The present invention relates to a text message transmission method, and more particularly, to a message transmission method for combining or merging a text message and an image corresponding to the content to be transmitted to a receiving terminal.

Currently, the use of text messages is increasing rapidly with the spread of portable terminals. Text messages are mainly used socially by youth. Accordingly, diversity is required in text message services. That is, the sender needs various types of supplementary services such as a text message and an image to be sent to the receiver in order to increase the recognition of the message by sending an image along with a text message.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2004-0000086 includes: 'a first step of generating a header when a text message sender completes input of a desired text message and combining the text message with the text message; A second step of selecting whether to combine the wallpaper, to store the message, or to transmit the message; Performing a third step of storing the input message in a storage means when the message storage menu is selected in the second step; and transmitting the input message to the designated receiver by transmitting the input message to the designated receiver when the message transmission menu is selected. Performing a fourth step and combining the background image with the input text message when the background image combining menu is selected; A sixth step of selecting whether to store a message having a combined background image or to transmit a message after the fifth step; In the sixth step, if the message storage menu is selected, the second step is performed, and if the message transmission menu is selected, the fourth step is performed to transmit and display a message combined with a background screen to a designated recipient. have.

However, this conventional technique has a long and troublesome message transmission process. That is, in the related art, in order to combine an image in a text message, a process of selecting a menu from a menu provided through a terminal is performed several times, thereby having difficulty in transmitting a message.

In addition, the conventional technology has a problem in that the image transmission is possible only through the subscriber line of the sender is not smooth compatibility between the subscribers. In other words, the service for combining images into text messages is provided for each communication company in its own way. For example, in case of K company, if a specific supplementary service code is added in front of the number of the receiving terminal and transmitted, the K company checks the code defined in its agreement and performs the supplementary service. Therefore, the sender has a problem that it is difficult to use the service through the unspecified telecommunications company because of the additional service code added to the corresponding telecommunications company.

In addition, the prior art had a problem that it is impossible to receive or display the original image if the original image is transmitted as it is. In other words, currently used client terminals have different display capabilities and thus have different acceptable images. In more detail, the client terminal needs an image format suitable for the size, resolution (number of pixels) and capacity of the display. Therefore, carriers need to prepare and set different kinds of images in advance to match the types of terminals. For example, in case of domestic S company, [GIF (96 * 48 / B & W / freesize), GIF (120 * 80 / 4gray / freesize), GIF (120 * 96 / color / freesize), SIS (96 * 48 / B & W / 1k), SIS (120 * 80 / 4gray / 3k), and other image formats are prepared in advance, and stored in a database server to selectively supply a format suitable for the format of the terminal of the client accessing the main server. There was a problem that the burden of service is increased.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a message transmission method that can simplify message transmission by automatically selecting, combining, or merging images corresponding to a message sent from a sender. In providing.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an image transmission method that enables transmission of a combined image through an unspecified telecommunication company even when the subscriber line is different.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message transmission method for enabling transmission of an image combined with text in a form suitable for a type of a receiving terminal.

The object of the present invention is to transmit a text message along with the supplementary service code and the receiving terminal number to the phone-web switching system, reading the supplementary service code and delivering the message to the corresponding server, and extracting the key word from the message. Extracting, searching for an image corresponding to a keyword extracted from an image database, generating a combined image by combining the stored text message with the retrieved image, and collecting and analyzing information of the terminal using the information. And a text message transmission method comprising the steps of: processing the combined image to match the receiving terminal; and transmitting the processed image to the receiving terminal. The text message is 20 bytes or less. , The text message is written to the retrieved image and processed as a single image. It is.

If the text message is 20 bytes or more, the text message is arranged in parallel in the text state and transmitted in the vicinity of the searched image.

On the other hand, an object of the present invention is a transmitting terminal for transmitting texts to a subscriber management device, a phone-web switching system for converting text messages to be communicated between a phone and a web, and a text message converted in a phone-web switching system. It is equipped with a key word extraction means for extracting key words from the text of the text message by receiving the text message.It is linked with the image database and searches for images corresponding to the extracted key words, and at the same time, combines the searched images and text messages to create a combined image. And a receiving terminal information analyzing apparatus for extracting receiving terminal information, an image processing apparatus for processing a combined image based on the receiving terminal information to match the display of the receiving terminal, and a processed image to the receiving terminal. It is delivered by a text message transmission system composed of a text message transmitter. Can be made.

