Description

Improved cellular messaging method {ENHANCED MESSAGE TRANSFER METHOD FOR TELECOMMUNICATION}

The present invention is a technology for transmitting a message such as SMS or MMS from a mobile phone or a web page to a mobile phone, and particularly attaches an emoticon or icon suitable for the content of a sentence to be delivered to the message or merges the message into a background. The present invention relates to an improved mobile communication message transmission technology that allows a user to display various automatic decoration conversion results and to send the selected result to the receiving terminal.

The use of SMS or MMS messages in mobile terminals has long been common. Recently, as the MMS message is spread, more various types of message transmission technologies are applied, and in particular, a web-to-PHONE message transmission form is widely used following the phone-to-phone. There is a need for a new message transmission technology that can provide greater satisfaction to the user.

Text-based emoticons can be attached regardless of the model of the receiving terminal, but icon characters that display pictures embedded in the terminal corresponding to the code when a specific code is transmitted, depending on the manufacturer of the terminal. Sometimes the code is different and these icon characters are not embedded at all.

In addition, when conversion to MMS is required, such as decorating using a background image, there is a problem in that transmission is impossible if the receiving terminal does not support MMS.

In addition, in the text decorating service, different results may be generated according to the specification of the receiving terminal, and a specific decorating decoration may not be transmitted by the specification of the receiving terminal. In addition, there is a problem that if the transmission of the randomly generated decorating result without considering the specification of the receiving terminal may not actually be delivered to the receiving terminal or output in a broken screen.

An object of the present invention can be sent to decorate a text message entered by the user in a variety of ways in the transmission of phone-to-phone and web-to-phone (WEB-TO-PHONE) message, the message is not delivered to the receiving terminal or broken SMS and MMS is transmitted It is designed to block and send text messages in a way that is optimized for the receiving terminal and to provide a message transmission technology that can give users greater satisfaction.

The first embodiment of the improved mobile communication message transmission method according to the present invention is (a) a plurality of text message conversion to convert the text message to a plurality of decorative messages by applying the display function supported by the specifications of the SMS and MMS receiving terminal Providing a scheme in advance; (b) receiving a text message from a user terminal; (c) converting the text message into a plurality of decorative messages according to the text message conversion method and providing the text message to the user terminal through a preview screen; (d) receiving one of the decoration messages from the user terminal; (e) receiving an originating command and a receiving terminal number from a user terminal; (f) acquiring information about the specification of the receiving terminal; (g) checking the display support range of the receiving terminal specification based on the information; And (h) if the checked decoration message is within the display support range of the receiving terminal, sending the selected decoration message to the receiving terminal.

The second embodiment of the improved mobile communication message transmission method according to the present invention is (p) converting a plurality of text messages converting a text message into a plurality of decorative messages by applying a display function supported by the specifications of SMS and MMS receiving terminals. Providing a scheme in advance; (q) receiving a text message from a user terminal; (r) receiving a receiving terminal number; (s) obtaining information about the specification of the receiving terminal; (t) checking the display support range of the receiving terminal specification based on the information; (u) converting the text message into a plurality of decorative messages according to the text message conversion method within the display support range of the receiving terminal specification and providing the user terminal through a preview screen; (v) receiving one of the decoration messages from the user terminal; (w) receiving an originating command from a user terminal; And (x) sending the selected decoration message to a receiving terminal.

According to the present invention in the transmission of phone-to-phone and web-to-phone (WEB-TO-PHONE) messages, the text message input by the user can be provided in various ways by the user's selection and provided to the receiving terminal, and the message is not delivered or the message is broken. It is effective to prevent output.

In addition, since the decorating result supported by the specification of the receiving terminal can be transmitted, even if the specification of the receiving terminal is low, MMS can be transmitted using SMS-based icon text or emoticon decorating.

An improved mobile message transmission technique in accordance with the present invention comprises the following two forms.

■ Improved message decorating recommendation technology

This technology is applicable to both web-to-phone and phone-to-phone, and it is optimal for the type of SMS or MMS message to be sent to the other party based on one or more criteria of text length, content, receiving terminal specification, and sender preference. Create a plurality and recommend it to the user.

1 is a view illustrating a form of decorating various types of message decorating forms for a text message input by a user in a web-to-phone method according to an embodiment of a mobile communication message transmission technology according to the present invention.

At this time, the message decorating itself may be extended / changed.

