As shown in FIG. 1, a system for providing a short message group transmission service according to the present invention includes an SMS server 100 and a short message management server 200, and includes a calling terminal 10 and a called terminal 20. To provide services.

The calling terminal 10 collectively refers to a mobile terminal (PDA, cellular phone, etc.) that can be connected to a mobile communication network and / or an Internet Protocol (IP) terminal (eg, a computer, a notebook, etc.) that can be connected to the Internet. The called terminal 20 collectively refers to a terminal (eg, a mobile phone) capable of receiving an SMS message.

The SMS server 100 is a short message service center (SMSC), which is connected to a mobile switching center (MSC) and a signal transfer point (STP) of a mobile communication network, and is connected to the Internet. It is connected. SMS server 100 has a Voice Mail System (VMS), web-based messaging, e-mail integration, and other external short message entities (ESMEs). The SMS server 100 receives an SMS message, and the SMS message is received through a mobile communication network according to a mobile phone transmission request, or in response to a transmission request from a messenger program (eg, Nate On, MSN Messenger, Buddy Buddy, etc.). Along the Internet.

Upon receiving the SMS message, the SMS server 100 checks the incoming phone number field of the message, and when the group ID information is recorded in the incoming phone number field, the SMS server 100 accesses the short message management server 200 to correspond to the group ID. It may have a group information acquisition function for obtaining the phone number information.

Short character management server 200 is connected to the Internet can be connected to the Internet terminal, mobile phone and SMS server 100. The short character management server 200 sets the phone numbers of a plurality of others into one group according to a user's designation, generates a unique group ID for the set group, and provides the group ID to the user's terminal. . In addition, the character management server 200 provides a function that allows the visitor to edit (eg, modify, add, delete, etc.) the phone numbers of others included in their group.

Here, the group ID is a number, symbol, special character, or a combination thereof that differentiates the telephone number. For the sake of security, the short letter management server 200 may provide a user with a group ID included in a user's designated / selected alias to prevent another person or the user from verifying the group ID.

Meanwhile, the present invention may perform the group information acquisition function in the MSC of the mobile communication network instead of the SMS server 100. That is, according to the present invention, when the SMS message is received at the switching center (MSC), and the group ID information is recorded in the called phone number field of the received SMS message, the present invention connects to the character management server 200 and corresponds to the group ID. It may have a group information acquisition function for obtaining the phone number information. In this case, the same number of SMS messages as the number of group members matched with the group ID are transmitted from the exchange to the SMS server 100, and the recipient's phone number is displayed in the called phone number field of the SMS message transmitted to the SMS server 100. It is recorded.

Then, the short character management server 200 may further have a function of notifying the sender of the transmission result for each group member after transmitting the same SMS message to the group member. This function allows the sender to check the message group transmission result and to facilitate the later action.

The user manager 210 performs a service registration and release function for each user according to a request of a user connected through a mobile communication network or the Internet. Service registration is to obtain information such as personal identification information of the user, personal information, the type of the user terminal from the user and register it in the member information DB 250, the service release is stored at the time of service registration from the user DB 250 One is to delete various information. In addition, the user manager 210 performs a user authentication process for checking whether the accessor is a user who can edit the group information. In this case, it is preferable to use the personal identification information for user authentication.

The personal identification information obtained at the time of service registration is preferably a mobile phone number of the mobile phone, but may be other identification information (eg, an ESN (Electrical Serial Number), etc.) for identifying the user's mobile phone.

The group information editing unit 220 allows a user to edit group information stored or stored in the group DB 260 such as registration, addition, modification, and deletion. The group information editing unit 220 provides an editing function to a user who has successfully authenticated a user.

When a new group is designated by the group information editing unit 220 and stored in the group DB 260, the group ID generation unit 230 generates a group ID for the new group and provides the generated group ID to the user. Here, the group ID may be unique for each individual but may be the same for each individual. For example, the group ID generation unit 230 may generate and provide the same group ID 1234 to A and B.

