Description

[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING SAFE MESSAGE [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a text message processing server for determining whether a text message is a reliable text message and transmitting the message, a communication terminal for communicating with the text message processing server, and a control method therefor .

Recently, as the communication terminal becomes a necessity, the utilization of the text message is greatly increased.

However, the use of the text message is advantageous in that it can conveniently communicate using a text message, but it also has a disadvantage that it damages the receiver of a text message like a spam message.

In this way, even when the spam message is overflowed, even a normal text message may not be properly read because the message recipient simply dislikes the message as an advertising spam message. This, in turn, significantly reduces the usability of the text message.

In order to solve such a problem, a security character service has been introduced. For example, in a service server, it is determined whether a sender of a text message is an authenticated sender. If the sender is an authenticated sender, security character information is included in a specific field Upon receiving the text message, the receiving terminal displays the text message according to the text information included in the text message, so that the user can know whether the text message is a text message.

However, in the conventional security text service, when the text message is processed while maintaining the format transmitted by the sender of the text message, and when the text message sender transmits a text message in a format that can not include the secure text information, There was no way to tell if the text message was a secure text message.

In particular, the present invention can be configured by combining at least any one of individual components, individual functions, or individual steps included in each embodiment.

Hereinafter, each signal referred to in the embodiments of the present invention may refer to one signal transmitted by one connection or the like, but may also mean a series of signals transmitted for the purpose of performing a specific function . That is, in each embodiment, a plurality of signals transmitted after a predetermined time interval or after receiving a response signal from the counterpart device can be represented by a single signal name for convenience.

The overall configuration of the entire communication system including both the secure text transmission server 100 and the secure text processing terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the entire communication system may include a character sending terminal 400, a secure character transmission server 100, and a secure character processing terminal 200.

Here, the character sending terminal 400 performs a function of generating a character message according to a user's operation and transmitting the character message. For example, the character sending terminal 400 may be a portable wireless terminal such as a feature phone or a smart phone, Line, or may be a predetermined server connected to the Internet.

When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the secure text transmission server 100 performs a function of including secure text information indicating a secure character in the text message transmitted by the text sending terminal 400 and a function of changing the format of the text message For example, the text message transmitted by the SMS terminal 400 may be a gateway that must pass through.

An example of a concrete functional block of the reliant character transmission server 100 is shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the character transmission server includes a receiving unit 110, an authenticated member determination unit 120, a character format changing unit 130, a transmitting unit 140, a terminal type determining unit 150, ). ≪ / RTI >

First, the storage unit 160 stores information, data, programs, and the like necessary for performing the functions of the secure SMS server 100, and further stores the information, data, programs, and the like that are generated during operation of the secure SMS server 100 or received from the outside Data, and information can be stored.

The receiving unit 110 receives a text message corresponding to one of a plurality of preset formats from the SMS server 400. The plurality of formats include a Short Message Service (SMS) format and a Multimedia Messaging Service) format.

Hereinafter, the secure SMS server 100 receives a text message having a format of SMS (Short Message Service) format or MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) format from the SMS server 400.

The authenticated member determination unit 120 performs a function of determining whether the sending subject of the received text message is an authenticated registered member.

For example, a telephone number may be stored in the storage unit 160 as information on an authenticated member who can send a security character. The authenticated member judging unit 120 judges whether the telephone number of the sender of the received text message is stored in the storage unit 160 to compare the telephone numbers of the authenticated members and determine whether the sender of the text message is an authenticated member.

As another example, the storage unit 160 may store an IP address as information on an authenticated member capable of sending a security character. In this case, the authenticated member determination unit 120 may determine that the text message sending IP address and the stored IP address It is possible to determine whether or not the user is an authorized member.

It goes without saying that the information on the authenticated member can be used as long as it can specify the sender of the text message such as the telephone number and the IP address as well as the terminal device number.

The character format changing unit 130 performs a function of changing the received text message to the third format in the same manner when the sending member of the text message is the registered authenticated member as a result of the determination by the authenticated member determining unit 120. [

Here, the third format may correspond to, for example, a Rich Communication Services (RCS) format.

That is, the character format changing unit 130 changes the RCS format when the received text message format is the SMS format or the MMS format.

Furthermore, the character format changing unit 130 also includes a security character information for causing the destination terminal to display the security character tag in the changed character message.

In this case, the relieved character information may include contents that can be immediately used by the relieved character processing terminal 200, or may include a URL (Uniform Resource) that the relieved character processing terminal 200 can request to transmit relief text content to the external Internet Locator), and an IP address.

Meanwhile, the terminal type determination unit 150 performs a function of determining whether the destination terminal, that is, the secure character processing terminal 200 of FIG. 1 is a terminal capable of processing a text message in a third format (RCS format in this embodiment) The character format changing unit 130 may change the character format of the received SMS text only when the secure character processing terminal 200 is a terminal capable of processing a text message in the RCS format as a result of the terminal type determination unit 150. [ Message or MMS text message to RCS format.

The transmitter 140 transmits a text message of a third format (for example, RCS format) including the secure text information to the receiver terminal.

In particular, if the secure character processing terminal 200 (the terminating terminal) can not process the text message of the third format (RCS format) as a result of the determination by the terminal type determination unit 150, The transmission branch process can be performed according to the format of the received text message.

For example, when the received text message is a text message in the MMS format, the transmission unit 140 delivers the text message to the Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC) responsible for transmission of the MMS format text message, Is a text message in the SMS format, it can transmit the text message to the Short Message Service Center (SMSC) responsible for transmission of the SMS format text message.

