The following examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

1 is a schematic diagram showing an electronic document distribution system to which the present invention can be applied.

The electronic document distribution system for the distribution of public standard electronic documents, as shown in FIG. 1, establishes an electronic document distribution hub 20 that can be managed in a country, as well as a distribution messaging server in each company, a public institution, or a message distribution center. (10) to distribute electronic documents through a distribution client application (30) between companies, institutions and individuals.

According to the recently revised Electronic Document and Electronic Commerce Basic Law, a certified electronic address is information consisting of letters and numbers to identify a person who sends or receives an electronic document. It is an officially registered address. It consists of "User Account (ID) + Separator (#) + Company / Personal Unique Name. Attributes.kr". As such, the mailing system based on the authorized electronic address is called a shop mail (# -mail) because it uses "#" instead of the conventional "@" as a separator, and thus "@" as a separator as in the prior art. The system using is called e-mail.

Certified Electronic Address System User Account (ID) + Separator (#) + Company / Personal Unique Name. Example 1 jin # docgojin.pe.kr Example 2 plan # ABC.com Example 3 e-docu # nipa.or.kr

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic document distribution hub 20 includes an address directory server 21, a distribution relay server 22, an electronic document form register 23, a distribution certificate issuing server 24, and each company. A corporate user is connected to the distribution messaging server 10 of the distribution system, and a user of an individual or a small business is connected to the distribution messaging server 10 of the message distribution center to distribute an electronic document according to a #mail addressing system based on P2P communication. It is supposed to be.

The address directory server 21 is a server that registers and manages a public electronic address for a transceiving entity and a lower user account participating in distribution, and provides physical addresses and security information for recipients required for electronic document distribution.

The distribution messaging system 22 provides a message sending / receiving function for distributing electronic documents based on a distribution messaging server standard, and physically issues and manages a plurality of user accounts for lower users. Each user account will have one public electronic address.

The distribution client application 30 is an application that provides a UI for sending and receiving documents, viewing and managing received documents for users participating in document distribution, and cannot independently transmit and receive wireless communication. Should be linked.

The electronic document relay server 22 is a system that attempts to transmit a document on behalf of the sender when the sender attempts to distribute the document to the receiver. The electronic document relay server 22 is a third authority that can prove the sender's transmission effort. When the transmission agent is requested to prove the effort, the transmission certificate is issued to the sender.

The standard electronic form register 23 registers, manages, downloads, downloads, and forms document forms for use by user applications such as distribution client applications while registering and managing standard document forms to assist users in creating electronic documents more easily. This system supports deletion and so on.

The distribution certificate issuing server 24 receives and stores the contents of the distribution fact (distribution confirmation) through the relay system in order to secure the legal basis for the distribution of electronic documents between companies, institutions, and individuals. When issuing a certificate.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a first example of an electronic document distribution procedure using a shop mail system, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a second example of an electronic document distribution procedure using a shop mail system.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the sender requests #mail transmission to the sender system, the sender system requests physical address information from the address directory server 21, and accordingly, the address directory server 21 returns the physical address. . The sender system then accesses the receiver system with the obtained physical address information and requests ID validity and security information, and the receiver system delivers the public key for ID validity and encryption.

The sender system encrypts the document with the public key and sends the message to the receiver system. The receiver verifies the message and accordingly sends an acknowledgment to the sender system. The sender system requests the distribution certificate issuing server to store the receipt, and the distribution certificate issuing server 24 returns a storage completion response.

Then, as an optional procedure, when the receiver receives and reads the document, a reading confirmation is generated in the receiver system and transmitted to the sender system, and the sender system requests the distribution certificate issuing server 24 to store the reading confirmation and the distribution certificate issuing server ( 24) returns the archive complete response. At this time, if the sender system is not a relay, it requests the issuing server to store the receipt or reading confirmation via the relay.

On the other hand, if the distribution messaging server (transmission) fails to transmit the message, as shown in FIG. 3, the distribution relay server 22 requests the document transmission to receive the transmission certificate, and the distribution relay server 22 receives the distribution messaging. After sending the document to the server (receiving), deliver the fishery certificate.

4 is a schematic diagram showing an e-mail client daemon system having a shop mail transmission function according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the email client daemon system 100 having a shop mail transmission function includes a shop mail client 150 and a shop mail client 150 for transmitting an electronic document to an authorized electronic address. E-mail client 140 for connecting e-mail to the e-mail messaging server 110, e-mail client 140 for transmitting electronic documents in a conventional e-mail system, and e-mail client 140. Converted e-mail to shop mail and transmitted through shop mail messaging server 110 or shop mail delivered from shop mail messaging server 110 to e-mail to convert and send to e-mail client 140. The mail extension client daemon 130 or the e-mail distribution hub or other shop mail messaging server is connected to the shop mail client daemon 120 or the mail client. It consists of a shop-mail messaging server 110 to service shop mail daemon in the tree 130. The

Referring to FIG. 4, the mail extension client daemon 130 includes an SMTP module 131, a POP3 module 132, an IMAP4 module 133, a # mail-email conversion module 134, and a read confirmation module 135. ), The distribution certificate issuance module 136 is configured to enable the transmission and reception of the received # mail in the existing Outlook program or e-mail client.

