First, the controller 100 of the portable terminal controls overall operation of the portable terminal. For example, processing and control for voice call and data communication are performed, and according to the present invention, the control unit 100 transmits a reservation message by using the information of the receiver as information on the time point at which the message is sent. Do it.

Accordingly, the controller 100 sets an information sharing range for each user or group in order to select the information on the time point at which the message is sent.

In addition, the controller 100 checks the information of the receiver when the reservation message is written, and processes the information to be provided at the time of transmission by identifying the information sharing range for the confirmed receiver.

In addition, when receiving a message, the controller 100 automatically composes and transmits a response message to the received message. In this case, the response message may be written as a text message indicating a response to the received message or an emoticon expressing an emotion for the received message.

The origin management unit 102 manages information on the origination time of the message created under the control of the control unit 100. The origin management unit 102 manages the information sharing range for each user or group, and provides the information sharing range for the receiver when sending a message.

The message generator 104 generates a message to be sent to the receiver under the control of the controller 100. In this case, the message generating unit 104 generates a message history that means some messages transmitted and received with the receiver based on the message input by the user and the time of message creation.

In addition, the message generator 104 generates a response message to the received message under the control of the controller 100.

The memory unit 106 includes a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a flash ROM. The ROM stores microcode and various reference data of a program for processing and controlling the control unit 100, the call managing unit 102, and the message generating unit 104.

The RAM is a working memory of the controller 100, and stores temporary data generated during execution of various programs. In addition, the flash ROM stores various updatable storage data such as a phone book, an outgoing message, and an incoming message, and includes a message history, a sentence to be included in a response message, and an emoticon according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The server control unit 122 of the message server stores the received message and processes the transmission of the message using the origination information corresponding to the origination time, and transmits the message using the origination information received according to the present invention. A list is generated and processed to transmit a message satisfying an origination condition in the message transmission list.

The transmission condition determining unit 122 determines whether a message satisfying the transmission condition exists in the message transmission list. At this time, the transmission condition determination unit 122 obtains the information updated by the user and checks whether the message transmission condition is satisfied.

The transmission list generation unit 124 generates a message transmission list using the origination information under the control of the server control unit 120. In this case, the message transmission list refers to a message classified by originating information.

The memory unit 126 stores the microcode and various reference data of the program for the operation of the message server, the communication unit 128 performs the function of communicating with the portable terminal and according to the present invention, the reservation transmission message, Send and receive message history, origination information, and response messages.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a user-specific information sharing range in a portable terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the information sharing range for each user is a sharing range of information (eg, condition, birthday, phone number, hobby, etc.) updated through a social network service including a mini homepage, a blog, and the like. The terminal may use the information updated by the user as information on the time point of the reservation message. The information sharing range may be set for each user or group. The information sharing range may be set for sharing information such as location information, contact change information, birthday information, and schedule information for a group corresponding to a family, and a birthday for a group corresponding to a friend. By setting the information sharing range such as information, it is possible to distinguish information that meets the conditions of the reservation message.

First, in step 201, the portable terminal determines whether to set a range for sharing information for each user.

If the information sharing range is not set in step 201, the portable terminal proceeds to step 213 to perform a corresponding function (eg, standby mode).

On the other hand, if the information sharing range is set in step 201, the portable terminal proceeds to step 203 to output the sharing range setting screen, and then proceeds to step 205 to receive an item to be shared on the output sharing range setting screen. Selects the sharing scope by user or group.

In step 207, the portable terminal requests information sharing in the selected sharing range. In this case, the portable terminal may request sharing range permission by providing information on the information sharing range set as the corresponding user, and the user who receives the sharing request does not grant or permit the requested range or among the ranges of the sharing request. Recipients can edit and send the range directly to send the response to the request.

In step 209, the portable terminal registers a sharing range for each user after receiving the response to the sharing request.

The portable terminal then terminates this algorithm.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting a reservation message in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the portable terminal first confirms whether to write a reservation message in step 301. Here, the reservation message refers to a message that sets the information in the information sharing range of the user as a message transmission condition and sends a message created when the transmission condition is satisfied.

If it is confirmed in step 301 that the reservation message is not written, the portable terminal proceeds to step 321 to perform a corresponding function (eg, standby mode).

On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step 301 that the reservation message is written, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 303 to output a message input screen, and then proceeds to step 305 to input a message to be transmitted.

Thereafter, the portable terminal proceeds to step 307 to confirm the receiver information, and then proceeds to step 309 to determine the sharing range for the receiver.

