2, in the method for transmitting an instance message to a mobile terminal according to the present invention, receiving and storing a mobile terminal number to receive an instance message from a first client terminal which has downloaded and installed an instance messenger (S100 to S110). Wow; In response to a request for transmitting an instance message from the second client terminal to which the instance messenger has been downloaded and installed, the first client terminal checks whether the first client terminal is logged on / off and, if logged off, goes to the corresponding mobile terminal. Supporting to transmit the instance message in the form of a short message (S120 ~ S150).

First, an embodiment of a system configuration that can be introduced to implement the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, an instance message transmission system to a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes an instance message server 30B for transmitting an instance message to a client terminal 10 accessible to the Internet 20, and the instance message server ( 30B) and a short message server 40 for receiving a message from the mobile communication network 50 and transmitting the short message to the mobile terminal 60 through a short message.

The instance message server 30B receives a messenger program download support module for receiving and storing user information accessible through the Internet 20 and downloads a message program to the corresponding user, and a second client from the first client terminal 10A. The second client terminal 20B determines whether to log on or off according to the request for transmitting an instance message to the terminal 20B, and transmits the message when the user is logged on. An instance message that stores the message for transmission at the time of logon and simultaneously transmits the message and the mobile terminal identification number of the second client user to the short message transmission server so as to be wirelessly transmitted to the mobile terminal in the form of a short message. It consists of a transmission module.

The company that provides the instance message has its own homepage, so the setting of the interworking setting with the mobile terminal can be input through the wired Internet or a simple setting in the instance message program installed on the PC.

When a user interacts with a mobile terminal, when the instance message is offline or away, the instance message server transmits a message sent by another user to the mobile provider SMSC.

There are two ways to deliver a message between an instance message server and a short message server.

Each mobile service provider provides a short message service through the Internet. The short message service has a CGI program capable of transmitting a short message through the Internet, which is connected to an SMS by a dedicated line.

Detailed description of the invention in the state configured as described above is as follows.

First, if the instant messenger user wants to receive a message to the mobile terminal while the PC is not available (S100), the mobile terminal number is input to his / her user information when downloading the instant messenger program. It is set to be received by the input mobile terminal number (S110).

Then, according to the message transmission request from the first client terminal 10A to the second client terminal 10B (S120), the instance message server 30B determines the logon state of the second client terminal 10B ( S130).

As a result of the determination of S130, when the second client terminal is logged on, the instance message is transmitted (S140), and when the second client terminal is logged off, the message when the second client terminal logs off from the database Detecting a mobile terminal number that can be received, and transmits the mobile terminal number and the transmission request message to the SMS server (S150).

The SMS server 40 transmits the received message in the form of a short message to the corresponding mobile terminal through the mobile communication network 50.

At this time, if the user who has received the short message through the mobile terminal wants to send a response, the user edits the message and transmits the message. The SMS server transmits the response message back to the instance message server and receives the short message. The one instance message server transmits to the first client terminal in the form of the instance message.

The other instance message server 30B may provide various functions. First, the email service interworking function transmits an email from the third client terminal 10C to the second client terminal 10B which has installed the instance messenger program. When the wireless mobile terminal wants to receive it, the instant message server sends an email alarm to the mobile terminal of the user of the second client terminal 10B. Then, the mobile terminal user knows that the e-mail has arrived, and if the user wants to read the e-mail, the mobile terminal user reads the e-mail by connecting to the corresponding POP3 server.

Next, a file transmission interworking function allows a user to send a file received through an instance message to a mobile terminal, and then use it when it needs to be moved to another place and used elsewhere.

First, upon receiving a file, the instance message server asking whether the user receives a file to the mobile terminal of the user supports whether or not to receive the file in a short message.

A short message is received through the mobile terminal. The short message includes simple information such as sender's information and file size, and the user connects to the instance message server if he / she wants to download it to the mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal stores the file downloaded from the instance message server in a flash.

If you want to receive a file temporarily stored in the mobile terminal to a PC or a server, if the server connected to the Internet, transmit the file via TCP / IP.

In the case of a PC, it can be imported using a sink program, and if it is to be transferred to another instance user, it connects to the instance server and uploads the file to another user.

In the case of a chat, a chat invite message is sent to the user as a short message. If a user wants to respond to a chat, if the phone is equipped with a VM, the VM chat program can be activated to chat, chat using WAP, or interactive short messages.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

The present invention described above has an advantage that a user can use a message, mail, file transfer, chat service, etc. through a mobile terminal even when logged off.
