Method for service confirmation of SMS transfer result {Method for service confirmation of SMS transfer result}

The present invention relates to an SMS transmission result confirmation service method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a service method for confirming a reception result of a short message to a calling subscriber in real time when the called subscriber receives an SMS message to the calling subscriber that has sent the SMS short message.

As mobile communication becomes more popular, providers of mobile communication and mobile phones are trying to provide more various services to users. In addition to a simple call connection through a mobile communication system, various additional services such as providing information through a short message service, e-mail, and surfing the web are being performed.

The handset is also miniaturized and lightened in the terminal itself, and in terms of functionality, it is maximizing user convenience by adding and improving additional functions such as electronic organizer, alarm, and clock in addition to functions for call service. If a new function, which is organically combined with other functions of such a mobile phone or an additional service of mobile communication, is added to the mobile phone, it will be able to supply high quality service to the user.

SMS stands for Short Message Services. SMS is a service that transmits data of relatively short length (usually 80 to 160 bytes) in mobile communication networks.

This SMS is a service that is naturally created as digital data is transmitted between the mobile network and between the base station and the mobile terminal as the mobile network evolves digitally.

As shown in FIG. 1, such an SMS system includes a mobile station (MS) 10, a base station transceiver system (BTS) 12, and a BSC / MSC (control station / exchange station: Base Station Controller). / Mobile Switching Center (14), HLR (Home Location Register) (16), SMC (Short Message Center) (18), SMS Server (20), OMC (Operation Management Center: Operating A Management Center) 22, a CBC (Cell Broadcating Center) 24, and a Cell Broadcasting (CB) IP (Information Provider) 26.

The mobile terminal 10 is within the range of any base station 12, the information of the mobile terminal 10 is transmitted to the base station 12 and the BSC / MSC 14 that controls it, the BSC / MSC (14) Information transmitted from the mobile station is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 via the base station 12.

The mobile terminal 10 is a terminal that a user can carry and communicate with while moving. The mobile terminal 10 uses a forward channel when receiving texts and a reverse channel when transmitting. The text information is SMS. When receiving, the mobile SMS is used, and when the SMS is transmitted, the mobile SMS is used.

The mobile terminal 10 is a terminal capable of duplication of messages using a history of a service range number (SCN) and a message identification number (MID) pair (Pair), and is registered in SMS and CB services.

The mobile terminal 10 has a logical connection to the short service system (that is, including the SMC 18, SMS server 20, CBC 24, etc.) through the base station 12, BSC / MSC 14, etc. Is done.

In general, a mobile communication system uses a data burst message of a paging channel of a CDMA mobile communication system upon reception, and data of a forward traffic channel when a user is busy. Send the text message as a burst message. In addition, when a text message is transmitted, a data burst message of an access channel is used when the message is within a certain length, and a data burst message of a reverse traffic channel is used during a call or longer than a predetermined length.

The text message transmitted and received at the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the BSC / MSC 14 through the base station 12 for high frequency signal processing and call processing.

The base station 12 connects the mobile terminal 10 to the BSC / MSC 14, the digital channel unit (DCU), time / frequency control unit (TCU), radio frequency unit (RFU), and positioning system (GPS). ) And the like.

In addition, the base station 12 performs a wired / wireless conversion function of communicating with the mobile terminal 10 via wireless and communicating with the BSC / MSC 14 by wire.

Looking at the function of the BSC / MSC (14), the BSC is connected to the base station 12 to the MSC to coordinate the connection between the base station 12 and the signal processing function for communication between the base station 12 and the MSC, the MSC It processes the mobile communication member call in association with the HLR 16 and the SMC 18.

In addition, the MSC connects to the BSC to perform call setup and release functions of the mobile terminal 10, and performs various functions related to call processing and additional services.

The BSC / MSC 14 is responsible for routing general calls, SMS messages, and the like.

The HLR 16 is connected to the BSC / MSC 14 and the SMC 18 and manages a variety of information of mobile phone members. The HLR 16 has information on subscription of additional services such as SMS and CB.

The HLR 16 performs a function such as registering a member location by interworking with various BSC / MSCs, and stores the mobile terminal 10 and the permanent and member information of the member, and the mobile terminal 10 mounted in the MSC. It interacts with an unshown Visitor Location Register (VLR), which temporarily stores member information related to the user's information, and supports various functions related to call processing and supplementary services.

The SMC 18 is connected to the BSC / MSC 14, the HLR 16, the SMC 18, and the OMC 22 to play a key role in SMS processing, to set SMS parameters, and to identify a communication service identifier of an input signal. (TI: Tele service Identifier) and destination address (Destination Address) to send a message to the network element to be processed.

In particular, the SMC 18 transmits a signal input from the BSC / MSC 14 to the SMS server 20 when the message is set to the SMS server 20.

When the SMC 18 is composed of a plurality of messages through the BSC / MSC (14) is sent to the appropriate SMC (18) through the Signaling Transfer Protocol (STP), this message is again sent through the signal exchange Is transmitted to the BSC / MSC 14 and transmitted to another mobile terminal.

The SMS server 20 interworks with the OMC 22, the CBC 24, and the IP 26, and in particular, interworks with the SMC 18 to store the terminal type and service type of the SMS member, and then stores the corresponding communication service identifier. Information from the outside is transmitted to the SMC 18 using the TI.

