1 is a block diagram of a multimedia message transmission network to which the present invention is applied.

2A and 2B are a flow diagram of a multimedia message transmission process according to the present invention;

3 is a diagram illustrating a user interface state according to a multimedia message transmission procedure in a mobile communication terminal.

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message, and more particularly, to provide a template for creating a multimedia message, so that a user can easily compose a multimedia message using the template. And a recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the same.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a service defined in the International Standard Recommendation 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Technical Specification (TS) 22.140 and 23.140. It is a service to transmit and receive multimedia data.

The MMS presented in the standard recommendation adopts a store and forward method as a message transmission method. A multimedia message is sent encapsulated with media content, information needed to describe the media content, and address information identifying the recipient of the message. The multimedia message is transmitted from the sender terminal to the multimedia messaging service center (MMSC), which notifies the receiver terminal of the receipt of the message. The multimedia message stored in the multimedia messaging service center is transmitted to the receiver terminal by the receiver request.

1 shows a network configuration for transmitting a general multimedia message.

The second generation user terminal 11 is connected to the MMS relay 19 through the second generation mobile network 13, and the third generation user terminal 12 is connected to the MMS relay via the third generation mobile network 14. 19). The roaming MMS user terminal 15 is then connected to the MMS relay 19 via the mobile access network 16 and the Internet / IP network 18. The external server 23 and the wired email client 17 can also be connected to the MMS relay 19 via the Internet / IP network 18. An MMS server 20 and a user database DB are connected to the MMS relay 19. The MMS server 20 is connected with a message storage unit 21 for storing the received multimedia message.                         

In such a network, a user composes a multimedia message to transmit the multimedia message to a specific receiver terminal. As described above, the multimedia message includes a text, a video or a still image, an audio, an audio, and the like. In order to transmit a message including such various data, the user selects a message editing menu, creates a desired message by combining text, graphics, video, and audio, and then transmits the message. However, such a conventional method consumes a lot of time for the user to compose a multimedia message, which in turn makes the user difficult to use the multimedia messaging service.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a template for creating a multimedia message to a user terminal in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, so that a user can easily create and transmit a multimedia message using the template. To provide a multimedia message transmission method and a recording medium recording the same.

A second step of creating a message according to the message; If a video and music album creation is required, displaying a menu list for creating the video and music album on a screen; When a specific menu is selected from the list of menus displayed in the third step, the content or the content produced by the mobile communication terminal based on the content produced by the mobile communication terminal or downloaded from a separate server located in the mobile communication network. A fourth step of creating an image and a music album according to a selected menu from a menu list displayed in the third step based on contents downloaded from a separate server located in a communication network; A fifth step of displaying a menu list for the effect period on the screen when an effect period for the written sentence is selected after the message is completed; Setting a display format of the written sentence as an effect of a selected list of the effect period menu list displayed in the fifth step, when a specific menu list is selected from the effect period menu list displayed in the fifth step; And a seventh step of transmitting the multimedia message when information for transmitting the multimedia message is input by the user.

In addition, the present invention provides a processor comprising: a first step of displaying a menu list for writing a message on a screen when a message is requested by a user in a processor of the mobile communication terminal; If a particular menu is selected from the menu list displayed in the first step, the menu selected from the menu list displayed in the first step is based on the content produced by the mobile communication terminal or the content downloaded from a separate server located in the mobile communication network. A second step of creating a message according to the message; If a video and music album creation is required, displaying a menu list for creating the video and music album on a screen; When a specific menu is selected from the list of menus displayed in the third step, the content or the content produced by the mobile communication terminal based on the content produced by the mobile communication terminal or downloaded from a separate server located in the mobile communication network. A fourth step of creating an image and a music album according to a selected menu from a menu list displayed in the third step based on contents downloaded from a separate server located in a communication network; A fifth step of displaying a menu list for the effect period on the screen when an effect period for the written sentence is selected after the message is completed; Setting a display format of the written sentence as an effect of a selected list of the effect period menu list displayed in the fifth step, when a specific menu list is selected from the effect period menu list displayed in the fifth step; And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the seventh step of transmitting the multimedia message when information for transmitting the multimedia message is input by the user.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the following description of the multimedia message transmission method according to the present invention will be omitted for the general technical content that can obscure the technical gist of the present invention. Further, the detailed description according to the present invention described below only describes one example, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be easily modified from the technical idea according to the present invention.

2A and 2B are flowcharts illustrating a process of creating and transmitting a multimedia message according to the present invention. 3 illustrates a graphical user interface of a terminal for creating and transmitting a multimedia message according to the present invention. In order to help the understanding of the present invention, the following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 2A, 2B and 3.
