Method of sending text message using SMS MOS method {Method of transferring message using the short message service mobile origination}

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a text message through an SMS MO (Mobile Origination) method, and more particularly, a method for transmitting a text message using a personal representative number having a call forwarding function using the SMS MO method, and various people. The present invention relates to a multiple message transmission method capable of simultaneously transmitting a message to a user.

In particular, the present invention extends the conventional simple SMS MO service function, and can send a text message to a desired person using only the personal representative number, and also SMS, e-mail, video, voice to a large number of people stored in their mailboxes. It provides a service method that can deliver a message such as.

Short Message Service (SMS), called short message or text message service, is a kind of wireless data communication service that can transmit simple text messages using mobile phone system.

Receiving textual or numeric text messages over the wireless network is similar to the previous paging service, except that the SMS service using the mobile phone network is a two-way service capable of receiving as well as sending. In addition, since the size of the message that can be delivered at once is called a short message (Short Message) message, the length of the message varies slightly depending on the mobile phone system.

Currently, SMS service using domestic CDMA or PCS network can transmit 80 bytes of messages at a time. One byte corresponds to English letters, numbers, and one special character, so if you use only these characters, you can send up to 80 characters. However, when using Hangul, two bytes are required to represent one character, so up to 40 characters can be sent in Korean. On the other hand, in the GSM (Global Standard for Mobiles) system, which accounts for more than 80% of the world's mobile phone systems, up to 160 bytes can be sent at one time. .

SMS service was first started in Europe using GSM mobile phone system in 1991, and in Korea, CDMA mobile phone service began in October 1997, and service began to be provided. Has been developed.

SMS is stored in a device called Short Message Center (SMC) or Short Message Service Center (SMSC), and then sent according to the status of the user's terminal.The message is received when the user's terminal is turned off or out of service area. If this is not possible, wait until the call is available before attempting to send a message. And since these retries can be done tens to hundreds, depending on the system, in some cases the message delivery time may be delayed, but the probability of not receiving the message is reduced compared to the pager.

Among the service methods using SMS, the text message transmission that we mainly use corresponds to a phone-to-phone service method that can be seen as a one-to-one transmission concept, that is, a service for transmitting a message to one terminal.

Looking at the SMS method used in the present invention in detail.

In general, SMS includes simple SMS (transfer from personal mobile phone to personal mobile phone) and enterprise SMS, and enterprise SMS is MT (Mobile Termination), which means sending a message from the IP side to the terminal, and MO (Mobile Origination) at the terminal. Means sending a message to the IP). In other words, MT is to send SMS to individuals by using SMS communication server installed by individual or company, and MO is a general public after corporate SMS company receives company identification number (eg ## 12) from mobile communication company. When the SMS is transmitted using the company identification number as the called number, the mobile communication service provider recognizes the identification number and transmits the SMS to the corresponding communication server.

Early SMS services were mainly used to inform users that there was a message stored in a voicemail box or to send a simple text message. However, by applying the feature that can transmit text information in both directions, it is now possible to use the interactive information service that can retrieve a simple information using the terminal. Recently, the application fields of SMS have been expanded and applied to a large number of parts. For example, you can receive only the information you want through the on-demand information service that can receive only the information registered in advance through the mobile phone.

In addition, when an e-mail arrives, the e-mail can be automatically informed of the arrival date and the subject through SMS, and is increasingly used for remote meter reading or remote control. In addition, logistics and courier services are used to inform the location of cargo and to send notices and notices to customers and employees, and to be used for political party district management and election campaigns for delegates.

Despite these developments, SMS is a service that literally transmits a short text message and has a small size of data that can be transmitted at one time, and has a disadvantage in that it cannot transmit data such as voice, moving picture, and still picture except text. .

In addition, except for some mobile phones, only one SMS can be sent at a time, so in order to send the same message to many people, SMS must be sent one by one and everyone's mobile number must be remembered.

On the other hand, for people whose phone numbers change frequently, it is often cumbersome to announce the facts, which sometimes leads to missing important contacts. Also, if you call after a long time, you can't be contacted due to a change of phone number due to moving, etc., or if the call comes back while you are away from home or office even if the phone number is not changed, There was a problem that you can not contact if you do not know the mobile phone number.

In order to remedy this problem, a service of a personal representative number concept has recently been introduced. A personal representative number is a number assigned to a general member by a telecommunication service provider, and means that a member can receive a call at a desired destination if the member remembers the personal representative number.

