Description

System and Method for Forwarding of Short Message Service

The present invention relates to a short message service, and more particularly, to a short switching service system and method for improving an incoming call efficiency of a short service received by a wireless terminal.

With the development of communication technology and the proliferation of portable wireless terminals, wireless terminals have become an essential element of life for modern people. Accordingly, various services are provided using the service. The most commonly used service is a short message service (SMS) in which a user writes a character string using a terminal and transmits the character string to a receiving side wireless terminal. The short message service is a process in which a user who wants to send a message writes a character string using a wireless or wired terminal and transmits it to the wireless network operator along with the wireless terminal number of the receiver. It is common to pass by.

However, if the receiver loses the wireless terminal, if there is no remaining battery in the wireless terminal, does not carry the wireless terminal, or if the wireless terminal is not located in the service area, the short message received by the wireless terminal is checked. There is no problem. If the wireless terminal does not have a remaining battery or cannot receive a text message because it is not in a serviceable area, the wireless network operator monitors the status of the receiving wireless terminal and the wireless terminal is turned off. The user may receive a message by sending a short message after the power of the wireless terminal is turned on, or by sending a message at a set time period depending on whether the user is located in an unserviceable area.

However, the time that a wireless network operator keeps a message that could not be sent to the receiving wireless terminal is generally 24 hours. If the message is not transmitted to the wireless terminal within this time, the message is automatically deleted and the receiver can delete the short message. There is a drawback that can not be confirmed forever. That is, even if the sender successfully transmits the short message, if the message is not received within 24 hours according to the situation of the receiver terminal, there is no way to check the message sent by the sender.

In addition, if the wireless terminal is lost or not carried, the recipient may not be able to check the text message and may expose his or her privacy to other people. There is this.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, by storing the short message sent by the sender to provide when the receiver wants to provide a short message without incoming failure, and can resolve the service complaints due to the short service failure It is a technical challenge to provide a short conversion service system and method.

Another technical problem of the present invention is to improve short message service success rate and thereby increase potential call volume by providing a short message by processing and directly or routing a short message for each desired medium regardless of a wired or wireless environment when providing a short message.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar configurations.

1 is a diagram illustrating a communication network to which a short switching service system according to the present invention is applied.

As shown, the short switching service system 10 may communicate with the wireless terminal 50 by the wireless network operator 20, is connected to the personal computer 60 via the Internet 30, and public switched telephone network It is possible to form a communication path with the wired terminal 70 through the PSTN 40. Here, the wireless terminal 50 is a concept including all cellular phones, PCS, PDA, etc. means a mobile terminal that can communicate through a wireless communication network, the wired terminal 70 through the public telephone switching network 40 Means a terminal capable of making a telephone call.

In order to use the short switching service, the user of the wireless terminal 50 and the wired terminal 70 requests a service by accessing a remote feature controller (hereinafter referred to as RFC) 28 of the wireless network operator 20. And the RFC 28 sends this request to a Home Location Registration (hereinafter referred to as HLR) 24 to store the current location of the user of the wireless terminal 50 to the short switching service system 10. The process is necessary. To this end, the HLR 24 preferably has a separate field for activating or deactivating the short switching service.

The short message transmitted by the caller is transmitted to the short service center (SMSC) 22 through the mobile switching center (MSC) 26 of the wireless network operator 20, and the SMSC 22 transmits the HLR 24. The received message is transmitted to the short switching service system 10 with reference to the location information of the receiver stored in the &quot;

The short switching service system 10 stores the received message for each user, and when the user requests the message confirmation, the short conversion service system 10 processes the message according to the type of the terminal used for the message confirmation and provides the message. For example, when the user accesses the short switching service system 10 using the wireless terminal 50, the short text may be converted into a voice and transmitted to the wireless terminal as it is. When the user accesses the short conversion service system 10 through the personal computer 60, the short text may be produced in an e-mail format or in a web page format using a markup language. If the user connects using the wired terminal 70, the short text is converted into voice and provided. In addition, when the user accesses the short switching service system 10 using the wireless Internet function of the wireless terminal 50, the short text is produced and provided in a swap page format.

