Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for confirming the receipt of a short message in a mobile communication terminal, in which when a short message is transmitted, an acknowledgment flag is set in advance in the short message and is transmitted to the recipient, So that the caller can know whether or not the receiver confirms the transmission message. To this end, in the originating mobile communication terminal, a step of generating a short message and then transmitting and setting a reception confirmation flag included in the short message; Receiving at the receiving mobile communication terminal, receiving the short message, confirming the received short message, and determining whether the reception confirmation flag is set; Requesting acknowledgment of transmission of an acknowledgment message if the acknowledgment flag is set as a result of the determination; Transmitting an acknowledgment message to the acknowledgment message transmission approval request when the acknowledgment is processed in the receiving mobile communication terminal; In the originating mobile communication terminal, the step of indicating whether or not the transmission message is confirmed by the reception confirmation message.

Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal,

Brief Description of the Drawings Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure for confirming the reception of a short message in the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a method for confirming the receipt of a short message in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for confirming receipt of a short message in a mobile communication terminal to confirm whether a transmission message is received when a short message is transmitted.

SMS is introduced for the first time by defining a point-to-point service that enables the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) to send and receive messages of up to 155 octets between terminals for application to GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) .

The SMS is implemented by transmitting a message to a DBM (Data Burst Message) by setting the Service Option on the IS-95-A protocol of the wireless data communication to 6 or 14. In order to receive the SMS, Software must be added.

Therefore, in order to implement SMS, it can be implemented by adding SMC (Short Message Center), which is a network element that can process SMS to the existing network, and supplementing the network protocol.

The related protocol is defined in TIA / EIA / IS-637, IS-95-A is defined in the upper layer of TIA / EIA / IS-637 and supplementary contents of SMS network protocol are defined in TSB 79 have.

In the above-mentioned conventional SMS service, when the originating mobile communication terminal generates a short message and then sets a grade (normal / urgent / expedited) and transmits it, the receiving mobile communication terminal displays the importance of the short message according to the set grade, It is impossible to know whether or not the recipient has confirmed the transmission short message. Therefore, it is troublesome to check whether or not the short message has been received by making a daily call.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for transmitting a short message, The present invention provides a method for confirming receipt of a short message of a mobile communication terminal, which enables a sender to know whether or not to confirm a transmission message of a receiver.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile communication terminal, comprising: a source mobile communication terminal; a source mobile communication terminal; Receiving at the receiving mobile communication terminal, receiving the short message, confirming the received short message, and determining whether the reception confirmation flag is set; Requesting acknowledgment of transmission of an acknowledgment message if the acknowledgment flag is set as a result of the determination; Transmitting an acknowledgment message to the acknowledgment message transmission approval request when the acknowledgment is processed in the receiving mobile communication terminal; The originating mobile communication terminal displays whether the reception of the transmission message is confirmed by the reception confirmation message.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the SMS message reception confirmation method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure for confirming the receipt of a short message in the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the originating mobile communication terminal, a step (SP1) of creating a short message and then transmitting and setting a reception confirmation flag included in the short message is performed; Receiving a short message at the receiving mobile communication terminal, confirming the received short message, and determining whether the reception confirmation flag is set (SP2); If it is determined that the reception confirmation flag is set as a result of the determination, the mobile communication terminal requests approval of transmission of the reception confirmation message and transmits a reception confirmation message to the reception mobile communication terminal (SP3 )Wow; (SP4) indicating whether the transmission message is acknowledged by the acknowledgment message in the originating mobile communication terminal, and the operation of the present invention will be described.

First, a sender creates a short message and then sets and transmits an acknowledgment flag included in the short message (SP1). At this time, the mobile communication terminal automatically transmits a reception confirmation flag to all short messages transmitted thereto Set to be applied, or to set an acknowledgment flag individually for each short message transmission.

Then, the receiver receives the short message transmitted by the sender, confirms the received short message, and determines whether the reception confirmation flag is set (SP2).

If it is determined that the reception confirmation flag is set as a result of the determination, the mobile communication terminal requests approval of transmission of an acknowledgment message, and upon receipt of the acknowledgment from the receiving mobile communication terminal, (SP3).

At this time, the acknowledgment message includes acknowledgment of receipt and acknowledgment time.

Then, in the originator's mobile communication terminal, whether or not the reception of the transmission message is confirmed and the reception confirmation time is displayed by the reception confirmation message to notify the caller (SP4).

In other words, according to the present invention, when a short message is transmitted, an acknowledgment flag is preset in the short message and is transmitted. By the acknowledgment flag, the receiver transmits an acknowledgment message to the sender, .

It is to be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the invention, Various changes can be made within the scope of the present invention.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when an SMS message is transmitted, an acknowledgment flag is set in advance in the SMS message, and the receiver confirms that the receiver has transmitted an acknowledgment message to the sender, It is possible to know whether or not to confirm the transmission message, thereby improving the user's convenience.
