More particularly, the present invention relates to information (voice and / or information) mapped to a word of a text message transmitted by a transmitting terminal. Extracts a video, etc.) and adds it to a text message (text + voice and / or video) and transmits the same to a receiving terminal.

In particular, the present invention extracts a keyword from a text message transmitted by the transmitting terminal through a natural language processing process, searches for information (voice and / or video, etc.) suitable for the extracted keyword, and then adds it to the text message (text + Voice and / or video) relates to a multimedia messaging service for transmission to a receiving terminal.

A commonly used portable mobile communication terminal includes a user information input unit for inputting user information and a display device for displaying the input information and schedule information in a visible state. Examples of such information processing devices include digital portable telephones (cellular phones), personal digital assistants (PCS phones), personal digital terminals (PDAs), smart phones, next-generation mobile communication terminals (IMT-2000), and wireless LAN terminals. . Such portable mobile communication terminals perform processing of general user information and performing various functions according to a user's request. A method commonly used in the method of performing such functions is to perform an operation of a corresponding function according to a menu selection input or a shortcut key. There is a way to make it happen. This is done by assigning a menu corresponding to a specified function and then displaying a specified menu according to a predetermined request input so that when a user selects the menu, a predetermined function according to the selected menu is performed. It is made through a process to perform a predetermined function according to the menu. In addition, recently, if a function is required to be performed by the user by iconizing each menu, the corresponding icon selection is made accordingly, and the function is performed by selecting the icon accordingly. The proposed method is to further increase the convenience of.

In order to solve the problem of having to check and send various menus manually, the multimedia service user receives a sentence to be transmitted and receives an automatic search engine connected to the wireless Internet (WAP) or the Internet (WEB). After extracting a keyword from the sentence through natural language processing, information suitable for the keyword is extracted from the database. Extract the text and the extracted information at the same time.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 1, when a text message is transmitted using the wireless Internet or the transmitting terminals 11 and 12 connected to the Internet, the text providing server 13 receives the text message. And, by processing the text message of the sender received, automatic search, keyword extraction, the meaning of the text to extract information suitable for the core keywords of the text message from the information database 14, the receiver (15) through the wireless Internet to the sender ( Character and information of 11, 12) are transmitted simultaneously.

In detail, when the message senders 11 and 12 transmit a text message "Happy Birthday" to the message receiver 15, the message sender 11 and 12 receives the text message from the message providing server 13 and sends the text message to the information search engine. Then, the information retrieval engine extracts the keyword by processing the text message "Happy birthday" in natural language. Here, when the text message "Happy Birthday" is extracted by natural language processing, the words "Happy Birthday" and "Celebration" are searched. Then, the words "birthday" and "congratulations" are searched for a sound source or a picture corresponding to "birthday" and "celebration" stored in the information database 14. Then, the searched sound source or picture corresponding to "birthday" and "celebration" is selected, and simultaneously transmits the selected sound source or picture to the receiving terminal 15 of the message receiver together with the text message. Thereafter, the receiver accesses the wireless Internet through his terminal 15 and checks the text reception and information.

However, the prior art does not specifically disclose a message transmission process in the transmitting terminals 11 and 12, an interworking method of a natural language search engine and related devices, and a method in which a receiver simultaneously receives texts and multimedia data and listens to it. .

In particular, according to the prior art, all text messages sent by a user (sender) who desires simultaneous transmission of text and information (such as voice and / or video) (hereinafter referred to as a 'multimedia messaging service') are provided by a message providing server. Occupying (13) requires not only excessive facility investment by the operator, but also all text messages in the form of multimedia messaging services (text + voice and / or video) even when texting by users (senders) who do not want multimedia messaging services. ), There was an uncomfortable problem provided to the receiver. In addition, the message receiver needs to access the wireless Internet to check text reception and information when receiving a multimedia message (text + voice and / or video).

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, in consideration of the cost of investment of the multimedia messaging service device of the operator and the transmission of unnecessary text messages, the information mapped to the words of the text messages transmitted by the transmitting terminal (voice) And / or video, etc.), and then adding it to a text message (text + voice and / or video) and transmitting it to a receiving terminal, and a computer readable recording recording a program for realizing the method.

In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the known technology related to the present invention may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a multimedia messaging system to which the present invention is applied. In addition to the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile communication network, the Internet (WEB), the wireless Internet (WAP), and the public telephone network (PSTN) are illustrated in FIG. ) Shows the interlocking environment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the multimedia messaging system to which the present invention is applied is for a multimedia messaging service based on an information communication network, and provides information (voice and / or video, etc.) suitable for a text message transmitted by the transmitting terminal 21. In addition to the text message (text + voice and / or video) is provided to the receiving terminal 30. In this case, the communication service provider may supply a multimedia messaging service server (VAS) 27 according to the amount of communication using the multimedia messaging service.

Here, information communication networks such as mobile communication networks, wired / wireless Internet (WEB, WAP), public telephone networks (PSTN), etc. connect communication lines between the transmitting and receiving terminals 21 and 30 and the multimedia messaging service server 27 to transmit and receive terminals 21, 30) Set up the connection to send and receive multimedia messages (text + sound source and / or picture). At this time, the transmitting terminal 21 is sufficient if the transmission of the text message, the receiving terminal 30 is sufficient if the connection via the link URL of the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture).

