Method of exchanging data between mobile phones
View Patent ↗The present invention is related to a method of exchanging data between mobile phones through an inter-working function or proxy inter-working function service. The method includes a first step in which as a transmitting user manipulates a keypad of a transmitting mobile phone, the transmitting mobile phone enters transmission mode. At a second step, as a receiving user manipulates a keypad of a receiving mobile phone, the receiving mobile phone enters reception mode. Thereafter, the transmitting and receiving mobile phones are operated in data exchange mode for transmitting data from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone. Finally, data transmission from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone is completed.
1. A method of exchanging data between mobile phones in an IS-95A/B or IS-95C network through a proxy inter-working function service, comprising:
a first step in which a transmitting mobile phone initiates a data call to a receiving mobile phone;
a second step in which the receiving mobile phone answers the data call;
a third step in which the transmitting and receiving mobile phones are operated in data exchange mode for transmitting data from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone; and
a fourth step in which data transmission from the transmitting mobile phone to the receiving mobile phone is completed,
wherein said mobile phones transmit signals including an origination message of which a service option field's value is 0×8003.
2. The data exchange method according to claim 1 , wherein, in said data exchange mode of the third step, each of the mobile phones considers all data except control data transmitted from an proxy inter-working unit as data transmitted from the other mobile phone.
3. The data exchange method according to claim 1 , wherein said completion of data transmission of the fourth step is terminated when an end key of any of the mobile phones is pressed by a user.
