Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for immediately accessing a VMS(Voice Mail System) is provided to include a designated key in a telephone number field of other party of a transmission message field when the designated key is inputted, such that an exchange can immediately access a VMS of a telephone number of the other party. CONSTITUTION: If a transmission message field is transmitted from a cellular phone, an exchange receives the transmitted transmission message field through a base station(S10). The exchange decides whether a designated key is included in a telephone number field of other party contained in the received transmission message field(S20). If so, the exchange accesses a VMS of the other party(S30). If the designated key is not included in the telephone number field of the other party, the exchange connects a general voice call(S40).

Description

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

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

More specifically, when the other party's phone number is input after inputting a designated key to leave voice in the voicemail box of the other party, the other party's phone number field of the transmission message field received by the exchange according to the input of the specified key is inputted. Since the designated key is included, the exchange is to be connected directly to the voicemail box of the other party's telephone number.

The voicemail service stores the necessary voice content when a call is made to talk with the other party but the other party's mobile phone is turned off, when the other party cannot answer the call, or when the party is absent. 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 the 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 transmission message field transmission step of setting and transmitting a transmission message field according to the input of the designated key and the counterpart phone number; 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.

The transmission message field includes a counterpart phone number field. According to the present invention, the counterpart phone number field further includes a designation key for directly accessing a voice mail box.

That is, when the user presses the designated key and the other party's telephone number and directly enters the "call" key to directly access the other party's voice mail box, a transmission message field for transmitting to the exchange 30 is set.

In this case, the counterpart phone number field is set, and the designated key is included in the counterpart phone number field to set the counterpart phone number field.

That is, when the transmission message field is set, the designated key is recognized to be the other party's telephone number so that the other party's telephone number field is set.

In the exchange 30 having received the transmission message field as described above, the mobile phone 10 if the designated key for directly accessing the voicemail box exists in the counterpart telephone number field when determining the counterpart phone number field of the transmission message field. The call connection requested at is programmed to be directly connected to the VMS 40.

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

3 is a diagram illustrating an operation in an exchange for directly accessing a VMS. Since the operation of the mobile phone 10 is the same as the operation when a call connection request signal for a conventional voice call is transmitted, the drawings are omitted. It was.

In the mobile phone 10, the user inputs the designated key and the other party's phone number to directly access the voicemail box of the other party by operating the keypad 1, and then enters the 'call' key, and the transmission message field is set. The number field is set by combining the designated key and the other party's telephone number.

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.

If the transmission message field is set, the controller 2 causes the set transmission message field to be transmitted through the radio frequency transmitter / receiver 3.

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. 3).

It is determined whether a designated key is included in the other party's telephone number field included in the received transmission message field (S20), and if the designated key is included, it is connected to the other's voicemail box (S30). If the designated key is not included, 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 embodiments described above, 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, the present invention is useful when you want to leave a voicemail in the voicemail without wanting to make a voice call with the other party is directly connected to the VMS by inputting the specified key and the other party's phone number in the mobile phone.
