Description

Email return system and method in the Internet {A return mail system and method in internet}

The present invention relates to an email return system and method using the Internet, and more particularly to an email return system and method for receiving only the return message of the recipient without exposing the sender's email address and mobile phone number .

E-mail means that users exchange information with each other by a communication network, i.e., a PC or a mobile communication terminal (including a mobile phone and a pager, referred to collectively as a mobile phone in the present invention) connected through the Internet. It is a type of electronic document that is similar to a general letter sent and received, and a wide range includes posting contents input to a bulletin board system provided by an electronic bulletin board implementation server.

The e-mail (mail) is very widely used because it can communicate quickly and conveniently two-way compared to the conventional mail or mass media, but has a slight discontinuity in the exchange of e-mail with each other.

In other words, the conventional e-mail has a structure in which the sender sends an e-mail to the receiver's server and the sender checks this and replies by writing the sender's e-mail address and reply message. You must enter your address or mobile number.

Therefore, even if the sender does not want to give the e-mail address or mobile phone to the recipient, he has no choice but to expose his or her e-mail address or mobile phone to receive a reply.

In particular, in case of e-mail, a certain amount of security is maintained since the e-mail is sent to a specified recipient, but in the case of a bulletin board, it is exposed to an unspecified number of people. Sometimes, even after achieving the desired purpose, their contact information may be posted on the bulletin board, so in this case, you will have to repeatedly receive unnecessary calls.

Also, in order to reply to the sender, the recipient also has a hassle to open a new window of the receiver's mail server, rewrite the sender's address, and compose and send a reply message. Of course, most servers that provide e-mail services provide a service that writes the sender's e-mail address directly in the address bar when the recipient clicks the reply button, but it also has the trouble of clicking the reply button. In the case of electronic bulletin boards with unknown information, even such services cannot be used.

In addition, the conventional mail has a closure that the sender has to wait in front of the terminal until the reply message for the e-mail from the recipient in order to immediately confirm the recipient's reply. Of course, in this case, the receiver may send a reply message to the sender's mobile phone by using a short message service (SMS) to send a text message to the mobile phone. It should also be used, and it must have a closing message that must include the calling party's mobile number along with the reply message.

As described above, the present invention is to solve the discontinuity of the conventional e-mail service. When the sender inputs his or her information such as an e-mail address or a mobile phone number and a mail to be sent to the recipient, the server sends the sender information. Send the sender's unique code to the database and send it to the recipient with the CGI execution device and the sender's unique code attached to the mail. Then, the recipient checks the mail and receives the return mail created and sent by the CGI execution device. It is to provide an e-mail bounce system and method that allows the sender to check it by receiving it to be sent to the sender's email server or mobile phone.

In the present invention, "bounce mail" is a term for use as a concept to differentiate from the concept of reply in the conventional email service, that is, the sender (including the content creator) is sent to the recipient's mail server (including the electronic bulletin board server). Recipients (including post content checkers) use any CGI executable device attached to sent or saved e-mails (including post content) to open any new action (open a new entry window, use another program, email address or mobile phone number). E-mail only for returning to the sender immediately by clicking the return button by filling in only the reply message to the sender's e-mail without the act of writing the message.

In other words, as with a return envelope whose address is written on the outer bag like a return mail executed in a conventional offline manner, and only the contents are returned, the recipient is displayed at the bottom of the mail contents 11 of the mail display window 10 as shown in FIG. If you write a reply message in the reply message input window 12 and click the return button 12, the reply message can be returned to the sender mail server.

That is, since the reply message input window 12 and the return button 12 are displayed by the CGI execution device attached to the sender's email, the receiver does not need to enter the sender's email address or mobile phone number, of course. In addition, the sender's personal information can be delivered to the recipient's reply message without being exposed to the recipient.

1 is a block diagram showing an email return system of the present invention, the present invention provides a mail in the email return system for the sender to send the mail to the recipient and the reply message of the recipient for the mail is sent back to the recipient; The sender terminal 1 connected to the Internet network 3 to enter information such as the sender's email address or mobile phone number, and check the sender's mail and create a reply message, and the Internet network (3). Sender unique code to the receiver terminal (2) connected to the e-mail receiving server (5), the Internet network (3), the Internet network (3) connected to the Internet address (3) and information such as the email address or mobile number entered by the sender Store the data in the database 4b, attach the CGI execution device and the sender unique code to the recipient, and send the message to the recipient. Is confirmed by the believer is made of a transfer mail server implement (4) for transmitting a reply message created by the receiver using the CGI execution unit attached to a message to the sender of the mail server, or mobile phone.

