According to the mail service system using the Internet configured as described above, a mail service method using the Internet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the user accesses the web mail server 10 through the Internet to sign up for a web mail account, and establishes a client mail account for receiving personal information such as user's age and hobby and mail received through the web mail account. When input, the web mail server 10 stores the web mail account information, the client mail account information according to the web mail account, and the user personal information in the user DB 20.

In this state, when a mail is received by the web mail service or the web mail account by the POP service (S1), the web mail server 10 checks the mail sender and compares the user information stored in the user DB 20 to the mail sender. Determine the recognition (S2). At this time, the web mail server 10 determines whether the sender's mail account exists by searching the web mail account information stored in the user DB 20 and the client mail account information set according to the web mail account to determine whether the mail sender is a member. do.

The web mail server 10 determines that the mail sender is a member when the mail sender's mail account is retrieved from the web mail account information stored in the user DB 20 or the client mail account information set according to the web mail account. The user data stored in the DB 20, i.e., personal information such as the age and hobby of the mail sender, extracts information data suitable for the characteristics of the mail sender such as advertisements and living information from the information data DB 30 (S3). However, if the mail sender's mail account is not retrieved from the web mail account information stored in the user DB 20 or the client mail account information set according to the web mail account, the web mail server 10 determines that the mail sender is not a member. From the information data DB 30, information data such as general advertisements, living information, and advertisements for inducing membership is extracted (S4).

Then, the web mail server 10 checks the mail recipient of the received mail (S5), and the information is based on the mail recipient stored in the user DB 20, that is, the personal information such as the age and hobby of the recipient according to the web mail account information. From the data DB 30, information data suitable for the characteristics of the mail recipient such as advertisement and living information is extracted (S7).

Thereafter, the web mail server 10 determines whether a file is attached to the received mail (S7). If the file is attached to the received mail, the web mail server 10 separates the file (S8) and transmits it to the virus processing unit 40. Then, the virus processor 40 determines whether a file is infected with a virus by checking whether there is a virus in the file transmitted from the mail from the web mail server 10 (S10).

At this time, if it is determined that the file separated from the received mail is infected with a virus, the virus processing unit 40 treats the virus of the file (S11), and then transmits the file and the cleaned virus information to which the virus is treated to the web mail server 10. If it is determined that the file separated from the received mail is not infected with a virus, the virus processing unit 40 transmits virus information to the web mail server 10 that the file and the file are not infected with a virus.

Then, the web mail server 10 attaches to the received mail a file which is separated from the received mail transmitted from the virus processing unit 40 and the virus scan is completed, and extracted from the information data DB 30 according to the characteristics of the mail recipient. The data and the virus information transmitted from the virus processing unit 40 are combined with the received mail. At the same time, the web mail server 10 combines the receipt confirmation mail including the information data extracted from the information data DB 30 and the virus information transmitted from the virus processing unit 40 in accordance with the characteristics of the mail sender (S12). ). At this time, the recipient of the receipt confirmation mail is to be the sender account of the received mail, and the sender of the receipt confirmation mail is to be a web mail account which is a recipient account of the received mail.

Then, the web mail server 10 determines whether a file is attached to the received mail (S7), and if the file is not attached to the received mail, the information data extracted from the information data DB 30 according to the characteristics of the mail recipient. Is combined with the received mail, and the receipt confirmation mail including the information data extracted from the information data DB 30 is combined with the received mail according to the characteristics of the mail sender (S12).

Thereafter, the web mail server 10 stores the combined received mail in the mail storage unit 50 and simultaneously sends the combined mail to the client mail account set according to the recipient web mail account confirmed from the user DB 20. (S14). In this case, storing the combined received mail in the mail storage unit 50 allows the user to access the web mail server 10 through the Internet and use the web mail service. May be omitted.

In this way, the user can always receive mail with the same web mail account regardless of the change of the client mail account. If the user reads the mail forwarded to the mail client, the user will be able to Not only can you get data, you can also check whether the incoming mail is infected with a virus automatically. Since the virus is repaired and the mail is received, you can use the file attached to the mail without the risk of the virus.

In addition, when the recipient checks the mail, the receipt confirmation mail is automatically delivered by the mail client to the sender, so the sender not only knows that the mail was delivered correctly, but also automatically checks whether the mail sent by the receipt confirmation virus is infected. As a result, the virus-infected file can be transmitted to other third parties, thereby preventing the virus from spreading.

Then, when the mail recipient accesses the webmail server 10 with the webmail account information to check the mail received through the webmail account in the region where the mail client is not available, the webmail server 10 sends the mail. The user can read the received mail of the user account stored in the storage unit 50. At this time, when the user reads the received mail of the user account stored in the mail storage unit 50, the user can not only obtain the information data according to his characteristics, but also can automatically check whether the received mail is virus infected or not. And the mail is received so that the file attached to the mail can be used without the risk of a virus.When the recipient checks the mail, the receipt confirmation mail is automatically delivered from the web mail server 10 to the sender of the mail.

If the destination of the outgoing mail is a non-member, the information data DB 30 Extract general information data and information data to induce membership.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the file is attached to the sending mail of the web mail server 10, and if the file is attached, the file is separated and transmitted to the virus processing unit 40. Then, the virus processing unit 40 checks the virus of the file, and if the file is infected with a virus, the virus is treated and then the virus-infected file and the cleaned virus information are transmitted to the web mail server 10 or the file is virus. If it is not infected, virus information is transmitted to the web mail server 10 that the file and the virus are not infected. Then, the web mail server 10 attaches the file transmitted from the virus processing unit 40 to the outgoing mail, combines the extracted information data and virus information according to the recipient characteristics of the outgoing mail, and the outgoing mail. An acknowledgment file containing the extracted information data and virus information according to the sender characteristics is combined in the outgoing mail. Thereafter, the web mail server 10 stores the combined sent mail in the mail storage unit 50 and simultaneously sends the combined mail to the recipient account.

If the file is not attached to the outgoing mail, the web mail server 10 combines the outgoing data extracted according to the recipient characteristics of the outgoing mail into the outgoing mail and at the same time, extracts the information data according to the sender properties of the outgoing mail. Combining the acknowledgment file with the outgoing mail. Thereafter, the web mail server 10 stores the combined sent mail in the mail storage unit 50 and simultaneously sends the combined mail to the recipient account.