The voice / IP integrated system 80 (TIIS) is a system serving as a gateway between the IP network and the voice-based mobile communication network. In the present invention, as described above, the voice / IP integrated system serves as an intermediary. That is, the short text processed by the receiving terminal characteristics in the short switching service system 10 is transmitted to the terminal of the user by the mediation of the TIIS 80.

The TIIS 80 is configured and operates independently of the short switching service system 10 in the current network configuration, but becomes unnecessary when a network to which the NO.7 and MAP (Mobile Application Part) protocols are applied is introduced. A network to which NO.7 and MAP is applied is a protocol for effectively managing call information of voice communication and connection information of data communication, and provides transaction capability to perform fast call setup and remote database reference. The use of NO.7 and MAP protocol enables the development of various intelligent network systems based on the integrated environment of voice communication and data communication. In more detail, MAP is a protocol for message transmission between systems in a mobile communication network. As a kind of application, it delivers messages such as terminal power off and power on, and No.7 protocol is a medium for efficiently delivering a corresponding MAP message to a destination.

The short switching service system 10 described above may be operated by the wireless network operator 20 or by an operator independent from the wireless network operator 20. In addition, one or more short forwarding service systems 10 may exist, and in the case of multiple short forwarding service systems 10, a group of called parties may be used to easily route short texts from the TIIS 80 to the short forwarding service system 10. It is preferable to designate the short switching service system 10 for each.

FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of a short switching service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows a case where the TIIS 80 is applied to a current communication network that exists independently of the short switching service system 10.

The short message switching service system 10 includes a control unit 100, a user management unit 102, a text-to-speech unit 104, an automatic response service providing unit 106, an e-mail / instant message generating unit 108, and a web (Web). ) Document creation means 110, a WAP document creation means 111, and a database 112. In addition, the database 112 includes a user management DB 114 and a short management DB 116, which may be configured as a single table or each independent table. Here, the text-to-speech means 104, the web document creation means 110, and the swap document creation means 111 can be referred to as short text processing means.

The user management means 102 stores information about the user of the wireless terminal 50 who wants to use the short switching service, and an email address or an instant message ID designated by the user to confirm the short text converted to the short switching service system 10. It is stored in the user management DB 114 and updates the user management DB 114 whenever the contents are changed or added.

The text-to-speech means 104 converts the short text transmitted to the short text switching service system 10 through the wireless network operator 20 into a voice message and stores the short text in the short text management DB 116. The converted voice message is transmitted to the wireless terminal 50 or the wired terminal 70 of the user through an auto answering service providing means (ARS) connected to the communication network under the control of the controller 100 when the user requests it. The automatic response service providing means 106 serves to automatically guide a short confirmation procedure to a user who accesses the short switching service system 10 using the wireless terminal 50 or the wired terminal 70.

When the user wants to check the short message received by the user in the form of an email or an instant message, the email / instant message generating means 108 changes the format of the short message and stores the short text in the short message management DB 116. The e-mail or instant message stored in the short message management DB 116 is controlled by the control unit 100 in the short switching service system 10 through the wireless terminal 50 or the personal computer 60 through the mediation of the TIIS 80. Is provided to.

In this case, if the user wants to check the received short message by web, swap, or voice, the subscriber does not designate the short receiving medium in advance, but provides the service by accessing a designated web site, wireless Internet, or an automatic answering server (ARS). If the subscriber registers an e-mail address or an instant message ID in advance, the short message switching service system automatically transmits the received short message to the corresponding e-mail address or instant message ID whenever the short message is stored.

When the user wants to check the short text received by the user on the web through the Internet, the web document creating means 110 changes the format of the short text into a web document and stores the short text in the short text management DB 116. The web document format message stored in the short message management DB 116 is controlled by the control unit 100 and the TIIS 80 as a user who accesses the short conversion service system 10 through the personal computer 60 requests confirmation of the message. Is provided to the user through the mediation.

