Description

[규칙 제26조에 의한 보정 09.06.2010] 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 유저 인센티브 제공방법[Revision according to Rule 26.06.2010] How to provide user incentives to improve email reading rate
본 발명은, 이메일 열람율을 증진시키기 위한 비지니스 모델에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는, 컴퓨터 통신망을 통해 제공되는 일련의 이메일 서비스에 있어, 다양한 홍보문안으로 전송되는 기업 등의 광고메일에, 현물교환 및 보상할인이 가능한 분할 적립식 인센티브 아이콘을 첨부하고, 전송된 광고메일 열람 시, 그 첨부된 인센티브 제공 아이콘을 유저에게 선택적으로 획득, 적립, 사용 가능하게 하여, 새로운 형태의 수익모델을 창출할 수 있도록 한 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 유저 인센티브 제공방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a business model for improving the e-mail reading rate, and more particularly, in the series of e-mail services provided through a computer communication network, in-kind exchange and the like in the advertisement mail of companies and the like transmitted in various promotional texts In addition to the split-incentive incentive icon, which can be used to compensate, and when the sent e-mail is read, the attached incentive-providing icon can be selectively acquired, earned, and used by the user to create a new type of profit model. The present invention relates to a method of providing user incentives for improving e-mail viewing rate.
오늘날 이메일은 과거의 우편이나 팩스를 통한 케뮤니케이션을 대체하는 훌륭한 통신 수단으로써 자리 잡고 있다. Today, e-mail is becoming an excellent means of communication that replaces past communications by mail or fax.
이는, 개인과 개인의 커뮤니케이션에 머무르지 않고, 기업 대 개인 간의 영역에 까지 그 활용 범주도 넓어지고 있다. It is not limited to the communication between individuals, but also extends to the scope of business-to-person use.
이에 따라, 이메일 서비스를 제공하는 포탈업체들은 이메일을 사용하는 회원들을 위해 기가바이트(GB) 단위의 이메일 용량을 제공하고 있는 실정이다.Accordingly, portal companies that provide e-mail services provide e-mail capacity in gigabytes (GB) for members who use e-mail.
그러나, 일반적인 종래의 이메일 서비스는 서비스 개시 이래로 일명 ‘스팸메일’이라고 불리는 사회적 부작용 때문에 그 효용성을 의심받거나 저해 받고 있는 실정이다. However, the general conventional e-mail service has been questioned or hindered in its effectiveness due to social side effects called 'spam' since its inception.
스팸메일이란, 메일수집로봇프로그램이나, 수작업을 통한 웹사이트, 게시판(BBS), 뉴스그룹(Nesw group), 아이에스피(ISP:Internet Service Provider) 등의 이메일을 무작위로 추출하여 상품광고나, 회사홍보 등의 메시지를 담아 무차별적으로 보내지는 메일을 말하며, 받는 사람에게 아무런 도움이 되지 못하여 쓰레기나 폐기물처럼 버려지기에 정크메일(Junk Mail)이라고도 불린다. Spam e-mail is a mail collection robot program, a manual website, a bulletin board (BBS), a news group (Nesw group), or an Internet Service Provider (ISP), which randomly extracts e-mails for product advertisements or companies. It is a mail that is sent indiscriminately with a message such as publicity. It is also called Junk Mail because it is discarded like garbage or waste because it does not help the recipient.
이, 스팸메일은 이메일 서비스 제공자나, 유저 모두에게 커다란 스트레스를 주고 있어 사회적으로 막대한 비용과 노력을 소모하게 하는 부작용을 낳고 있는 실정이다.The spam mail is a situation that causes great stress on both the email service provider and the user, which causes socially expensive and effort-consuming side effects.
이러한 이유로, 최근 이메일을 이용하는 유저들은 홍수처럼 쏟아지는 스펨메일 때문에 극심한 스트레스를 호소하고 있으며, 이러한 고통을 호소하는 수가 인터넷을 이용하는 대부분의 유저들이라고 까지 판단되기에 정부는 "정보통신망 보급확장과 이용총진에 관한 법"을 통해 “원치 않는 수신자에게 광고 메일을 보냈을 경우 수신자가 신고하면 과태료를 처할 수 있음”을 명시하고 있는 실정이다.For this reason, users who use e-mail recently complain of extreme stress because of the flooding spam mails, and the government complained that the most appealing users are those who use the Internet. Act on "can be fined if you send an ad mail to an unsolicited recipient."
한 관련업체(eMarketer)기관의 조사에 따르면 원치않은 메시지가 우편함에 있다면, 유저의 4% 정도만 관심을 두고 열람하며, 나머지는 읽을 지 말지를 고민하거나(11%), 그냥 삭제한다(56%), 프라이버시 침해에 항의한다(6%), 무관심하다(6%)로 나타났으며, 26%의 유저는 메일을 열어보나 매우 당혹감을 느낀다는 조사 결과를 내놓고 있다. According to a survey by an eMarketer agency, if an unwanted message is in the mailbox, only about 4% of the users are interested in it, and the rest is considered whether or not to read it (11%), or just delete it (56%). , (6%) and indifferent (6%), and 26% of users open the mail, but they are very embarrassed.
이메일의 마케팅 효과가 0.5%~5%에 불과하다는 것도 이런 배경에서이다.It is against this background that the marketing effectiveness of email is only 0.5% ~ 5%.
