Description

Method for furnishing transmitters with receivers' conditions information service}

The present invention relates to a method for providing receiver status information service. Specifically, a mobile phone user can input and store his or her own situation or state in a database of a network operator using a mobile phone, and the reception time or state is maintained. It can be set together, so that the sender user is informed of the status or status of the receiver as an out of office message, the user at the receiving end provides convenience at the time of input, and a preset time without performing a separate release operation. The present invention relates to a method for providing a receiver status information guide service to automatically release an absence status when the elapsed time passes.

In general, when the receiving mobile phone user cannot receive a call, the receiving user turns off the mobile phone or switches to silent mode. At this time, when the calling user makes a call, only a message indicating that the power is normally turned off or simply not answering the call is transmitted to the calling party.

In a situation in which the user of the receiving mobile phone cannot receive a call, the most proactive countermeasure is a switching system for sending an out-of-office guide message to the calling party. It is.

First, the present invention discloses a more advanced improvement of the conventional missed announcement message transmission service technology.

Although the mobile phone user can easily record missed voice or other missed guidance methods in advance by using the subscribed exchange system, the missed guidance message transmission service is not so preferred to the mobile phone user.

In other words, the specific reception situation of mobile phone users varies and changes frequently. In addition, there is no need to set up the absent state through the exchange office and change or cancel it each time the reception situation changes. Even if the user is no longer absent, the absence guidance service is inconvenient for both the calling party and the receiving mobile phone user because the incoming call is not received when the absence status is not released through the exchange. It was not well used by subscribers. Rather, you can use the one-touch function of the mobile phone to easily turn the power on or off or switch to silent mode, so mobile phone users do not set up the absence status through the exchange office even if they are not available to answer the call. It was common to have the phone turned off or in silent mode.

In this case, however, the calling party does not know at all why the receiving terminal has turned off the mobile communication terminal, i.e., the mobile phone, and does not answer the phone for any reason. The problem of repeating occurs.

Moreover, the problem is that mobile phones are a necessity today, and voice calls using mobile phones have become the culture of a society, where the calling terminal user is an important customer, partner or member of the receiving terminal user. Or a person with close relationships, in turn, causes social problems that reduce one another's trust.

If the originating terminal user is a business critical customer of the receiving terminal user, or a partner, a member of an organization, or a person with close relationships, it causes a greater problem of mutual trust.

Then, when it is desirable to provide the receiving party's receiving status information to the calling party when the receiving party cannot receive or difficult to receive a call, the receiving party conveniently provides his own status information to the calling party. In order to be able to do so, there is a demand for a method for technically solving the inconvenience of inputting and releasing the above-mentioned reception status information. In addition, it is desirable to consider what information should be included in the sender and how it should be transmitted at the same time in terms of service provision, which is an important value of today's society, from the receiver to the sender.

As a result of earnest research efforts to overcome the above-mentioned conventional problems, when the receiving cell phone user cannot receive or difficult to receive a call, the receiving side uses the terminal input means to provide the receiving side context information and the request time. Invented a method of providing a receiver status information service, which can be conveniently input in a button type, and transmitted to a server installed in an exchange station having a memory means in advance, and the server installed in the exchange store the stored information and transmits it to the calling terminal. Basically, in the present invention, the step of sending a call connection request to the switching station at the calling terminal determines whether or not the status information has been previously input and stored in the switching server server from the receiving terminal of the call connection request. The situation information is not stored in the switching center server. When the request time has elapsed, the ringer transmits a ring tone to the receiver and a ring back tone to the sender. Send a ringback tone to the calling party, and if the request time has not elapsed, processing the situation information to drive the guidance system, and the exchange station sends the situation information stored and processed to the exchange server through the operation of the guidance system. Transmitting to the receiving party, displaying and outputting the status information instead of the ringback tone through the calling party terminal output unit, and transmitting and reproducing the calling party's connection information as SMS information to the receiving mobile phone. In addition, the receiving terminal user inputs context information through the terminal and leaves a message such as voice separately. If the calling party selects it and receives it, and the call connection request at the calling party is completely terminated and the call is over, the switching station further includes the step of retransmitting the situation information as a text message to the calling party. The terminal terminal user can grasp the current situation of the receiving terminal user precisely to find out the reason why the telephone call is impossible or difficult, and the receiving terminal user can easily input such reason through the input means of his mobile phone and also in advance. By setting the required time, it is automatically released when the time elapses, confirming that there is no need to perform a separate release action, and the present invention has been completed.

