Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is preferably applied to, for example, a portable communication terminal equipped with a display device capable of displaying images and character information (hereinafter simply referred to as "terminal"). And a data registration device and a communication terminal. For details, remote registration of image data, etc. to the other terminal without the need for operation of the other terminal, acquisition of information on the text mail standard supported by the other terminal, and the information The present invention relates to a data registration method, a data registration device, and a communication terminal to be registered in a communication terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, it has become common for portable communication terminals such as portable telephones to include a high-definition display device (generally, a liquid crystal display) capable of displaying an image. Based on the progress of wear, in the above terminal, for example, by registering image data such as a face photograph in an address book (or also referred to as a “phone book”), information mainly composed of characters such as a telephone number and a name is registered. In addition to the traditional information management, the trend is to adopt intuitive and easy-to-understand information management that can display images and appeal to visual effects.

A specific example will be described. In general, a mobile phone has a data area for registering character information such as a telephone number (registration number of a terminal) and a name of a called party, and further has a data area for registering its own information. These data areas are usually constituted by a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device such as a flash memory. For convenience, the former data area will be referred to as an "address book" and the latter data area will be referred to as a "self-introduction data area." It is registered, and in the self-introduction data area,
The registration number of the mobile phone (information registered as a default value when the mobile phone is purchased) and the user name are registered. Recently, by registering image data such as a face photograph in the address book, Information management has been performed so that a caller can be visually confirmed and a mistake in making a call can be prevented.

[0004]

(1) However, when image data such as a face photograph is registered in the address book and the image data is displayed, it is possible to prevent a mistake in making a telephone call. Although it is useful in that point, the registration work of the image data is troublesome, and there is a technical problem to be improved in terms of usability. In other words, to register image data such as a face photo in the address book, ask the other party to transmit face photo data and register the image data in their own mobile phone, or use a digital camera or the like to It is necessary to take a photograph of the person's face and register the image data in his / her own mobile phone, which is troublesome and troublesome.

(2) In recent years, many mobile phones have not only a voice call but also a function of transmitting and receiving short messages such as text mail (hereinafter, simply referred to as “mail function”). With mobile phones equipped with an e-mail function, information can be transmitted in the form of characters,
Not only is it possible to eliminate the disadvantages of information transmission by voice (mistake), but also to obtain the convenience that the other party can check the information when it is convenient, which is not possible with voice communication.

However, the standard of the mail function (such as the transmission / reception protocol and the types of characters that can be handled or the number of characters) varies depending on the mobile phone service company (hereinafter referred to as "telephone company") (for example, C-mail, E-mail, etc.).
Standards abbreviated as mail, α-mail, and the like are known. ), And of course, normal information transmission between mail functions having different standards is not guaranteed, so that mail transmission partners are limited to users who have mobile phones having the same mail function.

[0007] Here, the behavior of the user who intends to use the mail function is verified. As described above, since the mail function of the mobile phone has different standards for each telephone company and cannot transmit normal information unless the standards are the same, the user first needs to use the mobile phone (own terminal) owned by the user. Understand the standard of the mail function of. Next, the user:
The mail standard of the other terminal, such as an acquaintance, is grasped from the model and model number of the mobile phone (other terminal) of another user who may transmit the mail. Then, it is understood that mail transmission is possible between the own terminal and a user who owns another terminal that supports the same mail standard, and thereafter, the mail is appropriately exchanged with this user. Become.

[0008] However, such artificial grasp is inaccurate and has a drawback that it is not possible to immediately respond to a model change of a portable telephone owned by another user (particularly a model change to a different telephone company). In other words, it is not only unavoidable to grasp the wrong e-mail function due to misunderstanding of the model and model number of the other terminal, but also when a certain user changes the model to a mobile phone of the same telephone company as his / her own terminal or of a telephone company different from his / her own terminal. There is a disadvantage that it is not possible to immediately grasp the case such as when the model is changed to a mobile phone, and therefore, the transmission of mail to a certain user suddenly becomes impossible, or the transmission of mail to a certain user becomes impossible. Even though it is possible, there is a problem that the user cannot use the troublesome mail function with the user without knowing the fact.

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to register required data such as image data in the terminal of the other party without requiring operation of the terminal of the other party, or to support the terminal of the other party. The present invention provides a data registration method and a data registration device which can acquire information on a mail standard and register the information in a telephone directory or the like of its own terminal. An object is to improve the usability of a portable communication terminal such as a telephone.

