Description

Education and practice system for mobile contents}

The present invention relates to a mobile content training system and a method for operating the mobile content training system for practicing and demonstrating mobile content such as mobile games, ringtones, characters, and videos through a system independently established in a training room in a classroom.

In the past, it was very difficult to provide a practice and demonstration of such mobile content. The reason is that such mobile contents can be used only by a mobile service provider through a content service server in a mobile service provider's system or a contracted CP (Contents Provider) service provider for a paid service, or a transmission method to a mobile terminal can also be performed by wire transfer. It is a large system connected to a payment system capable of charging for the use of content, and the system configuration is complicated according to the type of mobile communication company or terminal for commercial service, and all systems for content practice are practiced in the lab. Because it is almost impossible to install on.

Therefore, the existing contents of mobile contents education are satisfied to carry out the production process by the production method generally known in the contents industry, or some contents are demonstrated using virtual mobile terminal software (emulator) on the PC. It is all to see. For example, some of these emulators are well demonstrated on PCs, but there are cases in which actual S / W standards are not applicable to actual terminals, and various specifications according to each carrier, terminal manufacturer, and mobile terminal specifications cannot be practiced.

As such, various conventional mobile content education consists of theory-based lectures on how to use content production software. Actually, when demonstrating on mobile terminals, the evaluation and problems of the corresponding contents cannot be confirmed. You can't do this, and how to build a server to serve this content is impossible.

In the existing education without the actual demonstration as described above, the learner only learns virtual theories that are far from the real world, and as a result, all the mobile contents can be actually demonstrated, and the training practice system can evaluate the creation through the demonstration on the terminal. And a need for a method of operation thereof.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to install a mobile content server in the system, to automatically check / convert the content produced by the student to the corresponding terminal standard and to store it in the server, and to receive a specific message by a specified method. It is to provide a training system and a method of operating the mobile terminal to download the corresponding content by the operation of the server.

According to a feature of the present invention, a participant for producing mobile content is freely connected to an independent mobile content server to store / modify / delete / preview (listen) the content; The content server includes means for automatically checking / converting the specification of the stored content; Means for wirelessly transmitting a specific message generated by a server to a mobile terminal without performing a general content transmission process; Means for causing the mobile terminal receiving the message to download the corresponding content from the designated mobile content server; A training system for evaluating the normality and completeness of the produced content by demonstrating the corresponding content on the terminal is provided.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a system capable of installing all systems in a training system, storing content produced by a student and accessing a mobile terminal, and downloading a content according to operation of a server, and a mobile terminal The present invention devises a mobile contents education and practice system mainly for a wireless transmitter that can transmit a specific message to download a content by accessing a server.

Now, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the training system and its operation method according to the present invention.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a mobile content training system according to the present invention.

The entire training system 100 is composed of a content server 110, a wireless transmission unit 120, the internal client 130.

When the operation is outlined, the participants first create content such as a game, a character, a ringtone, and a video using a separate dedicated software and equipment for producing the content. The produced content is stored in the content server 110 through the inspection / conversion of the content through the client PC 130 in which the client software according to the present invention is installed. Then, when the learner designates the mobile terminal in the PC and requests the transmission of the corresponding content, the content server 110 receives the content and transmits a specific message to the wireless transmission unit 120 to the designated mobile terminal 140. At this time, the content server 110 designates a URL address where the corresponding content exists. The terminal receiving the message accesses the content server 110 in a wireless Internet manner according to the received Uniform Resource Locator (URL) message. When the terminal 140 connects, the content server 110 determines the type of the terminal and downloads the corresponding content according to the accessed URL.

The operation of the content server 110 is to set up and operate a wireless Internet page which is designated as the most essential element in the present invention, and to generate a specific message capable of transmitting the related content, and the terminal receiving the message accesses the server. Features for detecting information about the terminal and the requested content, and the content is automatically downloaded to the terminal.

The content server 110 is divided into a main processing system 111 and a database 112 as shown in FIG. 1, but may be configured as one system as a general computer server.

In particular, the content server 110 is characterized in that the mobile terminal is designed to download the content for all mobile carriers and all types of mobile terminals when the mobile terminal receives the content transmission message, and this part is the process of FIG. If you look at it.

The wireless transmitter 120 includes a transmission controller 121 and a wireless module 122. The transmission control unit is in charge of communication with the content server, controls the wireless module, and also controls a database for storing the transmission request message and the transmission result in the transmission control unit.

The transmission control unit 121 may be configured by a general computer, and the wireless module may be controlled through a serial communication interface generally provided to the wireless module 122. As such, controlling the wireless module using serial communication is provided to control the functions of the wireless module from the time when the wireless module is first developed, and thus can be easily used by those skilled in the art. However, in the present invention, the content server is designed to play a role of transmitting a predetermined specific generated message in the form of a URL using the wireless module. In addition, this wireless module enables the transmission of content transmission messages in the form of URL messages directly within the training system without going through any other system. Therefore, the training system 100 can independently perform all the processes.

If necessary, the message transmission function performed by the wireless module 122 may be configured by another method such as wired transmission. Even in such a case, the message generation and operation functions of the present invention remain unchanged.

The internal client 130 generally refers to client software operating on a PC that is connected to a content server and a LAN, such as H / W. At this time, the method may be configured as a website or a separate dedicated software. Clients can communicate with content servers in any form, and only need to perform a given function, such as attendee management / content uploading.

The client also inspects and converts the specification of the content stored by the learner. In addition, it communicates with the content server and serves as a user interface for displaying various processing requests, processing results, and displaying error details.

