Description

Data management method in mobile terminal

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for managing information of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a method for managing information of a mobile terminal that enables the management of information of a mobile terminal over a radio (OTASP).

The mobile communication system is composed of a mobile station (hereinafter referred to as a mobile terminal), a base station (BTS), a base station controller (BSC) and a mobile switching center (MSC), wherein the mobile terminal is a digital cellular network (DCN). Mobile terminal (PCS), such as Personal Communication Service (PCS), the base station changes the signal format between the mobile terminal and the base station controller to suit the wireless link and wired link, the base station controller It is a means of access between each function and cell operator.It manages base station operation, service state of hardware and software in base station, resource allocation and configuration for call traffic, base station operation information collection, base station operation and monitoring. And a lower device related to fixing. The mobile switching center then configures access points for user traffic between the base station controller management and the mobile communications network and the mobile switching center of the general telephone network or the same mobile communication system.

In general, a mobile terminal can be folded by separating a liquid crystal display (LCD) portion and a keypad portion of a terminal, such as a lid attached to a bar-shaped bar or bar-type keypad. There is a clamshell, and in recent years, there has been a watch phone configured with a terminal in a clock shape.

Such mobile terminals were initially used only for voice communication, but recently, they are also used for data communication. Examples of such mobile terminals are mobile services using a location information providing service using a mobile terminal and an internet phone that enables access to the Internet without a computer. It is also used for e-mail processing and e-commerce (securities, tickets, train tickets, etc.).

Recently, AM or FM radio broadcasts using mobile terminals or MP3 music (file extension mp3) are downloaded from the Internet, stored in the mobile terminal, and played back when needed. Mobile terminals are being developed. As described above, a method of storing a mobile terminal MP3 file may be connected to a mobile terminal and a PC using a multimedia card as a receptacle to download and use the MP3 file in the Internet and PC communication.

Here, the receptacle is a cable for communicating with the Internet or a PC using a mobile terminal, one side of the receptacle is connected to the data communication terminal (usually located below the mobile terminal) of the mobile terminal and the tile side is connected to the printer port of the computer The computer transmits the MP3 music of the Internet or PC communication from the computer to the memory device of the mobile terminal.

In addition, as mobile services continue to increase due to the expansion of wireless services, users are continuously purchasing new mobile terminals as new types of mobile terminals come in various functions.

The replacement cycle of the mobile terminal is known to be about 6 months to 2 years.

These mobile terminals provide an address book that can store frequently used phone numbers. In the case of the latest models, the contents of the address book are increased, and a larger number of address books can be stored. However, the current method of inputting a phone number or other information into the address book is a method of directly inputting one by one using the keypad of the terminal and connecting the computer and the terminal using a cable, and then writing data on the computer using a receptacle. I am using a method of transmitting to a terminal.

However, in the address book management of the conventional mobile terminal, the address book input method using the keypad of the mobile terminal is inconvenient to operate the keypad. Therefore, the user needs to press several keypads when using a single text. In order to synchronize information between a mobile terminal and a personal computer or a terminal and a computing device, a serial cable receptacle is used. Therefore, synchronization is not possible in an environment in which a serial cable is not prepared. There is a problem in that additional costs for using the receptacle are consumed, and relatively few are used after purchase.

An object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, it is possible to manage the address book of the mobile terminal from a computer, and the working address book (OTASP: Over-The Air Service) It is to provide a method for managing information of a mobile terminal using a method of transmitting to a mobile terminal over a radio such as provisioning.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the mobile terminal user accesses a web server for managing the information of the mobile terminal using a web browser, the information of the mobile terminal through the web server Editing and transmitting the edited information to the mobile terminal over the air.

Preferably, the step of transmitting the edited information to the mobile terminal over the air consists of converting the edited information into OTASP data and transmitting the same.

According to the present invention as described above, there is an advantage that the information management of the mobile terminal is easy.

