Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of transmitting data in a mobile communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of transmitting data in a mobile communication system that may improve a data transmission speed in a mobile communication system using a network storage space of the mobile communication system. According to the present invention, it is made possible to achieve an improvement of data transmission speed and an effective data control by separating the data flow between a mobile communication terminal and wired communication network into i) data flow between wired communication network and mobile communication network and ii) data flow between the mobile communication network and the mobile communication terminal through using a network storage space acting as a relay node.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system, comprising acts of:

transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space, the service provider server being wirelessly connected to a mobile communication terminal through the data connection server; and

transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal.

2. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the data is stored in the network storage space first as a temporary file and change in the temporary file is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal, in case that the data is real-time data.

3. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile communication terminal performs other works, while the data is transmitted from the service provider server to the network storage space and stored in the network storage space.

4. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space comprises acts of:

selecting data to be transmitted at the service provider server;

determining whether there is data in the network storage space identical with the selected data; and

in case that there is no data identical with the selected data in the network storage space, transmitting the selected data from the service provider server and storing the selected data in the network storage space.

5. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 4, wherein the act of transmitting the selected data from the service provider server and storing the selected data in the network storage space further comprises act of:

notifying the mobile communication terminal of completion of data transmission and storage, after transmitting the data to the network storage space and storing the data in the network storage space.

6. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space comprises act of:

authenticating user of the mobile communication terminal accessing to the data connection server.

7. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space, comprises acts of:

selecting data to be transmitted at the service provider server;

determining whether there is data in the network storage space identical with the selected data;

in case that there is data in the network storage space identical with the selected data, determining whether or not the data has been completely transmitted from the service provider server; and

in case that the data has not been completely transmitted from the service provider server, receiving from the service provider server parts of the data which has not been transmitted and storing the data including the parts in the network storage space.

8. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 7, wherein the act of transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space, further comprises act of:

notifying the mobile communication terminal of completion of data transmission and storage, after transmitting the parts of the data which has not been transmitted to the network storage space and storing the data including the parts in the network storage space.

9. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting data from a service provider server to a network storage space of a data connection server and storing the data in the network storage space comprises acts of:

selecting data to be transmitted at the service provider server;

determining whether there is data in the network storage space identical with the selected data;

in case that there is data in the network storage space identical with the selected data, determining whether or not the data has been completely transmitted from the service provider server; and

in case that the data has been completely transmitted from the service provider server, notifying the mobile communication terminal of existence of data identical with the selected data.

10. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal comprises acts of:

selecting data to be transmitted at the network storage space;

determining whether or not the selected data has been completely transmitted to the network storage space; and

in case that the selected data has been completely transmitted to the network storage space, transmitting the data from the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal.

11. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal comprises act of:

notifying the mobile communication terminal of whether the data in the network storage space has been completely transmitted to the network storage space or not.

12. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 10, wherein the act of selecting data to be transmitted at the network storage space comprises acts of:

transmitting list of data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal; and

notifying the data connection server of selection of data.

13. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the act of transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal comprises acts of:

selecting data to be transmitted at the network storage space;

determining whether or not the selected data has been completely transmitted to the network storage space;

in case that the selected data has not been completely transmitted to the network storage space, receiving from the service provider server parts of the data which has not been transmitted to the network storage space and storing the parts of the data in the network storage space; and

transmitting the data from the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal.

14. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 13, wherein the act of transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal further comprises act of:

in case that the selected data has not been completely transmitted to the network storage space, asking the mobile communication terminal whether to receive the data from the service provider server after re-accessing to the service provider server.

15. The method of transmitting data in a mobile communication system according to claim 14, wherein the act of transmitting the data stored in the network storage space to the mobile communication terminal further comprises act of:

in case of deciding not to receive the data from the service provider server after re-accessing to the service provider server, deleting the data stored in the network storage space.