When the user wishes to check the short message received by the user through the wireless Internet, the swap document creating means 111 changes the format of the short message into a swap document and stores the short document in the short management DB 116. The message of the WP document format stored in the short management DB 116 is controlled by the control unit 100 and the TIIS 80 as a user who accesses the short switching service system 10 through the wireless terminal 50 requests confirmation of a message. Is provided to the user through the mediation.

Meanwhile, the short text transmitted from the wireless network operator 20 and stored in the short text management DB 116 may be provided to the user in a short text format. To this end, the user must access the short switching service system 10 through the wireless terminal 50. At this time, the wireless switching terminal 50 connected to the short switching service system 10 should not be activated. do. The short switching service system 10 transmits the short text stored in the short management DB 116 to the wireless terminal 50 connected to the short switching service system 10 through the SMSC 22 of the wireless network operator 20. . Here, the reason why the short switching service state of the wireless terminal connected to the short switching service system 10 should be deactivated is that the wireless terminal being connected to the short switching service system 10 when the short switching service is activated. This is because it is transmitted only to the short switching service system.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user who wants to use the short switching service to the short switching service system 10 determines to determine in which form the received short message using which medium, and the short message is transmitted to the user. When the short text is processed according to various formats and stored in the short text management DB (116). In this way, the message received by the user can be immediately confirmed when the user accesses the short switching service system 10, and the time required for processing the message while the user is connected can be reduced. .

3A to 3C are detailed block diagrams of a short switching service system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3A shows a system configuration in a communication network to which the NO.7 and MAP protocols are applied, and FIGS. 3B and 3C illustrate the MAP protocol. The configuration according to the transport layer is shown.

In FIG. 3A, the user management means 102, the text-to-speech means 104, the automatic response service providing means 106, the email / instant message creating means 108, the web document creating means 110, the swap document creating means 111 and the database 112 play the same role as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and thus, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the short switching service system 10 of the present embodiment further includes a short mediation means 118, an email / instant message mediation means 120, a web mediation means 122, and a swap mediation means 124. .7 and MAP protocol 126 to perform data conversion. Detailed description of the MAP protocol 126 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3B and 3C.

In this embodiment, the short mediation means 118, the email / instant message mediation means 120, the web mediation means 122 and the swap mediation means 124 may be referred to as transport mediation means. The short message intermediary means 118 stores the short message transmitted by the SMSC in the short message switching service system, and when the user wants to confirm the short message received by the short message switching service system 10 according to the control of the control unit 100. It serves to deliver the message stored in the short message management DB 116 to the wireless terminal to receive the short message through the SMSC 22 of the wireless network provider 20.

The email / instant message mediation means 120 may convert the format message in the email / instant message creation means 108 when the user wants to confirm the short message received by the short conversion service system 10 in an email or instant message format. Under the control of the control unit 100 and transmits to the e-mail program or instant message support program installed in the user's personal computer 60 through the e-mail server or instant message server set on the Internet (30).

When the user wants to check the short message received by the short text switching service system 10 on the web, the web mediation means 122 controls the message in which the format is converted by the web document creating means 110 under the control of the controller 100. The display is displayed on a web browser installed in the user's personal computer 30 through a web server set on the Internet 30.

When the user wants to check the short message received by the short switching service system 10 on the wireless Internet using the wireless terminal 50, the swap mediation means 124 displays a message in which the format is converted by the swap document creating means 111. The control unit 100 displays the user's wireless terminal 50 through the set up swap server on the wireless Internet network.

Figure 3b shows the structure of the MAP protocol in E1-based NO.7 signaling.

As shown, the MAP protocol in the E1-based signaling method includes the E1 physical layer 130, the message transfer part2 (MTP2) layer 132, the message transfer part3 (MTP3) layer 134, and the signaling connection control part (SCCP). A layer 136, a transaction capability application part (TCAP) layer 138, and a mobile application part (MAP) layer 140. Here, MTP2 layer 132 serves to manage signaling link management and signaling message traffic, MTP3 layer 134 serves to manage signaling point status and route, and SCCP layer 136 serves as signaling point It is responsible for managing the state of subsystems and subsystems. In addition, the TCAP layer 138 manages and processes a plurality of messages per transaction, and the MAP layer 140 processes applications such as location registration and call processing.

