Abstract

The present invention classifies unstructured data of an email document, which is a representative communication means of the shipping industry, into a work-related mail primarily by using a document classifier, and classifies the classified work mail into a client-structured database secondly by using an intelligent information agent. The present invention relates to a device for sending mail in a specific form (mCard) [FIG. 5] in XML or ebXML format.

The present invention operates in a proprietary webmail server or works in conjunction with a Microsoft mail client program [Fig. 2] called MS Outlook. Upon arrival of the e-mail, the Intelligent Documents Clustering Agent (FIG. 4) attached to the client program first classifies the message for decommissioning, and automatically recognizes the key word included in the message content in the system. The client-side program converts the unstructured e-mail message into a standardized database to create a mCard [Fig. 5], which is a decommissioning e-mail form, and sends a fixed e-mail in the form of mCard through its own e-mail server or a third-party e-mail server. It also features a message standard that can be sent directly to e-Market Place [FIG. 6] and other electronic bulletin boards for automatic or species posting.

Description

Auto classifying method of irregular maritime email message to regular database}

In general, e-mail is a form of sending and receiving messages online using a computer or other communication device (mobile phone, PDA, IMT-2000), mainly SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or POP3 (Post Office Protocol v3). By using the protocol, the client can send and receive e-mails through an e-mail-only browser such as MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook, etc., and access from a web server equipped with a mail server. There is a webmail method that can send an e-mail if required.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a standardized message sent and received between a server and a client to send email over the Internet, and Post Office Protocol v3 (POP3) is the latest protocol for receiving e-mail. POP3 is a client / server protocol used by Internet servers to receive and archive e-mail for clients. It is also an alternative to POP3, the Internet Messaging Access Protocol (IMAP). One of the standard Internet protocols for reading mail on a server is more flexible and superior to POP3.

Recently, an environment in which mailing services are provided by various content providers (CPs) using the above-described email service has become common on the client side, and webmail hosting companies that provide them are also innumerable. There are many spam mails, including dozens or even hundreds of jobs a day, which is very difficult to clean up the received emails from the client's point of view.

In addition, even if 90% or more of the clients in the shipping industry rely on communication, the message classification is the most essential factor due to the task of checking mail. However, the filtering is simple in a mail-only browser such as an existing web service provider web server and MS Outlook. Only random classification techniques in terms of form and formality are currently available.

In addition, more than 80-90% of the mail contents related to the shipping business can be formalized, but it is difficult to reuse, data min, or analyze the data because there is no suitable standard.

The present invention is a system for automatic database construction that can automatically classify e-mails, which are currently used as a leading communication means in a specific industry, such as the shipping industry, as work mails, and reprocess the classified data in a client.

Due to the nature of the shipping business that has been doing business with the whole world for a very long time, various communication means have been used, and the system for standardizing and automatically constructing the message information into the structured data on the client side is an essential element, but such a system has not yet appeared. .

In the information age, e-mail has led online communication, and the use of e-mail has grown exponentially worldwide. However, the most precise management is emerging as an important key element. The present invention enables the automatic classification of work-related messages sent and received through a specific industrial field, that is, a dedicated mail service related to shipping business, the formation of a DB for each client, reprocessing, and analysis. As a result, the present invention aims to formally standardize and standardize international communication in the shipping industry by unstructured e-mail messages of the global shipping industry.

In addition, an object of the present invention is an Intelligent Documents Clustering Agent (FIG. 3) mounted in a client program provided when a message arrives in general mail, spam mail, etc., and is rule-based and machine learning. It analyzes the contents of the message based on the collected data and automatically classifies it into the designated work mail, and classifies it as the work mail directory mailbox first, and manages the mailbox by separating work mail and general mail more easily and effectively on the client side. To provide a way to do this.

In addition, an object of the present invention is an intelligent information agent (Intelligent Information Agent) that is primarily classified as a work mail in the intelligent document classifier (Intelligent Documents Clustering Agent) [FIG. 3] provided in the provided client program 4] Secondly, the computer recognizes the keyword for each message and applies the data value (appropriate value) for each keyword. Local DB is generated in the client program, and the stored local DB is searched for the range of keyword values provided by the client program. Searching the stored data in the interface, and extracts the standardized data suitable for the requirements to standardize all mails related to shipping business in a standardized mail editing format, that is, mCard [Fig. 5].

