Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for receiving data by using the SMS and the wireless Internet. The method comprises the steps of receiving a short message from said service provider, wherein the short message comprises at least a service identifier and site information, determining whether or not there is an application protocol in the site information and executing an IP channel connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol, when the application protocol is in the site information, wherein the data receiving system receives data in correspondence with the application protocol from the service provider by executing the IP channel connecting program.

Claims

1. A method for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message Service) and wireless network in a data receiving system coupled with a service provider through the wireless network comprising the steps of:

receiving a short message from said service provider, wherein the short message comprises at least a service identifier and site information;

determining whether or not there is an application protocol in the site information; and

executing an IP channel connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol, when the application protocol is in the site information,

wherein the data receiving system receives data in correspondence with the application protocol from the service provider by executing the IP channel connecting program.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

dividing the short message into data fields; and

determining whether or not a user in correspondence with the data receiving system is a subscriber by using the service identifier.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the data receiving system connects to a site using a URL in correspondence with the application protocol by executing the IP channel connecting program.

4. The method of claim 1, the application protocol is at least one selected from the group consisting of HTTP, FTP, advertisement, game, stock, sports and news.

5. A user terminal system for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message Service) and wireless network coupled with a service provider through the wireless network, comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor that is coupled to said storage device,

said storage device storing a short message program and an IP channel connecting program; and

said processor operative with said short message program to

receive a short message from said service provider, wherein the short message comprises at least a service identifier and site information;

determine whether or not there is an application protocol in the site information; and

execute an IP channel connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol, when the application protocol is in the site information,

wherein the data receiving system receives data in correspondence with the application protocol from the service provider by executing the IP channel connecting program.

6. A user terminal system-readable medium having stored thereon the user terminal system-executable instructions for performing the method for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message Service) and wireless network in a data receiving system coupled with a service provider through the wireless network, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a short message from said service provider, wherein the short message comprises at least a service identifier and site information;

determining whether or not there is an application protocol in the site information; and

executing an IP channel connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol, when the application protocol is in the site information,

wherein the data receiving system receives data in correspondence with the application protocol from the service provider by executing the IP channel connecting program.
