Searching system using mobile telephone and the method for the same}

The present invention relates to a method of making a call or using a wireless Internet access by using a result after searching for a phone number or a phrase in a mobile communication terminal.

In particular, the present invention by using a specific button to run a search application and enter a search word after confirming the results of the integrated search of the information inside the terminal and the information on the Internet, and make a telephone call or a wireless Internet connection to the mutual name, brand name, If you know the content name, service name, etc., but do not know the details such as phone number, address, location, price, etc., it is easy to make a phone call or connect to the wireless Internet.

Mobile communication terminals are widely used as devices for sending and receiving voice conversations or text messages between individuals, and their use as devices for transmitting and receiving information is increasing.

When searching using a mobile communication terminal, it can be divided into two purposes: to make a phone call and to obtain unknown information.

When searching for a phone call, three search methods are used: searching an internal phone book, searching an inbox, and connecting to a phone number search service after accessing the mobile portal.

The internal phone book is searched by a part of the phone number, by a part of the name, or by a part of the consonant of the name.

Searching the Inbox is a method of checking the received text list and contents without a separate search function.

Connecting to the phone number search service after accessing the mobile portal is the most complicated and time-consuming method. For example, for SKT's terminal, press the Nate button, access the mobile portal, select the 6th position menu, If you select the relevant menu and select No. 1 ** 114 menu, a window for entering the trade name appears and you can search. The disadvantage of having to go through the initial page of the wireless Internet without the need to enter the search term by moving from the wireless Internet service to the telephone number guide service and the inconvenience of having to find and select a search service from many menus of the initial page to move to the telephone number search service. There is a drawback to this.

As a method of finding unknown information using a mobile communication terminal, a method of using a search service of a mobile portal is widely used. For example, in case of SKT's terminal, if you press Nate button, which is a mobile portal connection, you can enter a search word. When you enter a search word, the list of contents or services inside the mobile portal and the search result searched from the wired search site are given. Selecting an item from will display search details from within the mobile portal or from a wired search site. This method, however, is optimized for news keywords or wired portal knowledge / blog searches, so that appropriate results cannot be obtained depending on the type of information desired. For example, if you enter Seocho-gu jajangmyeon, knowledge / blog search is executed without searching the information in the mutual database, so the site or phone number list of Seocho-gu jajangmyeon does not appear.

The “Seed” service is a service that downloads a VM application to a mobile communication terminal, runs a corresponding application, and enters a search word to receive a search result for a phone number associated with the search word from a server and make a phone call. This service finds only the phone number stored in the server, and has the disadvantage of not finding the phone number stored in the terminal, the disadvantage of not being able to connect to the site having the desired information, and the disadvantage of not providing the recommended search word.

In the case of “Word Dial” service, in addition to providing the same function as Eusid, it provides the function to directly connect the phone call related to the search word, but it connects only one phone number among various phone numbers related to the search word. There is a disadvantage in that the connection with the other phone number occurs. In other words, if you enter a character string called pizza and press the connect button, the word dial will be connected to one particular pizza shop. If you don't like it, you'll be connected to your favorite pizza place and another phone number.

The search methods in the above-described mobile communication terminals not only obtain information from different sources but also use different methods, so users often have to go through trial and error until they get the desired information. This happens. In order to make up for the shortcomings of existing search methods, methods for searching phone numbers or information should be handled within an integrated screen.

An object of the present invention is to realize an easy and convenient search by enabling search methods using a mobile communication terminal through a single screen.
