A method of selecting a redial phone number of the present invention in the above mobile terminal will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, a 'call' key is input by the user while the mobile terminal is waiting (S1).

Since there is a 'call' key input operation by the user, subsequent operations are connected, so the step S1 is indicated by a processing symbol.

When the 'call' key is input in step S1, the recent call list is presented (S2).                     

As shown in FIG. 3A, the recent call list of step S2 is presented with a telephone number or the name of the other party in chronological order, and the recently called list is presented at the top.

When the recent call list is presented, the user selects the other party's telephone number (or name, hereinafter referred to as 'phone number') using the up and down navigation keys on the keypad 10 (S3). ).

After the user selects the phone number of the other party to call, and inputs a key for 'confirmation', the controller 20 searches whether the phone number is stored in the phone book (S4), and the phone number is stored in the phone book. In the case of the stored number, the telephone number list of the selected counterpart is presented on the display unit 40 (S5).

As illustrated in FIG. 3A, when the user selects 'Hong Gil-Dong' from the recent call list, the result of searching for the name Hong Gil-Dong in the phone book is presented as shown in FIG. 3B.

In particular, the recent call list is presented as a name when the phone number of the other party is stored in the phone book.

When the other party's phone number list is presented in step S5, the user selects a number to call from the home phone number, the mobile phone number, and the company phone number (S6), and enters a 'call' key (S7) to call the corresponding number. A connection is attempted (S8). In FIG. 3C, a call connection is attempted to the company telephone number of the counterpart selected by the user.

If the telephone number selected by the user in the recent call list in step S4 is a number not stored in the phone book, a message such as "no other number" is output (S9), and the user makes a call to the number selected in the recent call list. In order to enter the 'call' key (S10) and attempts to connect the call to the number (S11), and after the message output of the step S9 is terminated if the 'call' key is not input.

However, there may be a case where two or more telephone numbers are not stored in the counterpart telephone number list presented in step S5. That is, only the phone number presented in the recent call list is stored in the phone book.

In this case, since the user cannot select another number, when the user inputs a 'call' key, a call connection is attempted to the telephone number selected in the recent call list.

Therefore, the present invention is useful when two or more phone numbers of the other party are stored in the phone book.

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.

As described above, in the present invention, when the user inputs a 'call' key while the mobile terminal is in standby, a recent call list is presented, and the other phone number of the other party is selected for the phone number selected by the user from the recent call list.
