Abstract

A method for selectively notifying a changed number information during life time by using a text message and a system thereof are provided to register information about the changed number in a changed number DB and notify a caller of the changed number only when the caller wants to receive a changed number service while paying predetermined expenses, thereby removing a waste of changed number service cost to secure the lifelong service of the changed number. A method for providing a changed number selectively during life by using a text message comprises the following steps of: allowing a subscriber, who wants to receive a changed number service, to register the changed number in a changed number DB(Database)(P100); checking the changed number information registered in the DB when making a call with a previous number(P300); and checking whether a caller wants to receive the changed number while paying predetermined expenses(P400).

Description

The information supporting method for changed number and system approximately, which has a interactive service by SMS}

The present invention relates to a service method and a system for selectively notifying the person who needs the change number lifetime guidance using a text message, and a system, in particular, registering a subscriber who wants to inform the change number in a database; Verifying whether there is a change number guide information registered in a database when a call is attempted to the number before the change by the calling party; If there is a change number guide information registered in the database, checking whether the sender terminal is willing to receive the change number guide service at a certain cost; If the agreement is to bear a certain cost from the calling party and receive the change number guidance, after the change by notifying the number in a text message and charging a certain cost to the calling party; It relates to a selective change number lifetime guidance service system and method using a text message comprising a.

The Ministry of Information and Communication and the telecommunication company are in the process of unifying the unique identification numbers (for example, 011, 016, 018, 019, etc.) of each existing telecommunication company as a procedure for unifying the numbering system of the wireless mobile communication terminal. Mobile communication terminal users tend to change the number or register a new number (eg, 010).

In addition, when more than 80% of all users of the wireless mobile communication terminal are given a unified identification number, the remaining existing unique identification number user is no longer placed in the situation that the use of the identification number, including the existing identification number The user who is using the phone number to face the situation that it is inevitable to change the number.

As a result, significant damages and losses can be foreseen in the case of inadvertent notification of a changed number in telephone calls to people who do not communicate frequently, including important business partners. The call and the call to the changed number in the call of the operator and users are urgently required.

That is, in general, when a new change is made to an existing phone number, the terminal user only notifies the number change to the person listed in the address book built into his terminal. Therefore, a person who is not listed in the address book still tries to connect to the number before the change. The problem is that it is very difficult to make a call connection, and the old generation is skeptical that it needs to be changed collectively by the policy of integrating existing telephone numbers used for several decades into the telephone numbers of the new identification number system. This may be a cause of poor cooperation in formulating policies in institutions.

In order to solve this problem, Korean Patent Office Publication Nos. 2005-55683 (published on June 13, 2005) and 2005-63194 (published on June 28, 2005) are forwarded to the changed phone number when a call is attempted. It is suggested to save the phone number after the change by guiding the change phone number through a short message during the call.

Since the existing phone number change guide service guides all those who attempt to make a call, it also guides to unnecessary spam, etc., thus consolidating the number due to administrative costs such as the server of the agency that guides it, and issues of personal information protection. It is a significant obstacle to policy.

As another prior art, in the method of guiding the change number, Korean Patent Office Publication No. 2005-34175 (published on April 14, 2005) has been proposed as a conditional conversion method.

This means that the server which relays the caller who attempted to call the phone number before the change checks whether the notification service for the change number is subscribed to the caller beforehand, and the caller is stored in the storage space of the receiving terminal. Check if the number is registered, and if it is registered, immediately dial the changed number, and if not, try to continue calling the original number again or call the changed number. After sending the guide message, it suggests how to make a call based on the choice.

However, this is difficult to implement in reality. First, the implementation of the process of "confirming whether the caller's number is registered in the storage space of the corresponding receiving terminal" is not materialized, and the inside of the receiving terminal receiving the call signal of the carrier is not specified. Randomly extracting and analyzing the data stored in the system is a matter of implementation and has a direct impact on personal privacy invasion. The subject determining the call connection is not the receiver but the sender. The situation is not resolved.

In addition, the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 2004-58143 (published on July 3, 2004) is a guide message to the changed number to the caller who attempts to call the number before the change of the called party subscribed to a separate change number guide service after changing the number In providing the service or call connection, when the service subscriber is selecting the caller ID prohibition service, the change number of the guide message service is not provided. In this case, the receiver is the message to be notified to the caller. By providing a service to selectively enter the call number in the caller ID display prohibition can also provide a service so that the called party can be selectively informed of the changed number to the caller.

