The present invention relates to a broadcast message transmission method of a mobile communication terminal, in particular, when transmitting the same message to a plurality of users at the same time, if the phone number and contents of the other user is separated and transmitted to the base station as a separate message, The present invention relates to a broadcast message transmission method of a mobile communication terminal for reducing the time and load required for transmitting a broadcast message by transmitting a combination of a telephone number and a content in a base station.

In general, a short message (SMS) service is a service that transmits a short message of 80 bytes to a counterpart user. In principle, a single message may be added to one phone number and transmitted. Broadcasting function is supported by.

This broadcast transmission function is available when the contents of the message are the same and only the phone number of the other user is different. The message is stored in the terminal itself. It is a function to do it.

The broadcast transmission function can transmit up to 20 people at the same time, but in reality, since the terminal transmits the same text message 20 times in a row with only the other party's telephone number being different, the more traffic is transmitted, the more traffic is generated and the more time is spent. There is a problem.

In other words, when broadcasting a message to a large number of users, it is not desirable in view of the efficient use of the network and the transmission speed in that the number of users to be broadcasted by filling with the same message contents despite the transmission number is different. If you do not, when transmitting to the maximum number of broadcasts (20 people), it takes about 1 minute and 50 seconds, there is a problem inconvenient to use.

Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, when transmitting the same message to a plurality of users at the same time, separate the phone number and the contents of the other user to the base station as a separate message When transmitting, the base station transmits a combination of the phone number and the content to transmit the broadcast message, the purpose of providing a broadcast message transmission method of the mobile communication terminal to reduce the time and load required for transmitting the broadcast message in the terminal have.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of determining whether or not the broadcast message transmission by the user's phone number entered for the message transmission; If it is determined that the broadcast message is to be transmitted, generating a separate message by dividing the counterpart phone number and the message content; Each of the generated messages is divided into one group and displayed to indicate that they are a broadcast message group.

The present invention also provides a message server of a base station for transmitting a broadcast message in order to achieve the above object, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a message and determining whether it is a broadcast transmission message; When the received message is a broadcast transmission message, comprising a plurality of messages and distinguishing whether each message is a telephone number information message or a data information message; Separating telephone numbers from the divided telephone number information message and separating message contents from the data information message; And generating a new message by combining each of the separated phone numbers and contents, and sequentially transmitting them to each other.

In the present invention, when the message broadcast is transmitted, instead of the message transmission method, which is conventionally transmitted to one phone number in the terminal itself, when the message is transmitted to the base station by dividing the contents of the message and the phone number of the counterpart user, the base station transmits the phone number and the contents. By providing a broadcast in combination, the present invention provides a method for reducing traffic and message transmission time by about 70% compared with the conventional method.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

1 is an exemplary view showing a data format for a broadcast message transmission according to the present invention, the size of which is 80 bytes as in the prior art, the configuration of the field is different.

Referring to FIG. 1, the 'MSG_NO' field is a 1-byte information field indicating how many broadcast transmission messages are made according to the present invention, and four relative telephone numbers (MIN: Mobile Identification Number) per 80-byte message. For example, when 20 broadcast messages are transmitted, 5 messages including 4 phone numbers and 1 message including message contents must be transmitted to the base station. The message group consists of a total of six messages, and 6 is recorded and transmitted in the 'MSG_NO' field.

Next, the 'MSG_SEQ' field is a 1-byte information field indicating the order of the current message among the message groups for broadcast transmission. For example, when transmitting 6 messages to a message group for broadcast transmission, each message In the 'MSG_SEQ' field, numbers 1 through 6 are sequentially recorded according to the transmission order of.

At this time, the upper 1 bit in the 'MSG_SEQ' field is used to distinguish whether the message is a MIN message or a data message.

Next, the 'MIN_NO' field is a 1-byte information field for indicating the total number of MINs to be transmitted and the number of MINs to be transmitted in the current message. The upper 3 bits indicate the number of MINs to be transmitted this time and the lower 5 bits indicate the total number of MINs to be transmitted. Used to distinguish. For example, the number of MINs to be transmitted can be indicated among the total number of 20 MINs to be transmitted.

Next, the 'MIN' field is an information field for storing a phone number of a user to which a message is to be transmitted. The 'MIN' field uses 16 bytes of fixed length and can transmit up to four messages per message.

In order to transmit a broadcast message according to the present invention, a terminal includes a plurality of messages each including a predetermined number of counterpart telephone numbers (MINs) consisting of the above fields, and one message including message contents (DATA) as a group. Set and send to the base station. In this case, in order to apply the broadcast message service according to the present invention, a TI (Teleservice ID) distinguishable from the existing short message service is used or a separate server for message transmission is provided.

That is, the message server (not shown) of the base station determines whether the message is a conventional short message or a broadcast message composed of a predetermined message group according to the present invention by the TI, and in the case of the broadcast message, 'MSG_NO' Determine how many messages are composed by field, receive messages sequentially by 'MSG_SEQ' field, separate user telephone number (MIN) included in each message, and message contents (DATA) in the last received message. ) And sends the message from each party by combining the separated user's phone number with the data (DATA) separated from the final message. At this time, the transmission order of each message may be different.

Therefore, if a total of 20 messages are broadcasted, the terminal transmits 20 messages when using the conventional method. However, in the present invention, 5 messages including a telephone number and 1 message including contents are transmitted. You only have to send six messages.

Hereinafter, the broadcast transmission process will be described in more detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a message broadcast transmission process in a terminal according to the present invention, in which message contents and counterpart phone numbers are input from a user in the same manner as in the prior art. However, when two or more counterpart phone numbers for transmitting a message are input (S101), the terminal determines that the message is broadcast (S102), and a plurality of MIN messages including a predetermined number of counterpart phone numbers (MIN) and a message. The data is divided into one DATA message including the data (S103), and the broadcast message is indicated by the TI and transmitted to the base station (S104).

3 is a flowchart illustrating a message broadcast transmission process in a message server of a base station according to the present invention. When a message is received in a message server of a base station (S201), the message server broadcasts whether the received message is an existing short message. If it is a message (S202), in the case of a broadcast transmission message, first determine how many messages are composed (S203), and receive each message sequentially to determine whether the corresponding message is a MIN message composed of the other party's phone number and the message contents. It determines whether it is a DATA message, separates the telephone number from the MIN message (S204), and separates the contents of the message from the DATA message (S205).

Next, a new message is generated by combining the message contents DATA with each of the separated telephone numbers MIN (S206), and the generated messages are sequentially transmitted to the respective counterparts (S207).

As described above, the broadcast message transmission method of the present invention mobile communication terminal, when transmitting the same message to multiple users at the same time, separate the phone number and the contents of the other user to transmit to a base station as a separate message In addition, by transmitting the broadcast by combining the phone number and the content in the base station, it is possible to reduce the time and load required for the transmission of the broadcast message in the terminal and to save the power of the battery.
