BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a text message transmission to a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal and a method for transmitting a message using a short message service to create a long message and transmit the text message to a receiver at a set condition, order and time. .

The portable terminal communicates using a voice signal while moving, and the service is called a mobile communication service, and a service other than the mobile communication service is called an additional service.

There are a variety of additional services, and there is a short message service (SMS) that communicates using text.

The short message service transmits a text message of less than 80 bytes (BYTE), and the communication cost is low, and due to the advantages of being able to perform non-real time communication and storing the communication contents in a memory and repeating it at any time The service to use.

However, if the message content exceeds 80 bytes, the short message service repeats the process of reselecting the short message service menu by inputting a corresponding function button, re-entering the recipient's phone number and the message content, and transmitting the message again. There is a problem inconvenient to use.

As a partial improvement of the problem of the short message service, there is a Chinese message service, but the problem of the Chinese message service is still limited to 160 bytes.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a technique for conveniently transmitting a long message using a short message.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a text message transmission method of a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal which divides a long message into pages by using a short message service, sets a bundle, and conveniently and quickly makes a reservation transmission to a selected recipient in a specified order.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal and a method of transmitting a text message of the portable terminal for transmitting all or part of a written message to another recipient.

The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, the control unit 20 for creating a text message, control the monitoring of the page-by-page classification and grouping designation and the designation of the transmission order and reservation transmission, and searching for and input the recipient number; A message unit (100) for creating a text message under the control of the controller, classifying and modifying in units of pages, and designating one or more selected pages as a bundle; A transmission sequence unit (90) for specifying a page-by-page sequential transmission, an individual transmission, and a random transmission order of text messages under control of the controller; Under the control of the control unit, a reservation unit 80 for designating a transmission time of an entire reservation, an individual reservation, a bundled reservation, and an interval reservation is characterized in that the configuration is included.

In addition, the present invention devised in order to achieve the above object, the process of determining whether to input the text message by the control unit of the mobile terminal to transmit in the normal mode; When the text message is transmitted in a general mode, inputting a text message and a recipient number in a page size; When the text message is transmitted in the selection mode, operating a selection mode routine, a transmission sequence routine, and a reserved transmission routine; When the text message is designated without prior transmission priority and is not modified, the text message is transmitted to the selected receiver.

Hereinafter, a mobile terminal and a message transmission method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a functional configuration diagram of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a message transmission method of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a selection mode according to the present invention. 4 is a routine flow chart according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a reserved transfer routine flow chart according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is a receiver routine flow chart according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is an example of the present invention. It is a diagram of the routine operation status of the input message.

In addition to the communication channel for transmitting and receiving communication signals, a control channel or data channel for transmitting and receiving operation information and control information is allocated between the base station and the mobile terminal of the mobile communication system.

The control channel or data channel is fixedly assigned to each base station, but the operation rate is not high.

In general, since a text message is transmitted in real time using a control channel or a data channel having a low operation rate as described above, in terms of a service provider, additional revenue is secured even when a low usage fee is imposed while increasing the operation rate of the channel. There is an advantage to doing that.

In terms of the subscriber using the text service, there is an advantage that the service usage fee is low, and at the same time, the message can be received and recorded in non-real time, and can be repeatedly checked at a leisure time.

The size of data allocated for the message transmission is limited to within 400 bytes (BYTE) at maximum, and an overhead OVERHEAD indicating a characteristic or property of the data is further added.

The message service is classified into various types and sizes of data transmitted according to a commercial purpose of a service provider. In one embodiment, a short message service (SMS) for transmitting text data within 80 bytes (BYTE) is provided. SERVICE), LONG MESSAGE SERVICE which transmits only character data within 400 bytes (BYTE), MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE SERVICE (MMS) which transmits multimedia data, and SMS (EXTENDED) includes an extended short message service (ESMS: EXTENDED SMS) for attaching emoticons, melodies, and the like, and a color short message service (COLOR SMS) for specifying colors of texts and backgrounds to be transmitted.

