A contents connection point which is contents position information for connecting to contents to be provided to a mobile communication terminal via a wireless Internet is registered. CP connection menus and a directory menu which is a menu provided via the mobile communication terminal are generated, and the contents connection point is connected to the CP connection menus. A segment for providing the contents to the mobile communication terminal according to a prescribed regulation is formed and the directory menu and the CP connection menus are selectively connected to the segment.

Managing method and apparatus for servicing contents provided by content provider

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for integrating and managing information of mobile terminal which provide content in accordance with an efficiency of a mobile terminal. Method comprises the steps of A) adjusting whether a mobile terminal supports a user agent profile and requesting an information of the mobile terminal; B) deciding an approval on the information of the mobile terminal after identifying a registration content of the information of the mobile terminal; C) extracting a subscriber information and a device ID from a log file generated in the case that the mobile terminal accesses a wireless internet network, comparing the same with pre-stored data and updating the subscriber information and the device ID in accordance with the result of the comparison; D) inquiring and requesting the information of the mobile terminal from a content providing unit based on the subscriber information in the case that the mobile terminal accesses the content providing unit through the wireless internet network; and (E) transmitting an inquiring result of the information of the mobile terminal to the content providing unit.

Method and apparatus for integrating and managing information of mobile terminal

Disclosed are an interface architecture of subscriber information management, billing, prepaid system for mobile network system, and a prepaid method using the interface architecture. The present invention is embodied by a Workflow engine classified as a business logic and a processing logic to access the interface rapidly for clients. The workflow engine is applicable to the subscriber information management and the billing through a voice subscriber, a data subscriber and contents provider. Interfacing is possible to apply changeable embodiment of system and adapt environment changes through a workflow engine. Therefore, the present invention provides a wireless portal platform to increase efficiency in subscribing procedures and using service. In addition, the present invention provides solution of obstacles on respective module between the prepaid billing client and the prepaid billing gateway, or between the prepaid billing gateway and the prepaid billing server.

Interface system of subscriber information management, billing, prepaid system for mobile network system, and prepaid method using the interface system

A managing method and an apparatus for servicing contents provided by contents provider wherein the managing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a contents provider management module for generating an account of a contents provider based on information of the contents provider transmitted from the contents providing apparatus; a contents management module for managing a contents connection point for connecting to the contents provided from the contents providing apparatus and for managing information relative to the contents; and a menu management module for registering menus including a menu connected to the contents connection point and for managing a connection authority to a name of the menu and the menu, such that a collective management on the contents providers is possible and the contents providers can conveniently provide contents services to subscribers.

A managing method and/or an apparatus for servicing contents provided by contents provider includes creating a segment for providing contents to a subscriber terminal according to a prescribed regulation; connecting contents connection points connected to the contents with menus; and forming a segment menu of the segment by at least one menu connected to the contents to be provided to the subscriber terminal subscribed to the segment and selected from the menus.

Managing method for providing contents service

Disclosed herein are an external device for a mobile communication terminal, which enables non-contact NFC with the outside through a Near Field Communication (NFC) unit, and an NFC method using the external device. The external device for a mobile communication terminal includes a serial communication unit, an NFC unit, a smart card unit and an antenna. The serial communication unit is connected to a mobile communication terminal body through a connector. The NFC unit communicates with the mobile communication terminal body through the serial communication unit and communicates with the outside via non-contact NFC. The smart card unit communicates with the NFC unit. The antenna is configured such that the NFC unit transmits/receives signals via non-contact NFC through the antenna.

External device for mobile communication terminal and NFC method using the same

A secure NFC apparatus includes a plug-in socket, an NFC unit, and a protocol matching unit. A security module is inserted in the plug-in socket. The NFC unit communicates with the outside via non-contact NFC using signals based on an S2C protocol.
