Description

Method for re-receiving a SMS broadcasting message of cellular-phone}

The present invention relates to a method for re-receiving an SMS message of a mobile phone, and in particular, a method of re-receiving an SMS message of a mobile phone for transmitting time information data that has not received a broadcast message from the mobile phone to a message center and re-receiving the broadcast message at an appropriate time. It is about.

In general, wireless data communication refers to a communication function of wirelessly transmitting and receiving various data such as letters, numbers, and images through a base station system using a portable terminal capable of wireless transmission and reception. For example, it is a mobile communication system that exchanges or retrieves data in both directions while moving by using various terminals such as a cellular phone, a portable computer, a facsimile, and a credit card inquiry machine.

Especially in the early 1980s, mobile phones divided the service area into hexagonal cells of several km to several ten kilometers in diameter in North America, and then repeatedly used the same frequency channel in geographically separated cells. As a result, cellular phones that implement radio channel switching between cells have grown rapidly for the first time. In addition, such a mobile phone provides various service menus on the terminal for the convenience of the user. For example, a short message service (SMS), an e-mail transmission, and an Internet connection are provided. At this time, the SMS data signal is usually limited to within 80 bytes when transmitted to the terminal.

Then, referring to the conventional mobile phone system as described above with reference to FIG. 1, a function signal transmitted from a plurality of mobile phones 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message may be wirelessly processed or an SMS broadcast message may be relayed to the mobile phone 70. The base station 71, an MSC 72 for controlling a transmission function of a call signal or an SMS broadcast message input through the base station 71, and an SMS message to the mobile phone 70 connected to the MSC 72; B SMS server 73 for providing an SMS broadcast message.

On the other hand, referring to the operation of the conventional mobile phone system as described above, first, when the user of the mobile phone 70 presses the telephone number signal for a call, the telephone number signal is wirelessly signaled by the mobile phone 70 to the base station 72 Is sent). The base station 71 transmits the call signal of the inputted mobile phone 70 to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 analyzes the input call signal data to recognize the destination telephone number and transmits the call signal to the base station 74 of the corresponding destination. Therefore, the base station 74 relays the transmitted call signal and connects the call to the other party's mobile phone 75. At this time, when a call is formed by the above process, the mobile phone 70 executes a normal call with the counterpart mobile phone 75.

Here, if any operator wants to transmit an authorized SMS broadcast message to the mobile phone 70, the user wants to send an SMS broadcast message to the SMS server 73, for example, stock information, weather, traffic. Enter a message such as information, broadcast time and destination phone number. The SMS server 73 continuously checks the set broadcast time, and when the set broadcast time is reached, the destination phone number and the SMS broadcast message are transmitted to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 broadcasts the SMS broadcast message to the telephone number transmitted from the SMS server 73 regardless of the response of the cellular phone. That is, the SMS broadcast message is transmitted as a data burst message through the paging channel, which is always transmitted from the base station 71 to the mobile phone.

However, since the SMS broadcast message of the conventional mobile phone is not transmitted again once regardless of the use state of the mobile phone, when the mobile phone is powered off or busy, the SMS message broadcasted at this time cannot be confirmed. Therefore, when the SMS message contains important data, the user of the mobile phone cannot check such information. Therefore, the functionality of the mobile phone is degraded considerably. Also, there is no means to check the broadcast SMS message at the time of power-off or during a call. Therefore, there is a problem in that the ease of use of the mobile phone is also significantly reduced.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above conventional problems, by transmitting the time information data that did not receive a broadcast message from the mobile phone to the message center and receiving the broadcast message again at an appropriate time, Since the main SMS broadcast messages transmitted during a call can be checked again at a convenient time frame, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for re-receiving SMS messages of a mobile phone, which can maximize the convenience of the mobile phone.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an SMS message re-receiving method of a mobile phone, which can significantly check the SMS messages transmitted to the mobile phone, regardless of the conditions of use of the mobile phone.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile phone use state checking step of checking whether the mobile phone is currently being powered off or busy when a menu function for re-receiving an SMS broadcast message is set in the mobile phone. When the mobile phone is currently powered off or checked by the status checking step, a time information storage step of checking and storing the time during the power-off of the mobile phone or a busy time, and a message after the time information storage step. A message retransmission request step of transmitting a signal requesting the center to time information and retransmitting all the SMS broadcast message data broadcasted at a given time; and if the broadcast message requested after the message retransmission request step is received, Receive all SMS broadcast message signals that have been broadcast for a certain period of time. Provided is a method for receiving SMS messages of a mobile phone, which comprises a message displaying step displayed on a display.

Hereinafter, a mobile phone to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The mobile phone 1 to which the present invention is applied includes a codec unit 3 for processing a voice signal input and output through the handset 2, and a voice signal input and output through the codec unit 3 as shown in FIG. It includes an MSM (4) to process the RF signal and transmit it to other communication equipment or to calculate and transmit time information for the broadcast message request using an internal counter.

