Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

1 is a block diagram of a system for providing local information through message analysis according to the present invention, in which 11 is a multimedia messaging service center (MMSC), 12 is a short message service center (SMSC), 13 is a voice mailbox, and 14 The location information providing server, 15 is a message recognition unit, 16 is a voice recognition unit, 17 is a location information collecting unit, 18 is a service control unit, 19 is an SMS generating unit, 20 is a local information database (DB).

In general, the MMSC 11 stores a multimedia message transmitted by the sender. The multimedia message includes text, voice, image, video, etc. In the present invention, information on text is analyzed in the multimedia message. The short message sent by the sender is stored in the short message service center (SMSC). In the present invention, the short message stored in the SMSC 12 is analyzed. In the voice mailbox 13, a voice message transmitted by a caller is stored. In the present invention, the voice message stored in the voice mailbox is analyzed. The location information providing server 14 is a server that provides information on which the caller or called party is currently located.

In the present invention, the advertisement providing server, which is a core configuration, includes a message recognition unit 15 for analyzing a text message, a voice recognition unit 16 for analyzing a voice message, and a location information providing server 14 for the subscriber. Messages or voices transmitted or received by the service subscriber by controlling the location information collecting unit 17, the message recognizing unit 15, the voice recognition unit 16, and the location information collecting unit 17 which receive current location information. The service control unit 18 instructs to generate a short message including information on the region by receiving the current location information of the subscriber from the location information collecting unit 17 in the case of a message for specific information or an appointment. And, according to the request transmitted from the service control unit 18 retrieves the information of the region from the regional information database 20, it is included in the short message and transmitted to the subscriber terminal Includes an SMS generator (19).

The service control unit 18 instructs the message recognition unit 15 and the voice recognition unit 16 to periodically analyze a message or a voice message related to subscribers subscribed to the service. That is, in order to receive the service related to the present invention, a subscription procedure must be received. Of course, the subscription procedure may be omitted, but it is preferable to have a subscription procedure because it analyzes the information related to the communication secrets of each individual. When subscribers subscribe to this service, information about each subscriber is managed in the member management database. The service control unit 18 periodically checks the telephone number of the subscriber who has subscribed to the service from the member management database, and uses the message recognition unit 15 and the voice recognition unit 16 as a destination or subscriber. Instruct the subscriber to check whether there is a message sent by the subscriber.

The message recognition unit 15 analyzes the corresponding message using the telephone number transmitted from the service control unit 18. That is, the message recognizing unit 15 analyzes all messages in which the telephone number transmitted in the stored message is the sender or the receiver. Also, a message for which analysis is completed is not re-analyzed through a method of managing analysis execution history. In other words, the message recognition unit 15 analyzes only the newly stored message.

Like the message recognition unit 15, the voice recognition unit 16 analyzes a message related to the telephone number transmitted from the service control unit 18, and when the analysis is completed, the subsequent analysis is not performed. Here, an algorithm for analyzing a text or a voice of an analysis algorithm performed by the message recognizer 15 and the speech recognizer 16 is used, and the message recognizer 15 and the speech recognizer 16 are text messages. Alternatively, the content of the message is predicted by analyzing the voice message. That is, the message recognizer 15 and the voice recognizer 16 check whether the stored message is a message related to an appointment or a message related to specific information. The message recognizer 15 and the voice recognizer 16 transmit the analyzed result to the service controller 18.

When the service controller 18 receives the message analysis result transmitted from the message recognition unit 15 or the voice recognition unit 16, the service controller 18 performs the following processing according to the result. If a place is included in the analysis result delivered from the message recognition unit 15 or the voice recognition unit 16, the service control unit 18 immediately transfers the region information related to the place and the desired item to the SMS generating unit 19. . However, if there is no place information in the analysis result transmitted from the message recognition unit 15 or the voice recognition unit 16, the service control unit 18 delivers the caller or the called party's telephone number to the location information collection unit 17. Inquires the current location. When the location information collecting unit 17 receives the location information request of a specific subscriber from the service control unit 18, requests the location information of the subscriber terminal to the location information providing server 14, and when the location information is received, the service control unit 18. To pass). Then, the service control unit 18 transmits the subscriber's location information and the desired item transmitted from the location information collecting unit 17 to the SMS generating unit 19. In addition, the service control unit manages the history of the location information and the desired item delivered to the SMS generating unit to analyze the propensity for each subscriber.

The SMS generator 19 retrieves information related to the corresponding item of the corresponding area from the local information database (DB) by using the area information and the desired item transmitted from the service control unit 18, and generates a short message using the result. Send to the subscriber terminal. The short message generated by the SMS generator 19 may be a general short message including corresponding region information, but may be a callback URL including a URL providing the corresponding region information, if necessary.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing local information through message analysis according to the present invention.

First, subscribers must subscribe to this service in order to receive local information. Then, it is checked whether there is a stored message for the subscriber who has subscribed to the service (101).

If the check result message is stored (102) associated with the service subscriber, the analysis is performed (103) on the stored message. Then, it is determined what kind of message the analyzed message is (104). If it is a general message, it returns to the initial state, and if it is a message for which an appointment or specific information is desired, it is checked whether the place information exists in the message (105).

If the information on the place does not exist in the message, the current location of the subscriber station is checked by using the calling party or the called party's telephone number (106). In operation 107, information about a corresponding region is searched from a region information database according to the identified location information and a desired information type. If the place information is included in the message in step 105, the location information is retrieved from the database using the information of the place and the desired information without requesting the location information (107).

When the desired information is retrieved from the local information database, a short message including the retrieved information is generated (108) and transmitted to the subscriber station (109). After that, the history of information transmitted to the subscriber is managed to analyze the propensity for each subscriber.

According to the present invention as described above, by automatically analyzing the text messages or voice messages that the subscribers send and receive, guess the type of information desired by the subscriber, and automatically the information desired by the subscriber in the area associated with the location or the weak location where the subscriber is located It can be generated and provided to the subscriber. Accordingly, it is possible to easily obtain the information desired by the subscriber in the specific region to the service subscriber, and can effectively advertise for the advertiser.
