The present invention relates to a method for delivering a Unified Messaging Service (UMS) message using a lifetime number.

In general, UMS refers to a solution in which various types of messages such as text, voice, fax, and e-mail can be stored in one logical mailbox and accessed through a telephone or a PC. Therefore, UMS integrates fax, e-mail, and telephone, which are frequently used in business, so you can check messages using various media such as phone, computer, and fax regardless of time and place. Can be raised to a high level.

As such, the UMS message delivery service delivers various types of messages such as voice, text, and facsimile to the desired number of service subscribers, but only attempts to deliver them to registered numbers. Since there is no attempt, the call completion rate is inevitably dropped, and the registrant (caller) must know the exact number according to the message type in advance. That is, a specific number such as a general phone number, a mobile phone number, a fax number is required according to a transmission method of voice, text, and fax. In addition, in the case of an emergency message, if the location of the target terminal of the delivery number is away from the called party or another person is talking to the terminal, the message may not be received.

Therefore, UMS message delivery method requires inquiring information such as general phone number, mobile phone number and fax number for the called party in consideration of delivery method, terminal location and real-time status, and attempts delivery only to registered number. Therefore, there is a problem that the call completion rate is greatly reduced because it does not attempt to deliver the message to other numbers when the message delivery fails.

However, the lifetime number service stores the information (ie, information such as a general phone number, a mobile phone number, and a fax number for a called party in consideration of a delivery method, a location and a real time state of a terminal) for a subscriber.

Therefore, lifetime number service is a service that allows each individual to receive a phone number that does not change for a lifetime, so that they can receive calls on the landline or mobile phone in the area they move to. It is divided into type (plus type), and type A automatically connects to the 1st and 2nd number automatically when the other party makes a call, and type B makes a guide menu (ex: For example, office 1, mobile 2, home 3, facsimile 4, and so on, select and make a call. Therefore, in the life-time number subscriber database (DB), the first and second numbers are registered in the case of type A, regardless of the transmission type, and in the case of the type B, they are divided into general telephone (home and office) numbers, fax numbers, and mobile phone numbers. It is registered.

However, the lifetime number service delivers the message depending on the terminal of the sender (fax message → fax message, voice message → voice message). Therefore, it is impossible for a forwarder to deliver a message by changing the type of terminal. In addition, the lifetime number service is an inbound (INBOUND) type of service provided by subscribers by direct phone calls. In case of type A, the service is limited to an incoming call-oriented voice message. It is necessary to select the subscriber's call number according to the message type. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a separate system to transfer text messages from type A, or to provide outgoing type outbound service for type A and type B, which are incoming type INBOUND type services. . In addition, the lifetime number service is operated in the No. 7 network based on the PSTN network in advance, it is necessary to implement a separate system to implement the message transmission provided by the existing UMS, such as text messages.

Therefore, in the current UMS message delivery method or lifetime number service method, solving the limitation problem according to the message delivery method and terminal location using lifetime number in delivering UMS message, and adding to the lifetime number service which is an intelligent network service. By providing UMS as a service, it is essential to develop a new market for UMS providers without increasing development costs and periods, and to generate revenue by increasing lifetime number subscribers.

The present invention has been proposed to meet the above requirements, using the lifetime number to deliver the UMS message solves the problem of the message delivery method and the limitation according to the location of the terminal, and also for the lifetime number service as an intelligent network service The purpose is to provide an integrated messaging service message delivery method using lifetime number to provide UMS as an additional service.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a Unified Messaging Service (UMS) message delivery method, comprising: receiving, by an Intelligent Service Service (ISN), a lifetime number and a message transmission type; The intelligent supplementary service device (ISN) querying a lifetime number subscriber database based on a lifetime number and analyzing the message transmission type; And the intelligent supplementary service device (ISN) extracts the first called number for the lifetime number based on the message transmission type and transmits the first called number to the UMS system so that the UMS system sends the UMS message to the first called number. It includes a step.

In addition, the present invention, if the message transmission failure, the intelligent additional service device (ISN) according to the retransmission request of the UMS system based on the message transmission type retransmission request, retransmission number, lifetime number according to the service number Extracting a second called number for and transmitting the second called number to the UMS system so that the UMS system retransmits the UMS message to the second called number.

