Abstract

According to the present invention, when the SMS transmission server (SMSC) receives a text message sent by a caller subscribed to the service and transmits the text message to a receiving mobile phone with a predetermined program pre-installed, the SMS caller's mobile phone number and the text of the SMS sender are displayed in the received SMS text message. Connect the signal that means for SMS for service and transmit it first, and if necessary (if a predetermined program is not installed in the receiving mobile phone), the text message also connects the predetermined program necessary for the execution of the present invention. To transmit. Subsequently, when the mobile phone is operated to read a text message on the receiving mobile phone, the predetermined program is operated on the receiving mobile phone to transmit a calling number (SMS call number) connected to the text message to be read and a signal of requesting content transmission. Send to the sending server. Accordingly, the content delivery server later transmits the preset content by the text message sender to the receiving mobile phone to be played in real time or in a streaming manner on the receiving mobile phone, so as to read the SMS on the SMS receiving mobile phone as the SMS text message background content. Will be played. In the configuration of the present invention, the content set by the caller may be configured to be used in common with the caller tone replacement content of the existing caller or the content of the existing caller of another service. In addition, in the configuration of the present invention, the reproduction of the sound can be stopped by the operation of the mobile phone of the receiver.

Description

Method and system for realizing SMS text message background content {omitted}

The primary object of the present invention is to provide that when the SMS text message exchange between ordinary individuals of the mobile phone, the content selected by the caller (sound and / or video), or the caller's existing call connection drinking alternative content is used in common. The present invention provides a method and a system in which a caller's existing call connection drink alternative content is played on a receiver's mobile phone while the recipient's mobile phone receives an SMS text message sent by the sender while the receiver reads the message. .

Prior art in this field finds words that suggest specific information (eg love, miss, likes, etc.) among words included in SMS text message content sent by the sender, and is suitable for the content of the message (background image). And background music), the service server determines and selects, combines the selected content with a text message sent by the sender, and if necessary, changes the font to a new font (by changing it to MMS) to receive MMS (Multimedia Message Service). If the receiving mobile phone is a mobile phone without the MMS receiving function, or if the receiving mobile phone is a mobile phone without the MMS receiving function, the text message combined with the MMS background content is stored in a server on the service provider's web, and the receiving mobile phone side contains the content. Sends a web site URL that stores a combined text message (MMS), and uses the URL New mobile phones are being run in a way to connect to wireless Internet to transmit multimedia messages to receive confirmation. The advantage of the conventional method is that it can transmit a text message with a large number of words (about 1000 characters) and a text message with multimedia such as pictures, videos, and music. Was not known whether it was actually sent to the receiver mobile phone side. That is, the prior art has the disadvantage that the caller has no choice about the background content. Therefore, there was a drawback in failing to meet the needs of consumers who want to decorate their own personalized text message. In order to solve this problem, a technique for allowing a user to preselect content is proposed in Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0091287, but this technology also basically converts an SMS short text message into an MMS multimedia message and stores it in a server on the web. After that, the receiving cell phone was transmitted through the wireless Internet, so the wireless Internet access fee and the data transmission fee were excessive, and the users did not use it because of the economic burden. In addition, the above-described prior art has a disadvantage in that the receiver should be an MMS-only phone, or if the receiver is not a dedicated phone, a wireless internet access fee is charged to the receiver. In addition, since MMS text messages are stored in a server on the web, a communication fee is spent every time since a user must access the wireless Internet every time he / she sees a received text message. In order to solve this problem, it is possible to store the background content together with the text message in the memory of the receiving mobile phone. However, in this case, the file size of the background content is too large, which causes a lack of memory for storing the text message of the mobile phone.

The conventional SMS short text message is a text-based short text message of about 50 characters (about 80 bytes), which is one of the communication services most used by current users, and almost all of them are showing more calls than current phone calls. Mobile phone users love to use it. In addition, SMS text messaging is a standard feature of all mobile phones so that it can be done without a specific phone.

Therefore, it is possible to use a specific mobile phone (MMS-only phone), use the wireless Internet, and also have a high fee (currently 30 won for one SMS and 130 won for one MMS). There were disadvantages inadequate for this use.

Modern people have a desire to express themselves differently from others in various ways in using mobile phones, but SMS text messaging can satisfy the needs of these callers, but it is cheaper to use and certain mobile phones (MMS-only phones, wireless Internet). A method and system for realizing a caller-directed SMS text message (SMS background content), which is also possible in all general mobile phones, but not general mobile phones, has not been proposed other than the conventional method having the above disadvantages.

