MSM (3; Mobile station modem) part which controls overall call connection status and controls function of terminal 1 according to terminal control signal transmitted as SMS signal from remote site and transmits the result to predetermined webmail. And a memory unit for registering the control character designated by the user according to the remote registration control signal of the MSM 3, storing the webmail address to which the processing result is transmitted, and storing various information of the mobile communication terminal 1; 4) and a codec unit 6 for converting an analog voice signal input through the handset 5 into a digital signal or converting a digital voice signal into an analog signal according to the call connection control signal of the MSM unit 3 and outputting the analog signal. It includes.

One end of the MSM unit 3 is connected to a key panel unit 7 for inputting a function setting signal of the user.

Next, a control method applied to the terminal of the present invention as described above will be described.

The method of the present invention proceeds from the initial state (S1) to the remote control information registration step (S2) as shown in Figure 3 to register the remote control character for remote control of the terminal and to store the webmail address. Then, after the remote control information registration step (S2) proceeds to the remote control character acknowledgment step (S3) to check whether the remote control character is included in the currently received SMS signal. At this time, if the remote control character is not included in the currently received SMS signal as a result of checking during the remote control character acknowledgment step (S3), the process proceeds to the general call processing function step (S4) to execute the general call processing function.

That is, when power is applied to the terminal 1 of the present invention, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 proceeds to an initialization state, forms necessary information from the memory unit 4, executes an initialization process, and then waits. Proceed to

At this time, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 recognizes when the user inputs a telephone number through the key panel unit 7 and presses a call button, and the user inputs the telephone number to the memory unit 4. In addition to the storage, the system accesses the base station system unit 8 through the access channel, and then transmits an outgoing signal to the corresponding telephone number. Then, the base station system unit 8 processes the outgoing signal sent from the terminal 1 and transmits an incoming call to the counterpart terminal 9 to form a call. That is, when the user of the terminal 1 inputs the voice signal through the handset 5, the codec unit 6 of the terminal 1 signals the voice signal input through the handset 5 to the MSM unit. Enter (3). The MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 wirelessly processes a voice signal input through the codec unit 6 and transmits the voice signal to the counterpart terminal 9 via the base station system unit 8 so that a normal call can be made. Is achieved.

On the other hand, if the remote control character is included in the currently received SMS signal as a result of checking during the remote control character acknowledgment step (S3), the process proceeds to the remote information analysis step (S5) and the remote control character received through the current SMS message. Analyze and check the control function you want.

Here, the remote control function checked during the remote information analysis step (S5) includes a missed call check function, a missed reception message check function, a terminal start / end setting function, and the like.

Then, after the remote information analysis step (S5) proceeds to the remote control execution step (S6) to control the function of the terminal according to the identified remote control signal. In addition, after the remote control execution step (S6), and proceeds to the webmail transmission step (S7) to transfer the result of the remote processing to a predetermined webmail address.

That is, in order to remotely control the mobile communication terminal 1 of the present invention, a remote control character must first be registered. For example, the user proceeds to a remote control menu through the key panel unit 7 to refer to a remote control. When inputting a character, the MSM unit 3 registers it in the memory unit 4. The MSM unit 3 also receives an e-mail address for transmitting the remote processing result from the user and stores it in the memory unit 4.

After the above process, the MSM unit 3 checks the received SMS message and checks whether the SMS message includes the remote control character set by the user. At this time, when the MSM unit 3 confirms that the control character set by the user is included in the SMS message currently received during the checking process, the MSM unit 3 refers to the remote control character by referring to the information registered in the memory unit 4. Analyze the set function.

For example, the MSM unit 3 checks whether the missed call record exists in the memory unit 4 and creates a missed call list when the remote control function received from the user through the SMS message is the missed call confirmation function. Here, the created missed call list includes a missed phone number and a telephone time.

On the other hand, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 transmits the missed call list created as described above to the webmail address previously designated by the user.

If the remote control function is the reception message confirmation function, the MSM unit 3 checks the existence of the reception message and lists the information (message content, time, message sender) for each message and the missed call. Send to the specified webmail address in the same way as the list

In addition, when the remote control function is a terminal start / end setting function during the process, the MSM unit 3 executes the corresponding function and then transmits the result to a predetermined webmail address in the same manner as the missed call list.

Therefore, the user of the terminal 1 opens the webmail at its current location and checks the information transmitted from the terminal remotely.

As described above, the present invention registers a character for remote control in the terminal, and when the control signal is applied to the terminal through an SMS message signal from the outside, the terminal controls the terminal according to the corresponding remote control signal, and then the result is written. By transmitting to the set website, the user of the terminal can check the messages received by the terminal while away from the remote site through the web mail has the advantage of maximizing the usability of the terminal accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the function of the own terminal can be controlled remotely without adding a separate configuration circuit to the terminal, the functionality of the terminal is also significantly improved.
