Figure 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a conceptual diagram showing the operation possibilities of another embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to an incoming call of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to an incoming call processing method of a mobile communication terminal for processing incoming calls generated while using additional functions of various mobile communication terminals according to a reception mode specified by a user.

As the functions of mobile terminals become higher and higher, users who use them as simple telephones are greatly reduced. The rapid development of the controller, the display unit and the memory and the high speed of the communication network have led to the generalization of the wireless transmission and reception of such data as well as the multimedia generation and viewing using the mobile communication terminal.

Recently, according to the development trend of the prominent mobile communication terminal, the camera is built in the mobile communication terminal so that it is possible to take a picture or video, and to use the mobile communication terminal as a camcorder by allowing video recording and editing for a long time. To make it possible.

In addition, it is possible to watch satellite or terrestrial television using a mobile communication terminal using a variety of communication techniques.

Therefore, the mobile terminal is no longer a concept in which the telephone includes simple additional functions, but rather a complex multimedia device capable of wireless communication including voice calls. I spend a lot of time to use it.

However, it can be seen that the mobile communication terminal still considers voice calls as a main function, and the call processing method of the mobile communication terminal is an example.

That is, when a user makes a call while using a mobile communication terminal, the incoming method of the current mobile communication terminal randomly cancels the existing work or saves the state and terminates the call automatically. Is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal and waits for the user's reception.

FIG. 1 illustrates a case where an incoming call is performed when a user is recording a video using a camera function. For example, when an incoming call is performed while recording a video as shown in FIG. This display is displayed and waits for the user's reception. In the state as shown in FIG. 1B, the user cannot use other functions. Then, the user's opinion is excluded, and the captured video is randomly stored or deleted according to the setting at the design stage.

For example, if a user is taking a video of an important scene or watching an important television scene and a call comes in, the call will automatically switch to the incoming call waiting state, even if the call was terminated quickly. Will be put on standby, rather than waiting for the user to miss something important. This is the same operation even when an incoming call occurs while using most of the functions of the mobile communication terminal, so that the user may experience inconvenience due to an insignificant phone call.

As described above, the conventional mobile communication terminal was developed to use various functions in addition to a voice call, but when a call is received while performing another task, the mobile terminal automatically cancels or saves the existing task regardless of the user's intention. Since the screen is switched according to the incoming call is displayed while ending in the receiving state, there was a problem that the operation that the user is in progress due to the non-critical call is disturbed.

In consideration of such a problem, the present invention provides a user with a desired reception mode and screen setting when a call is received while performing a predetermined task using a mobile communication terminal, or according to a reception mode and screen setting contents specified by the user. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for processing an incoming call of a mobile communication terminal to control a reception mode and a screen so that various incoming calls can be handled according to a user's intention without unilaterally ending a user's ongoing work.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for processing an incoming call of a mobile communication terminal having various additional functions including a voice call. Checking a reception mode; If the user does not have a preset reception mode, requesting a desired reception mode designation without interrupting a function in operation, and receiving the user's designation; In the above step, if the newly set reception mode or the preset reception mode is a reception rejection mode, rejecting the incoming call while maintaining the existing function, and if the other reception mode is characterized in that it comprises the step of switching to the standby and call state.

The reception mode includes a reception-only mode and a reception and function maintenance mode, and if the reception mode is a reception-only mode, stopping the existing function and then displaying the incoming call screen and making a call waiting; If the reception mode is a reception and function maintenance mode, characterized in that it comprises the step of performing both the reception standby and call while maintaining the function in operation.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the concept of the present invention while showing an operation of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG.

First, when an incoming call is detected while the user is using additional functions included in the mobile communication terminal, the present invention may be configured in various receiving modes and display screen configurations according to the user's selection after checking the user's setting contents or the calling party's telephone number. I can provide it. In other words, the most important part is that the user's decision is taken into account in handling the incoming call while using the mobile terminal. The decision was made.

In the illustrated embodiment, a process of handling a call when the user selects a menu and performs an operation using any function, the optional functions may be all additional functions of the mobile communication terminal. In particular, it is effective when performing a multimedia generating function (recording, video recording, etc.) or satellite or terrestrial TV viewing function that may be inconvenient by arbitrary termination.

When an incoming call is detected while performing the above-described predetermined operation, the mobile communication terminal checks whether a preset incoming or outgoing mode exists. If the user has previously set the receiving mode through a predetermined environment, the incoming call is sent to the corresponding mode. If there is no preset content, the user may request the reception mode setting. In addition, the screen control method according to the reception mode may be determined as a detailed setting.

In addition, before the reception mode check, the incoming call and the caller's phone number may be informed to the user by using a pop-up window or a partial area on the screen.

If the reception mode preset by the user or the reception mode set by the request is a reception rejection mode, the detected incoming call is ignored and the existing working function is maintained as it is, so that an unimportant phone does not disturb the user's progress. Do not

If the reception mode is not a reception rejection but a reception-only mode, it means that the incoming call is answered first. Therefore, the reception function is terminated while stopping / storing / deleting a function according to a user's design or design. Make a call. In this case, the screen assigned to the reception standby and call is output. Or the screen may be forcibly turned off depending on the type of terminal.

