The present invention relates to a menu configuration method in a mobile communication terminal. More specifically, when a user selects and uses a particular menu in a specific area, the frequency of the menu is recorded so that the user can use the menu with the highest frequency when the user opens a folder in the location. The present invention relates to a menu configuration method in a mobile communication terminal that predicts a suitable menu in advance.

Today, due to the remarkable developments in the field of information and communication, the information and communication environment is undergoing a drastic change. In particular, the number of users of mobile communication, which is easy to carry, is increasing, and the demand for mobile communication terminals is increasing accordingly. Accordingly, new functions have been added to the terminal to provide convenience, and research on the terminal continues. Such a mobile communication terminal has been able to use the Internet using a mobile communication as well as a telephone, a message transmission and reception, a data storage function, Neil, receiving various text services such as securities.

Conventionally, in order to use additional services developed and provided by a mobile communication service provider or mobile communication system and various types of additional services provided by a mobile communication terminal, the corresponding additional service menu should be searched and one of them should be selected. Since each menu has a corresponding option, there is a menu attached or subordinated, and the former is called a main menu and the latter is called a sub menu.

In the main menu as described above, there are a plurality of sub-menus according to the selection. For example, in the case of the main menu 'electronic notebook', the sub-menu registers the phone book, schedules, schedule search, deletes the last schedule, sets alarm, calculator, etc. In the case of selecting one of the submenus as described above, the user enters the corresponding menu to perform the selected function.

That is, in order to use the various additional services provided as described above, the selection process is complicated because one of the various main menus can be selected and another one of the corresponding submenus can be selected to enter the corresponding function. There was a problem that it is difficult for the user to quickly enter the frequently used menus or preferred additional services.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and stores a menu frequently used by a user of the mobile communication terminal with information about the region at the time the menu is selected.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention displays a menu in the order of the highest frequency menu when the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened, and increases and stores one frequency for the menu when the displayed menu is selected. If a menu other than the displayed menu is selected without selecting the displayed menu, the frequency of the displayed menu is reduced by one, and the frequency of the other menu is increased by one.

In this case, when the folder is opened, the frequency is displayed on the screen in the order of the highest frequency in the area where the mobile communication terminal is located, and when the user selects the displayed menu, the frequency of the selected menu is increased by one for the area where the mobile communication terminal is located. Save it. Preferably, the region is limited to a region previously designated by a user, and the region is a system identification number (SID), a network identification number (NID), a channel, a pseudo random noise (PN), and a GPS (satellite). It is preferable to classify using one of the information of the navigation system (Global Positioning System).

In addition, the present invention, if the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened, the menu with the highest frequency is displayed on the screen, if there are a plurality of menus of the same frequency, when the folder is opened among the plurality of menus in the area where the mobile communication terminal is located Display in order of highest frequency. When the user selects one of the displayed menus, the frequency is increased by one for the selected menu, and the frequency of the selected menu is increased by one for the region where the mobile communication terminal is located and stored.

At this time, if the user selects another menu that is not displayed without selecting one of the displayed menus, the frequency of the displayed menu and the area where the mobile communication terminal is located are reduced and stored by one, and the frequency and movement of the other menus are reduced. The frequency of the other menu is increased by one and stored for the area where the communication terminal is located. Preferably, the region is limited to a region previously designated by a user, and the region is a system identification number (SID), a network identification number (NID), a channel, a pseudo random noise (PN), and a GPS (satellite). It is preferable to classify using one of the information of the navigation system (Global Positioning System).

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an internal configuration diagram of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

Although not shown, the mobile communication terminal 100 transmits and receives signals to and from a mobile communication system including a base station, a mobile switching center, and a short message center. It includes an RF transceiver 115 having a receiver including a. The receiver of the RF unit 115 suppresses amplification of noise as much as possible, amplifies a desired signal, and generates a digital signal through an intermediate frequency, which is analyzed and processed by the controller 103. In addition, the transmitter of the RF unit 115 modulates and amplifies a signal generated by the controller 103 in a desired frequency band, and finally radiates the antenna through a duplexer (not shown). In addition, the RF transceiver 115 transmits and receives wireless data with another short-range wireless communication module.

