1 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a call connection service system for each user state detection in mobile communication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile station (MS) 10. 36, a base station (BTS) 12, 34, and an exchange (MSC: Mobile). Switching Center (14), Status Information Management System (16), DB (17), Automatic Response System (ARS) 18, Short Message Service (SMS) 20, Voice Mail System (VMS) 22, Home Location Register (HLR) 24, Inter-Working Function (IWF) 26, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Gateway 28, Web Server 30, Location Server 32, etc. do.

The mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 are in the range of the base stations 12 and 34 and the information of the mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 is exchanged through the base stations 12 and 34 and the base station controller (not shown) controlling them. (MSC) 14 is sent. Information transmitted from the exchange (MSC) 14 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 via the base stations 12 and 34. In this embodiment, the mobile communication terminal 10 is divided into the calling terminal and the mobile communication terminal 36 is called the called terminal.

The base stations 12 and 34 connect the mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 to a base station controller (not shown) to perform wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal and perform wired / wireless conversion function for performing wired communication with the base station controller.

The exchanger (MSC) 14 connects a call when a subscriber makes or receives a call, and connects to the base stations 12 and 34 through base station control to establish and release a call of the mobile communication terminals 10 and 36. Performs various functions related to call processing and additional services, and performs interworking with other networks.

In addition, the exchange (MSC) 14 of the present invention requests the call connection of the calling terminal 10 according to the set status information of the called terminal 36, terminates the call connection, and changes the call connection to the message service. . In this case, the message service refers to a message service such as SMS or VMS.

In addition, the exchange (MSC) 14 of the present invention is SMS through the TTS (Text-to-Speech) conversion means not shown SMS message of the calling terminal 10 in accordance with the set state information of the called terminal 36 The VMS message obtained by converting the text of the message into a voice file is transmitted to the called terminal 36. In this case, the TTS conversion means includes a voice processing board such as a diallogic board of Intel Corporation.

The status information management system 16 inquires the set terminal status information from the called terminal 36 and transmits the set terminal status information to the calling terminal 10. In addition, the state information management system 16 inquires whether the calling terminal 10 is a preset subscriber station through the switching unit (MSC) 14 and requests a call connection only for the preset subscriber station, and calls the message service. Control exchange (MSC) 14 to change to.

The DB 17 records a service registration for transmitting the status information of the called terminal 36 to the calling terminal 10.

The ARS 18 server transmits the state information of the set terminal to the calling terminal through the exchange (MSC) 14 as recorded ARS voice.

The SMS 20 server serves to deliver the SMS message transmitted from the calling terminal 10 to the called terminal 36 through an exchange (MSC) 14.

The VMS 22 server records and stores the voice message of the calling party terminal 10 through the switching unit (MSC) 14 and delivers it to the called party terminal 36.

The home location register (HLR) 24 is a database that is connected to the exchange (MSC) 14 and manages various types of information of subscribers, and performs functions such as registration of subscribers, permanent information and location information of subscribers, and the like. It stores and supports various functions related to call processing and additional services.

The IWF 26 connects to the WAP gateway 28 to enable various services such as packet data, fax, and the Internet.

The WAP gateway 28 serves to connect the IWF 26 and the web server 30.

The location server 32 finds the location information of the called terminal 36 at the request of the called terminal 36, and when the measured location information of the called terminal 36 is in the set position, the exchange (MSC) ( In step 14), the call connection is changed to the message service.

Call connection service system for each user state detection in the mobile communication according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is only for subscribers registered in the state information management system 16 (for example, status information of the called party's terminal 36). Conference / work, public place, driving / voice call request, emergency call, etc.) to the calling terminal 10 with ARS voice, and the call connection requested from the calling terminal 10 at the exchange (MSC) 14 Continue or disconnect the call. Alternatively, the MSC 14 may select a message transmission service such as SMS or VMS instead of the call connection of the calling terminal 10, or automatically converts an SMS message into a VMS voice service so that the subscriber of the called terminal may easily send the call. Allows you to listen to message information.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a call connection service method according to user state detection in mobile communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2, a call connection service method according to user state detection in mobile communication according to an embodiment of the present invention proceeds as follows.

The mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 request registration to the state information management system 16 using a wired or wireless network in order to use the state detection service of the present invention. For example, the mobile communication terminal 10 accesses the web server 30 through the IWF 26 and the WAP gateway 28 and requests the service registration of the present invention. The state information management system 16 registers and stores the number MIN of the terminal which has requested service registration in the DB 17. (S10 to S12) At this time, the state of its own terminal is random state information (for example, a conference). / Register at work, public place, driving / voice call, emergency call, etc.).

