Published tll inlernational search report METHOD FOR SEARCHING FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS THROUGH A NUMERICAL CODE THAT INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF TELEPHONE NUMBERS SPECIFIC BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a search method and more particularly to a method for searching a specific email by means of a numerical code that includes a combination of a plurality of specific telephone numbers, which avoids the user have to memorize long and confusing email addresses.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION After years of information on technological advances, it is unavoidable to say that people nowadays depend a lot and necessarily in many classes channels of electronic or digital information exchange, such as the Internet. With this dependence on information technology, people have found more convenient and faster ways to transmit and exchange information in order to promote growth and increase the competitive limit of their own industry or simply increase the quality of life. 2 A very popular method to transfer information quickly and accurately is through email. Email systems use the Internet or the World Wide Web (www) as a means to transfer individual emails from senders to their respective recipients. More explicitly when the user wishes to transfer information in the form of written texts or computer files to a particular recipient, the user only needs to prepare the e-mail using some form of e-mail program and then upload it to a server. mail connected to the Internet. The receiver will then receive some type of notification when it connects to the Internet and will open the mail container program. In order to receive an email the recipient only needs to download the specific email from the mail server to complete the process of transferring emails. Then, the recipient can count on the ability to obtain the information as sent from the sender of the email. One advantage of such an email system is that the sender and receiver do not need to be connected to the Internet at the same time in order to complete the process of transferring the email. You can put an email on the mail server for a specific period of time. Currently, there are two main categories of e-mail systems, namely the Post Office Protocol (POP) e-mail system 3 and the network-based e-mail system. For the POP email system, as shown in Figure 1, a particular email program must be installed on the sender's and receiver's computers. With the POP email system, the sender (S) needs to first analyze an email and upload it to a simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) server (1) via the Internet, then the email is transferred to the server. server (2) POP of the receiver, where when the receiver (R) has access to the Internet (I), the user can download the email from the server (2) POP on his computer to complete the mail transfer process electronic. On the other hand, under the network-based email system, as shown in Figure 2, the sending and retrieval of a particular email is done entirely through the World Wide Web (W). In accordance with this, instead of an email program, the sender (S) and the receiver (R) need a browser with the ability to browse the web pages through the World Wide Web (W) where it is first loaded the email in a network server (3) by the sender (S) and then the receiver (R) downloads it. The main advantage of this method is that the sender and receiver can send and receive an email on any computer that is connected to the Internet. No additional email program is required. 4 Each of the emails is characterized by a unique email address that is formed by characters, such as alphabet, numbers and scores, where all correspondence related to the email refers to your email address. In fact, with the ever increasing use of information technology, there is a large number of registered email addresses around the world. Currently, there are approximately twenty million established network sites that can be accessed through the World Wide Web throughout the world, where the host of most network sites can have one or more addresses of emails shown to their browsers for contact or exchange of information. It is for this reason that there is a large number of registered email addresses with different mail servers around the world. In practice, there are many Internet service providers that provide the email service to individual customers and companies. Despite all the advantages, one of the current problems associated with certain emails are email addresses. Currently, an email address is usually determined by the user of that email account. Given the large number of e-mail users, plus the unique nature of each of the e-mail addresses, the most popular e-mail addresses are quickly taken over by the mail server, that is, the users register them or " They occupy "very fast. Therefore, people who can not obtain a simple or indicative email address, have no choice but to amend their email address with a longer and more complicated address. For some email servers such as "Yahoo" or "Hotmail", the competition becomes increasingly pervasive. In addition, there is now no authorization agent or centralized mechanism to direct the distribution and hosting of email addresses. As a result, a particular email address may take any form formed of a plurality of characters, such as letters and numbers. Very often, an email address is totally incoherent and does not have any meaning for its owner. Due to the aforementioned problems, there may be problems remembering an email address. Some people forget or try to guess an email address of a company (for example, IBM, SONY, etc.) with whom they want to contact. However, this strategy is not effective, even thinking of very famous organizations. Because of this, the best way to remember an email address is to register it.
