The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wireless internet automatic switching connection function and a control method thereof. In particular, a wireless internet access signal is built in advance in a terminal in which a setting value of a mobile communication network required for a PS (Packet Switching) call connection is embedded. The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wireless internet automatic switching connection function for automatically connecting and changing a set value of a stored mobile communication network when inputted, and a control method thereof.

In general, wireless data communication refers to a communication function of wirelessly transmitting and receiving various data such as letters, numbers, and images through a base station system using a portable terminal capable of wireless transmission and reception. For example, it is a mobile communication system that exchanges or retrieves data in both directions while moving by using various terminals such as a cellular phone, a portable computer, a facsimile, and a credit card inquiry machine. However, recently, universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS), that is, universal mobile telecommunication systems have been developed, and thus, the service field of mobile communication terminals has been greatly expanded, and such UMTS is a European Telecommunication Standards Association (ETSI). ) Is a long-term system of integrated mobile communication system that combines all kinds of mobile communication such as cellular type mobile communication, cordless telephone (CT), telepoint, wireless LAN and wireless calling. In addition, the UMTS is limited only to the data transmission rate according to the user's location (environment) and the capacity of the system, and can provide the same type of service without any limitation in place, and code division multiple access (CDMA), multimedia It is a system that provides transmission speed of up to 2Mbps by combining new technology and realizing mixed cell structure.

Then, referring to the conventional mobile communication system as described above with reference to FIG. 1, a base station 71 for wirelessly processing function signals transmitted from a plurality of terminals 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message, and the base station ( 71) MSC 72 for controlling the transmission function of the call signal or SMS message input via. In this case, the terminal 70 is provided with a specific supplementary service, for example, a USSD (packet service data) service.

On the other hand, referring to the operation of the conventional mobile communication terminal as described above, first, when the user of the terminal 70 opens the folder 73 and presses the telephone number signal through the keypad 74, the telephone number signal is the LCD panel ( At the same time as displayed on the (75) and the radio signal processing by the terminal 70 is transmitted to the base station (71). The base station 71 transmits the call signal of the input terminal 70 to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 analyzes the input call signal data to recognize the destination telephone number and transmits the call signal to the base station (not shown) of the corresponding destination. Therefore, the destination base station relays the transmitted call signal and connects the call to the counterpart terminal 76. At this time, when the call is formed by the above process, the terminal 70 executes a normal call with the counterpart terminal 76.

When the user of the terminal 70 sets the packet service function through the keypad 74 during the above process, the terminal 70 displays various packet service menu screens, for example, in the form of WAP, on the LCD panel 75. At this time, the user of the terminal 70 presses the corresponding item on the packet service menu screen displayed on the LCD panel 75 through the keypad 74 when the desired item among the displayed items is desired. Then, the terminal 70 transmits the selected packet service request information to the base station 71, and accordingly the base station 71 transmits the corresponding packet service request information to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 receives the information desired by the terminal user from the Internet server 77 according to the input packet service request information, and transmits the information to the terminal 70 through the base station 71 in the form of a packet. Accordingly, the terminal 70 receives the information selected by the terminal in the form of a packet and displays the information on the LCD panel 75.

In this case, when the terminal 70 receives a packet service from another mobile communication network, for example, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), and then moves to WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access), the terminal user uses the current terminal 70 through his terminal 70. After checking the network type, change the setting value of the network, for example, the WCDMA setting value, and set the PS (packet switching) again to restart the wireless Internet.

However, the conventional mobile communication terminal as described above checks the network type currently selected by the terminal, for example, GSM, GPRS, and WCDMA when connecting PS calls using applications (Internet), and then sets the connection according to the mobile communication network. It is very inconvenient for the terminal user to set the PS number because the user sets the PS number again and then sets the PS number again. Also, the convenience of using the terminal is considerably reduced because the change requires very difficult Internet or expert knowledge. There was a problem.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems, and since the terminal user automatically connects the PS call connection setting value of the mobile communication network without having to set it manually, in order to use the wireless Internet, Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wireless internet automatic switching connection function for maximizing the usability of a terminal and a control method thereof.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile communication terminal that executes the wireless Internet, a display installed on a part of the body of the mobile communication terminal to display an automatic mobile communication network connection procedure of the PS call to the outside, and the automatic of the PS call. After analyzing the wireless module unit for transmitting and processing the mobile communication network connection signal to the base station system unit, the memory unit for storing the setting value for the PS call connection for each type of the mobile communication network, and the network type of the area where the mobile communication terminal is located The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wireless internet automatic switching connection function including a main control unit which processes a function of automatically connecting the setting values necessary for the PS type connection for each network type stored in the memory unit.

Another feature of the present invention is a PS call connection setting value storing step of storing a setting value for PS call connection for each type of mobile communication network in advance to the mobile communication terminal, and the current PS to the mobile communication terminal after the PS call connection setting value storing step. If the request signal for the PS call connection is currently set in the mobile communication terminal as a result of the PS call connection confirmation step of checking whether the signal for requesting call connection is established and the PS call connection setting value storing step, A network type analysis step of sequentially analyzing the network type of the located area, and after the network type analysis step, transmits the set value (APN) required for the PS call connection of the currently analyzed mobile communication network to the base station of the network to connect the PS call. It provides a control method of a mobile communication terminal equipped with a wireless Internet automatic switching connection function consisting of a PS call automatic connection step.