Thereafter, when a call connection is requested from the originating terminal 10 through the base station 12 at the exchange (MSC) 14, the exchange (MSC) 14 registers the called terminal to which the call connection target is registered in the service of the present invention. The inquiry is made to the state information management system 16. The status information management system 16 inquires whether or not the called terminal's number MIN is present in the data registered in the DB 17, and provides the inquiry result to the exchange (MSC) 14. (S14 to S16 )

As a result of step S16, when there is a number of the called terminal in the data registered in the DB 17, the MSC 14 determines that it is registered in the status sensing service according to the present invention, and the status information management system 16 Request the inquiry of the status information of the called party's terminal 36. The status information management system 16 detects the status information data selected from any status information (for example, during meeting / work, public space, driving / voice call request, emergency call, etc.) in the DB 17. The detection result is transmitted to the exchange (MSC) 14.

As a result of the detection, when the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'meeting / working', the exchange (MSC) 14 interworks with the ARS 18 server to display the meeting / working status information of the called terminal 36. It transmits to the calling terminal 10 through the base station 12. Then, the calling terminal 10 continues to request the call (MSC) 14 to connect with the called terminal 36 through the base station 12, or to terminate the call connection (S18 to S20).

If the detection result indicates that the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'public place', the exchange (MSC) 14 interworks with the ARS 18 server to transmit the status information of the called terminal 36 to the base station. (12) is transmitted to the calling terminal (10). Then, the calling terminal 10 requests the switching terminal (MSC) 14 to transmit the SMS message to the called terminal 36 via the base station 12 (S22 to S24). The SMS 20 transmits the SMS message of the calling terminal 10 to the called terminal 36 via the base station 34.

If the detection result indicates that the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'operation / voice call request', the MSC 14 interworks with the ARS 18 server while the called terminal 36 is operating / Status information, which is a voice call request, is transmitted to the calling terminal 10 through the base station 12. Then, the originating terminal 10 requests the switch (MSC) 14 to transmit the VMS message to the called terminal 36 via the base station 12. (S26 to S28) The exchange (MSC) 14 The VMS message of the calling terminal 10 is transmitted to the called terminal 36 via the base station 34 through the VMS 22 server. In this case, the present invention may transmit the voice changed through the TTS to the called terminal 36 as a voice call by using the outgoing function of the MSC without using the VMS server.

If the detection result is that the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'emergency call reception', the MSC 14 interoperates with the ARS 18 server to provide emergency call recipient status information of the called terminal 36. While transmitting to the calling terminal 10 through the base station 12, the calling terminal 10 is requested to query the password whether the preset terminal. Then, the originating terminal 10 transmits the password to the exchange (MSC) 14 via the base station 12, and the exchange (MSC) 14 transmits the password to the status information management system 16 to the DB (17). It is determined whether the password registered in the) and the password inputted from the calling terminal 10 match each other. (S32 to S34)

As a result of the determination in S34, when the two passwords coincide with each other, the state information management system 16 transmits information to the exchange (MSC) 14 to approve that the calling terminal 10 is a predetermined subscriber terminal, and the exchange (MSC). 14 continues the call connection according to the approval information (S36).

However, as a result of determination in S34, when the two passwords do not match with each other, the state information management system 16 transmits the unapproved information to the exchange (MSC) 14 because the calling terminal 10 is not a predetermined subscriber terminal, The exchange (MSC) 14 terminates the call connection with the called terminal 36 while transmitting the unauthorized information to the calling terminal 10 through the base station 12. (S38)

Meanwhile, in the present invention, when the state information of the called terminal 36 is 'public place' or 'operation / voice call request' in steps S22 to S24 and S26 to S28, respectively, the exchange (MSC) 14 Requests to measure the location information of the called terminal 36 through the IWF 26 and the WAP gateway or directly from the location server 32, and the location where the measured location information is set in the location server 32 (e.g., If you are in a theater, a public place such as a museum, or a road, change the call connection of the calling terminal to an SMS or VMS message service.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an SMS or VMS transmission service method for each user state detection in a mobile communication according to another embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 3, a message service method according to user state detection in mobile communication according to another embodiment of the present invention proceeds as follows.

