Abstract

Disclosed is an interception method that interworks with a communication network and an Internet network. A law enforcement agency system verifies whether an interception target presently uses an Internet service by using a terminal other than a terminal registered as the interception target on the basis of Internet service access information of the interception target. When the interception target uses the Internet service by using the other terminal, the law enforcement agency system updates interception target information on the basis of IP address information of the corresponding terminal, which is included in the Internet service access information and transmits the updated interception target information to a communication service provider.

Claims

1. An interception method in which a law enforcement agency system performs interception of an interception target with interworking with a communication service system and an Internet service system connected through a network, comprising

transmitting interception target information corresponding to the interception target to the Internet service system and the communication service system;

receiving Internet service access information collected on the basis of the interception target information from the Internet service system;

verifying a terminal which the interception target uses for using an Internet service on the basis of the Internet service access information; and

updating the interception target information to include information of the terminal in use and transmitting the updated interception target information to the communication service system.

2. The interception method of claim 1, wherein:

the transmitting the uadated interception target information includes;

when the interception target uses the Internet service by using a terminal other than a terminal registered as the interception target, updating the interception target information to include at least one of IP address information corresponding to the other terminal, user'"'"'s personal information, and terminal information; and

transmitting the updated interception target information to the communication service system.

3. The interception method of claim 2, wherein:

the verifying the terminal verifies the terminal used for the Internet service on the basis of the IP address information included in the Internet service access information.

4. The interception method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving communication verifying information and communication contents that are collected on the basis of the updated interception target information from the communication service system.

5. The interception method of claim 3, wherein:

the Internet service access information includes at least one of IP address information which the interception target uses for the Internet service, Internet service list of the interception target, and Internet service contents.

6. An interception method in which a communication service system performs interception of an interception target with interworking with a law enforcement agency system connected through a network, comprising:

receiving interception target information including terminal information of the interception target from the law enforcement agency system;

when the interception target uses an Internet service by using a terminal other than a terminal corresponding to the terminal information, receiving interception target information updated to include information corresponding to the other terminal from the law enforcement agency system; and

transmitting interception information collected on the basis of the updated interception target information to the law enforcement agency system.

7. The interception method of claim 6, wherein:

the law enforcement agency system receives Internet service access information collected on the basis of the interception target information from an Internet service system connected through the network and verifies a terminal which the interception target uses on the basis of the Internet service access information.

8. The interception method of claim 7, wherein:

the law enforcement agency system updates the interception target information on the basis of IP address information included in the Internet service access information when the interception target uses the Internet service by using the other terminal.

9. The interception method of claim 6, wherein:

the interception information includes communication identifying information and communication contents.
