DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a system and method for providing sender side information according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a network configuration including a sender side information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a network including a sender side information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a calling terminal 100, a sender side information providing system 110, and a receiving terminal 130.

The calling terminal 100 may generate an outgoing call to the receiving terminal 130 through the base station 120 in conjunction with the origination request. In response to the additional information request from the receiving terminal 130 to the calling terminal 100, the calling terminal 100 receives a request from the calling terminal additional information providing system 110 to provide the calling terminal additional information about the calling terminal , And may transmit an 'approval' or 'disapproval' response to the sender side information providing system 110 for the request.

When the originator terminal 100 receives a request for additional information about the originating terminal 100 from the receiving terminal 130 that has received the origination call from the originating terminal 100, ) To the receiving terminal 130 through the base station 120. [0050] FIG. At this time, the sender side information providing system 110 confirms whether or not the sender side information about the originating terminal 100 is provided in the database located therein, or requests the originating terminal 100 to confirm the sender side information, The sender side information may be transmitted to the receiving terminal 130.

When receiving the caller identification information regarding the calling terminal together with the outgoing call, the receiving terminal 130 transmits the calling terminal additional information about the calling terminal 100 to the base station 120 The caller-side additional information providing system 110 may request the caller-side additional information. The receiving terminal 130 receives and displays the sender side information regarding the calling terminal 100 from the sender side information providing system 110 through the base station 120 and displays the received ' Or the 'rejection' request, it is possible to control the call with the calling terminal 100.

2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sender side information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the sender supplementary information providing system 110 includes a search unit 201, a control unit 202, and a database 203. [

When a request for additional information is generated from a receiving terminal that has received first information on the calling terminal together with an outgoing call, the searching unit 201 transmits second information on the calling terminal, which is different from the first information, ). Here, the receiving terminal can generate the additional information request when the key set in the additional information request function is input for a predetermined time or more in a state where an outgoing call is maintained.

At this time, when the additional information request from the receiving terminal, which has received the caller identification information (for example, the caller's telephone number), is input as the first information, the search unit 201 searches the database 203, Information (e.g., sender name, photo, address, affiliation, date of birth, etc.) can be retrieved as the second information. That is, when the receiver can not confirm the caller by using the caller identification information displayed together with the outgoing call to the receiver terminal, the search unit 201 searches the caller to be provided to the receiver terminal according to the additional information request inputted from the receiver Additional information can be retrieved.

The control unit 202 provides the retrieved second information to the receiving terminal while the origination call is maintained. That is, the control unit 202 can provide the outgoing call to the receiving terminal, and provide the retrieved second information to the receiving terminal in a state in which the call connection with the calling terminal is possible. To this end, the control unit 202 may transmit the second information to the receiver using the frequency resource differentiated from the frequency resource for the outgoing call. For example, the control unit 202 can receive the additional information request from the receiving terminal using the second frequency band, or transmit the second information to the receiving terminal when the receiving terminal receives the outgoing call using the first frequency band have.

The control unit 202 may check whether the second information is provided before transmitting the second information and may transmit the second information to the receiving terminal 130 when the second information is allowed to be provided have. Specifically, the control unit 202 checks whether the 'information provision permission' is recorded in the database 203 in correspondence with the retrieved second information, and if the 'information provision permission' is confirmed to be recorded, And can provide it to the terminal.

Since the control unit 202 confirms whether or not the retrieved second information is provided by using the database 203, the control unit 202 not only controls the receiving terminal as well as the receiving terminal , It is possible to apply the same whether the second information is provided even when another information request is generated from another receiving terminal. Accordingly, the control unit 202 can collectively apply the second information regarding the calling terminal to the additional information request from all the receiving terminals.

In addition, the control unit 202 may request the calling terminal whether the second information is provided to the receiving terminal, and may provide the second information to the receiving terminal when an approval response to the request is received from the calling terminal. At this time, when the controller 202 requests the calling terminal to inquire whether or not to provide the searched second information, the controller 202 receives an approval response as to whether or not to selectively provide the information included in the second information from the calling terminal, Only the received item can be provided to the receiver.

