In the present invention, the generation unit 10 can only send and receive mail.

In the present invention, only mail means home mail transmitted between generations housed in only servers 20 managed by the home mail server 40.

In the present invention, the generation unit 10 can send and receive personal mail and web mail after each generation user through the account registration process, the personal mail is a specific user (individual) of each generation unit specific A home mail that can be sent to a user using a personal home mail account. Web mail is a particular user (individual) of each generation who sends home mail to a web mail account or checks web mail received from a web mail account with a household. I mean home mail.

First, a mail service method using a generation unit will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4.

When the user of the generation unit 10 selects the home mail function on the initial screen, the generation unit 10 outputs the home mail screen (see FIG. 5) (S2). As shown in FIG. 5, the home mail screen includes an integrated mail tab 61, a personal mail tab 62, a relationship tab 63, and an account registration tab 64.

In the present invention, the integrated mail is a mail transmitted and received based on the first generation, and is managed as a generation account. The household account is automatically generated and managed for all households. The household account code can be created using a construction company, a region, a town, a house, a specific identifier, and the domain is the domain of the homemail server 40 (@homemail). .com).

In the home mail screen, the integrated mail tab 61 may be set as a default. In this case, new mail received in the household account is displayed on the mail confirmation window 66 (S4). The home mail server 40 inquires the mails received by the generational mail account from the mail DB 48 and transmits the inquired mail only to the generation device 10 through the server 20.

When "Check Mail" 68 is selected from the Home Mail screen from the Home 10 user, the Generator 10 displays the details of the specific mail selected in the Mail Confirmation Window 66 in the Mail Confirmation Window 66. Display. At this time, if the multimedia file attached to the selected mail is selected, the multimedia file is received from the multimedia file address linked to the mail, and is output. In this case, the multimedia file may be stored in a file storage unit of a specific server or mail DB 48 of a home mail server.

On the other hand, if "Send mail" 67 is selected on the home mail screen from the user of the generation device 10 (Yes in S6), the generation unit 10 outputs the home mail creation screen (see FIG. 6) (S8). As shown in FIG. 6, the home mail creation screen includes an address input window 71 for inputting a recipient and a text input window 73 for inputting content to be sent, and selecting a video / audio attachment function. &Quot; Attachment of video / audio " button 74, " send " button 75 for commanding mail transmission, and " cancel " button 76 for canceling mail creation. In some cases, a text input window (not shown) is output to a predetermined portion of the screen of the generator 10 for text input to the address input window 71 and the text input window 73, and is input through the text input window. The text may be configured to be input through a combination of characters.

The address input window 71 may selectively input the recipient's name or address. When the recipient's name is input, it is preferable that the registered person's name is input in advance through "Membership." When the address of the person is input, as shown in FIG. 7, the address of the recipient may be input through a plurality of pull-down menus. 7 is an exemplary view of the address input screen, the construction company, brand name, state / province, city / district / group. You can select the Dong / Eup / Myeon, Dong, and Ho information from the pull-down menu. When the server 20 only selects at least one condition for the pull-down menu, the server 20 transmits the input condition to the home mail server 40 to search for an address corresponding to the input condition transmitted from the home mail server 40. Receive the result. Only the server 20 transmits the received address search result to the generation unit 10 so that it is displayed on the address query result window 7a of the address input screen.

When the address input of the recipient is completed through the above-described process (S10), the generation unit 10 determines whether the "image / audio attachment" 74 is selected on the home mail creation screen (see FIG. 6) (S12). ).

When the selection of the "video / audio attachment" 74 is confirmed in step S12 (YES in S12), the generation unit 10 outputs the video / audio attachment screen (see FIG. 8) (S14). As shown in Fig. 8, the video / audio attachment screen includes a " record video " button 91 for commanding recording of a video, " voice recording " button 92 for commanding audio recording, and a video / audio attachment. "Cancel" button (93) for instructing to cancel, "Attach" button (94) for instructing to attach a multimedia file corresponding to the recorded video or recorded voice to the mail, to the homemail screen. A "mail home" button 95 for commanding a return, and a "preview" button 97 for commanding a preview of the recorded video or the recorded voice.

