3 to 10 are flowcharts schematically illustrating an example of a method of providing a data transmission service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a data transmission service providing method using the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 as described above with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 10 will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may receive a transmission request signal from the user of the first electronic device 200 to transmit the first data (operation S100). For example, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may receive a transmission request signal from the user of the first electronic device 200 to transmit the first text message to the second electronic device 300. The input from the user may be performed by the input unit 130 of the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. [

Thereafter, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may check whether the transmission request signal for the first data conforms to the restriction condition (step S200). This confirmation can be performed by the control unit 120 of the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. [

At this time, the restriction condition may be a requirement for date, time, location, transmission object, transmission method, or data type.

As a specific example, the restriction condition may be a text message transmission request and a communication connection request to a specific object, e.g., the second electronic device 300. In this case, if the first data requesting transmission through the transmission request signal is a text message and the object to be transmitted is the second electronic device 300, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 transmits the first data It can be determined that the transmission request signal meets the restriction condition.

In another specific example, the restriction condition may be a posting request for a particular bulletin board, for example, the first bulletin board, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 am. In this case, if the transmission request signal is data in a form that the first data requesting transmission can be posted to the first bulletin board, the server 400 for posting the first data to the first bulletin board, And the transmission requesting time is 2:00 am, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may determine that the transmission request signal for the first data meets the restriction condition.

The constraint may be a plurality of requirements for a plurality of objects, such as date, time, location, object of transmission, method of transmission, or type of data. In addition, the constraint condition may be a condition that all of the plurality of requirements are satisfied or a condition that a certain number or more of the plurality of requirements must be satisfied.

Thereafter, when the transmission request signal satisfies the corresponding restriction condition, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may perform the step of storing the first data in the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 (step S300) . Such storage may be performed by a control command of the control unit 120 of the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. In this case, the transmission of the first data may be temporarily held by the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. [

Meanwhile, when the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 receives the transmission request signals from the user of the first electronic device 200 to transmit the first data to the plurality of electronic devices, at least one of the plurality of electronic devices It can be considered that the transmission request signal for one device meets the restriction condition. In this case, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may not transmit the first data to all of the plurality of electronic devices, or may not transmit the first data to only some of the electronic devices conforming to the restriction condition .

Thereafter, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may perform the step of checking whether the corresponding restriction condition has expired (step S400). This confirmation can be performed by the control unit 120 of the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. [

Here, in the case where the restriction condition expires, the first case in which the restriction condition expires due to the passage of time or the like, the second case in which the restriction function for restricting the transmission of data itself is inactivated, or the restriction function exists, A third case in which the limiting function is temporarily released to transmit data only, and the like.

In the first case, the restriction condition is satisfied when the user of the first electronic device 200 requests transmission of the data, but the restriction condition is expired due to the passage of time or the like. As a concrete example, it can be considered that the restriction condition is a request for transmission of all data from 12:00 pm to 6:00 am. In this case, if the time for requesting transmission by the transmission request signal is 2:00 in the morning, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 determines that the transmission request signal for the first data meets the restriction condition and transmits the first data It can be suspended and temporarily stored. Thereafter, when the time has passed 4 hours or more and 6 am, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may determine that the restriction condition has expired.

The second case will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. The third case will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG.

If the restriction condition has not expired, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 can maintain the step of storing the first data in the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 (step S300) It is possible to confirm whether or not the restriction condition is expired again.

Thereafter, when the restriction condition has expired, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may output an input request signal for requesting input of whether to retransmit the first data (step S500).

If the acceptance signal is input from the user of the first electronic device 200 in response to the input request signal, the data transmission service providing device 100 transmits the stored first data to the second electronic device 300 and the server 200. [ (Step S 600). That is, if the user of the first electronic device 200 desires to transmit the first data even at the expiration of the restriction condition, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 transmits the data 1 data can be transmitted. The data transmission service providing apparatus 100 can delete the transmitted data from the data transmission service providing apparatus 100. [

Also, as a result of checking whether the transmission request signal conforms to the restriction condition (step S200), the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 can transmit the first data even if the transmission request signal does not meet the restriction condition To the second electronic device 300 and / or the server 400 (step S600).

If a rejection signal is input from the user of the first electronic device 200 in response to the input request signal, the data transmission service providing device 100 performs step S700 of deleting the stored first data . That is, if the user of the first electronic device 200 refuses to transmit the first data at the time when the restriction condition has expired, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 transmits the first Data can be deleted without transmitting. When a response to the input request signal is not input for a predetermined time, that is, when a predetermined time has elapsed from a user of the first electronic device 200 in a state in which any one of the acceptance signal and the rejection signal is not inputted Even in this case, the data transmission service providing apparatus 100 may perform the step of deleting the stored first data (S700).
