Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for immediately accessing a VMS(Voice Mail System) is provided to set a message field that can directly access a VMS to '1' among message fields delivered to a base station when a designated key is inputted, thereby immediately accessing a VMS of other party. CONSTITUTION: A user inputs a designated key and a telephone number of other party, and inputs a send key(S1). A controller of a cellular phone confirms whether the designated key is properly inputted(S2). If not, the controller outputs an error message on a display or outputs a warning sound through a speaker(S5). If the designated key and the telephone number are correctly inputted, the controller sets a VMS access field included in transmission message fields to '1'(S3). The controller transmits the transmission message fields through a wireless frequency transmitting/receiving portion(S4).

Description

Method for connecting VMS directly {Method for connecting VMS directly}

The present invention relates to a method for directly connecting to a VMS.

In more detail, when the user wants to leave a voice in the voicemail of the other party, when the user inputs the designated key after inputting the designated key, the voicemail is directly connected to the voicemail box among the message fields transmitted to the base station according to the input of the designated key. As the field to be set to '1' is connected to the other party's voicemail.

The voicemail service stores the necessary voice content when a call is made to talk to the other party but the other party's mobile phone is turned off, when the other party cannot answer the call, or when the other party is not available. Refers to a service that allows access to the stored voice content.

However, at present, the user may use the other party's voice mailbox as described above, or when the user is not connected to the other party's mobile phone such as when the battery is removed or when the call is released.

Therefore, it is difficult for the user to use the voicemail box unless the above is the case. That is, when you make a call to the other party, you do not want to make a voice call with the other party.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, when you do not want to make a voice call with the other party to leave a voicemail in the other party's voicemail, if the user enters the specified key before entering the other party's phone number The purpose is to provide a way to directly access the voicemail.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention includes a call connection request step of inputting a designated key and a phone number for a voicemail connection by a user's keypad operation; A message field transmitting step in which voicemail direct connection data is set in a voicemail connection field of a transmission message field according to input of the designated key, and the transmission message field is transmitted; And a VMS access step for allowing the requested call to be connected to the VMS at the exchange receiving the transmission message field.

These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a diagram illustrating a system configuration for implementing the present invention. Some components for call connection of a mobile phone such as a subscriber location processing unit (HLR), a base station controller (BSC), and the like are shown. Specifies that you did not.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system for implementing the present invention includes a mobile phone 10 attempting to connect a call for accessing a voice mailbox of a counterpart, a base station 20 and an exchanger that receive radio frequency from the mobile phone 10. 30 and the VMS (Voice Mail System) 40 are included.

2 illustrates a schematic configuration diagram of the mobile phone 10.

That is, the mobile phone 10 is composed of a plurality of numbers and function keys, and generates a key data corresponding to the key selected by the user and transmits to the control unit 2 to perform the overall operation control of the mobile phone A control unit 2, a memory 5 for storing an algorithm and a phone number or a text message for operating the mobile phone, a display unit 4 for displaying an information signal generated during operation of the mobile phone, a voice signal or a text message And a radio frequency transmitter / receiver 3 for transmitting / receiving a signal to a base station.

When the user wants to make a voice call with the other party in the mobile phone 10, the user presses the other party's phone number and inputs a "send" key, but the control unit 2 of the mobile phone 10 recognizes and transmits the same. The items of the message field are set and transmitted to the base station 20, which in turn is sent to the exchange 30.

In the present invention, one field is added to the transmission message field item transmitted to the exchange 30.

That is, as the designated key to be directly connected to the voicemail box is input, the controller 2 of the mobile phone 10 causes the added voicemail connection field to be set to '1'.

In the exchange 30 receiving the transmission message field in which the voicemail connection field is set to '1', if the received voicemail connection field is '1', the call connection requested by the mobile phone 10 is transmitted to the VMS 40. It is programmed to be connected immediately.

Therefore, when the voicemail connection field is '1' or directly connected to the VMS 40 or '0', the program setting of the mobile phone 10 and the exchange 30 is performed. Of course, it can be changed according to.

A process of directly accessing a VMS in such a system will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, FIG. 3A is an operation flowchart of the mobile phone 10 for directly accessing the VMS 40.

After the user operates the keypad 1 of the mobile phone 10, the user inputs a designated key and a phone number of the other party to directly access the voice mail box of the other party (S1).

The designated key consists of a combination of special characters '*' or '#' and numeric keys.

For example, the designated key may be '* 77', '90 # 'and the like, and after inputting the designated key, the other party's telephone number may be input.

The control unit 2 of the mobile phone 10 checks whether the designated key is properly input (S2), and if it is input incorrectly, outputs an error message to the display unit 4 or outputs a warning sound through the speaker (S5).

When the correct designated key, the other party's telephone number, and the 'call' key input are completed, the control unit 2 sets the voicemail connection field included in the transmission message field to '1' (S3), and the transmission message field is set to radio frequency transmission / It is to be transmitted through the receiving unit 3 (S4).

When the transmission message field is transmitted from the mobile phone 10, it is received by the switch 30 through the base station 20 (S10, see Fig. 3b).

If the voicemail connection field included in the received transmission message field is '1' (S20), the call connection requested from the mobile phone 10 is connected to the VMS 40, that is, the voicemail box of the other party (S30). If the voicemail connection field is '0' instead of '1', the normal voice call connection process is performed (S40).

After connecting to the VMS 40, the user can leave the voice mail to leave to the other party.

The present invention is not limited to the above described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

As described above, when a specified key is input from the mobile phone and the other party's phone number is directly connected to the VMS, it is useful when you do not want to make a voice call with the other party and leave a voicemail in the voicemail box.