The e-mail carrying system of the present invention is a base station for transmitting a cell phone 8 of the sender for displaying a short message transmitted through the antenna of the base station and a message transmitted from the server (4) by modulating the message transmitted to the high frequency through the antenna (7) and a mobile communication terminal 6 for reading the short message from the server 4 and transmitting the short message to the caller's cellular phone 8 through the base station 7.

The terminals 1 and 2 are made of a general PC, and are connected to the Internet network 3 using a LAN, a modem, a cable, or the like.

The bounce mail implementation server 4 transmits the sender's email to the recipient's email receiving server 5, and sends a mail protocol such as SMTP or POP3 to send the recipient's bounce mail to the sender's email address. And a code assigning means 4a for assigning a caller unique code to personal information such as an e-mail address or a mobile phone number inputted by the caller through his terminal 1, and the personal information given the caller unique code. Database 4b for storing, and search engine means 4c for retrieving the personal information stored in the database 4b by the sender-specific code.

The code assigning means 4a and the search engine means 4c are executed by a CGI program embedded in the server 4, and the CGI program sends SMS to the cellular phone to enable a short message service. If the sender wants to receive the return mail from the mobile phone, the sender sends the reply message sent from the receiver to the sender's mobile number.

The email receiving server 5 is for delivering the email sent from the sender to the receiver. When the sender and the receiver use the same email server, the email receiving server 5 sends and receives mail only to the email address in one server. (5) becomes unnecessary.

As described above, the present invention assigns the sender's unique code to the sender's personal information (e-mail address or mobile phone number) by the code assigning means 4a, stores it in the database 4b, and then sends the mail to the CGI execution device and the sender. Send the unique code to the recipient server. In this case, the concept of the attachment may be understood as the concept of link.

Therefore, when the recipient checks the mail by using a web browser, composes a reply message (bounce mail) using the CGI execution device attached to the mail, and sends it back to the sender, the server 4 attaches to the bounce mail. If the sender unique code is recognized, the search engine means retrieves information about the sender previously stored in the database 4b by the search engine means 4C, and if the sender wants to receive a return mail by e-mail according to the information entered by the sender, To the address, if you want to receive it on your phone, it will be sent to that phone.

5 and 6 illustrate a control flow chart for implementing a return mail according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, a sender who wants to receive only a return mail of a recipient without exposing his or her e-mail address or a mobile phone number to a recipient is shown in FIG. The terminal 1 is connected to the site operated by the present invention, that is, the return mail implementing server 4 via the Internet network 3.

Next, the sender connected to the return mail implementing server 4 of the present invention composes a mail through the terminal 1, and at the request of the server 4, his or her information, that is, means and e-mail address for receiving the return mail, Enter your mobile phone number.

That is, if the sender wants to receive the return mail by e-mail, the e-mail address will be entered. Of course, you can choose both.

The server 4 assigns a caller unique code to the inputted caller information by the code assigning means 4a according to the inputted sender information and stores it in the database 4b.

The mail may be in the form of a document, an image, a voice, or a video file. In addition, the mail may be attached.

In addition, the server 4 attaches the sender-unique code and the CGI execution device to the mail which is created and input, and sends it to the email receiving server 5.

Next, when the recipient checks the mail received by his or her email receiving server 5, the mail is displayed on the receiver's monitor as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when the recipient writes the reply message in the reply message input window 12 using the CGI execution device and clicks the return button, the reply message is returned to the return mail implementing server 4 with the sender unique code attached. The return mail implementing server 4 recognizes the sender unique code attached to the reply message, retrieves the sender information corresponding to the sender unique code by the search engine means 4c, and then enters the information entered by the sender. You will be sent a return mail.

Therefore, the sender can check the reply message described in the return mail of the receiver through his or her terminal 1 or mobile phone 8.

In the present invention, the reply message of the receiver returned to the sender may be transmitted as a text message and a voice message, and in the case of the voice message, the sender may store the voice mail system 9 so that the sender can check the return mail by voice. .

As described above, the present invention uses the CGI execution apparatus attached to the sender's email, and thus only the message is written in the reply message input window and returned to the sender. Therefore, the receiver does not need to enter the sender's email address or mobile phone number. It also has the effect of not exposing the sender's own personal information, especially e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers, which are likely to be used for mischief or unnecessary purposes by others. It is a very convenient and useful invention that can be eliminated.
