Mobile communication method and terminal
View Patent ↗In a mobile communication terminal, message content and recipient information is received input from a user during a message creation process. After receiving a triggering signal indicating an end of the message creation process, the message content and the recipient information is analyzed. The analysis results in a indication of a most suitable transmission service for transmitting the message content to the recipient. Then the message content is transmitted via the most suitable message transmission service.
1. A method of controlling message transmission in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
receiving message content and recipient information input from a user during a message creation process,
receiving a triggering signal indicating an end of the message creation process,
analyzing the message content and the recipient information, said analyzing resulting in an indication of a most suitable transmission service for transmitting the message content to the recipient, and
transmitting the message content via said most suitable message transmission service.
2. The method according to claim 1 , where said analysis of the message content comprises analyzing the amount of said message content.
3. The method according to claim 1 , where said analysis of the message content comprises analyzing the type of said message content.
4. The method according to claim 3 , where said analysis of the type of said message content comprises analyzing whether the message content is plain text.
5. The method according to claim 3 , where said analysis of the type of said message content comprises analyzing whether the message content comprises formatted text.
6. The method according to claim 3 , where said analysis of the type of said message content comprises analyzing whether the message content comprises sound.
7. The method according to claim 3 , where said analysis of the type of said message content comprises analyzing whether the message content comprises a picture.
8. The method according to claim 1 , where said analysis of the recipient information comprises analyzing whether the recipient information comprises a mobile telephone number.
9. The method according to claim 1 , where said analysis of the recipient information comprises analyzing whether the recipient information comprises an electronic mail address.
10. The method according to claim 1 , where said transmission is effectuated via a short message service.
