The billing processing system 14 is a system that is in charge of integrated billing processing for service use of the service subscriber.

The media server 15 is a system for processing the announcement of the announcement when the user needs the announcement in the case of a call connection or a service that converts the message into voice.

An intelligent network database (DB) 16 manages intelligent network subscriber information.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Proxy Server / H.323 GK (Gatekeeper) 17 stores location information of an Internet phone (limited to an Internet phone operating on a PC and a PDA) connected to the Internet. It is a system to manage.

The wireless terminal 18 refers to a mobile phone and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) terminal equipped with a messenger and provided with a voice packet service function such as voice call (one-to-one or one-to-many group call) or voice message.

As shown in FIG. 1, users who use a messenger mounted in the wireless terminal 18 receive a presence function from the messenger server 11 via a wireless network. When the user selects the messenger in the wireless terminal 18, a login window as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed. The user logs into the messenger with an ID and password, and at this time, the user can select a service domain to which he / she wants to access.

In the present invention, a messenger application that can be commonly used in all service domains is designed. Therefore, you can select the service you are using. For example, when selecting an intelligent network, enter your intelligent network number (eg, 0525001212), and in the case of Megapass, enter your Megapass ID and password.

The login information of the user is authenticated by the messenger server 11 via the wireless network, and upon successful authentication, the messenger screen as shown in FIG. 3 is activated on the wireless terminal 18. On the messenger screen of FIG. 3, an individual may show an online or non-online state, and in the case of a group of one or more individuals, buddy information displayed by different icons may be provided.

2 is an exemplary view showing a messenger login screen in a voice packet service method using a messenger in a wireless terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 2, the messenger in the wireless terminal 18 provides a voice packet service. Here, the voice packet service means a chat, voice message, or voice call (one-to-one or one-to-many group call) function, and default settings can be specified.

In the present invention, since the wired call is generated in the wireless terminal 18, it is designed to call the voice call function when the buddy is selected (double click). In the case of the chat in FIG. 1, the wireless terminal 18 and the messenger server 11 are supported as interworking. In the case of a note and a call function, an operation is transferred from the messenger server 11 to the hosting application server 12.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a voice packet service method using a messenger in a wireless terminal according to the present invention.

First, a scenario for implementing a one-to-one (1: 1) voice call function among voice packet services will be described. Here, the specifications of Tables 2 and 3 are followed.

First, when a service user logs in a messenger on the wireless terminal 18 (401), the messenger server 11 authenticates it and displays buddy information (registrant, group, etc.) registered upon successful authentication. (402). That is, upon successful login (401), the buddy information registered by the user is activated as shown in FIG. 3 on the screen of the wireless terminal 18 (402).

Thereafter, when the service user selects (double-clicks) a friend (an opponent for a one-to-one call) or a group (a group for a one-to-many call) for a voice call on a messenger (403), the messenger server 11 displays [Table 1]. Call the call operation (request, results) to the hosting application server 12 according to the interface protocol of the reference (see [Table 2] and [Table 3]) (404).

The hosting application server 12 then analyzes the message (parsing) and invokes the click call service logic.

Looking at the click call service logic in more detail as follows.

According to the click call service logic, first, the service gateway 13 requests to create a call with the calling number (405a). At this time, if the calling number is the intelligent network number, the intelligent network DB 16 inquires the actual calling number, and then requests the service gateway 13 to call generation with the actual calling number.

Then, the service gateway 13 executes the call generation by the SSP, and the caller number designated by the service user (this caller ID is not only the caller's number of the landline phone but also the caller's number of the wireless phone is possible. Cheap wired packet charges occur). At this time, when the user receives the calling terminal, the hosting application server 12 instructs the media server 15 to transmit the announcement to the service gateway 13. In response to this command, the media server 15 transmits the announcement to the user's terminal (calling terminal), “in connection with the other party” (406a).

Through such a process (405a, 406a), the caller may establish a connection by designating the calling terminal to which the caller will call.

On the other hand, the hosting application server 12 requests the service gateway 13 to call generation by the called number (405b). In this case, the hosting application server 12 calls the Parlay Generic Call Control logic of the service gateway 13.

Then, the service gateway 13 connects the call to the called terminal (wired / wireless / internet terminal, if the called number is the intelligent network number, and connects to the corresponding number after the actual called number is retrieved from the intelligent network DB) (406b). At this time, if the called terminal is an Internet terminal, after determining the location information through the SIP proxy server or the H.323 GK, and establishes a connection to the corresponding terminal.

When the called terminal is established in this way, a call is established between the calling terminal and the called terminal (407).

