Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for receiving data by using the SMS and the wireless Internet. The method comprises the steps of receiving a short message from said service provider, wherein the short message comprises at least a service identifier and site information, determining whether or not there is an application protocol in the site information and executing an IP channel connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol, when the application protocol is in the site information, wherein the data receiving system receives data in correspondence with the application protocol from the service provider by executing the IP channel connecting program.

Claims

1. A method for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message service) and wireless network in a user terminal coupled with a SMS server and at least a web server, comprising the steps of:

receiving a short message at said user terminal from said SMS server, wherein said short message comprises at least an application protocol identifier and URL information;

determining an IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

executing the IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

determining an application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

connecting said web server in correspondence with said URL using the application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier; and

receiving said data in correspondence with the application protocol identifier from the web server.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein said short message further comprises a service identifier

and further comprising the steps of:

dividing the short message into data fields; and

determining whether or not a user in correspondence with the user terminal is a subscriber by using the service identifier.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein

said application protocol identifier is at least one selected from a protocol identifier corresponding to hypertext(HTTP), a protocol identifier corresponding to game(GAME) and a protocol identifier corresponding to advertisement(ADVER).

4. A user terminal system for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message service) and wireless network, in the user terminal system coupled with a SMS server and at least a web server, comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor coupled to said storage device,

said storage device storing a program for controlling said processor; and

said processor operative with said program to

receive a short message at said user terminal from said SMS server, wherein said short message comprises at least a application protocol identifier and URL information;

determine an IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

execute the IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

determine an application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

connect said web server in correspondence with said URL using the application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier; and

receive said data in correspondence with the application protocol identifier from the web server.

5. A user terminal-readable medium having stored thereon the user terminal executable instructions for performing a method for receiving data by using SMS (Short Message service) and wireless network in the user terminal coupled with a SMS server and at least a web server,

the method comprising the steps of;

receiving a short message at said user terminal from said SMS server, wherein said short message comprises at least an application protocol identifier and URL information;

determining an IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

executing the IP channel-connecting program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

determining an application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier;

connecting said web server in correspondence with said URL using the application program in correspondence with the application protocol identifier; and

receiving said data in correspondence with the application protocol identifier from the web server.
