How to copy memory on your phone

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile phone (copy communication terminal phone), and more particularly, to a memory copy method of a mobile phone for copying contents stored in a specific memory area to another memory area for memory management.

The configuration of a general mobile phone is shown in FIG. 1. Referring to Figure 1 described the configuration of a typical mobile phone;

The controller 111 controls the overall operation of the mobile phone. The duplexer 112 receives a radio signal received from the antenna ANT and outputs it to the radio receiver 113, and outputs a transmission signal received from the radio transmitter 115 through the antenna. The wireless receiver 113 outputs the data to the controller 111 when receiving the data, and outputs the wireless voice signal received in the call mode to the voice processor 116. The frequency synthesizer 114 generates a carrier removal signal for removing a received carrier signal in response to a reception channel under the control of the controller 111, and outputs the carrier removal signal to the controller 111. Output to the wireless transmitter 115. The wireless transmitter 115 synthesizes a voice signal received from the voice processor 116 and a carrier signal received from the frequency synthesizer 114 under the control of the controller 111 in the call mode. ) The voice processing unit 116 demodulates the coded voice received from the wireless receiving unit 113 and outputs it to the speaker SPK through the switch unit 117, and converts the signal converted into an electric voice signal by the microphone MIC. The electronic voice signal received through the unit 117 is coded and output to the wireless transmitter 115.

The ringer unit 118 outputs a ringing tone when receiving a ring signal under the control of the control unit 111. The memory unit 130 includes a ROM 131 in which a program storing control data necessary for controlling the control unit 111 is embedded, and a nonvolatile memory (NVM: Non-Volatile) for storing various telephone numbers and names. Memory) 133, and RAM 135 for temporarily storing and processing the data generated during the program control. The key input unit 121 has a key matrix structure (not shown), includes a numeric key for dialing and various function keys, generates a key input signal corresponding to a key input by a user, and outputs it to the controller 111. do. The display unit 122 uses, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), and displays the state and operation process of the mobile phone under the control of the control unit 111.

In the general mobile phone as described above, the nonvolatile memory (hereinafter, referred to as “NVM memory”) 133 of the memory unit 130 is an inactive memory that is not erased even when the power is turned off. Say memory. An example of the NVM 133 is a redial memory, which is a memory area storing a last dialed telephone number, a RECALLD CALL memory storing a telephone number of a received call, and an unreceived reception of an unanswered incoming signal. (MISSED CALL) Refers to a memory such as memory and a phonebook memory that stores general phone numbers and names.

When using a mobile phone, it may be necessary to move the contents stored in a specific memory area of the nonvolatile memory to another memory for efficient memory management. However, the conventional method of managing memory in a mobile phone does not have a function of copying contents in a specific memory to another memory, so the user has to remember the contents in a specific memory and enter the corresponding memory area one by one. That is, in the conventional memory management method, when the contents of a specific memory address are to be copied to another memory address, if the phonebook memory is a memory consisting of 100 addresses, it is troublesome to perform up to 100 input procedures to copy them all. And wasted unnecessary time. This is because in the conventional mobile phones, there is no function of copying the contents of a specific memory, for example, the contents of a redial memory or an unreceived memory, to a phonebook memory as a dump, and thus it is difficult to manage or reedit the contents of the memory of a specific use. It was difficult.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to introduce a memory copy concept in a mobile phone to solve the above problems, to provide a memory copy method of a mobile phone that can copy the memory contents of a specific use stored in the nonvolatile memory to another memory as a dump. Is in.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a memory copying method of a mobile phone that allows a user to copy the contents of a specific memory to the destination memory without re-entering the contents.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a memory copying method of a mobile phone which can be copied to a dump according to a user's selection when copying a memory, or can be copied by skipping individually.