3c illustrates a structure of a MAP protocol in an IP-based NO.7 signaling scheme, and includes a physical layer 142, an IP layer 144, a stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) layer 146, and an MTP3 user adaptation layer (M3UA). A layer 148, a signaling connection control part (SCCP) layer 150, a transaction capability application part (TCAP) layer 152, and a mobile application part (MAP) layer 154.

Here, SCTP layer 146 manages IP access and maintenance and data transfer traffic, M3UA layer 148 performs signaling point status and routing processing, SCCP layer 150), TCAP layer 152 And the role of the MAP layer 154 is the same as described in FIG. 3B.

As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, when the NO.7 and MAP protocols are introduced, the voice-based mobile communication network and the IP network as the protocols of the NO.7 and the MAP itself do not need to be separately configured. Since data conversion is performed between them, there is an advantage that data can be transmitted and received more simply and quickly.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a short switching service method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows a service method when the TIIS 80 is applied to a current communication network that exists independently of the short switching service system 10. Indicates.

In order to use the short switching service, the user of the wireless terminal 50 requests the HLR 24 of the wireless network operator to use the short switching service through the RFC 28 (S101). Receiving the service request, the HLR 24 activates the short switching service (S102). The user's request for using the short switching service is registered in the HLR and the short switching system through the Customer Oriented Information System (COIS), and then wirelessly or wired through the wireless terminal 50, the wired terminal 70, or the personal computer 60. You can do this by activating the service over the Internet. COIS is a customer-oriented information system designed, built, and operated by the wireless network operator. It is a comprehensive information system that manages customer management, billing, billing, and payment.

In this way, if a short message transfer service for the user is activated and a message is received by the SMSC 22 of the wireless network operator 20 (S103), the SMSC 22 transmits the message reception information to the HLR 24. Request to determine the current location of the called party (S104). As a result of the confirmation by the HLR 24, if the called party cannot receive the short message from the current location to the called number, that is, the short switching service is activated, the reason for not receiving is transmitted to the SMSC 22 (S105).

The SMSC 22 checks the unacceptable reason message and if it is confirmed that the unacceptable reason is due to the short switching service, transmits the message to the short switching service system 10 through the TIIS 80 (S106 and S107). When the short transition service system 10 that has received the message transmits an acknowledgment message to the TIIS 80 (S108), the TIIS 80 receiving the message transmits an acknowledgment message to the SMSC 22 (S109). Accordingly, the SMSC 22 deletes the message and charges the short message service fee to the sender (S110). The charging process can also be performed by interworking the short switching service system 10 and the SMS charging server.

Meanwhile, the short message switching service system 10 extracts the recipient information from the message received from the SMSC 22, checks the email address and the instant message ID set by the corresponding recipient (S111), and processes the short message for various media. To store (S112). Here, the message may be processed in the form of an e-mail or instant message format, a web document format, a swap document format, a voice message format, or the like.

The stored message is provided to the called party by the intermediary of the TIIS 80 and the communication network when the called party connects to the short switching service system 10 to request confirmation of the received message to the called party. A message providing method according to a short receiving medium will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a short switching service method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and shows a service method in a communication network to which the NO.7 and MAP protocols are applied.

In order to use the short switching service, the user of the wireless terminal 50 requests the HLR 24 of the wireless network operator to use the short switching service through the RFC 28 (S201). Receiving the service request, the HLR 24 activates the short switching service (S202). The user can use the short switching service by registering the service with the HLR and the short switching system through the COIS at the request of the user accessing the wireless network provider wirelessly or by wire through a wireless terminal, a wired terminal or a personal computer.

