The present invention relates to a text message conversion service, and in particular, to a receiver-centered text message conversion method and system for converting and displaying all text messages received in an appropriate form when a receiver to receive a text message subscribes to the message conversion service. It is about.

In general, text message transmission service is already widely used mainly by using a mobile phone. After writing a text message to be transmitted not only on the mobile phone but also on the Internet such as a website, the mobile phone number of the recipient and the phone number of the sender may be transmitted.

1 is a flowchart of a text message transmission process using a general mobile phone, a step of selecting writing a text message (ST1), a step of writing a new sentence after selecting the writing of the text message (ST2), and after creating the new sentence Inputting the recipient's telephone number (ST3), transmitting a text message including the new sentence, the recipient's telephone number and the sender's telephone number to the recipient's mobile communication terminal (ST4), and the recipient's mobile communication terminal The display performs the text message transmitted from the above step ST5 without any additional processing.

In other words, if you select to write a text message on the mobile phone, a new text is written and the recipient's phone number is input and the text message is transmitted. At this time, the writing of a new sentence, the input of the telephone number of the receiver and the input of the telephone number of the caller, etc. may be changed or selectively performed by the mobile phone manufacturers.

In this way, the text message created by the sender is transmitted to the receiver's mobile communication terminal as it is written by the sender, and the SMS center does not process the text message separately.

Therefore, the existing text message transmission service has been centered on the sender regardless of the recipient's consent, and the receiver has a blind spot and a uniform and inefficient problem of communication in which the sender only receives the converted text message for the subscribed service. there was.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a receiver-centered text message conversion method and system for converting and displaying all the received text messages into a proper form desired by the receiver when the recipient who receives the text message subscribes to the message conversion service. There is.

Technical means of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the service for transmitting a message through a message center (SMS center or MMS center), the first step in which the message center receives a text message from the sender; A second step of the message center searching through a database to determine whether a recipient to receive the transmitted text message is subscribed to a message conversion service; A third step of transmitting a text message to a message conversion server if the receiver is subscribed to the message conversion service; The message conversion server is a fourth step of transforming the data of the text message to a predetermined form; And a fifth step of transmitting the modified text message to the mobile communication terminal of the receiver.

In detail, when the text message is transmitted to the message conversion server in the third step, the predetermined message conversion type information is also transmitted.

In addition, when the text message is transformed in the fourth step, the font or color conversion of the message or an emoticon suitable for the word of the message is directly transformed. Insert an emoticon or add a sound source.

When the data of the text message is modified in the fourth step, the text message is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal of the receiver through a short massage service (SMS) or a multimedia messaging service (MMS) network.

Technical means for achieving the above object is a system for transmitting a message through a message center, the system comprising: a database storing information of a subscriber subscribed to a recipient-oriented message conversion service; A message center for retrieving and determining whether the recipient of the text message is a recipient of a message conversion service by searching the database when the text message of the caller is transmitted through a predetermined mobile telephone exchange station; And a message conversion server that receives a text message from a message center when the receiver subscribes to a message conversion service, transforms the message into a suitable preset form, and transmits the message to the receiver's mobile communication terminal.

Specifically, the database is characterized in that it contains information on the type of message transformation for each recipient information, the message center is characterized in that the SMS (Short Massage Service Center) or MMS Center (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) The message conversion server may include a plurality of fonts, color conversion information, emoticon information, background picture information, or sound source information, which is deformation information of a text message.

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

Figure 2 shows a text message transmission system according to the present invention, the sender mobile communication terminal 10, mobile switching center 30 (MSC), SMS center 40 (SMSC), database 41, message conversion server ( 45) and the receiver mobile communication terminal 70 and the like.

The caller mobile communication terminal 10 is configured to transmit a written text message to a selected or selected recipient mobile communication terminal 70, and the mobile telephone switching center 30 is the mobile communication terminal 10. It is configured to receive the message transmitted from the device to the corresponding device according to the code for the service type of the message, SMS Center (Short Massage Service Center) 40 is the text message of the caller is delivered through the mobile switching center (30) When the database 41 is searched, the receiver determines whether the receiver of the text message is a receiver subscribed to the message conversion service, transfers the message to the receiver's mobile communication terminal 70, and manages the message. Stores information on recipients subscribed to the recipient-oriented message conversion service and information on the type of message transformation for each recipient. The message conversion server 45 receives the text message from the SMS center 40 when the receiver subscribes to the message conversion service, converts the font of the message, inserts a picture and a background picture, or transforms it into an emoticon for each word. The receiver is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70, and the receiver's mobile communication terminal 70 is configured to receive the modified text message through the message conversion server 45 and display the modified text message in the modified form.

The message conversion server 45 may be modified to at least one or more of font or color conversion of text messages, change and insertion of emoticons for each word, insertion of pictures and background pictures, or addition of sound sources, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the MMS center 50 receives the modified text message through the message conversion server 45 when the modified text message is not suitable for the short message service through the message conversion server 45. It is configured to suitably convert and then transfer to the receiver's mobile communication terminal (70).