According to the present invention, the content selected by the caller or alternatively the caller's existing call ring tone content is transmitted to the text message receiving mobile phone to be reproduced as text message background content, but the SMS text message is first transmitted to the receiving mobile phone. By sending the background content to the receiving cellular phone lately by an operation signal for checking a text message, the background content is reproduced in real time or in a streaming manner, so that the receiving cellular phone is not connected to the wireless Internet and does not cause the memory of the receiving cellular phone to be executed. The present invention proposes a method and system for realizing SMS text message background contents that can be realized in a general mobile phone by installing a predetermined program in all mobile phones.

[Configuration]

The present invention consists of a system as shown in FIG.

That is, the present system has a "service member information DB" which stores the information of those who have subscribed to the service of the present invention, and also selects the mobile phone number of each member and each member separately for the service or is shared with the service. It has a "mobile number-content DB" that stores contents already selected for other existing communication services to be used as a service, and a "content delivery server" having a function of transmitting a predetermined content by the calling party to the SMS text message receiver. It also has a "calling number-receiving number-text message DB" function of storing the SMS text message sent by the caller to the calling number and the receiving number, and also sends the SMS text message sent by the caller to the receiving number of the mobile phone. If the calling number is the number subscribed to the service, send the calling number and the service to the received SMS. "SMS text message transmission server (SMSC)" of the function of connecting a signal which means that the number is transmitted to the mobile phone side, and also a "content sales (service) server" that sells content on the wired and wireless Internet, and on the wired and wireless internet "Service member subscription server" that performs member registration to the service, and "member communication terminal (PC, mobile phone)" of the function to register and select content through the wired and wireless Internet network is configured connected to the wired and wireless Internet network, In addition, a "sender's mobile phone" for sending SMS text messages, a "sender's mobile phone" for receiving SMS text messages sent by the sender, an "exchange server" for executing call connections, a mobile communication network, an Internet network, and SMS text It consists of a "predetermined program" that is coupled to a message and sent to the receiving cell phone.

The predetermined program is operated by a mobile phone operation to view a message on a receiving mobile phone, and automatically transmits a signal indicating a request for transmission of a calling number and content connected to an SMS text message to be read from the receiving mobile phone to the content delivery server. Do it. The "mobile phone number-content DB" can also be used in common with the ring tone replacement content. In the above configuration, the SMS transmission server SMSC becomes an LMSC (long sentence message transmission server) when transmitting a long sentence message.

The execution method of the present invention on such a system operates as shown in FIG. 2 and described in detail according to the embodiment as follows.

Example 1.

In this embodiment, the SMS text message is first transmitted to the receiving cellular phone, and the content previously selected (set) by the sender is later transmitted to the receiving cellular phone at the moment the receiver operates the mobile phone to read the SMS text message transmitted by the sender. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a streaming playback method or a real time playback method is provided. This embodiment implementation method is as follows.

The sender signing up for the service and selecting content; Accordingly, the content delivery server stores the member information (mobile phone number) of the members in its " service member information DB " by the notification of the content seller and the service member subscription server, and the content information selected by the member is Storing in the "phone number-content DB"; Sending an SMS text message to a cellular phone of a receiving number in which the predetermined program is installed by inputting an SMS text message to a cellular phone of a subscriber; Accordingly, the "exchange server" receives the calling number, the receiving number, SMS text message information, and transmits the stored SMS text message information to the "SMS text message transmission server". Accordingly, the "SMS text message transmission server" inquiring whether the number of sending the SMS and the reception number to which the SMS is transmitted is sent to the "content transmission server" and inquiring whether it is a member registration number. The transmission server " searches whether the calling number is a telephone number subscribed to the service using its " service member information DB " and if the number is subscribed to a member, notifying the fact to the " SMS transmission server " Accordingly, the "SMS transmission server" receives the SMS text message of the received calling number by connecting the calling number that sent the SMS, and also by connecting a signal indicating that the SMS text message is a text message for the service. Transmitting the received SMS text message to a mobile phone, if the predetermined program is not pre-installed on a receiving mobile phone If the predetermined program is additionally connected to the SMS text message and transmitted to a receiving mobile phone, storing the SMS in the receiving mobile phone and installing the predetermined program; A receiver presses a specific button of a mobile phone or operates a mobile phone (such as opening or sliding a fold) to read the received SMS text message; Accordingly, the predetermined program pre-installed or received by the receiving mobile phone operates to transmit a caller's phone number and content signal attached to the SMS text message to be read, and a mobile phone number (content transmission). Transmitting the request signal to the " content transfer server " Accordingly, the "content delivery server" searches for and finds the "mobile phone number-content DB" stored contents related to the calling number received from the mobile terminal: the contents of the found mobile phone number (calling number). Sending an SMS later than an SMS text message to an SMS receiving number mobile phone (mobile phone which sent a content transmission request signal) in a process of reading an SMS; Accordingly, when the SMS receiver reads the SMS text message, the received content is reproduced as an SMS text message background content on an SMS receiving mobile phone in real time or in a streaming manner. If you press a specific button on the mobile phone or any button on the mobile phone before or during reading, the playback of the audio content stops immediately, if the receiving mobile phone is set to vibrate mode, the audio content is not played. When the content is selected by designating a specific reception number, one or more steps of providing the caller-directed content set to the designated reception number are further included.

