Mobile text broadcasting providing system and method thereof. {MOVILE MESSAGE BROADCASTING SERVICE SYSTEM AND METHOD THEROF}

The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing a text broadcasting associated with information according to a region. The present invention provides a text broadcasting guidance service using a short message service to a mobile communication terminal of a region in case of a disaster situation or other region. A system and method thereof are provided.

In general, digital broadcasting refers to a broadcasting service that provides a user with high quality, high sound quality, and higher service in place of a conventional analog broadcasting, and is classified into satellite digital broadcasting and terrestrial digital broadcasting.

Satellite digital broadcasting is mainly intended for mobile services, and is a broadcast capable of watching multi-channel multimedia broadcasting anytime, anywhere through a portable receiver (mobile phone, personal digital assistant) or a vehicle receiver.

Terrestrial digital broadcasting, which is based on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), is a concept of performing multimedia broadcasting for mobile reception using the VH channel 12, which is currently empty, and using TV, radio and data broadcasting using multiple channels. Means a broadcast that transmits a combination of the two. Conventional terrestrial operators operated one analog channel, but digital broadcasters have a concept of operating multiple digital channels.

In addition, in the terrestrial digital broadcasting, three ensembles can be transmitted in one VHF (Very High Frequency) channel, and one video, two audio, and one channel of data can be provided per ensemble. It aims at free broadcasting with the use in mind.

On the other hand, in recent years, various disasters including natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, and the like often occur. When such a disaster situation occurs, a broadcasting station normally broadcasts a disaster broadcast, and users in a disaster situation occurrence area respond to various situations while watching the disaster broadcast.

However, if you are unable to watch a disaster broadcast using a TV in your home or building, or if you cannot use the TV for any other reason, or you are not aware of a disaster, you may suddenly change your weather In case of difficulty, there are many cases where the user is unable to watch broadcasts of information according to the region such as traffic information, local advertisements, logistics information, etc., in an urgent situation or because they cannot get necessary information of the region.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish an efficient broadcast guide system that can provide a service for providing a guide for broadcasting various information of the region where the terminal is located by using a mobile communication terminal, which is a necessity of modern man.

Conventionally, a broadcast guide system has been adopted to transmit a broadcast guide system to a terminal equipped with a platform application capable of receiving broadcasts of a corresponding region in a batch using CBS technology.

Hereinafter, a system for providing a local text broadcasting system using the CBS technology according to the related art will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Here, the CBS scheme refers to a service that simultaneously transmits data to all mobile communication terminals in a cell area within which a service of a mobile station is available, and transmits one message on a base station basis so that all subscribers in the base station have the same contents. You can send messages at the same time.

In the service system using the CBS method and the platform application, the server 101 manages past event related records and all subscriber information. That is, it manages the event-related records of the company, the address and contact information of all subscribers, the member number assigned to the subscriber, the date and address of receiving the free gift, etc.

When the server 101 requests the CBC to transmit a message in order to send a CBS message to subscribers stored in its database, the CBC forms a message in connection with the mobile switching network and sends the message. The exchange 104 receiving this transmits this message to the base station 105, and the base station 105 transmits the message to all subscribers in the radius that it covers. The user of the mobile communication terminal 106 receiving the message checks the corresponding message, selects whether to participate in the event, and downloads the platform application from the information system 103 to participate in the event. The mobile communication terminal 106a, 106b, 106c, 106d Install).
