The method may further include displaying the character string corresponding to the inputted number string.

Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for providing a voice call service for searching information using called party information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, The same or corresponding elements without the same reference numerals are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing an overall system for providing a voice call service for searching information by using recipient information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an outgoing call service according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating input of called party information from a terminal.

1, an overall system for providing a voice call service for searching information by using recipient information includes an originating terminal 10, exchanges 30 and 35, base stations 40 and 41, wired exchanges 45 and 46, A location register 50, a number management device 70, and an information providing terminal 90.

The calling terminal 10 is a terminal capable of accessing the Internet such as a wireless LAN terminal, a Bluetooth terminal, and a portable Internet terminal, as well as a mobile communication terminal including a PCS, a PDA, a smart phone, , All terminals capable of voice communication. Hereinafter, a mobile communication terminal will be described as an example, but all terminals capable of voice communication as described above can be similarly applied.

The calling terminal 10 can not only connect the called party information to the normal telephone number at the time of the voice call request but also transmit the called party information to the string corresponding to the character string or character string according to the voice call service according to the present invention, The voice communication with the information providing terminal 90 can be performed. In particular, the information providing terminal 90 provides the calling terminal 10 with the voice information corresponding to the search term in the character string during the call connection.

Therefore, when the caller terminal 10 inputs the caller information for the information providing terminal 90 to be called and the search word to be searched, the calling terminal 10 inputs the caller information by using a string as well as a number It is desirable to provide a user interface to do so.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the user of the calling terminal 10 inputs '* search * gull' to obtain information on the gull and presses the call button, the information providing terminal 90 corresponding to the search, And listens to the voice information about the gull provided from the information providing terminal 90 to which the call is connected.

Here, the first * is an identifier for the originating terminal 10 to generate service identification information that enables the mobile communication network to recognize that the called party information is a numeric string corresponding to a character string. It goes without saying that the service identification information can be generated by other identifiers such as # and specific function button presses. Also, the second * is a character distinguisher for distinguishing between a reserved word search and a search word gull. Likewise, it is natural that the reserved word and the search term can be distinguished by other identifiers such as the second * and #, and by pressing a specific function button.

Herein, the reserved words are the caller identification information for distinguishing the information providing terminal 90. For example, the information providing terminal 90 providing a search function provides a reservation function such as 'search', a movie ticket or a play ticket And the information providing terminal 90 providing the schedule management function may be set to 'schedule', for example. In addition, it is obvious that all of the information providing terminals 90 that can provide audio information such as weather, sports, news, etc. can be applied.

As another example, the user preorders the movie through the calling terminal 10. [ * Advance * Spider-Man 'or a string of digits corresponding thereto, the information providing terminal 90 is provided with information on advance purchase corresponding to the search word Spider-Man, corresponding to advance reservation, which is a reserved word. It is a matter of course that the calling terminal 10 can perform the booking procedure after the information is acquired. In addition, a movie ticket to the theater close to the current position can be booked through the location information of the calling terminal 10. The voice call processing process for the above-mentioned examples will be described later with reference to the drawings.

In addition, the calling terminal 10 outputs the inputted called party information to the screen. You can print either a string or a string of numbers, or both. The string does not have to be in Korean, but it can be a string in another language such as English. That is, it is converted into a character string corresponding to the inputted numeric string and displayed.

Here, the first identifier * indicates that the receiver information is input as a character (service according to the present invention), so that only the second identifier * can be output so that the reserved word and the search word can be distinguished from each other without outputting to the screen. As shown in FIG. 2, * may be output between the reserved word and the search word while it is being input, but it may be converted to a symbol such as '-' to output a viewable screen to the user on the UI.

The inputted called party information is preferably transmitted to the communication network in the form of a numerical column, but may be transmitted in a string form. In the existing mobile communication network, the caller information is processed only in a numerical column format when a voice call is requested in the originating terminal 10. However, a system capable of processing recipient information in a string format can be developed, The mobile station 10 may transmit the recipient information in a character format (e.g., ASCII (ASCII) of 1 byte or KSC5601 of 2 bytes).

1, the exchange 30 sets a call for a call between the information providing terminal 90 and the calling terminal 10 corresponding to the called party information, in response to the call request message received from the calling terminal 10 . The exchange 30 transmits the search word identifier received from the number managing device 70 to the information providing terminal 90 so that the information providing terminal 90 provides the voice information for the search word to the calling terminal 10 do.

The exchange 30 receives the telephone number of the receiving side from the originating terminal 10 and transmits information (position, corresponding exchange 35) of the information providing terminal 90 from the location register corresponding to the receiving telephone number, Etc.) and establishes a call with the exchange 35. [ According to the present invention, the exchange 30 receives a number string (hereinafter referred to as a character string) corresponding to a character string or a character string, rather than a telephone number, from the calling terminal 10, (Hereinafter referred to as a called number) of the information providing terminal 90 is acquired.