The present invention can be applied not only to a CDMA mobile communication system but also to a short message service (SMS) as well as an EMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). However, it is obvious that the present invention can be applied without being limited to the type of network and the type of terminal. Accordingly, the transmission and reception terminals 21 and 30 below are mobile communication terminals such as cellular phones or PCS phones capable of transmitting and receiving messages such as SMS, MMS and EMS, International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) -2000, and Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS). Next-generation mobile communication terminals, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), WAP (WAP) terminals, laptops, etc., general wired and wireless phones capable of SMS, Web (WEB) terminals capable of SMS, EMS, MMS It should be interpreted as a concept that includes. Therefore, as far as possible, transmission and reception of messages between the transmission and reception terminals 21 and 30 will be made clear.

In general, a mobile communication network includes a base station transceiver subsystem (BTS) 22, a base station controller (BSC) 23, a mobile switching center (MSC) 24, and a visitor location register (VLR). Visitor Location Register (24), Home Location Register (HLR) (25) and the like. For reference, the function of each component of the mobile communication network will be described.

The transmitting terminals (mobile communication terminals) 21-1 and 30 are within the range of any base station (BTS) 22, and the information of the mobile communication terminal (MS) 21-1 controls the base station 22 and the same. Is transmitted to an exchange (MSC) 24 via a base station controller (BSC) 23, and the information transmitted from the exchange 24 moves through a base station controller (BSC) 23 and a base station (BTS) 22. Is transmitted to the communication terminal (MS) 21-1.

The mobile communication terminal (MS) 21-1 is a terminal that a user can carry and communicate with while moving. The mobile communication terminal (MS) 21-1 uses a forward channel when receiving text and a reverse channel when calling. do. In this case, all text information uses, for example, SMS, and when received, a Mobile Terminated (MT) SMS is used, and a Mobile Originated (MO) SMS is used.

In general, a mobile communication system uses a data burst message of a paging channel of a CDMA mobile communication system when received, and if the user is busy, a corresponding text message is a data burst message of a forward traffic channel. Send a message. In addition, a text burst message of an access channel is used to transmit a text message, and a data burst message of a reverse traffic channel is transmitted when a text message is in use.

The text message transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 21-1 is connected to the switch 24 through the base station 22 and the base station controller 23 for high frequency signal processing and call processing.

The base station (BTS) 22 connects the mobile communication terminal 21-1 to the base station controller 23, and includes a digital channel unit (DCU) and a time / frequency control unit (TCU). ), A Radio Frequency Unit (RFU), and a Global Positioning System (GPS).

The base station 22 performs a wired / wireless conversion function of communicating with the mobile communication terminal 21-1 over the air and communicating with the base station controller 23 by wire.

The base station controller (BSC) 23 connects the base station 22 to the switch 247 to coordinate the connection between the base stations 22 and serves as a signal processing function for communication between the base station 22 and the switch 24.

The exchange (MSC) 24 has a visitor location register (VLR) and processes mobile communication subscriber calls in conjunction with a home location register 25 and an SMS center (SMSC) 26.

In addition, the exchange 24 is connected to the base station controller 23 to perform a call setup and release function of the mobile communication terminal 21-1, and performs various functions related to call processing and additional service.

The visitor location register 24 is a database that temporarily stores subscriber information related to the mobile communication terminal 21-1 while the mobile communication terminal 21-1 is in an area controlled by the visitor location register VLR. The information of the mobile communication terminal 21-1 and the subscriber whose location is registered in the area in charge is taken from the home location register 25, temporarily stored, and mounted on the switch MSC.

The home location register (HLR) 25 is a database that is connected to the exchange 24 and the SMS center 26 to manage various information of mobile subscribers. It stores the permanent information and location information of the mobile terminal 21-1 and subscribers, and interacts with the visitor location register 24 to support various functions related to call processing and additional services.

An SMS center 26 is connected to the exchange 24 and the home location register 25 to play a key role in the SMS routing function, to set SMS parameters, and to set destination addresses of incoming messages. Address is interpreted and transmitted to the corresponding network element. In particular, a multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, a special symbol, a letter, a number, etc.) included in a part (last or first) of a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 is included in a called party number to receive a message. Recognizing that the multimedia messaging service is a multimedia messaging service through a multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, special symbols, letters, numbers, etc.), the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 is transmitted to the multimedia messaging service server 27.

Therefore, when the text message is created, the transmitting terminal 21 inserts a multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, a special symbol, a letter, a number, etc.) as part of the text message (last or first, etc.), or receives a message. By inserting a multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, a special symbol, a letter, a number, etc.) into the number and transmitting it using SMS, the SMS text message (SMSC) 26 transmits a plain text message through the multimedia messaging service identifier. Distinguish from messages. If the transmitting terminal 21 composes a text message through EMS, MMS, etc., and then inserts the multimedia messaging service identifier into the message or the called number and transmits it, an SMS center (message center) (SMSC) 26 is connected thereto. Perform the corresponding function. The Message Center (Gateway, for example, MMS Center) 29 also distinguishes text messages input through EMS, MMS, etc., in the same way as general text messages through a multimedia messaging service identifier. That is, it performs a function as an MMS center and transmits the message from the transmitting terminal 21 to the multimedia messaging service server 27 by distinguishing it from the general text message through the multimedia messaging service identifier.

