AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION Innovation Patent Applicant(s): SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. Invention Title: Apparatus and method for receiving mobile message The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method for performing it known to me/us: -2 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING A MOBILE MESSAGE Related Application This application is based on and claims the benefit of the filing and priority 5 dates of the Australian designation of PCT application no. PCT/KR2011/007671 filed 14 October 2011, the content of which as filed is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field 10 The present invention relates to an apparatus for receiving a mobile message, and more particularly to a mobile message receiving device capable of effectively managing a battery. Background Art 15 Recently, with a rapid supply of mobile terminals such as smart phones, various mobile messaging services are actively being used on a wireless network. Such mobile messaging services include a basic voice call, an MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), a mobile e-mail service, a Social Network Service (SNS), an Instant Messaging Service (IMS), RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a mobile 20 advertisement, a video call, Push to Talk, Push to Video, and a conference call. Among them, the instant messaging service (IMS) is a representative mobile messaging service. The IMS refers to a service of displaying a received message on a screen of a terminal, which is being used by a the user when the user currently accesses a server, so that the user having received the message can promptly reply to the message. 25 Further, the social network service (SNS) refers to a service, which enables a human network to be configured online, and has been continuously grown while being interworked with web 2.0. The mobile messaging services combine with a mobile service through the supply of a mobile terminal such as a smart phone and thus continuously increases in 30 popularity due to the simplicity and practicality of its use. FIGs. I and 2 are views for describing an operation of a system for transmitting/receiving a conventional instant message. 331984_1 (GHMatters) P90265AU.1 28-Apr-12 -3 As shown in FIG. 1, in systems sending and receiving an instant message between mobile terminals in a wireless network environment, IM (Instant Message) client 11-1 and IM (Instant Message) server 13-1 communicate with each other and transmit/receive the instant message when a user uses an instant messaging application. 5 Specifically, when the instant message arrives, the IM server 13-1 transmits the instant message together with reply information to a push server 13-2. Then, the push server transmits an arrival notification indicating that the instant message has arrived, to a push client 11-2 in a mobile terminal. Subsequently, the push client 11-2 transmits the arrival notification to the IM client 11-1. Finally, the IM client 11-1 having received 10 the arrival notification receives the instant message having arrived from the IM server 13-1. The push client 11-2 receives the arrival notification from the push server 13-2 through an IP push. The IP push refers to a technology used in wired/wireless communication, and corresponds to a scheme which, when a user determines conditions 15 under which information will be delivered, transmits the information to the user according to the conditions. An SMS push corresponds to a scheme of transmitting information such as a short message or an advertisement by using an SMS (Short Message Service). Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, when the user does not use the instant message 20 application, the IM client 11-1 is turned off, but the push client 11-2 operating in the mobile terminal is not turned off and is always on. Accordingly, when another user sends an instant message, the push client 11-2 always receives the arrival notification for the instant message through the push server 13-2 to function to activate (or wake) the IM client 11-1. 25 Such a conventional system can respond to a mobile message such as the instant message in real time, but the system is significantly inefficient in managing a battery since the push client 11-2 is always on within the mobile terminal 11. Referring to an actual research result, when the push client 11-2 is turned on, it can be seen that a usable time of the mobile terminal is markedly reduced in comparison with a 30 case where the push client is turned off. Accordingly, in order to solve the problem with regard to the battery, many users turn off a push function by using a function of setting an instant message receiving method included in the mobile terminal 11. 3319684_1 (GHMatters) P9O265.AU1 26-Apr-2 -4 However, the function turns only the IM client off and the actual push client 11-2 remains continuously on so that an effect of the function is not significant. Summary of the Invention 5 In accordance with a first broad aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for receiving a mobile message in an IP push manner or an SMS push manner, the apparatus comprising: a module for determining one of the IP push manner and the SMS manner as a manner for receiving the mobile message; and 10 an MM client for sending an information about the manner for receiving the mobile message determined by the module to an MM server. The apparatus may further comprise an SMS client for receiving an arrival notification by a short message, when the SMS push manner is determined as the manner for receiving the mobile message. 