The present invention relates to a multimedia message service (MMS) method, and more particularly, to a method for downloading selected content by using a multimedia message service, in which a receiver selects and downloads content to be downloaded from contents constituting a multimedia message. It is about.

The multimedia message service (MMS) is widely used because it is possible to attach contents such as a video, a picture, a melody, etc., unlike a conventional text message composed of letters and numbers only.

However, when the receiver receives the MMS and wants to download it, all the contents included in the MMS are downloaded all at once, regardless of the intention of the receiver.

Therefore, in the case of a service for collecting charges per packet, there is a problem in that the receiver has to download and pay accordingly even though the receiver is not intended to receive the content.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of downloading selected content using a multimedia message service that can download only desired content without downloading all contents included in the MMS when downloading the MMS.

Another object of the present invention is to allow the receiver to download only the desired content in the MMS, not only to reduce the download time, but also to use the multimedia message service that can reduce the cost in the case of the service billed by the amount of packets to be downloaded It provides a method for downloading the selected content.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of downloading selected content using a multimedia message service, the method comprising: receiving a notification message notifying a arrival of a multimedia message transmitted from a calling mobile terminal; Checking a list of contents included in the multimedia message with reference to a specific field of the notification message and selecting specific contents; And requesting the server to transmit the selected specific content, and downloading a multimedia message including the selected specific content from the server.

Accordingly, when the download of the multimedia message including the selected specific content is completed, a confirmation message indicating that the download is completed is transmitted to the server.

The notification message is an M-Notification.ind message, and the specific field is an 'X-Mms-Content-List' field of the M-Notification.ind message.

The content may include text content created from an electronic document, a Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG), a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), a Portable Network Graphics (PNG), a Bit MaP (BMP), a Wireless BMP (WBMP), or the like. Image content, including audio content including WAV, MP3 (MPeg layer 3), MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), Audio Video Interleaving (AVI), Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), Advanced Stream One or more of video content including Format, WMV (Windows Media Video), and the like.

In this case, the server is a Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMSC).

In the present invention, the server 30 is, for example, a multimedia message service center (MMSC) which may be located in a personal computer, a mobile communication terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA) or the Internet.

The server 30 delivers the multimedia message to the receiving terminal 20 when a multimedia message service (MMS) may be transmitted to the receiving terminal 20.

However, if the multimedia message cannot reach the receiving terminal 20, for example, the personal computer or mobile communication terminal or personal digital assistant (PDA) having the receiving terminal 20 is turned off or is a wireless telecommunication network. It functions as a means (using a memory or the like) for storing the multimedia message transmitted to the receiving terminal 20, for example, when it is outside the reach area of.

In other words, for example, when a multimedia message transmitted to a mobile communication terminal is received by the server 30, the received multimedia message is stored in a memory (not shown) of the server 30.

The multimedia message stored in the server 30 is effectively present for a predetermined time and deleted after a predetermined time.

As described above, the deletion of the multimedia message stored in the server 30 may occur when the memory storage capacity of the server 30 becomes full, in which case the oldest multimedia message is deleted.

Alternatively, when a new multimedia message is received from the calling terminal 10 without deleting the multimedia message stored in the server 30, the new message may be configured to be overwritten and updated.

In addition, the contents included in the multimedia message include 'text content' created as an electronic document, JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group), GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), PNG (Portable Network Graphics), BMP (Bit MaP), WBMP ( 'Audio Content' including WAV, MPeg Layer 3 (MP3), Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), etc., including 'Wireless BMP', etc., and Audio Video Interleaving (AVI), Moving Picture Experts Group ), "Video Content" including ASF (Advanced Stream Format), WMV (Windows Media Video), and others.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described in detail. However, these drawings are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 is a flowchart of an MMS system message according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an MMS system message according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, a multimedia message is sent (M-Send.req, S10) by a calling terminal 10 connected to a network and received by a server (MMSC) 30.

In addition, the server 30 receiving the multimedia message sends a confirmation message indicating that the multimedia message has been received to the calling terminal 10 (M-Send.conf, S20), and on the other hand, the receiving terminal 20 provides multimedia. A notification message indicating that the message is received is transmitted (M-Notification.ind, S30). Here, the step (S20) of sending the confirmation message that the multimedia message has been received from the server 30 to the calling terminal 10 is the step of transmitting the notification message of receiving the multimedia message to the receiving terminal 20 (S30). May change.

In the present invention, a field called a content list is newly added to a notification message used in the related art, and is defined as shown in Table 1.

As shown in Table 1, in the present invention, a field for allowing a receiver to view a list of contents included in the multimedia message is added to the notification message, so that the server can select the desired contents among the contents included in the multimedia message by viewing the list. It will be downloaded by downloading request (WSP GET.req, S50) to (30) (M-Retrieve.conf, S60).

On the other hand, upon receiving the notification message, the receiving terminal 20 transmits a confirmation message indicating that the notification message has been received to the server 30 (N-NotiResp.ind, S40).

After receiving the desired content among the contents included in the multimedia message, the receiver 20 transmits a confirmation message indicating that the download is completed to the server 30 (M-Acknowledge.ind, S70). In addition, after receiving the corresponding confirmation message from the server 30, the receiving terminal 20 delivers a confirmation message indicating that the corresponding content has been downloaded from the receiving terminal 20 (M-Delivery.ind, S80).

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof. Therefore, the exemplary embodiments described above are to be understood as illustrative and not restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the following claims rather than the detailed description, and the meaning and scope of the claims and All changes or modifications derived from the equivalent concept should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.

As described in detail above, according to the method of downloading the selected content using the multimedia message service according to the present invention, it is possible to download only the desired content without downloading all the contents included in the MMS when the MMS is downloaded. have.

In addition, the present invention can reduce the time taken for download as well as the receiver can download only the desired content in the MMS has the effect of reducing the cost in the case of the service billed by the amount of packets to be downloaded.
