Hereinafter, a call record management method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 3A and 3B are views illustrating a missed call display method of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4A to 4E illustrate a missed call display method of a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining a correspondence relationship between missed call items and missed call log data.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the user selects the phone book menu, the call log view menu, and the missed call menu in order as shown in FIG. 4A to check the call log of the missed call, the control unit 270 does so in step S301. By sensing, it is checked whether there is a missed call in step S303. That is, the controller 270 searches the storage 250 to determine whether there is data according to the missed call.

If there is one or more missed calls as a result of the checking, the control unit 270 displays the missed call list 410 on the display unit 260 as shown in FIG. 4B in step S305. If there is no missed call as a result of the determination, the controller 270 proceeds to step S307 and displays the absence of the missed call on the display unit 260 using a pop-up window or the like. Each item in the missed call list 410 may use the subscriber's name or the subscriber's phone number as the title of the item. When a call is received, the subscriber's name is used if there is phonebook data corresponding to the call receiving telephone number. Otherwise, the subscriber's call receiving telephone number is used. Each item representing a subscriber serves as a title of call log data. That is, 'duley' indicates that call log data having a title 'duley' of the subscriber exists.

If there is a key input for selecting one subscriber from the missed call list 410, the controller 270 detects it in step S309 and activates the item selected in step S311. For example, as shown in Fig. 4c, the 'high road movement' item is activated.

If there is a key input of the menu 420 while the selected item is activated, the controller 270 detects this in step S313 and displays the slide menu on the display unit 260 as shown in FIG. 4D in step S315.

If there is a key input to select the '5. Delete' menu 430 in the slide menu, the control unit 270 detects it in step S317, and whether there is an item using the same name or phone number as the item activated in step S319. To judge. On the other hand, if there is a key input for selecting another menu in the slide menu, the control unit 270 detects this in step S317, and performs the corresponding function in step S321.

If the same item exists as a result of the determination, the control unit 270 deletes another item except for one of the same items from the missed call list in step S323. Unless deleted, an item will be referred to as a representative item. Subsequently, the control unit 270 stores the call log corresponding to the item deleted in step S325 in the storage unit 250 corresponding to the representative item. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, call log data 520 has been stored corresponding to each of the five 'Go-gil-dong' items 510, and five call log data (5) is stored in one 'Go-gil-dong' representative item 530. All of the 540 are linked. Therefore, when the user wants to check the call log data of the deleted item, all the call log data can be displayed.

On the other hand, if the same item does not exist as a result of the determination, the controller 270 deletes the activated item in step S327.

In operation S329, the controller 270 displays the missed call list as shown in FIG. 4E. The missed call list of FIG. 4E reflects the deletion of step S323. As shown in the figure, only one representative item of one of the 'Ko Gil-dong' items was deleted. Accordingly, other items ('torch' and 'microcall' items) that could not be viewed due to the size of the display unit 260 may be viewed. In this way, the present invention can efficiently provide more information about missed calls.

In the description with reference to FIG. 3, the item of the same name is deleted from the missed call list, leaving only the representative item. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method provided by the present invention when a user wants to search for call log data (for example, a date and time when a missed call occurred) corresponding to a deleted item of the same name. Shall be.

6 is a view for explaining a call log data management method of a missed call according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7a to 7c is a view for explaining a call log data management method for a missed call according to an embodiment of the present invention Screen example.

If the search has a key input for selecting a representative item, the control unit 270 detects this at step S601 and displays the call log data list 710 as shown in FIG. 7A at step S603.

If there is a key input for selecting any one data from the displayed call log data list 710, the control unit 270 detects it at step S605, and activates the selected data as shown in FIG. 7B at step S607.

If there is an input of a menu key 720 for requesting the display of the slide menu in the state of activating the selected data, the controller 270 detects it in step S609 and displays the slide menu as shown in FIG. 7C in step S611. .

If there is a key input to select the '4. Delete' menu 730 in the slide menu, the control unit 270 detects this in step S613 and checks whether there are other items in addition to the data activated in step S615. In other words, it is checked whether only one piece of data corresponding to the missed call remains. On the other hand, if there is a key input for selecting a function other than the '4. Delete' menu 730 in the slide menu, the control unit 270 detects this in step S613, and performs the corresponding function in step S617.

If there is other data as a result of the check in step S615, the controller 270 deletes the data activated in step S619. On the other hand, if there is no other data as a result of the check in step S615, the controller 270 deletes the activated data and the missed call item corresponding to the data.

As described above, according to the present invention, the same missed call item is unified to display more items on one screen, and the call log data required by the user is provided as a list to compare each time of the missed call at a glance. I was able to find out. This allows you to manage your missed call records more efficiently.
