Description

Driver calling service method using relay type communication}

The present invention provides a quick call without exposing personal information such as the driver's phone number by installing a service server that relays bilateral calls on a call path between a caller and a driver in calling a driver of a parked vehicle through mobile communication. The present invention relates to a driver calling service method for enabling a relay, comprising: a relay for stepping without connecting a communication line in the entire call-to-call process in establishing a communication path to a calling terminal, a communication server, a service server, and a called terminal. relay) communication.

When parking a vehicle on a private or congested area, the driver usually displays his or her contact information on the windshield of the vehicle so that the vehicle can be called when the vehicle needs to be moved.

As the spread of personal mobile communication means expands, the number of the mobile communication terminal is used as the contact number of the driver. In this process, the number of the mobile communication terminal is exposed, which can be used for crimes such as unauthorized collection of personal information or phone fraud. In particular, there is a problem that the misuse is further increased because it is exposed with the registration number of the vehicle.

In order to solve this problem, as shown in Figure 1, both the calling terminal 301 calling the driver, the mobile communication network 300, the carrier server 310 and the driver's destination terminal 302 both on the call path By installing a service server 200 to relay the inter-call, a service method has been developed to enable a call requiring mobile parking without directly exposing the driver's destination terminal 302 number.

That is, the subscriber DB (Database) 210 which connects the communication company server 310 and the service server 200 of the operator of the mobile communication network 300 and includes the mobile communication terminal number of the driver as a service subscriber in the service server 200. By connecting the user, and by displaying the telephone number calling the service server 200 on the subscriber's vehicle, when the calling terminal 301 user calls the service server 200 call number when the mobile parking request The method 200 establishes a communication path with the called party's terminal 302 of the driver, thereby relaying bilateral calls.

The call path shown in FIG. 1 is a calling terminal 301, a mobile communication network 300a to which the calling terminal 301 is subscribed, a communication company server 310a to which the calling terminal 301 is subscribed, and a service server 200. , The communication terminal server 310b to which the called party terminal 302 is subscribed, the mobile communication network 300b to which the called party terminal 302 is subscribed, and the called terminal 302, which are called party terminals 301 and the called party. When the side terminal 302 is subscribed to the same communication company, each communication server (310a, 310b) and the mobile communication network (300a, 300b) may be replaced by the same.

Although the problem of exposing the driver's personal information can be solved to a certain level through the call relay method through the service server 200, as shown in FIG. 2, the calling terminal 301 to the called terminal over a substantial portion of the driver calling process. In addition to the problem that the communication path between 302 must be kept connected, the possibility of the leakage of personal information cannot be completely excluded because it presupposes a voice call between the caller and the driver.

That is, since the connection time between the calling terminal 301 and the called terminal 302 is proportional to the communication cost, not only excessive costs are required in the service operation of the service server 200 operating subject, but the above-described process is charged. When provided in the form of service, there is a problem that can act as a serious obstacle to securing subscribers because irrational charging is made in comparison with the actual personal information protection effect.

In particular, the driver's call service through such call relay can be assumed to be operated by the insurer at a free or relatively low rate for auto insurance subscribers. In this case, since a huge service operation cost is inevitably required, the introduction of related services becomes impossible and there is a serious problem that the technology becomes practically impossible.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a mobile communication network 300, a communication company server 310 connected to the mobile communication network 300, a calling terminal 301 which is a mobile station of the mobile communication network 300, and a called terminal. 302, the driver server 210 is connected to the communication server server 310, the driver DB 210 is connected to the service server 200 and the subscriber DB 210 containing the number of the destination terminal 302 and the corresponding identification information is configured and performed In the call service method, a call DB 220 is connected to the service server 200, and the calling terminal 301 is connected to the communication company server 310 with the service server 200 call number and the called terminal 302 identification information.

According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the communication load in the driver's calling process through mobile communication, improve security, and reduce communication costs.

In addition, the user can easily access the service server as well as simple service registration of any terminal other than the registered mobile communication destination terminal.

