Automatic guidance system of changed phone number using character message}

The present invention relates to an automatic telephone number change guide system using a text message, and more particularly, to an automatic telephone number change guide system using a text message with less resources and low maintenance costs.

Wired or wireless telephone service providers are notifying you when your phone number changes. Normally, the service is provided free of charge until one month after the change, but a monthly service fee is charged for more than that. In this way, the service is provided free of charge for up to one month, but the service period is limited to 1-2 years for more than one month. The conventional automatic response system (ARS) automatically responds to one line. This is because it occupies one port for each line to service the network, and because of the large number of subscribers, it occupies a large number of ports to service such a number of people who have changed their phone number.

Therefore, the conventional answering machine is a waste of resources can not provide a free service for a long time, it is also a burden for customers who have to pay indefinitely a change guide service fee for the old telephone number that might be coming. However, the neglect of important business calls that can be made in a few years is a problem that business people cannot easily give up.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the automatic telephone number change guide system according to the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing an example of an automatic phone number change guide system using a text message according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the telephone number change automatic guide system 10 using a text message according to the present invention, the change number registration unit 102, telephone number storage unit 104, search unit 106, message dispatch number processing unit 108, a voice guide 110, a text message constructing unit 112, a text message sending unit 114, and a communication I / F unit 116. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating main steps of a method for automatically changing a phone number using a text message performed in the system of FIG. 1.

1 and 2 will be described the operation of the automatic telephone number change guide system 10 using a text message according to the present invention. First, the change number registration unit 102 registers (step 202) a telephone number to receive a telephone number change service with reference to the user's permission information. The telephone number storage unit 104 stores the telephone number after the change corresponding to the telephone number before the change (step 204).

Next, assume that the caller dials the telephone number before the change through the mobile terminal 14. The communication unit 116 identifies whether the telephone number is normally connected to the called telephone number (step 206), and if it is not normally connected, the telephone number after the change using the information on the telephone number stored among the telephone numbers stored in the storage unit. Search (step 208). If normal connection is established, the process ends (step 210).

Next, when the search is unsuccessful in the search unit 106 by determining that the search is successful (step 212), the voice guide unit 110 displays a message indicating that the phone number has been changed and the text message is sent according to the successful and failed search. Voice prompts you for a phone number with or without a redial. For example, if the voice guidance (step 214) is successful and the search is successful, such as "The phone number you are calling is not a valid phone number. Please check again and call." Press the # button to receive the number as a text message. ”(Step 216).

Next, the message dispatch number processing unit 108 extracts the caller's telephone number information (step 218) when the telephone number is retrieved after the change. However, if the user selects the prohibition of displaying his / her number, the caller's telephone number information cannot be extracted. Also, if the caller is using a regular landline telephone, they will not be able to send a text message.

To solve this problem, the communication I / F unit 116 identifies whether an incoming call is a call from a user who selects the self-number display prohibition option or a call from a user who uses a general landline telephone. In the case of a call from a user who selects a call, or a call from a user who uses a general landline telephone, the voice guide control signal is output and the voice guide unit 110 selects the self number display prohibition option in response to the voice guide control signal. In the case of a call from a user or a user who uses a landline phone, enter the phone number to receive a text message and enter a # character to enter a phone number to be informed of the phone number after the change. Voice guidance (step 220) to enter a phone number to receive a message, and through the communication I / F unit 116 W ship accept the phone number information.

Next, the text message constructing unit 112 constructs a sending message including the telephone number before and after the change (step 222). For example, "011-123-4567 telephone number has been changed to 010-6123-4567 telephone number", such as a message including a telephone number before and after the change is configured. In this case, the telephone number of the previous telephone call and the telephone number before and after the change of the latter telephone are used as the main data, and the remaining portion is the basic message. More preferably, the text message construction unit 112 configures the retrieved telephone number and the text message receiving target as the recipient telephone number of the sender, and constitutes the text message.

In addition, the text message configuration unit 114 may be configured differently for each individual message. For example, if I set a personal message like "I lost my mobile phone ~~ So, I have to change my phone number. Please save this number and forget me." By providing a personalized message, you will be able to forget some of the inconvenience of changing your phone number.

Here, the phone number storage unit 104 stores a personal message, the personal message service may be able to select the option at a separate cost. When the user selects the option for the personal message, the personal message is configured to set the personal message in the telephone number storage unit in the service provider server through the Internet. Specifically, since the process of setting a personal message through the Internet can be configured to access and edit a web server by various programming languages, description thereof will be omitted so as not to obscure the core of the present specification.

Next, the text message sending unit 114 sends a text message to the person to be sent (step 224). At this time, it is more preferable that the text message construction unit 112 sets the retrieved change telephone number as a telephone number to which a reply is to be returned, that is, a telephone number to which a message is sent. When the user receives the message configured as described above, the user simply presses the "call" button and immediately changes the call to the phone number, which is very convenient to connect. In addition, the voice guidance unit 110 is preferable to give a guide such as "message has been sent" immediately after sending the message.

The communication I / F unit 120 is responsible for transmitting the voice signal output from the voice guide unit 110 to the user and transmitting the text message output from the text message sending unit 114 to the user. .

Figure 3 shows an example of a text message sent by the telephone number change system using a text message according to the present invention displayed on the user's mobile terminal. Referring to Fig. 3, the telephone number 302 before and after the change is transmitted as a text message, such as " 011-123-4567 has been changed to 010-6123-4567. &Quot;

In addition, when the reply telephone number is the telephone number after the change (304), when the user receives the message configured as described above, it is very convenient to connect to the telephone number after the change by simply pressing the "call" button.

In addition, individual messages may be configured differently. For example, "I lost my cell phone because I ate a lot of alcohol and was crazy. So, I have to change my phone number. Please save this number."

According to the automatic telephone number change guide system using the above-mentioned text message, the automatic answering service can be provided with a very small capacity of about twenty bytes per phone number. The cost is almost negligible.

Therefore, if the automatic phone number change guide system using the text message is applied to a mobile phone system whose phone number is frequently changed easily, it will be able to guarantee unlimited guide service for 20 years or more at the existing four-month guide fee. In particular, when a large number of mobile phone number changes are expected around 2006 due to a mobile number change policy. While a lot of equipment investment costs will be consumed, the application of the present invention requires very little system resources, so that a telephone number change guide service can be provided without any significant investment.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the answering service can be provided even with a very small capacity of about twenty bytes per one phone number, a lot of resources are not required, so the cost of maintenance is almost negligible.
