Description

A / mobile client / thin client telecommunication system which can control screen transferring cycle from server to client}

Field of invention

In all industries of the 21st century, efficient information technology is essential for agile response to customers' various requirements. In particular, the rapid dissemination and development of wireless and mobile telephone networks has enabled access to servers anywhere in the world through the Internet, intranets and extranets through the use of Java technology and the utilization of low-cost thin clients. If a mobile phone with a screen resolution (now VGA class) supporting tin client is provided, any program can be executed from the server anytime, anywhere through the screen of the mobile phone. It can provide the functionality of a computer. Such tin clients / servers have already been implemented in wired and wireless data networks, but services are not yet available in mobile telephone networks. Mobile phone network is charged by usage time and amount of data packet. In the current client / server operation method, when the JavaScript is executed even though the same homepage is executed by running a web browser, the server continuously displays the terminal screen state. Since it is different from wired network server / client, it is necessary to selectively transmit mode control function to construct client / server using mobile phone network because the forced charge to Tin Client is different from wired network server / client. When this function is added, Internet web browser connection is executed by the browser of the server linked with the high speed network, receiving all the web data of the address entered by the user, and then collectively displaying screen information on the mobile device (terminal) in the client mode. By transmitting, the user can have fast web access from the mobile phone device, and by limiting the screen transmission, the user can minimize unnecessary data transmission and drastically lower the communication fee. In addition, the server periodically accesses and updates frequently used sites and stores them in a memory means, and when a user requests this site, it reads the stored data offline without connecting to an Internet network (ISP). If they are sent to the site, these sites will not be able to access the site on the server, so they can be quickly viewed on a mobile phone. The Tin Client / Server Internet Access Service using the mobile telephone network which has the characteristics of such fast access and batch compression transmission can dramatically improve site access speed and data amount if the present invention can prevent duplicate screen transmission.

Today's client / server-based computing environment has become increasingly complex and complex with applications running on clients in rapidly changing computing environments, causing problems such as replacement due to lack of capacity and reinstallation of programs on all clients during new application upgrades. One of them is the thin client / server technology. One of them is a thin client / server technology. All programs are installed only on the server, and only the result screen processed by the server is compressed to the client, providing sufficient response speed even in the existing network. This technology provides a speed similar to that of a LAN even when connected, and the present invention is designed to design such a client / server technology in a form that can overcome the limitations, cost savings, and anticipated problems of the mobile phone wireless data network. It is about providing a means.

It can be provided to install the terminal client program in the mobile phone (client terminal device) and to use the Internet web browsing in client mode through the server through the mobile phone network.The characteristics of the mobile phone network are low communication speed, discontinuous communication packet, and mobile. The present invention has been made in that it requires a different process and configuration from a tin client / server system based on a wired network, such as a telephone charge, a screen size of a terminal terminal, a use environment while moving, and the need for providing an offline backup website.

Tin Client compresses the result screen of the program executed on the server and sends it to the client. If the data size is smaller than that of the web document (HTML, XML), but the screen status changes such as JavaScript, the client continuously displays the result screen. If you look at one screen for a while, but the file size increases, mobile phone charges increase, so you can control the server not to send the result screen that you want to send to the client if the user doesn't need the banner advertisement. Should be This requires the present invention in that the server client program of the server can be modified or provided using a proxy server that is responsible for screen conversion and transmission control between the server and the mobile telephone exchange. In addition, due to the characteristics of the wireless network, it is not always delivered in real time, and users do not wait after input and continue to input continuously with the touch screen. Do. This phenomenon is a serious condition when the data communication speed is low or the call quality and traffic are poor. Another object of the present invention is to provide billing through management and statistics of website transmission history for each user when providing ISP service in a client mode using a tin client / server method.

The above and other objects of the present invention can all be achieved by the present invention described below.

An object of the present invention is to carry a portable, mobile terminal for data communication equipped with a large screen display device for providing visual data information centered on the Internet as a service required by the user, by installing a terminal client program to move It is to provide a means for accessing the web by executing an internet browser by accessing an Internet browser dedicated server through a telephone data network . This browser-dedicated server is changed on the screen by the terminal server program after connecting, and it can show the situation of accessing the web because it continuously transmits the screen data to the client. Is not desirable. In order to overcome this problem, the present invention requires that a user enters an address in a server browser, completes access to the site, and then configures the terminal server program to transmit screen data to a client mobile phone. It is to provide a means for eliminating data transmission. If the user changes the status of JavaScript, Flash (banner), or toolbar while viewing the site, the server continuously sends the result screen to the client, and the user continues to receive almost the same screen, increasing the mobile phone bill ( Packet charges). To prevent this , the server sends the result screen to the client according to the user's choice (transmission request signal, transmission only when the active area changes, setting the transmission period, etc.). This can drastically reduce mobile phone bills.

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

1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration and operation state for implementing a server / tin client mobile telephone system having a screen transmission control function according to the present invention.