Each message service can be used by applying and registering with a service provider, and the message service to be used should be selected according to the size and type of the message that is frequently used habitually.

For example, in the case of a text message, when sending a message within 80 bytes (BYTE) every time, it is advantageous to request and use a short message service (SMS), which is relatively inexpensive, and has a length of about 400 bytes. In case of free use, even if the fee is a little expensive, applying for and using a long message service (LMS) may result in lower usage fees and more convenient than a multiple use of the short message service (SMS) as a result. have.

That is, when applying for a long message service (LMS) and transmitting a text message within 80 bytes, communication costs are wasted, and the short message service (SMS) is applied, and a text message within 400 bytes is transmitted. In this case, the message has to be divided and written in 80 byte units, and at the same time, the receiver number must be inputted.

In general, it is very rare to send a long message, so subscribe to the short message service.

Therefore, in the case where a short message service is applied for and registered, when a long message of 80 bytes or more is created and transmitted, it is necessary to simplify the message creation input and facilitate the transmission.

In addition, the present invention satisfies the need to designate a portion of a written message to be sent to another party or to change the page order of the message to be different content, to send to another party, or to transmit at different reservation times. to be.

Referring to FIG. 1, the portable terminal of the present invention will be described. The wireless unit 10 wirelessly connects to a mobile communication base station under the control and monitoring of the control unit 20, and performs voice communication signals and text messages. Various wireless communication signals are transmitted and received.

The control unit 20 for controlling and monitoring the wireless unit 10 inputs a text message through the keyboard unit 60, and applies the input text message to the message unit 100 as a text message suitable for grammar. Write.

The created text message is recorded in the allocated area of the memory unit 30 under the control of the control unit 20 and applied to the display unit 70 for display.

In the memory unit 30, an operation program, an application program, and various operation data are recorded.

The written text message may have a size exceeding 80 bytes BYTE, which is a page unit of a SHORT message.

The controller 20 controls the message unit 100 so that when the text message is written over 80 bytes, the controller 20 classifies the page size into multiple pages.

The 80 bytes of the page unit are, by way of example, 70 bytes or 90 bytes, and can be arbitrarily changed by the designer.

Since the control unit 20 controls and monitors the message unit 100 by a control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, one or more pages selected from the classified pages are designated as a bundle.

Since the control unit 20 controls the transmission order unit 90 according to a control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, the control unit 20 performs the transmission order routine, and the transmission order of the classified page unit and the bundled unit is ascending. In this case, the transmission is specified in descending order or in individual transmissions for each selected page, or random transmission in which transmission order is transmitted from a randomly selected page.

Since the control unit 20 controls the reservation unit 90 by a control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, the control unit 20 designates a reservation transmission time of the entire message consisting of the plurality of pages, by a reservation transmission routine, Alternatively, specify a scheduled transmission time for each page, or specify a scheduled transmission time for a batch, or specify a scheduled transmission time for the first page, and send it at a certain time interval from the next page. Specify the time of reservation.

The control unit 20 drives the receiver routine according to a control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, so that a receiver number (telephone number) for receiving the entire text message or a receiver for receiving each page unit is provided. Enter a number or enter the recipient number to receive the batch.

Since the receiver number is frequently input recently, the receiver number is searched and selected and inputted by a preferred number separately recorded in the allocated area of the memory unit, or the phone book unit 40 is searched and selected and inputted by the receiver number, or the receiver number is inputted. Enter it directly.

Hereinafter, a message transmission method of a mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

The control unit 20 of the mobile communication terminal determines whether or not to transmit the created text message to the specified specific counterpart (S100).

When the text message is to be transmitted in the determination (S100), it is checked whether or not to transmit in the normal mode (S110).

When the text message is to be transmitted in the normal mode by the confirmation of the control unit 20, a text message of a corresponding page size is input to compose a grammar (S120), and a receiver number to receive the input text message is input. Input (S130).

In addition, when confirmation of the control unit 20 (S110), if you want to send a text message in the selection mode, not the normal mode, the selection mode routine is operated (S140).

