And an MSC 72 for processing a call signal input via the base station 71.                         

Here, a part of the body of the terminal 70 is provided with an LCD panel 73 for displaying a function operated in the terminal 70 to the outside or a character input function set by the user while waiting.

On the other hand, referring to the operation of the conventional mobile communication system as described above, when the user of the terminal 70, for example, wants to send an SMS message, the user of the terminal 70 is the keypad 74 and the keypad of the terminal 70 Using the multi-key (75) located on the upper side of the 74 to select the menu and then enter the required character, the cursor located on the LCD panel 73 to correct the input character If you press the multi-key (75) to move, the cursor moves one space at a time to edit.

When the character input is completed through the above process, the user of the terminal 70 selects a destination telephone number to be transmitted from a list of phone books stored therein and presses the transmit button. Then, the terminal 70 transmits the text data input by the user in the SMS message to the base station 71. Accordingly, the SMS message signal of the terminal 70 is input to and stored in the SMS message center 76 via the base station 71 and the MSC 72. The SMS message center 76 then checks the destination telephone number of the input SMS message and transmits it to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 transmits the SMS message signal transmitted from the SMS message center 76 to the counterpart mobile phone 77. The counterpart terminal 77 analyzes the received SMS message signal and displays the corresponding signal on the display.

However, in the conventional mobile communication terminal as described above, the cursor is set to move only one space on the LCD screen each time a multi-key is pressed. As the user has to operate the multikey repeatedly until the cursor moves to, there was a considerable difficulty in modifying the character accordingly. Also, users who are not familiar with the character input do not know immediately even if they enter the wrong character. There was a problem that causes.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the user is notified so that the user can correct the text input error that occurs during the text input, so that the character input error alarm function that can maximize the ease of use of the terminal accordingly An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal and a control method thereof.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The apparatus of the present invention is installed on a part of the body of the mobile communication terminal 1, as shown in Fig. 2 to display various information signals and text input functions therein, for example, an LCD for displaying text input input during SMS message creation or memo function execution. When inputting the characters displayed on the panel unit 2 and the LCD panel unit 2, the controller detects whether an error occurs in the corresponding character input, outputs an input error control signal, stores the repeated character input error in a database, and moves it. The MSM unit 3 controls the overall functions of the communication terminal 1, and stores the text input error information databased by the MSM unit 3 and the data processed by the mobile communication terminal 1. The memory unit 4 and the alarm generation unit 5 for generating a warning sound or vibration notifying the character input error in accordance with the input error control signal of the MSM unit 3 to emit to the outside.

One end of the MSM unit 3 is input through a key panel unit 6 for inputting a function setting signal of a user and a handset phone 7 according to a call connection control signal of the MSM unit 3. A codec unit 8 which converts an analog audio signal into a digital signal or converts a digital audio signal into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal is connected.

Here, the alarm generator 5 is composed of a warning sound generator 9 for generating a text input error as a warning sound and a vibration generator 10 for generating a text input error as a vibration.

Next, a control method applied to the apparatus of the present invention as described above will be described.

In the method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the character input function setting confirmation step (S2) is performed in the initial state (S1), and a text input function such as an SMS or LMS message writing function or a memo writing function is present in the current terminal. Check if it is set. At this time, if the character input function is not set in the terminal as a result of checking during the character input function setting checking step (S2), the process proceeds to the general call processing function execution step (S3) and executes the general call processing function.

That is, when power is applied to the terminal 1 of the present invention, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 proceeds to an initialization state, forms necessary information from the internal memory unit 4, executes an initialization process, and then waits. Proceed to state. At this time, the MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 recognizes when the user inputs a phone number through the key panel unit 6 and presses a call button, and the user inputs the phone number to the memory unit 4. In addition to the storage, the system accesses the base station system unit 11 through the access channel, and then transmits an outgoing signal to the corresponding telephone number. Then, the base station system unit 11 processes the outgoing signal transmitted from the terminal 1 and transmits an incoming signal to the counterpart terminal 12 to form a call. That is, when the user of the terminal 1 inputs the voice signal through the handset 7, the codec unit 8 of the terminal 1 signals the voice signal input through the handset 7. Processing is input to the MSM unit 3. The MSM unit 3 of the terminal 1 wirelessly processes the voice signal input through the codec unit 8 and transmits the voice signal to the counterpart terminal 12 via the base station system unit 11 so that a normal call can be made. Is achieved.

However, if the character input function is set to the terminal as a result of checking during the character input function setting checking step (S2), the terminal proceeds to the character input function execution step (S4) and the terminal executes the character input function. Displays the input menu screen and recognizes characters input by the user.

Here, after the character input function execution step (S4) to proceed to the character input error check step (S5) to check whether the input error occurs in the character currently input to the terminal according to the character error checking function. At this time, if the input error does not occur in the character input to the current terminal as a result of checking during the character input error checking step (S5), the process returns to the character input function execution step (S4) and repeats the loop.                     

In addition, the character input error checking step (S5) further includes a decision exception step of constructing a DB of the Korean initial or neutral due to language destruction and not determining it as a character input error.

However, if the input error occurs in the character currently input to the terminal as a result of checking during the character input error checking step (S5), proceeds to the character input error alarm signal emitting step (S6) to send an alarm signal notifying the character input error to the outside. Release.

At this time, the alarm signal emitted during the character input error alarm signal emission step S6 is emitted as a warning sound or a vibration signal.

      On the other hand, after the character input error alarm signal emitting step (S6) proceeds to the character error signal DB construction step (S7) to collect the characters that occur repeatedly input error to build a DB and update it in the character error checking function.

In other words, when a character input function, for example, an SMS or LMS message writing function or a memo writing function is set in the terminal 1 of the present invention, the MSM unit 3 executes the character input function and then the LCD panel unit 2 Display the character input menu screen on (). In this case, when the user of the terminal inputs the desired character through the key panel unit 6, the MSM unit 3 checks this according to the character error checking function. On the other hand, when the MSM unit 3 determines that the input characters are incorrectly input during the character input error checking process, the MSM unit 3 operates the warning sound generator 9 or the vibration generator 10 of the alarm generator 5 at present. It emits a warning sound or vibration signal to indicate that a character is entered incorrectly. At this time, the character input error checking function of the MSM unit 3 includes the Korean's initial consonant ('ㅋ': meaning of laughter) or neutral ('ㅠ' or 'TT': crying due to the language destruction phenomenon built by the DB. If only) is input, it also performs a function that does not determine this as a character input error.

Then, the user of the terminal 1 checks the warning sound or vibration signal generated from the terminal 1 and recognizes that he or she has incorrectly entered the current character and executes a corrective operation.

 On the other hand, during the process, the MSM unit 3 repeatedly collects characters that generate an input error, constructs a DB, stores them in the memory unit 4, and updates them in the character error checking function.

In addition, the MSM unit (3) during the above process is input to the DB if only the Korean initial consonant ('ㅋ': meaning of laughter) or neutral ('ㅠ' or 'TT': meaning crying) due to language destruction It also executes a function that does not judge a character input error.

As described above, the present invention checks an error in the text input when the text input is executed, thereby emitting an alarm signal notifying the text input error to the outside of the terminal when the input error occurs, so that the text input error generated during the text input can be corrected. Since the user is notified, it has the advantage of maximizing the usability of the terminal accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, by collecting the words frequently generated input errors in the terminal and the database is notified to the user when the word is input, there is also an effect of significantly improving the functionality of the terminal.
