BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile terminal used in mobile communication. In particular, in a mobile terminal having a wide area pager and a cellular telephone, a mobile area notification method of a mobile terminal for automatically notifying a remote base station of a mobile area at the time of local movement of the mobile terminal. It is about.

Mobile communication facilities are roughly divided into remote base stations and mobile stations (terminals). [0003] The mobile terminals currently widely used include a pager capable of receiving a telephone number and other information of a caller using a landline telephone, and a cellular telephone enabling wireless telephone conversation.

On the other hand, the pagers and cellular telephones must receive information wirelessly from a remote base station or the like, and the call area is limited by the location of the switching center or the like, and a wide area pager has been developed to overcome such regional limitations.

The wide area pager is capable of receiving information from remote base stations in each region. In order to receive such information from the remote base station, the wide area pager needs to report the information about the mobile area of the wide area pager to the remote base station.

The conventional method of reporting a moving area in the wide area pager has to select the moving area by automatic scanning or manual selection in the wide area pager itself, and then call the calling number assigned to the wide area pager to report the moving area.

Therefore, the user has a inconvenience in having to make a call every time the user moves around the area.

Meanwhile, since a mobile terminal incorporating a wide area pager and a cellular phone has been developed, the cellular phone may prevent a user from performing a notification procedure for a mobile area.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile area notification method of a mobile terminal that enables a mobile phone to automatically report a mobile area for a wide area pager.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for reporting a mobile area of a wide area pager to a remote base station in a mobile terminal in which a wide area pager and a cellular telephone are integrated, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether a local movement of the mobile terminal has occurred; If a local movement of the mobile terminal occurs, calling a remote base station with the cellular telephone; When the telephone call path between the remote base station and the cellular telephone is formed as a result of the call, sequentially transmitting to the remote base station an ESN, an identification number of the mobile terminal, and a mobile area information code indicating a mobile area of the mobile terminal; And if the pager receives a registration completion code from a remote base station indicating that the mobile area has been registered in correspondence with the mobile area information code.

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2.

1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the mobile terminal 1 of the present invention is composed of a pager 10 and a cellular telephone 20. The phaser 10 and the cellular telephone 20 are controlled by a microprocessor controller 30, respectively. do. The display unit 40 is connected to the controller 30 as shown, and the controller 30 can display necessary information through the display 40. The remote base station connecting these mobile terminals 1 wirelessly is shown as a sign (2).

At this time, the pager 10 is configured to apply the moving area information by the automatic scanning or the user's manual to the controller 30 as described above, and the controller 30 moves through the cellular phone 20 as described below. Information about the area is automatically notified to the remote base station 2.

2 shows a driving flowchart of the controller 30 for notifying the remote base station 2 of the movement area detected by the pager 10 using the cellular telephone 20 as described above.

First, in the mobile terminal 1 configured as described above, when the controller 30 selects the mobile area by the automatic scanning or manual selection of the pager 10, information about the selected mobile area (predetermined coded information is used in the present specification). This information is referred to as a moving area information code) to the controller 30.

The controller 30 determines whether the moving area information code is applied from the pager 10 in step S1, and proceeds to step S2 when the moving area information code is applied.

In step S2, the controller 30 controls the cellular telephone 20 to call the remote base station 2. Here, the call means a state in which the telephone number of the remote base station 2 is dialed.

As a result of the call in step S2, when a telephone call path with the remote base station 2 is formed (i.e., a hooking off signal is transmitted from the base station), the controller 30 passes through the cellular telephone 20 to the remote base station 2; ), The identification number unique to the ESN and the mobile terminal 1 is transmitted (S3, S4). The identification number here means a unique identification number for the remote base station 2 to identify the mobile terminal 1, that is, assigned to each of the mobile terminals 1.

As such, when the identification signal is transmitted from the mobile terminal 1, the remote controller 2 can identify the calling mobile terminal 1, and thus waits for the code for the area information from the mobile terminal 1 to be transmitted. Becomes

After the controller 30 transmits the identification number of the mobile terminal 1 through the cellular telephone 20 as described above, the remote base station 2 transmits the mobile area information code applied from the pager 10 as shown. (S5).

When the mobile area information code is transmitted, the remote base station 2 registers the mobile area of the mobile terminal 1 in correspondence with the mobile area information code as before, and then registers the registration completion code indicating that the registration is completed. To transmit.

When the pager 10 receives the registration completion code from the remote base station 2, the pager 10 applies it to the controller 30, and the controller 30 determines whether the registration completion code is applied from the pager 10 (S6). When the registration completion code is authorized, the display unit 40 indicates that the area movement report is completed and ends all processes (S7).

On the other hand, the remote controller 30, which receives the mobile area information code of the pager 1, is configured to be received by the ARS system rather than by a person receiving the call of the mobile terminal 1.

In such ARS system, voice mail service is selectively provided by user's choice. In the case of using the voice mail service, a password is assigned to a user in order to prevent the use of another person. In some cases, the ARS system may require a password. It may be added to S3, S4). That is, in steps S3 and S4, the controller 30 may further transmit information required by the remote base station 2 to report the moving area of the pager 10, or change the order of transmission of the information. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a mobile terminal is moved locally in a mobile terminal in which a pager and a cellular telephone are integrated, the mobile station automatically reports the moving area of the pager to a remote base station by using a cellular telephone. The effect is that there is no need to report the moving area.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
