Description

Data management apparatus and method {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA}

The present invention relates to a data management apparatus and method, and more particularly, to a data management apparatus and method for storing data generated for a predetermined telephone number and transmitting the stored data to another terminal.

In general, unique telephone numbers are set in wireless communication terminals and landline telephones. This phone number is also used as an ID that tells who you are when you call someone, but most of all, it is used by someone to choose the terminal you want to call.

Recently, terminal users frequently change their phone numbers due to replacement of terminals, prevention of stalkers, and change of residence. Therefore, it is necessary to inform everyone who knows the changed phone number, and it is not so easy to inform people of the changed phone number.

A conventional method for solving this problem is to register a phone number change notification service. What is the phone number change notification service? When you change your current phone number to a new phone number, you can register for the phone number change notification service. A service that informs you or automatically connects a call to a changed phone number.

However, such a conventional method provides a telephone number change notification service to everyone regardless of who is calling, so that an insignificant person or a malicious call, such as when the frequency of calls is extremely low or one-off, is called. There was also a problem of unnecessarily exposing a user's phone number to certain people who are calling.

In addition, according to the frequent change of the telephone number, the telephone number before the change may have a history of being used as a telephone number of multiple users at different times. In such a case, when the user wants to know the changed telephone number of the telephone number before the change, the telephone number change notification service guides the changed telephone number of the recent user. In this case, the recent user may not be the intended user.

In addition, it is impossible to talk to the terminal user when a call is not available due to a lost situation of the terminal or an error in the communication repeater / server. At this time, there is no method for confirming the situation of the terminal user on the transmission terminal side which desires to talk with the terminal user.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0183589 discloses a system that transfers or guides a call to a new number when the caller calls the old number of the called party when the phone number of the mobile phone is changed. However, the guidance on the new number for this old number is limited to the unspecified number. In addition, a method for checking a user's message at the caller, i.

Therefore, if there are a plurality of users who used the past phone number, a method for allowing the sender to know the changed current phone number of the desired user is required. In addition, there is a need for a method for allowing a user to leave a message and check a message at a transmitting terminal in a call incapacity situation.

Korea Utility Model Registration No. 0183589

The present invention provides a data management apparatus and method for storing data generated for a predetermined telephone number and transmitting the stored data to another terminal.

Hereinafter, a data management apparatus and method related to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For convenience of description, a user who wants to receive a changed telephone number is referred to as a sender, and a user who uses the changed telephone number is referred to as a receiver. Further, it is assumed that a transmitting terminal is a terminal used by the sender, and a receiving terminal is a terminal used by the receiver.

1 is a block diagram showing a data management apparatus of the present invention.

The data management apparatus shown in FIG. 1 includes a number storage unit 110 which stores number information including a current number and user information of a receiving terminal and at least one past number, and a telephone inputted from the transmitting terminal after being connected to a call terminal. A number receiving unit 130 for receiving a number extracts one or more number information including a past number identical to the received telephone number among the stored number information, and sequentially stores codes that can be input by the transmitting terminal for each extracted number information. Number information extraction unit 150 for assigning an identifier, a message transmitter 170 for transmitting a message containing the user information of each number information to which the identifier is assigned and the assigned identifier in the order of the identifier to the transmitting terminal And after receiving the message, the identifier selected by the transmitting terminal is received. The current number of the granted number of the selected extension identifier of the given information includes a number of guide portion 190 is transmitted to the transmission terminal.

The number storage unit 110 stores the number information, which includes the current number and user information of the receiving terminal and one or more past numbers. The current number of the receiving terminal refers to the telephone number currently used by the receiving terminal, that is, the receiver is currently using. The user information includes information that can distinguish the recipient from other people, and may include, for example, a name, address, and a workplace. In general, the user information also includes the telephone number of the receiver, but in the present invention, since the telephone number is managed separately, it is not included in the user information.

The past number is a number used before the current number being used by the receiver, and may be plural in some cases. At this time, the past number included in the number information may be some past numbers selected by the receiver. For example, if a certain recipient has 10 past numbers, the number information may include only 5 past numbers selected by the recipient.

As such, the number information including the current number, the user information and the past number may be generated and stored by the input of the receiver, and may be received and stored from the server of the mobile communication company that the receiver is using.

