The present invention relates to a data storage and retrieval method of a mobile communication terminal.

More specifically, by using the name and phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal to create a numeric combination of the keypad corresponding to the name and the keypad combination corresponding to the beginning consonant and the middle vowel of each name, the index function number Save and retrieve data of the mobile communication terminal that allows users to quickly find the desired target by storing them as columns, and generating real-time number strings according to the keypad input by the user, and displaying the results by comparing and searching the previously stored number strings. The present invention relates to a method for automatically entering a sentence input screen when the number of keypad inputs entered by the user in the standby mode exceeds a preset number according to the present invention, so that a function associated with a character can be selected and executed. .

In general, mobile communication terminals are rapidly spreading due to the convenience of the portable terminal, and service providers are competitively developing terminals having more special functions to secure a large number of users.

For example, the mobile communication terminal provides various functions such as a phone book, a game, a scheduler, a short message, the Internet, an e-mail, and a wake-up call. In particular, one of the most used functions in the mobile communication terminal is the "phone book".

In the prior art, looking at the phone book function of the mobile communication terminal, the most frequently used is a search function that searches by name of a person and lists the search results in order of name. In addition, a search function using a shortcut number, a part of a telephone number, a group classification, and a storage time is provided.

Meanwhile, the user may press a separate search button to search for a phone number or find and search for a phone number search screen in an initial menu. Accordingly, when the phone number search screen is opened, the user can start a search by selecting a desired search item from the phone number search menu.

That is, looking at the menu structure of a conventional telephone number, the telephone number search menu has a menu such as searching by name, searching by number, and speed dial search. If the user wants to change the selected search method, the user should return to the initial menu and select the desired search method again.

That is, in the conventional technology, when a user searches by number, search by name, search by name, or performs a function such as writing a message, saving a memo, inputting a schedule, setting an alarm, sending an e-mail, or the like. There was a complicated and time-consuming disadvantage of selecting a menu first and then pressing a confirmation button for each step and a step for selecting a function corresponding to each menu.

In addition, in the conventional method, since the search is performed only when the user presses the input button, the intermediate process cannot be checked. Also, since the unnecessary input button exists, the search takes a lot of time, and the user does not need to perform a function related to text. There was an uncomfortable problem such as writing a sentence through various procedures of menu selection.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, using the name and phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal keypad combination of the number corresponding to the name and the starting consonant and middle vowel of each name After generating a number combination of the numbers stored in the mobile phone terminal as an index function, and generates a real-time number sequence by the keypad input by the user to compare and search with the stored number sequence while changing the number of candidates and the number of candidates in real time The present invention provides a method of storing and retrieving data of a mobile terminal, which displays a user's desired target quickly.

Another purpose is to provide an associated menu screen when a user wants to perform a function associated with a number or letter using the entered number or letter even while a search is in progress, and the keypad by the user in the standby mode. As a result of the name and phone number search performed according to the input, the candidate list does not exist, and when the number of keypad input exceeds the preset number of inputs and it is determined that the keypad input is not a new telephone number input, the screen is automatically switched to the sentence input screen. The present invention provides a method of writing a sentence of a mobile communication terminal and selecting a function related to a text, which enables a user to select and execute a function related to a text after completion of writing.

As described above, in the method of storing data of a mobile communication terminal, (A) inputting and storing a name and a telephone number using a keypad of the mobile communication terminal, and (B) from the input name and telephone number. It provides a data storage method of a mobile communication terminal comprising the step of generating and storing a number string for the search,

In the method of searching for data and inputting sentences of a mobile communication terminal, (a) When the keypad is pressed in the standby mode, a search is performed using a number string formed by keypad input to simultaneously display the numbers, letters, candidate lists and candidate numbers of the keypad. Displaying on one screen; and (b) pressing the keypad three or more times to perform a 'phone number sequence' search with the formed number to simultaneously display the formed number, the formed letter, the candidate list, and the number of candidates on one screen. And (c) if the predetermined number of preset numbers is input by continuously pressing the keypad, determining that the character is input for the sentence creation and switching to the sentence input screen, wherein the data searching method and sentence input are performed. By providing a method.

In general, a mobile communication terminal including a cellular phone, a personal communication system (PCS), a personal data assistant (PDA), an IMT2000 terminal, and the like includes a control unit, a ROM, a RAM, a keypad, a display unit, an RF unit, and the like. If you look briefly at its characteristic features,

The control unit (MPU: Micro-processor unit) controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. For example, it performs processing and control for voice call and data communication.

The ROM may be a database that stores microcode and various reference data of a program for processing and control of the controller, and stores various updatable storage data such as a phone book.

The RAM stores temporary data generated during the execution of various programs in a working memory of the controller.

