Description

Mobile terminal and method for controlling wireless network service

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling QoS of a wireless Internet service.

As mobile communication technology develops day by day, a user using a mobile terminal can freely move and talk with the other party anytime and anywhere using voice or video call. By providing additional services, the service area is gradually expanding.

The wireless Internet service refers to a service that can obtain desired information such as voice, video, and data by connecting to the Internet in a wireless environment through a mobile communication network. In particular, wireless Internet service has the disadvantage that data transmission speed is relatively slow compared to wired network and content is limited compared to wired internet service, but it is possible to transmit and acquire real-time information anytime, anywhere and provide differentiated service for user. This is possible, and the width of the service is greatly expanded.

The wireless Internet service guarantees a certain quality of service (QoS) because it must use resources of a limited wireless network.

However, the QoS of wireless Internet service is generally fixed and does not reflect the characteristics of the service in use at all. For example, downloading a specific content when the low-speed QoS is set as the QoS of the wireless Internet service causes a considerable time delay due to the low-speed QoS, thereby causing consumer complaints.

In addition, even if a high-speed QoS is set as the QoS of the wireless Internet service, if only the navigation function is used, even if it is not used due to the high-speed QoS, it causes a waste of network resources and cannot use it efficiently. .

The present invention is to solve the above problems, by setting at least one QoS profile to be applied according to the situation and control the QoS of the wireless Internet service using a web browser based on this, to reduce the time delay of the service The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a method for controlling QoS of a wireless Internet service.

The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the QoS of a wireless Internet service to control the QoS of the wireless Internet service using a web browser, thereby improving the satisfaction of a user using the same as the time delay of the service is reduced. To provide.

In addition, the present invention is to set the at least one QoS profile to apply according to the situation and to control the QoS of the wireless Internet service using a web browser based on this, the wireless Internet service to efficiently use the resources of the limited wireless network The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a method thereof for controlling QoS of a mobile station.

To this end, the mobile terminal for controlling the QoS of the wireless Internet service according to an aspect of the present invention is a data session in which a first quality of service (QoS) is applied to a corresponding service server based on a preset QoS profile when a web browser is activated. And a control unit for requesting to change the first QoS applied to the data session to a second QoS according to a download request for content provided by the service server through the established data session. It may include a memory for storing the QoS profile including a second QoS.

In addition, a method for controlling QoS of a wireless Internet service according to another aspect of the present invention includes (a) applying a first Quality of Service (QoS) to a corresponding service server based on a preset QoS profile when a web browser is activated. Requesting to establish a data session, (b) requesting to change the first QoS applied to the data session to a second QoS according to a download request of contents provided by the service server through the established data session; (c) if the downloading of the content through the data session to which the second QoS is applied is completed, requesting a change of the second QoS to the first QoS.

Hereinafter, a mobile terminal and a method for controlling a quality of service (QoS) of a wireless Internet service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The present invention proposes a method for controlling QoS of a wireless internet service based on a web browser. That is, the present invention sets up a QoS profile that includes at least one QoS for application according to a situation, so that, for example, a web session through a web browser or a data session according to the corresponding QoS included in the QoS profile at the time of upload or download of content. By applying this, it is possible to control the QoS of the wireless Internet service.

1 is an exemplary view showing the configuration of a schematic system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the present invention may include a mobile terminal 110, a base station 120, at least one service server 130, a database (DB) 131, and the like.

The service server 130 may provide various wireless Internet services through wired and wireless Internet. The service server 130 may store and manage not only data related to the wireless Internet service, but also subscriber information about the corresponding service in the database 131. In particular, the service server 130 according to the present invention may change the QoS of the wireless Internet service at the request of the service provider or the user of the mobile terminal in order to stably provide such wireless Internet service.

The mobile terminal 110 may receive various wireless internet services by accessing a service server through a base station. In particular, the mobile terminal according to the present invention sets up a QoS profile including at least one QoS for application according to a situation, and then, based on the QoS profile when uploading or downloading web navigation or content through a web browser. This can be controlled to provide the service server with the corresponding QoS for applying to the session.

In this case, the QoS profile may include a preset QoS for applying to a data session according to at least one of web navigation, upload and download through a web browser. For example, the corresponding QoS can be set to 64 kbps / 64 kbps for web navigation with less data and the corresponding QoS can be set to 384 kbps / 384 kbps for upload or download of relatively large data content. .

The mobile terminal is a device capable of receiving a wireless Internet service through a web browser, and may be a concept including a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a notebook, and the like.

2 is an exemplary view showing a detailed configuration of the mobile terminal 110 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 110 according to the present invention may include a transceiver 210, an input unit 220, a controller 230, a display unit 240, a memory 250, and the like. .

When the web browser is activated, the controller 230 may request the service server to establish a data session applying the first QoS for web navigation to the corresponding service server based on a preset QoS profile. That is, the controller 230 generates a service request message including the first QoS, transmits the service request message to the service server through the transceiver 210, and receives a service response message in response thereto, thereby providing a data session to which the first QoS is applied. Can be set.

Thereafter, the controller 230 may request to change the first QoS to the second QoS for downloading the content according to the download request of the content provided by the service server. That is, the controller 230 generates a QoS change message including the second QoS, transmits the QoS change message to the service server through the transceiver 210, and receives a QoS response message in response thereto, thereby applying the second QoS applied data session. Can be set.

