The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, a method and a terminal for changing a terminal parameter, and more particularly, to a mobile communication system, a method and a terminal for changing a parameter of a corresponding terminal using the terminal parameter change data. .

Current mobile communication terminals have not only parameters for wireless network access but also parameters for performing many additional service functions besides basic parameters for voice call due to the overlay network structure according to the remarkable development of wireless data network technology. Inherent. For this reason, various methods for easily and simply changing various parameters of the mobile communication terminal have been proposed.

One of the methods that has been used in the past is that the terminal user directly visits the service center and connects a predetermined device for parameter change that is arranged in the service center to the terminal, thereby making relevant parameters to be changed offline. How to change.

However, such a change method not only burdens the user of the mobile communication terminal with a large cost according to the change cost, but even if the change is made through such a method, the terminal user decreases service satisfaction due to various errors that occur later. It causes a big problem.

As another method, there is a parameter change method using a keypad (KEY PAD), which also has various problems in security due to various inconveniences and personal information leakage due to parameter change of the terminal.

As a method for solving these problems, a method using an over-the-air service provisioning function (OTA) server capable of changing parameters of a corresponding terminal through a wireless data network has been proposed.

However, the terminal parameter change method using the OTA server is cumbersome to transmit the protocol change data several times due to the dependency of the wireless access protocol (DATA BURST) when transmitting the relevant data for parameter change. . In addition, a method using a wireless data network to solve such a hassle is also a form in which the corresponding data call must be maintained until message transmission and reception between the OTA server and the mobile communication terminal and parameter change according to the transmitted and received message are completed.

Therefore, there is a need for a system and a method capable of easily and inexpensively changing parameters of a terminal even offline.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve this problem, by generating the data to change the terminal parameters to transmit at a time through the data push (DATA PUSH) method, it is easy to change the parameters of the terminal even offline The present invention provides a mobile communication system, a method and a terminal for changing a parameter of a terminal using a modifiable data push method.

In addition, when changing the parameters of the terminal, the data push method that can be modified and changed by selecting the type and the number of parameters to be changed, using the user's consent or the power-up of the terminal depending on the change method Another object is to provide a mobile communication system, a method thereof, and a terminal which can be changed offline.
