The present invention relates to a mobile communication system equipped with an automatic packet download function and a control method thereof. In particular, the terminal continuously checks whether a terminal is located in an area of a UMA service network and automatically connects to a preset Internet address when the terminal is located in the area. The present invention relates to a mobile communication system having an automatic packet download function for downloading and a control method thereof.

In general, a mobile communication terminal uses a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) method and a CDMA method. First, the GSM service was established by the European Telecommunication Standards Association (ETSI) as a pan-European standard in 1989. It uses narrowband time division multiple access (TDMA) to group 17 European countries into a single currency. In addition, since the GSM service is connected to an ISDN, a mobile data service can be directly connected to a telephone terminal, a facsimile, a laptop computer, a teletext terminal, or the like without using a modem. 960MHz, the base station reception frequency is 890∼915MHz, so the transmission and reception frequency interval is 45MHz. Accordingly, the digital cellular system standardized by the ETSI is called GSM, which stands for 'Global System for Mobile telecommunication'. On the other hand, the code division multiple access (CDMA) is a digital mobile communication method employing spread-band technology developed by Qualcomm of the United States, also referred to as code division multiple access or code division multiple access. Since CDMA transmits and receives signals while sharing time and frequency, the CDMA has more than 10 times the capacity and excellent call quality compared to the existing analog method (AMPS), and is one of the multiple access methods using spread-spectrum technology. It's kind. In this case, the spread spectrum communication is a method of spreading and spreading a signal with a bandwidth much wider than a bandwidth of a signal to be transmitted.

However, referring to the conventional GSM / GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) system described above with reference to FIG. 1, a GSM / GPRS terminal 70 for transmitting / receiving a radio signal in a GSM / GPRS method and the GSM / GPRS terminal ( A base station 71 for wirelessly processing a function signal, for example, a call signal or an SMS message, transmitted from 70), and an MSC 72 for controlling a transmission function of a call signal or SMS message input via the base station 71; ). Here, the terminal 70 may provide a UMA (Unlicensed mobile access) service having a high transmission speed.

Meanwhile, referring to the operation of the conventional GSM / GPRS terminal as described above, when the user of the terminal 70 opens the folder 73 and presses the telephone number signal through the keypad 74, the telephone number signal is displayed on the LCD panel. At the same time as displayed on (75), the radio signal is processed by the terminal 70 and transmitted to the base station (71). The base station 71 transmits the call signal of the input terminal 70 to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 analyzes the input call signal data to recognize the destination telephone number and transmits the call signal to the base station (not shown) of the corresponding destination. Therefore, the destination base station relays the transmitted call signal and connects the call to the counterpart terminal 76. At this time, when the call is formed by the above process, the terminal 70 executes a normal call with the counterpart terminal 76.

Here, if the user of the terminal 70 sets the UMA packet service function through the keypad 74 during the above process, the terminal 70 checks whether it is currently located in the UMA service network and then notifies the packet service if it is located in the corresponding area. The menu screen is displayed on the LCD panel (75). At this time, when the user of the terminal 70 has a desired item in the book mark, for example, the user of the terminal 70 selects the corresponding Internet address item on the packet service menu screen displayed on the LCD panel 75 through the keypad 74. Press it. Then, the terminal 70 transmits the selected packet service request information to the base station 71, and accordingly the base station 71 transmits the corresponding packet service request information to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 receives the information desired by the terminal user from the Internet server 77 according to the input packet service request information, and transmits the information to the terminal 70 through the base station 71 in the form of a packet. Accordingly, the terminal 70 receives the information selected by the terminal in the form of a packet and displays the information on the LCD panel 75.

In this case, when the terminal 70 receives a packet service from another mobile communication network, for example, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), and then moves to WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access), the terminal user uses the current terminal 70 through his terminal 70. After checking the network type, change the setting value of the network, for example, the WCDMA setting value, and set the PS (packet switching) again to restart the wireless Internet.

