Description

Group Multimedia Message System and Method Thereof

The present invention relates to a group multimedia message system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to form a group for performing multimedia communication between intimate members such as small businesses and small groups, and to share a member address book and a message box among members of the group. In addition, the present invention relates to a group multimedia message system and method for transmitting and receiving multimedia data between members.

Ordinary companies or small business owners produce pamphlets or flyers to provide specific information or product information to regular customers. However, pamphlets or flyers are targeted to the general public rather than a specific customer is a problem that the advertising effect is very low. In addition, a lot of advertisements using a mobile phone (mobile phone) and a short message have been made in recent years. Since the conventional e-mail is transmitted randomly rather than a limited customer, most of the spam e-mails that the customer does not want are targeted. In addition, since the content that can be included in the short message is limited, there is a disadvantage that the information provision or advertising effect is insignificant. Therefore, all companies that provide customer service, such as financial institutions, general companies, small business owners, schools, and academies, are required to provide customers with the specific and product information they need quickly and accurately. have.

According to the demand of such a service, a group communication method using the Internet-based Group Message System (GMS) or a group messaging service using the Universal Messaging Service (UMS) have been developed and are in service. Most of these services are suitable for the purpose of telemarketing, mass notification messages, etc., and are inconvenient in message transmission, notification, and message acknowledgment methods, which makes it difficult for small, intimate groups to actually use them.

In addition, the existing group message system has the following disadvantages.

First, it is composed mainly of wired line network (PSTN), and when a subscription is assigned a separate phone number for group messages, subscribers must dial the phone number to check their mailbox or send a group message. It is inconvenient to remember one more virtual phone number besides one's own phone number.

Second, in order to utilize a voice mailbox or a fax mailbox, it is inconvenient to inform the other parties that they know a group message phone number separately from their own phone number.

Third, since the assigned group message phone number is a virtual phone number, even if a voice message is received, its contents cannot be known in real time, which is inconvenient. Of course, it is possible to link with E-mail, but it is not available to everyone, and it is not always possible to check e-mail, so it is inconvenient to check periodically whether a voice message has been received in his or her mailbox. .

Fourth, in the case of a group voice message, if a number of unsuccessful attempts are made to each called party's phone in the called group, the group voice message is delivered to the voice mailbox of the called party. Delivering often fails.

Fifth, the system itself is mainly focused on group message senders. The recipient does not know which group he belongs to or who belongs to the group, and receives the message unilaterally regardless of his will. In other words, it is defined as a sender of group messages, and is mostly applied to one-way communication focused on advertisers, and is not suitable for interactive services among intimate small group members such as clubs, clubs, and reunions.

Sixth, because the management of the called group is made separately for each sender, it is difficult for the called group address book among members belonging to the same group to be kept consistent. In addition, when information is changed due to enrollment or withdrawal or moving of member members, it is more difficult to maintain a consistent address book among members.

Seventh, considering only existing circuit-switched networks, text messaging and group-based messaging are possible, but they cannot support group messaging targeting multimedia such as photo files, music files, and video files.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a group for performing multimedia communication between intimate members such as small businesses and small groups, sharing member address book and message boxes among members of the group, and multimedia data among members.

2 is a configuration diagram schematically showing the configuration of the mobile communication network 130.

In the present invention, the mobile communication network 130 is a wireless base station 220, mobile switching center 230, Home Location Register (HLR) 232, Visitor Location Register (VLR) 234, Short Message Service (SMS) Center ( 236) and the like.

The wireless base station 220 has a configuration that includes a base station transmitter (BTS) 222, a base station controller (BSC) 224, and the like. Here, the base station transmitter 222 is arranged in units of cells and transmits a call request generated from the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to the mobile switching center 230 or exists in a cell area under its control. A location registration process for grasping the locations of 132 and 134 is processed. The base station transmitter 222 can obtain information such as latitude and longitude of the base station transmitter 222 from a GPS satellite (not shown). The base station transmitter 222 transmits the system parameter message of the forward link call channel to the position information of the base station transmitter 222. Transfer to the mobile terminal (132, 134) through. The mobile terminals 132 and 134 may register new location information by calculating the moving distance of the mobile terminals 132 and 134 by using the location information of the base station transmitter 222 of the cell to which they belong.

Location registration is a processing procedure that informs the mobile switching center 230 via the base station transmitter 222 of the location, status, identifier, slot period, and other features of the mobile terminal 132,134. This is a procedure for effectively calling the mobile terminals 132 and 134 when a call is to be set to the terminals 132 and 134. Such location registration of the mobile terminals 132 and 134 may be performed when the mobile terminals 132 and 134 are turned on or off, when the mobile terminals 132 and 134 move between the mobile switching center 230, and the mobile terminals. It is implemented when the parameters of 132 and 134 are changed.

