The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a terminal for mounting and using a subscriber identification module (SIM) in the following description.

SIM card usually refers to a small card installed in the terminal. Although it is not introduced in the CDMA method used in Korea, it is used as a standard for the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) terminal. One of the advantages of this SIM card is that it can be plugged into any terminal and used as your own terminal.

Korean terminals have unique numbers for their terminals, so they cannot change their terminals. The SIM card has subscriber information in it, so you can plug it in and use it like your own terminal.

Application applications provided from the server using the Bearer Independent Protocol (BIP) are stored in the SIM card. It is possible to move depending on the user without depending on the mobile equipment. Therefore, if you carry only the SIM card, the data uploaded / downloaded by the user can use the terminal other than his own terminal. The BIP is one of functions of USAT (USIM Application Toolkit), which is an application tool applied to a SIM card. Using BIP, applets downloaded from the server are downloaded directly to the SIM card. Accordingly, in the case of a push service requesting a session from an over-the-air (OTA) server, an operator may install an applet on a terminal without user's consent.

1 is an exemplary view showing a push service process according to the prior art. The OTA server 10 requests a bearer connection to the SIM card 30.

Accordingly, the SIM card 30 sends a channel open request signal to the mobile equipment 20.

When the terminal 20 opens a channel with the OTA server 10, the SIM card 30 sends an initial data to the OTA server 10 after the bearer is opened to form a TCP / IP connection to operate the OTA server 10. waiting. At this time, the OTA server 10 opens an IP address and a port and waits for a request.

The OTA server 10 sends the applet to the SIM card 30.

The OTA server 10 closes the channel.

The push service made through this process is performed regardless of the intention of the terminal user. Therefore, it may be inconvenient for the user to install unnecessary applets on the terminal, and a menu for controlling the applets may be required.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a push service processing method that can prevent an applet from being installed on a SIM card regardless of a user's intention.

The push service processing method according to the present invention for achieving the above object is characterized in that the terminal determines whether to install the applet in consideration of the user's setting state for the BIP menu.

A detailed feature of the push service processing method according to the present invention includes the steps of receiving a channel open request signal from a subscriber identification module (SIM) that is requested to connect to a push service bearer; Opening a bearer through a subscriber authentication module (SIM) and sending initial data to an OTA server to form TCP / IP; Transmitting an applet received from an OTA server to a subscriber authentication module (SIM); A push service processing method comprising closing a channel with an OTA server; The control unit of the terminal further includes the step of reading the setting information of the BIP (Bearer Independent Protocol) menu stored in the internal memory of the terminal and determining whether to perform the push service according to the state.

Another detailed feature of the push service processing method according to the present invention is a push service for a software upgrade even if the BIP setting state is On (On) or Off (Off) state, bearer through the subscriber authentication module (SIM) Open and send initial data to the OTA server to form TCP / IP, and if the BIP configuration is off and a push service for the installation of a normal applet, it will not respond to a channel open request. Is to exit without.

A feature of the configuration of a terminal for implementing a push service processing method according to the present invention includes a radio transmitting and receiving unit for receiving a push service signal from the OTA server; A subscriber identity module interface unit forming a data path with a subscriber identification module; A memory storing setting information of a user's BIP menu; And a controller for controlling the transfer of an applet according to the push service provided through the wireless transceiver to the subscriber authentication module interface according to the setting state stored in the memory.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating the configuration and operation of the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration and operation of the present invention shown in the drawings and described by it will be described by at least one embodiment, By the technical spirit of the present invention described above and its core configuration and operation is not limited.

2 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal 100 according to the present invention. Looking at the configuration, the wireless transmission and reception unit 110 for receiving a push service (puh service) signal from the OTA server; A subscriber identification module interface unit 130 forming a data path with a subscriber identification module 200; A memory 140 that stores setting information of a user's BIP menu; And a controller 120 for controlling the transfer of an applet according to a push service provided through the wireless transceiver 110 to the subscriber authentication module interface 130 according to the setting state stored in the memory 140. It is done by

3 is an exemplary view illustrating a push service processing process according to the present invention. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a push service processing method according to the present invention centered on a terminal.

The OTA server 10 requests a bearer connection to the SIM card 30. Accordingly, the SIM card 30 sends a channel open request signal to the mobile equipment 20. The terminal receives a channel open request signal from the SIM card 30 (S410).

The control unit 120 of the terminal 100 or 20 reads BIP setting information of the user stored in the memory 140 (S420).

Check whether the user's BIP setting state is "off" (S430). If it is "on", normal operation is performed. That is, the channel is opened (S460) and the push service is executed (S470).

If "off", it is checked whether the push service for the software upgrade (S440). If it is for software upgrade, the procedure (S460, S470) according to the general push service is performed.

Otherwise, if it is a push service for installing an applet, it will terminate immediately. In this case, since the channel is not open, there is no need to close the channel (S450).

On the other hand, even if the BIP configuration is "on" or "off" state, if the push service for software upgrades, the same procedure as the general push service is performed.

When the terminal 20 opens a channel with the OTA server 10, the SIM card 30 sends an initial data to the OTA server 10 after the bearer is opened to form a TCP / IP connection to operate the OTA server 10. waiting. The OTA server 10 sends the applet to the SIM card 30 and closes the channel.

As described above, the applet can be prevented from being installed by the user through the push service through the control unit of the terminal.

On the other hand, in the detailed description of the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, it can be modified in various forms without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the push service processing method according to the present invention can be expected to prevent the applet is installed in the SIM card in the state that the user does not recognize.