Confirmation of the control unit 20 is performed by analyzing a control command applied from the keyboard unit.

The selection mode routine will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The control unit 20 determines whether to input the recipient number first before composing the text message (S210).

When the receiver number is first input by the determination of the controller 20, the receiver routine is operated (S220).

The control unit 20 which enters the receiver number later or operates the receiver routine to enter the receiver number first, inputs a text message from the keyboard unit 60, controls the message unit 100, Write a text message suitable for (S230).

Since the created text message is divided into page units having a set size, the text message is classified into a plurality of page units (S240).

When modifying or changing the content of the text message classified in units of a plurality of pages as described above (S250), a page number is selected and fed back to the text message creation process (S230) (S260).

Modifying or changing the contents of the written text message of the page, since the contents of the message may be deleted or shortened entirely, but may be longer (S230), the process of classifying by page unit (S240) must be repeated. do.

It is checked whether one or more pages are selected from among the plurality of pages classified as described above to be designated as a bundle (S270), and when it is determined that the bundle is designated by the controller 20, the one or more selected pages are bundled. It is specified as (S280).

The controller 20 again determines whether to input the recipient number to be received after completing the preparation of the text message as described above (S290), and inputs the recipient number after completing the preparation of the text message in the determination (S290). When the receiver routine is operated, the receiver routine is operated (S220), so that the operation of the selection mode routine (S140) is completed, and the operation returns to the position where the operation of the selection mode routine (S140) is started.

A receiver routine S220 which is operated before the text message is written or inputted or written after the text message is input will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6.

In the case of the entire designation in which all of the text messages composed of the plurality of pages are transmitted to the selected specific recipient (S510), the receiver 20 directly inputs or prefers to input frequently. The receiver number is recorded in the allocated area of the memory unit 30. For example, the receiver number is retrieved from the recent call list and selected and input, or is retrieved from the phonebook list and selected and input (S520). .

In addition, when it is determined by the controller 20 that a different recipient number is to be input for each page (S530), the recipient number (telephone number) may be directly input or a preferred recipient number frequently input may be stored in the memory. As recorded in the allocated area of the unit 30, for example, a search and selection and input from a recent call list or a search and selection and input from a phonebook list (S540) and a receiver are individually designated. If there is another page that is not there, the process returns to the process S540 and repeats the process (S550).

In addition, when it is determined by the control unit 20 to input different recipient numbers for each unit of bundle (S560), the receiver unit may directly input the recipient number (telephone number) or input a preferred recipient number frequently entered into the memory unit. As recorded in the assigned area of 30, for example, a search and selection and input from a recent call list or a search and selection and input from a phonebook list (S570) and a receiver are not individually designated. If there is another bundle unit that is not present, the process returns to the process (S570) and repeats (S550). If a receiver is assigned to all the bundle units, the receiver routine operation (S220) is completed and the receiver routine operation (S220) starts. RETURN to the previous position.

The control unit 20 completes the operation of the selection mode routine including the receiver routine (S220) (S140), and operates the transmission order routine (S150).

The transmission sequence routine (S150), whether to transmit a plurality of pages constituting the text message in ascending order, descending order, specify the order of transmission for each page, or from any page in a random order selected by the controller Specify whether or not to send.

Referring to FIG. 4, the transmission sequence routine S150 will be described. The control unit 20 recognizes a control command applied from the keyboard unit 60 and applies it to the transmission sequence unit 90. FIG. .

If it is determined that the control command applied from the control unit 20 is a control command for selecting sequential transmission (S310), the transmission order unit 90 then selects an ascending or descending order by analyzing the applied control command. In step S330, the transmission order of the plurality of pages of the text message is designated in the selected order (S330).

If the control order from the control unit 20 is confirmed as a control command for selecting an individual transmission by the transmission order unit 90 (S340), then the transmission order is designated for each page selected by the control command to be applied. (S350).

