The present invention relates to a computer readable storage medium recording a program for implementing a message transmission and reception function, and more particularly, to a computer readable storage for recording a program for implementing a message transmission and reception function between a plurality of user terminals connected to a network. It is about the medium.

As the distribution area of the network, in particular the Internet, expands, various services are being developed. In particular, message transmission and posting services through the Internet are provided in various forms. Representative services include mail service, note service and bulletin board service.

The mail service transmits and receives mail between the sender and the receiver by using a sending mail server and a receiving mail server. The mail service can send a long post or attach a file, and provides functions such as replying, forwarding, and reading notification. In addition, outgoing mails or incoming mails are freely managed by the sender or the recipient.

However, since mail can be sent and received between users who are not authenticated with each other, they are likely to be exposed to spam or viruses. In addition, outgoing mails or incoming mails are displayed in the order of sent date or received date, respectively, and the relation between related mails is not expressed. Some mail clients provide the ability to sort mail by the criteria field, but within each field, each message is listed again by date, and so on. Does not.

The memo service is a service for transmitting and receiving short messages between service subscribers. The server has a predetermined table for the memo service, and the memo content between the sender and the receiver is stored in each record. At this time, since the contents of the messages sent and received by multiple service subscribers are stored in the same place, the capacity of the messages that can be sent and received is limited. In addition, file attachment or management of each note is not possible.

The bulletin board service is a service that transmits a certain content to a common work place among the bulletin board subscribers and shares the content posting, and is safe from spam and viruses since the content transmission is permitted only to the subscribers. In addition, the content is displayed along with the relevance to each content in the bundle of related content according to the input method.

For example, a title is given at the head of a reply to an original post or a reply to a reply, and the title start column is also different in the display method. In other words, the first column of the original article, the second column of the reply, and the reply of the reply from the third column can be used to determine the phase of each content in a bundle of related contents at a glance. .

However, since each content is transferred to a common place of work, the authority of administration was granted to a specific person, and the authority of the posted content was granted only to the posting user. In addition, since the entire user's outgoing content is posted together, it was inconvenient to use a separate sorting function to check a post of a specific user.

 Accordingly, a technical problem of the present invention is to provide a computer readable storage for recording a message transmitting / receiving and posting function implementation program in which messages exchanged with a service subscriber are represented for each service subscriber in a related message bundle. To provide the medium.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium for recording a program for implementing a secure message transmission and reception function between authenticated users.

In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium recording a program for transmitting and receiving a message and a posting function implementation that can be authorized and managed by both the sender and the receiver.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a storage medium comprising: a) a storage medium recording a function of transmitting and receiving a message between a plurality of user terminals connected to a network; b) generating first and second records for the sender and the receiver based on the outgoing message; c) storing the generated first and second records, respectively, and transmitting the first and second records to the user terminal of the sender and the receiver, respectively; d) A storage medium that records the function of displaying the transmitted message content along with the related message content previously transmitted based on the record field.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.                     

As shown in FIG. 1, the message transmission and reception system according to the present invention is connected to a plurality of user terminals through a network, and includes a message client 200, an application server 400, and a user database 500. do.

Networks include all types of networks, including telephone networks, the Internet and wireless communications networks.

The user terminal is a communication device capable of communicating with a message transceiving and posting system via a network, and any one of various communication devices such as a telephone, a wireless communication terminal, a computer, and an Internet-accessible TV may be used. Therefore, the user can access the system conveniently and quickly by using PC communication, the Internet, the wireless Internet, and the telephone network.

The message client 200 is an application program installed in the user terminal and provides a tool for creating a message, and allows a message between a plurality of users subscribed to the service to be transmitted and received through a communication processor inside the user terminal.

At this time, the message client 200 displays the transmitted message on the screen with reference to the record field. The message client 200 displays the transmitted message along with the related message on the screen of the user terminal when there is a related message previously transmitted.

