6 is a detailed flowchart according to the first embodiment of step 1103 shown in FIG.

The controller 218 determines whether a part of the touch screen 211 is selected as the input area 311 (see FIG. 7A) by dragging (step 1201). In more detail, when the user selects the menu 301 (see FIG. 7A) to select an input area, and touches and drags the touch screen 211 with a touch pen (or a finger), the input area 311. ) Is selected.

In FIG. 7A, the menu 301 corresponds to a function of selecting an input area, the menu 302 corresponds to a function of inputting a picture or text into the touch screen 211, and the menu 303 corresponds to a touch screen 211. Corresponds to the function to delete the picture or text entered in). The menu 304 corresponds to a function of inputting an action stamp in the form of a flashcon on the touch screen 211, and the menu 305 displays a color of a picture or text input to the touch screen 211. Corresponds to the function you select. The menu 306 corresponds to a function of selecting a thickness of a line forming a picture or a character input to the touch screen 211. The menu 307 implicitly shows menus corresponding to additional functions. When the user selects the menu 307, menus corresponding to additional functions are displayed on the touch screen 211, so that one of the menus corresponding to the additional functions may be selected. If necessary, the number and type of menus for creating a drawing message may be variously changed.

After the input area 311 is selected, the user selects the menu 302 and drags while touching the touch screen 211 with a touch pen (or finger). As a result, as shown in FIG. 7B, a picture or text is input to the touch screen 211. The controller 218 maps a picture or a character input to the touch screen 211 into the input area 311 (see FIG. 7C) (step 1202). As a result, as shown in FIG. 7D, the touch screen 211 displays a picture or a character at a position corresponding to the input area 311.

The controller 218 converts the picture or character mapped to the input area 311 into an image layer L5 (see FIG. 9) (that is, a first image layer) (step 1203). The controller 218 stores the image layer L5 in the memory 217 included in the mobile communication terminal T1 (step 1204).

The controller 218 determines whether a picture (see FIG. 8) is input to the touch screen 211 in a state where the input area 311 is not selected (step 1205). The controller 218 converts the picture (see FIG. 8) input to the touch screen 211 into image layers L2 to L4 (see FIG. 9) (that is, the second image layer) (step 1206).

When the user draws a picture on the touch screen 211 after selecting the menu 302, the number of image layers converted by the controller 218 is determined in operation 1206 according to the number of times the touch screen 211 is touched. When the user touches the touch screen 211 with the touch pen (or finger) and then drags the touch pen (or finger) from the touch screen 211, the control unit 218 controls one image layer L2. ) Thereafter, when the user drags the touch screen 211 again with the touch pen (or finger) and then drags the touch pen (or finger) away from the touch screen 211, the controller 218 may further The image layer L3 is generated.

The control unit 218 stores the image layers L2 to L4 in the memory 219 (step 1207).

When the input area 311 is not selected and the user no longer draws a picture on the touch screen 211, when the user selects the menu 304, a screen (not shown) for selecting an action stamp is displayed on the touch screen. It is displayed at 211. The user selects an action stamp to be input on the touch screen 211 and touches a desired position of the touch screen 211. As a result, the controller 218 maps the action stamp 421 (see FIG. 8) selected by the user to the position touched by the user (step 1209).

The controller 218 converts the mapped action stamp into an image layer L6 (see FIG. 9) (that is, a third image layer) (step 1210). The controller 218 stores the image layer L6 in the memory 217 (step 1211). Thereafter, the control unit 218 determines whether the preparation of the drawing message is completed (step 1212). When the drawing message is completed, the controller 218 ends the operation of step 1103. In addition, when the preparation of the drawing message is not completed, the control unit 218 repeats the operations of steps 1201 to 1211.

For example, if a user draws a picture on the background screen 312 as shown in FIG. 8, enters a text and a picture as shown in FIG. 7D, and inputs an action stamp 421, a drawing message. DR_MSG includes a plurality of image layers L1 to L6, as shown in FIG. The plurality of image layers L2 to L6 are overlaid on the image layer L1 in the order input to the mobile communication terminal T1. When the user inputs only one of a text, a picture, and an action stamp on the touch screen 211, the drawing message DR_MSG may include only one image layer (ie, one of the first to third image layers).

Instead of the background screen corresponding to the image layer L1 of FIG. 9, the drawing message DR_MSG 'received by the mobile communication terminal T1 from the DMS server 110 (that is, the drawing message created by the additional mobile communication terminal). ) May be used as the wallpaper. For example, the user uses a drawing message 331 (see FIG. 10) received from "Alex" as a wallpaper, and a drawing message 332 in which the picture and text shown in FIG. 11 are entered on the wallpaper. You can reply to "Alex". In this case, except for the image layers L1 to L5 (see FIG. 9) of the drawing message 331 used as the background screen, the controller 218 corresponds to an image layer corresponding to a picture or text newly input by the user ( Only L11 to L20 (see FIG. 12) are transmitted to the DMS server 110. The drawing message 331 corresponding to the background screen is already stored in the mobile terminal of "Alex". Therefore, even if the mobile communication terminal of "Alex" downloads only the image layers L11 to L20 from the DMS server 110, it is possible to overlay and display all the image layers L1 to L5 and L11 to L20.

