KR20020035508A - The Method of Mobile-Phone directory Communication and Management through Wireless Data Communication - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for transmitting, receiving and managing a mobile terminal telephone directory using wireless data communication is provided to enable a mobile terminal user to easily back up and restore his personal telephone directory. CONSTITUTION: If a user registers a telephone number in a mobile terminal(100), the mobile terminal generates a backup request and transmits the registered telephone directory to the server of a mobile telecommunication company's management center(120) through a base station(110) in the form of a packet. This data are stored in an information provider(130)'s telephone directory database(140). In case that the user generates a telephone directory transmission request, the telephone directory database(140) transmits the requested telephone directory data packet to the management center(120). The management center(120) transmits the telephone directory data packet to the base station(110). Finally the telephone directory data packet is transmitted to the user's mobile terminal.

Description

Mobile phone terminal phone book transmission using wireless data communication. The method of Mobile-Phone directory Communication and Management through Wireless Data Communication}

The present invention relates to a method for maintaining and managing a personal phone book of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for exchanging information between a mobile communication terminal and a database server using wireless data communication.

As the use of mobile communication service has increased rapidly, the number of users who have lost mobile communication devices has increased, and as new models of mobile devices continue to be released, more users are replacing mobile devices, and re-enter previously registered phone numbers into new mobile communication devices. There is a lot of work to do. However, it is not inconvenient to input new phone number information into the mobile communication terminal one by one. So, as an alternative to this, the phone book on the mobile communication terminal is backed up to the computer in advance by using a data communication cable so that it can be transferred to the mobile communication terminal for use later. However, in order to use this method, a data communication cable must be purchased separately. In addition, since the data communication cable connection terminals are different for each mobile communication terminal manufacturer, users of general mobile communication terminals need to purchase several data communication connection cables and cannot use them easily unless they use the same terminal.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to enable users of a mobile communication terminal to easily back up and restore a personal phone book regardless of a mobile communication terminal and a mobile communication service provider. In addition, for users unfamiliar with the buttons of the mobile communication terminal provides a way to easily manage their own phone book with a simple keyboard operation on the Internet.

1 is a configuration diagram for explaining the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention backs up a phone book in a mobile communication terminal to a phone book database by a simple key operation, and transmits the phone book from the phone book database according to a user's request which has been backed up later. .

1 simplifies the association with the user 170 accessing the phone book database using the mobile communication terminal 100, the phone book database 140, and the Internet 160.

For reference, backup refers to storing phonebook data stored in the terminal from the user's mobile terminal to the phonebook database. Transmission refers to receiving phonebook data from the phonebook database to the user's mobile terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, when a phone number is registered in the mobile communication terminal 100, a backup request is generated in the terminal and the transmission of the registered phone book is started from the mobile communication terminal 100 in the form of a packet. Transmitted through the base station 110 to the server of the management center 120 of the mobile communication company and this data is stored when the phone number is input to the telephone book database 140 of the information provider 130 using a pre-connected dedicated line Is stored. In addition, by selecting the backup of the phone book in the terminal, the currently registered phone number is backed up in a batch instead of when a phone book update occurs.

The registered mobile communication terminal user may transmit the phone book backed up by the phone book transmission request to the mobile communication terminal which he or she is using at any time. The transmission procedure transmits the requested phonebook data packet from the phone book database 140 of the information provider 130 to the center 120 of the mobile telecommunication company, and the center 120 of the mobile telecommunication company 120 is located again. The phone book data packet is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal, which finally transmits the requested phone book to the mobile communication terminal. The reason why the phone book database is located on the information provider server instead of the mobile phone server is that if the mobile user loses the mobile terminal, he / she can use the phone book backed up even if he / she subscribes to the service of another mobile company. To make it work. Therefore, the stored phone book database 140 can access the phone number database even if it is not an initially registered mobile communication company only through user authentication. In addition, the user 170 who has obtained user authentication using the Internet 160 may access the backed up phone book database 140 to perform new registration, information modification, and phone number deletion of the user's phone book information.

As described above, a mobile phone user who needs to enter a phone number due to device replacement or loss since the phone book of the individual who backed up the mobile communication terminal during the loss or replacement can be transferred to a new mobile communication terminal without any additional work. They can be freed from these hassles.
