Description

Method and system for long message service using communication network {Method and System for Providing Long Message Services by Using a Telecommunication Network}

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a long message using a mobile communication terminal. More specifically, a long message having a length longer than a length of a typical short message service (SMS) sentence is transmitted in a predetermined unit on the calling terminal side, and is divided on the receiving terminal side. The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting a long message using a communication network which combines and displays a transmitted message into an original long message.

As is well known, with the recent rapid development of electronics and communication engineering, mobile communication terminals have various functions. That is, with the rapid development of wireless communication and data processing technology, people can use not only voice calls but also Internet access, video communication and video message transmission using mobile communication terminals. Also, due to the rapid spread of mobile communication terminals, mobile communication terminals are becoming an essential means of communication in modern life, such as a great amount of communication occurring in human relationships through mobile communication terminals.

Among the various functions of the mobile terminal, a text message or a voice message can be delivered to the other party in case the call cannot be connected due to the case where the other party leaves the mobile communication area or the mobile terminal is turned off. This is widely used. Moreover, with the rapid spread of the Internet network and the rapidly increasing population of the Internet, Internet service providers have a short message service (SMS) that allows them to send text messages to mobile terminals over the Web. SMS ').

However, the SMS currently provided by a plurality of mobile operators has a feature that only a small amount of sentences that do not exceed a predetermined volume in a system to which the corresponding mobile communication terminal is subscribed are transmitted and received. That is, when a user inputs a text message using a mobile communication terminal, when the length of the text to be input reaches a predetermined capacity (usually 80 bytes), the text is no longer input. In addition, even if it is possible to input a character exceeding a certain capacity by using a mobile communication terminal or a computer connected to the Internet, the text message exceeding the predetermined capacity is transmitted while being truncated.

Therefore, when the user wants to transmit a sentence having a length exceeding a certain capacity allowed in the mobile communication system, the sentence to be transmitted is divided into two or more sentences within a certain capacity range and inputted, or the corresponding sentence is transmitted in a predetermined capacity. There was an inconvenience in that the contents should be summarized and transmitted in one sentence within the range.

Moreover, even if the sender divides the long message into two or more sentences using the mobile terminal and transmits the long message to the mobile terminal of the other party, the message is stored in the mobile terminal of the other party in the order of reception. There is a problem that the other party checks first.

On the other hand, in the SMS provided on the web using the Internet, even a long message over a certain capacity is divided into a predetermined capacity unit to provide a service for transmitting to the other party's mobile terminal.

However, even though SMS on the web using the Internet automatically divides the long message into a certain capacity unit and transmits the message, the order of the divided messages is not maintained through the wireless communication network such as the wireless base station or the mobile switching center. There is a problem that a message received at a mobile communication terminal frequently occurs inconsistent with the order of the sender.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, on September 8, 1999 and November 11, 2000, respectively, a device for transmitting and receiving a long text message of a digital portable terminal and a method of transmitting a long text message using SMS, respectively Patent application Nos. 1999-38096 and 2000-66954 filed by "Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd." and "LG Electronics Co., Ltd." and Patent Application Nos. 2000-66954 divide long text messages inputted by using a mobile communication terminal in a predetermined length unit. A method is disclosed.

In particular, the transmission and reception of the palm print message disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 1999-38096 divides the palm print message by a predetermined length unit, and generates a header including a palm message identifier and message separation order information in each divided message. I'm using the transfer method.

On the other hand, the transmission of the long message disclosed in the patent application No. 2000-66954 is stored in block units by inserting a connection code whenever the message input to the mobile communication terminal exceeds a predetermined capacity, the one or more connection codes are inserted It is divided into short messages and transmitted.

This conventional technology divides a long message into a plurality of short messages of a predetermined size in a mobile communication terminal or a short message server that sends a long message, and generates and inserts a specific header or connection code in each of the divided short messages. Doing. Therefore, a cumbersome process of generating and inserting a specific header or a connection code is required in the transmission of the long message, and the size of the data to be transmitted increases, causing a problem of overloading the overall mobile communication system.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention, the sender terminal automatically divides and transmits a long message having a length longer than a predetermined sentence length by a predetermined unit, and on the receiving terminal side by combining the divided transmission message into the original long message An object of the present invention is to propose a method and system for transmitting a long message using a communication network.

The originating terminal 110 is a mobile communication terminal which transmits an input long message by inputting a long message to be transmitted and then performing a call attempt to the wireless base station 120. Calling terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a terminal that can use a long message service as well as SMS. Here, the long message service means a service for transmitting a long message using an SMS service according to the technical idea of the present invention.

