可控制訊息系統之訊息傳送器Message transmitter for controllable messaging system

本發明係有關電信訊息服務,尤係有關訊息服務系統中之行動電話。更具體而言,本發明係有關對以行動電話傳送及接收訊息之控制。The present invention relates to telecommunications messaging services, and more particularly to mobile telephones in relation to messaging services. More specifically, the present invention relates to the control of transmitting and receiving messages by mobile telephone.

目前已廣泛部署了諸如簡訊服務(Short Message Service;簡稱SMS)、多媒體訊息服務(Multimedia Message Service;簡稱MMS)等的訊息服務。MMS是一種行動電話的加值功能服務。與SMS比較時,MMS使在各行動電話之間傳送的訊息不再只限於簡短的文字。該訊息而是可包含諸如文字、圖片、影音、及聲音等豐富的多媒體資訊。MMS的廣泛應用愈來愈要求個人化及彈性訊息服務的提供。對個人化及彈性的需求不只是在訊息的接收者端上被要求,而且也逐漸在傳送者端上被要求。傳送者涉及對在接收者端上傳送的訊息之控制及操縱是此種個人化的一實施例。然而,先前技術的訊息服務中之個人化無法讓人滿意。Information services such as Short Message Service (SMS) and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) have been widely deployed. MMS is a value-added service for mobile phones. When compared to SMS, MMS makes the messages transmitted between mobile phones no longer limited to short text. The message can contain rich multimedia information such as text, pictures, audio and video, and sound. The widespread use of MMS is increasingly requiring the provision of personalized and flexible messaging services. The need for personalization and resiliency is not only required on the recipient side of the message, but is also being asked on the sender side. The fact that the transmitter involves the control and manipulation of messages transmitted on the recipient side is an embodiment of such personalization. However, the personalization of prior art messaging services is not satisfactory.

例如,目前係在接收者端預先設定訊息通知模式。有某些種類的訊息軟體(訊息代理人軟體)甚至容許預先設定對應於特定傳送者的諸如特殊鈴聲或音量等之訊息通知模式。然而,這些解決方案是靜態的或對傳送者是無法變更的,因而不具有可符合傳送者要求的彈性。例如,假設一傳送者想要將一緊急訊息傳送到一目標行動電話。此時,該目標行動電話的通知模式可能已被訊息接收者預先設定為"靜音"。為了以良好的效果通知該接收者,該傳送者想要以一大聲的鈴聲模式取代該行動電話上任何原來的通知模式。但是現有的機制並不支援該功能。For example, the message notification mode is currently set on the receiver side. There are certain kinds of message software (message agent software) that even allow a message notification mode such as a special ringtone or volume corresponding to a particular transmitter to be preset. However, these solutions are static or unchangeable to the sender and therefore do not have the flexibility to meet the requirements of the transmitter. For example, suppose a sender wants to send an emergency message to a target mobile phone. At this time, the notification mode of the target mobile phone may have been previously set to "mute" by the message recipient. In order to inform the recipient with good results, the sender wants to replace any of the original notification modes on the mobile phone with a loud ring pattern. However, the existing mechanism does not support this feature.

設定行動電話訊息通知模式的現有方式之靜態本質及無彈性也反映在下列現象:接收者只能自其行動電話的現有的通知模式中選擇一通知模式。接收者最多只能以下載鈴聲之方式擴充現有的通知模式。然而,接收者的行動電話既不容許傳送者指定的鈴聲,也不容許將特定的鈴聲傳送到接收者的行動電話。對於訊息傳送者而言,缺少以一種個人化的方式將訊息傳送到目標接收者的選項。The static nature and inelasticity of the existing way of setting the mobile phone message notification mode is also reflected in the fact that the recipient can only select a notification mode from the existing notification mode of his mobile phone. The recipient can only augment the existing notification mode by downloading the ringtone at most. However, the recipient's mobile phone neither allows the transmitter to specify the ringtone nor allows the transmission of a particular ringtone to the recipient's mobile phone. For message senders, there is no option to deliver the message to the intended recipient in a personalized way.

因此,目前存在的一種需求為:訊息傳送者可以一種端對端之方式立即改變一目標行動電話接收其訊息的通知模式。Therefore, there is currently a need for a message sender to immediately change the notification mode in which a target mobile phone receives its message in an end-to-end manner.

在接收者管理訊息的方面,現有的訊息服務並不提供彈性化到足以讓接收者端對所接收訊息的管理涉及傳送者的個人化服務。例如,目前在行動電話上接收的訊息是被儲存在訊息收件箱中。接收者的行動電話並無可自動自收件箱刪除某些訊息的機制,這是傳送者有時所不希望的。例如,傳送者可能想要限制所傳送的一訊息將被儲存在收件箱的持續時間。傳送者可能想要限制所傳送的一訊息將被閱讀的次數,其限制的方式為達到該次數之後刪除該訊息。因此,目前存在有傳送者可控制訊息的存檔之一需求。In terms of recipient management messages, existing messaging services do not provide a personalized service that is flexible enough for the recipient to manage the received message involving the sender. For example, messages currently received on mobile phones are stored in the message inbox. The recipient's mobile phone does not have a mechanism to automatically delete certain messages from the inbox, which is sometimes undesirable for the sender. For example, the sender may want to limit the duration that a transmitted message will be stored in the inbox. The sender may want to limit the number of times a message being transmitted will be read, in such a way that the message is deleted after the number of times has been reached. Therefore, there is currently a need for an archive of transmitter-controllable messages.