The information provider 240 finds and provides group information of a specific person stored in the group DB 260 according to a group information request of an external device. At this time, the information providing unit 240 finds and provides corresponding group information stored in the group DB 260 using the personal identification information and the group ID.

The member information DB 250 stores various information obtained from the user at the time of user registration. The group DB 260 stores group member information (eg, mobile phone number) of a group designated by each user.

Specifically, the information stored in the group DB 260 has the form shown in FIG. 3 is a view showing group information managed by the character management server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the group DB 260 stores an information table consisting of a user telephone number (ie, an outgoing telephone number), a group ID, and group information. According to the information table shown in Fig. 3, the group information is stored in correspondence with the outgoing telephone number and the group ID. Here, the user may register at least one or more user mobile phone numbers, and may also register one or more groups with respect to one mobile phone number. At this time, each user may have the same group ID.

Referring to the contents of FIG. 3 using A as an example, Mr. A has two mobile phones, one mobile phone is 011-111-2222, and the other mobile phone is 010-111-1234.

Among them, Mr. A used the group information editing unit 220 to name "Movie Club" under the names 010-234-5678, 010-345-6789, 011-123-4567, and 011-222. -3333 was specified to create a new group. Then, the group ID generation unit 230 designates the movie club group as the first group, generates a group ID of "2401", matches the group ID "201" to 011-111-2222, and matches "2401". Group information is matched with 011-111-2222.

Thereafter, Mr. A created a new group by designating "Mountain Club" as the group name 010-123-5678 and 010-235-7272 through the group information editing unit 220 for 011-111-2222. Then, the group ID generation unit 230 designates the mountain group group as the second group, generates a group ID of "2402", matches the group ID "2402" with 011-111-2222, and "2402" and 011-. Group information is matched to 111-2222. Mr. A also creates a new group by specifying a phone number along with the group name for 010-111-1234 as in 011-111-2222.

Here, the operation of the character management server 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a single character management server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and a process of creating a new group and generating and providing a group ID according to a user's request.

When the user accesses the character management server 200 using a mobile phone or computer (S401), the user management unit 210 of the character management server 200 requests and obtains personal identification information, that is, a mobile phone number from the user. The user authentication is performed (S402).

The user management unit 210 executes the group information editing unit when the user authentication is successful, provides the mobile phone number of the user to the group information editing unit 220, and the group information editing unit 220 provides a service item that can be provided. At this time, the service items are group information confirmation, new group creation, group member addition, group member deletion, group member modification, and the like.

When the user receives the service item list from the group information editing unit 220 and confirms it on the screen of the receiving terminal (eg, a mobile phone or a computer), the user selects one of the service items for editing the group information and requests editing (S403).

For example, when the user selects one of the service item group information check, group member addition, group member deletion, group member modification items, the group information editing unit 220 receives the mobile phone number of the user received from the user management unit 210 By using the user group ID (stored as a group name on the user terminal) stored in the group DB 260, the mobile phone number of the group member matching the group ID is found and provided (S404).

Then, the user checks and corrects, adds, or deletes the group member mobile phone number of each group, and the group information editing unit 220 modifies, adds, or deletes the group member's information according to the user's work (S405). In step S409, the operation result is stored in the group DB 260 again.

On the other hand, when the user selects a new group creation item among the service items, the group information editing unit 220 obtains the mobile phone number information of the group members constituting the group name and the group from the user (S406), the group ID generation unit 230 Control to generate a group ID (S407). The group information editing unit 220 provides the group ID to the group ID generation unit 230 to the user (S408).

Then, the group information editing unit 220 matches the new group information with the user's telephone number and the group ID and stores them in the group DB 260 (S409).

Hereinafter, a service providing process for a user for whom a message group transmission service is registered will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a message group transmission method according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which A who has a telephone number of 011-111-2222 shown in FIG. 3 transmits an SMS message to a first group in a batch; Take this as an example.