Finally, if the reception mode is not the rejection mode or the reception-only mode, the call is also simultaneously performed while continuing the existing work, which may have various screen configurations according to detailed settings. In other words, the user wants to make a call with the work, so that the user can make a call while displaying the work on the display. If the work is an automatic work, the work progress is performed in the background while the work is assigned to the waiting or the call. Screens can be displayed, and two screens can be displayed by splitting a screen at the same time.

One embodiment of the present invention described above is a specific example, and it should be noted that the present invention does not have to include all the multiple modes described above. In the present invention, only one or more of the above-described modes can be achieved to achieve the object of the present invention, which is sufficient to reflect the user's intention.

3 to 4 further illustrate the present invention to further illustrate the reception modes and screen control states that can be specified when an incoming call is detected during television viewing and when an incoming call is detected during video shooting. This will be able to understand the present invention more specifically and intuitively.

First, FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a reception mode that can be designated by a user or an inquiry according to an incoming call and a screen control state when an incoming call occurs while watching a satellite or terrestrial TV broadcast on a mobile communication terminal. It can be divided into cases.

First, to reject the incoming call so as not to answer the incoming call to maintain the currently working function, and to receive and call after ending the working function by putting the incoming priority over the currently working function, and the working function. It can be divided into the case of holding and receiving calls while maintaining the same, among which the case of holding and receiving calls while maintaining the function in operation can be further subdivided.

When an incoming call is detected when the user is watching television as shown in FIG. 3A, different incoming processing and screen control may be performed by setting a reception mode as follows.

First, when the reception mode is set to the reception rejection mode, the ongoing work is maintained as shown in FIG. 3B so that the ongoing work is not disturbed by the incoming call.

Next, when the reception mode is set to the reception-only mode, as shown in Fig. 3c, the existing work is terminated (processing work according to the user's design or design time setting), and then only the reception and the call are performed. Screen control also displays only the screens allocated for call-waiting and call-in. That is, the reception mode is the same as that of the conventional method for processing incoming calls first.

Next, when the reception mode is set to the reception and function maintenance mode, there may be various detailed settings. However, in the present embodiment, it is difficult to process the function being worked in the background because maintaining the function means displaying the television content on the screen so that the user can check it. Therefore, in this case, the screen control is subdivided and applied to the two illustrated examples.

That is, when the reception mode is set to the reception and function maintenance mode 1, as shown in FIG. 3D, the work and the call are to be performed in parallel, so that the call can be made while displaying the work contents on the display unit.

If the reception mode is set to the reception and function maintenance mode 2, the TV broadcast contents and the screen output contents for reception waiting and call can be divided and output simultaneously on one screen as shown in FIG. 3E. This allows the user to visually check the incoming call process more precisely, while also watching television, an existing feature.

Although not shown, the incoming processing may be automatically performed by the reception mode preset by the user through environment setting or shortcut key setting, and the incoming call is notified to the user (popup, part of the screen). Display, call notification sound or vibration) The user may select a predetermined reception mode to be performed according to the result. Of course you can apply both.

4 is a diagram illustrating reception modes and screen control states that can be designated when an incoming call is detected during video recording, and may be divided into three categories in the same manner as in FIG. 3. However, in this case, the video recording does not require the user to display the work on the display in order to maintain the work, and thus the background of the existing work in the process of subdividing the reception and function retention modes (FIGS. 4D, 4E, and 4F). In addition, a mode (FIG. 4E) of displaying a screen allocated for reception waiting and a call on the display unit may be further added. That is, in the present embodiment, there are five kinds of incoming call processing methods that can be designated by the user when using the video capturing function, and more modes can be implemented in consideration of the segmentation of the screen control method.

That is, the present invention selects the priority setting and the work method of the simultaneous work that may appear in the process of transitioning the work environment of the mobile communication terminal based on the existing single work process to the multi-work environment supported by the current controller and the display unit. To allow users to actively participate. Therefore, the present invention can be applied more effectively when the work environment of the mobile communication terminal whose performance is improving rapidly is changed to a multi-work environment.

Of course, even if the present invention is applied to a mobile communication terminal capable of only a single operation, the effect obtained in terms of preventing the termination of the function being used by the incoming call detected during the use of a predetermined function is also great.

As described above, in the method for processing an incoming call of the mobile communication terminal, when a call is received while performing a predetermined task using the mobile communication terminal, the user may inquire of a desired reception mode and screen setting, or a reception mode previously designated by the user. And control the receiving mode and screen according to the screen setting so as not to terminate the user's work unilaterally, thereby reducing the damage such as interruption or loss of important work by the unnecessary call, and When the function being used is used at the same time, the existing work and incoming processing can be carried out as the user intended, thereby greatly increasing the convenience of the user.
