Scoop It shall be.

The organic dedicated terminal of the present invention downloads organic data or organic programs from a mobile communication terminal and provides an organic service, thereby providing various organic services provided by a mobile communication company without directly using the mobile communication terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, which illustrates a state in which an organic dedicated terminal is connected to a mobile communication terminal, the mobile communication terminal 100 and the organic dedicated terminal 200 have a data communication path through a cable. Is formed. In the example of FIG. 1, the mobile communication terminal 100 and the organic dedicated terminal 200 are connected by wire, but may be wirelessly connected through an infrared communication method.

The mobile communication terminal 100 downloads the organic data or the organic program to the organic dedicated terminal 200 through the data communication path. The organic dedicated terminal 200 which has downloaded the organic data or the organic program is separated from the mobile communication terminal 100 and independently plays the organic data or executes the organic program. The organic dedicated terminal 200 includes an indicator S and buttons B1 and B2 for reproduction of the organic data or execution of the organic program.

The configuration of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the organic dedicated terminal 200 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2. Here, FIG. 2 discloses only a minimum configuration for achieving the present invention in the configuration of the mobile communication terminal 100 for convenience.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mobile communication terminal 100 stores a control unit 102 for downloading organic data or an organic program to the organic dedicated terminal 200, and stores a processing program and various data of the control unit 102. Of course, according to the control of the memory unit 104 stored the organic data or organic program downloaded from the mobile communication company, the operation unit 106 for the user's key operation, and the control unit 102 to a variety of information The display unit 108 to guide, and the interface unit 110 for interfacing between the control unit 102 and the organic dedicated terminal 200.

In addition, the organic dedicated terminal 200 is a control unit 202 for downloading and playing or executing organic data or organic programs from the mobile communication terminal 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the processing program of the control unit 202 And a variety of data, as well as an interface for interfacing between the memory unit 024 storing the organic data or the organic program downloaded from the mobile communication terminal 100, and the mobile communication terminal 100 and the control unit 202. An operation unit 208 including a unit 206, a plurality of buttons B1 and B2, and an audio processing unit for decoding audio data generated when the control unit 202 reproduces the organic data or executes an organic program. (210), an amplifying unit (212) for amplifying the output of the audio processing unit 210 and outputs to the earphone connection terminal or speaker 214, and the control unit (202) ) Is a video processor 216 for processing and outputting the video data generated when the organic data is reproduced or the organic program is executed. In particular, the control unit 202 is provided with the same OS system as the mobile communication terminal, so that the organic data can be reproduced and the execution of the organic program properly implemented in the mobile communication terminal.

A process of downloading the organic program to the organic dedicated terminal 200 by the mobile communication terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

The control unit 102 of the mobile communication terminal 100 when the user commands the download of the organic data or the organic program through the operation unit 106 (step 300), the list of organic data or organic programs stored in the memory unit 104 Is displayed on the display unit 108, and it is guided to select organic data or organic program to be downloaded from the displayed organic data or organic program (step 304).

When the user selects one organic data or organic program through the operation unit 106 (step 306), the controller 102 checks whether the organic data terminal or the organic terminal is connected to the organic dedicated terminal 308, and then selects the organic data or organic program. The organic program is downloaded to the organic dedicated terminal 200 (steps 308 and 310).

The operation of the organic dedicated terminal 200 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4.

The control unit 202 of the organic dedicated terminal 200 checks whether it is connected to the mobile communication terminal 100 for the purpose of downloading organic data or organic programs (step 400). When the organic dedicated terminal 200 is connected to the mobile communication terminal 100, the control unit 202 downloads the organic data or organic program from the mobile communication terminal 100 and stores it in the memory unit 204 ( Steps 402 to 406).

Unlike the above description, when the organic dedicated terminal 200 and the mobile communication terminal 100 are not connected, the controller 202 displays a list of organic data or organic programs stored in the memory unit 204, so that the user The user is guided to select either the organic data or the organic program (step 408). When the user selects one of the organic data or the organic program according to the above guide, the controller 202 provides the organic service by reproducing the selected organic data or executing the organic program (steps 410 and 412).

As such, the organic dedicated terminal 200 of the present invention downloads organic data or organic programs from the mobile communication terminal 100 and provides an organic service, thereby providing an organic service provided by a mobile communication company without directly using another's mobile communication terminal. To be provided.

A data communication process between the organic dedicated terminal 200 and the mobile communication terminal 100 will be described once again with reference to FIG. 5.

When the user requests the download of the organic data or the organic program, the control unit 102 of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the control unit 202 of the organic dedicated terminal 200 confirm the connection (step ①). Herein, the method for confirming connection between the two devices is well known in the art, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the connection is confirmed, the control unit 102 of the mobile communication terminal 100 notifies the control unit 202 of the organic dedicated terminal 200 to prepare for download, and according to the notification, the control unit of the organic dedicated terminal 200 ( 202 permits the download (steps ② and ③). When the download is permitted in this way, the control unit 102 of the mobile communication terminal 100 downloads the organic data or the organic program that the user wants to download to the control unit 202 of the organic dedicated terminal 200, and during this download, Loss or download is checked (step ④). When downloading the organic data or the organic program, data packets transmitted and received between the mobile communication terminal 100 and the organic dedicated terminal 200 are field number, data number, name, data, and error check as shown in FIG. Consists of data.

When the download of the organic data or the organic program is completed, the control unit 102 of the mobile communication terminal 100 requests the end of the download to the control unit 202 of the organic dedicated terminal 200. The download of data or organic programs is terminated (steps ⑤ and ⑥).

As described above, the present invention enables the provision of various organic services provided by a mobile communication company without directly using the mobile communication terminal, thereby suppressing the use of the mobile communication terminal by others for the purpose of using the organic service. There is an advantage to this.

By suppressing the use of the mobile terminal by others as described above, it is possible to solve the problem of restricting the use of the mobile terminal, excessive billing due to indiscreet download, or power consumption of the mobile terminal. There is this.
