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

1 is a block diagram of a typical SMS system.

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 network.

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, a mobile station (MS) 10, a base station transceiver system (BTS) 12, a BSC / MSC (base station controller / mobile switching center: base station controller / switch) (14), Home Location Register (HLR) (16), SMS Message Center (SMC) (18), SMS Server (20), Operating Management Center (OMC) ( 22), a CBC (Cell Broadcasting Center) 24, and an IP (Information Provider) 26 for cell broadcasting (CB).

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

The mobile communication terminal 10 is a terminal which the user can carry and communicate with while moving. The mobile communication terminal 10 uses a forward channel when receiving texts and a reverse channel when transmitting. At this time, all the text information uses a short message service (SMS), and when receiving, it uses an incoming (MT) SMS, and when using the outgoing (MO) SMS.

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

The mobile communication terminal 10 is logically connected to the short message service system (ie, including the SMC 18, the SMS server 20, the CBC 24, etc.) through the base station 12, the BSC / MSC 14, and the like. The connection is made.

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. Also, when sending a text message, the data burst message of the access channel is used when the message is within a certain length, and the data burst message of the reverse traffic channel is transmitted during the call or when the text message is longer than the predetermined length. .

The text message transmitted and received at the mobile communication 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 communication terminal 10 to the BSC / MSC 14, the digital channel device (DCU), time / frequency control device (TCU), radio frequency device (RFU), and position measurement system ( GPS).

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

Looking at the function of the BSC / MSC (14), the BSC connects the base station 12 to the MSC to coordinate the connection between the base station 12, a signal processing function for communication between the base station 12 and the MSC, MSC Interworking with the HLR (16), SMC (18) processes the call (Call) of the mobile communication member.

In addition, the MSC connects to the BSC to perform a call setup and release function of the mobile communication 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 various types of information of mobile phone members and has information on subscription of additional services such as SMS and CB.

The HLR 16 performs functions such as member location registration in connection with various BSC / MSCs, stores the mobile terminal 10 and the permanent information and location information of the member, and is mounted in the MSC. Interact with the Visitor Location Register (VLR), which temporarily stores member information related to (10), to support 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. (Teleservice Identifier: TI) 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.

If the SMC 18 is composed of a plurality of messages through the BSC / MSC (14) is sent to the appropriate SMC (18) through a Signaling Transfer Protocol (STP), this message is again sent through the signal exchange It is delivered to the BSC / MSC (14) of the other mobile communication 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, service type, etc. of the SMS member, and then 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 broadcast type information service, also called a cell broadcasting server (CB Server: CBS), is connected to the cell broadcasting IP 26 and receives information therefrom to transmit and schedule broadcast information messages. It performs core functions related to broadcasting information service.

2 is a block diagram of a volatile SMS system according to the present invention.

In the present invention, 'volatile SMS' refers to a method of sending a short message by sending a specific message in a short message, and when the recipient confirms and closes the mobile communication terminal, the short message is automatically deleted after a certain time has elapsed. I say. At this time, the short message proposed by the present invention includes a text message having a lower importance value as a specific time elapses such as text broadcasting, weather information, event information, and stock information for various sports.

Referring to Figure 2, the mobile communication terminal 10, short message center (SMC) 18, short message server 20, time counting unit 30, spam filtering unit 40 and short message confirmation / deletion unit It consists of 50.

The mobile communication terminal 10 is a synchronous or asynchronous user communication terminal that can be used in a CDMA network, a W-CDMA network, and includes a smart phone, a wireless notebook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like.

Short message center (SMC) (18) is linked with the short message server 20 serves to relay the short message is transmitted to the destination mobile communication terminal 10 to be transmitted through the signal exchange.

The short message server 20 inputs time count information to the short message to be transmitted to the called-party mobile communication terminal 10 so that the short message is immediately deleted when the receiving mobile communication terminal 10 confirms the short message, or It is a function to control the short message to be deleted automatically after a certain time by the set time count.

When the user checks the short message received by the incoming mobile communication terminal 10 in association with the short message server 20 as a timer function, the time counting unit 30 counts down by a time unit such as 1 minute or 5 minutes. It counts.

Spam filtering unit 40 is a short message sent in conjunction with the short message server 20, a specific phrase (eg hot encounter…) or a specific number (eg 060-***-****,…) When inserted, when the receiving mobile communication terminal 10 confirms (activates) the short message once, it functions to delete the same short message.

The short message checking / deleting unit 50 has a function of determining whether the short message received in association with the short message server 20 is confirmed by the user of the terminating mobile communication terminal 10 and the short message confirmed by the user. When a specific time elapses, the short message is automatically deleted.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a volatile short message service control process according to the present invention.

First, the sender creates a short message containing text broadcasting, weather information, event information, stock information, and the like for various sports, and transmits the short message using a short message service (SMS) (S10).

Then, the short message server 20 receiving the received specific information, for example, countdown (counting) time information is input to the short message transmitted from the calling party and sends a short message to the called mobile communication terminal 10 (S20). ~ S30).

Thereafter, the short message received by the incoming mobile communication terminal 10 is confirmed (S40). At this time, if the short message server 20 receives the data for the message confirmation from the short message check unit 40, the time counting unit 30 is controlled to count the specific time input to the short message (S50). .

Preferably, when the short message is confirmed by the terminating mobile communication terminal 10, the message may be immediately deleted without counting a specific time.

After counting the specific time, it is determined whether a predetermined specific time has elapsed (S60). If the predetermined specific time has elapsed, the short message server 20 controls the short message deleting unit 50 to control the short message. To be automatically deleted (S70).

As described above, according to the volatile short message control system and method according to the present invention, a user inputs a short message (spam advertisement, text broadcast, etc.) received by an incoming mobile communication terminal by inserting time count information into a short message to be transmitted. If you check it, it can be deleted immediately or after a certain period of time can improve the spam blocking effect and the hassle of having to delete unnecessary messages are duplicated. That is, user convenience can be increased.
