In addition, the application unit 220 integrally manages a plurality of call programs, such as a first call program 221, a second call program 222, and an N-th call program 223.

First, the mobile communication terminal 210 is powered on (S410). In this case, the controller 310 is responsible for the overall control of each component of the mobile communication terminal 210, and supplies power to operate the call programs 221 to 223 included in the application unit 220. To help. That is, the controller 310 controls the at least two or more call programs 221 to 223 to be driven simultaneously, and at least two or more call control servers 230 to corresponding to the at least two or more call programs 221 to 223. Control the communication with 250 to support the multi-call service.

Next, the mobile communication terminal 210 drives a first call program 221 of the at least two or more call programs 221 to 223 to make a first call of the at least two or more call control servers 230 to 250. The first call service information received from the control server 230 is provided (S420).

The application unit 220 manages at least two or more call programs 221 to 223 integrally, and call service information received from the call control servers 230 to 250 is transmitted through the call programs 221 to 223. Allow multiple or single outputs at the same time. In addition, the application unit 220 may multi-process the at least two or more call programs 221 ˜ 223 based on the WIPI platform.

Means the basic software to perform. Accordingly, the Wi-Fi can provide an environment in which wireless Internet contents can be used together and an application program can be executed regardless of a model of a mobile communication terminal or a mobile communication company.

In addition, the application unit 220 may manage to provide the latest call service information, which is updated individually according to each of the at least two or more call programs. That is, the call programs 221 to 223 operate individually in the application unit 220, and after being called by the application unit 220, the latest updated call service information is automatically displayed so as to be displayed more efficiently. The latest call service information can be provided.

Next, the second call program 222 of the at least two or more call programs 221 to 223 is driven during communication with the first call control server 230 to control the at least two or more call control servers 230 to 250. It provides the second call service information received from the second call control server 240 (S430). That is, the mobile communication terminal 210 receives and provides call service information provided through another call program from the corresponding call control server. Therefore, even after the second call service information is provided, a plurality of call service information such as third call service information and fourth call service information may be provided. An example of call service information provided through call programs is illustrated in FIG. 5.

5 is an example in which a surrogate operation multiple call of the mobile communication terminal 210 is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in 510 of FIG. 5, first call dispatch information related to surrogate operation may be displayed through the output unit 330 of the mobile communication terminal 210. The displayed first call dispatch information is information received by the first call program 221 from the first call control server 230. Next, as shown in 520 of FIG. 5, in the state where the first call program 221 is provided by using the multi-processing function of the Wi-Fi platform, the second call program 222 may execute the second call control server ( Second call dispatch information received from 240 may be simultaneously provided through the output unit 330. In this way, it is possible to provide the first call dispatch information to the N-th call dispatch information simultaneously or alone.

Although not illustrated in 520 of FIG. 5, when the number of call dispatch information appearing on the output screen increases, the user may more conveniently check the call dispatch information by providing a left / right scroll bar or a screen page change cursor. Accordingly, according to the present invention, by multi-processing at least two or more call programs that provide proxy operation call dispatching information interworking with the call control servers 230 to 250, it is possible to provide a plurality of call service information and additional terminals. And there is an advantage that can reduce the communication service fee burden. In addition, such a mobile communication terminal 210 may be used by a driver using other means of transportation such as a bus or a taxi in addition to the above-mentioned proxy driving.

The wireless transceiver 340 performs wireless communication to receive call service information from the call control servers 230 to 250. That is, it is a radio transceiver used to perform a mobile communication service while transmitting and receiving radio waves with a base station or to transmit or receive certain information according to the present invention, and can combine a radio transmitter and a radio receiver in a single package. And may generally include an antenna. In addition, the wireless transceiver 340 may be used in all wireless transmission devices such as a mobile phone, a wireless telephone, a portable radio, and may transmit or receive an analog signal or a digital signal. The wireless transmitter transmits a signal for accessing the base station, and the wireless receiver receives a signal from the base station in response to the transmission signal from the wireless transmitter.

In addition, the use of a predetermined electronic switch in the wireless transceiver 340 allows the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver to be connected to the same antenna, and prevents the output of the wireless transmitter from interfering with the wireless receiver. Accordingly, if the wireless transceiver 340 is manufactured in this manner, a half-duplex wireless transceiver capable of receiving a signal even while transmitting the signal may be used, and the transmission and reception of the signal may be performed in the same frequency band. In addition, it is also possible to design a full-duplex wireless transceiver that can receive a signal at the same time during the transmission of the signal, in which case the frequencies of the radio transmitter and the radio receiver are different enough to not interfere with each other to influence each other. You can not give.
