The present invention relates to a wired / wireless communication terminal system equipped with an SMS message management function and a control method thereof. Particularly, when a received SMS message exceeds a set main memory capacity, the SMS message exceeded according to a priority is temporarily set. The present invention relates to a wired / wireless communication terminal system having an SMS message management function for transferring to a message buffer memory unit, and a control method thereof.

In general, in the early 1980s, mobile communication system divided service area into hexagonal cells of several km to several ten kilometers in diameter in North America, and then repeatedly used the same frequency channel in geographically separated cells, Cellular phones (cellular-phones), which have implemented wireless channel switching, have grown rapidly in the first commercialization. In addition, such a mobile phone provides various service menus on the terminal for the convenience of the user. For example, a short message service (SMS), an e-mail transmission, and an Internet connection are provided. In this case, the SMS data signal is normally limited to within 8 0 bytes when transmitted to the terminal.

Then, referring to the conventional mobile communication system as described above with reference to FIG. 1, a function signal transmitted from a plurality of terminals 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message, may be wirelessly processed or an SMS broadcast message may be sent to the terminal 70. The base station 71 for relaying, the MSC 72 controlling the transmission function of the call signal or SMS broadcast message input via the base station 71, and the SMS 70 connected to the MSC 72 to the terminal 70. SMS message center 73 for providing a message or an SMS broadcast message.

Here, the SMS data processed by the SMS message center 73 can be largely divided into a point to point method and a broadcasting method, and a point to point method is an SMS message center. In step (73), it checks the state of the terminal and is responsible for completing the transmission to the end. On the other hand, the broadcasting method is a method of transmitting a message to all terminals that can simultaneously receive a message through a paging channel.

On the other hand, looking at the operation of the conventional mobile communication system as described above, if the user of the terminal 70 wants to transmit the information desired by the user to the other terminal to the other terminal to the terminal 70 the user of the terminal 70 Use the keypad (not shown) to select the appropriate menu and then enter the required character. When the text input is completed through the above process, the user of the terminal 70 presses a transmission button together with the destination telephone number. Then, the terminal 70 loads the text data input by the current user in an SMS message, that is, when the length of the text message is short, puts it in a data burst message and transmits it through an access channel. On the other hand, if the length of the text message is long, it is transmitted as a service option 6 in a data burst message and transmitted through a reverse traffic channel.

Accordingly, the SMS message signal of the terminal 70 is input to and stored in the SMS message center 73 via the base station 71 and the MSC 72. Then, the SMS message center 73 checks the destination phone number of the input SMS message and transmits it to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 transmits the SMS message signal transmitted from the SMS message center 73 to the counterpart mobile phone 74. In addition, the counterpart terminal 74 analyzes the received SMS message signal and displays the corresponding signal on a display, and stores the same in a main memory area, for example, a flash memory (not shown).

Here, the SMS message center 73 notifies the terminal 70 via the MSC 72 and the base station 71 if the transmitted SMS message signal fails to be transmitted to the destination terminal 74. Then, the user of the terminal 70 checks the transmission error screen displayed on the LCD of the terminal 70 and presses the retransmission button or stores the currently transmitted SMS message signal in the main memory area of the terminal.

When the terminal 70 presses the resend button in the process, it checks the SMS message center 73 through the base station 71 and the MSC 72 and retransmits the currently requested SMS message signal.

Of course, the SMS function is equally applicable to WLL terminals and wired and wireless telephones including the mobile communication terminal described above.

However, the conventional wired / wireless communication terminal system as described above has a limitation in the capacity of the main memory capable of receiving SMS messages, and thus rejects all SMS messages exceeding the memory capacity. In addition, since there is no function to separately manage the contents of SMS messages received after the memory capacity is exceeded, the user cannot receive SMS messages sent to the user at all. Therefore, the functionality of the wired / wireless communication terminal system is considerably reduced. There was a problem letting.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the conventional problems as described above, and when the received SMS message exceeds the set main memory capacity, the excess SMS message is temporarily transferred to the message buffer memory unit according to priority. The present invention provides a wired / wireless communication terminal system equipped with an SMS message management function capable of receiving an SMS message without being limited by the main memory capacity and thus improving the efficiency of SMS message management. The purpose is.

