If the transmitting end 100 is a mobile phone, the multimedia short message service is used, and if the transmitting end 100 is a general server 600, the multimedia short message containing multiple types of files can be generated and transmitted to the multimedia short message service center 400 through the network. The multimedia message generated by the server 600 can be sent to the receiving end 200 through the multimedia message service center 400.
傳送端100更如「第2A圖」所示，包含儲存模組101、檔案選擇模組120、檔案合併模組132、表頭建立模組136、第一檔案轉換模組150以及第一傳輸模組160。The transmitting end 100 further includes a storage module 101, a file selection module 120, a file merging module 132, a header creation module 136, a first file conversion module 150, and a first transmission mode, as shown in FIG. 2A. Group 160.
儲存模組101負責儲存多個目標檔案，儲存模組101所儲存之目標檔案係由傳送端100之使用者預先儲存至儲存模組101中。儲存模組101可以為內建於傳送端100之記憶體，傳送端100之使用者可以在連接傳送端100與電腦後，由電腦上傳目標檔案至傳送端100，傳送端100之使用者也可以直接使用傳送端100至網際網路中下載目標檔案。儲存模組101也可以為可擴充傳送端100之儲存容量的記憶卡，傳送端之使用者可以預先透過電腦等裝置將目標檔案儲存於記憶卡中，在將儲存有目標檔案之記憶卡***傳送端100。The storage module 101 is responsible for storing a plurality of target files, and the target files stored by the storage module 101 are pre-stored in the storage module 101 by the user of the transmitting terminal 100. The storage module 101 can be a memory built in the transmitting end 100. The user of the transmitting end 100 can upload the target file to the transmitting end 100 after connecting the transmitting end 100 and the computer, and the user of the transmitting end 100 can also Download the target file directly from the transmitter 100 to the Internet. The storage module 101 can also be a memory card that can expand the storage capacity of the transmitting end 100. The user of the transmitting end can store the target file in the memory card through a device such as a computer in advance, and insert and transfer the memory card storing the target file. End 100.
檔案選擇模組120負責由儲存模組101中選出多個目標檔案。一般而言，檔案選擇模組120會提供檔案選擇界面讓使用者將儲存在儲存模組101中的檔案選擇為目標檔案。The file selection module 120 is responsible for selecting a plurality of target files from the storage module 101. In general, the file selection module 120 provides a file selection interface for the user to select the file stored in the storage module 101 as the target file.
檔案合併模組132負責將檔案選擇模組120所選出的目標檔案合併為組合檔案，也就是說，若檔案選擇模組120依序選出第一檔案、第二檔案以及第三檔案等三個目標檔案，檔案合併模組132可以先將第二檔案附加在第二檔案之後，再將第三檔案附加在第二檔案之後，如此，檔案合併模組132便完成三個檔案的合併，合併後產生的檔案即為組合檔案。The file merge module 132 is configured to merge the target files selected by the file selection module 120 into a combined file, that is, if the file selection module 120 sequentially selects the first file, the second file, and the third file. The file and file merging module 132 may first attach the second file to the second file, and then attach the third file to the second file. Thus, the file merging module 132 completes the merging of the three files and combines them to generate The file is a combined file.
其中，檔案合併模組132係以特定順序合併檔案選擇模組120所選出的目標檔案，而檔案合併模組132合併目標檔案時，所使用之特定順序的產生方式例如上述檔案選擇模組120選出目標檔案之順序，或隨機排列目標檔案的順序等方式，甚至隨機選擇產生特定順序之方式，藉以將檔案合併模組132所選出的目標檔案合併為組合檔案，例如，檔案合併模組132也可以隨機的將第一檔案附加在第二檔案之後，並將第三檔案附加在第一檔案之後的順序合併目標檔案。但檔案合併模組132合併目標檔案所使用之特定順序不並以此為限。特別值得一提的是，由於檔案合併模組132係以不固定的順序將目標檔案合併為組合檔案，因此將使得組合檔案中的內容不易被辨識，進而提高各檔案在被傳送時的安全性。The file merge module 132 merges the target files selected by the file selection module 120 in a specific order, and when the file merge module 132 merges the target files, the specific order used is generated, for example, by the file selection module 120. The order of the target files, or the order in which the target files are randomly arranged, or even randomly selects a specific order, so that the target files selected by the file merge module 132 are merged into a combined file. For example, the file merge module 132 can also The first file is randomly attached to the second file, and the third file is attached to the target file after the first file. However, the specific order in which the file merge module 132 merges the target files is not limited thereto. It is particularly worth mentioning that since the file merge module 132 merges the target files into a combined file in an unfixed order, the contents of the combined file are not easily recognized, thereby improving the security of each file when it is transmitted. .
檔案合併模組132也負責將表頭建立模組136所產生的表頭檔附加到合併目標檔案後所產生的組合檔案中。一般而言，檔案合併模組132會將表頭檔附加到組合檔案的最前端，但本發明並不以此為限，例如，檔案合併模組132也可以將表頭檔附加到組合檔案的最末端，或是表頭檔中的特定位置等。The file merge module 132 is also responsible for appending the header file generated by the header creation module 136 to the combined file generated after the merge target file. In general, the file merge module 132 attaches the header file to the front end of the combined file, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the file merge module 132 can also attach the header file to the combined file. The end, or a specific position in the header file.
表頭建立模組136負責產生表頭檔，表頭檔包含檔案選擇模組120所選出之目標檔案的檔案資訊，例如目標檔案的檔案名稱、目標檔案的檔案大小、或目標檔案之第一個位元在組合檔案中的位置(以下將稱此位置為「偏移值」，通常為一個數字)等，但目標檔案的檔案資訊並不以此為限。The header creation module 136 is responsible for generating a header file, and the header file includes file information of the target file selected by the file selection module 120, such as the file name of the target file, the file size of the target file, or the first file of the target file. The position of the bit in the combined file (hereinafter referred to as "offset value", usually a number), etc., but the file information of the target file is not limited thereto.
