The present invention relates to a call method of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to an incoming call method in a mobile terminal.

In general, an incoming call is alerted by an incoming ring on a mobile terminal. In this case, the incoming ring signal may be a bell, a melody, or music. In addition, the ringing signal can be silently processed in public places such as conference rooms, libraries, and theaters to perform the incoming call function. This incoming call method may be an alarm method by vibration.

However, when a ringing signal is generated in a public place without the user of the portable terminal registering the portable terminal in the silent incoming mode, the user must rush out of the seat to receive the incoming signal or forcibly release the incoming signal. Therefore, when the user is located in a public place where the user cannot answer the call, it is preferable to inform the user that the user cannot answer the call and then perform the outgoing call by checking the incoming phone numbers.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an incoming call method capable of guiding a current situation in which a mobile terminal can not receive a call when an incoming call occurs.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a first voice guidance to move when receiving an incoming call in the silent incoming mode of the mobile terminal to receive an incoming call, and to receive a second guide to the calling party when the incoming call cannot be processed. To provide a way to service a call.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an incoming call method capable of guiding the current situation by forcibly transitioning to the silent incoming call mode when an incoming call occurs in a mobile terminal.

The method of serving an incoming call in the silent mode of the mobile terminal, or the method of serving an incoming call in the silent mode of the mobile terminal, generates a silent incoming alarm when an incoming call occurs in the silent mode and is moving to answer the call. A process of automatically outputting a first guide message for guiding and transitioning to a call waiting state, a process of transitioning to an incoming call service state when the call command occurs in the call waiting state, and a termination command in the call waiting state; After the output of the second guide message for guiding the call can not be received, characterized in that the process of ending the incoming call.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same components in the figures represent the same numerals wherever possible.

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a portable terminal performing a silent incoming call mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the communication unit 121 performs a wireless communication function with a wireless communication network. The communication unit 121 includes an RF transmitter for upconverting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, and an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and downconverting a received signal. The data processor 123 includes a transmitter for encoding and modulating the transmitted signal, a receiver for demodulating and decoding the received signal, and the like. That is, the data processor 123 may be configured of a modem and a codec CODDEC. The codec includes a data codec for processing data and an audio codec for processing an audio signal such as voice. The audio processor 125 plays a function of playing a received audio signal output from the audio codec of the data processor 123 or transmitting a transmission audio signal generated from a microphone to the audio codec of the data processor 123. The voice synthesizing unit 127 processes the voice signal input from the microphone in the mode of recording the guide message and converts the voice signal into voice guide data, and synthesizes the guide voice data received in the silent incoming mode to convert the voice signal into a voice signal.

The key input unit 115 includes keys for inputting numeric and character information and function keys for setting various functions. In addition, the key input unit 115 includes function keys for performing a silent call mode function according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory 113 includes a program memory and data memories. The program memory stores programs of the portable terminal and programs for performing a silent call mode function according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data memory is a memory for storing contents of various resources of the portable terminal and temporarily storing data generated during program execution. The data memory may store first and second guide voice data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The controller 110 controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. In addition, the controller 110 may include the data processor 123. That is, in the case of a mobile phone, the controller 110, the data processor 123 and the audio processor 125 may be an MSM chip integrated into one chip. The control unit 110 registers a silent call mode function according to an embodiment of the present invention, outputs first guide voice data according to a mode set in the silent call mode, and generates a termination key when a service of an incoming call is not terminated. 2 Output guide voice data and end incoming call. In addition, if the user sets the silent incoming call mode when the incoming call occurs while the silent incoming call mode is not set, the controller 110 services the incoming call in the silent incoming mode.

The display unit 117 displays data output from the controller 110. In this case, the display unit 117 may use an LCD. In this case, the display unit 117 may include an LCD controller, a memory capable of storing data, and an LCD display device.

In addition, the display unit 117 displays data under the control of the controller 110. When the data to be displayed when performing the simple call function exceeds the display standard of the display unit 117, the display data is scrolled and displayed.

2A and 2B are flowcharts illustrating a procedure for performing a silent call mode of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the silent incoming call mode will be referred to as a silent mode.