However, the registry is not everything, it still has certain limitations such as: A) Sometimes, when a user travels business, he may not have the opportunity to use his computer. In addition, you may not have access to your registry for certain reasons. As a result, it will not carry with it some necessary or convenient email addresses. Then, the user wants to contact the host of the email addresses, wants to look for them or ask for help from their house or company. Even if the user has the ability to call for help, probably by telephone, the pronunciation of similar letters can cause confusion. For example, some letters difficult to distinguish by telephone are the "b" and the "d". Therefore, the user can hear "b" instead of "d" or vice versa. Even when the user has help, for example by telephone, during the process of searching for an email address, the user may have lost valuable time. When the user is in a region with a different time zone than his company, the search time can be prolonged a lot. B) In this era of information, where electronic commerce predominates, especially for developed countries like the United States, communication by email can not be avoided. For some corporations, communication by email is the main communication method between the team between the company and its clients. In these cases, a large number of email addresses are involved. The question is how to handle this huge amount of confusing email addresses, which represents a great challenge for the managerial level of the company. In light of the above, a more systematic measure can be used to handle many email addresses.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The main objective of the present invention is to provide a method for searching an email address by means of a unique numerical code that includes a combination of predetermined telephone numbers, wherein a particular email address and its numeric code If a corresponding user registers together in a server, such as when a user wishes to send an email to that specific email address, the user will only have to provide the corresponding numeric code to that email address to the server, without the need to with the email address.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for searching an e-mail address by means of a unique numerical code that includes a combination of predetermined telephone numbers, wherein the unique numeric code and its corresponding e-mail address are recorded together on a server to act as a unique identifier of an email account. Furthermore, another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for searching an email address by means of a unique numerical code that includes a combination of predetermined telephone numbers, where it is allowed to register more than one numeric code with the server to act as unique identifiers for that specific email, so that the user can send information to that particular email by specifying any of the numeric codes associated with that email. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for searching an email address by means of a unique numerical code that includes a combination of predetermined telephone numbers, where the complicated and long email addresses are organized by their corresponding numerical codes , so that senders can have the ability to retrieve an email address quickly and easily with the use of a respective numeric code. In other words, the time associated with the operation is reduced to a minimum search and retrieval of long and complicated email addresses. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for searching an electronic mail address by means of a unique numerical code that includes a combination of predetermined telephone numbers, wherein the telephone numbers are registered with the local telecommunication networks of the owner of the mail electronic and are available to the public in telephone directories, in order to minimize the difficulty and problems that arise when retrieving the required telephone numbers, ie, the numerical codes, as in case a user calls home when traveling. In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method of searching for email addresses, which comprises the steps of: a) providing an information database, wherein a plurality of email addresses are stored and assigned in respective form with the specific numeric telephone codes, wherein each is a combination predetermined telephone numbers register of the respective email addresses; b) receive a search request from an email sender by entering a combination of 10 telephone numbers as a search code for an email to be sent by the sender of the electronic mail c) matching the search code with telephone codes to search for the respective telephone code that matches identically with the search code in order to search for the corresponding email address assigned to the respective telephone code. The method of searching for an electronic mail address of the present invention also comprises after step (c) a step (d-1), in which when the respective telephone code is found, the electronic mail is sent to the assigned email address with the telephone code that matches the search code. The method of searching an email address of the present invention also comprises after step (c), a step (d-2), in which when none of the telephone codes match the search code, it is requested to the sender of the email re-enter another search code. In accordance with the search method of an email address of the present invention, the combination of telephone numbers of each search code and telephone codes includes a registered telephone number of the respective email address record, where The registered telephone number 11 comprises a country code number, an area code number and a local telephone number.