The base station controller 224 controls and manages a plurality of base stations, and performs various functions required for radio call processing such as handoff. The base station controller 224 also transmits subscriber information of the location registered mobile terminals 132, 134 to the mobile switching center 230.

The mobile switching center 230 has a control function so that the mobile communication network can be efficiently operated and an interworking function with the exchange of the public switching network. The mobile switching center 230 moves to the visitor location register (hereinafter referred to as 'VLR') 234 in the mobile switching center 230 when the location registration of the mobile terminals 132 and 134 is performed through the wireless base station 220. After temporarily storing the subscriber information of the terminals 132 and 134, the mobile terminal 132 and 134 requests the location registration of the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to the home location register (hereinafter referred to as 'HLR').

Here, the HLR 232 is a database that stores service profiles related to the subscriber information of the users of the mobile terminals 132 and 134. The mobile identification numbers of the mobile terminals 132 and 134 as well as the subscriber's telephone call are identified. Number: MIN, Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and service type information. The HLR 232 stores the subscriber information including the information of the wireless base station 220 and the mobile switching center 230 where the mobile terminals 132 and 134 are located. The mobile switching center 230 includes a control unit, a call path unit, and a peripheral device, and also has a charging data collection function for the mobile terminals 132 and 134.

The SMS center 240 receives the transmission message from the calling party, converts the SMS message into an SMS message, and sends the same to the receiving party.

Next, a preferable operation of the group multimedia message system 100 configured as described above will be described.

3 is a view showing an example of subscriber account information required when using the GMMS according to the present invention.

In the present invention, subscriber registration for using GMMS is performed by the user accessing the web / mail server 119 via the Internet 140 using the client computers 142 and 144 to access the GMMS web account 302 and the GMMS subscriber account. 304 is assigned. The GMMS web account 302 is an account required to use GMMS through the web, and is composed of a "User Name" and a "Password", all of which consist of a combination of alphabetic / numeric / special characters within a maximum length determined by the operator. The GMMS subscriber account 304 is an account necessary for using GMMS through the public switching network 120 and the mobile communication network 130, and is composed of "Subs_ID", "Subs_PW", and the like. "Subs_ID" is automatically set to a predetermined length by the operator using the telephone number representing the subscriber. That is, "Subs_ID" is set to a part (or all) of the public switching network 120 phone number including the area code or a part (or all) of the mobile communication network 130 phone number including the business number. Of course, the "Subs_PW" is selected by the subscriber as a combination of numbers within the maximum length determined by the operator.

On the other hand, when subscribing to a GMMS, the subscriber can define the GMMS group of the corresponding subscriber by searching whether there is a GMMS group included as the subscriber before subscribing to the GMMS, and set necessary attributes for each GMMS group. In addition, it is possible to set whether the group message notification target is a mobile terminal, an e-mail, a notification not received, a mobile terminal and an e-mail, or a direct call connection.

4 is a view showing an example of the definition and structure of the GMMS group, group address book and message box sharing according to the present invention.

In FIG. 4, reference numerals 400 and 410 show examples of GMMS group information structures of GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-123-4567) and GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-234-0231), respectively. The GMMS group can be created by a GMMS subscriber logging into his / her web account on the web / mail server 119 and includes two types of groups, a host group 401 and 411 and a guest group 402 and 412.

The host groups 401 and 411 are GMMS groups created by the subscribers themselves, and the guest groups 402 and 412 are not GMMS groups created by themselves, but are registered as members in GMMS groups created by others. It is GMMS group in position. The person who created the GMMS group for any GMMS group is called a host, and the remaining members of the GMMS group except the host are called guests. The classification of GMMS group is to express ownership relation of GMMS group. The same GMMS group becomes host GMMS group from creator's point of view and guest GMMS group from member's point of view. In other words, the guest GMMS group is not a GMMS group created by itself, but because it belongs to a member of the group, the GMMS group information can be linked to refer to messages coming through the GMMS group or to send messages to the GMMS group. It is done. For example, the GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-234-0231) address is displayed in the member list (403) of the "joint group" group defined in the host group list (401) of the GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-123-4567). Group included in the guest group list 412 of the GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-234-0231) is defined in the host group list (401) of the GMMS subscriber (Subs_ID: 011-123-4567). It has a link to "Membership".

Each GMMS group has group common attributes (406, 408, 416, 418) for the GMMS set by the host, and member-specific attributes (407, 409, 417, 419) that can be set for each member.