For example, when creating a text message "Happy Birthday", the sending terminal 21 inserts a multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, **) at the end of the text message (Happy Birthday. * *), Insert the multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, **) into the destination number (for example, 011-9992-0731) to receive the message (01199920731 **) and send it using SMS. The SMSC 26 recognizes that the message is a multimedia messaging service-related message through the multimedia messaging service identifier **, and transmits a text message from the transmitting terminal 21 to the multimedia messaging service server 27.

The multimedia messaging service server 27 realizes a connection between the transmitting terminal 21 and the receiving terminal 30 on a mobile communication network, the Internet (WEB), the wireless Internet (WAP), and a public telephone network (PSTN). Text messages transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21-1 through the SMS center 26 or from the transmitting terminals 21-2 to 21-4 via message centers 29 of the Internet, wireless Internet, and public telephone networks. A link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 by adding a sound source and / or a picture or the like to the transmitted text message (creating a multimedia messaging page) (see FIG. 3A). This can be provided in two ways as shown in Figure 3a, and will be described in more detail the function of the multimedia messaging service server (27).

FIG. 3A illustrates a case in which the MMS center of the message center 29 is not interworked with the multimedia messaging service server 27. For reference, in FIG. 3A, the application server 32 and the swap server (web server) 33 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 may be configured as one module.

However, in FIG. 3B to be described later, the MMS center of the message center 29 is linked to the multimedia messaging service server 27, and the messaging according to whether the receiving terminal 30 supports the MMS is shown in FIG. 3A. It shows that the message verification procedure of the subject and the terminal 30 generating the page link URL is different. That is, in FIG. 3A, the subject of generating the messaging page URL is an application server of the multimedia messaging service server 27, but in FIG. 3B, the MMS center 29 performs the role. In addition, in FIG. 3B, the receiving terminal 30 may directly connect to the MMS center 29 as well as the swap server 33.

First, referring to FIG. 3A, a case in which the MMS center of the message center 29 is not linked to the multimedia messaging service server 27 will be described.

First, the multimedia messaging service server 27 searches for a word included in a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21, and contents one-to-one (or one-to-many) mapped information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) to the word. After extracting from the server 28, it is added to the text message and transmitted to the receiving terminal 30. To this end, information (such as sound and / or picture) is stored and registered in the content server 28, and information (such as sound and / or picture) is formed in a one-to-one mapping relationship for each word retrieved from the multimedia messaging service server 27. In principle, the sound source and the picture may be mapped to a single word. When the text message is input (301), when the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests a search for the message to the search engine 31 (302), the search engine 31 includes the text message. Search for the word, search the content server 28 for information (such as sound and / or picture) corresponding to the searched word (303), and inform the application server 32 of the content location (or number) (304). . Then, the application server 32 extracts the information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the searched word from the content server 28, matches the text message (creates a multimedia messaging page), and stores the location and the combination thereof in the database. (305) and store related information such as message + content or messaging page (305), and transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (30) through the swap server (web server) 33. (306).

In particular, the application server 32 stores the location and combination method in the database 34 after creating the multimedia messaging page (storing related information such as message + content or messaging page) 305, and creates a link URL of the multimedia messaging page. The SMS center 26 may request the SMS center 26 to transmit the SMS (307), and the SMS center 26 may transmit the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30 via SMS (308). .

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits the text message "I love you a lot.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 searches for the word "love" in the text message "I love you a lot." After extracting the sound source and / or the picture mapped to the "love" from the content server 28 and matching it to a text message to create a multimedia messaging page, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is replaced by a swap server (web server) 33 ) Or via the SMS center 26 to the receiving terminal 30. In this case, if a sound source and a picture are mapped to the word "love" at the same time, a multimedia messaging page is created by reflecting all of them in a text message.

Second, the multimedia messaging service server 27 automatically extracts a keyword from a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 through a natural language processing process, and provides information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) suitable for the extracted keyword to the content server. After the search in (28), it is added to the text message (text + sound source and / or picture) and transmitted to the receiving terminal 30. To this end, the search engine 31 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 extracts information (eg, sound, voice, music, picture, etc.) suitable for a keyword from the content server 28 through natural language processing. At this time, the information suitable for the keyword uses information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) stored and registered in the content server 28. Here, the search engine (automatic natural language search and keyword extraction system) 31 undergoes natural language processing in the input text message of the transmitting terminal 21 to obtain optimal information (for example, sound, voice, music, pictures, etc.). It is responsible for extracting). At this time, the natural language processing processes the extracted nouns and compound nouns in the input natural language query, and performs the expansion of the synonym for the keyword / main control in the query. Therefore, when the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 receives a text message (a sentence), that is, a sentence composed of natural language as a search word (301), the search engine 31 requests a message search (302). In addition, the search engine 31 automatically extracts and analyzes an index word (keyword) from a text message through a natural language processing process, and searches the content server 28 for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the extracted keyword. After 303, the content location (or number) is notified to the application server 32 (304), and the application server 32 transmits information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the extracted keyword to the content server 28. Extracts from and matches text messages (creates a multimedia messaging page), stores its location and combination (saves relevant information such as messages + content or messaging pages) (305), and swaps the link URL of the multimedia messaging page for it. Server (web server) and transmits it to the receiving terminal 30 through 33, 306. The

