  • Patent number: 6597918
    Abstract: There are provided an apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a long message by SMS (Short Message Service) in a digital portable terminal. Upon request of the SMS message transmission, a message inputted by a user is read. The read message is divided into a plurality of shorter messages with a predetermined length if the read message exceeds the maximum allowable SMS message. A header having a long message ID and divided message sequence information are generated for each divided message. The short divided messages are generated by assembling each divided message with a header and transmitting successively in an appropriate order. Upon receipt of the successive short messages, a predetermined unique long message ID is detected from the header of each short message, and the message sequence information is read from the header if the long message ID is detected from the header.

  • Patent number: 6028931
    Abstract: An encryption code decoding prevention circuit for a semiconductor memory device, such as an EPROM, includes a plurality of encryption code cells, an encryption word line operator, a word line operator, a plurality of read data encrypting processors for encrypting data output from memory cells, and an output data detector for enabling an output detecting signal when all bit lines are judged not to have data thereon, by checking an n-bit output applied from the read data encrypting processors to an output buffer. The output buffer amplifies the n-bit data output from the read data encrypting processors and outputs an output data of "1" each time a carry value is applied thereto from the encryption word line operator. The circuit prevents encrypted data from being exposed by making it appear as if unused memory cells are in use by simulating data values of "1" for each of the unused cells.