此外,通常假定回覆一原始訊息的一訊息之接收者是該原始訊息的傳送者。在某情況中,原始訊息的傳送者可能希望一第三方是回覆該原始訊息的訊息之接收者。例如,代表另一人傳送一訊息的某人可能希望對該訊息的回覆將被直接傳送到該另一人。此外,接收者可能在接收到一訊息之後,轉送該訊息。有時,一傳送者可能期待接收者只將所接收的訊息轉送給一特定群的人。然而,現有的訊息服務並不提供由一訊息的傳送者選擇性地限制該訊息可被轉送的目標或對該訊息的回覆的預期接收者之功能。In addition, it is generally assumed that the recipient of a message replying to an original message is the sender of the original message. In some cases, the sender of the original message may wish a third party to be the recipient of the message replying to the original message. For example, someone who transmits a message on behalf of another person may wish that a reply to the message will be transmitted directly to the other person. In addition, the recipient may forward the message after receiving a message. Sometimes, a sender may expect the recipient to forward only the received message to a particular group of people. However, existing messaging services do not provide the functionality of a recipient of a message to selectively limit the destination to which the message can be forwarded or the intended recipient of the reply to the message.

為了解決前文所述的問題,本發明之一目的為行動電話的訊息傳送者可以一種端對端之方式參與控制接收者行動電話上的訊息行為。In order to solve the problems described above, it is an object of the present invention that a message transmitter of a mobile phone can participate in controlling the behavior of a message on a recipient's mobile phone in an end-to-end manner.

若參閱下文中對實施例之詳細說明,並配合各附圖,將可了解本發明的上述及其他目的、特徵、及效果。The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become <RTIgt;

圖1是根據本發明的行動電話傳送及接收訊息的一般程序之一示意圖。如圖1所示,傳送者首先操作一行動電話S,輸入訊息M,然後將該訊息經由一傳輸系統T而傳送到一目標行動電話R。接收的使用者在接收到通知之後,可以一種傳統的方式在行動電話R的螢幕上顯示表示部分(10)。於先前技術不同,本發明的行動電話S額外地容許傳送者將控制資料包含在訊息M中。換言之,接收者的行動電話所接收之訊息包含傳統的表示部分(10),但也包含一控制部分(20)。當該訊息到達接收者的行動電話R之後,該控制部分(20)被用來指定該行動電話R將如何動作以及將如何操縱所接收的表示部分(10)。接收者的行動電話R將根據控制部分(20)的規格而操作。例如,如果控制部分(20)包含一要求以一種特定方式將該訊息的到達通知該接收者之控制命令(201),則該接收者的行動電話在接收到該訊息之後,將以該控制命令(201)所指定的方式發出通知。在表示部分(10)顯示在行動電話的螢幕之後,亦可由其他類型的控制命令(201)控制後續的作業。BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of one of the general procedures for transmitting and receiving messages in a mobile telephone in accordance with the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the transmitter first operates a mobile phone S, inputs a message M, and then transmits the message to a target mobile phone R via a transmission system T. The receiving user can display the presentation portion (10) on the screen of the mobile phone R in a conventional manner after receiving the notification. Unlike the prior art, the mobile phone S of the present invention additionally allows the transmitter to include control data in the message M. In other words, the message received by the recipient's mobile phone contains a conventional presentation portion (10), but also includes a control portion (20). After the message arrives at the recipient's mobile phone R, the control portion (20) is used to specify how the mobile phone R will behave and how the received presentation portion (10) will be manipulated. The recipient's mobile phone R will operate according to the specifications of the control section (20). For example, if the control portion (20) includes a control command (201) requesting notification of the arrival of the message in a particular manner, the recipient's mobile phone will use the control command after receiving the message. (201) Issue a notice in the manner specified. After the presentation portion (10) is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, subsequent operations can also be controlled by other types of control commands (201).

圖2示出根據本發明而傳送及接收的訊息的結構之一示意圖。根據本發明,將自傳送者的行動電話傳送的訊息M包含兩部分:一表示部分(10)及一控制部分(20)。該表示部分(10)實際上意指先前技術中之所謂訊息,亦即,傳送者最終想要在接收者的行動電話R上顯示的訊息,其中包括先前技術中習知的文字、圖片、視訊影像、及聲音等的訊息。Figure 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a message transmitted and received in accordance with the present invention. According to the invention, the message M transmitted from the sender's mobile telephone comprises two parts: a representation part (10) and a control part (20). The representation portion (10) actually means a so-called message in the prior art, that is, a message that the transmitter ultimately wants to display on the recipient's mobile phone R, including text, pictures, and video as known in the prior art. Information such as images, sounds, etc.

根據本發明,控制部分(20)是傳送者為控制接收者的行動電話R而作出的規格。此類規格可包含:對接收者的行動電話R將如何把訊息M的到達通知接收者之指示、及(或)將如何操縱表示部分(10)(例如,將如何轉送、存檔、或回覆表示部分(10))之指示。控制部分(20)包含一個或多個控制命令(201)、以及與個別的一個或多個控制命令相關聯之一個或多個控制參數。傳送者可以各種方式在行動電話R上指定控制部分(20)。According to the invention, the control portion (20) is a specification made by the transmitter for controlling the recipient's mobile phone R. Such specifications may include an indication of how the recipient's mobile phone R will notify the recipient of the arrival of the message M, and/or how the presentation portion (10) will be manipulated (eg, how the transfer, archive, or reply will be indicated) Part (10)) instructions. The control portion (20) includes one or more control commands (201) and one or more control parameters associated with the respective one or more control commands. The transmitter can specify the control portion (20) on the mobile phone R in various ways.

