First Embodiment

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a terminal with a user-specific automatic answering function according to the present invention.

2A to 2G are diagrams illustrating an execution screen of a terminal having a user-customized answering function according to the present invention.

And, Figure 2h is a diagram illustrating the appearance of a terminal with a user-specific automatic response function according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 2H, a method of manually setting a user-specific auto answering function through a terminal according to the present invention will be described.

The terminal 101 according to the present invention includes a user input unit 102, a data receiving unit 103, a control unit 104, a memory unit 105, a GPS determining unit 106, a data transmitting unit 107, and a display unit ( 108) and the like.

However, the terminal 101 refers to a terminal capable of mobile communication, and may be, for example, a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA).

The user input unit 102 receives a specific command signal from the user of the terminal 101 and transmits it to the control unit 104, for example, a keypad attached to the terminal 101, or the like. This can be

The data receiver 103 is configured to recognize a call connection request signal transmitted from an external terminal for the first time, or to receive GPS data.

The memory unit 105 serves to temporarily or permanently store various A / V data or a predetermined control command.

The GPS determining unit 106 is responsible for calculating the current position, the moving speed, and the remaining time or distance to the destination of the terminal 101. However, the GPS determining unit 106 may be embedded in the terminal 101 or externally but connected in a wired or wireless manner.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) determination unit 106 is relatively accurate to have an error of several meters or several tens of meters by receiving location information using a satellite.

Of course, instead of using the GPS determining unit 106, the location of the terminal may be determined using the cell location registered in the home location register (HLR).

The data transmitter 107 may include a photo information transmitter, a voice information transmitter, a video information transmitter, a text information transmitter, and a GPS information transmitter.

The picture information transmitting unit functions to transmit specific picture information selected by a user or automatically selected to a called terminal during the auto answering function under the control of the controller 104.

The voice information transmitter is configured to transmit specific voice information, which is selected by a user or automatically selected, to a called terminal while executing the answering machine function under the control of the controller 104.

The moving picture information transmitting unit performs a function of transmitting the user's selection or automatically selected specific moving picture information to the called terminal while executing the answering machine function under the control of the controller 104.

The text information transmitting unit functions to transmit specific text information selected by a user or automatically selected to a called terminal while the answering machine 104 is executing under the control of the controller 104.

The GPS information transmitting unit functions to transmit specific GPS information, which is selected by a user or automatically selected, to a called terminal while executing the answering machine function under the control of the controller 104.

The display unit 108, under the control of the control unit 104, outputs a list of incoming text messages or voice messages during the automatic answering function.

In addition, the controller 104 plays a role of controlling each block constituting the terminal 101 as a whole.

Referring to Figures 2a to 2h, a method for manually setting a user-specific automatic answering function of the terminal according to the present invention in more detail as follows. However, the screens shown in FIGS. 2A to 2H are only examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated screens.

As shown in FIG. 2A, a screen for selecting whether to set the answering machine function is output through the display unit 108.

In this case, a signal relating to a command for setting the answering machine function may be applied through the user input unit 102.

If a signal relating to a command for setting the answering machine function is applied, as shown in FIG. 2B, a screen for selecting a specific mode to be set by the user is output through the display unit 108. do.

For example, when the user of the terminal 101 wants to drive after a while, the user may select "driving mode", or when meeting after a while, the user may select "meeting mode".

However, if the situation where the user of the terminal 101 intends to work after a while is not a driving, meeting, class, sleep, meal, etc. illustrated in FIG. 2B, a separate specific mode is provided through the user input unit 102. It can also be set by adding.

If a specific mode is selected with reference to FIG. 2B, the user may manually enter all the detailed items related to the automatic answering function (manual mode), or the user does not need to input the detailed items separately. It can also be set automatically (automatic mode).

The screen for selecting the manual mode or the automatic mode is illustrated in FIG. 2C.

However, in this embodiment (first embodiment), the case where the manual mode is selected will be described as an example, and the operation of the terminal when the automatic mode is selected will be described later in the second embodiment.

When the manual mode is selected as a method for setting detailed items related to the automatic answering function, as shown in FIG. 2D, a screen for selecting a method of providing information to a caller is output.

The caller may be configured to provide at least one of photo information, voice information, video information, text information, and GPS information in a manner of providing information. As described above, it is a feature of the present invention that various information providing methods are possible.

