Wireless mobile communication service subscribers can move freely and communicate anywhere, and are further provided with a function of receiving necessary information by text or voice.

For example, wireless mobile communication service providers can send news information, weather information, sports information, stock information, exchange rate information, traffic information, etc. to subscribers of wireless mobile communication service by using short message service (SMS) that enables simple message transmission. Providing.

Short message service (SMS) refers to a two-way text service that can send and receive short messages regardless of the communication between the mobile communication terminals. This service enables subscribers of wireless mobile communication services to send short messages of 105 bytes in Korean or English to other mobile phone subscribers to receive messages over public telephone networks, data communication networks or the Internet.

In order to use a short message service (SMS), a mobile communication terminal is required and a message can be received even during a voice call. If the subscriber can not receive the message by turning off the power, he can save the transmitted data and check the message while the subscriber turns on the power again.

Until now, services provided by using the short message service (SMS) are various, such as news information, weather information, sports information, exchange rate information, traffic information, games, e-mail transmissions, bulletin boards, fan clubs, and the like.

Also, for example, when a sender who is a wireless mobile service subscriber requests a call to a receiver that is another wireless mobile service subscriber, voice is automatically generated when another wireless mobile service subscriber is busy or the phone is turned off. The message is saved.

If the sender stores the message for a predetermined time while the switched voice message is available for storage, a warning sound or the like is output when the receiver is switched to the available call state, so that the voice message can be listened to when the subscriber is needed. .

Conventionally, since a sender who is a subscriber of a wireless mobile communication service does not provide a function of automatically repeatedly transmitting a text message that he / she wants to send repeatedly, the user inputs a necessary message every time he / she wants to send and selects a receiver and sends it repeatedly. There was discomfort that should be.

In addition, even when the subscriber transmits specific information by using a voice message, since the subscriber is stored for a predetermined time in the recipient's mailbox and then deleted, the subscriber selects the recipient and voices the necessary message. There is inconvenience to input repeatedly and transmit repeatedly.

In addition, even if the sender wants to transmit the same message to a plurality of recipients, since the batch transmission function is not provided, it is inconvenient to repeatedly perform the same operation because it must be transmitted to each receiver in a separate operation. .

In addition to the inconvenience of the transmission method, there is a problem that takes a long time to transmit a plurality of the same message.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a message reservation transmission system and method for repeatedly transmitting in accordance with a condition automatically designated by a text message server in the case of a text message that a sender who is a wireless mobile communication service subscriber wants to transmit repeatedly.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a message reservation transmission system and method for repeatedly transmitting according to a condition specified by a sender even when a sender transmits specific information using a voice message.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message reservation transmission system and method for providing a batch transmission function by designating a plurality of recipients according to the characteristics of a message when a sender wants to transmit the same message to a plurality of recipients.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a message reservation transmission system and method that do not require much time to transmit the same message to a plurality of recipients, and which can conveniently transmit the message.