一旦使用者完成了輸入且發出了傳送命令之後,控制部分(20)及表示部分(10)將被封裝到一訊息M,且訊息M將經由傳輸系統T而被傳送到目標接收者的行動電話R。Once the user has completed the input and issued the transfer command, the control portion (20) and the presentation portion (10) will be packaged into a message M, and the message M will be transmitted to the target recipient's mobile phone via the transmission system T. R.

當該訊息M被傳送到接收者的行動電話R時,該訊息M將被分割成兩部分:表示部分(10)及控制部分(20)。如前文所述,行動電話R可以一種傳統的方式在螢幕上顯示表示部分(10)。When the message M is transmitted to the recipient's mobile phone R, the message M will be divided into two parts: the representation part (10) and the control part (20). As described above, the mobile phone R can display the display portion (10) on the screen in a conventional manner.

如前文所述,控制部分(20)包含一個或多個控制命令(201)及或有的一個或多個控制參數(202),接收者的行動電話R使用這些控制命令及或有的控制參數執行對應的作業,以便實現傳送者對行動電話R之預期控制、及(或)對表示部分(10)的操縱之後續控制。下文中將參照圖4而對接收者的行動電話R上的作業作進一步的說明。As previously described, the control portion (20) includes one or more control commands (201) and/or one or more control parameters (202) that the recipient's mobile phone R uses and/or control parameters. The corresponding job is executed to achieve the transmitter's expected control of the mobile phone R, and/or subsequent control of the manipulation of the presentation portion (10). The operation on the recipient's mobile phone R will be further described below with reference to FIG.

現在請參閱圖3,圖3示出根據本發明的一行動電話S的一較佳實施例之一結構方塊圖。一傳統的行動電話包含處理器P、儲存裝置S、諸如顯示器及鍵盤等的I/O裝置、用來與外部網路通訊的傳送裝置。上述的結構組件及其功能為先前技術中所習知,因而將不對這些結構組件及其功能的細節作進一步之說明。Referring now to Figure 3, there is shown a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of a mobile telephone S in accordance with the present invention. A conventional mobile phone includes a processor P, a storage device S, an I/O device such as a display and a keyboard, and a transmitting device for communicating with an external network. The structural components described above and their functions are well known in the prior art, and thus the details of these structural components and their functions will not be further described.

根據本發明,行動電話S或可包含一使用者介面(User Interface;簡稱UI)產生器(301)。此外,該行動電話S可包含表示部分產生器(302)、一控制命令產生器(303)、以及一封裝單元(304)。According to the present invention, the mobile phone S may further include a User Interface (UI) generator (301). Further, the mobile phone S may include a representation part generator (302), a control command generator (303), and a package unit (304).

使用者介面產生器(301)的功能是在螢幕上顯示一使用者介面(UI)。UI的一種功能是讓訊息傳送者指定所要傳送的訊息。傳統的行動電話也提供類似的UI,以供使用者諸如輸入及編輯訊息。然而,該訊息等同於圖1中之表示部分(10),只是可供該訊息的接收者瀏覽及處理,但並不包含可控制接收者對所接收訊息的處理之任何資訊。The function of the user interface generator (301) is to display a user interface (UI) on the screen. One function of the UI is for the message sender to specify the message to be transmitted. Traditional mobile phones also provide a similar UI for users to enter and edit messages, for example. However, the message is equivalent to the representation portion (10) of Figure 1, but is available for the recipient of the message to view and process, but does not include any information that can control the recipient's processing of the received message.

根據本發明的UI產生器(301)可在行動電話S上產生兩類的UI。The UI generator (301) according to the present invention can generate two types of UIs on the mobile phone S.

也被稱為第一子介面的第一類UI被使用者用來輸入表示部分(10)。該UI的格式、內容、及作業程序與先前技術大致相同,因而將不在本說明書中說明。The first type of UI, also referred to as the first sub-interface, is used by the user to input the representation portion (10). The format, content, and operating procedures of the UI are substantially the same as in the prior art, and thus will not be described in this specification.

也被稱為第二子介面的第二類UI被使用者用來輸入與表示部分(10)相關聯的控制部分(20)。A second type of UI, also referred to as a second sub-interface, is used by the user to input a control portion (20) associated with the presentation portion (10).

根據一實施例,在該第一類UI中,可提供一選項,以供使用者選擇是否要"輸入控制資料",例如,可在螢幕上顯示一代表選項"輸入控制資料"的按鈕。例如,在完成輸入及編輯表示部分(10)之後,如果使用者按壓按鈕"輸入控制資料"而作出一選擇,則該UI產生器將產生該第二類UI。然後使用者可視需要而使用該第二類UI描述或輸入與該表示部分相關聯的控制部分(20),其中該控制部分(20)包含一個或多個控制命令(201)及一個或多個控制參數(202)。例如,在螢幕上顯示一選單,以供使用者自該選單上列出的控制命令(201)中作出選擇。如果一控制命令需要一個或多個控制參數(202),則可額外地顯示一對應的參數選單,以供使用者選擇參數(202)。可設定每一參數的一系統預設值,或者可提供一輸入欄位,以供使用者輸入其他的參數值。According to an embodiment, in the first type of UI, an option may be provided for the user to select whether to "enter control data", for example, a button representing the option "input control data" may be displayed on the screen. For example, after completing the input and editing of the representation portion (10), if the user presses the button "input control profile" to make a selection, the UI generator will generate the second type of UI. The user then uses the second type of UI description or input control portion (20) associated with the representation portion as needed, wherein the control portion (20) includes one or more control commands (201) and one or more Control parameters (202). For example, a menu is displayed on the screen for the user to make a selection from the control commands (201) listed on the menu. If a control command requires one or more control parameters (202), a corresponding parameter menu may be additionally displayed for the user to select the parameter (202). A system preset value for each parameter can be set, or an input field can be provided for the user to input other parameter values.

