Description

Communication system and method using web browser input window {Communication system and method using window for inputting URL of web browser}

The present invention relates to a communication system and method using a web browser's QR input window, and more particularly, the sender can communicate between the receiver and the sender by activating the web browser and inputting the communication ID of the receiver in the QR input window. The present invention also relates to a communication system and a communication method capable of transmitting the recipient web page and the sender web page to the receiver terminal and the sender terminal, respectively, to achieve the same effect as communicating through a personal homepage.

The Internet includes a large number of computers and computer networks interconnected through communication links.

Interconnected computers exchange information using a variety of services, such as e-mail, gopher, and the World Wide Web.

The WWW service enables a server computer system (ie, a web server or website) to transmit visual web page information to a remote client computer system.

The client system of the webpage can then display such webpage.

Each resource (computer or web page) of the WWW can be identified by a unique URL address.

To view a particular web page, the client computer system specifies the URL for that web page in the request (ie, a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request).

Such a request is sent to a web server that supports the web page.

When the web server receives such a request, it sends the web page to the client computer system.

The client computer system receives the web page and typically displays it using a browser.

A browser is a special purpose application that performs the requested display of a web page.

Web pages, on the other hand, are typically defined using HTML.

HTML provides a set of standard tags that define how web pages are displayed.

When the user instructs the browser to display the web page, the browser requests the server computer system to deliver the HTML document defining the web page to the client computer system.

When the requested HTML document is received at the client computer system, the browser displays the web page in the manner defined by the HTML document.

The HTML document includes tags that control text, graphics, controls, and other elements.

This HTML document may include the URL of another web page that is supported on that server computer system or on another server computer system.

Recently, a voice communication system, such as a web phone or an internet phone, that enables voice chat or telephone call has been developed and commercialized by using the Internet.

In this voice communication system, a plurality of Internet terminals are interconnected via the Internet, and a call can be made using a handset connected to the Internet terminals, respectively. It is also possible to make a call.

In addition, as the Internet has become commercially available, a call system has been developed in which a user can make a voice or video call through the Internet using an Internet terminal such as a PC.

In this way, the Internet call system, in which each user can talk to each other via the Internet, is configured by loading an Internet site providing a call service to an Internet server, and a channel that allows multiple users to access the Internet server at the same time. A plurality of these devices are provided so that a plurality of users can be connected at the same time by using an Internet terminal such as a PC.

In this case, the Internet terminal is provided with a microphone, a camera, a monitor, a speaker, and the like, and is configured to transmit a voice or a video of the customer to the Internet server or to play a voice and video signal transmitted from the Internet server.

In addition, a relay system for transmitting a signal input from the Internet terminal to another Internet terminal is constructed in the Internet server.

This relay system relays signals between Internet terminals connected to one channel, and the audio or video signals transmitted by the user to the server using the Internet terminal are connected to other users connected to the same channel through the relay system. It can be transmitted to an Internet terminal, whereby users connected to the same channel can communicate with each other.

However, such a communication system using the Internet has a problem of compatibility because a user and another user must use a client program dependent on a protocol and a dedicated browser provided by the Internet server.

Therefore, there was a difficulty in establishing a global communication system because standard communication protocols around the world were not activated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention can be communicated using a browser URL input window that is a communication means of the Internet and the homepage of the receiver of the other party without a separate dedicated program, Through this, it is to provide a communication system that can establish a global communication system by activating the standard communication protocol.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a communication method using a communication system as described above.

As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 according to this embodiment is connected to a plurality of caller terminals 300 and a plurality of receiver terminals 400 through the Internet 200.

The communication system 100 is based on the system operational database 120, the recipient directory database 130, the receiver status information database 140, the message management database 150, and the information stored in these databases. It includes an operation server 110 for communication between the sender terminal 300 and the receiver terminal 400 through the Internet (200).

The system operation database 110 includes a plurality of data necessary to operate and manage the system (e.g., a member registration document, a message making document, an initial document for constructing a web page for senders and recipients, and a receiver's communication ID). Search box creation document, etc.) is stored in the recipient directory database 130 to a receiver (in this embodiment, the receiver is limited to a subscribed member) to communicate with the sender through the communication system according to the present embodiment. Personal information is stored in a directory so that the communication ID can be retrieved.

In addition, the recipient directory database 130 stores the recipient web page and the sender web page, which is suitable for use as a communication ID among the personal information of the recipient, as shown in FIG. A communication ID folder is generated and stored by extracting the telephone number of the recipient, and as a subfolder, a caller webpage folder and a receiver webpage folder are further generated and stored, and then the sender webpage folder is transmitted to the caller terminal 300. Various documents (for example, an HTML document introducing a recipient) that store a web page to the sender are stored, and the recipient web page is sent to the receiver terminal 400 to configure a web page to be displayed to the recipient. Various documents are stored.

