The present invention relates to a content download method using a platform callback method of a mobile communication terminal. In particular, when a user desired content cannot be searched on a server based on a platform for a mobile communication terminal, if the user leaves search content information on a corresponding server, then the user leaves When the content corresponding to the content information is stored in the server relates to a content download method using the platform callback method of the mobile communication terminal to deliver the information to the user in the platform callback method so that the user can download the content immediately .

As the functions of mobile communication terminals are diversifying, in addition to voice call processing, which is a function of mobile communication terminals, SMS transmission, phone book, schedule management, calculator, phone book, and game A wide variety of add-ons and additional applications are being added, including add-ons and Internet browsing.

These functions are released in advance from the production of mobile terminal products, and because similar functions and different functions are distinguished and provided according to the model of the mobile terminal, overlapping investment and development of the same function by the mobile terminal manufacturer. It is not possible to satisfy different tastes according to the age group of users who use it.

In addition, when a function is added to the mobile terminal, in order to use the added application, the user has to visit the contact service center and upgrade the program as well as all the programs of the mobile terminal. Follows.

That is, due to the structure of the mobile communication terminal, data cable must be used to change the function, so that the external interface is not easy and generalized dynamic program environment such as DOS or Windows in PC is not provided. Therefore, the manufacturer of the mobile communication terminal develops all the software (S / W) and the user has no choice but to upgrade it directly at the service center.

In order to improve such disadvantages, platforms such as GVM, JAVA, BREW, WIPI, and WITOP provide a dynamic environment for mobile communication terminals. Is being developed.

GVM is a mini-C, JAVA is a Java language, Bree is a C language, Wippy is an improved Java and C language, Wipa is a C language, etc. The data service of the terminal can be stored and used in the user's mobile communication terminal. Applications currently being serviced are games (game), location information, stocks, karaoke, e-books, and various additional functions (cameras, etc.). A program for driving is known.

The platform providing such a dynamic environment currently operates as one of the menus of the mobile communication terminal. If the user wants to use a desired application program, the user selects the menu driving the platform providing the dynamic environment from the menu of the mobile communication terminal. In addition, the user selects and uses an application program according to a method of managing an application program of a platform that provides a driven dynamic environment.

Many of these platforms include the ability to download desired content after connecting to a specific server using a wireless communication function.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of downloading a desired content after accessing a server through a platform-based content downloader (part in charge of a content download function in a predetermined application) for a mobile communication terminal. Searches for the desired content after accessing the server using the platform-based function, the desired content may or may not exist.

If the desired content exists on the server, the corresponding content can be downloaded using the platform-based function, but the user has to abandon the download of the corresponding content that does not exist and complete the server connection.

Therefore, until the content desired by the user is stored in the server, the user must repeat the process of searching for the corresponding content after accessing the server, and unnecessary access is generated by this connection and the user's time and effort are wasted.

As described above, when a user wants to download a desired content after accessing a server using a specific platform function built in a mobile communication terminal, if the desired content is found through a search, the desired content is not registered. If not, it is necessary to repeatedly perform the process of searching the content by accessing the server until the desired content is registered, causing unnecessary billing and wasting the user's time and effort.

In consideration of such a problem, the present invention uses a platform-based function for a mobile communication terminal to search for desired content after accessing the server, and if the content does not exist, the user information and the searched content information are stored in the server. When the content that the user searched is stored in the server, the server recognizes the content and asks the user whether to download the content at the same time as notifying the user that the content searched by the platform callback method is registered in the phone number included in the user information. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of downloading a content using a platform callback method of a mobile communication terminal, which allows a user to download the content by using a content address included in a platform callback message.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention accesses a server through a platform-based function for a mobile communication terminal, searches for a desired content, downloads the content if it exists, and then completes it. Storing search content information in a server; Thereafter, when new content is stored in the corresponding server, the stored search content information is compared and matched to generate a platform callback message including access location information for downloading the corresponding content and acquisition information of the corresponding content, and refer to the user information. Providing the user terminal; The terminal receiving the platform callback message displays the content acquisition information and at the same time inquires whether to download the content, and if the user selects the download, accessing the terminal so as to download the content using the included access location information. It is characterized by including.

When described in detail with reference to the embodiments of the present invention as described above.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of an embodiment of the present invention, and is applied when a user searches for specific content after accessing a server using a platform-based function for a mobile communication terminal and does not find a desired content. It shows the additional content download process.

If the user cannot find the corresponding content on the server as a result of searching for the desired content, the user stores the user information such as his / her phone number and search content information such as the searched content name on the server. This may be done automatically, or if the user is not satisfied with the search result, the server may request it, and the server may inquire whether the user stores the user information and the search content.

If the user does not find the desired content through the search, the user information and the content information are stored in the server to complete the platform-based function (content downloader).

Thereafter, when new content is stored or registered, the server checks whether the content is reserved by a specific user by comparing with the stored user search content information. If the newly registered content does not have a user's previous search result, a platform callback message is generated and sent to the user with reference to the user information that retrieved the content. The platform callback message can use various kinds of callback functions. The most common ones include text information indicating that the content to be downloaded is newly registered, address information for accessing a location where the content can be downloaded, and information indicating a platform callback message. It may be a platform callback SMS message using a message for a short message service (SMS). In addition, broadcast messages (CVS) may be used.

Upon receiving the platform callback message, the user terminal notifies the user that the previously searched content is registered by using the text information included in the message and inquires whether to download the content immediately. Instructing to access the address information (URL) included in the callback message to download the content. At this time, the platform-based application (downloader) is automatically executed by the information indicating the platform callback message included in the callback message, and the downloaded content is stored as content for the platform-based function.

By using the above method, the user can immediately know the content as soon as it is added to the server without repeatedly accessing and searching for the content he / she needs, and immediately desired content without unnecessary search process. You can download it.

As described above, the content download method using the platform callback method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention accesses the server using the platform-based function and searches for the desired content. When the content that the user searched for is stored in the server, the server recognizes it and the user is notified that the content that was searched by the platform callback method has been registered to the phone number included in the user information. If you want to download, you can download the content by using the content address included in the platform callback message, so you know immediately as the content you need is added to the server. Can, Therefore able to receive download the desired content immediately, without the necessary process of search, and the effect of being able to reduce the unnecessary billing and the time and effort of the repetitive access and retrieval process.