熟悉此項技術者將可易於了解:該第一子介面可包含一螢幕,或可包含數個連續顯示的螢幕。同樣地,該第二子介面可包含一螢幕,或可包含數個連續顯示的螢幕。且視具體的情況而定,該第一及第二子介面可在一個相同的螢幕中,或者可在不同的螢幕中。此外,實際上,無須限制該第一子介面及該第二子介面被顯示的順序。Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the first sub-interface can include a screen or can include several consecutively displayed screens. Similarly, the second sub-interface can include a screen or can include several consecutively displayed screens. And depending on the specific situation, the first and second sub-interfaces may be in one and the same screen, or may be in different screens. In addition, in practice, there is no need to limit the order in which the first sub-interface and the second sub-interface are displayed.

訊息表示部分產生器(302)自該UI接收使用者所輸入的表示部分(10),並將該表示部分(10)轉換為一格式。該格式可顯露該部分是最後要向接收者顯示的訊息內容。所要採用的格式可取決於實際的實施例,例如,取決於所採用的描述語言。就這一點而言,先前技術中已有現成的例子,因而本說明書將不提供詳細說明。在本發明的一實施例中,該表示部分被轉換為MIME格式的內容。The message presentation portion generator (302) receives the representation portion (10) input by the user from the UI and converts the representation portion (10) into a format. This format reveals that this part is the last message content to be displayed to the recipient. The format to be employed may depend on the actual embodiment, for example, depending on the description language employed. In this regard, there are ready-made examples in the prior art, and thus no detailed description will be provided in this specification. In an embodiment of the invention, the representation portion is converted to content in MIME format.

控制命令產生器(303)自該UI接收使用者所輸入的控制部分(20)。如前文所述,控制部分(20)是使用者為了控制接收者的行動電話而作出的規格,且係將該規格用來指示接收者的行動電話R將如何把被傳輸訊息的到達通知接收者,或用來指示將如何操縱表示部分(10),例如,將如何轉送、存檔、或回覆表示部分(10)。控制命令產生器(303)將控制部分(20)分割成若干控制命令(201)及若干控制參數(202),並建立各控制命令(201)與各別控制參數(202)間之關聯性。控制命令產生器(303)亦可建立各控制命令(201)與該表示部分間之關聯性。例如,可將一各別的標籤附加在每一控制命令(201)及其相關聯的控制參數,且可以一獨立項目之方式將每一控制命令(201)及其相關聯的控制參數儲存在一控制命令文件中。根據本發明的一實施例,將MIME格式用來代表訊息時,該控制命令檔案是一文件區段。下文中將參照圖5而說明本實施例。The control command generator (303) receives the control portion (20) input by the user from the UI. As described above, the control portion (20) is a specification made by the user to control the recipient's mobile phone, and is used to indicate to the recipient that the mobile phone R will notify the recipient of the arrival of the transmitted message. Or to indicate how the representation portion (10) will be manipulated, for example, how the portion (10) will be forwarded, archived, or replied. The control command generator (303) divides the control portion (20) into a plurality of control commands (201) and a plurality of control parameters (202), and establishes an association between each control command (201) and the respective control parameters (202). The control command generator (303) may also establish an association between each control command (201) and the representation portion. For example, a separate tag can be attached to each control command (201) and its associated control parameters, and each control command (201) and its associated control parameters can be stored in a separate project. A control command file. According to an embodiment of the invention, when the MIME format is used to represent a message, the control command file is a file section. The present embodiment will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 5.

封裝單元(304)接收在訊息表示部分產生器(302)中產生的格式化後之表示部分(10)、以及在控制命令產生器(303)中產生的格式化後之控制部分(20)(例如,控制命令文件),然後將該等部分封裝成一完整訊息。更具體而言,係以多種可能格式中之一格式將控制部分(20)插入一文件中。亦可插入可識別的控制部分(20),並建立表示部分(10)與控制部分(20)間之關聯性。根據本發明的一實施例,包含此種完整訊息的文件之形式是一MIME文件。The encapsulating unit (304) receives the formatted representation portion (10) generated in the message presentation portion generator (302) and the formatted control portion (20) generated in the control command generator (303) ( For example, control the command file) and then package the parts into a complete message. More specifically, the control portion (20) is inserted into a file in one of a plurality of possible formats. It is also possible to insert an identifiable control portion (20) and establish an association between the representation portion (10) and the control portion (20). According to an embodiment of the invention, the form of the file containing such a complete message is a MIME file.

傳送裝置(305)將把該被封裝的文件傳送到一外部訊息傳輸系統T,該外部訊息傳輸系統T又將該文件傳輸到目標行動電話R。該傳輸程序可符合諸如訊息交易規格。The transmitting device (305) will transfer the packaged file to an external message transmission system T, which in turn transmits the file to the target mobile phone R. The transfer program can conform to specifications such as message transactions.

經由前文中之說明,熟悉此項技術者顯然將可了解:可以硬體、軟體、或以上兩者的一組合之形式實施根據本發明的行動電話S之使用者介面(UI)產生器(301)、表示部分產生器(302)、控制命令產生器(303)、及封裝單元(304)。將以改良現有的MMS使用者代理人軟體之方式實現一解決方案實施例。Through the foregoing description, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the user interface (UI) generator (301) of the mobile phone S according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of the two. ), a partial generator (302), a control command generator (303), and a packaging unit (304). A solution embodiment will be implemented in a manner that improves existing MMS user agent software.