In addition, the present invention is a simple interface utilizing a standardized message, simplifying the client's own data management, data analysis, shipping-only messenger (real time 1: 1 or 1: a kind of client software that can chat online) and It is applied to an e-Market Place (a space on the Internet where commerce can be carried out online) [FIG. 6], thereby enabling a faster, convenient and accurate information exchange to provide a higher business quality.

The present invention primarily classifies the unstructured data of an email document, which is a representative communication means of the shipping industry, as a work-related mail, and the second form of the classified business mail as a standardized database on the client side to provide a search and a system. m-card) [FIG. 5] relates to a system for sending mail, and works by interoperating with a client-side program [FIG. 2] and a webmail server.

The client program loads mail mailboxes and webmail mailboxes such as MS Outlook or MS Outlook Express, and detects and classifies the unstructured messages of the mailboxes according to the client's requirements.

In other words, in the client program, an Intelligent Documents Clustering Agent (FIG. 3) operates based on data acquired by machine learning based on a marine terminology based on an international terminology dictionary. Distinguish mail

As described above, after the first message classification, the keyword text pattern of the message which is pre-machined by the Intelligent Information Agent is first classified into a simple user interface (picture shortcut in the program) according to the client's request. Analysis and classification of Data Values of Keyword Characters of each Message Secondarily and at the same time, Newly Formed New Client-Side Data Values are Stored in a Separate DB from the Client Program [Figure 2].

The structured data stored in the client side as described above is stored in the form of a mail form M-Card [Fig. 5] for sea operation required by the international shipping industry.

Duplicate message items of the stored M-CARD structured data values are automatically updated by the client program by recognizing and comparing the duplicate items.

In addition, the retrieved and retrieved necessary data information according to the request of the client, and then modify the data according to the client's needs.

Due to the repetition of this process, the client becomes standardized data information in the form of a card rather than unstructured text characters.

Referring to the attached [FIG. 1] the present invention, each client is connected to the web server 110 through the Web Browser (100), the web mail mailbox provided in the web application 130 and the mail mailbox of the Outlook 105 The document sorter 145 for Outlook and the document sorter 140 for web applications respectively mounted in the client program are classified into general mail and work mail.

The classified work mail recognizes the keyword of the work mail and the values corresponding to the keyword in the intelligent information information agent 150 of the client program according to the client's request. Will be saved as). Stored data can be retrieved and viewed as needed by the client.

2 is a diagram of a program menu installed in a user (client).

The main page 210 is the first page to enter each sub menu.

The user sees the main page after executing the first login, and when the user wants to check the entire mail, the inbox 221 and the mail classified automatically by the classifier can be checked in the Priority Inbox 222. Sent mail 223 can check the user sent mail, it also supports acknowledgment.

The letter sending 224 is divided into a general mail sending 240 to send a general mail and mCard sending (270) to send a business mail in XML format, such as Time Charter Traveling (TCT), Cargo, Tonnage. There is a recycle bin (225) to check the deleted mail and provides a preference (226) that can manage the signature, forwarding settings, external POP3 settings and the like.

When the mail arrives in the inbox (Fig. 2-221) (310), the intelligent document classifier checks whether the mail includes keywords that should be included in the mail related to TCT, Cargo, and Tonnage (320). If the keyword is not included, it is stored in the inbox 321 as it is.

If the analyzed classification is Tonnage, it is copied to Tonnage mailbox 331, if it is TCT, it is copied to TCT mailbox 332, and if it is Cargo, it is copied to Cargo mailbox 333. The copied mail is delivered to the intelligent information agent to convert the necessary data in the contents of the mail into mCard form.

[Figure 4] When a mail arrives in a mailbox such as a TCT mailbox, a cargo mailbox, or a tonnage mailbox (410), the position of the keyword and the keyword value is analyzed through pattern analysis (420).

The analyzed keyword and the keyword value are separated in order to be converted into an mCard form (430). If the separation fails, the keyword is stored in the mailbox as classified in the document classifier (441).

When the keyword and the keyword value are successfully separated, the value is stored in the DB for data utilization (450).

[Fig. 5] to [Fig. 7] show an example of storing contents of an e-mail in the form of mCard.

Figure 5 shows the Cargo-related mail converted to mCard format.

The mCard is configured in XML format, and the content shown in 501 is analyzed and mapped to the XML tag shown in 502. The rules are as follows.
