As shown in FIG. 1, when a user selects a phone number to record a call while at least one phone number list is displayed and operates a setting button, a phone number to record the call content selected by the user is displayed on the mobile terminal. Stored in storage.

As described above, when a telephone call (for example, a voice call or a video call) event occurs for a predetermined telephone number set after the telephone number for recording the call contents is set by the user, a separate key for instructing the call recording from the user The mobile terminal will automatically record the call without any input.

For example, after '010-3263-4478' is set as a phone number to record a call, in the list of phone numbers shown in FIG. 1, a voice call or a video call is made from the phone number of '010-3263-4478'. When connected, the contents of the call performed with the other party of the telephone number are automatically recorded without the user's separate operation.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a call recording process of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A and 3B are user interface screens displayed during a call recording process of the mobile terminal shown in FIG. 2.

It is assumed that the call content recording process of the mobile terminal shown in FIG. 2 is performed after the process of setting a phone number for recording the call content shown in FIG. 1 is performed.

2, 3A and 3B, the mobile terminal first determines whether a call reception has occurred (step 201), and if it is determined that the call reception has occurred, extracts the caller's telephone number from the received call ( Step 203).

Here, the call may be either a voice call or a video call, and the mobile terminal extracts the telephone number of the calling mobile terminal from information provided from the exchange (eg, Alert with information message) when the call is received. .

Thereafter, the mobile terminal compares the extracted caller's telephone number with a list of preset telephone numbers to record the call contents (step 205), and determines whether the extracted caller's telephone number corresponds to the telephone number set to record the call contents. (Step 207).

In step 207, if it is determined that the extracted caller phone number does not correspond to the phone number set to record the call, the mobile terminal determines whether an event indicating call connection has occurred (step 221), and establishes a call connection. If it is determined that the event is indicated, a conventional general voice call or video call process is performed (step 223).

In step 207, if it is determined that the extracted caller phone number corresponds to a phone number set to record a call, the mobile terminal displays the caller information (eg, caller phone number and / or caller name) on the user interface screen. A call message is displayed (step 208) indicating that the caller's telephone number is set to record the call.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, when a voice call or a video call is received from a predetermined phone number set to record a call, a mobile number corresponding to the received call is automatically recorded. It is possible to display a guide message such as call recording indicating that the call recording function has been set up together with caller information.

Thereafter, after the call recording setting number message is displayed, the mobile terminal determines whether an event indicating call connection has occurred (step 209). If it is determined in step 209 that no event indicating a call connection has occurred, the process returns to step 201 to wait for a call reception.

Here, the event indicating the call connection may be generated as the user slides up a predetermined key (for example, a call key) provided in the mobile terminal or the slide unit of the mobile terminal.

In step 209, if it is determined that an event indicating a call connection has occurred, the mobile terminal displays a guide message indicating that call recording is started on the user interface screen (step 210).

For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when a voice call or a video call is received from a predetermined phone number set to record the call content, the mobile terminal notifies that the call content of the phone number corresponding to the received call is automatically started. You can display a guidance message such as a call is recorded.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal displays the call recording start guide message, and then records the contents of the call performed with the caller of the predetermined telephone number (step 211). If the received call is a voice call, the recording format for recording the voice call content in step 211 may be any one of MP3, WAV, PCM, and ACC.

Alternatively, if the received call is a video call, the format in which the video call content is recorded in step 211 may be MPEG4. The voice call or video call recorded in step 211 may be stored in a storage unit of the mobile terminal in real time.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal determines whether an event indicating termination of a call for a voice call or a video call being recorded has occurred (step 213), and if it is determined that no event indicating termination of the call has occurred, the process returns to step 211. Continues recording the call.

If it is determined in step 213 that an event indicating termination of the call has occurred, the mobile terminal ends recording (step 215).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal determines whether an event signal indicating power off has been provided (step 217). If it is determined that no event signal indicating power off has been provided, the mobile terminal returns to step 201 to sequentially perform subsequent steps. .

Alternatively, when an event indicating power off occurs in step 217, the call recording method of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is terminated.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a call recording process of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows a call recording process when a user attempts to connect a call to a predetermined number.

Steps 305 to 317 shown in FIG. 4 perform the same process as steps 205 to 217 shown in FIG. 2, and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, the mobile terminal determines whether a call origination has occurred (step 301), and if it is determined that the call origination has occurred, extracts the receiver's telephone number (step 303).

Here, the outgoing call may be either a voice call or a video call. Further, in step 303, the process of extracting the receiver's telephone number is performed when the user extracts the input telephone number when the user inputs the receiver's telephone number on the keypad of the mobile terminal, or when the user operates a predetermined hot key to make a call. The phone number corresponding to the shortcut number is extracted from the phone book of the mobile terminal. Alternatively, when the user selects any one from the missed call list and presses a call key, the selected missed call number may be extracted.

Subsequently, the mobile terminal compares the extracted recipient's telephone number with a list of preset telephone numbers to record the contents of the call (step 305), and determines whether the extracted recipient's telephone number corresponds to the telephone number set to record the contents of the call. If it is determined that the extracted recipient's telephone number corresponds to the telephone number set to record the telephone conversation (step 307), the telephone conversation is recorded by performing the steps 308 to 317.

Alternatively, if it is determined in step 307 that the extracted recipient telephone number does not correspond to the telephone number set to record the call, steps 321 to 323 are performed.

1 to 4, in the method for recording call contents of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a call event of either a voice call or a video call occurs, a call corresponding to the generated call event It is determined whether the number corresponds to the telephone number set to be automatically recorded, and if the telephone number corresponding to the generated call event corresponds to the telephone number set to be automatically recorded, a separate operation for instructing recording of a voice call or a movie call is performed. By automatically recording the call content without, there is an advantage that the user can easily record the call content.