現在請參閱圖4,圖中示出根據本發明的一行動電話R的另一實施例之一方塊圖。可將行動電話R用來接收根據本發明的訊息。如圖4所示,該行動電話R也包含一傳統的微處理器、儲存裝置、諸如顯示螢幕、鍵盤、及蜂鳴器等的若干I/O裝置、用來與外部網路通訊之一接收裝置(405)、以及向行動電話的使用者顯示訊息之顯示單元(404)。Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown a block diagram of another embodiment of a mobile telephone R in accordance with the present invention. The mobile phone R can be used to receive messages in accordance with the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile phone R also includes a conventional microprocessor, storage device, and a number of I/O devices such as a display screen, a keyboard, and a buzzer for receiving one of the external network communications. The device (405) and a display unit (404) that displays a message to a user of the mobile phone.

此外,該行動電話R或可包含一執行裝置(401),用以根據一系統預先設定的組態而發出諸如振動或鈴聲等的一通知。該執行裝置亦可與使用者互動,並執行諸如儲存、轉送、及回覆訊息等的功能。在實際的實施例中,可將該執行裝置實施為一硬體實體或一軟體實體。In addition, the mobile phone R may include an executing device (401) for issuing a notification such as vibration or ringing according to a preset configuration of a system. The execution device can also interact with the user and perform functions such as storing, forwarding, and replying to messages. In a practical embodiment, the actuator can be implemented as a hardware entity or a software entity.

根據本發明的行動電話R又可包含一訊息分解裝置(402),用以將所接收之訊息分解為一表示部分(10)及一控制部分(20)。控制部分(20)描述將如何在行動電話上控制及管理所接收之訊息。The mobile phone R according to the present invention may further comprise a message decomposition device (402) for decomposing the received message into a representation portion (10) and a control portion (20). The control section (20) describes how the received message will be controlled and managed on the mobile phone.

根據本發明的行動電話係以下文所述之方式操作。當接收裝置(405)諸如根據訊息交易規格而接收到自另一行動電話經由該訊息傳輸系統傳送的一訊息時,該訊息被傳送到分解裝置(402)。分解裝置(402)區分該被輸入訊息中之控制部分(20)及表示部分(10),並分別地擷取這些部分。如熟悉此項技術者所習知的,擷取控制部分(20)及表示部分(10)的方式係取決於該訊息的格式之定義。根據一實施例,可以與產生器(302)及(303)所執行作業方式相反的一種方式執行之作業實現該擷取。下文中將參照圖5所示之一訊息格式而進一步說明該擷取的原理。The mobile telephone in accordance with the present invention operates in the manner described below. When the receiving device (405) receives a message transmitted from another mobile phone via the messaging system, such as in accordance with a message transaction specification, the message is transmitted to the resolution device (402). The decomposing means (402) distinguishes between the control portion (20) and the representation portion (10) in the input message, and separately extracts the portions. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the manner in which the control portion (20) and the representation portion (10) are retrieved depends on the definition of the format of the message. According to an embodiment, the capture can be performed in a manner that is performed in a manner opposite to the manner in which the generators (302) and (303) perform the work. The principle of the capture will be further explained below with reference to one of the message formats shown in FIG.

被擷取的表示部分(10)被儲存或被直接傳送到訊息顯示單元(404),而訊息顯示單元(404)將根據在表示部分(10)中描述的資料而產生使用者可讀取的資訊,以便在接收端的顯示螢幕上顯示。可以先前技術的任何訊息顯示方法實施顯示單元(404),因而本說明書中將不詳細說明顯示單元(404)。根據本發明的一實施例,表示部分(10)可包含訊息佈局描述及相關的訊息資料。The captured representation portion (10) is stored or transmitted directly to the message display unit (404), and the message display unit (404) will be readable by the user based on the information described in the representation portion (10). Information for display on the display screen of the receiving end. The display unit (404) may be implemented by any of the prior art display methods, and thus the display unit (404) will not be described in detail in this specification. According to an embodiment of the invention, the presentation portion (10) may include a message layout description and associated message material.

所擷取的控制部分(20)被傳送到執行裝置(401),而執行裝置(401)可呼叫或執行下列功能:訊息通知、訊息存檔、及使用者行動。The captured control portion (20) is transmitted to the executing device (401), and the executing device (401) can call or perform the following functions: message notification, message archiving, and user action.

如大家所習知的,目前係由行動電話R預先設定訊息通知模式。例如,訊息通知模式可以是鈴聲或振動。某些訊息軟體(訊息代理人軟體)甚至可容許行動電話R預先設定對應於特定個人的訊息通知模式。例如,來自不同人的訊息可具有對應的不同鈴聲。但是這些訊息通知模式是被預先設定的。訊息的傳送者無法控制該組態設定。例如,如果一接收者的行動電話之訊息通知模式被預先設定為靜音,則除非該訊息通知模式被改變,否則該模式將保持不變。As is well known, the message notification mode is currently set by the mobile phone R. For example, the message notification mode can be ringing or vibrating. Some messaging software (message agent software) may even allow the mobile phone R to pre-set a message notification mode corresponding to a particular individual. For example, messages from different people may have corresponding different ring tones. However, these message notification modes are preset. The sender of the message cannot control this configuration setting. For example, if the message notification mode of a recipient's mobile phone is pre-set to mute, the mode will remain unchanged unless the message notification mode is changed.

根據本發明,訊息傳送者可利用訊息的控制部分(20)指定一取代的通知模式。"取代的通知模式"意指:不論原來預先設定的訊息通知模式為何,都將以訊息傳送者所指定的方式在行動電話R上通知接收者。In accordance with the present invention, the message sender can utilize the control portion (20) of the message to specify a replacement notification mode. The "replaced notification mode" means that the recipient will be notified on the mobile phone R in the manner specified by the message sender regardless of the original predetermined message notification mode.

