The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a multiple selection method using a number pose function.

Mobile communication terminals are now prevalent in most people, so service providers and terminal manufacturers are competitively developing services and terminals with more specific functions to secure many users. For example, the mobile terminal may include a phone book, a game, a scheduler, a short message, the internet, an e-mail, a morning call, a pose. Various additional functions such as (Pause) are provided. The pause function is a function of delaying a dial for a predetermined time when a dial is transmitted. For example, the pause function is frequently used when connecting an international telephone call.

1 is a diagram illustrating a screen in which a number for using an international calling card using a pause function is stored in a phone book. In order to make an international call using the international calling card, an international telephone company number, a pin number, and a counterpart number are required.The user attempts to make a telephone call to the international telephone company number, enters a pin number to authenticate, and enters the counterpart number. Enter and talk. In this case, the numbers may be stored as one number in a phone book, and the international call is connected using the pause function. Here, the pause function inserts a specific character between the numbers, and when transmitting a dial, delays a predetermined time dial in front of the predetermined character and transmits the next number when a specific button, for example, a call button is input. Connect the above international calls.

Referring to Figure 1, the international calling card 110 represents a name stored in the phone book. Here, 080-000-1234 (120) is an international telephone company connection number, 2223334444 (130) is a pin number. 1-012-33-5678 140 is the counterpart number. The letter "p" is input between the numbers, and the letter "p" is the predetermined letter inputted to use the pause function.

The user selects the international calling card 110 as the name of the phone book to be called, and presses a call button. At this time, the terminal attempts to establish a call by transmitting the number string consisting of the international telephone company connection number, the pin number, the counterpart number, and the letter “p” input between the numbers. At this time, as the pause function, the dial is stopped in the alphabet "p" and waits until the call button input is detected. In other words, only the international telephone company connection number is sent out to connect the call with the international telephone company.

After connecting to the international telephone company, if there is a prompt to enter a pin number, the user enters a call button to transmit the next pin number. In the number string, the pin number 130 which is a number after the "p" is transmitted, and the number transmission is stopped again in the second alphabet "p".

The international telephone company authenticates the transmitted pin number and, upon successful authentication, sends a prompt to input the counterpart number from the user. At this time, the user presses the call button again, and the terminal transmits the counterpart number 140, which is the number after the second "p". Here, the international telephone company attempts to connect the call to the counterpart number and connects the call to the user.

As shown in FIG. 1, in order to use the existing pause function, a number that is too long is stored in one number so that the user is not readable. In addition, during a telephone call, there is a difficulty that a number that needs to be transmitted cannot be selected.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a number multiple selection method using a pause function in a mobile communication terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention to achieve the above object, the multiple number selection method using the pause function of the mobile communication terminal, the process of checking whether there is a button input for searching for a pose number during the call with the called party; When a button input for searching for a number is detected, searching for and displaying the pose number in a memory; checking whether there is a button input for selecting one of the found pose numbers; and when the button input is detected. And transmitting the selected pose number to a called party.