The keypad includes a number of 0-9 keys and a plurality of function keys such as menu, cancel, confirm, call, end, internet access, navigation keys, etc., and provide key input data corresponding to a key pressed by the user to the controller. do.

In particular, the number keys of 0 to 9 include different Korean or English character keys (Samsung keypad, LG keypad, Pantech keypad, etc.) for each mobile communication terminal, and the four navigation keys are each specific. It is used as a shortcut to directly access a menu item, a phone book, a top menu list, a music box, and the like.

The display unit displays status information generated during the operation of the mobile communication terminal, a limited number of characters, a large amount of video and still images, and the like.

The RF unit decreases the frequency of the radio frequency signal received through the antenna to increase the frequency through the baseband processing to transmit through the antenna.

Hereinafter, a detailed description of the processing and control of the mobile communication terminal that does not meet the object of the present invention will be omitted, and the data storage and retrieval method and sentence of the mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings The input method will be described in more detail.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a data storage method of a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1 in more detail the data storage method according to the present invention,

The user inputs a name and a phone number to be stored through the keypad of the mobile communication terminal (in the present invention using the Cheonjiin method of Samsung) (S102) and stores it (S104).

The stored name and the phone number are given a value formed by a series of numbers for comparison search and display, and are stored in the memory of the mobile communication terminal.

For example, if your name is 'Park Su Hong' and your number is 011-9056-7976,

The number of the keypad pressed to enter the 'Park Su Hong' becomes '712483288230' and is stored as 'number string by the formed character' (S108),

8 corresponding to the number 7 corresponding to the consonant of each name, that is, the number 7, corresponding to 'ㅂ' of 'Park Su Hong', among the number strings ('712483288230') formed by the input and stored by the keypad. , '7888123223', which extracts 88 corresponding to 'ㅎ' and 12 corresponding to 'ㅏ', 12 corresponding to 'ㅏ', 32 corresponding to 'TT', and 23 corresponding to 'ㅗ' (S106). Stored as a string of strings (ㅂㅅ ㅎㅏ ㅜㅗ) '(S108),

The input telephone number '01190567976' is configured as a 'telephone number sequence' and stored in the memory (S108).

Of course, the input name ('Park Su Hong') is also configured as a 'string' and stored in the memory.

Accordingly, a plurality of names and phone numbers stored in the mobile communication terminal are stored as 'number strings formed by the formed letters', 'number strings by starting consonants and intermediate vowels' and 'phone number number strings' through the above process. It is then used as data for future comparisons.

To summarize the terms characteristic of the present invention used in the above, 'number string by the formed character' used in the present invention is a combination of numbers of keypads pressed to input the 'Park Su Hong' (eg, ' 712483288230 '),' number sequence by the start consonant and the middle vowel 'refers to a combination of numbers corresponding to the start consonant and the middle vowel of each name among the numbers of the input keypad (eg,' 7888123223 ').

In addition, the telephone number sequence indicates the telephone number (eg, '01190567976') entered above.

Of course, when the 'string' is generated, 'string' refers to the name (eg, 'Soo Hong Hong') inputted above.

Hereinafter, a method of easily retrieving data in a mobile communication terminal using the stored 'number string by the formed character', 'number string by the start consonant and the middle vowel', and the 'phone number string' as described above will be described. It will be described in more detail with reference to.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a data retrieval method of a mobile communication terminal according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a data retrieval method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

4 to 11 illustrate a process of selecting 'string search by start consonants and middle vowels', 'string search by formed letters', 'telephone number strings' search and related functions according to the present invention and continuing the keypad. When the number string is stopped by the input of a predetermined number and the predetermined number of numbers is reached, it is determined as a text input, and the screen is switched to a sentence input screen, which is an embodiment of a mobile communication terminal showing a process of selecting a function associated with a text.

2 to 11, the data retrieval method and the sentence input method of the mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

In the present invention will be described by the Samsung Cheonjiin method as an example, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the same principle can be applied to other Hangul input method.

First, when the first user presses the keypad of the mobile terminal regardless of numbers or letters to search for a name or make a call in the mobile terminal's standby mode (or standby mode), the first user recognizes the numbers and characters on the keypad simultaneously. Will be displayed on.

Of course, pressing the keypad to write a sentence is also applicable (S204).

If the first input of the keypad is a consonant (S206), the number strings by the starting consonants and the middle vowels are searched for the number strings of the pre-stored consonants and the middle vowels using the numbers (S302). .

That is, the number and letters of the keypad are simultaneously input, and the number strings by the start consonants and the middle vowels are searched for the previously stored start consonants and the middle vowels using the digits, as shown in FIG. 4A. As described above, the numbers, letters, candidate names and candidate numbers of the keypad are displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal (S304).

