이제, 첨부한 도면을 참고로 하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 대하여 자세히 설명한다.Now, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 음성을 이용한 전자우편 검색 및 청취 방법을 구현하기 위한 전체 시스템의 구성도이다.1 is a block diagram of an entire system for implementing a method for searching and listening to an e-mail using voice according to the present invention.
본 발명의 음성을 이용한 전자우편 검색 및 청취 시스템(100)은 외부의 전자우편 서버(200)와 연결되어 전자우편 서버(200)로부터 원하는 정보를 전달받을 수있으며, 사용자의 요청에 따라 원하는 전자우편을 검색할 수 있는 전자우편 검색기(110)와 사용자 정보 및 사용자의 전자우편 데이터를 보관하고 있는 데이터베이스(130) 및 사용자가 음성을 이용해 제어할 수 있는 VoiceXML 브라우저(120)를 포함하여 이루어진다. VoiceXML 브라우저(120)는 전화 등을 이용해 사용자로부터 전달되는 음성을 입력받아 이를 처리한 후 처리 결과를 음성으로 사용자에게 제공해줄 수 있다.E-mail search and listening system 100 using the voice of the present invention is connected to the external e-mail server 200 can receive the desired information from the e-mail server 200, the desired e-mail at the request of the user It includes an e-mail searcher 110 that can search for and a database 130 that stores user information and e-mail data of the user, and VoiceXML browser 120 that the user can control using voice. The VoiceXML browser 120 may receive a voice transmitted from the user by using a telephone, process the same, and provide the processing result to the user as a voice.
전자우편 검색 및 청취 시스템(100)의 전자우편 검색기(110)는 POP3(Post Office Protocol - version 3)을 이용하여 외부의 전자우편 서버(200)로부터 전자우편 데이터를 가지고 올 수 있으며, 전자우편 서버(200)로부터 받은 데이터는 ODBC(Open Database Connectivity)를 이용하여 시스템 내부의 데이터베이스(130)에 저장된다.The e-mail searcher 110 of the e-mail search and listening system 100 may bring e-mail data from an external e-mail server 200 using a post office protocol-version 3 (POP3). Data received from the 200 is stored in the database 130 in the system using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity).
도 2는 본 발명의 전자우편 검색 및 청취 시스템(100)을 이용하여 전자우편을 검색하고 청취하는 방법을 나타내는 흐름도이다.2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for searching and listening to email using the email searching and listening system 100 of the present invention.
본 발명에 따른 음성을 이용한 전자우편 검색 및 청취 방법을 이용하기 위하여 사용자는 먼저 자신의 전자우편 계정 정보를 포함하는 사용자 정보를 등록하여야 한다(S210). 이러한 사용자 정보의 등록은 본 발명의 방법을 최초로 이용할 때에 한 번만 등록하면 되며, 추후 정보의 변경이 있을 때에는 변경 등록할 수 있다.In order to use the method for searching and listening to an e-mail using voice according to the present invention, a user must first register user information including his or her e-mail account information (S210). The registration of such user information only needs to be registered once when the method of the present invention is used for the first time, and the change can be registered when there is a change of information later.
이제, 사용자가 등록한 사용자 정보를 이용하여 전자우편 검색 및 청취 시스템(100)의 전자우편 검색기(110)는 외부의 전자우편 서버(200)로부터 사용자의 전자우편을 가져와 내부의 데이터베이스(130)에 저장한다(S220).Now, using the user information registered by the user, the email searcher 110 of the email searching and listening system 100 obtains the user's email from the external email server 200 and stores it in the internal database 130. (S220).
사용자는 전화 등을 이용하여 음성으로 VoiceXML 브라우저(120)에 원하는 검색 조건을 입력한다(S230). 검색 조건은 보낸 사람, 전자우편을 받은 시각, 제목 등 다양한 방식으로 지정할 수 있다.The user inputs a desired search condition into the VoiceXML browser 120 by voice using a telephone or the like (S230). Search conditions can be specified in a variety of ways, including the sender, the time the email was received, and the subject.
사용자로부터 검색 조건을 입력받은 VoiceXML 브라우저(120)는 이를 해당하는 CGI 프로그램에 전달하여 사용자의 요청에 따른 전자우편을 검색한다(S240). 해당하는 CGI 프로그램은 전자우편 검색기(110)일 수도 있다.VoiceXML browser 120 receives a search condition from the user delivers it to the corresponding CGI program to search for an e-mail according to the user's request (S240). The corresponding CGI program may be an email searcher 110.
검색 결과 사용자가 입력한 조건에 맞는 전자우편이 있는 경우 해당 전자우편 데이터를 VoiceXML 문서로 만들고 VoiceXML 브라우저(120)가 이 VoiceXML문서를 음성으로 사용자에게 들려준다(S250). 조건에 맞는 데이터가 없는 경우에는 조건에 맞는 검색 결과가 없다는 것을 VoiceXML 문서로 만들어 VoiceXML 브라우저(120)가 사용자에게 음성으로 알려준다(S260).As a result of the search, if there is an e-mail that meets the user's input condition, the e-mail data is made into a VoiceXML document, and the VoiceXML browser 120 voices the VoiceXML document to the user (S250). If there is no data matching the condition, the VoiceXML browser 120 notifies the user by making a VoiceXML document that there is no search result matching the condition (S260).
지금까지 본 발명을 바람직한 실시예를 들어 구체적으로 설명하였으나, 이 실시예는 본 발명을 이해하기 위한 설명을 위해 제시된 것이며, 본 발명의 범위가 이 실시예에 제한되는 것은 아니다. 본 발명의 기술이 속하는 분야의 통상의 전문가라면 본 발명의 기술적 사상의 범위를 벗어나지 않고도 다양한 변형이 가능함을 이해할 수 있을 것이며, 본 발명의 범위는 첨부된 특허청구범위에 의해서 해석되어야 할 것이다.Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, this embodiment has been presented for the purpose of understanding the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be interpreted by the appended claims.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명을 이용하면 전화를 이용하여 전자우편을 음성으로 검색하고 청취할 수 있다. 따라서, 이동 중에도 전자우편을 확인할 수 있으며, 원하는 전자우편만을 검색할 수 있으므로 좀 더 빠른 전자우편 청취가 가능하게 하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention enables the user to search and listen to the e-mail by voice using a telephone. Therefore, the e-mail can be checked while moving, and only the desired e-mail can be searched, thereby making it possible to listen to the e-mail faster.
