Internet e-mail service using a wireless ter )na\ can be used through only web servers having an e-mail service provider format which can be used in a computer environment connected to the Internet and in a wireless terminal, and only e-mail accounts having a predetermined format. Accordingly, in order to view e-mail in an Internet e-mail server, a user needs to access the Internet e-mail server using a computer connected to the wire Internet. If the user wishes to view the e-mail in the Internet through a wireless terminal, he/she needs to input the address of a web site having the e-mail and access the Internet through the wireless terminal.
In a web site providing only wireless Internet e-mail, only e-mail having a format suitable for each wireless terminal can be opened. In other words, if the address of a web site having a wireless Internet e-mail account is input, and the web site is accessed, the web site having wireless Internet e-mail recognizes the access and transmits corresponding e-mail to the wireless terminal. After accessing a wireless Internet server and checking the e-mail through the wireless terminal, if the user ends the access, wireless Internet service ends. However, such a general method of viewing e-mail in an Internet e-mail server has the following problems.
It is necessary to access the Internet e-mail server through a computer connected to the Internet in order to view e-mail in the Internet e-mail server through the Internet. In addition, when using a wireless terminal, a user can use only limited mail servers. Accordingly, when the user makes a new e-mail account or has many e-mail accounts, he/she cannot receive some e-mail through the wireless terminal.

FIG. 2 is a diagram of an embodiment of an auxiliary e-mail server of an apparatus for accessing and providing e-mail using a wireless terminal according to the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the apparatus includes a wireless terminal 100, a wireless network system 200, Internet 300, a mail server 400, a database (DB) 500, and an auxiliary e-mail server 600.
The wireless network system 200 includes a wire/wireless connecting unit 210. The auxiliary e-mail server 600 includes an HTTP proxy module 610, a filter converter 611 , an internal format manager 612, an e-mail server interface manager 613, an alarm manager 614, an e-mail server access agent 615, a DB agent 616, a task manager 617, a traffic manager 618, a load balance controller 619, and a log manager 620.
More specifically, when a user requests to view e-mail through the wireless terminal 100, the HTTP proxy module 610 of the auxiliary e-mail server 600 receives an access request from the wireless terminal 100 via the wireless network system 200 and analyzes the received access request. The e-mail server interface manager 613 receives an analysis message from the HTTP proxy module 610 and determines whether to access an e-mail system (not shown). The e-mail server access agent 615 accesses the e-mail system in response to a determination by the e-mail server interface manager 613 and accesses the mail server 400, which stores e-mail and its attachments such as text files, moving image files, and PDF files, using a predetermined protocol. The DB agent 616 accesses the mail server 400 in response to a determination by the e-mail server interface manager 613, accesses the DB 500, and fetches e-mail and its attachments using a predetermined protocol.
Once the e-mail server interface manager 613 and the DB agent 616 fetch e-mail and its attachments from the e-mail system, the internal format manager 612 converts different e-mail formats of the e-mail and the attachments received from the e-mail server interface manager 613 and the DB agent 616 into an internal format which is defined previously.
Then, the file converter 611 converts the internal format of the e-mail and the attachments received from the internal format manager 612 into a format which can be recognized by the wireless terminal 100 and transmits the converted e-mail and the attachments to the wireless terminal 100 through the Internet 300. In addition, the file converter 611 converts e-mail and its attachments which are fetched from the DB 500 or the mail server 400 to have a format such as Wireless Application Language (WML), Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML), Compact Hypertext Markup Language (CHTML), SHTML, MHTML, or WBMP which can be recognized by the wireless terminal 100. WML is a protocol suitable for the Internet and mobile communication with respect to application services managed through a mobile communication network. HDML is a set of commands and sentences which define how a wireless terminal such as a hand phone or PDA interacts with a user. CHTML, SHTML, and MHTML are a sort of x-HTML which is wireless Internet language. CHTML was adopted by NTT DoCoMo in Japan. SHTML was initiatively developed by Samsung Electronics and Al Net in Korea. MHTML was initiatively developed by KTF and Hansol M.com in Korea.
In addition, if the e-mail fetched from the mail server 400 has an attachment, the file converter 611 converts the attachment to have a format which can be stored in a sub-folder of a corresponding cache folder. The attachment is classified into a format such as MS Word, HWP, Hunmin chong-um, Johab-hyung Hangul code, Wansung-hyung Hangul code, Unicode, Excel, or PowerPoint and converted so that it can be recognized by the wireless terminal 100. The alarm manager 614 informs whether each unit operates abnormally. The task manager 617 controls and manages each unit. The load balance controller 619 properly re-distribute many requests from the wireless terminal 100, manages traffic when a request is generated from the wireless terminal 100, and records particulars necessary for the user. The log manager 620 keeps logs of particulars generated by each unit and uses them when necessary.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a procedure for checking e-mail and its attachment through a wireless terminal in an apparatus for accessing and providing e-mail using a wireless terminal according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, in viewing the content of e-mail and its attachments such as text files, moving image files, and Doc files through the wireless terminal 100, once the mail server 400 transmits a short message to the wireless network system 200, the wireless network system 200 reports that the short message has been recognized to the mail server 400.
Here, if the wireless network system 200 transmits a short message delivery point to point (DPP) to the wireless terminal 100, the wireless terminal 100 reports that the short message DPP is recognized to the wireless network system 200 and accesses an Internet site (for example, http://wms/) through the auxiliary e-mail server 600 in order to show the content of e-mail and its attachments requested by a user.
If the Internet site is accessed through the auxiliary e-mail server 600, the auxiliary e-mail server 600 requests user information such as the user's name and password from the wireless terminal 100, the wireless terminal 100 transmits the user information to the auxiliary e-mail server 600 in response to the request.
Meanwhile, if the auxiliary e-mail server 600 authenticates the user information for the mail server 400 and receives the acknowledgement of the authentication of the user information from the mail server 400, it requests the DB 500 to fetch e-mail and its attachments. If the DB 500 transmits the e-mail and its attachments to the auxiliary e-mail server 600 in response to the request, the auxiliary e-mail server 600 converts formats of the e-mail and its attachments into a format which can be recognized by the wireless terminal 100 (for example, it converts HTML into WML) and transmits the converted e-mail and attachments to the wireless terminal 100. Here, as much e-mail with attachments as can be shown by the wireless terminal 100 at one time is transmitted to the wireless terminal 100, and the remaining e-mail with attachments is stored in the auxiliary e-mail server 600.
In addition, in the case where there is other e-mail and its attachments requested by the user after the wireless terminal 100 receives all the previously requested e-mail and attachments, if the auxiliary e-mail server 600 is requested to send the corresponding e-mail with attachments to the wireless terminal 100, it sends as much e-mail with attachments as can be accommodated by the wireless terminal 100 to the wireless terminal 100.
The scope of the invention will not be restricted to the above embodiments but will be defined by the attached claims. Industrial Applicability
