Description

Message transfer intermediate system and message transfer method using the same {message transferring intermediate-system and message transferring method by it}

The present invention relates to a message transmission intermediation system and a message transmission method using the same for cheaply transmitting a message, specifically, whether the receiver is a subscription member of a message transmission service company that can send a message free or inexpensively. The present invention relates to a message transmission intermediation system and a message transmission method using the same, by which a message can be transmitted through the service company so that a message can be sent at a minimum cost.

As smartphones account for a large share of the overall mobile phone market, the importance of message services and social influence is growing as the share of message services in the mobile phone market explodes.

The message is mainly used for the purpose of delivering personal information between individuals who know the ID of the other party's telephone number or messenger service, but recently, it is also widely used for information delivery for advertising, events, etc. for commercial purposes. A message may be broadly classified into a short message and a multimedia message. A multimedia message service (MMS), which may include multimedia information such as content, pictures, and sounds, may be compared to a short message such as a short message service (SMS). Although it has the advantage of effectively delivering event news, the multimedia message service, which requires several times to 10 times higher cost than the short message, has a significant cost burden for a person who wants to send a large amount of messages.

For example, when an event planner plans an event and collects user identification information to receive information such as whether or not to win the event from the event applicant, when the event planner wants to send information such as whether or not to win the event, Sending a message causes significant cost loss, and making a large message transfer contract with each carrier also has a problem that it is difficult to predict demand.

As a technique for cheaply sending a message, there is a "patent providing apparatus and method on the Internet with a free short message service function" of Patent No. 10-0458134 (filed Aug. 23, 2004). The prior art is a method to send a text message for free when viewing the advertisement on the Internet, a method that allows the sender to send a text to the recipient free of charge when exposed to the advertisement for a certain time, for the individual user to watch a short time advertisement The advantage is that you can send messages for free or cheaply. However, the conventional technology is limited to a short message service, so it is inadequate for multimedia message transmission, and is only suitable for users who wish to send a small amount of messages, and user information is transmitted to an advertiser presenting each advertisement. There was a problem indiscriminately disclosed to others.

"Advertising marketing system and method thereof through free outgoing message" of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0111175 (published Dec. 23, 2008) may transmit a multimedia message (MMS) as well as a short message (SMS). By signing in and logging in, it is possible to send a message, which has the advantage of easy management of user personal information. However, the disclosed patent technology allows advertisement to be included in the message sent to the receiver, thereby exposing the receiver to the advertisement, thereby exposing the recipient to the advertisement, thereby charging the recipient for the message transmission. There is an unreasonable point, and the person who wants to send a large amount of messages requires unnecessarily large amount of time, such as entering the recipient number individually, and thus could not expect the inconvenience and cost savings.

In recent years, the use of mobile devices that can easily send messages such as smartphones and pads in place of the conventional mobile phone has rapidly increased, and you need to listen to advertisements for sending messages such as Kakao Talk, My People, Google Talk, or separate messages. The company has been able to send messages free of charge as a company that provides free message sending service is not included, but it is possible to send free messages only if both the sender and receiver of the message are registered as members. If is not a member of the company there is a problem that you can not use the service to send a message.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, when a sender who wants to send a message to a plurality of recipients to send a message to the receiver, to listen to the advertisement for sending the message or a separate external advertising included in the message To provide a message transmission intermediary system that can send a message cheaply and quickly without being.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, however, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, the message transmission intermediation system of the present invention receives user identification information from a user who wants to receive a message, such as a person or an event applicant who wants to use information from a specific information provider, and receives the user identification information. As a basis for sending a message, the shipment information generation unit 100, the priority selection unit 200, the shipment history confirmation unit 300, the member confirmation request unit 400, the shipment request unit 500, and the shipment confirmation The unit 600 is configured.

The shipment information generation unit 100 generates the shipment information by tying user identification information such as ID, email address, mobile phone number, etc., which can distinguish the data including the contents of the message to be transmitted and the recipient, and the user. The message data including the specific information to be sent to the receivers providing the identification information or whether to win the event and the user identification information of the receiver who can receive the data are combined to form one dispatch information.

In the method of sending the generated shipment information to the receiver, it can be divided into two types, one of which provides the free message sending service when the recipient is subscribed to a service provider that provides a message sending service for free or inexpensively. Sending a message through a company or the like, and the other is to use the existing mobile phone communication network to which the receiver is subscribed. Although it is expensive to send a multimedia message when transmitting to an existing cellular network, it is not a member of a service provider that provides a message sending service at a relatively low cost or free of charge compared to an existing cellular network. In the case of the receiver, it is necessary to use the existing cellular network to transmit the message. Therefore, the recipient can use the free or low-cost message service provider that is already registered as a member, but if the subscriber is not a member of the free or low-cost message service provider, the existing mobile phone network can be automatically used. do.

