The mobile communication system provides a call connection service between a plurality of terminals or between a mobile communication network and a public telephone network.

The terminal 110 is a mobile terminal device held by a subscriber as an end device of a radio link. The connection between the terminal 110 and the base station is made according to a specific CDMA radio access standard. The terminal 110 includes a control unit for controlling the operation of each function unit according to the planted control logic, a display unit for displaying visual information according to the control signal of the control unit, and changing a user's key input into an electrical signal to input the control unit. It consists of a keypad for. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a typical terminal, a processor constituting a control unit, a liquid crystal display device constituting a display unit, and the like are well known.

The network interlocking device 150 is operated for manganese connection. Network-to-network access interconnects independent communication networks, such as data networks such as telephone networks, subscribing telegraph networks, circuit-switched networks, packet-switched networks, etc., thereby extending the access range of each communication network to realize services that cannot be provided alone. For example, an acoustic coupling terminal may be connected to a telephone using a network connection function to communicate with a computer on which a packet switched network is performed.

A network access device (IWU) including a network interworking device is an entity of a function involved in call establishment between two terminals when two networks are included between two terminals and is defined in Recommendation X.300. As a result, it does not need to be a physically independent device that connects a public switched telecommunication network (PSTN), a packet switched data network (PSPDN), and a circuit switched public data network (CSPDN), and connects two networks. It may belong to.

In such a mobile communication network, a service is expanded and a data area exchanged through a mobile communication terminal is expanding, so a personal information management technique is required. In response, Personal Information Management (PIM) is utilized. Personal information management is to efficiently manage the various information generated in the social and daily life of the individual. PIM manages all your personal information such as phone book, address book, schedule management, consultation management, and memory management.

By applying personal information management, the user accesses the service provider's home page in advance, creates and stores PIM data, sends it to his mobile phone using a wireless data service, saves the terminal, and sends it to the other party if necessary. It solves the hassle of typing directly.

According to Fig. 2, a terminal user accesses a home page established by a mobile communication provider through a network such as the Internet and starts managing personal information. The operator side may allocate a predetermined area in order to allow the user to work on the home page (S210).

The user creates the PIM data on the home page and specifies his terminal number so that the created PIM data is delivered to his terminal. Personal information management data is stored in the memory of the terminal. According to the service environment, the user may modify or transmit the corresponding data (S220 to S230).

As described above, a method for transmitting PIM data using wireless is proposed, and a name, a telephone number, an e-mail address, etc. are transmitted to one's own terminal.

However, the business card delivery method using the mobile communication terminal is not implemented. There is a disadvantage in that it is not possible to transmit its own business card from the own terminal to the other party's terminal only after transmitting the PIM data prepared in advance.

In addition, even when personal information is created and transmitted as PIM data, it is possible to deliver only the set items basically. Therefore, there is a limit that does not satisfy the various tastes of the user, such as when the newly configured information to be transmitted through the terminal to deliver your own unique image.

The present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to configure various types of business cards using a mobile communication terminal so that the terminal of the mobile communication system can be efficiently delivered to the other party's terminal. To provide a personal information delivery method using.

Characterized in that it comprises a step of wirelessly transmitting the personal information data.

In the personal information delivery method using the terminal of the mobile communication system of the present invention for achieving the above object, the control unit of the mobile communication terminal indexes and stores the transmitted personal information data when the personal information data is transmitted from the call-connected counterpart Storing in a medium; When the user of the terminal inputs the index number, the control unit of the terminal is characterized in that it comprises the step of searching and displaying the personal information data indicated by the index number on the storage medium.

The present invention is implemented by the interaction of a terminal user with a terminal and other personal computer. The creation of personal information data is made on a computer which is easy to create documents or images, and the created data is downloaded to a mobile communication terminal via a communication cable.

Various types of personal information data can be organized by enabling the creation / editing of personal information on a computer. That is, the flexibility of data organization is secured. The communication method between the mobile communication terminal and the computer applied when downloading personal information is well known, and such a data communication technique is not limited by the present invention.

The personal information data downloaded to the terminal can be transferred when a call is connected with another person. For this purpose, personal information data should be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium in the terminal is distinguished from the temporary memory for temporarily storing data generated during the process of the controller, and indicates a memory that does not lose the stored data even when the terminal power is turned off.

The controller of the terminal stores the personal information data downloaded from the computer from the personal information data of another person and stores it in a storage medium. The other person's personal information data may be transmitted through a wireless communication from the terminal of the other party to which the call is connected, or the user may directly write and input the data on the computer or the terminal.