The display unit 106 may be formed of a liquid crystal display (LCD) or the like, and outputs various display data and text messages generated by the mobile communication terminal 100. In addition, when a folder is opened in a specific region, the most frequent menu corresponding to the folder is displayed in order.

The input unit 109 may include a keypad or the like, and includes a plurality of numeric / character input keys, a function key for interfacing with a user, a key for a call, and the like. The audio converter 118 converts a digital signal into voice and transmits it to a speaker or converts a voice received through a microphone into a digital signal.

The storage unit 112 includes a read only memory (ROM) and a voice memory for storing a plurality of programs and data. In addition, according to the present invention, the frequency of the selected menu and limited local information set by the user are stored.

The controller 103 includes a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor, and other circuits, and controls a transmitter and a receiver so that a mobile communication terminal user can make a voice call with another user through a speaker and a microphone. To help. In addition, according to the present invention, when the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened to control to display the menu with the highest frequency in the area in which the mobile communication terminal is located in order, if the user selects one of the displayed menu, the mobile communication terminal Increase the frequency of the selected menu by one for the area where is located.If the user does not select the displayed menu, decrease the frequency of the undisplayed menu by one for the area where the mobile terminal is located. Control to save by increasing one.

Next, the process of increasing or decreasing the frequency of the menu when the menu is selected and storing the menu, and the process of displaying the menus with the highest frequency among the stored menus in order when the folder is opened will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying menus having the highest frequency on the screen in order in the mobile communication terminal of the present invention. FIG. 3A is a screen example showing the menu displayed on the screen when a folder is opened. 3B is a screen example showing the appearance of a menu displayed when the displayed menu is not selected. 4 is a table showing frequencies according to menus stored in a storage unit of a mobile communication terminal, and FIG. 5 is a table showing frequencies according to regions and menus stored in a mobile communication terminal.

When the user opens the folder to use the mobile communication terminal (step 203), the control unit grasps the area where the mobile communication terminal is located (step 205). At this time, the controller displays the menus having the highest frequency in the region in order (step 207, screen 303a). For example, as shown in screen 303a, text messages are displayed in the first order in the order of the highest frequency in the region. If the user selects one of the menus displayed on the screen by pressing the OK button (YES in step 207), the user directly enters the selected menu mode and increases and stores the frequency for the menu (step 215). In addition, the frequency of the selected region is also increased and stored.

The area information may be one of information of a system identification number (SID), a network identification number (NID), a channel, a pseudo random noise (PN), and a GPS (global positioning system). It is preferable to classify, and it is preferable to be limited to the area which the user preset. In other words, designate a certain range in the location where the mobile communication terminal is currently used, and designate 'Gangnam Station' near Yeoksam, Seolleung and Samsung near Gangnam Station and select the menu together with the local information of 'Gangnam Station' when the menu is selected within the range. It is desirable to increase the frequency of the menu by one.

In this case, the menus not selected or the menus not displayed on the screen are reduced by one frequency (step 212), and the calculated frequency and area information of the menu thus calculated are stored in the mobile communication terminal (step 218). For example, if the frequency used to write a text message is 45 as shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects the text message creation and presses the OK button, the frequency is increased and stored to 46, which is increased by one. The frequencies of the remaining idle (Idle) menu and the phone book menu are stored as 9 and 29, which are reduced by one.

If the user opens the folder and presses the cancel button without selecting the menu displayed on the screen (screen 303b), the frequency of the displayed menu is reduced by one and the screen for selecting another menu that is not displayed is displayed (screen 306). It is preferable to show by.

     In addition, when the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened, the menus having the highest frequency are displayed on the screen in order, and when there are a plurality of menus having the same frequency, the frequency in the region where the mobile communication terminal is located when the folder is opened among the plurality of menus. Displays the highest menu in order. At this time, if the user selects one of the displayed menus, the frequency is increased by one for the selected menu and the selected frequency is increased by one for the area where the mobile communication terminal is located and stored in the terminal.