At this time, if it is determined that the specific decorating result is not applicable from the technical specification of the receiving terminal, it is preferable to set it so that it cannot be displayed or displayed in a blurred manner.

In this case, whether or not the optimum decorating selection or the decorating result according to the user terminal is not applicable may be applied after the sending, or may be applied to the preview of the optimal decorating using the reception number in the pre-sending step. In other words, it may be applied in advance, or when the user decorates without inputting the reception number, the user may apply the logic according to the present invention at the time of sending the feedback.

At this time, when the caller converts without inputting the received telephone number, all types of message decorators that can be provided are displayed. Then, when inputting a phone number for sending a message, the specification of the receiving terminal is provided and reflected in the recommended form of decoration, a report of a failure in sending the form, or a form of message decoration is arbitrarily available to the receiving terminal. You can optionally configure it to report the results of the shipment after making changes.

At this time, the case where the number of receiving cellular phone terminals is plural and they have different technical specifications from each other is also considered.

The present invention may find technical features in the process of applying various message decorating recommendation logic (ie, selecting and creating an optimal decorating in consideration of various cases) in sending a message to a web-to-phone.

In addition, the present invention may find a technical feature in the process of generating the optimal content according to the receiving terminal of the word substitution decorating (in the case of the image text) of the decoration of the MMS result generation. This can be applied to both phone to phone or web to phone.

■ Improved message conversion technology

When the user is logged in to the messenger service of the computer (e.g. MSN, NATE-ON), the MMS message sent from the mobile phone is displayed to be displayed in the messenger chat window. You can also send an MMS message.

The present invention may include the following technical elements in the process.

In the messenger, if a user designates a specific word or syllable as a picture or font, the word or syllable is automatically replaced when the word or syllable is used in a messenger conversation. (For example, if you designate a picture of rice in the syllable, "Bob," you can see a picture of rice instead of the letter "bob" if you say, "Did you see the sponge rice?")

 When the user presses MMS transmission in the chat window, the text and a picture image substituted for a specific word or syllable are transmitted to the service server according to the present invention, and the font, color, and size information of the text is transmitted together. Then, the service server according to the present invention brings the receiving terminal information, such as the model name, MMS version, LCD size, etc. of the user-specified receiving mobile terminal through interworking with the communication company server.

According to the received terminal information thus obtained, the service server according to the present invention performs one of the following:

① In case of receiving terminal that supports MMS reception of HTML format: HTML type MMS is arranged by placing input or substituted pictures and texts by using HTML tag and transmitting to HTML mobile phone.

② In case of receiving terminal that receives only single picture file (sis or gif format) by MMS: Creates a single picture file that meets the format supported by the user. Create a picture of and send it to the mobile phone received by MMS.

In this case, a better result image may be obtained by differently setting the reduction ratio of the text and the replaced picture. In other words, the picture can be recognized by the user even if it is significantly reduced, whereas in the case of text, it is difficult for the user to recognize it even if it is reduced to a relatively small magnification. It is desirable to shrink at a relatively high magnification and to reduce text at a relatively low magnification.

③ In case of MMS unsupported receiving terminal: Notifies the requester of transmission failure.

④ If the receiving model name is unknown or LCD size is unknown: Send to the receiving mobile phone with the smallest sized picture (eg 120x96).

Due to the difference in the size of the messenger dialog and the display window of the phone, it is inevitable that the sender sees in the chat window and the receiver sees in the mobile phone LCD window. This can improve the quality of the resulting image.

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

According to the present invention, the first embodiment and the second embodiment are distinguished according to the input timing of the receiving terminal number. That is, in the first embodiment, the receiving terminal number is input after the user's selection is made first, and in the second embodiment, the user's selection is made after the receiving terminal number is input first.

 The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8, and the second embodiment is a case where the receiving terminal number is input in the receiving terminal number checking step ST40 of FIG. 2. Let's explain.

In addition, steps that can be commonly applied to the first and second embodiments will be mainly described based on the first embodiment, and FIGS. 9 and 10 will focus on the features of the second embodiment that are distinguished from the first embodiment. Let's explain.

2 is a flow chart showing the overall operation of the improved mobile communication message transmission technique according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the decoration message is selected by the sender in the state in which the number of the receiving terminal is not specified. Therefore, the service system cannot present the decorative message optimized for the receiving terminal, so that various decorative messages are generated and displayed on the preview screen.

