Description

Method of Providing Internet Connection Service for IP Phone with LCD}

The present invention provides an internet with an information display window that can provide text-based internet contents to an IP-phone user having an information display window using a call agent and a home-mode server. The present invention relates to a simple internet access service method on a telephone and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

Home-mode (H-mode) service is a service that provides Internet services such as information retrieval and mail transmission and reception through a telephone, a fax machine, a public telephone, and the like with a display. "H" in Home-Mode is an abbreviation for "Home" and is a fixed telephone version of a content service for mobile phones.

Currently, the Internet phone system provides only call-related supplementary services, so the utilization of IP phone equipment that is easy to connect to the Internet is low.

In addition, once a call is connected between two terminals of the Internet telephone system, the call processing server cannot recognize a control signal such as dual tone multi-frequency (hereinafter referred to as "DTMF") generated by the terminal. There is a problem that the terminal does not provide a method for requesting additional functions.

In other words, there is a problem that does not meet the various service needs of the user, such as searching the Internet or checking the mail during the call.

This is a limiting factor in the proliferation of Internet-based telephone systems.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems, and provides a call agent and a home-mode (H-mode) server while providing an Internet phone service for an Internet terminal such as an Internet phone (IP Phone) on the Internet. A computer-readable record of a simplified Internet access service method and a program for realizing the method on an Internet telephone having an information display window capable of intensively processing call processing and various additional services for a terminal using The purpose is to provide a medium.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of an Internet access service using an Internet phone, the method comprising: a first step in which a call agent receives a service request from an Internet phone terminal; A second step of the call agent requesting a service to a home mode server in response to a service request; A third step of confirming whether the Internet phone terminal has applied for the corresponding additional service; And a fourth step of confirming that the corresponding additional service is applied and receiving the additional service by connecting to a content server or a mail server.

On the other hand, the present invention, the Internet telephone system having a processor, the first function that the call agent receives a service request from the Internet phone terminal; A second function that the call agent requests a service to a home-mode server for a service request; A third function of checking whether the Internet phone terminal has applied for the corresponding additional service; And as a result of the confirmation, confirming that the corresponding additional service is applied, and providing a computer-readable recording medium having recorded a program for realizing a fourth function of receiving the additional service by connecting to a content server or a mail server.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of an Internet telephone system to which the present invention is applied.

In the figure, "100" represents an Internet phone terminal, "101" represents a call agent, "102" represents a home-mode server, "103" represents a content server, and "104" represents a mail server.

The service information requested by the subscriber is recorded together with the information of the Internet phone terminal 100 in the H-mode server 102.

The home mode (H-mode) server 102 provides Internet services such as information retrieval and mail transmission and reception through a home telephone, a fax machine, a public telephone, and the like with a display.

Service usage information is recorded in the billing table of the H-mode server 102 from the moment the Internet phone terminal 100 accesses the content server 103 and receives the service. Provide recovery agency service to providers.

The content server 103 and the home mode server 102 may be connected by a dedicated line or may be connected through the Internet.

When the mail is received, the Internet phone terminal 100 is ringed or the mail arrival indication is displayed on the LCD window to notify the user. After the user authenticates with the home-mode server 102, the mail is notified. You can connect to the server 104 to download the text and check it.

The call agent 101 that recognizes a control signal such as a handset button operation (DTMF) in the Internet phone terminal 100 is transmitted to the home mode (H-mode) server 102 to provide various additional services. In addition, the home-mode (H-mode) server 102 can recognize the process of accessing and disconnecting the Internet service, it is possible to extract the accurate billing data.

In addition, the home-mode (H-mode) server 102 and the wireless Internet content server can be linked to use the content produced for the wireless Internet user in the Internet phone terminal 100.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an internet access service method using an internet phone according to the present invention, and shows a processing flow for allowing an internet phone terminal to request various internet access services.

When the user requests access to the content server 204 using the Internet phone terminal 201 to use content or check mail, the Internet phone terminal 201 sends a control signal to the call agent 202.

The call agent 202 automatically requests a service from the H-mode server 203.

The home-mode (H-mode) server 203 checks whether the Internet phone terminal 201 that requested the service has applied for the corresponding additional service, and connects the content server 204 with a legitimate user.

Then, the Internet phone terminal 201 can search for and use desired information provided from the content server 204.

When the mail is received, the Internet phone terminal 201 is ringed or the mail arrival indication is displayed on the LCD (LCD) window to notify the user. After the user has authenticated the home-mode (H-mode) server 203, the mail is notified. You can connect to the server and download the text to check it.

3 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a simplified internet access service business model applied to an internet phone terminal according to the present invention.

First, a contract for storing information charges is concluded between a telephone operator 301 and a content provider (CP) 302.