In forming a wireless communication path with the mobile telephone switching system 4 using the mobile telephone 1 in the form of a client terminal device for executing the terminal client program 12 according to the present invention, it provides a voice communication and a data communication. When performing Internet web browsing in the client mode with the mobile phone 1, a browser execution server running the terminal server program 13 connected to the mobile telephone switching system 4 and connected to the Internet / Intranet network 7 ( 6) through the configuration. The browser execution server 6 has a user characteristic data storage area 7 and a user executable program storage area 9 for recording data such as an execution program and a site address for each user, and website screens read and accessed automatically. Common / duplicate website screen storage area (10) for recording screen sites in the case of overlapping websites and user-specific websites that are frequently used, common execution program storage area (11) for storing programs used in common In this case, some sites are searched and stored at a necessary time by the browser execution server 6, and users are not required to access via the Internet / Intranet network 7 on demand, so that they are sent without connection waiting time. This eliminates the waiting time and transmits the result of the website to the mobile phone in a tin client manner, which not only provides very fast internet search but also dramatically lowers the communication fee. The site access speed is only the quality of the mobile phone network. Determined by

This Tin Client type Internet Access Service (ISP) provides users with individual storage areas (8, 9) and public storage areas (10, 11), and reduces the amount of data through fast website access speed and compression technology. Since the call charge is reduced, the billing is essentially provided with statistical means 12 for managing the user's website transmission history and the settlement of the mobile phone operator. The mobile telephone network is gradually changing to billing by the amount of data used. When browsing through the browser execution server (6) using the tin client method, even when the screen is changed by the banner advertisement, the data is continuously received. Since there is a contradiction in the rate increase, it is necessary for the access mode and the period control program 13 for each accessor to send the result screen to the client only when the accessor wants according to the transmission mode set for each accessor. In this case, unlike the current tin client / server, the result screen of the server and the display screen of the tin client do not coincide. Therefore, the touch input of the tin client may be differently received from the server (for example, a scroll menu). In this case, it can be applied without any difficulty, and it is a necessary technology due to the characteristics of the charge and traffic of the mobile telephone network. This can be provided to be performed by the relay server which controls the comparison transmission of the result screen on the browser execution server 6 and the mobile telephone exchange system 4. Users want to download their desired sites to the terminal and search them offline. The web screen automatic sequential program 13 for each user is provided to download the sites stored in the user characteristic data storage area 8 sequentially. The capture program is separately performed so that the program is recorded in the storage means of the mobile telephone 1. When the website is saved while searching for the website using the tin client terminal 1, it is not stored in the terminal but stored in the browser execution server 6, so that rescanning is not possible in the offline state, unlike the wired network. In use, a program capable of storing the current display screen in the terminal 1 at the user's choice is required. In such a client / server system, it is advantageous for the client terminal user to install and enter the softkey 14 in the server program in terms of multilingual support, support for other operating systems, and ease of use of the client. It can be conveniently configured. When entering the address using a web browser, "http: // www.", ".Co.kr /", etc. are made as a special key, and alpha numeric keys are configured together to make up to 16 keys. You can reduce the input. Alternatively, a separate address entry window is provided. Input means for changing the extension before and after (for example, http: // www. () .Com is configured to enter only the address in parentheses and the extension (.com, .co. jp, etc.) can be installed in a softkey. Mobile is also expected to be effective in optimizing ease of use and cost.

In other words, the present invention is to register the frequently used sites in a server running a web browser and periodically search for the sites and write them to the storage means of the server so that if users want the site, they do not access the site separately (offline). By configuring reading and sending the result screen to the client , the connection waiting time can be reduced so that the user can immediately see the contents of the site. Considering that most Internet users do not visit more than 100 sites, there is an area that stores the site address and the site contents updated and updated periodically for each user. If you enter a user name, the registered list is displayed, and if you select the list, you can organize the favorites on the server so that you can view the saved site immediately without accessing the ISP separately. At this time, the web data of sites common to each user may be stored in common in the server.

The client terminal can be configured to execute the save program to save the web screen viewed using the browser program of the server. The client saves the file automatically stored in the client while sequentially sending all the sites registered in the user's user area. Once the program is configured , you can see all of your favorite sites while offline.

The present invention is easy to carry and is visualized by the possibility of a data communication mobile phone equipped with a large screen display device to provide visual data information centered on the Internet as a service required by the user, and to realize high-speed data communication. With the advent of the video mobile phone (IMT2000), a tin client terminal function as well as a simple voice and data communication function has been enabled, and provides a means for reducing the communication fee by controlling redundant data transfer. In other words, if a server program on a wireless data communication network is executed using a mobile phone, if there is a change in the screen display state, the current terminal server program transmits the screen state to the client. Likewise, even though the user does not feel the necessity of updating the screen, there is a problem that the automatic transmission is made and the charge is continuously charged on the mobile phone network. In addition, it can reduce communication charges and ultimately provide a network mobile phone similar to a network computer so that applications and data on the server can be used regardless of memory capacity. Moble Computing) It is expected to expand into the field.

Simple modifications or changes of the present invention can be easily carried out by those skilled in the art, and such modifications or changes can be seen to be included in the scope of the present invention.
