Abstract

PURPOSE: A short message transmission in a mobile communication plural phone- number service is provided to allow a user to transmit a short message to plural phone numbers by simply changing an SMSS(Short Message Service Server) and a plural- phone service system. CONSTITUTION: When a caller(10,11) transmits a short message(201), an SMSS receives it, checks a destination phone number, and transmits it to a plural phone-number service system(202). The plural phone-number service system checks whether a destination phone number is a supplementary number or a basic number(204) and transmits a result to the SMSS. If the destination phone number is a supplementary number, the plural phone-number service system also transmits a corresponding basic number together. If the destination phone number is a basic number, the SMSS transmits the short message as it is to an SMSC(Short Message Service Center)(S207). If the destination phone number is a supplementary number, the SMSS inserts the destination phone number in a short message content field(205), changes a destination phone number field having the supplementary number to a basic number(206) and transmits it to the SMSC(207). The SMSC consults an HLR(Home Location Registrator) about position information corresponding to the destination phone number(208) and transmits the short message to an MSC(Mobile Switching Center) corresponding to the consulted position(209). The MSC sends it to a BSC(Base Station Controller)(210), so that it can be transmitted to a mobile communication terminal of a receiver through a BTS(212).

Description

Transmitting short message in mobile communication multiple phone number service {Transmit SMS (short message service) to Multi-numbered Wireless Handset}

The present invention relates to a method of enabling a short message to be transmitted to an additional phone number by interworking a short message service system with a multi-phone number service provided in a mobile communication.

In the modern mobile communication network, as the mobile communication terminal is always carried, an interest in personal privacy is provided, and a multi-phone number service is provided that provides an additional phone number that is easy to change or terminate in addition to the basic phone number. However, this is limited only to voice calls or voice mails, and it is not applicable to short messages that are widely used in general. In the case of short messages, only basic phone numbers can be transmitted.

For this reason, the recipient has a problem that only a voice call is possible with the person who has provided the additional phone number, although the short message has much less privacy than the voice call.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention, when transmitting a message to the additional telephone number, the short message service server receives the basic telephone number from the additional telephone number service system, inserts the incoming telephone number into the message content, and contains the additional telephone number. Its purpose is to modify the incoming phone number field to the default phone number so that the phone number of the e-mail is changed to this and sent to the short message center.

1 is an exemplary configuration of a multiple phone number short message service system according to the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a short message in a multiple phone number service according to the present invention.

Figure 3 is a configuration example when the multiple phone number short message service system according to the present invention is located outside.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a step of transmitting a short message packet including a recipient phone number and a caller phone number field to a short message service server, extracting the recipient phone number from the transmitted short message packet multiple phone numbers Checking whether it is a basic phone number or a supplemental phone number from the service system; if the additional phone number is an incoming phone number in the message content of the short message, changing the received phone number field to the basic phone number, and modifying the short message. Characterized in that the step consisting of sending a message to the text message service center.

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

1 is an exemplary configuration of a multiple phone number short message service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a sender for transmitting a short message is a wireless terminal 10 connected to a mobile terminal 11 such as a computer or a PDA connected to a wired or wireless Internet and a mobile communication network. The receiver may be configured as a wireless terminal 20 connected to a mobile communication network.

The short message service server (SMS) 12 is a system in charge of an additional service of a short message. The short message service server (SMSS) 12 may process a short message packet transmitted in association with the multiple phone number service system 14.

The multi-telephone number service system 14 has a database (DB) 14 that contains subscriber's basic telephone numbers and additional telephone numbers, and determines whether the received recipient telephone number is a basic number or an additional number. If it is an additional number, you can find the corresponding basic number.

The Short Message Service Center (SMSC) 13 functions to send and receive a Short Message to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 17, and the MSC is a Home Location Registrator. Inquiry of the location of the receiver from the HLR (16), the short message received from the SMSC via the base station controller (hereinafter referred to as BSC) 18 and the base station (hereinafter referred to as BTS) 19 to the position, the mobile communication terminal ( 20).

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a short message in a multiple phone number service according to the present invention.

When the caller 10, 11 transmits a short message through the system as shown in FIG. 1 (201), the SMSS 12 receives a message, checks the received phone number, and then verifies the received phone number. (202). The multiple phone number service system 14 searches the DB to check whether the received phone number is an additional number or a basic number (204), and transmits the result to the SMSS 12. At this time, if the additional number, the corresponding basic number is transmitted together. If the incoming call number is the basic number, the SMSS transmits the short message to the SMSC as it is (207). If the incoming phone number is an additional number, the SMSS inserts the incoming phone number into the short message content field (205), changes the incoming phone number field containing the additional number to the default number (206), and sends it to the SMSC (207). ).

The SMSC 13 inquires the position information corresponding to the received telephone number to the HLR 16 (208), and then transmits a short message to the MSC 17 corresponding to the inquired position (209). Upon receiving the short message, the MSC 17 sends it back to the BSC 18 (210), via the BTS 19 (211) to be transmitted to the receiver's mobile communication terminal 20 (212).

3 is a configuration diagram of a multiple telephone number short message service system when the multiple telephone number service center is located outside the mobile communication service provider system.
