Description

Subscriber Unified Messaging System and Service Method {SUBSCRIBER-ORIENTED UNIFIED MESSAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVICING USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a subscriber-specific unified messaging system and service method, and more particularly to a unified messaging system and service method that can control the greeting, announcement message or call setup method according to the conditions specified by the subscriber.

Due to the rapid development of communication technology, wired communication between users connected to wired communication lines such as copper wires or cables installed in the air or underground, the era of mobile communication that enables communication even in the absence of wired communication lines has arrived. It was.

In such a mobile communication system, an external command input device such as a keypad or a touch screen is provided in a wireless communication device used by a caller, and the inputted command is converted into an RF (Radio Frequency) signal suitable for a mobile communication service and transmitted. do. The RF signal transmitted from the sender's wireless communication device is transmitted to the base station, where the demodulation of the RF signal into a designated command and the sender's wireless communication device ID number using a protocol for the wireless communication service. Together with the corresponding wireless communication server. The wireless communication server recognizes the number of the receiver input from the caller, connects to the wireless communication server to which the receiver belongs, and requests a call with the corresponding receiver. As a result, a call line is formed between the caller's wireless communication device and the receiver's wireless communication device, thereby making a voice call between the caller and the receiver.

On the other hand, as these wireless communication devices evolved into various forms such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), code division multiple access (CDMA) or international mobile telecommunications 2000 (IMT2000), not only simple voice calls, but also greetings and melodies In addition, additional services such as voice mail and message transmission, moving characters using user's image data, and wireless Internet using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) are possible. Accordingly, various types of voice information services have been provided, and in particular, voice information services such as greetings or music messages of wireless communication devices have been provided, and many users have received favorable responses.

This voice information service was provided through an external voice information service server separately from an exchange provided in each mobile communication company.

Figure 1 shows an overall block diagram of a conventional voice information service system using an external voice information service server.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the conventional voice information service system, a caller using a wired communication device 11 or a wireless communication device 12 provides a voice mailbox service for transmitting a melody or voice message to a receiver 18. The information service server 15 is connected. At this time, the caller using the wired communication device 11 connects to a wired network 14 such as a public switched telephone network (PSTN) via a wired communication line, and is connected to the selected voice message server 15. The caller using the wireless communication device 12 transmits an RF signal through the base station 13 near the area where the caller is located and is connected to the voice information service server 15 through the wireless network 14. A caller who accesses the voice information service server 15 by using the wired communication device 11 or the wireless communication device 12 includes his or her own voice using various kinds of music stored in the voice information service server 15. Record the music message and enter the recipient's contact number. The voice information service server 15 determines the contact number of the receiver and informs the corresponding mobile communication server 16 that the music message has been transmitted from the sender. Accordingly, the mobile communication server 16 transmits the arrival of the music message and the contact number of the voice information service server 15 to the corresponding receiver 18 via the base station 17. As a result, the receiver 18 can access the voice information service server 15 again and receive a music message input from the sender.

As such, when using an external voice information service server separately from the mobile communication exchange, a user who wants to use a music message must provide personal information to an operator of the voice information service server. Charges shall be charged accordingly. In particular, since the voice information service server cannot share the receiver's information through the mobile communication server to which the receiver is subscribed, the voice information service server cannot control the music message to be transmitted according to the receiver's personal information or reception status.

On the other hand, when the caller requests a call connection, even if the user designates a greeting provided according to the set state of the receiver, each user has to record the greeting through the voice information service server and pay a service fee therefor. In addition, in order to use a voice service such as a music message, the caller has to charge a voice information service company, so the user cannot easily use the voice information service.

In order to solve this problem, a voice message function is implemented in a switch of a mobile communication company without using a separate voice information service server, and a method for providing a voice information service more easily has been proposed.

2 is a block diagram of a conventional voice information service system providing a voice information service through a mobile communication server.

2, the voice information service system does not need a separate voice information service server because the mobile communication server 16 has a voice message function provided by a conventional voice information service server. Therefore, the caller using the wired communication device 11 or the wireless communication device 12 connects directly to the mobile communication server 16 to which the receiver 18 is subscribed via the wired or wireless network 14, thereby transmitting melody or music, Or you can record your voice to compose a voice message. The mobile communication server 16 notifies the corresponding recipient 18 that the voice message has been transmitted, and the receiver 18 can check the received voice message through its voice mailbox provided in the mobile communication server 16.

At this time, since the callers 11 and 12 do not use a separate voice information service server, there is no need to pay a separate additional service usage fee, and the receiver 18 receiving the voice message receives a personal voice mailbox. You will be charged a fee. In addition, the mobile communication server 16 does not need to manage personal information of the receiver 18 separately, and personal information may be managed through a single server.