The SMTP module 131 processes a standard communication protocol used when sending an e-mail from the Internet. The standard of the protocol related to SMTP is defined in the STD and the RFC. SMTP is a server-to-server protocol, and many other protocols are used to connect messages. SMTP is a communication protocol mainly used for sending e-mails. The commands to be used are only a few items, such as specifying a sender, addressing, and sending an e-mail body.

The POP3 module 132 handles a protocol that allows a mail client to download mail to a user's own PC. Currently, most email servers use POP3. The user periodically checks his or her mail inbox on the server and downloads it to the client if there is any mail received. The protocols for receiving mail include POP 3 and Internet message access protocol (IMAP) 4, which is IMAP 4 The difference is that POP 3 imports and manages mail from a mail server on your computer, as opposed to directly accessing and managing mail.

The IMAP4 module 133 handles communication protocols for Internet mail provided by Netscape Communications Inc. and Microsoft Inc. in a world wide web browser and a set. The IMAP4 module 133 is more convenient to use in a mobile environment such as remote access than POP3. One person can conveniently use multiple PCs, manage mailboxes centrally, and use groupware.

The # -mail-e-mail conversion module 134 is a module for converting messages in a # -mail format and a message in an e-mail format, and the reading confirmation module 135 is a reading confirmation letter when an e-mail client checks mail. The module for transmitting the distribution certificate issuance request module 136 is a module required for issuing a distribution certificate after transmitting and receiving a message.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for transmitting and receiving shop mail through an e-mail client according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the mail client 140 requests the mail extension client daemon 130 to send a mail, the mail conversion module 134 of the mail extension client daemon converts the mail format into a shop mail format. (S101, S102).

The shop mail messaging server 110A transmits shop mail to the counter shop mail messaging server 110B according to the converted shop mail format, and the counter shop mail messaging server 110B responds to the shop mail acknowledgment message upon receiving the mail. (S103 to S106).

When the shop mail acknowledgment message is received from the counterpart shop mail messaging server 110B, the shop mail messaging server 110A forwards the shop mail acknowledgment to the e-mail extension client so that the mail client can receive the mail e-mail acknowledgment message (S107, S108).

On the other hand, when the shop mail is received from the counter shop mail messaging server 110B, the shop mail messaging server 110A delivers the shop mail to the e-mail extension client daemon 130, and the mail conversion module of the e-mail extension client daemon. 134 converts the shop mail into an e-mail format to be received by the e-mail client 140 (S111 to S115).

As described above, in the present invention, an e-mail client needs a sender address, a recipient address, a subject, and a body in a # -mail messaging system in order to send and receive # -mails. And the # -email address system consists of account #domain, but e-mail consists of account @ domain. Therefore, when sending a delimiter of sender / receiver address, convert "@" to "#" and when receiving "#" Convert it to "@". When the mail is sent, the send request is sent to the e-mail extension client daemon using the SMTP protocol. The mail is converted into a message for sending the # -mail through the # -mail-e-mail conversion module. # Unspecified values for sending mail are set to the server's default values.

The acknowledgment for the transmitted message is a message received in the form of a received message, and if the user wants to set the value as a user request, as shown in FIG. Mail reception is done through POP3 and IMAP4 interface. The contents of #mail are inserted with necessary values such as link information as necessary.

6 is a flow chart illustrating a procedure for confirming reading with an e-mail client daemon system having a shop mail transmission function according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the e-mail converted to the e-mail is read through the e-mail client, the e-mail extension client daemon's e-mail checking client 135 checks the e-mail e-mail checking confirmation by connecting the e-mail acknowledgment link ( S201 to S206).

In other words, in the e-mail system, in order to confirm the acknowledgment, the e-mail content is placed in a specific form in HTML form, and when the e-mail content is opened, the acknowledgment is automatically confirmed by accessing the link. If you want to do it manually, the user clicks to configure the page so that the acknowledgment information reaches the daemon.

In case of a # -mail, a read confirmation message exists separately. When a read request is requested from a # -mail client, the mail messaging server sends a read confirmation message to the sender side # mail messaging server by sending a mail read confirmation. When using an e-mail client as a # -mail client, use the e-mail acknowledgment method and the # -mail access acknowledgment that are normally used. First, the e-mail client receives the # -mail. The body of the # -mail converted to the e-mail contains a page link for acknowledgment and is opened in the e-mail acknowledgment module the moment the user opens the page. Receive page information. In the manual method, acknowledgment information is sent when the user clicks on the page. Here, the #mail information (identifier information) is written and converted into #mail browsing confirmation information. The #mail messaging server sends a #mail read confirmation message to inform the sender messaging server of the read.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for issuing a distribution certificate in an e-mail client daemon system having a shop mail transmission function according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the mail client requests distribution certificate, the distribution certificate issuing request module 136 of the mail expansion client daemon requests the shop mail messaging server 110A to issue the shop mail distribution certificate, and the shop mail. When the messaging server 110A receives a distribution certificate by requesting a distribution certificate (for example, the receipt certificate of FIG. 9) from the distribution certificate issuing server 24, the mail extension client daemon 130 receives the shop mail distribution certificate. Provided to the mail client 140 (S301 ~ S307).

In the case of issuance of a distribution certificate, a mail link is provided with page link information for issuing a distribution certificate in the body of the mail. If this page link is clicked, there is identifier information, etc., so that a distribution certificate issuance request is made through the distribution certificate issuing request module 136. The request for issuance of the sent message is made so that the received acknowledgment can be linked and issued when receiving the received acknowledgment, and click here to request issuance of a distribution certificate.
