The present invention relates to a call connection between wired and wireless terminals, and more particularly, based on a caller's request registered in a call alert service, the caller's call request to the caller's personal computer (PC) based on the caller's preset caller information. The present invention relates to a call connection system and method for a called terminal capable of receiving a notification and executing a call between a calling terminal and a called terminal.

Recently, with the rapid increase of Internet users, web (WWW) applications based on HTML (HyperText Markup Language) have been developed, enabling various Internet businesses and cyber cultures to be created in a cyber space. In particular, various instant messenger services have been developed and provided to implement a community on the Internet. This instant messenger is a free Internet community service that enables chatting, real-time message transmission, file transmission, etc. to all users on the Internet.

1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of an internet communication network system 100 for using a messenger between users in a conventional Internet site. The conventional Internet communication network system 100 is a web server 110 for operating each Internet site, and the application server (Application) that is connected to each web server 110 by the Internet 120 and provides a site messenger to the corresponding Internet site ( 140). In addition, the user terminal 130 obtains information through an Internet site and uses an instant messenger through the application server 140, and is connected to the web server 110 and the application server 140 by the Internet 120.

That is, in the Internet communication network system 100 shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of user terminals 130 access an application server 140 via the Internet 120 in a web server 110 that operates each Internet site. A program for using a messenger is downloaded and displayed on the homepage in the form of an icon so that the visitor can select and use the messenger.

An internet user requests a website access request to access a website to which an instant messenger is connected using his user terminal 130, and transmits an HTML document to the web server 110 to permit access. At this time, the web server 110 requests the application server 140 to transmit the instant messenger, and the application server 140 transmits the instant messenger to each user terminal 130.

That is, the instant messenger program is downloaded from the web server 110 to the user terminal 130 and is installed and executed. Thus, the instant messenger is started in the user terminal 130, and the accessor is added to the accessor list on the instant messenger. In this case, if the visitor is a member of the website, the registered member ID is displayed. If the visitor is not a member, the guest ID is automatically displayed and added to the visitor list.

Thereafter, when communication between the user terminal 130 and the application server 140 is started, the user enters the instant messenger-only channel and becomes a message reception state. When the user clicks on an icon provided from the web server 110 and displayed on the screen of the user terminal 130, an independent interface capable of modifying the instant messenger is displayed. By calling the independent interface, a list of other users is displayed in real time so that the status of the users can be checked and messages can be sent and received.

In this case, one-to-one or one-to-many real-time chat function, channel search function, channel move function, channel open function, and name change function may be provided according to a user's selection. When the real-time chat function is executed, when a user selects and clicks a specific visitor from the visitor list, an independent interface that can be modified for one-to-one message transmission creates a message in real time and confirms an immediate response.

However, in the conventional Internet communication network system 100 operating as described above, when a user uses an instant messenger, messenger exchange is performed between user terminals capable of accessing the Internet, and thus communication functions with the mobile communication terminal are not implemented.

Therefore, the called party uses the personal computer PC and is notified of the call request status of the calling terminal on the monitor of the personal computer PC. The service system for the call connection of the calling terminal will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a block diagram showing a call connection system of the calling terminal according to the present invention. As shown, a terminating terminal 203 for executing service registration and receiving a call in response to a caller's call request, an originating terminal 201 for making a call request to the terminating terminal 203, and the terminating terminal 203 And the originating exchange 209 and the terminating exchange 207 for setting the call path of the originating terminal 201, and the call inquiry service registration for the location inquiry and the terminating terminal 203 of the called terminal 203 A mobile communication network 205 including a home location register 211 for management, and a call alert service registration status from the home location register 211 is notified, and a corresponding community server 215 based on preset online community information from a called party. Multimedia server 213 for transmitting call request information of the calling terminal 201 and the call request information provided from the multimedia server 213 connected to the community server 215. Recipient's personal computer to receive support: consists of (PC 217).

The calling terminal 201 and the called terminal 203 include a wired terminal and a wireless terminal, and may be a cellular phone, a DMB phone (ground, satellite), a PDA, a satellite phone, and the like. The community server 215 is any one of a plurality of community operation servers connected on the Internet, and preferably a messenger server or a mini homepage server. In addition, the personal computer 217 may have a PC client for receiving notification of the call request information, and receive the call request information on a browser without interworking with the messenger server or the mini homepage server.

