As shown in the drawing, the entire system includes a user terminal 100, a memo registration server 200 connected to the user terminal 100 through the Internet, an SMS server 300 for sending SMS, and a user mobile phone for receiving SMS information. 400.

The user terminal 100 should be interpreted to include all information communication terminals capable of transmitting and receiving data through the Internet as an Internet end user side terminal. Thus, a desktop computer, laptop computer, handheld PC, or the like can be the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may be a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, or the like using wireless Internet. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the user terminal 100 may be replaced with the user cellular phone 400 when the cellular phone is a cellular phone.

In the case where the user terminal 100 is a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a handheld PC that transmits and receives data to the Internet, as a typical system component, a web page is called based on a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and the HTML is read. Hyper-Text Markup Language (Hyper-Text Markup Language) includes a web browser program that interprets and displays a code on a monitor and an operating system (OS) program that manages and controls a computer system as a whole.

The memo registration server 200 is a computer that is connected to the user terminal 100 and the Internet, stores learning information of the user, and sends an SMS to the user's mobile phone 400 according to a user's request.

The memo registration server 200 provides a plurality of web pages in response to a request for providing a web page from the connected user terminal 100. Memo registration server 200 is a large computer system including a central processing unit, RAM, ROM, terminal interface, data storage, etc., which is a traditional large computer or workstation with a considerable amount of memory and processing power. It can be used as a server computer.

When the operating subjects of the memo registration server 200 and the SMS server 300 exist in different or physically spaced places, various gateways (not shown) may exist to connect heterogeneous networks.

The user mobile phone 400 is a device for receiving SMS learning contents that the user notes using the user terminal 100, and may be any terminal capable of making a voice call and preparing a short message.

FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of the memo registration server shown in FIG. 1. Referring to the drawings, the memo registration server 200 is a server engine 210, a plurality of web pages 215, user authentication module 220, memo registration module 230, list search module 240, SMS receiving module 250, SMS sending module 260 and various databases (DB).

The server engine 210 provides various web pages 215 for the accessing user terminal 100 and provides a platform for server-side programs such as the above modules. Here, the web page 215 is preferably written in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) format, but may be written in any format as long as it can be read by a computer system. If the user terminal 100 is a portable terminal using the wireless Internet, a swap page is preferable as a user interface, and the swap page is generally written in WML (Wireless Markup Language) format.

In order to register the learning content by accessing the memo registration server 200, a membership registration procedure is required in advance. The membership procedure is a routine procedure, and detailed explanations are omitted.

The user authentication module 220 receives a user ID and a password from the connected user terminal 100 and checks a registered user. In other words, it authenticates whether the connected user is a legitimate user based on the user ID and password registered in the user DB 225 at the time of membership registration. In addition, the user authentication module 220, upon receiving a request for learning content transmission from the user's mobile phone 400, performs the right user based on the SMS caller's telephone number. To this end, it is preferable that the memo registration server 200 receives the user's mobile phone number together in the user registration step.

The memo registration module 230 is a program for receiving learning contents from a user who has passed user authentication and storing the memo DB 235. The list search module 240 is a program for searching a list requested by a user among the learning contents registered in the memo DB 235.

The SMS receiving module 250 receives a learning content transmission request from a user. In order to receive an SMS from the user's mobile phone 400, an SMS MO (Mobile Originated) gateway may be typically required.

The SMS sending module 260 sends the learning contents searched by the list search module 240 using the SMS server 300.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a user taking notes of learning contents and receiving a registered memo by SMS using the system illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. As illustrated, when the user terminal 100 accesses the memo registration server 200 using a web browser, the memo registration server 200 outputs various web pages 215 to the user terminal 100 (S30). ).

Thereafter, the user inputs his ID and password using the user terminal 100. For convenience of explanation, the user is regarded as a user who has already registered according to a normal member registration procedure.

The user authentication module 220 performs user authentication based on the user DB 225 based on the input user ID and password (S32).

When the user authentication is completed, the user may register the learning contents desired to receive the SMS in the memo registration server 200 (S34). 4 exemplifies contents in which a user registers learning contents. As shown, when the user selects the memorized contents and registers the list together with the list, the repeated contents can be received by receiving the SMS afterwards.

In particular, when receiving the SMS has the advantage of increasing the effect of memorization in view of the nature to check the mobile phone in anticipation.

Since the SMS transmission capacity is currently limited to 40 bytes, it is desirable to register the learning content within 40 bytes. Later, as the SMS transmission capacity is expanded, more learning contents can be memorized.

When the memo registration is completed, the user may request to send the learning contents via SMS when he / she wants, and may receive the SMS learning contents. It is preferable to include a list desired to be received when the learning content is transmitted (S36).

