The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a Short Message Service (SMS) message in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for presenting content using an SMS message.

Recently, as mobile communication terminals become more common, additional services for providing various contents for mobile communication terminals have been widely used. Such contents are provided by providers that provide contents when a request is made to download the contents from a terminal user. In general, operators providing content have a content providing server for providing content, and store the content in the above-described content providing server. Therefore, if there is a request to download the content from the terminal user, the content provider charges a fee through user authentication and provides the corresponding content to the terminal user. In addition, service providers are providing additional functions that can send content as a gift to other terminal users. In order to enable such a content presenting method, content providers are using callback SMS messages. The data format of the callback SMS message is divided into three parts: an application download URL (ADU), an application description (AD), and a comment. The ADU part stores the URL where the content is stored, the AD part stores the file name of the content, and the Comment part stores the message to use when inquiring the user whether to download the content. In addition, the data size of the callback SMS message is limited to 80 bytes including a delimiter (\ n) to distinguish ADU, AD, and comment.

Looking at an example of the prior art for presenting content using the callback SMS message as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2, if terminal A 106 wishes to present content to terminal B 108, terminal A 106 is present. ) Connects to the content providing server 102 connected to the mobile communication network 100. Thereafter, the terminal A 106 selects a content to be presented among the contents stored in the content storage server 102. At this time, the content providing server 102 transmits the file name and URL of the content selected by the user A 106 to the callback SMS server 104. Thereafter, the callback SMS server 104 creates and sends a callback SMS message including the file name of the content received from the content providing server 102, the URL, and the telephone number of the terminal A106 to the terminal B108. After that, when the terminal B 108 receives the callback SMS message transmitted from the content providing server 102, the terminal B 108 displays a message asking whether to download the content on the screen. Thereafter, if there is an input of a key for downloading the content, the terminal B 108 accesses the URL where the corresponding content is stored, and then downloads the content.

As described above, in order to present the already downloaded content to another terminal user, the terminal user needs to reconnect to the content providing server and search for the corresponding content again. This conventional content presenting method causes an increase in communication costs due to reconnection to a content providing server and waste of time for searching for content.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for using the callback SMS message including the URL of the content stored in the user's terminal to present the content directly from the terminal without accessing the content storage server.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for transmitting a content stored in a user's terminal to a counterpart user's terminal in a terminal having a content download function, in particular, a content presenting method using a callback SMS message including a URL. When the content is downloaded from a content providing server, downloading the content, matching a file name of the content with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) indicating a location of the content, and storing the content in a content storage table; Extracting a file name and a URL of the content stored in the content storage table when a key for presenting a content is input from the content storage table to create a callback SMS message including the file name, the URL, and the telephone number of the user; Send callback SMS messages from the user If there is a key input for the purpose, characterized in that it comprises the step of transmitting the created callback SMS message to the counterpart terminal.

In addition, in a content download method in a terminal having a content download function, when a message is received in a standby state, checking a type of a received message; and if the received message is a callback SMS message, included in the callback SMS message. Displaying a message on a terminal screen asking whether the user accesses the URL, and if there is a key input for accessing the URL, accessing a content providing server corresponding to the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and the callback SMS. Extracting the phone number of the counterpart user from the message, transmitting the content to the content providing server, and requesting to download the content; and downloading the content if there is an acceptance response to the request for downloading the content from the content providing server. Characterized in that it comprises a step.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description and the annexed drawings, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

The present invention proposes a method for using the callback SMS message including the URL of the content stored in the user's terminal to present the content directly from the terminal without accessing a content storage server.

Then, with reference to Figure 3 with respect to the operation of each of the internal components of the terminal to perform the content present using the callback SMS message including the URL according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the controller 300 processes and controls typical functions such as a telephone call and data communication. In addition, the control unit 300 controls to download the content when a key input for downloading the content according to an embodiment of the present invention described below, and to match and store the content name and URL in the content storage table stored in the memory unit 306. do. In addition, according to the present invention, the controller 300 checks whether there is a key input for presenting the content, and if there is a key input, extracts the content name and URL from the content storage table. In addition, the controller 300 performs a function of creating a callback SMS message including a file name, a URL, and a user's telephone number of the content extracted from the content storage table and transmitting the callback SMS message to the counterpart terminal. In addition, when receiving the callback SMS message, the controller 300 extracts a file name and a URL of the content from the received callback SMS message. In addition, the control unit 300 according to the present invention displays a message asking whether to download the content from the extracted URL. In addition, if there is a key input for downloading the content, the controller 300 controls to download the content, match the file name and URL of the downloaded content, and store the same in the content storage table.

A detailed description of the operation of the controller 300 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5.

