DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 100 denotes a calling-side mobile phone (mobile communication terminal), which has a function (sending means) for adding a unique address 105 to call information and sending a call. The call information here may use calling number information, or may use a calling or called subaddress in PHS or the like.
The server 102 is connected from the Internet network N to the radio base station 200 via the radio network N ′, and performs radio communication from the radio base station 200 to the caller mobile phone 100 or the callee mobile phone 101. The server 102 includes a CPU 109 (transmission means) that controls the entire server 102, a database 103 that stores caller information (identification information) including user names, telephone numbers, and image information, and caller information. A data conversion unit 104 for conversion.
The address 105 indicates the storage location of the sender information in the database 103 by URL display.
The incoming side mobile phone 101 (mobile communication terminal) includes an RF processing unit 110, an audio transmission / reception unit 111, a CPU 112 (detection unit, acquisition unit, control unit) that controls the entire incoming side mobile phone 101, an audio input unit 113, audio A reproduction unit 114, a display unit 115, an operation unit 116, a storage unit 117, and a packet transmission / reception unit 118 are included.
The storage unit 117 stores terminal capability information 106. Here, the terminal capability information 106 is a screen size, a character code, a language (Japanese, English, Korean, etc.), a corresponding image format, an image size, etc. indicating the processing capability of the receiving side mobile phone 101.
[0010]
Next, the operation of the mobile communication system configured as described above will be described. First, the case of newly registering the caller information of the caller-side mobile phone 100 in the database 103 of the server 102 will be described with reference to FIG. The user operates the calling-side mobile phone 100 to start an Internet browser (step S300), and accesses the registration home page via the Internet (step S302). The CPU 109 in the server 102 starts the registration program upon receiving the access in step S302 (step S304), and transmits a new registration form to the calling-side mobile phone 100 (step S306). When the calling-side mobile phone 100 receives the new registration form and displays it on the display unit, the user inputs the user's name and telephone number and the form content of the attached image in the new registration form (step S308), and the transmission of the operation unit The key is pressed (step S310) and transmitted to the server 102 (step S312). The CPU 109 of the server 102 adds the URL display address with the content of the transmitted new registration form as the sender information of the calling-side mobile phone 100 and newly registers it in the database 103 (step S314). Then, CPU 109 notifies URL, which is the address of the newly registered caller information, to calling side mobile phone 100 (step S316). The calling-side mobile phone 100 stores the received URL in a memory in the phone (step S318).
[0011]
Next, a case where the caller information of the calling side mobile phone 100 is corrected in the database 103 of the server 102 will be described with reference to FIG. The user operates the calling side mobile phone 100 to start an Internet browser (step S500), and adds the own terminal telephone number as a tel parameter to the address of the registration homepage to access the Internet (step S502). The CPU 109 in the server 102 starts the registration program in response to the access in step S502 (step S504). Next, the CPU 109 detects that the tel parameter is added to the address of the registration home page transmitted from the calling-side mobile phone 100, and searches the database 103 for registered caller information corresponding to the telephone number ( Step S506). Next, CPU 109 transmits the modified registration form to calling side mobile phone 100 in the form in which the registered caller information searched in step S506 is input as an initial value (step S508). When the calling-side mobile phone 100 receives this correction registration form and displays it on the display unit, the user corrects the content of the correction registration form (step S510), presses the transmission key of the operation unit (step S512), and the server 102 (Step S514). The CPU 109 corrects and registers the transmitted form contents in the database 103 (step S516), and notifies the originating mobile phone 100 of the completion of registration (step S518).
[0012]
Next, an operation in which the incoming-side mobile phone 101 acquires caller information will be described with reference to FIG.
When the user performs a call operation on the calling-side mobile phone 100 (step S100), the calling-side mobile phone 100 also performs data transmission with the address 105 added to the call information (step S101).