In this case, the memory 250 may store a QoS profile including the first QoS, the second QoS, and the like. This is to dynamically set QoS according to data amount in limited wireless network resources.

As described above, the present invention can reduce the time delay of the service by setting at least one QoS profile for application according to the situation and controlling the QoS of the wireless Internet service using the web browser based on the at least one QoS profile. Accordingly, the present invention can also improve the satisfaction of the user using the wireless Internet service.

3 is a first exemplary diagram illustrating a method for controlling QoS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, a mobile terminal may create a QoS profile according to a user's request (S310). For example, the QoS profile may include 64 kbps / 64 kbps as a first QoS for web navigation, and for downloading content. 64kbps / 384kbps may be set as the second QoS.

When the web browser is activated (S320), the mobile terminal can request a service server to establish a data session applying the first QoS for web navigation. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a service request message including a first QoS for web navigation based on a preset QoS profile (S330) and transmit the generated service request message to the corresponding service server (S340). Thus, the mobile terminal receives a service response message from the service server in response to this, so that a data session to which the first QoS, that is, 64 kbps / 64 kbps is applied, can be established between the mobile server (S350).

Subsequently, if there is a request for downloading content provided by the service server from the user (S360), the mobile terminal may request to change the first QoS applied to the data session to the second QoS. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a QoS change message including a second QoS for downloading content based on a preset QoS profile (S370) and transmit the generated QoS change message to the corresponding service server (S380). Thus, the mobile terminal receives a QoS response message from the service server in response to this, so that a data session to which the second QoS is applied, that is, 64 kbps / 384 kbps, can be established between the mobile terminal (S390).

In addition, when downloading of content through the data session to which the second QoS is applied is completed, the mobile terminal may request to change the second QoS applied to the data session to the first QoS. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a QoS change message including a first QoS for web navigation included in a preset QoS profile and transmit the generated QoS change message to the service server. Thus, the mobile terminal receives the QoS response message from the service server in response to this, so that the data session to which the first QoS, ie, 64 kbps / 64 kbps, originally established with the service server is applied, can be reestablished.

As described above, the present invention sets up at least one QoS profile to be applied according to a situation and controls QoS of a wireless Internet service using a web browser based on this, thereby efficiently using resources of a limited wireless network.

4 is a second exemplary diagram illustrating a method for controlling QoS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the mobile terminal may create a QoS profile according to a user's request (S410). For example, the QoS profile may include 64 kbps / 64 kbps as the first QoS for web navigation, and the content may be downloaded. 64kbps / 384kbps may be set as the second QoS.

When the web browser is activated (S420), the mobile terminal can request a service server to establish a data session applying the first QoS for web navigation. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a service request message including a first QoS for web navigation based on a predetermined QoS profile (S430) and transmit the generated service request message to the corresponding service server (S440). Thus, the mobile terminal receives a service response message from the service server in response to this, so that a data session to which the first QoS, that is, 64 kbps / 64 kbps is applied, can be established between the mobile server (S450).

In this case, the mobile terminal may detect a preset QoS change tag included in the initial web page provided according to the setting of the data session. For example, the QoS change tag may be <r3speedup nav = '64 / 128 'dwn =' 128. / 128 '> may provide 64 / 128kbps as the third QoS for web navigation and 128 / 128kbps as the fourth QoS for downloading content. This is to reflect the policy of the operator who operates the website.

The mobile terminal may check whether at least one QoS included in the detected QoS change tag matches some or all of the QoSs included in the preset QoS profile (S462). That is, if the at least one QoS included in the tag does not match the QoS included in the corresponding QoS profile, the mobile terminal may update the QoS profile (S464), that is, correspond to the QoS included in the QoS profile. It can be updated to match each of the QoS included in the QoS change tag.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal does not need to update the QoS profile if at least one QoS included in the tag matches some or all of the QoS included in the QoS profile.

At this time, the mobile terminal may request to change the first QoS applied to the data session to the third QoS based on the updated QoS profile, that is, generate a service request message including the third QoS for web navigation (S470). The generated service request message may be transmitted to a service server (S480). Thus, the mobile terminal receives a service response message from the service server in response to this, so that a data session to which the third QoS is applied, that is, 64 kbps / 128 kbps, can be established between the mobile server (S490).

Subsequently, if there is a download request for content provided by the service server from the user, the mobile terminal may request to change the third QoS applied to the data session to the fourth QoS accordingly. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a QoS change message including a fourth QoS for downloading content based on the updated QoS profile and transmit the generated QoS change message to the corresponding service server. Thus, the mobile terminal receives a QoS response message from the service server in response to this, so that a data session to which the fourth QoS, that is, 128 kbps / 128 kbps is applied, can be established with the service server.

Of course, when downloading of content through the data session to which the fourth QoS is applied is completed, the mobile terminal may request to change the fourth QoS applied to the data session to the third QoS. That is, the mobile terminal may generate a QoS change message including a third QoS for web navigation included in a preset QoS profile and transmit the generated QoS change message to the service server. Thus, the mobile terminal receives the QoS response message from the service server in response to this, so that the data session to which the third QoS, ie, 64kbps / 128kbps, which was initially set up with the service server is applied, can be re-established.

The mobile terminal and its method for controlling QoS of a wireless Internet service according to the present invention can be modified and applied in various forms within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
