METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING IDENTIFICATION OF SENDING TERMINAL TO RECEIVING TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing calling party identification information which enables the called party to be selected by the receiving terminal by displaying whether the calling party identification information and the calling party telephone number are authenticated.

With the rapid development of information and communication, today's receiver's communication terminal displays calling party's identification information (CID, Caller IDentification) so that the user can see the calling party's user (or company, company or public institution) before the call. Make it known.

However, the identification information of the calling party is implemented as simple multimedia data such as a phone number or an image, and can be easily copied or stolen from an unauthorized user. For example, the user of the calling party impersonating the IRS may transmit crude content indicating the IRS to the communication terminal of the receiving party using a specific server, and the user of the receiving party may use the crude content displayed as identification information of the sender. There's no way to verify that you're authenticated, so take the risk of receiving an unwanted call.

Therefore, in order to prevent damage from crimes such as voice phishing, it is necessary to confirm whether or not the calling party identification information displayed on the screen of the terminal is authenticated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to prevent damage from crime such as voice phishing by authenticating the calling party's telephone number through an authenticated server.

An object of the present invention is to expand the range of choices for the receiving user by receiving the terminal by displaying the calling party identification information which has been registered in the authenticated server and indicating whether or not to be authenticated.

Another object of the present invention is to improve the reliability of the calling party identification information by pre-filtering the invalid content from the calling party identification information that the unauthenticated calling party user intends to register.

In order to achieve the above object and solve the problems of the prior art, the method of providing a calling party identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of maintaining a database that stores the calling party number and calling party identification information, the call origin When receiving a query including the telephone number of the party, reading the calling party identification information corresponding to the query by referring to the database, and providing the read calling party identification information to a receiving terminal. It is characterized by including.

The method for providing calling party identification information according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes determining whether the calling party telephone number is authenticated and reflecting the result of the determination in the calling party identification information. The receiving terminal for receiving the identification information, which reflects the result, may display the calling party identification information and authentication information.

The method for providing calling party identification information according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a table including at least one pre-authentication phone number for a pre-authenticated caller to determine whether the calling party number is authenticated. And a step of determining whether the calling party's telephone number is included in the table by referring to the holding step and the table.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, by authenticating the calling party's telephone number through an authenticated server, it is possible to prevent damage from crime such as voice phishing.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the receiving terminal displays the calling party identification information registered in the authenticated server and further displays whether the receiving terminal authenticates the user, thereby widening the receiving user's choice of the incoming call. .

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the reliability of the calling party identification information can be improved by pre-filtering the invalid content from the calling party identification information that the unauthenticated calling party user wants to register.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the contents described in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited to the embodiments.

1 is a diagram illustrating a network to which a method of providing calling party identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

The calling party identification information providing system 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention stores the calling party identification information of the calling party system 120 in advance, and is sent to the calling party terminal 130. Receive the query based on the call request signal from the. The query is a signal for requesting calling party identification information uniquely identifying the calling party terminal 121, and the calling party identification information providing system 110 reads out the previously stored calling party identification information according to the received query. The read calling party identification information is transmitted to the receiving terminal 130. Accordingly, the receiving terminal 130 receiving the calling party identification information displays the calling party identification information on the screen. The calling party identification information is content information composed of at least one of text, an image, a video, and a sound, and may be any information uniquely identifying the calling party.

In addition, the receiving terminal 130 may further display the authentication information of the calling party identification information on the screen. For example, the calling party identification information may be previously stored in the calling party identification information providing system 110 but not authenticated. In this case, the receiving terminal 130 may display the calling party identification information on the screen, and may further display that the calling party identification information is 'unauthenticated'. In the opposite case, the receiving terminal 130 may display the calling party identification information on the screen and further display that the calling party identification information is 'authenticated'.

To this end, the calling party identification information providing system 110 receives a reliable calling party telephone number from another authenticated system in advance and maintains it in a table. In addition, when the calling party number and the calling party identification information are requested to be registered from the calling party system 120, it may be determined whether authentication is performed by determining whether the calling party number requested to be registered is included in the table. For the registration request, the calling user may use not only the calling terminal 121, but also a computer terminal 122 or a mobile communication terminal 123 capable of accessing the online.

