Description

Wired / wireless integrated data synchronization system and synchronization method

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a fixed terminal interlocking Internet site synchronization, and in particular, the information of a fixed terminal and a mobile terminal in a wired environment according to the expansion and growth of data services using a mobile wireless data terminal can be synchronized on the Web (Web). The present invention relates to a wired and wireless integrated data synchronization system and a synchronization method.

The Internet is created by connecting large and small computer networks all over the world, and it can be said that a computer network is formed by simply connecting two computers to exchange data with each other.

In other words, a computer network refers to a connected network itself that is connected so that individual computers can exchange information. When computer network is configured, information communication between computers connected to the network is called computer communication. These computer networks are formed as small offices, and the networks within the offices are linked to buildings or larger networks and included in larger networks. In this way, the size of the network is locally connected to form a LAN (Local Area Network), and the LAN and the LAN are interconnected to form an internetworking (internetworking) to form a larger metropolitan area network (MAN). These MANs will come together to form a larger network, the Wide Area Network (WAN). WANs are large networks that form the backbone of almost one country.

Networks, which have been formed and grown around the world, have quickly reached the borders of countries and nations across borders. Eventually, today, submarine optical cables are used, satellites are connected wirelessly, and various ways of connecting the earth to one network are possible. It is the Internet that is made up of many large and small computer networks around the world.

As the wired network has developed into asynchronous transmission (ATM) broadband integrated information network (B-ISDN) via a general telephone network (PSTN) and an integrated information communication network (ISDN), wireless mobile networks are also digital cellular networks (DCN: Digital Cellular). Network and Personal Communication Service (PCS) are evolving into next generation mobile communication (IMT-2000) network that can support multimedia such as high speed data, packet, and video.

Such a mobile communication system is composed of a mobile station (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone), a base station (BTS), a base station controller (BSC) and a mobile switching center (MSC), and the base station controls the signal format between the mobile phone and the base station controller (BSC). It is changed to be suitable for wireless link and wired link. The base station controller serves as a means of access between each element of the base station and the cell operator. The base station operation management, service state management of hardware and software in the base station, and resource management of call traffic It performs monitoring functions such as allocation and configuration, collection of information on base station operation, and sub-devices related to base station operation, monitoring and fixing. The mobile switching center then configures an access point for user traffic between the base station controller management and the mobile communication network and the mobile switching center of the general telephone network or the same mobile communication system.

Such mobile phones were initially used only for voice communication, but recently, they are also used for data communication. Recently, mobile communication service providers provide hundreds of contents such as news, banking, and electronic commerce through wireless internet mobile phones.

Recently, the mobile phone can be used in various ways, such as listening to AM or FM radio broadcasts using a mobile phone, or downloading MP3 music from the Internet as an audio file format (file extension mp3) and storing it in the mobile phone. It's coming out. These mobile phones provide information management such as phone number list, schedule management function, and personal information management, which can store frequently used phone numbers. In the latest models, the phone number, schedule management, and personal information management are not included. More and more information can be managed.

In order to input the phone number or other information into the address book, input one by one directly using the keypad of the mobile phone, connect the computer to the mobile phone using a cable, write data on the computer, and use the receptacle to the mobile phone. It uses a method of transferring or transferring information of a mobile phone to a computer, and exchanges information between the mobile phone and a computer.

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an architecture for mobile computers that can connect to any wireless network, including GSM, TDMA, CDMA, CDPD, and more. It was developed by the WAP Forum, which was formed by mobile operators such as Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, and Unwired Planet. did.

Since then, more than 60 of the world's leading telecommunications and computer companies, including AT & T, Bell South Wireless Data, and IBM, support the WAP specification, so standardization is a common issue.

In this regard, Nokia and Alcatel have recently launched WAP-compliant GSM mobile phones and are actively working on Internet access services.

These GSM phones provide limited internet services such as weather, traffic information and home banking, as well as e-mail via WAP protocol.

Mobile computer companies are also adopting WAP's markup language in order to enhance the browser (microbrowser) function for Internet search.

WAP, above all, is a protocol that brings a kind of innovation to the mobile computer environment by creating a network-centric computing paradigm in the wireless domain based on the World Wide Web model.

In other words, as the mobile computer and the internet are combined, the mobile computer can send and receive complete e-mails including additional files, check bank accounts or stock quotes, search for information on restaurants, and make reservations wherever you want. will be.

Unlike most other applications, this architecture allows WAP-based programs to operate regardless of the method of transmission and the type of terminal.

In addition, WAP not only specifies the Internet browser specifications for mobile devices that are optimized for mobile computers, but also conditions for proxy servers that function as gateways between wireless networks and the wired Internet by optimizing protocol switching and data transfer for mobile computers. .

On the other hand, there are some wireless data service providers that apply the HTTP method of the general Internet to the wireless, and it is expected that the WAP and HTTP methods will be integrated into the third generation wireless data communication standard.

As a result, companies have more choices for mobile handsets, enabling advanced services and more stable Internet access.

Recently, many companies are preparing various services by integrating such a computer network and mobile communication, and do not provide the same wired / wireless portal site between computer communication and mobile communication.
