What at first must one carry is that more existing telephone systems are supported has one to be commonly referred to as dial peer identification (Caller IDentification, service CID).This CID service can provide CID user's (that is, reception person) dialing person's data, and data is shown on CID user's the receiver terminal device, and it is a CID telephone set that has liquid crystal display (LCD) panel normally.Dialing person's data generally comprise dialing person's telephone number, and some system more supports the literal transfer function so that transmission dialing person's name and transmission time and date.Apparently, utilize the framework of this CID service, can provide the Email user do not need initiatively online can obtain about the information of Email may, and its key just shows Email Information by email provider was provided at the display interface with CID.
Fig. 2 is the identification of demonstration Email (Email IDentification, EID) Organization Chart of employing system 200 of data institute of one embodiment of the invention.System 200 includes Internet Service Provider or email provider 210, and it provides the Email supply, as mail server; Communication network 250; Communications network service supplier 220, as telephone operator; And receiving terminal 230, it has display floater 240 usually.In the present embodiment, system 200 is a kind of being used for from email provider 210 via communication network 250 transmission of e-mail originators' EID data EID (email identification) system to receiving terminal 230.If 220 telephone operators of above-mentioned Internet service provider then include and adopt a telephone wire is the communication network 250 of a transmission pipeline.But, communication network 250 between email provider 210 and receiving terminal 230 of the present invention is except telephone wire, can also adopt various wired or wireless communication networks, wired communication network can also be camera cable or various cable, and wireless communication network then can be satellite communication network or mobile telephone communications network network etc.
Subsidiary one what carry is that above-mentioned system can be considered as the combination of two kinds of systems: one is the system that a kind of email provider is transmitted the Email recognition data, and another then is the system that a kind of user of assistance obtains new e-mail information.Say that further previous system comprises at least: a modulating device and a transmitting device, wherein modulating device is to be used for conversion electron mail recognition data to transmission signals, and transmitting device is to be used to transmit the receiving terminal that transmits signals to the user.A kind of system in back comprises a receiving system at least, one analytical equipment and a display unit, wherein receiving system is in order to be received from the transmission signals that email provider transmits, analytical equipment is in order to transmission signals being converted to the Email recognition data, and display unit is to be used to show recognition data.
What must one carry is, the system that aforesaid assistance user obtains new e-mail information also can comprise engaging means, in order to when receiving the notice that EID will receive, be responsible for connecting with email provider between be connected.In addition, because the user may busyly fail to read recognition data, therefore the running that aforesaid email provider is transmitted the system of Email recognition data also can be included in when failing to set up with being connected of receiving terminal in the intended duration, just cuts off being connected of email provider and receiving terminal; And one wait for the time limit after, rebulid being connected of email provider and receiving terminal, and then the transmission transmission signals.Wherein intended duration all is adjustable with the wait time limit.Certainly this system also can further be included in and receive the reaction information that transmits from receiving terminal, automatically the Email recognition data is sent to receiving terminal.
Except above-mentioned, the system that so-called email provider is transmitted the Email recognition data also can comprise a filter, this filter is in order to when finding to meet the predefined deletion condition of user, just stops to convert recognition data to transmission signals; Perhaps, just convert recognition data to this transmission signals having only discovery to meet the predefined enabled condition of user.Apparently, filter is to be used for allowing email provider transmit the Email recognition data according to each user's demand.
Certainly, filter also can not be arranged on email provider one end but at user's one end, and this moment, filter was used for when finding that meeting the predefined deletion condition of user just stops to convert transmission signals to recognition data; Perhaps have only discovery to meet the predefined enabled condition of user and just convert transmission signals to recognition data.Since the Email recognition data may comprise at least sender's name, date, time, sender's Email address, Email communication theme, specific code or even whole part of Email, as long as the information relevant with this Email all can, so above-mentioned enabled condition and deletion condition can be set according to the content type of recognition data, and the content type of the Email recognition data of its transmission or reception also can be set selection.In addition, for increasing user's ease of use, allow the user can select to want to receive the Email recognition data, the employed assistance of user user obtains the new e-mail information system also can comprise a switching device, system just stops to receive transmission signals when switching device cuts out, and system just can be used for receiving transmission signals when switching device is opened.
In running, the invention provides the method that a kind of demonstration is stored in the Email recognition data of an e-mail accounts, it can show the up-to-date Email recognition data on this e-mail accounts under the situation that need not initiatively start computer or need not initiatively dial up on the telephone.This method comprises the following steps: at least
Step 1 receives Email in Email supply 210.
Step 2, convert the recognition data stream (data stream) of Email to a transmission signals, for example adopt a frequency shift keying (Frequency Shift Keying, FSK) form, a double-tone multifrequency (Dual Tone Multifrequency, DTMF) form, a universal asynchronous reception and transmission (Universal Asynchronous Receiver And Transmitter, UART) form or any form that transmits.The recognition data of Email can comprise a date, a time, a sender's e-mail address, a sender name, the communication theme or a specific code of Email, for example telephone number of email provider.It should be noted that at this each of above-mentioned recognition data is all optional, and NM project can add to also in the word string of recognition data, even whole part of Email.By way of parenthesis, this email provider is the transmission signals that transmits this Email at a special time.
