Referring to
The terminal multimedia storage server 100 generates a multimedia data transmission command according to the present invention and requests the SMSC 200 to send the generated multimedia data transmission command to a terminal of a user.
When the SMSC 200 receives the request for transmitting the message from the terminal multimedia storage server 100, the SMSC 200, in response to the request, generates an SMS message based on the multimedia data transmission command and sends the SMS message to the terminal 300 through a wire or wireless communication network.
When the terminal 300 receives the SMS message containing the multimedia data transmission command, the terminal 300 communicates with the terminal multimedia storage server 100 to build a data communication path with the terminal multimedia storage server 100 in accordance with the multimedia data transmission command. When the data communication path is built, the terminal 300 uploads the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server 100 through the data communication path.
Preferably, the terminal multimedia storage server 100 determines whether the current time is a predetermined multimedia download time when it should receive the multimedia data from the terminal. As a result, when the current time is the predetermined multimedia download time, the terminal multimedia storage server 100 generates the multimedia data transmission command.
According to embodiments, the predetermined multimedia download time is set in the terminal multimedia storage server 100 by the user of the terminal 300. Also, the predetermined multimedia download time is determined as a time period of minimum traffic. For instance, when the user calls the least during the time period 2-5 a.m., the data download time of the terminal 300 can be set as 2-5 a.m.
Preferably, when the terminal 300 receives the multimedia data transmission command, the terminal 300 determines whether there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted. As a result, when there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted, the terminal 300 uploads the multimedia data as stated above.
Preferably, the terminal 300 stores the result of the uploading of the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server 100, and afterwards utilizes it. That is, only the file which has not been uploaded can be uploaded in the next uploading.
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings attached hereto, the system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained along with the operation.
Referring to
As a result of step S201, when the current time is the predetermined multimedia download time, the terminal multimedia storage server 100 generates the multimedia data transmission command and requests the SMSC 200 to send the multimedia data transmission command to the terminal (S202).
When the SMSC 200 receives the request for transmitting the message from the terminal multimedia storage server 100, the SMSC 200, in response to the request, generates an SMS message based on the multimedia data transmission command and sends the SMS message to the terminal 300 through a communication network (S203-S205).
Then, when the terminal 300 receives the SMS message containing the multimedia data transmission command, the terminal 300 communicates with the terminal multimedia storage server 100 to build a data communication path between the terminal and the terminal multimedia storage server 100 in accordance with the multimedia data transmission command. That is, the terminal 300 requests the terminal multimedia storage server 100 to build a data communication path and the data communication path is built by the response of the terminal multimedia storage server 100. Preferably, the terminal 300 has an exclusive program for a multimedia data transmission installed therein. The exclusive program is driven when the terminal 300 receives the multimedia data transmission command and stops when the multimedia data transmission is completed according to the present invention. Also, preferably, when the terminal 300 receives the multimedia data transmission command, the terminal 300 determines whether there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted. As a result, when there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted, the terminal 300 sends the multimedia data which have not yet been transmitted (S206-S208).
When the data communication path is built, the terminal 300 uploads the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server 100 through the data communication path. When the upload of the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server 100 is completed, the terminal 300 stores the upload result (S209-212).
Meanwhile, when the user requests the sending of the uploaded multimedia file to a WAP or web server 400, the WAP or web server 400 requests the terminal multimedia storage server 100 for the multimedia data which the user has uploaded. When the WAP or web server 400 receives the multimedia data from the terminal multimedia storage server 100 in response to the request, it sends the received multimedia data to a wire or wireless terminal of the user, e.g., a personal computer (not shown) or the terminal 300 (S213-215).
By referring to
Referring to
The terminal 300 according to the present invention determines whether the current time is a predetermined multimedia upload time. When the current time is the predetermined multimedia upload time as a result of the determination, the terminal 300 determines whether there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted in the terminal 300. When there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted as a result of the determination, the terminal 300 requests the terminal multimedia storage server 100 to upload the multimedia data.
When the terminal multimedia storage server 100 receives the request for uploading the multimedia data from the terminal 300, the terminal multimedia storage server 100 determines whether to approve the upload request and send the result to the terminal 300.
When the terminal multimedia storage server 100 approves the upload of the multimedia data, the terminal 300 uploads the multimedia data which have not yet been transmitted to the terminal multimedia storage server 100.
Preferably, the predetermined multimedia upload time is set in the terminal by the user of the terminal. More preferably, the predetermined multimedia upload time is determined as the minimum of the call time periods of the terminal.
Preferably, when the terminal multimedia storage server 100 approves the upload of the multimedia data as a result of the above determination, the terminal 300 communicates with the terminal multimedia storage server to build a data communication path to upload the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server.
Also, when uploading the multimedia data to the terminal multimedia storage server 100 is completed or stops, the terminal 300 stores the result.
Hereinafter, with reference to
The terminal 300 determines whether or not the current time is a predetermined multimedia upload time (S301).
As a result of the determination of step S301, when the current time is the predetermined multimedia upload time, the terminal 300 determines whether there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted (S302).
As a result of the determination of step S302, when there are multimedia data which have yet to be transmitted, the terminal 300 requests the terminal multimedia storage server 100 to upload the multimedia data (S303).
When the terminal multimedia storage server 100 receives the request for uploading the multimedia data from the terminal 300 through step S303, the terminal multimedia storage server 100 determines whether to approve the request for upload and sends the result to the terminal 300 (S304).
When the terminal multimedia storage server 100 approves the upload of the multimedia data in step S304, the terminal 300 uploads the multimedia data which have not yet been transmitted to the terminal multimedia storage server 100 (S305 and 306).
Then, when the multimedia data are uploaded to the terminal multimedia storage server 100, the terminal 300 stores the upload result (S307).
Meanwhile, when the user requests for sending the uploaded multimedia file to a WAP or web server 400, the WAP or web server 400 requests the terminal multimedia storage server 100 for the multimedia data which the user has uploaded. When the WAP or web server 400 receives the multimedia data from the terminal multimedia storage server 100 in response to the request, it sends the received multimedia data to a wire or wireless terminal of the user, e.g., a personal computer (not shown) or the terminal 300 (S308-310).
