2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a digital cellular mobile telephone system and a simple portable telephone system, an administrator of the mobile telephone network provides various services, for example, a service for notifying reception of an answering machine and storage of an answering machine message. doing. The type of this service is added at any time, and its version is being upgraded. In this case, it is necessary to upgrade the mobile phone accommodated in the mobile telephone network to receive a new service. For example, it is necessary to install a control program that executes a new communication protocol.

[0003] In other words, it is difficult for a mobile phone to cope with an advanced service to be added with its function as it is. In addition, PIA proposed standardization such as data transmission protocol conversion in order to facilitate access to the Internet and data communication in a simple cellular phone system.
Communication by FS (PHS Internet Forum Standard)
In many cases, a small computer is connected to a PHS mobile phone and used, and the use of a pen-operated data communication terminal that is easy to carry is small. This is because the pen-operated data communication terminal requires time for the operation. Thus P

The mobile telephone 11 inputs a specific telephone number (or special character / number) S3 for executing the upgrade transmission sequence from the operation unit 49 and wirelessly transmits the specific telephone number to the wireless base station 12 (FIG. 7). (4)). This specific telephone number is transmitted from the radio base station 12 to the mobile communication control station 13, and further transmitted to the server 14 through the communication control unit 35. The server 14 transmits the specific telephone number to the communication control unit 6.
The request reception control unit 61 takes in the request through “0”. The request reception control unit 61 translates the specific telephone number, and determines whether provision of service information related to the version upgrade transmission sequence is permitted. That is, it is determined whether the user can provide the service information ((5) in FIG. 7).

In the case of a specific telephone number for which provision of service information is permitted in this determination, under the control of the request reception control unit 61, the extension memory 51 of the portable telephone 11 shown in FIG.
The terminal-specific data section 271 and the extension data section 272 (or the extension data section 2 of the extension memory 52 shown in FIG.

The user of the mobile phone 11 listens to the voice guidance S6, and selects a desired new control program and service data by operating the operation unit 49 based on the instruction.
This service number S7 is transmitted to the wireless base station 12 ((9) in FIG. 7). This service number S7 is transmitted to the server 14 through the radio base station 12 and the mobile communication control station 13. In the server 14, the request reception control unit 61 determines the service number S7 ((10) in FIG. 7), reads the control program and the service data in the service information corresponding to the service number S7 from the service data storage unit 62, This download information S8 is transmitted to the mobile phone 11 through the mobile communication control station 13 and the wireless base station 12.

The portable telephone 11 writes the new service information provided from the server 14 into the extension memory 51 under the control of the control unit 47 ((11) in FIG. 7). When installation of service information in the additional memory 52 is set in advance, the additional memory 52 stores a new control program and service data provided from the server 14.

The mobile phone 11 into which the control program and the service data, which are the new service information, are taken.
Sends the download end notification S9 to the server 14 via the wireless base station 12 and the mobile communication control station 13, and ends the execution of the version-up transmission sequence ((12) in FIG. 7). Then, the mobile phone 11 is operated by the operation unit 4.
9 is operated to perform a call termination process (on-hook) ((13) in FIG. 7). The mobile communication control station 13 which has received the call termination signal S10 through the radio base station 12 detects the call termination and restores the communication path ((14) in FIG. 7).

Thereafter, the mobile phone 11 executes a telephone call by a new service function based on the fetched new service information (control program and service data) and an operation on the operation unit 49. For example, by taking in character (Katakana / numerical) data as new service data, short messages can be written in Katakana / Panalog in the same manner as in the radio reception selective calling device (pager / pager).
It can be displayed with numbers. Similarly, by taking in kanji / numeric dictionary data as new service data, a short message can be displayed in kanji / numeric characters in the same manner as the wireless reception selective calling device.

Furthermore, by taking in character (Katakana / Kanji / Numeric) data as a new control program and service data, voice communication such as telephone guidance and ticket reservation can be displayed on the display unit 48 in characters. . In addition, the user can select the extension ring tone data stored in the extension data section 272 of the extension memory 51 or the extension data section 281 of the extension memory 52 to change the ring tone of the mobile phone 11. Further, information can be transferred from the mobile phone 11 to the server 14 through the wireless base station 12 and the mobile communication control station 13 and stored, and stored information can be retrieved from another mobile phone or a wired telephone. Become.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 11 has been described as a mobile terminal. However, a pen-operated data communication device that performs data communication through a mobile telephone network operates similarly. Also, the configuration of the radio base station 12, the mobile communication control station 13, and the server 14 in the digital cellular mobile telephone system and the simple portable telephone system (PHS) has been described, but the present invention can be applied to other telephone systems. For example, the present invention can be applied to a digital cordless telephone as it is. In this case, the child device has the same configuration as the mobile phone 11, and the parent device has the same configuration as the wireless base station 12, the mobile communication control station 13, and the server 14.
