Referring to FIG. 2, the block configuration of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 will be described in detail. The power supply unit 202 supplies power required for the operation of the terminal to the personal mobile communication terminal 105.

In addition, the memory 204 is composed of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable ROM), ROM (ROM), and RAM (RAM), which is the initial state of the volume and various telephone numbers by the central processing unit 218. The ROM stores the non-volatile data for initialization and operation of the entire terminal by the central processing unit 218 to initialize the personal mobile communication terminal 105, and the RAM is controlled by the central processing unit 218. The parameters for the operation of the mobile communication terminal 105 are temporarily stored.

The key input unit 206 inputs a call number or key into the personal mobile communication terminal 105 and more specifically, the central processing unit 218.

The handset 208 includes a microphone, an analog / digital (A / D) converter, a digital signal processor, a digital / analog (D / A) converter, a speaker, and the like. The microphone receives the user's voice signal and converts the voice signal into an electrical analog voice signal, and the A / D converter converts the analog voice signal converted by the microphone into a digital signal.

The A / D converter applies a digital signal converted into a digital signal to the digital signal processing processor, and the digital signal processing processor communicates with the central processing unit 218 to process the digital signal according to the voice encoding method.

The D / A converter converts the digital signal data into an analog signal, and the speaker receives the analog signal of the D / A converter and outputs the analog signal as a voice so that the user can hear the voice.

The wireless signal transmitter / receiver 210 is divided into a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter receives digitally encoded voice data from the central processor 218 and loads it on a modulation carrier for wireless transmission. The antenna propagates the amplified signal in the air so that the base station receives it.

The analog voice signal received through the antenna is low-noise amplified by receiving the station's signal during the voice signal reception period of the terminal, converts the received signal frequency into the intermediate frequency, and extracts the original signal from the transmitted signal from the intermediate frequency. Applied to the central processing unit 218.

The buzzer 212 receives a signal from the central processing unit 218 to generate a special sound generated when a key is input and a special sound generated for use of a terminal such as a bell indicating that a call has been received. Let them hear

The timer 214 is a device that records the execution time of a program by performing reset, operation, and reading by designation of a program. The timer 214 executes a program at an inquiry time, a current time, and a constant time in a real-time system such as the personal mobile communication terminal 105. The operation is performed, and the elapsed time of the call is recorded.

The screen display unit 216 receives a signal from the central processing unit 218 to display a state of the mobile communication terminal using a display element such as a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The central processing unit 218 has a baseband processing function for controlling overall operation of the personal mobile communication terminal 105, and includes a power supply unit 202, a memory 204, a key input unit 206, a handset unit 208, It is connected to the wireless signal transceiver 210, the buzzer 212, and the like to receive and control information. For example, the central processing unit 218 checks the state of the power supply unit 202 and indicates the current power state of the terminal by using a light emitting device such as a light emitting diode (LED) so that the user can turn on / off the power of the current terminal. On / Off) status.

Referring to the embodiment of the procedure for displaying the talk time in the personal mobile communication terminal with reference to Figure 3, the central processing unit 218 is a base station (110-1, ..., 110-) through the wireless signal transceiver 210 n) wait for the message to be received (step 302).

When the call is initiated, the central processing unit 218 stores the call start time at which the call of the mobile communication terminal is started in the memory 204 and starts the timer 214 (step 304).

While the call is in progress, the time when the call proceeds is displayed through the screen display 216 (step 306).

After the first outgoing mobile subscriber makes a call request, the terminal outputs the time to the terminal screen from the reception of the waiting message from the called party.

It is determined whether the call of the personal mobile subscriber is terminated (step 308).

The call termination determination determines whether the calling mobile subscriber terminates the call or when the called subscriber terminates the call from the base stations 110-1, ..., 110-n at the end of the call.

If it is determined that the call has ended and it is determined that it has not been terminated, the process loops back to displaying the duration of the call while the call is in progress, and if it is determined that the call has ended, the personal mobile communication terminal 105 outputs the last time. In step 310, it is determined whether to store the time or not.

If it is determined in step 310 that the inquiry is not to be stored, the call is processed and terminated according to a general call processing procedure. If it is determined in step 310 that the current call time is stored by the inquiry in step 310, the central processing unit 218 ends and ends the start time. The difference is then stored in memory 204 for the current talk time for the call (step 312).

For example, if the 080 service is implemented, the charge is not charged to the caller, but charged to the called party, and if it is displayed on the personal mobile communication terminal, it is irrelevant to the charge of the caller even if it is not stored.

The time stored for the current call is displayed on the screen display 216 (step 314).

When receiving a command to save, a message for inputting a corresponding month is output to determine whether the corresponding month has been input (step 316).

If it is determined in step 316 that the corresponding month is not input, the procedure is terminated. If it is determined in step 316 that the corresponding month is input, the terminal receives the corresponding month, and the terminal determines the time and The total talk time for the month is calculated by summing the time previously accumulated in the month (step 318).

The subscriber is asked to output the total talk time of the month on the screen to determine whether an output inquiry has been input (step 320).

If it is determined in step 322 that the inquiry about the time output is not input, the process is terminated. Output and end (step 322).

As described above, the present invention allows the personal mobile subscriber to continue the current call by outputting the time of the timer embedded in the personal mobile communication terminal on the first call request and continuously outputting the talk time. There is an effect that allows the subscriber to recognize the total of the time and talk time of the desired period.
