Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include at least one identifier, a memory 110 storing at least one message including the identifier, and an identifier upon receiving a message. A controller 120 for determining whether to replace the message among the messages stored in the memory 110 with the received message and storing the message, an RF unit 130 for performing wireless signal processing for communicating with the mobile communication terminals; And a voice processing unit 140, a speaker 150, a microphone 160, a key input unit 170 composed of buttons, a display unit 180 providing a main LCD and / or a sub LCD, and the like.

The memory 110 stores an operation program and a system program of the controller 120, and the operation program and the system program are stored in a ROM area that is normally included and can be erased as necessary. In addition, the memory 110 may include RAM for temporarily storing data generated during execution of various operating programs.

In particular, the memory 110 stores various terminal information of the mobile communication terminal, at least one identifier for discriminating whether to replace or store the message, and at least one message including the identifier.

Here, the identifier includes a telephone number (e.g., a sender's telephone number) and a word (e.g., a spam word).

In addition, the memory 110 stores an identifier setting procedure for setting such an identifier. Accordingly, when a message including a set identifier is received by setting a desired identifier (for example, a sender's telephone number) desired by the user, the message including the identifier among the messages already stored in the memory 110 is replaced with the received message. It can be stored, so you can manage your messages conveniently.

In the present embodiment, the identifier is set as the sender's telephone number, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the identifier may be set as a specific word. It is also possible to set the sender's telephone number and a specific word as an identifier.

The controller 120 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal and determines whether the received message includes an identifier stored in the memory 110 when a message is received from a mobile communication network (not shown). According to the determination result, it is determined whether to replace the message including the corresponding identifier among the messages already stored in the memory 110 with the received message and store the message.

In addition, when the received message (for example, the second message) includes an identifier, the controller 120 determines whether a message including the identifier (for example, the first message) is confirmed. Based on the result of the determination, it is determined whether to replace the second message with the first message and store it.

Accordingly, even if the received message is the same as the message stored in the memory 110, if the message stored in the memory 110 is a message that is not confirmed by the user, the received message is retained while the message stored in the memory 110 is maintained. The message may be stored and managed in the memory 110 as a separate message.

The RF unit 130 is controlled by the controller 120 and converts a signal output from the controller 120 into a wireless signal. In addition, the RF unit 130 converts the radio signal received through the antenna ANT to a desired signal and outputs it.

The voice processing unit 140 modulates the voice signal input from the microphone 160 and converts the voice signal into voice data, and converts the voice data input from the RF unit 130 and voice data stored in the memory 110 into voice signals. The demodulator outputs the voice through the speaker 150.

The key input unit 170 includes a plurality of numeric keys, menu keys, and function keys for performing various functions, and outputs key data to the control unit 120 by an external operation.

The display unit 180 is a display device such as a main liquid crystal display (LCD) and a sub LCD, and displays the state of a mobile communication terminal or the progress of a program under the control of the controller 120. That is, the overall state of the mobile communication terminal and input user information are displayed.

The identifier setting unit 122 performs an identifier setting procedure for distinguishing whether or not to store a message by replacing it.

In more detail, the identifier setting unit 122 sets the sender's telephone number of the received message as an identifier when the message is received. At this time, the set identifier is stored in the memory 110.

In addition, when a menu for setting an identifier is selected from the user, the identifier setting unit 122 provides an identifier input window and sets a phone number or word input through the provided input window as an identifier. At this time, the setting window includes a comment input field so that the user can recognize the reason for setting the phone number or word to be set as the identifier or the number or word.

In addition, the identifier setting unit 122 may be configured to activate only a selected identifier among at least one identifier set by the user.

The message receiver 123 receives a message from a base station (not shown) through the RF unit 130.

The determination unit 124 determines whether the identifier stored in the memory 110 is included in the message received by the message receiving unit 123. In this case, when activating at least two identifiers among the identifiers stored in the memory 110, the priority may be set to determine whether the identifier corresponding to the set priority is included in the received message. The priority is preferably set in the order of the sender's telephone number and the word.

In addition, when the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110, the determination unit 124 determines whether the message including the identifier in the memory 110 is confirmed by the user.

When the message processor 125 determines that the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110, the message processor 125 receives the message including the corresponding identifier among the messages stored in the memory 110. Replace with and save. At this time, the memory 110 searches for a message including the corresponding identifier and replaces the retrieved message with the received message and stores the message.

For example, when the identifier is set as the sender's telephone number, it is determined whether the received telephone number is included in the received message, and as a result of the determination, the sender's telephone number is included in the received message. Retrieves the message containing the sender's phone number in the message and replaces the retrieved message with the received message and stores the message.

In addition, the message processor 125 determines that the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110 and the message including the identifier in the memory 110 is not yet confirmed by the user. If not, the received message is regarded as a separate message and stored in the memory 110.

At this time, the message processing unit 125 provides a pop-up window with notification information indicating that a message including a corresponding identifier stored in the memory 110 has not been confirmed yet. Accordingly, it can be easily seen that the message including the identifier set by the user has not been deleted.

On the other hand, when the message processing unit 125 determines that a message including the identifier in the memory 110 while the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110, the determination result of the determination unit 124, The message is replaced with the received message and stored in the memory 110.

By doing so, when the user receives a duplicate message or a message including an identifier set by the user, the message is stored in the memory 110 by replacing the message including the identifier with the received message. It can be managed conveniently. That is, the user can conveniently manage the message without the hassle of having to delete the duplicately received message or one-time message.