At this time, the application server 32 stores the location and combination method in the database 34 after creating the multimedia messaging page (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page storage) 305, and links URLs of the multimedia messaging page. After making a request to the SMS center (SMSC) 26 to send to the SMS (307), the SMS center (SMSC) 26 can transmit the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30 via SMS ( 308).

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "Happy Birthday.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 naturally processes the text message "Happy Birthday." After extracting the "congratulations", a sound source or a picture corresponding to "birthday" and "congratulations" registered and stored in the content server 28 with the words "birthday" and "congratulations" is searched. Then, after creating a multimedia messaging page by matching sound texts and / or pictures corresponding to "birthday" and "celebration" with a text message, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is replaced by a swap server (web server) 33 or an SMS center. Transmit to the receiving terminal 30 through 26.

The application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 is interlocked with the picture friend server and the ringtone server of the service provider content server 28 to extract words searched through the search engine 31 (not through natural language processing). Key words) or keywords (keywords extracted through natural language processing) to extract up-to-date information (such as sound sources and / or pictures), and multimedia messaging without interworking with the content server 28 itself. It may be provided in the service server 27 itself.

Meanwhile, the multimedia messaging service server 27 sends the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) to the receiving terminal 30 through the swap server (or may be a web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. When transmitting, there may be various methods. For example, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 so that the receiver can listen to the message by pressing the OK or access button, or in another example, a WAP push (WAP). By using a push or SMS service push (SMS Push) to send a message containing a communication identifier (Teleservice ID) associated with the connection to the receiving terminal 30, the receiving terminal 30 with a message notification automatically the swap server ( Or web server) 33 or application server 32 to automatically display the message (text message + sound source and / or picture, etc.) to the recipient based on the database 34 where the message is stored (309). 310. At this time, all functions of the swap server (or web server) 33 may be performed by the application server 32 (consisting of one module), and an interworking form thereof may be possible. Accordingly, the WAP Push or SMS Push support receiving terminal 30 shows the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) in real time with the incoming notification upon receiving the message (when receiving the message). Automatically connects to actual swap server (or web server) 33 or application server 32 to show multimedia messages), WAP Push or SMS Push unsupported receiving terminal 30 is notified of incoming call and OK or access button It is possible to check the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) through (receive the confirmation of the receiver when receiving the message to the swap server (or web server) 33 or the application server 32 to show the multimedia message) ).

As described above, there may be two ways in which the multimedia messaging service server 27 sends a message notification to the receiving terminal 30. The multimedia messaging service server 27 may be a swap server (or web server) 33. Although a message including a Teleservice ID related to access to the receiving terminal 30 can be directly transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 using a WAP Push, the SMS center (SMSC) 26 By using the SMS push (SMS Push) may be configured to send a message containing a communication identifier (Teleservice ID) associated with the connection to the receiving terminal (30). At this time, as described above, since the function of the swap server (web server) 33 can be performed in the application server 32, the multimedia messaging service server 27 receives the link URL of the multimedia messaging page directly from the receiving terminal 30 At the time of connection of the receiving terminal 30 for transmitting a message and confirming a message, the application server 32 can directly manage transmission and connection / confirmation.

Meanwhile, the case in which the MMS center 29 is linked to the multimedia messaging service server 27 will be described with reference to FIG. 3B. In this case, as described above, the message transmission procedure and the message confirmation procedure of the receiving terminal 30 may vary depending on whether the receiving terminal 30 supports the MMS.

Accordingly, the multimedia messaging service server 27 and the MMS center 29 connect the transmitting terminal 21 and the receiving terminal 30 on the mobile communication network, the Internet (WEB), the wireless Internet (WAP), and the public telephone network (PSTN). Text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21-1 through a message center (SMS center) 26 of a mobile communication network or a message center (for example, an MMS center) of the Internet, a wireless Internet, or a public telephone network. Adding a sound source and / or a picture to a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminals 21-2 to 21-4 through (29) (creating a multimedia messaging page) and sending the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30. Transmit (see FIG. 3B). This can be prepared in two ways as shown in Figure 3b, and will be described in more detail the functions of the multimedia messaging service server 27 and MMS center (29).

However, in FIG. 3B, when the application server 32 inputs the first text message 311 and requests the MMS center 29 whether the receiving terminal 30 supports MMS, the application server 32 requests the MMS center 29 so that the receiving terminal 30 is an MMS unsupported terminal. Note that the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 according to the procedures 301 to 308 of FIG. 3A. Therefore, hereinafter, it is assumed that the receiving terminal 30 supports the MMS.

