Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING E-MAIL TRANSMISSION SERVICE USING A DIRECT INPUT OF E-MAIL ADDRESS TO WEB BROWSER}

The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing an e-mail transmission service for transmitting an e-mail using a web browser. More particularly, the present invention relates to an e-mail transmitting an e-mail by directly inputting an e-mail address into a URL input window of a web browser. A method and system for providing a mail transmission service, a recording medium recording a program for implementing the method and a system, and a method and system for providing an email web hosting service using the same.

In general, to transmit an e-mail, that is, an e-mail, a method of accessing a company providing an e-mail transmission service is used. According to this conventional method, first, as a member to the site providing the e-mail transmission service on the Internet to register the ID and password. When using the e-mail service, run a web browser on a terminal with internet access, enter the domain name of the site joined as a member in the URL input window, and enter the ID and password for the connected site. Then select the email item by clicking on it with your mouse, select compose, enter the information you want to send along with the information about the recipient, and send it.

As described above, according to the conventional electronic mail transmission method, since the electronic mail must be transmitted through a plurality of complicated processes, the operation is cumbersome and inconvenient.

In addition, since the e-mail may not be transmitted depending on the server state of the website used by the receiving party, there is a disadvantage in that the perfect e-mail transmission is not guaranteed. In this case, the sender of the e-mail cannot immediately know whether the e-mail sent by him or her was sent correctly, and after receiving a message indicating that the mail transmission failed after several minutes or hours or days, It is possible to know that the postal transmission failed.

In addition, the conventional e-mail service provides a service that allows the sender to know whether the recipient has read the mail sent to the recipient, but when the recipient read it, how many times it was read, or deleted it without reading. Since it does not provide specific information about the sender, if the sender wants to obtain various information about the current state of the message sent and the receiver pays attention to the message, there is a disadvantage that it is not provided.

In addition, the recipient's e-mail address merely serves as a mailbox for receiving a letter electronically, it does not provide a variety of functions, such as to inform the other party about the information about themselves. Therefore, if you want to provide information about yourself on the Internet or to build your own dedicated space to create a place of exchange with people of various friendships, you should use a method such as building a personal homepage.

However, those who do not have a great knowledge of computers or the Internet are difficult to use a personal homepage construction service, etc., and feel a serious burden in constructing and using a personal homepage. In addition, since the address of a personal homepage is managed as a separate address from its own e-mail address, it is difficult to publicize it to others. Therefore, it is difficult for a general user to provide a service that can be conveniently used to provide his or her information to others by simply and easily building his or her own space on the Internet.

In addition, for the provider of the e-mail service (website operator), all existing e-mail services are provided free of charge. Therefore, a huge amount of money is required, such as purchasing expensive equipment and hiring management personnel. Despite this, there is a drawback in that it cannot recover the price for providing the service. In order to overcome these shortcomings, e-mail service providers provide services for various additional functions in the form of so-called premium services. For example, a method of registering as a premium member and providing various additional services to a member who has paid a predetermined membership fee.

In this case, however, existing services are limited to a small increase in mail volume or multiplication of mail (eg, address book, calendar, mobile phone notification function, missed notification function, etc.). They don't get the big deal because they don't feel the need to pay and use these features.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the first object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing an e-mail transmission service that allows an e-mail sender to accurately send an e-mail to a receiver with a simple operation. will be.

It is a third object of the present invention to provide a method and a system for providing an email transmission service which enables a sender of an email to easily know various information about whether the recipient of the email has read the received email.

The fourth object of the present invention is to provide a level of personal information that can be provided on a personal homepage, beyond the use of an e-mail service user simply using his or her e-mail address as an address for receiving an e-mail. Or to provide a method and system for providing an e-mail transmission service that can be used as a place for sharing information of people in a friendship.

The fifth object of the present invention is to provide a differentiated service from the existing e-mail service from the perspective of the e-mail service provider, it is possible to secure a wide range of members, and also to provide a differentiated service to existing users To provide a method and system for providing an e-mail transmission service that can facilitate the monetization and the like.

This is done by uploading via. Therefore, the e-mail can be correctly transmitted to the receiver, and it can be immediately confirmed whether or not the normal transmission.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

FIG. 1 illustrates a state in which an e-mail transmission service providing system according to the present invention is implemented on the Internet, and FIG. 2 illustrates only a part of the web server and the mail server 30 of FIG. 1.

The system for providing an e-mail transmission service includes, in large part, an Internet service provider (ISP) server 40 which performs a relay operation for connecting the DNS client 10 used by an e-mail sender, the DNS client 10 to the Internet, Root Name Server (51), Top-Lever Name Server (52) and Second-Lever Name Server (53) connected to ISP Server (40) , A web server 20 connected to the second server name server 53, and a plurality of mail servers 30 connected to the web server 20.