According to the process of the existing communication network, when the called party information includes the service identification information, the exchange 30 recognizes that the service identification information is included, and transmits the corresponding called party information to the location register 50, From the location register 50 that has received the called party number from the called party.

Alternatively, when the exchange 30 can recognize that the called party information is a character string, the exchange 30 transmits the called party information to the number managing device 70 without passing through the location register 50, From the device (70). Accordingly, in the second case, the calling terminal 10 does not need to transmit separate service identification information to the exchange as described above.

The base stations 40 and 41 (including the base station controller) perform a relay function for communication between each terminal and the exchanges 30 and 35. The base station and the base station controller are obvious to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

The wired exchanges 45 and 46 perform the function of setting the call of the wired telephone. That is, it performs functions similar to the exchanges 30 and 35 that set up a call of a wireless terminal such as a mobile terminal. Typically, the wired exchange 35 receives the telephone number of the recipient from the originating terminal 10 and establishes a call with the corresponding exchange corresponding to the recipient telephone number. Here, the wired exchanger 45 receives the called party information, which is a numeric string corresponding to the character string or character string, from the calling terminal 10, and receives the called party number corresponding to the character string from the number managing device 70 connected via the network. The function according to the remaining call connection is similar to that of the exchange 30, and will be obvious to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

The location register 50 stores the information of the subscribed terminals. Currently, the location register includes a home location register (HLR) and a visit location register (VLR), and there is a location register associated with each terminal subscriber. The location register stores the subscribed service information and location information of the associated terminal. The exchange 30 recognizes the called party location register through the called party number of the received information providing terminal 90 and acquires the information of the information providing terminal 90 via the called party location register to set the call. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that a detailed description thereof will be omitted. It is obvious that all devices storing subscriber information in addition to the location register 50 described above can be equally applied.

In general, the location register 50 stores not only the voice call service using the character string according to the present invention, but also other information on other subscribed services. (Originating terminal information and called party information) received from the originating terminal 10 via the exchange 30, and provides the corresponding service through the received identification information. The location register 50 recognizing the identification information of the service according to the present invention can receive the converted destination number of the information providing terminal 90 by transmitting the corresponding called party information to the number managing device 70 have. The location register 50 transmits a received called number to the exchange 30 so that a call between the originating terminal 10 and the information providing terminal 90 is established.

The number management apparatus 70 transmits the call number of the information providing terminal 90 corresponding to the character string or the alphanumeric string transmitted from the originating terminal 10 for voice call connection between the originating terminal 10 and the information providing terminal 90, To the mobile communication network. Here, the number management device 70 transmits the information on the search term to the information providing terminal 90 so that the information providing terminal 90 provides the voice information corresponding to the search term.

When the call is connected to the originating terminal 10, the information providing terminal 90 provides the originating terminal 10 with related voice information corresponding to the search term. The information providing terminal 90 according to the present invention includes not only a general server connected to the exchange 35 but also a mobile terminal communicating with the base station 41 and a terminal providing information through the wire exchange 46. [ The server connected to the exchange 35 of the information providing terminal 90 may be an automatic response system (ARS), and the information provider providing the information through the mobile terminal may be a general user. That is, a user having a specialized knowledge in a specific field becomes an information provider, and the mobile terminal of the user becomes the information providing terminal 90, so that the mobile terminal (information providing terminal) And can provide the corresponding information.

The information providing terminal 90 provides a search word identifier or a destination number corresponding to the search word received from the number management device 70. [ Since the information providing terminal 90 provides voice information corresponding to a search word when making a call connection with the calling terminal 10, the information providing terminal 90 should be able to recognize the search word when a call is connected.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information providing terminal 90 may receive a query identifier from a mobile communication network when a call is connected. The search word identifier is generated by the information providing terminal 90 upon receiving the search word from the number managing device 70 and is transmitted to the number managing device 70. The number managing device 70 includes the search word identifier And provides it to the mobile communication network. Then, when the mobile communication network requests the information providing terminal 90 to make a call connection to the called number, the information providing terminal 90 recognizes the relevant search word through the search word identifier.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information providing terminal 90 receives the calling terminal information together with the search word from the number managing device 70, and stores the received calling terminal information. Then, recognizing the calling terminal connected to the call, the corresponding search word is recognized.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information providing terminal 90 has a plurality of destination numbers, and when receiving the destination number request message including the search word from the number managing device 70, To the number management device 70, and temporarily stores the provided called number and the search word. Thereafter, the caller recognizes the corresponding search word by recognizing the call destination number connected to the caller terminal 10 during call connection.