When the user requests the learning content by SMS using the user's mobile phone 400, the SMS receiving module 250 receives it, and the user authentication module 220 authenticates whether the user is a registered user based on the SMS caller's phone number. (S38).

If the authentication passes, the list search module 240 retrieves and extracts the list requested by the user from the memo DB 235, and the SMS sending module 260 sends the extracted contents to the mobile phone 400 of the user ( S40, S42).

For example, if the SMS MO number is 123-4567, the user may request list 3 from the MO number. Then, according to the contents illustrated in FIG. 4, the contents of 'Janggo-cheong installation-828, Hubaekjegoku-900' are transmitted to the user's mobile phone 400.

Second Embodiment

In the present embodiment, the learning content is not transmitted to the user's mobile phone 400 by the user's request, but the user registers the SMS sending rule in advance in the memo registration server 200, and the memo registration server 200 is in accordance with the rule. Send SMS to the user's mobile phone (400).

As shown, the memo registration server 200 according to the present embodiment includes a server engine 210, a web page 215 for outputting to the connected user terminal 100, a user authentication module 220, and a memo registration module. 230, the dispatch rule management module 500, the list search module 240, the SMS dispatch module 260, and a plurality of databases (DB). In the drawings, the same reference numerals as those of FIG. 2 are the same members performing the same functions, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The sending rule management module 500 receives an SMS sending rule for registered learning content and sends an SMS to meet the rule. The SMS sending rule may include a sending time, a sending list, and a sending count. In addition, when the learning content is input for each subject, a category of the learning content that is sent for each dispatch time may be determined differently. For example, every Monday can send an English word SMS, and every Tuesday can send the contents of the history. As described above, in order to change the time to be sent for each subject, it is preferable to separately input a category for distinguishing subjects when registering learning contents. That is, it is possible to personalize SMS contents by registering the categories in English as the first category, the Korean history as the second category, the mathematics as the third category, and designating the category when registering the sending rule. The registered dispatch rule is stored in the dispatch rule DB 505 for each individual.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sending learning contents according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated, when the user terminal 100 accesses the memo registration server 200 using a web browser, the memo registration server 200 outputs various web pages 215 to the user terminal 100 (S60). ).

When the user authentication is completed, the user may register the contents to be memorized in the memo registration server 200 (S64). 7 illustrates content in which a user registers learning content. In this embodiment, SMS is transmitted by dividing the categories by subjects.

Since the SMS transmission capacity is currently limited to 40 bytes, it is desirable to register the learning content within 40 bytes. Later, as the SMS transmission capacity is expanded, more learning contents can be memorized.

When the memo registration for the learning content is completed, the user may register the sending rule for the registered learning content (S66). 8 illustrates a shipment rule registered in the shipment rule DB 505. As shown, the SMS sending rule may specify a sending date, time, number, category, list, and the like. According to the drawing, the contents of category 1 are sent twice in sequence at 10 am every Monday. Such a dispatch rule is not limited to the present embodiment and may be implemented in various ways according to the embodiment.

When the sending rule registration is completed, the sending rule management module 500 retrieves the list of the memo DB 235 at the point of time matching the rule, and if not, waits (S68, S70, S72, S74). ).

Unlike the first embodiment, the present embodiment has an advantage that the SMS is automatically sent according to the sending rule registered in the sending rule DB 505 even if the user does not request the learning contents. At this time, it is preferable that the user mobile phone 400 to which the SMS is sent basically conforms to the mobile phone number entered during membership registration.

The user authentication module 720 performs user authentication based on the user DB 725 based on the input user ID and password (S82).

After the user authentication is completed, the user inputs an English word he / she wants to search in the web page (S84). When a word to be searched is input, the word search module 730 reads the meaning of the input word from the word DB 735 and outputs the meaning to the user terminal 600 (S86). If the word input by the user does not exist in the word DB 735, the dictionary server 700 may output a message that the word does not exist or enter a preparation step for searching another DB. For example, the URL address of the web server having another DB may be output to the user terminal 600.

Meanwhile, the word input by the user is stored in the search word DB 745 by the search word management module 740 (S88) and is used as data for transmission to the SMS. As such, the user may access the Internet using the user terminal 600 to study English.

Thereafter, the search word managing module 740 may extract the word searched by the user from the search word DB 745 and send the SMS (S90 and S92). In addition, the word searched today for efficient word memorization can be sent SMS tomorrow.

For example, if the word 'assign' is searched for today, a message of 'assign-assign, assign' may be sent to the user's mobile phone 900 tomorrow.

As such, since the English words searched by the user himself / herself are received by SMS on their mobile phones, the English words can be efficiently managed without creating an English vocabulary. In addition, because it is possible to repeat the learning over a certain time, it is possible to efficiently memorize English words.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, the user searches for the SMS by the user's SMS request, and the English word may be sent according to the sending rule. Detailed description thereof will be omitted.