When the video recording unit 91 is selected, the generation unit 10 operates a camera and a microphone provided to record a video to be transmitted by the user of the generation unit, and when the voice recording 92 is selected, the microphone is operated to operate the provided microphone. Record the voice you want to send.

The generation unit 10 determines whether "Cancel" is selected if the moving picture recording or the audio recording is not completed (No in S16) (S17). If "Cancel" is selected (Yes in S17), the flow proceeds to step S12.

On the other hand, if the selection of "Cancel" is not confirmed at step S17 (No at S17), it is determined whether "mail home" is selected (S18), and if "mail home" is selected (Yes at S18), the process proceeds to step S4. If "mail home" is not selected (No in S18), the flow advances to step S16.

On the other hand, the generation unit 10 determines whether "attach" is selected when moving picture recording or audio recording is completed (Yes in S16) (S19). If "attach" is not selected in step S19 (No in S19), the selection of "attach" is continuously determined. However, if " Cancel " is selected while waiting for the selection of " attach ", the process proceeds to step S17 and is performed if " mailhome " is selected.

If "attach" is selected in step S19 (YES in S19), it is determined whether "mail transfer" is selected (S20). If "mail transmission" is not selected in step S20 (No in S20), the selection of "mail transmission" is continuously determined. However, if " Cancel " is selected while waiting for the selection of " attach ", the process proceeds to step S17 and is performed if " mailhome " is selected.

If the selection of "send mail" is confirmed in step S20 (Yes in S20), the generation unit 10 transmits the home mail (integrated mail) based on the HMTP (S22).

The home mail transmitted from the generation unit 10 includes generation information, a receiving code, a receiving code, and text contents. When a multimedia file is attached to the home mail, multimedia is transmitted depending on the home mail.

Meanwhile, the validation module 24 of the server 20 receiving the home mail adds the sender's generation information / only information to the home mail and checks whether the address of the multimedia file dependent on the home mail is appropriate. To judge. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the policy is determined to store the multimedia file in only the server where the transmission generation unit is accommodated, the validity checking module 24 stores the multimedia file in the file storage 25 and stores the multimedia file in the address where the multimedia file is stored. A corresponding URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is linked to the home mail and transmitted to the home mail server 40.

The home mail server 40 stores the home mail to which the URL is linked in the mail DB 48, and uses the user information (generation information) stored in the user information DB 45 to receive the generation message 10_1 of the integrated mail. Informs that the new mail has arrived only to the server 20_1. Only the server 20_1 notifies the destination generation unit 10_1 that the new mail has arrived, and the destination generation unit 10_1 indicates that the new mail has arrived on the screen. At this time, the validity checking module 44 of the home mail server 40 determines whether the sender is valid by inquiring the sender information of the home mail from the user information DB 45, and the address of the multimedia file attached to the home mail is determined. The home mail is stored in the mail DB 48 only when it is determined to be suitable.

The arrival notification of the new mail is preferably performed at the time when the home mail is received. If the detailed confirmation of the new mail is not requested within a predetermined time, the arrival notification of the new mail may be canceled. In this case, at the time when the user selects the home mail function, it can be confirmed through the mail confirmation window 66 of the home mail screen (see FIG. 5).

On the other hand, when the arrival notification of the new mail is performed as described above, if a detailed confirmation is requested from the user, the generation unit displays the contents of the mail on the screen, and when the attachment corresponding to the multimedia file is selected, the home page is linked to the home mail. The multimedia file is received from the URL of the multimedia file and displayed on the screen.

As a result, the user of the generation unit 10_1 can easily check the home mail corresponding to the integrated mail. The integrated mail is a home mail to which each generation device is transmitted as a sender and a recipient, and is used separately from the personal mail which is a home mail for a specific person of the generation user.