As described above, the information providing terminal interlocks with the number managing device 70 to recognize the search term when the call connection with the originating terminal 10 is performed, and provides the corresponding voice information. Hereinafter, a method using a search term identifier corresponding to a search term will be described as an example of the first method of recognizing the search term, and the remaining two methods can be similarly applied to the following description .

Therefore, the information providing terminal 90 is provided with voice information providing means such as ARS for providing voice information through a communication network, communication means for performing data communication with the number managing apparatus 70 via a wired or wireless network It is of course possible to perform data communication through a communication network), a search word identifier generating means corresponding to a search word, a voice information generating means corresponding to a search word, and a storing means for storing a search word, a search word identifier, have. Here, the voice information providing means can use a Tex-To-Speech (TTS) technique for converting a character into voice, and can be operated more easily by the VXML (Voice XML) technology. TTS technology and VMXL technology will be obvious to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail, and it is obvious that the voice conversion technology and the like to be developed in the future can be similarly applied.

FIG. 3A is a functional block diagram illustrating a configuration of a number management apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a reserved word table stored in a number management apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. to be.

3A, the number managing apparatus 70 includes a receiving unit 71, a storing unit 72, a character recognizing unit 73, an extracting unit 74, an interlocking unit 75, and a transmitting unit 76 .

The receiving unit 71 receives the calling party information transmitted from the calling terminal 10 and the calling terminal information capable of recognizing the calling terminal 10 from the switching center 30 or the location register 50. In addition, since it is obvious that arbitrary data can be received from a specific device, a detailed description will be omitted.

The storage unit 72 stores one or more character strings corresponding to information registered for each subscriber (information providing terminal) registered in advance, and a search word identifier corresponding to the destination number and the search word corresponding to the character string. Each subscriber may have a separate area to store a character string and a destination number corresponding to the character string. Accordingly, the number management device 70 can extract the called number of the information providing terminal 90 corresponding to the character string received and recognized from the calling terminal 10.

Referring to FIG. 3B, the storage unit 72 stores a reserved word table 80. FIG. The reserved word table stores a reserved word, URL (URL) or telephone number of the information providing terminal corresponding to each reserved word, and a search word identifier corresponding to each search word and a search word. For example, when receiving 'retrieval * Egypt' as recipient information from the originating terminal 10, the number management device 70 extracts 02-1111-2222 * 1100 and transmits it to the exchange. Here, the search term identifier is provided in a numeric column format that can be processed by the mobile communication network. If the mobile communication network can process the string later, the search word identifier can be transmitted without being converted (or mapped) .

Herein, in another embodiment, the information providing terminal 90 may connect or connect to the information providing terminal 90 through the corresponding URL (URL) when the called number or the search word and the search word identifier are not stored in advance, Or the like to provide a search word, thereby receiving the search word identifier corresponding to the destination number and the search word. For example, in the case of retrieval number and query word identifier retrieved through the URL, in case of "retrieval * Egypt", the corresponding information request is transmitted to the corresponding terminal of Naver through ' www.naver.com/mobsearch.asp?id= Egypt' can do.

That is, the number management device 70 does not store the called number of each information providing terminal 90 but can provide it to the exchange as it receives the corresponding called number from the information providing terminal 90 in real time. The number management device 70 recognizes the information providing terminal 90 corresponding to the received string and receives the called number from the information providing terminal 90 as the recognized information providing terminal 90 requests the called number . In addition, the number management device 70 receives a search word identifier (number format) corresponding to a search word when transmitting the search word together with the request of the destination number.

Referring again to FIG. 3A, when the character recognition unit 73 receives a character string from the originating terminal 10, the character recognition unit 73 recognizes a character string corresponding to the character string. Typically, a character input method is determined according to a company manufacturing a terminal. Therefore, in order to recognize the character string corresponding to the character string, the character input method of the calling terminal 10 must be known. As a method of knowing the character input method of the calling terminal 10, information on the type of the calling terminal 10 is used. The model information may be received together with the called party information in response to the call request of the originating terminal 10 from the location register 50 or the exchange 30 recognizing the character string and may be registered in advance from the user or received from the location register 50 in advance And may be stored in the storage unit 72 as calling subscriber information. Therefore, the character recognition unit 73 can recognize the character string and the character string corresponding to the model information.

Here, the model information of the terminal is not necessarily received from the location register 50, but a subscription information management server for managing the subscription information of each terminal exists separately, and the subscription information management server, . Alternatively, the character input method is set in advance without the model information of the originating terminal 10, and each terminal transmits a numeric string corresponding to the character input through the set character input method to the mobile communication network, The controller 70 may recognize the character string according to the preset character input method.

