System and method for providing service to end-point terminal in cpns environment, and cpns server, mobile communication terminal, and end-point terminal for the same

A CPNS server, comprising:

• a communication interface unit for performing communication over a mobile communication network;
• a certification processing unit for performing a certification procedure based on pieces of terminal information about the mobile communication terminal and an end-point terminal received from the mobile communication terminal;
• a constant request and reception unit for requesting reserved content from a content providing server and receiving the reserved content from the content providing server;
• a service providing unit for providing CPNS, including the reserved content, to the end-point terminal via the mobile communication terminal;
• and
• a database for storing information relevant to the CPNS server.

A mobile communication terminal, comprising:

• a wireless communication unit for performing communication over a mobile communication network or a near field radio communication network;
• a reservation information registration unit for receiving a CPNS reservation request from an end-point terminal and registering reservation information based on the CPNS reservation request;
• an end-point terminal search unit for searching for the end-point terminal which has requested the CPNS reservation when a scheduled set time is reached;
• a certification information processing unit for requesting certification and CPNS from a CPNS server by transmitting its own terminal information and terminal information of the end-point terminal, retrieved by the end-point terminal search unit, to the CPNS server;
• a session processing unit for, when the CPNS server provides the CPNS, opening a CPNS session with the end-point terminal in order to provide reserved CPNS to the end-point terminal;
• and
• a service providing unit for providing the reserved CPNS, received from the CPNS server, to the end-point terminal.

An end-point terminal for performing near field radio communication with a mobile communication terminal and receiving CPNS from a CPNS server via the mobile communication terminal, the end-point terminal, comprising:

• a communication interface unit for performing communication over a near field radio communication network;
• a reservation request unit for registering CPNS reservation with the mobile communication terminal or the CPNS server in order to receive specific CPNS on a time set by a user;
• an application driving unit for waking up a relevant application in response to a command received from the mobile communication terminal in order to provide the specific CPNS;
• and
• a content request and reception unit for requesting content requested by the user by performing the near field radio communication with the mobile communication terminal.

A method of providing CPNS to an end-point terminal in a system, comprising a CPNS server, a mobile communication terminal, and an end-point terminal, in a CPNS environment, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) the mobile communication terminal receiving a CPNS reservation request from the end-point terminal and registering the CPNS reservation request;
• (b) when a scheduled set time is reached, the mobile communication terminal searching for the end-point terminal which has requested the CPNS reservation;
• (c) when terminal information about the retrieved end-point terminal is received, the mobile communication terminal requesting certification and service from the CPNS server by transmitting its own terminal information and the terminal information of the end-point terminal to the CPNS server;
• (d) the CPNS server performing a certification procedure based on the information received from the mobile communication terminal, requesting content, corresponding to reserved content, from a content providing server, receiving the requested content from the content providing server, and transmitting the received content to the mobile communication terminal;
• (e) when the CPNS server provides the CPNS, the mobile communication terminal opening a CPNS session with the end-point terminal in order to provide the reserved CPNS to the end-point terminal;
• and
• (f) the end-point terminal waking up an application in response to a command of the mobile communication terminal and executing CPNS information received from the mobile communication terminal.

A method of providing CPNS to an end-point terminal in a system, comprising a CPNS server, a mobile communication terminal, and an end-point terminal, in a CPNS environment, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) the CPNS server receiving a CPNS reservation request from the end-point terminal via the mobile communication terminal and registering the received CPNS reservation request;
• (b) when a scheduled set time is reached, the CPNS server requesting the mobile communication terminal to search for the end-point terminal which has requested the CPNS reservation and to return certification information to the CPNS server;
• (c) when terminal information is received from the retrieved end-point terminal, the mobile communication terminal requesting certification and service from the CPNS server by transmitting its own terminal information and the terminal information of the end-point terminal to the CPNS server;
• (d) the CPNS server performing a certification procedure based on the information received from the mobile communication terminal, requesting content, corresponding to reserved content, from the content providing server, receiving the requested content from the content providing server, and transmitting the received content to the mobile communication terminal;
• (e) when the CPNS server provides the CPNS, the mobile communication terminal opening a CPNS session with the end-point terminal in order to provide reserved CPNS to the end-point terminal;
• and
• (f) the end-point terminal waking up an application in response to a command of the mobile communication terminal and executing CPNS information received from the mobile communication terminal.