However, this also does not solve the problem of the management cost of the service provider if the life-time guidance service is provided without a separate charge.

In addition, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2005-43156 (published on April 25, 2007) informs the called party's terminal of the change of the called party's terminal before informing the called party of the changed telephone number before guiding the changed phone number to the calling party's terminal. A new SMS change notification service system is provided to selectively change phone numbers with approval.

This solves the problem of personal information protection by requesting the sender to check the incoming call to the called party who has changed the number, but it cannot effectively block the spam number that is repeatedly transmitted as it is changed every time. The process of refusing approval can be repeated, and more fundamentally, there is a problem in that the carrier or the service provider according to the change number guide still cannot solve the management cost burden such as the server.

In connection with the above background technology, the service provider provides the change service for a limited time, and in some cases, if the service use fee is charged, the service provider charges it to the subscriber of the number change, thus converting the existing number customer to the new number. Problems such as low participation rate still remain unresolved, and in order to improve the government's recommendation, the telecommunications service provider can change the phone number by voice or text message for a period of time, or call the changed phone number without notice. Although the service is provided for the conversion, it is difficult to convince the target person of the change number because the countermeasure for the caller (customer) who connects to the old number is not established after a certain period of time, and the monetization of this may cause further decrease in participation rate. It can be.

In other words, the problem of avoiding the change of the number or avoiding the change due to the lack of the provision of a specific device and supplementary measures for such concerns is not fundamentally solved, and the change to the new number of the telephone number having the old identification number for the telecommunications company (transition) In the case of permanently guiding the voice or text message, it is not a desirable alternative because it increases the burden on the business entity due to the cost of using and managing the server for providing the guidance service.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, converts the burden of administrative costs into profitability to the agency providing the change number guidance service, and also collects a separate communication fee for service use to the change number applicant Its purpose is to make it possible to induce a number change.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which does not leak the personal information of the called party indiscriminately in response to an unspecified number of calls (especially spam).

In addition, the present invention is a service that provides a guide of the change number by the recipient's approval, each time an unspecified number (especially spam) attempts to connect to the first call, the receiving party performs the intention of rejection according to the approval procedure itself. This can be very inconvenient, and its purpose is to solve the fundamental countermeasures for change number guidance.

As described above, the present invention, if there is a change number lifetime guidance service wishes even after a certain free guidance period, register the change number related information in the change number guide database, when there is an attempt to connect to the number before the change, change number If the information is in the database, the message “No number” is displayed and the intention is to check the intention of receiving the change number guide service at the expense of the calling party. By eliminating the wasted elements, the lifetime guidance of the change number is guaranteed. Therefore, by eliminating the resistance against the number change, early implementation of the 010 number integration policy and the expansion of the next-generation terminal market are effective.

Selective Lifetime Change Number Service using a text message according to the present invention for achieving the above object and effect is a service system for guiding the number after the change, when the calling terminal attempts to connect to the number before the change. In the case of a number without a connection target number, if there is no number to be informed of the change number guide information in the change number guide database while notifying the ARS that there is no number, and if there is a change number guide information, the calling party bears a certain cost. It provides a service system and method for confirming whether the changed number will be received, and notifying the changed number of the connected person by SMS if there is a cost burden agreement.

That is, in the service system for informing the calling party to the calling party when the calling terminal attempts to connect to the number before the change, when the calling party does not have a number to be connected, it provides a guide to the ARS that the number is missing. Check if there is a change number guide information in the change number guide database, and if there is a change number guide information, check whether the changed party receives the changed number guide at a certain cost burden, and if there is a cost burden agreement, A service server for notifying the number by SMS; It will be configured to include.

The service server may further include: a registration server for registering a change number guide information and a database for storing information related to the change number guide by a mobile communication subscriber desiring a change number guide; It further comprises a.

Further, the present invention provides a service system for guiding a number after a change to a calling party when the calling terminal attempts to connect to a number before the change, and when the calling terminal attempts to connect to a number before changing, in particular, a changing number. Registering in the database by a subscriber wishing to be guided by the subscriber; Checking whether there is a change number guide information registered in a database when a caller attempts to call a number before the change; If there is a change number guide information registered in the database, checking whether the sender terminal is willing to receive the change number guide service at a certain cost; If you agree to bear a certain cost from the calling party and receive the change number guide, after the change by notifying the number in a text message and charging a certain cost to the calling party; is made.

