Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for a link service between user terminals for the message transfer is provided to transfer a large size file at a small cost without a same messenger, the simultaneous connection, and the management of a file, an ID, and a password. CONSTITUTION: The first terminal having a client program transfers the work information performed by linking with the second terminal and an IP(Internet Protocol) address by connecting to a service server(130). The service server stores the information and the IP address of the first terminal in a user database, generates and records a work ID information, automatically generates a web page for downloading the IP address of the first terminal to the second terminal, and transfers the work ID information and a web page address to the first terminal(140-180). The first terminal records the work ID information and the contents information, and stores the web page address(190). If the second terminal connects to the web page, the server transfers the work ID information to the second terminal(200). After linking with the first terminal, the second terminal performs the work by suggesting the work ID information to the first terminal.

Description

Link service method between user terminals for message transmission {The method of link service for messanger}

The present invention relates to a link service method between user terminals for message transmission.

First, the description of file transfer is as follows.

In the past, a file was attached to an e-mail, a large file could be sent through a file transfer operation, a file or a message could be directly transferred from a personal computer to a personal computer using a messenger, or a file could be transferred using a web hard drive. .

The majority of people use free e-mail, but the free e-mail can't be given indefinitely due to cost, so it's common to limit the size of attachments. It does not allow you to transfer files. In this situation, even if the sender's mail size is allowed and the attachment is sent as an e-mail, the mail size of the other person is not enough and the mail cannot be delivered. Therefore, there is no thought that people are sending a large file by e-mail. There is a situation.

The following is a description of the file transfer service, which was developed for the purpose of transferring large files. When a person who wants to send a file uploads the file to a file transfer server, the file transfer server notifies the recipient of the email address. When the recipient clicks the hyperlinked address in the notification mail, the recipient is connected to the file download page provided by the file transfer server and is made to be downloaded to the recipient's computer. This method is very useful in that large files can be sent regardless of the sender's or recipient's mail volume, but the server must keep large files and upload and download the large files. The cost burden of the service is very high, so the service fee is excessive.

The following describes how to transfer files using the PC to PC method using a messenger. Messenger users can send a file, send an instant message or chat to the other party while logged in to the messenger server through the messenger. You can receive the current IP address (hereinafter referred to as messenger friend) from the server and send the desired file or message directly to the desired party. This is possible because the messenger server records the subscriber's IP address when logging in. However, this method requires both people to use the same messenger in advance, and can only transfer files while connected at the same time. Also, when they are registered as messenger friends, online status is always exposed to each other. In addition, it may give a compulsion to formally say hello before and after meals, and deleting from the messenger friend list is also difficult to delete because of sorry to the other party. Above all, since the same messenger is not used in advance, file transfer is impossible, so it is very difficult to suggest this method to the other party for large file transfer.

The following is how to transfer files using Webhard. To send a large file using Web Hard, put the file to send in the shared folder and inform the other party the web hard address, user number (ID) and password so that the other party can directly access the web hard to download the file. You can do it. This method requires ID and password management in that it informs the people of the ID and password of the transaction, and folder and file management must be thoroughly managed with security in mind. Since hundreds of megabytes of memory must be allocated, the service cost is high, and it is a service that pays a monthly fee, so people who are unlikely to use it throughout the month have difficulty in using it casually.

The following is a description of chat.

In the past, users could chat by connecting to a messenger or a web page. On the web, the person who opened the chat room had no choice but to wait until the other party participated in the chat room. When chatting with a specific person, he had to promise a connection time or give the chat room name by phone or the like. Therefore, people who didn't make a promise should have been waiting for a chat window with nobody on the screen, even when the other party might be connected. In addition, in order to chat using a messenger, the same messenger service was subscribed to each other and registered with each other as a messenger friend, but it was possible to register as a messenger friend.

Therefore, people who did not use the same messenger service or registered as a messenger friend could not invite the other party to the chat room to chat instantly.

The present invention is to solve the above inconvenience, regardless of the size of the e-mail, without the need to use the same messenger, at the same time, without the same messenger, without the need to be connected at the same time, file management problems and file sharing Allowing you to transfer large files without having to manage IDs and passwords,

Its purpose is to allow instant senders and recipients to instant chat with the click of an email or online business card.

The link key shown in FIG. 3 is a link file type frequently used on Windows OS. The link key includes the URL information, and when a user double-clicks with a mouse, the link key is automatically accessed to obtain a desired information.

4 is a flowchart showing a process in which a TAKE PC obtains a job number and an IP address of a GIVE PC from a service server.

When the GIVE PC user attaches the link key to an e-mail and delivers it to the counterpart, the TAKE PC accesses a web page provided by the service server 20 by referring to the link key 210.

The web page includes an ACTIVE-X or JAVA program, and the program determines whether the link messenger 35 is installed in the TAKE PC30.

If it is not installed, PUSH LinkMessenger35 to install automatically.225,

If installed, the link messenger 35 downloads the job number and the IP address of the GIVE PC 10 from the web page 230,

After connecting to the IP address, the job number is transmitted to the link messenger 15 of the GIVE PC 10.

Steps 220-225 are additional steps required when the TAKE PC30 does not include a link messenger 35.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a TAKE PC receives a job from a GIVE PC according to the present invention.

The link messenger 15 of the GIVE PC 10 retrieves the corresponding job number from the job table given by the TAKE PC 30.

The link messenger determines the type of the retrieved job 320.

If the job type is file transfer in step 320, the file is loaded into the memory, the file transmission protocol is executed to wait for file transmission, and the file transmission completion signal is transmitted to the TAKE PC30 330.

Upon receiving the signal, the link messenger 35 starts file reception by executing the file reception protocol 335.