Group common characteristics for GMMS include host ID, group ID, group name, member list 403, message box 404, reply range, group sharing, and the like. "Host ID" represents the "Subs_ID" of the host that created the GMMS group, that is, the representative telephone number of the host. The "Group ID" is a sequence number of the GMMS group from the host's point of view. Have "Group Name" indicates a meeting name representing the GMMS group, and "member list" 403 indicates address items belonging to the group among address items in the global address book 405. In addition, the "member list" 403 has a link for accessing member-specific attributes defined for the group by members corresponding to each address item. The "message box" 404 includes all messages received by the GMMS group and includes attributes such as message ID, sender name, priority, sending time, subject, type, reply range, and password. Here, the "message ID" is a message serial number assigned to the message in the group and has a value of 0001 to 999. The "Sender Name" field is a name obtained by mapping to the calling number or the calling party ID, and the "Priority" field is an attribute indicating the importance of the message. The "Priority" attribute includes attributes such as Urgent and Normal. If the "Priority" field has priority, the transmission of the message is prioritized. If delivery fails, other retransmissions, direct connection and e-mail, etc. It can also be attempted to transfer via a communication means. The "Send time" field indicates the time when the message was originally sent, and "Title" indicates the subject of the message. In the case of "Title", when the user cannot directly input the subject of the notification message, such as when sending a group voice message through the ARS, the caller information and time information are automatically created. "Type" indicates the type of message concerned, including SMS, voice, FAX, multimedia, and the like. "Reply range" is a field that defines the range to notify the reply message for the message, "Password" is a field for authenticating the access when accessing GMMS through the notification message with the reply number attached, the message ID Unlike this, randomly assigned within the range of 0000 ~ 9999. The "group sharing" attribute is used to set whether the group's address book information is shared among members so that messages can be exchanged between members or only the creator of the GMMS group can send messages. For example, when creating a group for group messaging between intimate groups such as family, fellowship, reunion, etc., the group sharing attribute is shared. When creating a GMMS group for sending an advertisement mail, the group sharing attribute is not shared.

 "Member-specific attributes" include attributes such as receive, notify, nickname, boilerplate, and the like. The "receive" attribute is a field indicating whether the user receives a message received by the group, and performs a function of filtering a message received from the user. The "Notify" attribute indicates whether to send a reply to a group message to the GMMS group as a whole or to the message sender only. The value of the "notification" attribute is limited according to the group sharing attribute of the corresponding message group, for example, if the group sharing attribute is nonshared, the notification attribute is limited to the message sender. The "nickname" attribute is a field for expressing one's nickname which shows himself friendly to the GMMS group. When a group voice message is sent, GMMS notifies each member of the group via a short message. If the "nickname" field is set, the "nickname" field is used instead of the sender's name, such as the subject of the short message. Will be used. The "Commercials" field is a necessary field to supplement the message subject or content may become too obsolete when a notification message is automatically generated, such as in the case of sending a group voice message via wired or wireless telephone. That is, if "commercial phrases" are registered, the group voice message sender can edit the subject or content of the notification message to the extent desired by the ARS.

 On the other hand, since the "guest group" is a GMMS group that exists in the subscriber account of the host that created the GMMS group, not in its own subscriber account, "Subs_ID" of the host (the creator of the GMMS group) and " Group ID "information is included to refer to the corresponding GMMS group information in the host account. The "member-specific attribute" of the guest group is linked with the attribute of each member of the member list for reference in the "member list" of the original GMMS group in the host account.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a user connects to the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110 and uses GMMS through a wired or wireless telephone network.

The GMMS server 110 includes a fax server 114 and an ARS recording server 115 so that the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 or the client computers 142 and 144 can perform a communication connection at any time. In this case, the soft switch 116, the SMS / WAP server 117, the media server 118, and the web / mail server 119 are activated and are in a standby state for communication (S502).

When the user connects to the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110 using the wired terminal 122 or 124 or the mobile terminal 132 or 134, the group voice is used when the voice mailbox / fax mailbox function is used. When a message is sent, a group voice message is to be checked and returned irrespective of the notification message, a reception rejection or a characteristic of each member of the group is to be set.

In GMMS, the voicemail / faxbox function wants to send a fax to the other party when the user wants to leave only the voice message directly without talking to the other party, to send the voice message to the other party's E-mail, but the other party wants to send the fax. It can be used when you do not have a message, when you want to listen to a voice mail message from yourself.

When a user connects to the ARS recording server 155 of the GMMS server 110 using the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, it depends on the type of the terminal and the possession of the terminal. First, when the terminal used for connection is a mobile terminal or a wired terminal of a mobile communication service provider that does not have a service level agreement (SLA) with the GMMS service provider, the "GMMS service provider number + GMMS special number" may be called. For example, when the GMMS business number is 011 and the GMMS special number is 150, the user operates the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to access the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110. Enter [011 + 150 + Call Key] to connect.

