The present invention relates to an SMS telephone system equipped with a remote message transmission function and a control method thereof. In particular, various messages received in the absence of a user of an SMS telephone are searched for a registered user interlocking telephone number and received by the retrieved telephone number. The present invention relates to an SMS telephone system having a remote message transmission function for transmitting a message and a control method thereof.

In general, as the industrial society develops, information communication systems are widely used to transfer data from one point to another desired more appropriately and quickly. Such communication systems are usually homogeneous or heterogeneous communication devices which are geographically dispersed. In most cases, information devices are connected to a network to enable sharing and communication of resources. In addition, in such a network, a telephone system is usually used through an exchange to exchange information converted into an electric signal with a counterpart.

However, such a conventional telephone system is provided with a function of storing a short message service (SMS) recently transmitted from a caller when a user is absent.

Then, referring to FIG. 1, a telephone system equipped with a conventional SMS function as described above, an interface unit 72 for interfacing a call signal of an external caller transmitted from an exchange system 71 via a PSTN network 70 is described.

It is determined whether a ring signal is input. At this time, if the hook-off signal is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the ring signal is input, the microcomputer 74 proceeds to the user missed mode and the user misses the guide message stored in the memory unit 75 in advance. To the counterpart phone 79.

At this time, if a short message (SMS) or an e-mail is transmitted from the counterpart phone 79, the exchange system 71 processes the predetermined signal and transmits it to the phone system 73. Then, the microcomputer 74 of the telephone 73 receives the short message through the interface unit 72, processes the predetermined signal through the data signal processing unit 78, and stores the short message in the memory unit 75. Then, when the user wants to see the short message stored in the memory unit 75 through the keypad unit 77, the microcomputer 74 displays the short message desired by the user on the LCD 76.

However, such a conventional SMS phone does not have a means to properly notify the user when an urgent message is received in the absence of the user. There is no way to confirm accordingly has a problem that significantly reduces the ease of use of the SMS phone.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, search for a user interworking phone number registered in advance for various messages received in the absence of the user of the SMS phone and transmit the received message to the searched phone number. Therefore, since the user of the SMS phone can check the various messages received by the user regardless of the place, accordingly to provide a SMS phone system with a remote message transmission function that can maximize the usability of the SMS phone and its control method. The purpose is.

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

The SMS telephone system of the present invention is an interface for interfacing a call signal or text data of an external caller, such as e-mail or SMS data, transmitted from an exchange system 2 via a trunk line 1, as shown in FIG. The unit 3, the data signal processor 4 for modulating and demodulating data input / output via the interface unit 3, for example, voice call signal, email or SMS data, and the data signal processor 4 And a memory unit 6 for storing other processed data of the SMS telephone 5 including the data, for example, e-mail or SMS data, and a priority retransmission function of the SMS data or e-mail data stored in the memory unit 6. The control unit 7 for controlling the overall function of the SMS phone 5 and priorities of the priority designated by the user for the message priority retransmission function of the control unit 7. And a priority management unit 8 and the keypad section 10 is the one connected to the user and confirmation of the button member (9) is provided in the control unit 7 for managing recording and storing all houses.

Then, one end of the control unit 7 is connected to the LCD panel 11 for displaying the internal processing of the SMS phone 5 to the outside.

Next, look at the control method of the present invention SMS phone system as described above.

First, the method of the present invention proceeds from the initial state (S1) to the priority telephone number registration step (S2) as shown in FIG. 3 to record and store a plurality of linked telephone numbers that can be contacted in the absence of the user. After the priority telephone number registration step S2, the user absence determination step S3 is performed to determine whether the user of the current SMS telephone is absent. At this time, if the user is not absent as judged during the user absence determination step (S3), the process proceeds to the general function execution step (S4) and processes data such as a normal general telephone, SMS, or e-mail.

However, if the user is absent as a result of the determination during the user absence determination step (S3), the process proceeds to the message reception determination step (S5) to determine whether a message has been received from the current CO line. Here, if the message is not received from the current CO line as a result of the determination during the message reception determination step (S5), the process proceeds to the end step. However, when the message is received from the current CO line as a result of the determination during the message reception determination step (S5), the process proceeds to the priority telephone number search step (S6) to store the received message and has the highest priority among the preset interlocking phone numbers. Search for a phone number. After the priority telephone number retrieval step S6, the process of transmitting the missed message S7 is performed to transmit the received message to the telephone number having the highest priority currently retrieved. Further, after the missed message transmission step S7, the transmission success determination step S8 is carried out to determine whether the message transmission to the telephone number having the highest priority of the absence is successful.