The radio frequency (RF) module 302 transmits and receives a radio signal with a mobile communication base station through an antenna, and modulates a signal to be transmitted from the control unit 300 through the baseband processor 304 to convert an RF signal into an antenna. And demodulates an RF signal received through the antenna and provides the demodulated RF signal to the controller 300 through the baseband processor 304.

The baseband processor 304 processes a baseband signal transmitted and received between the RF module 302 and the controller 300.

The memory unit 306 stores various updateable storage data such as programs, reference data, and phone number information for processing and control of the controller 300, and is provided as a working memory of the controller 300. In particular, the memory unit 306 stores a content storage table for matching and storing content names and URLs when downloading contents according to the present invention.

The key input unit 308 corresponds to menus, selections, calls, erases, power / shutdowns, and volumes (0, 9), *, # keys, and various functions of the corresponding mobile communication terminal. It is provided with a plurality of function keys, such as volume) adjustment and provides the control unit 300 with key input data corresponding to the key pressed by the user.

The voice processor 310 processes a voice signal input or output to the mobile communication terminal for a phone call, voice recording, voice output, and the like.

The display unit 312 displays various image information and images stored in the reception or memory unit 306 on the screen under the control of the control unit 300.

Then, when the content is downloaded from the terminal configured as shown in FIG. 3, the file name and URL of the corresponding content are matched and stored in the content storage table, and a callback SMS message for presenting the content is created and transmitted to the counterpart terminal. Let's look at it with reference to 4.

In step 400, the controller 300 is connected to the content providing server according to an input for accessing the content providing server from the user. Thereafter, the controller 300 checks whether there is a key input for downloading contents. If there is a key input as a result of the inspection, the controller 300 proceeds to step 404 to download the content from the content providing server, matches the file name and the URL of the downloaded content, and stores the content in the content storage table stored in the memory unit 306 of the terminal. . If there is no key input for content download as a result of step 402, the controller 300 proceeds to step 400 and performs a corresponding function selected while maintaining a state of being connected to the content providing server. Meanwhile, in step 406 proceeding from step 404, the controller 300 checks whether there is a key input for content present stored in the terminal through the key input unit 308. In step 406, if there is a key input for presenting the content, the controller 300 proceeds to step 408. In step 408, the controller 300 extracts a file name and URL matching the selected content from the content storage table according to the user's key input, and generates a callback SMS message including the extracted file name and URL and the user's telephone number. If there is no key input for presenting the content as a result of step 406, the controller 300 performs another function until there is a key input for presenting the content. Meanwhile, the controller 300 proceeds from step 408 to step 410 to check whether there is a key input for transmitting the callback SMS message. If there is a key input to transmit the callback SMS message as a result of step 410, the controller 300 proceeds to step 412 and transmits the created callback SMS message to the counterpart terminal. If there is no key input for transmission of the test result in step 410, the controller 300 performs another function until there is a key input for transmitting the callback SMS message to the counterpart terminal.

Next, a process of downloading content by accessing the URL included in the callback SMS message when receiving the callback SMS message from the counterpart terminal in the terminal configured as shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

In step 500, the controller 300 maintains a standby state. Here, the standby state is a state waiting for a specific event to occur in the terminal. In operation 502, the controller 300 checks whether a message is received. When the test result message is received in step 502, the controller 300 proceeds to step 504 and checks the type of the received message. If the check result message in step 502 is not received, the controller 300 proceeds to step 500 and waits for a user's key input. On the other hand, the control unit 300 proceeds from step 504 to step 506 checks whether the callback SMS message or a general message. If the checked message is the callback SMS message, the controller 300 proceeds to step 508 and displays a message on the screen asking whether to connect to the URL included in the callback SMS message. If the message checked in step 506 is identified as a general message, the controller 300 proceeds to step 520 to perform a general message processing mode. In step 510 proceeds from step 508 the control unit 300 checks whether there is a key input for access to the URL displayed on the screen through the key input unit 308. If there is a key input for accessing the URL, the controller 300 connects to the content providing server corresponding to the URL. Thereafter, in step 514, the controller 300 extracts the phone number of the counterpart user from the callback SMS message, transmits the phone number to the content providing server, and requests the content to be downloaded. In operation 516, the controller 300 determines whether an acceptance response to the content download request is received from the content providing server. If there is an acceptance response to the content download request from the content providing server in step 516, the controller 300 downloads the content. If there is no acceptance response to the content download request from the content providing server as a result of step 516, the controller 300 waits for an acceptance response from the content providing server.

As described above, the present invention provides a method for transmitting content without accessing a content providing server when a user already transmits content already stored using a user terminal to a counterpart terminal. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problem of a communication fee to be paid by reconnecting to the content providing server to present the content already stored in the terminal to the counterpart user and a waste of time to search for the corresponding content again.