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION With reference to Figures 3 to 8 of the drawings, a method for searching an electronic mail address by means of a unique numerical code including a combination of specific telephone numbers according to a first modality is illustrated. Preferred of the present invention, wherein the method of searching for an electronic mail address comprises the steps of: a) providing an information database 40, wherein a plurality of electronic mail identifiers are stored in a respective manner. with specific numeric telephone codes, wherein each is a combination of predetermined telephone numbers of a register of the respective email addresses; 13 b) receiving a search request from a user, such as an email sender S by entering a combination of telephone numbers as a search code for an email to be sent by the sender S of the email; and c) matching the search code with the telephone codes to search the respective telephone code in the database 40 that matches identically with the search code in order to search for the corresponding e-mail identifier assigned to the respective telephone code. In accordance with the search method of an email address of the present invention, the combination of telephone numbers of each search code and telephone codes includes a registered telephone number of the respective email address record, where The registered telephone number comprises a country code number, an area code number and a local telephone number. In accordance with the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information database 40 is linked to an information center that is arranged to be connected to the Internet. In step (b), the search request sent from the sender (S) of the email is received by the information center, where the search request is sent together with a request to send an email from the 14th sender (s) of the email and the request to send the email includes the search code. In accordance with the first preferred embodiment, the search method of an email address of the present invention is mainly used through an Internet mail processing network site and is intended to work with a POP email system. The information center is pre-loaded into a computer system, which is connected to a plurality of computer systems through the Internet. In accordance with this, the information center is linked to the World Wide Web (www), where any computer system linked to the World Wide Web can also connect to the information center. The information center comprises an e-mail processing network site 10 comprising a server 11 of the particular network site connected to the World Wide Web (W), wherein the e-mail processing network site 10 comprises a page 20 of the search request network. The search request network page 20 may be a home page of that e-mail processing network site 10 or it may be one of the network pages under the e-mail processing network site 10. Because the information center is connected to the World Wide Web through the Internet, any other computer system that is connected to the World Wide Web can have access to the information database by connecting to the website. 10 network of electronic mail processing. In accordance with this, page 20 of the search request network is designed and programmed by any of the programs that support the World Wide Web application, such as XHTML, HTML, XML, PHP, ASP, CSS, JSP, C, C ++, CG120, Java, Java-script, Actives and etc., through a high-level language such as Visual Basic Script. The information database 40 is provided to the server 11 of the network site and stores e-mail identifiers and their corresponding telephone codes. E-mail identifiers can be a conventional identification of a particular e-mail account, such as an e-mail address. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, for each stored e-mail address, a unique telephone code is assigned to a corresponding e-mail identifier so that the e-mail account is not only characterized by its e-mail address. electronic, but also by a unique telephone code corresponding to that email address. Each of the telephone codes consists of a combination of telephone numbers in a sequence of: Country code - area code - local telephone number 16 where the local telephone number is the local telephone number of the corresponding e-mail address record , the area code is the number of the official telephone area code of that e-mail address record and the country code is the international telephone country code number of that e-mail address record. Depending on the nature of the email address records, the registration of the email address may be a corporation, an institution or a company. However, each of them must have a local contact telephone number. It should be mentioned that the unique feature of the telephone code can be ensured by combining the local telephone number with the area code and the country code with the corresponding email address record, which is assigned by a local telecommunication authority. For example, when an email address, chunavulin@lins.com has a registered local telephone number "5719812" in the city of Los Angeles that has a "626" area code in the United States that has a country code " 1", the corresponding telephone code of the email address of the chunqyulin@lins.com registry is "16265719812". Given the function of the aforementioned search request page 20, preferably, the search request network page 20 contains at least one section that allows the user of this search method to enter a numerical code of 17 search which is known to the sender (S) of the email. The numerical search code is a telephone code of the email account with which the sender (S) of the email tries to make contact. In other words, the numerical search code must also be entered in the sequential format of: Country code - area code - local telephone number. In this way, the sender (S) of the e-mail requires entering a corresponding numeric telephone code in order to search for the e-mail address with which it is desired to contact. In accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, in step (c), the search code is searched in the information database 40 by matching the search code with the telephone codes stored in the database 40 of information to achieve a search result that includes a respective email address of the recipient (R) of the email to be sent. For example, when the sender of the email wishes to send an email for the registration of the email address chunavulin@lins.com, but the sender of the email forgets the address or is not sure if the address is chunqlin @ lins. com, chunqvulin@lin.com or another while the sender of the email remembers the telephone number of the receiver, that is, the registration of the telephone number and the email address, the sender of the email, even though the sender 18 can send e-mail to the recipient by entering a search code consisting of the combination of the country code number, the area code number and the local telephone number of the recipient, that