As the caller display service is implemented in the mobile terminal, a list of telephone numbers sent by the user and a list of telephone numbers received by the mobile terminal are sequentially stored according to time in the 'recent call list' menu, and the user has the recent call list menu. If you select, it will be presented sequentially from the list of recently dialed or received phone numbers.

In particular, the phone number list and the phone number list received by the mobile terminal according to the mobile terminal device may be classified and stored as 'calling number list' and 'receiving (listing) number list', respectively. Numbers that do not receive an incoming call may be stored separately in a menu named "List of missed calls."

In the recent call list as described above, there may be a number that the user wants to store in the phone book.

These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the description thereof will be omitted.

2 is a block diagram of a mobile terminal for supporting the present invention. FIG. 3 is a screen diagram of a mobile terminal for explaining a method of storing a recent call list number in a phone book according to the present invention. Is a flowchart for explaining a method of storing a recent call list number in a phone book of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a mobile terminal for supporting the present invention includes a keypad 10 configured to generate key data corresponding to a key selected by a user and to transmit the generated key data to the controller 20. The control unit 20 performs overall operation control of the mobile terminal, a memory 50 for storing an algorithm and a phone number or a text message for operating the mobile terminal, and an information signal generated during an operation operation of the mobile terminal. And a display unit 40 for displaying and a radio frequency transmitting / receiving unit 30 for transmitting / receiving a voice signal or a text message to a base station.

In particular, since the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal is the same as the existing mobile terminal configuration, it is specified that only the schematic components are listed above.

In the mobile terminal having the above configuration, a process of storing the phone number of the recent call list in the phone book will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, the user operates the keypad 10 of the mobile terminal to select a recent call list menu (S10).

The 'recent call list' menu may have a different name for each terminal.

When the user selects the recent call list menu, a telephone number list is presented as shown in FIG. 3A, and when the user selects one number among them (S20), detailed information on the selected number is presented as shown in the lower portion of FIG. 3A.

That is, the number '0171232233' selected by the user is an outgoing call number, and it can be seen that the call was made at 4:59 pm on December 2.

When the menu key is pressed while the number is selected, a menu list is presented as shown in FIG. 3B, in which the user selects a 'telephone book edit' menu for storing the selected number (S30).

If the phone book edit menu is not selected in step S30, the operation by the key input by the operator is executed (S45).                     

Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, the full names stored in the phone book are sequentially presented to search for the name of the counterpart to store the number, and the user searches the counterpart name by moving the up and down keys (S40).

Alternatively, when the phone book edit menu is selected in step S30, an input window for inputting a name to be searched may be presented.

If the other party's name is found in the phone book in the same manner as described above (YES in S50), the other party's name is selected, the phone number list of the other party's name is edited and stored (S60).

As shown in FIG. 3D, a home phone number has already been stored in the phone number list of the other name 'Hong Gil Dong', and the user selects a phone type (mobile phone) to store the number selected in step S20 from the phone number list of Hong Gil Dong. After selecting, select 'Paste'.

Then, the mobile phone number of Hong Gil-dong selected in step S20 is additionally stored in the phone number list of Hong-Gil-Dong.

However, if the user wants to store in the phone number list of Hong Gil-dong is not a mobile phone number but a home phone number, and selects the icon representing the home phone number in FIG. 3C, the number is stored instead of the previously stored home phone number. (Overwrite).

If the other party's name does not exist in the phone book in step S50, after selecting a telephone type for storing the selected number in the same manner as in the conventional method (S62), the other party's name is input and stored (S65).                     

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 a number stored in a recent call list is to be stored in a phone book, the present invention searches for a previously stored counterpart name and stores the same in the phone number list corresponding to the counterpart name. It is possible to prevent an error in which the counterpart name is duplicated on the phone book and increase convenience of the user.
