Description

Method of utilizing user-user information element and portable terminal using the same {METHOD OF UTILIZING USER-USER INFORMATION ELEMENT AND HAND-HELD TERMINAL PERFORMING THE METHOD}

The present invention relates to a method for using a user-user information element and a portable terminal to which the present invention is applied. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for transmitting a message written by a sender to a counterpart using a user-user information element and using the received message by the counterpart. The present invention relates to a method for using a user-user information element and a portable terminal to which the same is applied.

Generally, the main purpose of the mobile communication terminal is to make a voice call wirelessly, but various functions and services other than the voice call have been added to recent mobile communication terminals due to the development of technology.

As mobile handset companies around the world have adopted 3G (3G) mobile communication networks, video call service has emerged as a core business. The video call service is a service that allows voice calls and video services at the same time by phone and allows the user to view the call. When real-time transmission is required without delay, such as video call service, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has adopted a circuit-switched bearer that guarantees bandwidth, which is based on 3G-324M. However, you can also try video calling in a packet way.

Video call is the most representative service in 3G mobile communication network, and it is rapidly moving from 2G to 3G. In Korea, SKT and KTF have begun services on 3G networks, and LGT is commercializing services on 3.5G networks. The SKT and KTF systems connect video telephony with circuit-switched bearers, while LGT connects video telephony with packet-switched bearers.

Video calls have great advantages in that they can talk to the other party's face compared to the existing voice call, but the user of the video call inevitably exposes his / her face, body, and background to the other party. . Rejection caused by the exposure of personal privacy is the biggest reason why the video phone is not rapidly spreading, but it is not showing a great ripple effect to consumers. For this reason, alternative video and unsubscribe methods have been proposed to avoid receiving video calls.

In order to prevent the invasion of privacy as described above, the alternative image is a method of transmitting the substitute image as shown in FIG. 1 through a designated image or a video without sending the original image of the user. In addition, the user may store a background desired by the user as a substitute screen in advance in a portable terminal, and insert a substitute screen including a still image or a video in the video call instead of the background and transmit the same with the user's image. However, this alternative video technique has a problem in that the user who intentionally sends a replacement video knows that the user does not intentionally send the original video because the user intentionally transmits the replacement video.

Rejection is a function that was used not only for video calls but also for voice calls. When a receiver rings, the called party can deny the call by pressing a specific button.

Another method is Caller Information Sending Service (CISS), which allows callers to store the caller's information before calling the phone before starting the phone call. It is a service that transmits and displays multimedia information such as name, text, ringtone, image, and business card.

However, even in this case, there is a problem in that the caller cannot provide any information to the video call receiver unless the caller has previously stored information about himself.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and inserts a message to be transmitted from the calling terminal to the called terminal in a user-user information element and transmits the message to the called party, and the called party stores the received message in the form of phonebook data. It is an object of the present invention to provide a user-user information element utilization method and a portable terminal using the same.
