Description

Cyber post-office box service system and method using the postal code}

The present invention relates to a cyber mailbox service, and more particularly, to create and assign a cyber mailbox for each address resident based on a real address using a zip code, and to use mail to deliver mail to each address or address resident. The present invention relates to a cyber mailbox service that is sent to a cyber mailbox.

At present, each residence where people live is given a unique address, and these addresses are grouped by certain area and given a unique postal code.

When we deliver mail to each place of residence, we use these postal codes in addition to the address of the place of residence, and the post office uses these postal codes to sort the items by region.

Everyone is registered at one address, and if you send mail to the other party, they will be sent to that address. In addition, mail intended for all residents of the place of residence other than that person is also sent to the address.

Moreover, all public mail, including public mail, bills and notices, will be sent to the address.

Therefore, if there is no person in the residence for a long time, important mails or announcements may not be delivered properly, resulting in inadvertent damage.

Of course, in recent years, e-mail has been developed so that a bill may be sent directly to an individual e-mail address rather than to an address.

However, current e-mail addresses are assigned to each individual, and since each individual is assigned an ID arbitrarily, there is a lack of uniformity.

In addition, only a person who knows the e-mail address of the other party can send the e-mail to the other party, and the e-mail address is almost impossible to send to the e-mail address unless the e-mail address holder teaches.

Moreover, if mail is to be sent to the address instead of to an individual, it is difficult to cope with current e-mail systems.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to assign a cyber mailbox having a unique e-mail address, which is a cyber mailbox address, to each address residents by using a postal code that distinguishes each address currently. It is to provide a cyber mailbox service system that can replace the mail sent to the e-mail.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for operating a cyber mailbox service on the aforementioned cyber mailbox service system.

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

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a cyber mailbox operating system to which the present invention is applied.

The first address 11 and the second address 21 is a building having a unique address, including a general home, a factory, a building, and the like.

The first address occupant 12 and the second address occupant 22 represent a person living in or working in the first address 11 and the second address 21.

The operator server 30 allocates a cyber mailbox having a cyber mailbox address, which is a unique email address, to residents (12, 22) of each address using a postal code, and sends an e-mail to the other party using a real postal address. Or, it is a system that allows you to receive mail sent to your actual mailing address by e-mail.

The web server 31 is a web configured to allow residents of each address (12, 22) to access a website using a web browser, to send mail to the recipient's cyber mailbox, and to check mail stored in their cyber mailbox. Present the document in the web browser of the resident (12, 22) of the address.

At this time, each address resident 12, 22 may send the mail to the cyber mailbox by inputting the actual address of the other party.

The cyber mailbox operating means 32 manages the cyber mailboxes assigned to the residents 12 and 22 of each address, and receives the actual mail address through the web site of the web server 31 and converts the cyber mailbox address into a cyber mailbox address. Store mail in the cyber mailbox.

Mail server 33 allows to send or receive e-mail, each address resident (12, 22) allows you to check the mail stored in their cyber mailbox.

In addition, when the recipient confirms the mail, the mail verification fact is stored in the sender's cyber mailbox so that the sender can know whether the mail has been opened.

Furthermore, by using authentication and encryption between servers, recipients, and senders, it is possible to provide registered mail and courier services.

The database 34 stores all data necessary for the operation of the operator server 30, such as a data table in which the actual address and the cyber mailbox addresses assigned to the respective address residents 12 and 22 are matched and the data stored in each cyber mailbox.

2 is a flowchart showing a cyber mailbox service operating procedure of the present invention.

First, the operator registers his / her own address (11, 21) from each address resident (12, 22) through the web site operated by the web server (31) and gives each resident (12, 22) an ID. (Step 201).

Such address (11, 21) includes the address registered on the resident registration department and the work address to which he currently belongs.

The cyber mailbox operating means 32 generates a cyber mailbox address which is an e-mail address for each resident 12 and 22 by coding an assigned ID and address addresses 11 and 21 of registered residents. The occupants 12 and 22 are informed (step 202).

That is, if the residents (12, 22) enters the information including their address (11, 21), name and the desired ID in the corresponding column of the website, the cyber mailbox operating means 32 is entered address (11, 21) It generates a cyber mailbox address, which is a new e-mail address system that includes a postal code, a street address, and an ID, and displays it in real time through a website.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cyber mailbox address is largely divided into an area displaying a postal code of a residence, an area displaying each residence, and an area displaying an occupant of the residence.