On the other hand, if the terminal to be used for access belongs to a GMMS provider network or a mobile terminal of a mobile communication provider network that has an SLA with a GMMS provider, it depends on whether or not the terminal is registered in GMMS under its own name. If the terminal to be used for connection is a terminal registered with GMMS in its name, the terminal of the mobile communication provider specially allocated for this purpose is called. For example, when the mobile operator assigns a special number "* 50" for this purpose, the user operates the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to input [* 50 + call key] to connect. However, even if the terminal to be used for connection belongs to the GMMS provider network or the mobile terminal of the mobile telecommunications provider network having an SLA with the GMMS provider, the user may call the "GMMS special number" if the terminal is not registered in GMMS under his or her name. For example, if the GMMS operator special number is 150, the user enters [150 + call key] to connect.

When the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 are connected through the mobile communication network 130 by the user's operation (S504), the GMMS server 110 calls from the corresponding mobile communication network 130. It receives the information, the subscriber knows that the subscriber accesses the ARS recording server 115 to his terminal on the basis of the calling number information, and voice guidance requesting to input the GMMS subscriber account through the ARS recording server 115 Provide a message (S506).

GMMS server 110, the wired terminal (122, 124) or mobile terminal (132, 134) belongs to the GMMS provider network, or the subscriber of the mobile communication network network that has entered into the SLA with the GMMS provider is subscribed to GMMS in its name Except in the case of accessing GMMS with a mobile terminal, it is not possible to know whether the connection is a connection using its own terminal. Therefore, the GMMS subscriber account (Subs_ID) is inputted. In this case, the GMMS subscriber account (Subs_ID) may be another person, in which case, a voice message or a fax is sent to another person's voice mailbox.

The user of the wired terminal 122 or 124 or the mobile terminal 132 or 134 inputs a GMMS subscriber account (Subs_ID), for example, "011-123-4567" through key input (S508).

When the GMMS subscriber account is input from the wired terminal 122 or 124 or the mobile terminal 132 or 134, the GMMS server 110 provides a voice guidance message for selecting a desired menu through the ARS recording server 115 ( S510). At this time, the voice guidance message is a voice message for guiding a plurality of menus for GMMS by voice, guiding to select one of the provided menus, and selecting a menu and then inputting a GMMS subscriber password.

In this case, a plurality of menus have different processing procedures according to menus requiring authentication and menus not requiring authentication. If authentication is not required, when you do not want to talk to the other party and leave only the voice message directly, when you want to send the voice message to the other party's E-mail, when the other party does not have a fax but wants to send the fax to the other party, etc. to be. When authentication is required, the GMMS server 110 receives a GMMS subscriber password (Subs_PW) from the visitor and performs accessor authentication.

The user of the wired terminal 122 or 124 or the mobile terminal 132 or 134 selects a menu that he / she wants to perform according to the voice guidance provided by the ARS recording server 115, and then uses the GMMS subscriber password that is granted when joining the GMMS. Enter (S512).

When a menu is selected from the wired terminal 122 or 124 or the mobile terminal 132 or 134 and the GMMS subscriber password is input, the GMMS server 110 retrieves the GMMS subscriber password stored in the group media database 111, If the entered GMMS subscriber password exists, accessor authentication is performed (S514).

The GMMS server 110 executes a menu selected by the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 when the authentication of the accessor is successful (S516).

On the other hand, if the accessor authentication fails in step S516, GMMS server 110 via the ARS recording server 115 to the wired terminal (122, 124) or mobile terminal (132, 134) the reason why authentication failed as a voice guidance message Provide and start again from step S506 requesting to input the GMMS subscriber account (S520).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting and receiving a group short message with a mobile terminal through GMMS according to the present invention.

For better understanding of the description according to the present invention, the GMMS special number is assumed to be "150", the subscriber account (Subs_ID) of the recipient GMMS group creator is assumed to be "011-123-4567", and the group ID is "02". Assume In addition, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 132 is a calling mobile terminal, and that the PDA-type mobile terminal 134 is a called mobile terminal.

The GMMS subscriber operates the calling mobile terminal 132 to create a short message to be sent to the called party (S602), and then enters "150 + 011-123-4567 + 02" as the called party number to receive the short message, and the call button Press (Send) to send to the mobile communication network 130 (S604).

The mobile communication network 130 transmits the short message received from the calling mobile terminal 132 at the mobile switching center 230 to the SMS center 240 at step S606. The SMS center 240 converts the short message received from the mobile switching center 230 into an SMS message and transmits the short message back to the mobile switching center 230 of the mobile communication network 130 (S608).

The mobile communication network 130 recognizes that the called number to receive the SMS message starts with the GMMS special number 150, and sends the called number information along with the calling number and SMS message of the calling mobile terminal 132 to the GMMS server 110. Transfer to (S610). In this case, the caller may register a "150-011-123-4567-02" as the name of the group in his or her mobile terminal address book, and may conveniently use the short message to the corresponding GMMS group. If the caller is a subscriber of another mobile carrier and a GMMS subscriber, the GMMS provider number + GMMS special number + subscriber account (Subs_ID) + group ID of the recipient GMMS group creator can be entered in the destination address.

