The present invention relates to a method for relay transmission of a message using a mobile communication terminal. More particularly, when one mobile communication terminal selects and transmits a predetermined message to another mobile communication terminal, the receiving mobile communication terminal has another method. It is to provide a method for relaying and transmitting a received message by selecting a mobile communication terminal.

At present, wireless communication is widely used due to the rapid development of mobile communication technology, and the number of Internet sites providing various services on the wireless Internet is increasing rapidly. In the Internet, as users talk online and send and receive letters, no human interaction occurs between users.

In addition, the lack of consideration and concern for others due to the characteristics of the modern society, where personalization tends to be more intense, is causing various social problems, and the virtual space of the Internet is making these problems more serious.

On the other hand, some people have their own merits, especially those who sacrifice themselves socially and dedicate themselves to others. Thus, to commend each other among these people can be a virtue of society and a driving force to change society more humanly. Some television programs have praised each other for this purpose, and they have received a lot of viewers' attention. In addition to these compliments, wishing for good luck for others will help human exchanges between people help to create a sound society.

However, it is difficult to exchange or praise each other in real life due to places and distance time constraints. However, when using a personal communication device such as a mobile terminal using a text or voice message, or a multimedia message, all of the above limitations can be overcome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a service for relaying and transmitting a message that compliments another person or a message that improves mood using a mobile communication terminal.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a message relay method of a message transmission server for retrieving and relaying at least one mobile communication terminal meeting a predetermined condition in a mobile communication network, wherein the message transmission server includes a first terminal. Providing a search result of searching for a plurality of mobile communication terminals corresponding to the first search condition when the predetermined message and the first search condition are received from the first terminal; If at least one second terminal is selected from the search results transmitted by the first terminal, transmitting a message to the second terminal; Searching for a plurality of mobile communication terminals corresponding to the second search condition if the second search condition is provided from the second terminal receiving the message, and providing the search result to the second terminal; If at least one third terminal is selected from the search results transmitted by the second terminal, transmitting a message to the third terminal; After setting the third terminal receiving the message as the second terminal, the third terminal is initialized, and the message transmission steps are repeated.

Also, the second search condition and the first search condition may be the same search condition, and in this case, the second terminal does not separately designate the second search condition.

In addition, the second terminal receiving the message may arbitrarily change the content of the received message. In this case, the second terminal accesses the message transmission server and changes the content of the transmitted message.

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

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a message relay transmission system for performing a message relay transmission method according to the present invention. The message relay transmission system according to the figure includes at least one mobile communication terminal (10, 20, 30) and a message transmission server 50 supporting a message relay service, the message transmission server 50 is a plurality of And a user database 55 which stores the mobile communication terminal telephone number with a predetermined index. In addition, the message transmission server 50 and the mobile communication terminals 10, 20, and 30 are connected through a mobile communication network or a wired or wireless Internet network.

The mobile communication terminals 10, 20, and 30 used in such a system have a predetermined web browser for a mobile communication terminal so that the wireless Internet can be used through the mobile communication network. Therefore, the user of the mobile communication terminal can use a variety of services by accessing the wireless Internet using this web browser.

Detailed communication equipments for enabling the mobile communication network and the wireless Internet use equipments that are already commercially available and will not be further described herein.

The message transmission server 50 stores a text or voice message or a multimedia message created from a mobile communication terminal in a predetermined storage means (not shown). By the request of the mobile communication terminal which created this message, the created message is transmitted to the other mobile communication terminal through the mobile communication network. This transmission includes at least one receiving side that meets a predetermined search condition among the telephone numbers of the mobile communication terminal stored in the user database 55 provided in the message transmission server 50 by the mobile communication terminal which composes the message to be transmitted. By selecting the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal.

In the user database 55 of the message transmission server 50 as described above, telephone numbers of a plurality of mobile communication terminals and a predetermined index for classifying users of each mobile communication terminal are stored together. When a predetermined search condition is input from one mobile communication terminal as described above, the message transmission server 50 searches the index of the user database 55 to search for at least one mobile communication terminal telephone number, and the search result is one side. By transmitting to the mobile communication terminal to be displayed on the liquid crystal display of one mobile communication terminal, when the mobile communication terminal selects the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal to be transmitted, the message transmission server 50 corresponds to the selected phone number Transmit to the mobile communication terminal.

This process is described in more detail below. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a message transmission method according to the present invention.

First, the first mobile communication terminal 10 accesses the wireless Internet through a mobile communication network using a built-in web browser. Then, the message relay server 50 is connected to start a message relay service (tentative name) (S10). In operation S11, the first mobile communication terminal 10 writes a message to be transmitted to a predetermined other mobile communication terminal through a web browser. Such a message may be a complimentary message to compliment a specific party, horoscope information indicating the horoscope of the day, circulating in a company, and the like, and includes a voice message, a text message, and a multimedia message.

Here, all operations such as the preparation of a message in the mobile communication terminal, the display of a plurality of mobile communication terminal phone numbers to be described later, and the selection of the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal to which the created message is to be transmitted are performed through the above web browser. will be.

