The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for receiving a message in a mobile communication terminal. In particular, when receiving a packet service from a PC through a terminal, various messages such as a cell broadcast message or a short message received during a PC operation may be received. The present invention relates to a message receiving apparatus and method for a mobile communication terminal.

In recent years, each home is equipped with at least one PC and high-speed Internet line, and wireless Internet is also available in major cities, so there is no difficulty in using the Internet. However, since the Internet cannot be used in the outskirts of cities or areas where wired Internet lines are not supported, internet services (packet services) must be obtained by connecting a mobile communication terminal and PC (laptop computer, etc.).

In other words, by using a mobile communication terminal as a kind of wireless modem, the PC can use the Internet service. At this time, all messages received by the terminal connected to the PC are notified to the PC side only, or the reception sound of the terminal is received. Through this, only the reception of the message can be recognized.
Therefore, the user was able to recognize the reception of the message by the above method, and the received message could be confirmed only through the terminal.

As described above, the packet service method using the conventional terminal is inconvenient for the user who uses the message, and when the cable connection between the PC and the terminal becomes unstable when the terminal is operated to check the message, the packet service is terminated. Problems also occur, and in the case of messages that are continuously received, such as cell broadcast messages, a user may not be able to check in time.

Accordingly, the present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and when receiving a packet service from a PC through a terminal, various messages such as a cell broadcast message or a short message received during a PC operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for receiving a message in a mobile communication terminal that can be received by the PC.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the packet data processing unit for outputting the packet data received by the terminal to the specified device; A message data processing unit for converting and outputting a short message received by the terminal into a data format suitable for a designated device; A PC synchronizer for synchronizing and outputting data output from the packet data processor or message data processor to the PC side; A PC interface unit configured to interface the packet data or the message data outputted through the PC synchronization unit with the PC side through a communication device such as UART or USB, in a terminal, and receive the packet data or message data from the terminal side. A terminal interface unit; A message decoding unit for decoding message data among data received through the terminal interface unit; And a message content output unit for outputting the content of the decoded message in a designated screen format such as a pop-up on the PC side.

The present invention is to provide a device and method for enabling the PC to check the contents of the various messages received by the terminal during the PC operation when using the packet service through the terminal in the PC (PC).

In this case, the terminal provides a menu for setting a device for checking the contents of the received message. That is, the PC provides a menu for selecting whether to check the message content or the terminal, and when selecting the message confirmation in the PC to deliver the message in the form of predetermined data (eg TPDU data) to the PC side It is.

Accordingly, the PC determines whether the received data is packet data or message data in a predetermined format, and in the case of message data, decodes TPDU (Transport Protocol Data Unit) data of the message data through the decoding module, and then Displays the message content to the user through a pop-up screen.

On the other hand, a message that is designated to be stored in the PC according to the class of the message separately from the content output of the message is transmitted so that the message received by the user at the predetermined position designated by the PC can be stored.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a message receiving apparatus of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a packet data processing unit 100 for enabling a packet service in a PC connected to a terminal, and a short message received at a terminal to a designated apparatus are shown. A message data processing unit 101 for outputting or converting a data format according to an output device, a PC synchronization unit 102 for synchronizing and outputting data output from the packet data processing unit or the message data processing unit to the PC side; And a PC interface unit 103 for interfacing packet data or message data output through the PC synchronization unit with a PC side through a communication device such as a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) or a USB.
For reference, the UART is a general purpose asynchronous transceiver, and a representative example of using the same is a mouse supporting RS-232C, which is used to control a computer by directly connecting a computer with a peripheral device.
In addition, the PC, which is connected to the terminal and performs a packet service, may interface with the terminal to receive a packet data or message data, and to analyze and decode the message data received through the terminal interface. And a message content output unit 106 for outputting the content of the decoded message in a designated screen format such as a pop-up.

Hereinafter, the operation and operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a message receiving method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. The terminal includes a menu for selecting an apparatus for outputting the content of a received message as shown in FIG. Select whether to check or check on the terminal.

If the terminal selects to check the message content, the message TPDU is delivered to the application layer and processed in the same manner as before, and the PC side selects to check the message content (for example, Setting == PC). It converts the data into the appropriate format for transmission to the interface module on the PC side and transmits the data to the PC side.

Accordingly, the PC, which receives the data through the terminal, analyzes the received data to determine whether the packet data or the message data, extracts the message data, and decodes the TPDU and the header information. That is, the PC may determine the type of data by analyzing the header portion of the received data.

Next, the contents of the decoded message are output to the pop-up screen of the PC. Although the output screen may be expressed in various ways, it may be more preferable to express it in an emulation of a terminal shape.

At this time, the class of the received message is determined so that the message can be stored in the corresponding location of the designated device. If the message is a 'Class 3' message, the PC stores the received message at a location designated by the user.

For reference, the SMS message according to the class is connected to 'Class 0' which is not stored in the storage medium, 'Class 1' which is stored in the flash area of the terminal, 'Class 2' which is stored in the SIM card of the terminal, It is divided into 'Class 3' which is stored in TE (Terminal Equipment). In case of 'No Class', it is stored in the storage medium set as priority. In this case, the terminal and PC are connected through UART or Universal Serial Bus (USB).

As described above, the user can check the contents of the received message while working in the PC without the key manipulation or the folder manipulation of the terminal.

As described above, in the message receiving apparatus and method of the present invention, when receiving a packet service from a PC through the terminal, the message receiving apparatus and method of the mobile communication terminal receive various messages such as a cell broadcast message or a short message received during the PC operation. Can also receive from the effect.