The number receiving unit 130 receives a telephone number input from a transmitting terminal where call connection is completed. Call connection may be performed using an external communication network or a communication server / switch. The number receiving unit may transmit to the transmitting terminal a guidance message for inducing the sender to enter a telephone number through the transmitting terminal. At this time, the guide message may be, for example, 'Please enter the existing phone number of the number you want to receive information, please press #'. At this time, the guide message may be guided by voice or text. The telephone number entered by the sender will then be the receiver's past number. This is because if the current number can be entered, the call connection is directly performed with the called party, so there is no need to access the data management device.

The number information extracting unit 150 extracts the number information including the past number same as the received telephone number from the number information stored in the number storing unit. Thereafter, an identifier is assigned to each extracted number information. The identifier at this time consists of a code that can be input from the transmitting terminal and has sequentiality. Codes that can be input by the transmitting terminal refer to letters, numbers, symbols, and voices supported by the input apparatus of the transmitting terminal. For example, the identifier may be a number that can be combined with 0 to 9 assigned to a keypad provided as an input device of a transmitting terminal. In addition, since the identifiers have sequentiality, they may be sequentially assigned as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... The reason for configuring the identifier in this way is to allow the sender to select a desired identifier through the transmitting terminal.

The message transmitter 170 transmits a message including the user information included in each number information to which the identifier is assigned and the assigned identifier to the transmitting terminal. The transmission order at this time depends on the order of the identifiers. Even when a plurality of user information and identifiers are transmitted at once in the form of a text message, the arrangement order of each character follows the order of the identifiers. For example, if Identifier 1-User A, Identifier 2-User B, Identifier 3-User C, ..., then 1-A, 2-B, 3-C, ... You can send or create and send a text message that is integrated in the order 1-A, 2-B, 3-C, ...

The number guide unit 190 receives the selected identifier from the transmitting terminal and transmits the current number of the number information to which the received identifier is assigned in at least one of a text and a voice to the transmitting terminal. For example, when the sender selects 1 while 1-A, 2-B, 3-C, ... are transmitted, the current number of the number information to which the identifier of '1' is assigned is transmitted to the transmitting terminal. At this time, the current phone number of the selected A is XXX-XXXX. In addition to the current number, an additional announcement (except for XXX-XXXX) may be added and transmitted.

In order for the sender to select an identifier, a message including a user information and an identifier is transmitted by the message transmitter and the message must be displayed in voice or text on the transmitter. Since the selection of the sender will be made after the display of the message, the number guide can operate after the operation of the message transmitter.

On the other hand, when there are a plurality of recipients for the same past number, the receiver of the current number to which the sender wants to be generally informed is likely to be the recipient who has recently used the past number as the current number. Therefore, it is preferable that transmission of the message including the user information and the identifier made by the message transmitter is performed in the reverse order of time. At this time, the time may be a valid time point of the same past number as the telephone number input by the sender. Since the phone number is allowed to be used by only one user at a time point, the opening time or termination time of the corresponding phone number may be the valid time.

The number information may further include a valid time of each past number for the reverse order of the time, and the number information extracting unit 150 may assign the identifier in the reverse order based on the valid time of the same past number. This configuration allows the message transmitter to transmit the user information in the reverse order of time.

According to the above configuration, even if a plurality of recipients have used the same past number (past telephone number) in the past, the sender can be guided by selecting the desired recipient and changing the current number (current telephone number). This is useful when the same past number is used by multiple recipients, but may be advantageous in terms of recipient protection even when used by a single recipient.

Hereinafter, a configuration for receiver protection will be described.

According to the configuration described above, the sender can be easily informed of the current number, but the recipient may wish not to inform the specific sender of his or her current number.

To this end, the method may further include guide method information that is set to one of the manual guide or the automatic guide of the current number, wherein the number guide unit 190 is the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned when the guide method information is set to automatic guide. The current number of can be transmitted to the transmitting terminal. That is, in the state where the guidance method information is set to automatic guidance, the same operation as described above is performed.

If the guidance method information is set to manual guidance, the call number and the current telephone of the transmitting terminal are transmitted to the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned, without transmitting the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned. The number guide wish message can be transmitted. Although the sender has connected to the data management device to be informed of the receiver's current number, the ultimate goal will be a call connection with the receiver. Therefore, it is possible to replace the guidance of the current number by informing the receiver that the sender desires to connect the call with the receiver, that is, the current telephone number guidance wish message. Recipients who have received the phone number wish message can optionally give the current number directly or attempt a direct call connection with the sender. Or no action can be taken.