The CBC 24 is a server that works with broadcasting type information service, also called a cell broadcasting server (CBS: CB Server), is connected to the cell broadcasting IP 26 and receives information from the transmission and scheduling of broadcast information messages. It performs core functions related to broadcasting information service.

The SMS short message transmission result checking process of the SMS system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the calling subscriber selects a menu corresponding to sending a message from a menu embedded in the mobile terminal 10, and then creates a short message using various character button keys.

Thereafter, after inputting the called party's telephone number of the other party to which the prepared short message is to be transmitted, the short message transmission is attempted.

At this time, the transmission of the prepared short message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber 10-> BSC / MSC 14-> Signal Exchanger (STP)-> SMC 18-> mobile subscriber 10 of the calling subscriber. It is delivered (S11 ~ S14), the short message is again sent to the mobile terminal 10 of the SMC (18)-> signal exchange (STP)-> BSC / MSC (14)-> called subscriber (S15 ~ S17) .

However, in the conventional SMS transmission result confirmation, only the short message transmission result until the reception of the SMC 18 can be known, and in fact, the arrival of the short message to the mobile terminal 10 of the other party (called subscriber) (influence of the radio wave environment). Due to the short message may not be transmitted to the base station).

In addition, the phrase of the existing SMS transmission result is a variety of phrases for each mobile communication service provider, for example, the message "successful message transmission" is displayed on the terminal of the calling subscriber to provide the unified short message transmission results to the customer. Could not.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above problems, the present invention is to confirm the short message reception result in real time when the receiving subscriber receives the SMS message to the calling subscriber sending the SMS short message to the calling subscriber again and again Its purpose is to provide a phrase confirming the delivery result of a unified short message.

As the technical idea for achieving the above object of the present invention

In the SMS transmission result confirmation service method,

Transmitting a short message created in the calling terminal to the SMC for sending to the called terminal;

Transmitting a result of transmitting a short message to the calling terminal in the SMC;

Transmitting a short message of the calling terminal to the called terminal in the SMC; And

It provides a SMS transmission result confirmation service method comprising the step of re-delivering the short message reception result in the called terminal to the calling terminal through the SMC.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the configuration and operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an SMS transmission result checking service process according to the present invention. The configuration of the SMS system according to the present invention is the same as that of FIG. 1 and will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, a calling subscriber first selects a menu corresponding to a message sending from a menu embedded in the mobile terminal 10, and then creates a short message using various character button keys.

Thereafter, after inputting the called party's telephone number of the other party to which the prepared short message is to be transmitted, the short message transmission is attempted.

That is, the transmission of the prepared short message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber 10-> BSC / MSC 14-> STP-> SMC 18-> mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber. (S21 ~ S24), the short message is again SMC (18)-> signaling switch (STP)-> BSC / MSC (14)-> mobile terminal 10 of the called subscriber-> mobile terminal of the calling subscriber (10) (S25 ~ S28).

At this time, when a short message is received by the mobile subscriber 10 of the called party, the SMC 18 completes the message transmission to “01 *-***-****,” for example, the reception result of the corresponding message. ”Is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber in real time.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber recognizes that the short message is successfully transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 of the other party (called subscriber).

That is, in the related art, the transmission result of the SMS short message can be confirmed until the SMC 18 is received. However, according to the present invention, the SMS short message reception result can be confirmed until the reception terminal receives the mobile terminal 10. The short message may not be transmitted to the base station due to the influence of the radio wave environment, and the mobile terminal 10 of the calling subscriber may determine whether the short message is lost in real time.

In addition, in the present invention, the BSC / MSC 14, the HLR 16, the SMC 18, and the SMS server 20 interwork with each other to set a message transmission phrase service standardized by an Originating Service Features Indicator (O-SFI). To unify the standardized phrase "for message sent" before sending the short message, for example to "01 *-***-****." Can be delivered to the mobile terminal of the calling subscriber.

Here, the O-SFI of the present invention defines a feature activation state of the terminal, and can set standardization (standardization) of the SMS transmission result display in the terminal.

That is, the O-SFI is a field for setting whether to use the additional service of the caller with the values set in the HLR 16, the MSC 14, and the SMC 18. O-SFI field is already created. Based on this, when applied to the SMS transmission result checking service, a flag (FLAG) should be set and transmitted when the sender's message is transmitted.

To this end, when the SMS transmission result confirmation service is set in the outgoing subscriber information of the HLR 16 and the MSC 14, a flag is formed in the message and transmitted to the SMC 18, the SMC 18 receives the message. It is possible to provide an SMS transmission result confirmation service by checking whether the city flag is set.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the receiving subscriber receives the SMS message to the calling subscriber who sends the SMS short message, the receiving result of the short message is confirmed to the calling subscriber again in real time and the transmission result of the unified short message. You can provide confirmation text.

That is, according to the present invention, the short message is not transmitted to the base station due to the influence of the radio wave environment by confirming and enabling the reception result of the SMS short message until the mobile terminal is received by the called party, as well as whether the short message is lost or not. You can check in real time from the mobile terminal. Therefore, the user's convenience can be increased.
