Description

A font data download service method of handheld mobile phone device}

The present invention relates to a portable mobile phone terminal, and more particularly to a method for providing an additional service for the portable mobile phone terminal.

Handheld mobile phones are used to display fonts for each function with built-in font data. Existing portable mobile phones have fixed font data as one, so long as the entire mobile phone software is not changed. Font changes are not possible.

As described above, the portable mobile phone terminal can use only a limited number of fonts. Therefore, in order to satisfy various user's tastes, it is possible to easily change the font data of the portable mobile phone terminal. need.

The present invention provides a method in which the user can change the font data of the portable mobile phone terminal in a variety of ways easily to suit his or her taste.

The present invention for achieving the above object is characterized in that the user of the portable mobile phone terminal (font) to download the desired data (font) from the service providing server to the terminal (change) settings. In this case, the service providing server has various font data files as a database, and when a user requests a download of a desired font data file after accessing it through a communication service, it is designated by the user. After calling the terminal, the font data file is requested to download. The portable mobile phone terminal receives a font data file in response to a ringtone download call from a service providing server and stores it in a memory. The mobile terminal displays a list of font data stored in the memory when the user changes the font data, and selects one of the displayed font data when the user selects one of the displayed font data. (font) Use data for each function.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth, such as a specific configuration, which are provided to assist in a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It is self-evident to those who have. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

1 is a network configuration diagram for the present invention. In the present invention, the portable mobile phone terminal communicates with the portable mobile phone base station, and the portable mobile phone base station is connected to the communication network. A mobile base station and a service providing server are connected through a communication network. The communication network can also be connected to a portable terminal such as a PC or a PDA using the wireless Internet. According to the present invention, various font data are stored in the service providing server as a database.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 100 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal, performs a control operation for calling, editing a phone number, sending and receiving mail, etc. according to a user's request, and receiving consonants or vowels according to an embodiment of the present invention. Control the operation.

The display unit 110 may be configured as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and the like, and outputs various display data according to the status information and the use mode of the terminal.

The voice processor 130 outputs a digital signal by processing a voice input through a microphone, and converts the data received through the antenna into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal.

The RF unit 140 down-converts and filters the signal received through the antenna and outputs the signal, and up-converts the signal output after being modulated by CDMA (CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS) from the controller 100. CONVERTING) and filter and transmit to the base station through the antenna.

The memory 150 stores various programs for operating the mobile communication terminal and a plurality of data according to the use of the terminal. In particular, the memory 150 requests and downloads font data from the service providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention. It has a built-in program with the function to receive, save and select fonts according to user's request.

3 shows a schematic operation sequence of the service providing server. The system is in a standby state, and when a content request is received from the portable mobile phone terminal, the function transmits the content to the terminal.

FIG. 4 is a schematic operation sequence of a program embedded in the memory of FIG. 2 requesting, receiving, storing, and using font data in a service providing server according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

For font data download service according to the present invention, a plurality of font data are formed in a file form and stored in a database in a service providing server. The font data file includes various font data suitable for each model of the terminal. In this state, when a user of the portable mobile phone terminal as shown in FIG. 2 wants to download new font data, the user first accesses the service providing server through a portable terminal such as a PC or PDA connected to the communication network or a portable mobile phone terminal. do.

When the user of the mobile phone terminal accesses the service providing server, the user of the mobile phone terminal can check a list of font data that can be used for a specific mobile phone. In this case, it is preferable to provide a means for visually confirming the shape of a font as long as the method of the portable mobile terminal user accesses the service providing server. That is, it is good to be able to check the shape of the actual font on the PC screen when connected through a PC, and the actual font through the LCD screen when connected to the service providing server through a portable mobile phone terminal. It is good to be able to check the shape of the).

When the user selects desired font data from a list of font data, the font data is transmitted to a designated portable mobile phone terminal, and the portable mobile phone terminal receives the data and stores it in the memory. When new font data is received and stored in the portable mobile terminal by the above procedure, the user can select a desired font and use it for each function of the portable mobile terminal. At this time, the number of font data to be stored will be as much as the storage memory space allows. And you can delete the font data file that you have saved if you want.

If the specified portable mobile terminal does not respond when the service server attempts to transmit the specified font data, the transmission is stopped.

In this way, the user of the portable mobile phone terminal selects the desired font data through PC communication, the Internet, or his portable mobile phone terminal, and downloads it to his portable mobile phone terminal. fonts can be changed in various ways easily.

As described above, the present invention searches for fonts that can be downloaded by using font data of a portable mobile phone terminal through a PC communication, the Internet, a voice response system, or a portable mobile phone terminal thereof, and the desired one among them. There is an advantage that can be easily changed to use the font (font) to suit your taste.