Accordingly, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is as follows.

The first object of the present invention is that when a mobile phone user cannot receive a call or a difficult reason occurs, such a reason, that is, the receiver side information is simply and conveniently inputted, stored, and subscribed to by using a button of his mobile phone. Disclosed is a method for providing receiver context information guidance service including a method of transmitting to a switching center.

In addition, a second object of the present invention is to allow a receiving terminal user to input a request time when the receiving side context information is input, so that when the call cannot be answered or a difficult situation is ended, a separate release is performed. The present invention provides a method of providing a receiver context information service that does not cause troublesome acts.

In addition, a third object of the present invention is to provide an improvement of a transmission method for more effectively transmitting the reception side status information to the calling user, and to further enhance the use value of information transmission to the calling / receiving side.

On the other hand, the technical problem of the present invention is not limited to the above objects, it adds that it includes a variety of synergistic effects occur in the following technical configuration.

The server installed in the switching center guidance service system of the present invention is defined as an "AMP (Advanced Mobile Presense) server" in order to more clearly express the above objects of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a simple and convenient method for receiving a situation information and a request time of a receiving side by using a terminal input means when the receiving mobile phone user cannot or cannot receive a call. After inputting and storing, the situation information and the request time are transmitted to the switching center AMP server having a memory means in advance, and the switching center AMP server discloses a method for providing receiver status information guidance service which stores and transmits it to the calling terminal. The first object and the second object are achieved.

In addition, as the method for providing receiver context information service, (a) transmitting a call connection request from the calling terminal to the switching center; and (b) the switching information is transmitted from the receiving terminal of the call connection request to the AMP. Determining whether the server is previously inputted or stored in the server; (c) if the status information is not stored in the AMP server, a ring tone is sent to the receiver and a ring back tone is sent to the sender; If the status information is stored in the AMP server, it is determined whether the request time has elapsed. If the request time has elapsed, a ring tone is sent to the receiver and a ringback tone is sent to the sender. Processing to drive the guidance system to achieve the second object.

And (d) transmitting, by the switching station, the status information stored and processed in the AMP server to the calling party by driving the guidance system, and (e) displaying the status information in place of the ringback tone via the calling terminal output unit. Outputting, and (f) the switching center stores the calling party connection information and transmits and reproduces the SMS information to the receiving mobile phone terminal, thereby achieving the third object of the present invention.

On the other hand, it is to be noted that all the configurations of the present invention act organically.

In addition, the present invention may provide a service in connection with a method for providing receiver context information service and a general ARS system. That is, when the receiving mobile phone user cannot receive or difficult to receive a call. In this case, the receiving mobile terminal user cannot use his own terminal, so the receiving party uses the terminal input means to provide the receiver status information and the request time. When it is not possible to transmit directly to the switching center AMP server, the receiving side situation information and the request time are inputted in advance to the ARS system using the ARS system for receiver status information guidance, and the switching center AMP server having memory means is connected to the ARS system. A method of providing a receiver context information guide service for storing a context information and a request time and transmitting the same to a calling party terminal, the method comprising: (a) transmitting a call connection request from the calling party terminal to the switching center; The exchange station inputs the status information to the AMP server in advance from the receiving terminal of the call connection request. (C) if the situation information is not stored in the AMP server, sending a ring tone to the receiver and a ring back tone to the sender, and sending the situation information to the AMP server. Is stored, it is determined whether the request time has elapsed, and if the request time has elapsed, a ring tone is sent to the receiver and a ringback tone is sent to the caller. If the request time has not elapsed, the guide system is processed by processing the situation information. (D) transmitting, by the switching station, the status information stored and processed in the AMP server to the calling party by driving the information system; and displaying and outputting the status information instead of the ringback tone through the calling terminal output unit. (F) the exchange station storing the calling party access information and transmitting and reproducing it as SMS information to a receiving mobile terminal. Provide a faithful context information service provision method to achieve the first object to the third object of the present invention.

