Description

Mobile service provision method of mobile terminal {METHOD FOR PROVIDING MOBILE SERVICE IN WIRELESS TERMINAL}

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a mobile service in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a mobile service providing method of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile service providing method of a mobile terminal that can provide information services more easily and conveniently using a wireless Internet service.

As the use of portable terminals has become more common, the interest and demand for data communication using portable terminals have increased greatly. The simplest data communication method using a mobile terminal is a short message service provided by mobile phone providers.

However, the short message service is extremely difficult to transmit useful information other than the return phone number because the length of the message that can be transmitted is very short, so that greetings or other greetings can be exchanged among acquaintances, or the mobile phone provider provides the guidance message to the subscriber. It is only used to.

The most common service that a mobile device user uses to obtain the information he / she needs is a wireless Internet service provided by a wireless carrier or an information provider (CP) affiliated with them based on a wireless application protocol (WAP). can do. Most of the mobile terminals used to use the wireless Internet service are cellular phones that are optimized for voice communication-oriented purposes. Since such cellular phones have a small display, they can display only a small amount of information at a time. Uncomfortable and small keypad is the only means of input. Accordingly, the information retrieval of the wireless Internet is absolutely dependent on the directory-based menu method.

Considering the limited input / display environment of the terminal as described above, when the information provider composes a directory-based hierarchical menu, the number of selection items included in each menu is reduced and the depth of the overall menu is deeply designed. It is customary.

Therefore, the wireless Internet user has to go through a multi-step menu selection / confirmation procedure to find the contents he / she needs using the service, and in many cases, the user returns to the upper menu and repeats the menu selection / confirmation again. Accordingly, there has been a problem of investing a lot of time and money in obtaining information.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing a mobile service of a portable terminal, which can be easily and conveniently used for providing an information service using a wireless Internet service.                         

The present invention for achieving the above object, if the mobile service is selected, displaying the type of the mobile service; Receiving and displaying a lower service type and information of the selected schedule service through a wireless Internet connection when a schedule service is selected among the types of the mobile service; When a certain sub-service is selected from among the sub-service types, it is characterized in that the process of performing automatic call connection to the corresponding company providing the sub-service at the same time as the wireless Internet access is blocked.

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

It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation and operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a mobile service in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the practice of the present invention, the telecommunication service provider contracts with a corresponding company that can provide products for which users are expected to use by category, and establishes a network with the corresponding company. The user of the mobile terminal allows a certain level of personal information disclosure to companies that agree to receive advertisement texts or surveys among the companies specified in the contract at the communication service subscription stage, and receives advertisement information from the companies.

Referring to FIG. 1, when the mobile service is selected from the menu of the portable terminal, the controller for controlling the overall operation of the portable terminal detects it in step 101 and displays the type of the mobile service on the display of the portable terminal. Proceed to step 102. The type of the mobile service may be displayed as an icon or a letter according to a setting.

When the user of the mobile terminal selects a certain mobile service among the types of the mobile service, the controller detects it in step 103 and proceeds to step 104 of displaying the first subservice types of the selected mobile service on the display unit.

If the user selects a certain service from among the types of the first sub-services, the controller detects it in step 105 and proceeds to step 106 of automatically accessing the wireless Internet.

If service information including the user information stored in the server and the information of the currently connected base station is received through the wireless Internet connection, the control unit detects the information and the second subservice type and information of the selected service through the received service information. Proceed to step 107 to display.

The information on the second sub-service displayed in step 107 is location information of the corresponding company for providing the selected service, information of the corresponding company close to the address to which the user has subscribed, and the corresponding company close to the current location of the user. Indicates information.

If a certain service is selected from the second subservice type and information displayed in step 107, the controller detects it in step 108 and blocks the access to the connected wireless Internet and simultaneously makes an automatic call connection to the corresponding service provider of the selected service. Proceed to step 109 to perform.

Through the call with the corresponding company, the user can talk about the requirements for the desired service. In this case, when the user selects payment because the payment request is made from the corresponding company, the controller detects it in step 110 and proceeds to step 111 in which a predetermined amount to be paid in order to receive the service. In step 111, the user may perform a payment function through a mobile bank and a card using the mobile terminal.

When the payment is completed and the message for the payment confirmation is received, the controller detects this and proceeds to step 112 of displaying the payment confirmation message on the display unit of the mobile terminal. Alternatively, the payment amount may be paid by using the points accumulated by the corresponding company's advertisement reception and survey.

Referring to the process of FIG. 1 by way of example, when the user selects a mobile service, the display unit in step 102 is a type of mobile service "1. insurance / financial services", "2. food delivery services", " 3. Transportation reservation service ".... is displayed.
