The present invention relates to a semantic web-based service providing method, and more specifically, to a method for receiving a corresponding service from a remote service system through a text message or a request for a service through a dedicated client program, which is a familiar and convenient communication means. Invention.

SMS service is a simple, fast and inexpensive means of communication, and its service utilization is diversified exponentially. In addition, a dedicated client service (for example, N-Phone service) can be installed on a personal PC by using a dedicated client program. The personal address book management, click-to-call, group call, message call, outgoing call information, incoming / outgoing call management, Because it provides a variety of convenient call services, such as sending and receiving text messages, the number of users using it is increasing, and is expected to continue to increase.

On the other hand, remote service systems such as railway information providing system, movie booking system, etc. are widely spread by the development of communication means, so that the user can receive the corresponding ticketing service through a call or a computer at a remote place. As an example, a case where a user makes a movie reservation in a remote place is as follows.

The first method for the user to make a movie reservation remotely is to call a receptionist belonging to the movie ticketing system to reserve a desired movie. However, from the user's point of view, there is a human tension because there is a communication between the guide and the person-to-person, and there is an inconvenience that there is a high possibility that even the unnecessary information not related to the desired movie reservation is explained by the guide. In addition, such a currency method has a problem that the correct payment processing for the movie booking can not be applied.

The second method of the user to book a movie remotely is to access the homepage of the movie booking system through a computer. That is, the user needs to access the home page of the movie reservation system and perform step-by-step selection of movie reservation menu selection, movie selection, theater selection, and the like. Therefore, this method must be familiar with the usage of the home page of the movie reservation system (e.g., step-by-step selection, location information of the menu, etc.) for step-by-step selection, and the web page is activated by step-by-step selection. There is the inconvenience of having to wait for time continuously. In addition, this method requires user verification, such as whether or not there is a certificate in the computer, and since a final payment process is performed only by inputting a corresponding password, there is a problem that a lot of time and input are required in connection with the payment process.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve the above problems, and to provide a method for receiving a corresponding service from a remote service system by a service request through a text message, which is a familiar and convenient communication means.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for receiving a corresponding service from a remote service system by requesting a service through a dedicated client program, which is a familiar and convenient means of communication.

As a technical means for achieving the above object, a first aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of (a) receiving a text message from a service user via a network of telecommunications companies; (b) generating a command for allowing a service corresponding to the received information of the text message to be executed in a service system; (c) verifying that the service user is authorized for the command; And (d) provides a semantic web-based service providing method comprising the step of delivering the command to the service system.

A second aspect of the present invention includes the steps of (a) receiving a text message from a service user via a network of telecommunication companies; (b) generating a command for allowing a service corresponding to the received information of the text message to be executed in a service system; (c) if the service corresponds to a paid service, processing the payment after checking whether the payment is linked with a payment system of the telecommunication company; And (d) provides a semantic web-based service providing method comprising the step of delivering the command to the service system.

A third aspect of the present invention includes the steps of: (a) receiving information on a service required from a service user through a network of a service user by using a method of exchanging information with a service user and a dedicated client program; (b) generating a command for allowing a service corresponding to the received information to be executed in a service system; And (c) provides a semantic web-based service providing method comprising the step of delivering the command to the service providing system.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the embodiments described below. Embodiments of the present invention are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those skilled in the art.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a system to which the method of the present invention is applied.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system includes a mobile phone terminal 100 capable of transmitting a text message, a PC terminal 102 equipped with a dedicated client program, the Internet 110, a telecommunication service provider network 112, and a service provider. And 150.

In addition, referring to Figure 1, the telecommunications carrier network 112, specifically, SMSC / SMSG (SMS Center / SMS Gateway) 120, payment / mileage / authentication server 122, WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) server 124, client processing server 126, open system 130, semantic SMS server 140, and ontology DB 142.

In addition, as an example of a service provider 150 for providing a remote service, n service systems are illustrated in FIG. 1. The present invention can be applied to services in the field of M-Commerce, integrated convergence (IPTV), home network, information inquiry, N-Phone interworking. Accordingly, examples of the service system shown in FIG. 1 include a ticketing service system for performing ticketing, an order processing service system for processing orders, an information service system for providing information, and an IPTV service for providing IPTV-related services according to an instruction. A home server system that controls the system and home devices. A more detailed example thereof will be described later.

In the present invention, a person who wants to use the service (hereinafter, a service user) receives the service from the service provider 150, and includes a service request method through a text message and a service request method through a dedicated client program.

First, a method of using a text message will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The service user inputs the desired contents of the service (for example, “Beautiful beauty is booked after 2 pm today”) in his mobile phone terminal 100 and transmits the text message to the telecommunication service provider network 140 in a text message. . In this case, the text message should arrive at the semantic SMS server. For example, the text message may include a special number and an intelligent network phone number corresponding to the semantic web-based service of the present invention. Second, a method of applying a special number and an intelligent network telephone number corresponding to a service to be provided through the semantic web-based service of the present invention to an incoming telephone number (or address) of a text message. In the former method, the Seman characteristic SMS server 140 needs to find out the service system, which can be found by analyzing the contents of the text message. For example, the semantic SMS server 140 finds out that the service system is a movie booking system from the message illustrated above, "Beauty reserves two sheets after 7 pm today."

This text message arrives at the semantic SMS server 140 via SMSC / SMSG 120 and open system 130. The semantic SMS server 140 generates a command using the ontology DB 142 to enable a service corresponding to the information of the received text message to be executed in the service system. In this case, a case where the information of the received text message is insufficient for command generation may occur. In this case, the semantic SMS server 140 sends a question text message to obtain an answer from the service user, sends a text message with an SMS URL to select the information required for the service user to generate a command on a web page, or A command is generated using at least one of a method of inputting and a method of using a database with recommendation information. For example, since there is no information on the place in the contents of the movie ticket related text message illustrated above, the semantic SMS server 140 transmits a text message, "Which in the theater?" To the mobile phone terminal 100 of the service user. To get it.

