Advantages of the wireless communication terminal may be various, but above all, it is said that the greatest advantage is in the mobility provided to the user who is calling. Due to this mobility, the number of wireless communication subscribers has increased exponentially, and in recent years, wireless communication terminals are widely used by the general public.

Recently, a number of functions have been added to the wireless communication terminal which is popularly used for user convenience.

A representative function is a recent call list function that displays a phone number of another wireless communication terminal to which a call has recently been connected (or attempted to connect) to the wireless communication terminal. The recent call list lists the caller's telephone number included in the incoming call signal received from the base station and the recipient's telephone number included in the call originating signal sent to the base station. Allows you to learn information about other wireless terminals (or attempted to connect).

In addition, when the user selects a phone number listed in the recent call list and presses a call button or a message button (a button for composing a message), the user attempts to connect directly to the selected phone number without having to enter the caller's phone number. Or send a message.

However, the conventional recent call list duplicates the telephone numbers of the caller (when the user of the wireless communication terminal receives the call reception signal) and the receiver (when the user of the wireless communication terminal transmits the call origination signal). do.

That is, when the user attempts to connect a call five times to a specific phone number, the specific call number is sequentially duplicated five times in the recent call list. In addition, when the user receives a call reception signal from a specific telephone number five times, the specific telephone number is sequentially repeated five times in the recent call list.

If the same phone number is duplicated as above, when the user wants to select a specific phone number in order to connect a call or send a message in the recent call list, the user repeatedly scrolls the duplicate phone number as described above. It is also not good to look at.

Meanwhile, a conventional menu for managing a recent call list includes a selected phone number deletion and all phone number deletion menus, wherein the selected phone number deletion menu is a menu for deleting only a phone number currently selected by the user and a menu for deleting all phone numbers. Is a menu for deleting all phone numbers listed in the recent call list.

Therefore, there is no method of selecting and deleting only the duplicate telephone numbers at once from the telephone numbers listed in the recent call list.

Accordingly, in order to delete the duplicated telephone numbers listed in the recent call list, the duplicated telephone numbers must be selected one by one and then deleted by selecting the delete menu.

For example, in order to delete ten duplicate telephone numbers, the user must make ten telephone number selections and ten menu selections for each of the selected telephone numbers.

Therefore, when there are a lot of duplicate phone numbers in the recent call list, the user has to delete the duplicate phone numbers one by one.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and by storing duplicated phone numbers at a time in a recent call list of a wireless communication terminal, it is possible to easily search for a desired phone number and to store a memory storing a recent call list. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless communication terminal and a method having a duplicate telephone number deletion function, which can save space.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of deleting a duplicate telephone number at a time from a recent call list of a wireless communication terminal according to the present invention.

First, the user selects the telephone number to be deleted from the recent call list (210).

After the phone number to be deleted is selected as described above, one of the menus for deleting the selected phone number or deleting all phone numbers is selected by the user. Thereafter, the controller 150 determines whether the menu selected by the user is selected phone number deletion or all phone number deletion (220).

As a result of the determination 220, if the menu selected by the user is deleting all phone numbers, the controller 150 deletes all phone numbers listed in the recent call list (230).

On the other hand, in the determination result 220, if the menu selected by the user is the selected phone number deletion, the controller 150 searches the recent call list and the phone number of the phone number selected from the user is duplicated. The number is calculated and displayed to the user (240).

Thereafter, the user is selected whether to delete only the selected phone number or to delete all of the duplicated phone numbers (250).

When a menu for deleting only the phone number selected by the user is selected, the controller 150 deletes only one phone number selected by the user (260).

On the other hand, if the user selects a menu for deleting all duplicate telephone numbers from the user (when a duplicate telephone number deletion request signal is input), the controller 150 overlaps the telephone number selected from the user in the recent call list. Delete all phone numbers (270).

3 is a view for explaining a method of deleting a duplicate telephone number at a time from the recent call list of the wireless communication terminal according to the present invention.

Process '310' of FIG. 3 is a phone number currently listed in the recent call list.

The telephone number of '011-111-1111' is duplicated in the recent call list.

Among these, if the user wants to select (for call or send a message) is '010-9851-7778', the user must scroll 9 times to select the phone number.

Thus, in order to edit the phone number listed in the recent call list, the user selects one of the menus (delete selected phone number or delete all phone numbers) for the phone number listed in the recent call list.

If the menu selected by the user is deleting all phone numbers, all the phone numbers listed in the recent call list are deleted (330).

Meanwhile, when the menu selected by the user is to delete the selected phone number, the number of phone numbers overlapping with the selected phone number is calculated and displayed to the user. Thereafter, the user is selected whether to delete the entire duplicated phone number or only one selected phone number from the user (340).

If the user intends to delete only the selected phone number, only the phone number selected by the user who was in the first call list is deleted (350).

On the other hand, if the user wants to delete all of the duplicate telephone numbers (when a duplicate telephone number deletion request signal is input), the first, third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth times of the recent call list. All duplicate telephone numbers that were present are deleted (360).

Therefore, the user can select the desired phone number by scrolling only three times, and can also easily manage the phone numbers listed in the recent call list.

On the other hand, as another embodiment of the '260' process, the remaining phone number may be deleted leaving only one of the most recently received or sent phone number among the phone numbers overlapping the selected phone number.

The reason why the phone number is duplicated in the recent call list is when the phone number has been received much or the phone number has been dialed.                     

Therefore, it is highly likely that it is an important phone number for the user, and it is highly likely to call the phone number again. Therefore, if all of the duplicate phone numbers are deleted from the recent call list, it may be a hassle to input a phone number in order to connect a call to the phone number.

Therefore, when deleting the duplicate telephone number from the recent call list, the user deletes the telephone number of one of the duplicate telephone numbers so that the user can easily make a call connection to the telephone number.

4 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of a method for deleting a duplicate telephone number from a recent call list of a wireless communication terminal according to the present invention.

First, a menu for processing a recent call list stored in the storage 140 and a phone number of the recent call list is displayed by the control of the controller 150 (410).

Thereafter, the controller 150 determines which menu is the menu selected by the user (430).

As a result of the determination 430, when the menu selected by the user is deleting all phone numbers, the controller 150 deletes all phone numbers listed in the recent call list (460).                     

On the other hand, in the determination result 430, if the menu selected by the user is to delete the duplicate phone number, the controller 150 divides the duplicate phone numbers among the phone numbers listed in the recent call list into groups (440). .

Subsequently, the controller 150 receives the most recently received or duplicated telephone numbers classified into the group by the duplicate telephone number deletion request signal transmitted through the input unit (keypad) 130 by selecting the duplicate telephone number menu. Only one phone number is sent and the other phone number is deleted (450).

The duplicated phone numbers divided into the groups may be one group or, when multiple telephone numbers are duplicated in the recent call list, each duplicated phone number is formed as a respective group.

Therefore, the controller 150 deletes only the most recently received or sent telephone number for each group of multiple overlapping telephone numbers and deletes the remaining telephone numbers.

As described above, when the user selects a menu for deleting duplicate telephone numbers, duplicate telephone numbers of various groups in the recent call list can be deleted.

Therefore, the user can easily select a desired phone number from the phone numbers listed in the recent call list, and also saves the storage space of the memory storing the recent call list by deleting the duplicate phone numbers as described above. You can also look aesthetically.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) in a computer-readable form. Since this process can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art will not be described in more detail.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.