Meanwhile, the security character processing terminal 200 may be a kind of a calling terminal receiving a text message. The functional block of the secure character processing terminal 200 is as shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the secure character processing terminal 200 may include a receiving unit 210, a determining unit 220, a secure character processing unit 230, and a storage unit 240. In this embodiment, It is assumed that the secure text processing terminal 200 supports the text message conversion format (for example, RCS format) of the secure text transmission server 100 described above.

The storage unit 240 stores information, data, programs, and the like necessary for performing the functions of the secure character processing terminal 200. Further, the secure character processing terminal 200 stores Or data received from the outside can be stored.

The receiving unit 210 performs a function of receiving a text message including secure text information.

For example, as described above, when the text message transmitted by the text sending terminal 400 is changed to the text message of the RCS format by the secure text transmission server 100, the receiving unit 210 receives the text message of the RCS format do.

The determination unit 220 determines whether the network address identifier is included in the secure text information of the received text message.

The network address identifier may be, for example, a URL or an IP address.

If the security character processing unit 230 determines that the security character information includes the network address identifier for the security character marking, the security character processing unit 230 transmits the security character marking content to the external server 300 corresponding to the network address identifier Request and receive and output.

Also, the relieved character processing unit 230 may extract and output the stored relief character indicative content if the relieved character information does not include the network address identifier for relieved character indicia.

The relieved character markup content output by the relieved character processing unit 230 may correspond to an image, a moving image, a text, and the like. Herein, the term 'output' means a method in which a human being can sense five senses such as visual, auditory, The output of which is in at least one of the following ways.

Hereinafter, a control flow of the entire communication system including the secure text transmission server 100 and the secure text processing terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG.

4 shows a process in which a text message is transmitted from the text sending terminal 400 to the secure text processing terminal 200 via the secure text transmission server 100, that is, the text receiving terminal.

When the character sending terminal 400 transmits a text message to the secure text transmission server 100 according to the user's operation (step S1), the secure text transmission server 100 confirms the text message sender (step S3).

For example, the secure SMS server 100 can identify a sender of a text message by using the IP address of the text message or the telephone number or device number of the terminal that sent the text message.

If the sender does not correspond to the authenticated member as a result of comparison with the previously stored authenticated member information (step S5), the secure SMS server 100 delivers the received SMS to the SMS receiving terminal (step S7). Here, it is a matter of course that the relieved character transmission server 100 can perform the routing process so as to conform to the received character format when delivering the text message.

If the sender corresponds to the authenticated member (step S5), the relieved character transmission server 100 checks the received text message format (step S9), and transmits the confirmed text message format to the RCS format (Step S11).

For example, if the received text message is an SMS formatted message, the secure text transmission server 100 performs conversion processing by the SMS format-RCS format conversion algorithm. If the received text message is a message of the MMS format, The conversion processing by the RCS format conversion algorithm can be performed.

Furthermore, the relieved character transmission server 100 includes relief character information in a predetermined field of the RCS format (step S13), and then transmits the text message of the RCS format to the character terminating terminal (step S15).

When the trusted text processing terminal 200 includes the safe text information in the received text message, the secure text processing terminal 200 outputs the secure text character (step S17) so that the user can recognize that the text message is received from the authenticated sender.

5, when the relieved character transmission server 100 transmits a text message to the relieved character processing terminal 200, that is, the character terminating terminal, the relieved character processing terminal 200 firstly supports the third format, that is, the RCS format And the process of determining whether or not it is determined whether or not it is.

That is, the secure SMS server 100 confirms the format supported by the SMS receiving terminal (step S21).

For example, if the secure SMS server 100 has support format information corresponding to each SMS receiving terminal, the secure SMS server 100 may check the corresponding information, or may request a separate terminal management server to support the SMS receiving server You can also check the format information.

If the SMS receiving terminal does not support the RCS format (step S23), the secure SMS server 100 transmits the received SMS message to the SMS receiving terminal in the format (step S25) (Step S23), the relieved character transmission server 100 confirms the received text message format and changes the text message to an RCS format text message using a corresponding algorithm (step S27).

Since the subsequent steps are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 4, redundant description will be omitted.

Meanwhile, FIG. 6 shows an example of a control process performed in the secure character processing terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

After receiving the text message in the RCS format (step S41), the safe text processing terminal 200 extracts the secure text information from the received text message (step S43).

If the extracted secure character information is included in the URL (step S45), the secure character processing terminal 200 requests and downloads the secure character marker content by connecting to the URL (step S47), and outputs the downloaded secure character marker content (Step S49).

If the extracted relief character information is not included in the URL (step S45), the relief character processing terminal 200 outputs the relief character mark content set in advance (step S51). For example, The secure character processing terminal 200 can extract and output the corresponding secure character mark content.

As another example, when the URL corresponding to the character mark content is stored in the default setting, the secure character processing terminal 200 may request and download the character mark content using the default URL, and output the character mark content.

Meanwhile, it goes without saying that the process of performing each of the above-described embodiments can be performed by a program or an application stored in a predetermined recording medium (for example, a computer-readable). Here, the recording medium includes an electronic recording medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk, and an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disk).

At this time, the program stored in the recording medium may be executed on hardware such as a computer or a smart phone to perform each of the above embodiments. In particular, at least one of the functional blocks of the secure character transmission server and the secure character processing terminal according to the present invention may be implemented by such a program or application.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In particular, in the above example, the character transmitting terminal transmits a text message in either format of SMS or MMS. However, the character transmitting terminal may transmit a text message in the RCS format. In this case, If you are a member, you only need to add secure text information without format conversion.

It is to be understood that such variations and modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
