Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for responding to e-mail by using a mobile communication terminal is provided to retrieve a telephone number of an originator by using an e-mail address of the originator if a receiver cannot respond to e-mail of the originator, and to deliver a pre-registered voice to the originator, thereby smoothly performing communication between the originator and the receiver. CONSTITUTION: If e-mail is received, a system transmits an e-mail address of an e-mail originator to a mobile communication terminal of a receiver through a wireless mobile communication network(SP1). The mobile communication terminal of the receiver retrieves a telephone directory with the e-mail address of the originator(SP2). If a telephone number registered in the telephone directory exists, the mobile communication terminal delivers a pre-registered voice to the telephone number(SP4,SP5). If the telephone number registered in the telephone directory does not exist, the mobile communication terminal of the receiver transmits pre-registered mail to the originator(SP6-SP8).

Description

E-mail response method using mobile communication terminal {E-MAIL RESPONSE METHOD IN USING MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to an e-mail response method using a mobile communication terminal, and in particular, when a response to an e-mail cannot be immediately answered, the phone number is searched and registered in advance by the user's mobile communication terminal using the sender's e-mail address. The present invention relates to an e-mail response method using a mobile communication terminal for transmitting a voice to an e-mail sender.

Recently, due to the development of the Internet, many people use e-mail as a means of communication.

The e-mail is a new personal communication method for exchanging letters or various information between computer users using a computer communication network.

In other words, the e-mail can conceptually send or receive a letter or material contained in a computer to communicate with the other person, which is very similar to the postal mail. However, the general letter is delivered in person but the e-mail is transmitted through a communication network. It is delivered, and unlike regular letters, it does not take time to send and receive.

In addition, unlike a telephone, an e-mail can transmit a letter or data even when the other party is away. An e-mail is a communication method that has the advantages of recordability of a letter and immediateness of a telephone.

In order to use the e-mail, any communication network must be subscribed to a communication network. If a company or organization's closed communication network is used, only the company or institution's people can use the e-mail. People can use e-mail.

Of course, you can use the Internet to send and receive email with anyone in the world who has an Internet email address.

However, the e-mail has a large one-way characteristic rather than two-way, that is, if the recipient of the e-mail can not immediately check the e-mail response to this will be delayed.

Therefore, the user sends the return mail in a predetermined sentence in case the e-mail cannot be confirmed.

However, in such an e-mail response method, since a formal e-mail is sent with the same content regardless of who the e-mail is sent from, the pre-set sentence cannot contain important contents, and the e-mail is sent from the sender's point of view. There is a hassle to search your e-mail list vaguely at regular intervals to check your e-mail.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and when the answer to the e-mail can not be immediately answered by using the sender's e-mail address to search the phone number in the user's mobile communication terminal to pre-registered voice The purpose of the present invention is to provide an e-mail response method using a mobile communication terminal that enables a smooth communication between the sender and the receiver by sending an e-mail to the sender.
