Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for controlling a transmission of an SMS message is provided to calculate counting information by analyzing received plural telephone numbers, and to transmit the received telephone numbers together with receiving frequency information during a receiving failure recovery process, thereby reasonably limiting a delivery of catch/manner calls according to a repeatedly received identical telephone number. CONSTITUTION: After an initial state(S1), a system decides whether a telephone call connection signal is requested(S2). If so, the system requests a terminal to connect a current call(S3), and confirms whether a response signal is transmitted from the terminal(S4). If not, the system receives all telephone information received in the terminal having a receiving failure, and stores the received information(S40). The system compares a received telephone number with a currently received telephone number(S6). If the compared numbers are identical, the system counts the received telephone number(S8). The system decides whether the terminal failure is recovered(S9). If so, the system transmits the received telephone number together with repeated receiving frequency information of the number in SMS message type(S10).

Description

Method for controlling a transmission of the SMS message

The present invention relates to a method for controlling transmission of an SMS message, and in particular, when a plurality of phone number signals are received by a terminal having a data reception failure due to various causes, the SMS message center analyzes the received phone numbers and counts them according to whether they are identical. The present invention relates to a method for controlling transmission of an SMS message that calculates information and transmits a reply number of a telephone number received during the recovery of a reception failure of a corresponding terminal and the reception frequency information.

In general, a wireless local loop (WLL) system is a telephone system that wirelessly connects subscriber lines within a distance of about 2-6 [km] from a base station without using a conventional telephone line. Many WLL-type systems have been developed and used, such as satellite systems, fixed microwave systems, cellular technology systems, and cordless systems. Used. The system using this cellular technology can coexist with the same network as the cellular mobile phone or PERSONAL COMMUNICATION SERVICE (PCS), and can cover a wider area, making the network more economical. In particular, in the early 1980s, the cellular mobile communication system divided the service area into hexagonal cells of several km to several ten kilometers in diameter, and repeatedly used the same frequency channel in geographically separated cells. According to the movement, the cellular-phone, which implements the radio channel switching function between cells, has grown rapidly due to the first commercialization.

In addition, the mobile communication terminal as described above provides various service menus on the terminal for convenience of the user. For example, a short message service (SMS), an e-mail transmission, and an Internet connection are provided. . In this case, the SMS data signal is normally limited to within 8 0 bytes when transmitted to the terminal.

Then, referring to the conventional mobile communication system as described above with reference to FIG. 1, a function signal transmitted from a plurality of terminals 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message, may be wirelessly processed or an SMS broadcast message may be sent to the terminal 70. Relay base station 71, the MSC 72 for controlling the transmission function of the call signal or SMS broadcast message input via the base station 71, and the MSC 72 is connected to the terminal 70 SMS message center 73 for providing SMS messages according to catch messages or manner calls sent from subscribers.

Here, the catch call / manner call function transmits all the phone number information received during the reception failure to the terminal where the reception failure occurred after the reception failure occurred in the call call service or the power-off state. In addition, the SMS data processed by the SMS message center 73 can be largely divided into a point to point method and a broadcasting method, and the dual point to point method checks the state of the terminal in the SMS message center 73. It is responsible for completing the transmission until the end. On the other hand, the broadcasting method is a method of transmitting a message to all terminals that can simultaneously receive a message through a paging channel.

On the other hand, the catch call / manner call operation of the conventional mobile communication system as described above, first, the MSC 72 performs the call processing operation via the base station 71, for example, the terminal has a number of members 74, When the service area or leave the power off (Power off) state through the SMS message center (73) to execute the catch call / manner call function, the SMS message center 73, MSC (72) And the reception state recovery of the corresponding terminal 70 continues through the base station 71. On the other hand, when the terminal 70 recovers the reception, for example, when the terminal is in the IDLE state or is restored to the POWER ON state, the terminal 70 receives and stores the phone number information of the other party that was received and stored while the terminal was in the incapable state. The MS message 72 is transmitted to the terminal 70 through the MSC 72 and the base station 71. Accordingly, the user of the terminal 70 receives the phone number information of the other party who has come to his terminal from the SMS message center 73 as the number of times of receiving the same while the corresponding terminal is in the incapable reception state. The user checks the SMS message one by one and takes appropriate action.

Of course, the catch call / manner call function is equally applicable to WLL terminals and wired and wireless telephones including the mobile communication terminal described above.