The GMMS server 110 checks whether the calling number is registered as a member of the terminating GMMS group and the "group sharing attribute" of the GMMS group is shared, and if yes, attaches the received SMS message to the message box of the terminating GMMS group. And set a callback number tag for the message (S612). In this case, the reply number tag is a GMMS business number (011) + GMMS special number (150) + subscriber account of the creator of the recipient GMMS group (Subs_ID: 011-123-4567) + group ID (02) + message ID (assuming 123) Set to the message PW (assuming 1234). As a result, members of the receiving GMMS group whose reception attribute is set to "Yes" can receive the corresponding group short message.

In addition, the GMMS server 110 searches the group media database 111 and transmits the tag to the members having the reception attribute of "Yes" among the members of the destination GMMS group, for example, the destination mobile terminal 134. The added SMS message is transmitted to the mobile communication network 130 (S614).

The mobile switching center 230 of the mobile communication network 130 transmits the tagged SMS message received from the GMMS server 110 to the called-party mobile terminal 134 based on the called party information (S616).

The called party receives and confirms an SMS message through the called-party mobile terminal 134, and composes a response message while selecting the corresponding SMS message to reply to the SMS message, and then presses a call key to transmit the message.

The response message sent from the called mobile terminal 134 is transferred to the mobile communication network 130, and the mobile communication network 130 transmits the response message received from the called mobile terminal 134 by the SMS center ( And transmits it to 240) (S620).

The SMS center 240 converts the response message received from the mobile switching center 230 into an SMS message and transmits it to the mobile switching center 230 (S622).

The mobile communication network 130 transmits a response message to the GMMS server 110 based on the reply information sent from the called-party mobile terminal 134 (S624).

When the GMMS server 110 receives the response message, it authenticates the message ID and PW from the called party information of the response message, and if it is correct, attaches the corresponding response message to the message box of the called GMMS group, and responds to the corresponding response message. The number tag is set and transmitted to the mobile communication network 130 (S626). At this time, the reply range is determined by a smaller range of the reply attribute field of the original message to be replied and the notification attribute field in the member field of each member of the corresponding GMMS group. By default, the reply range attribute value of a group short message that is not a reply inherits the "group shared attribute" of that GMMS group, or is passed through a web connection, and is sent directly by the sender within the limits specified in the "group shared attribute" of that GMMS group. Can be set.

The mobile communication network 130 transmits the response message created by the called party's mobile terminal 134 to a member having a reception attribute of "Yes" among members of the GMMS group, that is, the calling party's mobile terminal 132 (S628).

7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of creating and transmitting a group short message on the web through GMMS according to the present invention.

The GMMS server 110 provides a web page for the GMMS to the Internet 140 through the web / mail server 119 (S702).

The GMMS subscriber accesses the web / mail server 119 via the Internet 140 using the client computers 142 and 144 and logs in with his GMMS web account (S704).

The GMMS server 110 provides a web page including a plurality of menus including a group short message creation menu through the web / mail server 119 (S706).

After logging in to the GMMS server 110, the GMMS subscriber selects a group short message creation menu from a web site provided by the GMMS server 110 through the web / mail server 119 (S708).

When the client computer 142 or 144 selects the group short message creation menu, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page for inputting a short message content for creating a group short message and selecting a destination GMMS group (S710).

The GMMS subscriber selects the incoming GMMS group through the web page, composes a group short message, and requests sending (S712). At this time, the GMMS group whose "group sharing attribute" is set to non-sharing cannot be selected among the guest GMMS groups from the caller's point of view. In addition, when a user sends a group short message via the web, unlike when sending a group short message through a mobile terminal, a message transmission priority, a message subject, a sending time (scheduled sending), a notification range, a reply range, and the like can be set. Can be.

The GMMS server 110 attaches the group short message received from the client computers 142 and 144 to the message box of the destination GMMS group, sets a callback number tag for the group short message, and transmits the data. After generating (S714), the transmission data is transmitted to the members of the receiving GMMS group whose reception attribute is "Yes" (S716).

At this time, the reply number tag is a GMMS business number (011) + GMMS special number (150) + subscriber account of the creator of the recipient GMMS group (Subs_ID: 011-123-4567) + group ID (02) + message ID (assuming 123) + Set to message PW (assuming 1234). As a result, members of the receiving GMMS group who have set the reception attribute to "Yes" receive the group short message.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a GMMS subscriber records and sends a group voice message through ARS.

The GMMS subscriber connects to the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110 via the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to record the group voice message.

