BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of Invention 
     The present invention pertains to a method of communication and the device for the same. More specifically, the invention relates to a method through web page to let a phone&#39;s owner and a caller communicate with each other and the device for the same. 
     2. Related Art 
     The usage of a cellular phone is an important part of modern people life. No matter a salesman, a businessperson, a student or just one of the public, most of them rely on it to be a tool to communicate with one another in daily life. Now cellular phones spread widely because the interactions between people tend towards frequent and complicated in such an informative society. Specially living in a highly modernized society, a phone&#39;s owner still needs to keep in touch with others or receive outside information whenever and wherever, and more particular a phone&#39;s owner needs to make a two-way communication in real time. 
     From cellular phones coming out to now, their models and functions both change with each passing day. In addition to some important functions such like call displaying and call shocking, a lot of cellular phones further announce that they have WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) function. A cellular phone with WAP function is able to let its owner browses the Internet and receiving-sending e-mails so as to provide an advanced method to catch information. Even though it is, the functions of cellular phones are still a little bit insufficient. For example: 
     1. If a phone&#39;s owner is in an important meeting, coping with an significant matter or staying in a private time, doing something personal like marrying or travelling abroad, he/she doesn&#39;t want to be disturbed but is not willing to close his/her cellular phone to omit any important phone call as well. What is it going to do? 
     2. Sometimes because of work requirements or personal factors, the phone&#39;s owner needs to pass on his/her news to callers, like being in a meeting or on a vacation, but he/she is not able to notify everybody one by one just for a short while. Under above a situation, how is it to do of letting callers know what is going on? 
     3. The format and length of the text messages, which the cellular phones are able to transmit, have large restriction. Under above a situation, how is it to do of letting callers leave a message as detailed as possible? 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the invention to solve the insufficient part of the cellular phones, so as to suit the different requirements of the phone&#39;s owner and let he/she and callers are able to pass messages with each other more conveniently and flexibly. 
     According to the above object, the present invention provides a method of communication through web page and the device for the same. In addition to the necessary components of a general cellular phone, the device of the present invention further needs a built-in modem, software supporting TCP/IP and HTTP protocols and a memory storing a personal web page. It provides two new ways of communication to the phone&#39;s owner. The first one is setting the modem on a responsive status when the phone&#39;s owner is not able to answer any phone call. After the client end&#39;s dialing, the present invention automatically passes the personal web page to the other side to understand the schedule and situation of the phone&#39;s owner. The other one is used when the client end and the phone&#39;s owner are both going online. After the client end&#39;s inputting the telephone number of the cellular phone, a special translative tool in ISP (Internet Service Provider) translates the telephone number into an IP address of the personal web page so that the client end is able to access the web page and leave messages or chat with phone&#39;s owner. Thus it can be known that the present invention is not only flexibly fitting the requirements of the phone&#39;s owner in different period but also convenient that even deaf-mute people is able to use it normally. 
     Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The cellular phone under the present invention&#39;s structure has the function of a web page&#39;s provider. In other words, the cellular phone contains a personal web page  1 , which disposition is shown as FIG.  1 . The personal web page  1  is a kind of communicative bridge between the phone&#39;s owner and callers. So even the phone&#39;s owner is not able to answer any phone call, the callers still understand every important matter and schedule of the phone&#39;s owner from the personal web page. Moreover, the callers are able to leave messages or chat with the phone&#39;s owner through the personal web page. 
     There are a variety of types of the disposition of the personal web page  1 . As shown in FIG. 1, the personal web page  1  is divided into two main areas named Status Area  11  and Message Area  12 . Status Area  11  shows the schedule, the important events and the diary (or the records) of the phone&#39;s owner. It lets callers realize the situation of the phone&#39;s owner, for instance: maybe the phone&#39;s owner is in meeting, in a business trip or travel abroad for a vocation, through the content of Status Area  11  when the callers make a phone call to the phone&#39;s owner. Message Area  12  is further divided into two subareas named Client Subarea  121  and Owner Subarea  122 . The phone&#39;s owner is capable of leaving news behind in the Owner Subarea  122  and callers are capable of leaving messages in the Client Subarea  121  as well after their accessing the personal web page  1 . If the phone&#39;s owner is also browsing the personal web page  1  in the meantime, both side of them are capable of chatting with each other in the Message Area  12 . Because the way of “conversation” is soundless, nobody will be bothered in the surroundings of the cellular phone. It is convenient that even deaf-mute people also use it normally. Moreover, because the data format of the cellular phone capable of transmitting is restricted and it is considered of the time of transmission, the personal web page  1  shows text primarily. The disposition of the personal web page  1  described above is just an example. The type of the disposition of the personal web page  1  is not going to be restricted by the example. 
     The method of the present invention has two embodiments. The first one is shown as FIG.  2 . When a client end  21  has an input of the telephone number of the present invention&#39;s device  22  on its browser and dials the number, it transmits a communicating signal to the present invention&#39;s device  22 . Then the present invention&#39;s device  22  checks whether its built-in modem is set on a responsive status or not. If it is, the personal web page  1  will be automatically passed to the other side. If it is not, a normal procedure of phone&#39;s ringing or shocking will be caused. 
     The practice basing on the first embodiment is easier, more direct and faster, and its operation is more convenient, too. Nevertheless, due to its transmission in communicating process is through a telephone system. Users need to pay the expense of telephone. If it is a long-distance call, the expense will be higher. 