The number guide unit may terminate the call connection with the transmitting terminal after transmitting the current number to the transmitting terminal or transmitting the current telephone number guide wish message to the current number (receiving terminal) of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned. In the latter case, a message indicating that the current telephone number guidance wish message is transmitted to the receiving terminal before the call connection is terminated may be transmitted to the transmitting terminal.

The guide method information is set by the receiver, and the current phone number guide desired message may include at least one of a text message generated by the number guide unit or a voice message transmitted from the transmitting terminal. For example, the number guide checks the guide method information of the number information given the identifier selected by the sender, and if it is set manually, 'The recipient is manually checking the guide of the current phone number. Send the sender's caller's number to the user and end the call ?, and, depending on the sender's choice, there is a request for guidance of the current phone number from YYY-YYYY to the old number XXX-XXXX. A current telephone number guidance wish message in the form of a text such as. 'Can be sent to the receiver (receiving terminal). Or "The recipient is manually checking for instructions on the current phone number. If you leave the name and description of the sender and the telephone number to be contacted by voice, we will forward it to the recipient. 'And if the sender responds, the voice message left by the sender will be sent to the receiver (receiving terminal). Or "You have a request for guidance from your current phone number from YYY-YYYY to the old number XXX-XXXX. Please check the voice left by the sender 'along with the text message left by the sender. On the other hand, when the call number of the transmitting terminal is transmitted and displayed together with the calling party number service, 'YYY-YYYY', which is the call number of the transmitting terminal, may be omitted from the preceding announcement.

However, in this case, since the sender has confirmed the user information through the message transmitter, the sender can determine whether the receiver intentionally refuses the guidance. In such a case, it may be a problem when the sender has a malicious intention to the receiver, so that the message transmitter may not transmit the user information itself.

To this end, the number information further includes one or more rejected call numbers for rejecting the guidance of the current number, and the number information extracting unit 150 includes the number information including the same rejected call number as the call number of the transmitting terminal among the extracted number information. (Deny number information) may not be assigned an identifier. Of course, this requires the receiver to register the rejected call number as the number information in advance. In this case, the message transmitter 170 does not transmit the user information including the rejected number information to the transmitting terminal.

As a result, it is difficult for the malicious sender to know the receiver's number change, etc., thereby protecting the receiver more effectively.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a data management method of the present invention, and the data management method illustrated in FIG. 2 may be described as an operation of the data management apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1.

First, a current number and user information of a receiving terminal, one or more past numbers and number information including valid time of each past number are stored (S 510). The recipient may access and register the data management device directly or be provided by a carrier. Even in the former case, it is advantageous to be provided by the carrier for the validity time of the past number.

After the call connection with the transmitting terminal receives the telephone number input from the transmitting terminal (S520). In the operation performed by the number receiving unit 130, the announcement for inducing the sender's telephone number input may be transmitted to the transmitting terminal.

One or more number information including a past number identical to the received telephone number is extracted from the stored number information (S530). If there is no number information extracted by the operation performed by the number information extracting unit 150, an error message may be transmitted to the transmitting terminal. If the number receiving unit already includes a configuration for sending the announcement to the transmitting terminal, the number information extracting unit may generate only the error message and transmit the generated error message through the number receiving unit.

For each of the extracted number information, a sequential identifier of a code input from the transmitting terminal is assigned in the reverse order based on the valid time point of the same past number (S541). The operation performed by the number information extracting unit 150 can provide convenience to the sender by assigning such an identifier.

According to the order of the identifier, a message including the user information of each number information to which the identifier is assigned and the assigned identifier is transmitted to the transmitting terminal (S550). As the operation performed by the message transmitter 170, the message may be transmitted in the form of voice or text. The various messages that appear after that may all be sent and received in this manner.

After the message is transmitted, the selected identifier is received by the transmitting terminal (S 560), and the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned among the number information to which the identifier is assigned is transmitted to the transmitting terminal (S 581). The operation is performed in the number guide unit 190 so that the sender is finally informed of the current number.

If considering the protection of the receiver, the following process may be added.