Step 3 originates in the transmission signals that is combined with one first signal and at least one secondary signal of email provider 210 to receiving terminal 230 via the communication network transmission.Wherein, first signal can be a ringing signal, a user preset device alarm signal (Customer-premise-equipmentAlerting Signal, CAS) or no signal.Similarly, secondary signal can be a ringing signal or no signal.
Step 4 receives above-mentioned first signal, transmission signals and secondary signal in receiving terminal 230.
Step 5, this transmission signals is changed back the recognition data stream of original electronic mail, and the recognition data of demonstration Email is on the display floater 240 of receiving terminal 230, for example show one from yueho@pacbell.net on the display floater 240, the greeting mail that themes as " HAPPY Y2K ", the time and date of its transmission then are 00:00 January 1 2000 Christian era in morning.
Certainly, the recognition data of this method shows except can image, literal, figure or the sound of video data, also can be alert notification signal output informing that receiving terminal has new Email, at least can be in the kind of this alert notification signal for sound, the tinkle of bells, music, color break-up are shown, printed words or symbol; Also can be above-mentioned Email recognition data is stored, treat that the receiving terminal inquiry just passes on out with visual information or audible information.
Apparently, it is the combination of two methods that this method also can be considered as, be respectively that a kind of email provider that corresponds to first three step of this method initiatively provides the method for user's new e-mail information, and a kind of (the Email user) that correspond to other step of this method obtain the method for new e-mail information.
In addition, because the user may be busy fails to read recognition data, so this method is just cut off the connection of receiving terminal therewith of this email provider still can be included in the connection of failing to set up receiving terminal therewith in the intended duration time; And be included in one wait the time limit after, rebulid the connection of receiving terminal therewith of this email provider, and then transmit this transmission signals.The two all is adjustable with waiting the time limit at this intended duration.This method also can further be included in and receive behind the reaction information that receiving terminal transmits in addition, automatically the Email recognition data is sent to receiving terminal; And also can comprise the user again after receiving recognition data, obtain Email by network (communication network) from email provider.
Illustrate, in telephonic communication system, the EID receiving end device is when on-hook (on hook), dial the phone that comes if receive email provider, promptly knowing has the Email recognition data to send here, then the EID receiving end device can automatic off-hook (Off Hook), and email provider one detects from the reaction information of EID receiving end device and can determine that both sides connect, and just can send the Email recognition data to the EID receiving end device.But if the EID receiving end device is just in off-hook conversation, and makes and in intended duration, can't connect, then can after waiting the time limit, dial again again to attempt that both sides can be connected through one.In addition, during if the EID receiving end device is being conversed, but have peg graft in the words (callwaiting) or tripartite talk function, then the EID receiving end device is when receiving the notice that the Email recognition data will be sent here, just can notify the user in modes such as image or sound notifications, as " you havea new mail " or bleep, this moment, whether the user can select will receive immediately.
Certainly, because, may relating to paying problem, user to transmit and the Email practice for information about, above-mentioned both sides' closing of the circuit may wish not to be bothered or only to think to grasp immediately some Email to get final product problems such as (as job informations) by some Email (as advertisement etc.).Therefore this method comprises that also email provider filters earlier before transmitting recognition data, every its transmission signals of the neither transmission of Email that meets the predefined deletion condition of user, or the Email that only meets the predefined enabled condition of user just transmits transmission signals.Certainly, such filtration practice not necessarily will be carried out and also can carry out at user's one end at Email feed end one end.Just stop to convert transmission signals to recognition data when finding to meet the predefined deletion condition of user this moment one; Perhaps have only and find to meet the predefined enabled condition of user, just convert transmission signals to recognition data.
Moreover, embodiment shown in Figure 2 means that email provider 210 can cooperate Internet service provider 220 to come the recognition data of conversion electron mail to transmission signals, and transmit this transmission signals to receiving terminal 230, wherein transmission signals can comprise more information, as the advertising message of email provider or other electronic information as news, the stock market, meteorological, amusement, commercial affairs, life information, motion, the astrology, traffic or the like, the system that all can utilize this electronic information to transmit, and the user more can be set in special time obtain want the electronic information obtained, as seeing the stock market 10 of mornings.Yet, email provider 210 also can be utilized existing Internet service provider 220, support the service of dial peer identification (CID) as telephone operator, a system architecture diagram that is adopted for the demonstration Email recognition data of another embodiment of the present invention as Fig. 3, wherein email provider 210 is utilized form that existing CID provides or communication protocol to transmit Email Information (EID) and is given the user, as long as in original CID receiver terminal device 330, set the specific code of email provider 210, its telephone number for example, and modification control circuit such as microprocessor wherein, the program software of microcontroller or modification control circuit, then dial when having notified Email when receiving email provider, can show corresponding informance as " you have new email " on Display Panel 340.This kind practice is simpler, but is subject to the service that existing Internet service provider (as telephone operator) can provide, and its information that can provide is also relatively few.