The user may call another person indicated by the corresponding index by speed dialing using an index assigned to each personal information data, and may wirelessly transmit his or her personal information data to the other party while being connected to the other party.

The terminal receiving the personal information data wirelessly transmitted through the wireless communication network stores the personal information data in the storage medium. According to the operating technique, the storage of the received personal information is made at the user's choice.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a flowchart of a method of delivering personal information using a terminal of a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of storing a terminal of a business card received in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is an index when transmitting a phone in FIG. Call flow chart referring to.

According to Fig. 3, in this embodiment, personal information data is created using a computer or the like. At this time, it is matters to be written on the business card to create as personal information data. Hereinafter, the personal information data created and wirelessly transmitted will be referred to as "business card data" (S310).

Business card data may include images as well as text. The card data can be created not only by a computer but also by a terminal or other system for operating a document creating program. Here, the creation of business card data includes a series of operations such as editing / modifying business cards that are being created or completed.

For example, business card data includes a name, a main telephone number, an address, a fax number, an e-mail address, and an avatar (AVATA). Avatar means an alter ego or incarnation, and is an animated character that takes the role of a user in cyberspace. In addition to the illustrated examples, it is possible to create unique business card data by adding various pieces of information according to the needs of the user.

The created business card is downloaded from the computer to the terminal. Data transmission between the computer and the mobile communication terminal may be performed in a serial communication or Bluetooth (BLUTOOTH) method (S320).

When the business card is downloaded to the terminal, the control unit of the terminal stores the business card in the storage medium. The storage medium in the terminal is referred to as a memory. Preferably, when storing business card data in the memory, it is distinguished from normal personal information data including business card data of another person. For example, a personal card of a terminal user is stored in the '/ visiting card / Mine' directory, and the personal information data of another person received through wireless communication is stored in the '/ visiting card / Received' directory and managed.

A user who has stored his / her business card data in the terminal may transmit his / her business card data to another person who is connected through a call at the time of telephone transmission. The business card data transmission may be performed immediately after a call connection according to the control logic or may be transmitted according to a user's selective key input during a voice call (S330).

When the card data is transmitted to the terminal through the wireless communication network in this manner, the terminal user confirms the received card data and stores it in the memory (S340).

Herein, the step of storing the business card data of another person received through the wireless communication in the memory of the terminal will be described in more detail.

According to FIG. 4, when a call is connected, the controller determines whether business card data of another person is received (S410).

When the card data of another person is received, the controller determines whether to store the data in the memory. Whether or not to store the card data may be made according to a user's key input, or may be stored indiscriminately according to the control logic of the controller. In order to allow the user to select whether to store the business card data, the received business card data should be displayed on the display unit of the terminal to recognize and select the user's business card (S420).

If storage of the card data is requested, the control section indexes the card data, parses the syntax of the card data, and extracts each item constituting the card. The index applied to the card data is to manage the card separately from other cards so that the controller can access the card data with reference to the index when necessary. The syntax analysis of the card data is performed according to the item structure of the card data (S440).

When setting the index in the card data, set the representative number in the representative number item and save it. By setting the representative number, the speed dial function using the index may be implemented (S450).

The steps for realizing the speed dial by indexing and storing and managing the card data are described in more detail.

According to Fig. 5, the terminal user can activate the speed dial function by searching and selecting an index set for each card data. In this case, the speed dial function may be automatically activated when an index is selected, or may be activated by waiting for a specific key input (S510).

When the index is selected and the speed dial function is activated, the controller determines whether the indexed card data exists in the memory (S520 to 530).

If card data corresponding to the selected index exists in the memory, the representative number item set in the card data is read. The automatic dialing function is realized by the controller making a call to the representative number (S540 to S550).

On the other hand, if the card data corresponding to the index selected in step S530 does not exist in the memory, an appropriate error message is output to cause user's alarm. In a normal operating environment it will be enough to indicate that the wrong index (S560).

The embodiments described above are within the scope of changes, modifications, and equivalents of the present invention. Therefore, the claims of the present invention are not limited to the description of the present embodiment.

According to the personal information transmission method using the terminal of the mobile communication system of the present invention, there is an effect that the user of the terminal can form a unique personal information data and exchange with each other through wireless communication, out of the formal framework.

That is, the terminal user can conveniently and effectively transmit his or her information to the counterpart, and the counterpart's personal information data can be managed in a dynamic manner rather than in a standardized manner. Since the other person's individual avatar is also created by the other person, the other person's personality can be more effectively understood.

In addition, by operating the terminal to which the present invention is applied, it is possible to replace the paper business card has the effect that it is possible to manufacture a terminal that meets the needs of office workers and individual operators.