表頭建立模組136會逐一將目標檔案的檔案資訊寫入表頭檔，也就是說，若檔案選擇模組120選出兩個目標檔案，則表頭建立模組136可以先讀取其中一個目標檔案的檔案名稱以及檔案大小等檔案資訊，再讀取另外一個目標檔案的檔案資訊，之後依據讀出的檔案資訊建立表頭檔，但表頭建立模組136建立表頭檔之方式並不以為限，例如，表頭建立模組136也可以在讀取一個目標檔案的檔案資訊後就建立表頭檔，再讀取另一個目標檔案的檔案資訊後，將讀出的檔案資訊寫入已建立的表頭檔中。The header creation module 136 will write the file information of the target file to the header file one by one, that is, if the file selection module 120 selects two target files, the header creation module 136 can read one of the targets first. The file name of the file and the file size and other file information, and then read the file information of another target file, and then create a header file based on the read file information, but the way the header creation module 136 creates the header file does not think that For example, the header creation module 136 may also create a header file after reading the file information of a target file, and then read the file information of another target file, and then write the read file information to the established file. In the header file.
一般而言，表頭建立模組136會依據目標檔案在組合檔案中的排列順序，依序將目標檔案的檔案資訊寫入表頭檔中，使表頭檔中之目標檔案的檔案資訊的排列順序與目標檔案在組合檔案中的排列順序相同。但表頭建立模組136產生表頭檔的方式並不以此為限，例如，表頭建立模組136也可以檔案選擇模組120選出目標檔案的順序，或是以其他任意順序，將目標檔案的檔案資訊寫入表頭檔中，在此情況下，表頭檔中所記錄之目標檔案的檔案資訊將包含目標檔案在組合檔案中的偏移值。由於表頭建立模組136可以不固定的順序將目標檔案的檔案資訊寫入表頭檔中，可以提高組合檔案中之各檔案在被傳送時的安全性。In general, the header creation module 136 sequentially records the file information of the target file into the header file according to the order of the target files in the combined file, so that the file information of the target file in the header file is arranged. The order and target files are in the same order in the combined file. However, the manner in which the header creation module 136 generates the header file is not limited thereto. For example, the header creation module 136 may also select the order of the target files by the file selection module 120, or set the target in any other order. The file information of the file is written into the header file. In this case, the file information of the target file recorded in the header file will contain the offset value of the target file in the combined file. Since the header creation module 136 can write the file information of the target file into the header file in an unfixed order, the security of each file in the combined file can be improved.
第一檔案轉換模組150負責將檔案合併模組132產生之包含目標檔案以及表頭檔的組合檔案轉換為預定檔案格式的封裝檔，本發明所提之封裝檔的預定檔案格式係為多媒體簡訊服務支援之檔案格式，例如，組合檔案「xmsg.x」係由純文字檔「info.dat」以及二進位檔「mov.s01」兩個檔案組成，因此組合檔案「xmsg.x」肯定不會是多媒體簡訊服務所支援之文字檔案或多媒體檔案的檔案格式，故當第一檔案轉換模組150預定之檔案格式係副檔名為「3gp」的影片檔之檔案格式時，第一檔案轉換模組150會以副檔名為「3gp」的影片檔之檔案格式封裝組合檔案「xmsg.x」，也就是說，第一檔案轉換模組150會將組合檔案「xmsg.x」封裝到副檔名為「3gp」的影片檔中記錄影片的位置，藉以產生副檔名為「3gp」之封裝檔，封裝檔的檔案名稱例如「xmsg.x.3gp」或「xmsg.3gp」等。其中，封裝檔的檔案名稱並不以上述為限，第一檔案轉換模組150所產生之封裝檔之副檔名亦不以「3gp」為限，其他多媒體簡訊服務所支援之檔案格式對應的副檔名都可以為本發明所使用。另外，第一檔案轉換模組150產生封裝檔之方式也不以將組合檔案封裝為多媒體簡訊服務所支援之檔案格式的檔案為限，其他方式例如，將組合檔案之副檔名「x」重新定義為多媒體簡訊服務支援之檔案格式的副檔名，如「jpg」等，或是在組合檔案的檔案名稱「xmsg.x」之後附加多媒體簡訊服務支援之檔案格式的副檔名，使得組合檔案之副檔名由原始的副檔名被轉換為第一檔案轉換模組150所預設的副檔名，也就是封裝檔的檔案名稱由「xmsg.x」被第一檔案轉換模組150轉換為「xmsg.x.3gp」或「xmsg.3gp」等。The first file conversion module 150 is configured to convert the combined file of the target file and the header file generated by the file merging module 132 into a package file of a predetermined file format, and the predetermined file format of the package file proposed by the present invention is a multimedia message. The file format of the service support. For example, the combined file "xmsg.x" consists of two files: "info.dat" and binary file "mov.s01". Therefore, the combined file "xmsg.x" will definitely not. Is the file format of the text file or multimedia file supported by the multimedia newsletter service. Therefore, when the file format specified by the first file conversion module 150 is the file format of the video file named "3gp", the first file conversion mode The group 150 will package the combined file "xmsg.x" in the file format of the video file with the extension "3gp", that is, the first file conversion module 150 will package the combined file "xmsg.x" into the auxiliary file. The location of the video is recorded in the video file named "3gp", so that the package name of the sub-file name "3gp" is generated, and the file name of the package file is "xmsg.x.3gp" or "xmsg.3gp". The file name of the package file is not limited to the above. The file name of the package file generated by the first file conversion module 150 is not limited to "3gp". The file format supported by other multimedia newsletter services corresponds to the file format. The auxiliary file name can be used for the present invention. In addition, the manner in which the first file conversion module 150 generates the package file is not limited to the file format of the file format supported by the multimedia message service. For example, the file name "x" of the combination file is re-created. Define the file name of the file format supported by the multimedia newsletter service, such as "jpg", or add the file name of the file format supported by the multimedia newsletter service after the file name of the combined file "xmsg.x". The file name is converted from the original file name to the file name preset by the first file conversion module 150, that is, the file name of the package file is converted by the first file conversion module 150 by "xmsg.x". It is "xmsg.x.3gp" or "xmsg.3gp".
