The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal capable of interworking with weather / traffic information, and more particularly, to a mobile communication terminal and a method for displaying changes in connection with weather / traffic information.

In general, the main purpose of the mobile communication terminal was the telephone call, but recently, the function of the mobile communication terminal is expanding to other fields.

That is, in addition to the unique voice call function, various types of life information, short messages, traffic cards, phone banking, and other data communication functions are possible, and important information can be stored in a mobile communication terminal.

Of course, there is a function that allows the user to set the execution time or the scheduled time directly, such as a schedule management, alarm, wake-up call, etiquette functions. This means that if the user sets a certain time, the terminal checks the time and informs the user when the time is reached.

However, in the case of conventional schedule management or alarm setting, if the user sets it, it is executed according to the set time, and thus there is a disadvantage in that it cannot reflect unexpected circumstances.

In addition, when the weather or traffic conditions are changed, there is a problem in that the user does not effectively prepare for the situation change.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a mobile communication terminal and an interworking method for reflecting a change of a situation in conjunction with weather and traffic information, and informing a user of the condition so as to prepare for this problem.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wireless circuit unit for receiving weather / traffic information, a controller for notifying an altered condition by checking whether an exception occurs when the weather / traffic information is received, and sensing goods tagged with RFID tags. RFID (Radio frequency identification) module unit for detecting the detection, the analysis module unit for detecting whether there is an exception by analyzing the received weather / traffic information, and if the weather / traffic information is received from this to check whether the exception occurred The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal that can interoperate with weather / traffic information including a memory unit for storing data and a program including an algorithm for performing a process of informing a matter and searching for and recommending necessary items.

The apparatus may further include a display unit for displaying the change and an audio converter for outputting the change as a voice.

The apparatus may further include a timer unit for counting the elapsed time of the change time according to the change situation and transmitting the counted time to the control unit.

At this time, the change is characterized by including the recommended article name.

In addition, the memory unit includes an analysis information DB containing information analyzing weather / traffic information, an RFID DB containing item information extracted from an RFID tag, and notification information storing data including set or scheduled alarms or schedule management. DB is included.

At this time, the RFID DB may be the product information of the house sensed by the RFID module unit or the product information of the house sensed after an exception occurs.

In another aspect, the present invention, the step of receiving weather / traffic information, determining whether or not an exception occurs when the analysis is made from the received information, if an exception occurs, changing the predetermined time, and exceptions If this does not occur, it provides a weather / traffic information linkage method comprising the step of executing the notification information according to the setting information.

In addition, after the predetermined time, the method may further include searching for an article in the RFID DB and outputting a change including the searched article.

In this case, the article search may be an article having an RFID tag in the house.

Therefore, according to the mobile communication terminal and the method of interlocking with the weather / traffic information, it is possible to prepare in advance by reflecting the change of the situation in conjunction with the weather and traffic information and notifying the user of this state.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment according to the present invention.

1 is a system configuration diagram of a mobile communication terminal that can be linked to the weather / traffic information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 100, the key input unit 110, the display unit 120, the RFID module unit 130, analysis module 140, memory unit 150, audio conversion The unit 160, the wireless circuit unit 170, and the timer unit 180 are provided.

The controller 100 controls the functions implemented in the mobile communication terminal and processes data and signals with other components. In particular, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the weather / traffic information is received, the change is confirmed by checking whether an exception occurs.

Of course, when an exception occurs, the process of searching for and recommending the necessary items is also performed. Figures showing this process are shown in Figures 2-4. Detailed description thereof will be given later.

The key input unit 110 performs a digit button (0-9), a special key button (*, # ....), a letter key button engraved with a Korean alphabet or alphabet, which is used as an input in a mobile communication terminal. Consists of a function key button, and serves as an interface for transmitting a user's instruction to the control unit 100.

The display unit 120 may be formed of a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), or the like, and is controlled by the user of the mobile terminal according to the control of the controller 100. Displays the selected menu screen, the execution screen, and the result screen. In particular, the present invention displays a change screen according to the exception. A screen example showing this is shown in FIG. 4. This will be described later.

The RFID module unit 130 searches for an article with an RFID tag and stores the article information in the memory unit 150. Of course, the RFID tag generally has an RF unit for wireless communication and a storage unit for storing information. Therefore, since the storage unit contains detailed information such as the price, color, and manufacturing date of the article, the terminal acquires the article information through the RFID module unit and stores it in the corresponding database of the memory unit 150. In particular, in the present invention, if there is an RFID tag in the object in the house, it detects it and stores the object information in the RFID DB 152. Of course, detection can be done in real time and, alternatively, after analyzing weather / traffic information.

The analysis module 140 performs a function of analyzing the received weather / traffic information. In other words, weather / traffic information includes a weather forecast or a traffic condition, and thus a tool for analyzing the weather is required. Of course, the analysis module is configurable by software and uses the analysis information database stored in the memory unit 150.

The memory unit 150 may include a flash memory, a RAM, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), and the like. To explain this, the basic real-time operating system (OS) and the call processing software of the mobile communication terminal are stored in the flash memory, and the variables and states of these programs are loaded from the RAM and operated. The ROM may be configured as an EEPROM, and may store nonvolatile data that may be electrically erased or stored again and perform input / output according to a command of the controller 100.

Particularly, in the present invention, when the weather / traffic information is received, the program and data are stored, which includes an algorithm for checking whether an exception has occurred and notifying the change, and searching for and recommending necessary items.