In addition, the originating terminal 110 may include a separate long message transmission menu so as to efficiently prepare a long message, and it may be desirable to provide a text message input screen that is further enlarged than an input screen of an existing short message. . For example, when the long message transmission function is used in the calling terminal 110, more characters may be input on one message input screen by making the size of the input text smaller than the size of the existing text.

The principle of dividing the palm print message into a plurality of messages in the calling terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

The called terminal 112 is a mobile communication terminal that receives a long message sent from the calling terminal 110 or the calling computer 114 and sent. The called terminal 3350 is also a terminal capable of using SMS, similar to the calling terminal 110. However, while the calling terminal 110 is limited to a terminal capable of using a long message service, the called terminal 112 includes both a terminal capable of using a long message service and a terminal not available.

The calling terminal 110 and the called terminal 112 according to the embodiment of the present invention include a mobile phone, a PDA (PDA) and the like.

The originating computer 114 is provided with a web browser for inputting a long message on the web and sending it to the destination terminal 112 by using a long message transmission contents provided from a specific website.

A user may register as a member of a specific website that provides a long message transmission service, and then use the long message transmission service through a member authentication process.

The wireless base station 120 receives the call attempt requested by the calling terminal 100 and transmits the received message to the mobile communication switching station 130, and transmits the text message transmitted from the mobile communication switching station 130 to the called terminal 112. Refers to a base station having a transceiver.

The base station transmitter 112 receives the long message data signal transmitted from the calling terminal 110 and transmits the long message data signal to the called terminal 112.

The base station controller 124 allocates or releases a radio channel to the calling terminal 110 and the called terminal 112, and transmits the long message data signal received from the calling terminal 110 to the corresponding mobile communication switching station 130. Performs a function of operating and maintaining the wireless base station 120 as a whole.

The mobile communication switching station 130 has a control function and a function of interworking with a public switched telephone network (PSTN) for enabling a plurality of wireless base stations 120 to operate efficiently, and includes a plurality of exchanges. The mobile switching center 130 transmits the palm print message transmitted from the wireless base station 120 to the SMSC 160 or the palm print message transmitted from the SMSC 160 to the wireless base station 120. In addition, when the terminating terminal 112 normally receives the long message transmitted, the mobile communication switching station 130 receives an acknowledgment signal transmitted from the terminating terminal 112 through the wireless base station 120 and receives the acknowledgment signal. Send back to SMSC 160.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a long message service when the calling terminal 110 and the called terminal 112 are in the jurisdiction of the same mobile switching center 130 will be described as an example. It would be extremely natural for one skilled in the art to be applicable even if it is within the jurisdiction.

The CP server 150 refers to a server that operates a specific website that provides a long message service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. That is, the user accesses the user connected to the user through the Internet 140 through the originating computer 114, and transmits the long message input by the user and the Mobile Identification Nunber (MIN) of the destination terminal 112 to the SMSC 160. . The CP server 150 charges the user a predetermined service fee for each use of the long message service.

The SMSC 160 transmits the long message sent from the calling terminal 110 or the calling computer 114 and the MIN of the called terminal 112 to the wireless base station 120 and the mobile communication switching center 130 or the CP server 150 connected to the Internet. ) And transmits a long message to the mobile communication switching station 130 having the called terminal 112 using the received MIN. When the SMSC 160 receives the long message reception confirmation signal of the destination terminal 112 through the mobile communication switching station 130, the SMSC 160 sets the state of the stored long message to 'SENT' and then deletes it after a certain period of time.

The terminal database server 170 stores data such as an MIN and an electronic serial number (ESN) of a terminal capable of using a long message service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The MIN stored in the terminal database server 170 may be stored first for each mobile communication provider, and the first stored MIN may be classified and stored according to whether the long message service is acceptable.

Accordingly, the SMSC 160 determines whether the recipient terminal 112 of the long message is a terminal capable of using the long message service according to the present invention by using the MIN stored in the terminal database server 170. Of course, the data stored in the terminal database server 170 is not only the MIN of the terminal capable of using the long message service subscribed to a specific mobile carrier but also the MIN of the terminal capable of using the long message service subscribed to another mobile carrier. It would be desirable to include them all.

The mobile subscriber server 180 stores the MIN, subscriber information, subscribed service information, etc. of the mobile communication terminal subscribed to its mobile communication service, and the use of the MIN information and the long message service is stored. Information on whether or not it is possible is transmitted to the terminal database server 170.

2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an internal configuration of a mobile communication terminal capable of transmitting and receiving a long message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile communication terminal includes a control unit 200, a key input unit 210, a display unit 220, a message storage unit 230, a parameter storage unit 240, and a program storage unit 250. , RF (Radio Frequency) unit 260 and handset 270.

