The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal and a service method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal capable of classifying the intimacy level of a counterpart and a data deletion method using the same.

For today's busy people, mobile communication terminals are becoming a necessity. This is because the mobile communication terminal provides a communication service to people who want to talk without restriction of time and space.

In particular, recently, the transmission and reception of data between mobile terminal users, that is, photo files and messages, have been increasing by using a short message service (SMS) or a multimedia message service (MMS), which are significantly lower than general call costs. As a result, data such as photo files and messages transmitted from the counterparts occupy a substantial portion of the memory capacity, and frequently exceed the rated capacity of the memory provided in the mobile communication terminal.

In case of exceeding the rated capacity of the memory, there are two methods of data deletion currently provided by the mobile communication terminal.

It is a method of erasing all data at once and selecting and classifying data to delete.

In this case, when using the method of erasing the entire data at once, there is an advantage in that the entire data can be deleted at a high speed, but there is a disadvantage in that data cannot be left separately.

In addition, the method of selecting and classifying and deleting the data to be deleted has the advantage that it can be deleted while leaving the desired data, but it is necessary to check all the stored data to classify the data that you want to delete and the unwanted data. It takes a long time. Therefore, as the amount of data stored increases, it becomes more difficult for a user to organize and delete data stored in a memory.

In general, the data that the user wants to store in the memory is generally data transmitted from an intimate partner, that is, a family, a lover, a friend, or the like. However, the current mobile communication terminal does not provide a criterion for classifying call counterparts according to intimacy. Therefore, there is a need to find a method of classifying call parties according to intimacy and efficiently managing data received from the other party according to the classified intimacy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is to automatically classify the intimacy level between each counterpart stored in the telephone number database of the mobile communication terminal and the user of the mobile terminal according to the communication history, thereby automatically saving each stored in the telephone number database. The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal capable of classifying the intimacy level of a counterpart so as to grasp the state of intimacy with the counterparts so that it can be immediately utilized in an interpersonal relationship and a data deletion method using the same.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the capacity of data received from the counterparts and stored in the memory unit exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit, the data can be deleted according to the classified intimacy level, thereby limiting the limited data capacity. The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal and a data deletion method using the same, which can classify the intimacy level of the counterpart to effectively utilize and reduce the time required for data deletion.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when only data received from the counterparts whose intimacy level is the highest priority when data is deleted, the data can be deleted according to the user's selection, so that the data can be deleted quickly while leaving the data desired by the user. The present invention provides a mobile communication terminal capable of classifying the level of intimacy of the other party and a method of deleting data using the same.

Classify familiarity to.

In this case, the communication history provided from the communication history database 14 to the intimacy level classification unit 10 includes a talk time, a frequency of communication, and a frequency of message transmission and reception between the counterparts and the user.

The intimacy level classification unit 10 automatically classifies the intimacy between the counterparts stored in the telephone number database 12 and the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 so that the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 can utilize the interpersonal relationship. do.

In this case, the intimacy level classified by the intimacy level classification unit 10 may be received from each other party stored in the telephone number database 12 so that the data stored in the memory unit 20 exceeds the capacity of the memory unit 20. In some cases, it may be used as a criterion to prioritize data deletion. At this time, since the intimacy level is low, that is, the data sent from an unfamiliar person can be deleted, the data stored in the memory can be managed efficiently.

Since the intimacy level between the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the counterpart may continuously change with time, the intimacy level classification unit 10 is once every certain period (for example, one day, one week, one month). It is desirable to reclassify the intimacy level. To this end, the user may set an intimacy level classification period in the mobile communication terminal in advance.

An example of classifying the intimacy level in the intimacy level classifying unit 10 will be described later with reference to FIG. 2.

When the user searches the phone book, the display unit 20 displays the counterpart list and the counterpart phone number stored in the phone number database 22 together with the intimacy levels classified by the intimacy level classifier 10. In this case, the display unit 20 may display the counterpart list and the counterpart phone number in accordance with the priority of the classified intimacy level according to the user's selection. An example of the display will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

In addition, the display unit 20 periodically classifies the intimacy level in the intimacy level classifying unit 10 and displays a change in the intimacy level to the user. A display example thereof will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

The memory unit 30 stores data received from the counterparts, for example, a photo file, a short message service (SMS) or a multimedia message service (MMS). The memory unit 30 may include RAM (Randon Access Memory / RAM), ROM (Read Only Memory / ROM), or an external expansion configured as an internal memory mounted on a circuit board in the portable terminal to provide the data storage function as described above. It can be implemented in memory. In this case, the external expansion memory refers to a storage device that can be operated by connecting to a mobile communication terminal such as a memory card, a memory stick, a universal serial bus (USB) memory, and an external hard disk.

The memory manager 40 determines whether or not the capacity of the data stored in the memory unit 30 exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 to organize the stored data. The memory manager 40 notifies the user of the fact that the capacity of the data stored in the memory unit 30 exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 through the display unit 20. If the user wants to delete the message, the data stored in the memory unit 30 is deleted according to the intimacy level. In this case, the user may designate an intimacy level to be deleted in advance.

The memory manager 40 deletes data received from a counterpart having a low priority level of intimacy. If only data received from a counterpart having the highest priority level is left, it is preferable to delete the message according to a user selection. In general, the data received from the highest priority counterpart includes data that the user wants to keep.

The controller 50 displays the intimacy level classified from the intimacy level classifier 10 on the display unit 20, and deletes data stored in the memory unit 30 in the memory manager 40 according to the classified intimacy level. It controls what you do.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram of intimacy level classification of the intimacy level classification unit of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, a method of classifying intimacy levels of people stored in the phone number database 12 of the mobile communication terminal based on the talk time, the frequency of communication, and the frequency of message transmission and reception are described. In this case, various criteria may be applied as a criterion for classifying friendships in addition to the elements shown in the drawings.