15 The apparatus may further comprise a screen for displaying a user interface for resetting the manner for receiving the mobile message. In accordance with a second broad aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for receiving a mobile message in an IP push manner or an SMS push manner, the apparatus comprising: 20 a module for determining one of the IP push manner and the SMS manner as a method for receiving the mobile message; an MM client for sending an information about the method for receiving the mobile message determined by the module to an MM server; a push client for, when an arrival notification informing that the mobile 25 message has arrived is received, informing the MM client that the mobile message has arrived, when the IP push manner is determined as the manner for receiving the mobile message; and an SMS client for receiving the arrival notification by a short message, when the SMS push manner is determined as the manner for receiving the mobile message. 30 The apparatus may further comprise a screen for displaying a user interface for resetting the manner for receiving the mobile message. 331684.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 according to 10 an embodiment of the present invention includes a push client 31, an MM (Mobile Messaging) client 32, and an SMS client 33. The push client 31 receives an arrival notification in order to allow the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 to receive a mobile message in an IP push type. After the push client 31 receives the arrival notification indicating that the mobile message 15 has arrived from a push server, the push client 31 informs the MM client 32 that the mobile message has arrived. When the MM client 32 is off, the push client 31 activates (or wakes) the MM client 32 and then informs the MM client 32 that the mobile message has arrived. The MM client 32 receives the arrival notification of the mobile message from 20 the push client 31 and then receives the mobile message. Further, the MM client 32 relays the mobile message. That is, the MM client 32 provides a function of providing accessing user information, which shows a list of communicatable accessing users who currently access a network, and provides information for informing other accessing users that the user himself/herself is in a communicatable state. The MM client 32 25 transmits text based low capacity data. Further, the MM client 32 can generally transmit high capacity data such as a dynamic image as well as a still image and uses the IP push unlike the SMS client 33 using the SMS push. The SMS client 33 allows the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 to receive a Short Message Service (SMS). The SMS received through the SMS client 30 33 is generally provided with a reply number and message contents, and may be also provided with, for example, various additional functions such as a function of controlling a portable terminal. The SMS client 33 receives the SMS using the SMS 3319841 (GHMalters) P90265 AU.1 26-Apr-12 -7 push, and an SMS push client operates (or remains on) while always staying on within the mobile message receiving apparatus 30. FIG. 4 is a view for describing an operation of a mobile message receiving apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention. 5 As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 receives the arrival notification informing that the mobile message has arrived from an outside push server. A method of receiving the arrival notification by the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 includes a method using the IP push and a method using the SMS push. First, when the push client 31 is on, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 receives 10 the arrival notification through the IP push. Then, the push client 31 informs the MM client 32 that the mobile message has arrived. At this time, if the user turns off the MM client 32, the push client 31 activates (or wakes) the MM client 32 and then informs the MM client 32 that the mobile message has arrived. If the user of the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 is turned off the push 15 client 31 in order to reduce a battery consumption, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 receives the arrival notification of the mobile message through the SMS client 33 by using the SMS push. FIGs. 5 and 6 are views illustrating embodiments of operations in which the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 receives the mobile message after the SMS 20 client 33 receives the arrival notification of the mobile message in embodiments of FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 5, the SMS client 33 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives the arrival notification of the mobile message, activates (or wakes) the MM client 32, and then informs the MM client 32 that the mobile message 25 has arrived. Then, the MM client 32 receives the mobile message. As shown in FIG. 6, the SMS client 33 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives the arrival notification of the mobile message, and then directly receives the mobile message. In this case, the mobile message is converted into an SMS type (e.g. a text included in the mobile message is converted to the SMS 30 type) and the SMS client 33 receives the converted mobile message. FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a construction of the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3319884_1(GHMatters) P90265.AU.1 26-Apr-12 -8 As shown in FIG. 7, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a module 34 for setting a receiving method through which one client to receive the arrival notification of the mobile message is selected from the SMS client 33 and the push client 31. 