Description

Method for managing call history information of mobile communication terminal {Method for managing call history information in mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a method of managing incoming and outgoing history information of a mobile communication terminal, and in particular, to provide a user by managing history information of an incoming and outgoing time for each specific telephone number without repeatedly storing the telephone number of the called party. It is about how it can be.

Looking at the conventional method of the mobile terminal to manage the incoming and outgoing party's phone number, based on the current time and the latest incoming and outgoing telephone number as the highest order sequentially the order of the incoming and outgoing times in descending order Manage incoming or outgoing phone numbers. That is, the most recent incoming or outgoing phone number is stored in the '1' rank, which is the highest number, and the oldest incoming or outgoing phone number is stored in the lowest order.

Specifically, the mobile communication terminal stores the most recently received or sent telephone number at the position '1' of the incoming / outgoing history list so that the previously stored telephone number is pushed backward one by one. If the number of phone numbers stored in the mobile communication terminal exceeds the storage capacity, the mobile communication terminal sequentially deletes the called and received phone numbers stored in order from the lowest order to the highest order.

For example, if the mobile communication terminal receives the telephone number of 02-123-4567 while the telephone number '011-111-2222' is stored in the incoming call history list '1', the mobile communication terminal may call '02- 123-4567 'phone number is stored in the' 1 'rank of the incoming call history list, and the' 011-111-2222 'phone number stored in the' 1 'position is pushed back one number and stored in the' 2 'rank value do.

Calling and receiving history information method of the conventional mobile communication terminal as described above with reference to Figures 1a and 1b in more detail as follows.

Referring to FIG. 1A, a user's first call number from the call history list recorded on the mobile communication terminal is' 011-123-4567 'in the' 5 'rank, and the call number immediately following the number is' Hong Gil-dong (011-789-0123) ranked fourth. Subsequently, the user sequentially sends the phone number '011-123-4567' in the '3', '2', and '1' positions at regular intervals. In addition, the mobile communication terminal manages the incoming history list in this manner.

The name Hong-Gil-Dong is called by '011-7890-0123' and the phone book name matches the previous phone number. Usually, a mobile communication terminal has a phone book function to store a name matching a phone number.

As shown in the figure, a mobile communication terminal using a conventional method of managing an incoming / outgoing call history list is repeatedly stored even if the same telephone number is different in a storage order if the incoming / outgoing time is different.

However, since the number of incoming and outgoing phone numbers that the mobile communication terminal can record varies depending on the product, but is only about 20 to 40, on average, if the same phone number is repeatedly stored as described above, There has been a problem that the number of incoming and outgoing parties that the mobile communication terminal can record is greatly reduced. In addition, since the user is trying to talk again when the other party does not answer the phone, the number of the called party is recorded on the mobile communication terminal as well as the type of the called phone number displayed on one screen as shown in FIG. Shrunk.

In order to solve this problem, a method of managing an incoming / outgoing history list of a mobile communication terminal has been proposed as shown in FIG. 1B.

In FIG. 1B, the lowest rank '7' phone number '018-578-9097' recorded in the mobile communication terminal is a telephone number first called by the user, and the top rank '1' telephone number '011-123-' 4567 'is the most recently called number. Then, the phone numbers of the '6', '5', '4', '3' and '2' ranks the '7' ranks and then calls the '1' ranks. Calls are made in sequence at regular intervals before the call is made.

Here, when the user presses the keypad and selects any one of the displayed incoming / outgoing telephone numbers and presses 'OK', the mobile communication terminal enlarges the selected incoming / outgoing telephone number and the incoming / outgoing time information thereof as shown in FIG. 1C. Display.

In FIG. 1B, when the same telephone number is called and received more than three times consecutively, unlike in FIG. 1A, the mobile communication terminal does not store all of the same telephone numbers, but records only the latest history in the consecutive incoming and outgoing histories. The mobile communication terminal using the incoming / outgoing call list management method of 1b may store more types of incoming / outgoing phone numbers than the method shown in FIG. 1A. For example, if Hong Gil-dong has been called '3' consecutively, only the last incoming call is stored and displayed.

