2, the transmitting and receiving method according to the present invention is a method in which an API server authenticates a mobile terminal subscribed to a service (S210), and the API server assigns a push server to the authenticated mobile terminal S220). Thereafter, the push server information allocated to the mobile terminal is transmitted (S230), and the mobile terminal is connected to the push server allocated using the received push server information (S240). Although steps S210 to S230 are performed only for the first mobile terminal 500_1, the mobile terminals 500_2, 500_3, and 500_4 performing step S240 have all performed steps S210 through S230 It is desirable to see.

Hereinafter, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 500_1 transmits push data to the mobile terminal 3 500_3.

When push data is transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 to the push server cluster 130 at step S250, the push server cluster 130 can forward the push data transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 to the mobile terminal 3 at step S260.

At this time, a push server or a push server connected to the sending mobile terminal or a push server or a mirroring server connected to the receiving mobile terminal, which are connected to the sending mobile terminal when push data is transmitted between the mobile terminals connected to the different push server 131_n or the mirroring server 133_n, And may further include a push data delivery process.

That is, when the push data is transmitted from the mobile terminal 500_1 connected to the push server 131_1 to the mobile terminal 500_3 connected to the push server 2 131_2, the push server 131_1 is inserted between steps S250 and S260, And a push data transfer step between the push server 2 and the push server 2 (131_2).

Further, the push data may include any one of a short text, a long text, an image, and a moving image.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a push data transmission method in a push data transmission / reception method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a push data reception method.

Referring to FIG. 3, the push data transmission method according to the present invention sets a received contact or a received contact group (S310). Here, a contact (eg, Ji-soo, Young-hee, etc.) means an individual number stored in the address book. A contact group (family, friend, co-worker, etc.) means a group of contacts grouped on a predetermined basis.

Thereafter, the push data theme is selected from the user (S320). The theme data for the selected theme may be stored in advance with the theme ID in the mobile terminal or the service server, or may be created by the user and used in the mobile terminal. After the theme ID corresponding to the selected theme is extracted (S330), additional data may be further input from the user (S340). Such additional data may include text or multimedia files (pictures, videos, images, etc.). In step S360, the theme message is generated using the theme selected in step S320 and the additional data input in step S340, and the created theme message is transmitted to the selected contact or contact group in step S360 in step S360.

Hereinafter, a method of receiving push data will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the receiving method according to the present invention receives the theme message transmitted in step S360 (S410). The receiving terminal then extracts the theme ID included in the theme message from the theme message (S420). The receiving terminal loads the theme data from the service server or the terminal internal data using the extracted theme ID, and the theme data is executed to show the theme message including the theme to the user (S430). As a method of displaying push data including the theme message, the screen of the receiving terminal may be displayed in the form of a notification popup window, or the details of the theme message may be checked using the notification popup window. In addition, when a detailed theme message content is confirmed, if there is an attached file in the received theme message, a notification about the attached theme message may be displayed together. At this time, the receiving terminal may further transmit an acknowledgment message confirming the theme message to the transmitting terminal (S440).

In the description of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal have been described in order to facilitate the description of the present invention, but they are separately described according to roles. That is, when a theme message is transmitted and received among a plurality of mobile terminals, the mobile terminal transmitting the theme message performs the dynamics of the transmitting terminal, and the mobile terminal receiving the theme message performs the role of the receiving terminal. Therefore, the mobile terminal can perform both the operation of transmitting the theme message and the operation of receiving using the push server, and it is possible to perform both the one-to-one (1: 1) ), It is also possible to implement a theme in each receiving terminal by using the theme message.