First, the talk time item calculates the sum of talk time with all the counterparts and divides the number of counterparts stored in the phone number list to calculate the average talk time. When the talk time with each other is higher than the calculated average talk time, the talk time index is displayed as "1", and when the talk time is low, the talk time index is displayed as "0".

Next, the call frequency item calculates the sum of the call frequency with all the counterparts and divides the call frequency by the number of counterparts stored in the phone number list to calculate the average call frequency. When the frequency of calls with each other is higher than the calculated average frequency of calls, the frequency index is displayed as "1", and when the frequency is low, the frequency of call is displayed as "0".

Finally, the message transmission / reception frequency item calculates the sum of the number of SMS or MMS transmissions and receptions with all the other parties and divides the number by the number of correspondents stored in the telephone number list to calculate the average message transmission / reception frequency. When the number of message transmission and reception with each other is higher than the calculated average message transmission frequency, the message transmission frequency index is displayed as "1", and when the number of message transmission and reception with each other is low, the message transmission frequency index is displayed as "0".

In this way, after displaying the talk time index, the talk frequency index, and the message frequency index item as "0" or "1", the person whose total items are all displayed as 1 is the most intimate group (hereinafter referred to as "1 village"). , A group in which two items are represented as 1 is a familiar group (hereinafter referred to as "two villages"), a group in which one item is represented as one is known to some extent (hereinafter referred to as "three villages"), and all Persons marked with "0" are classified into unknown groups (hereinafter referred to as "four villages").

At this time, criteria for classifying each group, names for classifying, and the like may be freely changed.

In this way, the familiarity levels classified by the intimacy level classification unit 10 are confirmed by the mobile communication terminal user through the display unit 20.

3 is an exemplary view of display of intimacy level.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a user of a mobile communication terminal searches a phone book, an intimacy level is displayed alongside each other's phone number or name. At this time, the display is changed according to each intimacy level, so that the user can easily grasp the intimacy level.

In this embodiment, all stars are black by using an asterisk, in case of two stars by black, by chon by two, by one star by black by uncle, and by no black stars. Has four villages.

Such a display method may vary in some cases.

4 shows an example of displaying a message informing of a level change with intimacy.

When the familiarity level classified by the familiarity level classification unit 10 changes, a message is displayed on the display unit 20 to notify the user of the mobile communication terminal.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the user can be notified of the fact that the intimacy of the other party (gangho-dong) has changed from one village to two villages, and can be actively utilized in interpersonal relationships.

5 is a flowchart of a data deletion method using a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

First, the intimacy level classification unit 10 extracts a communication history from the communication history database 14, and each of the counterparts stored in the phone number database 12 of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the user of the mobile communication terminal 100. Intimacy level is classified (S100). In this case, the communication history provided to the intimacy level classification unit 10 may include a talk time, a call frequency, and a frequency of message transmission and reception made between the counterparts and the user of the mobile communication terminal.

Next, the memory manager 40 determines whether the data transmitted from the counterparts exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 (S200), and exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit 30. Through 50) it is notified that the memory space is insufficient (S300).

Finally, the memory manager 40 cleans up the memory unit 30 by deleting data stored in the memory unit 30 according to intimacy (S400). In this case, the memory manager 40 deletes data transmitted from the other party having a low intimacy level, thereby efficiently using the limited memory capacity. A detailed method of deleting data according to the intimacy level will be described with reference to FIG. 6 below.

6 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a data deletion method according to the intimacy of FIG. 5.

Referring to FIG. 6, first, the memory manager 40 deletes data received from four villages among data stored in the memory 30 (S410).

Next, the memory manager 40 checks whether or not the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 is exceeded (S420), and in the case of exceeding the capacity of the memory unit 30, deletes the data received from the uncle (S430). .

Next, the memory manager 40 checks whether the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 is exceeded (S440), and in the case of exceeding the capacity of the memory unit 30, deletes data received from the second village (S450). .

Lastly, the memory manager 40 checks whether the rated capacity of the memory unit 30 is exceeded (S460), and in the case of exceeding the capacity of the memory unit 30, the data received from the first village is selected according to the user's selection. It is determined whether to delete the message (S470). If the user wants to delete the entire stored data, it is possible to delete the messages received from the remaining village, but there may be a message that the user wants to save among the messages received from the village. To follow. Therefore, it is also possible to delete the entire message by deleting the message received from the first village without user selection.

As described above, according to the mobile communication terminal capable of classifying the intimacy level of the other party of the present invention and the data deletion method using the same, between each other party stored in the telephone number database of the mobile communication terminal and the user of the mobile communication terminal according to the communication details. By classifying the intimacy level, it is possible to automatically grasp the state of intimacy with each other stored in the telephone number database, which can be immediately utilized for interpersonal relationships.

In particular, when the capacity of the data received from the counterparts and stored in the memory unit exceeds the rated capacity of the memory unit, the data can be deleted according to the classified intimacy level, thereby effectively utilizing the limited data capacity. It can shorten the lifting time. At this time, when only data received from the counterparts whose intimacy level is the highest priority when data is deleted, the data can be deleted according to the user's selection, so that the user can quickly delete the data while leaving the desired data.

In addition, by displaying an intimacy level between the counterparts and the user of the mobile communication terminal together with the counterpart phone number search, the mobile terminal user can check the intimacy with the counterparts and manage the social network. When the degree of intimacy between users of the mobile communication terminal changes, the user may be notified of the degree of friendship with the other party.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
