Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In order to implement the display method according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a screen minimization button (I), a desktop button (II), and a call holding button (III) are additionally installed on the terminal, and the terminal is connected to a call other than a call. In case of performing the call function and the call function, there are two cases.

First, when the terminal performs a function other than a call (specific function), as shown in FIG. 1, if the incoming signal (called: 'call') is received and the incoming signal is received, A first step of checking whether or not the call holding button (III) is input and checking whether or not the screen minimization button (I) is input if it is not in a reception state; A second step of ending a call after the call is connected if the call holding button III is input; If the screen minimization button (I) is not in an input state, after the completion of a specific function, the display goes to the standby state. If the screen minimization button (I) is in the input state, the desktop button (II) is pressed to add an icon to the desktop. A third step of checking whether another function is selected; If the other function is selected, after the other function is performed, the process ends and goes to the standby state. If the other function is not selected, the fourth step ends after performing a specific function and goes to the standby state.

Secondly, when the terminal performs a call function, the display method determines whether an incoming signal is received as shown in FIG. 2, and if the incoming signal is received, starts the call with an unspecified key while minimizing the screen. (A) checking step A of input; If the screen minimization button (I) is not in the input state, the step B goes to the standby state after ending the call only with the call holding button (III); If the screen minimization button I is in the input state, pressing the desktop button II to add an icon during a call to the desktop and checking whether another function is selected; If the other function is selected, after the other function is selected, the process ends and returns to the step of checking whether the other function is selected. If the other function is not selected, the call is terminated only by the call holding button (III). It consists of the D stage going to the standby state.

The operation of the present invention made as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4 as follows.

First, a description will be given of a display method when the terminal performs a function (specific function) other than a call.

As shown in Fig. 1, it is determined whether an incoming signal is received in a state in which the terminal is performing a function (specific function) other than a call (S1) (S2).

As a result of the determination, if the incoming signal is received, it is checked whether or not the call holding button III is input (S3). If the incoming signal is not received, the input of the screen minimization button I is checked (S4).

If the call holding button III is in the input state, the call is terminated after the call connection S5 (S6), and the standby state is returned. If the call holding button III is not in the input state, the call returns to the previous step S2.

On the other hand, if it is not the input state of the screen minimization button (I) to go to the standby state after the completion of a specific function (S7).

If the screen minimization button (I) is input, press the background button (II) to add an icon to the desktop (S8), and then check whether another function is selected (S9).

As a result of the check, if another function is selected, after performing the corresponding selected other function (S10), it ends (S11) and goes to the standby state. If the other function is not selected, after executing a specific function (S12) and goes to the standby state.

Here, the screen minimization button (I) is a button for iconizing a function that is in progress, that is, a desktop button (II) is a button for adding an iconized function to the desktop so that the user can see it. The call screen button III may serve as a call start and call end button function when the terminal enters a call while performing other specific functions.

In particular, when a call is initiated by the call screen button III, the call is always set to be terminated only by this button.

In addition, the [END] button shown in FIG. 3 is used to end a function other than a call, the [CLR] button is used to delete an activated icon and to remove a function from another function, and the [STO] button. (Save button) is used to perform icon activation for full screen display.

Next, a description will be given of a display method when the terminal performs a call function.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is determined whether an incoming signal is received in the state in which the terminal is performing a call function (S21).

As a result of the determination, when the incoming signal is received, the call is started with an unspecified key (Any-key) (S22) and the input of the screen minimization button I is checked.

As a result of the check, if the screen minimization button I is not entered, the call is terminated only by the call holding button III and then goes to the standby state.

On the other hand, if the screen minimization button (I) is input, press the desktop button (II) to add a call icon on the desktop (S25).

Subsequently, if another function of the terminal is checked (S26), if another function is selected, the corresponding other function is performed (S27) and then terminated (S28) and the other function is checked. Returning to the previous step, if no other function is selected, the call is terminated (S24) only with the call holding button III as described above, and then goes to the standby state.

The above display operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C of the embodiment.

For example, when the incoming call is received while the alarm setting is made by selecting the third 'alarm function' among the display screens shown in FIG. 3, that is, when the call comes, the call is started by pressing the call holding button (III). The call state is maintained until the hold button (III) is pressed.

Subsequently, when the screen minimization button I is pressed, the function of the icon is iconified (deactivated) and added to the background screen as shown in FIG. 4A.

Next, when the desktop button (II) is pressed, the icons added to the desktop are displayed as shown in Fig. 4b, and the icon as the default is activated, and the icon can be selected by adjusting the arrow keys shown on the side. have. At this time, the progress of the work immediately before pressing the desktop button (II) is not saved unless it is iconized, and the call is continuously maintained when the call holding button (III) is pressed.

As described above, the activation of the icon may be re-managed by activating the corresponding item to the full screen using the [STO] button.

Thereafter, when the user moves to the download icon and presses the [STO] button, the download icon is displayed in full screen as shown in FIG. 4C.

Functions that are active on the full screen can be closed using the [END] button as before, and icons that are disabled (disabled) can be removed by selecting the [CLR] button.

As described above, the present invention continuously proceeds or pauses by activating or deactivating the corresponding function by iconizing a function selected by the user while looking at the LCD screen using the internal speaker of the mobile communication terminal itself. You can do it. In addition, when a call is received while performing a function other than a call, the call is continuously made without interrupting the function, or iconized (disabled) so that the call is not visible on the screen for a while. After the operation is completed, it is possible to proceed by activating again, thereby providing an effect of improving various information rates of the terminal and implementing a multitasking environment.
