The present invention relates to a system for automatically sending a short message and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a system and a method for automatically sending a predetermined short message to a sender according to a sending condition preset by a subscriber.

In the conventional communication system, when a called party does not answer a call or cannot make a call, a uniformly determined voice guidance message is sent to the caller's terminal.

However, in this case, the caller could not know at all why the caller could not answer the call or why the call was not connected, and there was a problem such that misunderstanding occurred because the caller could not inform the caller of such circumstances.

As an alternative to this situation, in recent years, when the called party fails to answer the call, a service has been introduced that later informs the called party of the calling number of the incoming call. The advantage of using this service is that the called party can know later that he did not receive the call, but the caller still knows that the call came later. The problem remains that we do not know whether we do not receive a call or in what circumstances.

In another form, if the called party is in an incapable state when the caller makes a call, a service has been proposed for storing the stored call and notifying the caller of the fact that the called party is in a normal state and retrying the call. have. However, even in such a service, there is still a problem that the caller has no knowledge of the called party's situation at the time of the call.

 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and a method for sending a short message designated by a called party to a calling party's terminal when the calling party makes a call according to a sending condition set in advance by the called party.

In order to achieve the above object, the automatic message delivery system of the short message according to the present invention is composed of a base station (BTS), exchange (MSC), home location register (HLR), intelligent network (IN) and short message service center (SMSC) A mobile communication system, wherein, when an outgoing signal is received from a caller's terminal at the base station, the caller information and the called party information are transmitted to the intelligent network through the switch and the home location register. Determining whether the receiver is a pre-set short message sending condition in the case of a service subscriber, and if the sending condition is satisfied, the short message previously stored by the called party together with the sender information. The message is delivered to the service center, and the short message service center sends the short message to the sender. It characterized in that it sent to the terminal.

According to the present invention, the condition for sending is the call connection failure of the called party, the intelligent network is to send the pre-stored short message to the short message service center when the call connection failed to the called party's terminal to be sent. Can be.

Further, according to the present invention, the sending condition is a period designated by the called party in advance, and the intelligent network determines whether the time when the outgoing signal is received belongs to the predetermined period, and if the message falls within the period, the short message. The pre-stored short message can be delivered to the service center for dispatch.

The predetermined period may be designated as a one-time predetermined period or a periodic time zone.

Further, according to the present invention, the sending condition is a caller's number, the intelligent network determines whether the caller's number is a predetermined number, and when the caller's number is a predetermined number, the short message service center sends the short message to the short message service center. You can send a short message stored in advance to send.

Further, according to the present invention, the sending condition is that at least two or more of the caller's number, the period designated by the called party, and the call connection failure of the called party have a priority and are predetermined. According to each other, the short message is stored in advance, wherein the intelligent network determines whether the shipment condition is satisfied according to the priority, and if the shipment condition is satisfied, the short message service corresponding to the shipment condition is stored in the short message service. We can send to center and send.

According to the present invention, the intelligent network may prohibit sending the short message when the same called number is received from the same sender within a predetermined time.

According to the present invention, the intelligent network may be configured to set or terminate the sending service of the short message to the called party according to the combination when a combination of a predetermined special character and a number is received from the called party's terminal.

In addition, the automatic message transmission method according to the present invention, if a combination of a predetermined special character and number from the receiver's terminal, the step of setting or canceling the sending service of the short message for the called party according to the combination It may further include.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an automatic sending system for short messages according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the automatic message delivery system of the short message according to the present invention, the base station (BTS) 20, the exchange (MSC) 30, home location register (HLR) 40, intelligent network (IN) It is a system for transmitting a short message stored in advance according to a condition using a mobile communication system composed of 50 and a Short Message Service Center (SMSC) 60 to a caller's terminal.

When an outgoing signal is received from the terminal 10 of the caller 20 at the base station 20, the caller information and the called party information are transmitted to the intelligent network 50 through the switch 30 and the home location register 40.

The intelligent network 50 determines whether or not the called party is a service subscriber, and determines that the short message sending condition preset by the called party is satisfied when the called party is a service subscriber, and if the sending condition is satisfied, the short message previously stored by the called party is stored. The message is sent to the short message service center 60 together with the caller information.

The short message service center 60 sends a short message to the sender's terminal 10.

These services should be stored in advance by the receiver joining the service, specifying the shipping conditions and the short message. The service subscription, the sending condition, and the designation of the short message can be performed by the called party using the called party terminal 70. When the service is subscribed, the home location register 40 stores information subscribed to the intelligent network service in the called party information. In addition, the sending condition and the short message set by the called party are stored in the intelligent network 50.

Shipping conditions can be set by the called party as long as the service provider provides. The following shipping conditions are useful.

First, the sending condition is a call connection failure of the called party, and the intelligent network 50 transmits the short message stored in advance to the short message service center 60 when the call connection to the called party's terminal fails.

These shipping conditions include, for example, when a caller attempts to connect to a call, for example, because he or she is in an out-of-service area, powered off, etc., and fails, in which case, for example, "My phone is broken and You can save short messages such as "I cannot receive" and send them to the sender in advance.

Alternatively, the sending condition is a period designated by the called party in advance, and the intelligent network 50 determines whether the time when the outgoing signal is received belongs to the predetermined period, and if the time is within the period, the short message service center tells the short message service center. You can send a short message stored in advance to send.

