The present invention relates to a schedule retrieval method using a short message service of a mobile terminal, and in particular, a short message that allows a user to share a schedule with a mobile terminal and searches a schedule through a short message service among registered users. It relates to a schedule search method using a service.

With the development of various service functions such as wireless Internet access, short message service, multimedia message transmission, program download, wireless online game, etc. provided by mobile communication service providers, portable terminals having various functions have been manufactured and sold. Examples include a phone book function, a memo pad function, schedule management, a game, video and still image shooting camera, a wake-up call, a call bell setting, and the like.

The schedule management function among the functions of the mobile terminal is a function for managing appointments, plans, etc. by day using a schedule and a date, and includes a sub-menu such as schedule, to-do, anniversary, memo, etc. You can enter date, time, repetition, alarm, and contents. If you register a schedule, to do the notification sounds when the registered date and time, and if you register the anniversary can be made to sound the day or the day before.

As described above, in addition to storing and confirming his / her schedule in the mobile terminal using the schedule management function, there is a service that can check the schedule information stored in the mobile terminal of the counterpart.

For example, there is a method of registering a user to share their schedule on the mobile terminal and transmitting the information to the sharer at regular intervals or when a new schedule is added. As another example, after uploading schedule information of a user to a server, There is a method of providing schedule information only when a terminal authenticated as a sharer of schedule information accesses a corresponding server.

However, in the conventional technology as described above, the method of informing the other sharers of the schedule at a predetermined time point to the user's portable terminal has a problem in that the schedule information cannot be provided when the sharer wants to search for the schedule.                         

In addition, when providing schedule information by uploading schedule information to the server, there is a problem in that a predetermined resource is allocated to the server.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can provide schedule information stored in a schedule database of a mobile terminal when a user sharing a schedule by using a short message service requests schedule information. The purpose is to provide a schedule retrieval method using a short message service.

According to an aspect of the present invention, in the method of providing a schedule from a first terminal to a second terminal, the user of the second terminal when the first terminal receives a short message requesting to provide a schedule Searching whether the user is registered as a schedule sharer, searching for schedule information requested by the second terminal in the case of sharing, and transmitting a short message including the retrieved schedule information to the second terminal. Characterized in that made.

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

1 is a block diagram of a mobile terminal according to the present invention. As shown therein, a mobile station modem (hereinafter, referred to as a 'MSM') 10, an LCD unit 11, a key input unit 12, and an RF The unit 13 includes a memory unit 14 and an audio unit 15.

When the user inputs a schedule and a user for sharing the schedule through the key input unit 12, the MSM 10 stores it in the memory unit 14 and the LCD unit 11 or the audio unit (at the scheduled date and time). Through 15) let the user know the schedule.

In addition, when the MSM 10 receives the short message through the RF unit 13, the MSM 10 determines whether the short message is a short message requesting schedule information rather than a general short message service. In case of searching the memory unit 14, the schedule information is returned in the form of a short message.

FIG. 2 is a ladder diagram illustrating a schedule providing method according to the present invention, and includes a first terminal providing a schedule and a second terminal receiving a schedule from the first terminal as shown in the drawing.

First, the first terminal registers a schedule and a user to share the schedule (S100), and the second terminal inputs a phone number of the counterpart terminal (the first terminal) for searching for the schedule (S101) and the corresponding schedule information. In step S102, a message having an ID of SMS_SCHEDULE is transmitted to the first terminal (S103).

The message has a general data burst message structure as shown in Table 1 below.

parameter ID_Value Teleservice Identifier 00000000 Broadcast Service Category 00000001 Originating Address 00000010 Originating Subaddress 00000011 Destination Address 00000100 Destination Subaddress 00000101 Bearer Reply Option 00000110 Cause Code 00000111 Bearer Data 00001000

The parameter corresponding to the teleservice ID is a determinant for distinguishing which service layer has been delivered to which service layer and which service layer has been delivered. In SMS, SMS_SCHEDULE is applied to the teleservice ID.

Message Identifier  SMS_SCHEDULE User Data  Date to search User Response Code  Search function

Table 2 shows a structure of data forming a short message transmitted by the second terminal requesting schedule information to the first terminal. The message ID is set to SMS_SCHEDULE to indicate that the short message is a short message requesting schedule information. In the user data, a date to search for a schedule is input, and in the user response code, information on whether a search function is present is input.

Therefore, upon receiving the message from the first terminal (S104), it is determined whether the ID of the message is SMS_SCHEDULE (S105), and if the ID is not SMS_SCHEDULE, it is processed as a general short message (S106), and if the ID is SMS_SCHEDULE, the schedule Search for and send a series of processes to the second terminal (S107 ~ S114).

The process of the case where the first terminal receives the message of ID SMS_SCHEDULE will be described in detail as follows.

First, determine whether the user of the second terminal transmitting the message corresponds to the user registered in the first terminal to share the schedule (S107), and if not the registered user, transmits a message notifying the user of the message to the second terminal. In operation S108, the registered user searches for a database in the memory where the schedule is stored in operation S109. At this time, the schedule search is to search for information on the schedule corresponding to the search date included in the message received by the first terminal.

If there is a schedule requested by the second terminal as a result of the schedule search, a message including corresponding schedule information is transmitted (S112), and if the schedule does not exist, a message indicating that the corresponding schedule does not exist. It transmits (S111).

At this time, a message including the schedule information may be configured as shown in Table 3 below.

Message Identifier SMS_SCHEDULE Total num Total number to send Current num Currently sending User Data Content of the result

That is, by setting the message identifier (Message Identifer) to SMS_SCHEDULE, it is possible to determine that the message includes the schedule information, and the total number of messages needed to inform the schedule information (Total Num) and the number of messages currently sent (Current Num). ) Is sent to the schedule information requested by the user of the second terminal.

Next, the second terminal receives the message (S113) and displays the corresponding content on the LCD unit (S114).

As described in detail above, the present invention can be provided with the schedule of the other party between the users of the mobile terminal sharing the schedule at a desired time, and does not need to allocate resources to the server to receive the schedule information of the other party It works.
