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

1 is a block diagram of a content present system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a mobile terminal 10, 20, mobile communication network 30, SMSC 40, content server 50, content DB 52 Include.

The mobile terminal 10 or 20 includes not only a cellular phone and a PCS phone but also an electronic device such as a PDA having a mobile communication function. In particular, the mobile terminal 10 or 20 should support a short message transmission / reception function. For convenience of description, in the present specification, one of the two mobile terminals shown in FIG. 1 is considered to be the calling mobile terminal 10 and the other is the receiving mobile terminal 20.

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 Short Message Service Center (SMS) 40 converts the received information into an SMS message and transmits the information to the opposite side. In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the service code is transmitted together with the keyword in the calling mobile terminal 10, the service code also recognizes the service code and also performs the routing to the content server 50.

The content server 50 interworks with the content DB 52 that stores various contents such as ringtones, music, and idle screens. It goes without saying that the type of the content stored in the content DB 52 is not limited to the above items.

The content server 50 searches for the corresponding content by using the received keyword and transmits the search result to the calling mobile terminal, and together with the recording message transmitted from the calling mobile terminal 10 and the content selected by the calling party It serves to transmit to the mobile terminal (20).

Hereinafter, a process of presenting predetermined content to the receiving-side mobile terminal 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the signal flow diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2.

An embodiment of the present invention may be applied to content in various fields, such as music, ringtones, characters, and standby screens. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the content is music, and a caller receives music entitled 'Apartment'. An example of presenting the present invention to the side mobile terminal 20 will be described.

First, it is preferable that the caller registers the telephone number of the calling mobile terminal 10 in the content server 50 in advance through a predetermined service subscription procedure.

After that, the caller opens a short message input screen on his mobile terminal 10 and inputs a keyword (or search term) of the content (music) to be presented, for example, 'apartment' as shown in FIG. (ST 11)

Subsequently, a phone number (hereinafter, referred to as 'receiving number') of a receiving mobile terminal to which a music gift is to be delivered is inputted.

In this case, if only the receiving party number is input, a text message of 'apartment' may be transmitted to the receiving mobile terminal 20. In an embodiment of the present invention, the keyword 'apartment' is previously transmitted to the content server 50. Enter the promised service code with the receiving party number. The service code may be arbitrarily determined using numbers, # or *. (ST 12)

Here, the order of ST11 and ST12 may be set in reverse, and the input order of the service code and the receiver number may be arbitrarily set.

After completing the above input process, when the confirmation or selection button is pressed on the calling mobile terminal 10, predetermined data including a keyword, a service code, and a receiving party number is sent to the SMSC 40 via the mobile communication network 20. (ST 13)

If the received data includes the service code, the SMSC 40 performs routing to the content server 50 corresponding to the service code, and receives the received keyword 'apartment' and information of the calling mobile terminal 10 from the received content. Send to server 50. (ST 14, ST 15)

After receiving the keyword 'apartment', the content server 50 first performs a predetermined authentication procedure to check whether the caller subscribes to the service, and if it is confirmed that the subscriber is a service subscriber, the content server 52 associated with the 'apartment'. Search for the content (music) corresponding to '.

The method of searching for the content in the content DB 52 using the search word uses a conventionally known method. The keyword 'apartment' is used to determine whether to search only music that includes the phrase 'apartment' in the title or to search for music that includes the phrase 'apartment' in the lyrics. It can be set arbitrarily according to the setting. (ST 16)

The content server 50 transmits the searched result to the calling mobile terminal 10 via the SMSC 40. (ST 17)

Subsequently, the caller must go through a confirmation or selection procedure while looking at the search result displayed on his mobile terminal 10. For example, as shown in the first screen of FIG. 4, when three pieces of music titled 'Apartment' are searched, the caller selects one piece of music (for example, number 1) by manipulating a menu. If necessary, a menu for selecting two or more pieces of music may be provided. (ST 18)

When the user selects the desired music through the menu bar and presses the selection menu, the selected content information, that is, the information that the 'apartment' is selected, is transmitted to the content server 50 via the SMSC 40. (ST 19)

In the present invention, since the sender directly transmits the message recorded by the sender together with the selected content through the above procedure to the receiving mobile terminal 20, the sender records the message and transmits it to the content server 50. Required.

