It includes a third step of performing.

The present invention also provides an automatic dialing service system equipped with a processor to search for a telephone number through a telephone number search service, and terminates an existing connection when an automatic dialing icon is selected for dialing a number searched by a user. First function; A second function of forwarding, by the web server, information received through the common gateway interface to the user browser if the common gateway interface delivers the MIME type and the selected name / telephone number to the web server; And when the user browser receives the MIME type and runs the corresponding autodialing application, the autodialing application obtains name / telephone number information using the file name passed through the argument and makes a call to the corresponding telephone number. A computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a third function of performing the same.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of an automatic dialing service system to which the present invention is applied, and includes a common gateway interface (CGI) program 101, a web server 102, a browser 103, and a helper application program 104. .

As shown in the figure, the CGI program 101 running on the web server host selects a specific MIME type and transfers the name and phone number information obtained as a result of the search to the web server 102.

The web server 102 receives the MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension) type, name, and telephone number information and delivers the information to the browser 103 of the corresponding service user.

When the browser 103 receives the MIME type, name, and phone number information, it starts the helper application 104 registered to be executed when the MIME type is received, and received from the web server 102 in a temporary file of the user system. The name and phone number will be recorded.

The helper application (automatic dialing application) 104 driven by the browser 103 reads this information from the temporary file.

The common gateway interface program 101 should extract the name and telephone number retrieved by the user and deliver it to the web server 102, and designate the MIME type necessary for running the helper application 104. The new MIME type can be defined as a new one that is not defined by the standard. In the automatic dialing service (click & call service), it is specified as application / x-dialer. The common gateway interface program writes the name and phone number information retrieved by the user to a standard output file.

The autodial application is downloaded to the user's computer in advance by the user. In addition, the MIME type application / x-dialer is specified by the user, and the auto dialing application is registered as the using application. When the user is provided with such an environment and receives data of the MIME type application / x-dialer from the web server 102, the user browser 103 drives the designated autodialing application 104, and the web server 101. Record the name and phone number from the system temporary file.

The auto dialer application is divided into a main module, a callback function, and a resource. The main module is a skeleton part of the auto dialer function. It reads information transmitted from the web server 102 in a temporary file and generates a main dialog. Reads various initialization files, initializes variables, sets autodial text fonts, creates the main dialog, initializes the telephony application program interface (TAPI), returns to the message loop, and displays messages from the main dialog. Based on this, various callback functions are called. When the shutdown message occurs, it returns the allocated resource and handle and exits.

Autodial applications have several dialogs, including the main dialog. These dialogs exist to enhance the user interface, and there is one callback function corresponding to each dialog. The role of the callback function defines the handling of messages that occur in each dialog.

The main dialog is the main dialog of automatic dialing. It is created by CreateDialog function. The connecting dialog is created during dialing. When a dialing message occurs on the main dialog, it is created by DialogBoxParam function. It is created when the line is busy or not ready (modem is off). It is created by DialoBoxParam function when connection failure message occurs in TAPI callback function. This dialog is created when you try to enter a new name-phone number in the list. It is composed of two edit boxes. It is created by the DialogBoxParam function when a message corresponding to addition or modification occurs on the main dialog.

The automatic dialing application receives a searched name and phone number and performs a function of calling the phone number, and performs a phone number list management function so that it can be used as an independent program regardless of a phone number guide service.

In order to use the telephony application program interface (TAPI), the automatic dialing application receives the resource allocation by calling the lineInitialize function, registering the TAPI callback function with the LineInitialize function, and using the lineNegotiateAPIversion function. Negotiates, opens the line using the lineOpen function, converts the regulated address to a practical address that can actually be dialed using the lineTranslateAddress function, and converts the value converted from the lineTranslateAddress function to the actual telephone call. It is used as a number and uses the lineMakeCall function to make a real call. If the lineMakeCall function is executed successfully, the call is successful and hangs up using the lineDrop function.

The automatic dialing application performs a phone number list management function based on a combo box and a list box. That is, the name is kept in a list box, and the phone number is kept in a combo box. This is because the information held in the telephone number list is kept with the name as the key value. This is because access to the name is easier by keeping the name information in the list box. Functions provided by the phone number list management function include add, edit, and delete.

Add is used to add a new name-phone number. When the user presses the additional set button, the corresponding message is generated and a new edit dialog is created. If you enter the desired name-phone number, the name is added to the list box, and the phone number is added to the combo box.

Modification is used to change existing information. If the user selects a specific name-phone number and presses the modify button, a corresponding message is generated, and a new edit dialog is generated based on the existing information. When the user changes to the desired new value in this edit state, the change is reflected in the list box and the combo box, respectively.

Deletion occurs when the user selects a name-phone number to delete from the list and presses the delete button, and a corresponding message is generated. Also, the message is also generated in the list box and the combo box. Will be deleted.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of an automatic dialing service method according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a telephone number is searched through a telephone number search service (201), and when an automatic dialing icon is selected for dialing a number searched by a user (202), the existing connection is terminated (203). ).

Thereafter, the common gateway interface delivers the MIME type and the selected name / telephone number to the web server (204), and the web server delivers the information received through the common gateway to the user browser (205).

Subsequently, the user browser receives the MIME type to drive the corresponding autodialing application (206), and the autodialing application obtains name / telephone number information using the file name passed through the argument (207). The telephone number is dialed (208).

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.
