Subsequently, when the purchase amount is settled in the first portable terminal 110, the stationery providing server 130 searches for the purchase requested stationery in the database 132 storing the stationery and searches for the first portable terminal. Provided to the terminal 110.

Accordingly, the first portable terminal 110 receives the stationery including the entertainment content from the stationery providing server 130 and stores the stationery in the memory.

Thereafter, the first portable terminal 110 transmits a text message to the second portable terminal 150 using the stationery stored in the memory. Then, the SMS server 140 identifies the second mobile terminal 150 and transmits the text message.

In this case, the stationery providing server 130 may give a predetermined benefit to the first portable terminal 110. For example, the stationery providing server 130 may provide the first mobile terminal 110 with benefits such as discount of stationery purchase amount, point accumulation, mileage accumulation, cashback accumulation, gift certificate lottery, sweepstakes, and coupon provision. Can be.

Subsequently, the second mobile terminal 150 receives a text message having a background of the stationery including the advertisement content from the first mobile terminal 110. Thus, the recipient can also view the entertainment content included in the letter through the text message.

For reference, the mobile communication network 120 is a general wireless network that transmits and receives text messages, voice data, and various signals. Although not shown, the mobile communication network 120 includes a base station, a base station controller, a switch, and a home location register (HLR). can do.

The base station is responsible for exchanging information with the mobile terminal through a transmission and reception antenna.

The base station controller performs wired / wireless channel management terminal protocol matching and base station protocol matching and control, and is responsible for base station management functions such as system loading failure management.

The switching center serves as a central control function to process signals sent / received at the base station and to adjust the base station controller to be operated efficiently.

The home location register is in charge of a function of informing the subscriber location and various information such as a subscriber's outgoing / receiving status and additional services.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an entertainment content providing system using stationery according to an embodiment of the present invention. The entertainment content providing system may be mounted on the stationery providing server 130 of FIG. 1 and implemented.

2, the entertainment content providing system 200 using stationery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiver 210, an amount payment unit 220, a provider 230, a database 240, and an exposure order. The determination unit 250, the benefit granting unit 260, and the control unit 270 may be included.

The receiving unit 210 receives a purchase request for stationery including entertainment content from the first portable terminal (see 110 of FIG. 1). Here, the letter paper may be used as a background of the text message when the sender wants to send a text message.

The exposure order determiner 250 calculates the popularity of the letter and determines the exposure order of the letter on the screen of the first mobile terminal according to the calculated popularity. In this case, the exposure order determiner 250 may calculate the popularity based on at least one of the number of purchases, the number of exposures, or the number of clicks of the letterhead.

Accordingly, the first mobile terminal may expose the letters of high popularity on the screen, so that the sender may see the letters of the high popularity among the letters exposed on the screen of the first mobile terminal. I can recognize it well.

The benefit granting unit 260 provides a benefit to the first portable terminal when the first portable terminal transmits a text message to the second portable terminal using the stationery.

In this case, the benefit granting unit 260 may provide at least one benefit of discount, point accumulation, mileage accumulation, cashback accumulation, gift certificate lottery, sweepstakes, or coupon provision to the first mobile terminal for the purchase amount of the stationery. You can give it.

In addition, the benefit granting unit 260 may differentially grant the benefit to the first portable terminal according to the number of times the text message is transmitted or the purchase grade of the person who purchases the stationery. Here, the purchase grade may be adjusted up / down by the number of purchases or the amount of purchase of the stationery.

Therefore, the sender may receive more benefits as the number of transmissions of the text message increases or the purchase grade of the person who purchases the letter increases.

On the other hand, the second portable terminal receives the text message transmitted by the first portable terminal, the stationery containing the entertainment content is inserted in the background, the receiver is included in the stationery Entertainment content can be seen.

As described above, since not only the sender but also the receiver can view the entertainment content included in the stationery through the text message, the sales area of the stationery including the entertainment content can be further expanded.

For reference, the text message may include any one of a short message service (SMS), a long message service (LMS), and a multimedia message service (MMS).

The controller 250 is an entertainment content providing system 200 using stationery according to an embodiment of the present invention, that is, the receiving unit 210, the amount payment unit 220, the providing unit 230, the database 340, exposure The operations of the order determiner 250 and the benefit granter 260 may be controlled overall.

3 to 5 illustrate an example of providing entertainment content using stationery according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the stationery providing server 130 may include a stationery 310 including entertainment content 312 at the request of the sender's first portable terminal 110. To provide. Then, the first portable terminal 110 stores the stationery 310 in a memory.

Thereafter, when the caller selects the stationery 310 as the background of the text message on the first portable terminal 110, as shown in FIG. 4, the first portable terminal 110 is displayed on the screen 400. The stationery 310 including the entertainment content 312 is displayed as a background of the text message.

Subsequently, when the caller inputs a letter, ie, “How are you?” In the letterhead, and then enters the phone number and the transmission key of the caller and the receiver in turn, as shown in FIG. 5, the first portable terminal. 110 transmits the letter 310 to the second mobile terminal 150 of the recipient identified by the phone number.

Accordingly, the sender receives at least one benefit of a discount, a point accumulation, a mileage accumulation, a cashback accumulation, a gift certificate lottery, a prize lottery, or a coupon for the purchase amount of the stationery 310 including the entertainment content 312.
