2 is a block diagram illustrating an operation configuration of a storage memory of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory controller 30 and phone book memory, camera memory, and video memory 32 which process storage and management of a short message received when the capacity of the short message is exceeded are shown in FIG. ) And the short message memory 34 are shown.

The mobile communication terminal typically stores information such as flash memory, which stores and stores main programs, flag information, call processing data, and memory that stores and uses timers, SRAM (static RAM), and mail and telephone numbers. Use EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable read only memory) memory.

The memory controller 30 of FIG. 2 has a spare capacity of another memory 32 such as a phone book memory, a camera memory, a video memory, a Java memory, and the like, when the short message memory 34 is insufficient due to the reception and storage of a large amount of short message. By checking and storing the short message using the other memory 32, it provides convenience for a user who uses a large amount of short message.

That is, not only the memory allocated exclusively for short messages but also the storage memory allocated for other functions such as phone book, camera, video, Java, and MP3 can be used as short message memory. It provides convenience to users who use a large amount of short messages.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a memory when a short message is received by a mobile communication terminal.

When the short message is received by the mobile communication terminal 20, the memory controller 30 checks the capacity of the short message memory, and when the short message memory 34 is free, stores the short message in the memory. (S40 to S43).

On the other hand, if the memory 34 for short message memory 34 in the memory controller 30, the storage memory allocated for the phone book (Phone Book), camera (Camera), video, Java (Java), MP3 is checked Finds the available memory area and displays the short message received on the screen of the mobile communication terminal to the user (S42, S44, S45).

If the user checks the short message and selects delete, the short message is deleted (S46 ~ S47).

If the user selects to save the short message, the address of the other memory area to store the short message and the size information of the short message are identified and stored, and the received short message is stored in the corresponding memory (S48 ~). S49).

As described above, FIG. 3 illustrates that the short message received when the short message memory 34 is insufficient is allocated to another memory (eg, Phone Book, Camera, Video, Java, MP3, etc.). 32).
