Method for transmitting broadcast message using data network and public network

Technical field of broadcasting information sending method using data network and public network

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for transmitting broadcast information using a data network and a public network. According to the method for transmitting broadcast information using a data network and a public network, in response to a broadcast information transmission request sent by a calling terminal, at least When a called terminal sends broadcast information, when the phone number of the called terminal is the phone number of the smartphone with the application, the broadcast information is sent through the data network, and the called terminal cannot receive the broadcast information through the application. In the case of mobile phones, smartphones that are not equipped with applications, and in the case of uncertain whether the broadcast information sent through the data network has been received by the called terminal, the broadcast information is sent through the public network connection of the communication service provider, Therefore, not only can the broadcast information have to be received to the called terminal at a relatively cheap transmission cost, but also can solve the problem of repeated reception through the public network when the broadcast information sent by the data network is not sure whether the broadcast information is received by the called terminal. The problem caused by the broadcast information sent.

Background technique

[0002] In recent years, with the development of technologies related to the Internet and mobile communications, there is an increasing tendency to provide various types of information to customers in various forms with many customers such as enterprises.

[0003] In accordance with these trends, people have studied methods of providing information to users through e-mail messages, voice, FAX, short messages, SNS, etc., and a lot of expenses and investment have been spent for this. Generally, in order not to send emails but to provide customers with various information through short messages or voice messages, directly construct an information delivery system or send information through a service provider that provides related services.

[0004] In the case of a service provider that provides services, when sending corporate information, it is possible to selectively use a data network to send information or use a mobile communication network to send information according to the type of the called terminal to be received, thereby attempting to minimize The input cost required to send the message.

[0005] Korean Granted Patent No. 10-1089709 discloses a call connection device and a method thereof that can connect a communication line of a portable terminal equipped with an application program for call connection. To make a call, select the line that requires the least call cost from the multiple lines owned by the merchant and use it as the calling line and the called line. The multiple lines are either in the packet network or the circuit network. When selecting the circuit network, Use the circuit that requires the least call charges in the circuit network.

[0006] This will be described with reference to FIG. 4. When the network setting state of the calling terminal is that the packet network or the circuit network can be used, the input call connection information is sent to the call connection device through the packet network (S115).

[0007] The call management unit extracts the caller information from the stored call connection information, and then selects the caller line that can establish a call connection with the calling terminal from the multiple lines owned by the businessman running the call connection device (S120 ), as the calling line, select the line with the cheapest call cost required for the calling call generated between the call connection device and the calling terminal among the multiple lines owned by the merchant.

[0008] At this time, the connected calling line is connected by using any one of the packet network and the circuit network, and the line of the packet network can be selected for each calling line and called line. Therefore, in the calling terminal Free calls can be made with the called terminal.

[0009] However, although these call connection devices select cheaper lines in the packet network and the circuit network,

It is possible to save the cost of calling or sending information through the connection. However, when using the packet network to send information, due to the instability of the packet network and other reasons, when the information must be sent to the called terminal stably, it will save the sending cost at the same time. There are limitations when the sent information must be received by the called terminal.

Summary of the invention

[0010] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0011] The present invention provides that although the cost of sending broadcast information can be saved when sending broadcast information through a data network, it can not only save the cost of using the data network for companies that want broadcast information to be received by customers, etc. Even when the data network is unstable, the public network can be used to enable broadcast information to be received to the called terminal.

[0012] Moreover, the present invention provides a method for preventing the called terminal from repeatedly receiving the same broadcast information through the data network and the public network when the data network and the public network are used to send broadcast information.

