The present invention relates to a system and method for storing personal information of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a system and method for storing personal information of a mobile communication terminal through a wireless communication network.

In recent years, mobile communication terminals are becoming a necessity of social life, and their use groups are gradually expanding regardless of gender. Accordingly, mobile communication companies are adding various functions to their products and providing them to customers in order to be compatible with other companies' products. The mobile communication terminal includes a cellular phone, a personal communication services phone (PCS), an international mobile telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000) terminal, a global system for mobile communication (GSM), a GPRS, and an AMPS ( Advanced Mobile Phone Service) terminal and IS-95 terminal.

One of the functions provided above is the memory function. The memory function allows a user to store a plurality of desired phone numbers and other necessary personal information contents so that they can be checked as necessary. Due to this function, the user does not separately prepare a phone number notebook by storing most necessary phone numbers in the mobile communication terminal.

On the other hand, as the use of mobile communication service has increased rapidly, the number of users who have lost mobile communication terminals has increased, and as new models of terminals have been released, more users have been replacing the terminals. Frequently you have to retype. However, it is not an inconvenient task to input new phone number information into the mobile communication terminal one by one. As an alternative to this, there is a method of backing up a phone book on a mobile communication terminal to a computer by using a data communication cable and transmitting the data to a mobile communication terminal later.

1 is a view showing a connection relationship for storing personal information of a mobile communication terminal by wire according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mobile communication terminal 10 is directly connected to the computer terminal 20 by a wired cable. The cable may be a cable connected to a serial communication port (serial port) or a cable for a universal serial bus (hereinafter, referred to as a USB), and may perform wired data communication with other mobile communication terminals. Any cable can be changed.

As described above, the personal information data stored in the mobile communication terminal can be transmitted to or received from the computer terminal by wire through the cable.

However, in order to use the above method, a data communication cable must be gradientd separately. In addition, since the data communication cable connection terminals are different for each mobile communication terminal manufacturer, general mobile communication terminal users cannot easily use the data communication connection cable unless they use the same terminal.

Meanwhile, recently, a mobile communication terminal equipped with a smart card has been developed, and is configured to store information and various data of the subscriber in the flash memory of the smart card.

One typical use of the smart card is to provide a roaming service of a mobile communication terminal by embedding a subscriber identification module. The smart card for the mobile phone subscriber identification module includes a subscriber identity module (SIM) card of a GSM system, a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) of a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS), a user identity module (UIM) card of a CDMA system, and a RUIM ( Removable User Identity Module) cards, and the smart card as a subscriber identification module basically uses a contact smart card for sharing information with a mobile phone.                         

In more detail, as is well known, in the GSM system, which is a European mobile communication system, in order to cope with a change of a terminal or a change in a carrier, a subscriber identification module, which can be referred to as an interface between a mobile phone and a network, is described above. One SIM card has been applied. The SIM card contains information about the user including a phone number. When the power is turned on, the SIM card transmits and receives information on the SIM card to the network.

The USIM card is intended for application to the UMTS system capable of transmitting third generation, broadband packet-based text, digitized voice or video, and multimedia data at high speeds of 2Mbps or higher, regardless of where mobile phone or computer users are anywhere in the world. As a smart card, it is embedded in the IMT-2000 service commercial terminal and can contain user data together with secret authentication data.

In addition, the UIM is a smart card improved to apply the SIM of the European GSM to the second generation CDMA system, RUIM is a removable smart card for applying to the 3 generation CDMA system.

Therefore, even if the terminal user changes to a new type of terminal, the smart card is removable, so that the personal storage information can be easily transferred by attaching the smart card to the new terminal.

However, in the above method, when the terminal is lost, there is no method for updating personal information. In addition, when using a heterogeneous terminal that is not attached to the smart card, there is a problem that is not compatible.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for storing personal information of a mobile communication terminal in a server through the wireless network in a mobile communication system capable of data communication with a wireless network.
