Operation through telephone connection in the Internet broadcasting apparatus of FIG. 1 having such a configuration will be described in detail.

The broadcaster transmits the broadcast contents or the contents arbitrarily produced through the PC 11 as the voice and text information to the broadcast server 12 (s1). The broadcast server 12 transmits the voice information and the text information received from the broadcaster PC 11 to the user PC 20 connected to the Internet (s2), so that the user can watch the Internet broadcast. The user inputs through the input means of the user PC 20, such as a keyboard, if there is a question while watching the Internet broadcast displayed on the PC 20 screen. At this time, the user PC 20 and the broadcaster PC 11 is communicated in a general chat method.

In addition to transmitting the voice information and text information to the user PC 20 through the broadcast server 12 in real time (s2), the present invention allows the user to send and receive voice messages as well as text chats. . That is, the telephone terminal 30, such as a mobile phone or a general telephone, dials into the ARS server 90, and transmits a voice signal containing questions to the broadcast server 12 through the VoIP gateway 14 (s3 → s4 → s5), the broadcast server 12 allows the broadcaster to listen to it, and transmits voice information about the answer of the broadcaster to the user's telephone terminal 30 in reverse operation (s5 → s4 → s3). Here, interactive broadcasting is performed between the broadcaster and the user. The broadcaster PC 11 has a switching switch module (not shown) that can selectively switch between personal communication and public broadcasting. Thus, the broadcaster can not only perform a broadcast in real time by operating the switching switch module in the broadcaster PC 11, but also communicate texts or voices with the user. The broadcaster converts and transmits randomly generated information and voice information, text information, picture information, etc. containing chat contents in broadcast or broadcast text and voice broadcasting contents in response to questions received by text chatting or voice. Deliver to server 13. The conversion transmission server 13 converts and transmits the voice information, the text information, the picture information, etc., which are received from the broadcaster PC 11, according to the format of web, web, WAP, ARS, and the like. The data format transmitted from the broadcaster PC 11 to the conversion transmission server 13 is picture information of "jpg, gif, png", voice information of "wave" format, and text information of "html" format. When uploading such information to the swap server 50, the file format "wml, wbmp, jpg" and the color and size are converted and uploaded to obtain the information according to the type of the mobile phone 100 (s7). Web server 40 receives the information of the html and jpg format from the conversion transmission server 13 to the data room of the page (s6), the swap server 50 also from the conversion transmission server 13 (Wireless Internet) page Upload the information in the format of wml / me.wbmp.jpg to the archive (s7). The ARS server 90 receives the wave form information from the conversion transmission server 13 (s11). The conversion transmission server 13 uploads simultaneously or separately to the web page and the archive of the swap page and the ARS server 90, and that the information has been uploaded, the SMS server 60, the swap push server 70, the messenger server 80 Through the mobile phone 100 and transmits to the user PC (20). At this time, since the SMS server 60 sends the phone number to the user side, it is directly connected to the ARS server 90 by one push of a "call" button. Since the swap push server 70 sends a "URL", it is also connected to the swap server 50 by one push. The user accesses the web server 40 through the PC 20, accesses the swap server 50 through the mobile phone 100, or accesses the ARS server 90 through the phone terminal 30, and then connects the servers 30. You can get the information uploaded at (50,90) again.

For example, when the user wants to listen to the broadcast while the user cannot use the Internet or on the move, the user connects to the ARS server 90 using the telephone terminal 30 such as a mobile phone or a general telephone (s3). The broadcast server 12 provides the broadcast contents transmitted from the broadcaster PC 11 to the ARS server 90 as voice information in real time through the VoIP gateway 14. Thus, the user listens in real time to the broadcast contents that are relayed by voice through the telephone terminal 30 in a state of being connected to the ARS server 90.

As another example, if a user has questions about the contents of a broadcast while using the Internet broadcast to the broadcast server 12 through the PC 20, the user may access the ARS server 90 through the telephone terminal 30. Dial (s3). With the telephone connected to the ARS server 90, the user voices a question. The VoIP gateway 14 connected to the ARS server 90 converts the analog voice signal containing the user's question into a digital form and transmits it to the broadcast server 12 (s5). The broadcast server 12 transmits the digital voice signal containing the user's question from the VoIP gateway 14 to the broadcaster PC 11 so that the broadcaster can listen (s1). The broadcaster may select whether or not to open the call together with the call by operating a switching switch module (not shown) in the broadcaster PC 11 for the contents of the conversation with the user, that is, the question and the answer. That is, the switching switch module is operated by judging the public effect of the user's query contents or response contents. When the switching switch module is selected as the personal communication side, the response contents are provided only to the telephone terminal 30 connected to the ARS server 90, and when the public broadcasting is selected, the query is transmitted in real time through the broadcasting server 12. The response is broadcast. That is, when the user's questions are delivered to the broadcaster by telephone connection to the ARS server 90, the answer is publicly provided through the broadcast server 12, and the web server 40 through the conversion transmission server 13 ) Or provided by the swap server 50 as text information, and a method provided by the ARS server 90 as voice information.

As another example, when the user wants to listen to the previously broadcasted voice information or the broadcaster's randomly uploaded voice information, the user connects to the ARS server 90 through the telephone terminal 30 (s3). In the state of being connected to the ARS server 90, the user sets a predetermined time point or selects randomly uploaded voice information according to the automatic response guide of the ARS server 90. The ARS server 90 has already uploaded the broadcasted or broadcast content of the "wave" format through the conversion transmission server 13. This will be described in detail later. The ARS server 90 transmits the voice information to the telephone terminal 30 connected to the telephone in response to the user selection of the uploaded voice information so that the user can listen through the telephone terminal 30.

