Here, the first embodiment of the present invention is a description of an email transmission method provided by a specific site, and the second embodiment is an email transmission using a general email transmission application (for example, Microsoft Outlook Express). This is a description of how to do.

First, an operation method of the first embodiment regarding an email transmission method provided by a specific site will be described. Herein, a specific site refers to a site that provides a "ponpal" service as shown in the figure. First, an Internet user who wants a phone pal service accesses a specific site performing an email transmission to a phone number, and registers as a member by inputting his mobile phone number and email address (S10). At this time, the personal information (personal information, residence information, company information, etc.) as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is input.

Next, the member writes the mail by inputting the recipient's phone number and the contents of the mail on the phone arm writing screen as shown in FIG. 4, and then presses the "send" button 48 to instruct sending (S20). At this time, if necessary, the reference recipient 42, the blind reference recipient 43, and the attachment 46 may be input.

Then, the server device (not shown) that operates the specific site searches the phone number of the recipient to find out whether there is a corresponding e-mail address (S30). This search is performed on a database table in which membership information is input.

If the corresponding e-mail address is successfully searched (that is, the recipient is a member of a specific site), the content of the mail is transmitted to the searched e-mail address. However, if the search fails (that is, if the recipient is not a member of a specific site or there is no email address information), the message is saved as the mobile phone number and the email is sent to the recipient's phone number. Notify (S40). This notification may be specific to the e-mail contents, but more preferably, the e-mail has arrived (for example, the e-mail has been sent to www.ponpal.com. If you register as a member, you can check the e-mail contents). Only, etc.) can be informed by SMS.

Through this process, if the recipient is a non-member, you can sign up as a member of a specific site (S60) and check the contents of the e-mail stored in front of your account. As shown in FIG. 6, the contents of the mail may be checked (S62) or a reply may be sent as shown in FIG. 7.

Hereinafter, as a second embodiment according to the present invention, a description will be given of a method of sending an email using a general email sending application (for example, Microsoft Outlook Express).

First, the user enters an e-mail address (for example, 0112223333@ponpal.com) starting with the phone number of the mobile phone, composes a mail, and sends the mail. The mail server of the application then connects to a specific site (www.ponpal.com) and sends an email. The server device (not shown) of the specific site receiving the e-mail separates only the phone number and searches whether there is a member with the corresponding number. In this case, the first digit of the e-mail includes "011", "016", "017", "019", etc., or is composed only of Arabic numerals or includes a specific identifier (for example, "-"). In the case, it is determined that the telephone number is included.

If there is no member who matches the search result, the member does not return the sent email, saves it as a mobile phone number, and then sends an SMS to the mobile phone number to encourage membership. Subsequent processes processed at this specific site are similar to those processed in the first embodiment, and will be omitted.

According to the email transmission system using the phone number according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to send an email using the phone number of the mobile phone that each person is carrying as an email address. Therefore, confusion caused by calling an email address can be avoided, and a mistake such as a typo caused by a long address input can be prevented.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, it is possible to make various modifications or variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the appended claims will cover such modifications and variations as fall within the spirit of the invention.