As described above, each generation has a mail account for receiving the integrated mail. Therefore, even if an external web terminal user uses a mail account of each generation, the integrated mail can be transmitted to each generation using an external web terminal.

The mail transmitted from the external web terminal is SMTP-based web mail, and the web mail is received by the mail server 49 provided in the home mail server 40 and transferred to the conversion server 46.

The conversion server 46 converts the web mail into the home mail form of the HMTP and transmits it to the validation module 44. The validation module 44 extracts the multimedia file from the converted mail and stores the mail DB 48. ) And link the URL to the converted mail. Further, the mail server 49 of the home mail server 40 acquires the address information of the householder from the user information DB 45 using the mail account of the householder, and then based on the acquired householder's address information. The new server is notified of the arrival of a new mail to the server where the generation unit corresponding to the destination is received. Subsequently, only the server notifies the generation of the new mail to the household, so that the householder user using the home mail can check the integrated mail using the household.

On the other hand, in order to use the personal mail 62 or the relationship 63 from the home mail screen, account registration must be performed.

Account registration can be registered directly through the household, or via the web.

First, an account registration process using a generation device applied to a mail service method using a generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 9.

When the account registration 64 is selected on the home mail screen (see FIG. 5), the generation unit 10 outputs an account registration screen (FIG. 10) and receives user information (S30). As shown in FIG. 10, the item corresponding to the user information received through the account registration screen may be a name, an e-mail address, a password, a mobile phone number, a birthday, and the like.

After the above user information is input, when the registration button 10a is selected, the generation unit 10 only transmits an account registration message to the server 20. The generation unit 10 includes the generation information in the user information received in step S30 in the account registration message and transmits the information to the server 20 only.

Only the server 20 transmits the account registration message transmitted through the communication module 21 to the home mail server 40 to request user authentication to the home mail server 40. At this time, only the server 20 adds household information-copper, call information-and only information-only classification code (site code) to the account registration message received through the communication module 21, the home mail server 40 Transfer to (S32).

The home mail server 40 inquires only the classification code and the title information from the user information DB 45 to confirm whether the account registration message has been sent from a valid household. As a result of the check, if only the classification code and the title information do not exist in the user information DB 45 (No in S34), the user is authenticated to the householder 10 that has requested an account registration by sending an error message to the server 20 only. Notify that this failed.

On the other hand, if only the classification code and the title information in the user information DB (45) (Yes in S34) registration module 22 is an item corresponding to the user information included in the account registration message via the validation module 24 Check their suitability (S38).

When it is checked in step S38 that suitability of the items corresponding to the user information is confirmed, the registration module 22 requests the home mail server 40 to store user information through the communication module 21. The validity checking module 44 of the home mail server 40 stores the user information received through the communication module 41 in the user information DB 45 (S40).

In addition, the validation module 44 of the home mail server 40 transmits an account registration completion message to the server 20 only through the communication module 41, and only the server 20 that receives the account registration completion message. The householder 10 notifies the completion of the subscription approval (S42). Thus, account registration and approval of the household unit 10 is completed.

Next, the account registration process using the web applied to the mail service method using the generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11.

When an account registration is requested from the web terminal 50 connected to the web server 47 through the communication network 30, the web server 47 outputs an account registration page (not shown) to the web terminal 50. In addition to the user information item shown in FIG. 10, the account registration page is preferably provided with items that can be entered by referring to the call information and the classification code (S50).

When registration is selected in the account registration page, the web terminal 50 transmits an account registration message to the web server 47 of the home mail server 40. The web server 47 transmits the account registration message to the validation module 44, and the validation module 44 inquires only the classification code and the title information from the user information DB 45 so that the account registration message is valid. Confirm the user authorization of (S52). As a result of the check, if only the classification code and the title information do not exist in the user information DB 45 (No in S52), the web server 47 transmits an error message to the web terminal 50 to notify that user authentication has failed. do.