First, a plurality of text message conversion methods for converting a text message into a plurality of decorative messages by applying a display function supported by specifications of SMS and MMS receiving terminals are previously provided (ST10). That is, various text message conversion methods are set in advance so that deformation is applied to the text message input by the user by applying an emoticon, icon text, MMS, and the like in a decoration message generation step ST50. In addition, if the technology that can decorate text messages as well as emoticons, icon text, MMS is applicable to the present invention.

Then, a text message is input from the user terminal (ST20). In this case, the user terminal generally refers to a mobile phone or a personal computer capable of driving the web or the WAP browser, but does not operate the web or the WAP browser, but is equipped with its own decorative function module to operate various menu buttons directly within the terminal. The concept includes a terminal capable of performing a text message conversion process.

At this time, the user and the user terminal to be described later means the sender and the sender terminal. In addition, the receiving terminal means a terminal for receiving a decoration message sent by the user.

Once the text message is input from the user terminal, the capacity of the input text message is checked and the conditions for generating the decorative message are defined accordingly. The process of checking the capacity of the text message will be described in more detail later with reference to FIG. 3.

At this time, it is checked whether the number of the receiving terminal to receive the decoration message is input together with the input of the text message (ST40). If the receiving terminal number is input, the following process corresponds to the case of the second embodiment of the present invention, and then the procedure proceeds through the process described with reference to FIG. 9.

However, if the receiving terminal number is not input and the preview button or the like is pressed, this corresponds to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the service system converts the text message input by the user into a plurality of decorative messages according to the text message conversion scheme provided above, and provides the text message to the user terminal through the preview screen (ST50). A process of converting a decoration message will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 4.

When the preview screen is provided, the user selects one of the presented decorative messages (ST60) and inputs a receiving terminal number and issues an outgoing command to transmit the selected decorative message to the receiving terminal (ST70).

At this time, if the receiving terminal number is not known even if a calling command is given, transmission is impossible, so it is determined whether the receiving terminal number is set (ST80), and if the receiving terminal number is not entered and set, the user is prompted to enter the receiving terminal number. Request (ST90).

Since the receiving terminal number is input, it is preferable to send the decorative message after determining whether the decorative message selected by the user can be displayed in the specification of the receiving terminal. Therefore, information on the specification of the receiving terminal is obtained through its own local DB or communication company database connection, and the display support range of the receiving terminal specification is checked based on the obtained information (ST100). The process of acquiring the information on the specification of the receiving terminal and checking the display support range will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 7.

If the display of the decorative message selected by the user is allowed within the display support range of the received terminal specification checked through the above process (ST110), the transmission of the decorative message is completed by sending the selected decorative message to the receiving terminal (ST130).

However, if the display of the selected decorative message is not allowed at the receiving terminal, processing such as displaying a failure message, displaying a preview screen for reselecting the decorative message, or converting itself into a similar message that can be replaced by the service system, etc. It is performed (ST120).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of step ST30 of setting a decoration message generation condition by checking a capacity of a text message in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 1 presented above, an emoticon is generally inserted into an empty space of a text message because the emoticon is configured using a plurality of characters. Therefore, the shorter the length of the text message, the easier it is to insert an emoticon into the text message.

In addition, in the case of the icon text, as shown in FIG. 1, the icon text is inserted in the size of one letter per letter of the text message, so that a certain amount of free space is required in the text message.

In the case of MMS, the text message itself is replaced with an image or converted into an XHTML tag, and thus the text message is not limited by the capacity of the text message.

To summarize the above, it is necessary to set the minimum capacity standard (hereinafter referred to as the first standard) that can be set for emoticons, and the minimum capacity standard (hereinafter referred to as the second standard) which is larger than the first standard but can also set the icon character. You need to set In the case of MMS, there is no need to set a limit.

Reflecting the above, the following process proceeds.

First, the capacity of the text message is checked (ST30-1).

If the capacity is less than or equal to the preset 'first criterion' (ST30-2), the emoticon, icon text, and MMS are all included in the decoration message generation condition (ST30-3).

However, if the capacity is greater than or equal to the first criterion and less than or equal to the second criterion (ST30-4), only the MMS and the icon text are included in the decoration message generating condition except for the emoticon (ST30-5).

In addition, if the capacity is greater than or equal to the second criterion, all emoticons and icon characters are excluded from the decoration message generation condition and include only MMS (ST30-6).

