S1-S7: steps 1-7

In the character service method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, a first step of accumulating the number of message transmissions between two terminals joined as a couple in a mail server and upgrading a character indicating intimacy downloaded to the terminal according to the count value and; A second step of detecting that the two terminals are in close proximity to each other and transmitting the location information to the mail server; The mail server transmits a control signal after receiving the location information, and a third process of displaying a character representing the intimacy in the terminal, wherein the operation of the present invention with reference to FIGS. Detailed description with reference to the following.

The character service method of the present invention is applied to two terminals in which a couple of terminals having a specific relationship, for example, a lover, a friend, or a family, joins a mobile communication company as a couple. The case of joining as a couple will be described as an example.

There may be various conditions for servicing the character representing the intimacy with the couple subscribers, which will be described as an example in which the number of transmission / reception of the message is considered in consideration of the contribution to the telecommunication company which performs the service.

In addition, even if the couple subscribers are far apart from each other, if the above conditions are satisfied, the character service can be performed, but if the service is performed when the couple is close to each other can maximize the service effect. In this case, it is necessary to know the distance between the two mobile phones. To this end, Bluetooth must be built in each terminal.

The terminals display one character downloaded from a mail server (or an internet server) when in the idle state. In addition, the mail server side usually accumulates the number of message transmissions between the two terminals and upgrades the character representing the intimacy downloaded to the terminal according to the count value (S1-S4).

When the couple subscribers are in close proximity to each other, the two terminals recognize that the current two subscribers are located within a predetermined distance by using the internal Bluetooth, and then transmit the recognized location information to the mail server (S5, S6).

Accordingly, the mail server receives the location information indicating that the couple subscribers are in close proximity to each other from the corresponding terminal, and then transmits a control signal to the terminal so that the character showing intimacy is displayed on the LCD display of the terminal.

As a result, by the above-described processing, the characters showing intimacy displayed on the two terminals are changed into characters showing more intimacy according to the number of messages sent between them. For example, at first, two characters are simply displayed on the LCD together with the message "love" as shown in FIG. 2, and then the two characters hug when the cumulative count value of the message transmission count is further increased. If it increases further, it displays the scene where two characters get married.

As described in detail above, the present invention continuously upgrades a character indicating intimacy according to the extent that the number of message transmissions between users who have joined the mobile communication company as a couple exceeds a predetermined value, and the two users are located at adjacent positions. When present, by displaying a character representing the intimacy on the terminal, there is an effect that can contribute to improving the intimacy between the couple.