Thereafter, the portable terminal proceeds to step 311 to output the sharing range for the receiver, and then proceeds to step 313 to input the calling information for the receiver. In this case, the origination information for the receiver refers to information on a time point at which the created message is sent.

In step 315, the portable terminal checks whether the message is completed.

If the message is not completed in step 315, the portable terminal repeats the process of step 315.

In step 315, when the message writing is completed, the portable terminal proceeds to step 317 to create a message history. In step 319, the portable terminal transmits the created message, the origination information, and the message history to the message server. Here, the message history refers to some messages transmitted and received with the receiver based on the time of message creation, which is to remind the latest contact status with the sender by transmitting the latest message content.

For example, the portable terminal may share only basic information of a user such as a birthday with respect to a friend group member as shown in FIG. 2, and share a schedule and multimedia information being played between lovers. As shown in FIG. 2, the information sharing range can be set for each of a plurality of groups or individuals. Accordingly, when the receiver is a friend, the portable terminal outputs basic information such as the receiver's birthday to the receiver's sharing range, and the portable terminal may select the receiver's birthday as a time point at which the created message is sent.

The portable terminal then terminates this algorithm.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting a reservation message in a message server according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the message server first checks whether a message is received in step 401. Herein, the message means origination information which is information on a message history, a composing message, and a commencement time of a composing message transmitted by a sender.

If it is determined in step 401 that no message is received, the message server repeats the process of step 401.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 401 that the message is received, the message server proceeds to step 403 to store the received message, and proceeds to step 405 to create a message transmission list using the originating information. Here, the message transmission list is classified by the origination information, can be summarized as shown in Table 1 below.

Sending condition Contents Shipment time Recipient Information date Christmas 12/24 010-1111-1234
010-2222-1234 .
.
. .
.
. weather First snowy day First snowy day 010-1111-0000 .
.
. .
.
. Anniversary birthday 2011/06/12 010-1111-1111
010-2222-2222 .
.
. .
.
.

It is assumed that the message server receives a message from five senders and prepares a message transmission list as shown in Table 1. The message transmission list may include source information, contents, sending time, and recipient information. In this case, the message server classifies the sending conditions by date, weather, and anniversary, sets the order of message transmission for each condition, and ranks them. Sort recipient information according to.

For example, the message server transmits a corresponding message to a user corresponding to 010-1111-1234 and 010-2222-1234 on Christmas day. In the same way, you can send a message to the user by checking the transmission condition for the memorial. In this case, the message server may acquire information updated from each receiver in association with a server providing a novel network service.

In addition, the message server may be connected to a server providing information on the weather to periodically check the weather and check whether the message transmission conditions are satisfied. That is, the message server may check a message transmission condition such as the first snow day and transmit a message that satisfies the transmission condition.

In step 407, the message server checks the previously created transmission list to determine whether there is an outgoing message that satisfies the message origination condition. As an example, the message server may determine the existence of an outgoing message that satisfies the message origination condition by checking a message transmission time at a current time or a current weather.

If it is determined in step 407 that no message satisfying the message transmission condition exists, the message server repeats the process of step 407.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 407 that a message satisfying the message transmission condition exists, the message server proceeds to step 409 and checks whether the message is a valid reception number. The message server registers the changed telephone number when the telephone number of the user is changed, and checks whether the telephone number of the message to be transmitted is changed. This is to prevent the message transmission from failing because the telephone number of the receiver is changed after the reservation time of the reservation message.

If it is determined in step 409 that the received number is not valid, the message server proceeds to step 413 to search for a valid number for the recipient, and then proceeds to step 415 to set the found valid number as a received number. . In addition, when the reception number is not valid, the message server may transmit a message indicating that the reception number is not valid to the caller who created the reservation message.

In step 411, the message server transmits a message and a message history to the replaced reception number.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 409 that the received number is valid, the message server proceeds to step 411 and transmits a message and a message history to the received number.

The message server then terminates this algorithm.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of receiving a reservation message in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the portable terminal first checks whether a message is received in step 501.

If the message is not received in step 501, the portable terminal proceeds to step 511 to perform a corresponding function (eg, standby mode).

On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step 501 that the message is received, the mobile terminal proceeds to step 503 to output the received message, and proceeds to step 505 to check whether the automatic response function is set. Here, the automatic response function refers to a function of automatically generating a response message with respect to a received message and transmitting the generated message as a response message.

