Abstract

Disclosed is a method for connection to a wireless Internet site by using a mobile terminal such as a cellular phone or PDA, which enables to easily connect to a specific wireless Internet site through the processes of obtaining a phone number of a caller mobile terminal through a voice communication link and then sending a message containing a connection URL to the mobile terminal. Thus, this method may facilitate easy access to a wireless Internet site, so enlarging utilization of a wireless Internet and contriving expansion of data communications through mobile terminals. In addition, this method enables to access a wireless WEB site without inputting complex URLs separately, so helping to overcome limitation, existing in data communications of mobile terminals such as a cellular phone.

Claims

1. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet, particularly a server computer which operates a specific wireless Internet site, by using a mobile terminal which is capable of voice communication and data communication, the method comprising the steps of:

requesting a voice call to the server computer by using the mobile terminal;

assuring a voice communication line between the mobile terminal and the server computer and obtaining a phone number of the mobile terminal;

generating a wireless message containing a URL designating a wireless Internet site;

transmitting the wireless message to the mobile terminal on the basis of the obtained phone number; and

requesting a page designated by the URL written in the wireless message and then outputting the page through the mobile terminal.

2. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 1, further comprising the step of, at the called part, forcibly disconnecting the voice communication link established between the mobile terminal and the server computer.

4. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 2 or 3, further comprising the step of determining whether the wireless message is a message for the corresponding mobile terminal and then receiving the wireless message.

5. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 4,

wherein the wireless message further contains a Teleservice ID (TI) for identifying a service character.

6. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 5, further comprising the step of determining whether a TI written in the wireless message is coincident with a TI of the mobile terminal,

whereby the mobile terminal receives only the wireless message having the coincided TI.

7. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 6,

wherein the wireless message is a SMS (Short Message Service) in which a callback URL is written.

8. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet according to claim 2 or 3,

wherein the phone number of the mobile terminal is input into the server computer by the caller.

3. A method for connecting to a wireless Internet, particularly a server computer which operates a specific wireless Internet site, by using a mobile terminal which is capable of voice communication and data communication, the method comprising the steps of:

requesting a voice call to the server computer by using the mobile terminal;

assuring a voice communication line between the mobile terminal and the server computer and obtaining a phone number of the mobile terminal;

generating a wireless message containing a URL designating a wireless Internet site;

transmitting the wireless message to the mobile terminal on the basis of the obtained phone number;

at the calling part, forcibly disconnecting the voice communication link established between the mobile terminal and the server computer; and

requesting a page designated by the URL written in the wireless message and then outputting the page through the mobile terminal.
