The present invention relates to a spam message management system, and more particularly, to a spam message management system and method for providing a service to systematically distinguish spam messages among short messages, and a mobile communication terminal therefor.

Currently, short messages that are not desired or requested by the mobile terminal user among the short messages received by the mobile communication terminal are classified as spam messages, and most of these spam messages are deleted by the receiver due to their characteristics.

Since commercial spam messages are often sent unilaterally and indiscriminately to a large number of unspecified users, the inconvenience of the mobile communication terminal users is increasing.

In order to solve this problem, the operator related to the short message service may identify whether the terminal message of the short message or the content of the short message matches the originating terminal number classified as a spam message and a specific string to distinguish the spam message. The method is being applied. Here, the calling party terminal number and the specific character string for classification as spam messages are registered directly by the user.

However, since the number of commercial spam messages increases exponentially, there is a limit in whether a user can determine whether spam is registered in each case and register as a spam message classification condition.

In addition, since most commercial spam messages do not indicate the calling party number or use a randomly changed number, the method of classifying spam messages based on the calling party number is ineffective.

In addition, a method of classifying a message to be classified as a spam message and a short message content and classifying the message as a spam message may occur when a user who does not have expertise in the spam message registers a string for personal use. Considering that spacing is not applied when sending / receiving, when classifying spam messages based on user-registered strings, there may be side effects that are classified as spam messages and are not delivered to users even though they are short messages that need to be processed urgently. .

Accordingly, text message service operators have been searching for a more systematic method of classifying spam messages.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and classifies a spam message based on a predetermined spam pattern among a plurality of short messages, and includes a spam delimiter in the short message classified as a spam message to a mobile communication terminal. The technical challenge is to provide a system and method for managing spam messages for transmission.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal for reconfirming whether a short message is classified as a spam message by comparing the short message classified as a spam message with a preset spam release pattern.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to manage spam messages in consideration of user's personal preference.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a connection relationship between a spam message management system and a communication network according to the present invention.

The spam message management system includes a short message service server 400 and a wired / wireless communication network 310 that provide a short message service such as transmitting a short message received through the mobile communication network 310 to the corresponding receiving mobile terminal 100. And a spam message management server 500 that is connected to 330 to store and manage a spam pattern for distinguishing a spam message among a plurality of short messages.

The spam message management server 500 receives and stores a plurality of spam patterns transmitted from the wired / wireless terminals 100, 210, and 230 according to an input of any one of a user or an operator, and stores a plurality of pre-stored spam each time. The pattern is sent to the short message server 400 for reference in classifying spam messages. Here, the spam pattern registered in the spam message management server 500 is preferably input by the operator in a form including any one of a calling party number, message contents, a connection URL, or a combination thereof.

The short message service server 400 stores a plurality of spam patterns transmitted from the spam message management server 500, and compares the plurality of stored spam patterns with a short message transmitted through the wired / wireless communication networks 310 and 330. Check whether it is a spam message, and if it is classified as a spam message, and transmits to the receiving side mobile communication terminal 100 including a spam delimiter indicating the spam message and the corresponding spam classification type divided into spam messages.

The spam message management server 500 and the short message service server 400 disclosed in FIG. 1 may be integrated into one configuration according to the needs of the operator.

2 is a view showing in detail the configuration of a spam message management server according to the present invention.

As shown, the spam message management server 500 uses a spam pattern registration unit 510, a spam release pattern registration unit 530, a spam pattern information management unit 550, a spam pattern information transmission unit 570, and a database 590. Include.

In more detail, the spam pattern registration unit 510 receives a plurality of spam patterns transmitted from the wired / wireless terminals 100, 210, and 230 according to an input of one of a user or an operator and stores the plurality of spam patterns in the database 590. Here, the spam pattern includes any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

The spam release pattern registration unit 530 receives the spam release pattern transmitted from the wired / wireless terminals 100, 210, and 230 according to a user's input, and stores and manages the spam release pattern in the database 590 for each user.

When the preset spam pattern transmission time arrives, the spam pattern information management unit 550 refers to the short message server 400 to refer to a plurality of spam patterns stored in the database 590 by the spam pattern registration unit 510 when classifying spam messages. Send it. Here, the spam pattern transmission time is either a time when a new spam pattern is registered or a time arbitrarily set by the operator.

The spam pattern information transmitter 570 transmits a plurality of spam patterns to the short message service server 400 according to the request of the spam pattern information manager 550.

Database 590 stores information associated with spam message management server 500.

In the detailed description of FIG. 2, the spam pattern is described using only the calling party number, the message content, the access URL, or a combination thereof as an example. However, it is possible to add an item of the spam pattern as needed by the operator.

