In the early days when the Internet and mobile phones became commonplace, network-based services and Internet-based services were completely separate. Since then, due to the development of technology and the demands of consumers, services for exchanging data to and from existing network-based services have begun to emerge, and have evolved into wireless Internet through the initial Short Message Service (SMS). In addition, various web-to-phone and phone-to-web services have emerged by linking wired internet and communication networks as well as phone-to-phone services.

Among these, web-to-phone services are becoming very common with the opening of wireless networks, and are provided by many Internet service providers as well as telecommunication operators. Audio-based content such as ring back tone, background sound and ringtone, and multimedia-based content such as SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service) are provided in the form of Web-to-Phone. It is becoming more common with the phone-to-phone form. Phone-to-Web services are also being activated through the service of uploading digital photos taken with a digital camera built into a mobile phone to their home page or blog.

An object of the present invention is to implement a service for recording a voice message (voice message) along with multimedia content and transmitting it to a mobile phone.

In order to realize the service providing method proposed in the present invention, a service providing system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server), open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) or media server) It must be established in this network to enable application-initiated calls (= Application Initiated Calls) and voice message recording.

Through the service providing method proposed by the present invention, a service user can transmit his or her own voice message to a mobile phone of a desired party together with the multimedia content selected on the web.

1 shows a schematic diagram of a network system for providing a service according to the present invention. As shown in the schematic diagram, a system implementation for realizing the service providing method proposed in the present invention is possible in two ways. The first service provision method is implemented by an open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway), and the second service providing method is a media server. This is how you implement it.

In both ways, the role of the Web server program is the same. The web server program stores multimedia contents and provides a user interface (UI-User Interface) for using the service. Service delivery system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) or media server) and service user information, service user And related information such as called party number information.

Service delivery systems (Open Communication Application Server (= Parlay Application Server) and Open Communication Gateway System (= Parlay Gateway) or Media Server) accept the service user's request Runs the service logic for the service and connects the call to the service user's landline, cellular or internet phone via an application initiated call (= Application Initiated call). The voice message recorded by the service user is stored together with the multimedia content. When the service recipient downloads the multimedia content through the short message service (SMS), the stored voice message is received. send.

In the first service providing method, an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) provides services in conjunction with communication network additional equipment (information broadcasting equipment, etc.) owned by the existing telecommunications service provider. The United Messaging System (UMS) or Automatic Response System (ARS) system, referred to as the Media Server, provides services through on-device provisioning. In particular, in the first service providing method, communication between an open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) is performed through an open standard Parlay API. Parlay API is a technology established by Parlay Group formed by several international telecommunication service providers. It is an open technology that allows third-party application services to safely use communication network resources through standard APIs.

2 is a diagram illustrating a usage flowchart of a service proposed in the present invention. After the service user logs in to the service provider site, he selects the multimedia content to send. Then click the button for recording a voice message and enter the landline, mobile or Internet phone number information and the mobile phone number information of the recipient to record the voice message and complete the payment. . After the payment is completed, the call is made through the application initiated call (= Application Initiated call) function to the landline, mobile phone or Internet phone entered by the user. When the call is received and the voice message is completed, the voice message is transmitted along with the multimedia content to the service providing system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and open communication gateway system). = Stored in a Parlay Gateway or a Media Server). When the service recipient receives the SMS (Short Message Service) for receiving the multimedia content incoming and then accesses the wireless Internet and downloads the multimedia content, the service providing system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) And an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway or Media Server) uses the service called party's mobile number information set by the service user to establish an application initiated call (= Application Initiated call). Try) When the call is answered, the service called party can listen to the voice message sent by the service user.

The effects of the present invention can be divided as follows.

1) Enhancement of multimedia content delivery service

The multimedia content transmission service, which is a representative web-to-phone service, has a function of selecting multimedia content, composing a message, or transmitting it with background music. However, according to the present invention, it is possible to record and transmit a voice message together with such a function, and voice message recording can be performed by a landline phone, a mobile phone or an internet phone, thereby increasing convenience of use. It became.

2) Cost reduction for service providers

Telecommunication operators and Internet service providers, which are service provider-related providers, use a standardized API among the service providing systems proposed in the present invention (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server), open communication gateway system (=). In the case of using a Parlay Gateway), the service development period can be shortened and the cost can be reduced by providing the same service regardless of the types of the lower communication networks (wired network, wireless network, and Internet network).
