1 shows a network configuration of a diagnostic and quality measurement system of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the operation of each component of the diagnostic and quality measurement system of the mobile communication terminal will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

A mobile station (MS) 200 includes a server 204 for requesting collection of terminal information from a broadcast channel message of a base station 202 such as a Node B, It is checked whether the terminal itself is a target terminal for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement. At this time, the control information includes a control command for instructing the server 204 to measure the quality of the mobile communication terminal 200, which is included in the broadcast channel message of the base station 202 and is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 200 .

The mobile communication terminal 200 checks the current mode of the mobile communication terminal 200 when it is determined that the mobile communication terminal 200 is a terminal that must respond to the terminal diagnosis and quality measurement from the server 204. If the current mode of the mobile communication terminal 200 is the idle mode, Terminal information required for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement is collected and transmitted to the corresponding server 204 through the base station 202. [

The server 204 receives the quantity and period information necessary for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement of the mobile communication terminal 200 set by the operator 206 and transmits the quantity and period information to the mobile communication terminal 200 for diagnosis and quality measurement And transmits the generated control information to the mobile communication terminal 200 through the broadcast channel message of the base station 202. The mobile communication terminal 200 analyzes the terminal information received in response to the control information from the mobile communication terminal 200, The terminal diagnosis and quality measurement results of the terminal 200 are calculated.

When receiving the control information for diagnosis and quality measurement for the mobile communication terminal 200 from the server 204, the base station 202 transmits the control information to the mobile communication terminal 200 in the broadcast channel message, And receives the terminal information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 200 and transmits the received terminal information to the server 204.

Hereinafter, control information to be included in a broadcast channel message transmitted from the base station 202 to the mobile communication terminal 200 will be described in detail. In the broadcast channel message, two pieces of control information N and D are required.

N is the denominator value set by the operator. For example, if 10 is set, 1/10 of all subscribers corresponds to the real-time terminal diagnosis and quality measurement terminal. D is a value obtained by performing a modular calculation on the International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) of the mobile communication terminal 200 by N as a determination value and indicating whether the terminal is in a real time terminal diagnosis and quality measurement terminal. Here, IMSI is a unique 15-digit identification number assigned to the mobile communication terminal by the international mobile station identification number, which is composed of a country code, a network code, a subscriber identification number, and the like.

That is, if C = (digit number from end to end 4 of IMSI) mod N and the C value has the same value as the D value, the corresponding mobile communication terminal 200 transmits the terminal identification And a terminal corresponding to quality measurement, and collects terminal information for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement.

For example, when the operator sets 10 as a denominator, if N = 10 and D = 0 are given in the broadcast channel message, if the last 4 digits of the IMSI are "0050" 0 < / RTI > and D, it is judged that the terminal is a terminal that is subject to terminal diagnosis and quality measurement.

Then, the mobile communication terminal 200 determines whether the mobile communication terminal 200 is in the idle mode or the communication mode, and collects its own terminal information so that the terminal can diagnose and measure the quality only when the mobile communication terminal 200 is in the idle mode.

In this case, the collected information includes, for example, CPU information related to the CPU, CPU usage amount of each process, memory information for each process, and total memory information.

With respect to telephony, there are information such as a call state, a call location, data, a network, and signal strength.

The call state information includes idle state information and ring information. The call position information includes a base station ID, a base station latitude, a base station longitude, a network ) ID, and system (system) ID information.

The network information is information indicating the type of the communication network to which the mobile communication terminal 200 is currently connected. The network information includes, for example, CDMA, HSDPA, EVDO, MOBILE, WI- FI and the like may be included.

The phone includes battery information, firmware version information, baseband version information, kernel version information, and the like.

The application information refers to application list information installed in the mobile communication terminal. For example, the application information includes necessary SDK version information, permission information, required shared library list information, installed location information, application additional information And the like.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4. FIG.

First, an operator 206 who desires to perform terminal diagnosis and quality measurement for the mobile communication terminal 200 selects a quantity and period necessary for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement and inputs the selected quantity and period to the server 204 in the mobile communication network (S400). In this case, for example, if the operator 206 desires to measure at intervals of 10 minutes based on 1/00 of the smartphone subscribers, N = 100 and the period can be set to 10 minutes.

Then, the server 204 transmits the control information (N, D) for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement on the broadcast channel of the base station 202 based on the quantity and period set by the operator for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement (S402).

That is, for example, if the operator sets N = 100 and the period to 10 minutes, the server 204 firstly transmits N = 100 and D = 0 to the broadcast channel, and 10 minutes later transmits N = 100, D = 1, and repeats transmission until D = 99.

If the current mode of the terminal is in the idle mode, the mobile communication terminal 200 collects terminal information related to the terminal diagnosis and quality measurement request of the server 204 (S410) 204 (S412).

The server 204 analyzes the terminal information received from the mobile communication terminal 200 in response to the terminal diagnosis and quality measurement request to calculate the quality measurement result of the mobile communication terminal 200 at step S414, 206 (S416).

Then, the server 204 checks whether the value of N-1 is equal to the value of D (S418). If not, the server 204 updates the value of D + 1 to the value of D + 1 (S420) And transmits control information for terminal diagnosis and quality measurement to the mobile communication terminal 200 using a channel message.

That is, for example, when the operator sets N = 100 and the period to 10 minutes, the server 204 firstly transmits N = 100 and D = 0 to the broadcast channel, and transmits 10 minutes later to the broadcast channel N = 100, D = 1 and repeats transmission until D = 99.
