In particular, when dial data is generated by key input, the controller 11 parses the dial data to classify the function index data and the telephone number data. The control unit 11 determines whether the parsed function index and the function index of the function index setting unit 27 match, and controls the execution of the setting function for the matched function index. The control unit 11 also controls the outgoing call processing according to the parsed telephone number after the execution of the setting function for the function index.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram of a function table stored in the function index setting unit of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention can set an execution function for each function index by the function table stored in the function index setting unit 27. In the function index, functions related to the control of the communication environment during an outgoing call may be set, for example, 01 for maximum speaker volume, 02 for blocking incoming / short message, 03 for Wibro connection, and 04 for maximum microphone volume. Can be. Here, the function table is an example in which a function index is a number and an execution function is set to each number. In the function table, various function control items of the mobile communication terminal 10 are set by numbers.

Such a function table may be set in the manufacturing process of the mobile communication terminal or may be provided to the user to select a function. In addition to hardcoding, function tables can be implemented through a registry or a database. As a result, a user may dynamically map a desired function.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a call connection device of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Referring further to FIG. 3, the call connection device 30 of the present invention includes a dial unit 31, a parser unit 33, a function controller 35, a function execution unit 37, and a call signal processing unit. The control unit 11 of one mobile communication terminal 10 may be configured inside or outside.

The dial portion 31 recognizes the dial input generated by the key input. Here, the dial input is data input for call connection, and may be a number of 0 to 9 and special characters "*" and "#".

The parser 33 analyzes the dial data generated by the dial 31 to classify the telephone number and the function index. The parsing unit 33 may search for special characters in the dial data to parse whether a function index is included, a phone number, and a function index. Here, the special character may be any one or combination of "*" and "#".

The function control unit 35 checks the setting function by comparing the function index parsed by the parsing unit 33 with the function table of the function index setting unit 27. In addition, the function execution unit 37 confirms the completion of the function execution and the call signal processor 39 controls the call signal processing.

The function execution unit 37 executes the function of setting the function index confirmed by the function control unit 35. The outgoing signal processor 39 controls the wireless communication unit 13 so that the outgoing call can be made to the parsed telephone number.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a call connection method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, and FIGS. 5A to 5C are screen views illustrating a dial data generation process in the call connection method of FIG. 4.

4, the call connection method of the mobile communication terminal 10 according to the present invention is performed in a state in which a function setting for a function index is completed. The setting for the function index may be implemented with the function table. Functions are set numerically as function indexes in the function table. The function table is stored in the function index setting unit 27.

In the standby mode (S111) after setting the function index, the controller 11 checks whether there is a dial input (S113). If it is not the dial input, the corresponding function is performed (S115). When the dial input is confirmed, the controller 11 checks the dial input generated by the key input unit 21 and generates dial data (S117).

When the user operates the key input unit 21 to input the telephone numbers in sequence, the control unit 11 generates a final telephone number through an update process. For example, if the user further inputs "3" while being input to "016-95" as shown in FIG. 5A, it becomes "016-953" as shown in FIG. 5B. The screen 50 displays a number according to the input. The control unit 11 confirms the next input "3" while storing "01695" as dial data and updates the dial data to "016953".

After the user inputs the telephone number "01695301234" in order, the user may input a special character and a function index after the telephone number in order to control the call function of the mobile communication terminal. The phone number and the function index are distinguished by special characters interposed between the phone number and the function index.

The dial data may include one or a plurality of function indices which are input following the telephone number. For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, among the numbers set in the function table in addition to the phone number, “02” corresponding to the notification blocking of the incoming call / short message and “04” corresponding to the maximum microphone power are designated by the special character “. It can be entered after "". As a result, the dial unit 31 generates dial data of " 01695301234 * 02 * 04 ".

