FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mobile terminal of FIG. 1;

As shown in the figure, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention controls each component of the mobile terminal 100 to input the difference word, And blocking the corresponding message or mail when the screening and blocking expression for the text included in the received message or the mail is included.

The key word includes important key words that are essentially included according to the main purpose of the spam mail to block such as loan, loan or SEX.

The user or the terminal developer grasps such a difference word and directly inputs it into the mobile terminal 100 or inputs it into the program.

Meanwhile, the users can also identify the car word through the spam mail to be blocked and register the car word according to an embodiment of the present invention.

To this end, the mobile terminal 100 may be provided with a menu for inputting a second word.

5 is an example of a menu screen for inputting a difference word.

Referring to FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 may provide a sub-menu for inputting a sub-word for blocking spam, for example, in a configuration menu through the display module 151, .

The control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the user has selected a menu for inputting a car word (S210).

If the difference word is input through the user input unit 130 using the menu for inputting the difference word, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 receives the input difference word (S220).

Meanwhile, the present word receiving step of the present invention can receive various conditions for blocking spam mails as well as a word itself constituted by letters.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for receiving a variety of conditions in addition to the difference word in the difference word receiving step. FIG. 6 is an example of a menu screen for receiving various conditions in addition to the difference word.

Referring to FIG. 6, the menu for inputting the second word displayed on the display module 151 of the mobile terminal 100 may be provided with submenus for inputting various conditions for blocking a spam message or a mail, have.

The submenu provided in this embodiment is merely an example, and various conditions for blocking a spam message, such as whether it is case-sensitive or not, may be added.

 Referring to FIG. 3, when a user touches a submenu for inputting a second word on the menu screen as shown in FIG. 6, a keypad for inputting a second word as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed.

5, the user inputs the difference word (S221). When the input of the difference word is completed, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 displays the difference word on the display module 151 And returns to the menu screen as shown in Fig. 6 which is the upper menu.

Subsequently, the user can select a submenu such as a submenu or a special condition for entering a caller ID restriction condition. In FIG. 3, the originating number restriction condition input and the special condition input are shown in order, but the order is not limited to any one including the sub-word input submenu and can be mutually changed.

The control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the caller ID limitation menu is selected (S223). When the call ID limit menu is selected, the control unit 180 receives the user selected caller ID restriction condition through the menu (S225).

 The calling number restriction condition is set in advance, for example, to a range in which a message or a calling number to which a mail is sent is set as a target for performing a word search according to the present embodiment.

That is, in the calling number limitation condition, the difference word search is performed for all the calling numbers, or the difference word is searched for all the numbers stored in the telephone book or not stored in the telephone book, Includes constraints.

Also, the user can select a specific telephone number and set the corresponding number to be unconditionally blocked without searching for the next word.

Also, the mobile terminal 100 may provide a menu for setting a special condition for a word search. When a sub menu for inputting a special condition is selected in step S227, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 activates a sub menu for inputting a special condition and displays it on the display module 151, (S229).

The special condition can be any other condition except for the input of the second word and the condition for the calling number. For example, when the car word is in English, the conditions for the range including the car word can be set differently, such as whether the car word is included or not, whether the car word is included or not,

In this case, the minimum or maximum value of the difference word is set to the range of the blocking expression to be finally set, and the minimum inclusion of the leaf word is set to narrow the range of the blocking expression including the leaf word, , And the range of the blocking expression is set to be wide so that the spam message or the mail is blocked as much as possible even if it is occasionally blocked even if it is not the spam message or the mail.

By using the minimum or maximum inclusion terms of the car words in combination with the calling number limitation input conditions described above, for example, when the car words maximum inclusion condition is blocked only for numbers other than the phone number, If it is determined that a word is included, the number contained in the telephone directory is not blocked at least, so that the probability of blocking an important message or mail may be reduced.

Of course, if the frequency is low, but you want to avoid being blocked even if it is not a spam message or a message, the user will be able to set a minimum word inclusion condition.

 When the mobile word receiving step is completed, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 converts the difference word into a blocking expression according to a predetermined regular expression (S230), and stores the word in the memory 160 (S240).

The conversion of the blocking expression may be performed at the time of inputting the next word or may be performed at the time of receiving the message or the mail using the inputted difference word and predetermined regular expression.

Regular expressions use, for example, special characters to represent various variants of characters, including the next word.

For example, "." As a special character can be placed between the words of the car, such as "bigger", so that it can be used for any type of character, including line breaks, Various modified car words can be displayed. That is, "." Can represent both characters that occupy one position between the "major" and "out" characters, and can also represent a newline character.

Also, "*" means "loan", "loan", "loan", "loan", "loan", and " * "Can represent any case where zero or more characters are immediately preceded.

Also, "?", When expressed in the form of a "major export", is the name of the "loan", "payout", "payout", "payout", "payout" It can represent all cases in which 0 or 1 characters are represented.

Also, "[]" can represent either "S" or "s", ie, any character within it, if it is represented as "[Ss]".

The blocking expression may be set to a plurality of same word words.

For example, in the condition of the minimum inclusion of the car word, the expression may be set in advance for the "loan" car word to be "turn off", and in the case of the car word maximum inclusion, The block expression can be prefixed with "v. * Ex".

In this case, under the condition of the minimum word inclusion, 0 or 1 arbitrary characters between "big" and "ex" will be displayed and the characters expressed will be blocked. Quot ;, all characters with zero or more random characters will be blocked.

For example, if you want to block only the outgoing phone numbers except for the phone number but not the case of the "SEX" key word, and select the condition that contains the minimum number of words, set the block expression to "[Ss]? [Ee]? [ Xx]? ", Messages or messages containing phrases such as" Sex "," sEx "" Sex "" SeE "" sEe "" sEex "" Sseex "will be blocked.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of blocking a spam mail or a message according to the blocking expression according to the present invention when the mobile terminal 100 shown in FIG. 1 receives a message or a mail.

When a message or a mail is received at the mobile terminal 100 at step S310, the controller 180 searches the memory 160 to determine whether a blocking expression exists, that is, conditions for blocking the spam message are set in advance S320).

If there is a blocking expression, the control unit 180 interprets the blocking expression by loading the blocking expression to grasp the condition of the character to be searched for in the expression (S330).

That is, the control unit 180 selects some or all of the blocking expressions according to the condition of the calling number to be searched and the blocking range condition if there are a plurality of blocking expressions, and substitutes all the types of characters represented by the blocking expressions With the text contained in the message.

In this manner, the control unit 180 checks whether the blocking expression is included in the received message or mail (S340). If the blocking expression is included, the control unit 180 stores the message or the mail in the spam message box according to a preset method (S360).

However, if the received message or mail does not include the blocking expression, the message is notified to the user through the output unit 150 in at least one manner such as display, sound, and vibration (S350).

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