The receiver status information database 140 includes information on whether the receiver is in a state in which the receiver is accessible by connecting to the communication system 100 according to the present embodiment and when the receiver accesses the communication system 100 through the receiver terminal 400. The current IP address of 400 is stored.

The message management database 150 stores a message left by the sender with the sender information when the receiver terminal is not in a standby state, that is, when the receiver terminal cannot communicate with the receiver.

The operation server 110 for communicating between the caller terminal 300 and the receiver terminal 400 based on the information stored in the above-described databases is a system operating unit 1101, the communication processing unit 1102 And a message processing unit 130.

The system operation unit 1101 searches for information stored in the system operation database 120 to register a member, to log in, to extract a communication ID, to create a communication ID folder, to create a recipient and caller webpage, and to search for a receiver communication ID. The recipient directory data, including the recipient information, the communication ID folder, the recipient and sender web page folders, the documents constituting the recipient and sender web pages, and the like. The base 130 is stored.

When the caller terminal 300 requests communication with the receiver terminal 400 through the Internet 200, the communication processor 1102 searches the receiver status information database 140 to determine whether the receiver is in a waiting state, and thus the current IP address of the receiver terminal. By transmitting to the caller terminal 300 to communicate with the receiver terminal 400. In addition, the communication processing unit 1102, when the communication is made between the caller terminal 300 and the receiver terminal 400, the caller terminal 300, the caller web page stored in the receiver directory database 130, the receiver The terminal 400 transmits the recipient web page stored in the receiver directory database 130.

When the message processing unit 1103 detects that the communication processing unit 1102 is not in the reception waiting state, the message processing unit 1103 transmits a message input window to input a message to be left to the receiver to the caller terminal 300, and sends the input message to the caller information. Together with the message management database 150, when the receiver is connected to the communication system 100 transmits the message to the receiver terminal (400).

The sender terminal 300 and the receiver terminal 400 to communicate through the communication system 100 according to the present embodiment should have a function to access the communication system 100 through the Internet 200. In this embodiment, web browsers 310 and 410 are installed for this purpose.

If the communication module of the receiver terminal 400 is not installed in the receiver terminal, the communication module of the receiver terminal 400 may be downloaded and installed by the system operating unit 1101 of the operation server 110 during the membership registration step.

Next, an example of a communication method using the same communication system as the above-described embodiment will be described in detail.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the domain name or IP of the communication system 100 is displayed in the URL input window to communicate with the receiver terminal 400 in a state in which the web browser 310 of the caller terminal 300 is activated (S3100). Once the address and the communication ID of the receiver, preferably the telephone number, are entered, this URL information is converted and packetized by a hyper transfer protocol (HTTP) in a web browser 310 and then communicated via the Internet 200 to the communication system 100. ) Is transmitted (S3200). Accordingly, the communication processing unit 1102 of the communication system 100 searches for the receiver status information database 140 (S3300).

As a result of the search, if the receiver terminal 400 is in the standby state (S3400), the communication processing unit 1102 transmits the current IP address of the receiver terminal 400 to the caller terminal (S3500), and also the receiver directory database 130 Search for and transmit the caller web page to the caller terminal 300 (S3600) to communicate with the receiver terminal.

For example, the communication process as described above will be described. The sender activates the web browser 310 through the caller terminal 300 and inputs http://www.icalli.com/8219253 in the URL input window. . Here, www.icalli.com is a domain name of the communication system 100, and 8219253 is a recipient's communication ID and means a recipient's telephone number.

The communication processing unit 1102 of the operation server 110 receiving the 8219253 as the communication ID transmits the IP address of the receiver terminal having the above-described communication ID and the caller web page stored in the communication ID folder of the receiver. The communication module 310 of the caller terminal is driven to communicate with the receiver terminal 400.

According to such a communication method, a caller has a caller terminal in which a web browser and a communication module are inherent. If only the domain name of the communication system and the communication ID of the receiver are known, preferably only a phone number, a separate login is not required It is possible to easily communicate with the receiver, and also because the sender's web page corresponding to the receiver's personal homepage is transmitted to the caller's terminal, the communication is performed. .

In addition, as a result of the receiver status information database 140 search, if the receiver terminal is not in the standby state, the communication processing unit 1102 transmits a message to the sender terminal 300, and at the same time, the caller in the message processing unit 1103. The window 300 for inputting a message to be left to the receiver is transmitted to the terminal 300 (S3700). When the caller who has received the message input window inputs and transmits a message through the caller terminal 300, the message processing unit 1103 stores the received message together with the caller information in the message management database 150 (S3800). When the information stored in this way is later accessed by the receiver through the receiver terminal 400 to the communication system 100, the message may be received and confirmed by the message processor 1103.