The GMMS server 110 provides a plurality of menus as voice guidance messages, including group voice message creation, to the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 through the ARS recording server 115.

The GMMS subscriber operates the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to select a group voice message composition menu (S802).

When the group voice message creation menu is selected from the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, the GMMS server 110 provides a voice guidance message for selecting a called group (S804).

The GMMS subscriber selects the called group by operating the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 according to the ARS guidance message (S806). At this time, the GMMS subscriber can select only the group whose host group or group sharing property is set to "Yes" as the destination group.

When the destination group is selected from the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, the GMMS server 110 uses the ARS recording server 115 to select a type of group voice message to be written. Provide a message (S808).

Thereafter, the GMMS subscriber selects the group voice message to be recorded by operating the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 (S810). At this time, the types of group voice messages that can be selected by the GMMS subscriber include simple survey, group communication, and simple notification.

If the GMMS subscriber selects "simple question" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 causes the GMMS subscriber to set the number of survey items according to the ARS guidance message, in which case the reply range for the group voice message is sent to the sender. Automatically set (S812).

When the GMMS subscriber selects "group communication" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 allows the GMMS subscriber to directly select a reply range according to the ARS guidance (S814).

If the GMMS subscriber selects "simple notification" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 automatically sets the reply range to "NULL" (S816).

GMMS server 110, if the GMMS subscriber selects the type of group voice message, the boilerplate, messages necessary for writing a notification message to the wired terminal (122, 124) or mobile terminal (132, 134) via the ARS recording server 115 A voice guidance message for selecting a notification range, dispatch priority, dispatch reservation time, and the like is provided (S818).

The GMMS subscriber selects a boilerplate, a message notification range, a priority of dispatch, a scheduled time of dispatch, and the like to record a group voice message according to the ARS guide message (S820).

GMMS server 110, when the data necessary for the notification message is input from the wired terminal (122, 124) or the mobile terminal (132, 134) and the voice recording is completed, caller information, call time, message type, attributes for each group member Using the nickname of the GMMS subscriber and the boilerplate selected by the subscriber, create a notification message and set the reply number tag to generate transmission data (S822).

Thereafter, the GMMS server 110 stores the created notification message in a message box of the GMMS group, and sends the generated transmission data to the destination group (S824). At this time, the reply number tag is set to the subscriber account (Subs_ID) + group ID + message ID + message PW of the GMMS operator number + GMMS special number + creator of the destination GMMS group.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a process of listening to and responding to a group voice message through the ARS regardless of receiving the arrival notification message of the group voice message.

The GMMS subscriber connects to the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110 via the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 to listen to the group voice message.

The GMMS server 110 provides a plurality of menus as voice guidance messages, including group voice message listening, to the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 through the ARS recording server 115.

The GMMS subscriber selects a group voice message listening menu by manipulating the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 (S902).

When the group voice message listening menu is selected from the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, the GMMS server 110 provides a voice guidance message for selecting and listening to the GMMS group and group voice messages ( S904).

The GMMS subscriber selects the GMMS group and the group voice message by operating the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 according to the ARS guidance message (S906). At this time, the GMMS subscriber can select only the group whose host group or group sharing property is set to "Yes" as the GMMS group.

When the GMMS group and the group voice message are selected from the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, the GMMS server 110 searches the group media database 111 and selects the group voice selected from the input GMMS group. The message is read and provided to the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 (S908).

Thereafter, the GMMS subscriber may determine whether to reply to the group voice message when the GMMS group is his host group or a guest group whose group sharing property is set to "Yes". In addition, even when the reply is decided, it is possible to decide whether to connect the caller directly or just write a reply message.

If the GMMS subscriber decides to write only a reply message instead of directly calling the caller, the GMMS subscriber selects a reply reply by key input operation (S910).

When the reply reply is selected from the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, the GMMS server 110 selects whether to reply by a telephone call or to create a reply message to reply. Provided to the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134 (S912).

If the GMMS subscriber wants to write a reply message, the GMMS subscriber selects a reply message creation by key input operation (S914).

The GMMS server 110 provides a voice guidance message through which the ARS recording server 115 selects a boilerplate, a message notification range, a sending priority, a sending reservation time, and the like necessary for creating a notification message (S916).

The GMMS subscriber selects a boilerplate, a message notification range, a priority of dispatch, a scheduled time of dispatch, and the like, to record a group voice message according to the ARS guide message (S918).

GMMS server 110, when the data necessary for the notification message is input from the wired terminal (122, 124) or the mobile terminal (132, 134) and the voice recording is completed, caller information, call time, message type, attributes for each group member Using the nickname of the GMMS subscriber and the boilerplate selected by the subscriber writes a notification message and sets the reply number tag to generate the transmission data (S920).

Thereafter, the GMMS server 110 stores the created notification message in a message box of the corresponding GMMS group, and sends the generated transmission data to the destination group (S922).