Subsequently, when the user presses the call key, the control unit 11 confirms the call key input (S119). When the call key input is confirmed, the parsing unit 33 in the control unit 11 parses the dial data to classify the phone number data and the function index data (S121). The parsing process of the dial data can be performed in various ways, an example of which is shown in FIG. 6.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a dial data parsing process in an embodiment of a call connection method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 further, the parsing unit 33 checks whether the special character "*" is included in the dial data (S123). If it is confirmed that there is "*", the parser 33 recognizes the number before the first "*" as telephone number data (S125). The number following "*" is recognized as functional index data (S127).

The parsing section 33 then checks whether there is a next "*" (S129). If it is confirmed that there is "*", the number following "*" is additionally stored in the function index data (S131), and the process returns to the process of checking whether there is next "*". By repeating such a process, the parser 33 may classify all function indexes and telephone numbers included in the dial data. If it is confirmed that there is no "*", it is returned.

On the other hand, the parsing unit 33 is used when a special character other than "*" is used as a special character, or when a plurality of consecutive special characters are used to distinguish between a telephone number and a function index, and a function index. You can then parse the phone number and each feature index.

In addition, the parsing result may be stored in the parser 33 or another storage device. The parsing process may include checking the repetition number of the same function index, and the repetition number may be stored in the parsing unit 33 or another storage device.

When the parsing process for the dial data is completed, the function control unit 35 in the control unit 11 checks the number of extracted function indices (S133). If the number of the extracted function index is 0, the function control unit 35 controls the call processing unit 39 to allow the wireless communication unit 13 to perform the outgoing call processing of the phone number data (S153). If it is confirmed that there is function index data, the function control unit 35 controls the function execution unit 37 to execute the function set in the function index (S135). An example of this process is shown in FIG.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a function execution process in the call connection method of FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 7, the function controller 35 determines whether the extracted function index data matches the function table stored in the function index setting unit 27. The function control unit 35 checks whether there is a function index "01" (S137). If it is confirmed that "01" is present, the function control unit 35 sets the volume of the speaker 19 to the maximum as set in the function table. The function control unit 35 also checks whether there is a function index "02". If "02" is confirmed, the incoming notification of the incoming call / short message is blocked. If the function index is "03", Wibro is executed. In the case of the function index "04", the function control unit 35 controls the microphone 17 to set the power to the maximum. When the last function index N is confirmed, the function set therein is executed.

When the setting function is executed, the function control unit 35 checks whether the function execution is completed (S139). Upon completion of execution, the function control unit 35 instructs the call signal processing unit 39 to process the call signal for the extracted telephone number data. Accordingly, the call signal processor 39 controls the radio communication unit 13 to perform call signal processing on the extracted telephone number data. Accordingly, the wireless communication unit 13 transmits to the corresponding telephone number through the antenna 30.

When the call is connected, the user can make a phone call with the other party while establishing a desired communication environment. That is, the user inputs a phone number and a function index together during the dialing process, so that the user can make a communication environment suitable for making a louder call or making a call without being disturbed by another phone or short message. It's easy and fast to build. In particular, it can be very useful when you want to make a call using a special connection such as VoIP of Wibro or WLAN.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the function index may be set to a certain level of function execution. The parser may check the repetition degree of the function index and execute a function corresponding thereto. For example, the function index may be set to execute a function of raising or lowering the speaker volume by one level. The speaker volume may be adjusted stepwise according to the degree of repetition of the function index. Functions can be executed sequentially regardless of whether the function index is repeated. Execution will be repeated for the same function. Alternatively, the parser may execute the function set once when the function index is repeated. This is because repeat execution is unnecessary if the same result is obtained even if it is repeatedly executed. For example, if the speaker volume is set to maximum, one run is sufficient.

The call connection device and method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention can build a communication environment of the mobile communication terminal precisely and precisely by using a dialing process for calling. By inputting a plurality of function indices at once to build a specific communication environment, performance of functions for building a specific communication environment can be easily and quickly performed. Therefore, the user's convenience may be improved and the user's satisfaction may be increased.
