The WIPI (Wireless Internet Platfrom for Interoperability) corresponds to a wireless Internet platform standardized to mount application or content data on a mobile communication terminal, as is well known.

5 is a diagram illustrating an SMS data format of the WIPI standard. The present invention provides a service providing server providing the idle screen service to generate object data in an SMS data format of the WIPI standard. In addition, since the format can be used in common to all mobile operators (mobile communication service providers), it is possible to further increase the versatility and usability of data through the above configuration.

As described above, the corresponding service provider may change the existing service data format of its own form into object data based on the format in order to generate and transmit the object data as described above. Of course it can be generated.

The idle screen service has unique characteristics for each mobile carrier, and in order to reflect this and maintain the efficiency of billing, identification is uniquely given to each service provider in the CLASS area of the SMS data format shown in FIG. A code may be set and configured to be utilized when the identification code is matched with a service of a corresponding terminal.

In addition, in order to implement a system for providing a standby screen service to a user of a mobile terminal using data having a public or public interest, without distinguishing a mobile communication company, that is, a service provider, the CLASS area is common to all service providers. It is more preferable to set the common code to be given, and to configure the common code to be used without distinguishing the communication service provider of the mobile terminal.
