In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a voice call module for making a voice call by a terminal user, a touch screen module for writing by a terminal user to write a memo, and recognizing and displaying the written memo, and the handwriting. It provides a mobile communication terminal including a memory module for storing the memo.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention that can specifically realize the above object will be described.

First Example

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2A to 2C, and FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a mobile communication terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention, Figures 2a to 2c is a front view of a mobile communication terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a first view of the present invention A flowchart illustrating a method of creating a memo during a call according to an embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a voice call module 110, a first display module 130, a second display module 140, and a memory module. And a control module 170 and the like. Of course, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be configured to include other components (for example, radio transmission and reception module, etc.) other than the above components, but the other components are not directly related to the present invention will be described. For simplicity, the description thereof is omitted below.

The voice call module 110 allows a terminal user to make a voice call. The voice call module 110 includes three call modes, that is, a general call mode in which a user calls a terminal in a general call manner, an earphone call mode in which a call is made using earphones (including a headset) (not shown), and FIG. It is preferable that the speakerphone is configured to provide a speakerphone call mode for making a call using a speakerphone method using the speakers 113 of 2a to 2c.

The first display module 130 is configured as a touch screen to display a keypad for inputting a telephone number, etc. on the terminal (see FIG. 2A), and the terminal user is configured on the touch screen 133 of the first display module 130. It plays a role in recognizing when selecting a key button or entering a character or picture with a stylus pen or finger. This will be described later.

The second display module 140 serves to display information or an image of the mobile communication terminal. The second display module 140 may also be configured as a touch screen like the first display module 130.

In addition, the memory module 150 stores a character or a picture input from the first display module 130, and the control module 170 controls the entire mobile communication terminal 100. do.

The operation of the mobile communication terminal configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C and 3 as follows.

First, when a memo is required while a terminal user is in a call, a user starts writing a character or a picture with a stylus pen or a finger directly on the touch screen 133 without a separate key button manipulation.

Then, the controller 100 recognizes that the terminal user wants to write a memo [S310], and the shape of the numeric keypad of FIG. 2A being displayed on the touch screen 133 disappears and is shown in FIG. 2B. As described above, the memo-writing content of the terminal user is transferred as it is displayed [S320]. That is, when the terminal user starts writing on the touch screen 133, the screen of the touch screen 133 is switched from FIG. 2A to FIG. 2B, and is directly in a mode for writing a note without a separate key button or icon manipulation. Will enter.

In addition, when the call mode during the call is a general call mode, the voice call module 110 of the terminal 100 enters the memo writing mode and at the same time the speakerphone in the normal call mode without a separate key button or icon manipulation It is desirable to automatically switch to the mode [S330 and S340]. However, when the call mode during the call is the earphone call mode or the speakerphone call mode, it is preferable that the call mode is maintained as it is [S330 and S350].

In summary, when a terminal user starts writing on the touch screen 133 to write a memo in a general call mode, the call mode of the terminal 100 is automatically switched to a speakerphone mode and simultaneously shown on FIG. 2A. The numeric keypad of the screen disappears and the memo contents written by the terminal user start to be displayed as it is in real time as shown in FIG. 2B.

On the other hand, when the content written by the terminal user on the touch screen exceeds a predetermined capacity or when the time when the terminal user starts writing passes for a predetermined time, the memo content on the touch screen is shown in FIG. 2C as shown in FIG. 2C. The screen 143 may be automatically moved and displayed, and at the same time, the touch screen 133 of the first display module 130 may be configured to continue another memo [S360]. Of course, the movement of the memo from the touch screen 133 of the first display module 130 to the screen 143 of the second display module 140 is performed by the terminal user. It may also be configured to be done manually by selecting the icon 139.

Then, when the terminal user completes the memo and clicks the "save" icon 135, the memo is stored in the memory module 150 as a picture file [S370]. Alternatively, the memo may be automatically stored when the call is terminated without clicking the separate storage icon 135. If a new memo is required during a call, a new memo may be created by clicking the “new memo” icon 137. Of course, the "store" and "new note" icons 135 and 137 described above, as well as a "eraser" icon (not shown) may be configured in the touch screen as necessary.

2nd Example

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. 4 is a schematic block diagram of a mobile communication terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a front view of a mobile communication terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a second embodiment of the present invention. Is a flowchart illustrating a method of creating a memo during a call.

As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a voice call module 110, a first display module 130, a second display module 140, and a memory module. 150, the control module 170, and the character recognition module 190 is configured.

Role and operation of the voice call module 110, the first display module 130, the second display module 140, the memory module 150, and the control module 170 in the mobile communication terminal 100. Have already been described above in the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted below.

The character recognition module 190 stores the memo as a text file in the memory module 150 when the terminal user records only a memo as a character and not a picture during a call on the touch screen 133 of the first display module 130. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 as follows.

When the terminal user finishes writing the memo [S610], a window 136 is displayed on the touch screen 133 asking whether the memo written in the text file or the picture file is to be saved as shown in FIG. 5 [S620]. ].

When the terminal user selects the “save as image” icon in the window 136, the first display module 130 outputs the created memo as a picture file, and the picture file is displayed through the control module 170. It is stored in the memory module 150 [S630].

When the terminal user selects the "save as text" icon in the window 136, the picture file about the created memo output from the first display module 130 is transferred through the control module 170 to the character recognition module ( 190) and is recognized as a character [S640].

When the character recognition module 190 succeeds in character recognition, the memo is converted into a text file and stored in the memory module 150 [S650, S660]. However, if the character recognition module 190 fails to recognize the character, the memo is stored in the memory module 150 as an image file [S650, S630].

In the present embodiment, since the text file is much smaller than the picture file, more memos may be stored in the memory module 150.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the terminal user starts writing to write a memo on the first display, the terminal recognizes the start of writing and immediately enters the memo writing mode without a separate key button operation and continues writing the memo. It is configured to do so. However, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the mobile terminal user to enter the note taking mode only by pressing a separate key button or an icon (for example, a "take note" icon) on the first display through a simple design change therefrom. . In addition, the present invention may be configured to transmit a memo made of a picture file or a text file to a third party through a mobile communication network.

 Accordingly, the above detailed description should not be construed as limiting in all aspects and should be considered as illustrative. The scope of the invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the invention are included in the scope of the invention.

The method of creating a memo during a call in the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention described above and the effects of the mobile communication terminal that can implement the same will be described below.

First, according to the present invention, when writing a memo during a call with a mobile communication terminal, it is possible to leave a memo while continuing the call without having to repeat the work of removing the ear.

Second, according to the present invention, since a memo can be left as a general handwriting rather than a key button manipulation, many memos can be written using a mobile communication terminal much faster than in the related art.

Third, according to the present invention can be written as a picture memo as well as a text memo, it is very convenient when leaving a picture memo such as a map.

Fourth, according to the present invention, even if a memo is written by general handwriting, it can be converted into a text file and stored according to the user's selection, thereby greatly reducing the memory capacity for memo storage.
