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

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a multimedia messaging service (MMS) support system for a landline telephone subscriber according to the present invention.

The multimedia messaging service (MMS) system of the landline telephone subscriber according to the present invention is based on the incoming trigger of the exchange 13 in order for the landline telephone subscriber using the PC 16 to provide his location information or other information to the MMS. Receives the caller's calling number to the PC 16, and prevents the landline subscriber from separately entering the caller's mobile number or the landline telephone number provided with the MMS function (first embodiment below), and does not use a PC. For subscribers of landline telephones, the user can provide his / her location information or other information to the MMS by accessing the intelligent network with a specific intelligent network access number, by entering the telephone number of the caller who wants to receive the information, or by being automatically transmitted by the incoming trigger function. (Second embodiment below).

First, in order to use a multimedia messaging service (MMS) support system of a landline telephone subscriber according to the present invention, a landline telephone subscriber must register a service. Therefore, for the incoming call to the registered wired telephone subscriber, the caller's telephone number (calling number) is transferred to the intelligent network service system based on the incoming trigger function during the call (including the initial call connection process) or immediately after the end of the call. Delivered. Here, the time point for transmitting the calling number to the intelligent network service system 15 by the incoming trigger function is possible at any time during call establishment (first call connection process), during a call, or immediately after the end of a call.

At this time, the landline telephone subscriber using the PC 16 registers his or her PC 16 IP address together so that the intelligent network service system 15 transmits the calling number to his PC 16 and is busy. Or immediately after the end of the call by clicking only the MMS transmission button on their PC (wired telephone subscriber PC 16) to the caller (MMS capable calling terminal (11 or 12) MMS) of their location information or promotion (advertisement) information It may be provided (first embodiment below). At this time, a plurality of caller numbers exist on the MMS transmission screen of the PC 16 (in the meantime, caller IDs received by landline telephone subscribers are arranged in call order), and among them, the desired caller ID is selected to select his / her location information or publicity ( Advertisement) information may be provided to the corresponding sender (MMS capable calling terminal 11 or 12) by MMS. In this case, when the incoming landline telephone subscriber requests the transmission of the MMS through the MMS transmission button on his PC 16, the caller's request (i.e., the location information or other promotion of the landline telephone subscriber) in the call process with the caller Advertisement) should be requested to MMS), so it will be at least during a call or immediately after the call ends.

However, it is noted that the PC 16 of the wireline subscriber is not limited to the type of the terminal as long as data communication is possible through wired or wireless communication. Therefore, a terminal capable of transmitting MMS through a wired or wireless packet network (Internet, LAN, mobile communication network, wireless LAN, portable Internet, etc.) is sufficient.

First, a first embodiment of a multimedia messaging service (MMS) support system for a landline telephone subscriber according to the present invention is a caller (wireless communication terminal) to a landline telephone subscriber (a wireline telephone subscriber telephone 14) using a PC 16. (11) or when the MMS capable landline telephone 12 calls and requests the location information or other information of the subscriber of the landline telephone, the incoming call of the exchange 13 during the call (including the initial call connection process) or after the call is terminated. Since the calling number is transmitted to the wired telephone subscriber PC 16 through the intelligent network service system 15 on the basis of the trigger, the wired telephone subscriber can use his or her own information (wired telephone) with a click of a button on the PC 16 during or after a call. Location information of the subscriber (restaurant, etc.), promotion (advertisement) information, etc.) may be provided to the caller's wireless communication terminal 11 or the wired telephone 12 equipped with the MMS function.