根據本發明的一實施例而使用MIME格式的控制部分(20)可包含下文所示之格式作為通知要求描述:<Message Notification> <Vibration Mode status=”on”/> <Ringtone Mode volume=”maximum”> <Ringtone Data> 1388@217403RingtoneData </Ringtone Data> </Ringtone Mode> </Message Notification>The control portion (20) using the MIME format according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the format shown below as a notification request description: <Message Notification> <Vibration Mode status=”on”/> <Ringtone Mode volume=”maximum "> <Ringtone Data> 1388@217403RingtoneData </Ringtone Data> </Ringtone Mode> </Message Notification>

上述之通知要求描述示出:傳送者要求以一取代的通知模式通知接收者;更具體而言,以最大音量的鈴聲再加上振動通知接收者。係以"1388@217403RingtoneData"識別該鈴聲的內容。行動電話R的執行裝置(401)根據其中包含分解裝置(402)所分解的上述通知要求描述之控制部分(20)而執行作業,使行動電話R振動,並以最大音量發出內容係由"1388@217403RingtoneData"指定的鈴聲。此時,執行裝置(401)不理會該行動電話的預先設定之諸如"靜音"等的訊息通知模式。The above notification requirement description shows that the sender requests to notify the recipient in a superseded notification mode; more specifically, the recipient is notified with a ringtone of maximum volume plus vibration. The content of the ringtone is identified by "1388@217403RingtoneData". The executing device (401) of the mobile phone R performs an operation according to the control portion (20) described in the above-mentioned notification request decomposed by the disassembling device (402), vibrates the mobile phone R, and issues the content at the maximum volume by "1388". @217403RingtoneData" specified ringtone. At this time, the executing device (401) ignores the pre-set message notification mode such as "mute" of the mobile phone.

訊息存檔是一種可由執行裝置(401)執行的功能。先前技術的執行裝置(401)將把行動電話R所接收的行動電話儲存在訊息收件箱,但將不選擇性地及自動地刪除任何訊息。根據本發明,如果傳送者於除送其訊息時在控制部分(20)中指定一"自動刪除"命令(201),且亦將該命令的相關聯之參數(202)設定為"3天",則執行裝置(401)可檢查表示部分(10)的時戳,而在自接收到該訊息算起的3天到期時,自收件箱自動刪除表示部分(10)。此外,傳送者可能想要限制所傳送的一訊息將被閱讀的次數;換言之,一旦達到該次數之後,該訊息將被刪除。傳送者可在控制部分中指定適當的命令及參數。執行裝置(401)可根據該命令而為相關聯的表示部分(10)設定一計數器。每當該表示部分(10)被閱讀時,即將該計數器遞增一。一旦到達了該參數所指定的次數之後,執行裝置(401)將自動刪除該相關聯的訊息。在此種方式下,可實現傳送者可控制的訊息存檔。The message archive is a function that can be executed by the execution device (401). The prior art execution device (401) will store the mobile phone received by the mobile phone R in the message inbox, but will not selectively and automatically delete any message. According to the present invention, if the sender specifies an "auto delete" command (201) in the control portion (20) in addition to sending the message, and also sets the associated parameter (202) of the command to "3 days". Then, the executing device (401) can check the time stamp indicating the portion (10), and the representation portion (10) is automatically deleted from the inbox when the three days from the receipt of the message expires. In addition, the sender may want to limit the number of times a transmitted message will be read; in other words, once the number of times is reached, the message will be deleted. The sender can specify the appropriate commands and parameters in the control section. The executing device (401) can set a counter for the associated presentation portion (10) according to the command. Whenever the representation portion (10) is read, the counter is incremented by one. Once the number of times specified by the parameter has been reached, the executing device (401) will automatically delete the associated message. In this way, a message-controllable message archive can be implemented.

使用者行動意指使用者在表示部分(10)被顯示之後於行動電話R上開始執行的後續作業。通常在表示部分(10)被顯示之後,先前技術的執行裝置(401)將提示或容許使用者對所顯示的訊息執行進一步之作業,例如,儲存、刪除、回覆及轉送。根據本發明,傳送者可要求使用者行動的實行要遵循傳送者規定的規則。例如,原始訊息的傳送者有時可能希望一第三方將是回覆該原始訊息的訊息之接收者。尤其當代表另一人傳送一原始訊息時,傳送者可能希望接收者將對該訊息的任何回覆直接傳送到該另一人。為達到此一目的,傳送者可在該訊息的控制部分中指定回覆將被傳送的位址(亦即,電話號碼)。如果在接收到該訊息之後,接收者在行動電話R上開始進行一"回覆"作業,則執行該作業的執行裝置(401)將檢查該訊息的一組控制命令中是否指定了一回覆的位址。如果確係如此,則執行裝置(401)將把所指定的位址設定為目前回覆作業的位址。同樣地,傳送者也可指定該訊息可被轉送的一系列位址(電話號碼)。如果接收者開始進行一"轉送"作業,則執行裝置(401)將把該系列位址自動設定為目前轉送作業的目標位址。The user action means a subsequent job that the user starts executing on the mobile phone R after the presentation portion (10) is displayed. Typically, prior to the display portion (10) being displayed, the prior art execution device (401) will prompt or allow the user to perform further operations on the displayed message, such as storing, deleting, replying, and forwarding. In accordance with the present invention, the transmitter may require that the user's actions be performed in accordance with the rules prescribed by the carrier. For example, the sender of the original message may sometimes wish that a third party will be the recipient of the message replying to the original message. Especially when transmitting an original message on behalf of another person, the sender may wish the recipient to transmit any reply to the message directly to the other person. To achieve this, the sender can specify the address (i.e., the telephone number) that will be transmitted in the control portion of the message. If, after receiving the message, the recipient starts a "reply" job on the mobile phone R, the executing device (401) executing the job will check whether a reply bit is specified in a group of control commands of the message. site. If this is the case, the execution device (401) will set the specified address as the address of the current reply job. Similarly, the sender can also specify a range of addresses (phone numbers) to which the message can be forwarded. If the recipient initiates a "transfer" job, the executing device (401) will automatically set the series of addresses to the target address of the current forwarding job.

