The SMS telephone system of the present invention includes an SMS telephone 1 with a Bluetooth function as shown in FIG. 2 and a PC 2 for processing data transmitted wirelessly from the SMS telephone 1. do.

First, the SMS telephone 1 is an interface 5 for interfacing a call signal or text data of an external caller transmitted from an exchange system 4 via a trunk line 3, for example, e-mail or SMS data. ), A data signal processor 6 for modulating and demodulating data input / output via the interface unit 5, such as a voice call signal, an email or SMS data, and data processed by the data signal processor 6, for example. A memory unit 7 for storing other processing data of the SMS phone 1, including e-mail or SMS data, an e-mail address book editing unit 8 for editing an e-mail address book stored in the memory unit 7, and the e-mail. A control unit 9 for controlling the overall function of the SMS phone 1, including an e-mail address book editing function of the address book editing unit 8, and a data transmission control signal of the control unit 9 for transmission. Emitter for example, such as e-mail or e-mail address book or SMS data by processing the radio signal includes an external PC (2) a Bluetooth wireless unit 10 is sending or receiving a signal such as a.

One end of the control unit 9 is connected to a keypad 11 for inputting a function setting signal of a user and an LCD panel 12 for displaying internal processing matters of the SMS phone 1 to the outside.

In addition, the PC 2 is a Bluetooth unit 13 for receiving and processing the e-mail and email address book data transmitted from the wireless Bluetooth unit 10 of the SMS phone 1 and the reverse process, and the Bluetooth A CPU 14 for controlling overall functions of the PC 2, including a function of editing and resending the email or email address book data of the SMS phone 1 input through the unit 13, and the CPU 14 An e-mail address processor 15 for processing an e-mail signal input / output via an external communication line such as a LAN or the Internet according to a function control signal of the e-mail address, and an e-mail address book processed by the CPU 14 connected to one end of the CPU 14. And a memory unit 16 for storing other processing data including edited data, and a keyboard 17 connected to one end of the CPU 14 to input a function setting signal of a user.

Next, a control method applied to the system of the present invention as described above will be described.

First, the method of the present invention proceeds to the text data input determination step (S2) in the initial state (S1), as shown in Figure 3 to determine whether the text data, for example, e-mail or SMS data through the trunk line. At this time, if the character data, for example, email or SMS data is not input through the CO line and other voice calls are input as a result of the determination during the character data input determination step (S2), proceed to the general function execution step (S3) to perform the corresponding call function. Run

However, when character data, such as e-mail or SMS data, is input through the trunk line as a result of the determination during the character data input determination step S2, the process proceeds to the input data processing step S4 to display the e-mail or SMS data input through the trunk line. Store in memory.

After the input data processing step S4, the process proceeds to the data editing function determination step S5 to determine whether the current data editing function is set. If the editing function for the e-mail or SMS data is not set as a result of the determination during the data editing function determination step (S5), the process proceeds to the general function execution step (S3) and repeats the loop. However, if the editing function for e-mail or SMS data is set as a result of the determination during the data editing function determination step (S5), the process proceeds to the edit data transmission step (S6) and wireless signal processing of the corresponding e-mail or e-mail address book or SMS data. To the PC.

After the edit data transmission step (S6), the control proceeds to the data external editing step (S7), and edits the edit data, that is, the email, the email address book or the SMS data wirelessly transmitted from the SMS phone on the PC, and retransmits it to the SMS phone again. . In addition, after the data external editing step (S7), the data update step (S8) is performed to update the data previously stored in the memory by using the edit data transmitted from the PC.

In addition, after the data update step S8, the process proceeds to the data transmission request determination step S9 to determine whether a signal for requesting data transmission, for example, email or SMS data transmission, is input from the current user. At this time, if the signal for requesting data transmission, e.g., email or SMS data transmission, is not set by the user as a result of the determination during the data transmission request determination step S9, the process proceeds to the end step. However, when a signal for requesting data transmission, e.g., email or SMS data transmission, is set by the user as a result of the determination during the data transmission request determination step (S9), the process proceeds to the data transmission step (S10) and the counter address set by the user. Send email or SMS data to.

In other words, when the data signal is input from the external exchange system 4 via the trunk line, the control unit 9 of the SMS phone 1 interfaces it via the interface unit 5 and inputs it to the data signal processing unit 6. For example, when the input data signal is an FSK signal, that is, an e-mail or an SMS signal, the controller 9 converts the FSK signal into a digital signal through the data signal processor 6 and stores the digital signal in the memory 7. The control unit 9 separates only sender information such as an email address, a phone number, a sender's name, and an advertisement company name of the sender of the message, and stores the sender information in an area of the memory unit 7 designated as an address book area.