Hereinafter, a configuration and an operation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an information management system of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

The information management system of a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes a World Wide Web server 13 for controlling access to resources of a communication network on a communication network, a mobile terminal user 11, WWW browser 12 connecting the WWW server 13, a database 14 connected to the WWW server 13 to store various information, and connected to the WWW server 13 to move. An over-the-air (OTA) service provider 15 that provides a variety of information over the air to the terminal 16.

The present invention as described above is to provide a variety of information (for example, an address book) function stored in the existing mobile terminal 11 through OTP (hereinafter, abbreviated as OTASP).

Here, OTASP is briefly described as a service that allows subscribers to directly subscribe and use the terminal purchased through a convenience store or other shopping malls in order to alleviate the inconvenience of a subscriber visiting a mobile communication agency and registering a subscription. Mobile supplementary services are evolving from voice data to data services and multimedia services, and various supplementary services are currently proposed around the data services. The OTASP service provides subscribers and operators through reliable data communication between voice calls. It simplifies the complex process of registration between livers and provides the ability to support secure and secure registration procedures in real time.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method for transmitting information to a mobile terminal in the information management system shown in FIG. 1.

In the information management system of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, a method of transmitting information to a mobile terminal may be divided into user authentication, user input, and data transmission.

The user 11 accesses the homepage of a service provider that manages the WWW server 13 through the WWW browser 12 for information management using the OTASP service. In this case, in order to prevent the information of any user 11 from leaking to others, the service provider causes the user 11 to undergo an authentication procedure for identity verification.

Such authentication can be handled through a verification process that allows the general WWW server 13 to enter an identifier (ID) and password. At this time, when the authentication process is completed, the user 11 may view a WWW page for inputting an address book corresponding to the type of the mobile terminal 16 of the user 11. After the authentication process, the OTA service provider 15 confirms the user 11 with the mobile terminal 16 number and model. Subsequently, the user 11 may check existing information and the like of the mobile terminal 16 thereof.

Through this page, the user 11 inputs and collects (edits) information (data) to be stored in his mobile terminal 16 through a computer (S11). At this time, for example, information (data) inputs and collects address book data commonly used in the mobile terminal 16. In addition, the user's input of information is provided using a form of HTML (Hiper Text Markup Language) which is provided by WWW. That is, the user may input or modify data desired by the user using the input window of the HTML document. HTML is the language for creating hypertext documents.

Next, the input and collected information are converted (generated) into OTASP data (S12). In this case, the conversion is such that when the user 11 selects a conversion from the service provider, the user 11 changes to OTASP data in a format promised to the OST service provider 15 and the mobile terminal 16.

Subsequently, the OTASP service provider 15 transmits the information to the mobile terminal 11 according to the command of the user 11 (S13).

Next, the user 11 or the OTASP service provider 15 determines whether the OTASP data has been successfully transmitted (S14).

If the determination result (S14) is successful, the connection is terminated. At this time, the edited data may be stored in the service provider's database 14 for later use, or may be deleted after transmission through OTASP for privacy.

However, if the transmission fails in the determination result (S14) (S13). This is because such a transmission failure may be caused when the channel environment is poor or one case.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an information processing method of a mobile terminal according to information transmission of the information management system shown in FIG. 2.

In the information processing method of the mobile terminal according to the information transmission of the information management system according to the present invention, after the data transmission as shown in FIG. 2 (S13), when the OTASP data is received (S21), the reception is successful. It is determined whether or not (S22).

If it is determined that the reception of the OTASP data has failed, the process loops to the reception of the OTASP data (S21).

However, if the determination result (S22) successfully receives the OTASP data, the OTASP data is generated (converted) into address book data in a form that can be stored in the mobile terminal 16.

Then, the information of the mobile terminal 16 (for example, the address book of the mobile terminal) is modified (or added).

As described above, the information management method of the mobile terminal of the present invention has the following effects.

First, when managing information of a mobile terminal, a keyboard is used to input or modify information, so it is convenient to input or modify information, and to use a receptacle to transmit data to a mobile terminal using a wireless method using OTASP. no need.

Second, since the service provider uses existing technologies such as OTASP and WWW, it is possible to extend the system without requiring many modifications in the current system.