is, "16265719812". Because the telephone number, the country code + the area code + the local telephone number, is a unique number of the record that will not be identical to any other telephone number, the search code may match the telephone code "16265719812"assigned to the address chungyulin@lins.com. In this way, the email can be sent to the correct email address without remembering it. In accordance with the present invention, when none of the telephone codes match the search code, the email address search method of the present invention also comprises, after step (c), one step (d-2) to request the sender of the email to re-enter another search code. For the sender (S) of the electronic mail, when the respective telephone code is found, the email address search method of the present invention also comprises after step (c), a step (d-1), to send an email to the email address assigned to the phone code that matches the search code. The search process in step (c) is carried out by comparing the numerical search code entered with each 19 of the stored telephone codes representing the individual email addresses, respectively. When the numerical search code matches one of the stored telephone codes, a search result containing the e-mail address assigned with that telephone code is reached. Then, the e-mail address found plus the sender's e-mail will be sent to an SMTP e-mail server 40 which in turn sends the e-mail to the POP e-mail server 60 of the recipient via the Internet (I). So, the receiver (R) can retrieve the email from the sender (S) of the email by downloading the email from his POP email server 60 through the Internet (I). However, in step (d-2), when the numerical search code does not match any of the telephone codes stored in the information database 40, a re-entry network page will be immediately displayed to allow the user re-enter a new numerical search code or amend the previous search code that did not match. Of course, the email prepared by the sender (S) of the email will not be sent to the recipient. It should be mentioned that the search method of an email address of the present invention is not limited to a search with a unique numerical code. Thus, for each e-mail identifier stored at 20 the database 40 can be assigned with one or more telephone codes. When the numerical search code matches one of the telephone codes assigned to each particular email address, the email will be sent to a particular email address, following the procedures described above. Also, the local telephone number is not limited to the personal telephone number, it can be the company's contact number, or the mobile phone number of the owner of the email account. Also, when the registry assigns one or more telephone codes to your registered email address, the information center will proceed to a code search to determine if the entered telephone code has been assigned to another email address, otherwise the Your wife or your child can use the same phone number for their own registered email address. When the registration of the email address assigns a telephone code to your email address, the information center may request the email address record to verify that the registration of the email address is the owner of such telephone number. chosen to prevent the same telephone number from being occupied by another person.
As illustrated in Figure 4, for the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sequential executions of the search interface dynamics of the page programs 200, 21 201, 202, 203, 204 of the network page 20 The search request is illustrated as follows: Program 200 Adjust the language of the search request page 20 to be used, which is the same as the browser of the network site. Program 201 Enable Hypertext for page 20 of the Internet search request network. Program 202 Adjust the format of all the sources and forms shown on page 20 of the search request network. Program 203 Host a specific code location on page 20 of the search request network that allows the browser on page 20 of the search request network to enter a numerical search code of the email address with which it wishes to enter Contact. Program 204 After completing program 202, execute the search process. As shown in Figure 5, for the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sequential executions of the programs 300, 301, 302, 303, 304 and 305 of the search program 30 are illustrated as follows: Program 300 Adjust the language or the means of communication of the search process, which must be identical to the browser of the network site. Program 301 Enable the Hypertext of the Internet search process. 22 Program 302 Verify the validity of the entered numerical code, ie, verify if the entered numerical code can be recognized by the search program, such as if there is still space in the code location 21 on page 20 of the search request network, in order to ensure that the recognized information is entered to execute the search process. Program 303 Contact the information database 40. Program 304 Execute step (c), that is, match the search code with the telephone codes to search the respective telephone codes in the information database 40 that match identically with the search code, in order to search the corresponding e-mail identifier assigned to the respective telephone code. When the corresponding telephone code that matches the search code is found, the mail program is started and the SMTP server is connected to the corresponding e-mail address assigned with the telephone code found. When no telephone code matches the search code, proceed to the next program. Program 305 Receive the signal from the program 304 that there is no telephone code that matches the search code, immediately transfer a message to the sender of the email to request that it re-enter another 23 search code in the code location 21 on page 20 of the search request network. With reference to Figures 3, 4 and 5, when the sender (S) of the email completes the email and enters a particular network site 10 when connecting to the World Wide Web (W) through a wired transmission , such as a local telephone line, TV cables, etc., or a wireless transmission, such as a cell phone, PDA, satellite phone, etc., the sender (S) of the email can click on page 20 of search request network and then enter the search code in the code location 21 on page 20 of the search request network, wherein the search code includes a combination of specific telephone numbers owned by the designated receiver (R) of the email to be sent, where the combination of specific telephone numbers, in a sequential order, consists of the country code + the area code + the local telephone number which can be a number personal telephone 0 a telephone number of the recipient's company (R). For example, 1 (America) - 626 (Los Angeles) -1234567 (local telephone number). The local phone number can be a cell phone number. For some countries, such as Taiwan, there is no area code for cell phone numbers. For example, when using a Taiwanese cell phone number as the phone code or the search code, the country code number for Taiwan is "886", and the cell phone number is "886912345678" and the search code 24 to be entered to search for the email address by means of the corresponding telephone code must also be "88912345678". Accordingly, a cell phone can be used to enter the search code where the location of the code is displayed on a cell phone screen that connects to the Internet through a wireless communication network. After typing in the search code "country code number - area code number - local telephone number" at the code location 21 on page 20 of the search request network, where the number of the code does not exist. area code, then you do not need the area code number to type and you simply type in the country code number and the local phone number, programs 200, 201, 202, 203 and 204, as shown in the Figure 4, they will execute the program commands in sequence and then execute the comparison of the search code with the telephone codes and their corresponding email addresses stored in the information database 40, through the execution of the program commands of the program. the programs 300, 301, 302, 303 and 304 of the search program 30. When it is found that one of the telephone codes stored in the information database 40 matches identically with the search code entered in the code location 21 of the search request network page 20, the address of the address is transmitted immediately. specific email assigned to the telephone code found to the SMTP server 50 of the sender's email (S) through the Internet and sent to the email sender (S) of the email through the server 50 SMTP of the email to the POP server 60 email recipient (R) through the Internet (I). According to this, the receiver (R) can download and have access to the email of the sender (S) of the email from his mail server 60 POP. Also, when a telephone code is not found in the information database 40 to match the search code after the execution of the programs 300, 301, 302, 303 and 304 of the search program 30, the program 305 immediately send a command such as "please re-enter the correct telephone number combination" on page 20 of the search request network, in order to inform the sender (S) of the email, where the sender (S) ) of the email you must enter another correct combination of the phone number in order to proceed to another comparison search. With reference to Figure 6 of the drawings, an alternative mode of the search method of an email address according to the aforementioned first preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the search network site 10 'is linked to a plurality of network site servers 11 ', wherein each of the servers of the network site 26 comprises a database 40' of information which stores a plurality of electronic mail identifiers such as email addresses and their telephone codes, respectively. In other words, the database 40 'of information from the network site 10' of search is expanded significantly. Accordingly, step (C) of the search method of an email address in accordance with the alternative mode of the first embodiment of the present invention also comprises the steps of: (c-1) searching the numeric code of search for the plurality of information databases simultaneously; and (c-2) matching the search code with the telephone codes stored in the information databases to search for the corresponding telephone code that matches identically with the search code, in order to search for the identifier of the corresponding electronic mail , such as the email address assigned to the respective telephone number. In the first alternative mode, the search process is carried out by comparing the numerical search code entered with each of the stored telephone codes, which represents a single network site of a plurality of 40 'information databases . When the numerical search code matches one of the stored telephone codes, a result containing the designated e-mail address, represented by the telephone code, will be obtained. Then, the electronic mail 27 prepared by the user, such as the sender (S) of the electronic mail, will be automatically sent to the user's SMTP server 50 ', where the email will finally be sent to the server 60' POP of the user. receiver (R) under the designated e-mail address. With reference to Figure 7 of the drawings, there is illustrated an email address search method in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second preferred embodiment is very similar to the first preferred embodiment above, except that the information center introduces in step (A) and that the search method operates in a pre-loaded e-mail processing program better than the e-mail processing network site. In accordance with the second preferred embodiment, the e-mail processing program 70 is pre-loaded into the user's computer system (P), which is connected to a particular server through the Internet, where the program 70 E-mail processing comprises a search request interface that provides a code location 71 that contains a section to allow the user, such as the sender (S) of the e-mail to enter the numerical search code in the processing program 70 of email and execute the search and matching process in step (c). The information database 40, which stores the electronic identifiers such as the email addresses and their corresponding telephone codes, is provided on a server connected to the Internet, to which the