The phone-web switching system analyzes the information transmitted from the transmitting terminal to determine whether the additional service is necessary based on the additional service code, and the text message through the Internet network when the text message is required for the additional service. An additional service management device for transmitting to the server specified in the code.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 shows a system configuration of a preferred embodiment of a message transmission method according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, the present invention includes a phone-web switching system 20 for receiving a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 10 to enable communication between the phone and the web. The character transmitted from the transmitting terminal 10 is composed of text only, and the additional service code is transmitted together with the number of the receiving terminal. The phone-web switching system is composed of a subscriber management device 22 and an additional service management device 24. The subscriber management apparatus 22 analyzes the information sent from the transmitting terminal to determine whether the additional service is necessary based on the additional service code, and the additional service management apparatus 24 is a text message when the additional message is required. Is transmitted to the server specified in the code through the Internet.

The phone-web switching system 20 includes a main server 30 that receives the converted text message. The main server 30 is allocated differently according to the additional service code transmitted from the transmitting terminal. That is, the specific supplementary service code is configured to transmit a message only to any one server. The main server 30 includes a key word extracting means 32 for extracting a key word from the text of the received text message, and an image search device 34 for searching for an image corresponding to the extracted key word.

On the other hand, an image database 36 is provided which cooperates with the image retrieval device 34. The main server 30 generates a combined image by combining the retrieved image and the text message.

The present invention includes a receiver terminal information analysis device 40 for extracting the receiver terminal information. The receiving terminal 70 information includes the size of the display and the type of image supported.

The image processing apparatus 50 is provided for receiving the combined image generated by the main server 30 and at the same time receiving the information of the receiving terminal 70 to generate an image to be transmitted. The image processing apparatus 50 generates a transmission image by processing the combined image to match the display based on the information of the receiving terminal 70.

And, there is shown a text message transmitting apparatus 60 for transmitting the processed image to the receiving terminal 70. The text message transmitting apparatus transmits an image by using a receiving subscriber line.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a text message transmission method according to the present invention having such a configuration.

According to this, first, a step (S1) of transmitting a supplementary service text message to the phone-web switching system is performed. Along with the text message transmitted, the telephone number of the receiving terminal and the additional service code are transmitted together. The supplementary service code is sent in front of the recipient's telephone number. Next, a step (S2) of reading a supplementary service code and delivering a message to a corresponding server is performed. Since the supplementary service code corresponds to a specific server, a message is transmitted to the corresponding summer.

Subsequently, the main server extracts a key word from the message content (S3). The key word extraction is to compare the text of the text message with a table containing a specific word to extract a matching word, and if there are a lot of extracted words, it is preferable to select the one with the highest frequency.

When the key word is extracted, step S4 of searching for an image corresponding to the key word extracted from the image database is performed. In the image database, each image is stored as a file name that is expected to be extracted, and image search is performed by comparing the extracted key word and file name. Subsequently, the stored image is combined with the retrieved image to generate a combined image (S5). The retrieved image is combined with the original text message, where it is desirable to integrate or parallelize the image and text depending on the size (capacity) of the text message.

For example, if the text message is 20 bytes or less, it is preferable that the text message is written in a text style on the searched image and then processed as one image and transmitted. In addition, if the text message is 20 bytes or more, the text message is preferably merged and transmitted in the text state in the vicinity of the searched image as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, a step S6 of collecting receiving terminal information is performed. The receiving terminal information transmits a Uniform Resource Location (URL) from the main server to the receiving terminal, and at the same time the receiving terminal accesses the URL and transmits the receiving terminal information to the server. Information transmitted from the receiving terminal includes information such as terminal type, operating system, display size, resolution, and color expressing ability. When the receiving terminal information is obtained and analyzed, the step S7 of generating a transmission image by processing the combined image to match the receiving terminal is performed. The transmission image is sized to the combined image to fit the size of the display on the receiving side, the step (S8) of transmitting the last processed image to the receiving terminal is accepted.

Thus, the receiver is initially sent a message with an image of the text message sent by the sender on the image corresponding to the content. Therefore, the sender's intention can be more effectively transmitted than a simple text message.

Text message transmission method and system according to the present invention described above is not limited to the above embodiments, it should be understood to include a message transmission method by the limitation and addition within the scope without departing from the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention. do.

By extracting a key word from the text message according to the present invention described above and combining or merging the corresponding image with the first and the text, it is possible to simplify the message transmission including the image, and to send a text message sent from the sender to a specific server In this case, it is possible to send the image to the sender by sending it to the sender after batch processing, so that even if the subscriber line is different, the image can be transmitted through an unspecified telecommunication company. Has the effect of being able to transmit.
