Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing benefits based on MO service, and there is provided a benefit providing system based on MO service, the system including: a service apparatus for identifying, if an event participation message including a Message Oriented (MO) identification is received, broadcast contents corresponding to the MO identification, setting recommended benefit information based on the identified broadcast contents or corresponding user information, and creating a response message including a service connection address capable of connecting to the set recommended benefit information.

Claims

1. A benefit providing system, the system comprising:

a service apparatus configured to;

identify broadcast contents corresponding to a Message Oriented (MO) identification in an event participation message received from a user terminal via a network,

set recommended benefit information for a user of the user terminal based on the identified broadcast contents or user information of the user,

generate a response message including a service connection address for accessing the set recommended benefit information, and

send the response message to the user terminal via the network; and

an affiliate company terminal configured to;

transmit a benefit registration request signal including at least one of identification information of an affiliate company, a benefit to be provided, and a benefit exposure condition to the service apparatus to register benefit information of the corresponding affiliate company in the service apparatus.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a user terminal configured to:

transmit the event participation message including the MO identification to the service apparatus,

access a benefit providing page through the service connection address included in the response message received.

3. A service apparatus comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a user terminal via a network;

an identification unit configured to identify a Message Oriented (MO) identification in an event participation message received from the user terminal, broadcast contents corresponding to the MO identification;

a benefit setting unit configured to set recommended benefit information for a user of the user terminal based on the identified broadcast contents or user information of the user;

a response processing unit configured to create a response message including a service connection address for connecting to the set recommended benefit information and transmit the response message to the user terminal;

a benefit database; and

a registration unit configured to receive a benefit registration request signal including at least one of identification information of an affiliate company, a benefit to be provided, and a benefit exposure condition from an affiliate company terminal, the registration unit configured to register benefit information of the corresponding affiliate company in the benefit database.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the benefit setting unit is configured to set at least one of benefits set to the identified broadcast contents, benefits of affiliate companies having a benefit exposure condition satisfying corresponding user information among affiliate companies supporting the identified broadcast contents, and benefits corresponding to preference information of the user among the benefits set to the identified broadcast contents as recommended benefit information.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a history management unit configured to receive connection information for accessing a benefit providing page or benefit use information from the user terminal and managing benefit history of the user.

6. The apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a broadcast contents database configured to store broadcast contents identification information and an MO identification set for each broadcast contents, wherein the identification unit identifies broadcast contents corresponding to the MO identification by searching the broadcast contents database.

7. A benefit providing method comprising:

receiving an event participation message including an MO identification from a user terminal by a service apparatus via a network,

identifying broadcast contents corresponding to the MO identification, by the service apparatus;

setting recommended benefit information for a user of the user terminal based on the identified broadcast contents or user information of the user, by the service apparatus;

creating a response message including a service connection address for accessing the set recommended benefit information, by the service apparatus;

transmitting the response message to the user terminal, by the service apparatus;

receiving a benefit registration request signal including at least one of identification information of an affiliate company, a benefit to be provided, and a benefit exposure condition from an affiliate company terminal and registering benefit information of the corresponding affiliate company, by the service apparatus.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the recommended benefit information is set by at least one of benefits set to the identified broadcast contents, benefits of affiliate companies having a benefit exposure condition satisfying corresponding user information among affiliate companies supporting the identified broadcast contents, and benefits corresponding to preference information of the user among the benefits set to the identified broadcast contents.
