본 발명은 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 비교적 오래된 이동통신기기의 오퍼레이터 알고리즘을 최신의 것으로 업그레이드시키는 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a software upgrade method of a mobile communication device, and more particularly, to a software upgrade method of a mobile communication device for upgrading an operator algorithm of a relatively old mobile communication device to the latest one.

일반적으로, 통신기기는 유/무선전화기와 이동통신기기(개인휴대통신기기)로 구분되며, 상기 이동통신기기는 상기 유/무선전화기의 불편한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 900MHz∼1.8GHz의 주파수대역을 사용하는 것으로써, 신속한 정보수용을 위하여 그 수요가 점차적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이는 가입자의 개인 전화번호가 설정되어 있으며, 그 가입자가 언제 어디서든지 또는 이동하면서도 일반전화는물론 타 개인휴대통신기기와 전화접속하여 편리하고 신속하게 통화메세지를 전달할 수 있어서 그 활용도가 급격하게 넓혀져 가는 경향이 있다.In general, a communication device is classified into a wired / wireless phone and a mobile communication device (personal portable communication device), and the mobile communication device uses a frequency band of 900 MHz to 1.8 GHz to solve the inconvenience of the wired / wireless phone. As a result, the demand for this information is increasing gradually. The subscriber's personal phone number is set, and the subscriber's phone number can be delivered conveniently and quickly by connecting with other personal mobile communication devices as well as other general mobile communication devices anytime, anywhere or mobile. Tend to go.

또한, 최근에는 음성통화기능에 통화자의 영상을 함께 통신하는 한 차원 더 진보된 IMT-2000이 개발되고 있으며, 개발의 초기단계와, 최종단계 사이의 기술 수준은 상당한 갭(GAP)이 있을 것으로 예상된다.In addition, IMT-2000 has been developed to the next level, which communicates the video of the caller with the voice call function, and there is a significant gap (GAP) between the initial stage and the final stage of development. do.

그런데, 이와 같은 이동통신기기는 초기의 이동통신서비스가 점차적으로 진보된 이동통신서비스로 발전하면서 함께 발전하기 때문에 초기버젼의 제품이 진보된 이동통신서비스를 받기 위하여 제작사들의 서비스센타에서 소프트웨어 즉 오퍼레이터 알고리즘으로 업그레이드하여야 하는 불편한 문제점이 있다.However, such mobile communication devices are developed as early mobile communication services gradually develop into advanced mobile communication services. Therefore, software, operator algorithms, etc. are used at service centers of manufacturers to receive advanced mobile communication services. There is an inconvenient problem to upgrade to.

또한, 이동통신기기가 뜻하지 않은 오류가 발생할 경우 제작사들의 서비스센타에서 그 이동통신기기에 알맞는 소프트웨어를 설치하여야 하는 번거롭고 불편한 문제점이 있다.In addition, when an unexpected error occurs in a mobile communication device, there is a troublesome and inconvenient problem of installing software suitable for the mobile communication device at a service center of manufacturers.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로, 이동통신기기 즉 셀룰라폰,PCS폰, PDA, IMT-2000등의 업그레이드 소프트웨어를 간편하고 신속하게 설치할 수 있도록 한 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법을 제공하는데, 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the software upgrade method of the mobile communication device to enable easy and quick installation of upgrade software, such as a mobile communication device, such as a cellular phone, PCS phone, PDA, IMT-2000 To provide, for that purpose.

상기 목적은, 본 발명에 따라, 셀룰라폰과 PDA와 PCS와 IMT-2000 중 어느 하나의 이동통신단말기로부터 통신접속을 확인하는 단계와, 상기 단말기의 업그레이드를 위한 안내에 따라 그 단말기의 통신방식과 제작사와 통신사업자를 선택하는 단계와, 상기 선택에 기초하여 다운로드를 위한 업그레이드용 소프트웨어를 상기 단말기에게 전송하여 완료를 확인하는 단계를 포함하는 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법에 의해 달성된다.The object of the present invention is to verify the communication connection from any one of the mobile communication terminal of the cellular phone, PDA, PCS and IMT-2000 according to the present invention, and the communication scheme of the terminal according to the guidance for upgrading the terminal; And a step of selecting a manufacturer and a communication provider, and transmitting completion of the upgrade software to the terminal based on the selection to confirm completion.

또한, 상기 소프트웨어를 전송하기 전에 상기 단말기의 기종 및 시스템을 분석하여 그 단말기의 통신용 동기를 확인하는 단계를 더 포함하는 것이 바람직하다.The method may further include analyzing a model and a system of the terminal before transmitting the software to confirm the synchronization for the communication of the terminal.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법을 나타낸 플로우차트이다.1 is a flowchart illustrating a software upgrade method of a mobile communication device according to the present invention.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 따른 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법을 상세하게 설명하면 다음과 같다. 도 1은 본 발명에 따른 이동통신기기의 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법을 나타낸 플로우차트이다.Hereinafter, a software upgrade method of a mobile communication device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a software upgrade method of a mobile communication device according to the present invention.