When the calling party identification information is authenticated, the calling party identification information providing system 110 reflects the authentication result in the calling party identification information corresponding to the calling party telephone number and stores it in a database. Thereafter, when the calling party identification information providing system 110 receives the query from the receiving terminal 130, the calling party identification information is read from the database in response to the query. In addition, the read calling party identification information is transmitted to the receiving terminal 130, and the receiving terminal 130 receives the calling party identification information and displays it on the screen. The authentication result reflected in the calling party identification information may be further displayed on the screen together with the calling party identification information. Accordingly, the receiving user who has confirmed the calling party identification information and the authentication result may determine whether to answer the call or not to receive the call in response to the call setup request from the calling terminal 121. As a result, the user on the receiving side can prevent crimes such as voice phishing in advance, and can also avoid unnecessary incoming calls such as advertisements or obscene calls.

Hereinafter, the description of FIG. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to various embodiments.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing calling party identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the receiving terminal receives a call establishment request from the calling terminal in step 201 and transmits a query corresponding to the call establishment request to the calling party identification information providing system in step 202. The query may include a telephone number constituting a Caller IDentification (CID) transmitted from the calling terminal. In parallel, the calling party identification information providing system records and maintains at least one calling party identification number and calling party identification information corresponding to the calling party telephone number in a database in advance (step 203). In addition, the calling party identification information providing system may determine whether the calling party identification information is authenticated by using pre-authentication telephone numbers provided from an authenticated subject, and reflect the result of the determination in the calling party identification information. . For example, the authenticated subject may be a national institution, an authorized financial institution, a school, and the like, and a dictionary provided from the authenticated subject with calling party telephone numbers and calling party identification information provided from a plurality of calling parties. Authentication can be determined based on the authentication phone number. According to the authentication status, the unauthenticated sender may be recognized as a questionable subject rather than an illegal subject. Accordingly, whether to receive or reject the incoming call may be determined according to a judgment of the receiving user.

The database will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a diagram illustrating a database 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The database 300 includes a calling party number field, a calling party identification field, and an authentication status field. That is, the calling party's telephone number and the calling party's identification information are stored in association with each other. If the calling party's telephone number is an authenticated subject, 'Authentication' is set to 'Authentication' in the authentication status field. Can be.

For example, the calling party identification information providing system may receive the telephone number of the National Tax Service and the receiving party identification information of the National Tax Service from the National Tax Service and record it in a database. If the calling party number 02-111-2222 is any one of the phone numbers of the IRS as shown by reference numeral 301, the image of the IRS may be stored in association with the calling party number. In addition, if the telephone number of the 'IRS' is included in the list of telephone numbers provided from the authorized subject, the calling party identification information providing system may determine the corresponding field as 'authentication 302' in the database.

In addition, as shown by reference numeral 303, if the calling party number 02-111-5555 is any one of the phone numbers of 'Hana Bank', an image of 'Hana Bank' may be stored in the calling party's phone number. In addition, if the telephone number of the 'Hana Bank' is not included in the list of telephone numbers provided from the authorized subject, the calling party identification information providing system may determine the corresponding field as 'non-authentication 304' in the database.

The calling party identification information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention may use the authentication key as authentication information for determining whether to verify the calling party identification information. That is, the transmitting party identification information providing system may add and transmit a predetermined authentication key for the authenticated calling party identification information when transmitting the calling party identification information authenticated according to the call setup request of the receiving terminal. At this time, the receiving terminal receiving the calling party identification information to which the authentication key is added displays the calling party identification information on the screen, and reads the authentication key and adds authentication information on the screen when it is legal. I can display it.

Referring back to FIG. 2, in step 204, the calling party identification information providing system reads the calling party identification information corresponding to the query and transmits the read calling party identification information to the receiving terminal (step 205). ). In this case, the read-out identification information may be reflected in advance whether the authentication result, for example, may include a predetermined authentication key when the authentication.

Next, the receiving terminal may receive the calling party identification information transmitted in step 205 and display it on the screen. In this case, when the determination result of the authentication is reflected in the calling party identification information, authentication information indicating the determination result of the authentication may be further displayed.