However, in the conventional GSM / GPRS terminal as described above, when the user enters the GSM / GPRS service area, the terminal user directly checks the UMA service and then moves to the set BOOK MARK to receive the data download service through the packet service. If there are not many UMA service areas, the terminal user has to operate the key every time to check whether the UMA service is performed. Therefore, the usability of the terminal is considerably degraded, and the GSM / GPRS terminal starts the packet service once. Whether the channel is used or not is continuously assigned, there is a problem that the packet rate increases considerably.

Therefore, the present invention was invented to solve the above problems, and by continuously checking whether the terminal is located in the UMA service network area, when the terminal is located in the area, by automatically accessing a predetermined Internet address to download data, Since the terminal does not need to operate the terminal repeatedly in order to use the UMA service network and data download, the present invention provides a mobile communication system equipped with an automatic packet download function that greatly improves the convenience of using the terminal, and a control method thereof. There is this.

In addition, another object of the present invention is that the packet data is transmitted and received through the UMA service network, when not using the packet service is assigned to the service call to other users, the automatic packet download to significantly reduce the use fee of the packet service accordingly The present invention provides a mobile communication system with a function and a control method thereof.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a radio module unit for transmitting and receiving the UMA service signal to and from the UMA base station system unit in a mobile communication terminal capable of UMA service, including GSM / GPRS, when the UMA service is executed The memory unit stores the Internet address and the download information previously set in the BOOK MARK function by the terminal user to be automatically connected and downloaded, and checks whether the mobile communication terminal is located in the UMA service area and checks the BOOK MARK function in the memory unit. The present invention provides a mobile communication system having an automatic packet download function including a main control unit that controls a function of calling a preset Internet address, accessing a corresponding site, and downloading and storing a UMA packet signal.

Another feature of the present invention is a UMA search registration step of registering a UMA service network when the mobile terminal transmits a UMAN search message for searching for a UMA network to the outside, and the user of the terminal after the UMA search registration step. Data checking step to confirm whether the user has previously registered the packet data that the user wants to download, and as a result of checking during the download data checking step, the currently searched UMA when the terminal user has previously registered the packet data to be downloaded. A network connection step of transmitting a connection request message for receiving actual packet service to the base station system unit and receiving an IP signal according to the response and executing the UMA service enabled state, and after the network connection step S4, the terminal user previously Search for the Internet site address you specified for download Internet access step for accessing the searched Internet address, automatic downloading step for automatically downloading and storing packet data from the currently connected Internet site after the Internet access step by UMA method, and packet download function after the automatic downloading step Provided is a control method of a mobile communication system having an automatic packet download function consisting of a download procedure termination step of terminating an automatic download function by transmitting a termination message to the UMA base station system unit and then deactivating a session procedure.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention is installed on a part of the body of the mobile communication terminal 1 as shown in Figure 2, and displays a variety of information signals therein and the display (2) for displaying the UMA service, including GSM / GPRS to the outside, and A UMA service signal including a GSM / GPRS service, for example, a UMA network search procedure and a radio module unit 4 for transmitting / receiving and processing UMA packet data with a GSM / GPRS or UMA base station system unit 3, and executing the UMA service. A memory unit 5 for storing the Internet address and the corresponding download information, which are set in advance by the terminal user in the BOOK MARK function so as to be automatically connected and downloaded, and storing various information processed by the mobile communication terminal 1, and the mobile communication terminal. The type of network in the area where (1) is located, for example, checks whether the UMA service area is located and retrieves the Internet address preset in the BOOK MARK function of the memory unit (5) to access the site. Next, the main control unit 6 which controls the overall function of the mobile communication terminal 1, including the function of downloading and storing the user-specified information as a UMA packet signal, and the call connection control signal of the main control unit 6; Accordingly, a codec unit 8 converts an analog voice signal input through the handset 7 into a packet digital signal of a corresponding communication network, for example, a UMA service network, or converts and outputs a digital voice signal into an analog signal.

One end of the main control unit 6 is connected to a key panel unit 9 for inputting a function setting signal of the user to the main control unit 6.

Next, a control method applied to the above apparatus will be described.