執行裝置(401)可以是提供用來執行訊息控制命令的一執行期間環境之一訊息控制命令容器。該容器是用來連接抽象訊息控制命令及下層裝置應用程式介面(API)函式的中間層。在一實施例中,藉由驗證是否有任何惡意的控制行動將被執行,而確保安全的訊息控制命令執行。在該安全檢查之後,將合法的控制命令分類,以便在訊息控制的不同階段中使用。根據一實施例,行動電話R可包含其他獨立的訊息控制功能模組,用以實現控制訊息通知、訊息存檔、及使用者行動等的功能。在此種情形中,該訊息控制命令容器將也負責在訊息處理期間安排執行這些訊息控制功能模組的時程。The execution device (401) may be one of the message control command containers that provide an execution period environment for executing the message control commands. This container is the middle layer used to connect abstract message control commands to the underlying device application interface (API) functions. In an embodiment, by verifying that any malicious control actions are to be performed, a secure message control command is executed. After this security check, legitimate control commands are categorized for use in different stages of message control. According to an embodiment, the mobile phone R may include other independent message control function modules for implementing functions such as control message notification, message archiving, and user actions. In this case, the message control command container will also be responsible for scheduling the execution of these message control function modules during message processing.

熟悉此項技術者顯然可了解:可以硬體、軟體、或以上兩者的一組合之形式實施根據本發明的接收裝置(405)、執行裝置(401)、及接收裝置(405)。例如,可以一MMS使用者代理人軟體實施該等裝置。It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the receiving device (405), the executing device (401), and the receiving device (405) according to the present invention can be implemented in the form of a combination of hardware, software, or both. For example, the devices can be implemented by an MMS user agent software.

圖5是根據本發明的一實施例的一訊息(30)之一例子。為了解說本發明如何工作,選擇多媒體網際網路郵件延伸標準(Multimedia Internet Mail Extensions;簡稱MIME)作為訊息格式。大家習知:MIME容許定義不同的子類型,可讓多媒體訊息包含諸如文字、圖片、影像及聲音等的資料。選擇延伸標注語言(Extension Markup Language;簡稱XML)作為控制命令描述語言。XML是一種用來傳送資訊的跨平台且跨軟體及硬體之獨立工具,且係用來組織、儲存及傳送資訊。Figure 5 is an illustration of an example of a message (30) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In order to understand how the invention works, Multimedia Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is selected as the message format. As you know, MIME allows you to define different subtypes that allow multimedia messages to contain data such as text, images, images, and sounds. Select Extension Markup Language (XML) as the control command description language. XML is a cross-platform, cross-software and hardware-based tool for organizing information, and is used to organize, store, and deliver information.

如圖5所示,可以一MIME文件表示傳送者所傳送的多媒體訊息M,而該MIME文件包含兩部分:MIME標頭(500A)及MIME本體(500B)。As shown in FIG. 5, a MIME file can be used to represent the multimedia message M transmitted by the sender, and the MIME file has two parts: a MIME header (500A) and a MIME body (500B).

MIME標頭(500A)進一步包含訊息傳送者控制描述(501)及訊息佈局參照(502)。訊息傳送者控制描述(501)係基於XML,用以描述傳送者預期在接收者端發生的訊息管理及控制。訊息佈局參照(502)指向位於MIME本體的訊息佈局描述(504)。該訊息佈局描述是應如何佈局訊息顯示結果的指令,且係與一個或多個訊息資料單元(505)相關聯。訊息佈局參照(502)、訊息佈局描述(504)、及訊息資料單元(505)對應於圖2中之表示部分(10)。該訊息佈局參照、訊息佈局描述、及訊息資料單元在MIME文件中之實施例是先前技術中所習知,因而不在本說明書中對其作詳細說明。The MIME header (500A) further includes a message sender control description (501) and a message layout reference (502). The message sender control description (501) is based on XML and is used to describe the message management and control that the sender expects to occur at the receiver. The message layout reference (502) points to the message layout description (504) located in the MIME body. The message layout description is an instruction as to how the message display results should be laid out and associated with one or more message material units (505). The message layout reference (502), the message layout description (504), and the message data unit (505) correspond to the representation portion (10) in FIG. The message layout reference, the message layout description, and the embodiment of the message material unit in the MIME file are well known in the prior art and are therefore not described in detail in this specification.

