3 is a flowchart illustrating a manual display method in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, first, the user turns on the camera 121 built in the mobile communication terminal 100 (S1). In this case, the on operation of the camera may be performed through a menu for camera operation, or may be performed by selecting a manual menu. The user acquires the product name of the external device from the image obtained from the camera 121 (S2). The memory 160 of the mobile communication terminal 100 stores information on the shape of the features of the various electronic devices and the mounting position of the model name. The controller 180 obtains a product name of an external device existing in an image obtained from the camera 121 by using information about external shapes of various electronic devices stored in the memory 160. Alternatively, the product name of the external device may be obtained by directly inputting the serial number of the product or by using a device capable of identifying a specific code such as a barcode. If it is determined that there is no product name corresponding to the external device in the memory 160, the controller 180 may operate the wireless communication unit 110 to control to obtain the product name from an external server such as an internet server. . Then, manual information on the external device is obtained (S3). The manual information may be pre-stored in the memory 160 or may be downloaded through the Internet using the obtained product name by operating the wireless communication unit 110. Alternatively, the manual for the product name may be manually stored from an external storage medium such as a PC. Then, the extended reality program stored in the memory 160 is operated to display the first instruction of the manual in the displayed image. (S4). When the user's motion according to the first instruction is detected (S5), the second instruction of the manual is displayed on the image of the external device (S6). The user's motion may be an actual motion according to the first instruction of the user through the camera. Alternatively, the user action may be a touch on a specific location on the touch screen. Alternatively, the user operation may be an operation of recognizing a preset voice or changing a coordinate of a camera to a specific position. Specific embodiments thereof will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8. On the other hand, if there is a question about the manual displayed using the extended reality program, or if external help is needed, the user generates a selection signal for connecting another terminal (S7). The selection signal may be generated by selecting a predetermined dedicated key. The selection signal may be generated through a menu in a state where an extended reality image for the manual is displayed. When the selection signal for connecting the other terminal is generated in this way, the phone number associated with the product is automatically obtained (S8). This telephone number may be, for example, a telephone number of the manufacturer of the external device or an AS center telephone number. If the telephone number is stored in the memory 160, the controller 180 searches the memory 160 to obtain the telephone number. In addition, if the telephone number is not stored, the wireless communication unit 110 may be operated to obtain the telephone number through the Internet. Then, the controller 180 transmits a call signal for a voice call, a video call, or a text message to the phone number (S9).

[Example 5]

8 is an image for explaining a fifth application example of a manual display method in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fifth application example is an embodiment for receiving external help when the user uses the manual in the first to fourth application examples.

Despite using the extended reality program and manual data to explain how to use an external device that is convenient for the user, if the user has questions about this manual, the user may have a predetermined dedicated key (which may be a call key) or By selecting a menu, a phone number associated with the external device can be obtained and a text message can be sent thereto.

In the example of Figs. 4 to 7, when the user selects a dedicated key for sending a text message or uses the menu tree, as shown in Fig. 8A, "Do you want to send a message to the AS center"? Message 810 is displayed on the display unit 151. When the user inputs the enter key in this state, the text message creation screen is shown on the display unit 151 as shown in FIG. At this time, through the confirmed product name, to obtain the phone number of the AS center. In addition, the status of the manual when the private key is selected is checked, and the text message contents are automatically created. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the contents of the recipient name 811, the receiver telephone number 812, and the contents 814 are automatically determined and input. At this time, as the content, the product name 814-1 and the problem 814-2 at the present stage can be automatically input. In this state, when the user generates the text message transmission selection signal, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8, the text message transmission confirmation message 820 is displayed on the display unit 151.

In this example, an example of a text message has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a voice call or a video call may be attempted using a phone number obtained through the obtained product name.

An example of a video call will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

[Modification]

9 is a flowchart illustrating a modification of the manual display method in the mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 9, in the situation as in the example of Fig. 8, the terminal user issues a video call command (S11). Then, the controller 180 operates the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit a call signal for a video call to the AS center, and when the AS center accepts it, the video call proceeds (S12). Then, the image input through the camera 121 embedded in the terminal, the first extended reality image obtained using the manual data and the extended reality program stored in the memory 160 are transmitted to the AS center terminal (S13). The AS center terminal receives the first extended reality image (S14). The AS center terminal user creates a second expanded reality image using the first expanded reality image (S15). The second extended reality image is transmitted to the terminal (S16). Then, the terminal user receives the second extended reality image transmitted from the AS center and stores it in the memory 160 (depending on the user's selection) (S17 and S18).

According to the above-described modification, the terminal user can receive the extended reality image from the AS center of the external device, thereby obtaining useful help for a part that is difficult to understand in the manual.

In the above modification, the user is assisted through a video call with an AS center using an extended reality program. However, the present invention is not limited to this manner.

On the other hand, for example, the terminal transmits the location information of the part of the external device (called an object) and the manual information of the step in addition to the image of the external device, and the AS center transmits the image and object of the external device. Receives the location information, and the manual information, through this, to identify the problem of the terminal user. The AS center transmits an image of an external device, a help message, and object position information to the terminal user, and the controller 180 of the terminal displays the image combining the information on the display unit 151. This allows the user to understand the help of the AS Center more accurately.

In addition, the AS center of the present description is only one example to assist in understanding the invention, and should not be construed as being limited thereto.

The manual display method in the above-described mobile communication terminal and the mobile communication terminal to which the same is applied are not limited to the configuration and method of the above-described embodiments, but the embodiments may be modified so that various modifications can be made. All or part of the examples may be optionally combined.