 On the other hand, if the GMMS subscriber selects a direct call with the caller in step S914 without selecting to write a reply message, the GMMS server 110 calls the original group voice message sender and then makes a call with the GMMS subscriber (responder). Will connect (S924).

After receiving the arrival notification message of the group voice message, the GMMS subscriber can listen to the group voice message and reply to the response using the reply number tag. That is, after receiving the notification message that the group voice message has arrived, the GMMS subscriber presses a call key immediately after confirming the notification message, and accesses the ARS recording server 115 of the GMMS server 110 using the reply number tag. In this case, the GMMS server 110 authenticates the subscriber by using the calling party number and the called number (call number TAG). Thereafter, the GMMS subscriber listens to and responds to the group voice message according to the ARS announcement message in the same manner as in FIG. 9.

10 and 11 are flowcharts illustrating a process of recording and sending a group voice message through the web.

When the GMMS subscriber uses the ARS recording server 115 by accessing the GMMS server 110 using the wired terminals 122 and 124 or the mobile terminals 132 and 134, it is necessary to control the group voice message transmission in more detail. If present, send a group voice message via web.

To this end, the GMMS subscriber accesses the web site of the GMMS server 110 via the Internet 140 using the client computers 142 and 144 and logs in with his GMMS web account (S1002).

When the client computers 142 and 144 connect, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page including a plurality of menus including a group voice message creation menu through the web / mail server 119 (S1004).

The GMMS subscriber operates the client computers 142 and 144 to select a group voice message composition menu (S1006).

When the group voice message creation menu is selected from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page for selecting the incoming GMMS group and selecting a message type (S1008).

The GMMS subscriber selects the destination group by using the client computers 142 and 144 according to the web page guide. At this time, the GMMS subscriber can select only the group whose host group or group sharing property is set to "Yes" as the destination group.

Thereafter, the GMMS subscriber selects the type of group voice message to be recorded using the client computers 142 and 144 (S1010). At this time, the types of group voice messages that can be selected by the GMMS subscriber include simple survey, group communication, and simple notification.

If the GMMS subscriber selects "simple question" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 causes the GMMS subscriber to set the number of survey items according to the ARS guidance message, in which case the reply range for the group voice message is sent to the sender. Automatically set (S1012).

When the GMMS subscriber selects "group communication" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 allows the GMMS subscriber to directly select a reply range according to the ARS guidance (S1014).

If the GMMS subscriber selects "simple notification" among the message types, the GMMS server 110 automatically sets the reply range to "NULL" (S1016).

When the GMMS subscriber selects a group voice message type, the GMMS server 110 uses the boilerplate, message notification range, dispatch priority, necessary to create a notification message to the client computers 142 and 144 through the web / mail server 119. A web page for selecting a shipment scheduling time or the like is provided (S1018).

The GMMS subscriber selects and inputs a boilerplate, a message notification range, a sending priority, a reservation time, and the like necessary for writing a notification message according to a web page guide (S1020). GMMS subscribers can choose to record voice messages directly or use existing voice messages or recordings. If an existing voice message or recording file is selected, the message can be sent directly using the recording file or voice message without a recording process. When recording voice messages, GMMS subscribers can choose how to record.

When the client computers 142 and 144 select recording, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page for selecting a recording method to the client computers 142 and 144 (S1022). At this time, the web page for selecting a recording method is a microphone method for inputting a voice through a PC microphone, a TTS method for converting text to voice by inputting text, and an incoming telephone number where the client computers 142 and 144 are located. Thus, the GMMS server 110 calls a destination telephone number and selects one of the telephone methods for allowing client computers 142 and 144 to input voice through the telephone.

The GMMS subscriber selects and inputs a recording method of a microphone method, a TTS method, and a telephone method provided through a web page (S1024).

When the microphone system is selected and input from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page to the client computers 142 and 144 for guiding voice input through the microphone, and the client computer 142, The voice input from 144 is recorded and stored in the group media database 111 (S1026).

When the TTS method is selected and input from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 provides a text input form, TTS converts the text data input from the client computers 142 and 144, and converts the group data into voice messages. The data is stored in the database 111 (S1028).

When the telephone system is selected and input from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page with a form for inputting the incoming telephone number, and when the incoming telephone number is input from the client computers 142 and 144. Call the incoming telephone number through the ARS recording server 115, receives the voice from the telephone of the client computer (142, 144) side and records and stores it in the group media database 111 (S1030).

When the voice recording is completed from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 performs the data necessary for creating a notification message, that is, caller information, time of transmission, message type, nickname of attribute for each group member, and the boilerplate selected by the GMMS subscriber. A notification message is created using the above and the transmission number tag is set (S1032).