In the present invention, the step of checking whether the intention to receive a change number guide service while paying a certain cost to the caller terminal, when there is a change number guide information registered in the database, checks whether the change number guide service is received at the caller side. Characterized in that.

In addition, as a result of checking whether the service is received, if the caller is willing to receive the change number guide service at a certain cost, the caller terminal is notified of the telephone number after the change.

In addition, the step of transmitting the number after the change to the calling party terminal is characterized in that the call is connected to the number immediately after the change by pressing the call button on the calling party by changing the text message call number to the number.

As described above, the present invention provides a service system for guiding a number after a change when the calling terminal attempts to connect to a number before the change, wherein the change number lifetime guide applicant registers relevant information in the change number guide information database, and before the change. When there is an attempt to connect to the number, the mobile terminal checks whether the change number guide service is received, and then sends the number to the calling terminal as a text message after the change.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a flow chart showing the overall configuration of the change number selective lifetime guidance service using a text message, the present invention is a change number guide subscription process in the incoming side for the change number guide service subscription is configured, for the change number If the information is not confirmed, the calling party attempts to call the number before the change (S100), the call process of the called party through the communication system of the repeater and the exchange is preceded (S200) and the service server of the carrier managing the called party number (300). (400) QUERY the information on the called number through the database (200) associated with the web (WEB) or WAP (WAP) server in charge of the subscription process (QUERY) and the change number for the caller's call number The information detection process that is in charge of the processing is executed according to whether there is a change and the number of change (including update) exists according to the detection result. To branch to the right results in a cost payment process, thereby leading to a payment step of the originator.

Thereafter, when the payment is normally processed, the result values are classified according to the communication method (S500) to provide the transmission through the text message (S600) or the call forwarding through the ARS (S700).

The present invention also changes the calling number so that the calling party can directly connect to the number after the change when the caller presses the call button when the telephone number is notified after the change through the transmission of the text message as described above (S600). Display step is characterized in that it is added.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process for subscribing to a change number guide according to the present invention, and a called party who is a subject of a change number in advance may receive the change information to subscribe to the change number at the caller.

To this end, a platform is provided by a web or waffle server 100 supported by a wired / wireless network device to a subscriber accessing a carrier's site through the Internet or a wireless mobile communication network. Required information input step (P101) for inputting an existing number (including an old identification number for which re-use is restricted), a change number, and personal information (P101), or if the input information item is missing or not confirmed (NO) If the re-entry request step (P102), if the re-entry is selected (YES) is branched to the required information input step (P101) again, if you do not wish to re-enter this change number guide subscription is not made and the process is terminated (P105). )

The present invention preferably comprises a table management for the existing number consisting of the old identification number in order to reduce the performance, the efficiency of the management can be included.

In addition, if the information input and verification is successfully performed in the required information input step (P101), the payment step (P103) proceeds, and the payment step is whether or not to receive a change number guide (continuous application) for a subscription member having a permanence. If the payment is not performed through the process of selecting whether to receive the change number notification (temporary application) having the last name, branch to the retry step (P104) to perform the reconfirmation procedure for payment, and do not retry. After the change number guide subscription is made to the temporary change number guide service and the corresponding information is stored in the database 200, the process ends (P105).

If the payment is made in the payment step (P103) including a branch from the retry step (P104) to the retry step (YES) to the payment step (P103) (YES) to continue applying the change number guided service to the change number guide service After the corresponding information is stored in the database 200, the process ends (P105).

The optional lifecycle guidance service for change numbers using text messages according to the present invention includes a continuously applying change number guide service, and the payment step can be omitted according to a policy of a carrier or a management company that provides and manages a change number service. In this case, all members (continuously applied members and temporary members) will be provided with lifelong guidance service.

However, such a classification step is necessary to deal with cases where a change number of a member wishing to join a member may not meet different management systems or number management standards among heterogeneous carriers, not a single carrier. If the change of the change number is not repeated once but accumulates repeatedly, if the first change number management company (including the telecommunications company) and the last change number management company (including the telecommunications company) differ from each other, the service is eventually managed. As a result, the last change number management company preempts the third party's control number (the first change number), which is based on the third party's change number transfer service provided to the customer under the control of the company. Solving the problem that can not be reused and eventually occupied by other companies through the payment step of the present invention Intended.

