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

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a message management system through an automatic classification function of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a message management system using an automatic classification function of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention includes a classification standard setting input unit 10, a message receiving unit 20, a classification standard setting unit 30, and a display. The information generating unit 40, the classification tag generating unit 50, the message storage unit 60, the classification criteria search unit 70, and the application linkage unit 80.

The classification criterion setting input unit 10 performs an input operation for setting a classification criterion desired by a corresponding user according to a key input through a user's key input unit (not shown), and inputs a user's key to find a set classification criterion. Performs an input operation according to

The message receiving unit 20 is for receiving a text message extracted from the device circuit for transmitting and receiving wireless communication of the mobile communication terminal.

The classification criteria setting unit 30 sets the text message received through the message receiving unit 20 to be classified according to the classification criteria input by the classification criteria setting input unit 10, and is generated according to the classification criteria. It manages the information of the classification tag inserted in the module, and performs the function of changing or deleting the message.

Here, the classification criteria that can be set for each received message in the classification criteria setting unit 30, the phrase of at least two characters (Korean standard) included in the body of the message, the originating telephone number of the message, Groups of address books randomly classified by the mobile communication terminal, and arbitrary phrases composed of at least two letters (Korean standard) created by the user with key button input are classified as types of classification, and the type of classification criteria is selected on the screen of the display unit. This is done by selecting a menu that appears.

The display information generating unit 40 is a menu operation screen for the classification standard setting state of the classification standard setting unit 30 by the input of the classification standard setting input unit 10, and the classification standard setting input unit 10. The display information for displaying the search result screen for the message search based on the specific classification criteria by the user input is displayed on the display unit.

The classification tag generating unit 50 is for generating a classification tag according to the classification criteria set by the classification standard setting unit 30. The classification tag is inserted into the message without modifying the original text of the received message. You can change the archive format, and the tag's data format is appended with a separator field for archiving.

Meanwhile, the classification tag generated by the classification tag generator 50 is automatically inserted into the message when the classification criterion is set by the classification criterion setting unit 30, but semi-automatic ( That is, it may be inserted in a manner to be inserted at a specific time) or manually (that is, manually inserted by a direct key input of the user), the automatic, semi-automatic, manual insertion function of the classification tag is the classification The tag generation unit 50 manages it.

In addition, the classification tag is to keep the message permanently unless there is a separate deletion, change input by the user, but in the case of setting the input period when the classification criteria input by the classification criteria setting input unit 10 is set, In response to the input information of the predetermined maintenance period, the message inserted with the corresponding classification tag may be automatically deleted when the predetermined period elapses.

In addition, when the classification tag generator 50 sets and inputs a deletion method by updating when the classification criterion is input by the classification criterion setting input unit 10, a message of the same characteristic that is received periodically or irregularly ( For example, when a subsequent message is received, for example, a message including monthly credit card usage history, the previous archived message is automatically deleted, and the same classification tag is inserted and stored thereafter. Knowing that the text message is a message having the same characteristic may be known by analyzing additional tag information provided to the text message from the telecommunication service provider.

In addition, the classification tag may include information content to enable the storage message to work in conjunction with the peripheral application mounted on the mobile communication terminal.

Accordingly, the data field of the classification tag includes a division field of an automatic, semi-automatic or manual insertion method, a division field indicating a maintenance period, a field for distinguishing a deletion method by an update, and an application division field for application interworking. .

On the other hand, the classification criteria setting unit 30 is responsible for deleting the message by reading the data of the deletion period, the deletion method recorded in the data field of the classification tag.

The message storage unit 60 stores and manages text message data, which is provided from the classification tag generation unit 50 and in which a classification tag is inserted, and changes or deletes the message by the classification reference setting unit 30. Change or delete the message accordingly.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the message storage unit 60 includes a classification tag 92 inserted into the original message 90 and stored in the message storage unit 60. In the unclassified state, the messages are stored in the order in which they are received, since the desired message can be easily extracted by the classification criteria search through the classification tag.

Each message stored in the message storage unit 60 is not inserted only one classification tag according to a single classification criteria for each message, but a plurality of classification tags having different classification criteria for one message are inserted. It is possible.

