Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for matching between sending condition and receiving condition, messaging method and a system thereof are provided to send a message to those who want to receive the message, and receive a desired message. CONSTITUTION: In a server, MMTS(Match Message Transfer Server), message recipients in advance establish their individual profiles and preference criteria for determining which providers' messages the recipients are interested in. Any user who has subscribed to the above MMTS can be a message provider and/or a message recipient. To the above MMTS server a user sends a message including a receiving criterion for determining which recipients should receive their messages from the viewpoint of the provider. And then the MMTS server compares recipients' individual profiles and preference criteria with the provider's receiving criterion in the way of bit pattern matching. Preferably, only the modified header part of the message is distributed to matching recipients. Additionally, recipients' individual profiles and preference criteria and providers' receiving criteria should be converted into bit patterns and stored in a database for archives or in a matching queue for comparison.

Description

Transmitting / receiving condition matching method, message transmission method by the method and system implementing the same {METHOD FOR MATCHING BETWEEN SENDING CONDITION AND RECEIVING CONDITION, MESSAGING METHOD AND SYSTEM THEREOF}

Exemplary conventional Internet-based message transmission and reception methods include e-mail and instant messaging. The conventional method of transmitting and receiving a message uses an address, a designated number, or a name defined and assigned by a standardization institution or a specific company for transmitting and receiving a message.

Such an address, designated number or name (hereinafter referred to as address) consists of a combination of letters and / or numbers. In addition, in a service such as a mailing list, a message is transmitted and received between a plurality of users based on an e-mail address. That is, the conventional Internet-based message transmission and reception method has a feature of communicating between a plurality of users based on an address.

As described above, the conventional Internet-based message transmission / reception method does not necessarily deliver a message without knowing the user's address, even though the user needs to deliver the message because the address is necessarily known. There is this. In addition, there is a problem in that a message sent by a user who knows his or her address cannot but receive a message that is not desired or necessary.

The problem of the conventional Internet-based message transmission and reception method will be described by way of example. In a conventional message transmission method, an address of an unspecified user is required for a user who is a TV seller to send a TV promotion message to unspecified users who are willing to purchase a TV.

However, since there is no way to extract only the addresses of users who are willing to purchase TV among unspecified users, there is a problem in that they cannot deliver the message or unnecessarily deliver the message to all users, which is regarded as a spam message.

In the conventional message receiving method, there is a problem in that a user who wants to purchase a TV receives all messages from other users who know his or her address even if he / she wants to receive only messages about a TV product of a manufacturer or a price he / she wants.

In addition, in a general web mail service, the capacity of a received mail is often limited to a user. In this case, when mails having the same contents are transmitted to a plurality of users, duplicate contents are stored in a message box which is a mail space of each user, thereby preventing the efficient use of hardware resources.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to set a reception condition that defines a message that each of a plurality of users want to receive, and to set and send a transmission condition when composing a message, the transmission condition and the reception condition are matched. In this case, the present invention provides a message transmission system and method by transmitting and receiving condition matching for transmitting and receiving a message between users.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for systematically matching a transmission condition and a reception condition.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message transmission system and method by transmitting and receiving condition matching for transmitting and receiving a message systematically matched with a transmission condition and a reception condition to a corresponding user.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message transmission system based on a transmission / reception condition match that enables an information brokerage service capable of transmitting and receiving a message without specifically requiring a user address and reflecting the intention of the sender and / or the receiver. To provide a way.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message transmission system according to a transmission / reception condition match, in which a user can receive specific information corresponding to the reception condition without having to surf the Internet in order to collect specific information if only the reception condition is set; To provide a way.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message transmission system and method that can provide efficient use of limited hardware resources by providing mail itself according to a user's choice, after providing only a mail header to a user. Can provide.

The present invention relates to an Internet-based message transmission system and method for enabling information brokerage services among a plurality of users.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail to describe the present invention, and detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings to assist in understanding the present invention.

1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of a message transmission and reception service system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a message transmission / reception service system includes an Internet terminal (100a, ..., 100h, hereinafter referred to as 100), a match message transfer system (hereinafter referred to as MMTS) 105a, 105b, 105c, Hereinafter referred to as 105 in parallel).