FIG. 3 shows a portable telephone 1 (PS) and a base station C.
It is a figure which shows the time run of the transmission / reception sequence performed between S. First, the transmission sequence will be described. Calling is a call connection phase for establishing a service channel (SCH) used for performing voice communication and data transmission in response to a request from a mobile phone (hereinafter abbreviated as “terminal”).

In FIG. 3A, in order to establish an SCH, two messages, a link channel establishment request and a link channel assignment, are transmitted to a logical control channel (LCC).
H: Logical Control Channel). After the terminal receives the link channel assignment, it confirms that the assigned link channel (LCH: Link Channel) is a free channel and can be used for communication, and transmits / receives a synchronization burst on the designated LCH. After receiving the synchronization burst from the terminal PS, the base station CS transmits the synchronization burst to the terminal PS.

The terminal PS establishes LCH synchronization by receiving a synchronization burst from the base station CS, and establishes an OSI (Open System Interface) on the LCH between the terminal PS and the base station CS.

Next, a low-speed associated control channel (SACC)
H: Transparent and highly reliable data transmission between nodes using both the Slow Associated Channel (FACCH) and the Fast Associated Channel (FACCH) channel, utilizing the bit string transmission function provided by Layer 1. Is established, and then data is transferred between end systems using the data transmission function provided by layer 2, and call connection for outgoing / incoming calls, line monitoring, and movement between base stations are performed. Connection switching,

Next, the incoming call sequence will be described. An incoming call is a call connection phase for establishing an SCH used for voice communication and data transmission in response to a request from the network.

In FIG. 3B, the waiting terminal P
S receives the incoming call message transmitted from the base station CS and detects the incoming call. The terminal PS that has detected the incoming call secures the LCH by transmitting and receiving two messages, the link channel establishment request and the link channel assignment, on the LCCH in the same manner as at the time of calling, establishes the synchronization by the synchronization burst, and establishes the LCH. , Layer 2 is established. After Layer 2 is established, management of radio resources, mobilization support, and negotiation relating to line call connection are performed between the network and the terminal by control signals of Layer 3, CC, RT, and MM, and SCH is established to establish a communication phase ( The processing shifts to a bold arrow labeled “during call” in the figure.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a time run of the cutting sequence. Disconnection means terminating communication by releasing the SCH established between the terminal PS and the base station CS and disconnecting the radio channel. The disconnection includes two disconnection procedures: terminal-side disconnection (also called PS-side disconnection) and base station-side disconnection (also called CS-side disconnection). First of all, cutting
The call is released by exchanging a disconnection, release, and release completion message using the layer 3 call control signal (CC). Thereafter, the layer 2 is released, and the radio resources are released using two messages of the radio channel disconnection of the RT and the completion of the radio channel disconnection, that is, the layer 1 is released, and the terminal PS is released.
Shifts to the standby process after releasing layer 1.

Here, the above-mentioned UUI can be added to the two messages of "call setting" and "call setting acceptance" in the above-mentioned outgoing / incoming sequence. For example, a UUI is added to the call setup message of the outgoing / incoming call sequence, and the UUI
If additional data such as a short message and a sub-address are set in the terminal, short messages and sub-addresses can be transmitted and received between terminals. Also,
The above-mentioned UUI is also included in the “disconnect” message of the disconnection sequence
Can be added.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, assuming data transfer between terminals, the UUI added to the "call setting" message of the calling terminal will be referred to as a "first UUI packet".
The UUI added to the "call setup acceptance" message of the called terminal is called "UUI second packet", and the UU added to the "disconnection" message of the calling terminal when disconnected.
Let I be referred to as "UUI third packet".

Note that a packet (also referred to as a "frame" depending on the layer) is generally a collection of information with a tag (address of information) attached thereto, and in particular, one exchange unit exchanged in a packet exchange network such as an ATM. However, in the present specification, the present invention is not limited to such a narrow meaning.
It is used as a term including a group of information of all types recognized as additional information of various messages exchanged between terminals. Therefore, the above-mentioned "call setup", "call setup acceptance", and "disconnection" messages are merely examples of messages for which use of the UUI is permitted among various messages exchanged between terminals.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic flowchart of a short message transmission processing program executed in the calling terminal. When this program is started, first, in step S11, a process of creating a short message and specifying a transmission destination is executed. In the process of creating a short message, a message editing screen is displayed on the display unit 18e, the numeric keypad of the key input unit 18f is switched to the character input mode, and character input by the user is accepted.