3 is a diagram showing in detail the configuration of a short message service server according to the present invention.

As shown, the short message service server 400 includes a short message transceiving unit 410, a spam pattern information registration unit 430, a spam message filtering unit 450, and a database 470.

In more detail, the short message transmitter / receiver 410 receives a short message transmitted from the wired / wireless terminals 100, 210, and 230 through the wired / wireless communication networks 310 and 330, and receives the short message having completed the spam message checking procedure. It transmits to the corresponding receiving side mobile communication terminal 100 through the communication network (310, 330).

The spam pattern information registration unit 430 receives a plurality of spam patterns transmitted from the spam message management server 500 and stores the plurality of spam patterns in the database 470. Here, the spam pattern includes any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

When the spam message filtering unit 450 receives the short message from the short message transmitting / receiving unit 410, the spam message filtering unit 450 checks whether the spam message is a spam message by comparing the plurality of spam patterns pre-stored in the database 470, and divides the spam message into spam messages. If the message is transmitted to the receiving mobile communication terminal 100 through the short message transmitter 410, including a spam delimiter indicating the spam message and a corresponding spam classification type classified as a spam message. Here, the spam classification type includes any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

For example, when the message content of the plurality of preset spam patterns is classified as a spam message by matching the content of the received short message with each other, a spam delimiter (eg, **) and the spam classification type (for example, the message content) indicating that the message contents of the spam patterns matched and classified as spam messages are included in the header portion of the short message transmission field, and transmitted to the corresponding receiving mobile terminal 100. do.

In addition, the spam message filtering unit 450 checks whether the short message includes the calling party number, and if the short message does not include the calling party number, divides the short message into a spam message.

For example, the spam message filtering unit 450 may include only the content of the message &quot; friend and hello &quot; and the receiving party number (for example, 011-100-1000) and does not include the calling party number. If so, classify it as a spam message.

The database 470 stores information related to the short message service server 400.

4 is a view showing in detail the configuration of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As illustrated, the mobile communication terminal 100 includes a control unit 110, an input unit 120, a memory 130, a wireless communication unit 140, an output unit 150, a spam message check unit 160, and a message processing unit ( 170, the message information storage unit 180 and the spam release pattern registration unit 190.

Control unit 110 for controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal 100, input unit 120 for input control of the mobile communication terminal 100, memory 130 for storing various data, local area network or mobile Since the wireless communication unit 140 for performing wireless communication with the communication network and the output unit 150 for providing audio or visual data necessary for using a voice call service or a data service are general configurations of the mobile communication terminal, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Shall be.

When the spam message check unit 160 receives a short message including a spam delimiter and a spam classification type transmitted through the mobile communication network 310, the spam message check unit 160 compares the short message with a spam release pattern previously stored in the message information storage unit 180. By reconfirming whether or not it is a spam message, if it is classified as a non-spam message, it can be processed in the same manner as general short message processing, and if it is classified as a spam message, it is stored separately in the message information storage unit 180.

Here, the spam release pattern and the spam classification type include any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof. The spam release pattern is a pattern set by a user. For example, the spam release pattern may be a message content composed of an outgoing number and a connection URL of a specific content service server using a service or an unusual string frequently used among friends.

In addition, when the spam message checker 160 compares the short message with the spam release pattern and determines that the spam message is a spam message, the spam message checker 160 excludes other types of spam classification types except for the corresponding spam classification type in which the short message is classified as spam. The procedure for re-confirming whether the short message is a spam message is performed based on the spam classification type.

For example, the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a short message including the spam delimiter '**' and the spam classification type 'message content' together with the message content 'Hello friend' and the preset spam release pattern. As a result of comparison, when the spam release pattern does not match, the spam message check unit 160, for example, except for the message content, which is a spam classification type of the short message, sends the 'calling party number' to the mobile communication terminal 100. Check whether there is a matching number by comparing with the stored telephone number list.

If the calling party number of the short message matches any one of the phone number list stored in the mobile communication terminal 100, the spam message checker 160 classifies the short message as not a spam message. This is another process of classifying spam messages to prevent normal short messages from being classified as spam messages when the user does not consider the spacing of the messages when transmitting the messages.

The message processing unit 170 displays a short message received through the mobile communication network 310 through the screen of the mobile communication terminal 100 so that the user can check it.

The message information storage unit 180 stores a short message classified as a spam message and a spam release pattern as a reference for classifying the spam message.

The spam release pattern registration unit 190 stores the spam release pattern received in response to a user input in the message information storage unit 180.

