Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First embodiment

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a content setting system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein a first mobile terminal 10, a second mobile terminal 20, a mobile communication network 30, and a wireless application protocol (WAP) are provided. It includes a G / W 40, a Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) 50, and a service server 60.

The first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20 are terminals set in a couple or family relationship (hereinafter, 'group setting'), and include not only cellular phones and PCS phones but also electronic devices such as PDAs having mobile communication functions. do.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal 10 or 20 changes the setting of the content such as a standby screen or a ringtone, the changed content should be automatically transmitted to the service server 60, and thus, each mobile terminal. 10 and 20 should be equipped with a terminal application for automatically executing a wireless Internet access to the service server 50 after recognizing the change of its content settings.

In addition, if the content setting is changed in any of the mobile terminals 10 and 20 set in the group, and the changed content is transmitted through the service server 60, an application for automatically changing the previously set content to newly received content should be provided. .

Since the type of content in the embodiment of the present invention does not need to be particularly limited, the term 'content' as used herein is a standby screen, a ringing screen, a reception screen displayed when a call is received, or a call. It includes all that can be visually or audibly displayed on the mobile terminal such as the calling screen, text message writing screen, menu color, menu font, and the like.

The mobile communication network 30 includes a base station transmitter (BTS) connected to a mobile terminal 10 or 20 through a wireless channel; A base station controller (BSC) that performs functions such as radio channel assignment and release for mobile terminals 10 and 20, transmission output control of mobile terminals 10 and 20 and base station transmitters, and cell handoff determination. ); Mobile Switching Center (MSC) for performing functions such as incoming / outgoing call processing of subscribers, handoff procedure processing, interworking with other networks, and the like.

The WAP G / W 40 connects the WAP-based mobile communication network 30 with the TCP / IP-based internet network, and converts HTML, which is an internet language, with HDML (Handheld Device Markup Langue) or WML, which is a wireless Internet language. .

The PPG 50 transmits the push message requested by the service server 60 to the mobile terminal 10 or 20 which needs to change the content setting via the mobile communication network 30, and preferably the PPG 50 ) And the service server 50 is a push access protocol (PAP) is applied.

The service server 60 is interlocked with the subscriber DB 62 storing the group set subscriber information and the mobile terminal number, and after receiving the changed contents set in any one of the group set mobile terminals 10 and 20, It transmits to the rest of the set mobile terminal.

Hereinafter, a content setting method according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in order with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, the number of the mobile terminal desired to set the group is registered in the service server 60. Specifically, the subscriber information and the number of the mobile terminal are stored in the subscriber DB 62 interoperating with the service server. The subscriber DB 62 and the service server 60 are logically divided, and are not necessarily physically spaced apart.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mobile terminal 10 and the second mobile terminal 20 are set to one group to which the service of the present invention is applied.

The service subscription request is to set up subscriber information and group through the WAP page provided by the service server 60 after a wireless Internet connection to the service server 60 from any one of the first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20. This can be done by entering the number of another mobile terminal.

In addition, after the holder of the first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20 makes an Internet connection to the service server 60 through a computer terminal, subscriber information and group setting may be performed through a web page provided by the service server 60. It may also be achieved by entering the number of the other mobile terminal.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the contents set in the mobile terminal from being arbitrarily changed irrespective of its intention, it is preferable to obtain a predetermined approval from the holder of the mobile terminal included in the group setting target during the service subscription process.

To this end, for example, when the holder of the first mobile terminal 10 accesses the service server 60, inputs the number of the second mobile terminal 20, and applies for group setting and service subscription, the service server 60 Once sent to the second mobile terminal 20 sends an interactive SMS message inquiring whether to approve the service.

After the service server 60 receives the approval message from the second mobile terminal 20, the service server 60 associates the number of the second mobile terminal 20 with the information of the first mobile terminal 10 to the subscriber DB 62. Save it.

In addition, in order to apply the first embodiment of the present invention, when the content setting is changed, the first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20 transmit the changed content to the service server or newly receive the content set in the terminal. It should be equipped with an application for changing to one content, such applications WAP push (Push) from the service server 60 to the first and second mobile terminals 10, 20 at the time of the registration process is completed in the service subscription process ) Or push it via SMS with a callback URL. (ST 11)

After the service subscription procedure is completed, for example, the holder of the first mobile terminal 10 changes and sets the existing first content set in the first mobile terminal 10 to another second content. (ST 12)

When the content setting is changed in this way, the terminal application mounted on the first mobile terminal 10 automatically attempts to access the wireless Internet to the service server 60 and transmits the changed second content to the service server 60. (ST 13)

After receiving the second content from the first mobile terminal 10, the service server 60 searches for the mobile terminal included in the same group as the first mobile terminal 10 in the subscriber DB 62. Of course, it is preferable to check in advance whether the subscription of the first mobile terminal 10 is valid beforehand.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, since the second mobile terminal 20 is assumed to be grouped with the first mobile terminal 10, the service server 60 transmits the second content to the second mobile terminal 20. send. If there are three or more grouped mobile terminals, the second content should be transmitted to all other mobile terminals.

