The present invention relates to an automatic conversion method of an address format when using a mobile communication terminal and an integrated composer.

As the demand for mobile communication terminals increases rapidly, mobile communication terminals providing various and convenient functions have been provided.

As such, one of various and convenient functions provided by the mobile communication terminal is a message service represented by a multimedia message service (MMS) and a text message service (SMS).

In recent years, such a message service is very convenient by providing an integrated composer that can simultaneously write a multimedia message and a text message.

When composing a text message or a multimedia message using the integrated composer, each message has a specific address format to correspond to each format.

That is, the text message has an address type of To type, and in the case of a multimedia message, it has an address type of To type, CC (carbon copy) type, and blind carbon copy (BCC) type.

Therefore, conventionally, while creating a text message, a multimedia file was inserted to change the corresponding message into a multimedia message, and the address format thereof was also changed.

However, if the multimedia file is deleted again, the corresponding message is changed to a text message, but the previously entered CC and Bcc address formats are the multimedia message addresses, and thus the mobile communication terminal transmits them as multimedia messages.

Accordingly, although the message is a text message, it is inconvenient to pay a relatively expensive fee than the text message by being transmitted as a multimedia message.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically converting an address format when using a mobile communication terminal and an integrated composer to change an address format corresponding to a multimedia message and a text message.

In addition, the control unit 140 displays the address stored in the memory unit 120 in the address input window when the format of the message input by the input unit 110 is changed again to the previous message format. You can control it to display.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of automatically converting an address format when using an integrated composer according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a view showing that an address format is changed when a text message is changed to a multimedia message according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is an exemplary view shown.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the method of automatically converting an address format when using an integrated composer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a message input window and a plurality of recipient address input windows having one or more specific address formats according to the format of the message. Display step (S210 ~ S220) is displayed, including the integrated composer, the input step (S230 ~ S250) and input a message in the message input window displayed in the display step, input the recipient address in the plurality of recipient address input window If the format of the message input to the message input window in the step is changed according to the changing step (S260 ~ S280) of the address format of the plurality of recipient address input window accordingly.

First, when the user selects a menu for sending a message using the input unit 110, the controller 140 displays the integrated composer 300 on the display unit 130 as shown in FIG. 3A (S210).

Here, the integrated composer 300 is a text message, such as when the multimedia data is inserted while creating text messages by entering text data, which is changed from a text message to a multimedia message, and when the multimedia message is deleted again, the text message is changed to a text message. The composer is compatible with the multimedia message.

In this case, when the control unit 140 displays the message input window 310 (S220), the user inputs text into the message input window 310 using the input unit 110 to create a text message (S230).

After that, when the user completes the preparation of the text message using the input unit 110, the control unit 140 may recognize that the corresponding message is the text message as shown in FIG. Is indicated by an icon 320. Thereafter, a plurality of address input windows 330 for inputting the recipient phone number are displayed on the display unit 130 (S240), and the user uses the input unit 110 to receive the corresponding text message. Enter (S250).

Herein, the controller 140 controls the address input window 330 to have a specific address format according to the format of a message written by the user using the input unit 110. That is, since the message written by the user is a text message, the address input window 330 having a specific address format corresponding to the text message is displayed on the display unit 130.

At this time, the specific address format corresponding to the text message is "To type" as shown in FIG. 3 (b), since the address format corresponding to the text message has only "To type" in the specification.

In this state, the controller 140 checks whether the user moves to the message input window 310 by using the input unit 110 (S260), and when the user wants to move to the message input window 310, the controller ( 140 stores the receiver's telephone number stored in the address input window 330 in the memory unit 120 and displays a message input window 310 in which a text message is created on the display unit 130.

Here, the control unit 140 checks whether the message format is changed (S270). If the user inserts the image file 340 stored in the memory unit 120 in the text message already prepared as shown in FIG. It is considered that the message format has been changed from text message to multimedia message.

Accordingly, the controller 140 changes the address format of the receiver address input window 330 according to the changed multimedia message as shown in FIG.

That is, the address format of the address input window 330 according to the text message is defined to have only "To type", but the address format according to the multimedia message is "To type", "CC (carbon copy) type" and "BCC ( blind carbon copy) type ".

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the controller 140 has only the “To type” of the address format of the address input window 330 according to the text message, which is the previous message format as shown in FIG. Change it to have a "To type", a "carbon copy (CC) type", and a "blind carbon copy (BCC) type".

In this case, the controller 140 may change the name 332 of each address input window 330 together so that the user can check it.

Namely, the name 332 of the address input window 330 having the address type of "To type" is "To" in the address input window 330 of the text message, and "" is displayed in the address input window 330 of the multimedia message. Names 332 of the address input window 330 having address formats of "To type", "carbon copy type", and "blind carbon copy type" are designated as "To", "CC" and "BCC". Change to

In this case, the controller 140 displays the address input window 330 having the changed address format of the multimedia message so as to correspond to the order of the telephone numbers input to the address input window 330 of the text message.

4 is an exemplary view illustrating conversion of an address format of a telephone number added or changed when converting several messages according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4A, when the user writes a multimedia message, the controller 140 displays an address input window 330 on the display 130. In this case, the controller 140 may designate the name 332 of the address input window 330 as “To”, according to the address format of “To type”, “CC type” and “BCC type” included in the address input window 330. "CC" and "BCC" are indicated. In addition, the controller 140 temporarily or permanently stores the phone numbers input in the address input window 330 in the memory unit 120.

When the user removes the image file inserted in the multimedia message in such a state, the controller 140 converts the message into a text message as shown in FIG. 4 (b) and accordingly, the phone stored in the memory unit 120. The numbers are displayed on the address input window 330.

At this time, the controller 140 changes all of the address input windows 330 to "To type", and changes all names 332 of the address input window 330 to "To" and displays them on the display 130.

At this time, the user changes the third number entered in the address input window 330 by using the input unit 110 from "010-1234-2004" to "019-6000-8000 (a)", and the last address input window. Add "019-7000-9999 (b)" to 330.

Thereafter, when the user reinserts an image file or the like into the text message, the controller 140 converts the message into a multimedia message as shown in FIG.

At this time, the controller 140 changes the telephone number "019-6000-8000 (a)" and the added "019-7000-9999 (b)" in FIG. 4 (b) to "To type" address input window. 330 and change "010-1234-3004 (c)" entered in the last address input window 330 among the phone numbers not changed or added in (b) of FIG. 4 to "BCC type". The name 332 of the address input window 330 is changed to "BCC" and displayed.