The above situation information is about the current situation of the receiving side, and is one selected from during a meeting, during a meal, during a sleep, during a class, driving, during a long call, during an emergency, during a business trip, or during a movie theater screening. desirable..

In addition, the connection information preferably includes a calling party number and a transmission time.

Then, the receiving side transmits the receiving side situation information and the request time to the switching center AMP server having the memory means in advance by using the terminal input means, and in addition to this, sends a voice message for the situation information to the switching center AMP server, If stored, (g) after step (e), determining whether or not the originating terminal receives the voice message stored in the switching center AMP server; and (h) the calling message. In the case where it is desired to receive, the switching center further comprises transmitting the voice message to the calling terminal, allowing the calling terminal to play it, and not sending the voice message unless the calling party wants to receive it. In order to achieve the third object, such a configuration is the same when the ARS system is used in conjunction.

It is also preferable to further include (i) after the transmission at the calling party is completely terminated, retransmitting the situation information to the calling party by text message at the switching center.

Hereinafter, with reference to the embodiments of the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail. These examples are only for illustrating the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples.

1 is an explanatory diagram showing a process of transmitting and storing a reception side situation information and a request time in a switching center database using a mobile phone input means according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, when the mobile phone user cannot receive or difficult to receive a call, the mobile phone is placed in a call waiting state, and input of reception side situation information and a request time is started (S10). When the menu screen is selected in the call waiting state (S20), it is determined whether to select the missed setting mode or the missed release mode (S30). At this time, if the absence setting mode is selected (S40), the type of the situation information of the receiving side appearing on the LCD screen of the mobile phone enters the selection step (S50).

Types of status information on the receiving side are related to the current status of the receiving side, such as during a meeting, during a meal, during a sleep, during a class, driving, during a busy call, during an emergency call, during a business trip, or during a movie theater. The mobile phone user selects one of them.

If it is assumed that the cellular phone user selects "in a meeting" from among the types of situation information on the receiving side, the following procedure of the present invention is performed as follows.

Next, as a request time selection step (S60), a specific time for when the receiving mobile phone user is "in a meeting" can be set by using a mobile phone button. For example, using a mobile phone button, enter December 24, 2003, 14:00. In this case, the specific button input method is a matter well known to those skilled in the art as it depends on the program input to the controller in the mobile phone.

In order to carry out the method of the present invention, that is, a key input unit including input keys for inputting various numbers and character information and function keys for setting various functions, a display unit composed of a liquid crystal display device, and a mobile phone. It stores a program necessary for performing a general function, the context information and a request time according to the present invention, a header for storing each data, a transmitter for encoding and modulating a transmitted signal, and a function for demodulating and decoding a received signal. In an exchange station system for a configuration of a mobile phone including a data processing unit including a receiver and a control unit for controlling each function and a method of the present invention, a plurality of exchange units, a network connection module, a memory unit, a control unit, a number translation processor , Announcement message processor, SMS short processing processor, and billing processor. Used, which Incidentally that matters is well known to those skilled in the art.

After the mobile phone user inputs the situation information and the requested time as described above, the mobile phone user transmits the situation information and the requested time to the switching center (S70). Then, the status information and the request time are stored in an AMP (Advanced Mobile Presense) server in an exchange station equipped with a memory means, which is transmitted to the calling terminal upon request of the calling connection from the calling party.