The text message transmission method using the SMS center 40 has a low cost of use and a large effect when transmitting a short message, but only text information cannot be used to transmit multimedia data through a mobile phone. The transfer capacity is also very limited to 80 bytes. Accordingly, in order to improve such a text message transmission method, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) for transmitting and providing various multimedia contents as well as text messages has been provided. In the present invention, a modified text message in the message conversion server 45 is provided. If it is not suitable for a short message service is to transmit to the mobile terminal 70 of the receiver using the MMS center (50).

Figure 3 shows the structure of the database of the SMS center, there is a receiver information (41-1), which is the telephone number of the receiver's mobile communication terminal 70, and the desired modification type (41-2, 41-4) for each recipient and The items 41-3 and 41-5 are listed.

In other words, the font, color, and emoticon transformation during message conversion are related to the direct transformation (41-2) that directly transforms the message, and the background image insertion or sound source addition function does not directly transform the message but transforms the external environment. Regarding indirect deformation (41-4), the types of deformation can be broadly divided into direct deformation type (41-2) and indirect deformation type (41-4), and the direct deformation type (41-2) by the service receiver. Alternatively, the indirect deformation type 41-4 and its detailed modification items 41-3 and 41-5 may be selected. Of course, the application may set a certain deformation type and its items as defaults.

In addition, in the case of emoticons, there are both direct and indirect transformations. In the case of direct modification, an appropriate emoticon is matched for each word to directly transform a predetermined word into an emoticon. To insert the wallpaper externally.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of converting and transmitting a text message according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

First, a receiver to receive a text message subscribes to a message conversion service through an offline or online channel, and selects detailed information including the type of the recipient's telephone number, and the variation type and each detail item upon subscription. The message conversion related information of the receiver is registered and managed in the database 41 of the SMS center 40 (S1).

In this state, the caller selects the text message of the mobile communication terminal, selects the writing of the text message, writes a new sentence, enters the recipient's phone number, and includes the recipient's phone number and the sender's phone number. The text message is sent to the SMS center 40 (S2, S3). Of course, the text message is transmitted to the mobile switching center 30 through the base station 20, the mobile switching center 30 will deliver the text message to the SMS center 40 according to the type of service.

The SMS center 40 receives the text message transmitted from the sender's mobile communication terminal 10 and checks through the database 41 whether the receiver of the text message is subscribed to the message conversion service (S4, S5), When the receiver is registered in the message conversion service, the message transformation type and item information registered in the receiver information of the database 41 are checked, and the text message and the transformation type information are transmitted to the message conversion server 45 (S6). ).

Accordingly, the message conversion server 45 is appropriately modified and processed according to the text message transmitted from the SMS center 40 and the designated deformation type information (S7).

For example, when the deformation type information is a direct type font and color deformation, the text message as shown in FIG. 5 is transformed into a preset font and color as shown in FIG. 6A, and the deformation type information is indirect. In the case of inserting a type of background picture, the text message as shown in FIG. 5 is inserted into a predetermined background picture as shown in FIG. 6B, and the deformation process is performed. When the deformation type information is an indirect type of emoticon, FIG. 5. The text message as shown in FIG. 6C is inserted into the emoticon of the text message as a preset emoticon background to be transformed.

Of course, Figures 6a to 6c shows a variant using one function for convenience, for example, apply two or more types and items at the same time, such as applying a font and color transformation in the direct type and insert a background picture in the indirect type Of course, it can be modified.

In the case of emoticons, there are both direct and indirect variations. In the case of direct modification, an appropriate emoticon is matched for each word to transform a predetermined word into an emoticon. Apply the screen.

That is, the message conversion server 45 contains various deformation information such as emoticons, background emoticons, background pictures, and sound sources for each word, as well as font information, and transforms them into appropriate forms.

As such, the message conversion server 45 transforms the text message data in a predetermined manner, and then transfers the text message to the SMS center 40 (S8), and the SMS center 40 sends the modified text message to the mobile switching center 30. And through the base station 60 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 70 of the receiver (S9).

Of course, the screen of the receiver's mobile communication terminal 70 is displayed as shown in Figure 6a, 6b or 6c (S10).

On the other hand, if the modified text message is not suitable for the short message service in the process of transforming the data of the text message, the message conversion server 45 delivers the modified text message to the MMS center 50, MMS center (50) ) Processes the modified text message transmitted from the message conversion server 45 to a standard suitable for the terminal and transmits the modified text message to the mobile communication terminal 70.

Although a specific embodiment of the present invention has been described and illustrated above, when sending a text message to the mobile communication terminal 70 of the receiver, without using the SMS center 40 or the MMS center 50 or with the SMS center 40. It is obvious that the present invention may be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art, such as using all of the MMS centers 50. Such modified embodiments should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention, but should fall within the claims appended to the present invention.

Accordingly, in the present invention, by converting and displaying all the received text messages in the appropriate format desired by the receiver, the message can be received in the desired form from the standpoint of receiving the service as the message is switched from the sender-centered to the receiver-centric. There is an advantage to be higher.
