Method of message transmission for wireless terminal

The present invention relates to a message transmission method of a wireless terminal that is portable and capable of sending and receiving calls and messages, and in particular, when a user downloads and inserts an advertisement image or text of a specific company before and after a message to be transmitted during a message transmission of a wireless terminal, The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a message of a wireless terminal that can be exempted from a message transmission fee and at the same time maximize the advertising effect of a specific company.

Recently, due to the development of mobile communication technology, the use of personal handheld wireless terminals capable of wireless transmission and reception through voice or text with third parties is increasing rapidly. In particular, the wireless terminal has attracted considerable popularity for the purpose of exchanging information as well as mutual intimacy between young people.

Therefore, a communication station managing lines of various wireless terminals is assigned a unique numbering band and assigns individual numbers to subscribers in the assigned numbering band. At this time, the communication station provides subscribers with a personal number and also provides various services. For example, according to the subscriber's choice, news or sports, weather and various life information can be transmitted by voice or text message for a fee or free. do.

The text message may be transmitted in one direction from the communication station. However, the text message may be transmitted in a two-way transmission between subscribers by setting a predetermined amount per text. In particular, the text message transmission may use a wireless terminal, but may also be transmitted to the other party's wireless terminal through the Internet network which is increasing in exponential order.

However, in the conventional case, there is a problem in that a large amount of money is consumed because a certain amount must be paid when transmitting a text message, and in addition, only a simple image defined in a wireless terminal or an internet network can be inserted when creating a text message. The problem is that it is difficult to compose a message.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of which is to send a text message transmission fee by inserting the advertising terminal image of a specific company selectively before and after the text message when transmitting a text message. The present invention provides a method of transmitting a message of a wireless terminal that can be drastically reduced and selectively insert various images to enhance personality and fun.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a message transmission method of a wireless terminal according to the present invention.

According to a first aspect of a message transmission method of a wireless terminal according to the present invention for solving the above problems, a series of letters, numbers, images in a wireless terminal having a display window on which a number, a character, a specific image is displayed. A first step of creating a transmission message through an input; A second step of inputting and transmitting a unique number of the other party's wireless terminal when the transmission message is completed in the first step; In the second step, when the transmission message is transmitted to the wireless terminal of the corresponding number, a third step of inserting a specific character or image for advertisement before and after the transmission message is transmitted together with the transmission message.

In addition, according to the second aspect of the present invention, in the third step, a user may select and use a specific character or image for advertisement directly through a communication means.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a message transmission method of a wireless terminal according to the present invention. Referring to this, in the first step, a new fee is applied when one or more advertisement images presented by the company are applied to a text message between an information service company and a communication station. A contract is made to apply (see S1).

Here, the new fee means that the subscriber pays a certain amount per character (bit) when transmitting a text message, or a certain amount per text is reduced or free of charge, and the information service company inserts an image for advertisement into the text message. As a condition, it means a fare system in which the subscriber's discounted or full rate is paid on behalf of the telecommunications station.

In the second step, the subscriber accesses a site managed by a communication station or an information service provider through the Internet network. In the third step, the subscriber is informed about the application of the new fee, so the user selects whether to download the advertisement image. (See S2 and S3)

In this case, in the fourth step, when the subscriber downloads the advertisement image in the third step (S3), the subscriber inserts and transmits the advertisement image before or after the subscriber's text message while the new rate is applied (see S4).

Then, in the fifth step, the communication station settles a charge for the text message transmission of the subscriber who uses the image for advertisement and bills the information providing company, and the information providing company pays the charged fee (see S5).

On the other hand, the sixth step monitors whether the subscriber retries when the image for advertisement is not downloaded in the third step (S3). If the monitoring result is 'yes', the process returns to the third step (S3) again. If the result of the monitoring is no, the process goes to step 7 and the subscriber applies the existing rate system when sending a text message (see S6 and S7).

In the eighth step, the communication station setstles a charge for the subscriber's text message transmission and bills the subscriber so that the subscriber pays the billed amount (see S8).

In the above, the download of the advertisement image through the Internet network is described as an example, but the communication station provides the subscriber with information on whether to insert the advertisement image and is determined by the subscriber's choice, and selected by the subscriber through the Internet network. Even if the advertisement image is not directly downloaded to the subscriber's wireless terminal, the advertisement image may be inserted before and after the text message and transmitted to the other party.

Therefore, the present invention can reduce the cost burden of subscribers while increasing the number of times of use of a text message service when using a wireless terminal, and at the same time, an information providing company that provides a funny and unique advertising image can advertise the company itself or company products. .