The user may be provided with a message transmission / reception service by matching transmission / reception conditions according to the present invention by using the MMTS 105 to the Internet terminal 100 through an Internet communication network.

The Internet terminal 100 is preferably a device capable of transmitting and receiving messages based on the Internet, such as a computer, a wireless terminal supporting the Internet, and an Internet TV. In addition, if the Internet communication network is based on the Internet Protocol (IP), both wired and wireless networks can be applied.

In order to implement the present invention, an Internet protocol providing an interface supporting various graphics as well as text may be used when using the Internet network, and a specific place may be used when using a cellular or PCS that wirelessly supports access to the Internet. Regardless, there is an advantage that the implementation according to the present invention is possible.

The MMTS 105 stores the reception conditions set by the receivers. To this end, the MMTS 105 preferably includes a plurality of message boxes MBOX and a match index DB 123.

A user using the MMTS 105 may send or receive messages by matching transmission conditions and reception conditions or by user address. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a transmitting user will be referred to as a sender and a receiving user as a receiver.

The transmission and reception of a message by matching a transmission / reception condition is performed by sending and writing a message content together with the transmission condition, and using the stored reception condition to deliver the message to a receiver whose reception condition matches the transmission condition.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reception condition and the transmission condition may be set using a natural language processing algorithm, not directly set by the user. Specifically, when a user inputs a text string, the MMTS 105 may automatically set a reception condition and a transmission condition by extracting a word corresponding to a preset condition field and / or field value using a natural language processing algorithm. .

One MMTS 105 repeats the same process by simultaneously transmitting a message sent by the sender to another MMTS 105. Through this process, the message can be delivered to all the receivers whose transmission conditions and reception conditions match in the entire message transmission / reception service system including the MMTS 105. A method of matching a specific transmission condition and a reception condition will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 11A through 12B below.

The message transmission / reception service based on the MMTS 105 according to the present invention may be applied to various types of information brokering services according to transmission / reception conditions. Examples of information brokerage services include shopping, secondhand transactions, information provision, consulting, hobbies / meetings, and the like. Each service type will be described in detail.

As one embodiment of the information brokerage service for shopping, household appliances purchase and sale service may be applied. In this case, the reception condition and the transmission condition are preferably configured to include the product, the purpose (to buy, sell), the manufacturer, the item, the specification, the price, the period of use, the condition, and the like.

The above products include TVs, VTRs, DVDs, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, camcorders, audio, lighting equipment, cameras, and the like. The user can select a product to buy and sell, and the product selected by the user can be used to specify a group of people who wish to trade the product.

When the user selects a refrigerator among the products, the item may include a wide door opening, a kimchi refrigerator, a freezer, a store, a vehicle, and the like, to allow the user to expand the range of choice.

In addition, it is more preferable to provide the message content evaluation of another user with the transmission and reception conditions as a match grade item, or to increase the reliability of the transaction by including a real name authentication item.

When the seller composes a message with the above transmission condition and transmits it to the MMTS 105, the MMTS 105 detects the buyer corresponding to the reception condition that matches the transmission condition, and sends the message written by the seller to the detected persons. Can deliver.

On the contrary, when the purchaser composes a message with the above transmission condition and transmits it to the MMTS 105, the MMTS 105 may deliver the message created by the buyer to the seller corresponding to the reception condition that matches the transmission condition. . The purchase intention and the sales intention are matched with the transmission and reception conditions, and the buyer and the seller can exchange messages.

As an embodiment of the information providing service, the bid information providing service may be applied. In this case, the reception condition and the transmission condition are preferably configured to include the bidding type, ordering place, bidding time and the like.

When the information provider prepares a bid related message with the above transmission condition, the bid related message may be delivered to the information consumer corresponding to the reception condition that matches the transmission condition.

Conversely, if the information consumer creates a bid related inquiry message with the above transmission condition, the bid related inquiry message can be delivered to the information provider corresponding to the reception condition that matches the transmission condition.

As an embodiment of the consulting service, medical consulting service may be applied. In this case, it is preferable that the reception condition and the transmission condition include a medical field, a disease name, a consulting method, and the like. When the consulting provider prepares the consulting related information message with the above transmission condition, the consulting related information message may be delivered to the consulting consumer corresponding to the reception condition that matches the transmission condition.