For example, in the screen of FIG. 2B, when the user selects a driving mode, the photo information, voice information, video information, and text information may be preset data related to driving, or the user may not be able to drive the vehicle. In this regard, the data may be specially input.

In particular, the GPS information includes at least one of information on a region name, a moving speed, a distance remaining to a destination, and a time remaining to a destination where the user of the terminal 101 is currently located.

Therefore, when the answering machine function according to the present invention is set, the user who is driving while holding the terminal 101 does not need to take any further action, but the caller who makes a call to the terminal 101, It can tell you what you are driving.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2E, a screen for selecting whether to set a blacklist is displayed.

When a call is received from the terminal having the number set as the blacklist, the controller 104 controls the general call tone to continue without providing the aforementioned various information.

Of course, the concept may be extended to implement a method of providing the above-mentioned various information only when a call is made from a terminal having a blacklisted number, or a call may be received from a specific group of terminals. At this time, it is also possible to design the user-specific answering function of the terminal 101 to operate differently.

For example, it may be set to provide only text information when a call is received from a terminal having a number A, and to provide text information and GPS information when a call is received from a terminal having a number B. FIG.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 2F, a screen for inputting a time at which the automatic answering function ends is output through the display unit 108.

At this time, if the user of the terminal 101 inputs a time for which the answering machine function ends through the user input unit 102, when a call is received from an external terminal while the answering machine function is being executed, The external terminal can be notified in advance of the time when the answering machine function ends, so that when the owner of the external terminal calls again, it is easy to determine whether the user of the terminal 101 can answer the call. can do.

As illustrated in FIG. 2G, a screen for inputting an operation time of the automatic response is output through the display unit 108.

The user sets an automatic response after a specific key input, an automatic response after an arbitrary key input, or an automatic response immediately without key input, with reference to the screen of FIG. 2G.

Of course, the automatic response does not immediately operate without a key input, and after a certain time, the automatic response may be designed to operate without a key input.

However, the specific key may be a button of an existing terminal, or as shown in FIG. 2H, an "auto answer" button may be separately added.

That is, although described by way of example, with reference to the screen output through the display unit 108, the method of providing information to the caller (caller), whether to set the black list, the time when the automatic response function, automatic response operation time, etc. Is determined.

The control unit 104 stores the data in the memory unit 105 and executes the above-described user answering function when a call is received from a specific terminal through the data receiving unit 103.

Second Embodiment

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 1, a method for automatically setting a user-specific answering function through a terminal according to the present invention will be described.

Unlike the first embodiment described above, in the second embodiment, there is a difference that the user does not have to determine the details of the user-specific answering function through the user input unit.

For example, in the screen shown in FIG. 2C, when the automatic mode is selected as the method for setting the detail item, the user no longer sets the setting screens of FIGS. 2D, 2E, 2F, and 2G. The method of providing information to the caller, the blacklist, the end time of the answering machine, and the timing of the answering machine are automatically determined.

However, cumulative information is provided in response to the operation mode, the meeting mode, the class mode, the sleep mode, the meal mode, and the like, the method of providing information to the caller, the blacklist, the end time of the answering machine, and the timing of the answering machine. All the stored data is stored in the memory unit 105.

The accumulated data is used as a database of a user-customized answering machine.

In more detail, if the user of the terminal 101 selects the operation mode on the screen of FIG. 2B and selects the automatic mode on the screen of FIG. 2C, the controller 104 may include the memory unit ( Using the database stored in 105, the most selected detail item can be detected.

For example, if the driving mode is selected, the most selected method is to provide the picture information and the GPS information to the caller, the most selected A as the blacklist, and the average time for the automatic response end time is T. If it is detected that the most frequently selected information is to be operated after a specific key input as an operation timing, the controller 104 provides the detected information (for example, the method of providing the caller with the photo information, GPS information / black). The list may control the user-specific auto answering function according to the A / auto answering end time, the T / auto answering operation time, the operation after a specific key input, etc.).

However, the result obtained according to the database stored in the memory unit 105 may be slightly different from what the user of the terminal 101 thinks. The call request signal of the specific terminal is transmitted to the data receiver 103. If is found, the information provided to the specific terminal may further provide a warning message indicating that the information is automatically set instead of a user setting.
