1 is a diagram briefly showing a configuration of an entire system for adding webpage access information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the entire system for adding web page access information includes a mobile communication terminal 100, a communication network 120, and a content server 130-1, 130-2, 130-3,..., 130-n, Collectively referred to as 130).

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when receiving a message from a calling terminal (not shown), the mobile communication terminal 100 adds web page access information corresponding to the received message to the received message, When a message output command is received, a message with web page access information is output. The user may be provided additional information related to the output message by using the webpage access information added to the output message.

The mobile communication terminal 100 is connected to a calling terminal (not shown) and a content server 130 providing a web service through the communication network 120. The mobile communication terminal 100 according to the present invention can be applied without limitation as long as it is a terminal capable of receiving a message from a calling terminal (not shown) with a communication means. That is, a cellular phone, a PCS phone, a PDA phone and the like are typical examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Here, the message may include a short message (SMS), a multimedia message (MMS), and the like, and the multimedia message may include a voice message.

The communication network 120 refers to a communication network capable of providing a telephone call and data communication service to a terminal employing a code division multiple access (CDMA), a time division multiple access (TDMA), a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) scheme, or the like. . If the content server 130 is a server connected to the internet network, the communication network 120 may be used as a concept including an internet network. Of course, when the content server 130 is a server operated by a mobile communication provider, it is obvious that the communication network 120 means a mobile communication network. In addition, the communication network 120 may include a base station (BTS, not shown) and a base station controller (BSC, not shown) for wireless connection with the mobile communication terminal 100. Of course, when the communication network is a WCDMA scheme, the communication network may include a Node B and an RNC. Details of the configuration of the communication network are somewhat distanced from the gist of the present invention, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the content server 130 receives a web service request from the mobile communication terminal 100, the content server 130 performs a function of providing content corresponding to the request. According to the present invention, web page access information of a web service provided by the content server 130 should be stored in advance in the mobile communication terminal 100. Accordingly, the content server 130 operator needs to provide web page access information to the mobile communication terminal 100 in advance in order to provide a web service. Of course, the web page access information may be provided in various ways, but it is omitted because it is somewhat distance from the gist of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process for adding web page access information to a received message according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In step 210, the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a message from a calling terminal (not shown). Here, the message may be a short message, that is, a text message. In addition, the message may be a multimedia message, it is preferable that the multimedia message according to the present invention is a voice message, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In operation 220, the mobile communication terminal 100 determines whether the received message is a voice message. If the received message is a voice message, the mobile communication terminal 100 converts the voice message format into a text format. Here, the text format does not refer to a specific data format, but refers to a data format in which the mobile communication terminal 100 can search a search keyword in comparison with a search keyword stored in the mobile communication terminal 100. That is, when the mobile communication terminal 100 receives the voice message, it is preferable to analyze the received voice message and convert the received voice message into a data format having the same format as a keyword stored in the indexing table of the mobile communication terminal 100. If it is determined that the received message is not a voice message, the mobile communication terminal 100 proceeds to step 240 to perform a keyword search procedure.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, when the received message is a multimedia message in an image format, the mobile communication terminal 100 analyzes the received message to search for a keyword. Can convert to format Of course, it is obvious that the message in the image format should be a message that can be read by a user.

In operation 230, the mobile communication terminal 100 searches for a keyword included in a received message among a plurality of keywords included in an indexing table stored in the mobile communication terminal 100 in advance. Here, the indexing table refers to a file including a plurality of keywords and corresponding access information. The access information may be mapped to a keyword. In addition, the access information may be URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information of the web page provided by the content server 130. The indexing table according to the present invention should be stored in the mobile communication terminal 100 in advance. The mobile communication terminal 100 may receive and store some or all of the indexing table through various paths, and the stored indexing table may be periodically upgraded. The keyword search may be performed based on whether each word included in the received message matches a keyword included in the indexing table. For example, suppose that a user of the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a message from a friend, "Do you have time on weekends? Let's go to the City Theater if there is time" and the indexing table contains the keyword "City theater." lets do it. In this case, the mobile communication terminal 100 selects 'city theater' as a keyword because the received message includes 'city theater'.