Conversely, if the consulting consumer creates a consulting request message with the above transmission conditions, the consulting request message may be delivered to the consulting provider corresponding to the reception conditions that match the transmission conditions.

As an example of a service corresponding to a hobby or a meeting, a service that arranges to meet a heterosexual friend may be applied. In this case, the reception condition and the transmission condition are preferably configured to include the sex, height, personality, age, style, occupation, and residence of the person and the other party. If the transmission and reception conditions match, the message can be exchanged between the corresponding man and woman.

In the information providing service, the consulting service, and the hobby / meeting service, it is preferable to provide a user's convenience by setting a plurality of items desirable for each service providing, as in the case of providing the shopping service.

A method of transmitting and receiving a message by a user address is a method of directly transmitting a message by using information of the sender who sent the message when the sender's message is delivered to a receiver corresponding to a reception condition that matches the transmission condition. .

This is possible by inserting the head of the message written by the receiver directly into the sender's message box. According to the above method, the user can specify who will receive his message without setting a separate transmission condition.

Therefore, in the above-described various embodiments of the present invention, the reception condition preferably includes receiver information that is the personal information of the receiver, and the transmission condition preferably includes sender information that is the personal information of the sender.

In addition, when matching the reception condition and the transmission condition, it is possible to determine whether a match is made by comparing only the constant condition fields in the reception condition with the constant condition field of the transmission condition.

2 is a diagram conceptually showing an information brokerage business service, such as shopping, information provision, consulting, etc. based on the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, an information broker may collect a seller, an information provider, a consulting provider, and perform a corresponding service by using the MMTS 105c thereof. The seller, the information provider, the buyer corresponding to the consulting provider, the information consumer, and the consulting requesters are preferably users of the existing portal site, and the service can be used in the MMTS 105a and 105b provided by the portal site.

Based on the message transmission and reception service system and method according to the present invention, information brokers and portal sites can provide various information brokerage services to various users. Detailed description of each is the same as described with reference to Figure 1 will be omitted.

3 is a diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of the MMTS in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the MMTS 105a includes a service schema server 110, a match server 120, and a message processing server 130. Each server is preferably installed to operate on one or more computers according to the needs of the operator, such as business expansion.

The role of each server is outlined as follows.

The service schema server 110 records and manages basic settings for services to be built based on the MMTS 105a. In particular, it plays a role of recording and managing, including the number of condition fields of a specific service, the name and type of the condition field, the identification code type, the match type, and the like. The match type is used interchangeably with the match type.

The match server 120 indexes and stores the reception conditions set by the user based on the condition field and the match type in the service schema server 110.

When the transmission message is transmitted, it is determined whether there is a matching reception condition among transmission conditions and stored reception conditions of the transmission message. As a result of the determination, if there is a reception condition matching the transmission condition, the message processing server 130 transmits the address of the user's message box of the corresponding reception condition.

The message processing server 130 enables a user to use at least one message box and to set reception conditions of each message box. In addition, the user can compose a message with a transmission condition, and the transmission condition is transmitted to the match server 120 to perform a matching process or to another MMTS 105b.

The role of each server is explained in more detail as follows.

The service schema server 110 includes a service schema manager 111 and a service schema database 112.

The service schema manager 111 enables the MMTS 105a administrator to create, delete, or change a service, and specific settings related to the service, for example, the number of condition fields of a specific service, the name and type of a condition field, and an identification code. It is desirable to be able to create, delete, or change types, match types, and so on.

The service schema database 112 stores contents set in the service schema manager 111.

A process processed by the service schema server 110 will be described by way of example. When the MMTS 105a manager wants to establish a service called 'home appliance product commerce', the manager establishes a service called 'home appliance product commerce' using the service schema manager 111.

In addition, the administrator may set four fields of 'product', 'manufacturer', 'standard', and 'price' as a specific condition field of 'home appliance transaction' using the service schema manager 111.

The administrator uses the service schema manager 111 to define a match type as 'product', 'manufacturer', and 'standard' as a match method by identification code, and 'price' as a match method by numerical comparison. It is desirable to.

For example, the manufacturer may assign an identification code of LG as '00001' and a Samsung identification code as '00010' to enable a matching method using an identification code by AND or OR operation when matching transmission and reception conditions.

