The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal for providing a connection log for data communication.

In the case of a voice call in a mobile communication terminal, a corresponding log is left on the terminal, and when a call button is pressed, a previously accessed log is displayed. Depending on the manufacturer, the received text message may be displayed. If one of the logs is selected and the call button is pressed, the phone number will be accessed. However, mobile phones, which are typical mobile communication terminals, are based on voice calls, and thus do not provide logs for data communication, particularly Internet access.

1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of accessing the Internet using a conventional mobile communication terminal having no internet connection log function.

When a user continuously enters the number 333 to use a mobile address service called WINC (Wireless Internet Numbers for Contents) and presses an Internet access button, 333 is transmitted to the mobile communication network (100). The user's mobile communication terminal accesses the site corresponding to 333, and the user terminates the connection after performing necessary tasks (110). Then, when the user presses the call button to reconnect, only the log related to the voice call is displayed (120). Therefore, the user must input a mobile address entirely depending on the memory (130), and when a wrong mobile address is input, access to a desired site fails (140).

In addition, if the user enters the identifier ** and 333 consecutively to use the internal service of the mobile carrier called Hot Number or Page Plus, and then presses the Internet access button, the 333 is transmitted to the mobile network and the mapping of the mobile network is performed. The server translates the actual address corresponding to 333 into the mobile communication terminal of the user (100). If the user presses the call button, the user receives an SMS including a callback URL for accessing an Internet site corresponding to 333. If the user selects the call button, the mobile communication terminal is connected to the mobile communication network. Thereafter, the user's mobile communication terminal accesses a site corresponding to 333, and the user terminates the connection after performing the necessary work (110). Then, when the user presses the call button to reconnect, only the log related to the voice call is displayed (120). Therefore, the user must input the mobile address 130 entirely depending on the memory, and when a wrong mobile address is input, access to a desired site fails.

Since the log of the wireless Internet direct access service as described above is not displayed on the terminal, reconnection through the information may be dependent on the memory of the user or a medium providing the information. In addition, even when the access log is displayed on the terminal, only the corresponding code and numeric information may be insufficient as the information about the access site.

Current mobile communication terminals, particularly mobile phones, may attempt to access the Internet directly from the standby screen even if the mobile communication terminal does not switch to the data communication mode. Therefore, even if a browser that records its own log is mounted, it is very inconvenient to check and access the log after driving it one by one.

In addition, the connection log generation unit 200 may check the data call origination by detecting the operation of the communication processing unit 240 to create a data call path. When the internet connection operation is confirmed, a connection log is generated using the input internet address as connection information. In case of data call, the above mobile address (WINC, hot number, etc.) service and character connection service should be handled separately. In case of mobile address service, http: // * is added before the number entered by the user. In the case of characters, http: // !! is added. From the terminal's point of view, the service character can be detected by detecting each function operation mode, and even letters can be composed of Korean, English, special characters, and numbers. In the case of data call reception, the connection log is generated by receiving the calling party information from the mobile communication network or extracting the calling address.

In the case of a data call transmission using the access medium, when the program for photographing (or scanning) the access medium is driven, the connection log generator 200 detects that the Internet connection operation is performed, and then extracts the Internet address extracted from the access medium. Create a connection log. On the other hand, when the mobile terminal transmits an image of the access medium to the mobile network, in the embodiment of extracting the Internet address from the image received by the mobile network system, the mobile terminal receives the Internet address from the mobile network system or the Internet address A connection log is generated after setting up a data call to the corresponding destination.

In the case of message reception, the connection log generator 200 checks whether the Internet address is included in the header or the body of the incoming message and generates a connection log if it is included.

The storage unit 210 stores the connection log generated by the connection log generator. The connection log includes a call identifier and connection information, and may further include unique information. Preferably, the connection log for the voice call and the connection log for the data call may be stored to be distinguished from each other. Of course, the message is also preferably stored to be distinguished from other connection logs. The connection log may further include a call origination / reception time and a call termination time. You can also add the location information where the data call originated.

The connection log processor 220 detects when a call button or an internet access button is pressed, sorts the connection logs stored in the storage 210 in a predetermined manner, and then assigns an identification mark according to a call identifier to display the mobile communication terminal. Output to (not shown). The list of connection logs output through the display is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. An example of the screen display shown in FIG. 7 is according to an embodiment for simultaneously outputting a voice call, a data call and a message, and FIG. 8 is according to an embodiment for outputting only a data call. That is, when the call button is pressed, the connection log processing unit 220 sorts and outputs all connection logs stored in the storage unit 210, whereby the user can check the connection log for all communication attempted up to now. . Similarly, when the user presses the Internet access button, only the connection log for the data call is output, so that the user can check only the connection log for Internet communication. In addition, the connection log processing unit 220 further performs the connection log management to sort the connection log stored in the storage unit 210 based on the transmission / reception time and to delete the connection log exceeding a certain number or the storage period is exceeded. do. The connection log can be sorted according to various criteria such as order of call / reception time, number of call / reception, dictionary order, location information, and the number of connection logs to be output at the same time.

