The present invention relates to an outgoing mode in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly to a method for adding an additional specific number to an outgoing number when a call is originated from the mobile communication terminal. For example, the specific number includes area code, area service, international call, infomobile, roaming service, call gift certificate and the like.

Recently, the use of mobile communication terminals is rapidly spreading due to the convenience of portability. Therefore, service providers (terminal manufacturers) are competitively developing terminals having more convenient functions to secure a large number of users.

E.g. The mobile communication terminal includes a phone book, a game, a short message, the Internet, an e-mail, a morning call, an MP3 (MPEG Layer 3), a digital camera. It provides various additional functions.

In particular, in addition to the additional functions, various additional services such as information display of a caller on the mobile communication terminal are becoming common. The caller information display service is a service for displaying the caller's information in advance so that the receiver can know the caller's information before the call is received by using the caller information included in the received call. As the caller information display service is spread, the mobile communication terminal stores a list of transmitted and received telephone numbers, thereby enabling a return call to attempt a call using the list of transmitted and received telephone numbers.

Recently, Info-Mobile services, which can use voice, data, and wired / wireless telephones, are spreading in specific areas such as offices, hotels, and corporations.

In order to use a specific local service system such as InfoMobile or a specific mobile communication service (e.g. international call or area code), enter a special character or numeric key (e.g. # 9, country code, area code) first. After that, the location base service may be utilized by attempting to call by entering the calling number. Therefore, since a specific mobile communication service such as the infomobile or the international call needs to input a specific letter or number together with the calling number, it is inconvenient to make a call directly using the transmission / reception list or the phone book. That is, after inputting the specific letter or number, the calling party number must be input, so there is inconvenience of having to memorize the telephone number stored in the transmission / reception list or the phone book and inputting the calling party number after inputting the specific letter or number. . For example, when using a service such as a zone plan, which is a type of location-based service, it is inconvenient to input a specific character (eg, # 9) to indicate the zone plan.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for adding a specific number to a calling number in a mobile communication terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for adding a specific number when attempting a call using a return call in a mobile communication terminal.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for adding a specific number when a mobile communication terminal attempts to make a call using a transmission / reception list or a phone book.

According to a first aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a method for adding a code to the calling number in the mobile communication terminal, to determine whether the code to add from among the preset code is selected in the state that the calling number is displayed; And if the code is selected, attempting to make a call by adding the code to the displayed outgoing telephone number.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for adding a code to a calling number in a mobile communication terminal includes: checking whether a code to be added is input while the calling number is displayed; Adding the code to the calling number;

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a method for adding a code to a calling number in a mobile communication terminal comprises the steps of checking whether a predetermined code is selected among preset codes, and if the code is selected, selected or selected by a user. And confirming the caller number being input, and attempting a call using the code and the caller ID.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for adding a code to a calling number in a mobile communication terminal includes: a keypad for selecting or inputting the calling number and a code to be added by checking a user's key operation; And a control unit for controlling to perform a call origination by adding the code to the calling number selected or input by the caller.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, a description will be given of a technique for adding a specific letter or number to the calling number in the mobile communication terminal of the present invention. In other words, a specific letter or number is added to add a function such as an area code, a local service, an international call, an info-mobile, a roaming service, a call voucher, etc. to a phone number to be sent from the mobile communication terminal. Describe the technique to do. In the following description, the specific letters and numbers for adding to the calling number are called codes.

The mobile communication terminal to be described below includes both a cellular phone, a personal communication system (PCS), a personal data assistant (PDA), and an international mobile communication-2000 (IMT2000) terminal. The following description will be given with the general configuration of the above examples.

Referring to FIG. 1, a control unit (MPU: Micro-Processer Unit) 100 first controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. For example, when processing and controlling voice calls and data communications, and performing a call origination in accordance with the present invention in addition to the usual functions, process a function for adding additional specific codes to the inputted calling number. do. Therefore, in the following description, description about the process and control of the normal control part 100 is abbreviate | omitted. Here, the calling number may be selected from a phone book or a transmission / reception list or may be directly input. In addition, the added code may be selected from a predetermined codebook or directly input.