First, the number information further includes guide scheme information set to one of a manual guide or an automatic guide of the current number, and the step of transmitting the current number (S 560, S 581) comprises receiving an identifier selected by the transmitting terminal. In operation S 560, when the guidance method information is set to automatic guidance (S 580), transmitting the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned to the transmitting terminal (S 581). If set to guide (S 580), the call number and the current telephone number of the transmitting terminal are guided to the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned without transmitting the current number of the number information to which the selected identifier is assigned. And transmitting a desired message (S 583). According to this, the receiver checks the call number of the calling terminal or the current telephone number guide request message if there is a calling terminal to receive its current number, and directly determines and performs the call connection with the sender or the present number. You can do it. In this case, the current phone number guide wish message may include at least one of a text message generated by the number guide unit or a voice message transmitted from the transmitting terminal.

On the other hand, the number information further includes one or more rejected call numbers for rejecting the guidance of the current number, and the step of assigning the identifier (S541) is the same as the call number of the transmitting terminal of the extracted number information rejection The identifier may not be assigned to the number information including the call number (S540).

As a result, the user information itself is not transmitted to a specific transmitting terminal, thereby protecting the receiver more effectively.

In the above, the configuration and method for guiding the current number to the sender have been described. For reference, let's take a look at the registration process of number information.

3 (FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B) is a flowchart showing a change telephone number registration method associated with the data management method of the present invention. For reference, steps excluding S 520 to S 583, S 603, and S 604 may be regarded as specifically showing step S 510 of FIG. 2.

For convenience of explanation, the call number of the transmitting terminal is set to '345678', the past number 1 of the receiving terminal to '123456', the past number 2 of the receiving terminal to '234567', and the current number of the receiving terminal to '456789'. The ID is set to '51913101' and the password is set to '31051912'.

First, the sender or the receiver makes a call to the representative phone (for example, 1588-7979) of the data management device (S601).

When the call connection is made, the data management device inquires whether it wants to guide the current number or to subscribe (S602). For example, an announcement such as “Press 1 for subscriber number change” or “2” for subscriber registration ”can be sent to the calling terminal. The transmitting terminal described above would enter "1" and the receiving terminal would enter "2".

If the calling terminal is a calling terminal, i.e., a terminal that wants to guide the current number (change number), it inputs a telephone number before the change and sends a comment to input a special symbol "#" (S603), and the received number, for example For example, if "123456" is correct, "1" is wrong, and "2" is inputted to transmit a comment (S604). When the received number “123456” is confirmed, the current number guide step S 520 to S 583 of FIG. 2 is performed. Steps S 602 to S 604 described above may be included in step S 520 of receiving a telephone number input from a transmitting terminal in FIG. 2.

In step S602, if "2" is selected again, it is checked whether it is an existing subscriber or a new subscriber again (S605), and in the case of an existing subscriber, a service such as number modification / addition is provided / progressed (S606). At this time, the ID "51913101" and the password "31051912" set at the time of new registration may be requested before the number correction / additional service is provided.

In the case of a new subscriber, it is requested to set an ID (S 607), and checks whether the input ID is normally input (S 608). After that, it is checked whether a password setting request (S 610) and normal input (S 611).

It requests the input of the telephone number (past number) before the change (S 613), and if there is an input number (for example, "123456"), it checks whether it is normally input (S 614).

A request is made for inputting the use year of the past number (S 616), and it is checked whether the input year is normally input (S 617). The year of use can be entered automatically with the help of the carrier. To this end, the data management device may have a means for retrieving the usage history of the past number from the server of the telecommunication company, or may have a means for requesting to transmit the usage history of the past number to the server of the telecommunication company.

The year of use can be entered in either year, month or day.

After registering the year, a user name or a trade name of the past number is requested (S 619), and whether the input is normally entered or not (not shown). At this time, the user name or trade name of the past number may be included in the user information of the number information.

Thereafter, it is checked whether there is an additional number to be input (S620), and if there is a past number to be additionally input (eg, “234567”) according to a user's selection, the process returns to S613. The procedure for additionally entered past numbers is the same as in S 614 to S 620.

After that, the user guides the billing and checks whether the user proceeds (S 622). If the user does not want to proceed, the service input is terminated (S 623). Step S622 may be performed immediately before step S607 or just before step S613.

Next, a request is made for inputting the current telephone number (current number) to be guided (S 624), and it is checked whether the input is normal or not (S 625).