On the other hand, if only the classification code and the title information exists in the user information DB 45 (Yes in S34), the control module 42 the item corresponding to the user information included in the account registration message via the validation module 24 Check their accuracy (S58).

As a result of checking in step S58, when the accuracy of the items corresponding to the user information is confirmed, the validity checking module 44 stores the user information in the user information DB 45 (S60).

Subsequently, the validity checking module 44 notifies the web terminal 50 of the account registration completion through the web server 47 and transmits a user addition event message to the communication module 41. The user addition event message is transmitted to the only server in which the generation unit corresponding to the user information is accommodated through the communication module 41, and the only server transmits the user addition event message to the generation unit to add an account registration to the generation unit. Notify (S64).

The generation unit receiving the user addition event message may indicate that the user registration is requested through the screen, and it is preferable to inform that the account registration is completed only when the account registration is confirmed. On the screen of the household, the user has requested "XXX" to register as your householder user over the Internet on "XXXX XX XX: XX". If you allow account registration, click the "OK" button. Please press. " Messages can be printed.

In this state, if the "confirmation" button is selected to allow account registration from the householder (Yes in S66), the householder sends a user addition confirmation message, and the user addition confirmation message is sent home only through the server 20. It is sent to the validation module 44 of the mail server 40. The validity checking module 44 stores the user addition confirmation completion state in the user information DB 45 and simultaneously notifies the subscriber approval completion to the generation unit through the server 20 (S68). The completion of the subscriber approval may be notified to the web terminal 50, and the subscriber approval status may be informed through the "my page" of the generation user connected through the web terminal 50. FIG. Thus, account registration and approval for the specific user of the generation unit 10 is completed. In the embodiment of the present invention, each generation unit 10 may store the account information of the user when the account registration and approval is completed through the generation unit or the web terminal, to check the account registration status through the generation unit when the generation unit user requests It is desirable to.

Meanwhile, when the account registration is completed through the process described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 11, the user of the generation unit 10 may use "personal mail" and set up "relationship".

In the embodiment of the present invention, "connecting" refers to a function that allows a generational user to register his or her friend or relative in advance and selectively send home mail to a registration target.

The user of the householder 10 may select the "Make a Relationship" tab 63 configured on the home mail screen (see FIG. 5) to establish a relationship with a specific object within the jar.

Next, a relationship making process applied to the mail service method using the generation unit will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12.

When the "join relationship" 63 is selected in the home mail screen shown in FIG. 5, the generation unit 10 outputs a main window of relationship (see FIG. 13) (S80). In the main screen, items 13a and 13b for entering an account and a password are configured. "Account" refers to generational users who have completed account registration, and the account selection object 13a is configured in a pull-down button manner as shown in FIG. 13 to finish account registration "Daddy", "Mom", and " You can select one of "Sung Chun Hyang", and the password can be configured to enter through a text input window.

When the login button 13c is input, the generation unit 10 performs an account authentication through the home mail server 40 to determine whether the selected account and the input password are the same as those input when registering the account. As a result of the above execution, if the account authentication fails (No in S82), the notification of the account authentication failed through the signing main screen.

On the other hand, if the account authentication is successful as a result of performing the account authentication (Yes in S82), a friend search screen is output (FIG. 14) and a friend search condition is input (S84). As illustrated in FIG. 14, a friend search screen includes items for inputting a name, ID, birthday, phone number, address, gender, etc., so that friends can be searched using each item, and at least one item is provided. It must be entered. When a plurality of items are input, common elements of the input items may be searched.