第一傳輸模組160負責將第一檔案轉換模組150所產生之封裝檔加入多媒體簡訊中，並以多媒體簡訊服務發送包含第一檔案轉換模組150所產生之封裝檔的多媒體簡訊。由於多媒體簡訊需要透過多媒體簡訊服務中心400發送給接收端200，故第一傳輸模組160會將多媒體簡訊傳送到多媒體簡訊服務中心400。其中，第一傳輸模組160會依據多媒體簡訊格式，將封裝檔封裝到多媒體簡訊中記錄多媒體檔案的區域。The first transmission module 160 is configured to add the package file generated by the first file conversion module 150 to the multimedia message, and send the multimedia message including the package file generated by the first file conversion module 150 to the multimedia message service. Since the multimedia message needs to be sent to the receiving end 200 through the multimedia message service center 400, the first transmission module 160 transmits the multimedia message to the multimedia message service center 400. The first transmission module 160 encapsulates the package file into an area of the multimedia message recording the multimedia file according to the multimedia message format.
經由上述之檔案選擇模組120、檔案合併模組132、表頭建立模組136、第一檔案轉換模組150以及第一傳輸模組160等模組，傳送端100可以多媒體簡訊服務，將多個目標檔案同時發送給接收端200。Through the above-mentioned file selection module 120, file merge module 132, header creation module 136, first file conversion module 150, and first transmission module 160, the transmitting terminal 100 can provide multimedia message service, which will be more The target files are simultaneously sent to the receiving end 200.
另外，傳送端100還可以包含可附加的權重分配模組112，權重分配模組112負責為所有待傳送之目標檔案配置相對應的權重，藉以提供檔案選擇模組120依據與目標檔案所對應之權重決定目標檔案的選擇順序。一般而言，權重分配模組112會依據系統資料、多媒體影片、圖片、文字檔等排列順序配置與目標檔案對應的權重，但權重分配模組112配置權重之方式並不以此為限。In addition, the transmitting end 100 may further include an additional weight assigning module 112, and the weight assigning module 112 is configured to configure corresponding weights for all target files to be transmitted, thereby providing the file selecting module 120 according to the target file. The weight determines the order in which the target files are selected. Generally, the weight distribution module 112 configures the weight corresponding to the target file according to the order of the system data, the multimedia movie, the picture, the text file, and the like. However, the weight allocation module 112 does not limit the weight of the module.
在傳送端100包含權重分配模組112的情況下，檔案選擇模組120可以依據權重的高低選擇目標檔案，當未被選擇的目標檔案中權重最高者之檔案大小被檔案選擇模組120選出後，被選出的目標檔案之檔案大小的總合超過多媒體簡訊的預定傳送容量，則檔案選擇模組120會嘗試由未被選出之檔案中選出權重次高的目標檔案，直到所有未被選擇之檔案被選擇後都會超過多媒體簡訊的預定傳送容量為止，藉以滿足讓一則多媒體簡訊可以傳送當下最多內容之資料的期待，但本發明並不以此為限。In the case that the transmitting end 100 includes the weight assigning module 112, the file selecting module 120 can select the target file according to the weight of the weight. When the file size of the highest weighted object in the unselected target file is selected by the file selecting module 120, If the sum of the file sizes of the selected target files exceeds the predetermined transmission capacity of the multimedia message, the file selection module 120 attempts to select the target file with the second highest weight from the unselected files until all the files are not selected. After being selected, it will exceed the predetermined transmission capacity of the multimedia message to satisfy the expectation that a multimedia message can transmit the most content of the current content, but the invention is not limited thereto.
接著進一步說明接收端200，接收端200與傳送端100相似，通常為手機、PDA等手持裝置，但本發明並不以此為限，凡可以使用多媒體簡訊服務發送多媒體簡訊的裝置都可以為本發明所提之接收端200，例如「第1A圖」中之伺服器600也可以接收由傳送端100的多媒體簡訊。其中，接收端200如「第2B圖」所示，包含第二傳輸模組260、第二檔案轉換模組270、表頭擷取模組291以及檔案擷取模組295。The receiving end 200 is further described. The receiving end 200 is similar to the transmitting end 100, and is usually a handheld device such as a mobile phone or a PDA. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any device that can use the multimedia short message service to send a multimedia short message can be The receiving terminal 200 of the invention, for example, the server 600 in "A1A" can also receive the multimedia message from the transmitting end 100. The receiving end 200 includes a second transmission module 260, a second file conversion module 270, a header capture module 291, and a file capture module 295 as shown in FIG. 2B.
第二傳輸模組260負責透過多媒體簡訊服務接收由傳送端100所發出之多媒體簡訊。由於傳送端100會將多媒體簡訊發送到多媒體簡訊服務中心400，所以多媒體簡訊服務中心400在接收到傳送端100所發出之多媒體簡訊後，會傳送多媒體簡訊下載通知至接收端200，第二傳輸模組260在接收到多媒體簡訊下載通知後，會多媒體簡訊服務的技術連線到多媒體簡訊服務中心400，藉以下載由傳送端100透過多媒體簡訊服務中心400發送給接收端200的多媒體簡訊，並由所下載的多媒體簡訊中擷取出封裝在多媒體簡訊中之封裝檔。The second transmission module 260 is responsible for receiving the multimedia message sent by the transmitting end 100 through the multimedia short message service. Since the transmitting end 100 sends the multimedia short message to the multimedia short message service center 400, the multimedia short message service center 400 transmits the multimedia short message downloading notification to the receiving end 200 after receiving the multimedia short message sent by the transmitting end 100, and the second transmission mode After receiving the multimedia message downloading notification, the group 260 will connect the technology of the multimedia message service to the multimedia message service center 400 to download the multimedia message sent by the transmitting end 100 to the receiving end 200 through the multimedia message service center 400. In the downloaded multimedia newsletter, the package file encapsulated in the multimedia newsletter is extracted.
