The mobile communication terminals 11 and 12 may transmit and receive data using a wireless communication network, and the wireless communication network may include code devision multiple access (CDMA), global system for mobile communication (GSM), and wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA). Call and data transmission and reception using the wireless communication network is already known and will not be described in detail.

In addition, if the mobile communication terminal is a terminal that supports IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems), the mobile communication terminal can be connected to the Internet network.

The IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) is an all-IP concept of network technology that integrates wired and wireless environments, and mobile terminal users can use one-to-many real-time group calls as well as two-way mobile games and instant communication in an integrated mobile communication environment. The messaging service can be used in real time.

The computer terminals 13 and 14 access a messenger using the Internet and perform call and data transmission and reception.

The server 15 manages to identify an IP address matched to a phone number of a mobile communication terminal, and the IP address is database to be managed by matching with an ID of a user logging in to a messenger, and a transcoder When transmitting and receiving data between the wireless communication network and the Internet network to convert the data by the coding scheme of the corresponding network and transmits.

For example, when data transmitted to a wireless communication network is transmitted through an internet network, data is coded using the G.729 method. When data transmitted to the wireless network is transmitted to a wireless communication network, the data is converted and transmitted using the QCELP method.

In detail, when data is transmitted from a terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a transmitting terminal) 11 to a terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving terminal) 12 to receive data, the server 15 transmits data to the receiving terminal 12. It is determined whether the user has logged in to the messenger, and if not, the data is transmitted to the receiving terminal 12 through the wireless communication network.

At this time, if the user of the receiving terminal 12 is logged into the messenger, the server 15 checks the corresponding IP address and transmits data to the computer terminal 14 to which the user has logged in via the Internet.

Here, the receiving terminal 12 notifies the user when data is received from the transmitting terminal 11 and allows the user to select a communication environment to receive. By selecting the communication environment, data may be received by a receiving terminal through a wireless communication network or may be received by a messenger via an internet network.

That is, when data is received, the reception terminal 12 notifies that the data is received on the screen window and receives a selection of a communication environment for receiving the data from the user.

When the wireless network is selected by the selection, data is received through the mobile communication terminal, and when the Internet network is selected, the data is received through the computer terminal where the user of the receiving terminal is logged in.

In addition, if the receiving terminal 12 is an IMS-based terminal, it may log in to a messenger using the terminal and receive data through the Internet network.

Similarly, the data transmitted from the computer terminal 13 can be received by the receiving terminal 12, and the data can be received by the receiving terminal 12 via the wireless communication network or the computer terminal 14 via the Internet network by the user's selection. To receive the data.

Accordingly, the present invention can transmit and receive data between a mobile communication terminal via a wireless communication network and a messenger via an internet network, and a user can select a communication environment for transmitting and receiving the data.

The call means 21 selects whether to transmit data to or receive data from the counterpart terminal, and selects a communication means for transmitting and receiving the data.

The RF module 22-2 transmits and receives data using a wireless communication network, and the protocol stack module 22-1 transmits and receives data to and from the Internet network using TCP / IP.

That is, the RF module 22-2 transmits and receives data to the corresponding terminal by using the telephone number, and the protocol stack module 22-1 transmits TCP / IP to the terminal corresponding to the ID and IP address logged into the messenger. Send and receive data.

The controller 23 controls the data to be transmitted and received by any one of the protocol stack module 22-1 and the RF module 22-2 when the user selects a communication means for transmitting and receiving data using the communication means.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal may selectively log in to a wireless communication network or a messenger to transmit and receive calls and data through the Internet network.

Referring to FIG. 3, data is transmitted to the other party (S31). Here, the terminal for transmission may be a mobile terminal for transmitting data to a wireless communication network through an RF module or a computer terminal for logging into a messenger via an internet network.

In addition, the mobile communication terminal may be a mobile communication terminal based on IMS and log in to a messenger through TCP / IP of a protocol stack module.

Thereafter, the counterpart terminal notifies the user that the data transmission is requested, and receives a selection of a communication environment for receiving data (S32).

That is, the user selects whether to receive data through a wireless communication network or log in to a messenger to receive data through an internet network.

Thereafter, if the selected communication environment is a messenger through the Internet network (S33), data is received by IP logged into the messenger using TCP / IP (S34).

That is, a user logs in to a messenger through a computer terminal or the like and logs in to a messenger through a mobile communication terminal supporting IMS and receives data through an internet network.

In addition, if the selected communication means is not a messenger, that is, a mobile communication terminal using a wireless communication network, data is received using the wireless communication network (S35).

Here, the server manages the telephone number and the IP of the terminal for transmitting and receiving data, and manages whether the user has logged in to the Internet through a messenger.

That is, an IP address matching the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal is managed by a database, and the IP address is managed by matching with the ID of the user logging into the messenger.

In addition, the server is provided with a transcoder (transcoder) when transmitting and receiving data between the wireless communication network and the Internet network converts the data by the coding scheme of the corresponding network and transmits.

For example, when data transmitted to a wireless communication network is transmitted through an internet network, data is coded using the G.729 method. When data transmitted to the wireless network is transmitted to a wireless communication network, the data is converted and transmitted using the QCELP method.

Therefore, the present invention can perform data transmission and reception and call with a mobile communication terminal of a wireless communication network even without a mobile communication terminal.

In addition, a mobile communication terminal of a wireless communication network can perform data transmission and reception and communication using a messenger logged in an Internet network.
