1 is a block diagram of a wireless Internet search engine apparatus according to a process of transmitting and receiving a text message to a specific number according to the present invention.

The user 110 inputs a desired search word in the SMS text sending window of the mobile phone. This is done by users who used the old SMS to enter text in the same way as before instead of using the new method or the new user interface. However, a specific service number is entered in the received number, which uses the same system as the number used for the existing MO service.

The text message sent by the user arrives at the SMSC 120 of the mobile communication company. The SMSC checks the reception number of this message and sends it to the corresponding MO Server 210.

The MO server 210 stores the calling number and the message of the customer in the customer request DB server 220. When the MO server creates a new record in the customer request DB and stores the customer request, the search engine server 230 that continuously monitors the DB content recognizes this and performs the following task.

The search engine server 230 applies the search word obtained above from the search DB server 240 and searches whether there is a corresponding item. The search DB server stores the search word, its short description, and the link address (URL) to which to go. The search DB is collected by a search robot, and the content is searched from a wireless Internet site or a WAP site from time to time, and the result is stored in a searchable form by category in the search DB. Multiple records can exist for a search word, and priorities among the records are stored. After the search engine queries the number of records corresponding to the search word sent by the customer, execution is branched by dividing the number of records into zero and greater than zero.

First, if the number of records is 0, there is no search result for the search term entered by the customer. If the MT Server is notified that there is no caller ID and no search result, the MT Server indicates that there is no search result with the caller ID. Send a text message via SMSC. Then, the content that there is no search result is displayed on the terminal 110 of the customer.

However, if the number of records is greater than 0, the search result for the search word entered by the customer exists, so the URL for viewing the search result should be sent to the customer in the form of SMS callback. To this end, when the search engine notifies the MT Server of the client's caller's number and search term, the MT Server checks the caller's number and attaches the search word as a parameter to the URL that matches the client's terminal browser environment and enters it in the callback part of the text message. Send a text message.

Then, the customer 110 receives the answer to access the corresponding callback URL by pressing the SEND button. The access process is connected to the wireless Internet server or the WAP server 320 through the MSC, IWF 130, WAP Gateway 310 of the mobile communication company. The WAP Server receiving the access request drives the search engine 330 using the search word transmitted together in the GET method. The search engine searches for the content corresponding to the delivered search term in the search DB 240. Since there is more than one record matching the search term in the search DB, the page is written in real time using Markup Language that can be read by WML or the requested browser by creating a description and link as short as the number of records and responding through the WAP Server. Send it.

Then, pages including one or more links are displayed on the terminal of the customer by category, and the customer can select a desired link through the selection button of the terminal, go to the corresponding site, and enjoy the wireless Internet.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of accessing a wireless Internet and a method of outputting search data and a site according to the present invention.

3, 4 and 5 are examples of screens that a user sees by accessing a callback URL according to the present invention. The screen shown here is just one simple example, and more various sites can be used in actual service.

3 is an example screen in which a user receives a search word after inputting a search word and then sends an SMS.

FIG. 4 is an example of a screen which is accessed by automatically accessing the callback URL displayed on the screen of FIG. 3 when the user call button is pressed.

FIG. 5 is an example of a screen displayed when the user selects number 1 on the screen of FIG. 4, and therefore, the WAP site list of major car makers is displayed on the screen because the user selects the number 1 car manufacturer. In this screen, when a user selects a maker (eg, Hyundai Motor Company) to visit, he / she moves to the corresponding site. When visiting another site, the user may move backward or move to the initial search menu.

As described above, the present invention cannot solve a user's desire to satisfy information simply by providing a specific single site providing method or text message information. You can get WAP information more easily, quickly and conveniently, and you can freely access all the WAP sites searched anytime and anywhere, so that you can easily search for the information you require.