The detailed configuration and implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, Figure 3 shows the components of the present invention and each connection state, as can be seen through the figure, the system for performing the present invention is connected to the mobile communication network 300 and the carrier server operating the same (310), the service server 200 connected to the carrier server 310, the subscriber DB 210 and the call DB 220 is connected, the calling terminal 301 and the called terminal, which are mobile stations of the mobile communication network 300 302, the mobile communication network 300a of the calling terminal 301 and the communication company server 310a and the called terminal 302 of the calling terminal 301 represented as separate components on the drawing, respectively. 310b may be configured of the same element when the calling terminal 301 and the called terminal 302 are mobile stations subscribed to the same communication company.

In the driver calling process according to the present invention, the communication is not a communication line via each component on the communication path is continuously maintained during the communication, as shown in Figure 4, the connection state between each component step by step It is performed by a relay method that proceeds in an intermittent manner.

Therefore, a situation in which the entire communication line from the calling terminal 301 to the called terminal 302 is connected and occupied during the calling process does not occur, and thus communication load and related costs can be reduced.

In the conventional data communication, including packet communication, a relay type communication is performed, in which a communication line is repeatedly cracked, but this is treated as maintaining a connection state in the billing system. Relay type communication is a simple division because it eliminates unnecessary communication line setting by stepping down the connection state between communication element of communication line such as communication company server 310 and service server 200, etc. There is a clear difference from processing or logical track enforcement.

Such a calling method of the present invention is a method in which one-way communication is sequentially started and terminated. As a result, continuous voice calls between the calling terminal 301 and the called terminal 302 are not possible. 302) There may be a problem that the user of the calling terminal 301 cannot confirm whether the user is transmitted to the driver.

Accordingly, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, after the communication company server 310 transmits the call message to the called terminal 302, the call is received or not, that is, whether the corresponding mobile station in the mobile communication network 300 is searched and transmitted the call message. This problem is solved by transmitting in the reverse direction.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation process of the present invention, which describes the specific implementation step of the present invention through the following.

In the service of the present invention, a call information transmission step (S10) in which the calling terminal 301 transmits call information including the service server 200 call number and the called terminal 302 identification information to the communication company server 310 (S10). Is started.

Here, the call information includes a call number of the service server 200, that is, a telephone number for accessing the service server 200 and identification information assigned in the form of a string of numbers for each subscriber, that is, the driver. In the example, the preceding eight digit string corresponds to the call number of the service server 200, and the digit string after nine digits corresponds to the identification information.

This call information transmission step (S10) is performed by the user of the calling terminal 301 to call the service server 200, the call number and the identification information combination phone number as shown in Figure 3, and then the carrier server ( 310 goes through the call information transmission step (S20) for transmitting the calling terminal 301 number and the identification information to the service server 200.

Here, the reason why the communication company server 310 transmits the calling terminal 301 number to the service server 200 together with the identification information is to send the call back to the calling terminal 301 in the reverse direction. , The service server 200 queries the subscriber DB 210 with the identification information, the caller ID withdrawal step (S31) and the calling party terminal 301 number to withdraw the called party terminal 302 number to the calling DB 220 Calling number recording step (S32) is recorded.

Subscriber DB (210) is a database that contains the identification information assigned to each subscriber and the corresponding called terminal 302 number, etc., the call DB 220 is the calling party terminal 301 number and the corresponding called terminal (for each call) ( 302) the number and the like are all connected to the service server 200, the subscriber DB 210 and the calling DB 220 may be integrated into a single database form.

When the calling number recording step S32 is completed, the service server 200 transmits the called party terminal 302 number and the call message to the communication company server 310, followed by the called party number transmitting step S33. In the forward direction, ie, the direction from the originating terminal 301 to the called terminal 302, through the actual call step S41 of searching for the called terminal 302 which is the mobile station on the mobile communication network 300 and transmitting a call message. Communication is complete.

Thereafter, the communication company server 310 transmits a call reception step of transmitting a call message to the service server 200 in a reverse direction whether the called terminal 302 is received, that is, whether the corresponding mobile station in the mobile communication network 300 has been searched and transmitted a call message. Performing (S42), the service server 200 receives the call whether the call is sent to the calling party via the calling number withdrawal step (S51) to retrieve the calling party terminal 301 number of the call to the call 220 Whether or not the terminal 301 transmits the incoming or outgoing transmission step (S52) for transmitting the call information to the communication company server 310, and finally the communication server server 310 whether the incoming call to the calling terminal (301) Through the transmitting step (S61) the driver's call and incoming call confirmation process is completed.

