Description

Method for controlling alarm message service of mobile communication terminal

1 is a flow chart for a message transmission service in the prior art

2 is a flowchart illustrating a notification message service control of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to a mobile communication service, and in particular, when using a message transmission service, a notification message according to a power on / off state of a receiver terminal is transmitted to a sender terminal, so that the notification message of the mobile communication terminal can be improved. It relates to a service control method.

In general, users using a mobile communication terminal can transmit necessary messages to a desired state through use of a message transmission service function of various formats additionally implemented in the terminal.

Here, the types of message transmission services include E-mail and Short Message Service (SMS), Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

In order to use the message transmission service of the mobile communication terminal, the following progress steps are generally required.

As shown in FIG. 1, a message transmission service type must be selected from a service menu of a mobile communication terminal (S101).

In this case, the user may write a message to be transmitted using various methods.

Such a message writing method includes a method of directly writing and inputting a message, a method of creating a transmission message using a message stored in a memory of the mobile communication terminal, and using a boilerplate and an image registered in the mobile communication terminal. How to write it.

The appropriate message input method is selected from the above message creation methods (S102), and a corresponding message to be transmitted is created using the selected message input method (S103).

Then, when a predetermined command button, for example, a transmission button for transmitting the message thus created is pressed, the corresponding message transmitted from the mobile communication terminal is transmitted to the message service center through the base station and the mobile communication exchange.

Accordingly, the message service center processes the received message according to the user's request and transmits the corresponding message to the receiving terminal (S104).

As described above, when the message service is transmitted from the sender's mobile terminal, the message service is transmitted to the receiver's mobile terminal through the base station. When a receiver terminal is powered on while managing a message, the message is immediately sent to the receiver terminal.

However, the conventional mobile communication terminal has a main purpose of making a call, and thus there is a problem that the user is inconvenient in using a message transmission service.

For example, in the case of a message transmission service, a message receiver has no choice but to receive and acknowledge a message received regardless of his / her will when receiving the message. Had.

That is, in the case of conducting a call through voice, a call can be formed in real time between the sender and the receiver, so that communication between users can be freely performed, but in the case of a message transmission service, only one-way message delivery is performed. I had to have a disadvantage.

In particular, when the receiver terminal is turned off, the sender side cannot know the status of the receiver terminal. Therefore, it is not possible to know whether the receiver side has received the message after the message transmission.

This state is maintained until the sender attempts to talk to the receiver and directly checks the situation of the receiver, or sends a reply message indicating that the receiver has received a message after turning on the terminal.

That is, in the conventional mobile communication system, when the receiver's mobile communication terminal is turned off, the base station manages the message transmitted by the sender until the receiver's mobile communication terminal is turned on. No action is taken.

The present invention is to solve the problem of the message transmission service using the mobile communication terminal of the prior art as described above, the message transmission by transmitting a notification message according to the power on / off state of the receiver terminal when using the message transmission service to the sender terminal It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of controlling a notification message service of a mobile communication terminal, which can improve the efficiency of a service.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling a notification message service of a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising: receiving data from a sender terminal and transmitting the data to a receiver terminal; If it is determined that reception of the data is impossible at the receiver terminal, the system side sends a message including the status of the receiver terminal so that the sender terminal can inform the sender of the status of the receiver terminal related thereto. And transmitting to the side terminal.
Preferably the system side comprises a base station and an exchange.
More preferably, the exchange further comprises a message center.
In addition, when the power of the receiver terminal is turned off and the base station cannot determine the location of the receiver terminal, the receiver terminal determines that the data cannot be received.

After the base station transmits a message including the status information of the terminal on the receiver side to the terminal on the sender side and informs the sender, the base station manages the sender's message until the base station can transmit the sender message. Is preferably transmitted to the terminal on the receiver side.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments.

A preferred embodiment of a method for controlling a notification message service of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a notification message service control of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

The present invention transmits a notification message having such status information to the sender's mobile terminal when the receiver's mobile communication terminal is turned off and the base station cannot immediately transmit a message when the message is transmitted from the mobile terminal. This will increase the efficiency of the message transfer service.

Here, the types of message transmission services that can be provided include E-mail and Short Message Service (SMS), Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

The mobile communication system of the present invention is largely configured as follows to provide such a message transmission service and a notification message.

First, a sender mobile communication terminal for creating a message and sending the message to a base station, a base station for processing a message transmitted from the sender's mobile communication terminal and transmitting or managing the message to a receiver's mobile communication terminal, and finally from the base station. It consists of a mobile communication terminal for a receiver for receiving a message.

In a method of controlling a notification message service of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, a sender composes and transmits a message using a mobile communication terminal, and upon receiving the message at a base station, according to a power on / off state of a mobile communication terminal at a receiver side. Transmitting the corresponding message to the receiver terminal or transmitting a notification message according to the power on / off state of the receiver terminal to the sender terminal.

In more detail, as shown in FIG. 2, which illustrates a process from the moment when a sender writes a message to the transmission of a power-off notification message from a base station, the sender selects a message transmission service in a mobile communication terminal (S201). Select a message input method to be transmitted (S202).

Herein, the message input method includes a method of directly creating and inputting a message using a keyboard on a terminal, a method of creating a message using a message stored in a memory of the mobile communication terminal, and a method registered in the mobile communication terminal. There is a method of writing using boilerplate and images.

The sender selects an appropriate message input method among the message creation methods as described above, and creates a message to be transmitted using the selected message input method (S203).

In this way, when the message desired by the sender is created, the sender selects a send button or a menu of the mobile communication terminal and transmits the corresponding message (S204).

When the message data transmitted from the sender terminal is received at the base station (S205), the base station checks the receiver number to determine the position of the receiver terminal (S206).

Here, when the receiver terminal is powered on (S207) and the location of the receiver terminal is determined, the corresponding message is transmitted to the receiver terminal (S208).

If the receiver terminal is powered off and cannot determine the location of the receiver terminal (S207), the base station generates a text notification message such as 'the receiver terminal is powered off and cannot receive a message immediately'.

In this case, the contents and data size of the text notification message may vary.

The generated text notification message is transmitted to the sender's mobile communication terminal (S209).

The base station manages the message sent by the sender until the receiver terminal is turned on, and transmits the message to the receiver terminal when the receiver's mobile communication terminal is turned on (S210).

In other words, while the receiver terminal is powered off, the base station manages the message and periodically locates the receiver terminal, and immediately transmits the message to the receiver terminal when the receiver's mobile communication terminal is turned on.

Such a method for controlling a mobile terminal notification message service according to the present invention can solve the shortcomings of the message transmission service in which the sender side and the receiver side are transmitted by a non-interactive selection.

In other words, it improves the efficiency of the message transmission service by solving the problem caused by the sender sending a message and not determining whether the receiver has received it.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the embodiments, but should be defined by the claims.

Such a method of controlling a notification message service of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention has the following effects.

First, the base station notifies the sender of the status information on the power-off of the receiver terminal to increase the efficiency of the message transmission service.

Secondly, if the base station fails to transmit the message to the receiver terminal, the sender is notified, so that the sender does not have to perform a direct call attempt or a confirmation message from the receiver, thereby enhancing the convenience of the mobile subscriber.
