Description

Message sending / receiving method to add corresponding sending / receiving identification number for each message

The present invention relates to a message transmission / reception method for removing a complicated procedure such as password management by adding a corresponding transmission / reception identification number for each message and enabling transmission / reception of messages between specific members in or out of a group.

There are various ways to communicate with people in daily life. Telephone is the most common method, and the existing postal methods such as postcards and letters are used, and recently, due to the increase in the use of personal computers, The use of is soaring. Telephones are the simplest and easiest way to reach, but they cannot be reached when the other party is busy, not answering the call, or absent. In addition, the letter has the disadvantage that it takes a complicated procedure and a long time from the step of creating the letter to the delivery to the recipient. Email is convenient and inexpensive, but you can't send or receive messages if your PC isn't available. In order to solve these problems, an object of the present invention is to transmit and receive a message to a specific individual or a plurality of people at a desired time using various terminals such as a telephone, a fax machine, a pager, and a PC.

In recent years, various methods for sending and receiving messages have been proposed and similar services are provided, but greatly different in comparison with the present invention. The existing method targets the telephone number subscribed to the service and uses a single password, which requires continuous maintenance of the password. Compared with the conventional methods for transmitting and receiving messages using a telephone, the following differences can be seen.

For example, the telephone club service is a closed group service that is restricted to the members of the affiliated club. It uses passwords for administrators and general club users, and the administrator must manage passwords for two purposes. The method proposed in the present invention can eliminate the need for the conventional password management or the transmission and reception ID management by sending and receiving a message by adding a transmission and reception ID (identification number) for each message. Looking at the telephone mailbox or telephone mail service, the main purpose is to leave the message of the person who is calling during the absence or during the call as a message, and to listen later. To use the service, a separate subscription is required. In addition to being used for this purpose, the present invention frequently leaves messages such as sending a greeting letter by mail to family members, friends and relatives in the distant places, as if the users of the pager are calling for the purpose of conveying their greetings. You can deliver it at the time you want. In addition, in the case of the 141 contact service, there is no separate sign-up procedure, but it is inconvenient to open a contact room when sending or receiving a message because the recipient can send and receive a message only when the contact room is opened.

As can be seen from the above comparative analysis, existing methods generally have inconvenient password maintenance, require a separate sign-up or establishment process, and must be accompanied by a procedure for maintaining their own information or club information. There is such a complexity. Another problem that has been pointed out as a disadvantage in the existing message transmission and reception methods is that when using a common terminal, that is, a telephone, the telephone number alone is insufficient as a clear message forwarding address for individual senders and receivers. Message security is not fully guaranteed.

In the present invention, it is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems by adding a transmission / reception ID for each message so that only the transmission / reception parties who know each other's ID can send and receive messages reliably.

The present invention devised to solve the problem of the conventional method of transmitting and receiving a message is to add a transmission and reception ID for each message to deliver a message so that the sum of the recipient's terminal number and the reception ID added to the message is the recipient's personal mailbox. Can be used like a number. In addition, by adding a transmission / reception ID for each message, the system does not need to manage a personal mailbox number separately. Therefore, a user (sender or recipient) also does not need to access a system to manage a personal mailbox number. For this reason, if a message is used as a personal mailbox number by adding a transmission / reception ID for each message, there is no need to subscribe to a service in order to send and receive a message, and all users have the same effect as owning a personal mailbox. In particular, compared to the existing message transmission and reception method using a common password in a common phone, the method proposed by the present invention can have the same effect as creating a plurality of personal mailboxes on a single phone. By adding a transmission / reception ID for each message, a personal mailbox number is created immediately by inputting a transmission / reception ID every time a message is recorded. After the recipient confirms the message, the personal mailbox number disappears at the same time as the message is deleted. As such, the process of generating and destroying a personal mailbox number can be freely performed without complicated procedures.

4: Database for storing and managing messages

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, when the sender sends a message, the terminal number, the receiving ID, the name of the recipient is input along with the recording of the message, followed by the terminal number of the sender, the sending ID, and the name of the sender. Then enter the delivery date and time of the message. At the time and time of delivery of the message input by the sender, the service system connects to the terminal number of the receiver to notify the arrival of the message, receives the message listening request from the recipient, confirms the reception ID, and then listens to the message. Recipients who receive the message may reject the message and, if they wish to listen to it, must enter a reception ID. In this case, when the sender does not input the reception ID, the recipient may also listen to the message without inputting the reception ID. Just as the reception ID may be omitted, the transmission ID may be omitted, and the transmission / reception ID may use any four-digit number that is commonly used, and the reception ID may be used without limiting the number of digits of the transmission / reception ID to increase service convenience. Make it possible to use numbers or words. Transmitting / receiving terminal numbers and sending / receiving IDs are mostly inputting random numbers using terminal buttons.However, according to the development of voice recognition technology and voice change technology, random numbers or words are used in various forms such as voice and text. It will be possible.

