As referred to herein, the system of the present invention generates and synthesizes a digital camera 10 for photographing a person's face or other subjects, and an image file for generating and synthesizing an image signal captured by the digital camera as an image file. The device 11 and various background data or celebrity picture data are retained, and the background file is generated so that the user can select the image file, and the background file can generate various composite image data files desired by the user. A background image DB (12) providing a source for uploading, a terminal computer (13) for uploading the image file output from the image file generating and synthesizing apparatus and the number data of the mobile communication terminal to be downloaded to the server side through the Internet; Image file mailbox DB (15) for storing the image file uploaded from the terminal computer to the server side, A short call service system 16 for receiving a mobile phone number data transmitted from the terminal computer and executing a short call service, and processing an image file input from the terminal computer and telephone number data of the mobile communication terminal, respectively. A server 14 for providing the image file mailbox DB and the terminal outgoing service system and transmitting the image file to the gateway side for wireless Internet access when the image file data is approved for download in response to the service by the short-term outgoing service system; And a gateway 17 for executing wireless Internet download of the image file data from the server to the portable communication terminal 18 side.

Referring to the operation of the system configured as described above is as follows.

When a user of a mobile communication terminal wants to lay his own picture as a wallpaper of his / her terminal display window, or a photo of a girlfriend / friend or a picture taken with a girlfriend / friend for the purpose of wallpaper, etc. Digital camera 10, in particular using a web camera to take a picture to make an image.

The video signal generated by the digital camera 10 is input to the image file generating and synthesizing apparatus 11 and converted into an image file. The converted image file is input to the terminal computer 13.

At this time, when the image file generation and synthesis device 11 generates an image filed by a digital camera as an image file, various pictures or photos contained in the background image DB 12, for example, a famous singer or actor sportsman The final image transfer file can be synthesized by selecting and composing a person or a character as their idol.

Various types of image files that can be created are uploaded from the terminal computer 13 to the server 14 through the Internet. At this time, the number data of the mobile communication terminal to which the image file is to be transferred must be uploaded together. Herein, the number of the mobile communication terminal may be its own terminal number or the terminal number of another person except itself.

As described above, in order to upload the image file to the server side, construction of an image file transmission system consisting of a digital camera 10, an image file generation and compositing device 11, a background image DB 12, and a terminal computer 13 is required. It must be assumed that if such a system is in the user's office or home, the image file can be uploaded to the server side directly from the office or home.

However, without using an office or home image file transmission system, the owner of a mobile communication terminal can transfer an image file to a server side by visiting an internet game room or using a vending machine.

In case of internet game room that has a huge infrastructure, it is equipped with digital camera (web camera) and terminal computer, so it is easy to transfer image files when visiting the game room or using the game room.

In the case of the vending machine, the function of creating a composite image file by using a web digital camera, various background image DBs and photographs (images) in the background image DB, and a terminal computer for transmitting image files in one body make frequent visits to and from the population. By installing in a local area, anyone can send an image file for transmitting a background image to a server side to a mobile communication terminal of one or another person who has a relationship with oneself without time and regional constraints.

In addition, a connection cable for data input / output with all kinds of portable communication terminals is additionally provided in the vending machine, so that the user's portable communication terminal can be directly transmitted without the need to transfer the image file generated by the vending machine to the server through the Internet. It can be downloaded to the background of the terminal directly output the image created by the vending machine. That is, an independent background image file vending machine for a mobile communication terminal is created regardless of the Internet.

This function is inadequate for transmitting image files to a remote communication terminal, but may be very advantageous when people in the field or want to insert a background image into their own communication terminal.

Therefore, in the case of the vending machine, two functions may be provided for the user to select the direct download method and the upload method to the server side, and these functions may be designed to be switched to each mode.

Meanwhile, the image file uploaded to the server 14 side is temporarily stored in the image file mailbox DB 15, and the current image file has been transmitted to the number side of the mobile communication terminal attached when the image file is uploaded. A short message asking whether to download is automatically sent by the short call service system 16.

The approval of the short message determines whether the call button (send button) of the mobile communication terminal is pressed by the receiver. That is, if the mobile communication terminal is closed (off) without pressing the call button after confirming the short message transmitted by the short message transmitting service system, the wireless Internet is connected to the server 14 within a predetermined period (for example, 3 days to 1 week). By connecting to the can be allowed to download the image file stored in the image file mailbox DB (15).

If, after confirming the short message, the call button is immediately pressed, the mobile communication terminal 18 and the server 14 are immediately connected via the wireless Internet and the gateway 17, and then the terminal is temporarily stored in the image file mailbox DB 15. The background image file for the display window is automatically downloaded to the memory of the terminal 18.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal 18 can decorate the background screen of the terminal display window with the downloaded image data.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting an image file of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention. As referred to herein, the first step is to take a picture of yourself using a digital camera.

In the second step, it is determined whether to combine the background image data with the photographed image, and if it is a synthesis condition, a famous celebrity or sportsman or a famous picture or photograph is synthesized with his photographed image to generate a digital image file to be transmitted to the server side. If the composite mode is not selected, the video image of yourself or the like taken by the digital camera is determined as an image file.

In the third step, the image file is uploaded to the server through a terminal computer connected to the Internet. At this time, if the target of receiving the image file is his / her own, the number of his / her mobile communication terminal should be transmitted to the server at the same time as the image file transmission.

In the fourth step, when the image file is uploaded to the server side, the image file is temporarily stored in the mailbox DB and the image file arrival guide message is sent to the mobile communication terminal number inputted at the same time as the image file.

In the fifth step, the holder of the corresponding terminal identifies the short message transmitted to the designated mobile communication terminal and determines whether the image file has been approved for download.

In the sixth step, when the call button of the mobile communication terminal is pressed to receive (download) the image file temporarily stored in the image file mailbox DB of the server, the mobile communication terminal and the server are directly connected to the terminal through the wireless Internet. The file download is executed. At this time, if only the short message is checked without selecting the call button and the terminal is closed, it is determined that the download is rejected immediately. After waiting for a certain period (about 3 days to 1 week), if the download is not executed, the image file is deleted from the mailbox DB .

After creating and downloading the desired image file in the mobile communication terminal, it can be used as a background of the display window of the terminal.

As described above, the present invention is a wallpaper of a liquid crystal display window of a mobile communication terminal using a wireless internet, and can insert and insert a desired picture or picture or a picture of them and their own. The unique effect is brought about.
