A video message sending server for video messages through video communication and the recording medium

The present invention relates to a celebrity video call message transmission server for receiving a video message from a celebrity terminal and transmitting the video message to a video call of a member's mobile terminal, and a recording medium thereof.

In general, as the entertainment business develops, the general public has an increasing desire to communicate directly with a particular star he likes. Reflecting such needs, communication means such as fan signing society, ARS voicemail service, etc., and profitable business model based on this are continuously being developed.

In particular, as wired and wireless Internet communication has become widespread, Internet spaces such as homepage and Twitter have been spotlighted as active communication spaces between the general public and stars (actresses, entertainers, athletes, etc.). Accordingly, online chat events using wired and wireless Internet communications, and UFO services with stars are provided.

However, the conventional community service provided for communication with the star is limited to a specific person who can communicate at a specific time as it is provided as an event, so it is difficult to communicate with a star that the public wants at a time when the public wants. there was. In addition, even if they have a chance to communicate with the desired star through services such as online chat or text service, the above service can act as a proxy reply by a third party, which cannot guarantee the authenticity of the other party. Reliability also had a problem of deterioration.

For example, [Domestic Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0000597 (2009.01.08.), "Direct Fan Letter Operating System and Method", which is an example of a technology of directly transmitting and receiving a fan letter and the like (hereinafter, referred to as Prior Art 1) have. The prior art 1 is a technology that automatically translates this when a star transmits a fan letter and can easily check and reply to a fan member through a second terminal device. However, since the prior art 1 is limited to letters only, as pointed out above, there is a problem in that the authenticity of the other party is insufficient or the intimacy and reliability thereof are deteriorated.

In order to solve the above problems, an example of a technology for communicating with a celebrity by using a communication means such as a telephone, a mobile phone is [Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0956005 (published on May 04, 2010), "Communication Method Using Internet Communication Network". ] (Hereinafter referred to as prior art 2). The prior art 2 proposes a technology in which a celebrity and a general person talk by voice and video according to a schedule and selection of a celebrity using a communication means such as a PC, an Internet phone, and a mobile phone. However, the prior art 2 has a problem that the number of ordinary people that the star can call is too limited because the star and the general person make one-to-one calls directly.

In order to solve the problem of one-to-one communication, an example of a technology for providing real-time multimedia information of an entertainer by mail is disclosed in [Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0745301 (published on Aug. 1, 2007), "A real-time multimedia information providing method of a celebrity." "] (Hereafter Prior Art 3). The prior art 3 is a technology for transmitting a short message including a UAl callback of the celebrity multimedia content providing server to the mobile terminal of the member and transmitting the multimedia file to the member through the UAl callback. However, since the prior art 3 transmits a text message including a UAL callback, there is little virtual experience that a member directly receives a real-time call from an entertainer.

On the other hand, an example of a technology for providing a communication service between the public and the star by using a video is described in [Publication Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0131592 (2009.12.29. 2009), "How to provide a communication service between the public and the star using the video" ] (Hereinafter referred to as prior art 4). In the prior art 4, if a requestor uploads a video file created by him or her and requests that a specific person want to receive evaluation and response, the specific person provides the requestor by recording and uploading the evaluation and response action for the video. The technology is presented. The prior art 4 has to first make a video request by the general public, and does not provide a virtual experience of making a real time call because the video file is uploaded and downloaded through a server.

Therefore, a celebrity needs a technology that delivers a message to a large number of ordinary people, but each general person provides a virtual experience of talking to a celebrity in real time.
