Description

Advertising method using wireless pager {Method For Advertisement Using A Pager}

The present invention relates to an advertising method using a wireless pager.

A typical pager provides a message delivery function to a user.

That is, the pager holder notifies that the message has been received through voice, vibration, or light emitting device, and displays the received number or message for a certain time and returns to the main screen, but displays a message indicating that the message has been received. Left.

When the user sees an indication that a message has been received and wants to confirm the received message, the user operates the confirmation key. That is, when the confirmation key is operated by the user, the pager displays the next received message and then displays the next received message when the confirmation key for confirming the next received message is input within a predetermined time. If the confirmation key for confirming the received message is not input, the main screen is displayed.

As described above, in the conventional wireless pager, the user can confirm the telephone number or the message directly received by the user by displaying the telephone number or the message received through the LCD.

However, in order to check a phone number or a message directly received by the eye, as described above, a separate display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) is required, thereby increasing the unit cost for making a pager. There is a problem that the cost of purchasing is increased by that much.

In addition, since the conventional wireless pager includes a liquid crystal display device (LCD), there is a problem that many restrictions are required in miniaturization because the volume is increased and the size should be visible.

In addition, the conventional wireless pager as described above has a problem in that it uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) as a means for displaying only a received phone number or a message but does not have a separate function.

In addition, the conventional wireless pager as described above has a problem that there is no method for providing an advertisement using the wireless pager.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, to omit the message display device to the pager to reduce the size of the pager and to listen to the advertisement for a certain time when the user makes a call to check the message of the pager, Its purpose is to provide an advertising method using a wireless pager.

Figure 2 is a flow diagram of an embodiment of an advertising method using a pager according to the present invention.

Figure 3 is another embodiment of a method of advertising using a pager in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 4 is an example of a wireless pager used in the advertising method using the pager according to the present invention.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an advertisement method using a wireless pager applied to a wireless calling system, comprising: a first step of storing an advertisement provided by an advertisement provider; A second step of receiving a request for confirmation of the message from a user who receives a message through a wireless pager provided by a wireless calling service provider storing the advertisement; A third step of providing the advertisement stored in the first step for several seconds through the telephone when the request is made; And a fourth step of providing a result according to the message confirmation request of the user after the advertisement is provided.

In other words, once the called party receives a call, he or she can go to a public phone and put his coin to know who the caller is, except for a very special person (lover). Since it is a wireless call receiver having a plurality of call indication generation control signals, only messages from specific persons can be confirmed through the pager, and other callers can only know through telephone.

However, in existing pagers, who made the call is shown in detail in the LCD (hereinafter simply referred to as "LCD"), and no one will try to find out while putting his coin into a public telephone.

To do this, the pager provider provides a second telephone advertisement. At this time, the pager operator receives an advertising fee from an advertisement provider, and allows the called party to check the telephone number for free with the advertising cost. Advertisers are also expected to pay for their advertising by spending a certain amount of advertising costs, so they can expect the effect of advertising.

For example, you have a 1800 (Toll Free) number so you can get voice messages for free. Doing so can reduce the cost of using a pager, as compared to the existing pager market, and can increase the cost of advertising, depending on how often you use the pager and the number of people using it. .

This service is possible in the present invention because it limits the performance of the pager (LCD screen) for the purpose of telephone advertisement and at the same time a plurality of call indications.

By creating such an environment, the called party can receive a very special person (a lover) or a password given by the called person (the password can be divided into two, one for lovers and one for important people). Except for only the caller who knows who the caller is, it's inconvenient to hear the call and the inconvenience, but you can use the pager at a very low price or for free. That would be to maximize advertising effectiveness for advertisers.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a wireless call system to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in the figure, the wireless call system to which the present invention is applied includes an advertisement provider 101 to provide an advertisement, a wireless pager operator 102 operating a wireless pager business, a wireless pager 103 of a user, and a wireless caller. It consists of a telephone 104 capable of acknowledging messages and a network 105 for communication and relay between all these components. In this case, the network refers to a wireless network when the user uses a wireless pager, but otherwise refers to both a wireless network and a wired network.

The pager operator provides the pager 103 to the users free of charge, and the advertisement provider 101 when the user accesses the pager operator system 102 using the telephone 104 to check the received message. Allow the user to listen to the advertisement provided by the user for a predetermined time.

That is, the pager operator operates the wireless pager business by receiving an advertisement fee in exchange for providing the advertisements provided by the advertisement providers 101 to the users, while the users receive and use the terminals provided by the pager for free. If a message is received, the pager can be used free of charge in exchange for listening to the advertisement.

2 is a flow chart of an embodiment of an advertisement method using a pager according to the present invention.

The pager operator receives the advertisement from the advertisement provider 101 and stores it in the system 102 (202).

