The present invention relates to a method of providing information through a monograph service and a computer readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the method. In particular, the present invention provides information corresponding to a user through a monograph service in a wireless communication environment. The present invention relates to a method of providing information through a single professional service which provides corresponding information among various information in detail according to a user's request, and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

Short Mesage Service (SMS) refers to a short message service that can exchange short messages between wireless communication subscribers such as mobile phones.

The service allows digital mobile subscribers to send short sentences in Korean or English to other mobile subscribers and receive messages over public telephone networks, data communication networks or the Internet.

SMS can be sent to PC (Personal Computer) communication or the Internet to send messages to PCs (PCS), Cellular (Cellular) terminals, or vice versa to the Internet, and △ to each other. There are two main ways to send and receive.

In order to use SMS, a separate terminal is required and a message can be received even during a voice call. If the subscriber can not receive the message by turning off the power, he can save the transmitted data and check the message while the subscriber turns on the power again.

SMS is also called corporate SMS or group notification service. Unlike the services used by general customers to send messages, the company has expanded its use of SMS to companies in that they can simultaneously send a large amount of direct mail (DM) and bills for customer service. . Mobile phone service has the advantage of earning profits through SMS, which has stayed in value-added services by securing enterprise users with a large amount of message transmission.

SMS, which was previously only available to subscribers of the same company, is freely used for text messages between various wireless communication services, ranging from interworking and wireless calls to mobile phones, wireless data communications, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Can transmit and receive.

Using SMS technology, text messages can be sent and received up to 224 characters in English, and information services such as stock information and weather forecasts can be used. In addition, bank transactions such as bank transfer and electronic commerce are possible.

Basically, however, SMS is a form in which information is unilaterally provided to a user by an information provider. Therefore, when the user wants to obtain more detailed information or similar information about the short information he received, the user has to start again using another information medium. That is, although the terminal user can easily receive the short information through the PUSH, it is difficult to pull the detailed information based on the short information.

Due to the limitations of SMS in wireless communication and the desire for information acquisition by the user, the use of the wireless Internet is rapidly increasing.

Wireless Internet refers to a service that searches various information and e-commerce by accessing the Internet anytime and anywhere through a mobile phone.

The wireless Internet is characterized by overcoming the spatial constraints of the existing Internet environment, and is regarded as a second generation wireless data service.

When mobile phones were first introduced, mobile phones and PCs were completely separate entities, but with the emergence of wireless data, the two have gradually merged into one and have recently developed into wireless Internet.

Mobile phones are classified into built-in and non-built-in types depending on whether or not there is a web browser. The built-in type that allows users to enjoy all Internet services with mobile phones is becoming mainstream.

Using wireless internet services, a variety of application services such as cyber shopping, stock trading, banking, and life information are available, which is emerging as a hot issue not only in Korea but also in the world.

However, the use value of SMS is increasing again because wireless internet is not fast enough to meet user's needs, and the time and cost required for detailed information search are not easy.

However, as described above, SMS has a problem in that the contents are so simple that it is difficult to quench the thirst of information from the user's point of view, and the flow of information is fragmentary.

Of course, the wireless Internet connection with the information provider can be made at the request of the user, and based on the user's search efforts, the user can find the desired information. There was a problem that could not overcome the limitations.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, the mono-professional service that provides the detailed information desired by the user according to the feedback request of the user provided with the information through the mono-professional service (SMS) in a wireless communication environment It is an object of the present invention to provide a computer-readable recording medium recording a method for providing information and a program for realizing the method.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a system for providing a single expert service to which the present invention is applied.

Single Professional Service (SMS) is a service provided to a user's terminal in a wireless communication environment as described above.

Only professional services are provided by information providers, service providers, mobile carriers and users.

The information provider delivers the information he / she wants to provide to the service provider, which is made by the information input of the information provider who is transferred from the information provider's computing system to the service provider's system or connected to the service provider's system through the data communication network.

The service provider's system consists of an SMS Center (SMSC) as shown in the figure, with the SMS server and database as its axes. In this case, the service provider may integrate and service the instant messenger service and SMS.

IM (IM) service is becoming more and more important with the development of the Internet, and as mentioned above, the importance of SMS is again considered important in wireless data communication using a terminal.

The instant messenger service and SMS have considerable similarities in providing brief information, and the desire to make the instant messenger service available on both the wired and wireless Internet and the desire to expand the service area of SMS combine to provide an integrated service. Attempts are widespread.

Back to the service provider's system, the SMSC delivers the information that the information provider wants to send to the SMS through the data communication network, such as the Internet, to the mobile carrier's system.

The mobile communication company system includes a mobile switching center (MSC), a base station (BS), and the like. A mobile carrier does not refer to a specific cellular or PCS service provider but can be interpreted in a broad sense to allow a user to use a portable terminal. Figure 1 shows such a mobile communication company system characteristically.

The SMS information received from the service provider system through the data communication network is transmitted to the user's terminal in the mobile communication company system.

