Description

AUTOMATIC OPINION COLLECTION METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a method for automatically collecting opinions of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for collecting automatic opinions of a mobile communication terminal that can automatically collect opinions of a counterpart who has received a message.

Prior to the short message service of mobile terminals, users had to make phone calls or confirmation calls in advance to make or confirm appointments with various people. The short message service has a broadcast message function, which transmits the same message to multiple people in one operation.

The broadcast message function inputs a phone number of a party to send a message in a batch, inputs a message to be delivered, and sends the message. The user can conveniently enter the phone number of the other party by using the phone book search function and selecting all the searched phone numbers.

By utilizing the broadcast message function, the user can conveniently deliver the same message to the other party in a single message transmission operation, thereby avoiding a simple repetitive operation, and conveniently set an appointment with a plurality of people.

However, in the prior art as described above, a message sent simply to make an appointment may or may not receive a response from the other party. Therefore, if the other party does not respond after checking the message, the sender may not know whether an appointment is possible.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes a confirmation function for asking the other party's opinion in a message so that the other party can select and notify the sender of the result of collecting the opinion automatically. Its purpose is to provide an automatic method of collecting opinions.

1 is an operation flowchart of an automatic opinion collecting method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: transmitting a broadcast message including a function of collecting opinions in the user terminal to the other terminal; Creating and responding to a message in the counterpart terminal, the message including the opinion selected by the counterpart; Receiving the opinion message at the user terminal and attaching personal information of the other party to a list divided by opinion; When the user has completed collecting opinions, the user terminal may be configured to notify the result of collecting the opinions.

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

1 is an operation flowchart of an automatic opinion collecting method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, as shown therein, transmitting a broadcast message including an opinion collecting function from a user terminal to a counterpart terminal; Creating and responding to a message in the counterpart terminal, the message including the opinion selected by the counterpart; Receiving the opinion message at the user terminal and attaching personal information of the other party to a list divided by opinion; When the user has completed collecting opinions, the user terminal may be informed of the result of collecting the opinions.

The 3GPP 23.040 specification describes the functionality and format for short message services. In short message service, not only text transmission but also extended message service can transmit image, sound, animation, etc.

In order to use the extended message service, a user-data-header must be used, and its configuration includes an information-element-identifier (IEI) and a length of information-element. ), Information-Element Data consists of three areas. The information-element-identifier distinguishes what kind of data is contained in the information-element data, and the information-element length refers to the packet length.

The present invention is implemented at the application level using values other than those defined in the 3GPP 23.040 specification.

Comment collection is defined in the information-element-identifier. There are "yes" and "no" areas in the opinion collection data area.

Suppose a user creates and sends a broadcast message containing an appointment schedule to a plurality of parties.

The user writes a message asking if he / she is in favor of the appointment location, time, or common problem. In addition, the feedback collection function is included by inserting an image or sound from the menu. Opinion collection function is a function that automatically returns a message whether or not to the user when the other person selects Yes or No image inserted at the bottom of the message.

The user completes the broadcast message and transmits it to multiple parties.

The other party checks the broadcast message and uses the arrow keys to access the yes or no image located at the bottom of the message. Then, according to whether or not the confirmation of the appointment or agree with the opinion, move the cursor to the Yes, No image and press the OK key to automatically send the message to the user who sent the message.

When the counterpart selects the yes image, the terminal generates an acknowledgment message including yes data in the opinion collecting information-element-identifier and the opinion collecting data area and transmits it to the user terminal.

Instead of the yes or no image described above, the opinion collecting function may display an image suitable for a situation to collect opinions of the other party.

The operation of the counterpart terminal receiving the broadcast message in the operation flow of the present invention is summarized as follows.

The opposite terminal receives the broadcast message created using the information-element-identifier from the user-data-header information defined in the short message service specification. The application parses the information-element-identifier of the broadcast message and shows the image to the counterpart whether to agree or not.

The opponent moves the cursor to the yes or no image to decide whether or not to agree and chooses according to his or her opinion.

When the yes or no image is selected, the counterpart terminal automatically attaches the opinion gathering information-element-identifier corresponding to the yes or no to generate an affirmative or disagree message and transmit it to the user terminal.

Hereinafter, the operation of the user terminal receiving the pros and cons message will be described.

The user terminal receives the affirmation message and analyzes it to generate an affirmative list. Similarly, when an opposing message is received, an opposing list is generated. After a certain period of time, the user checks the list of pros and cons to determine whether the appointment is possible.

Since the user's terminal randomly receives the affirmative and disagreement messages from a plurality of parties, the user terminal determines whether the message is affirmative or disagree. Record it.

Since the user can send several broadcast messages to an unspecified number, the pros and cons message includes the broadcast message ID corresponding thereto. Therefore, the user terminal reads the approvers list and the opposers list by referring to the broadcast message ID.

After a certain time, the user checks the list of pros and cons. If the pros and cons list has a statistics function, it can output to the user that the opinion collection is completed.

To this end, the user terminal counts the counterparts who sent the yes or no and confirms that the opinion collection is completed by comparing the number of the counterparts who sent the broadcast message.

In addition, by setting a function to notify the user when the opinion collection is completed over a certain level, it is possible to check the opinion collection situation in advance without waiting for the opinion collection is completed for a certain time. This is accomplished by calculating the ratio of the number of counterparts who have sent the broadcast message and the counterparts responding thereto.

As described in detail above, the present invention can conveniently know whether the appointment is possible when holding an appointment with a number of people, and when used in a research institution, there is an effect of confirming in favor or disagreement on any issue in real time.