조사에서 나타나듯 스팸메일에 대한 유저들의 스트레스 반응은 상당히 극심한 것이어서, "이메일을 통해서 뉴스나 정보를 얻길 바란다"는 유저의 동의를 얻은 기업체들이 발송한 정상적인 메일마저도 열리지 못한채 삭제되는 이른바 "정보무시(Information Ignorance)" 현상마저 생기고 있다. As the survey shows, the user's stress response to spam mail is extremely severe, and so-called "ignore information", which can be deleted without opening even normal mail sent by companies that have the user's consent to "get news or information through email." Information Ignorance. "
한편, 이메일 서비스를 제공하고 있는 업체, 대표적으로 포탈업체에서는 유저에게 제공한 메일 용량의 상당부분을 스팸메일이 차지함에 따라 스토리지와 운영서버 비용, 트래픽 비용, 서비스 개발 및 운용 비용 등이 높아짐은 물론 다수의 회원들의 불만을 듣게 되는 이중고를 겪고 있다. On the other hand, companies that provide e-mail services, such as portal companies, account for a large portion of the amount of mail provided to users, resulting in higher storage and operation server costs, traffic costs, service development and operation costs, etc. I am experiencing a double hearing of complaints from many members.
이렇듯, 스팸메일에 대한 폐해와 사회적 손실은 적지 않은 상황이나, 정작 스팸메일을 근절할 근본적인 대책은 마련되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. As such, the harm and social loss of spam mails are not many, but fundamental measures to eradicate spam mails have not been prepared.
한편, 근래에는, 각종 사이트나 게시판, 메일수집로봇 프로그램을 이용하여 자신의 회원이 아닌 유저들의 이메일 주소를 비합법적으로 확보하거나, 개별 기업체가 확보하고 있는 회원들의 메일주소 또는 이들 기업과 연관되어 있는 업체로부터 인계받은 유저들의 메일 주소 등을 대량으로 확보한 이메일발송 대행업체들이 활동하고 있는데, 이러한 업체는, 광고메일 발송을 희망하는 광고주로부터, 일정비용을 결제받고, 그 댓가로서, 별도 마련된 이메일 발송프로그램을 이용, 다수의 유저들의 이메일에 대량의 광고메일을 발송해 주는 서비스를 제공하고 있다. On the other hand, in recent years, various sites, bulletin boards, and mail collecting robot programs have illegally secured e-mail addresses of users who are not their own members, or e-mail addresses of members secured by individual companies or companies associated with these companies. E-mail sending companies that have secured a large number of users' e-mail addresses, etc., which have been taken over by the company are active. These companies receive a certain fee from advertisers who wish to send advertisement mail, and in return, a separate e-mail sending program is provided. By using this, a large number of users are providing a service that sends a large amount of advertising mail to the email.
하지만, 이와 같이, 이메일 발송대행업체를 통해 발송되는 광고메일 또한 유저들의 입장에서는, 스트레스를 유발되게 하는 단순 스팸메일에 불과한 것으로, 이러한, 광고메일은 열람되지도 못한 채, 삭제처리 되는 것이 일반적인 현상이라 할 것인바, 따라서, 미미한 광고효과도 기대할 수 없다는 한계점과 스팸메일의 양산경로라는 문제점을 안고 있는 것이다.However, as such, the advertisement mail sent through the email sending agency is also a simple spam mail that causes stress for the users, and such an advertisement mail is deleted without being read and is a general phenomenon. Therefore, there is a limitation that can not expect a slight advertising effect and the problem of mass production path of spam mail.
물론, 최근에는 이메일발송대행업체들에 의해서, 이와 같이, 저조한 광고메일의 열람율을 증대시키기 위한 방안으로써, 광고메일의 발송자를 유저의 친구 또는 지인으로 위장하거나, 혹은 사실상 추첨에 의해 일부에게만 혜택이 돌아가는 경품을 걸고, 표현상으로는 "mp3 가 공짜, 지금 받아가세요" 라는 등의 제목 또는 문구를 등장시켜 유저들의 열람율을 높이는 유인책도 시도되고 있으나, 이는, 유저들에게 결코, 어필하지 못하는 방안으로써, 광고메일은 곧 스팸메일이라는 고정된 인식만을 안겨준 채, 열람율의 증대는 결코 기대 할 수 없는 근본적인 폐단을 갖고 있다 할 것이다. Of course, in recent years, by email service providers, as a way to increase the rate of poor advertisement mail viewing, disguise the sender of the advertisement mail as a friend or acquaintance of the user, or, in fact, benefit only a part by lottery. With this returning prize, the incentive to raise the users' reading rate by expressing the title or phrase "mp3 is free, get it now" has been tried, but this is a way to never appeal to users. In other words, ad mails have a fixed perception that they are spam mails, and the increase in reading rate has a fundamental closure that can never be expected.
그러나, "보다 많은 사람들에게 큰 비용을 들이지 않고도 자신들의 상품이나 회사를 알릴 수 있다는 점"을 포기할 수 없는 기업들이 매우 많이 존재하는 현실 때문에 이메일 발송대행업체가 존재하는 것이며, 향후에도 존재할 가능성이 매우 높다 할 것이다. However, due to the reality that there are so many companies that can't give up "you can advertise their products or companies without paying more people," the email delivery agency exists and is likely to exist in the future. Will do high.