That is, if the general public only remembers the representative number of the individual representative number subscriber, the mobile phone number of the subscriber can not remember, or even if the mobile phone number is changed, the call is possible through the call forwarding function of the personal representative number service provider. will be.

However, at present, such a personal representative number service has only a voice call using a telephone, and has a limitation that there is no function to transmit a text message.

Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a text message transmission method using the SMS MO method to solve the above problems.

The present invention provides a method for transmitting a text message using a personal representative number having a call forwarding function through the SMS MO (Mobile Origination) method, by storing a desired forwarding number in the corresponding personal representative number to send a text message to the general public Even if you do not know the mobile phone number of the person who wants to remember the personal representative number by using this number to send a text message at any time.

In addition, the present invention extends the conventional simple SMS MO service function, SMS, e-mail to a large number of people stored in their mailbox by using their mobile phone from outside, even if the standalone SMS is installed on the Web Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-message transmission method capable of delivering a message such as video, video, and voice.

2 is a block diagram showing a process of transmitting a text message using a call forwardable personal representative number according to another embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a block diagram of a multiple message transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention provides a text message transmission method of a wireless communication terminal by SMS MO (Mobile Organization) method using a personal representative number. The text message transmission method is specifically,

Receiving a personal representative number that can be transferred to the service user by joining as a member of the personal representative number service company;

Transmitting, by a general wireless communication terminal user, a text message written using the personal representative number of the member as a called number to an SMS server of a mobile communication service provider;

Transmitting the transmitted text message from the SMS server of the mobile communication provider to the communication server of the relay company;

Retrieving information of a member corresponding to a called number of the transmitted text message from a member database of the personal representative number service company;

And the text message from which the member information is searched is re-transmitted from the server of the relay company to the server of the mobile communication company and transmitted to the wireless communication terminal set by the searched member as the called number.

As described above, the personal representative number is a number assigned to the general personal members by the telecommunications service provider, and means that the member can receive a call to a desired destination if the member remembers the personal representative number. Accordingly, the present invention is to enable the transmission of a text message further from the concept of the personal representative number that can simply answer the phone call.

In other words, if the general person only remembers the personal representative number of the individual representative number subscriber, the mobile phone number of the subscriber may not remember or even if the mobile phone number is changed, the text message can be easily transmitted.

When the text message transmission method using the personal representative number of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, the person who wants to use the personal representative number text message service is registered as a member of the personal representative number service provider and receives the personal representative number. And give this personal representative number to your acquaintances. When a person who knows the personal representative number wants to send a text message to the member, he / she writes a text message with his mobile phone and sends the designated number to the member's personal representative number (step a).

At this time, it is preferable that a part of the personal representative number is configured as a number for identifying the personal representative number service, so that the personal representative number can be transmitted to the communication server 300 of the relay company. For example, the first four digits of the called party number, that is, the personal representative number, may be designated as an identification number such as 0022 or 0033, and the communication server of the relay company may be recognized by the SMS server 200 of the mobile communication service provider. 300).

The text message sent by the user recognizes the identification number in the SMS server 200 of the mobile communication provider and is sent to the communication server 300 of the relay company (step b), in the server of the relay company receiving the text message. The personal representative number service member searches the database 400 of the member (step c), and finds the member's wireless communication terminal telephone number corresponding to the personal representative number (step d) on the server 300 of the relay company. It is retransmitted to the server 200 (steps d and e), and finally transmitted to the member's terminal 500 corresponding to the personal representative number (step f).

In addition, the present invention may be to receive and send text messages only through the member database of the server and service provider of the mobile communication company without going through a separate relay company (see Figure 2). Specifically,

Receiving a personal representative number that can be transferred to the service user by joining as a member of the personal representative number service company;

Transmitting, by a general wireless communication terminal user, a text message written using the personal representative number of the member as a called number to an SMS server of a mobile communication service provider;

Retrieving information of a member corresponding to a called number of the transmitted text message from a database of the personal representative number service company;

And transmitting the text message from which the member information is searched to the wireless communication terminal set by the searched member as the called number through the SMS server of the mobile communication service provider.

This process is illustrated in FIG. 2, and unlike FIG. 1, since the text message is transmitted without passing through the server of the relay company, the transmission step is simplified and simplified.

