Claims27
A system for sending/receiving a SMS between CDMA subscriber terminals that are capable of sending/receiving SMS and/or MMS in a CDMA network, the system comprising:
- a HLR for storing and managing subscriber information, a SMS service profile having attribute information and subscription information related to a coordination service for decorating a SMS, and location information of a subscriber terminal;
- a PCX/MSC (Personal Communication eXchange/Mobile Switching Center) for receiving and storing the SMS service profile from the HLR when a location of the sending CDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a sending terminal) is registered, and recording the SMS service profile to a SMDPP (Short Message Deliver Point to Point) message and sends the SMDPP message to a SMSC (Short Message Service Center) in case a SMS is sent from the sending terminal;
- a SMSC for recording the attribute information to a DELIVER message and sends the DELIVER message to a message converting center in case a subscription of the coordination service is set in the SMS service profile;
- and
- a message converting center for converting the SMS into a coordination message by decorating the SMS based on the attribute information, and sends the coordination message to the receiving CDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving terminal) via the SMSC.
A method for decorating a SMS sent from a sending CDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a sending terminal) to a receiving CDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving terminal), the method comprising:
- (a) receiving SMS service profile information of the corresponding sending subscriber having attribute information and subscription information related to a message coordination service for decorating a SMS from a HLR when a location of the sending terminal is registered, and storing and managing the SMS service profile information in a PCX/MSC where the sending terminal is located;
- (b) the sending subscriber making a SMS using the sending terminal, and sending the SMS to the PCX/MSC where the sending terminal is located via a BTS;
- (c) determining based on the SMS service profile information of the sending subscriber whether the corresponding sending subscriber is subscribed to the message coordination service;
- (d) recording the SMS service profile information to a SMDPP message and sending the SMDPP message to a SMSC, in case the sending subscriber is subscribed to the message coordination service;
- (e) recording the SMS in a DELIVER message and sending the DELIVER message to a message converting center, in case the message coordination service is activated in the SMS service profile information;
- (f) decorating the SMS into a coordination message based on a format previously registered by the sending subscriber;
- and
- (g) sending the decorated coordination message to the receiving terminal via the SMSC.
A system for sending/receiving a SMS between WCDMA subscriber terminals capable of sending/receiving a SMS and/or MMS in a WCDMA network, the system comprising:
- a DS-HLR for storing and managing subscriber information, a SMS service profile having attribute information and subscription information related to a coordination service for decorating a SMS, and location information of a subscriber terminal;
- a MSC/SGSN (Mobile Switching Center/Serving GPRS Supporting Node) for receiving and storing the SMS service profile from the DS-HLR when a location of the sending WCDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a sending terminal) is registered, and recording the SMS service profile to a message and sends the message to a DS-SMSC holding a receiving subscriber in case a SMS is sent from the sending terminal;
- a DS-SMSC for sending the SMS to a message converting center, in case a subscription of the coordination service is set in the SMS service profile;
- and
- a message converting center for converting the SMS into a coordination message by decorating the SMS based on the attribute information, and sends the coordination message to the receiving WCDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving terminal) via the DS-SMSC.
A method for decorating a SMS sent from a sending WCDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a sending terminal) to a receiving WCDMA subscriber terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a receiving terminal), the method comprising:
- (a) receiving SMS service profile information of the corresponding sending subscriber having attribute information and subscription information related to a message coordination service for decorating a SMS from a DS-HLR when a location of the sending terminal is registered, and storing and managing the SMS service profile information in a MSC/SGSN where the sending terminal is located;
- (b) the sending subscriber making a SMS using the sending terminal, and sending the SMS to the MSC/SGSN where the sending terminal is located via a RTS;
- (c) determining based on the SMS service profile information of the sending subscriber whether the corresponding sending subscriber is subscribed to the message coordination service;
- (d) recording the SMS service profile information to a Forward_SM message and sending the Forward_SM message to a DS-SMSC, in case the sending subscriber is subscribed to the message coordination service;
- (e) recording the SMS in a DELIVER message and sending the DELIVER message to a message converting center, in case the message coordination service is activated in, the SMS service profile information;
- (f) decorating the SMS into a coordination message based on a format previously registered by the sending subscriber;
- and
- (g) sending the decorated coordination message to the receiving terminal via the DS-SMSC.