If the work type is chat in step 320, a chat room that meets the conditions is displayed to wait for a chat and a chat waiting completion signal is transmitted to the TAKE PC30 340.

The link messenger 35, which has received the chat waiting completion signal, opens a chat room to execute a chat.

All link work is carried out and the work ends 350.

If the PCs 10 and 30 have a fixed IP address in an IPv6 manner, the role of the service server 20, namely, job number and link key generation, job number management, job number, and IP address guidance of the GIVE PC10 are not necessary. Since the service server 20 is not necessary, the link messenger 15 of the GIVE PC 10 further includes a function to directly generate and manage a job number and a link key to achieve the object of the present invention.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a link between a GIVE PC and a TAKE PC and a corresponding process in the fixed IP address method according to the present invention.

When the link messenger 15 receives a task to be provided from the user, the link messenger 15 determines the type of the task 400,

If the type is file transfer in step 400, record the job type and the corresponding file for file transfer in the job table (Table 1).

If the type is chat in step 400, the job type and condition information for the chat are recorded in the job table (Table 1).

Generate unique job number in GIVE PC10

Generate a link key containing the static IP address of the GIVE PC10430,

The job number and the link key are additionally recorded in the job table.

Determine the connection of the TAKE PC30 500.

If the TAKE PC30 is not connected, repeat 500 steps.

The link messenger 35 of the TAKE PC30 determines the link key received and connects to the GIVE PC 10 and transmits the job number.

Since the TAKE PC30 is connected at 500 steps, the process proceeds to process 'A' of FIG. 5.

It is apparent that the GIVE PC 10 (job providing terminal), the TAKE PC 30 (job target terminal), and the service server 20 are connected to the Internet, and are programmed to transmit and receive packet data through a TCP or UDP port through an Internet socket.

The following describes how to attach a link key to an e-mail.

In the e-mail service, there is a separate button called 'Paste link key', 'Paste large file', or 'Paste instant chat room' in the compose step. When the button is clicked, the e-mail server calls the link key service server. To export the service screen to the user's screen. When the user completes the link key issuing procedure described above on the screen, the e-mail server receives the link key. This is implemented by a client server program on the email server and service server. The link key thus passed is attached to an attached file or the URL included in the link key is hyperlinked in the body of the letter being prepared.

Hereinafter, an example of applying a personal chat room link key according to the present invention to an online business card will be described.

7 is an embodiment of an online business card according to the present invention.

When creating an online business card at the work site for creating, downloading, and managing the online business card, if the chat room link key 42 is attached to the online business card, the person who receives the online business card gives the business card by clicking the chat room link key 42: 1 You will be able to chat.

In order to effectively use the online business card as described above, a web page for viewing the image of the online business card on one page is provided, and there is a button 43 for downloading the business card therein. Tell the person you want in the chat room to see the business card on the web page by clicking on the address above, and if you want to download and manage it on your PC, you can use the chat room instead of exchanging your e-mail address or phone number. By simply passing the online business card web page address, an opponent can request an instant chat, such as TEXT or voice, to the owner of the business card when desired.

The link key 42 defines a hyperlink as a URL of a specific web page provided from a service server to obtain a job number and an IP address of a target to be accessed. (E.g. http://hippomail.com/chat/chatload?385QSAPI12/chat.jsp in Table 2)

Even if you meet a favorite person in the chat room, it is difficult to suggest that you exchange your e-mail address or phone number until you express each other's feelings. You can feel free to hand in the form of an excuse for self-introduction and after-sales request that you can chat again next time, and you can apply for instant chat at any time as long as the person who received the online business card has a good feeling. It will save you from breaking up without

The downloadable online business card may be a simple image file or may be in the form of a file having a specific format including an image, sound, text, various links, and the like. Since the construction of the web page for the online business card operation is possible within the general technique for constructing the homepage, a separate description thereof will be omitted.

In the past, a lot of online business cards were developed and worked, but the reason why they are not used publicly is that business cards are usually used to convey their introduction and contact information as they send and receive in the early stages. People who have a business card will not be able to exchange online business cards because they will have already exchanged business cards. After all, online business cards will be exchanged at the time of online relationship formation. The case seems to be common in chat rooms at this time, but since the online online business did not show more than the membership information provided by the member information view function provided by many current chat operations, the online business card was created separately and then other chats were made. Show to opponent There is almost no need to be exchanged in a chat room, online business cards and cards that have had a difficult doegie is commonly used. On the other hand, the online business card according to the present invention will serve as an after-sales service to hand over to a person who has a good feeling by linking an instant chat room that has not existed before, so that many people will make their own online business card and exchange them with each other. It is expected that if this becomes popular, anyone will eventually install and use the business card program that manages the online business card, and then it will naturally print the barcode 41 so that it can be registered and used on the online business card in the offline business card, or download the online business card. Integration attempts, such as printing the site address, will be created. In fact, online business cards can lead to the automation of all business card management. This is what makes the online business card according to the present invention effective in realizing the automation of business card management.

The link key according to the present invention has other useful effects. For example, if you attach your own instant chat link key to a bulletin board that buys and sells used goods, the other person with inquiries can read the post and make an inquiry immediately. There is no need to reveal personal information such as your phone number on the bulletin board.

In addition, the present invention can be usefully used in a field where it is necessary to allow others to perform a specific task performed on their computer.

As can be seen from the above description, the present invention can manage files due to file sharing problems without having to use the same messenger in advance, or need to be connected at the same time, regardless of the e-mail capacity, and with a low operation cost. The effect of sending large files without the need to manage IDs and passwords, the ability to attach instant chat rooms to emails, the ability to link instant chat rooms to online business cards, and automatic business card management. It has the effect of triggering popularization.