On the other hand, the first mobile communication terminal 10 that has started the message relay service transmits a predetermined first search condition to the message transmission server 50, so that the user database 55 provided in the message transmission server 50 can transmit the first search condition. Search for at least one mobile communication terminal that meets the first search condition (S12). At this time, the search conditions are set to "be a person who owns a light car", "be a 70-year-old man", "be an employee of the company ○", and the like. To this end, when each mobile communication terminal registers in the user database 55 and inputs detailed information, each mobile communication terminal selects at least one index information from a predetermined index item or directly inputs a special keyword to be used for subsequent search. It is desirable to be able to. Of course, the mobile communication terminal stored in the user database 55 may have one or more indexes. When the message transmission server searches for at least one mobile communication terminal telephone number meeting the above first search condition, the mobile telephone terminal of the mobile communication terminal, registered index information, and profile of the mobile communication terminal user are first moved. By transmitting to the communication terminal 10 side to be displayed on the liquid crystal display provided in the first mobile communication terminal (10). Accordingly, the first mobile communication terminal 10 selects at least one mobile communication terminal from among the displayed mobile communication terminals, and sets the second mobile communication terminal 20 as a destination of a message created (S13).

Thereafter, the message transmission server 50 transmits the message created by the first mobile communication terminal 10 to the second mobile communication terminal 20 selected by the first mobile communication terminal 10 (S14). When the second mobile communication terminal 20 receives the transmitted message (S15), the second mobile communication terminal 20 uses the wireless Internet to search for another destination to which the received message is to be transmitted using a predetermined search condition. Whether to connect to the message transmission server 50, or directly enter the phone number of the mobile communication terminal that he knows whether to deliver the received message (S16). This decision is made in the web browser of the mobile terminal, for example with the received message, "Do you want to search the Internet for someone to forward the message?" Or "Would you like to select a friend on your phone to forward the message to?" A menu such as the second mobile communication terminal 20 can be selected by the user. When the user of the second mobile communication terminal 20 wants to search for a new destination through the Internet, the second mobile communication terminal 20 accesses the message transmission server 50 through the mobile communication network (S17). 2 If a user of the mobile communication terminal 20 wants to directly input a phone number of the mobile communication terminal, a menu for searching an address book of the second mobile communication terminal 20 is provided (S22).

In the above two cases, when the second mobile communication terminal 20 is connected to the message transmission server 50, the third mobile communication terminal 30 to deliver the message in the same manner as the steps of S12 and S13 described above. ) Is selected (S18). In this case, the search condition provided from the second mobile communication terminal 20 to the message transmission server 50 may be the same search condition as the first first search condition, or a new destination may be searched by the new second search condition. . Thereafter, the second mobile communication terminal 20 selects the third mobile communication terminal 30 from the search results provided from the message transmission server 50 (S19).

After the third mobile communication terminal 30 is selected by the second mobile communication terminal 20, the second mobile communication terminal 20 changes the message received from the first mobile communication terminal 10 and transmits the change. Determine whether to deliver as it is (S20). This determination can be made, for example, by selecting a menu such as "enter a new message" or "immediate delivery of a received message" together with the selection of the third mobile communication terminal 30. When the second mobile communication terminal 20 intends to change the message and transmits the message, the message transmission server 50 may provide a message creation menu to create a new message (S21).

As described above, when the writing of the message to be delivered and the selection of the third mobile communication terminal 30 to deliver the message are finished in the second mobile communication terminal 20, the message transmission server 50 transmits the message to the third mobile communication terminal. It transmits to the mobile communication terminal 30 (S23).

In addition, as in step S22, even when the second mobile communication terminal 20 directly enters the phone number of the third mobile communication terminal 30, the message transmission server 50 transmits a message to the inputted phone number side. .

Thereafter, the message is returned to the step S15 so that the message can be relayed by a plurality of mobile communication terminal and continuously delivered. At the same time, the third mobile communication terminal is set as the second mobile communication terminal and initializes the third mobile communication terminal.

The message relay service is terminated when one mobile communication terminal receiving the message being relayed stops transmitting to another mobile communication terminal.

According to the message relay transmission method according to the present invention, it is possible to deliver a message, such as a praise message to any mobile communication terminal selected according to a predetermined search condition. Therefore, the user who has received the complimentary message can happily select a user to compliment and deliver the received complimentary message or a complimentary message he / she newly created.

In addition, in the message relay transmission method of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal searched for transmitting a message may be made only to a user who agrees to receive a message related to a message relay service when registering with a message transmission server for the first time. have.

In addition, the message relay service may be efficiently operated by agreeing to the message relay service and paying a reward such as a predetermined prize to the user who delivers the received message to another user.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the user of one mobile communication terminal can deliver a pleasant message such as a complimentary message to his acquaintance or unspecified person, thereby providing a more human-friendly mobile communication related service. .

In addition, if the users actively use the message relay service according to the present invention, it is possible to guarantee the revenue from the message transmission to the mobile communication provider.
