Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for certifying an outgoing telephone number,

Smartphone, mobile phone, ordinary telephone, text, SMS, MMS, LMS

Authentication technology using authentication certificates, Ipin, mobile phones, ARS, etc. is widely used, and it is possible to confirm the owner of a text telephone number by using this technology.

As the number of mobile phone users increases, the number of text messages is increasing. Especially, as the text message service is activated, the amount of spam is also increasing.

Among these, there is an increase in the number of cases in which the recipient is harmed by causing a confusion to the recipient and inducing the user to move to the illegal site by sending letters by stealing the telephone number of the authorized institution or organization by abusing the fact that the call number is inputted arbitrarily In this case, the caller is different, so it is difficult to trace and it is hard to punish.

You can prevent automatic reception by registering a suspect phone number on your cell phone or smartphone opt-out list, but if you add a suspicious phone number to the opt-out list, you may not be able to identify the actual required character.

In the present invention, when an outgoing telephone number is arbitrarily inputted and a text is sent out, such as a text sending service or a change of a sender of a smart phone, the outgoing telephone number and the owner are checked and the text is transmitted only when the owner of the telephone number is authenticated The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting an authenticated case and an unauthenticated case separately.

According to the present invention, since the text can be sent only to the telephone number of the user, the spam is also reduced. In addition, illegal characters are greatly reduced and the caller can be easily tracked. Can be.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are illustrations of a system configuration diagram according to the present invention.
Figures 3 and 4 are exemplary flow diagrams according to the present invention.

In the present invention, when an outgoing telephone number is arbitrarily inputted and a text is sent out, such as a text sending service or a sender change function of a smart phone, the owner of the outgoing telephone number is checked and the text is sent only when the owner of the telephone number is authenticated Or a case where an authenticated case is not authenticated and a case where the case is not authenticated.

Phone numbers that change frequently, such as secure phone numbers, are excluded from the authentication subject and treated as unauthorized characters.

First, we define the terms as follows.

A user is a person who wants to send or sends a text. It may be an individual or a corporation.

The identification information is information for identifying the user. The identification information may be a resident registration number or a mobile phone number in the case of an individual, a resident registration number or a business registration number in the case of an individual business entity, a corporation number or a business registration number in the case of a corporation, Can be used.

The letter sending service is a service that allows a large amount of characters to be sent using a web or application program such as a root, a bulletin board, a letter country, and the like.

The originating telephone number or calling party telephone number is a telephone number input by the user, and is a telephone number to be authenticated according to the present invention because it can be input differently from the actual telephone number of the user.

There are various ways to check the owner of the phone number entered by the user as follows.

First, in cooperation with each communication company, it requests confirmation from each communication company and receives the result.

Since the communication company may be different even in the same station number, the user for the telephone number selects the communication company.

Step 1, send the phone number and identification information to the carrier.

In step 2, the communication company retrieves the telephone number, checks whether the telephone number is the service number of the user, and proceeds to step 3 if the telephone number is the service number of the user. If the telephone number is not the service number of the user, Returns the number.

Step 3, check whether the identification information is the owner of the phone number and return the result.

The user can sequentially request the communication company that can service the telephone number without selecting a communication company. If the telephone number can not be found in the step 2, the user proceeds to step 1 and requests confirmation from another communication company.

Second, it is possible to automatically log in to the communication company using the technique such as scraping and inquire the information.

Third, if the entered phone number is a phone capable of receiving a cell phone or other characters, the authentication code is sent to the corresponding phone number. When the user inputs the authentication code, the authentication code is confirmed and authenticated.

You can add your own authentication process, such as a mobile phone authentication service, an official certificate, or an IPhone.

Fourth, when a user who wants to be authenticated requests an authentication code, he shows the authentication code on the screen and inputs the authentication code to the ARS server using the input phone. Or, the user inputs a verification code And enter the verification code into the computer.

It is applied to the case of a general telephone which can not receive a character, and it is also possible to add a personal authentication procedure.

Fifth, submit a confirmation letter stating the phone number.

There are many other ways to do this.

First, a case of using a character sending service will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Since the mobile communication company does not have the information of the user sending the text, it authenticates using the authentication code as follows.

The user first accesses the authentication server and authenticates the telephone number to be used.

In step 1, the user accesses the authentication server, inputs a telephone number to be authenticated, and requests authentication.

In step 2, the authentication server authenticates the user by using various methods such as an authentication certificate, an IP phone, and a mobile phone authentication.

If the authentication fails, proceed to step 5 and display the error to the user.

In step 3, the authentication server confirms that the owner of the input phone number matches the user identification information using the above method.

If not, proceed to step 5 and display the error to the user.