The external access student 150 may be referred to as an external client, which is easily connected to the outside by connecting to the training system 110 and the Internet. When a function provided by an internal client is configured through a website method, the external client can be configured to be able to access through the Internet.

The mobile terminal 140 has no restrictions on the type of terminal, the mobile carrier, etc., and may be a terminal capable of downloading the corresponding content. However, the content server must have information such as model type and header values of all terminals to be practiced.

2 is a flowchart illustrating main functions and operations of a content server according to the present invention.

In step 201, the participant selects content already produced and stored in the database 112 of the content server in the client PC, inputs the number of the mobile terminal to be transmitted, and requests transmission.

In step 202, the main processing system 111 of the content server that has received the content transfer request including the corresponding content and the inputted mobile terminal number information, first designates a wireless Internet page to which the corresponding terminal receives and accesses a message. The wireless Internet pages may be classified according to mobile carriers, and may or may not be classified according to content type if necessary. Then, the main processing system 111 of the content server generates a parameter (parameter) to find the corresponding content stored in the database 112, the URL address corresponding to the designated wireless Internet page and the generated parameter. Request transmission to the wireless transmission unit 120.

In step 203, the wireless transmitter, having received the URL address, the parameter, and the mobile terminal number, transmits a message including them to the corresponding terminal.

In step 204, the terminal receiving the message is connected to the content server by a wireless Internet connection. At this time, the wireless Internet connection is made by the user's operation of the terminal receiving the message. The address to which the terminal connects is a URL address specified by the content server in step 202 and transmitted by the wireless transmission unit in step 203.

In step 205, the content server detects the header value and the parameter of the terminal connecting to the specified URL.

In step 206, the type of the terminal is found based on the detected header value. In particular, the content server must have matching information of all terminal types and header values necessary to operate this system in the database.

In step 207, it is determined by searching the database 112 whether the type of the connected terminal is a terminal that can download content. This is because even if the terminal type corresponding to the header value is matched in step 206, there may be a terminal which cannot download the content.

In step 208, if the terminal is possible in step 207, the connected terminal finds the content to be downloaded by using the parameters detected in step 205.

In step 209, the content server generates and executes a script command that allows the connected terminal to download the corresponding content. At this time, the content server generates a script corresponding to the terminal type identified in step 206, and the script includes a command to automatically detect the corresponding content selected in step 201 and download the terminal. In particular, the content server should store basic script commands for all types of terminals.

In step 210, it is determined whether the terminal has completed downloading the corresponding content.

In step 211, the terminal stores the downloaded content in the terminal.

In step 212, if the terminal is unable to transmit the content in step 207, or if the terminal does not complete the download of the content in step 210, the corresponding error message is displayed on the terminal.

In step 301, the learner connects to the client software. In this case, the method may take various ways such as logging in to a website or logging in to a separate dedicated software.

In step 302, the participant pre-produces the content file using specialized software and equipment for producing various contents. In order to upload this content file to the content server, the type of software produced and its specification must be selected on the client screen. The type of content and its specification should be specified in advance.

In step 303, the participant selects the type and specification and then issues a command to upload the content file to the server.

In step 304, the client receiving the uploading instruction of the learner checks the specification of the file.

In step 305, the client automatically changes the file format in such a way that the content can be downloaded to the terminal according to the type and specification of the content after the standard specification of the file is checked.

In step 306, the modified content file is stored in the content server.

In step 307, when the storage is completed in the content server, the learner inputs the number of the mobile terminal to the client to request the transmission of the corresponding content.

In step 308, the client transmits the number of the mobile terminal received in step 307 and the information related to the content to the content server, the server transmits the content according to the process of FIG.

In step 309, when the transmission is complete, the terminal downloads the content according to the process of FIG. 2 and is demonstrated in the terminal.

In step 310, if the file specification does not match in step 304, or if the content is not transmitted to the terminal in step 306, an error message corresponding to the client PC is displayed.

4 is a flowchart illustrating main functions and operations of a content message wireless transmission unit according to the present invention.

In step 401, the participant requests transmission of content from the client. Same as step 307.

In step 402, a specific message for transmitting the content requested by the content server is generated. Same as step 202.

In step 403, the transmission control unit 121 receives the message from the content server. This message contains the number of the mobile terminal to be received, the specified URL, the specified parameters, and the like as described in step 202.

In step 404, the transmission control unit 121 stores the message and the terminal number, etc. received in step 403 in a database configured in the transmission control unit, and generates a URL message according to the type of the terminal to be actually transmitted to the mobile terminal. .

In step 405, the generated URL message is transmitted to the terminal via the wireless module 122. In this case, the transmission control unit 121 directly controls the wireless module 122 to transmit the URL message through the mobile communication network.

In step 406, the transmission control unit checks the signal coming into the wireless module to determine whether the transmission of the URL message is complete.

In step 407, when the transmission is completed, the completed URL message and the transmission result are stored in the database configured in the transmission control unit 121.

In step 408, if the transmission fails in step 406, the corresponding error message is sent to the content server so that the content server can recognize it.

As described above, the system devised by the present invention enables various mobile contents to be directly transmitted and demonstrated in a practice system. In particular, by embedding information such as headers, scripts, etc. for all terminals to be practiced in advance, a content server can be installed directly in the training system to enable all mobile operators, all terminals, and most contents.

Participants can immediately demonstrate the contents they developed in the lab, so that they can develop reliable contents, and a series of systems exist in the lab to enhance understanding of the content service process and to develop various types of application development.
