The message relay server 120 transmits the converted multimedia message to the mobile telephones 100a and 100b or the PCs 130a and 130b through the mobile telephone networks 110a and 110b or the Internet networks 140a and 140b. S36)

On the other hand, as a result of the S32 determination, when the caller ID is not the digital television (TV) of the home network, the message relay server 120 determines whether the caller ID is the mobile phones 100a and 100b or the PCs 130a and 130b. )

If the call ID is the mobile phone 100a or 100b or the PCs 130a and 130b, the message relay server 120 transmits the multimedia message to the mobile phone network 110a or 110b or the Internet network 140a or 140b. Through the mobile phone (100a, 100b) or PC (130a, 130b) to transmit through. (S40)

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying a wired / wireless message transmitted from a mobile phone / PC in a digital television (TV) of a home network in a system according to the present invention. 4 and 8, a method of displaying a wired / wireless message transmitted from a mobile phone / PC in a digital television (TV) of a home network according to the present invention is as follows.

The message transmission and reception apparatus 150 configured in the digital television (TV) of the home network receives a multimedia message from the Internet network through the message reception processing unit 155_3.

The message storage unit 155_9 stores information of the multimedia message received through the message reception processing unit 155_3 (for example, call ID, reception ID, message body, video information, sound information, etc.) (S52). The message storage unit 155_9 may be configured as a flash memory or a RAM.

The message reception event processing unit 155_5 transmits the message reception information provided by the message reception processing unit 155_3 as an event generation to the screen output unit 153 of the digital television (S54). 153 displays whether the received multimedia message is received.

The CPU (not shown) of the digital television determines whether a message confirmation key is input from the user interface 151. When the message confirmation key signal is input, the multimedia message body stored in the message storage unit 155_9 is displayed. It outputs to the output part 153. (S56-S58)

However, as a result of the determination in S56, when the message confirmation key signal is not input, the CPU (not shown) of the digital television waits until the message confirmation key is input from the user interface 151 (S60).

Although not shown in the drawing, referring to FIG. 4, the present invention provides a message transmission processing unit when a multimedia message inputted from a user interface 151 and a confirmation key thereof are input from a CPU (not shown) of a digital television. In 155_7, the multimedia message input through the Internet network access processor 155_1 is transmitted to the Internet network. In this case, when the message storage key is input from the user interface 151, the input multimedia message may be stored in the message storage unit 155_9.

As described above, the present invention can apply the multimedia message service to the home network environment, so that the multimedia message can be easily transmitted and received to the mobile phone or the PC of wired / wireless communication through the digital television (TV) in the home network. For example, if a user watches a broadcast on a digital television (TV) capable of multimedia message service and then delivers a multimedia message from a mobile phone or a PC, the message can be easily viewed on a television screen. You can write a message and reply to the mobile phone or PC.

Therefore, the present invention can provide a better message service to the user.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, various modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims to be described later.
