After storing the data in the memory of the mobile communication terminal, each time the system time is changed by minute, the short message can be automatically sent to the receiver if the scheduled time is matched with the scheduled time. It relates to a reservation transmission method.

Personal communication service (PCS) is a mobile communication service used by an individual while carrying a voice and low-speed data communication regardless of time and place using an ultra-portable, ultra-lightweight terminal. Says communication service.

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 service providers use a short message service (SMS) that enables simple message transmission to provide news information, weather information, sports information, stock information, exchange rate information, traffic information, and the like. Service subscribers.

Here, the short message service (SMS) refers to a two-way text service that can send and receive short messages regardless of the presence or absence of a call between mobile communication terminals (Point To Point). 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 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.

The short message service may also be referred to as an enterprise short message service or a group notification service. Unlike the service that general customers have used to send messages, the application area of short message service is that companies can send a large amount of DM Advertising (direct mail advertising) and bills at the same time. Has expanded into a company. As a mobile service provider, it is possible to make a profit through the short message service that has been in the supplementary services by securing enterprise users with a large amount of message transmission.

Also, for example, when a sender who is a wireless telecommunications service subscriber requests a call to a receiver that is another wireless telecommunication service subscriber, the voice is automatically activated when the other wireless telecommunication service subscriber is busy or when 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. .