To this end, looking at the configuration of a multimedia messaging service support system for subscribers of wired telephones, it connects the calling party's telephone call, and the calling terminal based on the incoming trigger during the call (including the initial call connection process) or after the call is terminated (wireless communication). Switch 13 for delivering the telephone number (calling number) of the terminal (11) or MMS capable landline telephone (12) to the intelligent network service system 15, and 'MMS that supports the' MMS mapped to the called number MMS request of the called party through the intelligent network service system 15 for delivery to the subscriber terminal (wired telephone subscriber PC) 16) and the subscriber terminal (wired telephone subscriber PC) 16) during or after a call. In accordance with the present invention, the information previously registered by the called party (location information of the wired telephone subscriber (restaurant, etc.), public information (advertisement), etc. to the calling terminal (wireless communication terminal 11 or MMS capable of MMS 12) by MMS. To transmit And a content providing server 17.

On the other hand, the second embodiment of the multimedia messaging service (MMS) support system of the landline telephone subscriber according to the present invention provides a caller (wireless communication) to a landline telephone subscriber (wired telephone subscriber telephone 14) that does not use the PC 16. When the terminal 11 or the MMS capable landline telephone 12 makes a call and requests location information or other information of the landline telephone subscriber, the landline telephone subscriber who does not use the PC 16 is busy (for example, a call). Press and hold the # button to automatically connect to the intelligent network service system 15 or after the call is terminated, access the intelligent network service system 15 with a specific intelligent network access number (for example, 1588-xxxx), and caller's telephone number. By inputting the (calling number) (Example 2-1), the sender's wireless communication terminal 11 or MMS function can transmit its own information (location information of public telephone subscribers (restaurants, etc.), promotion (advertisement) information, etc.). To landline telephone (12) It may provide.

At this time, during the call (e.g., automatically connected to the intelligent network service system 15 by pressing and holding the # button during a call) or after the end of the call to the landline telephone subscriber to the specific intelligent network access number (for example, 1588-xxxx) Network connection, the caller's telephone number (calling number) is automatically transmitted to the intelligent network service system 15 based on the incoming trigger of the switch 13 (Example 2-2). Even if the caller ID is not inputted separately, the information of the landline telephone subscriber (location information of the landline telephone subscriber (restaurant, etc.), public information (advertisement), etc.) is transmitted to the caller's wireless terminal 11 or the MMS function. It may be provided to the telephone 12. However, even in this case, for more reliable MMS transmission, it would be more desirable that the caller input process of the incoming landline telephone subscriber be preceded together when accessing the intelligent network.

In response to the MMS request of the intelligent network service system 15 and the called party, the called party registers corresponding information (location information of a wired telephone subscriber (restaurant, etc.), public information (advertisement), etc.) as an MMS terminal (wireless communication terminal ( 11) or a content providing server 17 for transmitting to MMS capable wireline telephone (12).

The intelligent network service system 15 uses the intelligent network service system 15 by pressing and holding the # button during a call (for example, during a call) through the called terminal (the wired telephone subscriber phone 14) through his / her landline telephone subscriber. ), Or when a specific intelligent network access number (for example, 1588-xxxx) is pressed after the call ends, when the intelligent network service system 15 is connected, the calling party number automatically transferred by the incoming call trigger from the exchange 13 is displayed. The MMS may be transmitted by forwarding to the content providing server 17 (Example 2-2).

However, the intelligent network service system 15 uses the intelligent network service system 15 by allowing the incoming landline telephone subscriber to press and hold the # button during a call (for example, during a call) through his or her called terminal (the wired telephone subscriber telephone 14). Caller's phone number (caller number) entered directly from the called party when the user accesses the intelligent network service system 15 by pressing a specific intelligent network access number (for example, 1588-xxxx) after the call is terminated. In step 17, MMS transmission may be requested (embodiment 2-1 above).

According to the first and second embodiments of the present invention as described above, the PC 16 to the caller who wants to receive the location information or other information of the landline telephone subscriber using the PC 16 or the landline telephone subscriber not available. Subscribers to landline phone using the customer's phone number (calling number) is automatically delivered to the PC (16) can provide their location information or promotion (advertisement) information, such as MMS, PC (16) to use Unable to wireline subscribers can connect to the intelligent network with a specific intelligent network access number to enter the customer's telephone number to provide their location information or promotional (advertisement) information, such as MMS.
