Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTENTS SERVICE IN WIRE / WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK}

The present invention relates to content services in wired and wireless communication networks, and more particularly, to a method and system for content service in wired and wireless communication networks suitable for inducing continuous participation of clients and activating content services.

Recently, due to the activation of wired / wireless communication services, the spread of Internet-only lines and mobile communication terminals is becoming more common, and various wired / wireless contents are provided to the general public without special distinction between wired and wireless.

On the other hand, Short Message Service (SMS), which is called a short message or text message service, is a kind of wireless data communication service that can transmit a simple text message using a mobile phone system.

Receiving textual or alphanumeric messages over the wireless network is similar to the previous calling service, except that the SMS service using the mobile telephone network is a two-way service capable of receiving as well as sending. In addition, since the size of a message that can be delivered at a time is very short, it is called a short message, and the length of the message varies slightly depending on the mobile phone system.

In general, SMS includes simple SMS (transmitted from personal mobile phone to personal mobile phone) and enterprise SMS, and enterprise SMS is again used for mobile termination (MT) and mobile origination (MO). In case of transmitting a message from the communication terminal side to the server). In other words, MT is to send SMS to individual by using server installed by individual or company. MO is to receive SMS by company identification number as the destination number after the company receives the company identification number from mobile communication company. When transmitting, the service provider recognizes an identification number and delivers an SMS to a corresponding communication server.

Early SMS services were mainly used to inform users that there was a message stored in a voicemail box or to send a simple text message. However, by applying the feature that can transmit text information in both directions, it is now possible to use the interactive information service that can retrieve a simple information using the terminal.

Recently, the application of SMS has been expanded and applied to a large number of parts, for example, receiving only pre-registered information through a mobile phone (on-demand information service), or automatically receiving an e-mail via SMS when an e-mail arrives. The arrival and the title can be known, and they are increasingly used for remote meter reading or remote control. In addition, logistics and courier services are used to inform the location of cargo and to send notices and announcements to customers and employees, and to be used for political party district management or election campaigns for delegates.

In other words, by receiving a large number of mobile phone text messages at a certain number at the same time and processing them directly on the server and integrating them into TVs and radios, the concept of mass media content service is beyond the concept of one-to-one communication. Text messaging services are now available.

However, the current content service method using SMS is too expensive to preserve the revenue of the mobile communication company and MO / MT operators compared to the general text service, there is no limit to the activation of the service.

In addition, the existing MO / MT market through wired / wireless networks has already reached its limit due to lack of additional content elements that induce clients to actively participate in service use and lack of user incentives and development models.

Therefore, there is a need for content services in wired and wireless communication networks that can seek new revenue generation.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a content service that can induce competition between the client and the client to induce MO transmission continuously.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a content service that can provide an immediate and substantial reward environment to induce continuous participation of users, and continuously provide new services to increase the number of content service visits.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a content service system is connected to a client group through a wired / wireless communication network, wherein the first client and the second client of the client group are connected to the content service. Provided is a content service system in a wired / wireless communication network including a wired / wireless content service server for connecting a client and a second client to each other through the wired / wireless communication network to transmit a response message to the content service.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a content service method in a wired / wireless communication network connected to a client group through a wired / wireless communication network, and corresponds to the content service when the first client of the client group is connected to the content service. Transmitting the detailed content to the first client; and when the response message for the detailed content is received from the first client, whether or not the response message received from the first client is correct or incorrect. Determining, and when a response message received from the first client is positive and a second client of the client group is connected to the content service, connecting the first client and the second client to each other through the wired / wireless communication network. And the first client It provides a content service method in a wired / wireless communication network comprising the step of accumulating a part or all of the other party's points to the first client or the second client according to the response message transmission and reception result between the second client and the result of the right and wrong determination. .

According to the present invention, it is possible to continuously induce MO transmission by inducing client-to-client competition, provide immediate and substantial reward environment, induce continuous participation of users, and continuously provide new services. The number of visits to the content service can be increased.

Perform an advertisement service for any content provided from the content provider 110. That is, the content service may be exposed to the client group 100 by transmitting an advertisement for any content service to the TV through the broadcast service server 112. However, the broadcast service server 112 should be recognized as one embodiment for describing the technical features of the present invention, but is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, advertisements for any content service may be exposed to the client group 100 through various advertising service media, such as offline advertising media and advertising media on the web.

In addition, the charging server 114 determines the fee for using the MO transmission of the client group 100, the fee for using other wired / wireless communication service, and the like.