The extraction unit 74 performs a function of extracting a search word identifier corresponding to a destination number and a search word corresponding to a character string (or a character recognized by the character recognition unit) received by the receiving unit 71 from the storage unit 72 do.

If the called number and the search word identifier are not stored, the interlocking unit 75 performs the function of fetching the corresponding information in cooperation with the information providing terminal 90. That is, the called number and the search word identifier are acquired from the information providing terminal 90 through the address of the information providing terminal 90 stored in the storage unit 72.

Accordingly, the called number and the query identifier may be received from the information providing terminal 90 in real time, and may be registered and stored in advance.

The transmitting unit 76 transmits the called number and the search word identifier extracted or obtained by the extracting unit 74 or the linking unit 75 to the switching center 30 via the location register 50. [ Of course, it is also possible to transmit directly to the exchange 30. In addition, since it is obvious that arbitrary data can be transmitted to a specific apparatus, a detailed description will be omitted.

Hereinafter, an overall procedure of a voice call service for searching information by using the called party information of the present invention will be described.

4 is a diagram schematically showing a general procedure of a voice call service for searching information by using called party information according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In particular, referring to FIG. 4, a description will be given of an example in which a character string is transmitted as recipient information.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step S410, the originating terminal 10 transmits a call request signal including caller information including a character string and identification information to an exchange. In step S415, the exchange 30 recognizes that the called party information is not a general telephone number or transmits the called party information and the calling terminal information (e.g., telephone number or terminal identification number) to the location register 50 through the service identification information, . In step S420, the location register 50 recognizes the corresponding service through the service identification information. In step S425, the location register 50 requests the called number by transmitting the alphanumeric string and the calling terminal information to the number management device 70. [

In step S430, the number managing device 70 recognizes the character string corresponding to the character string and extracts the destination number corresponding to the character string. As described above, the called number can be extracted from the reserved word table 80 stored in the number managing device 70 or received from the information providing terminal 90 in real time. Also, when the search word is included in the string, the search word identifier for the search word is extracted. As described above, the search term identifier may be stored in the reserved word table 80 or may be received from the information providing terminal 90 in response to a request in real time.

The information providing terminal 90 stores the information (for example, a telephone number) of the corresponding originating terminal 10 when the search word identifier is received from the information providing terminal 90. When a call is received from a terminal matching the stored information, the search word identifier can be matched with the search word, and the voice information corresponding to the matched search word is extracted and provided.

Alternatively, the information providing terminal 90 stores the search word, the search word identifier, and the called number together to recognize the terminal connected to the called number, extracts a search word corresponding to the search word identifier, and provides the corresponding voice information . Here, the information providing terminal 90 possesses a plurality of destination numbers to be provided to the number managing device 70, selects one of them, transmits the selected destination number, and stores the transmitted destination number in association with the search word and the search word identifier. Therefore, the search term corresponding to the calling terminal 10 to be connected later can be recognized.

 In step S435, the number managing device 70 provides the extracted called number to the location register 50. In step S440, the location register 50 transmits the called number to the switching center 30, Sets up a call for voice communication between the calling terminal 10 and the information providing terminal 90 through the corresponding called number.

If the originating terminal 10 recognizes that the exchange 30 is a character string when the originator 10 transmits a character string other than the character string, the exchange 30 immediately transmits the character string By transmitting the character string to the management device 70, it is possible to receive the corresponding destination number and set a call for voice communication.

5 is a diagram illustrating an operation procedure for an information search voice call service using a character string of a number management device and an information providing terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

5, in step S510, the number managing device 70 receives the called party information from the switching center 30 or the location register 50. [ In step S515, the number managing device 70 recognizes the character string of the called party information. In other words, when it is a numeric string corresponding to a character, it is converted into a character string in accordance with the model information of the calling terminal. In accordance with the recognized character string, in step S520, the reserved word and the search word of the character string are recognized, and the information providing terminal 90 corresponding to the reserved word is recognized. In step S525, it is determined whether there is a search term identifier corresponding to the destination number and the search term corresponding to the information providing terminal 90 in the storage unit 72. If the search term identifier does not exist, the search term and search term identifier To the corresponding information providing terminal (90).

In step S535, the information providing terminal 90 generates a search term identifier corresponding to the search term, and then recognizes the search term corresponding to the search term identifier according to the call connection request including the search term identifier and transmits the corresponding voice information to the calling terminal 10, the search term, the search term identifier, the called number, and the calling terminal information. In step S540, the information providing terminal 90 transmits the call destination number and the search word identifier to the number management device 70. [

And transmits the telephone number and search information to the location register 50 or the exchange 30 of the mobile communication network in step S545.
