Abstract

A service method for providing real information, which is integrated by one virtual ID, of a person, a company, or an organization is provided to enable a user to contact with each party by assigning the virtual ID to each party, linking various real information of each party with the virtual ID, and storing the linked information to a virtual ID server. A person, a company, or an organization wanting a virtual ID registers for a virtual ID server through the Internet. Each party registers/stores the desired virtual ID, and types/kinds of the real information such as a phone number, a fax number, a mobile, a homepage URL(Uniform Resource Locator), a messenger ID, a bank account, an address, a zip code, a birth or foundation date, and a resident registration or business license number. Each of information processing devices sends the virtual ID and the desired type of the real information to the virtual ID server when the virtual ID is received from a user knowing the virtual ID. The virtual ID server sends the real information read from an Internet database or file system to the information processing device by checking an ID and semantic format of the received virtual ID, and the received real information type.

Description

A service method which unifies several real informations of a person or a company or an organization as a Virtual ID}

1 is an embodiment of the Internet network configuration diagram for a virtual ID service

2 illustrates an embodiment of a data format constituting a virtual ID

3 is a diagram illustrating a type and content of a virtual ID stored in a virtual ID server and unique information corresponding thereto;

When you make a call, you need to know the other party's phone number, and when you send mail or parcels, you need to know the other party's address. When you send an e-mail or go to the homepage, you need to know the actual e-mail address and homepage address so that you can access it correctly. Of course, in the case of a telephone, you can make a simpler call by setting a frequently used phone number as a speed dial, and in the case of a homepage, you can access the homepage more easily by using a shortcut function provided in the search portal. In addition, there are some ways in which online nicknames can be used to easily identify a specific person or send a message or message. However, this method provides some convenience for each application, and people still memorize or transfer large amounts of information such as address, phone number, homepage address, etc. when accessing other people, companies, organizations, etc. It is common to find and use information written in a notebook or stored in a computer. As a way to drastically improve this inconvenience, if a simple virtual ID is given to a specific individual, company, or organization and only this virtual ID is known, the corresponding phone number, fax number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, homepage address , Messenger ID, bank and account number, address and zip code, birthday or establishment date, social security number or business registration number to provide a service that tells the actual information, such as a very convenient and innovative way in real life. For example, if a person named 'Sungchunhyang' uses a virtual ID of 'MissKoreaJin', a person who knows that the 'MissKoreaJin' is a virtual ID of 'Sungchunhyang' can only use the virtual ID of 'MissKoreaJin'. You can call 'Sungchunhyang' freely, send an email, or send a birthday gift by courier. In the prior art, there is no technology for providing a service method that provides all the access information that can be accessed to an individual, a company, or an organization using only one virtual ID.

The present invention grants a virtual ID to a specific individual, company, organization, etc., and corresponds to the actual phone number, fax number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, homepage address, messenger ID, bank and account number, address and mail. By storing and managing various actual information (hereinafter referred to as 'real information') such as number, date of birth or establishment date, social security number or business registration number together with this virtual ID in the virtual ID server on the Internet network, Even if you don't know this virtual ID, you can use it to access the virtual ID server on the Internet and extract and obtain the actual information corresponding to it, so you can send emails, faxes, and messages to specific individuals, companies, organizations, etc. You can make a call or go to the homepage, transfer money, or mail or courier. And send a unified service method using a virtual ID, which can also be used for services such as query the identities.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

The virtual ID server is an information processing server on the Internet network that stores, manages, and processes the virtual ID and the actual information. FIG. 1 is an embodiment of an Internet network configuration diagram for a virtual ID service. The virtual ID server 10 may be a telephone processing server or module 12, a fax processing server or module 13, an email processing server or module 14, an address processing server or module 15 through an Internet network 11, Other types of information processing servers and modules (hereinafter referred to as "information processing equipment"), such as other information processing server or module 16 is connected. Here, each of the information processing devices 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 sends the virtual ID inputted according to each application to the virtual ID server 10 through the Internet network 11, and again in response thereto. 11) They are devices that receive the actual information they want and process it according to their application service. For example, if you have a phone that can make or receive calls, and this phone is connected to the Internet network and is capable of processing virtual IDs, the phone will receive the virtual ID you entered, which will be the virtual ID on the Internet. You can contact the server, get the actual phone number in response, and then perform a phone call procedure in the same way as you would receive and process the actual phone number. As another example, if a virtual ID is serviced in a web browser such as Internet Explorer, once the virtual ID is entered in the address bar, the ID is detected through a virtual ID identification code and the virtual ID server on the Internet is contacted. You just need to get the actual website address and go from there.

The present invention may be implemented only by changing the software or hardware of the information processing device according to each application or by replacing with a new product, and any information processing device having a function of accessing the virtual ID server to change the input virtual ID into actual information. Can be implemented in various ways depending on whether or not to execute, but in order to simplify the description, an information processing device that processes all types of applications first accesses the virtual ID server through the Internet and corresponds to the virtual ID. It is assumed that the environment that can be performed without any problem is already provided if the actual information is obtained.