The above limitations may be more limited in the range of the method applicable to the decoration message by setting in the subsequent process or addition of restrictions according to the specification of the receiving terminal.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of step ST50 of displaying a plurality of decoration messages as a preview screen in FIG. 2.

The service system is ready to show the preview screen to the user (ST50-1).

If the emoticon can be applied by the capacity checking step ST30 (ST50-2), a decorative message is generated by applying the emoticon to the text message and then added to the preview screen (ST50-3).

The same can be applied to the icon text, but as shown in FIG. 4, when the receiving terminal number is not input, the preview message does not provide a decorative message to which the icon text is applied and is received as shown in FIG. 8. If it is confirmed that the icon character is allowed in the terminal (ST105), the user may be configured to add the decorative message to the preview screen by applying the icon character (ST105-1).

In addition, if it is set to apply the PUSH MMS according to the setting of the service provider (ST50-4), to generate a decorative message by applying the PUSH MMS to the text message (ST50-5). A process of generating a decoration message applying the PUSH MMS will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 5.

Similarly, if the service provider is set to apply the NON-PUSH MMS (ST50-6), and generates a decorative message by applying the NON-PUSH MMS to the text message (ST50-7). A process of generating a decoration message applying the NON-PUSH MMS will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 6.

In addition, after querying the user's information (ST50-8), one or more of a preset user's gender, age, preference, and popularity of the content are analyzed according to preset conditions, and the decorative message is filtered based on the analysis result. Afterwards, the finally determined preview screen is displayed through the user terminal (ST50-9).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of generating a decoration message by applying a PUSH MMS (ST50-5) in FIG. 4 in more detail.

The PUSH MMS support terminal refers to a terminal that can display a document composed of XHTML tags. These documents include pictures and characters. If you specify the size, color, and font of a character in the document, PUSH MMS-enabled terminal displays the document on the screen according to the size, color, and font. In addition, if a text or a picture is out of the LCD screen range of the terminal, automatic word wrap is performed, so it is not necessary to consider a line break when creating a preview picture or transmitting a generated picture.

First, prepare to generate an XHTML document (ST50-5-1).

Then, a combination of a text object and a picture object is generated by applying a decorative picture provided in advance to the text message (ST50-5-2).

After that, the generated result is read sequentially to read the entire result (ST50-5-3).

If the read object is a picture (ST50-5-4), enter the name of the picture file in the currently created XHTML document (ST50-5-7). At this time, if the current tag is not a picture input tag (ST50-5-5), the picture input tag is input before the picture file name is input (ST50-5-6).

In addition, if the read object is a character, the character is entered in the currently generated XHTML document (ST50-5-10). In this case, if the current tag is not the character input tag (ST50-5-8), the character input tag is input before the character input (ST50-5-9).

After all the objects of the result are read out through the above process and the inspection is completed (ST50-5-11), the generation of the decoration message of the PUSH MMS type is completed by ending the currently generated XHTML document (ST50-5-12).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of generating a decoration message (ST50-7) by applying NON-PUSH MMS in FIG. 4 in more detail.

NON-PUSH MMS terminal refers to a terminal that supports MMS but cannot recognize documents in XHTML. Therefore, picture files in the form of SIS, GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, etc. must be generated and transmitted, and these picture files must be generated as a single picture file by combining all of the sentences input by the user and a decorative picture.

In case of NON-PUSH MMS terminal, picture file suitable for LCD screen of receiving terminal should be generated. If it is out of horizontal range of LCD screen, text and decorative picture should be input after line wrapping. In addition, when inputting fonts using vector fonts into the generated picture files, the optimal font size must be determined in consideration of the LCD screen size, the size of the entire sentence, and the readability. Decorative pictures also need to be scaled down if they are too large for the LCD screen.

First, a picture file of a specific format is prepared, and an appropriate text size is determined in consideration of the set LCD screen size, text message capacity, and readability (ST50-7-1). At this time, since the specification of the receiving terminal is not determined, the service system sets the LCD screen arbitrarily to an arbitrary size.

Then, a combination of a text object and a picture object is generated by applying a decorative picture provided in advance to the text message (ST50-7-2).

Thereafter, the generated result is read sequentially to read the entire result (ST50-7-3).

If the read object is a picture (ST50-7-4), the corresponding picture object is enlarged and reduced to fit the set LCD screen size (ST50-7-7) and input into the picture file being created (ST50-7-8). ). At this time, if the input picture object is out of the horizontal range of the LCD screen (ST50-7-5), the corresponding picture object is wrapped in the currently created picture file (ST50-7-6).

