Abstract
Abstract A method for generating multimedia events such as images and/or sound in a mobile station uses a Short Message Service (SMS) or the like. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a short message service center sends the data corresponding to the multimedia event selected by an originating mobile station only after the SMC makes sure that there is no data corresponding to the selected event in a receiving mobile station. A new teleservice, Multimedia Teleservice, is added to the SMS transport layer, and the User Data in the teleservice layer located under the transport layer now includes CHARi field or the like. The CHARi field performs control of the data transmission by supplying control fields including a multimedia event index and data fields in the user data.