For the guidance method, a request is made to select whether the user wants to confirm whether or not the user wants to confirm whether the voice message (text message is also possible) before the guidance (S 627). In the former case, the number information may include manually set guide method information, and in the latter case, the number information may not include guide method information or automatically set guide method information. If it is set manually, it is requested to input a phone number to receive a voice message, that is, a current phone number guide wish message (S 628), and check whether it is normally input (S 629) (S 630). In operation S 628, if there is no selection, the current number input by S 624 may be selected. On the other hand, in step S628 it is possible to guide the information on the charge when using the current telephone number guide wish message.

Subsequently, a request is made to input a mobile phone number for which payment is to be made (S 631), and it is checked whether it is normally input (S 632). S 631 and S 632 may be omitted when a separate payment method is provided.

Thereafter, the amount of payment is guided (S 633), the authentication number is used to prevent subscription of another person's name (S 634), and a description of confirmation is guided as necessary (S 635).

According to the above configuration, when a change telephone number guide is requested, information of past users of the past number entered first is guided, and the current telephone number of the selected past user is guided, so that even if a plurality of past users of the same past number is provided, accurate guidance is possible. Do.

In addition, when guiding information of past users, the user may increase convenience of a user who wants to know a changed telephone number by guiding in reverse order based on the valid time of the corresponding past number.

In addition, when the user (recipient) of the change telephone number (current number) to be guided wants to confirm before the current number guidance, the current number guide is sent by sending a text message or a voice message of the sender generated by the change telephone number guidance server to the receiver. Can be replaced. The recipient checks the text message or voice message and then connects to the sender if he / she desires, so that the caller can ultimately talk to the desired recipient. This allows the recipient to not announce the current number to an undesired sender.

In addition, it is possible to effectively protect the user of the changed telephone number to be guided by not including his or her information in the information guide of past users for the specific number.

Hereinafter, a method of recording a message of a receiving terminal user in a situation in which a receiving terminal is incapable of communication and looking at the recording terminal will be described.

4 is a block diagram showing another data management apparatus of the present invention.

The data management apparatus shown in FIG. 4 includes a data storage unit 210 for storing data together with a first telephone number transmitted from the first terminal and a first telephone number corresponding to the second telephone number transmitted from the second terminal. And a data extracting unit 230 for searching in the data storage unit 210 and extracting data stored with the searched first phone number from the data storage unit 210 and transmitting the extracted data to the second terminal.

If the user loses the terminal or if there is a problem with the communication repeater / server due to the natural disaster, it is impossible to talk to the user. In the case of such a call failure, the second user has no way of confirming the safety of the terminal user unless the terminal user contacts the second user whose telephone number is stored. Therefore, in case of a call failure, a data storage 210 and a data extractor 230 are provided to check a message or data left by the user about a specific target or an unspecific target.

The data storage unit 210 stores the data with the first telephone number transmitted from the first terminal.

The first terminal is a terminal capable of transmitting data using various communication networks. For example, a mobile communication terminal, a landline telephone, a computer, and the like correspond to this. The first terminal may be a mobile communication terminal or a landline telephone of another user. In addition, the first terminal may be a mobile communication terminal or a wired telephone in consideration of a situation in which it is difficult to talk with a subject who is a mobile communication terminal or a landline telephone but is abroad. In addition, the first terminal may be a computer of its own or another person who can access the data management device through the Internet.

The first telephone number is a telephone number of a terminal of a user who wants to leave data in the data management apparatus, and is transmitted from the first terminal.

In detail, the first telephone number may be a telephone number of the first terminal or a telephone number input from the first terminal. When the first terminal is the user's own, the first telephone number becomes the telephone number of the first terminal, that is, the call connection number. If the first terminal is of another user, i.e., when the user's terminal is in a state of inability to use and borrows the terminal of another user, the public telephone is used, the first telephone number is connected through a computer. It becomes the telephone number entered through the first terminal.

If the first terminal connected to the data management apparatus is not assigned a telephone number such as a computer, the data management apparatus may request the user to input the first telephone number. When the first terminal connected to the data management apparatus is assigned a call connection number, that is, a telephone number, such as a mobile communication terminal, the telephone number assigned to the first terminal is used as the first telephone number or a telephone number input separately. 1 You have to choose whether to make a phone number. To this end, the data management device may include a request unit (not shown) that requests input of a first telephone number or requests to select a first telephone number. The request unit may be integrally formed with the number receiver 130 or the data receiver 250 of FIG. 1.