However, since a user generally calls two or more times with certain counterparties, the mobile communication terminal uses the same incoming / outgoing phone number as '2' even when the incoming / outgoing history list is managed in the same manner as in FIG. There is still a problem that by storing each time, the kind of incoming and outgoing telephone number which can be stored in the limited storage space of the mobile communication terminal is reduced.

In addition, the mobile communication terminal expands and displays an incoming / outgoing telephone number of the incoming / outgoing telephone number and time information thereof as shown in FIG. 1C according to the user's request by the keypad. There is a problem that users can not easily check the incoming and outgoing history information because it does not provide specific time information.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and by not storing the same phone number in the management of the incoming and outgoing history information in the mobile communication terminal, the number of incoming and outgoing phone numbers in a limited display and storage space Its purpose is to provide a method for managing incoming and outgoing call history information that can display and store types.

The present invention manages the incoming and outgoing call history information in the mobile communication terminal by separately managing whether the incoming and outgoing call for each phone number and time information and the like provided to the user, so that the user can easily check the incoming and outgoing history information Another object is to provide a method of managing call history information, which enables the user to make a call.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of managing a telephone number received or sent to a mobile communication terminal and history information thereof. A first step of confirming whether or not the call is stored in a call history list; If the incoming / outgoing telephone number is stored in the predetermined incoming / outgoing history list, the incoming / outgoing telephone number is deleted from the stored ranking, moved to the highest rank of the predetermined incoming / outgoing history list, and the incoming / outgoing call A second step of additionally storing the incoming / outgoing call information in the history information of the telephone number; And if the incoming / outgoing telephone number is not stored in the predetermined incoming / outgoing history list, storing the incoming / outgoing telephone number in the highest rank of the predetermined incoming / outgoing history list and storing the incoming / outgoing telephone number in advance. The third step of moving backward one by one, establishing history information on the corresponding phone number, and storing the incoming / outgoing call information is included.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the mobile communication terminal does not store the same phone number among the incoming and outgoing phone numbers, and among the incoming and outgoing phone numbers recorded for each phone number. In order to manage and provide this history information to the user, the configuration of a mobile communication terminal for implementing the technical concept of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal to which the present invention is applied includes a keypad 21 for inputting a user command related to management, transmission and reception of incoming / outgoing history information, and managing incoming / outgoing history information on the keypad 21. The control unit 22 controls transmission and reception according to a user's instruction by the user, and the transmission / reception processing unit 23 transmits a radio frequency signal under the control of the control unit 22 and receives and transmits the radio frequency signal received from the outside to the control unit 22. ), A liquid crystal display (LCD) 24 for displaying incoming and outgoing call history information transmitted from the controller 22, and a memory 25 for storing incoming and outgoing call history information transmitted from the controller 22.

The control unit 22 manages the outgoing or incoming phone number as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3D, but does not store the same incoming / outgoing phone number. That is, the control unit 22 stores only one incoming / outgoing telephone number in each storage area in the memory 25.

For example, the controller 22 stores the incoming / outgoing telephone number in the memory 25 as shown in FIG. 3A and displays a screen as shown in FIG. 3A on the LCD screen 24 when a user request is received through the keypad 21. . Here, the control unit 22 manages the incoming or outgoing telephone number by sequentially setting the lower order numbers in the order of the oldest incoming / outgoing time based on the most recently called telephone number based on the current time. Incoming or outgoing phone numbers are stored in the highest order '1' and the oldest incoming or outgoing phone numbers are stored in the lowest order.

In addition, the controller 22 stores the most recently received or sent telephone number in the '1' position of the incoming / outgoing history list so that the previously stored telephone number is pushed backward one by one. If the number of telephone numbers stored in the memory 25 exceeds the storage capacity, the controller 22 sequentially deletes the incoming / outgoing telephone number stored in order from the lowest order to the highest order.

With the incoming / outgoing phone number stored in the memory 25 as shown in FIG. 3A, the most recent call has been made or a call is made from the telephone number '019-337-3338' ranked '7'. If so, the controller 22 updates the incoming / outgoing history list as shown in FIG. 3B.

At this time, the controller 22 deletes the '019-337-3338' number from the '7' rank and stores it in the '1' rank, and instead, the existing telephone number stored as shown in FIG. 3A is reversed one by one. It's going to be a milia. Accordingly, the telephone number clinical prison ('018-578-9097') of the '6' rank in FIG. 3A is stored as the '7' rank in FIG. 3B, and the telephone number of the '1' rank in FIG. 3A ' 011-123-4567 'is stored as a rank' 2 'in FIG. 3B.