따라서, 결과적으로 종래의 이메일 서비스는, 포탈 운영자나 유저, 기업들 모두에게 효과적이고, 필수적인 서비스임에도 불구하고, 그 발송된 메일이 스팸메일로 취급되어 열람되지도 못한 채 삭제되어지는 경우가 대다수이고, 이는 이메일 발송대행업체를 이용하는 경우라도, 광고주들이 지불하는 비용에 비해 효과는 미미한 현상을 낳고 있으며, 유저들은, 커뮤니케이션 통로여야 할 각종 인터넷 포털사이트의 보유 이메일이 스팸메일의 온상이 됨에 따라 극심한 스트레스를 받고 있는 현실인바; Therefore, as a result, the conventional e-mail service is an effective and essential service for all portal operators, users, and enterprises, but in most cases, the e-mail sent is deleted without being viewed as spam mail. This is a slight effect compared to the costs paid by advertisers, even if they use an email service provider, and users feel extreme stress as emails of various Internet portal sites, which should be communication channels, become hotbeds of spam mails. In reality is receiving;
특히, 각 포털사이트는 메일용량의 확보를 위해 많은 비용과 노력을 기울임에도 불구하고, 아무런 보상이나 격려를 받고 있지 못한 채, 유저들의 불만에 시달리는 등, 총체적인 구조적 난맥상을 드러내고 있는 실정이었다.In particular, despite the cost and effort to secure the mail capacity, each portal site was exposed to the overall structural disorder, such as suffering complaints from users without any compensation or encouragement.
따라서, 결론적으로 살펴볼 때, 비록, 그것이 합법적인 방법 및 절차를 통해 확보한 이메일 주소라 할지라도로, 상대방이 그때 그때 허락하거나, 정상적으로 요청하지도 않은 광고성 메일을 무단으로 발송하는 것은, 그들에게, 상당한 폐를 끼치는 행위임을 결코 부정할수 없다 할 것이다. Therefore, in conclusion, even if it is an e-mail address obtained through legitimate methods and procedures, unauthorized sending of an e-mail that the other party then permitted or did not normally request, was a significant waste to them. It can never be denied that acts.
물론, 기업의 입장에서는 보다 많은 사람들에게 자신의 상품이나 브랜드를 알리고 싶겠지만, 그것이 상대방에게 스트레스를 주는 행위임을 인식하고 있다면, 그 메일을 열람한 사람들 위해 어떠한 형태로든, 감사의 마음 내지 그에 상응하는 보상의 제공이 선행되야 할 것으로, 이에, 이러한 감사의 마음 내지 그에 상응하는 보상 혜택을 통해, 기업 광고메일의 열람율을 증대시키고, 스펨메일에 의한 유저의 스트레스를 해소시킬수 있는, 새로운 이메일 서비스의 개발을 절실한 해결과제로 남게하는 것이다.Of course, a company might want to inform more people about its product or brand, but if it recognizes that it is a stressful act, it will in some way give thanks or correspondence for those who read the mail. Providing rewards should be preceded by a new e-mail service that can increase the rate of reading of corporate advertisement mails and relieve the stress of users by spam mails through such appreciation and corresponding reward benefits. It is to leave development as an urgent task.
따라서, 본 발명은 열람율이 극히 저조한 종래 이메일 서비스의 제반적인 문제점을 해결하고자 창안된 것으로;Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the general problems of the conventional e-mail service with a very low reading rate;

도 5는 본 발명에 따른 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 인센티브 제공방법의 전체 개념도이고, 도 6은 본 발명에 따른 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 인센티브 제공방법 순서도로서, 그 일련의 방법적 구성을 살펴보면;5 is a conceptual diagram of a method for providing an incentive for improving an email reading rate according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing an incentive for improving an email reading rate according to the present invention.
이는, 보상물품 구매단계(S1)와, 인센티브 아이콘 생성단계(S2)와, 수신회원 가입단계(S3)와, 광고계약 체결단계(S4)와, 광고메일 발송단계(S5)와, 인센티브 아이콘 적립단계(S6)와, 적립아이콘 사용단계(S7)와, 열람보고서 작성단계(S8)를 통해 이루어진다.This is, reward item purchase step (S1), incentive icon generation step (S2), receiving member sign-up step (S3), advertising contract conclusion step (S4), advertising mail sending step (S5), incentive icon earning Step (S6), earning icon using step (S7), and through the reading report creation step (S8) is made.
여기서, 먼저, 상기 보상물품 구매단계(S1)는, 인터넷 상에, 기업 광고메일 발송서비스를 제공하는 서비스 운영자 서버(1)를 개설한 후, 그 개설된 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와, 각종 물품 및 서비스 제공을 희망하는 가맹점 서버(2)를 자동정보처리부(11)를 통해 온라인 링크연결 되게 한 후, 그 가맹점 서버(2)를 통해 판매되는 다수종류의 물품 중, 유저에게 인센티브 아이콘으로 제공할 물품종류와 수량을 선택하여, 온라인 구매계약을 체결하는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.Here, first, the reward item purchase step (S1), after opening the service operator server (1) for providing a corporate advertising mail sending service on the Internet, the service operator server (1) and the various items of the opened And the merchant server 2 that wishes to provide a service to the online link through the automatic information processing unit 11, and then, among the various types of goods sold through the merchant server 2, to be provided as an incentive icon to the user. It is desirable to select the type and quantity of goods, and to make it through the process of making an online purchase contract.
예컨대, 가맹점 서버가 피자 판매점이고, 피자 1판당 일반 판매가격이 1만원일 경우, 100판 이상(임의적인 설정수량)의 대량구매를 전제 조건으로 하여, 일반 피자 판매가격 대비, 일정비율(%) 할인된 가격으로, 구매계약을 체결되도록 하고, 또 다르게, 가맹점 서버가 서비스 업종인 피부미용 관리샵이고, 피부관리 1회당 이용가격이 3만원일 경우, 100회 이상(임의적인 설정횟수) 사용권의 대량구매를 전제조건으로 하여, 일반 피부관리 이용가격 대비, 일정비율(%) 할인된 가격으로 구매계약을 체결하게 되는 것이다.For example, if the merchant server is a pizza store and the general selling price is 10,000 won per pizza plate, a certain percentage (%) of the normal pizza selling price on the premise that a large quantity of 100 plates or more (arbitrarily set quantity) is premised. At a discounted price, make a purchase contract. Alternatively, if the merchant server is a skin care management shop, which is a service industry, and the skin care service price is 30,000 won, it is necessary to use the license more than 100 times. Under the premise of mass purchasing, the contract will be concluded at a discounted rate (%) compared to general skin care use price.
