First, in step 310, the control unit 23 of the wired / wireless terminal checks whether there is a short message (or an e-mail) and then proceeds to step 314 when there is a short message. In step 314, the received short message is stored in the memory 28 of the wired / wireless terminal. Thereafter, in step 316, the controller 23 determines whether the remote control command syntax preset in the memory 28 matches the contents of the received short message, and the preset remote control command syntax matches the received short message. If so, the flow proceeds to step 318. The remote control command syntax may include a header for remote control, a password, a command to dial, a telephone number to be contacted, and the like. In step 318, the controller 23 dials the telephone number input in the short message. Thereafter, in step 320, if a call is received within a predetermined time, the call is connected in step 322. Thereafter, in step 324, under the control of the control unit 23, the password input guide message of the automatic response function unit 10 is sent. The password input guide message is for entering the remote control mode after the call path is connected, and a voice guidance message such as "Please enter the password if you want to remote control mode".

Thereafter, in step 326, the password is input by the user, and then, in step 328, it is determined whether the password matches the preset password. In step 330, the password re-entry guide message is sent and the process returns to step 326 to repeat the above process. In step 332, the remote control mode is entered.

When a user of a wired / wireless terminal goes out, a short message may be transmitted to a mobile communication terminal that is carried in order to remotely control a wired / wireless terminal in a house. The short message to be transmitted is the same as "M920 0000 0100 01695302222", and "M920 0000 0100" matches the command syntax for the preset remote control. Dial the telephone number "01695302222" of the short message sent to the wired or wireless terminal to connect the call path. The wired / wireless terminal receives a password for the remote control mode, and if the password matches the preset password, the remote control mode is executed. When the preset password is "* 0000 *" and the user of the mobile communication terminal inputs "* 0000 *", the wired / wireless terminal checks the DTMF (Dual Tone MultiFrequency) and enters the remote control mode.

As described above, when the content of the message matches a preset remote control mode command syntax by receiving a short message or an e-mail, the user can remotely control the wired / wireless terminal by dialing the contact number left in the message. Remote control using the wired or wireless terminal as described above may operate using the caller ID display service. This will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, in the standby mode of step 410, the controller 23 checks whether there is a call arrival in step 412 and proceeds to step 414 when there is a call arrival. If the calling party number is detected in step 414, if the calling party number is detected, the process proceeds to step 418. If the calling party number is not detected, the process proceeds to step 416. In step 416, the call-related function is performed. In step 418, the calling party number detected in step 414 is stored in the memory 28. Thereafter, the call ends at step 420. The call is terminated by the user of the terminal that calls to the wired or wireless terminal, and before the auto answering mode is activated. This is to prevent the call charges from being connected to the call path.

Thereafter, in step 422, it is determined whether the calling party number corresponds to the preset phone number. In step 424, the control unit 23 of the wired / wireless terminal dials the dialed telephone number. Thereafter, in step 426, check if the call is received in time, and if the call is received in time, proceed to step 428. When the terminal corresponding to the preset phone number is the mobile communication terminal in step 426, if a predetermined time has passed after dialing and the user does not answer the call, the terminal is dialed only for a predetermined time since the call charge is added to the voice mail box. . After the call path is connected in step 428, the controller enters the remote control mode in step 430. After the call path is connected in step 428, the user may enter the remote control mode if the password is input by the user. This process is the same as described in Figure 3 will be omitted.

When the call is received from the preset phone number as described above, the wired / wireless terminal compares the preset phone number with the received call number using the caller ID service. As a result of the comparison, if the phone numbers match, dialing the called phone number enables remote control. The remote control using the wired / wireless terminal as described above may operate through an automatic answering mode. This will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

5 is an operation flowchart for remote control using a wired / wireless terminal in an automatic answering mode according to a third embodiment of the present invention. First, in the standby mode of step 510, the controller 23 checks whether there is a call arrival in step 512 and proceeds to step 514 if there is a call arrival. In step 514, if the caller number is detected by checking whether the caller number is detected, the process proceeds to step 518. If the caller number is not detected, the process proceeds to step 516. In step 516 it performs a call-related function. In step 518, the calling party number detected in step 514 is stored in the memory 28. Thereafter, in step 520, if it is determined that the hookoff is detected in time, if the hookoff is detected in time, the process proceeds to step 522, and if the hookoff is not detected in time, the process proceeds to step 524. In step 524, if it is determined whether the auto answer mode is set, and if the auto answer mode is set, step 526 follows. In step 526, the call path is connected, in step 528, a guide message is sent. The guide message may be configured as "1 to leave a voice message, 2 to leave a contact number, press 3 to remote control." In step 530, the mode selected by the user is received. In step 532, if the remote control mode is selected by determining whether the mode selected in step 530 is the remote control mode, the flow proceeds to step 536. If the remote control mode is not selected, the flow proceeds to step 534 to perform the corresponding function. In step 536, the telephone number to be contacted is input for remote control, and the call ends in step 538. The call end is made by the user of the terminal that calls to the wired or wireless terminal.

Thereafter, in step 540, it is determined whether the inputted phone number is in the caller number mode. If the caller number mode is selected, the process proceeds to step 544. In step 542, the phone number is dialed. In step 544, the dialed phone number is dialed. When the telephone number input in step 536 is the caller ID mode, the call number may be configured as "* 88 *". If "* 88 *" is input, the wired / wireless terminal dials the stored calling party number in step 518. If the telephone number input in step 536 is not the caller number mode, it may be configured as "* 880165392222 *", the wired and wireless terminal dials to "0165392222".

Thereafter, in step 546, if the user receives a call in time, the process proceeds to step 548. In step 546, if the terminal corresponding to the preset phone number is a mobile communication terminal, if a predetermined time elapses after dialing and the user does not answer the call, the terminal is dialed only for a predetermined time since a call charge is added to the voice mail box. . After the call path is connected in step 548, the remote control mode of step 550 is entered. After connecting the call path in step 548, the user may enter the password and enter the remote control mode if the password matches. This process is the same as described in Figure 3 will be omitted.

When the user of the wired / wireless terminal makes a call to the wired / wireless terminal using a mobile communication terminal from outside, the user's mobile communication terminal number “0165392222” is stored in the wired / wireless terminal. If the wired / wireless terminal does not detect a hookoff in time and the auto answer mode is set, the call path is connected and a guide message is sent. For example, a message such as "Press 1 to leave a voice message, press 2 to leave a contact number and press 3 to remote control" will be sent. The user selects the remote control mode by pressing button 3, enters "* 88 *" and ends the call. Since the telephone number input by the user is the calling party number mode, the wired / wireless terminal dials the dialed telephone number " 0165392222 " to connect the call path and enters the remote control mode. In the remote control mode, users can use various functions such as turning on and off the automatic answering function, replaying the automatic answering missed message, recording the automatic answering prompt, checking the missed call, receiving the short message, and playing the voice message. .

Therefore, if a user sends a short message and an e-mail or makes a phone call to a wired or wireless terminal in the home, he leaves a command to connect a call to an external terminal and the telephone number of the terminal to be externally contacted. By connecting a call to the terminal, the user can remotely control the wired or wireless terminal with an external terminal.