The match type or match type according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an Exact match that sets and matches an identification code, a Range match which is a general match method, a keyword match, and the like. Description of each will be described later. For example, each setting item using the aforementioned service schema manager 111 is stored in the service schema database 112.

Match server 120 includes a match index manager 121, a match processor 122, and a match index database 123.

The match index manager 121 stores reception conditions set by the user as an index table in the match index database 123 based on the condition field and the match type defined in the service schema server 110. In the description of the embodiment according to the present invention, the index of each condition field of the reception condition is called the first identification code, and the combination of the index of each condition field of the reception condition is called the first bit combination. The first bit combination of the plurality of reception conditions is stored in the match index DB 123 in the form of an index table.

The match processor 122 searches the index table of the reception condition stored in the match index database 123 using the message transmission condition as a key, and processes the message box addresses of users corresponding to the index of the reception condition that matches the transmission condition. Send to server 130. In the embodiment according to the present invention, the index of each field of the transmission condition is called the second identification code, and the combination of the index of each condition field of the transmission condition is called the second bit combination.

In the match index database 123, a reception condition of a user is stored in an index table, and a message box address of a user corresponding to the index is also stored. The match index database 123 may be established by a general database system such as Oracle or SQL server, but preferably, a match dedicated database system developed separately. The description on the case where it is built by a general database system is omitted.

The message processing server 130 includes a message browser 131, a web server 132, a message transceiving processor 133, a message manager 134, a message database 135, and a message store 139.

The message browser 131 is a part that provides a user with an interface provided through the Internet and related functions, and is made of HTML, a script, and a programming language that operates on the Internet. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the message browser 131 be applied to various types of Internet terminals that support Internet terminal standards such as WAP and CHTML.

The web server 132 utilizes a general web server that supports Internet standards such as Microsoft and Netscape.

The message transceiving processor 133 transmits the reception condition set by the user to the match server 120 and stores the received condition as an index in the match index database 123. In addition, the transmission condition set by the sender and the message created by the sender are transmitted to the message manager 134 which will be described later. The message with the transmission condition that the user wants to transmit is forwarded to another MMTS 105b or forwarded to the message manager 134 for forwarding to other users of its MMTS 105a. The message transmitted from the other MMTS 105b is transferred to the message manager 134 for processing.

The message manager 134 generates a message box corresponding to the selected service when the user selects a specific service to receive a service based on a transmission / reception condition match. The reception condition set by the user in the message box generation process is transmitted to the message transmission / reception processor 133 and stored in the match index DB 123 of the match server. It is preferable to further provide an interface for setting detailed conditions of the user reception condition after the message box is generated.

When the message manager 134 receives the transmission message with the transmission condition from the message transmission / reception processor 133, the message manager 134 inserts the transmission condition into the match queue 140 and transmits the transmission condition to the match server 120. The transmission condition put into the match queue 140 is classified into fields through the match processor 122 of the match server 120, and specific condition fields are converted into an identification code to compare with the contents of the match index database 123. The bit combination of the predefined standard is reconstructed so that the search can be performed. The match server 120 detects recipients corresponding to a reception condition that matches the transmission condition, and transmits corresponding message box addresses of the recipients detected as a result of the matching process to the message manager 134.

The message manager 134 stores the header information of the message in a message box corresponding to the message box address received from the match server 120. The contents of the message and the attached file are preferably stored in the message storage 139 separate from the header information.

When the header information is stored in the message box of the user (receiver) meeting the transmission condition, and the receiver accesses his message box on the web page, the stored message header information can be read. The header information preferably includes, but is not limited to, information of the sender of the message, for example, the sender's name, subject, gender, age, and the like. In addition, the message header information may include connection information about the location of the body of the message, the attachment, and the like.

When the user selects the title of the message among the header information of the message on the web page, it is preferable that the message content corresponding to the header information is detected from the message store 139 so that the user can view it.

As a result, a message can be transmitted between senders and receivers without additional information for specifying a user such as an e-mail address, and a message is delivered to a plurality of recipients as one actual message. In case of congestion, there is an effect that can solve the problem of the capacity and transmission traffic of this mail server.

The connection information on the location of the body of the message, the attached file, and the like is generated as the connection information connecting the header and the message content by creating an actual message table 137. It is desirable to utilize.

