Description

[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BLOCKING SPAM IN A WIRELESS TERMINAL [0002]

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for performing a validity check on a calling number for blocking spam in a wireless terminal.

The development of the telecommunications industry has given the user the opportunity to provide a great deal of information quickly and accurately. However, as a reaction to this, the user is provided with information that he or she does not want.

In particular, considering the fact that personal information is being used through various routes, exposure of personal information such as a telephone number is accompanied by an inconvenience of receiving a large amount of unsolicited letters, messages, telephone calls, and conversation requests. In addition, the inconvenience caused by spam can not be avoided in a situation where the time for using the wireless terminal gradually increases.

Accordingly, a user using a wireless terminal has made various efforts to block unwanted spam, but it is not easy to effectively block the spam.

An embodiment of the present invention discloses an apparatus and method for providing a validity check of an origination number according to a setting condition in a wireless terminal.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an apparatus and method for generating and updating a setting condition for validating a calling number in a wireless terminal.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an apparatus and method for checking the validity of a calling number using a setting condition provided in a wireless terminal based on a blocking list, a structure of a calling number, and whether or not the calling number is opened.

A method for validating a calling number in a wireless terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: determining whether a calling number of a received character satisfies a setting condition; if the calling number satisfies the setting condition, And a step of registering the origination number of the received spam-processed character in a block list,

If the calling number is a telephone number registered in the block list, does not have a valid telephone number structure, corresponds to a non-opening number, or is a telephone number for which the calling party has requested to be prohibited from ringing, the calling number satisfies the setting condition It is a process of judging that it is done.

The wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a communication unit connected to a communication network and performing communication with an external device, a display unit displaying an operation state of the wireless terminal, a memory unit storing a calling number blocking list, And a controller for performing a validity check on a calling number of a received character provided from the communication unit and performing a spam processing on the received character according to the validation result,

Here, if the calling number is registered in the block list, does not have a valid phone number structure, or corresponds to a non-opening number, or if the calling number is a phone number to which the calling party has requested to be prohibited from ringing, the calling number satisfies the setting condition The received character is spam-processed, and the originating number of the spam-processed received character is registered in the blocked list.

In the proposed embodiment, it is possible to obtain the effect of providing the communication service with the counterpart terminal of the valid phone number to the user through validation of the calling number in the wireless terminal.

In addition, the effect obtained or estimated by the embodiment of the present invention will be directly or implicitly disclosed in the detailed description of the embodiment of the present invention. That is, various effects estimated according to the embodiment of the present invention will be disclosed in the detailed description to be described later.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a detailed structure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG.
FIG. 3 illustrates a control flow performed by a wireless terminal in order to verify the validity of a calling number according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, for convenience of description of the present invention, the names of the entities defined may be used equally. However, the names used for convenience of description do not limit the rights according to the present invention, and it is needless to say that they can be applied to the system having the similar technical background by the same or easy modification.

In the detailed description of the proposed embodiment, which will be described later, the wireless terminal will validate the originating number contained in the received character and initiate a specific operation for the method of spamming the received character based on the validation result .

The wireless terminal can set a condition for validity of the calling number. For example, the conditions for the validity check include whether the calling number is registered in the block list, whether the structure of the calling number has a valid phone number structure, whether the calling number is the opening number, and whether the calling number is prohibited by the caller It can be whether or not it has been requested.

The blacklist may be created or updated by registration by the user or by registration of an invalid originating number. The blocking list may be provided by an external device.

The valid phone number structure conforms to rules established for assigning telephone numbers to wireless terminals. Therefore, the calling number must have a valid telephone number structure. For example, when the telephone number of the wireless terminal starts with '010', the station number must consist of four digits. If the originating number starts with '010', but the next station number is three digits, the validity of the corresponding originating number may be denied.

The rule information for the valid phone number structure may be provided from an authentication server provided in a communication company server or a number movement authentication center. In this case, the wireless terminal can generate or update the condition using the rule information provided from the communication company server or the authentication server.

The opening number refers to a telephone number issued by subscribing to a specific communication company according to a normal procedure. Whether the origination number is the opening number or the non-opening number can be confirmed by the authentication server provided in the communication company server or the number movement authentication center. That is, the wireless terminal transmits the origination number to the verification server using pre-registered location information (URL: Uniform Resource Locator), and in response to the verification information, It is possible to judge whether it is the opening number.

The verification server may be one of a communication company server or an authentication server, or may be collectively referred to as all servers.

The termination prohibition means that the user is allowed to send his or her own telephone number and that the incoming call is impossible. In this case, when a character is transmitted to the corresponding originating number or when a call is made, a message 'the number is the blocked number is received' is issued and the calling of the terminal is blocked.