The controller 200 measures the length of the text message input through the key input unit 210, divides it into blocks of a predetermined length unit when the length exceeds a predetermined length, and stores the divided messages in the message storage unit 230. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the long message is divided into 80 byte units, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and may be changed.

The key input unit 210 transmits a key value related to the operation of the mobile communication terminal and the input of the text message to the controller 220.

The display unit 220 displays a text message input through the key input unit 210 and a text message received from the wireless base station, and displays various states (day, time, remaining power capacity, etc.) of the mobile communication terminal. do.

The message storage unit 230 is a type of RAM that temporarily stores a message of each block unit of the long message divided by the controller 200 or stores a text message received from a wireless base station. The text message stored in the message storage unit 230 may be deleted under the control of the controller 200.

The parameter storage unit 240 is a kind of ROM that stores various parameters used to define rules of data or signals transmitted and received between the mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication network. The parameter storage unit 240 stores a teleservice number (TID: Teleservice ID, hereinafter referred to as 'TID').

Here, the TID is a kind of identification number assigned to distinguish the type of communication service between the mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication network. For example, the data assigned to the TID 4098 indicates the SMS data, and the data assigned to the TID 4099 indicates the data for the Voice Message Service (VMS). Accordingly, various equipments such as mobile communication switching centers and SMSCs on the mobile communication system check the TID transmitted from the mobile communication terminal to determine which service is related to the data.

Therefore, the control unit 200 divides the long message input from the key input unit 210 into blocks of 80-byte units, and assigns the TID for the long message service to each of the divided blocks, thereby specifying that the message is the long message service data. . For this purpose, a TID for a long message service should be defined in advance between the mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication system. That is, the terminal capable of using the long message service according to the embodiment of the present invention refers to a terminal in which a TID for a long message service defined in advance is stored in the parameter storage unit 240. As such, the method of dividing the long message by using the TID used in the mobile communication system has an advantage of significantly reducing the overload of the system, compared to the previously published long message dividing method of separately generating the message identifier and the sequence information identifier.

The program storage unit 250 is a type of ROM in which a coded program for implementing various services (SMS, wireless Internet access, telephone number search, etc.) provided by a mobile communication terminal is stored. Meanwhile, the program storage unit 250 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a predetermined code for a long message for providing a long message service. Therefore, when the user selects the long message service through the key input unit 210, the control unit 200 drives the program stored in the program storage unit 250 to provide the long message service.

The RF unit 260 transmits the text message data transmitted from the control unit 200 to a radio wave space through an antenna ANT by performing a modulation process of loading a high frequency signal.

The handset 270 processes a voice signal transmitted from the controller 200 and transmits it to the outside through the speaker SP, and processes and transmits a voice signal input through the microphone MK to the controller 200. Do it.

3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a split mode of a long message using a TID according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, it is assumed that the length of the long message input to the mobile communication terminal is 350 bytes, which will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

When the user selects the long message service menu through the key input unit 210 of the mobile communication terminal and inputs a long message of 350 bytes, the controller 200 divides the input long message into five blocks of 80 byte units. That is, 1 byte to 80 bytes in block 1, 81 to 160 bytes in block 2, 161 to 240 bytes in block 3, 241 to 320 bytes in block 4, 321 to 350 bytes in block 5 Stored.

The control unit 200 divides the long message into five blocks, checks the long message service TID stored in the parameter storage unit 240, and allocates the TIDs for the long message service in order for each block. For example, if 10 TIDs from 5001 to 5010 are defined as the TID for the long message service according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 200 allocates block 5001 to the block 1 to indicate the start of the long message. It assigns 5002 to 2, 5003 to Block 3, and 5004 to Block 4, and 5010 to Block 5, which indicates the end of the long message.

Therefore, no matter which long message is input, the first block is allocated 5001 times as the TID, and the last block is allocated 5010 times as the TID. The divided messages divided by 80 bytes by the control unit 200 and assigned TIDs for each divided block are temporarily stored in the message storage unit 230 until a transmission command key value is input.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sending a palm message using the originating terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user operates the key button of the calling terminal 110 to select the long message service menu (S400).

The user inputs a desired text message by operating a key button on the palm message input screen provided in the palm message service menu (S402).

The control unit 200 receiving the text message from the key input unit 210 checks whether the length of the input text message exceeds 80 bytes (S404).

If it is determined in step S404 that the length of the text message exceeds 80 bytes, the controller 200 divides the input text message into units of 80 bytes (S406).

The control unit 200 sequentially allocates the long message service TIDs stored in the parameter storage unit 240 for each divided text message block (S408).