In addition, if the read object is a character, the character is input to the image file being created (ST50-7-11). In this case, if the text object to be input is outside the horizontal range of the LCD screen (ST50-7-9), the text object is wrapped in the image file currently being created (ST50-7-10).

After all the objects of the result are read out and the inspection is completed (ST50-7-12), the generation of the decoration message of the NON-PUSH MMS type is completed by ending the conversion of the picture file of the specific format currently being generated (ST50-7-12). -7-13).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of checking a specification of a receiving terminal (ST100) in FIG. 2 in more detail.

Once the receiving terminal number is given, it is a process for checking the specification of the receiving terminal, which is a process to go through to determine whether the decorative message selected by the user is suitable for sending to the receiving terminal. In addition, in the second embodiment to be described later, the receiving terminal number is given first and may be applied to generate a preview screen accordingly.

The specification of the receiving terminal can obtain information about it when accessing each communication company DB. You can also build your own local DB in the service system.

In order to build a local DB, a user inputs terminal specification information when the user subscribes to a service, and builds a local DB by storing terminal specification information input from multiple users. If the user changes the device, the changes are reflected in the local DB. In the case of using the local DB constructed through such a process, the model information inquiry of the terminal is performed quickly. As the number of subscribers increases, the possibility of holding the receiving terminal number increases, so that the search is easily performed.

First, N input terminal numbers are stored, and inquiry is sequentially started from the model name of the first receiving terminal number (ST100-1). In the inputting step of the receiving terminal number, it is possible to input several numbers to receive the message.

Then, before searching the carrier DB, search the local DB first (ST100-2), and if there is no corresponding receiver terminal number, access the carrier DB such as LGT, KTF, SKT, etc. and query the receiver terminal information (ST100-). 3) Obtain the corresponding receiver terminal information (ST100-4).

Then, it is checked whether the icon character is supported in the receiving terminal (ST100-6), and records whether the icon character is supported (ST100-7).

In addition, it is checked whether the receiving terminal supports MMS (ST100-8), and records whether the MMS supports (ST100-9). If MMS is supported receiving terminal, check and record the type of MMS supported (PUSH MMS, NON-PUSH MMS) (ST100-10).

Through the above procedure, the receiving terminal specification is checked for all receiving terminal numbers (ST100-11).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating in detail the operation of the steps ST110 and ST120 of examining the suitability of the decoration message selected by the user based on the check result of the reception terminal specification in FIG.

If it is set to not apply the icon character in the step (ST50) showing the decorative message as a preview screen in FIG. 4, since the specification of the receiving terminal is understood at this time, even if a call command is given, the preview is applied once the icon character is applied. It is desirable to show the screen first.

Therefore, if the icon text is not applied to the preview screen (ST105), the receiving terminal determines whether the icon text is supported (ST105-1), and if the icon text is supported, the icon message is applied to the text message to decorate the message. Create and add to the preview screen (ST105-2). Then, it provides a preview screen to select the decorative message again (ST130-4).

Next, when the display of the decoration message selected by the user is allowed within the display support range of the receiving terminal specification (ST110), the decoration message is transmitted as described above with reference to FIG. 2 (ST130). The process is as follows.

First, if the receiving terminal does not support MMS (ST130-1) provides a failure message to send (ST130-2), and the decorative message failed to send in the preview screen (ST130-3). In addition, a preview screen for reselecting a decoration message is provided (ST130-4). The processing matters when this cannot be sent is not essential and can be set selectively.

However, if the receiving terminal supports MMS but cannot send because the type of MMS applied to the decorative message does not match (ST130-5), after regenerating the decorative message by applying the MMS type allowed by the receiving terminal to the text message, (ST130-6) Can now be configured to provide the user with a preview screen to reselect decorative messages.

If the process returns to step ST60 of selecting the decoration message again, the user may select another decoration message instead of the decoration message that failed to be sent.

9 is a flowchart illustrating the overall operation of the improved mobile communication message transmission technique according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The second embodiment of the present invention corresponds to the case where the receiving terminal number is input in the receiving terminal number checking step ST40 of FIG. Since the receiving terminal number has been input, it is possible to obtain information on the specification of the receiving terminal, and even a user who wants to send a message can present a decorative message optimized for the receiving terminal through a preview screen.

