The present invention relates to a method for deleting a call list of a mobile terminal, and in particular, to search for the same list in a call list using a search key and delete the results collectively so as to efficiently use a limited call list storage area and to delete the same list. The present invention relates to a method for deleting a mobile phone call list, which is suitable for reducing repetitive input.

In general, a call using a mobile terminal has a limited number of frequently used telephone numbers. Therefore, by having a call list for a faster call, the user can quickly find a desired phone number from a list of recent calls.

To do this, most mobile terminals provide a list of recently called telephone numbers by pressing the 'call' button once. However, the recent call list has a limited size and leaves a record in the order in which the calls were made so that the frequently called list is repeatedly recorded.

Therefore, users can edit the recent call list for faster calls, and delete the phone numbers that have been repeatedly used or the phone numbers that are not to be used for a while to secure an available area. However, if there are many phone numbers used repeatedly, they should be deleted one by one while checking them individually.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a conventional call list editing.

As shown in the figure, when the call key is pressed, the telephone numbers that have been talked so far are displayed on the screen in order according to the call order.

Most call lists store up to dozens of recently used phone numbers and their names, so the list that can be displayed on one screen is limited.

Pressing the direction key increases or decreases the currently selected address, and the focus of the current control is placed on the contents stored in the address. Therefore, if the call key is pressed again at the currently selected address, the call is made to the phone number of the corresponding address. If the delete key is pressed, the contents of the address are deleted.

As shown in the figure, the address of the list can be selected by using the arrow keys, the contents of the list can be deleted by pressing the delete key, and other processing such as making a call or leaving the call list edit state by pressing the call key or the cancel key can be performed. can do.

If the current address is deleted, the address is reset for the list after the address, and the address number of the addresses after the current address is decreased by one.                         

The process may be repeated until the call list edit state is left.

Therefore, the above method must be repeated in order to delete all lists of the same contents.

As described above, the conventional method for deleting a call list of a mobile terminal is inconvenient to repeat an operation using a direction key and a delete key for all areas in order to delete a list of the same contents. There was a problem that the effective call list is not used frequently.

In view of the above problems, the present invention improves the user's convenience by using the search key in the call list display after searching the same contents and deletes the call list. The purpose is to provide a method.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of displaying a call list; Determining a key input to change the selection list address by increasing or decreasing the address number of the currently selected list; Determining a key input and selecting addresses of the searched lists while searching and displaying lists of the same contents by using directly input contents or contents of a currently designated list; Determining a key input if the delete command includes the step of deleting the currently selected address or the list of the selected addresses and rearranging the call list.

The search command comprises pressing a search key to display an input window; Allowing the user to enter a name or telephone number of the list and press the search key again to perform a search based on the input contents; The method may further include performing a search based on the contents of the currently selected list address by pressing the search key once again without inputting anything into the input window.

An embodiment of the method for deleting a call list of the mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of an embodiment of the present invention, which illustrates a method for editing a call list as shown.

First, if you press the call key, the phone numbers that have been talked up to now are displayed in order according to the call order.

Since most call lists are stored, dozens of call lists are limited so that the list can be displayed on the screen.

Pressing the direction key increases or decreases the currently selected address, and the focus of the current control is located on the contents stored in the address. The focus of the control is determined by the direction key, and the delete command through the delete key deletes the contents of the list address where the focus of the current control is located.

In the present invention, as shown, the step of using a search key is further provided to enable batch deletion.

When the call list is displayed, the search key is displayed to display an input window. The user inputs a name or a phone number of the call list in the corresponding input window and presses the search key again. The search command displays a list of all contents stored in the current call list that match the input contents. The control then focuses on each of the addresses of the currently displayed lists. That is, it remembers all the addresses of the currently displayed lists.

As shown above, all lists with the same contents are displayed by searching. If the delete key is pressed while all addresses are selected, the contents of the currently selected addresses are deleted according to the general deletion method and the call list is rearranged to display the same contents. You can easily delete them in bulk.

If you press the delete key without searching, you delete only the contents of the address where the current control focus is located and rearrange the call list.

All the above steps are repeated as long as there is no input to press the call key again to attempt a call with the currently selected list contents or to exit the call list editing state such as cancel key input or closing a folder / flip.

Accepting the user's input in the search step may also require unnecessary input of the user, and thus may include a more convenient method.

In other words, you can add a method to search the contents of the list where the current control focus is located. Press the search key to display the input window, where the user enters the name or phone number of the list and press the search key. If it is pressed again, the search is performed with the corresponding input contents. If the search key is pressed again without inputting anything in the input window, the search is performed with the contents of the list where the current control focus is located.

By using the above-described method, the call list can be easily edited, which simplifies the editing.

As described above, the method for deleting a call list of the mobile terminal according to the present invention searches and displays the same list as the current address using the search key while displaying the call list, or searches and displays the same list as the user input and deletes the searched lists collectively. By doing so, the user's convenience can be improved and the limited call list area can be effectively used.
