Referring to FIG. 2, wireless terminal users may generate their own desired content (eg, images, text, video, etc.) using a camera mounted on their wireless terminal, while the wireless terminal performs the standby mode. When the user selects an operation for generating content, for example, a communicator function through the keypad (steps 202 and 204), the wireless terminal proceeds to the shooting mode (step 206).

Accordingly, the wireless terminal user can generate the desired content through selective shooting using the camera mounted on the wireless terminal while performing the shooting mode, and the creation of the content is completed, that is, the camera shooting is performed in response to the user operation. When it is finished (step 208), the wireless terminal provides a menu screen for inputting a message for identifying the content (e.g., content title, delivery message, etc.) on the monitor.

Subsequently, when the wireless terminal user requests a content upload after inputting a message for the delimiter, the wireless terminal uploads the upload request message to the content service server 106 via the network 104 together with the wireless terminal ID such as a mobile phone number. Is sent (step 210, 212). In response, the content service server 106 will authenticate the registered member based on the wireless terminal ID and the ID information stored in the member information DB 108 (step 214).

To this end, on the monitor of the wireless terminal providing the content service, an icon (for example, a homepage registration icon) for selecting only registration of the personal homepage and an icon for simultaneously selecting registration of the homepage and transmission to another wireless terminal ( For example, homepage registration and transmission icon) is provided. Here, selecting (clicking) only the homepage registration icon means registering the content generated by the corresponding wireless terminal only in the member's own homepage (the contents of the homepage).

Next, when the registered member is authenticated, the content service server 106 withdraws a selection menu screen from the member information DB 108 requesting whether the content is disclosed and the selection of the sending target, and transmits the corresponding wireless terminal through the network 104. (Step 216), the selection menu screen includes a public or private group, a private group, a private group, and a group of members (e.g., family member group, mountaineering member group, inline member group). , Sender member selection items, such as game member group, high school friend group, college friend group, etc., to select one member group, the whole group, or to select individual members. .

Therefore, the wireless terminal user can select whether to publish or send using the disclosure option and the dispatch target member selection item on the selection menu screen displayed through the monitor of the wireless terminal. If a target is selected (step 218), the information on whether or not to publish and the content to be sent and the content are transmitted (uploaded) to the content service server 106 via the network 104 (step 220).

On the other hand, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention described as uploading to the content service server by attaching a message for the separator to the content generated by the shooting of the camera, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, edit provided by the wireless terminal It is of course possible to set the content to be uploaded to the content service server after editing the content in a desired form.

Next, the content service server 106 stores the content received from the corresponding wireless terminal through the network 104 with the disclosure tag information in the member DB, that is, the content box of the personal homepage, and forwards the content received with the corresponding content. Based on the target selection information, the information of the wireless terminals to be sent is retrieved from the member information DB 108, and the corresponding contents are transmitted to the wireless target terminals through color mail and MMS (multimedia message service) (step 222).

For example, assuming that the wireless terminal user selects the entire disclosure and selects a climbing mountain group as a sending target, all members registered to the wireless terminal user access the personal homepage of the corresponding service member to view the contents. You will see, and only members classified as climbing member groups will receive the content (automatic download).

That is, according to the present invention, the user registers the content generated by his wireless terminal in his personal homepage through one process (uploading process to the content service server), and at the same time, only the members selected by the user. Can be sent (downloaded) simultaneously (step 224).

On the other hand, the receiving side wireless terminal stores the content when received from the wireless terminal in the memory area of the wireless terminal and at the same time operates the initial screen push algorithm to push the initial screen of the content of the wireless terminal (step 226). As a result, when the receiving wireless terminal user opens the screen of the wireless terminal, as shown in FIG. 3 as an example, the received content is pushed and displayed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by automatically pushing the received content to the initial screen, it is possible to further enhance the content accessibility of users.

Moreover, although the detailed illustration in FIG. 2 is omitted, the present invention realizes a message service between a transmitting wireless terminal user and a receiving wireless terminal user through an interconnection through content transmission, that is, a receiving wireless terminal receiving content. When a user composes a message (message) and transmits the received content, the message is transmitted in real time to the transmitting wireless terminal and each wireless terminal in the receiving group through the network, and these messages are displayed on the screen of each individual wireless terminal. It is a matter of course that the message service displayed on the monitor) can be realized in real time. Thus, users can be provided with a real-time message service through interconnection by content transmission.

Meanwhile, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the content generated by selecting a communicator function is registered as one's personal homepage and simultaneously sent to a desired member. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and general shooting Of course, it is possible to serve the same content obtained through the mode.

In this case, after creating content in the normal shooting mode and selecting "Send" in the menu mode, a menu with items such as "Color Mail", "My Album", "Communicator", etc. is displayed on the screen, and the user May select a one of these items to provide a content service implemented in accordance with the present invention when selecting the "Communication" item. That is, the "communicator" item on the menu screen means a selection item for performing the communicator function described in the present invention. Therefore, when the user selects the "communicator" item on the menu screen, the corresponding wireless terminal user will be provided with the service provided according to the present invention through the process from step 210 in FIG.