When the creation of the short message is completed, the process proceeds to step S12, in which it is determined whether or not the self-photograph data is registered in the self-introduction data area. In step S13, a required message on the display unit 18e, for example, "" Face photo data has not been registered. Press the ○ key to register, or the × key to not register. ”” (However, ○ ×
Indicates an arbitrary key), and if the キ ー key is pressed, the process proceeds to step S14 to register the self-photograph data in the self-introduction data area, and then to step S1.
In step 5, the registration number of the terminal is registered in the registration number field 20b of the last record (self-introduction data area) of the address book 20
Is performed, and if the X key is pressed, the process skips step S14 and proceeds to step S15.

The registration / non-registration of the face photograph data is determined by the last record (ID) of the address book 20 (see FIG. 2).
The face photo data field 20d of the code = “999” record is checked, and its value is Null or empty (Emp).
If ty), it is determined that data has not been registered, and if not, it is determined that data has been registered. In the registration processing of the face photograph data in step S12, the face photograph data field of the last record of the address book 20 is obtained by, for example, taking in own face photograph data from a personal computer or a digital camera via the external interface 18h.
d, or, in the case of a mobile phone with an image sensor, by registering face photo data of oneself photographed by the image sensor in the face photo data field 20 d of the last record of the address book 20. Is also good.

In this manner, creation of a short message, designation of a transmission destination, confirmation of registration of own face photo data (or registration of face photo data as necessary if not registered), and registration of own terminal When the number reading operation is completed, steps S16 to S16 described in detail below are performed.
At 22, the transmission sequence and the disconnection sequence described at the beginning are executed, and the “specific message” in the sequence is executed.
(A message to which a UUI can be added) to send a short message and own terminal registration number, check the image data request flag from the partner terminal, and if the flag is ON, the self registered in the self-introduction data area. After performing a series of processing of transmitting the face photo data (if a face photo data is not registered, a message indicating the fact is transmitted), the link channel with the partner terminal is released, and the standby state is established. Move to

<Steps S16 to S18> Step S16 (corresponding to the first step described in the gist of the invention)
Then, the data of the short message created in step S11 and the registration number of the terminal read in step S15 are set in the first packet of the UUI and transmitted. Here, as described above, the first packet of the UUI is the U packet added to the “call setting” message of the calling terminal.
It means UI.

Next, in step S17, a reception event of the second packet of the UUI from the partner terminal (an event is, for example, a specific signal reception notification service provided by the above-described layer 3; the same applies hereinafter) is waited for. Upon receipt, it is checked in step S18 whether or not the image data request flag in the packet is ON (request for image data).
If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S19. If it is not ON, the link channel with the partner terminal is released, and the program ends. Here, the second packet of the UUI is
As described above, this is the UUI added to the “call setup acceptance” message from the called terminal.

In step S19, it is checked whether or not the face photograph data is registered in the self-introduction data area. If not, a predetermined message or predetermined data indicating that data has not been registered (hereinafter referred to as "for convenience"). EMPT
Y ”) is set in the third packet of the UUI and transmitted, and then the link channel with the partner terminal is released to terminate the program. If registered, the process proceeds to step S21. The third packet is a UUI added to the “disconnection” message of the disconnection sequence, as described above.

<Step S21 and Step S22>
In step S21, the self-introduction data area of the own terminal,
That is, face photo data is read from the last record of the address book 20, and in step S22 (corresponding to the fourth step described in the gist of the invention), the face photo data is set in the third packet of the UUI and transmitted. Release the link channel with the terminal and end the program.

As described above, the calling terminal sets the short message data and the registration number of its own terminal in the UUI (first packet of the UUI) of the “call setting” message in the calling sequence and transmits the same. Of the disconnection sequence when the image data request flag from the called terminal set in the UUI (the second packet of the UUI) of the “call setting acceptance” message is ON
A series of processing of setting and transmitting own face photograph data in the UUI (third packet of the UUI) of the message and releasing the link channel is executed.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a schematic flowchart of the short message receiving processing program executed in the receiving terminal. When the program is started, first, in step S31, the process waits until the first packet of the UUI, that is, the reception event of the UUI added to the "call setting" message occurs. When the reception event of the UUI occurs, the process proceeds to step S32. (Corresponding to the second step described in the summary of the invention), the registration number (registration number of the originating terminal) set in the first packet of the UUI is the address book 20 of its own terminal (ID code = “001” to ID It is determined whether or not the data has already been registered in the code (any record of “998”). If it is not registered, an empty record (unused record among ID code = “001” to ID code = “998”) of the address book 20 is set as a current record in step S33, and the UUI of the UUI is added to the current record. Register the registration number (registration number of the calling terminal) set in the first packet and execute step S
Proceed to 35.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S32 that the registration number has been registered, the registered record is set as the current record, and in step S34, it is determined whether or not image data has been registered in the face photograph data field 20d of the current record. Is determined, and if it has been registered, there is no need to make a request for image data. Therefore, the following steps are passed to release the link channel, and then the program ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S34 that the image data has not been registered, in step S35 (corresponding to the third step described in the gist of the invention), the UUI (second packet of the UUI) of the "call setting acceptance" message Is set, the image data request flag (ON) is transmitted, and the UUI (third packet of the UUI) of the "disconnect" message is transmitted in step S36.
Wait until the receive event occurs.