The CPU 112 of the receiving side mobile phone 101 determines whether or not an address is included in the call information at the time of the incoming call (step S102), and if not, the voice transmission / reception unit 111 performs a normal incoming call operation. When the address 105 is included, the receiving-side mobile phone 101 receives the address 105 at the packet transmitting / receiving unit 118. The CPU 112 accesses the server 102 via the packet transmission / reception unit 118 based on the address 105 (step S103).
[0013]
The CPU 109 in the server 102 receives the access in step S103, and sends a request for terminal capability information to the called mobile phone 101 (step S104). When the CPU 112 receives the request, it sends the terminal capability information 106 of its own terminal to the server 102 via the packet transmission / reception unit 118 (step S106).
Next, the CPU 109 extracts the sender information A to which the address 105 is added from the database 103. The caller information A is a registration process in FIG. 2, and a specific name, telephone number, and image information are registered. Next, the data conversion unit 104 converts the image information from the sender information A into a format that matches the terminal capability information 106 (step S108). The server 102 transmits the caller information A including the converted image information to the receiving side mobile phone 101. The incoming side mobile phone 101 displays the transmitted caller information A from the packet transmitting / receiving unit 118 on the display unit 115 via the CPU 112 (step S110). At this time, since the caller information A transmitted from the server 102 is converted into a format that can be displayed on the display unit 115, the incoming caller mobile phone 101 displays the received caller information A with a light load. 115 can be displayed.
[0014]
By the way, since the same telephone number of the mobile phone does not exist, the above address may be the same as the telephone number of the mobile phone. In this case, the receiving-side mobile phone 101 acquires the calling phone number of the calling-side mobile phone 100 using the existing calling number notification function, and creates an address for accessing the server 102 based on the phone number.
If the address is not the same as the phone number, the same service can be provided without updating the database or address in the server even if the phone number of the calling mobile phone owned by the caller is changed. Is possible.
[0015]
When a plurality of users use the same caller mobile phone, as shown in FIG. 5, an address for each user and caller information corresponding thereto are prepared in the database 103 of the server 102. The calling-side mobile phone 100 may allow the user to select which caller information is specified by the user menu or the like, or may make a call by adding a corresponding number for each user after the other party telephone number. . In this case, since each address only has a form corresponding to each sender information, it can be realized only by transmitting a corresponding address by the transmitting-side mobile phone 100.
[0016]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when caller information is stored in the database of the server, when the caller mobile phone makes a call to the callee mobile phone, the storage location of the caller information is set. Send the address of the indicated server. Then, the incoming side mobile phone can access the server at the time of the incoming call and receive the caller information indicated by the address. Thus, the caller mobile phone can identify the caller by its address, and can receive data with a light load with a data size adapted to the processing capability of the callee mobile phone.
Further, even when a plurality of users use the calling side mobile phone, an address is assigned to each user, so that the caller can be specified.
[0017]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the specific structure is not restricted to this embodiment, The design change etc. of the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention are included.
[0018]
For example, in the above embodiment, the user's name, telephone number, and image information are registered and added to the server's caller information, but the phone book data created by the user on the mobile phone is stored in the server's caller information. You may register with. In this case, the user can access the server from the address and acquire the phone book data.
Further, the present invention may be applied to a portable personal computer or PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) having a wireless communication function instead of the cellular phone in the above embodiment.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the mobile communication terminal detects the address transmitted from the mobile communication terminal on the transmission side, and acquires the identification information with the address added from the server, The mobile communication terminal on the transmission side can be identified. Therefore, even when an incoming call is received from a caller who is not registered in the phone book of the mobile communication terminal, the caller can be specified by transmitting the address from the caller mobile communication terminal.
In addition, the mobile communication terminal does not have to have extra identification information such as phone book data, and even if the model of the mobile communication terminal is changed, the identification information in the server can be used as it is, and the identification information is re-input to the new terminal. There is no need to do it.
In addition, when the mobile communication terminal transmits data such as image information, any mobile communication terminal on the receiving side can display information with any processing capability adapted to that terminal, so that the image data It is no longer cut off in the middle, which helps speed up data processing.