Priority selector 200 selects the priority of the service provider that can be used when you want to send a message to the receiver as described above, and generates the priority information to enable the service provider corresponding to the priority. First, a free or inexpensive message sending service company is divided into a first group channel and a second group channel, and the existing mobile phone communication network is configured as a second group channel. Among the first group channels, service providers that can reduce the shipping cost should be ranked in order of priority, considering whether the shipping cost is free or paid, or whether the number of registered members is large. Each service provider is categorized so that the service provider can be ranked first, so that the time required to check whether the receiver is a member of the service provider included in the first group channel can be minimized.

The information of each service channel may be changed at any time due to changes in the market environment, and the manager who manages the system of the present invention periodically checks the information of each service channel to change the message sending fee, the change in the number of subscription members, etc. When inputting the priority, the priority selector 200 recognizes the input data and automatically determines the priority between service channels.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sending history checking unit 300 checks the sending history cache 700 in which the message sending information is recorded and has a sending history to the recipient having the user identification information included in the sending information. Check whether or not. The dispatch history cache 700 stores user identification information, a service channel, and a final dispatch time. If it is confirmed that the sending history exists, it is determined whether the sending service channel of the message previously sent to the receiver is the first group channel or the second group channel, and if the sending channel is the first group channel, it is sent to the sending request unit 500. Transfer the information (Mem 1) and shipping information in the history cache 700, and in the case of the second group channel, forwards the shipping information to the member confirmation request unit 400 to be described later and whether the member in the member confirmation request unit 400 To judge. Even when the sending history does not exist, as in the case where the sending history to the second group channel exists in the sending history cache 700, the sending information is transmitted to the member confirmation requesting unit 400 and the member confirming requesting unit 400 Judge membership. In order to reduce the cost of sending a message, it is not subscribed to all the service providers included in the first group channel after determining once more whether the subscriber subscribes to the free or cheap message sending service provider included in the first group channel after the sending history is recorded. If not, it is to be sent to the second group channel like the existing sending history.

3 is a flowchart of the structure and logic of the membership confirmation request unit 400 of the present invention. The member confirmation request unit 400 requests whether the receiver is a member of each service channel for each priority determined by the priority selector 200. Among the first group channels, a request is made to sequentially check whether the member is the member of the highest priority service channel or the member of the lowest priority service channel, and the ID, email address, mobile phone number, and the like, which are the user identification information of the receiver, are selected. Recipients are determined by searching in the member information database stored in the channel. When the receiver is identified as a member of the senior service channel, the member confirmation request is stopped, and the information (Mem 2) of the service channel is transmitted to the dispatch request unit 500 below together with the shipment information. If it is determined that the receiver is not a member of the priority service channel, the request is made to confirm whether the receiver is a member of the next priority service channel. If the receiver is a member of the next-order service channel, the membership verification request is stopped, and the information (Mem 3) and the shipment information of the service channel are transmitted to the dispatch request unit 500. Ask to see if you are a member. Regardless of which service channel the receiver is subscribed to, if the receiver is identified as a member of a service company included in the first group channel, the receiver's user identification information, service channel, and confirmation time are stored in the cache of the member confirmation request unit 400. On the other hand, if it is confirmed that all members of the service channel registered in the first group channel are not members, the non-subscription information (None 1) and the dispatch information are transmitted to the dispatch request unit 500.

The shipment request unit 500 uses the shipment information generated by the shipment information generation unit 100 and the service channel information transmitted through the shipment history confirmation unit 300 or the member confirmation request unit 400 to each service channel. Request shipment. Among the information of the service channel, the receiver who subscribes to the service channel included in the first group channel such as Mem 1 to Mem 3 is requested to send a message to each service channel, and none of the service channel included in the first group channel such as None 1 Recipient who is not confirmed as a member is requested to send a message to the second group channel.

As shown in FIG. 4, the dispatched message determines whether the message is successfully sent through the shipment confirmation unit 600. If the message is successfully sent, the information on the service channel, user identification information of the receiver, and final delivery are determined. Information such as time is stored in the shipping history cache 700. If the message is unsuccessful, the user identification information and the failed log are stored in the shipping history cache 700, and if there is a previous sending history, it is deleted, and the message is resent or the sending information is sent to the member verification request unit 400. .

Failure to send a message can be divided into two categories. The first is a case in which the message cannot be delivered due to a problem in the Internet or mobile phone network when the message is sent. The message cannot be delivered by withdrawing from the service, and has a history of sending to the service provider included in the first group channel, so that the request is sent without going through the member verification request unit 400, but withdraws from the service company that was previously sent out. If you cannot receive the message.

