Description

Device and notification method of a terminal receiver using SMS and its method {Device and the Method for sending and conforming the state information of mobile phone receiver by using short message services}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for notifying a sender of status information of a mobile terminal receiver using SMS, and in particular, in a mobile terminal having a business mode function, when the receiver cannot knowingly receive a call, The present invention relates to an apparatus for notifying status information of a terminal receiver using an SMS for transmitting a status of the situation and a method thereof.

If you are in a place or situation where a recipient cannot receive an incoming call or can't easily move to a place where you can make a call (e.g., important meetings, classes, worship, driving, etc.) It is often embarrassing that there is little means to inform the sender of the situation of the recipient and the scheduled time for a call.

Conventionally, despite the anxiety that the terminal receiver may miss an important call when it is unable to make a call in such a situation, the receiver had to turn off the terminal. The only problem is that you can hear the vague message "Situation" and cannot know when it is possible for the sender who wants to talk again.

In order to solve the above vagueness, in recent years, some mobile communication terminals have a function of recording and guiding their own situation directly by the nurturing of the receiver, but have to face a lot of situations that are rapidly changing during the day. It is also cumbersome for modern people to repeat the process of recording and erasing by hand in every changing situation.

In addition, voice recordings must be made aloud so that the recording must be done only in places other than public places that do not harm others. If you enter a place, or forget to record and store the call, you can turn off the device without any way to guide the receiver's situation. It's just a functional feature.

Therefore, it was still vague that the sender who wanted to talk again had the situation of the recipient who was most curious and when it was possible to talk again.

Therefore, in an improved terminal, if the receiver is in a place where the receiver cannot answer or move easily, it is possible to set the scheduled time for the call in advance by simply operating the setting button and dial without turning off the terminal. It is meant to guide the time.

Even when the user's situation and time guidance voice message is being transmitted, the receiver can switch to the call selection mode at any time if he / she wants to talk, thereby releasing anxiety that the receiver can miss an important call.

In addition, even when the receiver is unable to talk, the situation and time guidance can be given to the caller to gain trust from the sender, and the sender can determine when it is possible to talk directly with the receiver. Even when you can't afford it, you can avoid the frustration of having to re-dial a few times with vague expectations.

However, there is a problem in that the load of the system is excessively increased by managing both the status information and the time of the receiver in the conventional technology in the mobile communication system. There is a serious problem that may inform you of the status information and may face the risk of privacy exposure.

In addition, since the sender can know the status information of the receiver through the announcement only when the call is made, an unnecessary call occurs, leaving the sender with a misunderstanding regardless of the receiver's intention.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned general problems. In the mobile communication terminal having a business mode function according to the status information of the receiver terminal, the receiver is unable to answer the call due to the situation where the receiver cannot pitch. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device and a method for notifying status information of a terminal receiver using an SMS for transmitting a status of an SMS to an SMS.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an apparatus for notifying a sender of status information of a mobile communication terminal receiver by using an SMS, wherein the SMS message data of a content of the terminal receiver to transmit its status to the sender under the control of a microprocessor SMS processing unit for processing a; status information SMS setting unit for setting the status information according to the status of the terminal receiver; and predetermined information set in the status information SMS setting unit from the receiver terminal to the counterpart sender terminal Status information is sent to the SMS transmission unit.

When the status information of the receiver is transmitted from the terminal to the base station through the status information SMS sending unit, the status information is sent through paging information or SMS and PMS, and the status information sending process of the status information SMS sending unit is performed through a reservation process or a reservation field in a paging message. When the status information of the terminal receiver is changed, the receiver resets the status information SMS according to the changed SMS status information of the terminal through the user interface (UI) of the terminal.

The status information SMS setting or resetting may also be performed through access to a related Internet site in a mobile communication service.

The present invention also provides a method for notifying a sender of status information of a mobile communication terminal receiver using an SMS, wherein the caller terminal is received in a business mode in which a call signal is received from the sender terminal and the reception state of the terminal receiver is unreceivable. And storing the information in the recent call list and, if the mode is to transmit the received status of the terminal receiver to the sender terminal after SMS, formatting the SMS message and transmitting the SMS message to the sender terminal.

If the reception state of the terminal receiver is in a receivable mode, notifying the receiver that a call has been received, and storing information of the sender terminal in a recent call list after the call is terminated, and sending the reception state of the terminal receiver to an SMS. If the mode is not transmitted to the terminal, the voice message is processed.

The SMS message formatting includes contents according to the condition of the receiver of the terminal and can be changed. The SMS message formatting can also be performed through access to the related Internet site in the mobile communication service. You can also do it.
