Description

Message transmission method in mobile communication terminal {Method for transmitting SMS in mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a short message in a mobile communication terminal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a message transmission method in which a user adds additional text according to a recipient when a user wants to transmit similar messages to a plurality of recipients.

The mobile communication terminal may perform various additional functions such as a short message function in addition to a simple phone call function. Here, the short message service refers to a two-way text service that can send and receive short messages regardless of whether a mobile communication terminal has a call. That is, the user of the mobile communication service sends a short sentence of about 100 bytes to the other mobile phone terminal, and the receiver (that is, the user of the other mobile communication terminal) can receive a message through a public telephone network, a data communication network, or the Internet. have.

The short message service function can be used to send a message regardless of the call status of the other party's terminal, and to send a message when the voice call is difficult in a situation where the recipient is in a difficult situation (for example, when a voice call is impossible in a conference room). In terms of transmission, the call cost is relatively low compared to voice calls. In addition, through a short message, you can use services such as news information, weather information, sports information, exchange rate information, traffic information, games, e-mail transmissions, bulletin boards, fan clubs, and the like.

 Because of these advantages, many users are using short message service instead of voice telephony. In particular, the use of short text messages is very high among teenagers, and a business strategy that targets text transmission between friends and lovers is unlimited and 400 free transmission services have been created.

However, there is a problem that it is cumbersome and time-consuming to send individual messages by sending a message such as event notifications to a large number of modern people. In order to secure this, a function of sending a short message to a plurality of people at the same time was added. However, if a user wants to send a message by slightly changing the recipient's name or information, the user has no choice but to input and send a short message individually. There was an uncomfortable problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and when sending a short message to a plurality of recipients, it is possible to compose by inserting a header and footer for each recipient to receive a text message containing separate text contents for each recipient. It is to provide a message transmission method in a mobile communication terminal.

The present invention for achieving this object, when the user selects to enter the short text message input mode, the mobile communication terminal provides a screen to write a short text message. Write a message on the provided screen and specify multiple recipients. Enter a header and footer corresponding to each of the specified multiple recipient numbers and store them inside the terminal. A header and a footer corresponding to each recipient are added to the written text message and transmitted in the designated plurality of recipient messages.

Here, after the user receives and stores the header and footer corresponding to each of the recipient numbers, it is preferable to show the user to add the header and footer for each recipient to the created text message.

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

3 is a screen example showing a text message transmission process in a mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

When the user selects to enter the short message input mode by operating the keypad of the mobile communication terminal to transmit the short message (step 203), the mobile communication terminal provides a screen for inputting the short message (screen 303). . Selecting "1. New Message" (screen 303) provides a screen for creating a message (screen 306).

If the user writes a text message to be sent (step 206), and presses the 'OK' or 'OK' key provided in advance, a screen for inputting the contact number and the counterpart number is provided (step 309). . The user inputs a telephone number to be contacted and a telephone number of the other party, and according to the present invention, the user designates a plurality of other party numbers (step 206). In this case, the method of designating the other party's number is to enter the phonebook input mode by pressing the provided menu key, so that the user can select and send the people to send (screen 312). That is, as shown in screen 312, the user selects all of the counterparts to be sent from the list of phone number information stored in the phone book and selects a plurality of recipients to be transmitted by pressing the OK button.

When the plurality of recipients are selected as described above, a screen for inputting a header and a footer is provided according to the phone numbers corresponding to the selected plurality of recipients (screen 315). Here, the user writes a text to be added in addition to the message of the message 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year', which is prepared in advance, by dividing the header and footer according to each phone number (step 212).

For example, suppose a user wants to send the above Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to three users, Kim Young-hee, Kim Min-hee and Park Cheol-su. Write a message, and select the number of recipients, 'Kim Young-hee', 'Kim Min-hee' and 'Park Chul-soo', from the phonebook. After selecting the phone number, a screen for creating a header and a footer is provided according to the selected three phone numbers.

If such a screen is provided, the user creates a header and footer for each recipient. In other words, the user writes a header called 'Young-hee-ya' and 'Bay ~' that he wants to add to the recipient of 'Kim-young-hee' in front of 'Kim Young-hee' phone number '011.000.0001'. In addition, the user writes the heading 'Min Hee-ya' and 'Hello ~' which he wants to add to the recipient in front of 'Kim Min-hee' phone number '011.000.0002'. In this case, after the user inputs a header and footer corresponding to each of the recipient numbers, it is preferable to show the user to add the header and footer for each recipient to the text message.

This message is sent to a number of recipients (step 215 ?? screen 318). At this time, the recipient 'Kim Young-hee' receives the message 'Young-hee, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bye ~' and 'Kim Min-hee' The recipient will receive the message 'Hi-Hee, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.'

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated to the several example, this invention is not limited to a specific Example. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, by sending a short message to a large number of people and allowing the user to additionally send text at the beginning and the end of the message, instead of the same message, the user can send a message of similar contents to the recipient. If you want to input differently according to the information and send it to a large number of recipients, it is convenient for users to use short messages by allowing them to send messages without having to input and send them individually.
