Description

Message transmission method of mobile communication terminal using PCLINK {METHOD OF MESSAGE TRANSMISSION ON MOBILE PHONE USING PC-LINK}

The present invention relates to a message service method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method of transmitting a long message including a sentence having a length longer than a predetermined sentence length using a PC link.

Short messages are the first to define a point-to-point service that allows the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) to send and receive messages of up to 155 octets between terminals for application to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Was introduced.

Short message is implemented by sending a message to DBM (Data Burst Message) by setting the service option on the IS-95A protocol of wireless data communication to 6 or 14.In order to receive the short message, the message is transmitted to or received from the mobile terminal. Software must be added. Therefore, in order to implement a short message, it can be implemented by adding an SMC (Short Message Center), which is a network element capable of processing a short message, to the existing network and supplementing the network protocol. The related protocol is defined in TIA / EIA / IS-637, and IS-95A is defined in the upper layer of TIA / EIA / IS-637. In addition, complementary content of the SMS network protocol is defined in TSB 79.

In recent years, mobile communication terminals have been widely used and widely used. Wireless mobile service subscribers can move freely and communicate anywhere, and they can receive information necessary for life in short messages.

For example, wireless mobile communication service providers provide news information, weather information, sports information, securities information, exchange rate information, traffic information, etc. to subscribers of wireless mobile communication services by using a short message service.

In recent years, a short message service function has been realized by using a personal computer (PC). That is, when the user accesses a communication network such as the Internet through a personal computer and selects the short message transmission function on the Internet web page, the user can access the subscriber's telephone number and the short message to be transmitted through the keyboard. You can send a short message by typing it.

However, the short message according to the prior art is limited to 40 characters (80 bytes) at a time, so that only a phone number or a simple memo can be delivered within a limited number of characters. Can't deliver. If you want to deliver more than 40 characters, you have to repeat the process of entering the phone number of the other party, entering the other party's phone number, asking for confirmation and transmission, and sending the message. For example, if you want to send about 120 characters, you have to repeat the above process 3-4 times and it takes a lot of inconvenience. In addition, since the data storage type of the short message is a POP-PUSH structure, the last received short message is displayed first when displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal. Therefore, even if you send several short messages connected to the content, you see the last one, and there is a problem that the content in the middle is broken.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for inputting and transmitting a long message having a length longer than a predetermined sentence length using a PC-Link.

Still another object of the present invention is to send a long text message having a length longer than the length of a predetermined sentence by using the PC link at a time without dividing the sender, and at the receiving side to receive the transmitted long text message as one message. To provide a method for.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, when the content of the message, the recipient's telephone number, the caller's telephone number is input by the user, determines whether there is a message transmission button input by the user, when the message transmission button input by the user When the capacity of the message input by the user exceeds the preset capacity, and when the message capacity input by the user exceeds the preset capacity, the message input by the user is determined in advance. It divides into the unit below the set capacity, sets the specific code value indicating the divided message in the data area of the divided message, assigns the index indicating the order of the divided messages to the data area in which the specific code value is set, and specifies the specific code. Data communication cable with values and indexed message data Through it characterized in that it comprises the step of transmitting to the mobile terminal.

PCLink is a program that supports mobile terminal function and electronic organizer function such as phone book management function, schedule management function, to-do management function, message management function and mobile terminal management function. For example, the phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal may be stored in the PC terminal through the data communication cable. If the mobile communication terminal is replaced with a new model, the phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal may be stored in the PC terminal and then stored in the new mobile communication terminal. Therefore, even if the phone number is not directly entered in the new mobile communication terminal, the old phone number can be stored and used in the new mobile phone using the PC link.

By using PC link installed in PC terminal, data such as phone number, schedule management, message, etc. of mobile communication terminal can be stored in user's PC terminal, and data modified through PC link in PC terminal can be saved in mobile communication terminal. have. When the PC link is executed and the origination message of the message management function is selected, a screen as shown in FIG. 2 is output to the PC terminal.

The first mobile communication terminal 100 receives the long message information created using the PC link from the PC terminal 106 and converts it into a radio frequency (RadionFrequency) signal suitable for data service. The first base station 102 transmits the long message information in the form of an RF signal received from the first mobile communication terminal 100 to the first network matching device 104. Here, the first network matching device 104 is operated such that the first mobile communication terminal 100 enables wireless network communication, and the first mobile communication terminal 100 is connected to the Internet. At this time, an exchanger (not shown) in charge of call processing and relaying functions for the first mobile communication terminal 100 is configured between the first network matching device 104 and the first base station 102 in which wireless network communication is performed. Is self explanatory.

The first network matching device 104 converts the protocol signal for the Internet service from the wireless network into a protocol such as TCP / IP suitable for Internet connection and outputs the long message information received from the first base station 102. It sends to the palm message service server 110 connected to.

The long message service server 110 stores the long message received from the first mobile communication terminal 100 through the first network matching device 104 connected to the Internet in the subscriber information database 122 and the long message database 124. do.

Thereafter, the long message service server 110 transmits the long message information stored in the subscriber information database 122 to the second network matching device 130 connected to the Internet. Here, the long message service server 110 uses the received telephone number stored in the subscriber information database 122 to operate the second network matching device 130 in which the second mobile communication terminal 138 is operated to enable internet communication. Figure out.

The second network matching device 130 outputs the long message information received from the long message service server 110 to the short message processing system 132 connected through the wireless network, and the short message processing system 132 is a long message. A short message indicating arrival arrives and is output to the exchange 134.

