The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal system equipped with a survey function and a control method thereof. In particular, when a survey program is downloaded and executed by a subscriber terminal registered in a research site, a survey is required from a registered subscriber DB. The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal system having a survey function for executing a survey through a survey program of a selected terminal after searching for a subscriber that meets a condition, and a control method thereof.

In general, a mobile communication terminal uses a variety of methods, such as WAP (WAP) and SMS (Short message service) for the Internet search, mobile game or other screen configuration using the wireless Internet, double swap (WAP: Wireless application protocal) is a communication protocol that allows users to quickly search and display information on the Internet using a mobile phone.Unwired Planet in the United States, Ericsson in Sweden and Nokia in Finland. ) And four companies in the US, Motorola, compiled and standardized the basic standards in September 1997. On the other hand, the WAP adopts a gateway method to allow a large amount of information to be transmitted in a short time due to the instability of the communication quality, and the gateway is installed between the cellular phone network and the Internet to generate hypertext. The language (HTML) is converted to a proprietary language called Wireless Markup Language (WML), and the transfer protocol for these WML files also uses proprietary specifications rather than the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). In addition, the above WAP defines an application program interface (API), so that various gateway applications are loaded on the gateway. In addition, the SMS is a two-way data radio calling service in accordance with the global mobile communication system (GSM) standard, and refers to a service for transmitting data at a speed of up to 150 BPS between a terminal and a terminal, and between terminals or a network. It is possible to send and receive messages consisting of letters and numbers. The types of SMS include short message transmission, urgent message display, date, time stamp, and message recognition.

Then, referring to FIG. 1, a conventional mobile communication system using a communication standard such as WAP or SMS, the function signal transmitted from a plurality of terminals 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message Or a base station 71 for wirelessly processing an internet access signal, an MSC 72 for controlling a transmission function of a call signal, an SMS message or an internet access signal input through the base station 71, and the MSC 72; It is connected to the) includes an SMS server 73 for providing an SMS message to the terminal 70.

Here, the Internet server 77 is connected to the MSC 72 through a gateway network.

On the other hand, looking at the operation of the conventional mobile communication system as described above, when the user of the terminal 70 wants to send the information desired by the user to the other terminal to the SMS message, the user of the terminal 70 is a finger portion folder Put between the 74 and the body portion to open the folder portion 74 or hold the folder portion 74 with both hands to open it, then select the menu through the keypad 75 and then enter the necessary characters. When the character input is completed through the above process, the user of the terminal 70 selects a destination telephone number to be transmitted from a list of phone books stored therein and presses the transmit button. Then, the terminal 70 transmits the text data input by the current user in the SMS message to the base station 71. Therefore, the SMS message signal of the terminal 70 is input to the SMS server 73 via the base station 71 and the MSC 72 and stored. In addition, the SMS server 73 checks the destination phone number of the input SMS message and transmits it to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 transmits the SMS message signal transmitted from the SMS server 73 to the counterpart mobile phone 74. The counterpart terminal 76 analyzes the received SMS message signal and displays the signal on the display.

On the other hand, when a specific Internet site, for example, the survey Internet server 77 to perform a survey using SMS or WAP to the users of the plurality of terminals 70, the MSC (Internet Server 77) in the MSC ( 72 and the survey request message is sent to the terminal 70 via the base station 71 in an SMS message. Then, the user of the terminal 70 confirms the contents of the received SMS message and sends the acceptance will be sent back to the SMS message. Then, the Internet server 77 confirms the acceptance intention, and then sends the survey SMS message back to the terminal 70. Therefore, in the case of the survey method of the SMS message type as described above, one survey item is loaded into the SMS message as described above, and then transmitted and received one by one to execute the survey. In addition, when the terminal 70 responds to the survey of the Internet server 77 by the WAP method, the Internet server 77 uses the W70 page for the survey to the terminal 70, for example, WML (Wireless markup language). In this case, the user of the terminal 70 searches for the survey WAP page using a WAP browser and responds to the survey.

However, the conventional method of surveying a mobile communication terminal is a method of using a SMS message so that the user of the terminal responds to one item transmitted from an Internet server. It was very difficult to take a survey, and when using the WAP method, the user of the terminal should use the WAP browser to access the Internet server by using a WAP browser and take the survey accordingly. There was a problem that the convenience is considerably lowered.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, and when the survey is conducted, the subscriber can respond to multiple questions without having to answer only one questionnaire, thereby maximizing the expandability of the terminal survey. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal system having a survey function and a control method thereof.

Another object of the present invention is that the subscriber can proceed to the survey immediately from the survey screen without having to respond to the survey by using the individual browser on the terminal to check the contents of the survey according to the convenience of the terminal survey accordingly The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal system having a significantly improved survey function and a control method thereof.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a mobile communication terminal for downloading a survey program in advance to respond to the survey wirelessly and processing various call signals, and download the survey program in advance to the mobile communication terminal and A mobile communication terminal system equipped with a survey function consisting of an Internet server that executes a survey by sending a java push message to a terminal of a corresponding subscriber by comparing and searching previously registered subscriber information, and selecting a survey person and a method of controlling the same. To provide.

Another feature of the present invention is a subscriber information registration step in which a user of a mobile communication terminal accesses a survey site through the Internet to provide subscriber personal information and then registers, and a terminal user currently registered after the subscriber information registration step in an Internet server. After downloading the survey program to download and install the survey program to the terminal provided by the provided URL, and after the survey program download step to check whether the Java push message received on the current terminal from the Internet server When the Java Push Message Acknowledgment step and the Java Push Message Acknowledgment step are confirmed, and the Java Push message is received from the Internet server in the current terminal, the terminal automatically executes the survey program and accesses the Internet server to survey contents. This data The present invention provides a control method of a mobile communication terminal system having a questionnaire function comprising a questionnaire execution step of bringing a result of the questionnaire to a screen and then transmitting the result of the questionnaire back to the Internet server.

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

The present invention is a j2me (jave 2 micro edition) based mobile communication terminal (1) for wirelessly answering the survey and processing various call signals by downloading a survey program such as Java midlet in advance as shown in FIG. And a survey program, for example, a Java midlet, are pre-downloaded to the mobile communication terminal 1, and searched by comparing the registered subscriber information to select a survey person, and then a java push message is transmitted to the subscriber terminal. Internet server 2 for performing a survey, and a base station system unit 3 for wirelessly relaying the transmission signals between the mobile communication terminal 1 and the Internet server (2).

The mobile communication terminal 1 is installed on a part of the body of the mobile communication terminal 1 to display various information signals therein and to display a program for surveying a terminal user processing menu, and Register the survey subscriber information with the Internet server (2), execute and resend the survey data received from the Internet server (2), and control the functions of the mobile communication terminal (1), including the transmission and reception of radio call signals According to the main control block unit 5 and the processing control signal of the main control block unit 5, a survey program, for example, a Java midlet downloaded in advance from the Internet server 2, is stored and various types of mobile communication terminals 1 are stored.