When the receiving user wants to cancel the already set missed setting mode, the user selects the missed setting cancel mode by using the mobile phone button (S80), releases it by pressing the release button (S90), and transmits to the switching center. However, even if the release routine is not performed, the user's convenience is guaranteed because the switching center AMP server automatically deletes the situation information after the input request time has elapsed.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a receiver context information guide service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the calling mobile phone user attempts to make a call connection with the receiving mobile phone user while transmitting a call connection request through the switching office by inputting a telephone number (S110), the switching station receives the status information from the receiving terminal. It is judged whether or not it has been previously inputted and stored in step S120. If not input or stored in advance or has already been deleted, a ring back tone is sent to the calling mobile phone and a call alert is sent to the calling mobile phone (S210).

However, when the status information is stored in the AMP server, it is determined whether the request time has elapsed (S130). If the request time has elapsed, a ring tone is transmitted to the receiver by the receiver and a ringback tone is transmitted (S220). If not, the step of processing the situation information to drive the guide system. That is, the AMP server executes the announcement process using software equipped with the above-mentioned situation information ("in a meeting") and a request time (December 24, 2003 14:00), for example, "019-xxx-yyyy". You are in a meeting by 14:00 on December 24, 2003. "

Then, the switching center transmits the situation information and request time stored and processed in the AMP server to the calling party (S140), and the situation information and request time is " 019-xxx-yyyy " "You are in a meeting until" is sent through the calling party terminal output unit instead of ringback tone (S150), through which the calling party can know for what reason the called party cannot answer the call and when it cannot be answered. Will be.

In addition to the situation information and the request time, in addition to this, it is determined whether or not the voice message regarding the absence situation is transmitted and stored in the switching center AMP server (S160), and if the receiving user voice message is stored, the user voice It is determined whether a message is received at the calling party (S161), and when the calling party wants to receive the user voice message, the switching center transmits the user voice message to the calling party terminal (S170).

If the user voice message is not stored or the user voice message is not received, the calling party terminates all call connection attempts and hangs up the phone (S180).

At this time, the switching center converts the voice message back to the text message and retransmits the voice message, "019-xxx-yyyy customer is in a meeting by 14:00 on December 24, 2003" to the calling terminal as shown in FIG. 3A. It provides a more certain convenience so that the terminal user does not forget the current situation of the receiving terminal user (S190).

In addition, the switching center transmits the calling party's connection information, such as "019-yyy-zzzz customer," to the receiving terminal as shown in Fig. 3b. (S200). If the receiving terminal user has registered the calling party number user as "boss" and saved it in the terminal, the message is called by the boss. "December 24, 2003 13:15" Will be sent to the terminal.

On the other hand, when a mobile phone user cannot input the situation information and the request time using his mobile phone, for example, when the battery of the mobile phone is discharged or lost, the ARS system can be used.

That is, when the receiving mobile phone user cannot receive or difficult to receive a call. In this case, the receiving mobile terminal user cannot use his own terminal, so the receiving side uses the terminal input means for receiving status information and request time of the receiving party. If it is not possible to transmit directly to the switching center AMP server, the receiving side situation information and the request time are inputted in advance to the ARS system using the receiver situation information guidance ARS system. It stores the context information and the request time to be associated with the transmission to the calling terminal.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a mobile phone user cannot receive a call due to personal circumstances or when a difficult reason occurs, the mobile phone user can simply and conveniently transmit the reason to a subscribed exchange station using a button of his mobile phone. Therefore, there is a useful effect to avoid the hassle of storing the missed message only by voice recording.

In addition, it is possible to set the required time in advance while inputting and storing the receiver's situation information, and when the above situation at the receiving end is completed and the user can now receive a call, it is necessary to connect to the switching center network and release it manually. Without the set time for the reception situation elapsed so that it can be automatically deleted from the switching center AMP server, further convenience of the user of the receiving and calling mobile phones.

Further, according to the present invention, after the telephone call from the calling party is terminated, the sender retransmits the absence reason to the calling party again as an SMS message, and transmits the calling party's connection information to the receiving party to further improve the convenience of the calling party or the receiving party. There was a marked effect of enhancing it.
