In this case, the mobile communication terminal 50 selectively or simultaneously supports a service of an Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) system or a service of a CDMA system to enable a subscriber to communicate through a mobile communication network.

The operation of the present invention when requesting a call from the PC to the PCS during bidirectional communication between the mobile communication terminal and the Internet terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation between a mobile communication terminal and an internet terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention when requesting a call from a personal computer to an internet terminal.

When the user using the Internet terminal 10 connects through the Internet network, the user is provided with a login window and requests to write an ID and a password (S310).

When the user enters the ID and password, a call program is provided according to the user's request to receive the called party's PCS telephone number (S311). At this time, the ID of the user who requested the call and the IP of the Internet terminal are determined, and the IP address of the called party PCS is determined as the called party's telephone number, and it is determined whether the user is included in the relative list of the called party (312, S313).

If the user is included in the relative list of the called party, the user's ID is converted into character information, that is, an email account such as freeman-M@persmail.com, and transmitted to the PCS terminal 50 of the determined IP. At this time, when the character information of the transmitted e-mail account is viewed, an arbitrary symbol is added to the e-mail account to be displayed (S314 and S315).

The text information is transmitted to the SMSC 300, converted into a protocol suitable for the PCS network, and transmitted to the corresponding PCS through the PCS network.

Then, the text information of the received e-mail account is displayed on the LCD screen as text information on the PCS. By this display, the PCS user knows that a person with the displayed e-mail account is requesting a call (S316).

Thus, when the PCS user generates a call permission signal to make a call, the call permission signal is transmitted to the Internet call providing server 100 to enable billing, and the Internet call providing server 100 is a PC connected to the Internet network, The voice connection system 400 allows the PCS to be connected to make a voice call between the PC and the PCS (S319).

Meanwhile, the PCS user determines the call request by looking at the text information displayed on the LCD screen, and generates a call reject signal if the user does not want to make a call (S318).

After all, when a call is requested from the PC to the PCS, the Internet network → the Internet call providing server 100 → the parent management server 200 → the SMSC 300 → the exchange 500 → the base station 600 → the PCS terminal (the abnormal call request). ) → base station → exchange (500) → SMSC (300) → parent management server (200) → Internet call providing server (100) (permit of abnormal call), PC → voice connection system (400) → exchange (500) → base station ( 600) → A signal transmission path is formed in the order of the PCS terminal (the bilateral call).

On the other hand, the present invention can connect the voice / text conversion server (not shown) to the voice connection system 400 for the disabled who can not talk to enable the PC and PCS call.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation between a mobile communication terminal and an internet terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention when requesting a call from an internet terminal to a personal computer.

In order to make a call from PCS to PC, the person who wants to talk must be connected to the Internet, that is, online. Therefore, it is obvious that the PCS user must go through a process of checking whether the PC user to be called is online.

To do this, the PCS user must have his / her PCS's information managed by his / her relatives and also stored on the device providing the call.

Therefore, the PCS stores list information about relatives set by the user, and the information is displayed on the LCD window by the user as an account, character information such as a person's name or a number such as a telephone number (S410). ).

The PCS user selects text information (for example) corresponding to the person to be called from the parent list displayed on the LCD window and presses the transmit button (S411).

Accordingly, the signal transmitted from the PCS terminal is a signal for requesting whether the PC of the receiver (called party) is online and is transmitted to the internet call providing server 100 (S412).

Since the Internet call providing server 100 determines the identity of the user based on the received user ID and stores it, whether the receiver corresponding to the call request signal (including the receiver information) received through the PCS terminal is currently online. It may be determined (S413).

If the Internet call providing server 100 determines that the receiver is not in an online state, the server 100 transmits a signal corresponding thereto to the PCS terminal so that text information indicating that the called party is in an offline state appears on the PCS terminal (S414). ).

On the other hand, when the receiver is on-line, the Internet call providing server 100 transmits a signal corresponding to the receiver and IP information of the PC being used by the receiver to the PCS terminal so that the called party is offline. Character information is displayed (S416).

Therefore, the PCS user cancels the call when the called party is offline (S415), and presses the call button when the called party is online (S417).

Accordingly, the call signal transmitted from the PCS terminal is connected to the PC having the corresponding IP through the voice connection system 400, and then the call is made (S418).

After all, when requesting a call from the PCS to the PC, the PCS terminal → base station → exchange → parental management server → Internet providing server 100 (may not be included in some cases) (failed caller online status request) → parental management Server → switch → base station → PCS terminal (check the status of abnormal caller online), PCS terminal → base station → exchange → voice connection system → PC (call).

Here, although the case of the PC and PCS has been described as an embodiment, a two-way call between the PC and the landline phone and the PCS and the PCS is also possible. In this case, it is obvious to use a wired communication network rather than an Internet network and a PCS network.

Although the above has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will be able to variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be appreciated.

As described above, according to the present invention, the two-way communication between the Internet terminal and the mobile communication terminal is possible, and the wireless telephone user can also make a call to the Internet user. In addition, the present invention enables the caller to confirm the identity of the caller so that the called party can determine whether the call is made and to enable the billing.