On the other hand, a service provided through a mobile communication company basically has a voice mail service (VMS). The voice mailbox service allows the caller to record a voice message or personal contact number in the voice mailbox when the service subscriber cannot directly call the caller. The recipient can check the recorded caller's message or contact number. Say service.

However, such a conventional voice mailbox service cannot record various types of messages because it can only record the caller's voice or telephone number. In addition, the voice mailbox service is provided only when the called party cannot make a call, such as when the power is off, during a call, or when there is no answer, so that the caller can use the voice mail service voluntarily. It wasn't.

Accordingly, in recent years, efforts have been made to provide a voice message service through a mobile communication server without using a separate voice message server, and to provide various types of voice mailbox functions through the mobile communication server. Accordingly, several service plans have been proposed.

First, Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-034419 and Publication No. 2001-037171 propose a service method for accessing a voice mailbox according to a caller's choice, regardless of whether or not the recipient is in a call.

In the personal communication exchange system disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-034419, the voice mailbox service method is performed by inputting a predefined voice mail connection code while a caller dials a communication number of a recipient and accesses a recipient side exchange. Optionally allow you to connect to your voice mailbox. If the caller does not enter the voice mail connection code for a certain time, the call request signal is normally transmitted to the receiver.

However, for this purpose, the caller must know the connection code for connecting to the voice mailbox in advance, and it is inconvenient to input it within a designated time.

The voice mailbox service implementation method of the mobile communication system disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-037171 is connected to the voice mailbox service when the mobile exchange side of the receiver detects an outgoing call from the caller, and the voice mailbox service calls the caller with a voice call or a text call. Provides optional guidance messages such as call connection, or toll free service. The caller may leave a voice or text to the receiver or select a call with the receiver according to the guide message.

In addition, the message recording method with background music in the radio calling system disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 1999-025765 discloses a method for selecting background music when a caller leaves a voice message to a receiver. Here, when the caller dials the communication number of the receiver and accesses the exchange at the receiver side, the exchange provides the sender with a guide message for voice mail service. The caller selects a voice recording service from the announcement message, selects a desired background music from the available background music, and records the message with it.

In addition, a method of transmitting a specific voice message of a communication terminal disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-042783 discloses a method of storing a voice message frequently used by a caller in a communication device of the caller and transmitting the same to a designated receiver. Accordingly, the sender can transmit the message more efficiently by using the prestored voice message without having to input the same voice message every time.

In addition, the selective call blocking and switching method in the wireless communication system disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-010386 can store the calling party number in advance, and reject the incoming call or switch to the voice mailbox or another communication number according to the stored calling party number. A method is disclosed.

The voice mailbox service can be variously changed according to the information of the sender or the receiver, and in view of the fact that the needs of users are diversified, various services will still need to be added. In recent years, the service has been provided in the form of a Unified Messaging System (UMS). The Unified Messaging System (UMS) stores all messages of various types such as voice, fax and e-mail in one logical mailbox, By managing, access is possible through various communication devices such as landline phones, fax machines or mobile phones.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and limitations, and an object of the present invention is to provide a subscriber-uniformed unified messaging system and a service method that can provide various types of greetings or voice messages to each caller according to a subscriber's setting. .

When the caller information processing module 262 receives a call request signal from the caller, the caller information processing module 262 checks the personal information such as the caller's communication number or name, or the caller's location provided through the user location register (HLR), and the subscriber in the database. Determines whether the user corresponds to a specific service.

The subscriber information processing module 264 checks the location of the subscriber provided through the user location register (HLR) or the subscriber information corresponding to the call destination when there is a call request from the caller.

The function control module 266 is a part that provides various messaging services according to a subscriber's choice. That is, the user receives a greeting or voice message from the subscriber, and provides the subscriber with a selectable function. Accordingly, the subscriber can select the greeting or voice message provided to the caller according to the caller or caller location. In addition, the subscriber may select different greetings or voice messages according to their reception location or time of reception, and may specify music data available to the caller to record the voice message.

If there is a call request from the caller, the message control module 268 may provide a predetermined greeting or voice message from the subscriber to the caller according to the caller information, or provide the corresponding subscriber with a voice message input from the caller. At this time, the voice message configurable by the sender or subscriber may be a message including background music in the user's voice message, music message, or voice message.

Looking at the configuration and operation of the integrated messaging system using the application module 260 of such a configuration in more detail as follows.

For the communication connection between the caller and the subscriber, the OS provided in the unified messaging system controls the operation of each application module 260 by providing a high level command to an application program interface (192).

The unified messaging system includes a high level instruction processing unit 202 that identifies the corresponding application module 260 according to the high level instructions provided from the API 192, decodes the high level instructions and provides them to the corresponding places. The application module controller 250 controls the operation of each application module 262, 264, 266, 268 according to a command provided from the high level command processor 202.