第二檔案轉換模組270負責將封裝檔轉換回組合檔案。其中，第二檔案轉換模組270將封裝檔轉換回組合檔案的方式隨著第一檔案轉換模組150轉換組合檔案為封裝檔的方式不同而不同，例如，當第一檔案轉換模組150係以預定之檔案格式，如副檔名為「jpg」之檔案格式，將組合檔案轉換為封裝檔時，第二檔案轉換模組270會以第一檔案轉換模組150所使用之檔案格式，也就是副檔名為「jpg」之檔案格式，由封裝檔的檔案內容中讀取出組合檔案，而若第一檔案轉換模組150係以將組合檔案的副檔案由原始的副檔名轉換為預定之副檔名時，第二檔案轉換模組270會將封裝檔的副檔名由第一檔案轉換模組150所預定之副檔名重新定義回組合檔案之原始的副檔名，例如，將檔案名稱為「xmsg.x.jpg」的封裝檔之副檔名「jpg」刪除，或是將檔案名稱為「xmsg.jpg」的封裝檔之副檔名由「jpg」重新定義為「x」，使得封裝檔的檔案名稱被第二檔案轉換模組270轉換為「xmsg.x」的組合檔案。The second file conversion module 270 is responsible for converting the package file back to the combined file. The manner in which the second file conversion module 270 converts the package file back into the combined file is different according to the manner in which the first file conversion module 150 converts the combined file into a package file, for example, when the first file conversion module 150 is The second file conversion module 270 will use the file format used by the first file conversion module 150 when converting the combined file into a package file in a predetermined file format, such as a file format of the file name "jpg". Is the file format of the file name "jpg", the combination file is read from the file content of the package file, and the first file conversion module 150 is converted from the original file name by the original file name. When the file name is reserved, the second file conversion module 270 re-defines the file name of the package file from the file name specified by the first file conversion module 150 to the original file name of the combination file, for example, Delete the file name "jpg" of the package file whose file name is "xmsg.x.jpg", or rename the file name of the package file whose file name is "xmsg.jpg" from "jpg" to "x". ", so that the file name of the package file is The second file conversion module 270 converts to a combined file of "xmsg.x".
表頭擷取模組291負責由第二檔案轉換模組270將封裝檔轉回之組合檔案中擷取出表頭檔。由於表頭檔係由傳送端100中的檔案合併模組132附加至組合檔案中，而傳送端100中的檔案合併模組132附加表頭檔的位置是預先決定的，所以表頭擷取模組291會至預定的位置，通常為組合檔案的最前端擷取出表頭檔，但由於表頭檔也有可能在組合檔案中的最末端，或是組合檔案中的某個固定位置，如此，表頭擷取模組291便會至組合檔案的最末端或其他的固定位置擷取表頭檔。The header capture module 291 is responsible for transferring the package file back to the combined file by the second file conversion module 270 to extract the header file. Since the header file is attached to the combined file by the file merging module 132 in the transmitting end 100, and the position of the file header module 132 in the transmitting end 100 is pre-determined, the header modulo is used. The group 291 will go to the predetermined position, usually the front end of the combined file, and the header file is taken out, but since the header file may also be at the end of the combined file, or a fixed position in the combined file, The head capture module 291 will retrieve the header file from the end of the combined file or other fixed location.
檔案擷取模組295負責依據表頭擷取模組291所擷取出之表頭檔中之目標檔案的檔案資訊，至第二檔案轉換模組270將封裝檔轉回之組合檔案中擷取目標檔案。例如，當表頭檔中依序記錄第一檔案以及第二檔案的檔案名稱以及檔案大小時，檔案擷取模組295可以先由表頭檔之最後一個位元組的下一個位元組開始，由組合檔案中擷取出與第一檔案之檔案大小相同數量的位元組，被擷取出的部分即為第一檔案，之後，檔案擷取模組295可以繼續由被擷取出之最後一個位元組的下一個位元組開始擷取與第二檔案之檔案大小相同數量的位元組，被擷取出的部分即為第二檔案。The file capture module 295 is responsible for the file information of the target file in the header file extracted by the header capture module 291, and the second file conversion module 270 converts the package file back into the combined file to capture the target. file. For example, when the file name and the file size of the first file and the second file are sequentially recorded in the header file, the file capturing module 295 may first start with the next byte of the last byte of the header file. The same number of bytes as the file size of the first file are extracted from the combined file, and the extracted portion is the first file, and then the file capturing module 295 can continue to be the last bit removed by the file. The next byte of the tuple begins to retrieve the same number of bytes as the file size of the second file, and the extracted portion is the second file.
經由上述之第二傳輸模組260、第二檔案轉換模組270、表頭擷取模組291以及檔案擷取模組295等模組，接收端200可以多媒體簡訊服務接收包含多個目標檔案的多媒體簡訊，並由接收到之多媒體簡訊中擷取出各個目標檔案。Through the above-mentioned modules of the second transmission module 260, the second file conversion module 270, the header capture module 291, and the file capture module 295, the receiving end 200 can receive a plurality of target files by using the multimedia short message service. The multimedia newsletter, and the target files are extracted from the received multimedia newsletter.
在實務上，由於傳送端100/接收端200可能同時提供傳送多媒體簡訊以及接收多媒體簡訊的功能，故傳送端100以及接收端200更可以結合為一個簡訊收發裝置300，如此，簡訊收發裝置300可以同時為傳送端100或接收端200，也就是說，簡訊收發裝置300將可以傳送合併至多媒體簡訊中的多個目標檔案，也可以由接收之多媒體簡訊中擷取出各個目標檔案。In practice, the transmitting end 100 and the receiving end 200 may simultaneously provide a function of transmitting a multimedia message and receiving a multimedia message. Therefore, the transmitting end 100 and the receiving end 200 may be combined into one short message receiving and receiving device 300. Thus, the short message receiving and receiving device 300 may At the same time, it is the transmitting end 100 or the receiving end 200, that is, the short message receiving and receiving apparatus 300 can transmit the plurality of target files merged into the multimedia short message, and the respective target files can also be extracted from the received multimedia short message.