이때, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와 온라인으로 링크 연결되는 가맹점 서버(2)는, 일반 소비자에게 인지도 및 신뢰성이 이미 검증되어 있는, 물품 또는 서비스 업체를 대상으로 제한을 두는 것이다.At this time, the merchant server 2 which is connected to the service operator server 1 online is limited to goods or service companies whose recognition and reliability have already been verified by the general consumer.
또한, 일반소비자에게 인지도는 미약하지만, 본 발명에 따른 서비스 운영자 서버(1)를 통해 물품의 판매 및 서비스 제공을 희망하는 가맹점 서버(2)가 있을 경우, 그 가맹점 서버(2)는 온라인 링크연결을 통해 서비스 운영자 서버(1)에 물품판매 및 서비스 제공 의사를 표현하게 되며, 이러한 가맹점 서버(2)의 표현(요청)이 있을 경우, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)는 내부적으로 규정된 심사과정을 통해 가맹점 서버(2)의 물품 및 서비스를 선택 또는 제한하게 된다.In addition, although the general consumer is less aware, if there is a merchant server (2) wishing to sell goods and provide services through the service operator server (1) according to the present invention, the merchant server (2) is connected to the online link Through the service operator server (1) to express the intention to sell goods and provide services, if there is an expression (request) of the merchant server (2), the service operator server (1) through the internally defined audit process The goods and services of the affiliated store server 2 are selected or restricted.
또한, 상기 인센티브 아이콘 생성단계(S2)는, 전술한 보상물품 구매단계(S1)를 통해 계약체결된 보상물품을, 아이콘 생성부(12)의 아이콘 설정모드(121)를 통해, 현물 교환이 가능한 적립식 소액 분할형태의 인센티브 아이콘으로 생성하고, 이와 같이, 생성된 인센티브 아이콘을, 아이콘 분배모드(122)를 통해 물품(서비스)명(현물교환 및 사용이 가능한 물품 및 서비스명)과 가격별 표시, 그리고, 그에 따른 수량 정보를 갖는 데이터베이스로 저장하며, 재차, 상기 데이터베이스로 저장된 인센티브 아이콘을 아이콘 관리모드(123)를 통해 통합 관리되도록 함이 바람직하다.In addition, the incentive icon generation step (S2), the item can be exchanged in kind through the icon setting mode 121 of the icon generation unit 12, the compensation goods contracted through the above-described compensation item purchasing step (S1) Generate incentive icons in the form of small-sized savings, and display the generated incentive icons by the item (service) name (product and service name that can be exchanged and used) and price through the icon distribution mode 122, The incentive icon stored in the database may be stored in the database having the corresponding quantity information. The incentive icon stored in the database may be integrated and managed through the icon management mode 123.
즉, 이를 좀 더 구체적인 예로서 설명하면, 보상물품 구매단계를 통해 계약체결된 보상물품이 피자이고, 그 구매총량이 100개이며, 구매한 피자 1판당 가격이 1만원일 경우, 총 구매물품의 비용은 100만원에 해당하는 것으로, 이에, 피자 구매총액 100만원을, 아이콘 설정모드(121)를 통해 액면가 100원인 소액의 인센티브 아이콘으로 생성하여, 피자 구매 총액 100만원에 해당하는, 인센티브 아이콘 1만개를 생성한다.In other words, if this is described as a more specific example, if the reward items contracted through the rewards item purchase step is pizza, the total amount of purchase is 100, and the price of each pizza plate purchased is 10,000 won, The cost corresponds to one million won, so that the total amount of pizza purchases of one million won is generated as a small incentive icon with a face value of 100 won through the icon setting mode 121, and 10,000 incentive icons corresponding to one million won of pizza purchase amount. Create
이어, 아이콘 분배모드(122)를 통해, 상기 생성된 아이콘 1만개에 각각 현물교환이 가능한 해당 물품명(피자)과, 개당 적립 액면가(100원)를 표시하여, 다른 보상물품과 혼동되지 않도록 데이터베이스화 하여 저장하고, 이와 같이, 저장된 인센티브 아이콘을 아이콘 관리모드(123)를 통해 관리되게 하는 것이다.Subsequently, the icon distribution mode 122 displays the corresponding item name (pizza) and the face value (100 won) that can be exchanged in kind on each of the generated icons in 10,000, so as not to be confused with other compensation items. In this way, the stored incentive icon is managed through the icon management mode 123.
이때, 생성되는 인센티브 아이콘은, 그 보상되는 상품종류에 따라 개별 단가에 차등을 주어, 다른 보상물품과 혼동되지 않게 함은 물론, 그 물품 종류별 가격 차이에 따라 인센티브 아이콘의 적립수량 또한 다르게 할 수 있는 것으로, 예컨대, 보상물품이 엠피쓰리(MP3) 이고, 그 구매총량이 10개이며, 구매한 엠피쓰리(MP3) 1개당 5만원일 경우, 총 구매물품의 비용은 50만원에 해당하는 것으로, 이에, 엠피쓰리(MP3) 구매총액 50만원을 아이콘 설정모드(121)를 통해 액면가 200원인 소액의 인센티브 아이콘으로 생성하여, 엠피쓰리(MP3) 구매 총액 50만원에 해당하는, 인센티브 아이콘 2,500개를 생성되게 하는 방법 등을 취하게 하는 것이다.In this case, the generated incentive icon is given a difference in the individual unit price according to the type of the rewarded product, so as not to be confused with other rewarded goods, and the amount of incentive icon earned also varies according to the price difference of the type of the item. For example, if the compensation item is MP3 (MP3), the total purchase amount is 10, and the 50,000 MP3 per MP3 (MP3) purchased, the total cost of the purchased product is equivalent to 500,000 won, By creating a small incentive icon with a face value of 200 won through the icon setting mode 121, a total of 500,000 MP3 purchases (MP3) is generated, and 2,500 incentive icons corresponding to 500,000 won of MP3 purchases are generated. How to get drunk.