However, the SMS message center of the conventional mobile communication system stores all the phone number information transmitted to the corresponding terminal from that time when any terminal leaves the service area or is in the power off state. Then, when the terminal recovers the reception, for example, when the terminal is in the IDLE state or is restored to the POWER ON state, all the phone number signals received and stored while the terminal is in the incapable state are transmitted in the SMS message signal and transmitted to the terminal. In this case, even if the SMS message containing the same phone number is repeatedly received, the SMS message must be repeatedly sent to the corresponding terminal as many times as the number of receptions, so the SMS signal according to the same phone number must be repeatedly received. The terminal consumes less battery power There was a problem that occurred quite a bit.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it can reasonably limit the transmission of catch calls / manner calls according to repetitive reception of the same phone number that may occur when the reception failure of the terminal is recovered. Accordingly, a method of controlling the transmission of an SMS message, which can execute a high quality of the SMS service function of the terminal and also prevents the terminal battery power from being consumed more than necessary due to the reception of an SMS message service called a catch / manor call. To provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a terminal receiving status checking step of checking whether a corresponding terminal can normally receive a call signal when a phone number is received in a mobile communication system for transmitting and receiving a call signal; If the terminal is unable to process the telephone call connection by the terminal receiving status check step, the receiving information processing step of the failure receiving and storing all the telephone information to the terminal that the current reception failure has occurred, and receiving during the failure After the information processing step, all the telephone number information currently received is compared with the previously received reply number to confirm whether the same number exists. Confirm that there is a match between the reply number of the phone number and the reply number currently received If the number is stored and the number of the number of replies of the telephone number that is repeatedly received and stored in the receiving step and the receiving error of the terminal that was experiencing a receiving error after the step of storing the received number is recovered, the terminal that is currently restored The present invention provides a method for controlling transmission of an SMS message, comprising a step of transmitting telephone number analysis information for transmitting the received telephone number of the received telephone number and the received number information of the repeated telephone number.

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

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile communication system to which the present invention is applied includes a base station 2 which wirelessly relays function signals transmitted from a plurality of terminals 1A-N, for example, call signals and SMS messages, and the base station. Of the MSC 3 which analyzes the call signal and time information input via (2) and controls its corresponding function, and the terminals 1A-N which transmit and receive telephone call signals via the MSC 3; In the event of a reception failure, all phone number signals transmitted from other communication terminals are analyzed afterwards, and if it is a repeated phone number, it is counted and stored through the internal counter (4), and then when the reception failure of the corresponding terminal is recovered, The reception frequency information is also composed of an SMS message center 5 for transmission control.

In addition, the SMS message center 5 includes a controller 6 for controlling all functions of the SMS message center 5 and a memory 7 for storing SMS message processing information.

Here, the wired / wireless communication terminal system includes all wired and wireless telephones, WLL terminals, mobile communication terminals, and the like.

Next, the method of the present invention applied to the above communication system will be described.

The method of the present invention proceeds from the initial state S1 to the telephone call connection determination step S2 as shown in FIG. 3 to determine whether a telephone call connection signal is currently requested through the mobile communication network. At this time, when the telephone call connection determination step (S2) is determined as a result of the telephone call connection signal is not requested through the current mobile communication network waits for a predetermined time and then proceeds to the standby state (S1). However, when the telephone call connection signal is requested through the current mobile communication network as a result of the determination during the telephone call connection determination step (S2), it proceeds to the telephone call connection signal transmission step (S3) to receive the currently received telephone call connection signal. Request the current call connection to the terminal. After the telephone call connection signal transmission step (S3), the process proceeds to the call possibility determination step (S4) to confirm whether the call connection signal reception response signal is transmitted from the corresponding terminal that has requested the call connection of the current telephone call. Determine if is possible.

In this case, if the response signal of the call connection signal reception is received from the corresponding terminal as a result of the determination during the call possibility determination step (S4), the process proceeds to the normal call call processing step (S5) and connects the call of the other party's telephone signal to the corresponding terminal. To make a phone call.

