Mobile phone for data communication is expected to be developed in two parts. The mobile phone for data communication having separate handset functions filed by the present inventors is divided into two. One is a main body equipped with a large screen display device mainly for visual information communication, and the other is a handset which is excellent in portability and can be conveniently used for voice communication. The main body further includes a mobile communication antenna for transmitting and receiving radio waves with the mobile communication base station; A rechargeable battery pack for accommodating a battery required for driving the portable terminal; Speaker for listening to the other party's voice data; Graphic LCD and touch screen required for output and input of visual data; Near field antenna for near field communication with the handset; A keyboard required to make a call to the other party in voice data communication; A microphone for inputting voice data of a user in voice data communication; It is composed of a connection socket for interface with the outside, so basically, the Internet can be searched by web (WEB) status instead of simple text information (eg WAP). In addition, the handset includes a near antenna for near field communication with the main body; Speaker for listening to the voice data of the other party in the voice data communication; A keyboard for making a call to the other party in voice data communication; The microphone is configured to input voice data of a user in voice data communication.

In general, mobile phones are equipped with a web browser, which provides a modified Internet search for WAP or mobile phones. Recently, music files (eg MPEG) are downloaded and used as MPEG players, but more than 2 songs are stored. There is a limit to the memory capacity of the mobile phone itself. Or by connecting a mobile phone with a personal handheld device (PDA, handheld PC, palmtop, etc.) (using cable, Irda infrared, radio waves), the mobile phone is provided to search the Internet over the size limit of the LCD screen. In addition, programs, files, and data that can be mounted are limited due to the limitations of their own memory capacity. As a countermeasure, personal portable devices have a communication function with a computer at home or a company, but they can be backed up. To solve this problem, if you create your own directory on a server computer on a data communication network that can be accessed by a mobile phone, store it here, download it, and manage it, you can run many programs at any time regardless of the memory capacity of the terminal. have.

Mobile telephone switching system is generally connected with base station (BTS), exchange (BSC), registration register (HLR), message server (MSC), voicemail (VMS), and X.25 network, TCP / IP for additional services. Mobile telephone broadcasting service center (CBC), short message center (SMSC), e-mail server and IP access server are connected to network, No.7 network, etc. and are connected to external computer or site through internet network or PSTN. On-demand services (stocks, fortunes) and broadcast services (weather, news) of mobile phone companies are connected to external IP servers by X.25 or TCP / IP. With such a network configuration, the computer file remote management system of the present invention can be connected to the mobile telephone exchange as an additional system like an e-mail server, or can be configured as a server computer with an address connected to the Internet network or a PSTN. It can be provided as an IP server on a data communication network connected via TCP / IP.
