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 the modulated carrier on a 1.8 GHz carrier for wireless transmission to amplify the modulated signal. The amplified signal propagates the amplified signal in the air to be received by the corresponding base station.

On / Off) status.

Referring to FIG. 3, a method of making a time reservation in the personal mobile communication terminal 105 is described. Thus, the user of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 can use the mobile communication terminal during the corresponding time as the mobile communication terminal. A time reservation is requested through the key input unit 206 (step 302).

Upon receiving this, the central processing unit 218 of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 requests the user to input a period during which the mobile communication terminal is available through the screen display unit 216, and the user of the mobile communication terminal via the key input unit 206. The mobile communication terminal receives an input of the available period of the mobile communication terminal and determines whether it is input correctly (step 304).

If it is determined in step 304 that the input is not correct, the period in which the personal mobile communication terminal 105 is available for the corresponding time period becomes invalid and can be used without time constraints as in the general personal mobile communication terminal 105. The screen display 216 outputs an error message (step 306).

If it is determined in step 304 that the input is correct, the screen display unit 216 displays an item requesting the user of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 to input the unit period in which the time reservation is updated (timer 214 reset). The unit period is received (step 308).

The central processing unit 218 determines whether the unit period of the mobile communication terminal input in step 308 is valid (step 310).

If it is determined in step 310 that the unit period for updating the above-mentioned time reservation is invalidly input, an error message is output and set to be set at an interval of one month (step 312).

If it is determined in step 310 that the unit period for updating the above-mentioned time reservation is valid, the unit period for updating the above-mentioned time reservation is in units of the period input in step 308 of the user of the personal mobile communication terminal 105. Causes timer 214 to reset (step 314).

For example, if you set a unit time period for renewing the time reservation to one month, and if it is available for six hours, and used more than six hours within one month, an error tone or the like is given before the month is reached or notified. After displaying a message on the terminal, the mobile terminal is reset to be available for 6 hours after one month, and if it has not been used for more than six hours for one month, the remaining time is ignored after one month. Reset to 6 hours available time again.

Referring to FIG. 4, a method of executing a time reservation in a personal communication terminal is described. In the state where a call service time is reserved according to FIG. 110-1, ..., 110-n) in a waiting state for reception (step 402).

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 404).

The central processing unit 218 monitors the wireless signal transmitting and receiving unit 210 and receives a signal indicating that the call has been disconnected, and reads the timer 214 to obtain a difference between the start time and the end time (step 406).

The central processing unit 218 obtains the difference between the end time and the start time in step 406 and stores the usage time of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 for the call in the memory (step 408).

At the time set by the subscriber, the time remaining in step 408 is subtracted from the value corresponding to the difference in time previously used by the personal mobile communication terminal 105 to store the south temperature value (step 410). .

The value corresponding to the difference of the time previously used by the personal mobile communication terminal 105 at the time set by the subscriber is stored by replacing it with the result value of step 410 described above (step 412).

The central processing unit 218 determines whether the result value of step 412 described above stored in the memory 204 is a positive value (step 414).

If it is determined in step 414 that the replaced value is not a positive value, a message indicating that the scheduled time has expired on the screen display unit 216 is displayed through the screen display unit 216 or the buzzer 212 is used. Audible tones (step 416).

If it is determined in step 414 that the replaced value is a positive value, the difference value of the time calculated in the above-described step to the total usage time stored after the reservation of the usage time of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 is determined. That is, the time available on the mobile terminal is displayed on the screen display and ends (step 418).

Referring to another embodiment of the method for processing the time reservation in the personal mobile communication terminal 105 with reference to Figure 5, the service subscriber before the call or before receiving the usage time for one call in a call unit The reservation time is stored in the memory 204 under the control of the central processing unit 218 via the key input unit 206 (step 502).

The central processing unit 218 is in a waiting state for reception from the base stations 110-1,..., 110-n via the wireless signal transceiver 210 (step 504).

If the call setup state request enters the base station due to originating or incoming call while the call service time is reserved, the central processing unit 218 starts the timer 214 (step 506).

During the call, the central processing unit 218 periodically checks the time on the timer 214 to determine whether the set time has been exceeded. Preferably, the determination is made in seconds, which is a time unit of the minimum input unit (step 508).

If it is determined in step 508 that the central processing unit 218 checks the radio signal transceiver 210 and the timer 214 and determines that the time has not elapsed until the call is released, the subscriber terminates the call connection normally. 510).

If it is determined in step 508 that the time is exceeded, an alarm sound or an error message using the buzzer 212 is transmitted through the screen display unit to inform the user of the personal mobile communication terminal 105 that the set time is reached (step 512).

When a command is inputted from the wireless signal transceiver 210 to the central processing unit 218, the central processing unit 218 checks the time of the timer 214 and calls the call of the personal mobile communication terminal 105. The time is calculated and output through the screen display unit 216 (step 514).

As described above, the present invention controls the service time of the personal mobile communication switch 130 manually or automatically by knowing the total talk time and automatically controlling it so that it can be used only within a predetermined time or at the time of charging. If the user is used only for the time reserved, and the time is reserved, the user is restricted from using the terminal.

The principles of the invention have been described above in connection with specific devices, which are described by way of example only, and are not limited to the spirit of the invention as described in the appended claims.