The DNS client 10 may be any type of terminal capable of accessing the Internet by driving a web browser such as a mobile phone, a PDA, a personal computer, or the like.

The ISP server 40, the root name server 51, the top lever name server 52, the second lever name server 53, and the web server 20 are interconnected via the Internet. 1 and 2, the internet is omitted for convenience.

E-mail transmission service providing method according to the invention, the user can receive the e-mail transmission service by inputting the e-mail address of the other party to be transmitted to the URL input window on the web browser executed by the DNS client 10 To provide.

In order to implement such a function, in the present invention, a web server 20 and a plurality of mail servers 30 are provided. The web server 20 and the mail server 30 belong to the same provider, and are preferably connected by a local communication network.

The web server 20 is a server to which the DNS client 10 connects through the Internet. The web server 20 performs a main function of the present invention, such as receiving an e-mail address transmitted through the Internet as described below and transmitting a message input screen to the outside.

Each of the plurality of mail servers 30 is input by grouping user IDs. For example, when one mail server 30 can store 3000 IDs, one mail server 30 stores up to 3000 IDs and display data on a message input screen for each ID. When five mail servers 30 are provided, it is possible to provide an e-mail transmission service for IDs of 15,000 people. In addition, the mail server 30 is provided with storage means (not shown) for storing various personal information as described below together with the message input screen as described above. Such storage means may be separately provided outside the mail server 30, and may be implemented as any electronic recording medium that is commonly used.

The mailing engine 25 is installed in the web server 20. The mailing engine 25 is a program for implementing the functions of the web server 20 according to the present invention, and is software for performing all operations of the system for providing an e-mail service according to the present invention. Specifically, the mailing engine 25 receives and transmits an e-mail address when an e-mail address is transmitted, and detects and detects an ID portion among IDs and domains included in the e-mail address. A function of receiving a message input screen from the mail server 30 corresponding to the received ID and transmitting the message input screen to the DNS client 10, a function of transmitting a message transmitted from the DNS client 10 to the mail server 30, and the like. To perform.

Hereinafter, the specific operation of the system according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

First, the user executes a web browser installed in the DNS client 10. The web browser is provided with a URL input window, which is typically used to enter the domain of the web site to which the user wants to connect. In the present invention, a method of inputting an e-mail address in this URL input window is adopted.

E-mail addresses typically consist of 'ID @ domain', for example demo@hoc21.co.kr. Where 'domain' represents the domain address of the site the recipient uses to send and receive email, 'ID' is the name that specifically identifies the user in the domain used by the recipient, and '@' represents the domain and ID As a delimiter, the sign before @ is used for ID and the sign after @ is used for domain. This is a unified standard format on the Internet.

When the e-mail address is entered in the URL input window and the enter key is pressed, the input e-mail address is transmitted to the root name server 51 via the ISP server. The root name server 51 is a name server provided in the international domain administration center. The top level name server of the country is read by reading the last section, that is, the country code, from the received e-mail address. 52), and information about this is transmitted to the ISP server 40. That is, when demo@hoc21.co.kr is transmitted as the e-mail address as described above, the root name server 51 designates the top lever name server 52 corresponding to kr.

The ISP server 40 transmits the email address to the top lever name server 52 designated by the root name server 51. At this time, the received top lever name server 52 is a name server corresponding to kr, that is, a name server of a domain administration center in Korea. The top lever name server 52 reads the last to second section of the sections delimited by periods from the received e-mail address, that is, the group code (co, pe, or, etc.) and the second address server of the corresponding group. 53 is specified, and information about this is transmitted to the ISP server 40. That is, when demo@hoc21.co.kr is transmitted as the e-mail address as described above, the top lever name server 52 designates the second lever name server 53 corresponding to co.

The ISP server 40 transmits the e-mail address to the second lever name server 53 designated by the top lever name server 52. At this time, the second address server 53 receives the e-mail address is a name server corresponding to co, that is, a name server of a corporation (corporation) of the group of domains. The second host name server 53 reads the identification code of the third section, that is, the web server 20 from the last of the sections divided by the period of the received e-mail address, and searches the corresponding web server 20. In this case, the ISP server 40 connects the DNS client 10 to the web server 20 corresponding to demo@hoc21.co.kr.

The above process is an internet access process that is conventionally used, and is the same as when only a domain is input in a URL input window of a web browser. Therefore, when only the domain is entered in the URL, the DNS client 10 is connected to the web server 20 of the corresponding domain, and even when the e-mail address in the form of 'ID @ domain' is entered by the existing Internet access system. The web server 20 of the domain is connected.

