The terminal 100 shown in Fig. 1 is configured to be operable in a communication system capable of transmitting data through a frame or packet, including a wired / wireless communication system and a satellite-based communication system .

2 is a wireless communication system in which a terminal related to the present invention is operable.

2, the wireless communication system includes a plurality of terminals 100, a plurality of base stations (BSs) 270, base station controllers (BSCs) 275, , And a mobile switching center ('MSC') 280. MSC 280 is configured to be coupled to a Public Switched Telephone Network (" PSTN ") 290, and is also configured to be coupled to BSCs 275. BSCs 275 may be coupled in pairs with BS 270 through a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL or xDSL. Thus, a plurality of BSCs 275 may be included in the system shown in FIG.

Each BS 270 may comprise at least one sector, and each sector may comprise an omnidirectional antenna or an antenna pointing to a particular direction of radial from BS 270. [ In addition, each sector may include two or more antennas of various types. Each BS 270 may be configured to support a plurality of frequency assignments and each of the plurality of frequency assignments has a specific spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as a CDMA channel. BS 270 may be referred to as a Base Station Transceiver Subsystem (BTSs). In this case, the word "base station" may be referred to as a combination of one BSC 275 and at least one BS 270. [ The base station may also indicate a "cell site ". Alternatively, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS 270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

2, a broadcasting transmitter (BT) 295 transmits a broadcasting signal to the terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 shown in FIG. 1 is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295.

In addition, FIG. 2 illustrates several Global Positioning System ('GPS') satellites 300. The satellites 300 help to locate at least one of the plurality of terminals 100. Although two satellites are shown in FIG. 2, useful location information may be obtained by two or more satellites. The location information module 115 shown in FIG. 1 cooperates with satellites 300 to obtain desired location information. Here, you can track your location using all of the technologies that can track your location, as well as your GPS tracking technology. Also, at least one of the GPS satellites 300 may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

Among the typical operations of a wireless communication system, the BS 270 receives a reverse link signal from the various terminals 100. At this time, the terminals 100 are connecting a call, transmitting or receiving a message, or performing another communication operation. Each of the reverse link signals received by the particular base station 270 is processed by the particular base station 270. The data resulting from the processing is transmitted to the connected BSC 275. The BSC 275 provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions, including the organization of soft handoffs between the base stations 270. The BSC 275 also transmits the received data to the MSC 280 and the MSC 280 provides additional transmission services for connection with the PSTN 290. [ Similarly, the PSTN 290 connects to the MSC 280, the MSC 280 connects to the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 communicate with the BSs 270 ).

The present invention provides a method by which a receiver can easily determine whether to accept or reject an incoming call by outputting information (previously communicated with the caller) that can determine the caller when receiving an incoming call for a telephone number not in the contact .

The information capable of determining the caller includes call details and call content.

The call history is displayed on the screen in the form of a call or a rejection, and the call content is output in the form of at least one of text, voice, or ringing tone.

The called rejected telephone number is stored in the memory as a call log.

3 is an example of displaying the telephone number of the caller when receiving an incoming call.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a call is received, the telephone number of the caller is displayed in the upper part of the screen. If the phone number displayed on the screen is not stored in the contact (phone book), the caller can not know who the caller is.

If the caller is a person who introduces a financial product or a terminal sale / replacement in a card company, a bank or a communication company, etc., the recipient does not end the call, . This is because the caller simply displays the phone number on the screen when the call arrives, so the recipient can not know who the caller is by phone number alone.

In order not to repeat the above-mentioned situation, the present invention stores (records) the contents of the call which can distinguish the caller when the caller and the receiver communicate with each other. The recipient can directly store the contents of the conversation by operating a specific key, and if the recipient phone number is not stored in the contact, the controller can automatically store the contents. The content of the call is linked to the telephone number and stored.

Accordingly, the present invention will greatly help a receiver to decide whether to accept or reject an incoming call if a part of the stored call content is visually displayed or audibly output on the screen when a call is made to the same telephone number again. In addition, if the content of the message or the incoming acceptance / rejection history is displayed on the screen without being limited to the output of the conversation contents, this will also be advantageous for the acceptance or rejection of the incoming call.

Fig. 4 is an example of a setting menu for selecting an output type of information related to a caller when receiving an incoming call.

As shown in FIG. 4, the display form of the information related to the caller can be selected by the user through the menu setting. That is, in the setting menu, the receiver can determine whether the call history is displayed as information related to the caller when receiving an incoming call, whether the call content is displayed as text, a ringing tone, or a message. The output form is not limited to one, but may be output in two or more forms, for example, a ringing form while displaying the contents of the call on the screen.

5A to 5D are various embodiments for outputting information related to a caller when receiving an incoming call not stored in a contact.