5 The user can identify the setting for the module 34 through a display installed in the mobile message receiving apparatus 30. Further, the user can set the mobile message arrival notification receiving method by directly controlling the module 34 through an input unit such as a touch screen or a keypad installed in the mobile message receiving apparatus 30, or controlling the module 34 by using wired/wireless 10 communication through another mobile terminal. Accordingly, the user can easily change the setting of the mobile message arrival notification receiving method from the IP push to the SMS push or from the SMS push to the IP push through an interface such as the display and the input unit. Further, the module 34 can automatically set the mobile message arrival 15 notification receiving method. For example, when the user moves from an environment where wireless internet communication is possible to an environment where wireless internet communication is impossible, the receiving method may be automatically set from the IP push to the SMS push. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the module 34 20 sets such that the arrival notification is received by the SMS client 33, the push client 31 and the MM client 21 are turned off. Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the setting is changed from a state where the arrival notification is received by the SMS client 33 to a state where the arrival notification is received by the push client 31, the push client 25 31 is automatically turned on. Subsequently, when the push client 31 receives the arrival notification, the push client 31 activates (or wakes) the MM client 32 and allows the MM client 32 to receive the instant message. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating each step of a mobile message arrival notification receiving method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 30 In step S81 of setting the receiving method of FIG. 8, the mobile message receiving apparatus sets one client to receive the arrival notification of the mobile message from the push server among the SMS client 33 and the push client 31 within 331984_1 (GHMatters) P9026S.AU.1 26-Apr-12 -9 the mobile message receiving apparatus 30.

In step S83 of receiving the mobile message, the mobile message receiving apparatus 30 5 receives the mobile message according to the received arrival notification. According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S81 of setting the receiving method, when the module 34 sets such that the arrival notification is received by the SMS client 33, the push client 31 and the MM client 32 are turned off. FIGs. 9 and 10 are flowcharts illustrating steps from step S81 of setting the 10 receiving method to the step of receiving the mobile message in embodiments of FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 9, the mobile message arrival notification receiving method according to an embodiment of the present invention sets a method of receiving the arrival notification of the mobile message and then determines a type of the set receiving method in step S92. 15 As a result of the determination of step S92, when the receiving method is set such that the push client (IP push manner) receives the arrival notification, the push client 31 receives the arrival notification, proceeds to step S93, and then determines whether the MM client 33 is on. As a result of the determination of step S93, when the MM client 33 is on, the push client 31 transmits the arrival notification to the MM 20 client 33 and allows the MM client 33 to receive the mobile message. As a result of the determination of step S93, when the MM client 33 is off, the push client 31 activates (or wakes) the MM client 33 S93-1, transmits the arrival notification to the MM client 33 S94, and allows the MM client 33 to receive the mobile message S95. As a result of the determination of step S92, when the receiving method is set 25 such that the SMS client (SMS push manner) receives the arrival notification, the SMS client 33 proceeds to step S92-1 and receives the arrival notification. Then, in step S93-1, the SMS client 33 activates (or wakes) the MM client 33, proceeds to step S94, and transmits the arrival notification to the MM client 33. Subsequently, the MM client 33 receives the mobile message in step S95. 30 As shown in FIG. 10, the mobile message arrival notification receiving method according to an embodiment of the present invention sets a method of receiving the arrival notification of the mobile message and then determines a type of the set 3319684_1 (GHMstters) P90265.AU.1 26-Apr-12 -10 receiving method in step S 102. As a result of the determination of step S102, when the receiving method is set such that the push client (IP push manner) receives the arrival notification, the push client 31 receives the arrival notification, proceeds to step S103, and then determines 5 whether the MM client 33 is on. As a result of the determination of step S103, when the MM client 33 is on, the push client 31 transmits the arrival notification to the MM client 33 S104 and allows the MM client 33 to receive the mobile message S105. As a result of the determination of step S103, when the MM client 33 is off, the push client 31 activates (or wakes) the MM client 33 S103-1, transmits the arrival notification to 10 the MM client 33 S104, and allows the MM client 33 to receive the mobile message S105. As a result of the determination of step S102, when the receiving method is set such that the SMS client (SMS push manner) receives the arrival notification, the SMS client 33 proceeds to step S102-1 and receives the arrival notification. Then, in step 15 S102-2, the SMS client 33 receives the mobile message. In this case, the mobile message is converted to an SMS type (e.g. a text included in the mobile message is converted to the SMS type) and the SMS client 33 receives the converted mobile message. FIGs. I1 and 12 are views illustrating mobile message