Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile radio terminal with a receive and transmit function for alphanumeric messages, a mobile radio communication system with a transmission function for such messages between two terminals and a method for handling alphanumeric messages in a mobile radio communication system.
  • a disadvantage of this type of message transmission is that the sender of a message can have no certainty as to whether his message has been acknowledged by the recipient, unless the recipient provides feedback on his own initiative. However, this can be impossible for the recipient if his own terminal is not on standby or if it is on standby but the user is prevented for some reason from answering a call, reading the message or answering.

  • a mobile radio terminal with reception and transmission function for alphanumeric messages, which can be switched into an automatic answer mode, in which it automatically answers an incoming message with a prepared own message.
  • a message can be pre-formulated by the user and thus inform the sender of the original message of why and, if necessary, how long the recipient will not be available.
  • Such a terminal preferably has storage space for a plurality of prepared own messages, so that in order to prepare for prevention from the plurality of prepared messages, the user only has to select that which is appropriate to the current situation, instead of being forced to do so laborious to re-enter each time.

  • the automatic answering function is implemented here directly in the mobile radio communication system, for example in a base station. This makes it possible to maintain the automatic answering operating state of the terminal even when the terminal is not in standby.
  • the implementation of the automatic response function in the mobile radio communication system also offers the possibility that the memory for prepared messages contains at least one prepared message which can be selected by a plurality of terminals in response to messages arriving for them. That the operator of the mobile radio communication system can make a plurality of pre-formulated messages available to the end user for selection. For the individual user, there is no longer any need to formulate his own messages, which enables faster and more convenient use of the automatic response.

  • Prepared messages at this memory location assigned to a specific terminal can expediently be edited by this terminal. This allows a user the same flexibility when formulating the prepared messages as when storing them in the terminal Even here, it is possible to use individual prepared messages only as a response to incoming messages from certain groups of senders.
  • the object is further achieved by a method for handling alphanumeric messages in a mobile radio communication system, in which, when a message originating from a sender terminal device arrives, it is checked whether a terminal device selected as the recipient of the message is in an automatic response operating state, and if so, a prepared message is sent back to the sender terminal.

Abstract

Dans un système de téléphonie mobile ou dans un terminal relié à un système de téléphonie mobile, à la réception d'un message envoyé par un terminal émetteur, un contrôle est réalisé pour vérifier si le terminal sélectionné comme récepteur du message se trouve en fonctionnement de réponse automatique. Si c'est le cas, un message mémorisé dans le terminal ou le système de téléphonie mobile est envoyé en retour au terminal émetteur.