For example, the user checks a short message classified as a spam message stored separately in the message information storage unit 180, and then uses a separate key or keypad for registering a spam release pattern provided in the mobile communication terminal 100. The short message is registered as a spam release pattern by selecting a specific key provided on the screen.

In the detailed description of FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 100 receives only a short message classified as a spam message as an example, but the mobile communication terminal 100 also receives a normal short message, and in this case, a general short message processing procedure. Perform

5 is a flowchart illustrating a spam pattern registration method according to the present invention, a case in which the spam message management server 500 of FIG. 2 registers a spam pattern will be described as an example.

First, the spam pattern registration unit 510 of the spam message management server 500 receives a plurality of spam patterns transmitted from the wired / wireless terminals 100, 210, and 230 according to an input of a user or an operator and stores them in a database. (S101). Here, the spam pattern includes any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

Subsequently, when a predetermined spam pattern transmission time arrives (S103), the spam pattern information manager 550 may refer to a plurality of spam patterns stored in the database 590 by the spam pattern registerer 510 when classifying spam messages. The information transmission unit 570 transmits to the short message server 400 (S105). Here, the spam pattern transmission time is either a time when a new spam pattern is registered or a time arbitrarily set by an operator.

On the other hand, when the result of step S103 is not the spam transmission time, the spam message management server 500 repeats the operation after step S101.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a spam message filtering method in a short message service server according to the present invention.

The spam pattern information registration unit 430 of the short message service server 400 illustrated in FIG. 6 receives a spam pattern transmitted from the spam message management server 500 at a predetermined time and stores the spam pattern in the database 470.

First, when the short message service server 400 receives the short message transmitted through the wired / wireless communication networks 310 and 330 (S201), the short message service server 400 checks whether or not the spam message is compared with a plurality of pre-stored spam patterns (S203). .

Here, the short message service server 400 further performs a procedure for checking whether the calling party number of the short message exists and, if the calling party number does not exist, divides the short message into a spam message.

As a result of the checking in step S203, when the short message is classified as a spam message, the spam message filtering unit 450 includes a spam delimiter indicating that the message is a spam message and a corresponding spam classification type divided into spam messages. Through the transmission to the receiving side mobile communication terminal 100 (S205, S207).

Here, the spam pattern and the spam classification type include any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

If the short message and the spam pattern do not match, the short message service server 400 performs the same process as the normal short message transmission process.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a spam message filtering method in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. A mobile communication terminal receives only a short message classified as a spam message by a short message service server. do.

The short message service server 400 includes a spam delimiter and a spam classification type when transmitting a short message classified as a spam message.

First, the mobile terminal 100 stores a spam release pattern, which is a standard for classifying spam messages, in the message information storage unit 180.

When the spam message check unit 160 of the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a short message including a spam delimiter and a spam classification type transmitted through the mobile communication network 310 (S301), the spam message checker 160 compares the previously stored spam release pattern. Recheck whether it is a spam message (S303). The spam release pattern and spam classification type include any one of a calling party number, message content, access URL, or a combination thereof.

If the short message and the spam release pattern match and are classified as non-spam messages, the message processing unit 170 of the mobile communication terminal 100 is displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal in the same manner as the normal short message processing. Allow the user to check (S305).

On the other hand, if the short message and the spam release pattern does not match as a result of step S303 is classified as a spam message, spam message check unit 160 of the plurality of types of spam classification, the short message of the spam classification type to be classified as spam On the basis of the other spam classification types except for the short message is rechecked whether or not the spam message (S307).

As a result of reconfirmation in step S307, when it is confirmed that the short message is not a spam message, the mobile communication terminal 100 performs the procedure of step S305.

On the other hand, when it is confirmed in step S307 that the short message is a spam message, the mobile communication terminal 100 stores the message information storage unit 180 separately as a spam message (S309).

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof. Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be understood as illustrative in all respects and not as restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the following claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention. do.

As described above, the spam message management system and method of the present invention and a mobile communication terminal therefor include a spam delimiter included in a short message classified as a spam message to a mobile communication terminal, and the mobile communication terminal is classified as a spam message. Since the short message is compared with the preset spam release pattern again to reconfirm whether the message is a spam message, there is an advantage that the spam message can be accurately classified in a more systematic manner.

In addition, since the present invention compares the short message divided into spam messages in the mobile communication terminal with the spam release pattern, the short message can be prevented from being classified as a spam message.

In addition, the present invention transmits a short message classified as a spam message to a mobile communication terminal including a spam delimiter without blocking it in advance so that the message can be managed as a spam message or a normal message according to a user's preference. The advantage is that.
