The present invention relates to a communication service method and system for providing voice communication and data communication, and more particularly, to a communication service method and system for providing voice communication and data communication using a representative number.

In recent years, as the spread of landline telephones and wireless cell phones have become commonplace, the number of telephones owned by each individual has increased to at least two, such as landline telephone numbers, wireless cellular telephone numbers, and office telephone numbers. In addition, changes in telephone numbers have occurred frequently due to the replacement and moving of wireless phones.

In order to solve the inconvenience caused by the possession of several telephone numbers and the change of telephone numbers, the subscriber is given a unique number, a so-called representative number, which is not changed for the rest of his life, and several telephone numbers held by the subscriber to this representative number. The service was launched to enable integrated management by connecting the call through the representative number. Therefore, the caller who wants to talk to the subscriber can remember only the representative number and use the representative number to talk to the subscriber.

However, the conventional representative number is mainly used for integrated management of voice communication-oriented services, that is, landline telephone number, fax number or wireless telephone number.

On the other hand, as the number of Internet users increases, data communication is being actively used as individuals have many Internet sites that can be accessed by using a uniform resource locator (URL) such as an e-mail or a homepage. However, such a plurality of URLs are connected to the representative number and are not managed.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for integrated management of the representative number provided to the subscriber so that not only voice communication but also data communication such as an email, a homepage, and an Internet site can be performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a communication method capable of integrating and managing voice communication and data communication using a representative number.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly describe the present invention. Like parts are designated by like reference numerals throughout the specification.

First, a communication system that performs a communication method capable of performing voice communication and data communication using a representative number will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a communication system that can use the representative number.

The communication system 100 according to the present invention includes an exchange unit 110, a subscriber database 113, a web server connection unit 115, and a URL SMS transmission unit 117.

The caller is connected to the communication system 100 through the wireless network 131 to the voice communication and data communication terminal 121 or through the wired network 133 using the voice communication terminal 123.

In the subscriber database 113, the representative number of each of the subscribers is stored. In addition, each representative number stores a contact number held by each individual, that is, a mobile phone number, a home phone number, an office phone number, and a URL of an Internet site such as a homepage.

The exchange unit 110 transmits and receives a signal to a caller requesting a connection through a wireless network 131 or a wired network 133. In addition, the exchange unit 110 is connected to the subscriber database 113, the web server connection unit 115 or the URL SMS transmission unit 117 to transmit and receive the corresponding signal.

The web server connecting unit 115 receives the URL from the switching unit 110 and accesses the Internet web server.

The URL SMS transmission unit 117 receives the URL transmission signal from the exchange unit 110 and transmits the URL to the sender as an SMS.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a caller attempts to access a subscriber using a representative number of the subscriber.

The exchange unit 110 receives the representative number input by the caller through the wired network 133 to the voice communication terminal or through the wireless network 131 to the terminal for voice and data communication (S131). When the representative number is received, the exchange unit 110 checks the entered representative number in the subscriber database 113 and checks whether the subscriber is the subscriber (S210).

If not the subscriber, that is, if the number entered by the caller is not registered as the representative number in the subscriber database 113, the exchange unit 110 transmits the missing guide broadcast to the caller (S220).

In the case of the subscriber, the exchange unit 110 determines whether the caller attempts to access the voice communication terminal or the voice and data communication terminal (S230).

If it is determined in step S230 that the caller connects to the voice communication terminal (S240), the contact numbers capable of voice communication are selected from among contact numbers registered in the representative number of the subscriber (S241). The caller transmits a guide broadcast so that the caller can select a desired number from among the selected contact numbers (S242). For example, when the mobile phone number 1, the home phone number 2, the office phone number 3, and the Internet site 4 are registered in the representative number of the subscriber stored in the subscriber database 113, the caller selects from 1 to 3 times. The announcement broadcasts so that (S242).

When the connection number is selected by the caller according to the announcement, the switching unit 110 performs an automatic call connection with the connection number (S243).

If it is determined in step S230 that the caller accesses the terminal for voice and data communication (S250), the announcement broadcasts to allow the caller to select a desired number of accesses from all the contact numbers registered in the representative number of the subscriber. (S251). For example, when the mobile phone number 1, the home phone number 2, the office phone number 3, and the Internet site 4 are registered in the subscriber's representative number stored in the subscriber database 113, the caller's terminal is not only in voice communication but also in data. Since communication is possible, the announcement broadcasts to select the desired access number from 1 to 4 (S251).

The exchange unit 110 determines whether the sender wants data communication (S252).

If the caller does not want data communication, that is, if the caller selects 1 to 3 in the above-described example, the switching unit 110 performs an automatic call connection with the corresponding connection number (S243).

When the caller selects No. 4 for data communication, the exchange unit 110 transmits the URL of the subscriber's corresponding Internet site to the URL SMS transmitter 117, and the URL SMS transmitter 117 sends the URL of the Internet site. Send to the sender using the SMS (S253). The sender who has received the URL as an SMS is wirelessly connected to the web server connection unit 115 of the Internet site of the corresponding URL through the exchange unit 110 by pressing a call button.

In this way, the subscriber can register not only the voice communication telephone number but also the URL for connecting to the Internet site and performing data communication in the representative number.

In addition, by using the switching unit 110, both voice communication and data communication are possible depending on whether the caller's terminal is for voice communication or voice and data communication.

By doing so, it is possible to access all the contact numbers of the individual with only the representative number.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various other changes and modifications are possible.

The subscriber can register and manage a plurality of voice communication telephone numbers in the representative number as well as a URL for data communication for accessing an Internet site.

In addition, the caller may perform not only voice communication but also data communication using the representative number of the subscriber by the exchange unit which determines whether the caller's terminal is for voice communication or voice and data communication.

Therefore, the caller can easily contact the subscriber even if he remembers only the representative number of the subscriber.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a communication service system capable of voice communication and data communication.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a caller attempts to access a subscriber using a representative number of the subscriber.