Calling party identification information and the authentication information displayed on the screen will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

4 and 5 are views illustrating an embodiment of displaying whether or not the identification information of the calling party is authenticated by the receiving terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 illustrates a case in which the calling party telephone number of the IRS and the calling party identification information provided by the IRS were stored in the calling party identification information providing system, and the calling party telephone number of the IRS was previously authenticated. Accordingly, when the receiving terminal receives a call setup request from the calling terminal of the IRS, the receiving terminal further receives and displays not only the calling party identification information of the IRS, but also authentication information according to the authentication from the calling party identification information providing system. That is, as shown by reference numeral 401, the receiving terminal displays the calling party identification information as an image capable of uniquely identifying the IRS, and displays 'authentication' indicating that the image viewed on the top of the calling party identification information has been previously authenticated. Display more marks.

In contrast, FIG. 5 illustrates a case in which the calling party number of Hana Bank and calling party identification information provided by Hana Bank are stored in the calling party identification information providing system, and the calling party telephone number of Hana Bank is not authenticated in advance. Explain. Thus, when the receiving terminal receives a call setup request from the calling terminal of the Hana Bank, the receiving terminal receives and displays only the calling party identification information of the Hana Bank from the calling party identification information providing system. That is, as shown by reference numeral 501, the receiving terminal displays the calling party identification information as an image capable of uniquely identifying the Hana Bank, and indicates that the image viewed on the top of the calling party identification information has not been authenticated in advance. To display more 'non-certified' mark.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a registration process of a calling party number and calling party identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the calling party terminal transmits a calling party number and calling party identification information to the calling party identification information providing system in step 601 to request registration. In the description of this figure, for convenience, it is described that the calling terminal performs the registration request by transmitting the calling party number and calling party identification information, but this can be requested by any number of other terminals. For example, the calling party user may request registration of the calling party number and calling party identification information by using any terminal that is accessible by swap or web, and may also request registration through e-mail.

Next, the calling party identification information providing system receives the registration request in step 602 and filters only a valid portion of the calling party number and calling party identification information, thereby verifying the validity of the calling party identification information. For example, when the calling user who performs an illegal service such as voice phishing adds authentication information to the calling party identification information, the authentication information may be filtered in step 602. For this reason, it is possible to improve the reliability of the calling party identification information by pre-filtering the invalid content from the calling party identification information to which the unauthenticated calling party user intends to register.

After validating the calling party identification information, the calling party identification information providing system determines whether the calling party telephone number is authenticated in step 603.

To this end, the calling party identification information providing system maintains a table including at least one pre-authentication phone number for a pre-authenticated caller and, with reference to the table, whether the calling party number is included in the table. By determining whether or not, it is possible to determine whether the calling party's telephone number has been authenticated.

If the calling party's telephone number is authenticated as a result of the determination, the calling party identification information providing system reflects the authentication key in the verified calling party identification information in step 604, and the calling party identification information in step 605. The calling party's telephone number is associated and stored in a database. In addition, if the calling party number is not authenticated, the calling party identification information providing system does not reflect the authentication key in the calling party identification information in step 605, and associates with the calling party number in the database. Save it.

As a result, according to the present invention, by displaying the calling party identification information registered on the server authenticated by the receiving terminal and further indicating whether to authenticate, the receiving user expands the selection of the incoming call.

More specifically, when the receiving terminal receives a call establishment request from the calling terminal, the receiver 720 transmits a query corresponding to the call establishment request. At this time, the query includes the telephone number of the calling terminal, and upon receiving the query, the reader 730 identifies the corresponding calling party using the telephone number of the calling terminal in the database 710. Read the information. Since the calling party number and the calling party identification information are stored in the database 710, the reader 730 may read out the corresponding calling party identification information using the phone number of the calling terminal.

The read calling party identification information is transmitted to the receiving terminal through the information providing unit 750, and the receiving terminal receiving the read calling party identification information displays the calling party identification information on the screen.

As another example, the read-out identification information may be added to the authentication key in the authentication unit 740. In detail, the authenticator 740 determines whether the calling party telephone number stored in the database 710 is authenticated, and reflects the result of the determination in the calling party identification information. By way of example, the authenticator 740 maintains a table containing at least one pre-authenticated telephone number for a pre-authenticated caller, and determines whether the calling party's telephone number is included in the table with reference to the table. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the authentication. In addition, the authenticator 740 may use an authentication key to reflect the determination result of the authentication. That is, a predetermined authentication key is added to the authenticated calling party identification information, and the receiving terminal may further display authentication status information corresponding to the authentication key along with the display of the calling party identification information.