3A and 3B, when the screen is displayed on the LCD screen 24, the user presses the keypad 21 to designate any one of the displayed incoming phone number and then select 'time check' The controller 22 displays the selected incoming call number and incoming call history information on the LCD screen 24 as shown in FIG. 3C. Here, the displayed history information includes incoming time, missed incoming time, message receiving time, and incoming call time during call, etc. The time information is in descending order of incoming time with the most recently received phone number as the highest order. Set the order sequentially to manage the incoming phone number.

In the state of displaying the screen of FIG. 3C, when the user designates any one history list among the incoming history information displayed by pressing the keypad 21 and selects the 'confirmation' item, the control unit 22 displays as shown in FIG. 1D. Displays the selected incoming phone number and incoming call history information enlarged. Of course, in Fig. 3B, the " OK " is selected by pressing the keypad 21 to display a detailed call history screen as shown in Fig. 3D. Likewise, when the keypad 21 is selected by pressing the keypad 21 on the incoming call history detailed screen as shown in FIG. 3D, a screen showing the incoming call information and the incoming time information list is displayed as shown in FIG. 3C.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent the storage space of the memory 25 from being unnecessarily occupied by the advertisement messages and the push messages provided to the mobile communication terminal using a short message (SMS) service, the controller 22 Rather than storing broadcast messages and push messages as incoming and outgoing history information, only the messages directly transmitted and received by users of the mobile communication terminal are managed as the incoming and outgoing history information.

Next, a process of managing the call origination history information according to the present invention by the mobile communication single shot having the structure and function as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the mobile communication terminal first makes a call to the other party or receives a call from the other party according to a user's instruction (S401), the mobile communication terminal receives the incoming or outgoing party's telephone number in the incoming / outgoing history list. Check whether it is stored (S402).

If the check result is stored in the incoming / outgoing call history list, the mobile communication terminal deletes the incoming / outgoing call history information of the current call number from the stored history list of the incoming / outgoing call number and the highest rank '1'. 3, and at the same time as described above with reference to Figs. 3a and 3b from the telephone number in the immediately higher rank of the telephone number whose rank was changed by the incoming and outgoing call to the existing telephone number of the '1' rank Push back and store one by one, and the mobile communication terminal stores the current type of incoming / outgoing call (for example, missed call and message reception) and time information as history information of the currently called phone number as shown in FIG. 3C. Add and store (S403).

If, as a result of the check in step S402, the currently called telephone number is not stored in the incoming / outgoing history list, the mobile communication terminal stores the current incoming / outgoing telephone number in a memory area for storing the incoming / outgoing history information. Check whether there is a space (S404).

As a result, if there is a storage space for storing the currently called phone number, the mobile communication terminal stores the currently called phone number in the '1' rank, which is the highest rank, and ranks the previously called and received phone numbers. Push back and save sequentially (S405).

If there is no storage space for storing the current incoming / outgoing telephone number as a result of the checking in S404, the mobile communication terminal deletes the telephone number stored in the lowest rank among the existing stored incoming / outgoing history list and the history information related thereto. After securing (S406), the previously stored incoming and outgoing phone number rankings are pushed back one by one to proceed with the storage process of the current incoming and outgoing phone number (S405).

In the state in which the incoming / outgoing telephone number and the history information related thereto are stored through the processes (S401 to S405), the mobile communication terminal stores the incoming / outgoing telephone number as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3D according to a user's request and related information. The history information is displayed (S407). In the above description, the case where the called list and the calling list appear in one list has been described, but the present invention can be applied to the case where the called list and the calling list are separately provided.

Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described in detail according to the above-described preferred embodiment, it should be noted that the above-described embodiment is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention does not store the same incoming / outgoing phone number in the mobile communication terminal, thereby storing more types of incoming / outgoing phone numbers, and whether the incoming / outgoing call is made for each telephone number among the recorded incoming / outgoing phone numbers and time therefor. By separately managing the information and providing it to the user, the user can easily check the incoming and outgoing history information, thereby significantly improving the user's reliability.