In this case, the header information includes the sender information, the subject, and the connection information, and the connection information on the actual message table has the message contents stored in the message store 139 and the location information of the attached file.

By utilizing the actual message table 137, the message box has only the header information to be displayed on the web page to the user, and accesses the actual message location information only when the user selects the message header to be viewed.

The direct message table 138 stores connection information necessary when a direct message is transmitted between the senders and receivers without comparing the transmission and reception conditions. That is, the direct message table 138 is where the header information of the sent message and the connection information for connecting the actual message stored in the message store are stored in the message box of the specified user.

The case of transmitting a message without comparing the transmission / reception conditions between the transmitter and the receiver is a case in which the user transmits the message by using information that can directly identify the user, for example, an ID and a nickname. Even when the receiver receives the sender's message and sends a reply to the message as a message, it is preferable to use the message table 138 directly because the recipient can specify the recipient.

The message database 135 is a database in which a user's message box is implemented. Message database 135 may be implemented in a number of ways. For example, the message box table 136, the actual message table 137, and the direct message table 138 described above may be implemented and provided to the user in the form of a message box through an interface of the message browser 131.

The message box table 136 is a collection of message boxes assigned to users by service. Each user's message box stores a message header corresponding to a transmission condition that matches the user's reception condition. Accordingly, match server 120 preferably provides the user's message box address as a result of the match process. A user's message box is created by selecting Create user's 'match folder' on a web page.

The actual message table 137 and the direct message table 138 are tables with connection information connecting the message header and the message content, and the storage information and the use thereof are as described above.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the type and number of tables implementing the message box can be variously implemented.

The message store 139 is a storage device that stores contents of a message written by a sender and attachments that a sender wishes to provide to a receiver. The message content and the attached file are preferably stored to be detectable by the connection information included in the message header. The message store 139 may be stored using a general database system, but is preferably stored in the form of a file.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a reception condition by a user according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In each step to be described later, it is recommended that the user use the functions of the system according to the present invention through an interface provided by the web server 132 and the message browser 131 of the MMTS 105 using the Internet terminal 100. desirable.

Referring to FIG. 4, in step 400, the MMTS 105 receives access information including an ID and a password from a user, and then performs a user authentication procedure in step 405. Since the user authentication procedure is a general matter, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step 410, a user who is allowed to access selects a specific service using the provided interface and selects or writes desired reception conditions in a reception condition setting form provided for the specific service. This reception condition consists of several condition fields, and the user can set at least one value for each field. The reception condition setting form and condition fields may vary for each service.

For example, step 410 will be described in detail. If the user selects a message service related to 'finding the right friend' based on the service selection information displayed on the screen of the user's Internet terminal 100, the user can identify himself and his potential. The other party's height, personality, age, style, occupation and region of residence can be set as reception conditions.

Service selection will be described with reference to the service selection screen of FIG. 5 and reception condition setting with reference to the reception condition setting screen of FIG. 6.

5 is an exemplary view illustrating a service selection screen and a screen according to service selection according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the service selection screen 500 is an interface through which a user can select a plurality of services according to the present invention, such as shopping, meeting, Internet information, and used direct trading. The service type may be newly created, deleted, or changed by the MMTS 105 administrator through the service schema manager 111, and specific settings related to the corresponding service may be newly created, deleted, or changed.

When the user selects 'find friends' in the meeting service, a personal information input interface 510 for inputting user's personal information is provided accordingly. When the user's gender is male, it is preferable to create a 'Find heterosexual friend' match folder as a girlfriend search condition and when the user's gender is female. It is more preferable to provide an interface that can be set in detail for the reception condition of the.

6 is an exemplary view showing reception condition setting screens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the user selects the conditions of TV, audio, and DVD in the product selection interface 600 in which the user can select a product, the condition for deleting the selected conditions and detailed settings according to the respective conditions may be deleted and The detailed setting change interface 610 is provided to the user.

When the user clicks the 'detail setting change' button corresponding to the TV condition in the condition deletion and detail setting change interface 610, the detailed setting interface 620 for setting the manufacturer, item, and price is provided to the user. Subsequently, when the user clicks the 'next' button in the detailed setting interface 620, the user is provided with a confirmation interface 630 displaying the detailed setting items set in the detailed setting interface 620. As described above with reference to FIG. 5, it is preferable to delete or change the reception condition even after the match folder is created.