For example, the control unit 202 requests the calling terminal whether or not to provide the sender's side information including the sender's name, photo, address, affiliation, and date of birth, and receives an approval response as to whether the sender's name and photo are provided from the calling terminal , Only the sender name and the photo having received the approval response can be provided to the receiver. At this time, since the control unit 202 has not received the approval response regarding whether to provide the address, the affiliation, and the date of birth, the controller 202 does not provide the address, affiliation, and date of birth to the receiver.

Here, the control unit 202 confirms whether or not to provide the second information retrieved from the calling terminal, so that whenever the additional information request is received from the receiving terminal, the control unit 202 controls whether or not to provide the second information individually according to the response of the caller can do. In addition, the control unit 202 receives the information about the items included in the second information by selectively receiving the information from the sender, and provides some items of the approval response to the receiving terminal, so that the providing level for the second information It can be controlled by the sender.

Meanwhile, the control unit 202 may store the second information in the receiving terminal according to the additional information registration request from the receiving terminal. That is, the control unit 202 may provide the second information to the receiving terminal so that the second information is stored in the address book database of the receiving terminal according to the registration request of the receiver in the displayed state.

Then, when the originating call is re-received from the calling terminal, the receiving terminal automatically displays the second information stored in the address book database of the receiving terminal so that the calling terminal can easily grasp the calling party.

The database 203 records the first information and the second information in association with each other. That is, as the sender identification information and the sender side information relating to the originating terminal are recorded in correspondence with each other, the database 203 uses the originator identification information included in the additional information request from the receiving terminal, The sender side information corresponding to the identification information can be searched easily.

In addition, the database 203 may further record whether or not the second information is provided. That is, the database 203 may record the 'information provision permission' or the 'information provision prohibition' for the second information, and control whether the second information is provided to the receiving terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when an additional information request is generated from a receiving terminal that has received caller identification information regarding the calling terminal, the calling terminal adds the calling party's additional information about the calling terminal to the receiving terminal, Even when the sender additional information corresponding to the identification information is not recorded, the sender can easily identify the sender by using the sender additional information in addition to the sender identification information, by causing the receiver terminal to display the sender additional information.

Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in response to the additional information registration request from the receiving terminal, the calling terminal additional information about the calling terminal is stored in the receiving terminal, If received, the sender additional information stored in the receiving terminal is automatically displayed, so that the receiver can easily grasp the caller.

Referring to FIG. 3, in a case where an additional information request is generated from a receiving terminal that has been provided with first information on a calling terminal together with an outgoing call, 2 Retrieve information from the database.

Herein, in a state where an outgoing call is maintained, the receiving terminal may generate the additional information request when the setting key set in the additional information request function is inputted over a predetermined time.

For example, the receiving terminal can receive and display '010-1120-1234' as caller identification information about the calling terminal together with the outgoing call, in conjunction with the calling request of the calling terminal. At this time, the receiver uses only the caller identification information displayed on the reception terminal, and when it is difficult to grasp the caller, the receiver selectively inputs the 'additional information' button (or the key set as the additional information request function) .

When the sender's additional information providing system receives the additional information request from the receiving terminal, the sender's additional information providing system searches the database from the sender's additional information about the calling terminal, which is different from the calling party identification information of '010-1120-1234'. At this time, the sender side information providing system can search the sender side information corresponding to the sender identification information of '010-1120-1234' using the sender identification information of '010-1120-1234'.

Here, the sender additional information providing system can search the database from the sender's name, photo, address, affiliation, date of birth, etc. as the sender's additional information about the originating terminal. For example, the sender additional information providing system can search for sender side information including 'Hong Gil Dong', 'Image Photo', 'Gangnam-gu Seocho-dong', 'LGT', and '1990.1.2'.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of providing additional information to a receiving terminal in response to a request for additional information regarding a calling terminal from a receiving terminal in a sender additional information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, in a case where an additional information request is generated from a receiving terminal that has been provided with first information on a calling terminal together with an outgoing call, 2 information from the database, and transmits the retrieved second information to the receiving end.