Accordingly, the multimedia server 213 stores and manages URL information accessible to the PC client of the personal computer 217 when the call notification service is registered by the called party. In this case, when the multimedia server 213 transmits the call request information to the personal computer 217 of the called party, it may be desirable to notify the call request information after recognizing the online connection state of the PC client.

3 is a flowchart for explaining the main operation of the present invention.

First, in step S301, the called terminal 203 registers a call alert service through the mobile communication network 205 and registers a call alert service to the home location register 211. The service registration is a call notifier service for notifying the caller's call request to the called party's personal computer 217 as well as accessing the call with the called terminal 203 when the call request of the calling terminal 201 is made.

When the called party registers a call alert service, community information to which the called party connects is stored in the multimedia server 211. The community information is an online community such as a messenger or a mini homepage used by the called party and registers at least one or more. Of course, the called party can register URL information so that the called party can communicate with the PC client of the personal computer 217 if the above-mentioned community is not used or registered.

After the registration of the call alert service of the called party is completed in step S303, the calling terminal 201 transmits the call request to the called terminal 203. The originating information of the originating terminal 201 is provided to the originating exchange 209, and the originating exchange 209 transmits the caller information and the number information about the called terminal 201 to the home location register 211. In step S305, the home location register 211 queries the called party location based on the number information about the called terminal 201.

In addition, the home location register 211 determines whether a call alert service for the called terminal 203 is registered in step S307. If the call alert service for the called terminal 203 is not registered, the flow proceeds to step S317. The home location register 211 searches for the destination exchange 207 according to the called party location inquiry result, and then establishes a call path with the called terminal 203. In step S319, the calling terminal 201 is initiated call by the call setup with the called terminal 203.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S307 that the call alert service for the called terminal 203 is registered in the home location register 211, the process proceeds to step S309 and the home location register 211 registers a service registration state of the multimedia server. (213). In step S311, the multimedia server 213 extracts preset online community information from the called party. The online community information is a community to which the called party is subscribed or frequently used, such as a messenger or a mini homepage. The multimedia server 213 attempts to access the corresponding community server 215 based on the community information.

Extracting the online community information from the multimedia server 213 is to allow the called party to be notified of the caller's call request through the online community when registering the call alert service. The personal computer 217 may be notified directly. To this end, the multimedia server 213 may store URL information that can be accessed online with the PC client of the personal computer 217 instead of the community information of the called party.

The multimedia server 213 determines whether the personal computer 217 is online in response to the caller's call request information provided from the home location register 211. As described above, the online state determines whether the personal computer 217 is connected to the community server 215 or whether the PC client of the personal computer 217 is activated online. As such, the multimedia server 213 may determine whether to notify the caller call request information according to the online connection state of the personal computer 217. Of course, if necessary, even if the personal computer 217 is not online, the caller's call request information may be transmitted to the personal computer 217 (the multimedia server may store and manage the caller's call request information). In an embodiment of the present invention, the personal computer 217 is considered to be online.

In step S313, the multimedia server 213 transmits that the caller's call request status has been received to the community server 215 or the PC client. The community server 215 notifies the caller's call request status to the personal computer 217 under the instruction of the multimedia server 213 in step S315. The personal computer 217 may recognize the call request state of the caller when using a community such as a messenger or a mini homepage. The call request status notification of the caller provided by the community server 215 may be provided on the browser of the personal computer 217 or may be provided through a predetermined alarm.

On the other hand, the multimedia server 213 may notify the caller's call request status through the PC client of the personal computer 217 without interworking with the community server 215, so that the called party may receive an arbitrary call from the personal computer 217. As soon as you run the program, you can be notified of the caller's status. In this case, the arbitrary program execution means that the PC client remains online even when the user does not execute the online connection, and only the internal program of the computer is started.

In step S317 and step S319, the home location register 211 searches for the destination exchange 207 based on the terminal information of the destination terminal 203 and notifies the originating exchange 209. Therefore, the caller terminal 201 is connected to the caller terminal 203 and the call path between the caller terminal 201 and the caller terminal 203 is connected.

As described above, the call connection system and method of the called terminal according to the present invention, based on the call notification service registration of the called party, the call request state of the caller to the personal computer of the called party connected to the online community upon caller call request By notifying, the called party can recognize the call request state online regardless of the portable of the terminal, the caller can execute the call request to the computer and the terminal of the called party has the effect of increasing the call success rate.

What has been described above is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention, and as claimed in the following claims, without departing from the gist of the present invention, ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs. Anyone having the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various changes can be made.