Then, when the reception event of the third packet of the UUI occurs, it is determined in step S37 whether or not image data is set in the packet, that is, "EMP".
It is checked whether data other than TY "(see the description of step S20) has been set. If no image data has been set, the program is terminated after releasing the link channel. If so, the image data is extracted from the packet in step S38, and the image data is stored in the face photo data field 20d of the current record of the address book 20 in step S39 (corresponding to the fifth step described in the gist of the invention). After registering and releasing the link channel, the program ends.

As described above, the receiving terminal uses the registration number (registration number of the calling terminal) set in the UUI (the first packet of the UUI) of the "call setting" message of the receiving sequence as a keyword to store the address book 20 And if the same registration number is not registered in the address book 20,
While the registration number is newly registered in the empty record, if it is registered, the registration / non-registration of the face photograph data is determined,
When the face photograph data has not been registered or the registration number has been newly registered, the image data request flag (ON) is set in the UUI (the second packet of the UUI) of the "call setting acceptance" message in the transmission sequence and transmitted. The UUI returned in response to the image data request flag (ON), that is, the UUI of the “disconnect” message in the disconnection sequence
(3rd packet of UUI) is checked, and if image data is set, face photo data is extracted from the UUI, the face photo data is registered in the current record of the address book 20, and then the link channel is released. Is executed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the UU in which the registration number of the calling terminal is set from one terminal (the calling terminal) to the other terminal (the called terminal).
Only by transmitting I, it is possible to search the address book 20 of the other terminal and check whether or not the information of the user of one terminal has been registered. If the registration number is not registered, it is registered in an empty record in the address book 20 of the other terminal.
The information (image data request flag “O”
N ") can be sent back from the other terminal to the one terminal, the image data is set in the UUI on one terminal and transmitted to the other terminal, and the image data is registered in the address book 20 of the other terminal. can do.

Therefore, the registration number of one terminal and the face photograph data of the user can be registered in the address book 20 of the other terminal only by a calling operation from one terminal. A special effect is obtained in that there is no need to perform an incoming call operation (off-hook or the like) of the other terminal during the processing.

That is, as shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 7, first, a message is created on the originating terminal, a destination is designated and a transmission sequence is started, and the message data and the transmission are transmitted in the first packet of the UUI. The registration number (in the figure, “070-1234-5678” for convenience) is set and transmitted. The called terminal is the first user of this UUI.
When the packet is received, a record having the same registration number as the registration number (“070-1234-5678”) set in the UUI (ID code =
"003" record) is found from the address book 20.

If no face photo data is registered in the face photo data field 20d of the record,
In the second packet of the UUI, an image data request flag (O
N) is set and transmitted, and in response to the image data request flag (ON), the calling terminal reads out the face photograph data from the self-introduction data area, and
It is set in the third packet of the UI and transmitted. When face photo data is set in the third packet of the UUI, the receiving terminal extracts the face photo data from the UUI, and retrieves the current record of the address book 20 (in the example of FIG.
D code = “003” record) in the face photo data field 20d.

In the above processing, the user operation is required only for the operation of creating the message, designating the destination and starting the transmission sequence at the transmitting terminal, and the other operations are the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal. Is unnecessary, in particular, the operation of the receiving terminal can be simplified,
An automatic transmission function of self-introduction data including a registration number and face photograph data can be realized.

In the above embodiment, an example of transmitting face photograph data has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Image data other than a face photograph may be transmitted, and binary data or text data other than image data may be transmitted. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied at the time of transmitting a short message. However, the present invention can also be applied at the time of a normal call. Further, the transmitting side terminal and the receiving side terminal are not limited to the mobile phone.