The classification criterion searching unit 70 is based on a classification criterion required among the messages stored in the message storage unit 60 according to a message inquiry command of a specific classification criterion by a user input of the classification criterion setting input unit 10. Search for messages by classification tag and extract messages with corresponding classification tags.

In addition, when the classification criteria search unit 70 sets a new classification criterion by the classification criteria setting unit 30 to generate a classification tag, the classification criteria search unit 70 searches for the contents of the messages stored in the message storage unit 60 to generate a new classification. It is possible to insert a classification tag by extracting a message including the name of a standard or a telephone number.

The application interworking unit 80 may interwork with an application (that is, a credit card VM module, a smart card module, an internet web browser, etc.) mounted in the corresponding mobile communication terminal among the messages stored in the message storage unit 60. A message with a classification tag containing a data field present is provided to the corresponding application.

Next, an operation of the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, the drawings of FIGS. 4A to 4C, and FIGS. 5A and 5B.

First, on the menu screen for classifying and setting a message (step S10), the classification standard setting unit 30 is for setting the classification criteria in the content of the received message by the user's input through the classification standard setting input unit 10. It is judged whether a selection is made (step S11).

As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the selection criteria for setting the classification criteria are made within the contents of the received message by the user input of the classification standard setting input unit 10, the classification criteria setting unit 30 is configured to perform the selection in the corresponding received message. In the case where the original received message is displayed on the screen as illustrated in FIG. 4A, for example, the classification name is selected by the user's key operation according to the operation of the display information generator 40 in FIG. 4B. The moving bar 100 on the screen is displayed on the screen so that the phrase to be set as the classification criterion can be selected while moving the corresponding moving bar 100 between characters, and when the classification name is selected, the classification name selected as shown in FIG. 4C. To display separately.

However, if it is determined that the selection criteria are not made in the received message content and the user wants to input the classification criteria directly, the user may input an arbitrary classification name desired by the user through the classification standard setting input unit 10. (Step S13).

After performing step S12 or step S13, the classification tag generating unit 50 generates a classification tag corresponding to the classification name set in the classification criterion setting unit 30 (step S14).

Here, in the state where the classification name is selected, it is possible to separately set the retention period of the corresponding message, the deletion method by the update, whether or not the application is interlocked, and to record the setting items in the data field of the classification tag.

Meanwhile, when the classification tag of the new classification criteria is generated, the classification criteria search unit 70 performs a process of searching for the contents of the messages stored in the message storage unit 60 or the newly received message (step S15). In step S16, it is determined whether there is a message in the searched message contents that includes the same phrase as the name of the classification criteria.

As a result of the determination, when it is determined that there is a message including the content of the same phrase as the name of the new classification criterion, the classification criteria search unit 70 displays a screen on the display that the message including the name of the classification criterion exists. It is possible to select whether or not to determine the classification criteria, and it is determined whether a new classification criteria is determined by the user input of the classification criteria setting input unit 10 (step S17).

As a result of the determination, when it is determined that a user input for determining a new classification criterion has been made, the classification criterion searching unit 70 inserts a new classification tag into the message having the same classification name, respectively, to the message storage unit 60. It is stored (step S18).

Next, when a message of the desired classification criteria is to be found among the messages classified and stored according to each classification criteria, as shown in FIG. 5A, the search function is performed by the classification name in the view menu of the received message. The desired classification name is selected from a plurality of classification names displayed on the screen list while the cursor 110 is moved by the user's key input operation through the reference setting input unit 10.

When the classification criterion setting unit 30 finally selects a desired classification name by a user manipulation of the classification criterion setting input unit 10, as shown in FIG. 5B, the classification criterion setting unit 30 performs a search operation of the classification criterion searching unit 70. Accordingly, only messages in which the classification tag of the selected classification name is inserted among the messages stored in the message storage unit 60 are extracted to display the plurality of messages through the screen list.

When a specific message is selected from among a plurality of messages displayed on the screen of the display unit, the classification criteria setting unit 30 causes the entire original text of the message to be displayed on the screen.

While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it will be apparent that the present invention may be embodied in various modifications by those skilled in the art. Such modified embodiments should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention, but should fall within the claims appended to the present invention.
