Description

Apparatus and method for confirming incoming call information of mobile phone using internet {APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ASCERTAIN A MESSAGE RECEIVED BY INTERNET FOR MOBILE PHONE}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for confirming incoming call information of a mobile phone. In particular, a public wireless network directly connects an HLR server and an internet to manage a home location register (HLR) through a homepage of a service provider. The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for confirming incoming call information of a mobile phone using the Internet, which can confirm incoming call information.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a mobile phone information management in a conventional communication system. As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile phone 1 capable of making a call while moving and a communication service provided by the mobile phone 1 are provided. Parameter Administration) through a web network (3) for accessing the web server of the operator network (2) and the operator network (2) to read, modify or edit the information of the mobile phone using a web server (not shown) It is composed.

At this time, the information of the mobile phone provided by the web server can be viewed through a web browser. The user information that can be viewed through the web browser can be divided into read-only information 4 and editable or editable information 5. . In addition, the read-only information 4 includes mobile phone information. Such mobile phone information includes mobile phone number, channel information, software version, roaming information, and total talk time. In addition, information 5 that can be modified or edited includes a scheduler 5a, a telephone list 5b, an alarm time, an anniversary 5c, and the like.

In order to manage the mobile phone information of the present invention, the specification provided by the IS-683A should support OTAPA, but the IS-683A does not allow the operator to request information on the mobile phone or allow others to access the mobile phone. There is a standard for users to view on the web.

In the method for managing a mobile phone in the communication system of the present invention, first, information stored in the mobile phone 1 using the graphical user interface environment of the web server of the mobile phone 1 and the operator's network 2 should be read, modified or edited. At this time, the user accesses the web server of the operator's network 2 by using a web client and requests to retrieve information stored in his mobile phone 1.

In response to the request, the provider network 2 establishes a traffic channel with the cellular phone 1 and requests information from the cellular phone. In response to the request for information, the cellular phone responds to the cellular phone information with the cellular phone information. In response to the response, the provider network 2 reads the information of the mobile phone 1 and provides it to the mobile phone user through its web server. At this time, the message processing between the operator network 2 and the mobile phone 1 uses the OTA as described above. The operator network 2 releases the traffic channel after reading the information of the mobile phone 1.

Subsequently, the user of the mobile phone 1 can modify or edit the information while viewing the information on the web server. In this case, the information provided by the provider network 2 may be divided into read-only information and editable or editable information. For example, a list of telephone numbers may be modified or edited.

At this time, the information that the user can see on the web server can be divided into three categories. First, it is information that can only be read as important information for call processing. For example, channel information, system identification information (SID), and network identification number (NID) information may be read only and not modified or edited by the user. At this time, the mobile phone information management function on the web server can remove the access item for this function. In other words, it is up to the service provider to show information important to call processing to the user or to disable the reading function. And second, information that does not affect call processing but cannot be modified or edited. For example, the call duration menu (last call, total call, outgoing call) and some of the secret features (software version information). Third is information that can be modified or edited. For example, there is a scheduler, a list of phone numbers, a sound control item, and a phone ring item. In this case, the information that can be modified or edited on the web server may be referred to as information that can be modified or edited using a keypad of the mobile phone.

As described above, after modifying or editing the information of the mobile phone using the information that can be modified or edited, when the modification or editing is completed, the web server information update request message of the operator's network is transmitted using the own web client. The operator's network then sends an information update response message.

Finally, the operator network sets up the traffic channel to the mobile phone 1 again and instructs the mobile phone 1 to transmit and store newly modified or edited information using a data burst message. Store the modified or edited information in memory.

Therefore, in the related art, a method of managing information of a mobile phone using the Internet that can modify or edit the contents of the mobile phone is used.

However, in the prior art as described above, when the mobile phone is turned off or the battery is discharged, how many telephones are from the mobile phone, how many text messages are there and what is the content of the mobile phone? There is a problem that cannot be confirmed.

Accordingly, the present invention, which was devised in view of the above problems, directly connects the HLR server added to the Internet to manage a Home Location Register (HLR) in the public wireless network and the Internet through a service provider's homepage. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of confirming incoming call information of a mobile phone using the Internet, which can confirm incoming call information.
