3 is a flowchart illustrating an authentication process in a transmitting mobile terminal 100A according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 illustrates an authentication process in a message transmission system of portable terminals 100A and 100B according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Signal flow diagram shown.

3 and 4, when the transmitting-side portable terminal 100A receives an authentication request for the receiving-side portable terminal 100B in step S101, the number and the number of the receiving-side portable terminal 100B in step S102. The authentication request for the authentication server 200 is transmitted.

In detail, the authentication server 200 transmits a message to the receiving mobile terminal 100B to request the authentication of the mobile terminal 100A to the receiving mobile terminal 100B. Here, when the receiving side mobile terminal 100B receives the authentication request message from the authentication server 200, the receiving side portable terminal 100B accepts the authentication by user selection and transmits the authentication acceptance message to the authentication server 200. When the authentication server 200 receives the authentication acceptance message from the receiving portable terminal 100B, the authentication server 200 notifies the transmitting portable terminal 100A of the authentication and stores the authenticated telephone number in the transmitting portable terminal 100A. That is, the authentication server 200 stores in the sending mobile terminal 100A what mobile number has been authenticated, and stores the newly authenticated and deleted numbers from the transmitting mobile terminal 100A. Can manage

The transmitting-side portable terminal 100A receives the authentication notification message from the authentication server 200 in step S103, and stores the telephone number authenticated in step S104 in a special group. In addition, when storing the authenticated phone number in a special group, the transmitting-side mobile terminal 100A sets additional information to be attached to the extra payload of the message input box as shown in FIG. 5A when sending a message to the authenticated phone number. do. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the user of the transmitting mobile terminal 100A may set aaa stored in a special group to attach additional information including an emotional state, location information and weather to an extra payload. For example, bbb may be configured to transmit additional information including location information and weather.

In addition, the user of the transmitting-side portable terminal 100A can set additional information to be attached according to the extra payload. For example, when the size of the extra payload is 10 bytes or less, a simple business card of the user of the mobile terminal 100A of the sender is attached, the weather information is less than 20 bytes, the location information and emotion state is less than 30 bytes, the location information is less than 40 bytes, Emotion status, business card, location information, emotion status and weather can be set to transmit when less than 50 bytes. In addition, the transmitting-side portable terminal 100A attaches and transmits the priority information in the order of priority.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a message transmission method of the transmitting-side portable terminal 100A according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the transmitter-side control unit 170A detects a message key input in step S201, the transmitter control unit 170A displays a message input box in step S202.

If the message is input to the message input box in step S203 and the user wants to input the recipient number, the transmitting control unit 170A displays the recipient number input box in step S204. When the transmitter side control unit 170A detects that the receiver number is input in step S205, the transmitter side controller 170A checks whether the receiver number is a phone number stored in a special group in step S206. In this case, the special group is a group in which a phone number authenticated through the authentication server 200 is stored.

When the transmitter side control unit 170A confirms that the receiver number is a phone number stored in the special group in step S206, the transmitter side controller 170A checks the extra payload size of the message input box in step S207. In general, a short message service (SMS Short Message Service) can write a message of 80 bytes, the multimedia message service (MMS Multimedia Message Service) 160 bytes. Therefore, when an extra payload of a certain size occurs according to the message service selected by the user of the transmitting control unit 170A, the message is transmitted with the additional information of the transmitting mobile terminal 100A attached.

In step S208, the transmitting side controller 170A checks whether additional information is set according to the telephone number in the special group. If it is set to attach additional information differently according to the telephone number in the special group in step S208, in step S209 the additional information setting of the recipient number is determined. The additional information according to the receiver number set in step S210 is collected, and the additional information is attached to the message in step S211, and the message with the additional information is sent to the receiver number in step S212.

However, if the transmitting control unit 170A is not configured to attach the additional information according to the telephone number in the special group in step S208, the additional control unit 170A attaches the additional information according to the extra payload size in step S213. The transmitting control unit 170A collects additional information set according to the extra payload size in step S214, and returns to step S211 to attach the collected additional information to the message. The transmitting control unit 170A transmits the message with the additional information collected in step S212 to the recipient number.

As described above, in the detailed description of the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the claims below, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the message transmission method of the mobile terminal of the present invention proposed by the present invention attaches additional information of the sender to the extra payload when the message is transmitted to the receiver under a predetermined condition so that the receiver can easily know the sender's status. have.