If it is determined in step 505 that the auto answer function is set, the portable terminal proceeds to step 507 and automatically creates a response message, and proceeds to step 509 and transmits the created response message to the message server. In this case, the automatically created response message is a formal reply to the received message. When the congratulatory message is received, the response message will be a message indicating thankfulness, and can be a message written in an emoticon expressing feelings for the received message. .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 505 that the automatic response function is not set, the portable terminal proceeds to step 513 to perform a response message creation process by the user, and then proceeds to step 515 to transmit the created message as a reservation message. Confirm that

If it is confirmed in step 515 that the transmission will be a reservation message, the portable terminal performs the process of step 307.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 515 that the message is not transmitted as a reservation message, the portable terminal proceeds to step 509 and transmits the prepared response message to the message server and ends the present algorithm.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of writing a response message in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the portable terminal first analyzes the content of the message received in step 601 and then proceeds to step 603 to determine the characteristics of the received message. Herein, the portable terminal checks whether a message such as a thank-you message, a congratulatory message, a greeting message, or the like has been received.

In step 605, the portable terminal selects an emoticon that matches the characteristics of the identified message, and then proceeds to step 509 of FIG. 5.

That is, the portable terminal transmits an emoticon as a response message to the received message. For example, the portable terminal may transmit an emoticon indicating an expression of appreciation for the congratulatory message to the caller.

7 is a diagram illustrating a screen for setting an information sharing range in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the portable terminal transmits information (eg, condition, birthday, phone number, hobby, etc.) of a user updated through a social network service including a mini homepage, a blog, and the like for the time point of the reservation message. Can be used as information

Accordingly, the portable terminal sets and registers an information sharing range for each user or group.

For example, the portable terminal may share only basic information of the user, such as a birthday, with a group friend member (701), and share the schedule and playing multimedia information in addition to the basic information of the user (703) among lovers. have. In addition, the portable terminal may be configured to share (705) location information, contact change information, and backed up contact information in addition to information shared between friends and lovers for family members. Of course, the final information sharing range may be set by permission of the counterpart user. That is, when the user of the portable terminal sets the information sharing range and makes a request, the counterpart user may finally or partially permit the sharing of the information of the requested sharing range.

The information sharing range as described above may be set directly by the user.

8 is a diagram illustrating a process of setting outgoing information that is a time point of a reservation message in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the portable terminal performs a message writing process.

In this case, the message may be a multimedia message, a short message, an e-mail message, or the like.

When the message is completed or the user receives an origination condition input button for setting an origination time from the user (801), the portable terminal checks the information sharing range corresponding to the receiver to determine the information sharing range. The list 803 may be output.

For this reason, the user of the portable terminal may select information to be used as a message transmission time point from the corresponding information.

For example, it is assumed that a user of the portable terminal selects a weather condition, a specific date selection, receiver information, a location condition, and an emotion condition as an information sharing range of members of a group family.

If the user of the portable terminal transmits a message written according to weather conditions, the user can select detailed weather conditions such as rainy day and first snowy day by selecting a weather condition tab.

In addition, when the user of the portable terminal transmits a message written on an anniversary date or a specific date of the receiver, the user selects a date selection tab to select an anniversary date or executes a calendar function to select a specific date for message transmission.

In addition, when the user of the portable terminal transmits a message written using the receiver's information, the user selects the receiver information tab and executes a function of sharing the receiver's birthday or the receiver's scheduler to select a date for message transmission.

In addition, when the user of the portable terminal transmits a message written using the receiver's location information, the user can select a location condition tab, and then select a recipient's moving path by performing a place or a map function frequently visited by the receiver.

In addition, when the user of the portable terminal transmits a message written according to the emotion of the receiver, the user of the portable terminal may select the emotion condition tab and then select the emotion of the user. In this case, the portable terminal may analyze the emotion of the user registered through the novel network service and output a graph of the emotion for a predetermined period.

The portable terminal can check the user's information (e.g., favorite places, schedules, favorite foods, emotions, anniversaries, etc.) updated by using a social network service. Information can be obtained.

9 is a diagram illustrating a screen for creating an automatic response message for a received message in a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, the portable terminal determines the characteristics of the received message. That is, as illustrated, when the mobile terminal receives a birthday celebration message, the portable terminal can identify the message (eg, birthday, celebration, etc.) of the received message as a celebration message.

Accordingly, the portable terminal transmits an emoticon indicating a feeling of appreciation. For example, the portable terminal may transmit a smile emoticon 901 indicating an expression of thanks for a congratulatory message to a caller. Here, the smiley emoticon indicates the meaning of thanks, and the expression "/ thank you" indicates the emotion that the emoticon means.

In this case, the portable terminal may add an additional message in addition to the output emoticon.
