Description

Communication / Contents integrated service method and system using a portable access device {Communication / Contents integrated service method and system}

The present invention relates to a communication and content integrated service method and system using a portable access device.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a communication / content integrated service method and system using a portable access device capable of integrating a communication service and a content service by pressing a specific button of a portable access device connected to a mobile communication terminal.

Recently, the rapidly developing wireless Internet service is a mobile communication terminal such as a cellular phone, a PCS phone, a PDA, and the like, which refers to a service in which an Internet service is accessed and provided through a wireless network. You can use the Internet service anywhere and anytime.

The mobile communication terminal provides a wireless Internet service through a mobile communication network such as CDMA 1x / EVDO provided by a mobile communication service provider, and in the case of including a wireless LAN communication module according to a type, the wireless Internet service through a wireless LAN. Can be.

The wireless Internet service through the mobile communication network is available in all regions where the mobile communication service is provided regardless of the place. However, while the data communication speed is slow and the usage fee is high, the wireless Internet service using the wireless LAN has a limited service area in which the access point is installed, while the data communication speed is relatively fast and the usage fee is low.

Accordingly, in the case of a mobile communication terminal, a terminal capable of simultaneously using a wireless Internet service through a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet service using a wireless LAN, including a wireless LAN communication module, has also been widely used.

At this time, users of mobile communication terminals that do not include a wireless LAN communication module must purchase a new mobile communication terminal including a wireless LAN communication module in order to use the wireless Internet service through the wireless LAN, and in particular, as the types of mobile communication terminals are diversified. There was an inconvenience of having to purchase a new device including a wireless LAN communication module for each type of desired terminal.

In addition, the inflexible mobile service provider's call plans, restrictive content services, and complex usage of current telecommunications services did not provide enough communication / content integration services to meet user's needs. In order to solve this problem, we are developing a business model that can maximize user convenience by pioneering new business models through mobile communication terminals, content services that capture customer needs, and a convenient approach.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, by providing a one-stop route by pressing a specific button of the portable connection device used to connect to the mobile communication terminal integrated communication service and content service An object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for integrated communication / content service using a portable access device capable of serving as a service.

After searching and extracting the called party's phone number, after analyzing the called party's phone number according to a predetermined algorithm, the process proceeds to step S312 to perform a call with the mobile communication terminal of the called party's phone number.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user presses the called party's telephone number or a specific button (or the first input unit) for the communication service through the mobile communication terminal 100, the optimal communication path for reducing the communication cost. It will provide a communication service.

If, in step S306, the user does not enter the called party's telephone number to receive the communication service, but the movie, music, music video, games, wireless shopping, food orders, advertising, ringtones, publicity, booking, UCC, short message When a specific button (or hot key) of the portable access device for receiving content services such as e-mail and e-book is pressed (S318),

That is, when an input signal is generated through the second input unit 250 of the portable access device (S320), the controller 210 of the portable access device stores the input signal using the input signal input from the second input unit 250. Wap server for content services such as movies, music, music videos, games, wireless shopping, food orders, advertisements, ringtones, publicity, booking, UCC, short messages, e-mails, e-books, etc. After searching and extracting the access information of the analysis of the access information of the swap server 700 according to a predetermined algorithm (S322),

After selecting the optimal wireless data communication path and the optimal communication path for reducing the communication cost of the swap server 700, and controls the protocol of the mobile communication terminal to instruct to perform wireless data communication through the optimal communication path. In addition, the user authentication is granted according to the optimal communication path change and the user's telephone number is transmitted to the swap server 700 (S324).

The swap server 700 performs wireless data communication with the swap server through the received user's telephone number and the optimal communication path (S326), and the user performs wireless data communication through the optimal communication path. You will receive a variety of content services at low cost.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user presses a specific button (or second input unit) for content service through the mobile communication terminal 100, the content service is provided through an optimal communication path for reducing communication cost. Will be.

As described above, after inputting the called party's telephone number frequently called or the wireless Internet information frequently accessed by the user, pressing one specific button (one-stop: ONE-STOP) to receive desired communication service or content service. It becomes possible.

Although one preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it is clear that the present invention may use various changes, modifications, and equivalents, and may be applied in the same manner by appropriately modifying the embodiment.