The ROM 102 may store microcodes and various reference data of a program for processing and controlling the controller 100. In particular, according to the present invention, a program for adding a specific code to an outgoing telephone number and a program for generating a codebook which is the code list. Random Access Memory (RAM) 104 is a working memory of the controller 100 and stores temporary data generated during execution of various programs. The flash ROM 106 stores various updatable data for storage such as a phone book, an outgoing message and a received message. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the codebook is stored for addition to the calling number.

The keypad 108 provides key input data corresponding to a key pressed by the user to the controller 100. The display unit 110 displays status information generated during the operation of the mobile communication terminal, a limited number of characters, a large amount of moving images and still images, and the like. The display unit 110 may use a color liquid crystal display (LCD).

The codec (Coder-Decoder) 112 connected to the control unit 100 and the speaker 116 and the microphone 114 connected to the codec 112 are voice input / output blocks used for phone calls and voice recording. .

The RF unit 120 lowers the frequency of the radio frequency signal received through the antenna 118 to the baseband processor 122 and provides the baseband signal from the baseband processor 122 with the frequency. Up to transmit through the antenna 118. The baseband processor 122 processes a baseband signal transmitted and received between the RF unit 120 and the controller 100.

In the following description, when a call is originated, a code added to a call number may be directly input by selecting a corresponding code from a pre-stored codebook or by a user's key manipulation. In this case, the codebook may be generated and managed as shown in FIG. 2.

2 illustrates a procedure for adding a code according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, in step 201, the controller 100 determines whether a code addition mode is selected by a user's key operation. If the code addition mode is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 227 to perform a corresponding mode (eg, a standby mode).

If the code addition mode is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 203, as shown in FIG. 4A, as shown in FIG. 4A, such as a code addition menu (eg, “1. Save code addition”, “2. Edit code”, “ 3, "Delete Code", "4. Storage List") are displayed on the display unit 110.

In operation 205, the controller 100 determines whether the code addition storage menu is selected by the user's key manipulation. For example, in FIG. 4A, it is checked whether "1. Add code storage" is selected by the user's key operation.

If the code addition storage menu is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 207 and displays a code input window on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG. 4B.

When the code input window is displayed, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 209 to store the code input by the user's key manipulation in the code input window in a specific memory address, and then the control unit 100 determines the present algorithm. To exit.

If the code addition storage menu is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 211 and checks whether the code editing menu is selected by the user's key manipulation. For example, in FIG. 4A, it is checked whether "2. Code editing" is selected by the user's key operation.

If the code editing menu is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 213 and displays a code list on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG. 4C. In operation 215, the controller 100 determines whether a code to be edited is selected from the displayed code list.

When the code to be edited is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 217 and edits and stores the selected code as shown in FIG. 4D, and then the control unit 100 ends the present algorithm.

If the code editing menu is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 219 and determines whether the code deleting menu is selected by the user's key manipulation. For example, in FIG. 4A, it is checked whether “3. Delete Code” is selected by the user's key operation.

If the code deletion menu is not selected, the controller 100 returns to step 205.

On the other hand, when the code deletion menu is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 221 and displays the code list stored in the memory as shown in FIG. 4C. In operation 223, the controller 100 determines whether a code to be deleted is selected from the displayed code list by the user's key manipulation as shown in FIG. 4E.

If the code to be deleted is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 225 and deletes the selected code and ends the present algorithm.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for adding a specific code to a calling number according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, an example of adding a code by selecting a calling number from a transmitting / receiving telephone number list or a phone book will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, in step 301, the controller 100 determines whether a transmission mode is selected by a user's key operation. If the calling mode is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 325 to perform a corresponding mode (eg, a standby mode).

If the origination mode is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 303 and displays a transmission / reception call list. For example, when performing the return call, when a call key is input by a user's key manipulation as shown in FIG. 5A, the recent call record is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B.

