METHOD FOR DEALING WITH PLURAL MMS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of processing a plurality of MMSs, and more particularly, in a mobile terminal using a multimedia messaging service (MMS) function, when a user's portable terminal receives a plurality of MMSs, a plurality of MMSs are processed. It is about how to process.

In general, the 'WAP 1.x' standard was established under the initiative of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Forum for wireless data services that can provide IP (Internet Protocol) access and Internet services without limitation. Is playing a leading role in wireless data service.

However, the conventional WAP method is implemented to provide a service using a simple text menu method optimized for a low transmission bandwidth and a low specification portable terminal, and is a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) or IS-41 (Interim Standard-41). The Short Message Service (SMS) method used in the above is also implemented to provide a message delivery service in the form of short text of about 100 bytes.

Therefore, recently, the MMS (Multimedia Message Service) method proposed by the WAP Forum and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) International Standards Organization has been provided to break away from the text-based service described above and accommodate various high quality multimedia. The MMS method receives e-mails over the Internet or receives multimedia messages created from MMS-supporting terminals, classifies each MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) type, and classifies each classified media into a media format optimized for mobile device specifications. It takes a method of converting and storing, and when an e-mail or a multimedia message arrives, the receiver of the portable terminal user can check the multimedia message by notifying the receiver of the message.

1 is an exemplary diagram showing a conventional MMS service structure for message processing, as follows.

The MMS service structure includes an email server 111 for receiving a multimedia message in association with a sending client such as a PC through the Internet; A multimedia message processing unit (MTA: Mail Transfer Agent) 112 for processing a multimedia message received at the email server 111 by searching for and processing a profile of the receiver; An operator maintenance unit 114 that performs a message status or resource status and a system statistics function processed by the multimedia message processor 112; An MMS relay 110 having a web server 113 for transmitting a multimedia message to a receiving client such as a portable terminal and interworking with an IP network and processing a multimedia message; And an MMS service system 100 for providing a wireless multimedia message service through a corresponding MMS scheme, including an MMS server 120 for storing and managing the multimedia message. The web server 113 in the MMS relay 110 of the MMS service system 100 includes a WAP gateway 130 that cooperates to transmit a multimedia message to the portable terminal.

In addition, the conventional MMS protocol specification will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

2 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a protocol specification for interworking between the MMS relay 110 and a portable terminal (MMS user agent (UA)), wherein the MMS relay 10 is an e-mail service currently used in an IP network. For the interworking with the WAP service, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol and the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocol are used.

The portable terminal uses WSP (Wireless Session Protocol) protocol and HTTP protocol for interworking with MMS relay 110 through WAP gateway 130 or WA (Wireless Access) gateway.

In addition, the MMS relay 110 uses an SMTP protocol that is widely known as a current mail protocol for interworking with another MMS relay and a value added service (VAS).

3 is a flowchart illustrating a conventional MMS service method, which will be described below.

In this conventional MMS service method, the email server 111 of the MMS relay 110 interworking with the Internet according to the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) protocol is used to transfer multimedia files from the sender's PC. Receiving an attached email (S301); Recipient profile of the e-mail received by the multimedia message processing unit 112 (in this case, information on the use of the mobile terminal, that is, information on whether MMS support, resolution, color depth, memory capacity, etc.) Parsing the mail and converting the media (text, image, etc.) included in the mail to be optimized for the portable terminal of the receiver and storing the same in the MMS server 120 (S302); The multimedia message processing unit 112 establishes a WAP session through the web server 113 and the WAP gateway 130 indicating that a new multimedia message has been received using the HTTP protocol and sends a notification message to the receiver's portable terminal (M-Notification.ind). Sending a message or notifying the arrival of a text message by interworking with an existing Short Message Service Center (SMSC). (At this time, a message notified to the receiver's mobile terminal is a URI (Uniform) in which a newly arrived multimedia message is stored. Resource Identifier) information, and a scheduling transmission scheme that enables a sender to deliver a multimedia message at a desired time by applying a scheduling scheme to manage such message arrival notification (S303); And a portable terminal receiving the arrival notification message of the new multimedia message first transmitting a response message (M-Notifyresp.ind) to the MMS relay 110 through the WAP gateway 130 (S304). Then, it is selected whether to receive the newly arrived multimedia message, reject the reception, or delete (S305).

When the newly arrived multimedia message is received, the MMS relay 110 approaches the MMS relay 110 using the URI of the multimedia message to be received by the 'GET' method of the HTTP protocol (S305 and S306). The multimedia message processing unit 112 of the relay 110 encapsulates the multimedia message (M-Retrieve.conf) converted according to the receiver profile according to the HTTP protocol to establish a WAP session through the web server 113 and the WAP gateway 130. Set to transmit to the portable terminal of the receiver (S307).

On the contrary, when the multimedia message (M-Send.req) written in the portable terminal is to be transmitted to the portable terminal supporting the Internet or the MMS service, the multimedia message written in the portable terminal is transmitted through the WAP gateway 130 to the MMS relay 110. The multimedia message processing unit 112 of the MMS relay 110 converts the multimedia message into an e-mail format or a multimedia message for transmission to the portable terminal of the receiver, and then transmits the multimedia message to the portable terminal of the Internet or the receiver.

Hereinafter, a conventional MMS service flow will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the multimedia message (M-Send.req) created by the transmitting mobile terminal is transmitted to the MMS relay 110, and the MMS relay 110 transmits a response message (M-Send.conf) to the corresponding multimedia message. Transfer to a portable terminal.

The MMS relay 110 transmits an arrival notification message (M-Notification.ind) for the corresponding multimedia message to the receiving portable terminal, and the receiving portable terminal responds to the corresponding arrival notification message (M-NotifyResp.ind). ) Is transmitted to the MMS relay 110.

In addition, when the receiving portable terminal desires to receive the corresponding multimedia message, the receiving portable terminal transmits a transmission request message (HTTP GET.req) for the corresponding multimedia message to the MMS relay 110 in a 'GET' manner of the HTTP protocol.

Accordingly, the MMS relay 110 transmits the converted multimedia message (M-Retrieve.conf) to the receiving portable terminal, and the receiving portable terminal responds to the converted multimedia message (M-Notifyresp.ind or M). -Acknowledge.ind) to the MMS relay 110.

Thereafter, the MMS relay 110 transmits a transmission confirmation message (M-Delivery.ind) to the transmitting portable terminal confirming that the multimedia message has been delivered to the receiving portable terminal.

In addition, the MMS relay 110 transmits a read confirmation message (M-Read.rep) to confirm that the receiver of the receiving portable terminal has read the corresponding multimedia message, and the MMS relay 110 transmits the read confirmation message (M). Send Read.rep) to the sending portable terminal.

However, according to the conventional technique described above, the TCP / IP protocol should be used to perform the action on the MMS notification, and the action may be performed when the traffic channel is not available by voice call or other application. Therefore, there is a problem that does not display any information on a plurality of received MMS notification.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention can receive information on the next MMS notification by treating it as a Defer Fail in a situation where a plurality of MMS notifications cannot be performed and an action cannot be performed. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of processing a plurality of MMSs, which enables a user to know information on a plurality of MMS notifications.