However, when the response signal of the call connection signal reception is not normally received from the corresponding terminal as a result of the determination during the call possibility determination step (S4), for example, the terminal leaves the service area or is in a power off state. In case of failure, the receiver proceeds to the receiving information processing step (S40) and receives and stores all the phone information coming to the terminal in which the current reception failure occurs. After the reception information processing step (S40) during the failure, the telephone number repeat reception determination step (S6) is performed to compare the reply number of the previously received phone number with the currently received reply number, and whether the same number exists. To judge. At this time, if the telephone number repeated reception determination step (S6) is determined as a result, if the reply number of the previously received telephone number and the currently received reply number does not match with each other proceeds to the new information storage step (S7) SMS Message Center Stores the newly received telephone number signal in the memory area. However, if the reply number of the previously received telephone number and the currently received reply number coincide with each other, that is, when the same telephone number is repeatedly received, the number of times of storing the received number is determined. Proceed to S8) to count the reply number of the telephone number currently being received repeatedly and store with the corresponding telephone number.

After the reception frequency storage step (S8), the terminal proceeds to the recovery failure reception determination step (S9) to determine whether the reception failure of the terminal currently suffering from the reception failure has been recovered. In this case, when the reception failure of the terminal currently suffering from the reception failure is not recovered, as determined by the terminal reception failure recovery determination step (S9), the process proceeds to the standby state for a predetermined time and repeats the loop.

However, when the reception failure of the terminal currently suffering from the reception failure is recovered as determined as the terminal reception failure recovery determination step (S9), the process proceeds to the SMS message analysis information transmission step (S10) and the phone received so far to the currently restored corresponding terminal. Transmission number information of the reply telephone number carrying the number signal and the repeated reply telephone number is transmitted in the form of an SMS message, for example, voice or text.

In other words, when a telephone number signal from an arbitrary terminal 1A-N is input to the MSC 3 via the base station 2, the MSC 3 is a terminal 1A-N corresponding to the input telephone number. In this case, a call connection request for a telephone call is transmitted through the base station 2. At this time, if a response signal is received from the corresponding terminal 1A-N receiving the call connection request to the MSC 3 via the base station 2, the MSC 3 sends the received response signal to the corresponding terminal 1A. -N) to handle the normal phone call.

However, when no response signal is received from the terminal 1A-N in the call request process, that is, the terminal 1A-N is caused by several reasons, for example, the terminal leaves the service area or is powered off. If the call is not connected to the MSC (3) executes a service called a catch call / manner call, at this time, the control unit of the SMS message center (5) received the function setting signal of the MSC (3) (6) stores all telephone number signals transmitted to the terminals 1A-N from that point in the memory unit 7. Then, the control unit 6 of the SMS message center 5 compares the received telephone number signal with the telephone number previously stored in the memory unit 7 when the telephone number signal is continuously received after the above process. At this time, the SMS message center 5 stores the telephone number signal received later in the memory unit 7 when the telephone number signal received later does not match the previously stored telephone number.

However, the SMS message center 5 counts the number of phone numbers received from the same phone number by operating the internal counter 4 if the phone number signal received later during the comparison process matches the pre-stored phone number. Save it.

On the other hand, the control unit 6 of the SMS message center 5 continues the process until the reception signal failure of the terminal is recovered, wherein the SMS message center 5 is the base station 2 and the MSC (3) Continue to check the recovery status of the terminal (1A-N) through) and when the reception failure of the terminal (1A-N) is recovered, the call back number and the call back of the telephone number signal stored in the memory unit (7) Repeated reception information of the number is sent to the corresponding terminal (1A-N) by carrying an SMS message of the catch call / manner call form.

Here, the form of the transmitted message may be provided in the form of voice.

For example, the transmission message may be transmitted together with the reply telephone number in a voice form such as "02-566-5111 has called 10 times".

Therefore, according to the method of the present invention as described above, if the user of the terminal released from the reception failure received the same telephone number without indiscriminately receiving all the telephone number signals dialed to them during the reception failure and only once and then repeat the same. Retrieval also has the convenience of knowing exactly.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a plurality of phone number signals are received as a terminal having a data reception failure due to various causes, the SMS message center analyzes the received phone numbers and calculates counting information according to whether or not the corresponding terminal is received. By sending the reply number of the received phone number and the received frequency information together when recovering the receiving error, the catch call / manner call is sent in accordance with the repeated reception of the same phone number that may be generated when the terminal recovers the receiving error. Since it can be reasonably limited, it is possible to execute the high quality of the SMS service function of the terminal accordingly, and also to prevent the terminal battery power from being consumed more than necessary due to the reception of the SMS message service called a catch / manor call. have.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the accompanying drawings, it is usually possible in the technical field to which various substitutions, conversions and changes within the scope without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Will be evident to those who have knowledge of