如「第2C圖」所示，簡訊收發裝置300包含儲存模組301、檔案選擇模組320、檔案合併模組332、表頭建立模組336、第一檔案轉換模組350、傳輸模組360、第二檔案轉換模組370、表頭擷取模組392以及檔案擷取模組396以及可附加的權重配置模組312。其中，儲存模組301、權重配置模組312、檔案選擇模組320、檔案合併模組332、表頭建立模組336以及第一檔案轉換模組350分別與「第2A圖」中之儲存模組101、檔案選擇模組120、檔案合併模組132、表頭建立模組136以及第一檔案轉換模組150的功能相同，第二檔案轉換模組370、表頭擷取模組392以及檔案擷取模組396則分別與「第2B圖」中之第二檔案轉換模組270、表頭擷取模組291以及檔案擷取模組295的功能相同，故不再贅述。而傳輸模組360也同時包含了「第2A圖」中之第一傳輸模組160以及「第2B圖」中之第二傳輸模組260的功能，故也不再重複說明。As shown in FIG. 2C, the short message transceiver 300 includes a storage module 301, a file selection module 320, a file merge module 332, a header creation module 336, a first file conversion module 350, and a transmission module 360. The second file conversion module 370, the header capture module 392, and the file capture module 396 and the additional weight configuration module 312. The storage module 301, the weight configuration module 312, the file selection module 320, the file merge module 332, the header creation module 336, and the first file conversion module 350 are respectively stored in the storage mode in "A2A". The group 101, the file selection module 120, the file merge module 132, the header creation module 136, and the first file conversion module 150 have the same functions, and the second file conversion module 370, the header capture module 392, and the file The function of the capture module 396 is the same as that of the second file conversion module 270, the header capture module 291, and the file capture module 295 in FIG. 2B, and therefore will not be described again. The transmission module 360 also includes the functions of the first transmission module 160 in the "A2A" and the second transmission module 260 in the "2B", and therefore will not be repeated.
接著以一個實施例來解說本發明的運作系統與方法，並請參照「第3圖」本發明所提之以多媒體簡訊服務同時傳送多個檔案之方法流程圖以及「第4圖」之示意圖。Next, an operation system and method of the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3, a flowchart of a method for simultaneously transmitting a plurality of files by a multimedia message service and a schematic diagram of FIG. 4 are provided.
在本實施例中，假設傳送端100以及接收端200都為執行有本發明之手機，但本發明所提之傳送端100與接收端200並不以手機為限。In this embodiment, it is assumed that both the transmitting end 100 and the receiving end 200 are mobile phones having the present invention, but the transmitting end 100 and the receiving end 200 of the present invention are not limited to mobile phones.
當傳送者欲傳送檔案名稱為「data.zip」、「xmsg.dat」以及「song.mp3」等目標檔案給接收者時，若傳送者欲以其所使用之手機(傳送端100)傳送，則在傳送者透過手機的操作界面選擇儲存於傳送端100之儲存模組101中的「data.zip」、「xmsg.dat」以及「song.mp3」等三個目標檔案後，傳送端100中的檔案選擇模組120會以傳送者選擇目標檔案的順序或是被選擇之目標檔案之檔案名稱的排列順序，選擇「data.zip」、「xmsg.dat」以及「song.mp3」等目標檔案(步驟520)。When the sender wants to transmit a target file such as "data.zip", "xmsg.dat", and "song.mp3" to the recipient, if the sender wants to transmit it on the mobile phone (transmitter 100) used by the sender, Then, after the transmitter selects three target files such as "data.zip", "xmsg.dat", and "song.mp3" stored in the storage module 101 of the transmitting terminal 100 through the operation interface of the mobile phone, the transmitting terminal 100 The file selection module 120 selects target files such as "data.zip", "xmsg.dat", and "song.mp3" in the order in which the transmitter selects the target file or the file name of the selected target file. (Step 520).
在傳送端100中的檔案選擇模組120選出目標檔案(步驟520)後，傳送端100的檔案合併模組132會以特定順序將目標檔案合併為組合檔案(步驟534)。也就是說，本實施例之檔案合併模組132會將目標檔案「song.mp3」、目標檔案「data.zip」以及目標檔案「xmsg.dat」合併為副檔名固定為「x」的組合檔案「package.x」，假設檔案合併模組132係以隨機的排列順序，先將目標檔案排列為「xmsg.dat」、「song.mp3」、「data.zip」(步驟532)，再依序將目標檔案「song.mp3」合併在目標檔案「xmsg.dat」後方，並將目標檔案「data.zip」合併在目標檔案「song.mp3」後方，如此，在合併三個目標檔案後所產生的組合檔案「package.x」中，依序為目標檔案「xmsg.dat」、目標檔案「song.mp3」以及目標檔案「data.zip」。其中，檔案合併模組132合併目標檔案的順序並不以隨機的排列順序為限。After the file selection module 120 in the transmitting end 100 selects the target file (step 520), the file merge module 132 of the transmitting end 100 merges the target files into a combined file in a specific order (step 534). That is to say, the file merge module 132 of the present embodiment merges the target file "song.mp3", the target file "data.zip", and the target file "xmsg.dat" into a combination whose auxiliary file name is fixed to "x". The file "package.x" assumes that the file merge module 132 is arranged in a random order, and the target files are first arranged as "xmsg.dat", "song.mp3", "data.zip" (step 532), and then The target file "song.mp3" is merged behind the target file "xmsg.dat", and the target file "data.zip" is merged behind the target file "song.mp3". Thus, after merging the three target files, The generated combination file "package.x" is sequentially the target file "xmsg.dat", the target file "song.mp3", and the target file "data.zip". The order in which the file merge module 132 merges the target files is not limited to a random order.