As another example, when a user wants to see text information that has been previously broadcasted or text information uploaded by a broadcaster, a request is made through an ARS server 90 instead of a web server 40 or a previously provided URL. To receive the URL via a WAP push server (70). The user connects the "URL" transmitted from the swap server 70 to the swap server 50 having the corresponding URL by pushing a button on the mobile phone 100, that is, the swap button. In the state of wireless Internet connection to the swap server 50, the user can download and view the text information uploaded to the swap server 50.

On the other hand, there are two types of uploading voice information and text information to the web server 40, the swap server 50, the ARS server 90 on the Internet broadcasting equipment 10 side. One is to be uploaded automatically, and the other is to be uploaded arbitrarily by a broadcaster's operation. Automatically uploaded forms are classified according to time and uploaded. For example, when set to 1 minute, the voice information and text information of the broadcast contents are divided into 1 minute units, and the web server ( 40), the transfer is uploaded to the swap server 50 and the ARS server (90). The arbitrary upload form by the operation of the broadcaster is a web server 40 or a swap server which converts the voice information and the text information produced by a specific part of the broadcast content or by a user's request through the conversion transmission server 13. 50 and the ARS server 90 are uploaded (s6, s7, s11).

When uploading the voice information to the ARS server 90, the broadcaster uses the CID (Caller ID) to answer the question through the telephone terminal 30 connected to the ARS server 90 to provide the corresponding information. Upload in conjunction. In other words, when uploading, the calling party number and the desired information of the calling party are connected together and stored. When the caller connects to obtain the information, the calling party number is found again and the corresponding information is automatically announced without selection. When the user accesses the ARS server 90 through the telephone terminal 30, the user can automatically hear the answer according to the CID. Connecting to the ARS server 90 to select and play back is described later.

When uploading the character information to the swap server 50, the broadcaster "URL" which can be connected to the swap server 50 via the swap push server 70 to the user's mobile phone 100 through the conversion transmission server 13 Send it. The user can access the "URL" received by the push push to view the character information according to the CID uploaded to the swap server 50.

When uploading the voice and text information to the web server 40, the broadcaster uploads to the web server 40 through the conversion transmission server 13 so that the user can obtain the information through the Internet connection.

When the information randomly produced by the broadcaster is uploaded to the web server 40, the swap server 50, and the ARS server 90, the SMS server 60, the swap server 70, and the messenger server 80 are uploaded. Send a phone number or URL to access the message to the member user's mobile phone 100 or PC 20 to inform the member users that new information has been generated. Member users can be aware of the occurrence of new information through messenger or SMS even when not connected to the Internet broadcasting equipment (10). When the new information is notified, the member users can access the desired server side of the web server 40, the swap server 50, or the ARS server 90 to immediately see the broadcaster's arbitrarily produced information.

For example, a method of obtaining a query and voice information by accessing the ARS server 90 by the telephone terminal 30 is made by connecting to the ARS server 90 by the telephone terminal 30. The ARS server 90 guides the user through the automatic response to the telephone terminal 30 connected to the "one time real time listening, the second time the inquiry, the third time the automatic upload playback, the fourth time the search playback". When the user selects "1" by operating a numeric key on the keypad of the telephone terminal 30, the ARS server 90 receives voice information currently being broadcast through the broadcasting server 12 in real time, and the telephone terminal 30 Broadcast on). If the number "2" is selected, the ARS server 90 sends the voice signal containing the user's inquiry input through the telephone terminal 30 to the broadcaster PC 11 through the VoIP gateway 14 and the broadcast server 12. To make it available to the broadcaster. Here, the broadcaster may operate the switching switch module in the broadcaster PC 11 to send an answer to the broadcaster along with the broadcaster's voice information through the broadcast server 12. In addition, if the answer to the inquiry from the user is not the content to be disclosed separately to make the voice information according to the user's CID number is uploaded to the ARS server 90. When selecting "3", the ARS server 90 can listen to the informed voice information by selecting the DTMF signal as the voice information automatically uploaded by the guide or the guidance "What time do you want to listen?" have. If "4" is selected, CID can be used to automatically listen to voice information according to the CID number in the "2" inquiry.

This operation provides an opportunity for the user to participate in broadcasting through voice and to provide various voice information and text information to the Internet broadcasting without affecting the quality of the Internet broadcasting.

As described above, the Internet broadcasting apparatus and method for making a telephone connection according to the present invention connect a VoIP gateway to a broadcasting server that performs Internet broadcasting, and dial in a telephone terminal such as a mobile phone or a general telephone to provide users with late typing. In addition, the two-way broadcasting enables users to realistically participate in and exchange the questions and responses to the contents broadcast in real time, and has the effect of listening to the Internet broadcasting on the move or in the absence of the Internet. In addition, randomly produced or broadcasted or pre-broadcasted voice, text and picture information can be uploaded through WEB, WAP, ARS, etc. to be viewed again through various paths. Be informed of the occurrence of the information through SMS has the effect that you can immediately access without losing important information. In addition, one-on-one consultations can be obtained through a telephone connection, and responses can be shared to clarify the responsibility for information.