When the first input and the consonants are described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4A, when the user presses 8 on the keypad, the characters corresponding to 8 and 8, that is, the consonant 'ㅅ' are displayed on the screen. Using the number 8 corresponding to the letter 's', the candidate list and the number of candidates are displayed by performing a 'number sequence by the starting consonants and the middle vowels' for the previously stored starting consonants and the middle vowels. .

If the user selects one of the candidate lists, the phone number of the selected candidate is displayed and a menu screen is provided to provide a menu screen such as a call, an edit, a message creation, or the like, and immediately attempts to connect the call (S308).

If the user does not select any of the candidate list (S306), if the user inputs the numbers and letters of the keypad again and the input letters are consonants (S310), as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, the steps S302 to Will continue to perform step S310,

Referring to Figures 4b and 4c in detail, as shown in Figure 4b the number entered through the keypad again 9 and the character corresponding to the number 9, that is, the consonant 'ㅈ' is displayed on the screen, The number of candidates and the number of candidates are displayed by performing a 'number sequence by the starting consonants and the middle vowels' with respect to the previously stored starting consonants and the middle vowels using the number 9 corresponding to the 'ㅈ',

As shown in Fig. 4c, again, the number input through the keypad is 88 and the character corresponding to 88, that is, the consonant 'ㅎ' is displayed on the screen (in this case, the input time interval of the same number is within a certain time period. To display the second consonant displayed on the keypad.), Search for 'number string by starting consonant and middle vowel' using number 88 corresponding to 'ㅎ' to display candidate list and number of candidates. do. The user can select a desired candidate by operating a navigation key when the desired candidate is displayed even while the search is in progress.

4D and 4E illustrate a process of continuously searching for a middle vowel without selecting a desired candidate among the candidates indicated by the start consonants and the middle vowels input in the previous step. For example, let's say that the candidate you want is "Shin."

Since the starting consonants and middle vowel numbers of 'Shin Jang Hyuk' are '898811221', 'Shim Jong-hak' is '898812312', and 'Shin Jung Hwan' is '89881212312', the candidate is entered as shown in FIG. 4E. Only 'Shin Jang Hyuk' will remain.

In addition, the search for 'number sequence by the starting consonant and the middle vowel' indicates the candidate list (31 persons) searched as shown in FIG. 4A in the initial search, and when the search is made again, the first candidate list shown in FIG. 4A is searched. (31 persons) are searched again to display the candidate list (13 persons) as shown in FIG. 4B. When the search is made again, the candidate list (13 persons) shown in FIG. 4B is again displayed. The search is performed to display the candidate list (5 persons) as shown in FIG. 4C.

In particular, the candidate list is characterized in that the candidate that was higher when the candidate list searched and outputted in the previous step is displayed in the lower case when the candidate list becomes a candidate in the next step (e.g., the "sim" in FIG. 4B). The order of Jong-hak ',' Shin Jung-hwan ',' Shin Jang-hyuk ',' Song Jin-ho ', and' Seo Ju-hong 'are reversed in Fig. 4c in order of' Seo Ju-hong ',' Song Jin-ho ',' Shin Jang-hyuk ',' Shin Jung-hwan ', and' Shim Jong-hak '. Is displayed alternately).

If the characters of the keypad input in step S310 are vowels, a 'number string by the formed character' is searched for a pre-stored name using a number corresponding to the formed character, as shown in FIG. 5B by the keypad. The input numbers, the formed letters, the candidate list and the number of candidates are displayed on the screen of the mobile communication terminal (S210).

Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, when the user presses 8 on the keypad as shown in FIG. 5A, the letters corresponding to 8 and 8, that is, the consonant 'ㅅ' are displayed on the screen, and the '′' is displayed on the screen. Using the number 8, the list of candidates and the number of candidates are displayed by searching 'number string by starting consonants and middle vowels' for the consonants of the first name already stored.

When the input of the second keypad becomes a vowel, the search for 'number string by start consonant and middle vowel' is stopped. That is, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the number of the keypad input second is 1, a character corresponding to '81', that is, 'hour' is displayed, and a 'formed character' for the previously stored name using '81'. Search for 'number sequence' to display the candidate list and the number of candidates.

If the user selects one of the candidate lists (S212), the phone number of the selected candidate is displayed and a menu screen associated with the name is provided to provide a menu screen such as a call, an edit, a message writing, or to immediately try to connect a call. (S214).

In addition, even when a search result is displayed, when a user wants to perform a function associated with a number or letter using a number or letter input through a keypad, the user can perform a desired function by pressing a shift key or a predetermined key.

