First, a user requests and registers an information service (eg, stock information, traffic level, etc.) desired by a mobile communication provider (S1).

The mobile communication service provider collectively receives a text message (SMS) for the latest information received and stored externally in a database of a server (not shown), for example, exchange rate information, securities information, and traffic information, to a terminal of a subscriber who applied for information service. Send by

When the mobile communication terminal receives the text message about the transmitted latest information service (S2), the user is notified by a ring tone or vibration received, and the user opens a folder cover of the mobile communication terminal and checks the received latest information message ( S3).

Then, the confirmed text message is stored or deleted in the terminal (S4).

However, in order to check the text message for the information service received by the conventional mobile communication terminal as described above, there is a troublesome problem of opening the folder cover and checking the contents of the received text message.

In addition, since the received text message is opened by the folder cover, when the user needs to check the information service applied in real time, there is a problem that the user may be disadvantaged by missing the latest information.

Therefore, in view of the above problem, the present invention determines whether the text message received from the mobile communication terminal is a text message for the information service requested by the user, and displays the text message for the information service on the external display unit so that the user receives the text message. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of outputting a text message of a mobile communication terminal, which can eliminate the trouble of opening a folder cover to check a text message, and can quickly check the text message.