In addition, the present invention provides a Unified Messaging Service (UMS) message delivery method, comprising: receiving a lifetime number and a UMS message by a UMS system; Transmitting, by the UMS system, the lifetime number and a transmission type of the UMS message to an intelligent supplementary service device (ISN); The intelligent additional service device (ISN) querying a lifetime number subscriber database based on the lifetime number and analyzing a message transmission type; Extracting, by the ISN, a first called number for the lifetime number based on the message transmission type and transmitting the extracted first called number to the UMS system; And transmitting, by the UMS system, the UMS message to the first called number.

In addition, when the message transmission failure, the UMS system requesting a delivery number (called number) for retransmission of the message to the intelligent additional service device (ISN); The intelligent additional service device (ISN) querying the lifetime number subscriber database based on the lifetime number and analyzing the message transmission type; Extracting, by the ISN, a second called number for the lifetime number according to the retransmission request, the number of retransmissions, and the lifetime number service type based on the message transmission type and transmitting the extracted second called number to the UMS system; And retransmitting the UMS message to the second called number by the UMS system.

The present invention associates a UMS with a lifetime number service, registers a plurality of numbers in one number, and delivers a UMS message to the corresponding number registered in the lifetime number according to a message type (voice, text, facsimile, etc.) If UMS message delivery fails, it tries to deliver UMS message to other number registered in lifetime number.

That is, in the present invention, when a UMS service subscriber enters a lifetime number without having to input a separate delivery number according to a message delivery method such as voice, text, and facsimile, the lifetime number information (lifetime number) Searched for other registered number information), extracts the number corresponding to the message delivery method, delivers the message, and extracts the first called number and fails to send the message if it fails when sending the message.

At this time, if the delivery number for delivering the message is a lifetime number, the UMS system queries the lifetime number subscriber DB and delivers the UMS message according to the UMS message delivery method, the physical location of the phone, and a real-time state (such as a call). Therefore, when the UMS provider accepts the lifetime number as the delivery number, in delivering the message to the lifetime number, the UMS provider requests the lifetime number subscriber DB inquiry and extracts and transmits the number according to the message delivery method. The message delivery success rate can be improved by extracting and re-delivering another number stored in the number subscriber DB.

The above-mentioned objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a message delivery system to which the present invention is applied and shows a UMS message delivery system associated with a lifetime number service.

As shown in FIG. 1, a UMS message delivery system associated with a lifetime number service to which the present invention is applied includes an integrated messaging service (UMS) system 10 capable of transmitting various UMS messages, and a UMS system 10. Intelligent additional service device (ISN) that can be accessed and retrieves the lifetime number subscriber database 30, extracts the number (called number) according to the message delivery method requested by the UMS system 10, and delivers it to the UMS system 10 (ISN). : Intelligent Service Node (20), a lifetime number subscriber database (30) storing lifetime number subscriber information, and a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 40 for transmitting voice and fax messages in association with the UMS system 10. And a mobile communication network 50 for transmitting voice and text messages in association with the UMS system 10.

In delivering the voice, text, and fax message requested by the subscriber, the UMS system 10 converts the actual forwarding number (called number) according to the message delivery method when the forwarding number is a lifetime number. Request, and transmits the UMS message to the called party number through the existing interworking network (PSNT 40, mobile communication network 50, etc.) according to the message type, such as voice, text, fax.

The intelligent supplementary service device (ISN) 20 is connected to the UMS system 10 and the external network, and queries the lifetime number subscriber database 30 through the internal network, to the message delivery method requested by the UMS system 10. Extract the number according to the UMS system 10 to pass. That is, the intelligent supplementary service device 20 authenticates the requested UMS system 10 when a lifetime number inquiry request comes from the UMS system 10, and authenticates the subscriber for the lifetime number in the lifetime number subscriber database 30 after the authentication operation. After inquiring, in transmitting the request result, the called party number is selected and transmitted to the UMS system 10 according to the message delivery method, whether or not the re-delivery request is requested, the number of re-delivery, and the lifetime number service. At this time, the intelligent additional service device 20 authenticates the UMS system 10 in order to secure the lifetime number subscriber information in providing the service to the various UMS systems 10.