The exchange 134 transmits the long message title composed of the short message by the short message processing system 132 to the second mobile communication terminal 138 through the second base station 136.

The second mobile communication terminal 138 notifies the user of the second mobile communication terminal 138 of the long message via a short message indicating the arrival of the long message. When the user of the second mobile communication terminal 138 selects the received short message and inputs an acknowledgment signal, the second mobile communication terminal 138 receives the long message confirmation signal via the second base station 136 and the exchange 138. It transmits to the second network matching device 130 connected to the wireless network.

As the second network matching device 130 transmits the long message confirmation signal to the long message service server 110 connected to the Internet, the second mobile communication terminal 138 is in a state capable of internet communication with the long message service server 110. Is set.

In this case, the long message service server 110 requests input of a preset user ID and password for confirming the long message in order to authenticate the user of the second mobile communication terminal 138 connected through the long message information.

When the user of the second mobile communication terminal 138 inputs the user ID and password requested for user authentication, the long message service server 110 authenticates the user through the input user ID and password, and then enters the long message database 124. ) And transmits the long message content corresponding to the long message information to the second mobile communication terminal 138.

The user of the second mobile communication terminal 138 checks the long message transmitted by the first mobile communication terminal 100 based on the received long message content, and sends a reply message to the user through the second network matching device 130. It is sent to the long message service server 110 connected to the Internet. Here, the long message content is output to the second mobile communication terminal 138 through a web browser (not shown) configured in the second mobile communication terminal 138.

As described above, an operation for transmitting a long message in a long message transmission system to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

5 is an operation flowchart for creating and transmitting a long message using a PC link according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to send a long message using the PC link, it must be connected to the mobile terminal through the serial port of the user's PC terminal. The user selects an outgoing message in the message management menu by executing a PC link installed in the PC terminal.

First, if there is an input of the user's message transmission button in the outgoing message mode of step 500, the process proceeds to step 504 after checking in step 502. In the outgoing message mode, the contents of the outgoing message, the recipient's phone number, and the caller's phone number are input by the user. In step 504, the PC link determines whether the capacity of the outgoing message input by the user exceeds a preset message capacity. As a result of the determination, if the input message capacity exceeds the preset message capacity, the process proceeds to step 506. If the input message capacity does not exceed the preset capacity, the flow proceeds to step 512.

In step 506, the PC link divides the message input by the user into a predetermined capacity unit. The preset capacity is about 80 bytes. Thereafter, in step 508, a specific code value indicating that the message is divided is set at the beginning of the divided message data area. The specific code value indicates that a message exceeding a preset capacity is divided into a plurality of messages and transmitted. Thereafter, in step 510, an index is set after the specific code value of the message in which the specific code value is input. The index may be a transmission order of messages when a long message is divided into multiple messages and transmitted. The indexes are set in the divided order, and the value of the last index is set to "0". The message is sent from the sender in the order of the index, and the message receiver can be sent in the order of the index. Thereafter, in step 512, the message data assigned with the specific code value and the index are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal through a data communication cable.

As described above, in the long message transmission system to which the present invention is applied, the message sender for transmitting the long message is a user of the mobile communication terminal 100 using the PC link of the PC terminal 106, and the message receiver is the mobile communication terminal 138. ) User, the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 may send a long message to the mobile communication terminal 138 by using the PC link.

The mobile communication terminal 100 is connected to the serial port of the PC terminal 106 via a data communication cable. The user executes the PC link installed in the PC terminal 106 to select an outgoing message in the message management menu. If there is a message transmission button input after the long message is input by the user of the mobile communication terminal 100, the PC link determines whether the capacity of the message input by the user exceeds a preset capacity. If the capacity of the input message exceeds the preset capacity, the message is divided into preset capacity units.

For example, if the caller's phone number is 011-123-4567 and the receiver's phone number is 016-123-4567, the user says, "The seasons pass through the sky filled with autumn. It's all because I can't see the stars that are engraved in my heart anymore because it's easy for me to come, and my youth is not done yet ... " Can be. The message may be divided into three by dividing the data into predetermined capacity units, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D. The divided message is set to a specific code value at the beginning of the message data area. The specific code value indicates that the message is divided into several pieces and transmitted. For example, you can set a specific code value to "& LMS" at the beginning of the message data area. Set the index at the beginning of the data area of the message where a specific code value is set. For example, "& LMS # 1" is set at the beginning of the first split message data area. "& LMS # 2" is set at the beginning of the second divided message data area, and "& LMS # 0" is set at the beginning of the third divided message data area. A plurality of message data assigned a specific code value and an index to the message data area are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 100 through a data communication cable.

The mobile communication terminal 100 arranges the messages in the order of the index and transmits the messages to the receiving mobile communication terminal 138. Since the operation of transmitting a message from the mobile communication terminal 100 and receiving the message from the mobile communication terminal 138 is the same as described with reference to FIG. 1, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The mobile communication terminal 138 sorts the messages in the order of the indexes and sorts the data having an index of "0" value at the end. If there is an index that has not been transmitted, only the data that has not been transmitted within a predetermined number of times in the short message processing system is retransmitted to the mobile communication terminal 138. The mobile communication terminal 138 which has retransmitted the message data corresponding to the untransmitted index may arrange the message data in the order of the index so that the user of the mobile communication terminal 138 may check the long message. When the mobile communication terminal 138 has a function of viewing a long message, the user of the mobile communication terminal 138 can check the long message in the same manner as the general short message. The message management box configuration screen for confirming the long message is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. When the mobile communication terminal 138 does not have a function for viewing a long message, the long message may be checked through a wireless network connection using the mobile communication terminal.