Another object of the present invention is that when the capacity of the message buffer memory unit to which the SMS message is transferred is exceeded by processing all the excess SMS messages to the e-mail address set by the user, SMS messages are deleted due to the memory capacity occurs Therefore, the present invention provides a wired / wireless communication terminal system equipped with an SMS message management function which significantly improves the functionality of the communication terminal, and a control method thereof.

 According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wired / wireless communication terminal system, including: a control unit controlling a management function of an SMS message received by the terminal system; and an SMS storing a SMS message signal processed by the control unit. It provides a wired and wireless communication terminal system having an SMS message management function including a memory unit and a second memory unit for storing the SMS message transferred from the first memory unit in accordance with the message management control signal of the control unit.

According to another aspect of the present invention, in the wired / wireless communication terminal system, when an SMS message is received from the outside, an SMS message storage confirmation step of confirming whether the received SMS message can be stored in the first memory unit is included in the SMS message storage confirmation step. A message storing step of storing the received SMS message in the first memory unit if the SMS message received by the first memory unit can be stored in the first memory unit; SMS message priority determining step of discriminating and selecting SMS messages stored in the first memory unit according to a preset priority when not possible to be stored in the first memory unit, and transferring as the capacity of the main memory is exceeded after the SMS message priority determining step. SM consisting of a message transfer step of transferring the selected SMS message to the second memory unit and stored for identification Provides a control method of a wired and wireless communication terminal system equipped with a message management function.

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

As an example of the wired / wireless communication terminal system of the present invention, in particular, the mobile communication terminal will be described with reference to FIG. 2, the codec unit 2 for processing the audio signal input and output through the handset 1, and the codec unit ( 2) an MSM unit 3 for processing an RF signal input / output through 2) and transmitting to another communication device or controlling a management function of an SMS message transmitted and received, and an SMS message signal processed by the MSM unit 3 Flash memory unit 5 for storing various processing information of the terminal 4, including the message, and a message for storing the SMS message transferred from the flash memory unit 5 in accordance with the message management control signal of the MSM unit (3) A buffer memory 6.

One end of the MSM unit 3 is connected to a key panel unit 7 for inputting a function setting signal of a user and an LCD panel 8 for displaying the execution contents of the terminal 4 to the outside.

Here, the mobile communication system for processing the call of the mobile communication terminal 4 as described above, the base station 10 for wirelessly relaying function signals transmitted from the plurality of terminals 9, for example, call signals or SMS phone number messages. And an MSC 11 analyzing the call signal and time information input through the base station 10 and controlling the corresponding function, and connected to the MSC 11 to provide an SMS broadcast message to the terminal 4. And an email server 13 connected to the MSC 11 to store email data transmitted from the terminal 4 at a corresponding email address.

Here, the wired / wireless communication terminal system includes all wired and wireless telephones, WLL terminals, mobile communication terminals, and the like.

Next, a control method applied to the apparatus of the present invention as described above will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the method of the present invention proceeds to the SMS message receiving determination step S2 in the initial state S1 to determine whether an SMS message has been received at the current terminal. At this time, if the SMS message is not received by the terminal as a result of the determination of the SMS message receiving determination step (S2), the process proceeds to the general function execution step (S3) to execute the normal call mode.

That is, when the user of the terminal 4 wants to call, the telephone panel 7 inputs a telephone number. Then, when all the normal telephone numbers are input within a predetermined time, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal converts them into radio signals and transmits them to the corresponding terminal 9 via the base station 10 and the MSC 11. When a call is made with the counterpart terminal 9, the call is notified to the user through a handset 1. Then, the user allows the desired word to be input to the codec unit 2 of the terminal through the handset (1). The codec unit 2 converts a voice signal of the user input through the handset 1 into a voice signal processing, for example, an analog voice signal into a digital signal and inputs it to the MSM unit 3. In addition, the MSM unit 3 modulates a digital voice signal input from the codec unit 2, processes the RF signal, and transmits the RF signal to the counterpart terminal 9 to perform a normal voice call.