At this time, the sender side information providing system may check whether or not the second information is provided, and may transmit the second information to the receiving end when allowing the provision of the second information.

For example, when an additional information request is made from a receiving terminal provided with caller identification information of '010-1120-1234' together with an outgoing call, the caller's additional information providing system transmits the caller identification information '010-1120-1234' For example, 'Hong Gil-dong', 'Image photo', 'Gangnam-gu Seocho-dong', 'LGT', and '1990.1.2', and send the searched additional information to the receiver.

At this time, the additional information providing system of the sender confirms whether or not the additional information of the sender of 'Hong Gil Dong', 'Image Photo', 'Gangnamgu Seocho Dong', 'LGT', and '1990.1.2' is provided, If so, the sender side information can be transmitted to the receiving end.

Herein, the sender side information providing system confirms whether the 'information provision permission' is recorded in the database in correspondence with the sender side information, and when it is confirmed that 'information provision permission' is recorded, the sender side information is provided to the receiving terminal can do. Further, the sender side information providing system may request the calling terminal whether the sender side information is provided to the receiving terminal, and may provide the calling side information to the receiving terminal when an approval response to the request is received from the calling terminal.

At this time, the sender side information providing system requests the calling terminal whether or not to provide the sender side information, and upon receiving an approval response as to whether or not to selectively provide the information included in the sender side information from the calling terminal, Only the received item can be provided to the receiver. For example, the sender additional information providing system may request the calling terminal to provide the sender additional information including 'Hong Gil Dong', 'Image photo', 'Gangnam-gu Seocho-dong', 'LGT', and '1990.1.2' When receiving an approval response on whether to provide 'Hong Gil Dong' and 'Image Photo', only the 'Hong Gil Dong' and the 'image photo' that received the approval response can be provided to the receiving terminal. At this time, the system for providing additional information of the sender did not receive the approval response for the provision of 'Seocho-dong', 'LGT' and '1990.1.2' in Gangnam-gu, so 'Seocho-dong in Gangnam-gu, LGT, It is not provided to the receiving terminal.

Then, the sender side information providing system provides the sender side information to the destination terminal, and when the destination side additional information is displayed, when the receiver's registration request command is input, ',' Gangnam-gu Seocho-dong ',' LGT ', and' 1990.1.2 '.

Then, when the outgoing call is re-received from 'Hong Kil-Dong', the receiving terminal transmits the caller's supplementary information of 'Hong Gil Dong', 'Image photo', 'Gangnam-gu Seocho-dong', 'LGT', and '1990.1.2' stored in the address book database of the receiving terminal Is automatically displayed, so that the receiver can easily grasp the caller.

5 is a message flow diagram illustrating a method for providing sender side information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, the calling terminal 100 receives the recipient identification information (e.g., the recipient's telephone number) from the caller, and upon receiving a transmission request to the receiving terminal 130 corresponding to the recipient identification information, To the receiving terminal 130 (501).

At this time, upon receiving the call request from the calling terminal 100, the base station 120 confirms the receiver identification information received together with the call request, and transmits a call request to the reception terminal 130 corresponding to the receiver identification information (502). Here, the base station 120 may transmit, as a call request, the first information about the calling terminal together with the outgoing call, for example, the calling party identification information (e.g., the calling party's telephone number) to the receiving terminal 130.

The reception terminal 130 outputs the outgoing call received in the call request as ringing or vibration, and displays the caller identification information (503). The receiving terminal 130 may request additional information about the calling terminal 100 from the calling subscriber information providing system 110 through the base station 120 (504) when an additional information request command is input from the receiver.

When the additional information request is generated from the receiving terminal 130, the sender's additional information providing system 110 transmits the second information related to the calling terminal different from the first information, for example, the calling party's additional information about the calling terminal , Photo, address, affiliation, date of birth, etc.) from an internal database (506).

The calling subscriber information providing system 110 may provide the searched second information to the receiving terminal 130 through the base station 120 while the calling signal is maintained at the receiving terminal 130.