The controller 200 transmits a text message to which the long message service TID is allocated, the MIN of the calling terminal 110, the MIN of the called terminal 112, and the like to the wireless base station 120 (S410).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S404 that the length of the input text message does not exceed 80 bytes, the controller 200 allocates a TID for SMS to the input text message and transmits it to the wireless base station 120 (S412).

Data including the text message transmitted from the calling terminal 110 is transmitted to the mobile communication switching center 130 via the wireless base station 120 (S414).

The mobile communication switching center 130 transmits the data received from the wireless base station 120 to the SMSC 160 (S416).

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of receiving a palm message using the called terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

After receiving the data including the text message through the process described with reference to FIG. 4, the SMSC 160 checks the TID included in the received text message and checks whether the text is for long message service (S500).

The SMSC 160 checks the MIN of the called terminal 112 among the received data (S502).

The SMSC 160 determines whether the MIN of the called terminal 112 identified in step S502 is the MIN of the terminal capable of the long message service through the MIN data of the long message service capable terminal stored in the terminal database server 170 ( S504).

If it is determined in step S504 that the terminating terminal 112 cannot use the long message service, the SMSC 160 changes all the long message TIDs assigned to the received fragment messages to 4098 which is the TID for the SMS ( S506).

The SMSC 160 transmits the divided messages whose TIDs are changed to 4098 at regular intervals in the order in which they are received (S508).

The destination terminal 112 receives the split message transmitted from the SMSC 160 via the mobile communication switching station 130 and the wireless base station 120, and displays the split messages on the display unit 220 one by one in the received order (S510). ).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S504 that the terminating terminal 112 is a terminal capable of using a long message service, in step S504, the SMSC 160 directly transmits the divided messages in the received order (S512).

The destination terminal 112 receives the fragment message transmitted from the SMSC 160 via the mobile communication switching station 130 and the wireless base station 120, and receives the fragment messages received using the TID included in the received fragment message. The display is connected to the display unit 220 in order (S514). That is, the control unit 200 of the terminating terminal 112 checks the TID included in the received split message, recognizes that the received split message is a long message, and connects the split messages in order according to the TID number in order to display the display unit 220. Display on.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting and receiving a palm message according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The user drives a web browser of the originating computer 114 connected to the Internet 140, enters a specific Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address, and accesses a CP server 150 providing a long message service (S600).

The CP server 150 provides a web page to the connected calling computer 114, and the user selects a long message service content from the provided web page (S602).

The user inputs a phone number to be contacted, a MIN of a called terminal, and a message content on a long message input screen provided by the CP server 150 and transmits the message to the CP server 150 (S604).

The CP server 150 transmits the data input from the destination computer 114 to the SMSC 160 (S606).

SMSC 160 receiving the data from the CP server 150 determines whether the length of the text message of the received data exceeds 80 bytes (S608).

If it is determined in step S608 that the length of the text message is less than 80 bytes, the SMSC 160 allocates a TID for SMS to the text message and transmits it to the destination terminal 112 (S609).

If it is determined in step S608 that the length of the text message is greater than 80 bytes, the SMSC 160 divides the text message into units of 80 byte blocks (S610).

After completing the splitting operation of the text message, the SMSC 160 checks the MIN of the destination terminal 112 among the data received from the CP server 150 (S612).

The SMSC 160 determines whether the MIN of the called terminal 112 identified in step S612 is the MIN of the terminal capable of the long message service through the MIN data of the long message service capable terminal stored in the terminal database server 170 ( S614).

If it is determined in step S614 that the destination terminal 112 is a terminal incapable of using a long message service, the SMSC 160 allocates an SMS TID for each received fragment message (S616).

The SMSC 160 transmits the divided messages to which the TID for SMS is allocated at regular intervals in the order in which they are received (S618).

The terminating terminal 112 receives the split message transmitted from the SMSC 160 via the mobile communication switching station 130 and the wireless base station 120, and displays the split messages one by one on the display unit 220 in the received order (S620). ).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S614 that the terminating terminal 112 is a terminal capable of using a palm message service, the SMSC 160 allocates a TID for palm message service for each divided message (S622). To this end, the SMSC 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention stores the TID for SMS and the TID list for the long message service defined in the mobile communication system.

The SMSC 160 sequentially transmits fragmented messages to which the TID for the long message service is allocated (S624).

The destination terminal 112 receives the fragment message transmitted from the SMSC 160 via the mobile communication switching station 130 and the wireless base station 120, and receives the fragment messages received using the TID included in the received fragment message. The display is connected to the display unit 220 in order (S626).
