The present invention relates to a file sharing method using MMS in a mobile communication terminal. More specifically, when a terminal uploads a file to an MMS server using the MMS, the MMS server uploads the file to the SMS notification target phone number. The present invention relates to a file sharing method using MMS in a mobile communication terminal for transmitting an SMS.

Recently, various additional functions have been added or improved in addition to the main function consisting of a simple call function or a text message function along with the rapid spreading speed of the mobile communication terminal.

Additional functions of the mobile communication terminal may include a function of taking a picture, a function of listening to music, or a multimedia messaging service (MMS) function. Among these additional functions, MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a function that can send and receive video, photo, music files, and large messages. The conventional technology for the MMS function is that when a terminal uploads a large file consisting of a picture or a video to a server by using an MMS file upload function, the server registers and stores it in a specific URL. However, the file uploaded to the server can only be used by the user who uploaded the file to the server using the terminal, and users of other terminals could not access the file.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, the object of which is that when the terminal uploads a file to the MMS server using the MMS, the MMS server includes an SMS address including a URL address uploaded to the SMS notification target phone number. The present invention provides a file sharing method using MMS in a mobile communication terminal that transmits.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first step in which, when a user accesses an MMS server and registers an SMS notification target phone number, the MMS server stores it in a specific URL, and the terminal uploads a file to the MMS server using MMS. Then, the MMS server includes a second step of transmitting the SMS including the URL address to the SMS notification target phone number.

In addition, the registration of the SMS notification target phone number is preferably made using a mobile communication terminal or a PC connected to the Internet network. In addition, after the second step, pressing the specific button on the terminal receiving the SMS may further include a third step of accessing the URL address where the uploaded file is located through the terminal.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a network diagram for explaining a file sharing method using the MMS of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the network diagram of the present invention includes a user terminal 110, an MMS server 120, an SMS server 130, an internet network 140, and a user PC 150.

First, a user accesses the MMS server 120 using the user PC 150 connected to the user terminal 110 or the Internet network 140. The user terminal 110 has a built-in WAP browser (WAP Browser) for accessing the wireless Internet service, and must be connected to the mobile communication network. That is, the MMS server 120 is accessed by using the user terminal 110 or the user PC 150 connected to the Internet network in which such a function is embedded.

After accessing the MMS server 120 in this manner, the SMS notification target phone number is registered and the MMS server 120 stores it. The SMS notification target phone number at this time is a phone number of a user who wants to share the uploaded file.

When the user terminal 110 uploads a file to the MMS server 120 using the MMS while the SMS notification target phone number is stored in the MMS server 120, the MMS server 120 registers the SMS notification target phone registered by the user. Send the SMS including the URL address to which the file is uploaded through the SMS server 130 as a number.

2 is a diagram illustrating an internal structure of a mobile communication terminal for explaining a file sharing method using an MMS according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention includes an input unit 210, a display unit 220, a control unit 230, a wireless circuit unit 240, a memory unit 250, and an audio converter 260. do.

The input unit 210 may use various elements such as a keypad and a touch screen, and is used when a user selects a desired function or inputs information.

The display unit 220 displays the state and operation process of the mobile communication terminal.

The controller 230 controls the overall state and operation of the mobile communication terminal and may be formed of a microprocessor or a digital signal processor (DSP). In particular, in the present invention, the control unit 230 controls to upload the file to the MMS server using the MMS.

The wireless circuit unit 240 is a transmission / reception circuit for transmitting and receiving voice and control information with a base station wirelessly. Receives a call signal sent by the caller's mobile communication terminal through the antenna and transmits it to the control unit 230, or transmits the data stored in the memory unit 250 to the receiver's mobile communication terminal through the antenna do.

The memory unit 250 stores programs and data necessary for the operation and status of the mobile communication terminal or the control of the controller 230, and includes various types of erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), static random access memory (SRAM), and flash memory. The device can be used.

The audio converter 260 processes the voice signal of the user input through the microphone (MIC) in a form for transmitting the voice signal through the wireless circuit unit 240, and the voice signal of the call partner input through the wireless circuit unit 240. It serves to process various audio signals generated by the controller 230 as signals of a type that can be output from the speaker SPK.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a file sharing process using an MMS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a user accesses an MMS server using a user terminal 110 or a user PC 150 connected to an internet network. As such, the user may access the MMS server 120 through the user terminal 110 connected to the wireless Internet and the user through the user's PC 150 connected to the Internet. In the present invention, a method of connecting a user to the MMS server 120 is not limited to a specific method and may be implemented in any way.

When the user accesses the MMS server in this manner and registers the SMS notification target phone number (S301), the MMS server stores the SMS notification target phone number (S303).

The SMS notification target phone number is a phone number for notifying an SMS containing a URL address to which a file is uploaded. For example, the phone number of a friend who wants to share a file with you. That is, a friend who has received an SMS containing a URL address to which a file is uploaded can share a file by accessing the URL address through SMS and viewing the file or storing the file in the terminal.

When the terminal uploads the file to the MMS server using the MMS while the SMS notification target phone number is stored in the MMS server (S305), the MMS server includes a URL address where the file is uploaded to the stored SMS notification target phone number. SMS is transmitted (S307).

That is, when the terminal uploads such video, photo and large message files to the MMS server using MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), which can transmit a large amount of video, photo and large messages, the MMS server can register the SMS notification target phone number. Is to send an SMS to the URL where the file is posted.

Then, when a specific button is pressed on the terminal receiving the SMS, the terminal accesses the URL address of the uploaded file. The uploaded file may be stored by accessing the URL address where the file is uploaded through the terminal corresponding to the SMS notification target phone number.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using the Example, these Example is an illustration and is not limited. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a file sharing method using MMS in a mobile communication terminal is provided. According to the present invention, when a file is uploaded to an MMS server using an MMS, the MMS server transmits an SMS including a URL address where the file is uploaded to an SMS notification target phone number. It allows you to access and share uploaded files.