Data transmitted from the first terminal is data transmitted after being input at the first terminal or generated through other data generating means and then transmitted through the first terminal. The data may include at least one of a text message, a voice message, and one time password (OTP) data. The data may be received through the data receiver 250. In this case, the data receiving unit 250 may be formed integrally with the number receiving unit 130 or the requesting unit. The data receiver 250 may transmit a signal confirming that the data transmitted from the first terminal is normally received to the first terminal.

The data storage unit 210 stores the first telephone number and the data together in various ways. For example, when the first telephone number is transmitted, the storage area for the first telephone number is allocated, and the data transmitted from the first terminal is stored in the storage area allocated to the first telephone number. In this case, the first phone number may be stored together in the first storage area. The first telephone number may also function as an identifier that distinguishes the storage area from other storage areas. The data storage unit 210 may be integrally formed with the number storage unit 110 of FIG. 1.

The data extractor 230 extracts data stored in the data storage 210 and transmits the data to the second terminal connected to the data management device.

The second terminal transmits the second telephone number to the terminal connected to the data management apparatus. Therefore, the second terminal may be a device capable of transmitting a second telephone number to the data management device and receiving data from the data management device. The second terminal is, for example, a mobile communication terminal, a landline telephone, a computer, or the like.

When the second phone number is transmitted from the second terminal, the data extractor 230 searches whether the first phone number corresponding to the second phone number exists in the data storage unit 210. When a first telephone number corresponding to the second telephone number is found, the data stored in the data storage unit is extracted along with the found first telephone number and transmitted to the second terminal. If the first telephone number corresponding to the second telephone number is not found, a message indicating that there is no found telephone number may be transmitted to the second terminal. The message at this time may be generated by the data extractor or extracted from a storage such as a data storage.

The second telephone number transmitted from the second terminal may be received through the number receiver 130. The data extracted by the data extractor may be transmitted to the second terminal through the data transmitter 270. In this case, the data transmitter 270 may be integrally formed with the message transmitter 170.

According to the above configuration, the first user may store data in the data management apparatus at his / her telephone number, and the second user may check data of the first user stored in the data management apparatus at the telephone number of the first user.

For example, due to a natural disaster, the communication server or the repeater does not operate normally, and the first user is located in the jurisdiction of the communication server or the repeater with the owning terminal which is the mobile communication terminal to which the first phone number is assigned. Assume the case. A second user who is aware that the first user is in an area where a natural disaster has occurred has attempted a call to a mobile communication terminal of the first user to confirm the safety of the first user. However, since the mobile communication terminal of the first user is incapable of talking, the second user cannot make a call with the first user. In this situation, the first user may access the data management apparatus using a first terminal such as a wired telephone or a computer that can be driven, and store his comfort as a text message or a voice message as a phone number of the owning terminal. The second user who cannot make a call with the first user through the owning terminal accesses the data management device using the second terminal and then checks the text message or voice message stored in the phone number of the owning terminal of the first user. You can check the user's comfort.

In addition, the first user may use data being used as the first terminal in the second terminal. That is, the first user and the second user may be the same.

For example, assume that a first user uses One Time Password (OTP) data through a first terminal. When the first terminal is a mobile communication terminal, OTP data of the first terminal may be stored in the data management device as a phone number of the first terminal. Subsequently, when an abnormality occurs in the first terminal or when the first terminal is not possessed, the data management apparatus may be accessed through a second terminal such as a computer or another user's mobile communication terminal. The OTP service can be used through various devices by receiving OTP data stored in the phone number of the first terminal after accessing the data management device. The data at this time is not limited to OTP data. That is, the same user may store text data or voice data of the first terminal in the data management apparatus and use the text data or voice data of the first terminal in the second terminal.

As described above, the first terminal may not be the owning terminal of the first user. In this case, the second user may check data left by the first user through the first terminal through the second terminal. Thereafter, the second user may want to make a direct call with the first user through the first terminal, such as calling a first terminal. In order to prepare for such a case, the data extractor 230 may transmit the telephone number of the first terminal to the second terminal. The telephone number of the first terminal at this time is not a telephone number input from the first terminal, but a telephone number assigned to the first terminal. According to this configuration, the user of the second terminal can check not only the data left by the first user but also the telephone number of the first terminal recently used or used by the first user. Here, the telephone number of the first terminal may be data itself left by the first user. That is, the above data may be formed only by the phone number of the first terminal instead of the text message or voice message prepared by the first user.