Hereinafter, the content service method in the wired / wireless communication network according to another aspect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

Prior to the description, the content service applied to this process will be exemplified as a "end-to-end" service in the wireless network. However, these examples are merely for convenience of description, and do not characterize or limit the present invention, but are various content services on wired and wireless networks, for example, crossword matching using wired and wireless networks, wired and wireless networks. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that content services, such as applying for events using a network, can be applied.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S200, the wired / wireless content service server 104 is connected to any client of the client group 100, for example, client 1 (100/1) to an end-to-end service provided from the content provider 110. It is determined whether 1) is connected.

When client 1 (100/1) is connected to the end-of-line service, the wired / wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S202 to display detailed content corresponding to the end-of-line service, for example, the end-of-word presentation word. 100/1).

After proceeding to step S202, the wired and wireless content service server 104 determines whether the MO is received from the client 1 (100/1) (S204). That is, it is determined whether the response message for the end-of-end presentation word is received from the client 1 (100/1).

When the response message is received from the client 1 (100/1), the wired / wireless content service server 104 performs a positive / correct response to the response message received from the client 1 (100/1), as in step S206. It is determined whether there is a mistake.

As a result of the determination in step S206, if the response message received from the client 1 (100/1) is not the correct answer, the wired / wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S208 to check the incorrect answer MT for the first client. Send to (100/1).

On the other hand, if the response message received from the client 1 (100/1) is a correct answer as a result of the determination in step S206, the wired and wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S210.

In step S210, the wired / wireless content service server 104 determines whether another client, for example, Client 2 (100/2), is connected to the ending service.

If there is no connection of the client 2 (100/2), the wired and wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S212 to accumulate the points of the client 1 (100/1), the correct answer MT, that is to inform that the correct answer Send a message to client 1 (100/1).

Then, the wired / wireless content service server 104 transmits the next content, that is, the next ending word presented word to the client 1 (100/1) (S214).

On the other hand, if the determination result of step S210, it is determined that the client 2 (100/2) is connected to the end-to-end service, the wired and wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S216 to the client 1 (100 / 1) and the client 2 (100/2) are connected to each other through the wired or wireless communication network (102).

Thereafter, the wire / wireless content service server 104 transmits the response MO of the client 2 (100/2) to the client 1 (100/1) (S218), and transmits the response MO of the client 2 (100/2) to the client 1 ( After transmitting to 100/1, it is determined whether there is a response MO from client 1 (100/1) within a preset time (S220).

As a result of the determination in step S220, if there is a response MO of the client 1 (100/1) within the preset time, the wired / wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S222 and the response of the client 1 (100/1). It is determined whether the MO is correct or not.

As a result of the determination in step S222, if the response MO of the client 1 (100/1) is the correct answer, the wired / wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S224 and the response MO of the client 1 (100/1). To the client 2 (100/2).

Subsequently, the MO is delivered while repeating the above-described step (S220). In this case, each time the MO delivery is repeated once, the subject changes the client 2 (100/2) and the client 1 (100/1).

On the other hand, if the response MO of the client 1 (100/1) is not a correct answer as a result of the determination in step S222, the wired / wireless content service server 104 proceeds to step S226 to the client 1 (100/1). Some points or all points of the client 2 (100/2) to be credited. That is, since Client 2 (100/2) wins the first round in the final match-up between Client 1 (100/1) and Client 2 (100/2), the accumulated points and client of Client 1 (100/1) Earn 2 points (100/2) to the client 2 (100/2) to win the end of the match. Similarly, even when there is no response MO of the client 1 (100/1) within the preset time in step S220, the client 2 (100/2) earns some or all points of the client 1 (100/1) can do.

Since the point earning method induces competition among clients, the user may use the content service more actively.

Thereafter, in step S228, the wire / wireless content service server 104 transmits the result MT to the client 1 (100/1) and the client 2 (100/2), thereby transmitting the content service result and the point accumulation result to the client 1 (100 /). 1) and Client 2 (100/2).

On the other hand, the present embodiment is implemented to actively proceed with content services between clients using a wired or wireless communication network, for this purpose it is necessary that the client should be aware of the content service to some extent.

Accordingly, the broadcast service server 112 in the wired / wireless content service system may be configured to advertise the corresponding content service through a medium such as a TV so that clients can easily access the content service.

However, such advertisements are not limited to broadcast advertisements such as TVs, and may be selectively applied to offline advertisements such as leaflets and promotional materials, seat cover advertisements of buses, screen door advertisements of subways, and the like, as necessary.

As described above, the present invention is implemented to enable more active use of content services, such as end-to-end, word-matching, in a wired or wireless environment, using a personal computer, a mobile communication terminal of the client.

Meanwhile, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the features of the present invention should be understood within the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims below.