In step 415, if there is no message box for the service selected by the user in the message database 135, a new message is created or a reception condition is set in an existing message box. In step 415, after the reception condition is successfully set in the message box, a process of transmitting the corresponding reception condition to the match index manager 121 through the message transmission / reception processor 133 may be added.

In step 420, the matched index manager 121 receiving the received condition classifies each field of the received condition by referring to the service schema database 112, and converts specific condition fields into the first identification code to store in the match index database 123. In the form of a bit combination of a predefined specification, ie a first bit combination. Since the specific condition field is converted into the identification code, the description thereof will be omitted.

In step 425, the bit combination is stored in the index table of the match index database 123. The match index database 123 may be periodically updated due to deletion of a reception condition or a change in order. Step 425 may include informing the user that the reception condition is set.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a transmission process in which a user composes and transmits a message and delivers it through a match with a reception condition. In each step to be described later, the user of each of the message transmission and reception service system according to the present invention using the interface provided by the web server 132 and the message browser 131 of the MMTS 105 to the user through the Internet terminal 100 Functions will be used.

Referring to FIG. 7, steps 700 to 705 are the same as steps 400 to 405 described with reference to FIG. 4, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

In step 710, a user who is allowed to access may create a new message for the service of his choice. When creating a new message, you can set the transmission conditions by adding and adding contents such as a subject, a text, and an attached file. The setting of these transmission conditions is by a method of selecting or writing desired transmission conditions in the transmission condition setting form provided for the service selected by the user.

The transmission condition may consist of several condition fields, and the user may set at least one value in each field. Each service may have different transmission condition setting forms and corresponding condition fields. The transmission condition for one service preferably has the same field configuration corresponding to the reception condition.

In step 715, the message sent and received by the user is received by the message transmission and reception processor 133 and transmitted to the other MMTS 105 and the message manager 134 in the same MMTS 105. At this time, a message transmitted from another MMTS 105 may also be added to the message manager 134.

In operation 720, the message manager 134 extracts a header from the transmitted messages and stores the header in the message database 135, and stores the remaining part of the message body, an attached file, and the like in the message storage 139. In operation 720, a process of adding a transmission condition to the match queue 140 may be added.

In step 725, the match processor 122 retrieves the transmission condition via the match queue 140, classifies each field and converts certain condition fields into a second identification code to compare and retrieve the contents of the match index database 134. In order to achieve this, a bit combination form of a predefined specification, that is, a second bit combination is made. Here, the process of generating a query statement in which AND / OR is combined between the condition fields according to the relationship between the condition fields may be included.

Thereafter, in step 730, the series of second bit combinations generated in step 725 are matched through a bitwise AND / OR comparison process with the first bit combination of the reception condition fields represented by the identification code in the match index database 123. Calculate the result.

In operation 730, a process of calculating a match result based on a general formula or a logical comparison with respect to a condition field defined as a non-identification code within the calculated result range may be added. Each calculation result is preferably the address of the matching user's message box. Steps 725 and 730 may be performed in one process.

Thereafter, the message manager 134 sends the address of the user message box that is the result of the calculation (step 735).

In step 740, the message manager 134 determines whether the address of the user message box, which is the result of the processing sent from the match processor 122, exists. If there is no address in the user message box as a result of the determination, the process ends, and if there is an address in the user message box, the process moves to step 745.

In step 745, the message manager 134 inserts the header of the outgoing message into the corresponding user message box in the message database 135 and ends the process. The message box, which is a virtual message, is inserted into the user's message box rather than the transmitted message itself.

In the present invention, all forms that can display and connect the message itself rather than the message itself, such as the message header, will be referred to as virtual messages. Preferably, the header of the transmission message includes connection information regarding the location of the message body, the attachment, and the like. Since the process of viewing a message sent by the user is similar to that of viewing a general web mail or bulletin board, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, in order to easily distinguish a message delivered by a match of a transmission / reception condition according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as a match message) and a message delivered by an address (hereinafter referred to as a communication message), a new interface is provided to the user. Can provide.

That is, referring to the message list interface and the message reading interface of FIG. 8, a message box interface may be provided that associates and manages messages directly answered by a user who receives a match message with the match message.

