in this system, it is especially important that the contents of the notice be disputed in the future, that the notice of the transfer of receivables or the like must be given by a certificate with a fixed date, or that the notice of the notice of cooling off or the like is given. It is used in cases where there is a sense of meaning, or in cases where there is an incidental effect, such as when using psychological pressure to claim various types of damages, using the side effect of looking at the other party, etc. However, the present invention is not applied to simply confirming whether or not the delivery of the mail is properly performed with respect to the normal mail which does not have the above-mentioned case at least at the time of transmission.

An object of the present invention is to supplement the point that it is difficult to know whether or not a recipient of an e-mail, which is a convenient means of communication, has read a sent e-mail. It is an object of the present invention to provide an e-mail transmission method that enables confirmation of arrival to a recipient.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned object, and is an electronic mail transmission method for transmitting a message from a sender to a receiver by electronic mail. Also set a third party with no interest as an intermediary, the sender sends a message to be sent to the recipient by e-mail to the intermediary, and the intermediary sends the e-mail sent from the sender Is stored for a certain period of time, and the e-mail is sent to the recipient by e-mail with an intermediary invoice, and it is confirmed that the e-mail has been received by the recipient. It is characterized in that it is stored together with.

In the present invention, the e-mail is sent with the invoice of the third party, and the reception is confirmed by the third party,
The recipient reliably reads the contents of the message upon receiving the mail, so that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble relating to the delivery of the e-mail at a later date.
It also eliminates the possibility of overlooking because many emails were received at once.

In the present invention, a lawyer or a judicial scrivener who has undergone legal proceedings as an intermediary is desirable. In the event that a problem occurs between the Party A and Party B in connection with the content of the message sent from Party A to Party B, the intermediary will receive a copy of the email from Party A to Party B, which has been saved on the hard disk, etc. The result of confirming that it was received by the party B will be adjusted to the evidence material and submitted to the court, etc., and the submitted material will be used for troubleshooting.

In such a case, as a result of considering the contents of the trouble with reference to the contents of the e-mail saved by Hei, depending on the contents of the trouble, not only can the trouble be solved in an advantageous manner to Party A, but also in some cases an advantage to the Company B In some cases, the trouble can be solved.

The present invention is effective for notifying the contents of a mail such as a report of an interview for a company employment examination or a report of passing a college entrance examination that the recipient does not know by e-mail.