In more detail, for example, if the first address occupant 12 who resides in 211-32, Heukseok 1-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, enters his first address 11, name and desired ID, cyber mailbox management means 32 searches the national postal code information stored in the database 34 to find the postal code (postal code of 151-861 at 211-32, Heukseok 1-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul).

Next, since the addresses of 182 to 235 all have the same postal code in the same Heukseok-dong, a separator capable of distinguishing the first address 11 is added to the postal code.

The delimiter includes all numbers, letters, and special characters that can be used as an e-mail address. However, it is preferable to use the address of the address as it is for convenience of use and memorization.

Next, the ID of the first address occupant 11 is added.

Since the ID is matched with the real name of the first addressee 11 and stored in the database 34, the person who wants to send the mail can send the mail to the corresponding party even if he / she inputs the name of the other party.

Each occupant 12, 22 is assigned a cyber mailbox with a cyber mailbox address generated as described above (step 203).

Residents 12 and 22 who have been assigned cyber mailboxes can access mails sent to their home address from anywhere in the world and access them using their ID and password.

When the first address resident 12 wants to send a mail to the second address resident 22, the first address resident 12 accesses a website operated by the web server 31, and has his / her ID and password. After logging in, the address of the second address 21 and the name of the second addressee resident 22, which is the addressee, are input in the addressee column (step 204).

When the input is completed, the web server 31 calls the cyber mailbox operating means 32 and transmits the input address and name to the cyber mailbox operating means 32. The cyber mailbox operating means 32 receiving the address and the name searches the database 34 and checks whether a person having the name is registered in the address and the address (step 205).

When the second address resident 22 is registered, the web server 31 displays the web document configured to send an e-mail to the second address resident 22 to the first address resident 12.

Residents of the first address 12 write the contents to be delivered to the web document, attach the necessary data, click the 'Send' icon, and the mail is sent (step 206), and the mail is sent to the database (34). In the second address resident 22's mailbox (step 207).

When the second address resident 22 accesses the website, enters his / her ID and password, and clicks the mail confirmation icon, the mail server 33 sends a cyber mailbox of the second address resident 22 of the database 34. The mail stored in the website is displayed through the website, and the second addressee resident 22 checks the mail stored in his or her mailbox (step 208).

When the second address occupant 22 confirms the mail, the mail server 33 stores the mail confirmation fact in the cyber mailbox of the first address occupant 12 that is the mail sender (step 209).

If the second address occupant 22 is not registered in step 205, the cyber mailbox operating means 32 generates a temporary cyber mailbox address using the received payee address of the second address occupant 22. And assigning the corresponding cyber mailbox (step 210).

When the temporary cyber mailbox is assigned, the web server 31 displays the web document configured to send an e-mail to the second addressee 22 to the first addressee 12.

Subsequently, the process is the same as in step 206 and step 209. In step 208, the operator notifies the second address resident 22 by phone or conventional mail, and confirms the receipt of the mail. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and functions can be added or changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, if the recipient is not specified in step 204 and wants to send mail to the address, the first address resident 12 can enter the address of the second address 21 to send the mail to the second address 21. Can be. In this case, the cyber mailbox operating means 32 may store the contents in the cyber mailboxes of all residents in the second address 21, including the second address residents 22.

In addition, since everyone must have an address on the resident registration department, a temporary ID is arbitrarily given to the residents (12, 22) belonging to each address (11, 21) based on the address, without separately registering the address from each resident. After granting, each resident can make changes in the future.

In addition, the mail server 33 may forward the mail stored in the cyber mailbox to its own e-mail address for interworking with the existing e-mail address of each registered residents 12 and 22. Conversely, you can forward mail from your other email address to your cyber mailbox.

Moreover, the present invention may further include an authentication server 35 and a UMS (Unified Message System) server 36 as shown in FIG.

The authentication server 35 grants user authentication after reconfirming the identity of the recipient in the process of checking the mail stored in his or her mailbox.

That is, through the authentication between the recipient, the sender, and the above-mentioned servers, security of important mails such as registered mail and courier service can be strengthened, and such an authentication server can utilize a separate authentication system linked to an external professional certification company. There is also.

UMS server 36 is a system that allows each resident to send and receive mails immediately without accessing a website. Each resident downloads and installs a plug-in type UMS agent program on his computer. By executing it, you can monitor in real time whether mail has been received in your mailbox, and you can check the mail immediately after confirming receipt.

As described above, the present invention assigns a cyber mailbox to residents of each address by using a postal code, a street number, and an ID for distinguishing the residents of the address based on the address, and mails delivered to each address. By substituting for e-mail, it is possible to solve the convenience of sending mail, reducing the amount of mail, and security of the mail.
