2 is an exemplary view for explaining a process of displaying and selecting a received message in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention;

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying a received message in a portable communication terminal according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to a method of displaying a received message of a mobile communication terminal. In particular, when a message is received, the message is displayed to the user by scrolling the title and the sender information, and the message desired by the user with minimal key manipulation. The present invention relates to a method for displaying a received message of a mobile communication terminal so as to check the details.

In general, a mobile communication terminal is configured to receive a voice message or a text message in addition to a voice call function, and when receiving such a message, most terminals display a message with a number or an icon at the top of the LCD display screen. And to notify that it has been received.

More specifically, as shown in (a) of FIG. 1, the received message notification function in the mobile communication terminal is different in the display method for each service provider. Or the number of received voice memos (messages sent by voice editing) or voice memos (the ability for others to leave messages in an absent or disconnected service area). It is.

For example, if three text messages have been received so far, the text: 3, etc., and if two voice messages have been received, voice: 2, etc. At this time, if the message reception sound is set, a specific melody is output at the same time as the message reception and the user is notified.

Next, in order to confirm the received message as described above, the user selects a message type (text message or voice message) to confirm by pressing a message confirmation button as shown in FIG.

In other words, if you want to check the voice message, press the voice message confirmation button, if you want to check the text message, press the text message confirmation button.

If the text message confirmation button is pressed, a list (number and title) of the text messages received so far is listed as shown in (c) of FIG. 1, and the user presses a navigation key (button). Press to scroll through the list and select a message to check.

Then, as shown in (d) of FIG. 1, the detailed contents of the selected message and the caller's telephone number are displayed in detail. When the contents are long and cannot be confirmed on one screen, the contents are scrolled by pressing the shift key.

Next, the user who confirms the contents of the message as described above may delete the message by pressing the clear key, or may leave it as it is. To respond to the message, press the confirm reply (YES) button as shown in FIG. After editing the text message to be answered as shown in Figure 1 (f) and resend to the message sender.

In addition, as an additional function, as shown in (g) of FIG. 1, a message reception sound may be designated in a menu list, and a reception sound output may be activated or deactivated, and as shown in (h) of FIG. The type and number can be stored in the phone book so that messages can be checked directly from the message confirmation menu or the phone book.

However, the conventional technique as described above only displays whether and how many messages are received at the top of the screen when receiving a message, and thus no information on each received message is displayed at all. The contents and the sender's detailed information of each message can be known, which causes a very troublesome message confirmation.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. When the message is received, the title and the sender information are displayed in a scrolling manner to recognize the message to the user and to minimize the key operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying a received message of a mobile communication terminal, which enables a user to select a desired message and check details.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises: a received message detecting step of detecting whether a voice or text message is received; Receiving message display step of displaying the type and the subject of the received message, the sender information for each message, etc. sequentially in the order received in a predetermined time interval; A message selecting step of detecting whether a confirmation button for checking a content is input while the information on each received message is sequentially displayed; And a message output step of displaying the details of the selected message on a screen.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, in order to display various user information, a caller identifier (CLI) function must be provided to the terminal. This caller identification (CLI) is a function that delivers information such as the sender's ID, user name, and user ID to the receiver according to the standard.

Next, a process of displaying a received message according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

When the mobile communication terminal receives data such as a voice message, a text message, or a voice memo, the number of the received message is displayed at the top or bottom of the screen as shown in (a) or (b) of FIG. In the order of the message) and the sender information (caller number, caller name, caller ID, sender character, etc.) periodically from left to right (or right to left) with each message subject until you check the message content. Scroll

That is, conventionally, when a message is received, only the type and number of received messages are displayed on the top of the screen to notify the user of the reception of the message. However, in the present invention, the subject of the message and the sender information of the message are simultaneously received. By being displayed together with the user, the user can recognize the message reception and can immediately check the message received from any sender and from any subject without a separate key operation for message confirmation.

Of course, in order to scroll the message information as described above, it is obvious that the display format of the information displayed on the initial screen (for example, date, time, day of the week, greeting, etc.) is changed.

That is, the information displayed on the initial screen, such as a greeting, is not displayed or a space for displaying the received message information is changed by changing the size or position of the text.

At this time, the information display item (title, caller's phone number, caller's name, ID, character, type of message, etc.) of the scrolling received message is displayed by the user on the menu setting screen as shown in FIG. It can be set whether or not to selectively set, and in the case of a dual folder type terminal, it can be displayed on the auxiliary LCD (small LCD in front of the folder).

Next, when the confirmation button is pressed while the received message is being scrolled as described above, the scrolled message is selected and the details are displayed so that the contents can be confirmed.

In this case, when the message is a text message, the message is displayed on the screen immediately so that the message can be confirmed. In the case of a voice message, the message center can be connected and received.

When the received message is selected as described above, a method of outputting a subsequent text or voice message is performed in the same manner as in the related art.

That is, when the selected message is a text message, detailed contents of the selected message and the caller's telephone number are displayed in detail as shown in FIG. 2 (d). Scroll

Next, the user who confirms the contents of the message as described above may delete the message by pressing the clear key, or may leave it as it is. To respond to the message, press the confirm reply (YES) button as shown in FIG. Edit the text message or record your voice and resend it to the sender of the message.

In this case, the scroll function may be processed by a software timer (an operation function for operating a program for a predetermined time), and may sequentially output messages sequentially received.

As described above, the method for displaying a received message of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention recognizes the reception of a message and simultaneously outputs the caller information along with the title of the received voice, text message or voice memo to check the brief contents thereof in real time. It is effective.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of minimizing the key operation for confirming the message by enabling the user to immediately check the message content by pressing the confirmation button when scrolling the message list.

In addition, when the message display method according to the present invention is applied to the dual folder to be displayed on the auxiliary LCD screen, there is an effect that the user can check the message without opening the folder.
