Mobile communication system and method for providing real time messenger service among mobile communication terminals
First Claim
1. A mobile communication system supporting a messenger service among a plurality of mobile communication terminals, the mobile communication system comprising:
- a packet data serving node for assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address to each of the mobile communication terminals, and providing a message exchange service among the mobile communication terminals through a point-to-point protocol connection with the mobile communication terminals;
a short message server for providing a short message transmission service among the mobile communication terminals;
a host mobile communication terminal from among the mobile communication terminals for receiving the IP address through the point-to-point protocol connection with the packet data serving node, transmitting an invite message, which includes the IP address, in a short message format to the short message server, updating a buddy list using a register message received through the packet data serving node, and transmitting the updated buddy list to the packet data serving node; and
at least one client mobile communication terminal from among the mobile communication terminals for receiving the IP address through the point-to-point protocol connection with the packet data serving node when the invite message is received from the short message server, transmitting the register message, including the IP address, to the host mobile communication terminal through the packet data serving node, and receiving the updated buddy list transmitted from the host mobile communication terminal, wherein the host mobile communication terminal and the client mobile communication terminal perform a mutual messenger service through the packet data serving node.

Abstract
In a mobile communication system, a host mobile communication terminal transmits an invite message to a client mobile communication terminal by means of a short message, and the host mobile communication terminal and the client mobile communication terminal perform a mutual messenger service through a PDSN, such that a system for the messenger service may be easily constructed and a message may be quickly transmitted. Further, a host mobile communication terminal and client mobile communication terminals each perform a point-to-point protocol connection with a PDSN, and perform a mutual messenger service, such that they can exchange data having various formats, such as text messages, audio information, and data/image information stored in the terminal with each other.

6. A method for providing a messenger service among a plurality of mobile communication terminals by a mobile communication system including a host mobile communication terminal among the plurality of mobile communication terminals, at least one client mobile communication terminal among the plurality of mobile communication terminals, a short message server providing a short message service among the mobile communication terminals, and a packet data serving node for assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address to each of the mobile communication terminals through a point-to-point protocol connection with the mobile communication terminals, the method comprising the steps of:
-
requesting an IP address for the messenger service from the packet data serving node by the host mobile communication terminal;
receiving, by the host mobile communication terminal, the IP address for the messenger service from the packet data serving node;
transmitting, from the host mobile communication terminal to the at least one client mobile communication terminal, an invite message including the IP address via the short message server;
receiving, by the at least one client mobile communication terminal, the invite message;
receiving, by the at least one client mobile communication terminal, the IP address from the packet data serving node;
transmitting a register message from the at least one client mobile communication terminal to the host mobile communication terminal via the packet data serving node;
receiving, by the host mobile communication terminal, the register message from the at least one client mobile communication terminal;
updating a buddy list, by the host mobile communication terminal, using the register message;
transmitting the updated buddy list from the host mobile communication terminal to the at least one client mobile communication terminal via the packet data serving node; and
performing the mutual messenger service between the host mobile communication terminal and the at least one client mobile communication terminal using the updated buddy list. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
