Abstract

A mobile terminal having a function of displaying a list of incoming calls in absence and its method are provided to allow a user to easily recognize a caller by displaying caller information such as a photo or a profile together with an absent incoming call list. A mobile terminal receives an incoming call(S200). The mobile terminal checks whether its user answers the incoming call(S210). When the user does not answer, the mobile terminal checks whether the incoming call is terminated(S230). When the incoming call is terminated, the mobile terminal registers phone number of the incoming call in an absent incoming call list(S240) and displays an absent call notification(S250). When the user makes a request for checking the absent incoming call list(S260), the mobile terminal displays phone numbers of absent incoming calls starting from the phone number of an absent incoming call having the highest importance level(S270).

The present invention relates to a missed call list display of a mobile communication terminal. More particularly, the missed call list is sorted in descending order according to importance, so that a user can easily and quickly search an important call list and sender information such as a picture or a profile. The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal having a missed call list display function that can be easily identified by displaying together with a caller.

Caller ID service (Caller-ID Service) is a service that informs the recipient of the telephone number of the caller. Before the call is established, the recipient knows the other party's phone number and business name so that they can block unwanted calls in advance, improving customer service, and also prevents the caller from displaying his or her number on the called party. That is, the receiver can identify the caller through the caller ID display service. Currently, most mobile communication service subscribers are provided with caller ID service.

1 is a view showing an example of a missed call list display method according to the prior art.

Referring to Figure 1, the missed call list display method according to the prior art will be described.

The missed call list display method of the mobile communication terminal according to the prior art includes a method 120 for sorting in descending order according to the incoming time and a method 130 for sorting in descending order according to the number of incoming calls. Here, it is assumed that the mobile communication terminal is provided with the caller ID display service.

When the incoming signal ends without the user responding to the incoming signal received by the mobile communication terminal, the missed call notification is displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal (110). At this time, if the called number is already stored in the phone book 100, the called number is displayed along with the caller's name. The number of missed calls and the most recent missed time are displayed together. Thereafter, when the confirmation button is pressed, the missed call arrival list is sorted 120 in the incoming time order or 130 is displayed in the incoming call order. In addition, when a specific missed call number is clicked on the missed call list, detailed information about the missed call is displayed, and the name (when the caller registers the caller's name), the telephone number, the number of missed calls, and the reception time are displayed.

However, the above-mentioned missed call list display method according to the related art has the following problems.

First of all, the sorting method of incoming call time is overlooking the important missed call list that requires the user to confirm and call when the incoming or outgoing caller ID which is practically insignificant from the user's point of time is received several times in the recent time. There was a problem that could be done.

Next, the problem of the method of sorting in the incoming call order is as follows. For example, if a total of six missed calls are made, such as "019-3596-1111 (2)", "060-xxx-xxxx (2)", and "011-345-2222 (2)", respectively, Because the number of incoming calls is all the same, the importance of the sender is overlooked and only sorted alphabetically by name.

In addition, the problem of how to display detailed information on missed calls is as follows. For example, suppose that there are two callers A and one caller B out of three total missed calls. If A is the most recent call, the recipient's terminal screen displays the total number of missed calls, the caller's name (if the recipient has registered A's name in advance), the phone number of A, and the time of call from A. Only information about the system is displayed. It is very likely to be mistaken that only 3 calls are requested from the user's point of view, and there is a big problem that the call request from B is more likely to be overlooked. This problem is further exacerbated when the missed call list increases.

Such a prior art scheme displays only the recent missed call and the user should check the missed call list manually through a menu operation for the lower missed call.

In addition, recently released mobile communication terminals can store a list of about 1000 telephone numbers, and modern terminal users who have a wide interpersonal relationship can distinguish callers by name only from the missed call list as in the prior art. There was a difficult problem.