transmitting/receiving 20 systems according to embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the mobile message transmitting/receiving system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the mobile message receiving apparatus 11l, the MM (Mobile Messaging) server 112, the push server 113, and an SMS center 114. The mobile message receiving apparatus 111 includes the 25 SMS client 111-1, the MM client 111-2, and the push client 111-3. The SMS client 111-1 allows the mobile message receiving apparatus to receive a short message service. The SMS client 111-1 is generally provided with a reply number and message contents and may be provided with various additional functions such as a function of controlling the mobile message receiving apparatus Ill 30 as well. The SMS client 111-1 receives an SMS from the SMS center 114 by using the SMS push, and an SMS push client operates (or is on) while always staying on within the mobile message receiving apparatus 111. 331984_1 (GHMatters) P90265.AU.1 26-Apr-12 - II The MM client 111-2 receives the arrival notification of the mobile message from the push client 111-3 and then receives the mobile message. The MM client 111 2 provides a function of providing accessing user information, which shows a list of communicatable assessing users who currently access a network, and provides 5 information for informing other accessing users that the user himself/herself is in a communicatable state. The MM client 111-2 transmits text based low capacity data. Further, the MM client 111-2 can generally transmit high capacity data such as a dynamic image as well as a still image and uses the IP push unlike the SMS client 111-1 using the SMS push. The MM client 111-2 transmits information on the set mobile 10 message arrival notification receiving method to the MM server 112. The MM server 112 having received the receiving method transmits the information on the receiving method to the push server 113 to enable the arrival notification in accord with the set receiving method to be transmitted to the SMS client 111-1 and the push client 111-3. The push client 111-3 receives the arrival notification in order to enable the 15 mobile message receiving apparatus to receive the mobile message in the IP push manner. After the push client 111-3 receives the arrival notification informing that the mobile message has arrived from the push server, the push client 111-3 informs the MM client 111-2 that the mobile message has arrived. When the MM client 111-2 is off, the push client 111-3 activates (or wakes) the MM client 111-2 and then informs the 20 MM client 111-2 that the mobile message has arrived. The MM server 112 receives the mobile message, and adds up destination information and the information on the receiving method received from the MM client 111-2 to transmit the added information to the push server 113. The push server 113 selects one from the SMS push and the IP push based on 25 the information on the receiving method received from the MM server 112 and accordingly transmits the arrival notification. The SMS center 114 transmits an SMS message in a mobile communication network. The SMS center 114 includes a function of sending a message to a receiving terminal, a function of resending a message in sending the message, and a function of 30 processing additional services of other text messages. In an embodiment of the present invention, the SMS center 114 can not only transfer a short message service transmitted to a user to the SMS client 111-1 but also convert a mobile message 3319684_1 (GHMatters) P90265.AU. 1 26-Apr-12 - 12 transmitted to the user to an SMS to transmit the converted mobile message to the SMS client 111-1 when the push client 111-3 is off. As shown in FIG. 12, the mobile message transmitting/receiving system according to an embodiment of the present may further include a module 111-4 within 5 the mobile message receiving apparatus 111. The module 111-4 sets the receiving method of determining one client to receive the arrival notification of the mobile message from the push server among the SMS client 111-1 and the push client 111-3. The user can identify the setting for the module 111-4 through a display installed in the mobile message receiving apparatus. Further, the user can set the 10 mobile message arrival notification receiving method by directly controlling the module 111-4 through an input unit such as a touch screen or a keypad installed in the mobile message receiving apparatus, or controlling the module 111-4 by using wired/wireless communication through another mobile terminal. Accordingly, the user can easily change the setting of the mobile message arrival notification receiving method from the 15 IP push (through the IP client) to the SMS push or from the SMS push (through the SMS client) to the IP push through an interface such as the display and the input unit. Further, the module 111-4 can automatically set the mobile message arrival notification receiving method. For example, when the user moves from an environment where wireless internet communication is possible to an environment 20 where wireless internet communication is impossible, the receiving method may be automatically set from the IP push to the SMS push. In embodiments according to FIGs. 11 and 12, the SMS client 111-1 receives the mobile message arrival notification and activates (or wakes) the MM client 111-2. Then, the SMS client 111-1 informs the MM client 111-2 that the mobile message has 25 arrived and allows the MM client 111-2 to receive the mobile message. Further, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the SMS client 111-1 can directly receive the mobile message after receiving the mobile message arrival notification. In this case, the mobile message is converted to an SMS type (e.g. a text included in the mobile message is converted to the SMS type) in the SMS center 30 114 and the SMS client 111-1 receives the converted mobile message. