Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a connection relationship between a system and a communication network according to the present invention.

The Converged Personal Network Service (CPNS) service disclosed in the present invention is a portable terminal (end terminal 300) capable of cellular communication with a mobile communication network, capable of only short-range wireless communication and serving as a personal network service (PN) gateway. By performing short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal 200 to use the data service that can be provided through the cellular communication.

The end terminal 300 is connected to the mobile communication terminal 200 through short-range wireless communication, requests the CPNS service to the CPNS server 100, and receives and executes service information returned.

When the CPNS server 100 receives a CPNS service related request including specific content transmitted from the end terminal 300 through the mobile communication terminal 200, the CPNS server 100 provides content to a content providing server (not shown) that provides the corresponding content. Request and receive the information through the mobile communication terminal 200 or extract information that can be provided by the CPNS server 100 itself such as CPNS service related information inquiry and provide the information through the mobile communication terminal 200. .

Here, the CPNS server 100 stores the specification information of the terminal terminal 300 in advance, and when the content is requested, the specification information of the terminal to execute the content is also delivered, and the content information is converted according to the corresponding specification and returned. Be sure to

If the content providing server side transfers the content original as it is to the CPNS server 100, the CPNS server 100 converts the content original to the specification of the end terminal based on the specification information of the end terminal previously stored. .

On the mobile communication terminal 200 and the terminal terminal 300, a menu indicating a plurality of items for requesting and receiving information during CPNS service is provided, and the user selects a specific key matched for each item of the menu to select the terminal. CPNS service can be performed on the network. Here, the specific key is in the form of a keypad provided in the terminal, a form displayed on the touch screen, or a form mounted as a separate key, which can be modified according to the needs of the operator.

Meanwhile, in the case of the mobile communication terminal 200, the plurality of items include a CPNS connection request, service history information view, content information view for content request, content transfer request, current service / connection inquiry, and current service. / Stop connection / disconnection, Mobile CPNS-related firmware (Firmware Upgrade), Select destination of specific service, CPNS-related billing history inquiry, CPNS function On / Off, End terminal information view to be.

In addition, in the case of the terminal 300, a plurality of items request for CPNS connection, view service history information, view content information for content request, request for content transmission, service / connection inquiries currently in progress, service in progress / This item is used to stop / release connection, upgrade CPNS related firmware of end terminal, select mobile terminal that can be connected, and view mobile terminal information.

For example, when a content information view item for content request is selected on the mobile communication terminal 200, the mobile communication terminal 200 requests and receives a content list from the CPNS server 100 and outputs it on the screen. Or output a pre-stored content list.

In addition, when an item for requesting CPNS connection is selected on the end terminal 300, the end terminal 300 transmits information including its ID and authentication information to the mobile terminal 200, and then performs mobile communication after the authentication procedure. A connection procedure is performed to receive a service from the CPNS server 100 through short-range wireless communication with the terminal 200.

The terminal 300 disclosed in FIG. 1 refers to a portable terminal having a short range wireless communication function, such as a personal multimedia player (PMP), an MP3 player, a car navigation terminal, a mobile phone, a game machine, and the like.

Subsequently, the end terminal 300 requests a service from the mobile communication terminal 200 found in step S10. Here, the end terminal also transmits CPNS capable information (S20).

Thereafter, when the mobile communication terminal 200 receives the service request transmitted to the end terminal, the mobile communication terminal 200 checks whether the end terminal is capable of CPNS service (S30).

As a result of checking in step S30, when the CPNS service of the end terminal is available, the mobile communication terminal 200 transmits an authentication message indicating that the CPNS service is available to the end terminal 300 (S40).

When the terminal 300 receives the authentication message that the CPNS service is available from the mobile communication terminal, and transmits its ID (S50).

The mobile communication terminal 200 checks whether the format of the ID transmitted from the terminal 300 matches the ID format issued by CPNS, and if the format matches, the service is transmitted to the terminal 300. The authentication message is transmitted (S60, S70).

Thereafter, the mobile communication terminal 200 transmits the authentication information and the ID of itself and the end terminal 300 to the CPNS server 100 (S80).

The CPNS server 100 checks the authentication information and the ID transmitted from the mobile communication terminal, and determines whether the CPNS service is available (S90).

If the service is available to both the mobile terminal and the end terminal, the CPNS server 100 notifies this to the end terminal so as to perform a CPNS service including a content request afterwards (S100).

If any one of the mobile communication terminal and the terminal terminal is not available, the CPNS server 100 notifies this to the terminal terminal and terminates the service.

On the other hand, when the CPNS service of the terminal terminal is impossible as a result of checking in step S30, the mobile communication terminal 200 transmits a message that the service is not available to the terminal terminal 300, and terminates the service.

On the other hand, if the ID format of the terminal does not match, as a result of checking in step S60, the mobile communication terminal 200 transmits a message indicating that the service is unavailable to the terminal, and then terminates the service.