在傳送端100的檔案合併模組132以特定順序將目標檔案合併為組合檔案(步驟534)後，傳送端100之表頭建立模組136會產生表頭檔(步驟536)。假設在本實施例中，表頭建立模組136會依據各個目標檔案在組合檔案「package.x」中的順序，也就是「xmsg.dat」、「song.mp3」以及「data.zip」的順序，依序將目標檔案「xmsg.dat」、「song.mp3」以及「data.zip」的檔案名稱以及檔案大小等檔案資訊(710、720、730)產生表頭檔700，如「第5A圖」所示。其中，檔案資訊710以16個位元組記錄目標檔案「xmsg.dat」的檔案名稱，並在檔案名稱之後以4個位元組記錄目標檔案「xmsg.dat」的檔案大小，同樣的，檔案資訊720以及檔案資訊730也分別以16個位元組/4個位元組記錄目標檔案「song.mp3」以及「data.zip」 的檔案名稱/檔案大小，但本發明所提之表頭檔並不以此為限。After the file merge module 132 of the transfer terminal 100 merges the target files into a combined file in a specific order (step 534), the header creation module 136 of the transfer terminal 100 generates a header file (step 536). It is assumed that in this embodiment, the header creation module 136 is based on the order of the respective target files in the combined file "package.x", that is, "xmsg.dat", "song.mp3", and "data.zip". In the order, the file files (710, 720, 730) such as the file names of the target files "xmsg.dat", "song.mp3", and "data.zip" and the file size are sequentially generated, such as "5A". Figure". The file information 710 records the file name of the target file "xmsg.dat" in 16 bytes, and records the file size of the target file "xmsg.dat" in 4 bytes after the file name. Similarly, the file The information 720 and the file information 730 also record the file name/file size of the target file "song.mp3" and "data.zip" in 16 bytes/4 bytes, respectively, but the header file of the present invention Not limited to this.
在實務上，傳送端100的檔案合併模組132將目標檔案合併為組合檔案(步驟534)以及傳送端100之表頭建立模組136產生表頭檔(步驟536)的過程可以一同被執行，例如，當檔案合併模組132合併目標檔案「xmsg.dat」以及目標檔案「song.mp3」時，表頭建立模組136同時也會以目標檔案「xmsg.dat」的檔案名稱以及檔案大小等檔案資訊710建立表頭檔700中，並將目標檔案「song.mp3」的檔案名稱以及檔案大小等檔案資訊720加入表頭檔700，而後，在檔案合併模組132合併包含目標檔案「xmsg.dat」與目標檔案「song.mp3」的組合檔案以及目標檔案「data.zip 」時，表頭建立模組136也會將目標檔案「data.zip 」的檔案名稱以及檔案大小等檔案資訊730加入表頭檔700。In practice, the process of combining the target file into the combined file by the file merge module 132 of the transmitting end 100 (step 534) and the header creation module 136 of the transmitting end 100 generating the header file (step 536) can be executed together. For example, when the file merge module 132 merges the target file "xmsg.dat" with the target file "song.mp3", the header creation module 136 also uses the file name of the target file "xmsg.dat" and the file size. The file information 710 is created in the header file 700, and the file name 720 of the target file "song.mp3" and the file size and the file size are added to the header file 700, and then the file merge module 132 is merged to include the target file "xmsg. When the combination file of the target file " song.mp3 " and the target file " data.zip " are used, the header creation module 136 also adds the file name of the target file " data.zip " and the file size 730 such as the file size. Header file 700.
在傳送端100之表頭建立模組136產生表頭檔700(步驟536)後，傳送端100的檔案合併模組132會將表頭檔700附加至組合檔案(步驟538)。假設在本實施例中，檔案合併模組132會將表頭檔700附加在組合檔案「package.x」800的最前端，如「第5B圖」所示，表頭檔700之後依序為目標檔案「xmsg.dat」820、目標檔案「song.mp3」830、以及目標檔案「data.zip」840。其中，為了讓接收端200可以區分表頭檔700以及目標檔案「xmsg.dat」820，表頭建立模組136還在表頭檔700的最後加入了「FEEF」的結束字串740，但結束字串740並不以此為限。此外，檔案合併模組132也不一定會將表頭檔700附加在組合檔案「package.x」的最前端，例如，若檔案合併模組132將表頭檔700附加在組合檔案「package.x」最後端，則表頭建立模組136便會在表頭檔700的最前方加入結束字串740。After the header creation module 136 of the transmitting end 100 generates the header file 700 (step 536), the file merge module 132 of the transmitting end 100 appends the header file 700 to the combined file (step 538). It is assumed that in the present embodiment, the file merge module 132 appends the header file 700 to the front end of the combined file "package.x" 800, as shown in "5B", and the header file 700 is sequentially targeted. The file "xmsg.dat" 820, the target file "song.mp3" 830, and the target file "data.zip" 840. In order to allow the receiving end 200 to distinguish between the header file 700 and the target file "xmsg.dat" 820, the header establishing module 136 also adds the ending string 740 of "FEEF" at the end of the header file 700, but ends. The string 740 is not limited to this. In addition, the file merge module 132 does not necessarily attach the header file 700 to the front end of the combined file "package.x". For example, if the file merge module 132 attaches the header file 700 to the combined file "package.x" At the last end, the header creation module 136 will add an end string 740 to the forefront of the header file 700.
