Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for remotely controlling a device through a mobile network, and a device which converts a command into a text which is recorded in a short message field of an SMS message when a user inputs the command for remote control, transmits the text by dividing the text into a plurality of SMS messages in case the length of the text is longer than the size of the short message field, and delivers various SMS commands to a remote device through the SMS message regardless of the length of the text by determining the command by using information included in the text.
Claims25
A method of controlling a remote device by using a messaging service, the method comprising:
- dividing a text for controlling the remote device, into a plurality of text portions;
- generating a plurality of messaging service messages, each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprising one of the text portions as independent user data;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of messaging service messages to the remote device,
- wherein each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprises information necessary for the remote device to restore the text from the plurality of messaging service messages.
A method of processing a messaging service message, the method comprising:
- extracting a text portion from each data field of a plurality of messaging service messages;
- restoring the entire text by combining the extracted text portions;
- determining a command by using the restored, entire text;
- and
- executing the determined command,
- wherein each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprises information necessary to restore the entire text from the plurality of messaging service messages.

- generating a plurality of messaging service messages, each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprising one of the text portions as independent data;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of messaging service messages to the remote device, wherein each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprises information necessary for the remote device to restore the text from the plurality of messaging service messages.
A messaging service processor, comprising:
- a memory in which at least one program is stored;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the at least one program,
- wherein the at least one program comprises instructions for executing a method comprising:
- extracting a text portion from each user data field of a plurality of messaging service messages;
- restoring the entire text by combining the extracted text portions;
- determining a command by using the restore, entire text;
- and
- executing the determined command,
- wherein each of the plurality of messaging service messages comprises information necessary to restore the entire text from the plurality of messaging service messages.