The method of the present invention proceeds to the UMA search registration step (S2) in the initial state (S1) as shown in Figure 3 by sending a UMAN (UMA network) discovery message to find the UMA network to the outside to the UMA service network If found, register with the UMA service network. Then, after the UMA search registration step (S2) proceeds to the download data check step (S3) to check whether the terminal user has previously registered the packet data that you want to download. At this time, if the terminal user has not registered the packet data that the user wants to download before as a result of checking in the download data checking step (S3), the current step ends and proceeds to the standby state. However, if the terminal user has previously registered the packet data desired to be downloaded as a result of checking during the download data checking step (S3), proceed to the network connection step (S4) to provide the actual packet service to the currently detected UMA base station system unit. It sends a connection request message to receive and receives an IP signal according to the response and executes the UMA service available state.

On the other hand, after the network connection step (S4) proceeds to the Internet connection step (S5) to search the Internet site address previously designated by the terminal user for download and access to the searched Internet address.

Here, in the Internet access step (S5) by setting a bookmark (Auto Download Flag) to automatically download the packet data without the input of the terminal user by executing a bookmark (Automark) automatically when the packet data download request The method may further include using a bookmark to process the download.

In addition, after the Internet access step (S5) proceeds to the automatic downloading step (S6) to automatically download the packet data in the UMA method from the currently connected Internet site to save. Then, after the automatic downloading step (S6) proceeds to the download procedure end step (S7), if the packet download function is terminated, and transmits the termination message to the UMA base station system unit, the session procedure is deactivated to terminate the automatic download function.

Here, after the download procedure end step (S7), if the current service is terminated further comprises a UMA packet waiting step to proceed to the standby state to receive another UMA packet service.

In other words, the main controller 6 of the present invention terminal 1 transmits a UMAN (UMA network) discovery message to find a UMA network while executing a voice or wireless packet service in a GSM / GPRS scheme. Send out through. At this time, if the terminal 1 stays in an area where UMA service is available, the UMA base station system unit 3 managing the area receives the UMAN discovery message and then responds to the response message (discovery accept or reject). Transmit to terminal 1.

Accordingly, when the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 receives the response signal from the UMA base station system unit 3 as described above, the main control unit 2 switches to the UMAN mode from the current GSM / GPRS mode and the corresponding UMA base station system unit 3 The registration request is made according to a predetermined mobility management procedure. Then, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 completes the registration procedure when receiving a registration approval message from the corresponding UMA base station system unit 3.

At this time, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 searches the memory unit 5 to check whether there is packet data that the terminal user wants to download before. The main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 receives the actual packet service through the wireless module unit 4 when the user of the terminal has previously registered packet data to be downloaded. Attach request message (Attach Request) for transmitting to the base station system unit (3). At this time, when the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 receives an Accept message for the access request message from the UMA base station system unit 3, the main service unit 2 is in a state capable of receiving a package service in UMAN. The main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 receives an UNC IP address and a UNC UDP port number for packet data download from the UMA base station system unit 3. In addition, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 searches for the BOOK MARK of the memory unit 5 to find the Internet address previously designated by the terminal user for data download, and then passes through the base station system unit 3. The internet server 11 is connected. In this case, when the bookmark is executed, an auto download flag is set separately so that the packet data can be automatically downloaded without the input of the terminal user.

Then, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 requests a value to be used for download and necessary values from the connected Internet server 11, and requests the requested value from the base station system unit 3. Get assigned. In addition, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 stores the packet data in the memory unit 5 when the packet data is input from the currently connected Internet server 11 via the UMA base station system unit 3 and downloads it. If is terminated, the session procedure is deactivated, and then the service termination message (Service Detach) is sent to the base station system unit 3. Then, the main control unit 2 of the terminal 1 proceeds to the standby state that can receive another packet service when the current service is terminated as described above.

As described above, the present invention continuously checks whether the terminal is located in the UMA service network area, and when the terminal is located in the area, the terminal automatically downloads the data by accessing a preset Internet address, thereby allowing the terminal to download data from the UMA service network. There is no need to operate the terminal repeatedly to use it has the advantage of significantly improving the convenience of using the terminal accordingly.