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the module 111-4 sets such that the arrival notification is received by the SMS client 111-1, the push 319684_1 (GHMatters) P90265.AU.1 26-Apr-12 - 13 client 111-3 and the MM client 111-2 are turned off. Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the setting is changed from a state where the arrival notification is received by the SMS client 111 I to a state where the arrival notification is received by the push client 111-3, the push 5 client 111-3 is automatically turned on. Subsequently, when the push client 111-3 receives the arrival notification, the push client 111-3 activates (or wakes) the MM client 111-2 and allows the MM client 111-2 to receive the instant message. FIGs. 13 to 16 are views for describing operations of the mobile message receiving apparatus and the mobile message transmitting/receiving system. 10 As shown in FIG. 13, the mobile message receiving apparatus provides a menu of setting one push to receive the arrival notification of the mobile message among the IP push 131 and the SMS push 132 through a display installed in the mobile message receiving apparatus. A service including the mobile message includes a basic voice call, an MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), a mobile e-mail service, a Social 15 Network Service (SNS), an Instant Messaging Service (IMS), RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a mobile advertisement, a video call, Push to Talk, Push to Video, and a conference call. When the IP push is used, the user can freely transmit/receive the mobile message to/from another party's user through a wireless internet environment regardless 20 of a service of a communication service provider. However, there is a problem in that battery life is reduced owing to the power consumption due to the push client always being on. When the SMS push is used to address this problem, the problem of the reduction of the battery life may be reduced as the conventional SMS client is used. However, in this case, contents included in the mobile message or the arrival 25 notification of the mobile message should be transmitted to the mobile message receiving apparatus of the user after being converted to an SMS so that an additional service by the communication service provider is required and the user has to pay costs for the additional service. Accordingly, the user can set a proper receiving method in consideration of a used amount of the battery and a service cost paid to the 30 communication service provider. When the user sets the receiving method, information on the receiving method is transmitted to the MM server. Then, when the mobile message has arrived, the MM 331984.1 (GHMatters) P90265.AU-1 26-Apr-12 -14 server transmits the arrived mobile message together with the information on the receiving method to the push server. The push server transmits the arrival notification of the mobile message to the SMS center or the push client according to the set receiving method. When the arrival notification is transmitted to the SMS center, the 5 mobile message is converted to an SMS type and then may be transmitted to the SMS client. FIG. 14 illustrates an example in which the arrival notification is displayed when the mobile message has arrived in a case where the user sets the SMS push as the mobile message arrival notification receiving method. That is, the user can identify an 10 indication, which informs that one mobile message has arrived, in a tab of a message 141 positioned at a lower end of a display of the mobile message receiving apparatus. The user can read the arrived mobile message by performing an action such as pressing or touching the arrived message tab. FIG. 15 illustrates a screen through which a arrived mobile message 151 my be 15 identified in a text based SMS type. The mobile message has been received by setting the SMS push as the receiving method and a popup menu window through which the arrival notification receiving method can be changed is generated by selecting a "setting" 152 tab positioned at an upper end of the display. As shown in FIG. 16, the user can reset the receiving method to the IP push 161 in the popup menu window. 20 Information on the receiving method reset to the IP push is transmitted to the MM server and then is used in transmitting the arrival notification when the mobile message is received. As described above, the present invention allows the user to select the IP push manner (push client is turned on) or the SMS push manner (push client is turned off) 25 according to a user's intention and the mobile message to be transmitted and received even after the push client is turned off in a system supporting a mobile message transmission/reception between mobile terminals in a wireless network environment like the conventional mobile message service. Accordingly, the present invention has an advantage in that it is possible to 30 reduce excessive consumption of a battery caused by the push client operated while always staying on in the system (in a conventional mobile message system), while satisfying user demand for a basic mobile message service. 3319684_1 (GHMatters) P90265.AU.1 26-Apr-12 - 15 While the detailed description of the present invention has described certain exemplary embodiments such as a portable terminal, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. 5 In the claims that follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise owing to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" is used in an inclusive sense, that is, to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the 10 invention.