user's computer system is connected. Similar to the first preferred embodiment, the search process according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is carried out by comparing the numerical search code entered with each of the telephone codes stored in the information database 40 from the server through the Internet and each represents an individual email address. When the entered telephone number code matches one of the stored telephone codes, a search result is obtained containing the e-mail address represented by that telephone code. Then the designated e-mail address plus the e-mail of the sender (S) of the e-mail will be sent to the SMTP server 50 of the recipient's (R) e-mail, which, in turn, sends the e-mail to the server 60 POP of the recipient. recipient's (R) email through the Internet. Then, the receiver (R) can retrieve the e-mail from the sender (S) of the e-mail by downloading the e-mail from his server 60 POP e-mail through the Internet. For example, as shown in Figure 7, when the sender (S) of the email selects to send an email through the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sender (S) of the email can open the email processing program 70 on his computer and enter a combination of specific telephone numbers, such as the search code, "country code number + area code number" + local telephone number. " For example: (a) 1 (United States country code) - 626 (Los Angeles area code) - 1234567 (receiver's local telephone number (R)), so that the search code is "16261234567" or (b) 886 (Taiwan country code) - 912-345-678 (receiver's cellular phone number (R) in Taiwan), so the search code is "886912345678". When the sender (S) of the e-mail completes the e-mail and enters the search code in a code location 71 of the e-mail processing program 70 (P) of the user's computer, which is connected to the database 40 of information on the server via the Internet, by means of a wired transmission, such as local telephone lines, TV cables, etc., or a wireless transmission, such as a cell phone, PDA, satellite phone, etc. ., the search program 80 installed in the system (P) of the user's computer is activated to proceed with a comparison search to match the search code with all the search codes stored in the database 40 30 of information , where each of the telephone codes is a unique numerical code consisting of a combination of specific telephone numbers owned by the address register corresponding e-mail address, as in the first preferred mode, where the combination of the specific telephone numbers in sequential order, consists of the country code + area code + local telephone number, which can be a personal telephone number or a telephone number of the receiver's corporation (R), that is, the registration of the respective email address. When it is found that one of the telephone codes stored in the information database 40 identically matches the search code entered in the code location 71 of the e-mail processing program 70, the e-mail address of the e-mail is transmitted immediately. sender (S) of the electronic mail to the SMTP server 50 of the sender's email (S) through the Internet (I) and the SMTP server 50 of the email will send the email to the server 60 POP of the email of the receiver (R) through the Internet (I). According to this, the receiver (R) can download and have access to the email of the sender (S) of the email from his mail server 60 POP. Also, when a telephone code is not found in the information database 40 to match the search code, the email prepared by the sender (S) of the email will not be sent to the receiver (R). Then, the search program 80 immediately sends a command such as "please re-enter the correct telephone number combination" to the email processing program 70, in order to inform the sender (S) of the email, in where the sender (S) of the email must enter another correct combination of the telephone number in the code location 71, in order to proceed to another comparison search. A slight modification to the second preferred prior embodiment of the present invention, an alternative mode is illustrated in Figure 8 of the drawings, wherein the search process is carried out by comparing the numerical search code entered with each of the telephone codes stored in a plurality of the database 40 'of information in different servers of the Internet. When the numerical search code matches one of the telephone codes stored in any of the 40'-information databases, you get a search result that contains the email address assigned with the matching phone code. Then, the e-mail prepared by the sender (S) of the e-mail will be automatically sent to the SMTP server 50 of the e-mail sender (S), where the e-mail will finally be sent to the e-mail server 60 POP of the receiver (R) of the email address of the receiver 32 (R). It should be mentioned that the email transfer system in the alternative mode of the second mode is the POP email system, that is, the use of an email processing program 70 as a better computer user interface. than a web page. When the numerical search code does not match any of the telephone codes stored in any of the databases 40 ', a command will be sent to the email processing program 70 to request the sender (S) of the email to enter another code numerical search and preferably informs the sender (S) of the email that the previous search did not coincide with any of the email addresses in the 40 'databases. Of course, the previous communication processes, as usual, are carried out through the Internet. From the above, the present invention provides a method for searching an email address with the use of a unique telephone code of that email account, for this reason the problems arising from the search or with access are reduced to long and complicated email addresses. In accordance with this, persons skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is only exemplary and is not intended to be limiting.As will be seen, the objects of the present invention have been effectively achieved. The embodiments have been shown and described for the purpose of illustrating the structural and functional principles of the present invention, and may be subject to change without departing from such principles.