Content delivery is preferably made in the WAP push method. Therefore, the service server 60 first transmits the push request message, the number of the second mobile terminal 20, and the second content to the PPG 50, and the PPG 50 receives the second mobile terminal 20 after receiving the message. Establish a communication session with the second content;

Although the WAP push method is a more direct transmission method, it is also possible to temporarily store the second content in the service server 60 and transmit an SMS message including a callback URL to the second mobile terminal 20. . In this case, the second mobile terminal 20 automatically downloads the second content by accessing the service server 60 through the URL. (ST 14)

When the second mobile terminal 20 receives the second content from the service server 60, the terminal application is driven to change the existing setting to the second content. As a result, the second mobile terminal 20 can set the second content at substantially the same time as the first mobile terminal 10. (ST 15)

Second embodiment

The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a case where one of various contents already stored in the first mobile terminal 10 is selected when the content setting is changed in the first mobile terminal 10.

However, since there is a limit to the type of content that can be stored in the mobile terminal, WAP online content is also frequently used to store various contents in an external service server and download and set the mobile terminal.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, even in such a case, it is possible to set the same contents in the group set mobile terminal period, and the basic system configuration is as shown in FIG.

However, if the service server 60 in the first embodiment plays a role of mediating content between the first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20, the service server 60 in the second embodiment There is a difference in that it serves to provide the mobile terminal 10, 20, the content that it stores.

That is, in the second embodiment, the service server 60 stores various contents that can be implemented in the mobile terminals 10 and 20, and any one of the grouped first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20 is stored. When the arbitrary content is downloaded from the service server 60 and set, the service server 60 transmits the same content to another mobile terminal grouped.

The service server 60 should interwork with the subscriber DB 62, and the telephone numbers of the group-set mobile terminals should be stored in association with each other in the subscriber DB 62 as in the first embodiment.

Meanwhile, in the first embodiment, a terminal application for automatically transmitting the content to the service server 60 when the content is changed in the first or second mobile terminal 10 or 20 is required, but in the second embodiment, the service server 60 is used. Because the content is stored in, no such functionality is required.

However, when the content is pushed by the service server 60, an application for automatically changing its content setting using the same should be set in the first and second mobile terminals 10 and 20.

Hereinafter, a content setting method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in order with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, the number of the mobile terminal desired to set up a group is registered in the service server 60 through the same joining procedure as in the first embodiment. Specifically, the subscriber information is stored in association with the subscriber information and the number of the mobile terminal in the subscriber DB 62 interworking with the service server 60.

In addition, as in the first embodiment, it is preferable to push an application for automatically changing the content setting from the service server 60 to the respective mobile terminals 10 and 20 after the approval procedure for the holder of the mobile terminal, which is a group setting target. Do. (ST 21)

Subsequently, for example, the first mobile terminal 10 having any first content set therein accesses the service server 60 through the WAP G / W 40, selects the second content, and then selects the second content. Apply to download and set to the first mobile terminal (10).

In this case, simply downloading the second content is only stored in the memory of the first mobile terminal 10. When the corresponding content is downloaded and the setting of the first mobile terminal 10 changes from the first content to the second content, The second embodiment of the present invention is preferably applied so that the same content is transmitted to the second mobile terminal 20.

To this end, the content download menu of the WAP page or the web page provided by the service server 60 should be provided with a 'download and set' menu that is distinguished from the 'simple download' menu, or a set menu after the download is completed.

In the former case, when the 'download and set' menu is selected, in the latter case, the second content is transmitted from the service server 50 to the second mobile terminal 20 when the setting menu is selected. (ST 22)

When the first mobile terminal 10 accesses the service server 60 to download and set the second content, the service server 60 checks the subscriber information of the first mobile terminal 10 and then sets the group of mobile terminals. Check if it exists.

When it is confirmed that the second mobile terminal 20 is grouped, the service server 60 pushes the second content to the second mobile terminal 20.

The content push method is a method of requesting the PPG 50 to request a WAP push by transmitting the number of the second mobile terminal 20 and the second content to the PPG 50, and an SMS message including a callback URL. It is possible to push the second mobile terminal 20, the second mobile terminal 20 is automatically connected to the service server 60 through the URL to download the second content. (ST 23)

After receiving the second content from the service server 60, the second mobile terminal 20 changes the existing content into the second content, whereby the second mobile terminal 20 changes the first mobile terminal 10. Can set the same content almost simultaneously. (ST 24)

According to the present invention, if the content setting is changed in any one of the grouped mobile terminals such as a couple or a family, the same content is set in the other mobile terminal, so that a sense of belonging or belonging among the grouped service subscribers is enhanced and thus a couple or a family service is provided. Can be activated.
