The present invention relates to a message board, and more particularly, to a message receiving-only terminal for receiving only a message transmitted from a mobile communication terminal.

In general, personal communication service is an inexpensive and universal mobile service that enables an individual to perform voice and low-speed data communication regardless of place and time using a mobile communication terminal. Currently, wired / wireless communication networks mainly use voice communication. Although it is being used, in recent years, due to the steady increase in the number of data service subscribers, its use is expanding to non-voice services such as data services.

SMS (Short Message Service) supplementary service is a service that performs additional functions other than basic message delivery through a special type of message by providing additional information to the subscriber by loading additional information on the SMS basic service.

In order to provide various SMS supplementary services, it is easy to add or delete supplementary services and to create a service suitable for subscriber's preferences to facilitate the convenience of subscribers. Here, the method of managing received SMS messages of a general mobile communication terminal is attached. It demonstrates with reference to drawings.

And a base station / base international controller (BSC / BTS) 102 for allowing the terminal 101 to access a network using a wireless protocol, and request for additional services from the base station / base international controller 102 Additional service request and requested additional service from the personal communication exchange / visitor information processing system (PCX / VLR) 103 for relaying / exchanging short messages resulting from the supplementary service, and the exchange / visitor information processing system 103 A short message processing system (SMC) 105 for temporarily storing and transmitting the short message data for processing the short message processing system (SMC) 105 According to the received subscriber's request for additional service, the additional service integrated management system (VAS) 106 that performs SMS additional service management such as overall subscriber management, billing management and operation management for all SMS additional services, and additional service integrated management One or more SMS additional service units (ESMEs) 107 for generating a short message corresponding to the requested supplementary service under the instruction of the system (VAS), and providing the location of the called terminal for short message processing, and the called terminal provides a short message. Subscriber information processing system (HLR) 104 for notifying whether a message can be received.

The terminal 101 and the SMS supplementary service device (ESME) 107 generate and receive a short message and perform a function of terminating the delivery situation.

In particular, the terminal 101 may have a function of temporarily storing a short message and a short message notification function to process a short message in addition to a general call processing and location registration function.

One SMS supplementary service is implemented in one ESME 107, and the ESME 107 may exist inside or outside the supplementary service integration management system (VAS) 106 depending on the characteristics of the supplementary service.

The Short Message Processing System (SMC) 105 can additionally handle SMS basic services, and also performs a gateway function for short message processing, and exchange / visitor information processing system (PCX / VLR) 103 And performs an SMS Mobile Application Part (MAP) processing function for interworking with the subscriber information processing system (HLR) 104 and a protocol (X.25) matching function for interworking with an external service provider.

In particular, it performs a VMS access function for the VMS (Voice Mail System) notification function and a processing function (X.400) for the E-mail notification function. The personal communication exchange / visitor processing system (PBX / VLR) 103 is connected to the base station / base international controller 102 and the short message processing system (SMC) 105, and performs routing to perform a short message. It performs relay / exchange and identifies short messages.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing a received SMS message of a conventional mobile communication terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, first and second processes 210 and 211 determine whether a message is frequently received in a standby state; A second process 212 for storing and processing a received message when a result of the determination of the first process is received; Displaying the contents of the received message, and then determining whether a confirmation key has been input by the user (steps 213 and 214); A fourth step (214) (215) for determining whether to delete the message if a message content confirmation key is input by the user as a result of the determination of the third step; A fifth step (216) (217) of deleting the corresponding message if the deletion function is selected by the user as a result of the determination of the fourth step, and ending the reception of the message if the message storage is selected; A sixth step 220 of determining whether an SMS key is input to view a received message stored by the user when there is no message received as a result of the determination of the first step; As a result of the sixth step, if there is an SMS key input by the user, seventh steps 222 and 223 of displaying an SMS menu and determining whether an SMS reception mode is selected by the user; As a result of the determination of the seventh process, when the SMS reception mode is selected, an SMS reception menu is displayed, and when the message received in the past by the user is selected, the eighth process (224) and (225) returns to the third process. It will be described with reference to Figure 3 attached to the received SMS message management method of the mobile communication terminal as described above.

First, the mobile terminal determines whether to receive a message while standing by (210) and (211). As a result of the determination, when a predetermined message is received, the mobile communication terminal processes and stores the received message (212), and then the contents of the received message. Is displayed (213).

Then, it is determined whether the confirmation key is input by the user (213), and (214), and as a result of the determination, when the message content confirmation key is input by the user, it is determined whether the message is deleted (214), (215). ).

If the delete function is selected by the user, the corresponding message is deleted. If the message storage is selected, the reception of the message is terminated (216) and (217).

On the other hand, if there is no message reception in the standby state, it is determined whether the SMS key input for viewing the received message stored by the user (220), and if there is an SMS key input by the user as a result of the determination, after displaying the SMS menu by the user It is determined whether the SMS reception mode is selected (222) or 223. As a result of the determination, when the SMS receiving mode is selected, the SMS receiving menu 110 is displayed, and if a menu for viewing the short message contents is selected, the stored message list 120 is displayed, and any one of the message list 120 is displayed. When the user selects one (225), the corresponding received message 130 is displayed.

Thereafter, when the confirmation key is pressed by the user (214), the message storage / deletion menu 140 is displayed, and if the message deletion (142) is selected, after performing the deletion process (216) is switched to the standby state, If the message storage 141 is selected, the state immediately changes to the standby state 217.

However, such a conventional short text message service is generally used in addition to a mobile communication terminal rather than being performed as an independent terminal.

While mobile terminals have a strong portability and can exchange voices and texts with people who possess the terminal regardless of time and place, a single message is gathered in various groups or at specific places. In order to transmit to the user, it was inconvenient to transmit simultaneously or to all users individually using the broadcast transmission function. In addition, in case of transmitting to each person like this, there is a disadvantage in that the contents of the message cannot be known unless all users check their own terminal. In other words, the message sent to the mobile communication terminal owned by the individual has the advantage that it is easy to deliver the message at the individual level, while the text message can be noticed simultaneously and the public cannot use the additional service using the same. The disadvantage is lack of sex.

On the other hand, even from the point of view of telecommunications operators, it is important to improve the profitability by devising ways to utilize the already installed 2nd generation communication network in the situation that 3rd and 3.5th generation communication are popularized and the equipment is being distributed.