In addition, the record transmitted according to the condition may be stored in the terminal storage unit 100 of the user terminal.

In this case, the terminal storage unit 100 is a concept that is different from the local cache in which the data received from the server in the general mail client program is temporarily stored. In other words, the local cache is a place for temporarily storing the data received from the server, a general technique that allows the mail client program to use the data stored in the local cache without requiring data transmission to the server again for the same data.

On the other hand, the terminal storage unit 100 is a place where the message client 200 separately stores the records stored in the local cache for the purpose of permanent storage, etc., the user database provided on the side of the application server 400 to be described later ( It can be useful when you want to delete it from 500) and save it personally for a long time.

When the application server 400 receives the outgoing message from the message client 200, the application server 400 generates a first record for the sender and a second record for the receiver based on the outgoing message. However, if the message receiver is not a user subscribed to the service, the application server 400 may transmit a failure notification to the message client 200 that has sent the message.

In this case, the first record and the second record are one of a service user ID, a message ID, a corresponding message ID, a related message bundle to which the message belongs, a message phase, a sender ID, a receiver ID, a message title, and a message content in the bundle. It contains the above record field.

Here, the message ID of the first record is the corresponding message ID in the second record, and the corresponding message ID in the first record is the message ID of the second record. Thus, the first record and the second record are logically interconnected through the message ID and corresponding message ID fields.

The user database 500 stores the first record and the second record by the application server 400. In this case, the user database 500 may be separately provided for each of a plurality of users who subscribe to the service. Thus, the authority for the first and second records stored in the database is given to the sender and the receiver, respectively, and managed by the sender and the receiver, respectively. That is, the sender and the receiver may respectively store or delete the first record and the second record through the message client 200.

As shown in FIG. 2, the user interface of the message client 200 is as follows.

The message client 200 may display a list of second users who can use the message transmission and reception service with the first user, and the list of the second users may be displayed by forming a certain group according to the selection of the first user. . In this case, both the first user and the second user are service subscribers, and the second user is one or more singular or plural users capable of transmitting and receiving messages with the first user, and the second-1 user and the second-2 user. ,… This is a concept that includes the second-n user.

For example, if a first user selects a second-fourth user from the listed second-users, the messages exchanged between the first and second-fourth users are displayed, and in particular, each message is associated with the corresponding message bundle. Appear to match the phase of the message.

That is, when the first user sends a message to the 2-4 user, and the 2-4 user responds, the first user's outgoing message is higher layer, and the 2-4 user's reply message is sent by the first user. Expressed as a lower layer of the message. If the first user replies to the reply message again, the reply message of the first user is represented by a lower layer of the reply message of the second user. Of course, when the first user sends a message of new content to the 2-4 user or the 2-4 user to the first user, the new message is represented by a new higher layer.

Hereinafter, the message transmission and posting process will be described in more detail.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first user selects a specific person from the second user (hereinafter, it is assumed that the second-4 user is selected), and composes a message through the user interface of the message client 200. Can be transmitted (A). Alternatively, a message that has already been transmitted and posted may be modified and transmitted (B). In addition, the first user sends a reply to the message from the user 2-4 (C) or sends a message sent to or received from the user 2-4 to another user, that is, the user 2-1, the user 2-2, or the like. (D).

In this case, messages A, B, C, and D that are created, modified, or forwarded are transmitted to the application server 400, and the application server 400 generates a first record and a first record for the sender and the receiver based on the transmitted message. 2 Create a record.