In addition, when the transmission order unit 90 confirms the control command applied from the control unit 20 by random transmission (S360), all the multiple pages constituting the text message to be transmitted from a randomly selected page by itself. The transmission sequence of the transmission sequence routine is specified (S370), the operation of the transmission sequence routine (S150) is completed, and the return to the position where the transfer sequence routine (S150) was started (RETURN).

The control unit 20 analyzes the control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, and if it is confirmed as a control command for selecting the reserved transmission (S160), the control unit 80 controls the reservation transmission routine. Operate (S170).

The reserved transmission routine S170 does not transmit the text message right now, but reserves a transmission time in advance so as to be transmitted at a selected time.

Referring to FIG. 5, the reservation transmission routine (S170) will be described. The reservation unit 80 under the control of the control unit 20 includes the entire control of the control unit 20 in the text message. If it is confirmed by the selection of the entire reservation to collectively transmit the page at a specified time (S410), the delayed transmission time of the entire message is then designated as the authorized time (S420).

When it is determined that the control of the controller 20 selects the individual reservation (S430), the reservation unit 80 designates a reservation transmission time in units of pages selected as the time to be applied (S440).

When it is determined that the control of the controller 20 selects the bundle reservation (S450), the reservation unit 80 designates the reservation transmission time so that the selected bundle unit is transmitted at the selected time (S460).

When the reservation unit 80 confirms the control applied from the control unit 20 as the interval reservation (S470), the selected time is set as the reservation time so that the first page of the plurality of pages constituting the text message is transmitted. In order to designate a time interval at which pages of the next sequence are sequentially transmitted (S480), the operation of the reserved transmission routine (S170) is completed and return to the position where the reserved transmission routine (S170) is started. .

The control unit 20 analyzes the control command applied from the keyboard unit 60, so as to determine whether the priority of the text message transmission is selected as an express, urgent or normal, and the identified priority. Specify (S180).

The priority is given priority of the transmission in the order of express, urgent, and normal. For example, when there is a specific page message given an express priority and a specific block message given an urgent priority at the same time or time, Prioritized page messages are sent first.

As described above, the specified conditions are displayed on the display unit 70 by the control unit 20, when a user who checks the displayed conditions is corrected, input a corresponding control command to the keyboard unit 60, The control command is applied to the control unit 20.

When the control unit 20 analyzes the control command applied from the keyboard unit 60 and determines that the control command is corrected, the control unit 20 returns to the general mode determination step (S110) of the determination process. To modify it.

With reference to the accompanying Figure 7, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it describes the routine operation results of the input message.

When a long message is inputted through the keyboard unit 60 of the portable terminal, by the operation of the selection mode routine, the long message is created according to the grammar and classified into a plurality of pages of a predetermined size.

For example, one page size may be set to input 80-byte (BYTE) characters, and the designer may set 60-byte, 70-byte, or 90-byte characters per page.

7A is an example of a state classified into three pages.

When selecting and modifying or inserting a specific page of the message prepared as described above, the content of the message is modified or inserted by designating the corresponding page, and B is an example. A state diagram with page 5 added.

When the multipage message is designated as a bundle, pages 1, 4 and 2 are bundled 1, pages 4, 2 and 5 are bundled 2, and pages 2, 5 and 3 are bundled 3 Is shown.

Different recipients can be assigned to the pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the bundles 1, 2, 3, respectively, and the recipient designation is by receiver routine operation.

The order of transmission of each page may be specified in ascending and descending order of page numbers, by assigning a different transmission order for each page, or by automatically specifying an arbitrary page to be transmitted first by a transmission order routine.

In addition, by the reservation transmission routine operation, all pages are reserved at all times at a designated time, each page is transmitted at a different time, or specified at a different time in a batch unit, or the first page is designated. The transmission time may be reserved, and the interval may be scheduled to be sequentially transmitted at a predetermined time interval from the next page.

Therefore, the present invention of the above configuration, by using the short message service (SMS) to write and enter a long message, by changing the entire message, the message of the selected page unit, the message of the selected unit of bundle or the transmission order, It is convenient to have a message with different contents and to send it to the designated recipients.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be variously modified and implemented within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
