Abstract

Disclosed is a method of establishing a session between a mobile communication terminal and a computer linked to the Internet via a gateway server therebetween through WAP or TCP/IP by using identification information of the mobile communication terminal as a connection key to transmit/receive data packets. Consequently, stable and accurate data communication between the mobile communication terminal and the computer linked to the Internet can be achieved.

Claims

1. A method of establishing a session via a gateway server between a mobile communication terminal which is a mobile station of a mobile communication network and a service server linked to the Internet, the method comprising:

executing an interface manager connected to the service server (41);

transmitting by the interface manager identification information of the mobile communication terminal to the gateway server through the Internet, wherein the identification information is a phone number and electronic serial number of the mobile communication device;

setting automatically by the gateway server the phone number and electronic serial number of the mobile communication terminal as a connection key to prevent a user from having to input a connection key on the mobile communication terminal;

executing an access application of the mobile communication terminal;

extracting by the access application the identification information of the mobile communication terminal;

transmitting by the access application the identification information of the mobile communication terminal to the gateway server through a wireless network; and

transmitting by the gateway server data packets between the service server and the mobile communication terminal by using the identification information of the mobile communication terminal as a connection key.

2. A method of establishing a session via a gateway server between a mobile communication terminal which is a mobile station of a mobile communication network and a service server linked to the Internet, the method comprising:

executing a customer relationship management (CRM) server connected to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) and an interface manager connected to the service server;

calling, by the mobile communication terminal, the CRM server through the PSTN;

reading by the CRM server the phone number of the mobile communication terminal;

searching an identification information database for identification information of the mobile communication terminal by using the phone number of the mobile communication terminal and transmitting the identification information to the gateway server through the Internet, by the interface manager, wherein the identification information is a phone number and electronic serial number of the mobile communication device;

setting automatically by the gateway server the phone number and electronic serial number of the mobile communication terminal as a connection key to prevent a user from having to input a connection key on the mobile communication terminal;

executing an access application of the mobile communication terminal;

extracting by the access application the identification information of the mobile communication terminal;

transmitting by the access application the identification information of the mobile communication terminal to the gateway server through a wireless network; and

transmitting by the gateway server data packets between the service server and the mobile communication terminal by using the identification information of the mobile communication terminal as a connection key.