First, the multimedia messaging service server 27 searches for a word included in a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21, and contents one-to-one (or one-to-many) mapped information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) to the word. After extracting from the server 28, it is transmitted directly or in addition to the text message in the MMS center 29 to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) (30). At this time, information (sound and / or picture, etc.) are stored and registered in the content server 28, and information (sound and / or picture, etc.) forms a one-to-one mapping relationship for each word retrieved from the multimedia messaging service server 27. In principle, however, a sound source and a picture may be mapped to a single word. When the text message is input (311), when the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests a message search to the search engine 31 (312), the search engine 31 is included in the text message The word is searched for, and the content server 28 searches for information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the searched word (313), and then informs the application server 32 of the content location (or number) (314). . Then, the application server 32 extracts the information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the searched word from the content server 28, matches the text message (creates a multimedia messaging page), and stores the location and the combination method. (34) (storing related information such as message + content or messaging page) (315). Then, the MMS center 29 generates a link URL of the multimedia messaging page and transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the swap server (web server) 33 (316).

In particular, if the application server 32 stores the location and combination method in the database 34 after creating the multimedia messaging page (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page) 315, the MMS center 29 multimedia messaging Request the SMS center (SMSC) 26 to make a link URL of the page and send it to the SMS (317), and the SMS center 26 receives the link URL of the multimedia messaging page via the SMS terminal (MMS supporting terminal). (30) may be transmitted (318).

In addition, it is assumed that the application server 32 stores the location and combination method in the database 34 after storing the multimedia messaging page (related information such as message + content or messaging page). Create a multimedia messaging page directly from the MMS center 29, and save the location and combination method in the database 34 (storing related information such as message + content or messaging page) and generate a link URL of the multimedia messaging page. have.

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "I love you a lot.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 searches for the word "love" in the text message "I love you a lot." After extracting the sound source and / or the picture mapped to the "love" from the content server 28, matching it to a text message to create a multimedia messaging page (or creating a messaging page in the MMS center 29), MMS The center 29 transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the swap server (web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. In this case, if a sound source and a picture are mapped to the word "love" at the same time, a multimedia messaging page is created by reflecting all of them in a text message.

Second, the multimedia messaging service server 27 automatically extracts a keyword from a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 through a natural language processing process, and provides information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) suitable for the extracted keyword to the content server. After searching in (28), it is transmitted to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30 directly or in addition to the text message (text + sound source and / or picture) in the MMS center 29. To this end, the search engine 31 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 extracts information (eg, sound, voice, music, picture, etc.) suitable for a keyword from the content server 28 through natural language processing. At this time, the information suitable for the keyword uses information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) stored and registered in the content server 28. Here, the search engine (automatic natural language search and keyword extraction system) 31 undergoes natural language processing in the input text message of the transmitting terminal 21 to obtain optimal information (for example, sound, voice, music, pictures, etc.). It is responsible for extracting). At this time, the natural language processing processes the extracted nouns and compound nouns in the input natural language query, and performs the expansion of the synonym for the keyword / main control in the query. Accordingly, when the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 receives a text message (a sentence), that is, a sentence composed of natural language as a search word (311), the search engine 31 requests a message search (312). In addition, the search engine 31 automatically extracts and analyzes an index word (keyword) from a text message through a natural language processing process, and searches the content server 28 for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the extracted keyword. After 313, the content location (or number) is notified to the application server 32 (314), so that the application server 32 sends information (such as sound and / or picture) corresponding to the extracted keywords to the content server 28. After extracting from the text message and matching it to the text message (creating a multimedia messaging page), the location and the combination method are stored (message + related information such as message or content or messaging page storage) (315). Then, the MMS center 29 generates a link URL of the multimedia messaging page and transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the swap server (web server) 33 (316).

In this case, if the application server 32 stores the location and combination method in the database 34 after creating the multimedia messaging page (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page storage) 315, in particular in the MMS center 29 Create a link URL of the multimedia messaging page, request to the SMS center (SMSC) 26 to send to the SMS (317), the SMS center (SMSC) 26 receives the link URL of the multimedia messaging page through the SMS terminal ( MMS support terminal) 30 may be transmitted (318).

In addition, it is assumed that the application server 32 stores the location and the combination method in the database 34 after storing the multimedia messaging page (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page), but more preferably, the application server ( 32 requests the MMS center 29 to create a multimedia messaging page at the MMS center 29, and stores the location and combination method in the database 34 (storing related information such as message + content or messaging page) and multimedia messaging. You can also generate a link URL for the page.

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "Happy Birthday.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 naturally processes the text message "Happy Birthday." After extracting the "congratulations", a sound source or a picture corresponding to "birthday" and "congratulations" registered and stored in the content server 28 with the words "birthday" and "congratulations" is searched. After creating a multimedia messaging page (or creating a messaging page in the MMS center 29) by matching sound text and / or pictures corresponding to "birthday" and "celebration" with a text message, the MMS center 29 Transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the swap server (web server) 33 or the SMS center 26.