Meanwhile, at least one of the image layers L1 to L5 of the drawing message 331 used as the background screen may be modified by the user. In this case, the controller 218 transmits the modified image layer (at least one of L1 to L5) and the image layers L11 to L20 corresponding to the picture or character newly input by the user to the DMS server 110. .

13 is a detailed flowchart according to the second embodiment of step 1103 shown in FIG.

Description of the operation of the control unit 218 in step 1301 is the same as step 1201 in FIG. After the input area 321 is selected, the user inputs letters or symbols using the keyboard 322 (see FIG. 14A) built in the mobile communication terminal T1. The control unit 218 maps characters or symbols input from the keyboard 322 into the input area 321 (see FIG. 14B) (step 1302). As a result, as shown in FIG. 14C, the touch screen 211 displays a letter or a symbol at a position corresponding to the input area 321.

The controller 218 converts the character or symbol mapped to the input area 321 into an image layer L5 (see FIG. 9) (that is, a first image layer) (step 1303). The controller 218 stores the image layer L5 in the memory 217 included in the mobile communication terminal T1 (step 1304).

Description of the operation of the control unit 218 of steps 1305 to 1312 is the same as the operation of steps 1205 to 1212 of FIG.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 6 and 13, the drawing message creation program according to the present invention processes the picture, characters, or symbols drawn on the touch screen 211 by the user so that they are included in the drawing message. The user can create a drawing message very simply using only a drawing message writing program.

In contrast, the conventional multimedia message writing program can only attach a picture file to a short message without including a drawing function. Therefore, a user must use a drawing program such as Microsoft's "MS paint" to attach a picture drawn by the user to a short message.

A brief description of a conventional process of creating a multimedia message is as follows. First, a user draws a picture using a "MS paint" program of a personal computer (PC), and then saves the picture as a picture file. Thereafter, the user connects the mobile communication terminal to the PC, and downloads the corresponding picture file from the PC to the mobile communication terminal.

The user composes a short message using a multimedia message writing program of the mobile communication terminal, finds a picture file downloaded from the PC and attaches it to the short message using the file attachment function of the multimedia message writing program. If the number of picture files pre-stored in the mobile communication terminal is small, the user can easily find a desired picture file, but if the number of picture files pre-stored in the mobile communication terminal is too large, it takes a long time to find a picture file desired by the user.

19 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process according to the first embodiment of the drawing message transmission system 100 shown in FIG. 2.

The message management program 111 executed in the DMS server 110 receives the terminal information TM_IF from the at least one mobile communication terminal (one of T1 to TK) by the DMS server 110 via the mobile communication network 101. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step 2101) (see transmission (1) in FIG. 20).

When the DMS server 110 receives the terminal information TM_IF, the message management program 111 queries the DB 120 to determine whether the terminal information TM_IF is stored in the DB 120 ( Step 2102 (see inquiry (2) in FIG. 20). When the terminal information TM_IF is not stored in the DB 120, the message management program 111 stores the terminal information TM_IF in the DB 120 (step 2103) (storage 3 in FIG. 20). Reference).

Thereafter, the download management program 112 that is executed in the DMS server 110 includes a drawing message DR_MSG, in which the DMS server 110 receives a message from the mobile communication terminal (one of T1 to TK) through the mobile communication network 101, A call number list (AR_LST) including at least one called phone number, and whether or not an outgoing phone number has been received are determined (step 2104) (see transmission 1 in Fig. 22). In FIG. 22, only the destination number list AR_LST is sent from the mobile communication terminal T1 to the message management program 111. In FIG.

When the DMS server 110 receives the drawing message DR_MSG, the called number list AR_LST, and the outgoing telephone number, the download management program 112 sends status information S to one of the mobile communication terminals T1 to TK. ), And notifies the transmission completion status (step 2105) (see ACK (2) in FIG. 22).

The message management program 111 and the download management program 112 query the DB 120 for the called telephone number included in the called number list AR_LST (step 2106) (inquiry (2) and inquiry (3 in Fig. 22). )). The message management program 111 edits the called number list AR_LST based on the inquiry result of step 2106 (step 2107).

The message management program 111 transmits the edited called number list EDAR_LST to the mobile communication terminal (for example, T1) corresponding to the calling telephone number (step 2108) (see transmission 3 in Fig. 22). . For example, when the called phone number included in the called number list AR_LST is stored in the DB 120, the message managing program 111 includes a function of creating a drawing message by the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the called phone number. The destination number list AR_LST is edited to further include identification information ID_DMS, which means that the information is to be stored. In addition, when the called phone number included in the called number list AR_LST is not stored in the DB 120, the message management program 111 includes a function for creating a drawing message by the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the called phone number. The destination number list AR_LST is edited to further include identification information ID_MMS, which means not to do so.

After step 2108, the message management program 111 and the download management program 112 determine whether the called telephone number included in the called number list AR_LST is stored in the DB 120 (step 2109). When the called phone number included in the called number list AR_LST is stored in the DB 120, the message management program 111 and the download management program 112 execute a processing for transmitting the drawing message DR_MSG.
