It provides services such as a schedule management function to store and enter important schedules. have. It also provides a short message service (SMS).

The portable wireless terminal normally displays the initial screen on the display when the power is turned on. On the initial screen, mobile phone numbers are displayed. Since then, the performance of the liquid crystal display driver (LCD driver) constituting the display unit has been improved, and it is now possible for manufacturers of portable wireless terminals to display their logo and manufacturer name (or service company name) on the initial screen. The logo is a graphic pattern, and the manufacturer name (or service company name) is displayed in text form. At this time, the initial screen of the manufacturer name (or service company name) in the form of the logo and text of the graphic pattern is not allowed to be arbitrarily changed by the terminal user.

As portable wireless terminals are exported not only to their own countries but also to other countries, their countries or their service providers require their logos and their names to be displayed on the initial screen. Therefore, a way to respond to this had to be devised.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying a logo and name of a corresponding country or a service provider on a mobile wireless terminal initial screen.

In accordance with the above object, the present invention is a portable wireless terminal initial screen display method,

Mapping a graphic screen containing logos and names of a number of countries or service providers to memory as an initial screen;

Displaying a country name or a service company name on the display unit of the portable wireless terminal according to a password input for initial screen setting;

A graphic screen including a logo and a name of a selected country or service provider is read from the memory and displayed on the display unit according to a selection of a corresponding country or service company name of an initial screen setup person;

According to the final selection of the initial screen setting authority, characterized in that the process consisting of setting the graphic screen including the logo and name of the selected or displayed country or service provider as the initial screen.

2 is a control flowchart for setting an initial screen according to an embodiment of the present invention;

3A and 3B illustrate an example of displaying a graphic screen including a logo and a name of a corresponding country or service provider as an initial screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same elements in the figures are denoted by the same numerals wherever possible. In addition, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a portable wireless terminal applied as an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the controller 20 performs an overall control operation of the mobile phone. The wireless unit 22 controls transmission and reception of voice data and control data under the control of the control unit 20, and the voice processing unit 24 controls the voice data received from the wireless unit 22 under the control of the control unit 20. (speaker) Converts to an audible sound through the SPK and outputs the voice signal received from the microphone (microphone) MIC to the wireless unit 22 to output the data. The key input unit 26 includes a plurality of numeric keys and function keys, and outputs key input data corresponding to a key pressed by the user to the controller 20. The display unit 28 displays various messages and the like under the control of the control unit 20. The memory unit 30 includes a program memory for storing program data necessary for controlling a mobile phone operation, and a data memory for storing data generated during control or during execution by a user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to display the logo and name required by the corresponding country or the corresponding service provider on the initial screen of the portable wireless terminal, the manufacturer may refer to the corresponding country or the corresponding service in the memory unit 30 of FIG. 1. Map companies' logos into graphic patterns. For example, an initial screen including logos and names of several to several dozen countries or corresponding service providers is mapped to a graphic pattern in a ROM (Read Only Memory) of the memory unit 30, and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and programmable ROM stores the address corresponding to each country or service provider initial screen mapped to the ROM. In addition, the name of the country or service company mapped to the ROM is stored in the EEPROM. The initial screen of the country or service provider is, for example, about 2 kilobytes (KB) per screen. If 20 countries or service providers are to be mapped to ROM, the ROM should have a capacity of at least 40KB.

In order to display a graphic screen including a logo and name of a corresponding country or service provider on the initial screen, the manufacturer or service provider must perform a special function as shown in FIG. 2 to set a desired initial screen. 2 is a control flowchart for setting an initial screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The initial screen setting holder of the manufacturer or service provider inputs a password for initial screen setting in order to set the initial screen required by the corresponding country or service provider. The initial screen setting password is preferably composed of a special code known only to the manufacturer or service provider.

When the initial screen setting password is input to the key input unit 26 of FIG. 1, the control unit 20 recognizes this in step 100 of FIG. 2 and proceeds to step 102. The control unit 20 reads the country name or service company name from the memory unit 30 and displays it on the display unit 28 in step 102. When displayed on the display unit 28, a country name or a service company name is also included. If the initial screen setting authority does not have a desired country name or service company name from among the country names or service company names currently displayed on the display unit 280, the scroller down or up the message using a scroll key. Accordingly, the control unit 20 recognizes this in step 104 of FIG. 2 and proceeds to step 106 to display the country name or service company name according to scroll down or up on the display unit 28.

The initial screen setting holder may select a country name or a service company name that he / she wants on the display unit 28 using a key. For example, it may be selected as a number corresponding to a country name or a service company name or may be selected using a selection key. When the selection key is used, the message indicated by the cursor (or arrow or reverse bar) among the messages displayed on the display unit 28 is selected.

When the initial screen setter selects a desired country name or service company name using the key, the controller 20 recognizes this in step 108 of FIG. 2, and proceeds to step 110, and the graphic including the logo and name of the selected country or service company is performed. The screen is read from the memory unit 30 and displayed on the display unit 28.

After that, when the initial screen setter makes the final selection using the key, the control unit 20 recognizes this in step 112 and proceeds to step 114 to initialize the graphic screen including the logo and name of the currently displayed country or service provider. Set to the screen.

If one example of the initial screen of the graphic screen including the country and the logo is assumed to be the country of the GSM service area, the initial screen may be a graphic screen including the GSM logo and country name as shown in FIG. . An example of the initial screen of the graphic screen including the service provider and the logo may be a graphic screen as shown in FIG. 3B.