在傳送端100的檔案合併模組132將表頭檔700附加至組合檔案(步驟538)後，由於檔案合併模組132產生之包含表頭檔以及目標檔案之組合檔案的檔案格式一定不會是多媒體簡訊服務所支援的檔案格式，因此，傳送端100的第一檔案轉換模組150會將組合檔案轉換為檔案格式為多媒體簡訊服務所支援的檔案格式的封裝檔(步驟550)。在本實施例中，假設第一檔案轉換模組150將組合檔案「package.x」800轉換為封裝檔時，所使用之預定的檔案格式為副檔名為「3gp」的檔案格式，因此，第一檔案轉換模組150會將組合檔案「package.x」當作副檔名為「3gp」之影片檔的影片內容，並在組合檔案之前及/或之後加入副檔名為「3gp」的檔案格式的表頭，藉以將組合檔案「package.x」封裝為封裝檔「package.x.3gp」。After the file merge module 132 of the transmitting end 100 attaches the header file 700 to the combined file (step 538), the file format of the combined file including the header file and the target file generated by the file merge module 132 must not be The file format supported by the multimedia newsletter service, therefore, the first file conversion module 150 of the transmitting end 100 converts the combined file into an archive file format of the file format supported by the multimedia newsletter service (step 550). In this embodiment, it is assumed that when the first file conversion module 150 converts the combined file "package.x" 800 into a package file, the predetermined file format used is the file format of the sub-file name "3gp", therefore, The first file conversion module 150 will use the combined file "package.x" as the video content of the video file whose subtitle name is "3gp", and add the auxiliary file name "3gp" before and/or after the combined file. The header of the file format is used to encapsulate the combined file "package.x" into the package file "package.x.3gp".
在傳送端100的第一檔案轉換模組150將組合檔案轉換為封裝檔(步驟550)後，傳送端100的第一傳輸模組160會以多媒體簡訊的格式，將封裝檔「package.x.3gp」封裝至多媒體簡訊中存放多媒體檔案的位置，而後，第一傳輸模組160會使用多媒體簡訊服務，將包含封裝檔「package.x.3gp」的多媒體簡訊發送給接收端200。After the first file conversion module 150 of the transmitting end 100 converts the combined file into the package file (step 550), the first transmission module 160 of the transmitting end 100 will package the file "package.x." in the format of the multimedia message. The 3gp package is encapsulated in the location of the multimedia file in the multimedia message, and then the first transmission module 160 sends the multimedia message containing the package file "package.x.3gp" to the receiving end 200 using the multimedia message service.
在接收端200的第二傳輸模組260接收到由傳送端100所傳送之多媒體簡訊後，接收端200的第二傳輸模組260會依據多媒體簡訊的格式，由多媒體簡訊中取出封裝檔「package.x.3gp」。如此，傳送端100便以多媒體簡訊服務傳送封裝檔「package.x.3gp」至接收端200(步驟560a)。After the second transmission module 260 of the receiving end 200 receives the multimedia message transmitted by the transmitting end 100, the second transmission module 260 of the receiving end 200 extracts the package file "package" from the multimedia message according to the format of the multimedia message. .x.3gp". In this manner, the transmitting end 100 transmits the package file "package.x.3gp" to the receiving end 200 by using the multimedia short message service (step 560a).
接著，接收端200的第二檔案轉換模組270會將封裝檔「package.x.3gp」轉換回組合檔案(步驟570)。在本實施例中，由於傳送端100之第一檔案轉換模組150係將組合檔案800轉換成副檔名為「3gp」之檔案格式的封裝檔，故第二檔案轉換模組270同樣會以副檔名為「3gp」之檔案格式，去除封裝檔「package.x.3gp」中副檔名為「3gp」之檔案格式的表頭，藉以將封裝檔「package.x.3gp」轉換為傳送端100之檔案合併模組132產生之組合檔案「package.x」800。Next, the second file conversion module 270 of the receiving end 200 converts the package file "package.x.3gp" back to the combined file (step 570). In this embodiment, since the first file conversion module 150 of the transmitting end 100 converts the combined file 800 into a file format file format of the file name "3gp", the second file conversion module 270 also The file name of the file name "3gp" is removed, and the header of the file format "3gp" in the package file "package.x.3gp" is removed to convert the package file "package.x.3gp" into a file format. The combined file "package.x" 800 generated by the file merge module 132 of the terminal 100.
在接收端200的第二檔案轉換模組270將封裝檔轉換為組合檔案(步驟570)後，接收端200的表頭擷取模組291會由第二檔案轉換模組270由封裝檔轉換回之組合檔案800中擷取出表頭檔700(步驟580)。由於在本實施例中，表頭檔700在組合檔案「package.x」800的最前端，並以「FEEF」的結束字串740區隔第一個目標檔案「xmsg.dat」，因此，表頭擷取模組291只要由組合檔案「package.x」800的第一個位元組開始，當讀取到連續四個位元組為「FEEF」時便結束讀取，如此，表頭擷取模組291由組合檔案800中所讀取的資料便是表頭檔700。After the second file conversion module 270 of the receiving end 200 converts the package file into the combined file (step 570), the header capture module 291 of the receiving end 200 is converted back from the package file by the second file conversion module 270. The header file 700 is retrieved from the combination file 800 (step 580). In the present embodiment, the header file 700 is at the forefront of the combined file "package.x" 800, and the first target file "xmsg.dat" is separated by the end string 740 of "FEEF". The head capture module 291 starts with the first byte of the combined file "package.x" 800, and ends when the read four consecutive bytes are "FEEF". Thus, the header 撷The data read by the module 291 from the combined file 800 is the header file 700.
在接收端200的表頭擷取模組291由組合檔案800中擷取出表頭檔700(步驟580)後，接收端200的檔案擷取模組295便會依據表頭檔700，由接收端200的第二檔案轉換模組270由封裝檔轉換回之組合檔案800中擷取出各個目標檔案(步驟590)。After the header capture module 291 of the receiving end 200 extracts the header file 700 from the combined file 800 (step 580), the file capturing module 295 of the receiving end 200 is based on the header file 700, and is received by the receiving end. The second file conversion module 270 of 200 retrieves each target file from the combined file 800 converted back from the package file (step 590).