Next, a process in which the receiver is stored in the receiver status information database in a reception waiting state will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

When a URL for accessing the communication system 100 is input in the state in which the web browser 410 of the receiver terminal 400 is activated (S4100), the URL information is transmitted to a hyper transfer protocol (HTTP) in the web browser 310. The packet is converted into a packet and transmitted to the communication system 100 through the Internet 200 so that the receiver terminal is connected to the communication system (S4200).

Subsequently, the system operating unit 1101 transmits an input window for inputting a receiver ID and a password to the receiver terminal, and passes through a login step (S4300). This login step undergoes a user authentication for inputting an ID and a password of the receiver. Same as the normal login process. The recipient's ID for login may be the same or different from the recipient's communication ID.

If the receiver is not a member in the above-described login process (S4400), a login error message is transmitted and a member registration step (S4500) is performed. This member registration step will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

If it is confirmed that the user is a member at the login step (S4400), the message processing unit 1103 searches the message management database 150 and transmits the message left by the sender to the receiver terminal 400 so that the receiver can check it. (S4600).

Subsequently, the communication processing unit 1102 stores the current IP address of the receiver terminal in the receiver status information database 130 and simultaneously converts the status information of the receiver status information database 130 to a reception standby state (S4700). In addition, the communication processing unit 1102 searches the recipient directory information database 120 and transmits the recipient web page to the receiver terminal 400 (S4800).

The process of storing the receiver as described above in the receiver status information database in a waiting state may be performed through a method of searching for and logging in to a network card of the receiver terminal in a communication system.

Next, the member registration step (S4500) will be described in detail.

First, if it is determined that the user is not a member in the login step (S4300), the system operation unit 1101 searches the system operation database 120 and transmits a web page for membership (S5100).

If the receiver receives the personal information necessary for membership registration through the receiver terminal 400 and transmits it to the system operating unit 1101, the received system operating unit 1101 can retrieve the personal information so that the receiver communication ID can be retrieved. Directory to store in the receiver directory database 130 (S5200).

Subsequently, the system operation unit 1101 extracts an appropriate communication ID, preferably a telephone number, from among the recipient personal information to generate a communication ID folder, and then creates a recipient web page folder and a caller web page folder as subfolders of the communication ID folder. After creating and searching the system operation database 120 for the initial document that can be configured for the recipient's webpage, the recipient's webpage configuration document is automatically generated based on the information entered by the recipient. In this way, the sender web page configuration document is automatically generated and stored in the sender web page folder in the same manner, and the information is stored in the receiver directory database 130 (S5300). In particular, the sender's web page serves as the recipient's personal home page.

Next, the system operating unit 1101 checks whether the communication program is installed in the receiver terminal 400, and if not installed, downloads it to the receiver terminal 400 and installs the communication module 420 (S5400). ).

Another embodiment of a communication method according to the present invention will be described. In particular, the present embodiment is similar to the communication method of FIG. 3 as a communication method when the caller does not know a communication ID of a receiver, for example, a phone number, and thus does not show a separate drawing and only differs processes. It will be briefly explained.

First, when a URL for accessing the communication system 100 is input while the web browser 310 of the caller terminal 300 is activated, the URL information is transmitted to a hyper transfer protocol (HTTP) in the web browser 310. Is converted and packetized and then transmitted to the communication system 100 via the Internet 200 so that the receiver terminal is connected to the communication system.

Subsequently, the system operation unit 1101 transmits a search box to the caller terminal so as to search for the communication ID of the receiver, and the caller who has received the information transmits information about a receiver known to the caller, for example, a name or an address. When inputted to and transmitted, the system operating unit 1102, which has received the information, searches for the recipient directory database 130, extracts the communication ID of the receiver to communicate with, and transmits it to the caller terminal 300. The caller who has grasped the communication ID of the receiver through the above process may communicate with the receiver terminal through the same process as described above with reference to FIG. 3.

According to the communication system and the communication method according to the present invention as described above, according to this communication method, the sender has a caller terminal in which a web browser and a communication module are embedded, and only the domain name of the communication system and the communication ID of the receiver are used. Preferably, if you know only the phone number, you can easily talk to the recipient without the need for a separate login, and also the sender's web page corresponding to the recipient's personal homepage is sent to the caller's terminal to communicate with the recipient. The advantage is that it is the same as communicating with the caller through your personal homepage.

In addition, the communication system and the communication method according to the present invention also have the advantage that even when the caller does not know the communication ID of the receiver, it is possible to connect to the communication system to search for the receiver communication ID to communicate.

When the communication system and the communication method according to the present invention are commercialized, various additional advertising and content revenue models can be set based on the advantages as described above, and a global communication system can be established by activating standard communication protocols around the world.