Then, the UMS system 10 transmits the UMS message to the called number (primary called number) received from the intelligent supplementary service device 20, and requests the intelligent supplementary service device 20 to send another called number when the transmission fails. Resend UMS message to secondary called number). For example, if the voice message fails to deliver, that is, if the lifetime number service type is basic type (A type), if the message fails to be delivered to the primary called number (transmission failure number), it attempts to re-deliver to the secondary called number. In the case of the positive type (B type), if the message fails to be delivered to the office telephone number (primary called number), the mobile phone number (second called number) and mobile phone number (third called number) are attempted to be re-delivered. Here, the intelligent supplementary service device 20 receives one call according to the message delivery method, re-delivery request, re-delivery number, and lifetime number service type for each request (first request or re-transmission request) of the UMS system 10 as described above. Select the number ((Primary Calling Number or Secondary Calling Number, or Office Phone Number (Primary Calling Number)) or Home Phone Number (Second Calling Number) or Mobile Phone Number (Primary Calling Number)). 10) as well as at least one called number (first and second called number, or office telephone number (primary called number), depending on the message delivery method, re-delivery request, re-delivery frequency and lifetime number service type, The home telephone number (secondary called number) and the mobile phone number (third called number) may be selected and transmitted to the UMS system 10 at once.

The lifetime number subscriber database 30 is a database storing lifetime number subscriber information, and the intelligent supplementary service device 20 can access the lifetime number subscriber database 30 through an internal network.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for delivering a Unified Messaging Service (UMS) message using a lifetime number according to the present invention.

First, in delivering the voice, text, and fax message requested by the subscriber, the UMS system 10, if the number to be transmitted is a lifetime number (201), intelligent additional service to obtain the actual delivery number (called number) according to the message type. The called party requests the device 20 (202). In this case, along with the lifetime number, the message delivery type, retransmission status, and the number of retransmissions are transmitted.

Thereafter, the intelligent additional service device 20 authenticates the UMS system 10 requested for security of lifetime number subscriber information in providing this service to various UMS systems 10, and then uses SQL NET for a lifetime. The called party number is extracted from the number subscriber database 30 (203), and the extracted called number is transferred to the UMS system 10 (204).

Then, the UMS system 10 delivers the UMS message to the received destination number and receives the delivery result.

At this time, if delivery fails, the delivery message type is searched, and if the delivery message type is a text message, the delivery result is stored and the delivery is terminated. On the other hand, when the delivery message type is a voice or fax message, the intelligent supplementary service device 20 requests a delivery number (called number) for message re-delivery. At this time, the lifetime number and the type of the delivery message, whether or not re-delivery request and the number of re-delivery is transmitted. Subsequently, when the incoming number is received as a response result from the intelligent supplementary service device 20, the forwarded number is re-delivered to the corresponding incoming number (205). If not, the latest delivery result is stored and the delivery of the lifetime number is terminated.

First, the intelligent supplementary service device 20 queries the lifetime number subscriber database 30 according to the delivery number request of the UMS system 10 (301), and if the lifetime number type is basic type (type A), voice message and fax. In the case of a message, it retrieves whether the request is re-delivered and the number of re-deliverys. Then, the first called number and the second called number are selected according to whether the request for re-delivery and the number of re-delivery (302,304). Meanwhile, in the case of a text message, the mobile phone number of the first and second called numbers is searched and transmitted to the UMS system 10 (303). At this time, if the number of requests is exceeded or if the delivery message type is a text message or there is no mobile phone number, or in the case of the facsimile, if the called number is a mobile phone number, a message indicating that the called number was not found is transmitted to the UMS system 10.

On the other hand, if the type of lifetime number is a positive type (B type) (301), in the case of voice messages and fax messages, the forwarding number is searched in the order of office phone number, home phone number, mobile phone number (excluding fax), and then forwarded again. According to the request and the number of re-delivery to the UMS system 10 (305,307). However, in the case of a text message, the mobile phone number is retrieved and transmitted to the UMS system 10 (306). At this time, in the plus type like the basic type, when the number of requests is exceeded or when the forwarding message type is a text message, there is no mobile phone number, or in the case of the facsimile, when the called number is a mobile phone number, the message was not found. ).

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.).

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

As described above, the present invention enables a subscriber to deliver various types of messages to a single number, thereby delivering a message by using a lifetime number in a UMS system that delivers various messages. Even if the terminal to be physically separated from the caller or on the phone is able to be re-delivered to another number, the UMS provider can increase profits by improving the success rate of message delivery, and the UMS user delivers important messages. By increasing the likelihood, there is an effect that can increase the utilization rate and service satisfaction.

In addition, the present invention reduces the probability of not receiving various types of important messages coming to the lifetime number subscribers, and by providing a UMS as a supplementary service for lifetime number from the lifetime number service provider, there is no separate development cost and period It is possible to create new markets for UMS subscribers and increase profits by increasing the number of lifetime subscribers.
