The blog service that adds the function of setting up the relationship with others to the existing homepage function and greatly strengthens the decorating, multimedia and management functions has recently appeared. There are a large number of blog operators, including major portal operators, who are now creating a cultural trend as the most common Internet-based service.

In the early days, wired Internet-based blogging services expanded its reach to wireless Internet, allowing users to access blogs on the wireless Internet, search for posts, or upload posts via SMS (Short Message Service). Recently, a service for uploading photographs to a blog has been introduced. In order to upload a picture, a blog service to which a user subscribes must register and authenticate his / her mobile phone number, and a blog operator must use a special number assigned by a mobile operator.

In summary, current blog service users can either: 1) access a blog via a PC-based wired Internet, upload text, photos, images, videos, etc., and freely visit other people's blog sites to write; You can post a post to your own blog, 2) It's more restrictive than wired internet-based service, but you can access your blog via wireless internet to upload SMS (Short Message Service) or photos, and also blog others' blogs. You can also visit the site. To use the blog service over the wireless Internet, you have to use a special number or download the relevant program to your phone.

The problem to be achieved by the present invention is a voice message (voice message) recorded through a landline phone, a mobile phone or an internet phone, in addition to the text (text), photos, images, video upload service provided by the existing blog service To upload to your blog.

In order to realize the service providing method proposed in the present invention, a service providing system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server), open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) or media server) Must be established on the telecommunications network, and the telecommunications operator must assign a special number to each blog so that blog users can dial and record voice messages.

Through the service providing method proposed by the present invention, a blog user can upload a voice message recorded using a landline phone, a mobile phone, or an internet phone, which is registered in a blog, to his blog. It will also be possible to develop additional services in the form of applications linked with existing photos or SMS (Short Message Service).

1 shows a schematic diagram of a network system for providing a service according to the present invention. As shown in the schematic diagram, a system implementation for realizing the service providing method proposed in the present invention is possible in two ways. The first service provision method is implemented by an open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) system. The second service providing method is a media server (Media Server). ).

In both ways, the role of the blog server program is the same. In the blog server program, a service number system (open communication application server (= parlay application) is provided with telephone number information of a service user who recorded his / her voice by calling a special number and a voice message converted for playback on the Internet. It receives and stores from the server, Parlay Application Server and open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway, or Media Server) and uploads it to the relevant blog board.

Service delivery systems (Open Communication Application Server (= Parlay Application Server) and Open Communication Gateway System (= Parlay Gateway) or Media Server) accept the service user's request The service logic for the service is driven and an announcement broadcast is sent to the service user. When the voice recording is completed, the stored voice message is converted into a playable form on the Internet and transmitted to the server program of the blog operator together with the telephone number information of the service user.

In the first service providing method, an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) provides services in conjunction with communication network additional equipment (information broadcasting equipment, etc.) owned by the existing telecommunications service provider. The United Messaging System (UMS) or Automatic Response System (ARS) system, referred to as the Media Server, provides services through on-device provisioning. In particular, in the first service providing method, communication between an open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) is performed through an open standard Parlay API. Parlay API is a technology established by Parlay Group formed by several international telecommunication service providers. It is an open technology that allows third-party application services to safely use communication network resources through standard APIs.

2 is a diagram illustrating a subscription flow of a service proposed in the present invention. First, the blog owner logs in to the blog operator's site and registers his / her landline, cellular or internet phone number through the authentication process. If necessary, a procedure of setting a folder to upload a voice message separately is performed. When the service subscription process is completed, the registered phone number information and other set information are stored in the blog server program.

3 is a diagram illustrating a usage flowchart of a service proposed in the present invention. After completing the service subscription, the service user calls the special number assigned by the blog operator. When the telephone is connected, the service logic in the service providing system is driven to send the announcement to the service user. The service user records his / her voice according to the announcement broadcast, and when the recording is completed, the voice message is converted into a form that can be played on the Internet and stored in the service providing system. The stored voice message is sent to the blog server program along with the telephone number information of the service user. As a result, people who visit the blog of the service user can select the bulletin board and select the post in which the voice message is stored to listen to the voice message of the blog owner.

The effects of the present invention can be divided as follows.

1) Diversification of blog composition

The blog service available area has been extended from the wired Internet to the wireless internet, but the upload function provided was limited to text, pictures, images, and videos. However, the present invention enables the user to upload a voice message to his blog by using a landline phone, a mobile phone or an internet phone, and through interworking with an upload service provided previously. Various additional services can be developed in the applied form.

2) Cost reduction for service providers

Service providers related to service providers and blog operators use a standardized API among the service providing systems proposed in the present invention (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server), open communication gateway system (= In the case of using a Parlay Gateway), the service development period can be shortened and the cost can be reduced by providing the same service regardless of the types of the lower communication networks (wired network, wireless network, and Internet network).
