Data service in a mobile communication network

摘要

The invention relates to Internet service in a digital mobile communication network by means of short message service. For this purpose the short message service centre (SC) is connected to the Internet network and uses the HTML, HTTP, and TCP/IP protocols towards the Internet network. Short messages are transferred between the short message service centre (SC) and mobile stations (MS) in the usual manner. The user submits to the service centre a short message containing a criterion identifying the desired information. The short message centre or said other equipment sets up a connection to the desired server via the Internet network in order to inquire information identified by the criterion received from the mobile station, such as a keyword. The Internet server responses to the inquiry by providing and sending information identified by the criterion.