Thereafter, the GMMS server 110 stores the created notification message in a message box of the corresponding GMMS group, and sends the generated transmission data to the selected notification target members (S1034).

 On the other hand, in step S1020, if the GMMS subscriber selects and inputs the data required for composing the group voice message and does not select a recording method, the GMMS server 110 selects an existing message or voice file with the client computers 142 and 144. The client computer 142, 144 uploads the selected data (S1036). Then, the GMMS server 110 creates a notification message using data uploaded from the client computers 142 and 144, a boilerplate selected by the GMMS subscriber, sets a reply number tag, generates transmission data, and then creates the notification. The message is stored in the message box of the GMMS group, and the generated transmission data is sent to the selected notification target members (S1032 and S1034).

The GMMS subscriber accesses the website of the GMMS server 110, logs in with his GMMS web account, and selects and listens to a message group and a group voice message. The GMMS subscriber can decide whether to reply to the group voice message when the group is his host group or a guest group whose group sharing property is set to "Yes". When replying to the group voice message, the GMMS subscriber creates a notification message, records a voice message, and sends the notification message in the same manner as described in FIG. 10.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting and receiving a group multimedia message and a reply through a mobile terminal.

In order to facilitate understanding of the description according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 132 is a calling mobile terminal, and that the PDA-type mobile terminal 134 is a called mobile terminal.

The GMMS subscriber selects a multimedia file to be transmitted from his mobile terminal 132 such as a digital photo, a video, a music file, edits a notification message, and then sends the corresponding GMMS group URL or group email address as a destination address. Enter and send (S1202).

In this case, the calling mobile terminal 132 establishes a packet data session with the GMMS server 110 through the mobile communication network 130, passes authentication to the GMMS server 110, and then sends the GMMS through the established packet data session. The group multimedia message is transmitted to the server 110 (S1204).

The GMMS server 110 stores the group multimedia message received from the calling mobile terminal 132 in a message box of the GMMS group, sets a callback URL tag for the group multimedia message, and sends the group media message. The database 111 is searched to check members whose reception attribute is "Yes" among the members of the destination GMMS group. Based on the multimedia message to be transmitted, a notification message for transmitting to a member whose reception attribute is set to "Yes" among members of the terminating GMMS group is generated (S1206). Therefore, the called party's mobile terminal 134 having the reception attribute set to "Yes" can receive the notification message.

The GMMS server 110 transmits the notification message to the called party's mobile terminal 134 via the mobile communication network 130 (S1208).

The called party's mobile terminal 134 receives a notification message from the GMMS server 110.

The called party accesses the GMMS server 110 via the mobile communication network 130 via the mobile communication network 130 by pressing a call key while selecting a corresponding notification message in order to check the group multimedia message through the called-party mobile terminal 134 (S1210). ).

If there is a request for checking or downloading the group multimedia message from the called party's mobile terminal 134, the GMMS server 110 transmits the group multimedia message to the called party's mobile terminal 134 (S1212).

The GMMS subscriber receiving the group multimedia message through the called mobile terminal 314 composes a reply message to the received group multimedia message and transmits it to the calling mobile terminal 132 via the mobile communication network 130. The GMMS server 110 transmits the data (S1214).

The GMMS server 110 sends a reply message received from the called mobile terminal 134 to the calling mobile terminal 132 or members belonging to the group through the mobile communication network 130 according to the reply range setting (S1216). ).

13 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sending or receiving a group multimedia message through the web.

The GMMS subscriber accesses the web site of the GMMS server 110 through the Internet 140 using the client computers 142 and 144, and logs in with his GMMS web account (S1302).

When the client computers 142 and 144 connect, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page including a plurality of menus for GMMS through the web / mail server 119 (S1304).

The GMMS subscriber operates the client computers 142 and 144 to select a group message composition menu (S1306).

When the group message creation menu is selected from the client computers 142 and 144, the GMMS server 110 provides a web page for selecting a destination group to receive a message and inputting contents for a message to be written (S1308).

The GMMS subscriber selects the destination group by using the client computers 142 and 144 according to the web page guide. At this time, the GMMS group whose "group sharing attribute" is set to non-sharing cannot be selected from the guest GMMS group.

The GMMS subscriber selects a destination group by using the client computers 142 and 144, and composes and inputs a group multimedia message (S1310). Of course, the GMMS subscriber can select and enter one of the group multimedia messages he has already written. In addition, the GMMS subscriber may set a message transmission priority, a message subject, a sending time (reserved transmission), a notification range, a reply range, etc. according to a web page guide.

The GMMS server 130 stores the input group multimedia message in a message box of the called GMMS group (S1312), sets a callback URL tag for the corresponding group multimedia message, and among the members of the called GMMS group. The notification message is sent to the members whose reception attribute is "Yes" (1314).