A message processing method of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

Detailed menu items as provided are provided. Next, in Figure 4 (b) '7. Set Identifier 'menu item is selected, the identifier setting unit 122 sets the sender's telephone number of the received message as an identifier and stores it in the memory 110. At this time, if the set-up sender phone number is already stored in the memory 110, the notification information indicating that the set number is already displayed in a pop-up window, and the set-up sender phone number is already stored in the memory 110 If not, as shown in (c) of FIG. 4, notification information indicating that the identifier is stored is displayed on the screen.

Referring to FIG. 5, when a menu for setting an identifier is selected from a user, detailed menu items as shown in FIG. 5A are provided. When 'number' is selected in FIG. 5A, the identifier set as the number is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B. Next, when the 'add' or 'modify' menu is selected in FIG. 5 (b), an input window as shown in (c) of FIG. 5 is provided, and a number to be added or modified is input through the provided input window and used as an identifier. Is set. At this time, the number is a telephone number.

Here, the input window includes an input field of a phone number or word to be set as an identifier, and a comment field so that a user can recognize the reason for setting the phone number or word to be set as an identifier or the number or word.

The identifier shown in FIG. 5B is two sender telephone numbers (eg, 22111158 and 22111123). Recognition information (e.g., John, Charlie) that can recognize the sender's telephone number is stored so that the user can easily know the sender's telephone number. Such recognition information is information input in the comment input box in FIG. In addition, 'A' shown in (b) of FIG. 5 represents an identifier to be activated among at least one identifier stored in the memory 110, and the transmitter telephone number '22111158' is activated as an identifier.

In addition, when 'word' is selected in (a) of FIG. 5, an identifier set as a word is displayed as shown in (d) of FIG. 5. Next, when the 'add' or 'modify' menu in FIG. 5 (d) is provided, an input window as shown in FIG. 5 (c) is provided and the word is added or modified through the provided input window and is set as an identifier. . In this case, the word is a spam word.

An identifier shown in FIG. 5D is three words (eg, Advertisement, Loan, Gotdamn). Recognition information that can recognize the word. In the present embodiment, since the recognition information is not set, it is displayed as 'XX'. In FIG. 5D, 'B' and 'C' represent identifiers to be activated among at least one identifier stored in the memory 110, where 'Loan' and 'Gotdamn' are activated as identifiers. .

As such, the procedure for setting an identifier is preferably performed when a message is received or in a waiting state.

Next, the message receiving unit 123 of the control unit 120 receives a message from a mobile communication network (not shown) (S103).

Next, the determination unit 124 of the control unit 120 determines whether the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110 (S105).

As a result of the determination in step S105, when the received message does not include the identifier stored in the memory 110, the message processing unit 125 of the controller 120 stores the received message in the memory 110 (S106). .

As a result of the determination in step S105, when the received message includes the identifier stored in the memory 110, the message processing unit 125 searches for a message including the corresponding identifier among the messages stored in the memory 110 (S107). .

Next, the determination unit 124 determines whether the searched message is in the checked state (S109).

As a result of the determination in step S109, when the searched message is in the checked state, the message processing unit 125 replaces the searched message with the received message and stores it in the memory 110 (S111).

As a result of the determination in step S109, when the searched message is not confirmed, the message processing unit 125 moves to the above-described process S106 and stores the received message in the memory 110. At this time, the message processing unit 125 displays the notification information indicating that the searched message is not confirmed in a pop-up window. Accordingly, the message including the corresponding identifier stored in the memory 110 can be easily identified, and the user can be notified that the message designated by the identifier is not accumulated in the message box without being confirmed.

This not only reduces the accumulation of short-lived messages, but also makes efficient use of memory space.

In the present exemplary embodiment, when the received message includes an identifier stored in the memory 110, the message including the identifier is replaced with the received message and stored, but in another embodiment, the received message is stored. Even if a message including the same identifier as is stored in the memory 110, if the message is set to 'protect', the received message may be recognized as a separate message and stored in the memory 110.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when a message including an identifier stored in the memory 110 is included in the received message when the message is received and the message including the corresponding identifier stored in the memory 110 is confirmed, the message is received as the received message. In another embodiment, when the message including the identifier is stored in the memory 110, two types of messages are stored in the unconfirmed state and the confirmed state, the message in the confirmed state. You can also select to replace the selected message with the received message and save it.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

According to the present invention as described above by setting an identifier for distinguishing whether to store the message stored in the memory, it is possible to conveniently manage the received message according to the identifier set by the user. Accordingly, it is possible to conveniently manage the message without the user having to delete the duplicately received message or one-time message.

In addition, according to the present invention as described above, when an identifier that matches the identifier of the message received when the message is stored in the memory, by storing the message containing the identifier by replacing the received message, the one-time message is accumulated Not only can it reduce, but it also has the effect of efficiently using a certain amount of storage space.

In addition, according to the present invention as described above, when a message containing an identifier that matches the identifier of the received message is stored in the memory unconfirmed by the user, by recognizing it as a separate message and storing in the memory, It also has the effect of solving the problem of the alternative type, which unconditionally deletes an unidentified message among messages with the same identifier.

In addition, according to the present invention as described above, when the message containing the identifier that matches the identifier of the received message is not confirmed, by displaying the notification information indicating that the message is not confirmed, it includes a preset identifier The effect is that the user can easily see that the message has not been deleted.