또한, 상기 수신회원 가입단계(S3)는, 본 발명에 따른 기업 광고메일의 수신자를 선정하는 과정으로서, 이에, 이와 같은, 수신회원 가입단계(S3)는, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)의 자동정보처리부(11)를 매개체로 하여, 불특정 다수의 인터넷 사용자, 즉, 특정 포털사이트에 회원으로 가입되어 있거나, 혹은, 본 발명의 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로부터 메일서비스를 제공받기 위해 접속을 시도하는 각 개인 웹 서버 등을 유저 서버(4)로 하여, 이들을, 온라인 연결시키고, 이어, 상기 온라인을 통한 유저서버(4)의 광고메일(열람시 인센티브가 제공되는) 수신허락 신청에 따라, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)의, 적립프로그램 제공부(14)를 통해, 인센티브 아이콘 적립에 필요한, 아이콘 관리프로그램을 전송하여, 그 전송된 아이콘 관리프로그램을 유저서버(4)의 아이콘 편지함에 설치되게 하는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.In addition, the receiving member joining step (S3) is a process of selecting a recipient of the corporate advertisement mail according to the present invention, and thus, the receiving member joining step (S3), the automatic information of the service operator server (1) Through the processing unit 11, each of the unspecified Internet users, that is, a member of a specific portal site, or who attempts to access a mail service from the service operator server 1 of the present invention, is attempted. Using a personal web server or the like as the user server 4, these are connected online, and then the service operator server in accordance with the application for receiving the advertisement mail (incentive provided upon reading) of the user server 4 via the online. Through (1), through the earning program providing unit 14, the icon management program required for the incentive icon is transferred, and the transferred icon management program is installed in the icon mailbox of the user server (4). It is desirable to make it through the process of making it.
예컨대, 인터넷을 통해 광고메일 수신 서비스를 허락할 경우, 그 댓가로서 현물 교환이 가능한 분할 적립식 인센티브 아이콘을 제공할 것이라는 정보를 알려주고, 그러한, 정보로서, 유저서버(4)가 광고메일 수신 서비스를 허락, 신청할 경우, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)는, 그 신청대상인 유저 서버(4)로부터, 이메일 주소, 성별, 나이, 이름, 관심분야 등에 관한 신상정보와 함께, 이러한 광고메일 수신서버를 통해, 제공받고 싶은 인센티브 아이콘을 주요 순위별 목록으로 복수 이상 선택하도록 하여, 이를 회원가입 조건으로 제공받게 되는 것이며, 이러한, 정보를 제공받은 서비스 운영자 서버(1)는, 상기 회원가입 조건으로 제공받은 유저 서버(4)의 정보를 회원 데이터베이스 제공부(16)에 저장되게 한 후, 아이디 및 패스워드 입력에 의해 열람 인센티브가 제공되는 광고메일을 차별화된 형태로 수신가능하게 하고, 아울러, 그 광고메일에 첨부된 인센티브 아이콘을 필요에 따라 적립, 이용할 수 있는, 별도의 아이콘 관리프로그램을 유저서버에 전송하여, 도 4로 도시된 바와 같은, 웹구성의 아이콘 편지함을 설치되게 하는 것이다.For example, in the case of allowing the advertisement mail receiving service through the Internet, the information will be provided in exchange for an incentive icon which can be exchanged in kind in exchange for such information. As such information, the user server 4 allows the advertisement mail receiving service. In the case of application, the service operator server 1 receives the information from the user server 4, which is the subject of the application, through the advertisement mail receiving server together with personal information about the email address, gender, age, name, interests, etc. By selecting a plurality of incentive icons to be listed in the main ranking, and to be provided as a subscription condition, such a service operator server (1), the information provided, the user server (4) provided under the subscription conditions ) Information is stored in the member database providing unit 16, and then the reading incentive is provided by inputting an ID and password. It is possible to receive the advertisement mail in a differentiated form, and also, by sending a separate icon management program, which can be accumulated and used as necessary incentive icons attached to the advertisement mail to the user server, shown in Figure 4 As described above, an icon mailbox of a web configuration is installed.
또한, 상기 광고계약 체결단계(S4)는, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와, 광고메일 발송을 희망하는 광고주 서버(3)를 자동정보처리부(11)에 의해 링크되게 하고, 그 링크된 광고주 서버(3)로 부터, 인센티브 아이콘을 광고메일에 첨부해 줄 것을 요청받는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.In addition, the advertisement contract conclusion step (S4), the service operator server 1, and the advertiser server 3 to send the advertisement mail to be linked by the automatic information processing unit 11, the linked advertiser server ( From 3), it is desirable to make the incentive icon attached to the advertisement mail.
