Sending the file to the destination IP address.

If the telephone number input by the caller is not the telephone number of the caller terminal, the phone number is converted into a destination IP address, and then the corresponding file is transmitted to the destination terminal having the converted IP address.

When the capacity of the corresponding file transmitted to the destination terminal is larger than the storage capacity of the destination terminal, the file is transmitted to the corresponding mailbox of the destination terminal.

When the phone number input by the caller is the phone number of the caller terminal, the corresponding file is uploaded to the mailbox of the caller terminal.

According to an aspect of a data transmission system using an Internet phone according to the present invention for achieving the above object, at least the sender selected from the file list information stored in the digital storage medium by automatically recognizing a digital storage medium connected in a wired or wireless manner An Internet phone that receives one or more files by receiving a phone number of a destination terminal and transmits the files to the converted IP address by converting the phone number of the destination terminal into an IP address according to a file transfer request of the Internet phone. Include a conversion server.

If the phone number of the input destination terminal is not the same as its own phone number, the Internet phone transmits the file to a destination terminal having an IP address corresponding to the phone number.

The destination terminal, if the capacity of the file transmitted from the Internet phone is larger than the storage capacity of the terminal, and relays the file to the preset mailbox.

If the phone number of the input destination terminal is the same as its own phone number, the Internet phone uploads the corresponding file to its own mailbox.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that reference numerals and like elements among the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals and symbols as much as possible even though they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a data transmission system using an IP phone according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1, the data transmission system of the present invention includes a calling IP phone 10, a calling mailbox server 20, a receiving IP phone 30, a receiving mailbox server 40, and And a digital camera 11 or a USB memory stick 12 connected to the calling IP phone 10.

The calling IP phone 10 is always connected to the ISP network, and when a storage medium having a USB interface is connected, such as the digital camera 11 or the USB memory stick 12, the calling IP phone 10 is connected to the USB. The device connected to the port is automatically recognized and the file list is displayed through the display unit.

With the storage medium connected to the calling IP phone 10, the caller selects a target file to be transmitted from a file list displayed through the display unit of the calling IP phone 10. At this time, the sender may select at least one file or multiple selections.

When the user selects a file to be transmitted and presses the OK button, the other party's phone number input window appears on the display of the calling IP phone 10. Accordingly, the user inputs a phone number to receive the selected file. When the file transmission button is pressed after input, the selected file is transmitted to the receiving IP phone 30 through the ISP network.

For example, when the telephone number of the receiving IP phone 30 is "070-340-5678", as shown in FIG. 1, the caller via the calling IP phone 10 has a counterpart telephone number "070-340-5678". After pressing ", the file transfer button is pressed, the address conversion server of the ISP network converts the corresponding phone number into the destination IP address of the other party and forms a session for file transfer to receive the converted destination IP address. The file is transmitted to the IP phone 30 on the side.

The receiving IP phone 30 is also always connected to the ISP network, and receives the file transmitted from the calling IP phone 10 through the ISP network.

Here, the receiver who has received the file can receive a file transmitted from the sender according to the set reception mode by setting a reception mode among menus provided from his IP phone.

In other words, the reception mode is divided into the continuous reception mode and the confirmation reception mode.If the receiver who receives the file sets the reception mode to the continuous reception mode in the menu provided from his IP phone, the transmission file is unconditionally received. If it is set to the acknowledgment mode, files can be selectively received.

For example, when the file is transmitted in acknowledgment mode, the receiving IP phone 30 displays a message window such as "Do you want to receive this file? YES (1) NO (2)" through the display unit. Selects YES (1) or NO (2) to selectively receive the transmitted file.

The receiving mailbox server 40 is a server connected to the ISP network. If the capacity of the file transmitted from the calling IP phone 10 is large and cannot be stored in the memory of the receiving IP phone 30, the calling IP phone ( The file transmitted from 10) is automatically stored in the receiving mailbox server 40.

The calling mailbox server 20 is a server used when a caller wants to upload a file to his mailbox server. First, the sender transmits a file list displayed on the display unit of the calling IP phone 10. You will select the target file.

After that, when the caller presses the OK button, the telephone number input window is displayed on the display screen of the calling IP phone 10, and the caller enters his / her phone number and then presses the file transfer button. It is uploaded and stored through the network to the calling mailbox server 20.

2 is a diagram illustrating a state transition diagram in the IP phone according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 2, each state (mode) of the IP phone will be described first. The IDLE state represents a normal normal state, the BUSY state is a telephone call state, and the TRANSFER state is transmitting and receiving files. The HYBRID state refers to a state in which a file is being transmitted or received while making a phone call.

That is, since the IP phone is packet based unlike the circuit type, it is possible to provide a hybrid service by forming a session for a call and a session for file transmission and reception differently.

The ABSENCE state is a mode set when the user is absent. In the ABSENCE state, the file may be forwarded to a preset mailbox.

Hereinafter, the operation according to each state of the IP phone will be described.

First, the IP phone in the IDLE state is switched to the BUSY state according to the call event request and is switched to the phone call state, and returns to the IDLE state according to the call event termination.

