Abstract

PURPOSE: An e-mail transmission method by using a telephone number is provided to increase the convenience of a user by using a telephone number of an e-mail receiver. CONSTITUTION: The e-mail transmission method comprises the steps of: judging whether to transmit the e-mail written out in a computer; detecting the telephone number of the receiver on the e-mail if transmitting the e-mail; changing the detected telephone number to a domain name; transmitting the e-mail to the IP address after changing the changed domain name to a IP address.

Description

How to send an email using a phone number.

The present invention relates to e-mail, and more particularly, to use a recipient's telephone number instead of a recipient's domain name and recipient's account for the transmission of e-mail over the Internet. The present invention relates to a method for transmitting an email.

First, e-mail will be briefly described.

An e-mail usually displays a message input from a keyboard on a monitor of the other terminal by calling the other terminal.

The other terminal can take this out in the form of paper printing if necessary. The same function can be realized using the facsimile G4 and teletex terminal, which are currently being reviewed by international standards. Can be realized.

Voice mail is a voice mail that realizes the same function in the form of voice. E-mail and voice mail are now a powerful function of office automation and are added as a standard function of a private communication network in a newly constructed office.

In addition, there are protocols for transmitting / receiving e-mail, respectively, and typical examples are POP for receiving and SMTP for transmitting.

POP stands for Post Office Protocol, a post office protocol designed to read e-mail from a server even on a single-user host.

Products published by this protocol include POP, POP2, and POP3, and the problem is that the upper product does not provide compatibility for the lower product.

Currently, the POP3 protocol is widely used to make mail available using the Windows mail program.

Here, SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, which is a simple email transfer protocol used for the transfer and exchange of email between computers.

SMTP is a communication protocol used by e-mail exchange servers that specifies how two computers will interconnect and control commands used to send e-mail.

In addition, in order to send an e-mail to a receiving party, the recipient account and receiving domain name must be known.

Here, domain refers to a collection of network servers and resources in a logical group.

In other words, a domain name alone is used to distinguish host names of the same class so that a host's personality can be identified. However, important domains used on the Internet include web (website related company), org (organization), nom (personal name), net (network management authority).

Conventionally, when a domain name and a recipient account of a receiver are input to send such an email, the domain name of the receiver is substantially converted into an IP (Internet Protocol) address, and then the email is transmitted to the receiver.

However, the transmission of the electronic mail in such a conventional manner has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to use for the first time using the electronic mail or a person who is not familiar with computer communication.

Also, there was the inconvenience of always remembering the recipient's account and domain name.

Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to transmit an e-mail using the recipient's telephone number instead of the recipient's domain name and the recipient's account when sending the e-mail. In providing a method.

The method for transmitting an e-mail using the telephone number of the present invention for solving the above objects comprises the steps of determining whether to send a computer-generated e-mail, and when the e-mail is transmitted, the e-mail. Detecting a telephone number of a receiving side, converting the detected telephone number into a domain name, converting the converted domain name into an IP address, and then converting the email to the IP Protocol) address.

Hereinafter, the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention described above will be described in more detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention shown in the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram showing the concept of sending and receiving e-mail according to the present invention.

As shown, a receiving server 200 designed to read email from a server, a sending server 300 used for sending and exchanging emails, and a receiving side address of an email transmitted through an internet network. IP address of the computer 100 for inputting the number as a telephone number, the number server 400 for converting the phone number input from the computer 100 into a domain name, and the domain name converted from the number server 400. (DN) server 500 for translating into Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) addresses.

A method of transmitting an e-mail using the telephone number of the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, it is determined whether to send the e-mail created in the computer 100 (step: S100).

Here, the determination is made by the computer 100 using an application program, and after inputting the telephone number of the e-mail receiving side, the control unit (not shown) of the computer 100 determines whether a command for transmission was performed. By judging from).

As a result of the determination, when the email is transmitted, the telephone number of the receiving party is detected in the email (step S200).

Here, the call number detection of the receiver is performed by the transmission server 300.

The detected phone number is converted into a domain name (step S300).

Here, the conversion is performed in the number server 400, the number server 400 is a database of the domain name and the receiving telephone number data corresponding to the receiving side, the receiving telephone number is received in the database It converts to the domain name corresponding to the side.

After converting the converted domain name into an IP (Internet Protocol) address (step: S400), the email is transmitted to the IP (Internet Protocol) address (step: S500).

Here, the domain name corresponding to the receiving side and the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the receiving side are databased in the DNS server 500, and the converted domain name is converted into the IP (Internet Protocol) corresponding to the receiving side. ) It converts to an address.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be appreciated that modifications or variations may be made. Therefore, changes in the future embodiments of the present invention will not be able to escape the technology of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, instead of inputting the domain name of the receiving party and the account of the recipient in order to send an email, the telephone number of the email recipient. By using only, the inconvenience of having to remember the receiving domain name and the recipient's account separately each time can be eliminated, thereby increasing user convenience.
