It is a terminal.

In addition, the voice message delivery server 60 receives a message transmitted from the mail server 40 and temporarily stores it, and converts and synthesizes the message into voice and transmits the message to the other party's wired / wireless telephone 65 to the controller and modem. And, the fax delivery server 70 is a controller and modem for receiving and storing the message transmitted from the mail server 40 temporarily and converts the message into a character and then modulates the message into a fax signal and transmits the message to the other party's fax 75. In addition, the SMS delivery server 80 receives a message transmitted from the mail server 40 and temporarily stores the received message, and a short message service (SMS) computer of a wireless communication company existing on the Internet. It is composed of a controller and a modulator for converting the data into a readable data form and modulating them in high frequency to transmit them to the counterpart mobile communication terminal 85.

The operation process of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2A and 2B.

Users using a mail service on the Internet register an address in the form of a telephone number as a mail address in the mail server 40 (S1).

Then, the user transmits the message data in the form of 'telephone number @ country code.system domain name' of the counterpart's mail address in the user communication terminal 10 which sends the mail (S2). Here, the system domain refers to the Internet address where the mail server that registers the address in the form of a telephone number resides.

In addition, the web server 20 may also serve as a computer for sending mail through a component of a program capable of creating and sending mail in a web document format.

If the other party's address of the mail sent to the mail server is a mail address composed of alphanumeric characters, the message is transmitted according to the address (S2-1).

Subsequently, the mail server 40 analyzes the message transmitted from the user communication terminal 10 and checks whether an account corresponding to the phone number exists (S3), and if there is no account with the phone number, the message is transmitted to the user communication terminal. Return to (10) (S3-1), and if there is an account with a telephone number, read the delivery method data of the account created through the web server 20 from the authenticated user of the account, and then instruct the mail delivery method. To grasp (S4).

If there is no account delivery method data in the mail server 40 in the above (S4), the message is stored in the mail server 40 (S4-1). Asynchronously perform each. In other words, the voice and text transmission tasks are asynchronously performed by communication terminals such as personal computers, wired / wireless telephones, fax machines and mobile communication terminals according to the delivery method form (S5 to S12).

In addition, if the account delivery method data specifies a fax transmission (S7), the message is sent to the fax delivery server, and the message is temporarily stored in the file system of the fax delivery server and then controlled by a control device that modulates the message into a fax signal. It is transformed into a fax document and then sent by fax by the controller controlling the fax modem (S8). If the transmission is completed, the temporarily stored message is deleted. In addition, in case of transmission error, error occurrence data is attached to the transmission message and stored in the mail server.

Then, if the account transfer method data specifies voice transmission (S9), the message is sent to the voice delivery server, and the message is temporarily stored in the file system of the voice delivery server and then controlled by a control device for synthesizing the message into a voice signal. After converting the voice data into a language suitable for the language in which the message is written, the controller for controlling the modem connected to the telephone line automatically dials and connects using the call access telephone number contained in the transmission method data and reproduces the voice (S10). When completed, the temporarily stored message is deleted, and when an error occurs, the error occurrence data is attached to the transmission message and stored in the mail server.

Finally, if the accounting data specifies a text transmission (S11), the message is sent to the short message delivery server, and the message is temporarily stored in the file system of the short message delivery (SMS) server and then the message is controlled. It is compressed or converted by the transmission to the short message server of the wireless carrier corresponding to the designated text transmission phone number (S12). When the transmission of the message is completed, the temporarily stored message is deleted. If an error occurs in the short message service computer of the wireless telecommunication company during transmission, the error message is attached to the transmission message and stored in the mail server.

Therefore, in the present invention, the mail address of each user who uses the mail service on the Internet is registered in the form of 'telephone number @ country code.system domain name' in the mail server, and designated when the mail is transmitted to the registered phone number account. By sending a voice or text message to the other party's communication terminal, users can send and receive messages with anyone in the world without knowing their phone number or fax number.