Here, the predetermined period can be designated as a one-time predetermined period or a periodic time zone.

These shipping conditions are short messages such as, "If you cannot answer a phone call for a certain period of time, for example, because you are going on a business trip for a certain period of time, you will not be able to answer a phone call because you are traveling abroad from 0th to 0th September." You can save the message in advance and send it, or if you have a meeting from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on a regular time frame, for example, a short message such as "I am in a meeting and I will call you when the meeting ends" You can save it so that it can be sent for incoming calls in the appropriate time zone.

Alternatively, the sending condition is the caller's number, and the intelligent network 50 determines whether the caller's number is a predetermined number, and delivers the short message stored in advance to the short message service center when the caller's number is a predetermined number. Can be sent out.

These shipping conditions, for example, pre-determining the calling party number of a certain person, such as a girlfriend, and pre-store a short message such as "I'm sorry, I can't call you right now, but I'll call you soon" when a call comes from the calling party. You can send it out.

Alternatively, the sending condition is that at least two or more of the caller's number, the period designated by the called party, and the call connection failure of the called party have a predetermined priority, and different short messages are stored in advance according to each sending condition. At this time, the intelligent network 50 determines whether the shipment condition is satisfied according to the priority, and if the shipment condition is satisfied, the intelligent network 50 delivers a pre-stored short message corresponding to the shipment condition to the short message service center 60. You can send it out.

Also, the intelligent network 50 may prohibit the sending of the short message when the same called number is received from the same sender within a predetermined time.

In general, when the called party does not answer the call, the caller often tries to repeat the call continuously. In such a case, it is better to send the short message only once. Therefore, if the same caller attempts to call the same called number repeatedly within a predetermined time, the short message is prohibited from being sent. That is, a short message is sent for the initial call attempt, but if there is a call attempt again within a predetermined time (for example, within 1 minute), the short message is not sent.

In addition, when the combination of a predetermined special character and number is received from the called party's terminal 70, the intelligent network 50 may set or terminate the sending service of the short message to the called party according to the combination. This is to allow the called party, i.e., the service subscriber, to freely set up or cancel the service by using a combination of special characters and numbers such as '88'.

As shown in Figure 4, the automatic message sending method according to the present invention, using a mobile communication system consisting of a base station, an exchange, a home location register, an intelligent network and a short message service center,

In step S10, when an outgoing signal is received from the caller's terminal at the base station, the caller information and the called party information are transferred to the intelligent network by the exchange and the home location register.

Next, in step S20, the intelligent network determines whether the called party is a service subscriber. At this time, if the user is not a service subscriber, the flow proceeds to step S60 to execute a call connection.

In step S30, when the called party is a service subscriber, it is determined whether the preset short message sending condition is satisfied by the called party. At this time, if the shipment condition is not satisfied, the flow advances to step S60 to execute call connection.

In step S40, if the sending condition is satisfied, the receiver forwards the short message stored in advance to the short message service center together with the caller information.

Next, in step S50, the short message service center sends the short message to the sender's terminal.

Here, the shipping conditions can be determined in various ways, a useful example will be described as follows.

First, the sending condition is the call connection failure of the called party, and determining whether the sending condition is satisfied (S30) is a step of determining whether the intelligent network has failed by attempting to connect the call to the called party's terminal.

Alternatively, the dispatch condition is a period designated by the called party in advance, and the step of determining whether the dispatch condition is satisfied (S30) is a step in which the intelligent network determines whether the time when the called party number is received falls within the predetermined period.

Here, the predetermined period may be designated as a one-time predetermined period or a periodic time zone.

Alternatively, the sending condition is the sender's number, and the step of determining whether the sending condition is satisfied (S30) is a step of the intelligent network determining whether the calling party's number is a predetermined number.

An example of the above-described shipping condition is omitted since it has already been described above.

When setting a plurality of sending conditions, at least two or more of the caller's number, the period designated by the called party, and the call connection failure of the called party have a predetermined priority and are different according to each sending condition. The short message is stored in advance, and the step of determining whether the sending condition is satisfied (S30) is a step of sequentially determining whether the sending condition is satisfied according to the priority of the intelligent network.

Processing in the case of setting a plurality of shipping conditions will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in Fig. 5, when an outgoing signal is received, it is first determined whether the outgoing number is a predetermined number (S31). If the predetermined number is a short message 1 corresponding to this to send to the sender (S41).

If the calling number is not a predetermined number, the flow advances to the next step to determine whether it is a predetermined period (S32). If it belongs to a predetermined period of time to send a corresponding short message 2 to the sender (S42).

If it is not the predetermined period, it proceeds to the next step to determine whether the call connection failed (S33). If the call connection fails to send a short message 3 corresponding to the sender (S43).

If the call connection is successful, of course, the process proceeds to step S60 to execute the call connection.

The automatic message sending method according to the present invention may further include the step of prohibiting the sending of the short message when the intelligent network receives the same called number from the same sender within a predetermined time.

In addition, the method for automatically sending a short message according to the present invention further comprises the step of setting or canceling the sending service of the short message to the called party according to the combination when a combination of a predetermined special character and a number is received from the called party's terminal. It may include.

In the above, the present invention has been described with some useful shipping conditions. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various shipping conditions can be set according to service provision.
