Service area notification method using information message of short message service {SERVICE AREA ALARM METHOD USING INFORMATION MESSAGE OF SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE}

The present invention relates to a service area notification method using an information message of a short service, and in particular, to allow a user to inform which communication network the service provider currently belongs to, for example, an IS95A network, an IS95B network, or a CDMA2000 network. The present invention relates to a service area notification method using an information message of a short service.

Looking at the technology for providing on-demand information services in the conventional mobile communication system as follows.

As one embodiment of the prior art, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-0060789 (name: on-demand information service method in a mobile communication system) is a method for requesting on-demand information service of a user when a subscriber wants to access information in a mobile communication system. Implementing the on-demand information service method that provides the information in real time using the short message service in the information providing device and a recording medium recording a program for realizing the same, integrating the short service server having the on-demand information function in the short message service message center A first step of connecting to an external information providing apparatus for providing various kinds of information; A second step of setting a short service environment by routing from the mobile station to the short service message center; In a short service environment, a third step of sending, by the short service message center, an on-demand information service request message to the short service server according to an on-demand information service request from a mobile station through a mobile outgoing short service; And a fourth step of recognizing that the short message service server is an on-demand information service through a communication service identifier, and transmitting an on-demand information service request response message for the corresponding information in the information providing apparatus to the mobile station in real time through a mobile incoming short message service. The technology is as follows.

First, in order to provide the on-demand information service to the short service subscriber, a short service origination message including a communication service identifier and a destination address for a service desired by the mobile station is transmitted to the switching center.

Thereafter, the switching center analyzes the short message originating message received from the mobile station and establishes a route. If the short distance service is different from the general voice call, the switching center routes the short message service to the short message service message center.

Next, the short message service center transmits it to the network element to be processed using the destination address. If the destination address of the corresponding message included in the input signal is set to the short service server, the short message service server is transmitted. Here, the routing information should be set in advance in the short service message center.

The short service server recognizes the on-demand information service access message using the corresponding communication service identifier and analyzes the message.

Thereafter, the information providing apparatus analyzes whether the on-demand information service is available to the user in the short service environment, and if the short service for the on-demand information service is not available, provides a short service other than the on-demand information service such as sending or receiving a corresponding message. If a short message service for the on-demand information service is provided, the on-demand information service request response message for the on-demand information service request is transmitted to the mobile station, in contrast to the reception path, to notify the mobile station of the completion of the transmission.

As described above, the information can be immediately provided for the user's on-demand information service request in the short service environment, thereby satisfying the user's service needs.

1 is an exemplary view showing a menu and information processing relationship in an information service of an on-demand information service method in a mobile communication system. As shown in the drawing, menu depths for providing an on-demand information service are largely classified into categories and detailed information. Here, the detailed information is divided into character type information, callback type information, and external IP connection type information according to the type of information.

The subscriber can use the original access code, direct access code, and item name to access the on-demand information.

However, in the conventional technology as described above, there is no need to inform the general user of the service area since the types of communication network services provided by the service providers are not diverse.

However, the current communication network used by subscribers is mixed with various communication networks such as IS95A network, IS95B network, and CDMA2000 network, and service types and fee systems are different for each service area.

Therefore, the general user needs to know the information on which service area he is currently in, but the user cannot know this information because the information is exchanged between the terminal and the base station only by a message of a wireless channel. .

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and it is possible to inform the user of which communication network the current service provider belongs to, for example, an IS95A network, an IS95B network, or a CDMA2000 network. The purpose is to provide a service area notification method using an information message.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first step of adding a user service area channel to an information service category located in a database in a short service server, and adding a user service area channel to an information channel selection menu in a mobile station. A service configuration step consisting of two steps; A third step of the user setting a user service area channel in the information channel selection menu of the mobile station; a fourth step of transmitting, by the short service server, an information channel including an information message of the user service area channel to the mobile station; In step 5 is a service providing step consisting of receiving and storing the information message transmitted from the short service server, extracting the information message of the user service area channel and display on the display unit.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The system environment in which the present invention operates operates in the apparatus consisting of a mobile station, a base station, a control station, an exchange station, a visitor location register, a home location register, a short message service message center, and a short message service server. The service area notification method using the information message will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a service area notification method using an information message of a short service according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a first service step of transmitting an information category list message of a short service to a mobile station from a short service server is shown. S3); A second step (S4 to S6) of setting, by the mobile station, an information service channel to a 'user service area' and transmitting an information message corresponding to the information service from the short service server to the mobile station after executing the first step; An embodiment of the present invention will be described as consisting of a third step (S7, S8) of receiving and storing an information message at the mobile station, extracting an information message corresponding to a user service area, and displaying the information message on a display unit.

The telecommunications operator adds a channel called a user service area to an information service category among information message parameters recorded in a short service server linked to an information providing device providing various information.

List of information categories of short service Message / Information Teller Service

parameter type Message identifier necessary User data Selection ...... ...... ...... ......

In the above list message, the sub parameter of the user data includes a category list of the information service of the short service currently serving in the communication network, and the message structure of this sub parameter is formatted as a repetition of the following variable items.

Information service category number (hexadecimal ASCII) Tab character (0x9) Information Service Category Name Line break (0xd)

For example, if the category number is 17 and the name corresponding to the 17 is a user service area, the following message structure is formed.

Category number designation Message structure 17 User service area "17 / tab / user service area / linefeed /"

The mobile station adds the 'user service area' information channel to the information channel selection menu of the short service menu, and stores a category number corresponding to the service area information channel when the user selects the service area information channel.

The user selects the information service menu of the short service from the menu provided by the mobile station and selects the 'user service area' channel.

The service provider transmits all information channels, including the category 17 user service area channel, through the paging channel to all mobile stations located in the service area.

When the mobile station receives an information message of the short service, it checks whether the information category of the message is included in the information category list received through the information category list message of the short service and set to receive by the user, and receives and stores the corresponding message. If not, ignore the message.

The mobile station extracts the contents of the 'user service area' channel stored in the memory and displays the currently provided service type on the display unit.

For example, the mobile station may display on the display that it is in a CDMA2000 service environment.