Meanwhile, in addition to a function of outputting a plurality of connection logs in a list form, the connection log processor 220 extracts detailed information of the selected connection log from the storage unit 210 through a display when a specific connection log is selected by the user. Output Detailed information of the connection log includes a call origination time and unique information, and may further include a connection time.

The user interface 230 includes an alpha-numeric keypad for entering a phone number or Internet address, a function button for controlling call origination / incoming (call button, Internet access button, etc.) and a menu for selecting and executing a built-in program. Consists of a button.

The communication processor 240 includes a baseband modem and a wireless signal processor, sets a voice call or a data call with the base station, and performs a function of exchanging voice signals or data through the established call path.

The unique information extracting unit 250 identifies the destination connected by the connection information or extracts the unique information representing the information about the destination to be accessed by the Internet address included in the message from the electronic document and stores the connection information stored in the storage unit 210. Insert into the log. Here, the unique information is information for identifying a destination currently accessed by the user through an electronic document such as a web page provided by the site, and means information such as a title of the web page. A message is also a kind of electronic document, and information identifying the corresponding message can be extracted and used as unique information from information included in the header or body of the message. For example, the first sentence of a body of a message or a predetermined number of characters may be used as unique information.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a connection log generation process for an originating signal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In step 300, the mobile communication terminal receives connection information.

The call identifier field 340 and the connection information field 345 include a call identifier and a call identifier in the case of a data call origination using an Internet address. The connection information is stored respectively, and since the unique information field 370 is stored after accessing the destination corresponding to the connection information, no information is recorded.

In step 350, when an electronic document such as a web page is received from the destination, unique information for identifying the destination according to a predetermined method is extracted from the received electronic document. As shown in the figure, when connected to http://naver.com, the web page provided by the connected site is an HTML document, and the title of the HTML document can be identified by an identifier called Title. The identifiable title is extracted as unique information. Referring to FIG. 6, (A) is an HTML document provided by a connected site, and the <title> Jaw Killer Horror Party </ title> part is displayed as the title of the corresponding site when displayed on the display of the actual mobile communication terminal. . FIG. 6B shows header information of the same site, and the title "Joskiller Horror Party" is identified by the identifier "cp_title".

In step 360, the extracted unique information is recorded in the unique information field of the connection log.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a connection log generation process for an incoming call according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In operation 400, the communication processor 240 receives an incoming call from the mobile communication network.

In step 410, it is determined whether the incoming call is a message or a voice / data call. If not, the flow proceeds to step 420. If the message is a message, the flow proceeds to step 440.

If the incoming call is not a message, in step 420, it is determined whether the incoming call is a data call, and if not, the flow proceeds to step 425, and if the incoming call is a data call, proceeds to step 430.

If the incoming call is a voice call, in step 425 the calling party's telephone number is extracted from the CID information sent with the incoming call.

If the incoming call is a data call, in step 430, the originating address is extracted from the calling party information received from the mobile communication network.

If the incoming call is a message, in step 440 it is determined whether the message contains an Internet address, and if it does not contain an Internet address, the process proceeds to step 445 and if it contains an internet address, step 450.

If the incoming call is a message that does not include an Internet address, then in step 445 the caller's telephone number included in the header of the message is extracted.

If the incoming call is a message including an Internet address, in step 450 the Internet address information is extracted from the message.

In step 460, a call log corresponding to the extracted telephone number or Internet address is allocated to generate a connection log and stored in the storage unit 210 (step 470).

In step 480, when the calling party information including the information identifying the caller is provided in the mobile communication network or the message is received, the corresponding information is extracted.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a connection log display process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In step 500, if the user inputs a connection log display request, it is detected. The request to display the connection log means pressing the call button or the Internet access button. In the voice call mode, pressing the call button and pressing the internet access button can be distinguished and display different connection log lists.

In step 510, the connection log stored in the storage is read. Here, when the call button is pressed, it is preferable to read a certain number of connection logs without distinguishing voice, data, and messages, and when the Internet access button is pressed, it is preferable to read only the connection log for messages including data calls and Internet addresses.

In step 520, a predetermined identification mark is given according to the call identifier of the read connection log and output to the display together with the connection information. Here, the unique information may be output together with the connection information or may be output instead of the connection information.

In operation 530, a signal for selecting one of the connection logs output through the user interface is received. Using the connection information included in the selected connection log, data call origination is performed to the desired destination (step 540).

As described above, the inconvenience of reconnecting depending on the user's memory has been eliminated by providing the connection log for the origination and the reception of the data call. In addition, since a message including an Internet address is managed by the connection log, the inconvenience of a user looking through the phone book and a messaging program to find the connection log is eliminated. In addition, since a connection log including unique information for identifying a site or a calling / receiving party connected through data communication is provided, user convenience is further improved.
