First Claim
1. A method of providing a file transfer service through a mobile communication network, comprising:
- storing a data file and transfer conditioning information at a server, the data file and the transfer conditioning information having been received from a first mobile terminal connected through the mobile communication network;
transmitting information from the server, the information for transferring the data file through the mobile communication network being based on the stored transfer conditioning information;
checking response information sent from a second mobile terminal answering to said information for transferring the data file; and
transferring the data file from the server to the second mobile terminal based on the checked response information, wherein said transfer conditioning information includes a blocking time period set in the first mobile terminal by a user of when to block a file transfer from the server to the second mobile terminal.

Abstract
A method is provided for determining whether to transfer an audio, video, or text data file, requested to be transferred through a mobile station, based on a specified transfer condition and/or file size, and transferring the data file to a destined mobile terminal connected through a mobile communication network. The method stores a data file and transfer conditioning information thereof, which contains information on file size and/or transfer blocking time zone and a destination terminal, received from a calling mobile terminal connected through the mobile communication network, selects a data file to transfer and determines whether to transfer the selected data file based on the transfer conditioning information, and transmits the selected data file to a called mobile terminal specified as destination by the transfer conditioning information.