There is no need to specifically limit when to send the recording message to the content server 50, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the caller checks the search results provided by the content server 50 and records the message after selecting the desired content. It was made.

That is, as shown in Figure 4, if you select the desired music in the search results screen and press the select button, the screen asking the message recording step is displayed, if the caller select 'Yes' message recording screen is displayed The recording process proceeds in the order of recording the nurturing message to be sent to the receiver on the recording screen. (ST 20)

When the message recording is completed, the calling party mobile terminal 10 transmits the recording message to the content server 50 through the voice network. (ST 21)

Subsequently, the content server 50 combines both the recorded message transmitted from the calling mobile terminal 10 and the content selected by the calling party before the sending of the content to the receiving mobile terminal 20. Combination means storing both in association with each other, so they are stored in association so that they can be integrated into one data file or transmitted together. (ST 22)

On the other hand, the content server 50 may have a variety of methods for transmitting the content and the recording message to the receiving mobile terminal 20.

2 is a suitable method when the content is music, attempts to make a call request through the voice network from the content server 50 to the receiving mobile terminal 20, and stores the recorded message and the selected content when a call is connected. Play music in order and send it through voice network. (ST 23, ST 24)

Therefore, when the receiver receives the incoming call from the content server 50, the caller can listen to the caller's recording message and the music presented by the caller in order.

However, there is an advantage in that the service fee is inexpensive when the recorded message and the content are transmitted using the voice network, but there is a limit in that it can only present the content that can be recognized by hearing such as music.

In addition, there is a problem that there is no way to store the content presented by the caller in the receiving mobile terminal 20 when transmitted through the voice network.

The content server 50 preferably transmits the completion message indicating that the gift is delivered to the calling mobile terminal 10 after transmitting the recording message and the content to the receiving mobile terminal 20. (ST 25)

Meanwhile, as described above, the method of FIG. 2 has a limitation in transmitting various contents to the receiving-side mobile terminal 10. Hereinafter, another method will be described.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a signal flow diagram according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein after receiving ST22, a present arrival message including a callback URL is received by the content server 50 via the SMSC 40. It is characterized by the fact that it transmits to. (ST 26, ST 27),

After receiving the callback URL, the receiving mobile terminal 20 accesses the content server 50 through the URL and downloads the caller's recording message and the content. (ST28)

In this case, the connection through the URL is made through, for example, a wireless Internet based on a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), and is via a WAP gateway installed between the mobile communication network 20 and the content server 50.

The WAP gateway connects the WAP-based mobile communication network 20 and the TCP / IP-based internet network, and converts HTML, which is an internet language, into HDML (Handheld Device Markup Langue) or WML, which is a wireless internet language.

After the receiving mobile terminal 20 downloads the recording message and the content, the content server 50 preferably transmits the completion message indicating that the gift delivery is completed to the calling mobile terminal 10. (ST 29)

FIG. 6 is a signal flow diagram illustrating another method of transmitting a recorded message and content to a receiving mobile terminal 20. Referring to FIG.

According to this, after the process of combining the recorded message and the selected content in the content server 50 (ST 22), the content server 50 sends the recorded message and the content to the receiving side mobile terminal 20 in a WAP push method. send. (ST 30)

WAP push is made by the content server 50 sends a recording message and the selected content to the Push Proxy Gateway (PPG) (not shown) to request a push, and pushes it directly from the PPG to the receiving mobile terminal (20) It is advantageous in that it is more direct than the method of transmitting a callback URL via the SMSC 40.

On the other hand, in the signal flow diagrams of Figs. 2, 5 and 6, the step of recording a message by the caller (ST 20) after the step of checking and selecting the content retrieved from the content server 50 (ST 18). As described above, the time point at which the caller records the message as described above is not necessarily limited thereto.

Therefore, for example, the message recording step may be set before and after the keyword input ST 11, or the message may be recorded at other necessary steps.

According to the present invention, since the content to be presented is transmitted along with the recorded message of the presenter (sender), the presenter's heart or emotion can be delivered to the receiver more realistically, and thus the activation of the presenting service can be expected.

In addition, the user can easily search for the desired content and present the selected content with a simple operation of inputting a keyword and inputting a service code and a receiving mobile terminal number through SMS.