If the user does not select any one of the candidate list (S212), and if the number of inputs of the keypad is three or more, the searched 'phone number sequence' for the stored phone number using the formed numbers and the previously stored name. Simultaneously perform the 'number string by the formed character' for the number displayed by the keypad as shown in Figure 5c, the formed character and candidate list and the number of candidates are displayed on the display of the mobile terminal at the same time (S216).

The 'phone number number string' search can be performed only when the number of the input keypad is three or more as in the present embodiment, since too many names are candidates for the number string search by two numbers.

As shown in FIG. 5C, when the number input through the keypad is the second time, the character corresponding to '812' and 'sa' are displayed on the screen, and the '812' corresponding to the 'sa' is used. The list of candidates and the number of candidates are displayed by simultaneously performing a 'phone number number string' search on the pre-stored phone numbers using the 'number string by the formed letter' search and the number '812'. ,

The result of the search for 'phone number number string' is displayed at the top of the screen, and the result of the 'number string by the formed character' search is displayed at the bottom of the screen so that the user can easily check the result.

Candidates 'gu Bon Seung-seung' and 'Dong Dong-young' of FIG. 5C are marked because they include '812' in each phone number, and the other candidates are candidates including the '812' number string in the name.

In addition, the 'number sequence by the start consonant and the middle vowel' search displays the candidate list (31 persons) searched as shown in FIG. 5A in the initial search, and again by the first 'formed character' as shown in FIG. 5B. When the number string search is performed, the candidate number list (14 persons) is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B by performing a 'number string by formed character' search with all registered candidates in the terminal, and the keypad continues as shown in FIG. 5C. When the input is made, the 'number string by formed letters' search is performed on candidates obtained in the previous step, and the number of input keypads becomes three, so that all registered candidates in the terminal and 'phone number string' A search is made to display the candidate list (8 persons) as shown in FIG. 5C.

When searching for 'number string by start consonant and middle vowel', 'number string by formed letter' search, and 'phone number string' search for the first time, all the candidates should be compared and searched. When the keypad is continuously input, the comparison search only needs to be performed on the candidates obtained in the previous search step.

If the user selects one of the candidate lists (S218), the phone number of the selected candidate is displayed and a menu screen is provided to provide a menu screen such as a call, an edit, a message creation or the like, and immediately attempts to connect a call ( S220).

If the user does not select one of the candidate lists and continuously inputs the numbers and letters of the keypad, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, 'number sequence by the formed letters' is continuously searched and 'telephones'. Search for "number number string" to display the list of candidates and the number of candidates.

As shown in FIG. 6C, if input is continued on the keypad in the absence of a candidate list, as shown in FIG. 7A, all searching is stopped and numbers and letters are displayed according to continuous input.

FIG. 7B shows a function associated with the name and number when the user presses the OK button after finishing the input in FIG. 7A so that the user can select and execute the function.

As shown in FIG. 7C, when the user continuously inputs the keypad and inputs the number of preset numbers according to the algorithm of the mobile communication terminal (S222),

As shown in FIG. 8A, the input of the keypad is determined as a character input for writing a sentence, and automatically switches to a sentence input screen, and displays all letters formed through the keypad (S224).

The number of preset numbers may be set to include the maximum number of all possible phone numbers such as up to 12 if the keypad input starts with 0, up to 20 if the number starts with 00, etc. This can be effectively set considering various cases.

As shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the user creates a sentence through the sentence input screen, and when the writing is completed, displays the function associated with the character so that the user can select and execute it (S226).

Figure 9 is an embodiment showing when the telephone number search by name according to the present invention. 10 is an embodiment showing when the phone number search by the phone number according to the present invention. 11 is an embodiment of providing a function menu in a search result by name or telephone number according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, a case in which a user inputs a name that is known in advance is searched.

As shown in FIG. 9a, when the user presses the number 7 corresponding to 'ㅂ' of the keypad, the 'number sequence by the start consonant and the middle vowel' is searched for the consonants of the first name previously stored using the number 7 above. To display the results,

As shown in FIG. 9B, when '712' is pressed, a 'number string based on a formed letter' is searched for a pre-stored name using the number 712, and a 'phone number number string' search using '712' is also performed. And display the result.

As shown in FIG. 9C, when the keypad input is continuously performed, the result of the search for 'number string by formed letters' using '71248' is displayed.

In this way, even if the character string search is not complete, such as '박 ㅅ', the number string search is performed, and the user can stop the input and select a desired target if there is a desired candidate among the displayed list candidates.

Referring to FIG. 10, a case in which a user inputs and searches a phone number known in advance is described.

As shown in FIG. 10A, when '01' is input among the numbers on the keypad to search for '011-827-2030', 'number sequence by the formed letter' is searched for the previously stored name using the 01. To display the results,