At this time, if the transmission of the message to the telephone number having the highest priority of absent as a result of the determination in the transmission success determination step (S8) proceeds to the end step. However, if the transmission of the message to the telephone number having the highest priority is absent as a result of the determination during the transmission success determination step (S8), the process proceeds to the next priority telephone number search step (S9) to present the current number of preset interlocking telephone numbers. Search for the next phone number with the highest priority except for the phone number used.

After the next priority telephone number retrieval step S9, the message retransmission step S10 is performed to retransmit the received message to the telephone number having the next highest priority currently searched. After the message retransmission step S10, the message transmission success determination step S11 is performed to determine whether the message retransmission to the next highest priority phone number is successful.

At this time, if the message transmission success determination step (S11) is determined as a result of the successful retransmission of the message to the next highest priority telephone number proceeds to the end step. However, if it is determined during the message transmission success determination step (S11) that the message retransmission to the next highest priority phone number is not successful, the process returns to the next priority phone number search step (S9) and repeats the loop.

In other words, the SMS telephone 5 of the present invention first sets the missed interlocking telephone number recording menu through the keypad unit 10 on the LCD panel 11, and then a plurality of interlocking telephone numbers to which the user will be contacted during his absence. Set by assigning priority to each. Then, the control unit 7 of the SMS phone 5 stores it in the priority management unit 8.

At this time, the control unit 7 of the SMS phone 5, if a data signal is input from the SMS server 12 of the external exchange system 2 via a trunk line, it is interfaced through the interface unit 3 to the data signal processing unit ( Enter 4). For example, when the input data signal is an FSK signal, that is, an email or SMS signal, the control unit 7 converts the FSK signal into a digital signal through the data signal processing unit 4 and stores it in the memory unit 6. The control unit 7 separates only sender information such as an email address, a phone number, a sender's name, and an advertisement company's name of the sender, and stores the sender information in an area of the memory unit 6 designated as an address book area.

Here, the controller 7 determines whether the user is absent by determining whether the user has pressed the absence confirmation button 9 of the keypad unit 10. At this time, the control unit 7 displays the message received on the LCD panel 11 in a normal manner if the user has not pressed the absence confirmation button 9.

However, when the controller 7 confirms that a message is input from the external trunk line 1 while the user presses the absence confirmation button 9, the controller 7 is in the absence of the user set by the user through the priority manager 8. Search for the linked phone number having the highest priority among the linked phone numbers to be contacted. Then, the control unit 7 combines the searched interworking phone number with the highest priority and the currently received message to form a message for sending, and then transmits the message for sending to the corresponding phone number.

Here, the control unit 7 proceeds to the normal standby mode if the message transmitted to the telephone number having the current highest priority is successfully delivered. However, if the current message transmission is not successful, the control unit 7 searches for the telephone number having the next highest priority among the remaining telephone numbers except the currently attempted telephone number through the priority management unit 8. Then, the control unit 7 combines the searched next-order priority telephone number and the currently received message to form a message for sending, and then transmits the message for sending to the corresponding phone number.

At this time, the controller 7 proceeds to the normal standby mode if the message transmitted to the telephone number having the next highest priority is successfully delivered. However, if the message transmission is not successful, the control unit 7 repeats the above process to find the next phone number and continues to resend the message.

Therefore, according to the present invention, all messages received by the SMS telephone 5 can be transmitted with little failure even when they are not present.

As described above, according to the present invention, a user of an SMS phone is connected to a place by searching for a registered user interworking phone number and transmitting the received message to the searched phone number. You can check the various messages received to you without having the advantage of maximizing the usability of the SMS phone accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, a plurality of interlocking telephone numbers are assigned to have a priority and the message is transmitted according to the priority when the message is transmitted remotely while the user is absent, thereby minimizing a transmission error of the message transmitted to the SMS user. It also works.