For example, when the frequency of selecting the idle state is 10, the frequency of selecting the text message writing menu is 50, and the frequency of selecting the phone book is 50, as shown in FIG. That is, the text message writing menu is compared with the phone book menu. In this case, if the location where the mobile communication terminal is located is 'place 2', the frequency of selecting the text message writing menu in place 2 and the frequency of selecting the phonebook menu are 3, the more selected menu in the same area Text message creation menu is displayed in the first order when the folder is opened.

Here too, when the user does not select the displayed menu and selects another menu that is not displayed, the frequency of the displayed menu and the frequency of the selected menu are reduced and stored one by one for the region where the mobile communication terminal is located. The frequency of other menus not displayed and the area where the mobile communication terminal is located are increased by one and stored. Therefore, when the user opens the folder later, the most selected menu is displayed on the screen. For example, if the text message creation menu is displayed on the screen in the first order, and the user selects another menu that is not displayed on the screen, the frequency is set at 50 for the unselected text message menu and the phonebook menu. At 49, the frequency for the region is also reduced from 5 to 4 and from 3 to 2, while the frequency of other selected menus is increased and stored. Therefore, the next time the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened in the region, the menus are displayed on the screen in the order of higher frequency.

Preferably, the region is limited to a region previously designated by a user, and includes a system identification number (SID), a network identification number (NID), a channel, a pseudo random noise (PN), and a GPS (satellite navigation device). It is preferable to classify by using one of the information of the Global Positioning System.

Next, a description will be given of a process of displaying a menu with the highest frequency by calculating the frequency of the menu according to the region for a plurality of regions within a certain range in the region where the mobile communication terminal is located.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sequentially displaying a menu of regions having the highest frequency within a predetermined range of a region where a mobile communication terminal is located, and FIG. 7 according to an area stored in a storage unit of the mobile communication terminal. A table showing a table in which frequencies are calculated and stored.

When the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened (step 603), the detected mobile communication terminal determines the area where the mobile communication terminal is located (step 606). At this time, if there are a plurality of locations stored in a similar location as the corresponding location, the most used area among the areas within the range is searched (step 609). In other words, if there is no same area as the location where the folder of the mobile communication terminal is opened, the area having the highest frequency among a plurality of areas adjacent to the same is selected and displayed on the screen. For example, suppose that a place close to the current location of the mobile communication terminal where the folder is opened is 'place 1', 'place 2', and 'place 3', as shown in FIG. 7. Are displayed in the first order, and a text message with the highest frequency is selected and displayed in the first order on the screen (step 612).

When the searched menus are displayed in order on the screen, if one of the displayed menus is selected according to whether the user selects them (step 615), the frequency is increased by one for the selected region (step 615). ). If the user does not select the menu displayed on the screen, the frequency for the displayed area is decreased by one (step 618). In this case, it is preferable to increase or decrease the frequency according to whether the frequency related to the menu is selected by the user. This changed local frequency is stored in the terminal (step 624). Preferably, the region is limited to a region previously designated by a user, and includes a system identification number (SID), a network identification number (NID), a channel, a pseudo random noise (PN), and a GPS (satellite navigation device). It is preferable to classify using one of the information of the Global Positioning System.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated to the several example, this invention is not limited to a specific Example. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the menu most frequently used in the area where the mobile communication terminal is used is selected, the frequency for the menu and the area is increased and stored, and then the user uses the folder to use the mobile communication terminal. When opened, by displaying the most frequently selected menus in the region in order, the user can quickly enter a frequently used menu or additional service.

In addition, another effect of the present invention, if the user does not select one of the menu displayed on the screen by reducing the frequency of the menu that is not displayed by one and the frequency for the corresponding area by one after the folder of the mobile communication terminal If you open, the same menu is repeated so that it does not appear on the screen.