In order to perform the silent mode, the control unit 111 must first record a guide voice message for guiding the incoming call in silent mode. At this time, the first guide message recorded may not be able to answer the current call, so it may be a message to wait for a moment because it is moving to a place to answer the call. It may be a message to contact you again. In addition, the first and second guide messages may be pre-recorded and stored in the process of manufacturing the mobile terminal.

2A and 2B, the control unit 111 performs a reception standby state in step 211. The reception standby state refers to a state in which incoming, outgoing and additional functions of the portable terminal can be serviced using the portable terminal. In the above state, the user may set the manner mode. The manner of setting the manner mode may be set using a menu, and the manner mode may be set using a specific function key (silent mode button). At this time, when the manner mode is used using the specific function key, pressing the specific function key once sets the manner mode, and when the specific function key is pressed once again, the set manner mode is released. In this case, when the manner mode is set, the control unit 111 detects this in step 213 and displays on the display unit 117 that the manner mode is set in step 215. In this case, the manner mode may be displayed on the display unit 117 by an icon or a character.

When an incoming call occurs in the silent mode, the control unit 111 detects this in step 217 and indicates that an incoming call occurred in step 219. At this time, the status of the receiver / caller call waiting, the incoming ring can be displayed in a vibrating or silent, and displays the information of the calling subscriber on the display unit 117. In operation 221, the controller 111 outputs the first guide message stored in the memory 113 to the voice processor 127, and the voice processor 127 converts the first guide message into voice and outputs the voice. At this time, the first guide message may be a message to wait for a moment because it is moving because it cannot receive a call. Thereafter, when the called subscriber moves to a place and presses a call key, the control unit 111 detects this in step 225, and forms a call path between the caller and the called party in step 227 to transition to a call state. When the call ends, the control unit 111 detects this and returns to step 215 to transition to silent mode.

However, when the caller releases the call in the receiver / caller standby state, the control unit 111 detects it in step 223 and terminates the call, and then returns to step 215 to transition to silent mode. At this time, the control unit 111 stores the information of the calling subscriber in the memory 113 as a missed call.

In addition, when the called party presses the end key in the receiver / caller standby state, the controller 111 detects this in step 229 and outputs a second guide message in step 231. Then, the second guide message is synthesized into the voice signal by the voice processor 127, and the synthesized voice signal is transmitted to the calling subscriber via the audio processor 125, the data processor 123, and the communication unit 121. In this case, the second guide message may be a message indicating that the user will be contacted again later because the user cannot receive a call. After outputting the second guide message, the controller 111 automatically releases the call in step 233. At this time, in the call release process, the message is left by the calling subscriber while waiting until the calling subscriber releases the call. When the calling subscriber releases the call, the controller 111 detects this and releases the call. connect. In addition, the function of the end key may be implemented at a preset time in step 229. That is, when the called party does not generate a call or end key for a set time in the receiver / caller call waiting state, the control unit 111 waits for a set time, and the caller does not release the call for the set time and the called party calls the call key. Alternatively, if the end key is not pressed, the second guide message may be output and the call may be automatically released.

As described above, the subscriber of the portable terminal in the manner mode is set can check the information of the incoming call in the manner mode is set. When the incoming call menu is selected while the manner mode is set, the controller 111 detects the incoming call menu in step 235 and displays incoming call information stored in the memory 113 in step 237. In this case, if the random incoming information is selected from among the displayed incoming information, the control unit 111 detects it in step 239, dials the telephone number included in the selected incoming information in step 241, and performs an outgoing call service. In addition, if the termination key is received while the incoming menu is selected, the display of the incoming menu is terminated and the process returns to step 215. In addition, if the call key is pressed while the silent mode is set, an outgoing service is performed for the most recently received call among the incoming calls in the silent mode.

The subscriber performs the normal calling operation in the manner mode set as described above. When the call signal is generated, the controller 111 detects it in step 245 and proceeds to step 243 to perform the service of the generated call signal. In addition, when the manner mode button is pressed while the silent mode is set (or when the silent mode release is selected in the menu), the control unit 111 detects this in step 247 and releases the silent mode in step 249 and the reception standby state. To transition to. In addition, when canceling the silent mode, the control unit 111 may perform an operation of displaying information of incoming calls in the silent mode.