Fig. 4 shows the example of signal transmission, and it transmits Email identification (CID) signal and two groups of ringing signals that the frequency shift keying form is adopted in a user preset device alarm signal (CAS), in regular turn.The frequency shift keying data flow of transmission comprises that a passage range gate capture (channel seizuresignal) is arranged, it act as the notice receiving terminal, and the Email recognition data and information will arrive at afterwards at the marking signal that contains a succession of " 1 " character (mark signal).This marking signal system is used for the starting point of identification one data message.Above-mentioned data message also comprises a series of Email recognition data bag, and each packet system is made up of a start bit, 8 bit data and a position of rest.The end of frequency shift keying data flow is to be its receiving terminal with verification and signal (checksum signal), behind the transmission of e-mail recognition data and information.Verification and signal are the correctness that is used for guaranteeing receiving terminal received data information, that is the use of verification and signal can provide error detection.
Moreover, be shown in the receiving terminal 230,330 among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, it is Email identification receiving terminal machine, when combining with telephone system, comprising Email identification (EID) telephone set or Email identification servicing unit (Adjunct-Box, AJ-Box).Email identification telephone set or Email identification servicing unit can adopt traditional dial peer to know (CID) telephone set or dial peer identification servicing unit in addition, and it has control circuit such as microprocessor, microcontroller of improveing or the program software of revising control circuit.Fig. 5 A and 5B are the structure chart of the embodiment of Email identification receiving terminal machine of the present invention, it comprises a control circuit 500 so that handle Email recognition data stream, and a tinkle of bells detector 510, a FSK decoder 520, a CAS decoder 350 and a dtmf decoder 540 electrical couplings are between line input and control circuit 500.The display floater 240 that has display driver 550 is also included within this structure.Moreover, this structure can also comprise an audio playing apparatus (not being shown in figure) that is used for playing above-mentioned audible information, Fig. 5 B structure also comprises engaging means 560, and in order to when receiving the notice that EID will receive, responsible foundation is connected with email provider.
Operational flowchart among Fig. 6.This operational flowchart is that the present invention one implements one of example of running.At first, control circuit is put Email identification receiving terminal machine in a wait state (waiting step 600), detects the arrival (detecting step 610) of a signal then at any time.When an arriving signal was detected, control circuit can judge whether signal finishes (first determining step 620).Subsequently, judge whether this arriving signal adopts EID communication protocol or form (second determining step 630).When signal format was confirmed, just received signal and judgement received and whether finish (the 3rd determining step 640).At last, Email identification is shown in (step display 650) on the display floater.
In this operation for simplifying, can also be included in receive transmission signals after, transmit reaction information automatically to email provider, require email provider automatically E-mail conveyance to be come thus.Certainly the user also can obtain Email by communication network from email provider again after reading recognition data.
Except above-mentioned method and system, the present invention also proposes a kind of Email recognition data transmission method, in order to confirm whether the user can receive the Email recognition data.As shown in Figure 7, this Email recognition data transmission method comprises the following steps: at first at least, receive Email (first receiving step 701), and when Email newly occurs, what just transmission originated in email provider transmits signals to this Email preassigned receiving terminal of pairing user (transmitting step 702), next, when in intended duration, receiving the reaction information that receiving terminal since then transmits (second receiving step 703), just the recognition data that transmits this Email is receiving terminal (transmission step 704) so far, otherwise just cuts off be connected (the cut-out step 705) of email provider and receiving terminal earlier.Certainly, the present invention also can be included in again one wait the time limit after, rebulid being connected of email provider and receiving terminal again, and then the transmission notice signal; This method also can comprise the user after receiving notification signal again, is connected to email provider to obtain Email.By way of parenthesis, intended duration and wait time limit are two adjustable parameters in the method; And so-called reaction signal from receiving terminal can only be the state of this receiving terminal change (such as becoming off hook state off hook) from phone hook state on hook generation signal and do not need specific specification.
By the discussion of front as can be seen, the method and system of electronic information transmission proposed by the invention and Email identification is to be used for when user's e-mail box has new mail, automatically transmit this mail recognition data and hold display visual information or audible information, make the user to consult Email immediately according to the information that shows the user.Moreover, can also determine earlier before transmission whether the user will receive transmission again.Conspicuous, the present invention can reach the user and need not initiatively start computer, need not initiatively dial up on the telephone, saves resource, save time, increase work efficiency, can not waste user's purpose such as number and telephone charges when dialling.Just can know whether the user email mailbox has new mail.
