However, there is a restriction on the size of transmission of multimedia messages according to the network status of each country, and mobile communication terminal manufacturers have not been able to properly cope with this.
For example, sometimes the size of a multimedia message transmission is too large to be transmitted. For example, if a multimedia message can be transmitted or received up to 200KB in country A, it may not be able to Receiving is not possible. That is, when a user receiving a multimedia message service in the country A moves to the country B and uses the multimedia message service, the service may be restricted.
In addition, the time limit will be described as follows. The state of the network may vary depending on the time zone in which the user receives the multimedia message service. That is, a difference occurs in the amount of transmission and reception of a message according to the number of connected users and the state of equipment used to access and use the multimedia message service. For example, if the access user transmits a large sized multimedia message during many times, the message may not be transmitted due to the large size.
As described above, the amount of transmission and reception of multimedia messages in a conventional mobile communication terminal has a problem of being restricted by time depending on regional and network conditions according to a country, a region, and a mobile communication network.
Accordingly, the present invention in consideration of such a problem is to provide a multimedia message transmission and reception method of a mobile communication terminal suitable for efficient message transmission by allowing the size of the transmission and reception of the multimedia message can be flexibly adjusted according to region and time. The purpose is.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for entering a multimedia message service-related menu configured in a terminal, setting a transmission / reception size of a multimedia message by a user input, and setting the multimedia message according to the set transmission / reception size. Characterized in that it comprises a step of transmitting and receiving.
In addition, the transmission and reception size of the multimedia message is characterized in that it is configured to set the region or time zone, and to set the message size for the region or time zone.
In addition, the transmission and reception size of the multimedia message is characterized in that it is configured to set the maximum and minimum transmission and reception amount of the multimedia message service.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of a method for transmitting and receiving a multimedia message of a mobile communication terminal having the above characteristics will be described.
Prior to the detailed description of the present invention, in order to implement the present invention, an item that can set the maximum and minimum transmission size (amount) of multimedia messages for overcoming regional limitations in the multimedia message service-related menu configured in the terminal and overcome the time limitations According to the time zone, an item for setting the amount of message transmission or quality of service (QoS) should be additionally configured.
1 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for transmitting and receiving a multimedia message of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention to overcome local restrictions on the amount of transmission and reception of a multimedia message.
As shown in FIG. 1, the method for transmitting and receiving a multimedia message of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention includes entering a menu related to a multimedia message, selecting an item capable of adjusting an amount of transmission and reception of a message, and selecting a region from the selected item. And setting a maximum / minimum transmission amount of a message, and transmitting and receiving a multimedia message.
An operation of an embodiment of the present invention consisting of these steps will be described with reference to FIG. Fig. 2 shows the conventional regional limitations of user A and the situation of user B applying the present invention when the user receiving the multimedia message service in the country A receives the multimedia message service in the country B.
Referring to FIG. 2, if the user A uses the multimedia message service environment in the country A as it is in the country B, which may have a different amount of multimedia message transmission, the user may not receive the multimedia message service properly in the country B. The user A applying the present invention receives the service after setting the transmission amount (size) of the multimedia message according to the multimedia message service environment of the country B, so that the local problem does not occur as before.
In more detail, in order to receive the multimedia message service of the country B from the country B through the roaming service, the user enters the multimedia message related menu configured in the terminal menu through the key operation. (S11).
When the user enters the menu related to the multimedia message, the controller (not shown) displays a lower item of the multimedia related menu on the display unit (not shown). Preferably, the lower item of the multimedia related menu includes at least one item for controlling the amount of multimedia message transmission and reception according to a region.
The user selects a specific region that can adjust the amount of multimedia message transmission and reception according to the region configured in the lower item of the multimedia related menu (S12), and when the specific region is set, the controller displays a predetermined window on the display unit.
In the predetermined window, the user sets the maximum or minimum value of the transmission amount (size) of the multimedia message applied to the desired area (S13). The maximum or minimum value of the transmission amount (size) of the set multimedia message is stored in a memory (not shown).
Therefore, if a user moves to another region where the size of multimedia messages can be transmitted from one region to another, and receives the service in the region, the user can transmit and receive the multimedia message at a message size (maximum or minimum) already set for the region. You can overcome the limitations.
Thereafter, the control unit transmits the multimedia message to another user or receives from the other user through a wireless unit (not shown) according to the size of the transmission and reception of the set multimedia message (S14).
3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for transmitting and receiving a multimedia message of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for overcoming a time limit on the amount of transmission and reception of a multimedia message. As shown, entering a menu related to the multimedia message, selecting an item that can adjust the amount of transmission and reception of the message over time, setting the amount of transmission and reception or QoS of the message for each time zone in the selected item, multimedia It consists of sending and receiving messages.
An operation of an embodiment of the present invention consisting of these steps will be described with reference to FIG. The multimedia message service depends on the state of the network or the number of connected users. For example, if a large number of users access and use the network, a lot of load is applied to the multimedia message service.
FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment in which QoS of a multimedia message is set based on the number of connected users over time, that is, a normal user.
Referring to FIG. 4, the average users use a lot of time at a specific time (for example, 18 o'clock to 24 o'clock) because the daily life time using the service is almost similar, and another time (for example, 0 o'clock ~). 6 o'clock)
Accordingly, the present invention seeks to overcome the time limitation by appropriately setting and using the amount of transmission and reception or QoS of the multimedia message service for such a time.
Referring to the process of setting the QoS of the multimedia message service for such a time as follows. First, the user enters a multimedia related menu configured in the terminal (S21), and selects an item for setting a transmission / reception amount of a message or a QoS according to a time zone among the lower items configured in the menu (S22).
For example, if the QoS of the multimedia message service is set according to the time zone, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the time zone (1) of 0-6 o'clock with the smallest number of access users is set to
In addition, the time zone (②) from 6 to 12 is a relatively smooth service situation, and the QoS level is changed to 1 to 2, and the time zone (③) from 12 to 18:00 is more and more connected. As it is not good, change the QoS level to 2 ~ 4. The time zone (4) between 18 and 24 hours has the highest number of access users. Therefore, the QoS level is changed to 4 to 5 because the network state is not the best. That is, it is possible to send and receive multimedia messages more efficiently by setting the maximum value of the amount of transmission and reception of the message for each time zone.
In this way, after setting the QoS level for each time zone (S23), if the multimedia message is transmitted and received, the message is transmitted and received at the QoS level set according to the time for transmitting and receiving (S24).
As described in detail above, the present invention can effectively adjust the size of the transmission and reception amount of the multimedia message according to region and time, and thus, there is an effect that efficient message transmission can be achieved.