5A shows an example in which the contents of a call are converted into text and displayed when receiving an incoming call. The control unit 150 displays the caller's telephone number on one side (e.g., upper left corner) of the screen (incoming call screen) together with a ring tone upon receiving an incoming call. If the telephone number of the caller is not stored in the contact (telephone directory), the control unit 180 extracts a part of the most recent telephone call from the contents stored in the memory in association with the telephone number based on the menu setting of the user Converted text 50 and displays it on the display unit 151. [ At this time, the control unit 180 extracts a portion including the information (e.g., name and company name) from which the receiver can distinguish the caller among the entire call contents, and converts the extracted portion into text.

Therefore, the receiver checks the text 50 ("Hello xx card") displayed on the screen, confirms the caller, and then presses the Decline button to determine the call rejection for the incoming call.

5B shows an example of displaying the contents of a message upon reception of an incoming call.

5B, when receiving an incoming call not stored in the contact, the control unit 180 receives the contents 51 of the most recently exchanged message with the caller of the corresponding phone number according to the menu setting from a message box Search and display on the screen. When it is necessary to talk with the sender from the contents of the message, the receiver presses the Answer button to speak with the sender.

5C shows an example of outputting the contents of a call with a ringing tone upon reception of an incoming call.

Upon reception of an incoming call not stored in the contact, the control unit 180 refers to the menu setting and transmits the previous call content to the ringer 52 instead of the text. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5A, the receiver listens to the ringing tone, confirms the caller, and then presses the Decline button to reject the call.

5D shows an example of outputting a call history when receiving an incoming call.

When the user sets the 'call history' in the menu setting, the control unit 180 displays a call history 53 with the caller of the corresponding phone number when an incoming call not stored in the contact is received. The call history 53 includes a call history in which there is no call but only reception, or a call history in which the call duration is within a few seconds. Call Detail (53) As a result of checking, most of the calls to the caller have been rejected before, so the receiver presses the Decline button to reject the call.

In particular, an 'AUTO REFUSE' menu 54 is displayed on one side of the incoming call screen. When the menu 54 is selected, the control unit 180 automatically refuses to receive a call or a character from the caller in the future.

Thus, the present invention allows a user to accept or reject an incoming call by displaying information on previous call contents, call history, messages, etc. related to the caller when receiving an incoming call not stored in the contact.

In addition, the present invention manages the data in the form of a file by making menus similar to SPAM using data such as call history, conversation contents (text and voice), and exchanges the data file with another device, Can also be referenced when a call or message comes from the same originator.

6 shows an example of displaying the call history of a caller not in the contact.

Generally, when a caller who is not stored in a contact (telephone directory) needs to contact the user after a call, the receiver has to search the call list one by one based on his / her memory and search for the caller.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the call logs are selected, the present invention can display voice data and text on one side of a telephone number of a caller that is not stored in a contact, or listen to or view voice data or text A voice output icon 55 (or a message output icon) is displayed to allow the recipient to memorize whom he or she has spoken to via voice or text information, by looking at the stored voice data, feeling or viewing messages.

FIG. 7 is an example of displaying caller information by using a data collection function when receiving an incoming call not stored in a contact.

Generally, people who are involved in business use a lot of signatures when receiving e-mails and messages, and their contents usually include phone numbers and extension numbers [eg; Kim, Sung Soo, terminal) 010-2345-6789, ext.) 1234-1111]. The number information as described above can be extracted and collected.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, upon reception of an incoming call, it is checked whether the telephone number of the calling party matches the telephone number included in the extracted / collected data, and the calling information (reception or transmission) , A name on the signature (for example, Hong Kil-Dong), and a specific character (such as a company name, a string before and after the matching check number), so that the receiver can know who the caller is.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining an incoming call acceptance of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

8, when an incoming call is received, the control unit 1800 displays the telephone number of the caller on one side of the incoming call screen (S10), and checks whether the telephone number of the caller is stored in the telephone directory. If the telephone number of the caller is stored in the telephone book, a photograph or name indicating the caller is output.

On the other hand, if the telephone number of the sender is not stored in the telephone directory, the control unit 180 refers to the menu setting to determine the output format of the information related to the sender.

If the recipient selects 'call content-text', the control unit 180 extracts a part of the most recent call content from the call content stored in the memory 160 corresponding to the caller's phone number, and converts the extracted content into a text 50 And displays it on the rear display unit 151. [ At this time, the control unit 180 extracts a portion including the information (e.g., name and company name) from which the receiver can distinguish the caller among the entire call contents, and converts the extracted portion into text.

On the other hand, when the receiver selects 'call content-ringtone', the control unit 180 extracts a part of the most recent call content stored in the memory 160 corresponding to the caller's phone number, and outputs a part of the ringtone.

When the receiver selects 'message', the controller searches the message box for the contents of the message most recently exchanged with the caller of the corresponding phone number, and displays the message on the screen.

In addition, when the receiver simultaneously selects 'call content-text' and 'call content-ringtone', the control unit 180 simultaneously displays part of the most recent call content among the call content on a screen in a text form while outputting it as a ringtone.