In step 4, the authentication server issues an authentication code and stores the authentication code and telephone number in the database when the authentication is performed by the authentication server and the owner.

Of course, authentication codes use numbers or strings that can not be easily guessed.

You can specify the validity period of the verification code because the phone number owner can change.

In addition, the identification information can be stored together for later confirmation.

Step 5, if the authentication fails, the authentication server shows the reason for the failure to the user, and if successful, the authentication code is displayed to the user.

After verifying your phone number, follow the procedure below to send a letter.

Step 1, the user logs in to the text sending service and inputs and sends outgoing telephone number, recipient telephone number, and text contents.

At this time, the authentication code received from the authentication server is input together.

Of course, the text sending service provides the function of inputting the authentication code.

Step 2, the text sending service transmits the authentication code entered by the user to the mobile communication company together with information such as the originating telephone number, the recipient telephone number, and the character content.

In step 3, the mobile communication company transmits the calling telephone number and the authentication code to the authentication server to request authentication.

Step 4, the authentication server authenticates the phone number and authentication code as follows.

In step 4-1, an authentication request is received from the mobile communication company.

In step 4-2, the data matching the telephone number and the authentication code is retrieved from the database.

Step 4, step 3, if no data is retrieved, returns an unauthorized telephone number error.

In step 4-4, if the matching data is found but the valid period has elapsed, it returns an error that the valid period has elapsed.

In step 4-5, if the matching data is retrieved and the validity period has not elapsed, the result is normal.

At this time, the validity period may be returned together so that the mobile communication company does not request the calling telephone number and the authentication code again during the validity period.

Step 5, the mobile communication company receives the authentication result from the authentication server.

In step 6, the mobile communication company proceeds to step 7 for the authenticated outgoing phone number according to the authentication result, returns the error content for the unauthorized outgoing phone number, and blocks the transmission.

Step 7, the mobile carrier sends the text.

Since it is difficult to know the authentication code for the phone number of another person, this can not easily be used to steal the phone number of another person, especially a reputable organization or organization.

The mobile communication company may not be able to use the telephone number if the authentication code does not coincide with the same telephone number more than a predetermined number of times.

To send more characters, the user goes to step 1 to send the characters.

Once the validity period has elapsed, the user is again authenticated by accessing the authentication server.

In the case of sending a large number of texts at once, such as a call center, in the case of sending texts from time to time, designate a person in charge and request authentication again before the expiration date.

It is difficult to input a verification code when a caller's telephone number is changed by changing the telephone number of a caller on the mobile phone. On the other hand, since a mobile communication company can recognize a mobile phone transmitting a character and has information on a mobile phone subscriber, .

First, the user connects to the authentication server and executes steps 1 to 5 above.

However, since the authentication code is not used, the authentication server does not need to issue the authentication code, but instead stores the telephone number and the identification information.

A user who wants to change the telephone number by using the sender change function of the mobile phone and transmits the text message, authenticates the telephone number, and then sends the text according to the following procedure.

In the first step, the user sends a character using a mobile phone.

In step 2, the mobile carrier retrieves the user's information from the mobile phone that sent the text.

Step 3, the mobile communication company transmits the calling telephone number and the identification information inputted by the user to the authentication server.

Step 4, the authentication server retrieves the telephone number and identification information from the database.

In step 4-1, an authentication request is received from the mobile communication company.

In step 4-2, data whose telephone number and identification information match are retrieved.

Step 4, step 3, if no data is retrieved, returns an unauthorized telephone number error.

In step 4-4, if the matching data is found but the valid period has elapsed, it returns an error that the valid period has elapsed.

In step 4-5, if the matching data is retrieved and the validity period has not elapsed, the result is normal.

At this time, it is also possible to return the validity period so that the mobile communication company does not request the telephone number and the identification information again before the expiration date.

Step 5, the mobile communication company receives the authentication result from the authentication server.

In step 6, the mobile communication company proceeds to step 7 for the authenticated outgoing phone number according to the authentication result, returns the error content for the unauthorized outgoing phone number, and blocks the transmission.

Step 7, the mobile carrier sends the text.

When a mobile communication company is directly connected to a mobile communication company such as a bank and can recognize a character sender, it is possible to use one of the above two methods.

As described above, it is possible to deny dispatch of an unauthenticated originating telephone number at all, but it is also possible to distinguish between an authenticated case and an unauthenticated case, and as one of the methods, an authentication mark is added to the authenticated originating telephone number Or to add an indication of an unauthorized telephone number to an unauthorized outgoing telephone number.

Although we mentioned about sending texts above, it can also be applied to chatting between individuals or the like and can be applied to a telephone conversation.

Moreover, the above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and various modulations and modifications are possible.
