For example, when the Internet telephone number 070-1234-5678 is displayed in the text message, the telephone number can be correctly recognized using the Internet telephone number automata of FIG.

Letter-only phone number Automata

Typically, a text-only phone number consists of a text-only identification number of a shop (#) or a star (*) and a four-digit user identification number. A text-only phone number is an example of a phone number assigned to a broadcast station so that viewers can receive text messages. For example, it consists of # 1234 or * 1234. In the case of Korea, the identification number is designated as one special character shop (#) or star (*), and the user identification number is composed of 4 digits selected from 0-9.

When displaying a text-only phone number in a text message, a user can enter the text in various ways. A hyphen (-) or a space can be displayed between the text-only identification number (# or *) and the user identification number (1234). (E.g., # -1234 or # 1234), and in some cases can be displayed without hyphens or spaces (e.g., # 1234). In addition, parenthesis () may be inserted in both Internet identification numbers (for example, (#) 1234).

Incorporating this, it is possible to display a text-only phone number in various forms, such as # 1234, # 1234, # -1234, (#) 1234, depending on the user sending the text message.

Recognizes the parenthesis "(", the next transition state is either the shop "#" and the star "*", then the parenthesis ")." Then, a user ID number selected from 0 to 9 digits is selected. Recognizes four digits. If a hyphen "-" or a space "b" is written between the character-only identification number and the user identification number, these special characters are recognized first, followed by the four-digit user identification number.

In addition, if the first recognition character is any one of the shop "#" and the star "*", the transition to the next state recognizes the selected four-digit number from 0 to 9 numbers of the user identification number, if the character-only identification number and the user If a hyphen "-" or a space "b" is written between the identification numbers, these special characters are recognized first, followed by the four-digit user identification number.

For example, when the text-only phone number # -1234 is displayed in the text message, the phone number may be correctly recognized using the text-only phone number automata of FIG. 5.

Speed Dial Automata

Due to the mistake of the caller, the local identification number (031, etc.) or the mobile phone identification number (010) may be omitted, and the text message may be sent only by describing the seven-digit or eight-digit user identification number. In this case, the recipient who receives the text message can add the area identification number or the mobile phone identification number to the recognized phone number so that the recipient can change the completed phone number.

If only 1234-5678 is listed in the text message, the 7-digit or 8-digit telephone number is recognized through the speed dial number automata as shown in FIG. 6, and the region identification numbers (16 kinds) are stored in the storage unit 170 by default. Type) or mobile phone identification number (six types), which the user can select and change to a complete phone number. For example, in the case of a Seoul phone number, it can be changed to 02-1234-5678. To this end, the storage unit 170 should be stored in advance in the area identification number (16 types) or mobile phone identification number (six types) table as shown in Table 1 below. For the region identification number table, refer to Table 2 to be described later, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The general phone number is composed of at least seven digits, so if seven or more digits are recorded, it can be judged as a telephone number, but 3, such as a text-only phone number (# 1234) or a name phone number (KIPO 1234), There are also four digits, so if at least three digits are displayed, it can be determined as a phone number.

Next, the phone number recognition unit 150 may recognize the phone number using the various phone number automata described in FIGS. 2 to 8 (S905). If there is a local name or a premises name in the text message, the telephone number recognition unit 150 recognizes the pattern by matching the local name table or the premises name table stored in the storage unit 170. For example, if the area name is Chungcheongbuk-do, 043, and if the name is JPO, 042-481 is pattern matched. Since various telephone number automata recognition methods have been described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Next, the controller 190 applies the telephone number link indication to the telephone number recognized in step S905 and displays it on the display unit 130 (S917). The phone number link display is displayed in a similar manner to the URL display of an internet browser by using color and / or underscore, which is a well known technique, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted. By displaying the telephone number link in this way, the user can easily confirm the recognized telephone number.

Next, the cursor is generated through a menu or a shortcut button of the key input unit 180 to move the cursor to the linked phone number (S909). In this case, when the cursor is moved to the phone number for the user's convenience, a picture such as a hand may be displayed.

Finally, when the cursor is moved to the linked phone number through the key input unit 180, the controller 190 stores the linked phone number or activates a call or message transmission menu with the linked phone number, and the user stores / It enables to perform any one of the call / message transmission (S911).

According to embodiments of the present invention, a terminal user can easily perform a call, storage, and message transmission by using a phone number in a recognized text message. Mobile phone numbers and Internet phone numbers can be stored, called, and sent. Messages, phone numbers with local names, speed dial numbers, and phone numbers with local names can be saved and called. Store and send messages.

10, a description will be given of how the display unit proceeds, for example, when a mobile phone number is displayed in a text message.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a call, storage, or text message transmission by recognizing a mobile phone number in a text message according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the mobile phone number may recognize various mobile phone numbers in the text message using the mobile phone number automata as shown in FIG. 2. The mobile phone number in the recognized text message is displayed as a link, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), so that the user can easily check. For example, a recognized mobile phone number may be displayed in color and / or underlined (similar to the display of a URL link in an Internet browser) to alert the user.

Next, as shown in (b) of FIG. 10, the user may generate a cursor and move the cursor to a mobile phone number in a text message on which a link is displayed by using a key input unit to select a mobile phone number. For example, a finger display may appear when a mobile number is selected. There are various ways to create a cursor. You can specify a cursor generator in the menu, or create a cursor by specifying a cursor shortcut or a numeric key in advance. The method of generating a cursor is the same method as the method of generating a cursor when a text message is written, and since it is already known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, when the user moves the cursor to the recognized mobile phone number and presses the OK button, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10, the display of ① call, ② storage, and ③ message transmission appears on the display unit 130 screen. If necessary, you can make a call or send a message to the mobile phone number in the text message, or save the mobile phone number. As described above, a general telephone number, a telephone number including a local name, a telephone number including a premises name is indicated by a call and a storage mark, and a text-only telephone number is indicated by a store and a message transmission mark.

Finally, when the user wants to call, if you select the call menu, the call is executed to the phone number in the text message as shown in (d) of FIG.

According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, by accurately recognizing various phone numbers from the numbers included in the text message to check the text message and at the same time to perform the call / store / message transmission to the phone number in the text message It is possible to eliminate the hassle of having to re-enter the user to remember the phone number in the text message in the existing terminal.

In addition, since the type of telephone number in the text message can be accurately determined using an automata, it is possible to use a communication means possible according to the type of telephone number. That is, the mobile phone phone number Internet phone number to enable the call / message transmission / storage, the general phone number to enable the call / storage, the text-only phone number may be able to transmit / store the message.

Further, the phone number including the local name or the phone number including the name of the premises may perform pattern matching with the area name / premises name table stored in the storage unit, and then convert the phone number into a complete phone number, thereby enabling the call / storage.