The caller information processing module mapping unit 251 receives a high level command from the high level command processing unit 202 to process the caller information processing module 262 in order to confirm the personal information or the location information of the caller requesting the call. Mapping is possible at the device level, and provided to the caller information processing module 262 through the caller information processing module interface 252. That is, when a call request signal is received from the caller requesting a voice message or a call to the subscriber, the caller information processing module 262 checks personal information such as the caller's contact number or name, and checks the caller's current location through the HLR. You can check it. Accordingly, the unified messaging system can provide the caller with a predetermined greeting or voice message to the caller. Similarly, the subscriber information processing module mapping unit 253 can transmit the call request signal according to the caller's request. In order to check the personal information or the location information, a high level command is received from the high level command processing unit 202 and mapped to a device level that can be processed by the subscriber information processing module 262, and the subscriber information processing module interface unit ( 252 to the subscriber information processing module 262. Accordingly, the unified messaging system can provide a designated greeting or voice message according to the caller's or subscriber's personal information or location, and can provide the subscriber's designated greeting or voice message to the subscriber's designated sender.

The function control module 266 is a part for allowing a subscriber to select a greeting or a voice message provided to the caller and to select a counterpart to provide a greeting or a voice message. In other words, the functions of various messaging systems can be changed according to the subscriber's choice. The function control module mapping unit 255 receives a high level command provided from the high level command processing unit 202 to provide various functions according to a subscriber's selection. Map to command. Device level instructions are provided to the function control module 266 via the function control module interface 256.

The message control module 268 is a part for providing a subscriber with a greeting or a voice message designated by the subscriber, or for providing a subscriber with a voice message input by the caller. Accordingly, in case of a request from a sender or a request of a subscriber, a high level command is provided to instruct message transmission from the high level command processing unit 202 to the message control module mapping unit 257. The message control module mapping unit 257 maps high level commands to device level commands that the message control module 268 can process, and provides the message control module interface 258 to the message control module 268 through the message control module interface 258. . Accordingly, the subscriber can check the voice message input by the caller, and the subscriber can send the voice message to the designated party. Describe the detailed member function for the API 192 configured to perform this function in more detail. Is as follows.

Referring to FIG. 6, the unified messaging service of the present invention may be classified into a mailbox management, a mailbox view, a letter write and a download.

Mailbox management is managed by subscribers who have subscribed to the unified messaging service and can be classified into group management, background viewing, greeting management, user management, notification management, and password management. Group management classifies callers registered by subscribers into groups designated by subscribers, and registers greetings or announcements provided to callers belonging to each group, or registers background music or greetings selectable by callers belonging to the group. . Accordingly, the subscriber may designate different background music or greetings for each group, and different background music or greetings that callers can use depending on the group. For example, a caller who likes a sporting activity may be designated as a sports group, and if there is a call request from a caller belonging to the sporting group, the caller may provide sports-related background music and greetings, and the caller may also record sports-related background music or greetings. Can be specified. Background sound management is a part that selects the background music provided for each group or caller, and designates the background music available to each group or caller. Similarly, greeting management is a part of selecting a greeting provided by a group or a sender and specifying a greeting that can be used by callers or individual callers belonging to each group. User management is the part that retrieves caller's registration and registered caller information. At this time, caller information may be searched by name or registered telephone number. Notification management is where you specify the path or method by which background music or greetings are provided by group or by sender. For example, when a subscriber requests a call for each group or caller, the subscriber may designate an immediate notification to the subscriber's other communication terminal or select a notification method such as ringing or vibration. In addition, the subscriber may specify various notification methods according to the caller's location or the subscriber's location in addition to the group or caller information. The password is the part that manages the password registered by the subscriber for the Unified Messaging service.

Mailbox reading is the part that subscribers can check the message sent from the sender such as text letter, group letter, e-mail, voice mail or fax data. That is, the subscriber listens or confirms the message stored or recorded from the sender or the individual sender belonging to the group according to the message storage or recording method specified by the subscriber or each sender. If a voice or text message is stored from the sender according to the subscriber's designation, the message arrival notification is delivered to the subscriber and the subscriber can then go to the stored mailbox to view the stored message.

A letter is a part in which a subscriber writes a greeting or a message to be transmitted to another user, or a caller who sends a call request signal writes a message to be delivered to the subscriber according to the subscriber's designation. At this time, the message that can be written by the subscriber or the caller may distinguish a melody letter, a short text message, a voice message, or a call message informing of a contact, which is provided with a voice or text message along with background music.

Downloading is the part where subscribers can download image data such as ringtones, music or characters that can be used to compose greetings or messages.

Detailed configuration and operation of the integrated messaging system of the present invention that can provide such various functions will be described in more detail.