On the other hand, in the case of a group call, the steps of "405b, 406b" are repeatedly performed as many times as the number of called terminal numbers in the above process to establish the connection of the corresponding called numbers. In this case, the hosting application server 12 calls a conference call service of the service gateway 13.

The service gateway 13 notifies the billing processing system after generating billing data for all currency calls. At this time, since the calling terminal is designated as a wired terminal, wired packet charging is established.

In the case of a call (one-to-one, one-to-many) function, the buddy number registered in the messenger can be a personal number or a company number. In addition, these numbers may be intelligent network numbers that are virtual numbers rather than actual numbers. That is, it can be a lifetime number 0502 for individuals and 1588 representative numbers for companies. In the present invention, since the hosting application server 12 refers to the intelligent network DB 16, it is possible to ensure the privacy of the individual by referring to the intelligent network DB 16, by connecting to the actual calling or destination number.

In the case of voice message transmission, the following scenario procedure is performed, although not shown in the drawing.

First, a service user logs in a messenger on the wireless terminal 18, and the buddy information (registrant, group, etc.) registered by the user through authentication of the messenger server 11 is displayed on the screen of the wireless terminal 18 as shown in FIG. In the activated state, the voice message is selected (double-clicked) by a friend (a person for a one-to-one call) or a group (a group for a one-to-many call), and a message and a transmission method to be sent are selected. At this time, the transmission method is available for immediate transmission and scheduled timed transmission. The scheduled timed transmission displays a default value as the current time, and can be modified by the user using the backspace, and can be specified in minutes in the format of YYMMDDHHMM.

Thereafter, the messenger server 11 calls a voice message operation (request, result) to the hosting application server 12 according to the interface protocol of [Table 1] (see [Table 4] and [Table 5]).

Hosting application server 12 then analyzes the message (parsing operation) and invokes voice message service logic.

Looking at the voice message service logic in more detail as follows.

According to the voice message service logic, first, the text input by the service user is converted into VXML (Voice eXtensible Markup Language) format, and in the case of immediate transmission, a call generation request is made to the service gateway 13. Then, the service gateway 13 requests the call generation to the media server 15.

In this case, a general call service (Parlay Generic Call Control) operation of the service gateway 13 is requested, and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information is transmitted together to perform VXML.

Therefore, the voice message created by the service user is stored in the actual hosting application server 12, and the media server 15 can transmit the actually stored voice message to the called party with reference to the URL information.

On the other hand, the hosting application server 12 requests the call generation to the service gateway 13 for the called number, the service gateway 13 is called terminal (wired / wireless / internet terminal, if the called number is the intelligent network number, the actual network in the intelligent network DB After calling the called party number, connect the call.

When the terminating terminal is connected in this way, the media server 15 converts the VXML to the hosting application server 12 by referring to the URL information and sends a voice message to the terminating terminal.

On the other hand, in the case of voice message delivery to the group, during the above-described process, the call connection establishment step is repeatedly performed as many times as the called terminal number to establish the connection of the corresponding call numbers.

As described above, the present invention relates to a method for processing 1: 1 dialing, group call dialing, and voice message transmission for a user list registered in a messenger after a messenger login in a wireless terminal. When the user double-clicks, the request is delivered to the wired network system. The wired network system generates an outgoing call to a terminal designated by the sender (a wireless terminal or a wired terminal, an internet terminal, etc.), and then connects to the called party. Create a call to support the call.

According to the present invention, a telephone that a user wants to make is generated in a wired network, so that it can be used at a low cost compared to a call usage fee in a wireless terminal, and supports a group call for a group registered in a messenger buddy as well as a 1: 1 call. do. It is also possible to designate one's outgoing call as another telephone (wireless or wired or internet terminal) while creating a call by double-clicking on the wireless terminal.

The method of the present invention as described above may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.). Since this process can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art will not be described in more detail.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

The present invention as described above, the first user to use the wireless terminal to send a call or voice message when the call charges to the wireless terminal, by reducing the amount of call charges by assigning the calling terminal to the arbitrary terminal in the wired network It is possible to prevent the loss of wired network call when the call is transferred to the wireless network due to the convenience of the mobile phone, and also to provide excellent call quality through the stable wired network infrastructure. It works.

Second, by designing a messenger to be used in common for all services provided by wireline operators, it provides easy download procedure of application programs in wireless terminal and provides group call function which is not provided in wireless terminal. It can increase the effect.

Third, by setting the service provision base as a messenger, it is possible to freely register a friend or a group to a buddy on a PC, not a wireless terminal.

Fourth, since the call connection is initiated from the wired network, number translation is possible for various intelligent network service numbers that have been provided.
