Abstract

PURPOSE: A system for providing a multimedia manual and a method therefor are provided to reduce a cost and time required for fabricating an MMS(Multimedia Message Service) manual. CONSTITUTION: A terminal(110) transmits a manual request message with respect to an arbitrary function, receives a corresponding LMS(Long Message Service)/MMS-based manual, and displays it on an LCD. A manual server(130) stores manual data with respect to arbitrary products and arbitrary functions and updates it upon receiving descriptions for a new function from a manager or a manufacturer. An LMS/MMS server(120) analyzes the message received from the terminal(110) and checks whether the message is the manual request message with respect to the arbitrary function. If the message is checked to be the manual request message, the LMS/MMS server(120) transmits it to the manual server(130), receives a corresponding manual and provides it to the terminal(110).

Description

Multimedia manual provision system and method thereof {SUPPLY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTIMEDIA MANUAL}

The present invention relates to mobile communication technology, and more particularly, to a multimedia manual providing system and method thereof.

Typically, when a product is released, a manual is included that describes the function by mixing text or / and pictures.

For example, in the case of a mobile communication terminal, a manual book that describes a new function and a mixture of pictures and / or text together with existing functions is produced and distributed along with a product that is released according to a product release schedule.

However, conventionally, the manual book is released at the same time as the product is released, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to correct and update the manual book once distributed.

In other words, the conventional manual book production is a uniform and time-constrained work that accumulates manuals for all functions and produces them each time to fit a specific model, and has limitations as a document (material and editing process). Once released, manuals are difficult to correct or update.

Currently, the mobile communication service is provided with a voice message service and a short message service (SMS) as an important service. Recently, stock quote information, stock news information, exchange rate information, logistics delivery information, traffic status information, vehicles The multimedia data service is being widely used in various fields such as accidents, weather information, breaking news, and sports result service.

The multimedia data service includes a long message service (LMS) / multimedia service (MMS) for transmitting a long message and multimedia data.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a system and method for providing a multimedia manual, which can be used to download the MMS manual on-line in order to improve the conventional problems, so that the user can take advantage of the function at any time. There is a purpose.

Explanation of symbols on the main parts of the drawings

110: terminal 120: LMS / MMS server

130: manual server

The present invention provides a portable device for transmitting a manual request message for any function and receiving a corresponding LMS / MMS based manual and displaying it on an LCD screen to achieve the above object, any product, and any A manual storage server that stores manual data for the functions of the system and updates the manual data according to the request of an administrator or a product manufacturer, and analyzes the message from the portable device to determine whether it is a manual request message for any function, and If it is confirmed as a manual request message of the function is transmitted to the manual storage server receives a corresponding manual to configure the LMS / MMS server provided to the portable device.

In addition, the present invention comprises the steps of creating a manual request message including a manual item, a reception number (address) to be received for any function in the portable device to achieve the above object, and the manual request message to the manual storage server And transmitting the received MMS manual to the portable device, and displaying the received MMS manual on the screen.

The portable device is a mobile communication terminal, a PDA, a notebook.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

2 is a block diagram of a manual providing system for an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, by sending a manual request message for any function and receiving a corresponding LMS / MMS-based manual corresponding to the LCD (LCD) A terminal server 110 displayed on the screen, a manual server 130 for storing manual data on an arbitrary product and an arbitrary function, and receiving a description of a new function from an administrator or a product manufacturer, and updating manual data; The message from the terminal 110 is analyzed to determine whether it is a manual request message for a certain function, and if it is confirmed as a manual request message for a certain function, it is transmitted to the manual server 130 and the corresponding manual is received and received. It consists of the LMS / MMS server 120 provided to the terminal (110).

Referring to the operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

If the user does not know how to use any function while using the terminal 110 or wants to know how to use the newly downloaded new function, display the main menu on the LCD screen using the keypad and then know. Select the desired function and use the menu selection button to select the MMS Manual Request Menu.

For example, when the menu screen is displayed on the LCD screen as shown in FIG. 2 (a), and the function and method of using the “picture photo screen” menu are used, the menu selection button is used to display the MMS as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The Manual Request menu will be selected.

At this time, the manual request message screen displayed on the LCD screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 2 (c). The user inputs a number to receive, an e-mail address to receive, or selects a phone book from the phone book. Display.

If the user wants to delete a part of the currently requested manual list or select another manual list, the terminal 110 displays the manual search screen on the LCD screen as shown in FIG. 2 (e), and the user deletes the manual list using the keypad. Or proceed with the addition.

After the addition or deletion of the manual list is completed and the user selects the confirmation key, the terminal 110 converts the MMS manual request message into a form suitable for multimedia data transmission, and the LMS / MMS server 120 through the exchange to which the base station is connected. Attempt to connect to).

Subsequently, if the connection to the LMS / MMS server 120 is successful, the terminal 110 transmits an MMS manual request message as shown in FIG. 3 including a model name, a number to be received or a mail address to be received, and a manual list. 120).

At this time, the LMS / MMS server 120 analyzes the MMS manual request message to determine whether it is a valid manual request message, and if confirmed as a valid manual request message, passes the model name and manual list to the manual server 130 to request the manual. do.

Accordingly, the manual server 130 finds the MMS manual data corresponding to the model name and the manual list and delivers the MMS manual data to the LMS / MMS server 120, and the LMS / MMS server 120 transmits the corresponding MMS manual data to the terminal 110. Is converted into a form that can be received and sent to the mail address included in the terminal 110 or the MMS manual request message. Here, the type of MMS manual data that can be received by the terminal 110 is, for example, if the MMS manual data is too large to be received by the terminal 110 at one time, the terminal 110 is divided into sizes that can be received at one time. I mean.

Accordingly, the terminal 110 decodes the MMS manual data transmitted from the LMS / MMS server 120 using a parser / viewer or the like, and displays the message on the LCD screen to inform the user.

On the other hand, the connection to the LMS / MMS server 120 for the MMS manual request message transmission in the above can use a reservation method, even if the connection attempt fails to proceed with the operation by selecting whether to re-connection or reserved access. have.

As described in detail above, the present invention distributes the MMS manual for any function applied to the product on-line so that the user can easily know the function to be known at any time, thereby improving user convenience.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of reducing the cost and time required to produce the MMS manual.