在MIME文件中,與控制描述(501)相關聯的控制參數(503)(503a、503b...)係位於MIME本體。根據本發明的一實施例,控制部分(20)(圖2)可具有控制描述(501)及控制參數(503),其中該控制描述可代表一個或多個控制命令(201),且該控制參數(503)可代表一個或多個控制參數(202)。根據傳送者要求個人化訊息通知的本發明之一實施例,在將其中包括一控制部分(20)及一表示部分(10)的訊息輸入到行動電話S之後,控制命令產生器(303)將把控制部分(20)內的控制命令(201)轉換為MIME格式的控制描述(501)之一部分,然後將該部分插入MIME標頭(500A),例如:<Message Notification> <Ringtone Mode volume=”maximum”> <Ringtone Data> 1388@21753RingtoneData </Ringtone Data> </Ringtone Mode> </Message Notification>In the MIME file, the control parameters (503) (503a, 503b...) associated with the control description (501) are located in the MIME body. According to an embodiment of the invention, the control portion (20) (Fig. 2) may have a control description (501) and control parameters (503), wherein the control description may represent one or more control commands (201) and the control Parameter (503) may represent one or more control parameters (202). According to an embodiment of the present invention in which the sender requests personalized message notification, after a message including a control portion (20) and a presentation portion (10) is input to the mobile phone S, the control command generator (303) will Converting the control command (201) in the control section (20) to one of the control descriptions (501) of the MIME format, and then inserting the section into the MIME header (500A), for example: <Message Notification> <Ringtone Mode volume=” Maximum”> <Ringtone Data> 1388@21753RingtoneData </Ringtone Data> </Ringtone Mode> </Message Notification>

在此同時,控制命令產生器(303)將根據傳送者輸入的控制部分(20)而把作為控制參數(503)的諸如下列區段插入MIME本體:-NextPart_000_0028_01C19839.84698430 Content-Type:Audio/MIDI Content-ID:1388@21753RingtoneData Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64 R01GODdhZAAwAOMAAAAAAIGJjGltcDE0OOfWo6OchbilnlpmcbGojpKbnP/lpW54fB MTE1RYXEFO ...At the same time, the control command generator (303) will insert a section such as the following section as a control parameter (503) into the MIME body according to the control section (20) input by the transmitter: -NextPart_000_0028_01C19839.84698430 Content-Type: Audio/MIDI Content-ID: 1388@21753RingtoneData Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 R01GODdhZAAwAOMAAAAAAIGJjGltcDE0OOfWo6OchbilnlpmcbGojpKbnP/lpW54fB MTE1RYXEFO ...

其中"Content-ID:1388@21753RingtoneData"是該控制參數的實際資料之內容識別碼。控制命令(201)以相同的內容識別碼1388@21753RingtoneData保持參照到該區段。The "Content-ID: 1388@21753RingtoneData" is the content identification code of the actual data of the control parameter. The control command (201) keeps reference to the section with the same content identifier 1388@21753 RingtoneData.

因此,在行動電話R接收到其中包括形式為一MIME文件的上述內容之訊息之後,行動電話R的分解裝置(402)將分析該文件,並將該文件分解為控制命令(201)及控制參數(202)。執行裝置(401)然後可根據控制命令(201)及控制參數(202)而執行傳送者指定的個人化通知。Therefore, after the mobile phone R receives the message including the above content in the form of a MIME file, the decomposition device (402) of the mobile phone R analyzes the file and decomposes the file into a control command (201) and control parameters. (202). The execution device (401) can then perform the personalization notification specified by the transmitter based on the control command (201) and the control parameters (202).

除了上述例子之外,可將額外的控制命令(201)包含在MIME標頭中,例如:<Message Control Command> <Message Notification> <Vibration Mode status=”on”/> ...... </Message Notification> <Message Forward rules=”group restricted”> <Permitted Forward Group> 2423@453256FwdGroup </Permitted Forward Group> </Message Forward> <Message Reply address=“+8613901234432” </Message Reply> </Message Control Command>In addition to the above examples, additional control commands (201) can be included in the MIME header, for example: <Message Control Command> <Message Notification> <Vibration Mode status=”on”/> ...... < /Message Notification> <Message Forward rules=”group restricted”> <Permitted Forward Group> 2423@453256FwdGroup </Permitted Forward Group> </Message Forward> <Message Reply address=“+8613901234432” </Message Reply> </Message Control Command>

除了通知模式命令之外,前文所示的該控制描述亦包含轉送及回覆的控制命令。在轉送的控制描述中,指定作為對應的訊息轉送目標之"2423@453256FwdGroup"指向其中包含特定電話號碼的一個或多個控制參數。當然,亦可以類似的方式將諸如存檔及儲存等的其他命令包含在該控制描述中。In addition to the notification mode command, the control description shown above also includes control commands for forwarding and replying. In the transferred control description, "2423@453256FwdGroup" designated as the corresponding message transfer destination points to one or more control parameters in which the specific phone number is included. Of course, other commands such as archiving and storage can be included in the control description in a similar manner.

已參照本發明的較佳實施例而舉例說明了本發明。然而,並不應將前文中之本發明的說明及細節詮釋為對本發明的保護範圍之任何限制。例如,可在一個相同的行動電話中實施前文所述的行動電話S的各功能組件以及行動電話R的各功能組件。舉另一個例子,可以硬體、軟體、或以上兩者的一組合之形式實施該等實施例中描述的各功能特徵及步驟。此外,不同的實施例中之資料並不必要受任何一種格式的限制,只要該格式可實施本發明的功能即可。因此,熟悉此項技術者當可了解:在參閱本說明書的揭示之後,可在不脫離本發明的精神或範圍下,對本發明的該等實施例作出各種修改。The invention has been exemplified with reference to the preferred embodiments of the invention. However, the description and details of the invention are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. For example, the functional components of the mobile phone S and the functional components of the mobile phone R described above can be implemented in one and the same mobile phone. As another example, various functional features and steps described in the embodiments can be implemented in the form of a combination of hardware, software, or both. Moreover, the material in the different embodiments is not necessarily limited by any one format, as long as the format can implement the functions of the present invention. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications of the embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
