Description

Short service method of mobile communication terminal {METHOD FOR SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE IN MOBILE RADIO COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a short service method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a short service method of a mobile communication terminal in which a service center transmits a short message to a plurality of recipients.

In general, a short message service (SMS) refers to a message transmitted to a mobile phone using a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) communication. The service can send up to 160 characters. Short service in pan-European telecommunications was initially available only in Europe. Short service is similar to wireless calling service.

However, short messages are preserved for a few days until the phone is ready to talk, even if the phone is turned off or even in an area where the call is unavailable.

The short message may be sent to anyone who is in the same cell or who is receiving roaming service. The message may be sent from a website to a mobile phone, or may be sent from phone to phone (phone to phone).

However, when creating a short message informing the club meeting using the short service as described above and sending it to the club member, if the terminal of any club member is turned off, the club member does not receive the short message or is received late. There is a problem with not meeting.

Another problem is that a short message for informing club meetings to individual club members must be transmitted individually.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the server providing the short message service periodically transmits a short message to a plurality of recipients so that the administrator can easily manage the plurality of recipients. The purpose is to provide a method.

1 is a flow chart illustrating a short service method of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

2 is an exemplary view for explaining FIG. 1.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first step of checking a phone number list corresponding to a group code indicating a group of recipients to which a short message is sent if the short message received from the user is written in a group mode; ; A second step of determining whether to transmit the short message to a group of recipients corresponding to the phone number recorded in the phone number list by calculating the time of the specific date and the end date recorded in the short message when the phone number list is confirmed; When the transmission of the short message is determined, a third step of transmitting the short message periodically to a group of recipients at predetermined intervals may be performed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Suppose that a manager who manages a club member plans a club meeting and writes a short message using the short message writing function of the mobile phone.

To do this, the administrator selects a menu for writing a short message on the mobile phone.

The mobile phone then displays to the administrator a short message transmission menu indicating the single mode and the group mode through the display window.

At this time, if the administrator selects the single mode, the mobile phone changes to the short message input mode, and receives the short message from the administrator and transmits the short message to the other party.

However, when the administrator selects the group mode, the cellular phone receives a short message from the administrator, and receives the short message from the administrator whether to transmit the short message from a specific time point and at a predetermined periodic interval and stop the transmission at a specific end point. In addition, the administrator must enter a unique number for the club that you manage.

Assume that the variable representing the specific time point is a specific day, and the variable representing the predetermined cycle interval is several times per hour or day of the week. Here, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the specific time point is a specific day, the predetermined period interval is a repetition period and the time point at which the transmission is stopped is an end date.

Thereafter, the cellular phone transmits the short message created in the group mode to the service center.

The service center determines whether the received short message is a group mode or a single mode. This is because the process performed depends on whether the short message is written in group mode or in single mode.

At this time, if it is determined that the input short message is a single mode, the service center transmits the short message to the receiver.

However, if the received short message is in group mode, the service center checks a unique number indicating any particular circle recorded in the short message, and checks the list of phone numbers of the group members corresponding to the unique number in the database.

Here, if the service center does not find the list of the phone number of the club member in the database, it calls the mobile phone and asks the manager to list the phone number of the club member.

In response to the request, the manager inputs the phone number of the club member he manages through the phone number input menu. Here, if the administrator has already used this group mode service, this step will not be necessary, but it is necessary for the first time use. In another case, the administrator may not receive a call request from a service center by inputting a group member's phone number when writing a short message.

The service center confirming the list of the phone number of the club member performs the following process.

First, the service center determines the short message transmission time by comparing the specific date recorded in the short message with the current date and time. Here, the specific day is a time to start the short message transmission from this point the short message is periodically delivered to the club members.

If a short message is started after a specific day has elapsed, the service center periodically transmits the short message to the club members according to a repetition cycle set by the administrator.

Thereafter, the service center deletes the short message from the database when the end date indicating the end of the short message transmission is reached.

Here, the time between the specific date and the end date is a time at which the short message is periodically transmitted to the club members, which is a criterion for determining whether to transmit information input from an administrator.

As described in detail above, the present invention does not need to individually transmit a short message informing the group meeting to each club member, the administrator managing the club member has a convenient effect to manage the club members.

Another effect is that by periodically sending a short message about the club meeting to the club members, there is an effect to reduce the case that the club member can not attend the meeting.

Claims (6)

If the short message received from the terminal is written in a group mode, checking a telephone number list corresponding to a group code indicating a group of recipients to which the short message is to be transmitted; A second step of determining whether to transmit the short message to a group of recipients corresponding to the phone number recorded in the phone number list by calculating the time of the specific date and the end date recorded in the short message when the phone number list is confirmed; And a third step of transmitting a short message periodically to a group of recipients at predetermined intervals when the transmission of the short message is determined.
