The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a hybrid operation control method of a mobile communication terminal that enables flexible management of paging slot monitoring time of a CDMA2000 1x system by hybrid operation when using 1xEVDO. will be.

In recent years, data communication has become possible through wireless Internet as well as simple voice calls. This is possible due to the development of the technology of the communication method of the mobile communication terminal, a complex mobile communication terminal (or hybrid terminal) was released. Such a feature of the composite mobile communication terminal is to enable voice communication with the other party of the incoming call while using wireless data communication (for example, Nate).

In detail, when a 1xEV-DO is in a traffic state (packet data communication) under a hybrid operation, a 1x paging channel should be monitored to check whether an incoming call is received. At this time, a method for monitoring a paging channel includes a nonslotted mode and a slotted mode. Generally, a slotted mode is used in a commercial network.

The slot mode method searches a predetermined slot only with a specific slot (slot cycle index) and is designed to reduce battery power consumption. Then, as shown in the accompanying FIG. 1, the larger the specific period, the longer the search period, the battery is saved a lot.

That is, when the slot cycle index is 0, the search period is 1.28 seconds (sec) in 16 slots, and when the slot cycle index is 1, the search period is 32 slots and the search time is 2.56 seconds (sec). 2, the search period is 64 slots and the search time is 5.12 seconds (sec). As the slot cycle index increases, the search period becomes longer.

However, in the conventional hybrid operation, the larger the cycle cycle index, the longer the search period, which reduces the power consumption of the battery, but it takes a long time to check whether a call is received in a 1xEVDO traffic situation.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and it is possible to flexibly manage the paging slot monitoring time of the CDMA2000 1x system according to the amount of data by hybrid operation in a 1xEVDO connection state. An object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid operation control method of a mobile communication terminal.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for controlling a hybrid operation of a mobile communication terminal for providing a voice call by connecting an incoming call detected during wireless Internet use.
Detecting a hybrid configuration mode when the wireless Internet is executed;
According to the detection result of the hybrid configuration mode characterized in that it consists of a process of informing the incoming call by detecting a paging signal at a set period corresponding to the hybrid configuration mode according to the priority of the wireless Internet and voice call.

2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the RF unit 21 performs communication (1xEVDO and CDMA 1x) of the mobile communication terminal. The RF unit 21 includes an RF transmitter for upconverting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, and an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and downconverting a received signal.

The data processor 23 includes a transmitter for encoding and modulating the transmitted signal and a receiver for demodulating and decoding the received signal. That is, the data processor 23 may include a modem and a codec.

The audio processor 25 plays a function of reproducing a received audio signal output from the data processor 23 or transmitting a transmission audio signal generated from a microphone MIC to the data processor 23. In addition, the audio processor 25 outputs a notification sound notifying the incoming call in the 1xEVDO traffic state to the speaker SPK.

The keypad 27 is provided with keys for inputting numeric and character information and function keys for setting various functions. In addition, the keypad 27 may include a hybrid setting mode key, a 1xEVDO execution key, and the like according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The memory 29 may be composed of program memory and data memories. The program memory stores programs for controlling a general operation of the mobile communication terminal, a setting program according to a hybrid setting mode, and a hybrid operation program according to the hybrid setting mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. The data memory also temporarily stores data generated during the execution of the programs.

The controller 31 performs a function of controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. In addition, the controller 31 may include the data processor 23. In addition, the control unit 31 controls to set the hybrid operation according to the hybrid setting mode according to the embodiment of the present invention. Also, the hybrid operation mode detects a paging signal by varying the search period of the 1x paging channel according to the hybrid configuration mode. In addition, in the hybrid operation mode, the controller 31 varies the search period of the paging signal in a flexible manner according to the amount of wireless data transmission in the wireless Internet.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a hybrid operation control method of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 301, the controller 31 detects whether a hybrid setting mode key is input in step 303 in a waiting state (Idle) for waiting for an incoming call and for key input.

As a result of the sensing, when the hybrid configuration key is input, in step 305, the controller 31 waits for the user to set a slot for searching for the paging signal of the paging channel. Set the search cycle. During the use of the wireless Internet (1xEVDO), a search period for periodically searching for a paging signal is set. The hybrid operation mode is set by selecting one of the data priority mode, the data / incoming call notification mode, and the incoming call notification priority mode according to the hybrid setting key input. Here, the data priority mode, the data / incoming call notification mode and the incoming call notification priority mode will be described later.

Then, in step 307, the control unit 31 detects whether the 1xEVDO execution key is input, and if the 1xEVDO execution key is input, the control unit 31 proceeds to step 309 to detect the setting state of the set hybrid configuration mode.

Accordingly, steps 311 to 315 are performed according to the setting state of the hybrid setting mode.

First, when the setting state of the hybrid setting mode is the data priority mode, the controller 31 processes the received wireless data of the wireless Internet in step 311, and takes a long period of searching for the paging signal.

However, if the set state of the hybrid configuration mode is the incoming call notification priority mode, in step 313, the controller 31 processes the received wireless data of the wireless Internet and takes a short period of searching for the paging signal.

However, as a result of detecting the setting state of the hybrid setting mode, if the data / incoming call notification mode, which is a mixed type of the data priority mode in step 311 and the incoming call notification priority mode in step 313, the control unit 31 in step 315. Has a search period of a paging signal, which can be an intermediate period between the data priority mode and the incoming call notification priority mode, and detects an incoming call.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, operations of steps 401 to 409 are the same as operations 301 to 309 of FIG. 3. However, steps 405 and 305 are different, and thus, steps 409 to 417 and steps 309 to 315 are different.

Therefore, a detailed description of the same process as in FIG. 3 will be omitted, and descriptions of different steps 405 and 409 to 417 will be given below.

In step 405, the control unit 31 enters the hybrid setting mode key, and enters the setting standby state of the period variable mode, which allows the user to dynamically change the search period of the paging signal while using the wireless Internet. Set periodic variable mode.

In step 407, the control unit 31 proceeds to step 409 in response to a key input of the 1xEVDO execution key, and determines whether the variable period mode is set.

As a result of the determination, when the periodic variable mode is set, the controller 31 detects the data transmission amount of the wireless Internet in step 411.

Then, the search period is flexibly changed according to the data transmission amount, and the paging signal is detected in any one of the search periods 413 to 417. Accordingly, when the amount of data transmission is large, in step 413, the controller 31 changes the search period of the paging signal to vary.

However, if the data transmission amount is small, in step 415, the controller 31 changes the search period of the paging signal to be short.

However, in the intermediate state where the data transmission amount is not large or small, in step 417, the controller 31 detects the paging signal as an intermediate value of the search period of the paging signal in steps 413 and 415.

That is, in the hybrid operation control method of the mobile communication terminal of FIG. 4 described above, the search period of the paging signal is flexibly changed according to a preset data transmission amount (first reference data transmission amount and second reference data transmission amount). Service voice calls with