The application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 is interlocked with the picture friend server and the ringtone server of the service provider content server 28 to extract words searched through the search engine 31 (not through natural language processing). Key words) or keywords (key words extracted through natural language processing) to extract the latest information (such as sound sources and / or pictures). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the content server 28 itself may be provided in the multimedia messaging service server 27 itself without interworking with the outside.

Meanwhile, the multimedia messaging service server 27 or the MMS center 29 sends the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) through the swap server (or may be a web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. When transmitting to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30, there can be a number of ways, for example, by sending the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30, the receiver is OK or access button Press to make the message audible, or send a message including a Teleservice ID related to access to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30 by using WAP Push or MMS Push as another example. The receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30 automatically connects to the swap server (or web server) 33 or the MMS center 29 with the message notification (319) based on the database 34 in which the message is stored. Automatically messages (text Message + sound source and / or picture) to the receiver (320).

At this time, all functions of the swap server (or web server) 33 may be performed by the application server 32 (consisting of one module), and an interworking form thereof may be possible. Accordingly, the WAP Push or MMS Push support receiving terminal 30 shows the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) in real time with the incoming notification upon receiving the message (when receiving the message, the actual swap server (or web server) ( 33) or automatically connected to the MMS center (29) to show the multimedia message), WAP Push or MMS Push unsupported receiving terminal 30 after receiving the notification via the OK or access button multimedia message (text + sound and / or picture) It is possible to check the (receipt of the message upon receipt of the message by connecting to the server (or web server) 33 or the MMS center 29 to show the multimedia message).

As described above, there may be two ways in which the multimedia messaging service server 27 or the MMS center 29 transmits a message notification to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30. The multimedia messaging service server 27 ) Directly to the receiving terminal 30 including a communication identifier (Teleservice ID) related to access to the receiving terminal 30 by using a WAP Push through the WAP server (or web server) 33. Although it may be sent, it may be configured to send a message including a Teleservice ID related to the connection to the receiving terminal 30 by using the MMS Push through the SMS center (SMSC) 26. At this time, as described above, since the function of the swap server (web server) 33 can be performed in the application server 32, the multimedia messaging page of the multimedia messaging service server 27 directly or in the MMS center 29 When the link URL is transmitted to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 and the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 for message checking is connected, it is directly transmitted and connected from the application server 32 or the MMS center 29. · Can oversee confirmation.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for multimedia messaging service according to the present invention.

First, when creating a text message "Happy Birthday" on the sending terminal 21 capable of SMS (or MMS, EMS, etc.), insert the multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, **) at the end of the text message, or (Happy Birthday **), insert the multimedia messaging service identifier (for example **) at the end of the destination number (for example, 011-9992-0731) to receive the message (01199920731 **) (Or MMS, EMS, etc.) (401), multimedia messaging service identifier (**) at the SMS center (or message center including MMS center) 26 or the message center (Gateway 29) Recognizing that the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 is a multimedia messaging service related message through, and transmits the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 to the multimedia messaging service server 27 (402). That is, in the SMS center (message center) 26 or the message center (Gateway) 29, a part of the text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 (last or first, etc.) or the multimedia number included in the called party number to receive the message It recognizes that the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 is a multimedia messaging service through a messaging service identifier (for example, a special symbol, a letter, a number, etc.), and transmits the text message to the multimedia messaging service server 27.

Subsequently, the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests the search engine 31 to search for a message, and the word included in the text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 in the search engine 31 (natural language). Search for the word according to the key word extraction process, not the processing process (403), and then search the content server 28 for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) matching the word (404), and then the corresponding content (sound source) And / or a picture, etc.) to the application server 32. The application server 32 then extracts from the content server 28 based on the content location information and adds it to a text message (creating a multimedia messaging page, i.e., text + sound and / or picture) (405). ) And the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30 through the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. (406).

At this time, the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 may transmit the link URL of the multimedia messaging page through the swap server (or web server) 33 or directly to the receiving terminal 30, but more preferably. May create a link URL of the multimedia messaging page and request the SMS center 26 to transmit the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30 through the SMS center 26.

In this case, the content server 28 stores and registers information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to a word searched through a keyword extraction process instead of a natural language processing process in the search engine 31 of the multimedia messaging service server 27. In principle, one information (such as a sound source and / or a picture) is mapped one-to-one to one word, but the sound source and the picture may be simultaneously mapped to one word.

Looking at the above process in more detail, when inputting a text message, the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests a search for the message to the search engine 31, the search engine 31 included in the text message Searched words (keyword extraction process instead of natural language processing process) (403), and the content server 28 searches for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the searched word, Informs the application server 32 of the content location (or number). Then, the application server 32 extracts the corresponding information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) from the content server 28 based on the content location information (404), matches the text message (creating a multimedia messaging page) (405). ) The location and combination method are stored in the database 34 (storing related information such as text message + content) and the link URL of the multimedia messaging page for the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26 is stored. The transmission is sent to the receiving terminal 30 (406). At this time, when the message is notified, the receiver can immediately or later press the OK or access button to access the swap server (or web server) 33 or the application server 32 in which the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) is stored. The multimedia message stored in the database 34 may be checked (407). This method, when receiving a message, confirms the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) after acknowledging the message receiver.