Referring to FIG. 8, when a user clicks a message 'low free' from a message list in the message list interface 800, a message reading interface 810 for reading a message corresponding to 'low free' is displayed. Is provided to the user.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user may be provided with an interface of the same type as the general electronic mail or a modified interface thereof.

Hereinafter, the matching process will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 9A to 12B, taking as an example a TV commerce information brokerage service and a heterosexual friend search service.

9A illustrates an example of a service schema DB 901 in a TV commerce information brokerage service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9B illustrates an example of a service schema DB 901 in a heterosexual friend service. to be. The reception condition and transmission condition are converted with reference to the service schema DB 112.

Referring to FIG. 9A, the service schema DB 901 in the TV commerce information brokerage service includes a condition field item, a match type item, a field value item, an identification code item, and a match target item. Herein, the items may be changed, such as addition and deletion, as described above.

The condition field may include manufacturer, item, and price. In addition, match types include Exact match, Keyword match, and Range match. In this embodiment, the manufacturer and the item are exact matches, and the price is set to range match.

Here, the match type may be set by the person planning the service. A perfect match is determined to be true only if the content of the field completely matches the condition value, and a keyword match is determined to be true if the field contains the content of the condition value, and a range match is determined by the condition specified by the field. If it is within the range it is determined to be true.

Here, in the case of a perfect match, an identification code is assigned to each field value of the corresponding condition field, and it is determined that the match is made when the identification code given in the matching process to be described later matches completely. Range matches and keyword matches are the same as the normal match procedure, so descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Field values corresponding to the manufacturer's condition fields include "Samsung", "LG", "Daewoo", and "Other", and the identification codes assigned to the manufacturers are '0001', '0010', '0100', and '1000'. Each identification code has 4 field values corresponding to the condition field, so it is 4 bits and has a unique value within the condition field.

If there are five field values corresponding to the condition field, the identification codes will be '00001', '00010', '00100', '01000', and '10000'. Even if the condition field is an item, it is similar to that of the manufacturer condition field, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

In the TV commerce information brokerage service, a match target is a manufacturer, an item is an item, and a price corresponds to a price, so it can be omitted.

Here, it will be described later in FIG. 10 on the assumption that the sender sets "Samsung" as a transmission condition, "25" to 29 "or 30" to 34 "", and "no correlation" in price.

9B illustrates an example of a service schema DB 903 in a heterosexual friend search service. Referring to FIG. 9B, the service schema DB 903 includes a condition field item, a match type item, a field value item, an identification code item, and a match target item as in the case of FIG. 9A. Here, the addition and deletion of each item can be changed as described above.

9b is different from that of FIG. 9a in that it further includes a match target. 9B is a service schema DB that can be used in a service for which user information can be a condition.

However, when the user information is a condition, the values to be matched with the condition are not the values input by the sender or the receiver but the user information of the other party. Therefore, it is necessary to identify which value matches. In other words, the match target is necessary because it is different from each condition field.

For example, the match target corresponding to the gender condition field is opposite sex, and the match target corresponding to the my local condition field is the relative region, and the match target corresponding to the relative region condition field is my region. As described above, the administrator can change the match target.

In the case of FIG. 9B, the user field, which is a user personal matter, is included in the condition field. That is, by setting the user information (inner region, age, etc.) as the condition field, the administrator can include the receiver information in the reception condition and the sender information in the transmission condition. The reception condition includes a sender condition (relative area, relative age, etc.), and the transmission condition includes a receiver condition (relative area, relative age, etc.).

Although the user information may be directly input by the user, necessary information may be extracted and used by using user information registered in advance in a member registration process. The rest of the rest is similar to that of FIG. 9A, and thus description thereof is omitted.

In this case, the sender has a gender of "man", a range of "seoul", a destination of "Seoul" or "Busan", an age of "28 years old", and a relative age of "25 to 28 years". It is assumed that it is set.

10A and 10B illustrate an example of a match index table and a bit combination according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10A, the transmission condition bit combination form (hereinafter referred to as a second bit combination) 1001 in the case of the TV commerce information brokerage service of FIG. 9A described above and the index table of the reception condition (hereinafter, referred to as first bit combination) Index table) 1003 is exemplarily represented.