However, the conventional web server 20 provides only a function of simply accessing its own web page even when an e-mail address of the form 'ID @ domain' is input as described above, but the web server 20 according to the present invention. ) Handles different cases when different domains are simply inputted and only when an email address including an ID is input together with the domain in the form of 'ID @ domain'.

That is, the web server 20 searches to see if the '@' symbol is added to the domain transmitted to access the web server, and if the @ symbol is added, the web server 20 sends an electronic message to the user using the ID added before the @ symbol. Recognize that a command to send a mail has been entered. This operation and subsequent main operations are performed by the mailing engine 25 installed in the web server 20.

The web server 20 searches the mail server 30 in which the account for the received ID is opened among the plurality of mail servers 30, and notifies the retrieved mail server 30 that the ID has been received. The mail server 30 transmits a message input screen for inputting a message to be transmitted to a corresponding ID to the web server 20, and the web server 20 transmits the received message input screen to the DNS client 10 through the Internet. To transmit. The DNS client 10 displays the received message input screen. Accordingly, the e-mail sender directly enters the message input screen for inputting a message to be sent to the receiver only by inputting an e-mail address in a URL input window of a web browser. You can connect.

Then, the sender enters a message or attaches a file to the message input screen on the web browser of the DNS client 10 and issues a transfer command. Accordingly, the message is transmitted to the web server 20, and the web server 20 transmits the received message to the mail server 30 corresponding to the receiver ID. The mail server 30 stores the received message in a storage medium provided on its own or installed outside thereof, so that the receiver can check the stored message later.

As described above, after the operation of connecting the DNS client 10 to the web server 20 is performed, the DNS client 10 stores information about the connected web server 20 as a system file. Therefore, in the subsequent connection operation, the DNS server 10 can directly access the web server 20 without performing the operation through the root name server 51 and the top lever name server 52 as described above. do. Therefore, the connection from the DNS client 10 to the web server 20 is made within a shorter time.

The mail server 30 stores data for various screen configurations that can be used by the recipient as his personal homepage, and data about previously received messages along with a message input screen. These data are transmitted when the message input screen is transmitted. May also be sent together.

3 shows an example of a message input screen displayed on a web browser of the DNS client 10.

The message input screen consists of two parts separated from left to right. The left screen can be used as a screen for providing a variety of information configured by the guestbook, links to other sites, and other users.

The screen on the right is a screen for entering a message. At the top, the recipient's email address (demo@hoc21.co.kr) is displayed, and below it is a column for entering the sender's email address and name ("E-mail"). "I and" Name "columns), a column for entering the subject of the message, a column for entering the contents of the message, and a file attachment column for use in attaching an electronic document. The specific usage of these columns is configured in the same way as the conventional method provided by the conventional e-mail service. For example, to attach a file, click 'Browse' with a mouse and click the hard disk in the DNS client 10. Attach the file by finding and selecting the file that was saved. In addition, the icons such as 'Send' and 'Cancel' displayed on the screen are for inputting a command for sending a created message or canceling a message writing task. Description is omitted.

On the other hand, the electronic mail transmission service according to the present invention provides a function that the recipient can access and use in the same manner as described above to confirm their mail account.

That is, the recipient himself or herself may execute the web browser using another DNS client 10 and enter the e-mail address in the URL input window to receive the message input screen as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the message input screen is shown in FIG. 3. As shown in the figure, a login column for the use of the receiver is provided. When the receiver enters the host password set in advance in the login column, the input password is transmitted to the corresponding mail server 30 through the web server 20, and accordingly, the mail server 30 is connected to the receiver himself. I can recognize it. Here, the host password is a password for granting the inquiry authority to the previously stored message by the mail server 30, and is a password set in advance by the receiver.

When the host password is transmitted from the DNS client 10 through the web server 20, the mail server 30 may provide information about pre-stored messages, for example, information about the mail status of the receiver. In response to the request from the) through the web server 20 to the DNS client 10. Accordingly, the receiver can query the information about the e-mail sent to him.

4 illustrates an example of a screen provided to the web browser of the DNS client 10 when the receiver logs in. On this screen, items related to newly received mail, already confirmed mail, and the like are displayed, and icons for inputting various commands for management of these items are displayed. Since the management method for the screen is the same as that provided by the existing e-mail service, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, among the icons provided on the screen shown in FIG. 4, there is a 'receive confirmation' icon. When the acknowledgment icon is clicked, as shown in FIG. 5, a screen for confirming reception of previously received mail is displayed. In Fig. 4, an acknowledgment screen is provided with a column for displaying an initial confirmation date, a final confirmation date, and a confirmation number together with basic information such as a title of the transmitted e-mail. Therefore, the user can know histories for each e-mail at the time of acknowledgment.

As such, the recipient can manage the emails sent to him by entering the host password.