A second user who is a user of the second terminal includes a plurality of users who know the owning terminal telephone number of the first user. The first user may allow a specific object among the second users to confirm the data or prevent the specific object from verifying the data. To this end, the data transmitted from the first terminal may include a third telephone number. In this case, the data extracting unit 230 may transmit data to the second terminal according to whether the telephone number of the second terminal and the third telephone number match.

The third telephone number may be a telephone number which allows data verification or a telephone number which limits data verification. In the former case, the data extracting unit transmits data to the second terminal when the second telephone number matches the third telephone number, and does not transmit data otherwise. In the latter case, if the second telephone number matches the third telephone number, the data extracting unit does not transmit the data to the second terminal, but otherwise transmits the data. Or you can mix the above. It is preferable to determine whether data is transmitted when the second telephone number and the third telephone number match or are inconsistent. To this end, the data extracting unit 230 may receive a setting signal for determining whether to transmit data for the third telephone number from the first terminal.

Meanwhile, the data transmitted from the first terminal may include charging data. In this case, the second terminal may check the data transmitted from the first terminal only when the processing for the charging data is completed, that is, the amount according to the charging data is paid. That is, the charging data of the stored data may be always transmitted to the second terminal, and only the remaining data except for the charging data may be transmitted only when the processing for charging is completed. This configuration is expected to be improved by combining with the third telephone number. For example, if there is a second user who the first user does not want to call, the first user blocks the phone number of the terminal of the second user by using the owning terminal. In this case, the second user cannot make a call through the owning terminal of the first user. However, the data left by the first user through the data management device may be checked. The first user who does not want such a situation may transmit the terminal telephone number of the second user as the third telephone number and do not transmit the data for the third telephone number. Alternatively, the billing data may be transmitted for the third telephone number. Thereafter, the data can be transmitted to the corresponding second terminal only when the processing for the billing data is completed, that is, the amount indicated by the billing data is paid. This billing data serves as a so-called warning to the user of the second terminal. Since such alerting may only preferably be made to a particular second user, it is preferably used with the configuration of a third telephone number.

The billing data may be selected from a billing list transmitted from the first terminal or presented in the data management device. The amount paid according to the billing data may be provided to the first user except for a predetermined fee.

When the amount is paid, the billing server, which is prepared separately, may transmit the payment to the data management device. The data management apparatus that has received the payment fact may transmit data to the second terminal or notify the second terminal of the completion of payment. In the latter case, the second terminal reconnected to the data management device may receive the desired data. In this case, billing data may be excluded from data received from the second terminal.

In summary, the data includes billing data, and the data extracting unit extracts billing data from the data and transmits the billing data to the second terminal, and then transmits the data to the second terminal when it is confirmed that the amount indicated by the billing data is paid.

5 is a flowchart illustrating another data management method of the present invention.

The data management method illustrated in FIG. 5 may be described as an operation of the data management apparatus illustrated in FIG. 4.

First, the first phone number and data transmitted from the first terminal are stored together (S 710). In an operation performed by the data storage unit 210, the data storage unit allocates a storage area to the transmitted first phone number and stores the data transmitted together with the first phone number in the allocated storage area. The first phone number and data transmitted from the first terminal may be received through the data receiver 250, and the data receiver may be integrally formed with the number receiver 130. The first telephone number may be stored together in the storage area, and the first telephone number thus stored may function as an identifier used for retrieval of the data extractor later.

Next, a first telephone number corresponding to a second telephone number transmitted from a second terminal is searched among the stored first telephone numbers, and data stored together with the retrieved first telephone number is extracted from the data storage unit. 2 is transmitted to the terminal (S730). The operation performed by the data extractor 230 is performed. The data extractor 230 searches the data storage 210 to determine whether there is a first telephone number transmitted from the second terminal. If there is a matching first telephone number as a result of the search, the data stored together with the first telephone number is extracted and transmitted to the second terminal. If there is no matching first telephone number as a result of the search, a message indicating that there is no search result is transmitted to the second terminal. Data transmission to the second terminal may be performed through the data transmitter 270.

According to the above configuration, the first user or the second user can confirm the data left by the first user using the first terminal to the predetermined telephone number by using a second terminal different from the first terminal.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive.