For example, if the user of the generation 10 enters "Imong Dragon" and selects search 14a, the generation 10 simply requests the server 20 to search for a friend, and only the server 20 A friend search request corresponding to a condition input to the home mail server 40 is requested (S84). The home mail server 40 retrieves the users corresponding to the above conditions from the user information DB 45 and then transmits the searched list to the server 20 only. Only the server 20 transfers the searched list to the generation unit 10. The generation unit 10 receiving the searched list outputs the searched list to the search result window 14b. In the embodiment of the present invention, as a search result, the address of the user-Lee Mong Ryong-is displayed, the birth year, and the telephone number, but it can be added or removed according to the privacy policy.

Subsequently, when a specific object 14c is selected on the friend search screen, the generation unit 10 outputs a friend invitation screen (see FIG. 15) (S86). As shown in FIG. 15, a friend invitation screen includes a window 15a in which information of a specific target selected in step S86 is displayed and a message input window 15b for inputting a message for inputting a message to be displayed in a friend invitation mail. This is made up.

When the transfer 15c is selected in the friend search screen, the generation unit 10 simply sends a friend request message (Request_friendship) to the server 20 to request a relationship (S88). The friend request message stores a name, a requested ID, an email account, a phone number, a birthday, a gender, a family name, a classification, a greeting, a requested ID, and the like.

The server 20 only checks the validity of the received friend request message, and then transmits the friend request message whose validity is confirmed to the communication module 21 and transmits the message to the home mail server 40. The home mail server 40 stores the friend request information included in the friend request message in the user information DB 45 and simultaneously transmits the friend request message to the server where the generation device that has been requested to register a friend is accommodated. Accordingly, the server merely transmits the friend request message to the householder who has been requested to register a friend, and the householder confirms the reception of the friend request message and outputs a message indicating that the association is requested on the screen of the householder. do. In this case, a message may be displayed on the screen of the generation unit, "a friend registration has been requested from Sung Chun Hyang. Please select the" OK "button to accept friend registration."

On the other hand, if the subject who has been requested to register a friend accepts a relationship through a household unit (Yes in S92), the household unit merely transmits a friend acceptance message to the server, and the friend acceptance message is merely a communication module 21 of the server 20. Is transmitted to the communication module 41 of the home mail server 40. The communication module 21 transmits the friend acceptance message to the validity checking module 44 of the home mail server 40 and stores the friend registration completion state in the user information DB 45.

In addition, the validity checking module 44 only sends the friend accept message to the communication module 21 of the server 20, and the server 20 only sends the friend accept message to the generator. When the householder receives the friend acceptance message, the householder notifies that the connection is successful through the screen (S94).

If the relationship is successful through the above-described process, the user of the generation unit 10 may manage friends who have a relationship with themselves as a group. When group registration is requested through a group registration screen (not shown) provided from the generation unit 10, the generation unit 10 transmits the group information only to the home mail server 40 through the server 20. Preferably, the group name and ID of each group member are stored as the group information. The home mail server 40 manages grouping of friends registered in the user information DB 40 using the group information.

Although friend registration is described through the above process, relative registration is also possible through a process similar to friend registration.

The relative registration process applied to the embodiment of the present invention is similar to the relationship making process described with reference to FIG. However, in the case of a relative registration, when a user of a householder who is requested to form a relative accepts a relative, a relative is formed for all users registered in the household that are requested to form a relative-a family member.

Thus, according to the relationship diagram (refer to FIG. 16) shown from the user information stored in the user information DB 45 of the home mail server 40, the member ① of the household A is requested to make a relative to the member B of the household B. If he accepted this, not only the relatives between ① and ㉡, ㉢, ㉣, and 수행 are performed, but also ②, ③, ④, and ⑤, members of household A, all members of household B, ㉡, ㉢, ㉣ Relatives with family members are carried out.

According to the policy, only the member ① requesting relatives to generation B of household B may perform relatives with all members of household B, ㉡, ㉢, ㉣, ㉤ according to the policy. Relatives can be designed for both members and members of Generation B.

If you want to make a relationship with the members of a certain generation, you can conveniently perform the relationship because the members of the two generations do not have a relationship. Can provide convenience.