In addition, when the IP phone is switched from the BUSY state to the HYBRID state according to the file transfer request, the IP phone performs file transmission and reception while making a phone call, and is switched back to the BUSY state according to the file transfer termination.

In addition, the IP phone is switched to the TRANSFER state according to the call event termination in the HYBRID state, and the file is transferred to the transmitting / receiving state.

In addition, the IP phone in the IDLE state is switched to the TRANSFER state in accordance with the file transfer request, and the file is being transmitted and received, and is returned to the IDLE state in response to the file transfer termination.

In addition, the IP phone is transferred to the HYBRID state according to a call event request in the TRANSFER state, and can transmit and receive files while making a phone call.

In addition, the IP phone in the IDLE state is switched to the ABSENCE state according to the set of absence event according to the user setting, and returns to the IDLE state according to the cancellation of absence event from the ABSENCE state.

In particular, the additional service state requested in the ABSENCE state is divided into STATE I, STATE II, and STATE III as follows.

First, the STATE I supplementary service state is a service in which a requested call is connected to a corresponding mailbox when a call event occurs when the user is not in the office.

When a file transfer event occurs while the user is absent, STATE II creates a session with a mailbox (webhard) and relays the file transmitted from the sender to the mailbox. It is a service.

In addition, STATE III is a service mode of the HYBRID state when the user is absent, so that the additional services of STATE I and STATE II may be simultaneously performed according to the order of the requested services.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data transmission process using an IP phone according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, the power switch of the IP phone is turned on to initialize the IP phone (S10).

Subsequently, it is checked whether the USB interface (USB I / F) connected to the IPT USB port is changed in the idle state of the initialized IP phone (S20). In other words, check whether the connection status of a device having a storage medium such as a digital camera or a USB memory stick connected to the IP phone has changed.

As a result of the check, when the USB interface (USB I / F) is changed, it is checked whether a new USB interface (USB I / F) device is connected (S30).

If it is confirmed that a new USB interface (USB I / F) device is connected, a file list stored in the device connected to the USB port is displayed on the LCD screen (S40).

Accordingly, the terminal user selects a transmission target file to be transmitted to the counterpart IP terminal from among a plurality of files displayed on the LCD screen by using the up and down movement buttons of the keypad (S50). In this case, the terminal user may select one file or multiple selections.

In this way, the transfer target files selected by the user are displayed in an inverted state on the LCD screen, so that the user who selects the file can easily check the selected file with the naked eye.

Subsequently, when the user selects at least one file to be transmitted to the other party's IP terminal and presses the OK button, the caller enters his / her phone number on the displayed phone number input window as the phone number input window for inputting the phone number is displayed on the LCD screen After inputting the other party's telephone number to transmit the selected file (S60), a file transfer button is input.

In this way, when the caller inputs the phone number of the other party's destination terminal and then enters a file transfer button, the corresponding IP phone checks whether the input phone number is his / her phone number (S70).

As a result of the check, if the phone number inputted from the caller is a phone number other than its own phone number, the address translation server of the ISP network converts the phone number of the destination terminal to the destination terminal's IP address so that the corresponding file can be transmitted to the destination terminal. By converting to S80, the caller terminal is switched to a file transfer state in which a file is being transferred from an idle state to a file transfer state to transmit a corresponding file (S90).

Accordingly, the corresponding destination terminal receiving the file from the caller terminal sounds an alarm indicating that the file has been received when the corresponding file is received, and the received file is displayed on the LCD screen so that the file receiver can easily determine which file has been received. Make sure you know.

In particular, the receiver receiving the file may receive a file transmitted from the caller according to the set receiving mode by setting a receiving mode among menus provided from his IP phone.

In other words, the reception mode is divided into the continuous reception mode and the confirmation reception mode.If the receiver who receives the file sets the reception mode to the continuous reception mode in the menu provided from his IP phone, the transmission file is unconditionally received. If it is set to the acknowledgment mode, files can be selectively received.

In addition, in the case of S70, if the entered phone number is their own phone number

Since the sender wants to upload a file to his mailbox server, in this case, the caller is connected to the corresponding mailbox server and the file selected by the sender is uploaded to the mailbox server through the ISP network.

On the other hand, if the USB interface (USB I / F) is not changed in the step S20 (S110) checks whether there is a file transfer request of the sender, if there is a file transfer request, the caller terminal is in an idle state (Idle state In step S90, the file is transferred to the file transfer state in which the file is being transferred, and the S90 process of transmitting the selected file to the destination terminal is performed.

In the above, specific preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made by any person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention attached to the claims. will be.

According to the present invention, by simply transmitting and receiving a file in the storage device using the dialing method by utilizing the characteristics of the IP phone that is always-On on the Internet, including older people who are not familiar with file transmission and reception through the existing computer It will make it easier for people to share files using storage devices such as digital cameras and memory sticks.

In addition, even if the file storage space is insufficient, by relaying (relay-transmission) to the preset Internet mailbox, it is possible to ensure the continuity of the service.
