5 and 9 to 11, first, when a confirmation key is input on the display screen 9a of the phone page, the controller 100 displays a menu window (or pop-up window) including sub-menu items as shown in (9b). ) Is displayed. The controller checks whether a selection key for selecting one of the submenu items is input. If the selection key is input, the controller 100 determines whether "Send" is selected among the submenu items in step 501. If the send is selected, the controller 100 displays sub-items of the send in step 503 as shown in (9c). For example, the sub-items include "send me", "send phone page", "send card", and the like. In operation 505, the controller 100 determines whether a selection key for selecting one of the displayed lower items is input. If the selection key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 507 and displays the details of the selected item.

For example, if Send My Intro is selected, a screen including profile information of the subscriber is displayed as shown in (9d). After displaying on the subscriber profile screen, the controller 100 checks whether the send is selected in step 509. If the send is selected, the control unit 100 displays a screen for requesting input of the other party's phone number as shown in step 9e in step 511. In step 513, the subscriber inputs a phone number according to key input. In operation 515, the controller 100 formats the subscriber profile (name, birthday, email address, address) into a short message and transmits the short message to the counterpart. In step 516, the control unit 100 asks whether to continue the "phone page" menu, and checks whether the corresponding end key is input. If an end key for terminating the menu execution is input, the controller 100 ends the program for the menu, otherwise, the control unit 100 returns to step 317 of FIG. 3.

If there are two ways to transfer the phone page and the card can be used.

For example, since the phone page and the card include the picture file, the terminal accesses the wireless Internet without using a short message as described above, and stores the phone page and the card in the server 6 first, and then the server. 6 sends a short message to the counterpart notifying the reception of the phone page and the card. The other party receiving the short message accesses the server through a wireless Internet connection and checks the phone page and the card.

As another example, the phone page and the card are transmitted to the other party through the PtoP (Phone to Phone) using the other party's mobile IP without going through the server 6 as described above. That is, the phone page can be directly transmitted to another subscriber through a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 501 not to send, the control unit 100 checks in step 517 whether your own menu is selected. If the user's own menu is selected, the controller 100 displays a menu window (or pop-up window) including sub-menu items in step 519 (10c). In operation 521, the controller determines whether a selection key for selecting one of the submenu items is input. If the selection key is input, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 523 to display the selected submenu and checks whether there is a key input for modifying the displayed submenu in step 525. If there is a key input for the correction, the process proceeds to step 527 and the modification of each item and contents of the own menu is performed, and then the process proceeds to step 317 of FIG. 3 to display menu items.

For example, suppose you have two items in your menu (1.My boyfriend ..., 2.First meeting with him.), Such as (10c), and let the subscriber choose 1 When the subscriber selects 2, the screen for modifying the second one's own menu is displayed as shown in (10e). If there is a key input and a confirmation key input for the subscriber's modification, the modified contents are stored and displayed in response to the key input. Also, as shown in (10d), a user's own menu can be added and deleted by using a predetermined menu key.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 517 that it is not "my own menu", the controller 100 checks whether "basic" is selected in step 529. If the basic item is selected on the screen as shown in (11c), the control unit 100 proceeds to step 531 and displays items of the basic item as shown in (11d). In operation 533, the controller 100 checks whether a selection key for selecting one of the displayed items is input. When the selection key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 531 and displays the selected item. In operation 537, the controller 100 checks whether there is a key input for correcting the displayed content. If there is a key input for the correction, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 539 and stores and displays the modified contents in response to the key input.

For example, if "born day" is selected on the screen as shown in (11d), the control unit 100 displays a screen for correcting the birth date as shown in (11g), and if "e-mail address" is selected A screen for modifying an e-mail address is displayed as shown in (11f), and a screen for correcting an address is displayed as shown in (11e) when "where to buy" is selected. If there is an input of a key input and a confirmation key for correction, the modified contents are stored and displayed in response to the key input.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step 601, the server checks whether a message including a phone page or a card is received from a mobile switching center (MSC). The message is transmitted by the mobile terminal and arrives at the server via a base station (BTS), a control station (BSC), and an exchange (MSC) corresponding to the mobile terminal. If a message including the phone page and the card is received, the server proceeds to step 603 to store the received phone page and the card in a corresponding storage area allocated to the subscriber. In operation 605, the server analyzes the message and checks whether the phone page or card should be delivered to a specific counterpart. If it is determined that transmission is necessary, the server proceeds to step 607 to generate a short message with a content requesting connection to the server, and if it is determined that the transmission is not necessary, ends immediately.

In operation 609, the server transmits the generated short message to the counterpart. The short message is transmitted to the counterpart terminal via a mobile switching center (MSC), a control station (BSC), and a base station (BTS) to which the counterpart terminal belongs. After transmitting the short message, the server checks whether a connection request message is received from the counterpart terminal in step 611. If the access request message is received from the counterpart terminal, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 613 to approve the access and transmits the stored phone page or card to the counterpart terminal. In general, when a server connection is approved, a dedicated traffic channel is allocated to a radio section between the base station and the counterpart terminal, and a phone page or a card from the server is transmitted to the terminal through the assigned traffic channel.

Since the configuration of the terminal for transmitting the phone page and the terminal for receiving the phone page is the same, it will be described with reference to FIG. 2 again.

Referring to FIG. 7, first, in step 701, the controller 100 checks whether a short message is received. If the short message is received, the subscriber is notified of the receipt of the short message and the short message is stored in the corresponding storage area. In operation 703, the controller 100 checks whether there is a key input for confirming the short message. If the short message confirmation key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 705 to display the short message on the screen (display). If the short message is transmitted by the wireless Internet server, the controller 100 displays a server connection request message. In step 707, the controller 100 checks whether a server access key (for example, a call key) is input. If the server access key is input, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 709 to transmit a server access request message to access the wireless Internet server, and in step 711 to receive the corresponding phone page or card from the wireless Internet server. To display.

In operation 713, the controller 100 checks whether a phonebook storage key is input by a user's key input. Here, the phonebook storage key may be implemented as a menu item of a menu window that pops up when a menu key is input on a screen displaying the content of a short message. If the phone book storage key is input, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 715 and automatically stores personal profile information (phone number, e-mail address, mobile number, etc.) included in the phone page or card in the phone book (memory). Save it.

Although the embodiment of FIG. 7 illustrates a method for a subscriber to access a wireless phone page by connecting to a server, as another example, the phone page is directly transmitted to another subscriber through a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection. You can also use the method. In this case, the other subscriber does not need to check the phone page by accessing the server. On the other hand, if the received short message is not a message requesting a connection to the server, but a short message including personal information, the subscriber may store the personal information in the phone book by directly inputting the phone book storage key without accessing the server. .

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by those equivalent to the scope of the claims.
