Description

System and Method for Real-time Updating of E-Mail

The present invention relates to a system and method for updating e-mail in real time, and more particularly, to enable real-time updating of data without receiving new e-mail.

In general, as PCs are widely used and popularized, communication with these PCs has become more frequent. In other words, as the Internet and the like become active, e-mails are frequently sent and received by both parties. These e-mails are given their own e-mail addresses, and the e-mail addresses are used to exchange data with each other.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a user selects a service from a specific website 10 on the Internet, a content server 30, an e-mail sending unit 40, and receives a mail. 50, and the mail 60 received to be stored in this mail box 50. As shown in FIG. In such a system, a user who visits the website 10 finds the desired personalized service 20 and inputs the contents thereof. The user enters his or her e-mail address and receives various mails (60) in the mail box 50. ) Is received and stored.

By the way, the e-mail transmission and reception method that has been in operation up to now has a desired content (data) and transmits it to the corresponding recipient once, and if it wants to send new content to the same recipient again, separate data containing new content every time. Must be sent one by one, and the receiver must open it one by one.

Therefore, the sending or receiving mailing service transmits and receives several e-mails in the same place in one day, and the mail inbox is complicated.

Not only is it complicated to receive mails, but since e-mails are fundamentally one-way and static systems, mail senders and receivers cannot continuously change their services.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the code is written to enable real-time updates before sending the e-mail to the e-mail, and sent to the e-mail, the moment the opening e-mail and the server again The present invention provides a method for real-time updating of e-mails, which enables real-time updating of data and communication between senders and recipients without receiving new e-mails by allowing the screen and contents of previously sent mails to be reconstructed by communication. There is a purpose.

If not, step (P15) terminating the real-time update email system waiting for a new user's command (P15); It includes.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the user who visits the website 100 finds a desired customized service and selects the customized service 200. In this way, select the desired service, enter an address that can be received by e-mail, and the mail is sent to the entered address.

If it is determined that you did not enter an e-mail address, you will be prompted for one. In this way, the service code that provides the extracted user's desired service is generated. That is, the code generation unit 210 is generated as a code.

The mail is generated in the mail generation unit 220 as a complete form of mail including the generated code. The e-mail is sent with the e-mail created through the e-mail sending unit 230 and the e-mail address entered, and delivered to the recipient's mail box 240. At this time, the recipient receives his / her own mail. When the e-mail arrives at the mail inbox 240, the e-mail calls the server. When the call recognition unit 280 of the server accepts the e-mail, the code updating unit (see section), which manages the updating of code and all data ( 290). The code update unit, which has been contacted, receives the contents of the contents created so far from the content server 300, and delivers the codes and data produced so far in the mail.

Here, when the e-mail open recognition unit 260 that detects whether the recipient opened the mail confirms that the mail is opened, the web server is called. The server call unit 270 performs such a call operation. The server, which has been contacted by the server caller 270, accepts the call recognition unit 280, and transmits the updated code and data from the code updater 290, and the data receiver 310 receives it.

When the newly received contents are transferred to the screen reconstruction unit 320, the screen reconstruction unit 320 updates the screen.

At this time, it tries to display the new e-mail by determining whether the e-mail has been clicked or refreshed, otherwise closes the real-time update e-mail system waiting for a new user's command. .

On the other hand, if the mail containing the real-time update code is stored and executed by the user's request, the e-mail is opened and the user tries to display the contents on the screen. Check the connection with the server and the update of new code and data.

If the server call unit is instructed to find out whether or not it is connected to the server, the server call unit checks and, if not connected, displays the value immediately before termination on the screen.

If there is a connection to the server, the e-mail attempts to connect to the server, which activates the connection and the code updater prepares to send the current code and data.

The code updater retrieves the latest contents of the content server and prepares to send data, while searching for and sending codes necessary for e-mail.

Receiving the code and data from the server, the e-mail reconstructs the screen with the data and presents it to the recipient.

At this time, it is determined whether the e-mail has been clicked or refreshed again and attempts to display the new e-mail.

If not, it will exit the real-time update email system waiting for the new user's command.

In this way, the present invention completely breaks down the static part of the conventional e-mail system, thereby allowing the intimate interaction between the receiver and the sender. It can be modified and destroyed at the place where the mail contents are sent, so that the contents can be secured.