예컨대, 광고메일 발송을 희망하는 광고주 서버(3)가 보험상품을 판매하는 보험사 사이트일 경우, 그 해당 광고주 서버(3)는, 자사의 상품을 안내하는 광고메일의 문안을 작성하고, 그 작성된 광고메일의 발송수량을 결정하며, 재차, 그 광고메일에 첨부할 인센티브 아이콘을 결정하여, 그 정보를 서비스 운영자 서버(1)에 제공하게 되는 것이다.For example, when the advertiser server 3 wishing to send an advertisement mail is an insurance company site selling insurance products, the advertiser server 3 creates a text of an advertisement mail guiding its products, and the created advertisement. The amount of mail to be sent is determined, and again, an incentive icon to be attached to the advertisement mail is provided, and the information is provided to the service operator server 1.
이때, 상기 광고메일에 첨부할 인센티브 아이콘은, 전술한 인센티브 아이콘 생성단계(S2)를 통해 서비스 운영자 서버(1)가 보유하고 있는 인센티브 아이콘을 선택되게 하는 것인 바, 즉, 예를 들어, 광고주 서버(3)가, 광고메일의 발송수량을 500개로 결정하고, 그 광고메일에 첨부할 인센티브 아이콘을 액면가 100원에 해당되는 피자로 결정하였을 경우, 광고주 서버(3)는 액면가 100원에 해당하는 피자 인센티브 아이콘 500개의 비용, 5만원과 함께, 광고메일 발송에 따른 일정액의 약정 서비스 비용을 추가로 서비스 운영자 서버(1)에 제공하게 되는 것이다. In this case, the incentive icon to be attached to the advertisement mail is to select the incentive icon held by the service operator server 1 through the above-described incentive icon generation step (S2), that is, for example, an advertiser. If the server 3 determines the number of advertisement mails to be sent to 500, and the incentive icon to be attached to the advertisement mail is pizza corresponding to the face value of 100 won, the advertiser server 3 corresponds to the face value of 100 won. In addition to the cost of 500 pizza incentive icons and 50,000 won, a certain amount of contracted service costs in accordance with the advertisement mail is additionally provided to the service operator server 1.
또한, 상기 광고메일 발송단계(S5)는, 전술한 광고계약 체결이 이루어질 경우, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로 하여금, 인센티브가 제공되는 광고메일 수신을 허락한 회원, 즉, 유저 서버(4)의 데이터베이스를 추출토록 하고, 그 추출된 유저 서버(4)에, 인센티브 아이콘이 첨부된 광고메일을 발송하는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.In addition, the advertisement mail sending step (S5), when the above-mentioned advertising contract is concluded, the service operator server 1 of the member, that is, the user server 4, which allows incentives to receive the advertisement mail is provided Preferably, the database is extracted, and the extracted user server 4 is made through a process of sending an advertisement mail with an incentive icon attached thereto.
예컨대, 500건의 광고메일 발송을 희망하는 광고주 서버(3)가 있을 경우, 먼저, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)는 수신회원 가입단계(S3)를 통해 확보하고 있는 유저서버(4)의 데이터 정보를 추출하여, 이를, 광고주 서버(3)에 제공하게 되는 것이며, 이에, 광고주 서버(3)는 상기 제공된 유저 서버(4)의 데이터 정보를 통해 성별, 연령, 관심분야 등의 분류로써, 자신들이 희망하는 유저 서버(4)를 선택하여, 이를, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)에 전달하게 되고, 이러한, 과정을 통해 선택된 유저 서버(4)를 타킷으로, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)는 메일발송 처리부(16)를 통해 인센티브 아이콘이 첨부된 광고메일을 전송하게 되는 것이다. For example, if there is an advertiser server 3 wishing to send 500 advertisement mails, first, the service operator server 1 extracts data information of the user server 4 secured through the receiving member registration step S3. Thus, it is provided to the advertiser server (3), the advertiser server (3) through the data information of the provided user server (4) by the classification of gender, age, interests, etc. The user server 4 is selected and delivered to the service operator server 1, and the user server 4 selected through the process is targeted, and the service operator server 1 transmits the mail sending processor 16. Will send an ad mail with the incentive icon attached.
이때, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로부터, 광고주 서버(3)에 제공되는, 유저 서버(4)의 데이터 정보는, 회원으로 가입된 유저 서버(4)의 개별 신상목록이 아니라, 회원으로 가입된 유저 서버(4)의 성별 분포, 연령별 분포, 관심분야별 분포 등의 포괄적 정보에 해당되는 것으로, 이에, 광고주 서버(3)는, 이와 같은, 분포별 정보로써, 자신이 희망하는 유저 서버(4) 군을 선택하게 되는 것이다. At this time, the data information of the user server 4, which is provided from the service operator server 1 to the advertiser server 3, is not an individual personal list of the user server 4 subscribed as a member, but a user who is subscribed as a member. It corresponds to comprehensive information such as gender distribution, age distribution, interest distribution, etc. of the server 4, and thus, the advertiser server 3, as the distribution information, desires the user server 4 group. Will be selected.
또한, 상기 인센티브 아이콘 적립단계(S6)는, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로부터 전송된 광고메일을 유저서버(4)의 아이콘 편지함(41)에 수신되게 하고, 그 수신된 광고메일의 열람을 통해 첨부된 인센티브 아이콘을 아이콘 관리프로그램을 통해 획득, 적립, 관리하는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.In addition, the incentive icon accumulating step (S6), the advertisement mail sent from the service operator server (1) is received in the icon mailbox 41 of the user server 4, and attached through the reading of the received advertisement mail It is desirable to make the incentive icon through the process of acquiring, accumulating and managing the icon through an icon management program.