After generating such a command, in order to provide more accurate and discreet semantic web-based service, the semantic SMS server 140 inquires user information through the carrier's payment / mileage / authentication server 122, and gives the service user the right to execute the service. It is desirable to determine whether to pass the command to the service provider 150 after verifying the presence. In addition, after generating such a command, in order to provide a simpler payment method, the semantic SMS server 140 is preferably processed in connection with the payment / mileage / authentication server 122 of the carrier.

The semantic SMS server 140 transmits the generated command to the service system, which is a movie booking system capable of executing this task, after performing such a task. In the movie booking system, the service system makes a reservation according to the received command and transmits the reservation result to the semantic SMS server 140. The semantic SMS server 140 provides the received booking result to the mobile phone terminal 100 through the above-described communication path.

On the other hand, the WAP server 124 provides the additional information to the mobile phone terminal 100 of the service user so that the service user can effectively enter the contents of the service in text or to specifically select the service.

Second, a method of using a dedicated client program will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The service user executes a dedicated client program for the semantic web-based service of the present invention on his PC terminal 102, and then selects / clicks / inputs information of a desired service and transmits it to the Internet 110. The client processing server 126 processes the received information and delivers it to the semantic SMS server 140. The semantic SMS server 140 performs the command generation, user verification, payment processing, etc. as described above, and then transfers the command to the corresponding service system. Since the detailed process is not very different from the method using the text message, a description thereof will be omitted.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a semantic web based service through a text message according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

In step S200, the service user writes a text message to the mobile phone terminal 100 and transmits it to the phone number assigned to the service, accordingly, the communication network equipment of the carrier delivers the received text message to the semantic SMS server 140 .

In step S205, the semantic SMS server 140 analyzes the received text message, searches the ontology DB and generates a command for service execution.

In step S210, the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether the service user is authorized to execute the service through a method of using the payment / mileage / authentication server 122 of the carrier.

If it is determined that there is no authority (step S210), the process proceeds to step S215, the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user that there is no service execution authority by text message. After step S215, the semantic web based service of the present invention is stopped (step S220).

If it is determined that the authority (step S210), the semantic SMS server 140 confirms that all the information necessary to run the service, as a result of the analysis of the received message (step S225).

If it is determined that all the information necessary to execute the service is not included (step S225), the semantic SMS server 140 sends a text message to the service user to request the necessary additional information (step S230). In step S235, the service user enters additional information in response to this request and returns to the semantic SMS server 140 in a text message. After step S235, returning to step S225, the semantic SMS server 140 checks whether the message analysis result, once again, that all the information necessary to run the service is equipped.

If it is determined that all the information necessary for the execution of the service is included (step S225), the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether payment is required to execute the service (step S240).

If it is determined that payment is required for service execution (step S240), the semantic SMS server 140 performs an authentication and payment process in association with the payment / mileage / authentication server 122 of the carrier (step S245). In operation S250, the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether authentication and payment are completed. If it is determined that the authentication and payment is not completed (step S250), the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user of the payment failure by text message (step S255), and proceeds to step S220.

If it is determined that payment is not necessary to execute the service (step S240) or if authentication and payment are determined to be completed (step S250), step S260 is executed. That is, in step S260, the semantic SMS server 140 delivers a command to the corresponding service system to give an execution command.

In step S265, the service system executes the service according to the received command, and delivers the service execution result to the semantic SMS server 140.

In step S270, the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user of the service execution result in a text message.

In operation S300, when the service user inputs and transmits a service request message as a text message through a chat window of a dedicated client program running in the PC terminal 100, the client processing server 126 transmits the received service request message to the open system 130. ) To the semantic SMS server 140.

In step S305, the semantic SMS server 140 analyzes the received service request message, searches the ontology DB and generates a command for service execution.

In operation S310, the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether the service user has the authority to execute the corresponding service through a method of using the payment / mileage / authentication server 122 of the telecommunication company.

If it is determined that there is no authority (step S310), the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user to the dialog window of the dedicated client program that there is no service execution authority (step S315). After step S315, the semantic web based service of the present invention is stopped (step S320).

If it is determined that the authority (step S310), the semantic SMS server 140 checks whether all the information necessary to run the service, as a result of the received message analysis (step S325).

If it is determined that all the information necessary to execute the service is not included (step S325), the semantic SMS server 140 requests the service user for additional information necessary through a dialog of the dedicated client program (step S330). In operation S335, the service user returns additional information to the semantic SMS server 140 in response to the request. After step S335, the process returns to step S325 and the semantic SMS server 140 checks whether the message analysis result, once again, has all the information necessary to execute the service.

If it is determined that all the information necessary for the service execution is included (step S325), the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether payment is required for service execution (step S340).

If it is determined that payment is required for service execution (step S340), the semantic SMS server 140 proceeds with the authentication and payment process in association with the payment / mileage / authentication server 122 of the carrier (step S345). In operation S350, the semantic SMS server 140 determines whether authentication and payment have been completed. If it is determined that the authentication and payment is not completed (step S350), the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user of the payment failure through the dialog window (step S355), and proceeds to step S320.

If it is determined that payment is not required for service execution (step S340) or if authentication and payment are determined to be completed (step S350), step S360 is executed. That is, in step S360, the semantic SMS server 140 delivers a command to the corresponding service system to give an execution command.

In step S365, the service system executes the service according to the received command, and delivers the service execution result to the semantic SMS server 140.

In operation S370, the semantic SMS server 140 notifies the service user of the service execution result through the chat window of the dedicated client program.