That is, in the method for transmitting / receiving a message of the present invention, the message transmitted from a transmitting terminal includes message content information, information on a recipient, information on a sender, message transmission date and time, and the receiving terminal. Input the information on the recipient to receive the message content information.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an overall configuration diagram showing a configuration of a message providing system and a system for providing a service including a sender and a receiver to which the present invention is applied. Both the sending terminal and the receiving terminal can connect to the service system, the sender can access the service system using a simple service identification number, and the sender must know the receiving terminal number. The service system can access the receiving terminal using the recipient's terminal number input by the sender. After the connection is completed, the recipient requests to listen to the message, the recipient's reception qualification is recognized, and the message is delivered.

The composition of the message includes the contents of the message recorded by the sender first, and the terminal number, the receiving ID, and the recipient name of the sender corresponding to the information of the recipient. Next is the sender's terminal number, sender ID, and sender's name corresponding to the sender's information. Finally, it consists of the delivery date and time of the message. The order of composition of the messages is the order entered by the sender. The contents of the message, the recipient terminal number, the date and time of the message delivery are essential components, and the recipient ID, recipient name, and sender's terminal corresponding to other sender's information. The number, transmission ID, and sender name can be omitted. Among the components of the message, the sum of the recipient's terminal number and the receiving ID can be viewed as the correct address to which the message is delivered. The receiving ID is used as a condition to authenticate the recipient's qualification as well as the address. The service system does not need to manage the transmission / reception ID separately, and only determines whether the reception ID is the same as the reception ID input by the sender when the recipient inputs the ID after the message is delivered.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a sender creates a message and inputs necessary information. After connecting to the service system first, the sender creates a message. After completing the message, first enter the recipient terminal number, the receiving ID, and the recipient name corresponding to the recipient's information. At this time, the terminal number of the recipient must be entered, but the reception ID or the recipient name can be omitted. However, if the receiving ID is omitted, the security of the message cannot be thoroughly maintained because the recipient cannot be authenticated.

After the recipient's information is entered, enter the sender's terminal number, sender ID, and sender's name corresponding to the sender's information. At this time, it is not necessary to input the information corresponding to the sender's information, but it should be entered if the recipient wants to receive a reply from the recipient, whether the message has been successfully delivered, or if the recipient wants to receive a notification upon rejection. When the input of the information for the sender is completed, all the procedures necessary for sending the message are completed by entering the date and time when the message is to be delivered.

FIG. 3 is a procedure diagram for showing a process until the service system notifies the recipient of the arrival of the message at the message delivery time and the recipient listens to the message. The method of receiving a message differs depending on the type of receiving terminal.

In the case of commonly used PSTN phones, ISDN phones, and mobile phones, the service system dials the recipient and, when the recipient answers the phone, notifies that the message has been delivered from whom the sender was sent, and the recipient listens for the message. If you want to, you will be prompted for the Receive ID. If the sender did not enter a Receive ID, this procedure may be omitted. When the ID input by the recipient is the same as the reception ID input by the sender, the recipient is allowed to listen to the message by acknowledging the recipient's entitlement to receive the message. If the receiving terminal is connected to a pager or voicemail, it notifies only the arrival of the message and notifies the service identification number, which is the access number of the service system, so that the recipient can access the service system and listen to the message later. The procedure after the recipient connects to the service system is the same as when the service system calls the recipient. If the receiving terminal is designated as a PC or a fax, the voice is converted into a text format and sent to the e-mail address or the contents of the message by fax at the message delivery time input by the sender.

As described above, the present invention can provide a service to an unspecified number of users who do not subscribe to a service, and can use the service freely when a message is transmitted or received without a service subscription or service establishment procedure. In addition, since the transmission / reception ID is assigned for each message, it is possible to reduce the burden of knowing the transmission / reception ID at all times and to omit a rather complicated procedure such as management of the transmission / reception ID.

Especially when one phone is shared, for example, members of a dormitory or large family have been somewhat difficult to receive individual messages in the traditional way. However, when the present invention is applied, only a recipient who knows the transmission and reception ID properly in such a situation can listen to the message, so that even if a shared telephone is used, the message sent to the user can be surely received.

That is, if the service system inputs the recipient ID after delivering the message with the added recipient ID, the service system only needs to determine whether the received ID is the same as the added recipient ID. Can be omitted and the service system does not need to be managed by a separate DB.

As such, the present invention simplifies the password management or service subscription process by adding corresponding transmission / reception IDs for each message, and sends a message only to a specific sender / receiver sharing the transmission / reception ID to a plurality of users using a common terminal, for example, a common telephone. Allow to give and receive

In the future, for example, when the present invention is applied to an intelligent network service system, STT (Speech To Text) and TTS (Text To Sppech) functions are provided in IP, which is an additional device, and voice and voice are combined through CTI technology. When text can be converted to each other, it will send and receive messages, faxes, and e-mails regardless of the type of sending / receiving terminal.

It should be understood that the present invention described above has been disclosed for purposes of illustration, and that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, changes, and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such modifications, changes, and additions are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. Should be regarded as belonging to the appended claims.