[0013] Scheme for solving the problem

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for sending broadcast information using a data network and a public network includes: step 11, a broadcast information sending server receives a request for sending broadcast information that needs to be sent from a calling terminal; step 12, The broadcast information sending server compares the phone number of the called terminal to which the broadcast information is to be sent with the phone number database of the called terminal that is provided with an application program for receiving the broadcast information; step 13: When the phone number of the called terminal of the broadcast information is equivalent to the called phone number of the application, the broadcast information sending server sends the broadcast information to the called terminal via a data network; step 14 , The broadcast information sending server obtains a feedback of the broadcast information reception completion information from the application of the called terminal; step 15, when the broadcast information sending server receives the broadcast information received from the called terminal When the information is completed, it is confirmed that the broadcast information is normally received at the called terminal; and the 16th step, the broadcast information is displayed on the application of the called terminal, wherein the use of the data network and the public network The broadcast information sending method also includes: In the 21st step, in the case where the called terminal is not equivalent to the called number set with the application in the 12th step, or in the 14th step, the broadcast information sending server receives the application from the called terminal In the case that the program does not receive the feedback of the broadcast information reception completion information, the broadcast information sending server sends the broadcast information through the public network; and step 22, displaying on the called terminal that the broadcast information sending server has passed all the information The broadcast information sent by the public network.

[0015] Effects of the invention

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, for companies that want broadcast information to be received by customers, not only can the cost of using the data network be saved, but also the public network can be used when the data network is unstable. A method to enable broadcast information to be received to the called terminal.

[0017] Moreover, when using the data network and the public network to send broadcast information, the called terminal is prevented from repeatedly receiving and displaying the same broadcast information through the data network and the public network, thereby preventing the called terminal from being affected by repeated reception of the broadcast information. Confusion caused by users.

Detailed ways

[0022] The terms or words used in this and claims should not be interpreted as limited to conventional or dictionary meanings, but should be based on the inventors in order to describe their invention in the best way and can be appropriately defined The principle of the concept of the term is interpreted as the meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.

[0023] Therefore, the embodiment described in the present invention and the structure shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that in the present application In terms of perspective, there may be multiple equivalent technical solutions and modifications that can replace these.

[0024] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting broadcast information using a data network and a public network according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, according to the method of transmitting broadcast information using a data network and a public network according to the present invention, the broadcast information transmitting server receives the broadcast information content and the content that needs to be transmitted by the calling terminal, which is mainly the client computer, communication terminal, etc. Call the terminal phone number (including the case where the phone number is pre-stored in the delivery server for each client) to send a broadcast information request (step 11).

[0026] The broadcast information transmission server judges the broadcast information transmission request object by comparing the phone number of the called terminal of the broadcast information transmission request object with the called terminal phone number database provided with the application program included in the broadcast information transmission server Whether the phone number of the called terminal is the same as the phone number of the called terminal set with the application program for receiving broadcast information (step 12), if the phone number is equivalent to the called number set with the application program, the broadcast message is sent The server sends the broadcast information to the called terminal through a data network that can send the broadcast information for free or the cost of the broadcast information is relatively cheap (step 13).

[0027] For the above-mentioned broadcast information sent by the broadcast information sending server, the application set in the called terminal sends a sending feedback to the broadcast information sending server to notify the completion of receiving the broadcast information (step 14), if the broadcast information sending server is When the calling terminal receives the broadcast information reception completion information, the broadcast information is normally received to the called terminal, and the broadcast information is displayed on the application of the called terminal (step 15 and step 16). Therefore, there is no need to pass another public The network sends the broadcast information again, so it can save the cost of sending the broadcast information through the public network.

[0028] However, when the called terminal is not provided with an application program for receiving broadcast information and cannot send broadcast information through the data network, and when the called terminal is provided with an application program for receiving broadcast information, but the communication network fails , The application of the called terminal cannot send the feedback of the broadcast information to the broadcast information sending server because the called terminal is turned off, exceeds the data plan usage quota, etc., which results in the inability to send broadcast information through the data network or it is impossible to send the broadcast information through the data network. Determine whether the broadcast information is received to the status of the called terminal.

[0029] In this case, in order to solve the problem that the broadcast information must be received, regardless of whether the broadcast information is transmitted and received through the data network, the broadcast information transmission server retransmits the broadcast information through the public network (step 21), and receives The called terminal to the broadcast message displays the broadcast message sent through the public network (step 22).

[0030] Here, the broadcast information transmitted by the server, after the broadcast information transmission server transmits the broadcast information is set in advance to judge whether the called UE receives the broadcast information is completed within the time of the broadcast information obtained from the called terminal receives completion information feedback.