The determination as to whether the origination number has a valid phone number structure, the determination as to whether the origination number is a valid number, and the determination as to whether or not the called number is a forbidden number can be made by whether a normal call is connected when the wireless terminal calls the origination number .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a structure of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Although only one terminal 110, one base station 120, one authentication server 140, and one communication company server 150 are shown in FIG. 1, it may be configured as more than one entity. It will be. For example, when there are a plurality of communication companies providing wireless communication services, a communication company server may be provided for each communication company. In this case, an authentication server may also be provided for each communication company.

Referring to FIG. 1, a terminal 110 is a device for providing a wireless communication service to a user through a base station 120. The terminal 110 receives a character from the base station 120 and determines validity of a calling number included in the received character based on a setting condition. The setting conditions for the validity determination include whether or not the calling number is registered in the block list, whether the structure of the calling number has a valid phone number structure, whether the calling number is the opening number, .

The terminal 110 may collect, generate, or update setting conditions for determining validity, such as information input by a user and information provided from the outside.

For example, the block list may be created or updated by registration by the user or by registration of an invalid originating number. The rule information for the valid phone number structure may be provided from the communication company server 150 or the authentication server 140. In this case, the terminal 110 may be provided from the communication company server 150 or the authentication server 140 The condition can be created or updated using the rule information. Whether the origination number is the opening number or the non-opening number can be confirmed by the communication company server 150 or the authentication server 140. The calling number can be confirmed by the corresponding communication company server 150 or the authentication server 140, which is a telephone call whose reception is blocked.

Whether the calling number is a valid phone number structure or whether the calling number is the opening number or the calling number is the prohibited phone number can be confirmed even when the terminal 110 calls the calling number and whether a normal call is connected It can be possible.

The base station 120 provides the corresponding character to the terminal 110 when there is a character requested to be transmitted to the terminal 110 through the network 130. [ The characters provided to the terminal 110 by the base station 120 generally include a calling number assigned to the calling terminal. However, the originating number may not necessarily match the telephone number assigned to the originating terminal.

The authentication server 140 manages information on subscribers subscribed to the wireless communication service through a normal procedure and responds to a request from an external device such as the communication company server 150 and the terminal 110 having authority And performs authentication for a specific subscriber. For example, when the authentication server 140 requests the terminal 110 or the communication company server 150 to confirm whether a specific calling number is a telephone number assigned to a normal subscriber or a telephone number of a subscriber whose reception is prohibited, In response, the terminal 110 or the communication company server 150 is notified whether the calling number is opened or not.

The authentication server 140 may manage rule information on a valid phone number structure and may provide the latest rule information at the request of the terminal 110 or the communication company server 150.

The communication company server 150 performs overall management for providing a wireless communication service to the terminal 110. The communication company server 150 manages information on a subscriber subscribed to a wireless communication service provided by its own communication company through a normal procedure, and in response to a request from the terminal 110 having authority, As shown in FIG. For example, when the communication server 150 requests the terminal 110 to confirm whether a specific calling number is a telephone number assigned to a normal subscriber or a telephone number of a subscriber whose reception is prohibited, And informs the terminal 110 of whether or not the call is prohibited.

The communication company server 150 may obtain the answer by inquiring the authentication server 140 to confirm whether the specific origination number is opened or blocked.

The communication company server 140 may manage the rule information for the effective telephone number structure defined by its own communication company and may provide the latest rule information at the request of the terminal 110 or the communication company server 150. [

FIG. 2 shows an example of a detailed structure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2. Description of the Related Art [0002] Generally, a terminal has more configurations for a wireless communication service. However, in FIG. 2, only configurations that are considered necessary in the proposed embodiment are shown for convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIG. 2, the communication unit 220 performs communication with an external device by connection with a network. The display unit 230 displays the operation status of the wireless terminal. The memory 240 manages control programs for providing various functions to be performed by the terminal and information required for the control programs. For example, the memory 240 stores a calling number blocking list that is generated and updated for validation of the calling number.

The control unit 210 validates the origination number of the received character provided from the communication unit 220 and spam the received character according to the validation result.

For example, if the calling number is a telephone number registered in a block list, a telephone number structure that does not have a valid telephone number structure, or a telephone number corresponding to a non-opening number or an incoming call is prohibited, It is judged to be satisfied. If it is determined that the calling number satisfies the setting condition, the control unit 210 performs a spam processing on the received character. For example, the spam processing may discard the received character.