In addition, the present invention is a multi-message transmission method using the SMS MO method, that is, SMS, e-mail, video, voice, etc. to multiple people at the same time using their mobile phone from the outside even on the Web or a standalone SMS is not installed The present invention relates to a service method for delivering a message.

The multiple message transmission method using the SMS MO method according to the present invention

A service user registering as a member of a service provider, receiving a mailbox existing on a server of the service provider, and storing personal information of message recipients in the mailbox in groups;

Setting, by the member, a group of the mailbox, and designating a called number including a service provider identification number and a message transmission method, and then sending a text message;

Transmitting the text message from a server of a mobile communication service provider to a server of the service provider;

Recognizing the identity of the member who transmitted the message by recognizing the caller ID or the callback number of the message delivered from the server of the service provider;

And searching for a mailbox of the member whose identity has been identified and transmitting a message to a corresponding group.

The above invention is described by way of example as follows.

First, a user who wants a multi-message service is registered as a member of a service provider, and then a mailbox is created using the SMS MO method.

The mailbox may be created on the web or may use an ARS system. When writing on the web, the member manages the mailbox by visiting, logging in to the site of the multi-message service company of the present invention, and selecting a mailbox management menu to add / modify / delete a group. At this time, the name, mobile phone number, e-mail address, etc. of the person corresponding to the set group are recorded in the mailbox.

In addition, the mailbox of the present invention can also be created using the ARS system. First, a member calls the ARS system, selects a mailbox management menu button, and adds / modifies / deletes a mailing list according to the ARS announcement. To manage.

In addition, the mailbox may be managed using the SMS MO method of the wireless communication terminal. For example, you can add / modify / delete a group by adding the letter m (abbreviation of mail box) after the operator identification number in the called party number and sending the message by writing the message contents according to the contracted protocol. Addition / modification / deletion of group during the operation follows the set protocol. The mobile service provider 201 delivers the first 4 digits (operator identification number) of the received SMS number to the service provider's server 300, and the service provider's server 300 transmits the caller ID or callback number of the message sender. Recognize the identity of the sender of the message by recognizing the identity of the m after the identification number to open the mailbox of the person to recognize the contents of the promised message to add / modify / delete the mailbox of the member.

An example of mailbox management using this method is as follows.

If the member of the service provider sends the called number ## 00-m and the contents of the message as group1, information 00 0193365492, Hong 00 019000111, the information is sent to the member's mailbox assigned to the service provider. The phone number is added to group 1. In the same way, you can modify / delete the previously entered mailboxes by changing the contents of the message according to the agreed protocol.

The text message of the present invention can not only be transmitted as a text message of a wireless communication terminal, but also e-mail, automatic voice notification, user voice notification, and video transmission are all possible.

In particular, it is preferable to select a symbol for identifying such a message transmission method and include it in the called number. For example, the forwarding number consists of the message forwarding code after the service provider identification number, where (s) indicates a text message transmission method, (e) indicates an e-mail transmission method, and (t) indicates automatic transmission. The voice notification method is shown, (a) indicates the user voice notification method, and (v) indicates the video transmission method.

Accordingly, if the service member selects an e-mail transmission method, a text message to be sent is sent to the e-mail address of the member stored in the mailbox, and if the automatic voice notification method is selected, the text message to be sent by the member is selected. Is converted to voice by the TTS engine, and then voice notification is sent to the wireless communication terminals of the group.

In addition, if the user voice notification method is selected, the voice recording contents previously stored by the member are transmitted to the wireless communication terminal of the corresponding group. If the video transmission method is selected, the pre-stored video is the e-mail or wireless communication terminal of the group. Is sent to.

The present invention provides a method for transmitting a text message using a personal representative number having a call forwarding function through the SMS MO (Mobile Origination) method, but in the past, the mobile phone number of the other party to send a message must be known. Through the general public can remember only the personal representative number, you can use this number to send a text message at any time. Accordingly, even if the member's phone number is changed or exists for a certain period of time, the user can receive a text message to a desired number without informing the user of the change.

In addition, the present invention improves the shortcoming that the message must be transmitted only on the Web or a standalone SMS installed in the enterprise SMS is installed in order to send the same message to many people at the same time, multiple message transmission method using the SMS MO method It is useful to be able to simultaneously deliver messages such as SMS, e-mail, video, and voice to a large number of people stored in their own mailboxes on the go or outside of their wireless terminal alone.
