Description

METHOOD FOR SUPPORTING CONNECTION-LESS ORIENTED INFORMATION SERVICE VIA SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE}

The present invention relates to a method for a mobile wireless terminal to share and service information with another mobile wireless terminal.

In order to search the Internet and information of the existing mobile wireless terminal, the Internet or the specific information is searched through a server provided by a communication service provider. In order to provide such a service, a telecommunication service provider provided a hypertext markup language (HTML) of the Internet or a processed form such as a wireless application protocol (WAP).

Short Message Service (SMS) refers to a short message service that can exchange short messages between mobile subscribers. This service allows mobile subscribers to send short messages in Korean or English to other mobile subscribers and receive messages over public telephone networks, data communication networks or the Internet. SMS can be sent in two ways: by sending a message to a Personal Communication Service (PCS) terminal by accessing personal computer (PC) communications or the Internet, or by sending messages from the terminal to the Internet, and by sending and receiving messages between terminals that have joined the same business. Is provided. The SMS service can receive a message even during a voice call. If the subscriber cannot turn off the power and receive the message, the SMS service can store the transmitted data and check the message while the subscriber turns on the power again. SMS is also called corporate SMS or group notification service. Unlike the service used by general customers to send messages, the company has expanded the use of SMS to companies in that they can send out various DMs and bills at the same time. Mobile phone service has the advantage of earning profits through SMS, which has stayed in value-added services by securing enterprise users with a large amount of message transmission. SMS, which was previously only available to subscribers of the same company, can freely send and receive text messages through mobile terminals, ranging from interworking with other companies' services and wireless calls to mobile phones and wireless data communications. By using SMS technology, text information can be sent and received up to 224 characters in English, and information services such as stock information and weather forecasts can be used. In addition, bank transactions such as bank transfer and e-commerce will be possible. Recently, a multimedia communication network has been established to collect various information through the Internet network, and a technology for connecting an internet network using a mobile communication terminal has been developed. In addition, the development of various complex functions for obtaining information using a mobile communication terminal is required.

However, there is a limit to one server providing information on the area where the mobile wireless terminal is located. Difficult to keep up with the various changes and difficult to manage. In addition, the providers of information (eg, merchants, advertisers, etc.) have no choice but to suspend their telecommunications service providers to register their information. In addition, there are bound to be limitations of services provided by carriers. For this reason, an information provider (IP) that provides information needs a cheap method of providing the information through a mobile wireless terminal. In addition, it is inefficient for a mobile wireless terminal to receive a service by accessing a server having a lot of information, not just information necessary for retrieving information. Of course, through the Internet, but eventually through a gateway (Gateway), the locality of the information you want to find is less. Since the type of service provided by the existing WAP becomes a connection-oriented type, it is inevitable to use a line even when the idle state is not retrieved. After all, the user has to pay until the time not used, and there is a problem that the inefficiency of the line must be increased.

Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the prior art, it is necessary to provide a distributed server type service that can be provided by a mobile wireless terminal. The service provided by one server should be in a form that can be serviced mainly in the region and obtain information about a specific region in another region. Each IP must register its information with one server and publish it to the cell to which it belongs.

In order to perform this method, the base station should provide the mobile wireless terminals with the information sharing list in its cell. In addition, IP must provide a server with service capability and price satisfactory.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a service method that can consider the locality required of a distributed server and a mobile wireless terminal in a connectionless information retrieval service using SMS.

Another object of the present invention is to provide information in a cheap form and increase the number of information providers by avoiding the use of a line while not performing information retrieval in a connectionless information retrieval service using SMS. To provide a way.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile wireless terminal for transmitting information of an SMS received through a data transmission cable to a server in a connectionless oriented information retrieval service using an SMS. It provides a list to a mobile wireless terminal storing information sharing facts and requesting information retrieval, and characterized by a connectionless oriented information retrieval service method using an SMS comprising a base station having a function of exchanging a list of shared information between different base stations. do.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the reference numerals to the components of the accompanying drawings, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if displayed on different drawings. Also in the following description and in the accompanying drawings, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a view showing a preferred embodiment of a short message service according to the present invention, when the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

An information provider IP (Information Provider) has one MS (Mobile Station) 12. The IP 12 of the IP is connected to the server 14 by a data communication cable. When the MS 12 of the IP receives the short message service (SMS) from the base station (BS) 16, it transmits the message to the server 14 of the IP via a data communication cable. Upon receiving the SMS message, the server 14 sees the contents of the SMS received from the MS 12 of the IP, and processes the result of the contents into an SMS format and delivers the result to the MS 12 of the IP. The MS 12 of the IP forwards the SMS message sent by the server 14 to the BS 16 in response to the SMS received from the BS 16.

The SMS message used in the present invention includes a certain tag (TAG). The server 14 of the IP determines the content to respond to by viewing the tag included in the SMS message. The tag of the IP server 14 defined here may define and use a tag that can be processed by the server 14, and in the present invention, the tag may use a WAP or HTML-based tag.

The MS 12 of the IP registers with the BS 16 that there is a server 14 connected thereto. In this case, the BS 16 stores the list of registered IP servers 14. The stored contents are transmitted to the information search MS 10 which wants to search for local information, and shows a list of the server 14. In other words, it appears as a list of shared information. When the information retrieval MS 10 that wants to retrieve the information sends an SMS requesting a sharing list to the BS 16, the BS 16 refers to the information retrieval MS that wants to retrieve the information by using the SMS by referring to the sharing list. To 10). The BS 16 stores information about the MS 12 of the IP with a certain classification list.

The information retrieval MS 10 that wants to retrieve the information requests the share list item from the BS 16. BS 16 shows its share list item via SMS. Using this information, an SMS is sent requesting a specific item of the required share list. BS 16 sees its share list entry and knows the telephone number of MS 12 of IP it needs. The telephone number is used to request information from the IP server 14, and information is retrieved through this information.

Other mobile communication network or wired service provider network 20, Internet server 22, and WAP server 24 which are existing information service servers may request SMS information retrieval through a wired line provided by the mobile communication service provider 18. It receives a message and gives a response by wire, and the BS 16 delivers it to the information retrieval MS 10.

In the present invention, the BS 16 has a function of exchanging a list of shared information between each other, through which the shared information of other BS 16 can be read to enable information retrieval.

As described above, the present invention has a distributed server form in a connectionless information retrieval service using SMS, and enables a service capable of considering locality required by a mobile wireless terminal. In addition, it is possible to provide information in a cheap form, provide necessary information, increase the number of information providers, and various services as follows. That is, a telephone number search service, a distributed coupon acquisition, an advertisement service, information sharing using another person's mobile phone, and the like can be performed. In addition, since the data service does not use the line while the information is not being searched for, the efficient use of the communication line and the type of service may charge a fee for searching for information. It is effective.
