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, and they are creating a cultural trend as the most common Internet-based service.

Early wired 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 digital photos taken with a built-in digital camera to one's own blog has also appeared. 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, the current blog service user 1) accesses the blog through a PC-based wired Internet, uploads text, photos, images, etc., and freely visits other people's blog sites to write or post. You can post to your own blog. 2) You can access your blog, upload a Short Message Service (SMS) or digital photos via wireless internet, but you are more restrictive than a wired internet based service. You can also visit the blog site. To use the blog service through a mobile phone, you have to use a special number or download a related program to your mobile phone.

In addition to the text, photo, and image upload services provided by the existing blog service, the present invention aims to upload a video file taken by a digital camera built into a mobile phone to his blog. To be able to do so.

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) It must be built on this network, and the service provider must assign a special number so that blog users can access the blog through their mobile phones.

Through the service providing method proposed by the present invention, a blog user can upload a video file directly to a blog by using a mobile phone registered to the blog.

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, the phone number information of the service user and the video file converted to be played on the Internet are provided with a service providing system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and an open communication gateway system (= Parlay gateway, Parlay Gateway or Media Server) saves and uploads to the relevant blog board.

The service delivery system (Open Communication Application Server (= Parlay Application Server) and Open Communication Gateway System (= Parlay Gateway) or Media Server) is the service user's telephone with the service user's request. It accepts the number information and runs the service logic for the service to convert the stored video file into a playable form on the Internet. Then, the phone number information of the service user and the converted video file are transmitted together to the server program of the corresponding blog operator.

In the first service provisioning method, an open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway, Parlay Gateway) provides a service by interworking with communication network additional equipment (Multimedia Message Server: MMS, etc.) owned by the existing telecommunications carrier. In a scheme, a system called a media server provides a service through an in-device providing function. 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 the mobile phone number he / she wants to use through the authentication process. If necessary, a process of setting a folder to upload video files separately is performed. When the service subscription process is completed, the registered mobile 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. First, a video file to be uploaded is selected from the video files recorded and stored with the digital camera built into the mobile phone. Select the Attach and Send Video menu and write text to send along if necessary. If the blog operator enters a special number assigned by the service provider and clicks the call button, the service provider system (open communication application server (= Parlay Application Server) and open communication gateway system (= Parlay Gateway) Alternatively, service logic (Media Server) in the media server is driven to convert the video file transmitted by the service user into a form that can be played on the Internet and stored. The saved video file is transmitted to the blog server program along with the telephone number information of the service user. As a result, people who visited the blog of the service user can select the post where the video is uploaded and browse the video file.

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

1) Enhance upload function using mobile phone

The blog service coverage has been extended from wired to wireless Internet, and digital pictures taken via mobile phones can be uploaded using a special number provided by a carrier. Through the present invention, not only digital photos but also video files can be uploaded to their blogs, thereby enabling the use of an advanced form of service than the existing photo upload service.

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 (= parlay). In the case of using a gateway, Parlay Gateway)), the service development period can be shortened and the cost can be reduced by providing the same service regardless of the type of the lower communication network (wired network, wireless network, or Internet network).