In step 305, the controller 100 determines whether an outgoing telephone number to attempt a call is selected by a user's key manipulation.

After the outgoing call number is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 307 to determine whether to add the code to the outgoing call number. That is, check whether the code addition menu is selected by the user's key operation. If the code addition menu is not selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 323 and attempts to make a call to the calling telephone number, and then the control unit 100 ends the present algorithm.

If the code addition menu is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 309 and determines whether to select the code to be added from a preset codebook. For example, when the code addition menu is selected, as shown in FIG. 6A, the code addition menu is displayed, and it is then checked whether the codebook use menu is selected by the user's key operation.

If the codebook is used, that is, if the codebook use menu is selected in FIG. 6A, the controller 100 proceeds to step 311 and displays the code list stored in the memory as shown in FIG. 6B.

In step 313, when the code to be added is selected from the displayed code list, the controller 100 adds the selected code to the selected outgoing telephone number in step 321.

In the case where the codebook is not used, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 315 and checks whether the code is directly input. That is, it is checked whether the direct input menu is selected in FIG. 6A. If the direct input menu is not selected, the process returns to step 307 to confirm whether to add a code to the outgoing telephone number.

If the direct input menu is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 317 and displays a code input window on the display 110 as shown in FIG. 6C. In operation 319, the controller 100 determines whether a code to be added to the code input window is input by the user's key manipulation.

If the code to be added is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 321 to add the input code to the selected outgoing telephone number.

After that, the controller 100 proceeds to step 323 and attempts to make a call to the outgoing telephone number to which the code is added, and then the controller 100 ends the present algorithm.

7 illustrates a procedure for adding a specific code to a calling number according to another embodiment of the present invention. The following description will be given by taking an example of performing a call by directly inputting a telephone number by a user's key operation.

Referring to FIG. 7, first, in step 701, the controller 100 determines whether a transmission mode is selected by a user's key operation. If the origination mode is not selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 723 to perform a corresponding mode (eg, a standby mode).

If the calling mode is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 703 and checks whether the calling phone number is input by the user's key operation.

After the phone number is input, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 705 to determine whether to add the code to the outgoing phone number. That is, check whether the code addition menu is selected by the user's key operation. If the code addition menu is not selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 721 and attempts to make a call connection to the input telephone number, and then the control unit 100 ends the present algorithm.

When the code addition menu is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 707 to determine whether to select the code to add from a preset codebook. For example, when the code addition menu is selected, as shown in FIG. 6A, the code addition menu is displayed, and it is then checked whether the codebook use menu is selected by the user's key operation.

If the codebook is used, that is, if a codebook use menu is selected in FIG. 6A, the controller 100 proceeds to step 709 and displays a code list stored in the memory as shown in FIG. 6B.

In step 711, if a code to be added is selected from the displayed code list, the controller 100 adds the selected code to the inputted outgoing telephone number in step 719. .

In the case where the codebook is not used, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 713 to check whether the code is directly input. That is, it is checked whether the direct input menu is selected in FIG. 6A. If the direct input menu is not selected, the method returns to step 705 to determine whether to add a code.

If the direct input menu is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 715 and displays a code input window on the display unit 110 as shown in FIG. 6C. In operation 717, the controller 100 determines whether a code to be added to the code input window is input by a user's key manipulation.

When the code to be added is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 719 to add the input code to the input outgoing telephone number.

After that, the controller 100 proceeds to step 721 and attempts to connect the call to the calling telephone number to which the code is added, and then the controller 100 ends the present algorithm.

The above-described embodiment has been described with an example of adding a code while the calling telephone number is entered or selected. In another embodiment, the code is pre-selected, and then the same can be applied to the case of inputting or selecting the outgoing telephone number.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described. However, various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, by adding a specific code to the outgoing phone number in the mobile communication terminal, it is specified in the outgoing number such as area code, local service, international call, Info-Mobile, roaming service, call gift certificate, etc. If a code is added, there is an advantage that it is easy to use a service to add a specific code to the outgoing phone number without having to memorize the outgoing phone number.