In the method of realizing the present invention, when the content transmission server transmits the content to the SMS-receiving cellular phone, the acoustic content is directly transmitted to the SMS-receiving cellular phone in a manner that does not use the wireless Internet, and the video content having a large data capacity is transmitted on the web. After storing the image content in the server and transmits the URL stored the image content to the SMS receiving mobile phone (mobile phone that sent a signal for requesting the content transmission), the video content can be transmitted through the wireless Internet using the URL to be played. .

In the above configuration, when the sender enters the SMS text message of the present invention to the mobile phone, it may be configured to display a text message for the present invention by attaching a specific symbol or text to the received number. In this case, the text message transmission server may be configured to determine whether a specific text or symbol is attached to a received number, whether it is an existing simple SMS text message or whether the background content for the present invention is a serviced SMS text message. .

[Action]

The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 by taking an example in which a content is composed of only acoustic content.

Recipients who receive their SMS text messages Receive the audio content of their choice Selected content to be reproduced as the text message background content of the mobile phone The user who wants to play the present invention service subscription server on the wired / wireless Internet using a PC or a wireless internet enabled mobile phone. He connects and registers, and then he connects to a sound content sales (service) server and selects his desired content. If the content is paid, of course, it is purchased through a known payment act. In addition, if you want to use your existing call connection sound or other service background sound for this service in common, you can connect it to the relevant site of the mobile carrier or other service site connected to the service provider, and then use this text message background. We apply for public use as contents. Then, the service member subscription server transmits the mobile phone number information of the subscribed member to the content delivery server. In addition, the content selling server also transmits the sold content information and the purchaser's mobile phone number to the content delivery server. In addition, when the user intends to use his or her other service background sound as a sound for the service, another service site server also transmits the content and the mobile phone number selected by the applicant to the content delivery server. Accordingly, the content delivery server stores the mobile phone number of the member in its service member information DB, and stores the acoustic content of the member by connecting to the mobile phone number of the member in its caller-content DB. In addition, a predetermined program is installed in the mobile phone of the user in the manufacturing stage or through a separate file download event. The operation process after the preparation steps described above is as follows.

When a caller who subscribes to the service transmits an SMS text message to the receiving number mobile phone side where the predetermined program is installed, the exchange server transmits and stores the calling number-receiving number-text message data to the SMS text message transmission server (SMSC). Let's do it. Subsequently, the SMS text message transmission server transmits the calling number to the content delivery server and inquires whether it is a subscribed number, and accordingly, the content sending server uses the service member information DB of the service member to receive the notification. Search for the number subscribed to the service. If it is a calling party number registered with the member, the fact is notified to the SMS text message transmission server side. Accordingly, the SMS text message transmission server transmits and stores an SMS text message connecting the caller's number and a signal indicating the SMS for the present service to an SMS text message transmitted by the sender (sender) to the receiving cellular phone. If a predetermined program (a program having a function of causing a receiver to transmit a caller number and a content transmission request signal connected to a corresponding text message by a receiver to read a text message) is pre-installed on a receiving cellular phone. If not configured, the predetermined program is also connected to the text message with the calling number and is transmitted to and stored in the receiving mobile phone. Subsequently, the receiving cellular phone receives and stores the received text message, and the existing text message incoming signal (incoming sound and incoming screen) is activated to notify the recipient of the arrival of the SMS text message. Thus, when the recipient operates the mobile phone to read SMS text messages (e.g., opens the phone's fold, slides the mobile phone, or presses a certain button), the predetermined program installed in the recipient's mobile phone is activated. To confirm whether the SMS text message to be read is an SMS containing a signal indicating that the service is used, and if it is confirmed that the SMS for this service, the calling number (SMS) connected to the SMS to be read immediately Mobile phone number) and a signal for requesting content transmission to the content delivery server. At this time, the mobile phone number, which is a text message receiver, is transmitted together as a mobile phone call number (mobile phone number that transmits a content transmission request signal) that sends a content transmission request signal. The automatic transmission of the content transmission request signal from the SMS receiving cellular phone is performed by the predetermined program installed in the receiving cellular phone. The predetermined program is installed by being connected to a text message and transmitted, or the receiving mobile phone is downloaded and installed in advance from a communication company, or is pre-installed in the mobile phone manufacturing step. In the future, if the predetermined program is installed in the mobile phone by the mobile phone manufacturer at the time of manufacture of the mobile phone, only the caller's number and a signal indicating that the service is used are combined with the SMS text message, and the predetermined program is not combined. Will be sent in the state.

