Other components will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, the main processing unit 10 transmits the shipping history information including a part of the sending information (date of sending, number of sending, type of sending (SMS, LMS, MMS), etc.) To the sponsor device 30, a shipping history notification module 150 may be further included. The shipment history information is information to send to the sponsor information such as the date of shipment, the number of shipment, the type of shipment (SMS, LMS, MMS), and the like among the shipment information sent to the recipient.

4, the main processing unit 10 may be provided with a main processing unit 10 (see FIG. 4) for prior approval of the publicity information input from the sponsoring unit 30 before storing the publicity information in the publicity information storing module 120, And a publicity information approval processing module 155 for outputting publicity information to the publicity information approver apparatus 40 connected to the publicity information approval authority apparatus 40 and communicating with the publicity information approager apparatus 40. [

Various methods can be applied to the function of selecting the sponsor in the sponsor selection module 130.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5A, the sender selects the sponsor. In order to realize this, the sponsor list transmission unit 131 of the sponsor selection module 130 sends the sponsor list to the sender device 20 when the sender device 20 requests the sending request receiving module 125 to send the text. When the sender device 20 selects a desired sponsor from the list, the selection signal is input to the sponsor designation unit 132 of the sponsor selection module 130 to designate the sponsor and perform the subsequent dispatch processing. This embodiment can be implemented in various business models in actual implementation. For example, each sender can be made to choose only once per sponsor. In this case, in the sponsor list transmitted to the sender apparatus 20, the sponsor selected once may be excluded or deactivated.

In the embodiment of Figure 5b, a sponsor is selected based on the partnership between the sender and the sponsor. To this end, the sponsor selection module 130 includes an affiliation period monitoring unit 133 and a cooperation amount monitoring unit 134 between the sender registration module 110 and the sponsor registration module 115. When implementing the actual business model, the system administrator of the present invention will design the sender and the sponsor to mutually negotiate mutually necessary amount of shipment and period of time at the time of subscription to the system, and store the information.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5C, the random selection unit 135 in the sponsor selection module 130 randomly assigns a sponsor in the sponsor registration module 115. In this case, when designing the actual business model, it would be possible to design the same sponsor so that the same sponsor is not specified for a specific sender.