2 illustrates an embodiment of a data format constituting a virtual ID, and the virtual ID is largely composed of a semantic unit 20 and an identification code 21. The semantic unit 20 means a virtual ID itself except for the identification code 21, and a combination of characters arbitrarily determined by a user, that is, a language character (Korean, English, other characters of each country), a number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), special characters (@, #,% & etc.) can be freely composed of any combination of characters that can be used universally. For example, your name or nickname (Hong Gil-dong, Hwang Jin-yi, clench your fists, steep, etc.), email address (patent@hanmail.net, love123@korea.com, etc.), phone number (042-123-4567, 82-2- 999-7777, etc.), birthdays (January 1, 2000, 60-12-31, etc.), names (KingOfKing @ lineage, dreams and hopes @ naver.com), etc. Combinations (007 fools, goodman @ 042-999-7788, etc.) or non-significant combinations of characters (12K% of E $, 9-ga3 * @, etc.) can be constructed. However, at the time of registering the virtual ID, the virtual ID should be unique on the virtual ID server, and the number of characters constituting the virtual ID may be limited in advance for convenience. The identification code 21 is a symbol displayed in front of, behind, or both of the meaning part 20 so that the meaning part 20 of the virtual ID can be easily identified. Use after designation. For example, if you use '#' as an identifier and use it only in front of the semantic part 20 to promise the organization of the virtual ID's data, '#as is @KOREA' and '# $ 12AB or $% # 'Is used to indicate a virtual ID, and the meaning of the virtual ID, ie, the actual virtual ID, is represented by' as-is @ KOREA 'and' $ 12AB or $% # ', except for the preceding' # 'symbol, respectively. do. This method can distinguish the real access information from the virtual ID clearly, and has the advantages of being simple, uniform, and simple in data processing.

3 illustrates an example of a virtual ID 30 stored in the virtual ID server and the types 31 and contents 32 of the actual information corresponding to the virtual ID server. One virtual ID 30 includes an individual, a company, and a group. (31) The contents of actual information such as telephone number, fax number, mobile phone number, e-mail address, homepage address, messenger ID, bank and account number, address and postal code, date of birth or establishment, social security number or business registration number, and other information. Types 32 correspond to and are stored in the form of a database management system, a file system, or the like.

1, 2, and 3, the operation of the present invention in more detail as follows.

Individuals, companies, organizations, etc. who want to use a virtual ID first access the virtual ID server 10 through the Internet network 11, and register a user according to a function provided by the virtual ID server 10, Virtual ID 30 to be used and corresponding telephone number, fax number, mobile phone number, email address, homepage address, messenger ID, bank and account number, address and zip code, birthday or establishment date, social security number or business registration number, etc. The type 31 and the content 32 of the actual information are registered and stored. At this time, the virtual ID server 10 confirms that the virtual ID to be registered is the only one of the registered information in the virtual ID server. Someone who now knows the virtual ID 30 can send an email or call using the virtual ID 30 from the information processing device 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 where the virtual ID 30 is serviced. If the user wants to make a call or the like and inputs the virtual ID 30 and the connection is desired, the information processing device 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 may input the input virtual ID 30 and the type 31 of the actual information desired. Send to the virtual ID server (10). The virtual ID server 10 checks the type 31 of the desired actual information sent together with the identification code format 20 and the semantic format 21 of the virtual ID 30 sent, and then corresponds to the actual information. (32) is found in the internal database system or file system and sent to the requested information processing equipment (12, 13, 14, 15, 16). However, if the virtual ID server can service various constraints that the virtual ID server provides to the virtual ID registrant to select, such as the virtual ID level of the requester, the available service type, and the available service time period, the actual information 32 is thereby obtained. It may not be delivered or the response may be rejected. The information processing devices 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, which have received the actual information 32, perform their application services in the usual way using the same, and the operation is completed.

The effects obtained through the present invention are as follows.

First, if you only know the virtual ID of a particular person, company or organization, the phone number, fax number, mobile phone number, email address, homepage address, messenger ID, bank and account number, address and postal code of that person, company or organization You don't have to memorize or record a variety of complex items such as your birthday, date of birth or establishment, social security number or business registration number, and you can call, fax, send, call, email to that particular person, company, or group anytime, anywhere, if you know your virtual ID. Information and goods delivery services such as transmission, homepage access, messenger access, bank account transfer, mail delivery or courier delivery, etc. can also be performed.

Second, specific individuals, companies, and organizations that use virtual IDs can use their phone number, fax number, mobile phone number, email address, homepage address, messenger ID, bank and account number, address and postal code, social security number or business registration. If the number is changed, by changing only the actual information stored in the virtual ID server, the telephone call, fax transmission, mobile phone call, email transmission, homepage access, It is very convenient because it can get the effect that messenger access, bank account remittance, mail delivery or courier delivery and information delivery service or personal information verification service can be implemented without interruption.

Third, the virtual ID is characterized by a simple, easy to memorize, such as an e-mail address or name (mutual or nickname), birthday, phone number and words of various combinations that are commonly used by individuals, companies, organizations, etc. As a general rule, such a virtual ID can be easily memorized, which is very convenient.

Fourth, it is convenient because it is likely to create various and convenient services by combining with various other technologies. For example, when trying to make a phone call using a virtual ID, an integrated service, such as automatically sending an e-mail saying that the phone call is not possible instead of a phone call, is possible, and in cooperation with a community portal or game portal there The ID (including nickname, etc.) in the portal that is already assigned and used by can be integrated and virtualized to serve.

Fifth, if standardization related to the data format and internal representation of the virtual ID is progressed and confirmed, and the information security problem is solved, the virtual ID is developed into a unique ID of the world standard representing an individual, a company, or an organization. Information and goods delivery services such as telephone call, fax, mobile phone call, email, homepage access, messenger access, bank account transfer, mail delivery or courier delivery, etc. It is very convenient because it can perform identity inquiry service.