In this case, the terminal 4 normally transmits a registration message through a neighboring base station 10 even though the terminal 4 does not exchange a call signal with another terminal. The home location register (HLR) or the visitor location (VLR) of the MSC 11 is used. register will continue to register.

However, if the SMS message is received in the current terminal as a result of the determination during the SMS message receiving determination step (S2), the process proceeds to the SMS message storage determination step (S4) to determine whether the received SMS message can be stored in the main memory means. . At this time, if the received SMS message is possible to be stored in the main memory means as a result of the determination during the SMS message storage determination step (S4), that is, if the received SMS messages do not exceed the capacity of the set main memory (S5). Proceed to save the received SMS message in main memory.

However, if the received SMS message is not able to be stored in the main memory means as a result of the determination during the SMS message storage determining step (S4), that is, if the received SMS messages exceed the set capacity of the main memory, the SMS message has priority. Proceeds to the ranking determination step S6.

At this time, in the SMS message priority determining step (S6), the SMS message stored in the main memory is discriminated and selected according to a preset priority. After the SMS message priority determination step (S6), the message transfer step (S7) is carried out, and the SMS message discriminated and selected for transfer is transferred to the message buffer memory as the capacity of the main memory is exceeded.

On the other hand, after the message transfer step (S7) proceeds to the message buffer memory capacity exceeding determination step (S8) to determine whether the storage capacity of the current message buffer memory is exceeded due to the transferred SMS message. At this time, if the storage capacity of the message buffer memory is not yet completely occupied as a result of the determination in the message buffer memory exceeding determination step (S8), the process returns to the previous step (S7) and repeats the loop. However, when the message buffer memory capacity exceeding determination step (S8) determines that the storage capacity of the message buffer memory is completely filled with the SMS message, the process proceeds to the message email transmission step (S9) and all SMS messages currently stored in the message buffer memory. Add an email address to the message center and send SMS messages from the message center to the attached email address.

In other words, the MSM unit 3 of the wired / wireless communication terminal 4 receives an SMS message from the outside when it is received, for example, as a data burst message of a paging channel or a traffic channel. In addition to displaying on the LCD panel 8, the main memory, that is, the flash memory unit 5 is stored. At this time, the MSM unit 3 checks the capacity of the flash memory unit 5, and if the flash memory unit 5 is filled with the received SMS message, the MSM unit 12 sends a cause code to the SMS server 12. It sends a message to the other terminal to send a message after that tells you that it is difficult to receive the message.

Here, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 4 of the present invention selects and selects a predetermined number of SMS messages stored in the flash memory unit 5 according to the set priorities when the flash memory unit 5 is full. Transfer to and store in the memory 6.

For example, the priority is, first, select the oldest message among the SMS messages stored in the flash memory unit 5. If it cannot be selected in this way, secondly, among the SMS messages stored in the flash memory unit 5, the messages are selected in the order of normal, urgent, and emergency. In addition, if the second method is not selected, third, the message size is transferred in order of the largest.

However, in the process, if the message buffer memory 6 is also filled with the transferred SMS message, the MSM unit 3 adds all the SMS messages currently stored in the message buffer memory 6 to the set email address. To the SMS server 12 via a data burst message. Then, the SMS server 12 receives the SMS message and attaches the corresponding SMS messages to the attached email address to the email server 13 through the MSC 11.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the received SMS message exceeds the set main memory capacity, the received SMS message is temporarily transferred to the message buffer memory unit according to the priority, thereby storing the received SMS message in the main memory capacity. Since it can be received without being limited, it has the advantage of improving the efficiency of SMS message management accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, when the capacity of the message buffer memory unit to transfer the SMS message is exceeded, by processing all the excess SMS messages to the e-mail address set by the user, SMS messages are deleted due to the memory capacity occurs Therefore, the functionality of the communication terminal is also significantly improved accordingly.