On the other hand, when the user who completes the account registration 64 on the home mail screen (see FIG. 5) selects the personal mail 62 on the home mail screen, the generation unit 10 displays the personal mail authentication screen (see FIG. 17). Output As shown in FIG. 17, the personal mail authentication screen is a screen for inputting a user account and password, and when the login 17a is selected in the personal mail confirmation screen, the generation unit 10 includes the account and password. Only the authentication request message is sent to the server 20, and the server 20 only sends the authentication request message to the home mail server 40. The authentication module 43 of the home mail server 40 inquires the account and password in the user information DB 45 to perform user authentication. If the user authentication is successful, the mail module 48 inquires the user's mail. The mail data of the inquired mail is transmitted only to the server 20. In this case, the inquired mail may correspond to a web mail received to an external email address registered when the user registers an account, a mail sent to the user as a personal mail among only mails, and a request to establish a relationship or a request to establish a relative. .

Only the server 20 transmits the received mail data to the generation unit 10, and the generation unit 10 processes the mail data to display brief mail contents on the personal mail confirmation screen (see Fig. 18).

As shown in Fig. 18, the mail confirmation window 18a displays a brief content of the received personal mail. When the mail confirmation 18b is requested while a specific mail is selected from the displayed mails, the details of the selected mail are displayed. The mail confirmation window 18a is displayed. In this case, when the multimedia file is attached to the mail, the multimedia file is received using the link information included in the mail data and output on the generation unit 10.

On the other hand, when the send mail 18c is selected in the personal mail confirmation screen shown in FIG. 18, the generation unit 10 creates a personal mail creation screen (see FIG. 19). As shown in Fig. 19, the personal mail creation screen includes an item 19a for receiving a recipient, a text input window 19b for inputting content to be sent, a video / audio attachment button 19c, and a send button 19d. ), A cancel button 19e is configured. In the item 19a for receiving a recipient, a related party and an e-mail address may be input. You can enter the e-mail address assigned by the home mail server-integrated mail address or personal mail address-or enter an external web mail account.

When the video / audio attachment 19c is selected on the personal mail creation screen, a multimedia file may be attached to the personal mail. The video / audio attachment process is the same as the video / audio attachment process in the integrated mail described with reference to FIG. 8. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the transmission 19d is selected on the personal mail creation screen, the mail and the multimedia file dependent on the mail are only transmitted to the server 20. Only after validating module 24 of the server 20 confirms that the mail and the multimedia file is in the proper form, and stores the multimedia file in the file storage unit 29 and the URL corresponding to the storage address of the multimedia file Include in the mail. Further, the validity checking module 24 adds the generation information of the mail sender and only the information in addition to the mail, and then transmits the mail data to the home mail server 40 through the communication module 21. The validity checking module 44 of the home mail server 40 determines whether the user who sent the mail data received through the communication module 41 is an authenticated user and the mail format is suitable, and the URL of the multimedia file is linked. If yes, determine if the address is correct. Further, the user information DB 45 is queried to determine whether the mail recipient is only a mail object, and if the mail destination is only a mail object, the call recipient information and only the information of the mail receiver is added to the mail and transmitted to the mail server 49. do.

The mail server 49 only transmits the home mail to the corresponding server using only the information of the mail recipient, and the complex server uses the password information included in the mail to generate the household to which the mail recipient is registered. The home mail is transmitted to the device 10.

The generation unit 10 that has received the mail notifies the reception status of the mail on the screen, and outputs the details of the mail when the detailed view of the mail is selected from the generation unit 10. In addition, if a media file is attached to the mail, and the mail receiver requests confirmation of the attached multimedia file, the generation unit 10 receives the multimedia file using a URL included in the mail data and transmits the multimedia file through a screen and a speaker. Playback output.

If the mail recipient is an account registered user, a log-in process is required to confirm the mail from the notification of the reception status of the mail displayed on the generation unit 10.
