Abstract

Disclosed is a data call terminating service system and method for a dynamic IP of a mobile communication terminal. The method includes the steps of: a) transmitting, from a DNS to a call terminating server, access request information about a request of access to a URL designating a specific mobile communication terminal from an external host; b) acquiring, at the call terminating server having received the access request, a phone number of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the URL contained in the received access request information by making reference to a database; c) requesting, at the call terminating server, data call establishment from the mobile communication terminal after acquiring location information of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the phone number acquired in step b) through HLR; and d) notifying, at the call terminating server, the DNS and the external host of IP assignment information received from the mobile communication terminal having established the data call.

Claims (23)

1. A data call terminating service system for a dynamic IP (internet protocol) of a mobile communication terminal, comprising a call terminating server, wherein the call terminating server comprises:

an access request information receiver to receive, through a DNS (domain name server), access request information about a request of access to a HTTP URL (hypertext transfer protocol uniform resource locator) designating a specific mobile communication terminal from an external host, wherein the external host resides outside of a mobile network;

a phone number acquisition unit to acquire a phone number of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the HTTP URL contained in the access request information received by the access request information receiver by making reference to a database;

a data call establishment requester to acquire, through HLR (home location register), location information of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the phone number acquired by the phone number acquisition unit, and to request data call establishment from the mobile communication terminal;

an IP assignment information receiver to receive IP assignment information from the mobile communication terminal having established the data call;

an IP assignment information transmitter to transmit the IP assignment information received by the IP assignment information receiver to the DNS and the external host; and

wherein the HTTP URL designating the mobile communication terminal includes a phone number of the mobile communication terminal.

2. The data call terminating service system of claim 1 , wherein the data call establishment requester requests data call establishment by transmitting a short message to request the data call establishment to the mobile communication terminal.

3. The data call terminating service system of claim 1 , wherein the data call establishment requester requests data call establishment by transmitting a page signal to request the data call establishment to the mobile communication terminal.

4. The data call terminating service system of any one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the call terminating server is interworked with a synchronous (3GPP2) mobile communication network.

5. The data call terminating service system of any one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the call terminating server is interworked with an asynchronous (3GPP) mobile communication network.

6. A data call terminating service method for a dynamic IP (internet protocol) of a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising the steps of:

a) transmitting, from a DNS (domain name server) to a call terminating server, access request information about a request of access to a HTTP URL (hypertext transfer protocol uniform resource locator) designating a specific mobile communication terminal from an external host, wherein the external host resides outside of a mobile network;

b) acquiring, at the call terminating server having received the access request, a phone number of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the HTTP URL contained in the received access request information by making reference to a database;

c) requesting, at the call terminating server, data call establishment from the mobile communication terminal after acquiring location information of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the phone number acquired in step b) through HLR (home location register);

d) notifying, at the call terminating server, the DNS and the external host of IP assignment information received from the mobile communication terminal having established the data call; and

wherein the HTTP URL designating the mobile communication terminal includes a phone number of the mobile communication terminal.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the step of: e) requesting, at the external host, an access to a HTTP URL designating a specific mobile communication terminal from the DNS.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising the steps of:

f) acquiring an IP from a mobile communication system after the mobile communication terminal having received the data call establishment request transmitted in the step c) requests data call establishment from the mobile communication system and a data call is connected between the mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication system; and

g) transmitting IP assignment information acquired in the step f) from the mobile communication terminal to the call terminating server.

9. The method of any one of claims 6 to 8 , wherein in the step c), the data call establishment is requested by allowing the call terminating server to transmit a short message for requesting the data call establishment to the mobile communication terminal.

10. The method of any one of claims 6 to 8 , wherein in the step c), the data call establishment is requested by allowing the call terminating server to transmit a page signal for requesting the data call establishment to the mobile communication terminal.