The second bit combination 1001 uses the service schema DB 901 to determine whether the sender uses "Samsung", "25" to 29 ", or 30" to 34 "of the manufacturer corresponding to an Exact match. The converted value. In detail, the second bit combination 1001 becomes '01100001' because "Samsung" is "0001", "25" to 29 ", or 30" to 34 "" is "0110". '01100001' is represented as' F8'F7'F6'F5'F4'F3'F2'F1 '' for each bit.

The first bit combination index table 1003 is a value stored in the match index database after the plurality of C1 to Cn reception conditions are converted in the same manner as the above-described transmission condition conversion procedure. Taking the case of the first reception condition C1 as an example, the first bit combination is '01100011', which means that the manufacturer is "Samsung or LG" and the items are "25" to 29 "or 30" to 34 ". If '01100011' is represented as 'F8F7F6F5F4F3F2F1' for each bit.

Referring to FIG. 10B, the transmission condition bit combination form (second bit combination) 1005 and the index table (first bit combination index table) 1007 in the case of the heterosexual friend search service of FIG. 9B described above are shown. Expressed by way of example. Since the description of the second bit combination 1005 and the first bit combination 1007 is almost similar to that described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, since the gender “male” corresponding to an Exact match among the transmission conditions of the sender corresponds to “01”, the reverse “Seoul” corresponds to “0001”, and the relative region “Seoul” or “Busan” corresponds to “0011”, The bit string 705 becomes '0011000101'. Here, '0011000101' is represented as 'F10'F9'F8'F7'F6'F5'F4'F3'F2'F1' for each bit.

For example, in the case of the second reception condition C2 of the first match index table 1007, the bit string is '0111000101', which means that the gender is “male” and the reverse range is “Seoul”, the relative of the reception conditions. This is the case when the area is “Seoul or Busan or Daegu.” '0111000101' will be denoted as 'F10F9F8F7F6F5F4F3F2F1' for each bit.

11A and 11B are diagrams illustrating an AND / OR query generation method calculated based on a transmission condition according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11A, F1 ', F6', and F7 ', which are true values, are extracted from the second bit combination 1001 corresponding to the transmission condition in the above-described TV commerce information brokerage service. Thereafter, as illustrated in FIG. 9A, the match target is examined to extract F1 corresponding to F1 ′ and F6 corresponding to F6 and F7 ′ corresponding to F1 ′.

Finally, since F1 corresponds to the manufacturer's condition field and F6 and F7 correspond to the item's condition field, an AND / OR query statement of F1 AND (F6 OR F7) is generated. That is, values corresponding to the same condition field perform an OR operation, and values corresponding to the other condition field perform an AND operation.

Referring to FIG. 11B, when the method described with reference to FIG. 11A is applied, an AND / OR query statement of F2 AND F7 AND (F3 OR F4) is generated. However, in this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, the match target is examined to extract F2 corresponding to F1 ', F7 corresponding to F3', F3 corresponding to F7 ', and F4 corresponding to F8'.

12A and 12B are diagrams illustrating a process of performing an operation according to an AND / OR query generated with reference to FIGS. 11A and 11B according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12A, the reception condition string 1201 corresponding to F1 is set as' 1110... 00 ', the reception condition string 1203 corresponding to F6 is' 1000... Reception condition strings 1205 corresponding to 10 'and F7 are set to' 1101... 00 '. If you perform F1 AND (F6 OR F7), 00 '1207 is derived.

Finally, the conditions C1 and C2 are selected that correspond to the values for which the result is true. Thereafter, the selected conditions C1 and C2 are converted into message box addresses and passed to the message manager 134.

12B, the reception condition string 1209 corresponding to F2 is set as' 1010... 00 ', the reception condition string 1211 corresponding to F3 is' 1100... 01 ', the reception condition string 1213 corresponding to F4 is set to' 0010... The reception condition string 1215 corresponding to 00 'and F7 is' 1110... 10 '. F2 AND F7 AND (F3 OR F4) operation results in '1010... 00 '1217 is derived. Finally, the conditions C1 and C3 are selected that correspond to the values for which the result is true. Then, the selected conditions C1 and C3 are converted into message box addresses and passed to the message manager 134.

By the above-described Internet-based message transmission / reception method, when a message transmission and reception is performed by a transmission condition and a reception condition match for the first time, the receiver and the sender may then perform an information relay service using their respective user addresses.
