Here, the CBS scheme refers to a service that simultaneously transmits data to all mobile communication terminals in a cell area within which a service of a mobile station is available, and transmits one message on a base station basis so that all subscribers in the base station have the same contents. You can send messages at the same time.

In the service system using the CBS method and the platform application, the server 101 manages past event related records and all subscriber information. That is, it manages the event-related records of the company, the addresses and contacts of all subscribers, the member number assigned to the subscriber, the date and address of receiving the gift, etc.

When the server 101 requests the CBC to transmit a message in order to send a CBS message to subscribers stored in its database, the CBC forms a message in connection with the mobile switching network and sends the message. The exchange 104 receiving this transmits this message to the base station 105, and the base station 105 transmits the message to all subscribers in the radius that it covers. The user of the mobile communication terminal 106 receiving the message checks the corresponding message, selects whether to participate in the event, and downloads the platform application from the information system 103 to participate in the mobile communication terminal 106a, 106b, 106c, 106d.