In addition, in step 213, if the silent mode is not set, the controller 111 monitors generation of an incoming call in step 251. In this case, when the incoming call is generated, the control unit 111 detects it in step 251 and transitions to the ringing state in step 252 to generate an incoming bell sound. In this case, when the user of the portable terminal presses the manner mode button (or sets the manner mode through a menu), the controller 111 detects this in step 253 and performs a silent call indication function in step 255. Output the first guide message. Subsequently, the processing operations of steps 257 to 267 are performed in the same manner as the operations of steps 223 to 233. After completing the incoming call service operation in the silent mode, the controller 111 proceeds to the step 215 in silent mode. Transition to state.

3 is a view for explaining the overall operation of the incoming service according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the reception standby state means a state in which an incoming call is generated and ready to answer a call. The incoming ring state means a state in which an incoming call is generated and the ring rings. The silent mode state refers to a state in which an incoming call is transferred to the called party / caller waiting state. The receiver / caller waiting state is a state in which the caller outputs a predetermined first guide message, and the receiver indicates that an incoming call is generated by vibration or a lamp. At this time, the first guide message may be a voice message for guiding that the user is currently unable to receive a call and is moving to a location where the call can be received. The above state becomes a state in which the ring service is being silently serviced. The call state refers to a state in which the receiver and the caller communicate with each other by forming a call path. The termination processing state is dmlalgs which outputs a second guide message and automatically terminates the call when the call service is terminated in the call waiting state. In this case, the second guide message may be a voice message for guiding that the user will not be able to answer the call at a later time. When the calling subscriber ends the call, the caller's phone number is displayed on the screen, and afterwards, when the call button is pressed, the call is automatically dialed to attempt the call.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, a manner mode is set in a reception standby state, and an operation of serving an incoming call in the manner mode will be described.

When the manner mode button is pressed in the reception standby state (or when the manner mode is selected in the menu), the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the manner mode in step 311. When the manner mode button is pressed in the silent mode state (or when the silent mode release is selected from the menu), the controller 111 detects this and releases the silent mode state in step 312 and transitions to the reception standby state.

When an incoming call occurs in the silent mode, the control unit 111 detects this and transitions to the receiver / caller waiting state at step 313. In the call waiting state of the receiver / caller, the control unit 111 displays a vibration or a lamp, displays information of the calling subscriber on the display unit 117, and outputs the first guide message through the voice processing unit 127. At this time, since the first guide message is currently in a state of not being able to answer a call, the first guide message may be a voice message to wait for a while since it is moving to a location capable of receiving a call.

After moving to the position where the called party can receive a call in the receiver / caller call waiting state, and presses a call button, the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the call state in step 314. In the call state, the control unit 111 forms a call path between the caller and the called party to serve an incoming call. If a call termination occurs at the caller or the called party in the call state, the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the silent mode in step 315.

However, when the called party generates a key for ending the call in the receiver / caller call waiting state, the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the end processing state in step 316. In the termination processing state, the control unit 111 controls the voice processing unit 127 to output a second guide message informing that the user cannot receive a call and automatically terminates the incoming call. Thereafter, the control unit 111 checks the incoming mode and transitions to the silent mode in step 325 if the silent mode is set; otherwise, the controller 111 transitions to the reception standby state in step 320.

Secondly, an incoming ring is generated in the reception standby state, and the operation of transitioning to the silent mode in this state will be described.

When the incoming ring occurs in the reception standby state, the control unit 111 detects this and transitions to the incoming ring state in step 317. In the incoming ring state, the control unit 111 drives the incoming ring and displays information on the calling subscriber on the display unit 117. When the user presses a manner mode button in the ringing state (or selects a manner mode from a menu), the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the receiver / caller waiting state at step 319. The subsequent operation is as described above.

Third, we look at the general incoming call service procedure.

When the incoming ring occurs in the reception standby state, the control unit 111 detects this and transitions to the incoming ring state in step 317. In the incoming ring state, the control unit 111 drives the incoming ring and displays information on the calling subscriber on the display unit 117. When the user presses the call button in the incoming ring state, the control unit 111 detects this and transitions to the call state in step 321. If a call termination occurs in the call state, the controller 111 detects this and transitions to the reception standby state in step 322.

As described above, when the terminal user is located in a place where the terminal user cannot answer a call, the mobile terminal outputs a message indicating that the caller is moving to a place where the call can be received, and then performs a call. can do. In addition, if the situation can not move, you can inform the status and terminate the call automatically.
