The present invention relates to a wireless mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for automatically executing an application program of a wireless mobile communication terminal using a WAP.

In order to provide Internet service in today's mobile communication network that provides various contents, Unwired Planet (formerly Phone.com) developed Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP) and Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML). The company developed TTML (Tagged Text Mark-up Language). Ericsson also developed the Intelligent Terminal Transfer Protocol (ITTP). The continuous technology development of these companies contributed greatly to the development of mobile communication, but due to their own technology development, there was a problem of incompatibility.

In June 1997, four companies, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Unwired Planet, decided to establish a common standard and formed the WAP Forum. As of June 1999, more than 100 companies worldwide participate.

The purpose of WAP is to make Internet services available to digital cellular phones (PCS, etc.) and wireless terminals, and to develop wireless protocol specifications that can be used in other types of wireless network technologies. It is about developing content and application technologies that can be used. In a typical WAP model, a WAP gateway called a WAP proxy is placed between a client and an Internet server. The main role of the WAP gateway is to convert between the WAP protocol and the Internet TCP / IP protocol. That is, Internet service requests of all mobile terminals pass through the WAP gateway, and the WAP gateway requests the service again according to the WAP protocol through the existing Internet wired network. Subsequently, the WAP gateway receives the response from the Internet server and transmits the WAP protocol to the mobile terminal that originally requested the service.

However, in such a WAP model, when a predetermined application program is downloaded from the server, the user has to determine this and execute the corresponding program in the terminal. That is, in the conventional mobile communication terminal using the WAP, in order to check the contents of the downloaded data, not only the user has to recognize the various data types and application programs directly, but also there is an inconvenience of having to manually run the program.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and analyzes the header of the data downloaded from the server using WAP to pre-recognize the matching download program, and the application program downloaded when the program exists It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for automatically executing an application program of a wireless mobile communication terminal using a WAP that automatically executes data to improve execution speed and user satisfaction.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for automatically executing an application program of a wireless mobile communication terminal using WAP capable of downloading application data provided from a server. A first step of determining whether a download of application data is requested; A second step of performing a download process and searching for a program type by analyzing a header of the downloaded application file when a download of predetermined application data is requested as a result of the determination of the first step; Determining whether an application program exists in the terminal according to a program type search result; As a result of the determination of the third step, if there is an executable application program in the terminal, a fourth step of automatically executing the corresponding application program is provided. do.

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

1 is a schematic structural block diagram of a WAP system for connecting with a wireless mobile communication terminal for performing a method according to the present invention, which includes a video on demand (VOD) server 100, an internet network 102, and a WAP gateway 104. , Base station 106 and client terminal 108.

First, the client terminal 108 is a wireless mobile terminal (e.g., cellular phone, personal mobile communication (PCS), PDA) capable of connecting to the Internet 102 via mobile communication control means, i.e., the base station 106 described later. , IMT-2000, etc.). In particular, since the WAP browser 109 and the application program processing unit 110 are embedded in the client terminal 108, a predetermined program can be downloaded from an arbitrary server, and the downloaded program can be executed. In addition, the client terminal 108 analyzes the file header of the application program downloaded through the Internet network 102 to determine the program type of the file and to automatically drive it.

In the present embodiment, only one client terminal 108 is shown for convenience of description, but a plurality of client terminals 108 may be provided as necessary. Such facts will be easily understood by those skilled in the art.

On the other hand, the base station 106 is responsible for the communication service between the mobile client terminal 108 and the WAP gateway 104 in its service area, and each mobile client (in the service area of each base station in charge thereof). 108 provides various communication services performed between the mobile stations, manages the local registration status of the mobile clients 108 entering the service area of each base station in charge thereof, and also manages the Internet 102 through the WAP gateway 104. ) Provides each mobile client 108 with various application programs provided in accordance with the present invention.

Since the WAP gateway 104 is the same as described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the VOD server 100 is connected to the mobile client terminal 108 so as to download a predetermined application program including a video file or the like through the WAP browser 109 or the like. In the present embodiment, but limited to the VOD server 100 to take an application such as a video file as an example, it is not necessarily limited to this, a server providing another service may be adopted.                     

Hereinafter, the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 2 attached to a process of automatically executing an application program of a wireless mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Prior to the description, the process analyzes the header of the data downloaded from the VOD server 100 by using the WAP to recognize the matching download program in advance, and automatically executes the downloaded application data when the corresponding program exists. It is characterized by that.

First, when the Internet connection of the wireless mobile communication terminal 108 is completed in step S100, the process proceeds to step S102 to determine whether a download of a predetermined application program by the user is requested.

As a result of the determination in step S102, if a download of a predetermined application is requested, the terminal 108 proceeds to step S104 to perform a data download process, and proceeds to step S106 of the downloaded application file. Parse the header. This header analysis process can be easily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the terminal 108 proceeds to step S108 to determine the program type according to the header analysis result performed in step S106, and proceeds to step S110, the application program according to the program type search result is determined by the terminal ( 108) to determine if it is present.

As a result of the determination in step S110, if there is an application program corresponding to the downloaded file in the terminal 108, that is, if there is an executable application program, the terminal 108 proceeds to step S112 and the application program. Is executed automatically and the process of FIG.

That is, the present invention implements a wireless mobile communication terminal that automatically determines a type of data downloaded from a server and automatically executes a corresponding program.

Therefore, the present invention has the effect of improving user satisfaction by increasing the execution speed of the application program of the wireless mobile communication terminal.