由於在本實施例中，表頭檔700所包含的每個檔案資訊都以16個位元組記錄目標檔案的檔案名稱，並以4個位元組記錄目標檔案的檔案大小，因此，接收端200的檔案擷取模組295可以每次由表頭檔700中讀出20個位元組，其中前16個位元組即為目標檔案的檔案名稱，後4個位元組即為目標檔案的檔案大小，例如，在檔案擷取模組295由表頭檔700中讀出前20個位元組(檔案資訊710)後，檔案擷取模組295會依據檔案資訊710所記錄之目標檔案的檔案大小「1KB」，由組合檔案800中之表頭檔700的下一個位元組開始擷取1KB的資料，被擷取出的資料即為目標檔案「xmsg.dat」，故檔案擷取模組295會命名擷取出的資料為目標檔案「xmsg.dat」。In this embodiment, each file information included in the header file 700 records the file name of the target file in 16 bytes, and records the file size of the target file in 4 bytes. Therefore, the receiving end The file capture module 295 of 200 can read 20 bytes each time from the header file 700, wherein the first 16 bytes are the file name of the target file, and the last 4 bytes are the target file. The file size, for example, after the file capture module 295 reads the first 20 bytes (file information 710) from the header file 700, the file capture module 295 will record the target file according to the file information 710. The file size is "1KB". The first byte of the header file 700 in the combined file 800 starts to capture 1KB of data. The extracted data is the target file "xmsg.dat", so the file capture module 295 will name the extracted data as the target file "xmsg.dat".
在接收端200的檔案擷取模組295讀出目標檔案「xmsg.dat」後，會繼續由表頭檔700中讀取第21至40位元組，也就是檔案資訊720，並由組合檔案「package.x」800中的第1088(64+1024)個位元組之後的位元組開始，擷取12KB的資料，並命名被擷取出的資料為「song.mp3」，如此便完成目標檔案「song.mp3」的擷取。同樣的，檔案擷取模組295可以依據表頭檔700第41至60個位元組所記錄的檔案資訊730，繼續由組合檔案800中擷取出目標檔案「data.zip」。如此，使用者便可以一個多媒體簡訊傳送多個目標檔案給接收者。After the file capture module 295 of the receiving end 200 reads the target file "xmsg.dat", it will continue to read the 21st to 40th byte, that is, the file information 720, from the header file 700, and the combined file The byte after the 1088th (64+1024) byte in "package.x" 800 starts, draws 12KB of data, and names the extracted data as "song.mp3", thus completing the target. The capture of the file "song.mp3". Similarly, the file capture module 295 can continue to extract the target file "data.zip" from the combined file 800 according to the file information 730 recorded by the 41st to 60th bytes of the header file 700. In this way, the user can transmit multiple target files to the recipient in one multimedia message.
綜上所述，可知本發明與先前技術之間的差異在於傳送端合併多個目標檔案為組合檔案後，將組合檔案轉換為封裝檔並透過多媒體簡訊傳送封裝檔至接收端，接收端會在將封裝檔轉換回組合檔案後，由組合檔案中擷取出各個目標檔案之技術手段，藉由此一技術手段可以解決先前技術所存在以多媒體簡訊服務傳送資料的安全性不高的問題，進而達成以多媒體簡訊服務傳送不支援之檔案格式的檔案之技術功效。In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that after the transmitting end merges multiple target files into a combined file, the combined file is converted into a package file and the package file is transmitted to the receiving end through the multimedia message, and the receiving end is After the package file is converted back to the combined file, the technical means for extracting each target file from the combined file can solve the problem that the prior art has low security of transmitting data by the multimedia newsletter service, thereby achieving the problem The technical effect of transmitting files in unsupported file formats using the multimedia newsletter service.
在上述兩實施例中，若傳送端100包含權重配置模組112，則在傳送端100的檔案選擇模組120選擇檔案大小之總合不超過多媒體簡訊之最大容量之目標檔案(步驟520)前，權重配置模組112會先為所有待傳送的檔案配置相對應的權重(步驟510)，使得檔案選擇模組120在選擇目標檔案(步驟520)時，會依據目標檔案所對應之權重的順序，依序選擇目標檔案。In the above two embodiments, if the transmitting end 100 includes the weight configuration module 112, before the file selection module 120 of the transmitting end 100 selects the target file whose file size does not exceed the maximum capacity of the multimedia message (step 520). The weighting module 112 first configures the corresponding weights for all the files to be transmitted (step 510), so that the file selection module 120 selects the target files (step 520) according to the order of the weights corresponding to the target files. , select the target file in order.
在上述實施例中，若權重配置模組112會依據系統資料、影片檔、聲音檔、圖片檔、文字檔、其他類型檔案等排列順序，分別配置與聲音檔「song.mp3」、系統檔「data.zip」、系統檔「xmsg.dat」以及未知類型的檔案「info.x」等目標檔案對應的權重，假設分別為「30」、「10」以及「10」，如此，當檔案選擇模組120會以較小的權重優先的順序，先選擇目標檔案「xmsg.dat」以及「data.zip」，之後，由於檔案選擇模組120會判斷出目標檔案「song.mp3」的檔案大小超過多媒體簡訊的剩餘容量，因此檔案選擇模組120將不會選擇目標檔案「song.mp3」，而是由目標檔案「song.mp3」之外，其他尚未被選擇之目標檔案中，選擇相對應之權重最高的目標檔案，也就是目標檔案「info.x」，使得檔案合併模組132合併目標檔案「xmsg.dat」、「data.zip」以及「info.x」為組合檔案。In the above embodiment, if the weight configuration module 112 is arranged according to the system data, the video file, the sound file, the image file, the text file, and other types of files, the sound file "song.mp3" and the system file are respectively configured. The weights corresponding to the target files such as data.zip, the system file "xmsg.dat", and the unknown type of file "info.x" are assumed to be "30", "10", and "10", respectively. The group 120 selects the target files "xmsg.dat" and "data.zip" in a smaller priority order, after which the file selection module 120 determines that the file size of the target file "song.mp3" exceeds The remaining capacity of the multimedia message, so the file selection module 120 will not select the target file "song.mp3", but the target file "song.mp3", other target files that have not yet been selected, select the corresponding file. The target file with the highest weight, that is, the target file "info.x", causes the file merge module 132 to merge the target files "xmsg.dat", "data.zip", and "info.x" into a combined file.