In addition to these host passwords, you can set client passwords separately. Here, the client password is a password for granting the inquiry authority of the information regarding the message transmitted by the DNS client 10 among the messages previously stored by the mail server 30. When the client password is transmitted from the DNS client 10 via the web server 20, the mail server 30 sends information about the message transmitted by the DNS client 10 to a request from the DNS client 10. Accordingly, the transmission to the DNS client 10 through the web server 20. That is, if the client password that can be used by the e-mail sender is separately set in advance, and the client password is entered in the login column, the same screen as that provided by the receiver is provided as shown in FIG. On this screen, the sender can make the operation of confirming or deleting the reception of the other party with respect to the e-mail sent by the sender.

In this case, unlike entering the host password, when entering the client password, the sender can limit the operations to be limited to some operations (for example, checking and deleting the status of the sent mail). In addition, the information that can be inquired by the sender may be limited to limited information. Such a limitation can be implemented by disabling some functions on the screen shown in FIG. 5, and, unlike the screen shown in FIG. 5, only an execution command icon regarding information allowed for a task or inquiry allowed to the sender. It is also possible to configure a separate screen to be displayed.

This setting of the client password may be made by the sender itself, or may be made available to the sender only if the receiver informs the sender separately by setting it in advance. Also, without setting a separate client password, a single password can be used as a combination of the host password used by the receiver and the client password used by the sender.

On the other hand, the present invention provides an e-mail web hosting service that allows the use of the above e-mail service by the web hosting method. That is, the user who wants to receive the above-mentioned e-mail transmission service individually provides the service by setting up an ID account through a membership application to a service provider having the web server 20 and the mail server 30. I can receive it. Accordingly, in order to provide the above-mentioned e-mail transmission service to various senders, it is necessary to provide a web server 20 and a mail server 30 or an e-mail service providing program according to the present invention for each user. There will be no. This will be described in detail as follows.

6 illustrates an example of a screen provided for a user to register to receive an e-mail web hosting service according to the present invention.

A user first connects to a web server 20 that provides a web hosting service according to the present invention by a normal domain input method. When the web server 20 is connected, the web server 20 transmits and displays a member registration screen as shown in FIG. 5 to the connected user's terminal. There is a column for entering the user's name, ID, password, email, phone number, etc. on the sign-up screen, fill out their personal information in these fields and send it to the web server 20, the web server 20 Receive information.

The web server 20 selects any one of the plurality of mail servers 30 based on the received information to open and register a mail account for the user. At this time, among the plurality of mail servers 30, the mail server 30 having the least number of registered members is selected.

After the registration process is completed and the user's ID is opened in the mail server 30, the user checks the connection and usage of the other sender who wants to send the e-mail to the user, and checks the e-mail sent from the other sender. The method of using various functions according to the provision of the e-mail transmission service, such as a management method, is performed in the same manner as described above.

According to the electronic mail web hosting service providing method, the user can be provided with the electronic mail transmission service according to the present invention without installing a separate program or a web server (20). In addition, in the case where the data for the screen containing the various data as described above together with the message input screen is constructed in the mail server 30, the user can be provided with a function similar to the personal homepage. It is possible to build a homepage function by a simple procedure of joining a hosting service as a member.

According to the present invention, an e-mail message input screen transmitted from the mail server 30 on the receiver side is displayed only by a simple operation of inputting an e-mail address in the URL input window of the web browser. Therefore, since the sending of the e-mail is performed by uploading to the receiver's mail server 30 through the web server 20, the e-mail can be correctly transmitted to the receiver.

In addition, since the e-mail is delivered by accessing and uploading the recipient's web server 20 in this manner, if the message input screen is displayed on the sender's DNS client 10, the recipient's system can normally receive the e-mail. It can be seen that the status, and therefore, the sender can immediately confirm whether or not the email transmission was correctly performed without error.

In addition, when a separate client password is set, by logging in to perform an additional function by inputting a client password, an email sender can easily perform various tasks such as checking whether the recipient has read the received email. Will be.

In addition, the user of the e-mail account, in order to send e-mail to the user, enters the e-mail address in the URL input window to provide a variety of information, such as personal information that has been built in advance to the sender connected to the whip server It can be used for the same purpose as personal homepage.

In addition, by providing a differentiated service from the existing e-mail service from the e-mail service provider's point of view, it is possible to secure a wide range of members, and also to facilitate the monetization by giving a merit to the differentiated service to the existing users. The advantage is that it can be done. In addition, the electronic mail service according to the present invention has the advantage that it can be provided as a separate service that provides only the mailbox of the electronic mail through a method such as web hosting.

In the above described and illustrated with respect to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment described above, anyone of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention Various modifications are possible, of course, and such variations will be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