Here, if the user wants to edit the e-mail address book stored in the memory unit 7, for example, in the SMS phone 1 itself, if the user sets the corresponding menu key through the keypad unit 11, the control unit 9 edits the corresponding. The screen is read from the memory unit 7 and displayed on the LCD panel 12. Then, the user of the SMS phone 1 designates the corresponding e-mail address book through the keypad 11, and accordingly, the control unit 9 reads the e-mail address book from the memory unit 7 and edits the e-mail address book editing unit 8. ). Then, when the user edits the e-mail address book or e-mail displayed on the LCD panel 12 as he or she wants, the control unit 9 processes the same through the e-mail address book editing unit 8 and stores it in the memory unit 7. .

In the meantime, if the user of the SMS phone 1 sets the corresponding function in the menu screen to edit the e-mail or the e-mail address book on the external PC 2, the control unit 9 may be configured as the memory unit 7; The e-mail address book or e-mail data located in the corresponding area is read and processed by the data signal processing unit 6 according to the Bluetooth algorithm. That is, the data signal processor 6 converts a continuous binary signal into a discontinuous data burst (BURST) form using a Bluetooth algorithm, converts the converted signal into an analog signal through FSK modulation, and then uses a Gaussian filter. Through the filter), the power density is concentrated in a specific frequency region and output to the wireless Bluetooth unit 10. Then, the wireless Bluetooth unit 10 of the SMS phone 1 modulates the inputted editing email or email address book data, and then uses the frequency hopping TDMA / TDD communication method of the Bluetooth unit of the PC 2. 13) wireless transmission.

Then, the Bluetooth unit 13 of the PC 2 demodulates the e-mail or e-mail address book data transmitted from the SMS phone 1 into a baseband signal and then passes the Gaussian filter to increase the power density. The Bluetooth unit 13 demodulates the analog e-mail or e-mail address book data into a discrete binary signal using the FSK method and extracts only the edited e-mail or e-mail address book data through the Bluetooth algorithm. 14). Then, the CPU 14 temporarily stores the edited email or email address book data demodulated by the Bluetooth unit 13 in the memory unit 16. At this time, when the user of the PC 2 edits the corresponding editing email or email address book via the keyboard 17 while looking at the monitor (not shown), the CPU 14 of the PC 2 is dedicated to editing the SMS phone accordingly. Use the editor program to create, edit and delete emails or email contacts.

On the other hand, when the editing operation is finished, the CPU 14 of the PC 2 converts the edited e-mail or e-mail address book data according to the Bluetooth algorithm into a discrete burst format data to the Bluetooth unit 13. Output The Bluetooth unit 13 converts the modified data into an analog signal through FSK modulation and concentrates the power spectral density in a specific frequency region via a Gaussian filter. In addition, the Bluetooth unit 13 modulates the edited data and transmits the frequency data to the wireless Bluetooth unit 10 of the SMS phone 1.

Then, the wireless Bluetooth unit 10 of the SMS phone 1 demodulates the data signal wirelessly transmitted from the PC 2 into a baseband signal and then passes through a Gaussian filter to increase the power density. In addition, the wireless Bluetooth unit 10 demodulates the analog signal into a discrete binary signal using an FSK demodulator, and then extracts the edited corresponding email or email address book data by applying a Bluetooth algorithm and inputs it to the controller 9.

Then, the control unit 9 of the SMS phone 1 updates previous data previously stored in the memory unit 7 using the e-mail or e-mail address book data edited by the PC 2.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the use of the SMS phone becomes more convenient since the user can edit the email or the email address book data using the keypad 2 of the SMS phone, which is inconvenient to use, without using the PC 2 which is easy to use externally. do.

In addition, according to the present invention, the email can be transmitted from the PC through the email signal processor 15 using the email address book of the SMS phone or from the SMS phone using the email address book information stored in the PC.

As described above, the present invention transmits and edits an e-mail address book and related data to a PC using a wireless Bluetooth unit built in an SMS phone, and receives the edited address book and related data again and updates the contents of the e-mail address. And since there is no need to use the keypad of the inconvenient SMS phone to enter the relevant data has the advantage to maximize the ease of use of the SMS phone accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the SMS phone can execute the SMS function using data stored in a large amount through the wireless Bluetooth unit, there is also an effect of significantly improving the functionality of the SMS phone.