본 소프트웨어 업그레이드를 위한 구성은 먼저, 업그레이드를 원하는 다수개의 이동통신기기 즉 PCS, PDA, 셀룰라폰, IMT-2000과 같은 이동통신단말기와, 상기 이동통신단말기의 통신접속에 따라 원하는 업그레이드 소프트웨어를 상기 이동통신기기에게 전송하는 업그레이드용 무선통신서버로 이루어져 있다.The configuration for upgrading the software first, the mobile communication terminal, such as PCS, PDA, cellular phone, IMT-2000 and the like to upgrade the desired upgrade software according to the communication connection of the mobile communication terminal It consists of an upgraded wireless communication server that transmits to a communication device.

본 소프트웨어 업그레이드방법은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 업드레이드를 원하는 이동통신단말기 즉 무선인터넷 또는 무선전화통신으로 통신접속된 단말기를 확인하여(1) 상기 단말기에게 업그레이드를 위한 안내메세지를 청각과 시각으로 전송한다(2). 상기 안내메세지에 따라 사용자에 의한 단말기가 소프트웨어(SW)의 업그레이드를 원함을 인식하고(S3) 사용자에 의한 상기 단말기의 통신방식이 CDMA인지를 인식한다(S4).As shown in FIG. 1, the software upgrade method checks a mobile communication terminal that wants to be upgraded, that is, a terminal connected through wireless Internet or wireless telephone communication (1). (2). According to the guide message, the terminal recognizes that the user wants to upgrade the software (SW) (S3) and recognizes whether the communication method of the terminal by the user is CDMA (S4).

그리고, 상기 단말기의 제작사와 이동통신사업자를 사용자에게 유도하여 확인하면(S5,S6), 무선통신서버는 상기 단말기와 통신을 통하여 그의 기종과 시스템을 분석하고(S7), 동시에 업그레이드의 소프트웨어를 다운로드하기 위한 통신용 동기를 검출하여(S12) 상기 동기와 동일한 주기로 상기 단말기에게로 다운로드용 업그레이드 소프트웨어를 전송한다(S13). 다운로드가 완료되었는지를 확인하여 정송을 종료한다(S14). 그러면 상기 단말기는 상기 소프트웨어를 시스템의 OS 메모리에 저장하여 업그레이드된 알고리즘환경을 구축한다.When the manufacturer and the mobile communication company of the terminal are guided to the user and confirmed (S5, S6), the wireless communication server analyzes the model and the system through communication with the terminal (S7) and simultaneously downloads the upgrade software. In order to detect the synchronization for communication (S12), the download upgrade software is transmitted to the terminal at the same period as the synchronization (S13). Check that the download is complete, the transfer is terminated (S14). The terminal then stores the software in the OS memory of the system to build an upgraded algorithm environment.

또한, 상기 4단계에서 CDMA가 아니고 TDMA의 통신방식인 경우(S8) 무선통신서버는TDMA의 통신방식에 따르는 단말기의 제작사와 이동통신사업자를 확인하고(S9,S10) 상기 단말기와 통신을 통하여 그의 기종과 시스템을 분석하고(S11), 동시에 업그레이드의 소프트웨어를 다운로드하기 위한 통신용 동기를 검출하여(S12) 상기 동기와 동일한 주기로 상기 단말기에게로 다운로드용 업그레이드 소프트웨어를 전송한다(S13). 결국 전송을 종료하고(S14), 상기 단말기 스스로는 소프트웨어를 받아 진보된 알고리즘환경을 구축한다.In addition, in step 4, when the communication method is not CDMA but TDMA (S8), the wireless communication server checks the manufacturer and mobile communication company of the terminal according to the TDMA communication method (S9, S10) and communicates with the terminal. The model and the system are analyzed (S11), and at the same time, a communication synchronization for downloading the upgraded software is detected (S12) and the download upgrade software is transmitted to the terminal at the same cycle as the synchronization (S13). Eventually the transmission ends (S14), the terminal itself receives the software to build an advanced algorithm environment.

여기서, 상기 소프트웨어의 종류는 그랜드로밍을 위하거나, 진보된 통신화경을 구축하기 위한 것이다.Here, the type of software is for grand roaming or to build an advanced communication scene.

본 발명은 이동통신기기 즉 셀룰라폰, PCS폰, PDA, IMT-2000등의 업그레이드소프트웨어를 간편하고 신속하게 설치할 수 있기 때문에 이동통신사업자의 서비스를 향상시켜 보다 고객에게 닿아 갈 수 있으므로 사용빈도가 향상되는 효과가 있으며, 단말기 사용자의 편리성을 더욱더 향상시키는 효과가 있다.Since the present invention can easily and quickly install mobile communication devices, such as cellular phones, PCS phones, PDAs, and IMT-2000, it is possible to improve the service of mobile operators and reach more customers, thus increasing the frequency of use. There is an effect, and there is an effect to further improve the convenience of the terminal user.