As shown in FIG. 4, each record includes a service user ID (nOwnerUID), a message ID (nArticleID), a corresponding message ID (nPairArticleID), a related message bundle (nThread) to which the message belongs, and a message phase (RepOrder) in the bundle. ), At least one record field of a sender ID (nWriterID), a receiver ID (nReceiverID), a message title (nStrTitle), and a message content (nStrContents).                     

nOwnerUID indicates a user ID to which the first record and the second record are to be delivered, respectively. nArticleID indicates the storage address of the first message among the messages stored in the sender's user database 500. And nPairArticleID indicates the storage address of which number of messages stored in the user database 500 of the receiver corresponds to the first record.

nThread indicates the message bundle to which the transmitted message belongs, which original message is derived from (the original post, not the reply to a specific message), and follows the nArticleID of the original post. . That is, if the message sent is the original article, nThread follows nArticleID. And, if the sent message is a reply to the original article, nThread follows the nThread of the original article and nThread of the original article is the nArticle of the original article, so nThread in the reply to a specific message is the original article. NArticleID of.

RepOrder represents the phase of a sent message's affiliation in a message bundle. In the message bundle, RepOrder indicates the order in which the text is expressed and the indication of the text being entered for the hierarchical representation of the text.

For example, when the message bundle to which the message was sent belongs and the phase in the message bundle is expressed in the form nThread: RepOrder, 1: “”, 2: “”, 3: “”, 4 :: ”are each the first. Indicates the original post of the message bundle, the original post of the second message bundle, the original post of the third message bundle, and the original post of the fourth message bundle.

Here, when a message having nTread: RepOrder of 4: “” respectively is referred to as the first message, 4: 1 and 4: 2 indicate the first reply and the second reply (hereinafter referred to as the second message) for the first message, respectively. The title of the reply is displayed at predetermined intervals from the column where the original post title begins. Also, 4:21, 4:22, and 4:23 indicate the first reply, the second reply (hereinafter referred to as the third message), and the third reply to the second message, respectively, where the title of each reply begins with the title of the second message. It is displayed at a predetermined interval from the column. Similarly, 4: 221 is the first reply to the third message, which is displayed at a predetermined interval from the column where the title of the third message begins.

nWriterID indicates the ID of the user who created the message, nReceiverID indicates the ID of the user who will receive the message, and nStrTitle and nStrContents indicate the subject and message content of the message, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 5, when user A sends a reply to a specific message to user B, application server 400 generates a first record and a second record for user A based on user A's message. Create

At this time, since the first record is for user A, nOwnerID of the first record becomes A, and nWriterUID and nReceiverUID become A and B, respectively. At this time, 300 and 21, nThread and nRepOrder, indicate that this message is the first reply to the second reply of the original post in the message bundle of ArticleID of the original post. In addition, nPairArticleID 400 indicates the storage address of the message stored in the user B's user database 500 of the second record, thereby logically connecting the first record and the second record.                     

In addition, since the second record is for user B, nOwnerID of the second record becomes B, and nWriterUID and nReceiverUID become A and B, respectively. In this case, nThread and nRepOrder 400 and 21 indicate that this message is the first reply to the second reply of the original post in the message bundle of the ArticleID of the original post. In addition, nPairArticleID 300 indicates the storage address of the message stored in the user A's user database 500 of the first record, and logically connects the first record and the second record.

Thus, for user A, the message is placed in a message bundle whose ArticleID of the original article is 300. If the title of the reply is expressed n intervals from the title of the original article, the title of the message is expressed 2 n apart from the start column of the title of the original article. Also, for user B, the message is placed in a message bundle whose ArticleID of the original article is 400, and the title of the message is expressed 2n apart from the start column of the title of the original article.

The application server 400 allows the first record and the second record to be stored in the user database 500 provided for the user A and the user database 500 provided for the user B, respectively. Thus, user A and user B each have authority to the first record and the second record, and can manage each record individually.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, user A and user B have deletion rights to the first record and the second record stored in the user database 500, respectively. Therefore, you can delete the saved record according to each user's selection.

For example, if user A deletes the first record, user A can no longer check the message through message client 200. However, user B can still acknowledge the message via message client 200 unless the second record is deleted.