The present invention to achieve the above object in the memory copy method of the mobile phone; If you choose to copy the contents of a specific memory area, you can display the contents stored in the memory, input the memory address to be copied and the destination memory address, and copy the contents of the memory address to the dump to the destination memory address. Characterized in that the process is made.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First of all, in adding reference numerals to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same components have the same reference numerals as much as possible even if they are displayed on different drawings. In addition, in the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention, such as specific processing flows. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that are determined to unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

The configuration of the mobile phone applied to the present invention is the same as that of FIG. However, the memory copy program according to the present invention is stored in the ROM 131, and the memory copy is performed according to the memory copy program stored in the ROM 131 when the controller 111 copies the memory according to the present invention. And performing a control function as shown in FIG. 3.

2 (2a, 2b) is a control flow chart for copying the memory of the mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a case where there is a name unregistered when copying the memory in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention This is the control flowchart of name unregistered data registration mode for registering a name.

1 to 3 will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention below. First, a control flow for copying a memory of a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2;

If the user selects the memory copy function by pressing the menu selection key provided in the key input unit 121 of the mobile phone in step 201, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 205, and when another menu selection key is pressed, the control proceeds to step 203. Perform the function. When the controller 111 detects the memory copy function selection in step 205, the controller 111 copies the contents stored in the NVM 133 memory of the memory unit 130 to each allocation RAM 135. As described above, the NVM 133 memory is a nonvolatile memory that is not erased even when the power is turned off, and refers to a specific memory used when the terminal is driven. In step 207, the control unit 111 displays a memory copy menu on the LCD of the display unit 122. The memory copy menu displayed on the LCD shows four options, for example, as shown in 207a, namely "[Redial → Phonebook Copy] [Hand Signal → Phonebook Copy] [Received Signals → Phonebook Copy] [Phonebook → Phonebook Copy] "memory copy menu option is displayed. After the control unit 111 navigates these options, when the user presses a key for selecting one of the memory copy menu options in step 209, the control unit 111 enters the corresponding memory copy menu in step 211. The selected memory copy menu option status is displayed on the display unit 122. Here, the memory copy menu state refers to contents stored in the selected copy menu option. For example, the memory copy menu displayed on the display unit 122 when the user selects the [Redial → Phonebook Copy] copy menu option. The state becomes the data of the redial memory area storing the last dialed telephone number and name, which is shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Then, the control unit 111 receives the memory copy menu state displayed as shown in Table 1, and inputs the memory address to be copied in step 213. In step 215, the control unit 111 receives a destination memory address from the user. For example, the steps 213 and 215 are described as follows. In order to copy the contents of the redial memory as shown in Table 1 to the phonebook memory, the user inputs the redial memory addresses 01 to 15 to be copied in step 213. In step 215, 21-35, the address of the phonebook memory to be copied are input. Then, the controller 111 compares the size of the memory address to be copied with the destination memory address input in step 217 and checks whether the size of the memory address area and the destination memory address area to be copied are the same. If the two memory address areas have the same size, the process proceeds to step 321, and if different, the process proceeds to step 219 to display an error and returns to step 211 to request re-entry. In step 221, the control unit 111 checks whether there is an empty address in which data is empty in the memory address to be copied, and proceeds to step 223 to display a message indicating that there is an empty address and an empty address on the display unit 122. , And return to step 211. However, if there is no free address in the memory address to be copied in step 221, the process proceeds to step 225. The reason for checking whether there is an empty address in the memory address to be copied is because it is not necessary to copy the memory contents without data. If necessary, the above verification process may be omitted. In step 225, the controller 111 checks whether all destination memory addresses are empty. If all of the destination memory addresses are empty, since normal memory copying can be performed, the process proceeds to step 243. If there is a address where data is stored in the memory address, the procedure proceeds to step 227. In step 227, the controller 111 copies the contents of the memory address to be copied to an empty address area of the destination memory. Then, in step 229, the control unit 111 displays the address and the contents of the data already stored in the destination memory before copying on the display unit 122. Steps 227 and 229 are provided to notify the user when there is a data address already stored among the address of the destination memory to be copied and to be controlled by the user later. The address of the destination memory to be copied If there is an address where data is stored in the file, the contents of the memory address to be copied to the destination memory address except for the address are copied. When the process is performed, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 231 or 233, where step 231 is a case where a dump copy is selected by a user in a memory copy method, and step 233 is skipped. Copy is selected. If the skip copy is selected in step 233, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 235 and displays the first stored address and contents among the addresses in which the data among the destination memory addresses are already stored before the memory copy is performed on the display unit 122. Display. After that, the controller 111 displays whether to copy the memory contents to the corresponding destination memory address indicated in step 237 and checks whether the memory copy is selected. If the memory copy is selected, the controller 111 proceeds to step 239 and the controller 111 copies the contents of the memory to be copied to the corresponding destination memory address, and proceeds to step 241 to check whether the next destination memory address exists. If not, the process proceeds to step 245 and, if present, to step 242 to display the next address and contents of the destination memory. Thereafter, the control unit 111 repeats steps 237 to 242 until the skip copy is completed to all addresses of the destination memory already stored.