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "I love you a lot.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 sends the word "love" in the text message "I love you a lot." Search through the keyword extraction process, and the sound source (e.g., "love" song, etc.) and / or picture (e.g., "cupid's arrow") mapped to the "love" content server ( 28), and then match it with a text message (for example, a text message with a background of 'Cupid's arrow', or a text message with 'Cupid's arrow' drawn on a love word, or 'with love'). After creating a multimedia messaging page such as a text message with a song as the background sound, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 through the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. In this case, if a sound source (eg, a song called 'love') and a picture (eg, 'cupid's arrow') are simultaneously mapped to the word "love," all of them are reflected in the text message. Create a multimedia messaging page (for example, a text message with the song 'Love' as the background sound and 'Cupid's arrow' as the background). Subsequently, in the receiving terminal 30, when the message receiver presses the OK or access button, the receiving terminal 30 accesses the swap server (or web server) 33 or the application server 32 in which the multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) is stored. "Text message with background of" Cupid's Arrow "stored in the database 34, or" Text message with "Cupid's arrow" drawn in the word "Love", or "Love" as a background sound It shows / listens multimedia messages such as text message ”,“ text message with 'Love' ”as the background sound and 'Text' with the arrow of Cupid as the background '.

Meanwhile, the multimedia messaging service server 27 automatically extracts a keyword (word) from a text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 through a natural language processing process (403), so that information suitable for the extracted keyword (sound source and / or After retrieving the content server 28 from the content server 28 (404), it is added to the text message (creating the multimedia messaging page, i.e., text + sound source and / or picture) (405) to receive the link URL of the multimedia messaging page. And transmits to (30) (406).

In this case, when the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 receives a text message (a sentence), that is, a sentence made of a natural language, the search engine 31 requests a message search. Then, the search engine 31 receives a text message (sentence) composed of natural language as a search word through a natural language processing process, automatically extracts an index word (keyword) (403), and information (sound source and And / or pictures) are retrieved from the content server 28 and the content location (or number) is reported to the application server 32. Subsequently, the application server 32 extracts the corresponding information (such as a sound source and / or a picture) from the content server 28 based on the content location information and matches the text message (creating a multimedia messaging page) 405. The location and the combination method are stored in the database 34 (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page), and the link URL of the multimedia messaging page for the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26 is stored. In step 406, the transmission to the receiving terminal 30 is performed. At this time, a message including a communication identifier (Teleservice ID) related to access is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 using a WAP Push or SMS Push, and the receiving terminal 30 automatically sends a multimedia message together with the message notification. The multimedia message stored in the database 34 may be checked by accessing a swap server (or web server) 33 or an application server 32 in which a message (text + sound source and / or picture) is stored (407). This method allows the user to automatically connect to a multimedia message (text + sound source and / or picture) upon receipt of the message without having to obtain confirmation of the message recipient.

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "Happy Birthday.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 naturally processes the text message "Happy Birthday." "," Congratulations ", the sound recording (e.g.," birthday "songs, etc.) corresponding to" birthday "and" celebration "stored in the content server 28 with the words" birthday "and" congratulations ", and And / or extract a picture (e.g., "cake" wallpaper, etc.) and match it to a text message (e.g., text message with "cake" as wallpaper, or "cake" for the word congratulation). Text message drawn or text message with 'birthday' song as background sound, text message with 'birthday' song as background sound and 'cake' as wallpaper), etc. After creating a multimedia messaging page, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page Transmits to the receiving terminal 30. Subsequently, the reception terminal 30 automatically connects to the swap server (or web server) 33 or the application server 32 at the same time as the multimedia message notification, and sets the "'cake' stored in the database 34 as the wallpaper. Text message "or" Text message with 'cake' in the words of congratulation ", or" Text message with the song "Happy birthday" as background sound, "" Birthday "as the background sound and 'Cake' as wallpaper Multimedia message such as "one text message" to the receiver.

The above process assumes that the MMS center of the message center 29 is not linked to the multimedia messaging service server 27. When the MMS center 29 is linked to the multimedia messaging service server 27, the subject of generating the messaging paging link URL and the message checking procedure of the receiving terminal 30 vary according to whether the receiving terminal 30 supports MMS.

First, when creating a text message "Happy Birthday" on the sending terminal 21 capable of SMS (or MMS, EMS, etc.), insert the multimedia messaging service identifier (for example, **) at the end of the text message, or (Happy Birthday **), insert the multimedia messaging service identifier (for example **) at the end of the destination number (for example, 011-9992-0731) to receive the message (01199920731 **) (Or MMS, EMS, etc.) when transmitted (401), transmitted via the multimedia messaging service identifier (**) from the SMS center (or message center including MMS center) 26 or MMS center 29 Recognizing that the text message from the terminal 21 is a multimedia messaging service related message, the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 is transmitted to the multimedia messaging service server 27 (402). That is, in the SMS center 26 or the MMS center 29, a multimedia messaging service identifier included in a part of the text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 (last or first, etc.) or a called number to receive a message. Recognizing that the text message from the transmitting terminal 21 is a multimedia messaging service through (for example, special symbols, letters, numbers, etc.), the text message is transmitted to the multimedia messaging service server 27.

