Description

  The present invention relates to a method for searching for a specific e-mail address by using a number sequence composed of a combination of several number numbers constituting a specific phone number in order, and particularly using a number sequence of phone numbers convenient for storage, It relates to a method that can quickly find a recipient's specific email address.

  Electronic mail (E-mail) is a tool for sending and receiving messages via a computer and is currently the most commonly used tool on the Internet. The sender can write the e-mail, use the Internet or the World Wide Web as a transmission medium, and send the e-mail to one or more people on the Internet. The person need not be on the Internet or the World Wide Web. Because the e-mail is placed in one or more mail servers on the Internet or the World Wide Web, the recipient can access the Internet the next time to open the e-mail mailbox and retrieve the e-mail. This is because the message can be obtained by taking it out.

  Current electronic mail is roughly classified into two types: POP (Post Office Protocol) and Web-Based. As shown in FIG. 1, POP type e-mails upload and download e-mails by a remote login method, which requires e-mail software for creating, sending and receiving e-mails. After the sender S creates an e-mail using the e-mail software of the computer, the e-mail is first uploaded to the mail server 1 of the sender's SMPT (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) via the Internet I, and then sent via the Internet I. Then, it is transmitted to the POP mail server 2 of the recipient R, and after the recipient R connects to the Internet I, the e-mail is connected to the POP mail server 2 using e-mail software, and the e-mail is taken into his computer. Complete the email transmission. As shown in FIG. 2, Web-based type e-mail is placed on a website (Web site) or a related computer, and the user directly sends and receives e-mail on the website using a browser (Browser). To do. The sender S or the recipient R uses an arbitrary computer (PC) that can be connected to the Internet to access the Web-Based mail server 3 via the World Wide Web and use a browser. You can then read and send emails on the homepage.

  The number of websites around the world is at least 2000 km (including websites of individuals and various corporate organizations), and is constantly increasing. In addition to providing one or a plurality of e-mail addresses, each website provides an Internet service provider (ISP: Internet) in addition to providing a service for communication between Internet users or between a user and a website. Service Providers) and websites also provide the ability to send and receive e-mail. Each person has one or more e-mail addresses and subscribes to various e-mail magazines and uses them for public and private exchanges. As the number and the number of times of using e-mails increase, the most difficult point when sending e-mails using POP or Web-Based has been to store e-mail addresses with very long code strings. The code name (name) of the e-mail address is devised according to the standard created by the ISP or the website company itself, so there is no regular rule arrangement, and the e-mail address can be easily stored with a small number. There are not many in the first place. In addition, the adoption of an e-mail address that can send an e-mail after inputting an e-mail address that can be easily and quickly stored, or can guess the name of the company by guessing, is one method for successfully obtaining the e-mail address. One. However, if you don't save e-mail addresses that are difficult to memorize in your personal notepad or store them in a dedicated data file on your computer (PC), you can't forget them. I could not do it. However, in the following situations, the necessary specific e-mail address could not be obtained quickly.

  1. When you are abroad, such as when traveling abroad, the computer (PC) used for the Internet is not always used at your home, so you cannot find a specific e-mail address from the data stored on the PC. If you didn't always have a personal notepad with your email address, you had to ask someone in your country for help and ask others for their specific email address. When other people let you know through the telephone handset, it often happened that the e-mail address was misrepresented due to an error in listening. For example, for non-English countries, the sounds “E” and “1” are similar, and even in English-based countries, when informing each letter, a word that begins with that letter, For example, by confirming the characters with the help of "A like" A "pple", "B like" B "oy", etc., it is ensured that the characters to be transmitted are accurately transmitted from the informing person to the informed person. And such difficulties are constantly occurring around the world.

  2. In an era when electronic business is thriving, it has become widespread to use electronic mail (including prime contractors, subcontractors, or business companies that you want to visit) as tools for transmitting documents or official texts. However, it is common to remember only the client's company name, not the company's email address. Most people are relatively easy to remember the name of the company, but it is relatively difficult to remember the company's e-mail address, which is a long series of letter symbols. Similarly, it is easy to remember one person's name, but it is difficult to remember an individual's email address.

  The object of the present invention is to input a plurality of sets of telephone numbers to a database in a specific website in the present invention when an individual or a company has one or more sets of telephone numbers, or any Internet on the Internet. By connecting to a database in the server, you can search for specific email addresses of individuals or companies at the same time using these multiple sets of phone numbers, and the sender can select the most memorable phone number from the multiple sets of phone numbers. Several specifics that make it very easy to send an email to an individual or company POP mail server simply by typing in the blank or email software in the search dynamic website installed in the particular website It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for searching for a specific e-mail address by a numerical string composed by combining telephone numbers in order.

  Another object of the present invention is that a telephone number of an individual or company is allocated and obtained by a telegraph telephone company, so that the country code and area number at the head of the telephone number have the only exclusive attribute in the world. It is impossible for another person to obtain duplicates again, and there is no disadvantage that the same e-mail address in the same mail server is taken and registered by another person. Provided is a method for searching for a specific e-mail address by a numerical string to be synthesized.

  Still another object of the present invention is to enable searching for a specific e-mail address by entering a telephone number that is easy to remember and can be found anywhere instead of a specific e-mail address that is generally difficult to remember, Combining several specific phone numbers in order, facilitating the acquisition of specific email addresses for users as senders, increasing the use of individual and company email addresses, and helping the rapid development of electronic business It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for searching for a specific e-mail address by a numeric string.

  A further object of the present invention is to operate an existing telephone number retrieval system so that Internet users do not have to spend time learning a very long specific email address, and directly at any time and anywhere. Directly use a computerized phone number search website that has a function to look up phone numbers in the book, phone number search service or the Internet, and you can immediately know a specific email address just by knowing the phone number , Specific e-mail with a string of numbers composed of a combination of several specific phone numbers in order, without the need for someone else to check on the phone, and without misunderstanding by voice generated through the telephone handset It is to provide a method for retrieving an address.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for searching for a specific e-mail address by means of several numeric strings constituting a specific telephone number. Combines a string of numbers according to a specific arrangement pattern of "country code-area code-local phone code" from three numbers of telephones such as a local phone number dedicated to an individual or company, a country code to which the country belongs and an area code to which the area belongs. At the same time, according to a specific e-mail address to which an individual or a company belongs, a numeric string of telephone numbers and a specific e-mail address are simultaneously registered and stored in a database in a specific mail server or a server of an arbitrary website on the Internet. When a sender sends an e-mail, a blank field provided in the e-mail software or on a search dynamic website provided in a specific website is displayed in turn in the “country code- If you enter a numeric string of "Area Number-Local Phone Number", you can enter a mail server or website server database by a search program in e-mail or a search program in a specific website server, or any website on the Internet SMPT mail server that is connected to the database of the web site server, compares the specific e-mail address corresponding to the numeric character string, and immediately belongs to the specific e-mail address corresponding to the telephone number numeric character string via the Internet Sent by the sender using the SMPT mail server. Mail automatically transmitted via the Internet of the recipient to the POP mail server. The recipient accesses the POP mail server via the Internet, acquires the contents of the electronic mail transmitted by the sender, and browses it.

  The present invention replaces the phone number familiar to the general public and easily memorized with a long and difficult-to-remember email address, and makes an excellent choice other than the currently used email address. In addition to providing each country's country code and area code, it has the only exclusive attribute in the world, so it cannot be duplicated by others, and even similar emails in the same mail server There is no worry that the address is registered by someone else.