As described above, through the present invention in which one-way communication starts and ends sequentially, it is possible to check the reception of the call signal as well as the effective driver's call through the minimum communication load and communication cost, but through the above-described process, the call message There is a problem that the user of the calling terminal 301 cannot confirm whether or not the call is transmitted to the called terminal 302, that is, only the called party can be checked.

FIG. 6 is a modified embodiment of the present invention for solving this problem. As shown in FIG. 7, a user of a called terminal 302 who receives a call message, that is, a driver, receives a call by operating a called terminal 302. By transmitting whether or not the user of the calling terminal 301 can finally confirm this.

8 is a flow chart of the present invention to which the reception confirmation function is added, the reverse transmission of the reception proceeds in such a way that the one-way communication is sequentially started and terminated, forward communication, that is, the call information transmission step (S10) to the actual call After the process of step S41 is completed, a reception report step S43 is performed in which the called terminal 302 transmits whether a call message is received to the communication company server 310 through the mobile communication network 300.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the receiving terminal 302 user may operate the specific key of the receiving terminal 302, and then the communication company server 310 may use the service server. Receive notification step (S44) for transmitting the number of the receiving terminal 302 and whether or not to (200), the service server 200 inquires the call DB (220) number of the calling terminal (301) of the call call Call reception number withdrawal step (S51), the service server 200 receives the number of the calling party terminal 301 and whether or not to transmit the reception to the communication company server 310 (S53) and the communication company server 310 By proceeding through the receiving or not sending step (S62) for transmitting the reception whether or not to the calling terminal 301, the user of the calling terminal 301 can finally check whether the call was normally processed.

The driver call service of the present invention as described above can be provided as a supplementary service by a service operating entity such as an automobile insurance company for a plurality of subscribers who are drivers and mobile communication users. It is desirable to be able to access the server 200 and set the called terminal 302 number to be used for its call.

That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the subscriber computer 101 connected to the Internet 100 accesses the web page 110 operated by the service server 200 and is connected to the service server 200 through a user authentication process. The subscriber DB 210 can be updated by inputting the terminal 302 number.

Meanwhile, in addition to updating the subscriber DB 210 through the subscriber computer 101 and the Internet 100, as shown in FIG. 10, the subscriber DB 210 through the mobile communication network 300 and the ARS (Automatic Response Service) can also be updated. This is useful when the subscriber DB 210 is temporarily changed to an arbitrary terminal 303 other than the preset called terminal 302, that is, a third terminal.

That is, when the subscriber goes out without having the destination terminal 302 preset in the subscriber DB 210, or when the subscriber terminal 302 is lost, an arbitrary terminal 303 such as a mobile communication terminal of a nearby acquaintance. ) To receive the call message by temporarily registering in the subscriber DB (210). The detailed procedure is described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in order to register the arbitrary terminal 303 in the subscriber DB 210 in the present invention, the response server 230, which is an ARS server connected to the service provider server 310, is connected to the service server 200, and the subscriber DB 210 has ARS. The user password used when authenticating the user should be recorded, and the random terminal 303 is connected to the communication company server 310 through the mobile communication network 300 to call the response server 230 (S71). The service is started by performing.

Thereafter, the communication company server 310 transmits the number of the corresponding random terminal 303 to the response server 230 and performs a response server connection step S72 of establishing a call path, and when the call path is established, the random terminal 303. Performs the user number transmission step (S73) of transmitting the existing destination terminal 302 number to the response server 230.

Here, the existing called party's terminal 302 number is used as a kind of ID for identifying the corresponding subscriber, and when a separate ID including a string is used, it is difficult to input through the ARS, so that the existing called party preset in the subscriber DB 210 is established. It is preferable to use the side terminal 302 number.

Thereafter, the random terminal 303 transmits the user password to the response server 230, and uses the user password transmission step S74 and the response server 230 as the random terminal 303 number and ID being connected to the service server 200. Encrypted transmission step (S75) of transmitting the existing destination terminal 302 number and the user password to be carried out, the subscriber DB (210) to the existing destination terminal 302 number and user password transmitted by the service server 200 The user is authenticated by performing the encryption inquiry step (S76) of inquiring.

If the user password is valid, the service server 200 performs an update step (S77) including the number of the random terminal 303 in the subscriber DB 210, so that the call message is a random terminal 303 in a subsequent call. ) Is sent.