Therefore, the second embodiment does not require a complicated process due to a mismatch between the decorative message selected by the user and the display range allowed by the receiving terminal as in the case of the first embodiment.

2, if the user inputs a text message and inputs a receiving terminal number to which the text message is to be transmitted (ST40), the service system checks the specification of the receiving terminal (ST210). In the process of checking the specification of the receiving terminal, the specification checking step ST100 of the receiving terminal described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 7 may be applied in the same manner.

Subsequently, according to the text message conversion scheme provided above within the display support range of the specification of the receiving terminal, the text message input by the user is converted into a plurality of decorative messages and provided to the user terminal through the preview screen (ST220). ). A process of converting a decoration message will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 10.

When the preview screen is provided, the user selects one of the presented decorative messages (ST230) and issues a send command to transmit the selected decorative message to the receiving terminal (ST240).

Since the receiving terminal number is already input, the decoration message is completed by sending the selected decoration message to the receiving terminal (ST250). Since only the decorative message seen in the receiving terminal has already been presented in the step ST220 of presenting the preview screen, it is not necessary to consider a case in which the decorative message fails to be sent as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of step ST220 of displaying a plurality of decoration messages as a preview screen in FIG. 9 in more detail.

As in the case of the first embodiment, the service system is prepared to show the preview screen to the user (ST220-1), and if the emoticon is applicable (ST220-2) after generating the decorative message by applying the emoticon to the text message; It is added to the preview screen (ST220-3).

In addition, unlike the first embodiment, since the specification of the receiving terminal has already been examined, if the receiving terminal supports icon text (ST220-4), the preview is generated after generating the decorative message by applying the icon text to the text message. Add to the screen (ST220-5).

If the receiving terminal supports MMS (ST220-6), it checks whether the PUSH MMS is supported (ST220-7), and if the PUSH MMS is supported, applies the PUSH MMS to the text message to generate and preview the decorative message. Add it to the screen (ST220-8). In addition, since the PUSH MMS support terminal can also support the NON-PUSH MMS, the terminal generates a decoration message by applying the NON-PUSH MMS to the text message and adds it to the preview screen (ST220-9).

However, in the case of the non-PUSH MMS receiving terminal that cannot support the PUSH MMS, the text message is converted into a decorative message and added to the preview screen by applying only the NON-PUSH MMS except the PUSH MMS.

For reference, the process of FIG. 5 of the first embodiment described above is applied to the process of generating the decoration message applying the PUSH MMS, and the process of FIG. 6 is applied to the process of generating the decoration message applying the NON-PUSH MMS. 6, the size of the LCD screen is arbitrarily set, but in the second embodiment, the size of the LCD screen of the receiving terminal specification is applied.

In addition, after inquiring the user's information (ST220-10), one or more of a preset user's gender, age, preference, and popularity of the content are analyzed according to preset conditions, and the decorative message is filtered based on the analysis result. Afterwards, the finally determined preview screen is displayed through the user terminal (ST220-10).

11 is an exemplary diagram showing a decoration message conversion result for providing to a terminal that MMS is not supported.

If you enter a text message 'Norayo go to your house ~' through the user terminal, the service system provides a list of various auto decorating results based on the input message.

Here, as a case where the receiving terminal model was previously recognized as an MMS unsupported phone before providing the preview, a result list to which emoticons and icon characters were applied is presented.

The left three preview results are the result of inserting an emoticon into the idle space at the bottom of the text message. In the case of an SMS terminal that does not support MMS, only black and white emoticons can be displayed.

The preview result on the right side is the result of inserting the icon text into the content of the text message. The icon text is actually transmitted in advance of the predetermined code instead of the image data.

12 illustrates an example of a decoration message conversion result for providing to a terminal supported by MMS.

Here, as a case where the receiving terminal model is an MMS supporting phone, a result list to which emoticons, icon texts, and MMS images are applied is presented.

The left and right preview results are black and white emoticons, but the second and third preview results indicate that color emoticons that can be received by the MMS terminal are used. From the list of results presented, the user can select and send a favorite result.

13 is an exemplary view of a decoration message generated by inserting an MMS image between letters of an input text message.

In other words, if the word shape and text color of the text message are decorated and a recognizable word is found in the text message, a small picture associated with the word is inserted.

14 is an exemplary diagram of a decoration message generated by replacing letters of an input text message with an MMS image.