At this time, the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests the MMS center 29 whether the receiving terminal 30 supports MMS when a text message is input, and the above process is performed when the receiving terminal 30 is an MMS unsupported terminal (multimedia messaging). The link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 according to the procedure of the message center 29, in particular, when the MMS center is not linked to the service server 27, and the receiving terminal 30 sends the MMS supporting terminal. In case of, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 according to the following procedure.

That is, the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests the search engine 31 to search for a message, and the word included in the text message transmitted from the transmitting terminal 21 in the search engine 31 (natural language). Search for the word according to the key word extraction process, not the processing process (403), and then search the content server 28 for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) matching the word (404), and then the corresponding content (sound source) And / or a picture, etc.) to the application server 32.

The application server 32 then extracts from the content server 28 based on the content location information and adds it to a text message (creating a multimedia messaging page, i.e., text + sound and / or picture) (405). ), The MMS center 29 generates a link URL of the multimedia messaging page and stores the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26. The transmission is transmitted to the receiving terminal (MMS support terminal) 30 through 406.

At this time, the MMS center 29 may transmit the link URL of the multimedia messaging page directly through the swap server (or web server) 33, but more preferably, the SMS URL 26 is generated by creating the link URL of the multimedia messaging page. In addition, the link URL of the multimedia messaging page may be transmitted to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the SMS center 26.

In this case, the content server 28 stores and registers information (sound and / or pictures, etc.) corresponding to the words searched through the keyword extraction process instead of the natural language processing process in the search engine 31 of the multimedia messaging service server 27. In principle, one information (such as a sound source and / or a picture) is mapped one-to-one to one word, but the sound source and the picture may be simultaneously mapped to one word.

Looking at the above process in more detail, when inputting a text message, the application server 32 of the multimedia messaging service server 27 requests a search for the message to the search engine 31, the search engine 31 included in the text message Searched words (keyword extraction process instead of natural language processing process) (403), and the content server 28 searches for information (sound and / or picture, etc.) corresponding to the searched word, Informs the application server 32 of the content location (or number). Then, the application server 32 extracts the corresponding information (sound source and / or picture, etc.) from the content server 28 based on the content location information (404), matches the text message (creating a multimedia messaging page) (405). ) The position and combination method are stored in the database 34 (related information such as text message + content). Then, the MMS center 29 generates a link URL of the multimedia messaging page and transmits the link URL to the receiving terminal (MMS supporting terminal) 30 through the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26 (406). ).

Then, the search engine 31 receives a text message (sentence) composed of natural language as a search word through a natural language processing process, automatically extracts an index word (keyword) (403), and information (sound source and And / or pictures) are retrieved from the content server 28 and the content location (or number) is reported to the application server 32. Subsequently, the application server 32 extracts the corresponding information (such as a sound source and / or a picture) from the content server 28 based on the content location information and matches the text message (creating a multimedia messaging page) 405. The location and combination method are stored in the database 34 (relevant information such as message + content or messaging page). Then, the MMS center 29 transmits the link URL of the multimedia messaging page to the receiving terminal 30 through the swap server (or web server) 33 or the SMS center 26 (406). At this time, a message including a communication identifier (Teleservice ID) related to access is transmitted to the receiving terminal 30 using WAP Push or MMS Push, and the receiving terminal 30 automatically receives a multimedia message (text + The multimedia message stored in the database 34 may be checked by accessing a swap server (or web server) 33 or an MMS center 29 in which sound sources and / or pictures are stored (407). This method allows the user to automatically access multimedia messages (text + sound source and / or picture) without receiving confirmation of the recipient of the message.

For example, when the transmitting terminal 21 transmits a text message "Happy Birthday.", The multimedia messaging service server 27 naturally processes the text message "Happy Birthday." "," Congratulations ", the sound recording (e.g.," birthday "songs, etc.) corresponding to" birthday "and" celebration "stored in the content server 28 with the words" birthday "and" congratulations ", and And / or extract a picture (e.g., "cake" wallpaper, etc.) and match it to a text message (e.g., text message with "cake" as wallpaper, or "cake" for the word congratulation). If you create a multimedia messaging page such as a text message with a drawn text, or a text message with a 'birthday' song as the background sound, a text message with a 'birthday' song as the background sound, and 'cake' as the wallpaper), the MMS center 29 Terminal 30 receiving the link URL of the multimedia messaging page It transmits. Thereafter, the reception terminal 30 automatically connects to the swap server (or web server) 33 or the MMS center 29 at the same time as the multimedia message notification, and sets the "'cake' stored in the database 34 as the wallpaper. Text message "or" Text message with 'cake' in the words of congratulation ", or" Text message with the song "Happy birthday" as background sound, "" Birthday "as the background sound and 'Cake' as wallpaper Multimedia message such as "one text message" to the receiver.
