The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, a message server, and a method capable of automatic aggregation of opinion surveys through transmission and reception of messages for aggregation.

Recently, due to the development of electronic and communication technology, a mobile communication terminal is able to receive a swap or web service and also a long text message by accessing the Internet by itself, from sending and receiving voice or short text message. To this end, mobile operators are currently providing multimedia content services by establishing a communication module supporting a communication protocol for internet connection between a terminal and a swap or web server, and a network supporting a high-speed, large-capacity packet exchange method. Increasingly, terminal users want to be able to check the place, time, and attendance of various meetings through the handheld terminal.

In the related art, these techniques have been kept at a low level so that a terminal user can confirm when a reply message is input from a plurality of other terminals by sending a feedback message about a meeting from the mobile terminal to a plurality of other mobile terminals. Therefore, the mobile communication terminal user has to check the reply message in order to find out a plurality of opinions about the meeting. In addition, conventionally, there is no inconvenience in that the terminal user must classify each function because there is no aggregation processing function according to the opinion survey.

On the other hand, in general, a mobile communication terminal has a limited memory capacity for storing messages. Accordingly, there has been a problem that the mobile communication terminal may not receive a reply message for the opinion survey message for the meeting.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technology that enables a mobile communication terminal user to confirm opinion aggregation information through a terminal by automatically performing opinion aggregation for various meetings.