[0031] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying broadcast information in consideration of repeated reception of broadcast information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, in order to solve the problem that the broadcast information must be received, if the broadcast information transmission server does not get the feedback of the broadcast information reception completion information from the called terminal installed with the application program for receiving the broadcast information, there is a pass data In order to confirm the possibility of repeated transmissions on the Internet and public networks, in order to confirm the possibility of repeated transmissions as above, the application installed in the called terminal determines whether the broadcast information sent by the broadcast information transmission server through the data network has been received by the called terminal (No. 211 step).

[0032] As a result of the above judgment, when the broadcast information sent through the data network is not received by the called terminal, the broadcast information sent through the public network is displayed on the called terminal (step 22). When the called terminal is received through the data network, the called terminal is subjected to repeated receiving operations based on repeated reception of the same broadcast information through the data network and the public network (step 212), and the broadcast sent through the public network is displayed on the called terminal. Information (step 22).

[0033] The repeated reception operation in the 212th step may be various forms of operations representing repeated reception of broadcast information, wherein the display operation related to the repeated reception of the application of the called terminal is adopted, and the called terminal is not displayed. At least one of the inactivation operation of the broadcast information received by the application program of the called terminal and the operation of deleting the broadcast information received by the application program of the called terminal to make the user recognize that the broadcast information is repeatedly received, or by making the called terminal The terminal is in a state (inactive or deleted) in which the broadcast information received by the application of the called terminal cannot be displayed, so as to eliminate the inconvenience caused to the user due to the repeated reception of broadcast information by the called terminal.

[0034] Preferably, the judgment regarding the repeated reception of the above broadcast information is performed on at least one of the sender, transmission time, and content of the broadcast information sent through the data network and the public network in an application program installed in the called terminal. It is achieved by comparison, and the comparison of the broadcast information transmission time is to compare the transmission time of the broadcast information sent through the public network with the time obtained by adding the time sent through the data network to the preset reception completion feedback time. achieve.

[0035] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure when the broadcast information is not confirmed in the setting mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, the broadcast information transmission server judges the broadcast by comparing the phone number of the called terminal of the broadcast information transmission request object with the called terminal phone number database provided with the application program included in the broadcast information transmission server. Whether the phone number of the called terminal of the information sending request object is consistent with the phone number of the called terminal set with the application program for receiving broadcast information (Step 12), if the phone number is equivalent to the called number set with the application program ( In step Y of the 12th step), before sending the broadcast information to the called terminal through the data network (step 13), it may also include determining whether the called terminal is limited by the user of the called terminal to receive the broadcast information, There is a step with the broadcast information unconfirmed setting mode (step 31) for reasons such as restricted reception of broadcast information due to meetings.

[0036] As a result of the above judgment, when the called terminal does not have an unconfirmed setting mode, the broadcast information sending server sends broadcast information to the called terminal through the data network, and when the called terminal has the unconfirmed setting mode In the fixed mode, you can operate in at least one unconfirmed setting mode of keeping sending broadcast information, sending and displaying part of the broadcast information, and sending broadcast information but keeping displayed on the application of the called terminal ( Step 32).

[0037] For the operation performed in the unconfirmed setting mode as described above, it is determined whether the called terminal requests to confirm the broadcast information, when the confirmation of the broadcast information is not requested (at the time of N in the 33rd step), Continue in unconfirmed setting mode

When the called terminal requests to confirm the broadcast information (at the time of Y in step 33), download the information from the broadcast information transmission server when the broadcast information is reserved for transmission, and then download the information from the broadcast information transmission server. In the case of partial content, download the remaining information or the entire content from the broadcast information sending server, or set the incoming mail display on the application to the active state in the case of keeping the display on the application of the called terminal (Step 33), thereby canceling the unconfirmed setting mode, so that the broadcast information is displayed on the application of the called terminal (Step 17).

[0038] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, the modifications, additions, and substitutions made to the present invention are made to the present invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention disclosed in the accompanying claims. It is obvious to those skilled in the art.