At this time, each record may be stored separately in the terminal storage unit 100 of the user terminal according to the user selection. Thus, it is possible to block the accessibility of others to the record and to store the record for a considerable period of time.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the user A or the user B may store the first record or the second record in the terminal storage unit 100 of each user terminal through the message client 200. In this case, even if the first record or the second record is deleted from the user database 500 of the application server 400, the first record or the second record may be stored in the terminal storage unit 100 for a long time. It is possible.

Therefore, in particular, when a user wants to keep a specific record permanently or personally, the record is deleted from the user database 500, thereby preventing access by others and thus reducing the risk of data leakage. At the same time, since the record is stored separately in the terminal storage unit 100, personal records of the record can be kept permanently. In addition, the amount of records stored in the user database 500 is reduced, thus reducing the load on the user database.                     

Hereinafter, a method of transmitting and posting a message according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described through the above example in which user A transmits a message to user B.

When user A composes a message and sends it to user B (S100), the application server 400 generates a first record and a second record based on the outgoing message (S101). The first record and the second record are stored in the user database 500 for user A and the user database 500 for user B, respectively (S013).

At this time, the first record and the second record are each a service user ID (nOwnerUID), a message ID (nArticleID), a corresponding message ID (nPair ArticleID), a related message bundle (nThread) to which the message belongs, and a message phase in the bundle. And a record field of at least one of a RepOrder, a sender ID nWriterID, a receiver ID nReceiverID, a message title nStrTitle, and a message content nStrContents.

And the message ID of the first record is the corresponding message ID in the second record, the corresponding message ID in the first record is the second record as the message ID, and the first record and the second record are logical. Is connected. The message is represented to the user A and the user B according to the phase of the message in the related message bundle based on the nThread and RepOrder fields (S105).

That is, in case of user A, if nThread and nRepOrder of the first record are 300 and 21, the message becomes the first reply to the second reply of the original post in the message bundle of ArticleID of the original post. . And nPairArticleID 400 indicates the storage address of the message stored in the user B's user database 500 of the second record, and logically connects the first record and the second record.

Thus, for user A, the message is placed in a message bundle with an ArticleID of 300 in the original article. And when the title of the reply is expressed n intervals from the title of the original article, the title of the message is expressed 2 n apart from the start column of the title of the original article.

And, for user B, if nThread and nRepOrder of the second record are 400 and 21, the message is in the message bundle of ArticleID of the original article, the first reply to the second reply of the original article do. The nPairArticleID 300 indicates the storage address of the message stored in the user A's user database 500, and logically connects the first record and the second record.

Thus, for user B, the message is placed in a message bundle with an ArticleID of 400 in the original article. And when the title of the reply is expressed n intervals from the title of the original article, the title of the message is expressed 2 n apart from the start column of the title of the original article.

Since the first record and the second record are stored in user A's user database 500 and user B's user database 500, respectively, authority and management for each record is given to user A and user B, respectively. Therefore, user A or user B may delete each record according to the selection (S107, S109, S113). That is, if user A or user B does not want a particular record to be stored in user database 500, each user may delete the record stored in his or her user database 500.

At this time, according to the user selection, each record may be separately stored in the terminal storage unit 100 of the user terminal (S109, S111). In this case, the user can not only keep the message privately, but also block others' access to the record. It also helps to secure user database 500 capacity for record storage.

As described above, according to the present invention, messages exchanged between service subscribers appear for each service subscriber. That is, the message client indicates a list of service subscribers, and when the first user selects one of the second users shown in the list, a message exchanged between the first user and the selected second user appears.

In addition, each message is represented such that the phase of each message is represented in the associated message bundle. That is, the subject of the contents of the outgoing or incoming message can be roughly identified in relation to the related posts, and can be identified at a glance whether the original post or the reply, or the reply, is the reply to the post. .

In addition, messages are sent and received only between authorized users, so they are safe from spam and viruses.                     

In addition, since two records generated based on the outgoing message are stored in the sender's and receiver's databases, respectively, the authority and management of the posted posts can be conveniently performed by each user.
