Description

Mail transmission system using mobile phone number as email address and method thereof {SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAIL TRANSMISSION TO MOBILE PHONE NEMBER}

The present invention relates to a system and method for transmitting mail using a user's mobile phone number as an e-mail address. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of transmitting a mail using a personal mobile phone number as an e-mail address, and to send a text message immediately after the mail is sent. The present invention relates to a mail transmission system and a method using a mobile phone number as an email address to notify a recipient of an arrival of a mail.

More specifically, it is necessary to classify and store the mail space by mobile phone number so that the mail address is replaced with the user's mobile phone number, and the subject and the mail confirmation address of the mail are sent to the mobile phone as a text message so that the mail address can be assigned from a separate mail server. The present invention relates to a mail transmission system and method using a mobile phone number as an e-mail address, which enables transmission and reception of a mail using only a mobile phone number, and informs a recipient of an arrival of a mail through a text message upon transmission of the mail.

In general, the e-mail address system in the existing wireless Internet forms an e-mail address in which an ID consisting of an English domain address based on an IP address and a mobile phone number is combined with @ as a delimiter. A separate ID is given from a separate authenticated computer (server with IP), and a mail address is assigned, and mail is sent and received around a separate authenticated computer (server with IP).

Existing mail is sent and received by the computer as described above, the user is exposed to illegal advertisement mail or unwanted spam mail, and it is almost impossible to verify the sender's address. In addition, there is almost no way to notify the user of the arrival of the mail immediately by the mail itself.

Currently, there are some systems that notify the arrival of the mail to their mobile phones upon separate subscription. However, in order for the sender to use it, the sender must know both the mail address in English and the mobile phone number. Since you need to be notified of all unnecessary e-mails on your phone, you cannot use it practically.

In order to solve this problem, a paid conversion method has been devised for the existing free mail, but this cannot be the ultimate solution.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, classify and store the mail space to the mobile phone number and replace the mail address with the user's mobile phone number, the subject of the mail and the email confirmation address sent to the mobile phone as a text message This allows you to send and receive mail using only your mobile phone number without having to assign a mail address from a separate mail server, and uses a mobile phone number as your email address to notify the recipient of the arrival of your mail via text message. And a method thereof.