According to the above, the content transmission server is a mobile phone number for transmitting the call number (cell phone number of the sender of the text message) and the meaning of the request for content transmission and the received mobile phone number (content requesting the content transmission) received the text message. Caller's number), and accordingly, the content delivery server finds the content of the caller number stored in the caller's number-content DB connected to the caller's number (SMS caller's mobile number), and then receives the text message. (Mobile phone number requesting the content transmission) The mobile phone side transmits the contents of the caller number found above (set in advance by the calling party number). Accordingly, in the mobile phone receiving the text message (mobile phone requesting the content transmission), the received content is reproduced in real time or in a streaming manner. If the content consists only of sound, it is played as background sound while the recipient reads the SMS text message on the receiving cellular phone.

Existing SMS text messages are displayed on the side of the screen with "Delete", "Reply", "Save", and "Reply Number" when displayed on the incoming phone screen. In the present invention, in addition to the conventional display, a display of "stop" is also displayed so that the receiver can select it, or by pressing a specific button or any button on the mobile phone, immediately before the music is played or the music being played is immediately stopped. It can also be configured. This music stop function is useful when the recipient wishes to check the text message of the present invention in an environment where the receiver must remain silent.

By the above process, only the received SMS text message is stored in the memory of the SMS-received mobile phone, and the SMS text message background content files having a large file size are not stored at all. Accordingly, the storage capacity of the SMS text message memory of the receiving mobile phone is unchanged as compared with the conventional one. If the mobile phone memory capacity is very large, there is no reason not to store the received content as a matter of course.

The technology of transmitting a content file to a mobile phone and playing it in a streaming method or a real time method is already widely used. Such a real time playing or streaming method of playing technology is mainly used for transmitting MOD (Music On Demand) music. It is a known technique in which a receiving cellular phone does not need to access a wireless Internet for which a separate communication cost is paid. In particular, if the content is acoustic, the real-time or streaming transmission and reproducing technique is a technique used to be applied to conventional call-connected sound transmission and reproduction. B system can also be used in common for the SMS text message background sound of the present invention has the advantage that no additional investment costs.

As described above, in the present invention, the SMS text message sent by the sender is first transmitted to the receiving mobile phone and stored, and later, when the receiver attempts to read the message stored in his mobile phone, the background content is transmitted and played later. There is a characteristic. If, in the future, according to the development of the communication network technology to transmit the image to the receiving cell phone without the wireless Internet, the text message background content of the present invention may also include the image in addition to the sound.

In addition, in the configuration of the present invention, the content may also be applied to a technology that allows the content of the text message caller preset and the caller's voice message provided by the caller in advance to the mobile phone to be transmitted to the receiving cell phone. Of course.

In addition, the user may set the content provided only to a specific reception number at the time of setting the content, and accordingly, a technology of finding and transmitting content provided only to the SMS reception number may be applied together.

If the content of the present invention is configured to transmit and play the audio content without using the wireless Internet, and the video content is configured to be transmitted and played using the wireless Internet video content even if the SMS mobile phone without a wireless Internet function Even if it cannot be received, the acoustic content can be reproduced as SMS text message background content. In this case, the acoustic content of the content is transmitted and reproduced by the above-described method, and the video content is an SMS-received mobile phone (content transmission) after the content delivery server stores the content in a server on the web and stores the content as in the prior art. To the requesting mobile phone) to receive and play the video content through the wireless Internet using this.

The present invention has the effect that the calling mobile phone and the receiving mobile phone can be reproduced as the text message background content in the mobile phone of the caller who received the caller's text message even without access to the wireless Internet. In addition, the present invention has an effect that does not reduce the text message storage capacity of the mobile phone because the received content is not continuously stored in the memory. In addition, the present invention has the effect that the caller's existing call ring tone replacement content can be used in common as the text message background content of the present invention by the caller's selection if necessary.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that allows the caller to select whether to send a text message that is provided with the background content or a text message that is not provided with the background content. In addition, when the sound is included in the content of the present invention, the existing call connection sound providing facilities and systems may be used in common, thereby reducing the facility investment of the mobile communication company.
