Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for continuously updating mail message is provided to enable a user to receive an updated mail after once receiving the mail message by updating the mail periodically. CONSTITUTION: A receiver receives a mail message through a process of registering a sender. The sender(2) transmits the mail to a mail server(3), the mail server transmits the mail to the receiver(1), and the receiver reads the mail. The receiver requests the mail message update. The request of mail message update is processed by an STMP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server of receiver or sender. If a web mail server recognizes the receiver as a registered user after receiving the request, the web mail server transmits the message appointed by the mail receiver or the updated message to the receiver through the SMTP server. The computer of receiver makes the receiver see the updated mail message in the same message by updating or in separate message.

Description

Email message being updated continuously}

The current web page is configured in such a way that the Internet homepage operator updates the contents and the Internet user accesses the site to view the updated contents. E-mail sends certain mail messages to the recipients, who then view, save, or delete the messages.

Due to the development of the network, the Internet is always connected to the Internet through dedicated lines such as adsl. This makes it easier to update mail messages. Sending a mail message to a recipient once and then reading it, saving it, or deleting it is useful in this era. The web is a form in which a user accesses a web page to view contents. In contrast, the present invention provides a web format in which an Internet user receives a mail message once, and the contents are regularly updated so that the user receives the updated contents. And a compromise form of mail.

Recipients receive mail messages and configure them to continue to be updated.

However, mail messages allow you to see a summary of what is being updated.

Update the content of your mail messages and make it easy to save them.

Sometimes an email message is configured to keep changing. However, it uses graphical animation or Java programs.

The sender's webmail computer becomes a server and automatically receives the receiver's update request and sends the desired information back to the receiver.

1 is a diagram illustrating a role played by each computer according to the present invention between a computer of a mail sender, a computer of a mail receiver, and a mail SMTP server.

Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration for updating a mail message employing the present invention on a mail client program.

Mail message constantly updated

Email is a means of data transmission using the UDP protocol. That is, when a mail sender sends a message, the receiver receives it, reads it, and stores or deletes it. Unlike TCP / IP, once data is sent, it is disconnected.

However, the present invention is configured such that the contents of the message received once by the receiver are continuously updated as the Internet homepage operator updates. Description of this configuration is the same as FIG.

1 is the client computer of the email recipient, 2 is the sender's computer, and 3 is the mail server. The receiver receives the message of the present invention by registering with the sender. The sender 2 then transmits to the mail server 3 (4). The mail server sends this message to the receiver 1. The receiver reads this message. 2 through 11 are mail message lists, and 12 indicates messages that the current user has highlighted and made visible in the message window 13. When the message is highlighted or the mail message is clicked to display the message in full screen, the destination client makes a request to update / send (hereinafter referred to as 'mail message update request') as shown in 6 of FIG. . This request is made through the sender's smtp server or the destination's smtp server. When such a request is forwarded to the sender's server (hereinafter referred to as the 'webmail server') and the recipient 1 is recognized as a registered user, the message is updated on that date or specified by the mail recipient 1 It also sends to the recipient's computer through the smtp server. The client computer sends these updated mail messages to the client computer's mail client program at 1,

-Update on the same message for the user to view,

-Or receive it as a separate message.

In order to first check whether the contents of the updated mail message are desired by the user, the message header is first received, and then the rest of the body is received through the processes of 6 to 9 of FIG. 1.

In a configuration similar to the present invention, when the recipient of FIG. 1 sends an e-mail message to a server, the sender e-mail address is recognized and automatically logged in, and the user stores the desired contents in the user account home directory and configures the user to view. can do.

Means to update

As means for updating the mail message of the present invention,

This is done by notifying the webmail server that the recipient of FIG. 1 wishes to view a mail message. This includes displaying a message in full screen to view the mail message,

How to highlight a mail message in a message list,

When notifying a mail message to a webmail server, a particular message may be sent in a specific manner. The third method may include requesting specific data according to a method defined in the message, requesting default data, and the like.

Means for storing message content

If configured as in the present invention, the message cannot be stored. These solutions include a method of storing through a mail client according to a general method, and a method of attaching a save button on a mail message to store on a client computer through programming.

Webmail server

In the present invention, the sender performs a server role as a webmail server. The web mail server receives a mail message update request from the recipient computer or mail client program, analyzes the mail header or sender, and sends the updated mail message.

If the mail recipient has deleted the first mail message in FIG. 1, this updated mail message takes over again.

Etc

In a configuration similar to the present invention, when a mail comes from the same sender on the mail client program, the mail message that has been previously sent may be deleted, replaced, or stored in another folder. A method of causing a new mail message to come is a method of requesting a mail message update as shown in 6 of FIG. 1.

The web site has all the information together and the user has to search for it. Once a mail message is received, it is no longer updated. Web pages can be configured to update the information the user wants, but this requires a lot of site administrators and administrators as web servers, and must log in one by one. In contrast, the present invention does not need to log in.

If a mail message is continuously updated in a single message window on the client, or if the client requests a new message to receive the updated message from the sender again,

-Receive new mail every time, no need to delete or save

-It is more convenient than entering the mail service's homepage and applying for subscription cancellation to receive, delete or unscribe the unread mail every time.

When the recipient sends the e-mail message to the server, the recipient recognizes the sender's e-mail address and logs in automatically. The configuration that stores the user's contents in the user account home directory and allows the user to view the contents is not stored even by the user. In this case, it requires a lot of hard disk capacity. On the other hand, the present invention requires little cost for network operation for the Internet service provider to operate the database and allow the user to access the Internet.
