The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing a wireless Internet Numbers for Contents (WINC) service, and more particularly, to a WINC service using data interworking with a server (DNS) that provides a telephone number mapping (ENUM) service. It relates to a system and a method for providing the same.

Since 2005, if a phone number is entered in the address bar instead of an English-language complex Internet address, it is expected to be able to directly access an institution, a company, or a personal homepage. It will introduce ENUM (tElephone Number Mapping) service that can use numbers as Internet addresses.

In the ENUM service, if an Internet user enters a phone number of an individual, a business, or an organization in the address input box instead of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator, hereinafter referred to as 'URL'), the corresponding address server (generally, a domain name server) Find the correct URL and connect automatically. At this time, the Internet user must enter both the country code and area code before the telephone number. A display example of such ENUM service provision is attached to FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the DNS 110 first receives a representative telephone number, a URL, a representative mail, and the like from the EUNM registrant terminal A and registers it as ENUM information. That is, the DNS 110 may register the URL, the representative mail, and other information in addition to the representative phone number as the ENUM information, which is provided at a later request by the EUNM service user.

Meanwhile, WINC (Wireless Internet Content Access Number System, now called WINC), which is currently commercially available, is the National Internet Address Agency (NIDA), a national Internet address resource management organization, to improve the usage environment of wireless Internet users. It is a public service that is jointly organized by three domestic mobile telecommunication companies to access wireless Internet contents through numbers instead of entering complicated URLs.

For example, for the domain .kr of the Korea Internet & Security Agency, the letter that removes www and the top level domain becomes nida, and the mobile phone number corresponding to each letter becomes 6432. And, since the unique number is 0, the mobile Internet address (WINC) of the Korea Internet & Security Agency is '6432 # 0'.

Accordingly, the service user can directly access the representative URL of the Korea Internet & Security Agency by inputting the mobile address 6432 # 0 through his terminal. A display example of such WINC service provision is attached to FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the DNS 210 receives a representative telephone number and a corresponding URL from the mobile address registrant terminal A and registers the information as WINC information.

Thereafter, the DNS 210 provides only the representative phone number and the corresponding URL to the mobile address user terminal A when providing the WINC service. Therefore, the user of the mobile address does not know the URL to which the user wants to access the WINC service. You cannot use it normally.

That is, when a mobile address user wants to access a friend's (mobile address registrant's) homepage using his terminal, he or she may be provided with a URL corresponding to the friend's phone number from the DNS 210. If you don't know the address, it's difficult to determine the exact URL and you'll eventually lose access to it.

Therefore, even if the mobile address user does not know the exact URL to access, there is a great need for a system and a method for using the WINC service normally.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve such a problem, when the service user does not know the URL of the service registrant wants to access, ENUM information (-phone number, representative electronics) for each service registrant through data interworking with the ENUM server It is to provide a WINC service providing system and a method using data interworking with the ENUM server that can provide mail and URL) to the service user terminal.

In addition, the present invention provides a system and method for providing a WINC service using data interworking with an ENUM server that allows a service user who encounters the provided ENUM information to directly access a service registrant's URL only by inputting a specific number (number). It is for.