In this way, when a short message switching service for the user is activated, when a message is received by the SMSC 22 of the wireless network operator 20 (S203), the SMSC 22 transmits the message reception information to the HLR 24. Request to determine the current location of the called party (S204). If the short switching service is activated, the HLR 24 determines that the current location of the called party is the short switching service system 10 and transmits the result to the SMSC 22 (S205). In the case where a plurality of short switching service systems 10 exist, it is important for the HLR 24 to accurately manage the address of the short switching service system 10 in which the called party is located. The SMSC 22 receives the called party location information. The short message is transmitted to the current location of the user, that is, the short switching service system 10 (S107). This process is performed in the same manner as the SMSC 22 provides a general short message service, and since the data conversion is performed by the NO.7 and MAP protocols, the TIIS 80 is unnecessary. As the short transition service system 10 receiving the message transmits a reception confirmation message to the SMSC 22 (S207), the SMSC 22 deletes the message and charges the short message service fee to the sender (S208). .

Meanwhile, the short message switching service system 10 extracts the recipient information from the message received from the SMSC 22, checks the email address and the instant message ID set by the corresponding recipient (S209), and processes the short message for various media. Store it (S210). Here, the message may be processed in the form of an e-mail or instant message format, a web document format, a swap document format, a voice message format, or the like.

The stored message is provided to the called party when the called party accesses the short switching service system 10 and requests confirmation of the received message to the called party. A message providing method according to a short receiving medium will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

This embodiment is a short switching service method in a communication network to which the NO.7 and MAP protocols are applied. Since the TIIS 80 performing data conversion between the voice-based mobile communication network and the IP network is unnecessary, the short switching service can be provided more quickly. Can be.

6 to 9 are diagrams for describing a method of providing a short switching service according to a short receiving medium.

First, FIG. 6 illustrates a method of converting a short message received by the short message switching service system 10 into an e-mail or an instant message. A user who wants to use the short switching service first, for receiving a short message by wirelessly or by wired connection to the user management means 102 of the short switching service system 10 through the wireless terminal 50 or the personal computer 60. The e-mail address or instant message service ID is set (S301), and the set information is stored in the database 112 (S302).

The short conversion service system 10 that has received the short message from the SMSC 22 of the wireless network operator 20 extracts the recipient information of the short message, and the user refers to the database 112 to send the user his or her e-mail to the short message receiving medium. If the address or instant message service ID is set, the received short message is converted into an e-mail or instant message by the e-mail / instant message creating means 108 and stored in the database 112 (S303).

Then, the message stored in the database 112 is transmitted to the email / instant message mediation means 120 (S304), and is delivered to the user via the email / instant message server 34 (S305) (S306). Here, when the short switching service system 10 is applied to the IP network, the email / instant message intermediary means 120 is included in the TIIS 80, and the short switching service system 10 is based on the No. 7 and MAP protocols. When applied to the communication network of the email / instant message mediation means 120 is included in the short switching service system (10).

FIG. 7 illustrates a method of converting a short message received by the short switching service system 10 into a voice message and providing the short message using an auto answering service or providing the short text as it is.

When the user accesses the short switching service system 10 through the wired terminal 90 or the wireless terminal 92 (S401), the short switching service system 10 checks whether the corresponding user is a legitimate user and turns out to be a legitimate user. If so, the user checks whether the short message received by the user is provided as a voice message or a short text form. If the user wants to confirm the short message by the voice message service, the text-to-speech means 104 converts the short text into a voice and stores it in the database 112 (S402). In operation S404, the message converted to voice is transmitted to the wired terminal 90 or the wireless terminal 92 of the user.

If the user connects to the short switching service system 10 through the wireless terminal 92 and the user wants to check the short form message with the connected wireless terminal 92, the short intermediary means 118 opens the database 112. The short text is detected by reference (S405), and transmitted to the user's wireless terminal 92 through the SMSC 22 (S406).

Here, when the short switching service system 10 is applied to the IP network, the short mediation means 118 is included in the TIIS 80, and the short switching service system 10 is connected to the communication network based on No. 7 and the MAP protocol. The short intermediary means 118, if applicable, is included in the short switching service system 10.

8A and 8B are diagrams for explaining a case where a short message received by the short switching service system 10 is to be confirmed on the web.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the user accesses the short switching service system 10 through the web server 32 and the web intermediation means 122 provided by the short switching service system 10 through the personal computer 60 ( S501 and S502 request to confirm the received short message on the web.
