Abstract

A terminal for supporting a dynamic content delivery (DCD) service a system thereof, and method thereof. A general terminal cannot provide information specialized for individuals. In order to solve the foregoing problem, there is provided a method for delivering contents includes the steps of: acquiring contents at a DCD server; personalizing, at the DCD server, the acquired contents; providing, at the DCD server, the personalized contents to a terminal; receiving and storing the personalized contents at the terminal; and driving the personalized contents at the terminal.

Claims

1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a memory configured to store personalization information including one or more preset conditions set by a user or generated by automatically analyzing a contents using pattern of the user;

a first module configured to transmit a contents request to a server to receive personalized contents from the server, and to store the personalized contents, the personalized contents including contents preferred by the user, contents to be provided to the user at a specific time point, information to be provided to the user according to a geographical position of the mobile communication terminal and information related to a specific region; and

a second module configured to automatically generate the contents request to receive the personalized contents corresponding to the preset condition from the server when one of the preset conditions is satisfied, to provide the personalized contents received from the server through the first module to the user, and to drive broadcast contents from the server through the first module in a standby state,

wherein the second module is further configured to monitor whether the preset condition included in the personalization information is satisfied and generate the contents request including a content ID parameter for notifying an intrinsic ID of the personalized contents requested by the first module and an event type parameter for notifying event type information when the preset condition is satisfied, the contents request including a content ID parameter and event type parameter,

wherein the preset conditions comprise a geographical position variation of the mobile communication terminal, an arrival of a designated time and a preferred channel,

wherein the second module is further configured to first generate summary contents related to the personalized contents requested from the server before the first module transmits the contents request to the server, said summary contents being only a part of the personalized contents, and

wherein the second module is further configured to request the first module to stop receiving the broadcast contents from the server when the preset condition is satisfied or re-satisfied, and to restart the driving of the broadcast contents if another preset condition is not satisfied.

2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1, wherein the first module notifies reception of the personalized contents to the second module, when receiving the personalized contents.

3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1, wherein the preset condition is set and stored in a user profile.

4. A mobile communication system, comprising:

a dynamic contents delivery (DCD) server configured to acquire contents and personalization information, and personalize the acquired contents into personalized contents according to the personalization information; and

a terminal configured to receive the personalized contents from the DCD server and provide the received personalized contents to a user, the terminal including;

a memory configured to store the personalization information including the one or more preset conditions set by a user or generated by automatically analyzing a contents using pattern of the user;

a first module configured to transmit a contents request to the server to receive the personalized contents from the server, and to store the personalized contents, the personalized contents including contents preferred by the user, contents to be provided to the user at a specific time point, information to be provided to the user according to a geographical position of the mobile communication terminal and information related to a specific region; and

a second module configured to automatically generate the contents request to receive the personalized contents corresponding to the preset condition from the server when one of the preset conditions is satisfied, to provide the personalized contents received from the server through the first module to the user, and to drive broadcast contents from the server through the first module in a standby state,

wherein the second module is further configured to monitor whether the preset condition included in the personalization information is satisfied and generate the contents request including a content ID parameter for notifying an intrinsic ID of the personalized contents requested by the first module and an event type parameter for notifying event type information when the preset condition is satisfied, the contents request including a content ID parameter and event type parameter,

wherein the preset conditions comprise a geographical position variation of the mobile communication terminal, an arrival of a designated time and a preferred channel,

wherein the second module is further configured to first generate summary contents related to the personalized contents requested from the server before the first module transmits the contents request to the server, said summary contents being only a part of the personalized contents, and

wherein the second module is further configured to request the first module to stop receiving the broadcast contents from the server when the preset condition is satisfied or re-satisfied, and to restart the driving of the broadcast contents if another preset condition is not satisfied.

5. The mobile communication system of claim 4, wherein, the DCD server acquires the contents from an external contents provision server, if the DCD server has not stored the contents to be provided.

6. A method for providing a dynamic contents delivery (DCD) service in a terminal, the method comprising:

storing, in a memory included in the terminal, personalization information including one or more preset conditions set by a user or generated by automatically analyzing a contents using pattern of the user;

transmitting, via a first module including in the terminal, a contents request to a server to receive personalized contents from the server;

storing the personalized contents in the memory, the personalized contents including contents preferred by the user, contents to be provided to the user at a specific time point, information to be provided to the user according to a geographical position of the mobile communication terminal and information related to a specific region;

automatically generating, via a second module included in the terminal, the contents request to receive the personalized contents corresponding to the preset condition from the server when one of the preset conditions is satisfied, providing the personalized contents received from the server through the first module to the user, and driving broadcast contents from the server through the first module in a standby state;

monitoring, via the second module, whether the preset condition included in the personalization information is satisfied and generating the contents request including a content ID parameter for notifying an intrinsic ID of the personalized contents requested by the first module and an event type parameter for notifying event type information when the preset condition is satisfied, the contents request including a content ID parameter and event type parameter, wherein the preset conditions comprise a geographical position variation of the mobile communication terminal, an arrival of a designated time and a preferred channel;

first generating, via the second module, summary contents related to the personalized contents requested from the server before the first module transmits the contents request to the server, said summary contents being only a part of the personalized contents; and

requesting, via the second module, the first module to stop receiving the broadcast contents from the server when the preset condition is satisfied or re-satisfied, and to restart the driving of the broadcast contents if another preset condition is not satisfied.
