Abstract

PURPOSE: A message reception informing method of a mobile communication network is provided to ensure the reliability of communication made between a call originator and a recipient by allowing the recipient to inform the call originator of the confirmation of a message after receiving the message from the call originator. CONSTITUTION: A message is received from a call originator, it is checked whether the message is a character message, and if the message is the character message, the message is transmitted to a recipient(S1-S3). It waits for until the recipient checks the character message and it is judged whether the recipient is moved into a shadow area where a communication is interrupted(S4,S5). If a communication is possible with the recipient, information about whether the recipient has checked the character message is received to confirm whether the recipient has checked the character message(S6,S7). If the message received from the call originator is not the character message, the message is recognized as a voice or an image message and stored in a memory, and it waits for the recipient's message checking(S8-S10). When the recipient's message checking is recognized, reception information including the message checking data and time information is transferred to the call originator(S11).

Description

How to Notify Receive Messages from Mobile Networks {METHOD FOR INFORMING RECEIVED MESSAGE OVER MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK}

The present invention relates to a message reception notification method of a mobile communication network, and more particularly, to a message reception notification method of a mobile communication network which notifies a sender when a receiver checks a message, thereby ensuring the reliability of communication between the sender and the receiver.

In general, a short service is a service provided to a user who owns a mobile terminal in a mobile communication network so that a sender and a receiver communicate through a text message and a voice message.

However, in the prior art as described above, there is a problem in that the sender transmits a message to the receiver and does not know whether the receiver has acknowledged or pending the message, thereby failing to guarantee the reliability of the communication between the sender and the receiver.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the message is received from a mobile communication network which ensures the reliability of the communication between the sender and the receiver by notifying that the receiver receives the message from the sender and confirms the message. The purpose is to provide a notification method.

1 is a flowchart illustrating an operation procedure of a message reception notification method of a mobile communication network of the present invention.

2 is an exemplary view showing a configuration of a mobile communication network in which the method of FIG. 1 is performed.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: receiving a message from a sender and determining whether the message is a text message and transmitting the message to a receiver if the message is a text message; Waiting for the recipient to confirm this text message and determining if the recipient moves to a shadowed area where communication is lost; A third step of determining whether the recipient has confirmed the text message by being notified whether or not the text message has been confirmed by the receiver if communication with the receiver is possible; If the message received from the sender is not a text message, recognizes it as a voice or video message, stores it in a memory, and waits for confirmation of the message by the receiver; In step 3 or 4, if the receiver recognizes the message acknowledgment, the sender may notify the sender of the received information including the confirmation date and time information of the message.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a message receiving notification method of a mobile communication network according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a first step of receiving a message from a sender, determining whether the message is a text message, and transmitting the received message to a receiver is a text message (S1). S3); A second step (S4, S5) of waiting for the receiver to confirm the text message and determining whether the receiver moves to a shaded area where communication is cut off; A third step (S6, S7) of determining whether the recipient has confirmed the text message by being notified of the confirmation of the text message from the receiver if communication with the receiver is possible; If the message received from the sender is not a text message, recognize it as a voice or video message, store it in a memory, and wait for confirmation of the message by the receiver (S8 to S10); In step 3 (S6, S7) or the fourth step (S8 ~ S10) if the recipient acknowledges the message confirmation to the fifth step (S11) to notify the sender the reception information containing the date and time information of the confirmation message An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

2 is an exemplary view showing a configuration of a mobile communication network to which the message reception notification method of the present invention is applied, comprising: a sender's mobile terminal 3 for transmitting a text message, a voice message or a video message; A base station (2) for storing in a memory or transmitting to a destination of the message according to the type of a message received from the sender's mobile terminal (3); It consists of a receiver's mobile terminal 1 which receives and acknowledges a message from the base station 2 and sends the received information to the sender's mobile terminal 3 for this message.

The base station 2 receives the message from the sender and determines whether the message is a text message or a voice or video message.

If the message received from the sender is a text message, the base station 2 transmits this text message to the receiver.

Thereafter, the base station 2 waits for the message confirmation of the receiver and determines whether the receiver moves to the shaded area where the communication is cut off.

At this time, the receiver moves to the shaded area and the mobile terminal 1 possessed by the receiver checks whether the receiver checks the text message by operating a timer. Then, the receiver located in the shaded area confirms the text message received from the base station 2.

Recognizing that the receiver confirms the text message, the receiver's mobile terminal 1 delivers the receiver's message reception to the sender when the receiver leaves the shaded area where the communication is cut off, and also the date, time, etc. of receiving the message. Notify information.

In other cases, if it is determined that the message received from the sender is a voice or video message, the base station 2 stores this voice or video message in memory and checks whether the receiver confirms this message.

The storage of the voice or video message in the memory of the base station 2 is because the data amount of the voice or video message is larger than the data amount of the text message. Therefore, the process is performed in fewer steps than the notification process of receiving information of a text message.

At this time, when the receiver checks the voice or video message stored in the memory of the base station 2, the base station 2 transmits the reception information (reception date, time, etc.) for the message to the sender.

As described in detail above, the present invention has the effect of ensuring the reliability of the communication between the sender and the receiver by notifying that the receiver receives the message from the sender and confirms the message.
