Claims22
A system of providing picture information in a mobile communication network comprising:
- a plurality of mobile terminals, each with a display device for displaying a picture information;
- a plurality of base station which process originating and terminating call signals of said plurality of mobile terminals and allocate a channel for transmitting a picture information of an originating mobile terminal to a terminating mobile terminal;
- a mobile switching center which receives and processes said originating and terminating call signals from said plurality of the base station, and transmits the picture information of the originating mobile terminal to the terminating mobile terminal through the allocated channel;
- a picture service controller which stores the picture information of the originating mobile terminal and outputs the picture information of the originating mobile terminal to the mobile switching center;
- and
- a communication service provider operating center which registers users of said plurality of mobile terminals and controls the picture information service.
A system of providing caller identification information in a mobile communication network comprising:
- a plurality of mobile terminals, each with a display device for displaying a caller information;
- a plurality of base station which process originating and terminating call signals of said plurality of mobile terminals and allocate a channel for transmitting a caller information of an originating mobile terminal to a terminating mobile terminal;
- a mobile switching center which receives and processes said originating and terminating call signals from said plurality of the base station, and transmits the caller information of the originating mobile terminal to the terminating mobile terminal through the allocated channel;
- a picture service controller which stores the caller information of the originating mobile terminal and outputs the caller information of the originating mobile terminal to the mobile switching center;
- and
- a communication service provider operating center which registers users of said plurality of mobile terminals and controls the caller information service.
A caller information transmitting method in a mobile communication network with a picture service controller for storing and managing caller information of a plurality of mobile terminal users, the method comprising:
- transmitting a request from a mobile switching center to the picture service controller for a search and transmission of a caller information of a first mobile terminal, if the a first mobile terminal requests for a call connection to a second mobile terminal;
- searching and transmitting from the picture service controller the caller information of the first mobile terminal to the mobile switching center;
- and
- transmitting from the mobile switching center the caller information and a paging signal of the first mobile station to the second mobile terminal.
A mobile terminal with a caller identifier, comprising:
- a caller identifier detecting unit which detects a caller identifier from an input data and receives a caller information including picture information transmitted along a radio channel if the caller identifier corresponds to its own caller identifier;
- a signal processing unit which processes and outputs the caller information received by the caller identifier detecting unit;
- a control unit which controls storage and output of the processed caller information;
- a memory which stores the processed caller information from the signal processing unit under the control of the control unit;
- a display unit which displays the caller information output from the signal processing unit under the control of the control unit;
- and
- a picture size converting unit which converts the caller information to a predetermined size.
