The present invention for achieving the above object is characterized in that the user of the portable mobile phone terminal (font) to download the desired data (font) from the service providing server to the terminal (change) settings. In this case, the service providing server has various font data files as a database, and when a user requests a download of a desired font data file after accessing it through a communication service, it is designated by the user. After calling the terminal, the font data file is requested to download. The portable mobile phone terminal receives a font data file in response to a ringtone download call from a service providing server and stores it in a memory. The mobile terminal displays a list of font data stored in the memory when the user changes the font data, and selects one of the displayed font data when the user selects one of the displayed font data. (font) Use data for each function.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth, such as a specific configuration, which are provided to assist in a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It is self-evident to those who have. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

1 is a network configuration diagram for the present invention. In the present invention, the portable mobile phone terminal communicates with the portable mobile phone base station, and the portable mobile phone base station is connected to the communication network. A mobile base station and a service providing server are connected through a communication network. The communication network can also be connected to a portable terminal such as a PC or a PDA using the wireless Internet. According to the present invention, various font data are stored in the service providing server as a database.

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

The control unit 100 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal, performs a control operation for calling, editing a phone number, sending and receiving mail, etc. according to a user's request, and for receiving consonants or vowels according to an embodiment of the present invention. Control the operation.

The display unit 110 may be configured as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and the like, and outputs various display data according to the status information and the use mode of the terminal.

The voice processor 130 outputs a digital signal by processing a voice input through a microphone, and converts the data received through the antenna into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal.

The RF unit 140 down-converts and filters the signal received through the antenna and outputs the signal, and up-converts the signal output by modulating the CDMA (CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS) from the controller 100. CONVERTING) and filter and transmit to the base station through the antenna.

The memory 150 stores various programs for operating the mobile communication terminal and a plurality of data according to the use of the terminal. In particular, the memory 150 requests and downloads font data from the service providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention. It has a built-in program with the function to receive, save and select fonts according to user's request.

3 shows a schematic operation sequence of the service providing server. The system is in a standby state, and when a content request is received from the portable mobile phone terminal, the function transmits the content to the terminal.

FIG. 4 is a schematic operation sequence of a program embedded in the memory of FIG. 2 requesting, receiving, storing, and using font data in a service providing server according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

For font data download service according to the present invention, a plurality of font data are formed in a file form and stored in a database in a service providing server. The font data file includes various font data suitable for each model of the terminal. In this state, when a user of the portable mobile phone terminal as shown in FIG. 2 wants to download new font data, the user first accesses the service providing server through a portable terminal such as a PC or PDA connected to the communication network or a mobile mobile terminal. do.
