First Claim
1. A system for providing zone-based personalized information to a user of a mobile communication terminal located in a specific zone among a plurality of zones within a cell serviced by a base station of a cellular network, said system comprising:
- a plurality of zone management systems each installed in one of the zones within said cell for acquiring a MIN (Mobile Identification Number) information of the mobile communication terminal entering the respective zone;
a zone information management server that receives the MIN information and zone identification information of the specific zone where the mobile communication terminal is located from the zone management system of said specific zone, requests location registration of the terminal to a home location register (HLR), and retrieves transmission information to be transferred to the terminal according to the MIN information and the zone identification information; and
an SMS (Short Message Services) server that receives the transmission information and the MIN information from the zone information management server, gets location information of the terminal corresponding to the MIN information from the HLR, and transfers the transmission information and the MIN information to the base station of the cell where the terminal is located according to the location information;
whereinthe zone management systems are connected to the zone information management server via a computer network, without being directly connected to the base station; and
the MIN information is arranged to be transmitted from the zone information management server to the HLR via, at least partially, the computer network, without being transmitted by the base station.