In this case, the wireless pager is provided to the users at a free or low price (204).

The user having the pager is informed of the receipt of the message from the pager (206). At this time, since the pager does not have an LCD screen, it is not possible to know who the caller is through a phone number or a text message. However, the ringer of the pager can determine who the caller is. In other words, you can select at least two ringtones, and make a wrong password for each ringtone. A user can distinguish between a specific person and a non-specific person, and provide a different password, so that a ringtone is called by a specific person and a non-specific person. In this case, in addition to the ringtone, a method of changing the color of the light emitting device that notifies the reception of the message according to the password may be used.

By changing the ringtone as described above, the user can know the call signal of a specific person, but can not distinguish the signal of a number of people who are not specified, so after receiving a message, the user calls the pager system 102. Confirmation must be made (208).

When the user makes a call to the pager operator system 102, the user receives an advertisement for a predetermined time via the telephone (210). In other words, the user can use the telephone cost and pager for free or at a low price in exchange for receiving the advertisement.

After receiving the advertisement, the user checks the received message by using a conventional pager (212). At this time, even when the caller presses the number when leaving the phone number, the user may be able to know the caller's number by voice when the user checks the contents of the call.

3 is a flowchart illustrating yet another embodiment of an advertisement method using a pager according to the present invention.

The pager operator receives the advertisement from the advertisement provider 101, stores it in the system 102 (302), and provides the user with the pager at a free or low price (304), the process of FIG. Same as (202,204).

The user with the pager is notified of the receipt of the message from the pager (306). At this time, since the pager does not have an LCD screen, it is not possible to know who the caller is through a phone number or a text message, and it is possible to determine who the caller is through the ringer of the pager. However, what is distinguished from the radio call reception process 206 described in FIG. 2 is that an advertisement comment provided by the advertisement provider 101 is provided for several seconds before providing the call ringtone as described above (306). That is, after the advertisement is provided, it is possible to determine who the caller is by making a different ringtone according to the caller as described in FIG. 2 (306). Subsequent processes 308 to 312 are the same as the processes 208 to 212 described with reference to FIG. 2.

Another wireless call reception method 306 is as follows. That is, in this case, an LCD screen is present and an e-mail can be received and a short advertisement text can be displayed together with the e-mail (306). Of course, the caller's phone number is not displayed on the LCD screen, and the caller can determine who the caller is through the ringer or the light emitting device. Therefore, the following steps (308 to 312) and the steps (208 to 212) described with reference to FIG. same.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless pager used in an advertisement method using a wireless pager according to the present invention, and showing a wireless pager that can be used in the method described in FIG.

The shape of the wireless pager applied to the present invention may be the same as a conventional wireless pager, but since the present semiconductor technology is already using a watch or a bracelet as a pager, it may be further developed into a small shape such as a ring. I think there will be. However, at this point in time, a pager of the size of the quadrant palm 1 is considered the most practical and economical. In terms of performance, it can be much more versatile than a bracelet or watch.

That is, except for preventing the user (caller) from receiving the caller's telephone number or E-mail directly for the purpose of advertising the phone can have all the performance of the existing pager, there is no significant difference from the conventional pager structure.

However, the configuration of the wireless pager for effectively using the function according to the present invention will be described.

Once this pager does not have an LCD screen that knows the caller's number in terms of the functionality of the present invention for the purpose of a second telephone advertisement. However, there is a large receiving button 401 that can stop the call signal on the square pager, the switching button 402, voice selection button 403, power to change the call signal to the vibration or sound in the outer or lower portion It consists of a button 404, a space for a battery and a small speaker.

There is a method that can utilize the simplified pager as described above. In other words, it is to cover the wireless pager using a hollow doll with a doorway that can be put in and out of the wireless pager having the structure as described above with a rubber band.

Existing pagers were difficult to overwrite the entire pager because of the user's view of the LCD screen. However, there is no problem in covering the pager with a doll because of the structure and performance of the present invention. There is no LCD screen anyway.

Therefore, pressing the belly portion of the doll is to press the receiving button 401 of the pager as shown in the figure to turn off the call signal. The reason why the receiving button (401) to turn off the call signal is made large in order to widen the contact area with the belly of the doll. That is, the present invention is to turn off the sound or vibration of the pager when pressing the belly as opposed to the doll that makes a sound when pressing the belly.

The thickness of the doll should be adjusted so as not to be too thick to feel the vibration.

In addition, since the structure of the pager for applying the method described in FIG. 3 does not differ from the conventional structure, its description is omitted.

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.

As described above, the present invention can use a pager for free or at a very low price from the user's point of view, and can distinguish only special calls from lovers or people who know the password, and calls that are not considered important are There is an excellent effect that can be ignored.

In addition, the present invention has a great effect in terms of the utilization of the pager operator and the advertisement provider can create a new advertising method.