If the blocking list has already been generated, the control unit 210 adds the calling number of the received spam-processed text to the corresponding blocking list. If the blocking list has not been generated, the control unit 210 generates a blocking list based on the origination number of the spam-processed received document. The control unit 210 may process the updated or generated block list so that the block list can be managed by the memory 240. [

The controller 210 may control the communication unit 220 to provide a rule condition for a valid phone number structure from an authentication server or a communication company server to provide a setting condition. The control unit 210 can generate or update the setting condition using the rule information for the valid phone number structure provided from the authentication server or the communication company server.

The control unit 210 controls the communication unit 220 to determine whether the calling number is a non-opened number or a phone number for which call reception is prohibited, and transmits the verification result to the verification server 220 using the registered location information (URL: Uniform Resource Locator) To the calling party. The control unit 210 determines whether the calling number is a non-opening number or a opening number based on the confirmation information provided from the verification server through the communication unit 220, determines whether the incoming call is prohibited or not, do. The verification server may refer to both an authentication server or a communication company server, or both an authentication server and a communication company server.

The control unit 210 controls the communication unit 220 to make a call to the calling number so as to determine whether the calling number is the opened telephone number or the calling number is the prohibited telephone number, It can be recognized that the calling number is the opening number or the phone number to which the incoming call is not prohibited. However, when a normal response is not made, the controller 210 may recognize that the calling number is a non-opened number or a phone number for which call reception is prohibited.

FIG. 3 illustrates a control flow performed by a wireless terminal in order to verify the validity of a calling number according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the wireless terminal determines in step 310 whether the validity of the origination number is necessary. For example, the wireless terminal may determine that the validity of the calling number is required when a character receiving, an incoming call, a conversation request, or the like occurs. When there is a variety of services requiring validation of the origination number, the user may select only the services determined to require validity of the origination number among various services so that the originating number validity determination is performed.

If it is determined that the calling number validity check is not required, the wireless terminal performs normal processing for the corresponding service in step 316. [ In other words, the received character can be processed as a normal character, the incoming call can be treated as a normal call received, or the chat request can be processed as a normal chat request.

If it is determined that the calling number validity check is required, the wireless terminal performs a validity check on the calling number in step 312.

For example, the wireless terminal determines whether the calling number is registered in the blocking list, determines whether the calling number has a valid phone number structure, determines whether the calling number is a non-opening number, It is judged whether it is a forbidden telephone number. If the calling number satisfies only one of the four defined conditions, the wireless terminal can conclude that the corresponding calling number is not a valid number.

The wireless terminal may directly attempt to make a call to the calling number to verify that the calling number is a valid number. In this case, the wireless terminal may recognize that the calling number is a valid number when a normal response is made to the calling attempt. However, if the normal response is not made, the wireless terminal may recognize that the calling number is an invalid number.

The wireless terminal can create or update the setting condition for the above-described operation. For example, the calling number determined to be an invalid number may be added to the block list, or the setting condition may be prepared or updated by the rule information on the valid phone number structure provided from the authentication server or the communication company server. In addition, the wireless terminal transmits a call origination number to an authentication server or a communication company server using a URL registered in advance, thereby requesting the wireless terminal to determine whether the call origination number is an open call number or a call origination number, You can also ask for

When the validity of the origination number is completed, the wireless terminal determines whether the corresponding origination number is a valid number according to the validity check result in step 314.

If it is determined that the calling number is a valid number, the wireless terminal proceeds to step 316 and performs a normal process for the corresponding service. In other words, the received character can be processed as a normal character, the incoming call can be treated as a normal call received, or the chat request can be processed as a normal chat request.

If it is determined that the calling number is not a valid number, the wireless terminal proceeds to step 318 and performs a spam processing function for spamming the calling number. For example, the spam processing for the origination number corresponds to discarding the received document, rejecting the incoming call, or rejecting the conversation request.

When the spam processing is completed, the wireless terminal determines in step 320 whether the spam number registration function is activated. The spam number registration function registers the spam-processed originating number as a spam number in a block list. The spam number registration function may be set to be activated at the request of the user. Otherwise, after the spam processing is completed, the wireless terminal inquires whether the spam number registration is necessary to the user, and may determine whether to request the spam number registration according to the user's response thereto.

If there is a request for registration of a spam number, the wireless terminal registers the origination number processed as a spam in step 322 as a spam number in a block list. Accordingly, when the document, the incoming call, the conversation request, etc. are made again from the calling number registered as the spam number, the wireless terminal can confirm that the calling number is not a valid number.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the illustrated embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof. In addition, these modifications should not be understood individually from the technical idea or viewpoint of the present invention.