예컨대, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로 부터 인센티브 아이콘이 첨부된 광고메일이 수신될 경우, 유저 서버(4)는, 아이콘 편지함(41)의 수신 아이콘 편집모드(13)를 통해 광고메일의 타이틀과, 그 광고메일에 첨부된 인센티브 아이콘의 정보(보상물품명 및 액면가)를 확인하여, 열람 또는 삭제여부를 선택하게 되는 것이고, 이러한, 확인절차를 통해 수신된 광고메일을 열람하게 될 경우, 그 광고메일에 첨부된 인센티브 아이콘은 수신아이콘 적립모드(14)를 통해, 물품 목록별로 분리되어, 적립데이터로 저장되는 것이다.For example, when an advertisement mail with an incentive icon is received from the service operator server 1, the user server 4 may display the title of the advertisement mail through the reception icon edit mode 13 of the icon mailbox 41, By checking the information of the incentive icon (compensation item name and face value) attached to the advertisement mail, the user can select whether to view or delete it, and when the advertisement mail received through the confirmation procedure is read, The attached incentive icon is divided into the item list through the receive icon earning mode 14, and is stored as earned data.
이때, 인센티브 아이콘의 적립단계(S6)와는 별개로써, 수신, 열람된 광고메일에 유용한 정보가 있을 경우, 유저 서버(4)는, 광고주 사이트 링크모드(15)를 통해, 광고메일의 주체인 광고주 서버(3)에 직접 링크 연결하여, 필요한 세부정보를 더 획득하게 되는 것으로, 이와 같이, 광고메일을 통해 유저 서버(4)가 광고주 서버(3)에 직접 링크연결을 시도할 경우, 광고주 서버(3)는, 광고메일 열람 성공 및 유저의 방문 유인에 따른 소개비 명목으로, 별도의 약정된 비용을 서비스 운영자 서버(1)에 더 지급하게 되는 것이다.In this case, apart from the earning step (S6) of the incentive icon, if there is useful information in the received and viewed advertising mail, the user server 4, through the advertiser site link mode 15, the advertiser is the subject of the advertising mail By linking directly to the server 3, the necessary details are obtained. In this way, when the user server 4 attempts to link directly to the advertiser server 3 through the advertisement mail, the advertiser server ( 3), in the name of the introduction fee according to the success of the advertisement mail reading and the incentive of the visit of the user, a separate contracted fee is further paid to the service operator server 1.
또한, 상기 인센티브 아이콘 사용단계(S7)는, 광고메일 열람을 통해 적립한 인센티브 아이콘을 유저 서버(4)의 필요에 따라, 사용하는 과정으로서, 이와 같은, 인센티브 아이콘의 사용은, 아이콘 쇼핑몰 링크모드(16)를 통해 별도 운영되는 아이콘 쇼핑몰로 링크되도록 하여, 해당 현물로 교환하거나, 또는, 일정 액수(적립 보유하고 있는 인센티브 아이콘의 액면가 합산)가 할인된 형태로서, 현물 구매를 가능하게 함은 물론, 아이콘장터 링크 모드(415)를 통해, 별도 마련된 인센티브 장터에 접속되게 하여, 적립된 인센티브 아이콘의 교환 및 양도, 증여 등을 가능하게 하는 것이다. In addition, the step of using the incentive icon (S7) is a process of using the incentive icon earned through the reading of the advertisement mail as needed by the user server 4, and the use of the incentive icon is an icon shopping mall link mode. By linking to the icon shopping mall that is operated separately through (16), the item can be exchanged for the spot or a certain amount (the face value of the incentive icons that have been accumulated) is discounted, and the spot can be purchased. Through the icon marketplace link mode 415, the incentive marketplace may be connected to a separately provided incentive marketplace, thereby enabling exchange, transfer, and donation of the accumulated incentive icon.
예컨대, 적립된 인센티브 아이콘이, 시중가격 1만원에 해당하는 피자를 보상받을 수 있는 아이콘이고, 현재, 유저 서버(4)가 적립하고 있는 인센티브 아이콘이 그러한, 피자를 보상받을 수 있는 액면가 100원 짜리 아이콘, 20개일 경우, 유저 서버(4)는 피자 인센티브 아이콘 20개에 해당하는 가치인, 20%의 할인혜택을 통해 피자를 구입하게 되는 것이며, 이러한, 방식으로써, 적립된 피자 인센티브 아이콘이 50개일 경우에는, 50%의 할인혜택을, 또 다르게, 적립된 피자 인센티브 아이콘이 100개일 경우에는, 100% 무료교환이 가능한 형태를 취하는 것이다. For example, the accumulated incentive icon is an icon that can be rewarded with a pizza corresponding to a market price of 10,000 won, and at present, an incentive icon that the user server 4 accumulates is 100 denominations worth of such pizza. In the case of 20 icons, the user server 4 will purchase a pizza through a 20% discount, which is the value of 20 pizza incentive icons. In the case of a 50% discount, or alternatively, in the case of 100 earned pizza incentive icons, 100% free exchange is possible.