The mobile communication terminals 10 and 36 request registration to the state information management system 16 using a wired or wireless network in order to use the state detection service of the present invention. The state information management system 16 registers and stores the number MIN of the terminal which has requested service registration in the DB 17. (S10 to S12) At this time, the state of its own terminal is random state information (for example, a conference). / Register at work, public place, driving / voice call, emergency call, etc.).

Thereafter, when the SMS 14 transmits an SMS message from the calling terminal 10 through the base station 12, the switching terminal (MSC) 14 registers the called terminal 36 with the service of the present invention. The inquiry is made to the state information management system 16. The status information management system 16 inquires whether or not the number MIN of the called terminal is included in the data registered in the DB 17, and provides the inquiry result to the exchange (MSC) 14. If there is a number of the called terminal in the data registered in the DB 17, the exchange (MSC) 14 requests the status information management system 16 to query the status information of the called terminal 36. The status information management system 16 detects the status information data selected from any status information (for example, during meeting / work, public space, driving / voice call request, emergency call, etc.) in the DB 17. The detection result is transmitted to the exchange (MSC) 14 (S40 to S42).

As a result of the detection, it is determined whether the status information of the called party terminal 36 is a 'public place' or the like in the 'meeting / task' capable of receiving an SMS.

As a result of the determination in step S44, when the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'meeting / working' capable of receiving SMS, 'public place', etc., the exchange (MSC) 14 sends the calling party through the SMS 20 server. The SMS message of the terminal 10 is transmitted to the called terminal 36 via the base station 34 (S46).

However, if it is determined in step S44 that the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'operation / voice call request' in which the SMS reception state is not possible, the MSC 14 exchanges the SMS through the TTS conversion means (not shown). The VMS message obtained by converting the text of the message into a voice file is changed, and the changed VMS message is transmitted to the destination terminal 36 through the base station 34. (S48 to S50)

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating subscriber state setting in a call connection and message service system according to user state detection in mobile communication according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal registers the state detection service of the present invention to the state information management system using a wired or wireless network. For example, the preset terminal status provided by the status information management system, for example, during a meeting, during work, performance hall, text message (SMS) only, voice call (VMS) only, while driving, other (direct input) Any one of them can be selected and registered. Alternatively, the subscriber may input and register arbitrarily without selecting any one of the preset terminal states.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it has been described that any one of the preset terminal states is selected and registered. However, the state information of the terminal may be variously changed and replaced by those skilled in the art.

5A to 5C are diagrams illustrating various examples of call connection and message service methods according to user state detection in mobile communication according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 5a, when the call connection request from the calling terminal 10, the state information management system queries the data registered in the DB. As a result, when the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'in a meeting', the exchange (MSC) transmits to the calling terminal 10 to the calling terminal 10 that the status of the called terminal 36 is in a meeting in association with the ARS server. do. Accordingly, the calling terminal 10 requests the switch MSC to continue to request a call connection with the called terminal 36 or to terminate the call connection.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the call connection request of the calling terminal 10 is requested, the state information management system inquires the data registered in the DB. As a result, the status information of the called terminal 36 is' emergency phone only. In case of 'receive', the exchange (MSC) transmits to the originating terminal 10 to the calling terminal 10 that only the emergency call is received in connection with the ARS server. The state information management system receives the password from the calling terminal 10 through the exchange (MSC) and determines whether it matches the password registered in the DB 17, and if the two passwords match each other, the called terminal 36 Request call connection with). However, if the two passwords do not match each other, the call connection with the called terminal 36 is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 5C, when the sender terminal 10 requests an SMS message transmission, the status information management system inquires the data registered in the DB. As a result, the status information of the called terminal 36 is 'SMS received'. If not, the MSC changes the SMS message of the calling terminal 10 to the VMS message and transmits the changed VMS message to the called terminal 36 through a call connection and a voice call.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, various modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims to be described later.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage that the subscriber station can conveniently use the mobile communication service by notifying the calling party terminal status to the calling party terminal of the ARS to continue the call connection or terminate the call connection. .

In addition, the present invention is to inform the calling terminal of the status of the called terminal to the ARS to convert the call connection to the message transmission, such as SMS, VMS, so that the message can be sent instead of the call connection to the called terminal of the call difficult state Make sure

In addition, the present invention is to change the SMS message to VMS when the status of the destination terminal is difficult to receive the SMS by automatically converting the message that is difficult for the called party to check directly to the voice to deliver to the mobile subscribers Can provide better service.