     So the method of the present invention further brings up a second embodiment, which work&#39;s content is shown as FIG.  3 . This is a kind of method that can save expense, but the ISP (Internet Service Provider)  23   a  of the client end  21  must support a special translating tool  231 , which contains a relationship between a IP address and the telephone number of the device  22  so as to automatically translate the telephone number into its corresponding IP address. It is working as following the client end  21  goes online first, and input the telephone number of the device  22  on the location of URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of its browser. Then, the translating tool  231  in ISP  23   a  translates the telephone number into its corresponding IP address so that the client end  21  is able to access the personal web page  1  from the present invention&#39;s device  22 . However, if the present invention&#39;s device  22  doesn&#39;t dial its ISP  23   b  to get online, the client end  21  can not find the web page  1 . 
     No matter in practice or operation, the communicating method basing on the first embodiment is more complicated then the first one. But it has an advantage of just paying the expense of network. It transmits messages only through network, so it is needless to pay expense of telephone system capable of saving plenty of long-distance telephone due. 
     Whatever the first embodiment or the second embodiment described above, the present invention&#39;s device must have a built-in modem so as to get online and send web page. However, except the client end  21  is a cellular phone, but is able to be chosen as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a notebook, a PC (Personal Computer) or a HPC (Hand-held PC). As long as they have an online function, they all can perform the method of the present invention. 
     Referring to FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of sending web page by the present invention&#39;s device. When the present invention&#39;s device receives a requirement from the client end (step  401 ), first, checking whether the modem is set on a responsive status or has dialed ISP to get online (step  402 ). If there is none of them, the present invention&#39;s device keeps proceeding the normal procedure of answering telephone (step  403 ), like ringing for being aware of the phone&#39;s owner. If there is any one of them, the procedure goes into a low protocol layer for analyzing (step  404 ). Wherein it is necessary to pass through PPP Link (Point-to-Point Protocol Link) (step  404   a ), IP Layer (Internet Protocol Layer) (step  404   b ) and TCP Layer (Transmission Control Protocol Layer)(step  404   c ). The three protocols mentioned above are standard protocols of online browsing. Their implements of software are so easy to be achieved by people skilled in the art to put other detailed description here. After the analyzing of the three protocols, the procedure goes into HTTP (Hyper Text Transmission Protocol) layer (step  405 ) so as to let its socket port ready for sending the web page. Then the procedure goes into preparing the personal web page ready (step  406 ). It is a function of an application layer. Before sending the personal web page, let it pass through the analyzing of the low protocol layer (step  407 ). With the same way, it is necessary to pass through TCP Layer (Transmission Control Protocol Layer) (step  407   a ), IP Layer (Internet Protocol Layer) (step  407   b ) and PPP Link (Point-to-Point Protocol Link) (step  407   c ). The contents of above three protocols (step  407 ) are the same with previous threes (step  404 ) but their orders of execution are opposite. Because the previous low protocol layer (step  404 ) is doing for receiving signals, the present one is doing for sending messages. Similarly, the implements of software are so easy to be achieved by people skilled in the art to put other detailed description here. Finally, the present invention executes the step of sending the personal web page to the client end (step  408 ). 
     The hardware structure of the present invention is shown as FIG. 5, which comprises: a input unit  54 , a port  55 , a CPU (central processing unit)  50 , a display  53 , a modem  52  and memories  51 . The input unit  54  is a kind of device, like a button, a keyboard or a touch panel, capable of inputting signals by its owner. So the phone&#39;s owner is able to set the modem on a responsive status, get online or write down messages in the personal web page through the input unit  54 . A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is chosen to be the display  53  which is an interface of showing the personal web page. The CPU  50  plays a control role including controlling the processes while software is running and being a center of coordinating the memories  51 , the modem  52 , the port  55  and the input unit  54 . The memories  51  further comprise a flash memory  511 , a DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory)  512 , a ROM (Read-Only Memory)  513  and a SRAM (Static RAM)  514 . The flash memory  511  and the DRAM  512  are the space of storing data and statistics when the CPU  50  works. The ROM  513  and the SRAM  514  are used to store the personal web page, the messages written by the phone&#39;s owner and other related data. Of course, the built-in modem  52  is necessary for transmitting the personal web page to network, wherein further divided into two parts of a microprocessor  521  and a digit transmission part  522 . The microprocessor  521  is responsible for coping with the signals transmitted from the CPU  50 , and accesses the data stored in the ROM  513  and the SRAM  514 , and then pass to the digit transmission part  522  to send out. Otherwise, the present invention&#39;s device further comprises a port  55  to be the interface of receiving telephone signals. 
     Due to the present invention is applied in a cellular phone, except the hardware described above, the present invention&#39;s device further needs some essential components of a general cellular phone, such like a DTMF (Dual-Tone Multifrequency) generator  64 , a call displaying device  61 , a DAA (Data Access Arrangement) circuit  62 , a communicating circuit  65 , a wireless circuit  67 , a mike  68 , a handset  66 , a bell  63 , a amplifier  69 , a speaker  70  and a power supplier  71  and so on. Similarly, the implements of the hardware described above are easy to be achieved by people skilled in the art to put other detailed description here. 
     The present invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