끝으로, 상기 열람보고서 작성단계(S7)는, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로부터 발송된 광고메일이, 유저서버(4)의 아이콘 편지함(41)에 수신된 후, 확인 거부 등으로 열람되지 못한 채, 그대로 삭제되거나, 혹은 일정기간(서비스 운영자 서버와 유저서버 사이에 협의된 설정기간) 열람되지 못한 상태가 지속될 경우, 그 광고메일에 첨부된 인센티브 아이콘을 서비스 운영자 서버(1)의 아이콘 관리모드(123)를 통해 파악되게 하여, 이를 하나의 열람율 데이터로 저장하고, 이와 같이, 저장된 열람율 데이터를, 광고주 서버(3)로 전송하여, 해당, 광고주 서버(3)로 하여금, 광고메일 수신율을 확인 가능하도록 하며, 재차, 상기 삭제되거나, 열람되지 못한 광고메일에 첨부되어 있는 인센티브 아이콘은 서비스 운영자 서버(1)의 아이콘 관리모드(123)로 재 수거하여, 또 다른 광고메일 발송 시, 첨부, 사용되도록 하는 과정을 통해 이루어지도록 함이 바람직하다.Finally, the reading report preparation step (S7), after the advertisement mail sent from the service operator server 1 is received in the icon mailbox 41 of the user server 4, and is not browsed by the refusal of confirmation, etc. If it is deleted as it is, or if it remains unseen for a certain period of time (a set period negotiated between the service operator server and the user server), the incentive icon attached to the advertisement mail is displayed in the icon management mode of the service operator server 1 ( 123, and stores this as one view rate data, and transmits the stored view rate data to the advertiser server 3 so that the advertiser server 3 receives the advertisement mail receiving rate. The incentive icon attached to the deleted or unviewed advertisement mail is collected again in the icon management mode 123 of the service operator server 1, and another When sending an e-mail, it is desirable to make it through the process of attachment and use.
이때, 인센티브 아이콘이 수거된 비열람 광고메일은, 별도의 프로그램 설정에 의해, 아이콘 편지함에서, 스펨 편지함으로 이동되도록 하는 것이다.At this time, the non-reading advertisement mail in which the incentive icon is collected is to be moved from the icon mailbox to the spam mailbox by a separate program setting.
한편, 전술한, 일련의 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 인센티브 서비스를 제공함에 있어, 상기 광고메일에 첨부되는 인센티브 아이콘은, 단순히, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와 가맹점 서버(2) 사이에 구매계약 체결된 물품(서비스)에 한정되는 것이 아니라, 광고주 서버(3)가 취급하는 물품(서비스)을, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와의 별도 계약관계에 의해 인센티브 아이콘으로 생성하여, 자신들(광고주 서버)의 광고메일에 자신들의 물품을 인센티브 아이콘으로 제공하여, 직접적인 보상 혜택을 부여할 수 있는 것으로, 이 또한 본 발명의 범주에서 벗어나는 것은 아니다.On the other hand, in providing the incentive service for the series of e-mail reading rate described above, the incentive icon attached to the advertisement mail, simply, the purchase contract between the service operator server 1 and the merchant server (2) It is not limited to goods (services), but the goods (services) handled by the advertiser server 3 are generated as incentive icons by a separate contract relationship with the service operator server 1, and the advertisement mails of the clients (advertiser servers) are generated. It is possible to provide their reward as an incentive icon, to give a direct compensation benefit, which is also not departing from the scope of the present invention.
또한, 전술한, 일련의 이메일 열람율 증진을 위한 인센티브 서비스를 제공함에 있어, 수신된 광고메일의 열람 댓가로, 인센티브 아이콘을 적립, 사용하게 되는 유저 서버(4)는, 그 적립되는 인센티브 아이콘의 일부를 메일서비스 이용 명목으로, 서비스 운영자 서버에 서비스 이용료 형태로 지급하게 되는 것이다.In addition, in providing the above-described incentive service for enhancing the e-mail reading rate, the user server 4 which accumulates and uses the incentive icon in exchange for the received e-mail reading, Some will be paid in the form of mail service usage, and in the form of a service fee to the service operator server.
예컨대, 유저서버가 수신된 광고메일을 열람하여, 인센티브 아이콘 10개를 획득 하였을 경우, 그 10번째 획득한 인센티브 아이콘은, 서비스 운영자 서버에 서비스 이용료 명목으로 환급되게 하는 방법 등을 취하게 할 수 있는 것으로, 이는, 수신회원 가입단계(S3)시, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)와, 유저서버(4)와의 협의 하에 가변적으로 적용하게 되는 것이며, 이러한, 서비스 방법은 단순한 수익 구조상의 문제일 뿐, 이 또한 본 발명의 범주에서 벗어나는 것은 아니다. For example, when the user server browses the received advertisement mail and acquires ten incentive icons, the tenth acquired incentive icon may cause the service operator server to take a method of refunding the service fee in the name of the service fee. This is to be applied variably in consultation with the service operator server 1 and the user server 4 in the receiving member sign-up step (S3), such a service method is merely a problem of profit structure. It is also not intended to be outside the scope of the present invention.
한편, 전술한 바와 같은, 시스템 및 일련의 서비스 제공단계를 통해 이루어지는 본 발명은, 인센티브 아이콘이 첨부된 광고메일을 수신함에 있어, 서비스 운영자 서버(1)로부터 프로그램화되어 제공되는, 별도의 아이콘 편지함(41)(도 4 참조)을 이용하는 것에 한정되는 것은 아니며, 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 통상의 메일함에, 아이콘 메일 수신함 모드를 추가 구성되게 하여, 일반 메일은 통상의 받은 편지함에, 그리고, 인센티브 아이콘이 첨부된 광고메일은 그 표제에 인센티브가 있음을 표시한 형태(현물교환이 가능한 물품명 및 액면가가 표시된 마크 등)로서, 아이콘 메일 수신함 모드를 통해 수신되도록 하여, 이들을 통합 관리할 수 있는 것으로, 이 또한 본 발명의 범주에서 벗어나는 것은 아니다. On the other hand, the present invention made through the system and a series of service providing steps, as described above, in receiving an advertisement mail with an incentive icon, a separate icon mailbox, which is programmed and provided from the service operator server 1 (41) (see FIG. 4), the icon mail inbox mode is additionally configured by using a general mail box that is generally used, so that a normal mail is placed in a normal inbox and an incentive icon.