In addition, the analysis information DB 151 analyzing the weather / traffic information, the RFID DB 152 containing the product information extracted from the RFID tag, and the notification information DB for storing data such as set or scheduled alarm or schedule management ( 153 is configured. Of course, the RFID DB 152 may store the article information transmitted through the wireless circuit unit 170 as well as the article information searched indoors through the RFID module unit 130.

The audio converting unit 160 converts the voice data received from the wireless circuit unit 170 into an audible sound through the speaker 161 and outputs the audio data received from the microphone 162 under the control of the control unit 100. The voice signal is modulated, converted into voice data, and transmitted to the controller 100.

In particular, when the alarm function is set in the present invention, the ring tone is output through the speaker 161 at the corresponding time. It is also possible to output the change via a prerecorded voice.

The wireless circuit unit 170 receives a telephone call or data sent by an external telephone through the antenna 171 and transmits the data to the control unit 100 or transmits data stored in the memory unit 150. That is, transmission and reception of voice data and control data are controlled. In particular, the present invention receives the weather / traffic information. Of course, the weather / traffic information may be received through the base station or the satellite system.

When the timer unit 180 has alarm setting or schedule management, the timer unit 180 counts the elapsed time and transmits the elapsed time to the control unit 100. Of course, in the present invention, the timer unit is separately configured, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in the control unit 100. That is, when the user sets the time of the alarm function or schedule management, the elapsed time is counted until the set time is reached and the control unit 100 is notified.

By the system configuration of FIG. 1 described above, it is possible to notify the change according to the weather / traffic information, and the change display process of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

First, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of notifying change based on weather / traffic information.

Of course, prior to explaining the flow chart of Figure 2 there is a process of setting the reservation time, such as alarm or schedule management. For example, a user may set an alarm at 7:00 am tomorrow.

Therefore, the mobile communication terminal stores the alarm or schedule management data in the notification information DB 153. In this state, the mobile communication terminal receives the weather / traffic information through the wireless circuit unit 170 (step S200). Of course, the weather / traffic information can be received in the form of a text message or information service, etc., it would be desirable to receive at regular intervals.

When the weather / traffic information is received, the analysis module unit 140 temporarily stores it in the memory unit 150 and extracts time, expected temperature, weather forecast, traffic situation, and the like, and extracts the extracted information to the analysis information DB 151. It is stored (step S210).

Of course, at this time, the analysis module 140 determines whether an exception occurs from the extracted weather / traffic information (step S220). This will be described in more detail, and the analysis module 140 checks whether there is rainfall, cloudy weather, or the like in the extracted weather / traffic information. Of course, for this purpose, since the analysis module unit 140 is usually a program tool, such related data will need to be stored in advance in the analysis information DB 151. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be set in the analysis module unit 140.

As a result of determining whether such an exception has occurred, when an exception occurs, the analysis module unit 140 notifies the controller 100 of this. In this case, the controller 100 checks the scheduled time, date, etc. set in the notification information DB 153, and changes the scheduled time (step S230).

That is, when an exception occurs from the weather / traffic information, it is reflected in the scheduled time set in the alarm or schedule management. For example, if a rain forecast is extracted from the weather / traffic information during the morning, it is considered an exception and is reset early.

In other words, the weather time is changed according to weather / traffic conditions. Dividing this into several cases would look like this:

1) Rainy days: 10 minutes forward change

2) Snowy day: 30 minutes forward change

3) Hangang Bridge: Change in 20 minutes

Therefore, if the morning wake-up call is set at 7:10 am, it may be 10 minutes earlier to change the scheduled time to 7:00 am.

The controller 100 searches for the RFID DB 152 with the change of the scheduled time and recommends a suitable item for the exceptional situation (step S240). In other words, when the prediction of the morning rainfall is extracted from the weather / traffic information, it is a process of informing the user to prepare an umbrella.

The process of recommending an article is shown separately in FIG. 3. That is, when an exception occurs, the controller 100 searches the RFID DB 152 to recommend an object for the user to prepare for the exception (step S300).

The search checks whether the corresponding article exists (step S310). If it is confirmed that the article exists, it indicates that the article exists (step S320).

On the other hand, if there is no corresponding article in the step of checking whether the corresponding article exists, it indicates that there is no corresponding article (step S311).

Of course, if an exception occurs as described above, instead of searching the RFID DB 152, the RFID module unit 130 may sense whether there is a corresponding article by sensing an article in the house.

Therefore, when the article recommendation search is completed, the control unit 100 displays the change (step S250). A screen example showing this is shown in FIG. 4. In other words, the screen example "Today's precipitation forecast umbrella ready" is displayed. Of course, if the alarm or the wake-up call is set with the screen example as described above, the ring tone is output to the speaker 161.

It's also possible to announce the changes spoken. In other words, with an alarm, "Today's precipitation forecast today. Prepare an umbrella." Of course, if there is no umbrella found in the RFID DB (152) "There is precipitation forecast today. There is no umbrella prepared." Voice messages such as this will be possible. Thus, the user will know that there is no umbrella in the house.

On the contrary, in the step S220 of checking whether an exception occurs, if the exception does not occur, the controller 100 executes an alarm or schedule management according to a predetermined time of setting information (step S221).

 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail using the preferable Example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to a specific Example, If the person who acquired the ordinary knowledge in this technical field, without departing from the range of this invention, It should be understood that many modifications and variations are possible. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention will be preferably interpreted by the appended claims.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of enabling the preliminary preparation by reflecting the change of the situation in conjunction with the weather and traffic information and notifying the user of this state.
