Abstract

A method for providing calling information in a mobile communication system. When a called mobile communication terminal is in a state in which it cannot be connected to or a calling mobile communication terminal cancels a call connection request while the call connection request is in progress, the present invention converts a calling number of a mobile communication terminal attempting to make a call connection into a short message, and transmits the short message having the calling number to the called mobile communication terminal.

Claims

1. A method for providing calling information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

performing a call connection operation between an arbitrary communication terminal and a called mobile communication terminal, after receiving a call connection request from the arbitrary communication terminal; and

if there is a call origination cancel request from the arbitrary communication terminal during the call connection operation, extracting calling information of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the calling information into a message, and transmitting the message having the calling information to the called mobile communication terminal.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising the step of:

upon receiving a call connection operation result, if the call connection operation between the arbitrary communication terminal and the called mobile communication terminal fails, extracting calling information of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the calling information into a message, and transmitting the message having the calling information to the called mobile communication terminal.

4. The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.

5. A method for providing calling information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

if an arbitrary communication terminal transmits a call connection request, performing a call connection operation;

upon receiving a call connection operation result, if the call connection operation fails, connecting the arbitrary communication terminal to a voice message server, and determining whether a voice message transmission request is received from the arbitrary communication terminal; and

if there is no voice message transmission request from the arbitrary communication terminal, extracting calling information of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the calling information into a message, and transmitting the message having the calling information to a called mobile communication terminal.

6. The method as set forth in claim 5, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.

7. The method as set forth in claim 5, further comprising the step of:

if there is a call origination cancel request from the arbitrary communication terminal during the call connection operation, extracting calling information of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the calling information into a message, and transmitting the message having the calling information to the called mobile communication terminal.

8. The method as set forth in claim 7, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.

9. A method for providing calling information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:

performing a call connection operation between an arbitrary communication terminal and a called mobile communication terminal, after receiving a call connection request message from the arbitrary communication terminal;

upon receiving a call connection operation result, if the call connection operation fails, analyzing the call connection request message; and

upon receiving an analyzed result, if the call connection request message includes a message conversion code, extracting calling information of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the calling information into a message, and transmitting the message having the calling information to the called mobile communication terminal.

10. The method as set forth in claim 9, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.

11. The method as set forth in claim 9, further comprising the steps of:

if there is a call origination cancel request from the arbitrary communication terminal during the call connection operation, analyzing the call connection request message; and

upon receiving an analyzed result, if the call connection request message includes a message conversion code, extracting a phone number of the arbitrary communication terminal, converting the phone number into a message, and transmitting the message having the phone number to the called mobile communication terminal.

12. The method as set forth in claim 11, wherein the message having the calling information is one of an SMS (Short Message Service) and an MMS (Multimedia Message Service) message.