One end of the MSM unit 4 is connected to a keypad 5 for inputting a function setting signal of a user and an LCD 6 for displaying the execution contents of the mobile phone 1 to the outside.

Here, the mobile communication system for processing the call of the mobile phone (1) is a mobile phone for processing a function signal transmitted from a plurality of mobile phones (1), for example, a call signal or SMS broadcast message wirelessly or to receive the SMS broadcast message again A base station (7,8) for relaying time information transmitted from (1), an MSC (9) for analyzing the call signal and time information input via the base station (7,8) and controlling its corresponding function; It is connected to the MSC (9) includes an SMS server 10 for providing an SMS broadcast message to the mobile phone (1).

Next, the method of the present invention applied to the terminal as described above will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention proceeds to the determination step of setting the broadcast message re-receiving menu in the initial state S1 and determines whether the menu function for re-receiving the SMS broadcast message is currently set in the mobile phone. In this case, if the menu function for re-receiving the SMS broadcast message is not currently set in the mobile phone as a result of the determination during the broadcast message re-receipt menu setting determination step (S2), proceed to the general function execution step (S3) to execute the normal call mode. do.

That is, when the user of the mobile phone 1 wants to call, the telephone number is input through the keypad 5. Then, the MSM unit 4 of the terminal converts all of the normal telephone numbers within a predetermined time to a radio signal, and converts them into radio signals through the base stations 7 and 8 and the mobile switching center (MSC). Send it out. When a call is made with the counterpart terminal 11, the call is notified to the user through a handset 2 through a handset. Then, the user allows the user to input the desired word through the handset 2 to the codec unit 3 of the terminal. The codec unit 3 converts a voice signal of the user input through the handset 2 into a voice signal processing, for example, an analog voice signal into a digital signal and inputs it to the MSM unit 4. In addition, the MSM unit 4 modulates the digital voice signal input from the codec unit 3 and then processes the RF signal and transmits the RF signal to the counterpart terminal 11 via the base stations 7 and 8 and the MSC 9. A normal voice call.

In this case, the mobile phones 1 and 11 exchange various information such as time or channel assignment with a neighboring base station 7, 8 through a paging channel, even if they do not exchange call signals with other terminals.

On the other hand, when the menu function for re-receiving the SMS broadcast message is set in the current mobile phone as a result of the determination of the broadcast message re-receipt menu setting decision step (S2), the mobile phone use state determination step (S4) proceeds to the current mobile phone Determine if it is time or busy. In addition, as a result of the determination in the mobile phone use state determining step (S4), the mobile phone ends when the mobile phone is currently powered off or is not in a call. However, when the mobile phone is in use state determination step (S4), and the current mobile phone is to be powered off or is busy, the time information storage step (S5) proceeds to check the time or the busy time while the mobile phone is powered off. Save it. In addition, after the time information storage step (S5) proceeds to the message resend request step (S6) to give the time information to the message center transmits a signal requesting to retransmit all the SMS broadcast message data broadcast at the given time. .

In addition, after the message resending request step (S6), it proceeds to the message receiving determination step (S7) to determine whether the requested broadcast message has been received. At this time, if the requested broadcast message is not received as a result of the determination during the message reception determination step (S7), the process returns to the previous step (S6) and repeats the loop.

However, if the requested broadcast message is received as a result of the determination during the message reception determination step (S7), the process proceeds to the message display step (S8) and displays all the SMS broadcast message signals broadcast for a predetermined time which are currently re-received on the display. do.

That is, when the broadcast message re-receipt menu is set using the keypad 5 on the mobile phone 1, the MSM unit 4 stores it in the internal memory and whether the current mobile phone 1 starts powering off or making a call. Determine if it's time to start. At this time, the MSM unit 4 stores the time information by counting from the start point to the end point using a built-in counter when the mobile phone 1 starts to turn off or starts a call. When the mobile phone 1 is switched to the power-on or call waiting mode, the MSM unit 4 transmits the time information to the SMS broadcast message resend request signal, for example, the data burst message in a manner similar to the SMS message transmission. While the broadcast message is not normally received, a signal requesting retransmission of all broadcasted SMS broadcast messages is carried and transmitted to the SMS server 10 via the base station 7 and the MSC 9.

Then, the SMS server 10 analyzes the time requested by the mobile phone 1 according to the SMS broadcast message re-request signal transmitted from the mobile phone 1 and extracts all SMS broadcast messages transmitted to all terminals during that time. This information is resent to the mobile phone 1 that requested this information.

Therefore, the MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 1 displays on the LCD 6 when the SMS broadcast message requested from the SMS server 10 is re-received as described above.

As described above, according to the present invention, by transmitting the time information data that does not receive the broadcast message from the mobile phone to the message center and re-receiving the broadcast message at an appropriate time, the main SMS broadcast message transmitted during the power-off of the mobile phone or a call is convenient. Since it can be checked again in time, it has the advantage of maximizing the convenience of the mobile phone accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, regardless of the conditions of use of the mobile phone, all SMS messages transmitted to the mobile phone can be confirmed without loss, thereby improving the functionality of the mobile phone.