If a problem occurs in the communication network as in the first case, it is preferable to request resend immediately or after a predetermined time to the same service channel, and in the second case, the shipment confirmation unit 600 to the member confirmation request unit 400 and It is desirable to send the user identification information so that the message can be sent to the receiver by going through the logic of checking whether the user is a member of each service channel. However, even in the first case, if it is a continuous failure or a problem occurring in the service channel itself, it is preferable to check whether or not the member by sending the dispatch information and the user identification information to the member verification request unit 400.

If the receiver is subscribed to the first group channel and the request is sent without going through the member verification request unit, the receiver does not leave the subscribed service channel, but subscribes to the next highest service channel and uses only the service channel. The recipient is often unable to receive this dispatch message. In this case, as in the second case where the sending fails, the message can be sent again through the member verification request unit 400, but the message is continuously sent through the priority service channel unless the previous priority service channel is left. In order to solve the problem, if a message is sent to the same channel more than a certain number of times for a certain period of time, but the recipient does not confirm, it checks whether the subscription is made in the next-generation service channel without going through the process of confirming membership in the previous senior service channel. This ensures that the message is delivered to the recipient correctly.

A method for a sender to send a message to a plurality of recipients by using the message transmission relay system is as follows.

(A) User identification information providing step (S1)

Recipients who want to receive specific information from the information provider, such as those who are interested in the event or those who want to receive the message containing their own interests, can use the user's terminal such as a mobile phone, PC, or pad, etc. It provides identification information such as ID, email address and mobile phone number.

(B) Priority selection step (S2)

Companies that provide message sending services are classified into a first group channel and a second group channel. Companies that provide free or inexpensive message sending services are classified into a first group channel, and an existing mobile phone network is classified into a second group channel. Classify as a channel. Among the first group channels, the priority channel is determined according to whether or not each message sending service provider is free. If the sending rate is the same, the priority channel is determined according to whether or not the service provider has a plurality of subscribers. The ranking selector 200 is stored.

(C) Shipping information generation step (S3)

The shipment information generation unit 100 generates the shipment information by combining user identification information such as an ID, an email address, a mobile phone number, etc. which can distinguish the data information to be sent and the recipient, including an event winning result.

(D) Shipping history confirmation step (S4)

The shipment history confirmation unit 300 checks whether the user identification information included in the shipment information of the receiver exists in the shipment history cache 700. If it is confirmed that the sending history exists, check whether the first group channel, in the case of the first group channel, the following member verification request step (S5) is omitted, and the sending information and the sending history sending request unit 500 Transfer to and use it to proceed with the sending request step (S6). If the sending history does not exist or if the sending history exists but is sent through the second group channel, the following member confirmation request step (S5) is performed.

(E) Membership verification request step (S5)

The member confirmation request unit 400 requests whether the receiver is a member of the priority service channel among the first group channels stored in the priority selector 200. When the member is confirmed as a member, the information on the service channel and the receiver's sending information are transmitted to the dispatch request unit 500. If the member is not a member, a request is made to confirm whether the member is a next-order service channel. The channel information and the receiver's dispatch information are transmitted to the dispatch request unit 500. If the channel is not registered as a member in the service channel registered in all the first group channels, the unsubscribed information and the dispatch information of the receiver are sent to the dispatch request unit. Send to 500. When any service channel of the first group channel is subscribed to a member, the service channel information, user identification information, confirmation time and the like are stored in the cache.

(F) Shipping request step (S6)

Using the service channel information transmitted from the sending history checking step or the member checking request step, the sending information is sent to the service company for each recipient. If there is unsubscribed information of the receiver, the request for dispatching the receiver's dispatch information is transmitted through the second group channel.

(G) Shipping confirmation and cache storage step (S7)

The shipment confirmation unit 600 confirms whether the message is transmitted to each message service channel. If the message is successfully sent, the information on the received service channel, the user identification information of the receiver, and the final sending time are stored in the sending history cache 700. If the message fails to send, the receiver's user identification information and failure log are stored in the sending history cache, and if the previous sending history exists in the sending history cache, it is deleted, and the message is resent or the sending information is sent to the member verification request unit. For example, if the message sent through the member verification request unit 400 fails, it is preferable to request resend immediately or after a predetermined time. If the message fails to pass through the member verification request unit 400 fails, the sending information is sent to the member. By sending a request for confirmation of membership by transmitting to the confirmation request unit 400, it is preferable to perform a process of requesting re-shipment after determining whether the receiver is a member of a service provider among the first group channels.

The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to specific embodiments, but the above embodiments are merely examples for easy understanding of the present invention, and therefore, substitutions, additions, and modifications within the scope do not depart from the spirit of the present invention. Embodiments will also belong to the protection scope of the present invention as defined by the claims below.