On the other hand, if the dump copy is selected in step 231, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 243 and ignores the data already present in the destination memory address, and overwrites all the contents of the memory address to be copied with the destination memory address. do. At this time, the data stored in the destination memory address is deleted.

Through the above process, when the memory copy function is selected, the controller 111 controls the copying of the contents of the memory address to be copied to the destination memory address through dump or skip copying.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the memory copy function performs a name registration mode after the memory copy function in order to efficiently manage the memory so that the memory copy and name registration can be performed through a series of processes. Is completed, it waits for the user to select whether to perform name registration of data whose name is not registered among the memory addresses copied to the destination memory. If the user selects the name registration of the name unregistered data, the flow proceeds to step 250 to perform the data registration mode of the name unregistered data as shown in the flow of FIG. 4, and when all name registration is completed, the memory copy program according to the present invention is terminated.

The name unregistered data registration mode in step 350 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. If the name registration mode is selected in step 245, the controller 111 proceeds to step 351 to display the memory address and phone number of the first unregistered name of the copied memory. In step 352, the control unit 111 receives a name corresponding to the telephone number of the corresponding address from the user and registers it. If there is another memory address that is not a name registered in step 353, the controller 111 proceeds to step 354 and displays the next memory address and phone number that is not registered in name, and in step 335 receives and registers the name. After repeating steps 353 to 355 according to the name registration process, the process ends when name registration of all memory addresses is completed.

In this way, the memory copy according to the present invention can freely copy the contents of the memory to be copied for management and editing of the NVM memory 133. On the other hand, the working environment of the memory copy is to copy the contents of the NVM memory 133 to be copied to the RAM 135, and then copying back to the NVM memory 133 when the memory copy is completed. At this time, the contents of the copied memory are retained.

As shown in Table 1, the address of the redial memory to be copied is selected from 01 to 15, and the address of the phonebook memory to be copied is also 21 to 35. If there are no empty addresses up to the memory addresses 01 to 15 of the address and if all 21 to 35 addresses of the phonebook memory are empty, the contents of the addresses 21 to 35 of the phonebook memory after performing the memory copy according to the present invention are shown in Table 2 below. Would be the same.

TABLE 2

As described above, the contents of the corresponding address of the redial memory to be copied are copied to the corresponding address of the phonebook memory which is the destination memory.

On the other hand, in the detailed description of the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, various modifications are of course possible without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, the present invention can efficiently copy the mobile phone memory by dumping or skipping the memory content of the specific purpose stored in the mobile phone memory, so that the contents can be copied to the destination memory without deleting the contents of the memory to be copied. There is an advantage to manage.

Another effect of the present invention is that the copying of the contents of the memory has the advantage that the name registration of all the memory addresses or a specific memory address through a series of processes.