The user's terminal receives monotechnical service from the mobile communication system.

The present invention is made in such an environment, and basically, the terminal of the user who has received the specialized service is capable of voice communication or data communication.

The instant messenger will be described below.

The instant messenger service is one of the communication methods on the Internet, which combines electronic mail (E-mail), chat, pager, and multi-party simultaneous call functions. It is called 'Internet Note Service' in Korea.

The e-mail cannot be delivered until the other party opens it, but the instant message by the instant messenger service pops up on the other party's screen as soon as it is sent. In other words, you can communicate in real time like chat or phone.

Instant messages can send and receive messages in real time on the Internet, and can immediately check whether they receive them, and overcomes the limited e-mail function of real-time conversation.

The service lets you specify a buddy list of people you want to communicate with, and lets them know if they're connected to the Internet.

2 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a method for providing information through a single-specialized service according to the present invention.

Information providers such as news and securities deliver the information they want to provide to the service provider.

The service provider selects information to be provided to the service user by performing filtering based on the given search word. In this case, the search word may be determined by the service provider and may be determined by a user who receives a specialized service. Furthermore, a search word may be selected to select only the corresponding information based on the specific information of the user who will receive the mono-specialized service. Of course, in addition to providing a single professional service for any one individual, a search term may be selected for a specific group.

Filtering the information to be provided to the user using the given search word may correspond to a kind of reverse search. In other words, it can be a reverse search because it can provide only the information corresponding to the user based on the given search conditions.

The selected information is delivered as simple information to the user by a single professional service (SMS or IM-SMS). However, professional services cannot be provided indefinitely. Basically, the limit is about 255 characters, and there is a difficulty in multimedia processing. Therefore, the summary information is generally summarized.

When the user wants to know detailed information about the brief information checked through the terminal, the user may request to provide detailed information by pressing the Send key while the terminal checks the corresponding information. Of course, the name of the corresponding key may vary according to a terminal used by a user as an example of the Send key.

When a service provider receives detailed information about specific short-term information from a user, the service provider provides the information according to a given rule.

In the drawing, the voice-converted data for the single-text information provided to the users is stored and managed in a database, and the information is provided at the request of the user. The voice conversion may be performed by a text to speech (TTS) method, or may be converted into a human recording.

The request for detailed information on the short message from the user's terminal to the service provider can be divided into several forms.

First, make a call to a specific phone number based on the data attached to the short message, so that the user terminal can bind the terminal identification information and the short message identification information to the service system so that the service provider can provide the detailed information. It is.

Second, make a call to a specific phone number based on the data attached to the short message, recognize the user's terminal, check the short message sent to the terminal, and present it to the user. By selecting specific information, the service provider can provide detailed information.

Third, the user makes a call to a specific phone number based on the data attached to the short message, and the service provider provides a menu so that the user can find the short message provided to the user connected through the specific phone number. By determining the desired detailed information, the service provider can provide the detailed information. It's a kind of directory service.

Fourth, based on the data attached to the short message, a specific telephone number can be dialed and used in the same manner as using a search engine.

Fifth, the first through the fourth case may be connected through a predetermined telephone number such as a mobile communication service provider, a single professional service provider or an information provider, rather than a specific telephone number attached to a single message.

Sixth, the above scheme can be processed in the form of data rather than voice. That is, it can be processed by searching and confirming in the display window of the user terminal. For example, the detailed information transmitted through SMS may be connected to a corresponding server through a wireless Internet service such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) or ME (Mobile Explorer).

Seventh, the service user may directly identify the corresponding detailed information about the user's detailed information request or may be identified by the service provider in the manner described above and provided as a continuous single-specialized service.

In addition, the mono-professional service providing system receives a selection from the user in the corresponding list (312), extracts the detailed information converted into voice for the selected mono-special information from the database (313), and extracts the extracted detailed voice information from the terminal. Provided to the user through 314. At this time, if there are a lot of lists of monograph information provided to the user, since simple selection is difficult, the type list is checked and the corresponding detailed information is extracted by narrowing down the range as described below. Here, a search structure using a tree may be provided in a menu form.

If it is determined that there is a list of the short-term information provided to the user, and if there is no list of the short-term information provided to the user, the short-term service providing system provides a list of types of the short-term service provided to the unspecified service users. The user is requested to select a corresponding type among them (310). The short-term professional service providing system selects a corresponding type from the user and provides the short-term professional list to the user within a predetermined number of ranges (311). Here, the short list is shortened to a predetermined number so that the user can easily find the list, which may be selected by the user in a tree manner. That is, a menu is continuously provided within a corresponding range, and a short list of monographs is extracted based on a user's selection.

In this way, the single-specialized service providing system receives a selection from the user from the list provided to the user (312), and extracts detailed information converted into voice from the database for the single-specialized information selected by the user (313).

The professional service providing system provides the extracted detailed voice information to the user through the terminal (314).

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining another embodiment of a method for providing information through a single expert service according to the present invention; FIG.