Also, the searched keyword may be two or more. For example, in the above example, when the indexing table includes the keywords 'city theater' and 'departed', the mobile communication terminal 100 may select 'city theater' and 'departed' as keywords. According to an embodiment of the present invention, all of the searched plurality of keywords may be used as keywords for extracting a web page access method. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 2, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile communication terminal 100 may determine whether two or more searched keywords are present. As a result of the determination, when there are two or more searched keywords, the mobile communication terminal 100 may select only the keyword having the highest priority in a preset order. For example, the mobile communication terminal 100 may select only 'departed' as a keyword according to the priority set in the above example. Of course, if 'city theater' is set as a priority keyword, the mobile communication terminal 100 will select 'city theater' as a keyword, not 'departed'. In this case, only the selected keyword may be used as a keyword for extracting web page access information.

In operation 250, the mobile communication terminal 100 may extract webpage access information mapped to the searched keyword. In addition, it is apparent that the above web page access information is not limited to URL information. Accordingly, the webpage access information mapped to the keyword may be access information of a content server included in the mobile communication system capable of providing the information about the keyword. However, for the convenience of clear understanding and explanation of the present invention, the following web page access information will be described as limited to URL information.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when two or more searched keywords are used, all webpage access information mapped thereto may be used as access information for providing content. For example, when the searched keywords are 'KTF' and 'city theater', the webpage access information may be URL information for accessing the 'KTF' and 'city theater' webpages. In this case, it will be apparent that the above-described procedure of selecting only the priority keywords by the mobile communication terminal 100 should be omitted.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the extracted web page access information is two or more, the mobile communication terminal 100 may select only a part of the extracted web page access information. If the retrieved webpage access information is URL information for accessing the 'KTF' and 'City Theater' webpages, the mobile communication terminal 100 may use only the URL information for accessing the 'KTF' webpage according to the preset ranking and the number of selections. You can choose.

In step 260, the mobile communication terminal 100 adds the extracted web page access information to the received message. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the message to which the access information is added may be in the form of a call back message. That is, when the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a message output command from the user, the mobile communication terminal 100 may output a message including URL information for accessing the web page, and simultaneously receive a web page access command. It can provide a 'connection' icon.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the extracted web page access information is two or more, the mobile communication terminal 100 may add two or more web page access information to the received message in the form of a selection menu. Accordingly, when a message output command of the user is input, the webpage access information may be output together with the message in the form as described above.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile communication terminal 100 has the web corresponding to the extracted web page access information in the portion of the received message matching the keyword corresponding to the access information in the received message; You can add each one to be hyperlinked to the page. For example, if the received message is "Let's go to Daehakro on weekends and see 00 dramas" and the searched keywords are "Daehakro" and "00drama", access to the webpage for providing information of the "Daehakro" and "00drama" Information will be added to the retrieved keyword. Accordingly, when the above message is output, the user may select a word that matches the searched keyword among the received messages by operating a direction key (not shown). Here, the selected word may be changed in color or font so that the user can recognize it. In this case, when the mobile communication terminal 100 receives an execution command of the selected word, the mobile communication terminal 100 may request and output webpage information hyperlinked to the selected word. In addition, when the mobile communication terminal 100 has a pointing function, the user may move a pointer using a direction key or the like to select a word that matches the searched keyword. Here, the selected word may be changed into a form that can be recognized by the user as described above.

In operation 270, when the mobile communication terminal 100 receives a message output command from the user, the mobile communication terminal 100 may output the received message according to the embodiment described above. Here, the mobile communication terminal 100 waits until a web page access command corresponding to the access information is input from the user.

In operation 280, when a webpage access command is input from the user, the mobile communication terminal 100 accesses the content server 130 corresponding to the webpage access information added to the message and transmits a webpage request message. The web page can be output for the user to watch.