That is, in the preferred embodiment of the payment step of the present invention, in the information providing payment for the change number, the process of selecting the type of change number can be doubled, the number for which the change number guidance is desired. In the case of the old identification number, the lifelong guidance service will continue to be applied according to the old identification number (011, 016, 018, 019, etc.) or the newly applied integrated identification number (010). It will provide lifelong guidance services by application.

The identification number described in the present invention is a number included in a unique phone number assigned to a terminal, and is a number for identifying a communication company or a number for classifying a communication system. The number that cannot be included in the person or to another person, and the integrated identification number means the number that can be used.

Therefore, the telecommunications company has a unique number consisting of the integrated identification number in its own station number, after the user changes the communication company through the number transfer, if the change number service is used in the changed communication company, reuse of the previous station number is limited The problem is that other carriers manage it.

However, since the old identification number is no longer reused even in the above case, the preoccupation of the station number or the problem of judging the management subject does not occur.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an information detection process according to the present invention, wherein the change number lifetime guidance service is not limited to a case where the user necessarily attempts voice communication through a wireless mobile communication terminal, but not a text message (SMS or MMS). Even when the message is transmitted through), it is characterized in that the incoming number can be checked and the subscription of the change number guide service can be checked and processed.

Therefore, the communication method analysis step (P301) is preceded, which is not provided separately for the system for analysis, the SMS server 400 is governed by the text message according to the communication method according to the communication method, ARS in case of the call signal Server 300 is to be responsible for this can be prepared later.

After that, the process proceeds to a step (P302) of checking whether the called party number is an old identification number, and this step can be omitted as necessary in connection with the settlement step of the previously changed number guide subscription process (P100).

The called party number identified through this process checks whether there is registered change number guide information through a step (P303) of retrieving information on the change number through the database 200 associated with the change number guided subscription process (P100). If the step (P304) is performed and there is no registered guide information, the service is terminated (S800) (before ending the call signal connection, a status guide, such as a connection not available through ARS, may be provided through a text message). Status announcement text such as impossibility of delivery by the SMS server).

In addition, if there is registered guide information (YES) by performing the step of checking whether there is registered change number guide information (YES), the process is terminated after the extraction step (P305) of the guide information utilized in the payment process. (P306).

Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating a cost payment process according to the present invention, if there is information extracted in the previous step is a guide step through the charging text message through the SMS server when the caller is called by the text message according to the communication method If the caller is called by the call signal (P402) and the charge guidance step through the ARS (P403) is performed.

Thereafter, a fee change information consent step (P404), which is a request for consent to pay information for change information, is performed, and-in the preferred embodiment, if the user agrees in the guide step (P402) through a charge text message through an SMS server, an agreement code (eg, For example, if you send "#" + "4 digits of the end of your cell phone", the SMS server will consider it as an agreement, and in the case of the guiding charges through ARS (P403), it will be provided by voice to respond. Process-If the system does not agree with the paid change information guide within the time limit set (NO), the service is terminated (S800), and if agreed, the process proceeds to the payment step (P405).

Cost payment step (P405) may include the process of analyzing the callable status of the caller, the service is terminated when connected through a public phone or a regular phone or unverified communication means and the caller refuses to pay (S800), if the payment is made normally, the process is terminated (P406).

The payment of the cost may be considered to transfer the cost during the call forwarding and to charge the communication fee in the future.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an optional lifetime guide service system using a text message, and the present invention provides a web server in a subscription process stage that is in charge of membership including a wired / wireless mobile network to provide a service. Or a text message according to the communication form of the caller in the detection process stage for analyzing the registered information according to the request from the sender side, the database 200 containing the member registration information by the server, the swap server 100, In case of a message, an SMS server 400 is provided, and in case of a call signal call, an ARS server 300 is provided, respectively, and the payment server 500 of the payment process stage for charging a caller or a subscriber according to the processing result of the servers. It is characterized by that.

The present invention converts the burden of administrative costs to the agency providing the change number guidance service to profitability, and can also effectively block spam or miscalls without collecting a separate charge for service use to the change number candidate. Service can be implemented, and its future development potential and industrial availability is excellent.

As described above, the present invention suggests a direction to achieve through specific contents for implementation of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and it is possible to apply it to various next-generation wireless mobile communication fields, including various wired / wireless platforms and WiBro.
